To achieve grandmaster status, players must win consistently against internationally ranked opponents; many serious competitors believe this level of chess is incompatible with college. Hikaru Nakamura, the New York teenager who is currently the second-highest-ranked player in the United States, skipped college, believing it would hurt his game. The U.S. Chess Federation offers the $32,000 Samford Fellowship to promising young players so they can stay out of school for a year. And UMBC and UTD, which treat chess like Florida State treats football, give generous stipends so students don't have to work and can concentrate intently on chess.
The MDC team, however, does not have such luxuries. Players often have ridiculous schedules juggling work, family, school, and chess. They don't practice on a regular basis and almost never get together in person. "Other than tryouts, it's almost exclusively online," says Rene Garcia.
Renier and Rodelay hold multiple jobs. The youngest team member, Charles Galofre, a twenty-year-old business student, works full-time as a courier, driving between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. each day. He practices, he jokes, "during traffic jams." And the team elder, 40-year-old Alberto Hernandez, who is married and trying to earn an education degree, toils from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. daily as a security guard in a West Miami office building and then relaxes on the weekends from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. as a bouncer at La Covacha.
"I really don't know how they'll have time to prepare," said Rene, a week before the tournament.
Perhaps this is no surprise, given his time crunch. But fifteen minutes before the first match in the Final Four, Alberto, who is bulky, short, and bald, chugs a pregame latte and, in his rough English, admits that he has done almost nothing to prepare for his match. He doesn't even know his opponent's identity.
"Charbonneau," he says, reading a bulletin board. This is UMBC's Pascal Charbonneau, from Quebec, a two-time Canadian champion and soon-to-be grandmaster with a Chess Federation ranking more than 200 points higher than Alberto's a difference that is generally considered insurmountable.
"It doesn't matter who I play," Alberto says, smiling and shrugging with the cockiness of either a genius or fool.
But before you conclude that this is simply pregame bluster or that winging it against The Frenchman is certain suicide consider this: This bouncer is a prodigy. He spent his childhood, beginning at age nine, in an elite chess boarding school. By sixteen, he was one of Cuba's top five junior players. During his late teens and early twenties, he traveled the world (Finland, Spain, South America), competing for the national team. Before immigrating to the United States, he did nothing but play, teach, and lecture about chess. Even when he was detained for nine months at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay in 1994 after fleeing Cuba on a raft, he was fanatical about his game. During his Gitmo internment, he played with crude pieces made by melting down plastic food ration boxes and soda bottles. He used Coke can rings to signify the king and queen.
In the United States, though, there weren't great opportunities for a professional chess player. So he worked as a dishwasher at China Grill. He was happy living on the Beach, beginning a new life, and learning English at MDC. For almost five years, he stopped playing the game. "Chess was the past," he says, swearing he would never devote his life to the game.
But in 2000, Alberto began occasionally playing blind chess with his friend Rodelay, during nights at La Covacha. And then came the 2002 Pan-Ams. Rodelay called and Alberto agreed to help a friend.
Even with nil preparation, Alberto is supremely confident. What's more, moments before his match, the old prodigy reveals what sounds like a brilliant I-have-no-time-to-study solution. It's an old trick from Cuba, designed to deal with younger players who are constantly studying.
"It's called the Veresov opening," he explains. Conceived in the 1930s by Gavril Veresov, a Belorussian master, it's rarely played today. Alberto believed this unconventional opening would force his opponent to abandon preconceived strategies and memorized moves. "I want him to get out of the book, to react to the board. Improvise," he says. "If that happens, anything could happen."
As he walks down the Dallas Marriott's hallway, passing an auto parts sales seminar, Alberto says quietly: "D4, then Knight C3." These are the first two moves of the Veresov.
The 1972 Match of the Century between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky was held in Reykjavik, Iceland, and watched by millions. Garry Kasparov's famous 1997 match with the computer Deep Blue was broadcast on ESPN2 live for an hour each day for nearly three weeks. Even these days, tournament chess matches in Russia or Cuba, held in large auditoriums, draw crowds in the hundreds.
The apogee of American college chess in 2006 was, however, held in a conference room, barely larger than a dining room, which felt like it had hosted thousands of Internet marketing seminars. There were two tables and about 30 seats.
At game time, 10:00 a.m., the stadium a.k.a. the Addison room was slowly filling. There were the sixteen competitors, two coaches, five or six administrators, a handful of tournament and Chess Federation bureaucrats, some Baltimore and Dallas backups, and two computer guys who were broadcasting the tournament on the Internet.

@anon322646: Your dad may be thinking about hot water cornbread. It's fried on top of the stove.
A recipe I've had success with is:
2 cups self-rising cornmeal mix
1/4 cup buttermilk (or half and half)
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 - 1 1/4 cups boiling water.
Combine cornmeal, milk and oil. Gradually add boiling water, stirring until the batter is the consistency of grits.
Fry in oil in an iron skillet until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Now, I generally use 2 eggs in my "regular" cornbread, but I don't use flour or sugar, and you can always use buttermilk in place of regular milk. Good luck!

