Mason Stone ready to test his talent vs. state's best
After East-West All-State game, Terrace High alum will next play football for the University of Idaho
Last Wednesday, the senior safety and star on the Mountlake Terrace football team for three seasons graduated from high school. The next day he signed an NCAA National Letter of Intent to play football at the University of Idaho. Today, he is in Moses Lake along with many of the best high school football players in Washington preparing for the 49th annual East-West All-State football game.
The game is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday at Lions Field.
It's the first time the game has been held in Moses Lake, and just its fourth location ever. It has been held in Spokane three times, once in the Tri-Cities and the rest have been played at Everett Memorial Stadium.
Stone joins 15 other locals playing in the game, as well as Lake Stevens head coach Tom Tri, who will lead the West squad.
Stone began his high school football career at Archbishop Murphy, but something didn't feel right.
"I grew up in public school pretty much my whole life," Stone said. "It was just a stretch. I worked hard and everything, but I just thought I would be able to excel more at a public school because it was just the speed I had grown up with and been used to."
He didn't see much playing time with the Wildcats, breaking his leg in an early-season game. Rather than stick it out in a place where he wasn't happy, Stone opted for a new beginning, and transferred to Mountlake Terrace.
Terrace head coach Tony Umayum was happy to welcome Stone, who jumped into the Hawks' starting lineup in the defensive backfield as a sophomore and made the All-Wesco team on his way to becoming the school's all-time leader in interceptions.
"Mason is probably as impactful of a young transfer as you're going to get," Umayum said. "It was a pretty nice boost to our program, which had graduated a pretty nice senior class the year before he showed up -- (a class that) took us to the playoffs. Then he shows up as a transfer from Archbishop Murphy and steps right in his sophomore season."
Stone hopes to have the same kind of impact with the Vandals -- but it won't come next season. He has been forced to greyshirt his freshman season because he wasn't among the first 25 recruits in his class to sign. Under NCAA rules, Stone can train, but not practice with the team or play in games. He does, however, maintain his year of eligibility and the ability to redshirt in another year if he and the Vandals so choose.
"I think it is actually more to my advantage to build up and train before I step on the field," he said. "I get to see what the other guys my age are going through and the struggles they're having and I can use that to my advantage. And I can ease into school without having to be playing in games. I can just learn from everybody else and see where they are struggling and make sure I don't struggle with that same stuff."
His high school coach agreed.
"Actually, I think it is really going to help him," Umayum said. "The fact that he will be able to get acclimated to college life and school and be able to work out and hopefully gain some weight and still have his four years of eligibility, I see him someday really helping out."

In a perfect world you'd be able to grace your bike with a set of wheels that are lightweight, aerodynamic, stiff, easy to maintain, and can stop on a dime. Well, we may not live in a perfect world, but that doesn't mean you can't have the perfect wheel. Mavic has brought us the Cosmic Carbone 40 which utilizes TgMAX (Maximum Glass Transition Temperature) technology to provide consistent and efficient braking no matter the conditions. TgMAX consist of laying up several types of technological resins, then fixing them using a proprietary heat treatment process to achieve the highest possible resistance to braking heat. The TgMAX technology paired with the aluminum channel in the center which dissipates heat, offer a wheel with the best stopping power ever produced by Mavic.
You might be wondering why we've talked up the stopping power before we've mentioned anything else. That's because these wheels are fast, meaning optimal braking performance is vital! The Cosmic Carbone gets its speed from the 40mm wind tunnel optimized profile, extra light carbon rims fitted with 190g Yksion Pro clincher tire, and carbon/alloy hubs with aero flanges that slice through the wind for unrivaled aerodynamics. Now, it isn't uncommon for deeper profiled carbon wheels which excel in aerodynamics, to compromise on weight. This is not the case with the Cosmic Carbon 40, as it weighs in at only 1545 grams for the set.
And what would a carbon wheel be if we didn't talk about its stiff properties. Aside from the carbon profile and hubs, the Cosmic Carbon 40 includes fore drilling and integrated nipples, not only keeping everything else stiff, but making maintenance simple. Did we mention the Cosmic Carbon comes as a Wheel/ Tire system, meaning it comes with Yksion Pro Griplink tire up front and a Powerlink tire out back, which work in sync with the wheel build to provide optimum cornering confidence, speed and durability. Whether you're all about testing your grit at the weekend crit, leaving the opposition in the pain cave on climbs, or pushing your endurance to the limit on a long distance adventure, the Mavic Cosmic Carbon is the most versatile aero wheel. Not to mention, it is one damn good-looking wheel!

