Journal Journal: Ryan Ryttie / kesuki - Rest in peace 2
What I do know, is that I knew Ryan Ryttie, from slashdot. Today, I saw a post from his sister that he passed away (Link to Facebook is public). No, I do not know the circumstances.
I know he stopped using his original username here. Ryan was a friend, sure he had is daemons. but he was a friendly and authentic person.
I post this in a journal, for others that may still wander here and may have known him.
May Ryan rest in peace.
[Edit: Ryan was known as kesuki on slashdot]

You'll like... A great wind range and a board that will adjust to suit any style of sailor
You won't like... The slightly drawn out turns when you're on a wave it can be tricky to tighten them quickly if you need to.
Why not try... The Kode 94 if you're looking for only 1 board. Its ability to change characteristics when you ask it brings a smile to your face every time!
The Kode feels very stable from the beach. With a lot of volume packed into the depth of the board, especially around the tail, the ride feels more directional than others. Getting onto the plane was easy and the straight line speed was quick. Up wind the Kode pointed high and off the wind the Starboard seemed to accelerate faster than most. Driving off the fin in a straight line was where we enjoyed this board the most.
The Kode controls well in bump and jump conditions. Popping the board was a little harder but once in the air the control was great, floating forever followed by smooth landings often planing away with ease. With the two strap option at the back the Kode has incredible speed and feels very directionally stable, then with the one back strap your weight can be bought over the board to give much more maneuverability. Essential if you want to venture into the waves. The Kode carves well and is very sure of its line. Slightly sharper rails than last year mixed with a more pin tail offer a good combination for getting speed on a wave then smooth drawn out turns bring you back up the face and off to the next section. Downsizing to a slightly smaller fin, freestyle is a lot of fun. The domed deck gets you sliding well and the added depth to the tail this year gives you a bit of time to complete a move as you slow down.
As a good freewave board should do, the Kode offers good performance over a whole array of disciplines. Plenty of control and speed mixed with good maneuverability.
These new 2010 Kodes are simply another step up from the 2009 range. Tiesda You
The production fin is best for blasting, try a smaller fin for freestyle and a good wave fin when wave sailing. Tiesda You

In addition to other programmatic activities, the Division of Communicable Disease Control (DCDC) is engaged in many research projects that contribute to local, state, national and international knowledge of infectious diseases. The following research highlights demonstrate the role of science in CDPH programs.
Rapid detection of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR TB): The Microbial Diseases Laboratory (MDL) has developed a pyrosequencing method for rapid detection of mutations associated with resistance to injectable drugs and fluoroquinolones. For multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, extensive drug resistance is defined by resistance to a fluoroquinolone drug as well as one or more of the injectable drugs such as amikacin, kanamycin, or capreomycin. Resistance to these drugs can be detected quickly if the tuberculosis bacteria have specific known mutations in the gyrA gene (for fluoroquinolones), or the rrs gene (for injectable drugs). Pyro-sequencing enables detection of these mutations rapidly from an acid-fast smear-positive sputum sediment or from a culture. Culture-based confirmation of susceptibility or resistance is always recommended, but the pyrosequencing provides useful preliminary results to guide therapy during the period of several weeks when tuberculosis cultures are growing and culture-based drug susceptibility testing is being performed. Improved patient outcomes and a reduction in the spread of drug-resistant disease are expected to result from the application of this technology.
Tuberculosis screening among persons with HIV infection: The Tuberculosis Control Branch (TBCB) is investigating the policies, procedures, and actual practices of tuberculosis (TB) screening among HIV-infected clients at two Ryan White Part III-funded clinics as part of a study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The objective of the study is to identify practices that enhance and/or serve as barriers to prevention and treatment of TB infection in this population. Findings will be shared with national, state, and local partners to inform improved TB screening and treatment practice.
Treatment practices and costs of Multi Drug-Resistant TB (MDR-TB) in the United States: The Tuberculosis Control Branch is participating in a national study of multi drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) to provide detailed observational data on the diagnosis, treatment and management practices, outcomes, and costs of MDR and XDR TB patients in the United States. Data from this study will be used for future clinical trials of MDR/XDR TB treatment regimens and case management procedures, and for financial planning for TB program budgets.
Tuberculosis deaths: Almost 10 percent of persons with TB will die. TBCB is participating in a national study to determine the proportion of deaths that are attributable to TB and to identify areas of intervention to prevent TB deaths. Study findings will be used to create the evidence-basis for public health interventions aimed at reducing TB deaths in the United States.
Enhanced laboratory capacity to detect Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are emerging as a significant public health threat worldwide and are becoming increasingly more prevalent as a source of morbidity and mortality in the healthcare setting. Carbapenemases represent a diverse group of enzymes that hydrolyze most β-lactam antibiotics and are often associated with extensively-drug resistant bacteria. The detection of CPE is critical because of the limited therapeutic options associated with these infections and the importance of avoiding treatment failures through the empiric selection of antibiotics. The Microbial Diseases Laboratory (MDL) has recently implemented a molecular diagnostic testing service for detecting the most prevalent carbapenemase, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase or KPC. In addition to KPC, MDL plans to develop molecular diagnostic tests to screen CPE for additional carbapenemase genes including the newly-described New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1). It is hoped that the availability of these new tests will assist in monitoring antimicrobial resistance trends and the potential of CPE expansion in the healthcare setting.
Influenza and 2009 H1N1: The influenza A 2009 H1N1 virus was first identified in California before spreading worldwide. In order to better characterize the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of the outbreak, including identifying populations at highest risk, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) initiated surveillance for all severely ill and fatal cases with laboratory confirmed H1N1. To date, data from over 3,500 cases have been reviewed and analyzed. In the post-pandemic phase, CDPH is working with local health departments (LHDs) to monitor the H1N1 virus as well as other influenza viruses through review of intensive care unit (ICU) and fatal cases under age 65 years reportable. This work has resulted in several publications in nationally peer reviewed medical journals. Some of these publications have informed influenza vaccination recommendations for high risk groups such as pregnant women and adults with obesity.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) surveillance and the H1N1 vaccine: The Immunization (IZ) and Communicable Disease Emergency Response (CDER) Branches of CDPH initiated surveillance for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) in the fall of 2009 due to concerns about the association of GBS and H1N1 vaccine. Reports of GBS were received from physicians and hospital discharge data to ensure that all cases were captured. A total of 704 suspected GBS cases were reported from 2009 to 2011. Preliminary data from this project found similar rates of GBS in patients who received seasonal flu vaccine as compared to H1N1 vaccine.
The California Encephalitis Project (CEP) was initiated in 1998 to better understand human encephalitis, including risk factors, clinical features, causative agents, outcomes and epidemiologic features. A number of important public health issues have arisen from this project since 1998. Highlights from the past year include:
Rabies: Detailed laboratory and clinical evaluation of a human rabies case who ultimately survived. Manuscripts describing this case are in preparation.
Encephalitis outcomes: A retrospective cohort study focusing on patients with encephalitis referred to CEP from Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland (CHRCO) from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2009. Asian ethnicity, abnormal neuroimaging, and Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) were found to be significantly associated with outcomes at discharge. This study is unique in identification of ethnicity as an independent predictor of pediatric encephalitis outcomes. Additional variables examined in this study may be useful ancillary tools to aid in predicting outcomes among children hospitalized with encephalitis. An abstract was submitted and accepted to IDSA's 49th Annual Meeting.
Basal ganglia/thalamic lesions: CEP and CDER conducted a follow-up study of a subset of cases with Basal ganglia/thalamic lesions. Six percent (183) of CEP cases reported T/BG neuroimaging abnormalities; with an etiology identified in 138 cases (75 percent) including 67 infectious cases (37 percent), 29 post-infectious/acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) cases (16 percent), and 42 non-infectious cases (23 percent). Identified infectious agents included 20 cases (30 percent) of respiratory virus, 9 cases (13 percent) of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, 7 cases (10 percent) of arbovirus, and 7 cases (10 percent) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Identified non-infectious etiologies included 13 cases (31 percent) of ischemic events and 8 cases (19 percent) of neoplasm. Infectious and post-infectious cases were younger compared with non-infectious cases. Infectious etiologies had a higher median cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) white blood cell count compared with non-infectious etiologies. T/BG neuroimaging characteristics were associated with distinct etiologies. T/BG abnormalities in encephalitis patients can aid in identifying the underlying etiology with patient age, CSF findings, and neuroimaging characteristics helping to narrow the etiological scope and guide testing.
West Nile Virus (WNV) and organ transplants: In late fall of 2010, a case of West Nile Virus (WNV) encephalitis was identified in an organ transplant patient. The identification of this case led to an investigation that identified additional WNV cases. Transmission of WNV via transfusion and organ transplant has been reported since 2002. However, organ donors are not routinely screened (unlike blood) for WNV. Because of the identification of this cluster, the transplant community is re-evaluating the need to universally screen organ donors. An abstract describing this WNV cluster was submitted to the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and accepted for presentation.
Syphilis: In conjunction with the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Regional Laboratory, the Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) Control Branch conducted an evaluation of a novel chemiluminescence immunoassay to screen for syphilis. The evaluation described demographic and clinical factors associated with discordant syphilis serology results. The results of this evaluation will be published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases later this year.
Chlamydia and Gonorrhea: The STD Control Branch is conducting research to evaluate interventions to improve adherence to clinical practice guidelines for re-testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea. In addition to implementing clinical-level systems to reduce missed opportunities for re-testing, client options for text and email message reminders and home collection test kits will be evaluated. This research project is funded by a grant from the Office of Population Affairs: http://www.intouch4health.org/
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine Impact: The STD Control Branch, in collaboration with the California Emerging Infections Program (CEIP), is evaluating the population-based impact of the HPV vaccines through surveillance of pre-cancerous cervical disease in Alameda County. To monitor changes in HPV types associated with disease, CDC performs molecular testing on tissue specimens submitted by the 5 sentinel sites.
This research project is part of the CDC-funded Emerging Infections Program: http://ceip.us/cd_hpv.htm

