05.10.06 - By Jim Amato: I just received my ballot for the International Boxing Hall Of Fame induction nominees. There are 45 boxers on the ballot. Danny "Little Red" Lopez was not one of them. OUCH!!!
We can vote for ten. The top three vote getters will be enshrined. To me it's a no brainier...Roberto Duran ( my all time favorite ), Pernell Whitaker and Ricardo Lopez. I was not a Whitaker fan while he was active. Like Roy Jones Jr. in his prime this guy didn't lose fights, hell he rarely lost a round ! He was a true master of the ring. I recall a fight he had with Louie Lomeli. A tough guy who fought out of the Chicago area. The Whitaker that beat Lomeli that night was comparable to the Ali who beat Cleveland Williams. He was flawless. That night I knew, Whitaker was destined for greatness.
There are a couple of boxers I hope will get in someday. Eddie Perkins who is going into the World Boxing Hall Of Fame. Jimmy Carruthers, one of the greatest bantamweights of all time. Two outstanding flyweights champions, Pone Kingpetch and Betulio Gonzalez.
Holman Williams I hope will enter the Hall one day. Masao Ohba, a young great who tragically had his career end all too soon due to a car accident. The long and distinguished career of Jose Legra has to be taken seriously. Rafael Herrera holds two wins over Hall Of Famer, Ruben Olivares. Ernesto Marcel who holds a win over Alexis Arguello. At one time Donald Curry was considered the best pound for pound boxer in the world!
You could probably make a case for all of them. It is all a matter of opinion. I tip my hat to all forty five nominees. They all deserve to be on the ballot. Best of luck to you all.

Detroit based heavyweight contender Leo Nolan (27-1, 10 KOs) is still recovering from his shooting on June 14th. In an incident eerily similar to the recent shooting death of former world champion Vernon Forrest, Nolan was exiting his car in front of a friends house, when a young male ran up and attempted to rob him. During this attempt, the male appeared to get very nervous and shot at Nolan, hitting him just above the left collarbone.. Nolan was able to drive himself to the hospital. Due to the bullet being so close to the spinal cord, doctors were unwilling to risk surgery to remove the bullet. There still have not been any arrests made in this shooting. Nolan is slowly recovering from the shooting, still suffering from some loss of feeling in his left arm and hand. He is under the direct care of a doctor and physical therapist, and is hopeful for a full recovery. Nolan has also said he is heartbroken over the loss of Vernon Forrest and is grateful that his situation turned out differently.
(July 30, 2009) DiBella Entertainment has continued its streak of signing the best young talent in boxing by inking unbeaten featherweight Luis Del Valle. Del Valle (5-0, 3 KOs) is a native of Bayamon, Puerto Rico and signifies another step in DBEs growing presence on the island.
Del Valle, now fighting out of Newburgh, NY, made an impression at a young age coming through the amateur ranks. His triumphs include first place finishes at the 2004 National Golden Gloves, 2005 Under 19 National Amateur Championship, and 2006 Six Nations Cup.
Now five fights into his pro career, his skill set looks like it is transferring seamlessly from the amateur to professional ranks. His sixth fight, and DBE debut, will take place August 26 as a part of Broadway Boxing at BB King Blues Club & Grill in the heart of Times Square.
Its a blessing to be with one of the most established promotional companies in the business, said Del Valle. Now that Lou DiBella has put his trust in me, the sky will be the limit starting August 26.
The significance of Del Valle joining the DiBella Entertainment team goes far beyond just signing another great talent. It is also yet another example of DBEs foray into the Puerto Rican market. Already in the stable are Broadway Boxing headliner Joelo Torres, along with top contenders Kermit Cintron and Carlos Quintana.
This is a market we are going to seriously tap into, said DiBella. Luis Del Valle showed how great he can be as an amateur, and is unquestionably one of the top prospects of Puerto Rican descent in the world. I look forward to steering him towards a world title, while continuing to keep and eye out for the best young talent of Puerto Rican ancestry
Tickets for Luis Del Valles next fight, on the August 26 edition of Broadway Boxing, are on sale and can be purchased by calling DiBella Entertainment at 212-947-2577. Tickets are $125 for VIP Ringside, $100 for Ringside Tables, $75 for Floor Seats, and $55 for General Admission. Additional information can be found by visiting DBE on the web at http://www.dbe1.com

Re: What's your biggest bonehead move sailing?
Sigh. Two weekends ago in Pensacola Bay on Fairweather (Catalina 25), headed into Big Lagoon traversing the narrow channel between Sherman Cove (NAS Pensacola) and 'Roberston Island' where people anchor on the beach to do some partying. After hanging out in Big Lagoon (1st time ever anchoring on my own) decide to try the OTHER channel closer to the outlet to the Gulf and lo, I ground. Fortunately I got off the hidden sandbar with a mere turn in reverse with the outboard and off I went...to be grounded again. Apparently the sand shifts a lot there at the entry/exit to the Gulf so now I'll be keeping a close eye out and operating with heightened paranoia from here on out.

Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics® Original Formula combines ancient fermentation skills and modern science to create a powerful formula that changes the gastrointestinal environment to benefit all healthful strains and to discourage the bad. This unique product was developed by renowned microbiologist Iichiroh Ohhira, PhD and a team of distinguished research scientists at Okayama University.
Twelve carefully selected strains are used in a 3-year fermentation process to maximize health-giving properties and to foster the strongest bacteria. The fermented original culture medium of nutritious mushrooms, vegetables, fruits and seaweed is encapsulated with the bacteria to provide a most effective and well-tolerated probiotic.
Organic acids naturally produced by the bacteria help improve digestive pH for the benefit of the hundreds of other beneficial strains in your system, some of which are unique to the individual. Proprietary strain TH10 is 6 times stronger than other probiotics.
No refrigeration is needed because fermentation takes place at ambient temperatures. The product has an impressive 3 year shelf life, is 100 percent vegetarian, including the soft capsule; non-GMO, and free of pesticides.
|Supplement Facts
†Ingredients are fermented and processed for three years using 12 strains of lactic acid bacteria. All strains may not be present in final product.

These look great, went on fairly easy. The front fender was a little tricky. Be sure to ask if all of the listed parts in the complete set are available for your model. KTM 50 sx kit does not come with the lower fork guard or the swingarm decals. As always, great service and fast shipping. Best online service of anyone out there. Wrong product , sorry.

what the hell happened to this topic. wish there was a video about it.
Oh wow. People were actually mad at that?
The man said f*****ry in response to a guy saying he loves all the meat (talking about ordering a pizza).
It was a joke, and he instantly regretted it and felt awful and apologized multiple times.
I really thought he was the only person making a deal out of this. No one really seemed to care at the moment it happened. Everyone just kept telling him it was whatever.

Anyone who allows themselves to be offended over a word is an insecure idiot.
It really wasn't a big deal. He wasn't even referring to anyone's sexuality. The stream monsters jumped on it and started trolling him hardcore, causing him to apologize. The language in stream chat at any given moment is 100X worse than what he said.

'This is so much fucking better than sitting in school," says Isabel (Lauren Annunziata) after smoking a couple of bowls with her 15-year-old pals, Jared (Ben Hollandsworth) and Dan (Seth Clayton), who play hookup as well as hooky with her as they all careen around New Mexico in a car reeking of reefer. Oasis and Bob Dylan blast from the dashboard. Taco Bell meals are consumed. Wary but raw adolescent confessions are made. Meanwhile, back at school, their cohorts wait under desks in lockdown while a security guard with PTSD (Danny Wolohan) wanders the halls dealing with his rage issues.

I'm Pretty Fucked Up, a new play by Ariel Stess, continues Clubbed Thumb's annual Summerworks series with a warmhearted look at adults' and teens' shared struggle to get by emotionally. Stess goes for social satire at the expense of narrative development but gets decent mileage out of the road scenes, in part because the truant trio is so well-played. Her drama tries to make a virtue of inconsequence, showing that grown-ups worry too much and innocence wins out even in complicated times: It's all good. But those lackadaisical qualities can't cover the script's deficiencies. In Kip Fagan's stop-and-go production, the story meanders, and it can be hard to see why it needs a live stage when everything looks and feels so much like TV.

