i folks! From this point on, I'll be filling the shoes of the esteemed and creatively titled Jay Moldenhauer-Salazar, whom I believe has stepped aside to pursue a shadow-of-night, avenger-of-injustice project of some kind. I hope I can bring the same great sense of fun to this column as he did. Who am I, though? I'm a longtime Magic player (I started at Beta), and a total Johnny. You may have seen my name before on some of the puzzles posted here on the website, in the credits of any Magic product released over the past two years, or in some of Randy Buehler's articles noting wacky playtest exploits. Of course, everything you really need to know about me and my approach to the game you can get by looking at the one Magic card I ever designed: Erratic Explosion.
I'll write more about my long-term plans and hopes for this column next week, but for now, I'm just going to jump in and get down to the business of Zombies. I've been fascinated by the scintillating deckbuilding possibilities of Zombies ever since Aaron told me that's what I had to write my first column about. The hordes of walking undead, while legion, can be shockingly single-minded. And I mean that among all of them put together, there's maybe a single mind. The Zombies' focus is very compelling, though. There's so much emphasis on death and the graveyard (especially in the Odyssey block) that natural synergy is easy to come by. And while you can argue that there's not enough variety among the creatures in the race, I think their similarities make their slight differences that much more pronounced.
The graveyard. It's a Zombie's natural environment: its birthplace, its home, its cafeteria. So why are they always trying to tear it apart? Hey, if you were a smelly, goopy, flesh-dripping corpse (and I'm not judging you if you are), you'd probably carry some self-hatred too. Plenty of Odyssey Zombies practice picking through the trash: Zombie Cannibal, Crypt Creeper, and Famished Ghoul can all slurp cards out of an someone's graveyard. But they're nothing compared to Withered Wretch, the new king of graveyard denial. Since it quickly and cheaply liquefies your opponent's 'yard, it combos very nicely with a few other cards. The Wretch{Withered Wretch} turns Carrion Wurm into a 5-mana 6/5 Zombie with no drawback whatsoever. Even better, it pairs up with the neglected Odyssey rare Gravestorm to let you draw two cards a turn. With a and a mana cost at the heart of the deck, monoblack is clearly the way to go. Here's one way to use that engine without investing in too many other rare cards.
Main Deck
60 cards
I think that's a pretty good start to my tenure here: a cross-block combo between an uncommon utility card and a, shall we say, less-than-celebrated rare. If only there were another combo out there that fit the theme… if I could dig it out from wherever it's buried, all that remains… hey! That's right, Buried Alive and Ghastly Remains go together like peanut butter and marshmallow. It's an awful combo, but how can you resist? Sure, fancy-schmancy graveyard recursion decks use Oversold Cemetery (admittedly, one of my favorite cards in the current environment) and high-quality creatures you can use over and over again like Krosan Tusker. But where's the challenge in building a deck out of good cards? Anyone can do that.
Yes, just as Zombies excel at devouring graveyards, they also shine at popping out of them. A few different Zombies in the set of Standard-legal cards are good at self-recursion: Ghastly Remains (while it's no Squee, Goblin Nabob, it's the closest thing to come out in the last few years) and Undead Gladiator refuse to stay dead, and Aphetto Vulture can set up your next draw with the previously deceased Zombie of your choice (including itself). In fact, Buried Alive interacts with the Vulture, Gravedigger, and Cruel Revival to set up a "toolbox" Zombie deck. A bunch of one-of Zombies lets you fetch the creature you need for whatever situation you're in. Cruel Revival does have a drawback, though: if you play against another Zombie deck, it might wind up as a, um, dead card. That's where Zombie Infestation slides on in. It feeds the graveyard, lets you dump those dead cards, syncs up perfectly with Ghastly Remains, and is ridiculously thematic. Soulless One giggles like a schoolgirl each time you drop more Zombies into your graveyard, and Corpse Harvester supports the toolbox angle. Toss in whichever Zombies you have on hand that would help you out. Here's the version I've been playing with.
While Zombies lend themselves to tricks and combos, they actually don't need a diabolical scheme to be good. For example, Noxious Ghoul combos with every other Zombie. Infernal Caretaker combos with every other Zombie. And the list goes on. One of Jay's great ideas was the frequent inclusion of "Lite" decks (decks with no rares in them) in this space, and I'll be continuing that practice.
Finally, while looking through my Magic Online collection for cool Zombies to build decks around, I couldn't help but notice the first one listed alphabetically: the appropriately named Accursed Centaur. What a hideous card. That card is so bad, UPN is airing a sitcom about it. That card is so bad, the Cincinnati Bengals can beat it. That card is so bad, these jokes would have to be even less funny to do it justice. So I built a deck around it. Which creatures are the best ones to sacrifice? Either ones with great leaves-play abilities, or—even better—ones belonging to your opponent. So the deck is filled with plenty of ways to steal creatures and plenty of ways to sacrifice them. It won't work all the time, but (amazingly) sometimes it does . . . and beating down your opponent with an Accursed Centaur is just about as good as it gets.
50 cards
And on that note, I'll wrap up my first column. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Until next week, have fun with Zombies.

