trolling in north sd co....
(hey gaff i was in yer neighborhood this weekend)....
there is another factor here....surf shops can do what chains can't and/or rarely, if ever, actually do...provide selection. target does not have a range of ANYTHING sports related simply because the rest of the merchandise (kids, and women's and men's seasonal clothes, food, pet stuff, my new hair gel) all require space and sell way more product. even other "sports" chains don't carry more than a few boards or wetsuits or anything surf related. baseball season and football season and old farts needing golf sh!t far outnumber the occasional board or wetsuit sale. let's face it. surfing is a sport that requires investment, but unless you are unreasonably hard on yer equip, you are buying durable goods. the surfshop will continue to provide a wide range of a fairly narrow product unless they are put out of bidness not by chains, but by internet, where a "store" can carry virtually an unlimited stock. finally, as we all know, a lot of "surf' shops don't carry anything but clothes. san diego surf co in seaport village (tourist trap) sells teeshirts and board shorts and $60 sandals.... not a board or wetsuit in sight (...unless you count the inflatable...). if HS&S ( a small chain) has a sale, i am going, even though Katin's is my store of choice up here in the north OC

Wow, I think you all have made some great points. I just think that when a buck is made, somebody is going to be exploited. That is how our system works. It's either gonna be the kid in the sweat shop, the naive consumer, the local shaper who can't keep up with corporate prices, the swimsuit model, hell even the pros themselves. You can't just have a little capitalism. It's all or nothing. It's not fair. They play dirty, always will. Why, because their stocks must go up. They have to keep increasing profits. Its a cannibalistic system. Companies don't care about creating jobs, they care about profits. They don't want unionized workforces because that would mean good pay with good benefits and less profit for shareholders. It doesn't take a genuis to see the attack on unions in this country and what it means. People are making less and paying more than they did ten years ago and we are supposed to be grateful because someday...somehow, we could be the billionaires exploiting everybody else. So we won't restrict their greed because we might get there someday. You should be glad you have a job making minimum wage and don't live off the system except the system is starting to make honest work look bad because no one is willing to pay a decent wage. It's a Lottery mentality that says, I might be one of those rich guys, so what ever they do is ok, that is until they lay you off and you have to sell your surfboards and go to work at labor ready. Then maybe you realize they were playing you, making their friends rich and selling you down the river...this flat spell is driving me crazy!

i remember seeing boards from rusty, tim nolte, nev, byrne, channel islands, & spectrum. all californian or australian companies. but i think it has always been that way, at least once the surf industry marketing machine took over in the late 70's or early 80's. i think the east coast suffers still from it's former "red-headed step child" status. in the 60's we had to learn how to build our own boards b/c no one would ship boards out here, or it was too expensive to do so. that's how dan heritage got his start. but then when the first surf shops opened & people started reading surf mags, they wanted hobies, webers, velzys, & jacobs...not a board from some guy they KNEW had taken too much acid & nearly burned down the shaping shed when the resin kicked off too hot. so the shops started bringing in boards from out west & things snowballed from there. our own herd mentality killed in utero a culture that could have given birth to a thriving local & regional shaping community (one could argue we have one anyway, but i'd say it could be more extensive). then, i think as the blue crush/rocket power/soul surfer generation grew up, they wanted to surf, so inland mommy & daddy went to the surf shop & became appalled at how expensive boards were & refused to accept that they couldn't get this "piece of sports equipment" for a "reasonable" price, shops began to look around for cheaper alternatives, lest they lose business to costco, etc...
now, there does seem to be some push back the other direction from some corners. the "support your local shaper" cry has become MUCH louder since the events of dec. 5, 2005. most shops carry boards from at least one local shaper & can tell you how to get in touch w/ at least 2 more. but at the same time, more & more floor & rack space is being taken up w/ global & surftech products.
i would love to see a shop say, "you know what? screw this. no more china boards, no more china clothes. we're only going to carry boards shaped & clothes made in the usa. don't like it? too bad." & i think it could happen if people started asking for it. research your brands. the shop i work for brought in 2 new lines this year, both made in the usa. & the clothes are great! it's nice to be able to say that my favorite t-shirt was made right here at home.
mainly, i don't have a problem w/ shops stocking boards that aren't purely local. the fact of the matter remains that the west coast still dominates the industry & will continue to do so for some time. as long as the boards are made here in the usa, i have no issue w/ them. but i'd also like to give more rack space to local shapers as well...& to do that, something has to give. & unfortunately, it's not going to be a CI or a ...lost. those companies have so much power over the shops they sell in that they can demand minimum orders...50 boards, 60 boards. & soft goods...bags, leashes, t-shirts. so to get more local guys in the door, you've gotta push someone else out. & it's hard to do that. but if more people started asking for it, i think it would happen.
ultimately, what shops carry comes down to what their customers ask for. in the summer months, the bulk of our customers are asking for foam boards & nsps. but if the real surfers, the ones who come into the shop in january & help it stay open year-round, start asking for domestically made clothes & wetsuits or boards from xx local shaper, then it'll start to happen. but it takes an effort that i'm not sure surfers are willing to give. too many of us have bought into the societal notion that it's better if you can get it for cheap. who cares if it falls apart after 1 wash? you got it for cheap! who cares if your wetsuit only lasts 2 winters? you can get another online for 30% off! consumers have to change their mindset & start demanding domestically produced, high quality items if they want their shops to carry them. unfortuantely, judging by the posts i read here, too many already view the shop as just a place to go to get boards & wax, not as the fixture of the surf community that it once was.
Jul 31, 2012, 11:40 AM #46
i think a big backlash to the push for shops to get the 'big' china brands has put the local guys in a position to be direct sellers of their boards too.

