A job interview is a conversation #PRadvice #JobAdvice
01 April 2009
I participated as a guest interviewer at the University of San Francisco's Speed Mock Interviews 3 weeks ago. Think of it as speed dating but the goal is a find a job not a soul mate. Candidates should prepare for a job interview; however, some candidates prepare a little too much. A job interview is a conversation. It is the opportunity not only for the interviewer but also for the candidate to find out if this is a suitable fit. Think of it as a first date. The conversation should flow both ways. Preparing for the interview should entail recalling anecdotes that highlight your fit for the job opening. It is not an open invitation to memorize and prepare a canned response. A conversation with your soul mate will come naturally and unrehearsed. Good chemistry with potential colleagues and managers may make the difference and help you land the job.
Below are a few interview questions that I have personally encountered time and time again over the years. I also find that they are flexible in that you can repurpose your anecdotes to answer other interview questions.
Tell me about yourself?
Think of this response as your 30-45 second elevator pitch. If the CEO of your dream company/dream job asked you this question in the elevator, what would you say? This is your opportunity to describe your personal brand by providing a sentence or two that highlights your greatest strength including concrete example of your greatest success.
Editing your elevator pitch to 1-2 minutes can help you answer other questions such as "What unique experience or qualifications separate you from other candidates?" or similar questions.
Describe a typical work day or typical work week.
The interviewer is trying to assess how much of your work experience relates to the job opportunity. Review the job description and map it to your previous experience. They are not asking for a minute by minute account of how you spend your work day or work week. Describe the type tasks that you perform such, "As a public relations intern I compiled press kits, created media lists, organized events, conducted research, drafted media pitches etc." It is much better than saying, "I get in, make my coffee, check my email, etc."
If you are on the cusp between a staff position and a mangerial position, then this is the time to mention the more strategic components of your job. This will give the interviewer a sense of scope of your responsibility.
You can expand on some of the items that you described to answer questions such as, "In what ways do you raise the bar for yourself and others around you?" or "Tell me about a time when you had to go above and beyond to get a job done."
Tell me about a difficult/stressful situation and what you did to overcome it?
Keep your response professional and provide examples in the workplace. If you are new to the workforce, then cite examples from school. There is no need to go into detail about the fight that you had with your frenemy or a flaky babysitter. The interviewer is looking at your problem solving abilities in resolving conflict or stressful situations. Try to give concrete examples of your successes. How much money did you save the company? How much revenue did you generate? How many more people attended the event? How much time did you save? How many customers were you able to retain? Do your research to try to come up with facts and figures. It is much better to say "event participation increased by 300% as a result of my efforts" versus "there were a lot of people at the event".
Describe your greatest weakness.
The interviewer is looking at your ability to recognize your weakness and steps that you have taken to improve yourself. Your ability to turn a negative into a positive also gives some insight into your creative thinking. Everyone has a weakness. A candidate who can not provide a response to this question will raise red flags.
Describe your greatest strength/accomplishment.
Review the job description and describe an attribute that ties back to the job opportunity. Try to provide an anecdote that emphasizes your strength. This will demonstrate that you have the knowledge, skills and abilities to perform the job. I would recommend that you come up with 1-2 more examples of your strengths/accomplishments. The interviewer could ask you to give additional examples. You could also recyle the response to answer other interview questions. Items worth noting are your ability to work in a team, solve problems, handle conflict, motivate team members etc.
If you think of a couple other examples of your greatest successes, then you can provide responses to questions such as "Why should we hire you?" ,"Explain how you would be an asset to this organization" or "Why do you think you would do well at this job?"
Do you have any questions?
The interviewer asked you questions, now it is your time to ask questions. It does not matter if you already asked the question to the previous interviewer(s). Ask the question again because each interviewer will provide a different perspective. Ask how you will interact with them when you get the job. Find out what they like about the company. Put some thought about what you want to find out about the job opening. Candidates who do not ask questions send a message that they just do not care. Ask meaningful questions that shows that you really thought about the opportunity and how you can add value. It will also show that you truly understand the responsibilities for the position and can hit the ground running. Using the speed dating analogy, would you go to a first date and not ask questions to find out more about your date?

Practice Yoga for Better Orgasms
This contest has expired. Please visit our giveaways page for more prizes and contests!
We've always known yoga is an effective exercise and helpful for relaxation -- but it turns out it's also a great way to spice up your sex life.
The Journal of Sexual Medicine reports sexually dissatisfied women who took up yoga claim the exercises give them higher levels of arousal and better orgasms. Yoga can help normally distracted women to focus solely on the present moment and encourages body awareness.
Consider doing yoga with your partner, because the exercises have also been reported to treat premature ejaculation in men.
Eastern practices have been touted as sexually beneficial for years -- as the article states, the techniques have "their origin in the Kama Sutra of the fourth to sixth centuries."
Mindfulness -- an awareness of the present moment, which is a key component in yoga -- is particularly helpful when focusing on lovemaking. Women who mastered the concept were found to be more focused in the bedroom as well.
Get out those yoga mats ladies!
We're giving away a fabulous yoga mat from Manduka (valued around $60) to help you get into shape this year -- and for those great orgasms you deserve. Enter for your chance to win the mat. Learn more on the Manduka website.

