Chase Headley is doing a lot of damage at the plate recently. He's also hurting the Arizona Diamondbacks' playoff chances.
The Diamondbacks will try to snap a seven-game skid against the Padres on Saturday night when the teams continue their three-game series at Petco Park.
While Arizona has significant ground to make up in both the NL West and wild-card race, it created some momentum for itself earlier this week after taking two of three from division-leading San Francisco.
However, the Diamondbacks (68-71) continue to come up short against the Padres, losing 6-5 Friday. Headley drove in four runs on two homers, including a tiebreaking solo shot to lead off the eighth as Arizona dropped 10 1/2 games behind the Giants again.
The Diamondbacks are 4-9 against the Padres, but 23-16 against the rest of the division. They've been outscored 48-25 during a seven-game skid in the series.
"It seems like things happen every time we play them," said rookie starter Tyler Skaggs, who allowed five runs in three innings.
Like most of the NL, the Diamondbacks haven't found the answer to Headley, who is hitting .357 (10 for 28) with 10 RBIs during his team's winning streak against Arizona.
The Diamondbacks are in good company, however. Headley is hitting .361 with seven home runs over the last 20 games and is 17 for 42 (.405) in his past nine with four homers.
"Headley's on fire," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "We know that. You just have to make good pitches. If you don't make good pitches, he's going to pound you like he did tonight."
In large part because of Headley, San Diego (65-74) has won three straight and 13 of 17. It has also won 17 of 22 at home.
The Padres will try to keep things going against Wade Miley (14-9, 2.90 ERA), who has a 2.28 ERA over his last four starts.
Miley went 6 2-3 innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, allowing three runs and nine hits in the 5-4 loss. He was in line for the win before closer J.J. Putz gave up two runs in the ninth.
The left-hander had one of his worst starts of the season against the Padres on June 1, yielding four runs in 7 1-3 innings of a 7-1 defeat. Miley has given up more than three earned runs only five times in 24 starts.
He'll be opposed by Casey Kelly (1-0, 3.86), who will make his third start for the Padres.
After going six scoreless innings in his major league debut against Atlanta on Aug. 27, the 22-year-old right-hander allowed seven runs - five earned - in 5 2-3 innings of an 11-10 loss at Colorado on Sunday.
All seven runs came in the third inning, when he faced 11 batters. San Diego manager Bud Black said he was pleased with how the rookie settled down after that.
"That says a lot about Casey," he told the Padres' official website. "He wasn't rattled. He kept battling. He just went out there and kept pitching."

With Week 5 just around the corner, it is time for fantasy owners to start tweaking their rosters. This week provides plenty of conundrums at every position, so here's a quick snapshot of who to start and who to sit.
Steven Ridley- A year ago, Stevan Ridley was the feature back for the New England Patriots. Today, he's barely a part of a 3-headed running back by committee which includes LeGarrette Blount and Brandon Bolden. Ridley had his best game this season against the Atlanta Falcons last week, rushing for 53 yards. He also hauled in two receptions for 26 yards. With all of the running back troubles the Patriots have been facing of late, none of the Patriots running backs hold too much fantasy value.
Jay Cutler- The Chicago Bears are coming off their first loss of the season against the Detroit Lions during Week 4. Jay Cutler, who had been playing very well through the first three weeks, threw three interceptions and lost a fumble for a touchdown. His matchup in Week 5 does not look much better as he takes on the New Orleans Saints who possess the fifth best pass defense in the league.
DeMarco Murray- The Dallas Cowboys will take on the daunting task of hosting the Denver Broncos during Week 5. Unfortunately for DeMarco Murray, not only do they possess the top offense in the league, they also have the best rush defense in the league, allowing only an average of 74 yards per game. If you can afford to put Murray on your bench, do so.
Matt Stafford- The potent Detroit Lions passing attack will face the much weaker Green Bay Packers pass defense. Stafford has already thrown for 1,262 for 7 touchdowns. The Packers secondary has given up an average of 311 yards through the air and only intercepted two passes. Expect Stafford and Calvin Johnson to light up the Green Packers defense.
Giovani Bernard- The Cincinnati Bengals will take on the undefeated New England Patriots this week. What was a formidable rush defense for the Patriots took a serious blow when they lost defensive tackle Vince Wilfork to an Achilles injury last week. Expect the rookie Bernard to have a solid game on the ground with Wilfork out.
Eddie Lacy- Green Bay Packers rookie running back Eddie Lacy returns from a concussion this week against the Detroit Lions. With the Green Bay backfield very beat up, expect Lacy to easily regain his starting role. Furthermore the Lions defense has allowed just over 110 yards a game on the ground this season. Eddie Lacy is a solid start this week coming off an injury.

What I needed, but drives like a tank
By glennd8601 on
Vehicle2007 Ford Econoline Wagon E-350 SD XL 3dr Van (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
ReviewWe have 6 kids so this is what my family needed. I have owned this van for 2 full years. It drives like a tank, guzzles gas at an astronomical rate, and is hard to park...it has the turning radius of a Boeing 747.
We call it "the ark".
That said, it does exactly what I purchased it for---it carries lots of passengers and cargo.
It has lots of power and you are sitting up very high, so the view of the road is excellent.
THe 2 problems we have had is all 4 headlights and tailights all fogged up with moisture and had to be replaced and also the blinker would not turn off-happened after warranty and blinker assmbly had to be replaced- cost me $320.
Best FeaturesCarries many passengers and sits up high.

