Hakoniwado can be translated as miniature garden (in a box). Hope customers will get this feeling when opening and drinking our tea
I only started to work with tea and it's still didn't go much further than addition to hobby, thought i'm working in a direction where i could somewhere in future move completely to tea business. For now i'm gaining experience and learning from a local tea shop owner, who has his own shop for about 30 years and using his stock for my own shop.
I'm offering tea from most south tea growing regions Yame and Ureshino. And few Tokoname kyusu.
Until april 25 it's possible to pre-order special edition Yame shincha, it will be ready to ship 1-7 may. Everything else will be replaced by 2011 crop at the end of may or beginning of june.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (54 votes).
In short: Hillier than expectedIn full: I was somewhat surprised how undulating the course was. I was prepared for the final 'scorpion' hill at mile 12, but not the other hills. It was a glorious day which made up for all the 'little' hills. There was a mix up with my joining instructions. I had paid on the Runners World website four weeks before the day of the race, but never received any joining instructions or appeared on the runners list on Tempo's website. These things happen I suppose. I would have preferred a medal to the cheap T shirt. It would have been nice to have got a goodie bag, if not, then at least a banana at the end of the race.Date of review: March 16, 2014
In short: Brilliant organisation by tempo ...course was a gruellerIn full: Really enjoyed this race was a warm up for London next month and got a PB to and was very pleased as this is probably the toughest course I've run with the all the hills etc lovely countryside travelled from burton-on-Trent for the race a lot of the locals were very vocal if you where in a local running club but the marshals were fab etc special mention to tempo ran a couple events now that tempo have done there organisation is spot on very friendly very informative to enjoyable day Date of review: March 11, 2014
In short: Great race, marshalling and organisation In full: Start and finish area on the school field which was great. No queues for toilets which is a bonus.Lovely scenic route with lots of support from Marshall's and people on route. Nice to see your time on a computer at the end. Well done to all involved.Date of review: March 9, 2014
In short: Scenic, undulating, friendly, well organisedIn full: I've done this race all 3 years - it's always well marshalled, well organised, along quiet(ish) roads. Although it's very undulating with a stinking downhill then uphill in the last 2 miles I've got within seconds of my PB (1.30) so it's a good marathon prep race. This year there were just 3 water stations with variety of bottle sizes, SiS in paper cups (didn't work well) at two of them. Being in the countryside there is very little support along the route but the folks at the water stations are always positive. Also it's nice to run in to the Chariots of Fire theme tune at the finish line. If you're in Warks or Worcs then support this friendly local race.Date of review: March 9, 2014
In short: We'll organised but they must have searched for every hill!In full: This course defies geography, how can there be so much uphill with so little downhill!!! We'll organised race with quite a small field that became quite spread out as the race went on. Parking and start we're easy with loads of toilets. The issue was the hills, very little of this is run either downhill or on the flat which can be quite demoralising. A good spring (ish) half to blow the winter cobwebs away. I've been quite critical of tempo events in the past but the organisation was faultless! Would defo do again!Date of review: March 9, 2014
Date of review: March 9, 2014
In short: Will be back next yearIn full: Really enjoyed this race. No queue for womans toilets as there were lots. Lots of water stattions but not enough gels as had all gone when I got there. One of the best races I have done and will be back.Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: Great first half marathon!Date of review: March 14, 2013
In short: A great race, well organised and a great goody bag! Thanks to all the Marshalls and Scouts who braved the cold winds and cheered us on!Date of review: March 14, 2013
In short: The 'Ronseal' of half marathons. Does what it says. Well organised, no nonsense.In full: I did this race last year (1.32) and again this year (1.30) - it is very well organised and good value. I live in a village 5 miles away from start so was familiar with the route which is quite challenging with the undulations. Hill at mile 12 is long but not that steep, definitely a challenge. Nice to get a logo'd drawstring bag as the goody bag - handy, better than t-shirt last year! Medal is basic but then this isn't a big city marathon. Jellybeans, nice touch.Little support on way round but marshals were plenty and cheery, on such a c-c-cold day!! Scenery is pretty good, it is 95% rural so a good chance to blow the cobwebs away and get fresh air. Good atmosphere in school field at finish line, shame no digital clock this year at finish.Yes I'd do it again next year...hope it grows from 250 to 500 to add bit more atmosphere, which was friendly...but subdued, perhaps cos it was SO cold.By the way there is a delightful coffee shop in Blackminster Business Park at the start line - perhaps runners could get 10% off in there after the race?!?Well done Colin & Liz. A good back to basics race that is a pleasure to be a part of.Date of review: March 13, 2013

Sort of like when a white guy goes into a black neighborhood and they all think he's a cop
Early in my work life, I was a CPS caseworker. Being male, I had several cases in what were perceived to be the riskier parts of a city, meaning the projects and low-income housing areas. The black folks were always engaging and respectful. The guys hanging out in the neighborhood would talk a bit at me, all in fun, never any difficulty. The people I encountered in that job, the ones who got serious, threatening, and even occasionally dangerous, were white people. The experiences informed my thinking about stereotypes.
The Rams' offense featuring weapons such as Marshall Faulk, Torrey Holt, and Isaac Bruce were known as "The Greatest Show on Turf"
The Steelers' offense featuring weapons such as Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant should be known as "The Greatest Show on Grass"
This has nothing at all to do with respective playing surfaces at the Edward Jones Dome vs. Heinz Field.

