Life After Mariano: The First Save
The rain kept coming in the Bronx, never severe but never quite letting up. The first-place Rays had been playing from behind since Raul Ibanez's home run in the fourth, and in section 212 of Yankee Stadium, two rows into the coveted dry area out in right field, I wondered if this would be the night.
Mariano Rivera, the greatest closer in baseball history, tore his ACL on Thursday while shagging batting practice flies in Kansas City. After 608 career saves, a staggering 0.70 postseason ERA, and anything else you'd ever want in the witches' brew of a Hall of Famer, the 42-year-old's career was in jeopardy. He pulled a MacArthur and vowed to return, but now there are complications. And even if he does return, his words — mostly of the I can't go out like this variety — carry a prideful aura. He wants to prove a point, and he wants to have his farewell tour.
Which is great and completely deserved, but it probably means the Rivera Era is done.
At some point, the David Robertson Era — however it will be viewed by history (who coached at UCLA after John Wooden again?) — had to begin. Joe Girardi was cagey about whether he'd use Robertson or Rafael Soriano as closer, but the patterns that emerged since the injury all pointed to Robertson. Still, it had to be tested in a real save situation. None of this Kansas City test-flight stuff.
A glance at the crowd revealed about 40 percent capacity from section to section. It was a great game on paper, with Ivan Nova facing James Shields as the Yanks tried to climb to the top of the division, but the rain kept some people away from the get-go (they couldn't even be lured by the giveaway — a free hand-sanitizer key chain), and it drove others to the comforts of the concourse and beyond as the game went along.
Nova was fantastic through five, but Tampa started to chip away at the lead, scoring one each in the sixth, seventh, and eighth. Ibanez hit his second home run in the seventh, and A-Rod scored an insurance run on a Mark Teixeira double an inning later. Going into the top of the ninth, the numbers aligned: 5-3 Yankees, and Robertson was the man warming up in the left-field pen.
Here's how it worked when Mariano came out for the ninth inning of a save situation. First, the PA announcer — the late, legendary Bob Sheppard, and Paul Olden after him — would intone his name with the requisite gravity, and the crowd would go wild even before the first notes of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" began to play. With the music sending everyone into a fever pitch, the gap between innings was one of the best parts of the whole ballgame. Mariano, stoic and calm, sailed to the mound like the human personification of that impossible concept — reassurance. And then he threw the famous cutter over and over, and everyone rose to their feet when the strike count read two, and the Yankees won.
Here's how it worked Tuesday. As Robertson left the bullpen, the first notes of "Sweet Home Alabama" twanged out over the PA. Makes sense, since he's from Birmingham. But then the 5,959-square-foot video screen came to life, and Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano, and Curtis Granderson pleaded with Yankees fans to send in their ballots for the upcoming All-Star Game. By the time they finished, Robertson was already at the mound. (A purposeful deflection from the producers, or just the ho-hum life after Mariano?) Jeter, A-Rod, and Cano stood in a pack by second base watching, and the video screen showed three semi-miserable guys in red ponchos and an old woman with a beret who stuck her tongue out. My girlfriend poked me with a pen to the rhythm of the song as I tried to convince both of us that this moment mattered.
"Now pitching for the Yankees," Olden said, "number 30, David Robertson. Number 30." There was a smattering of applause, but nothing that would indicate Yankee Stadium was aware of the great transition.
By the way, David Robertson is really good. Coming into the game, he'd allowed just 10 base runners in 12 innings, and his ERA was a perfect 0.00. He had registered 21 strikeouts to just three walks. Behind me, a fan explained Robertson to his friend.
"The point is, he's supposed to be the next Mariano."
"Nobody's Mariano."
"No, but he's good. And the crazy part is, they discovered him last year out of nowhere, just like Jeremy Lin."
That last part is not even remotely true. He was drafted by the Yanks in 2006 and has been with the big club since 2008 (one of my best live memories was watching him get out of an extra-innings, no-out, bases-loaded jam against the Twins during the 2009 playoff run), and he keeps getting better. Last year, he made his first All-Star Game and finished with a 1.08 ERA in 66 innings. He's 27, tops out near 95 mph, and throws a lot of fastballs, some curveballs, and a very occasional changeup. He wears his dark socks high on the leg, like A-Rod and Granderson.
The first pitch of the David Robertson Era was a 93-mph fastball to Jeff Keppinger. The second was another fastball, and Keppinger turned this one into a groundout to second.
That's when things got a little interesting. He started Will Rhymes with three straight balls, and ended up walking him to put the tying run at the plate. Then Sean Rodriguez waited out a few fastballs before hitting a ground ball that could have been a game-ending double play, but instead went in the hole between short and third for a single. Jeter and Martin walked to the mound to share a calming word or two. It worked — Brandon Allen stepped in for the light-hitting Jose Molina, but Robertson was all over him. After a strike looking and a foul, the soggy crowd mustered an impressive energy to cheer on the legend's replacement. Robertson reared back and fired the strikeout pitch, sending Allen to the dugout.
With two away, a spirited "Let's go Yankees" chant was started up somewhere to my right, but they lost their vigor when Robertson walked Ben Zobrist on five pitches.
"This isn't Mariano," affirmed the fan behind me.
"He always does this," moaned another.
Let's be charitable and put it this way: If the "Yankees fans are spoiled" stereotype is true, it didn't help the entitled group psychology to have Mariano Rivera in pinstripes for the better part of two decades.
With the bases loaded, Girardi came out for a visit. Jeter and Martin joined him, hoping that more soothing words would do the trick. There should be microphones everywhere, I thought, but only I should hear them since we might otherwise get into some messy civil liberties territory. A couple walked down the aisle in my section to take a picture at the rail with the field as a backdrop. On the mound, the skipper and the captain left the new closer alone.
Carlos Pena stepped in, and Robertson delivered a devastating curve. The fans rose to their feet — were they sensing victory, or hoping to urge it along? Pena took strike two, then laid off the kind of high heat Mariano used to throw, back in the '90s. One more ball, and then Robertson delivered the death blow — a fastball on the outside corner.
Dwarfed and made insignificant by the roar, Pena put his arm around umpire Jim Joyce to voice his final complaints. The Yankees all came to Robertson, and the video screen showed WCBS's John Sterling shaking with joy as he delivered his famous line, and the PA played Sinatra's famous song. History having been made, we followed the soaked masses to the 4 train.
David Robertson's first save just happened, and whether it was important or not … well, it happened. He's not Mariano, but he's got his own thing going. Welcome to the era.

