sail-world.com -- Sailors gather in Plymouth ahead of the Ostar Transatlantic Race
Sailors gather in Plymouth ahead of the Ostar Transatlantic Race
Tue, 21 May 2013
OSTAR sailing race will leave Plymouth bound for Newport, Rhode Island a week from today. This classic event, organised by the Royal Western Yacht Club is a singlehanded transatlantic race that attracts a mix of amateur and professional sailors. Twenty-one skippers have entered this year, including 69-year-old Mervyn Wheatley, a retired Royal Marine from Newton Ferrers in South Devon. This will be the fourth time he's competed in the OSTAR.
Mervyn Wheatley, Tamarind: 'I enjoy the opportunity to sharpen myself up and I also enjoy meeting the other competitors, some of whom I have known for many years. This race has many challenges, getting to Newport is the main one! Also the knowledge that, if anything goes wrong, it is up to you to sort it out. I am not a good cook so freeze dried food is my main meal. However, I take lots of goodies: cake, flapjacks, banana bread, fruit, cheese, eggs & bacon. I have a glass of Sherry with peanuts every evening and, quite often, a glass of Merlot with the freeze dried meal!'
The 2,700mile race has a wide variety of boats, skippered by sailors from all over the world. This year seven nations will be represented. Polish sailor Asia Pajkowska will be the only yachtswomen taking part and Dutchman, Nico Budel will be the oldest competitor at 74 years of age.
American sailor, Jonathan Green will be using the race to get home! The 42 year old from Newport has been racing single-handed since 2007 but crossing the Atlantic is a new adventure for 2013.
Jonathan Green, Jeroboam: 'Getting my boat from Newport to Plymouth was my first transatlantic crossing and OSTAR will be my first transatlantic race so there are lots of firsts for me this Spring! The biggest challenge for me is to find the right balance of competitively pushing myself and the boat as hard as we can without risk of major equipment failure that might prevent me from finishing. As I learned on the delivery here, there are limits to what the boat can take and I need to sail as fast as possible within those limits to be competitive. I'm really looking forward to racing with and competing against the other OSTAR entrants. This will definitely be the highlight of the year, if not the decade for Jeroboam and I.'
The race takes place every four years. David Southwood, the race director in 2009 is in charge again this time.
David Southwood, Race Director 'The 'Corinthian' spirit of the OSTAR, which began in 1960 as a race for keen amateurs, remains strong and this year's fleet, comprising boats between 30ft and 50ft, provides a real mix of highly experienced international sailors, one or two of whom are professional sailors. It's an amazing event, and in a way the Corinthian element – open to all – from the biggest to the smallest of yachts, the hardened professional to the courageous amateur, is that which makes it as exciting as many of the professional races.'
John Lewis, Commodore of the Royal Western Yacht Club 'We're delighted that OSTAR 2013 has attracted so many entrants and we are looking forward to their arrival in Plymouth prior to the start. This event is one of many prominent international sailing events the Club and the City of Plymouth is hosting this year, including the Classe Mini 6.50 Fastnet Race, the Route de Princes and the Class 40 Championships later in the year.'
The fleet of 21 boats will leave Plymouth Sound at midday on Bank Holiday Monday, 27th May. Vice Admiral Sir Richard Ibbotson KBE CB DSC DL, the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Devon, will start the race from onboard the Royal Navy frigate, HMS Somerset. The first boats will be arriving in Newport towards the end of June.

Access to bird population data
- By:

- The Publications Warehouse does not have links to digital versions of this publication at this time
Access to bird population data is critical for effective conservation planning and implementation. Although a tremendous volume of baseline data exists, it is often diffusely distributed and inaccessible to the resource manager and decision maker. A mechanism that facilitates assembly, documentation and delivery of avian data in a user-friendly manner is needed in order to integrate bird-related information resources across agencies and organizations. To address this fundamental need, the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII), in partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey's Patuxent Wildlife Research Center and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is developing a web-based interactive system that will focus on access to bird population and habitat data used in bird management and conservation. This system, known as the NBII Bird Conservation Node, will support planning and evaluation of bird conservation activities within the context of the North American Bird Conservation Initiative (NABCI), a framework for collaboration among organizations interested in bird conservation across North America. Initial development of the NBII Bird Conservation Node will focus on creating a prototype mapping application that will provide interactive access to data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey, the Colonial Waterbird Survey, the Breeding Waterfowl Population and Habitat Survey, and the Atlantic Flyway Mid-winter Waterfowl Survey. This prototype mapping application, to be available on-line at http://www.nbii.gov by Sep 2001, will lay the foundation for establishment of a Migratory Bird Data Center at Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, and will provide an opportunity for linking to and establishing partnerships with other sources of bird population and habitat data available over the Internet.Additional Publication Details

