I have installed ubuntu 12.04.
So, i don't remember very well what i did to make my flash usb, unwritable. Anyways it happened after i have installed gnome shell, and now i don't know how to uninstall it I tried ...sudo purge gnome-* or something similar, but I still can see gnome at log-in screen. Or (because the pc's power supply went bad when the key was plugged in), but I doubt that because in windows works very well.
However, in windows works everything ok, chkdsk says it's everything in order. In windows I can access / modify / copy / whatever in ubuntu 12.04 it doesn't work anymore, I mean I see the files, but I cant copy them, I can create some files in the root only, and I can't delete anything.
I tried, with the disk utility preinstalled program to check the file system, everything in order, just like in windows, no bad/damaged files. I tried to take ownership in this ways: right click -> proprieties (on my flash usb) and permissions > give myself permission. it didn't work, it said something like ... (X) ... read only ... then I tried:
cd /media/my_external_drive
sudo chmod -R 777 *
inserted admin password ... worked
sudo chown -R your_username:your_username *
But that did't work either... What can I do ? I bet that if I reinstall the whole system it will work, but I think it's not worthy reformatting just for some permissions.

Assessment: Group K-Film
Monday, June 4th, 2012Lab: Participation Assessment
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012In the lab today we graded ourselves for the 30% participation. I gave myself a Distinction because when grading myself in a situation like that, while I might want the HD grade, I can't bring myself to grade it to myself. So, why did I give myself a D? Well, for the first 8 weeks of semester I was very much on top of things. I attended all the lectures, did all the readings in advance and posted blog entries as often as possible. I deserve an HD for that. But, from week 8 to 12 I petered out. I posted less on the blog, I attended fewer lectures and only caught up on some of them via audio recordings. I spent more time working on the major project than keeping my evidence of participation up. So I figured I should lower my score to a D.
But thinking back on it now, I was on top of things for more than half of the semester. So maybe that does deserve an HD. Too late now I guess.
Assessment: Update
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012I haven't been updating much as I've been very busy with doing the major assessment, work and my international guest all at once. For the first few weeks the project was looking not-so-great, but we've really pulled everything together this last week and we're on schedule according to the Gantt chart. We've got 60 videos all up that we're going to plug into Korsakow in class this afternoon. I've got half of them already but I need to SNUify the rest. Eric has made the bulk of them, as per our Project Management notes. Vanessa has made the backgrounds so the interface should be good.
I've also made a start on the essay. I created a Google Doc to share our notes. I've written 1000 words of draft ideas so far. Vanessa will take that and build upon it, as essay-writing is a large part of her contribution (per her request).
So all that's left of the K-Film itself should be the final stages of putting it all together before exporting. This time I want to publish it on the web well before the due date to make sure it's all good. Everything else is much simpler to hand in.
Lab: Gantt Chart
Tuesday, May 1st, 2012Today my group formulated our project outline. I put everything necessary together on a Google document, viewable here (if you have an RMIT account).
Our proposition is looking to be, "How are our experiences defined by different stages of life?" with a working title of "Experience."
I made two videos from the exercise in last week's lab, but only one is worth sharing. It was around the word 'Identity' and is about the game MATCH that young kids/early teens (mostly girls) play to determine their future life. I think it's a good example of capturing a stage of life without having people in it in that stage currently.
Lab: Brainstorming
Tuesday, April 24th, 2012Today's lab is all about brainstorming for our major K-films. Number one problem: I am the only member of my group in the lab. OK, what do I do?
So, last week, I joined my group after the other two members had already decided they wanted to use the prompt "Life is…" and that they wanted to vaguely show a progression, like have videos of babies and kids and so on. I took these ideas and formulated them into a plan for a narrative-ish structure. Daniel, in the assessment review session this morning, talked about his first K-film and his attempt to make it narrative-ish by using POCs in a progression, a series of numbers. I have attempted the same sort of thing but the POCs will be a bit different.
Seth played devil's advocate just now to try to understand my concept. I explained that I was trying to structure the major work with the limitations I was given by my group. There will be four themes — baby, child, teen and adult — and each of those themes will have a varying number of videos with half as many POCs. So, for example, there will be 8 'baby' videos with 4 POCs. 'Child' has 12 videos, 6 POCs. There are two POCs between 'baby' and 'child' that will be the same, so that they can cross over. 'Teen' has 18 videos, 9 POCs. There are three POCs between 'child' and 'teen' that will be the same, so that they can cross over. But 'teen' and 'baby' have no common POCs so can never directly cross over. 'Adult' has 22 videos with 11 POCs. There are four POCs between 'teen' and 'adult' that are the same, so they can cross over. But 'adult' and 'child' and 'adult' and 'baby' have no common POCs so can never directly cross over. In this way, the K-film is vaguely filtering from 'baby' to 'adult' but with a few back and forths.
Does this make sense?
The reason that I want to stick with this idea and make all of the videos relate to either 'baby,' 'child,' 'teen,' or 'adult' is because it can only go one of two ways: a) we will succeed in making a narrative-ish structured K-film, or b) we will not. And since our chosen essay prompt is, "A K-film is not very good at making stories with clear direction, what Barthes would describe as 'work,' but is ideal for making videos that make visible Barthes' idea of 'text,'" we will easily be able to write an essay either agreeing with this statement or refuting it.
So there will be 60 videos about what "Life is…" and hopefully they will relate to experiences had by babies, children, teens and adults — people in various stages of life. I don't believe we need to literally show babies in our videos. There are other ways of conveying these ideas than just filming a baby or a child straight up. And if we can make videos that convey these ideas of life stages and the experiences that are unique to them or that crossover with other life stages, we can hopefully put them together into a holistic K-film. And if we fail, we can talk about why that happened.
