Hi everyone
My name is Coach Beez and I reside in the Southern California area. I was a high school alll-american, played D-1 basketball at Notre Dame and CAL, and then played 10 professional seasons in Europe. I now work as a private instructor, running also my own camps and clinics. In my years as a coach, I have seen what I believe to be the wrong approach to your child.
I truly feel to get the most out of your child in sports is to keep it FUN. I think this is easier if your son or daughter is not the most talented players. Where it becomes a challenge is when your child has some noticeable strengths in the sport, because a parent suddenly changes THEIR outlook on where this talented youngster could end up ( ie; a college scholarship )
Don't forget that what made them good was not only their physical gifts, but also because it was FUN! The moment you step in and start taking stats, or pushing them to practice, or telling them how to play, is when the road to burn out begins. Trust me, I've seen it over and over again. And I know parents have the right intentions. Parents think that if they don't say anything, then their child will not succeed.
Talking about it 24-7 and putting too much focus on the way they perform will only bring addded pressure, and with that added pressure comes lower performance levels.
I once interviewed a great frind of mine Doug Collins, now the coach for the 76ers. He told me in the interview that he often speaks at many high school basketball elite camps, and that during his talk he does a question and answer session. He will always ask the same question:
" Raise your hand if, after a bad game, your parents are the LAST people you want to see? "
Regularly it's around 90% of the kids that raise their hands. Coach Collins also said that the problem with parents is that they need to be disappointed FOR their child, NOT disappointed IN their child.
If this is you, it's not too late to change. All you have to do is tell your child you love them and never speak about their performance. Win or lose, bad game or good game, just hug them and say " I love you ".

Sarasota County creates homeless coordinator position
Published: Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 10:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 10:53 p.m.
SARASOTA - In another sign of commitment to addressing homelessness, Sarasota County has created a homeless coordinator.
Wayne Applebee, the county's criminal justice policy coordinator, will shift to the new post over the next few weeks, and said he will likely remain homeless coordinator for a couple of years.
Robert Marbut, a consultant local governments hired to come up with a plan to decrease the number of people living in camps, cars and shelters, has repeatedly suggested that one person needs to wake up every morning and ask what they can do to address homelessness in the area.
He cited Rhonda Abbott, the former homeless services manager in St. Petersburg. She worked closely with Marbut when her city contracted with him in 2011.
Applebee said county officials approached him about the new job last week.
Once Marbut completes his plan, which is expected by the end of November, Applebee will move to implement it, assuing the community adopts Marbut's recommendations.
The coordinator announced his new position Thursday at a meeting of the Community Alliance's subcommittee on homelessness.
The agency and community leaders at the meeting discussed new data they collected on homeless men and women living in Sarasota County.
Marbut had directed the agencies to spend a week gathering the best numbers possible on homeless adults in the county, particularly those who are unsheltered.
The data, compiled by the Suncoast Partnership to End Homelessness, showed 1,460 men and women were homeless and of those, 655 were living outside of shelters — in camps and on the streets.
Many people at the meeting said the focus on adults resulted in inaccurate information on the number of children. The 161 boys and girls who reported being homeless is well below the real numbers, Schoolhouse Link Director Ellen McLaughlin said.
The group decided to conduct a community-led survey of children.
But Steve Prichard, of Venice, said that he has helped with many local surveys. When he gets homeless people's names and information, they ask him when the community is going to act on the information they repeatedly collect.
"It seems to me we've been doing surveys and census things for years," Prichard said. "I'm waiting for something to actually happen. Not another survey."