More seats on Wairarapa peak hour train
Posted By admin On December 6, 2012 @ 3:04 pm In PressRelease | Comments Disabled
Press Release – Greater Wellington Regional Council

More seats on Wairarapa peak hour train
Wairarapa peak hour commuters are enjoying a less crowded train home now that an extra carriage has been added to the 4.25pm service from Wellington to Masterton.
The train now runs with eight carriages instead of seven.
Peter Glensor, Chair of Greater Wellington Regional Council's Economic Wellbeing Committee, says he's pleased the extra carriage has been added as the overcrowding on that particular service has been happening for quite some time.
"Concerns about insufficient capacity on that service came through pretty clearly when we started a review of Wairarapa public transport services in 2011. A survey we did as part of that review found that 50% of all north-bound passengers use the 4.25pm service each day. For a few months now people have had to stand all the way to Featherston. So it's great that with KiwiRail's cooperation we've been able to increase capacity on that service. Regular commuters have told us it's making a real difference.
"We're aware that the overcrowding on that service has deterred people from taking the train and they've reverted to their cars. I'm sure that when word gets out about the increased capacity, people will come back to rail. It's a lot cheaper to take the train than drive that distance every day and it saves quite a bit of wear and tear on your car."
Peter Glensor says the Regional Council has also recently let the contract for the conversion of six carriages, previously used on the Hutt Valley Line, for use on the Wairarapa Line. "Having more carriages available will give Tranz Metro a bit more flexibility, particularly when carriages have to be taken off line for maintenance or repairs."
These additional carriages are expected to be ready for service on the Wairarapa Line around the middle of year.

Gallatin County Attorney Marty Lambert filed a sixth charge against Kevin Briggs, the Bozeman man who allegedly walked out of the Law and Justice Center on the morning of February 1.
Briggs is accused of trying to sexually assault a woman earlier that morning. Police say he escaped after they brought him in for questioning.
Police say Briggs then eluded capture for three weeks as officials followed leads from Missoula to San Francisco. Briggs was eventually captured in Portland, Oregon, and brought back to Gallatin County.
Briggs currently faces five felony charges. Those include Escape, Aggravated Assault, Attempted Sexual Intercourse Without Consent, Assault on a Peace Officer, and Failure to Register as a Sexual Offender.
The sixth charge County Attorney Marty Lambert filed on Tuesday is Criminal Possession of Dangerous Drugs, also a felony.
Court documents say a syringe seized from Briggs' backpack was sent to the Montana State Forensic Science Division for analysis. The results came back that the syringe contained a drug called Etizolam. Documents go on to say Etizolam is a drug with amnesic, hypnotic and sedative effects.
Lambert said it's up to Judge Mike Salvagni to approve the sixth charge.
"If the judge permits me to file a sixth charge, that's five years, so I think we are at a potential of 150 years, if the defendant were found guilty, or convicted, of all of the charges," said Lambert.
The next hearing regarding this case is an omnibus hearing scheduled for July 14.

Click to enlarge chart The 4Q11 Numbers for Energy XXI (NASDAQ:EXXI): Production was impacted during the quarter due to a pipeline related curtailment. This looks to have resulted in lower than Street consensus EBITDA due to abnormally high workover and maintenance expense associated with pipeline repair work. The 10-Q isn't filed yet and I don't see comments on it in the press release but if that's it then otherwise cash costs looked to be in line and I would expect LOE to return to more normal levels after the current quarter. Production: Highlights
Nutshell: A solid quarter for the company. At the present share price, the name is trading at a TEV to proved BOE of $18.52 per barrel, which means little if any value is currently placed on potential success and associated reserves from its Ultra Deep Shelf program at a time when that program is weeks away from more well results and just four to five months away from first production from the Davy Jones discovery well. Meanwhile, the company is just getting started exploiting the neglected (under funded/under exploited) assets of the Exxon transaction while still making progress de-leveraging the balance sheet. I continue to hold the name in the ZLT having added as recently as yesterday.

Wherever You Go, Yelp Mobile And Its 20 Million Reviews And Deals Will Find You
"I don't think of it as mobile location, I think of it as a content problem. How can you get access to all the information that helps you point that consumer in the right direction?" says Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman.
In the seven years since its inception, Yelp has grown from a small website into a monster web property that infamously turned down an acquisition from Google in 2009. The ball appears to be rolling downhill for Yelp, with no end in sight. But ask anybody in Yelp's offices, spanning four floors of a high rise above San Francisco's Yerba Buena Gardens, and they'll tell you it's practically day one for the service. The core product has remained mostly the same, but this company is constantly reinventing itself to keep up with evolving, location-aware smartphones.
There's been hockey-stick-like consumer adoption of Yelp in the past few years, too, By leveraging mobile location technology, Yelp capitalized on an opportunity to enhance their product and create new revenue drivers at the same time.

