San Francisco, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - In a battle between two playoff contenders, defense prevailed as the Carolina Panthers edged out a 10-9 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
The two teams combined for just 401 total yards and went just 9-for-30 on third down attempts, with the 49ers a paltry 2-for-13. There was also a total of 10 sacks in the game, six for Carolina, and each team had two turnovers.
DeAngelo Williams' touchdown run late in the first half was the only time either team found the end zone, and it helped the Panthers (6-3) win their fifth straight game.
"There were a lot of good things that went on in this game today," said Carolina head coach Ron Rivera. "The defense did step up and play really well and I thought some of the things we did offensively, especially when we had good field position, were really good."
Frank Gore carried the ball 16 times for 82 yards, and added two catches for 21 yards for the 49ers (6-3), who had a five-game winning streak snapped.
San Francisco is now three wins back of Seattle for first place in the NFC West.
"We had our chances and opportunities in the game and we just didn't get it done," said San Francisco head coach Jim Harbaugh. "We played with great effort, especially the defense. But Carolina made more plays and in the end that won it for them."
Neither quarterback fared well under center, as Cam Newton went just 16-for-32 with 169 yards and an interception for Carolina, while Colin Kaepernick was 11-for-22 for just 91 yards and an interception for San Francisco.
Graham Gano missed a 48-yard field goal try with 3:41 left in the third quarter, but Kendall Hunter fumbled a carry on San Francisco's ensuing possession.
An exchange of punts saw the Panthers start with excellent field position as Ted Ginn returned one 25 yards to the San Francisco 44.
The Panthers only managed to gain nine yards, but it was enough for Gano to boot a 53-yard field goal for a 10-9 lead with 10:05 to play.
San Francisco then went three-and-out, but then forced another punt from Carolina, which pinned San Francisco at its own 1.
The Niners converted a first down to get some breathing room, but a sack handcuffed the drive and forced another Andy Lee punt.
Carolina converted a third down on its possession before having to punt with the Niners getting the ball back at their own 20 with 1:02 to play.
On the second play, though, Kaepernick went deep for Mario Manningham and Drayton Florence picked off the pass to seal the win for the Panthers.
The 49ers started the game with the ball and got runs of 11 and 17 yards from Gore. The drive stalled at the Carolina 34, but Phil Dawson booted a 52-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead just over four minutes in.
San Francisco caught a break later in the first quarter as a Lee punt was partially blocked, but the rolling ball touched a Carolina player and San Francisco got the ball back at the Carolina 41.
After an 11-yard catch by Gore, the Niners were only able to gain five more yards, but Dawson connected from 43 yards out for a 6-0 lead with 13:34 to play in the first half.
Later in the second quarter, Newton had a deep pass picked off by Tramaine Brock, who took it to the Carolina 24.
The Panthers defense, though, held up and San Francisco came away with another field goal from Dawson, this one from 25 yards out, for a 9-0 lead with 6:16 to play in the half.
Carolina was finally able to put together a successful drive, as the team marched 80 yards in eight plays. The drive was capped when Williams took a handoff between the tackles, skirted out to the left and broke a pair of tackles for a 27-yard score to make it a 9-7 game with 1:52 left in the half.
San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis left the game in the second quarter with
a concussion ... Williams led the Carolina backfield, which totaled 111 yards
on 30 carries, with eight carries for 46 yards ... Manningham caught three
passes for 30 yards ... Carolina controlled the ball for just over 32 minutes,
and had 250 yards ... The Panthers host the Patriots next Monday ... San
Francisco plays at New Orleans next Sunday ... Carolina has won four straight
against San Francisco.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.

