Photo Gallery
Año Nuevo
Año Nuevo is most well known for the thousands of elephant seals who come there to give birth, breed, molt, and rest throughout the year. Click here to see some photos of the park and its animal inhabitants.
Half Moon Bay
The most unique feature of the beach at Half Moon Bay is its status as a significant nesting ground for the Western Snowy Plover. These charming shore birds roost in any indentation in the sand (for example, a footprint) and lay their eggs in scrapes they make in the sand. This makes them especially vulnerable to disturbance by unwary beach goers and/or their dogs, or by predators such as foxes and raccoons. Click here to see some photos of the plovers, as well as other wildlife found at Half Moon Bay.

WALTHAM, Mass. — March 26, 2013 — Brainshark, Inc., the leading sales enablement platform provider, today announced the launch of "SlideShark Broadcasting" – making presentations delivered from the iPad and iPhone accessible in real time to remote or in-person meeting attendees on their device of choice. Now, users of SlideShark – the award-winning app for viewing, presenting and sharing PowerPoints on iOS devices – can invite others to view their presentation as it's being delivered live. Recipients, whether across the table or across the globe, can see the presentation on any Internet-connected computer, tablet or smartphone – viewing slides as they're advanced, animations as they unfold, drawings and annotations as made by the presenter, and more.
Attendees can easily view live broadcasts of presentations via their Web browser – no downloads required. Presenters, meanwhile, maintain control over what content is delivered, when it's delivered and the overall cadence of the meeting. At the meeting's conclusion, they also receive detailed reports on audience viewing activity and attendance.
"So many of us have been in this situation: We're about to give a presentation and learn that some people can't attend in-person," said Brainshark CEO Joe Gustafson. "SlideShark eliminates those barriers to information delivery – now providing a total meeting solution for mobile presenters. They have the unique ability to show and project PowerPoint decks with full fidelity using their iOS devices, and now can make it easy for everyone – especially those who aren't in the room – to follow along. Broadcasting is another way we strive to make SlideShark a presenter's best friend, and we're excited about the benefits this brings to business users."
Introduced a year-and-a-half ago, SlideShark has been downloaded more than 1.4 million times and is used by individuals and businesses in more than 140 countries. The app gives users the unprecedented ability to view and present PowerPoints on the iPad and iPhone with fonts, animations, graphics, videos and hyperlinks intact – while also serving as a business-class platform to distribute, track and manage content in the cloud.
"Our sales team is constantly on the road – with mobile reps relying on SlideShark to present to prospects and clients from their iPads," said Mehgan Recker, senior manager for digital innovation and development at Stagnito Media, a publisher of leading magazines for food, gourmet and convenience store retailers, and provider of integrated marketing services. "Now, when reps learn someone can't attend a meeting, they won't have to scramble to email out the deck – hoping the recipient will follow along correctly. SlideShark Broadcasting lets our sales reps keep everyone in the loop, while enabling them to maintain control over their presentation delivery. It's very intuitive to use – for presenters as well as attendees – and makes the app even more useful to us."
Part of the newly released SlideShark version 3.0, SlideShark Broadcasting marries SlideShark's ability to show PowerPoints properly on iOS devices – as well as its powerful features for mobile presenters – with several key capabilities in traditional desktop Web conferencing solutions as well. SlideShark Broadcasting is truly unique in enabling iOS users to present PowerPoint decks intact and broadcast them over the Web, while supporting animations too.
Now, with the launch of SlideShark Broadcasting, users who are presenting via SlideShark on their iPad, iPhone or iPod touch can:
Along with the launch of SlideShark Broadcasting, Brainshark is also announcing SlideShark Pro, a new offering that includes the broadcasting capabilities and provides an additional 1GB of storage for the user. SlideShark Pro account holders are able to invite up to 10 attendees to view each presentation they broadcast. Users of SlideShark Team Edition, the multi-user business version of SlideShark, can invite up to 25 attendees per broadcast. Free SlideShark users, as well as individuals with SlideShark Plus accounts, can try out the capability through May 31 at no cost – inviting up to three attendees to view each broadcast.
Additional new features available to all users as part of SlideShark 3.0 include the ability for presenters to:
"Sales enablement is a strategic priority for many organizations today, as they look at how to best equip sales teams to drive bottom line results," said Edge Coble, research analyst within the sales enablement strategies practice at SiriusDecisions, a leading analyst firm focused on sales and marketing effectiveness. "Because sales reps are increasingly mobile and time-constrained, solutions that enhance productivity on the road are critical. In this regard, products such as SlideShark – that enable sales professionals to deliver powerful presentations from their mobile device at hand, loop in colleagues and prospects in remote locations, and get actionable data on presentation effectiveness – can help companies drive their business forward."

Sunday, November 15, 2009

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Maurice Jones-Drew saw a clear path to the end zone and somehow fought the urge to walk across the goal line.
The Jacksonville running back stopped at the 1 and took a knee, keeping the clock ticking and setting up Josh Scobee's 21-yard field goal that gave the Jaguars a 24-22 victory over the New York Jets as time expired Sunday.
"Sorry to my fantasy owners," Jones-Drew deadpanned. "I apologize. I had myself today. It was a tough call, but whatever it takes to get the victory, that's what counts."
With the Jaguars (5-4) facing second-and-6 from the 10, Jones-Drew took a handoff up the middle and went down to give Jacksonville first-and-goal from the 1 with about 11/2 minutes left.
"They said get a close as you can and take a knee," said Jones-Drew, who had an earlier 33-yard touchdown run. "I was looking for someone to tackle me."
New York (4-5) had no timeouts left, and the Jets offense could only watch from the sideline as the time melted away.
"Smartest play of the game," said Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, who read from a prepared statement before taking questions. "That's an MVP play right there."
David Garrard took a knee on the next two plays, giving Scobee the opportunity to kick the winner for the Jaguars and make up for an earlier 49-yard miss. Jones-Drew's play reminded Garrard of when Philadelphia's Brian Westbrook also took a knee at the 1 to seal a late-season win over Dallas in 2007.
"It was impressive to see him do that for the team," Garrard said. "There are a lot of questions to be asked about what if this doesn't go right, or that doesn't go right. Everything went right, so we can smile on the way back to Jacksonville."
The Jets came out of their bye-week break making the same mistakes that plagued them in the first eight games. New York has dropped five of its last six, and is headed to AFC-leading New England next Sunday.