3rd suspect in stabbing of Steelers lineman caught in Fla.
Associated Press |
Police say a third suspect in the stabbing of Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Mike Adams has been captured in Florida.
Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard says 26-year-old Jerrell Whitlock of Pittsburgh was arrested Friday morning in Gainesville in central Florida and is being held there.
Whitlock had been wanted on charges of attempted homicide, attempted robbery, aggravated assault and conspiracy for his alleged role in the June 1 attack on Adams. Two other men are already jailed on similar charges.
According to a criminal complaint, the men tried to rob Adams as he left a restaurant around 3 a.m. and tried to steal his vehicle.
Adams had surgery for stab wounds but the 6-foot-7 345-pound lineman expects to recover by training camp in July.

1. Radiation poisoning from steam and hot water discharge at all normal Nuclear Reactors

Earthquakes are getting larger in amplitude as the months go by.
Gdr.org's main goals is bringing truth on an issue that cannot be stopped even with warnings of death, financial ruin, even threats of torture cannot stop with its many scientist, political players, inside management from nuclear reactors, test scientist from Raytheon test labs to radiation experts, whistle blowers, Official LA Fire Department earth quake preparedness public division and people like you and me.
The truth regarding a few serious issues that if not dealt with soon, may kill millions IN FIRST FEW DAYS AND YEARS OF a slow CENSERS AND RADIATION ILLNESS AND DEFORMITIES in the days of the pending earth quakes and highly potential MASS NUCLEAR MELTDOWNS.
First, nuclear reactors are killing thousands of American babies a years. Check any hospital near a reactor, looking for holes in heart death, damaged or no spines, etc and you'll find death caused by nuclear cooling systems. "The Steam and cooling water is slightly radioactive, but it disburses in the air and into the oceans" TVA Nuclear reactor operation manual 1993'. TVA Tennessee reactors on the borders of Tennessee, Georgia and N Alabama feed the cooling waters into the Guntersville Dam and this is practiced in other areas as well. An unhealthy approached to safety and an accumulation of radiation in the drinking waters and irrigation waters for the corners of the 3 states. WOW!
Second, Nuclear Waste which has still not found a home, but rather in some cases washed down into farm lands from large foods, leakage etc. See Mississippi floods, France leakage, etc. This is known to many who rather not talk about the unsafe measures of the Nuclear Regulatory agency and those that now govern them. It has been proven that these waste products do then grow into the food and ever so slightly, that in a normal field test of the food, most would not detect it, but as it accumulates in the food and or your body. At that point, the doctors' offices fill with more and more cancer patients in every state and at time, in other countries we ship to and or they ship to us. WOW.
Third and the worst at present. Pending Nuclear Melt downs from large earth quakes and nuclear reactors that are built on fault lines which are now extremely unsafe during heavy earth quakes "We expect an 8.6 to a 9.2 earth quake to last more than a minute and we won't be able to help the public for 6 months to a year". LA Fire Department Earth Quake Preparedness public meetings.
Earthquake Melt Downs
We are in need to re educate issues on reactors and their safety with officials that can be proven to be lying to the public. " I was the management for a Nuclear reactor post reactivation of a restoration on a 20 year old reactor and even though my reports and others showed that the reactors were no longer save, the public relations showed that they were. I cannot go on the record, or I will loose my retirement, and I worry about threats" .Mr XXXXX