Hello everybody my name is Patrick Kivlehan, Chris from Viper Bats approached me about doing a blog about my story and the life of a professional baseball player. I look forward to sharing my stories and hearing back from you guys throughout the season. For my first blog I will just tell you guys my story and my unique path to professional baseball.
I was born and raised in West Nyack, New York. It is about 20 minutes north of New York City. I was a die hard Mets fan growing up and a big New York sports fan in general. My two favorite sports growing up were baseball and football. I played Little League baseball and Pop Warner football all the way up until it was time to go to high school. I chose to go to a private all boys catholic high school called, St. Joseph Regional High School in New Jersey instead of my town high school in New York. This decision was made so I could hopefully get more exposure to colleges than I coulde at my town high school. I live right on the boarder of New York and New Jersey so it was only a 15 minute drive back and forth.
In High School i played football and baseball all four years and received All County and All State honors for both sports. Heading into my senior year I knew the biggest question that needed to be answered was whether I was going to play baseball or football in college. I spent my summers going to football camps instead of showcases for baseball so my name was not really out there for baseball scouts to find me. I had a good senior football season and once the season was over took all my visits to colleges and on the night before the National Signing Day for football I received a full scholarship offer from Rutgers University to play defensive back. I had received some Divison 1AA scholarships but Rutgers was my only Division 1A scholarship. The next morning I signed my name on the line to play football and defensive back at Rutgers. I knew this meant I would have to give up baseball but the full scholarship was impossible to pass up. I played my senior season in baseball and put up really good numbers and had to hear it from my coaches all season that I should play baseball in college instead of football. I knew they were right but there was nothing I could do at that point, I was already committed for football.
I attended Rutgers where i played football from 2008-2012. Lets just say my career did not go the way I had hoped it would. I was mostly a back up with a few starts here and there and a special teams player. After my senior season was complete I wanted to get back into baseball. I approached the Rutgers baseball coach over the winter and asked him if I could try out for the team. I made the team and with an injury occuring on the first day of practice I was now the starting 3rd baseman. I ended up putting up good numbers this past college season and was named the Big East Player of the Year and was named a 3rd Team All American. I was the first person in Big East history to win the league Triple Crown. All of a sudden there was talk of me getting drafted in the upcoming draft.
I was drafted in the 2012 draft by the Seattle Mariners in the 4th round and was sent to Everett, Washington to play for the Everett AquaSox (Mariners short season A team). This is where I was introduced to Chris and the rest of the Viper Bats staff. They gave me some models to try out and I loved them and ordered some for the rest of the season. Our team was eliminated in the 1st round of playoffs and I was named the Northwest League MVP.
It has been a crazy year to say the least but I am excited to be playing baseball again and cannot wait for spring training to come in March. Right now I am just working out and hitting. Mostly working on my hitting because being out of the game for as long as I was there are tons of things I need to work on and get better at. I am looking forward to updating you guys on my off season as the weeks go on and sharing some more stories.
If any of you have any questions about baseball, my story, or even football (if we have any football guys reading) feel free to ask. I love talking sports especially baseball so don't be afraid to ask!

Learning how to recognize a fraudulent slip and fall claim can protect your company from a multi-million dollar lawsuit. With a poor economy and high unemployment rates, insurance companies are seeing a dramatic rise in questionable slip and fall claims. In some cases, desperate people see faking an injury as a quick way to make a buck. What scammers don't consider is they could potentially face jail time and thousands of dollars in legal fees if their scheme is uncovered. Fake claims are submitted by all types of people. Grandparents, attorneys, and organized crime rings have all perpetrated slip and fall scams. Fortunately, attorneys for insurance companies have received extensive training on how to recognize a fraudulent slip and fall claim.
It's not uncommon for an unscrupulous person to fake a slip and fall on a damaged sidewalk or any area with a visible defect. Knowing how to recognize a fraudulent slip and fall claim can prevent a scam from happening to you. Fraudulent slip and fall cases frequently occur in areas with limited surveillance coverage. Bathrooms, corridors, entryways, stairways, ramps, and parking lots are high-risk places for fraudulent claims. Surveillance cameras are an excellent deterrent to for fake claim. In many cases, surveillance cameras have caught scammers in the act of staging their injury.
Many fraudulent slip and fall claims are homegrown operations. It's common for parents and grandparents to recruit children and grandchildren to act as supporting witnesses to an accident that never happened. For this reason, witnesses within families are unreliable and can be red-flags indicating a fraudulent claim. Organized crime groups and attorneys have also orchestrated fake slip and fall claims by hiring recruits.
Scammers will stop at nothing to pull-off a fake slip and fall. Victims intentionally pour fluids on the ground or drop grapes, marbles, etc., in order to fake their injuries. Some scammers have gone as far as pretending a genuine injury occurred at a different location. Here are a few more tips for understanding how to recognizing a fraudulent slip and fall claim: claimant has extensive knowledge of the insurance claims process, provides false contact information, refuses to provide work history for lost wage compensation, lack of credible witnesses, claimant hires an attorney immediately, makes threatening demands for immediate cash settlement, history of questionable claims, victim claims to have soft tissue injuries, dizziness, headaches, and other ailments that are hard to prove.

I've only begun working on our family tree in the last year. Through trial and error (and many mistakes)I've built what I believe to be a fairly accurate account of our family history. I feel totally CONFIDENT that there are ERRORS on this page. I can't imagine anyone building a tree like this with 100% accuract. If you find mistakes on this page or have any information to add, please contact me by email. This, as always, is a work in progress and any assistance is greatly appreciated. This all began as research on the Crowe family of North Alabama. It has expanded to include Crow, Abernathy, Lambert, Ray and others. The geography began in Limestone and Lauderdale counties in Alabama but now includes Jefferson County, Alabama along with many other states in the Southeastern United States. |

Khloe has put up with a lot of drama during her marriage to Lamar, but HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY learned what would finally push Khloe over the edge — if Lamar got another girl pregnant.
Khloe Kardashian has a lot of worries on her plate with her husband Lamar Odom, but the latest cause of her stress stems from reports that Lamar is out partying with younger girls and going on drug binges. A source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Khloe is afraid that Lamar's escapades may result in him getting another woman pregnant.
Khloe Kardashian Marriage — Fears Lamar Odom May Impregnate Another Woman
Lamar has still been avoiding going to rehab and he has living apart from the rest of the family, but as Khloe fights for her marriage, another source of anxiety lingers.
"Khloe is afraid that Lamar might get another girl pregnant during his crack escapades, which is and will be the death nail in the marriage," a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Even though Khloe has put up with a lot from Lamar and remained strong during these trying times, a move like this on Lamar's part would just be too much to handle.
Lamar Odom Partying With Other Women?
These fears came to light after Lamar reportedly went out on a drug binge and partying with two young women, both in their 20s, according to TMZ. Lamar is reportedly having an "intimate" relationship with one of those women — and an impaired state would definitely cloud his judgment calls.
HollywoodLife.com reached out to Khloe's rep for comment.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think Khloe should be worried?

