The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report by Italian leading privately-owned centre-right newspaper
Corriere della Sera, on 16 December
[Commentary by Massimo Gaggi: "Iraq, US Flag Lowered: The Nine-Year War
Is Over"]
New York - With no triumphal fanfare, amid a silence broken only by the
helicopters tasked with preventing any terrorist cells that might be
hiding in the area from launching rockets, the flag lowering ceremony
was held yesterday at Baghdad Airport. This marked the end of the US
military presence in Iraq, which lasted eight years, eight months, and
26 days following the attack launched by George W. Bush in March 2003.
Defence Secretary Leon Panetta - who arrived in the country just an hour
before the beginning of the withdrawal ceremony, which was held in a
square that had been turned into an open-air bunker surrounded by
reinforced concrete walls - paid tribute to the 4,487 dead US soldiers,
to the over 30,000 injured, and to the many Iraqi victims (150,000
according to the most reliable estimates). He spoke in front of 200
soldiers and some Baghdad officials, though the places reserved for
Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Maliki and President Talabani remained empty.!
Then the white flag with a shield in the middle - the symbol of the US
forces in Iraq - was folded, placed in a case, and flown back to the
United States, where almost all of the soldiers that have guaranteed
military control of the country so far have already returned. Over nine
years, 1.5 million Americans have performed tours of duty in the Middle
Eastern country. At the height of the offensive, in 2007, the number of
US soldiers peaked at 170,000 and the number of bases at 505. The last
4,000 soldiers will leave by the end of the year, with only 200
remaining, who will have diplomatic status and will be deployed at the
US Embassy in Baghdad.
This is the end of one of the most painful and costly chapters in US
history. It was costly not only in terms of human lives, but also given
that US taxpayers have spent around $800 bn. Yesterday, the US people
saw the images of this tragic film: the reaction against the 2001
terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, and the offensive against Saddam
Husayn's regime that was launched on the basis of two assumptions that
turned out to be baseless. These were that Iraq was a threat to the
world because of its arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, and that it
was a welcoming shelter for Al-Qa'idah terrorists. The weapons did not
exist, and terrorists actually took advantage of the civil war that
followed the US occupation to become rooted in Iraq.
Barack Obama has always been against this war, and once he became
President he took on his shoulders this heavy legacy left by Bush,
trying to manage the military presence in the Gulf country in the best
way possible, extolling the sacrifice made by the US soldiers who served
in Iraq and highlighting the only positive aspect of a conflict that
lasted nine years: the removal of a bloodthirsty dictator, who was
replaced by a government elected by the people. However, the frail Iraqi
democracy in this country with a Shi'i majority has so far made itself
noticed for a number of dangerous overtures to the Iranian regime of the
Obama, who had promised voters since the campaign of 2008 to withdraw US
soldiers from Iraq, can now say that he has honoured this commitment.
However, in the speech he made at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, where
the famous 82nd Airborne Division is based, a few hours before the
ceremony in Baghdad, the discomfort of a President who was forced to
talks about "heroes" and "legendary battles" with regards to a wrong war
was palpable. This conflict has devastated the image of the United
States: Initially relieved because of the fall of Saddam Husayn and well
disposed towards the Americans, the Iraqis shifted from trust to
mistrust, and then to hostility as incidents, misunderstandings, and
massacres - including of women and children - multiplied.
These are the images that the Americans saw again yesterday: the almost
unhindered advance in the desert, Saddam Husayn's statue toppled in
Baghdad, Bush on the brid ge of an aircraft carrier saying his famous
"Mission Accomplished." This was in May 2003, at the beginning of an
infinite series of images of death and desperation. The Americans were
determined to leave a long time ago but, aware of the extreme frailty of
the state structures of the new Iraq, and of the inconsistency of its
defence system, they would have liked to leave around a few thousand
soldiers behind as instructors and "military advisers." But this was not
possible due to the hostility of the Iraqi public and the opposition of
the new government - which, yet, will preserve solid ties with the
United States: Al-Maliki was in Washington just last week.
Yesterday in Baghdad, after the flags had been lowered, Gen Lloyd Austin
III confessed that the Americans were leaving behind a country that
would not be capable of defending its borders in the event of an attack
from outside.

