- Mark Dunn, VP IMGworks SoC Services
"Our mobile application processor SOCs and the market we serve, requires differentiation in terms of low-power and low cost. Integrating a MIPI interface reduces system power and allows for easier interoperability. But we needed a mixed-signal partner that could deliver with certainty." He continued, "Cosmic brought both good technology as well as a supportive team that we could rely on. We are happy that Cosmic's IP integrated into our chip and fabricated at TSMC has worked first pass. Overall, Mtek's experience with Cosmic and TSMC has been smooth and rewarding"
- Moon Kabju, Director of R&D
We required silicon-proven Analog-IP to integrate into our ASIC designed in an advanced technology node. Cosmic Circuits was ready with proven silicon IP that we could leverage. Their IP was compact and flexible, and the SOC integration went very smooth. The IP worked first-pass on our Silicon and enabled us to deliver to our customers. In the competitive market that we are in, certainty in achieving time-to-market and quality is very important for us, while not sacrificing on differentiation. Cosmic was a perfect fit for us"
- Dr. Ken Ohta, CEO
"We procured a specialty PLL IP from Cosmic Circuits that was customized to with stand our noisy on-chip environment. Moreover, it had to be ported to a specialty process technology. It integrated easily into our chip-flow. Soon after the silicon arrived, we were extremely pleased to find that their PLL IP worked to perfection. The flexible support from the engineers at Cosmic was indeed useful and timely. Great job, guys."
- Erez Sperling, V.P R&D
"We achieved customer projects' successes of nanometer system-on-chips using Cosmic's IP cores, and Cosmic enabled many of our differentiated analog needs quite effectively. The consumer convergence markets that our customers are after puts pressure on us and our IP suppliers to reduce die-size, even while integrating more of the BOM components. Over many engagements, we found Cosmic delivering consistently, helping us meet our cost and time-to-market goals with certainty. Their expertise in analog, their strong portfolio, and their strong customer-orientation have been the reasons behind our continual engagements. We look forward to more such partnerships with Cosmic."
- Wuhan Lu, V.P Product Marketing
"For us, Analog IP quality is foremost, and our SoC solution required low-power and low-voltage as well. We trusted Cosmic Circuits to leverage their technology to offer us a best-in-class IP in a short time. We were happy to find that they delivered to their commitments in all aspects. A professionally run and talented Analog IP provider that can be trusted."
- Jaswinder Singh, Chip Design Director

Chapter One
The Shift
The day after Christmas, a horrific tsunami hit Southeast Asia, creating a natural and human disaster of biblical proportions. Disease and destruction lay in the wake of the giant wave, flooding and taking lives in eleven countries to the scale of Noah's time. But the animals sensed it was coming and were mysteriously saved. Ancient tribesmen, observant of nature's force, also strangely avoided destruction. But the cities . . . the tourists, all lay in ruins.
Humanity is now studying the instinctual nature of the animal kingdom. Tribal elders were asked how they knew, but their simplistic answers baffled scientists until debunked.
People in the fishing villages feared to eat the sea's yield, even while starving . . . so many bodies were in the water, and they reasoned that the fish had feasted upon that which the waters took.
Beyond the human suffering of more than a hundred and fifty thousand known dead, thousands missing, and millions left homeless and destitute with food shortages and tainted water, the power of the event actually shifted the planet—the Earth's poles moved to the east by a full inch, and time stopped for several milliseconds. It moved to the east . . . to the east . . . the east . . . perhaps east of Eden.
We do not yet know how this will influence the Earth's position amongst its planetary brethren. What we do know, however, is that everything in the universe is a fragile balance, like that of an immaculately designed Swiss watch. Move one part and misalign one gear, and then what? Astrologers have yet to weigh in on this matter, nor has the traditional scientific community. They simply have no answers.
All this while in the United States, Southern California has been deluged by unrelenting rains and the normally arid region was also covered by a blanket of snow . . . over one hundred and fifty inches has fallen on the Sierra Mountains . . . snow has even covered the desert region—Nevada . . . Texas and the Midwest experienced driving snowstorms . . . the Ohio Valley was covered in ice and floodwaters, forcing evacuations . . . this after four back-to-back hurricanes just devastated Florida's coast and the Caribbean, then one came that virtually wiped New Orleans off the map. Still there were more hurricanes, floods, tornados . . . forces of nature, also known by insurance companies as acts of God.
And, yet the world is still at war. Not even these cataclysmic events were enough to give mankind pause. In the ongoing human conflict, no one seemed to remember that even time stood still. The planet was rocked off its axis for milliseconds, but warring factions around the globe didn't seem to give a damn. They just kept on fighting, shooting, and blowing each other up. The stern warning is not being heeded.