Pinggoy, Atangan, Tongco topbill 2nd Seaoil High School All-Star Game
Thursday, 14 February 2013 4 Comments
Thirty-two of the best high school seniors in the country will be on show in the second Seaoil High School All-Star Game this coming March 3 at the Ynares Center in Pasig City. The Seaoil High School All-Star Game is the one of the highlights of the National Basketball Training Center (NBTC) Finals that is held every first weekend of March.
"The Seaoil High School All-Star Game is once again the premier event to showcase the Philippines' top high school basketball talent," said NBTC Training Director Alex Compton. "We are excited to see the best of the best compete against each other on a national stage. These kids are all graduating from high school and not everyone knows about their talent. The Seaoil High School All-Star Game will be their stage."
Among those participating in this year's event that is patterned after the McDonald's All-American tournament are FEU's Jerie Pinggoy, NU's Ralph Atangan, San Beda's Ranbill Tongco, UST's Nicko Bahia, Cagayan De Oro National High School's John Luna, the University of Visayas' Paul Desiderio, and St. John's Institute's heralded Kib Montalbo to name a few.
In the first-ever Seaoil High School All-Star Game, Mapua's Ace Basas came out of nowhere to take the Most Valuable Player Award from more heralded players such as then Xavier Stallion Jeron Teng, Mapua Red Robin JJ Alejandro, and San Beda's Daryl Nazareno. Basas is now with Ateneo.
It was during the tryouts for this event where the University of the Philippines spotted Sacred Heart of Cebu's Henry Asilum.
Summed up Compton, "Since November of 2012, well over 200 high school teams from all over the country have been competing for the chance to play in the Seaoil NBTC Jr. National Championship. Sixteen teams remain and in the first three days of March, they will compete for the opportunity to be the best high school team in the country. We are grateful to Seaoil and the MVP Sports Foundation for their commitment to these schools, coaches, and young men. Skills are being developed, character is being built, and leaders being raised. Yet on March 3rd, only one team can be champion."

I enjoyed Reilly's friendship. And now we are real friend. I think his "Friend in SF for an afternoon" idea is unique and great. If you travel in SF alone or feel missing something, you should offer him this. But the best thing I want to tell you is that he is very nice person. I was impressed by his consideration. Thanks, Reilly!

I recently finished up another neck project for a customer who had an old spunover banjo that belonged to his grandfather. This was a fun project and the neck turned out great on this old banjo. The rim had been refinished by it's owner, but the old neck was in pretty bad shape. Amazingly it was an almost Identical neck to the one that was on the old Gibson pot. These two banjos came to me from two different parts of the country, I wish I knew who made these necks!
Here are a few images of the old necks on this one and the Gibson.

Feds agree to recognize fallen 9/11 EMT
By David B. Caruso
Associated Press
Copyright 2008 The Associated Press
NEW YORK — After a five-year fight, the U.S. government has dropped its effort to prevent a volunteer firefighter killed at the World Trade Center from receiving a federal death benefit for public safety officers who die on the job.
The decision is a belated victory for the family of Glenn Winuk, a longtime member of the Jericho Volunteer Fire Department who rushed to the burning towers on Sept. 11, 2001, to tend to victims of the terrorist attack.
Winuk, 40, was working at his Manhattan law office the morning of the attacks, but he grabbed a medical bag and raced to pitch in with the rescue effort. He died when the skyscrapers collapsed; when his body was found in the rubble, months later, he was wearing surgical gloves and a stethoscope.
The Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Assistance fought his family's effort to collect a $250,000 payment due to police officers, firefighters and other government emergency workers killed in the line of duty.
The agency argued that the benefit was intended only for active-duty public safety officers, and that Winuk didn't qualify because he hadn't been on regular duty with his volunteer department on Long Island since 1998.
The turning point in the case came when a judge on the Federal Court of Claims sided with the family last June, ruling that the government's denial of the benefit had been arbitrary.
The long court battle finally ended on Jan. 10, after the Office of the Solicitor General decided to drop its last appeal in the case.
"It's really terrific. This fight has gone on too long," said Glenn's brother, Jay Winuk.
Although the move clears the way for Winuk's parents to receive the $250,000, the family says their primary interest is in achieving proper government recognition for Glenn's public service.
"It's very meaningful to my parents," Jay Winuk said.
He added that he hoped President Bush would now see fit to award his late brother the 9/11 Heroes Medal of Valor, which was given to the relatives of 442 other public safety officers killed in the terror attacks.

Do you need the whole thing or just a new coil/diaphragm?
They sell them here if that helps: Audax Tweeters, incl. TW025A0 ( HD 12x9D25 ), TW034X0, TW025M1 |

Cal, I only need the faceplate/coil/diaphragm.
That vendor does NOT have the HD9x8D25. I checked. Edit: Sorry, my mistake. They do have just a replacement coil/diaphragm to be glued in the old faceplate. Not the same as the original, but I suppose I can just buy 2 for a balanced set. That will work. Thanks much. Last edited by dgta; 6th October 2012 at 09:11 PM. |

It is very possible that the Butterflies (that is what the dome/voicecoil assembly is called) can be had in North America. Many years ago i got some from Meniscus.
The butterfly is sandwiched between the magnet & the face-plate. Because they are keyed it is a REALLY easy repair. dave

But all 3 items was heavily broken into pieces . He promise me refund , and every day did promise until almost I run out of the time frame what pay pal gave me . He ask me if I withdraw the negative feed back right away he will refund my money I did everithing and on the and he almost talk me on to pus the button the clam is resolved . I just wan to warn you guys if you using eBay try to avoid these guy .. If you don't want to lose $90 like me . If some one has similar experience please do not hesitate to post here .

