Looking to convince your boss to begin blogging? The first step to address concerns about time constraints, writes Jamie Pappas in Information Week.
Executives already have full schedules, so set clear expectations on how often they should write blogs posts and how long those posts should be.
Pappas writes that executives should strive for passion, commitment and authenticity. And employing a ghostwriter is definitely a no-no.

HoopsHype Brett Yormark rumors
The Nets wouldn't miss Carter's money if he were to transition from NBA ownership to NBA player management. Rather, the franchise would miss its biggest international symbol, someone veteran swingman Jerry Stackhouse described as "iconic." Nets and Barclays Center chief executive Brett Yormark didn't respond to an interview request, but did claim in a February interview that Carter was a major attraction for segments of the team's fan base. "You have other people who like us because we've married the world of sports to entertainment because of Jay-Z," Yormark said. Wall Street Journal
On Wednesday, Brett Yormark and children from the Madison Square Boys and Girls Club cut the ribbon on a Brooklyn Nets-themed basketball court at the club's Navy Yard Clubhouse on Nassau Street. The court is a replica of the Nets home court (minus the herringbone but with the logos). It took about two months and $75,000 to renovate, all of it paid for by the Nets CEO's Yormark Family Foundation.The court was the foundation's first project. The new gym has a new basketball court, bleachers and wall padding. After the ribbon cutting, hundreds of local residents watched two club team dedicate the court. NetsDaily
After the game, Nets CEO Brett Yormark tweeted, "Nets fans deserved better today. The entire organization needs to work harder to find the solution. We will get there." A spokesman later said Yormark wasn't referring to just the team's recent performance, including yesterday's loss, but several issues that cropped up during the day, including the microphone cutting out during the first part of singer Darlene Love's rendition of the national anthem. New York Post
In the third installment of Jay-Z's docu-series on the Nets move to Brooklyn, filmmakers explore (and we're being kind) "The Rivalry," a wild discussion between Nets fans and Knicks fans. With Brett Yormark starring as the voice of reason and everyone else (including a comedian known as "Fat Jew") taking pot shots at Manhattan or Brooklyn, it's easily the most entertaining of the series. It appears on Jay-Z's new YouTube channel, Life+Times. NetsDaily
The Nets have spent the last 35 years fighting to gain a foothold in the New York market. But despite plying their trade within shouting distance of the New York City skyline, despite making back-to-back NBA Finals appearances led by future Hall of Fame point guard Jason Kidd, the Nets have never been able to make a significant dent into the immense popularity of the Knicks in the area. "I think when we were in New Jersey, we didn't really have the platform to do that," Nets CEO Brett Yormark said. "We were the after thought. We were certainly the second team in the market. That's not debatable." New York Post
Nate Taylor: Nets CEO Brett Yormark: "I don't think there is any game bigger than Nets-Knicks on opening night in Brooklyn." Twitter
Stefan Bondy: Nets CEO Brett Yormark: "We are going to have a homecourt advantage in Brooklyn. And we'll experience that on opening night." Twitter
Sixers president Rod Thorn said he has "no comment," after he and Nets CEO Brett Yormark exchanged shots at each other last week. Thorn just wanted to talk about basketball and said the Nets are going to much better this season. He believes Favors is going to be a star in the near future, and if the Nets hold on to him he doesn't foresee a better frontline combo than Favors and Brook Lopez. We know, Thorn drafted them so he has to say that. But he was serious. Bergen Record
I'm very much behind "the Dodgers." "The Brooklyn Dodgers" – it's classic! Yorkmark: (Laughs.) In any case, "Brooklyn" is a very strong word and a wonderful brand. It is probably impossible not to use it. In general, we like "Nets" [as a brand], too. And the Nets have quite a good history, so "Brooklyn Nets" isn't bad at all, although we are still far from a final decision [on the name] and we're not especially in a hurry. Brooklyn gives us great opportunities for development – it's 2,5 million residents. Queens is very close by, and that's 2.1 million more. Directly beneath the [site of the new stadium], nine subway lines intersect, and there's the railroad that connects us to Long Island: The Nets were born on Long Island. Before joining the NBA, we played in the ABA under the name the New York Nets. We … can count on those long-term fans and we'll get new ones in Brooklyn, in Queens. And our fans from New Jersey who want to follow us will have the opportunity. It's a new beginning in their own arena … It will be something special. Ball In Europe
Tell me about Jay-Z. What does it mean to have him among the owners of the team? Yorkmark: Well, Jay is altogether stunning. I've known him well for several years. Last year, it became very difficult. He didn't like what was happening [with the team, with] the image of the team. But now, with the relocation is quite close, he's in a different mood. He has a lot in common with Mikhail on some points, and now they can work together to change the team. Prokhorov is a winner first. He wants to win, he will claim victory, and he will give the team the energy to win. Jay-Z bringing celebrity status also doesn't hurt. Especially in New York. So Prokhorov and Jay-Z together – this is very powerful team ownership. Ball In Europe

