Saturday, November 10, 2012 was the second round of the Club Marine Series on Melbourne's Port Phillip. It was the stuff that sailing brochures are made of. Wind, together with lashings sunshine, but maybe just a little more warmth would have indeed made it perfect. No problem, however. We'll take it.
Sydney 38, Audacious, led her sister ships around the Division One course - Club Marine Series 2012/2013, Melbourne, Australia
Second race of the day gets underway for Division Zero. - Club Marine Series 2012/2013, Melbourne, Australia
David LeRoy, the Principal Race Officer for the Western Course, looked after the racing for Divisions Zero and One. David summed up the day, 'It was a pretty nice day, and it doesn't get much better than that. The breeze was steady at 175 - 180 degrees and ranged from 10 - 12 knots, increasing to 12 - 14, later in the day. We set a course of 1.6nm and four laps for both Divisions. Everyone had a full day of racing. Div0 completed three races and Div1 put in a solid day's work to get two races under their belt.'
Sweeping the pools was the new Calm 2. - Club Marine Series 2012/2013, Melbourne, Australia
The top place in Division Zero was dominated by Calm 2, who had a perfect score for both International Rule, Club (IRC) and Performance Handicap System (PHS) for each race. Second and third places were shared between Calm, Rush and Veloce in IRC, then Calm, Veloce and XLR8 in the PHS Division. Jason Van Der Slot from Calm 2 was very pleased with the day saying, 'Each week we are going from strength to strength, as we slowly get used to everything. It's starting to come together really well.'
Veloce had its first outing in the Club Marine Series this season. - Club Marine Series 2012/2013, Melbourne, Australia
It was also good to see Veloce out today for the first time in this season's Club Marine Series.
Black Flag start for Division One. - Club Marine Series 2012/2013, Melbourne, Australia
Division One were reminded what the black flag looked like after a general recall on their first start. David raised the black flag to make sure everyone 'behaved themselves' for the next start, but there were still a few who did not heed this warning and received a DSQ for that race as a reward for their transgressions. The first race got under way at 1410hrs in a steady 8-10 knots of breeze. The second race started at 1540hrs, but this time with a slight increase in pressure to say 12-14 knots.
Division One's Ikon was all over the podium after a great day's sailing. - Club Marine Series 2012/2013, Melbourne, Australia
Ikon had a great day's sailing, managing to remain on the podium for both races across IRC and Australian Measurement System (AMS). Bruce McCraken said, 'The start was pretty congested, especially at the boat end. We had a good time and everything went well. We had some good results, so couldn't be happier. What a beautiful day to be out there.'
Audacious also had a good day, winning the first race of the day in both AMS and IRC. Greg Clinnick was very pleased with this result saying, 'Second over the line and nipping on the heels of Ikon….. you know you've done well, but our first focus is always on the other Sydney 38s and who will have bragging rights at the end of the day.'
The rest of the podium positions for each of the divisions were shared amongst a number of boats, with Swordfish Trombone, Addiction and Wicked in AMS, along with Wicked and Chutzpah38 in IRC. In PHS, Dark and Stormy and Addiction each had a first for the day, with the other placings being shared by Bombora, Soiree Bleu and Wicked.
Greg Sinclair, the Race Officer for Divisions Two and Three said, 'It was a very good day. The racing seemed really close - much closer than the previous round of the Club Marine Series. The first course was set at 185 degrees and 1.4nm. It took about an hour and a half for the boats to finish the first race. The second race was set at 190 degrees and shortened up a little to 1.15nm. This race got underway at 1355hrs for Div2 and 1600hrs for Div3.'
Another vessel used to being on the podium – Executive Decision. - Club Marine Series 2012/2013, Melbourne, Australia
Executive Decision had a cracker of a day, winning both races in AMS and IRC. Congratulations to all on board! After the race, Grant Botica commented, 'We did better than I thought. It's the first time I have been out on the boat this season and the crew said that I now have to be on the boat, in order for us to win!'
Top of the table - Penfold Audi Sport. - Club Marine Series 2012/2013, Melbourne, Australia
Penfold Audi Sport also had a good day, with two seconds in IRC and a second and a fourth place in AMS. Overall, these results put them in first place by two and four points, respectively, without any drops. David Ellis said following the race, 'What a cracker of a day….. that was awesome! Hughie has owed us that one for a while. The racing was very close and we were very happy to make small gains on those in front. There were lots of good performances.' David also congratulated Grant on his two wins and also complemented Greg Sinclair and his Race Management team, saying, 'He did a sensational job out there, managing two really good races.'
Wind Speed got amongst the podium action after a good day on the water. - Club Marine Series 2012/2013, Melbourne, Australia
Wind Speed was another boat to have a good day out on the water, with two firsts in Performance Handicap System and a third in IRC in Race Three. Matrix, Longshot, Mrs Overnewton and Reckless all had a share in the other podium places and a tad of the glory.
Division Three gets away cleanly. - Club Marine Series 2012/2013, Melbourne, Australia
Once again, the usual suspects were in the places for Division Three. Watermark II was the only boat to remain on the podium for both races in AMS and IRC, with two seconds in AMS and a third and a second in IRC. Nouannie and Wavelength had a first place each in AMS and Intrusion and Skipjack achieved the same in IRC. Luke Reinehr from Intrusion reflected the general consensus, 'Good to be out there on a beautiful Saturday in November, with two good races as well.'
Marg Neesom from Wild Child was very pleased with her day's racing, 'It's always good to get the smoke; we had some really good people on board and we are very happy with a first and a third in the Performance Handicap System'.
Many thanks to Sandringham Yacht Club for supplying Boonoorong as the media vessel, which in turn enabled these great photographs to be taken. Cheers to you!