Test Overview
A prostate gland biopsy is a test to remove small samples of prostate tissue to be examined under a microscope.
For a prostate biopsy, a thin needle is inserted through the rectum (transrectal biopsy), through the urethra, or through the area between the anus and scrotum (perineum). A transrectal biopsy is the most common method used. The tissue samples taken during the biopsy are examined for cancer cells.
A biopsy may be done when a blood test shows a high level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or after a digital rectal examination finds an abnormal prostate or a lump.
Why It Is Done
A prostate biopsy is done to determine:
How To Prepare
Tell your doctor if you:
- Have had any bleeding problems.
- Are allergic to latex or any medicines, including anesthetics.
- Take any medicines regularly. Be sure your doctor knows the names and doses of all your medicines.
- Are taking any blood-thinning medicines, such as warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, enoxaparin (Lovenox), aspirin, ibuprofen, or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
You will be asked to sign a consent form that says you understand the risks of the test and agree to have it done.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the biopsy, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of the biopsy, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
If a prostate biopsy is done under local anesthesia through the area between the anus and scrotum (perineum), no other special preparation is needed.
If the biopsy is done through the rectum, you may need to have an enema before the biopsy.
If the biopsy is done under general anesthesia, your doctor will tell you how soon before surgery to stop eating and drinking. Follow the instructions exactly about when to stop eating and drinking, or your surgery may be canceled. If your doctor has instructed you to take your medicines on the day of the surgery, please do so using only a sip of water.
During preparation for the biopsy, an intravenous line (IV) is inserted in your arm, and a sedative medicine is given about an hour before the biopsy.
How It Is Done
This biopsy is done by a doctor who specializes in men's genital and urinary problems (urologist) in the doctor's office, a day surgery clinic, or a hospital operating room.
Before your prostate biopsy, you may be given antibiotics to prevent infection. You may be asked to take off all of your clothes and put on a hospital gown.
Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is commonly used to guide the placement of the needle during a prostate biopsy.
Through the rectum (transrectal biopsy)
Several positions are possible for this method. You may be asked to kneel, lie on your side, or lie on your back with your feet resting in stirrups. Your doctor may inject a local anesthetic around the prostate gland before the biopsy is taken.
Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is generally used to guide the needle to the correct biopsy location. A prostate biopsy is usually done with a spring-loaded needle. The needle quickly enters the prostate gland and removes a tissue sample. Between 6 and 12 samples are taken from different areas of the prostate.
The biopsy can also be done with a needle guide attached to your doctor's finger. He or she inserts the finger into the rectum. Then the needle is slid along the guide, through the wall of the rectum, and into the prostate gland. The needle is turned to collect a tissue sample and then pulled out.
A transrectal biopsy takes about 30 minutes.
Through the urethra (transurethral biopsy)
For this method, you will lie on your back with your feet resting in stirrups. General, spinal, or local anesthesia may be used.
A lighted scope (cystoscope) is inserted into your urethra. It allows your doctor to look directly at the prostate gland. A cutting loop is passed through the cystoscope to remove small pieces of prostate tissue.
A transurethral biopsy usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Through the perineum (transperineal biopsy)
Transperineal biopsy is not done as commonly as transrectal or transurethral biopsy. You will lie on an examining table either on your side or on your back with your knees bent. General or local anesthesia may be used.
Your skin at the biopsy site is cleaned with an antiseptic solution, and the area around it is covered with sterile cloth. Your doctor will wear sterile gloves. It is very important that you do not touch this sterile area.
Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is generally used to guide the needle to the correct biopsy location.
A small cut (incision) is made in your perineum. Your doctor inserts a finger into the rectum to hold the prostate gland and then inserts the needle through the incision and into the prostate gland. To collect a sample of tissue, the needle is gently turned and then pulled out. Biopsy samples may be taken from several areas of the prostate. Pressure is applied to stop the bleeding, and a small bandage is placed over the cut. The biopsy usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
How It Feels
You may feel a slight sting when you receive an injection of medicine to numb your skin. You may feel a dull pressure as the biopsy needle is inserted. For a transrectal biopsy, you may feel pressure in the rectum while the ultrasound probe or guiding finger is in place. You also may feel a brief, sharp pain as the biopsy needle is inserted into the prostate gland. Usually several biopsy samples are collected.
Following the biopsy, you will be asked to avoid strenuous activities for about 4 hours. You may have mild pain in the pelvic area and blood in your urine for up to 5 days. Also, you may have some discoloration of your semen for up to 1 month after the biopsy. If you had a transrectal biopsy, you may experience a small amount of bleeding from your rectum for 2 to 3 days after the biopsy.
If you have a transurethral biopsy, you may have a urinary catheter in place for a few hours after the biopsy. You also may need to take an antibiotic medicine for several days after the biopsy.
If you have a general anesthetic, you will be in a recovery room for a few hours after the biopsy. You will need someone to drive you home when you are released. When you get home, your muscles may ache and you may feel tired for the rest of the day.
A prostate biopsy has a slight risk of causing problems such as:
- Infection. This is more common in men who have undiagnosed prostatitis. Usually, taking antibiotic medicine before the biopsy prevents an infection from developing.
- Bleeding into the urethra or bladder. This can cause a blood blister (hematoma), an inability to urinate, or a need to urinate often.
- Bleeding from the rectum. If you have a transrectal biopsy, you may experience a small amount of bleeding from your rectum for 2 to 3 days after the biopsy.
- An allergic reaction to the anesthetic medicines used during the biopsy.
After the biopsy
Call your doctor immediately if you:
- Have heavy bleeding or bleeding continues longer than 2 to 3 days.
- Have increased pain.
- Have a fever.
- Are unable to urinate within 8 hours or have blood in the urine for longer than 2 to 3 days.
A prostate gland biopsy is a test to remove small samples of prostate tissue to be examined under a microscope. Results are usually available within 10 days.
The prostate gland tissue samples appear normal under the microscope, with no signs of infection or cancer.
Cancer cells or signs of infection are found.
Signs of an abnormal noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH), tuberculosis, lymphoma, or rectal or bladder cancer are present.
If cancer cells are present, a grade (Gleason score) will be given, which your doctor will discuss with you. The Gleason score is considered a tool for predicting how aggressive the cancer is.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- The biopsy may not contain enough tissue to make a diagnosis.
- A chance that a cancer may be missed since the biopsy takes a small amount of tissue.
What To Think About
- Normal prostate biopsy results do not rule out cancer.
- If the prostate biopsy results show cancer, other tests may be needed to determine the spread of the cancer. These tests may include a blood test (prostate-specific antigen), bone scan, lymph node biopsy, or computed tomography (CT) scan.

