"Hard decisions are only hard when you're in the process of making them."
– Debbie Millman
For some of you, this may be most important podcast episode you ever listen to. I don't say that lightly.
It has nothing to do with me and everything to do with my guest, who walks us through gripping stories, tactical details, humor, pain, and emotional redemption. We cover some sensitive and extremely important ground. Thank you, Debbie.
Graphic Design USA has named Debbie Millman (@debbiemillman) "one of the most influential designers working today." She is also the founder and host of Design Matters, the world's first and longest-running podcast about design, where she's interviewed nearly 300 design luminaries and cultural commentators including Massimo Vignelli and Milton Glaser.
Debbie's done it all. Her artwork has been exhibited around the world. She's designed everything from wrapping paper to beach towels, greeting cards to playing cards, notebooks to t-shirts, and Star Wars merchandise to global Burger King rebrands.
Debbie is the President Emeritus of AIGA (one of only five women to hold the position in the organization's one-hundred-year history), the editorial and creative director of Print magazine, and the author of six books. In 2009, Debbie co-founded (with Steven Heller) the world's first masters program in branding at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, which has received international acclaim.
We cover a lot in this discussion: how to recover from rejection, how to overcome personal crises of faith, class exercises from her most impactful mentors, and much more.

Japan has been rebuffed by Australia after strengthening its defence of its controversial whale hunt.
The whaling fleet was riding out rough weather off the Australian Antarctic Territory against a Sea Shepherd blockade on Wednesday, 11 days after the last whale was shot.
The activists said the factory ship Nisshin Maru was still unrefuelled following damaging collisions between their vessels, and with polar conditions deteriorating towards the end of the whaling season.
In Tokyo a top-level defence of the hunt has been made, but sharply dismissed by Environment Minister Tony Burke. Fisheries Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi underscored the importance of marine food security to Japan and said criticism of whaling was ''a cultural attack''.
''In some countries they eat dogs, like Korea,'' Mr Hayashi said. ''In Australia they eat kangaroos. We don't eat those animals, but we don't stop them from doing that because we understand that's their culture.''
With Australia arguing at the International Court of Justice that Japan's scientific whaling is a sham, Mr Burke said Mr Hayashi had virtually conceded the hunt was nothing to do with science. ''It's significant for them to have abandoned any pretence of a so-called scientific reason,'' Mr Burke tweeted.
Mr Burke did not address Mr Hyashi's comment about kangaroos, but added: ''How absurd has the argument become, if Japan is now arguing that it has a traditional cultural practice of travelling from one side of the planet to the other to kill whales in a whale sanctuary.''
Mr Hayashi said his country would never stop hunting whales, and its program gained a boost with the release of a US court's opinion that severely criticised tactics used by Sea Shepherd against the whalers.
A panel of three judges led by the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals chief judge, Alex Kozinski, described the tactics as the ''very embodiment of piracy'' and called the group's founder Paul Watson ''eccentric''.
''You don't need a peg leg or an eye patch,'' the opinion said. ''When you ram ships; hurl glass containers of acid; drag metal-reinforced ropes in the water to damage propellers and rudders; launch smoke bombs and flares with hooks; and point high-powered lasers at other ships, you are, without a doubt, a pirate, no matter how high-minded you believe your purpose to be.''
The opinion published in Seattle explains an injunction last December restraining Washington-state based Sea Shepherd Conservation Society from coming within 500 yards (457 metres) of the whaling fleet.
After the initial injunction was published SSCS said it would comply fully, and control of the Antarctic whaling operation passed to Sea Shepherd Australia.
The ICR said it had filed a motion for contempt with the court alleging breaches of the injunction by Sea Shepherd on four separate occasions, including this week when they clashed over attempts to refuel the Nisshin Maru.