Next Amazon Kindle due fall, to echo iPod route?
updated 10:15 am EDT, Wed July 16, 2008
Amazon Kindle 2 October
Amazon's next edition of the Kindle could arrive as early as this fall, says a purported insider. Speaking to CrunchGear, the tipster contradicts Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' claims that there would be no update soon and instead says Amazon will take an approach like that taken by Apple with the iPod mini: the new core model will be smaller but with the same functionality as the earlier version and will ship in multiple colors, with goals being equally to reduce the price as well as to appeal to a younger audience.
The smaller version would nonetheless have the same six-inch electronic paper screen as for the existing model and has supposedly "skipped three or four generations" of design versus the white, angular existing model. This update is due in October, according to the report.
A second version is said to be in development for the long term and will have the size of a standard letter-sized sheet of paper as well as multiple colors. It would only begin shipping in 2009 but would likely help the Kindle appeal to magazine and newspaper readers.
The Kindle has so far been dubbed a modest success and was at one point nicknamed the "iPod of reading" for its attempt to popularize e-book readers, which have often been seen as niche devices.

Tropical Muesli / Special to the Register
If a trip to some warm tropical paradise is not in your plans this winter, fear not. Let your local grocery store bring the tropics to you with their abundance of tropical fruits this month.
Tropical fruits will help you meet your daily fruit intake while providing you with nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber and antioxidants. The fruits also are an excellent source of fiber.
Fiber is the non-digestible part of plants and will give you a feeling of fullness. For those looking to lose some weight in the new year, high-fiber foods are a great choice. With high-fiber foods, one is less likely to overeat and will stay full for a longer period of time.
But we would be remiss if we did not mention vitamin C. Tropical fruits are an excellent source of this immune-boosting vitamin, which helps maintain skin and bones, too.
Papaya has a sweet, tart flavor and is high in vitamin C and beta-carotene and a good source of folate. Papaya meets 31 percent of the daily vitamin A needs. Papayas may protect the heart and may have anti-cancer properties. The enzyme papain, found in papaya, may improve digestion and help break down proteins. Papayas are easy to prepare. Just halve the papaya, remove the seeds and enjoy.
Mangoes contain more than 20 different vitamins and minerals and meet 12 percent of the daily value for fiber. One cup of mangoes is a good source of vitamin B6 which helps the body with blood glucose control. Mangoes are also high in vitamins A, C, E and K. At 100 calories in approximately one cup, mangoes are a very nutrient-dense food. In other words, mangoes provide a great deal of nutrition for a small amount of calories. Mangoes taste delicious added to salads, salsas, smoothies or hot cereals.
Pineapples are probably the most familiar of the tropical fruits. Like papaya, pineapple contains an enzyme known as bromelain, which breaks down proteins and aids in digestion. It also acts as a meat tenderizer, making pineapple a great marinade for chicken or pork.
Pineapples are high in vitamin C and a good source of folate, vitamin B6 and potassium. Manganese is a mineral that helps keep bones strong and pineapple is packed with it. One cup of pineapple meets 73 percent of the recommended daily allowance for manganese.
Dried tropical fruits also can be used as a snack, in muesli (see the recipe at right) or tossed on a salad. The next time you are at the grocery store, pick up some tropical fruits. The taste, health benefits and overall goodness cant be beat.

