IUCN Lao PDR recently supported a consultation workshop on investment trends and actors in the Lao rubber sector, working with the National Economic Research Institute.
Lao government agencies, civil society and research institutes came together to discuss the findings of collaborative research on investment trends in the Lao rubber sector and linkages to the Vietnamese and Chinese rubber industries.
The participants also shared ideas and strategies for the more sustainable development of rubber in Lao PDR.
The workshop was organized as part of the "Rubber in the GMS" research project, which is supported by Sumernet, the Sustainable Mekong Research Network. This project, involving parallel research conducted by IUCN Lao PDR, NAFRI and ERI, aims to enhance the understanding of current trade and investment trends, as well as of the social, economic and environmental impacts of rubber development in Lao PDR.
The research report for the IUCN component of project is currently being finalized and will be released in January 2009.
For more information on the "Rubber in the GMS" project and the report, please contact Ms Charlotte Hicks, IUCN Lao PDR, at [email protected] or +856-21-216401.

Harper has 4 RBIs, leaves early in Nats' 11-1 win
WASHINGTON (AP) The Washington Nationals' game Friday night provided a good example of the way things have gone for them during the early part of the season.
On a night when they pounded out 17 hits and posted their most lopsided win, there was still cause for concern.
Bryce Harper drove in a career-high four runs, but left early with a jammed left thumb, and Stephen Strasburg pitched seven scoreless innings as the Nationals defeated the San Diego Padres 11-1.
"It feels all right. You know, pretty swollen right now, pretty tight," Harper said.
Harper drove in a run with an infield single in the first and had a bases-loaded triple in the third. Following his headfirst dive into third base on the triple, Harper flexed his left wrist.
"I slid into the bag and I caught it a little bit," he said of his thumb. "Went into the dugout, swung a couple in the cage, felt fine. Went out to the outfield, it swelled up a little bit. So (up 6-0) I thought we were in a good spot, and (manager) Matt (Williams) did too, so I got in and got some treatment on it."
He was replaced in left field by Nate McLouth to start the fifth inning.
Williams said X-rays were negative and Harper would be re-evaluated Saturday.
Strasburg (2-2) allowed seven hits and walked two, but struck out 11. He turned in his second straight effective start, lowering his ERA from 5.33 to 4.24.
"I'm just trying to make quality pitches and not necessarily be overaggressive, but throwing the heater down the middle and challenge them," Strasburg said.
Anthony Rendon had a career-high four hits for Washington.
San Diego's Robbie Erlin (1-3) allowed eight runs and 13 hits over 5 1-3 innings. He struck out three and walked two.
"It starts with the fastball, because that's the pitch you are going to throw most often as a starting pitcher. If you're not locating, you're going to be in trouble," San Diego manager Bud Black said. "That's what happened tonight."
Everth Cabrera had three hits for the Padres.
One night after going 0 for 16 with runners in scoring position in a 4-3 loss in 12 innings, the Nationals bounced back by going 7 for 17, including 5 for 7 over the first three innings as they built a 6-0 lead.
"The theme's the same as it always is," Williams said. "We just try to give ourselves as many opportunities as we can."
Harper, who came in with five RBIs in his first 21 games, nearly doubled that.
With runners on first and second and two outs in the first, Ian Desmond lined Erlin's first pitch to right-center for a double, scoring Rendon. Harper followed with an infield single up the middle to make it 2-0.
In the third, with one out and the bases loaded, Harper drilled a 3-2 pitch off the wall in right.
Three runners scored and Harper, under increased scrutiny since his benching last Saturday for not running out a grounder to the pitcher, never hesitated and got in ahead of the relay.
"I saw the ball hit and it kind of died off that fence, so I was felt like I was chugging it out of the box a little bit, thinking three of course," he said.
He scored on a single by Jose Lobaton.
Pitching against his hometown team, Strasburg allowed at least one baserunner in six of his seven innings, but the Padres couldn't get a timely hit.
NOTES: The start of the game was delayed 57 minutes by rain. … Washington is 10-1 when scoring four or more runs. … The Padres placed 3B Chase Headley (right calf strain) on the 15-day disabled list and optioned INF/OF Tommy Medica to Triple-A El Paso. They promoted INF Jace Peterson from Double-A San Antonio and RHP Kevin Quackenbush from their top minor league team. Each made his major league debut. Peterson collected his first hit, a single off Strasburg in the seventh, and Quackenbush allowed two runs in 1 2-3 innings. … Nationals C Wilson Ramos (hamate bone fracture) took batting practice Friday and will begin defensive drills and light catching this weekend. … San Diego's Andrew Cashner (2-2, 2.10) opposes Tanner Roark (1-0, 3.80) on Saturday.

Just two days after Christmas, a blizzard has left travelers in the Northeast United States feeling anything but merry.
Holiday travel survival guide
Airlines have canceled more than 5,000 flights, and the powerful storm has shut down La Guardia, John F Kennedy International and Newark International airports, stranding hundreds of holiday travelers.Story: Flights resume at New York airports
Runways were expected to reopen this evening at several major airports in the Northeast. Still, hundreds of thousands of passengers missed flights Sunday and Monday into and out of Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
"It's the passengers that have already been waiting that are going to be waiting a long time," said Genevieve Shaw Brown, senior editor at Travelocity. "Everyone who has been stranded needs to fit into available seats."
Seats are already scarce because of the busy holiday season, and airlines are operating fewer flights than they did before the recession.
"It usually takes three to five days to re-accommodate everyone," said George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com. "Many passengers decide to get a refund and not travel."
Video: What to do when you're stranded (on this page)
'Cool heads will prevail'
Boston's Logan Airport spokesman Phil Orlandella said airlines were saying that rebooking could drag into Friday — the start of another holiday weekend.
Patience might be the most effective tool for travelers who are stranded. "Employees are doing their best, airports are doing their best," said Glen MacDonnell, AAA's director of travel services. "Cool heads will prevail."Slideshow: The East Coast digs out (on this page)
Airlines move planes away from the path of big storms to prevent them from being stranded. Now the airlines have to get those planes back to the Northeast before they can fly stranded passengers home. They may also have to ferry pilots and flight attendants into the affected areas.

Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
With teams using more than 100 unique apparatuses to launch globular projectiles a half-mile or more, the 27th annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin event is our pick as November's Weird Festival of the Month.
- Airports, airlines work hard to return your lost items
- Expert: Tourist hordes threaten Sistine Chapel's art
- MGM Grand wants Las Vegas guests to Stay Well
- Report: Airlines collecting $36.1B in fees this year
- Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
American Airlines spokesman Ed Martelle said if the weather clears by Tuesday, the airline can resume a normal schedule by Wednesday. He declined to say how long stuck passengers might wait for an empty seat.
"Any airline scheduler will tell you it's like playing with a jigsaw puzzle where all the pieces keep changing shape," he said. "In some cases we can't give them a new seat because we don't know" when one will be available.
Stick around the airport
"As long as flights are going out, there's always a chance — however slim — that you'll get that last seat on the plane, so if I were desperate to fly I'd stick around the airport and keep trying," said Hobica.
On Monday, American canceled 252 flights and sister carrier American Eagle scratched another 194. Delta Air Lines canceled 700 flights, US Airways canceled 690 including regional flights, and Southwest dropped 188. United spokesperson Mike Trevino said the airline canceled 175 flights.

"Airlines are not obligated to put you up in a hotel or to feed you because of weather," said AAA's MacDonnell.
"You need to be as flexible as you possibly can," added Travelocity's Shaw Brown. "[Travelers] have to suck it up and pay for it. Airlines are not responsible for things that are out of their control."
Fewer flights, more passengers
U.S. airlines have not fully replaced all the flights they eliminated in 2008 and 2009 to save money and fuel. Planes are packed with more passengers — occupancy averaged around 80 percent in November and was expected to be higher during the holidays. That means fewer empty seats the rest of the week to accommodate people whose flights were canceled Sunday and Monday.
Airline reservation centers were kept busy fielding calls from displaced travelers, some of whom reported being put on hold for more than an hour. Continental tweeted that it was taking as many calls as it could handle, asking passengers to be patient. American said it called in extra employees to staff the phone lines.
Some travelers were settling in for a long and uncomfortable stay at the airport.
At New York's Kennedy Airport, 22-year-old Eric Schorr and other Columbia University students boarded an El Al flight to Israel Sunday afternoon, only to get stuck on the tarmac when it became clear the plane wouldn't take off.
"They had served us dinner, they were giving us drinks, trying to keep passengers calm, cool and collected," said Schorr, who was told he would be put on another flight Monday night.
"It wasn't as tense as you might have thought," he said, but added, "People are exhausted — they want to get home."
Travel writer Jason Cochran has been at the airport since 4 p.m. Sunday. He says he boarded his flight to London and was then stuck on the plane for hours before the flight was canceled.
He hasn't been able to get back to his Manhattan home because there's no way to leave the airport. Cochran said he's only seen one taxi, and the driver wanted $100 to take him home.

"Mr. Beveridge says the origin of the name is to be found in 'Beverege,' the name of an island in the Severn referred to by Florence of Worcester as a retreat of the Danes during a revolt of the English [in 1041]. The name, he correctly says, means 'Beaver island,' from Old English befer or beofer, and ig or ige, island." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Black, George F., The Surnames of Scotland Their Origin, Meaning and History. New York: New York Public Library, 1946. Print. (ISBN 0-87104-172-3) Later known as Bevere Island, this island became a refuge once again during the Black Death.
Camden notes: "The existence of the beaver in Britain within historical memory seems proved by such names as Beverege, Beverley, perhaps but less likely Beverstone in Gloucestershire." He speaks of beavers in his time in the Teifi, but in Teifi only. Another source noted the name was derived from "Beferige, i. e. 'the Beaver's edge,' Several other local names in Befer, in that collection, show that the beaver was an inhabitant of this island in Saxon times." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print.
While the name Beverege may have arisen in the southwest of England, it is generally associated with Yorkshire and Scotland.
The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 list the following: Hugh Beverach, Cambridgeshire; Ralph Beverache, Cambridgeshire; Agnes Beverach, Cambridgeshire; Halter Beverage, Lincolnshire; and Thomas Beverage, Yorkshire. [4]CITATION[CLOSE]
Bardsley, C.W, A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames: With Special American Instances. Wiltshire: Heraldry Today, 1901. Print. (ISBN 0-900455-44-6) Some of the family moved north into Northumberland and into Scotland about the year 1200.
In Scotland it was a name very difficult for the Scottish tongue, pronunciation and spellings became numerous. Here they settled in St. Andrews in 1302 where Walter Beverage is named as juror on an inquest at St. Andrews. Years later, Henry Beveragh was witness in Paisley, 1504 and a decree against Alexander Bauerage is recorded in 1531. David Beverage was cup-bearer to James V in 1534. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Don't you dare diet: Don't even consider it, or you'll want to pig out.
Don't gain any more weight. You read the headlines — you know extra pounds cause heart disease, diabetes, some cancers and more.
Don't, don't, don't. What to do? Here's what I have learned: It really is simple, and you will like it. Don't think too long. Get up and move.
Today I went to my city recreation department movement class. Linda, a new class member, joined our group. An ice blue scarf covered her white hair. This day, Marilyn, our energetic teacher, skipped her usual speech, "Move at your own level; there are no right or wrong steps." Instead, she hit play on her boombox and started right out, brisk forward step, then back.
I turned to see Linda, panic in her eyes.
"Don't worry," I whispered to her, "the moves are gentle. We do what we can."
"I'm weak — too much time on the couch," Linda answered. She danced the first number, sat down on a folding chair and moved her arms to the second song but returned to the floor to dance again later.
When class ended, she told me she liked the drum number best. "That got me going!" she said, as we walked out of class together.
Linda's smile and her words, "See you next week," told it all. Her couch potato-ness had stolen her energy, but moving made her happy. She'll be stronger next week.
That's my whole message, almost. OK, so dancing's not for you. Well, what about walking? Walking is for everybody. So set that alarm. Before the daytime crowds take over, go for a walk. Find a location where you will be safe and comfortable. Work up to a half-hour one way and a half-hour back.
Now, go home and eat breakfast, have your coffee and enjoy a holier-than-thou attitude. You earned it. You completed your workout while everyone else snored.
And a word about food: Eat a lot of it. I do. I am food-centered. I will never change. Over the years I've learned to humor myself. Here's what I've learned:
1. Move — I already said it. Calories in versus calories out. The more I move, the more I can eat without being a lardo.
2. Eat a lot — I already said it, but here's what I eat: oatmeal for breakfast, a slice of whole-grain bread with lunch and dinner, a piece of fruit with every single meal, small portions of meat or no meat, lots of fish and even more vegetables, especially greens. Eat your potatoes baked or boiled, not fried.
3. Skip all sugar drinks and all diet drinks. Pounds will roll off and you will be able to eat more.
You won't follow my advice 100% — I know I don't. If you order one of those 3,000-calorie coffee drinks, enjoy every sip, but don't get another one for a month. It's not the one pigout that hurts you. It's the months of mostly good eating that help you.