Assessment: Korsakow Film and Essay
Friday, April 13th, 2012My K-Film, titled Change.
This essay is a written description of the Korsakow film I created for the course Integrated Media 1. The outline for this assessment was to create a 'self-portrait' K-Film. I will explain here what effect I was trying to achieve with the text used in my K-Film as well as how I conceived the structure of my work. I argue that it is successful because its theme is coherent and consistent. I will finally sum up what I believe is the most important thing I learnt while doing this task.
The theme in which I have structured my Korsakow film around is 'Change' and coping with that change. I did not set out with this theme in mind; rather I found it in the sketch videos themselves. When we were set 30-second videos to create each week, I made do with what was available to me. Instead of creating monuments, I used my point-and-shoot digital camera and mostly filmed around my home. When viewing my videos later to brainstorm, I realised that the strongest message coming out of them was that they were the result of being in a new environment.
My new environment was Yarraville. I moved into a new house at the end of last year. Even my own bedroom featured new furniture and gave me an opportunity to express myself as I am now and start with a fresh canvas. When I created the weekly video sketches, I unconsciously created a running theme of things that were familiar to me and things that were unfamiliar to me. The contrast was clear in my eyes when I looked at all 15 videos as a whole. With this view, I went back and linked up the videos that I could see already had connections. The text flowed from there.
I elected to keep my K-Film simple. I chose 640 x 360 resolution so as to offer a glimpse, not an overbearing screen size. This is to embrace the nature of the video sketches themselves; ready-to-hand, made for sharing. They are small, short. I have kept the background black, the text white and small within the Verdana font family. The reason for this is to keep it easily readable, sanserif and adaptable for the web. I kept the descriptions short. I wanted the videos to tell the message and the text to just add the extra hint in determining the connections. All of the text relates to the theme of 'change' and often alludes to what is familiar and what is unfamiliar, or what is old and what is new. For example, in the video 'Square,' which was filmed around my home, the text reads, 'Exploring my new surroundings with a purpose.' This is straightforward. For the 'Red' video, however, the text reads, 'I did not know the knife was blunt,' which is a little more subtle.
Some of the videos do not fit so easily into 'Old' and 'New.' The middle keyword that links these two together is 'Changing.' The video about 'Me' and the video about 'Outside' are two examples of this. For 'Me,' I wrote, 'I know who I used to be,' to illustrate how you only know your own past, not your future. Change is uncertain and can be frightening. Sometimes what is in the past can be more comforting and you can look at your memories perhaps more fondly than you should. The text for 'Outside' reads, 'Maybe things aren't always how you remember them,' which deals with this idea. This is an expansion on the theme of 'Change.' It is about looking back on the events that have led me to be who I am now, learning what was the catalyst for that change.
I think that my work is successful in creating connections. If not always completely clear in its connection to the video, the text deals with the same theme throughout and is relatively coherent in that regard. Perhaps my shortcomings are linking text to video; text to text may be simple, but what I see in the visual may not be what the average viewer can discern. This is something I have struggled with in the past. What makes this project different is that I didn't create the flow from the beginning and instead had to use what was at my disposal already. I think, in some ways, this made my piece more effective, as it flowed more naturally.
Using a program like Korsakow has been an interesting experience as it has allowed me to adapt to a new way of thinking and creating. The format of a K-Film is unique and encourages the artist to find connections in things, rather than make them. I think this is a very valuable exercise and allows for growth in that kind of viewing. It's almost like the analytical melding with the creative all at once. It's a wonderful fusion of tacit and explicit knowledge, where tacit knowledge is creating the Small Narrative Units within Korsakow while explicit knowledge is choosing the appropriate Points of Contact.
My K-Film is titled 'Change' to help the viewer understand what I was trying to say and the effect I was trying to achieve. I conceived the structure of my work to be coherent and consistent, which I believe makes it a successful piece. In doing this task, I learnt that connections can be found and not just made. In the end, however, it doesn't really matter what the artist was trying to say. It's up to the viewer to decide what the art is about.
Lab: Participation cont.
Tuesday, March 6th, 2012I already made my list of ways to learn and improve in this course, so right now I'm going to expand a little on some new ideas.
In the class today, I said that I find it easy to create videos and blog posts — I mean, it's like homework — but it's hard to actually make things of quality. Quality is a pretty loose term though which I might explore a bit later. But for my purposes right now I define quality as something that I can actually take pride in for myself, something that I know myself has purpose or meaning. To learn to do this, or improve on it, I need to be open to new ideas and concepts, collaboration, critique and commentary.
Another thing that I think will have me get the most out of a course like this is to create a holistic experience. The way that Adrian has created this course is very non-linear, very non-traditional and interactive. He has left it up to us to put the pieces together — to filter information until we find something of value. To engage on this level, I plan to utilise the tools available, and my own tools, to make it more holistic for my purposes.
For example, I said today in class that I already use bloglovin' to keep track of Wordpress and Blogspot blogs I'm interested in and I already added Integrated Media Won to this service. But I am also going to create my own dropmark account to filter the links, documents, whatever, that I want for my learning experience. I will also add #COMM2251 to my Twitter feed, a service I actually don't use right now. Whatever other tools I decide to use, I'll add here.
But right now, it's time to discuss the reading in this tutorial!