Driver shot after hour-long SDPD pursuit
San Diego San Diego police shot a driver several times Thursday morning after he stopped his car in Mount Hope at the end of an hourlong pursuit and aimed a pistol at them, authorities said.
Four officers fired a barrage of rounds through the car windows at 9:30 a.m.
Police approached the vehicle and saw the 40-year-old driver slumped over but moving. He was taken to a hospital with at least four wounds considered life-threatening, police Capt. Terry McManus said.
The man's name was not released. Police said he is a suspect in a double shooting on Monday night.
One witness to Thursday's pursuit, Charles Wright, 59, who lives in the area, said he saw several patrol cars following a reddish-orange sedan until it stopped on 41st Street near Hilltop Drive. He said he saw officers approach the car, then he heard 10 to 15 shots.
Another witness, Frankie Martinez, said he dropped to the ground when police opened fire on the sedan.
"I thought they were going to give him a chance, or something," Martinez said. "I thought he did something bad, for that to happen."
The incident began when a San Diego police officer tried to stop the driver of a 2002 Saturn two-door at 8:32 a.m. for talking on a cellphone on Grape Street in the Oak Park neighborhood, McManus said.
When the officer got out of his car, the Saturn driver sped off, running red lights and racing down residential streets at 60 mph, police said.
There was a female passenger in the Saturn, which officers were told matched the description of a car driven by a suspect in Monday's shooting of two men on Logan Avenue in Mountain View.
A police helicopter joined the pursuit as the Saturn driver fled into National City, Bonita and Paradise Hills, avoiding several officers' attempts to spike his tires.
Shortly after 9 a.m., he headed north on Interstate 805, east on state Route 94 and south on Euclid Avenue to Hilltop Drive. He let out the passenger at 41st Street and kept driving east.
The woman was taken into custody and told an officer that the driver had a firearm.
After circling around Encanto and Bay Terraces, he ran over spike strips while going west on Imperial Avenue. He returned to 41st Street, driving slowly on flattened right tires until he stopped a short distance south of Hilltop Drive, at 9:30 a.m. Police said he rolled up his driver's window. Seconds later, police reported shots fired.
Video shot by an XETV, Channel 6, news cameraman showed one officer, who had been placing a spike strip in the intersection, firing into the windshield. Another officer standing on the passenger side also appeared to be shooting. About 18 gunshots can be heard on the video.
McManus said four officers outside their vehicles clearly saw the driver raise a pistol and aim it at them before they fired.
Bullets pierced the windshield and driver's side window, and the passenger window was shattered. The man remained in the car while police blocked streets. A police dog was sent into the car through the passenger window.

Please recomend a blue water cruiser for around 10K
Hi, this is my first post.
I have enjoyed reading all the comments from more experienced sailors. Dear all, please can you suggest a few boats. I have a dream to sail about half the year. I have been researching for about 4 months for my ideal boat. My plan is to buy a 27-35 footer that I can single hand once I know her. I prefer solid fibreglass (I can do repairs). I like the idea of late 70s early 1980''s (for systems and resale). Budget? Well the sages recommend buying a boat of this age that has already been refitted. Which could take us to 15K 20K . but the less spent the better (that way if shes holed or stolen then it wont break the bank + shell be less of a target for criminals). I will be cruising for 6 months of the year, most of the time on board, but I dont want luxury. Mainly solo with friends visiting (max 4 berths). I prefer a draft of less than 4 ft. to get into those sheltered interesting places, yet I want her to be capable of an ocean crossing. For this it also seems diesel engine a must. (then I could use biodiesel)
Research has turned up so far Vegas, Tartan 27, 30, (I like the centreboard idea on these boats) contessa 26, sabre 28, and somebody recommended alberg 30ft.
Speed not a priority, but The seawind 11 32, and westsail 32 might be too much to handle? My experience is beginner/intermediate.
I plan to buy in florida USA ideally febuary/ march 2009. That way I can easily fly up from Chile, get some experience on her / do any maintenance, and sail the carib for 3 or 4 months
Many thanks for your thoughts. I hope I havent fanned any flames

Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: Justice A.K. Ganguly, Chief Justice of the Madras High Court, inaugurated a 'University and Bench-Bar lecture series' at a function organised by Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University here on Wednesday.
Justice Ganguly said the law was an ocean, whose expanse was widening daily. Now one could find a renewed interest in the justice delivery system. The world of law was fast changing, and the students needed to equip themselves to face the challenges. In every national and international aspect, the law had a vital role to play. The students should realise their importance and each had the potential to change the course of the country.
M. Jaichandren, Judge, Madras High Court, said the lecture series was nothing new; it was organised earlier too. But, in between, it was stopped. The lectures, however, were not substitutes for regular classes, he said.
A. Raghunadha Reddy, Dean, Research, Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University, said the lecture series was meant for budding lawyers. Having a mere theoretical background would not be useful, so a practical training in the form of a lecture series was started.
S. Sachidhanandam, Vice-Chancellor, Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University, and P. Vanangamudi, Dean, College Development Council, spoke.