Going to a number one of Google SERP is the target for every internet marketer in this world. But what does that really mean? For example, my blog on Internet marketing and optimization for search engines is currently on the first page of Google for the phrase "how to be number one in Google" but it does make me get traffic? Not really, the vast Most of my traffic are people looking for "fake URL "or" unlock nokia 6230i ", so … I can make money with it? Yes I do, but only a little. Let me explain …
There are more websites on the Internet than there are people on the planet. The difference between people and web pages is that web pages are much easier to find than people. If you are looking for a man 7 feet with a Scottish leg, who speaks Danish, English and Japanese, he would research to find this man, but I bet one or two guys around you who fit that description!
Secondly, if you are looking for something obscure Google as making and honey in the Orkney Islands, then you might just 37,000 results for it. Most Internet marketers will tell you that key phrases with less than 300,000 results are a child and are easy to classify them, and overall, they're right. To prove this point, looking for my sentence above … "Beekeeping and making honey in the Orkney Islands" with the quotes and I assure you this article will be number one, not because it is on beekeeping and honey, but because the only time never a mention on the Internet is here in this article.
OK, so now I have explained how the number one Google for, and the answer is, but what you have to do is work that the issue was. It goes something like 'what is the meaning that people tend to find that nobody else has ever thought? ".
It's actually not as hard and as mysterious as I touched it appear I'm just trying to get your interest to give you more curious on how I work and how you think of when you want to be on the first page of Google.

I've been using the Ladybird and the Super FP to teach beginners lately (after they master the V911). The Ladybird is a lot of tun (I fly it the most out of all the helis in my fleet) but to prepare you for CP helis, the FP would probably teach you much more.
Here is the Super FP review if you would like to use it as reference The Genius FP is not a good choice as there is a design problem that makes maintenance very hard to do. (if you break the landing gear, you have to replace the WHOLE frame)... As to the CPs, again the Mini CP is a great choice..but the Genius CP isn't. That said, the Genius CP main motor is quite efficient so I suggest swapping it out. as to the others..I don't have too much experience..so I'll leave that to others for comment. |

I agree with erdnuckel that the attraction of the sp 100 is the low price. sure, the sp 125 looks a lot more refined, but it is also scarce. and what about parts?
for me, once the price exceeds $150, I'd be more interested in the mcpx even with a dx4. you can always sell the dx4 and pick up a dx6i. |

Beyond the Bush Doctrine: American Hegemony and World Order

Title | Beyond the Bush Doctrine: American Hegemony and World Order |
Author | Griffiths, Martin |
Journal Name | Australasian Journal of American Studies |
Editor | Jan Pilditch, Tom Dunning |
Year Published | 2004 |
Place of publication | Australia |
Publisher | Australian and New Zealand American Studies Association |
Abstract | This article elaborates the changing nature of American hegemony in international relations, and assesses the Bush Administration's determination to change the basis of US hegemony in the context of its proclaimed 'war on terror'. I argue that the Administration's grand strategy is self-defeating, threatening the status of the United States as a benign hegemon without enhancing its security. However, on the assumption that the neo-conservative influence over American foreign policy will wane in the coming months and years, the United States can still take advantage of its unprecedented power to promote a more sustainable world order. The paper begins with an examination of American hegemony in international relations. I then discuss the manner in which the terms of that hegemony have been changed by the current Administration under the guise of the war on terror. The third section is a critical analysis of American grand strategy, and the article concludes with an assessment of the conditions under which the United States can sustain its dwindling hegemony in the years to come. |