HELEN, Ga. (TMCNews)--Working with Georgia Mountain Resort Ministries, 25 Truett-McConnell College students shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his love with hundreds of people celebrating Helen, Ga.'s, Oktoberfest, Sept. 15.
In addition to sharing the Gospel and distributing tracts, students engaged children with face-painting and balloon animals.
Nathan Welsh told TMCNews he volunteered for the event "to have an opportunity to share the Gospel. While there, I handed out Gospel tracts to as many people as I could."
"It's difficult to walk up to random people and share the Gospel with them," Welsh added. "I believe this was a great opportunity to get used to that. I would most certainly like to do something like this again."
After approaching a man whose feet had been amputated, TMCer Garrett Erath discovered the man was already a Christian: "Seth was a very encouraging man whose faith in God kept him going each day, and he has used his circumstance to share the Gospel and to help non-believers in similar circumstances."
"I was able to sit and talk with Seth for a long time, provide his choice lunch of a slaw dog and Coca-Cola, and before I left I gave him my phone number so that he can share prayer requests and hopefully I will be able to help him in other ways, too," Erath said.
"God blessed me by showing me how to be ready and active to share my faith at any point," concluded Erath. "He has blessings to provide through us to others and for us if we are willing to obey His voice."
Ruth Dennis said she worked at the event "because I enjoy working with and getting to know other like-minded students while engaging in opportunities to serve people and reach out to them with the Gospel."
"The children loved getting their faces painted," she said. "We who were painting faces had the opportunity to talk to the children and plant gospel seeds in them and their parents. Some of the designs that were most popular were rainbows, puppy dogs, and the cross with a heart over it.
"As I painted a rainbow on a child's face, I would ask them if they had ever heard the story of Noah and would tell them about the very first rainbow that God put in the sky.
"While painting a puppy dog, I would talk to them about their own pets and how God made all the animals in the world.
"The cross with the heart on it was an even further open door to the Gospel. When I asked one young girl if she knew what the cross stood for she told me, 'Jesus died on it.' I then asked her if she knew why there was a heart over it, which presented me with the opportunity to share God's love for her.
"Every chance to share the Gospel is a blessing to me. God is worthy of everything I have and so much more. The least I can do is offer Him a few hours during the weekend to reach out to the people at Oktoberfest while I try to live out my life in a way that would be pleasing to my Savior," Dennis said.

|Acetic acid recovery of gynecologic liquid-based samples of apparent low squamous cellularity.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16610679 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To characterize cervicovaginal cytology samples with < 5,000 squamous cells on the initial ThinPrep slide (Cytyc Corp., Boxborough, Massachusetts, U.S.A) and to attempt sample recovery using acetic acid. STUDY DESIGN: Cervicovaginal cytology samples with <5,000 squamous cells on the original ThinPrep slide and residuum were reprocessed by adding 3 mL of 3:1 CytoLyt (Cytyc)/glacial acetic acid with production of a second slide. Both slides were reviewed for squamous cell quantitation and the presence of background material and abnormal cells. RESULTS: From a total of 1,833 cases, 147 (8.0%) were identified for reprocessing; 71 (48.3%) were grossly bloody and 58 (39.4%) grossly cloudy. Reprocessing resulted in a second slide with > 5,000 squamous cells in 116 (78.9%) cases and was most effective on cloudy samples (89.7% recovery) and bloody samples (71.8% recovery). Abnormal cells were identified in 13 (8.9%) reprocessed samples. In all but 2 cases the abnormal cells were present on the initial slide and demonstrated the same degree of abnormality as the reprocessed slide but were fewer in number. CONCLUSION: Acetic acid recovery increases squamous cell recovery when initially inadequate, reducing the number of unsatisfactory cases and in rare cases identifying a cytologically significant lesion not apparent on the original slide.