Apple unveils iPad Air, iPad Mini with Retina display
Apple is hosting an event in San Francisco on Tuesday, where it is widely expected the company will announce a new lineup of iPad tablets.
Follow the latest updates from USA TODAY's Marco della Cava below:
11:23: Cook signs off inviting press to "get your hands on these products...Thank you for joining us." And thank YOU for joining me for this live blog from Apple's new iPad event. One final note: Hey, where's the cool band to make the final musical statement, a la Elvis Costello or the Foo Fighters? Maybe next time.
11:21: Tim Cook returns to the stage, standing before images of new iPads. "In just a few weeks we had our largest iPhone launch ever, and we launched iOS7, and just today, the new MacBook Pros with stunning displays and incredible battery performance. ...We announced new versions of iWork and iLife for OS X and iOS. And we couldn't be prouder of both iPads, Air and Mini. We have made a cool new ad (on the iPad Air) that we'd like to run for you now." The ad is a voiceover showing the iPad in different work and play environments, classrooms to boardrooms. "We can't wait to see where you'll take it next."
11:17: iPad Mini gets Retina Display for its 7.9 inch diagonal display. Faster, plus has 5 megapixel camera, comes in silver, white, space gray and black, and costs $399 for 16GB with Wifi, and $529 with cell tech. iPad Mini drops to $299.
11:14: Jony Ive narrates iPad Air video. Says its simplicity belies a ruggedness of a device that is "meant to be taken places," it's "not precious."
11:12: iPad Air replaces top of the line iPad, $499 with 16GB Wifi. Ships Nov 1. iPad2 drops to $399. China gets product, too, as it did with new iPhones.
11:10: iPad on a diet, down to 1 lb, from 1.4 lb. Smaller bezel, lighter feel. Inside, Apple A7 chip, same as iPhone 5s. 64-bit desktop class architecture, over 1 billion transistors. CPU performance is double previous generation, ditto with graphics. In fact graphics are 72 times better than original iPad, an improvement when playing games, "it's screaming fast."
11:08: Schiller back on stage now, taking over for Cook to announce updates to next gen iPad: "This is the biggest step yet." Video plays: Image of super thin device on screen. "Thinner, lighter, more powerful, and it deserves a new name: iPad Air."
11:04: Video showcasing many ways iPad being used, from navigation for a rally driver to surgeon's tool to menu to coach's helper in a football huddle to a lone climber perched on the side of a snowy vertical face.
11:02: Cooks says there are 475,000 iPad-specific apps, versus just "stretched smartphone apps."
11:01: Cook lists name-less quotes saying iPad wasn't going to fly. "Earlier this month we sold our 170 millionth iPad. I can't think of another product that's come so far, so fast. Now, everyone seems to be making a tablet, even some of the doubters." Shows graphic: iPad usage is 81 percent of tablet share.
11: Cook back on stage: "Next up, iPad."
10:56: All the productivity apps will be available for free, says Cue. Free seems to be the operative word of this Apple event. "It's the biggest day ever for apps."
10:55: iWork for iCloud now features Collaboration: click the Share button, and you can edit the same document at the same time.
10:51: Big updates to iWork, says Cue. new UI for Pages, including handy formatting panels that are easier to get to. "We're not cluttering the screens with a lot of controls." Numbers has that new iOS7 look, simpler, cleaner. Keynote has "new effects and animations ...we're been running the new Keynote in this presentation." There are "more realistic physics to the transitions."
10:48: Demo of GarageBand on stage: swapping out different drummers makes a so-so tune perk up. Where's John Bonham when you need him?
10:45: Eddie Cue up now talking about apps. New versions of some iLife apps announced. iPhoto: new look, PhotoBooks now available for iPad. iPhoto: easier to share, desktop class effects for movie-making, frame rates can be slowed down taking advantage of iPhone 5S. New feature: iMovie Theater: if you create movie on iPhone it's available across devices. GarageBand getting a new look, from 8 tracks to 16 tracks. New look and design on the Mac for GarageBand.
10:41: Lots of scenes of wildly high-tech CNC machining, robots at work, bead blasting, clean rooms, laser cutters, microscopes. Makes working in a factory seem cool.
10:38: Mac Pro will be assembled in the USA, and designed as usual in California. Video up now showing how Mac Pro was created.
10:37: It looks like something offloaded from the Death Star by the Rebel Alliance. In fact, Apple asked filmmaker Dean Devlin - "Makes real time 4K video editing a reality and will change the way I make movies." Stuart Price, producer for Lady Gaga and The Killers, said "it's blazing fast and shockingly quiet, the perfect computer for the recording studio." It's $2,999.
10:34: The flood of techno-speak is overwhelming, but boils down to Apple's desire to make the Pro the definitive pro desktop. "Up to 7 teraflops of power"...if you know what that means, Pro is your kinda tech baby.
10:33: Mac Pro details next. Looks like a monolith from "2001: A Space Odyssey."
10:31: MacBook Pro 15-inch: faster processing and faster graphics, 8 hours of battery life. Faster 801.11ac Wifi. Price drop here: from $2,199, down to $1,999.
10:28: Price drops: 13-inch MacBook is now $1,299, $200 less than before. Ships today.
10:27: Major updates for MacBooks. 13-inch MacBook Pro is now 3.46 pounds, and thinner, .71 inches thin. Has 4th Gen Intel chip, with Intel Iris Graphics, 90% faster than previous generation. 9 hours of battery life. "You can watch the 'Dark Knight' trilogy on one charge."
10:26: Phil Schiller takes the stage from Federighi to talk about MacBook updates.
10:26: Mavericks available today.
10:26: Federighi says that upgrading OS "will be as easy as downloading an app. The days of spending hundreds of dollars to get the most out of your Mac are gone. Today we are announcing Mavericks is free."
10:22: Interesting - with iMaps on the Mac, the Calendar becomes "geographically aware" and includes driving or walking directions to and from appointments.
10:19: Big laugh when Craig gets a message from his wife (code name: Hair Force Two) saying "untucked shirt, scandalous!" Federighi writes back: "Phil (Schiller) is my fashion guru."
10:17: New apps for the Mac - Maps with directions and flyover, and iBooks for Mac, including textbooks. Federighi now behind an iMac doing a demo: He pulls up iBooks (textbook on Mars) and essentially lays out a new study experience for today's schoolkids.
10:15: Craig Federighi on the mic now: talking about upgrades to Mac and OS X. Changes include power efficiency: "even 13 inch MacBook Air, if you install Mavericks you get up to an hour long web browsing on a single charge." Also improvements to memory. New Mavericks feature is "compressed memory," making space for new allocations - 6 GB of data fit in 4 GB of system RAM.
10:12: Mac talk next up from Cook. "Our competition is different, they're confused. They're trying to make PCs into tablets and tablets into PCs. We have a very clear direction and very ambitious goal. We believe deeply in this category (the Mac) and we're not slowing down on innovation.
10:08: Cook singing the praises of iOS7. Going over highlights like iTunes Radio, a billion songs listened to so far. App Store has "over 1,000,000 apps in the store...cummulative dowloads are at 60 downloads ...developers have earned more than $13 billion."
10:06: Cook says iPhone updates are next up, but first ...another video: Footage of how 9 million new iPhone 5cs and 5s's hit stores globally, lots of pumped up people waiting in lines on streets from Barcelona to New York.
10:02: Tim Cook strides out on stage in his jeans and black button down shirt. "I really love that video ...it does such an incredible job of talking about our values. It reflects the unique way Apple creates what we believe are the very best products in the world."
10 a.m.: Show starts. "How can anyone make anything perfect" on the screen, video playing. "Designing something requires focus." Sounds like a precursor to a Jony Ive voiceover.
9:58: Music playing - empty stage here at Moscone Center, huge white Apple logo floats in the middle of a black screen. The usual Apple show preamble.
Update at 9:55 a.m. PT: Apple's event starts in about five minutes.
Our original post
The company will likely reveal two iPad models: the standard version with a thinner, lighter design, faster processing chips and a better camera; and a new iPad Mini that will boast a sharper Retina display.
Apple's event arrives as the company continues to face pressure from rivals launching lower-cost tablets running on Google's Android mobile operating system. According to IDC, twice as many Android tablets were shipped during the second quarter of this year than Apple devices.
Apple is also expected to unveil a new Macbook laptop computer as well as details on the OS X Mavericks operating system for Macs.
USA TODAY will have live updates from the event from reporter Marco della Cava starting at 1 p.m. ET. Follow this post for the latest from the event.