Good post - Guess shops are different and probably recollections are different. The shops i went to 20 years ago in the OC, MD area definately carried mid atlantic boards- Wetstix, Ashton, WRV, Tim Nolte and Florida boards: Natural Art, Kechele, on and on than they do nowadays.

42... you've said it best. And I think Greenlight is hitting the target, with ONLY locally made boards, and more importantly, the tools and materials for guys to make their own, which, in a "perfect world" would make this entire discussion moot. I know that some people just don't have the skills it takes to build a board, and will always buy their boards from somebody who sells them.
Which brings me to pumpmaster's point... buying direct from local shapers through a local surf shop is key to the short term success and long term longevity of the local artisan board builder. I hate to keep referring to Greenlight, but again, they've got it right. If you walk into the shop, you see several styles of boards, built by a number of talented local board builders. Your choices are fairly wide, and they're ALL accessible local guys who do everything they can to have that conversation with the buyer, build a quality product, and deliver exactly what the buyer ordered. The shop is the vehicle and conduit to the shaper, and that's the way it should be. The shop in and of itself should not be a third party, detached from the designer/builder, with a salesman doing the shaper's job of talking to customers about what they want and where they want their boards to take them.
Jul 31, 2012, 12:26 PM #49
lets face it too, most shops dont push the local shaper for a number of reasons. If a kids comes in and says I want a CI. How many shops will say, Look bro, thats a good board but if you are going to surf our waves perhaps you ought to look into a board from Wynn. He has a similar shape to the CI but its more refined to our waves. That used to happen but not so much any more.
The thing is, there are plenty of local shops that are doing quite well with Nike and the rest because they are better business people. They have an internet presence, they don't hire d-bags with piss poor attitudes and they make every customer feel wanted. This whole Nike hysteria sounds more like a cover for sh!tty shops trying to point the finger somewhere else instead of looking at their business model.
Jul 31, 2012, 12:42 PM #50
pumpmaster's point about having the opportunity to go direct to the customer is spot-on as well...& one i didn't even think of when writing my previous post.

FRENCH CAMP - Authorities aren't sure if they have completely eradicated a pack of wild dogs that killed hundreds of goats in French Camp, but they believe they have eliminated some of them, said Deputy Les Garcia, a spokesman for the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's deputies and animal control officers have captured or killed 10 stray dogs in south Stockton and French Camp over the past week. Each of the dogs was located near the area where a pack of six to 10 dogs - described as pit bulls, German shepherds and possibly a coyote - slaughtered at least 240 goats and several chickens in six different attacks, authorities and witnesses said.
"We can't be certain that we've found them all, so we're continuing to search, setting traps and patrolling the area," Garcia said. "We haven't had any additional attacks that I'm aware of, so hopefully our efforts have addressed the problem, but we're going to continue to make sure that the citizenry is safe."
Deputies shot a pit bull last Wednesday near Little John Creek and killed another Friday after it attacked chickens on Dudley Road and ran into an industrial park near Stockton Metropolitan Airport, Garcia said. Since then, authorities have captured eight more dogs, including three pit bulls, one pit bull mix and two German shepherd mixes, Garcia said.
Seven of the dogs were captured at the south end of Turnpike Road. Six were captured in cages, one was tranquilized and one was caught with a snare, Garcia said.
"Obviously, our first thought was that we were going to go out and capture these animals," Garcia said. "Unfortunately, there were a couple of situations where we had to shoot two pit bulls because one was advancing toward a deputy and the second was running into a populated industrial area."

makisupa>maze is a red hot opener. maze in particular really burns. page and trey really light up the middle section of this one. water in the sky works well in the early set cool down slot. then they pull out a still quasi rare guyute. they really nail this one, much to the delight of the crowd. guelah papyrus is another nice cool down treat before they pull out the first new song of the night. limb by limb is not all that swell here, but they follow it up with a pretty solid horn. they pick the energy way up for the antelope set closer. the whole band is in sync on this one, and it gives the fired up deer creek crowd a lot of hope for the 2nd set.
timber ho! works well in the opening slot, repeating the first night opener from deer creek 96's first night. fishman and gordon lay down a nice foundation, but at times, trey seems a little lost in this jam. he finds some nice stuff, but they never quite get there. piper starts out promising but it never quite gets there in my opinion. vultures, another new tune, really works here. some friends griped about the placement, but i really like it. despite not playing exceptionally so far in this set, it did fit the mood extablished thus far. my soul was fun, but not really 2nd set material. then they drop yem. by drop, i mean they drop the ball. this one is sooooo long, and they never quite hook up with each other on this one. there is very little cohesive jamming. to their credit, they keep looking for that groove, but they never quite get there. character zero is very cheesey, so this is somewhat disappointing. i always welcome a coil closer too. nice to page last one off....
while i would not say that the deer creek '97 run was a "classic run" like '96 or '98 there are some good songs in the two nights to hear. this show is one of the rare ones in which i like the first set a little better than the 2nd. a bulk of the 2nd set is just spent searching for that groove.
set 1:
makisupa policeman>maze, guyute, antelope
set 2:
timber ho!, vultures

