- What should be on my resume?
- What format should I use for my resume?
- How long should my resume be?
This week's podcast addresses a topic that many of you might be surprised about: your resume. Your resume, regardless of the baggage associated with it, is probably your most critical career management document. While it's not something you ought to leave laying around on your desk (or on monster.com, for that matter), that doesn't mean you ought to treat it like something you dust off only when you really need it. It needs to be reviewed quarterly, believe it or not.
So, in this cast we'll teach you how to prepare it, and how to maintain it. We won't talk about cover letters, or how resumes are used in the job search, because job search is only one use of your resume.

I really like your recent episode of
I really like your recent episode of 'Your Resume Stinks!'. In the program, you mentioned that you would post a sample resume so that we get some ideas about how a professional resume should look like. Where can I find it?
I really liked this podcast as well. I
I really liked this podcast as well. I appreciate the fact that some of us, who are not in a formal management role, are able to use this information as well.
Thanks for the great podcasts guys.
I was wondering if some of your
I was wondering if some of your techniques for resume writing might be modified depending on the size and type of company you are applying for. If you were applying to a larger company that had a seperate HR department, I could understand how your techniques would be to the applicants advantage. However, I ws wondering if you are applying to a smaller less sophisticated business without an HR department if it would have the same effect. One time in my distant past, I had a very small company hire me just because I had put in an objective talking about how I wanted to make a signifcant contribution to the success of the company. In the manager's mind, everyone else had talked about their goals only and did not care if the company was benefited by their hiring. How might you handle these smaller places where the specific managers do the hiring?
I love your podcasts and have turned my manager on to it as well. We enjoy talking about it on a regular basis. Thanks for the great information they provide.
Great podcast. I've listened to all
Great podcast.
I've listened to all of your podcasts (except the layoffs one, which I haven't gotten round to yet) and I've really found them helpful. I work for a small (approx 15 people) British company but I think that implementing good management techniques (within reason) makes good business sense even in a small company. Keep up the good work!
Specifically, in terms of your resume (or CV as we say in UK) podcast - I have always kept to two pages, but that suffers from too much whitespace and irrelevant information (personal stuff, hobbies etc) so I will definitely be reviewing mine with a view to getting it down to a single page. However, as someone who has gone through lots of CVs over the past few years, I have to say that the trend in the UK (for software engineers at least) is towards four or more pages, and boy some of those are really awful (we even had one where a guy listed witchcraft as one of his hobbies!) If everyone followed this advice, recruitment would be a lot simpler and interviews could be a lot more structured because they'd flow from the structure of the CV (sorry resume).
Anyway, thanks for yet more great, practical advice and please keep the shows coming!
Andy- Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks for the kind words! Something to tell those whom you meet with two to three to FOUR page CVs...recruiters, technical or not, see it as sloppiness combined with kitchen sink mentality - in other words, a lack of preparation and a form of rudeness: "THIS person won't take the time to do a professional job on their CV, but they expect ME to take the time to wade through it? I don't think so. TRASH."
James- Thanks for the kudos. As our
Thanks for the kudos. As our audience has grown, we've learned that we're reaching all kinds of professionals. Please don't hesitate to tell us what you'd like to hear as you observe managers.
Mankney- GREAT post - many thanks.
GREAT post - many thanks. I think we both have good points, just from different perspectives. Yes, if you are sending your resume to a particular company, smaller in size, it is "okay" to include an objective. Now, to be fair, there are PLENTY of people who will send resumes to that smaller company targeted for that job, and only THEN put that job as an objective on their resume. So, a more seasoned manager would put less stock in such a line on a resume. Yes, that takes a little of the joy out of those of us who wouldn't do such a thing...but there it is. I've seen it. Would I put an objective on my resume for a smaller company if it truly was my objective, for good reasons? YES. On the other hand, you absolutely do not need it in 90% of the cases. Those that might notice it are in the minority, in my experience.
And, there's a big company corrolary. If you have a resume that if you were to tailor it would be a perfect fit, and their job is one of your ideal ones, go ahead and put it on there. I wouldn't - I want those lines for accomplishments. But it's not going to kill you.
Our ISSUE with objectives is that they get left on and resumes get sent with the wrong ones on there, or they limit you unnecessarily. And, insofar as we only have 30-40 minutes in a cast, we aren't able to reach all the subtleties.
Good catch, thanks for the note, and thanks for listening.
Mankney- One more thought. They
One more thought. They didn't hire you because of the objective. They hired you because you were good. While I truly believe you specifically benefitted from your smart move...it was just a step in the process. Companies don't hire steps...they hire (good) people!
Well done you!
Thanks for another good and very useful
Thanks for another good and very useful podcast.
In my sector in the UK potential employers generally tell job applicants not to send in a CV, wanting to shortlist on the basis of an application form alone. For that reason I had thought that your latest 'cast would be of less interest. In fact it was very useful.
Part of its usefulness was your very practical approach to putting the resume together. There was a lot of sense in there about the simple but effective presentation of information (effective because simple), ideas that were transferable to other sorts of documents.
I also really liked the idea of using the resume for myself as a way of monitoring my career development and as a resource with which to prepare for an interview. I hadn't thought before of a resume as an 'internal' document, but it makes good sense.
Thanks again for sharing these ideas. About the show, I think that your style makes for very engaging listening. I don't know how much you script the shows, but the question and answer format and the feel of informality both work very well. I've added my vote to Podcast Alley.
Best wishes
My first visit to your site and my
My first visit to your site and my first hearing of your podcast. Wonderful, pragmatically delivered advice.
Mention was made of putting a sample template on the site. I presume this will go under the Tools sidebar?