Andy Souwer Out - Christopher Mena in K-1 MAX Final 8
- Written by Dave Walsh
A bit of a streak of bad luck struck K-1, who has split the K-1 World MAX Final 8 into two upcoming events, this weekend as both Andy Souwer and Enriko Kehl were forced to pull out from the December 28th event in Foshan, China. Souwer, who was ready to go, suffered from a bout of appendicitis late last week which forced him into the hospital where they had to perform a routine but emergency surgical procedure to remove the troubled organ. Souwer is resting comfortably and healing up but will not be ready in time for either event, so he has had to pull out. Enriko Kehl fought Buakaw Banchamek last weekend and received a rather nasty cut on his forehead which will not be healed up in time for December 28th.
So the fight between Andy Souwer and Enriko Kehl will obviously not happen, but that doesn't mean that all hope is lost. Oh no. K-1 has been prepared in case of such an emergency and was quick to do some shuffling, as Shane Campbell will now be fighting on the December 28th event against the winner of the Reserve bout from September, Christopher Mena. That left Maximo Suarez without an opponent, which, yes, you figured it out, his new opponent is Enriko Kehl.
So that means that the awesome fight between Shane Campbell and Maximo Suarez won't happen, but who knows, there is always next round, right?

German blue ram fry tank and how to buy rams
Hey, im thinking of getting myself german blue ram to replace my 2 apisto macmasteri (had three as you can see from an older topic but the big fine male dies last night:() but im thinking of getting german blue ram instead and try to breed them.
To the questions:
How should i buy rams? 1 male and a few females or a group and put unwanted fish down? Local fishstores arn't really keen to take fish back.
If i want to raise fry would a storage box 14.6"x 9.5"x6.7" work as a tank for fry until they are large enough to survive with the parents? or maybe it's even large enough to keep them until sale size.
few things, try selling the macmasteri, i'd buy them if you were near me
The german blues breed in pairs, either try to buy a pair, watch for them staying together in tank in fish store for a few mins, or buy like 5-6 and wait for them to form a pair... return the ones that don't pair up
That should work for raising fry, just keep it clean, but you will need a growout tank to get them to selling size... maybe a 20g

after they are big enough they will go with the parents in the 30 gallon for now, maybe ill get a 15 gallon for them later but thats the biggest tank i can house with my other 2 tanks.
I would sell the macmasteri to you if it wasn't half way around the earth :D ill try to find someone to take them.

The tank is not going to hold just the rams, there are kardinals and tetras aswell. + i want to maximize the survivability so removing them from the parents are the best bet. i have also read they are the worst parents of all cichlids from all the breeding that has happened.
First - please dont put any fish down. I will pay shipping and you can send the others to me just for the sake of the fish. Get 8 rams, put them in a 40gal breeder with 10-12 terricota pots. You will have more pairs than you want this way but you will also have a great diversity. If you are just recreationally breeding, get 4 and you will get a pair out of them easy then sell the rest. They protect fry fine, its the tetra that will eat you babies once free swimming. Question - if you cant get rid of adults, why are you wanting a pair to breed?