Disability and stereotypes: The non-apology apology
I'm something of an expert when it comes to receiving a non-apology apology. For the uninitiated, the non-apology apology is the Pavlovian response that complainants receive when they question an editorial decision on 'acceptable' jokes and has risen with the tide of humour, which leaves its integrity at the door.
Humour, which has no rules, seemingly has no responsibility for the misappropriation of its content by bigots, but I feel this is a cop out too far.
The non-apology apology has also been misappropriated. Broadcasters chasing ratings know that for all comedy, which embraces the mainstream; edgy sells, it seems.
'Punching up' through satire delivered with wit and ice-cold fury brings down the pompous, deconstructs the deluded and crucially shifts the power balance from those who control the narrative to those who elect them to office.
However 'punching down' to those already disenfranchised through socio-economic status, sexuality, race or gender is the last bastion of the ignorant bully. The non-apology apology I've been in receipt of were on the basis of "jokes" which take bullying to a new low because they target disabled people. Most particularly learning disabled people.
From Frankie Boyle to Jimmy Carr from Doug Stanhope to Louis CK in this age of austerity, disability is the new black.
As with racist jokes the humour deployed by these edgy comedians isn't funny because it's predicated on a stereotype, which is damaging and wrong.
The worrying part is that when it comes to human rights disabled people have the right not to be degraded. This isn't a qualified right this is an absolute right as public bodies all broadcasters have a duty of care to protect this right yet when challenged they deploy the non-apology apology and usually hope that makes people go away. It takes the form of three lines of defence.
1. We're sorry if you were offended.
2. The comedian challenged is known for their irreverent humour.
3. It was post watershed.
The interesting thing about these tired responses is how corporate driven they are and how they are predicated on protecting the product. It's not about offence, it's about civil rights. It's not about irreverence it's about promoting hate speech and it doesn't matter what time anything is broadcast these days you can watch any number of catch up channels or deploy your digital recorders.
Also the tired old "if you don't like it don't watch" defence. To me it's like Tobacco product manufacturers attempting to deny the dangers of smoking by smacking a warning label on the box and hiding them away behind shutters in supermarkets.
What is evidenced is that curbing the social acceptability of smoking and making it less accessible has impacted on the numbers of people who smoke. Advocates for learning disabled people get ridiculed yet second hand disablism like second hand smoke can be lethal.
That's what I want to happen to disablist jokes. They are to me as cruel and damaging as racist humour and for those targeted by the jokes by the verbal and the actual abuse it leads to they do cause real damage. Wrapping abuse in a cloak of humour doesn't make it OK it just makes it socially acceptable, cruelty with a smile on its face is not a reason, just a handy outlet.
For those comedy fans that appear on my Twitter timeline and will I'm sure be arriving in the comments section of this piece – you need to get your heads around a few facts. I'm not attempting to censor anything. Unlike the R word campaign I'm not advocating a ban. Writers need to be free to represent the world in all its disablist truth and need to be able to show that horrible ignorant people say horrible ignorant things. However celebrities using these words themselves whilst being lauded and adored are a different matter entirely.
'Self-censureship' through recognition is what I'm asking for. For every disabled person who finds disablist humour acceptable, there are many more who don't. This is evidenced by the emails which deluged the CEO of Ofcom who claimed that viewing audiences have a human right to be offended in their defence of jokes utilising the word retard by Vinnie Jones complete with a mocking "retard" walk.
Comedians who use them in their act don't want to understand the part they play in influencing and promoting hate speech either but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. This can again be equated back to smoking because that's why smoking is curbed on our screens. Because fans copy what their heroes do.
Attacking free speech is another argument levelled at people like me asking for 'self-censureship' by celebrities. Of course speech should be free but it's interesting when detractors are keen to shut me up. Also people didn't give their lives in the battle for speech to be free so that a comic can denigrate and attack a disabled child. Their minds were on higher motives like religious oppression and political freedom.
More than anything else the generic non-apology apology fails on the grounds of sense. I don't ask for a public apology from anyone, the thing I've learnt more than anything else in all of this campaigning is the sheer futility of saying sorry and not meaning it. Conversely the beautiful heartfelt apology through recognition by Jason Alexander, on using pejorative terms around sexuality will take some beating in terms of the redemptive power of a genuine apology.
All I ask is that comedians work a little harder because the disability gag reflex which makes disabled people the target of a joke not the subject of a joke, is as easy as sewing shut the eyelids of a kitten and equally as repellent.Tagged in: comedy, disability, Doug Stanhope, Frankie Boyle, Jimmy Carr, louis ck, stereotype

Update, 10:55 am: I had some email correspondence with Donald Heath, who penned the article in The Savannah Morning News. According to Heath, the program at the Georgia All-Star game claimed that Mobley signed with Indiana. Heath asked Mobley about that and Mobley told him he was "probably going to sign with Indiana soon." I'm not exactly sure where Mobley's information is coming from, but again, Indiana is not recruiting him according to his AAU coach and our sources.
Update, 6:45 pm: I spoke with Brandon Mobley a few moments ago and he told me that he's planning to make a decision on April 14. According to Mobley, the schools still on his list include IU, Cincinnati and South Carolina. He did not confirm the report from The Savannah Morning News which stated he will likely sign with Indiana. I also asked him about the departure of assistant coach Roshown McLeod and Mobley said, "It really doesn't have an effect on my decision."
On the flip side, to our knowledge, Indiana has not been actively recruiting Mobley since last fall. And according to Mobley's AAU coach, Felix Taylor, this is exactly the case.
Thanks to "IUDan," who tipped us off to the following snippet in a story about the Georgia North-South All-Star game, published today by The Savannah Morning News:
Where does the time go? Soon the kids will be flying the coop. Four have already signed NCAA Division I basketball letters on intent. Mobley, on Sunday, said he will most likely sign with Indiana soon.
Mobley, for those of you that had forgotten him, is Brandon Mobley, a 6-9 forward from Savannah. (Rivals profile here.) Given the full court press currently being applied to Moses Abraham, this development seems highly unlikely, but hey, stranger things have happened, right?
The limited inventory of scholarships isn't putting the brakes on the pursuit of 2010 talent from the IU basketball staff. Here's a look at a tentative schedule of visitors in the coming weeks:
+ Kyrie Irving, 6-2 guard, St. Patrick's (NJ): Adam Zagoria reported late Thursday night that Irving (pictured) will give Duke a visit on September 25 and that a visit to Bloomington will take place, but a date has not been set.
+ Moses Morgan, 6-5 wing, Palo Verde (NV): The son of Winston Morgan, a former IU player, will visit on September 12 according to The Courier-Journal's Jody Demling. Morgan will also take an official visit to Arizona State and other visits could follow.
+ Stacey Poole, 6-5 wing, Andrew Jackson (FL): Indiana made Poole's recent cut to four schools according to Evan Daniels of Scout.com. Poole will visit Indiana and Kentucky both on the same weekend — with a trip to Bloomington on September 4.
+ Victor Oladipo, 6-4 guard, DeMatha (MD): Oladipo could cross paths with Poole as the Maryland native told Mike Pegram of Peegs.com of his plans to visit on September 4-6.
+ Brandon Mobley, 6-9 forward, Windsor Forest (GA): Mobley told the Indiana Daily Student that he's down to the Hoosiers, South Carolina and Cincinnati and will visit in November.
+ Keep an eye on: Jelan Kendrick, a 6-6 guard from Westlake (GA) and the cousin of former IU fan favorite A.J. Moye, will reportedly take part in this weekend's Elite Camp. Kendrick is the No. 8 player in the 2010 class on Rivals.com. 6-4 Norcross (GA) guard Jeremy Lamb is another guy to keep on the radar.
Around the Hall is recommended reading from the Inside the Hall crew.
+ Indianapolis Star columnist Bob Kravitz talks to Dick Vitale, a long-time advocate of a Bob Knight return to IU, about whether he thinks the former coach will show up in Bloomington. Former H-T sports editor Bob Hammel also gives his take. {Indianapolis Star}
+ Duke has extended an offer to Marshall Plumlee and the 6-11 junior also holds offers from IU, Florida, Purdue, LSU, Minnesota, N.C. State, Notre Dame and Virginia. {Asheville Citizen-Times}
+ Stacey Poole Sr. says that his son, Stacey Jr., now has Kentucky as the No. 1 school on his list. {Louisville Courier-Journal}
+ 2010 forward Brandon Mobley, an AAU teammate of 2010 commitment David Williams, will visit Bloomington in November and has the Hoosiers in his final three schools. {Indiana Daily Student}
+ The incoming freshmen will wear the following uniform numbers: Jordan Hulls (1), Christian Watford (2), Maurice Creek (3), Bawa Muniru (15), Bobby Capobianco (23), Derek Elston (32). {IU Hoosiers}
+ 2009-2010 preseason prospectus is available in PDF format. {IU Hoosiers}
+ Courier-Journal recruiting writer Jody Demling held a live chat yesterday and a replay is available. {Louisville Courier-Journal}
+ Florida International threatens to withdraw from the Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament if the Panthers have to open the event against North Carolina rather than Ohio State. Either way, they're still losing by 20+. {ESPN.com}
In case you haven't noticed in the sidebar on the right side of this very page, Indiana has yet to secure a verbal commitment for its 2010 recruiting class. There are two factors playing into this:
1. Tom Crean admitted that the coaching staff has ground to make up in 2010. By the time Crean arrived in Bloomington, many of the top prospects for 2010 were already starting to build solid relationships with other coaching staffs. And the recruiting sanctions placed on Crean over the summer only hampered his ability to get out and build his own relationships.
2. The availability of scholarships for 2010 (or lack thereof) has forced Crean to be more selective on who to target for this class. It's a good bet that only two scholarships (or possibly only one) will be there for the taking.
So who is IU looking at in this class?

