There are about 20 million fake users on Twitter, The New York Times says. Twitter has a total of more than 500 million users, which would mean that ~4 per cent of all Twitter accounts are bogus.
Fake Twitter followers have become big business. Mitt Romney was accused of buying 117,000 fake followers to make himself look more viral during the last presidential election. Newt Gingrich was accused of doing the same thing in 2011.
The average price for 1,000 fake followers is $18, according to one study by Barracuda Labs. Mr. Stroppa and Mr. De Micheli said some sellers bragged that they made $2 and $30 per fake account. A conservative estimate, they said, was that fake Twitter followers offered potential for a $40 million to $360 million business.
… The most coveted fake accounts tweet (or retweet) constantly, have profile pictures and complete bios, and some even link to Web sites that they claim belong to them. But in many cases, a close look reveals that some of the accounts were set up purely to retweet material from specific sites.
Twitter has sued five companies that create and sell fake accounts. The Times also reported that tech news site The Next Web created a piece of software that made it easier for otherwise inactive accounts to auto-tweet its stories. (Here's one.) TNW CEO Zee Kane said the company discontinued the project several months ago because it didn't add quality traffic.
The worst part: Jim Prosser, a spokesman for Twitter, says that about 40 per cent of all Twitter users look like fake accounts because they only follow people and never tweet themselves. (Prosser's mum, for instance).
Also, people are allowed to sign up for multiple Twitter accounts and use them for different purposes, he says. Twitter, in other words, can't do a great deal about clever fakes: "It's a hard problem," Prosser told the Times.

One reason I haven't been posting quite as often this week is because I am frantically working on organizing and rearranging to make room for some long-term house guests. I know it is time to celebrate the end of the old year and beginning of the new one and I will be doing that (on a small scale), but this morning I am working on filling these bins. I hope I won't need them all!
The comment and "tip" I want to share is more about shopping for bins rather than anything else.
I received an online "ad" from Lowe's that these great slate blue bins were $2.50 each through January 3rd. They are regularly $4.99. I thought it was such a great price and I had an immediate need for them, so I sent my very nice husband out for some.
When he arrived at the store, they were priced at $3.50 each and he called me to ask if I was sure they were on sale. I double-checked my Lowe's email and sure enough, the price (not an online price only) was $2.50. By the time I called him back to give him the model and item numbers, they had already checked it out and the price was indeed $2.50 and he purchased 20 of the bins you see above.
I guess my tip is be sure to check online prices and make sure the people at the stores give you the price they advertise. (I wasn't the first customer who asked for the $2.50 bin, by the way but the $3.50 price was not changed. Hmmm.) I can't imagine why the "memo" didn't get to the people at the store but I can just see many really nice customers going to the store because of a great sale and then paying one dollar more than they should pay because they don't want to cause problems. It is OK to nicely ask them to check the website or bring your phone or a printed copy with the ad price.
It is hard to imagine that the corporate offices would send out an email with a price and then not change it at the store, but I know it's hard times and maybe they would do that. That is why you really have to check the prices carefully and then stick up for yourself at the store. Let the buyer beware is an old legal term that we need to remember while shopping because companies can resort to trickery -- and get away with it -- unless we hold them to their word.

Finasteride is always broken down by the liver, so it should be taken with certain caution by patients with impaired liver functioning. If you have any liver problems, discuss with doctors how Propecia
may affect them, including its suitable dosage and effectiveness. You may need special monitoring too. This drug is also linked to the increased risk of developing high-grade prostate cancer, but it's still quite small. Keep in mind that Propecia isn't approved to be taken to treat prostate cancer.
Quality treatments at a competitive cost. The main peculiarity of online shopping is the beneficial correlation between high quality and comparatively low cost. Generic medications that are usually offered at online drugstores

Because it's a destination that satisfies a wide variety of travel preferences, there are plenty of great accommodation options in Atlanta, like a 25 Cal Yacht or an historic home via Airbnb or choose one of the many well reviewed but cheap hotels like Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Atlanta/Buckhead.
With a current population of almost 450,000, Atlanta is actually the fifth city in Georgia to act as state capital and currently hosts almost 17 million visitors annually. These days it's most commonly referred to as Hotlanta, due to the warm climate and hopping nightlife, although it was burned to the ground as an act of war in 1864. But like its official symbol, the Phoenix, Atlanta rose from the ashes to become Georgia's largest city and a hub for music, shopping, and industry.
It's likely not the first thing that pops into your mind when thinking about visiting Atlanta, but outdoor adventure is a large part of its appeal. A short drive from the city brings you to hiking trails, rock climbing, camping, fishing, and paddling. Atlanta is very close to the southernmost entrance of the Appalachian Trail, and the nearby North Georgia Mountains and Chattahoochee National Forest both offer equestrian opportunities.
Stone Mountain Park is the best of both worlds. Part amusement park and part natural wonder, Stone Mountain lets you hike the world's largest piece of exposed granite, spend a few hours at Craftivity camp, and then cap off your day with a nightly fireworks spectacular.
Atlanta's always got lots going on, so it's easy to book your trip based on your interests or weather preferences. If you don't mind hustle and bustle and humidity, summer is your best bet – with Atlanta's Fashion Week and the Peachtree Road Race both taking place in July. Deciding to visit a month or two on either side will mean cooler temperatures and lower prices all around.
Springtime in Atlanta is mild and pretty. The dogwoods are beautiful in bloom, but severe thunderstorms can really put a damper on your visit. Fall in Atlanta brings cooler breezes and events like the renowned Atlanta International Music Festival that takes place in September, and the foodie festival, Taste of Atlanta, that happens in October. Since peak tourist season is May to August, finding cheap hotels in Atlanta is absolutely doable.
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport's square footage equals more than 45 football fields. Known for being the world's busiest airport, finding cheap flights to Atlanta is not terribly difficult. Atlanta is the focus city for Southwest Airlines* and the primary hub of Delta Air Lines and their partner ExpressJet. Over a quarter of a million passengers daily fly non-stop to over 60 destinations in more than 45 countries. Hipmunk's powerful search engine can help you source the most agony-free flight to Atlanta.
In spite of its somewhat intimidating size and location on the outskirts of Atlanta, getting to and from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is not complicated or expensive. The usual taxis and shuttle buses are readily available, but Atlanta's public transportation system, MARTA, has a station that is attached to the airport beside baggage claim. A 20-minute train ride downtown costs $2.50 while taxis typically cost at least $30 plus tip.
Once you're in the city and heading out and about, MARTA remains your best bet, since their train system can't be beat for price or convenience.
Finding the best deal on cheap flights to Atlanta should not be an exhausting or intimidating process. A website like Hipmunk aggregates the search results so you can compare and contrast your flight options by price, time, connections, and convenience across all leading airfare sites. Save your time and energy for the parts of trip planning that are really fun like finding hotels, attractions, and restaurants where you'll enjoy yourself since you didn't blow your budget on flights.

Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides are a word processor, a spreadsheet and a presentation program respectively, all part of a free, web-based software office suite offered by Google within its Google Drive service. The suite allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating with other users in real-time.
The three apps are available as web applications, as Chrome apps that work offline, and as mobile apps for Android and iOS. The apps are compatible with Microsoft Office file formats. The suite also consists of Google Forms (survey software), Google Drawings (diagramming software) and Google Fusion Tables (database manager; experimental). While Forms and Tables are only available as web applications, Drawings is also available as a Chrome app.
The suite is tightly integrated with Google Drive.[2] All files created with the apps are by default saved to Google Drive.

Google Docs originated from two separate products, Writely and Google Spreadsheets.
Writely was a web-based word processor created by the software company Upstartle and launched in August 2005.[3] It began as an experiment by programmers Sam Schillace, Steve Newman and Claudia Carpenter, trying out the then-new Ajax technology and the "content editable" function in browsers.[4] Writely's original features included a collaborative text editing suite and access controls. Menus, keyboard shortcuts, and dialog boxes are similar to what users may expect in a desktop word processor such as Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer.
Google Spreadsheets, first launched as a limited test on Google Labs on June 6, 2006,[5] originated from the product XL2Web by 2Web Technologies, which was acquired by Google in June 2005.
On March 9, 2006, Google announced that it had acquired Upstartle.[6] At the time of acquisition, Upstartle had four employees.[7] Writely closed registration to its service until the move to Google servers was complete.[6] In August 2006, Writely sent account invitations to everyone who had requested to be placed on a waiting list, and then became publicly available on August 23. Writely continued to maintain its own user system until September 19, 2006, when it was integrated with Google Accounts.[8]
Writely originally ran on Microsoft ASP.NET technology which uses Microsoft Windows. Since July 2006, Writely servers appear to be running a Linux-based operating system.[9]
Meanwhile, Google developed Google Spreadsheets using the technology it had acquired from 2Web Technologies in 2005 and launched Google Labs Spreadsheets[5][10] on June 6, 2006, as the first public component of what would eventually become Google Docs. It was initially made available to only a limited number of users, on a first-come, first-served basis. The limited test was later replaced with a beta version available to all Google Account holders, around the same time as a press release was issued.[11]
Summary of developments
- In February 2007, Google Docs was made available to Google Apps users.
- In June 2007, Google changed the front page to include folders instead of labels, organized in a side bar.
- On September 17, 2007, Google released a presentation program for Google Docs, which originated from the company's acquisition of Tonic Systems on April 17, 2007.[12][13]
- On July 6, 2009, Google announced on its official blog that Google Docs, along with other Google Apps, would be taken out of beta.[14]
- On January 12, 2010, Google announced on its official blog that Google Docs would allow storage of any file type, with 1 GB of free space and $0.25/GB for additional storage.[15]
- On January 29, 2010, Google announced that support for Internet Explorer 6 would end on March 1.[16]
- On March 7, 2010, DocVerse, an online document collaboration company, was acquired by Google.[17] It allows multiple user online collaboration on Microsoft Office compatible document formats such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.[18] Improvements based on DocVerse were announced and deployed in April 2010.[19]
- On April 12, 2010, Google launched a standalone drawings editor into the Google Docs suite.[20]
- In June 2010, it was reported that access to Google Docs had been blocked in Turkey.[21] A Google employee confirmed the problem saying that it "appear[ed] to be linked to the ongoing ban on YouTube."[22]
- On January 31, 2011, Google began to test a new homepage for docs.google.com. This shows users all of the files, documents or not without having to go to multiple places.[23]
- As of September 29, 2011, Google Docs supported offline viewing through an opt-in beta HTML 5 web app.[24]
- On 26 April 2012, Google launched Google Drive, which supplants Google Docs. It combines all of the Docs features with improved storage functionality.[25] This also incorporates the Google Docs service into Google Drive. Google Docs' URL now redirects to Google Drive.
- On 15 May 2012, a research tool was introduced in Google Docs.[26]
- In June 2012, Google announced that it had acquired Quickoffice, a leader in office productivity solutions.[27]
- On 28 June 2012, offline editing was made available to Google Docs on Chrome and Chrome OS. The capability was announced at Google I/O by Clay Bavor, director of product management for Google Apps. Bavor stated that the company was also working on offline support for spreadsheets and presentations.[28]
- In October 2012, following the launch of Google Drive, Google Documents, Spreadsheets and Presentations were renamed Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, respectively. At the same time, Chrome apps were released which provided shortcuts to the services on Chrome's new tab page.[29]
- On 23 January 2013, offline support was extended to Google Slides.[30]
- On 11 December 2013, Google released a new version of Google Sheets on the Chrome Web Store that added offline support and removed most of the spreadsheet size restrictions, among other improvements.[31]
- On 11 March 2014, Google introduced add-ons for Google Docs and Google Sheets.[32]
- On 30 April 2014, Google announced standalone mobile apps for Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides on Android and iOS. While Docs and Sheets were made available on both platforms immediately, Slides was announced to be "coming soon".[33]
- On 25 June 2014 at the Google I/O, Google Slides was released for Android, while the iOS version was announced to be released over the "coming weeks". At the same time, a new collaborative feature called 'Suggested Edits' was introduced. A new Chrome extension called 'Office Editing for Docs, Sheets and Slides' was also introduced.[34]
- Towards the end of July 2014, Google launched individual home screens for Google Docs, Sheets and Slides on the web. The interfaces incorporate Google's new Material Design language with a simplified menu and extensive use of colours, and is similar to the interface on the mobile apps. Users can still access all of their files collectively through Google Drive.[35]
Google Docs is Google's "Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome browsers running on Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, and Linux operating systems.[37]
Google Docs serves as a collaborative tool for editing documents in real time. Documents can be shared, opened, and edited by multiple users simultaneously and users are able to see character-by-character changes as other collaborators make edits. Users cannot be notified of changes, but the application can notify users when a comment or discussion is made or replied to, facilitating collaboration. There is no way to highlight changes made by a particular editor in real time during a writing session, nor a way to jump to the changes made. However, an editor's current position is represented with an editor-specific color/cursor, so if another editor happens to be viewing that part of the document they can see edits as they occur. A sidebar chat functionality allows editors to discuss edits. Also, the revision history included in the service allows users to see the additions made to a document, with each author distinguished by color, but the entire document must be manually searched to find these changes. The revision history feature only displays one edit at a time, i.e. only adjacent revisions can be compared, and users cannot control how frequently revisions are saved. A new collaborative feature introduced in June 2014 allows any user with commenting access to make edit suggestions. However, this feature is currently available only for documents.[20][38]