I want to start breeding to learn from it but i don't want to breed in a tank with only 1 pair of cichlids the tank looks to plain then. and what does breeding have to do with not being able to get rid of adults you don't sell the fish when they are adults they are teenagers when you sell them to the store and such. but as i said getting rid of adult fish isn't impossible but can be hard, i got one store that will gladly take any fish but they don't keep very healthy fish since it's a large chain store without any fish intrested person working in that store, only fur lovers in that store, but ill try to give to to stores or other aquarium keepers, the macmasteri can be quite easy to get rid of since it's a rarer fish around here.
Might aswell give the leftover rams you don't want away to someone who wants them rather than killing them, i don't know how some people can think so easily over killing their pets.
I only euthanize my fish when they are unhealably sick or damaged which thankfully only happened once in my life, even though it's "just a fish" it's still a life taken without a good reason.
I have had to put down a few, but only for the fact that the fish was dying.
I don't think the OP planned to put the rams down, but just didn't know what he could do with the apistos...
If you are in the US, me or sandz would happily take them.
And in my exp typical store bought rams are not very good parents, mine eat the wigglers every time... might just be because they are with other fish, but apistos seem to be better parents from what ive seen
I firmly believe, if you dont have a good place to rehome fry, or a want to take care of them all, we have a moral issue. That being said, I just try to speak on behalf of what I think is right and whne someone I dont know asks for advice with some red flags, I just want to ask the ethics questions.
Hardy this is what im refrencing:
"How should i buy rams? 1 male and a few females or a group and put unwanted fish down?"
You will not get a great yeild from your rams in a community tank. The other tank mates will eat the free swimming fry. You will need an airstone and methene blue in a seperate tank to hatch the batch artificially and then further would need that tank with a 100% water change after hatch to then grow the fry. You may thing of getting either a product like liquifry or hatching baby brine shrimp to feed the fry through their first days.

Once upon a time, at the end of significant and sustained global military commitments, the White House sought to reduce a defense budget that had been awarded steady increases year after year. Ordered to make cuts by a White House-Congress budget summit agreement, the Pentagon undertook a series of reviews to adjust the U.S. military's role in a transformed international environment. The National Military Strategy determined: "The real threat that we now face is the threat of the unknown, the uncertain. The threat is instability and being unprepared to handle a crisis or war that no one predicted or expected." The secretary of defense further warned that the United States still faced "[a] world that is full of instability, where there are threats and challenges to a stable world."
Despite its newfound concern over uncertainty, instability, and the unknown, the Pentagon's updated military strategy allowed for a 25 percent reduction in defense spending over a five-year period. With the federal budget deficit having increased more than 50 percent over the preceding half decade, certain members of Congress sought even larger defense cuts of 40 percent over five years. During a contentious hearing, one of those congressional members -- the House Budget Committee chairman -- warned that "The days of big spending, free-wheeling defense budgets are clearly over." To which the secretary of defense fired back: "We've already cut the living daylights out of the defense budget, Mr. Chairman."
Sound familiar? Readers with long memories will recognize the year and the players: 1991, and the fight was between Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney and House Budget Committee Chairman Leon Panetta over the first post-Cold War defense budget. Cheney won, and Pentagon spending was reduced by 25 percent over five years.

How often have you been upset by bigger birds chasing away goldfinches, juncos or chickadees from your bird feeders? These so called bully birds that include crows, blue jays, grackles, starlings, and sometimes, even mourning doves, are aggressive and intimidating to smaller songbirds.
If this is a problem at your house, there are a few steps you can take to reduce or eliminate the bully birds from eating all the food:
Control With Feeder Styling: Bully birds are almost always larger than those being bullied, and by enclosing the feeders in large mesh hardware cloth or chicken wire, only the small birds can enter the feeding area. These caged feeders, that are also sold commercially, will keep squirrels out, as well.
Feeders with the weighted perches will keep out the bigger birds whose own weight lowers a bar over the food slots. And tube feeders with the perches above the port holes require the birds to lean down to feed, which will eliminate the bullies.
Starlings can be discouraged from eating suet, one of their favorite foods, by hanging the suet feeder under a domed squirrel baffle. Starling dont like going up and under for food. There is also a special starling proof suet feeder that can only be approached by birds from underneath, which starlings dont like, either.
Selective Feeding: You can get rid of many bully birds if you dont feed them the kinds of foods they like, such as wild bird seed mixes containing millet, milo and cracked corn. Instead offer finch foods, such as niger (thistle) and safflower seeds, a cardinal favorite.
-- George H. Harrison


text: WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW Second season doesn't deliver. At all. I was hoping for more great mindfights between Kaiji and his opponents, and only the Chinchiro part was about that, the rest was mindless fillers of Kaiji waiting, Kaiji shouting and Kaiji crying. It really should have been a 13 episode anime, because it needlessly stretches out everything. Story: The story wasn't too terrible, I enjoyed seeing how Kaiji will defeat Ohtsuki, how will he get the money for his debts and how will he work out the way to win at the Bog. However comparing this to the first season it's pretty lacking, and... See full review

Report: Man drew sword, ignored officer commands before shooting
DA says officers not criminally liable in Rockefeller Lane incident
MADISON, Wis. - New information from the district attorney's office said the Madison man killed last month wore multiple layers of leather, carried a sword, hatchet and knife and ignored numerous officer commands before he was fatally shot by police.
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne also said Tuesday afternoon that the three officers who shot 43-year-old Brent Brozek outside his home on Rockefeller Lane May 17 after a daylong standoff are not criminally liable.
According to the district attorney's statement, an officer saw Brozek putting on multiple layers of clothing including a long, leather motorcycle riding suit, and another leather jacket just prior to leaving the house to where police were stationed. He was also seen putting on a belt which had a sword handle on it, Ozanne said.
The report said Brozek made a "roar-like" noise just before gunshots were heard. Ozanne said witnesses heard police tell Brozek to put down his weapon and get down multiple times.
"Mr. Brozek is seen on squad video bringing the sheath of the sword up as he moves toward the rear of the marked squad car parked adjacent to him," Ozanne said. "Responding to that threat with deadly force is permitted under the law."
The Madison Police Department previously named the officers who fired as Ryan Finnegan, Ryan Orvis and Scott Templeton.
The DA's office said witness and officer statements and squad video were all consistent.
"The determination by this office that no criminal liability is possible is clearly warranted based on the consistent and extensive evidence that has been assembled since the shooting," the statement said.
The officers involved have been on administrative leave since the shooting,
Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain said the officers will remain on leave pending an internal review at the department.

