Southland radio show host trying to boost Baja tourism.
Outdoors, action and adventure, 2 de diciembre de 2011. por Philip Friedman.
I tuned into AM 830 on Thursday night and heard something I hadn't heard in years: positive talk about Baja California.
Not Cabo San Lucas and other sun-baked and idyllic Baja California Sur destinations, but northern Baja and once-popular tourism spots such as Rosarito Beach, Ensenada and Tijuana.
FRIEDMAN: Rosarito Beach trip good for soul.
dailybreeze.com, 2 de diciembre de 2011. por Phil Friedman.
When Aston Smith of the Palos Verdes Peninsula heard that Philip Friedman Outdoors was headed to Rosarito Beach he was all in.
Even though it had been 24 years since he had crossed the border into Baja, he felt compelled to go. The talk of fishing, lobster dinners and Baja's charm certainly appealed to Smith, but the trip offered something that captivated him from the time he heard about it. It was the option to visit the all-girls orphanage Casa Estrella in Rosarito Beach as well as help out at the Good Samaritans Medical Clinic.
Despite the Hype, Mexico Is Indeed Safe for Tourists.
perspectivemagazine.com, 24 de noviembre de 2011.
HSI's Craig Morganson is working to dispel myths and repair damage to Mexican Tourism and its impact on travel companies
After an increase of violence among drug cartels and between drug cartels and Mexico officials in 2010, the U.S. Department of State issued the first in a series of Travel Warnings against Mexico. According to the April 22, 2011 Warning, its purpose was to "inform U.S. Citizens traveling to and living in Mexico about the security situation in Mexico." The Travel Warning goes on to claim that "While most victims of violence are Mexican citizens associated with criminal activity, the security situation poses serious risks for U.S. citizens as well." Unfortunately, and at great expense to both the U.S. and Mexico, these statements are inflammatory.
Oscar Nominee Emily Watson on filming in Rosarito: "I feel very good, very safe... I think its important for cinema to be made in Mexico especially with the bad news, which by the way happens everywhere in the world."
El siglo de Torreón, 14 de Octubre, 2011. por Agencia Reforma.
Porque es un gran cuento mágico que explora la fe desde la mirada de un niño, la actriz Emily Watson aceptó sin reparo protagonizar la cinta mexicana Little Boy, y venir a Baja California a rodarla, a pesar del clima de violencia que se vive en el país, mismo que, dijo, no ha sentido durante su estancia en tierra nacional.

Surf and Travel in Baja California.
Camp Pendleton Patch, 19 de Octubre de 2011 por Serge Dedina.
n 2007, violent assaults and robberies experienced by American surfers and off-road enthusiasts in Baja California rocked the avid Baja travel community in Southern California.
That news combined with the very real violence and media coverage of the drug war in Mexico caused many Baja stalwarts to abandon their lifestyle dedicated to surfing, fishing, off-roading, diving, hiking and just plain enjoying one of the world′s most spectacular natural and cultural regions..
US Ambassador to Mexico, Anthony Wayne meets Business Leaders in Baja.
US Embassy, 1 de Octubre de 2011 .
Mexico City, - United States Ambassador Anthony Wayne met yesterday evening with Tijuana Mayor Carlos Bustamante Anchondo in Tijuana to discuss the U.S. Government's commitment to creating a 21st Century Border that is as efficient at expediting the flow of legitimate trade and travel as it is at preventing illicit traffic.
During the meeting, Ambassador Wayne expressed special appreciation for the rapid municipal response during the San Ysidro port of entry construction collapse on September 14th, in which the Tijuana police worked closely with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials to re-route heavy traffic, maintain order, and manage the overburdened approaches to the Otay Mesa port of entry.

Mariachi for Gringos
San Diego reader,September 16 2011 By Dave Good.
"It's all about the kids." When Gil Sperry says the 2nd Annual Rosarito Beach International Mariachi and Folklorico festival this September 28 will benefit the Rosarito chapter of the Boys and Girls Club, he means from the ground up -- literally. In 2009, Sperry was asked to attend the club's groundbreaking ceremony.
They asked the author and retired Chula Vista elementary school teacher if he'd be able to help them raise money to build a new clubhouse. He agreed. "Last year, we had an espectacular concert. Mariachi Divas (the Grammy award winners are the subject of Sperry's third book on Mariachi) were the headliners."

