Selling second-hand books still good business in Cebu
In this age of things to go and gadgets which store hundreds of books for a user to access anytime, there are still many who believe nothing still beats a hard-bound book or a paperback as a companion to while away time or to be inspired.
For this Christmas, giving a loved one a book to inspire, is one good gift idea.
It also need not be expensive or even a new book and Joseff Lee, owner of La Belle Aurore Bookshop, agrees especially with the positive turnout of clients in his bookshop.
La Belle Aurore Bookshop started as a two-shelf bookshop that Lee set up outside their home in Hernan Cortes, Mandaue City.
Registered as a single proprietorship company, Lee said he had always been fascinated with books and is a collector himself.
Setting up the business however was not a plan for Lee at first, it just developed out of need to buy cheaper books.
Being a book enthusiast, Lee grew up with his parents buying the books for him.
As he grew older he found that the books he love to read cost a lot of money and started to wonder where he could get second hand copies at cheaper prices.
"I began to look around all over the country and in the United States," said Lee.
Book suppliers
His US-based uncle helped him look for suppliers there.
"That was also about the time when America's economy was in recession, people started unloading some of their things and sold them in their garage including the books," said Lee.
Having found suppliers, Lee then decided to start a small bookshop outside their home.
"I started with about 3,000 books which I displayed in a small space about 10 square meters only. I had setup two shelves facing each other with the middle part serving as the alley for people to pick out the books they'd like," said Lee.
From only 3,000 copies, his inventory gradually increased as he now found many other suppliers in the country and in the US.
He has romance novels, inspirational books, self-help books, books by famous authors like Nicholas Sparks, Sydney Sheldon and Danielle Steele, and books covering most interest segments of book lovers.
At first he wasn't sure that his business concept would work.
He treated it as a good excuse to get more books for his personal collection.
People started coming, however, and soon he found himself loyal patrons who regularly come to his shop for books.
"I was pleased at the turnout and soon I had to open another outlet because some of my patrons suggested I should open in a location that's more accessible," said Lee.
In September this year, Lee found the perfect place for his shop at the ground floor of Honey Hunt Pension House in Junquera Street, Cebu City.
"This used to be a convenience store run by the owner of the pension house but they decided to have it rented out and transferred all their items upstairs since they are only serving their guests," said Lee.
Junquera outlet
His Junquera outlet is bigger and can accomodate up to 9,000 books.
It occupies a good space of 38 square meters complete with shelves, a piano and a small space where he displays his personal collection.
According to Lee, he had the piano setup in the place because he plans to hold book readings in the shop regularly.
"I remembered when I was young there was a place in Guadalupe called Pitcherplant where book enthusiasts like me would go and share readings including our personal poetries. There's none of that here now and I plan to do just that," said Lee.
According to Lee, he had a small gathering in his Junquera shop last Dec. 1 with all his patrons. They had dinner and reading and piano performances which his patrons really enjoyed.
"They suggested we'd do it regularly so I'm thinking of doing that more next year," said Lee.
Within three to five years, Lee said he would like to see his shop grow and soon serve drinks that will go well with the books.
Discount bag
To entice more patrons, Lee gives his loyal patrons the discount bag which is a reusable bag they can bring when shopping for books in his shop to avail of privilege discounts.
As of now, Lee has already hired three people to help on his shop.
An undergraduate who took up Industrial Engineering at the University of San Carlos Talamban, Lee said he was happy at what he had achieved and hoped to really succeed in the endeavor that he had pursued.