Barcelona, Spain: At a time when more and more young women are surviving breast cancer and delaying childbirth, it is important to take their needs and wishes about their future fertility into consideration when deciding on treatment, the seventh European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC7) in Barcelona will hear today (Wednesday). Dr. Anne Armstrong, from the Department of Medical Oncology, the Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK, will say that, although survival remains the most important priority for most women, many are also concerned about being able to make choices concerning their fertility and potential to become pregnant.
The use of chemotherapy and hormonal treatments in young women can have significant implications for their fertility. Such treatments can stop the ovaries producing eggs, sometimes temporarily but also permanently, thus leading to an early menopause. Options to preserve fertility include freezing eggs or embryos, and also freezing ovarian tissue for transplant at a later date, although this is a new, and to date, little-used technique.
Because of rising breast cancer survival rates and the trend to delay pregnancy until later in life, childless women increasingly experience fertility dilemmas. Dr. Armstrong and her team decided to investigate women's responses to being told that treatments affected their fertility, as well as their attitudes to fertility options.
Twenty-four women who were under 40 at diagnosis with early-stage breast cancer participated in three focus groups. Seven of them had attended specialist fertility services. The researchers found that fertility was a significant issue for many of them. "Many of them had concerns about the implications on breast cancer survival of fertility preservation, changes to treatment to improve fertility,

This winter, we have brought you tons of spy shots showing upcoming models testing in cold weather. Today, Mercedes took out two of its upcoming models out for a little play in the snow. The first is thenext generation C-Class , which continues to drop of its camouflage.
The next C-Class will take its design inspiration from the F800 Concept Car, which was shown two years ago at the Geneva Motor Show, with a more marked front grille. Still, you should expect more of an evolution than a revolution, because according to Mercedes, its customers will still need to be able to recognize the model.
The new C-Class will be offered with updated version of the current petrol and diesel engines. A hybrid version will be offered for the first time.
The new generation Mercedes C-Class will be unveiled in early 2014. The sedan version will be followed by a station wagon version, a coupe and a convertible.

Obama, Romney Execute Game Plans, Amid Distractions
Essential Reads
The narratives are flying at warp speed in the presidential election. Private equity. Public equity. Bain. Solyndra. President Obama undercut by Newark Mayor Cory Booker and ex-governor Ed Rendell. Mitt Romney drowned out by The Donald. What's a person to think? The general election is only a few weeks old. What has happened in those weeks is not insignificant, because of what they say about the directions the two campaigns are heading and the arguments they want to make, rather than because one candidate or the other has seized the temporary advantage.
Cory Booker's Real Mistake
Essential Reads
Cory Booker is a famous man of action. The mayor of Newark shovels walkways in heavy snowstorms. Recently, he rushed into a burning building to save a woman. Sunday night he was at it again, this time working fast to remove his foot from his mouth. On Sunday morning's Meet the Press, Booker described President Obama's recent campaigns ads attacking Mitt Romney as "nauseating," comparing them to the foiled $10 million plan to remind voters that Obama was a longtime parishioner of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

I make this often for my husband, the soup lover. I do not add all of the black pepper, but do add a little extra red as he likes it spicier. I also saute chicken sausage and add it to the soup to make it more filling. This is a great soup recipe; the fresh seasonings really make a difference.