"Retrieval Practice" is A Proven Way to StudyPosted by: Livia McCoy on Nov 01, 2011 in Parent Involvement, Middle School, Livia McCoy, Kids Learning, Homework, High School, Elementary School |
Many students do not know the best methods to use when studying for a test.
According to Jeffrey D. Karpicke, a researcher at Purdue University, a lot of students don't understand that they can't be looking at what they are trying to learn in order to learn it. Instead, they really need to put the material away and try to remember it without looking.
"When students have the material right in front of them, they think they know it better than they actually do," Karpicke says. "Many students do not realize that putting the material away and practicing retrieval is such a potent study strategy."
Purdue researchers call this "retrieval practice" and they claim that students should do this every night as part of their homework. Specifically, they should sit and try to remember new things they learned so far in a unit.
This retrieval practice helps to consolidate the learning into long-term memory.
A way for students to practice retrieving information without looking at it is by using this customizable vocabulary chart from SchoolFamily.com. If students study by using elaborative strategies such as webbing (which I recommend), they should also incorporate retrieval practice into their routine.
Editor's note: For more studying-related tips and strategies, check out these other blog posts from Livia McCoy on SchoolFamily.com:

How email marketers can respond appropriately to Gmail's new inbox tabs.
Since the rollout of Gmail's new inbox tabs experience around the beginning of July, email marketers have been trying to understand...
Let's discuss each of these concerns in turn.
Where Are My Emails Appearing?
First off, let me state the obvious: no one except the people at Google truly understands the algorithm that determines where a brand's emails appear in the inbox. Similar to SEO tactics, we have glimpses of what affects the categorization, but no clear definitions.
As a starting point, you should refer to the Google support article that explains in plain language how it aims to segment a user's emails.
Then it's best to experience the categorization for yourself. Go to the Gmail web client and notice which of your emails appear in Promotions, or Updates, or the Primary tab. Talk to others who use Gmail and see what their experience is.
Here's what's probably true: if you're a brand marketer sending email, that email is most likely to appear in the Promotions tab of your recipients' inbox, unless they aren't using tabs or indicate that they want to receive your emails in the Primary tab.
What Are the Effects of Gmail Tabs on Email Campaign Performance?
Reports from the industry have varied; most claiming a modest decline in open rate, but some claiming an actual increase. What's important is what's happening to your campaigns.
Identify those in your list who have a gmail.com address. (Remember, however, that not everyone who has a gmail.com address reads that email on Gmail's web app or mobile app, and therefore doesn't experience the tabs.)
For that segment, consider the following:
Open rate. Have you seen a drop in open rate for the gmail.com segment? Did it begin around July 5? Is there another factor that you can contribute to the drop?
If you have the data, you should also consider "time to open." One effect of the tabs is that recipients will not open emails in the Promotion tabs as soon as they would have before. This is important, especially if your promotions rely on timeliness.
Click-through rate. Have your clicks as a percentage of delivered emails dropped? Or have they risen? Also, look at your click-to-open rate; this will allow you to see if a drop in open rate has corresponded with a drop in engagement as well. It's possible that your open rate dropping may be merely the effect of unengaged users no longer opening your emails out of habit since your emails now appear in their promotions tab (and unengaged users are less likely to casually open those emails in the first place).
Revenue per email. While your opens or clicks may drop, make sure to check if your revenue per email or other relevant performance metrics have dropped as well before panicking.
Once you've considered the metrics, you may find that the change hasn't caused any big shifts. Continue to report on this segment for the next few months to make sure you capture long-term trends, but don't take unnecessary actions to correct a problem that isn't there.
If you're seeing a significant drop in your metrics, it's time to take action.
Mitigating the Effects of Gmail Tabs
It's true that a small set of your email list will experience the new tabs interface, and so you shouldn't freak out about small drops in engagement. That being said, I believe that the Gmail tabs move is just the latest in a general trend toward inbox foldering. Gone are the days of a single, user-filtered inbox. Approaching are the days of inboxes curated automatically by email clients based on historical engagement. Therefore, while the steps below specifically reference Gmail tabs, it's important for the email marketer to future-proof her marketing against the negative effects of inbox foldering.
Call out the change. Several brands have had success educating their subscribers who use Gmail about the new experience, and providing easy instructions on how to make sure the brand's emails are still being seen.
You can send a separate email to all of your Gmail subscribers, prompting them to move your emails to the Primary tab. Alternatively, you can dynamically populate the pre-header of your emails to Gmail subscribers with the same instructions, replacing the old "add us to your address book" approach.
Stand out in the inbox. If your emails appear in the Promotions tab, they are more likely to appear with other promotions, and even ads from Google advertisers. This means it's even more important to use attention-getting methods to stand out in the inbox.
Don't rely on email only, think cross-channel. As the trend of a more curated inbox continues, it's time to expand your approach as a brand and move beyond email as a standalone tool to reach out to current and future customers. Email should always form a part of your core strategy, but it should exist with campaigns in retargeting, SMS, mobile applications, and other channels to effectively reach your customer. Cross-channel campaigns have the added benefit of being less fragile to changes in technology like the creation of Gmail tabs.
Take the steps necessary within your organization to create cross-channel marketing experiences and don't silo email, because in doing so Gmail tabs and other similar technologies will have exaggerated effects on your marketing performance.
Finally, remember that Google has not added Gmail tabs to hurt your marketing performance (although it might feel that way) but to improve the user experience. If your recipient feels your emails are important, she will continue to engage with them. So the age-old email advice still applies: be relevant and important to your subscribers.