UW-RF Students Will Exercise Voting Rights in November
SEPT. 29, 2006--For many UW-River Falls students, the September primary and November general election will represent the first time they will have the opportunity to exercise their right to vote.
Many other students will return to the polls after having participated in a record turnout during the 2004 general election, when the number of registered voters doubled from the previous election.
Assisting UW-RF students in the election process of a nonpartison voter registration and education committee, River Falls Votes. Made up of faculty, staff and students, it will provide several services to students:
·Information on how to register to vote both for Wisconsin and Minnesota residents. The committee will support efforts to assist students to register to vote in River Falls, where eligibility is gained after living in Wisconsin for 10 days.
·Nonpartisan information on the campaign issues and election contests.
·Work with the city of River Falls for efficient registration and voting processes on Nov. 7 to shorten the wait as students and local residents cue up at Rodli Commons, the campus polling place.
The committee also expects to schedule visits to campus by candidates for seats in the Wisconsin Assembly, U.S. House of Representatives, and U.S. Senate.
Through these efforts, the RF Votes hopes to build on the historic young voter turnout in the 2004 elections. UW-RF is participating in a nonpartisan project to register young voters in the 2006 election cycle, part of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities' 30-state project to register students.
School administrators and students at 80 colleges and universities will register young voters using a mix of peer-to-peer outreach, encouragement from professors, email, and direct mail. The AASCU and UW-RF projects are part of a nationwide, nonpartisan effort to register 350,000 voters in 2006, coordinated by Young Voter Strategies and funded by a $3 million grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts.
Joining UW-RF in that Wisconsin effort are the University of Wisconsin System campuses at Eau Claire, Oshkosh, Platteville and Stevens Point.
Massive outreach efforts in 2004 resulted in young voter turnout increasing 11 percentage points over 2000 levels--more than four million more young voters in 2004. In 2004, UW-RF doubled the number of its students who registered to vote from registrations in 2002.
Experts contend that the unprecedented amount of youth-oriented outreach in 2004 is the most significant reason for this jump.
To build on 2004, the Young Voter Strategies project will register 350,000 18-29 year olds nationwide. UW-RF will use such techniques as innovative Internet and e-mail, streamlined student-to-student outreach, presentations by professors, and creative outreach by musicians.
Students can find complete information about the upcoming registration and election activities online at www.uwrf.edu/rfvotes

Lesson 1
Objective: Women as property. This lesson will look into this idea and how Chopin writes about it in her story.
1) 1.Class discussion: How does Leonce Pontellier view his wife? Is she, in fact, another piece of property? Was this a prevailing view of women in the late 19th century? Given the disparity in rank between women and men at the time, was this a fair way to look at women? Is this view of women the main reason why Edna feels so unhappy in her marriage? Do you think that if Leonce treated her more like a human being, as a partner, she would not so easily fall for Robert Lebrun's charms?
2. Homework: Have students write a short essay, about one page, from the point of view of Edna after Leonce tells her what folly it is to be swimming at such an hour and that she...

Greg Burris thinks the sales tax is needed to put employees on LAGERS
The Springfield City Council laid the groundwork Monday to move future police officers and firefighters -- along with current "Tier 2" police and fire employees -- into the state LAGERS pension system.
The move hinges on voter approval of a one-cent sales tax increase Feb. 3 -- a vote several on the council said was critical for the city to move forward.
There was no vote on the new pension proposal Monday night, but the council will act quickly to approve the plan if voters pass the tax next week.
If the tax is rejected, City Manager Greg Burris said the city could not afford to place new hires or Tier 2 employees in the LAGERS system.
"Once it passes, we can afford to close the existing plan," Burris told the council. "If we moved them into LAGERS without closing our plan, next year's city contribution would have to jump from $13 million to $17 million."
The new LAGERS pension plan offers benefits that are very close to what the 62 Tier 2 police officers and fire fighters can receive under their existing plan.
The city could save money because its contribution to the LAGERS plan would be significantly less than what it pays into the local pension plan.
Current Tier 2 employees would see an increase in their take-home pay if they moved into LAGERS -- while they contribute 8.5 percent of their pay into the city's police-fire pension plan, the state plan requires no employee contribution.
Sheila Maerz, the city's human resources director, also said employees in LAGERS can keep their benefits if they move to another job in the state that provides LAGERS benefits. They can't move their retirement benefits under the city's pension plan.
"That could help us attract some people to Springfield from other cities," Maerz said.
Because LAGERS only accepts newly hired employees into its system, Maerz noted that Tier 2 police and fire employees who wanted to make the switch would have to resign and be immediately rehired by the city to qualify.
Councilman Denny Whayne pressed for a guarantee that they would be rehired if they chose that option.
Maerz assured him they would.
City Council candidate Fred Ellison said he had some concerns about the proposal, particularly that moving new hires and Tier 2 people into the LAGERS plan removed any flexibility the city might have in dealing with them.
"This removes the possibility of not funding these pensions, which some of you on council previously chose to do," Ellison said. "You don't pay LAGERS, they remove you."
Ellison also urged the city to reopen the police and firefighter academies -- both currently closed because of the city's ongoing budget crunch.
Burris promised he would move to reopen the academies as quickly as possible if the pension fund sales tax passes.
If that happens, the city could afford to start training new officers and offer them a more secure retirement, he said. In the past, Burris has said the academies likely would stay closed if the tax fails.

