Well, Noa and Mira Awad, who I first mentioned here represented Israel well in Eurovision 2009, coming in 16th place, but Norway took first place with Alexander Rybak singing "Fairytale."
One of my favorites among the top 10 is Hadise from Turkey (came in 4th), singing "Düm Tek Tek" — it's the Middle Eastern rhythms that I like.
I was not a fan of the song sung by one my favorite singers, Patricia Kaas, to whom I was introduced by the family I lived with during a summer exchange in the Loire Valley and the Vendée, who represented France. I did really like Estonia's "Rändajad" performed by Urban Symphony (came in 6th).

First, a little context is required, so we need to take a quick stroll down memory lane. Major League Baseball has a very long history. Almost as long is the history of the baseball media acting as the propaganda arm of the owners.
Back in the good old days of the game, baseball writers almost invariably sided with the owners. There are numerous reasons for the coziness of owners and writers, here are a few that leap to mind:
First, baseball writers were somewhat dependent on owners for access, as technology had not yet opened up the game to the extent it has today.
Second, owners frequently treated baseball writers better than their own players. Baseball owners understand the importance of good press in keeping both the turnstiles spinning and the players under their thumb.
Third, the fact that the origins of baseball largely predated the rise of organized labor meant that the power of the owners vastly outweighed that of the players. So, perhaps it's not surprising that the media naturally favored the owners.
All of this is simply the long way of saying that baseball writers have long been biased towards the owners. If you've been a fan of baseball during any of the collective bargaining sessions, then you are familiar with the old saying that "baseball players are lucky to be making so much money for playing a game." That has long been the talking point used by owners to drive down player salaries. It's a line they have consistently fed to the media, which was only too willing to disseminate it to the fans. And, frankly, it has been very effective for the owners. Ever wonder why fans complain about baseball player salaries, but no one complains about actor or musician salaries? Why do people complain about Jayson Werth's contract, but not about Tom Cruise earning $20M a picture or Barbara Streisand earning millions for performing a mere handful of concerts in Las Vegas?
I would argue that the disparity is largely due to baseball fans having been conditioned by the owners via the media. Fans have been conditioned to view the players as being fortunate to be paid for playing a mere game, rather than as individuals who should be compensated in accordance with the revenue they generate for their employers. In short, throughout the history of the game the owners have consistently and effectively utilized the media to frame the issue for their own benefit.
Even today, after all the gains made by the MLBPA, the media still favors the owners. Perhaps not surprising, given the financial disparity between the two sides. Baseball players may be rich, but owners are wealthy. In the end, MLB owners are still capital, while the MLBPA is still labor. And, in today's day and age, it's not surprising to see the media favor the deeper, frequently corporate, pockets belonging to the owners.
In this article by Ken Rosenthal, the issue isn't between owners and players, but rather between an owner and a fan base. Regardless, Rosenthal wastes little time in writing a one-sided argument in support of the desires of the Oakland A's ownership group.
Here is the complete article:
"A's need to get moving, or else
Free-agent third baseman Adrian Beltre was the player the A's wanted most this offseason. They made him an initial offer of five years, $64 million and later raised their bid to six years, $78.6 million, according to major league sources.
Yet, they never stood a chance.
Beltre, like most star players, wanted no part of Oakland. No part of the Coliseum. No part of a franchise that has ranked in the bottom five in home attendance in each of the past five seasons.
The solution for the A's is simple — in fact, the simplest of any struggling franchise in the game today. The team needs to move to San Jose, a more populous, prosperous city 40 miles south of Oakland.
"If we want to be successful in the game, we've got to take advantage of situations that are right in front of us," says Scott Boras, the agent for Beltre and several other top players. "And this is one of them."
Yes, Boras is speaking partly out of self-interest; a stronger A's franchise would possess greater spending power and help drive the market for his players. But a stronger A's franchise is in the game's best interests, too.
No longer would the team be a revenue-sharing recipient. Franchise values would increase as the industry grew more robust. Baseball could move on to other problems.
So, what's the holdup?
The Giants, of course.
The Giants, who hold territorial rights to San Jose's home county, Santa Clara, only because the A's were kind enough to surrender them in the early 1990s, when the San Francisco team was exploring a move to the area.
Appeasing the Giants will not be easy — their owner, Bill Neukom, took over the club in 2008 with the knowledge that San Jose was part of the team's territory. He understandably does not want to lose sponsorship opportunities or diminish the value of his club in any way.
Well, baseball developed a blueprint for solving such a problem in March 2005, when it reached an agreement to move the Montreal Expos into the Orioles' territory in Washington, DC. The deal created the Nationals and guaranteed the Orioles at least $130 million a year in revenues and a sale price of at least $360 million.
The A's/Giants conflict, in some ways, should be easier to resolve — the A's already exist in the Bay Area, while the Nationals did not exist in Washington. The Orioles/Nationals arrangement also included the formation of a new regional television network. The Giants and A's already maintain deals with separate Comcast entities.