How do I set up a transition state search?
How you set up a transition state search depends on what information you have about the transition state.
- If you have a guess for the transition state structure but no reactant or product structures, you should use this structure with a Standard (quasi-Newton) search.
- If you have a guess for the transition state structure and you also have reactant and product structures, you should use these structures with a QST search. The three structures must have the same atom labeling scheme; if they don't, you should fix it (see Article 892).
- If you have a product and a reactant structure (with the same labeling), you can use the LST method. If you have a good idea of what the transition state is, you can consider duplicating and modifying one of the structures to create a transition state guess structure, and use the QST method.
- If you only have the product or reactant as a single molecule, you can do a standard search, guided by a vibrational mode for example.
In general it is best to have a good guess at the transition state, and to use an analytic initial Hessian. See Chapter 4 of the Jaguar User Manual for more information.

The deadline for submissions has been moved to October 8th, 2010 (5 p.m). The Competition, sponsored by the Municipality of Rome and Lottomatica Spa, seeks to promote an image of the African continent that overcomes and combats common stereotypes by awarding TV documentaries (5,000 euros in prizes) and video clips by students (5,000 euros in prizes) from all over the world that promote a positive image of Africa.
The deadline for submissions, originally scheduled for September 15th, 2010, has been postponed to allow schools to participate in the competition.
"When speaking about Africa", states Giovanni Mottini, president of Harambee, "one must fill a void of communication and knowledge by telling stories about daily life or extraordinary heroism. Understanding the everyday routine of African men, women and children allows us to learn and better comprehend what we have in common. This "ordinary" knowledge provides the necessary foundation on which to promote genuine cooperation for development. Cooperation not intended as only offering help, but rather helping others to help one another".
Award ceremony will be held on November 12th, 2010 in the Hall of Protomoteca at the Campidoglio in Rome.

Truck Stop Electrification
The Climate Trust has contracted to purchase offsets from a project that reduces truck diesel engine idling through truck stop electrification. Each night, thousands of truckers idle their diesel engines during government-mandated rest periods to power heating, air conditioning, and appliances for their sleeper cabs. Unfortunately, engines running at idling speed also cause undue wear on machinery, emit harmful local and global air pollutants, and increase noise levels for drivers and neighboring communities.
Shorepower's shore-power truck electrified parking (STEP) system is an alternative to idling that provides drivers with grid-based electricity, cable television, and Internet connections to enable drivers of long-haul heavy-duty trucks to shut down their engines and save fuel during mandated rest periods. Using the Shorepower technology is a significantly cheaper option than paying the soaring costs of diesel fuel to power an idling engine. The Climate Trust will pay Shorepower Technologies to electrify 275 parking spaces at seven truck stops in Oregon and Washington.
How the project reduces emissions
When a trucker pulls into a truck stop for an 8- to 10-hour federally mandated rest stop, they will now have the option to plug into the Shorepower technology. By choosing the Shorepower technology the trucker has opted to use a more efficient energy source to power the heating/air conditioning and appliances in a sleeper cab. The electrical outlet is powered by the grid at a significantly more efficient rate than a single diesel engine running at idle speed. The carbon dioxide offset is calculated by the difference in running an idle engine minus the emissions from the grid used to power the sleeper cab services.
Why carbon finance was needed
With The Climate Trust's funding, Shorepower Technologies was able to overcome financial barriers that exist implementing a new technology. Also, the use of carbon offset funding helps keep the cost to truckers down, helping to overcome industry barriers to a new technology.
Project type: Transportation efficiency
Project term: 15 years

Excellent House
The house was in excellent condition, everything was as described, and the owners were pleasant and helpful over the phone. Totally recommend staying here and tubing or just relaxing!
quiet, private & gorgeous
this place is the perfect escape from the city, nestled in the mountains just outside phoenicia and only 5 minutes into town. amazingly quiet, the sound of the stream soothes you to sleep at night and wakes you gently in the morning. the mountain air moves perfectly throughout the house, so even mid-day summer naps are comfortable and refreshing. anne & david are wonderful hosts and we look forward to returning to the gorgeous house they've created.
Beautiful home in a terrific area
We spent a week in this lovely home. Six adults and one toddler and lots of room. Loved the outdoor fire pit and the deck bathed in sun in the morning. Having a childs room full of toys was an absolute bonus! Communication and access couldn't have been easier. Would be happy to recommend to anyone.

