This is the portable safe that sounds a piercing alarm when the security cable is cut, so you can store your valuables and enjoy the beach or pool without worry. The lightweight vault binds to a bench, umbrella or other fixed object with a 2' steel cable, and any attempt to snip this line results in a 110-decibel alarm (as loud as a chainsaw). To further deter would-be thieves, an LED flashes when the safe is locked, and the battery compartment cannot be accessed unless the storage drawer is unlocked. The deep drawer slides out of the safe's durable exterior casing to reveal 190" cu. for securing cell phones, wallets, cameras, keys and other personal items. A top tray holds and protects an iPad, as well as small, fragile possessions such as jewelry. Requires one 9-volt battery. 10 1/2" L x 8 1/4" W x 3 1/2" D. (3 lbs.)

New Mexico State Aggies guard K.C. Ross-Miller (12) and center Sim Bhullar (2) talk during the championship game of the WAC tournament against the UT Arlijngton Mavericks at Orleans Arena. New Mexico State defeated UT Arlington 64-55. / Kirby Lee, USA TODAY Sports
Welcome to another session of Bracket Briefing, our attempt to provide you with essential information on the Big Dance - forecasting the Ali Farokhmaneshes before they spark the stunning upset we're talking about for days.
Soundtrack: Before you read any further, take a listen to this morning's jam of the day.
The first word: The madness is upon on us now more than any day of the year. For some perplexing reason, the first Thursday of the NCAA tournament has not been declared a national holiday yet. Pity. It's not fair to make any sports fan think about anything but a bracket on the best sports marathon of the year when 16 games determine the fate of office pools and bragging rights. Still, today has already become more important than A) your work life and B) your personal life.
16 on deck: An index to help you handle the madness.
For clarity, three stars means tell your boss you need to help your grandma with something very serious because you need to watch it. Two stars means follow this game and pay very little attention to anything else while you're at work. One star means your heart will go on if you miss this.
- Afternoon rush -
***Must-watch*** (Midwest Regional) No. 14 Valparaiso vs. No. 13 Michigan State in Auburn Hills, Mich., 12:15 (CBS): It's the first game of the tournament. Bryce Drew's coaching against Tom Izzo. Enough said.
***Must-watch*** (East Regional) No. 11 Bucknell vs. No. 6 Butler in Lexington, Ky., 12:40 (truTV): If you can find this channel (which is better than Oxygen and Lifetime, we promise), Bucknell is supposed to be the new Butler. This is everyone's favorite first round upset.
*Life won't end if you miss this* (West Regional) No. 9 Wichita State vs. Pittsburgh in Salt Lake City, 1:40 (TBS): The Shockers (the second best team in the Valley) and Pittsburgh (a middle-of-the pack Big East team) could stage a barnburner, but a No. 9 seed beating a No. 8 seed isn't spectacularly stunning.
***Must-watch*** (Midwest Regional) No. 13 New Mexico State vs. No. 4 Saint Louis in San Jose, 2:10 (TNT): Saint Louis, the A-10 tourney and regular season champ, is a Final Four sleeper. And New Mexico is on the Cinderella radar. Sim Bhullar, New Mexico State's 7-foot-5 center, draws a crowd on the court and off it.
**You should probably watch** (Midwest Regional) No. 6 Memphis vs. No. 11 Saint Mary's in Auburn Hills, Mich., 2:45 (CBS): The Gaels' Matthew Dellavedova proved his worth as a star of the Dance, and the Tigers have been second-guessed after playing in a weak Conference USA.
**You should probably watch**(East Regional) No. 14 Davidson vs. No. 3 Marquette in Lexington, Ky., 3:10 (truTV): Everyone remembers that Steph Curry guy. This Wildcats squad is led by big men - namely Jake Cohen. The nation's longest winning streak will be challenged against the co-champion from the Big East.
*Life won't end if you miss this*(West Regional ) Southern vs. Gonzaga in Salt Lake City, 4:10 (TBS): A No. 16 seed has never beaten a No. 1 seed and the Zags won't get a chance to prove No. 1 worthiness until later rounds.
***Must-watch***(Midwest Regional) No. 12 Oregon vs. No. 5 Oklahoma State in San Jose, 4:40 (TNT): Dana Altman's Ducks were given a stunningly high seed, while Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart could become a Big Dance star.
- Evening rush -
*Check back in for this evening's Bracket Briefing to forecast the nightcap
- North Carolina A&T vs. Louisville in Lexington, Ky., 6:50 (TBS)
- South Dakota State vs. Michigan in Auburn Hills, Mich., 7:15 (CBS)
- Belmont vs. Arizona in Salt Lake City, 7:20 (TNT): Belmont's the fashionable pick
- California vs. UNLV in San Jose, 7:27 (truTV)

