I've been surfing for 3 years though have had a dry spell for 4 months due to broken board. Looking to get back on the waves. I previously owned a 6'8 epoxy swallow tail witdh 21 thickness 2 1/4 which I was quite comfortable with. The board I'm looking switch to is a 6'3 fiberglass squash width 18 1/2 thickness 2 3/8 .

Private label growth tied to rise in unemployment?
The debate continues as to whether this growth will continue or taper off as the recession eases. This article, by Mike Pienciak, cautions investors to watch retailers such as Wal-Mart, Whole Foods and Kroger for their investment potential.
"Already a major force in store brands, Kroger has boosted volume of its own brands by 15% this year, according to a recent AP story. That has helped propel store-brand unit share at Kroger to more than 35%, a record for the company."
Pienciak makes the same argument we have been hearing for a while. Consumers will be driven to try alternatives to national brands due to "household distress" but will stick because of perceived quality and an emotional bond to the retailer.
This newfound consumer loyalty just might survive an economic recovery.

My name is Moe Armstrong. My history with Connecticut has been long and circular. In 1965, I saved the life of a Marine in Vietnam. He was from Noank, close to Mystic. He and I became friends. There is something bonding about performing artificial respiration on a person and bringing him back to life. He introduced me to his sister. She and I started to write letters. We all talked of going to Connecticut. He and I lived the life of old war buddies.
During my last month in
, I had a psychiatric break. I ended up medically evacuated from
and when I was discharged from the hospital, I came to
. In 1966, I came here looking for Bett and her brother Jack. We never connected. I kept looking for her and her brother. I was homeless and lived in a tent on a farm in
. I was also dazed and confused from the war. I was lost and hurt. I kept moving in and out of homelessness. Homelessness was more painful than the war experience.
I returned to Connecticut in 1967, still looking for Bett and her brother. The war had scattered us. The war had destroyed my life. I was decorated with the Naval Commendation and a Combat V. Her brother and I had seen a lot of combat. I was so hurt that that I would just keep crying. I was hurt from the war. I was also brokenhearted to never be reunited with my wartime buddy Jack and his sister Bett. At the beginning of the summer of 1967, I left Connecticut. With nowhere to live, I returned to work for the US Forest Service in California. They provided me with a place to live. Over the next twenty years, I kept losing my mind, my jobs, and my home. Lived in cars. Stayed with people. Lived on the streets. Every few years, I would return to Connecticut and would try to find Bett and her brother in the phone book. Then, I would head back to California or New Mexico.
In 1984 - twenty years after the war - I started going to college in New Mexico. I completed two Masters Degrees. In 1993, I moved to Boston, Massachusetts. For the past twenty years, I have never stopped working with people with mental illness who are or have been homeless. My job is to get other people Sane, Stable, Safe and Sober. I set up Peer Support Meetings in Massachusetts. Several thousand people attended these support meetings in Massachusetts. In January 15, 2002, we started our first support meetings for veterans at the Errera Community Care Center in West Haven, Connecticut. For six years, I have also worked to create safe, stable, sane and sober environments for veterans. These programs have all been evaluated by a VA research team. These Veteran support meetings are also in thirty-eight sites across America.
Homelessness hurt me many years ago. Maybe, that is why I chose to work so hard. I lost twenty years of my life. I do not want others hurt like I was hurt. I went from being an all-star football player, an Eagle Scout, a Presbyterian Sunday School teacher and decorated combat military hero—to being drunk and addicted on the streets of America. There is no easy road to recovery and renewal. I was helped. The VA helped me. Social services helped me. My parents are poor retired janitors. They had no money. All I got over the years came through help from the government. I succeeded. Others can succeed. Others have succeeded. At the age of sixty-three, I am now starting all over.
There is a war going on. I have chosen to leave my job and work in Boston and come to Connecticut and become a VA employee at the VA's Errera Community Center. My job will be to assist other veterans through knowledge and information. What is mental illness? How can we get free from addictions? How can we get and keep housing? Then, how can each of us go back and help others get free from homelessness and destructiveness, also? Each One, Reach One, Teach One.
My life has come full circle. Connecticut is where I started this quest. Connecticut is where my quest will end. Thank you for your interest in wanting to help veterans obtain permanent housing. Count me in to assist Connecticut in obtaining housing for veterans. It is ironic that only a few months ago I heard from Bett again. She located me through the Internet. She is happily married. Her brother died a couple of years ago. We were never really reunited. Still, my life and time in Connecticut will be dedicated to Bett and her brother Jack. My time is also dedicated to obtaining permanent housing for veterans and keeping them housed permanently.
We can begin to break the cycle of homelessness. Permanent housing with wrap-around services is the answer. You have one of the best VA mental health care systems in the United States here to accomplish the service delivery. I look forward to having the complimentary housing part soon.
Thank you for your interest, and for caring about veterans.

