If you're not watching too much television these days, chances are you're one of those tech-savvy people with a smart phone, a laptop that can tap into WiFi from anywhere, or have made the leap to the iPad. Political candidates are aware of the shift and that they're increasingly being measured by new electronic yardsticks. Take, for instance, Google Trends, which tracks and graphs the subjects being searched via Google. The New York Times' Five-Thirty-Eight politics blog points out that when it comes to possible Republican Party candidates for president in the 2012 election, Sarah Palin's search traffic is roughly 16 times that of Mitt Romney's and 38 times that of Mike Huckabee's. Her name is searched about 30 percent more often by Google users in the United States than President Barack Obama's. And with so many people following politics online, candidates are increasingly turning to cyberspace to get their political messages out.
Tyler Chafee, a political consultant, predicts that online advertising will only grow. "We're looking for that younger market, the people who aren't thinking about politics," he tells The Denver Post. "And how, in a statewide race, do you get attention if you don't have a million [dollars] for TV? It's more difficult." Moreover, the ads can be extremely well targeted—to users in specific ZIP codes and of certain ages.
And then there's the free electronic media that candidates can turn to, such as Facebook and Twitter, to reach their faithful and perhaps generate a headline or two. When it comes down to it, Republicans tend to be better tweeters, according to a new Hewlett-Packard study on the recent election (via MediaBistro). Seventy of the top 100 "most influential members of Congress on Twitter were Republican."

I have a Coleman Presidential II ELECTRIC furnace.
When we turn the thermostat up, we can hear the furnace click on, and can hear a humming sound. The blower never starts up.
The hum continues, even when we turn the thermostat back down.
The blower was working until we changed the filter. The old filter seemed to catch on something when we pulled it out to replace it.
Note: This furnace had not been on since '03. We don't know if there was heat, because we didn't let the heater run long enough to heat up.
Please be specific in answers, or direct us to mechanical diagrams, as we know nothing about this machine.

Sequential torts and bilateral harm
This paper analyzes care incentives of individuals in a bilateral-harm setting if care choices are sequential. We find that the efficient outcome is not guaranteed under any liability rule considered, irrespective of whether information is perfect or imperfect. Furthermore, it is no longer possible to generally rank liability rules according to their induced social costs. These findings are in strong contrast to the sequential-torts setting in which harm is unilateral.

Love the sunny pop of yellow this settee has. I am in a quandary as to whether or not I should add this to my living room. A bit scared as I normally use neutral fabrics on major upholstery pieces.....like white, charcoal, and grey. Should I just go for it????
Either way, it's a fun and sunny piece to look at on this dreary day of rain and clouds.

Cuesta College is taking steps to meet society's sustainability needs of today and the future.
In several months, the Cuesta Sustainability Resource Center (CSRC) will be fully operational and will also integrate science, technology, engineering and mathematics-based sustainability content through the San Luis Obispo County school systems, P-16 and the local community. The center, which will be located on Cuesta College's North County campus, will provide resources and training for teachers at all grade levels and delivery of sustainability learning modules to students both at Cuesta College and local schools.
"We are thrilled to have our vision for a sustainability center at Cuesta College become a reality," said Cuesta College biology faculty member Derrick Lavoie. "The CSRC has the potential to become a significant seed of sustainability, which we envision will grow and branch out to all areas of our community, bringing knowledge, skills, awareness, inspiration and connectedness among many disciplines."
According to Lavoie, the CSRC's ultimate goal is to educate all citizens of San Luis Obispo County in sustainability practices and concepts in order to move toward a more sustainable economy, environment and society. The Atascadero Unified School District will be the initial recipient of the center's work and plans to partner in the future with any renewable energy projects that result.
"Beginning with our most remote and rural elementary school, Carrisa Plains Elementary School, to Atascadero High School's Greenhound Academy, students in Atascadero have much to offer and have much to learn through the Cuesta Sustainability Resource Center," said Atascadero Unified School District's Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Kathy Hannemann. "I sincerely appreciate the valuable input we are able to provide to ensure this experience is one that prepares our students for 21st-Century skills using Common Core State Standards."
The project will operate through a grant provided by MidAmerican Solar, SunPower and NRG. The project will be administered by Cuesta College Workforce Development and Community Programs and is fully funded for seven years.
"Cuesta College is thrilled to be a part of this project," said Cuesta College President Dr. Gil Stork. "It is our intent to work with our K-12 partners to disseminate high-quality sustainability education to all grade levels and schools in San Luis Obispo County so the principles and best practices of sustainability become systemic throughout every aspect of our educational system."
The Conditional Use Permits of the utility-scale solar power projects on the Carrizo Plain, developed by SunPower, NRG and MidAmerican Solar, stipulate the establishment of a renewable energy and sustainability educational component for San Luis Obispo County.
"We have great expectations for the center," said MidAmerican Solar General Manager Neal Poteet. "We have confidence in the future success of the center and its benefits to the local community."
The Cuesta College Planning and Budget Committee voted to support the CSRC at its meeting in November 2012. No Cuesta College District funds will be expended, and there is no obligation for Cuesta College to maintain the project; however, future funding will likely be pursued.
"At NRG, we feel that educational resource centers are vitally important in contributing to current and future sustainability efforts," said Randy Hickok, senior vice president of NRG Solar Asset Management. "We are happy that we are in such an enviable position to give back to the county and community that welcomed and supported our project which will provide clean, sustainable energy to the region."
At the K-12 level, the center will offer hands-on student-centered learning strategies to teach motivational sustainability curriculum, primarily focused on alternative energies, that address state and national STEM-based sustainability standards. At the community level, it will offer a variety of sustainability programs, fairs and events.
"The benefits of the CSRC for our community are simply awesome," said Lavoie.