Comments about Mavic Cosmic Carbone 40 C Wheelset 2015:
Pros: Right away I noticed improvements in my speed when riding into the wind, and on flat roads in general. As these are a deep 40, I was worried about being tossed around by side winds. However, that was not the case. These bad boys gobbled up road vibration offering a controled, comfortable ride. Mavic's wheel-tire system works seamlessly to provide exceptional cornering grip and confidence. Lastly, the required yellow Mavic Swiss Stop brake pads had me stopping on a dime.
Cons: These felt a little heavier than expected, limiting it's climbing capabilities. As an Avid cyclist who doesn't race much, I'd take a friendlier priced set of lightweight climbing wheels over these.

Comments about Mavic Cosmic Carbone 40 C Wheelset 2015:
Mavic. Yellow cars, yellow logo, yellow shoes, yellow wheels, #becausefrance. One of the most storied brands in cycling. Coincidentally, one of the most behind-the-curve brands when it comes to wheel tech, too.
However, if Mavic marketing material is to be believed, the Carbone 40 is their opening salvo for a new generation of wheels, aimed squarely at competitors like Zipp, Reynolds, ENVE, and Easton. Do they measure up? Well, kind of. The Carbones LOOK incredible. You'll receive all kinds of compliments on them. They're, in a word, stunning. They tip the scales at a reasonable weight, and the depth is in the realm of plausible. They even include Hutchinson-made tires that put the previous included rubber from Mavic to shame, actually measuring to 23mm and with durability to match. The stiffness under acceleration is quite adequate, and there's no mushy feelings leaning them into corners or throwing them from side to side on a hill.
That said, the Carbone 40s aren't for everyone. I have three gripes, first being the sharp NACA rim profile that has been around since the 90s. While it performs well in some situations, in most it's effectively a sail. After a few years riding more modern rim shapes, I was surprised to find myself wrestling a relatively shallow wheel around on descents and the flats. They were worse-behaved than the deeper MadFibers I've ridden before. Second, the braking performance was less than stellar, especially with the stock yellow pads (which were prone to howling). I swapped them out for a set of Reynolds' new cryo-blue stoppers to find performance improved, but still waffling between mediocre and poor. My third complaint is the 19mm rim profile. Weren't narrow rims and piddly tire profiles something we left behind in 2007? Unfortunately, Mavic has yet to get the memo, and you'll find your ride quality will suffer because of it.
Like the previous reviewer, I've ridden pretty much everything out there, and all in all, the Mavics are a competent offering, but not stellar. And at the end of the day, we have to face the fact that carbon clinchers exist for almost no other reason than they look fiercely good and sound cool.

Comments about Mavic Cosmic Carbone 40 C Wheelset 2015:
These wheels are simply brilliant, I have ridden them all zipp, enve, Reynolds, Corima, campy and these immediately stood out in ride quality and braking performance. These are my new go to wheels! I hope a wide version is in the works in France, even if it's not I would take these over the competition any day.

Simple Yet Great Quality
We were looking for something on the simpler side for our invitations. This one caught our eye. It was easy to personalize, and we were given a lot of options in order to really make it ours. The quality is very good. Not flimsy or delicate. Certainly not tacky. They come in a really nice, simple box and are packed very well. You WILL require additional postage (two forever stamps for just the invitation, no inserts) as it is larger than most mailings. We were informed by the post office that because it is slightly larger than most square cards, it has to be sorted differently. Either way, definitely worth the extra stamp. We would certainly recommend this site and this invitation to others. Suggestion: If you are ordering more than the invitations, order the invitations first because you will then get additional offers for money off of your next purchases - through email and inserts in the invitation box.
Excellent Quality Excellent Purchase
Love the invitations! The design is lovely and the quality is great. Love the whole package! thank you :)
Every is more beautiful than I could imagine ! Thank you very much.
Light House invitation
Loved them! The pearl paper is beautiful. Perfect for water setting venue.
I ordered these in the smallest size, which was still a lot smaller than I anticipated. Came out exactly how it looks. Shipping took a while, but that is because I shipped to Alaska. Oddly, the box didn't come with a receipt or anything, just a "book" of suggestions for wedding invitations, etc. Great for our ocean-front wedding in Maine.