Most backup strategies start with a complete backup of the MySQL server, from which you can restore all databases and tables. After you do one full backup, you might do incremental backups (which are smaller and faster) for the next several backup jobs. Periodically, you then do another full backup to begin the cycle again.
This section outlines some of the considerations for making this most basic kind of backup. Because a full backup can take longer and produce larger backup files then other kinds of backups, your decisions about speed, capacity, and convenience are especially important for this part of the backup strategy.
For examples showing the commands to make a full backup, see Section 3.2.1, "Backing Up an Entire MySQL Instance".
For clarity, the examples in this manual typically show
command-line options to demonstrate connection parameters and
other information that might be the same for each backup job.
For convenience and consistency, you can include these options
in the
[mysqlbackup] section of the MySQL
configuration file that you pass to the
mysqlbackup command;
mysqlbackup also picks them up from the
[mysqld] section if they are present. For
example, relying on the port information in the configuration
file avoids the need to edit your backup scripts if the database
instance switches to a different port.
For convenience, the
--with-timestamp option creates
uniquely named subdirectories under the backup directory to hold
the output from each backup job.The timestamped subdirectories
make it simpler to establish retention periods, for example by
removing or archiving backup data past a certain age. This
option is NOT set on default.
If you do use a single backup directory (that is, if you omit
--with-timestamp option), either specify a
new unique directory name for each backup job, or specify the
--force option to overwrite existing
backup files.
With the
--incremental-base option, as part of
each incremental backup command, you specify the directory
containing the previous backup. To make the directory names
predictable, you might prefer to leave out the
--with-timestamp option and instead generate a
sequence of directory names as part of your backup script.
If your InnoDB data volume is small, or if your database is so busy that a high percentage of data changes between backups, you might run a full backup each time. Typically, you can save time and storage space by running periodic full backups, and in between running several incremental backups, as described in Section 3.3.2, "Making an Incremental Backup".
Doing a compressed backup can save considerable space, allowing
you to keep more sets of backup data on a single server. The
tradeoff is that you need extra storage space (to hold both
compressed and uncompressed data) while preparing the backup to
be restored, and in an emergency you might find you do not have
spare storage space or the time to uncompress a huge backup. For
that reason, compression is more practical for data that is not
urgently needed, or while the backup is in transit to another
server, where it will be uncompressed for the
apply-log phase.

6 Where has your beloved gone,
most beautiful of women?
Which way did your beloved turn,
that we may look for him with you?
2 My beloved has gone down to his garden,
to the beds of spices,
to browse in the gardens
and to gather lilies.
3 I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine;
he browses among the lilies.
4 You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling,
as lovely as Jerusalem,
as majestic as troops with banners.
5 Turn your eyes from me;
they overwhelm me.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from Gilead.
6 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin,
not one of them is missing.
7 Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.
8 Sixty queens there may be,
and eighty concubines,
and virgins beyond number;
9 but my dove, my perfect one, is unique,
the only daughter of her mother,
the favorite of the one who bore her.
The young women saw her and called her blessed;
the queens and concubines praised her.
10 Who is this that appears like the dawn,
fair as the moon, bright as the sun,
majestic as the stars in procession?
11 I went down to the grove of nut trees
to look at the new growth in the valley,
to see if the vines had budded
or the pomegranates were in bloom.
12 Before I realized it,
my desire set me among the royal chariots of my people.[a]
13 Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
come back, come back, that we may gaze on you!
Why would you gaze on the Shulammite
as on the dance of Mahanaim?[b]
7 [c]How beautiful your sandaled feet,
O prince's daughter!
Your graceful legs are like jewels,
the work of an artist's hands.
2 Your navel is a rounded goblet
that never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
encircled by lilies.
3 Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon
by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
looking toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel.
Your hair is like royal tapestry;
the king is held captive by its tresses.
6 How beautiful you are and how pleasing,
my love, with your delights!
7 Your stature is like that of the palm,
and your breasts like clusters of fruit.
8 I said, "I will climb the palm tree;
I will take hold of its fruit."
May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine,
the fragrance of your breath like apples,
9 and your mouth like the best wine.
May the wine go straight to my beloved,
flowing gently over lips and teeth.[d]
10 I belong to my beloved,
and his desire is for me.
11 Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside,
let us spend the night in the villages.[e]
12 Let us go early to the vineyards
to see if the vines have budded,
if their blossoms have opened,
and if the pomegranates are in bloom—
there I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes send out their fragrance,
and at our door is every delicacy,
both new and old,
that I have stored up for you, my beloved.
8 If only you were to me like a brother,
who was nursed at my mother's breasts!
Then, if I found you outside,
I would kiss you,
and no one would despise me.
2 I would lead you
and bring you to my mother's house—
she who has taught me.
I would give you spiced wine to drink,
the nectar of my pomegranates.
3 His left arm is under my head
and his right arm embraces me.
4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.
5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness
leaning on her beloved?
Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother conceived you,
there she who was in labor gave you birth.
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy[f] unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.[g]
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one's house for love,
it[h] would be utterly scorned.
8 We have a little sister,
and her breasts are not yet grown.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
we will build towers of silver on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
10 I am a wall,
and my breasts are like towers.
Thus I have become in his eyes
like one bringing contentment.
11 Solomon had a vineyard in Baal Hamon;
he let out his vineyard to tenants.
Each was to bring for its fruit
a thousand shekels[i] of silver.
12 But my own vineyard is mine to give;
the thousand shekels are for you, Solomon,
and two hundred[j] are for those who tend its fruit.
13 You who dwell in the gardens
with friends in attendance,
let me hear your voice!
14 Come away, my beloved,
and be like a gazelle
or like a young stag
on the spice-laden mountains.
4 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. 3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces[a] of the world. 4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.[b] 6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba,[c] Father." 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces[d]? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? 10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! 11 I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.
12 I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong. 13 As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you, 14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself. 15 Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them. 18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you. 19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you, 20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.
24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written:
"Be glad, barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
shout for joy and cry aloud,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband."[e]
28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29 At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. 30 But what does Scripture say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son."[f] 31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.