Since its a been a little while since I posted an update, as some of you know, my Mother found out that she had Stage IV lung cancer - with the tumor migrating to her spine - shortly after my father died in June. She underwent an initial round of chemo and radiation with some success.
Then her body simply started to break down from the effects of everything. The doctor also openly admitted that he overdid the amount of chemo for one treatment, and she would not listen to advice and did not rest as much as she needed to - or stop smoking (she's smoked for over 60 years - even at this late point, its been shown that quitting smoking can help the treatment work better than it would otherwise). She has had issues with gout for years, and the chemo aggravated that big time... some days, she couldn't even pull on loose house slippers because her feet were so swollen.
Anyway, on the 17th, she was supposed to have a chemo treatment but was so ill her oncologist put her in hospital and she's still there. I flew out to Des Moines on the 29th and got back yesterday. Hospice has been arranged, and ramps are being built on her house in hope that she will get well enough to go home - for a while - until she goes to Taylor House for in-patient hospice. Hospice will still come out and visit her daily while she's at home, manage her pain meds and general care, and she has plenty of relatives and friends in the DSM area to make sure she's well-taken care of and not alone. I am an only child, and, unfortunately, have to work but I will be flying back in a few weeks.
She was supposed to be released on Tuesday of this week, but was too ill and in too much pain. The tumor(s) is feasting on her spine, pelvis and now she has a spot on the back of her skull. Nothing is immediately life-threatening but its a combination of pain, weakness and trying to get her stable enough to send her home. They want to do a couple more radiation treatments on her back as part of pain alleviation although in my estimation its not doing her a hell of a lot of good. Of course, it being hospital, their focus is on acute care rather than pallative as is hospice, where they will give her as much pain meds as is safe and keeping her conscious and alert.
This has been very hard to watch. Some of it is due to, as I've explained to others, the "Medical Crisis" my family has been in starting in 1976, when Dad had his heart attack and first bypass. My parents love Springer-esque drama and one reason I moved so far away - and I love them, but - the drama will just eat you alive. Dad was supposed to die so many times, and, um, he didn't - in 87, when he had his 2nd bypass they said he'd live 2 years - well, he died in June at 75. So they were kind of wrong.
I was hoping with my father's passing that my Mom, who basically gave up her adult life to stay a prisoner in the house and take care of him - he'd fuss if she was gone more than 20 minutes to the store - that she'd have an opportunity to get out of the cage, but no... and she knew she was sick for months but taking care of Dad was more important to her and she was worried that "seeing me like this would have killed him." Well, um, there's no way of knowing but if she'd gotten in sooner perhaps they might have been able to extend her life rather than what the treatment has done - at least IMHO - which is to shorten her time vs. doing nothing but pain relief at this point.
Not really asking for sympathy or empathy from any of you. My mother is not afraid to die, and we speak openly of how to deal with stuff once she is gone. She has always darkly said as long as I've known that "the cancer is going to get me like it got my aunts and my grandmother" and that would always p'o me as cancer does like to get people who smoke and won't take care of themselves... and yet she wouldn't change her behavior but make excuses that "it won't matter..."
Watching her in so much pain - tough. Its a little deceiving when you walk into her room as she's always been a little vain and had propecia for a long time and has worn wigs for several years, so with the wig on, and a little lipstick she doesn't look like a 74 year old cancer patient with 3-6 months to live. The thing that's driving me nuts is while the cancer may not ultimately been avoidable, much of the situation she's in medically right now could be different.
I left her Tuesday evening wondering if this would be the last time I see her alive ... we talk daily as she has a cell I gave her. Right as I'm getting on the plane to Sacramento in O'Hare yesterday - the door had been shut and its almost turn off cell phone time - I get a call from my cousin's wife, who is the main info conduit, saying "They're taking your Mom for a scoping - she just threw up 500ccs of blood this morning." It turned out its an ulcer - and an old one in their estimation - that was clipped off, but now they're saying Tuesday - maybe - for her getting out.
Welcome to our health care system, boys and girls, as my GF points out. There's got to be a better way for us to handle end-of-life issues rather than throw tech at the probs. I'm at the point where if I were her, I'd say "take me to Taylor House, get the pain under control, and let me go home for a few days... even if that is all I have left."
Thanks for letting me vent.

