Blackhawks hope Kane breaks out against Kingsby Shawn P. Roarke / Chicago Blackhawks
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- The Chicago Blackhawks have to be better in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final. Forward Patrick Kane knows the Blackhawks have little chance of being good enough if he doesn't lead the charge.
Kane has been strangely silent in the best-of-7 series against the Los Angeles Kings. He does not have a point and is minus-3. He has seven shots, but only a couple of them have been the type of Grade-A opportunities for which he is famous for producing.
Kane's struggles are just one of the reasons the Blackhawks find themselves in a 2-1 series hole heading into Game 4 on Monday (9 p.m. ET, NBCSN, RDS, TSN). But, he expects himself to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Monday night at Staples Center, he knows, would be a fine time to begin writing a new chapter in this evolving series of Western Conference behemoths. And, he has a plan to do it as well. He laid it out after a brisk off-day practice at the Toyota Sports Center, the practice facility of the Kings.
"Just demand [the puck]," he said. "That's the biggest thing. Demand the puck and when I do get it be confident with it. Those two things will generally lead to better games from myself."
Kane's line has been badly outplayed in the past two games of the series. Kane is a minus-4 in that stretch as the line of Jeff Carter, Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson has gone off for the Kings. Those lines tend to go head-to-head for the majority of the time during a game as it is a matchup with which Kings coach Darryl Sutter has been extremely comfortable throughout this series.
Fortunately, Kane has shown the ability to break out of slumps in stunning fashion.
His six goals in the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs have come in four games. He has the game-winner in three of those four games. The overtime winner in the series clincher against the Minnesota Wild in the second round came after Kane had gone four games without a goal and was a minus-3 in those four games.
Last season in the playoffs, he had goal-scoring droughts which lasted six and seven games, respectively. During Chicago's run to the 2010 Stanley Cup title, Kane did not score in six straight games, bridging the Western Conference Final against the San Jose Sharks and the Stanley Cup Final against the Philadelphia Flyers. He scored in three of the final four games against the Flyers though and scored the goal in overtime of Game 6 which delivered Chicago its title.
"He's got a knack for stepping up in the big times of the big games and score goals on the biggest stages," Chicago forward Patrick Sharp said. "We are not worried about Kane at all."
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville also senses Kane is due for a bit of puck luck. He has seen the dynamic wing win too many games with one sublime act of goal-scoring brilliance to lose the faith now.
"I think [Kane] had a great look both games," Quenneville said. "Right down the barrel, [he] could've given us a two-goal lead both times. He's had some opportunities. He's accustomed to scoring. For guys who are scorers, they get more excited, more confidence and their play can elevate by looking at production.
"Kaner, to me, he's dangerous. Opponents have to keep an eye on him quite a bit. They're concerned with him. He's been a threat, been dangerous. Hasn't had the production to reflect it, but he's definitely had some opportunities."
The Kings have taken Kane out of his comfort zone in two ways. First, they are using the dominance of the Carter line to force to play more defense than the Blackhawks would like to see their most dynamic offensive player have to do. Secondly, they are denying him clean possessions in the attacking zone.
"He's a player you've got to play hard on," said Kings defenseman Jake Muzzin, who has drawn Kane as a matchup regularly in this series. "He wants a nice game where he can do what he wants to do; and if you take that away, that's your best chance. So I know that's what I focus on, is being aware of where he is and what his options are and taking them away. I mean, that's all you can do.
"You have to play hard on that guy, or he'll make you look silly."
Kane understands he is marked man, but he refuses to use that as an excuse for his struggles. It is about adjustments, he says.
"Give them credit, they are playing pretty well," Kane said. "But, I think you kind of take it upon yourself when things aren't going well. I don't really go into a game and say they are doing this and that, so that is why it is affecting my play. It's usually on [you] personally.
"I've been through this a few times before. You kind of know how to get yourself out of it a little bit more than maybe somebody going through it for the first time. Like I said, get the puck, make plays, be confident with it and let my instincts take over."

Jared Kushner has dropped $128 million in cash on a 17-building real estate package in the East Village.
Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump and also publishes the New York Observer, bought the all walk-up portfolio that includes 267 units and 23 stores on Thursday.
One of them is the site of the former Mexican restaurant Diablo Royale Este at 165-167 Ave. A, which brought area noise complaints over its late-night garden dining.
The other buildings include: 129 1st Ave., 143 1st Ave., 191-193 Ave. A, 201 East 2nd, 211 Ave. A, 23 Ave. A, 338-340 E. 11th St., 435 E. 12th St., 500 E. 11th St., 504-508 E. 12th St. and 516-518 E. 13th St.
About 70 percent of the units are at market rents with a portfolio average of more than $2,300 in rent per month, said investment broker Aaron Jungreis, president of Rosewood Realty Group, which handled the transaction.
The institutional fund venture of Westbrook Partners, Normandy Partners and Ben Shaoul of Magnum Real Estate, which also managed the properties, did not have year-end tax issues like those of some private investors who fueled the fast and furious market in late 2012, said Jungreis.
Kushner Co. has an affiliate, Westminster Management, which specializes in Manhattan walk-ups.
Last year, Kushner Cos. bought 11,000 apartments across the country for a total of 20,000 units.