On Thursday, the visual novel Analogue: A Hate Story got a patch that added a pair of costumes for *Hyun-ae, and also fixed the Steam Achievements so that they actually work. There's still a bit of weirdness involved, as the achievements don't trigger unless you go to the main menu first, and then move to another screen.
It took me several of hours to do, but I got all 14 of the achievements that night (I had played the game a few days earlier and fulfilled some of the achievement conditions, but didn't actually get credit for them until Thursday's patch) and then went on to write a guide on how to earn each of these achievements. The game isn't very long – it only takes about two hours to finish a path, assuming you actually sit and read all of the text – so obtaining all of the achievements is pretty easy to do, since you get them as you progress through the story.
This is the first of my achievement guides, but it's not the only one where I've obtained 100% of the available achievements for it. I'll need to check out my backlog to figure out which ones, and once I remember how I got them, I'll add them here (and on other websites). Contributions and corrections are always appreciated, so if you find a mistake or want to add something, hit me up either in the relevant comment thread or on Facebook or Twitter.

The Healthcare Careers Resource Blog is designed to address industry topics, trends and opportunities within the nursing community. It allows nurses and healthcare leaders the ability to participate in the discussion. If you are a healthcare recruiter who staffs in-house nurses, travel nurses or other health care professionals for temporary or permanent assignments, you may have questions about the recruitment process.
We encourage all healthcare professionals to read, comment and contribute to the blog posts.