Neely: 'We're waiting like everyone else'
|06.24.10 at 10:08 pm ET
New Bruins president Cam Neely was taking care of business at the NHL Board of Governors meeting in Los Angeles on Thursday, but he now has to play a waiting game like everyone else.
While the Board of Governors approved a rule change providing a five-minute penalty for a blindside hit to the head ' such as that which sidelined Bruins center Marc Savard this season ' Neely emerged from Thursday's meeting focused on Friday's draft in which the Bruins have the second overall pick.
The Edmonton Oilers have the first pick in the draft, and with it the possibility of trading down if the player they would select is different than the player the Bruins want. Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin are considered locks to be selected with the top two picks, but so far, the Oilers have not indicated which player they prefer.
There has been much speculation the Oilers plan to take Hall and the Bruins would then choose Seguin, but nothing is definite at this point.
'Edmonton still hasn't really said anything, so nothing is etched [in stone]. We're still waiting like everyone else,' said Neely, who was named as the Bruins President on June 16.
Neely had attended Board of Governors meetings before, but was doing so his new capacity for the firs time on Thursday.
'A lot of the stuff I've been doing has not really changed that much,' said Neely. 'Obviously, a little more responsibility now, which is OK. I'm looking forward to the challenge.'
Among his first duties at the Board of Governors meeting was assessing the blindside hit rule approved Thursday.
'The one concern that I have is that it's still going to be a tough rule to call,' Neely said. 'I don't know if you're going to get everyone happy. That's the problem.'
In response to a question regarding the Matt Cooke hit on Savard, which caused Savard to incur a significant concussion, Neely said that the hit would be illegal under the new rule, which he generally favors.
'I think it's going to be tough for the referee in that split second to really judge the call. Like all new rules, there's going to be some questions,' he said. 'At least there is an attempt to get [hits to the head] out of the game. '

School of Visual Communication Design Recruits Creative High School Students for Summer Camp
Kent State University's School of Visual Communication Design is sponsoring its second summer creative camp, known as the Inspire Creative Camp, for 14- to 19-year-old students from June 16-21 at Kent State University. Students who are incoming freshmen at Kent State will receive a $100 scholarship to attend.
The five-day camp is geared at exploring graphic design, illustration, photography and stop-motion graphics, and allows students to build a full portfolio of creative work. This summer, students have the option of staying overnight, allowing interested participants from across the country to attend, and even more time for design activities.
Inspire serves as a pre-college experience, preparing youth for college life, expectations and demands. Enriching students' lives through design is part of the camp's mission.
"Camp attendees are educated about design by providing a space for experimentation and an introduction to the practice of design, the profession and creative problem solving," according to the camp's website. "Our camp is designed to foster creativity, encouraging students to "spread their wings" in a learning-centered, collaborative and fun environment."
Visual communication design assistant professors Jillian Coorey and Gretchen Rinnert lead the camp, which culminates with a show to display student work for family and friends on Friday, June 21, from 4:30 to 6 p.m.
Each day, the projects that students complete and the associated learning objectives focus on one area of visual design, photography, motion or illustration. So, students get a full day to explore areas such as printmaking or 2-D and 3-D graphic design. Students build their creative skills, while engaging with current design students and professionals.
"Being able to have creative freedom with the projects and learning about different ways I could use design in a job later on," one camper says was his favorite part. View images of the students' projects in this video.
Last year, the theme of the camp's projects was the alphabet. While working on 3-D graphic design, students took a wayfinding walk through campus and used the experience as inspiration for creating 3-D letterforms.
Overnight campers will get an even closer look into what living on a college campus is like. Camp evenings will be spent exploring campus and delving deeper into design through more creative activities.
Guest speakers and instructors help students envision what a career in design, photography or a creative field would be like. The breadth of work produced by campers can build a well-rounded portfolio of their work for use in college applications or job credentials.
"I wanted to tell you what an impact the Inspire Camp had on my son," one parent says. "He loved it and enjoyed all of the experiences with various media across the week and the interaction with other participants. Most importantly, we feel he was actually 'inspired.' He wants to pursue graphic design at Kent State."
Questions and inquiries can be directed to Coorey at firstname.lastname@example.com or Rinnert at firstname.lastname@example.com. The application can be found online at vcd.kent.edu/inspire. May 31 is the deadline for applications.

