Hotel Trend: Poolside Treats for Grown-Ups
There's nothing wrong with sipping a beer or biting into a burger and salty fries by the pool, those are classic, poolside indulgences we've all succumbed to before. But some hotels have started to offer luxury treats for grown-ups. From Mojito Sno-Cones to pedicures there are little afternoon pleasures to be had at hotels from Aruba to Mexico, the perfect pairing to all that sun worshipping. Here are 9 poolside delights that are new this summer. All hotels that still think offering sushi rolls by the pool is new and hip should take heed...
What: Mojito Sno Cones
Where: Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino, Aruba
Mojito sno-cones are available only at the new adults-only pool (dubbed H2Oasis) at Aruba Marriott, which debuted in November and offers WiFi, plush cabanas and a full bar at its 10,000-square-foot terrace. The pool is just steps from the sand and a stylish gem at this 411-room resort, featuring coral-stone pavement and glass mosaic tiles. Not a Mojito fan? There are other alcoholic sno-cones on the menu: banana, strawberry, or raspberry.
What: Massages
Where: Vdara Hotel & Spa, Las Vegas, Nevada
From inside a secluded cabana at Vdara Hotel & Spa, pick from a menu of four 25-minute poolside massages—full-body aromatherapy, hand and foot massage with cold stones, back/neck/shoulder massage, or scalp massage—or choose a 50-minute acupressure full-body massage. Available Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm, these massages (provided by Spa & Salon Vdara) use an all-natural skincare line called Akhassa.
What: Artisan ice-cream sandwiches
Where: Omni Hotels & Resorts
Ice-cream sandwiches were never this fabulous! Cult-favorite ice-cream purveyor Coolhaus, an ice cream purveyor with trucks in LA; Austin, Texas; Miami; and New York City (a storefront just opened in the Culver City area of LA), partnered with Omni Hotels & Resorts this summer to offer three tantalizing options by the pool: Classic Tahitian Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich, Dirty Mint Chip Ice Cream (made with mint leaves) with Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich, and Brown Buttered Candied Bacon Ice Cream with Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich.There are 50 Omni Hotels' properties throughout North America, from the beaches of San Diego to Amelia Island, Florida, and Cancun and Montreal too.
What: Mini Brownies and Mini Cappuccinos
Where: Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills
Afternoon breaks are perfect when they incorporate a jolt of java, and at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills you get that (mini cappuccinos) and mini fudge brownies while lounging by the pool, which is hidden in this 285-room property. If you want a little respite from the hectic pace in the City of Angels, hunker down in one of six poolside cabanas (available to rent). Otherwise, relaxing among the tropical plants surrounding the pool is kosher—and the espresso incentive is a great way to store up energy for a night out on the town.
What: Fresh Fruit Popsicles
Where: Esperanza An Auberge Resort, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Available poolside at Esperanza An Auberge Resort, these gourmet Mexican popsicles (called paletas) are made at the resort using fresh fruit. Choose from beach-inspired flavors like mango, strawberry, coconut, lime, and tamarind. To pair with your sweet treat, take a dip in the resort's beachfront infinity pool which capitalizes on its perch along the Pacific Ocean.
What: Spiked Sno-Cones
Where: Gansevoort Park Avenue, New York City
Alcohol-infused sno-cones at the Gansevoort Park Avenue rooftop bar are prepared in a classic machine that crushes the ice before a bartender adds his or her twist on a cocktail. Choose from Mojito, Margarita, or Cosmopolitan Sno-cones. The hotel's rooftop bar on the 20th floor celebrates its second summer this year, featuring a 40-foot heated indoor/outdoor pool boasting views of the Empire State Building. New this year: a ping-pong table for the sundeck.
What: Poolside Pedicures
Where: W Austin, Austin, Texas
At the W Austin you don't have to forego a sunny afternoon to get a pedicure. The new poolside-pedicure service from AWAY Spa is conducted in a private cabana at the fourth-floor WET Deck overlooking the Olympic-size saltwater pool. Included in the pedicure treatment is a cocktail from WET Deck's bar and you're encouraged to hang out afterward to enjoy the pool's beverage and food service and access to the spa, steam rooms, and gym even if you are not an overnight guest.
What: Mojito Popsicles and Foot Massages
Where: Costa d'Este Beach Resort, Vero Beach, Florida
Singer Gloria Estefan's 94-room resort Costa D'Este Beach Resort, which opened in 2008 and hugs the Atlantic Ocean, believes in pampering under the sun. As a guest you can book a poolside foot massage and enjoy handcrafted Mojito popsicles that continue the Cuban vibe at this property, which reflects Estefan's Cuban heritage.
What: Jello Shots
Where: Fairmont Newport Beach, Newport Beach, California
Forget college parties: this time, Jello shots are served in style. Available at Fairmont Newport Beach's third-floor pool (Palms Pool, decked out with tropical plants and VIP cabanas stocked with flat-screen TVs) daily since early June, flavors are rotated weekly. Two popular flavors are rum and cherry, and tequila and lime. Whether you're tucked into a private cabana or lounging by the pool, it's all good. The Jello shots are also available during the hotel's summer-themed party each Sunday through Labor Day with DJs, live bands, and a genuine pool-party atmosphere.