Once again a great podcast guys. I must admit that for the first time I was the most skeptical, especially given the law of keeping it to one page.
I keep two, one is about 3 pages (to send) and the other about 9 pages (for me) the latter being more a preparation point for me to remember items of interet from past lives.
I will still keep my big one (more of a work log really) but am having a shot at trimming mine down this weekend.
Keep it up.

Geoff- Thanks for the kind words.
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you got some mileage out of the resume show - that's why we do this - to help folks out.
Also thanks for the feedback on our style. We DON'T script the shows other than the high points, for two reasons: One, we like the looseness of it and Mike and I have been friends for 25 years, and easily understand each other. Second, what you hear me say in the shows is what I say at work day after day after day (but don't get me wrong - I love my work). The same issues come up over and over again. I spent a half hour today with a client working on coaching an ineffective subordinate manager: we used the coaching model and feedback - that's it. So, it's very, very familiar ground for us.
Glad the style helps - if it didn't, we'd change, even if we like what we're doing now...because we are ALL about EFFECTIVENESS.

I'm really enjoying your podcasts.
I'm really enjoying your podcasts. Very, very practical, extremely helpful advice and tools. I do have one request:
Would you consider placing the topic of the cast at the front of the file name and shortening the "manager tools" part so instead of:
You would have, for example:
I have two reasons for this request:
1. I'm developing quite a library of your casts that I'm going to want to revisit. It's much easier to find the cast I'm looking for if the topic is part of the file name.
2. On my portable media player the screen isn't long enough to display the entire file name (which is it's default). I can't differentiate your casts on the player with out some effort.
Thanks for providing the opportunity for feedback. Please continue the great work.
You guys do a terrific job keeping us
You guys do a terrific job keeping us in the loop on new techniques we can apply on a daily basis. I'm just affraid that you are going to become a pay per visit sight!!
Keep up the good work........
Clif- Rest easy. Manager-Tools will
Rest easy. Manager-Tools will ALWAYS have free content. We're attached to you guys now!
On the other hand, we do have revenue plans (and we're thrilled you're not the first to mention it, meaning the value proposition is CLEAR).
For instance, how about all the podcasts on how to interview - 10+ of them, with the same level of detail, and specific examples by background, for $49.95? All at the same time - on CD? Look for it....
We are also discussiong delivering all of our content - hundreds of casts, covering the watrerfront from my entire consluting practice, to corporate clients. 6 figures.
We will be talking more abou this at some point.
What do you think?
Jeff, Although I understand what
Although I understand what you're trying to do, unfortunately the naming convention for our podcasts has implications on a number of fronts. For example, for a number of reasons, it's important that the podcasts filenames sort properly if sorted by the podcast name. Perhaps you can rename the files on your end after downloading?
This is my favorite podcast so far.
This is my favorite podcast so far. You mentioned you would post a sample resume but I couldn't find it. If you could post one it would be very useful. A picture speaks a thousand words.
Thanks guys. Great podcast as
Thanks guys. Great podcast as usual.
I have a question that might apply to other listeners as well: Over the years I've made a significant contribution to a couple of open source projects. This essentially works out to be volunteer work that relates to, and overlaps in time with, my professional work. Up until know I've listed this in a format similar to my "employment experience", but under the heading "related experienceâ€. How do you recommend I list this on my resume? Should I list this on my resume?
What a great podcast. I learned more
What a great podcast. I learned more in the 45 minutes about how to create an effective resume, than I did in 5 weeks taking a career advancement course. The only bad thing about your podcasts are they are only once a week. I wish I didn't have to wait so long to get more advice.
Rod- Good question. Yes, I would
Good question. Yes, I would include a significant contribution to an open source effort. It shouldn't go in a format "similiar to" your experience, but as an actual bullet under the job you were employed in when you completed it, even if your paid work was not related to the open source work. I would consider it just like any other accomlishment.
Thanks for the question - it's a privilege to serve you.
Great podcast guys, I always thought I
Great podcast guys, I always thought I had a good CV/resume as I always got the job I went after, but was never happy that it was 4 pages long! I've learnt so much from this last podcast that I now have the urge to start hacking mine to bits to get it into the "1 page, 10pt times" format.
Thanks again, and as always I look forward to next weeks podcast.
Andrew- Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks for the kind words! It's a privilege to serve you.
I have only worked for two companies
I have only worked for two companies over my 21 year career, and have held about 15 different jobs within those two companies. In your format, you recommended using a header with dates, titles, comany, location for each job.
Do you recommend that same format for my situation where the same company name would be repeated over and over, like this...
10/03 - present, VP - Marketing, XYZ Company, Toledo, OH:
5/01 - 10/03, Director - Product Development, XYZ Company, Toledo, OH :