Yes I did it and I return the items to the seller but the reason why I posted here you have to return the item in your money . Another reason they just lied to me more than 2 weeks ,if I do these , or if I do that they will refund all my investment with out returning the junks what they ship to me . Of course I lost $40 custom duty to . So all together I lost $95 to get back $126 . The main reason I posted here to WARN the fellow DIY-ers to pay attention on his feed back before they would bid on his items . I never ever met such a liars like these company like these peoples . Please do not pay attention the feedback withdrawal at his fed back record because all that happened they promise if you do that they refund But on the end they just play with you to run out of the 45 day time frame what Pay pal give to return the items on your money to get back some of your investment . The reason honestly only I want to to warn people to be more careful than me . Regards |

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Posted: 11/16/2012 1:00 AM | Comments: 0
TORONTO -- After a lockout spanning almost nine weeks, about the only thing the NHL and NHL Players' Association are talking about is taking a break.
Commissioner Gary Bettman has proposed placing a two-week moratorium on talks after NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr told him he didn't know how the sides could proceed, multiple sources told The Canadian Press on Thursday night.
The offer was made during a phone conversation on Wednesday and didn't produce an answer. According to the sources, Fehr told Bettman he would need to bounce the idea off his membership before responding.
The potential freeze comes with talks already having fallen silent after a busy stretch of meetings last week in New York. However, by the time negotiations broke last Sunday afternoon it was clear pessimism and some bad feelings had made their way into the bargaining room.
Some of the tension can be chalked up to losses that are beginning to mount. On Thursday, players missed their third paycheque of the season while the league moved closer to making another round of game cancellations, prompting some to suggest the entire year could be in danger.
Asked about that possibility on Thursday morning, deputy commissioner Bill Daly replied: "I hope not."
"But I'm more discouraged now than I have been at any point in the process," Daly added.
The NHL is expected to start wiping games beyond Nov. 30 off the schedule early next week. There had previously been hope for a shortened 68-game season starting Dec. 1, but that now appears to be gone.
In total, the lockout has already forced the cancellation of 327 games. The Jan. 27 all-star game at Nationwide Arena in Columbus is also expected to be formally cancelled in the near future.
Earlier this week, NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr indicated he thought a new CBA could be completed quickly once a breakthrough was made in negotiations.
"One thing Bill Daly and I agree upon is that when the moment is right the deal could be done very quickly," Fehr said Monday. "One days, three days or whatever."
Fehr also acknowledged the union and league remained split on three major issues: the division of money, player contract rights and who pays for the damage caused by the lockout.
The lack of progress in talks has started raising fears the NHL might lose another year to a labour dispute. Even though the 2004-05 season was cancelled by Bettman on Feb. 16, it's strongly believed the league wouldn't put the decision off that long if the 2012-13 season was to meet the same fate.

Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.
How are created or simulated gemstones different from natural gemstones? Natural gems are created by the forces of nature and must be discovered, usually by digging in the ground or sifting through a riverbed. When these stones are created in a laboratory, they are called created, simulated or synthetic gemstones.
The purpose of creating gemstones in a laboratory isn't necessarily to reduce the cost, but also to produce larger, more perfectly consistent stones. Created or simulated gems can be made of any material. Synthetic gems, however, share virtually all chemical, optical and physical characteristics of their natural mineral counterparts.
Austrian crystals: These are known for their excellent reflective quality and prismatic brilliance. This man-made crystal is created using natural minerals and quartz sand, which are then heated and slowly cooled using a process similar to that of creating hand-blown glass. This process creates an end product that can be fashioned into a beautiful crystal.
A special machine is used to create a highly faceted crystal. The crystals are cut in various directions, which allows for excellent light refraction, exceptional brilliance and unsurpassed color quality at an affordable price.
Today Swarovski® is one of the largest suppliers of high-end crystals. In the late 1800s, Daniel Swarovski invented a machine to cut crystal with extreme precision. He patented his technique and to this day, only select Swarovski family members and employees have unrestricted access to the production facility that creates these crystals. They are used to decorate everything from stilettos and sculptures, to chandeliers, jewelry and clothing.

The Official Book of Wordoku #3 - Book
Product Information
Type | Sudoku and Others Like It |
Dimensions | 8 1/4 in x 5 1/3 in x 1/3 in / 20.9 cm x 13.6 cm x 0.8 cm |
Product Description
Author: Frank Longo
Here's more fun for wordoku lovers: a third "Official" puzzle collection! And this time, the there's something new: several 10x10 puzzles to go along with the 9x9's and 12x12's. Wordoku follows the same basic principles as sudoku, except that solvers fill the grid with letters. Under each grid, the letters for that puzzle appear, in a pronounceable anagram. Then, just like the original, you arrange them so that every letter appears in every column, every row, and every box just one time. Unlike sudoku, the fun doesn't end there, because the answer to the anagram lies buried inside the grid. But beware: in some cases the anagram actually has more than one possible solution!