The dilemma in short citations:
1. Radiation poisoning from steam and hot water discharge at all Nuclear Reactors.
This fact is virtually unknown by most people. But in the NRC and the plans to build reactors, it states that small amounts of radiation are prevalent in the exhaust of the cooling systems. Furthermore, they state that it is considered safe because it is diluted into the oceans and air. Unfortunately the "hot shoots", hot water discharge does not always reach the oceans first, but rather it can accumulate in pools or is dammed up. Many dams lie in the path of these reactors and it is no surprise that hundreds, if not thousands, of children suffer deformities or even die at birth each year near or down river of Reactors. That is not to mention the many cases of cancers contracted near or down wind from the reactors. This fact is from BWR reactors, those that do not have direct contact with cooling water to the core, but does cause the water to be slightly radioactive. PWR reactors do have direct contact with the cooling water and the level of radiation should never have been accepted. With PWR reactor the problem of current contamination is greatly amplified.
NOTE: We do not need to shut all reactors down, just find ways deactivate harmful radiation.
The spent fuel from nuclear reactors is piling up at reactor sites
This spent fuel (waste) takes an average of 200 to 20,000 years ( half-life) to return to a safe state. At each reactor, the stock piles possess various threats;
A. Stock piling of Waste. Currently the design of the reactors has a life span of 40 years and contamination holding bays to allow for the stock piling of waste build up to 5 to ten years. These holding periods were figured years ago and now with very few final dump sites to safely store the waste, it has become a big problem. The holding bays are filling up and if not dealt with soon, will cause the closure of many reactors;
B. Flooded and washed down stream or spread into the air.With some holding bays in the form of large pits and/or poorly designed waste chambers, a current problem of these sites is being flooded and washed down stream or spread into the air. I.e. during the huge floods we experienced in the past few years, some of the stock piles were washed down stream. In some cases it washes into the ocean, in other cases it washes into dams or into the farmlands. In scientific research, radiation has been found to grow into the plants and our food chain. Also with some of the flooded waste washing into dams, it mixes with the agriculture water as well as the drinking supply for man and animal.
3. No safe places to store massive amounts of spent radiation.
With congress' continued attempts to find safe places to finally store these massive amounts of spent radiation, and the guarantees to store it are in place, one would think the matter is closed. We have all had a problem with a guarantee one time or another. What will happen when massive changes in the earth occur? Or the transport of waste is threatened by weather, accident or terrorist activity? Also, when the ever-growing holding tanks of tens of thousands of gallons of pending waste fall refuge to a disaster or begin to leak in the water supplies.
The threat of meltdowns.
Scientist, prophets and many religions are predicting mass earthquakes. With that we have the possibility of mass melt downs if that happens. Many engineers and nuclear specialists feel that reactors will survive such catastrophes and if it gets too bad they can pull the cores, but with a time limit of actually shutting down a reactor and the panic effect of catastrophes, that safeguard is very limited. Although fail safes are in place to automatically shut down or render the reactors safe, a direct hit from an earthquake, catastrophe or under regulated countries may prove the fail safes unable to act in time. Also to note, an earthquake happens with out notice. It does not take a very creative mind to see the possibilities of what could happen to the earth and it's inhabitants if we get more than one melt down in a given time. e.g. Chernobyl and old reactors. Or an Earthquake or Volcano causes damage to storage units or a Reactor its self.
Medical waste.
The cost to safely handle and store radioactive waste is high. And leaves hazards in it path.
Nuclear manufactures, atomic bombs, nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs.
Of the many avenues of nuclear supply. i.e. Plutonium for reactors, for bombs, medical, etc. And the effects on Humans and Animals. NOTE: We do need to stop nuclear warfare and find new ways to tell each other what to do.
Gamma and other harmful space related Radiations.
Radiation in space travel, Space related Accidents and medium to high levels of Gamma radiation on Airlines.

I am having problems with the power on my Venue. Sometimes the power cuts out (light goes off and no sound) and I have to wiggle the jack that comes in
from my planet waves cable from my mandolin. Recently I have had issues with the power cutting out completely when I press the boost button to take a
lead break. It takes a few tries of pressing the tuner button to get power back on. Seem to have the same issue whether I use the AC power adaptor or a
fresh 9v battery. It's like there is a loose connection in the wiring or contacts... I wondered about using some electrical contact spray. Anyone else had similar problems?
I've had the Venue for about 2 or 3 years-got it quite soon after they came on the market. Haven't used it a ton, maybe a total of 40 or 50 times. I am an
amateur player who plays out at jams either through an acoustic amp or through a board with either an acoustic Breedlove mandolin that has a Baggs pickup
or an Eastwood Mandocaster electric.
Anyone have any ideas of something I might try before I figure out where and how to return for repair?

I don't understand what you are looking for. I'm guessing it more than simply how to use a scale?
Isn't it about time?Anyone interested in posting "search" results here; I know there are a number of instructional attempts out there. Heck, I've even got a feeble attempt or 2 floating around.Post them up here and then maybe one of the Pro's could shake it all out into a nice little concise Sticky?Be nice to have a quick link to give to the ever increasing valued newb.

here's why volume to weight never works.the scoop, shake, scrape level, in BCHG flour is 160-165g per cup, every time i notice myself weighing it.i've done the same with el-cheapo AP and gotten 130-150i imagine some full body flours can weigh upwards of 170ghow can you nail a 'specific conversion' of volume when your constant, is constantly a variable?
Sorry if I am late to the party. Wth are you talking about Bob?
I like the explanation on the King Arthur Flour web site. Of all the expositions of baker's percentages that I found when I was trying to figure it out, I thought the King Arthur site was the most clear.http://www.kingarthurflour.com/professional/bakers-percentage.html
Isn't it about time?
Based on the discussion here, it appears that the answer to this question is "No".