Definitely food for thought. I felt the ref. did an adequate job, but in hindsight maybe he should've stopped it earlier. If anyone's at fault George's corner is probably the culprit. If Stevenson stops dropping his hands, I might now become a believer. As you said, George was too scared of Stevenson's power in the earlier rounds to let his hands go. Agreed. I heard George say that he couldn't find Stevenson, so that may have been the case as well. The pain was written on his face. Just to be on the safe side I checked my side too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I felt a bit winded myself. |

Twofer Wednesday
In the interview he has some interesting things to say to advisors about making sure they try to understand how risk and volatility work (I have no idea how good his understanding is).
He goes on to say a couple of other things that I think are overly simplistic. He says "The financial advisory community has fallen hook, line, and sinker for the Wall Street propaganda that every investor should have at least 10 percent of their assets in commodities" which he says is unfortunate. He notes that commodities have generally gone down in price over long periods of time so owning them, in that light, is not ideal.
Well I've never been in the 10% camp so I do not quibble with that. The interview does not cite the period of time he is talking about. He made a comment about how long it took to break even in gold for anyone who bought at the high. If part of the reason to own commodities is that they usually have a low correlation to equities and equities had a massive super cycle to the upside from 1982 to 2000 then a poor result in commodities is far from a black swan. Without knowing the time period he had in mind, from a performance standpoint commodities were not important for most of the 1980s or the 1990s.
However during this past decade they were very important as US equities dropped 24% pricewise. Ten years ago gold was around $300 versus a little over $1000 now, Copper was a little less than a dollar versus about $3 now and soy beans more than doubled.
In thinking about commodities for the next decade will they matter or not? To figure that out do you want to rely on what happened in the 1980s or do a forward looking analysis on supply and demand trends around the world? Asset allocation and portfolio construction is not as simple as people like Zweig make it out to be (in his articles anyway, I've never read one of his books).
The other item came from a reader who asked if I've compared returns of stocks I've picked versus ETFs. It is not that simple. Not every stock lends itself to an easy comparison to an ETF. Yesterday I mentioned my Brazil stock, which is Vale (VALE), had lagged EWZ last year but has beaten it in other years. Over five years (I've held it a little longer than that) VALE is about 50% ahead of EWZ. Additionally I sold some in the mid to low $30s in early 2008 so how would I compare the two? I own a Brazilian stock because I do not want to own Brazilian financials and EWZ is heavy in financials.
I've disclosed owning Caterpillar (CAT) which has generally outperformed the Industrial Sector SPDR (XLI) but it doesn't always. However I traded it a couple of times along the way so comparisons are difficult. One name that has not worked out so well is China Mobile (CHL). I bought way below its high but it is down from where I bought it. I'm not sure there is an ETF that makes for an easy comparison. Part of the reason I chose it is that I want to avoid financial companies from China. In the time I've owned it it has done about the same as FXI but even if it had lagged badly I am unwilling to risk client money in Chinese financials.
Up to this point the conversation has ignored the concept of risk adjusted return. In a properly diversified portfolio some stocks could be thought of a volatility dampeners so with those beating something is not necessarily the goal. I recently disclosed swapping Monsanto for MOO. These two probably are more of a direct comparison in the context that the reading is asking. As I disclosed however, MON started out better than MOO and then lagged. MOO went down much more during the worst of the bear and so bounced back a lot more and so while these two might be comparable I am not sure the action taken allows for a comparison.
To repeat it just isn't that simple.

Commodities are a zero sum game. Winners and losers sum to zero. At the end of the day a pound of copper is still a pound of copper.
Stocks represent companies that can expand, innovate, etc. stock holders winners and losers are not a zero sum game as the companies become more valuable over time.
This is why many of us like stocks and do not like commodities, but from a trading perspective commodities have been doing well for a decade and will continue to do well for years to come.
Yes I knowingly ignored commodity stocks for illustration purposes. But over a 100 years commodities are usually not a good bet even if they have their moments.

"Commodities are a zero sum game. Winners and losers sum to zero. At the end of the day a pound of copper is still a pound of copper."
To follow your argument to its end, you should go all in on commodities. 'cause we'll run out. and right before we run out, you'll get ridiculously rich. - 9:11 AM

That said, the truth lies somewhere between the "omg don't own it" and the "omg own it" camps.
I think it was Arnot who did a long term study of commodities, esp. gold, for Financial Planning magazine. Over the long haul, commodities ARE a zero sum game when inflation is taken into account. However, as Roger says, they tend to have low correlation with equities. So having a small portion of your portfolio (I believe the suggestion was 3%, not more than 5%) in commodities reduces overall portfolio volatility and can therefore slightly improve your return. - 9:14 AM
- WH said...
As an agricultural producer, I find that I am in agreement with Zweig. Agricultural commodity futures (as I presume is the case for other futures markets) exist to transfer price risk from one party to another. Real long term profts in the underlying business don't normally occur in commodity prices per se, but though innovative technology and improvements in production methods. I would also caution against looking at a chart of commodity futures and trying extrappolate anything out of it. Markets are heavily influenced by completely unpredictable natural and political events. Just look at the impact the ethanol craze has had. I would also wager that the public really has no idea how much USDA farm policy impacts prices and planting decisions.
I know from Zweig's writings that he is an investor and not a speculator. If the long term real returns of commodities as an investment class has been negative, I for one cannot disagree with him to exclude that class from a portfolio. As you like to say Roger, the risk is in not having the money when you need it. - 9:16 AM

Goodness gracious, my spelling and grammar is atrocious! Apologies to everyone.

