MLB Jonathan Vilma
Height: 6-0½, Weight: 229, Speed: 4.72
Notes: Started 37-of-47 games at the University of Miami, notching 371 tackles, 30 tackles for loss and three sacks while also earning numerous academic honors. Was drafted 12th overall in 2004 by the New York Jets and was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year after recording 118 tackles, two sacks and four pass breakups and returned a interception for a TD. Earned team MVP honors and a Pro Bowl invitation in '05 after leading the NFL with 187 tackles, four pass breakups, four forced fumbles and one interception. Production slipped mightily in '06 upon the arrival of Eric Mangini and the introduction of a 3-4 front that did not cover him up and allow him roam as freely as he had been able to in Herm Edwards' 4-3 front. Finished '06 with 116 tackles, four pass breakups and an interception. Elected team captain in '07 by teammates and started the first seven games before suffering a season-ending right knee injury. Returned to Miami to have the surgery instead of having Jets' doctors perform it to remove floating bone chips that troubled him as far back as college. Was traded to the Saints on the eve of free agency for a conditional pick that became a third-rounder and plugged into the starting lineup immediately at his more natural MLB position in a 4-3 front. Started all 10 games in '08 and led the team with 151 tackles. Signed a five-year, $34 million extension following the season and went on to lead the Saints to a Super Bowl championship, racking up 130 tackles in '09 and 131 in '10. Started the first seven games in 2011 before having to sit out with a left knee injury that he originally suffered Week Two that required surgery.
Positives: Extremely football-savvy and instinctive — steps before the snap and plays downhill. Outstanding eyes and anticipation — is very quick to locate and run to the ball. Good coverage recognition and range — gets good depth in his drops. Is a secure, wrap tackler in the open field. Veteran defensive signalcaller. Outstanding work ethic. Intense competitor. Plays every down and seldom leaves the field. Mentally and physically tough and consistently plays through injuries. Excellent career production (although it has slipped this season).
Negatives: Has a degenerative condition in his right knee and noticeably hobbled with a left knee injury suffered in Week Two against the Bears (which has kept him out of the last two games). Does not show the same range he did earlier in his career or make as many plays behind the line. Limited burst and closing speed on the blitz. Undersized and lacks physicality and take-on strength to handle bigger blockers — can be engulfed and hung up in tight quarters. Does not use his hands well to play off blocks. Not an explosive hitter.
Summary: In Gregg Williams' complex defense, a premium is placed on intelligence and foot speed at the ILB position. Vilma ranks among the league's best in the category of football-playing instincts and intelligence and is perfectly suited to line it up and set the tone, but knee issues have stolen speed from his game and left Williams to call the game more conservatively than he prefers. Despite not yet hitting the age of 30, Vilma's career is trending downward, and durability issues could call for the Saints to find replacement.

Tampa Bay got a visit from daytime talk's newest star, Bethenny Frankel, on Monday. She was in town promoting her new talk show, which debuts on FOX13 next month.
This is Bethenny's "Calling All My Girls" Tour. She spent time at FOX13 most of the morning and at Grille One Sixteen on North Dale Mabry later in the day, to meet with contest winners and fans.
From her days as a Real Housewife of New York, to launching and branding her own line of successful "Skinny Girl" cocktails, to reality show living and now a new talk show, Frankel told us she has worked long and hard for all of her successes.
"It wasn't easy, what did someone Tweet to me, that you don't take the elevator, you have to take the stairs to the top. You have to work for it! You have to be honest with yourself," said Frankel. "I want to be truthful with women and I want to help them."
You can read more about all things Bethenny on her website: www.bethenny.com

On the Other Side of the Screen: Ten Games Gone MetaA column article, Top Ten by: John Bender, Nick Boisson, Dylan Garsee, Nick Hanover
With this week's release of Deadpool by High Moon Studios and Activision, we began thinking of how a game that is so self-referential could work. But this has been done a number of times in video games over the past twenty some-odd years and John Bender, Nick Boisson, Dylan Garsee and Nick Hanover have opted to take a look back at ten instances of games going meta.
**FAIR WARNING: There are a number of spoilers for the games discussed below. If you plan to play a game listed, be sure to skip past the entry.**
3D Dot Game Heroes (2009)
Developer: Silicon Studio | Publishers: From Software, Atlus, SouthPeak Games
I have always had a love for the retro games that I grew up on. Most of my Generation Y brethren who have grown up playing video games share this same adoration. Proof of this is how well games that pay an homage to classic games of the early- to mid-'80s sell. But 3D Dot Game Heroes does not just pay homage to The Legend of Zelda, but makes commentary on many classic games of old.
The game begins with the King of Dotnia, feeling bored with the two-dimensional land he rules over, issues an order to make the realm 3D. And so, with the royal order given, Dotnia becomes three-dimensional. That's it. A character in a game is unhappy with its appearance and the game jumps dimensions. Because of this, traveling throughout the game becomes a giant reference to the days when the land was 2D. Imagine, if you will, when first playing Ocarina of Time, characters were telling Link of the days when Hyrule was flat.
Not to mention all the references 3D Dot Game Heroes makes to games like Mega Man, Metal Gear and Bionic Commando. The game even mocks the days of bad English translations of Japanese games by having a character speak "Engrish" and takes jabs at poor game development. Then, each time you load a game, you have the option of changing your character's appearance; a note to how little the narrative meant to classic 8-bit games that we all love. 3D Dot Game Heroes is the best game for classic game fans to play, if only to remind them how silly – but fun – those games really were.
by Nick Boisson
BioShock Infinite (2013)
Developer: Irrational Games | Publisher: 2K Games
Although it's fairly obvious that something fishy is going on when, at an early point in the game, Elizabeth casually rips open a hole in the fabric of spacetime to catch a glimpse of 1983 France, the full scope of BioShock Infinite's ambition isn't apparent until the last twenty minutes of gameplay.
In a whirlwind sequence, Elizabeth reveals that Booker's journey – the last thirteen hours or so of gameplay – isn't the first occurrence of its type. Sure, the details were a little different this time, but the constants – a man, a lighthouse, a city – are always the same. To hammer this point home, she brings the player to Rapture for a moment, where Booker is able to operate the bathyspheres while they're on lockdown, a privilege previously reserved for Andrew Ryan or his genetic equivalents like BioShock's hero, Jack. But unlike that earlier – or later? – go-around with megalomaniacal dystopias, the outcome of BioShock Infinite isn't variable.
There's no "bad" or "redemptive" ending. For all of its talk of multiple universes and infinite towers, there is one predetermined track that the player must follow to its grim, profound conclusion. That brooch you select? That coin you flip? That vanquished villain you spare? It's all pointless. The narrative wins out in the end. What some critics describe as an oversight or half-baked feature actually functions as an expression of nature's "course correction" in transdimensional travel. So you spared an interracial couple, the game seems to say. So you killed your evil future self. Good for you. There's still no atoning for the sin that set you on this course. At least, not until you consent to one final baptism (which means this dude would have really hated the ending of the game).
by John Bender
Comic Jumper (2010)
Developer: Twisted Pixel | Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
Despite Comic Jumper probably not being the best game from Twisted Pixel, it may very well be my favorite thanks to its self-referential humor, its jabs at the comic book and video game industries and so much more.
Comic Jumper is about our hero, Captain Smiley, whose comic book was just canceled by its publisher. When this happens, Captain Smiley and his chest-laden sidekick, Star, decided that the only way to reestablish their brand is to guest star on other comic books. The duo enlists the help of video game developer Twisted Pixel, who design a machine that lets Captain Smiley jump into other comics. Each level is an issue in a story arc of a different kind of comic series. Your first arc is in a Conan the Barbarian-like adventure comic and one of the best levels is where you play through a manga series. Each one becomes a send up of different comic art styles, playfully mocking each one. But it doesn't end with the comic references.
When you gain the chance to do a special move and are feeling a bit overwhelmed by a situation, a hand, a foot or even a full body of a developer at Twisted Pixel will appear and defeat all the enemies on screen. Not to mention that Captain Smiley can talk to the developers of the game at any time when he is at his base in Twisted Pixel's studio. All this makes for one of the oddest meta experiences you can get in a game as a fan of comics and games alike (as many of us here at CB very much are).