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 24, 2012) – The 2012 Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Volleyball Series will begin with the Florida Open, which will be held May 25-27. The prize purse, originally set at $75,000, has been raised to $100,000 for the event.
The series will consist of seven events in various locations throughout 2012. The events will be produced by IMG and sanctioned by USA Volleyball.
On the men's side, two-time indoor Olympian John Hyden (Sherman Oaks, Calif.) will team with Sean Scott (Redondo Beach, Calif.) to form the top-ranked team heading into the Open.
This duo, who became a team in 2009, dominated the 2011 Pro Beach Series, winning the Manhattan Beach Open, Miami Beach Open and the Milwaukee Shootout.
The No. 2-seeded team of Bradley Keenan (Santa Ana, Calif.) and John Mayer (Culver City, Calif.) will also be a strong contender. Keenan began his beach volleyball career in 2006 with Mayer before switching to Hyden for almost two years. Keenan reunited with Mayer for the 2012 season and the pair has already played in two events on the FIVB World Tour.
Mayer began his beach career in 2003 and was named the AVP Most Improved Player in 2009.
For the women, Lauren Fendrick (Redondo Beach, Calif.) and Brooke Hanson (Ventura, Calif.) maintain the No. 1 seed. The duo won the Miami Beach Open in last year's Series.
Fendrick and Hanson are currently the third-ranked U.S. team on the FIVB World Tour and have enough points to qualify as alternates for the U.S. Olympic Team.
The other big name is Nicole Branagh (Torrance, Calif.), who finished fifth at the 2008 Beijing Olympics with partner Elaine Youngs. The Minnesota Golden Gopher has garnered many awards in her career including AVP Best Offensive Player, AVP Most Valuable Player in 2009, and AVP Rookie of the Year in 2005.
Branagh's partner, Tyra Turner (Fort Myers Beach, Florida), will travel just about two hours to return to the city where she first began her pro beach volleyball career in 2003. By teaming with the Olympic veteran, the 35-year-old who had her first child last year hopes to improve her previous best 17th place finish in the Pro Beach Series.
The team of Jenny Kropp (Hawthorne, Calif.) and Whitney Pavlik (Laguna Hills, Calif.) will also look to finish well in Fort Lauderdale after winning last year's Manhattan Beach Open.
Kropp started playing on the beach in 2007 after playing indoor volleyball at the University of Nebraska and then in Puerto Rico for two years. Pavlik was named AVP Rookie of the Year when she emerged on the sandy scene in 2008 and has only improved.
The Florida Open will take place next to the Sheraton Hotel Fort Lauderdale. The address is 1140 Seabreeze Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316. Admission is free to the public.
Each tournament will be broadcast nationally on NBC Sports Network.

Atcherson Livery on E. Gay St., early 1900s
The Columbus Dispatch - May 18, 2012 04:43 PM
On this site today: If you head east along Gay Street from the Residence Inn, it was between the inn and the parking lot at the corner of Gay and Third.
This photo taken around the turn of the century shows the F.W. Atcherson livery stable at 56-62 E. Gay St. in downtown Columbus. Signs read "hacks, coupes, baggage, livery, automobiles." The smaller building, at lower right, is the office of veterinarians Leist and Brandewie. Stairs at the lower left led to more veterinarians -- Hillock and Hillock.
Note "F.W. ATCHERSON" in large letters on the top of the building. This was both home and business to Fred Wayland Atcherson (1856-1950) , a prominent Columbus citizen.
Atcherson came to the city in 1875. He and his father were both managers in the Columbus Street Railway Co. They opened a livery stable downtown where horses were boarded and could be hired out.
He also owned and operated the first taxi cab company in Columbus.
In addition, Atcherson was a Franklin County Commissioner, elected just after WWI. He was involved in numerous real estate developments and at one time was part owner of the Seneca Hotel at the corner of E. Broad and Grant. Upon his death at age 94, he was owner of the Normandie Hotel on Long Street, which he had operated prior to his retirement.
Atcherson was one of the founding members of the old Ohio Club (the forerunner to the Athletic Club) and a member of Rotary Club, Trinity Episcopal Church and a 32nd-degree Mason.

The New Threat Landscape
There's a new threat landscape and it's you! So, what does that mean? According to the latest reports from data breach experts (namely the Verizon Business Data Breach Investigations Report), attackers are no longer spending as much time directly attacking servers and data. One of the most common methods of access today is for attackers to target employees and their systems to gain a foothold into the network.
This means that you are more important than ever to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the systems that you and your company rely on each day. What can you do? Here are some things to keep in mind as the new front-line defenders of information security:
- E-mail is not secure by default. If you need to exchange confidential information, ask the other party if they have a secure or encrypted e-mail mechanism. E-Mail is typically transmitted across the Internet in plain-text, which makes it vulnerable to eaves-dropping by many parties along the way. If you need to send confidential or private information at work and the other party does not have a secure mail gateway, speak with your Helpdesk about possible alternatives. There may already be an enterprise-wide solution in place that you can use. For sending confidential and private information at home you may have to investigate an encrypted e-mail provider, or consider simply calling the party you need to share information with. With some apps in the various marketplaces today you can easily encrypt both your voice calls and text messages.
- Any pond with fish will eventually be Phished. The days of e-mails that contain viruses or malicious links from unknowns are far from behind us. Several of the largest data breaches this year have happened because of an infected e-mail sent to a handful of employees. However prescient (and frightening) these attacks account for only a small number of data breaches today. The same principal is still being applied in ever-more versatile ways, however. Attackers have started moving their phishing scams, malicious links, viruses, and spam to social networks to keep up with the times. Be wary of strange (especially "viral") links that show up on Facebook or Twitter, as these are the latest ponds to be phished. These links can lead to viruses or infected pages which can, in turn, infect your machine and even grant attackers access into your company's networks.
- Smart Phone viruses are a growing trend. Mobile phones now only carry the moniker of "phone" for the sake of tradition. They are just as much (if not more) a computer as the desktops that we used a decade ago. No matter what your phone of choice (iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, et cetera), there are most likely attackers trying to write malicious code for it or (on some platforms) sneak malicious apps into the app marketplace. It is probably worth researching some Anti-Virus and firewall solutions for your mobile device platform of choice. This is another among many good reasons to consider e-mail insecure. The infancy of smart phone operating systems makes it easier for attackers and harder for anti-virus and anti-malware makers, which makes your mobile device an easy point of entry for an attacker looking to gain access to confidential company data, or your own private information.