After scaling the mountain, the Bruins will try to stay at the top but they will face the difficult challenge of repeating as champions. The task is such that no team has turned that trick since 1998 when the Detroit Red Wings finished off back-to-back titles.
Ironically, it is the Red Wings that came closest in 2009 when they lost Game 7 of the Cup finals to the Pittsburgh Penguins at home. The Bruins will have their share of other Eastern contenders looking to knock them from their perch.
Is this the year that Washington finally breaks through after years of unfulfilled promise? Will a reinvigorated Buffalo squad make a push along with usual suspects like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh? The Register takes an educated stab at how the Eastern Conference will shake out. (Click on the PHOTO to view a slideshow).
2010-11 record: 48-23-11 (107 points)
Conference finish: First (won Southeast Division)
Postseason results: Defeated N.Y. Rangers, 4-1, in quarterfinals; lost to Tampa Bay, 4-0, in semifinals
Key additions: LW Troy Brouwer, C Jeff Halpern, RW Joel Ward, G Tomas Vokoun, D Roman Hamrlik
Key departures: G Semyon Varlamov, LW Marco Sturm, C Jason Arnott, C Boyd Gordon, RW Andrew Gordon, RW Eric Fehr, RW Matt Bradley
Outlook: An all-offensive approach only resulted in early playoff exits so coach Bruce Boudreau adjusted and had the Caps focus more on defense. No change there but Vokoun is a proven No. 1 goalie anxious to play for a winner. Brouwer and Ward should provide grit and secondary scoring but Alex Ovechkin, Mike Green, Nicklas Backstrom and Alexander Semin need to bounce back. They will still be judged by their performance in the spring but they're plenty good enough to rack up a lot of points playing in the lackluster Southeast, which will earn them the conference's top seed.
2010-11 record: 46-25-11 (103 points)
Conference finish: Third (won Northeast Division)
Postseason results: Defeated Montreal, 4-3, in quarterfinals; defeated Philadelphia, 4-0, in semifinals; defeated Tampa Bay, 4-3, in conference finals; defeated Vancouver, 4-3, in Stanley Cup finals
Key additions: LW Benoit Pouliot, D Joe Corvo
Key departures: D Tomas Kaberle, RW Mark Recchi, D Shane Hnidy, RW Michael Ryder
Outlook: The Stanley Cup champions are virtually intact from last season, switching out Kaberle for Corvo while losing Recchi to retirement and Ryder as a free agent. One wonders if two-time Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thomas will approach his magical 2010-11 season but Chara and Dennis Seidenberg head an underrated defense corps in front of him. The Bruins have a lot of contributors and Tyler Seguin should be poised for a breakthrough after being eased into his rookie season but the Cup hangover is real and they'll have to deal with that.

It was an idyllic Friday night in New Albany. The skies were clear, the stars bright and the temperature comfortable.
The parking lot was full, the concession stand was humming with activity, the stands were packed and several hundred fans were standing along the fence.
The scene was perfect.
When The Pride of New Albany Band struck up the school fight song and the team ran onto the field from the new inflatable tunnel, it was a thrilling sight.
Minutes later the Bulldogs kicked off and the opening regular season game against the Boonville Blue Devils and their legendary coach Jim Drewry was under way.
It was a thrill a minute from the lightening fast touchdowns in the opening quarter to the suspense-filled closing seconds when New Albany was driving to try to tie the score, but ran out of time. What a game!
The students on the field, the coaches and band instructors had done their job. They had worked hard to present a great evening of football and music.
But what about the rest of us? Did we do ours?
We were disappointed to find the stands beginning to empty early in the second half. By the time the game was decided, a few seconds before the closing horn, the bleachers were half empty.
High school kids in the band and on the field playing their hearts out deserve our cheers from the beginning to the end.
We can do better than this.