So last night I was doing a phone interview with one, and was asked this great question:
"Doctor, have any of your patients ever stopped taking their Alzheimer's medication due to death?"
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
No, we shove it in their mouths as long as they are above ground, so they actually stop because of burial...
Did the interviewer realize how ridiculous this question was?
I volunteer at a food bank and I'm required to ask applicants why they need food from the food bank. Like someone is going to say "Oh I can afford food, I just want a free meal" or "The food bank is closer than the grocery store" or "I've heard the no-name brand noodles and tuna here are to die for."
The sad thing is that those surveys go through many layers of approvals before the study is commenced. I'm amazed that nobody caught the absurdity of the question.
No, they take it until they forget to take it.
I hope he meant someone ELSE's death. As in, the person who was responsible for making sure they took their medication died?
Nope, nope, zombies are actually one of our biggest target groups. Take Forgetitnot and preserve your BRAAAIIINNNS!
"Yeah, doc, I was taking my medicine regularly, but then one day I ate some shrooms and went to see this Bergman movie, and it just really hit me that we're all going to die and that everything in life is just ultimately futile and meaningless. So why bother?"
Yes, every single one. I know it's statistically significant, but...
I can't believe this person REALLY asked that. Do they not read AND comprehend?
Thank goodness there were no sex toy questions (or aliens or something really weird) on that survey. I'm sure they'd ask.
OMG...(scratching head, shaking head)
Hmm...did you answer that you haven't ran into any talking Alzheimer zombies to find out? And would they remember?
My dad did.
Only the zombies.
As someone who has given these types of surveys over the phone: the interviewer is REQUIRED to read to read the survey VERBATIM...
...even if the question seems silly or stupid it must be read exactly as it appears on the monitor or sheet of paper.
Most people performing interviews are not employed directly by the drug company. They likely are employed by a company that performs market research. Most of this 'research' is not related to pharmaceuticals or medicine.
I was one of 3-5 interviewers out of over 100 who was considered 'intelligent enough' to read surveys to physicians. None of us had completed college. None of us were trained in a medical field. Our boss handed us a packet of questions and quickly told us how to pronounce words like erythropoietin.
If a physician asked me to clarify a vague question, i couldn't because i honestly didn't know. The worst thing was interviewing people who claimed to have a medical degree and claimed to specialize in a certain field...and they would ask me what these specific medical terms were. Finally, most of the doctors i interviewed who spoke english as a 2nd language did not know what the word 'efficacy' meant.
I think I wrote this somewhere already, but these kinds of "stupid" questions get asked in surveys all the time. (As avid readers of Dr Grumpies you all will know.)
Most of the time though they have a reason behind them: That is to catch people not reading the questions carefully or answering after a pattern. Basically they are tests for the validity of the answers given. Example: Someone always answering "No" (possibly thinking "lets get it over with I want to go to lunch") would have had a problem with that question.
Even though it may seem so sometimes... most social scientists and other authors actually think (a lot), before they spend the thousands upon thousands it costs to roll out a study. Exceptions validate that rule.
"Funny you should ask that. All the ones who have died have stopped taking their medication as a result. Isn't that amazing?"
Little Calf Creamery. Delicious homemade ice cream and food in Thousand Oaks!