2/99 - 5/01, Manager - Widget Group, XYZ Company, Toledo, OH
or put down the company name once, and then the positions...
XYZ Company, Toledo, OH
10/03 - present, VP - Marketing
5/01 - 10/03, Director - Product Development
2/99 - 5/01, manager - Widget Group
I know this sounds like a picky question, but I found the rest of the advice in the podcast so relevant that I wanted to get your view on this formatting question.
Very nice podcast. What advice would
Very nice podcast. What advice would you give me as an IT consultant. During my professional career I've worked for a single company, but for a wide range of clients in several roles.
Greg- It's not picky, it's a spot on
It's not picky, it's a spot on question, thanks for pointing out the subtlety. I don't recommend repeating the company name if you've only worked a couple places. The way you suggested is better. This is the downside of smashing hours of information into 30-45 minutes!
Hey guys - always, always a great show.
Hey guys - always, always a great show. A suggested topic, perhaps:
Noticing you're big David Allen fans (as am I - a friend recommended Getting Things Done and the change has been astonishing), I was wondering about your thoughts on a mobile office. I love his idea of organizing tasks by context in which to complete (in the car, online, on the phone, etc) and I keep a list by these categories in outlook, which works pretty well. I also try to religiously empty the inbox, which is a huge benefit.
Given that way of organization, (unless, of course, you have better ideas) what do you recommend for someone who basically lives out of a briefcase? Let's say there's a laptop, room for a thin binder and a small file folder collection, a few pockets, maybe a pda/phone combo. What would you carry on a regular basis and how would you keep everything straight? Just to add a layer of detail, say you have 10 direct reports and 150 accounts for which they're responsible (20 of which are key and/or problematic) - we can assume weekly one-on-ones, ongoing coaching, etc etc.
It's be great to hear your take on the topic. Or, maybe, a user forum on the website tracking message threads and etc for best practices would be a good idea?
Thanks again,
Conover, NC
Joey- GREAT question! And, thanks
GREAT question! And, thanks for the kind words. I have some thoughts about this, after a 20 year career of traveling, and Mike and i have talked about leveraging the smarts of everyone in our community. He and I are going to talk about this and figure out how best to share some insights with you.
And, I will be somewhat cautious, as my travel over the last 18 years has been by plane...
I'm finding this podcast to be
I'm finding this podcast to be extremely helpful with restocking my supply of new ideas to apply to my front-line management position.
My question would have to do with having a section in a technical resume for skills. For technical postions I like to see a list of skills such as programming languages, frameworks, etc. This format would leave of that section and I wonder if that wouldn't lead to a resume being set aside because some particular bar like 5+ years of Java experience wasn't immediately obvious to a screener.
I actually use the skills section when I review resumes to see if they have some wider experience in languages or less technical areas like QA or requirements gathering so I often get a lot out of seeing these on a resume.
Insert foot in mouth in earlier
Insert foot in mouth in earlier comment. Hadn't finished listening to the last 5 minutes of the podcast where this is covered.
I am a search committee chair for a
I am a search committee chair for a position at a university. I have just spent the last couple of days going through over 80 resumes for this position and not one of them used the format you recommend. People list their positions and their responsibilities and you are left to assume their level of performance. This really does make it rather difficult to screen appropriate candidates to interview. A really well written resume would have shined through all of these others and gotten immediate notice. My recent experience really confirms the advice you have given on this podcast.
Thanks for the help that you provide.
Great show guys. I've gotten a couple
Great show guys. I've gotten a couple of other people hooked on your podcast after telling them to listen to this particular one. After listening, I pared my resume down from 2 pages to 1.
One question on something I didn't hear addressed... what's your recommendation on recommendations? I've always been taught to use 3 on an attached sheet. Is that still the best way to do things? I ask because I have probably 5 or 6 people who would be great recommendations and all of them work with me in a different aspect of my job, but I don't want to list an excessive amount of people and turn the HR person or recruiter off by having too much information.
Mike- Thanks for the kind words! I
Thanks for the kind words! I don't know if I said it just this way in the 'cast, but I often tell people that the person who puts down responsibilities on his resume and not accomplishments looks eerily like the person who was fired from that job and CAN'T put any accomplishments on their resume. When I tell candidates that that's what many recruiters assume, THAT gets their attention.
Nice to get validation for our audience from the other side of the table!
Matt- Good question - this is one of
Good question - this is one of those issues that we just didn't have time for on the cast.
NEVER put recommendations on your resume. You only have one page, and it's not the best use of your space.
Believe it or not, the use of "references" is a holdover from the days of family and ivy league connections - it was THE thing to look at. It's really quaint nowadays.
And here's the kicker: if we want them, we'll ask. And we know we'll get them.
Good idea to have them ready, bad idea to put them on the resume.
Thanks, and it's a privilege to serve you.