Cow Clicker (2010)
Developer: Ian Bogost
I am going to be honest here and say that I have always hated Facebook games. I do. They're some of the worst games I've had the misfortune to play and make for one of the many reasons I hate going on Facebook these days. Luckily, Ian Bogust understands my frustration.
Cow Clicker is a Facebook game about the absurdity of Facebook games. Here are the rules: every six hours, you get to click your cow. Each click earns you a point (or "Click"). You can invite your Facebook friends to your farm to click your cow, earning you more points. And, if you choose not to wait six hours to click your cow again, you can pay money (called "mooney" in the game) to click your cow early.
It is a game that buries social games under the weight of their silly gameplay, poor design, terrible social structures and micro-transactions. But it is, itself, a Facebook game. What's worse, it became a hugely successful Facebook game, where players spent actual money to get more cows and click them often enough to get more and more points. Cow Clicker knows it is a dumb game and revels in it, but it takes a very special game to know it's bad, flaunt its shortcomings while also managing to make money off of players who are being mocked for spending money on the very thing that is mocking them for spending money on it. WHAT?!

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Series (2003, 2007)
Developer/Publisher: Square Enix
My first exposure to the Final Fantasy world wasn't the much loved seventh installment of the series like everyone else. Instead, I first discovered the long running Japanese series with the 1997 title, Final Fantasy Tactics, the ridiculously challenging and hilariously translated strategical RPG spin-off. That game will forever and always be my favorite game, no matter how awesome you people say The Last of Us is.
So when Square Enix announced a Game Boy Advance follow-up to the game, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance in 2003, my 12 year old self probably peed himself (I don't remember what I had for lunch, let alone my reactions to things 10 years ago. That game, though not as difficult, was still engrossing and fun, and introduced a meta storyline that thrust the children protagonists into the world of Ivalice, the universe of the first Tactics game, but filled with misremembered aspects of the Final Fantasy Tactics. Even though the game was properly translated from Japanese, the convoluted storyline still made everything very confusing. But due to my non-kosher ways of playing video games by skipping the plot, I didn't care one bit.
With the release to the Nintendo DS sequel in 2008, Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, we saw the story get even more meta. The main characters found the book written about the kids from the first game's memory of playing the first game. So we're playing a game recreating a game recreating a game. And then the universe collapsed.