Kent State's Special Education Program Receives $1.3 million Grant, Seeks Applicants
Students to receive full tuition, monthly stipend and iPad
Kent State University's Special Education program seeks applicants for its Early Intervention in Natural Environments Specialization Training through Distance Learning program to prepare individuals at the graduate level to work with infants and toddlers who have identified disabilities or delays and their families.
The program, which received a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education, is designed for individuals who have existing bachelor's or higher degrees in special education and related fields (e.g., early childhood education, human development and family studies, speech pathology), but all interested individuals are encouraged to apply. The program will financially support six students per year for the next five years for a total of 30 scholars.
The program is a one-year, full-time study designed to prepare early intervention practitioners to provide direct services to young children and their families, consult with other early intervention professionals, and apply research-based practices in their profession. The training program includes significant opportunities for trainees to work in identified programs located within the geographic boundary of a high-need area, serving infants, toddlers and young children. Upon completion, students will be recommended for the Early Intervention Specialist certificate in the state of Ohio. The early intervention certificate training includes seven courses and three field experiences over the course of three semesters, and the graduate-level courses can be applied toward a master's degree in special education.
Financial support will be provided for full-time students, and will include:
- Full tuition support for one calendar year (three semesters with a full-time course load)
- A monthly stipend of $1,000, including summer months
- An iPad
Individuals must hold at least a bachelor's degree, and individuals must meet Kent State University graduate school admission requirements. A two-year service obligation (i.e., position in the field of early intervention) will be required for funded students after completion of the program.
Applications for the program must be received by May 1. Contact Assistant Professor Sanna Harjusola-Webb at firstname.lastname@example.com with questions.

Kent State Connects Blog: The Sneaky Symptoms of Diabetes; Fun Ways to Be Active Outside
Paula DiVencenzo, tax manager for Tax and Treasury Services at Kent State, writes about how she and her family found out that she had type 1 diabetes. DiVencenzo discusses the symptoms on the Kent State Connects blog.
The Sneaky Symptoms of Diabetes
"I was exhausted after dance class. I couldn't get enough to drink and had more 'pit stops.' I was happy when I got on the scale because drinking diet pop was making me lose weight. I just didn't feel good. I was tired of going to the school nurse because I was going to throw up in class. I got into trouble for calling my mom on the pay phone (remember those?). I had repeated trips to the doctor," DiVencenzo says.

Fun Ways to Be Active Outside
With warmer months approaching, David Herpy, outdoor adventure coordinator at the Department of Recreational Services, talks about the many fun ways to be active outdoors.
"As an outdoor guy, both personally and professionally, there is no better feeling than being outside. When I'm not coordinating outdoor adventure activities for the Department of Recreational Services or teaching outdoor activity classes for the College of Education, Health and Human Services, I'm spending as much of my free time as I can outside," Herpy says.