Intelius Chief Privacy Officer's LinkedIn Tech Talk
In his talk, Jim revamped the section on regulation, attempting to deconstruct privacy framing into spaces, players, and consequences. In his words, "the space defines whether we're engaged in a public, private, or shared experience with players of varying power disparity where consequences can be assessed."
On Wednesday, Jim participated in a panel at pii2011 Venture Forum on Social Sharing and the Data-Driven Economy. The panel was hosted by AllThingsD's Kara Swisher. Jim was joined by David Glazer, director of engineering for Google+; Roger McNamee of Elevation Partners; and Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures (video).
Stay tuned for Jim's talk at the Strata Conference in March on how we might better think about data-use, its benefits and consequences. Thanks for your insights, Jim!
Company Food Drive: Competition for a Great Cause
It's a beloved tradition. Each year, Intelius employees embrace the holidays by collecting cash and food donations for local charities. During the two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, employees in teams of 15 compete to collect the most cash and food for charity. Each team chooses a leader and creative team name like "Hunger-Busters" or "Can-tributors".
As we
near the conclusion of the 2011 food drive, our combined efforts are evident. To
date, employees have filled over 200 crates of food items and donated over
$5,000. Moreover, the amount given will be doubled by Intelius via its match
We urge corporations and individuals to give back in whichever capacity they are able, whether by funding a program, hosting a food drive, or volunteering at a food bank.
What is your company doing to make a difference during the holidays?

The Accidental Chief Privacy Officer
Earlier this week, Intelius Chief Privacy Officer Jim Adler spoke at O'Reilly's Strata Conference. His talk, The Accidental Chief Privacy Officer (CPO), discussed how the industrial privacy professional is evolving from a compliance enforcer to a product innovator. Here are the slides and interview with O'Reilly's Alex Howard (@digiphile):
Jim Adler interviewed at Strata NY 2011
The key takeaway from the talk (see summary slide) is that the privacy pro is becoming a key evangelist for responsible innovation within fast-moving, high technology organizations. To be successful, four lessons:
- Innovation is a team sport. Communication is key. So talk and (more importantly) listen to your toughest critics, both inside and outside your organization. They'll better understand your perspective and you'll often get great ideas.
- Build a confluence of influence. Good decisions come from every corner of the business, early in the product cycle. Find the members of any team that are inventive, collaborative, and capable of creating the Reality Distortion Field (used so effectively by Steve Jobs) that's so vital to disruptive innovation.
- Be the happy warrior. Innovation, by definition, changes the status quo and makes some people uncomfortable. Engage with them in a constructive, respectful way inline with Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement.
- Find
clarity in the confusion. Use math,
data, and history to find the clarity within the confusion. Privacy issues
are especially difficult. As Jeff Jarvis points out in his new book, Public
Parts, even defining privacy is a journey through an Escher
maze. Jeff has a great, well referenced chapter on What Is
Privacy? that illustrates the perennial struggle we all have
navigating the privacy maze.
The good news is that the privacy labyrinth can be traversed with sufficient situational assessment, data analysis, and historical perspective. Then, to remix metaphors, you can be that excited child in the room of manure who finds that elusive pony.

Data Feast, Privacy Famine: What Is a Healthy Data Diet?
Earlier this month, Intelius' Chief Privacy Officer & General Manager of Data Systems spoke at the Wolfram Data Summit
on what we in the data privacy community might learn from a century's
history of food policy. Here's his abstract and presentation:
Data is the new medium of social communication and is forcing a healthy debate to define public/private boundaries, fair access, and appropriate use. Like food, social communication (and the data that drives it) is a necessity for humanity's survival. This talk will discuss the key ingredients to avoid the empty calories.

Intelius Employees Give Back
There's no denying that it's difficult economic climate out
there. Here at Intelius, we are binding together more than ever to give back to
our community. It's a sad reality that nonprofits are facing decreased support
in a time of increased need.
In addition to financial contributions, we make a difference by volunteering our time as well. Throughout the year we have several opportunities to volunteer at local food banks and homeless shelters. Check out our efforts on the Intelius Flickr page: YouthCare Shelter Cleanup, Movies in the Park for Charity, and the competitive Thanksgiving Food Drive.
Examples of nonprofits which fit into Intelius' core areas of support are Eastside Domestic Violence Program, Hopelink, Kindering, Bellevue LifeSpring and Boys and Girls Club of Bellevue.
Why volunteer? Research shows that those who volunteer live longer, healthier lives. In addition, volunteering:
- Reduces stress and improves mental health
- Allows you to explore personal interests and passions
- Helps broaden personal and professional skills
- Provides experience for your resume
- Fosters new relationships and friendships