Astride her raft of ancient bones,
she stands in proud defiance.
She will accept no challenge to her will,
nothing but total compliance,
with blooded bow grasped in hand
and death besides her does stand.
She plays with liquid grace
leading her deathly band.
The darkness of her beauty
shadows the morning light.
The music she composes
sings prelude to the night.
Beguiling queen; no innocence
prevails her icy glare.
A heart in-cased in winters grip,
no remorse, no pity; no cares.
Your cries are percussion to her tune
~the song of death, dismay~
The epilogue of her performance
a symphony of decay.
So bow your head, kiss her feet
in the hypnotic intent of her art
in this the orchestra of death
you now must play a part.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (AP) — A western Kentucky museum has placed the winning bid on the personal papers of two community pioneers linked to a famous novel.
The main interest in the papers of Amos Riley and his son, Camden Riley, was their connection to Josiah Henson, who was a slave on the Riley plantation in Daviess County from 1825 to 1830. Henson went on to become an abolitionist in Canada, and the title character in Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was modeled after him.
Owensboro Museum of Science and History Director Kathy Olson told the Messenger-Inquirer (http://bit.ly/14pozHi ) the museum paid $6,500 for 75 items including a "slave pass" for Henson.
The items went up for auction Friday at Cowan's Auctions Inc. in Cincinnati.

HERNDON, Va., April 2, 2007 – Enterprises running IBM DB2 9 data server software can add the power of virtualization to help improve flexibility and increase utilization rates in the data center, with the assurance that SWsoft Virtuozzo interacts and operates with IBM DB2 9 software.
Virtuozzo operating system (OS) server virtualization software has passed IBM's high standards of testing and validation for DB2 9 and has achieved "Ready for IBM DB2 data server software" status.
"Our operating system server virtualization product is uniquely qualified to handle database and business intelligence workloads because of its low overhead and highly scalable architecture," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO, SWsoft. "IBM's rigorous testing process assures customers they can put the full power of Virtuozzo technology to work on their production servers."
According to Boris Bialek, program director IBM DB2 competitive technologies, "SWsoft Virtuozzo helps to enable the virtualization of IBM DB2 data server based solutions with no performance overhead penalty and can be used to consolidate IBM DB2 databases onto fewer physical servers."
The "Ready for IBM DB2 Data Server Software" program is a process designed for independent software vendors (ISVs) and solution integrators to validate their products for compatibility, stability and operation with IBM DB2 9. The process ensures that Virtuozzo has been proven to easily and successfully integrate with the IBM DB2 data server software.
"OS virtualization is a natural fit for database servers when compared with other types of virtualization technology," said Dan Olds, of Gabriel Consulting Group. "This work by SWsoft and IBM opens new avenues for consolidation of database software applications on fewer servers without sacrificing quality of service."
Virtualization Performance and Manageability
With SWsoft Virtuozzo, a single Linux or Windows operating system instance can be dynamically partitioned into multiple, highly-efficient and scalable virtual environments. Virtuozzo includes patented technology that enables density of up to hundreds of virtual environments on a single physical server.
Unlike virtual machines and hypervisors, Virtuozzo addresses the challenges faced by today's datacenters of operating system sprawl. Its unique architecture and management tools make it the ideal solution for provisioning, monitoring and managing virtualized server resources.