Hello! I have a 5x80 foot strip of grass running east to west, it gets shaded by a fence a few feet south if it.. However, Once the plants grow a few feet tall, they well get nearly all day sun... I was going to plant - Blueberries,gooseberries,currants,josta berries, Honey berries at THREE foot spacing... Does that sound like a good idea? I know a few commercial blueberry farms space their blues 2.5 ft centers.. I just dont know if the variety of plants with differed vigor will be a problem at 3 foot spacing... Any advice? Also, is there any other fruiting shrubs that will go good with this setup that I'm missing? Thanks in advance, |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by veggievicki 7b (My Page) on Sat, Mar 23, 13 at 23:02
Some blueberry farms will start their bushes at 2 feet and then transplant them out at 4, as an efficient way of prepping ground. Depending on your variety, they get very big and 3 is very close for the long haul. Also, blueberries need acidic soil, similar to azaleas and hydrangias. You'll have to adjust the soil in order for them to thrive. |
I like the taste of Autumn Olive berries and planted one that may have fruit this year.Besides being beneficial to people,with 7-17 times the Lycopene as tomatoes,it fixes atmospheric nitrogen in it's roots and helps neighboring plants. Goji(Chinese Wolfberry) is also nutritious and has good flavor. One more, Aronia,has a lot of antioxidant power and can be sweetened or added to other juices. All plants can be kept in check by pruning,but even with that there is going to be a limit. Brady |

I was planning on putting a few Gogi berries some place else because I've heard they get huge.. I'll check out that autumn olive... Thanks Brady, always helpful! Now I see alot of blueberry farms looking really nice with 2.5 ft spacing... I'm I misleaded? Should I go with 4 ft? I want the most yield for the area? Again will the different plant vigors ruin this 3 foot center spacing? Any ideas? Thanks, |
3 feet is too close for currants and gooseberries. The RHS recommends 5 feet. Josta berries are even bigger so would need even more space. Mine was about 6 feet tall before I got rid of it. |

Thanks for the advice flora! I seen some videos where the fruiting shrubs were only a few foot width, then some videos 4-5 foot width... Its hard to make a decision... My idea with 3' spacing starting with the blueberries and I said minus will to it for the others as well so it makes a nice hedge... Do you think I should space every 4 ft centers? Or should I space the blueberries 3' and the gooseberries,etc 4-5 foot? Any advice? By the way, why did you remove the black currant from your yard? Thanks, |

Joe, I've got black currants growing here in MD spaced only about 3 feet apart with no problems. The English climate is more conducive to the growth of these plants, while our hot summers slow them down. In fact, they will do better with some afternoon shade, rather than being in the sun all day. |

From the sound of it - it sounds like you are going to have a big hedge row of mixed up plants... In this case - I would not plant them so close together... or you will be picking blueberries and aronias out of your gooseberries.. Etc... I would rather keep different types of fruit plants separate.... In commercial culture - they run big rows of plants all mushed together into 1 big hedge to make picking easier.... but they are usually all the same sort of plant and same variety - they go pick all the ripe out of the row and them move on.... next week - they hit the next row with a different variety... It also makes fertilization, spraying, and pruning easier too... you just go run down the row and done... You never see them make up a big mixed up hedge full of all sorts of different fruit... too hard to pick, too hard to prune, too hard to spray, etc... Thanks |
I didn't remove the black currants. I removed the Josta. It was very large but produced far less fruit than the smaller black currants. Also I didn't feel it had any flavour advantage over either black currants or gooseberries. I can't tell you anything about blueberries as I have never grown them. They'd have to be in containers with ericaceous compost if I did as my soil is insufficiently acid for them. Another thing you need to consider if you are growing a mixed row in close proximity is the differing pruning requirements of each type of bush. Even red and black currants need different treatment from each other. |