The concept behind this live-action APB: Reloaded trailer is that people are able to assume new identities in the game and shoot guns. So one lady can morph into a schoolgirl. A business guy turns into a thug. And a nun?
Watching this, I have no clue how the people at the end got their stupid hair in the car.
APB is now free-to-play as APB: Reloaded. In its previous version, the online multiplayer game lasted a mere three months, but the reboot registered over 100,000 players earlier this year. It currently has over 850,000 registered players.

While I understand that attractive, Prozac-overdosed models may sell merchandise effectively, you should know that, in reality, NOBODY looks this happy about having to put on an exam gown.
Yours truly,
Ibee Grumpy, M.D.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
It is better than the paper shirt and paper sheet I get to wear.
I like the close up of the pattern, because, really, that's what sells gowns. I also like the one size fits "most" comment.
and no-one want to wear polycotton...
Grumpy, she is not happy about wearing the gown, she is happy that she was let out of accounts receivable for the day to jump into the exciting world of print media modeling. Most anyone would be happy under those conditions. Yes???
If she looks that good she would never consider wearing a gown NOT made by Prada!
I think she is happy because they let her keep her bra on under the gown! I hate those huge gowns and then having to go braless is just horrible for me. it may not seem like a frequent occasion for most but i have a heart issue that means lots of ekgs..
I love the softness of an old hospital gown. If I could get a more modest garment (a pull over night shirt) made of that material, I'd love it for home use. (I'm usually much too warm here in Florida).
You don't get it. If you buy their gowns, all your patients will be happy, beautiful, young, smiling and healthy!! Oh please, buy their gowns!
What you don't realize is that the gown is actually a poly/cotton/valium blend....
I get to wear one when I go in for my annual with Dr. Ben Dover.
LMAO at Polly's comment! I need one of those for work then!
Amen Dr. Grumpy... NO ONE is that happy about the annual "spread 'em" exam.
Even with a bra, the girls are strangely close and pointy. Lemons? (Or just sour grapes?)
I think she's happy because she isn't wearing one of the blue paper non-cover-alls we have in our office.
One size fits most - ha! Reminds me of what Buddy Hackett once said about one-size-fits-all hospital gowns: "It fits my all, but my a*ss hangs out...."
Paper Gowns are not Eco friendly The Mother-the folks here in Oregon would have your hide!
I have a friend who looks good in a paper bag-it's tough trying to get a free cup of coffee when I go out with her. I don't even ask for booze and I get the shaft. :(
Hmmm. It could be that the catalog is going for an "I finally convinced my husband that Dr. & Patient role play is a good idea" look?
my patients never look that happy. i need my ER to order those gowns NOW.
Little Calf Creamery. Delicious homemade ice cream and food in Thousand Oaks!

TAMPA — He wore No. 42, and appeared lean and regal, and his mere presence in late morning on the back diamonds of Yankee spring training initiated calls of "Mariano, Mariano" from fans stationed behind the fences that encase George M. Steinbrenner Field.
Yet the first day of work for pitchers and catchers still elicited this question:
Is that Mariano Rivera?
On first glance, it sure looked like Rivera. But there was something different in his gait as he went through a 25-pitch bullpen session and fielding drills.
It was not overt — no dragging leg or dramatic limp — and you might not have noticed without intense scrutiny. But, of course, we are in the intense scrutiny portion of Rivera's program since he blew out his ACL last May 3 and is the lone player in any major league camp born in the 1960s.
We intensely scrutinize because unique athleticism is in the very forefront of how Rivera climbed from poor fisherman's son in Panama to Greatest Closer Ever. In the genus of closers, he always has been more balletic swan than fire-breathing Goose. His movements graceful, flowing, precise. That allowed him to repeat his delivery and, thus, pinpoint pitches like few men ever while retaining a quick-twitch genius on and around the mound.
So you look for deviation that could undermine gifts that have elevated Rivera to a grand master in the art of throwing a baseball. And there is the slightest favoring of the surgically repaired knee, a tiny hiccup away from the seamless athleticism seared into your retina from hundreds and hundreds of viewings.
Maybe it is nothing, maybe it will not affect a single pitch in 2013 or perhaps it is just part of a post-surgical process back to same as he ever was and this is only the first day of camp. For Rivera might just be acclimating to a lightweight knee brace that he acknowledged he was wearing and probably will continue to wear during the season. It could still just be about the recovery clock. Rivera put himself at a nine on a scale of 1 to 10, but vowed, "I won't be a nine [when camp breaks]. I will be at a 10 when I am finished."
Who would bet against him? He is Mariano Rivera, seemingly as super natural as superstar. Consider that Yankees strength and conditioning head Dana Cavalea worked at the Stadium during the winter with the closer and said even post-injury and now 43 that Rivera remained an age-defying athletic marvel. "He's The Man," Cavalea proclaimed. "He's a freak."
Joe Girardi, a true believer and optimist to the 10th power, said, "I don't think Mo will be any different than if he didn't have the knee injury."
And J.R. Murphy, a minor leaguer who yesterday caught Rivera for the first time, said, "It looked like on television: easy, effortless and a lot of strikes."
The Yankees need this. Need Rivera. Need him to be his brilliant self so they can check a concern off a bigger list than any time in recent memory. Rivera might have coyly thrown a verbal cutter to the media, veering the theme yesterday from the present to the future with his revelation that he knows if he is going to retire or not after this season, but keeping that a secret for now.
The Yankees don't mind the guessing game for 2014, but not now. They hardly need to add in-season closer audition among David Aardsma, Joba Chamberlain and David Robertson to their to-do list.
Rivera actually sounded and acted like a man planning to make 2012 his final season at this time last year. But he announced nothing, suffered the knee injury shagging flies in Kansas City and pledged he would not end his career in that fashion — carried off a field.
So an uber-dedicated player with nothing left to prove put his mind and body back into the grind because it turns out five rings, the all-time saves record and title of Greatest Closer Ever was not enough. He yearns to win more games, chase another championship, be who he always has been. After the knee surgery. As the last playing vestige of the 1960s.
We have wondered about when the end will come for Rivera often as he has aged. And he never deviated. Now he faces his greatest challenge, and you don't bet against him because he is Mariano Rivera.
But you scrutinize the guy in the No. 42 jersey more than ever because, well, you want to make sure it is still Mariano Rivera.