If he gets another woman pregnant? THAT'S the nail in the coffin? I mean, isn't making a baby simply having SEX, which he is doing anyway. He doing drugs and young girls, THAT should be the nail..! Damn Khloe, what the hell are you waiting for: divorce him and let him get on with his life. You don't have any crackhead experience do you? You bout to learn real quick like!
khloe has been too patient for lamar to shape up. i would divorce lamar and let him do what he wants. what was once marriage material has been gone for too long. it's time to move on from lamar. he's too much trouble and doesn't want to stop drugs yet. let him go where he wants. khloe can have a better life with someone else.

former San Antonian who reportedly was among at least a dozen people killed in a rampage at a Denver area showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" chillingly had blogged last month about escaping a deadly mall shooting in Toronto.
Jordan Ghawi, a Seguin firefighter who lives in New Braunfels, tweeted early today about the death of sister Jessica Ghawi, 24, a hockey blogger for BustedCoverage.com who tweets as JessicaRedfield: "It appears that my sister has been fatally wounded in a mass shooting at a movie premiere in Denver, CO."
The San Antonio Express-News also reports a friend of Ghawi, Brent Lowack, was also shot, but not killed.
Other media outlets are also reporting a third Texan from Houston was shot.

Ten Best American Flag Bikinis From Fourth of July 2013 on South Beach
Photo by George Martinez
We love it when friends match with each other. Or wait, maybe they're not actually matching each other, they're just all out on the Fourth of July? Or what if they're not even really friends with each other, just sexy girls who use each other for free bottle service? Who can tell the difference these days?
Photo by George Martinez
This dude's shit. Enough said.
Photo by George Martinez
BONUS IRONY PICTURE: Alright, it's not a bikini, but it is a white girl in a Native American headdress on a day that basically celebrates the way we wiped out an entire culture and claimed its land as our own. She clearly doesn't get the political incorrectness, and that's what makes America the best country in the world.

Style at the IFB Conference | Style Defined NYC
Christina Caradona of Trop Rouge Bobbie Austin of Bobbie Austin's Closet Yes, you can see how far my rant about not doing streetstyle went! (Well...rules are made to be broken, n'est pas? ) So yesterday I went to the Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference for the first time ever.

Things are different Down Here, of course. Here's how I explain it to residents of the rest of the world: Y'see, Down Here there's these folks who think that the only real Cubans are those who don't live in Cuba. (Looks kinda funny when you see it written down like that, huh?) These people also think that anyone in Cuba is incapable of being, oh, say, a good father or a worthy musician. Simple statements from Cuba-Cubans, like, "I want my son back" or "Allow me to play this little salsa ditty for your listening enjoyment," are greeted with at least a barrage of epithets ("Mommy, what's a comemierda?") and sometimes with more solid projectiles.
Now, not satisfied with driving the Latin Grammys from Miami in August, the South Florida anti-Castro faction, smelling blood in the water, espied another target farther north. Historically, Cuban bands have been able to perform without issue outside Miami-Dade County. Now these stiflers of son have declared Palm Beach County to be a commie-free zone as well. And the bad news is, it's working: By loudly announcing their intention to drive up to the Carefree Theatre for a September 8 performance from the legendary Afro-Cuban jazz combo Irakere -- no doubt armed with D batteries and frozen cans of Chek cola -- they've brought another island-based outfit and local promoter to their knees.
"Obviously I made the right decision," says Fantasma president and Carefree Theatre boss Jon Stoll, who was told by West Palm Beach police to expect hundreds of protesters outside the theater for Irakere's performance and canceled the show as a result. "Nobody told me I had to do it," he continues. "I did it because I don't want to subject my employees or patrons to potential harm. I don't want anyone to have to go through a gauntlet like medieval times to get through the front door."
Stoll first encountered Irakere at last January's MIDEM convention in Miami. Though the event was marred by bomb threats over the presence of Cuban artists, Stoll was bowled over and decided to book the band, reckoning that by now the controversy would be cooler. But when the exiles helped blow the Grammys out of town, Stoll felt the winds change.
"I'm an easy target as a little theater with a lot of visibility on U.S. 1," he says. And with the fallout from Irakere's cancellation as well as that of fellow island group Cubanismo's appearance at the Kravis Center, Stoll wonders if it's worth the potential trouble to book Cuban acts in the future. "All these bands are subject to harassment," he says. "Why would anybody go through that again? It cost me money and time and everything else, so I'm just not interested, and I can't imagine anybody else will be, either. I can't think of anybody who'd book a Cuban act right now."
Call it the Cubano chilling effect, with the strange result that the closer one is geographically to the music's origin, the less likely you are to hear it live. For his part Stoll is pissed that he was forced to capitulate.
"I'm an ex-Vietnam protester," he says. "But why in the world would I want to take the chance with the liability of this? We're not talking about hosting an event to develop a new AIDS drug. This was just a concert!"
Born from the co-opted American rave culture that found a home in the desert Southwest, the Crystal Method (Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland) pass the hedonistic disposable litmus test by virtue of 1998's Vegas, which followed in the Chemical Brothers' big-beat footsteps, and the new Tweekend, which is all about weightlifter-strong, bass-in-the-face grooves, avant-garde breaks, and body-slamming sample attacks, delivered with the intensity of a fully fueled rock band.
The two pour voltage all over their seamless, tongue-and-groove samples that click together like Lego blocks. But watching them "perform" inevitably reveals the computerized, detached soul of the music. On punishing electro workouts like "Wild, Sweet and Cool" or "Ready for Action," there's not actually much going on, musically speaking, with the Crystal Methodology. But the old-school musicians and aesthetes with their "real" instruments who issue blanket condemnations of this genre are abhorrent not only to Jordan and Kirkland but to anyone who truly listens. Not only does such a dismissal of electronic music illustrate that critics completely misunderstand the music's appeal, it paints them into a logical corner. Kirkland is happy to lend a few brush strokes.
"I think all those guys are just retarded," he fires off. "They admire music, but they don't feel passionately about the art form. Jimi Hendrix didn't go to guitar school; he didn't learn the proper way to hold a guitar and all that nonsense. He picked it up and changed the strings around just so he could play it, and he just came up with a sound, and I think why he did that was because he was passionate about music -- passionate about the guitar. To go to a school to learn about music and music theory could have its benefits, I suppose. But to go to the Institute of Guitar and learn Eddie Van Halen 101 and then believe you're some proper musician is just nonsense. There's a lot of bitterness among people out there who, for one reason or another, haven't succeeded and now their goal, aspiration, and dream is sort of more and more unlikely, and they're lashing out at whoever is getting successful."