User Review: Mountain Hardwear Men's Phantom Vest
Price Paid: $100
Just got it on sale (30% off) in Bend, Oregon, at a really awesome independent mountaineering/backpacking store there. I used it that afternoon on the summit of Tumalo Mtn. in some breezy, chilly conditions followng a fast dash on snowshoes getting there.
My intention was acquiring something for immediate warmth following an intense aerobic hike to a hilltop, summit, or maybe a rest stop enroute. It exceeded my overall expectations!
In addition to instant warmth, it packs into a really tiny stuff sack that's smaller and lighter than almost any other single piece of gear or clothing. If it's like my other Mtn. Hardwear garments, I'll still be raving over it for some time.

Eeeehhh ... Some things are opinion, and other things are fact. Fact is that this had better CGI then LOTR. It would be like comparing 'Return of the Jedi' with Revenge of the Sith' .... Opinion - Return of the Jedi is the far better movie ... Fact - Revenge of the Sith CGI is leaps and bounds better. (And if you say that's unfair then even Phantom Menace VS ROTJ, Phantom Menace would still win CGI-wise)
I'll give you that moment though, when he's getting chased on the Sled and he like goes past 2 Outcrops and then the Sled does like a 'Flick' at the Camera and you see his cape kind of 'Pop out' in 3D. That was probably the one (And only) moment where I did cringe at the CGI. But Trolls in ROTK VS the 3 in The Hobbit? Smaug VS Felbeasts? Wargs VS Wargs? .. I could go on, but the CGI is most certainly better in The Hobbit.

1 reviewPaul Smith (F) 50ml EDP Spray
Paul Smith Rose is an elegant floral fragrance that's fresh and individual, modern and memorable.
It was first presented in 2006 at the Chelsea Flower Show and no blooms are harvested, crushed and distilled in the creation process – instead the living flower is isolated in a glass bell and equipment 'inhales' the scent.
This alluring scent opens with rose notes along with violet and green tea before evolving into a heart of Turkish rose and magnolia, before the sensual base brings cedar and musk accords.
The elegant glass bottle and rosé accord will impress on any dressing table and it also comes in a stylish presentation box.

Students benefit from HOPE Plus
Augusta, Ga. – Sometimes, even a Georgia lottery-funded HOPE Scholarship isn't enough to take care of all the costs associated with a college education. Tuition and books are covered, but more is typically needed to balance the financial situation of some students at the top of their high school class.
That's where HOPE Plus comes in. The creation of Vic Mills, CEO of Blanchard & Calhoun Commercial, HOPE Plus is a program that takes eight economically challenged high school graduates from the Augusta area and provides them with what they need to have a successful college experience at Augusta State University. The program incorporates community philanthropists who help fill in the gaps not covered by the HOPE Scholarship. As a result of the program, a valedictorian and salutatorian will get to pursue higher education this fall, something they considered out of reach.
"The kids are still kind of wowed that they can go to college without having to borrow money and go into debt," says Larry Hornsby, one of the program's organizers.
The eight students in this year's program won't have to worry about expenses like housing, food, school supplies, clothing, health care, and transportation, some things that often get in the way of deserving high school students enrolling in college. But the program also has more than just a financial aim. The students will be housed together at University Village, building a peer support system. They will receive mentoring and financial advice from Dr. Hornsby and will be assigned a part-time campus job to build financial responsibility and work experience.
HOPE Plus is going a long way to help some disadvantaged students succeed, but it also provides a feeling of satisfaction to those lending a helping hand.
"The students feel like they are getting an opportunity that they would not have had, so it's nice to see the looks on their faces," says Dr. Hornsby.