Another Fingerlake 50's race report!
Fingerlake 50's Race Report
June 30th, 2007
This was my second year running this race. Last year was a crazy mud slog which destroyed my feet. It was a great time, with a big party after, and i walked away with an award for 1st in my age group. I was looking forward to returning for another year and hoping for better trail conditions.
Friday's drive from Southeastern PA took a bit longer than anticipated and my legs and butt hurt from all the driving. I met up with Linda and her family at the KOA in Watkins Glen, NY and awaited Ingrid's arrival. We then went to pick up our race packets at the start/finish line. Chris Reynolds, the race director, remembered me and it was great to see her again. Her and her husband are two of the nicest people. After packet pick up we met up with Dave and his wife at a brewery for dinner. The food was okay (at least mine was just okay) but the company was great! We had a blast and a half, but it started to get late and Dave and I had a 6:30am race start. The 25k'ers (Ingrid and Linda) started at 8 am.
Off to bed I went. Sleep did not really happen. My arms kept falling asleep on the hard cabin mattress. Every time i woke up and rolled around in bed trying to get comfortable, Ingrid would tell me the time, she was not sleeping so well either! At 4:30am we finally got up for real. I heated up some coffee on the camping stove Linda brought with them and got dressed. It was a cool morning with temps in the upper 40's for the morning.
At the race start, everyone was milling around eating breakfast. I had a granola bar and got my drop bag and everything else settled in. I met up with Dave and a bunch of his friends and a bunch of people from Coolrunning.com.
The start of the race was anticlimatic as we started down the dirt road thru the park. After a short jog, we made a hard right turn into the woods for a single track trail. Dave and I ran together for the first hour or so, which was nice. Last year this first section was so muddy and wet that my feet were soaked 10 minutes into the race. This year was starting off much better!
After a little time in the woods, the trail turn onto a dirt road where we run downhill for quite a while towards the first aid station. After the aid station is the big, steep climb thru the woods. I forgot about it and was worried that Linda would curse me when she got to this section since i told her the trail was pretty flat! ack!
The course continues thru woods, alternating with cow pastures. At one point, there was a cow right next to me, hiding behind a shrub. It scared me as it moo'ed when i ran by. With just a few miles to go, I was thinking about how hard it was last year and how at this point in the race, the 25K leader passed me and how happy i was that it had not happened this year. I must have thought too soon, because before long, the number one and number two 25K'ers passed me.
And then the turning point in my race happened. There were these boardwalk/planks that were on the trail over muddy sections. As i was running towards one, i misstepped or slipped (i am really not too sure) and went down hard. I got up and my right leg was gashed open in two place and starting to swell. My right knee was also busted open. The two runners behind me made some odd joke and left me on the trail. I did my best not to cry, as my eyes welled up. My leg hurt so bad and it was getting more swollen by the minute. I walked for about 5 minutes before i shuffled and then ran again. Every time my foot hit the ground i was in serious pain. But before long i was at the start finish line and tried to look forward to the second loop. My time for the first loop was around 3:15.
I refilled my handheld and took a slice of watermelon and continued down the trail. I was in so much pain and my calf swelled to the size of an orange. I was concerned that i probably should not keep running on it, but decided to just play it by ear. Shortly thereafter, a nice man started to run with me. I showed him my leg and he said "it must really hurt every time you take a step, huh?" YES! YES it does! And then he said "once i fell and hurt my ribs and it hurt every time i breathed. It really sucks to run and be in that kind of pain." it was nice to have someone validate my pain. I took some advil at the first aid station and started to feel better. The caffienated clif blocks helped too!
The weather started to get hot and I was just hoping for the finish sooner than later. The hills always get bigger the second time around and the miles always get longer! It is a physical mystery. Happens at all loop races. For the last few miles, i was really happy to start passing runners. I passed 4 or 5 runners in the last hour and that was a good ego boost. Unfortunately at one point the 50 mile leader and number 2 runners passed me on my second loop!
My goal for the race was 6:30-7:00, last year's time was 7:38. I knew 6:30 was out of reach, maybe if i had not fallen and walked and taken it slow for a while after, but not on this day. I did think i could get a sub 7 and really worked it in for a strong, fast finish in 6:48--- 50 minutes faster than last year and first in age group again.
Ingrid finished 1st masters in the 25K and Linda kicked *** on her first 25K trail race! After the race was a big party and we just hung out, ate some food, and compared war wounds. Good time was had by all. Looking forward to next year already!

It's almost September. Fall is fast approaching, and winter will soon be knocking on the door. So, how are those summer goals coming along? Now, as we begin the descent toward "shoulder season," is the perfect time to check in on your progress, evaluate your work and results, and re-evaluate your plan going forward.
Whether your goals were performance-based or more centered on personal achievement and satisfaction, no doubt you've been working to accomplish them, and have a good sense of how it's coming along. Now it's time to examine and critique, and decide where you'll go from here. So, ask yourself some critical questions: What have I done to achieve my goals? Have I put in the work I set out to do? Have I challenged myself to reach that next level? Have I headed out the door each day with purpose and positivity? Most importantly, have I been enjoying myself? How am I feeling now, and where do I stand today relative to where I started, and where I wanted to be? How can I do better?
For some of us, the "big day" — whatever it may have been — has already come and gone. Perhaps we've already raced that big race, summited that peak, or achieved our so-many-days-in-a-row goal. If this is you, way to go! Even if things didn't go quite as planned, give yourself a pat on the back for all you've done, and how far you've come. If you've already accomplished your goals, now is the time to stop and reflect on what worked well for you, celebrate your achievements, and make a plan to continue to build on that momentum. That also means, of course, that it's time to set a new, higher goal for the season ahead. Keep challenging yourself!
If your big day has passed and you didn't achieve your desired result, it's even more crucial to evaluate your training and progress. Take a good hard look at not only the work you put in, but also how you treated your body and mind during that time (i.e. rest, nutrition, having fun!). There are so many reasons athletic plans can get derailed, and now's the time to pinpoint them so you know what to change moving ahead.
Perhaps you were simply too busy to put in the hours you intended. Or maybe you put in too many hours, pushed yourself just a little too hard, and didn't take a step back when you needed it. Maybe you feel like you've lost your mojo, and simply don't have the desire you used to. Whatever the reason you may have fallen short of your goals this summer, find it, and figure out how to change it. Do you need more rest? More intensity? Longer hours? More structure? Less structure? Remember that the only true "failure" is not learning from your experiences.
So take all you can from what you've done, adjust your plans going forward, and onward you go! Give yourself credit for the progress you have made, and remember that that progress is always building, season after season, and we as athletes are always evolving. Also remember there's still plenty of time get out there. Set a new small goal for yourself for the fall, get a head start for next year, or just make the most of doing what you love!
If you're like me, you're still a work in progress this season, still plugging away at some of those big goals. But there's no time like the present to really look at where you stand, and make any necessary adjustments to your training plan ASAP. Evaluate what you've done so far, what goals you've already accomplished or what benchmarks you've hit (or missed), and what has worked well and has not. Most importantly, evaluate how you're feeling now heading into these final weeks. Do you need another good push, or is it time to start winding down? Are your goals still appropriate? Maybe you need to set the bar a little higher, or lower. Challenge yourself, but be realistic. Be flexible, and be willing to adjust.
We all want to get to our destination as quickly and as smoothly as possible. But it usually doesn't work that way. There are bumps in the road, or unexpected detours. Unless we take the time to look around, we won't know the best way to navigate them. And in the end, even if we end up somewhere entirely unplanned, it's the journey there that makes us grow, and readies us for our next outing. It's the journey we remember. So regardless of where you stand against your goals, get out there, make the most of what's left of your season, and enjoy your journey.