I know that this may be implied by others --- but just wanted to mention that its not enough that something simply be non-correlated to be included in a portfolio. It also needs to have positive expected return. So that is the more important question, imo. (one which I have no answer of course, up to the investor to decide that).
But separate from that -- one other issue with commodities is that they are both 1) quite volatile and 2) generally quite sensitive to the overall economy -- which is what the stock market is sensitive to. In times of crisis, its been shown over and over again that correlations generally rise, so that you thought you were getting non-correlation, but instead you just get a more volatile asset that delivers an even larger drawdown for your portfolio. An excellent example is what just happened with crude oil in 2008, see images:

Stephen Drone,
Not my theory about commodities. This is commonly taught in economics courses I have taken. Winners and losers sum to zero.
Commodity stocks are a different issue as are stocks in general.

"Winners and losers sum to zero." is just, well, silly.
While literally you can make a case it's true, if it actually were true you wouldn't be here, since there'd be no reason to invest in anything that currently exists (savings accounts included). The only way to make money would be venture capitalism. - 1:18 PM
- WH said...
It is true that the net sum of winners and losers in commodity futures contracts is zero.
But then again, their purpose is to transfer price risk. The seller of a futres contract sets a floor on his price, while a buyer sets a ceiling. The only way out of a position is to buy or sell an offsetting position or to deliver or take delivery of the underlying commodity. - 1:41 PM

Question for everyone:
Isn't the practice of awarding CEO's and other executives huge stock awards, similiar to the printing of money?
Seems to me....the actual owners of the company, the shareholders, get screwed. - 1:51 PM
- RW said...
I use futures for hedging sometimes and volatility gives you lots of bang for the buck but futures or any other derivative based on a cash market has to be zero sum because it is a time-limit contract, typically on a specific spot price. Either the seller of the contract makes a premium or the buyer does, they can't both do it. It's more complicated than that in practice -- the seller might be a producer hedging a portion of what they produce so they could benefit even if the spot price was higher than the forward contract -- but the contract considered in isolation will have a winner and a loser.
As SEG points out, this is not the case with equities: They (and lots of other assets) have no set time limit and/or no specific cash market they are derived from so the sky's the limit given enough time. Stocks are often portrayed as a share in the ownership of a company but it would probably be more accurate to say a stock is a derivative of corporate earnings, priced at the present expected value of its future cash flows from operations (which expectation naturally, um, fluctuates).
But I suspect WH has more to add to the subject since (assuming he is the Anon I think he is) he uses Ag futures as part of his business. - 1:53 PM
- WH said...
People tend to cite John Husman a lot around here. Here is what he has to say on the subject:
"John Hussman: For the typical investor, I don't believe that a standard commodity allocation, a standard TIPS allocation, or a standard allocation to a lot of passive classes is a good idea. If you look at precious metals and precious-metals shares over the long run, they tend to have a negative beta. You would expect that the long-term return on those kinds of assets would look a lot like the long-term return on anything that has some insurance properties, which is that they provide relatively low sustained returns. So, I don't think investors do themselves a lot of good by having as a passive asset class a fixed allocation to precious metals or to a wide range of alternatives."

Thanks for the reply on the stocks versus ETF's question. It's not simple, that's why I asked. If you are successful at adding value on a risk adjusted basis by owning stocks instead of sectors, them there is hope for me. if not, i'm likely wasting my time. The drag on an ETF is less than 0.5%, and the diversification affords some protection from stock specific risk. I am a value investor, incorporating the tools you espouse for risk management. This is not real complicated. It also works out pretty well. But I'm not able to separate smart from lucky in my own portfolio. I have no control for comparison. Since you are managing multiple accounts, using a similar philosophical basis, you would be able to look at the value added component of stocks from etf's. I'm not challenging your stock picking abilities, but trying to assess if owing individual stocks have increased returns to your various portfolios over a pure etf portfolio. I've been studying volatility as a tool since you mentioned it several months ago. I've come to appreciate the power series appreciation in SDS, as a result of your posts.

Comments about Neotech Cable Wrap Kit:
This product does what it is suppossed to do - it holds cables together and does it very well. Unlike some other "one size fits all" velcro products, you can custom make these cable wraps exactly to your needs. I use them for my microphone cables, but because you assemble them for what you need, they would work great for any other cables in your gig bag. A great product.
Pretty basic stuff. It's not rocket science.
Sturdy and well designed.
A fair price.

The tone-customizing functionality has been improved as well. All patches, amps, and overdrive/distortions can be created from scratch and/or customized with the friendly graphical TONE GRID.
New Tonal Possibilities with the ACCEL Pedal
A new dimension of expression is available with the ACCEL pedal, which enables control of multiple parameters simultaneously, as well as time-variant effects such as FEEDBACKER, S-BEND, TWIST, etc. Experiment with creative combinations of parameters, interacting in real time with the pedal.
New A/B Channel Divide Function
Another notable new feature onboard the GT-100 is the versatile A/B Channel Divide. Assign different amps and effects to each channel, and divide the signal not only by dynamics, but by frequency as well, with each channel capable of driving its own effects and amps settings. The range of tonal possibilities gets wider, and wilder! Assign smooth, mild lead tones to the mid-to-high pitches, for example, and heavy, cutting tones to the lower notes.

Updated Feb 4, 2013 - 1:26 pm
Former Diamondback Brandon Webb to retire
The ace of the Arizona Diamondbacks' staff, Webb had been an All-Star three times and won the NL Cy Young Award in 2006.
The right-hander got shelled that afternoon, allowing six earned runs in just four innings of work. He walked two and struck out two.
It was learned soon after that Webb had problems with his shoulder, and what followed was a lengthy and fruitless rehab process that never led to the pitcher returning to the mound in a big league game.
And now, as reported by ESPN.com baseball writer Jerry Crasnick , instead of continuing to throw towels in hopes of healing, Webb is throwing in the towel on his MLB career.
Webb hangs up the cleats with a record of 87-62 with a 3.27 ERA. He pitched 1,319.2 innings, allowing 1,200 hits and 435 walks. He struck out 1,065 batters and tallied eight career shutouts.
Webb ranks third on the D-backs' all-time list in ERA and is second in wins, innings pitched, strikeouts, games started and shutouts.