Control the Cost of Workers Compensation
More than 50 trucking companies are purchasing their workers' compensation insurance from the Arkansas Trucking Association Self-Insurers' Fund. Organized by the ATA Board of Directors in 1993, exclusively for its members, the ATA Self-Insurers' Fund offers trucking companies a way to control workers' compensation costs.
And unlike insurance companies, the ATA Self-Insurers' Fund returns a portion of premiums after all claims are paid. Since 1994, enrolled carriers have received more than $21 million in dividends. The Arkansas Workers' Compensation Commission has named the ATA Self-Insurers' Fund as the best managed group fund in Arkansas six times.
For more information on how to start saving money on your workers' comp insurance, contact Shannon Newton at 501-372-3462 or e-mail email@example.com.

Isn't this loverly!!
A quick trip to Traverse City to get a breath of fresh air....and pick up a couple of bottles of wine. It turned out to be a rainy, overcast day; regardless, it's always fun to explore. One of these days we'll actually make it when the cherry blossoms are blooming!!! Many of the wineries have shorter hours until May (or even June) and that provided us with an opportunity to take our time and enjoy the view. So I ask you, isn't this just "loverly"!!

Saints are mourning the death of two of the club's former goalkeepers – Bob Charles and John Christie.
Both men passed away over the last few days.
Charles, who was 72, played for Saints from 1959 until 1960, making 35 appearances for the club.
Christie, who was 84, enjoyed a longer spell at The Dell, playing there from 1951 until 1959, racking up 217 appearances.
The Scotland-born star, who lived in Chandler's Ford, is rated as one of the finest keepers ever to pull on a Saints jersey.
Indeed, honorary club president Terry Paine selected Christie as substitute to Campbell Forsyth in his all-time Saints squad.
Christie had been signed from Ayr United after coming to the club's attention during his National Service, at Farnborough.
While he had to contend with some competition for his spot in the team at times, he became a regular fixture in the side, before departing for Walsall in 1959.
Christie returned to Southampton in 1964, after his playing days ended, and spent 27 years as a rep in the electrical business, while he also had a spell as a site supervisor at a Winchester school before retirement.
Charles was a born-and-bred Southampton man.
He kept goal for the Southampton side that won the English Schools Trophy in 1957, while he also earned international schoolboy honours and played in the same England youth team as Geoff Hurst and Nobby Stiles.
Charles made his first-team debut for Saints at the age of 17, in September 1959.
He lost his place later in the season, however, as Ted Bates signed the experienced Ron Reynolds for the Third Division run-in, following heavy defeats to Newport County and Coventry that had threatened the club's promotion hopes.
Saints held onto their position at the top of the league, but Charles' Saints career was over shortly afterwards.
Following spells at Weymouth and Hastings United, he remained in Southampton, working at the docks for 20 years, while also running a car sales business in Portswood for a time.