I saw this in the comments:
supporting one cause over another cause does not cancel out supporting anything, it simply leaves us all free to do what ever we can to make things better
Glad you brought this up, and I vehemently disagree. I've had this conversation many times with activists from NGOs in countries all over the world. There are approximately 10,000 NGOs and approximately 2 million people who work for them who together control approximately 1 trillion dollars worth of the global GDP. The reason why NGOs in the green movement, the social justice movement, the free software movement and others have not had the success one would have imagined given the passion and intelligence of those involved is because they lack economies of scale. To successfully push back against corporate and political oligopolies requires a force that is equal or grater than the forces aligned against these movements. I have said many times before that the reason Greenpeace is not making more progress for environmental justice is because they insist on showing up to gun fight with a knife.
I disagree that all activists should be free to pursue their own agendas, at their own speed as this approach guarantees non-traction against the entrenched forces of mediocrity bent on preserving the devilish status quo and 'business as usual.'
Economies of scale and inter-activist group strategies that leverage resources are needed to successfully push back and expand the public's domain against privatization and encroachment.
For me, strategically speaking, the copyright reform movement is the lynch pin activist cause that has the potential to unlock all the others.
Before we can 'save the whales' 'save the forests' or 'save our schools' we first need to save our ability to think and create outside of copyright controlled corporate cloisters of domination and dictatorship.

WASHINGTON — The Senate's approval Wednesday of a two-year, $109 billion transportation bill gives Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer a prize that has sometimes eluded her: a newly polished reputation for legislative deal-making.
Politically and technically complex, the 632-page bill had to overcome numerous ambushes, obstacles and slippery surfaces. Its approval was not a foregone conclusion, despite the appearance of the 74-22 final vote Wednesday.
"This was a bill that brought us together," Boxer said, "and Lord knows, it's hard to find moments when we can come together."
The Senate's action now puts pressure on the House, where Republican leaders are stuck in a ditch over their own transportation bill. Time is short, as the nation's current law authorizing federal transportation programs expires March 31.
As chairwoman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, Boxer would play a crucial role in any future negotiations with the House. For the past five weeks, she already has been steering the legislation through the Senate floor.
Boxer didn't lose any Democrats on the final vote, and she lured 22 Republicans, including some of her ideological polar opposites.
"This is probably one of the most significant pieces of legislation of the year," enthused Republican Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma. "When it gets down to getting down to something we really need to do, it gets done."
The 77-year-old Inhofe is the senior Republican on the public works panel, and one of the most conservative members of the Senate. The 71-year-old Boxer is one of the most liberal, and her Capitol Hill mark has often been a rhetorical one. She's passed bills in her 29-year congressional career but also has tilted at a good number of windmills, as in the failed 2009 bid for big climate-change legislation.
With the climate-change bill, Boxer insisted her sole responsibility was to get the bill through her Democrat-controlled committee, which she did before the bill whimpered out in 2010. She met a stricter, and more tangible, measure of success with Wednesday's passage of the transportation bill, which the Obama administration supports.
"We've had some scuffles along the way," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said, but added that "this is an opportunity to talk about how good the Senate can be."
Part of the maneuvering involved rallying interest groups from across the political spectrum, which in turn could lean on their traditional congressional allies. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, for instance, supports the Senate bill, as does the AFL-CIO federation of labor unions.
The bill had to clear four separate committees as well as a thicket of amendments, some of which might have crashed the bill. In what became an endurance contest, the Senate voted on 24 amendments and procedural matters concerning the transportation bill from the time it first came up Feb. 9.
Republicans failed, for instance, in efforts to add approval for the Keystone XL oil pipeline and religious waivers from the Obama administration's health insurance policies.
By the time the Senate was casting its final vote shortly after noon on Wednesday, Boxer was being greeted by her colleagues with a succession of hugs, handshakes, backslaps and — from Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. — a semi-awkward fist bump.
"It's finding the sweet spot between parties...at a time when everything is contentious," Boxer said.
Making the job harder, congressional leaders have given up the earmarks that greased passage of past transportation bills. The last big bill of its kind, passed in 2006, included 6,371 earmarks, including hundreds for California projects.
The current Senate bill, by contrast, omits the word "California" altogether. The Senate bill is not designed to address rail issues, leaving to another day the debate over the future of federal support for California's controversial high-speed rail program.
The Senate bill is largely funded by a federal gas tax, and for the most part keeps federal transportation spending levels steady.
The competing bill passed by a House committee on Feb. 3 cost $260 billion over five years, funded in part through new oil-and-gas drilling revenues from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. House Speaker John Boehner has since stumbled in his efforts to rally Republicans, prompting speculation that the House might simply take up the Senate version.
"Bipartisanship came through," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., "and hopefully, this will be a lesson for us all."