Description: Ronix Parks ATR Wakeboard
More speediness and reduced drag makes the Ronix Parks ATR Wakeboard a must-have for your next air popping adventure. Designed with a wide profile rocker, this allows you to have more contact with the open waters providing a longer duration of riding and chargin'' the wake. The tip and tail have variable edges with a more vertical rail that allows for even more lift and quicker response when cutting and pivoting. Take it to the ramps and the Parks ATR Wakeboard will take you the sky.
Key Features of the Ronix Parks ATR Wakeboard:
Wakeboard Binding Compatability
Can accomodate bindings with a 6 inch binding plate found here.
Can only accommodate a single mounting position option for Liquid Force bindings with a 8 inch binding plate and offers two positions for all other vendors found here.
- Center variable edge - a sharper rail and a softer bevel create a controlled accelerated edge transfer with a forgiving bottom design
- Tip/Tail variable edge - an even more vertical rail allows the end of the board to ride higher on the water and prevents the board from burying the edge on big cuts with a sharper bevel for quicker response into a turn
- Thinner profile reduces swing weight
- A clean bottom design - the board lands with more natural forward momentum allowing us to use cleaner bottoms
- Wide profile - with this much surface area we balance it out with more sidecut for the right amount of effective edge in the water
- Glide Speed - puts smiles on riders faces since not very long ago and can cure the common cold
- Monocoque - A wrapped glass from the top to the bottom so the flash line is no longer the weak point of the board - but the strongest
- Parallel Carbon - A livelier construction that also helps maintain the intended rockerline off the peak and landings (available on ATR)
- Sintered Base - The most durable non-stick base material we have ever tested on rails without loosing any glide speed on the water (available on ATR)
- 4 Detachable 1.0" ramp fins
- 4 Slider Fins - A fin actually designed to be sessioned on rails, also for riders that like that finless feel, the wider design creates turbulence giving it a less gratuitous grip on the water (available on ATR)
- Mod Pour - The highest strength to weight ratio we have ever tested - setting the standard of the most refined recipe of foam out there
- Krypto Cable - Combined with our monocoque laminated glass, this cable makes the sidewalls the strongest part of the board - not the weakest
- A collection inspired by the marvels of the Hadron collider
- Parks Bonifay approval - with the largest sweet spot of any signature board he''s ever ridden

i was invited to write an article by jose pedro sousa (www.re-d.com), coordinator of the digital technology section of the portuguese architecture magazine 'arquitectura e vida', for the april issue. entitled 'modularity - a rational approach to complexity' the article focuses on the use of digital technologies and processes in architecture, namely the process of simplifying complex geometries into smaller components facilitating fabrication, transportation, and assembly.
here are the magazine spreads with the english text below.
here are the magazine spreads with the english text below.
Modularity – A Rational Approach to Complexity
The primary focus of my research is modularity, not necessarily in the sense of mass produceable self-similar parts but more in the sense of breaking down complex geometries into identifiable, describable, elements for representation and fabrication. I'm interested in producing seamingly complicated forms with standard contruction methods and non-expensive materials. The research is process driven, it focuses on simplicity and maintaining clear formal gestures.
Scripting provides the ability of automating repetitive functions as well as generating emergent forms by applying explicit logic to the modeling process. There are two methodologies in which scripting can be very useful within design: firstly as an agent for generating modularity of a surface and secondly as an agent for planning modular space. A script is normally composed from a loop, or series of looped functions. For this reason it is important to set limits so as to avoid having a script loop endlessly. With the first methodology the base geometry set's the limit, the script will begin from one corner and work its way [like a printer] across the surface until it reaches the last corner. In planning modular space a boundary needs to be defined. In defining modularity of a surface one begins with a base geometry similarly to the previous examples. In the case of the 'DRL_Ten Pavilion', an alternate proposal experimented with creating a primary structure [using the same method of extracting structural elements from the base geometry] (figura 7a) and applying the fibre-c panels purely as cladding with no structural properties. A generative growth script was used to apply the overlapping flat panels onto the base geometry that varied in length and width depending on the surface curvature (figura 7b). 'Cellular living' was a study in creating a modular residence from a voronoi planar composition. A set of points were plotted to define general cell placements. The script plots a series of cells through the proximity of the points to each other and to the boundary [defined by the required floor plate area] (figura 8a). To avoid having a defined edge [caused by the boundary] the cells were individually edited to animate the exterior line as well as allow for terraces and balconies (figura 8b). The modular residences can be mass-produced [pre-manufactured and assembled on site] as detached single-family homes (Figura 9a & 9b), assembled together to form high-rise towers (Figura 9c) or horizontal residential blocks (Figura 9d).

Teachers' Union Object Of Discrimination Complaint
July 7, 2008 - 8:03 PM
(CNSNews.com) - The National Education Association, one of the nation's largest teachers' unions, is the object of a sexual orientation discrimination complaint.
The Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX), a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting those families whose lives have been affected by homosexuality, filed the complaint Friday with the District of Columbia Office of Human Rights in Washington.
At issue is PFOX's application to the union to lease an exhibit booth at the June 30 NEA Expo in Dallas.
According to its statement, "PFOX explained that it wished to distribute educational materials promoting equal opportunity and an inclusive environment for the ex-gay community."
PFOX claims Carolyn Cruise, from the executive office of the NEA, informed them that a letter would be sent to their organization if the group had been accepted as a distributor.
According to PFOX, the NEA claimed that exhibit booths were limited and the teachers' union only gave priority to applicants who had exhibits in the past.
"We informed Ms. Cruise that our PFOX check for the initial deposit for the booth had already been accepted and cashed by NEA over two months ago," said Regina Griggs, executive director of PFOX.
After speaking with the teachers' union, PFOX anonymously called the NEA exhibit booth contractor, CEPI, Inc., and asked if there were any booth available for the expo.
"CEPI informed us that there were two NEA booths left and we could have one if we paid in full by credit card," Griggs said. "They faxed the NEA application to us with a dated cover sheet on it. Nowhere on the application does it state that booth acceptance is based on prior participation as an NEA exhibitor.
"On the contrary," she said, "the NEA website states that placement for the best booth spaces is assigned on prior participation as an NEA exhibitor and on the date the application is received."
PFOX said it received a letter on June 10 from Thomasine Williams, NEA Conference Coordinator, rejecting its application because the exhibit booth space had been "completely sold out."
"NEA rejected our application on the basis of sexual orientation discrimination, but it is hiding behind a 'sorry, all sold out' excuse," Griggs said. "It seems that NEA has violated its own resolutions against sexual orientation discrimination."
The NEA said Friday it had no comment and would not have any comment until it has studied the complaint, according to spokesperson Kathleen Lyons.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 13,865.04) is up 86 points, or 0.6%, as some upbeat global and domestic economic data has tempered this morning's lackluster quarterly earnings report from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). On the home front, the Labor Department said first-time jobless claims decreased by 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 330,000 last week. This latest figure notched a five-year low, and bested economists' expectations for a drop to just 360,000. Elsewhere, the CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX - 12.60) is 0.1 point, or 1.1%, higher.