November 30, 2015
Jeremiah Paul Cahours was found guilty as charged in Bay County Thursday night of vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a crash with death.
Assistant State Attorneys Jennifer Hawkins and Bob Sombathy took the case to trial over a long single day. Hawkins told jurors in her opening statement that the issue came down to the decisions that Cahours made that resulted in the death of Marija Kostova the night of July 3, 2011.
Kostova, 22, was riding her bike through an apartment complex around midnight when she was struck by Cahours' SUV. Cahours, 32, of 300 Cabana Blvd. No. 1113, and his roommate had been firing off fireworks before Cahours' girlfriend asked him to go to the store
for her. Witnesses said Cahours had been drinking most of the evening.
Hawkins said Cahours' first bad decision was getting behind the wheel. His second bad decision was continuing to drive after the passenger in the car set off a large firework that filled the vehicle with smoke and sparks. It was while the car was filled with smoke that Kostova was hit.
Cahours drove away from the scene and was arrested months later after the passenger came forward with information to the police, including statements Cahours made that indicated he knew he hit someone on a bike that night.
Circuit Judge Michael Overstreet scheduled sentencing for April 1. Cahours faces up to 30 years in prison.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie can breathe a little easier now that a federal audit released on March 6, 2014, concluded that his administration did not violate any laws or rules when Christie awarded the no bid contract to AshBritt Inc. who employs former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour's lobbying firm in Washington.
Although vindicated, there may be trouble ahead for municipalities that also used the contractor to clean up debris from towns devastated by Super storm Sandy. Any town that used the contractor after the 60 day emergency period may have possibly violated rules set by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) who promised to reimburse towns for the cleanup, but if those towns violated the 60 day rule they could be on the hook for having to return the money to the federal government.
The Christie administration which has been pounded by the media and political enemies for the George Washington Bridge controversy and the Sandy Clean up investigation issued a report in which it stated that Democrats were wrong to attack the administration in a "rush to judgment" over the Sandy investigation.
The report from the Christie team also stated that "at the time, many Democrats jumped on this AshBritt news as some sort of breaking scandal. Led by some of the same partisan Democrats that are attempting to politicize various issues today, a feeding frenzy ensued. Now, with the release of this independent third-party report from the IG, we learn that the partisans were wrong."
Christie has taken a beating in the polls and has been late night comedy fodder since the two separate investigations began and is correct in its claim of political agendas and a rush to judgment by those who oppose Christie and in an effort to knock him down as a potential Presidential candidate. It's also not just Democrats that want to see Christie fall; you can bet your bottom dollar that his rivals in the GOP were drooling with anticipation of his demise.
If the "Bridge Gate" investigation exonerates Christie and there is no smoking gun, this could backfire on democrats, if history has taught us anything it's that the media loves to build somebody up, then tear them down, but then likes to put them back up again, if you don't believe me ask President Bill Clinton. Christie is not out of the woods yet, he still has Bridge Gate and accusations about Sandy relief money and the "Stronger then the Storm" tourism commercials that needs to be cleared up but this audit is a big first step.
As for the poll numbers, it was inevitable that Christie would not hold such high numbers forever, accordingly anytime they started to come down, it would have been played out as a negative implication by his opposing forces.
Mark Twain once said "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated", if Christie comes out clean on "Bridge Gate" his political ambitions will not have died, but the Democrats and those who oppose him in the GOP should at least fear his resurrection.

HAZELWOOD, Mo. (KSDK) - The St. Louis County Assessor's Office has estimated damage from the Hazelwood tornado to be $3.5 million.
An EF2 tornado touched down April 10. Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency and toured storm damage in Hazelwood and other areas affected by severe weather.
A spokesperson for the Assessor's Office says the damage estimate is not all-inclusive and will be less than total damage determined by insurance companies because they determine property value based on the land and value for the improvement of house or other structures on the land.
They also do not include loss of personal items on the property.
The same night the tornado touched down in Hazelwood, an EF1 tornado touched down in Franklin County, an EF0 tornado touched down in The Hill neighborhood in the City of St. Louis, and straight-line winds and three microbursts caused damage along a 30 mile path between Union and Chesterfield.