"A fascinating look at the father of naval aviation."—Library Journal
"Superior naval history."—Booklist
Naval aviation historian William F. Trimble provides a clear and detailed portrait of the man who took on the challenge of forming an aeronautical bureau within the U.S. Navy in 1921 and then nurtured the early development of naval aviation. Describing Admiral William A. Moffett as one of the first high-ranking naval officers to appreciate the importance of the airplane and the effect it would have on the fleet, the author contends that the admiral's strong background as a surface officer gave him a credibility and trust with his superiors that others could not match. The author attributes Moffett's desire to keep aviation as part of the fleet, along with his diplomacy, tenacity, and political and military savvy, to the success of the infant air arm during its formative years. In striking contrast to the tactics of Army Gen. Billy Mitchell, Moffett's handling of the loyalty issue and other politically sensitive topics saved the Navy's air arm, according to Trimble. The book is equally candid about the admiral's shortcomings, including his heavy-handed support for airships, a technological dead end that squandered millions and led to Moffett's death in 1933 when he went down with the airship Akron during a storm.
William F. Trimble is a professor of history at Auburn University in Alabama and the author of five other books, including Wings for the Navy and Attack From the Sea: A History of the U.S. Navy's Seaplane Striking Force, both published by the Naval Institute Press.

BELPRE - Two 9-year-olds took a trip into the past this month after discovering a time capsule in the basement of a Belpre house on Blennerhassett Avenue.
The 114-year-old Victorian home belongs to Michael and Brenda Church whose daughter, Claudia, and her friend Madison Spriggs found a strange-looking, hand-made wooden box while playing in the basement on Dec. 8.
"It was just a box made out of wood sitting there on a pile of wood. But we shook it and something rattled inside," Claudia said.

Photo by Sam Shawver
Nine-year-old Claudia Church, left and brother Junie, 6, look over the contents of a 51-year-old time capsule Claudia and her friend Madison Spriggs found in the basement of their Belpre home.
That immediately piqued the girls' interest.
"We both wanted to open it," Madison added.
They tried to pry the box, more than a foot long and about two inches deep, open with a crowbar, Claudia said.
"But it wouldn't open, so we begged my dad to open it," she said.
Michael Church was upstairs watching a football game at the time.
"The girls brought this box up and wanted me to open it right away. I didn't think there was anything in it," he said.
Giving in to their request, Michael grabbed a hammer and began working on the box out in the driveway and soon had it opened.
"The first thing we saw were some newspapers. They were wrapped in plastic, but smelled old and musty," Madison said.
Also packed inside the box was a 1961 penny and a list of names of those who were present when the wooden box was originally sealed on Dec. 9, 1961.
Those names included F.D. Keller, MD; Mrs. F.D. (Clarice) Keller, Jean Keller Houston; Joe Houston; and Joel Frederick Houston who was 15 months old at the time.
Michael Church said the time capsule was apparently constructed by Frederick D. Keller, a local doctor whose family lived in the home for 40 years before selling it to a Barlow family who resided there for 23 years.
The Churches have lived in the stately Victorian for more than six years now, Michael said.
There were three newspapers inside the box, all dated Dec. 7, 1961, which would have been the 20th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
The papers included The Marietta Daily Times, The Belpre Advance and The Parkersburg Sentinel. The front pages of all three periodicals contained articles and photos commemorating the 1941 attack.
One headline in the Marietta paper read "Shed Tears on Pearl Harbor; Not Hiroshima, Says Harry S. Truman."
Michael Church said Dr. Keller had apparently served in the medical corps during World War II, and therefore had an interest in the 20th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack.
Other local articles in the newspapers included a story about the city of Marietta running low on funds, forcing then-Mayor Don Curtis to order budget cuts. The article mentioned that the city's streets fund was short by $10,000.
Some of the advertisements were from Montgomery Ward, J.C. Penney, Becker Motors and Otto Brothers Department Store.
The Colony Theatre was showing Troy Donahue and Connie Stevens in a movie titled "Susan Slade."
Across the street the Putnam Theater had a double-feature-Howard Hughes presents "Son of Sinbad" with Vincent Price, and "Murder, Inc."
A photo in the social section of The Marietta Daily Times showed a Mrs. Ray Wallace of Route 3, Marietta, who appeared on the "Truth or Consequences" television show with host Bob Barker.
Madison and Claudia also checked out some of the early-60s fashions.
"The dresses haven't really changed that much-except they were fancier and more delicate," Claudia said.
Now she and Claudia are thinking about making up their own time capsule.
She learned John Fitzgerald Kennedy was president at the time, noting a headline that referred to Kennedy seeking funds for public projects.
The girls shared their time capsule adventure with their third grade teacher, Mary Miller, and fellow students at Belpre Elementary School.
"I think the class really liked our report," Madison said. "We knew what a time capsule was, but we had never opened one. And I enjoy learning about history."
Now she and Claudia are thinking about making up their own time capsule.
Claudia said the copy of the Belpre Advance newspaper is to be donated to the Belpre Historical Society museum, but the Parkersburg Sentinel or Marietta Daily Times papers could be placed in the girls' new time capsule, along with more modern memorabilia.
"Fifty-one years from now someone might want to know what was going on in 2012," she said.
Michael Church said he contacted Joel Frederick Houston-the 15-month-old on the time capsule list-via email earlier this month, and discovered the Houstons now live in Florida.
"(Joel) said his mother did not recall the time capsule, but he added that it sounded like something his grandfather would have done," Michael said.
He added it was interesting the girls had discovered the time capsule on Dec. 8, just one day shy of the Dec. 9 date that the box was sealed 51 years ago, and that no one had found it for all those years.