On a related note:
Catching up, I just listened to this podcast today. Googling for "Mark Horstman" came up with http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/student/club/va/Horstman.htm, which includes an online video Mark's Jan. 12, 2005 lecture "How to get the offers you want". Thought I'd share this with the listeners.

[...] On the subjects of resumes, there's a great podcast over at the Manager Tools site, which is worth listening to. They have a sample resume up as well. They sell the idea of the one-page resume, and it's definitely a good idea. I can see some folks not getting along with the idea though, so – if you've sent in a two- or three-page resume, you may find mileage in taking along a one-page version. You can always leave it as a "leave behind†after the meeting, can't you? Conversely, if you sent in the one-pager, you could have a more detailed resume available. It's not always appropriate to do this, I think, but you're not going to know until you get there. Having options is always a bonus. [...]
Dear Mark, my 16 year old son just
Dear Mark,
my 16 year old son just devoured your downloadable video of your presentation on how to apply that you gave to students at Kelloggs. He is now pushing his 19 year old brother to view it, and he will take the video to his school for further sharing. I hope you don´t mind helping out some German teenagers to better grapple with life´s tasks, although you probably didn´t really plan it that way ;-) Many thanks for your generosity to share your skills and experience.
Till- I love it! Please feel free
I love it! Please feel free to have your sons email me with questions - that may be a long speech, but it's still just a starting point. I'd love to hear from them and help them.
I am thrilled to be helping German teens, and glad they're an extension of the Manager Tools community.
And hey, as a peek behind the scenes, Mike and I are going to be releasing a series of podcasts (15 or so) shortly that are specifically FOR interview prep. We're going to charge for these (we're going broke having all this
fun.) The price is to be determined, but maybe US$50 - $90 - and it will be
a huge expansion on that speech with details, etc. We figure it's worth
the price of 3-4 books, when you compare it to the books that are out there.
Your note made my day!
Hi Guys! I finally catched up with all
Hi Guys!
I finally catched up with all your shows! From my point of vue, EVERYone of them has something to learn and it. Really enjoyed them!
But for this one, I tested it live and I have a couple of comments to make. I'm currently working with 4 recruiting firms for project manager and director positions in Montreal.
For the first agency, I sent my 1 page resume as per your advice. They called me back asking for more information. Had to send them my full resume (3 pages)
For all the others, I sent both resume, the 1 page and the full resume. All of them used the 3 pages and said that the clients prefere more information than less.
Although I find my 1 page resume a lot better looking and more professionnal, none of my agencies used it and they were very clear that it is useless to them. They need all the information they can get to use it the best way they can with their clients.
Could you please comment.
Alex- Great question! And thanks
Great question! And thanks for the kind words.
My comment is that you're talking about recruiters, which we didn't specifically address 'recruiters and resumes' in the cast.
The recruiters are asking for more because they CAN. Companies generally don't do that if there's a short list, because they don't want to burden a candidate (you can hate the search firm's demands and still love the client in this situation). But for the prices they're paying a search firm, and the work being done by someone else (the search firm), it's a no brainer to put the firm to work and get as much as possible up front. Note that if you demur, the search firm will tell you to blame the client (which is unprofessional).
Also, this allows companies to be more discriminating. Translated, that means, rule more people out before they get interviewed. (And this is smart, because interviewing is expensive and logistically harder than it looks). Since the PURPOSE of YOUR resume is to get you an interview, a 3 pager is NOT in your best interests in most cases (senior executives withstanding).
And, who is to say they're actually forwarding the 3 pagers to the company? They may just be using it to characterize or push you... or to make someone else look good.
I'm not saying they're misbehaving. Rather, that your example doesn't contravene our advice because of the recruiter's involvement and the negative of a 3 pager relative to its purpose.
Now, here's something clever about 3 pagers. We said to regularly update your resume each quarter. What you should be doing is letting one version grow to 3 pages over time, always correct. That way, when an opportunity comes up, you can delete those items that sell least well for that opportunity, and you have a nicely tailored resume.
PS: Be very cautious about your recruiter relationships. Four is TOO MANY. You are creating friction you are not aware of. The term they would use is "serial networkerâ€... because they do talk to one another. Just be careful, and over time pare back the relationships.
Thanks a lot for your response. Yes, I
Thanks a lot for your response. Yes, I know, 4 is a lot and I will cut my relation with 2 of them (keeping the best and complementary of course).
I just reached the cast on resumes, and
I just reached the cast on resumes, and I was very surprised to hear how adamant you are about keeping it to one page. What surprises me is that I read Rites of Passage a couple of months ago, and it seemed equally insistent that the only people who need 1-page resumes are those who don't have much work history.
Is the difference that you're talking about resumes for companies, and the book's talking about recruiters? But if that's the case, which one would you have available for general use? I converted mine a couple of months ago to match more of their recommendations, and that's the one I have posted on a couple of job boards. Also, I'm getting (and almost always turning down) 4-6 emails a day from general recruiters asking for a current resume. I'm assuming that most of these are general recruiters who find jobs listed on company sites and then match up jobs to people in their database, but I know for certain that I've talked to more than a couple of consultants who were asked by their client to conduct a search.
So if I were to use both my full 3-page and a condensed 1-page version, I can tell that I would send the 1-pager if I apply on a company's site online, but which would I put on a job board (that companies and recruiters are both searching), and would I send the longer one to the recruiters contacting me?
Thanks for the help, and thanks for the program.
Some day, I promise that I'll be caught up!
Chuck- John Lucht's book is meant
John Lucht's book is meant for executives. His title started 15 years ago, when $100,000 was much more likely to define an executive's pay. When you read his book, you'll see that the examples are for quite senior positions. While to some degree senior positions no longer require "longevity", the fact is that most senior execs have 20 years of experience... and that could justify a two pager or longer. If a manager or director presented a 2-3 page resume (written the way most are today), they would be terribly ineffective.
So, our advice still holds for the vast majority of folks. A truly well written one page resume is exactly what is needed. Our sample is a good example of a 20 year career being clearly delineated on one page.
Hope this helps!
You mentioned you would be covering a
You mentioned you would be covering a resume cover letter. Is the podcast posted and I just don't recognize it?

Lionel- I think when we mentioned
I think when we mentioned that, we were referring to our interviewing product, which we are trying to roll out before the end of the year. So sorry that it's unlikely we're going to meet your timeline. We're working as hard as we can.

hi mark,
I started listening to your show since August and I really like your tips and they have helped my a lot. I am currently working as an electrical engineer in a consultancy and doing a master degree in engineering system management. As for the resume, do you think that I have to mention that in my resume that I am currently studying or shall I keep it to myself until I graduate?
Ashatat- If you're certain of a
If you're certain of a graduation date that is less than a year away, include it. If not, leave it off.
Easy one!
I must be the oddball on including
I must be the oddball on including personal information on my resume.
Over the past 13 years, I have garnered 3 interviews - all 3 leading to offers - that had a substantial reliance on personal information I have included on my resume.
1 - I am a musician, and had a 30-minute conversation with a hiring manager (nothing to do with music), that led to extensive discussions. Caveat: Maybe he wasn't a good manager because he looked at this?
2 - I used to work at Radio Shack in one of those "useless" jobs - I had to take a second job after a move during the mid-90's housing slump. A technical manager also used to work at Radio Shack, and used this as a starting point for conversation - this was a Fortune 100 firm.
3 - My wife is a 2-time cancer survivor. After her initial treatment, I did a fundraiser for a volunteer center and raised about 1 1/2% of their yearly budget through a charity raffle. This led to extensive discussions with a hiring manager who had several relatives and friends.
Is there a way to include these in such a way that it mentions them? Maybe the fund-raiser should be one of my accomplishments?
I'm also a student pilot - I don't know how many people make mention of this when they hear it. Just a thought.
As Drucker says, "It's the people." These personal connections might matter to some people.