Thanks for the Advice guys! John- I hear you.. What I was thinking was not just every plant be different.. I was going to make section of blueberries, then a few plants of gooseberries, etc.. It does have some organization.. From my understanding of your saying is keep different plants spaced further apart and the same plants closer together... From what you guys are saying about 3' being to close, I was thinking about doing everything 4' center... So I could get exactly 20 plants out of that 80' strip, how does that sound? Flora - right, i understand about the different requirements, I'll learn quick! How does this sound guys: Space every plant 4' apart. Was going to hill up compost/peat and plant in that.. I was not going to dig/till the soil at all. Was just going to add the peat/compost and plant in that, similar to a raised bed, without the structure... What do you guys think? Good idea or? Appreciate it, |
The Jostaberry I have grew quite a bit last year after it was planted but only produced two fruit.If it doesn't do better this year,it's going some place else,but from what I've read,they take a couple years to get fruiting. Brady |
Here's a picture of currants and gooseberries at 3' spacings. These 3 plants have been growing here for 2 years (planted spring 2011). From the left, they are: The yields are as yet small and the birds have gotten almost all of it. |
Here's a wider picture of the bed. The thorny bush reaching out for the camera is an Orus 8. It has produced the most of the bed so far and was actually pretty tasty. |

Bob, me and you think alike my friend, everytime i have an idea, you post pictures of your plants with the same exact setup I was thinking about! Them pictures are helpful.. I think I'm going to space everything 4' centers... Any other fruiting shrubs would do good with my setup? Thanks, |
I've also got blueberries on 4' centers. That has seemed pretty good so far, though the real test doesn't come for a while when they get big. Another shrub to consider is the dwarf bush cherry (see honeyberryusa.com), such as Crimson Passion and Carmine Jewel. You may want to give them an extra foot or so though, as I've seen 5' recommended for it. |
- Posted by Raw_Nature 5 OH (My Page) on Sat, Mar 30, 13 at 19:16
Thanks bob! I was ready to order some bush cherries, but I heard people say they are not worth growing... Anyone else with any recommendations? Appreciate it, |
I grow redcurrants and gooseberries in modified cordons, allowing each plant to have 3 canes, supported (and restrained) using posts and wire - 3 feet centres are fine for them. On the other hand, my blackcurrants are easily 6 feet wide, even the small 'Ben Sarek' is 5 ft wide. I don't have blueberries as not only do they need really acidic soil, they also need to be practically in a bog. However, my neighbour grows them in a raised bed next to the water butt. They can be grown with a 4ft centre because they will get quite tall. Jostaberries, I agree - huge and not that many berries. Raspberries are a bit unpredictable (although the autumn ones are more controllable than summer (primocane) types - while a Tayberry, Loganberry or thornless blackberry is lovely, also grown on posts and wire - but the smallest will need 8 feet and you have to be really punctilious about pruning. You could have a couple of apple cordons too - or even an espalier - I have a few cordons because I didn't have too much space but, on balance, I would have preferred 2 small trees on M9 rootstock and am annoyed with myself for not training an espalier but there's always regrets..... Brief pause..to reconsider 20 berry bushes is a lot of fruit - I have that many (at least) and the picking can be a 'mare and then the jamming!!! - it seemed like a lovely idea...and for the first 3 seasons of full fruit, I was quite earth-motherly and entranced...but honestly, my life is not my own during late June and all July (I have plums and cherries so I am really fed up with all the 50s housewife, Good Housekeeping stuff by September.....I try to bribe (or bully) the offspring to help with the picking but they just absent themselves going to festivals or camping so its hours of kneeling around in prickly bushes. |

Should I cancel my order for jostaberry then? Yes, 20 fruiting shrubs is a lot of fruit, I hope! I plan on living off my land, the more I get the better! Harvesing doesn't mind me, that'll be how I survive! Cordons seem like they would work, but I would like the most yield I could out of this area.. Instead of sticking an apple in a small space,. The same space would be more than enough for a blueberry to flourish! I was going to keep this row fruiting shrubs than out back a fruit tree orchard.. Any other advice? Thanks, |
I agree, campanula, about the harvesting - we still have a freezer full of fruit by the time the next lot needs picking. Also shelves full of jam and jelly. bob_76 - my currants and gooseberries looked like that early on. But those are still babies. Now I have chopped down every other plant and moved the black currant row 3 feet further away from the neighbouring row. (By simply sticking prunings in the ground and waiting - they root really easily.) |
- Posted by Raw_Nature 5 OH (My Page) on Sun, Mar 31, 13 at 23:40
You guys think I should cancel my order for Jostaberries,bit sounds like they take up more room than they yield.. Also it sounds like you guys are harvesting so much fruit you're tired of it! I can't wait for that! How much does your guys fruit bushes,shrubs, trees yield? Thanks, |