Description: Imagine seeing the varied landscapes of the earth as they used to look throughout hundreds of millions of years of earth history. Tropical seas lap on the shores of an Arizona beach. Immense sand dunes shift and swirl in Sahara-like deserts in Utah and New Mexico. Ancient rivers spill from a mountain range in Colorado that was a precursor to the modern Rockies. Such flights of geologic fancy are now tangible through the thought-provoking and beautiful paleogeographic maps, reminiscent of the maps in world atlases we all paged through as children, of Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau.
Everett Ruess - A Vagabond for Beauty

VBScripts and UAC elevation
With User Account Control (UAC) enabled in Windows Vista, one needs to open an elevated Command Prompt in order to run scripts under administrative privileges. Although the elevated Command Prompt accomplishes the task, the question How to run as script under elevated privileges, without using the Command Prompt? comes to our mind.
Applications can make use of manifest files (using RequireAdministrator flag) to show the elevation dialog when run. As far as I know, there is no such option for scripts. Using the ShellExecute method, you can elevate a script by passing the runas parameter. Thanks to Jim Barry for tipping me off about the ShellExecute method of Shell.Application object. Using Jim's suggestions, my original script was condensed down to a great deal. Use one of these methods to run VBScripts elevated.
Method 1
This re-launches the current VBScript as administrator (elevated) if the script has no command-line arguments passed. When re-launching the script as administrator, simply pass a bogus argument so that the script does not run in a cyclic loop.
If WScript.Arguments.length =0 Then
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
'Pass a bogus argument with leading blank space, say [ uac]
objShell.ShellExecute "wscript.exe", Chr(34) & _
WScript.ScriptFullName & Chr(34) & " uac", "", "runas", 1
'Add your code here
End If
Method 2
This method uses a stub or wrapper script which runs the main VBScript elevated using the runas verb.
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strPath = FSO.GetParentFolderName (WScript.ScriptFullName)
If FSO.FileExists(strPath & "\MAIN.VBS") Then
objShell.ShellExecute "wscript.exe", _
Chr(34) & strPath & "\MAIN.VBS" & Chr(34), "", "runas", 1
MsgBox "Script file MAIN.VBS not found"
End If
You'll see see the UAC elevation dialog as in the figure below:
Once user clicks Continue to approve, the main script is launched, which runs under administrator privileges.
NOTE: The sample wrapper script above, looks for the main script (Main.vbs) in the same folder where the wrapper script resides. Feel free to alter the code to customize it according to your requirements, or to add error handling routines if you want. Also, it would help the end-user if you give the wrapper script an intuitive name, such as launch.vbs or run.vbs.

There's a hidden bonus soon to be realized from Tuesday's election.
Of course, there's an obvious bonus, too, as the 45-odd percent of Nevadans who don't already realize it will find out soon enough. You read it here first: By 2014, you won't be able to walk into a public building without being near-deafened by the smack of palms against foreheads as people say, "This Obama guy, he might be right after all."
The hidden bonus, though, is that Barack Obama's victory has postponed, and maybe prevented, what somebody called "the Post-Truth Era in political campaigning."
Here are some facts: Mitt Romney, and his masters in the Republican party, lied copiously and continuously, not just in the campaign but in the years leading up to it. You're free to disagree, of course, and I won't argue, but you will be wrong. Romney was for immigration and against it; favored abortion and opposed it; planned to defund the Federal Emergency Management Agency then suddenly was struck dumb about it; wanted a $5 trillion tax cut but then denied it; supported gay rights then called them perverted; promised to get rid of Planned Parenthood then suddenly became a born-again lifetime advocate for women's health.
This is apart from his not-ready-for-prime time gaffes, like ticking off Europe or calling Russia our main geopolitical enemy (former Secretary of State Colin Powell's reaction: "Come on, Mitt, think!"). It's separate from the two-minus-two-equals-two math you have to do to make his economic plan work.
It's just lies, like claiming President Obama had lifted the work requirement from welfare or that Chrysler was planning to shift Jeep production to China (a Chrysler executive called that "bulls--t"). During the campaign, observers from all sides, even reliably Republican ones, alluded to the fanciful nature of Romney's and running mate Paul Ryan's claims. If the pair didn't know they were lying, they were the only two people in the country who didn't.
It worked, too - right up until they lost the election. Their tactics, the tactics of Americans For Prosperity, Crossroads GPS, the Koch brothers and others who contributed millions of dollars to Romney's campaign, flopped.
At least they flopped in the Big Game. Some smaller races, including Heller-Berkley in Nevada and Brower-Leslie in Reno, bore the stench of the conscience-free right. In the big one, though: epic fail.
Which is not to say we should expect future campaigns to be fantasy free. Obama Derangement Syndrome still exists. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has already said it's the president's responsibility to get along with him, not his to work with Obama. The logical part of my brain doesn't really believe Republicans will draw a lesson from Tuesday's disaster and suddenly begin doing their jobs, maybe govern a little.
But at least we've slowed them down. Maybe there's hope.