The application supports opening and exporting two ISO standard document formats: OpenDocument and Office Open XML. It also includes support for viewing proprietary formats such as .doc and .xls.[39]
Google Docs is one of many cloud computing document-sharing services.[40] The majority of document-sharing services require user fees. (Google Docs is free for individuals, but has fees for business starting at $5/month.)[41] Its popularity amongst businesses is growing due to enhanced sharing features and accessibility. In addition, Google Docs has enjoyed a rapid rise in popularity among students and educational institutions.[42]
In September 2009, an equation editor was added which supports the LaTeX format; however, Google Docs lacks an equation numbering feature.[43][44]
A simple find and replace tool is available; there was no ability to do the search in a reverse direction in the original release, but a later version allowed reverse search and reverse replace.
Google Docs includes a web clipboard tool that allows users to copy and paste content between Google documents, spreadsheets, presentations and drawings. The web clipboard can also be used for copying and pasting content between different computers. Copied items are stored on Google's servers for up to 30 days. For most copying and pasting, Google Docs also supports keyboard shortcuts.[45]
Google offers an extension for Google Chrome Office editing for Docs, Sheets and Slides that enables users to view and edit Microsoft Office documents on Google Chrome, via the Docs, Sheets and Slides apps. The extension can be used for opening Office files stored on the computer using Chrome, as well as for opening Office files encountered on the web (in the form of email attachments, web search results, etc.) without having to download them. The extension is installed on Chrome OS by default.[46]
Google Cloud Connect was a plug-in for Windows Microsoft Office 2003, 2007 and 2010 that could automatically store and synchronize any Microsoft Word document, PowerPoint presentation, or Excel spreadsheet to Google Docs in Google Docs or Microsoft Office formats. The online copy is automatically updated each time the Microsoft Office document is saved. Microsoft Office documents can be edited offline and synchronized later when online. Google Cloud Sync maintains previous Microsoft Office document versions and allows multiple users to collaborate by working on the same document at the same time.[47][48] However, Google Cloud Connect has been discontinued as of April 30, 2013, as Google Drive achieves all of the above tasks, with better results.[49]
Google Spreadsheets and Google Sites also incorporate Google Apps Script to write code within documents in a similar way to Visual Basic for Applications in Microsoft Office. The scripts can be activated either by user action or by a trigger in response to an event.[50][51]
Google Forms and Google Drawings have been added to the Google Docs suite. Google Forms is a tool that allows collecting information from users via a personalized survey or quiz. The information is then collected and automatically connected to a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is populated with the survey and quiz responses.[52][53]
Google Drawings allows users to collaborate creating, sharing, and editing images or drawings. Google Drawings can be used for creating charts, diagrams, designs, flow-charts, etc. It contains a subset of the features in Google Slides but with different templates. Its features include laying out drawings precisely with alignment guides, snap to grid, auto distribution, and inserting drawings into other Google documents, spreadsheets, or presentations.[54][55]
On May 15, 2012, a research tool was introduced in Google Docs.[56] It allows users to easily access Google Search through a sidebar while editing a document.[57]
On March 11, 2014, Google introduced add-ons for Google Docs and Sheets which allow users to use third-party applications installed from the add-on stores to get additional features within the main services.[32] The add-on store was also made available to Google Forms on October 2014.[58]
File limits
Individual documents may not exceed 1 GB as of 13 January 2010, embedded images must not exceed 2 MB each.[59] Files uploaded, but not converted to Google Docs format, may be up to 5 TB in size.[60]
There are also limits, specific to file type, listed below:
- Documents
- 1,024,000 characters, regardless of the number of pages or font size. Uploaded document files that are converted to Google Docs format can not be larger than 50 MB.[61]
- Spreadsheets
- In Google Sheets, spreadsheets can have at most 2 million cells, and formulas are subject to additional complexity limits.[61] Until around 2014, there could have been a maximum of 256 columns per sheet and 200 sheets per workbook, with 400,000 cells in all.[62] Uploaded spreadsheet files that are converted to Google Sheets were restricted to at most 20 MB.[62]
- Presentations
- Presentations created in Google Slides can be up to 50 MB — which is about 200 slides. Uploaded presentation files that are converted into Google Slides format can also be up to 50 MB.[61]
Supported file formats
Files in the following formats can be viewed and converted to Docs, Sheets or Slides formats:[63]
- For documents: .doc (if newer than Microsoft Office 95), .docx, .docm .dot, .dotx, .dotm, .html, plain text (.txt), .rtf, .odt
- For spreadsheets: .xls (if newer than Microsoft Office 95), .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlt, .xltx, .xltm .ods, .csv, .tsv, .txt, .tab
- For presentations: .ppt (if newer than Microsoft Office 95), .pptx, .pptm, .pps, .ppsx, .ppsm, .pot, .potx, .potm
- For drawings: .wmf
- For OCR: .jpg, .gif, .png, .pdf
It should be noted that the viewing/conversion is not always complete or accurate (inaccuracies are mainly formatting and will be visible). Converting a document from a Microsoft format, Openoffice, or ODF format to Google and back again will remove some information and features, and the layout can subtly change. In particular, Google does not support file/document properties (metadata), which would be viewable from Windows Explorer and within the relevant Microsoft application; when converting a document from Google format the file/document properties will not be set.
Mobile access
On April 30, 2014, Google announced standalone mobile apps for Google Docs and Google Sheets on Android and iOS. A similar app for Google Slides was stated to be "coming soon". Google Slides for Android was released on 25 June 2014 at the Google I/O developers conference, while the iOS version was released on 25 August 2014. Google Docs, Sheets and Slides allow users to create, view and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations respectively. These apps also work offline and are compatible with Microsoft Office file formats.[64]
The Safari browser on iOS also allows users to view documents, spreadsheets, and presentation and to edit and create Google Docs documents and spreadsheets.[65] Furthermore, the Google App for iPhone and iPad allows users to view and edit Google Docs files. Most other mobile devices can also view and edit Google Docs documents and spreadsheets using a mobile browser.[66] PDF files can be viewed but not edited.
While Google Docs has been criticized for traditionally lacking the functionality of Microsoft Office, it has received praise for its simplicity, ease of collaboration and frequent product updates. In 2011 The Next Web described Google Docs as a "pretty robust set of free tools that are improving every month".[67]