"The idea that we're here, sitting on our hands and not letting this franchise get going is detrimental to the game," says Boras, who grew up in Elk Grove, Calif., near Sacramento.
"A few franchises need to be evaluated and examined. Oakland can immediately improve and become a success if moved to San Jose. You would then have two well-run and successful franchises in the Bay Area."
Neukom, like Orioles owner Peter Angelos, is an accomplished attorney. Baseball surely would not relish a prolonged, contentious negotiation with the Giants, but if that's what it takes to fix the A's, so be it.
Other low-revenue clubs are much more challenged.
Teams such as the Pirates, Royals, Padres and Reds believe that winning will solve their problems. Well, winning didn't work for the Rays and Indians, who failed to generate appreciable revenue increases during periods of recent success.
Now both clubs are stuck: The Rays can't get financing for a new ballpark, and the Indians are trapped in a city with a diminishing population and corporate base.
An NBA team can relocate to a city as small as Oklahoma City, but a major league franchise must be in a market strong enough to support 81 home dates.
Name a better possibility in North America than San Jose, where a 32,000-seat park for the A's is all but ready to go.
"If we had approval from baseball, it would take six to nine months to finish our drawings, then a maximum of two years to build," A's owner Lew Wolff says. "So, I would say 30 to 36 months.
"The city has purchased most of the land. We are willing to give the money to buy the rest of it if they don't happen to have it. As far as financing, it will be done through debt and equity. We're not waiting for any kind of bond issues or government help, which we can't get anyway.
"In some ways, that makes it more difficult. But in some ways, it's simpler. We don't have to go to anyone."
Absent public financing, the A's are confident the ballpark would pass a citywide ballot measure. The team in 2006 struck a 30-year naming-rights deal with Cisco that would provide $4 million annually. Its new multi-year agreement with Comcast SportsNet California also will help with financing, Wolff says.
Commissioner Bud Selig formed a committee in March 2009 to study the A's ballpark options. Wolff says it is his understanding that the committee's work is now done. Selig, through a spokesman, declined comment.
Meanwhile, the A's remain in limbo, plodding along in Oakland. Franchises in baseball's other two-team markets — New York, Chicago and Los Angeles — share the same geographic territory. The Bay Area is different. The population in the Giants' territory, Wolff says, is twice as large as that in the A's territory.
"The whole thing is really ludicrous," Wolff says.
For all their obstacles, the A's have built an intriguing club, one that might very well contend in 2011.
Their young pitching staff last season led the American League in ERA, and general manager Billy Beane has spent the winter making improvements through trades and modest free-agent signings.
The A's failure to sign Beltre for the second straight offseason, however, illustrates the difficulty the team faces in landing premier free-agent talent.
A year ago, Beltre spurned a three-year, $24 million offer from the A's to sign a one-year, $10 million deal with the Red Sox. This time, he went to the Rangers for more money than the A's offered — five years, $80 million.
His decision could help determine the outcome of the AL West race.
"You talk to players," Boras says, without referring specifically to Beltre. "It's not the city. It's not the team. It's the ballpark. And there are no fans there.
"When teams recruit against the Oakland A's, they say, 'Why do you want to play in an empty park?' It's not about the organization. It's not about ownership. It's about locale."
Earlier this offseason, Lance Berkman rejected a two-year offer from the A's to sign a one-year deal with the Cardinals. When the A's do land free agents, it's usually because the players want to be in northern California or lack better options.
True, the A's signed designated hitter Hideki Matsui and relievers Grant Balfour and Brian Fuentes this offseason, but none is an elite talent. The team's outlay for the three in 2011 will be about $13 million combined.
For Beltre, the A's were willing to guarantee six years, but at $12.8 million per season, not $16 million. After Beltre signed for that price with the Rangers, the A's added Balfour and Fuentes, bringing their 2011 payroll to nearly $70 million.
Imagine how much stronger they would be in San Jose.
The three other AL West clubs — the Rangers, Angels and Mariners — play in terrific markets with terrific parks. The proposed 32,000-seat stadium in San Jose would be the smallest in the majors. But the A's average home attendance would almost double if they filled the park, and premium seating and luxury suites would provide additional revenue.
It's time. It's past time.
"In the end, this is hurting baseball," Boras says. "It's depriving baseball players and baseball fans of a successful franchise. That's wrong. We need to correct that."
The solution is within reach."
In this article, Rosenthal basically frames the issue as follows: "The A's need to move to San Jose in order to survive." A better, more fair statement of the issue would be that "the A's need a new ballpark in order to thrive."
Of course, the restated issue would not operate to completely exonerate the ownership group of their responsibility for the A's financial situation, which seems to be the primary goal of the article. And, to achieve this goal, Rosenthal relies on a number of questionable statements to support his already shaky premise.
I have more than a few problems with his article, but here are a few of the issues that bother me the most:
Issue #1: For some odd reason, Rosenthal goes to player agent Scott Boras for a quote on the Oakland A's situation, even though he readily admits that Boras speaks solely out of self interest.