The Fixed Head Rotary Clothes Line is the classic rotary hoist which was invented in Australia over 50 years ago, with all models based on the original galvanised "Hills Hoist" rotary which is still available today.
With the rise of reduced land sizes due to high land prices, the fixed head rotary range is not as popular as it once was, due to the fact these rotary clothes lines need a lot of room. Austral clothes lines and Hills Industries still make a quality range of fixed head hoists that come fully backed with a 10 year guarantee.
Above you'll find links to the range of Fixed Head Rotaries currently available in Australia. Our fixed head rotarys would suit any families of around 3-6 people and have the ability to hold large amounts of laundry and washing.
Installation is easy, although if you don't consider yourself very handy, you can request installation when you order for a flat rate of $135. If you've any questions or queries, please call us on 1300 798 772 or visit our contact page.

Next-gen Chevy MyLink employs smartphone flexibility
LAS VEGAS--Cabin tech interfaces receive a lot of criticism for being clunky, ugly, and slow, but Chevrolet may have cracked the code by copying the smartphone. The newest generation of the MyLink infotainment system runs smoothly and employs icons that look, and can be rearranged, like those on a smartphone.
Similar to an iPhone, drivers of the new Impala will be able to put the interface into edit mode, and move icons around on the touch screen. The icons cover everything from navigation to phone to apps such as Pandora. To make the system better suited to cars, there are … Read more