Today as I sit in my living room, listening to the police vehicles and fire trucks outside my window, I reflect on 911 and how much my life has changed.
Ten years ago, I was working at a boutique law firm in the compliance department. I researched laws, both nationally and internationally, while also montioring the production of goods for various fashion labels, like Tommy Hilfiger. I loved what I did! I was provided with samples and always received advance notice of sample sales. Not only did I look stylish, I felt I was making the world a better place by ensuring workers, mainly immigrants, were paid a fair and just amount for their labor. I was even planning on making a career of it by becoming an auditor. I wanted to travel, to meet the people and see the factories, not via images inside a report, but in person.
That all changed after 911.
I was at work when it happened, just settling in for the day, when a co-worker read what had happened online. She let out a gasp and a loud scream, before telling us what had just occurred. Reports at first claimed there was a fire at the World Trade Center. My coworkers and I couldn't believe her. We rushed to her side. It couldn't be true… but it was. We did not know it yet but Flight 11 had crashed at precisely 8:46:30.
As the initial reports were corrected to reflect a plane crash, it started to sink in. Our office was in chaos. Many were weeping. Several of my coworkers had family members who worked in or near the World Trade Center. The news of that 1st plane crash was devastating but nothing compared to hearing of the second plane crash at 9:03:02.
Fear set in my heart. The managing partner ordered us to a conference room. The room was in chaos.We did not know what was to come. I wanted to go home to my children, Karl who was 7 and Andrew who was 5 1/2 months old. I wanted to drink in their innocence. I wanted to feel them near me.
My ex husband called. I was crying. I called my nanny. She was hysterical and rightly so. I recall leaving work and seeing chaos on 34th Street. People were milling about… talking, crying, hugging.
I ran to Karl's school. It took me all of ten minutes. I had never run so fast. I was so happy to see him! He felt so real, so alive. He didn't understand what was happening. He only knew what he had been told but it was still terrifying. His teacher had fainted in front of the class. He still remembers.
After picking up Karl, I rushed home. Thankfully, it was just a few short blocks from the school. My nanny was hysterical. She left shortly after I arrived home, to pick up her own kids from school. I couldn't blame her.
During that time, I received a variety of calls from family and friends. I opened my home to all of them since transportation was pretty much at a standstill. Many decided to walk to their own homes, miles away…to see their families and to hug their children. I understood.
Soon after 911, my nanny moved back to Mexico. Andrew was placed in new care. Karl switched schools, his previous school contained too many memories for him. He did not want to return. My ex husband wanted to volunteer at Ground Zero. We had so many arguments because of that. I have to admit, I was selfish. I did not want him to go. It felt as if a black cloud was hanging over us and it was, both literally and figuratively. We were ordered not to open our windows. Knowing this, I pleaded with him. If the air quality was bad in our area, imagine how it must have been in Ground Zero. In hindsight, I am glad I convinced him not to go.
But this did not stop the asthma attacks both my sons began having. This did not stop the epileptic seizures Andrew and my niece, Lea, began having. This did not stop the migraines I began having. I no longer wanted to live in New York. I no longer wanted to become a compliance Auditor. The Managing Partner at the law firm convinced me otherwise. I agreed. I wanted to leave New York, I wanted to leave my job… and I did both.
Ten years later, I've returned to New York. My life is not the same. Its changed considerably after 911. I am now a divorced, single Mom of two wonderful boys. I no longer work in the Legal field. I started my own company, Stiletto Media, LLC, one that allows me more time with my children and helps other women do the same.
911 initially caused fear in my heart, it made me run. It now stirs a fire in me. It has helped me to see what is truly important in my life… the relationships, the people, and my family.
How has 911 changed you?
We will never forget.
In loving memory of William Henry, Rescue 1, a family friend.

The Continuing Peace Dividend
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Some 30 years ago, as a young reporter, I learned the secret of America's peacetime economy, its continuing peace dividends.
It came in an interview with a local technology executive. He was a former Air Force officer and noted that his lieutenants were also ex-military. I still have the tie he gave me that day, and came close to saluting as I walked back to my car.
The Air Force team was busy turning computing techniques learned in the military into something that's now commonplace, online transaction processing. The U.S. has dominated that area of business from that day to this.
The size of our peace dividend tends to rise after we cut defense budgets, as technology creators seek ways to capitalize on their research, and gain the motivation of profit to find it.
The collapsing military budgets following World War II and Korea were followed by huge booms in domestic manufacturing technology. The benefits of microprocessors and the Internet became commonplace after the Vietnam-era budget cuts. During the first Obama Administration the Defense budget has held steady even while our foreign military commitments have declined. The president now claims a "peace dividend" is coming whichCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

A jQuery slideshow plugin. Light Trails Bokeh Blossoms Funky Painting Vintage Chandelier Why Craftyslide?
Craftyslide was created first and foremost as an experiment, but secondly out of frustration with many plugins being written today. I found many slideshow plugins too bloated for my needs and code supplied was often superfluous and non-semantic. Create Image Slider (Photoshop & jQuery) Undoubtedly, image slider is one of the most commonly used elements in the business web design, due to its relatively large size that is able to draw the visitor's attention once they arrive the site.
Though the web has started to rethink about the usability of the image slider, it's still considered as a must-learn for the newcomer of the web design industry. In this web design tutorial, we will learn to create custom image slider above using Photoshop, which you can preview the final result from here. Not only will we illustrate it in Photoshop, we will also turn it into a functional design by converting it into HTML/CSS and adding jQuery for its awesome sliding effect.
Sounds like a lot of complicated bits involved, but in fact it's pretty straightforward and very easy to understand, let's get started then! More interested about adopting an image slider and customize it on the way? jVectorMap. Vertical Sliding Panel.
More and more we see people using horizontal sliding panels on their websites.
And they usually look very nice! Some will put a contact or login form in there, others will put some information about them and their website, or even things like a tag cloud or social networking buttons. Horizontal sliding panels are great for many situations, but like everything else, they're not always ideal. Alsacréations. TUTO . com. Codrops.