1 "And so then, O priests, this command is for you: 2If you will not listen, and if you will not take it to heart#Literally, "place it on your heart" to give glory to my name," says Yahweh of hosts, "then I will send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings; moreover I have already cursed them because you are not taking it to heart.#Literally "you are not placing it on your heart" 3Look! I am going to rebuke your offspring,#Literally "for you the offspring" and I will scatter offal on your faces, the offal of your religious feasts, and you will be carried to it.#The Hebrew is difficult. The subject is indefinite, and "it" likely refers to a refuse or waste pile
4"Then you will know that I have sent to you this command, that my covenant with Levi continues,"#Literally "be" says Yahweh of hosts. 5"My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him. This required reverence, and he revered#Or "feared" me and stood in awe before#Literally "from the face of" my name. 6The instruction of truth#Or "law of truth" was in his mouth, and wickedness was not found on his lips. In peace and in uprightness#Or "rectitude," or "fairness" he walked with me, and he brought back many from sin.#Or "iniquity" 7For the lips of the priest should guard knowledge, and they should seek instruction#Or "law" from his mouth, for he is the messenger of Yahweh of hosts. 8But you, you have turned from the way; you have caused many to stumble by your instruction;#Or "the law" you have ruined the covenant of Levi," says Yahweh of hosts. 9"And in turn I have made you despised and humbled before all the people, inasmuch as you are not keeping#Or "observing" my way, but are favoring your own instruction."#Literally "lifting faces in the instruction/law"
Yahweh Hates Faithlessness
10Do we not all have#Literally "Is for all of us not" one father? Has not one God created us? Why then are we unfaithful to one another,#Literally "each man to his brother" profaning the covenant of our ancestors?#Or "fathers" 11Judah has been faithless, and a detestable thing has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem. Judah has profaned the sanctuary of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign#Or "pagan" god. 12May Yahweh cut off from the tents of Jacob the man who does this, the one who is awake and who answers, and the one who brings an offering to Yahweh of hosts!
13And this you do as well:#Literally "a second time" you cover the altar of Yahweh with tears, with weeping and with groaning, because he#Yahweh no longer regards the offering#Literally "there is no longer turning to the offering" or accepts it with favor from your hand. 14But you ask, "For what reason?"#Literally "Because of what?" Because Yahweh stands as a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have been unfaithful, even though she is your marriage partner and your wife by covenant.#Literally "the wife of your covenant" 15Did not one God make them?#Literally "Not one did he make" But a remnant of the spirit is his.#The meaning of this sentence is difficult; literally "And a remnant of the spirit to him" And what does the one God desire? An offspring of God.#Or "a godly offspring" You must be attentive to#Literally "You must keep watch on" your spirit, and you must not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth. 16"For I hate divorce,"#Hebrew "sending away" says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and he who covers his clothing with violence," says Yahweh of hosts. "You must be attentive to#Literally "You must keep watch on" your spirit and you must not be unfaithful."
17You have wearied Yahweh with your words, but you ask, "With what have we wearied him?" You have done so when you say,#Literally "at your saying" "Everyone who does evil is good in the sight#Literally "eyes" of Yahweh, and in them he delights," or "Where is the God of justice?"

I write software for myself, often for no other reason than that I want to. (What I call recreational programming.)
Actually, I'm currently forcibly confined to recreational programming, as I'm looking for a job.

Between league meets and Saturday tournaments, the Cicero-North Syracuse and Liverpool wrestling teams were very busy in a four-day stretch leading up to the holiday school break.
It all started last Wednesday night, when the Northstars visited West Genesee and provided strong bookends in the course of beating the Wildcats 59-18.
Opening at 126 pounds, C-NS won the first three bouts. Richard Dennis, at 126, rolled past Casey Bedell 11-1, while Brandon Burnham (132 pounds) took a forfeit and Joe Copani, at 138 pounds, held on for a 6-4 victory over Odae Badwan.
Then, from 220 pounds until the 120-pound finale, the Northstars went a perfect six-for-six. Andres Anoceto began that string at 220, handling Keisean Canery 10-1, before Jared West (285 pounds) pinned Ethan Coates in 41 seconds.
David Ciciarelli, at 99 pounds, took just 62 seconds to finish off Marcello Barbuto. Forfeits to Ray Sorenson (106 pounds) and Anthony DiMaria (113 pounds) followed, and at 120 Joe Barber finished it off, taking 1:52 to pin Mike Linton.
In the six matches in between, WG did win four times, but two of them were forfeits. Plus, the Northstars still interceded at 160 pounds, where Anthony Carella pinned Shayne Middleton with 38 seconds left, and 170 pounds, where Sam Ruiz claimed yet another forfeit.
Then, when it was Liverpool's turn to face Central Square Thursday night, it used a sweep of the four highest weight classes to put away the Red Hawks in a 48-26 verdict.
Two of those matches didn't take long. Louis Ragonese, at 182, needed just 36 seconds to pin Tyler Seaone, while David Carnie (285) earned his fall over Cody Stone in 1:09.
In between those bouts, it proved a lot closer for Mark Williamson (195) and Ron Wilson (220). Williamson stayed patient and pulled out a 2-0 decision over Justin Lanning, while Wilson, with a point in overtime, edged past Elijah Sampo 5-4.