TIJUANA — Women from both sides of the border are expected to gather in Tijuana and Rosarito Beach for a series of events this weekend that include a networking party, a Mexican fiesta, a visit to an orphanage and a tour of a medical clinic.
The event is being billed as Cien Mujeres in Baja--One Hundred Women in Baja--and is aimed at encouraging San Diegans to reconnect with Baja California..
The new Tijuana cool.
nypost.com, August 16 2011 By David Landsel.
¡Hola amigos! Pull on your big person pants and head for the border — time to get reacquainted with one of North America's most secretly awesome cities.
IT'S tough all over, but for Tijuana, the last few years have been murder.
Terror fears? Let's build some walls. Illegal immigrant fears? More walls again, tighter restrictions, longer lines. Oh, and now that crossing the border is a huge pain, how about we tack on a bird flu scare. And just for fun, the drug wars?
Stroll down the Avenida Revolucion these days – the heart of this Baja California border city's tourist zone – and you'll find it as forlorn as a winter's day on the Coney Island boardwalk, with gate after gate rolled down, shut tight. Last year, it was reported that nearly sixty percent of the businesses in the once-thriving district had failed.
Experiential Learning: Rosarito, Mexico
Emmerson College, August 12 2011 By Guest blogger.
As a Communication Management graduate student at Emerson, I've been exposed to a wide variety of applications for this line of study. So far, I've taken courses in theory, research methods, stakeholder communication, public affairs, public diplomacy, and web-based communication strategies, all of which have offered distinct contributions to the overall skill set I'm looking to develop during my time in this program. While it can sometimes be hard to tie together concepts from different classes, this past spring I became involved in the RediscoveRosarito Project, and I immediately realized that this project would provide me with the opportunity to utilize what I had been learning in the classroom.
Metanoia plays with "Little Boy"
variety.com, August 4 2011 By James Young.
L.A.-based Metanoia Films is set to make helmer Alejandro Monteverde's "Little Boy," starring Ben Chaplin, Emily Watson and David Henrie.
Pic is budgeted at $24 million, funded by a nearly 50-50 split between U.S. and Mexican investors.
Little Boy" is a family drama set in small-town America in the early days of WWII. It revolves around an 8-year-old with developmental problems. His only friend is his father, and with his departure to war, the troubled boy is forced to confront the cruelty of schoolmates and others..
Film set in World War II being shot in Baja California.

A movie set in California during World War II is being shot in Baja California, generating an estimated $14 million investment to the state and bringing new hope to the region's lagging film industry.
Filmmaker Eduardo Verástegui describes "Little Boy" as an "adult fairy tale," with a look inspired by Norman Rockwell's paintings. Much of the action will be shot in English at Baja Studios south of downtown Rosarito Beach, the same location where James Cameron's 1997 movie "Titanic" was filmed.

The two-day summit, entitled "Building Baja's Tomorrows Today," was held June 8th and 9th at the Rosarito Beach Hotel, Mexico, which provided free lodging and meals for those attending.
Expats look to improve image of Baja.
San Diego Reader, June 15 2011 By Dorian Hargrove.
Ken Bell sees the impact that the decline in tourism to Mexico has had on the economy. As media reports of drug cartel violence increase, Bell has seen more businesses close near his home in Rosarito Beach, and he has seen more homes go on the market.
He is not the only expat from the U.S. to have noticed the change. The thousands of foreign residents living in Baja are just as aware.

Carta De México: En medio de la guerra de drogas, un auge económico impresionante.

MERIDA, México-En un momento en los Estados Unidos se enfrenta a la posibilidad de una "doble caída" en una recesión, la economía de México se está expandiendo a un ritmo más rápido en esta década.
Para la mayoría del siglo 20, los mexicanos se lamentaban cuando la economía de EE.UU. se desaceleró, México, siempre tan dependiente de su vecino del norte, sufrió una recesión. "Cuando los EE.UU. se resfría, a México le da una pulmonía", fue una frase común entre los funcionarios y directivos a ambos lados de la frontera..