Palo Alto, CA— Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) has become one of the first land trusts
nationwide to be awarded accredited status by the Land Trust Accreditation
Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, based in
Washington, D.C.
"Accredited land trusts meet national quality standards
for protecting important natural places and working lands forever," said
Commission Executive Director Tammara Van Ryn. "The accreditation seal lets the
public know that the accredited land trust has undergone an extensive, external
review of the governance and management of its organization and the systems and
policies it uses to protect land."
POST was one of several land trusts
across the country selected in 2006 by the Land Trust Alliance, a national
conservation group representing more than 1,700 land trusts across the United
States, to develop its new accreditation program. As part of the pilot program,
POST helped shape the accreditation process and set an important example for
other land trusts to follow.
"POST's accredited status demonstrates our
continued commitment to permanent land conservation," said POST President Audrey
Rust. "POST has been going strong for 31 years and has established itself as a
leader in local land protection. During that time, the land trust movement has
matured and the time was right to establish accreditation as a goal for all land
trusts. Now that we have gone through this rigorous program, our organization is
all the stronger for it."
POST joined 38 other land trusts awarded
accreditation at a special ceremony earlier this month at "Rally: The National
Land Conservation Conference" in Pittsburgh, Pa. The event, hosted by the Land
Trust Alliance, is the largest gathering of land conservationists in the
In 2005, POST completed a $200 million campaign called "Saving
the Endangered Coast" to preserve open lands along the San Mateo Coast. More
recently, the nonprofit land trust raised $29.7 million to protect Mindego Hill,
a prominent landmark and historic ranch along Skyline Ridge on the San Francisco
Peninsula. POST is also intensifying its efforts in the western hillsides of
south Santa Clara County, where the need for land conservation is especially
Local citizens and communities come together to form land trusts
to save the places they love. Land trusts throughout the country have worked
with willing landowners to save more than 37 million acres of places people care
about, including forests, beaches, parkland, farms and wildlife habitat. Strong,
well-managed land trusts provide local communities with effective champions and
caretakers of their critical land resources, and safeguard the land through the
generations. Conserving land helps ensure clean air and drinking water, food
security, scenic landscapes and views, recreational places, and habitat for the
diversity of life on earth.
Accredited land trusts are able to display a
seal indicating to the public that they meet national standards for excellence,
uphold the public trust and ensure that conservation efforts are permanent. The
seal is a mark of distinction in land conservation.
# # #
POST is a leading private, nonprofit land trust
dedicated to preserving the beauty, character and diversity of the San Francisco
Peninsula and Santa Cruz Mountain range. Since its founding in 1977, the
organization has been responsible for saving 60,000 acres as permanent open
space and parkland in San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. For more

About the Land Trust Accreditation
The Land
Trust Accreditation Commission awards the accreditation seal to community
institutions that meet national quality standards for protecting important

of the Land Trust Alliance established in 2006, is governed by a volunteer board
of diverse land conservation and nonprofit management experts from around the
country. More information is available on the Commission's website,
Pittsburgh, PA – The Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, awarded accreditation to 39 land trusts from across the country at its inaugural awards ceremony last night. This is a milestone for the land conservation community.
"At a time when the public is demanding increasing accountability from nonprofit organizations and government, including land trusts, the new independent accreditation program provides the assurance of quality and permanence of land protection the public is looking for," said Commission Executive Director Tammara Van Ryn. "Today land trusts can join museums, hospitals, universities and other nonprofit institutions that demonstrate that they deserve the public's trust through rigorous accreditation programs."
Thirty-nine land trusts were awarded accreditation at a special inaugural ceremony at Rally: The National Land Conservation Conference in Pittsburgh, PA on September 19. Rally, hosted by The Land Trust Alliance, is the largest annual gathering of land conservationists in the country.
Conserving land helps ensure clean air and drinking water, food security, scenic landscapes, recreational places and wildlife habitat. Across the country, local citizens and communities have come together to form land trusts to save the places they love. These groups have conserved over 37 million acres of land.
"Anything land trusts or other public charities are able to do directly depends on retaining the public trust, as well as the confidence of Congress and the IRS who have granted land conservation special tax incentives," commented Rand Wentworth, president of the Land Trust Alliance. "Accreditation is an essential way to demonstrate to the public that land trusts are operating at the highest standards."
Newly accredited land trusts range from groups that protect the Atlantic coastline to those that save the rocky shores of the Pacific, to those that work on affordable housing in the urban Southeast and those that conserve ranches in the wide expanses of the Rocky Mountain west. Some of these land trusts work in a single town, others have a national scope.
Six land trusts from Pennsylvania are now accredited. "Although it was a big undertaking for our small land trust, we knew it was the right thing to do – to make sure we were, in fact, doing the 'right thing' for land preservation in our area, and in turn, for land preservation efforts across the country," said Wendy Battisti, president of the Bedminster Land Conservancy, one of the Pennsylvania land trusts awarded accreditation.
The Alliance congratulates its members who have been awarded accreditation. "We are thrilled that they are more effective at saving land because they've gone through this process for improvement," said Wentworth.
Land trusts applying for accreditation submit extensive documentation and make a significant commitment of time and money to participate. In a rigorous review process, the Commission examines each application, interviews the land trust and evaluates multiple sources of information, including comments from the public.
All of the accredited land trusts have made significant investments in their organizations. "Through the accreditation process land trusts have dramatically increased the funding dedicated to stewarding and defending conservation land in perpetuity, engaged and trained board members and new citizen conservation leaders, and improved systems for managing land and ensuring that the terms of conservation easements are being upheld," remarked Van Ryn.
"The tremendous staff resources diverted to preparing our application in early 2007 left us anxious about our capacity to close out a successful land protection year, but in fact the opposite came true," says Ryan Owens, executive director of the Monadnock Conservancy in New Hampshire. "Thanks in large part to the refinement and rejuvenation of our policies and procedures brought about by the accreditation effort, our 2007 acreage total was more than double that of 2006, itself a record year, and we made great strides toward reaching the goal of a major capital campaign. The simple increases in efficiency and professionalism alone were well worth the long hours."
"On September 19 we celebrated the inaugural announcement of accredited lands trusts. This is an important beginning," remarked Van Ryn. "The accreditation seal will be a mark of distinction in land conservation signifying that the accredited group meets national standards for excellence, upholds the public trust and ensures that conservation efforts are permanent."

