Let's suppose one of you top experts hits a deadhead at night, stuffs a foot wide hole in the hull and loses a cheap quarter million dollar 40'er. The owner is a nice guy but his wife is really pissed at you and files suit, saying it was irresponsible of you to sail at night when you couldn't see what was out there. She gets a jury to agree and you get screwed. Hey, sure, you did everything right and **** happens, but that also includes courts making the wrong decisions and now you're being held liable for a quarter million dollars, and also the loss of her prize winning pomeritzu dogs who last were seen going down with the boat. They were prize-winning breed stock and gifts from Leona Helmsley, valued at
hundred grand for the pair.
You're screwed. You will now lose 350,000 dollars, from your house, your retirement funds (they're not all inviolate), your own boat, whatever you've got. It doesn't matter how good or professional you were, folks get caught up in this stuff all the time and SOME folks would really rather just buy insurance than risk the loss.
It has nothing to do with how qualified you are, how responsible you are, how experienced you are. It has to deal solely with how you chose to
against risk of loss.
Solo delivery captains may be the last cowboys, riding off with just a horse and saddle. Much of the rest of the world? Isn't quite so brave.
You're absolutely correct, of course, and there is certainly a good case to be made for carrying liability insurance... My response was simply more to the general tone of Andrew's musings, rather than to the OP's query (who seems to be getting a bit ahead of himself in certain respects, by thinking of purchasing a life raft before owning a boat, for example (grin))
I've always viewed the delivery business as a surprisingly 'intimate' one, as you're assuming command of a possession that is very dear to most clients... Personally, I cannot imagine having my own boat delivered by anyone else, and there has to be an extraordinary amount of trust involved, on the part of both parties... I've been lucky, since deliveries have never represented my sole source of income, I've usually had the luxury to pass on deals that didn't 'feel right', or that I sensed might turn into a real PITA... As with most any profession, one develops the ability to sense the likelihood of a particular client being one that might best be avoided within the first minute of a phone conversation... One of the first things I learned getting started out, is to always go with my gut feeling in that respect...
Obviously, guys like Andrew and I are still operating by modes of 'responsible behavior' that no longer apply... We've both gotten away with it for decades, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I sink some client's million dollar baby, his own insurance refuses to cover the loss, and he turns to me for payback...
One thing I do have going for me that might help me avoid your scenario, however:
I would never, EVER run a boat with a pair of prize-winning Pomeritzus along for the ride... (grin)

MTECH "Huntsman" Survival Knife
A rare melee weapon
- Tactical fixed-blade survival knife
- Full-tang tanto blade with 6-tooth sawback
- 440C stainless steel blade, G10 handle, nylon sheath
A rare melee weapon
If you've ever had a cheap steak knife fall apart in your hands while you were slicing into a piece of beef, you're already sold on full-tang blades. Everybody else, listen up: when your blade is forged from a single piece of 440 stainless steel that extends the full length of the grip, it's much more likely to be able to handle extreme situations such as those we know you are likely to get yourself into.
Still, there are a lot of full-tang, fixed-blade survival knives out there. The MTech "Huntsman" Survival Knife has some style, with a 6-tooth sawback. 11" overall, it features a black, 5 1/2" tanto blade. It includes a black nylon sheath that has a belt loop, a leg strap, and a paracord lanyard for options, plus an exterior pocket. We suggest that you use that exterior pocket to house an empty pack of bubble gum, so that you can demonstrate that you're all outta gum.
Product Specifications
- Tactical fixed-blade survival knife
- Full-tang tanto blade with 6-tooth sawback
- Comes with black nylon sheath with belt loop, leg strap, paracord lanyard, and additional pocket
- Looks a lot like the Huntsman Knife from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
- Only a lot cheaper than the Huntsman from CS:GO
- Also similar to the knife in Call of Duty: Ghosts
- And the Halo 4 Assassination Knife, now that we mention it
- Materials: 440C stainless steel blade, G10 handle, nylon sheath
- Dimensions: 11" overall, 5.5mm thickness, 5 1/2" blade, 5" handle
- Weight: 14 oz.