Cuban expected to testify Thursday in lawsuit
DALLAS — Mark Cuban is expected to testify Thursday in the government's insider trading lawsuit against him, which could come down to whether jurors believe the billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner's account of a 2004 phone call.
Cuban is likely to say that he never promised to refrain from selling his shares in an Internet company after learning news that would cause their value to fall.
The CEO of the Canadian search-engine company says Cuban agreed at the start of the phone call that he would be learning confidential information. When Cuban learned about Mamma.com Inc.'s plan to issue more stock — lowering the value of Cuban's 6 percent stake — he got angry.
"Now I'm screwed. I can't sell," Cuban said, according to Guy Faure, whose testimony was recorded in late 2011 and played Wednesday for the jury in U.S. district court in Dallas.
The Securities and Exchange Commission says the comment is a key admission that Cuban knew he couldn't trade on inside information. But he went ahead and unloaded his 600,000 shares anyway, before the company publicly announced the stock offering. The SEC says Cuban avoided $750,000 in losses, and it wants him to pay the money back plus a penalty.
The SEC filed a civil lawsuit; Cuban was not charged with a crime.
Cuban says he never uttered the "Now I'm screwed" comment, and his lawyers attacked Faure's credibility. They played excerpts from his testimony in which he admitted that he didn't swear other investors to confidentiality, and he was often unable to recall details of conversations with them.
"I don't recall exact words of all my phone conversations seven years ago," Faure said.
Also, Judge Sidney Fitzwater let Cuban's lawyers introduce evidence that they believe suggests that Faure changed his story about Cuban after the SEC closed an investigation into trading in Mamma.com stock. SEC lawyer Jan Folena protested vehemently, saying that Faure would have no chance to rebut the evidence, having already testified by video.
"He is the key witness," Folena argued to the judge. "It's his word versus Mark Cuban's."