What the? where did the?
how'd they get so BIG?
Emrys' kittens are 8 weeks old
I am still to this day amazed at how ROUGH kittens get with one another at this age, it's equal to 4 year old human kids taking spiked baseball bats to one another and calling it "play" lol.
anyway, as far as I know they are pretty much weaned, I haven't seen them nurse for a few days, but that doesn't mean they don't nurse at night, Emry still has milk.
I wonder, does having a completely wild parent have any effect on the initial behavior of the kittens? none of them are particularly cuddly, despite being handled constantly since about 2 weeks old, they don't like being picked up and only a couple will sit or lay by me when I sit on the floor, otherwise they pretty much ignore me.
First up is Sokka, he is the biggest HAM I have ever seen, and is probably the friendliest of the bunch, he loves to have his belly rubbed.
He is also HUGE, a tiny short haired version of Big Red (one of the feral toms around here) at 8 weeks old he wieghs 2 pounds 7 ounces. I so wish I could keep him, but I have a rule of no boys, I don't like toms in the house, neutered or otherwise.
Then there is Bolin
He is..well, if the pictures are any indication, he's kinda skittish, doesn't really like to be bothered, he is one of the lightest kittens, only wieghing 1 pound and 3 ounces.
Then there is Korra(and Sokka, who insisted on being in the pictures lol)
She is the brave one, the first to do anything, which ofcourse is followed suit by her brothers and sisters. She wieghs 1 pound 5 ounces
And Azula
She's the quiet one, not really bold nor nervous, more in between she weighs 1 pound 2 ounces
And "Momo" now re-named Kevie (Big E sound)
She is JUST like her mother, grouchy most of the time, wants to be left alone, wants attention only on her terms, she will be staying here as I have fallen in love. she is the heaviest of the girls and weighs 2 pounds exactly. that is not a trick of the light, btw she does have super dark stripes on her legs, the ones on her body are super light.
and there there is Katara
I love her feet, her tan foot has pink pads, the rest of her feet have black pads
She is still very much the spastic loner, doesn't like being touched, doesn't like being held, just does her own thing. she wieghs 1 pound and 4 ounces, yet size wise she is the smallest of the 6.
I am also amazed at how they are starting to fill out, Azula, Kevie, and Katara are very thin-framed, like Emry, Bolin, Sokka, and Korra are all thicker bodied.
I love these little guys to death, but I am SO ready to see them off to their new homes, I made the mistake of letting them explore the upper part of the house yesterday since I didn't work and I had the house to myself, big mistake, within 30 minutes they had managed to pull the tablecloth (and everything else on the table) off the dinning room table, (including a bowl of sugar) and they had knocked a relatively heavy potted plant out of the window, and then proceeded to track wet dirt all over the living room

What's New
Drag the blocks to place
New help
Better performance
App Description
How to play Pronk
This is really a brain teaser. It demand more skills then Tetris and has more solutions then StonePacker. It is a real challenge to play.
Your goal is to make a line with the blocks that appear on the board. You can move them, but only vertical och horizontal. You can not rotate the blocks, then it would become to easy.
When you filled a row or line it will explode and you receive the points for the blocks in that line/row. The parts that was outside will turn grey and detach. They grey ones will not score but they are helpful filling gaps.

One of our hosted website have "503 Service Unavailable" error on this link: http://p30pedia.com/shop/?p=149#more-149 But he dont have error in http://p30pedia.com/shop/ or other links. Where is issue and how can fix this error?
Are you using cPanel? Please check LSWS error log and stderr.log, under either lsws/logs/ directory or /usr/local/apache/logs/ directory.
"503 Service Unavailable" Error! also but without cpanel Hi On some users a link for example: Code: http://www.server.com/index.php?showtopic=19731 Gives this error: 03 Service Unavailable The server is temporarily busy, try again later! Powered By LiteSpeed Web Server Lite Speed Technologies is not responsible for administration and contents of this web site! But to me the same link and the same time is ok. I use direct admin.
maybe it is random 503 errors, or related to that user. try to follow the instructions in our wiki for trouble shooting. Trouble shooting If you LiteSpeed PHP setup give 503 errors, you may have PHP configuration problem, usually it is because the version of a loadable module does not match the PHP version used. You need to recompile the loadable module to fix it. Some trouble shooting techniques: check lsws/logs/stderr.log and lsws/logs/error.log. try to start the lsphp binary with matching user id with command like sudo -u nobody ./lsphp5 -i compare the phpinfo() page to a working installation, sometimes, due to permission problem, php configuration files cannot be fully loaded. strace/truss/ktrace a lsphp process, it shows all the system calls made by the process.
If you switch back to Apache, it works right? Please PM me your server root and lsws web console login, I can take a look.
I have switched back to apache to test it, that URL will result in a blank page. The problem is not litespeed specific, but a PHP internal problem, for some reason PHP engine crash when serving that specific request no matter LSWS or Apache is used. If you can fix the problem with Apache, it should work with LSWS as well.

Your first instinct is to probably feel bad for this Ohio State cheerleader that Aaron Craft demolished on Sunday, but there's a good chance she enjoyed the collision from the Buckeyes heartthrob. In fact, girls around the country are probably jealous of the bruises she'll have for the next week.
Despite Craft's relentless hustle, the Buckeyes dropped their second consecutive game, losing 84-74 to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Craft finished the game with a total of six points, six assists and three rebounds.

