It's time for this weeks fishing report for local lake and saltwater enthusiasts:
Freshwater Report:
1) Castaic Lake….The largemouth bass bite really picked up this past week; and one lucky angler landed a nine pounder! There's still an occasional stiped bass showing. Try the Coves and Kong Island. Slow for other species.
2) Pyramid Lake….Still some fair trout fishing. The best area remains the Marina. Also there's a few striped bass being caught in the one to four pound size. Everything else is slow.
3) Lake Piru….Some bass are biting in the one to four pound class. But, other than that, it's more of the same….. fishing , not catching situation.
4) Lake Cachuma….Trollers working the Santa Cruz Bay are still nabbing a few trout. Some large crappie to be had, as well. The bass bite has slowed since last week.
Saltwater Report:
Landings from Long Beach to MarinaDelRey:
Mostly full limits of tasty sculpin with a few bass to go with. There's also plenty of lil sanddabs for anglers wanting to fish for them. Long Beach Sportfishing has been getting quite a few halibut lately for the "Pot O Gold" tournament.
Oxnard/Ventura Landings:
Landings up here are ready and excited about the opening of rockfish season on Thursday, March 1st! It will once again be legal to keep rockfish, lingcod, sheephead and ocean whitefish in a few days. This past week it was sanddabs and more sanddabs and few anglers. All that changes starting Thursday!
…..until next week, this is Halibut Hal signing off for KHTS-1220AM, your Hometown Station.