Seen a whale shark? Mote wants to know
Published: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 2:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 2:29 p.m.
Scientists at Mote Marine Laboratory are asking the public to keep their eyes peeled for the world's largest fish.
That is because a whale shark was spotted May 8 about 20 miles off the coast of Venice.
Think a spotted behemoth up to 42 feet long and nearly 24 tons.
"These gentle filter-feeding fish are seen in various places in the Gulf of Mexico and sporadically visit Southwest Florida's coastal waters, most likely to feed on localized blooms of plankton or possibly on fish eggs," Mote said in a statement.
Mote scientists are collecting reports of whale shark sightings to look for possible patterns to their movements in local waters.
The lab is asking anyone who spotting a whale shark to call its Center for Shark Research at (941) 388-1827.
Scientists want spotters to note the number of sharks, the time, date and location — latitude and longitude if possible. They also ask that you provide your phone number or email and whether you can provide photos.

In today's lost in space edition of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Golwar is concerned about the fate of Starhawk, the PlayStation 3 exclusive online shooter that showed so much promise up until it became a real product.
I'm wondering, what happened with Starhawk?
During the beta this game had been a hot topic around here, adored by many. If I'm not mistaken there was only one other person who criticized the game in those days as much as I did.
Now, 2 months after release, I didn't register that even one of my ca. 50 friends ever played Starhawk. This includes some people of Speak Up, who always seemed to love the game.
According to [www.vgchartz.com] only 0.15m copies were sold worldwide. In comparison, Sniper Elite V2 ( [www.vgchartz.com] ) sold almost twice as many copies and it had been released in the same time frame and received worse reviews.
Checking an online PSN profile database shows that 8,663 of about 660k tracked accounts own Starhawk. In comparison, 48,257 of those accounts have Warhawk.
So I think it seems reasonable to consider Starhawk a flop. The question is simply why? People seemed to love the concept and idea. The beta didn't change their minds, quite the opposite. Did the reviews [www.metacritic.com] ruin the party?

Long Beach Business Journal Launches New Web Site, Partners With The Lamont Group
October 12, 2011 Leave a comment
In an effort to strengthen its support of the Long Beach area business community, the Long Beach Business Journal has partnered with local, one-stop-shop media firm The Lamont Group (TLG) to launch a new Web site. The site goes live later today, September 27, at LBBusinessJournal.com.
"As we near the 25th year of the founding of the Business Journal, we are significantly expanding the newspaper's online presence through our new partnership with The Lamont Group, a local, family-owned business," said George Economides, founder and publisher of the Long Beach Business Journal.

Black Belt Adventures sponsors photo contest
Published: Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 12:12 a.m.
MONTGOMERY | Alabama Black Belt Adventures is offering hunters a chance to take home more than a trophy.
The organization, a public-private partnership that promotes outdoor recreation and tourism in Alabama's Black Belt, is sponsoring a "big buck" photo contest for deer harvested in the 23-county Black Belt region.
Winners will be selected in three categories — youth (up to 12 years old), free chase (public or private lands) and high fence. Each photo will be posted on Facebook, and in each category the two that receive the most "likes" will be chosen as finalists. Alabama sports reporters will then pick the winners. The winner in each category will receive a $100 gift card to Bass Pro Shops.
Photos should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. Submissions should include the name of the county, the contest category and a short paragraph on the hunting experience.
As hunters take to the woods in search of big bucks, Alabama's Black Belt will reap major economic dividends. A report commissioned by Alabama Black Belt Adventures and released earlier this year found that the region takes in about $972 million in direct and indirect economic benefits a year from hunting and fishing.
With most of the state's trophy bucks coming from the Black Belt, the region attracts hunters who also spend money on lodging, food and other goods — economic activity that in 2011 supported 11,000 new jobs, according to the Southeast Research Group of Montgomery.
"Black Belt counties make up about a third of Alabama, but they account for more than half of the total hunting and fishing dollars spent in the state," said Pam Swanner, project director at Alabama Black Belt Adventures. "For us, deer season is a classic win-win — good for hunters, good for the Black Belt. We encourage people to spend time and money in Alabama's prime hunting grounds."