BRUSSELS (AP) -- U.S. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey says the Army may still pursue an investigation that could lead to desertion charges against Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was freed from five years of Taliban captivity in a prisoner exchange last weekend.
Dempsey also told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Tuesday that Bergdahl's next scheduled promotion is not automatic because he is no longer missing in action.
He noted that U.S. military leaders "have been accused of looking away from misconduct" and said "it's premature" to assume they would do so in Bergdahl's case, despite his five years as a Taliban detainee.
Bergdahl was handed over to U.S. Army special forces Saturday in exchange for the release of five detainees at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba detention facility.

Hi all
I am busy going through the Producer Consumer example, but i don't follow the following workings of the code.
What i understand is that when a thread enters a synch method it locks that object so that no other thread can enters it,but the following
code looks weird.
public class CubbyHole { private int contents; private boolean available = false; public synchronized int get() { while (available == false) {//this loop will also not run etc try { wait(); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } } available = false; notifyAll(); return contents; } public synchronized void put(int value) { while (available == true) {//here this loop will not run try { wait(); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } } contents = value; available = true;//changes the variable so notifyAll(); } public class ProducerConsumerTest { public static void main(String[] args) { CubbyHole c = new CubbyHole(); Producer p1 = new Producer(c, 1); Consumer c1 = new Consumer(c, 1); p1.start();//calls the put() method c1.start(); }
Here the while loop will never execute because the put() method is called first and the Consumer have to wait until the lock is released,but in the explanation of the tutorial it talks about the get method quote"The code in the get method loops until the Producer has produced a new value", but the Producer calls the put() method first b4 the get method is called by the Consumer."
I don't know if my understanding is correct but any help would be appreciated.

Well Cornel...
I'm not a real specialist in explanations...
But I can say this code really works, because I've implemented this in a recent project here at e-Quality Labs. The thing is, when the PUT method runs for the first time, the while loop will not be executed, but it will set the AVAILABLE attribute will be set to TRUE ! And the process will begin... Got it ?

Next time you want to talk about "the Producer Consumer example", it might be helpful to give us a
or something so we have some context. Many people here learned
from places other than the Java tutorial, so we don't really know what you're talking about unless you tell us. Or unless we spend extra time searching...
Anyway - it seems you've misunderstood something, but I'm not sure which part exactly. Initially, the available field in the CubbyHole is false. This means that when the Consumer calls get() it will keep looping and waiting, until available is true. (Unless that had already changed before the Consumer managed to call get(), which is possible.) However when the the Producer calls put() the first time, it will not loop at all - when it gets to the line
while (available == true)
it will recognize that available is false, and will
skip over the while block and execute the code immediately after it
- namely, the line
available = true
Once the notifyAll() is called and the synchronized put() method is exited, the get() method in the other thread will be able to stop looping, since available is now true. Afterwards the two methods will alternate, with one waiting for the other to complete before it can proceed.

There's some cause for confusion with this example, but let's start with your one mistake: the first thread started doesn't
mean it gets the lock first. That's one beauty of thread scheduling you're always at the mercy of whatever is scheduling thread to run, and there is always the possibility, however slight, that "longer" threads can finish before "short" ones, and that threads started later can begin executing sooner.
It's good mental preparation to abandon all certainty about what exactly happens next when you set up multiple threads to run concurrently. Thinking this way will help you avoid creating what is called a
race condition
, a situation that can arise when your program assumes two or more threads will always finish in a pre-determined order.
So we have c1 and p1 which are threaded. One or the other gets some CPU time and starts running through its instructions. It gets to the appropriate synchronized method and acquires the lock of the object, which only prohibits other threads from entering any
method in that object. Non-synchronized methods are still fair game, and that rule bites a lot of people the first time around.
The wait/notify scheme in this example uses what is called a conditional variable in multithreaded programming. In this scheme, some thread first acquires a lock, then checks some condition that determine whether the thread can perform its work of not. If not, it must wait() in which case it is sent to sleep
with the lock
. Sounds like bad news.
However, the thread manager itself can get this lock and give it to another thread, on the premise that the original thread can't modify it while sleeping. The next thread gets the lock and possibly changes the value the first thread is waiting on (the boolean
). When done, it notifies and exits, making it possible to return the lock the the first thread.
Based on the notification, the first thread might be the next thread to run, might not. That should be the case here since there are only two threads are contending for one lock.
The consumer in this example should loop twice if it gets to go first and fall straight through if its goes second.
Hope this helps