Small Cat Conservation Gets a Big Boost with a Federal Grant
You probably already know that the Cincinnati Zoo is committed to the conservation of lions, tigers and cheetahs, but did you know that we are also leading the way in small cat conservation? And our Small Cat Signature Project just got bigger! Our Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife (CREW) recently received a Museums for America Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to improve our ability to maintain healthy captive populations of five small cat species across the country—the Brazilian ocelot, the Pallas' cat, the black-footed cat, the Arabian sand cat and the fishing cat.
Unfortunately, none of these small cat populations are considered sustainable through natural breeding alone. That's where Dr. Bill Swanson, CREW's Director of Animal Research and the world's leading expert on small cat reproduction, comes in. Working in partnership with Dr. Jason Herrick of the National Foundation for Fertility Research and the Species Survival Plan coordinators for each species, Dr. Swanson will direct the project with a focus on three goals: 1) Collect and freeze semen from the most valuable cats for each species, 2) Produce viable offspring using artificial insemination in recommended breeding pairs that fail to reproduce naturally, 3) Produce offspring with frozen-thawed semen from genetically valuable or under-represented males.
Building on CREW's decades of ground-breaking research on small cat reproduction, successful completion of this project will greatly enhance the sustainability and stewardship of small cat collections in AZA zoos. Now that's big news!

Cincinnati Zoo is Ready to Celebrate World Rhino Day!
Over the past year, Zoo staff and volunteers have been getting ready to celebrate World Rhino Day. This year's festivities will be held from 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday, September 21. The goal for this event is to raise funds for rhino conservation and increase the public awareness of the major challenges faced in protecting wild rhino populations. The Zoo is proud to exhibit three species of rhino; the African black rhino, the Indian rhino and the Sumatran rhino. Zoo visitors can take part in family activities, animal demonstrations, keeper encounters and a rhino-riffic raffle. The day will start with the official announcement of the winners for our Save the Rhinos poster contest. The day will no doubt be a Rhinotastic success!
The raffle items this year include rhino-themed gift baskets, a one-year membership to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, Rhino Rembrandt paintings artistically designed by the Zoo's African black rhino 'Seyia' and Sumatran rhino 'Harapan', a one-of-a-kind Sumatran rhino footprint casting created by keeper and artist Lindsay Garrett, and an amazing print of Sumatran rhino 'Harapan' as designed and painted by artist Ali Armstrong as part of her 'Scarce Project'.
Be sure to also come out to the Zoo on Monday, September 22, from 7-9 pm to hear the State of the Rhino Lecture by CREW Rhino Scientists Dr. Terri Roth. Tickets to Dr. Roth's lecture can be purchased online. A rhino marketplace will take place in the lecture hall before and after the talk and another rhino raffle occur. In addition, renowned children's book author Mary Kay Carson and photographer Tom Uhlman will be available before and after the lecture to sign copies of their critically acclaimed book, Emi and the Rhino Scientist.
Come one, come all to help us celebrate rhinos!