Bianco doesn't expect to see Golson, Brown until January
Dual sport standouts Senquez Golson and Chief Brown took swings in the batting cage on Monday.
While Ole Miss baseball coach Mike Bianco said it was nice to see them, he cautioned not to expect to see them very often during the fall considering they have other — more timely — obligations to the football team. (September 16, 2011, Page 6A)
Scott leads Rebels to home win over SIU
BLOG: A sunny and cool evening in Oxford will play host to tonight's matchup between the Ole Miss Rebels (0-1 overall) and the Southern Illinois Salukis (1-0).

Rebel offense having to cope without RBs
For at least a couple of days, Ole Miss' quarterback battle has taken a back seat thanks to the Rebels getting a little roughed up by Brigham Young.
Against the Cougars, Ole Miss' depth at running back took a significant hit when All-Southeastern Conference senior Brandon Bolden and fellow veteran Enrique Davis went down with leg injuries.
During his weekly press conference Monday, Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt addressed both injuries. (September 6, 2011, Page 6)
Status of RBs Bolden, Davis still up in the air
Saturday's loss could have lingering affects for the Ole Miss Rebels.
As if losing its season opener to BYU wasn't bad enough, Ole Miss might be without its top two running backs for an extended period of time.
During his weekly teleconference on Sunday, Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt updated the status of seniors Brandon Bolden and Enrique Davis, both of whom saw limited playing time after being injured against the Cougars. (September 5, 2011, Page 1B)
Nutt updates RB injuries
BLOG: It's looking like the Rebels will likely be without senior running backs Brandon Bolden and Enrique Davis next weekend when they host Southern Illinois.
Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said on his weekly Sunday teleconference that both running backs are scheduled to have MRIs tomorrow. (more…) (September 4, 2011)
Several newcomers will see action in Saturday's opener
It's a good thing the Ole Miss Rebels have name plates back on their jerseys because fans will have a lot of new names to learn when their team kicks its season off on Saturday against the BYU Cougars.
When Ole Miss' first official two-deep depth chart was released on Monday, 24 players listed were either freshmen (both true and redshirt) or transfers. (August 30, 2011, Page 8)

Rudyard Kipling
If - Poem by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

Michael Walker (5/2/2015 8:13:00 PM)
Technically intricate-just a couple of long, periodic sentences, with the memorable climax' 'you'll be a man my son'. If some of these ideals seem unrealistic, the poem gives me a sense of pride in manhood; it boosts my self esteem. This is a refreshing change from the constant put-downs of men in the NZ media, usually inspired, I think, by men-hating feminists.
'If' was the simple credo by which the late Harold Holt lived. It took the place of any religious belief for Mr. Holt. As an athlete and enthusiast of the movie 'Chariots of Fire', I like the phrase, ' With sixty seconds of distance run.' (Report) Reply

This poem is full of encouragement. Well executed and honest, this poem is one of the great ones! Told as if you are getting a final summary of the lessons his own life has revealed to him and what one could take from similar experiences. (Report) Reply

James Fitzpatrick (1/1/2015 10:16:00 PM)
He must have been bitter about the war and losing his son, yet he was still about to write to express how he felt he should feel. A hard thing to do, and although he was a colonialist he was still a historian in what he left in most of what he wrote.
In whatever age you live this can still be classed a masterpiece.... (Report) Reply

Hi my lovely, lovely people.
Sorry I've been off line for so long. I have so much going on. Some of you are friends with me on Facebook so you have some idea of what I've been up to.
Anyway I'm back and I intend to stay connected as I find that this is the only place that I can chat to lovely, positive, supportive, non-judgemental and funny friends.
I'm now a Scout Leader, yes another thing to add to my exhaustive list of things to be doing, and I love it but unfortunately I am having to deal with a nightmare committee who thanks to mainly just one nasty person causes no end of stress. It's a shame because the Scouting side is fab, but thanks to her bitterness it made me think "I don't need this, I know where I need to be" and that place was here, so thank you to her.
Anyway I'm now back at my happy place so hello everyone.