Christmas Trifle
Each year, my mom makes a beautiful trifle for Christmas. I'm pretty sure at one point, she was only making one, but as the popularity of her trifle grew, she is now up to making 6+ for different holiday events, friends, and family. My sister and I grew up begrudgingly helping my mom make these trifles but we both have grown to love them and look forward to a bite of trifle every December. A trifle is just a layered dessert that is usually made with cake pieces, cream, pudding, and fruit. My mom tops her with a beautiful design of fruit: kiwi, peaches and raspberries. I wanted to make some trifle to share with this blog but a normal trifle can serve a whole family, so I made a mini version! To prepare a regular trifle, the process is just the same. I highlighted Driscoll's Berries in my trifle. I absolutely love their raspberries and blackberries so I wanted to have a higher ratio of berries in my trifle than may normally be used. Driscoll's also sells really beautiful Strawberries and Blueberries that I have used in many many of my previous posts. Berries always add such … Continue reading

News and Events Details
They may be the youngest students you see on campus. Five times each semester, children from Superior elementary schools come to UW-Superior to math lessons. And it's up to Marilyn Toscano's students to teach them.
Students in Toscano's Teaching Elementary and Middle School Mathematics course teach five "Math Days" during which Superior schoolchildren of various grades are brought to campus for 90-minute sessions in six different areas.
The purpose of the course is to develop the students' competency to teach math. Drawing on skills and knowledge acquired in class sessions and in previous courses, they're responsible for researching, planning and applying the lessons they will teach to the visiting children.
Part of the challenge is that when the schoolchildren arrive, the university students have no idea what skills they possess or whether any have special needs. That requires the students to learn to adapt quickly and to think on their feet, said Toscano, a senior lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
To prepare their lessons, the students search the Internet and use their own ideas, said Emily Johnson, a math education major from Duluth.
They use the experience and knowledge gained in earlier methods classes to gauge how difficult to make their lessons for various grades.
"You know where they're at mentally and what they're capable of doing," she said. "We're thinking, 'What would you teach kindergarten through sixth-graders,' so we have to develop plans for each level."
A key to success is making the lesson interesting to the audience. For younger children, that might mean basing a lesson on measurement around "Jack and the Beanstalk," and having children weigh "eggs" and measure the length of beanstalks they make.
"We want to put together fun learning activities. We try to make it fun but they're still learning," said Alyssa Buhrmann, an elementary education from Rice Lake, Wis.
As part of their lesson, the teacher education students also plan "extension activities" - that means creating a Plan B (and Plan C) in case the schoolchildren don't understand or lose interest in the initial lesson plan.
The students need to be well prepared, Toscano said, because today even kindergarten children may come to Math Day knowing how to use smart boards and computers.
The UW-Superior students conduct their sessions in pairs but each teaches his or her own lesson. Lindsay Clark, an elementary education major from Superior, said having free rein in the classroom provides important experience.
"This class gives us a realistic idea what to expect in the classroom because, even though we're working with a partner, we're the only one up there teaching the lesson," she said.
Although she plans to teach kindergarten after graduating, Clark said she values the experience she's gaining by teaching math to older children so she can understand how her work plays into their development.
"I've always felt math is important," she said. "People use math every day of their lives. It's as important as literacy."

Stay Away From This Retailer
Callum is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Note: This article made an erroneous reference to J.C. Penney's dividend. This has been corrected.
What's Big, Boring, and Red all Over?
J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) trades at a price to free cash flow (TTM) of -5.2 and at a book value of 1.41. It has room to fall. J.C. Penney saw its same stores drop 21.7% in the second quarter, far steeper than the 17.4% that was expected. J.C. Penney just simply can't seem to get it right, even after bringing in Ron Johnson. Ron Johnson used to work at Apple as their Senior Vice President of Retail Operations. He helped pioneer the Genius Bar and the Apple Retail Stores. Investors are hoping that he will be able to turn around JCP and to stop the rapid loss of customers.
Why is there no one here?
Under Ron Johnson, JCP changed their pricing style from coupons and sales to everyday low prices. So far this hasn't paid off as customers continue to leave in droves. As I already said, in the second quarter JCP saw its same store sales fall by 21.7%. In the first quarter, JCP same store sales fell 20%. That isn't a good trend, and it seems the turnaround play still hasn't paid off. What JCP wants to brand itself as is the company that doesn't jerk you around, no more sales or promotions, just always low prices. Morgan Stanley did some research into their new pricing scheme; with most consumers saying that they didn't like the new system. This is the third rebranding effort over the past few years, which isn't a good sign.
Room to Fall
For a retailer that isn't profitable, JCP is trading at a fat premium. JCP should be trading at below book because it continues to lose money, which in turn erodes its book value. In the second quarter, JCP lost $147 million, compared to a $14 million profit a year ago. If JCP continues on this path, which it most likely will, expect it to drop below book value. Right now JCP has about $850 million in cash, but it has lost $500 million over the past year. Unless it can change its fortunes, it will run out of cash in a year or two. Plus JCP scrapped its dividend earlier in the year in order to preserve cash for their overhaul. JCP is expecting that it will continue to lose money in the next quarter.
Apples to Apples
What about the competition? Maybe this is a sector wide downfall that is hurting everyone. Well that hardly seems to be the case, Target (NYSE: TGT) reported 2.1% same store sales growth in September, 4.2% in August, 3.1% in July, and 2.1% June. Just because Target can grow its same store sales doesn't mean other stores can. Oh wait, Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT) has also seen its last 3 months of same store sales increased. Same store sales for 20 major retailers rose 3.7% last month. JCP stopped reporting same store sales a while ago, but as you can see the rest of the retailing space is doing fine.
Stock performance
JCP shares are down almost 32% YTD, even as the S&P 500 is up 16%. Target and Wal-Mart shares are both up a whopping 25% this year. So I guess there are two ways to look at this, JCP shares are undervalued and due for a turnaround. Or JCP is going to continue on its trajectory downward for a while until these turnaround measures take effect. If you are one of the few who is bullish on JCP but doesn't know when to buy, wait until at least its next earnings report. With US GDP growth coming in at 1.3% last quarter, consumer spending will continue to be depressed and this will hurt retailers. No reason to buy when JCP will most likely continue to fall for some time.
Final Thoughts
JCP can't seem to get its sales pitch to consumers right, and it is clearly being reflected in its same store sales and profits. I'm bearish on JCP for the moment and expect to see it fall below $20 by the end of 2012. If you are looking for a retailer play I would recommend something like a Target or Wal-Mart; companies with consistent free cash flows and can cover the cost of their dividends with ease.

