Welsch made it clear that his ruling does not apply to interactions between trainers and orcas outside of public performances.
"As the custodian of its killer whales, SeaWorld has an ethical duty to provide health and medical care to them," Welsch wrote. "Unlike show performances, which can successfully continue without close contact between the killer whales and the trainers, SeaWorld's husbandry activities require a certain amount of contact between the trainers and the killer whales."
While offering praise for SeaWorld's training program, Welsch disputed some of the company's key arguments.
"SeaWorld's contention that it was unaware working with killer whales presents a recognized hazard is difficult to reconcile with numerous comments made over the years by SeaWorld management personnel," Welsch said.
"Whether the trainers were fully immersed and swimming with the killer whales for a waterwork show performance, or standing poolside or on a slideout for a drywork show performance, SeaWorld knew its trainers were at risk for being struck or drowned by a killer whale."

Vikings re-sign WR Devin Aromashodu
The Minnesota Vikings have re-signed receiver Devin Aromashodu to a one-year deal.
The team announced the deal on Wednesday, continuing an offseason filled with low-impact signings that are geared more toward adding depth than making headlines.
In his first season with the Vikings last year, Aromashodu caught 26 passes for 468 yards and three touchdowns. He signed with the Vikings after three seasons in Chicago and was one of the team's best blocking receivers.
His best game came against Denver last December, when he had six catches for 90 yards.
Aromashodu is entering his sixth season in the NFL. The Vikings are also expected to address needs at receiver in the NFL draft at the end of April.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Firehair debuted in the pages of RANGERS COMICS, in a story in which she accompanied her father westward from Boston. The widowed man and his red-haired daughter arrived by stage in the town of Plainsville to start out on a new life. That story never mentioned the names of the pair, with her father simply refering to his daughter as "Princess." But as he bought supplies and joined a train of wagons heading out, a scoundrel named Fingers was up to no good. Fingers used a band of outlaws disguised as indians to ambush, rob and massacre the wagon train. Her father slain, the young woman who would become Firehair was injured and left for dead. But a witness to the attack was a genuine indian, Little Ax, who went over the victims and found the young woman was still barely alive. He tought she would be able to testify that it was not his tribe who attacked the wagons, so he took her back to his tribe and his father, their chief. Two Horns, the medicine man of the tribe thought Little Ax was a fool for bringing her there. She recovered from her injuries, but her memories were gone. Many of the tribe were sure she was bad luck and the tribe would be blamed for the attacks. But the tribe's leader, Chief Tehama, aggreed with his son and decided she would be allowed to stay with the tribe. She learned the ways of the tribe and soon was as fine at riding, hunting and tracking as the best of them. She was unhappy that she was expected to act like a squaw instead of a warrior. When the tribes had a pow-wow, Fingers and his gang attacked the camp to try to steal the tribe's horses, but Firehair was able to stop them. She used her tomahawk and bow skillfully, and when she disarmed one of the gang she was surprised that she seemed to know how to handle a six-gun. When the gang got back to their hideout, Fingers was worried as he had recognized the redhaired woman as the one he had left for dead at the massacre. She complained she was a witness to what they had done and would have to be taken care of. Fingers recalled that the wagon she'd been on had given up a small iron box that the gang had never gotten around to opening. The missing key had been on a sting at Firehair's neck all this time, the only momento of the life she had forgotten. They bashed open the box to find cash, jewelry and diocuments showing their was a fortune in gold and property deeds in a bank vault back in Boston. Finger's gang made another attempt on Firehair's life, but they only succeeded to grazing her mount, Devil-Eye. When she was thrown from the horse, she struck her head and regained her memory. She tracked Fingers and his gang and attacked them. In a shoot-out with the men, she got several of them before she was downed. The members of her tribe followed her and captured the remaining gang, and Little Ax was happy to see she was alive. With the recovery of her inheritance, Firehair (who finally knew she was Lynn Cabot) decided, reluctantly, that she had to go back to Boston. But as she set out, while riding a steamboat up the river she was ambushed by a band of men working for a shyster lawyer, Luke Prescitt. The man had been planning with Fingers to stael Firehair's inheritance. As they fought her, she went over the side into the river. The men had a girl who looked like Firehair, and with the documents they had taken, they were going to have the imposter file papers with the authorities to have the control of the estate turned over to the lawyer. But Firehair was saved once again by Little ax, whom the chief had sent to trail the girl and keep an eye on her. The pair went after the rascals and stopped the lawyer from pulling his scheme off with the local judge. Then Lynn Cabot went back to Boston. She didn't stay in Boston long, as she missed her friends and her life with the Dakota tribe. She returned to them and had many adventures facing trouble with greedy white men and troublemakers in other tribes. After appearing in 45 issues of RANGERS COMICS and also 11 issues of FIREHAIR COMICS (although issues 3-7 were titled PIONEER WEST ROMANCES starring Firehair). In 1952, as Fiction House was exiting the comic book field, the character came to the end of her run. An unusual outfit in the late fifties, IW-Super Comics reprinted a sampling of Firehair material, as they were in the business of releasing repackaged books they had gotten their hands on. And more recently, Bill Black's AC Comics has made some use of the character, as they have done with any number of good-girl art heroines from the past.