How do you support optimistic / pessimistic concurrency using NHibernate?
NHibernate, by default, supports optimistic concurrency. Pessimistic concurrency, on the other hand, can be accomplished through the
These issues are discussed in detail in Chapter 10: Transactions and Concurrency of the Hibernate Docs.
NHibernate supports 2 types of optimistic concurrency.
You can either have it check dirty fields by using "optimistic-lock=dirty" attribute on the "class" element in your mapping files or you can use "optimistic-lock=version" (which is also the default). If you are using version you need to provide a "version" element in your mapping file that maps to a field in your database.
Version can be of type Int64, Int32, Int16, Ticks, Timestamp, or TimeSpan and are automatically incremented on save. See Chapter 5 in the NHibernate documentation for more info.
You can also 'just' manually compare the version numbers (assuming you've added a Version property to your entity).
Clearly Optimistic is the only sane option. Sometimes of course, we have to deal with crazy scenarios however...

Alcohol & Beer Converter
10,000 - 50,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Integers of K
Beer Converter has been updated to Version 3!
With this version comes some exciting new features and bug fixes.
Beer Converter is great for converting the amounts of alcohol in any alcoholic drink, not just beer! Simply select the unit size (volume) from the dropdown (or make a custom unit), then input the alcohol content of your beverage (usually listed on the container). Finally, input the quantity.
Simple example:
If I have 2 cans of beer that contain 5% alcohol. I'd like to know how many shots of vodka (40%) that would equal in terms of alcohol content.
I can select "Can" from the first dropdown, ensure that my "Alcohol Content" field has 5, then input 2 for "Quantity."
I can then set my "Unit to convert into" to "Shot" with an alcohol content of "40."
Another usage scenario: How much alcohol is in 4 cans of beer at 5%?
One can simply select "Can" from the dropdown menu. Ensure that "Alcohol content" is properly set to 5% (default). Then input "4" for the quantity.
The output will tell you how much ethanol you're consuming, which is how much pure alcohol you're drinking.
Internet/Billing - For in-app billing. In an effort to keep multiple apps out of the Play store, users can purchase the Premium Version from within that app, which implements in-app billing requiring the Internet permission. This is optional and only at your explicit request.

Fixed crash with non-English devices.
Premium features will be unlocked for free for users who do not have Play Store billing in their country.

'Don't point that gun at him, he's an unpaid Intern
Hi, my name is Erin, nice to meet you! I'm someone that loves to listen to others and I've always been somewhat of a caretaker to those around me. That's probably how I got into my career as a psychiatric nurse. I'm currently working on my master's degree. I'm very close to my family and really value that in other people. The words people most often use to describe me include "honest", "caring" and "funny". A sense of humor is very important to me. I'm not a very high-maintenance person. I'm very down to earth and enjoy low key things like swimming, cookouts, movie marathons, road trips, etc. I would love to travel more in the future and it would be amazing to have someone to share that with. I try to find humor in most any situation and I try to surround myself with geniune and kind people. I have a huge DVD collection, so I guess you could say I'm a little bit of a movie nerd:) I currently have 2 cats, but I've lived my entire life being around animals and I love them all. I'm not really into the club or bar scene. I prefer low key events with friends and family or maybe a night in cooking and watching a movie. I'm looking for someone that can be my best friend as well as my partner. If you're interested, send me a message!
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing

Middle of the Road
I would love to travel more in the future. So far, I've loved traveling in the New England area, especially Maine. I love the beach, Chincoteague in particular. I'm always up for finding new, hole in the wall places to eat dinner, visit.

The last book I read was 'Slaughterhouse five". My favorite books include Night, Harry Potter, Perks of being a wallflower, The Bluest Eye, The Glass Castle, Catcher in the Rye and Beloved.

Make the most of balloon decorating with our collection of balloon accessories. The first order of business is to get your balloons in the air, and our portable helium tank will make the process quick and easy. You can even extend how long balloons float—up to 25 times longer!—by adding Ultra Hi-Float to balloons before inflating with helium. For non-helium balloons, our cool air inflator will do the job in half the time, which gives you more time to decorate! Use with our balloon clips and never tire out your hands from tying hundreds of knots!