Hyde Park Forum Brings Alumni Back to Campus as Contest Judges
A tradition in Kent State University's School of Communication Studies, the Hyde Park Forum Persuasive Speaking Contest, was held on April 10 in the Kent Student Center Ballroom.
Nine students from a variety of academic majors who are enrolled in the school's Introduction to Human Communication course competed against each other to be named winner.
Matt Fredmonsky, magazine journalism alumnus, '06, and editor of KentPatch.com; Ann Guariniello, Rhetoric and Communication, '91, and IS/IT technical coordinator of ComDoc; Suzanne Theisen, Stow Munroe Falls High School speech coach; Paul Haridakis, Ph.D., director of the School of Communication Studies; and Stan Wearden, Ph.D., dean of the College of Communication and Information, served as the competition's judges.
"We had our largest audience," says Jennifer McCullough, Ph.D., assistant professor and basic course director in the School of Communication Studies. "We invite alumni to judge the forum so that they have an opportunity to see what current students are doing and give them a chance to stay involved in the school. With hundreds of people attending the event, it is a good chance for alumni to see how excited and engaged our students are."
"I felt very honored to judge this competition as a proud alumna of the Kent State School of Communication Studies," Guariniello says. "I believe I was a good candidate to judge this competition because I have 20 years of work experience, which allows me to use what I have learned to help judge this competition."
Every student enrolled in Introduction to Human Communication during the 2012-2013 academic year was eligible for the competition. Contestants were determined by a committee that reviewed each of the submitted persuasive speech outlines of the hundreds of enrolled students.
"Each forum contestant was judged on his or her clarity in topic and purpose, the use of credible supporting materials, and use of a clear and logical organizational pattern," McCullough says. "Contestants also were judged on their use of language, vocal qualities, articulation, and use of nonverbal communication."
"Personally, I think what affects their scores the most are two things," Guariniello says. "One, were they prepared? Another, were they confident? They will have a hard time convincing a panel of judges anything without these two things."
Pearson Education, the world's leading education company, sponsored the 2013 Hyde Park Forum. It donated $1,500 in scholarship and event funds.
First place went to Lindsey Shook, special education major, who earned a $500 scholarship. Her topic was "Spread the Word to End the Word." Hallie Rasner, visual communication design major, took second place and a $300 scholarship with her speech titled "The Detrimental Effects of Reality Television on Society," while third place and a $100 scholarship went to Natalie DeGenova, broadcast journalism major, for her presentation "Celebrities Above the Law."
In addition to the scholarships, students gained valuable experience from participating in the contest.
"Students always benefit from competing in this competition," McCullough says. "Confidence in one's presentation skills is a major advantage. The Hyde Park Forum provides students with a unique opportunity to speak to a large audience of peers and an experienced panel of judges. The feedback competitors receive from the judges is a great way for students to learn from experts."
"I feel any opportunity like this is an excellent chance for a student to shine and showcase his or her talents, such as presentation skills and knowledge about the topic covered," Guariniello says. "Students should be able to learn to take constructive criticism on the feedback that is offered to them. They should also feel honored that they are part of this great event."
Other students who competed in this year's forum were:
- Cassandra Mejia, exploratory major – "Know the Breed Before You Buy"
- John Stahl, finance major – "Space Exploration"
- Lauren Nervo, early childhood education major – "Texting and Driving Could Lead to a Dead End"
- Rachel Morrell, communication studies major – "Adopt-A-Bull: Your New Best Friend"
- Taylor Heibertshausen, hospitality management major – "Raising Chickens: Becoming Healthy, Wealthy and Wise While Still Sleeping In"
- Amber Bucher, news major– "Honey Bees"

Imports fell 5.8% in February to $4.71B
Economist says data suggest weakness in future exports
popular .
The country's merchandise imports fell 5.8 percent to $4.71 billion last February from $5 billion in the same month last year, the National Statistics Office reported yesterday. This was the second consecutive monthly drop after the 8-percent contraction in January.
Total imports for the first two months of 2013 declined by 6.9 percent to $9.44 billion from $10.13 billion a year ago. Three major exports continued to contract–mineral fuels, lubricants and related products by 8.2 percent; transport equipment by 9.1 percent, and metal ores and scraps by 32.7 percent.
"For the period, electronic product imports declined to $2.39 billion from $2.76 billion in 2012 or by 13.3 percent. This development doesn't augur well for Philippine exports," said Benjamin Diokno of the UP School of Economics. Diokno said this suggested the external trade sector would continue to experience weakness in the first quarter.
Economic growth for the first quarter might have to rely heavily on domestic factors, Diokno added. "In the light of these actual numbers representing one-sixth of potential total imports for the year, my previous forecast of 7-percent imports growth for 2013 is more likely than the government's revised forecast of 12 percent," Diokno said.
For February alone, NSO said that eight of 10 major commodity groups contracted–transport equipment; organic and inorganic chemicals; plastics in primary and non-primary forms; electronic products; iron and steel; telecommunication equipment and electrical machinery; industrial machinery and equipment, and other food and live animals.
Electronics imports in February amounted to $1.25 billion, down 12.6 percent from $1.43 billion. Among the major groups of electronic products, semiconductors decreased by 10.5 percent to $948.99 million last February from $1.06 billion a year ago. Mineral fuels, lubricants and related products grew 20.2 percent, transport equipment dropped 31.1 percent, industrial machinery and equipment shrank 5.2 percent, other food and live animals fell 2.1 percent.
The United States was the country's biggest source of imports (comprising electronic products, feeding stuff for animals and wheat) for February, growing 0.8 percent to $547.43 million from $542.92 million a year ago. Imports from China, made up of mineral products and telecommunication equipment, grew 21.7 percent to $542.44 million. Imports from Japan, mostly semiconductors, contracted 33.4 percent to $444.38 million. Imports from Singapore (mainly mineral fuels, lubricants and semiconductors) dropped 1.9 percent to $415.9 million.