Prep softball: Big inning boosts Snohomish over Monroe
Panthers score seven in third inning, win softball game 11-0
It all changed in the third inning.
The Panthers turned five hits, two walks, a hit batter and three Monroe errors into a seven-run inning, and it was all the offense they needed -- and then some. Snohomish tacked on a single run in the fourth and three more in the sixth for an 11-0 Wesco 4A North victory over the Bearcats on a drippy day at Sky River Park.
The six-inning (10-run rule) win keeps the Panthers unbeaten through five games in the young season.
Before the first pitch, Snohomish coach Lou Kennedy said, "I figured we'd be looking at maybe a 5-3 game, and it could go either way. But today was outstanding for us, so I'm pretty happy."
Every player in the Panthers' starting lineup scored at least once and got on base at least twice. The top three players in the batting order -- center fielder Trysten Melhart, shortstop Jennie Winston and third baseman Katlyn Purvis -- all reached base four times with a combined six hits, five walks and a hit by pitch.
Melhart had the game's biggest hit, a bases-clearing triple to cap the team's seven-run third.
According to Winston, prolific offense is nothing new for the Panthers. Snohomish has scored in double digits in all of their five games this season, so "we can definitely put up some runs," she said.
For the Bearcats, meanwhile, it was an obviously sobering outcome. "It hurts to get spanked like that," said Monroe coach Curt Eskeback.
Snohomish starting pitcher Bailey Seek, a junior who has already committed to Weber State University, checked the Bearcats on four hits while striking out five and walking just one. She faced just three hitters over the minimum.
Seek was never in serious trouble, though twice her defense helped end potential Monroe rallies. The Panthers turned two double plays and Purvis, another junior, was responsible for both.
In the second inning, Purvis made a running shoestring catch of a Monroe bunt attempt and followed with a strong throw to first base to double off the runner. Two innings later, with one out and Monroe runners at second and third, she snagged a sharp line drive and won a footrace to third base for an unassisted double play.
"Katlyn's a Hoover (vacuum cleaner)," Kennedy said with a smile. "She's been All-Wesco two years in a row and she's got the fastest hands you'll ever find. I can't hit the ball by her in practice. She's amazing."
For the Panthers, Wednesday's decision was a bit of payback for last season, when Monroe handed them a painful loss at the district tournament. Snohomish would later lose another game and come up short of the 2012 state tournament, which is something the team's veteran players have yet to forget.
Heading into Wednesday's game, "we definitely wanted to get a little bit of revenge," Winston said. "We wanted to win this game by a lot."
Having watched his team open the season with five straight wins -- and pummel all five opponents -- Kennedy is optimistic about the Panthers' prospects.
"Without a doubt, this is the best team I've had in nine years (as head coach)," he said. "We have depth in pitching with three kids that can throw. We have multiple kids that can play extra positions ? so our (overall) depth is amazing. We have kids who are subs for us that would start on most teams.
"So for us, the sky's the limit," he said. "We think big and now we'll see."
And for the Bearcats, there will surely be better days.
"I've said it before, you have to compete," Eskeback said. "If the other team gets ahead, you have to battle back and (overcome) adversity. So there's not much you can say except that we just have to come out and practice harder (today)."
At Sky River Park
Snohomish 007 103 --11 12 1
Monroe 000 000 --0 4 5
Seek and Greenlee; Egan and Delmare. WP--Seek. LP--Egan. 2B--Seek (S), Goodwin (S), Pisac (S), Johnson (M). 3B--Melhart (S), Pisac (S). Records--Snohomish is 1-0 in league, 5-0 overall; Monroe is 0-1, 2-5.

France coach Philippe Saint-André has avoided making changes following the postponed Six Nations match against Ireland.
Saint-André said it was only fair to give the starting XV that was selected to play Ireland a chance, even though Scotland will not demand as much of the French as the Irish may have.
'Nobody has done badly. Everyone is having a good preparation,' he told the media. 'We decided to keep the same team even though we must coach them differently.
'Scotland play well, keeping the ball a lot and having a lot of creativity. It will be a big test for us.'

TomTom has done it again!