Kyle Kendrick delivers tonight's first pitch to Nyjer Morgan.
PHILADELPHIA — We're back at Citizens Bank Park for game two of this interrupted, three-game series, and this one may be more notable for who's not in the lineup than who's in.
For the Nationals, Ryan Zimmerman is out for the third straight game, apparently still hampered by a tight hamstring. The Nats had hoped Zim would be well enough to play after resting Sunday, Monday and Tuesday's off day, but this hasn't healed as quickly as everyone believed.
So Alberto Gonzalez gets his first start at third base. Cristian Guzman, meanwhile, is at shortstop, with Ian Desmond getting the night off. Strangely enough, both of Desmond's days off so far have come against the Phillies and Kyle Kendrick.
Meanwhile, both Jimmy Rollins (calf) and Jayson Werth (hip) are out for Philadelphia, and there's speculation Rollins will end up on the DL. [UPDATE: Rollins was indeed placed on the 15-day DL and replaced by Wilson Valdez. Werth, though, hopes to be back in the lineup tomorrow.] The Phillies' lineup is still imposing, but doesn't look nearly as scary with Greg Dobbs batting fifth.
Check back throughout the game for updates, and check the homepage for other news…

Should we be worried about Zim?
- aneedell - Apr 14, 2010 at 7:59 PM
So maybe Riggelman's comment about getting Guzzman ready to play third base was a dot to be connected, and I wasn't just paranoid when I thought of it.
- Anonymous - Apr 14, 2010 at 8:03 PM
These interrupted series–one game, day off, then two games–are just plain dumb scheduling. Who thought that gem up?
- phil dunn - Apr 14, 2010 at 8:09 PM
I thought Desmond won the SS job? Why does he need a day off when yesterday was an off day? This is a rather bizarre way to find out if he can do the job. Either play him or send him to Syracuse, but don't jerk him around.
- Souldrummer - Apr 14, 2010 at 8:12 PM
I don't have a problem with Desmond sitting. I thought he was overaggressive at times and Guzman has earned some playing time by hitting well in the reserve role so far.My bigger issue is that out machine at 3B. Eric Bartlett please hit your way onto this lineup. The General sounds like a great nickname for a Chief.Time for Dunn to awaken, hopefully following some extra BP due to the off day. He just needs to hit the mistakes a long way. The eye is certainly there.
- Tcostant - Apr 14, 2010 at 8:12 PM
To 3:59pm post.They do that schuduling, only when opening day is the first day. It just much easier to slide opening day tickets to that off day the next day in case of rain. This way their is no conflict and don't want to loss that gate which is the largest of the year for most teams.Monday was Philly's opening day, last Monday was the Nationals (but some would say that it was also the Phils opening day based on the crowd). The off days were both the the Tuesday after Opening day.
- natscan reduxit - Apr 14, 2010 at 8:30 PM
… why do I have this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that Zim isn't as healthy as we might have wanted or expected? And I'm married, so I know nagging.Go Nats!!
- BowdenBall - Apr 14, 2010 at 8:33 PM
"I don't have a problem with Desmond sitting. I thought he was overaggressive at times and Guzman has earned some playing time by hitting well in the reserve role so far."With Zimm sitting, all three could play, with Kennedy at third, Desmond at SS, and Guz at 2B. So this amounts to trading Desmond for Alberto Gonzales in the lineup. Nobody likes that. Sure, this way Kennedy and Guzman stay at their natural positions, so maybe there's a minor defensive uptick. But Desmond, for his faults thus far, was at least a regular thread to knock the ball out of the park or at least off the wall. We're basically down to two such hitters now. That's ugly. If you're playing in a bandbox, put in some guys who have a chance to take advantage of that fact.
- Jack T. In Florida - Apr 14, 2010 at 8:40 PM
If the next thing I hear about Zim is "15 day disabled list" I'm going to demand a new training staff!
- PDowdy83 - Apr 14, 2010 at 9:03 PM
Tell me about it Jack T. This just follows right along with all the other players who start off day to day then end up missing 3 or 4 games then the next step, just like Morse, is the 15 day DL.
- Anonymous - Apr 14, 2010 at 9:27 PM
Further to the post-opening day off-day discussion, note that these off-days are not scheduled for opening days played in domes/retractable roofs or in warm climates with little chance of rain (e.g., San Diego). With Minnesota's new open-air stadium, I'm surprised they did not schedule an off-week just to be safe.
- Sam - Apr 14, 2010 at 9:51 PM
I agree that English could use some work in the minor leagues. However, when it comes to choosing between him, Bergmann, Walker, and Batista, I vote to let all of them go (well, English to the minor leagues). If they had such a tight leash on Mock, why not on these guys? None of them has been good in the major leagues for a long time. Walker didn't pitch much last year, and he has only had good years in which he pitched few innings. Batista has been useless for 3 years now, and Bergmann flat-out stinks (although, he's a nice guy).
- natsfan1a - Apr 14, 2010 at 10:25 PM
Crud. I meant to post this in the latest thread. The 1500 signal is awful in my area, so this is intriguing news.Interesting item on nats320 re. FM radio possibilities for Nats games starting in May:http://nats320.blogspot.com/2010/04/standard-hd-fm-radio-signals-coming-to.html
- PDowdy83 - Apr 14, 2010 at 10:39 PM
And who would you replace all 4 of them with Sam? Walker has looked great twice and not so good the other times. Bergmann and Batista could disappear and I'd be happy.
- kyle - Apr 14, 2010 at 10:51 PM
Drew Storen perhaps?Seriously, a few more adequate bodies in the bullpen would be nice.
- Gus - Apr 14, 2010 at 11:36 PM
Mark, do you know how many innings this season where the Nats have scored, only for the opposition to score in the bottom on the innings, or at the top of the next?
- Nervous Nats Fan - Apr 14, 2010 at 11:38 PM
Oh man. Those two outs too forever. Now, please please please get a third here.
- Nervous Nats Fan - Apr 14, 2010 at 11:39 PM
- Mark Zuckerman - Apr 14, 2010 at 11:44 PM
Gus: That's now NINE times in seven-plus games where the Nats have scored in their half of the inning and then immediately given up a run in the next half-inning. Staggering.
- Gus - Apr 14, 2010 at 11:50 PM
Staggering is a great adjective.
- Anonymous - Apr 14, 2010 at 11:56 PM
Guzmann is hitting, Desmond isn't. Bottom line–Desmond is toast for now. End of story.
- Doc - Apr 15, 2010 at 12:11 AM
So far this season, the Nats have 2 pitchers who can come close to pitching in the Bigs. Stammen's performance to-night seems suggest that spring training performances are not the predictors that they should be.
- Gus - Apr 15, 2010 at 12:14 AM
That's TEN times. Can we use F&%KED UP instead of staggering?
- phil dunn - Apr 15, 2010 at 12:19 AM
Stammen just bought a one way ticket to Syracuse tonight.
- Nervous Nats Fan - Apr 15, 2010 at 12:23 AM
Phil – I worry that having such a short leash on the young pitchers (e.g., Mock) makes all the pitchers worse. They seem so worried about being perfect that they stink. Or maybe they just aren't very good to begin with. Either way, I don't think it's a good policy.
- bobn - Apr 15, 2010 at 12:39 AM
Mark–why do some of the Nat's jerseys have a gold mark on the back numbers and some don't?
- Mark Zuckerman - Apr 15, 2010 at 12:42 AM
BobN: You mean the gold trim around the numbers? Don't they all have those?
- Janner33 - Apr 15, 2010 at 12:56 AM
@ Mark Z, nah, i think bobn means the gold fleck on the right number on the back of the jersey… noticed that a few games this season
- natscan reduxit - Apr 15, 2010 at 1:03 AM
… so Jason Marquis is trying out for another role on the team, in case the one he has now doesn't work out.
- Janner33 - Apr 15, 2010 at 1:16 AM
I think Bergmann is packing his bags for Syracuse after this game. Man, this guy is frustrating!
- LoveDaNats - Apr 15, 2010 at 1:16 AM
So send Bergmann and keep English.
- natscan reduxit - Apr 15, 2010 at 1:19 AM
… I agree with Janner33 about Bergmann. I have heard and read a lot of stuff this spring about the tenuous statuses of many bullpen pitchers, but it always seems that Jason B. gets a pass in those considerations. I often wonder if it's because he's got pictures stashed somewhere. If he does, maybe they should go with him the the farm.
- Janner33 - Apr 15, 2010 at 1:27 AM
LOL at the "stashed pictures". Seems like for Bergmann every batter faced works a full count, then either a walk, or home run. English pitched a pretty decent game tonight.
- Suicide Squeeze - Apr 15, 2010 at 1:43 AM
Ran into the J-Berg riding the metro after a game with his wife — they were with a couple of friends going somewhere with them, not riding the train for kicks. If you've seen his wife, you know why he is being kept around. At least one of 'em is hot right now…
- natscan reduxit - Apr 15, 2010 at 1:52 AM
… hey Suicide: yeah, but can she toss a decent slider?
- natscan reduxit - Apr 15, 2010 at 1:57 AM
… seriously though folks, I've been thinking (a dangerous habit at the best of times), and it seems to me that these games against the hottest team in the east will serve the Nats well in the future. They have proven to me, and to themselves, that if they can stand in there with the Phils, they will most surely be able to bring it against the rest of the division. They don't play Philly for the entire season.Go Nats!!
- K.D. - Apr 15, 2010 at 1:58 AM
Hey, Does anybody else think Bruney might be hurt? I mean other than his feelings.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_is_Too_Pessimistic_for_Me - Apr 15, 2010 at 1:59 AM
Keep Mrs. Bergie. Send down Mr. Bergie.
- Suicide Squeeze - Apr 15, 2010 at 2:12 AM
I wonder if Riggles has the balls to go for two and the win if the Nats score the last minute TD….
- Spike94wl - Apr 15, 2010 at 2:28 AM
What changes could we possibly make (other than getting rid of Bergman)? I sure hope Rizzo doesn't panic and call Stras and Storen up too soon.
- Sunderland - Apr 15, 2010 at 2:36 AM
Here's something to chew on. Opposing pitchers are batting .412 against the Nats this season.