Amos was a sheepbreeder of Tekoa in Judah, who delivered his oracles in the Northern Kingdom during the prosperous reign of Jeroboam II (786–746 B.C.). He prophesied in Israel at the great cult center of Bethel, from which he was finally expelled by the priest in charge of this royal sanctuary (7:10–17). The poetry of Amos, who denounces the hollow prosperity of the Northern Kingdom, is filled with imagery and language taken from his own pastoral background. The book is an anthology of his oracles and was compiled either by the prophet or by some of his disciples.
The prophecy begins with a sweeping indictment of Damascus, Philistia, Tyre, and Edom; but the forthright herdsman saves his climactic denunciation for Israel, whose injustice and idolatry are sins against the light granted to her. Israel could indeed expect the day of the Lord, but it would be a day of darkness and not light (5:18). When Amos prophesied the overthrow of the sanctuary, the fall of the royal house, and the captivity of the people, it was more than Israelite officialdom could bear. The priest of Bethel drove Amos from the shrine—but not before hearing a terrible sentence pronounced upon himself.
Amos is a prophet of divine judgment, and the sovereignty of the Lord in nature and history dominates his thought. But he was no innovator; his conservatism was in keeping with the whole prophetic tradition calling the people back to the high moral and religious demands of the Lord's revelation.
Amos's message stands as one of the most powerful voices ever to challenge hypocrisy and injustice. He boldly indicts kings, priests, and leaders (6:1; 7:9, 16–17). He stresses the importance and the divine origin of the prophetic word (3:3–8); one must either heed that word in its entirety or suffer its disappearance (8:11–12). Religion without justice is an affront to the God of Israel and, far from appeasing God, can only provoke divine wrath (5:21–27; 8:4–10). The Lord is not some petty national god but the sovereign creator of the cosmos (4:13; 5:8; 9:5–6). Amos alludes to historical forces at work through which God would exercise judgment on Israel (6:14). Several times he mentions deportation as the fate that awaits the people and their corrupt leaders (4:3; 5:5, 27; 7:17), a standard tactic of Assyrian foreign policy during this period. Through the prophetic word and various natural disasters (4:6–12) the Lord has tried to bring Israel to repentance, but to no avail. Israel's rebelliousness has exhausted the divine patience and the destruction of Israel as a nation and as God's people is inevitable (2:4, 13–16; 7:8–9). As it is presented in this book, Amos's message is one of almost unrelieved gloom (but see 5:14–15). A later appendix (9:11–15), however, ends the book on a hopeful note, looking beyond the judgment that had already taken place in fulfillment of Amos's word.
The Book of Amos may be divided as follows:

MIAMI — A Marine veteran jailed for months in Mexico after trying to carry an heirloom shotgun across the border had to be hospitalized on his way home to Florida.
Jon Hammar of Palmetto Bay was released Friday from a detention center in Matamoros, Mexico. Relatives say he was hospitalized over the weekend in Louisiana as he was driving to South Florida. Hammar's mother says the 27-year-old had a bad chest cold and a stomach ailment before his release but still is expected home for Christmas.
Hammar was headed to Costa Rica in August when he drove across the Mexican border. US authorities told him he could declare the unloaded shotgun at the border. But reports say Mexican authorities held him until they determined there was no intent to commit a crime.

FRISCO — With the help of their Colombian contingent, FC Dallas produced a thrilling come-from-behind 3-2 victory over a 10-man Colorado Rapids in a thrilling affair at FC Dallas Stadium on Saturday night.
Dallas' Colombian trio of David Ferreira, Jair Benitez and Fabián Castillo combined for all three of the team's goals, while Colorado found strikes from another Colombian, Jaime Castrillón, and Jeff Larentowicz.
Castrillón also went into the books a second time when he drew a straight red card in the 71st minute for kicking out at FCD defender George John, leaving the Rapids down a man for the final 19 minutes.
Colorado took the lead in the 12th minute through some usual suspects. Hunter Freeman's ball in to Brian Mullan looked as if it was headed for a goal kick, but the winger was able to beat Julian de Guzman to the get to the pass just before it crossed the end line. Mullan's first-time cross was smashed home by Castrillón for his team-leading sixth goal of the year and Mullan's team-leading seventh assist.
Despite Dallas holding a 62 percent advantage in possession in the first half, Colorado nearly doubled their lead in the 34th minute had it not been for Kevin Hartman. The 'keeper came up huge for FCD, making a sprawling double save on Omar Cummings to keep the game within reach.
Cummings and the Rapids would come to rue that missed chance, as Dallas turned the game on its head with a eight-minute flurry late in the first half and early in the second.
The home side found their equalizer in the 41st minute through Castillo. De Guzman played a ball to Castillo at the top of the box and the 20-year-old attacker did the rest, blasting a low right-footed shot past Rapids goalkeeper Matt Pickens to level the score. For Castillo, it was his third goal of the season and second straight game scoring against Colorado.
FCD took the lead less than three minutes later from the unlikeliest of sources. Castillo was fouled by Drew Moor 35 yards from goal and Benitez stepped up to the ball. Playing in his 87th MLS game, the FCD left back found the back of the net for the first time, curling the free kick over the wall, past Pickens and inside the near post to give Dallas a sensational 2-1 lead heading into the break.
Dallas' most famous Colombian got in on the act early in the second half. In the 49th minute, Ferreira received a pass from Castillo, turned and slotted the ball past Pickens for an emotional first goal since returning from his long injury layoff.
OPTA CHALKBOARD: FCD just a little better than Colorado
But Colorado didn't go down quietly. The Rapids pulled to within a goal in the 55th minute in what quickly became a wild match. The visitors won a free kick about 30 yards from the goal and Larentowicz smashed a low drive that snuck through a crowded box and off the post to score his third goal of 2012 in fantastic fashion.
The Rapids' hopes for a fight back, however, suffered a blow in the 71st minute, when Castrillón earned a red card for lashing out out John. The FCD center back tripped over a felled Castrillón, and the Colombian midfielder took offence to the incident, responding with what looked like a kick to John's face. The referee wasted no time in reaching for his pocket to pull out the red card.
Dallas saw out the match with some last-ditch defending in the final minutes to seal a crucial 3-2 victory and the season series over Colorado.
With the win, FC Dallas pull into a tie for sixth place in the Western Conference, seven points behind the LA Galaxy with a Wednesday night trip to Vancouver coming up (9 pm on FSSW Plus).