I play the game WordFeud with an old friend every day. I always await my turn with nervous anticipation. He's been known to fire back a couple 64pt words, despite my username being "TheVictoriousOne". Two letter words are the way to go, I've learned. Qi, Ka, and even Aa have saved me. One game, I landed "xi" on a triple letter word, both vertically and horizontally. I was most proud. But until today, I never knew what "xi" meant. Turns out it's the 14th letter in the Greek alphabet. Cool. Ya learn something new every day. Happy X Day, all my A-Zers!

GPS Trackers on display at Expo Seguridad Mexico.
It was another successful exhibition for Meitrack Group in Mexico. Every year the number of people who stop by grows even more, and this year was no exception as it was one of the highest turnouts yet. People were really interested in the new 3G ready GPS trackers, specially the new MT90 3G. This new tracker can access 3G speeds and reliability that few personal GPS trackers have. Many people stopped by and asked about the GPS accessories which can be easily attached to Meitrack GPS trackers. These accessories bring the user enhanced reports and alerts, that are used to analytical purposes. If you attach a fuel sensor or temperature sensor you will be able to receive information, directly and in real time. Meitrack GPS trackers also can work with some 3rd party tracking platforms, so it makes it versatile if a company has their own tracking server.
This is the sixth year that Meitrack is an exhibitor in Mexico. GPS trackers are excellent due to the numerous freight, commercial and personal necessities that arise. On another note, Meitrack Group will also venture into M2M technology this upcoming year. Researchers are hard at work developing new products that will bring new innovations to this growing industry. Meitrack Group will be down in Mexico once more, this time with notices of further development of M2M technology.
Mexico has many reputable companies that require security in logistics. This is one of the main reasons why Mexico is such an important part of the tracking industry. One of the reasons why Meitrack is a sought out brand is because its reliability and accessibility to suit many custom needs for various companies. Keep up to date as Meitrack Group brings more information about upcoming expos in Latin America. Information about local prices and official resellers and distributors please see www.meitrackusa.com

Music before Internet Radio
Here's how I got here. I was two months shy of my eighteenth birthday when I got my first radio job at KKOP-FM in Redondo Beach, CA in May of 1968. A tumultuous year, to say the least. Less than a month later, I turned on the microphone for the first time and nervously announced to the Los Angeles area that Robert Kennedy had been shot at the Ambassador Hotel. Before I left for the night, I had the foresight to get a copy of the Robert Kennedy For President 1968 commercial the station was playing. That got me started on collecting radio commercials. Then it was records. (78's, 45's, 331/3 long playing albums and CD's) Now, forty plus years later, and many radio stations since, I have a place to share my collection with the world! I have collected so much that I will be adding more sounds of the 20th century regularly. Playing 100 years of hits. I hope you enjoy it. Steve Michaels

I bought this mouse a couple months ago for use with my Samsung Series 7 Slate. I was originally looking for a Bluetooth mouse so I wouldn't need to plug in a receiver, but I couldn't find one that looked like a good option. I want something a little smaller than standard, with a power switch and ideally I'd like it to match the devices I use it with. I finally tried the Logitech M325 with a Unifying Receiver.
The unifying receiver is small and works well. I've had no trouble with it and can leave it in my S7S unless I need to use the one USB port for something else. It almost never comes up, but is a minor annoyance. On the other hand, when I remove the receiver, I can use pen or touch input temporarily. I have found an advantage to using the receiver. If I decide to use my laptop or my wife's laptop and need a mouse, I can just move the receiver from my S7S or my desktop PC and use the devices that are already paired with it. The pairing follows the receiver, not the computer. I use a Logitech keyboard and mouse with a Unifying receiver on my gaming system at home since it's attached to my television. Sometimes I borrow the mouse to use with a laptop by just moving the receiver. I don't generally use that mouse for shooters though. I'll write up my gaming setup in a future article.
I haven't had to change the battery yet, and there is a power switch to turn off the mouse so it doesn't keep waking my tablet every time my bag moves. The mouse uses a standard AA battery and the battery compartment has a slot for storing the receiver so you don't lose it if you need to keep it out of your tablet or laptop for a while.
It works on every surface for me so far, but not well on glass. When on glass the mouse pointer still moves, just sluggishly. Using a piece of paper or a notebook fixes this. Otherwise, I've had no trouble using the mouse on the train, on a couch, at a desk, or in bed. It's never bounced off the table or even moved on its own much when on the train. I use a mouse on the train because it can be difficult to touch the screen accurately when you and the table are bouncing around. I don't have nearly as many misses with the mouse.
The mouse is a little smaller than standard, but that's what I want for a travel mouse. The mouse wheel is the smooth scrolling type, being a gamer I prefer the clicky type. I don't use this mouse for serious gaming, so it isn't a deal breaker. The mouse wheel can also be pressed left or right although I don't use these presses. The only thing that might make me trade in this mouse is how loud the button clicks are. If I'm on the train and using the mouse a lot (maybe playing a little Faster Than Light, maybe) I probably annoy the nearby passengers a bit with the constant clicks.
Most importantly, the mouse just works. Every time I turn on the switch it makes an instant connection to my tablet. I never have to mess with drivers or reboot, or turn it off and on. It just connects and goes. If something happened to my Logitech M325, I would have no problems replacing it with an identical mouse. You can find these as low as $15 on Amazon.