Adagio44, You would not have difficulty with the 6.5 draft when entering a number of St. Augustine marinas, but you'll need to be wary of the inlet at St. Ausustine by taking the best tide and visiblity timing. There have been some sifting of sand bars and adjustments of temporary bouys at the inlet. 'always best to call on the VHF for some local knowledge advice. A greater concern may be using the ICW in transit. The 6.5 draft is doable with care at some points, but you'll need to have a specific grasp of that "about 65' " mast clearance. Many ICW fixed bridges are 65' at MHW. Take care and joy, Aythya crew

The Dallas Stars have signed right wing Ray Whitney to a two-year $9 million contract, the team announced Sunday. Whitney, 40, was an unrestricted free-agent after the Phoenix Coyotes were unable to sign him in part because of their unstable future. Despite his age, Whitney was one of the most sought-after free agents as the signing period began at noon ET Sunday. He was 12th in the NHL with 77 points while helping the Coyotes win the Pacific Division and advance to the Western Conference finals. He has averaged 67 points per season since turning 35. "Whitney was among the most productive players in the league last season and showed he remains extremely capable and dangerous," Stars general manager Joe Nieuwendyk said. "He's a winner, a competitor and a leader, and we're very excited he'll be a Dallas Star." TSN.ca reported Whitney might have re-signed with Phoenix, but the Coyotes' uncertain lease situation in Glendale, Ariz., made him look elsewhere. "It was quite a bit ...

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

Post No Bills opens when Reyna (Audrey Esparza)—a penniless, feisty runaway, bent on musical stardom—arrives at Port Authority, confident she'll strike fame (if only she can scrounge up some lunch). She befriends two seasoned subway performers—Sal (John-Martin Green), blind and genial, his sign advertising "Curse Me Out: $1"; and Esteban (Teddy Cañez), once a famous Tex-Mex crooner, now nursing a mysterious wound. Rechristened "Lady Rey," she becomes their protégée, pounding out rhythms on a bucket-turned-drum.
Reyna sees infinite possibilities before her—it's too bad the play itself has such limited horizons, its sweet premise sagging beneath a tired love-triangle plot and oversize emotions. When an interloper vies for Reyna's affections, he prompts a series of cascading confessions and tearful showdowns, old agonies fueling new angst.
Raul Abrego's thoughtful set—a blue construction-site wall, warning trespassers to "Post No Bills"—periodically parts in the center, revealing Esteban's messy Brooklyn hovel. Beer bottles and bedclothes spill everywhere. As the walls close, then open, the set becomes a physical corollary for the play's relentless baring of emotional interiors.
Esteban and Reyna belt out Post's mournfully charming soundtrack. But the play's most evocative moment is its quietest, when Reyna plays a song for Esteban on her iPod. He listens, she watches intently—and for one understated moment, something goes unrevealed.

As wildfires devour acreage across the West and a heat wave broils in the East, the question seems natural: Are we feeling the effects of global warming?
Scientists still answer cautiously. No single weather event, they say, can be linked directly to global climate change. But some researchers have begun to draw a broader connection between sweltering temperatures, tinder-dry forests and a warming planet.
While direct links are still elusive, the statistics, they say, reveal climate change hovering in the background -- pushing conditions more consistently toward extremes, and causing those extremes to increase in severity.
"One of the things I try to impress upon people is that the environment that all the storms are forming in nowadays, that all the weather occurs in, is different than it used to be because of climate change," said Kevin Trenberth, a climate researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo.
Since the 1950s, heat waves have increased in number and duration across the world, and also have grown hotter, Trenberth and his co-authors wrote in a recent review of other climate studies published through May 2012.
New record high temperatures in the contiguous United States are outpacing record lows, a trend that also is swinging sharply upward, he said.
In previous decades, the ratio was roughly equal.
"By the time we got to the 2000s, it was running, in the U.S., about 2 to 1," Trenberth said. "This year it has been running, on average, about 10 to 1. This is an indication that this is more than natural variability. This is clearly an indication of climate change. So many people, at the moment, can look out the window and see aspects of climate change in action."
The first five months of the year also were the hottest on record for the contiguous states, he said.
In March, the same states broke more than 15,000 records, but it seemed to go largely unnoticed.
"In the East, many people felt they didn't really have a winter," Trenberth said. "And many people enjoyed that. Then we got to March, and we had June temperatures in March. Again many people enjoyed it; it was glorious."
The warmth was still familiar, just at the wrong time of year, he said.
"But by the time we get to June, running with temperatures above average, then we're no longer in familiar territory," he said.
Dry conditions in the West, meanwhile, have left the Rockies with little snow, and left vegetation parched, raising the risk of wildfire.
And a large number of wildfires are burning in the West, including in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.