It is no secret that Louisiana has a litigious legal climate. Louisiana ranks 49th by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for legal fairness ahead only of West Virginia.
Recently, the American Tort Reform Association released their Judicial Hellholes 2013-2014 report on state's legal climates. Louisiana moved up in the poll to the number two spot as the worst legal climate only behind California.
What causes the Louisiana court system to receive such poor marks from the legal watchdog community? One reason might be, according to Louisiana Lawsuit Abuse Watch, judicial activism. ...

Best Jimmy Buffett Songs [VIDEO]
As we gear up for the Sun of a Beach Festival on the Bangor waterfront, we thought we'd take a look at the best Jimmy Buffett songs of all time.
The premier Buffett tribute band, Changes in Latitudes, will play all the favorites at the July 12 festival, which will also feature Zac Brown tribute band, ZBTB. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 on the day of the festival.
There are so many Buffett classics, from "Margaritaville" to "Come Monday," that have to be on the list, but we want you to tell us if we missed any! Just leave your suggestions in the comments and we'll add them to our list.
Meanwhile, we'll see you at the festival! If you don't have tickets you can buy them here.
Until then, enjoy the best of Buffett:
One Particular Harbour
Although "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" makes you long for the tropics, so does this 1983 tune written by Buffett and Hawaiian-born Tahitian musician Bobby Holcomb. It's not part of the "Big 8" played at virtually all Buffett shows, but here's a great live performance.
Pencil Thin Mustache
Do you know who Andy Divine is? How about Boston Blackie? Check out this live recording from Fenway Park.
Come Monday
Did you know they still make Hush Puppies? Buffett immortalized the shoes in this 1974 classic about the lonliness of the road. It even spent some time on the country charts back in the day.
This is for all the land sharks! It's a fun song so check out this live performance from the Gulf Shores Benefit Concert.
Jimmy Buffett's first big hit and one of his very best, no doubt!

"I was born black and female," Lorraine Hansberry once stated. This sense of identity created the framework for Hansberry's life and work.
Her writing and life as a social activist illustrated what it meant to be a black woman in America. Hansberry's work, "To Be Young, Gifted and Black" became a theme, which has rooted itself in African-American song, poetry, pride and sense of self. Her success as a young writer unlocked the door for a generation of black writers, actors and artists inspired by her writing.

The Path to Eagle
The Scoutmasters of Troop 94 have discussed at many meetings the path to Eagle. Many of the requirements are in the various Scouting manuals and some are formed at Troop Committee and Uniformed Leaders meetings. The rank of Eagle requires merit badges, community service and leadership responsibilities. Some of those requirements that have been formulated at our adult Troop meetings are as follows: --> A Star candidate must run for the position of SPL and hold this position for 6 months (minimum). If the Star candidate does not get elected to SPL but then holds the ASPL position for 6 months this will also qualify the Scout to pursue his path to Eagle. --> To be considered a candidate for SPL the Scout must have attended 70% of the Troop campouts and 75% of the Troop meetings in the previous year. As an SPL, ASPL or Eagle candidate it is expected the Scout will attempt to participate in all Troop activities, raising the bar so to speak on the expectations of the Scout. These requirements are expected of the Eagle candidate prior to his Eagle Board of Review. --> Scout spirit and living the Scout oath are both seen as integral aspects of the SPL/ASPL positions and also the Eagle candidate.