The following statement is from The Wilderness Society regarding a late-breaking House budget request by Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rob Bishop to use $50 million in taxpayer
While President Obama's Fiscal Year 2017 budget proposal boosts spending in certain areas and the 2016 appropriations bill included some much needed increases for natural resources and conservation programs, much work remains to be done.
The legislation will support efforts to make droughts like the one the Yakima Basin is experiencing this year less of a hardship for both farms and fish.
The Wilderness Society is hosting a free tour of Silurian Valley and environs along the Old Spanish Trail, including Afton Canyon and Zzyzx on Saturday, April 11.
Outdoor recreation generates $21.6 billion a year in spending on trips and equipment in Washington State, a new study prepared for the Legislature shows.
And Washingtonians love to play outside, spending an average of 56 days a year in some form of outdoor recreation.

I find that the pins on the ICSP header (on the right) are useful for grabbing an extra +5/Gnd combination if I need to power other devices (or for hooking up a multimeter or logic analyzer).
Below is a modified photo of the Uno Rev3 board, with annotations about the extra meanings of some pins (not printed on the board):Earlier boards are similar except that they don't have the ICSP header for programming the USB interface chip, and the extra SDA/SCL sockets for use with I2C.

You are here
First, I need to apologize for my January blogging hiatus. Bringing you extras, sneak peeks at houses and gardens, and new finds from around town is one my favorite parts of this job. But last month, I had to put the fun stuff on hold to hunker down and get Spring/Summer stories written and edited--plus, we had photo shoots to finish up, which keep us out of the office a bit. I should be back in business now, though, and I have a ton of fun tidbits and sneak peeks to show you, so stay tuned!
First up, we're working with three Southern barbecue superstars on a knockout food story for the next issue: Aaron Siegel of Home Team Barbecue, Jimmy Hagood of Food for the Southern Soul, and Billy Quinn of JB's Smokeshack. With their help, we'll share all kinds of secrets for making delicious barbecue at home, complete with tried-and-true tips for choosing your cuts of meat, saucing them right, and plenty of locally inspired recipes to get you started (Firefly vodka barbecue glaze, anyone?).
In the meantime, here's a first look at that photo shoot (we picked the coldest day of the week, at around 43 degrees on the water--good for the meat and bug surveillance, a little on the chilly side for us!). Check out Peter Frank Edwards shooting our pros and their delicious 'cue contributions against the backdrop of Boone Hall Plantation's Cotton Dock.
(photos by Liz Frierson and Julie Wood)
That's Aaron Siegel saucing his ribs with a Firefly-based glaze he's dreamed up just for us.
Jimmy Hagood cooked up his Lowcountry vinegar sauce on-site, a sweet and spicy concoction made with cane syrup, paprika, chili powder, and local Meyer lemons. Get the recipe in the upcoming issue!
That's Billy Quinn helping us prep his traditional "beer can chicken" (flavored with a cranberry-apple juice blend) for shots of the leg quarters.
Hagood chopping meat from a smoked pork shoulder. I was able to make close to 30 sandwiches for the office from that single cut of meat.
From left: Aaron Siegel, Billy Quinn, and Jimmy Hagood against the weathered Cotton Dock.
Frank brushes the chicken with a little oil to brighten the skin. Food shoots tend to be styling-heavy, with all sorts of tricks to get food photo-ready, but these meats were a snap. A little oil here and there, and we were all set.
Associate art director Julie Wood, intern Liz Frierson, and I truck all sorts of of serving odds and ends to shoots like these. Plates, serving trays, glasses, ramekins, dish towels, and always an iron and ironing board for fixing fabrics. We do try to keep things simple though—good-looking food doesn't need a lot of pattern or color in the backdrop.
Sketches of the proposed layout to keep us on track, plus examples of similar meat photographs to remind us of what looks good and what doesn't. (Example: We noticed ribs tend to look best against plain white plates and platters, while chicken looked great on wood or tin.)
The temperature dropped throughout the day, so that's me, using heat from the coals to stay warm.

This is a new baseball season thread started right after the Cardinals beat the Rangers to win the World Series.
The first post-season October 2011 trading news can start here.
The most noted moves in my neck of the woods were Padres management and Red Sox management heading for the Chicago Cubs.
(Epstein, Hoyer, and McLeod) They were all Red Sox before and my conspiracy-theory mind thinks all the maneuvering was done to orchestrate the Adrian Gonzalez trade and take him away from my Padres.
Certainly other late-season moves like Lance Berkman's made an even bigger difference, as I don't know why the Red Sox fell apart.
Now will the Phillies keep their dream-team rotation going into 2012? I was sure that would've helped them clinch it last season.
Texas? I didn't see them coming again. I figured on them being the AL West leaders. Only the Angels can challenge them for that. But it's not really a competitive conference. However, now they are the 2-time-in-a-row World Series losers. God that's gotta be awful for the Texans. However, I'd guess that if they don't fall apart, they might turn up as the AL West 2012 champions, too - unless the Angels can go the distance again.

The Small Thing!
Pros: Great Sound Quality , Great Build , simple but Efficient UI , not too small-not too bulky ,Equalizer presents are top notch!
Cons: you can't make playlists with it, battery life ain't the best on the market
it's about two weeks that i've bought it and i'm quiet satisfied with it ... first i wanted to buy the J3 but it's 3.3 AMOLED screen and good video playing was not needed!!
it's low 16GB (14.4GB user accessible) built in memory won't bother you as long as a shiny 32GB MicroSD is inserted into the slot!!
in spite of it's landscape orientation you can totally handle it with one hand!!
battery lasts two days on medium usage.
it's resistive touch-screen is a little out-dated!
buttons are small and placed right next to each other ... but with enough practice you can press them even when the player is in your pocket!
Audio quality is simply perfect!!!
you won't regret buying it as long as what you need is a good sound quality!