Detroit Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk will sit out for the seventh consecutive game Saturday in Nashville (3 p.m., FSD) due to a lower-body injury suffered March 17 in Columbus.
Datsyuk has been skating, seemingly at full speed, for several days and continues to say he feels better and is getting close. After today's practice, he said he was going to consult with the team doctor before determining if he could play.
Coach Mike Babcock then said Datsyuk is out, and his status for Sunday's game against Minnesota at Joe Louis Arena is unknown.
Center Mike Modano will play Saturday, after missing practice Thursday due to a sore groin.

VIENNA, Va., Dec. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Last night in New York City, the largest Hispanic-Owned IT Integrator in the U.S., MicroTech, participated with the Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU) in presenting the Eisenhower Global Leadership Award to Carlos Slim Halu, the Mexican business magnate, investor, and philanthropist, who has been ranked as Forbes Magazine's richest person in the world since 2010.
Mr. Slim is presently the Chairman and Chief Executive of well-known companies such as GRUPO CARSO (industry, retail commercial, infrastructure, and construction), GRUPO FINANCIERO INBURSA (finance), INMUEBLES CARSO (real estate, shopping centers, hospitality, medical centers, etc.), AMERICA MOVIL (telecommunications) with presence in 30 countries, IDEAL (infrastructure), and MINERA FRISCO (mining). He was recognized for his numerous contributions and leadership in advocating for private enterprise and democracy, as they relate to freedom, prosperity, and peace. The event was held at the luxurious Plaza Hotel and featured television host Larry King as the Master of Ceremonies. The award was presented by 2011 honoree Sergio Marchionne, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Chrysler Group LLC, Chief Executive Officer of Fiat S.p.A., as well as Chairman of Fiat Industrial S.p.A. and CNH Global N.V. (CNH).
The BCIU, a U.S. non-profit business association, has over fifty-seven years of experience promoting universal discussion and providing a space for senior business executives and government officials to engage in professional discourse about private and public sector problems and opportunities.
The event was part of MicroTech's recently announced IT business expansion into Latin America. MicroTech's President and CEO, Tony Jimenez, was joined by Tomas Esterrich, Senior Vice President and Executive Director of MicroTech International, and Tim Dioquino, Senior Vice President of Infrastructure, Cloud, and Mobility.

"To say Carlos' recognition for his sustained exemplary international business leadership is well-deserved, is an understatement," remarked Jimenez. "This is the preeminent role model for how to do it right. He has truly made a positive and enduring impact and has achieved it on a global scale."
Yesterday, MicroTech also hosted a high level delegation, from nine states from Brazil at their corporate headquarters in Tysons Corner, Va. The group was comprised of federal, state, and private sector information communications technology (ICT) representatives focused on data center infrastructure and network modernization using cloud technology.
MicroTech provides Technology Services, Network Systems Integration, Product Solutions, Cloud Computing, Unified Communications & Collaboration, Cyber Security, Mobility, and Social Media Solutions, as well as leadership/management skills courses, business simulations and vital industry certifications as part of MicroTech University to commercial enterprises, along with the public sector — managing more than half-a-million technology users daily. A prime contractor of over 100 Federal projects and more-than-25 procurement vehicles, MicroTech offers access to 2500 vendors and a million technology products and services across the government.

The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact. Feb. 27, 2015 02:00 AM EST Reads: 2,893 |

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

By Carmen Gonzalez When it comes to the Internet of Things, hooking up will get you only so far. If you want customers to commit, you need to go beyond simply connecting products. You need to use the devices themselves to transform how you engage with every customer and how you manage the entire product lifecycle.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Sean Lorenz, Technical Product Manager for Xively at LogMeIn, will show how "product relationship management" can help you leverage your connected devices and the data they generate about customer usage and product performance to deliver extremely compelling and reliabl...

By Liz McMillan There's Big Data, then there's really Big Data from the Internet of Things. IoT is evolving to include many data possibilities like new types of event, log and network data. The volumes are enormous, generating tens of billions of logs per day, which raise data challenges. Early IoT deployments are relying heavily on both the cloud and managed service providers to navigate these challenges.

This undated photo supplied by the Astoria Police Department shows Michael Peden, 16, an Eagle Scout candidate, with a concrete pig he helped restore for the police department in Astoria, Ore. The pig was dropped off in 1993 by someone whose motive wasn't clear and two decades have taken their toll, washing off the pink paint, pitting the surface and loosening the ears. Now, the department has stationed the restored pig in a more prominent location, as it said in a press release, "at the entrance to the Police Department parking area, watching the comings and goings of police officers."