VOA Tibetan, November 4, 2011
A Tibetan exile set himself on fire outside the Chinese embassy in New Delhi on Friday, the latest in a series of self-immolation protests against China.
Police in the Indian capital overpowered 25-year-old Sherab TseDor and extinguished the flames. He was hospitalized with minor burns.
Before his protest, TseDor issued a statement calling for an end to a Chinese crackdown in Tibet. He called on India and other nations to support the Tibetan people's bid for freedom from China.
In southwest China, at least 11 ethnic Tibetans have set themselves on fire in recent months, demanding greater religious and cultural freedom and the return of the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. At least six of the protesters, including Buddhist nuns, have died.

Our buddy Rich runs Elephant, one of the best restaurants in the Hudson Valley, down the road in Kingston. If you live at all nearby and haven't been yet, go. One of our favorites there, which is mercifully always on the menu, is his plate of three little lamb sliders. The strong flavor of lamb makes a superlative burger, and the small size of a slider somehow seems to concentrate it further. I don't eat his often enough, and I don't make them at home often enough. Now I confess at the outset that I did not bake fluffy little rolls for these. But that really didn't diminish the pleasure of eating them one bit.
I seasoned some ground lamb with salt, pepper, wild garlic, and smoked paprika, and formed little patties. As far as toppings go, I poked around to see what might work. The carrot-cabbage pickle was a given, since I love any kind of pickles on a burger but I didn't want to deal with decanting the new batch of kimchi from the big crock. And I had a half gallon of whey lurking in the fridge, so I pulled it out, added maybe a cup of cream left from the last batch of milk, and made quick ricotta with it. It's super-easy; heat the whey to about 200˚, add some lemon juice or vinegar, stir for a minute, and ladle the liquid through butter muslin or similarly fine cloth. Let it hang while you make dinner–saving the liquid for cooking, baking, etc.–then (in this case) flavor with salt, wild garlic greens, truffle oil, and Espelette pepper. It's so fluffy and creamy and sensually pleasurable that it takes a real force of will not to eat it all with a spoon right then and there and pretend you never made it at all and here's some ketchup.
To make the substrate match the burgers, I stamped circles out of some decent multi-grain bread (not homemade, I am chastened to admit, but it's the first loaf we've bought in a month, I swear) and grilled them gently in the burger pan after I poured off the extra fat. It's not wasteful; all those scraps will make great croutons. So: burgers on toast with fluffy, truffley ricotta and crunchy tangy pink pickles and good mustard on the top toast. The only thing wrong with these was that there weren't very many more of them. This local lamb is so lamby and tender and good to eat; I'm really excited to work my way through it with all of the green goodness that's coming up all over.
And to drink, the first rosé of the season. It was lovely and sunny and warm today, without the cold breeze that embellished yesterday's labor, so I was feeling very vernal on my trip to the wine store. An $11 bottle of 2010 Château Lamargue "Les Grandes Cabanes" (Syrah/Grenache) had everything that a good bottle of pink from Southern France is supposed to, with complementary fruit and structure, minerals and herbs, and acidity enough to make the mouth water even more than the smell of that heavenly lamb already was.