Moe - you are fantastic! Thank you for sharing you story. I'm sorry you hurt and struggled so deeply because you served this country. I'm very glad to hear that the VA has your talent and creativity working for the vets that return with what you described as "tri-occurring disorders". Every American should care. It's out democracy that puts military service members in a place where they experience physical and silent wounds. Lives and families ripped apart. It's time we all start learning about the nature and impact of combat stress and trauma - and caring a whole lot more so we don't lose good people in the cracks.
It's so clear why you and Guy Gambill received SAMHSA's Impact Award. You two are making a huge difference. Thank you for teaching the rest of us.

Can Delaware County attract companies that build data centers, the off-site information storage centers that cater to the increasingly computerized business world?
Big story, big shell building, big questions. Officials recently announced plans for an $8 million shell building on Muncie's southwest side to draw economic development. The building would be expandable to half a million feet.
Last week the Congressional Budget Office released a study on a proposed minimum wage hike. Their conclusion was that raising the minimum wage by 39 percent from $7.25 to $10.10 would reduce employment by roughly 500,000 jobs.

Election Day Sets Record Iowa Turnout of 1.56 Million
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowans set a record for turnout in a presidential election on Tuesday, and the percentage of registered voters casting ballots is the highest in 20 years.
The presidential race drew 1,558,252 voters, exceeding by 14,000 the previous high mark set in 2008. Turnout was 72 percent, the highest figure since more than 80 percent of voters turned out in the 1992 election between Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush. Turnout was just over 71 percent in 2004 and 2008. Iowa had nearly 2.2 million registered voters on Election Day. The figures could change since several precincts reported significant voter registrations at the polls. Iowa Secretary of State spokesman Chad Olsen says voter turnout could change as well since 22 precincts had still not reported totals as of Wednesday afternoon.

McLaren F1 crash test
This is a rare crash test of a McLaren F1. Amazingly, when crashed at 40mph the carbon fiber monocoque chassis absorbed all the impact, leaving the rest of the car intact. Also, this is reportedly the only car ever to be driven away from a MIRA crash test. Although if they tried this thing at the McLaren F1's top speed of 231mph it'd be a completely different story. Instead of a car they'd end up with a giant steel pancake.

Yeah. MOOCs as networks. What an idea! "How do you make that enormous digital classroom smarter than the individuals in it? 2B2K's answer (such as it is) is that you make a room smart by enabling its inhabitants to create a knowledge network." Maybe David Weinberger saw my presentation. Or maybe not.

Michael Geist talks about internet legislation and the culture of resistance that has formed in response to it. "For months people have been trying to figure out the "SOPA Story." How did the number one legislative effort from the number one lobby go down in flames?" To me, one of the most interesting results is that people are forming their own media consortia. I'm thinking that the day publishers turned on their audience was the day they lost that audience. "At the Media Consortium, a national network of independent media outlets, we realized that we could aggregate independent media content into media tools that could be embedded on individual member sites.... Instead of being pushed toward one central site à la Huffington Post, this model allows audiences to go to their favorite independent media outlet, where they can find national content created by the independent media sector."