See, what we need here is a mechanism for one poster to acquire a lock on a thread while they're working on composing their reply, so that the other posters will be blocked from replying until the one poster makes his post and relinquishes the lock.
On the plus side though, this way you get a nice spectrum on answers, saying roughly the same thing with increasing level of detail.
I agree. Here's the link:

The dry weather continues to cause concern around the state.
Many brush fires have popped up in recent days, including one Tuesday morning in Scott County.
The fire broke out in the Westwoods neighborhood.
Firefighters say the fire burned about half an acre of woods before they could get it under control. They believe it could have been a lot worse, because it could have easily moved toward some nearby homes.
"As dry as its been, and as much trouble as we've had, we've been extremely lucky not to be just out every day all day long," Scott County Fire Chief Mike Fuller said.
Forestry officials tell us the fire is under investigation. They say there were some items in the burn pile that should never have been burned.
Many counties in Kentucky are now under burn bans because of the dry conditions.

The costliest measure in the policy address seeks to phase out 80,000 pre- Euro and Euro I to III emission standard diesel commercial vehicles by 2019. This would help reduce overall emissions of harmful particulates and nitrogen oxides by 80 and 30 percent, respectively.
Newly registered diesel vehicles will have a working life of just 15 years.
Drivers of old vehicles are in line for subsidies of between 18 and 30 percent to buy new ones.
Drivers can also elect to receive a subsidy to retire the vehicles.
Lok Ma Chau China-Hong Kong Freight Association chairman Stanley Chiang Chi-wai said he doubts drivers are getting a good deal.
"The scheme means drivers will have to pay an extra HK$790,000 for a new vehicle even if their Euro III vehicle is less than 10 years old," he said.
Meanwhile, ocean-going vessels will be required to switch to diesel in which the sulfur content is less than 0.5 percent.
The cost would entail about HK$10,000 to HK$20,000 more each sailing.
Also, with the fish trawling ban imposed in Hong Kong, the government will set up a HK$500 million development fund to compensate fishermen.

Mack Brown: Kansas State's Bill Snyder the best coach in country
On any list of the nation's best head coaches in college football, Texas' Mack Brown would be at the top. But he reserved the No. 1 spot on that list for Kansas State's Bill Snyder.
"Bill Snyder is the best coach in the country," Brown said at Big 12 Media Days this week. "What he's done at Kansas State proves that. Kansas State was a place where not a lot of people had won and he has won consistently. He decided to go lay back, put his feet up, then he came back and won again. You have to give Bill so much credit. He's been the master at finding out what his kids can do and building around it."
Before Bill Snyder was hired as the Kansas State head coach in 1989, had won less than 40 percent of their football games and had never won a bowl game.
In Snyder's first 17-year tenure at the helm of the Wildcats' football program, Kansas State won nearly two-thirds of their games and won the only six bowl games in the program's history. When he stepped down in 2005, the Wildcats went 17-20 under Ron Prince's leadership and were defeated in their only bowl appearance in 2006.
Snyder returned as Kansas State's head football coach in 2009 and helped the Wildcats win 10 games for the first time since they won 11 in a 2003 season that saw them make their only BCS bowl appearance in program history.
One of Snyder's 159 career wins — all of which have come at Kansas State — particularly stands out in Brown's mind, a 48-7 loss to the Wildcats in his third game as the Longhorns head coach in 1998. In the 177 games since, Brown's 'Horns have suffered only two worse losses.
"We never touched [Wildcats quarterback Michael Bishop]," Brown recalled. "He ran up and down the field, he was a great player and they were great on defense. I think Ricky Williams had about 43 rushing yards that day. It was a long day. It was Major [Applewhite]'s first game as a quarterback in college. Not that I remember, but we got beat, 48-7. It wasn't that close."