Capable of monitoring and reporting an exhaustive list of environmental parameters - from temperature to barometric pressure, dewpoint, wind chill, and more**, the Kestrel 4500 is the most feature-rich pocket weather meter in the entire Kestrel catalog.
In addition to the Kestrel 4000's extensive list of capabilities, the Kestrel 4500 has these distinct monitoring functions:
These added features make the 4500 the Kestrel Meter of choice for military professionals, HAZMAT teams, and flight crews. Like all the pocket weather meters in the Kestrel 4000 series, the Kestrel 4500 is capable of storing and charting up to 1400 data points for later analysis.
For military professionals, the Desert Tan NV version of the Kestrel 4500 features a night-vision preserving backlight. Backlight incorporates optical filter to reduce overall brightness and minimize blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision. (Note: This backlight appears soft greyish pink, not red, and is still in the visible spectrum, so is not compatible with night-vision equipment.)
For military professionals, the Desert NV version of the Kestrel 4500 is equipped with a red night vision backlight. The backlight appears as a subdued, almost white-pink hue. This is not an issue with the meter - this is how the light is designed for optimal performance in low-light conditions.
Weekend shooters and military snipers alike have been calling for a Kestrel Meter with crosswind calculation for years - and the Kestrel 4500 meets that demand completely. The elite Kestrel 4500 has the most complete list of features in the entire Kestrel Meter family, with the only absent elements being the airflow and humidity ratio measurements available with the Kestrel 4200 Air Flow Tracker.
The Kestrel 4500 includes a soft carry pouch, neck lanyard and 2 AAA batteries.
The Kestrel 4500 accurately measures/features:

Sys Admin's Daily Grind: lsof
The Long and the Short of It: lsof
The shorter a command, the longer the list of support parameters. This rule applies to lsof, one of Charly's favorite commands.
If you type lsof without parameters, the output is a long list of open files. This outpouring is sorted by PID; thus, it starts with init. On a laptop I was using as a lab machine, the list includes no fewer than 6,778 entries, which is not my understanding of intelligible.

Envisioning a library of the future with students in ARCH 353
This post is written by Jesse Vestermark, Architecture and Environmental Design Librarian. Featured image: A future library envisioned by Claire Joseph.
In December 2013, I received and unusual request from Professor Richard Beller, an Architecture faculty member I have worked with in the past. He didn't (necessarily) need me to help his students find resources on the design of libraries. Instead, he wanted me and a handful of my library colleagues to help advise his twenty or so third-year students in ARCH 353 Architectural Design 3.3 (Lab) through the process of designing a public library for Oakland, California for the year 2030.