Carrabelle, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/05/2012 -- The Universal Life Church World Headquarters a strong supporter of anti-bullying campaigns amongst today's youth dropped a bomb on teacher John Rosi of Gig Harbor, WA. For Rosi his gig of 18 years as a teacher may just be up? On Saturday, September 1st, 2012 the Universal Life Church World Headquarters released a video on You Tube entitled: "Teacher John Rosi Joins 12 Students in Bullying 13 Year Old" Within the first two days this video has been seen by 25,000+ and the hit counter continues off the chart as one of You Tube's most popular videos.
The raw video is graphic, according to Brother Michael, President and Presiding Bishop of the Universal Life Church World Headquarters, Brother Michael states as follows about John Rosi, "This is a very powerful and a very telling video, in my opinion it most definitely depicts hazing or bullying, but for those who state otherwise, one thing is certain and that is John Rosi clearly lost control of his class as a teacher. To simply transfer this teacher to another district, doing such by the school administrator is inexcusable. John Rosi at the very least should be suspended without pay."
About The Universal Life Church

A psychiatrist pleaded guilty to illegally selling hundreds of Oxycodone prescriptions from her Wayne office in 2011, the U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced on Friday.
Priscilla Ilem, 85, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Joseph Irenas in Camden federal court Friday on a charge of distributing Oxycodone without a legitimate medial purpose and outside the usual course of professional practice. She in August of 2011.
Ilem admitted that she prescribed Oxycodone at intervals inconsistent with legitimate medical treatment, the attorney's office said in a statement. She affirmed that, in her medical opinion, there was an absence of a logical relationship between the Oxycodone, a Schedule II controlled substance, she prescribed and her patients' alleged conditions.
Wayne Police and the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) discovered nearly 300 prescriptions for 238 patients Ilem wrote were filled at a local Walgreens in June and July of 2011.
The criminal complaint against Ilem states she unlawfully prescribed Oxycodone to confidential sources working with the DEA. After office visits that lasted an average of just 10 minutes, and which involved no physical examination or testing, Ilem charged patients a cash fee of $200 and provided a prescription slip for drugs, the complaint states.
Authorities said last August that Ilem was aware she was under investigation. She told police she was concerned that someone was using her name to write prescriptions. DEA special agent Douglas Collier said last August.
Collier said Ilem made the call in an attempt to cover her tracks.
Distribution of such a Schedule II substance carries a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
As part of her guilty plea, Ilem agreed to forfeit $500,000 in illegal proceeds she received to the federal government.
Ilem taught at West Point Military Academy for several years and served in the U.S. Army Reserves for 17 years.
Ilem is scheduled to be sentenced later this year.

Earlier Wednesday, it was reported that Oakland Raiders tackle Jared Veldheer suffered a torn triceps muscle which would have effectively ended his season. There was some hope he could return for the final few weeks, but that was a best-case scenario.
However, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, it appears Veldheer only suffered a partial tear and could make a much quicker return:
Raiders LT Jared Veldheer has only partially torn left triceps; doctors believe he will be available for much of season, per source.
Whatever 'much of the season' is, is of course unknown. However, it's a far better prognosis than the near destruction of Veldheer's season which was thought to be the case just a few short hours ago.
As one of the Raiders best pass blocking tackles, losing Veldheer long term would have been a devastating blow to an already thin line with an iffy quarterback. So while the talented tackle will be sidelined for the foreseeable future, it's very possible he could return in the early weeks of the season, assuming all goes well with the injury.