COLUMBIA, Mo. – The University of Missouri Board of Curators has approved an extension to the contract of President Tim Wolfe, effective July 1 of this year. The board extended the president's original contract, which was slated to run until February 15, 2015, through June 30, 2018.
"The board is pleased to extend President Wolfe's contract to demonstrate our support for his performance as our university's chief administrative officer," said Don Downing, chair of the University of Missouri Board of Curators. "President Wolfe has thoughtfully transformed our strategic planning process in a way that focuses our limited resources on priorities while reducing or eliminating waste and redundancies. He has also been a tireless ambassador, traveling to all areas of the state promoting the value of higher education and how the University of Missouri makes a difference in the lives of Missourians every single day. It is not surprising that enrollment and donations have substantially increased under President Wolfe's watch. We are grateful for his leadership, and look forward to working with him for many years to come."
Under the terms of the extended contract, the president's base salary and performance pay will remain the same. His increase in base salary for the coming year will match the average annual increase for all university employees for the coming year.
The 23rd president of the University of Missouri, President Wolfe joined the university in February 2012. During his tenure, the president's top priorities have included increasing overall awareness of the role the system's four campuses play in advancing the education, economy, health, innovation, arts, culture and the overall quality of life across the state of Missouri; leading the campuses in a strategic planning process that sets a clear strategy for success in the next five to ten years; finding and implementing opportunities for more efficiencies across the system; investing in the university's human capital and expanding research and economic development initiatives.

The market for residential energy management will increase significantly over the next four years due to increased consumer demand and new government and industry initiatives. The number of U.S. households with a smart meter will grow to more than 6 million by 2012, according to Parks Associates.
The international research firm recently announced its new research project, Residential Energy Management: Opportunities for Digital Systems and Services, which analyzes this market, current and future deployments, and consumer preferences.
"Over 1 million smart meters have been deployed in the U.S.," said Bill Ablondi, director, home systems research, Parks Associates. "Utilities see the benefit of upgrading the grid, and consumers are growing more conscious of their energy consumption. Add in incentives from the government, and you have three strong drivers that will boost deployment and innovation in this market."
Parks Associates reports that more than one-half of U.S. households take steps to conserve energy. The impact of this consumer behavior has broad implications for multiple players. Already, a strong majority of U.S. builders recognize energy-efficient amenities as the most positive influencers in selling a home.
"The Obama administration has made the development of energy-efficient technologies and alternative fuels a priority," Ablondi said. "There will be opportunities for manufacturers in smart appliances, utilities investing in smart grid technologies, and start-ups developing innovative energy solutions."
The Project features multiple components, including an online survey of 1,500 U.S. households, company and government profiles, forecasts, and a report on international activities in energy management.