POCATELLO — The second go of the 2012 State High School Rodeo went into the books after the morning performance at Bannock County Fairgrounds on Thursday. Local fourth district athletes are fairing quite well halfway into the prestigious event with several in line for shots at state titles. In the bareback event, Skylerr Valentine won the second go with a 74 point ride, giving him 138 on two head. Cooper Clemens was third in the second go with a 69 point ride which puts him at 139 on two head. That along with his carried points give him the overall lead as they headed into the third go on Thursday evening.
BLACKFOOT-The Blackfoot Broncos baseball team showed how Bronco baseball can be played. The Broncos won both of their games when they faced off against the Skyline Grizzlies, Thursday afternoon. In the first game, Cole Mansanerez started off Blackfoot's scoring when he hit a nice triple and sent Zach Later sliding into home plate. The Broncos went on a scoring spree and gained five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.

DATE: Will be calculated from "Release Start Date" field.
CHENNAI, India — Ford India's initiative to provide prototype cars from the pre-build stage to engineering colleges for demonstration and experimental purposes has proven hugely successful. Encouraged by the initial success the program has seen in Tamil Nadu, the company is now gearing up to meet requests for such cars and engines from colleges across India.
Combining the twin goals of recycling and corporate social responsibility, the initiative by Ford India provides pre-build test vehicles to automotive engineering labs at colleges to help students in their educational experiments. To date, Ford has donated 23 cars and two engines to 17 engineering colleges.

No. 5 UK Hoops Faces Mississippi State Thursday
Jan. 16, 2013 LEXINGTON, Ky. - The fifth-ranked Kentucky women's basketball teams looks to keep its overall and home winning streaks intact when it returns to the friendly confines of Memorial Coliseum on Thursday, Jan. 17 against Mississippi State. The game will be carried live on the UK IMG Sports Radio Network with Neil Price at 7 p.m. EST.
Fans can follow the UK Hoops team on Twitter at @UKHoopCats and use #UKHoops to comment on the game. Single-game reserved tickets cost of $9 for all ages. General admission tickets for adults are $8 while single-game general admission tickets for seniors and children (ages 6-18, 65 and over) are only $5. UK faculty, staff and children ages five and under are admitted free in the general admission seating area, while supplies last. "We are awfully excited to be back in Memorial Coliseum tomorrow night," UK Hoops Coach Matthew Mitchell said. "We have had great, energetic crowds. We really appreciate our fans' dedication and loyalty coming out to these games and we'll need another big, energetic crowd tomorrow night because we are playing a very aggressive, tough, hard-nosed, defensive team in Mississippi State. We have a lot of respect for them. They have some really good players so it will be a great challenge tomorrow night. It's really great that we are going to be at home. We are looking forward to getting back into Memorial and seeing if we can earn another victory." Kentucky improved to 16-1 overall, 4-0 in the SEC with a 69-43 win over Missouri on Sunday. It was the Wildcats' pressure defense that sealed the victory and snapped the Tigers' 11-game home winning streak. UK jumped out to a 23-4 lead early in the game and the Tigers would get no closer than nine points the rest of the way. UK held Missouri to 35.3 percent shooting, including just 10.0 percent from beyond the arc. The Tigers, who came into the game leading the nation in 3-pointers made per game with 9.9, were limited to a season-low two 3-pointers. UK also held Missouri's Morgan Eye, the nation's leading 3-point shooter, to just six points and zero treys for the first time this season. Junior center DeNesha Stallworth (Richmond, Calif.) led three players in double-figure scoring with a game-high 17 points, while senior guard A'dia Mathies (Louisville, Ky.) and redshirt sophomore point guard Jennifer O'Neill (Bronx, N.Y.) added 14 and 11 points, respectively. "I have been really pleased with how we have hustled to get to 4-0 in the league," Mitchell. Said. "We couldn't be in a better position than that. What this time of year is all about is trying to take it one game at a time and really put everything you have into the preparation for each and every game and seeing how many victories you can stack up in that win column. They have done a really good job of that. Last week, on Thursday and Sunday, I thought we hustled in both games for 40 minutes. That's something we have asked our players to do, so I am really pleased with that. From game-to-game there are some areas that need to be improved and do things a little bit better, but as a whole, I am really happy with where the team is and they continue to come in each day and practice really hard and I think that's going to be the key for this team." The Wildcats are currently riding a school-record 15-game winning streak which ties Duke for the nation's longest active winning streak. UK's 31-game home winning streak is the longest in school history and ranks No. 2 nationally behind top-ranked Baylor which has won 48 in a row at home. Mississippi State (8-9, 0-4 SEC) travels to the Commonwealth looking for its first SEC win of the season. The Bulldogs have lost to Vanderbilt, No. 15/18 South Carolina, Florida and LSU in their first four league games. Overall, sophomores Kendra Grant and Martha Alwal lead State in scoring, averaging 12.8 and 12.2 points per game, respectively. Alwal, a 6-foot-4 center, also leads the team in rebounding (9.8) and blocks per game (2.4). The Bulldogs top the SEC and rank 18th nationally in blocks per game with 5.4. Alwal is third in the league with 2.4 blocks per game. State's defense has held its last three opponents to under 40 percent shooting from the field. Vic Shaefer is in his first season as head coach at Mississippi State after serving nine seasons as the associate head coach at Texas A&M. The Wildcats' "40 minutes of dread" defense has them leading the nation in turnover margin (+10.3), limiting the opponent to 36.8 percent shooting, including 28.4 percent from beyond the arc, averaging 12.1 steals and 5.4 blocks per game. Overall, Mathies lead the team in scoring, averaging 14.5 points per game. She also has a team-high tying 37 assists and 35 treys. She currently ranks in the top 10 of 12 career lists at UK, including No. 4 in scoring (1,682) and third in steals (279). Junior forward Samarie Walker (West Carrollton, Ohio) and Stallworth lead the way on the boards, averaging 8.5 and 6.0 rebounds per game, respectively. Thursday marks the 39th meeting between Kentucky and Mississippi State. UK is 21-17 all-time vs. Coach Mitchell's alma mater, including a 9-8 advantage when playing in Lexington. The Wildcats have won the last five meetings against State, including an 88-40 win last year in Memorial Coliseum, the largest margin of victory against an SEC opponent in school history. MSU's last win in Lexington was Jan. 18, 2009 (52-45). This is "We Back Pat" week in the SEC. During the week of January 13-20, SEC member institutions will support the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund during their home basketball games. During the week, various efforts will be made to increase awareness of the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund. UK's "We Back Pat" game is Jan. 20 vs. Auburn.