When we first saw the new news anchor for Weekend Update on SNL last season, we had our doubts. His name is Colin Jost, and though he had been great behind-the-scenes of that show as a writer, his perfect hair and smug attitude seemed a little off-putting. We know that is part of the Weekend Update vibe, but usually the show would cast an actor who had already had our respect for that role. Colin Jost just kind of appeared, and wasn't that funny. Seems he knows it, too, and he just sort of apologized for how bad last season of Weekend Update was.
In a short interview with the New York Post, Jost did his best to try to explain things from his point of view. While we were not a huge fan up to this point, at least this shows us he is aware and knows it needs to be worked on. Chevy Chase and Seth Meyers could be smug, we know this. Thing is, we liked them as players before they took that role. With Colin Jost, he just seems like the snobby guy at the Harvard bar acting better than everyone. We didn't get a chance to like and know him enough to know if this is actually him, or him playing a role. Outside of that, it just hasn't been that funny.
But he basically said he was feeling first season out and will be able to be more and more himself as the seasons go on. Of course, that still doesn't tell us whether we will like him or not. Hey, at least he knows it and is trying to change. Better late than replaced, right?

The 2011 Artemis Offshore Academy Selection Trials have been completed. A total of sixteen candidates were chosen to take part in the Selection Trials which took place last week at two locations – the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy and the Wokefield Park Corporate Outdoor Learning Centre.
The candidates in action in Weymouth
The 16 candidates were divided into two groups of eight, and held in secrecy so not give the second group an advantage over the first. The inaugural Selection Trials last year last year were based around the 'Fantasy Figaro' and this year it was the 'Virtual Vendée Globe' with guest star Dee Caffari in attendance. Caffari was the first woman to sail solo around the world non-stop in both directions and who raced in the 2008/09 solo Vendée Globe, finishing an impressive sixth place out of an original fleet of 30.
'The purpose of the Selection Trials is to unearth the candidates who display the skills that are a pre-requisite to succeed in the sport of solo and short-handed racing, with the Artemis Offshore Academy set up to help these sailors achieve their ambitions,' said John Thorn, Performance Director of the Academy who was present throughout the Selection Trials.
The Artemis Offshore Academy judges and Advisory Board, headed up by Rod Carr, ex-CEO of the Royal Yachting Association, will now face the difficult task of deciding which candidates will be selected for the Development Squad. The Squad will go on to receive training this winter and support to race next season.
Each group of candidates took part in the Selection Trials for 52-hours, during this time they were pushed hard in a variety of physical and mental challenges for intense periods of time with as little as four hours sleep (just like solo sailing!) earning miles to take them on to their 25,000 mile Virtual Vendée Globe finish line.
Dee Caffari with group B
The winner of the Virtual Vendee Globe was Aaron Cooper who earned the most miles (27,190) and received a £1000 Musto voucher. The first group of eight candidates completed the Selection Trials from Monday to Wednesday (26-28 Sept), with the second group from Thursday (29 Sept) to Saturday (1 Oct).
The first 24 hours of the Trials involved working at a high ropes course, fitness testing and then an overnight Virtual IMOCA 60 Sikaflex boat building challenge. 'The boat building challenge went really well, a lot of them showed really good time management skills and I was impressed,' said judge Dee Caffari before they headed out sailing.
'Some have had sleep, others are a little bit tired and are getting a bit tardy, and they can't afford that. They are heading out on the water and because it's all about performance today they need to always think about the bigger picture.' Challenges are either in groups or as individuals where candidates opt what they do and who they work with to maximise the miles they gain.
The Liferaft Challenge at sunrise
There is also a joker card available which allows candidates to double their points for one challenge. The candidates also had to make a ten-minute interview to the judges on why they should be allowed to join the Artemis Offshore Academy Development Squad.
Katherine Whitley from group A summed up the Selection Trials in three words when she finished: 'Sleepless, awesome and freeze-dried!' One aspect that the candidates are assessed on is their ability to manage themselves, their rest, food consumption and hydration throughout the 52-hours, as this is such a vital part of short-handed competitive sailing.
The candidates were given a pack of freeze-dried food and sports recovery shakes on arrival to last them throughout the Trials, and it was up to them when they hydrate, eat and rest.
'The Selection Trials went very well this year and the candidates are all rising to the challenge, and they also understand why we are setting some of the challenges,' said John Thorn, Artemis Offshore Academy Performance Director.
Katherine Whitley solo sailing for the first time under the watchful eye of Squad member Nick Cherry
'Different candidates are excelling in different challenges, which is interesting and also reflects the diverse backgrounds they come from. The candidates also raced out on the water in the Figaros, and this is where we assessed their sailing skills to see what they are made of.'
The Selection Trials candidates included experienced sailor Mike Perham, who at 17 years of age became the youngest person to sail around the world in 2009, double-handed Figaro sailor Matthew Lingley, as well as Olly Bond and Henry Bomby who attended the Selection Trials last year.
'It's everything I hoped for, I knew they would challenge and test us,' said Perham. 'It's hard work and it's not easy in any shape or form!'
Mike Perham
'I had just under three hours sleep on the night of the boat building challenge,' explained Henry Bomby. 'I've clocked up some time on the Figaros this summer including doing the Fastnet, which helped me on the short course racing as I have experience of on the boat manoeuvers which are a key part.'
However, the majority of applicants understandably do not have much short-handed experience and the Selection Trials are a chance for them to try this type of sailing in order to more fully understand the physical and mental demands required to compete in this arena.
A documentary on the Artemis Offshore Academy Selection Trials will be broadcast on Channel 4 as part of the 'Sailing on 4' series in December.
The Academy will announce which candidates have been selected for the Development Squad, the week commencing 10th October.
Artemis Offshore Academy website
Artemis Offshore Academy: The Artemis Offshore Academy provides a structured UK training programme of excellence for British short-handed sailors, to bring talented sailors up through the ranks with the ultimate goal being to put a British sailor in a strong position to win the Vendée Globe in 2016 or 2020 and beyond. Launched in 2010 the Artemis Offshore Academy offers an annual fully funded Scholarship to the most promising member of the Development Squad to compete on the highly competitive Figaro circuit, including the famous Solitaire du Figaro. In addition, support is also granted to a UK sailor to compete in the Mini Transat.
Artemis Investment Management: Independent and owner-managed, Artemis opened for business in 1997. Its aim was outstanding investment performance and client service. All Artemis' fund managers still share these two precepts - and the same flair and enthusiasm for fund management. The company's success has seen it grow to manage some £12 billion*. This is spread across a range of 13 unit trusts, an investment trust, a hedge fund, a venture capital trust, a European Sicav and both pooled and segregated institutional portfolios.