Topeka is a city of 125,000 and the capital city of Kansas; as the seat of the state government, 20% of all employed adults in town are employed by the state. This Midwestern city is home to a number of interesting sites and museums, which cover everything from air combat to full-size tipis. It's also notable for its history; it was founded as a free town after the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act and, 100 years later, was the site of the Brown vs. Board of Education case.
Has the time come for you to get out of the dorm and move into an off campus WUT apartment? Perhaps the options available from the Washburn University housing office no longer meet your needs and you would like to find a cheap apartment close to the WUT campus. If so, you can search for off campus Washburn University apartments with MyNewPlace's college housing search.
Although Washburn University student housing may be very conveniently close to campus, moving to an off campus apartment can be a great way to save money, put some distance in between yourself and an RA, get accustomed to living in your own apartment and building up rental history.
WUT apartments for rent are available close to campus and in other neighborhoods around Topeka, Kansas City. Using our map based university apartment finder, you can find off campus housing near campus to ensure you can still get to all the WUT Ichabods games and make it to class on time.

Because Photoshop actions are a series of recorded steps, they are cross platform (Mac/PC compatible). But just because they should work, does not mean they will. Many times, issues occur due to accidental user error. Other times Photoshop may disagree with the order in which you are working. And occasionally an action is recorded with technical problems. Here are 15 common reasons that actions will give you issues or errors and how you can troubleshoot them:
1. 16 Bit vs 8 bit – at this time, many features of Photoshop are only available in 8-bit mode. If you shoot raw and you use LR or ACR, you may be exporting as 16-bit/32-bit files. You will need to convert to 8-bit if the action steps are unable to work in 16-bit/32-bit. In the top toolbar, go under IMAGE – MODE – and check off 8-bit
2. A layer mess – if you get an error message after running a few actions consecutively, or if you do manual editing and then run an action, occasionally the action gets confused and cannot perform correctly. A quick way to test this is to make a snapshot (so you save where you are), flatten (Layer – Flatten), then run the action. If it works, you know that something you did prior is causing confusion. You can work off a flattened or merged copy, or rework the order in which you are doing things.
3. Error messages about the background layer – If you get an error such as "The object layer background is not currently available" it may mean you have renamed your background layer. If the action calls upon the background, it cannot work without one. You will want to create a merged layer of your work up to this point, and then name it "Background" so that you can use the action.
4. The cover up – sometimes you will run actions back-to-back, or work manually and then play one. But nothing happens. Assuming layer masks are revealing, what could be wrong? Layer order likely is to blame. One example is with the Eye Doctor action that helps eyes sparkle. It needs the background layer to work. If you or another process duplicated pixel layer and then you run the Eye Doctor, it will be covered up. All the painting and masking in the world will not help until that pixel layer is turned off. In this situation, flattening or merging into a "Background" layer is advisable. Here is a href="https://mcpactions.com/2011/04/25/photoshop-help-get-your-layers-layer-masks-working-flawlessly/">video that explains more about layer order.
5. Layer mask issues – you may think an action did not work because nothing changed – but some need to be activated by using the layer mask. Learn how to use layer masks in this Photoshop video tutorial. Remember, unless indicated in the instructions, white reveals and black conceals. Also make sure the mask is selected that you wish to work on. It should have a thin outline around it. Also make sure when painting on a mask that your blend mode is set to "normal." This video will help you troubleshoot layer mask problems.
6. Improper version – not all actions work in all version of Photoshop. Check with the designer to find compatible versions. If purchasing, most makers do not allow for returns so pay special attention to the versions that are compatible. As an example, if one of my actions says it works in CS2, CS3 and CS4, that means it was tested in CS and prior and was not compatible.
7. Not reading directions – Many of my actions have pop up instructions. You will need to read these or your actions may not work properly. A great example of that is Color Explosion from the Complete Workflow. There is a message asking you to paint on the photo with a white soft brush and then resume the action by clicking play. If you do not do this, you cannot save your action as a a .jpg. I get many emails asking "why can't I save my image as a .jpg?" I always know which they are using and why. So remember to read the pop up messages, watch the photoshop video tutorials, and read the included instructions for best results.
8. Things just got messed up – if you ever want to alter an action, make a duplicate copy first. Sometimes you may not even realize that you clicked record or deleted a step, etc. When these automated processes run, they do exactly what they are told. The slightest altering can cause breakage. Your best bet is to delete the messed up one and re-install the original Photoshop action set (do this by the set).
9. Photoshop is missing something – this is rare, but I have seen situations where someone says an action will not work. In order to operate effectively, the commands must be available. So for example, I had a customer who was missing certain filters, so when she used Texture Mix and Match from Frosted Memories vintage Photoshop actions, it gave her an error. Once she worked with Adobe, she got the proper files that are included when you purchase Photoshop. Since actions can only do what exists, if your Photoshop program is missing components, you will need to call Adobe to locate these files. If you purchased from eBay or non-licensed vendors, you may have a bootleg copy and that could be why your program is incomplete.
10. Stopping at every step – occasionally a photographer may accidentally alter the action so that it stops at every step. Or it is possible the source you where you got the product recorded it that way. This is easily corrected by following these instructions.
11. Your preferences may be corrupt. This usually does not happen with actions, but preferences can affect certain processes. If your action calls upon a process that is messed up, it will not work. Follow these directions to fix preference files.
12. Poorly written – if an action does not work, it may be a dud. This often happens with random free actions around the internet. In this case, delete it and move on. If you paid for it, contact the vendor for support, as there may be additional reasons you are having trouble that are not listed above.
13. If you are making your own actions, remember not everything is recordable. When you play it back, if it is not doing what you thought it would, you may have some steps that need to be done in a different way to get it to work properly.
14. Just stops working. If a particular action worked, and stopped working, it likely is one of the above reasons. Actions do not just "stop working" unless they are altered. But they can give you trouble for some reasons mentioned above (like masks and layer order). If it worked at one time, and it was not altered, it should still work. Check things mentioned above and reload if it still is not working. If nothing works, contact the company you bought the action from and they should be able to help you. Before contacting them, make sure you have checked the most common problems. When possible and for quickest results, provide screen shots showing what issues you are having.
15. In CS4, CS5, CS6, and CC, there is a bizarre phenomenon with clipping masks. Even if you do not know what one is, it could cause your actions to function incorrectly. You may not even know it. We see this most often with black and white images. Customers will email and say the black and white action is not turning their image monotone. Or they get an error saying "invert not available" or "clipping mask not available." Here is a tutorial on how to fix the "clipping mask issue" this if it happens to you – it just requires a setting change in Photoshop. We are not sure why most are set properly, but some are not.
16. In CS6 and PS CC, if you crop before running an action, you may run into problems. Learn how to fix your issue if you get the error "Background is not currently available" in Photoshop CS6. Additionally, if you have the Rounded Blog It Boards or Rounded Print It Boards, or the free Facebook Fix actions, you will need to download them from our site again. We included a version just for CS6 as the past versions were incompatible. See our Troubleshooting and Support FAQ sections for details on re-downloading products.
Remember if you are using MCP's products, look for built in instructions as well as watch the Photoshop actions video tutorials. These are available on the product pages and also in the FAQ drop down area of my site. Contact us if you still are having issues after trying everything. We are happy to provide phone support for paid products. Thank you.