Kristen Stewart: 'I'm just going to live my life'
- She says: "People think they knew a lot about me before. They know even less now."
In On the Road, we see a far more mature side of Kristen Stewart -- and certainly more of her in general. She shows skin. She has sex. She does drugs.
The Walter Salles-directed film is based on Jack Kerouac's book and co-stars Stewart as the on- and off-again love interest of troubled free spirit Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund).
Over wine at the Tribeca Grand hotel, Stewart, 22, was happy to discuss her career, the end of the Twilight film saga, her love of cooking and her discomfort with being in the spotlight. As for curiosity about her relationship with Robert Pattinson?
Stewart, never one to spill her guts in public, isn't about to start now, especially in the wake of photos that surfaced earlier this year of her getting frisky with another guy, director Rupert Sanders.
"People think they knew a lot about me before. They know even less now. People will project whatever. It's a huge form of entertainment. As soon as you step outside your own life and look at it like that and think that you can shape something -- you need to live your life. I'm just going to live my life, actually," she says.
A few highlights from the late-afternoon chat:
On the end of the Twilight franchise: "I never felt stuck in that. Not at all. I had so many opportunities in the midst of that to do a million things. If it kept me from doing other things, I still wouldn't resent it. You start a project to finish it. I was eager to get back and finish the story. (On the Road) wasn't me stepping out to do a different thing to liberate myself."
On her fame: "There are a few things that make it seem (expletive) real. It's all totally circumstantial. You sound like you're complaining. I sit in restaurants and the real normal reaction to seeing a famous person in a restaurant -- because it's so weird -- is that people laugh or smile or look over. I feel like I'm in the sixth grade and everyone in the room is laughing at me. Some people can come into a room and say hello to everyone and it's fine. I'm not that person. I don't think I'm very approachable. That's good, though. Rob is (noticed) way more than I am, especially if we're out together. He's so recognizable and I'm not. I put a hood on and I'm a girl with long hair. I can go out."
On the misconception that she's cold and unfriendly: "People think I'm fairly unapproachable, which is crazy. If I ever meet anyone who's into Twilight, there's nothing like having someone be like, 'I love that thing.' This is a very relatable feeling."
On being reserved: "My friends literally applaud me when I go ask where the bathroom is. Or if I'm like, 'can we get another round of drinks?' You really took the bull by the horns! I can't imagine a quality I dislike more in a person (than being entitled)."

Workers Don't Use Vacation, But Want More
With the end of the year quickly approaching, a number of U.S. workers will be bustling to use up the last of their vacation days.
Continue Reading Below
New research from Adecco Staffing USA found that, as of the end of November, 75 percent of employees have yet to take all of the vacation days allotted to them by their employers.
But, despite having days off left to burn, a number of workers still want more vacation time. More than 40 percent of those surveyed would like one or two additional weeks off, while nearly a quarter would like three weeks or more of additional vacation time.
"It's interesting that many workers are not taking advantage of their available vacation days for the year, yet are hungry for more time off," said Joyce Russell of Adecco Staffing.
The study found one reason for vacation-day stockpiling is that workers use days designated for other situations when they need time off. In particular, nearly half of employees surveyed admit to using their sick days as "vacation" days, and 27 percent have used jury duty days as vacation time.
In addition, in a perhaps morally questionable move, 26 percent of those surveyed have taken bereavement days as vacation days.
The research also shows a number of employees don't like taking vacation days because of the way peers view the time off. Nearly 30 percent of those surveyed themselves get upset when coworkers take multiple long weekends, while 23 percent feel as though their colleagues judge them when they take any time off.
Employees also have a hard time agreeing on when it is acceptable to take time off. About half of those surveyed believe it's OK for their colleagues to take two weeks off for a vacation or a honeymoon. But the respondents were less forgiving about time coworkers take off for charitable work or to care for a sick family member. More than 35 percent of employees think just two days off is acceptable for volunteering, while 29 percent think the same about caring for an ill family member.
"There seem to be so many stipulations about taking vacation days, some self-inflicted and some [inflicted] by colleagues," said Russell. "The important thing to remember is why we have vacation days in the first place — to give us time to relax recharge, and enjoy our lives so that we can be even more productive and successful in our work."
Russell said managers should encourage an environment that supports work-life balance through time off outside the office.
"By developing a plan to ensure that all business needs are being met in the workplace while co-workers are out, there's no reason that staff shouldn't be taking their days," she said.
The research was based on surveys of more than 500 full-time workers.