What insight could Scott Boras possibly have on the viability of baseball markets or the tricky topic of financing a baseball ballpark? None whatsoever. Boras has a significant interest in seeing the construction a new revenue generating ballpark for a previously revenue challenged organization. Of course, Boras doesn't care where that park is constructed, only that it gets done. He simply wants more money for his clients and himself. For him, it doesn't matter if the ballpark is in Oakland, San Jose, or Jupiter, just so long as it increases the revenue of the organization, because both he and his clients will ultimately get a cut of that new and improved revenue stream. However, Rosenthal attempts to use Boras' comments as some type of support for the premise that the A's need to move to San Jose.
Issue #2: Rosenthal includes Lew Wolfe's argument that "the population in the Giants' territory is twice as large as that in the A's territory." This is a completely and intentionally disingenuous statement. Let's get real here, both the Giants and A's draw fans from the same exact area. The extent of the Giants' territorial rights is that the A's cannot construct a ballpark in San Jose. However, while the A's are forbidden from constructing a ballpark in San Jose, there is NOTHING to prevent the A's from drawing fans from all over the San Francisco Bay Area, just as they always have. This is a market that has long supported two MLB franchises and can continue to do so without difficulty in the future.
Here is a look at the attendance figures over the past few decades for A's and Giants:
Decade: Oakland__San Francisco__Difference
In the 1980s, the A's outdrew the Giants by ~2.5M fans. In the 1990s, the Giants outdrew the A's by a paltry ~300K fans. And, of course, in the 2000s, the Giants attendance exploded and they outdrew the A's by ~14M fans. Of course, the discrepancy in the 2000s has nothing to do with Oakland's viability as a baseball marketplace. It has everything to do with the opening of Pac Bell Park in San Francisco prior to the 2000 season.
The only problem with the Oakland market is simply that the A's owners have refused to step up and privately finance a ballpark IN OAKLAND. The truth is that the A's were on the same exact footing as the Giants until the 2000s. At that point, the Giants reaped the benefits from stepping up and privately financing a ballpark. Since that point, the Giants have become the premier organization in the area, just in case last year's World Series championship failed to drive that point home. In short, the Giants demonstrated their loyalty to the fans and their commitment to their market by using their own funds to build a ballpark. The A's have not.
The real problem here is the A's ownership. Here's a fun fact, the A's majority owner, John Fisher, is one of 8 billionaire owners in Major League Baseball. Again, let's repeat that for emphasis, the A's are owned by a billionaire. They could easily finance their own ballpark, which seems to be about as risk-free an investment as an owner could hope to find. Lew Wolff is the face of the ownership group, but Fisher is the majority owner. Regardless, the A's have failed to invest in the community and fan base. Instead of being willing to privately fund a new ballpark in Oakland, the A's have dragged their feet, complained and bashed the Oakland market, and tried to get a ballpark in a location, San Jose, that they know to be off-limits.
I suspect that, if we were to pull back the curtain and see the true motivation of Lew Wolff, then his desire to build a ballpark in San Jose has more to do with the opportunity to develop the real estate surrounding the proposed ballpark site than any alleged weakness in the Oakland market. Given that history has conclusively established that a new ballpark in Oakland would enable the A's to compete on equal footing with the Giants, there must be some other reason for Lew Wolff to be desperately trying to move to an area that he knows is completely off-limits.
Issue #3: Rosenthal writes that "the A's remain in limbo, plodding along in Oakland" without mentioning how the ownership group has intentionally operated to keep itself in limbo. Major League Baseball ballparks are sound investments in their own right, but owners are always looking to extract the most public money, grants of land, and tax breaks from municipalities that they possibly can. Reds fans saw this firsthand with the construction of Great American Ballpark, which was done with significant public money extracted in part with a promise from the owners to increase payroll. Well, we all know how that panned out for the fans.
Even short of financing a new ballpark in Oakland, the ownership group could have invested more heavily in the team and the market. They have chosen not to do that to any appreciable degree and, not surprisingly, the result has been an alienated fan-base and declining attendance. One small example is that the organization has canceled FanFest in favor of a Fan Appreciation Tailgate to be held in the parking lot before an exhibition game on a weekday. The owners have completely scaled down their commitment to the Oakland market, seeming to prefer the use of a scorched earth campaign to ensure that they have no other alternative than to leave town.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I simply expect better out of Ken Rosenthal than this. A national writer should do more than just parrot the self-interested arguments of a baseball ownership group. Major League Baseball works in Oakland. It has for decades and there's no reason it can't continue into the future. For that to happen, the A's simply need to build their own ballpark in Oakland. If the A's actually committed to the market, rather than badmouthing it in an attempt to move to a different city, then baseball in Oakland could flourish again. It's not the market, it's the ballpark. And, the ballpark is something that is well within the control of the A's billionaire ownership group. Of course, you'd never know that from Rosenthal's article, which continues the long, disturbing baseball media tradition of swaying public support in favor of the owners.