Madoff Trustee Picard Sues JPMorgan for $6.4 Billion
Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) -- The trustee liquidating Bernard Madoff's former investment firm sued JPMorgan Chase & Co. for $6.4 billion over claims the bank aided and abetted the imprisoned con man's fraud.
Irving H. Picard, the lawyer appointed as trustee by a New York bankruptcy court, said in a statement that he sued JPMorgan yesterday seeking $1 billion in fees and $5.4 billion in damages.
"JPMorgan was willfully blind to the fraud, even after learning about numerous red flags surrounding Madoff," David J. Sheehan, counsel to Picard, said in the statement. "JPMC was at the very center of that fraud, and thoroughly complicit in it."
Any money recovered from JPMorgan will be returned to Madoff's victims on a pro rata basis, said Picard, who has so far recovered about $1.5 billion for Madoff creditors.
Picard's complaint "blatantly distorts both the facts and the law in an attempt to grab headlines," JPMorgan, the second-biggest U.S. bank, said yesterday in a statement. "JPMorgan did not know about or in any way assist in the fraud orchestrated by Bernard Madoff."
JPMorgan, based in New York, said it has assisted Picard in his investigation of Madoff's firm and called his claims "irresponsible and over-reaching."
'XYZ Corp.'
Picard filed a separate complaint yesterday seeking $3.14 million from an unidentified company. The complaint, against "XYZ Corp.," was filed under seal in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. The docket entry for the lawsuit listed the demand as "$3135671000," or $3.14 billion. In an e-mail today, Picard provided the amount of the demand and said that the court record was being corrected.
The lawsuit against JPMorgan, which Picard called Madoff's "primary banker," was filed under seal in the same court, according to the trustee's statement.
JPMorgan "has designated virtually all of their information as confidential," Picard said. "We intend to move to have the complaint made public as soon as possible."
The suit is the second-biggest filed by Picard in the Madoff bankruptcy, after a $7.2 billion claim he filed against investor Jeffry Picower in May 2009. Picower died in October 2009.
$15.5 Billion
In addition to the Picower suit, Picard filed at least 18 other court claims seeking the return of $15.5 billion paid to Madoff friends and family, feeder funds, favored investors and others.
On Nov. 23, Picard sued UBS AG for at least $2 billion, claiming the Swiss wealth-management firm also helped Madoff in his fraud. UBS said it bears no responsibility for Madoff's crimes. Three days later, Picard sued 40 people who were former Madoff employees or are relatives of Madoff or his wife, Ruth Madoff.
Over the past week, Picard has sued hundreds of so-called "net winners," investors who withdrew more from their Madoff accounts than they invested. Picard, supported by a ruling in the case from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Burton Lifland, claims such fictitious profits must be returned to the bankruptcy estate and paid out to all of Madoff's victims with valid claims. Yesterday, he sued entities of Paris-based BNP Paribas to recover the $160 million they allegedly got from Madoff's fraud.
Picard is suing for the return of fictitious profits earned in the last six years.
Dec. 11 Deadline
Today, Picard filed a complaint for $182.4 million against Trotanoy Investment Co., a fund managed by Access International Advisors Ltd. and entities of Hyposwiss Private Bank Geneve SA. The fund's managers ignored warnings that the Madoff investments were fraudulent, according to the complaint.
Picard faces a Dec. 11 deadline for filing suits to recover false profits.
Madoff, 72, is serving a 150-year sentence in a North Carolina federal prison after admitting he directed the biggest Ponzi scheme in history. Madoff was arrested and his firm, New York-based Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, forced into bankruptcy when news of the fraud became public in December 2008.
At the time of his arrest, Madoff's account statements reflected 4,900 accounts with $65 billion in nonexistent balances. Investors lost about $20 billion in principal.
The case is Picard v. JPMorgan Chase & Co., 10-ap-4932, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