The 2014 St.Maarten Heineken Regatta's first race took place on March 6th with the Gill Commodore's Cup and wrapped up three days later on Sunday March 9th. The event is a unique blend of international sailing and musical talent; each day brings a new finish locations and an incredible party atmosphere with bands from around the world.
La Divina leaving the dock - 2014 Heineken Regatta
This was my second time doing the St.Maarten Heineken Regatta; the first time was in 2006. I can honestly say that the parties have just gotten better! The regatta advertises itself as 'Serious Fun' and they weren't kidding!
I was lucky to be provided a Delphia 40.3 for the race by Delphia North America and it was well prepared with all new sails and great crew from Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron. Peter Blunden brought his Beneteau 42.3 along as our support boat, as well to make things much easier for us. It's amazing what a good bottle of scotch will get you!
The breeze was on from the beginning with a strong steady flow in the 18-20 knots range for most days. Some boats had serious trouble handling these steady strong conditions and damaged equipment and crew members.
The start line was extremely competitive in every division and skippers here in every class were knowledgeable and fast. If you made any mistakes, you paid for it, and quickly! Sometimes you get lucky though; in one case, Derek Hatfield on Spirit of Adventure was about to be overtaken to windward by Idea of London, a fast R/P 78, when suddenly, the maxi's main halyard let go and the entire sail fell to the boom in a split second! They then immediately retired and Derek banged out the corner to get to the windward mark first! Nice!
There were also several collisions during the race which was probably inevitable given the large number of entries, over 215 yachts, and the challenging conditions. One collision saw a J-30 get punched at the first windward mark by one of the larger boats and I understand two people were seriously injured.
I skippered 'La Divina' in CSA 8. I couldn't believe how competitive even our division was; we were the slowest yacht in the division racing against brand new pimped out Contest 42, Dufour 45, Beneteau Oceanis 45 and Jeanneau SO 52 and number of others. We finished seventh out of 17!
Other notables included Rob Gale (RNSYS) on Stark Raving Mad winning their division. Nice to see since Rob was part of the team that won the Sail Canada Rolex Sailor of the Year last month in Toronto.
A new party and band every night - 2014 Heineken Regatta
It wouldn't be a Caribbean party without the girls! - 2014 Heineken Regatta
The parties here are an important part of the event! There is something big and fun every night here! Friday Night featured a huge event on the beach in Phillipsburg with an amazing tribute to Bob Marley. Friday evening the party moved to France after the race to Marigot, and biggest one of all was Sunday night on Kim Sha beach in Simpson's Bay which was completely electrified!
Serious racing for real trophies! - 2014 Heineken Regatta
For the first time this year the St.Maarten Heineken Regatta the bridge openings in to a fun event thanks to The Yacht Shop, a local yacht broker with ties to Canada. One more thing, they had a contest for everyone going though the bridge canal for originality and team spirit and a lot of boats 'dressed up' for this popular event. The bar right on the canal provided a perfect vantage point; it was packed with spectators cheering and drinking Heineken beer. The judges for this competition included Che Decastro from The Yacht Shoppe who has contributed as a sponsor and generous host for those finishing the Lake Ontario 300 in previous years with a large yacht and cold beer waiting for finishers. Che gave us an extra point for having a Lake Ontario 300 sticker on our bow! There are some great prizes courtesy of Pineapple Pete's, Sushitto and Captain Morgan's Rum.
Mike Disch and Che Decastro, partners at The Yacht Shop, claim to be impartial with their scoring
It was an amazing experience to say the least! The racing was superb, and the parties were the best on the Caribbean circuit. I hope I can get back here next year to do it again!

I'm building up a frame with a Centaur CT 34/50 crank and an 8sp 13-30 cassette using downtube friction shifters. I need a front derailleur, and I'm wondering how well the Centaur FD made for a compact double will work with a wide chain. I'd like to use an 8sp chain since they're so cheap and reliable, but I could go 9 sp. Still, this front derailleur is designed for a 10 speed, so I'm concerned the extra chain width will result in either too much rubbing, or too much trimming.
Any thoughts? ("Search" wasn't working for me today, so forgive me if this has been discussed previously)

After assisting like many of you on the controversy of guruboolez' tests concerning the Nero AAC encoders and having seen many suggestions towards preparing a listening test around 48kbps - in particular with the different HE encoders, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I currently have 8 samples testing for tonality, transients and stereo separation. These are generally classical music, but also include electronic music, 80s pop, and I might add a jazz recording for ambience reproduction.
As for encoders, I'm stumped.
Should I also include an old version of nero (old being relative) as to see the progress in a general evaluation ? At this bitrate, many encoders is not really a problem, is it? For now, I was thinking :
-Nero AAC Tape / PNS Enabled / HE / High (Should I enable hint track?)
-Ogg Vorbis, latest AoTuV, q -2 to -4 (whatever's approximately the same bitrates ~42-53)
-Lame ABR 48 (any tunings suggested?)
-mp3pro, probably, at any close bitrate I can achieve (adobe audition's encoder)
-Itunes AAC (HE if available)
-CT encoder (winamp 5.12) 48kbps, HE.
If I should use an older nero as well, where can I find it?
Also, could anyone help me prepare the ABC/HR logs? (eg, Sebastian Mares)
Thanks in advance,