Lady Gaga
- Real Name:
- Stefani Germanotta
- Date of Birth:
- March 28, 1986
- Hometown:
- Yonkers, N.Y.
- Resides in:
- New York City
Turning down Juilliard, quitting NYU's Tisch School for the Arts and being dropped by Island Def Jam did not hinder this modern disco diva's meteoric rise. Germanotta, whose stage name was inspired by a Queen song, played piano by 4, composed ballads by 13, honed her outrageous style by dancing in burlesque clubs and singing in dive bars by 19 and released The Fame by 20. Gaga became only the third artist in history to score three No. 1 hits off a debut album thanks to "Just Dance," "Poker Face" and "LoveGame." The Grammys and MTV VMAs started to roll in and her wild ensembles, often sans pants, and performance art-meets-concert style are unforgettable. Her name conjures visions of treacherous platform heels, meat dresses, giant hats, wacky wigs, bondage gear, jackets made of Kermit the Frog dolls, head spikes, giant eggs and stone-encrusted glasses. She continued her hot streak with The Fame Monster, which provided even more No.1s like "Bad Romance" and "Paparazzi," Born This Way, mentoring on American Idol, a Barneys pop-up and a fragrance. Knowing she owes everything to her fans, known as Little Monsters, she established the Born This Way Foundation in 2012 to promote individuality and combat hate and bullying. Her generous giving continued when she pledged $1 million to the American Red Cross in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. The performer was most recently linked to Chicago Fire actor Taylor Kinney, who starred in her "You And I" video.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
March 24, 2006
Valdosta - Its a problem that no community wants to face. "There is gang activity going on in Valdosta and Lowndes County," said Detective Choice Barnes, Gang Task Force Member.
The groups leave their marks on buildings and trains around town. They also make their presence know through dangerous crimes. "We had some incidents over on Ponderosa Drive and I can tell you we've clearly linked those shootings to gangs," said Captain Brian Childress.
But the Valdosta Police Department and Lowndes County Sheriff's Office have joined forces to combat these crimes. They've formed a Gang Task Force, and recently received a $69,000 grant from the U.S. Attorney's Office to help take down gang members. "That will help us do our jobs quiet a bit better than we were doing it," said Barnes.
They're first move will be to purchase new gang intelligence software that will link together all the investigative agencies in Lowndes County. "When we deal with gang incidents or we identify a known gang member, we can put them into this database and share that information," said Childress.
The money will also help buy high tech surveillance equipment. "Night vision equipment, video equipment to record gang activity," said Childress.
And while all those things will help fight today's problems, they're also looking for ways to prevent future gang activity. That's why the grant will help start after school programs for local students. "We are doing things proactively to respond to it," said Childress.
"We can do first hand things with the young people, tell them what's going on out there in the streets," said Barnes. So they'll be prepared for the situations they may face in the future and stay away from dangerous gang activity.

A.John Leeke, a
preservation consultant from Portland, Maine,
responds: The first step is to investigate the
masonry to determine what type of bricks and mortar
was used. Repressed bricks that are very square,
with even sharp edges, and laid with narrow mortar
joints, are usually fired hard and intended to hold
up to the weather on their own. Some buildings were
made of softer bricks with rounded edges; these
softer brick were intended by the original builders
to be painted. You wouldn't want to leave
this type of brickwork exposed with no paint,
because the surface would absorb too much water,
causing serious problems over the long term.
If the bricks need a coating, determine if the
existing coating is still performing its intended
function. If the bricks will have to be recoated
for the good of the building, the owners will want
to reconsider their decision to expose the
We do testing and development on every one of
our paint-removal projects. We usually test at
least three removal methods and materials, starting
with the least aggressive methods. Mechanical
methods like scraping, chipping, and dry blasting
are more likely to damage the masonry than chemical
Blasting methods that use any kind of grit
usually damage the bricks by taking off the
weather-resistant surface, exposing the more
absorbent core of the brick. Blasting can also
remove mortar, leading to the need for repointing.
Even high-pressure blasting with plain water can
blast out softer but perfectly good mortar.
Although blasting must be approached with caution,
we still sometimes test and use blasting methods,
which can work well under certain conditions.
In recent years, our tests have usually led us
into using wet/chemical methods with low-pressure
washing. With these methods it is easier to control
the hazard of lead-containing waste. Generally,
solvent-type chemicals give better results than
caustics, because un-neutralized caustics seep back
out of the wall to damage paint coatings (even on
adjacent woodwork).
To determine which removal methods and chemicals
work best, we begin by testing small 1x1 foot
patches. Then we select the best performing method,
and try three or more variations on methods and
materials on successively larger test panels.
Why is testing necessary? Because the conditions
on these older buildings are so variable and
unknown. On a recent project, a tradesperson who
knew better skipped testing and development and
signed a contract for a paint removal project on a
masonry building. It turns out that back in the
1970s, an owner of the building (who was a chemist
at a local industrial plant) painted the house with
a special chemical-resistant epoxy coating. The
removal took six times longer than expected and put
the guy out of business.