How can you tell if a polar bear is pregnant?
Written by Crissi Lanier & Shasta Bray
It's not as easy as one would think. Dr. Erin Curry with our Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife (CREW) is committed to finding a way.
The Cincinnati Zoo is currently home to two polar bears, Little One and Berit. Little One is a 24-year-old male and, despite his name, is the taller of the two bears. Berit is a 16-year-old female. She has a longer and leader body and face and sharper features than Little One. Plus her ears tend to stick out a little more. Polar bears can reproduce until about 26 years old and Berit is at a prime age for reproduction. She and Little One have been together since 2007 and are observed breeding every year, yet Berit has never had cubs. We aren't giving up yet.
In the meantime, Dr. Erin Curry has been working very hard in the CREW lab to develop a non-invasive pregnancy test for polar bears. It's important for zoos to know when their polar bears are pregnant to be able to properly care for and monitor them. It is very difficult to determine if a female polar bear is pregnant because there is a period of time between mating and implantation of about 4 to 7 months, making it extremely difficult to know if breeding successfully resulted in a pregnant female. Polar bears also go through a period called pseudo-pregnancy, in which females show an increase in progesterone level similar to that of a pregnant female, but in the end there is no cub born. Pseudo-pregnancy also occurs in otters, wolverines, red pandas and some cat species. These factors make it extremely difficult to determine if a bear is pregnant. While there is not a definitive test yet, she has multiple projects underway that look promising.
Maybe the answer can be found in feces. Feces samples are very easy to collect without requiring invasive procedures. Samples from about 55 bears from 24 different institutions across North America and Canada are sent to Dr. Curry three times a year, packed in dry ice, to research any possible chemicals that may be present in pregnant bears but absent in others. She is also examining various protein levels in the feces and has identified five proteins that are higher in pregnant bears than in non-pregnant or male bears. More research is needed and it is a very expensive test. The goal would be to develop a cost-effective and user-friendly test.
You may have heard about Elvis, the polar bear poo-sniffing dog. Elvis has been pretty successful so far in distinguishing between feces from pregnant and non-pregnant bears. Dr. Curry continues to try to determine what exactly Elvis smells that alerts him to the pregnancy. Read more about Elvis' story here.
Another way to determine if a bear is pregnant could be through an ultrasound, but conducting one on a polar bear has its challenges. Dr. Curry along with Megan-Kate Ferguson (Curator of Animal Development and Training) and the bear keepers have been working with Berit to desensitize her to being touched so she can undergo medical procedures, such as ultrasounds, without sedation. Desensitization is a process by which the animal is touched through a training wall with an instrument, such as an ultrasound probe, over a period of time as the animal becomes less reactive to it and it becomes like a routine practice. The animal is rewarded throughout the process, called operant conditioning, to associate positive rewards with being touched. As the animal becomes more used to being touched, more actions and commands are added to eventually complete the behavior necessary for the procedure. It is a multi-step process that takes time and patience to develop an animal's level of trust and comfort. Megan-Kate explains this process further in previous blog posts here.
Now that Berit is conditioned to being touched through the training wall while standing with her abdomen pressed up against it, the next step is to perform exploratory ultrasounds to find her uterus. Even though we know Berit is not currently pregnant, the ability to even find the uterus at all is important if performing ultrasounds is to become a reliable way of detecting pregnancy. Despite a polar bear's large size, the uterus is small and very difficult to find. Polar bears have two uterine horns, each of which (in a non-pregnant state) is roughly the size of a pencil.
First, Berit is called in to the training area and asked to stand up at the training wall. When she completes this, she is immediately rewarded with ground meat treats. Megan-Kate then hoses her lower abdomen down through the wall; performing an ultrasound is more successful on a wet bear because a more solid connection is made between the bear's skin and the probe. There can't be any air or space between the probe and the skin, which is difficult due to her thick, fur coat. Once Berit is sufficiently wet, Dr. Curry uses the probe to search for the uterus. A transducer on the probe emits sound waves into the body and picks up the echoes as they bounce back from organs. The ultrasound machine then translates the information into a two-dimensional image of the bear's insides that Dr. Curry interprets. During this time, Berit receives treats and constant positive reinforcement as she stands very still and calm.
On this day, Berit cooperated like a champ and Dr. Curry was able to find the bowels, but not the uterus. Maybe next time! Even so, it was a successful day of continued training with Berit.
Solving the problems facing polar bear reproduction in zoos isn't going to happen overnight, but it's an ongoing challenge that Dr. Curry and the rest of the Zoo are committed to seeing through. Learn more here.

Council OKs Congestion Pricing; AG to Probe the 'Smear Squad'
The Daily News this morning chose to highlight the City Council's passing of Mayor Bloomberg's congestion pricing proposal. This story is one where there's a matter of perspective. The News headline on page 5 blares, "MAYOR GETS HIS WAY" while the Post chooses to highlight the 30-20 vote in favor of the proposal on page 2 with "'Conge$t' barely wins council OK." The phrases "narrowly passed" and "merely squeaked" make their way into the lead and second paragraph of the Post story. The News notes it was "one of the closest votes in recent memory" in the third paragraph. The resolution now needs to go to the Albany Legislature, where things will get really interesting.
The Post's front-page story is a (well-deserved) pat on the back for yesterday's exclusive on the "State Police Smear Squad", as Gov. Paterson authorized Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to launch an investigation into the State Police. The "smear squad," according to the Post is a "renegade unit that for years secretly compiled personal information on top state officials. Paterson gave Cuomo full subpoena power for witnesses and documents related to the case. It's been long rumored that the New Jersey State Police keeps similar files on Garden State pols. This could get interesting....