Massive delay does not sit well amid falling earnings
Waterloo, Ontario-based Research in Motion, Ltd. (
) tried to put on its most cheerful face reporting its fiscal Quarter 3 2012 earnings (calendar quarter 4 2011). The numbers weren't great, but they weren't worse than expected either, living up to analysts' somewhat grim predictions.
I. RIM Can't Find an LTE Chipset to Save Its Life
The biggest story was not the earnings itself, but the earnings call in which RIM announced its BlackBerry 10 OS would be delayed half a year.
Canadian brokerage firm National Bank Financial, "RIM confirmed the BlackBerry 10 smartphones will be delayed until the latter part of calendar 2012. This could be game over for the BlackBerry franchise."
Nomura analyst Stuart Jeffrey in a research note to investors concurred that this could be the end for RIM or at least was a huge hit. He writes, "We see a high risk that this is too late to turn around RIM's position and believe the risk of further delays is meaningful. Even in the best case, however, it seems unlikely RIM will have large volumes of its BB10 devices on sale within 15 months."
BBX -- or should we say "BlackBerry 10" -- has been delayed half a year.

RIM's co-CEOs, Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie, defend the decision to push the future of the company, well... into the future. They said that RIM would "bounce back" from "some of the most difficult times in the history of this company".
In the conference call Mr. Lazaridis blamed the delay partially on RIM's inability to find an LTE capable chipset, a somewhat astounding excuse given the volume of LTE chipsets. He
As I said on the last earnings call, we are focused on delivering a high quality, fully featured user experience when these products are launched. This means having a well-developed ecosystem of publications and services both in the hardware specifications, industrial design, and application features that will meet the expectations of consumers in the competitive US market. To achieve this goal, we need a highly integrated dual core LTE platform. The processor we selected offers industry-leading power and efficiency, and also allows us to deliver the industrial design that we believe is critical to the success in this market segment.
This chipset will not be available until mid-2012
, and as a result of this and certain other factors, we now expect our first BlackBerry 10 smartphones to reach markets in the latter part of calendar 2012.
For their failure the pair of co-CEOs have agreed to take pay cuts down to a $1 USD/year salary, effectively immediately.
II. "I find your lack of confidence disturbing"
Investors' patience with the pair is waning. Several high profile investors have put together plans advising the company to revamp its bizarre management structure. They also suggests
exploring the option of a sale