TomTom has done it again!
The TomTom GO 910 again becomes a T3 test winner in a comparitive test with several sat-navs. T3 is very pleased with the new TomTom GO910: 'TomToms have always been userfriendly, but this takes it even further with just one hard control – a power button. The four-inch widescreen oozes detail, with clear menus just a finger prod away. It's packed with features, from multiple voices to a built-in MP3 player.' But besides this, the TomTom GO 910 is also performing well on his core feature navigation: '…route calculation is also faster than average. Guidance is best on test, with intuitive maps and even side roads being described by name.' T3's overall conclusion: 'This is a top navigator…TomTom has done it again. Navigation has never looked so good – and now it's in widescreen!'

Indiana University's Kelley School of Business Uses Integer Programming to Form Equitable, Cohesive Student Groups
2007, Interfaces
R. Cutshall, S. Gavirneni, K. Schultz
We used integer programming to form student teams for case studies in the integrated core courses at Indiana University. The previous assignment method achieved academic balance but was time consuming and limited. We developed and implemented an integer-programming-based computerized method for forming teams. It achieves equity in team members' academic performance, functional diversity, and demographic balance. Students perceived the system as fairer than the previous method, and it forms teams of students that work better together. Students complain less about other team members, and the students and the instructors report improvement in their experience. Indiana University's Kelley School of Business has adopted the integer-programming method for forming the teams for its I-core group of four courses.

Most Reported 2003 Chevrolet Express 1500 Problem Reports
One or more fuel injectors may become stuck closed causing an engine misfire and the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Our technicians tell us that this problem can be caused by some fuel additives. There are special procedures which may be able to restore the affected injector. If this fails the affected injector must be replaced.
The tail light wiring harness in the cargo area is not protected very well. As a result it may become damaged due to normal wear a tear. This damage can causing some or all of the rear lights to stop working.
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
One or both secondary air injection check valves may become restricted causing poor air flow resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light. It is often recommend to replace both check valves even if a fault code is set for only one bank of cylinders. Replacing only one valve may result in a return trip to the repair shop.

Trenary takes oath as sheriff
Dan Bates / The Herald Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Michael Downes swears in the new Snohomish County sheriff, Ty Trenary, on Monday in a crowded hearing room in the Robert J. Drewel Building in Everett.
Members of the Snohomish County Sheriff's Department Color Guard prepare Ty Trenary to be sworn in Monday.

Dan Bates / The Herald A full house applauds following a brief speech from the new Snohomish County sheriff, Ty Trenary, on Monday.
Dan Bates / The Herald Following a brief speech, the new Snohomish County sheriff, Ty Trenary, manages a wink and a smile Monday in the crowded hearing room.
During a swearing-in ceremony Monday, the new sheriff called for cooperation with the public, other leaders and his staff.
"I will earn your faith and earn your trust and we will get things accomplished," Trenary said.
Trenary pointed to the arrest of a suspect in the June 1 killing of 15-year-old Molly Conley in Lake Stevens as an example of the important work his office is called on to perform.
"Our people will not rest until justice is served," he said.
Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Michael Downes administered the oath of office to Trenary around 1 p.m. at a packed ceremony at the county campus.
Changes within the command staff are already in place.
They include naming Brent Speyer as the new undersheriff. Speyer served most recently as a lieutenant overseeing investigations, including the Conley shooting probe.
Former Undersheriff Tom Davis will serve as a captain overseeing special operations.
Trenary has worked in law enforcement for more than 25 years and for Snohomish County since 1991. Until becoming sheriff, he had been the captain of the sheriff's office north precinct. From 2008 to 2012, he was the police chief for Stanwood, which contracts with the county for police services.
Trenary's past positions have included working as a sheriff's office training manager and patrol supervisor. He's a former leader of the union that represents sheriff's deputies.
Several area police chiefs have long known Trenary and look forward to his tenure.
"His hallmark is that he's a people person," Edmonds Police Chief Al Compaan said.
"He's great with his troops, he's great with other law enforcement agencies in the county and he's great with the community."
Everett Police Chief Kathy Atwood, who has known Trenary for more than 20 years, expects to continue the close working relationship between Everett police and county deputies.
"Our guys do work really well together," Atwood said.
The sheriff's job became vacant June 3 when John Lovick resigned to accept the position of county executive.
The County Council on July 1 voted 5-0 to appoint Trenary as sheriff. The swearing-in ceremony was postponed a week because Trenary was out of town on a trip planned last year.
Council Chairwoman Stephanie Wright said she was impressed with Trenary's knowledge of the county budget and his experience with municipal issues in Stanwood.
"It really is a county team, especially when it comes to the budget," she said.
Trenary, 47, of Stanwood, is married to Vicki Trenary, an elementary school teacher in the Marysville School District. They have lived in Snohomish County for more than 20 years and have two daughters.
The sheriff is responsible for law enforcement in unincorporated Snohomish County. The office provides that service under contract in several communities, including Snohomish, Stanwood and Sultan. The sheriff's office also runs the county jail.
Combined, those operations have a staff of about 700 and an annual budget upwards of $100 million.
A citizens commission has set the sheriff's annual pay at about $123,000, which is less than what many of the department's top brass earn.
Voters will cast ballots in a 2014 special election to determine who serves out the remaining year left on the sheriff's term. A regular election for the four-year term is scheduled in 2015. The post is nonpartisan.
Trenary plans to run in those elections. So does sheriff's detective Sgt. Jim Upton, the other sheriff candidate interviewed by the County Council.