Most writers maximize the opportunity to have their work published in any— and every— format.
Not Ian Williams.
The Brampton-raised author did just the opposite with his highly-acclaimed book of short stories, Not Anyone's Anything.
With increasing media attention on the "death of print", Williams made a conscious decision to compose his book using visual mechanisms that celebrates print.
And his resolution to do so, along with his stunning talent for the written word, earned him the prestigious Danuta Gleed Literary Award and its $10,000 prize.
Though he concedes that, formally, his book does translate to digital format (and it is currently available in e-book format), he suggests it doesn't bring the reader the same experience as it does in print.
Using visual arrangements to convey split narratives and embedding other interesting layouts within the structure of the stories, Williams brings a depth and dimension to the page that makes the book truly unique.
It was noted by the awards jurors, Gail Anderson-Dargatz, Robin McGrath, and Hal Niedzviecki, as "a solid first book with gripping, convincing dialogue, a fluid sense of urbanity, and structural innovation that doesn't come off as trickery. You see the poet here, in the crisp choice of language and even in the line breaks, as Williams uses typography and unusual layout to suggest a split-screen view of life. This is a brilliant collection."
The book itself is somewhat of a layered mathematical equation— it's a trio of trios, where there are three stories, each with three more stories developed within (and three of those further divided into thirds).
The plots are all inspired from Williams' own curiosities: What grotesque, barbaric lengths will a young piano player go to in order to make her fingers long enough to play Chopin? What happens when a teenager who breaks into a house finds himself trapped in the basement when the family comes home? These are the questions Williams poses, and the ensuing stories he weaves.
"It's the question of 'What if?'," Williams told The Guardian about his writing. "There's always this realm of possibility, and what happens when you push that to the limit?"
The writing, he said, is for readers "who like things to happen".
Williams, who grew up in Brampton, studied at the University of Toronto and eventually landed a job in the U.S. to teach university-level literature, has returned to Brampton making the city his permanent home once again. In the fall, he will begin teaching at Oakville's Sheridan College.
In addition to Not Anyone's Anything, has published two poetry collections. Williams is thrilled to receive the Danuta Gleed Literary Award— which singled him out as the best first English-language collection of short fiction by a Canadian author published in 2011— and it felt "very surreal" to win something.
He also adds that he's not "opposed" to digital media, and is working on a piece for e-publication, but feels this book makes a statement about the relevance and necessity of print.
Not Anyone's Anything is available at Chapters, Amazon and other book retailers. For more information on the author and his work, visit http://www.ianwilliams.ca/.

Alex Winkelmann named to NE-10 All-Rookie Team
COLCHESTER, Vt. — Saint Michael's College baseball first-year pitchers Dylan Lavery (Billerica, Mass./Billerica Memorial) and Alex Winkelmann (Gilford, N.H./Tilton School) were both named to the Northeast-10 Conference All-Rookie Team on Wednesday. This marked the third consecutive year two Purple Knights landed on the squad, as six in all have earned the laurel since the program rejoined the league in 2012.
A left-handed hurler, Winkelmann's first three appearances were out of the bullpen before he made his final five outings as a starter, completing the season with a 3-2 record and a 4.76 ERA. He walked just 10 while striking out 22 in 34 innings, yielding only five extra-base hits. During six of his eight appearances, Winkelmann allowed two earned runs or fewer. He tossed 2.1 innings of one-hit, shutout relief in his college debut versus the University of Minnesota Duluth on March 16 before drawing his initial start at regionally-ranked University of New Haven on April 5.
Over his final four games, Winkelmann was 2-1 with a 3.75 ERA, walking just five and fanning 18 in 24 innings, despite two of the starts coming against nationally-ranked Southern New Hampshire.
Saint Michael's completed the year 7-25 overall and 6-19 in the NE-10, but went 4-3 in its final seven games.