In today's competitive job market, it's more challenging than ever to land a position. Having the education, experience and skills are a great start, but what else should one consider to stand out from the competition? Exactly how does one land that perfect job? By following these three things:
1. Know exactly what you want: Most people head into the job market and have an idea of what they would like in their next position. Others know what they want and know what type of company they want to represent. Spend some time researching the company prior to an interview and make sure it's a good fit for you. Take the time to understand the history, current news and future objectives of the organization. Sharing this information during an interview is powerful! Try aligning the company's vision or mission with your goals or strengths to demonstrate that you plan to be involved with the success of the organization.
2. Stand out from the competition: Start with confidence! Being confident about your ability to do the job well is crucial. Most of us aren't comfortable tooting our own horn, so an alternative is to quote something a former boss or colleague once said about you. Here are two examples: "My last manager, Brian, used to say that I was the glue who held the department together" or "my co-worker, Marcy, often thanked me for being the one who would help out whenever they were in a jam". Notice how this shows a fair amount of confidence yet still comes across as humble?
Also, it's good to show your enthusiasm for the position–recruiters and hiring managers want to give the job to someone who really WANTS the job. Tell them you want the job (if you do!)
Finally, show them that you have a personality and let your sense of humor shine through a bit. While you want to remain professional, it's nice to sprinkle a little humor into the conversation at times. It shows that you can connect on other levels. This is especially important when venturing into a team environment or a position where you will be working with different personalities.
3. Back up your strengths and your deliverables: If you say you can do it, prove it by backing it up! Have an example ready for every success. When asked about your past positions, don't just list the job duties. Instead, talk about the outcome – what was the end result of your work? Did the work schedule you created reduce overtime hours for the organization? Did your suggestions become policies that improved processes? Did your service-minded ways result in fewer complaints or a higher level of patient satisfaction? These types of accomplishment statements create a better dialogue with the recruiter and demonstrate that you can back-up your strengths.
Last, have references available who will sing your praises. The most effective form of advertising is word of mouth. This holds true when advertising oneself. You may want to call your references and ask them if they would be willing to support you as you find your next career.
In summary, to land a position in today's job market, conduct the research, stand out from the others and back up your strengths. You have a great story to tell, and these tips will help you tell that story better!
By Andrew Pendleton
You are at a point in your career that you want to make a change. Sure, there are job boards out there to help. However, the position you are hoping for doesn't seem to be out there. What do you do?
Let me ask you a question: what are some of the most satisfying and enjoyable aspects of your life? Hopefully one of your answers is "relationships."
Keep in mind that you have many relationships in your life- family, friends, co-workers (both present and past), neighbors, members at your place of worship, just to name a few. The list goes on. These are people with whom you speak daily or weekly or when you see them at the grocery store.
When I think back to the jobs I've had in my career, most of them have come as a result of a referral (via friends or former co-workers). Try this: take-out a pad of paper and write down the names of some people you know who might be helpful with your search. Your being connected to them can be a key stepping stone in finding a job.
So, you've written down a few names, but there are more people out there! If you have a Facebook account, you have many "friends" (some of whom you might even have met!). Whether it is Facebook, or LinkedIn or Twitter or Pinterest, being connected via the Web is a wonderful way to expand your connections! Of these four, the one you might be least familiar with is LinkedIn. It's been referenced to the "Facebook of the professional world." That's because here you can post your resume, search for jobs, and most importantly, get advice from people who are best qualified to help. There are groups on LinkedIn for virtually any type of profession. Groups may involve discussions, polls, even job postings. Find the right groups, and you have another resource for your search and you are expanding your connections.
As a recruiter, I'm happy to give career advice to anyone, even if I have no chance of placing them in a new position. The reason I do this is to expand my reach. Plus, if I direct a person to the right job, they will probably refer me to a friend. That friend might be YOU. The right recruiters will help you as best they can, because in the long run, helping people is what we do and being connected is how we get it done.

It is a real process and a challenge to relocate for a new position. There are many imperative steps to take along the way and you need to cover all your bases. Be sure and research the city, state and county by using all your networks. Your personal and professional networks include family members, friends, coworkers, linkedin and facebook contacts, etc. Do not disregard your dry cleaner, banker, or babysitter. You never know who everyone may know. Be sure and go online to use a salary calculator to estimate your cost of living expenses as well as the state tax structure. This also includes looking into rent estimations, utilities, gas, food expenses, etc. You want to do a complete cost analysis on everything you can think of.
-Be open minded and flexible with employer expectations
-Decide if you are mobile to leave family members such as ailing parents or a any special needs your child may have that are not offered in the new city
-Consider renting current home rather than selling and postpone buying a new home until you are more familiar with locations within the new city
-Budget for deposit on apartment or rental. Have a couple of months expenses and an emergency fund set up
-Go through belongings and downsize, sell, donate have a garage sale to reduce. Be sure to label your boxes so you will know where to locate your possessions.
-Research and go through a reputable large moving company. There are many scams out there and this will avoid any bad experiences. Get a few different quotes as well.
-Research school districts and neighborhoods if you have children. Think about pets as well and the pet deposit requirements.
-Consider commute time, convenience of shopping in relation to where you want to live.
-Stay organized and create a file and timeline for the process. Keep important documents, jewelry and valuables with you at all times.
-Keep in mind the climate when moving. Take old photographs and candles with you as they can be damaged in high heat conditions. Sometimes the truck may sit for a few days in the move process.
-Save all receipts as final travel expenses may be deductable.
-Make sure you are a fit for the new company culture before making such a huge change. Log into social media sites and google the company to find out any information.
-Make a pro and con list to make the right and final decision.
-Prepare yourself for a counter offer from the current employer.

When you go to your mailbox and pull out a few bills, some print ads, and a hand-addressed envelope, which do you open first? Exactly! That hand-addressed envelope wins every time! We do the same thing at work. That little envelope gets our attention before most other mail. So why not stand out in the crowds of e-mail note writers and get your note opened first? Here are a few tips on how to do it best:
Why bother? Thank-you notes demonstrate that you have good manners, an attribute that employer's value. It also shows that you've thought about the position and you are still interested enough to follow up.
What to include? This is your opportunity to follow up on the interview and share your enthusiasm for the position – hiring leaders want to hire someone who really wants the job. It's also your chance to reflect back on the interview and build on that conversation to strengthen your candidacy.
When to send? Whether you decide to mail a note, as suggested, or email one, it's best to get that into the mail the next day. On the other hand, if you know a decision is going to be made within 48 hours you will want to e-mail your note the same-day. Keep in mind that it can appear less genuine if you send it from the car, minutes after the interview, so find the balance that makes sense for you.
How important is the thank-you note? The thank-you note holds more weight with some managers/recruiters, and less with others. Why not put in that extra few minutes of effort to say "thank you", and do something that could positively impact your chances? I'd say it's well-worth it!