A recent report about trends in mountain travel bookings show occupancy up slightly from last year, leaving an area of uncertainty for local ski resorts and lodging accommodations.
According to the most recent monthly reservation report the Mountain Travel Research Program, the overall occupancy is up 0.5 percent through March compared to the same time last year.
"It seems that both prospective guests and the resort suppliers are having reservations about booking reservations for the coming season," said Ralf Garrison, director of MTRiP. "We anticipated that the positive economic news in September combined with a strong uptick in consumer confidence would be driving winter booking activity, but overall advanced reservation activity is essentially flat."
Still, local resorts and hotel managers are timidly optimistic this ski season, many speculating that prospective vacationers may be waiting until the end of the political season.
Pat Hovis, manager of Hotel Frisco said "It seems to be up from last year but we are still waiting to see a big boost, my sense is that a lot of people are waiting to see what happens in the presidential election."
Garrison advises those in the lodging industry to react quickly to the increase of skiers and snowboarders that make reservations during winter storms.
"Weather, economic trends and political events will all have an influence on this year's results," Garrison said.
Garrison also speculated that last year's disappointing snowfall in most of the country is contributing to a snow "hangover" and the reluctance of skiers and boarders to book mountain vacations until winter weather trends become more apparent.
"However, taking the optimistic view, it's still pretty early in the booking season. With approximately 40 percent of the ski season's reservations now on the books, there is lots of upside potential," Garrison said.
Hotel reservations in Summit County have seen a surge of activity during the holiday peak season between Dec. 18 and Jan. 5, according to Hovis.
"We have booked almost completely full already during that time," she said. "There's been huge activity lately for that month and we even have reservations made through the month of March already."
Though bookings exist, the vacancies at local hotels and ski resorts leave much uncertainty for the upcoming season and tourist economy.
"Consumer spending has slowed down lately, despite improving markets and stronger confidence because consumers, for the most part, have very little extra money to spend," explains Tom Foley, operations director for MTRiP.
As the industry waits for weather and political variables to have an impression, local lodging managers are optimistic from visitor feedback.
"Last week we had a guest stay here that was interested in doing big game hunting," Hovis said. "He and his wife usually went to Pagosa Springs to stay but decided to come here this year, they even extended their stay by a couple extra days."

Knitter's Review
April 26, 2012
Did you know that in the week of April 15th, half the books on the Wall Street Journal's best-selling fiction list were children's books?
Also popular is yarnstorming, or yarn bombing, where knitting becomes a sort of public graffiti—albeit a soft and colorful kind.
This week we celebrate the convergence of these two trends in a lovely children's book called Extra Yarn. You'll want to give a copy to everyone you know, knitters and non-knitters alike.

Out of all the things I love about this remix from Bulgarian producer KiNK - the hint of foreboding, the contrast between the Glass Candy-esque low-fi vocal and the crisp track, the throbbing - I love its space the most. It sounds like it's cycling through a small start up and shutdown on every quarter note.
KiNK, by the way, is one to watch — this making-of video for his recent single "Hand Made" is fascinating.

The time showing on the clock on one of Marietta College's oldest buildings in the late William H. Gerhold's painting "Campus Sentinel - Erwin Hall" was not an afterthought or a random selection.
"There's a significance with the time," said Gerhold's widow, Debra Gerhold Shively. "It's five after six, so he's thinking downtime, it's fall, mid-terms, so students (are) starting to feel accustomed to college life."
The painting, commissioned in 1985 by a college trustee and an alumnus, is the centerpiece of an exhibit of Gerhold's work at the John Rossi Art Gallery, 104 Front St., Marietta. On Friday evening and again from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Shively was on hand to discuss the watercolor and oil paintings and pen-and-ink pieces by her late husband, a nationally recognized artist and retired Marietta College professor.

EVAN BEVINS The Marietta Times
Debra Gerhold Shively, left, discusses the print "College Sentry — Erwin Hall" with John Rossi Art Gallery director Ann Corbett Friday during the opening of an exhibit of artwork by Shively's late husband, William H. Gerhold.
"I'm just visiting with old friends and sharing stories about the work," she said.
Gerhold was head of the art department at Marietta several times during his 28 years there. In addition to his work at the college, he conducted on-location painting classes in West Virginia's Canaan Valley and Maryland's Eastern Shore.
Although a stroke in 1996 cost him the use of his right side and his ability to speak, Gerhold's artwork continued as he made pen-and-ink drawings with his left hand to use for Christmas cards.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Homecoming Receptions: The William H. Gerhold Exhibition.
When: 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday.
Where: John Rossi Art Gallery, 104 Front St., Marietta.
Special guest: Debra Gerhold Shively,
A portion of the proceeds from print sales will be donated to the Marietta College Art Department.
Shively was approached by the people who run the gallery about putting up a display, the first showing of Gerhold's work outside his and his wife's gallery at their Little Hocking home since his death in February 2011.
"It makes me feel good," Shively said. "And it brings back a lot of memories. Because I was around for many of them."
One that stands out to her is of a fall scene showing the driveway to their house in Canaan Valley.
"You can smell it, and you can feel it," she said.
There are some prints of Gerhold's work for sale, particularly those of the Erwin Hall painting. The official opening of the show was timed to coincide with Marietta College's homecoming weekend, when a number of alumni would be in town. A portion of the proceeds from print sales will benefit the college's Art Department.
A trio of MC alumni were browsing in the gallery Friday evening. Among them was Pittsburgh resident John Diaddigo, 63, whose wife was a student of Gerhold's at the college.
"My wife had a lot of respect for him," Diaddigo said.
Gallery director Anna Corbett described Gerhold's work as "timeless" and said she's happy to have it up for people to appreciate.
"The number of people I've met that knew him or worked with him or knew of him is amazing," she said.
Corbett said the display - which includes about 20 pieces by Gerhold and four by Shively, an art teacher at Williamstown High School - will remain up into November. There likely will be a wall devoted to Gerhold's work, possibly with some other pieces brought in, for some time after.


text: It is an irrefutable truth when considering any Melvins album that one of the only ways to appropriately discuss the music is to reflexively use the band's name as an adjective. The Melvins, some twenty years after Kurt Cobain made them a musical household name, have carved themselves an undeniable niche that is populated solely by Buzz Osborne and his band. No one else sounds like this; no one can even being to capture the "throw it all out there and see what takes" attitude and creativity of King Buzzo.