Elisabeth Rodgers gives an engaging performance of Murphy's Law, the second book in C. Dulaney's Roads Less Traveled series. She has a silvery voice and a remarkable ability to inhabit different characters and imbue each one with a distinctive speech pattern and tone. Protagonist Kasey's Zombie Plan has been keeping her alive. She and a group of survivors knew exactly when to do when chaos reigned, but when a slight bit of order is restored, somehow everything goes to pieces. New threats appear. Can they make sense of their present situation and continue to survive?
Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
Kasey and the gang were held together by a set of rules, their Zombie Plan. It kept them alive through the beginning of the End. But when the chaos faded, they became careless, and Murphy's Law decided to pay a long-overdue visit.
"We had all made it through those first days of the zombie uprising, fought and bled over hundreds of miles to find each other…scratching and clawing just to keep our heads above water when our Z-Plan went to hell."
Now the group is broken and scattered with no refuge in sight. Those remaining must make their way across West Virginia in search of those who were stolen from them, fighting not only merciless terrain, but hordes of newly-thawed and ravenous deadheads as well.
A new home is found. New alliances are formed. Then an alarming development presents itself in severe and bloodthirsty fashion. A situation Kasey and the gang never planned for. When the stakes are raised even higher, when many more lives are at risk, can the group re-evaluate everything they thought they knew and survive the unknown?

"excellent 2nd book! surpassed my expectations!"
kc, jake, and mila charging into a swarm of shambling zombies being chased by the fast zombies. awesome. just awesome.
i must say this title sat in my library for over a month, mostly b/c the 1st book was kind of lackluster. i wasn't thrilled by the direction of the story. i listened to a few other titles then thought that the 3rd book in this series is coming out at the end of the month- 6/25/13. so, i thought it was about time i listened to this book in order to decide if i'd pick up the 3rd book. plus, i was craving for a good zombie story! now, there's no question! i can't wait for the 3rd book to come out.
yes! this 2nd book was that good! i liked it much, much more than the 1st book! now, i'm really hungry for brains...i mean the next part of this story!
the story picks up 4 months after the end of the 1st book. kc, jake, zack, mia, and granny are on the trail of the convicts. at 1st, i wasn't that enthused about them chasing after the convicts, but they quickly run into another group of survivors. after a tense confrontation, this other group of survivors lets kc's group spend the night at their safe house- a prison. yes, it's like the walking dead, but that's a nice comparison, right? oh come on! don't tell me you weren't glued to your t.v. every sunday night at 9 pm when the walking dead was on! i was! and i love me some nfl! ok. i digress...
kc and her group end up at a prison with another group of survivors. the cast of survivors at the prison is a good one. while there are a lot of survivors, the author does a good job managing and juggling them so you know who's who. you don't get lost in the crowd. there's another twist in the story- fast zombies. while not a new idea,
the author uses the concept well, really well! these fast zombies add a new dimension of terror and tension, and the author unleashes them at the right time. i was holding on to my seat and couldn't stop listening! for once in a long time, i wondered how the heck are they gonna get out of this?
the author does a really good job displaying the fear and power of the hoard. there's a lot more violence in this book. there's growth in the main characters, and the new characters are a good addition.
overall, i'm a happy camper after listening to an excellent zombie story since most i've listened to lately have been mediocre. i would've given this 5 stars except for the narration. yes, i still don't like how she does guys, but for once, that's my only caveat!
if you're a zombie fan, listened to the 1st, and wasn't that impressed, then i'd tell you to definitely give this a try. it'll more than make up for that book. if you liked the 1st book, you'll really like this one. if you haven't listened to the 1st book, then you could pick up
this one w/o missing too much.

"One of my favorite series"
I think this is one of the best zombie stories and the narrator has become one of my favorites. She is so soothing while talking about bloody bits of zombies.
The story isn't over the top and silly like many other zombie stories and sticks pretty much to a classic kind of zombie genre. The author just handles the regular stuff really well and doesn't have to awe us with silly spectacular stuff, which tells of the quality of the work. This book introduces a mutation. You guessed it, fast zombies. I groaned and became a bit worried, but like I said, regular zombie stuff, just done well! Just stop there Dulaney, no smokers and boomers in the next book please.
It has a great feeling of survival about it, human conflicts and well developed characters. There is more action in this book than the first, maybe to garner more readers. There is goriness and tragedy and a smidgen of romance.
Kasey is the leader of the group and the story is told from a female perspective which is great. She's plays like a tough and smart male lead character but we skip the machismo which is a relief. She's vulnerable and sure gets beat up often enough.
Her and her team are hunting for crazy bandits from the first book that kidnapped their friends. Along the way they meet up with a large new group of survivors which I am thankful didn't live up to Kacey's and my prediction it would be like in the other cheap zombie books about crazy hill billies or sects.
I think that this book actually should have been two because the action part really could have been expanded and developed more. Not that it needed more action, but rather the story around it. A lot of people died and it seemed to have been brushed off, there was more story to be told for such a big disaster.
The shocking tragedy in the whole Shannon and Kyra part is well told but I wasn't too impressed with how one of the important characters died there. Maybe my only, "That's not realistic!" moment.
This is why I preferred the first book, there was a lot more work done on every page while these action chapters in this book seemed to go by a bit fast.
I enjoyed the slower pace of the last few chapters because this author really knows how to work those moments but wish they were blended in more in the earlier action part. More than was done that is. We could have gotten two books out of this!
In the end the military shows up, I am so looking forward to the next book!
"a good saga continues"
a nice sequel to the first book. keeps you interested and caring about the main characters. I will get book 3 once my credits arrive.
I applaud all authors in the zombie apocalypse genre - even the "bad" ones. Keep doing what you do!
"Weak follow up to Promising Start"
UGH! After a great start in the first novel Dulaney falls dead in this follow up. High points are the narration by E Rodgers and the fact that Dulaney is actually a very good writer. Her writing quality provides cover for the fact that this seems like a jumble of scenes tossed together for no particular reason. There doesnt seem to be any effort to be creative as everything is old and predictable. Much of the story takes place in a prison (very similar to the WD series) but she makes no effort to make the stay there very interesting or different from the series. Except that there seem to be endless supplies that no one is making any effort to ration. Also, the bad guys are bad for no reason other than thats how they are written. I found myself many times saying "what? - no way." There are huge gaps in the logic of why the characters go from one place to the next. Also, even though they know that noise attracts the zombies they fire off rounds like they live in an ammo factory. The answer always seems to be to waste ammo and make noise when simpler tactics would be much more practical - like how about we create a distraction so the zombie hoard turns before they get to the hide out? And how the heck (spoiler) despite the fact that everyone is on high alert, does the main bad guy steal a horse, cut through two fences and escape right into the zombie hoard without anyone noticing?! There are a few good scenes but overall I found myself drifting and wondering how much longer it was going to go on.
"A leader greatly lacking"
Its a decent zombie story, with ok supporting characters. I problem was the main character not only was she the most frustrating lead character of any zombie novel I have yet listened too.
The worst was she thought she was a badass, I can forgive a lot zombie related stupidity but not Kasey's and i found her even more superficial. I became more and more disconnected from her as the book progressed.
"Downhill Story"
To be up front, I thought the first book was entertaining, but I have listened to better audio books. None the less it kept me engaged enough to continue the series. Well that ends with the second book. I am amazed I made it to the end and several time thought of stopping the book as the word painful comes to mind. But it would pick up a little and I would keep going. The story line itself is nothing new and just normal.The real problem is the characters, I just did not care if they lived or died. Their stories did not capture my interest and they were not developed in a may that kept my attention. For this reason I will not be continuing the story and will seek out some other Zombie books, ones where my credits provide more enjoyment.
"an okay zombie story"
It's okay. Better than some, worse than others. The storyline is pretty good. The narrator is okay, but she has too much of a southern accent to make a good zombie book narrator.
How can you change a writer's story? It is what it is.
I can't think of one.