Alaska / Horizon Air Complaint - Furious - Flying
Review by
Comments (8)
Last night, I set three alarms to wake me up at precisely 4:00AM for my 6:30AM flight from San Jose Minetta Airport to Seattle/Tacoma. I woke up on time with a bit of a struggle, but regardless, I reach the airport at 5:00AM. There was horrific traffic and slow-ass drivers who couldn't drive to save their life, hence me arriving 30 minutes later than expected.
Anyways, I get into the airport only to find it extremely jam-packed; I casually tap on a shoulder of a Caucasian woman holding her baby boy and ask her if she's checking in for the Seattle flight. She replies with obvious frustration and says that they will soon cut off the line at a certain point and declare that those who were on flight AS351 were not going to get through. I was rather surprised and irritated that they didn't give priority to those were desperate to hop on the plane to Seattle. So, I decide to be proactive and ask the people at the counter, who apparently already got harassed by many of the pissed off people who couldn't get a seat on the plane to Seattle. I asked kindly and softly if they could just squeeze ONE person in. But boy, were they rude and curt.
My cell phone rings, and it's my dad. He's anxious to know if I made it on time. At first I was reluctant to pick it up, because I knew I was in for an earful the second the lady told me that I was going to be able to catch the 351 flight. My dad kept on yelling and lecturing the whole time I was waiting in line, and I was really stressed out. He kept pressuring me to bother the people at the counter, but people were already bombarding them with their mean comments and complaints. After 45 minutes, he gives up and tells me to call him back when I sort things out. Afterwards, I arrived at the counter and asked yet again if she could still squeeze me in, and she gave a rude "no". I tried to ask her if she could put me on the next plane, but unfortunately, all of them were on standby or either completely booked. So, I decided to give the flight from San Jose to Portland, WA a shot. I was put on the standby list.
After she checked in my luggage, I practically sprinted to the security area, where yet ANOTHER long line formed. Then, I hustled to the C10 gate and asked the lady if she could squeeze me in. She said she did not know at that time, and that I probably would not be able to get in. I waited for another 30 minutes only to be disappointed since every single person was on that plane. Again, I approached the counter with a hopeless face set on, and the lady just booked me a fight for tomorrow night at 8:35PM.
There's Alaska/Horizon Air for you.

sounds like ya scr**ed up and missed the flights.
Posted by MRM on 2007-12-22:
Since your flight is re-booked at 8:30 at night, and not 6:30 in the morning, you surely wont have any trouble getting to the airport on time.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-12-22:
You are furious at yourself for not allowing enough time, right?
Posted by Principissa on 2007-12-22:
Why are you mad at them? You should be mad at yourself for not waking up in enough time to get to the airport. The check-in time is stated on your tickets, the website, and they tell you at the counter on a sign. They want you to be 2-3 hours early for domestic, and 3-5 hours for international. Sorry, but you have nobody to blame but yourself. Prepare better next time.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-12-22:
You have no one to blame, but yourself. This is a very busy time of year for the airports. Next time, maybe you'll give yourself more time.
Posted by LeeSee on 2007-12-22:
I hate to say it, but you really did deserve the lecture your Dad gave you. Chalk it up as a learning experience. Next year you will know to either book a later flight or get up earlier.
Posted by mommyof2boys on 2007-12-22:
I've flown Alaska Airlines many many times (used to live in Barrow, you have to fly in) and never had a problem with them... I actually loved flying with them over other companies. I'd say next time you want to make sure you're on a flight, you sleep near the ticket counter if it's that hard to get up.
Posted by spiderman2 on 2007-12-22:
You got to the airport an hour and a half early during holiday travel time and you can't figure out why you missed your flight? Last time I flew at 7:30AM we left at 2Am to make a 2 hour drive to make sure we were in line and had plenty of time.