I sometimes feel like I'm the only person in the world who defines 'open access' as non-commercial access. I honestly don't get how people think charging for a resource somehow makes it 'more free', and I'm pretty sure there's a sizeable foundation-type lobby making sure that the 'open-as-commercial' perspective holds sway. Well, I haven't drunk the commercialism Kool-Aid, and consequently, I reject the proposal coming forth from the so-called 'LOD-LAM Summit' to create a 4-star definition of openness. If you can block access to something and demand payment for it, it's not open. It is certainly not 'more open' than the non-commercial form of openness that most people actually want to use. Give the types of licensing names, not rankings. Anyhow, for the rest of the world who disagrees with me, here's the draft version of the four-star system, above is a video of MacKenzie Smith of MIT and Creative Commons discussing the system, and the LOD-LAM Blog.

Two trends I expect are related: slowing U.S. internet speeds, and a push to end net neutrality. David Weinberger reports on both. In the first, he notes, Akamai's latest state of the Internet report says that the U.S. is continuing to fall behind. In the other, he suggests that Google is hedging on net neutrality. Sebastian Anthony says it bluntly. "There's so much pressure from content providers and ISPs that it seems like we (or at least the USA) are about to pay a lot more for high-quality Internet access. The New York Times provides an excellent analogy: it will be like paying for premium cable or satellite TV channels. For just $9.99 per month you can have faster YouTube access! For $19.99 you can get YouTube, Vimeo and CollegeHumor!" Today: Total:1222

The internet failed the volcano crisis, reports Weinberger, but my own experience was much better. It's true, Weinberger couldn't rebook online. Not that rebooking would have helped anyways. In my case, because I was tracking my flight online, I knew before everyone else that it had been cancelled, and so was first in line at the airport to book a flight back home. Once home, I've kept up with the crisis online, and have worked with the conference organizers to provide an online alternative to my in-person keynote scheduled to take place in Finland. So, yeah, pretty much anything works better than airline online booking. What else is new? But as for the rest of it, the internet is performing magnificently. Today: Total:466

David Weinberger links to a Steven Johnson column in the NY Times suggesting open platforms are not needed for innovation. "When Dan Gillmor challenged this in a tweet," he adds, "Steve responded with a terrific blog post, further considering the point." For a platform to support a lot of development it needs to be "generative", that is, frequently re-invented in a way that puts amateurs and professionals on roughly the same footing. And only open platforms are generative. But Johnson's suggestion is that Apple's platform is "generative", which is why we see 150,000 apps, which means a platform need not be open to be generative. I really don't think we should take that app count too seriously. Apple has created a platform on which pretty much every web site is its own app (talk about not trusting open platforms!) and in which, therefore, apps are simply recreations of existing websites, and while this represents multiplicity, it hardly represents generativity 9or whatever it would be called).

David Weinberger points to Clay Shirky's popularization of Joseph Tainter's Collapse of Complex Societies. The idea is that societies increase wealth-production by increasing complexity. They solve problems, for example, by adding new rules, not dropping old rules. But at a certain point, complexity becomes a burden. But at that point, even though adding complexity only makes matters worse, there is no mechanism that allows the system to become less complex, because each part is inextricably connected with the rest. "The whole edifice becomes a huge, interlocking system not readily amenable to change."
There are shades of Kuhnian paradigm shifts here. For people enmeshed in the complex system, it becomes simply impossible to envision the less complex alternative. For example, "we will have to stop making content in the costly and complex way we have grown accustomed to making it. And we don't know how to do that." And we see this in education, as well. There is a system for producing and delivering educational content, and it seems impossible for those enmeshed in this system to see that it could be done in any other way.
P.S. How this becomes Shirky's myth is interesting (cf. the discussions about credit we've been having off and on - notice Shirky won't take credit but Weinberger gives it to him, and vice versa, that's how it works)). Today: Total:730