Idiots. The genetically flawed Block family (I am serious,the facial dysmorphism is obvious) is at it again backed by loopy Toby Hoover.
Many Ohio CHL holders have out of state licenses for a variety of valid reasons. They mention wider reciprocity as one reason but then quote Hoover as betting that the Ohio resident got a Florida license because they could not get one in Ohio. No Toby. I personally know many Toledo residents with valid Ohio and Florida CHL. I have a valid Ohio and Penn CHL because the Penn CHL covers me in more states.
The sheriff who took the guy's gun are idiots too. Know the law or find another job.

Welcome to
I just got my first GSP, good dog from a good bloodline. The guy i got him from did not spend any puppy time with him as he has 4 other GSP and in his words never took the time to focus on this dog. Now the dog is a year old (almost exactly) and i am starting to work wtih him on trianing to be a good bird dog. I have the 4 volume george hickox DVD and am starting him on birds and intoducing him to guns. then we will begin yard training. the problem i am noticing is that when we do backyard pigeon work the dog isnt pointing. in the field, he will point a little bit but nothing like you would expect. This is my first GSP and my first shot a training a bird dog. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated and very much welcomed. Thank you!
So if i am understanding correctly, it would be wise to get 5 or 6 birds and plant them around a field edge or in a good broom sedge area then bring the dog in, let him flush the birds and chase them after he flushes and then on to the next bird?
Should i allow the dog to see me plant the birds or make it a real hunting scenario?
I am a forester, so he has been going to work with me on a somewhat frequent basis and he is starting to range and become a little more confident in the woods/ field which makes me very happy. I introduced a pigeon the other night and when he got his mouth on that thing he was a changed dog, my wife now calls the pigeons, "dog crack". I am hoping to do a little more pigeon work this weekend, banding off their flight feathers and letting them go and allowing him to chase.
Once question with this, should i be focusing on him returning the bird to me or just keep this a game and not focus on the work just yet? The last time i did this, i let him run with a check cord on him and when he would try and bolt with the bird, i would get the cord and bring him in this way.
Keep the advice coming gentelmen, I am all ears and very much so appreciate it.
To explain my pigeon work further, in watching the hickox video, there is a section where george demonstrates wing locking a pigeon and tossing it 10-15' and letting the dog get the bird. Then once the dog is comfortable with this, you put a rubber band around the pigeons flying feathers and throw the bird int he air, this allows the bird to fly 20-25 yards and the dog chases and catches the bird when it hits the ground. At now point is the dog pointing or jumping the bird but rather just chasing after you toss it. according to george, once this goes well, you would use the same pigeon release method when intorducing the gun.
This DVD is the only guidance I have this far and is what the guy i got the dog from has used on his other 5 dogs and has worked successfully. with that said, i am by no means saying this is the only way. just the only way i have been exposed to. do you think this methodology is not recommended for my age of dog?
very interesting insight. I like the idea of planting a bird or two.
My newest question is...
I have two pigeons (homers). These birds are imprinted on someone elses coop. My question is, what do you think of hobbles or lanyards? would allowing the bird to fly 50' before being downed be instilling the wrong idea for the dog or would this be enough to get the point across to him? The lady who owns the pigeons lives about 45 minutes away and i would have to drive that distance to go pick my birds up.... I am all ears yall!
I wanted to bring all of you up to speed. I have had a hard time finding quail so I took my pigeons to the training field behind my house and placed them on 75' really light lines and anchored the end to the ground. I hid the birds in depressions in the field out of sight and then brought the dog in and let him "hunt". I was really amazed how he responded once he got a feel for what he was supposed to be doing. Initially he walked right by the first pigeon and didnt pay it any mind, then i think it set in and he ran down wind, and started zig zaging back up the field, and BAM, pointed and held point for a good minute. Once he couldnt hold it anymore, he broke and the bird flew. I had a 50' check cord attached to him which i grabbed after he went on point, so i was able to hold him back from grabbing the pigeon mid flight (and he tried). I plan on doing this until i can get my hands on some quail. It was a very proud momment for me, he held point very well, and allowed my to walk from behind him to infront of him and then in between him and the bird and never flinched. I think i might have a bird dog on my hands ladies and gentlemen!!!
Yeah, i am very happy. We worked together last weekend and am planning on working him again this weekend. Like you said, once a week is my plan. My goal is to get him on some quail soon, my biggest fear is to get an awsome pigeon dog that doesnt know what a quail smells like! haha
When you say teach him to hunt, are you implying that i could stick with the two pigeons and increase the field size and distance between birds and let him range to find them? In my mind that was the next step but if you see a fatal flaw with this please let me know.
No flaw in that except for the fact that you will need to read the dog or find a mentor who can look at him, watch him, see him search, range, body language, etc. and read what he needs. To make a birddog the dog needs much much more than to point and hold birds. He must learn obedience, learn to hunt for you, but at the same time learn to range and be independent enough that he searches as far and wide as is needed in the areas where you will hunt. He must learn to hunt, meaning...use the wind properly, hunt to the front, turn when you want him to or when his experience teaches him he needs to to hunt cover properly, to seek game, to track enough so that he can hold birds but won't flush, etc. etc. Judging AKC hunting tests, I've seen a ton of dogs that will point and hold birds but have little or no desire, little range, and must be hacked to birds. Owners feel that if their dog points, then they should be considered an effective hunting dog. But, if the dog ranges 20 yards, is always looking for direction, and has to be directed to game, the dog is useless, other than as a food sucking pet. Maybe enough for some.
I can't answer if you can train a dog with two birds. Depends on what you are wanting to get out of the dog. Dogs needs birds. They need experience and experiences. They need situations and different types of cover, terrain, etc. IMHO, you need to find at bare minimum, a hunting preserve to get the dog into birds, and really, you need to plan a time to spend some time putting the dog on wild birds if at all possible. Birds don't make birddogs, WILD birds make birddogs.