Dec. 2

Dec. 7

RIM's feeble patching attempt.
Dec. 8
RIM is barred from using the trademarked "BBX", is forced to rename operating system to "BlackBerry 10".
Dec. 14
The NPD Group reports that RIM is fading fast in sales and only has an
8 percent market share
in the U.S., down from its peak of almost 50 percent.
It's hard not to be skeptical of RIM's future given its increasing abysmal string of misfires and embarassments in the last three months.
All this seems very ironic given Mike Lazardis's 2009
-- "Sometimes we have to put the brakes on. We've shown that we can handle annual 100% growth. I'm not sure we could handle more than that."
It's certainly done a remarkable job putting the brakes on its growth, that can be said for it.
III. The Financials
Now back to the financials themselves.
For the revenue RIM cheerfully highlights, "Revenue of $5.2 billion, up 24% from last quarter."
That $5.223B USD (GAAP adjusted) is a far cry from RIM's original outlook of $5.3B-$5.6B, which it was forced to adjust downwards just weeks ago, in an effort to soften the blow. It's also down 4.95% from the company's
reported revenue
$5.495B USD in fiscal Q3 2011, a year ago.
Why compare to fiscal Q2 2012 only, when Q3 revenue has always been higher than Q2 revenue for RIM? Such quarter-to-quarter comparison are not unusual, but companies typically put both the quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year numbers in the highlight, if they differer substantially.
RIM reports a "GAAP net income of $265 million or $0.51 per share diluted; adjusted net income of $667 million or $1.27 per share diluted."
This is down from a net revenue of $877M USD ($1.67 USD/share) in Q3 2011, a plunge in profits of 22.7 percent.
About the only hopeful numbers for RIM come in its subscribe counts, which rose 35 percent on a year to year basis, hitting "almost 75 million", with 14.1 million BlackBerry smartphones sold in Q3 2012. But that optimism is tempered by the fact that the global smartphone market is growing is
to have grown 55-57 percent in 2011.
In other words, the comprehensive picture from the earnings report is that RIM may be growing its subscribers, but it's falling behind its competitors in growth and is seeing its profitability plunge.

Perhaps most telling is the fact that RIM has only $1.5B USD in cash on hand. That means that just one or two quarters in the red could sink the veteran firm. For that reason, it's hard not to agree with the analysts at the NBF -- this could be "game over" for RIM.

RE: No LTE chipset
The Gizmodo ones, to think of some off the top of my head, though whether this is to do wih the chipsets or the fact that the phones are 4G, is not made clear. The universally awful battery life/power drain puts me in mind of the early 3G phones and is the biggest factor in Apple and RIM not wanting to launch LTE phones yet. Nobody is going to buy an iPhone/BB which has worse battery life than that which comes before it. That and not everywhere even has LTE/4G networks yet e.g. the UK.
"If they're going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else." -- Microsoft Business Group President Jeff Raikes

"This was such a cute invitation, I had so many compliments on it from the people who received it. It was convenient that I was able to add a couple extra lines of text for specific party instructions."
"Loved this invitation! Used this for our daughter's surprise 13th birthday party. The design was perfect, easy to customize for the SURPIRSE event. We used Tiny prints website for RSVP's and ordered the matching return address labels and thank you notes! Perfect!"
"We ordered these invitations for my daughter's 11th birthday. Everyone loved them! We took the advise from another reviewer and had the date, address etc printed in pink instead of white. These cards were great, they weren't too young looking and had that teen feel to them and great fun colors! Loved them!"
"We used bright pink text for the party info, which looked great against the black! The printing was wonderful. My daughter's friends are all 10-11 age range, and they loved the invitations."
"An added bonus to complement this fresh design— this card comes in a larger 4x6 format! It's the perfect size to showcase your special occasion in an understated, yet impactful way."

Did anybody think that Rachel had a big high kick into her flips?
Did anybody think that Rachel had a big high kick into her flips?
It does NOT bother me at all. Each skater has a different technique to get a right timing to enter jumps. Everyone is somehow slightly different. Rachale has her own technique and it works for her very well. It is not even close to what you call mule-kick.
I just love her. Thank you Rachael for the great season. I enjoyed it so much!!
Each skater might have his or her own technique, but some are more correct than others. Caroline's technique, for example, might work for her, but it's hardly orthodox. It might not bother you, but it doesn't mean it's right
I wouldn't call it a mule kick, but she does raise her leg pretty high. It's not pretty. Her technique for both the lutz and flip is odd.
I am not sure if it is a mule kick, but like Caroline she seems to swing back and forth on her edge, a trait that has gotten worse in the last year. This causes a "e" call on her lutz at worlds when actually when she took off she was on the outside edge as seen in slo-mo replay. But she changed edge so much it did not look clean.
I believe that high kicking is an unintentional attempt by the body to store kenetic energy to achieve a rotation. To jump without the kick requires more strength. I have read that Caroline is attempting to increase her strength. She actually looked somewhat muscular in that People Magazine ad.
Caroline is muscular, but she doesn't have much upper body strength which I think helps with rotation. Compared to someone like Mirai or Yuna, she has very narrow shoulders even though they are all about the same height and weight. Looking at them, Rachael and Caroline likely have lower centers of gravity than a lot of the other girls because they have small shoulders and bigger hips and that's goign to prevent them from getting as much height on their jumps than someone with a higher center of gravity, but on the other hand, because they don't jump as high they are less likely to fall.
Actually, from a physics standpoint, a high kick reduces the amount of energy that can be translated into upward and rotational motion, so kicking up before picking is a net negative.
Yes, but not compared to her legs and hips. She used to be very short and straight up and down, but now she doesn't have a little kid body anymore. She does not appear to be as thin as skaters like Mao, Yuna, Akiko, it looks like she is a bit more solid and where she has such bad technique she can't use her strength to power through her jumps.
I ve seen both Caroline and Flatt live and Flatt's kick was more annoying to me. It is the way she takes off also. That or I just liked Caroline's everything else much more so i didnt mind. Now I ve seen almost all top Usa ladies live, Flatt was the one I couldnt really appreciate at all.
I think Rachael has some sort of "mule kick" but it definitely cannot rival Caroline's.
I really hope Caroline can get hers fixed by next season though. That kick is just getting worse and worse every season.
To me it looks like a mule swing. Well, I guess mules don't exactly swing - maybe an elephant trunk's swing.
I think Rachael's problem with her flip is her upper body. Her shoulders just look weird in that jump.