It's interesting to watch David Weinberger re-examine and reconsider his original Clutrain thoughts. This is a case in point: not long ago he would have said (and did say) "markets are conversations" and leave us a bit in the lurch understanding what that meant. Now he says "markets are networks" - an improvement, and he expands on it in this post. But it brings new questions: how do you deal with non-alignment of interests? What does "authenticity" really mean? What about scale (because, contra Weinberger, most networks (including the internets) are not scale-free). And we have to return again to the conversation - but not as a euphemism, but in a serious and informative way, the way I tried to do yesterday. Today: Total:598

"I want, and there is no reason we cannot have, at least 100mbs full symmetrical bandwidth. It is a global competitive imperative. Telcos, Cablecos, I do not want your lousy bowl of 1.5mbps gruel." Yeah, sounds reasonable, but look who you're asking: Bell, Telus and Rogers.

I remember when Google launched. It was very quiet. They had a hand-drawn logo. It was small, simple, and it really worked. In other words, the Google launch was exactly the opposite of what we are seeing from Wolfram Alpha. Based on the prelaunch alone (because I still haven't seen any actual working technology) I don't hold out high hopes. Dave Weinberger says, "Curation is a source of its strength. It increases the reliability of the information, it enables the computations, and it lets the results pages present interesting and relevant information far beyond the simple factual answer." Well maybe. But from where I sit, curation is its fatal weakness, the thing that means it can't adapt quickly to the environment and will always entail a high overhead. Today: Total:772

David Weinberger points to Scitable, 'a collaborative learning space for science undergraduates.' It's got articles, online class tools, teacher collaborative tools, student collaborative tools, discussion areas, consultable experts... I haven't yet gone through it all." Most access is free range, but if you dig deeper - into the "learning paths," for example, Scitable will require you (for no good reason) to register. Still.

In the light of this post on the more unsavory uses of Flickr (there is a long comment thread) it is worth taking note of this study, highlighted by David Weinberger, that shows that the internet just isn't the danger to children it is often portrayed to be. Weinberger comments, "This is an important report because it is relentlessly based on data-driven research. The task force believes it has considered every piece of peer-reviewed research published and more. Its conclusions come in response to all the known data." If you want to be worried about something, be worried about child-to-child bullying (and the sort of things in our society that would lead a child to thing that this sort of behaviour is appropriate).

Could be a bigger study, but the conclusions are in accord with my own intuitions. "A three-year research project... finds that the stereotypical idea of the Internet as a soul-devouring, anti-social wasteland for our kids is just plain wrong. If you suspected otherwise, now you know you were right." Here's the link to the study website. More from Joi Ito. Today: Total:7602

Yesterday David Weinberger suggested, "Shouldn't there be a non-vendor, open site that can serve as a namespace?" My response, in the first comment, was that "No, there shouldn't." The reason is that I don't think we should depend on a centralized aggregator, like Technorati, to organize tags. Quite a good discussion followed the initial exchange, and Weinberger was prompted to create a mock-up of what he wants. It is, of course, a clone of my own topic pages, something I've had on this site for, what, five years? Anyhow, decentralized tagging would be a good thing; let's hope the "Technorati Tag (tm)" becomes a thing of the past. Today: Total:790

Jeff Jarvis writes of web 2.0, "This is a new architecture. It's a dynamic architecture." Susan Crawford adds, insightfully, "It's even more than that — it's political. These meta-informational thingies are letting us see our online environment in ways we can't possibly see the offline world. What's important isn't just that these thingies are dynamic (although that's clearly important) but also that they can be (1) visualized and (2) affected by the attention of individuals.

In a sentence, here's what's wrong with predefined ontologies and taxonomies: "we use existing patterns to search the data, which can't turn up new patterns."

While I have been saying that the blog phenomenon, this article - and the majority view - suggests that it will become even greater. But if you look more closely at the article, what you see is that blogging's growth may be fuelled more by a redefinition of the term than by any actual increase. "The word "blog" will expand to cover any linkable posting (a place) where a person gets to speak her mind more than once. If it's more permanent than IM, it'll be a blog." Sure, whatever. I stand by my prediction. But the good prediction in this paper is this one: "The lines between email and blogs will blur." Watch for more developments here. Today: Total:364