ASHTABULA, Ohio (AP) - An ex-convict charged with killing his father at an Easter Sunday church service in Ohio made rambling comments during an appearance in court.
The suspect, 28-year-old Reshad Riddle, appeared Monday in Ashtabula Municipal Court in an orange jail jumpsuit and shackles.
The bearded Riddle made rambling comments about God and said he wanted to be treated fairly.
Ann Riddle, sister of the victim and aunt of the suspect, said the family knows of no possible motive. She calls her slain brother a loving and caring family member.
No plea was entered on an aggravated murder charge and two weapons counts.
Police say he went to the church and killed his father, 53-year-old Richard Riddle, with a single shot from a handgun Sunday afternoon. Worshippers fled in panic.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A new study in people with Parkinson's disease shows that tai chi (ty-CHEE') exercise can help improve balance and lower the risk of falling.
Parkinson's symptoms include tremors and stiff, jerky movements that can affect walking and other activities. Medications and surgery can help, and doctors often recommend exercise or physical therapy.
Tai chi with its slow and graceful movements was tried in a study in Oregon. The nearly 200 participants took twice-weekly classes in either tai chi, resistance training or stretching.
After six months, the tai chi group had better balance and control than the other groups. It also had fewer falls than the stretching group.
The results are being published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.

We're missing VDV this season. Discuss.
I would agree.At the moment some of the talk is about still waiting for the team to gel - VdV seemed to come in and make an impact straight away, and even though I thought Modric and him seemed to want to play similar roles, he still seemed to be a class act. I haven't seen Dempsey or Sigurdsson either link up the way he did or provide a similar goal threat - as yet.But you can't expect to lose players of the like of Modric/VdV without it having some impact - especially when it seems that their first choice replacement couldn't be prised away from their current club.I'm not sure though that the difference would be that noticeable if Ade was starting and playing like last season. I think that the style of Ade's play and his off ball work made it 'easier' for the supporting midfielder.

It was early Monday. Professional celebrity watchers such as myself were just clearing the sleep crust from their eyes and firing up our computers for a long day of exciting Lindsay Lohan speculation. Or maybe Robert Pattinson was out over the weekend and someone found out what kind of dressing he had on that salad.
Suddenly, the rarely seen red bar appeared at the top of MSN.com. Battle stations! Something was happening. Something big.
Holy Kardashian, it's the Princess! Put all sectors on alert. Find Obi-Wan. Escape may not be his plan.
Oh, sorry -- wrong princess.
No, it's Princess Kate, the Duchess of ... something. She's Prince William's wife and the daughter of her father, whose last name is Middleton. She's in the hospital, reportedly with morning sickness. The Internet is burning up. That's right, she just cut her hair. That's right, she has been wearing puffier outfits. That's right, she only drank water during that toast to the ambassador of "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted." Now Buckingham Palace has spoken:
The Princess is PREGNANT!
Call to arms
It was like being in the ready room when getting the call to scramble fighters. Celeb watchers were running every which way, trying to gather details and share it on all known conduits of information. Kate Middleton is carrying the heir to the British throne. The royal line will continue through another generation. The world might now be spared the specter a naked King Harry and his naughty Vegas minions. Tea and crumpets all around! Long live the royal fetus!
Uh, wait. I'm not British. Why do I care about this again?
Right -- my job is all about posting celebrity news with plentiful sarcasm to remind us all that it's a world that's kind of silly. And the royals occasionally fall into that category, especially to us Americans, who think that royals play baseball in Kansas City.
That, of course, is by design. As you may or may not remember, we fought Britain for our independence way back when -- before the Revolution was a Prince band. Then we fought them again in the War of 1812, which didn't change names even when it spilled over into 1813. We won that one, too -- nobody but rioting Americans can attack Detroit and get away with it.
So what's the big deal about the British royals? Why do we Americans -- who kicked out their cucumber-sandwich-loving backsides centuries ago -- still care so much about people who don't seem to have last names? Why did my mother, my wife and my aunts all buy little plastic crowns and stay up until 4 a.m. to watch William and Kate get married last year, when the alternative (sleep) seemed so much more attractive?
Roots in common
There are probably a few reasons. We speak the same language. We were their colony. Many of us are directly descended from the Brits. My English great-grandmother, Nora Swift, came over on the boat (when my 10-year-old found out she was descended from a Swift, she ran around telling everyone Taylor Swift was her cousin).
Britain is the United States' closest ally. In other words, when our president gets nutty ideas, the Brits are right there with us.
Then there's the idea of the royal line. Like it or not, these people are descended from those who conquered much of the world, though I have great difficulty trying to picture Prince Charles having anything to do with King Arthur. But to anyone fascinated by history, these people are noteworthy -- even if they don't have real jobs.
So congratulations to the British and the continuance of their royal line. Even if it's mostly just a figurehead position now, a new king may soon be born. And as Washington, Adams and Jefferson would say, better them than us.