LETTER: Credit Bush for housing bailout

Credit Bush for housing bailout
Kevin King's letter Sunday stated the Obama administration bailed out the housing industry "to save our economy."
It was George Bush who signed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act into effect in October 2008.
The bill authorized $700 billion to be spent to buy bad mortgage related securities. This bill was not authorized under the Obama administration, but Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain did vote for the bill.

Formula One: Hamilton fastest in final practice in Monaco
Published on May 24, 2014 7:40 PM
MONTE CARLO (AFP) - Lewis Hamilton topped the times again in Saturday morning's final free practice session for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix, the Mercedes driver winding up just ahead of Australian Daniel Ricciardo in the leading Red Bull after a dramatic hour's action.
The championship-leading Briton, who was the fastest man in Thursday's opening practice sessions, clocked a best lap of 1min 16.758sec to set the pace, but only after locking up and missing the chicane on an earlier fast lap as he, and most other drivers, struggled to find perfection on the unforgiving barrier-lined circuit.
Thanks to a stunning lap, Ricciardo was only 0.050sec slower than Hamilton in his Red Bull ahead of local hero Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes who, watched by his father and former champion Keke, pushed hard, but also made a mistake.
Defending four-time drivers' champion German Sebastian Vettel was fourth in the second Red Bull ahead of two-time champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso of Ferrari and Mexican Sergio Perez and his Force India team-mate German Nico Huelkenberg.

With the Regionals season heating up, I was wondering what the official ruling would be for this particular situation?
If someone targets something to damage/capture (unit, enhancement, etc.) that cannot be damaged/captured does the originating player get to re-target something else or does he lose that action?
For example, Preparation For Battle Objective is out and the Death Star Dial is below 4 (relevant game text is " Your shielded units cannot be damaged while the Death Star dial is 4 or lower. ". My opponent attempts to Force Choke a Hoth Scout who has a shield. He forgets about the gametext and is reminded by the LS player that he cannot damage the scout. Does he then get to choose another target or is the Force Choke lost?
Note, this is for a high lvl tournament and not a friendly game.

Use a full option polling solution to get the answers you need. YOP Poll is the perfect, easy to use poll plugin for your wordpress site.
Very nice plugin. No unnecessary bloat.
Me like.
Love it, I dont have to crack my brains to understand anything.
Just fill in the table and there it appears. The templates are amazing too !!
Quite simple - this poll application works out of the box!
After installing it and experimenting with it for about thirty minutes I realized that this poll plugin is quite advanced and well thought out.
I have a commercial third party stand-alone software for polling but find the Yop polls is a much better "fit" for WordPress.
Their support forum looks very helpful.
I'm looking forward to using Yop Poll.
все отлично работает, простая настройка, спасибо разработчикам!
Плагин понравился! Просто! Удобно! Функционально! Отличный плагин!
very nice and usefull
Used on my non-profit site and adds a professional touch. Simple to use and effective.
This really is a good plugin, does everything I could ever want, and mo re!

If I were to sum it up in one sentence, I'd say that what "makes EVE so great" is that everything you do matters.
It's virtually impossible to do anything that doesn't affect other players in some way. When you buy even a unit of ammo from the market, you're affecting miners, traders, missioners, haulers, manufacturers, inventors... and everyone that depends on or is affected by those professions (ie: essentially everyone).
Other MMOs contain a certain amount of player interaction, and you're generally pretty tightly constrained in your ability to change the game experience of other players. In EVE, there is nothing but player interaction, and it's literally impossible to avoid changing the game experience of other players.