AKRON ON A ROLL: If there was ever a time to get hot -- the end of the regular season -- Akron has found it. The Zips, who started conference play with one win in seven tries, has been victorious in four straight games and six of their last seven. Akron, which is 7-7 and is in the middle of dog fight to host a first round game on Monday, Feb. 28, has both of its remaining regular season games at home.
TWENTY WINS AGAIN FOR KENT: Kent garnered its seventh 20-win season in the last eight years with an 89-65 win at Ohio on Saturday. The Golden Flashes overcame an eight point halftime deficit (35-27) for their 17th win in their last 18 games. During the last eight seasons the Golden Flashes are 168-63 (.727) and have never lost more than 10 games in a single season.
MAC TV GAME OF THE WEEK: Bowling Green visits Buffalo on Friday for the league's final regular season television game of the week. Bill Needle (play-by-play) and former Ohio head coach Amy Prichard (analyst) will call the action from Alumni Hall for the 8 p.m. game, which can be seen live on Fox Sports Net Ohio.
THAT'S THE TICKET: Tickets for the 2000 Mid-American Conference Women's Basketball Tournament March 2-4 at Public Hall are now on sale and can be purchased by contacting Ticketmaster at (216) 241-5555. Prices for an all-session ticket (good for all seven games) are $30 for adults and $20 for students 18 and under and for seniors 55 and older for reserved seats, while general admission seats are $25 for adults and $15 for students/seniors. Single session tickets begin at $5 for general admission and $6 for reserved seats. To purchase tickets for a specific school section, please contact that institution's ticket office.
THE NON-CONFERENCE LOOK: The Mid-American Conference completed the regular season with a 62-75 non-conference record, which translates into a .453 winning percentage. That mark also includes a 1-8 record against nationally-ranked opponents. Last year, the MAC's record in non-conference play was 59-66 (.472).
A LOOK AT THE RPI: In the weekly installment of the College Basketball News Women's RPI Report (through games of Feb. 20), the Mid-American Conference was ranked No. 17 among the 31 Division I conferences and is also ranked No. 16 according to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. The MAC had five schools in the top-150 in both RPI reports.
School CBN WBCA Kent 38 39 W. Michigan 88 90 Buffalo 126 130 Toledo 139 140 Miami 150 149
A LOOK AT THE TOURNAMENT: With one week remaining in the regular season, there is still a large element of the unknown in the air as schools position themselves for the tournament. Two of the three available first-round byes have been solidified by Kent and Western Michigan, while the others attempt to solidify either the final bye or host a game on Feb. 28. Below is a look at the conference record of each school, where they rank and who they each play in the final week.
School W-L Games Left Kent 13-1 UB, at UA W. Michigan 13-1 CMU, at EMU Toledo 8-5 EMU, at OU, NIU -------------------------------------------------- Miami 7-7 MAR, OU Buffalo 7-7 at Kent, BG Ball State 7-7 at NIU, CMU Akron 7-7 BG, Kent E. Michigan 6-8 at UT, WMU C. Michigan 6-8 at WMU, at BSU Bowling Green 6-8 at UA, at UB -------------------------------------------------- Ohio 5-9 UT, at MIA N. Illinois 4-10 BSU, at UT Marshall 2-13 at MIA
WHAT A YEAR FOR THE ROOKIE: Western Michigan freshman center Kristin Koetsier is having a rookie campaign most people only dream of. Koetsier leads the league in scoring (19.8), is tied for first in rebounding (9.5), is third in blocked shots (1.36) and fourth in field goal percentage (.548) and free throw percentage (.810). In addition, she also leads the MAC in double-doubles (12) and defensive rebounds (6.76), and has been named the offensive player of the week twice and the defensive player of the week three times. She is also vying to become the first-ever freshman to lead the league in scoring.
KENT EYES HOME RECORD: Kent will attempt to extend its school-record 30-game home winning streak this week as the Golden Flashes entertain Buffalo on Wednesday. Should Kent win its final home game of the regular season, the Golden Flashes would equal Toledo's streak of 31, which spanned the 1990-1993 seasons. Kent owns the second-longest winning streak in Division I, trailing Grambling's 65 straight.
EIGHT IS ENOUGH FOR WMU: Western Michigan improved its winning streak to six consecutive games overall and eight straight league contests with a 65-48 win at Northern Illinois last Saturday. The victory tied a school record for consecutive conference wins. A win on Wednesday against Central Michigan would set a program record. The Broncos' win over the Huskies was also their seventh league road victory of the season -- tops in the MAC.
MARTIN LOST FOR THE YEAR: Jenny Martin, Miami's leading scorer, was lost for the rest of the season when she suffered a stress fracture in her right foot on Feb. 8 at Ohio. Since her departure, the Redhawks have lost all three of their games.
TWO MORE REACH 1,000 POINTS: Miami's Jamie Stewart and Western Michigan's Danielle Mueller became the seventh and eighth active players, respectively, to reach the 1,000 career point plateau. Ironically, the pair reached the mark on the same night -- last Monday when the two faced one another in Oxford. Mueller finished the game with 20 points, while Stewart ended with six. The duo also became the 92nd and the 93rd players in MAC history to reach the 1,000 point barrier.
FALCONS LONG RANGE TACTICS: Entering the week, Bowling Green is averaging 9.50 treys a game, which leads the MAC and is also tops in the country. The Falcons are also chasing the national record, which is 9.19 set by South Carolina in the 1993-94 season. In their last six games, the Falcons have hit 72 treys, an average of 12 per game, including 26 in their last two contests. In MAC games, Bowling Green is averaging 10.43 treys (146 in 14 games), and that number jumps to 11.75 in home conference contests. The team is also chasing the MAC single season record of 234 -- BG has 228 with at least three games remaining.
STEVENS IS A SCORING MACHINE: Marshall junior Yashico Stevens raised her season point total to 354 following play last weekend. She is the first Marshall player, other than Herd legend Kristina Behnfeldt, to score 300 points in a season since the 1996-97 season. Lisa Mason and Cindy McCauley each scored over 300 that season, helping the Herd to the Southern Conference Tournament championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. With at least two games remaining, Stevens needs to average 23 points per game to become the first player other than Behnfeldt to score 400 in a season since the 1991-92 season.
KENT'S OFFENSIVE ARSENAL: In 12 of its last 17 games, Kent has scored 80 or more points and are averaging 82.9 points per contest against league teams, which is tops in the league. Overall, Kent is averaging 81.1 points per game to lead the conference and ranks 10th in the nation in scoring.
STEWART IN SELECT COMPANY: Miami's Jamie Stewart became just the second player in school history and only the fifth in MAC history to register 200 made three-point field goals. Stewart is four treys short of passing Lisa Hayden for the top spot in RedHawk annals, a feat that would also move her up to fourth in league history.