Experience Keys are a powerful feature that allows creators to build more seamless and immersive experiences in Second Life. Without this feature, you need to grant individual permissions to every single scripted object included in an inworld experience, and that can mean a lot of dialog boxes interrupting the fun! Experience Keys make it possible for creators to build experiences that ask your permission just once. In other words, you can opt-in to the entire experience, rather than having to grant individual permissions to every single scripted object included in it.
This powerful feature is currently available as a beta only to a limited number of creators, and there are already a handful of experiences leveraging this feature that you can now explore.
Today, a new Viewer Release Candidate makes it easy for you to manage all your experience permissions in one place. This new Viewer makes it easy to Block, Unblock, or Reset experiences. Additionally, an Events Tab logs the objects and scripts you encounter in an experience, so every action performed on your avatar will be saved or recorded. Have a problem with an experience? We've also integrated a new reporting feature to make it easy to flag bad experiences to our Support team for review. Search is also available in the new Viewer, so you can explore all of the growing number of available experiences that use this feature. A complete feature summary can be found in this Knowledge Base article.
We're looking forward to making Experience Keys broadly available to creators early in the new year, so keep an eye on this blog for more! In the meantime, grab the RC Viewer and start enjoying more seamless and immersive experiences in Second Life today!

Few things are as fun as getting a group of friends together, rolling some dice and taking imaginary characters through amazing adventures.

What's the one thing Linden Lab could do that would have the biggest impact on further improving your Second Life experience?
Many Second Life users have thoughts on this - from different approaches for the way things are done today, to brand new features that could dramatically improve their experiences, to seemingly small things that could have a big impact. Today, we're launching an easier way to share your ideas with us, a new "Feedback & Suggestions" page on SecondLife.com. You can also find this page by going to Help and finding New Feature Suggestions in the drop down.
Just sign-in with your Second Life account, select the topic or category that's most appropriate, and describe your suggestion in the text box. Once you submit, you'll see a confirmation page and receive an automated email as well. We won't be able to reply individually to each suggestion, but every idea will be routed to the appropriate Lindens and each one will be reviewed and considered.
We'll of course continue to be on the lookout for ideas as they continue to surface in social media, direct conversations, or via JIRA, but this new page should make it easier than ever for any Second Life Resident to share suggestions directly with us.

The latest episode of the Drax Files: World Makers focuses on actress MadameThespain Underhill, who directs the virtual reality theater troupe - Avatar Repertory Theater in Second Life.
A.R.T has been performing live theatre in Second Life since 2008, with a cast of actors from multiple generations that span several locations all over the world.
MadameThespian - a seasoned Chicago-based actor who also performs and directs for her local Shakespeare company - feels that the virtual theater affords opportunities to those who could otherwise "age out" of many roles in live theater. "Second Life levels the playing field when we interact with each other," she says.
This leads to the unique combination of professional TV and stage actors working with dedicated hobbyists and community theater buffs to perform drama, comedy, musical and improvisational theatre to the global audience of Second Life.
In addition to the creative possibilities that a digital universe such as Second Life holds, MadameThespian is enthusiastic about its social aspects as well.
"The value for older people is wonderful because of the ability to interact with other people from all over the world of other ages," she says. "You are being judged by what you say - the pure essence of who you are!"
Be sure to watch for the latest shows and performances from the Avatar Repertory Theater who are performing scenes from some of Shakespeare's plays tonight at 5 PM SLT/PT - details are available on their Facebook page.