On-Scroll Sliding. After getting the request, we are going to show you how to create a "slide-in on scroll" effect.
You've probably seen this cool effect on some websites, like on Nizo or in the portfolio section of brilliantly designed La Moulade.

Great Whale Count
Project Name:
The Great Whale Count
Project Dates:
Project Site(s):
Twelve coastal sites along the southern and western shores of the island of Maui, in an area extending from Makena to Kapalua. The last site is located at Hookipa Beach Park on Maui's north shore. All sites, except Hookipa, are situated within the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary.
Project Aims:
Using citizen science to engage members of the public and promote environmental stewardship, while contributing toward a long-term humpback whale sighting dataset.
Project Justification:
This study's primary objective is to provide an updated and accurate trend of humpback whale sightings for Maui coastal waters. Monitoring the Hawaiian humpback whale population is important because of its endangered status (U.S. Endangered Species Act, 1972) and its support of a thriving whale watching industry.
Project Methodology:
This study consists of one day of point-counts each year conducted simultaneously from multiple coastal sites along the southern shores of the island of Maui. The count takes place annually between January 31st and March 11th, which generally coincides with the peak of the breeding and calving season. Sites are monitored by teams of observers consisting of a site leader and a group of volunteers.
Teams perform scans within concurrent 20-minute intervals between 0830 and 1200. During the first 10 minutes, observers report all sightings of humpback whales within the survey area (three nautical mile radius from each site). During each scan, number of pods, individuals in each group, presence of calves, distance and compass bearing to each pod are noted. Environmental conditions are also recorded including sea state, glare percentage, as well as wind speed and direction. Immediately following this scan, observers devote five minutes to recording conspicuous behaviors (e.g. breaches, pectoral fin slaps, tail slaps, and peduncle throws). Observers rest for the remaining five minutes before the next 10-minute scan.
Please note that the Great Whale Count does not aim at calculating a population estimate but rather a proportion of humpback whales within three miles from shore. In addition, sites are situated three miles apart to ensure that there is no overlap between them.
Project Permits and/or Collaborators:
No permit required given that the humpback whales are observed from shore.
Management Outcomes:
Citizen science is becoming a widespread tool for ecological and environmental monitoring, especially in an era of fiscal restraint by governments and NGOs. Not only can citizen science engage members of the public and promote environmental stewardship, but the data can be useful in ecosystem monitoring and assessment. The Great Whale Count data indicate an overall upward trend in the number of whales sighted since 1995, with a 5.2% increase of humpback whale sightings per year in the Maui coastal waters. These results correlate with other scientific studies, indicating a steadily increase of the population of North Pacific Humpback Whales.

CLAYTON, N.C.-- Police say a trailer loaded with liquor that was stolen in North Carolina earlier this month has been found in Florida, but the booze is missing.
Capt. Jon Gerrell of the Clayton Police Department said Thursday the trailer was located Tuesday near the Everglades by the Miami-Dade County Police Department. The trailer wasn't damaged and the license plates had been removed. The tractor from the rig had been found abandoned in a parking lot off Interstate 40 a few days after the rig was stolen.
Police said the truck was stolen May 2 behind a Clayton restaurant where the driver had parked and locked it. The $150,000 worth of liquor was destined for a state liquor warehouse in
Gerrell said police and the FBI were investigating.