QUOTE (fpi @ Dec 14 2005, 10:45 AM)
Before testing aoTuV beta 4.51 would be interesting compare beta 4.51 with beta 4, looking which has better quality (beta 4.51 should have better quallity with q < 3, but no one have confirmed it).
i cant hear any difference between them, the latest version should probably be used unless problems are found.
suggested encoding settings:
vorbis aotuv b4.51: -q -.5 --resample 37800 --advanced-encode-option lowpass_frequency=17
lame v3.93.1: -q 1 -V 9 --lowpass 9 --resample 22 --nspsytune (about 48kbps, and sounds better than lame3.97 abr 48 IMO)
what about including plusV in this test? (i know, i know, its old and dead, but it is meant to be used with low bitrates) the only improvement i have hacked into the plusV reference software is control over the plusV bands, the ability to encode down to 16khz input, and the ability to have full control over how the mp3 portion is encoded . Was plusV ever included in any listening tests? I for one am curious how people would rate it.
edit: corrected lame command line
edit2: 'better' vorbis settings

I had a Nikon SB24 that I liked and the SB26's are nice as well and either goes pretty reasonable in price. I would advise tho that if you have a handheld meter to test any flash for true output.

HOUSTON (March 18, 2009) – Just in time for Spring Break and the upcoming prom season, the Harris County Hospital District launched its presentation of Shattered Dreams, a program at area high schools that dramatizes the deadly consequences of underage drinking and driving.
Shattered Dreams is an educational experience developed by the Texas Alcoholic BeverageCommission to remind teenagers about the dangers associated with drinking and driving. It reminds the public that too many young people have died and countless others severely impaired because of underage drinking and drinking and driving.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Houston and Harris County are among the top regions in the nation for alcohol-related traffic fatalities recording 1,172 for the period of 2002-2006.
Ben Taub General Hospital, part of the Harris County Hospital District, treats many of the area's crash victims as the city's busiest emergency center at its Ginni and Richard Mithoff Trauma Center. Members of the hospital's Trauma Services Department coordinate outreach programs like Shattered Dreams to help prevent future accidents.
The hospital also plays an integral part in the day-long activities of Shattered Dreams. Each re-enactment of a deadly vehicle accident is held on or near the campus and involves the participation of students and parents as victims, family, friends, as well as a suspected drunk driver. The scene unfolds with a complement of police, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, funeral hearses, court hearings, family notifications and the arrest and booking of a drunk driver.
The first of HCHD's four scheduled Shattered Dreams this school year was March 5 at Klein Collins High School in Spring. The re-enactment was performed in front of a student body of 1,500 juniors and seniors.
Among the participants in the staged drama were Rhonda and Glenn Glasco and their 17-year-old daughter, Lauren. For the Glascos, playing the role of grieving parents was at times too real. Even some spectators wiped away tears as they watched the couple's emotional reaction to seeing their daughter placed in a body bag and wheeled into a hearse.
"I knew it was all an act, but seeing your child pretend to be dead and in a body bag made it too real," said Rhonda Glasco. "Just this morning my husband and I saw her get ready for school, and now she's pretending to be dead."
Even her father, Glenn Glasco, lost himself in the role. "I knew it was all make believe, but when you think that it could happen, you lose it," he said. "I cried a lot, and I wasn't expecting that."
Ben Taub Hospital will coordinate other high school Shattered Dreams presentations April 8 at Klein, April 15 at Klein Oak and May 14 at Atascocita. The staff has organized presentations since 2006 at other high schools including Cesar Chavez, Galena Park and Sam Houston.
"When these preventable accidents occur, they not only affect the victims, but also their families, friends, health care providers, law enforcement, school officials and others," said Robin Garza, hospital event coordinator. "This is a tragic domino effect we want to stop before it starts."
Senior Jessica Welshans, 18, believes Shattered Dreams makes a difference. "Telling us about the dangers of drinking and driving just doesn't compare to showing us," she said.
Among the spectators, 70 parents witnessed the four-vehicle re-enactment. The staging involved a number of agencies: Cypress Creek EMS, Spring Fire Department, Klein ISD Police, PHI Medical Helicopter, Brookside Funeral Home, Palm Spring Recovery and Harris County Precinct 4 Constables.
School nurse and event organizer Sue Wilkins said officials added an overnight stay at a local church for 40 students because of the overwhelming student response to the program. The church group mirrored a group of 40 others who spent an overnight stay at Ben Taub Hospital. Students at both gatherings listened to speakers, watched educational videos and wrote letters to parents pledging never to drink and drive.
"This is something that we will never forget and that Lauren will remember the rest of her life," Rhonda Glasco said. "I don't want anyone to feel the loss of a child. Thank goodness this is just make believe."