Finding fles in Unix can be an exercise in frustration for a novice user. Here's how to soften the learning curve.
Remember the first time you installed a Unix system? Once you successfully booted to a command prompt, I bet your first thought was, "Now what?" or possibly, "Okay, where is everything?" I'm also pretty sure your first foray into man find wasn't all that enlightening.
How can you as an administrator make it easier for your users to find things? First, introduce them to the built-in commands. Then, add a few tricks of your own to soften the learning curve.
2.2.1 Finding Program Paths
Every user should become aware of the three w's: which, whereis, and whatis. (Personally, I'd like to see some why and when commands, but that's another story.)
Use which to find the path to a program. Suppose you've just installed xmms and wonder where it went:
% which xmms /usr/X11R6/bin/xmms
Better yet, if you were finding out the pathname because you wanted to use it in a file, save yourself a step:
% echo `which xmms` >> somefile
Remember to use the backticks (`), often found on the far left of the keyboard on the same key as the tilde (~). If you instead use the single quote (') character, usually located on the right side of the keyboard on the same key as the double quote ("), your file will contain the echoed string which xmms instead of the desired path.
The user's current shell will affect how which's switches work. Here is an example from the C shell:
% which -a xmms -a: Command not found. /usr/X11R6/bin/xmms % which which which: shell built-in command.
This is a matter of which which the user is using. Here, the user used the which which is built into the C shell and doesn't support the options used by the which utility. Where then is that which? Try the whereis command:
% whereis -b which which: /usr/bin/which
Here, I used -b to search only for the binary. Without any switches, whereis will display the binary, the manpage path, and the path to the original sources.
If your users prefer to use the real which command instead of the shell version and if they are only interested in seeing binary paths, consider adding these lines to /usr/share/skel/dot.cshrc [Hack #9] :
alias which /usr/bin/which -a alias whereis whereis -b
The -a switch will list all binaries with that name, not just the first binary found.
2.2.2 Finding Commands
How do you proceed when you know what it is that you want to do, but have no clue which commands are available to do it? I know I clung to the whatis command like a life preserver when I was first introduced to Unix. For example, when I needed to know how to set up PPP:
% whatis ppp i4bisppp(4) - isdn4bsd synchronous PPP over ISDN B-channel network driver ng_ppp(4) - PPP protocol netgraph node type ppp(4) - point to point protocol network interface ppp(8) - Point to Point Protocol (a.k.a. user-ppp) pppctl(8) - PPP control program pppoed(8) - handle incoming PPP over Ethernet connections pppstats(8) - print PPP statistics
On the days I had time to satisfy my curiosity, I tried this variation:
% whatis "(1)"
That will show all of the commands that have a manpage in section 1. If you're rusty on your manpage sections, whatis intro should refresh your memory.
2.2.3 Finding Words
The previous commands are great for finding binaries and manpages, but what if you want to find a particular word in one of your own text files? That requires the notoriously user-unfriendly find command. Let's be realistic. Even with all of your Unix experience, you still have to dig into either the manpage or a good book whenever you need to find something. Can you really expect novice users to figure it out?
To start with, the regular old invocation of find will find filenames, but not the words within those files. We need a judicious use of grep to accomplish that. Fortunately, find's -exec switch allows it to use other utilities, such as grep, without forking another process.
Start off with a find command that looks like this:
% find . -type f -exec grep "word" { } \;
This invocation says to start in the current directory (.), look through files, not directories (-type f), while running the grep command (-exec grep) in order to search for the word word. Note that the syntax of the -exec switch always resembles:
-exec command with_its_parameters { } \;
What happens if I search the files in my home directory for the word alias?
% find . -type f -exec grep "alias" { } \; alias h history 25 alias j jobs -l Antialiasing=true Antialiasing arguments=-sDEVICE=x11 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=2 -dMaxBitmap=10000000 (proc-arg 0 "antialiasing" "Apply antialiasing (TRUE/FALSE)") (proc-arg 0 "antialiasing" "Apply antialiasing (TRUE/FALSE)")
While it's nice to see that find successfully found the word alias in my home directory, there's one slight problem. I have no idea which file or files contained my search expression! However, adding /dev/null to that command will fix that:
# find . -type f -exec grep "alias" /dev/null { } \; ./.cshrc:alias h history 25 ./.cshrc:alias j jobs -l ./.kde/share/config/kghostviewrc:Antialiasing=true ./.kde/share/config/kghostviewrc:Antialiasing arguments=-sDEVICE=x11 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=2 -dMaxBitmap=10000000 ./.gimp-1.3/pluginrc: (proc-arg 0 "antialiasing" "Apply antialiasing (TRUE/FALSE)") ./.gimp-1.3/pluginrc: (proc-arg 0 "antialiasing" "Apply antialiasing (TRUE/FALSE)")
Why did adding nothing, /dev/null, automagically cause the name of the file to appear next to the line that contains the search expression? Is it because Unix is truly amazing? After all, it does allow even the state of nothingness to be expressed as a filename.
Actually, it works because grep will list the filename whenever it searches multiple files. When you just use { }, find will pass each filename it finds one at a time to grep. Since grep is searching only one filename, it assumes you already know the name of that file. When you use /dev/null { }, find actually passes grep two files, /dev/null along with whichever file find happens to be working on. Since grep is now comparing two files, it's nice enough to tell you which of the files contained the search string. We already know /dev/null won't contain anything, so we just convinced grep to give us the name of the other file.
That's pretty handy. Now let's make it friendly. Here's a very simple script called fstring:
% more ~/bin/fstring #!/bin/sh # script to find a string # replaces $1 with user's search string find . -type f -exec grep "$1" /dev/null { } \;
That $1 is a positional parameter. This script expects the user to give one parameter: the word the user is searching for. When the script executes, the shell will replace "$1" with the user's search string. So, the script is meant to be run like this:
% fstring word_to_search
If you're planning on using this script yourself, you'll probably remember to include a search string. If you want other users to benefit from the script, you may want to include an if statement to generate an error message if the user forgets the search string:
#!/bin/sh # script to find a string # replaces $1 with user's search string # or gives error message if user forgets to include search string if test $1 then find . -type f -exec grep "$1" /dev/null { } \; else echo "Don't forget to include the word you would like to search for" exit 1 fi
Don't forget to make your script executable with chmod +x and to place it in the user's path. /usr/local/bin is a good location for other users to benefit.

No team has been more dominant at the Olympics over the past 20 years then the U.S. women's basketball team, winning five straight gold medals.
They kept that streak going Sunday, beating Senegal 121-56 in their first game at the Rio Olympics. With that score, the team broke its own record for most points scored in the Olympics. The previous record was 114, set in 1992 and tied at the London Olympics.
They also won their 42nd straight Olympic game, easily handling an African nation still looking for its first victory in its second Olympics.
Diana Taurasi finished with 15, all on 3s.
The Americans led 35-9 after the first quarter with Taurasi shooting so well. Senegal got a boost from local fans embraced the underdog, cheering every shot. It didn't help as the United States led 64-21 at halftime and 94-38 after the third. That left only the final margin in doubt.
With nine players, including Bird, Diana Taurasi and Tamika Catchings, returning from the London Games, the U.S. is a heavy favorite to win another gold medal.
Olympic newcomers Elena Delle Donne, Brittney Griner and Breanna Stewart will add a dynamic mix to the veteran core.
The only potential thorn for the U.S. is lack of training time. While most other countries get to spend months together preparing, the U.S. has about two weeks before its first game. Although a lot of that time has been spent crisscrossing the country.
"I'm hoping that they remember some of the stuff that we did last year at the World Championship and a couple years ago at the Olympics and maybe February at that little training camp that we had," U.S. coach Geno Auriemma said. "Fortunately, they're a lot of the same players that played. So we haven't changed a whole lot. But there's not much time and there's not much that you can do to get ready. You just have to trust that they're ... They never let you down. They always seem to respond when you need them to."
The U.S. is in a difficult group with Serbia, China, Canada, Spain and Senegal.
"Obviously we're in a tough group," Auriemma added. "Because anytime you have the European champions like Serbia already in the group and Canada, the Americas champion, those are two really good teams. And then you add in China and Spain."
In other action:
France shocks Belarus
Endy Miyem scored her game-winning shot just as time was expiring and France stunned Belarus by pulling out a 73-72 win Sunday night in the Olympic women's basketball group play.
Officials immediately counted the basket, then went to replay to confirm whether the ball was out of Miyem's hand before time had expired. France (2-0) had already begun celebrating, while one Belarussian dropped to her knees as if she already knew the outcome.
The referee came back onto the court and ruled the shot counted, an emotionally devastating decision for Belarus.
Australia topped Turkey
Liz Cambage finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds as the Aussies held off Turkey 61-56 Sunday night in Olympic women's basketball group play.
Lara Sanders, who U.S. college basketball fans may remember as LaToya Pringle at North Carolina, scored 25 points. Nevriye Yilmaz added 14 points and Isil Alben had 13 and with Sanders' production the trio outscored Australia 29-25 in the first half.
Australia improved to 2-0 while Turkey fell to 0-2.
Spain holds off Serbia
Anna Cruz scored 13 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as Spain pulled out a 65-59 victory Sunday over Serbia in the Olympic opener for both teams.
Marta Xargay also scored 15 points for Spain, which is back in the Olympics for the first time since 2008. That's when the Spaniards finished fourth for their best finish in the Olympics.
Astou Ndour added 11 points and 12 rebounds for Spain.
The Serbians made quite an impression in their Olympic debut with their up-tempo style of play. Serbia pulled within 62-59 on a layup by Jelena Milovanovic with 19 seconds to go, but Spain sealed the game as Laura Nicholls hit a free throw, and Ndour scored to finish off the win.