Kid Chameleon (1992)
Developer/Publisher: Sega
Back when I lived in Puerto Rico, we had exactly one video game rental location near our house. It was a weird little shack with a guy selling iguanas situated outside at all times and even though the place was terrifying in a way, it was nonetheless responsible for most of the few pleasurable memories I have of living on the island. But one thing that always frustrated me was the lack of multiple copies of games; I got the sense that the owner basically just bought games himself and rented them out to kids, so when something was checked out, you were never sure when you might get your chance at it. This was my first exposure to Kid Chameleon, as a game with great box art that I knew basically nothing about and kept returning to, week after week, trying to rent only to discover that I would once again be stuck choosing between Cool Spot or Bubsy.
What drew me to Kid Chameleon was its promise that you weren't just getting a single game experience out of it, but hundreds. The story of the game is that you're a kid who must fight his way through a suddenly self-aware VR console that is kidnapping other gamers. You accomplished this by wielding "masks" that gave you different abilities by transforming you into new characters, making it something between Tron and Dial H for Hero. Other kids told me it had more than one hundred unique levels (which, surprisingly, is basically true) and that it was insanely difficult (your mileage may vary) and when I finally did get to play it, I was impressed not just with the way it lived up to expectations but with how addictive it could be. Playing it now (it's available on the Sega Genesis Collection for modern consoles), the concept stands out to me more, as well as the way the warps in each level, which can either take you further in the level or to some other random new level, make the game unpredictable. It's an early meta game that was fairly progressive in its approach towards integrating video games themselves into the story of a video game, but it's also still just as addictive.
by Nick Hanover
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001)
Developer/Publisher: Konami
Like all Metal Gear Solid games, the plot of Sons of Liberty is something of a labyrinthine mess, but one stunning late-game twist is executed with perfect clarity of vision.
First, the Colonel, your primary guide throughout the game, begins to freak out and spout incoherent gibberish, at one point even telling you to turn the console off because you've been playing for too long. Then the death screen comes up while you're still alive, proclaiming your "Fission Mailed." It soon becomes clear that the virus you partially uploaded to the GW mainframe is taking effect, and the reason reality is on the fritz is that you're inside the GW mainframe. Everything that Raiden has done has been part of a simulation designed to replicate the events of the Shadow Moses incident in Metal Gear Solid – which, duh, now it's super obvious. Things get a little fuzzy from there, with a whole thing about a One World government trying to control the flow of information so that, I don't know, more PMCs can exist, but the damage is already done by that point. By discrediting the one thing you could trust – the instructions the game gives you – Metal Gear Solid 2 blazed new territory in postmodern gaming.
Hideo Kojima had already toyed with postmodern aspects in this series (Psycho Mantis, anyone?), but Sons of Liberty ushered in an ambitious new era of paranoid, experimental video game plotting – the first of many things (everything) that changed in the wake of 9/11.
by John Bender
No More Heroes (2007)
Developer: Grasshopper Manufacture | Publishers: Marvelous Entertainment, Ubisoft, Rising Star Games
Realistically, any Suda51 game could have made this list, but while I appreciate the exploration of mental illness that is killer7 and loved the goofy gore sensibilities of Lollipop Chainsaw, I'd argue that No More Heroes stands out as Suda's greatest accomplishment to date. Focused on Travis Touchdown, a fantasy otaku hero who spends his days slacking off and playing video games, the game picks up with Touchdown winning an internet auction that nets him a beam katana. No More Heroes initially got press as being the first "light saber" game for the Wii and while that's pretty much true, that leaves out all of the insanity and humor that makes the game so special.
Wielding the beam katana is of course fun beyond belief, as Suda51 really nailed the fluidness that every Star Wars geek imagined a light saber to have, but what makes the game so memorable is Suda51's impeccable integration of video game tropes and cliches into not just the meta story he's telling, but the mechanics as well. Slicing up baddies causes them to explode in a rain of coins and blood, nailing combos causes Travis to go into a super powered "Dark Side" mode, he can learn wrestling moves for extra attacks and he essentially jerks off the katana in order to charge it up. Beyond that, the story itself is about the ultimate quest to beat out the assassins dominating the top 10 highest scores and Travis spends his downtime playing video games in his apartment while his cat cuddles up with him. The assassins function as references to gamer and geek culture, from an Apple II parody beam katana to a crazy cowboy who wields weapons from killer7 to a boss in cosplay and the basic explanation for why Travis decides to take them down is because he no longer has money to buy video games and the quest not only aids that, but functions like a video game in the process.
Like Danger Mouse's The Grey Album, No More Heroes is a mash-up that is very aware of its format and its limitations, yet rises above both to become a startling work of art, but in the case of the latter it's a result of the fun it has with the form rather than the seriousness it imparts on an often ridiculed genre.
by Nick Hanover
The Secret of Monkey Island (1990)
Developer/Publisher: Lucasfilm Games
The old LucasArts adventure games from the likes of Ron Gilbert, Tim Schaffer and Dave Grossman are still – to this day – some of the best examples of how well humor can work in an interactive artform. But what The Secret of Monkey Island did was remind players that what they were doing wasn't helping Guybrush Threepwood become a pirate by solving puzzles and win the heart of Elaine, but playing a video game.
Many times, the game chooses to break the fourth wall and speak directly to the player. One example of this is when Threepwood meets Herman Toothrot. After a while, Toothrot turns to the player and addresses them in annoyance of poor Guybrush. After doing this a few times, Guybrush asks, "Who are you talking to?" to which Toothrot exclaims, "Why, the people watching, of course." Threepwood also meets a character named Cobb – from another LucasArts game, Loom – who tries to convince the player to go out buy Loom. Then, a fake advertisement comes up reading, "Go out and buy Loom™ today!" These happen all throughout the game.
But the most meta occurrence comes at the game's finale, when a dialogue option comes up after Threepwood states that he has learned a lot from his experiences throughout the game. When Elaine asks what he means, one of the options that the player can choose to say is, "Never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game."
by Nick Boisson
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$! (2003)
Developer/Publisher: Nintendo
The basic premise of the WarioWare franchise is that Wario, upon seeing a news report on the success of a fictional gaming franchise about a Yoshi-like bird named Pyoro, decides to create his own production company (WarioWare, Inc.) and release a party video game with the help of his friends. Their game, which bears the uninspired title WarioWare, Inc., is what you, the player, end up playing.
None of this is important, though, or even really made apparent when you play the game. What is most memorable about the WarioWare games is the gameplay itself, which features a rapid-fire chain of microgames featuring simple commands – Eat! Land! Hide! – that typically must be completed in under 5 seconds. The insane pace of play is the most extreme conceivable example of a minigame: there is no plot, no context, only a bizarre, brief task at which you can either fail or succeed. The GameCube version of the game is the first multiplayer edition, and this mode especially hammers home the winking commentary about minigame-centric franchise cash-ins like Mario Party. All of Wario's fellow "developers" in the game are unknown, generically named weirdos with vague themes for their microgames such as Strange (Mona's forte) or Reality (Dr. Crygor, of course!), but they seem designed to satirize the ever-expanding rosters of crossover party games in our world.
One gets the feeling that within the realm of the Nintendoverse, WarioWare, Inc. is the party game that kept young Mario and his friends up all night at sleepovers.

Roland JV-1080 Super JV
The Roland JV-1080 was one of the hottest and most popular digital synthesizers ever to come from Roland. Incredible sound quality capable of emulating any instrument imaginable plus totally fat analog synth type sounds and loads of percussion! It has 64 voices of polyphony and 16 part multitimbral, it's no wonder this is part of almost every Film Score Composers set-up as well as many more artists and hobbyists!
It has 8MB of sounds and it also offers a lot of expandability with 4 expansion slots and 2 data card memory slots. You can get up to 42MB of sounds by adding any of the popular JV-80 expansion cards suited for Techno, World Instruments, Orchestral or Synthesizers. The 1080 has a large LCD screen, lots of effects and filters for creative flexibility, motion control and extensive MIDI implementation. Editing is intense but enhanced and simplified by external editors like MOTU's Unisyn. It is used by Faithless, Hardfloor, Vangelis, Scanner, Roni Size, LTJ Bukem and Apollo 440.

ChangeIt software enhanced tremendously the operational easiness of this unit for me. Patch&Performance editing is now a joy (before it was like trying to play tetris from the front panel buttons!).
On a side related note: does anyone knows where I can find the expansion board "keyboards from the 60's & 70's" at an affordable price? I'm in Italy and here everyone asks for 150 euros as starting price! I'm a bit on a tight budget, but I need those mellotron samples for live use.

taking all the LA synth heritage and producing what was, the benchmark exmaple. i tried some newer versions but somehow the magic wasnt quite their.
i owned both an XV3080 and 5080 and neither of them gave me that all in experience. the fact it was limited in some ways just made you work harder = stronger results.