When data collide.
So what are home prices doing? Are they increasing, decreasing or staying relatively constant? The answer depends on which measure is used.
Fortunately, over time and within a reasonable range, the trends tend to be generally similar. But in the short run, they can often be divergent.
Home Price Measurement Methods
Several home price sources receive the majority of attention and reporting. These sources measure price trend data in different ways with sometimes widely differing results. There is no official nationwide home price reporting system (as is true for most real estate and housing-related series). States differ substantially in required sales reporting, so all of the measures are limited in one way or another, with little or no segmentation by the type, purpose or nature of the transactions or by variations in property characteristics.
Over the years, two primary methods of measuring home price trends have evolved. The simplest method uses the rate of change in the average or median price of current sales to measure trends. Usually, this method is tied to sales reported through a local multiple listing service (MLS) and may be defined by price per square foot, by local geography, by new versus existing home sales or some other property characteristic, depending on data availability. The National Association of Realtors (NAR), and the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, report average and median prices for sales occurring through a local MLS. The Census Bureau reports median and average prices for new homes.
The second most common method is by matched-pair repeat sales. This technique requires an extensive database of properties over a long period (perhaps decades) and measures the change in price or appraised value of the same property each time it is sold or refinanced. Percent change is computed based on the elapsed time between events or by the change in a computed price index.
Both techniques have advantages and disadvantages. Both rely on the accuracy and scope of current sales reported and the extent of data about the property and the transaction. Distressed sales, foreclosure sales and other non-arm's-length transactions can affect either measure's overall effectiveness. For these reasons analysts typically edit the sales data in an attempt to achieve greater accuracy and consistency.
The change in average or median price is simpler and easy to understand but suffers from its dependency on the nature of current sales and market conditions. During a given period, sales could be dominated by lower- or higher-priced properties or by new versus existing properties. Sales could be concentrated geographically or unduly influenced by any number of other temporary conditions to give a misleading indication. Such conditions might include:
* a short-term interest rate drop,
* builders offering major concession, or
* a simply coincidental higher number of sales in a specific price range.
Each period (typically a month or quarter) is reported independently so a true trend can be discerned only after several periods.
An aggregate average or median price also fails to reflect potential differences within submarkets. New homes, for example, may have a higher or lower average or median price (or price per square foot) than existing homes and, more significantly, may be trending in a different direction or at a different rate. Homes in one geographic area may be increasing in value while in another area values may be falling. In today's complicated mortgage market, higher-priced homes relying on Fannie Mae-nonconforming conventional financing may trend differently than modest- or low-priced homes that rely on conforming loans.
Home price indexes similarly have technical and data problems that affect their reliability. Indexes are more complicated mathematically and often difficult to interpret. While the repeat sale technique theoretically accounts for qualitative differences by measuring the change in the price of the same property, the longer the time between sales, the greater the probability of a real difference in the property.
Further, an index that relies on appraised values from refinancing introduces potential inaccuracy from the appraisal process. Obviously, the repeat sales method does not include new home sales and also does not include differences by location, age, size or other market dynamics unless separate indexes are estimated.
Primary sources of home price trend information are:
* Local Realtor Associations (and the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University)
* National Association of Realtors (NAR)
* Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Home Price Index (HPI)
* Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Home Price Index
* U.S. Census Bureau
* Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) Conventional Mortgage Home Price Index (CMHPI)
* National finance companies (First American CoreLogic, for example)
All sources (Table 1) offer realistic price change indications but are limited by their methodology or data included.
Local MLSs and NAR report the average and median prices of sales from the previous month. Some local services provide average and median prices by type of property, age of property or some other characteristics; others do not.
NAR reports condo sales separately as well as a composite by region. The data do not differentiate sales by type of financing or other characteristics of the property, such as by buyer and seller motivations or by the nature of the transaction.
Most large, local listing services provide price data by geographical area, either zip code or local MLS areas defined by the local association. Changes in average and median prices give a general indication of the trend in home values, but this measure relies completely on the composition of the properties that happen to sell during the period covered. Also, reported closings typically occur 30 to 60 days after the agreement to sell is signed, which is when the price was agreed upon.
The FHFA HPI is a broad measure of the movement of single-family house prices. The HPI is a weighted, repeat-sales index, meaning that it measures price changes in repeat sales or refinancing on the same properties. The data are obtained from repeat mortgage transactions on single-family properties whose mortgages have been purchased or securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac since January 1975. The FHFA HPI does not include any FHA- or VA-financed bornes.
The S&P/Case-Shiller Index is similar to the FHFA index but samples different sales data and edits the sales to eliminate prices believed to not reflect market value or to contain obvious or suspected data errors. The FHLMC CMHPI and the First American CoreLogic HPI employ a similar repeat sales technique applied to their specific sales data set. The website for each index provides extensive explanations and descriptions of the statistical techniques employed. Data and home prices included in each source are shown in Table 2.
Current U.S. and Texas Home Price Trends
At the national level, there is little question that home prices have declined significantly for more than a year. The most recent indices, the NAR March median price, the S&P/Case-Shiller Index, the FHFA purchase-only index and the First American Index indicate overall declines of 14.9 percent, 19.1 percent, 7.1 and 12.6 percent, respectively (Table 3). The NAR 12-month moving average, which removes seasonality from the monthly median price data, indicates an 11.3 percent decline in U.S. home prices. The NAR monthly decline may be overstated as the median price measures include a substantial amount of foreclosure activity (as much as 45 percent according to some reports).
Unlike FHFA, which covers the entire country and reports the smallest decline, the Case-Shiller Index includes only 20 major metropolitan areas, most ofwhich experienced the brunt of the housing turmoil (markets where the boom was greatest and the bust has been the deepest), and therefore tends to depict the greatest variation in the total change.
In Table 3, the price change data also vary considerably for Texas. The most recent data suggest that Texas home prices are changing at an annual rate somewhere between -2.8 percent and +2.7 percent. The short-term (monthly) data suggest generally falling home prices as measured from fourth quarter 2008.
Results for major Texas metro areas are also mixed. The current median prices reflect overall decline, but the index values from FHFA, First American and FHLMC are more favorable, with generally positive value changes. The Case-Shiller Index value for Dallas (the only Texas city included) showed the largest annual decline at -5.6 percent.
Recent median prices from NAR and local real estate associations include a substantial number of foreclosure and distress sales, which may account for the significant percentage declines in the reported medians. The price indexes measured by First American, FHLMC and FHFA, however, are not as susceptible to foreclosure and distress sale data and therefore look far more positive.
As the data for Texas and its metro areas reveal, there is no single measure or source of home price changes that is right or wrong. The alternative sources use different data and measure change in different ways to address the changes in the market. As markets experience more pronounced short-term changes, the various measures will vary by greater amounts.
At times one particular market circumstance may render one technique more or less meaningful than another, but over time they do tend to come together. For example, since 1990, the percentage change in the Texas median price and the reported percentage change in the FHFA HPI have both been around 4.1 percent per year.
The Takeaway
Tracking trends in home prices is a challenge because methods of measuring price changes differ widely. Some methods track only new homes sales, while others track both new and existing homes. Some do not include distressed property sales. In the end, results of any one method may be skewed.

Maple wood is processed into vertically laminated cores, creating the solid foundation of all our skis. Each core is CNC machined in-house to define a precise flex pattern. The end-grain of the core is protected by UHMW tipfill while the sidewalls expose maple's natural beauty. Linseed oil is applied for further enhancements. For more sidewall info, check this blog post.
Building on our core strength, we layer triaxial fiberglass both above and below, with strips of unidirectional carbon on the bottom layer. This adds pop and increases the strength-to-weight ratio.
The sliding surface is the finest 4001 sintered UHMW base you can find. All our bases are black with coloured die-cut logos, making them simple, fast and more durable than the clear sublimated bases that are popular throughout the industry.
Our steel edges are hardened, sandblasted and primed for bonding, using Kevlar at the end to reinforce and tie into the ski. You won't find edges on our tips and tails as they add unnecessary weight and are in an area that's prone to delaminating.
To bond everything together we bring in Super Sap resin. Entropy Resins exchanges petroleum for renewable plant-based carbon with no compromises, helping us produce great skis with a lower environmental impact. We also use rubber to improve bonding between the dissimilar materials.
The skis are finished and protected by the most durable, chip-resistant nylon topsheet you can find. Essential when you have a collection of amazing artists' hard work to show off.