I was out of town, working for several days at a remote hospital. It was about an hour after I finished work. The day was typical, busy but manageable. I was in a very good place in my life. I was about 6 months into my part-time experiment, and well through my recovery from burnout. My cellphone rang and after a moment or two I realized this would be a call that changed my life forever.
My wife was on the other end of the call and she was clearly upset. Through the sobs, I learned our close friend just died from suicide. Unknown to us, he had been struggling with severe depression for months, and this day was the day that his will to live was finally broken.
Like many men, I'm not particularly good at dealing with uncomfortable emotional situations, and this event hit my psyche hard. When I first learned of the suicide I felt almost nothing but numbness. I assume this was my mind's defense mechanism against a terrible reality it wasn't yet ready to process.
My friend was a physician. We went to medical school together. We were similar in age and at similar stages of our careers. I went through a period of severe burnout several years before this and came out the other side healthier and more focused. My friend went through a severe bout of depression and it cost him his life. My only memories of him were happy ones, and it was hard to even imagine him depressed. I don't know how much of his depression was induced by the stress of his career as a physician, and I don't know what triggered this change in him. We will never have these answers, but why did we take so similar a path and have such different outcomes? The answer to this question still haunts me.
That night I went out for a quiet dinner alone and scoured the internet for answers about suicide, specifically physician suicide. What I found was not comforting. I learned that the suicide rate was shockingly high amongst physicians; and it seemed there were few people studying the problem or looking for solutions. The loudest voice seemed to be a random family practice doctor who was blogging, writing articles and running a rogue suicide prevention hotline in her spare time between seeing patients.
This didn't seem quite right. Where was the outrage? Who was doing the studies, and starting the intervention programs? Over the next several weeks, then months I continued to read and research. I learned a lot, but I could not shake this feeling that there was some deeper truth waiting to be discovered.
It took a year or more before I was able to really feel the amalgam of emotions; deep sadness, anger and disappointment that should have been there from day one. It took me several months longer to develop the emotional strength to have a conversation with my friend's widow, a truly wonderful person although someone I knew less well than my friend.
We all learn in different ways, and one way I synthesize information is to actually have a conversation and hear myself talk, working out ideas that have been simmering in my head since the suicide. My conversation with her was part of my healing and understanding, but it brought me no closer to my real question.
Why is the suicide rate so high?
The suicide rate for physicians is about twice as high as the general population. Some researchers think it may actually be even higher, as some physician suicide deaths are incorrectly classified as accidents. These are only estimates as good data is difficult to obtain, but in any event the rate is unnaturally high.
There are two basic possibilities I see for this massive increase in suicide among physicians:
- Either the self-selecting physician population is somehow fundamentally psychologically different from the general population or
- There is something about becoming or being a physician that predisposes to suicide.
I can't accept that the physician population is so different that it would account for such an increase based on self-selection alone. There is simply no good evidence for this that I have been able to find. There must be something about becoming or being a physician that causes suicide.
Burnout rates for physicians are incredibly high, greater than 50% by most estimates. From my boots-on-the-ground observations I think it is probably closer to 80-90%. Many recover, a few permanently burn-out, and some drift in and out. Burnout and depression are not the same, but they are closely linked. They are comorbidities.
Most people feel that burnout and/or depression are responsible for this increase suicide rate, and this is probably true. It is also likely that physicians self-treat or choose not to treat for fear of adverse reaction from their employer or their state medical board. I think some of this fear is justified. But it just doesn't seem like this should double the suicide rate. Burnout is high in many professions without a huge increase in suicide. I don't buy it. There is something else going on.
Suicide is a complex topic. I'm not sure we fully understand what happens to the mind in suicide, but at the end of the day it results from all of our protective coping mechanisms failing. We seek to survive above all else. This is the root code of our operating system. It is embedded in our DNA and in our spirit. When the pain and hopelessness is too great for a person to bear we are vulnerable. Something breaks within our mind and suicide becomes a possible outcome. Why do physicians break?
Identity and ego
Being a physician is unique in many ways. Every profession has its own challenges of course, but I think physicians are in a perfect storm for becoming suicidal. Our work is stressful. We are often sleep deprived. Our training programs can be malignant and abusive. Treatment for mental health is stigmatized in our society. The emotional toll of seeing sickness and death day in and day out can overwhelm our emotional ability to process. We have higher rates of burnout and depression than average.
These are well known and much discussed, but what I seldom see discussed is the issue of identity. We are not simply a person who practices medicine, we actually become a doctor. It never leaves us. Instead of doing something we are something. This is underappreciated by many who discuss the causes for burnout and physician suicide.
Medical school and residency are at least 7 years of post-college training, and more likely 10 or more years for those that specialize or do additional fellowships. This is not 40 hours per week of easy shift work training. It is a life which consumes you. Days, nights, weekends, you are always thinking about it. It saturates your being.
The primary stress of medical school is the intense pressure to learn an impossible amount of information. In residency it is about working an insane amount of hours that would probably be classified as torture by most human rights groups. You must somehow function in this state of chronic sleep deprivation, and you are responsible for thousands of human lives over these years. Life and death decisions become routine. The only rational way to deal with this is to develop some sort of emotional detachment as a defense mechanism.
Ironically though, as your mind fights to stay alive and detach, being a physician becomes your identity. It becomes a part of your psyche in a way that being an accountant or office manager usually does not. As you slog through the trenches with a fire hose of information to assimilate and call shifts that cause perception of time to melt away, you become a physician. It is like a symbiotic being living in your body that will always be there.
Acting the part of a doctor day in and day out changes how you perceive and interact with the world in a way that I doubt is as intense as most professions. I have had many jobs including grocery bagger, busboy, waiter, door-to-door salesman and lab technician. Never did any of these jobs become my identity. As soon as my shift was over I became myself with no thoughts as to what I did to trade my time for money. As soon as my workday was over I was just me again.
Becoming a physician changed that. The lines between me and the physician me were blurred. Eventually I reached a point where I could never really fully detach.
Life calling
It is always assumed that people become physicians because it is their life calling. They want to be a healer. There is this almost mystical narrative that somehow the universe just calls to you and you step forward to fight the battle against sickness and disease.
It is assumed that this situation is permanent. It is assumed that no one ever makes a mistake selecting this career. This is a calling and your destiny and it is not questioned. The narrative has an almost religious feel to it at times.
What happens when docs start hitting maximum burnout a decade into their careers?
What happens when the subconscious looks for a way out when they realize they may have made a mistake.
What happens when they don't want to be a doctor anymore?
What happens when what was exciting and new 10 years ago is now tedious and draining?
What happens when you realize it is not your life calling but just a career that you may or may not be suited to?
What happens when you realize that at best you are not happy and outright miserable at worst?
We all fail at many things in life. Some are big things, some are little things. It is natural to fail. It is healthy to fail. But there is a big difference between failing at something and being a failure. This may seem like a small distinction, but it is the difference between feeling a little disappointed and the wholesale destruction of our ego. When we are a failure we introduce shame into the equation, and this is one of the most destructive emotions there is.
When we fail at something we can quit and do something else. When we are the failure the only path to redemption is to succeed at it. But sometimes success is not possible, and when this is true we are creating a scenario where we literally cannot win. The mind does not do well in this situation.
I think that for some, this deep sense of shame and assault on the ego results in the destruction of that firewall that protects us. As our last defense falls we are vulnerable. The unthinkable becomes the rational. We point to an external event that seems to be the breaking point, but this internal shame is often invisible. We can't diagnose what is unseen.
Disengaging our ego from our job may be the most important thing we can do for our well-being. If you are struggling with these issues take a deep look within yourself and ask the honest question: Do you believe you are a failure?
If the answer to this question is yes, you need to reframe your thinking. This is a hair on fire emergency. You are not a failure. There is no such thing. You can and will fail, but you are not a failure. You can feel disappointment or even guilt. These things may be healthy at times, but shame is never healthy. Becoming the failure is always toxic. When we feel intense shame we cannot heal.
I will have more to say on this topic in the future, but for now ponder these issues. Please share any of your personal observations with career, identity and ego even if you are not a physician.