Big breasts often make a lady have a good body figure. Not everybody however is born with big breasts. There are those individuals who are naturally small breasted. Such people do not always have the standard figure. For them to have a good figure, they have to find ways of developing big breasts.
Adding weight may not be a solution in the development of larger breasts. This is due to the fact that when one adds weight, the whole body adds it. This therefore means that the breasts will still appear smaller in relation to the other body parts. The best way of improving the size of one's breast is through breast implants. For the breast implants to be termed as successful, they have to be very natural looking.
Besides the cosmetic purpose for breast implant, there are also other reasons which may leave one with no alternative but to undergo the procedure. Some of the reasons include; post birth breast correction procedures, the improvement of the breast size after a period of breast feeding. Another common reason for breast implants is when a woman survives breast cancer and she needs correction of the breast size. For breast implants to look natural, in that they blend perfectly with the body and appear as though they are the natural boobs, there are quite a number of factors that one should consider.
Among the factors that one should consider, is the size of the body. This factor matters quite a lot. The height and the weight determine the size of breast one should choose. One who does not look at these factors keenly stands the risk of getting breast implants that look either too big or too small for the body. Before making the choice on which size of breast implants to pick, one should seek the advice of an expert in the field. This is due to the fact that they know which size of a breast to pick relating it to the body weight and height. The other features like the hips must also be looked at.
Another factor that should be considered by one who wants natural looking breast implants is the professional expertise of the surgeon who is to carry out the procedure. Unqualified plastic surgeons give terrible results like in the case of Melanie Griffith's plastic surgery. The results of her surgeries were awful because the surgeon was not well qualified. When you choose your plastic surgeon carefully, like Holly Madison did, the results are bound to be great.
The healthcare facility from which the procedure is to be done is also a matter of concern. You should pick a facility that is well stocked with all the equipment and medication that may be needed during the procedure. This ensures that your doctor goes through the operation smoothly and hence a high probability of success. An individual who desires to have natural looking breast implants should be careful about the above factors among others and they will be sure to get the results just like they want them to be.

'Alien skull' spotted on Mars
UFO spotters are claiming they have spotted an alien skull on Mars after NASA beamed back satellite images from the planet.
8:34AM BST 01 May 2009
At first glance it looks like a rocky desert - but this image of the Mars landscape has got space-gazers talking.
An oddly shaped space boulder appears to show eye sockets and a nose leading to speculation it might be a Martian skull.
Internet forums are full of chatter about the picture, taken by a panoramic NASA camera known as Spirit.
One alien-spotter speculated: "The skull is 15 cm with binocular eyes 5 cm apart. The cranial capacity is approximately 1400 cc.
"There appears to be a narrow pointed small mouth, so this creature most likely is a carnivore."
Another joked: "The coronal ridge shows ample structure to support the musculature of antennae, although none are visible in this view.
"The nose area is broad and blunted as you would expect to see in a cold and windy landscape. Is he decapitated or is he buried up to his neck?"
Previous images of a skull spotted on Mars in 2006 were believed to have been the result of tampering.

Florida fans are wondering when that hype will translate into on-field success, as the Gators averaged a mere 146.3 passing yards per game in 2012 (118th overall). Driskel struggled against SEC defenses, throwing for under 100 yards four different times and laying an egg against Louisville in the Sugar Bowl.
While he still has another two years of eligibility at the collegiate level to develop and improve himself as a potential professional athlete, Driskel has a solid backup plan if football doesn't pan out.
The Boston Red Sox selected Driskel in the 29th round of the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft in June, and on Thursday he signed a minor league contract. But the Oviedo native made it clear that his heart is still with the swamp.
"After my college football career is over I want to pursue a professional career in the NFL," Driskel said in a statement, per the Associated Press. "If I ever decide I want to play baseball, I want to play with the Boston Red Sox who drafted me in the recent draft."
Driskel hasn't played baseball since high school, but the Red Sox saw something to make them believe he's talented enough to some day play in the Major Leagues if he ever changes his mind. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Driskel hit .330 and played centerfield during his junior season of high school before putting all focus on football.
The NFL is still a reasonable career choice for him, but maybe Driskel should start swinging a bat in his free time.
As of right now, Driskel is an athlete playing quarterback. He's been asked to use his arm more than his biggest strength—his legs. Last season he was seen locking on to receivers and holding on to the ball way too long, resulting in horrid decisions and 36 sacks.
Driskel struggled to make quick reads and never seemed to get rid of the ball in time to hit an open receiver. He forced a lot of passes and tried to do too much—but usually by this time, it's too late and he would take a nasty hit.
Here are some scary statistics:
When Florida was winning, Driskel completed 89-of-136 (65.4 percent) of his passes for 875 yards (6.4 yards per attempt), 11 touchdowns and just one interception. The Gators were a run-heavy team and relied on their backfield and tremendous defense to win games, not asking Driskel to do much of anything when up on an opponent.
However, when they were losing, he completed 67-of-109 (61.5 percent) attempts for 771 yards (7.1 ypa), one touchdown, four interceptions and was sacked 20 time; he was sacked for almost every third completion.
Keep Boston on speed dial, Jeff.