Specifically, Sharron McPherson was chosen due to her exceptional leadership track record and commitment to solving women's issues through Government Policy and Financing. Emily was selected for her pioneering spirit in breaking gender stereotypes in Science and Math and innovative efforts to improving public health in Kenya.
On Friday, August
26, SU held its closing ceremony at the Mountain View Computer Museum.
This ceremony gave student teams from the Graduate Studies Program the opportunity to display their projects. Here's an update from Sharon and Emily on the incredible things they've accomplished during the rigorous 10 weeks.
Sharon McPherson:
"The first is a concentrated solar power solution for the developed world. On Energy Team 2, we focused on Africa and the idea was to create a dispatchable, affordable renewable energy solution for the 1.8 million people that don't have access to electricity. Once that project was underway, I wanted to explore energy solutions for the DEVELOPED world with a project called Play Energy. Play Energy is an energy efficiency company that aims to help consumers measure and control energy consumption by utilizing next generation energy consoles that include a real time, augmented reality game that links decreased consumption to gaming points."
Emily Kuria:
"Our team is interested in developing 21st century skills in tween (4-12) and teen (13+) girls by leveraging emerging technologies to expose them to diverse opportunities and positive experiences that facilitate growth and participation. We not only want to educate girls on the skills necessary to survive and succeed in this new world, but we also want to create positive role models in social media that will inspire them. Presently, we have an established partnership with GIGAPIX Studios that have won more than 7 Emmys, and we pitched Google last week. YouTube Google are looking to redefine the way we watch TV, and are moving towards creating long-form content for viewers online. "
congratulates Sharon and Emily for their accomplishments! Read about why they were chosen here.
Intelius CEO Naveen Jain with 2011 Scholars
The Case for Cost-Sensitive and Easy-To-Interpret Models in Industrial Record Linkage
Andrew Borthwick, Ph.D. is Principal Scientist and Director of Data Research with Intelius. Recently, Borthwick presented at the "9th International Workshop on Quality in
Databases", a workshop which was held in conjunction with the "Very
Large Databases (VLDB) 2011" conference in Seattle.
Borthwick collaborated with two other scientific minds on The Case for Cost-Sensitive and Easy-To-Interpret Models in Industrial Record Linkage. Co-authors were Sheng Chen, Ph.D., and Vitor Carvalho, Ph.D., Intelius' Principal Scientist & Data Engineering Manager.
Record Linkage (RL) is the task of identifying two or more records referring to the same entity (e.g., a person, a company, etc.). RL systems have traditionally handled all input record types in the same way. In an industrial setting, however, business imperatives (such as privacy constraints, government regulation, etc.) often force RL systems to operate with extremely high levels of false positive/negative error rates. For instance, false positive errors can be life threatening when identifying medical records, while false negative errors on criminal records can lead to serious legal issues. In this paper we introduce RL models based on "Cost Sensitive Alternating Decision Trees" (ADTree), an algorithm that uniquely combines boosting and decision trees algorithms to create shorter and easier-to-interpret linking rules. These models present a two-fold advantage when compared to traditional RL approaches. First, they can be naturally trained to operate at industrial precision/recall operating points. Second, the shorter output rules are so clear that it can effectively explain its decisions to non-technical users via score aggregation or visualization. Experiments show that the proposed models significantly outperformed other baselines on the desired industrial operating points, and the improved understanding of the model's decisions led to faster debugging and feature development cycles. We then describe how we deployed the model to a commercial RL system with several billion personal records covering nearly the entire U.S. population as input, and obtained a 6:1 ratio of input records to output profiles, with an estimated 99.6%/86.2% precision/recall trade-off. This system was then deployed in a commercial e-commerce website, as well as to the sub-domain of linking criminal records, obtaining an impressive 99.7%/82.9% precision/recall overall trade-off.

Nyms, Pseudonyms, or Anonyms? All of the Above.
Posted by Jim Adler, Chief Privacy Officer at Intelius
There's been a lot of recent debate around the use of online names sparked by the Google+ real names policy. The stark absolutism of this debate baffles me, as if we had to choose between them. It's a false choice. We should have them all. As we map human social customs online, nuance and context rule. Inflexible policies and binary choices are a cop-out. Life's complicated and more interesting that way. As I recently tweeted in a privchat:
There are legit use-cases for pseudonyms so they shouldn't be banned. But they are certainly unnatural for mainstream use. #privchat
This got me thinking about how many real names are typical for each person?
I did a quick look across the Intelius public-records corpus of a few hundred
million people and counted the number of real names per person. The results are
what you might expect:
The vast majority of people, 83%, have one full-name [Just to be clear, Sarah Jessica Parker may also go by Sarah Jessica Broderick. Those would count as two real names.] A significant minority, 11%, have two names. I imagine that most of the people with two names are married women who are recently married or simultaneously maintain their maiden and married names (typical of professional women). It's a little surprising that 6% have more than two names. I wonder how many people in this set have criminal records?
So far, the nymwars debate has largely been framed around the 17% that have more than one name. But there are strong pro and con arguments for nyms, pseudonyms, and anonyms. What, the totality of human social engagement can't be pigeonholed into a single use-case? Hmm, Surprising.
Whether offline or online, the vast majority of us build trusted relationships and reputation around our real name. Real names are easy and natural. I use my real name on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. One of Facebook's best strategic moves was encouraging use of real names. Generally, real names encourage real interactions and weakens the barrier between offline and online experiences. However, requiring real names is an 83% solution that's fueling a Google+ backlash from the other 17%.
There's a host of reasons for pseudonyms, many of which have been cataloged during the recent nymwars. An example of a pseudonym is Twitter's PogoWasRight, which is used persistently and has established respect within the privacy community. Pseudonyms are not new as Samuel Clemens proved more than 130 years ago.
The challenge with pseudonyms is that they are tough to manage. I know several professional women that simultaneously maintain two legal names. They are in a perpetual state of multiple account management—"which name did I use for this account again?" I founded a startup several years ago that tried to crack this problem. It's a bear.
As for anonyms, they are distinct from pseudonyms. The intent with pseudonyms is to build a long-lived identity that's separate from our real identity. In stark contrast are anonyms (e.g., fymiqcxw) which are throw-away identities that in nearly all cases (except political dissent) have nefarious intent. Online anonyms too often encourage what psychologists call deindividuation. Nothing empowers a psychopath more than an audience and a mask.
The key takeaway is—whether nym, pseudonym, or anonym—trust, accountability, empathy, and civility are built around knowing whom you're dealing with. As we move through this continuum, we move away from "real" relationships. If that's your intent, fine. The nymwars debate is larger than the real name policies of any social network. It is a further evolutionary move toward mapping our social norms online. Sure, it's messy. Most human endeavors are.