Navy details two rounds of budget cutbacks for 2013
Wednesday - 1/30/2013, 5:14am EST
In line with Pentagon directives earlier this month to plan for a year of "budgetary uncertainty," the Navy has drawn up a two-tiered plan to immediately reduce its rate of spending in case there's a multibillion dollar mismatch between what it's currently spending and what it has available in its operating accounts for the current year.
A mismatch of some kind appears increasingly likely. The Navy has so far been spending money in its operation and maintenance accounts under the assumption that Congress would eventually pass a DoD budget for the fiscal year which began last October, and that lawmakers would find a way to undo the punitive budget cuts they created for themselves under the sequestration process, which would slice each Defense project and program by 9 percent in order to reduce the nation's deficit.
Adm. Jonathan Greenert, Chief of Naval Operations
But four months into fiscal 2013, neither of those assumptions has proved correct, and the Navy says it is responding by doing everything it can to slow the rate at which cash churns through its operations and maintenance budget.
For example, any hiring of new civilian employees is prohibited except under exceptional circumstances. The Navy has already begun canceling all ship and aircraft maintenance that was supposed to happen between April and September of this year. In addition, training activities for sailors must be canceled unless they're about to deploy, and the Navy will cut back its spending on information technology in 2013 by 25 percent.
The IT cut is effective immediately, and is in addition to the service's previous commitment to reduce its technology expenditures by 25 percent between 2011 and 2016, a Navy official said.
The cuts "may be reversed if Congress passes a FY13 appropriations bill or grants Navy permission to reprogram funds from investment accounts to (operations and maintenance)," Adm. Jonathan Greenert, the Chief of Naval Operations told commanders in a Jan 25 memo. "However, failure to reduce our current obligation rates is not an option."
While the first set of cuts in effect now is undesirable for the Navy, they've been chosen in such a way that they could be reversed with minimal long-term damage if Congress and the White House figure out a way to cancel sequestration and pass a budget, officials said. The Navy has reserved the most potentially damaging actions for its second tranche of spending cutbacks, referred to as "Tier Bravo" in Navy planning documents.
"A lot of that is in the planning phase, because we don't really know if sequestration is going to happen. But we have to be ready to pull that trigger in March if it happens," Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Navy's chief of information, said in an interview with Federal News Radio.
Under sequestration, Navy civilian workers would face furloughs
If the trigger is pulled, the Navy would take additional actions. For example, every civilian would be furloughed for 22 days without pay. The service's plans also include canceling deployments of fast attack submarines, cutting out tuition assistance for sailors, cutting back flying hours from carriers in the Middle East by more than half and stopping all stateside training operations that "do not support pre-deployment training."
Rear Adm. John Kirby, chief of information, Navy
"The biggest impacts would be to forces who are not deployed right now but who are next to deploy, in terms of making sure they're ready to go," Kirby said. "It would also affect forward-deployed operations. For instance, we'd have to cancel naval operations in and around South America. Any deployments to Europe that aren't directly related to ballistic missile defense, those would be canceled. It would also reduce our steaming and flying hours, even in the Middle East. You might still have assets there, but they're not going to be operating at the same operational tempo they are right now."
Kirby said the Navy's cost-cutting decisions were centered around the idea that limited O&M dollars should focus on sailors who are serving aboard ships at the moment, that those forces should be ready to fight and that their replacements should be ready too.
"That's really the goal. Everything is geared to preserving forward-deployed readiness," he said. "But what that means is that some non-deployed readiness is going to get pushed to the right. What does that do? It makes in harder in 2014 to preserve readiness. Those ships were supposed to get fixed aren't going to be able to deploy when they we're supposed to. Those exercises that didn't get done haven't been performed. We'll have forces on station, but they won't be quite as ready or quite as capable as what we have right now."