ISK is not a good measure of "godliness" in EVE. Now some players do define their success by accumulating wealth, but for the rest, ISK is not in and of itself power, but one tool which can be used to gain it. It's all very well having enough ISK to buy a Titan, but actually translating that ISK into a ship that you are able to fly and use is another matter altogether.
EVE's history is replete with stories of players who thought as you did, tried to "buy win", and ended up as a laughing stock on the forums as they got scammed or ganked out of their shiny new winmobile and the tale posted for everyone to have a good laugh at.

You're right about the laughing stock part. If you get a supercap, you have to at least know what you're doing, and how to fit one.
However, those laughing stocks with failfits who lose their supercaps are usually RMT'ers who bought their ISK with real money, carebears who cannot afford to lose the ship they just lost, or botters. In other words dumb people.
I think the definition of elite or "godliness" in this game is: if you can afford to PvP in really expensive ships that other players cannot afford, such as Supers, without the use of RMT. You also have to know what you're doing, and be able to replace it when you lose it. At the same time, you don't need to grind for your isk, all you have to do is login for 15 - 30 minutes once every other day to make all that ISK.
On a last note, losing ships is inevitable. It doesn't matter how well-fitted your Titan / Supercarrier is, or how skilled the pilot is, if you get primaried in a supercap fight you will die.
So losing a well-fit supercap in a fight, and replacing it right afterward, is nothing to be ashamed of. I think it actually looks good. Because it shows you can afford to fly it frequently, like how an average player can afford a dreadnaught. (Some alliances also offer supercap reimbursement on alliance sanctioned ops).
Yeah, because supercaps are max level.

Second, I've already downloaded and played the trial 3 years ago. I currently have a 104 million SP character, and a 65 million SP supercap alt in a major alliance, and I have the ISK to continually fly and replace expensive ships....such as supers, without the use of RMT, or having to spend hours grinding for ISK everyday.
It doesn't have to be a supercap, I can fly faction cruisers and battleships all I want.

My personal measure of success in a game is whether or not I am having fun. Matters very little to me what other players "think" of me or level of skill. it does matter to a lot of people, and its part of what makes this game entertaining for ME personally.
I am having a lot of fun in EVE, and its quite refreshing change from the theme park.
I find I can enjoy this game sometimes just by reading about the crap that goes on .. and people trying to out-godlike each other ...
Its a sandbox so, there are lots of different ways to play and different measures of success .. being able to fly expensive pvp ships probably doesnt matter to say .. and industrialist.
and being part of the biggest baddest alliance might be a measure for some, others are content hunting lone wolfs in small gangs ...
hard to measure success of different players who have different goals and definitions of "success"
On the contrary. I have read it all and carefully, I even read between the lines...

This is the biggest reason holding me back from getting into EVE. I hate multi-boxing, and the idea of paying for two accounts is ridiculous to me. I'm not sure why, I would have no problem owning two cars, or two houses if I could afford it, and I can more than afford two accounts, but just the idea of having to do it to be competitive goes against something in me.
I've toyed with the idea of just having one account and building that up until it can pay for itself with PLEX, and then starting another account. I have no idea if that would still be helpful or not, but it's the only way I could see myself doing it.
It's a shame really, I love the idea of the freedom that sandbox gameplay provides.
I can and it was done by other posters already.
I just do not feel like going through very same discussion about EVE misconceptions again and again...it gets tiring, therefore I can only encourage you try out the game for yourself...
Fly safe.
Such reason is non-sense and I would say it is very bad excuse.
You can enjoy the game with single account just fine...multiply accounts are convenience only.
Originally posted by I.Gunslinger
A second account is nice to have, but you can easily substitute having decent social skills. If you're prepared to work with others and put in some effort yourself, then a 2nd account is by no means mandatory.
A friend of mine started EVE around the same time as I did, and he's never had a second account; he was one of the team that won the last alliance tournament, a member of one of the top PvP alliances, and a really nice guy. It's perfectly possible to do what he did and engage in top level PvP with a single account. It's easier with a second account is all.