Use dash to break through the delicious upper platforms made of gingerbread or to deliver hot chainsaw fury upon your enemies.
Dashing through something allows you to dash and jump again without touching the ground!
If you've played Robot Unicorn Attack you'll get it, but I'll warn you--this shit ain't easy.

Comments about Ribbon Glass Award:
It is a beautiful piece and very unique because of the hand blown glass. It has to be handled carefully because the glass ball on the top is a little heavy for the base. Also, there isn't a lot of room for the engraving when the logo is added. This piece will be awarded to one of our staff for their community service work this past year. We plan to make this award our community service award piece for future recipients.

5 AmazingPosted: 26/07/2011Best Tennis game I have ever played (and I have played loads), amazing game accuracy and great game flow - on line mode is also very competitive as you can select to play games with players who are around you ability level which allows you to train up to a better player.Trust me you wont be disappointed if you buy this game - well worth the money.Peace :)
4 Keeps the laptop coolPosted: 12/07/2008I use my laptop (17") mostly in bed, even as i am writing this reveiew. my laptop use to extremely overheat and therfore the fan use to make quite a lot of noise, since i got this cusion it has never overheated no matter what applications i was running, but the reason why i havent give this a 5 start rating is because i would never use it on my lap when generally sitting down as it is very unstable when movements are made, but i beleive this is more to do so of the size of my laptop than the actual cusion so a guess it would be better to use on your lap if you had a 15" laptop.but great for using in bed or on the floor if you have a 17" laptop :)
5 PerfectPosted: 01/07/2008This keeps the laptop nicley secure from any scratches, and the best thing about it is, the material is absolutly cool, it doesnt start to fade or get slighly worn out after so many uses, and it doesnt even get dirty (unless you spill something like tea on it).I recommend it :)
2 EH, 20-25 cm tall.Posted: 24/06/2008When i got this, i was shocked to see how big the thing really is. If i had to estimate i would say it is about 20 to 25 cm tall. it looks cool but to be honest its sitting in my wardrobe doing nothing, i find it annoying as it makes a quite a lot of noise as well. its ok if you blast your music then you wont be able to hear it but otherwise it gets quite annoying. it does produce some air but not much. but then agian what do you expect from somthing at this price.Hope you found it helpful :)
1 Hope this helpsPosted: 24/05/2008There are problems with the product the main one being its very very very hard to get the figure to stand anyway like the one in the image, the other being the gun doesnt actually fit into his hand so it does spoil the look. *it stands about 13cm tall.dont recomend ithope that helps you.:)
5 Dont listen to people who say vista is rubbish coz it aint!!Posted: 17/05/2008Many people hate vista because of its compatabilty issues with some devices. UNLESS your a extreme computer person who has all types of software that most people have never heard of then dont get it. But for mid class computer users like myself its absolutly fine. i have ipods, phones, games, and all sorts that work fine with it. i have had vista for about 4 months now and have to say i have had no problems at all. *(i had vista already set into my inspiron 1720 laptop so a dont know if setting it up is any hard)It looks amazing and has little add ons that make it even better than xp. there are add ons such as radio stations, games, videos and 100's more. dont listen to people who hate it becasue all they are doing is following the typical hate vista crowd. Trust me you wont be dissapointed.if you dont beleive me then type windows vista into google images and you will then see for sure. :)
4 Very cheap for the amount of GB'sPosted: 17/05/2008Very cheap compared to other pen drives, theres only one problem it feels a bit fragile, i have a feeling it wont last very long. but still i reccomend it because i have had mine for about 3 months and havent encountered a problem. * Not sure if pen drives have compatability issues but it works fine with windows vista. :)
5 My favourate game to date.Posted: 16/05/2008My favourite game ever, graphics are amazing as long as you have a deasent computer, i have a laptop with a Ge Force 8400 M GS graphics card and it works absolutly fine. the only problem with this game is that its a bit short. but i reccomend it. :)
5 One of the best books out therePosted: 16/05/2008Right from the start it just grabs you, its a well written book and also it aint the view of a reporter, as the people involved in killing pablo give thier point of view. Gaurantee you will not be dissapointed because its an amazingly great book. :)
5 You wont regret buying this printer thats for surePosted: 16/05/2008This printer is absolutly awsome, its possible to buy cheap copy ink which works absolutly fine, so u will save a lot of money in the long run. and also prints high quality at a very good speed. havent got round to setting up the wifi yet but am sure it will work as fast as the usb connection. also has a nice little screen on the printer so you dont have to have it connected to the pc to see what your doing especially if you've connected your memory card to the printer. :)

Jessica & Ashlee Head to Austin
Jessica, Ashlee and some more of the Simpson clan were in Austin this weekend to attend a wedding on the seriously nuptial heavy 7/7/07 (seriously, anyone not know someone who got married on Saturday?). Guess that explains why Jess was absent from Eva and Tony's big day in Paris -- or who knows, maybe she wasn't invited. Either way, she looked cute in pink out around Austin, while Ashlee looked like she needed a shower. Sick. Neither Simpson girl brought a date to the event, other than Papa Joe of course. Kidding, kidding, I'm not sure if he was even there.