The ten worst rat runs in north London - has your street made the list? (From Times Series)

The ten worst rat runs in north London - has your street made the list?
Updated 6:40pm Wednesday 21st May 2014 in News By Chris Hewett
Cars speeding along narrow streets, loggerhead traffic jams on a daily basis and constant beeping and revving from irate motorists.
These are just some of the complaints raised by readers when we asked them to send us their nominations for the Worst Rat Run in North London.
Dozens of people responded by venting their frustrations and nominating their own stress-inducing thoroughfare.
And now, having now sorted through all of the entries, we have compiled a list of the worst ten.
Cressingham Road, Edgware
What you said: "The road is nothing short of a race track during the morning and evening rush hours. It is used as a rat run in both directions by drivers cutting through this densely populated estate. What compounds the problem are the factors that Cressingham Road runs alongside Watling Park, which has three entrance gates alongside the pavement. This makes it especially dangerous for the many children that use this very large park."
Chapel Lane, Pinner
What you said: "It is supposed to be a quiet road beside the park. Unfortunately now it's a race track for cars and heavy goods vehicles. The lane is not wide enough for two cars to pass, it's on a slight hill and has a long blind spot half way up. Regrettably, the pavement is very narrow as well and does not allow two people to pass without one going into the road. With cars passing you at 30 to 40mph just inches away, it's an accident waiting to happen. I have just recently delivered 80 petition letters into Westbury Lodge Close and Windsor court asking for the council to do something to slow traffic down. We have had 50 signed letters back."
Allerton Road, Borehamwood
What you said: "This road is just a terrible rat run. People use it as a short cut from Radlett up to Aycliffe Road and they use it to avoid the humps in Aycliffe Road.
"We have a school at the end of the road, so it is very busy, and buses travel up and down it as well. There is also a park where lots of little children play, but people speed up and down because it is a clear stretch of road. There are no signs to say that there are children playing or a school sign, and there is no speed limit sign to be seen. This is an accident waiting to happen."
Hartforde Road, Borehamwood, from Cowley Hill Road to Brook Road
What you said: "The parking on both sides of the road is awful, there are major traffic jams at school times, and when the road is clear during the day and evenings it is like a race track with no traffic calming. A car smashed into my neighbour's front garden wall, resulting in our wall having to be replaced at a cost of £2,000."
Chase Green Avenue (A) and Drapers Road (B), Enfield
What you said: "They are both pleasant residential streets that are plagued by fast moving traffic at most times of the day. Drapers Road is used to cut off the roundabout at the junction of the Ridgeway and Lavender Hill and Chase Green Avenue provides a quick way to get into Enfield Town, avoiding Windmill Hill. Having lived in the area for nearly 40 years the worsening changes are very noticeable."
Ringslade Road/Watson Road, Wood Green
What you said: "Figures show that 2,600 vehicles use this road as a cut-through every day. At peak time, 8am, it's 300 vehicles an hour. This dips a little after 9am but is pretty constant throughout the day. It's been a long time wrestling with the council on this and at a recent public meeting the council said they were considering 3 options, one of which was 'do nothing' - just incredible."
Arnold Gardens, Palmers Green
What you said: "Traffic volume has significantly increased over the 30 years I have lived in the street. It is virtually one way in the mornings during rush hour because of the volume of traffic wanting to join the A406. We also are used as an escape route at all times of day and night when the A406 is blocked. Finally, parking in Arnold Gardens and the surrounding roads is virtually impossible on Friday lunchtimes and the roads are frequently blocked. On several occasions I have had to abandon my car several roads away and collect it later in the afternoon."
Torrington Park, Friern Barnet
What you said: "Several elderly people have difficulty crossing the road to get the 383 bus, sometimes because the traffic is too fast. There have been several accidents, one in which a VW collided with a bus. Fortunately no one was killed, but the council will only wait for a fatality before they do something about it. Several pets - including one of our cats - have been killed over the year."
Well End Road, Shenley
What you said: "It is a major cut through for traffic on the M25 going to Borehamwood. There are two schools, Clore Shalom and Shenley Primary, on this route. The pavements are tiny and on one side of the road only, and as a result, pedestrians have to keep crossing the road. Cars speed along here at well over the designated limits, huge lorries use the road as well, I believe illegally. There have been many accidents and near misses along this stretch."
St Paul's Avenue, Harrow, between Kenton Road and Honeypot Lane
What you said: "Heavy goods vehicles use it constantly every day and it is also used by parents of children from The Jewish Free School, in The Mall, during the morning and evening school run.
"Some vehicles go at high speed down the road night and day. Speed bumps were put in a number of years ago but they don't make any difference. I have taken this up with Harrow Council from time to time but to no avail."

The latest traffic survey shows around 3200 vehicles a day are using it as a short cut.
The residents have been pleading with the council to stop using our local roads as the Wood Green bypass - and yet - the council sits on its hands.
Ringslade Road sits in the shadow of Haringey HQ, the fact the highways engineers have done nothing to help shows just what a bunch of inept people work in the department.
And where are our councillors? AWOL.
The area needs traffic management and solutions. None have so far been forthcoming from council or councillor.

If the problem is all traffic, then block the road with bollards which allow cyclists and pedestrians through, but not any vehicle. (e.g. Gordon Road Finchley)
If the issue is lorries and vans, not cars, then use bollards to create a 6 foot 6 pinch point stopping them going through. (E.g. Netherlands Road Oakleigh Park)
Minimum costs, maximum effect.

They have been promising us for years that they will put something in place to stop drivers using this tiny road as a rat run. I don't believe a single word of it. Definetly the worst council officers I have ever dealt with. That's another list that could be compiled!

The 2012 Farmers Insurance Open is a bit of an undercard in the golf world this week — some Tiger Woods character is playing his first tournament of 2012 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship in Dubai — but that doesn't mean it won't be an entertaining tournament. It might be more entertaining if the 2011 duel between Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson recurs.
Watson shot a final round 67 to beat Mickelson by two strokes at the Torrey Pines course in La Jolla in 2011, and did so with Mickelson in his final group. The two talented Americans won't be in a group together on Thursday, but could obviously play themselves into contention and wind up grouped together by the weekend.
There are a lot of good players in the field, though, and the tournament could be wide open, as the only player in the top 10 of the current World Golf Rankings teeing it up at the Farmers Insurance Open is No. 9 Dustin Johnson.
Here are some of the most important tee times and pairings for Thursday's first round. All times are Eastern, and you can catch TV coverage of the 2012 Farmers Insurance Open on The Golf Channel from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., or watch the event via the PGA Tour's free live online stream.
Torrey Pines (South Course) Tee #1
11:50 a.m.: Anthony Kim, D.A. Points, Jhonattan Vegas
1:00 p.m.: Ernie Els, Geoff Ogilvy, Justin RoseRose, Justin Els, Ernie Ogilvy, Geoff
1:10 p.m.: Hunter Mahan, Phil Mickelson, Nick Watney
Torrey Pines (South Course) Tee #10
12:40 p.m.: Ricky Barnes, J.J. Henry, Boo Weekley
Torrey Pines (North Course) Tee #10
11:40 a.m.: Bud Cauley, John Mallinger, Rickie Fowler
11:50 a.m.: Dustin Johnson, Camilo Villegas, Gary Woodland