Grub Street SanFrancisco, June 06 2011 By Jay Barmann.
Our cohorts in Chicago are used to following the comings and goings of hometown chef and first crowned Top Chef Master Rick Bayless, but we don't get to see too much of him out here in California. Bayless made an appearance yesterday at Sunset's Celebration Weekend in Menlo Park, and Grub Street San Francisco grabbed a few words with him to discuss any possible expansion plans he has for the West Coast, the meal he had at Manresa on Saturday, and where in Mexico he's been loving to eat lately. (Hint: The eighth season of his PBS show just wrapped, and as Grub Street Chi has already noted, it's entirely focused on the Baja peninsula.)
Mexico One Plate at a Time" Episode 8. First stop: Rosarito's Tacos el Yaqui.
Frontera Fiesta, April 27 2011 By Blake.
Our first episode about Tijuana focused on the unexpected: the city's little-known role as the home of the Caesar salad, and super-modern cooking at Mision 19, among other places. But of course, a trip to Tijuana is not complete without sampling some incredible street food! Our taco crawl (with one unplanned stop at a tiny torta spot that we were told no one should miss) was one of our favorite days of the whole trip. From wood-grilled carne asada to griddled shrimp and cheese to some very unusual "queso tacos" with a layer of crunchy "cheese chicharron," we sampled the range of Tijuana's finest taco creations!

Gayle Johnson from Torrance had to keep silent about her plans to go to Baja last weekend. The former host of "Fish Talk Radio" was headed to Rosarito Beach on a trip organized by Baja Now.
Along with Johnson were three 17-year-old senior girls from North Torrance High - her daughter Hannah Brown and her two friends, Hannah Won and Sammi Soohoo.
"I just don't tell people when I am headed to Baja anymore because I have to listen to how dangerous it is," Johnson said. "It always seems to come from people who never travel there."
Rosarito Beach still a pleasant weekend getaway destination.
petethomasoutdoors.com April 13 2011 By Pete Thomas.
I drove to Rosarito Beach with friends this past weekend and was surprised to discover that the Baja California town's namesake hotel was bustling with tourists.
Most were Mexicans participating in a church retreat, but at least two dozen guests had made the short drive from Southern California. Perhaps this is an indication that the once-popular tourist destination is mounting a slow comeback two years after the peak of hysteria regarding drug-related violence in Baja's border region.
Q&A: Group encourages Americans to live in Mexico.
Houston Chronicle April 4 2011 By Jenalia Moreno
Selling Americans retirement and vacation homes in Mexico has become a challenge. The slowdown in the global economy, Mexico's highly publicized drug violence and the swine flu outbreak, among other problems, have kept many Americans from buying property south of the border.
Those promoting the market recently launched the Mexico Real Estate Coalition to reassure investors that it's safe to buy houses in Mexico. Houstonian Chris Hill, a founder of the coalition and CEO of Houston-based Stewart Title Latin America, discussed the Mexican market in an interview with Chronicle reporter Jenalia Moreno.

Ten months after Miguel Angel Guerrero opened El Taller, the restaurant has exceeded his highest expectations. Customers have been packing into the converted warehouse with a corrugated tin ceiling and large wood-burning oven to celebrate family birthdays, meet business associates and catch up with friends.
"With just a little, you can do a lot," said Guerrero, an avid hunter and diver who at times serves up his latest catch or vegetables grown on his family's rancho. He is both the chef and majority partner of El Taller, which opened last June off Agua Caliente Boulevard with an investment of less than $160,000.