Consider adopting a senior pet
November is Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month. I am a little biased, as I just adore older pets. The last two dogs I adopted were above the age of seven, one was nine years old at the time (still alive and kicking at 14!) and my latest one is 14 years old. Surprisingly, our latest addition is more playful than my other two; he tires quickly, but is a blast to have around.
One comment I get quite often is "they will only be around for the next couple of years." First, I am aware of that. Second, it doesn't make their life any less meaningful than a puppy's or a kitten's life. Don't get me wrong, puppies and kittens are really cute and are enjoyable, but so are the older pets. One big difference is that the puppies and kittens are also a lot of work that, personally, I don't have time for. If someone wants to adopt a puppy or a kitten, that is wonderful – they all are in need of homes, too – they just don't fit my lifestyle.
The purpose of this letter is to bring awareness of all the older dogs and cats that are currently in animal shelters and rescue groups. They are still very much overlooked and are the first to be euthanized across the United States. There is an over abundance of healthy senior pets looking for a special home to cherish them for the rest of their lives. In recent years, many older pets find themselves in shelters just because their owners can no longer afford to care for them. That doesn't make them bad pets.
Here are a few great points about bringing home these older pets. They generally adjust pretty well as they already know basic household rules. They like to share quiet moments, are most likely house-trained, and usually do not chew or scratch everything in sight. The old adage – "what you see is what you get" – fits perfect. From the start, you'll know important things like their full-grown size, personality, and grooming requirements. From my experiences, this list could go on.
Most importantly, I want to encourage everyone, when the times comes to add that special friend to your family, give the older dogs and cats consideration, you just may be surprised at what you find!

If you have an older dog or cat, it is more than likely that you will start to feel lumps and bumps on its body that were not there before. While benign fatty tumors are common, other lumps may indicate lymphoma in your dog or cat, one of the most common types of cancers.
Lymphoma is a cancer derived from white blood cells called lymphocytes, according to the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine. Lymphoma may be related to infections such as feline leukemia virus (FeLV) in cats. In dogs, the cause of this cancer is less clear, but veterinarians believe that viruses, bacteria, chemical exposure and genetics may all play a role.
Lymphoma can affect many different body systems and the most common clinical signs of lymphoma in dogs are firm, enlarged lymph nodes. On your dog, lymph nodes are located in the neck area, in the front creases of each front leg, the groin and at the back of the knee. Cats more often experience lymphoma in the internal organs and will often be lethargic or experience weight loss, diarrhea, increased urination or fever, according to VCA Animal Hospitals.
Since lymphoma is a cancer of the blood cells and is present in the lymph nodes, removing a single lump or lymph node will not usually eliminate this cancer. Most often chemotherapy is the preferred treatment to prolong the life of a pet with lymphoma.
If your vet suspects lymphoma in your pet they will often recommend bloodwork, x-rays and samples of the affected areas to make a diagnosis and determine the best treatment plan.

Longbow Wins Contract to Upgrade Korean Apache Radar Systems
The Lockheed Martin/Northrop Grumman joint venture Longbow obtained a $51 million foreign military sales (FMS) contract to provide upgraded radar systems for the Korean military's fleet of AH-A64E Apache attack helicopters.
Under the contract, Longbow will provide six of its Fire Control Radar (FCR) systems, component spares and in-country support of the Republic of Korea. The FCRs are designed to increase situational awareness for the Apache pilots.
Production of the new systems is scheduled through 2016 at Lockheed's Ocala and Orlando, Fla., facilities, and Northrop's Baltimore facility.