Here is one story that could be classed as bovine intervention.
A truck full of cows and its driver are fortunate to have survived when the vehicle they were in slammed into an SUV and flipped on its side.
An oncoming vehicle captured in its dash cam as the truck lost control, crashed into another car, and then slid on its side in Krasnodar Region of Russia. The herd of cattle spilled in the middle of the road in front of passing motorists.
Immediately after, the disoriented cows stood up on their feet and walked away like nothing happened. Both the cows and the driver did not sustain any life-threatening injuries.

Waiting Room for the Beyond: John Register, 1988 (Modernism Gallery, San Francisco)
Beyond the Pale
"It is the intention of the organism to survive"
Like to the larkin at break of day arising . . . only here the upstairs window
And beyond it, the deep [grey fog], that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless."
grey whiteness of fog against invisible
ridge, crows calling from pine branches
in foreground, sound of wave in channel
repetition, stretching away
toward the surface of
it, question in light of it
possible, means that
grey white of fog against top of ridge,
wingspan of gull flapping toward point
For a time there is
the constant down and up of things,
and the sometimes slide to happiness—
if that's what it turns out to be—
where gravity for once is in your favor.
You must ask the right questions.
Much later, at the precarious windowsill,
as though fleeing something,
there's the deep backward gaze at life's ghosts.
So you turn to invoke the ancient sun,
and find in the clear blue air,
another question.
The thinking here, sharp and direct, clear. The colloquial pulse carrying you to the endless nowhere.
A poet afraid of lying.
Larkin seems to have had a rare failure as a person, the inability to deceive himself.
"The weight of depression he carried endures as a severe purity in his poems," commented John Updike. "It would seem that at some point early in his development he retracted any large hopes for human interaction."
In an early novel, A Girl in Winter (1947), Larkin's heroine, Katherine Lind, sees for herself a future which in its bleakness looks forward to that major weight of depression that is the burden of the poems to come.
"Life would be happy insofar as she was happy, sad insofar as she was sad. The happiness would depend on her youth and health, and would help no-one. When she was ill, it would drop away, like the flame of a wick being turned down; when she grew old, it would be thin and infrequent. And in these times no other thing or person would be able to help her, though they might try sincerely, and she might try equally sincerely to be helped. But they would not be able to touch any more than people standing ten yards apart can take each other's hands."
Larkin was extremely conscious of the awkwardness of his physical appearance, and as in other areas, resisted the self-deception that makes so many ordinary-looking public people fall in love with their own image. He famously shied from being photographed.
Many of the publicity photos that survive were done by Fay Godwin.
Godwin first snapped him 1969. A reluctant Larkin was not optimistic about the outcome. "I should think it was a thankless task: I have as much expression as a lump of sugar."
Over the years she dutifully provided occasional book jacket portraits.
"Faber's judged some of them too dark for satisfactory reproduction ... 'CS Lewis on a Drugs Charge' seemed to be used most frequently.'... It is not your fault I look like a cross between an egg and a bloodhound on some of them."
In 1983 Faber put about a Godwin image Larkin particularly disliked -- the "Boston Strangler" picture, as he termed it.
Still there was to be another book, and he posed once more for Godwin... needs must.
As in past shoots, she again captured him in his customary lair, the library, "where I am peering out from among dark shelves with a somewhat furtive, whimsical appearance".
Philip Larkin by Fay Godwin
On this photo, her favourite, his verdict: "...my sagging face, an egg sculpted in lard, with goggles on -- depressing, depressing, depressing".
Perish the thought of Larkin ever having to do an American tour -- or worse yet, being caught making love to himself after the contemporary fashion, with a selfie.
A poet one never tires of reading.
"Larkin seems to have had a rare failure as a person, the inability to deceive himself."
You could not have said it better. Wow, to have such a gift and such a curse.
Such a great poem and post.