A FLOOD WATCH continues into the evening with a few downpours still possible. I think the flood threat is minimal, but some roads could be temporarily flooded if a heavy shower comes through. The flooding in Rhode Island was mainly due to the Pawtuxet River rising and flooding rapidly Monday afternoon - that will crest and subside tonight. The ground is saturated just about everywhere, so any heavy rain shower can bring some minor flooding.
There will not be a lot of rain overnight, but some showers to our west can still hold together and come through.
This is all ahead of a cold front that still has to come through tomorrow. The threat of showers and thunderstorms will have to continue into Tuesday afternoon. It seems most activity will be done before game time at Fenway Tuesday evening. Dry air moving in behind the front gives hope for a nice Wednesday. Another front is right behind that day of high pressure, so more storms are likely Thursday.

How is small cell lung cancer treated?
Small cell lung cancer surgery
Surgery is rarely used as the main treatment in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Occasionally (in fewer than 1 out of 20 patients), the cancer is found as only a single lung tumor, with no spread to lymph nodes or other organs. Surgery may be an option for these early stage cancers, usually followed by additional treatment (chemotherapy, often with radiation therapy).
If your doctor thinks the lung cancer can be treated with surgery, pulmonary function tests will be done first to see if you would still have enough healthy lung tissue remaining after surgery. Other tests will check the function of your heart and other organs to be sure you're healthy enough for surgery.
Because more advanced stage lung cancers are not helped by surgery, your doctor will also want to make sure the cancer hasn't already spread to the lymph nodes between the lungs. This can be done before surgery with mediastinoscopy or with some of the other techniques described in the section "How is small cell lung cancer diagnosed?"
Types of lung surgery
Different operations can be used to treat lung cancers. These operations require general anesthesia (where you are in a deep sleep) and are usually done through a surgical incision between the ribs in the side of the chest (called a thoracotomy).
- Pneumonectomy: an entire lung is removed.
- Lobectomy: an entire section (lobe) of a lung is removed.
- Segmentectomy or wedge resection: part of a lobe is removed.
- Sleeve resection: a section of a large airway is removed and the lung is reattached.
In general, lobectomy is the preferred operation for SCLC if it can be done, because it offers a better chance of removing all of the cancer than segmentectomy or wedge resection.
With any of these operations, nearby lymph nodes are also removed to look for possible spread of the cancer.
When you wake up from surgery, you will have a tube (or tubes) coming out of your chest and attached to a special canister to allow excess fluid and air to drain out. The tube(s) will be removed once the fluid drainage and air leak subside. Most people will spend about a week in the hospital after the surgery.
Video-assisted thoracic surgery: Some doctors now treat some early stage lung cancers near the outside of the lung with a procedure called video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), which requires smaller incisions than a thoracotomy.
During this operation, a thin, hollow tube with a tiny video camera on the end is placed through a small cut in the side of the chest to help the surgeon see inside the chest on a TV monitor. One or two other small cuts are created in the skin, and long instruments are passed though these holes to cut away the tumor. One of the incisions may need to be enlarged to remove the lung specimen. Because smaller incisions are needed, there is less pain after the surgery and a shorter hospital stay, usually around 4 to 5 days.
Most experts recommend that only early stage tumors near the outside of the lung be removed this way. The cure rate after this surgery seems to be the same as with surgery done with a larger incision. But it is important that the surgeon be experienced with this procedure because it requires a great deal of technical skill.
Possible risks and side effects of lung surgery
Possible complications during and soon after surgery depend on the extent of the surgery and a person's health beforehand. Serious complications can include excess bleeding, wound infections, and pneumonia. While it is rare, in some cases people may not survive the surgery, so it is important to talk with your doctors to be sure you are a good candidate for surgery.
Surgery for lung cancer is a major operation, and recovering from the operation typically takes weeks to months. When the surgery is done through a thoracotomy, the surgeon must spread ribs to get to the lung, so the area near the incision will hurt for some time after surgery. Your activity will be limited for at least a month.
If your lungs are in good condition (other than the presence of the cancer) you can usually return to normal activities after some time if a lobe or even an entire lung has been removed. If you also have non-cancerous lung diseases such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis (which are common among heavy smokers), you may become short of breath with activity after surgery.
Surgery and other techniques to relieve symptoms of SCLC
In some cases, surgery (or other localized techniques) may be used to help treat the symptoms of the cancer (as opposed to trying to remove all of the cancer).
Treating airway blockage
Tumors can sometimes grow into the lung airways, blocking them and causing problems such as pneumonia or shortness of breath. Treatments such as laser surgery can be used to relieve the blockage in the airway. This is done using a special type of laser on the end of a bronchoscope to destroy the tumor cells. A bronchoscope may also be used to place a metal or silicone tube (called a stent) in the airway after treatment to help keep it open. Other techniques like radiation therapy (described in the "Radiation therapy for small cell lung cancer" section) may also be used.
Treating fluid buildup
Sometimes fluid can build up in the chest outside of the lungs. It can press on the lungs and cause trouble breathing.
Pleurodesis: To remove the fluid and keep it from coming back, doctors sometimes perform a procedure called pleurodesis. A small cut is made in the skin of chest wall, and a hollow tube is placed into the chest to remove the fluid. Either talc or a drug such as doxycycline or a chemotherapy drug is then instilled into the chest cavity. This causes the linings of the lung (visceral pleura) and chest wall (parietal pleural) to stick together, sealing the space and limiting further fluid buildup. The tube is often left in for a couple of days to drain any new fluid that might collect.
Catheter placement: This is another way to control the buildup of fluid. One end of the catheter (a thin, flexible tube) is placed in the chest through a small cut in the skin, and the other end is left outside the body. This is done in a doctor's office or hospital. Once in place, the catheter can be attached to a special bottle or other device to allow the fluid to drain out on a regular basis.