Too many student & mentor poets today are missing each other. We have this thing called the internet to connect them, but no network getting it done.
Until now. For the past year Brooklyn Poets has been designing and laying the groundwork for such a network. In homage to Hart Crane, we call this The Bridge. And you can help build it.
- Help student poets find mentor poets to get critiques of their work without having to go through a workshop structure or writing program.
- Help mentor poets find student poets by offering critiquing services — at their own prices.
Students find mentors for less money than a workshop or writing program would cost, and mentors get paid without having to land one of those hard-to-find teaching jobs. It's that simple.
Students choose mentors based on price, services offered, location and other factors such as skills and stylistic influences. If they like, they can sign up for workshops proposed by mentors--workshops not governed by the mandates of any institution, for however long mentors want, with however many students, at whatever price, online or on site.
You'll have Readers, not Followers.
You'll create new work. Each week on The Bridge we'll feature a poetry assignment proposed by a mentor in our community.
Sharing your work will be a creative process. You can choose images to represent your poems and captions to go with them—like book covers for your individual poems. Add tags so readers can find your poems based on similar interests.
When a reader clicks on one of your poems, a lightbox
will open up featuring the text of the poem in a clean layout. Readers can
comment on your work, like it or star it for safekeeping in their own catalogue of favorite poems, quotes, words and books on The Bridge.
Awesome, right? You can share your favorite quotes and words on the Bridge as well as your books in the same beautiful format as your poems. You can include photos of your writing space and library along with your bio, skills and influences and links to other sites.
All this to put more attention on reading and the written word than ever before, to create a deeper, more dynamic community of readers and writers.
Check out the FAQ at the bottom of this page for more details on how mentorship on The Bridge will work. Scroll through all those awesome perks on the way!
Worstofalldesign, the design team behind the new Brooklyn Poets website, has already designed The Bridge—we've covered that expense. And we've already paid our programming team to build the invite portion of the site so you can create an account right now and reserve your username for only a $10 donation. But the cost to develop the entire Bridge is steep; after all, this is a social networking site with an e-commerce platform built in.
We could wait, and try to accrue the funds ourselves--but that could take years. Help us fund The Bridge now and we can have it up and running by the beginning of next year. Help pay for something that will pay you back. If you're looking for mentors and workshops, finding them on The Bridge will cost you far less than enrolling in a graduate writing program—and you'll have hundreds of mentors and workshops to choose from! If you're a published poet looking for work, you can make money from the expertise that is not currently being rewarded on the job market.
We've set our fundraising goal at $20,000 but the total cost of development is $28,000. Help us meet our initial goal and we can begin development of The Bridge but will take on debt. Remember, even if we hit our initial goal, we lose 7% to Indiegogo and credit card fees and must also take out the cost of producing & shipping our perks--and that ain't cheap. If we don't hit our goal, we lose 12%!
Our stretch goal is $40,000. Help us hit that goal and we can cover all the fees and production & shipping costs and fund the complete development of The Bridge.
As Jay-Z might say, We invented swag. We're gonna hook you up with something awesome for your money.

Lemon Andersen Straightrazor Book-Launch
(for STRAIGHTRAZOR and VOYAGER and higher perks)
On Thursday, November 21, the final night of this campaign, Brooklyn Poets will present a book-launch benefit performance by Tony Award winner Lemon Andersen at the Irondale in Fort Greene. Andersen will read from his new collection of poems, Straightrazor, and all ticket holders will receive a signed copy of the book. Doors open at 7, performance at 7:30.
Raised in Brooklyn, Lemon Andersen watched his mother, father and stepfather die from heroin abuse and AIDS complications, leaving him and his brother to grow up alone and impoverished. But his passion for poetry, hip hop and acting led him to gifted mentors who recognized his talent and encouraged him to develop as an artist and a performer. As a poet he appeared the greatest number of times on HBO'S Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry--eight times in six seasons. He won a Tony award for his writing and performance as an original cast member of Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry Jam on Broadway, for which he was also nominated for a Drama Desk Award. His staged memoir County of Kings: The Beautiful Struggle, produced by Spike Lee, premiered at the Public Theater in 2009 to rave reviews from the New York Times, New Yorker and Brooklyn Rail, among others. Since then, he has toured the one-man show--which took the grand prize at the 2010 New York Book Festival--at campuses and theaters across the U.S. and on three continents. More recently, Andersen was the feature of the internationally acclaimed documentary Lemon, screened in 2012-2013 at film festivals and performing arts centers across North America.

If you want to contribute and like one of our tees but prefer to buy it individually, visit our swag store and get it there--though you're getting a deal and saving on shipping through these perk packages. Or come to one of our upcoming events (YAWP or Reading Series) and get some swag or make a donation there. Or visit our Memberships & Donations page and contribute that way. Or just spread the word on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc, or by writing an article or blogging about The Bridge. Every little bit helps.
Will The Bridge be free?
Yes. Anyone can use The Bridge for free. If you'd like to request a critique from a mentor or take a workshop, you'd pay whatever price was set by the mentor; but there is no requirement to do that. If you're simply interested in sharing your work on The Bridge and exploring others', that's all you have to do!
Why do I have to pay at all?
We'd love to make everything free on The Bridge. But the fact is, mentor poets are already underpaid and overworked, and we're trying to help them as much as the students--we're trying to help them help each other. We're trying to change the culture of poetry education in this country, not contribute to the problem. You'd be paying a mentor because you value his or her particular expertise (that, say, your mom who loves all your poems can't offer), because that mentor is taking time out of what's likely a very busy schedule to give your work the sustained, focused attention it deserves.
How many poems can I have critiqued and what will it cost?
You can submit any number of poems for critique based on the bundles offered by the mentor you choose. Brooklyn Poets will recommend several bundles to mentors at what we think are reasonable prices--and let the mentors decide what's right for them. For example:
- 1 poem (1 pg) $15
- 1-2 poems (2 pgs) $20
- 3-5 poems (3-6 pgs) $40
- Writing sample (10-12 pgs) $70
- Chapbook (24-32 pgs) $100
- Full-length book (48-64 pgs) $145
But what if I can't afford a mentor?
Here's the cool part: you can get free critiques. You can submit individual poems to the free critiques queue on The Bridge, which a prospective mentor will critique as part of the application process--you just wouldn't know the mentor's work or skills/influences or how long it would take to get your feedback.
Can mentors choose which poems they want to critique?
Yes. We don't think mentors should have to critique work they're not the best judge of--this doesn't serve the student or the mentor. Mentors can preview student work submitted for critique and accept or decline it. If declined a critique, students can move on to find other mentors without wasting their time or money on a mentor who's not excited about their work.
Can students provide feedback on mentors' critiques?
Yes. After receiving a critique or taking a workshop, students can leave feedback about a mentor's work, which only we and the mentor will see. Mentors can earn stars based on the number of positive ratings they receive. The better the critiques, the more stars a mentor can earn, attracting more students. Too many negative ratings of a certain kind and a poet can be stripped of mentorship privileges.
Is a comment on a poem the same thing as a critique?
No. Anyone is free to comment on a poem on The Bridge, including mentors, but that is not what we mean by a critique. A critique would be, at the very least, a rigorous written response to a student's work that a mentor would return to a student's inbox on The Bridge. A mentor might offer more critiquing services than that for a higher price, including off-site phone or video conferencing or in-person meetings, but that is up to each mentor.
How will mentors get paid?
Students will pay mentors for critiques and workshops through our secure e-commerce platform. Mentors will get paid by direct deposit into the bank account they've linked to the site. Brooklyn Poets will take a small percentage of the payment for setting up, handling and securing the transaction.
When will I get my perks?
We're planning to have any material perks to you by Christmas (wristbands, tees, books, etc.), so you can enjoy your holiday season in style and/or give someone else the gift of swag. You can get The Bridge perk right now for any $10-and-above contribution--we'll send you an invite so you can reserve your username before the network opens to the public. Straightrazor, Voyager, Bard and Lemon's Crew perks can be picked up on November 21, the night of Lemon Andersen's performance at the Irondale in Fort Greene, provided we already have them in stock. If your perk includes a Brooklyn Poets membership, the membership begins the date you make your contribution and is good for one year; so if you purchase the Voyager perk, for instance, you'll get free admission to the next Yawp on our calendar.
How do I choose what I want if my perk includes options?
Once we've received your contribution, we'll contact you to find out which t-shirt color/style/size you want, or which faculty book or B.I.G. photo, etc.
Is my contribution tax-deductible?
Not yet. We're incorporated as a 501(c)(3)-type nonprofit in New York, but are still in the process of applying for 501(c)(3) status from the IRS, so contributions are not yet tax-deductible but hopefully will be soon.