The next school year will bring both a new principal and a new assistant principal to Goshen High School, both of whom have very long histories serving as educators and leaders within the Goshen Community Schools system.
The news was announced during a meeting of the Goshen Board of School Trustees Monday evening, where GCS Assistant Superintendent Barry Younghans was named as the official replacement of current GHS Principal Jim Kirkton, who will be retiring effective June 30 following a 40-year career in education.
Joining Younghans at the high school next fall will be current Goshen Middle School Principal Ann Eaton, who was officially named as assistant principal of the school during Monday's meeting.
Barry Younghans
Younghans is currently entering his 26th year in education, all but four of which has been spent with Goshen Community Schools.
"I started here in 1987," Younghans said. "My wife taught here at the time, and I was going to graduate school. So I went to graduate school, came back, and realized that a guy with a master's degree and no experience wasn't a whole lot of help to anyone. So I started subbing and really just kind of fell in love with it."
Younghans ended up subbing for a year before being hired on to the athletic department at what today would be know as Goshen Middle School.
"At the time it was actually two separate middle schools," Younghans said. "So I basically subbed and worked in those areas for a year."
Younghans would continue teaching at the middle school level for the next four years before beginning a four year stint as Director of Athletics at Fairfield High School from 1993 to 1997.
"Then I came back and was assistant principal at GMS for four years, and then became principal at Chandler Elementary for two years," Younghans said. "After that is when I came up to central office as Executive Director of Support Services. Then the last four years or so I've been working as Executive Director of Secondary Education, and most recently as Assistant Superintendant in charge of education."
When asked about the move to GHS, Younghans said he couldn't be more thrilled, noting that while he has enjoyed his time with the central office, his true passion has always been working with students.
"There's a certain amount of energy you get working with kids," Younghans said. "This is a great place to work, but it's a business office. You don't have a lot of interaction with kids. So yeah, I'm really looking forward to being around the kids all the time."
In addition to the students, Younghans said he is also excited about getting to work with the staff at GHS.
"They are great teachers," Younghans said. "I'm really anxious to watch them instruct students, because they're just really great at their jobs."
Younghans currently lives in Goshen with his wife, Lisa, a math teacher at GMS. Together they have four children.
"My daughter is a junior at Valparaiso University studying education, and my oldest son will be a freshman at Valparaiso University in the fall, where he'll also be studying education," Younghans said. "Then next year I'll have a junior and a sophomore at Goshen High School."
So how are the kids feeling about having their dad as their high school principal?
"They're OK actually. I've talked to them about it," Younghans said. "I'm pretty visible in their building right now anyway, and actually one of the nice things for me is that I know a lot of their friends, and I know a lot of kids from Goshen High School from coaching. I know a fair number of kids, so that also will be a nice connection for me."
Ann Eaton
Eaton is currently entering her 43rd year as an educator, the last 15 of which have been spent under the Goshen Community Schools banner.
"I started in Goshen as the eighth-grade assistant principal at Goshen Middle School in August 1997, and I was promoted to principal in 2005," Eaton said. "Barry was actually seventh-grade assistant principal at the same time, so we have a long history of working together."
While she admits that she will miss the energy inherent in working with middle school students, Eaton said she can't help but be excited about the prospect of something new.
"I'm very excited about it," Eaton said of the change. "I know a lot of the kids already, because 99 percent of them came through Goshen Middle School. So that will help. And then I also know a lot of the staff members, and I'm very excited about working with Barry, because he and I, we have a great working relationship."
Jane Troup, vice president of the school board, couldn't agree more.
"I think it's awesome," Troup said of the pairing of Younghans and Eaton following the announcement of their appointments Monday night. "I think they're going to make a great team."
Eaton currently lives in Elkhart with her husband, Jim. Together they have five children.