Real pimps don't slap their hoes when they fall outta line, they SUE them ... at least according to the owner of the world famous Moonlite Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada who just filed a lawsuit against one of his hookers.
The man behind the suit is Dennis Hof -- the self-described Pimpmaster General of America -- who's suing a girl who goes by the name "Jimi Lynn" (pictured above).
The man behind the suit is Dennis Hof -- the self-described Pimpmaster General of America -- who's suing a girl who goes by the name "Jimi Lynn" (pictured above).
According to the suit, filed in Nevada, Jimi signed an exclusive whore deal with the Ranch back in 2010 ... in which she agreed to pay Dennis 50% of the cash she made from hooking, plus $25 per day.
Hof also claims Jimi agreed to pay 50% of any gifts she received from any of her johns.
But in his suit, Hof says Jimi was screwing around behind his back -- because he got a call from an upset customer named "Richard" who says he'd been showering Jimi with lavish gifts and cash for years ... and finally felt like she was "pumping him for more money."
"Richard" allegedly says he took Jimi all over the world -- including Tahiti, Jamaica and Bora Bora. He also says he bought Jimi Chanel purses, diamond bracelets and pearl earrings. Total value of the gifts -- MORE THAN $300,000.
Hof claims Jimi never reported any of the gifts to the Bunny Ranch -- and now wants a judge to force her to hand over what's contractually his ... HALF.
We spoke with Hof who tells us, "There's gotta be honor somewhere in business ... good hookers are working girls, not thieves."
He adds, "Could you imagine a hooker stealing from you? It's unimaginable."
We reached out to Jimi -- no word back

Yeah, working Halloween and Thanksgiving was the price to pay to get Christmas Eve and Christmas off. I'm going to California for that, so I had to have those.

Hobie Alter, A Legend In Surfing And Sailing, Dies At 80
Originally published on Mon March 31, 2014 5:08 pm
Hobie Alter, whose innovations helped thousands of people go surfing and sailing, died in California on Saturday at age 80. In the 1950s, Alter helped perfect a foam-core surfboard that revolutionized the sport. A decade later, his iconic Hobie Cat catamaran design opened the world of sailing to a wider audience.
Alter died after a long fight with cancer, according to the Orange County Register. Reflecting his legacy in two sports, his name is included in both the Huntington Beach Surfing Walk of Fame and the National Sailing Hall of Fame.
Surfer magazine highlights this video of Alter as a young man, when he often surfed in singles and tandem competitions; it was produced by the Encyclopedia of Surfing:
"In discussing the future with friends as a young man Hobie declared that he wanted to make a living without having to wear hard-soled shoes or work east of California's Pacific Coast Highway," according to a remembrance posted on the Hobie Cat company website.
Alter achieved that simple goal by a wide margin, establishing a business that could mass-produce cheaper and lighter surfboards with foam cores than those that had previously been made with balsa wood. His breakthrough came in 1958, working alongside his friend Gordon "Grubby" Clark.
The Hobie surfboard brand rose to the top of a young and burgeoning industry, which also received a boost in popularity after the surfing movie Gidget came out in 1959.
From the Surfline website comes this view of Alter's early days in the surfboard business:
"Hobart Alter Jr. was born and raised in Ontario, California, but his family had a summerhouse in Laguna Beach, where Alter got into the full array of ocean sports. Initiated into surfing by Walter Hoffman, he started shaping balsa boards in the early '50s. When the family's front yard became a litter of balsa-blank glue-ups, hardened patches of resin and piles of balsa shavings, his father moved him off the property by buying him a lot on Pacific Coast Highway in nearby Dana Point for $1,500. That was 1953. In February of 1954, with the first stage of the shop completed, Hobie Surfboards opened its doors after a total investment of $12,000. "People laughed at me for setting up a surf shop," Hobie remembers. "They said that once I'd sold a surfboard to each of the 250 surfers on the coast, I'd be out of business. But the orders just kept coming.'"
As his business grew, Alter hired many notable surfers and board shapers. One of them was five-time U.S. surfing champion Corky Carroll, one of the most successful pro surfers of the 1960s and '70s.
"He had a major impact on my life when I was young," Carroll said of Alter, according to the Register. "A true legend and always a really great person."
In the late 1960s, Alter unveiled his design for a fiberglass sailboat, which he promoted as "The Cat That Flies." From Surfer magazine:
"Over the next few years, his little 16-foot catamaran helped launch a love of sailing worldwide among people who wouldn't otherwise buy big, expensive sailboats. The Hobie Cat was cheap, and could be launched from the beach and sailed by one person. More than 100,000 Hobie 16s have since been sold, the most in sailing history."
The Hobie Cat website says that in keeping with tradition, a mass "paddle out" will be held in Alter's honor, as surfers will take to the water near his family's old home in Laguna Beach. A date for that event has yet to be announced.