Cup all but out of reach for Americans
Updated: September 18, 2004, 10:49 PM ETAssociated Press
BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- The Americans' comeback was short-lived. The next one will have to be the biggest ever for them to win the Ryder Cup.
Backed by the clutch performance from its English rookies and reliable play from Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood, Europe put the United States in another huge hole Saturday by taking an 11-5 lead and making victory Sunday seem like a mere formality.
Europe looked like it might get swept in the morning, but

Belle Corp.'s net jumps to P777.7M
popular .
Leisure estate and gaming firm Belle Corp.'s first-quarter net profit soared by nearly 15 times year on year as it started collecting rental income from Macau casino operator Melco Crown ahead of the 2014 opening of its integrated casino project in Pagcor City.
Belle reported P777.77 million in net profit attributable to equity holders of parent for the first three months, up from only P52.47 million a year ago.
Three-month revenue surged to P1.17 billion from only P96.94 million a year ago, buoyed mainly by the P949.61 million in rental paid by Melco for the Belle Grade complex up to February 2013.
The structure for phase 1 of the Belle Grande project, which houses the main podium and six hotel towers, was turned over to Melco Crown for fit-outs and finishing in March. Belle expects to turn over to Melco Crown on or before the first quarter of 2014 the structure for phase 2, which will feature a family entertainment center and a night club in a dome-like structure to be called "Fortune Egg."
In the meantime, Belle booked revenues from sales of real estate and club shares amounting to P107.96 million, up from P79.75 million a year ago.
Belle expects to generate about $35 million a year in annual rental earnings from the operation by Melco of Belle Grande until full completion.
During the first full year of operations in 2015, Belle expects to collect rental fees of about P1.5 billion, which will be on top of its share of rental revenues.
Citing consistent profitability, Belle posted consolidated retained earnings of P1.67 billion as of end-March.—Doris C. Dumlao

Hunk and a Half
These were my first pair of climbing shoes and they have served me very well for the last 9 months on every type of rock in America and in the gym. I can wear these all day with minimal discomfort and after 2-4 days of climbing a week they are just beginning to show the need for repair or replacement. I wear a size 10.5 wide street shoe and settled on a 43, though 42.5 would have been good after they streched out (but probably not as comfortable). My 2 climbing buddies bought the same pair with me while on a crosscountry trip and we all learned a lot fast in these things, definitely recommend to a beginner or as a tough backup for the gym.
This is the first climbing shoe I've owned, and I'm happy. To be clear: it's pretty bold and ugly, but those don't matter as much if it means you don't want to cut off your feet after a few hours on the wall. Good grip, very adjustable, etc.I found that I needed a half-size larger than I'd expected, but your mileage may vary.
These are my first pair of climbing shoes and they're just what I needed. I primarily use them for bouldering (indoor and outdoor) and they've been working great. They're wicked comfortable and I almost never have to take them off in between climbs like some of my friends do. Other than this shoe being decently ugly, it's a sweet choice if you're looking to get into climbing!
I bought these for my teenager and his bouldering skill immediately improved. They were comfortable enough for him to have on during an entire bouldering session at the gym (which is more than I can say for my shoes). While not a super aggressive shoe, he was able to climb at a higher grade than he previously had. Sadly, he's outgrown them already. His replacements aren't as good so we will be looking for these in a larger size when he needs new shoes.
These shoes fit the foot well which is great for rock climbing! I have been using them in both the gym as well as outdoors and have not had an issue with them yet. They are both easy to put on and take off and don't tend to stink up too quickly which some rock climbing shoes can.
I'm not the most experienced climber, in fact, this is my first personal shoe. But I do this gym climbing/bouldering thing a few days a week. I actually get paid for it.I've been using our wall shoes for a while, which are La Sportiva. So when it came down to these or the Defy, I landed here because of my experience with this brand. I also wasn't sure how the synthetics would fit, but had a good idea how these would size up. My street shoe is between a 9 and 9.5 (that's 9.25 for the math junkies), so I got these in a 8.5 and they fit perfectly. Ok, little tight, but I'm sure they'll stretch.They're actually pretty comfortable. Not super aggressive, so I can wear them a while. Rubber is sticky enough for my climbing adventures. Just don't be a rookie and soccer kick the wall every step and they'll last.
I'm a newb but I've tried on enough shoes to know these guys are comfy compared to evolvs. They have a boxier toe so your no constantly wrapping your toes. I can go an hour to two without taking off my shoes, the Velcro is nice for when I do have to rest my feet though. These shoes do heel hooks and smears well. The only thing bad I can say is the back of the shoe kinda rubs the back of my foot. BUY THESE SHOES
These are the shoes I pick up for when I head to the gym, which as of lately has been very often since winter this year SUCKS!I have skinny feet with a kind of high arch. I wear a size 10US and I get a full size down which is a 42 in the Euro sizing. I have been wearing these for a while and love them for my indoor climbs. The rubber is pretty sticky and the Velcro system works like a charm. They are as comfy as climbing shoes are supposed to be, and last pretty well. I have never climbed outside with them, so not sure how they would perform out there, since I use the Miura with laces outside, but really anything is better than a rental shoe, so if you are new to the sport I highly recommend these or the Evolv Defy, and 5.10 Rogue. This last pair I bought, I got from the Moose Jaw in KC down on the Plaza, sales guy was very nice and got me what I wanted, so I recommend to go into the store and try a pair on. Then GET TO CLIMBING!
These were my first shoe, and they lasted through a season of terrible footwork. I sent them in to get resoled, and they came back as good as new. The rubber is not as sticky as the Solutions or Miuras, but they handle warm up routes well.
For the price the tarantula is the best starter shoe on the market. I would recommend sizing down one full size or even a half more from your street shoe. The Velcro straps are awesome and are able to be synch down very tight for a perfect fit.
I got these as my first climbing shoe and liked them for that purpose. They fit good on my foot and wear in decently enough. The rubber on the tour box wore out faster for me because of how much I climb so for me that was a con, but that would discourage me from suggesting them to anyone to at least try out. You'll really only see performance issues on more technical climbing...maybe. I would say they are a good show for a good price.