Hope is still alive for building the long-anticipated, $65 million airport interchange on Interstate 70.
The interchange would allow traffic to go directly to the Eagle County Regional Airport instead of funneling through Eagle or Gypsum.
The project originally had funding from a 1997 Senate Bill and a 2002 House Bill but both bills were repealed in 2009, eliminating a dedicated funding stream. From 2009 to 2011, Eagle County and Gypsum pursued federal TIGER discretionary grants.
The county is now looking at a new opportunity for funding through the Colorado Department of Transportation. CDOT initiated the RAMP ("Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnership") program in December 2012 and is seeking potential partnership projects. The program has a total of $1.5 billion available and the Eagle County Airport Interchange qualifies for the RAMP program.
To move forward with the application, the board of commissioners agreed on Tuesday to commit $2.5 million if the project is approved for RAMP funding. County Engineer Eva Wilson explained that the money is not needed up front but is a promise of money the county will contribute if the grant is awarded. The town of Gypsum is also pledging $2.5 million to bring the total amount of local matching funds to $5 million.
"At this point it's not an allocation quite yet, we're just stating the amount that we're prepared to allocate," said Commissioner Jon Stavney.
The $65 million price tag of the project includes $10 million for construction management.
"The commitment of local match for these projects is targeted at 20 percent, which is roughly $12 million in this case?" Stavney asked Wilson, implying that $5 million might not be good enough.
"Yes, but that's very high because this is a larger-than-average project," Wilson said. "My recommendation is to approach (CDOT) with $5 million from local communities and see how competitive it is."
For now, other details such as who will maintain what on the interchange still have to be worked out. The commissioners were assured that there will be opportunities to pull out if the situation becomes unfavorable.
"We still have an off-ramp ... no pun intended," said County Manager Keith Montag.
With that, Wilson was told to pursue the RAMP funding.
"There may be a time when this project dies of its own weight but that hasn't happened yet," Stavney said.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tulsa school officials want voters to approve a $38 million bond proposal that would pay for technological improvements across the district.
Tulsa Public Schools officials say the money would help the city district catch up to advances already present in neighboring communities.
The election was set for May 14. Tulsa Superintendent Keith Ballard told the school board Monday that the proposal is not just about equipment but also about training people how to use it.
The board says that, if the money is approved, each classroom would be equipped with a desktop computer, an interactive whiteboard, an iPad, a document camera, internet-based TV and wireless access.
The bond proposal passed on a 6-1 vote. The Tulsa World (http://bit.ly/XnJxWb ) said board member Lois Jacobs wouldn't say why she voted against it.

Dress Code 2.0: Wearables
By Ultan O'Broin Oracle UX-Oracle Paas4SaaS-Oracle on Nov 21, 2013
It used to be that enterprises had this thing called a dress code to "inform" employees about what they could and couldn't wear in work. That's all changed these days, largely.
But now, enterprises need to react to what technology their employees will wear when working. Enterprises are about to take advantage of how the latest trend in technology, "wearables", will transform work and make workers smarter and enable them to complete their tasks more easily.
The term "wearables" itself, for me, is too broad. We also have the Quantified Self arrivistes, and talk of "little data" or "the personal API" to contend with, so I'd prefer to think of wearables, in the enterprise context, as another optimized UI, part of an overall user experience.
Wearable technology, this way, might be best analyzed as being for a certain set of users to do certain tasks using certain devices. Using cloud-based data as the source of truth, all can be exchanged between other users and devices, meeting business objectives by solving business problems in an efficient, effective, and satisfying way (that's called "usability", folks).
We are past the fad stage, and real business cases are being identified (as this Wall Street Journal article, "Wearable Gadgets Transform How Companies Do Business" points out). Putting together the opportunities for integration of applications at the consumer level and those business services appearing, we can see an emergent technology and user experience roadmap for workers to be even more productive.
This is a fascinating area, and ironically IMO, again it seems that the enterprise offers more potential for realistic value-adds and faster adoption for wearables than the personal space does. Admittedly, it can be as hard to separate personal and work technologies from each other these days as it is to separate your work clothes from leisure wear, but does that really matter?
Talk of wearables is still dominated by a narrow range of devices, namely Google Glass and various smart watches, and most usage we see and hear about is of a healthcare, sporting, fitness, or just exploratory and fun nature.
However, thinking about wearables from a problem-solving perspective and taking in disparate technologies and use cases from the personal, enterprise, startup and open-source world is a more fruitful exploration, I think. And, we need to think beyond glasses and watches too, and think about what services, APIs, sensors, OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision), voice, and more, can offer with integration and interconnectivity in the cloud.
The Oracle Applications User Experience team is up on the wearables technology and enterprise potential, so stay tuned. We've already shown off some early use cases in the CRM space for Google Glass, but there is a lot more coming.
We will bring a whole new dimension to the notion of "dress code" in work. Your participation and insight as Oracle customers and partners, and as users of our applications, has an open invitation, as always, to inform our innovations.
Exciting times.