Acupuncture is a technique that relies on needles being inserted into the body at specific points. Originating in China, it has been used for at least 2500 years. In China and Japan acupuncture forms a central part of traditional medical treatments. The needles are inserted at points determined by meridians, channels through which qi flows through the body. The aim is to correct the imbalance or blockage of qi energy in the meridians, which can lead to illness.
Acupuncture was introduced into Europe in 1683 by the physician Willem ten Rhijne. Rhijne had seen the technique while at the Dutch East India Company trading post, one of the few points of contact with the rest of the world then permitted by the Japanese government.
By the early 1800s acupuncture was fashionable in France and Great Britain and praised for its effectiveness in treating conditions such as gout and rheumatism. Its success may have been partly because of the resemblance seen between Chinese and humoral explanations of disease, and its subsequent decline is linked to the rise of pathological anatomy.
Today, acupuncture has undergone another global revival. Double blind tests continue to return contradictory accounts of its efficacy, but acupuncture's popularity as a treatment, in particular for pain, now seems firmly entrenched across the world.

Brno, Czech Republic, June 26, 2013 - Irina Voronkova, Ksenija Ilchenko and Irina Fetisova are playing for the Russian national team at the FIVB Women's World Championship in Brno. They are all daughters of famous sportsmen who played for their national team in the past.
Irina Voronkova, spiker, is daughter of the new coach of men's national team, Andrej Voronkov. "My father didn't force me to become a volleyball player" she says "in fact at the beginning I started with basketball but then I tried volleyball and I preferred it. I was born in Turkey because my father was playing there, so I started my career there, but now I play for Dinamo Kazan in Russia."
Ksenija Ilchenko has a famous mother (Irina Smirnova Ilchenko) who played with URSS national team and won two Olympic medals in a row (gold in Seul 1988 and silver in Barcelona 1992), instead. "I began a volleyball player because of my mother, of course, I grew up watching her matches, so it was quite an easy choice."
She reveals "Since I started, my mother always followed me. She sits in the stands and suggests me how to play: it's like I have two coaches, one on the court and one at home".
She explains "My dream is to become a double Olympic champions like her, or to do better, if possible!" she says "Of course my idol and my hero is her, I hope to become a great player as she was."
The third Russian star of the team is Irina Fetisova, middle blocker: she has also a famous sportsman at home, but he is not connected to volleyball. Her father is Andrej Fetisov, basketball player with a great career in Europe and with the national team.
"In fact I started with basketball, but then I tried volleyball because I didn't like it too much."
She explains "I liked volleyball, instead, but I didn't think about a professional career as him, simply I played well and now I hope to improve as much as I can to play with the senior national team one day."