Steven Soderbergh created an independent film explosion in the 90's with his Sundance hit, Sex, Lies and Videotape. He inspired a generation of filmmakers and established Sundance as America's showcase for independent films. Since then, he has directed 26 films with his latest, Side Effects, now in theaters. Apparently, 26 films is enough and Soderbergh talks to Vulture about why he's done directing for the 'cinema'.
It's a combination of wanting a change personally and of feeling like I've hit a wall in my development that I don't know how to break through. The tyranny of narrative is beginning to frustrate me, or at least narrative as we're currently defining it. I'm convinced there's a new grammar out there somewhere. But that could just be my form of theism...If I'm going to solve this issue, it means annihilating everything that came before and starting from scratch. That means I have to go away, and I don't know how long it's going to take. And I also know you can't force it. I love and respect filmmaking too much to continue to do it while feeling I'm running in place. That's not a good feeling. And if it turns out I don't make another one, I'm really happy with this last group of movies. I don't want to be one of those people about whom people say, "Wow, he kind of fell off there at the end." That would be depressing.
While starting out in the industry at 26 years old, he's seen the independent film model rise and fall, at least in the terms of launching careers and theatrical film distribution. He doesn't think we'll return to the old days any time soon.
It would be hard because movies cost so much to market. I'm encouraged by Video on Demand, which is a very promising distribution method. But it's much harder for filmmakers now. You're sort of expected to emerge full-blown. That's rare. Some people do, but I didn't. Like I said, you can't make five films in a row that nobody sees. You'd be in movie jail. I feel really lucky that I got to make the mistakes I made and still get to do Out of Sight.
Since changing the direction of his career, Soderbergh's taken up painting, distributing Brandy, and admiring American comics and pet food. He doesn't have much hesitation about stepping away from Cinema.
I'm really looking forward to reading a book, finishing it, and picking up another one.
Go back to where Soderbergh's prolific career began and watch Sex, Lies and Videotape on DVD and Blu-ray.