Sheriff: Clues link body to AnthonyJames Cohen in myFOX: Orlando, December 12, 2008
Media Source
ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - A medical examiner found evidence among a child's remains that link them to the home of a missing toddler, Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said Friday, offering the strongest indication yet that the remains may be those of Caylee Marie Anthony.
Sheriff Beary told NBC's "Today" show that investigators searched the home early Friday after the medical examiner found "some clues that came out of the remains" that "linked it to the house." He did not elaborate on what those were.
The remains were found Thursday by a utility worker on a wooded lot less than a half-mile from the house where 3-year-old Caylee lived with her grandparents and her mother, 22-year-old Casey Anthony.
Defense team grows
If Linda Kenney-Baden's name sounds familiar, you may recognize her as an author, trial attorney and legal commentator who has been involved in other high-profile criminal cases.
She recently represented music producer Phil Spector in a murder trial and offered analysis during the controversy surrounding the death of super model Anna Nicole Smith. Her husband is forensic expert Dr. Michael Baden of the HBO series Autopsy.
Kenney-Baden will be joining Casey's attorney, Jose Baez, in court at 11:30 a.m. Friday morning for an emergency hearing to preserve evidence gathered on Thursday. The motion was filed by Baez on Thursday afternoon. We will be streaming the hearing live on MyFoxOrlando.com.
"I'm concerned about my client, period. We are requesting to have access to this information," said Baez. "As it [evidence] is being tested, we would like our people present, especially if it's destructive in nature by the testing."
"There are basically two kinds of test that government and medical investigators will conduct," said FOX 35 Senior Legal Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano. "One is a visual observation of the scene. The other type of test is on tissue and materials from the contents of the bag."
Judge Napolitano said those tests can frequently destroy the tissue on which the tests were taken, which gives cause for Baez to file the motion.
"The defense wants to be there to be sure they physically observe the tests, so if the government says, 'we physically tested this bone and here's what it showed us,' then the defense investigators will know, in fact, that it was this bone. As well, if there is only a small amount of physical evidence that they want to test, they may both need to run their own tests at the same time, because this small amount of whatever it may be -- let's say skin or tissue -- may be gone forever," Napolitano added.
Remains could bolster case against Casey Anthony
Prosecutors looking to convict a central Florida mother in the death of her missing daughter are waiting to find out if they have the crucial evidence they need: a body. The remains could solve a six-month-old mystery of where the girl went, legal experts said.
Caylee's mother, 22-year-old Casey Anthony, was indicted in October on first-degree murder and other charges, even though the toddler's body hadn't been found. She has insisted that she left the girl with a baby sitter in June, but she didn't report Caylee missing until July.
"If the defense had been able to go to trial without a body being discovered, hopes for reasonable doubt might have been compelling. If the body proves to be Caylee, then it immediately becomes an uphill case for the defense," former U.S. Attorney Kendall Coffey said.
There was nothing that immediately indicated the skull found Thursday was Caylee's. But Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said his investigators and the FBI would work around the clock and through the weekend to identify the child.
Depending on what the evidence yields, the discovery could also help defense attorneys.
"If the body was tampered with, if wild animals got to it, if the evidence they get with it is contradictory in some way, then the job [for prosecutors] just got tougher," said Jim Cohen, a law professor at Fordham University in New York.
A spokeswoman with the state attorney's office said Thursday that officials wouldn't comment until the investigation was complete.

The Art of Enchantment: How Guy Kawasaki Will Change Your Business
I recently interviewed Guy Kawasaki, co-founder of Alltop.com and the author of the bestselling book, The Art of the Start. His latest masterpiece is called Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions.
In this interview we talk about what makes for great content, how he came up with the title of his latest book, what Enchantment means for business, why businesses need to embrace nobodies and how he promoted his book. (Be sure to listen to the MP3 of this interview below.)
Mike: Most of our readers are marketers and business owners. Can you explain what Alltop does for them and why they might find it useful?
Guy: One of the functions of marketers, PR people and social media people is they need to keep on top of things.
The vision of Alltop was that we should aggregate RSS feeds for people by topic and create essentially an online magazine rack so that you could go to one place and say, "Okay, these are all the social media blogs and websites aggregated in one place." It's the five most recent stories from each source, and we give you a preview of the first paragraph of each story so you can see if you really want to click through.
19 Tips for Driving Traffic to Your Blog
It's the the perennial quest. How can you get more traffic to your site?
After all, without a steady stream of traffic to your blog, there's little opportunity to engage your audience and convert readers to raving fans.
Methods change and evolve over time. When I wrote my first "how to drive traffic" post about five years ago, the list looked a lot different. There was no Twitter, no Facebook, no social sharing buttons, and no retweet button.
7 Tips for Driving Targeted Traffic With Twitter
Social media has many uses—from making contacts to performing customer service—but driving quality traffic to your site is Twitter's secret weapon. The big question is this: How can we get more of that lovely attention we crave?
As my recent poll shows, generating incoming traffic is the number-one need that people have right now, and for good reason. Traffic translates into:
- Attention, engagement, conversation and recognition
- Spreading your message far and wide
- Prospects and subscriber opt-ins