As a youth I used to draw comic books to amuse family and friends, but a few years ago I discovered that I seemed to actually have a talent for writing (at least I hope so) and started putting pen to paper, so to speak.
I enjoy creating characters, situations and events, hope that comes across and that you enjoy my stories.
A lot of my 'stuff' is of a VERY sexual nature and very descriptive, mostly male sexual fiction.
It's not what I eventually want to write.
I write other genres as well and will bring Sci-Fi, Horror, Adventure and Romance to my stories.
All of my books are 'Dyslexia Friendly' and sentence spaced for easy reading as I too am dyslexic.
I hope you enjoy my work and come back for more.

I find the book to be very entertaining. I will definitely read other books written by this author.

Orlando: The big topic at IBM Connect this year is how social media and big data are changing the way we do business.
On Tuesday, the discussion started shifting away from booming rhetoric toward how these technologies are actually being implemented and producing change.
Here's an overview of three industries where IBM touted social business philosophies and methods are already making strides.
Bill Fandrich, chief information officer of Blue Cross Massachusetts, suggested that to understand how to enable social business changes is to understand the "ever-changing technology marketplace" as well as the healthcare system.
"All of you are going to make a very important decision this year--different from the ones you've ever made before," Fandrich asserted, continuing on to say that's because the healthcare industry is going through a significant change too.
Describing Massachusetts as a "canary in the coal mine," Fandrich noted that the state launched its own revamped healthcare scheme ahead of the rest of the nation in 2006. What made it experimental, he said, was the new "retail-like" business model, making insurance companies more competitive.
"The solutions we put in place need to evolve with advancements not on the market yet," Fandrich said.
But Fandrich added that the retail model has also driven the demand for information.
At Blue Cross Massachusetts, Fandrich outlined the insurance company's member data breakdown as a "360-degree view" of each user broken down to member savings, clinical information, grouper information, and multi-channel touch points (wellness and primary risk programs).
Fandrich stressed both the amount of data that insurance companies accumulate from a multitude of sources and the need to draw better decisions from it, describing that "we are the glue and integrator" connecting consumers, providers, and regulators together. Some examples of the data fueling in ranges from purchasing cycles to family needs, benefits, and services.
But what might be most important--at least technology wise--is room to scale.
Fandrich recalled that when the CEO asks what his five-year plan is, he just laughed and said, "Your guess is as good as mine."
Fandrich added that "the focus isn't specific solutions" but an adaptable but comprehensive approach that will enable live-changing and life-saving decisions.
"The solutions we put in place need to evolve with advancements not on the market yet," Fandrich said, noting that when Blue Cross Massachusetts first teamed up with IBM, the iPhone and iPad weren't even available yet.
Now, Fandrich said, they're the most used devices by Blue Cross members when accessing information about their benefits.

Shopping Info
|Marmot Women's Variant Insulated Jacket - The Women's Variant Insulated Jacket by Marmot has an ingenious hybrid design that truly sets it apart. The Variant is comprised of Polartec Power Stretch material in the back, sleeves and side panels while Thermal R insulation is sewn into the front panels creating a surprisingly warm garment that never feels bulky. Thermal R is a unique combination of multi-channel and hollow fibers that is designed to provide maximum warmth while reducing the adverse effects of perspiration, condensation and humidity. The fine multi-channeled fiber transports away moisture while the hollow fibers provide excellent loft with minimum weight. This insulation is resilient, has an excellent warmth to weight ratio, and is highly durable.
Polartec Power Stretch fabrics feature a proprietary construction with two unique surfaces. The durable nylon outer layer is wind and abrasion-resistant, while the soft inner layer pulls moisture away from your skin keeping you dry, warm and comfortable. Sweat is wicked off the skin to the outside of the fabric where it spreads out to many times its original surface area, enabling it to dry at least 2 times faster than cotton. If you are looking for the perfect choice for highly active cold weather excursions, when freedom of movement is crucial, you have found it with the Marmot Women's Variant Jacket by Marmot.
Sizing for the Marmot Women's Variant Insulated Jacket:
Athletic Fit:
This is my go-to for XC skiing. I wear it over just a tech tank top in about 30-35 degree temps. It doesn't totally block wind, so I'd still use a wind proof shell in colder days. I overheat pretty quickly when XC skiing, and it's taken me many tries to find an ideal solution... This jacket is it! I agree it's a bit snug in the chest/shoulders, but it is stretchy so it still moves with you just fine. I wear a Medium and I'm about 5ft 5in and usually wear a size 6-8, 36C.
I bought this jacket a month ago, I use it to run at temperatures of 0-5 degrees and works great. Keeps you dry and warm. It is a wonderful jacket.