If Marco Rubio were a toy, he'd be a Rubik's Cube. The junior senator from Florida has been twisted and turned into such a multitude of combinations and near alignments, it can be as frustrating to get a handle on him as it is to finish the maddening 1980s nerd square.
He's been the guy who as Florida House speaker got stick from conservatives for allegedly "slow-walking" anti-immigration bills, and the guy who quieted tea party suspicions of him when he challenged apostate then-Republican Gov. Charlie Crist for the U.S. Senate from the right. Rubio has been against first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and for Arizona's "papers, please" law after changing his mind.
He's been the Republican savior — the Latino Ronald Reagan, best friend of tea partying Sen. Jim DeMint and "frenemy" of his mentor Jeb Bush.
Mostly, Rubio has been seen, by politicos and the media, as the GOP's one-man answer to the party's biggest demographic problem: the seven in 10 Latinos who voted for Barack Obama instead of Mitt Romney. The reason: Rubio is Hispanic. And supposedly, he can pass immigration reform.
In September 2009, the conservative National Review magazine featured Rubio on its cover under the Obamaesque caption: "Yes he can: Florida conservative Marco Rubio's play for the Republican future."
Then in January 2010, the New York Times magazine put him on its cover, with the declarative question: "The First Senator from the Tea Party?" Shrewdly, Rubio declined to join the actual caucus.
In February, he was on the cover of TIME magazine and with typical old media subtlety, was crowned "The Republican Savior." That got such a chilly reception from Right Wing World, Rubio quickly disavowed it, hitting Twitter with Maximum Conservativespeak by reminding the faithful that "there is only one savior: #Jesus."
Now, however, with the immigration bill that is his signal offering as a national political figure, having cleared its first filibuster hurdle in the Senate, Rubio might need to ask: What Would #Jesus Do?
Conservatives hate the bill. The GOP base hates the idea of immigration reform, which they call "amnesty."
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — an Even Better Hispanic Conservative, because he seems scientifically designed to repel fellow Latinos by talking — is nipping at Rubio's 2016 heels, as is Rand Paul. Both joined 13 other Republicans in Tuesday's futile filibuster of the Senate "Gang of Eight" immigration bill.
Suddenly, Rubio is finding out that Republican support for immigration reform goes about as deep as GOP political consultants. The base, it turns out, doesn't much care what TIME magazine or The New York Times desire.
Meanwhile, the National Review has turned on Marco. Their latest cover is entitled "Rubio's folly," and depicts Florida's senator standing between two enemies of the conservative state: Sens. John McCain, Republican of Arizona, and New York Democrat Chuck Schumer.
In this intractably confusing game, Rubio has found himself scrambling to alternately embrace and disavow the immigration bill; racing from microphone to microphone, groveling on right-wing talk radio, demanding more border-security amendments in a fruitless effort to appease old Dixies like Alabama's Jeff Sessions, and occasionally simply declaring the bill dead on arrival.
If the bill ultimately succeeds, Rubio is sure to get the credit from Official Washington. His base? Not so much. If he engineers the reform's demise, he'd lose what's left of his media luster, and he'd still have to get in line behind Cruz and Paul, who have been consistent crusaders against the bill.
Rubio seems to have consoled himself by raising money —$2.3 million in the first quarter of 2013, and every fresh setback or advance seems to bring him a new avalanche of cash.
In the end, Rubio may benefit from his ambidextrous approach to immigration reform. But since, at the moment, he's not known for anything else (except that unfortunate sip from a tiny bottle of water on national television), Rubio has no choice but to keep playing the game.

Please vote below for your favorite meme!
Let's face it: Spurs are a DAMN good looking and attractive team. Between Scott Parker's homage to a 1940s RAF pilot, Jan Vertonghen and Michael Dawson's well-manicured combovers, Gareth Bale's spikes, Hugo Lloris' flyaways, and Benoit Assou-Ekotto's myraid designs, we could have the most attractive side in the history of ever. Combine that with the gaffer's ginger stubble, and...I'll be in my bunk.
9: We'll all feel terrible when Aston Villa are relegated on goal difference
Aston Villa have been a member of the Premier League since it was formed in 1992. They have the second most seasons in the top flight behind Everton. They are a former European Cup Champion and used to be a perennial top 5 finisher. This is a massive club. Unfortunately, they have fallen on hard times, have lost their captain to Leukemia (get well, Stan), and are currently in the bottom three based on...goal difference. They were thrashed in back to back games 8-0 by Chelski and 4-0 by Spurs. A WAGNH commenter brought up us feeling bad. I will feel bad.

Our stunning collection certainly gives you plenty of choice and options. Using our handy tips and following our size guide, you'll find the perfect lingerie for your shape as well as your personal style.

Up to 80% of women are wearing the wrong sized bra so if your bra is nipping, pinching or is genrally uncomfortable, then you may be in the wrong bra size. Try pur simple checklist for getting the right fit:
- The wires in the middle of your chest should sit flat and securely against your rib cage in the crease of your bust.
- Wires should cradle the breast tissue - never press against it. Your bra should support, not cause discomfort.
- Breasts should not bulge out of the cup either at the top or at the side and, equally, the cup should not gape.
- The band should sit horizontally across your back in line with the wires at the front.
- Adjust the length of your straps to give support but they should be comfortable.
Our guide to measuring your breasts will help you to find the right bra for you
- Find your band by measuring around your ribcage just below your breast tissue, the tape should be snug but don't pull too tight.
- If this measurement is an even number add 4 to give your back size, if this is an odd number add 5. For example if you measure 28 inches, add 4 to get 32 or if you measure 31 inches add 5 to get a back size of 36.
- Measure around the fullest part of your breasts, again don't pull the tape too tight.
- Calculate your cup size by working out the difference between this measurement and your back size. If your bust measure 1 inch more than your back size this is an A cup. 2 inches more is = B cup, 3 inches more = C cup and so on.