Telegram's Cryptanalysis Contest
Telegram is an encrypted instant messaging app for iOS and Android devices. Obviously, I wouldn't mention it on this blog if its crypto was perfect. In fact, it's far from perfect. It's almost horrifying.
I'm not sure if it was in response to some good criticism, but Telegram recently announced a crypto contest. Basically, if you can recover an email address that was encrypted with their app, you win $200,000 USD worth of Bitcoin.
This seems like a good thing. The massive award should get people looking for bugs in their code.
Unfortunately, the contest is useless. Neither users nor Telegram developers will learn anything from it. But Telegram will still be able to point to it and say, "Look! No one has won the contest, so our software is secure!" Naive users will believe it, and they will feel safe using dangerously broken encryption.
Why is the contest no good? To understand why, we need to learn how security is defined and analyzed in cryptography. This is a good opportunity to explain it, so that's what I'll do in the next section. If you already know what IND-CPA and IND-CCA mean, you can probably skip over this section.
What does "secure" mean?
In cryptography, we're always reasoning about "security", so we need to give the word "secure" a rigorous definition. This is done by defining security with respect to the capabilities of an adversary - a person (or computer) trying to break the system.
We have to define how much computing power the adversary has, what data they have access to, what data they can modify, how they can communicate with the honest users of the system, and so on.
Over the years, cryptographers have given names to various types of adversaries. We'll go over the important ones in the next three sections.
Known Plaintext Attack (KPA)
Let's start out by defining the adversary as having access to the system's ciphertext (encrypted data), and let's give them the full plaintext for a few ciphertexts. They have access to the ciphertexts and the plaintexts for some of them (these plaintext-ciphertext pairs are called known plaintexts), but they can not interact with the system in any way. We'll call this model the Known Plaintext Attack (KPA).
This seems like a reasonable model at first. In the case of a communication encryption system, the adversary in this model is like someone who can sniff the network traffic but can't change it or insert their own traffic.
As you could have probably guessed, this model is too weak. A system secure only in the KPA model is missing some very important properties that we'd like a "secure" system to have.
Imagine a system that always encrypts the same message to the same ciphertext. If two different messages are encrypted, their ciphertexts are different, but if the same message is encrypted twice, the ciphertexts are the same. An example would be a system that uses the same key to encrypt messages with AES in CBC mode with a zero Initialization Vector (IV).
The adversary is given a ciphertext and told that it's either the encryption of "YEA" or "NAY". Assuming the adversary is not given the encryption of "YEA" or "NAY" as one of the known-plaintext pairs, they can not figure out whether the ciphertext they have is the encryption of "YEA" or "NAY". That's good, a KPA adversary can't break this system.
But what if you could make the system encrypt messages of your choice? Since all messages encrypt to the same thing, you could send "YEA", get its ciphertext, and compare it to the one you're trying to decrypt. If it's the same, you know it is an encryption of "YEA", otherwise it is an encryption of "NAY."
This isn't just a theoretical ability. More often than not, you can make the system encrypt a message of your choice. One real example is a TLS connection between a web browser and a google.com. If another website, say bing.com, includes an image on one of its pages from google.com, the browser will encrypt the image URL and send it to google.com.
The KPA model doesn't agree with our intuitive notion of "security." We need to make our adversary more powerful in order to make our definition of "security" stronger.
That's the key point here: We give the adversary in our model more power, and this gives us a stronger definition of security. If you're building a tank, you don't test its armor with small arms fire, you shoot it with an RPG.
Chosen Plaintext Attack (CPA)
In the last section, we saw that if the adversary could encrypt messages of their choice, they could break a system that's only KPA-secure. So what if we let the adversary make the system encrypt arbitrary messages as well?
This is the Chosen Plaintext Attack (CPA) model. The adversary can make the system encrypt messages of his or her choice. Even with that power, they should not be able to learn anything about another ciphertext.
This is a much more reasonable security model, but it's still not good enough. A real adversary can modify ciphertexts.
Suppose there's a bank system that encrypts money transfers with AES in CTR mode with a unique nonce for each message. This is secure in the CPA model, which is good, because a user can make their own transfers to get chosen plaintext pairs.
Suppose the transaction orders look like this:
"Transfer $100 from Alice to Bob"
Encrypted, one might look like:
The encryption (CTR mode) is malleable, so a real adversary can change the last part (highlighted with stars):
Because of the change, it will be decrypted to:
"Transfer $100 from Alice to Eve"
So, by changing one of the ciphertexts, the adversary can redirect the money that Alice was sending to Bob to Eve. Obviously, we need to strengthen our security model even more. We have to be sure that even when an adversary can modify ciphertexts, the system is still secure.
Chosen Ciphertext Attack (CCA)
This brings us to the last security model we will discuss, called the Chosen Ciphertext Attack (CCA) model. In this model, the adversary is also allowed to choose ciphertexts and gets to see their decryptions. The adversary can essentially do anything they want besides telling the system to decrypt the actual ciphertext they are trying to decrypt. The adversary can modify messages in transit, drop messages, replay messages, etc.
The CCA model is the standard we hold all cryptography systems to today. If someone proposes a system that is not secure in the CCA model, it will be rejected (except in some very specific circumstances, like encrypted databases).
Telegram's Contest
By going through the attack models, I wanted to get across an idea that's very important when reasoning about crypto security. I'll repeat it again: If you want to show that a system is secure, give the adversary as much power as possible, and if they still can't break it, the security is good. Knowing that the system is secure in a weak model, like KPA, does not mean it's secure in a stronger (and more realistic) model like CCA. If a tank is bullet-proof, it might not be RPG-proof.
Okay, enough crypto theory. Back to the real problem: Telegram's contest. The contest works like this:
Every day, Paul sends a message to Nick containing an email address. You win the contest by sending an email to that address. You get a transcript of the network traffic coming in and out of Paul's account. According to the faq, you can send arbitrary packets to the server, but you can't intercept/modify the communication.
The problem should be clear now: Telegram's contest does not give the adversary enough power. The adversary doesn't doesn't get known plaintexts, can't choose plaintexts, can't choose ciphertexts, can't modify network traffic, or anything like we covered in the previous sections. The contest barely fits into the known plaintext attack (KPA) model.
If nobody wins the contest, it does not mean Telegram is secure. It means Telegram might be secure within the constraints of the contest. However, there are extremely weak systems that can survive a Telegram-style contest, so if nobody wins the contest, it won't give us any more confidence in Telegram's security.
So how good is Telegram's crypto?
Telegram's design seems to disregard all of the important crypto research from the past two decades. Their protocol is described here, and here's a diagram of their encryption:
Some problems are immediately apparent:
- They use the broken SHA1 hash function.
- They include a hash of the plaintext message in the ciphertext. Essentially, they are trying to do "Mac and Encrypt" which is not secure. They should be doing "Encrypt then Mac" with HMAC-SHA512.
- They rely on an obscure cipher mode called "Infinite Garble Extension."
- Some really weird stuff about factoring 64-bit integers as part of the protocol.
- They do not authenticate public keys.
If their protocol is secure, it is so by accident, not because of good design. They claim the protocol was designed by "six ACM champions" and "Ph.Ds in math." Quite frankly, the protocol looks like it was made by an amateur. The tight coupling between primitives suggests the designer was not familiar with basic constructs, like authenticated encryption, that you can find in any cryptography textbook.
What should Telegram do?
Telegram's crypto is bad, and it needs to be scrapped. I know it's tough to throw away all of that work, but if they want to build a trustworthy product, it's what they need to do. Their protocol is already too complex to analyze (let alone prove secure), and adding band-aid fixes is only going to make it worse.
They should switch to an existing well-studied protocol like the one used by TextSecure. They need to bring in a real cryptographer to audit their design (and design process), and they need to make sure the programmers they've hired are qualified to write crypto code (most programmers are not).
If telegram wants, they can email me and I'll offer as much advice as I can. I think their hearts are in the right place, they just goofed on the crypto.
Telegram's Response
Telegram has responded to this post. I sincerely appreciate the time they took to reply, and I apologize for making them sign up for a Tumblr account to do it.
Here's a summary of their response and my replies.
Telegram notes in the contest FAQ that the scope of the contest will expand to active attacks if nobody wins this iteration. They should skip right to a contest that allows active attacks. The only reason not to is to avoid losing $200,000. It would not be more difficult for them to do. They would not need to set up any infrastructure for the contest except for a clear description of their threat model and criteria for an adequate attack demonstration.
Telegram justifies their use of SHA1 by noting that it has not been broken in practice (although there are theoretical attacks, so it is cryptographically broken), and that SHA1 is faster. That's not a good reason to use SHA1, especially since according to benchmarks, SHA256 less than 1.5x slower. The bottleneck is almost always in the network, not the encryption.
Telegram explains their use of Mac and Encrypt on their FAQ. They do not give a reason to use their system over the standard encrypt-then-HMAC, which is well-understood by cryptographers and has been proven secure.
According to their Tumblr reply, the 64-bit factorization is part of a DoS-protection scheme. Presumably it's just a proof of work and isn't part of their crypto. However, factoring is a poor choice for a proof of work, since it's vulnerable to lookup tables. A Bitcoin-style proof of work would have been better.
In the FAQ, Telegram attempts to argue for their system's security under KPA, CPA, and CCA. Their arguments are not convincing. They mistake the security of the primitive (AES in IGE mode) for the security of their use of the primitive. Just because AES in IGE mode is secure against known plaintext attacks does not mean the whole construction is. You have to look at the bigger picture.
Telegram's reason for creating their own protocol is as follows:
In order to achieve reliability on weak mobile connections as well as speed when dealing with large files (such as photos, large videos up to 1Gb and — coming soon — documents), MTProto uses an original approach.
In other words, they designed their own crypto for speed and reliability. I don't see how encrypt-then-HMAC is incompatible with reliability. As for speed, encrypt-then-HMAC-SHA1 would be faster, and encrypt-then-HMAC-SHA256 would not be significantly slower. @zooko points out that the BLAKE2 hash function is as fast or faster than SHA1, and much more secure.
I stand by my belief that their protocol is not well-designed and should be scrapped. A good design should not need much explanation, and Telegram's FAQ is still growing.