Brandon Chelf is a senior at Holt Central High School. He came there when he started falling behind in school.
"The biggest thing about Holt Central is the teachers care more than you can imagine," said Chelf. "It's not just like a one on one... It's like a best friend."
Chelf is scheduled to graduate on time, but the numbers show that Chelf may be more the exception and not the rule. The district says just 34 percent of Holt Central students graduate within six years.
That's one of the reasons teachers were informed in December that the school district was looking at other options.
Even though it's a school for students that have fallen behind academically for one reason or another, those numbers aren't good enough for Holt Superintendent Dr. Johnny Scott.
"We've evaluated Holt Central and we think there's another option here in Ingham County that's proven to be succesful," said Scott.
That option is the Ombudsman program. It's a tech-heavy alternative program that Waverly switched to 3 years ago when it was having a problem with its alternative schools. Ombudsman's Waverly location is in a strip mall off of Saginaw Highway on the west side of Lansing and serves 70 students.
Ombudsman students attend class for 4.5 hours, most of which is spent at a computer workstation.
Ingham Intermediate Superintendent Stan Kogut says Ombudsman has made a big difference for Waverly.
"Prior to Ombudsman in '07-'08 we had a rate under 20 percent," said Kogut. "In the first year of the program those numbers jumped up to 85 percent. The second year those dropped to 70 percent, so a little bit of a backslide but still a big improvement."
Ombudsman says it has a national graduation rate of 85 percent.
Superintendent Scott says the program will also cost the district less, though he doesn't know how much less yet.
But Holt Central's teachers and students are skeptical that the program would work for Holt Central's 120 student population.
"I believe that it'd just be a complete failure because none of the kids I know and that's all the kids at [Holt] Central would be able to do it," said Chelf.
"I worry that the Ombudsman program is more of a factory program." said Michelle Beerbower, who has been a teacher at Holt Central for more than a decade. "We punch in, we use the computer, we punch out, we go home.
Another teacher concern was that the increase in computer time would be a challenge for alternative students, many of whom teachers say are kinesthetically-oriented learners.
The school board could be presented with a recommendation as early as Feb. 14, and could authorize a switch to Ombudsman as early as Feb. 24.

BEAVER CREEK - Ruby Black has been looking up to World Cup ski racers her entire life - all 14 years of it - and this week she's getting an up-close look at what that level of competition is all about.This week, Black joins a special group of Ski & Snowboard Club Vail athletes as a course slipper for the Birds of Prey World Cup races at Beaver Creek. Course slipping might not sound glamorous to those not entrenched in the world of ski racing, but for these kids it's pretty exciting."I think it's amazing because all these skiers that you look up to are here racing right in front of you and you see them in the start gate and you see them running down and you just want to be like them," Black said. "And it's just so amazing that they're right in front of you - people you've been looking up to your whole lives."Slipping a World Cup race course is a simple, yet complicated job, said John "J.C." Cole, the human performance director at Ski Club Vail. The job, simply put, is to clean up the track for the racers. They want to make sure the course is as smooth as possible before skiers come flying down it at speeds around 70 miles per hour.The course gets slightly chopped up in places as the World Cup athletes inspect the course in the mornings. The athletes often slide and stop in spots, forming piles of snow that need to be removed before race time. Because the Ski & Snowboard Club Vail athletes chosen to slip the course have race experience, Cole said they know where the snow is not supposed to be."It's actually a lot more glamorous to them than you might think," Cole said. "Take a 14 or 15-year-old, for example - a chance for them to be out on a World Cup hill, especially something as legendary as Birds of Prey, and secondly, we don't just take anybody; We usually try to take our strongest, most accomplished skiers because the job requires a certain amount of physical demand, also."Paula Cooper, 13, feels honored to be a part of the team because she knows she was picked for the job because her coaches believe in her ability."And it's just good because you get to see (the World Cup skiers) ski by and you feel like adrenaline when you're slipping down - it's really awesome," Cooper said. Allison Hoerr, 14, is slipping the course at Beaver Creek for the first time this year. She, too, is honored to have the opportunity to meet the racers and to be on the same course they're on.That's why these young athletes take on the role - to get that taste of what big time ski racing feels like. Ski & Snowboard Club Vail athlete Colin Hayes, 18, has been slipping the course for two years and hopes to make it to the World Cup level someday. He plays it cool when he talks about his job at Beaver Creek this week. "Yeah, it's kind of fun to come out here," Hayes said. "And we get to watch Aksel (Lund Svindal) and all those guys."The course slippers have a full week ahead. They'll follow each and every athlete throughout training and racing, grooming the course every step of the way. Sometimes you'll see one slipper and sometimes more, but there will always be someone following the path of the World Cup racers - and maybe, just maybe, slipping the course at Birds of Prey will help these young ski racers continue to follow a path toward a successful career in the sport."I love it," Hoerr said. "I get this feeling when they go by like, 'Oh my gosh - I hope that's going to be me someday.'"Assistant Managing Editor Lauren Glendenning can be reached at 970-748-2983 or email@example.com.

Tech Giants Bid to Close 700,000-Job E.U. Skills Gap
The tech sector has been something of a shining light in otherwise gloomy European economies. But there is a problem. According to European Commission Vice President Neelie Kroes, while the number of digital jobs is growing by 3% each year, the number of newly-qualified ICT workers is shrinking, leaving up to 700,000 unfilled vacancies in the E.U.
In many cases, technology-related jobs have been difficult to fill because for either the skills are not there or the qualifications are not recognized—or simply because the applicant doesn't know English.
It's about time to join in a "massive effort to 'turn the tide'," [Ms. Kroes] said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The "massive effort" involves pledges from companies and organizations on jobs, internships, training places, start-up funding, free online university courses and so on. Already backing the initiative are Nokia , Telefónica, SAP, Cisco, HP Alcatel-Lucent , Randstad, ENI, Telenor Group, ARM, the CIO community and CEPIS (Council of European Professional Informatics Societies).
ZDNet adds that Spain's Telefónica issued a its own press release.
It aims to help "close the digital skills deficit in Europe" by pledging to meet its 2015 targets, such as create more than 1,000 start-up firms through its academies in Europe, and to and to build a community of more than 300,000 young people working to "build a more entrepreneurial Europe," among other things.
The Spanish cellular network, which also owns U.K.-based cellular network O2, said it also plans to recruit 1,400 interns, apprentices and graduates into its own business.