When I was 15 years old, I use to post excuses like yours when I was left speechless, and cannot come up with anything.
Someone did post that success to them is having fun, and that's a good point of view. That was done after your response, and it does not invalidate my views. (I am having fun as well, or I wouldn't be playing the game)
Another person said having a lot of isk while flying fail fits, is still fail. And I agree with that, you do have to know what you're doing. I said those fail fits are probably RMT'ers, botters, or carebears who cannot afford to lose that ship. It also does not invalidate my views.
However, you still cannot come up with a reason or example of why my views are false, and make no sense. Because if you could, you would have done it already in your previous posts. Well, here's another chance:
I think the definition of elite or "godliness" in this game is: if you can afford to PvP in really expensive ships that other players cannot afford, such as Supers, without the use of RMT.

At the same time, you don't need to grind for your isk, all you have to do is login for 15 - 30 minutes once every other day to make all that ISK.
Now I am betting you will respond and say something along the lines of "but I've already listed them, you just can't read or understand what I said, go play the game for yourself I don't have time to explain ". Without actually stating any reasons in your previous posts. Let's see if my bet is right =)

From what I've been told online (I take everything with a grain of salt of course, but when you hear the same thing over and over again it's hard not to assume it has more than a little truth) it can make all the difference. As for being social, EVE is a game that I could play maybe a couple nights a week for a few hours a piece. Not that I wouldn't play every day if I could, but job/gym/errands/etc tend to take up most of my time.
Is a few days a week for a few hours at a time enough to get in with a corp that would be willing to show me the ropes as a solo account?
Originally posted by Gdemami
You're opinions on my "excuse" notwithstanding, it is something that is, for whatever reason, a big deal to me. Even though I can afford it, the idea of having to pay for two accounts to be competitive just, I don't know the proper word, bothers me I guess. And that's the whole thing, I know that as a new player in EVE I'll be the very bottom of the barrel, but I'm worried starting as a single account will actually increase the learning curve.

I consider myself an EVE veteran. I've been playing, off and on, since August 2006. My main only has 65 million skill points. My subscription is currently in-active as of two days ago. I've had two accounts twice. Both via Power of Two promotion. My main never met, was never in the same system, never had anything to do with - my second account. It was trained up and sold via the character bazaar. I've never felt that I needed two accounts to play this game. So, if you feel that you need to pay CCP for two accounts then that's your business. Just saying that it isn't necessary.
If you want to believe that "as a new player in EVE I'll be the very bottom of the barrel", you will be.

There is a difference between negative thinking and practical thinking. Looking at the situation in a practical manner, I'll be entering a very dangerous world in which I don't know the politics, don't have a powerful ship, don't know the economy well enough to support losing a valuable ship, or have friends to back me up. Are those problems insurmountable? No, of course not. I can join a corp, learn the politics, learn the market, and buy/scam my way into a powerful ship.
And maybe I am assuming some of these things, because I don't know for sure. But then again, that's why I'm here.

The issue of locating a campus for Castaic High School dominated the agenda of the Governing Board meeting of the William S. Hart High School District.
The board received reports on the two potential sites – Hasley Sloan and Romero Canyon – from experts in cultural resources, endangered species, geologists and roads; including a significant amount of research on the abandonment of an oil well on the Romero Canyon site. The board is considering which steps to take next as they proceed toward building the much needed school, which is anticipated to house more than 2,600 students.
Biological resources discovered on the Hasley-Sloan site included the Slender Mariposa Lily and the Spadefoot Toad, which could require mitigation unless five years of surveys showed the toad was no longer living in that area.
It was noted that the Coast horned lizard and the Western Whiptail were likely to have habitat at both Hasley-Sloan and Romero Canyon, which could result in loss of 35-80 acres of habitat, a significant impact on either property. Mitigation parcels would have to be discussed. A similar situation would exist if Loggerhead Shrike and Southern California Rugous-crowned Sparrows lost their habitat to classrooms. Consultants determined that habitat at Romero Canyon was suitable for San Diego Black-tailed Jackrabbits, but not on the Hasley-Sloan property. Likewise, no badgers are expected at the Hasley-Sloan parcel, but are likely at Romero Canyon. Again, mitigation will probably be required.
Both sites would require some adjustments to meet water requirements; a bridge would have to be built over the Hasley Canyon drainage and bank protection would have to be provided at the Hasley-Sloan site and selection of the Romero Canyon site would require filling in about 2.0 acres of streambeds.
Of the two sites, Romero Canyon is a significant wildlife corridor and may require the construction of a wildlife crossing at Romero Canyon Road and habitat enhancement at the eastern tributary of Romero Canyon.
Access to each site in terms of roads were assessed by Austin-Foust Associates, who determined that, at build out and full capacity, all roads to the Romero Canyon site – I-5 offramps, Parker Road, Ridge Route Route, The Old Road and Sloan Canyon Roads would all require significant mitigation (road widening and installation of traffic signals) that might not be feasible in the short-range. Road conditions seemed slightly better for the Hasley/Sloan site; the improvement of Sloan Canyon Road between Hasley Canyon and Hillcrest Parkway would be required, along with some improvements near Commerce Center Drive and Hasley Canyon Road.
Extensive geology reports are being presented to the Board; both sites have steep terrain and several shallow landslides. The Romero Canyon site has an elevation difference of more than 650 feet across and landslide complexes where pads are designed for buildings.
Geotechnical studies were proposed, with estimates ranging from $146,000 for the Hasley-Sloan site to $233,000 for the Romero Canyon site.
A significant amount of research was completed regarding the abandonment of an oil well on the Romero Canyon property to be in compliance with various government entities. An estimate of $496,000 was given from one company to complete the capping and cleanup process and two other estimates, one $50,000 and another $196,000 for handling/monitoring the abandoned well.
Board members will have a lot to consider to move this project forward; KHTS will provide an update on Thursday after the board meeting.