KILPELA NETS NEW MARK AT UB: Kim Kilpela scored a career-best 33 points last Saturday in Buffalo's 89-78 loss to Marshall. Kilpela's total was the highest output ever by a freshman at UB, and was only five points shy of the school record. She also had 11 rebounds for her fifth double-double of the season.
BOWIE DOUBLES UP FOR CARDS: Freshman Tamara Bowie has scored 61 points and grabbed 29 rebounds in BSU's last three games. In her last six, Bowie has scored 109 points (18.2 points per game) and grabbed 60 rebounds (10.0 rebounds per game). Her 14 points and 11 rebounds versus Akron on Sunday marked her third straight double-double and her fourth of the season.
CMU DUO DRAINING TREYS: Central Michigan has the top three-point tandem in the league in senior Jodi Culbertson and sophomore Molli Munz. Culbertson, who set the CMU record for three-pointers in a season four weeks ago, has 62 to date and is tied for second in the league, while Munz is right behind her teammate in fourth place with 60.
A HALF TO FORGET FOR OHIO: Ohio lost to Kent at home , 89-65, on Saturday after leading at the half. The Bobcats were the first team to lead Kent at the half since nationally-ranked Boston College did it on Dec. 4, and is only the fourth team to do so this season. Ohio, however, was the first team that allowed Kent to comeback from the halftime deficit of the four. Ohio has now lost 11 straight games to Kent in the series and haven't defeated the Flashes since 1995. The Bobcats gave up a 62 second half points to the Flashes which was the most it has given up in a half this season.
HAMILTON HITS TOP FIVE: Miami senior AuBree Hamilton last week entered the top five in league history in blocked shots. Hamilton, who has swatted 12 shots in her last six games, has 125 blocked shots in her career, which also ranks her second all-time in Miami history. Next in line for Hamilton is Miami record holder Amy Franz, who is fourth with 131.
RISING(ER) TO THE OCCASION: Toledo sophomore Courtney Risinger, who leads the Rockets in three-pointers made per game (1.9), has hit two or more three-pointers in eight of last nine games. Over that span, she has averaged 12.6 points and has connected on 49 percent of her shots from the floor (42-of-85) and 47 percent from three-point range (22-of-47).
KITTS SETS SCHOOL RECORD: Ball State freshman Laurie Kitts set a school record with seven three-point field goals versus Eastern Michigan last Wednesday. Kitts, who netted a career-high 28 points against the Eagles, has scored in double figures in seven of the last nine games and in nine of BSU's last 12 contests. For the season, Kitts has drilled 52 threes and is shooting 39 percent from behind the arc.
THE KOETSIER 500: Western Michigan's Kristin Koetsier needs just five points to total 500 in her freshman campaign. Her total of 495 points currently ranks fourth in the Bronco record book. Koetsier is 24 points shy of setting a new WMU rookie scoring record, and is 45 short of setting a new league mark, which is currently held by Kent's Tracey Lynn (539). WMU's all-time leading scorer Kina Brown scored 518 points in her debut season. In addition to Brown, only Shelsea Erving (553) and Shannon Pickell (538) have scored more points in a single season.
PRESEASON POLL REVISITED: Below is a comparison of the league's preseason poll, which was released back in October, in relation to where the teams stand following games this past weekend.
East Division Pick +/- Kent 1st even Miami 3rd +1 Buffalo 5th +3 Akron 3rd +1 Bowling Green 4th -1 Ohio 6th even Marshall 7th even West Division Pick +/- W. Michigan 2nd +1 Toledo 1st -1 Ball State 6th +3 E. Michigan 3rd -1 C. Michigan 5th +1 N. Illinois 4th -2
NEW THREAT EMERGES FOR UA: Akron junior Katie Hank has turned into a scoring machine for the Zips in the stretch run. Hank has scored double figures in points in each of her last three games, plus pulled down a career-best 13 caroms against Ball State on Sunday.
ROZAK STEPS UP FOR CMU: Sophomore Alicia Rozak has been hot for CMU in MAC play. The forward leads the team in league games with a 13.4 points per game average and she's been in double figures 10 of the 14 MAC games. Rozak had a team-high 18 points against Toledo last weekend.
CRICKARD NETS CAREER HIGHS: Eastern Michigan senior Amy Crickard set career highs in points (16) and rebounds (9) in the Eagles' loss to Ball State last Wednesday. Crickard hit seven of her 13 shots from the field and also passed out three assists and recorded three steals.
ZERMAN IN SELECT COMPANY: Senior Dawn Zerman collected her 1,500th career point in Kent's 74-72 loss at Miami Feb. 2. By reaching that milestone she became the first player in Kent history and the second MAC player ever to have 1,500 career points, 400 career assists and 250 career steals. The only other player to accomplish this feat was two-time MAC Player of the Year Kim Knuth (2,509 points, 484 assists and 368 steals) from Toledo.
BG'S ALL-CENTURY TEAM NAMED: At halftime of its game with Eastern Michigan on Feb. 12, Bowling Green announced its all-century team following a ballot which appeared in the Bowling Green Sentinel Tribune. Named to the first team were Jackie Motycka, Chris Tuttle, Megan McGuire, Sara Puthoff and Paulette Backstrom. The second team consisted of Lori Albers, Angie Bonner, Susie Cassell, Sue Pokelsek and current head coach Dee Knoblauch.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Casino Campaigns Make Final Push Ahead of Referendum VoteBy Jill Kasparie, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The pressure is on to talk to as many Linn County Voters as possible.
Volunteers with both campaigns can't find enough time in the day. The strategy is to keep working up until the very last moment. "I've been here since 9:00 a.m. this morning," Joni Scotter, a Vote Yes Volunteer, said. Scotter said she doesn't mind sitting in the campaign office and talking to strangers on the phone to secure some "yes" votes. Ellen Stines, on the other hand, knows the importance of getting out of the Vote No campaign office. "It's like, you've got to get out there and talk to as many people as possible," Stines said. As part of the final push to get out the vote, many also received a pre-recorded call on Friday from the vote no campaign. Some KCRG viewers called upset about the message. Here's a portion of that message: "Instead of choosing a project that divides the county, you can choose an attraction that unites us. On Tuesday, join me and vote no for a casino." The Vote No campaign said the call was meant to inform voters of the new water park plan. On Friday, Riverside CEO Dan Kehl announced that he's promising to build a year-round, indoor water park on the same land casino investors want, if voters turn down the referendum. "Well, a lot of people are just tired of hearing about this issue, they don't want to hear any more about a casino, whether they are for it or against it," Vote No Spokesperson Todd Henderson said. "But it's that way with any election." The vote yes campaign said the calls were a surprise and that they were poor taste. "I think they expect some automated calls the weekend of an election to remind you to go and vote -- people don't expect this kind of phone call to still be happening," Vote Yes Spokesperson Marcia Rogers said. With this intense issue, volunteers like Scotter and Steins can finally take a long break once the referendum vote is over. Both campaigns have dozens of volunteers at work. Many of them said they think Tuesday's vote will be very close. Conversation GuidelinesBe KindDon't use abusive, offensive, threatening, racist, vulgar or sexually-oriented language.