My resume is no longer relevant. It can no longer contain an adequate description of my technical abilities. One can get a much better sense of what I am capable of by looking at my GitHub repositories, my Stack Exchange profiles, and the various courses that I am taking at Udacity and Coursera. The problem is that I have no idea how to tell employers that those are the places to look if they want an accurate description of what I can do.
Every time a recruiter contacts me I gently nudge them towards all the resources I just mentioned and I also provide a link to a publicly visible Google doc that contains my resume along with links to all those resources. Yet, they keep coming back asking for a more descriptive resume.
How can I make it even more blatantly obvious that if somebody wants to hire me then they can save themselves a whole bunch of trouble by just clicking on a few links and browsing around?

The 3-second rule (73 votes)
Look at a resume as a distilled brochure that advertises highlights from your skills and experience. A combination of your GitHub and SO profiles and a bunch of other online resources may be complete and accurate, but it isn't sorted or otherwise prepared for easy reading in any way. People who hire want you to tell them what you think distinguishes you from the rest, so your resume should be written so that you pass the first three seconds of eyeballing; if it doesn't, three seconds is all you get. Nobody can form any useful opinion about your skills in three seconds of looking at your GitHub account page.
If you have too much to fit on your resume, great—pick the absolute highlights, and refer to online resources for more. Aim for 'impressive', not 'exhaustive'.
More reason than ever to resume (106 votes)
I would argue that "in the age of GitHub, Stack Exchange, Coursera, Udacity, blogs, etc," the relevance of a concise and a well written resume is more important than ever.
As an employer, I am not going to start with your GitHub projects and blog posts. I might end up checking them if:
- your resume is relevant to my job requirements;
- and your resume demonstrates a track record of achievements.
You do not even have to put links to all the aforementioned sites on your resume. I will google your name if I'm interested.

Know the process (15 votes)
Most HR screening these days done by recruiters and corporate HR departments is automated resume reading. A human never sees your resume/application. A computer program that searches out keywords in a plain text, HTML, or Word document determines if your resume matches the specified job criteria.
If it's a match, a HR person, who knows nothing about GitHub or StackExchange, looks at your resume and double checks the computer results. They may call you on the phone to make sure that you aren't a total loser or liar. Then, they'll submit your resume to the department or client along with a stack of other qualifying resumes. (Smaller companies who don't use a recruiter usually start at this point.)
Then, the hiring manager will begin to sort through a stack of resumes, scanning them for certain keywords/buzzwords and making some subjective judgments. For example, you may have graduated from the same school so you end up on the callback pile. They then ask the recruiter or HR to setup a face-to-face or phone interview for those selected.
In the interview, that's the time you can bring up things that you do online. They'll probably Google you and check out what you've given them after that if they like you in person. However, this can work against you in some organizations. They may think you're too dedicated to outside projects, like a blog or open source projects. They may see a Facebook entry where you're out partying or being openly religious and be offended by it. They may not like your code style or be intimidated by it. Then again, some hiring managers won't even bother to do even a Google search and base their decision on the interview alone.
So, a resume still remains an advertising brochure for you because it's easily automated and quick to read/scan. Online qualifications are generally something that can be a deal maker or breaker after an initial interview with a hiring manager.

We Help Navy Veterans with Mesothelioma Lawsuits in all 50 States
U. S. Navy Fleet Jet Engine Mechanics that have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma or any Asbestos related diseases may be eligible to receive compensation from responsible asbestos companies and manufacturers.
Navy Veterans who served in the Armed Forces from 1930 through 1980 have a higher risk being diagnosed with Mesothelioma cancer and other asbestos related diseases in their lifetime. Most Mesothelioma symptoms do not start showing up until 10-50 years after an initial exposure. Asbestos exposure is responsible for approximately 10,000-12,000 deaths each year in the United States.
Navy Fleet Jet Engine Mechanics were exposed to asbestos while on board military aircraft, Navy warships, repairing fighter jets, transport plan.
es and doing routine maintenance on Navy Bases and barracks throughout the U. S.
Veterans of the US Navy face an increased risk of developing an asbestos-related disease as a result of their service.
Navy Bases and Mesothelioma Claims
Navy Veterans that were stationed on Navy bases are being diagnosed with Mesothelioma and other Asbestos-related diseases each year in the U. S. All branches of the U. S. Military used asbestos during the 20th Century with peak years being 1930-1980 because of it fire-retardant properties. Not only was Navy personnel exposed to asbestos but their family members as well. Nearly all Navy Bases were constructed with hundreds of asbestos-containing products that put Navy personnel and their families at increased risk of asbestos exposure.
Asbestos-containing products and materials used to construct Navy and Army Bases have been authenticated by United States Government studies by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) at Burns Radar Station regarding on-base housing in 2002. Nearly all Navy Bases provided by the U. S. Government contained asbestos-containing products and materials.
Asbestos Exposure in the Navy
The U.S. Navy has gone to great lengths in recent years to guard against asbestos exposure. Asbestos Manufacturing Companies are Responsible for your asbestos exposure – Not the Navy!
U. S. Military Command acknowledged the asbestos hazard in August 1986 when they adopted the Asbestos GRADE (Guidance for Rating and Assessing Damage and Exposure) system to prioritize asbestos abatement in their bases and buildings.
In 1973, studies by the (EPA) officially linked asbestos exposure to Mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, and other asbestos related diseases. The Defense Department stopped using asbestos for new base construction and in Navy equipment in 1980, but many older Navy installations still contain large amounts of the asbestos cancer-causing material.
Thousands of Navy servicemen and women came into contact with asbestos fibers during their tour of service. Many Veterans diagnosed with Mesothelioma have complained that they were not given any warning, training or respiratory protective gear when handling, installing, loading, repairing, or removing asbestos-containing products.

We Do Not Sue the Military or the Government
Asbestos related cancers among Navy Veterans is not the fault of the military or even the government. It is the fault of the asbestos manufacturers and companies. Asbestos companies knew of the potential health issues related to asbestos exposure as far back as the 1920's, but knowingly hid this information from the public, the medical community and even the U.S. Military and continued to profit off their deadly asbestos materials.
If you are a Veteran and are suffering from Mesothelioma cancer, you can seek justice from these greedy asbestos manufacturers. It's not unpatriotic to fight back against the big asbestos companies that have exposed you and your family to deadly asbestos products.
Navy Veterans injured from asbestos exposure during their service have the right to sue the asbestos companies that produced and sold the asbestos materials and products used by the U. S. Military.