I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed that Papa Simpson has disappeared...I see the mom all the time, but I NEVER see the dad anymore...I hear of random quotes he gives out....I just think it is odd, I haven't seen him in a few years. Maybe his kids finally realized what a freak of a father they have?

I was in Austin for the first time in a while this past weekend. Didn't see the Simpson sisters (oh darn! ;))Jess probably doesn't have a steady man (or not one that she wants to bring to something like this) and Pete was playing at Live Earth in NJ. I can't tell the hotel from the pics.

text: There was a point early in the season when Joe Flacco was in the middle of the never-ending is-he or isn't-he elite debate. The Ravens jumped out to a 5-1 start and the offense shifted to a no-huddle, pass-first scheme that flourished. Flacco threw eight touchdowns and averaged 281.6 yards in those first six games. Flacco even dropped this line about playing without a contract extension: "As time goes by, I don't see myself getting any cheaper."

We had a few sickies in the house on Monday, so we watched the movie on Monday afternoon. After seeing One Life at the movie theater, my kids wanted to see Africa. BBC Earth Africa is available in both DVD and Blu-ray. We watched it in Blu-ray.
One Life Review
One Life was really good. The movie was about 1.5 hours which is perfect for kids. The shots were gorgeous and the facts were so interesting. We all learned so much. Our favorite was the Snow Monkey who only allowed the royal family to sit in the hot springs in the winter. My kids got a real kick out of that scene.
It's definitely worth going to the movie theater to see. Seeing it on the big screen made it so much better.
Africa on DVD and Blu-ray
But, if you can't make it to the big screen, watching it at home is still good. BBC Earth Africa goes through all the different areas of Africa and shows you how the different climates affects the different animals. We loved the Congo the best. Watching how the rainy season completely changed the floor of the forest into a big lake with fish.
Africa was a Discovery Channel/BBC co-production and premiered on the Discovery Channel on January 8.
BBC Earth Africa Fun Facts
- Africa took 4 years and 27 countries to make. The crew used 553 cameras, spent 100 days on horseback and 601 nights in tents, and consumed 6,526 anti-malarial tablets!
- Of the 553 cameras used, only 8 were harmed in the making of Africa.
- The chimps hunting for honey was the first time that was captured on film.

Anyway, kind of missing the fact that she's harping on something nobody can do anything about now, Caryn calls out Tom for taking the "let's have a new adventure!" approach, and clearly holds him responsible for the decision to change camps. She calls this a "rash choice" that could have long-term consequences for all of them, blah blah blah. I would venture to say right now that the likelihood of that decision's having long-term consequences is somewhere around zero. Caryn actually confronts Tom in the fire-free darkness, claiming that Willard called for a vote but Tom jumped in with his "adventure" thing. It's like Caryn thinks Willard is the old pharmacist that everyone in Pottersville makes fun of and writes off as a crazy old coot and sprays with seltzer, and I don't think that's going to fly. And neither does Tom, who protests that he originally wanted to stay as well, but heard people calling for a change of island before he said anything, so he went along. It's hard to tell from the edited tape what might have been said, but what you can tell is that, certainly, nobody spoke up to say that they wanted to stay, including Caryn. People who sit on their behinds and let other people lead so that they can blame others later if it goes bad get no sympathy from me. Besides, the decision is in the past. Caryn tries to pass it off as a constructive discussion and not just a bitchfest when she endeavors to extract agreement from Tom that they should always vote on everything. It's like she's setting up future Rules of Engagement, which is a little bit of a crybaby move in a game like this. I mean, she could have just said, "I think we should stay." Probst has a way of putting teams to snap decisions, and feminist process is for babies. If Caryn wants input, next time, Caryn should try talking. And what's even worse is that she proceeds to act out what taking a vote means, like she's the only person who can properly explain what constitutes "raising" your "hand." Shut up, Caryn. Is that the first "shut up" of the season? Oh, warm fuzzies!
Unsurprisingly, Caryn isn't doing herself any favors in the group dynamic, as we learn when Katie gives an interview in which she says that Caryn can't shut her yap about the fact that the island they're on is horrible and sucks and they shouldn't have moved there, blah dee blah. What's awesome is that, then, a storm hits, and I guess Caryn would probably claim that it wouldn't be raining if they had stayed on their old island. Instead of this dumb island, which has weather. Katie goes on to say that the majority wanted to change camps, and that if it was the wrong decision, there's nothing to do but get over it. Which is true. Everyone hunkers down against the rain, using palm fronds as umbrellas, which works about as well as you would think. Overall, though, I'm really not sure what's supposed to be so much worse about this island than the other one, aside from the fact that they don't have a shelter yet -- which they can, after all, rectify. It's not like they left garment bags packed with diamonds and Cheez-Its back at the Palau Hilton.