Civil Air Patrol disaster test a success
Nonprofit reacted to simulated hurricane emergency
Published: Sunday, August 25, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 7:36 p.m.
The Alabama Wing of the Civil Air Patrol earned a grade of "successful" from the United States Air Force as it simulated an emergency response on Saturday.
"Each wing will have one of the scenarios every two years, and they are based on the natural threats that are surrounding that particular wing," said Col. Barry Melton, southeast region vice commander.
Two years ago, they were evaluated on a simulation of a large tornado outbreak. This year, they were evaluated on a hurricane emergency situation.
"This is a simulated mission," said Lt. Col. Patricia Mitcham, Alabama Wing public information officer and public affairs officer. "It is designed to show that we can do the job that we trained to do in case we are asked to do it for real."
The Civil Air Patrol, which was founded in 1941, is a congressionally chartered nonprofit corporation that performs services for the federal government as the civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, according to their fact sheet.
Mike Carr, public information officer for the Tuscaloosa squadron, said the Civil Air Patrol has three missions: emergency services, cadet programs and aerospace education.
In 2012, the Alabama Wing had 581 adult members, 319 cadets, 13 single-engine aircraft and 23 vehicles.
For Saturday's scenario, eight aircraft were used as the Air Force tested the Alabama Wing.
"Some people may mistake this for a training exercise," Melton said. "This is one time every two years that this is truly an evaluation. There may be some inherent training that happens, but our main purpose of being here today is to show the Air Force that Alabama Wing knows what they are doing."
The scenario they worked through saw a hurricane hit the coast, sweep through Tuscaloosa and the Huntsville area, and eventually into Tennessee. They were also told there were two overdue aircraft.
During an emergency response, the Alabama Wing is responsible for damage assessment, search and rescue, and ground teams that go out to offer assistance to people on the ground.
All three were tested on Saturday.
"It basically certifies the readiness of Alabama Wing to be able to respond, because when we are on an Air Force mission, we are truly part of the Air Force," Melton said. "They have to be able to depend on our services and the training and readiness of not only our aircraft and vehicles but our people."
Col. Brad Lynn, Alabama Wing commander, said the Civil Air Patrol provides the Air Force about 90 percent of search and rescue.
"In the past, they did a lot of just the missing aircraft, the overdue aircraft. Now, we're just concentrated on the total package of the emergency services," he said.

This time of year I get super antsy. That fresh scent of impending snow makes the anticipation almost unbearable. I only make it worse by digging out all the old snowboard films and of course buying tickets to see the new ones. One of my favorites is Lame. A Film by Robotfood.
Which snowboard films get you psyched up for the season?
The Warren Miller movies always get me excited for the snow season. I thinks the showing is this month if I remember correctly.
Where do you usually so snowboarding?
Yeah, I grew up watching Warren Miller Films with my family every year. Then I moved to Colorado for 8 years and in Vail for 4. This was always my favorite time of year...right before the comotion (and snow) hit. Then it was just mayhem (and hopefully powder) for 4 or 5 months.
Now I am out in california and I try to get back to Colorado each winter but I also hope to get to Tahoe this year. Where do you ride?
I live in the Phoenix area so the closest place is uasually Snowbowl (2+ hours) or Sunrise (4+ hours) away. Sunrise is worth the drive if you can go two days in a row. I usually vacation in Utah during Christmas and spring break. The snow and terance are great just like Colorado.
I have always had a dream to go to Telluride, every year I say that I'm going but it never works out.
Hey Active Belle
We got snow here in Arizona. It's not enough to ski on but its a start. I want to do a ski trip to Lake Tahoe and want to do a diffrent resort other than Heavely. Any suggestions?
I am new to the area so this will be my first season here, but I've heard great things about Alpine Meadows, Kirkwood and Squaw Valley.
Active Belle
Have you every heard any good things about Sugar Bowl? They have a lot of advanced runs and a fair amount of annual snow fall.
Check out the interactive ski map. http://sugar2.sugarbowl.com/trailmaps/sugarbowlmap.swf

When out-of-towners think of Silverthorne, many think outlet stores or a place to stop for gas on the way to somewhere else. It's an image that Paul Kulik, aquatics director at Silverthorne Recreation Center, and other community members hope to change.
"We're trying to get more people to town," Kulik said, to show Silverthorne is "more than just a stop."
One solution: host a triathlon. It's an idea Kulik pitched three years ago in order to promote Silverthorne's parks and trail system. He called it "a great way to bring people to town."
This Sunday Silverthorne will host the third annual Rocky Mountain Triathlon.
In just two years it seems to be a step in the right direction. It was so successful last year it attracted too many competitors. Around 1,000 athletes competed. It turned out to be a little too crazy for the North Pond open-water swimming portion of the race.
"They had an obscene number of people," said Kulik.
Leah Smith, an event coordinator for Human Movement LLC, the company running the event, said that after last year the event was scaled back and the number of competitors was capped at 400.
"This is a great event for everyone," said Kulick. Because of the location it's not overly technical. And for the Rockies, it's relatively flat, he said. The course runs along Highway 9 and on the Blue River Trail.
The event offers both international and sprint length course options. The longer international course includes an 800-meter swim, 20-mile bike ride and 6.2-mile run. The sprint course cuts most of the distances in half with a 400-meter swim, 12-mile bike and 3.1-mile run.
All course transitions take place at North Pond Park in Silverthorne, making it a good spot for spectators, Smith said.
Racers start with the swim in staggered five-minute waves. Both bike courses are out-and-back along Hwy. 9. The international course turns around at the exit for Ute Pass. The elevation gain on the course is almost zero, according to the webpage. Both running courses incorporate long stretches on the Blue River Trail.
"It's pretty exciting," Smith said. While both she and Kulik said the course is beginner friendly, "it takes a certain athlete to be able to compete at this elevation," Smith said.
There are still a few spots open. Competitors can register today, but there will be no day-of registration on Sunday.
Kulik hopes the event will continue to lead to increased use of North Pond Park and the Blue River Trail. That was part of the idea behind hosting a triathlon, rather than just a run or bike race.
"The triathlon highlights so much more than just a bike race," he said.