Ms. Meny has also represented individuals in numerous internal corporate investigations, and governmental agency investigations involving the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice.
Former Employee v. Netflix, Inc. and Amazon.com, Inc.: We defended Netflix and several of its senior executives from a high-profile defamation and blacklisting lawsuit. The plaintiff departed Netflix for Amazon, and later claimed that Netflix retaliated against him by making defamatory statements about him, wrongfully accusing him of taking confidential information, and inducing Amazon to fire him. We filed an early special motion to strike plaintiff's complaint against the Netflix defendants pursuant to California's anti-SLAPP statute, explaining why the plaintiff's claims against the Netflix defendants were entirely premised on protected and privileged speech and did not establish a viable claim. The court granted our anti-SLAPP motion in its entirety, dismissing all of the plaintiff's claims against the Netflix defendants only 5 ½ months after the complaint was filed.
Suffolk Technologies LLC v. AOL Inc. and Google Inc.: A Virginia federal judge granted our motion for summary judgment on all but one of Suffolk's patent infringement claims, and issued a Daubert ruling striking the plaintiff's expert damages opinion in its entirety. Soon after, Suffolk stipulated to invalidity on the last remaining claim. Suffolk had claimed that Google's Adsense advertising placement technology, which selectively places paid advertisements for a company's product or service on the Web page of another, used a similar protocol to the one under patent with Suffolk.
Taxi Company v. Ride-Sharing Company: We defended a popular ride-sharing company in this unfair competition case. Prior to the hearing on the first motion, we convinced the plaintiffs to dismiss our client from the complaint.
Microsoft Corporation v. Google Inc.: We defended Google in numerous state and federal court actions alleging trade secret misappropriation. The litigation began when our client left Microsoft Corporation to head Google's China operations. We litigated the case through the preliminary injunction stage and resolved it on favorable terms.
Plaintiff v. Investment Funds: We achieved an early resolution of numerous state and federal court actions for a venture fund company and one of its partners. Our clients faced trade secret misappropriation, copyright infringement, and breach of contract claims in both state court and in federal court. We were able to remove the state court action to federal court, and then secure an early settlement for our clients.
Plaintiffs v. Real Estate Investors: We defended certain real estate investors against alter ego claims, in both state and federal court. These alter ego claims were brought in an effort to hold our clients personally liable for a $7.5 million judgment against their company and to pierce the corporate veil protecting our client's real estate investment firm. Following a multi-week bench trial, the court entered judgment for our clients and awarded them attorneys' fees.
Plaintiffs v. Automobile Manufacturers: We defended automakers in multi-forum, antitrust litigation involving restrictions on car exports in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Plaintiffs, alleging a broad conspiracy among all major automobile manufacturers and distributors, sought damages of more than $1 billion. We won summary judgment in the lead federal litigation, in several state cases, and in the California state court class action. We also achieved early dismissal of numerous state court actions.
Private School System v. Northern California County: We defended a California county and certain of its Supervisors against claims that its land use decision regarding a Christian school violated the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) and aspects of the US Constitution. After a multi-week trial in federal court, a jury resolved the case in our client's favor, denying the school system's request for tens of millions in damages. The plaintiff appealed, but withdrew their appeal after receiving our appellate brief.
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Telecommunications Company: On behalf of a special committee of our client's board of directors, we conducted an international investigation into alleged violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA.) We made a determination as to whether any FCPA violations occurred and handled the resolution of related governmental investigations and claims.
Henderson v. Petersen et al: We represented a prisoner in a civil rights suit against three correctional officers who beat him in Pelican Bay State Prison and one officer who failed to intervene to stop the beating. After the plaintiff's case survived summary judgment, the federal court asked us to step in and represent him at trial. Following a five-day trial and five hours of jury deliberation, Defendants settled the case for nearly twice the number the plaintiff presented to the jury.
Health Testing Company v. Biotechnology Company: We represented and advised a health testing company in handling claims that it had improperly hired certain employees, caused them to violate their non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, and misappropriated trade secrets. We were able to help our client resolve such claims without litigation and also helped our client revise and strengthen its internal policies on such issues.
Internet Company v. Internet Company: We represented and advised an internet company in threatened litigation regarding its hiring of a senior executive from another internet company. Through extensive negotiations, we were able to obtain a settlement of this matter that allowed the senior executive to continue work with minimal interference.
Network Hardware Manufacturer v. Employee: We represented and advised a network hardware manufacturer regarding claims against a former employee who had improperly used confidential company information.
Internet Company v. Mobile Phone Company: We represented and advised a mobile phone company in threatened arbitration regarding its hiring of a senior executive from other internet company. Through extensive negotiations, we were able to obtain a settlement of this matter that allowed the senior executive to continue work with minimal interference.
Movie Company v. Internet Company: We represented and advised an internet company regarding claims brought by a movie company that the internet company could not hire a senior executive from the movie company due to the executive's unusual employment agreement and due to non-competition and trade secret concerns. We were able to help resolve such claims without litigation so that the senior executive could be hired.
Employment Services Company v. Competitor: We represented and advised an employment services company regarding its efforts to hire an executive with a non-competition agreement. We were able to help the company hire this executive without interference from the executive's former employer.
CA, Inc. d/b/a CA Technologies v. New Relic, Inc.: We are defending software analytics company, New Relic, Inc., from patent infringement allegations in the Eastern District of New York. The case is set for trial in 2015.
Internet Company v. Internet Company: We represented and advised a startup Internet company regarding claims brought against it by a well-established Internet company that the startup had improperly hired certain employees and that such employees had violated their non-competition and non-solicitation agreements with their former employer. We were able to help resolve those claims without litigation and without interference with the employees' work at the startup company.
Internet Company v. Employee: We represented and advised an Internet company when one of its employees was sued by his former employer in state court for allegedly violating a non-compete agreement and for allegedly misappropriating trade secrets. We helped the Internet company and its employee move the case to a more appropriate jurisdiction and to obtain a favorable ruling on a preliminary injunction motion that allowed early resolution of the claims.
Internet Company v. Internet Company: We represented and advised a small internet company regarding claims that it had improperly hired certain employees with non-competition and non-solicitation agreements with, and confidential information from, a former employer. We were able to help resolve such claims without litigation and without interference to the employees' work.
Internet Company v. Internet Company: We represented and advised a small internet company when certain of its employees were hired by a competitor. We were able to help the internet company obtain protection of its confidential information without resort to litigation.
Gaming Company v. Computer Company: We represented and advised a gaming company regarding its efforts to hire an employee with a non-competition agreement. We were able to help the company hire this employee.
Former Employee v. Internet Search Engine: We defended a leading high-tech company from an age and disability discrimination suit brought by a former executive. We were able to help our client reach a successful settlement.
AUL Corporation v. Executives: We represented three individuals in a breach of contract and California corporations code action relating to terms of an investment contract. We settled favorably on the eve of trial.
Plaintiff v. Medical Group: We represented a California medical group in class action litigation concerning false advertising, Section 17200 and other consumer protection claims. In conjunction with the counsel defending a related organization, we defeated the class certification, resolved the case before trial, and obtained a favorable settlement for a small fraction of the demand.
Mortgage Fraud Cases: We represent a national lender in various state and federal court litigations regarding mortgage fraud-related claims, both as plaintiff and as defendant. We have obtained numerous favorable rulings for the lender regarding cutting-edge, mortgage fraud-related issues, including favorable rulings on the scope of federal lending statutes such as RESPA, TILA, and federal preemption of state causes of action.
Plaintiffs v. Credit Card Processor: We defended a national credit card processor in class action litigation related to alleged Section 17200 and other consumer protection violations. We showed that a forum selection clause in the merchant agreements precluded this type of complaint from being filed in the Northern District of California, thereby securing a dismissal and terminating the litigation.
Investment Firm Partnership Dispute: We provided pre-litigation and negotiation strategies regarding our client's rights under his investment partnership, fund agreements, and various partnership disputes. As a result, our client obtained a satisfactory buy-out of his partnership interests and avoided litigation.
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Securities Firm Founder: The IRS and Department of Justice investigated our client, the founder of several securities firms, for criminal tax and securities charges. The investigation was dropped; no charges were filed.
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Former Chief Financial Officer: We represented the former chief financial officer of a software company against Securities and Exchange Commission allegations of securities fraud in the company's revenue recognition practices.