My question would be what else do you run while gaming? I can see the scenario where you run torrents in the background would cause your pings to spike, but at the NIC level I don't see where you'll gain a whole lot with QoS. If I'm playing a game just about everything else is shut off so the only traffic would be game traffic. The biggest issue I could see is when someone else in your house fires up Hulu or netflix and then all of the sudden you're competing for bandwidth with someone else on the same network. This would be where QoS would be much more useful.
The one scenario I could really see where one of these NICs would improve network traffic is if your CPU is loaded down causing a delay before packets can be sent or replied to. On a single or dual core system with a game that can tax both cores it might be possible for that to occur.

^ On the contrary many times I seen a mysterious thing. Few boys (especially less than 15 years old) playing cricket in street while important matches going on TV. Yesterday I have seen 2 boys playing with a stick and something like "ball" while the match is going well on TV. They don't care about watching cricket but involved very much in their own on wrong times!

Should Recreational Marijuana Be Legal In Michigan?
Whether you partake or not, for medical reasons or not, do you think Michigan is ready to legalize recreational marijuana use?
Whether you partake or not, for medical reasons or not, do you think Michigan is ready to legalize recreational marijuana use?
Just eight years after medical marijuana hit the books in Michigan, plans for full, statewide legalization will be put to a vote in 2016.
A local attorney who pushed to get a ballot initiative to relax the city's law on possession of marijuana before voters is expected to file a request for a recount this week.
You just might get your chance to vote on the November ballot!
How do you stop a thieving pothead from stealing a sign with the infamous number 420? Just ask the Colorado Department of Transportation.
Although they're considered to be one of the definitive bands for head-exploring stoners, Deep Purple weren't really ones to partake in the sweet leaf, according to lead singer Ian Gillan. In a new interview, he reveals that his personal discovery of marijuana didn't begin until he was well into his career.
Just because it's legal to do it on your own time in Colorado, doesn't mean you can drug your whole class. Two University of Colorado students in Boulder thought it would be funny to bring pot brownies to a morning class to share. Then a bunch of people who ate them had freak-
outs. Suddenly it was not so fun.
Like most medical marijuana dispensaries, Granny Purps in Soquel, CA sometimes struggles with an image problem. While it genuinely believes it's helping people, pot remains illegal at the federal level and the "stoner" culture often stigmatizes what is otherwise a legitimate operation.
However, Granny Purps is trying to redeem itself in the eyes of the public. For the second year in a row, it's feeding the less-fortunate by offering an unusual trade — one free joint for every six cans of donated food.
According to a new Gallup poll, 50 percent of American adults favor legalizing marijuana, the highest percentage in Gallup's 42-year history of asking that question. Forty-six percent of Americans believe marijuana should remain illegal.
People who smoke pot once a week are about 25 percent less likely to be obese than non-smokers.
According to a study by French researchers, marijuana smokers have a 16 percent rate of obeseity, whereas those who don't partake enjoy a rate of obesity between 22 and 25 percent.