Full meeting of Thurrock Council
Updated 10:10pm Wednesday 26th February 2014 in News By Matt Abbott, Chief Reporter
This live event has finished
- Full meeting of Thurrock Council begins at 7pm
- The council is due to agree its budget tonight
- Questions are also due to be asked on free schools, the junction at Wharf Road in Stanford-le-Hope and what is being done to encourage more cycling in Thurrock
Thank you for logging on to follow our live blog of this meeting!
A nice way to end this full council meeting, with plenty of praise for Treetops school.
Cllr John Kent describes Mr Smith, the headteacher as "remarkable" and as having high expectations of pupils, regardless of their learning difficulties.
People move from other parts of the country to attend Treetops school, council members say.
Cllr Worrall decribes Treetops as an "amazing" school.
He wants the council to show its support for the headteacher Paul Smith and the chair of governors Alan Peaford.
He says it is nationally recognised but is not mentioned enough in the council chamber.
Cllr Terry Hipsey is now proposing a motion, extolling the virtues of Treetops School.
The Conservatives have just accused portfolio holder for public protection Angie Gaywood of acting as a barrier to making Corringham police station a base for police. Cllr Gaywood said she would love for the former station - now occupied by the Thurrock Youth Offending Service - to be of more use to the police, but the police are saying it cannot happen.
Councillor Tolson says the council is not responding quickly enough to pot holes being reported. It could end up costing more money through claims.
Cllr Smith says the council repairs pot holes as quickly as it can.
A question now about the disparity in the quality of some of Thurrock's roads.
Cllr Smith said the council use a machine to test road quality.
The council is holding more than £341,000 in planning gain money from four schools in Thurrock. That money will be transferred to schools as and when they need it.
Those questions are here
Still here folks. We're now onto questions from councillors to their fellow councillors...
You can read her report here
That report is passed, too.
Only Cllr Aaron Kiely voted against the proposals.
Now Bukky Okunade, the portfolio holder for children and social care, is giving an annual report on her portfolio.
The council is set to agree a five per cent rise in council housing rent. But consensus is there is still lots to do to bring the council's housing stock up to scratch.
But the budget has passed.
Now discussion moves onto this. Housing Base Estimates, Rents and Services Charges 2014/15.
Apologies for the recent silence. The council are voting on the budget now.
But it's taking ages. It's like a school register...
Cllr Victoria Holloway said that she is shocked at how blasé the Conservatives are. She said the financial situation is dire and "the opposition just want to make jokes about sausage sandwiches".
Now Cllr Lynn Carr, a Conservative councillor in Ockendon, Cllr Kiely's ward:
"If this is about saving money, maybe Cllr Kiely would like to hand back his allowances."
Never a dull moment. We're back talking about the budget now...
Now Cllr Sue Little asks where Cllr Kiely has been and why he doesn't attend meetings. Cllr Kiely shouts back "It's not what you do at meetings that makes a difference" and "It stops you lot running the council."
First direct response to Cllr Kiely's speech from Cllr Mike Revel: "I quite enjoyed that view of the Marxist way of life."
In the meantime, the portfolio holder for regeneration, Andy Smith, asks why more isn't being made by the opposition to the borough's regeneration plans.
Now Cllr Kiely. And he's going for it here.
He says he will be voting against this budget. His party's own budget.
He says the central government (the Conservatives) are responsible for a cost of living crisis.
He claims the Conservatives are a disgrace. And that here in Thurrock, the Conservatives are failing to stand up for their residents.
He gets a round of applause from his own members.
He says he will not be supporting this budget as it isn't detailed enough. But he claims he will support the tax freeze.
Now the deputy leader of the Conservative party is now speaking.
He responds to Cllr Kent's claims that the Thurrock Conservatives never froze council tax, prior to 2010, by saying the then Labour-run central government never offered a tax freeze.
Cllr Rice says the cuts are required because of the Conservative government's austerity measures, despite growing pressures on services.
Cllr Barbara Rice, the deputy leader of the council, has called this a "truly amazing" budget. Lots of talk of "balance" and "breakeven".
A round of applause for Cllr Kent's response from the Labour party here. He says this is a good, balanced budget - that freezes council tax - in very trying times.
Cllr Kent now adds that the detail on this budget was agreed last year.
The council has made £50million of cuts in four years, says Mr Kent, as he responds to Cllr Anderson's claims that the Labour-run council "ducks the big decisions".
Cllr Anderson said this budget report is not detailed enough and amounts to the council saying "trust us it will be ok".
Worth pointing out that a two year budget was agreed this time last year.
Cllr Phil Anderson is responding to Cllr Kent's introduction of the budget. He said he is confused at why the council have decided to accept a government grant to freeze council tax, when it was rejected last year.
But he said despite that: Council tax has been frozen to the lowest rates in Essex, reserves stocked up for the future, a council ready for the financial challenges of the future and the "most exciting regeneration plan" in the country.
The council leader is now outlining the further cuts needed - £40million in the next four years. That's a third of the council's whole budget...
The general fund budget report is here for your reading, should you wish.
In fact, the leader is now outlining how the council has made its savings.
The leader claims the council has saved £1000 a day by "better management of its assets".
Now John Kent is introducing the report on this year's budget. Council tax is set to be frozen, but the police have decided to put their part of the tax up by two per cent.
We're now discussing the fees and charges report. Should you be so inclined to look at that, you can, here.
The Conservatives are unhappy that they are being asked to vote on the price of a sausage sandwich at the Culver Centre cafe. Cllr Phil Anderson, the Tory leader in Thurrock, argues this sort of thing should not be voted on. He said this is too bureaucratic.
The details of the "Gloriana" scheme can be found here.
The amendment proposed by the Conservatives is kicked out (all the Labour councillors are here).
Cllr Kent said: "We simply need more affordable housing in Thurrock."
There is some debate now over Gloriana, a scheme the council is trying to set up to build new homes in Thurrock.
The Conservatives are saying this should be debated before the council agrees for that money (£160million) to be borrowed and paid back at a cost.
Cllr Mike Revel, a Tory, says: "This is a bit sketchy in my mind to be convincing our residents we'll be giving value for money."
You can get involved with tonight's meeting by having your say on issues as they arise at tonight's meeting.
Leave a comment below or tweet me (@GazetteMatt) and i'll insert them into this live feed.
A member of the public has just asked that the £611,000 granted to Essex County Council and Thurrock Council to manage the Mardyke Way has been "spent for the purpose intended".
To which Mr Kent has responded that he is satisfied this money was spent - as intended - between 2005 and 2008.
Council leader John Kent is just making a statement about Ofsted's visit to schools in Thurrock.
The government watchdog will visit seven schools this week and hold telephone conferences with 10 others. Mr Kent welcomes the visit and expects a "no punches held" report.
He adds: "I wish they had done it a year ago."
The Mayor, Anthony Fish, tells members that he will have racked up more than 300 engagements since becoming Mayor last May.
Rev. Darren Barlow of the Grays Thurrock Ministry is talking about how Thurrock plans to commemorate International Commonwealth Day. On Monday, March 10 at 9.45am there will be a flag-raising ceremony outside the council offices.
Anyway, the mayor is here and we're underway.
The first thing to report tonight from Civic Offices in Grays is that Aaron Kiely is here. The Ockendon Labour councillor isn't often at these meetings as regular readers of the Gazette will know well. But he's here tonight as the council prepares to agree its budget.
This time last year, Kiely turned up - one of the last meetings he attended - and voted against his party's own budget.
Good evening and welcome to tonight's meeting of Thurrock Council!

poortaxpayer says...
I am sure this has nothing to do with his support and his voting for, against officers advice, for the housing development on the Fireman's site in Aveley.
Part f the reason he gave for supporting this greenbelt development was the money the developer giving t the community, including money for a new sports hall for Treetops.
His motion has nothing to do with Eric Pickles MP calling this development in has it?
Surely he wouldn't be using the borough's special needs kids to score some political points against those campaigning against the development in Aveley would he? That really would be a rather cynical thing to do.