Tracking the Libor rate
AbstractWith an eye to providing a methodology for tracking the dynamic integrity of prices for important market indicators, in this article we use Benford second digit (SD) reference distribution to track the daily London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) over the period 2005 to 2008. This reference, known as Benford's law, is present in many naturally occurring numerical data sets as well as in several financial data sets. We find that in two recent periods, Libor rates depart significantly from the expected Benford reference distribution. This raises potential concerns relative to the unbiased nature of the signals coming from the 16 banks from which the Libor is computed and the usefulness of the Libor as a major economic indicator.

A few years ago the watchdog group Chains Hurt convinced the city of Staunton to toughen an ordinance protecting dogs from abuse and neglect. Those volunteers have now changed their name and mission, and have rescued hundreds of canines.
So far this year, Augusta Dog Adoptions has taken in 350 stray and abandoned canines, and foster them until they find permanent homes. The nonprofit does it all without paid staff or a shelter of its own.
Sally Williams routinely trolls the Shenandoah Valley Animal Service Center, the regional pound in Augusta County. Thursday, the state-mandated waiting period is up for an unnamed, apparently unwanted Border Collie. She'll go home with the president of Augusta Dog Adoptions, whose first step is evaluation and treatment.
"Decide what personality they are, what medical attention she will need, I will get her spayed," Willliams said. "And then from there, I will either keep her and work with her myself, or I will find a foster home for her."
Alisha Hammer with Augusta Dog Adoptions said, "We probably have about 20 active foster homes at all times. And as soon as a dog is adopted and they're interested in taking another, then we try to find a good match for them."
Volunteers show off their adoptable dogs every two weeks at the PetSmart store in Waynesboro. Depending on their age and breed, dogs may be with their foster families for weeks or months as they wait for a permanent home.
"The question a lot of people ask is how do you give them up? The people that do give up dogs, that makes them available to save so many more lives," Hammer said.
Augusta Dog Adoptions has no shelter of its own, but this year its foster network has taken 226 canines from the pound, more than any other rescue agency. And like the underfed, undertrained Border Collie, they're not all "easy to adopt."
"A lot of rescues don't pick up dogs that are heartworm-positive, or we had a dog that needed its leg amputated," said Williams. "It's just that no one else will rescue them."
Click here and here for more information on Augusta Dog Adoptions and to see some of the rescue canines waiting for a home.

Divorce records from a dissolution of marriage that occurred within the state from January, 1923 to the present are maintained by the Arkansas Department of Health, Vital Records. This state office also issues certified copies of divorce coupons, but not certificates or decrees.
Arkansas divorce records in the form of coupons contain basic information such as both names of the divorced persons, plus the date and the county where the divorce was granted. Since they are certified, Arkansas divorce coupons usually may be used as legal identification such as to apply for benefits, or for lawful proof of dissolution of marriage when remarrying. The divorce coupon is the lower, removable section of the certificate. A divorce decree is the court ruling that outlines the rights and responsibilities, or terms, between the divorcing parties.
The simplest, quickest and most convenient way to access the Arkansas divorce records you need, is to request this information online from professional vital record providers like us. The secure search box right on this page can guide you quickly and reliably to the information you seek.
The Arkansas Department of Health, Vital Records, currently has the fee for a certified copy of a divorce coupon priced at $10. By state law, the fee must be applied to the search whether or not the coupon is found. If the divorce coupon is located, a certified copy of this record is included. Otherwise, the search fee is non-refundable.
As authorized, professional providers of Arkansas divorce records, including certified coupons, we offer you the fastest, most convenient way to access the exact, official record you're seeking. All you have to do is start filling in the secure search boxes you see on this page.