Twins try to solve A's in Hughes' home debut
Righty aims to end Minnesota's seven-game skid vs. Oakland, Chavez
The A's will look to continue their torrid tear against the Twins on Wednesday, when the two clubs meet for the middle matchup of a three-game set at Target Field following a rare Tuesday off-day.
Oakland has won 12 of its last 14 games against the Twins, including seven straight dating to last year, and six of the last seven in Minnesota.
The A's scored eight runs in Monday's opener, giving them 76 total in eight games vs. Minnesota since the start of last year -- compared to 26 runs scored by the Twins in that same span.
Minnesota will have Phil Hughes on the mound to try to stop Oakland's momentum on Wednesday. The right-hander is looking to bounce back after giving up four runs on seven hits, including two homers, over five innings in his Twins debut against the White Sox on Thursday.
Hughes will be making his first start in a Twins uniform at Target Field after posting a 2.11 ERA there in three starts as a Yankee. He's hopeful the move to the spacious park will help him as a flyball pitcher, as he was prone to giving up homers at hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium.
"I've always loved pitching here in the past," said Hughes, who is 3-2 with a 4.33 ERA in 10 career games (seven starts) against the A's. "It's a pitchers' ballpark, and it's a beautiful ballpark as well. I think it's one of the best in baseball."
The A's will counter with right-hander Jesse Chavez, who is slated to make his second start of the season and just the fourth of his career. He settled for a no-decision in his first start against the Mariners last week, allowing just one earned run on five hits with two walks and four strikeouts in six innings.
Chavez is 0-0 with a 6.14 ERA in six career appearances against Minnesota, all in relief. But the A's have always envisioned the 30-year-old as a starter, and his four-pitch repertoire suits this role.
"A lot of guys, it takes awhile for them to just accept themselves and have the belief at the big league level that they can do it," said A's manager Bob Melvin. "And he's there now. It's pretty impressive, and it's a testament to his commitment and belief in himself."
A's: Crisp, Lowrie questionable for Wednesday
Oakland center fielder Coco Crisp, who is experiencing left wrist inflammation, received a cortisone shot on Sunday to ease the discomfort, and he was not in the lineup for Monday's series opener. With an off-day Tuesday, the A's are hoping that two days of rest are enough for Crisp, who could potentially be back in the lineup as soon as Wednesday.
Crisp has reached base safely in each of his first five games to start the season. He hit three home runs in six games against Minnesota last year and has 11 career homers against the Twins, matching his most against any team (White Sox).
Shortstop Jed Lowrie is also day to day after getting hit by a pitch in his lower right leg in the seventh inning Monday.
Twins: Bartlett to DL, Herrmann recalled
The Twins placed utility man Jason Bartlett on the 15-day disabled list with a left ankle sprain and recalled catcher/outfielder Chris Herrmann from Triple-A Rochester before Monday's home opener. Bartlett, 0-for-3 in three games so far this season, sustained the injury sliding into home plate in the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Indians.
"With Bart, we didn't think it was that big of a deal, but he had to come out of the game and it started to stiffen up on him on the plane last night," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "He went on the field today with [head trainer Dave] Pruemer, and he ran around and could feel it. So we had to figure out what we were going to do, and because he wasn't ready for a few days, we decided to put Bartlett on the DL."
Worth noting
• Twins first baseman/outfielder Chris Colabello was named co-American League Player of the Week with Josh Hamilton on Monday after hitting .391 (9-for-23) with four doubles, one home run, 11 RBIs and four runs scored.
• Josh Willingham (bruised left wrist) and Oswaldo Arica (sore left wrist) were both held out of action for the Twins on Monday. Both are expected to be reevaluated on Wednesday, and they could hit the 15-day disabled list if they're not ready to play.
• A's right-hander Jim Johnson has converted all five of his save opportunities in 13 career games against the Twins.
• Yoenis Cespedes, who collected a double in Monday's opener, is a .385 (20-for-52) career hitter against Minnesota, which is his best average against any AL team.

So these are "stable"?
Phoronix: NVIDIA Pushes Out Another Binary Driver Update
While NVIDIA doesn't stick to a defined release cycle like AMD where they will issue Catalyst driver updates for Linux and Windows on a predictable monthly basis, as of late they have been pushing out a lot of drivers. Two weeks ago NVIDIA released four new Linux drivers and then just a day later they released another driver...
So these are "stable"?
I had a foolish hope when i saw that: "Fixed an X driver performance problem on integrated GPUs." Unfortunately the performace is as catastrophic as usual on my NVS 135M under KDE 4 with composite activated. KDE 4 has been out for over a year. NVidia still has not fixed their driver. I will keep recommending people not to buy any nvidia product thanks to their behaviour. One year. Incredible.
is it just me that this phoronix *news* is more like an amd *advertisement*. besides, lol at *predictable* (thankfully the word *regular* was not abused) amd releases .
i wonder what would happen in a situation if phoronix were asked to write a wikipedia entry on linux graphics drivers . (would imagine it would be worse than if it were done by stallman himself .)
@ Med_: i understand your frustration, but this is not constructive. i have myself seen kde slowness, but i have seen things improve and wrinkles get ironed out over the time with very honest efforts from both nvidia and the kde team. i am using ubuntu 8.10 with kde 4.2 from kubuntu-experimental repo - 3d effects are smoother than compiz and 2d is good too. in any case, try to at least describe the problem you are facing.
NVIDIA seems to be taking care of KDE4 performance issues. Granted, GeForce 6-series cards didn't have the same "serious" issues as I guess the 7's and 8's did, but there were issues. And they are dissolving.
And, for the record, NVIDIA is doing a better job fixing KDE4 issues than AMD is with video. Or wine. Or $any_number_of_other_problems.
I stated in several occasions that Phoronix is absolutley pro-AMD and have suggested them to just put an AMD logo for website. This can be "silently" understood from Michael's way of writing AMD articles and NVIDIA articles.
However, what I understood in time is that Michael isn't pro-AMD, because he writes in the same way even for Intel articles(well, not exactly the same :P ). This means that he simply doesn't like blob binary drivers, even if they are 1000 times better than any opens source driver of AMD/INTEL.
I don't know, they're usually gushing praise for the Catalyst releases as well. Well, aside from the fact that XvBA is vaporware so far.
If that is the case, then I (and a lot of other people) don't understand why is your AMD articles always like a "wow" and NVIDIA like "yea ok, I'm bored"... because that is what I understand from your posts....... and I'm sure im not the only one to feel this..
But anyways I don't have anything against you even if you were pro-AMD 'cause I'm the first one to own AMD hardware

Don't leave home without them By Jerry on 1/28/2015
Jerry would recommend this product to a friendThese socks work great. Can't imagine reefing without them. They catch 10 times what the skimmer will. When leaving on vacation I install tee's on my down-tubes to accommodate extra socks, so I can go longer between changes. Great product. Easy to clean as well. Thanks BRS -
Will not fit on a 1" pipe properly By scott on 12/21/2014
scott wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI purchases the 4" X 14" tie string filter bag. It will not close down on a 1" pvc pipe. I had to prop it up underneath to use it. I have seen filter bags secure to 1" pvc pipe ends before. Dissapointed. -

Good quality By Robert on 11/20/2014

Strong socks! By shovelrider on 9/29/2014
shovelrider would recommend this product to a friendI use these draw string socks to filter out the junk before it can settle in my sump.