Point Descriptions:
additional info: Alamo Lake, Gateway to Alamo Lake
Nestled in the Bill Williams River Valley away from the hustle and bustle of ever day life, Alamo Lake is one of Arizonas best kept secrets. Visitors here enjoy outdoor fun, premier bass fishing, rest and relaxation. Fishing tournaments are common at the lake and anglers have an excellent opportunity to catch bluegill, largemouth bass, channel catfish and black crappie. Spring rains bring an abundance of wildflowers and the lake environment attracts a variety of wildlife year round, including bald and golden eagles, waterfowl, foxes, coyotes, mule deer and wild burrows. Stargazers are sure to enjoy the unbelievable view of the night sky, with the nearest city lights some 40 miles away. Camping is a great way to take advantage of these incredible star viewing opportunities. There are 80 campground sites with hook-ups to water and electricity. 19 full hook-up sites, developed and undeveloped campgrounds with restrooms and showers. There is also a dump station and fish cleaning station. Alamo Lake was created with the completion of Alamo Dam in 1968. Its elevation is 1300 feet. The park is located 47 miles north of Wenden, AZ (off US Route 60) on Alamo Dam Road.
additional info: Arizona Wilderness Areas and Public Lands
Different from many Sonoran Desert mountain ranges, the Harquahalas (22,880 acres) contain a screened interior canyon system. The distinctive ecosystems provide exceptional natural diversity, including interior chaparrals, desert grasslands and rare cactus populations. The area also supports habitat for desert bighorn sheep, desert tortoise and mule deer populations. Access the northern boundary by jeep trails along Highway 60, east of Wenden. Numerous off-road trails can be found to the south, off Eagle Eye Road. 4-wheel drive vehicles are recommended if you venture off Eagle Eye Road.
The Harquahala Pack Trail was built in the 1920s to supply the people who lived at the Observatory. Base Camp Trailhead is at an elevation of 2,230 feed, and the Summit Trailhead is at 5,618 feet. It is 5.4 miles from Base Camp to the Summit, with an elevation gain of 3,361 feet. It is rated difficult and not well marked. To reach the trailhead, proceed east from Salome approximately 13 miles on Highway 60 to Milepost 70.5, turn south through the gate (please close gate), follow the BLM signs to the trailhead, approximately 2.1 miles. There is a larger turn around area at about 1.8 miles, with an unloading area for horses.
The Harquahala Peak Observatory
The Harquahala (originally spelled Harqua Hala) Peak Observatory was at its height of glory in 1924. What remains of the field station can be seen first hand by traveling from Eagle Eye Road, up the south side of the mountain, to the peak of the Harquahala Mountains, at an elevation of almost 6,000 feet. In recent years the Bureau of Land Management has refurbished the Observatory and made improvements to the road, as well as adding signs and restrooms at the base of the trail. Even with these improvements, the road is steep and treacherous and it is recommended for high-clearance 4-wheel drive vehicles with experienced drivers only. The panoramic and breathtaking view from southwest Arizonas highest point, is well worth the trip.
additional info: Wenden Map
The Great Arizona Outback Rumor and Innuendo Historical Society spearheaded a county-wide effort to clean and restore the Wenden Cemetery. The Master Gardeners of Salome put in watering systems and landscaping. The La Paz County Parks Department donated cement benches and a gazebo was built for shade. An area adjacent to the cemetery was dedicated to the memory of Cactus Kelli, who was the inspiration for the project. A Cactus Kelli Park sign was constructed and the VFW Post #3708 donated the solar light for the flag pole. There are 135 plus marked graves and 87 unmarked sites in the cemetery. A number of the oldtimers who settled the country are buried at Wenden. To reach the cemetery drive east on Highway 60 from Wenden across the Centennial Bridge, turn south on Wenden Hillside Drive. Proceed south and west to the cemetery.
additional info: 911 Memorial Monument
The 9-11 Memorial Monument was the culmination of three years of planning on the part of the McMullen Valley Fire District, Salome Lions Club and the McMullen Valley Chamber of Commerce. There were many individual volunteers and local businesses that provided labor, donated materials and made monetary donations to make this memorial possible. The monument was built honoring the victims of the terrorists attacks of September 11, 2001. It is the first 9-11 Memorial in La Paz County. It is located at the McMullen Valley Chamber of Commerce, 66710 Highway 60, Salome, Arizona.
additional info: Dick Wick Hall
"Arizonas most Famous Humorist" Publisher of the Salome Sun 1925- 1926, owner of the Laughing Gas gas station, creator of The Salome Frog and the Greasewood Golf Lynx, published in the Saturday Evening Post, author of a syndicated column in 28 newspapers from New York to California 1925 1926, co-editor of the Wickenburg News-Herald, 1901. Salome was established in 1904 with the help of Charles W. Pratt in the area that Dick Wick Hall liked to call Happy Valley. It was during that time that Mrs. (Salome) Pratt attempted to walk on the hot desert sand in her bare feet and proceeded to dance to her destination. There and then Dick Wick Hall named the town Salome where she danced - Arizona. The founder of Salome is honored with both a historical marker on Highway 60 and Center Street, and the historical gravesite near the site of his old office and home, located at the intersection of Center and Hall Streets.
Harrisburg was established in 1886 by Captain Charles Harris, and his partner Governor Frederick Tritle, as a mill town to process ore from the Socorro and other mines in the area. By 1887 two mills were operating here. The post office was established April 29, 1887 and discontinued September 29, 1906. Harrisburg was a ghost town by World War I noted by the La Paz Historical Commission. Its not clear, based on historical information, but Harrisburg may have been referred to as Orville, and/or Centennial. There was believed to be 30 people living there with one saloon and one general store and stamp mills. Today the valley is populated with mini ranches, a gravel operation and full fledged working ranches. Travel south east on Salome Road approximately 5 miles and you will come to a historical marker on the (west) of the road. It reads Harrisburg. Slightly south of this marker on the right side of the road, just past 40725 Salome Road, there is a road/trail with a Y leading off the black top on your right. It is a little hard to identify. Follow the road west approximately ¼ mile until you come to the main gate of the Harrisburg Ranch. Turn left following the fence line on the west side of the fence. You will travel past some old structures along the way, continue about 1/3 mile. You will come to the beautiful Pioneer Cemetery of Harrisburg. Very well maintained and cared for by the local residents. The cemetery is fenced with a large stone monument in the center, which was erected by the La Paz Sheriffs Posse in December 1985. There are a few headstones standing that are legible. Several small white rock enclosures outlining additional graves, but no names or dates indicating those interred. In total there are approximately 33 interments.
This is a popular picnic area in the Harcuvar Mountains, near Tank Pass. This was an old granite quarry, with some of the rock going to the state capital in Phoenix. You can walk around to the southwest to see the quarry. There are still some stones lying around with the drill holes that were used to split the rock. (Contrary to popular belief, this was not an area where prisoners were held.). The road is very sandy and it is recommended that you use a 4-wheel drive vehicle. In Salome, from Hwy 60 go north on Center Street until it dead ends at a stop sign. Turn west on Hall Street and continue to Indian Springs Road and turn north, then follow the trail markers.
additional info: Arizona Wilderness Areas and Public Lands