The White House announced on Friday that U.S. President Barack Obama will not be presenting an American initiative for peace in the Middle East during his speech in Cairo on June 4, Israel Radio reported.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that Obama's speech would address Washington's relationship with Muslims worldwide.
"This will be a broader speech about our relationship with Muslims around the world," said Gibbs at the daily press briefing. "I know there has been some conjecture that included in this speech will be some detailed comprehensive Mideast peace plan, and that is not the intention nor was it ever the intention of this speech." Gibbs noted that Obama could not address the Muslim world without referring to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but added that the speech would not focus on it.
When asked about Obama's stance on Jerusalem, Gibbs said, "Those are final status issues that the parties themselves have agreed to work out in whatever negotiation would be had. That's not something for the President to intone."
Following Obama's meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, various media reports had speculated that Obama would unveil a new U.S. initiative for achieving peace in the Middle East as part of his upcoming speech meant to improve relations with the Muslim world.
American officials earlier this week had said that the U.S. expects Israel to make concrete concessions to the Palestinians before Obama's visit to Cairo.
Israeli security forces on Thursday morning evacuated the West Bank settlement outpost of Maoz Esther, in an apparent nod to diplomatic pressure exerted by the Obama administration.
Security forces hauled away seven metal containers converted to cabins during the evacuation. Several youths were at the camp but there was no violence, said police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld.
Obama and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have both stressed that achieving peace in the Middle East would be a top priority for their administration. Both have stressed that they are committed to a two-state solution, with Israeli and Palestinian states living side by side.

Airwheel electric self-balancing scooter is seen as a guardian of protecting the current environment. It uses the electricity as its main energy which is a king of clean energy. In operation, Airwheel intelligent self-balancing scooter produces no emission into the air. To delve into the reason why Airwheel opts for the electricity as its main energy, it is necessary to get an idea about the nature and current status of the electricity. The application of the electricity is comparatively full-fledged. It gains a widespread currency. The availability of the electricity keeps is popular with many industries.
The electricity can be easily stored in the battery. Airwheel adopts the Sony-made battery group, which offers a strong thrust and a long range on a full charge. A full charge merely costs 2 to 3 hours. Therefore, it is the very reason to believe that the electricity is the ideal energy, at least for the time being. However, it is firmly believed that Airwheel will not be satisfied with the electricity.
After all, the battery group weighs a lot and takes up a considerable amount of room. If there is an alternative to the electricity, Airwheel will change it to the renewed energy as long as it is clean and takes up less room. Of course, there are other choices for Airwheel self balancing electric scooter.
The solar energy is an alternative to the electricity. Airwheel has been giving a careful thought to it. Firstly, it is a clean energy and produces no emission into the air like the electricity. The solar panel can trap the energy from the sunlight and takes up less room. These advantages are what Airwheel badly wants. However, there are some drawbacks that keep it out of wide use. It is more than subject to the weather. In the cloudy or rainy, it is impossible to trap sunlight. Therefore there is a long way for the solar energy to go before Airwheel intelligent self-balancing scooter widely uses it.

Resume writing and career advice
job search tips/workplace trends
Featuring career experts, recruiters, hiring managers and decision makers who help you get hired
Since every executive assistant position is a little different, there's no canned answer for "must-haves."
That said, don't make the assumption that the reader knows what you did in your executive assistant role, says Twin Cities HR expert Arlene Vernon (www.arlenevernon.com). List the gate-keeping, scheduling, travel, meeting planning, reporting, budget, accounting and human resource functions that you provided in great detail with wonderful verbs showing the power of your work.
And you can quantify, says Vernon. What was the budget of your meeting planning? How many travel arrangements did you make to how many cities and countries for how many people?
"Just because the quantified results aren't sales figures, it doesn't mean that you can't present them in a way that shows their depth," says Vernon.
You cover letter is a must if you're an executive assistant, adds Vernon. Really sell the relationship you had with your executives. Discuss how you relieved that person of the day-to-day worry, how you had everything lined up for every meeting and event.
"My favorite executive assistant word is "mind-reader" but I'm sure you can create other similar descriptors to show how you stood apart," says Vernon. "I would also research other people's resumes from across the Internet. Chances are that someone has already described what you've done. Don't copy their resume – that's not my point and is a poor idea on a variety of fronts – but look for those power phrases and see how you can tweak them to your situation to sell yourself."
The stereotypical person in a support role may not be as comfortable selling their expertise, skills, and talents. To land the job, acknowledge your personal and professional power and speak of it confidently in your resume and cover letter, as well as in your interview.
"Now's not the time to hesitate or downplay your strengths," says Vernon. "Acknowledge and sell your capability and why every executive needs you by his or her side."