Folk culture
Folk culture refers to a culture traditionally practiced by a small, homogeneous, rural group living in relative isolation from other groups. Historically, handed down through oral tradition, it relates to a sense of community. Folk culture is quite often imbued with a sense of place. If elements of a folk culture are copied by, or moved to, a foreign locale, they will still carry strong connotations of their original place of creation.

Response to the ongoing debate
*Of course* Srila Prabhupada would prefer gays and lesbians to stick to one relationship rather than sleep with a different tree every night! *Of course* Srila Prabhupada would want us to encourage gays and lesbians to chant Hare Krsna, offer their food to Krsna, and visit the Lord in His temple! I don't think anyone is saying otherwise. But the union of man and woman within the institution of marriage is specifically meant for the gradual purification of conditioned souls attached to the opposite sex. There is no provision in sastra for a common-law ashram for the purification of conditioned souls attached in other ways. To try to adapt the grhastha ashram to suit a homosexual situation will not yield the desired result because it is not sanctioned by sastra. As Krsna-kirti Prabhu recently commented, you cannot pick and choose sastric injunctions, make kichari out of them, and expect to come up with the real thing. It is simply another trick of maya.
If we are born with one leg instead of two, there is nothing we can do about it. We have to face our infirmity and accept the fact that we'll never be able to run for the Olympics. Our previous karma is responsible for our present state of existence. As someone previously commented, homosexuality is a perversion of the perversion of our pure love for Krsna, and as Amara das pointed out, persons in that category did have a place in Vedic society. In the same way today, I suggest that homosexuals determined to pursue homosexual relationships rather than a life of celibacy do have their place in the society of devotees, but not in leadership positions such as teachers, pujaris, GBCs, gurus, temple presidents, etc. A person born as a homosexual may not be able to change his or her situation in this lifetime, but the choice is there to live a life of celibacy and purify oneself in that way. Then, no one would object to such a person being in a position of leadership. It is common knowlege in ISKCON that several of Srila Prabhupada's early disciples were homosexual and that Srila Prabhupada knew about it. But because they were living celibate lives (at least we thought they all were!), it was not an issue. But gay unions, although perhaps sanctioned in the kama-sutra, are not sanctioned in the upasana- khanda of the Vedas, and therefore we cannot sanction them either. Srila Prabhupada was very clear on the matter. Just the way he ridiculed and fumed about the way Christianity was condoning homosexuality is pointed proof that we are not allowed to legalize such relationships. It's hard to be a second-class citizen, but it's not the society's fault. It's a matter of personal karma. Still, karma is not eternal. After one has purified oneself through the proper methods enjoined in the bhakti-sastras, one will be accepted as a bonafide Vaisnava brahmana, regardless of one's birth and previous activities. And in the meantime, if we need the comfort of a sexual relationship to keep going, then we will have to be satisfied with a second-class status and keep chanting: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Kalau nasty eva, nasty eva, nasty eva gatir anyatha.
N.B. Whether we use the word "gay unions," "gay marriages," or "gay monogamy," the meaning is the same, really. There is no point in arguing the point, which is to gain some official recognition