Broker Note Briefing: Friday
European stock markets appear to be shrugging off data supporting the view China's economy is rebounding from its two-year slowdown.
As we wait for Morgan Stanley fourth-quarter results, City analysts give us something to think about as they review some of Europe's big names.
Credit Suisse was upgraded to "overweight" from "equalweight" by Morgan Stanley based on its belief the Swiss bank can execute "gritty" cost cuts.
Its analysts said:
"We think it is plausible that Credit Suisse could raise all-in cost cuts targets from 4 billion Swiss francs to CHF4.4 billion by 2015. Whilst we still like the UBS restructuring story, given the shares' strong rally we now see more upside in the next 12 months at Credit Suisse."
In London, shares in CRHsoared after Exane BNP Paribas raised its stance on the stock to "neutral" from "underperform".
Its analysts said:
"A slightly more optimistic assumption for U.S. infrastructure spend this year drives an increase in our forecasts for Americas Materials. We have also integrated more scope effect following the recent development update, especially in Europe Products, and cost cutting of €73 million this year. These positive developments more than offset a downward revision in Europe Materials and gross margin pressure in Products businesses."
Flying over to budget airlines HSBC raised Easyjet to "overweight" from "neutral" but downgraded Ryanair Holdings to "underweight" from "neutral".
HSBC said:
"We see better prospects for Easyjet than Ryanair in terms of revenue development, unit costs, network development and fleet planning. Easyjet will continue to benefit from structurally declining unit costs as it increases its average aircraft size.
"Whilst both carriers face inflationary cost pressures, we see Ryanair facing structuring challenges to airport and labor costs. Both carriers are seeking to negotiate new aircraft purchases. Easyjet is able to negotiate with three suppliers, while Ryanair faces the challenge of negotiating with a single supplier."
Finally J Sainsbury is moved to "conviction sell" from "sell" by Goldman Sachs.
The bank's analysts said:
"We expect very limited free cash flow generation in the medium term even as sales growth slows…continued cash outflow after dividends will weaken the balance sheet further and [could] leave the stock vulnerable.
"We expect the company's trading performance to continue to deteriorate as competition intensifies."
Goldman also noted that Sainsbury's valuation "relative to the U.K. grocery peers looks unattractive."

WASHINGTON - Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong has failed to talk the U.S. government out of suing him to recover sponsorship money that the U.S. Postal Service paid his teams to compete in international events, Armstrong's lawyer said on Friday.
Lawyer Robert Luskin said: "Lance and his representatives worked constructively over these last weeks with federal lawyers to resolve this case fairly, but those talks failed because we disagree about whether the Postal Service was damaged."
"The Postal Service's own studies show that the service benefited tremendously from its sponsorship - benefits totaling more than $100 million," the lawyer said in a statement.
A U.S. Justice Department spokeswoman had no immediate comment.
Former Armstrong teammate Floyd Landis was believed to have filed a sealed whistleblower suit against Armstrong in 2010. A decision by the government to join the suit would trigger its unsealing.
Public court records did not indicate that a lawsuit had been filed as of mid-day on Friday.

HOUSTON – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's tennis team fell to Southern Mississippi, 4-3, in a heartbreaker Saturday afternoon at John E. Hoff Courts. The Islanders dropped the doubles point before winning three singles matches to knot the match at 3-3. The final point came down to court three where the Golden Eagles captured the match.
"In a match that could not have been any closer, the teams were tied at 3-3 and it came down to a 10-point super tiebreaker in the third set," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "I thought our team competed extremely hard today. This was a great college tennis match that couldn't get any closer. We definitely have some things that we need to fix, and improve and I have the greatest confidence that we will because these girls have the highest character and commitment.
"Southern Mississippi deserves a lot of credit today. For as tough as they competed. I give first-year head coach Dominic Modise the highest respect to how quickly he has turned around their team. We played a very tough team today."
The Golden Eagles (2-2), who feature just one player from last season's team, jumped out to a 1-0 lead after securing the doubles point on courts one and three. USM's duo of Carolin Drescher and Alex Kitchen defeated the senior-freshman duo of Stefania Nicolae and Kerry Galhos 6-1 in No. 1 doubles. The Golden Eagles clinched the point after Lisa Noderer and Kathrin Waidner topped Maider Martin and Celia Rodriguez in the No. 3 slot, 6-3. The Islanders team of Sandra Burges and Judit Vives were trailing Mahitha Dadireddy and Karina Gurgenyan 4-3 when the point was clinched.
Southern Miss padded its lead to 2-0 after Drescher sealed a 6-4, 6-2 straight-set victory over Martin in the No. 2 spot. Vives answered with the Islanders' first point of the day in the No. 6 slot. The freshman bested Kitchen 6-4 in the first set before capturing the second set 6-3 to stay undefeated in her first two matches as an Islander. The Golden Eagles stayed in front after Dadireddy picked up USM's third point of the day in the No. 1 position over Nicolae 6-4, 6-4. A&M - Corpus Christi came roaring back with two victories on courts four and five to even the match at 3-3. Galhos garnered the Islanders' second point with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Waidner in the No. 5 spot. The freshman is now 2-0 on the season. Rodriguez also answered with a singles win in the No. 4 slot over Gurgenyan. The sophomore cruised through the first set with a 6-1 win before edging Gurgenyan in the second 7-5.
The match came down to court three between Burges and Noderer. After dropping the first set 7-6 (4), Burges bounced back to win the second set 6-2. In the third, Noderer captured a 10-6 super tiebreaker to seal the match for the Golden Eagles.
"I'm very proud of Sandra," Moore said. "She competed with incredible courage today against a very strong opponent. She fought until the end. I just wish I had done a better job of guiding her to make the right adjustments."
The Islanders match tomorrow against Houston has been postponed to a later date due to the possibility of rain in the area. The women's team along with the men's team will travel to Prairie View on Feb. 4 to take on the Panthers at 2 p.m.
"I always tell the team that we are either winning or learning and in the big scheme of the season it was an important day to do some learning," Moore added.