3 tips for a first timer- 1. never go inshore at Sleeping Bear dunes no matter how good it looks. 2. Always check the current at the last can after Grays Reef channel before turning east into the Mac straits. Current with you- down the middle, against you north edge of the straits to the bridge. 3. The odds for inside at the Maintou Islands are 90% . Going outside is 10%. Have a very compelling reason to go outside.
Now THIS is gold!!!!

'Game Of Thrones' to return with longer episodes
Season three of the HBO fantasy show will apparently be 'super-sized'Buy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
The next series of Game Of Thrones will be "super-sized", say showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss.
Season three of the HBO fantasy show will feature 10 individual episodes - the same number as seasons one and two - but each episode will last slightly longer.
Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Weiss explained: "There's almost another full episode's worth of extra minutes spread across the season. One of the great liberties with HBO is we're not forced to come in at a specific time. We can't be under 50 minutes or over 60, but that gives us a lot of flexibility."
Echoing his partner, Benioff promised a "super-sized season", then added: "Last year we had a lot of 52-minute episodes. This year is a lot of 56, 57."
The pair also revealed that the season finale may run over an hour, prompting Weiss to conclude: "So for people clamouring for another episode, it's in there. It's just been cut into tiny pieces."
Season three will begin on HBO in the US on March 31, 2013. In the UK, Game Of Thrones airs on Sky Atlantic and the show's return date has yet to be announced. Guest stars during the new run will include Coldplay's Will Champion, confirmed to be playing a drummer, and Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol, whose role is unknown.

No distress signals sent before ship hit yacht
Sailboat shards floating in the ocean were the first sign something was wrong. Eric Lamb spotted them while on safety patrol for a 124-mile yacht race between California and Mexico.
The debris, mostly pieces no more than six inches long, led officials to the bodies of three yacht crew members believed to have been killed when a large ship - perhaps a freighter - slammed into their boat in the middle of the night, California's second deadly yacht race accident in a month. A boat that smashed into rocks and capsized during a race off Northern California two weeks ago prompted the Coast Guard to temporarily stop races in ocean waters outside San Francisco Bay.
Farther south though, the Newport Ocean Sailing Association's race between Newport Beach, Calif., and Ensenada, Mexico, went forward on Friday. On Saturday afternoon, Lamb spotted the wreckage of the Aegean. Lamb, 62, said the 37-foot racing yacht looked like it "had gone through a blender."
"It was real obvious it had been hit just because the debris was so small," he said Sunday. Officials suspended the search for a fourth sailor later that day.
The Coast Guard said conditions were fine for sailing, with good visibility and moderate ocean swells of 6-to-8 feet. Officials have not determined the cause of the accident, and would not speculate on what ship, if any, might have collided with the sailboat.
The race goes through shipping lanes and it's possible for a large ship to hit a sailboat and not even know it, especially at night, said Rich Roberts, a spokesman for the race organizer. Two race participants who were in the area at the time the Aegean vanished told The Associated Press they saw or heard a freighter.
A GPS race tracking system indicated the Aegean disappeared about 1:30 a.m. PDT (4:30 a.m. EDT) Saturday, Roberts said. Race organizers weren't closely monitoring the race at that hour but a disappearing signal is no cause for alarm because receivers occasionally suffer glitches, he said.
"Somebody may have thought the thing was broken," Roberts said.
Lamb, who has been patrolling the race for eight years as captain for a private company, saw the debris nine hours later, called the Coast Guard, and searched for identifying information. He and a partner found a life raft with a registration number and a panel with the ship's name.
Race officials said they had few explanations for what may have happened to the Aegean.
Hundreds of race participants held a moment of silence at the Newport Ocean Sailing Association's award ceremony, many of them stunned and puzzled. The episode immediately sparked a debate over the safety of ocean races.
"Quite honestly, I'm amazed it hasn't happened before," said Lamb. "You get 200 boats out there, they lose their way, and they're just bobbing around."
Gary Jobson, president of the U.S. Sailing Association, said his group will appoint an independent panel to investigate.
"I'm horrified. I've done a lot of sailboat racing and I've hit logs in the water, and I've seen a man go overboard, but this takes the whole thing to a new level," Jobson said. "We need to take a step back and take a deep breath with what we're doing. Something is going wrong here."