Great Dryer, While It Works..This dryer was great until the two year mark passed. I'm sure that it overheated due to the fact that it is impossible to properly clean it. The back where the fan and filter exist, does not dissemble for cleaning in any way. It overheated to the point of actually catching on fire. This dryer is not any better than some of the 50 to $60 dryers that I've purchased at Sally's. In fact, many of them were much better as they can be cleaned properly. My advice would be to avoid T3 products entirely until they fix the design flaws.Mar 27, 2016Stacy C. / IN - IndianaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Works Great... For A Short Time.This is my second T3 Featherweight. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... yeah. So my first one was amazing, but it died and because I loved it so much I replaced it with the Featherweight 2. For starters, the 2 is much less appealing- looks cheaply made, didn't feel as light, and didn't work quite as well. But it was still a good dryer. And then, this week, after less than 2 years, it stopped heating up. It's now blowing warm air, but not the super hot air I am used to.
Because I'm within 2 years of purchase, I am reaching out to T3 about the warranty but as I understand it, I'll have to pay to ship it back and pay some fee ($30 maybe?) to have it repaired. So is it worth it? I don't think so. When T3s work well, they're great, but for the price they should last you a very long time, and these just don't. FYI my mom and I both had featherweights, and hers blew out too- in less than a year and a half (and this is not with daily use, either). I can't recommend.

Stay Away! Not Worth Your Money!My husband gave me a t3 Veloce in December 2011. Six months later, something exploded inside and it died. T3 honored my warranty and sent me another one. Six months later, that one died. Then that one died...and so on, and so on. The Featherweight was my FIFTH T3 REPLACEMENT DRYER IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS.
I assumed that once T3 send me the Featherweight instead of another Veloce, I wouldn't have anymore problems. Until the Featherweight just stopped working. 8 months after receiving it. I guess the plus side is that it didn't explode like the others I received.
Don't bother with anything made by T3. Read the rest of the reviews here...they all mention that their first dryer died after 1-2 years. That's not supposed to happen! Yes, the T3 is great while it works. Unfortunately, it only works for several months.

Ok Overall But Needs WorkI don't know why so many hair dryers are designed with the "on/off" button right in the exact location you grip it. This causes awkwardness not to mention numerous times of accidentally turning it off while you're in the process of drying your hair. The T3 Featherweight Tourmaline Hair Dryer is no exception, unfortunately. Hopefully they will redesign this feature because it does do a nice job of drying the hair.
Second gripe is that it has a 2-year warranty - great you say. But I have had two now break down on me at the 2-years and a month or so date. Bums me out because you expect something that costs this much to last longer - especially that I only dry my hair 2-3 times a week.
My advice - you may want to go into a store like Ulta or the likes and actually hold the dryer you drop $200 on.Sep 19, 2013Catherine / Chicago, ILHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

Not As Good As The Original FeatherweightMy original Featherweight blew out after only 1.5 years, but I loved it so much I came back for the Featherweight 2. What a mistake. This one is heavier and bulkier, and frankly also looks kind of cheap.
I think this works better than a drugstore dryer, but not as well as the original. Why mess with a good thing??
FYI if you are a diffuser user like me, you need the diffuser 2 for this one. The diffuser from the original featherweight does not fit here. Totally annoying that you have to spend another $25 after dropping $200 on this dryer.Apr 12, 2013Simeen / Chicago, ILHAIR TYPECurly Hair