Arkansas statute 20-18-305 specifies that divorce records in this state are not public. Both parties named on Arkansas divorce records may request certified copies. Members of these individuals' immediate families as well as authorized persons or agencies are also able to request a copy of an Arkansas divorce coupon. Research groups and those deemed to have a legal right to obtain divorce record information are also given access to Arkansas divorce record data by the County Clerk's offices of the courts.
Using our secure, fast form on this page allows us to walk you quickly through the legal process of obtaining your Arkansas divorce information. Instant access is possible in many cases. Make sure you include both names on the divorce records and ensure that they are spelled correctly.

Fast and massive, the Seagate Backup Plus Desktop is an excellent backup drive for any USB 3.0-enabled computer or server.
If you want to keep your data safe from handling mishaps while getting the top Thunderbolt performance on the market, look no further than the LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt All-Terrain portable drive.
If style is as important as performance to you, the Drive SSD is the portable drive you've been saving for.
Despite a few shortcomings, the Windows-only HP Portable Hard Drive makes a very good and simple backup option for home users.
The Elgato Thunderbolt Drive+ is by far the fastest portable drive to date and, for power users, totally worth the investment.
The WD My Passport Pro is an all-around excellent storage solution for any Thunderbolt-enabled Macs, particularly the MacBook Pro or Air.
The Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive is an attractive, lightweight drive with a decent price point for a drive of this capacity. Its size makes it great for travel, but the write speeds aren't up to par with other drives we've seen. We can't recommend it due to its lack of performance.
Excessive heat and degraded performance make the Silicon Power Thunder T11 appropriate only for casual Mac users.
Fast, user-friendly, and affordable, the WD Black 2 Dual Drive is an easy recommendation as a replacement drive for any standard laptop or desktop computer.
All things considered, the OCZ ARC 100 series is an excellent upgrade to a sluggish computer, thanks to good performance and affordable pricing.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Let me start by saying I'm not sick with a cold or just feeling generally under the weather. I woke up barely being able to speak. I then spent the entire day trying different warm ups/techniques people do to try and fight these kind of ailments. I kept trying and felt like I was making some…

Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.Squashed into a room in Hampstead in London are roughly 100 strangers. Many live a long way away -- Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires and Los Angeles. The one thing they have in common: a love of undiscovered music."The kind of person who shows up at a gig and doesn't know who's playing is a really passionate and switched-on fan," says Rafe Offer, the London-based cofounder of secret-gigs startup Sofar Sounds. The Hampstead event, held in January (the band: Khushi), was the 587th living-room gig put on by Sofar since launching in 2010. Just like the acts, the audience is curated, based on their passion for little-known music, and is not told until the night before where the gig will be. The music itself is a secret until played. "We are now in living rooms in 41 cities and aim to do 100 gigs per month in the next year," says Offer. From Minneapolis to Melbourne, local Sofar (short for "songs from a room") teams pick four acts for each show; gigs are free but donations go towards creating hi-res videos for the bands. The startup, which raised £150,000 from early-stage investors including Index Ventures and former Last.fm chairman Stefan Glaenzer, will be using the money to expand digitally. The aim: to be the go-to music-discovery place via sites such as YouTube, SoundCloud and Spotify. "We're planning a mini-deal where all the content we film in Scandinavia would be exclusive to Spotify," says Offer. Sofar's other cofounder, Rocky Start, says they are also building their own digital gateway over the next year. "You'd have to be a subscriber to our app to apply to events and stream music from shows direct to your phone," says Start. "We are the opposite of Spotify in that we don't want to deliver everything, only a selection as dictated by our community. If you want to find out what music is cool in any city in the world, you'd come to us."