Everyone, We Need To Talk About The Mutant Earless Bunny
He's adorable, right? Well, uh…he was adorable. WARNING: Don't scroll past the second photo if you don't want to sob and/or laugh in horror. This has a very, very unhappy ending. Just stop at the second photo and live in blissful ignorance.
1. This is a photo of Til, the cutest lil' mutant you ever did see. It was taken yesterday at a German zoo, mere hours before Til was to hold a news conference announcing his adorableness to the world.
2. Here is another photo of Til, a rising star in the German mutant rabbit scene. Again, taken just yesterday and right before his entrance to the international stage.
3. And here was the headline that greeted the world this morning. The squeamish (and squeemish) may want to avert their eyes.
The whole, sad story…if you must.
BERLIN (AP) — An earless baby bunny that was a rising star on Germany's celebrity animal scene had his 15 minutes of fame brought to an abrupt end when he was accidentally stepped on by a television cameraman.
The fate of 17-day-old Til, a bunny with a genetic defect, was plastered across German newspapers on Thursday, the same day a small zoo in Saxony was to have presented him to the world at a press conference.
The cameraman told Bild newspaper he hadn't seen Til, who had buried himself in hay, when he took the fateful step backward Wednesday.
Zoo director Uwe Dempewolf tells Spiegel magazine Til didn't suffer: "It was a direct hit."

Christian Nahas | February 24, 2014 | Comments
Marketing automation has come a long way. In the hands of the right operator, today's tools are incredibly powerful. And therein lies the rub - in the hands of the right operator.
Marketing automation has come a long way. It started with mail merge systems for direct mail, automated fax systems, and then email marketing. These systems then paved the way for lead scoring, segmentation, tracking, and engagement tools. In the hands of the right operator, today's tools are incredibly powerful. And therein lies the rub - in the hands of the right operator.
Two weeks ago, I got an email pitch from a staffing agency with the subject line, "Overcoming the Shortage of Marketing Automation Talent." The email went onto say, "When it comes to marketing automation, the talent shortage is dramatic..." My interest piqued, I read on.
The second paragraph laid out just how they plan to address this shortage of talent - take a proven marketer (logical start) and pair them with a Georgia Tech database/technical expert to create a duo able to deliver complete marketing automation solutions.
What? It takes a technical degree from one of the leading engineering schools in the nation to run a marketing automation tool? When did that happen? How did that happen? Somewhere along the way marketing automation tools got complex. Really complex.
Providers of marketing automation technology raced to deliver feature after feature in an effort to win customers with the most feature-rich solution. The end result of this feature war is marketing automation systems that have more features than most marketers will ever need presented in a fashion that, apparently, requires an advanced engineering degree to get the value out of. We can do better.
Like many technologies before it, marketing automation started simply and got complex over time. There was no grand plan to be complex. The plan was to be robust. The result was, as marketing industry analyst David Raab reported in a blog from January 2013, marketing automation and lead nurturing are the only two inbound marketing tactics where the difficulty score was significantly higher than the effectiveness score. It doesn't have to be that way.
Robust and complex are not synonymous and simple and powerful are not mutually exclusive. We have the technology and we can do better. We can deliver robust, powerful, simple solutions to marketers that don't require an engineering degree to run.
The next wave of marketing automation will be smart. Complex manual tasks like lead scoring will become automated for the marketer. The marketing automation solution will actually tell the marketer and the sales person exactly who the hottest leads are. This information is based on each lead's profile and how that profile matches every lead the company has won and lost over time.
Automated lead scoring will revolutionize marketing automation software as complex systems give way to powerful tools that deliver simple, actionable solutions to marketers and salespeople. Marketers will rightfully expect smart solutions that learn the buying behaviors of a company's most profitable customers and constantly score each new lead against those behaviors.
Automated lead scoring is just the beginning of smart marketing automation. There are prescriptive nurture designs that offer campaign suggestions based on what is working rather than a marketer's best guess. Also, smart social nurturing functionality that separates the social signal from the mountains of social noise and nurtures those signals into leads directly in the platform where they were found.
Each of these concepts shares a common theme - they take the guess work out of marketing automation. They take complex concepts and deliver powerful solutions simply. They learn and get smarter over time and, ultimately, they remove barriers to widespread adoption of marketing automation tools.
By many accounts, marketing automation tools have less than 10 percent adoption in the technology market (and less than 3 percent outside of the market). Perhaps this low adoption rate is due to most marketers not having the engineering degrees required to run these systems.
We have the ability to deliver solutions that learn what the marketer needs instead of asking a marketer to learn what the solution needs (or hire an engineer to run it). Not only do we have the ability, these concepts are becoming a reality and they are the basis for what will be the future of marketing - smart marketing automation.