Funny, I tried to 'solve' my rubiks cube that way. I managed to rip the stickers in half...or more, so I had a very sad looking rubiks cube.
That was always my solution.
Cheating! That's how I see it...
That is how I solved mine. I never could do it the right way.
nice work Jamie, but it needs more TARDIS.
I learned how to solve this and it's both a blessing and a curse. Now I can never leave one unsolved. Also people at work think I'm a genius so that's good too.
Ack! They always tell you not to do this to your Rubik's cube. Oh well, I guess it is a solution to a normal problem.
"Rubik's Cube is driving me crazy, gonna take off all the stickers 'cause I'm too stupid and lazy..."
You can pry the cube apart and then reassemble it. And here's how Mythbusters does it:
It probably took longer to "solve" it that way that doing it the right way. But we all did it anyway ;)
odysseyroc wrote:nice work Jamie, but it needs more TARDIS.
Instruction manual for everything, if you can figure it out. Also, if you squint at the blue it could be Tardis like ; )
Beyond just a great reminder ofmy high school days and the temptations therein, I think this shirt is a metaphor for todays'youth, who are told they are all perfect and all winners - at all times . . . And the reality???? : It's actually no viable solution to the problem. Or maybe, just maybe . . .it's just a really cool shirt.
alanhwoot wrote:You can pry the cube apart and then reassemble it. And here's how Mythbusters does it:
Yep... that's how smart people do it. My friend and I both figured it out on our own. Wearing this t-shirt, IMHO, says well... not smart.
I always took what I call the "War Games" approach to the cube, in that the only way to win was not to play.
Wish the shirt had no text, kinda redundant and distracting.
When I was a kid I did this to my uncles Rubik's cube. He didn't talk to me for a week.
gcosta wrote:Wish the shirt had no text, kinda redundant and distracting.
I like it with the text. It's a simple silly message.
I didn't have to take the stickers off. I just popped off the actual pieces and reattached them in the right places. Seriously.
Ha ha ha, yeah I also just popped the pieces out and reassembled the cube. Though that's just as bad for the toy as taking the stickers off and slowly the cube pieces would fall out without much effort...
I was too disaffected in my youth to extend even this much effort. If I got more than five matching on one side, that would elicit an, "eh, good enough" from me.
There needs to be another version of this shirt without sticker tampering. But with the exact same text and stuff.
Just bought my first cube a few months ago! It's now a goal of mine to solve it before I die. But as of now, it's just sitting on a shelf mocking me. :-(
That's the only way I've ever solved a Rubik's Cube. :-( My stickers looked pretty much undisturbed afterward and remain stuck to that cube to this day. :-)
My cube growing up ended up in some odd non-cube shape. I have NO clue how I manged it.
I learned to solve the cube using "legitimate" methods back in the '90s. Now, I can honestly say that "I just take off the stickers" is the single most annoying phrase anyone can ever use in the presence of a cube. Overused and not funny. Like people calling me Luke Skywalker.

Please, do tell.
This shirt would've been cooler if the stickers had been applied in an impossible configuration. Like the blue and green sides touching, which can't happen on a standard cube. As small as that detail is, it would have pushed me to a buy.
Souka wrote:Yep... that's how smart people do it. My friend and I both figured it out on our own. Wearing this t-shirt, IMHO, says well... not smart.
You do realize that that clip is backwards, right? They solved nothing.
justinmatthewh wrote:There needs to be another version of this shirt without sticker tampering. But with the exact same text and stuff.
We already know which people think they are better than everyone. They don't need a shirt that says it.
hahaha--awesome shirt, Boots!!
I always opted for the disassemble solution. Funny shirt, Jamie!
It really wasn't that hard to solve, was it? It took me days the first time, then I got down to less than 90 seconds. Today I probably couldn't solve on in less than a few days.
this is how any child of the 1980's did it. though i also pried mine apart. resonates with my childhood but i think that it is intuitive enough to have done without the 'solved it'. those who couldn't figure that part out don't deserve to be in on it.
Everybody knows that the center of the cube has the right colors on it already, and don't need to be moved.
This turned out nicely. Happy to see it print. A mixed up blue TARDIS/cube is an epic idea, though.
Well, you know what they say..."think outside the box".
Hey I acctually solved it for real in the 80s before there was a manual telling you how to solve it. (I know aging myself). I can still solve it. I shiver when I see the stickers pulled off.
If the shirt had a screw driver next to the cube with a corner piece left to put in and said 'almost solved' it would have been perfect.......for me. I had it down to 35 seconds at my best.
It's a funny shirt folks, not really meant to be an instruction manual. And text seals the deal much more than you could imagine.

Overshadowing all those great things in my mind has been the great Looming. She has another ear surgery tomorrow morning. We only told her Thursday, after school let out and after her joys that deserved inhibition were joyed. Then we made much of little things all weekend, that tooth and a big-girl bike without small-girl wheels and everything that we could, because tomorrow before the sun rises I'll be driving her to the surgery center.
If you're a hoper or prayer or magic-bean buyer (I'll take whatever you've got to give), would you throw some of your love our way for an easy and successful surgery tomorrow? We have to face the surgery itself, and here's the breath-holding part: we don't know if it will be successful. It might, and then we should be done forever. Or it might not, and then we'll have to do another more complicated surgery, in a full-fledged hospital with a specialty surgeon and more invasive details. And we just don't know. Tomorrow will work or it won't. Either way, it's all the things she fears: the strange invasive touch of unfamiliar medical professionals, the antiseptic smell that's never meant anything fun at all, the mask for the general anesthesia that's given her nightmares since she first watched it descend on her three years ago.
By the time you serve breakfast tomorrow, it will be over, though we won't know its impact for six weeks. But if you have a ray of optimism to spare as you wake we'd love to hold it for you.