Given today's unemployment rate for new graduates, finding your dream job often requires understanding what employers are looking for and a bit of patience, plus some of your own proactive steps. Following these tips can help you get started to find that first job.
Prepare your resume
To write a good resume, gather information on your graduation status, skills, volunteer work, internships, and job experience that would be relevant to prospective employers. Also, consider customizing your resume and its layout for each job opportunity, so that your relevant work experience, education, and abilities are noticeable for the reader. It's also a good idea to closely review your resume for spelling and grammatical errors.
Take advantage of your college career center before you graduate
Getting ahead of the game is important in your job search. Most schools have career counselors and services that can show you how to prepare a resume and cover letter, and to find job leads. Practice interviews with a counselor can also help increase your confidence and improve your interview skills.
Attend recruiting events
Local companies will sometimes visit college career centers to recruit new talent. It can also be helpful to attend on-campus recruiting events, company presentations, and job fairs, and to introduce yourself to representatives from these companies even before you graduate. Making a good impression at these events might benefit you while you are in school or when a future job opens up.
" Create a network with family, friends, professors, academic department heads, and former bosses to help in your job search."
Build your network
The further you extend your network, the greater the chance you'll hear about new opportunities. Create a network with family, friends, professors, academic department heads, and former bosses to help in your job search. They may offer suggestions, recommendations, or introductions to people they know who might be hiring. Even if they don't know of someone hiring right now, they might be able to introduce you to someone who would be willing to talk about their experience or their industry. By making that connection now, you will be fresh in that person's mind if they hear about a future opportunity.
Make social media work for you
Many recruiters research candidates via their social media profiles, so it can be beneficial to update your online profile. You can start by creating a profile with your relevant experience and educational information, and joining networking groups in your field of interest. Asking questions and posting appropriate links on the group's page can demonstrate that you're interested in and knowledgeable about what's happening in your field. Look for online sites that specialize in jobs for recent graduates to see what is posted and to also post your resume so others can find you.
After graduation, the "real world" will offer many exciting, educational experiences. Finding your first job can be tough, especially in today's environment, which makes the right tools and preparation all the more important towards helping to land the job of your dreams.