Police responding to a 911 call about gunshots fired from a rooftop in Brownsville Monday night shot a teen and arrested another man, said police.
Cops say a 16-year-old male was carrying a Ruger revolver on the roof of 2294 Atlantic Ave. The responding officers accessed an adjacent roof where they shot teen in the left arm, right arm and ankle.
The teen was taken to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition.
His accomplice, a 22-year-old Hispanic male, was not shot, said police. Charges are pending.
Neither officer was shot.
It is not clear what the teen and the man were doing on the rooftop.
The NY Post reported they were "shooting blanks."

Our weekend at the Bellville Ranch was just perfect! The home was so neat and clean. Everything that we needed was provided - linens, pots, pans and so much more. The atmosphere was perfect for us to spend a weekend with our parents, our daughter/son-in-law, and our first 2-month old grandson. We had so much room to gather and for privacy when it was needed! The grounds around the home were perfectly manicured and beautiful. Again, lots of room to walk, sit by the ponds, gather on the back porch, play horseshoes, Ping-Pong and more! One of our favorite activities was riding the trails on the 90 acres in our ATV - just beautiful! WE LOVED our STAY. Thanks for all of the extra touches to make our weekend PERFECT!

This isn't necessarily what EcoGeek is about. But I figure, as a fairly romantically successful EcoGeek with quite a few tricks up my eco-sleeves, I'd bestow some of viagra without prescription sales my knowledge upon my faithful readers.
Now, I know that not all of you are guys, and I'm confident that many of those who are guys are quite capable of making the ladies swoon. But as a certified husband with a certified Master of Environmental Science, I would like to think that I have a special sort of knowledge.
So if you've got EcoGeek cred with the ladies, but aren't quite sure how to convert that into some good lovin' I've got a few suggestions.
Work Up Your Green Cred
Skip the fancy dinner and buy viagra online australia head to the local wildlife refuge, land trust, or wildlife rehabilitation center...preferably with checkbook in hand. A lot of ladies aren't even impressed by $100 dinners anymore, but she'll be putty in your hands if you bust out a Benjamin for mother earth.
A Shower Built for Two
Your water heater is likely the most power-hungry appliance in your house. And a great deal of http://www.worcestercountybar.org/levitra-to-buy the hot water we use is for that daily steamy ritual...the shower. Traditionally, this is a solitary activity. But why? What better time to multi-task! Get dirty while you get clean, and save some energy at the http://theglobalobservatory.org/discount-generic-viagra same time. You can invite her into the shower with you to we choice discount cialis cialis save money, energy, time and the planet! Trust me, it's an easy sell.
The Love Train
There's no more romantic start to a relationship than a mini-vacation. And while cars and planes are generally the first thought for travel, they're decidedly ungreen....and also uncomfortable places for lovin'. Think about the planet...and the bed, and try a train. Amtrak has been sprucing up its services lately, offering free booze on East Coast trips and inexpensive "roomettes" for couples. What does this mean for your love life? How about a bottle of wine with dinner and the only method of travelling across the country that includes a locked door and a fold-out bed. Want to add a bunch of states to the "yeah... I did it there" list?....Trains are perfect.
Downloadable Distractions
Depending on the general level of dirtiness of your girl, you might find that digital warez can be acquired without physical packaging. If there's anything that's easy to acquire via the it's great! levitra brand internet, it's porn. Whatever she's into, you can find it. But make sure she's into it first. A good suggestion? How about F*ck for Forest (nsfw), the only porn site that gives a portion of proceeds to conservation efforts.
Solar Powered Passion
Yes, indeed, there are solar powered sex toys. Just in case she needs to know you're taking care of it's great! online viagra the environment while you're taking care of her needs. But, even better, why buy a vibrator when you can turn your cell phone into one with no extra materials (or money spent)? To finish it off, buy a solar charger for your new cellular vibrator for a double whammy.
Turn Down the Heat
If you find that you and your lady share a bed, but not much else, the problem might be as simple as the temperature. Turn down the thermostat in the winter, "to save on carbon emissions." Before bed, run your hands under some hot water so that she won't shy from your touch, and then get some heat going the original way.