Nickname | SLA, Señoritas |
Headquarters | Denton, Texas, United States |
Homepage | Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc. |
Sigma Lambda Alpha (ΣΛΑ) Sorority, Inc. is an American Latina based Greek-lettered sorority of college-educated women, dedicated to the ideals of community service, academic achievement, and cultural awareness of the different Hispanic cultures and traditions. Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc. was founded in the summer of 1992, at Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas by Angeles Gonzalez and the help of five other young women.
Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc. is a Latina founded organization and is proud to be open to all women regardless of race, nationality, or religion.
Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc. (ΣΛΑ), otherwise known as Señoritas Latinas en Accion, was founded in the summer of 1992 by Angeles Gonzalez. As a student at Texas Woman's University, Gonzalez read an article in Hispanic magazine about a national Hispanic sorority called Sigma Lambda Upsilon - Señoritas Latinas Unidas, located at the University of Pennsylvania. Upon reading this article, she came to the realization that Latina Greek organizations were a cultural median at universities. She became interested in forming an organization that would serve as a cultural outlet on her campus.
Miss Gonzalez wrote to the sorority for more information regarding their organization and Latino Greeks in general. She promptly received a response and was advised to begin an interest group, elect officers and choose an organizational name to start the sorority process. With the assistance of Director Linda Weber in the Office of Student Development and Robin Zaruba, Assistant Director of Activities and Orientation, Angeles Gonzalez began the process of establishing a Latina sorority at Texas Woman's University.
In the fall of 1992, Miss Gonzalez began recruiting girls to be the "founding mothers" of the sorority and attend the first meeting. In this meeting, they discussed goals of the organization, elected officers and chose their organizational/interest group name. Sigma Lambda Alpha - Señoritas Latinas en Acción was founded on October 20, 1992 on the campus of Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas. The founding mothers and first officers for the sorority are as follows:
- President: Angeles Gonzalez
- Vice president: Aliza Gonzales
- Secretary: Christina Garza
- Treasurer: Andrea Quiñones
- Social chairwoman: Brenda Sotelo
- Historian: Alicia Padilla
- Community service chairwoman: Maria Lozano
With the interest group of Sigma Lambda Alpha established, excitement grew with the thought of having Latina representation at TWU, however Sigma Lambda Upsilon of Pennsylvania decided against beginning a chapter in Texas, because of the distance between the two states. Determined to have Hispanic representation at TWU, the founding mothers did not let this hinder the establishment of an organization. They chose to launch a new sorority based on their original group goals and combined beliefs. They elected to carry on the name of Sigma Lambda Alpha/ Señoritas Latinas en Acción, and created a sisterhood on the basis of cultural awareness, community service, leadership and academic achievement. The first pledge class of the Alpha Chapter was inducted in the spring of 1993.
The mission of Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc. is to promote the importance of community service involvement and academic achievement as well as to educate and excel the stance of Latino cultures in this diversely enriched society.
The señoritas come together as sisters, developing strong women into future leaders within their local communities, and national community. Since 1992, sisters of Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc. have been agents of change in their respective fields of study and their respective universities. The outstanding ladies who form the sisterhood are true examples of what a señorita is.
Community service[edit]
The ladies of Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc. ensure the quality of life in their areas is improved though the many different community service projects that they host and participate in throughout the year. The ladies are dedicated to giving back to the local and campus community. The national philanthropy of Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc. is The Boys and Girls Club of America.
Cultural awareness[edit]
SLA is dedicated to promoting, at our respective campuses, the understanding and knowledge of various Hispanic cultures to help overcome barriers caused by all forms of discrimination.
Academic achievement[edit]
Above all else, the members of the sorority strive to further their education. There is a minimum GPA required to join and continue to be an active member of Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc. Each member keeps a log of study hours, and individual chapters form study groups in order to ensure academic success.