The Army, Navy, and Air Force baseball programs have been forced to stop fall competitions with the federal government shutting down all intercollegiate activities at the service academies. This weekend's football games between Navy and Air Force and the Army at Boston College are both unlikely to happen unless the government shutdown is resolved in the very near future.

Have you ever been robbed? In December of 1989, just before Christmas, I returned home from college one afternoon to find our back door standing wide open. It had been kicked in by thieves who had robbed our home and the home of my aunt and uncle down the road. All of our Christmas presents and many valuable things had been stolen from us. We were devastated. Needless to say, the burglars did not give us any warning that they were coming.
That's just how the Bible describes the second coming of Christ in judgment. Continue reading

The concrete floors and steel beams are in place and the glass walls are being installed on a four-story building at the edge of UC Irvine. In a year, Orange County's first university-based eye institute is slated to debut, opening the doors to what some say is an unprecedented convergence of local patients, the university's researchers and doctors and the region's eye Technology industry.
The goal of the Gavin Herbert Eye Institute: "Eliminate blindness by the year 2020," said Dr. Roger Steinert, institute director.
It's an ambitious mission that donors – both individuals and companies – are watching keenly.
Just as a laser beam can resurface a cornea to enable people to see clearly, the institute has the potential to alter the landscape of eye care and ophthalmology-related technologies and nurture innovation, according to benefactors such as Gavin S. Herbert, founder and chairman emeritus of Irvine-based Allergan Inc. Herbert said he initiated the conversation about creating such an institute decades ago with UCI officials and eye technology industry executives. In 2007, he backed the idea with money and, together with his mother, Josephine Gleis, provided the initial naming gift for the institute.
"Orange County happens to have what may be the largest concentration of eye technology companies in the world, with at least two dozen companies focused on vision," Steinert said. "That is a unique strong point for the institute." There already is synergy between the Business sector and the school of medicine's eye-related research, and that's expected to grow in the new building, Steinert said.
Abbott Medical Optics (AMO) in Santa Ana, NeoMedix in Tustin, ReVision Corp. in Lake Forest and Alcon Laboratories Inc. in Irvine as well as philanthropists have pledged and donated up to $29.5 million toward a $37 million campaign for establishing the institute. Executives of major eye care companies are on the fundraising steering committee, among them, Jim Mazzo, president of AMO, Scott Whitcup, executive vice president of Allergan Inc., and William Link, formerly CEO of Chiron Vision, now co-founder of Versant Ventures, a venture capital firm.
To date, the institute is completely funded by private philanthropy.
According to Steinert, the new building will embody the School of Medicine's motto: Discover. Teach. Heal. It will house research labs, clinics, patient exam and waiting areas, an optical shop, faculty offices, conference spaces and an outpatient surgery center with its own entrance. The interiors will include features recommended by the Braille Institute to make it easier for low-vision patients to find their way through the building.
In effect, the building will bring together nearly everything that's eye-related to UCI under one roof.
The institute will address research on the retina and cornea and treatments for conditions such as cataracts – cloudy areas in the eye lens, glaucoma – which results from damage to the optic nerve, macular degeneration – which results when the light-sensitive cells in the retina's macula are destroyed, and aesthetics and plastic surgery
Among the areas of study:
•In the past year, Dr. Marjan Farid, UCI director of cornea, cataract and refractive surgery, and Dr. Sumit Garg, medical director of the institute, implanted a 4-millimeter telescope in the eyes of patients who have irreversible end-stage macular degeneration. UCI is the only center in O.C. that offers this technology.
•UCI's retinal researchers, including Dr. Baruch Kupperman and Dr. Stephanie Lu, participated in the trials that led to the Food and Drug Administration's 2011 approval of Aflibercept, a type of protein to treat a form of macular degeneration.
•In the area of glaucoma, Dr. Sameh Mosaed is participating in a clinical trial to see if a surgically implanted device, the SOLX Gold Shunt, is safe and effective in lowering pressure within the eye.