Navy Veterans and Asbestos Containing Products
Asbestos was used in the building and maintenance of Navy ships and aircraft, primarily to aid in the protection against fire and heat. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were used in Navy barracks, hangars, aircraft repair facilities, fire stations, administration buildings, fuel storage tanks, and motor pools. Asbestos-laced cement and other materials were also used when constructing on-base housing for enlisted personnel, officers, and their families.

Fashion Golf Shirts
Sort By:
Outfit Your Team in Style with Fashion Golf Apparel
Representatives of many businesses and organizations from a wide variety of industries and geographical areas play in corporate golf tournaments every year, and if you're among them, it's important to make sure that you represent your group professionally and impressively in custom apparel such as embroidered fashion polos imprinted with your brand's logo. Furthermore, if your company is the one that is organizing a golf outing for a combination of recreation and networking that is difficult to emulate anywhere but between the greens, it is essential that your staff and executives are outfitted well in embroidered fashion polos that proudly display the name of your organization; this is just the first of many steps to planning a successful tournament, but it is certainly an important one.
Planning a Tournament Begins with Fashion Golf Shirts
If your organization is planning a golf tournament for profit, for charity, or for networking purposes, there are a number of steps that you'll need to take in order to ensure its success; the first of these is selecting an internal committee to plan and execute the event, and there's no better way to make them feel appreciated and authoritative than with embroidered fashion polos custom printed with your brand's logo. Next, your committee will need to determine the size of the tournament, where the outing will be held, and the tournament format, all of which are dependent on the number of guests you expect to participate. You will then need to determine your budget and whether you will provide all of your participants with food, drink, embroidered fashion polos, and other commemorative items, as well as whether you will award a prize to the top individual or team. You might decide to charge participants an entrance fee to help cover your budget, or you may host them at no cost to their organization in order to encourage participation and foster warm feelings toward your company.Embroidered Fashion Polos Make Great Corporate Tournament Prizes
Choosing prizes to be distributed at your organization's corporate golf tournament can be a daunting task. You want to decide on something that won't blow your budget but that winners will still appreciate; that will encourage participants to be competitive without sacrificing the elements of fun and enjoyment you surely hope will characterize your event. One way to compile a number of prizes without breaking your budget is to solicit donations from participating organizations and local businesses or companies who may operate within your industry. When you encourage groups such as these to donate embroidered fashion polos or other gifts, let them know that this will provide them with an opportunity to increase their brand's visibility at a high profile event in your community. Including a variety of high quality gifts, embroidered fashion polos and other items in a gift basket to be presented to the winning group ensures that every member of the team gets a prize.

Penguins can always count on Craig Adams in the lineup
February 4, 2014 8:07 PM
Some things seem as if they never change. Craig Adams being in the Penguins lineup, for example.
Other things don't stay the same. For instance, Adams' training regimen that has helped him put together an ironman streak that is expected to reach 263 games when the Penguins play tonight at Buffalo.
"I would like to think that the training that you do from the beginning, however far back that goes, is part of your foundation, is part of what is able to keep you healthy," said Adams, who often plays right wing on the fourth line, sometimes centers that line and occasionally sees some time on the third line.
But he always plays, game after game, dating to Oct. 16, 2010, when he was a lineup scratch for a game against Philadelphia. His is the fourth-longest streak of consecutive games played in club history.
"If you're looking at guys on our team for taking care of themselves and being in shape, preparing, I don't think you're going to find one better than Craig, from his off-ice [training] in the summertime to what he does during the season," coach Dan Bylsma said, adding that Adams devoted an extra 20 minutes on the ice after practice Tuesay to working on his game.
Adams has some grit, ranking fourth on the team with 117 hits. He ranks first among the Penguins forwards with 45 blocked shots. He is one of the top penalty-killers on a team that ranks first in the NHL in penalty-killing at 87.7 percent.
"He's a card-holder for tough and determined grit on our team," Bylsma said.
One thing Adams is not, is a goal-scorer. He has three goals among his seven points this season, but those goals came in the first four games, and he has none in the past 52.
The fact that the fourth line has not contributed heavily on offense is a factor on Adams' team-worst plus-minus rating (minus-9). And a contributing factor to that is rampant personnel turnover on the fourth line.
"With the injuries we've had, it hasn't been very consistent," Adams said. "I don't think it helps.
"But, at the same time, that's the way it is. You can't worry too much about it. You play with whoever you're out there with. Maybe there isn't that chemistry there necessarily, but everyone knows what they need to be doing and they're playing well. There are no excuses."
Adams, claimed off of waivers in March 2009, doesn't care for excuses when it comes to training, either.
While teammates Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang are better known for their extensive offseason workouts, Adams, 36, keeps himself in top shape with a workout routine that has evolved.
"You learn things," Adams said. "Some things you keep, and some things you put aside and add something new. It's more of a mishmash of things you've learned over the last, I guess, 20 years. You're always kind of looking to improve and get more efficient."
So efficient that he is resilient and apparently has a high pain tolerance.
"He's played with injuries that keep other people out for weeks," Bylsma said. "Two years ago, he had a knee injury, and we were playing Chicago the next day. We got the word from the doctors what his injury was. He said, 'I'll be fine. I'll be able to play.' And sure enough, he did.
"He's had a couple of those this year as well, whether it's a blocked shot or whatever else. He's been able to play right through it and with it."
Adams has been a sponge around physical therapists, conditioning coaches, other players, and he incorporates bits of what he sees into his regimen.
"There are trends," he said. "I don't like to swing too wildly in the direction of whatever is in fashion. Things come and go, but there are certain things that stay.
"In general, the whole business of training for hockey has evolved every year. To be honest, I don't think that 20 years ago people put a whole lot of thought into it. Even if they worked really hard, I don't know that they were necessarily working smart, efficiently."
Adams works with personal trainer Scott Umberger (cousin of R.J. Umberger of the Columbus Blue Jackets). They share an interest in always seeking new techniques and workouts.
"He's constantly evolving, trying to get better, more efficient, more specific, all those things," Adams said.
"It's interesting. It will never end. You'll never get to that point, no matter how old you are, where you say that this is the perfect, right way to train, the right way to do things.
"It's a constant learning process. I find it interesting. One day, it will be over and I won't have to worry about it anymore."
Until then, you know where you find Adams on Penguins game nights.