Maureen Dowd: Back to meddling in Iraq
Maureen Dowd
The New York Times
It was exhilarating to drop a bunch of 500-pound bombs on whatstheirname.
Just when Americans thought they could stop trying to figure out the difference between Sunnis and Shiites, we're in a new war in Iraq with some bad "folks," as the president might say, whose name we're still fuzzy on.
We never know what we're getting into over there, and this time we can't even agree what to call the enemy. All we know is that a barbaric force is pillaging so swiftly and brutally across the Middle East that it seems like some mutated virus from a sci-fi film.
Most news organizations call the sulfurous spawn of al-Qaida leading the rampage through Iraq "ISIS," short for "Islamic State in Iraq and Syria" or "Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham." (Isis is also the name of an Egyptian goddess and the Earl of Grantham's yellow lab on Downton Abbey.) Yet the White House, State Department and United Nations refer to the group as "ISIL," short for "Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant."
The BBC reported that some people have also started referring to the jihadis as "Da'ish" or "Daesh," a designation that the extremists object to because it is "a seemingly pejorative term that is based on an acronym formed from the letters of the name in Arabic, 'al-Dawla al-Islamiya fi Iraq wa al-Sham.'" Al-Sham, the BBC noted, can be translated as "the Levant," "Greater Syria," "Syria" or "Damascus."
Adding to the confusion, ISIS aka ISIL engaged in a slick "Mad Men" rebranding in June, announcing that, in tribute to its ambition to establish a caliphate, it was renaming itself "the Islamic State." So then Agence France-Presse began referring to the militants as "IS" or "the group formerly known as ISIS," and The Wall Street Journal switched to "IS." The Times, however, still calls our murderous new enemy "ISIS" while quoting administration officials and military officers using the acronym "ISIL."
It's a bit odd that the administration is using "the Levant," given that it conjures up a colonial association from the early 20th century, when Britain and France drew their maps, carving up Mesopotamia guided by economic gain rather than tribal allegiances. Unless it's a nostalgic nod to a time when puppets were more malleable and grateful to their imperial overlords.
If all that is not confusing enough, we also have to fathom a new entry in the vicious religious wars in Iraq: the Yazidis, a small and secretive sect belonging to one of the oldest surviving religions in the world. Their faith has origins in Islam and Zoroastrianism, a religion founded by the Iranian prophet Zoroaster in the 6th century B.C. As Time pointed out, though the name "Izidis" translates to "worshipers of God," ISIS considers them "devil-worshipers" who must convert to Islam or be killed.
ISIS mistakenly torments the sect that has survived 72 genocides, The Telegraph explained, because the Yazidis worship a fallen angel called the Malek Tawwus, or Peacock Angel. But unlike Lucifer, their angel sought forgiveness and went back to heaven.
Fifty thousand Yazidis were driven by the jihadis to take refuge on Mount Sinjar in Kurdish-controlled Irbil, where they were trapped and dying of dehydration and exposure, which spurred President Barack Obama to order Navy planes to drop food and water for them.
Although it felt momentarily bracing to see American pilots trying to save innocents in a country we messed up so badly that it's not even a country any more, some critics warned that the pinprick bombings were a political gesture, not a military strategy, and "almost worse than nothing," as John McCain put it.
The latest turn of the screw in Iraq also underscored how we keep getting pulled back, Godfather-style, without ever understanding the culture. Our boneheaded meddling just creates ever-more-virulent monsters. The United States has taken military action in Iraq during at least 17 of the last 24 years, the ultimate mission creep in a country smaller than Texas on the other side of the world.
What better symbol of the Middle East quicksand than the fact that Navy planes took off for their rescue mission — two years after Obama declared the war in Iraq over — from the George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea?
Bush Senior's war to expel Saddam from Kuwait — a gas station of a country chockablock with spoiled rich Arabs — would not have been necessary if Saddam, a tyrant first enabled by JFK's CIA, had not been given the wrong signals by our side. W.'s war with Saddam, the prodigal son's effort at outdoing his father, ended up undoing Iraq and the neglected Afghanistan.
Caught in the Sunni backlash and the back draft of his predecessor's misguided attempt to impose democracy, Obama is leery and proceeding cautiously. But what can he do? He has dispatched a few hundred advisers to Iraq to fix something that couldn't be fixed with the hundreds of thousands of troops over a decade.
Some fellow Democrats are fretting that the pull of Iraq will be too strong, after Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said, "The president has not laid out a specific end date." Iraq, after all, is a country that seems to have a malignant magnetism for our leaders.