continued Later in the meeting the committee voted to move a resolution to introduce a local law that allowed the county to override the cap through to the full board meeting next Monday. Nov. 7.
"This is going to send a message to our constituents unfortunately that is not true," Scozzafava said. "We are going to present a budget that meets the 2 percent tax cap, and we are not doing this because we are not looking to cut costs."
"You're not sending a message now," County Attorney Daniel Manning said. "Ultimately, you will have to vote on this. This is to introduce the local law, not to pass it. You need to do this before you pass your budget. This is only one step in the process. This is allowing you to get this out into the public and set a public hearing on it."

Chicago Wins Bid to Host Obama Presidential Library
Oh, thank heavens. Our long, national nightmare has finally come to an end.
In a move that surprised literally no one - except those of us who live here and thought that our President, warrior of the downtrodden minority communities, would rather the money go to building a much-needed trauma center on the city's South Side rather than a vanity project of a tourist attraction - Chicago has won the right to build the Obama Presidential Library, a project of the Barack Obama Foundation, which launched yetsterday with the comforting tagline, "his Presidency was just the beginning."
President Barack Obama's presidential library will be located in Chicago, the Barack Obama Foundation officially announced Tuesday.
The University of Chicago beat out its competitors, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Columbia University and the University of Hawaii, which also touted their ties to Obama and vied for the opportunity to host his presidential center.

Brief Synopsis
In this analysis, the author identifies some of the contining obstacles to achieving civil-military integration in war. She argues that there are continuing disagreements about who should lead the shaping of the political landscape in war, and that while doctrine has advanced in this area, good doctrine does not guarantee the effective execution of governance-related tasks. Sound operational approaches are required as well.

By James Slater: Mexican great Juan Manuel Marquez may feel as though he has earned the right to call the shots pertaining to a fourth fight with archrival Manny Pacquiao. Fully believing he has won all three classic encounters with Pac-Man, Dinamita told gathered members of the media yesterday that Pacquiao must sign to fight him by the end of 2012 at the latest or there will be no fourth meeting.
After the first Pacquiao fight I had to wait four years, and after the second, three more years passed, Marquez said yesterday in Mexico City as quoted by Boxing Tribune. Thats why if the fourth fight isnt singed in 2012, there wont be another fight.
I think Marquez is being fair enough. Most experts agree with him regarding his having done enough to have won the third fight back in November, and its now up to Pacquiao to do the right thing and fight the man who has so severely tested him once again. Marquez has made it plain enough, but will Pacquiao look for another high profile opponent or two next year instead?
If this does turn out to be the case, Marquez says he may well make the move up to the talent-rich 140-pound weight class. At age 38, Marquez is still more than capable of winning a major belt as a light-welterweight and there are a number of quality fights that could be made for him. Fans have long since wanted to see a Marquez-Erik Morales fight; with this particular match-up being the most obvious all-Mexican meeting that should have happened and hasnt.
Marquez has, it seems, had a change of heart regarding his retirement. Shortly after the razor-thin points loss hed been handed by the judges in Las Vegas, Marquez said hed either fight Pacquiao again next or flat out quit the sport. Now, having calmed down and reflected, the future Hall of Famer realises there are plenty of other big fights out there.
But does the sport need another Pacquiao-Marquez fight, so as to (hopefully) determine once and for all who the best man really is? Another close, hard-fought affair will likely be the result if the two greats do meet again, but Marquez sure deserves another go. And, in light of how much slower Pac-Man was in the third meeting, and in light of how much easier he was to hit, maybe Marquez will decide to fight more aggressively in a fourth fight.
I wonder, years, even decades from now; when it comes to splitting these two rivals, which guy will the historians rate as the best lower-weight fighter of this era: Marquez or Pacquiao?

Epson drivers for Windows 7
Oct 22, 2009
The Epson web site lists 32 and 64 bit drivers for Windows 7, for the 3800;the posting date is two years ago. Has anyone been running a 3800 with Windows 7, using either of these drivers? If so, have you run into any problems?
Same question regarding the 2200, which I assume is the "220" on the Epson site.