Well, people, it's the night before Thanksgiving.
I'm eating applesauce.
In all the fuss about getting my pressure cooker up and running, I forgot to tell you why I made applesauce in the first place.
It's for my father. Well, and anyone else who can get to it before he does. But mostly, it's for my father. Normally I whip together something chocolate and throw it in his general direction and he's happy. This is the guy who used to pour Hershey's syrup in his Cheerios.
But when he was a kid, my Bubbie used to make him applesauce. I'll be missing his birthday this year* and wanted to bring something special for him to the Thanksgiving table. So I asked him how he liked his applesauce.
A little chunky, he said, not like baby food. And I used to put ketchup on it. And I'd mix it with my mashed potatoes.
Potatoes I can sort of understand. You've got the salty and the sweet, like a mashed up version of latkes with applesauce. But ketchup? Ketchup**? No matter what he said, he could give no satisfactory explanation.
When I asked if he'd be open to cranberry applesauce, he said it sounded perfect and it would look like it had already been mixed in with the ketchup.
Perfect. But I'll be hiding the bottle of Heinz 57 this year.
* I'll be in Peru for a wedding on his birthday. Stay tuned for more on that trip in January!
** Have you heard about the non-stick ketchup bottle that was developed in an MIT lab?
Pressure cooker applesauce
As Molly said yesterday, applesauce takes three minutes in a pressure cooker.
Most recipes for pressure cookers seem to be written assuming that you know how to use one. And the cooker (my manual says I should call it the Cooker) is very straight forward once you've gotten used to it. But for the uninitiated, here are a few things I learned between yesterday and today about my stove-top pot-bellied Fagor and pressure cooking in general.
Bring to pressure. It sounds so simple. A recipe might begin, "Mix fruit and spices in the pressure cooker, bring to pressure, and cook for three minutes." (And actually, it might end there as well.) Bring to pressure, like it's a pittance of a step. Here's what they don't tell you, people. It can take a really long time to pressurize. As a way to check whether my cooker (I mean, Cooker) was working, I decided to boil some water. I filled the Cooker with a few inches of water, did all the stuff you're supposed to do (the lid, the lock, the valve), and waited. I watched the pot. I emailed Molly. Steam started coming out, but the indicator stayed put.
The indicator. Think pop-up turkey timer (the old-school ones, not these newfangled ones). You've got to sit around and watch for it. With such short cooking times, you need to know when you're pressurized so you can begin timing. Perhaps it's different on more advance or electric models, but what's the fun in that? So I watched the little yellow dot next to the lock. Nothing. And then. A tremble. A titter. A wiggle. And slowly the dot became a nub. But there was no pop, no noise, no way I would possibly know it had come to pressure had I not been standing and watching and watching and watching. NOTE, my manual says that the steam should start to come out after the indicator pops, but this was not my experience.
Heat. Once at pressure (twenty minutes later, people, twenty minutes), you lower the heat to medium. They don't tell you that in recipes. I found it on page 10 of the manual. You want to keep a gentle, steady stream of steam, so you might need to then adjust your heat up or down as appropriate.
The cooking. This is the best part. The cooking itself goes quickly, and the Cooker cooks well. Each apples piece was the same amount of tender as the next, and we cannot attribute that to my uneven cutting skills. A quick whisk broke up all the pieces into perfect sauce.
I'm not sure if it's normal for it to take so long for a cooker to come to pressure, or if there's something wrong with mine. I haven't given up, Molly, but if anyone out there has any pressure cooker tips, please, please do share.
Since I'm taking my applesauce on a plane tomorrow, I canned it. This was my first canning experience and I followed my friend Jess's very clear instructions. I don't have any special equipment other than the jars themselves; I used a silicone pot holder at the bottom of the pot to protect the jars from heat, plain metal tongs to lift things out of the boiling water, and a narrow wooden spoon to scootch the applesauce into jars.
And, finally, the recipe, based on yesterday's applesauce made-in-a-regular-pot applesauce. Again it's good cold, but great warmed up a bit.
Makes 3-4 cups
– 4 lbs apples (approximately 8 medium) – today I used a mix of Fuji, Gala, and Mutsu (Crispin)
– 2 T sugar
– 1/2 lemon for juice (2 T)
– 1 C water
Chop. Peel and chop the apples into approximately 1-inch pieces.
Cook. Add all the ingredients to the pressure cooker. Close the lid, lock the pot, and turn the valve. Turn up the heat to medium-high. Eventually the indicator will pop and the pot will steam. Lower the heat to medium, adjusting the temperature as needed to maintaining a gentle, steady steam. Set your timer for three minutes.
Whisk. When your timer goes off, release the pressure (I used the "automatic" method by turning the valve). Use a whisk to break up the apples.