* Says policymakers should tap fiscal, not monetary brakes
* Says strong Canadian dollar hurts industry, exporters
* Reiterates cautious approach to U.S. acquisitions (In U.S. dollars unless noted)
By Andrea Hopkins
TORONTO, March 25 (Reuters) - Toronto-Dominion Bank's (TD.TO) chief executive on Thursday urged Canadian policymakers to use fiscal measures rather than interest rate increases to slow the economy, warning that higher rates could damage the recovery.
The comments by Ed Clark, who heads Canada's second-largest bank, come a day after Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney hinted in a speech that the central bank may raise rates sooner than expected to counter inflation fears.
Speaking to reporters after TD's annual meeting in Quebec City, Clark said he was concerned that the Canadian dollar, which has approached parity with its U.S. counterpart, is rising so high that it may hurt domestic industry.
"I definitely worry. I think we shouldn't tilt policy to make that problem worse, that's for sure. And that's what I would favor, if you need to put the brakes on the Canadian economy, I'd put them on the fiscal side, not on the monetary side, so you're not impacting the exchange rate," Clark said.
"My preference would be that we move faster to get the deficit down if we decided that we had to do something to slow the economy down," Clark said.
Any move by the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates would likely boost the attractiveness of the Canadian dollar because U.S. policymakers are not yet ready to start tightening monetary policy there. The U.S. economy has lagged Canada's recovery.
"I agree with the concern that the exchange rate in the long run, if it gets above what we think the long-run equilibrium is -- and I don't think most people think it is at par today -- that that's bad for Canadian industry in the long run and it's bad for Canadian exporters," Clark said.
TD Bank has a big personal and commercial banking operation in the United States and has said it would like to expand its market share from the Northeast down the U.S. East Coast.
Clark reiterated on Thursday that TD is interested in U.S. acquisitions of banks with assets under $10 billion, or FDIC-assisted deals, to build its presence south of the border, but he said he remains cautious about expansion because the U.S. economic recovery is still fragile.
"We believe we can analyze a book of that size ($10 billion) and come to our own view of what the catastrophe risk would be in doing that, so we don't need FDIC insurance because if we were wrong the amount in which we were wrong would not materially impact TD," Clark said.
"We're really right now not anxious to do anything bigger than that until we get a little more clarity about where the U.S. economy is going. And thankfully nothing has come our way that people are knocking down our doors saying 'We want to sell you the bank.'"
TD's other option for expansion is to take part in deals assisted by the regulator, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. FDIC deals offer greater risk certainty because acquiring banks can pick up deposits at relatively low or zero premiums and also be shielded from toxic assets.
But Clark noted that most FDIC deals are not popping up in TD's regional footprint in the Northeast, but rather are concentrated in the markets that were hottest just before the financial crisis -- the U.S. Sunbelt and Northwest.
"We definitely look and say well, could we extend our franchise at economic prices ... and the answer is yeah, I think there might be (opportunities there). But as it happens, lots of other banks have seen that too, so it's a pretty competitive environment, so whether we'll be successful or not we (don't know)," Clark said.
"Right now we're focused on going down the East coast."

Hi !
I need to compile several modules from a kernel 2.6.27 against a debian lenny kernel 2.6.26.
Maybe it may seem complicated but I can't compile a kernel 2.6.27 directly because I need a kernel with xen functionalities and the latest stable xen kernel release is 2.6.18. Debian provides a kenel 2.6.26 so I want to build this modules against this kernel.
Thanks, Alberto

Isner Gets Lucky Break in Marathon Match
John Isner can't seem to win quickly.
Though Wednesday's match pales in comparison to the record 11-hour, five-minute epic against Nicolas Mahut at Wimbledon in 2010, the American still needed four hours and 41 minutes to squeeze out a 4-6, 6-3, 2-6, 7-6(5), 10-8 victory against David Nalbandian.
Isner's competition was stiffer than in other men's matches in the tournament's first week, but fellow top-20 players Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and David Ferrer all recorded straight-set wins Tuesday in less than one hour and 45 minutes. Sixteenth-seed Isner admitted he got lucky on break point at eight games each: His serve was called out by the line umpire but was overruled by chair umpire Kader Nouni.
After checking the mark, Nalbandian challenged the call, but was told his request took too long.

Congratulations again to Crystal Johnson, winner of the Motionless In White contest. Listen to her insights, process, and experiences with the contest.
"I am finally able to speak about this! Over the last couple months I have been working in collaboration with Motionless In White and Roadrunner Records on MIW's new #GRAVEYARDSHIFT album, and the packaging. I am so very tearful (in a good way!) as I am writing this. It comes so deep from my heart! I am so grateful to MIW, RR, CA and my friends and family for their undying support. I am really blessed to have had you all in my life!
It all started on a whim that I entered a contest via Creative Allies for the band's album cover with my son's photo. I went in to this with no expectations of winning. I had entered hundreds of contests over the years, and never really had a big break. It can be daunting, but that is the world we live in when it comes to being an artist!" – Crystal Johnson

Miles Halter's whole life has been one big non-event, until he meets Alaska Young.
Gorgeous, clever and undoubtedly screwed up, Alaska draws Miles into her reckless world and irrevocable steals his heart. For Miles, nothing can ever be the same again.
I love the transformation of Miles Halter in this story, from the invisible kid to one who wants to be something in someone else's world. I guess you can't really say for sure how your future life will really be like. Anyone can be meeting their room mates naked for the first time like how Miles did in meeting Chip Martin. Maybe not naked, but you get my point.
To be honest with you, throughout the story, I was totally rooting for a possibility between the beautiful wreck Alaska Young and Miles. Even if she was so madly in love with her boyfriend. I remember telling myself "Ok, that percentage is totally over" when he asked Lara Buterskaya to be his girlfriend. You could imagine that crazy happiness pumping inside me when she said "To be continue" before the plot drift to a whole new gear. Now I will never know if they would ever be together if given the chance. Maybe what Takumi Hikohito said was true, it was hard not to love her.
Another part of the book I love is how religious are being introduced. Don't get me wrong, I don't see myself as someone religious nor spiritual. The fact that some pointers tinkered me to ponder on life do meant something, that feeling is rather refreshing too.
How will you get out of the labyrinth of life?