LiquidityHub, the London-based electronic trading consortium, has signed agreements to distribute its liquidity in the interest rate swap and US Treasury bond markets across the Reuters and Bloomberg trading platforms.
The agreement means the liquidity of the consortium's 15 banks will eventually be accessible to others in the interest rate swap and US Treasury bond markets via the Reuters and Bloomberg platforms. LiquidityHub previously said it anticipates a launch in mid-2007. It is also planning to introduce a new electronic trading protocol, 'Request for Stream', over which buy-side firms would be able to view real-time executable prices rather than static ones.Robert MacLeod, the venture's chief executive, said: "Electronic trading in the fixed-income markets continues to grow in importance with dealers and their clients, and we believe the interest rate swap market is the next logical place for electronic trading to have a meaningful impact."
LiquidityHub aims to pool the fixed-income liquidity of major dealers electronically. It now consists of 15 US and European banks, with the addition of ABN Amro, HSBC and Société Générale Corporate and Investment Banking. LiquidityHub said it plans to expand its remit to encompass European government bonds at a later date, and is expected to broaden its scope still further.
The group was formed in July 2006, after banks' negotiations with Bloomberg for a similar electronic liquidity-aggregation scheme broke down. The data provider had spearheaded the initial drive to pool liquidity in interest rate swaps, although its revived involvement sees it in a more modest role.

Chevron - Inquiry-based Classroom Reasoning for Experiential and Active Science Education (Chevron – INCREASE)
Thailand has continued to suffer from the lack of skilled workers, trained in science fields, especially in engineering and technology. K.I.Asia and Chevron share this same concern and agree that science is important for the country's development, especially in preparation for AEC. The current educational system utilizing memorization as the main method of teaching cannot develop a sustainable, progressive education for Thais. Inquiry-based learning curriculums for science and math subjects will create a solid foundation for Thai students and will help produce quality manpower for the country's economic, social and environmental development in the future.

Will he do this to save bball?
Will he do this to save bball?
He will have to at this point unless we pull about five rabbits out of the hat this week.
No, unless he hates his job.
He'll lose a lot of Football season ticket holders if he does. I live out of state and can take time to make 6 home games a year on weekends. There is no way that I could make enough b-ball games to justify the additional season tickets and would not buy either. Winter traffic and weeknight games being the biggest reasons.
At most we can sell 13k season tickets for basketball, right? Thats including students and assuming every tickets in Hilton goes to a season ticket holder.
So to be able to qualify for football tickets, you have to buy basketball tickets. What your saying is that you want ISU to only sell, at most, 13k season football tickets?
Seriously, some of you need to think before you post...
No. But I can see him putting in a promotion like Get mens basketball tickets for 50% if you buy fb season tickets.
Hey, we should also make B-ball ticket holders buy Olympic Sport season tickets. Then we would be swimming in the money (no pun intended...really).
Don't they have some sort of point system right now that determines your seating priority? I was thinking it took into account your donation level as well as how many seats you have for each sport and how many years you have held them. In a way, this would already reward you for purchasing bball ticketes by bumping up your seats in other sports, without actually making it a hard requirement.
That said, this wouldn't be without precident. I believe KU requires one to buy football season tics in order to buy bball. Of course it just naturally works better that direction than the other way around due to the size of the venues, and in the case of KU, the demand of each sport.
Why not raise football ticket prices and give away the bball tickets for the kids in the family. If you buy a women's bball ticket, you get free men's tickets. If you buy a 2010-11 package, you get a 2015-16 package at half price when realmbball returns.
Sell mini package bball packages that come with free food like walking tacos.
JP can get innovative like very other salesman.
I think to sell any tickets for bball next year they will have to come up with ridiculous promotions. Buy a season ticket and you receive free season tickets to wrestling, volleyball, gymnastics, soccer, women's bball, etc....
They may have to get George White involved with offering of free services or possibly free cars. Sadly that may not be enough. :confused:
:wink:If you win the lottery for the week, you get to sit on the bench and maybe play in the game.:smile:

Rugles - 10:27 pm on Feb 8, 2011 (gmt 0)
Long story short. Our company had a legit check to a supplier stolen out of the mail.
The people who stole it took all the information off the check and reproduced new high quality fake checks using the banking information on our real check (or cheque as I normally write it ;-) ).
A month ago, somebody in the Bronx tried to cash one of these fake checks for 30 grand. Our bank stopped it after it was deposited. So we are not out any money. We closed the account shortly after.
Today, another one of these fake checks for 90 grand shows up in Florida. The person who received the check contacted us. Turns out he was doing the reverse Nigerian on the scammers.
It started when he replied to an email from them. They offered to give him 10% for acting as a go between for our company and some bogus agricultural company in Europe and Africa. They provided him all these bogus documents detailing our "contract" between the two companies.
They offer him 10% of any checks he can cash. They gave a place to forward to the 90% to in Texas. Obviously this guy in Florida and the other guy in the Bronx will be on the hook when the check bounces.
But, this scam was all by email.

MIAMI (AP) - A public hunt for Burmese pythons in the Everglades yielded 68 of the invasive snakes, the longest measuring more than 14 feet long, Florida wildlife officials said Saturday.
That might not seem like a success, considering roughly 1,600 people signed up for the state-sponsored Python Challenge that ended Sunday, but Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials said the hunt may have prevented thousands more pythons from being born in the Everglades.
Female pythons can lay as many as 100 eggs at a time.
"In our view that number - the number that were harvested, taken out of the ecosystem - was an unprecedented number of samples that will help us answer questions about pythons and make us more effective at tackling this problem, removing them from the system. We're going to learn so much," said Nick Wiley, executive director of the wildlife commission.
The highly publicized hunt probably generated more attention-grabbing headlines than snakeskins. Wildlife officials say that was their goal: to raise awareness about the threat pythons and other invasive species pose to native wildlife.
Researchers say pythons are eating their way through the Everglades, decimating populations of native mammals. The snakes can grow more than 20 feet in length, and they have no predators, other than the humans desperately trying to control their population.
Most of the registrants were amateurs lacking the permits usually required to harvest pythons. Two Tennessee men who had been sleeping in their car while hunting had to be rescued by helicopter when they became stranded and disoriented, but most hunters emerged from the Everglades unscathed, if empty-handed.
Ruben Ramirez of Miami and his Florida Python Hunters team won $1,500 for bagging 18 pythons, the most caught by any of the permit holders. He also won prizes for bringing in the two longest snakes to be caught by any of the permit holders. Both those snakes stretched longer than 10 feet.
Brian Barrows of Fort Myers led the competition for amateur hunters, winning $1,500 for harvesting six snakes. His friend, Paul Shannon of Lehigh Acres, won $1,000 for catching a python measuring 14 feet 3 inches long.
The big snake caught Shannon's eye as it slithered through the mud. It didn't like being pulled out and lunged at a friend, Shannon said. Two gunshots to its head finally stopped it.
"When it jumped at him and he dropped it and dove in the bushes, I came around and it was coiled up. The coil was 4 feet wide," he said. "The head was as big as my hand. I have nightmares about that vision of it coiled up, ready to strike again."
The other snakes caught by Barrow and Shannon's team ranged from 7 feet to 9 feet long. On six separate days during the monthlong hunt, they pointed Shannon's airboat toward remote tree islands, looking for snakes sunning themselves on dry land.
"To see one that massive, it was shocking," Barrows said. "You always think these things don't exist out there, and they do. They're out there and they're big."
University of Florida researchers are examining all the harvested snakes, hoping to learn more about the splotchy, tan animal that's hard to see in the Everglades. State wildlife officials will be surveying all the registrants about their methods and the amount of time they spent looking for pythons.
Increasing the number of human python hunters may not be Florida's only option in the ongoing effort to control the snake population. Researchers at Auburn University have been exploring the use of dogs to sniff out pythons.
In a controlled experiment that sent humans and dogs in search of pythons outfitted with radio transmitters, Labrador retrievers previously trained to sniff for bombs did a better job of finding all the snakes, even the smallest ones that were just a foot long, said Christina Romagosa of Auburn's School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences.