She's Not An Extra
Just got a sweet gig on an exploratory space ship? Let's hope you're not the new guy and gal on the away mission. Let them know that you're Not an Extra with a set of matching his and hers crew sweaters. Both sweaters have a coordinated two-tone color combination for that clean, fleet uniform look without looking like you're straight out of Academy. Stand-up v-shaped collars and an easy fit make these a comfortable, fun choice for everyday wear. The ladies version has waist shaping and three-quarter length sleeves.

Not sure about the fold width decreasing towards the front, but there is a good reason for having the fold width increase towards the front. When I built a set of replacement bellows for a half plate mahogany folding camera I picked up cheaply, I wasn't sure if my new bellows would compress enough to fit into the space available when the camera was folded. When I followed the dimensions of the old bellows, with fold width increasing towards the front, I found that the bellows actually folded into itself, and assumed a total thickness that was less than the thickness of the material multiplied by the number of folds.
Clever people those old camera makers!

Polis Report
By Will Harper
While perusing the state's catalog of unclaimed property at the Sunnyvale Public Library, busybody South Bay resident James Downer discovered $119 belonging to none other than, you guessed it: the Sunnyvale Public Library. In fact, the $119 lay unclaimed for nearly 20 years.
As it turns out, the library is one of about five million names listed in the state's unclaimed property account, which is holding no less than $2 billion in assets, waiting to be claimed. Money goes into the holding account when, for example, someone moves and never collects a rental deposit, a stock dividend or interest from a forgotten savings account. State law requires a financial institution to make a "reasonable" effort--which consists of mailing a single letter to the last known address of the person or company owed--to find the rightful property owner within three years. After that the money is relinquished to the state, which keeps it until it's claimed, which, more often than not, is never. About 450,000 accounts worth $250 million get turned over to the state each year--of that, about $80 million is returned.
But Downer wondered: How could anyone not find the Sunnyvale Public Library, which has been at its present location since 1960? Officials aren't exactly sure. A representative from the state controller's office says it's not uncommon to find unclaimed assets belonging to all kinds of entities including public ones. (The Sunnyvale School District has $335 that's been waiting to be claimed for 22 years, records show.) The state, by the way, has no obligation to look for property owners. Treasure-hunters and city bureaucrats instead must pore over unclaimed account inventories kept on microfiche at their local public library or call the controller's toll-free hotline at (800) 992-4647.

New York City has passed a day without a single report of a person being shot, stabbed or subject to other sorts of violent crime for the first time in recent memory.
The rare day occurred on Monday (local time), near the end of a year when the city's murder rate is on target to hit its lowest point since 1960, according to New York Police Department chief spokesman Paul Browne.
Browne said it was "first time in memory" the city's police force had experienced such a peaceful day.
While crime is up 3 percent overall, including a 9 percent surge in grand larceny police attribute to a rash of smart phone thefts, murder is down 23 percent over last year, the NYPD said.
As for a day without violent crime, experts said they could not recall that happening in recent memory.
"In a city of 8 million people, this is extremely rare," said Tom Repetto, author of American Police, 1949-2012.
There have been 366 murders in the city so far this year, compared with 472 at this time last year, according to the NYPD.
By comparison, Chicago, Illinois, a city of about 2,707,000 people that has been plagued by gang violence in 2012, has registered 462 murders so far this year, according to the Chicago Police Department.
In Philadelphia, a city of about 1,536,000 people, there have been 301 murders so far this year, the exact same number as this time last year, the Philadelphia Police Department reports.
Repetto attributed New York's success to "proactive" police department tactics, including its controversial stop and frisk policy.
While critics have charged that the dramatic increase in stops hasn't led to a similar rise in gun seizures, police officials have countered that proactive tactics have made criminals think twice about taking their guns out on the street.