In a ruling denying the residents of Campa Cola an extension appeal, the Supreme Court decided that they would have to vacate the premises by May 31.
The flats which number approximately in the hundreds were declared illegal in November. This coincided too with the city corporation sending in demolishing crews. Because of the intervention by the Supreme Court the residents were allowed to stay on till May 31.
Initial pleas were made against the Supreme Court's May 31 ruling on January 6 where the advocate appearing before the court brought attention to the the pleas for regularisation that had been filed and which were unearthed through an appeal made under the Right to Information Act. The residents had also drawn to matter to Rahul Gandhi's attention in Delhi, pleading with him to consult with CM Prithviraj Chavan in order to bring the matter to an end.
Municipal corporator Manoj Kotak was further annoyed at the BMC's bid to destroy the property while the Chief Minister and Supreme Court were trying to find a solution to the problem. The corporator further demanded to know the BMC's policies to to regularise illegal structures built in the 1980's and 1990's.
However despite a battle that has been going on from 2005, the final ruling of the SC has not been in the favour of the residents. The early reactions to the ruling being naturally negative considering 96 individuals are being thrown out of their homes over an issue they claim to have been originally aware of.
Attention was initially to the matter was drawn in when the residents approached the BMC in 1999 in order to supply and regularise their water supply. While looking into the matter it was found that all floors above the fifth were constructed illegally and thus a demolition order was issued.

Lemon Jelly: Lost Horizons
Lemon Jelly never put text on the covers of their albums in order to prioritize the artwork. It's amazing how the absence of type changes a CD covers design. It immediately feels more collectible and arty. Again shrink wrapped plastic with a sticker showing the bands name was used in record stores.
Lost Horizons is probably the most artistic of their releases, their previous releases were very abstract and pattern like. It wasn't until viewing the artwork up close did I realize it was a 3D illustration. The trees while very crude work stylistically.
Upon opening up this six-panel digi pack you get to see the illustration in all it's glory. Flip it over and you get the countryside at night with the city shining and the country dark. All packaged in a nice card 6 panel digipack.
Fred Deakin the design is also half of Lemon Jelly and runs all the bands design and motion work through his company Airside. It's this dual role that allows complete control over the bands image while still experimenting. He also joins the long list of musicians/designers working today.

I can remember seeing this cover in iTunes. Even though I'm not really into the band, I couldn't help but click on the link to take a better look at the CD sleeve illustration. That's what great illustration does – moves you, and grabs your attention. As a designer, I know great design work when I see it…I love the inside of the cover, it's some truely original stuff…
I adore this album cover, I'm a big fan of Lemon Jelly but I'm yet to buy this album. I may try and get a copy next week, now I think of it. Anyway, it's albums that this which remind me that one of the best things about buying CDs instead of downloading is getting the artwork with it, something that downloading will never provide quite as well on a tiny iPod picture.
Reminds me of M.C.Escher's Day and Night:
Lemon Jelly is Yummy :)
At http://www.lemonjelly.ky you can download a screensaver of this cover, nicely changing from day to night etc. So you can adore all the in-betweens, as it were. Both for PC and Mac, various resolutions. Free.
Listening to the album right now. It suits the music perfect: a mix of natural elements and colours with Modern technology. On the inside sleeve you see parts of this scene from different angles/perspectives and it's really fun to where they are on the main picture. I can't imagine animating all of this.