Dwight Powery took six months off when he left Hewlett Packard after a 28-year career with the company in global account management and operations.
"But after awhile, I felt like, 'I've got to do something,'" said Powery who, at 51, already was an active volunteer with several nonprofits as well as a youth basketball coach.
Powery signed on as an "Encore Fellow" with the task of implementing a technology plan at InnVision Shelter Network, the Menlo Park-based nonprofit that provides homeless services in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.
He hit it off with CEO Karae Lisle, soon switching from part-time to full-time, with his $25,000 stipend paid by the nonprofit. When his fellowship officially ended this month, Powery joined the regular InnVision Shelter Network staff as vice-president of strategy and technology.
Encore fellowships are the brainchild of Marc Freedman, founder and CEO of San Francisco-based Encore.org and author of "Encore: Finding Work that Matters in the Second Half of Life." He led the creation of the Experience Corps (now AARP Experience Corps), organizing people over 55 to work on improving education in low-income areas, as well as The Purpose Prize, an annual $100,000 award for "social innovators in the second half of life."
The fellowships — now nation-wide — have been running in Silicon Valley since 2009 with support from companies like HP, Intel and Cisco Systems.
"A lot of people are saying, 'I'm only 55 or 65 and I still have a lot to contribute,'" said longtime technology executive Jere King, a Palo Alto resident who spent her 2012 Encore Fellowship working on marketing, IT and finance projects for Abilities United, which serves people with disabilities.
King was in her last week on the job as a vice-president at Cisco, where she had worked for 16 years, when a senior manager suggested she pilot-test the Encore Fellowship, with the company paying her stipend.
The fellowship at Abilities United, where she already was a board member, gave King "the ability to transition into the nonprofit world and sort of ease into retirement and contribute back in a new way," she said.
Lori-Ann Tarter, a 2013 Encore fellow, put her 25 years' experience in advertising, marketing and media planning to use at the Redwood City-based Center for Excellence in Nonprofits.
Tarter, who years ago worked in high-tech advertising and later as an independent consultant while helping with marketing in her husband's engineering consulting business, heard about the Encore Fellowship from a friend in her book club.
With her younger child approaching high school graduation, Tarter seized on the fellowship as one way to come to terms with her soon-to-be empty nest.
"I notice that a lot of my friends are looking at each other and saying, 'Gosh, what do I do? Once the last child graduates, everything stops. All that volunteer work I did has been tied in with (the children's) lives. Now I'm ready to get paid again.'
"The other side is, you don't necessarily need to make the same size salary and you may not need benefits. It's a great way to tiptoe back into the working world in a nonprofit environment."
Tarter said nonprofit managers have told her Encore fellows offer levels of talent and experience they otherwise couldn't have afforded.
And after decades in the corporate world, fellows King and Powery said the mission-driven nature of nonprofit work was a refreshing change.
"You're dealing with very passionate people solving challenging problems and it's an exciting environment to work in," King said.
But corporate America typically is far ahead of nonprofits — even those in Silicon Valley — when it comes to the operational side of things, with frequently outdated technology and other systems.
At InnVision Shelter Network, Powery has worked on implementing an online payroll system and is overseeing the rollout of new communication systems and routers to the agency's 240 employees in 18 locations, made possible by a nearly half-million dollar grant from Cisco.
"We're starting to use more of the technology to our advantage," Powery said, tiptoeing into systems like conference calling and Webex.
"There's a fine line between when to do it remotely and when to do it in person. Karae and I have talked about this — we don't want to go to one extreme."
One thing that attracted him to the agency, Powery said, was "the business view they took of things.
"They always have the mission in mind — getting people off the streets, getting them into supportive housing, out of homelessness, helping them find a job, case management, client services — but they're always looking at how to make it more effective.
"It's not just 'the mission at all costs.' That's what I enjoy about being there."
But as newcomers from the corporate world, he stressed that Encore fellows must "learn about the new sector, or business, you're in.
"You can't just come in and say, 'I was this executive at HP so I know how to do it.' You have to say, 'Here are some skills I have but I know nothing about homelessness. What can I learn? What can I read? Who are our partners? How does the funding come?'
"So there's a whole new learning curve I've had to go through this last year, which is great. The one thing with Encore is it gives you the ability to use the skills you're good at, and learn while you're there."
Powery said he's come to appreciate the complexities and different types of homelessness, including the mental health and family issues involved.
"I never knew about families that are homeless," he said. "It makes it exciting to know that what I'm doing has an impact."

Hey everyone. I am heading to Oz for business and will be in Adelaide for a few weeks in February. I have been looking for a place to rent a bike over a weekend and can only find people that rent scooters or tractors. I would prefer a motorcycle.
Anyone know of a place that has Sport, Sport Touring or Dual Sport machines in larger sizes in the area to rent for a couple of days?

TORONTO — There's a bunch of little items to go over, so I'm going to attack this bullet style. Ready or not, here we go:
- Alex Rios is in Puerto Rico, where his fiancee was due to give birth to their first child on Friday, and he's expected to miss the entire Yankees series
- A.J. Burnett is now scheduled to start on Sunday instead of left-hander Brian Tallet. Burnett will be pitching on three days' rest
- Vernon Wells is still with the team, but will head home to Texas over the break to begin rehab. He'll rejoin with the club for the series in St. Pete against the Rays and can move his rehab to the club's facility in Dunedin, Fla.
- Aaron Hill still has no timetable for a return from the disabled list, but he at least has some good news going for him. Hill has started fielding grounders and hitting off a tee — his first baseball activity since being shut down in mid June
- Shaun Marcum started throwing off a mound earlier this week and is on pace to come off the DL shortly after the break, perhaps as soon as July 21 or 22, which we already knew.
- Jeremy Accardo is down to throw in a modified mound session on Saturday, meaning it's a lighter work load — maybe 30 pitches or so — and he may be throwing off the front of the mound to lessen the stress on his arm
- Rotation out of the All-Star break looks like Roy Halladay, A.J. Burnett, Jesse Litsch, John Parrish and perhaps Shaun Marcum (if he's ready). Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi doesn't want to call up David Purcey if it's just for one start: "I just don't want to spot start him. … He's deserving of more than one start. He's had a great year in Triple-A, so to run him up for one start, if we bring him up, I think I'd like to have him for more than one start."
- Could that play into the Burnett trade rumors? Well, Ricciardi said there's no talks going on, despite some published reports stating otherwise, but the GM also said that Dustin McGowan's injury doesn't affect the team possibly dealing Burnett: "I dont think McGowan affects anything. If we're going to do anything, we're going to do what helps out club. We've got Purcey, who can come up and pitch, but we have absolutely nothing going in the way of a trade. We're not looking to trade anybody right now and we have no conversations going with anybody in that regard."
So, there you go…