I know this discussion is going to end up here anyway so im just trying to be ahead of the curve... standardization of packages on the linux desktop?
Format: RPM
Frontend: PackageKit
1) PackageKit-- distro agnostic, backend agnostic (packagekit can even hook into pacman for christs sake)
2) RPM-- I know people get really up in arms about RPM vs Deb but my personal vote goes to RPM because Enterprise already does RPM (RHEL + CentOS) and you can do delta packages. Maybe delta's are more an issue of apt-get vs yum but under Debian you download the whole new package, under Fedora you only get the binary difference. I like delta's.
I realize because of Ubuntu that .deb has kind of become 'the standard' for desktop but really it'll probably come down to punching match between Red Hat and Canonical then between RPM and Deb since Ubuntu has desktop and Red Hat has enterprise unless by some miracle they can come together and settle on a package format and package manager (again..yum..please. yum search is so much saner than apt-cache search).
For libraries either run statics, supply them yourself, or have distros package all versions of a libraries wherein there was an ABI break so that we can just run stuff across the board as long as its ABI compatibile (obviously if there was an API break then its an ABI break too) this way when you install the package it just pulls in the library dependencies it needs from the repos
disclaimer: no, I'm not one of those "We need a stable kernel interface! Backwards compatibilty for 20years!" guys, or even release to release. I actually have no problem breaking BC, but if they are going to mandate specific library versions then thats probably the best way to do it.

When I first entered this room, the selection that was playing was everything Mikey hates in digital. The harshness, particularly in the upper frequency range, was so strident it hurt my ears. I didn't know if it was played "by request" but I thought it must have because it was so harsh. Following that selection, (which I didn't recognize), they put in a selection by request, the theme to "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." I left wondering if it is a good idea for exibitors to play music on request. Clearly, this system is capable of producing great music, but that didn't happen while I was in the room. I didn't come back.
YG & Krell
"That's a familiar sound," I thought as I entered the 5th-floor suite shared by YG Acoustics and Krell. It was the classic Show dem record from the early 1980s, James Newton Howard & Friends on Sheffield Lab. The speakers were the YG Anat Reference II Studios ($70,000/system), which differ from the Anat Reference II Professional reviewed by Wes Phillips a year ago in not having the powered subwoofer modules. The room was problematic at low frequencieseither there was an upper-bass suckout or there was too much upper bassand YG's Dick Diamond had spent long hours optimizing the sound on set-up day, but the effort was obviously worth it.
Krell's VP of Sales and Marketing Bill McKiegan brought me up to date on what had been happening at the Connecticut company since the forced departure last fall of founders Dan and Rondi D'Agostino. Engineering continuity is assured by the presence of Director of Engineering Todd Eichenbaum, who, Bill told me, has been primarily responsible for Krell's designs for the past decade. Bill and the other two Krell engineers have between them 68 years of experience at the company. Making their public debut at Axpona were the e (for "eco-friendly") series of products. The Evo 402e power amplifier ($18,500) offers a standby consumption of just 2W compared with its predecessor's 70W. The rest of the Show system comprised the Evolution 202 preamplifier ($16,500) and the Evolution 525 CD player ($12,000).
Wow!!same thing happened to me..I didnt even stay for two minutes when I told my son that was with me,"Let's go".Dont know what it was,maybe match of electronics,but when you go to a show room with this kind of equipment you expect to be floored and not move from the room,didn't happened..maybe next year.
Only $70,000 why not $85,000? For the speakers. $12,000 CD player, yes indeed, it's not about anything but high prices, and poor sound. It's what makes high end so out of touch with reality. Did these speakers sound as good as say, a much CHEAPER Helix from Legacy? Hmmm, price is not any indication of quality, it's just an indication of someone seeing how much they can get from dopes. Shameful. Wonder why the writers of this fine magazine never QUESTION prices? Just always give it kudos, and move on. Question, WHY, make mfgs validate their absurd pricing. Help the readers of the magazine, not just schmooze the advertisers.

Hi. I tried to download the opwnorchestra on the sourceforge page, but there are no samples on it... Is it a very youg project, so nothing has really been done yet?
Also, is there any torrent or mirror where I could download all the IOWA sound files in a pack? I have lots of nice ideas for programing these into really usefull instruments, sopecially for strings, but I can't seem to find a "complete" download link.
I was able to download the philarmonia though. It's not perfect, but there are lots of usable samples there, even if it's MP3 format. Will OpenOrchestra also use these?

It's a cool but dry start to your Wednesday with temperatures in the low-30s. The sun will warm things up to the mid-40s by afternoon.
Clouds move in tonight and we will see some light rain after midnight that could be mixed with a little snow at first before changing back to all rain.
Thursday is a washout. Steady rain all day with perhaps a thunderstorm in the afternoon will drench the region. Showers continue into the evening bringing our rain totals close to one inch. Temperatures tomorrow will be steady in the mid-40s.
The see-saw weather pattern continues on Friday with another cool but sunny day.

Rosol tops Garcia-Lopez in Bucharest for first title
Bucharest, Romania – Lukas Rosol earned his first career ATP World Tour title with a straight-set victory over Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the final of the Nastase Tiriac Trophy tennis event.
Rosol needed just 67 minutes to post a 6-3, 6-2 triumph in Sunday's final. He was playing in his first ATP Tour title match. His best previous result this year was a quarterfinal loss to Jurgen Melzer in Zagreb back in February.
"I will remember this week," said Rosol. "It was very emotional for me and is something special. I found a way to beat some good players and succeed. My family has always supported me and my tennis. I felt match after match, my dream was coming true."
The 27-year-old Czech became the third first-time winner on tour this year, following Bernard Tomic in Sydney and Horacio Zeballos in Vina del Mar.
Rosol took control Sunday midway through the first set, turning a 3-3 match into a rout by winning seven straight games.
Garcia-Lopez, facing Rosol for the first time, fell to 2-2 all-time in finals. The 29-year-old Spaniard was playing a title match for the first time since capturing the Bangkok crown in October 2010. He also won the Kitzbuhel title in 2009.
Rosol, who dropped just one set all week, claimed a first prize of $96,000.