Iannetta keeps tabs on Italy
TEMPE, Ariz. Chris Iannetta had the opportunity to honor his heritage and play for Italy in the 2009 World Baseball Classic.
And the Angels catcher, then with the Colorado Rockies, was about to do it, only to get a call from Team USA to serve as co-starter when Joe Mauer got hurt. He opted for that instead. He wasn't eligible for this year's WBC because of the time he spent on the disabled list in 2012.
But he still is watching the upstart 2013 Italian team with interest and pride.
"They've been playing really well," said Iannetta, who identifies his Italian-American heritage. "It's fun to watch."
Iannetta's parents, Maria and Domenic, moved from villages near Naples to the East Coast as children. Chris was raised in Rhode Island, but many relatives still live in Italy.
He said none of them was paying much attention to this year's Classic despite the Italians' victories over Mexico and Canada to start pool play.
"It's definitely a soccer country," Iannetta said.
Iannetta's highest priority this spring is developing relationships with the Angels' three new starting pitchers: Tommy Hanson, Jason Vargas and Joe Blanton.
He has embraced the challenge.
"Some people, you click right away," Iannetta said. "Others, it's a little more work."
Vargas, who formed a battery with Iannetta on Saturday, said the two still need more work together.
"It would be unfair to say that we're on the same page or we both know exactly what we want to do," Vargas said. "That builds over time. There's a little idea, but the experience of being out on the field together is what really brings the relationship together."
Eight of the nine players in the Angels' lineup against the Colorado Rockies are expected to be regulars in 2013.
The other? Andrew Romine, subbing in at shortstop for Erick Aybar, who's in Puerto Rico with the Dominican Republic WBC team.
Romine, 27, is likely to make the 25-man roster as a utility infielder. He led the Angels in spring at-bats entering Saturday — partly because of his versatility and Aybar's absence.
He's thankful for the opportunity.
"It's kind of a win-win because he gets to play and get at-bats with them," Romine said. "It helps everybody out."
In 10 games, Romine is hitting .261 (6 for 23) with two walks.
Albert Pujols hit his first home run of the spring in just his second game Saturday, but he brushed aside any talk that it meant he felt ready to start the season.
"I hit seven home runs last spring and I had my worst start of the season," Pujols said. "You obviously always want to have a good spring training, but as long as you get your work, that's the most important thing."
Hitting third as the designated hitter, Pujols pulled a 2-0 splitter from Rockies right-hander Juan Nicasio over the left-field fence at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
In his other two at-bats, Pujols grounded into a double play and struck out swinging. After exiting in the seventh inning, he did baserunning exercises on the minor league fields to complete his workout.
Pujols, recovering from offseason knee surgery, is not expected to play today against the Kansas City Royals and doesn't yet have a target date to return to playing defense. He said his hitting was still leaving quite a bit to be desired.
"My timing's not there," he said. "It'll take about a couple more weeks."
LHP Sean Burnett plans to throw a simulated game today and, if all goes well, will make his first appearance of the spring Wednesday against the San Diego Padres. He has been nursing a stiff back since lifting his 4-year-old son into a shopping cart last month. …
Angels manager Mike Scioscia was not with the team while attending a family funeral in Pennsylvania. He is expected back today. Bench coach Rob Picciolo led the squad. …
Picciolo said outfielders Mike Trout and Josh Hamilton will likely make the trip to Surprise, Ariz., to face the Royals.

There has been much research done that family dinners help kids in a multitude of ways. While I don't doubt that this is true, I believe researchers should study the toll it takes on a parents sanity. In reality this pretty much sums up what happens in our house. Nonetheless we usually do sit down for a family meal most nights (the word sit is used in its loosest form). I present to you:
The Family Dinner Cycle
The scramble.
Leave work, sit in traffic, race obstacle course style to get the children at their respective pick up times. No sooner are they collected with their belongings in the car do we transition to....
The negotiation
What are we having for dinner? We have come to a sort of resolution in our house with a small number of meals that both adults and children will tolerate. No matter which one of these meals i have chosen to make, it is always the wrong one. There are tears. Not mine.
Child 1 zones out in front of TV. I run around Iron Chef style to get dinner on the table. Child 2 tries to grab the knife from me every time I turn my back for 3 seconds. Miraculously dinner gets made. Child 2 is uninjured. Children are collected and we start....
The meal
The children get their food. They request water and juice and napkins and forks and spoons and the red cup no the blue cup why does she get the blue cup I want the blue cup. They have finished eating by the time the adults sit down. Child 2 stands on the chair and bats at the light fixture with tomato sauce covered hands. There are food malfunctions resulting in tears. The chicken fell off the bone. The meat fell out of the taco. Adults shovel.
No sooner do adults start shoveling than the children make their nightly procession to the bathroom where they poop out what they just ate. Child 2 requires assistance in the bathroom. Only mommy. Adult appetite is lost.
dishes strewn about, crumbs everywhere, more food under the table than children ate off plates.
As the children have gotten older this is actually a vast improvement over dinners that included vomiting, screaming, and basically complete chaos. Now everyone feeds themselves, and sometimes we even manage conversation. It is a good feeling to know our family comes together at the end of the day, no matter how chaotic it is. And I know there will come a time where they will be grown, and not want to sit around a table with us as they once did.
So the cycle continues...except for the nights we feed the kids dinner and order in sushi. We call that part of the cycle: Recuperation.

GW Baseball Edged By Shepherd, 2-1
Weisberg's Complete Game Not Enough to Stop Rams
March 31, 2012
ARLINGTON, Va. - The George Washington baseball team received a strong start from sophomore Aaron Weisberg but could not solve visiting Shepherd's pitching, as the Colonials fell to the Rams, 2-1, on Saturday afternoon at Barcroft Park.
GW (9-17) got off to a quick start in the bottom of the first, as senior Matthew Murakami led off with a single, stole second and third, and scored when senior Stephen Oswald reached on an error. The run stood as the Colonials' lone score of the afternoon.
Weisberg pitched a complete game, the Colonials' second in two days, but gave up what proved to be the winning runs in the third inning when Shepherd's Nate Minnich lifted a two-run home run to right field to give the Rams a 2-1 lead.
Weisberg settled down and gave up just two hits the rest of the game with none coming after the fifth inning. He fanned six batters and allowed just one walk. His earned run average stands at a team-best 1.86.
The Colonials threatened in the seventh inning, putting runners on first and second with one out, but were unable score the tying run.
GW and Shepherd will conclude their two-game series on Sunday afternoon at Barcroft Park. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Getting Involved
Wesleyan students have a long history of getting involved in the greater Middletown community. Much of this is done through volunteer and community service through the Office of Community and Volunteer Service. But some academic courses—service-learning courses—also have a service component to them. In the past, service-learning courses at Wesleyan have:
- Conducted the homeless count required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Middlesex Supportive Housing Coalition;
- Examined the effect of local preschools on preparing kindergarteners to be school-ready, for the Middletown School Readiness Council;
- Studied the North End landfill to determine whether the methane it produced could be harvested economically;
- Taught 20th century music compositional techniques to Middletown High School students;
- Taught dance classes at the Green Street Arts Center;
- Aided medical research at the Community Health Clinic.
If you think Wesleyan students might be of help in a project your organization or agency is doing, planning, or just imagining, the first step is an informal discussion with the Director of the Allbritton Center.