31 Comments
Any idea if anyone is going to be called up to replace Wells and Rios, or are they going to play short handed for the weekend?
Probably not unless they call up Mench.
Halladay looks really good tonight but then again he usually does. I really enjoy watching Halladay pitch. He doesn't waste any time out there. I'm sure the guys playing behind him really like playing for Halladay. Also guys like Jordan love Halladay, they don't have to spend hours and hours at the game.
The Bears are reporting to camp soon, can you believe it? Your thoughts on your Bears? Prediction? I say maybe 7 wins, sorry. Will Brett Favre comeback? The first pass Favre threw was picked off and his last pass was, lol.
Bosox baseball please unless you want to talk CFL If you know what that means.
Do you think boston would like Halladay.
Whats with Rios the baby can wait lol.
Garry—C.F.L.—Grey Cup baby!!!! Warren Moon and one of my favorites Doug Flutie. I don't like 3 downs for the C.F.L.–sorry.
Boston would love too have Halladay but not going to happen. If there was one pitcher in baseball I would want the Red Sox to get it would be Halladay. Nobody else. Brandon Webb of the D'Backs would be the other pitcher but he would be a distant second to Halladay.
Yankees lineup not what it once was. Yankees for some strange reason don't hit with runners in scor. pos. I don't know what the numbers say about that but just from what I have seen this year they strand there fair amount. I doubt the Yankees rank in the top 5. There bullpen before Rivera has surprised me. Wang being out until September has really hurt the Yankees. There starters with Wang were average without him below average for sure. Any team that has Rasner and Ponson in there rotation is in dire straits, lol.
Out of all the days for Rios's wife to have a baby, she has to do it when we are playing the yankees. And with Rios's streak against the yankees, it's a shame that he won't be able to continue it.
Burnett pitching on three days rest? I wonder what that's all about, and if there is any pitch count that he's going to be on.
Jordan also said that Wells is still in toronto, I would have sent him to rehab as soon as possible.
Fredom I'm with you on Wells also Burnett on 3 days rest It makes you wonder.
My god what a play from Scoot to J.Mac It put a big smile on Docs face.
BOSOX Favre asked for his release.
I always say if a pitcher has a no hitter or a one hitter going you keep quiet but not Jamie Campbell on sportsnet no not him yap-yap-yap-like a dog with his nuts caught in the lawn mower next thing you know another hit.
Garry-I almost fell of my chair laughing at your post; but I don't like Campbell either. I think he talks to hear himself.
Good game by Halliday, great play by Scutaro/Macdonald, and if Baltimore and Cleveland keep hanging in, it will be a real good night.
Indigo-it would be boring if we all agreed on the same thing all the time. Different points of view on here are a good thing.
Bosox, the Yanks hit .256 with risp, we are at .240, the Sox are at .270 and Minnesota are #1 at .311. Seattle are the worst in the AL at .237, we're 2nd worst.
So does everyone believe JP, when he says there are no trade talks going on? Did Toronto's director of player personnel Tony Lacava recently spend a couple of days at Double A Reading on holiday or did he just want to watch Reading play the Erie Seawolfes?
Were the multiple scouts in The Rogers center armed with radar guns when Burnett pitched just there to test out their new radar guns? Or did Pat Gillick tell JP to take AJ Burnett and stuff him after his last outing?
Thanks for the info. Just what I thought about the Yankees. Over the years they thrived in those situations, not the case this year. How do you get that info? Where do you look it up? I'm not exactly computer savvy, lol. I defintely have no shot with Indigo now, lol. This day and age, who wants to deal with someone if they can't find there around a computer? LOL!!!
Halladay was great tonight!!! Halladay or Lee will start on Tuesday night. Francona has watched Halladay pitch so many times over the last few seasons against Boston. I wouldn't be surprised too see Francona pick Halladay as his starter on Tuesday night. I would go with Halladay as the starter.
Gsumner— Never ever believe a g.m. this time of year. He is either really dumb or a bad liar. This is the time of year when a g.m. in baseball earns his keep. A very busy time of year for these guys. Why would J.P. even say there are no trade talks going on? Every team is talking to one another. I assume at the end of July, baseball g.m.'s have to surgically remove there cell phone's from there ear's, lol. Of course you can still get something done in August but not too many deals happen.
JP is obviously lying…he doesn't want talks to get out and because he said that I have a feeling that HE DEFINATELY HAS SOME DEALS THAT THEY MIGHT BE TRYING TO WORK OUT. have u guys heard the rumors of Stairs to LAD? we had a scout check out thir A ball team recently.
I don't know why the Jays would want Golson…they have enough outfeilders, however he sounds good. A power hitting with the most speed in any player in that year. Sounds better than rios, more like seizemore or crawford (at his full potential). But he was drafted in 2004 wats he still doing in double AA?
Bosox-this link gives you all sorts of stats, just use different filters presented by the site and you can find whatever stat you want. Enjoy.
Bosox, JP has been caught in more lies to us the fans this year, than the times he tells the truth. Literally once every couple of weeks he tries to put one accross. If he really is not trying to do a deal Mr. Ted Rogers should fire his **** without paying his contract out for gross derelict of job performance. Of course he will be fired for that anyway. lol He could be telling this line of crap right now, because he wants a good start from AJ on Sunday or Gillick told him to go play in someone else's sandbox. Gillick is no fool.
By the way, thanks for loosing tonight, not a good return for Buchholz-what happened?
Harry-Well, it never hurts to have more than less, and giving them AJ for Donald only would be too much of a gift from our side, so why not take Golson as well. Speed is always a good thing and this kid just might develop into something very special.
Hey, check out this kid. Jonathan K. Baksh, outfielder for Lansing. Went 3 for 4 tonight to raise his batting average to an even .400. We drafted him in 2006 out of Florida Tech.
So take a guess where he was born. Mississauga, Ontario. No power but nice average and it's great to see us draft some Canadians. This Lansing team is loaded with talent, which is why they have the best record in the 14 team Mid West League.
Great game tonight let's hope for more of the same tomorow night nite all.
Great game Jays…..
So the jays are shoping Burnett around for a short stop as they are unhappy with what they have at short. I do not disagree that they should not trade Burnett, after all he will be gone after this year and we shoudl try and get something for this carreer under achiever.
I want to through this short stop and second base combination out …… Maco Scutaro and Aaron Hill. Marco has proven he can field and he can hit, why not give him a shot. He has all the athletic ability to play the position. Plus we would still have a super utility man in Englet. Wow what a catch he made in the field. Both Englet and Scutaro have great passion for the game, would be great if the team could feed off that.
Let's face it the jays need to start rebui.lding, because JP has done a miserable job, and He should be the next one gone. If Ted Rogers has a brain he woudl can his butt!
Let's hope that Burnett will shut down the Yankees and make as good show for trade bait. Not holding my breathe though as he is a carreer uinderachiever and would not surprise me to see him stink up the joint. I hope not.
Let's go jays keep the winning streak going.
I also think Scutaro should be giving a chance to play second and hill at short when he comes back but the move makes sence so JP will not make it. How about Mighty Joe it looks like he has decided he wants to play in the big leagues and he is sure showing it,What a catch in right field he made last night.
Thanks for the info. I hope I can navigate thru it, lol.
Bosox-email me if you need help. And tell your guys to do Toronto a favor today and lose again. lol
Bosox-or if you still need help, you could offer to fly Indigo down there, she is very strong in computers. lol
I guess neither of you guys heard JP diss Inglett on a fan 590 interview. He does not like him and I have no idea why. I think Scutaro at 2nd and Hill at short might be a good short term solution, although it's hard to move Hill from 2nd-he is potentially an all-star there, so I dont think anyone would consider that move for long term.
The other potential is to call up Scott Campbell from AA. He is a 2nd baseman, who's hitting .337BA/.427OBP. I keep waiting for this kid to come back to reality in batting average, but he's been there all year. He's only had 4 errors in 80 games, so he looks good defensively. We drafted this New Zealander in 2006.
JP did not like Hudson so he got rid of him I hope JP goes before Inglett I was looking at Campbell yesterday he looks good I think gsumner likes him too.Why they don't bring him up I don't know maybe in sept.
Bosox Indigo would probably melt you computor LOL.
OPPS your computor.
We all know JP tells "porkies," so he may be not be telling the truth regarding possible trades. I have a feeling that GSUMNER was correct when he suggested that any deal with the phillies is off the table – for now. Perhaps starting Burnett against the Yanks and having him throw a gem is the last chance JP will have to convince someone that AJ is worth trading for. The worst thing that can happen to the team is not to come away from this trade deadline with some excellent young talent. We do have pitching, and we should move it. Not just AJ. Let's get this team headed in the right direction so that we can look forward to some good ball over the next 5 years. We are all frustrated, and spend more time talking about our frustrations than the team because none of us believe in this team. Let's get some young guys in here/ up here that we can root for…just like some of us did in the early 80s and 90s.