1. Nikon F2AS, Nikon F2A and a pair of Nikon F3HPs for 35mm shooting. A 500C/M with a 50, 80 and 150 for medium format work.
2. Kodachrome 25 and 64for all my colour work, Kodak Tri-x, Ilford PanF and HP5 for black and white.
3. Kodak paper (Polycontrast?)
4. An Omega D2.
So...beyond updating my 35mm bodies, adding in a Leica rangefinder system, and accumulating a lot more lenses (in both 35mm format and 120), I have made only minor changes (Ilford for all my paper and the lion's share of film and chemistry, and Ektachrome for almost all my colour work) to my photography (if the tragic loss of Kodachrome can be deemed minor).

DENVER (AP) A woman accused of neglecting her four sons and keeping them in a filthy Denver apartment has reached a plea with prosecutors.
Lorinda Bailey pleaded guilty to a second offense of child abuse on Friday. In exchange, six other counts are being dropped.
Proceedings against the boys' father, Wayne Sperling, are on hold as he undergoes a mental health evaluation.
Bailey and Sperling were accused of keeping their four boys, ages 2 to 6, in an apartment filled with cat feces and flies. When police found the children in October, they could communicate only in grunts, were malnourished and weren't toilet trained.
They previously lost custody of other children amid similar allegations.

December 1, 2015
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Tennessee and Coach Bruce Pearl are parting ways, sources close to the program report.
Pearl's termination comes in the wake of his September admission that he broke NCAA rules, then lied to investigators about his illegal behavior.
The University of Tennessee received a letter of allegations from the NCAA in February accusing Pearl and his assistants of committing several major violations.
Further questions over Pearl's future began to swirl on the eve of the NCAA Tournament when athletic director Mike Hamilton said during a radio interview that he wasn't sure whether Pearl will be the Vols' coach next season.
Pearl leaves Tennessee after six seasons of unprecedented on-court success. He led the Vols to six consecutive NCAA tournaments and five 20-win seasons.
The Vols ranked in the top five nationally in attendance during Pearl's tenure. Every player who spent four years in Pearl's program received a college degree.
Pearl took Tennessee to the Elite Eight in 2010 for the first time in school history. But ultimately, the NCAA issues proved to difficult for the coach to overcome.

Honda Invests Across The Supply Chain
Japanese autos manufacturer Honda Motor is to invest US$470mn to build a transmission plant in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato. We believe that ongoing investments in the region suggest that it is fast becoming a production hub, and we expect to see continued investment in area in the future. Furthermore, BMI maintains a bullish outlook for vehicle production in the country, which should continue to drive growth across the supply chain.
The plant is set to open in the second half of 2015, with an annual production capacity of 350,000 transmission units, and will employ 1,500 workers. Honda expects that the site will eventually make 700,000 transmissions per year, raising the company's capacity in North America (that is, US, Canada, and Mexico) to over two million units per year.
Honda currently has one vehicle manufacturing site in Mexico, which produces around 63,000 units annually. Further, the company is building another site, in the state of Guanajuato, which will have an annual capacity of 200,000 units from February 2014.
BMI maintains a bullish outlook on the auto production industry in the country, predicated on low labour costs, relative weakness in the peso, and comparative weakness in the productive capacity of Mexico's regional competitors. Further, many automakers in the country increasingly use domestically produced parts to fulfil local content requirements for tax breaks ( see our online service, February 8, 'Suppliers Continue To Invest As Production Soars' ).
As manufacturers continue to invest in the country, they will increasingly invest across the supply chain, allowing the sector to mature and also facilitating greater investment in the industry. We expect this to continue.
Production Cluster
A number of auto companies have invested in the central Mexican states, and the area is fast becoming a key site for industrial productivity ( see 'Central Mexican States Set For An Economic Boom', April 3 ). BMI believes that as the area develops , companies will be increasingly keen to invest, as a consolidated manufacturing base would offer a number of cost-reducing opportunities, such as economies of scale, availability of skilled labour, and good infrastructure and transport links. This is in line with Honda's latest investment.