Bingo! Kudos to Mike Lewis for the usual insight on Wall Street in particular, but human nature in general (eg the sense in which the difference betweeen millions and billions is meaningless)...Hub Blog especially liked Lewis's observation about how focusing on larger abstractions is a way of obscuring focus on "small payments to the guy down the street who doesn't deserve them." Substitute "people who borrowed money to buy homes" with "state workers who game the pension system," and you have the AIG and state-hack parallel again. ... Reader No. 1 also adds:
Another serious diagnosis of the leadership problem in DC. I think it's pretty clear he's a fox who'd like to be a hedgehog but Peggy has special insights.Update -- Hub Blog forgot to mention another AIG-bonus/state-hack parallel: The argument that those who created a mess are needed to clean up the mess.

Repairs were under way Friday at the Salvation Army's Family Store in Torrance, a day after a customer drove through the front glass doors.
Police said the 54-year-old female motorist was driving on a suspended license when she crashed into the store at 4310 Pacific Coast Highway at 6 p.m. Thursday.
The Torrance driver suffered minor injuries. No one inside was hurt.
The driver said in an interview that she had only owned her red Ford Focus for a few days and was unfamiliar with it.
On her way to buy a gift at the Salvation Army store, the woman pulled into a space but did not turn off the car.
"I was looking in my purse for my wallet and I got nervous and I pushed the wrong side," she said. "You have to be very careful when you get the new car."
The driver said she had just come from her doctor and had just used a nasal spray for sinus problems.
"This is something weird in your head," she said.
The woman said she was not seriously hurt and did not require hospitalization.
She said she loves the Salvation Army store, but might not return for awhile. She was glad no one was hurt and felt bad about what happened.
"I'm happy with all the people there," she said. "It could have been worse."
She said she also planned to renew her driver's license.
The store was open for business Friday while repairs had begun.