The aorta is the main blood vessel that supplies blood to the abdomen, pelvis, and legs. An abdominal aortic aneurysm occurs when an area of the aorta becomes very large or balloons out.
Aneurysm - aortic; AAA
The exact cause of the condition is unknown. Factors that can increase your risk of developing the problem include:
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is most often seen in males over age 60 who have one or more risk factors. The larger the aneurysm, the more likely it is to break open. This can be life-threatening.
Aneurysms can develop slowly over many years, often with no symptoms. Symptoms may come on quickly if the aneurysm expands rapidly, tears open or leaks blood within the wall of the vessel (aortic dissection).
Symptoms of rupture include:
Your doctor will examine your abdomen and feel the pulses in your legs. The doctor may find:
You may have an abdominal aortic aneurysm that is not causing any symptoms. Your doctor may find this problem by doing the following tests:
Any one of these tests may be done when you're having symptoms.
If you have bleeding inside your body from an aortic aneurysm, you will need abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
If the aneurysm is small and there are no symptoms:
Most of the time, surgery is done if the aneurysm is bigger than 2 inches (5.5 cm) across or growing quickly. The goal is to do surgery before complications develop.
There are two types of surgery:
The outcome is often good if you have surgery to repair the aneurysm before it ruptures.
When an abdominal aortic aneurysm begins to tear or ruptures, it is a medical emergency. Only about 1 in 5 patients survive a ruptured abdominal aneurysm.
Go to the emergency room or call 911 if you have pain in your belly or back that is very bad or does not go away.
To reduce the risk of aneurysms:
People over age 65 who have ever smoked should have a screening ultrasound done once.

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|2.2 Qualifications >
|2.6 Conclusion >>
2.1 Publishing career
2.1.1 Over the past thirty years or so, David Irving has published a substantial number of works on historical subjects, Some of them have gone through many reprints and a number of different editions. The great majority of them are about the Second World War, and in particular about Nazi Germany and its leaders.
2.1.2 By the time he was thirty, he had already begun researching and writing on twentieth-century history, publishing his first book, The Destruction of Dresden, in 1963. There followed The Mare's Nest, a study of German secret weapons in the Second World War, published in 1964, and a book about the German atomic bomb, The Virus House, in 1967. In the same year, Irving published two more books, The Destruction of Convoy PQ17, and Accident - The Death of General Sikorski. Despite their somewhat specialized titles, these books in many cases aroused widespread controversy and made Irving into a well-known figure. The Destruction of Dresden created a storm by alleging that the bombing of Dresden by Allied airplanes early in 1945 caused many more deaths than had previously been thought. The Destruction of Convoy PQ 17 aroused serious objections on the part of a British naval officer criticized by Irving in his book. Accident generated considerable outrage by its suggestion that the Polish exile leader in the Second World War, General Sikorski, had been assassinated on the orders of Winston Churchill. By the end of the 1960s Irving had already made a name for himself as an extremely controversial writer about the Second World War.
2.1.3 With the publication of his massive study of Hitler's War in 1977, Irving stirred up fresh debate. In this book, he argued that far from ordering it himself, Hitler had not known about the extermination of the Jews until late in 1943, and both before and after that had done his best to mitigate the worst antisemitic excesses of his subordinates. Irving heightened the controversy by publicly offering a financial reward to anyone who could come up with a document proving him wrong.
2.1.4 The furor completely overshadowed his publication of a biography of the German general Manfred Rommel in the same year, under the title The Trail of the Fox. The following year, Irving brought out a 'prequel' to his book on Hitler and the Second World War, entitled The War Path. In 1981 he published two more books, one, The War Between the Generals, devoted to exposing differences of opinion between the commanders of Hitler's army during the Second World War, the other, Uprising!, arguing, to quote Irving himself, 'that the Uprising of 1956 in Hungary was primarily an anti-Jewish uprising', because the Communist regime was run by Jews.1
2.1.5 The stream of books by Irving continued with Churchill's War in 1987, Rudolf Hess; The Missing Years published in the same year, a biography of Hermann Göring (in 1989), and most recently a book on Goebbels: Mastermind of the 'Third Reich' (1996). The same year, Irving also produced a book to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials, Nuremberg: The Last Battle (1996, based on an earlier work).
2.1.6 And while he has been producing new work, he has also been publishing revised and amended editions of some of his earlier books, most notably, 1991, Hitler's War, which also incorporated a new version of The War Path . In addition he has published a number of books in German which have not appeared in English, including a study of Allied bombing raids on German cities (Und Deutschlands Städte starben nicht, 1963) and a broader study of strategic bombing in the twentieth century (Von Guernica bis Vietnam, published in 1982). Finally, he has edited and translated several documents of the Second World War, including the diaries of Göring's deputy, Erhard Milch, under the title The Rise and Fall of the Luftwaffe (1973) and Adolf Hitler; The Medical Diaries (1983).
2.1.7 Irving is also a frequent writer of letters to newspapers and periodicals on historical subjects, mostly replying to criticisms of his own work. He has given many hundreds of speeches and lectures in many different countries; the overwhelming majority of them have been on aspects of the Second World War and Nazi Germany; a very large number of these have been recorded on videotape or audiocassette. He has also made his views clear in a variety of periodical publications he himself has put out or contributed to, and in recent years he has built up a substantial website on the Internet to disseminate his views, again principally on aspects of the area of history with which he has always concerned himself. This is constantly changing, but it includes lengthy documents and analyses produced or reproduced by Irving himself as well as by others whose views are congenial to him.
2.1.8 There is no difficulty, in other words, documenting Irving's views on Hitler and the Holocaust, and no problem in finding abundant source material on which to test Deborah Lipstadt's allegations about his methods, his standing in the profession, and the other points at issue in this case.
1. David Irving, 'On Contemporary History and Historiography. Remarks delivered at the 1983 International Revisionist Conference', The Journal of Historical Review, Vol. 5, No. s 2,3,4 (Winter, 1984), pp. 251-88, here p. 265.