If common sense prevails, Mr. Trump's email thread may serve as the final nail in the coffin of email as the universal office communicator. People in business and politics are already moving on to other methods, from cloud-based business tools like Slack to apps like Signal, which promise the discretion of a spymaster. These tools allow for auto-deletion and encryption; they're not perfectly secret (nothing is), but they're a fortress compared with email.
Yet we should mourn email's death as much as we celebrate it; every organization's gain in privacy is bound to result in a loss of public transparency.
The Trump emails show exactly why. Both Mr. Trump and Rob Goldstone, an entertainment publicist who had a relationship with the Trump Organization, understood the sensitivity of their conversation. Mr. Goldstone actually noted the sensitivity a couple of times in the email thread.
One of email's best tricks is asynchronicity — you can send an email even if your recipient is away, unlike a phone call. But in this instance both parties appeared available to talk in real time; several of the missives were sent within minutes of each other. And not only that, they often both used iPhones. (Brace yourself: Mr. Goldstone's mobile email signature, "This iPhone speaks many languages," is destined to become an unbearable meme.)
In other words, they could both have clicked one app over and hashed all this out in a phone call, which would have been faster and left almost no trace. (They did suggest holding a phone call, but it isn't clear if that took place.)
But, no. Despite the sensitivity, email offered something irresistible to the participants. It was easy and it was there, and it felt secret at the time. Looking at the chain now, you might marvel at the brazenness of their conversation — what sort of numbskull would you have to be to write down, in an email, that you're offering a foreign government's help with a presidential campaign?
But that is often the case with email. More technically sophisticated men than Mr. Goldstone and Mr. Trump have fallen for email's allure: Emails from Bill Gates made up the key evidence in the Justice Department's long-running case against Microsoft, and Steve Jobs's audacious emails came back to haunt Apple in several legal proceedings. Email undid Enron and played a small part in the recent fall of Travis Kalanick, Uber's former chief executive.
And those are just the famous cases. Email evidence has become a routine linchpin of white-collar criminal prosecution, because everything anyone has ever thought is likely to be contained in email.
Not for long. Savor Don Jr.'s thread; this is email's last hurrah.

Topic: Labor (04/19/04)
TITLE: A Labor of Love
By Lisa Beaman
"Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was lovely in form, and beautiful. Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, 'I'll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel.'
"Laban said, 'It's better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me.' So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." (Genesis 29:16-20)
This is where the story gets interesting. Jacob had just left his own family because of the fear of the consequences of his deceiving his brother. He worked seven years to earn the love of his life and then his own uncle tricked him into marrying his other daughter Leah. Jacob the deceiver, was deceived.
He must have loved Rachel so much! He agreed to work seven years for her, yet the time only seemed like a few days. Can you imagine the shock he had the morning after his wedding when he realized his bride was Leah? I don't blame him for being upset. However, what goes around comes around. He had used lies and deceit to achieve what God had already promised and Laban used lies and deceit on him to marry off an unattractive daughter.
Seven years he had worked. Seven years! Then, when he realized he had been tricked, he agreed to work seven more years for what had already been promised to him. The second seven years were probably a little different though, because this time he was actually given Rachel at the beginning (Genesis 29:30). Jacob could have cheated Laban at this point. He could have taken his wives and left the country without fulfilling his second term of work. But he didn't. He stayed and finished his labor of love.
Labor can be useful in many ways. Besides the fruit it produces, labor can be very therapeutic. Simply working with your hands can give you peace and contentment. God can also use times of labor to teach us valuable lessons.
I wonder what lesson Jacob learned through all of this? I wonder what God had impressed upon his heart during those fourteen years? Somewhere along the line, he stopped trying to control his future. Somewhere he had stopped trying to make others do what he felt they should do. He didn't try to change Laban. Instead he did all that he could to earn the love of his life (He didn't earn his birthright and blessing, but he worked hard to earn Rachel).
Is labor ever in vain? Did the first seven years of Jacob's work amount to nothing? Even if our work does not produce the results that we intend, the process may produce the results that God intends. God was able to bring about a patient endurance in Jacob through his labor.
What is God teaching us in our tasks at hand? What fruit can God bring about from our labor? "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men." (Colossians 3:23)

Micro-datacenter with Raspberry Pi and Kubernetes
|Cloud, Containers & Infrastructure
Kubernetes is a powerful, open source, container orchestration / cluster management tool created by Google. It drew upon all the lessons learned from a near-decade of using containers at Google. Kubernetes handles a number of failure scenarios gracefully, from a crashed process, to a failure of a cluster node! We'll show this through a real Raspberry Pi computing cluster that runs Kubernetes - and play a real-life chaos monkey by pulling the plugs!
In this session, we'll look beyond container orchestration with Kubernetes, but also demonstrate its failure handling by pulling the plugs on random nodes from a Raspberry Pi computing cluster: - Overview of Kubernetes - Process resource isolation to prevent a run-away process affecting another - Use Replication controller to ensure a crashed process is restarted - Who wants to pull a network or power plug from a computing cluster?

'My name is baggage,' says model son of actor Daniel Day Lewis
Model and aspiring musician Gabriel Kane Day Lewis has admitted that having a famous father can be a curse as he tries to make a name for himself in showbusiness.
The Chanel model (20), whose parents are acting legend Daniel Day Lewis and French actress Isabelle Adjani, said his famous surname comes with "some baggage".
"I'm very proud of my parents, but they really set a bar and cast an immense shadow. It's made it hard for me to find myself," he told the Evening Standard.
Gabriel, who has lived in Co Wicklow since he was 14, said his father has been "amazing" at sheltering his family from fame's downside.
"There's nothing more important to him than his privacy and that of his family."