Over the course of the Earth's history, there have been at least five major extinction events -- the End Ordovician, Late Devonian, End Permian, End Triassic, and End Cretaceous. Some ecologists, citing the loss of biodiversity in certain areas and the species at risk, say that a new major extinction event could be on the horizon. Writing this week in the journal Science, researchers say that warming temperatures could cause one-fifth of the world's lizard species to become extinct by the year 2080.
In this hour, we'll talk about modern extinctions and what causes them. How much is human activity to blame? Plus, we'll check in with researchers studying a fungal infection that has devastated frog populations in some parts of the world.

The news just came out that SinglePlatform is being acquired by Constant Contact--up to $30 million of the $100 million deal in incentive based awards. If you've ever met Wiley, you know you can bank on him maxing out that additional $30 million. You don't give a sales team like that a target without expecting him to crush it.
I first met Wiley Cerilli on April 23, 2010. I biked down Broadway to his temporary office space at SoHo Haven. I had come from breakfast at Coffee Shop with Rob Hayes and it was a great sunny day to be on wheels.
Wiley was soft spoken and extremely professional. He oozed a quiet confidence--like a baseball pitcher who had all his stuff working and knew exactly in his head the pitch he was going to finish you off with. No need to get worked up about it--it was just about executing what you had in your head, like he had done on each pitch before during this game. (A VC once said about him that "I'm not sure about the company, but I sure do want him reading bedtime stories to my kids.")
A chalkboard stood in the corner with sales totals for the week. He proceded to tell me a story about how, in his SeamlessWeb days, he spent a day at a customer just watching their day--how they got hounded by the yellow pages guy, the napkin guy, the vending machine salespeople, sold to minute after minute while they ran around just trying to keep their business afloat.
The hard sale was never going to work and so he went about developing a better methodology--one about being supportive of the customer and thinking about how what you did made their life easier. There isn't a thing you could tell Wiley about how to walk into a pizzeria and walk out with a check, but that doesn't mean he won't sit and listen to you anyway, because he's that kind of guy.
He's also the kind of guy that volunteers at a summer camp for kids who have lost parents. He'll take any meeting with a student looking to find their way in their career. When I asked him to come share his sales and company culture expertise at GA, he was on it--right in the middle of acquisition negotiations.
After I met him, I told the team at First Round that I had just met the guy we were going to back in the local space. A year later, SinglePlatform was chosen as one of Business Insider's 25 Companies to Watch. When BI put up a photo of Wiley, he asked that they replace it with a photo of his team. That's the most important thing I learned about working with Wiley over the last two years...
You don't just get the entrepreneur--you get the team he puts in a position to succeed.
Given that, I'm incredibly proud to be able to congratulate the whole SinglePlatform team on their successful sale to Constant Contact, because it was truly a team effort.
The company culture that SinglePlatform had built up was outstanding--something other companies should really try to emulate. Sales goals were setup to encourage representatives to help each other out--not only by structuring team incentives, but creating an environment were one day someone would carry the load and the next day, someone else would--and it was all about getting the team there.
Early on, Wiley had invited me to a team building session. Salespeople were working with a coach to identify communication styles and preferences. It struck me that nowhere else were kids this age getting their personal development cared about in the same way.
In fact, one potential recruit that I sent over there, who eventually followed his writing passion and become a journalist for Forbes, liked the company so much that he went back and wrote a magazine profile on it. The cool thing--Lance Armstrong saw Wiley's Livestrong band and wrote him a handwritten note wishing him good luck with the company.
I was an extremely proud investor in the company through First Round, but it wasn't easy to get there.
Wiley initially didn't want to take any money, so it wasn't the easiest deal to get. He wrote to me in July:
"...We are pretty sure we will not be going the institutional route... Although we are excited about being cash flow positive, we are most excited about the next phase of the business. Our service has a ways to go but the feeling the team has and the feedback we are getting, reminds me of month 9 at Seamless when we all started to realize that this was going to our lives and passions for the next 10 years..."
Selling the salesguy wasn't easy, but when I made the full pitch to him about getting involved early, and rolling up our sleeves, especially around recruiting, he became more and more excited. The cool thing was that I felt so good about SinglePlatform as a place to work that I felt like I wasn't just helping the company--I was helping the employee find a great home.
Not everyone was enthusiastic about this company, though.
When we first syndicated the seed round with other investors, some people didn't get it. Despite the fact that he had over 100 signed customers--something that never happens when you get pitched a service for local merchants that isn't a Groupon clone, people asked about how robust the product was. The answer: it wasn't. SP had built a minimum viable product with a 30 hour a week tech consultant and sold the hell out of it. Product? We'll build whatever we need to later after we solve the hard part in our space--sales.
It also wasn't a particularly "hot" round when the company raised money last year. All Wiley and his team had ever done is follow through on all their promises--and accomplish just about everything he said he was going to in his seed round. Their success became almost routine. Yawn. Revenues. Partners. Powering Foursquare's menu data? Yawn. B2B. Meh. It was tough to get the market excited if you weren't doing viral photosharing. Thank you Thatcher at DFJ and Jeff at New World for having the conviction to see a real business and to step up.
I can't say enough about how much I've learned from Wiley and how much I've enjoyed getting to know the other folks on his team.
They mention in Casino Royale (I'm a Bond geek.) that it takes two kills to become a Double-0 agent. Now I feel like I'm kind of a "real" VC now that I've got a second exit (GroupMe) in less than a year. I owe it in large part to finding great people whose skills were uniquely matched to the entrepreneurial challenge they were taking on. I certainly have to thank the First Round team for supporting an investment in SinglePlatform, especially Howard who worked on the investment with me.
So congrats again to the SinglePlatform team and best of luck in their continued success now as a division of Constant Contact.