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. "
Ownership Risk
After 9/11, there is no need to invent catastrophic-damage scenarios involving airplanes. The attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon demonstrated conclusively that jets can cause damage on a previously unimagined scale.
So far, damage caused by business jets has been largely unintentional. But unintentional damage can still be significant, and as lawyers well know, where there is damage, there is potential liability. The question is: whose liability?
The first people to get blamed in an aircraft accident are usually the members of the flight crew. But even if they were negligent, potential liability doesn't stop there. FAA regulations provide that the party with operational control at the time the accident occurs is responsible for the aircraft's safe operation. The operator and pilots are often covered by the same insurance policy with the same liability limits.
Another typical target-one that the same insurance policy doesn't cover-is the manufacturer of the aircraft. The manufacturer can be liable in various ways, including as a result of defective design or manufacture, either on a negligence theory or because the law holds the manufacturer strictly liable. Other liability targets include manufacturers of the engines and other components, maintenance facilities and air traffic controllers.
But the least obvious and sometimes least protected liability target is the aircraft owner. Even if the owner didn't have operational control at the time of the accident, he or she can still be held responsible for damage caused by the aircraft. A sobering New York statute provides, for example, that "every owner of an aircraft shall be liable and responsible for death occasioned or injuries to person or property sustained, within or above this state, as the result of the use or operation of the aircraft in the business of the owner or otherwise..."
Statutes like this will catch many owners by surprise, and with some justification. In aviation's early days, many people regarded airplanes as inherently ultra-dangerous. People on the ground worried about injuries and damages resulting from things falling out of airplanes, not to mention airplane crashes. Before World War II, roughly half the states enacted legislation that made an airplane owner absolutely liable for damages to people or property on the ground caused by the airplane regardless of whether the owner was negligent. Later, as aircraft came to be viewed as a common means of transportation instead of a hazardous amusement for daredevil aeronauts, many of these statutes were repealed, but some states (e.g., Delaware and New Jersey) still have such laws.
There are important differences between such laws and the New York statute. First, the New York statute applies to any damage, not just to damage to people or property on the ground. Second, it applies whether the owner operates the aircraft or makes it available (by lease or rental, say) to another person to operate, but only so long as that other person would be liable. Here are some ways that can happen:
• The owner puts the aircraft out for charter on another party's air carrier certificate.
• The owner of a share of an aircraft makes the aircraft available to other participants in a fractional-share program.
• The owner leases the aircraft for a few days to another company to operate.
In all these scenarios, if the aircraft is involved in an accident and its operator is at fault, the New York statute makes the owner liable as well.
Is there any way to avoid such liability? The New York statute contains an important exemption for cases where the damage was caused while the aircraft was under lease to another party for 30 days or more. Unfortunately for owners, many lease, charter and fractional arrangements may be deemed to involve leases of less than 30 days. When trying to arrange a short-term lease, the owner may request that the lessee indemnify him from damages. This could be helpful in shifting liability to the operator, but it obviously won't work if the operator is another entity under common control with the owner.
Given the difficulty of avoiding liability as an owner, an aircraft buyer may seek to shield himself from liability by setting up a corporation or similar entity (such as a limited liability company) to own the aircraft. One of the purposes of a corporation, after all, is to limit the liability of shareholders to their investment, in this case the aircraft. But a corporate shield will be effective only if the corporation (or a third party) operates the aircraft.
In other words, a corporation is of dubious value as a liability shield unless it shields the shareholder from liability as both an owner and an operator. In a typical scenario, where the corporation leases the aircraft back to the shareholder to operate, the fact that the shareholder is shielded from liability as an owner will be largely irrelevant.
For this reason, many business lawyers will structure their client's aircraft acquisition so that the new company, often referred to as a "flight department company," both owns and operates the aircraft. From a business-law standpoint, this makes perfect sense. From the standpoint of FAA regulations, however, it's a disaster. The FAA's position is that an aircraft operated by a company with no business other than owning and operating an aircraft isn't eligible to operate under Federal Aviation Regulations Part 91. Instead, it must have a commercial operating or air carrier certificate-something few flight department companies possess.
You can try to create a structure to limit ownership liability without undertaking operational liability and still operate under Part 91, but it's not easy. In the end, you may wind up relying on insurance, and here there is actually some good news. Liability insurance is available up to $500 million. So far, no damage award arising out of a business jet accident has come close to that amount. Moreover, if your aircraft is owned by one company and leased to and operated by another, each company could purchase up to $500 million of liability protection.
If you own an aircraft or a share in one, it is worth reviewing what your liability exposure might be in the event of an accident.