While Autoblog was busy checking out the new Rogue, Grand Caravan, SRT4 and C30, everybody else at the recent South East Automotive Media Organization ride and drive was apparently loving on Mazda's CX-9. Out of a possible 100 points, journalists at the event gave the SUV a score of 91, putting it way ahead of the 32 other vehicles from which to choose.
The contenders were rated on attributes that included safety, capacity, accessibility, value, amenities, ergonomics, NVH and styling. Personally, as both a family man and a member of the automotive media, my vote went to the new Dodge Caravan overall. It definitely loses out to the CX-9 on looks, but as a kid-hauler, it obviously ruled in all other categories. So how does a minivan with dual DVD players, seating for seven, a fold-away table, hookups for video games and wireless headphones lose to an SUV with many of the same options, but costs as much as $8,000 more?
After driving each car at the event, journalists were asked to submit their ratings for the vehicle on all the above attributes. We were told by someone in the know that Autoblog's rating sheet was one of very few submitted for the Caravan. Which means it didn't get driven a whole lot. We're not suggesting any wrongdoing, just saying that a bunch of automotive journalists with limited time and miles of twisty roads to drive will rarely choose a relatively slow and ugly minivan over a sleek, luxury-like SUV. Unless their boss, (that's you, John) asks them to.
Hey, John, next time, dang it, I'm driving the R32 instead of the Rogue and the CX-9 instead of the Caravan.

Charlotte, NC - The South East Automotive Media Organization (SEAMO) recently honored the 2008 Mazda CX-9 with the inaugural "Family Car of the Year Award" during the group's sixth annual media ride and drive event, held at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia.
"We are honored to receive this inaugural award from journalists in the southeast," says Dave Sweet, group manager, Product Strategies, Mazda North American Operations. "The CX-9 3.7L is our newest and most exciting vehicle that combines the utility of a family vehicle with seating for seven, and the power and 'zoom-zoom' of a sports car. With a new blind spot monitoring system for 2008, we know that families and fun seekers will enjoy the ride while benefiting from the many safety features. Family cars should be a joy to drive and this award demonstrates that fun and functionality make a winning combination."
Engineered with Mazda's "Soul of a Sports car" DNA, CX-9 deftly blends sporty driving spirit with seven-passenger sport-utility vehicle (SUV) practicality. For 2008, CX-9 reaches a higher level of performance with a new standard 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine, resulting in 10 more horsepower (273) and 21 additional lb-ft of torque (270) compared to 2007.
From among a pool of 33 available test-drive vehicles, attending journalists from the south east region submitted a total of 97 ballots to select the top family-friendly vehicle. Vehicles were judged on family friendliness through eight categories: safety, capacity, accessibility, value, amenities, ergonomics, NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) and styling. A maximum score of 100 points could be awarded for each ballot.
Tom Kelley, SEAMO's Executive Director, said "while there are dozens of 'Car of the Year' awards out there, the family car segment has yet to gain an appropriate level of attention, so the creation of SEAMO's 'Family Car of the Year Award' was long overdue. The 2008 Mazda CX9 stood out from an impressive field of competitors to exemplify what SEAMO members consider to be the most important attributes of a great family car."
To determine the vehicle's final score, points from each ballot cast for the vehicle were averaged and then the average score was weighted with one additional point for each ballot cast for the vehicle. The 2008 Mazda CX-9 took top honors with a final score of 91 points.
Founded in 2001, SEAMO's membership includes the Southeast's top automotive journalists, along with regional and national marketing representatives from all of the mainstream automotive brands. In addition to conducting the Family Car of the Year Award program, SEAMO is also the host organization for the North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards.
Headquartered in Irvine, Calif., Mazda North American Operations oversees the sales, marketing, parts, accessories and customer service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico through nearly 900 dealers.Operations in Canada are managed byMazda Canada Inc., located in Ontario, Canada, and in Mexico byMazdaMotor de México in MexicoCity.

As a yacht owner in greece, I feel I must agree with Peter, and further add a few little know facts about Greek Charter companies.
Over 80% of greek charter companies do not own there own yachts but, lease them from private greek owners, who at best are useing them for investment/revenue purposes, and therefore have little interest in maintenance etc.... hence the attitude "sail them hard and put them away wet".
2 Greek charter companies charter up to 30% commission from the owners for business. Leaving the owners the crumbs at the end of the day, no wonder they do not keep there boats up to parr.
3. The recent world troubles, 9/11, iraq war, have but many greek charter companies in big finacial trouble, why?
The greek charter companies have contracts agreeing to pay the owners a set fee evry year for use of the yachts, regardless of weather they go out on charter or not. After last years 9/11 disaster where many yachts remained tied to the dock, the companies find them selves owing on last years contracts and look like owing even more as a result of the Iraq war.
4. In general it is best to go with NON Greek run charter companies, small to meduim sized operations where the owners run there own yachts. examples being, Exas, Odyessey, Sea Trek, Navigare and Chandler Yachts.
These companies are run by Non Greeks, who understand the desperate need for quality service.
5. As a warning compaines to avoid at all costs, GPSC,GM Yachting, MG Yachts, Sun Yachting, Atheanian yachts, Kavas, but to name a few of the more nortourios