The Harcuvar Mountains are a narrow mountain rage in western-central Arizona. The range lies just east of the north-south Colorado River, and south of the east-west, west-flowing Bill Williams River. The range is part of the three-range sequence of mildly arc-shaped ranges and two intermountain valleys in the Maria fold and thrust belt, a region in western Arizona and southeast southern California, with the Colorado River flowing south through the western part of the belt. The fold-and-thrust-belt region contains numerous plains, valleys, and mountain ranges about 30 landforms in all. The range is a narrow range about 25 miles long and 5 miles wide, and trends southwest to northeast. The McMullen Valley is the southeast border of the range, and is traversed by US Route 60. Four peaks are found in the range, the highest peak is Smith Peak, Arizona, 5,242 feet in the northeast, but not easy accessible by road. In the southwest, is Harcuvar Peak, at 4,618 feet. Accessible by unimproved road, via Cottonwood Pass. Two other peaks lie in the center of the range, one lies adjacent and north of Cunningham Pass, called ECC Peak, at 3,000 feet, and further northeast, ECP peak, at 4,593 feet. One of the most important aspects of the Harcuvar Mountains is the major, and southern access route to Alamo Lake State Park approximately 30 miles upriver on the Bill Williams River. It begins at Wenden, Arizona and immediately climbs through the Harcuvars to Cunningham Pass. Another 24 miles traverses the Butler Valleys northeast, and the flatlands northeast of the Buckskin Mountains. The entire southeast perimeter of the Harcuvar Mountains borders the McMullen Valley, with US Route 60, The series of communities starting at the southwest are Vicksburg, Hope & Harcuvar, then Salome, Wenden and lastly after 26 miles straight stretch, Aguila
additional info: Bouse, Arizona
Bouse was settled in 1906 and named Brayton for John Brayton Martin who kept the Brayton Commercial Company for the Harquahala Mine. However, when the postal application was filed in 1907, postal officials picked up the applicants name, Thomas Bouse, and the name Brayton faded into history. East of Bouse, 30 miles along a dirt road, Swansea, now a ghost town, Swansea was once a copper mining community of 750. Although the mine closed in 1924 and the town died, many remnants still exist. Twenty miles east of Bouse, in the remote Butler Valley, is Camp Bouse. This secret Army base was built during World War II to train men with a new tank designed for night warfare. Camp Bouse Ninth Tank Group Memorial was recently established in Bouse. The Bouse Assay Office has been restored and opened as an information and tourist center. Founders Day is celebrated in November. The Bouse Boosters hold both a Christmas Bazaar and Spring Fever Days.
General George S. Patton established Camp Bouse in 1943 in the Butler Valley as the site for training over 5,500 carefully screened and qualified volunteers. These soldiers were trained to use a highly secret weapon called the Canal Defense Light. Dubbed the Gizmo by the soldiers who operated it, the CDL was a 13-million candle power searchlight mounted on specialized tank for the purpose of illuminating the area at night to dazzle the enemy with its flickering light. Troop trains brought the highly trained soldiers and their equipment from Fort Knox under heavy guard on October 14, 1943. The CDL tanks were never deployed to war. The post was occupied by the 9th Tank Group and the 526th Armored Infantry Battalion. The site was dismantled and abandoned in 1945. The monument was erected in 2010 by Arizona State Society Daughters of the American Revolution Jo Beaver Andress, State Regent. The marker is in Bouse, Arizona on Broadway Avenue, route 72 at milepost 27, south of Main Street on the right when traveling west. It is east of the railroad tracks across from the U. S. Post Office, in the post office area located on Powerline Road in Butler Valley west from Alamo Lake Road.
additional info: Swansea Arizona Ghost Town
Prospectors began working the area in the year 1862. Results were slow until 1886, when three miners struck a silver-lead ore on the Ruby Silver claim. Soon the silver ran out, leaving only a worthless copper deposit. John W. Johnson eventually sold the mining claims in 1904 to the Signal Group. The new owners found the key to fully developing the copper mine lay with the Arizona & California Railroads new line from Wickenburg to Parker. T.J. Carrigan, one of the new owners, began looking for investors. He convinced George Mitchell to take a 21 mile buckboard ride through the desert to visit the claim in 1908. It worked. Mitchell, a Swansea born Welshman, incorporated the Clara Consolidated the following year. Gaining capital from foreign investors, he then built a blast furnace smelter, power plant, water system and dug more mine shafts. By 1909, with a population of 500 people, the town blossomed to include saloons, a general store, post office and even a moving picture house. The first train arrived at the adobe depot on the new Swansea Railroad in 1910. By May of that same year, the furnaces began producing the first copper at a rate to 50 tons a day. Unfortunately, Mitchell, who invested heavily above ground and not enough in the mines, was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1911. After bankruptcy was declared, the mine had several false starts until 1915, when Ernest C. Lane became the manager and successfully ran the mine for a number of different owners. New adobe houses were built for company families and worker cottages were built near the store. The mine fell victim to the Great Depression and a declining copper market, and never boomed again. The last milling was reported in 1944. It now sits as a reminder of gold seekers and gamblers on the edge of the Swansea Wilderness area just northeast of Bouse, south of the Bill Williams River. Today as one of Arizonas favorite ghost towns, Swansea has only remnants of a blast furnace smelter, power plant, railroad, company store and workers cottages. Travel north to Vicksburg, then turn northwest on AZ 72 to Bouse. From Bouse take Swansea Road north through Midway to Swansea.
additional info: Bouse, Arizona
The fisherman is an intaglio (geoglyph or earth figure), a large figure created in the soil by Indians many years ago. Visit the site of this protected giant on Plomosa Road near Bouse where you will also find an interpretive sign and bronze plaque set in a stone pillar. Special recognition has been given to Con & Dawn Bergland by the Bureau of Land Management as Friends of the Fisherman. Plomosa Road, off Hwy 72 in Bouse, is also referred to as the Quartzsite Scenic Route. Wander through spectacular natural desert vistas, cross a mountain range, and drop down into an open valley before you come into Quartzsite. The road is paved and well maintained, scenic viewing and parking areas are abundant.
additional info: Arizona Wilderness Areas and Public Lands
The Buckskin Mountains are a mountain range in western-central Arizona. The range lies just east of the north-south Colorado River, and south of the east-west, west flowing Bill Williams River. The range is part of a three-range sequence of mildly arc-shaped ranges, and two intermountain valleys in the Maria fold and thrust belt, a region in Western Arizona and southwest Southern California, with the Colorado River flowing south through the western part of the belt. The Buckskin Mountains also extend west into a section abutting the Colorado River. Buckskin Mountain State Park borders the south of the Bill Williams River. The southeast section of the Buckskin Mountains are part of a three-mountain range thrust-faulted system with the Harcuvar and Harquahala Mountains. The highest peak in the section is Battleship Peak, 2,579 feet at the southwest end, and directly northeast of Bouse in the Ranegras Plain, and the Bouse Wash Drainage. The west end of the mountains abut the north-south Colorado River. Located here is the Gibralter Mountain Wilderness, with Gibralter Mountain, at 1,566 feet. The entire north perimeter of the range is the Bill Williams River. Buckskin Mountain State Park is at its confluence in the northwest at the Colorado River. Abutting the Bill Williams in the center is the Swansea Wilderness, the northeast contains the Rawhide Mountains Wilderness on both sides of the river. The northeast of the range borders Alamo Lake State Park, which also borders the Rawhide Mountains on the lakes northwest side.