I like Wesley nn Wes a lot. Wally is pretty cute, too. You have a lot of other good choices on your list. But, honestly, you may still be able to use Theo if it means that much to you. Your friends may not mind if you explain it to them. They might not even be planning on calling their Theodore Theo. He could be called Teddy.
June 17th, 2013 10:28 PM #14
Theodore is a great name, but my feeling is that it's going to become quite popular in the near future. Maybe you dodged a bullet? I say this, because my sister stole one of my fav names... but it's not an issue, because the name shot up in popularity to the point that now I'd never use it... If you still choose to use Theodore, just find another nickname. However, the name on your list that called out to me is Cormac. It's a very interesting, unique, and slightly quirky name. You could call him Mac, which is a deliciously vintage nn. Moreover, Cormac will probably never be in the top 50...Emiliana Pari 郑煜曈 '14

It is odd because all of the local pizza places seem to use these types of stackable aluminum things. Very easy to use and clean and the top just sits on top, it doesn't "seal", like tupperware generally does... I am not sure you want when fermenting dough. I would guess it needs plenty of oxygen to do what it does(?).

Kid Koala
The coincidence of Koala signing to his heroes' label, despite the fact that it was based thousands of miles away, and home mostly to instrumental trip-hop and computer funk producers, was less a coincidence than it would at first appear. San managed to arrange an "inadvertent" car ride with the group when their label's Stealth tour passed through Montreal in 1996, making sure his mixtape, Scratchappyland, was in the car stereo well beforehand. Excerpts from that tape doubled as Kid Koala's identically titled solo debut when Ninja Tune, duly impressed, released it as a 10" in July 1997. Koala also appeared on the second volume of the Bomb's Return of the DJ compilation with his track "Static's Waltz," another excerpt from his mixtape. Subsequent Ninja Tune releases included Kid Koala remixes of DJ Food's "Scratch Yer Head" and (fittingly) Coldcut's classic "Beats and Pieces."
From there, Koala became a major member of the Ninja Tune roster, as he released several warmly received projects. His first full-length, the bewildering yet seamless Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (2000), was quickly regarded a turntablism classic. After collaborations with Dan the Automator, Gorillaz, and Deltron 3030, he released a follow-up, Some of My Best Friends Are DJ's (2003). Live from the Short Attention Span Audio Theater (2005) was a brief CD/DVD set, quickly trailed by the mixtape-style Your Mom's Favorite DJ (2006). Something of a diversion, Phon-O-Victo (2007) found Koala teaming with experimental turntablist Martin Tétreault. The subdued, piano-driven Space Cadet (2011) accompanied his graphic novel of the same title, inspired by the birth of his daughter. 12 Bit Blues (2012), perfectly titled, was made with an SP-1200 sampler and a multi-track recorder. ~ Sean Cooper & Andy Kellman

Research: 2012 BI and Information Management Trends
Our InformationWeek 2012 Business Intelligence, Analytics and Information Management Survey shows the old practice of following the money, using lagging financial indicators to guide a company's decisions, giving way to the forward-looking approach of following the data. Organizations are gathering, managing and analyzing not only more information but more types of information, all with the idea of using advanced predictive and statistical analytics to improve internal operations, get closer to customers, sell and market products more effectively across physical and digital commerce channels, and outperform the competition.
Other top-line trends: Slightly fewer respondents have standardized on one or a few BI/analytics products deployed throughout the company vs. our previous survey. Just 8% give all employees access to BI/analytics data. And the number of respondents citing data-quality problems as a barrier to adopting BI/analytics products enterprisewide fell nine points, to 46%. (R3551111)
Survey Name: InformationWeek 2012 Business Intelligence, Analytics and Information Management Survey
Survey Date: October 2011
Region: North America
Number of Respondents: 542
Purpose: To examine adoption trends and strategies around business intelligence, analytics and information management.

The fight over the pipelines has become a proxy battle between two diametrically opposed worldviews.through their communities pose an unacceptable environmental risk. But for others, the battle is about something far larger. They believe that wreaking so much environmental destruction to continue expanding supplies of planet-warming fossil fuels is fundamentally wrong, noting that the tar sands project has razed hundreds of square miles of boreal forest, led to the creation of dozens of toxic tailings ponds, and released vast quantities of CO2. And they are convinced that choking off the tar sands pipelines is a way of stopping, or at least hampering, the development of the Alberta tar sands themselves.
The pipeline company's lobbyist was a deputy campaign manager for Hillary Clinton's presidential run.of Keystone XL. "They are out of their element," he said. Nor has the state of Nebraska exercised oversight, said Hansen. "In this void, TransCanada took the short cut through some of the most environmentally sensitive land you could build a pipeline through," he said. "It's very fragile. The water is close to the surface and in the spring, water would cover some of the pipeline. To anybody who knows anything about the Sand Hills, the thought of running a toxic pipeline through your water supply makes no sense."
'We don't have the option of choosing zero environmental problems,' says one energy expert.dollars to the tribes. Geraldine Thomas Flurer, a spokesman for the Yinka Dene Alliance near Vanderhoof, British Columbia, said no amount of money could replace the hunting and fishing that sustains the remote towns, should a pipeline rupture. "Moose hunting, salmon fishing, sturgeon, this is something that we do every day, this is who we are," she said. "The pipeline would cross nearly a thousand rivers, lakes and streams, and one leak could destroy what we have, who we are." Those rivers include the Fraser and the Skeena, both highly productive salmon fisheries.