Americans' lack of paid holiday leave is legendary in Australia. Blog followers may find this article on working life here interesting (from CNNMoney):
Not only do American workers get less vacation time than workers in other industrialized countries, but they also opt to take fewer days off.
The average employed American worker got 18 vacation days last year, but only used 14of those desirable days off, according to a 2010 survey by Expedia.com.
Alternatively, workers in France got 37 vacation days last year and used 35 of them while the average worker in Great Britain received 28 vacation days and took 25, Expedia said.
Meanwhile, those four forfeited days of vacation per person add up quickly. Altogether, Americans gave up 448 million earned but unused vacation days in 2010. Considering the average wage of $39,208 for a full-time worker -- that's $67.5 billion worth of time.
But actually using those days may cost even more, noted Scott Spiker, CEO of First Command Financial Services, a financial service provider.
"Vacations tend to suck up money. They tempt people to spend more, save less and take on more debt. By forfeiting some of their vacation days, Americans are trying to eliminate the temptation to spend money," Spiker said.
Only 38% of Americans said that they take all of their vacation days, according to the Expedia survey, with most only using a small portion of the coveted benefit.
Some workers say their bosses are not very supportive of them using their vacation time, others simply can't swing it.
That's the case for Mike O'Neill, an energy policy analyst with mid-sized law firm in Washington, D.C. Part of O'Neill's responsibilities include writing a daily blog for the firm. "I'm the only person who does this so I do try to avoid being out of the office," he said.
On the heels of the Great Recession, unemployment remains high. "Headcount is so low, salaried employees are probably doing a job-and-a-half minimum, maybe two jobs, and they can't get away," noted Mickey Kampsen, president of MRINetwork's Management Recruiters of Charlottesville.
"They are trying to bring as much value as possible to their company in order to keep their job," she said. "You've got to show you are one of the loyal soldiers."
And even when Americans do take time off, a whopping 72% of workers said they check in with the office at least occasionally -- if not every day, according to a recent poll from Rasmussen Reports.

Three little girls bound onto the bed in the spare bedroom where we sleep, giggling and squealing and making tents with the covers. It has become part of the morning routine when we visit them in the old two-story house the family has been renting in New Jersey.
DeersAfter a riot of laughter, arms swinging and legs kicking, the one-and-a-half-year-old and one of the 3-year-old twins head downstairs with Grandpa. The other twin goes to the window overlooking a stretch of land bordered by a line of black locust, sumac, and elderberry. "Come on, Gramma. Let's watch."
She stands by the window and I kneel, waiting and watching. A few shafts of dawn wrap around the corner of the house and warm the woods. Motorists zip by on a two-lane highway cutting through the countryside. A doe and a fawn emerge from the trees.
"It's a momma and her baby," she whispers.
"It is."
A few moments later, a horse in an adjacent pasture clears his throat and stretches his vocal chords. The deers' right ears shoot straight up. The horse whinnies. The momma turns and the baby follows, bounding into the woods, their white tails waving farewell.
One morning when we looked out the window, deer were sleeping in the grass. They were curled up like dogs by a fire. We walked outside later and saw swaths of grass flattened in the yard and along the back tree line. Separated by a wall and maybe 20 yards, the deer had been sleeping while we had been sleeping.
One evening near dusk, I stood at the window alone when a peculiar thing happened. It appeared as though the tree trunks were swaying, gently moving from side to side. I wondered if it was an earthquake, the earth's crust moving, along with everything on it. The trees weren't moving, it was a herd of deer foraging in the woods. They so seamlessly blended with the bare trees, underbrush and dead leaves that you could barely separate the deer from the tree bark. One deer poked his head out of the tree line, grazed a bit and then signaled to the others. They took off single file, white tails bobbing behind them, 11 in all.
A little voice behind me said, "Where's your camera, Gramma?"
As unbelievable as moving trees, this young family is leaving New Jersey and moving home to the Midwest. They'll leave behind rustic views and deer, only to be greeted by a gaggle of grandmas and grandpas, great grandmas and great grandpas, aunts and uncles and cousins nearby.
Their memories of the deer and bucolic countryside may fade in time, but maybe not. It was a special gift, a never-to-be-repeated season of life, a time when big eyes brimmed with wonder.
They will settle in more populated terrain now, a neighborhood instead of the countryside. They will have different views, new memories in the making, and a lot more people to love and share them with.

Ideal Children:
The Childhood of Great Men and Women
Dimiter Angelov
The paper focuses on the idealized presentation of childhood in Byzantium: the childhood and upbringing of individuals of power such as emperors, empresses, generals, and patriarchs. The main source for the study is laudatory orations or panegyrics: a genre of rhetorical literature often featuring sections on childhood. The comparative examination of this body of literary evidence will be complemented by a look at saints' Lives of emperors, empresses, and patriarchs, where the subject of childhood is often treated. Special attention will be paid to the presentation of the childhood of the emperor Constantine the Great, a traditional model ruler in Byzantium, and to the development of the Constantine-legend in hagiography insofar as the origins and upbringing of the first Christian emperor are concerned. Evidence derived from historical works will, too, be considered as appropriate. Naturally, due to the distribution of the surviving evidence over time, great attention will be paid to images of childhood found in literary works composed between the eleventh and the fifteenth century. Yet the earlier period will not be ignored, and the paper will pose the question as to whether the ideal of childhood underwent any change in Byzantium over the centuries.