Like the city of New Orleans itself, Claire Laurent is a vibrant beauty laced with a mysterious elusiveness. The founder of French Silk, a fabulous lingerie company, she has fought hard to make it a worldwide success. Then a TV evangelist attacks French Silk's erotic sleepwear as sinful. And when he is killed, Claire becomes the prime suspect.
District Attorney Robert Cassidy knows Claire is damning herself with lie after lie about the murder, even as he feels her drawing him into her world and her very soul. But neither Cassidy nor her protests of innocence can save Claire unless she reveals a shocking truth – one she has sworn to take to the grave….
©1992 Sandra Brown (P)2010 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Set in atmospheric New Orleans, Brown's latest highly entertaining novel again demonstrates her mastery of the romantic suspense genre....[T]he novel is adroitly plotted and sleekly paced, and has just the right mix of menace and sex to keep pages turning." (Publishers Weekly)
"Sandra Brown at her Best!!"
This is an excellent murder mystery with a robust romance and a rich cast of characters. I constantly found myself changing who I thought had committed the homicide and in the end, I was still wrong. Renée Raudman never fails to amaze me with the diversity of her narration which allows you to forget that you aren't listening to several people. Her range provides deep believable voices for men and feminine voices for women. I didn't want it to end.
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
"Sandra Brown At Her Best"
After recently re-reading this book, I felt the need to urge others to read it too. If you like a mystery that keeps you guessing, a love story that sizzles, a leading lady who is as smart as she is sexy, and a hero who defines the meaning of the word - then this is the novel for you. Claire and Cassidy leads a cast of well-crafted characters, that will keep you eager to turn the page and find out what comes next. Unfortunately for us readers,(as with all Sandra Brown's books) the endings come way to quickly, and you have to shift your imagination into overdrive to keep the story going in your mind past the final chapter. "FRENCH SILK" is a fantastic read. Set against the colorful and captivating backdrop of New Orleans, Ms. Brown weaves a tale of mystery, suspense and an unforgettable story of romance and family loyalty. Claire will stop at nothing to protect her fragile mother from an unforgiving world, her best friend from the perils of loving a married man, and the company she founded from the ravings of a religious fanatic. Cassidy is her perfect match. He is looking to solve the case of the decade, and trap a cold-blooded killer - even it it means investigating the woman he could'nt help loving. Don't let this one slip by you ! Pick it up today and enjoy !
Retired high school English teacher. I liked and worked with the at-risk student. Interested in about everything, but I love a good story.
"Loved the book"
I enjoyed this book when it was published and the audio book is just as good. Well-plotted and filled with detail about New Orleans. Just a little more sensual detail than I'm fond of -- but I'm from a different era. Don't listen in front of the kids.
"A southern sultry sexy murder mystery"
My headline says it all. Set in New Orleans, a who done it, or should I say 'who didn't do it?' cause everyone looks to be a suspect. The story is jam packed with little clues from page to page, but just isn't that easy to figure out. Has some twists and turns, that you don't see coming.
It's a good listen that wraps you up in the characters, eventually learning their dirty little secrets, and motives for what they do.
The narrator does an excellent job, with bringing this murder mystery to life.
Hello, my name is Teresa and I'm an addict.
"Typical Sandra Brown."
This was a typical Sandra Brown book, if you are a fan you will like it. Although far from my favorite by Sandra Brown, I did like it but thought that it had random sex acts scattered throughout that left the book a little raunchy. The law was loosely followed in this story, so abandon all realism for this story and the since it was written in 1992 it is dated. I had my suspicions about what actually happened and in the end I was right. Books by Sandra Brown that I liked better were Envy and The Switch. Joseph Finder is a good author if you are looking for thriller/mystery type of book. Mary Higgins Clark is similar to Sandra Brown but without so much sex involved.
I'm a locksmith in New Orleans. I ride a Harley with my dog Tanner and my books. We have been all over the country.
"Performance lacking in so many ways"
No! Read it or pass. It's unfortunate that the narrator's perfomance was so poor. I think it was the attempt at the new orleans accents that stumpted her. Her performance as far as cadence and flow of words was good. I live in new orleans and that could also have something to do with it.
I would read it.
The switch between male and female was fine but loose the accent.
Yes, to write my first review.
Thanks to all Narrators, with your help, I enjoy many more books.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
"Good Story!"
Excellent story. Great summer read. Nice twist at the end. Only problem I had was, was this the only case an Assistant Dist. Attorney had in a big city like New Orleans?
Narrator was fantastic.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
"Didn't like the reader!"
I couldn't wait to finish this book because the reader was awful. She overdid the accent, ad nauseum.
"Don't know why I kept listening"
I gave 2 starts instead of 1, because I made it all the way through the book (it wasn't so bad that I abandoned all together). The narrator makes the main character, Claire, sound like a total wimp who is about to swoon at any second though her character has obviously endured some tough times and must have some degree or strength and wit. The "love" that unfolds seems so ridiculous in the context of the characteristics the 2 main characters are described to have that I could not even get in to the romance aspect of the story. I will say that I was surprised at the resolution of the mystery so at least that part of the storyline was well done. I will not listen to anything by this narrator again.
"Romance novel disguised as a mystery"
Although the narrator had a great New Orleans accent, and the "mystery" had a somewhat sound premise, with lots of twists and turns, the graphic romantic scenes, pining love and romance novel descriptions seemed the dominant theme. The actual murder "plot" was very predictable, in a soap opera sort of way, but the final "twist" seemed a twist just for the sake of a twist, and there seemed little basis for it. I will not read this author again, as mystery is most definitely secondary to chick lit.