I-L pitching keeps Laconia scoreless, 5-0
MEREDITH — Inter-Lakes shut out the Sachems 5-0 on Friday afternoon, behind a complete game pitching performance from Chase Dickinson.
Dickinson held Laconia to two hits on six strikeouts and one walk, giving up a single in each of the first two innings. "Chase had great control of his second pitch," said Lakers coach Dan Curnyn. "We normally throw our starters five innings and bring in a reliever for the last two, but it was a no-brainer keeping him on the mound." Chase threw a total of 84 pitches on the evening.
The Lakers opened the scoring in the bottom of the first inning on a single from left fielder Travis Manville. Manville drove in leadoff hitter Dillon Mailand, who reached on a single to start the inning.
Inter-Lakes added four more runs in the fifth inning. Peter Ballard led the inning off with a walk, Mailand lined a shot to the Sachems shortstop who could not handle the play cleanly and everyone reached safely. The big hit came off the bat of Eamon Bean (3 for 3), who doubled and drove in a pair of runs. "It was the first time we had a team effort at the plate." finished Curnyn. The Lakers compiled eight hits on the afternoon.
Sachems starter Andrew Salta went 4⅔ innings. "Andrew pitched well," stated Laconia coach Jon Myers. "We made too many mistakes in the field." The Sachems committed five errors behind Salta. The two hits were recorded by Pat Guyer and Matt Leblanc. "We are struggling right now, but I am confident we will turn it around. This is a very talented team," ended Myers.
Laconia fell to 4-3 and hosted Newfound Sunday. The Lakers improved to 5-1 and welcomed Gilford Sunday afternoon.

Frank Simon's documentary Weekend of a Champion sounds like a dated joke: Roman Polanski, Jackie Stewart, and a cameraman walk into a bar in 1971, chatting garrulously about racing cars and the ins and outs of Formula One, with Stewart on the verge of once again winning the Monaco Grand Prix. There isn't a punch line, of course, but the results are amusing nonetheless.
Stewart, found here at the height of his prowess and celebrity, proves a rather charming and loquacious subject, long ago inured to the spotlight and thus comfortable indulging our interest with candor. And you could do much worse, as a career driver, than to have Polanski along as chronicler and companion.
A lifelong enthusiast of motor sports and then a close friend to Stewart, Polanski appears to have produced and financed Weekend of a Champion almost as a pretense for an all-access pass to the track.

But the result is a pleasure, perhaps as much for audiences as for Polanski; it's a chance to luxuriate in the atmosphere of world-class Formula One, here a lavish free-love party interrupted now and again by a few laps on the track.
In a way, Weekend of a Champion is less about the sport than the extravagant lifestyle sports stardom apparently precipitates — the tireless carousing, the inexhaustible atmosphere of celebration. Stewart and Polanski potter about Monaco like kings surveying the scope of their lands.

As a rule, supergroups are generally not all that super (Velvet Revolver, Chickenfoot, et al.). As an exception, Diamond Rugs are most excellent. A veritable Traveling Wilburys of indie rock (or better yet, a scuzzy Southern-rock Rockpile), Diamond Rugs (translated in "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"-speak as I'm-on-Drugs) features Deer Tick frontman and recent Nashville transplant John McCauley, his DT bandmate Robbie Crowell, Black Lips' Ian Saint Pé, Dead Confederate's Hardy Morris, Six Finger Satellite's Bryan Dufresne and, as an out-of-left-field wild card, Los Lobos keyboardist/saxophonist Steve Berlin.
The ragtag ensemble's self-titled debut is a loose 14-track romp through panoramic, day-drunk dirges, hung-over heartland rock and tripped-out country psychedelia, making for the one of most satisfying low-key listens of 2012. Tonight, The D Rugs make their Music City debut, and they've assembled one helluva top-shelf local-rock undercard featuring Turbo Fruits, Ranch Ghost, Denney and the Jets, and James Wallace and the Naked Light.