After scratching and scraping and scrapping and ultimately getting screwed, Jake Peavy finally has 10 wins this season. Special thanks go out to Alex Rios.
Rios drove in all six runs with a pair of mighty blows, including a first-inning grand slam. That was enough for Peavy, who pitched out of some jams for six tough innings en route to his first victory since Aug. 1
For the second straight game, the Sox jumped on Minnesota pitching early. They loaded the bases on P.J. Walters with their first three hitters. Paul Konerko, as he is wont to do lately, popped out to second to threaten the momentum. Alex Rios gained it right back, ripping a 1-1 pitch over the left field wall for his second grand slam of his White Sox career.

Osama bin Laden son-in-law, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, has been taken into custody by the United States and will stand trial in New York City for his role in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. The Al Qaeda spokesman was initially captured in Turkey and was being transferred to Kuwait via Jordan where he was turned over to FBI agents. The decision to bring him to face justice in the U.S. court system rather than the detention center at Guantanamo Bay is something of a mystery. One would think that this character should be thoroughly interrogated as he probably knows a great deal about the inner workings of Al Qaeda. But now, thanks to Barack Obama and his Justice Department flunky, Eric Holder, Abu Ghaith will enjoy all of the privileges of a U.S. citizen.
We have seen over the past 4 years and change that the Obama administration has cold feet when it comes to interrogating Al Qaeda suspects. They prefer just killing them, usually with a unmanned drone strike. But this means that a great deal of useful intelligence is lost forever. Obama likes to brag about his record against Al Qaeda, but the reality is that the organization has expanded its operations and is probably more of a threat now than ever before.
Who can say what perils we will face now that Osama bin Laden son-in-law is being brought to New York City to face trial in the United States? Sulaiman Abu Ghaith has served as a spokesman for Al Qaeda at least since the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001. The Barack Obama administration decided not to take him to Guantanamo Bay where other high ranking members of Al Qaeda are being detained and face trial in a special military court. Instead, the Obama White House is treating this terrorist like any other felon and allowing him the full rights of privileges of a U.S. citizen.

Wichita Wichita police are investigating a report of a pizza delivery driver firing shots at someone he claims tried to rob him.
KAKE-TV reports the Domino's delivery driver arrived at an apartment just before 10 p.m. Wednesday, but no one answered the door. The driver told authorities he went to his car to get a gun because he was worried about his safety.
Police say a man approached the driver from behind and tried to rob him as the driver opened the trunk of his car.
The driver told police he turned around with a gun in his hand, and the suspect ran away as the driver fired two shots at him.
Police say the driver was interviewed at the scene and released.