Angelina Jolie and Darren Aronofsky To Adapt Ron Rash's Serena: A Novel for the Big Screen 2010-03-01 11:00:25
Angelina Jolie Has Blood on Her Hands
The story follows George and Serena Pemberton, a husband and wife who move from Boston to North Carolina for the timber business in 1929. Serena quickly proves to be one of the boys, but this is not your run-of-the-mill pioneer story — think of her more as a female counterpart to There Will Be Blood's Daniel Plainview. Serena's tenacity has a menacing side, as she offs anyone who doesn't fall into line with her. Things go particularly awry when she finds out that can't bear children and sets out to kill her husband's illegitimate son in retaliation. Darren Aronofsky of The Wrestler is looking to direct the drama.
Sounds like the makings of an Oscar vehicle for Jolie, though there is one thing that could trip her up: that Boston turned Southern accent. Yikes. Bring on the vocal coach!
Have you read Serena? Do you think Jolie has the chops to pull off the role?

Divers spotted human remains Thursday near Italy's Costa Concordia cruise ship and DNA tests will determine if they are the last two bodies missing among the shipwreck's 32 victims, authorities said.
The search for the remains of an Italian female passenger and an Indian waiter resumed after the capsized luxury liner was rotated upright last week in an unprecedented marine salvage operation 20 months after it crashed into a reef off Giglio Island.
Civil Protection chief Franco Gabrielli told reporters he had immediately notified the victims' relatives, who had traveled to the island in hopes their loved ones' remains could be found.
Coast Guard and Customs Service divers located the remains near the central part of the ship, where survivors had said the two were last seen.
Specialized police divers were going into the sea to remove the remains, which will be examined by forensic experts on the mainland in Tuscany. DNA testing could take a few days, authorities said.
The side of the ship where the remains were found is badly smashed in after lying submerged since it capsized on Jan. 13, 2012.
"No one knew exactly how much damage had been done to the hull over the last 20 months," chief salvage master Nick Sloane told CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips last week. "She has been flexing on the seaway for 20 months, and you never know when it's going to fatigue."
Experts plan to go inside the ship, retrieve some of the Concordia's computers, and try to determine why backup generators and some other equipment failed to work immediately after the collision.
The ship will remain in its current position until an evaluation is carried out of the condition of its starboard side and a decision is taken as to what further needs to be done before it can be refloated, CBS News' Sabina Castelfranco reports. Authorities say the earliest it will leave the island is May of 2014.
The Concordia's captain, Francesco Schettino, is on trial for alleged manslaughter, causing the shipwreck and abandoning ship during a confused and delayed evacuation. Prosecutors contend he deliberately went off the route, bringing the ship too close to Giglio's rocky coastline at night. The captain, who risks 20 years in prison, contends that the reef wasn't on the ship's nautical charts.
In separate proceedings, five other employees of the Italian cruise company, Costa Concordia SpA, were allowed to make plea bargains in exchange for lenient sentences. But a Florence prosecutor this week challenged those sentences, and Italy's highest criminal court will eventually rule on that.

Lewandowski fires Dortmund to win
Robert Lewandowski moved to the top of the scoring charts with two penalties securing Borussia Dortmund a 3-1 win at Mainz.
Pierre Aubameyang put the visitors in front in the 70th minute, but Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting soon levelled for the hosts, who had been unlucky to fall behind.
Their fortune then took another turn for the worse when Elkin Soto kept Lewandowski's goalbound shot out with his hand, earning a red card before the Pole converted.
Lewandowski then scored again from the spot to clinch the victory with his 10th goal of the campaign.
Heung-Min Son scored twice as Bayer Leverkusen bounced back from their midweek defeat in the Champions League to maintain their pursuit of Bayern Munich with a 3-0 win over winless Nurnberg.
Son scored the first and the last of the goals at the BayArena with Stefan Kiessling also on target with his ninth of the season.
The result leaves Leverkusen four points behind Bayern at the top of the table while Nurnberg remain in a share of bottom spot, three points adrift of safety.
Philipp Bargfrede scored in stoppage time as Werder Bremen twice fought back from a two-goal deficit to secure a 4-4 draw at Hoffenheim.
Sejad Sehovic scored penalties in the 12th and 18th minutes to give Hoffenheim a 2-0 lead, but Bremen went in at half-time level after Aaron Hunt converted a 45th-minute penalty and then Eljero Elia equalised in stoppage time.
Kevin Volland got Hoffenheim ahead in the 49th minute and Kai Herdling made it 4-2 after 53 minutes, but Nils Petersen cut the deficit to 4-3 in the 59th minute and then Bargfrede had the final dramatic word at the death.
Hertha Berlin and Augsburg split the spoils in a goalless draw that lacked any real highlights.
Wolfsburg were fortunate to escape with a point having been outplayed by northern German rivals Hamburg in Friday's clash.
Hakan Calhanoglu gave Hamburg the lead in the 20th minute before Ricardo Rodriguez equalised from the spot in the 31st minute for the hosts.
Hamburg should have snatched the points in the closing stages but were somehow held at bay, Ivo Ilicevic shooting against the woodwork in the 86th minute as their best chance went begging.
Wolfsburg extended their undefeated streak to seven matches and jumped to 23 points while Hamburg, who have collected just one victory in the last four matches, improved to 16 points.