Hi Kate!
Thanks for your comment on my article," Moms Should Enjoy the Holidays, Too."

More Testimonials »
Henry Levinson established a small family company in 1933, named Permanent Pigments Company. He initially only made artist oil colors. In 1955, Permanent Pigments invented the first water-based acrylic gesso. Levinson tried to think of a name that aptly described this new invention, a medium that could go from fluidity to heavy texture. He decided on the name Liquid Texture, or Liquitex.
Mr. Levinson's idea soon took off, and in 1956, the first commercially available fluid acrylic colors, known as Soft Body paints, were developed. The first heavy bodied, water-based acrylic colors, called Heavy Body, followed in 1963.
Liquitex has a long history of creativity, but creativity doesn't always begin in a laboratory. With this in mind, the company created a Lecture Demonstration Program that still continues to this day. In 1965, it was the first program of lectures and demonstrations given by practicing artists to students at colleges and universities throughout the United States. This program is known today as the Artist Outreach Program. [ visit manufacturer website ]

Optimization Versus Flexibility — An Example
Last week, I discussed how optimization can sometimes mislead programmers into writing code that works better in the lab than in the field, perhaps because the problems that programs encounter in the field are larger than those that are used during testing. As luck would have it, since I wrote that article, I encountered a real-world example of that phenomenon.

I put a fair amount of energy into electronic music, which, these days, often means dealing with sample libraries. A sample library is a collection of files, each of which represents a sound. There are many programs on the market that take such sounds and combine them in musically interesting ways.
It is not unusual for each sample in a library to be in a separate file. As a result, the samples on my computer are scattered among literally hundreds of thousands of files. Most of these files are tiny, although a few are quite large. This situation naturally raises a question: How does one back up such data? More generally, how does one go about backing up a few hundred thousand files?
The author of every backup system must decide how to store the data that it backs up. For example, does each original file have a corresponding file in the backup archive, or are multiple files combined into a smaller (or larger!) number of backup files? Does the folder structure in the original have a counterpart in the backup? Different authors answer such questions in different ways.
One factor that affects the answer is how the operating system behaves when you put a lot of files in a single folder. For example, if a backup program has to store 1,000,000 files, it might put them in 100 folders, each of which contains 100 folders, each of which contains 100 files. Alternatively, it might store chunks of 1,000 files each in archives (such as Zip files), and then put those archives in a single folder. At an extreme, it might even try to create a single folder with 1,000,000 files in it.
The choice of strategy affects the backup program's performance in a way that might be dramatic if the operating system doesn't perform well with very large folders. A particularly important factor is what happens when a program tries to create a new file in a folder that has a lot of files in it already. The system has to search the folder to see whether there is already a file with that name, and that search time depends on the number of files already in the folder.
To see why this dependency is crucial, think about what happens if the system looks at every file in a folder to determine whether the newcomer is a duplicate. The first file in a folder takes one comparison to check; the second takes two comparisons, and so on. So the number of comparisons needed to put n files in a folder is 1+2+…+n, which is O(n2). If, on the other hand, the system can check for duplicates in constant time, then putting n files in a folder takes only O(n) time.
Now let's return to the concrete problem of backing up several hundred thousand files. If such a task is to complete in a reasonable amount of time, it is essential for the time that it takes the operating system to add a file to a folder to grow much more slowly than the number of files already in the folder.
One backup program I tried simply copies all of the files to be backed up into one of 16 folders, apparently at random. More precisely, it somehow (perhaps by hashing the file's contents) creates a name for the copy of the file. This name includes a long string of hex digits. The first of these digits is used to select a folder with a single-hex-character name; each of these folders contains a bunch of files.
One of my backups using this program had about 30,000 files in each folder, which covered my nearly half a million files overall. Watching this backup program at work convinced me that the file-system designers must have done quite a bit toward allowing the file system to handle a large number of files in a single folder.
However, when I switched from using a directly connected external disk to using a network storage unit, the roof caved in. I'd start running my backup, and 18 hours later, I'd see that it was still running. Moreover the data-transfer rate had slowed from tens of megabytes per second to a few thousand bytes per second.
The source of the problem became clear when I looked at one of the folders on my network storage device: It had the expected 30,000 files or so in each of its 16 folders, and when I tried to create a new file in one of these folders, it took nearly five seconds. In other words, adding another 1,000 files to these 30,000 would take well over an hour just to create the files, not counting transferring any data into those files.
In short, some aspect of the network storage device is killing performance for folders with a large number of files. At the moment, I don't know which aspect it is: It might be the device itself, or the network protocol, or something else I haven't anticipated. What is important for the purpose of this article is:
- The operating-system developers decided that creating lots of files in a single folder should run quickly.
- The backup-program developers observed that the operating system handled this operation efficiently, and took advantage of that efficiency.
- The efficiency does not carry over to the network-storage device.
- As a result, it is unacceptably slow to use this particular program to back up a very large number of files on this particular network-storage device.
Two interesting questions come out of this state of affairs, one general and one specific.
The general question is what assumptions software developers should make about how facilities such as file systems perform. Wouldn't it be nice as a user to be able to assume that you can put as many files as you like in a folder without worrying about performance degradation? If it's not fair to make that assumption, wouldn't it be nice for file-system developers to be able to assume that folders won't grow to absurd sizes?
Unfortunately, like most general questions, these have no easy answers. No matter what you do, a network file-storage device is not going to have exactly the same performance characteristics as a disk directly attached to the computer. So the question is not whether there will be performance tradeoffs, but rather which performance tradeoffs are acceptable. In this case, the backup software designers and the network storage designers made decisions about these tradeoffs, each of which was reasonable by itself, but which interacted with each other in unfortunate ways. All I can do about it is to report this problem to the authors and hope for the best.
Here is the specific question: What options do I have if I want my backups to run more quickly? After thinking about for a bit, I realized that I could subdivide my collection of files into eight smaller collections, each roughly the same size. As a result, instead of having 30,000 files in each backup folder, I now have about 4,000 files in each. I haven't measured precisely yet, but if adding each file takes an amount of time proportional to the number of files already in the folder, I would expect this subdivision to reduce the total overhead by a factor of eight or so. That pragmatic strategy will at least let me back up my files while I figure out whether to file a bug report with the manufacturer of the backup software or the network storage device.