There's no question Mark Zuckerberg is kind of a weird guy. We've seen him awkwardly address the public, and then announce he's only eating animals he kills himself. So the tale of how he takes potential employees out to the woods to tell the tale of Silicon Valley, really isn't a big surprise.
Valleywag reports about how New York Times' Nick Bilton spoke to some of the engineers at Facebook. Evidently, Zuckerberg would invite them on a walk "along the wooded area of Palo Alto that skirts Stanford University." After getting to an area that overlooks Palo Alto, the Zuck would talk about the history of the tech valley, and where Facebook fits in.
"He pointed to Facebook and said that it would eventually be bigger than all of the companies he had just mentioned," One person who went for a walk with Zuckerberg told the Times, "and that if I joined the company, I could be apart of it."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
There was no mention if Mark would try to capture any small woodland animals with his bare hands, however.
Gizmodo has photos of the Zuck's woodland spot.

Sony Ericsson is also partnering with Unity Technologies, using its award-winning development platform, to ensure a continuous flow of high quality 3D game titles.
Mr Sakaguchi continued: "The launch of Xperia PLAY could not have been possible without the close collaboration of both Google and Sony Computer Entertainment. The commitment of so many industry leading game publishers further demonstrates that Xperia PLAY will deliver on the long-held expectations from consumers the world over."
XperiaTM PLAY and PlayStation Certified gaming are great examples of the kind of innovation that's possible in the open Android ecosystem," said Andy Rubin, Vice President of Engineering at Google.

Just as Bottega on Walton St. closed to make room for a grocery store and student housing, Chris Murray, the proprietor, started work on his next project, The Oxford Blue in Iffley.
With partners, chef Mark Bradbury and Mark Ferris, they came up with a plan to keep the vibe of the local pub, but incorporate Bottega's wine bar style and sophistication.
Liscious Interiors of Summertown decorated the pub.
The style is similar to New York's East Village combined with Bodegas of Lyon, France.
Cabinets reclaimed from the Ashmolean show off vintages. Chris hopes to add climate control so he can use them to store wines.
The Oxford Blue is an Enterprise Inn, which allows its pubs to sell beer from members of the Society of Independent Brewers. This means they have local lovelies from Shotover Brewery and Oxfordshire Ales.
The "wines by the glass" list is similar to Bottega and the bottle list is still developing. I did see a Verdicchio San Lorenzo 'Gino' Biodynamic wine from Italy that I must try on my next visit.
While I was there, Tony Cloke, from Plantagenet Wines was talking to Chris and Mark Bradbury about the upcoming food and wine dinner, February 1.
"We don't want people to get too caught up with the wine and the food," Chef Mark said "we want them to experience it."
I tasted two of the wines that will be served.
The first was an Omrah unoaked Chardonnay.
Lately Chardonnay has had an unfortunate reputation. Overly oaked Australian/American versions and classless celebrities drinking the cheaper wines have spoiled this grape.
However, this Omrah is crisp and fresh. It is a sur lie, which means it was left on the lees (the dead yeast cells, skins, pulp, stems and stuff found at the bottom of tanks and bottles) for a time. This gives it creaminess.
The second wine was the Omrah Pinot Noir. This has the classic flavours of berries and fruit entangled with tanginess and a bit of spice in the finish.
Plantagenet Wines work with smaller family run and boutique vineyards for tastier wines.
Both wines are cool climate from the Western part of Australia. They benefit from exposure to the southern ocean, which keeps the whites crisp and the reds acidic.
The wine tasting dinner will be £25 a person, but that includes your six different wines (almost a bottle each) and courses to match.