Winston "Gus" Cooper was born in Lower Bouge, Eleuthera November 17th 1941 to the proud parents of Hubert and Llonella Cooper (both deceased).
He met the love of his life, Cassandra Weech and they were joined in matrimony December 31st 1963. They were blessed with four sons Anthony (deceased), Francisco, Augustus and Elton.
He attended the Eastern Senior School from 1956-1959; St. John's College from 1959-1962; Morgan State College Baltimore, Maryland from 1963 – 1967 where he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education with a minor in Biology. Gus joined the Public Service and continued his education, receiving an Advanced Diploma in Public Administration and Policy Management.
An avid sportsman, Gus participated in sports while in high school and college. He was very active in Track & Field competing in the 400 meters, Triple Jump, Baseball and Softball. His lover for sports was exemplified later on when he became one of the first Bahamians to own and operate a sporting goods store ""Champion Sportland"" and along with some of his friends Doyle Burrows, Honorable Perry Christie, Prime Minister, and Hugh Bullard, formed the Pioneers Sporting Club. Gus has coached many Bahamian Track & Field teams overseas: the
team 1968 Mexico City, Mexico; in 1970 the Bahamas Pan American Team Cali Columbia; in 1971 the Commonwealth Games Team Edinburgh, Scotland; 1972 Olympic Team Munich, Germany. In 1972 he was elected president of the Bahamas Amateur Athletic Association (B.A.A.A.) he severed until 1976. During his tenure as president, the Bahamas hosted its first Carifta Games. Gus designed the flag for the Games. In 1996 he was selected to the B.A.A.A Hall of Fame as a Sports Administrator.
Gus began his professional career as a Physical Education Teacher at Harold Road Secondary School (A.F. Adderley) in 1967; in 1969 he was appointed Head of the Physical Education Department Highbury High School (R.M. Bailey); in 1972 he joined the Bahamas Teachers College; he was appointed Head of the Physical Education Department at the College of The Bahamas; in 1977 he was promoted the first Director of Sports at the Ministry of Youth, Sports & Community Affairs a position he held until the year 2000 when he was appointed Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Youth Sports & Culture. During his tenure at the Ministry of Sports he served as the Administrative Chairman of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Bahamas Games. In 2008 Gus retired from the Public Service and joined Batelco Advertising Team. In 2010, Gus was hired by the Government as a Consultant with the Ministry of Sports to work with the Stadium project.
Called the ""Father of Modern Day Junkanoo"" Gus is renowned for his energetic dances, elaborate costumes, his appreciation for history, particularly, in costume and theme design; attention to detail, discipline and his ability to design and construct costume design and construction in the best Costume and Best Banner categories.
In 1978 Gus received the Bahamas Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Citizens Award for the Creative & Performance Arts; in 1986 he was honored by the Ministry of Labour, Youth, and Community Affairs for outstanding and dedicated service in furthering the cultural and social heritage through the development of the national festival of the Bahamas – Junkanoo; in 1995 he was awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, M.B.E.; in 1998 he received a silver anniversary award for Junkanoo; in 2000 he was selected as a member of the 100 most outstanding Bahamians by Jones Communications; in 2004 The Kiwanis Club International awarded for Junkanoo as a man of Distinction; in 2006 Toastmasters awarded him for his contribution to Culture/Heritage; in 2008 he was inducted in the Hall of Fame during National Sports Heritage Week; in 2010 Jones Communications Network awarded him "Everyday Hero for Culture"; in June 2013 he was honored by Mount Tabor as one The Fabulous 40 Fathers; in November 2013 during The Parish Church of the Most Holy Trinity 40th Anniversary celebrations he was recognized for his contribution to the Church and the Community.
The committee organizing the National Hall of Fame 2008 wrote ""Winston Gus Cooper best personifies the pronouncement by ancient Chinese warlord, Sun Tzu that many might see the tactics by which he conquered but few could discern the strategies by which his victories were achieved. As was that of the warlord, Gus' genius was in revolutionary thinking which he applied to sports as well as the myriad of interests that won his attention. In fact, through his gifts of denouncement, may were the infidels converted by his power of innovation, some so intrinsic that some wondered why no one has figured them out before. Indeed, it is most difficult to discern the strategies by which one man would achieve so much in sports, given that it was just his secondary passion.""
In July 2013, Papa as he is affectionately called by his grandchildren, had surgery to remove a Tumor that was discovered. Following the surgery, arrangements were made to air lift him to Health South, Fort Lauderdale, Florida on July 10th 2013. He was accompanied by his loving and devoted wife, Cassie.
He was subsequently moved to Jackson Ryder Trauma Center, Miami, Florida, where he continued to receive therapy. His wife never left his side, except to check on their son Tony who had been diagnosed with Cancer. Papa never wanted her out of his sight.
In fact during his stay in Florida, she became his chief nurse and cheerleader.
A prayer warrior, she read the Bible to him daily and he always responded to the prayers and readings.
Papa's grandchildren were his life, and he celebrated with them their every achievement, always encouraging them to strive for and to be the best at whatever they did. He was elated that, Arve, Aimee and Judith travelled to Florida to spend the Christmas with him and Grammy. When he saw them, his face lit up like a Christmas Tree. They were joined by Augustus, Dana, Zackery and Zoe and had their Christmas meal in the hospital as a family.
On Thursday, January 2nd 2014, accompanied by his loving and devoted wife, Papa returned home. In the early morning hours on Saturday, January 4th 2014 Papa responded to the call to come home to rest from labour to reward.
He was predeceased by his first born, Anthony ""Tony"" Cooper who passed away on November 16th, 2013.
Final Rites and Burial for the late Mr. Winston"Gus" Cooper, M.B.E. Age 72yrs, a resident of Stapledon Gardens, will be held on Saturday, 11th January 2014, 10:00 am. at The Parish Church of the Most Holy Trinity, Stapledon Gardens, Officiating will be Fr.

Apparently James Cameron was this close (I'm holding my fingers literally millimetres apart) to helming Jurassic Park. Imagine that, the world would have been completely different! George W. Bush probably wouldn't have been voted into power, The Cubs might have finally won a world series and I bet 9/11 wouldn't have even happened. Nice one Cameron.
Alas we can only dream about what his interpretation of Michael Critchton's tale would have involved. Cameron has revealed that it would have been much "nastier" and that it would have been like "Aliens with dinosaurs". Aw, he's just teasing us!
Not that we aren't grateful for Spielberg's masterpiece, but it's always nice to think about what movies could have been like. Here are 5 other classics that were almost directed by other filmmakers.