Yemen: Nearly a quarter of the population is severely food insecure, warns OCHA
17 April, 2012
Hide Main Image:
Show Image
Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator Catherine Bragg today called on the international community to help millions of people in Yemen facing a worsening humanitarian crisis, as she ended a two-day visit to Sana'a.
The World Food Programme (WFP) and UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) have recently warned that food insecurity is at alarming levels in Yemen because of conflict, displacement and sharp hikes in food prices in the country. Today, almost 5 million people—one quarter of the population—are unable to produce or buy the food they need. At least 800,000 children are suffering from acute malnutrition.
Nearly half a million people have been displaced due to conflicts in the northern and southern regions of the country, according to the UN Refugee Agency.
"I am very concerned by the acute humanitarian situation in Yemen, despite the recent, positive political developments," said Deputy ERC Bragg. "Millions of vulnerable people need help with health care, clean water and basic sanitation, food and nutrition."
In recent months, WFP has stepped up its support and now feeds some 3.6 million people. In March, UNICEF, the World Health Organization, international NGOs and the Yemeni Government launched a measles-vaccination campaign after the disease affected 3,600 children and claimed over 120 lives.
"I am encouraged to see that the capacity of the humanitarian community in Yemen to respond has been expanded since my last visit," noted Ms. Bragg, who was last in the country in November 2011.
Humanitarian organizations have better access to affected communities in the north, and some donors have recently increased their commitment. However, the funding needed to carry out critical aid work remains low.
So far, the 2012 humanitarian appeal asking for US$447 million for Yemen is only 20 per cent funded. About $360 million is needed to address the growing needs of the food-insecure and conflict-affected communities throughout the country.

Grado GR8 In-Ear Headphones
" I love the full size grado HF2 and older grado's but these do not sound good to my ears. Strident and uneven. These were not lovingly crafted or dialed in. There was no 'man' behind the tuning of these and this is evident in the final product. I'd love to see grado come out with a smooth yet dynamic sounding iem similar to the HF2 but am not holding my breath, especially when I've found..." --thelostMIDrange

Robert Trevino
Academy for Teacher Excellence hosts 'Pathways to Success' conference Aug. 18-19
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(Aug. 17, 2009)--The UTSA Academy for Teacher Excellence (ATE) will host a two-day conference, "Pathways to Success," from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 18-19 in the Durango Building Southwest Room (1.124) at the UTSA Downtown Campus.
The conference is for undergraduate students preparing to enter teaching careers in the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math) and bilingual and special education -- all areas in which there are teacher shortages. Participants will learn the latest methods for integrating technology tools for more effective classroom instruction.
At 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 19, keynote speaker Robert Trevino will discuss the importance of teaching in science, technology, engineering and math to prepare future workforces. NASA deputy project manager for extra vehicular activity technology development, Trevino also is a visiting faculty fellow in the NASA Administrator's Fellowship Program of the UTSA College of Engineering's Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Trevino, who calls San Antonio his hometown, has worked on many major space projects over his 20-year NASA career including the space shuttle program, the international space station program, the Hubble space telescope program and the current constellation program.
His main research and development interests are in space suit design and space suit portable life support systems and designing space systems for human and robotic assembly and maintenance. In 2009, Trevino was a member of the team that received a patent and was recognized by the Johnson Space Center for their work on the method apparatus for fabric circuits and antennae.
He earned an M.A. degree in public management from the University of Houston at Clear Lake, an M.S. in space studies from the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks and a B.S. degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. After graduating from UT-Austin, he was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy, served as a naval flight officer and currently is a captain in the U.S. Naval Reserve.
Part of the UTSA College of Education and Human Development, the Academy for Teacher Excellence was established as a hub for school districts, community colleges and UTSA to collaboratively research, design, implement and evaluate educational programs that address emerging statewide and local educational issues associated with a growing diverse student population. A major focus is the implementation of a Title V Hispanic-serving institutions grant to utilize resources in the community to better prepare teachers in classrooms with a diverse student population.
For more information, contact the Academy for Teacher Excellence at (210) 458-3082.

The fact that Anne Hathaway will be playing Selina Kyle, AKA Catwoman, in The Dark Knight Rises is old news. Now, I dig Catwoman as much as the next villain fanatic, and I get that she's sexy as hell, but I mean, really: Haven't we seen enough of her already? The introduction of Bane , on the other hand, (Inception's Thomas Hardy), is more exciting, as are all of the rumors flying around about Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

A man in Little Bay Islands decided to trade in his boat for a much more air-conditioned ride this weekend
Mike Parsons has a passion for salt water and amateur photography, so when he saw a small, grounded iceberg while on a boat ride with his wife, Georgina Parsons, he knew he simply had to mount it.
"I said it kind of looks like a horse or a Sea-Doo," said Parsons.
"My youngest son is at the Calgary Stampede, so I said we should take a picture and send it to him of the Little Bay Islands stampede."
Icebergs breaking up
"Usually the icebergs are big and dangerous, so you don't want to be around them, but they're breaking up and we were looking for a good photo opportunity. I was game for doing some bigger ones, but Georgina didn't feel comfortable with that, so …"
According to Parsons, an iceberg is anything but a smooth ride.
"It was very slippery and very, very cold once I got up on top of it," he said.
"It was very uncomfortable after about five seconds. Georgina was trying to get some good photos, and I was like, 'hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!'"
Although the iceberg was extremely slippery and he had
nothing to hold onto, Parsons' shorts managed to keep him in the saddle.
"My shorts actually stuck to the iceberg so that kind of grounded me to the iceberg and kept me there for a while."
Parsons is no stranger to icebergs.
Growing up in Little Bay Islands, he and his friends used to go out to some of the larger icebergs in the bay and slide down them into the water.
"If you look at some of the icebergs, there are certain ones that you look at them and automatically think, wow that would make a great slide," he said.
"I like to think I have a bit better sense now — but not all the time."
Record year for bergs
Parsons says this has been a record year for icebergs near Little Bay Islands and he hopes to straddle a few more before summer ends.
"The first day we came there were 40 odd," he said.
"There's still a good 10 or 15 icebergs in the bay and they're constantly breaking up. We're out in the boat every day looking for photo opportunities, so no doubt I'll be on another one before the icebergs leave the bay."
His wife notes that in spite of their photo-ops, they are both truly mindful of the safety hazards icebergs can pose.
"Both of us are all about safety and not going near the larger ones that might topple," she said.
"I think it's really important that people know about iceberg safety."
Although they now work in Ontario, the Parsons come back to Little Bay Islands every year for the summer and hope to retire in the community.