< Return To Hearing
Mr. Mitchell E. KertzmanDecember 12, 2001 Introduction Mr. Chairman, Senator Hatch, and other members of the Committee, thank you for the chance to speak on this critical topic. The Proposed Final Judgment is woefully inadequate. It is a backward-looking document that fails to prevent Microsoft from abusing its monopoly position to increase costs and stifle new technologies -- not just for personal computers, but also for new technologies like digital televisions, cellular phones, game consoles, and personal digital assistants. Microsoft has already announced its intent to expand its dominance beyond PC operating systems, servers, and applications to new devices and even personal information via its "eHome" and "Passport" initiatives. According to comments made by Microsoft President Steve Ballmer just last week, Microsoft is pursuing a "broader concept" for its client devices like the xBox and set-top box software. In his words, "[T]here's a bigger play we hope to get over time" by annexing all of these devices into the Microsoft empire. Microsoft's own demos and white papers show that it plans to establish its operating system as the software that would collect information streaming into the home and distribute it to each new device. Microsoft has used and will continue to use its monopoly over desktop operating systems to deny competition in each new computing market as it evolves: first desktop applications, then internet browsers and servers, and now alternative devices ranging from smart phones to television set-top boxes. By dealing only with a narrow category of Windows products, and failing even there to impose any significant restrictions, the Proposed Final Judgment fails to check Microsoft's demonstrated willingness to exploit its power over the operating system in order to dominate other market segments. Background By way of personal background, I am the CEO of Liberate Technologies, a company making middleware software that enables interactive and enhanced television. Before joining Liberate, I was chairman and CEO of Sybase, then one of the world's ten largest independent software companies, founder and CEO of Powersoft, an enterprise software company, and chairman of both the American Electronics Association and the Massachusetts Software Council. I am also currently a director of CNET, Handspring, and TechNet. Throughout my career, I have both partnered with and competed against Microsoft. I have been impressed by the power of its dominant platforms, but also concerned about the abuses that resulted from that dominance. I have seen Microsoft consistently use its power to block competition in new markets through at least three types of misconduct that the PFJ does nothing to deter: (1) Preventing original equipment manufacturers from supporting new technologies; (2) Tying commercial restrictions to investments; and (3) Blocking non-Windows-based industry standards. (1) Preventing Original Equipment Manufacturers from Supporting New Technologies My current company, Liberate, was originally Network Computer Incorporated, promoting computers and software that would operate via a network to significantly reduce the cost of computing. This model, like the Netscape browser, threatened the dominance of the Windows platform. But because the manufacturers of many new devices also manufacture desktop PCs, Microsoft was able to exploit its desktop OEM relationships to discourage competition. For example, Network Computer had an active relationship with Digital Equipment Corporation to develop a device running our software. Microsoft and Mr. Gates simply threatened the CEO of DEC that they would port Microsoft's NT operating system to DEC hardware only if DEC stopped development of a network computer, an offer DEC couldn't refuse. It's clear, and the courts have reaffirmed, that a monopoly simply cannot engage in this kind of Such tactics forced us to exit this business, and the price of PC operating systems and applications remains as high as ever when all other computing costs have plummeted. The Proposed Final Judgment focuses only on Windows products for desktop PCs and includes broad and ambiguous exceptions to its limits on retaliation. These loopholes would apparently let Microsoft get away with the kind of misconduct it perpetrated against Network Computer. The result would be to block or delay the development of new competitive devices and technologies. The remedy proposed by the non-settling states would, on the other hand, prevent Microsoft from engaging in this type of retaliation and unfairly extending its desktop monopoly to a wider array of software and devices. (2) Tying Commercial Restrictions to Investments Second, in investing the considerable proceeds of its desktop monopoly in new markets, Microsoft has extracted, or attempted to extract, exclusive or near-exclusive commercial distribution arrangements to block out competitors. In the interactive television industry alone, Microsoft has invested billions of dollars with leading cable and satellite networks. As recently as this week, Microsoft has again aggressively pursued this strategy with leading operators both here and in Europe. The strings attached to these investments often require networks to buy Microsoft's middleware, making it difficult or impossible for them to buy competitive products. Microsoft's money is a heavy thumb on the scale, biasing choices of future technologies in its favor. As new-generation computers and small consumer devices often rely on networks for their interconnections, these investments in network companies set the stage for continued dominance of these new platforms as they evolve. Again, the PFJ fails to even address the issue of such restrictive dealings outside the scope of desktop products. In contrast, the remedies filed last week by the non-settling states, while not barring new investments, would at least require that Microsoft give 60 days notice to permit a review of anti-competitive effects. (3) Refusing to Support Non-Windows-Based Industry Standards Microsoft has also abused its monopoly position by blocking industry-wide standards essential to the evolution of a new generation of network-based devices. In our industry, Microsoft has undermined Java as a standard for digital television, lobbying heavily to prevent U.S. and European standards bodies from standardizing on Java. As you know, Java lets developers "write once, run anywhere", permitting content to run across a wide variety of platforms rather than just on Microsoft's proprietary code. As a second prong of this strategy to block, co-opt, or "embrace and extend" standards, Microsoft has refused to join with other technology companies in pooling its intellectual property, instead indicating that it will sue to block the implementation of standards wherever it can find a violation of one of its patents. Microsoft certainly has the right not to support a standard. However, they are exploiting their dominance in the PC market to distort standards elsewhere. Third, by removing the Java Virtual Machine from its PC operating systems while the JVM is common elsewhere, Microsoft discourages developers from creating new "write-once, run-anywhere" content, undermines support for uniform standards, and drives developers to write to proprietary Microsoft platforms. It is clear that Microsoft's foot-dragging and affirmative interference has slowed the deployment of digital television in the United States. Cable companies and television manufacturers both say that a gating issue has been the lack of a definitive standard for digital television, a standard that Microsoft's tactics have delayed and undermined. Microsoft's approach stands in direct opposition to the clearly expressed will of Congress and the interests of all Americans interested in richer and more varied television programming. Yet again, the PFJ would do nothing to prevent these abuses. The remedies recently filed by the non-settling states -- by making available Microsoft APIs and certain types of code, opening access to the personal identification data captured by Microsoft Passport, and requiring the distribution of the Java Virtual Machine -- would promote technology interoperability and the development of universally beneficial standards while maintaining relatively open alternatives to Microsoft software and services. Conclusion The PFJ is a disappointment. Disappointing because it is weaker than the facts and the law of the case support, and disappointing because it will not limit Microsoft's plans to dominate new markets in the same way it has dominated operating systems, applications, and servers in the past. I welcome this hearing, and hope that this Committee will continue to exercise vigorous oversight of this case to assure that the final outcome is in the best interests of American consumers. |