HIGHLAND PARK, Texas The first episode of Larry Hagman's final season of Dallas will be broadcast on Monday.
But on Sunday night, some loyal fans got a sneak peak at the new season at the Village Theater in Highland Park. The event also served as a fundraiser for the Larry Hagman Foundation.
No spoilers here: We're sworn to secrecy about any details concerning J.R. Ewing's demise on the show as a result of Larry Hagman's death back in November.
Dallas native Josh Henderson plays J.R.'s son John Ross Ewing on the show. He said Hagman lives on through the series.
It's been tough, Henderson said. Larry's the heart of the show.
It was way back in 1980 when the question hanging in the air was: Who shot J.R.? Larry Hagman's Texas swagger, sly smirk, and womanizing ways were known to millions.
But the second season of the series' TNT reboot is even more of a cliffhanger for fans after Hagman 's death last year. They are left to wonder what will become of J.R. and his legacy.
Henderson said he and Hagman forged a special bond. I really got to know him well, and I loved him as a man... but also loved him as an actor and as an artist, he said.
Henderson said as long as Dallas the original or its second incarnation is on a TV screen somewhere, people will always remember J.R. Ewing and the man who brought his character to life.
He knows that as long as 'Dallas' is on the air, his spirit is living through us, and J.R. will always be talked about, Henderson said.
Highland Park Village presented a check to the Larry Hagman Foundation for $500 at Sunday night's event, and additional donations were collected at the door. The foundation promotes creative arts education for economically disadvantaged children in North Texas.

I asked for wheelchair assistance at 4 locations on my itinerary and said I didn't need it in Tucson. They had it waiting for me in Tucson where I didn't need it and neglected my request in Dallas where it was sorely needed. If I had been totally immobile I would have missed my connecting flights and been stranded. As it was, I had to push myself to the point of significant pain to get to the appropriate gate.
I think it's pathetic that American offers NO complimentary snack w/ their beverage service.

NEW ORLEANS -- Stepped-up security measures are hard to miss as you travel through downtown New Orleans into the French Quarter.
There are uniformed officers on just about every corner.
'We started our full Super Bowl deployment at 7 p.m. (Wednesday) morning,' said New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Ronal Serpas.
A not so small army of federal and state agents are also on duty in and around the Super Bowl events across the city.
Wednesday, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano reviewed the security plan for the big game.
'We've been working very closely with New Orleans, with the state of Louisiana, with many other state and local partners to make sure that the run-up to the game is safe and secure and that the game itself is safe and secure,' said Napolitano.
The feds are protecting points of entry from the airport to the river.
Agents have also been checking for counterfeit items and dangerous cargo.
'Customs and Border Protection has been on the ground, they've been actually scanning all of the cargo coming into this area since Monday morning,' said Napolitano.
The NOPD, neighboring police departments and sheriff's offices and the state police are expected to maintain a visual presence between now and the big game.
'We will have 24-hour coverage on the walking beats on the downtown development areas, in the French Quarter area and Frenchman Street,' said Serpas. 'Whereever you go, you're going to see uniformed police officers 24 hours a day.'
'I'm going to have 238 troopers involved in here at the media center, the NFL Experience, the team hotel with Baltimore, throughout out the French Quarter and Central Business District,' said Louisiana State Police Superintendent Col. Mike Edmonson. 'We've done exercises. We've done events. We're ready for this.'
Twenty-five deputies and about a half-dozen mounted patrolmen from the St. Tammany Sheriff's Office are also working the Super Bowl detail.
'We remain committed to helping our partners in law enforcement whenever we are called upon,' said St. Tammany Sheriff Jack Strain.
The federal on-scene coordinator for Homeland Security declared New Orleans the safest city on the planet this week. Local law enforcers agree.
'Bottom line, I'm very confident,' said Serpas. 'I feel really good about the police officers. They're out there. They're working hard.'
'This is my fifth Super Bowl to be involved in as a state trooper,' said Edmonson. 'New Orleans does it right.'
The NFL is also doing its part.
The league's Chief Security Officer Jeff Miller says 4000 private security guards and crowd management personnel have been hired to work the big game.