By M. Scott Morris and Michaela Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – The Junior Auxiliary celebrated one of its own on Friday night, naming Charlotte Westbrook as Citizen of the Year during the 50th Charity Ball.
Westbrook served as chairwoman of the first Charity Ball, which took place in 1964.
"I am overwhelmed," said Westbrook, who was escorted through the elegantly decorated BancorpSouth Arena to the stage by her husband, Jim Westbrook, and 2013 charity ball chairwoman Michelle Taylor. "I can tell you everything I've ever done I've done with sheer joy and the help of a lot of people."
Westbrook said she was as surprised by the presence of her family who traveled in secret from Nashville, Birmingham, Connecticut and Nicaragua as she was the award.
"I feel humbled," she said.
Julie Gibens, JA president, praised Westbrook's dedication to improving life for Tupelo residents.
"When many of us are asked what makes Tupelo such a successful community, a common response is because we can offer what a larger city can offer but on a smaller scale," Gibens said during her introduction of Westbrook. "It is in part because of our honoree that we are able to do that."
Westbrook was a member of the team that created the GumTree Arts Festival. She has also served as president and board member of the GumTree Museum of Art.
"With a number of other citizens Charlotte helped to found the Tupelo Community Theatre as well as the Tupelo Symphony," Jane Riley said. "She continues to be an avid supporter of the museum, the symphony and the theater."
A native of Urania, La., she is an alumna of Louisiana State University. She taught school in Baton Rouge after graduation, then moved to Tupelo with her husband in 1961.
That's the same year she joined First United Methodist Church, where she's been chairwoman of the board of trustees, a Meals on Wheels coordinator and a Helping Hands Clothes Closet leader.
In addition, she was chairwoman for the United Methodist Women, an organization that supports missions in the surrounding community and around the world.
"She has a genuine passion for helping others," said Grace Clark, the 2012 Citizen of the Year. "Her deep faith and strong sense of right and wrong give her confidence to act on her convictions."
A former Cub Scout den leader and den leader trainer, Westbrook has three children, Wes, Justin and Bennett, and seven grandchildren.
She's worked to improve Tupelo Public Schools over the years. Along with her husband, she was a founding member of the Association for Excellence in Education, which has raised more than $1 million to support teachers and students in Tupelo.
"Charlotte has deeply impacted those around her," Nancy Diffee said. "I cannot think of any one person more deserving."
Henry C. Brevard Jr., the 1989 Citizen of the Year, has known Westbrook since she came to Tupelo. He's been a witness to Westbrook's constant spirit of giving.
"Charlotte has a dogged determination in the pursuit of good causes," he said, "which gets things done and leaves Tupelo citizens in her debt."

Actual cases and convictions for voter fraud have been rare. Voter registration fraud is more common.
But then again, why deal with reality when you can blame the voter fraud phantom.
POTUS place was designed so people could have some friendly banter back and forth, the forum doesnt need an instigator/agitator, not every thread or column needs to be a shot aimed at someone or the opposite side...not everyone on here is confrontational and we dont need to be choosing up sides on every single issue...let the threads take their natural course to either thrive or wither on their content or merit
You dont get it do you....I am no one on this board...do not change your posts to try and please me....BUT I do see objectively how you interact with other people.....
You come out with some good talking points, and then in the same exact thread you come across as a condescending idiot....
Talk straight with people in a civil tone and people may talk back straight with you, you try and be clever and you come across as just the opposite....dont alter your posts, own up to them, if you make a mistake or misquote someone admit it...You dont have to be well versed in all subjects on POTUS, but when you make comments on the ones that you are weak at it shows .....
I am not your friend nor am I your enemy, sometimes I think you try to hard to put everyone on here in one category or another...its okay if we are all aquaintances...very few people on here I will hang out with,but even fewer that I will intentionally avoid

Haven't posted here in awhile. Work is keeping me busy. As is getting the kernel running on SH-2A on the MS7206SE01 board.
On the sh front, things have been progressing nicely with the new clock and timer frameworks. The timer stuff is still in need of being extended to more transparently deal with multiple timer channels, but this can wait until the timesource driver stuff on l-k sorts itself out. No use redoing the timer stuff twice..
On another note, the cpufreq driver still needs to be reworked for the clock framework as well. This will still take a bit of doing, but in the end it should leave us with a single driver capable of dynamic scaling on every CPU subtype that hooks in to the clock framework (this will go on the TODO list for now).
With sh64, things have also been pretty quiet. Ran in to some fairly consistent slab corruption that seems to have only popped up in recent kernels, suppose its time to dig out the redzoning for non-BYTES_PER_WORD minaligned architectures patch and get slab debugging working again. Unfortunately the UW SCSI drives I was using that managed to trigger this on my Cayman both ended up killing themselves. Lets see how far we get with onboard IDE.. judging by the schematics, at least PIO was wired right, and should mostly work (DMA on the other hand..). Some of the GPIO configuration in the SuperIO is probably still off (since much of that was borrowed from microdev), so it seems there will be more than one thing to debug..
And just to show how often I actually log in to this thing, I seem to have had this following paragraph started, which was amusingly retained (from some time in 2003):
More uClibc hacking today and the last couple of days. Started working on the shared loader backend for sh64, which is now at the point where most of the work is done, but now there's just a lot of debugging and testing left. At least some good has come out of it so far, it turned out that the R_SH_IMM_MEDLOW16 relocation was broken in multiple ways in glibc, so I ended up fixing that while writing up the relocation handling code for uClibc. Regardless, the uClibc stuff is in pretty good shape now, so the next logical step is to start tinkering with buildroot and friends, though that will still have to wait till after some more debugging time.
The ironic thing is that years later, the sh64 ldso stuff needs to be fixed again due to some ABI changes, though I have so far been successfully putting it off. ldso is vindictive ;-)

Family: Laridae, Gulls and Terns view all from this family
Description ADULT SUMMER Has pale gray back and upper wing, except for white-spotted black wingtips and pale trailing edge. Plumage, including tail, is otherwise white. Bill is yellow with dark subterminal band, and iris and legs are yellow. ADULT WINTER Similar, but head and neck are streaked brown and leg and bill colors are duller. JUVENILE Has mottled gray and brown plumage, palest on head; note also, pinkish legs and dark bill and eye. First-winter plumage (acquired in fall) is similar, but back is gray, bill is pink but dark-tipped, iris is pale, and tail has dark terminal band. By second winter, plumage approaches that of winter adult, but retains faint, narrow dark band on tail.
Dimensions Length: 18-20" (46-51 cm)
Habitat Widespread and generally common across much of central and southern North America, although range changes seasonally: breeds colonially beside lakes in Canada and northern U.S.; out_side breeding season, northern populations move south and in winter found along coasts, and near freshwater and food sources inland.
Observation Tips Easy to see on most coasts, including populated beaches and seafronts, outside breeding season. Some individuals actively seek out people for food and are a common sight in littered parking lots and at garbage heaps.
Range Southeast, Great Lakes, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Northwest, Plains, California, Eastern Canada, Alaska, New England, Texas, Western Canada, Florida, Mid-Atlantic
Voice Utters a mewing kyow call, higher-pitched than that of larger, similar gulls.
Discussion Our most familiar gull. Often bold and approachable, and an opportunistic feeder, quick to capitalize on manmade sources of food and seasonal natural bounties. Takes 2 years to reach adult plumage. Sexes are similar.