MONDAY, March 19 (HealthDay News) -- A small new study gives
insight into how electroshock therapy, an effective yet poorly
understood treatment for severe depression, affects the brains of
depressed people.
Researchers used functional MRI scans to look at brain activity
in nine adults with severe depression before and after electroshock
therapy. The investigators found that electroshock, or
electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), dampens the connections between
different areas of the brain in depressed people.
"With our study we were able to confirm that there is hyperconnectivity [in depression], and in addition we could show that treatment removes it," said study co-author Christian Schwarzbauer, a professor of neuroimaging at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.
Although it may seem counterintuitive that people with severe
depression, who are often also lethargic, would have brains on
overdrive, one explanation could be that they have too much
internal brain activity and cannot deal as well with external
stimulation, Schwarzbauer said.
This study could point to ways to improve electroshock therapy's
effectiveness and safety, he added. In its 76-year history, the
treatment has met with opposition from doctors because of concerns
of its side effects, such as memory loss.
Electroshock therapy is typically only used for patients who
have not responded to antidepressants or other types of treatment
and are at risk of hurting themselves or others.
"I think the fact that now there's more of an explanation, I think that's reassuring to the clinician as well as the patient," said Jennifer Perrin, who is a research fellow at the University of Aberdeen and lead author of the study published online March 19 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
For the study, nine severely depressed participants underwent
functional MRI scans of their whole brain before and after a series
of electroshock therapy. They received the treatment twice a week
until their symptoms, including sadness and fatigue, subsided.
The participants had not responded to antidepressant drugs
before the study or received electroshock therapy in the past six
months, although four of the patients were taking antipsychotic
The researchers zeroed in on an area in the front of the brain
called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. It had fewer and less
intense connections with a number of other areas of the brain
following electroshock therapy, the scans showed.
This particular part of the brain is involved in cognition
[thought processes] and social behavior and has been implicated in
depression, so this finding is not surprising, said Tony Tang, an
adjunct professor of psychology at Northwestern University. What is
surprising, he said, is that none of the many other brain areas
that have been associated with depression were found to have
cut-off lines of communication following electroshock therapy.
"ECT is a rather invasive, drastic procedure and you see a lot of changes in patients, so we would probably speculate that there would be some sort of widespread brain connectivity changes," Tang said. This study "found it to be localized, and I found that to be rather amazing."
During electroshock treatment, clinicians place electrodes on
the scalp and, while the patient is under anesthesia, deliver
enough electric current to induce a seizure. The therapy is more
effective when electrodes are on both sides of the head, as opposed
to just one, but unfortunately this also carries greater risk of
side effects.
Having electrodes on both sides of the head may be more
effective because it triggers a more widespread seizure, but the
current findings suggest another possibility, Tang said: When
clinicians put electrodes just on one side of the scalp, they
usually put them over the right half of the brain because it is
less dominant (for right-handed people). However, according to this
study, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, in the left side of the
brain, could be the crucial area to target.
"Most localized forms of stimulation we've tried so far don't work as well [as having electrodes on both sides], but this type of study could potentially point to the right direction," Tang said.
Looking at brain connections in people with severe depression
could help clinicians predict who will benefit from electroshock
therapy as well as who will relapse after treatment, Schwarzbauer
suggested. Between about 60 percent and 80 percent of people become
depressed again, usually within six months of the treatment.
Beyond depression, functional MRI of the entire brain could
offer insights into other conditions that could be related to
changes in brain networks, including autism, schizophrenia and
dementia, Schwarzbauer said.

Brandon Jennings wants to remain a member of the Milwaukee Bucks as he enters NBA free agency, so he and his representatives have given the Bucks a contract number that would keep him in town for the long-term.
If the feeling is mutual, the folks residing over the decision-making process in Milwaukee will find a way to make the numbers work.
The report of the negotiations comes from Adrian Wojnarowski over at Yahoo! Sports, who says the Bucks will match any offer for Jennings, but prefer a long-term deal:
Brandon Jenning's representatives gave the Bucks an undisclosed contract amount Monday that he would be accept to stay with the team, a league source told Yahoo! Sports. The Bucks have said they plan to match any offer sheet Jennings signs.
Milwaukee also would prefer to come to terms before Jennings signs an offer sheet.
The Bucks need to keep Jennings around badly. He may get a better offer from another team on the open market, so inking a deal now before someone else comes calling is a good idea.
Rumblings have said Jennings will command $10-12 million a year. It's not too much to ask for a guy like Jennings who averaged 17.5 points per game and 6.5 assists last season. The two sides need each other. Expect this latest development to lead to a deal.