I have come across many great experiences since playing competitive soccer for Idaho Rush and Osprey. Many of these experiences were shared with friends and coaches that will forever be a vital part of my soccer journey. There were some disappointments, but many successes and joys along the way. Regardless the outcome, each experience had a life lesson for me to learn. Lastly, the many opportunities that Rush offered me to teach my skills to younger players, and disabled players, have allowed those players to leave a lasting impact on me. Overall, Rush gave me the opportunities and skills needed for me to be able to play at the collegiate level. The coaching staff prepared me well for college soccer.
There were so many tournaments, trips, State Cups and other events that were great experiences for me that it's difficult to list all of them and their lessons. The following are the experiences that I thought were the most important to me:
- State cups served as short-term goals for the team and individuals to achieve. Some State Cups weren't won, and so therefore we all felt disappointment. Losing taught me to work harder in order to perform my best the next year. Losing a State Cup always served as motivation to win the next year. The concept of working harder to achieve one's goals is applicable in every aspect of life, and soccer gave me a different view to see how hard work pays off.
- Other tournaments, such as Regional tournaments and the National President's Cup, opened my eyes on how much I needed to improve in order to compete at the national level or the collegiate level. This can mirror the change experienced going from high school into college. Huge culture shocks like the first semester in college wasn't as dramatic as expected. I credit this to the many prestigious tournaments that my team and I were able to play in over the years. The experience I felt from jumping between State Cups to a regional tournaments or the National President's Cup was similar to the culture shock felt in college. A lot more was expected of me in college, both in school and on the pitch, and I think the college recruiting tournaments we attended helped me learn how to perform under pressure. Performing under pressure is a vital skill to have in the classroom and on the pitch in college. I'm thankful that Rush gave me and my team the skills needed to perform under pressure.
- The last opportunity Rush presented to me was to teach young and disabled players through The Outreach Program for Soccer (TOPS). This program showed me that the love for the game of soccer was even in those who may be physically or mentally disabled. I felt blessed to have the ability to help the kids in TOPS to learn and enjoy soccer. They inspire me to overcome any hardships that I may experience in my soccer career.