The new lightweight smc Pentax-DA 40mm f/2.8 XS strives to be a versatile weapon in a photographer's arsenal of lenses. But the dainty lens, weighing only 51 grams and measuring a slim 9mm in thickness, needs a little more beef – at least that's what DxOMark determined after putting the lens' optics through our rigorous tests.
World renowned industrial designer Marc Newson threw his name and his imagination behind one of Pentax's latest lenses. Newson's twist on the exterior of the smc Pentax-DA 40mm f/2.8 XS lens has given it the appearance of a black poker chip.
But Pentax's gamble with the XS redesign didn't extend to the optics found inside its new lens. That was our conclusion during our DxOMark testing, where we discovered there was just a marginal improvement in the XS from its eight-year-old predecessor – the smc Pentax DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited.
The ultra-compact and circular XS lens, weighing a dainty 51 grams and measuring a slim 9mm in thickness, scored only 12 points in our DxOMark scale (see below for full score results) when tested using the Pentax K-5, a 16.3-megapixel digital SLR.
Despite its weak score, the lens succeeded at:
The Pentax-DA 40mm f/2.8 XS struggled with:
The XS lens scored only one-point higher than its predecessor. This is disappointing when you consider Pentax had about eight years to improve the shortcomings of the smc Pentax DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited.
When comparing image and optics quality against the Limited, the XS was tested as having slightly better brightness – improving about 0.2 T-stop over its older sibling.
Additional strengths of the XS over the Limited include:
The one weakness of the XS compared to the Limited is its resolution.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Here is a new series featuring the results of Pentax prime lenses mounted on the compatible camera with the best resolution thus far, the Pentax K5. (But as usual, you can consult DxOMark to see the results for these lenses when mounted on other compatible camera bodies, such as the Pentax K7 or Km.)

40mm F2.8 XS
I got this lens with my K01 and have been extremely pleased with it. Its allowed my K01 to fit in a coat pocket and with the camera set to AV, F2.8, auto iso 100-6400 it takes excellent pictures for the price. I have a picture of my GTO that i took and printed 13x19 and its just stunning (though after see it in print i did slightly over do the "punchy-ness"
Added by Class A | October 28, 2012
DxOMark Lens Score is Broken
The original DA 40/2.8 has better resolution and performs much better regarding CA. Yet, the new XS version gets a better DxOMark Score.
Who cares about T-Stops (a 3.1 vs 2.9 difference anyhow) or minute differences in vignetting?
I applaud your sensor testing and white papers, but your lens testing seems broken.
All Pentax lenses seem to be penalised for comparatively low T-Stops but I doubt that with today's high-ISO performances, this aspect of lenses really matters.
Added by HowardAbraham | June 13, 2012
Passes the Real World test just fine
I received the XS last week and took hundreds of photos with it, both indoors and outdoors this past weekend. I then imported the photos into Lightroom 4, so it's possible that LR4 compensated for any lens irregularities. In any case, I saw some fantastic results in terms of color, clarity, and depth of field. The 40mm focal length was quite liberating. I'm just an enthusiast and not a pro but I love this lens. And it's so tiny there is no reason not to carry it in your bag at all times.
Added by will_db | June 08, 2012
I am surprised to see such a poor account of this lens, given how well it has done in other reviews, e.g. Photozone.de:
"The Pentax SMC DA 40mm f/2.8 exhibits a quite harmonious optical performance combined with excellent build quality. It is capable to produce impressively sharp images across the frame straight from the max. aperture. Distortions are marginal and CAs are a non-issue. Vignetting is visible at f/2.8 but not a show-stopper. The bokeh (out-of-focus blur) is slightly sub-average and bokeh fringing can be an issue at very large apertures. The lens does also suffer from a focus shift when stopping down - this can have an impact in close focus scenarios".
I wonder if DXO's boffins are really as good at reviewing lenses as *real photographers* who recognise the practical applications of lenses.