I will definitely make this again. This was outstanding the strawberries and the lemon were very floral tasting and sweet. The balance was wonderful. I totally recommend getting the Meyer lemons for this recipe. I did serve it over ice cream and will be using this with homemade shortcakes
Strawberries in Meyer Lemon Syrup

Very easy and simple to make. Refreshing recipe! Followed the recipe exactly. Will definitely make again.
EPFrac97 Posted: 03/29/09
Delicious! So simple, fast, and easy.
BabsClovis Posted: 06/27/10
This is an absolutely wonderful recipe. I only learned last winter that there are Meyer lemon trees in my area. When a branch broke off, I squeezed and froze all the juice in ice trays for future use and even made lemonade. The Meyer lemon syrup enhances almost any kind of fruit and can also be made with Splenda for my diabetic friends. My granddaughter insisted I serve this dish at her wedding rehearsal for 40 people. I cut strawberries all day it seemed, but it was worth it!
Lanrete7 Posted: 12/31/10
Ridiculously good. I make it every time I can get my hands on halfway decent strawberries. Works excellently in company and flying solo simple. Great for people with a sweet tooth who want to nix the ice cream.

2,500 KCAL Rockers are now the proud Guinness World Records Record holders for Largest Air Guitar Ensemble!
And now...more pictures of that festive evening, starting with a little warmup from the stage. Shock: Syeda's talking!
Oh look - Stoner Rob is baking.
Jimbo's wrist looks like the Vikings
offense defense whole team...limp.
Then, a moment to put our feet up and relax in the presence of former Raiders legend Tim Brown and former Browns washout Tim Couch. By the way, a Montreal Expos hat in the back? Seriously???
Unlike Tim Couch, this guy came to win. (He did too...he set a world record.)
They're having fun!
Aww...more young lovers. We're guessing the dude behind them - the one in the Polamalu jersey - had more fun at World Record Rock & Roll Bingo than he did last Super Bowl Sunday.
On the other hand, we're guessing this guy might have enjoyed last Super Bowl Sunday as much as he enjoyed Bingo.
Okay, we've obviously moved on to World Record time. And...go!!!
Setting the record, by the way, turned out to be ridiculously fun.
Dude - yeah, you with the green hair. You need to get into it.
Much better.
And now...a view from the rear.
And finally, a moment to celebrate with our friends from San Manuel, Mr. Crowley, the lady from Guinness, and Air Guitar Hall of Famer Björn Türoque before we got down to the serious business of blowing out money.
Y'see, while we all set a world record, ten KCAL Rockers had a little extra reason to celebrate, especially Patty who scored $10,000.

I've received a lot of help in obtaining family headstone pictures from other researchers and want to pay it forward. Thank you.
Please check the cemetery before you make an entry to avoid duplications. I welcome any corrections to information I have entered. Please use the suggest a correction tab on the individual memorial. It's easier for me that way.
I have absolutely no interest in numbers, so I usually transfer out-of-guidelines unless it's someone in my family or the requester does not transfer their own entries in that manner. Just a reminder: Regarding transfers, please remember...just because you are related to someone doesn't mean someone else isn't. Please see F-A-G guidelines regarding transfers. *"The goal is not to "own" every memorial of those to whom you are related. The ultimate goal should be to have meaningful, accurate memorials that honor those who have passed away, regardless of who created the memorial or who maintains it."
I ask you to remember that the members of this site are volunteers, both for entries and photo requests. They spend time and money to do this out of a love of the past, to memorialize those who have gone before, and in remembrance of beloved family members. It requires cooperation and teamwork. If you don't like to do these things, I respectfully ask that you choose another hobby.
***Please remember this precious child and his family:
Camden Fairchild
***Please remember this young man, a Fallen Graver, who loved what he did and helped many people:
Coady Hatlen
. He is missed.***
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4
"Do not stand on my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave & cry;
I am not there, I did not die."
~Mary Frye
Scatter me not to the restless winds
Nor toss my ashes to the sea.
Remember now those years gone by
When loving gifts I gave to thee.
Remember now the happy times
The family ties are shared.
Don't leave my resting place unmarked
As though you never cared.
Deny me not one final gift
For all who came to see.
A simple lasting proof that says
I loved and you loved me.

John Leon Quackenbush was my father. His death is listed as 1995, but was actually 1996. Also, I believe his sister, Virginia, died before 1995. I note that you list yourself as a third cousin, once removed? Perhaps you can tell me the connection?
Thanks. Judith Quackenbush Roberson

Sonner family?
Just curious, are you related to the Sonner family? I keep finding your name in various places of tfamily members that are connected with the Sonner family, but not with that name. In the case I have right now, you connected with additional info for the Correll Family and they connect with my family. With work that I have seen of yours, you do great work!
Best regards

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Local lawmakers are calling for an independent investigation into the State Treasury Department. It comes after former Treasurer Andy Dillon allegedly went on a paid vacation on a Caribbean cruise funded by taxpayers.
"We were told that he was going to be paid until the end of this month and regardless of whether he paid for this trip on his own, we were paying him as taxpayers and he went on a Caribbean cruise. I want to hear from the governor. I want to hear why he thought this was a good use of taxpayer dollars. I think there's something wrong here and I want to know why they're not allowing us to have this investigation," said Rep. Sam Singh.
The state treasurer's office told 6 news Dillon was on vacation, but it was not paid. They say as of now, his work as an advisor to the treasurer has officially ended and he's no longer on the payroll at all.
The controversy surrounding Dillon began back in October when he unexpectedly announced that he was resigning early. A new treasurer, Kevin Clinton, was appointed to the position, but Dillon stuck around as an advisor to the new treasurer. Not only was he still on the payroll, officials confirmed Dillon was making the same $174,000 salary he'd been making when he was treasurer.