Treatment for
ankylosing spondylitis focuses on relieving pain and
stiffness, reducing
inflammation, keeping the condition from getting
worse, and enabling you to continue daily activities. Early diagnosis and
treatment may reduce pain, stiffness, inflammation, and deformity.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment approach for your
condition. A consultation with a
rheumatologist is often recommended, especially to
confirm the diagnosis and lay out a treatment plan. Your
family medicine physician or
internist can treat mild cases, or you may be referred
to a rheumatologist,
orthopedist, or
Initial treatment for
ankylosing spondylitis may include:
Talk with your doctor about your job. People who have
ankylosing spondylitis feel better if they stay active and exercise regularly.
So a job that is physically demanding—such as a job that requires lots of heavy
lifting—could increase your symptoms.
If initial treatment does not
sufficiently reduce the pain and inflammation linked with
ankylosing spondylitis, and as your condition
progresses, ongoing treatment may include:
Your doctor will treat complications of ankylosing
spondylitis as they occur. For example,
iritis may be treated with medicines that can help
reduce inflammation of the eye, such as
corticosteroids and
mydriatic eyedrops.
In rare
cases, you may need surgery to replace joints that are severely damaged by the
inflammation of
ankylosing spondylitis. The most common surgery done
hip replacement surgery. Spine surgery is done in a
very small number of people who have ankylosing spondylitis. If there is
loosening of the top two vertebrae in the neck and there are signs of pressure
on the spinal cord such as numbness or clumsiness in the hands or arms, a
surgeon may permanently join (fuse) the two vertebrae together. In very rare
cases, spinal surgery may be done to straighten a part of the spine that has
become severely curved, but the surgery is risky and cannot restore motion.
Because ankylosing spondylitis is a lifelong condition, other
treatment may include
complementary and alternative medicine therapies,
which can reduce symptoms, help manage pain, and improve quality of life.
Complementary and alternative medicine is the term for a wide variety of health
care practices that may be used along with or in place of standard medical
treatment. These therapies may include
yoga and
Even if your symptoms are
under control, you should see your doctor (often a
rheumatologist) every year to watch for and treat any
complications. People with hip symptoms and perhaps those whose disease started
in their teens may be at risk for a more severe progression of ankylosing

The PocketWizard 1' Remote Camera Cable & Pre-Trigger Adapter Kit from B&H is designed for use with Canon, Hasselblad, Bronica, and Contax cameras. The CM-E3-ACC-1 Pre-Trigger Remote Cable is designed for connecting a PlusX, Plus III, FlexTT5, or MultiMAX with ACC port radios to a Canon E3 remote terminal or sub miniphone (3/32" or 2.5 mm). This special remote shutter release cable functions in the same way as previous-generation pre-trigger cables, and controls both the half-press and full-press functions of your remote camera's shutter release. When a camera is pre-triggered, it is like holding your camera's shutter release button in the half-pressed or metering / focusing position.
This ACC cable allows a compatible PocketWizard radio to independently control both half-press and full-press functions. Using a CM-E3-ACC cable with a MSMM Adapter will provide the same function as a CM-E3 cable. But using a CM-E3-ACC cable with a PTMM Adapter will provide the same function as a CM-E3-P cable.
The MSMM Miniphone Adapter is designed for adapting an -ACC stereo miniphone remote camera cable to a mono miniphone cable. It can be used with a Plus II or older MultiMAX top port.