*In no way is this actually real news
Portland, OR: The Portland Trailblazers' acting GM Chad Buchanan announced today that injured center Greg Oden's right knee has been picked up by the D-League's Idaho Stampede. In a press conference earlier today, Buchanan had this to say, "We feel as a team that Oden's Right Knee (ORK) will get more reps in the D-League than with us, and with those additional reps, ORK will make a greater impact on the Blazers in the long run." No timeline was given as to when ORK will return to Oden's Right Leg, but the hope is ORK will be back by January, which is when Greg Oden's whole body is expected to come back.
Buchanan dismissed any rumors that had to do with the brewing controversy over Oden's Left Knee.

Am I getting this right? Tonight the Senate is going to have an all-nighter debate on Iraq to highlight Republican obstructionism of the Reid-Levin Amendment? That sounds . . . like something I won't want to watch. But good for Reid. I don't think this is particularly good political theater, as such, but something needs to be done to highlight the fact that things aren't passing the Senate not because "congress" can't take action or because "the Senate" is rejecting various proposals but, specifically, because the filibuster lets the GOP block the majority's initiatives. Why the press couldn't cover this stuff correctly in the first place, I couldn't say, but maybe this'll change things around.

Extracting text from the middle of the Cell
I have been the recipient of a lot of help over the years, and I thank everyone that has helped. I would like to give back with something.
I was given a list of chemicals and the Chemical Abstract Service Number (CAS No.) for each item. Unfortunately, the list was given as a simple number. Two examples would be
Formaldehyde 50000
Ammonia 7664417
The normal way of showing a CAS No. is with some dashes:
Formaldehyde 50-00-0
Ammonia 7664-41-7
I was looking for a way to extract this data into the typical format. It is complicated by the fact that the first set of numbers can be from two to six digits. A friend of mine came up with a really elegant way of doing this.
Note that the chemical name and the CAS No. are in two separate cells.
I put the CAS numbers into column E. Then I used the following formula, using the LEFT, RIGHT, and LEN functions:
As this is sort of a tutorial for those unfamiliar with ranges, I will detail what this does. It can be quite useful to extract information from inside the contents of a cell. It also shows how formulas can be nested.
First, the items between two quotation marks are inserted into the cell as text. Between each different part in the cell, an ampersand (&) must be used.
Then, starting at the end of the formula:
RIGHT(E2,1) means I start at the right of the cell E2, and take only the first character.
LEFT(RIGHT(E2,3),2) is really elegant. The innermost function in the nest is RIGHT(E2,3), which means the formula extracts the three characters from the right of E2. Then, the LEFT function comes into play, choosing only the first two digits found.
LEFT(E2,LEN(E2)-3) takes into account the varying lengths of the strings. LEN(E2)-3 starts by counting the number of characters in E2, and subtracts 3 from that number. That removes the final three characters described above. Then the LEFT function chooses the number of characters starting at the beginning of the string.[I have been here for years; I had to get things restarted]

If you want to keep it as a number, you could also just use a custom number format to display the number in the CAS format: 0-00-0
PS a shorter alternative formula for generating the text string is:
PPS. and an even shorter one is not to insert but use the custom format:

Very Nice JohnD1. You could make a user defined function using your formula that would make it very easy to use:
Enter the formula in cell D1 =CAS(B1) then copy down
where A1 is the chemical name and B1 is the mal-formatted CAS number
Public Function CAS(rng As Range) Application.Volatile CAS = Left(rng, Len(rng) - 3) & "-" & Left(Right(rng, 3), 2) & "-" & Right(rng, 1) End Function

Harry – you can do much better. IMHO pitching needs a lot of attention in this one. You haven't got to the right notes on quite a few occassions. I feel you will do much better if u reduce the scale by one note and try again. I am sure u will be comfortable with a lower scale and impact of the song won't be lost … Energy was good . Hope u don't mind my honest comments (some do !).Keep singing.