The Lake Michigan Chapter is NAEM's local networking group for EHS and sustainability leaders in the Chicagoland area. To stay current with regulatory issues, share information with peers and learn valuable professional skills, register for an upcoming event today!
Thursday Sept. 19, 2013
3 - 6 p.m.
Location: Schneider Electric, 1415 South Roselle Road,
Palatine, IL 60067
Corporate EH&S professionals face a challenge in selecting and using an Environmental Management Information System (EMIS) to capture, evaluate, and report on, their critical EH&S Metrics. Beyond the standard environmental compliance and safety metrics, the increasing focus on Sustainability and its associated metrics is adding an additional aspect that an EMIS must address. There are numerous commercially available options, and evaluating, selecting, and using a particular EMIS can be a daunting task. This event discusses the options and challenges, provides some insight and recommendations on how to select and use an EMIS, and provides three (3) brief case studies the selection/use of different EMIS options, with an emphasis on how to incorporate Sustainability metrics within the platform.

Today the National Association for Environmental Management (NAEM) announced they are partnering with the Center for Retail Compliance (CRC) to encourage knowledge-sharing about best practices in environmental compliance.
NAEM's 2017 EHS&S Software Buyers Guide report reveals that 'Working to provide Greater External Transparency' is among the top reasons why companies are shopping for commercial software to track environment, health and safety and sustainability performance. The expectation for external transparency about environment, health and safety, and sustainability (EHS&S) performance is driving more companies to the commercial software market, according to a research report released today by the National Association for Environmental Management (NAEM).

Forecast quality and simple instrument rules: a real-time data approach
We start from the assertion that a useful monetary policy design should be founded on more realistic assumptions about what policymakers can know at the time when policy decisions have to be made. Since the Taylor rule – if used as an operational device - implies a forward looking behaviour, we analyze the reliability of the input information. We investigate the forecasting performance of OECD projections for GDP growth rates and inflation. We diagnose a much better forecasting record for inflation rates compared to GDP growth rates, which for most countries are almost uninformative at the time a Taylor rule should sensibly be applied. Using this data set, we find significant differences between Taylor rules estimated over revised data compared to real-time data. There is evidence that monetary policy seems to react more actively in real time than rules estimated over revised data suggest. Given the evidence of systematic errors in OECD forecasts, in a next step we attempt to correct for these forecast biases and check to which extent this can lower the errors in interest rate policy setting. An ex-ante simulation for the years 1991 to 2001 supports the proposal that correcting for forecast errors and biases based on an error model can lower the resulting policy error in interest rate setting for most countries under consideration. In addition we investigate to what extent structural changes in the policy reaction behaviour can be handled with moving instead of expanding samples. Our results point out that the information set available needs a careful examination when applied to instrument rules like those of the Taylor type. Limited forecast quality and significant data revisions recommend a more sophisticated handling of the dated information, for which we present an operational procedure that has the potential of reducing the risk of severe policy errors.

At the broadest level, I'd say I'm a pretty social media-savvy person. I don't really use Vine and barely share to Instagram, but I do all the other major shit — and I've done it as a job for a few companies along the way too. I generally understand the medium and the idea behind it. I even write about it sometimes.
Been thinking recently about how social media marketing — which has a whole host of other problems around tracking and revenue ties — tends to structure their plea for you to like them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter/Instagram/etc. as "… join the conversation."
I'd say "join the conversation" is No. 1, and 1A or No. 2 is "… don't miss out" (which plays on the broader idea of FOMO). In reality, none of this matters that much. Organic reach is declining to the point where something your brand posts might be seen by about 6% of the people who've "liked" your page. Facebook is def. a pay-to-play space. Don't even get me started on Twitter; the shelf life of a tweet over there has been tagged as 18 minutes, but often it feels like 18 seconds is more realistic.
So maybe the approach to getting someone to like your page or follow you doesn't matter that much, but still … it's interesting how brands are always telling me to "join the conversation." Maybe I don't want to.
Think about this: we live in a time period where everyone is super fucking busy all the time. Managers don't even feel like they have the time to respect their employees (pretty basic human emotional condition, no?). Everyone's drowning in daily deliverables.
So … who has the time to join a conversation with Clorox or Time Magazine or some other brand?
Also, the term "join a conversation" makes me want to punch myself in the nuts for a second reason: most brands on social media aren't a conversation. They tend to share links and content — content marketing is all the rage, baby! — and about 3/4 of the time, they have "neutral" interactions. It's not really about organic dialogue, usually. It's about up-selling or chasing likes.
Personal sidebar here: I ran an education vertical on social (God, that sentence made me sound like a d-bag) for PBS in 2011 or so. I used to have FB posts like, "What does 'education' mean to you?" They would create an actual conversation — 200 comments, etc. sometimes — and I ultimately got reprimanded and told, "Maybe that's not what we should be doing in that space…" Basically, my boss was benchmarking to competitors. That's always a sound strategy, right?
So no, I don't want to join the conversation. I don't want to click a button and see 10 percent of your posts and have you sell me stuff. I don't want you to send me to a website that's not transparent at all.
I want to have an actual conversation around the things I care about and the reasons I clicked your button. Is that too much to ask?