Zoltan and I set up our robots and cameras and while taking our second set of panoramas this day at Rice at Jamail Plaza, discovered Heather, a philosophy student, who was very happy to be included in this Gigapan, which has to be seen in Google Earth via the link.
Behind Heather is: James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy Rice University
James A. Baker is currently a senior partner in the law firm of Baker Botts as well as Honorary Chairman of the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice university

Thanks for the question. Inside of Baker Hall (named after James Baker III, Secretary of State during President George H.W. Bush's administration) is the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, which I always refer to as Baker Institute and actually say Baker Institue instead of Baker Hall. Basically, Baker Institute is a 'Think Tank' with some of the best minds involved in puplic policy. In this panorama, to your left is a rather imposing building whose name is McNair Hall ( www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id= 9653) and iside of it is the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management, but since I am not that familiar with that school as I am with Baker, I call it McNair Hall. The look of confidence that you see on Heather's face is not unlike any of the students that pass through Baker Institute. They all leave Rice prepared for what comes their way in their future.
What is the purpose of Baker Institute? Who is or was Baker?

Updated on 29 November 2012
Healthy growth in the bone and joint applications is primarily due to the ageing baby boomer population and escalating incidence of osteoporosis, arthritis, and several other bone and joint traumas, including knee injuries and hip fractures. Growing awareness among people for regenerative medicines and increasing usage of non-autograft products by doctors and medical personnel are also stimulating growth for these products.
Flow Cytometry
Driven by the advent of technically advanced flow cytometers, enhanced fluorescent dyes, integration of multiplexing, imaging and other complementary technologies, the global market for flow cytometry is projected to reach $2.3 billion by 2018.
The global flow cytometry market is highly concentrated with only two major companies dominating the market, including Becton, Dickinson followed by Danaher/Beckman Coulter. Other leading players profiled in the study include Advanced Analytical Technologies, Amnis, Bangs Laboratories, Cytek Development, eBioscience, Life Technologies, Luminex, Merck Millipore and PointCare among others.
Long-term growth in the flow cytometer market would stem from development of next generation, point-of-care, compact systems. In terms of sophistication, newer integrated systems are increasingly incorporating innovative features, functions, and applications. Newer instruments from leading players designed to meet the high productivity requirements of researchers feature sorting rates of up to 70,000 events per second.
Several modern cytometers are equipped with varying fluorescence detectors and lasers, which enable labeling of multiple antibodies. A few recently launched instruments are also capable of taking digital images of individual cells. Despite the rapid growth forecast, lack of awareness is the main drawback for flow cytometers.

Get into the holiday spirit with 'Cool Yule'
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - You can get into the Christmas spirit at the Coeur d'Alene Resort this holiday season with the "Cool Yule" musical.
The musical is being put on by the Coeur d'Alene Summer Theater troupe; their show was so popular last year, they added more shows this year.
"The first act we talk about all the traditions of Christmas that we do without knowing why we do them, like why do we haul out the holly? Why do we put up a tree?"Cool Yule
That's the gist of 'Cool Yule'," Roger Welch said.
"The cast is fabulous, they're wonderful, the voices from heaven, they really are, they're just terrific," actress Ellen Travolta said.
Travolta, a big backer of the Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre troupe, encourages families to see the show.
"It's a great place to bring the family, the lights, the rooms, the restaurants and this wonderful show, everybody is funny, attractive," Travolta smiled.
And she's right, too. The set of four veterans are the best of friends and that bond shines onstage.
"We really are friends, we've known each other for years and years, we used to work together a long time ago and we reunited last year for a show at the resort and yeah, there's never a lack of conversation between us," Mark Cotter said.
You'll learn a lot about Christmas, hear your favorite songs, and maybe add a new favorite to your playlist, an original song to this play called "Coeur d'Alene Christmas."
The easiest way to get tickets is to go online to http://www.cdasummertheatre.com/. Tickets are $25 a piece.

JACKSON – Democrats handed Republican Gov. Haley Barbour two decisive setbacks Thursday in the state Senate, where his proposals traditionally have carried the day.
The Senate voted to eliminate the hospital tax that Barbour has supported to cover an ongoing shortfall in the Division of Medicaid.
The chamber also passed a measure that would end the requirement that children under age 16 undergo a "face-to-face" meeting to be recertified for Medicaid.
The bill now goes to the House.
The Democrats' measures were added to a massive bill dealing with the Division of Medicaid, which provides health care coverage for the elderly, disabled and disadvantaged.
After the changes were made, the bill passed 30-17 with many Republicans voting against it. It needed 29 to pass.
Republicans might try to remove the Democratic provisions soon. Both Democratic proposals had Republican support, but the amendment to block the enactment of a hospital tax had more.
Thursday's vote was a reversal for the Senate. During a special session last summer, the Senate approved the hospital tax, but the House refused to go along with it.
The House wanted to make up at least some of the $90 million Medicaid shortfall with a cigarette tax. The issue was left unresolved after the state received one-time federal funds to cover the deficit.
On Thursday, Senate leaders tried to phase in the hospital tax over three years, with $30 million the first year, then $60 million and finally $90 million. But Sen. David Baria, D-Bay St. Louis, successfully offered a proposal that would prevent the hospital tax from being assessed if federal stimulus money was available.
Because the state is receiving federal stimulus money for Medicaid, Baria's amendment would eliminate the need for the tax.
Barbour has on several occasions, including Thursday, argued that the face-to face requirement reduces Medicaid fraud. He cited a recent federal report that says Medicaid fraud in Mississippi is among the lowest in the nation.
"Requiring face-to-face meetings to check a recipient's eligibility has reduced fraud and improved the efficiency of Mississippi's Medicaid program," Barbour said.
But opponents of the face-to-face requirement, including a majority of the House, argued it is inefficient, requires an additional $80 million in administrative costs and is burdensome for recipients.

I picked up Galvatron and Acid Storm today. (I consider Acid Storm to be somewhat EU, and somewhat canon. Kinda like Momaw Nadon, where he appeared, but someone else made up the name and backstory.)
For anyone who has Galvatron, what the hell do you do with his back? The instructions sucked badly (would it kill them to put words in there?), and the photo on the package was mis-transformed. I'm not sure if I got it right.