How are Waldorf Schools and Montessori Schools alike/different? I love this question because I love the story that answers it. Legend has it that Maria Montessori and Rudolf Steiner met after the first World War to discuss how best to heal society after such devastating tragedy. Both scientists and philosophers, they agreed that education of the future generation was the key for a healthy future. Montessori felt that in Italy, all people ever did was feel, feel, feel, and they never THOUGHT about ANYthing. Steiner felt that people in Germany engaged in plenty of thinking, but it wasn't permeated with any FEELING. So, they each created an educational method that provided balance in their respective societies.
6th/7th Grade Spanish - Jose Marti
Senora Mixon took advantage of a call for artwork surrounding the topic of the White Rose, a nonviolent resistance movement in Germany during World War II. Students translated Jose Marti's poem, "I Cultivate a White Rose," and then completed artistic renderings using pastels. Children ages 3 to 18 years have sent in artistic responses to the theme of the courage to stand alone in the face of unjust practices.

Anthroposophy: It's not just a Tongue Twister -- Anthro…what? Anth-ro-POS-ophy. I like to think of it as a combination of anthropology and philosophy—the study of mankind. And why do you care? Because it's the philosophical basis for Waldorf education. In a nutshell, it's what makes us different. And that means it's at least partially why you chose AWS for your child's schooling and why your child's teacher chooses AWS as a place to work...
Jaimen McMillan Visits AWS! ...His (Jaimen's) lecture focused around the idea that we don't need to ban digital media, as much as we need to be educated about it, especially before exposing a child to it. So, how can you prepare a child for exposure to virtual reality? How can you strengthen them so that they are not taken in by what they are watching?...

The Timeless Quality of Waldorf Education
"When I speak to people about the wisdom of Waldorf education, I am struck by its timelessness. I often say that things are different here at the Waldorf school because we know what we are doing, the curriculum is set and was built around the development of the healthy child, and it's been practiced and honed to a fine art over 92 years."
"For three weeks in November, AWS will, for the fifth consecutive year, host a student of the American Eurythmy School in California. Student Karen Robertson is completing her practicum for Euruythmy Certification here, which means that AWS students will get to experience this unique Waldorf art form!"

More than 150 volunteers in Albany used Martin Luther King Day to help others.
Georgia Power hosted events with the Second Harvest Food bank and the Flint Riverquarium. Volunteers of all ages packed 2400 boxes full of nutritious food for families in need.
And some folks helped out at the Riverquarium, cleaning out the vegetation around the blue hole.
"I feel like that's what it's all about is growing as a community and the fact that we're out here helping out, I feel like bringing the community together," said Stephan Shelton.
"It shows commitment to the community. And as an employee of Georgia Power and all Georgia Power employees, were involved in the community," said GA Power Operations Maintenance Manager Steve Green.
Every year Georgia Power uses MLK day to promote community service. Food bank leaders say the volunteers make a big difference. 1,200 boxes of food will be sent out this month. The remaining 1,200 will go out next month.

On Monday night, Sept. 10, crews will begin replacement of the Interstate 95 northbound bridge over Hermitage Road as part of the I-95 Bridges Restoration project. This bridge requires the placement of 12 pre-cast bridge units and is expected to take two weeks to complete, weather permitting.
Weeknights from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. September 10-20, I-95 will be reduced to one travel lane in each direction between the Lombardy Street bridge (mile marker 77) and Laburnum Avenue (mile marker 79). In addition, the ramp from I-95 south to Boulevard and Hermitage Road will be closed. From 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., the ramp from Boulevard to I-95 north will be closed. Drivers are advised to follow the posted detour routes. Expect major delays.
Just south of the bridge over Hermitage Road, I-95 north traffic will merge onto the southbound bridge. Both I-95 north and south traffic will use the southbound bridge to maneuver around the construction. VDOT strongly encourages I-95 and I-64 travelers through Richmond use one of the following alternate routes to bypass the construction.
From I-95 south (Henrico): Access I-295 at exit 84 to reach I-64 east/west or areas south of Richmond; through travelers can use I-295 south to bypass Richmond and re-enter I-95 south at exit 46 in Prince George County. Local traffic can also take exit 82 (Chamberlayne Avenue/Route 1/301 south) to reach Richmond destinations.
From I-95 north (Prince George): Access I-295 at exit 46 to reach I-64 east/west or areas north of Richmond; through travelers can use I-295 north to bypass Richmond and re-enter I-95 north at exit 84 in Henrico County.
From I-64 east (Goochland/Henrico): There are three alternate routes:
From I-64 west (Henrico/New Kent): Access I-295 north at exit 200 to reach I-95 or to continue on to I-64 west of Richmond.