A Small-Cap Chip Maker With Upside Potential
Daniel is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The biggest story in tech, if not in business, over the last few years has been the smartphone war between Samsung and Apple, as these two giants have been duking it out for dominance of this huge market. Yet, companies that are lucky enough to count these two among their clients are uniquely positioned to profit whoever wins the war. Most articles on this subject focus on the larger chip suppliers such as Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM). However, there is one small and relatively unknown chip maker that could be able to deliver big profits in the near future. In this article I will examine RF Micro Devices (NASDAQ: RFMD).
Company overview
RF Micro Devices designs, produces and markets radio frequency components and semiconductor technologies, which are used for mobility and connectivity for mobile devices and wireless infrastructure. Notably, the company supplies technology for Apple as well as Samsung. With a market cap of $1.37 billion and under 4,000 employees, the company isn't a huge player like Qualcomm, but this does mean it might have more growth potential. The stock has a surprisingly low beta of 1.41 and is just about flat over the last twelve months.
A quick look at RF Micro's earnings shows a rather choppy progression. Topping out at $0.62 per share in 2011, annual EPS plunged down to $0.19 in 2012 with two misses in the second half of the year. Things do seem to be rebounding a bit in 2013 though, with two-cent beats in Q2 and Q3. For the latest report, revenue was up 29% sequentially, beating expectations, and management expects more revenue growth above the consensus for the next quarter. Earnings are furthermore expected to double between 2013 and 2014.
Competition in the LTE race
The company's early lead in the LTE space allowed it to acquire significant market share, gaining a slot in Samsung's phones in August last year. However, with the LTE space getting increasingly crowded, it may be difficult for the company to maintain this early lead.
Broadcom, the world's fourth largest supplier of baseband chips, with a market cap of nearly $18 billion, recently announced its own LTE chip, which will reportedly be considerably cheaper, lighter and more power efficient than most comparable models. The company is becoming increasingly competitive in securing iPhone slots, and poses a serious threat to RF Micro.
After a few years of fairly decent earnings growth, going from $1.22 in 2009 to $2.92 in 2012, things are expected to slow down a bit in 2013. However, with the 4G LTE solution scheduled for production in early 2014, this could prove an important catalyst for the company that is looking to rival Qualcomm's lead. An important advantage that Broadcom has is its high degree of product integration, which allows it to bundle several components into a single solution, and offer lower prices across the board.
Skyworks (NASDAQ: SWKS), another supplier of RF chips and a direct competitor of RF Micro's, has similarly been able to profit from the surge in global LTE market, and gets about a quarter each of its revenue from Samsung and Apple. The rally in RF Micro and Skyworks shares was briefly interrupted when Qualcomm announced it would begin production of its own RF chip, but resumed a day later when it became clear that $114 billion circuitry powerhouse would not endanger its existing chip partnerships with the move.
Qualcomm is currently the undisputed leader of the LTE arena, with a market revenue share of roughly 52% in 2012. In fact, the company is the world's fourth largest manufacturer of semiconductors in general. The company has consistently been hitting earnings out of the park, beating by 12% in Q1 2013, and is expecting a very profitable full year. Until competitors like Broadcom begin production in 2014, the company is expecting to maintain its prime position in LTE baseband chips. In summary, while RF Micro appears to be doing a pretty good job of maintaining its slots in the iPhone and Galaxy, it is clear that competition in the space is tough and heating up further.
Valuations and Metrics
Currently, RF Micro is trading a negative earnings multiple, but the forward PE is around 15.11x. The price to sales and price to book are both quite reasonable at 1.58 and 2.12 respectively. Operating margin and return on equity are also both in the negative at the moment, but I expect that these will turn around in the next few years. The company´s balance sheet looks pretty good with a total debt to equity ratio of under 13 and around $190 million in cash.
The bottom line
While most analysts and investors focus on the larger names that supply chips to smartphone makers, the opportunities might currently lie with some of the smaller names. RF Micro Devices has been struggling in terms of earnings in the last few years, but looks like it´s turning things around. As such, the company might be a good way to play the smartphone war, whoever wins in the end.