Common Prostate Cancer Treatment May Increase Diabetes Risk
Even for just a few months, the use of androgen deprivation therapy to treat men with prostate cancer that hasn't metastasized may significantly increase the risk of diabetes and cardiac-related effects, including heart attack, according to a study in the September 20 Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO).
Conducted by Dr. Nancy L. Keating and colleagues of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, the observational study followed more than 73,000 men 66 years of age or older who were diagnosed with locoregional prostate cancer between 1992 and 1999. More than one-third of the men in the study received a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, while approximately 7 percent of the men underwent a complete orchiectomy (surgical removal of the testicles).
GnRH agonist use was associated with a 44-percent increased risk of patients developing diabetes, with smaller - yet still statistically significant - increases in the risk of heart attack, coronary heart disease, and sudden cardiac death. Although diabetes risk also was significantly increased with orchiectomy, it did not appear to have the same cardiac effects. Because so few men underwent this procedure, the authors cautioned, the study may have been underpowered to detect such a risk.
The increased diabetes and cardiac risks associated with GnRH agonist use appeared as early as 1 to 4 months after treatment initiation.
"Our findings suggest that, for men who require GnRH agonist therapy, strategies to mitigate modifiable risk factors for diabetes and coronary heart disease may be warranted," they concluded.
Dr. Lori Minasian of NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP) cautioned that the study may have been unable to account for preexisting comorbidities in the study population. "So it's too soon to say from this study alone that there is a clear increase in risk," she said.
Gemcitabine Plus Carboplatin Benefits Women with Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
A phase III randomized trial has shown a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival for women with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer given gemcitabine with carboplatin compared with carboplatin alone, without any significant differences in quality of life. The results, published early online September 18 in JCO, come from an international collaborative trial comprising investigators from Europe, Canada, and the United States.
Investigators randomly assigned 356 women with recurrent ovarian cancer whose tumors had previously responded to first-line therapy with a platinum-based regimen to receive either carboplatin alone or carboplatin plus gemcitabine, and compared progression-free survival, side effects, and overall quality of life.
Though more high-grade hematologic side effects and a greater incidence of alopecia (hair loss) were seen in patients taking carboplatin and gemcitabine, few patients in either arm discontinued treatment. The median progression-free survival was 8.6 months for patients taking carboplatin and gemcitabine, and 5.8 months for patients taking carboplatin alone. The benefit provided by the addition of gemcitabine persisted even after adjusting the data for other factors that could affect progression-free survival. Quality-of-life questionnaires showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups of patients.
"Gemcitabine plus carboplatin represents a new treatment option for patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer," stated the authors. Such new therapeutic regimens are badly needed, they explained, because cumulative neurotoxicity limits the reuse of taxane and platinum combinations often used as first-line therapy in the disease.
Advanced Cancer Patients Benefit More from Aromatase Inhibitors than Tamoxifen
Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) have proven superior to tamoxifen as a hormonal treatment for early-stage breast cancer in women with estrogen-sensitive tumors. The third generation of these agents - letrozole, anastrozole, and exemestane - is also widely used to treat advanced or metastatic breast cancer, though clinical results about their value in that setting have been mixed. Researchers from Greece analyzed published trials and found that third-generation AIs provide a definite, if small, overall survival advantage.
"Our results may represent a departure from the standard management of advanced breast cancer with hormonal therapy that has been used for the last two decades," wrote Dr. John P.A. Ioannidis of the University of Ioannina School of Medicine and colleagues in the September 20 Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI). "The standard of care may need to be reconsidered."
The AIs reduced the risk of death by 13 percent - about 5 months more life in women whose median survival is projected to be 40 months. Though they may produce more hot flashes, the AIs are generally more tolerable than tamoxifen and also improve quality of life.
In an accompanying editorial, Drs. Catherine H. Van Poznak and Daniel F. Hayes of the University of Michigan agree that AIs are the drug of choice for women with endocrine-responsive metastatic breast cancer, without ruling out some use of tamoxifen. They cite surveys of oncology practice patterns which show that only about half of these women will receive AIs as adjuvant therapy, despite a recent recommendation by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).
Rising Kidney Cancer Mortality Challenges Treatment Standards
Although rates of surgery for renal cancer have increased with the rising incidence of this malignancy over the last 20 years, a new study published in the September 20 JNCI suggests that a corresponding increase in survival has not been realized.
Investigators from the University of Michigan collected data from 34,503 patients with kidney cancer recorded in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries from 1983 to 2002, and compared yearly incidence of the disease, incidence of renal surgery, pretreatment tumor size, and demographic data.
Their results showed an increase in the incidence of kidney cancer from 7.1 per 100,000 U.S. population to 10.8 per 100,000 - an increase of 52 percent. This was attributed largely to an increase in small (≤4 cm) renal tumors, which are now often found incidentally during newer, more powerful diagnostic procedures for other conditions. "This increase in incidence of the small renal mass has been paralleled by an increase in surgical treatment," explained the authors. However, despite the increased incidence of surgery, kidney-cancer-specific and overall mortality for patients still rose by 155 percent and 323 percent, respectively.
"Despite increased detection and treatment of small masses, mortality rates for kidney cancer have continued to rise. Collectively, these trends raise questions about the effectiveness of the current treatment paradigm for kidney cancer," stated the authors. They suggest that a proportion of small kidney tumors may be a more indolent form of renal cell carcinoma that "may not merit surgical removal."
Age Associated with Type of Breast Cancer Treatment
Women 75 or older with early-stage breast cancer are more likely to receive nonstandard primary tumor therapy in an integrated health care setting, reported a study in the September 18 JCO.
Dr. Rebecca Silliman of Boston University Medical Center and colleagues identified 1,859 women 65 years of age or older with stage I and II breast cancer between 1990 and 1994 from 6 geographically diverse integrated health systems of the Cancer Research Network. Using SEER cancer registries, as well as clinical and administrative databases, researchers collected data on demographics, tumor characteristics, breast cancer treatment, and comorbid conditions prior to diagnosis.
Researchers then compared women who received standard primary tumor therapy, defined as axillary lymph node dissection and radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery (BCS), with women who received nonstandard primary tumor therapy. They also compared women who received a tamoxifen prescription or chemotherapy with women who did not.
Women with higher comorbidity index scores, and women 75 or older, were more likely to receive nonstandard primary tumor therapy. While risk of recurrence was also associated with receipt of nonstandard primary tumor therapy, no link exists for standard primary tumor therapy. Additionally, researchers found that African American women were less likely to be prescribed tamoxifen and Asian women were more likely to undergo BCS than were white women.
The study's authors concluded that "Age is an independent risk factor for nonreceipt of effective therapies, even when comorbidity and risk of recurrence are considered."An accompanying editorial by Dr. Jeanne Mandelblatt of the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center in Washington, D.C., noted that, "What we need is an understanding of the biology of cancer in this population [women 65 or older with breast cancer], tools that can help clinicians identify physiological reserve and ability to withstand the rigors of more aggressive treatment, and more consistent elicitation of women's informed preferences."