Into The Blue
In a movie equal to Jessica Alba's severely limited talents "Into The Blue" features Alba's skinny posterior anatomy as its own sub-plot within a dopey story about four Generation Z adults. The gang get into trouble deep when they discover sunken treasure and a downed plane full of water-proofed bricks of cocaine. Menacing sharks, drug dealers, and a rival treasure hunter (Josh Brolin) give Alba, Paul Walker, Scott Caan, and Ashley Scott a run for their lives as blood is spilled in luxurious Caribbean waters. Even as pure eye-candy "Into The Blue" is a miserable failure.
Rated PG-13. 110 mins. (D+) (One Star)

When in doubt, bury your name.
I am going to be retiring this blog, as I think the time has come to completely shed away what no longer remains or works. I've had a good run with this blog and I got what I needed to out of it. I will leave it up for others to peruse the tutorials and shadow sundays posts, but other than that I will not be here.
In terms of Shadow Work, I think I finally hit a pivotal point yesterday accidentally, finally moving a big boulder I could not see or understand earlier. With that came a release and I think I'm finally ready to move on from dedicated, active Shadow Work. Over the years it has helped me to become self aware of my cycles, and make the hard decisions in life that I wouldn't otherwise make until much later in my life. It has taught me to not be afraid of the person I can become. To not fear your own capacity but allow it to become you and liberate you. With that comes painful upheavals that break down walls. You might walk away with much loss, in order to make much more room for gain.
You are allowed decide who and what you are.
With that, I've think I've exhausted the shadow work tool belt. I've learned all the skills I need for now to make a greater change in my life and understand the sheer depth of my own complexity (as we each have or own complexity and simplicity to our inherent nature). It's been a great many years since I have grown into this identity, and things are no longer the same as they were when I began with this name and journey. I've outgrown my own ambitions and for someone who went into this just hoping to feel a little less victimized by circumstances, I'd say that's a pretty successful feat.

On 15th September 2010 the Council resolved to adopt Schedule 3 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 as amended by Section 27 of the Policing and Crime Act 2009 so that the provisions for the control of sexual entertainment venues would apply in this District.
Paragraph 12 of Schedule 3 sets out the grounds for refusing an application for the grant of a licence. This could be that the number of sex establishments of a particular kind, in the relevant locality at the time the application is determined is equal to or exceeds the number which the authority consider appropriate for that locality, or that a sex establishment would be inappropriate having regard to the 'character of the relevant locality'. Nil may be the appropriate number.
The new powers took effect in St Albans from 1st November 2010.
The forms of "relevant" entertainment commonly understood to be connected with Sexual Entertainment Venues are (though this is not a comprehensive list):
• Lap dancing
• Pole dancing
• Table dancing
• Strip shows
• Peep shows
There is an exemption for premises where the sexual entertainment is provided infrequently, i.e. Not more than eleven occasions in a twelve month period, they must be greater than one month apart and must not last for more than 24 hours. These premises will still be regulated under the Licensing Act 2003 and would need to apply for Temporary Event Notices.
You can now apply on line for sexual entertainment venues and if you wish to do so please follow this link:

Auntie Pat's hustler spirit won't be denied! Peter Thomas will open the doors to his latest venture in Charlotte, North Carolina today.
I'll never send his ass to Publix with my debit card and pin number information, though.
Supposedly, wife Cynthia Bailey loaned him $60,000 to start the business back in 2012. At one point BarOne even repaid her, but she ended up lending the capital of $40,000 when the lounge's financial situation hit the bricks.
Citing debts of more than $332,000 to a number of different creditors, including outstanding amounts due to the State of Georgia and the IRS, Peter eventually filed for bankruptcy.

PHOENIX (AP) -- The owner of two Phoenix-area restaurants accused of trafficking in stolen identities has pleaded not guilty.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 40-year-old Bret Frimmel entered his plea Tuesday.
He's scheduled to be in court again Wednesday for an oral argument to modify release conditions.
Frimmel is the owner of the Uncle Sam's restaurants in north Phoenix and Peoria.
He was arrested on Jan. 22 on suspicion of four counts of trafficking the identity of another, four counts of identity theft and two counts of forgery.
The restaurant's 53-year-old manager also was arrested in the case on similar charges.
Officials with the county Sheriff's Office say they began investigating the restaurants in October 2012.

New Water Filter Turns Coca-Cola Into Water [VIDEO]
Let's say that one day you decide to go on a crazy adventure. You start traveling through the desert and all you have in your backpack is a case of Coca-Cola and some weird Nasa-inspired filtration system. You start to get really dehydrated and freak out because you don't have any water. But, wait! You have your weird filtration system thing that can turn coke into water.
Coke Moves Its Secret Formula for All to See — Kind Of [VIDEO]

Got a question about the Louisville Slugger Catalyst Senior League Baseball Bat: SLCT14-RR? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A QuestionIs this Pony baseball Pinto legal?
The Louisville Slugger Catalyst Senior League Baseball Bat (SLCT14-RR) is legal for play as it carries the USSSA 1.15 BPF.
My son is 6 years old and playing on a 7U coach pitch team. Do you recommend this bat for him? What is the difference between the SLCT14-RR and SLCT14-RX?
The difference between the Louisville Slugger Catalyst Senior League Baseball Bat (SLCT14-RR) and the Louisville Slugger Catalyst XL Senior League Baseball Bat (SLCT14-RX) is going to be the barrel size. The RR is going to be a 2 5/8" barrel, whereas the RX is going to be a 2 3/4". If your son is allowed to use the 2 3/4" barrel I think the RX would be an excellent option for him.
My son is 5 feet tall and weighs 101 pounds. He plays 9U travel ball. Last year he swung a 30 inch 18 ounce bat. Ideally, I'd like the same in a Big Barrel model.
The Louisville Slugger Catalyst Senior League Baseball Bat (SLCT14-RR) would be one of the few big barrel bats that features the -12 length to weight ratio. We have a few Catalyst models and the 2015 COMBAT Portent G3 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip (PG3SL112) that would be the only big barrel models available in that size.
Product Description
Louisville Slugger has a rich tradition of quality dating back to 1884. Since their beginning, Louisville Slugger has focused on improving their bats year in and year out in order to help make players the best they can be. One of last year's hottest new designs was the TPX Catalyst, and it's ready to jump start baseball players' games again this season! Made from C1C Composite, the one-piece Catalyst is designed to send the ball flying! The C1C Composite is precisely layered with toughened epoxy resin to make it not only high performing, but insanely durable for a mid-level priced bat! The thing that really makes the Catalyst stand out though is the -12 length to weight ratio! This unique design makes the Catalyst one of the lightest senior league bats to EVER hit the market! The Catalyst is topped off with the patented Louisville Slugger End Cap that dampens vibration and traps that energy in the barrel to create explosive bat to ball contact! With a 7/8 inch tapered handle and a synthetic leather grip, the Catalyst will feel amazing in your hands as you prepare to hit your next homer! Louisville Slugger: Leave Your Mark! The Catalyst features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp and is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