Dave Brubeck died Dec. 5, the day before his 92nd birthday. Now the Oakland East Bay Symphony has announced a special tribute concert to the East Bay native and jazz legend, whose work bridged the jazz and classical worlds, reaching a worldwide audience for better than half a century.
Led by music director Michael Morgan, the June 1 event at the Paramount Theatre will feature a crop of guests: Chris Brubeck, the trombonist and bassist who constantly collaborated with his father; Taylor Eigsti, the pianist from Menlo Park who was mentored by Dave Brubeck and is now a top player in New York, as well as a budding symphonic composer; renowned mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade, who lives in Alameda and once recorded an album of Brubeck tunes ("Across Your Dreams"); and Dayna Stephens, the Oakland-bred tenor saxophonist, also now a major jazz voice in New York.
"We are honored to pay tribute to a great artist who was involved with many of our lives and careers at the Oakland East Bay Symphony," conductor Morgan said, "and had such a far-reaching impact on the world of music but especially on the Bay Area music scene."
The concert will link Brubeck (born in Concord in 1920, the son of an East Bay cattle rancher) to another iconic figure from the Bay Area, photographer Ansel Adams. (He was born in 1902 in San Francisco's Western Addition.) The June 1 program will feature the Grammy-nominated "Ansel Adams: America," a symphonic tribute composed by Chris and Dave Brubeck and featuring 102 images by Adams, including his famous shots of Half Dome and Horsetail Fall.
Morgan said the program -- a benefit for the orchestra's education programs -- also will include some of the tunes made famous by Brubeck and his quartet, including "Blue Rondo a la Turk" and "Take Five." Chris Brubeck will give a pre-concert talk.
Tickets ($35-$250) go on sale April 6 at www.oebs.org and 800-745-3000.

Product Description
The Bordeaux Wine Glass is perhaps the hardest working of the Wine Master range. It enhances the qualities from a huge range of grape varieties. And it does it brilliantly. That leaves you with a great glass for any Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Franc dominant wine, from the reds of the Loire to the Cabernet Shiraz of South Australia. Cabernet wines have a firmness and structure that requires plenty of aeration. The moderately tall bowl of this wine glass focuses the distinctive black fruit aromas of Cabernet, while the straight, wide rim softens the rigid tannins of the variety. Tuscan wines such as Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino also excel with this glass. Set of 2.
Dartington Winemaster Bordeaux Wine Glass Dimensions: 9.3"H
Dartington Winemaster Bordeaux Wine Glass Capacity: 20.3 OZ.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team put together a strong first inning with four runs to cruise past Stephen F. Austin 4-2 Saturday to notch their third consecutive Southland conference sweep of the season. The Islanders have now won eight of their last nine conference games and six in a row. Senior Greta Cecchetti pitched her second consecutive one-hit game in 4.2 innings and improved to a perfect 8-0 in conference play.
The Islanders (15-16, 10-4) outhit the Ladyjacks 9-2 today and 15-3 in the two games combined at Chapman Field. Junior Meagan McKinney powered the Islanders' bats, going 3-for-3 and Hayley Galloway went 2-for-2. Sandy Schumann, Jamise Jackson, Stephanie Vead and Cassie Carroll also contributed with one hit apiece. Carroll also chipped in two RBIs, while Jackson added one.
SFA (11-27, 2-10) jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the opening frame before the Islanders scored four runs on four hits to take a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the first inning. All nine batters came to the plate for the Islanders with Jackson, Vead, McKinney and Carroll all registering consecutive singles. Cassie Redman started things with a leadoff walk and Jackson followed with a two-out RBI single to left field to plate Redman and tie the game at 1-1.
Vead and Mckinney followed suit with singles to right field and Carroll scored Jackson and Vead on a two-run blast to right field. McKinney scored the Islanders fourth run on a wild pitch before Galloway reached base on a walk. The Ladyjacks' Carlie Thomas was able to escape out of the jam with her third strikeout of the inning.
Cecchetti (9-4) came in for relief for Jordan Trujillo in the top of the third after SFA plated another run on one hit to pull within two. Bethany Brown started the inning with a walk and Amber Price's RBI single to right center plated Brown before Cecchetti retired the next 12 batters.
The senior put together another impressive performance in the circle. In 4.2 innings, Cecchetti retired 14 of the 15 batters she faced with seven of them being strikeouts. In the two games combined against SFA she struck out 18 Ladyjacks in 11.2 innings of work. For the week Cecchetti totaled 25 strikeouts in 17.2 innings.
The Islanders left three runners stranded on base in the third inning. McKinney registered her second hit of the game with a two-out single up the middle and tallied her second stolen base of the season. Carroll followed with a walk before Galloway reached base on an infield single to load the bases before the Ladyjacks collected their third out of the inning.
In the fifth inning, the Islanders recorded two more hits. McKinney hit a chopper to shortstop for her third hit of the game and Galloway slapped a solo shot to shortstop with two outs but the Ladyjacks caught McKinney stealing home to get out of the inning.
SFA recorded their second hit of the game in the seventh with a single to right center but the Islanders ended the game with a strikeout and a ground out.
The Islanders will next be in action on Saturday, April 21, when they meet the Houston Baptist Huskies again in a non-conference doubleheader. First pitch is at 1 p.m. in Houston.