>>>final scores
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – Led by sophomore Pat Garrett (Kennesaw, Ga.) at one-under par, the No. 6 Georgia College & State University golf team took third at the Kiawah Island Invitational Tuesday. The Bobcats were consistent, firing 293 and 292 team scores for a nine-over finish.
Garrett blazed the course with a 70 today, the second-best round of the entire field on the par-72, 6,875-yard Cougar Point Golf Course. Paired with yesterday's 73, he was one-under, just two strokes out of the playoff for first place.
Senior Billy Shida (Berkeley Lakes, Ga.) finished sixth at even par, cutting two strokes off yesterday's 73 for a 144 finish. Classmate Matthew Yonz (Waycross, Ga.) followed up yesterday's 74 with a 75 for five-over in 26th.
Sophomore Taylor Smith (Mansfield, Ga.) dropped to 42nd with a 72-79=151, and junior Ryan Steelman (Milledgeville, Ga.) was 68th at 78-77=155.
The Bobcats finished three strokes behind champion Barton College, which posted a six-over 582. In second place at eight over was USC Beaufort.
Luiz Jacintho of Pfeffer University joined Barton's Daniel Claytor in a playoff after finishing the 36 holes at three-under, with Claytor taking the title on the fourth playoff hole.
The Bobcats are back in action Sept. 13-14 at the SpringHill Suites Intercollegiate, hosted by Francis Marion University.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House pressed Russia on Monday to exercise all options to expel Edward Snowden and slammed China for allowing the former U.S. spy agency contractor who disclosed government surveillance secrets to leave Hong Kong.
White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters it was the U.S. assumption that Snowden was still in Russia and he dismissed suggestions that the decision to allow Snowden to depart Hong Kong was a technical one.
"We are just not buying that this was a technical decision by a Hong Kong immigration official," Carney said.
"This was a deliberate choice by the government to release a fugitive despite a valid arrest warrant, and that decision unquestionably has a negative impact on the U.S.-China relationship," he said.
Snowden, who had worked at a U.S. National Security Agency facility in Hawaii, had been hiding in Hong Kong, a former British colony that returned to China in 1997, since leaking details about secret U.S. surveillance programs to news media.
He was allowed to leave Hong Kong on Sunday for Moscow. Julian Assange, the founder of anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks which is assisting Snowden, said the 30-year-old en route to Ecuador, where he hoped to gain asylum.
Carney said that U.S. officials had been in contact with Hong Kong authorities since June 10, urging them to honor Washington's request that he be arrested. Hong Kong acknowledged receipt of the U.S. request on June 17 and requested additional information about the U.S. charges and evidence on June 21, Carney said.
"The U.S. had been in communication about these inquiries and we were in the process of responding to the request when we learned that Hong Kong authorities have allowed the fugitive to leave," he said.
President Barack Obama referred detailed questions on the issue to the Justice Department.
"What we know is that we're following all the appropriate legal channels and working with various other countries to make sure the rule of law is observed," Obama told reporters at an unrelated event on immigration reform.
Carney noted that individuals with felony arrest warrants were subject to having their passports revoked.
He said he could not comment specifically on Snowden's passport for privacy reasons but said Hong Kong officials were advised of Snowden's travel document status in plenty of time to have prohibited his departure.
Carney, who in recent weeks has studiously avoided mentioning Snowden by name, let loose from the White House podium on Monday, criticizing the former contractor for the countries he had potentially chosen for refuge.
"Mr. Snowden's claim that he is focused on supporting transparency, freedom of the press and protection of individual rights and democracy is belied by the protectors he has potentially chosen - China, Russia, Ecuador, as we've seen," Carney said.
"His failures to criticize these regimes suggests that his true motive throughout has been to injure the national security of the United States, not to advance Internet freedom and free speech."

Mayor's Office
The public is invited to participate in "The Portrait of America Road Tour" when it stops at the Malone Center, 2032 "U" Street, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Friday, March 5. The tour is part of the largest civic outreach and awareness campaign in U.S. Census history to encourage all residents to complete and return their census forms in March.
"The Portrait of America Road Tour provides an exciting, once-in-a-decade opportunity to all residents of the United States to learn about one of the cornerstones of our democracy," said Census Regional Director Cathy Lacy. "This interactive experience will demonstrate how everyone can use the Census form as their voice to let the country know what their community's needs are for the next ten years."
Census data are used to apportion seats in Congress and directly affect how more than $400 billion per year in federal funding is distributed to state, local and tribal governments. Information shared with the Census Bureau is completely confidential. By law, the Census Bureau cannot share respondents' answers with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement entities.
Census forms will be mailed in March, and households are asked to complete and mail back their forms upon receipt. Census workers will visit households that do not return forms to take a count in person.
The City of Lincoln has partnered with the U.S. Census Bureau to form a Complete Count Committee as part of a larger effort by Census officials in Lincoln and Lancaster County to increase participation in the 2010 Census. The Committee is focusing on reaching those population that have traditionally been undercounted.
More information about the 2010 Census is available at 2010census.gov.