Interview: Designer Storm Thorgerson Reflects on Pink Floyd and 30 Years of Landmark Album Art
Visionary designer Storm Thorgerson looks back at 30 years of landmark album art.
"Guitar World?" What kind of magazine is that?" The questioner is Storm Thorgerson. He doesn't play guitar. In fact, he claims he doesn't even know "one end of the guitar from another."
So what's he doing here? As one of the three partners in Hipgnosis, once the preeminent and most visionary album art design firm in the world, Thorgerson has put his stamp on rock and roll history via photographs, illustrations and ambitious packaging for some of rock's landmark albums. Works by Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Yes, Wishbone Ash, John McLaughlin, Genesis and many others bear the stamp of Thorgerson and Hipgnosis, which disbanded in 1983.
Thorgerson has continued to work as an in demand album designer—two of his most recent clients have been Dream Theater and Phish — and video director. That he remains so highly sought-after is hardly surprising. Any working musician who once sorted seeds from weed in the gatefold of one of his classic creations would probably be thrilled to see Thorgerson have his ethereal way with an album of theirs.
"He's awesome," says John Petrucci of Dream Theater, for whom Thorgerson designed the cover of Falling Into Infinity. "We've always wanted to work with him. In the past we would actually sketch our album covers ourselves, then get together with the people who would execute them. This time around, Storm insisted on doing the whole thing, and we just deferred. When you're working with someone of that caliber, you can trust his professional instincts."
No band has trusted Thorgerson more during the past 30 years than Pink Floyd, whose relationship with the designer dates back nearly five decades to Cambridge, England, where Thorgerson grew up with Floyd's original band leader Syd Barrett, who was a year behind him in school, and former bassist Roger Waters, who was a year ahead. Thorgerson and Waters played rugby together.
They went their separate ways in college, but everyone wound up in swinging London during the mid Sixties, as rock and roll culture took over the city. Starting with A Saucerful of Secrets in 1968, Thorgerson became Pink Floyd's chief album designer, crafting a series of indelible images—the picture-within-a-picture cover of Ummagumma, the cow of Atom Heart Mother, the prism of Dark Side of the Moon, the Easter Island–style totems of The Division Bell.
Beyond the albums, there were videos and concert films, as well as covers for solo projects by Gilmour and Barrett. With the notable exceptions of The Wall, The Final Cut and a handful of other releases, Thorgerson was responsible for the visual face of Pink Floyd. He'd blanch at any reference to him as the band's fifth member, but in Floyd's extra-musical domain, it was Thorgerson's vision that set the controls for the heart of the sun.
"He has been my friend, my conscience, my therapist and of course my artistic advisor…," Gilmour writes in the foreword of Mind Over Matter: The Images of Pink Floyd (Sanctuary Music Library), a 176-page tour of the incredible graphic world Thorgerson has created for the band. "Storm's ideas are not linked to anyone's ideas of marketing: that they are atmospherically linked to the music is a bonus. I consider what he does to be art."

Q&A: Finding a Job
Questions and answers on finding a job.
By Peter Vogt
December 03, 2012
Peter Vogt, MonsterTrak's Career Coach, answers questions about searching for jobs, networking, career fairs, and more.
College is rapidly drawing to a close, and all the online job searches I've done haven't gone so well. I'm getting my degree in English, but I want to write. Unfortunately, the only real jobs I've had have been in office administration, and I'm tired of applying for clerical positions. I'd like to land a job with a publishing company, but nobody wants to hire unless you've had more experience. How do I get my foot in the door?
It's great that you're using the Internet in your job search. But don't make the mistake of making the Internet your entire job search. Many jobs are never advertised, but are publicized and even filled through word of mouth.
Do whatever you can to start talking to people in your field and getting to know them. Think about joining a professional organization and attending its regular meetings. You'll be able to network with people who work in publishing, and you're more likely to be on their lists when internship and job opportunities come along.
I'm currently a college senior studying computer science and looking for a job. How should I start my job search? I've done a search on Monster and submitted many resumes, but have had no responses for an interview. Any help would be appreciated.
First, be sure to use MonsterTRAK, in addition to Monster. MonsterTRAK (http://www.monstertrak.com) is a part of Monster that features job and internship listings specifically for college students and recent college graduates. (For you to access MonsterTRAK, your college must be a member. Find out at http://www2.monstertrak.com/trak2000/schools/index.html.)
Also, work with a career counselor at your school, and ask him/her to teach you the job search basics.
You can also talk to your computer science professors and ask them where other students — current and previous — have landed jobs with their CS degrees. Consider approach ing these same companies, as well as talking to the CS grads they hired in order to get their advice and suggestions.
I'm having a really difficult time with my job search. I'm graduating from college in two months and have no prospects. Every available job requires some type of experience which I don't have (formally at least). How am I supposed to get experience when nobody will hire me without it? (Internships aren't an option either because I need to earn a salary.)
One thing I want to caution you against is ruling out internships completely. Why? Because some of them DO pay; not all internships require you to work for nothing.
Also, you say you don't have "formal" experience; that implies that you've gained experience "informally." If so, how DID you get that experience? If it's related to the job you're applying for, it doesn't matter if it was "informal" or "formal," or even paid or unpaid.
One solution would be to get some sort of pay-the-bills job to earn money to pay your bills, and then do an unpaid internship to gain experience in your chosen field. This proposition probably isn't your first choice, but with the current job market, it may be an option worth considering.
Need money to pay for college?
Every semester, Fastweb helps thousands of students pay for school by matching them to scholarships, grants and awards for which they actually qualify. Sign up today to get started. You'll find scholarships like the Course Hero's $5,000 Scholarship, and easy to enter scholarships like Niche $2,000 No Essay Scholarship.

The Texas Book Festival is a free two-day event featuring more than 190 of the nation's most accomplished authors with recently published works. Panels and readings at the festival represent every spectrum of literature.
"'Politicas' is a revealing book about the personal and professional lives of pioneering Latinas who have overcome obstacles to achieve success in Texas public office," said Texas Book Festival executive director Heidi Marquez Smith. "By sharing their stories, these Latinas serve as examples and an inspiration to our next generation."
The additional co-authors of the book are Irasema Coronado, Sonia R. Garcia and Valerie Martinez-Ebers. The authors will sign books after the panel discussion. Public officials featured in the book include Judge Mary Roman, former Houston City Councilwoman Graciela Saenz, Texas Sen. Leticia Van de Putte and former Laredo Mayor Betty Flores.
The Texas Book Festival celebrates authors and their contributions to the culture of literacy, ideas and imagination. Founded in 1995 by Laura Bush and a group of interested volunteers, TBF has brought together more than 2,000 authors and more than half a million people from Texas and across the nation. Festival proceeds have funded book collections and literacy and technology programs in public libraries throughout the state and allow the festival to be free to the public. Its year-round programs cultivate an interest in reading by bringing authors and their books to economically disadvantaged students. AT&T is the festival underwriter.