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Jordan Windle.
Congratulations to Jordan Windle on being the youngest American diver to qualify for the Olympic Trials and, undoubtedly, the youngest Grand Marshal of a Gay Pride Parade. The 13-year-old Olympics hopeful will, along with his two dads, serve as Grand Marshal of the Circle City Indiana Pride Parade, an annual festival celebrating Central Indiana's glbtq community.
The subject of a beautifully written profile in the Indianapolis Star by Neal Taflinger, Jordan Windle is both a diving phenom and an adolescent proud of his family. Indeed, the choice of Jordan and his two dads, Jerry Windle and Andrés Rodriguez, to lead the Circle City Indiana Pride Parade is part of a determined effort to emphasize glbtq families at pride celebrations this year, as Taflinger explains in a related article.
The story of Jordan and his family is inspiring on many levels. Jerry Windle, a former Navy officer, adopted Jordan, whose birth parents died when he was a baby, from an orphanage in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in 2000, when he was two years old. Windle and Jordan have recently collaborated on a children's book in which they tell their story: An Orphan No More: The True Story of a Boy: Chapter One.
Jordan's talent for diving was discovered soon after he completed the second grade in Naples, Florida. Windle had enrolled him in a summer camp at the Swimming and Diving Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale. There Jordan caught the eye of diving coach Tim O'Brien, whose father, Ron O'Brien, had coached Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis.
O'Brien saw parallels between the young Louganis and Jordan. Louganis, who has become an important mentor for Jordan, admired not only the boy's physical ability but also his emotional and intellectual maturity. "For an 8-year-old, he asked very insightful questions," Louganis said.
Shortly thereafter, Jordan transferred from a public school in Fort Lauderdale to a private academy, Pine Crest, that boasts one of the top swimming and diving programs in the country. He worked with noted diving coach Janet Gabriel at Pine Crest, and at age ten won his first Junior National Diving Championship.
But Gabriel and Louganis encouraged Windle and Rodriguez, whom Jordan calls "Papi," to relocate to Indianapolis, where Jordan could train at USA Diving's National Training Center and work with 2008 Olympic Diving Head Coach John Wingfield.
In November 2010, the family relocated to Indianapolis, and, as Taflinger explains, "quickly settled into a routine that is at once mundane and extraordinary."
Jordan trains eight to nine hours a day, six days a week at the dry-land facility and the Natatorium. When he is not working on his diving, he studies ballet and uses Pilates and weight training to improve his fitness.
Since his training regimen does not accommodate formal school settings, he attends Indiana Connections Academy, a virtual school serving about 2,500 children in Indiana.
From June 17 to 24, the family will be in Seattle, where Jordan will compete in the 2012 Olympic Team Trials. He and his teammate, Toby Stanley, will be competing in the 10-meter synchronized diving event.
Jordan is not expected to make the team this year, but many predict that he will be competing in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. As Louganis says of the Seattle trials, "This is a good setup for 2016. This is a time to learn. It's a learning process and a journey."
Jordan says that his goal is to be a member of the 2016 team and to compete in both the 10 meter platform individual and synchronized events.
Read more about Jordan at his website.
Below is an "It Gets Better" video that Jordan made in 2011.
The following is a video of Jordan diving, not quite synchronized, with Greg Louganis.

you think that just because sat radio is new technology that they only play new music. they play every type of music you can think of. so unless you listen to NO music EVER then you point is not valid. and guess what…..they even play yoko ono for people just like you.

Better get XM instead. Sirius is hurting real bad. Paying 1/2 a Billion dollars for Stern was just plain stupid. And Stern is NOT the most popular person on radio. He's washed up and a joke. Sirius is way behind XM in subscriptions. XM has well around 4.4 million+ and Sirius has 1.8 million. Sirius will never be able to recover the huge financial lose that is Stern.
Opie & Anthony are way better than Stern. And now XM has Ron & Fez to add to that. XM is alot more popular and will continue to leave Sirius in the dust. Go with the winner, go with XM. - by XM rules!!

Are you listening?
Our busy lives invite these kinds of distractions. We don't have time to just sit and listen. What's more is that we may not have time to "not" listen. Surveys show that workplace miscommunications cost an employer in more ways than one. Lowered productivity, increased turnover, and higher stress claims are just the beginning.
Here are some more reasons why taking time to listen is smart.:
Lawsuits. One study showed that patients who did not felt "heard" by their doctor frequently cited this complaint in malpractice suits. Are you listening to your clients?
Misunderstandings. Were you supposed to get back with your client or was the client supposed to get back with you? Are you sure? These misunderstandings can put a valued relationship at risk. Using effective listening skills will help you minimize these instances.
Lowered Morale. Don't alienate your top talent with poor interpersonal skills. Studies show that employees heading out the door often leave because they feel their supervisor didn't listen or had other communication problems.
Lost Respect. People want to be heard. When they perceive you are not listening, and not respecting them, they may feel that you deserve the same respect.
Kill The Idea Mill. Companies implementing employee ideas save thousands, sometimes millions, of dollars each year. If your employees think you aren't listening to their ideas, they may stop presenting them. How will you quantify how much that cost?
Now that you know why you should listen, tomorrow we'll look at what you can do to improve your listening skills.

It is never actually explained who he is or why his position of "the Guy" is so highly coveted, but whatever the case, the game's tiny protagonist, the Kid, wants to become the next Guy so badly he's willing to go through an impossibly arduous adventure in order to accomplish the task, which in the end requires confronting and defeating the Guy. When the Kid finally confronts the Guy, the Guy casually tells the Kid that he is his father, and that he killed his own father, the previous Guy, in order to get the title himself. Nonetheless, the Kid murders him anyway, and with the dark deed done, attains the title of the Guy.