It's got everything -- from the old school to the new. And by that we mean Al Green will be performing his classic soul and the Strokes and Kings of Leon will also fill the air with their modern hits.
There are so many bands coming to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco this weekend for Outside Lands that our fingers would go numb listing them all.
This music, art, food, wine and eco-friendly festival began in 2008 and now it's in full swing. Golden Gate Park has stages set up and, literally, miles of fencing to keep a lid on the crowd.
Now, back to that eco-twist. There's valet bike parking for those who enjoy pedaling and don't want to circle like a shark looking for car parking. There's cell phone recycling, an ocean beach clean up and the totally-solar Panhandle stage.
And it's best to leave those water bottles at home. The festival's organizers are asking people to to bring a more environmentally friendly option, like refillable aluminum bottles or another type of reuasable container. Fans who come with their 08/09 Outside Lands bottle can drink water for free all weekend.
Heading to the festival? Better grab your blanket and get a spot early.
The first show starts at noon Saturday. The festival runs through Sunday with bands playing on five different stages.

A Translational Approach to Gitelman Syndrome
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00822107
Recruitment Status : Completed

|Condition or disease
|Gitelman Syndrome
|Drug: Hydrochlorothiazide
|Not Applicable
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that Gitelman syndrome (GS) can be diagnosed using a simple clinical protocol. GS is an inherited kidney disease that usually shows up in patients as low blood potassium levels. Currently, no commercial genetic test for GS exists. Currently, GS is diagnosed based upon clinical findings but this method is not precise and often not reliable. Thus, in order to develop new treatments specific for GS patients, a more exact method of diagnosis would be of benefit.
Eligible subjects are men and women ages 21-60 with normal blood pressure who have been diagnosed with low blood potassium of uncertain cause. Subjects may withdraw at any time.
This study requires 3 visits to OHSU's campus. Study Visit 1 will occur during a normal visit with the nephrologist. As part of the normal visit, a complete interview, physical exam and urine and blood samples will be taken. In addition, another blood sample will be taken and used for genetic analysis. A urine pregnancy test will be administered. A Quality of Life survey, described below, will be administered. The genetic analysis, urine pregnancy test and Quality of Life survey are not normal tests for GS. Blood and urine samples, as well as pregnancy tests will be collected/administered at the Oregon Clinical and Translational Research Institute (OCTRI).
During the intervention period, subjects will refrain from taking their potassium sparing medications for 7 days. This period is called the washout period and is needed to ensure that blood tests during the hydrochlorthiazide (HCTZ, a "water pill") (see below), are not affected by medications. On the 3rd day of the washout period, Study Visit 2 will occur at the OCTRI. This will require blood to be drawn, to insure that subjects maintain proper blood levels of potassium and magnesium. Magnesium and potassium supplements will be allowed during the washout. After review of the blood test results, the investigator may adjust the doses of these supplements in order to keep subject blood levels of potassium and magnesium as close to normal as possible. Blood pressure, heart rate and breathing rate will also be checked at this visit.
Study Visit 3 will occur at the OCTRI and will be devoted to the HCTZ test. During the course of the HCTZ test, subjects will have an plastic tube (an IV) placed in an arm vein, have vital signs checked and receive 50mg of HCTZ to take by mouth . Subjects will provide 8 urine samples and 3 blood samples. The time required for this visit is expected to be 6 hours.
The total time required for subjects to complete the study from Study Visit 1 through discharge from the OCTRI on Study Visit 3 will not be less than 9 days and subjects should not expect the total length to exceed three weeks depending on available appointments for Study Visit 3 at the OCTRI.
The Quality of Life survey is derived from a national research corporation and has been modified for use in this study. The authors of this survey allow free public use of this document provided it is properly referenced in any presentation of the study's results.
HCTZ is an FDA approved medication. There are no experimental drugs or devices used in this study.
The purpose of this study is to develop methods for, and determine the feasibility of, performing a HCTZ test and genetic analysis for GS at OHSU. There is no statistical analysis of data, but descriptive characteristics will be entered into an Access database with password restricted access. Genetic samples will be analyzed using PCR and standard sequencing techniques. Data and samples will be stored for a maximum of 15 years.