The Ascent, September 14, 1996
Written and Photographed By Liesl Clark
The Ascent |
Digging in Thin Air
The Mummy's Journey
Preserving the Past
Arrival in Arequipa
Today marks the beginning of an extraordinary archaeological adventure in the Cordillera mountains of Peru. As we fly over the landscape we try to pinpoint Mt. Sara Sara, our ultimate destination and home for the next month. We're arriving from points around the globe to join Dr. Johan Reinhard and his team of Peruvian archaeologists in a search for 500-year old sacrificial sites where Inca children may have been sacrificed.
If brown were your favourite color, this would be the most beautiful place on earth. Alluvial fans, or dried-up runoff stream beds, creep down the parched mountain sides like fingers reaching toward the brown earth beneath the snow clad peaks. Long dark shadows and the blue sky offer the only contrast to this brown expanse called the Cordillera Occidental, "the Western Range."
Ampato, Misti, and Hualca Hualca are the names of the sacred mountains—indeed they are gods themselves—which surround Arequipa, the second largest city in Peru.
We come in for landing and are met by our Expedition Manager, Matt Wells, and BBC HORIZON Producer Tim Haines. I am travelling with the film crew: cameraman Edgar Boyles, sound recordist James Brundige, and assistant cameraman Kent Harvey. It's been an all- night journey from our respective homes in the United States to this mountain city at 8,000 feet.
The search for sacrificial sites will take place where few people have been: 18,000 feet and higher, on the tops of Andean peaks. Mt. Sara Sara is 18,070 feet above sea level and by Reinhard's estimations "is, according to local legend, the second most sacred peak in the region." He believes this to be the case because of the number of people who live near Sara Sara, which sits alone in the Ayacucho Department north of Arequipa. In its relation to nearby villages, Sara Sara is the only peak that dominates its region. It provides melt-off streams that feed the local rivers, and is believed to influence the weather.
Before heading to Sara Sara, a 12-18 hour dusty bus ride, we have a day to buy local produce and cooking equipment for the expedition. Zoilo and Genero, our cooks and camp coordinators, head directly for the city's main market where one can buy anything from quinoa, a grain grown at high altitude, to dried frogs for frog soup. Dried llama fetuses, "used by priests as sacred offerings" says Zoilo, sit in a booth next to a vendor selling every kind of hat imaginable. Fruits in all colours and forms gleam in the shafts of sun that poke through the partially covered roof. To buy coca leaves for tea we have to go to another market that several people inform us is "very dangerous—they will slash your backpacks with knives for what's inside." Zoilo and Genero, who are from Cuzco, heed the warnings and decide that Genero, wearing an expensive backpack, should stay with us, and Zoilo should go to the market alone, carrying nothing to entice the thieves. Coca, which in a tea has a very soothing effect on the stomach, is also a stimulant that some people chew with the mineral lime.

Nnotebook: big basketball Saturday at Montclair High School
"For my girls who want to play at the next level, it's a good preview," Brown said. "It's a totally different game playing with a shot clock, and they got a little taste of that."
cutoff chat
As always, the first Saturday in February is the final day that games count towards NJSIAA Tournament qualification. This year, however, there's a twist: because the state instituted a power-point seeding formula (similar to the one used to determine state football brackets), only a team's first 16 games will count for seeding purposes.
All four teams from Montclair and MKA are assured of above-.500 records by the end of Saturday night. The Montclair boys (12-4) and girls (10-6) have already reached the 16-game mark, while the MKA girls (9-6) will get there after tonight's Essex County Tournament game against Newark Central. The MKA boys (8-6) will only have played 15 games by Saturday.
While there are still a lot of points up for grabs over the next three days, the most up-to-date power-point standings available to The Times (including games played Tuesday night, Jan. 29), list the MHS boys as the No. 3 seed in North 1, Group IV; the Mountie girls are in seventh place. The MKA boys are currently sixth in Non-Public, North B, while the Cougar girls are fourth.

While appearing at PaleyFest on Wednesday night, the production team and cast from "The Big Bang Theory" joked as they celebrated the late-coming success of their show.
Even though "Big Bang" is currently the second most-watched show on television, this wasn't always the case. In fact, when the sitcom made its debut at the PaleyFest in 2009 it didn't even place in the domestic top 40 category, the Examiner reported. The cast and crew thank syndication for the significant increase in viewership.
When local stations and cable networks began airing re-runs of the show in 2011, it was hard to turn on the TV and not catch en episode of "Big Bang" playing. Slowly but surely the show built up a loyal fan base that currently brings more than 20 million viewers per episode and turned the show into the most coveted TV spot for advertisers.
Jim Parsons, who plays genius Sheldon Cooper on the show, still has a hard time grasping the show's popularity.
Co-creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, who also attended PaleyFest, looked to keep the audience intrigued by hinting to an upcoming plot-twist without giving too much away.

Oklahoma State basketball notebook: Coach Travis Ford said Cowboys must regain defensive identity
Opponents are starting to reveal some cracks in the Cowboys' defense.
Through much of this basketball season, Oklahoma State's signature in success focused on one end of the floor: defense.
The Cowboys were holding teams to low shooting percentages and low point totals and racking up wins, standing 10-1 heading into the Gonzaga game.
Since then, with OSU losing three of four, opponents are revealing cracks in the Cowboys defense.
Gonzaga (48 percent) and Kansas State (45 percent) produced the best shooting marks against OSU this season, while Oklahoma (43 percent) ranked fourth.
"We've got to get better with our defense right now," said Cowboys coach Travis Ford. "We can't just lean on, 'We were a good defensive team. We're supposed to be good at defense.' Nobody cares about that right now. They couldn't care less what you were.
"We've got to get back to having that edge defensively and that be our identity."
In Saturday's 77-68 Bedlam loss, OSU surrendered easy layups early, contributing to the Sooners surging to leads of 7-0, 21-10 and 32-18 in the first half.
"We kind of let them continue to do what they wanted to do," said Cowboys guard and captain Markel Brown. "We didn't rebound the ball well, at certain times. They got good offensive shots off the offensive rebound.
"They played harder. And they did what they needed to do to win."
Effort was a talking point for Ford with his team after the game and again early this week when the team returned to practice.
On the bright side, effort is easier to fix than a lack of skills or smarts. And the Cowboys know they're capable, reflecting back on when they were thriving defensively during the exhibition tour of Spain and at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off, with hard and tough play.
"You just can't come into a game thinking a scouting report is going to do it for you," Ford said. "You've got to compete. You've got to compete from the time that ball's thrown up."
Brian Williams, a starter before breaking his left wrist in a freak preseason injury, continues to make progress in his recovery and anticipated return.