Jay Parikh sits at a desk inside Building 16 at Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park, California, and his administrative assistant, Genie Samuel, sits next to him. Every so often, Parikh will hear her giggle, and that means she just tagged him in some sort of semi-embarrassing photo uploaded to, yes, Facebook. Typically, her giggle is immediately followed by a notification on his Facebook page. If it's not, he has some work to do.
Parikh is Facebook's vice president of infrastructure engineering. He oversees the hardware and software that underpins the world's most popular social network, and if that notification doesn't appear within seconds, it's his job to find out why. The trouble is that the Facebook infrastructure now spans four data centers in four separate parts of the world, tens of thousands of computer servers, and more software tools than you could list without taking a deep breath in the middle of it all. The cause of that missing notification is buried somewhere inside one of the largest operations on the net.
But that's why Parikh and his team build tools like Scuba. Scuba is a new-age software platform that lets Facebook engineers instantly analyze data describing the length and breadth of the company's massive infrastructure. Typically, when you crunch such enormous amounts of information, there's a time lag. You might need hours to process it all. But Scuba is what's called an in-memory data store. It keeps all that data in the high-speed memory systems running across hundreds of computer servers – not the hard disks, the memory systems – and this means you can query the data in near realtime.
"It gives us this very dynamic view into how our infrastructure is doing – how our servers are doing, how our network is doing, how the different software systems are interacting," Parikh says. "So, when Genie tags me in a photo and it doesn't show up within seconds, we can look to Scuba."
In the nine years since Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook out of his Harvard dorm room – Monday marks the anniversary of the service – it has evolved into more than just the world's most popular social network. Zuckerberg and company have also built one of the most sophisticated engineering operations on the planet – largely because they had to. Facebook is faced with a uniquely difficult task – how to serve a personalized homepage to one billion different people, juggling one billion different sets of messages, photos, videos, and so many other data feeds – and this requires more tech talent than you might expect.
Yes, Facebook's engineering army includes people like Lars Rasmussen who create web applications like the company's Graph Search tool – the stuff you can see on your Facebook page. It includes other software engineers who fashion the tools and widgets needed to build, test, and deploy those web applications. And nowadays, it includes hardware engineers like Amir Michael who design custom servers, storage devices, and, yes, entire data centers.
But it also spans a team of top engineers who deal in data – an increasingly important part of modern online operations. Scuba is just one of many "Big Data" software platforms Facebook has fashioned to harness the information generated by its online operation – platforms that push the boundaries of distributed computing, the art of training hundreds or even thousands of computers on a single task.
Built by engineers such as Raghu Murthy, Avery Ching, and Josh Metzler, these tools not only troubleshoot problems inside Facebook's data centers, they help Facebook data scientists analyze the effectiveness of the company's online applications and the behavior of its users, and in some cases, they're even feeding data directly to Facebook users, driving familiar web applications such as Facebook Messages.
Google's Big Data platforms are still viewed as the web's most advanced, but as Facebook strives to expand its own online empire, it isn't far behind, and in contrast to Google, Facebook is intent on sharing much of its software with the rest of the world. Google often shares its big ideas, but Facebook also shares its code, hoping others will make good use of it. "Our mission as a company is to make the world more open and connected," Parihk says, "and in building our infrastructure, we're also contributing to that mission."
The Tale of the Broken News Feed ——————————–
Facebook's data team was founded by a man named Jeff Hammerbacher. Hammerbacher was a contemporary of Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard, where he studied mathematics, and before taking a job at Facebook in the spring 2006, he worked as a data scientist inside the big-name (but now defunct) New York financial house Bear Stearns.
Hammerbacher likes to say that the roots of Facebook's data operation stretch back to an afternoon at Bear Stearns when the Reuters data feed suddenly went belly up. With the data feed down, no one could make trades – or make any money – and the feed stayed down for a good hour, because the one guy who ran the thing was out to lunch. For Hammerbacher, this snafu showed that data tools were just as important as data experts – if not more so.
"I realized that the delta between the data models that I generated and the models generated by a mathematician at another firm was going be pretty small compared to the amount of money we lost during that two hours without the Reuters data feed," Hammerbacher remembers. "I felt like there was an opportunity to build a complete system that starts with data ingest and runs all the way to data model building – and try to optimize that system at every point."
That's basically what he did at Facebook. The company hired him as a data scientist – someone who could help make sense of the company's operation through information analysis – but with that broken Reuters data feed in the back of his mind, he went several steps further. He built a team that would take control of the company's data. The team would not only analyze data. It would build and operate the tools needed to collect and process that data.
When he first joined the company, it was still trying to juggle information using old school Oracle data warehouse. But such software wasn't designed to accomodate an operation growing as quickly as Facebook, and Hammerbacher helped push the company onto Hadoop, an open source software platform that had only recently been bootstrapped by Yahoo.
Hadoop spreads data across a sea of commodity servers, before using the collective power of those machine to transform the data into something useful. It's attractive because commodity servers are cheap, and as your data expands, you just add more of them.
Yahoo used Hadoop to build an index for its web search engine, but Hammerbacher and Facebook saw it as a means of empowering the company's data scientists – a way of analyzing much larger amounts of information than it could stuff into an Oracle data warehouse. The company went to work on a tool Hive – which would let analysts crunch data atop Hadoop using something very similar to the structured query language (SQL) that has been widely used since the 80s – and this soon became its primary tool for analyzing the performance of online ads, among other things.
Hammerbacher left the company in the fall of 2008 to help found Cloudera, a startup intent on bringing Hadoop to businesses beyond the web. But the die was cast. Before he left, Hammerbacher even graced the Facebook data team with its own theme song.
Hadoop of the Future ——————–
Today, Hadoop underpins a who's who of web services, from Twitter to eBay to LinkedIn, and Facebook is now pushing the platform to new extremes. According to Jay Parikh – who, as head of infrastructure, oversees the company's Big Data work – Facebook runs the world's largest Hadoop cluster. Just one of several Hadoop clusters operated by the company, it spans more than 4,000 machines, and it houses over 100 petabytes of data, aka hundreds of millions of gigabytes.
This cluster is so large, it has already outgrown four data centers, says Facebook engineer Raghu Murthy. On four separates occasions, as it struggled to cope with the ever expanding collection of data generated by its site, Facebook filled its allotted data center space with Hadoop servers, and each time, it was forced to find a new facility. "Our planning horizon was always, like, forever," says Murthy, a cornerstone of the company's Big Data work since Jeff Hammerbacher hired him away from a Standford Ph.D. program more than four years ago. "But then we would have to go through this process of shipping all the data over to a new place."
But after the last move, the company vowed it would never do this again, and it set about building a Hadoop cluster that would span multiple data centers. The project was led by Murthy, who had caught Hammerbacher's eye after building a pre-Hadoop distributed computing system at Yahoo and had already worked on several key projects at Facebook, including Hive. But this was something different. Hadoop wasn't designed to run across multiple facilities. Typically, because it requires such heavy communication between servers, clusters are limited to a single data center.
The solution is Prism, a platform Murthy and crew are currently rolling out across the Facebook infrastructure. The typical Hadoop cluster is governed by a single "namespace," a list of computing resources available for each job, but Prism carves out multiple namespaces, creating many "logical clusters" that operate atop the same physical cluster.
These names spaces can then be divided across various Facebook teams – each team gets its own name space – but all of them have access to a common dataset, and this dataset can span multiple data centers. The trick is when a team run a job, it can replicate the particular data needed for that job and move it into a single data center. "We're pushing the capacity planning down to the individual teams," Murthy says. "They have a better understanding of the particular needs of the site."
According to Murthy, the system can expand to an infinite number of servers – at least in theory. That means the company needn't worry about maxing out another data center. But for Santosh Janardhan – who runs "operations" for the data team, meaning he ensures all this infrastructure runs smoothly – there's an added benefit. "Having the whole Hadoop cluster in one data center scares the shit out of me," he says. "Prism helps with this."
Prism is just one part of a sweeping effort to improve and expand Hadoop. Led by another ex-Yahoo man, Avery Ching, a second team of engineers recently deployed a new platform called Corona, which allows many jobs to run atop a single Hadoop cluster without crashing the thing. And Murthy has also helped fashion a tool called Peregrine, which lets you query Hadoop data far more quickly than the norm. Hadoop was designed as a "batch system," meaning you typically have to wait while jobs run, but much like Impala – a system built by Hammerbacher and Cloudera – Peregrine takes the platform closer to realtime.
Facebook has yet shared all this software with the outside world, but it has shared Corona, and if history is a guide, it will likely share more. That's one of the reasons engineers like Avery Ching are here. "At Facebook, we face problems before others do," he says. "Others can benefit from that. They don't have to reinvent the wheel."
Data Minds in Candy Land ————————-
Hadoop is the bedrock of the Facebook's data operation – and it will be for years to come. But with tools like Scuba, the company is also moving in new directions.
Built by a team of engineers that includes Josh Metzler – who attracted the company's attention after he repeatedly placed among the highest scorers in the programming competitions run by Top Coder – Scuba is one of a growing number of in-memory data stores that seek to significantly improve the speed of information analysis. Tiny software agents running on across Facebook data centers collect information about that behavior of the company's infrastructure, and then Scuba compresses this log data into the memory systems of hundreds of machines. This data can then be queried almost instantly.
"It kinda of like an Excel pivot table," says Parikh, referring to the common spreadsheet tool that lets you slice and dice data, "except you're dealing with hundreds of millions of rows of data and you can pivot that data with a sub-second response time."
Yes, the project seems to overlap with Peregrine – at least in part. But as Jeff Hammerbacher points out, that too is part of the Facebook ethos. "The Facebook way of building things is to go for the shortest path solution," he says. "It doesn't always build one monolithic system that does everything." Like so many Facebook projects, Scuba grew out of a company hackathon. Engineers see a problem and they tackle it. They don't wait for another project to solve it for them.
And these problems are everywhere. Santosh Janardhan juggled data at PayPal and YouTube, but he says these jobs now seem tiny by comparison. "Facebook blows all of them out," he says. "It's just staggering to me...the sheer rate at which data grows here." That, he says, is the main reason they're all here. They want to solve the big problems. "If you're a technical guy, this is like a Candy Land."