On Friday the FDA approved eyelash-thickening drug Latisse. The active ingredient in Latisse is the same found in the drug Lumigan, used for treating glaucoma, that caused eyelash growth. You're supposed to apply Latisse directly to the upper lash line. Possible side effects include eye redness, itchiness, and darkening of the eyelid skin. The drug could even cause the colored part of the eye to become browner, potentially permanently. So your eyelashes will be longer and you'll look like a stoner. Sexy! [Reuters]

Sick building syndrome or SBS refers to situations where "building occupants experience acute health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be identified," according to the EPA's Indoor Air Quality website. This can occur either in a specific room or area, or throughout the building.
Symptoms can include:
- headache
- eye, nose, or throat irritation
- dry cough
- dry or itchy skin
- dizziness and nausea
- difficulty in concentrating
- fatigue
- sensitivity to odors
Although the cause of the symptoms is usually not known, sufferers usually report feeling better soon after they leave the building. Poor ventilation, as well as heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) not effectively distributing air throughout the building, seems to be a major contributing factor in SBS.
Indoor and outdoor pollution sources can also contribute to SBS. Indoor air pollution sources include:
- adhesives
- carpeting
- upholstery
- manufactured wood products
- copy machines
- pesticides
- cleaning agents
These sources can emit Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde. Tobacco smoke emits high levels of VOCs, as well as other toxic compounds, and breathable particulate matter. The products of combustion, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and breathable particles come from burning sources like unvented kerosene and gas space heaters, woodstoves, fireplaces and gas stoves.
Outdoor pollution sources such as motor vehicle exhausts, plumbing vents, and bathroom and kitchen exhausts can contribute to indoor air pollution. Also, biological contaminants including bacteria, molds, pollens, and viruses may breed in standing or stagnant water in various locations throughout a building.
Removing or modifying the pollutant source when it is known and controllable is perhaps the best way to resolve an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) problem. Also increasing ventilation and air distribution can help the problem. Another method is to use air cleaners. Finally, using furnace or air filters, especially high performance filters that capture smaller, breathable particles is a great way to alleviate SBS.

Thalamotomy (thalamic ablation) is a surgical procedure that
destroys a small portion of the thalamus. The thalamus is a tiny area deep
within the brain that sends and receives sensory information.
Thalamotomy may benefit some people who have severe muscle tremors
related to Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or certain other medical
conditions. Thalamotomy can prevent abnormal brain activity from reaching the
muscles and causing tremors.
The procedure starts with numbing an area of the head with local
anesthetic. The surgeon then drills a small hole in the skull and inserts a
hollow probe into the brain. Once the probe is properly placed, it is treated
with liquid nitrogen, an extremely cold substance that destroys the brain
tissue by freezing it. The probe is then removed and the wound is
Destroying part of the thalamus usually does not cause any serious
neurologic, mental, or emotional problems.

non-mecha robots designed and used by the space mining company ElectroCorp
A secret MLM (pyramid) company that offers eternal life, but in fact it transfers the life forces of its members to those position "above". If you get high enough, (meaning you get enough new members) you start to enjoy the benefits. Maybe a willing sacrifice is much more effective for the transfer. But no one says, that a suddenly unwilling member, threatening to tell the authorities, may not loose it involuntarily... thus start people to vanish, and aged corpses are deposited somewhere safe.

Trying Out Other Puzzle Types
When you have had enough of crossword puzzles for one day and are looking for other fun ways to boost your brain power, consider the puzzle possibilities listed here. If your newspaper doesn't carry these puzzles, look for puzzle books or Web sites that feature them. Some of the most popular puzzles include the following:
Cryptograms: A cryptogram is a sentence or phrase that's encrypted, meaning each letter has been substituted with a different letter. To figure out what the sentence or phrase says, you have to figure out each substitution.
Word scramble: With this type of puzzle, you look at groups of letters placed in random order and rearrange them into words using every letter. Sometimes letters within the solutions are circled, and the circled letters answer a clue provided by the puzzle editor.
Cryptic crosswords: This type of puzzle is tough. The crossword grid doesn't follow the same rules as a regular crossword. For example, you find lots of unchecked squares on a cryptic crossword. Unchecked squares are white squares that are used in an Across entry but not in a Down entry, or vice versa. Ramping up the difficulty level even more are the types of clues the puzzle constructor creates. No fill-in-the-blanks here; and no trivia either. Each clue is constructed based on wordplay, so you have to essentially solve a riddle or figure out a pun to find the solution. If you're up for the challenge, look for a book of cryptic crosswords or search online for some examples to try. You can be sure that your synapses will break a sweat!
Sudoku: You can find books full of Sudoku puzzles everywhere — probably even in your grocery store checkout lane. Most newspapers publish them as well. The basic Sudoku puzzle is a 9 x 9 grid (it contains nine rows and nine columns) and is divided into nine 3 x 3 grids or boxes. To solve the puzzle, you write in the numbers 1 through 9 in each row, column, and 3 x 3 box. The puzzle constructor gets you started by filling in a handful of entries. Each puzzle has a unique solution; you can't solve it in more than one way. Sound easy? It isn't. But it's definitely fun!
Word searches: When you need a break from the hard work these other puzzle types require, try a word search. You'll still get your brain focused on the task at hand, but success is pretty much guaranteed.