Our take on warlord entrepreneurs, such as it was, gathered a "must read" posting from the Council on Foreign Relations, we were pleased to note. And it's likely that readers of CFR pages grabbed our report to publish a couple of pieces on El Chapo Guzman in Mexico, who we referred to at the end of the report:
As long as institutional reforms lag behind, every 'win' for security forces creates a more atomized and violent set of drug trafficking organizations. This is the pattern that explains why 2010 was so violent in spite of numerous successes by security forces in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. As this pattern repeats itself moving forward, leaders in Latin America may find themselves at the precipice of a new phase of evolution of the criminal system, where successful warlords, such as Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the leader of the Sinaloa Federation, seek to find sustainable power beyond the criminal realm, in the political world, where the transition from criminal king to political king maker is relatively swift to complete and nearly impossible to reverse.
In this piece, we presented four key questions, pasted below. Share your thoughts for what the answers might look like in the comments section.
- How do governments exploit these weaknesses in individual terrorist and criminal groups to hasten their decline or disintegration?
- Can fear of a brief and awful life convince enough entrepreneurs to avoid the criminal route?
- Do government operations to destroy individual groups actually make the problem worse by allowing the system to adapt more quickly?
- Do governments speed up the evolutionary adaptation process of the criminal system by undermining the individual groups within it?

I have been uneasy and on edge since my friend Sunday wrote a post about the disappearance on Mother's Day of a nine year old autistic little girl named Mikaela Lynch. Everything I read about Mikaela made me think of Will. She was on the severe end of the spectrum, had very little speech, and liked to be naked.
And if you notice, I say "was" because sadly Mikaela was found. In a creek.
And my heart is broken.
This family is going through unspeakable loss and there are those who truly don't understand what it means to raise and then lose a child like Mikaela.
Will has gotten out of the house 3 times without us knowing.
THREE times that he was on his own and none of us were there to keep him safe.
He doesn't know to look both ways before crossing the street.
He doesn't know not to walk in front of a moving car.
He can't give our address if someone stops him and asks where he lives.
He wouldn't even answer his name if he was asked.
And yet, he's been on his own.
Three times.
Even when I think of it now,
my heart quickens and I am taken right back to the panic I felt.
My sweet, innocent, loving little boy,
my world,
was missing.
But we were lucky,
VERY lucky,
and we found him safe all 3 times.
Mikaela's family was not so lucky.
And I imagine myself in their place multiple times a day,
every day,
because it is just a matter of time before another little child like her wanders off.
Not if, but when.
And the worst of it,
believe it or not,
isn't the loss her family is feeling,
but instead it's the blame that the media has put on her family, who I can assure you, are already beating themselves up, I'm sure wondering what else could they possibly have done to keep her safe.
And that's the trick of it.
As much as I think Will is like a baby,
he is also SO smart,
and if he wants something badly enough,
he will get it,
he will find a way.
And I spend EVERY SINGLE DAY checking locks,
closing gates,
making sure someone is with him 24/7,
shouting out constantly "where's Will?"
just so I can be reassured there are eyes watching him.
He is my world.And I just can not imagine my life without him.
After hearing about Mikaela, I remembered that my friend Carmel is the executive director of Paw Sensitive Pet Service Solutions. She had told me about her company before and for whatever reason, I just hadn't thought it was for Will.
I finally took a closer look and realized it truly is and what a peace of mind it would give me knowing Will would have a dog trained on his scent, who would keep him tethered when walking, and would keep him safely in his bed while sleeping.
And so we are going to be applying for a dog
to have along with the locks, the gates, the child locator on our keys, and his safety tattoos.
And maybe we will be able to keep him safe…
don't judge Mikaela's family.
What they need right now is love, comfort, and peace that passes understanding.
If Mikaela touched her family's lives in any way close to how Will touches ours,
their loss is suffocating.
Please go to my friend Sunday's blog, Adventures in Extreme Parenthood, to read other posts by members of the Autism and Special Needs community that are coming together today to honor Mikaela Lynch.