Fishing nations maintain tuna quotas
Recommended Video:
AGADIR, Morocco (AP) -- Fishing countries on Monday voted to keep up strict limits on catching Atlantic Bluefin tuna, overruling fierce opposition from critics who argue that the key sushi ingredient is on the rebound.
Observers at a week-long meeting in the Moroccan resort of Agadir said some countries pushed for removing tough quotas, but that the 48-member international organization of fishing nations decided the devastated population still needed time to rebuild.
Stocks of bluefin in the Atlantic Ocean fell catastrophically due to rampant, often illegal, overfishing and lax quotas -- dropping by 60 percent between 1997 and 2007. Although there has been some improvement, experts say the outlook for the species is still fragile.
"It is always difficult for this commission to make decision. It has 48 members and the views are very varied," said Masanori Miyahara, the head of the Japanese delegation and chairman of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas. "After a long wait, the bluefin tuna is showing signs of recovery -- we have to move step by step and follow scientific advice."
The quota will be allowed to rise slightly from 12,900 metric tons a year to 13,500 -- the upper limit recommended by scientists in 2006. Quotas were as high as 32,000 tons in 2006.
Environmentalists welcomed Monday's decision, saying it will maintain the recovery for at least the next year. The decision will be reviewed in 2014, though the original scientific recommendation called for maintaining the quotas through 2022.
"We are pleased because for us it is very important to respect the scientific advice and this is the first time we are tracking recovery," said Susana Sainz Trapaga, the fisheries advocacy officer of the World Wildlife Fund. "It's very important in this uncertain situation that we keep up efforts and stay with the recovery plan we have up to now."
Similar newly proposed protection measures for mako and porbeagle sharks, which also come under the commission's purview, were not adopted by the commission.
The Oceana conservation organization described the decision as "baffling."
"They are willing to be cautious and follow scientific advice on bluefin, but when it comes to sharks, they ignore recommendations," Oceana shark expert Allison Perry told The Associated Press.
Shark populations have become seriously depleted, especially by the practice of finning, in which the fin of the shark is removed and then the creature is tossed back in the water to die, she said. One of the proposals would have required all sharks landed to have attached fins.
The conference only adopted a proposal to report next year on member compliance with existing shark protection measures.
Miyahara said he was disappointed with the failure to agree on protections for the endangered porbeagle shark.
According to the Ecology Action Center, Canada has been the main opposition to extending protections to the porbeagle due to its commercial interests in the shark.

Satellite Phones & Emergency Communicators
If you hunt or hike in the backcountry long enough, sooner or later you and your loved ones will wish you had a satellite phone or other type of emergency communicator.
I do a lot of solo hunts and scouting trips along with outdoor photo treks. I have used a satellite phone on and off for 15 years. Countries I have called home or office from include China, Africa, Peru and some pretty remote parts of North America. Last year I used my satellite phone to call an emergency vehicle when my truck became disabled on the last morning of my hunt 6 miles from a public road.
I have heard from more and more of our LRH members who have had pretty serious emergencies while out. One had a compound fracture of an arm with bone sticking out at a grotesque angle. A solo bear hunter broke an ankle three hours from help. Another flipped his ATV and basically crawled back to the road a couple miles away.
Our loved ones are much more willing to give us extra "passes" for our adventure trips if we check in daily and they know we can communicate in an emergency. --Len Backus--