The next meeting of the Research Administrators Discussion Group (RADG) will be March 12, 2014 at Emmanuel College.
The topic is: OMB "Supercircular" - Understanding the new uniform regulations for federal grant recipients.
Networking and Registration 9‐10 a.m.
Session 10 a.m.‐12 p.m.
Lunch 12‐1:30 p.m.
On December 26th, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published the final rule for the Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, also referred to within the research
administration community as the "Supercircular." The Supercircular consolidates eight grants‐related circulars into one
uniform set of regulations for all grant recipient entities. OMB designed the Supercircular to reduce the administrative
burden on recipients, improve transparency of the federal awards process, and protect federal funds from waste, fraud,
and abuse. The Supercircular contains numerous policy changes for grant recipients, awarding agencies, and auditors.
Join experts from academia and industry at the next RADG as they outline how these changes may impact your
institution and how you can prepare for them.

Absolute Toughness
A 10-year battery life, 10-bar water resistance
and 10-meter dropping shock resistance.
These were the criteria of the "Triple 10" development concept
that led to G-SHOCK's unprecedented shock-resistant structure.
These were the three requirements of the "Triple 10" concept that led
to development G-SHOCK's shock-resistant structure.
The rugged shape and robust styling originated
with an engineer's brief calling for an "unbreakable watch".
Since its birth in 1983, G-SHOCK has continued its unrestrained evolution while
retaining its unique basic structure.
Today, G-SHOCK continues to take up challenges beyond the limits of time and
common sense.
Triple Sensor,
Tough Design
A watch built to withstand any change
in the environment.
All the toughness you need to weather stormy seas!
Further miniaturisation of the drive motors has made it possible to install Triple Sensor, Ver. 3 in a shock-resistant G-SHOCK structure. Built-in functions, including an atmospheric pressure tendency information display, Tide Graph and Moon Age display, support users who need to deal with changes in harsh environments. Such additional features as a new band structure, dual LED lights and a hand-concealment function underscore this tough watch's uncompromising pursuit of practicality in terms of wearability and visibility. Announcing the birth of GULFMASTER, a watch that expands the sphere of tough action.
Triple Sensor,Ver. 3
Now installed in a shock-resistant structure, Triple Sensor, Ver. 3 measures directions, atmospheric pressure/temperatures and altitudes at high speed GULFMASTER's shock resistance enables the sensors to stand up to the harsh conditions the boundless sea sometimes imposes.
- Atmospheric pressure difference indicator
Atmospheric pressure measurements are taken automatically every two hours, and the second hand indicates the difference between the most recent and previous readings.
- Atmospheric pressure tendency information
Atmospheric pressure is measured at 2-minute intervals for 24 hours, and indications on a display and inset dial, accompanied by an alarm sound, alert the wearer to sudden changes in pressure, recent and previous readings..
- Direction measurement
The second hand indicates north, and the orientation angle is displayed on the LCD.
Continuous measurement can be conducted for up to 60 seconds.
Tide Graph / Barometric
A high-visibility arrow-shaped small hand serves as an indicator for such important maritime intelligence as Tide Graph tidal movement data and atmospheric pressure tendency information. Metal parts give the dial an assertive presence.
Smart Access
The combination of Multi Mission Drive with an electronic crown switch gives users intuitive control over multiple functions. Simple crown operation enables them to perform altitude adjustments, change alarm time settings and switch among Home Time cities.
Dual LED lights
Two white LED lights cast brilliant illumination on the hands and LCD. Their use in combination with phosphorescent coating ensures excellent legibility in the dark.
Tough Movement
Adding further reliability to the radio-controlled, solar-powered chronograph.
- Radio-controlled (Multi Band 6)
- Solar-powered
- Auto Hand Home Position Correction
- Hybrid Mount Construction
- Shock resistant
- 20-bar water resistance
*Approximate battery operating time: 7 months (no exposure to light after a full charge)
Indicator bezel
Numbers for use as atmospheric pressure/altitude indications are engraved on the extra-thick aluminium-construction bezel. Blue IP treatment and a high-profile design give the bezel an iconic marine look.
Tide Graph / Moon Age Display
A Tide Graph installed in an inset dial provides information on the movements of the tides in user-specified regions.
An LCD displays the age of the moon in the basic timekeeping mode.
Innovative band fastening structure
The band structure extends over the bezel, and the band and case connection is positioned to the side of the case. Round screws and washers connect the band securely to the case. A curved shape from the case to the band reflects the watch's comfortable fit on the wrist.
Hand-concealment function
This function temporarily retracts the watch's hands to prevent them from blocking measurement results when the hands overlap the LCD in the measurement mode.

MLL5 is a novel trithorax group gene and a candidate tumor suppressor gene located within a 2.5-Mb interval of chromosome band 7q22 that frequently is deleted in human myeloid malignancy. Here we show that inactivation of the Mll5 gene in mice results in a 30% reduction in the average representation of hematopoietic stem cells and in functional impairment of long-term hematopoietic repopulation potential under competitive conditions. Bone marrow cells from Mll5-deficient mice were defective in spleen colony-forming assays, and the mutant mice showed enhanced susceptibility to 5-fluorouracil-induced myelosuppression. Heterozygous and homozygous Mll5 mutant mice did not spontaneously develop hematologic cancers, and loss of Mll5 did not alter the phenotype of a fatal myeloproliferative disorder induced by oncogenic Kras in vivo. Collectively, the data reveal an important role for Mll5 in HSC homeostasis and provide a basis for further studies to explore its role in leukemogenesis.