"This legislation is very important to the dairy industry because it will allow safer, greener and more efficient hauling through the supply chain," said Ruth Saunders, vice president for policy and legislative affairs at the International Dairy Foods Association.
Many of these heavier trucks now operate on five axles instead of the six axles SETA would require for enhanced safety.
Fifteen food industry associations wrote to committee members asking them to support the measure, H.R. 763, noting it would safely improve transportation efficiency, facilitate economic growth and bring much-needed improvements to the American food supply chain.

I was really disappointed in this book. I wish Grisham would go back to writing mysteries. I have a hard time believing that he would be burned out from that type of writing. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this book unless you enjoy being depressed while reading of the downward moral spiral of the main character. I couldn't get past page 80. I glanced at the pictures in the middle of the book to get a feel for the topic and hoped for a better story, but I was bitterly disappointed.

I found it to be an excellent book. It shows us all how unjust our court system handles death penalty cases etc. It is not a happy book,but it does give one hope that enough good people are still around to correect boad things. The main character was deprssing but so was what his community and the prison authorites did to him.

Okay I have a couple questions..
1.) I was searching Newegg.com for the biggest harddrive available for a super-slim PS3 and saw the "green" western digital 1.5TB but saw a review on it that said its to big in actual dimensions? Using Playstation Plus I can see how fast my harddrive space will get used up and just want the biggest drive I can safely and effectively put into my SS PS3.
2.) can you stack the one year subscription of PS Plus codes so say if I buy one could I buy another 1 year and enter it in also?
3.) I was searching around and came across the official Sony Bluetooth headset 7.1 and a "Pulse" headset that's suppose to be the premium version ..just wondering if the Pulse one is worth it over the "basic" version?
Sorry for the questions..it's been probably 2 years or so since I had a PS3 but recently bought the super slim uncharted 3 bundle 250GB and trying to get back into the game.
BTW: if anyone wants to add me on PSN my ID is: ztmike
Just don't add me if you only play sports or barely get on and let me know your from the forums here.

The HDDs for PS3s are all the same size regardless of model - 2.5" SATA.
As for the biggest, not sure, biggest I've seen is 1TB, so long as it says 2.5" and not 1.8" or 3.5" you can't go wrong.
PS+ is stackable so yeah.
Dunno about mics.
Sorry if I wasn't much help lol
04-12-2013 #5
Also if you do not mind HDD to be outside the case you can use whatever HDD or RAID system you want. (as long as it connects to SATA cable.)
This increases the single drive capacity to 4TB and if you have SATA RAID the theoretical limits of filesystem is most likely in petabyte range.Last edited by jlippone; 04-12-2013 at 06:56.

ITs not the width thats an issue thats always gong to be the same, (2.5 inch/ 63mm) its the height. Old phat models couldnt be any more than 9.6mm high so use that rule and you cannot go wrong I say.
This is 2TB but 15mm high.

The WD Caviar Green is a slow drive. I wouldn't get it for the PS3 if I was you. They are made to be used as storage drives that are only accessed every so often, not constantly like it would in the PS3.

If one needs speed go for either SSD or a hybrid drive if you want decently priced storage as well.

I think this might help the OP :
Don't go with a WD for the ps3, they have head parking for power efficiency, but that ends up making them slow and uselessly expensive for a ps3. Go with a toshiba or Hitachi, that's what Sony uses, so don't think you could go wrong with them, or Seagate if you don't trust the former. HDDs these days, are all pretty much the same quality (durability and longevity wise), so choose the fastest one with the most cache and the most GBs per $.
As for your initial question, the ps3s use 2.5 " SATA Drives that are 9.5 mm high, any higher than that and you'll have to mod the hdd tray of the ps3, and even then it might have trouble fitting in. The super slim uses a 7.5 mm high hdd as the default but it can accomodate a 9.5mm high hdd aswell, see here.
As for the headsets, the Pulse got flying reviews all around for its high fidelity audio, and the "Bass Impact" ((the headsets actually pulsate with the bass) feature is something you like or don't like (most people, however, do seem to like it), also, Bioshock Infinite has a custom audio mode for the Pulse headset, so it's definitely the better model of the two available playstation headsets.
I haven't ever used either so don't take my word for it though, just stuff I read around the internet.
No idea how PS+ subsriptions work, so that's about all I can answer. CheersLast edited by PS3-The Ultimate Machine; 04-13-2013 at 13:50.

750 and full myself. I dont know what I want to delete so that I can download Sleeping Dogs from PS+. PS4 needs atleast a 1TB HDD imho.
Some of these games are freaking MASSIVE and it's one of my reasons why a digital only model simply wont work. Who really wants to delete games all the time to make room to install new ones when you could've simply swaped a disk? It works for mobile devices because these games/apps ares pushing 20-30-40+GB file sizes.PCs are very much like Air Conditioners.
They both become utterly useless once you start to open up Windows....

Get new 4TB HDD or a RAID array for it.
Something like 9TB on RAID5 could be enough for a while..'no, no one in their sane mind uses OpenGL on PS3' - Repi

I just can't get with this downloading business. PS1/PS2 classics? Fine. Current games with a month shelf-life? Can't do it.