News 12 First at Five / Monday, May 2, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- While one of the world's most wanted terrorists is dead, the War on Terror is not over. More than one hundred Fort Gordon troops deployed for Afghanistan today. News 12 was at Fort Gordon today while families said goodbye.
It was certainly an unforgettable day to be deployed to the Middle East. Less than twenty-four hours after hearing about Osama bin Laden's death, 120 Fort Gordon troops were preparing to leave home and continue fighting the War on Terror. As they left today, many of their families say they are more worried than ever before.
From the comforts of Augusta to combat in Afghanistan, the 63rd Expeditionary Signal Battalion is packed and ready to go. "No words can describe it. I'm scared. Nervous. I'm proud of my husband. Somebody's gotta do the job, and he's a very brave man. I love him very much." Danielle Hampsmire and her husband, Staff Sergeant Christopher Hampsmire, take pictures with their little girls who are three and nine years old.
Christopher says he is anxious to leave, this time for his fourth deployment. "It's just another deployment. It's just another thing. Just gonna go do what I have to do and get back."
But Danielle admits that to her, this is not just another deployment. The mastermind behind the September 11th attacks and the following War on Terror is now dead. "I'm excited, I'm happy that bin Laden is dead. You know, ten years- it's about time. But there are still soldiers overseas. I'm scared. I'm scared of retaliation. I'm scared of retaliation for our men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan and anywhere else. And, I'm scared of retaliation here at home."
Soldiers spend a few last minutes saying goodbye, wiping tears from their eyes. Expressions range from patriotic shouts and high-fives to last minute hugs and kisses.
Sergeant Shawn Porath gears up for his third deployment to the Middle East. "We've been working it up for quite a few months. I think everyone's ready to just go. And not prolong it any longer."
Danielle adds, "You guys make this country free. You're already heroes. Just go over there and do your job." As Christopher prepares to board the waiting buses, he passes along a message to his wife and little girls. "I love them with all my heart. And I want them to be really good for their mama. I love my wife so much. I love you, honey- take care. I love you baby."
Families wave goodbye, for now, and look forward to the soldiers of Company A returning safely next year. Fort Gordon's Public Affairs office tells News 12 Company C of the 63rd Expeditionary Signal Battalion just returned from the Middle East, and Company B is still overseas, due to come home this August.

Aaron Basha: The Godfather of Charms
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 12:00:00 AM in Aaron Basha (30)
The Godfather of charms, Mr. Aaron Basha, started pretty early in life. His jewelry career started out meeting royals with his mother, a jeweler herself. These visits, when he was between 9 to 12 years old, broke him in to the world's premiere class. The original House of Basha was started by Aaron Basha's mother. It was in the early twentieth century when they put up shop in Berkeley Square in London. It was in the 1990's when they moved Manhattan for good. During Aaron Basha's career, he too enjoyed the patronage of royals. He was once commissioned by a South East Asian princess to produce a life size baby shoe pendant encrusted with fancy yellow diamonds. The work took Aaron two months and sold more than one million pounds. While creating jewelry with briolette diamonds, diamonds that have their entire surface cut with triangle facets, Aaron Basha came about with creating charms. The influence of these stones led Aaron to create the iconic pieces that we see today and discerning tastes appreciate. It is this mix of fun and elegance that led to the success that is Aaron Basha, the Godfather of charms. For Aaron Basha charms, visit Shreve & Co. – authorized dealer for Aaron Basha.

Christian Care Sleep Center Alumni Match This Saturday
This Saturday at 10 a.m. Christian Care Sleep Center will sponsor what has become a great Islander tradition - the annual Alumni vs. Islanders match! This match is a dual match format between the current Islanders players and the alumni that built this program from the ground up. It is an understatement to say that this is a highly competitive match with a lot of pride at stake.
Our Islanders alumni are one of the strongest alumni teams in the country. Many of them are coaches who have stayed in excellent shape after great college careers! The alumni will feature four former No. 1 Islanders between the men's and women's teams. They will face Islanders men's and women's teams that both reached the top NCAA DI Top 60 nationally rankings last year. Perhaps the most special attribute of the alumni match is how many alumni come back to play and be a part of the match - a sign of what a true team and family Islanders Tennis is and always will be.
Please come out to support this spirited high-level competition between the current Islanders and the Islanders Alumni this Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Thomas J. Henry Islanders Tennis Center!!
Thank you for your continued support of Islanders Tennis!
Steve Moore