LOS ANGELES - The future of a film about ancient Jewish warrior Judah Maccabee may be close to flickering out.
Warner Bros. spokesman Paul McGuire said Friday that the studio is "analyzing what to do with the project."
The film about the biblical hero was to be a collaboration between producer Mel Gibson and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas. After the studio recently rejected Eszterhas' script, the screenwriter accused Gibson of anti-Semitism in a letter published online. Gibson responded with his own letter denying the allegations.
In 2006, Gibson was arrested for drunken driving. A leaked arrest report revealed he used anti-Semitic and sexist slurs.
The Eszterhas allegations and Gibson's history prompted Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center to issue a statement Thursday calling for Warner Bros. and all other studios "to permanently shelve the Maccabee project as long as Mel Gibson is associated with the film."
The Maccabees' unlikely victory over those who would repress Jewish religious freedoms is celebrated on Chanukah, the Jewish festival of light.

American war resister considering deportation appeal
U.S. War Resister Kimberly Rivera speaks at a press conference in Toronto on Friday, Aug. 31, 2012. (Aaron Vincent Elkaim / THE CANADIAN PRESS)

TORONTO -- An American soldier who fled to Canada after she became disillusioned with the Iraq war is weighing her legal options after a ruling that would have her deported to the U.S.
"My biggest fear is being separated from my children and having to sit in a prison for politically being against the war in Iraq," Kimberly Rivera told a news conference Friday.
Rivera was joined by a number of groups, including the War Resisters Support Campaign, Amnesty International and the Canadian Labour Congress, who urged Immigration Minister Jason Kenney to let Rivera, her husband and their four children stay in Canada.
Rivera's lawyer Alyssa Manning said her client is considering appealing the ruling on her pre-removal risk assessment, which has ordered that she leave Canada by Sept. 20.
Manning said federal officials failed to consider the fact that Rivera has been outspoken about her opposition to the Iraq war when they evaluated her assessment.
Although the majority of those who flee the U.S. military are not jailed, the small percentage of soldiers who get sent to prison are those who are outspoken about their beliefs, said Manning.
"The risk that Kim faces as a public critic of the Iraq war has not been considered properly," said Manning.
"We have spoken with the command at Fort Carson and they have explained to the Rivera family that they have every intention of detaining and then prosecuting (Rivera) upon her return."
Manning said she expects Rivera would be sent to jail for two to five years.
But a spokeswoman for Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said the federal government does not believe the U.S. subjects its soldiers to persecution.
"Military deserters from the United States are not genuine refugees under the internationally accepted meaning of the term," said Alexis Pavlich, the minister's press secretary, in an email.
"These unfounded claims clog up our system for genuine refugees who are actually fleeing persecution."
Rivera is also considering asking the government to delay her deportation while her humanitarian and compassionate grounds application is still being weighed, said Manning.
"That application raises concerns such as the best interests of the four minor Rivera children," said Manning.
Rivera, who lives in Toronto with her family, came to Canada in 2007 to avoid further military service. She had initially arrived while on leave but then applied for refugee status.
Rivera said she grew to oppose the Iraq war while she was taking part in it, and even stopped carrying her rifle with her.
"I got in trouble for not carrying my rifle, so then I just secretly stopped carrying my ammunition," said Rivera.
The War Resisters Support Campaign said two other Iraq war resisters who were deported, Robin Long and Clifford Cornell, faced year-long jail sentences upon their return.

No, that's why they should have won the leg, because then it would be hilarious that they got eliminated solely because it would have gotten rid of the season's gimmick.
I hope they'll be back in next All-Stars

Last year I blogged about 497 being the IT number of the beast.
Why 497?
Because if a product uses a 32 bit counter to record uptime, and that counter records a tick every 10 msec, then that 32-bit counter will overflow after approximately 497.1 days. This is because a 32 bit counter equates to 2^32, which equals 4,294,967,296 ticks. If a tick is counted every 10 msec, we create 8,640,000 ticks per day (100*60*60*24). So after 497.102696 days, the counter will overflow. What happens next depends on good programming: normally the counter just starts again, but worst case a function might stop working or the product might even reboot.
Fortunately we are seeing less and less of these issues but just occasionally one still slips out. Recently IBM released details of a 994 day reboot bug in the ESM code of some of their older disk enclosures (EXP100, EXP700 and EXP710). Details about this bug can be found here. What I find interesting is the number of days it takes to occur, since 994 is actually 497 times two. This suggests that this product records a tick every 20 msec. This meant we got past 497 days without an issue but hit a problem after exactly double that number. So if you still have these older storage enclosures, you will need to reboot the ESMs (after checking the alert).
I googled 497 to see what images that number brings up and was amazed to find the M-497 jet powered train. More details on this rather interesting attempt at speeding up the commute home can be found here and here. It adds a whole new meaning to keeping behind the yellow line.

Let $(a_n)_{n\in \mathbb N}$ be a sequence of real numbers with $a_n\ge0$ for all $n\in\mathbb N$ and suppose $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ converges. Show that if $(b_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ is any bounded sequence of real numbers, then $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n b_n$ converges absolutely.
The Monotone Convergence Theorem is an obvious choice here. I think I can see the sequence of partial sums is bounded, but how would I show that the it is monotonically increase or decreasing without anymore information on $(b_n)$? Should I divide it into cases?