A soldier stationed at Fort Drum, in northern New York, died in Afghanistan, the Department of Defense announced.
Pfc. Mariano M. Raymundo, 21, of Houston, Texas, died June 1, 2013, in Sharan, the Pentagon said. The military is investigating Raymundo's death but did not elaborate on the circumstances.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered flags on state government buildings to be flown at half-staff on Wednesday, June 5, in Raymundo's honor.
"On behalf of all New Yorkers, I extend my condolences to the family, friends and fellow soldiers of PFC Raymundo," Cuomo said in a statement. "We will honor the service of this Fort Drum soldier and we are grateful for this commitment to our country."
Raymundo, a wheeled vehicle mechanic, was assigned to the 210th Brigade Support Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, which is based out of Fort Drum.
Raymundo joined the Army in November 2011 and deployed with his unit in support of operations in Afghanistan in January 2013.
Raymundo's awards and decorations include the National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the NATO Medal, a Certificate of Achievement, and the Driver and Mechanic Badge and Mechanic Bar, according to Fort Drum.
He leaves behind his mother and father, the Army said.

News and Events Details
Two distinguished mathematicians are set to visit UW-Superior this fall to speak about problems and research in discrete mathematics.
Dr. Jerrold Griggs, the Carolina Distinguished Professor at the University of South Carolina, is expected on campus for several days in November.
Dr. Gyula Katona, who is affiliated with the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, is expected to be on campus for three days in late November.
The mathematicians accepted invitations to visit UW-Superior because they are acquainted with members of the faculty in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
Their visit will benefit students by enabling them to attend talks by world-class researchers, said Dr. Sergei Bezroukov. The visiting professors' talks will be open to the public.
Dr. Griggs received his doctorate degree in applied mathematics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1977. His research interests include combinatorics, extremal set theory, extremal graph theory, graph coloring, operations research, as well as applications of discrete math to biology, number theory, analysis of algorithms, and communications.
Dr. Katona is known for his work in combinatorial set theory, and especially for the Kruskal-Katona theorem and his elegant proof of the Erd's-Ko-Rado theorem.

Nobody won Wednesday's huge Powerball jackpot, but nine Georgia Lottery players will still get a big payoff. The Georgia Lottery says winning tickets worth $1 million each were sold in Marietta and Loganville, and seven $10,000 winners were sold elsewhere around the state.
Officials say one of the $1 million winners was sold at the QuikTrip located at 1350 S. Cobb Drive S.E. in Marietta. FOX 5's Chris Shaw got a look at a copy of the winning ticket that was sold there. The man who won the prize told the clerk at the store he plans to buy a truck and give some of the money to his church. The clerk told FOX 5 the man picked his own numbers.
The other winning ticket was sold to Lee Pietrobon at the Publix Super Market located at 2715 Loganville Highway S.W. in Loganville. Pietrobon said he had no plans for his newfound wealth yet.Two of seven winning tickets worth $10,000 were sold in Savannah with the others sold in Brunswick, Carrollton, Columbus, Dalton and Lawrenceville.Winning numbers from Wednesday's Powerball drawing were: 2-11-26-34-41 and the Powerball was 32.Saturday's jackpot now up to an estimated $550 million to a single annuity winner.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) - Six new Family Medicine doctors are making the rounds at Aspirus.
It's part of Aspirus' resident physician program. Residency director Dr. Kevin O'Connell says the residency program helps refine what medical students end up practicing in the future. "They come out as generalists, as folks who are able to any kind of medicine with specialized training. Residency is where you get that specialized training."
The students at Aspirus are all training to become Family Medicine doctors, who are able to treat and diagnose a wide range of cases. O'Connell says that makes them extremely useful to central and northern Wisconsin. "These are places where you just need to be seen by a doctor and might not need more specialized care."
O'Connell says bringing medical students to Central Wisconsin will increase the likelihood of them sticking around. "Of our graduates, greater than 2/3rds of them stay in the state of Wisconsin and about 35% of the graduates are in a 100 mile radius of Wausau."
You can find out more about the program at aspirus.org/residency.

We get periodic calls from hospitals wanting an interactive patient education system. They generally mean something like the hotels have and want to include meal ordering, movies and all sorts of activities. On the surface this is a reasonable request but it comes with obstacles that the education staff should think about before deciding to go this route. It's also important to drill down into the reason behind the request.
- Interactivity can be complicated for people with limited computer familiarity, education or language barriers. Think about the remote controls that come with today's flat screen TV's. They have over 50 buttons and are complicated for healthy users. Are the majority of your patients in a position to deal with any level of complexity in their current situation?
- Interactivity adds cost. A common reason for wanting an interactive patient education system is to move some mundane, repetitive tasks to the patient to save staff time and money. The problem with this thinking is that it generally adds additional responsibility to staff. For an interactive patient education system to be truly interactive there has to be a way for each television to talk independently to the main system. This means adding additional hardware in each room which adds cost, additional maintenance and additional support issues that fall to bio-med, IT and your nurses. It also potentially removes the responsibility for educating patients away from the nurses and forces the patient to rely on themselves or the system alone. This won't solve the patient education problems hospitals currently face. A patient education system is a tool and should not be considered the educator.
- Interactivity is not always familiar. Let's refer back to the different remotes you have in your home. They are not the same. Some are big, some small. Some have 15 buttons, some have 40 or more. Remember going through the set up screens on these TV's? Did you find them easy to navigate? Probably not.
- Interactivity adds time. How often have you used your mouse to click through a software program and thought there had to be a shorter way to get there? Have you ever tried to order pizza on-line? What about reserving a rental car or hotel online. These processes take many multiple steps and if you do it wrong you have to start over.
- Think about your patients. How many are older than 65 and don't own a computer? How many of them don't feel well? How many don't speak English well?
- Think about the telephone. It's familiar. It's simple. Everyone can use one without training. The buttons are always the same even if the phone is different. And, it has an added benefit…it can respond to the patient in their language which is a big benefit if you don't have enough translators to go around.
Don't get me wrong, interactivity is a great thing. I love it but I'm a bit of a nerd and like the technology. I don't mind fighting with the remote to make it do what I want however your patients may not. But there are different levels of interactivity and the key is to find a solution that is easy to use and matches up well with your patient population and your staff. If patients find a system hard to use or complicated in any way they won't use it. If they won't use it, it's money down the drain and extra work on your nursing staff.
Does this mean that you should never consider interactivity with your interactive patient education system? No, it's possible complex interactivity may be right for your facility, we just want you to think about what you really want in a system, why you want it and what impact it may have on your staff and patients.

Dante Fowler Jr. DE/LB Florida #6
Wt: 261
All of our scouting reports are available to our premium members. If you would like access to our 2015 scouting reports, click here to sign up.
Overview: Fowler is a dominant pass-rusher and has the tools to excel immediately in that capacity in the NFL. Florida lines him up all over the field and he's able to fight his way into the backfield from everywhere. However, he is still developing his ability to hold up at the point of attack in the run game, and may be viewed as a liability in that area. He's definitely in the first-round conversation and could rise into the top 10.