Using the ruse of offering a loan of Rs. 10 lakh, a group of fraudsters duped a city-based businessman of Rs 20,000.
In his complaint to the Vidyaranyapura police on July 27, the victim, Chandrashekharan, said he received a call on his mobile from a woman identifying herself as Reshma, an executive from a private bank.
After enquiring about Chandrashekhar's background, Reshma offered him a personal loan of Rs. 10 lakh and took his details, including his residential address, and said she would send one of the executive for further formalities.
Two days later, a man approached him asking him to submit photocopies of the required documents including his address proof, TIN number and five blank cheques duly signed by him.
He left assuring the businessman that it would take at least 15 days for the loan to be released.
After a few days, Chandrashekharan tried to call Reshma, but the number was out of reach. After trying a few times, Chandrashekharan on suspicion checked his account. To his shock, he found that Rs 20,000 had been deducted from his account. The fraudsters used one of his bank cheques to withdraw the money, the police said.

People power, transparency keys to inclusive growth, WB chief says
popular .
For the Philippines to achieve inclusive growth, it must build on the foundations of "people power" through government reforms, civil society participation and social safety nets, World Bank Group president Robert B. Zoellick said in a statement.
"The People Power revolution of 1986 opened an opportunity," said Zoellick, who arrived in the Philippines on Tuesday. The multilateral agency said the visit was aimed at strengthening the bank's partnership with the Philippines as it pursues reforms to improve governance and to overcome poverty.
Under the theme "Making Growth Work for the Poor," the World Bank Group has been supporting the Philippine Development Plan. The multilateral agency said that as of September this year, it has a total commitment of more than $2 billion, with an additional $185 million from its private sector arm, the International Finance Corp.
Zoellick's visit to the Philippines comes almost a month after President Aquino gave a speech during the Annual Meetings of the World Bank-IMF in Washington, DC, outlining his moves to boost good governance and accountability to benefit the poor.
"The World Bank shares the view that fighting corruption and boosting transparency are vital to development," Zoellick said. "We know corruption is a drag on the economy, taxes the poor, and strangles opportunity, so I am looking forward to seeing firsthand and learning from some of the reforms President Aquino has put in place to improve governance."
The focus on good governance could help boost economic growth as better governance would improve the investment climate as well as help ensure efficient public spending, he said.
While in the Philippines, Zoellick will meet President Aquino and the country's economic managers. Zoellick will also meet with leaders and representatives of civil society organizations as well as the private sector.
A strong and engaged civil society could also combine with transparency and good governance to make for more resilient societies and stronger, more inclusive growth, Zoellick said.
The World Bank president will also visit a poor community to meet with people benefiting from the government's conditional cash transfer program "Pantawid Pamilya," which provides families with cash if they send their children to school and comply with health checks.
Launched in 2008 with support from the World Bank, the program has benefited about 2.2 million households that include 6 million children up through age 14.

One of the college coaches talking to my son says the most talented players at his college are not on his team, because they were so burned out from all the hours on the court as a junior, being forced to play, and not enjoying tennis now that they have a choice. He thinks my son playing high school basketball is great, both for the cross training, and not being so focused just on tennis. I do admit though that my son is the only talent on his high school team, and the coach just has him practice with me after I get off work. During tennis season (fall sport here), he practices with the basketball team, and then meets me at the courts when I get in from work. The high school team is wrapping up practice, and we will be out there another 2 hours. Of course he would not do that is there was anyone else for him to practice with that could give him a workout. Basketball coach wants him year round, and the tennis coach is just happy to have him on the team.
It's great that your son is able to play both tennis and basketball and this shows how much he loves the game of tennis
. I was so surprised to find out that Christian Appleman, Yale tennis assistant coach, actually managed to play 4 years of varsity tennis and basketball for the Nittany Lions