As Tommy, one of Howl at the Moon's piano players, explains on the club's website, "Every night…we try and throw a party, regardless of whether it's a Tuesday night or a Saturday night." The bar's trademark dueling pianos serve as the epicenter of these nightly celebrations; patrons submit their favorite songs on slips of paper for the pianists and backing musicians to recreate. If the website's playlist is any indication, the bands can handle popular songs from all genres and eras, from Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" to Kanye West's "All of the Lights." The performances are spirited: colorful lights splash upon a stage where servers, guests, and chairs that have somehow developed mobility all dance along to the music.
Fueling the celebration is the bar's indulgent selection of drinks. Servers stand over patrons to plunge jello injectors into their mouths, and revelers grab colorful straws to help drain 86-ounce booze buckets filled with sangria or other fruity libations. Pomegranate liqueur and honey-infused whiskey sweeten specialty cocktails, and local beers add depth to coolers stocked with Stella Artois and Dos Equis.
A self-described ?gastrolounge,? Hammerheads Beer and Wine Bar serves up creative, satisfying pub dishes alongside craft beers and frozen cocktails. Its dishes add a subtle, upscale twist to pub mainstays: kaiser rolls are filled with bourbon pulled pork, and corn dog balls are wrapped in applewood-smoked bacon before meeting their fate in the deep fryer. Boneless chicken wings and their cousin, a breaded chicken-breast sandwich, are carried to tables atop beds of savory coated french fries or sweet potato fries.
Alternating red and yellow walls create a cheery atmosphere, as does the collection of surfboards and pictures scattered throughout the pub. Regular karaoke nights challenge patrons to lock vocal cords with their buddies and demonstrate their crowd-pleasing prowess by making up choreography to accompany each song. Hammerheads also offers a variety of entertainment options each week, including movie nights, live music, and live interactive shows.
Unlike restaurants where drinks are an afterthought, Draft Orlando makes them an integral part of each meal. They stock their marble-topped bar with 40 draft beers and 100 bottled selections. In October of 2011, Orlando magazine restaurant critic Joseph Hayes recognized their efforts, stating, "whatever food you are contemplating, there is probably a matching beer." Hayes goes on to laud the eatery for its "well-executed takes on pub food like fish and chips and impressive crab-cake sliders." The chefs also branch out from classic pub cuisine by deep-frying calamari and sprinkling flatbreads with toppings such as Angus rib-eye steaks, which they age for 21 days.
The restaurant's walls incorporate geometric textures, and, depending on the time, the interior can be lit by everything from natural light to the gentle luminance of flat-screen TVs displaying staff screen savers of their pet rocks.
With 3 Kings Hookah Lounge's more than 75 flavors of shisha ready to fill visitors' pipes, the task of selecting just 1 can be daunting. Luckily, a staff well-versed in matching taste to tobacco helps customers to sift through aromatic mélanges that range from traditional flavors such as mint and strawberry to bowls of real apple, orange, and pineapple pilfered from a nearby still life. Between puffs, teas, baked goods, and appetizers such as samosas and naan pizzas keep mouths occupied. Minds stay engaged with belly dancing on Fridays, games on Sundays, and themed nights throughout the week that pay homage to Bollywood and Latin flair.
Plumes of hookah smoke scent the air of Zorba's Greek Taverna, where hints of jasmine, rose, and caramel mingle with the smells of garlic, tahini, and spices wafting from the kitchen. Slices of pita bread scoop up housemade tzatziki, and plates of moussaka layer eggplant, potatoes, and ground beef beneath béchamel and tomato sauces. An open flame licks marinated quail, and pepperoncini nestles beside gyro wraps, waiting to delight tongues with a slight kick. Greek coffee, beer, wine, and ouzo complement the dishes, and desserts such as baklava and three-layer chocolate cake end meals on a sweet note.
The menu at Cricketers Pub & Eatery has all the markings of a classic English pub?bangers and mash, shepherd's pie, fish and chips featuring Cricketer?s beer-battered haddock and hand-cut fries. And the scene inside the pub is immersive with cricket bats, Guinness paraphernalia, and club ties mounted on the walls while televisions showcase live European sporting events. Revelers can refuel with beers on tap and in bottles alongside a selection of hand-drawn ales. Chefs also cook full English breakfasts with eggs, English bacon, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, baked beans, and toast.

Review of official controls delivery
The Food Standards Agency reviewed how local authorities and port health authorities carry out activities to monitor and secure business compliance with food law. These activities are collectively known as 'official controls'.
The review aimed to evaluate how effective the current delivery model is and consider the scope for making improvements. Evidence was gathered to assess the current system.
The review was commissioned because of concerns about resource pressures, along with concerns about the inconsistency of the application of official controls across the UK. The findings point to the system remaining under pressure, but local authorities in general have told us that they are able to deliver the service.
The FSA Board discussed the high level findings on 5 March 2013 and agreed to close down the review in its current form.
Building on the evidence gathered by the review, new work to strengthen the support given to local authorities and port health authorities will be developed.
This work remains a key strategic priority for the FSA. Proposals on how the work will be taken forward will be presented to the Board in the coming months.

The National Sea Simulator
The Australian Institute of Marine Science's National Sea Simulator (SeaSim) is a world-class marine research aquarium facility enabling scientists to conduct cutting-edge research on tropical marine organisms not previously possible in Australia.
SeaSim provides a range of interconnected technical capabilities that can help us to better understand the cumulative impact of pressures on tropical marine ecosystems. Designed to encourage scientific collaboration, the facility is helping Australia to realise the potential benefits of a rapidly emerging blue economy.
Download the National Sea Simulator booklet (PDF | 1614KB)
SeaSim supports large, long-term, multi-factorial experiments on tropical marine environments. With a reliable, consistent supply of seawater, SeaSim provides fine control over many environmental variables including:
- Light
- Temperature
- Acidity/pCO2
- Salinity
- Sedimentation
- Contaminants
SeaSim enables Australian and international researchers to better determine the impact of complex environmental changes on tropical marine ecosystems by facilitating a whole-of-ecosystem approach in a manner similar to what occurs in nature.
In addition, the SeaSim facility aims to develop systems for the long-term holding and propagation of corals providing model organisms for research. This will provide the ability to conduct multi-generational studies which are critical in understanding the ways in which marine organisms acclimate and adapt to a changing environment.
SeaSim is located at the AIMS headquarters at Cape Ferguson, south of Townsville, Queensland. Proximity to quality seawater, distance from urban populations and support from the established AIMS facilities made this an ideal location for this world-class facility.
Government Support
In 2010 the Australian Institute of Marine Science was awarded funding for the development of the National Sea Simulator. This was provided by the Australian Government through its Super Science Marine and Climate Initiative, with support from the Education Investment Fund.
Research and Development
To develop a facility that addressed the needs of current and future tropical marine research, AIMS staff married technologies from the large-scale public aquarium industry with those from the industrial process sector. This was supplemented with tours of leading aquarium and marine research facilities and expert advice from leading technology developers across the world. Integration of this knowledge with expertise from industrial process designers undoubtedly resulted in one of the most exciting advances in marine experimental research seen in Australia.
A prototype facility was constructed to thoroughly design concepts prior to full-scale implementation and to develop and construct suitable systems and methodologies for holding and propagating coral reef organisms. Highly qualified staff with skills in large public aquaria, process controls and technology, aquaculture and coral biology were recruited and developed a growing body of knowledge, adding significant value to the initial design and build phase of the Sea Simulator.
Construction and Opening
The then Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research announced commencement of construction on 13 July 2011 and officially opened SeaSim on 1 August 2013.
SeaSim by numbers
- 3 000 000 L filtered seawater pumped per day (full capacity)
- 3 650 000 L of bulk seawater storage capacity
- 3022m2 floor area
- 28.2 km of pipework
- 43 seawater pumps
- 33 seawater processing tanks
- 3 450L hot (40°C) seawater storage
Accessing SeaSim & more information
For information on accessing the SeaSim facility for research purposes, contact: Dr Lyndon Lewellyn or Mr Craig Humphrey.