"The time spent on the airplane can build relationships—with employees as well as business colleagues. Taking someone along on a trip is sharing, rather than giving. "
Sir Richard Branson
"I predict that you will either go to prison or become a millionaire." Those were the parting words to Richard Branson from the headmaster at England's Stowe School, when Branson left the institution at age 16.
The forecast was just a bit off on both counts. Branson has tangled with the law a few times over the years and did go to jail very early in his career, but only for one night. (He paid a fine for selling record albums that had been declared export stock and has never again been behind bars.) And while he indeed became a millionaire, calling him that today would be a serious understatement: his net worth currently hovers somewhere between $3.8 billion and $7.8 billion, depending on who's doing the counting.
But the headmaster's prediction was understandable. A flamboyant maverick since childhood, Branson launched his first successful business-a national magazine for students-while still in high school. And from an early age, he has demonstrated a love for risk-taking and adventure. Some of his undertakings-such as attempting to fly around the world in hot-air balloons-have nearly killed him, though he did successfully cross the Atlantic and Pacific in balloons. Some business ventures, like Virgin Cola and the perhaps poorly named Virgin Bride clothing retailer, have flopped or floundered. But still others, such as Virgin Records and Virgin Atlantic Airways, have made him one of the richest people on Earth.
His success and style, meanwhile, have rendered him so popular that when pollsters recently asked Britons who their children should look up to, Branson scored second only to "a family member." Below him on the list were Jesus Christ, Nelson Mandela, Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King.
Today, at age 57, Branson sits atop an empire consisting of well over 300 Virgin Group companies-but "sits" may be the wrong word to apply to a man who seems to have been running without pause for decades. As our recent conversation suggests, Branson remains as fired up as when he started his first company and has lots of projects in the works-including Virgin Charter, an online booking service for private aircraft that went live to the public the day we met in his New York offices.
You've said you never get the accountants in before you start a business and that "it's done on gut feeling." Can you describe that feeling?
Yes, let's take the example of going into the airline business. I had record companies all over the world. I traveled on other people's airlines. A lump of chicken would be dumped in my lap, there was no entertainment system, the staff on the planes never smiled and it was just a miserable experience. My gut feeling was if I could create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on, other people would like to fly on it, too. If I had gotten the accountants in, they would have almost definitely told me all the reasons why it wasn't going to work. But my gut feeling was that if I could create the best airline in the world, there would be a market for it.
We've set up 300 companies and almost all of them have been based on personal experience. I've been frustrated by the way something has been done by other people and if I can do it better, hopefully the bills will be able to be paid.
I've read that you actually have well over 300 companies now. Do you even know how many?
I don't know exactly.
With so many companies, how do you keep a handle on things and make sure your business philosophy is being followed?
First of all, we find fantastic people to run the companies and we give them a stake in the businesses, so they can run them as if they were their own. I'm the front person for Virgin but behind me are some brilliant people who make sure it all works-people who look for the best in people, people who are good motivators and who are good at praising people. And that hopefully will ricochet down through the companies.
Air transportation's been a big theme throughout your career-everything from space travel to hot-air balloons to Virgin Atlantic and now Virgin Charter. Why have you been so attracted to the field?
I suppose my most common dream is being able to flap my hands and fly. A lot of us have that dream-it's something all of us would love to be able to do. Being able to try to fly around the world in a balloon and watching the magnificent world that we live in from great heights has been breathtaking. Flying over the Himalayas, Everest, the Atlas Mountains and so on-it's incredible to be able to experience this, to go with the wind. I watched the [first] moon landing and thought, "One day, I'll be able to go to the moon myself." But NASA didn't really have plans for you and me; they had it planned just for their astronauts. So now it's great to be able to soon offer people trips into space [via Branson's Virgin Galactic].
What was your first experience with charter aircraft?
About 25 years ago, I was trying to get from Puerto Rico to the British Virgin Islands and I was with 50 other passengers who were meant to be on an American Airlines plane. And as airlines sometimes do, they decided to cancel the flight and we were all left stranded at the airport. So I said to everyone, "Hold on, let me see what I can do." So I chartered a plane for the 50 passengers, divided the other 49 passengers into the price, sold out the plane. That was my first charter experience. And actually, as a result of that, I started Virgin Atlantic. I thought, "Let's start an airline that doesn't bump passengers and doesn't create absolute misery for passengers." I didn't expect that 25 years later I'd be running a charter company with Scott [Duffy, CEO of Virgin Charter].
Why did you decide to partner with him?
I loved [Scott's] idea because I have enormous frustration when I need to book a private plane. I have no idea whether the price is fair. I don't know about the quality. It's just very, very frustrating. And I notice if I do rent a plane, it comes empty and goes back empty. All those empty legs going through the sky-I felt it made sense to fill those empty legs.
I read that someone in your company called Scott and said, "We want to give you much more money than you ever imagined you'd need." Can you tell me how much you put into Virgin Charter?
I suspect our first call would have been to woo him and say we'll give him much more than he needs and from then on we would have been backtracking. I don't know how much money we put in, but we put in enough so that Scott and the team could create a Web site that anyone who wants to rent a private plane will find it easy to use.
Are you actively involved in the business or are you mainly just funding it and giving it your brand name?
I'm there at the birth and then, generally speaking, I'll leave it to Scott and other people to run the company. And then anytime they want me to dive in, I'll be very happy to dive in. You know, at the moment, this is an American company and we're talking about trying to take it overseas and make it global. And I'm sure this company can be the base of other companies as well. The kinds of people who fly on private planes might want to go to the moon one day.