Martez Wilson Scouting Report
|Illinois Fighting Illini
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'4 - 250 lbs.
2011 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Martez Wilson, ILB, Illinois
In his first two seasons, Wilson played on instincts alone. He was inconsistent and didn't always play his assignment. All the smaller details of the game eluded him. But in his junior year, Wilson suffered a herniated disc in his neck, forcing him to miss the entire season. The NCAA granted him a medical redshirt waiver so he was still a junior for the 2010 season.
The redshirt year spent on the sidelines seems to have had a positive effect on his game as Wilson has played his position far better this season.
Wilson was highly productive in 2010 with 112 tackles, 4 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 1 interception. He has the height to play inside or outside. For his size, he plays very fast with speed and quickness. He will likely switch positions (as previously stated), but he adapts very quickly as evidenced by the fact he has played different linebacker positions and defensive end.
He will need to improve his ability to read and react to plays as he sometimes gets caught up in over pursuit. When at full speed, his fundamentals will need to improve since he tends to play a bit out of control. He forgets to wrap up and relies on his velocity to make an impact tackle rather than break down to tackle the ball-carrier. Ultimately, he may not be a player who can contribute immediately, but with some coaching would be very good.
Many scouts now view him as an outside linebacker, who in time, could slide back inside depending upon the defensive scheme.
Wilson projects as a high second round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft due to his versatility, athleticism and upside.