January 2013, Länna Church, Sweden. Latin texts and English translations included BIS-SACD-2037 [77:58] This is the second disc by New York Polyphony that has come my way. Back in 2007 I admired a Christmas programme entitled I Sing the Birth (review). Since then this vocal quartet has had a couple of personnel changes though counter-tenor Geoffrey Williams and bass Craig Phillips remain. This programme includes three English Mass settings. I almost wonder if, in some ways, it might have been even more interesting if the programme ordering had been altered so that we heard the Plummer setting first followed by the Tallis and then the Byrd. That would have presented the settings in chronological order, which is quite important, not least because of the political and religious upheaval that took place in sixteenth-century England, which had such an impact on church music. On the other hand, the programme order, and especially the placing within it of the three contemporary pieces, gives every sign that it has been calculated very precisely so probably one should respect the order in which the pieces have been placed. I suspect your view of the Byrd performance will be coloured by the sort of sound you prefer in this music. I must admit to a preference for what one hears from The Tallis Scholars. Their recording of the Mass for Four Voices, made in the 1980s, offers a very different experience. As usual with that ensemble there are two singers per part and in their performance they have sopranos on the top line. New York Polyphony, singing at a different pitch, have a counter-tenor on the top line. The likelihood is that Byrd wrote his setting for use at clandestine recusant celebrations of the Mass and there's a strong case to be made that at such liturgies only a very small number of singers, all of them adult male, might have been available. So, it may well be that the NYP performance is "authentic" and the use of just four voices undoubtedly gives a sense of intimacy. However, comparing this performance with the one by The Tallis Scholars I came down in favour of the English performance. The NYP performance is absolutely immaculate. However, I came to feel that the timbre and sound was somewhat unvarying. Also - and this is highly subjective - the NYP performance was a little detached and didn't offer as much emotional engagement as that offered by The Tallis Scholars. Both ensembles offer tremendous clarity in their delivery of the part-writing and in this respect NYP's use of one voice to a part perhaps gives them a slight edge. I must say that the reservations that I've just described didn't really apply to the Tallis Mass. That may indicate that I became used to the sound made by New York Polyphony but in fact I'm inclined to think this is the best of all the performances on the disc. It's uncertain when the setting was composed - or why. In his very good notes Geoffrey Williams says perceptively that the setting is "an odd hybrid: Catholic in intent and Anglican in execution." I wonder if it was not written in the expectation that it would be used in recusant Catholic liturgies: the style of the music seems to be more 'public' than that of Byrd's setting. Oddly, Tallis omits several lines of the Credo - though not as many as were left out by John Plummer. Perhaps because the style of the music feels more 'public' the singing of NYP seems to deliver a much stronger emotional charge than I had experienced in the Byrd performance. They impart welcome energy to both the Gloria and Credo and I admired their spacious account of the Sanctus. Unless you insist on a larger ensemble in such music you'll find that this is an excellent performance of the Mass and the singing is extremely polished. John Plummer's Missa sine nomine is for three voices (TBarB). Textually it's interesting for a number of reasons. In the first place the Kyrie is not the usual tripartite plea for mercy; instead Plummer sets a much longer, troped text. He also omits quite a lot of the text of both the Gloria and the Credo. It's suggested in the notes that the reason for these omissions may be that the entire text would be recited by the celebrant and so the omission of words from a musical setting would not be thought a problem. That sounds plausible though I must say that, divorced from a liturgical context, it is a little odd to move in the Credo straight from the Resurrection on the third day to 'et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen.' without missing a beat, as it were. Geoffrey Williams suggests that Plummer's "gentle lyricism is more Renaissance than medieval in execution" though I'm not sure I'd completely agree with that; certainly by the side of Tallis and Byrd Plummer's music has a very much earlier feel. The particular skill in assembling this programme lies in the way three short contemporary pieces have been woven into it. It's not entirely clear when the late Sir Richard Rodney Bennett composed A Colloquy with God. The notes tell us that after hearing New York Polyphony sing in 2012 Bennett "gifted" the piece to them. That suggests to me it had already been written, but probably fairly recently. Is this its first recording? It's a setting of some lines by Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682) and it's a fastidiously crafted little piece which this quartet sings beautifully. The other two pieces were written for the group - Andrew Smith's expressly for this recording - so I think we can be fairly sure these are recorded premières. Not only are both very interesting pieces but their inclusion in this programme, and at the respective specific points in the proceedings is very intelligent. The Tallis Mass lacks a Kyrie, as was a frequent practice at the time. Andrew Smith's piece therefore acts as an apt preface and he follows the precedent of John Plummer in setting a troped text, Cunctipotens Genitor Deus ('All-powerful Father, God'). I'm not sure what the source of the words is but Smith's short piece, though indisputably modern, is not unidiomatic in the context of the Tallis Mass. The juxtaposition works very well. Gabriel Jackson's Ite missa est is a fitting text with which to conclude a programme mainly consisting of Mass settings. Written for this ensemble, it's well described in the notes as "playfully intricate". It's ingenious, not least in the way arresting sonorities are conjured from just four voices. This extrovert little piece makes an apt conclusion to the programme. Throughout this enterprising sequence the singing of New York Polyphony is immaculate. They have been beautifully recorded in a Swedish church. As is invariably the case with this label, the booklet is extremely well produced. In conclusion I should explain the title of the programme. It's taken from the first stanza of a poem by the English Catholic martyr, Robert Southwell (1561-1595). The poem is printed in full at the front of the booklet and Geoffrey Williams weaves some couplets from the poem into his notes. John Quinn

Fifty years ago today, the Beatles made their U.S. debut on T.V.'s The Ed Sullivan Show.  On February 9, 1964, the English pop group was seen by 73 million television viewers and "Beatlemania," which had been building momentum since the group released its first U.S. single, began in earnest.   The Beatles spent just one week in America and only made four public appearances on this first visit, two in New York, one in Washington D.C., and one in Miami Beach on another taping of the Sullivan show.
The Beatles would not return to the United States until August later that year for their first cross-country U.S tour. Cincinnati provided the seventh venue on the tour, as the group performed at the Cincinnati Gardens on August 27th. Issues with the local musicians' union almost cancelled the show; the band however finally took the stage at the Gardens at 9:35 PM. Also at this show, it is rumored that the group had a second phone conversation backstage with Elvis Presley, who spoke to them previously after their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
They returned again to Cincinnati August 21-22, 1966, this time performing at Crosley Field. Scheduled to perform on the 21st, the show was canceled due to inclement weather and was rescheduled for the following day. This show was the fifth to last public performance ever for the band as the Beatles played their final concert together at San Francisco's Candlestick Park nine days later.
The images here are from both the 1964 and 1966 shows in Cincinnati. Captions are reprinted from actual headline captions in the Dayton Daily News. All images are from the Dayton Daily News Archive (MS-458), Wright State University Special Collections & Archives.

Officials in Newtown are asking that no additional donations be sent of such items as teddy bears, food, clothes, school supplies, blankets, toys, letters, cards, candles and artwork, according to an email from John Voket, associate editor of The Newtown Bee.
The community is unable "to receive, process, store and distribute what was arriving" after a gunman killed 20 schoolchildren, he wrote.
"They are asking that any items already collected be distributed within the areas or communities of origin with Newtown's deepest gratitude, and in memory of those we lost on December 14," Voket wrote.
For more information on donating, go to the Newtown Savings Bank website at nsbonline.com. United Way of Western Connecticut is helping organize the Sandy Hook School Support Fund.

[CORRECTED] Rep. Schakowsky to Andrew Breitbart: Leave Weiner Alone!
Weiner has claimed that his account was hacked.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) dismissed the matter on Wednesday, saying it might help members take online security, in particular their Twitter accounts, more seriously.
"I would just say to members watch your accounts so you're not invaded so nobody hacks into your account," she said, adding that she has confidence in the way that Weiner has handled the matter.