Kids Watch: "9"
Rhianwen Benner: An animated film starring adorable little doll people may scare and depress your kids. Here's why.
After a futuristic war between man and machine, the only life left on earth is a band of tiny rag dolls come to life. We watch as "Number 9" (voiced by Elijah Wood) and "Number 1" (Christopher Plummer) debate two wildly differing philosophies on survival as they battle the machines.
Despite the destruction and decay, the animated visuals can be quite stunning. The characters were obviously created with a lot of care and artistry, and it can be fun to watch the tiny dolls repurpose human-sized objects for their own missions. (A bucket and some rope make for a surprisingly adorable elevator, even in a bleak war zone setting.) Teamwork is emphasized consistently throughout the film. Even though "Number 9" and his friends -- including "Number 7" (Jennifer Connelly), a very skilled and heroic female warrior -- are minuscule compared to their robot opponents, they succeed through bravery and working together. The film is ambitious in its themes, and wants to give the viewer a lot to think about. "9" raises issues about the ethics of survival, questioning authority and doing the right thing even if it's unpopular. It even manages to cram in some theological debate over the issue of serving a spiritual creator versus serving science. These are all pretty heady themes, of course, so while your older and more intellectually minded kids will enjoy it, your young ones might just be scared.
This movie is dark. Really dark. It paints the future with a very dystopian brush, attributing the destruction of the earth and all living things to man's dependence on technology. (On the other hand, maybe your kid will put down the XBox controller for a while after seeing "9.") The disturbing images start early and continue throughout, including a lingering shot of a dead mother and child still strapped into a car seat. We are also shown footage of the war that destroyed the world, with soldiers being shot down by towering machines. The adorably designed doll characters -- sure to be beloved by your children -- are ruthlessly hunted by the machines and several have their souls extracted from their bodies as they writhe in pain. There is nary a drop of blood in sight through the whole film, but after all the intense violence, blood might be beside the point. Resolution is achieved, but it's not clear to what extent. Our tiny heroes do eventually win out over the machines, but the human race is still gone and the planet still obliterated. After all that hard work, what reward do they have to look forward to?
"9" is an impressive film for sure, but it's also a bleak one. If you're looking for a fun animated romp to take your toddlers to, keep looking. This one's rated PG-13 for a reason.

Does commercial announcements suggested it was a film for childrens ? This article made me think about Taram and the magic cauldron; this movie got the same kind of review because it also have a very dark context.

A new iconic mark has been developed in order to acknowledge a new era in the University's history and to capture our traditions and aspirations. The icon that has been selected is the tower and dome of the Rosalie K. Stahl Center at 73 Tremont Street.
Correct usage of the mark is important to ensure the integrity of the University's image through its communication efforts and therefore must reflect the highest level of quality. The following guidelines have been developed to help you ensure this quality and to facilitate effective and consistent usage of the mark.
Download the University mark and logotype for use in print or electronic communications.General Usage Guidelines
To facilitate correct usage of the mark, please review these illustrations of incorrect usage.
Using the Mark and the Logotype Together
The mark and the logotype may be used independently or together. If used together, there are two possible options: the mark may be placed centered above the logotype or it may be placed to the left of the logotype. The may be no size adjustments made to the mark or to the Suffolk logotype in relation to each other, and no other configurations are acceptable.
The Office of University Communications is available to assist with University mark usage as needed. If you have questions about using the mark in your project, contact Donald Suthard(email@example.com) or Kathleen Peets (firstname.lastname@example.com).

I don't know why, but I have a strange feeling that Gerard may know something, about my mom and what she did. Well obviously I wasn't gonna ask him straight out if he did. I was going to try and make friends with him first.
Yeah, we started off on the wrong foot, but...whatever, everybody deserves a second chance, don't they?
So yeah, here I am at Belleville High School, and it's my first day. Yay. Note the sarcasm.
"Hey Kris? Krissy? I'll take you to the office, and show you around school okay?" Mikey asked.
"Sure, thanks Mikes."
"No problem!" I laughed.
We got to the office to get my time table, and first lesson was...maths!
"I hate maths, I'm not good at it." I moaned.
"Hey, don't worry, I'm no good either, and you're in my class so we can be no good together." This made me smile. Thank you god that I met Mikey Way.
Maths wasn't actually as bad as I thought it was going to be, well most of the time I was passing notes to Mikey, even though we sat next to each other at the back of class, we weren't allowed to talk.
My next class was Art, but not with Mikey, apparently, only certain people get to do Art, only those with a special talent. Which means I will have this class with not only a few people from my year, but from all years.
I will admit, I was quite happy that I get to do Art, I mean I knew I was good, but I didn't think that I was that good, you know?
When Mikey helped me find room 26, he left me to go to History.
"I'll come back here after okay?"
"Yeah sure, thanks Mikes."
I went into my Art class, and there were only two or three people in there. I guess I was early.
The teacher was already there, and I explained everything to her.
"Okay, nice to meet you Krissy. Take a seat anywhere you like."
I took a seat right at the back. I always did. I hated people seeing my work before it's done, I get paranoid about what people think before it's done, and that really pisses me off.
What? I'm 12, I know how to curse!
Soon the room started filling with more people, most of which were in higher years.
"Right class, we have a new student here with us today. I would like you all to welcome Krissy Walters, she has come all the way from Toronto, Canada." Everyone turned their heads to me.
I felt really shy now, I hated people staring at me, it was creepy.
"Krissy why don't you tell us something about yourself."
"Like what?"
"Who is your favourite band?" One boy asked.
"Er...Mindless Self Indulgence I guess." When I said this, another boy who wasn't looking before looked up to me, and I knew that this boy was my friend's arrogant older brother, Gerard.
After a few more questions, the class finally got started on their work.
We had to draw something that we hate. Something that makes us really angry just by thinking of it.
And I knew exactly what I was going to draw.
Gerard P.O.V
After Science was Art class. My favourite class ever.
When I got into class, I sat in my usual seat in the corner at the back. I hated people seeing my work before it's finished, I guess I feel that if someone sees it before, then it's gonna go shit. You know?
I was setting up all my stuff when Mrs Hardon starting talking.
"Right class, we have a new student here with us today. I would like you all to welcome Krissy Walters, she has come all the way from Toronto, Canada." Everyone turned their heads to me.
No way! This can't be happening. How am I supposed to hate her if I see her all the fucking time!
"Krissy why don't you tell us something about yourself."
"Like what?"
"Who is your favourite band?" A jock, Andrew asked.
"Er...Mindless Self Indulgence I guess." My head shot up when she said that.
I love you. I thought.
Shut up!
Why she has great taste in stuff! All I wanna do is fucking kiss her!
I mentally slapped myself for thinking those things.
After a few questions we were told to start our work.We had to draw something we hate.
I sort of had an idea but not really. I sat wondering what to draw, when I thought I could draw...no! That's mean, and plus, I don't even hate her...yet.
After half an hour, I went to the other side of the room for some other art stuff and I noticed Krissy's drawing.
Fuck me was she a good artist!
She really had a lot of detail in it, and it was just amazing.
Then, I remembered that we had to draw something we hate.
And then, when I looked back at the picture, I realised...
...that picture was me.
Krissy P.O.V
The day was going by quickly, and before I knew it, it was lunch.
Mikey told me to meet him at a table in the cafeteria, which is what I did, and luckily he was already there waiting for me.
"Hey, how's your first day going so far?"
"Great. Thanks. My favourite lesson has proberbly been Art though." He nodded and we began eating.
We were talking about anything and everything. Mikey is such a great guy, I can't believe he actaully wanted to be my friend.
It was about fifteen minutes until next class, and I was sitting on my own, because Mikey needed to go to the bathroom and I said I would wait for him here.
I was getting lost in my thoughts, when I heard a door slam shut near me. I quickly turned and it there were three boys walking right towards me, one I recognised as Gerard.
"Oh my, has my little brother finally realised what a bitch you are and fucked off?" He asked me, and his friends laughed along.
It's funny, I thought it was only jocks that did that.
"Oh my, it amazes me that these two actaully wanna be your friend." I mocked.
"Fuck you little girl. You don't know me, so don't pretend you do!" He snapped.
"Well, you don't know me, so don't pretend that you do!"
He smirked.
"I think you'll find that I know more about you than you think."
What did he mean by that?
I was about to say something when he stopped me.
I noticed that he had a bottle of chocolate milk. He took the top off and poored it on my head, and it dripped down my face and on my clothes.
I could hear people from around me starting to laugh, even Gerard and his friends did.
I could feel tears threatening to fall, and I made a dash to the bathroom, only to run into Mikey on the way.
"Krissy? What happened?" I noticed he was with another guy, which I assumed was his friend.
"Your brother happened." And I ran off again, into the girls bathroom where I hid for the rest of the afternoon.
Gerard P.O.V
Sitting in my living room after school, I began thinking about today's events.
I felt like shit. I shouldn't have done that to Krissy, but I was so pissed off that she drew me in Art, that I felt like I needed to get her back in a way.
But when she ran off, I felt shit. Her face was so sad, and I knew she ran off to cry.
I was still in thinking mode and the thing that brought me out was our front door closing.
"Dude! What the fuck are you playing at!?" Mikey screamed at me.
"What did I do?"
"Don't play dumb with me Gee, you know what. Lunch time Krissy came running past me crying and said you had something to do with it!"
I nodded.
"Is that it? All you can do it nod your fucking head! She's my friend Gee, and it was her first day at a new school. What has she ever done to you!?"
I didn't say anything. He was right.
No matter how mad I was at her, I still liked her, and she didn't know, so I couldn't really blame her for drawing me as her most hated thing.
I had been a jerk to her one to many times.
But I wasn't going to change.

Curt Hennig
Real Name
Curtis Hennig
Date of Birth
March 28, 1958
Place of Birth
A video tribute for the Undertaker using his action figure. WWE features his character destroying the likes of Eddie Guerrero, Kane, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, John Cena and others.
April 14, 2014
A fan posted this rather interesting picture on Twitter, and it caught the attention of Ricardo Rodriguez. In the photo, the WWE on screen character was mistakenly swapped with a Rey Mysterio action figure. The packaging was designed for Rodriguez, though.
February 9, 2014
A couple of months ago, a Twitter feud erupted between Konnan and Curtis Axel, when the former gave some constructive criticism to the latter. Well, it looks like things have not gone away, as the former WWE Intercontinental Champion has decided to take yet another jab at Konnan with this message involving his father Curt Hennig.
March 2, 2014
During his first stint with WWE during the early 1980s, Curt Hennig was paired up with Eddie Gilbert, another second generation wrestler, in a tag team.
November 23, 2013
With the way he has responded to Konnan, Sid Vicious has called Curtis Axel an embarrassment to Curt Hennig and the family name.
October 31, 2013
In a sad bit of news, Curt Hennig has been found dead in a Florida hotel. He was just 44 years of age. While the official cause of death will not be revealed until after the autopsy and funeral, the belief is that he died from a cocaine overdose. Hennig was a big star in WWE during the early 1990s as Mr Perfect.