Barack Obama Caves to Pressure at the Eleventh Hour
...thats the good news.
The bad news is...it may be too late...and either way I cant see him getting re-ellected.
So The Republicans idea of basically doing a review, and then deciding in a few months has been accepted. But the Democrats have avoided default...with about thirteen hours to go. Barack Obama has visible gray hairs he didnt have last week...its shocking!
The bad news is...it may be too little too late
Because the United States could never have defaulted...they would, had a default been the only option, taken money away from their populas to avoid it. So the credit rating is less about the physical inability to pay back China (mostly) and more about public confidence.
Firstly...the rest of the world has been watching, and I have got to tell you, we are largely unimpressed. We are unimpressed that the President of the United States, the Great Barack Obama, has been unable to influence with his sharp wit. We are also largely unimpressed that once again Republicans are not realizing that there is more at stake here then America.
What happens in America effects the whole world. Republicans have no quarms about, effectively, distroying the financial wellbeing of THE ENTIRE PLANET to make what many outside America believe is a petty point scoring contest to push this decision closer to the Ellections and bollox the process for Barack Obama.
Personally I aggree with the Republicans in terms of how they should cope with this...and I kinda admire the way they have dared to risk everything...BUT the rest of the world is not quite as pro Right Wing America as me.
Consequently...you might wake up on Tuesday to find your credit rating has been lowered regardless of the eleventh hour deal, largely in favour of the Republicans...because not many of us have confidence in your Nations Leadership abilities, and most of us are frankly tiered of being continually dragged through the shyte because your Government hasnt learned how to manage its money...and the fact it refuses to recognise the impact that has on its "friends" infact...it largely refuses to recognise its "Friends" at all now...and these are "Friends" who made serious errors of judgement in the past AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE, to find that as per usual, America is not willing, when push comes to shove, to think about anything but her self.
You are an extremely Selfish, and may I say foolhardy Nation, who is only just begining to realize that in less then century through gungho attitudes, and power going to your head, you have effectively ruined any chances of becoming a long term super power.
It is an embarissment...and in terms of Collonial Powers, you are fast becoming a flash in the pan I am sorry to say. Largely it is because your Government is Far to polarized...You either need a comprimise...which will never happen...or you need a good solid, and I mean a GOOD, SOLID Republican revolution which will drag the United States almost back into isolation to recover.
Regardless of what occures tommorow...you guys, as the ellectorate, and in accordance with your ideology that YOU, the Citizen are in charge, and NOT Washington Idiots...need to bully, harras, and ceasingly work on reforming, and bringing your Government to account. You need to purge the credit hoarders, and you need to do it post haste. Your Republicans need to get themselves together, they need to be strong, and they need to start acting.
By the time this review is finished, they need to be absolutely Dominant....or in the end...it wont matter at all. This is not just make or break for Republicans...its really make or break for the whole American establishment...it has move so far away from its original ideas that it is now a danger to everyone including itself...and its up to the Republicans to re-establish their Nation...and if the Republicans cant do it...then they need to say so...and someone needs to start a Constitutionalist party, and wipe out Washington politics all together, in time for the next General Ellection. You can not solely be fixed on ousting Barack Obama, without having a unified response. WHO is going to be the next Republican President...and WHY are they not getting global recognition and support NOW? There is no time for you to waste...and I sincerely hope the Republicans are not now going to congratulate themselves and sit back on the laurals for the next few months before plunging what will almost certainly be the final straw for the Obama administration into the capitol. Thats not good enough. I hope that your Senators realize this is the first step, and it was a bloody long time in comming.
I am sorry if you think this is being mean. But if you truely live by the thoughts you have spent ages talking to me about, you should understand this, and largely be in aggreement, and now, please GOD, be motivated to actually make this happen.
Please spare me the carrot of Colonial Power status and the cluck clucking about the need for us seek global approval. No one in America wants any such thing. We are taking care of our own business, and if we did this more often there would be much less for you to wring your hands about.
The Republicans, by the way, do not have that much to do with this. They allowed a lot of this to happen, and are only doing something about it now because we the people are not giving them a choice. I have no doubt at all that the Republicans will sit back and congratulate themselves on whatever we can force them to do, if it turns out to be popular later, but dont worry, we know better than to depend too much on them.
China is coming to get you! Do you understand that? You, personally may not care about colonialism...but your multinational companies, that form the backbone of your industry, and that terraform other countries in order to multiply and bring back profit...THEY DO...and they have a BIG impact...and its a matter of national security that they do for your nation to survive as it does.
Even if you despute ALL of that.
I tell you now. China is very much collonial...as its conquest of Africa at the expense of the US AS WE SPEAK is showing.
You have FOUR years of your Reign left unless you listen and you change. After that, Good luck to you, and GOD save us all...as the Planet becomes eclipsed by an Americans worst nightmare...a Communistic, collonial, ever expanding, ruthless, human rights disregarding Nation of Tyrants...the likes of which you have never seen before.
I would love for you to detail to me, in light of having just written off both democrats and republicans, exactly how you think that you are taking care of your own business. Nice words...but we dont see the action...I think thats the problem im trying to illustrate.
Feel free to educate dumb Englishman...
LOL. This is coming from the "man law", so ladies, please ignore this statement.
Dave, What ya'll think doesnt matter, because we can still kick ya'lls tail.
We may be broke, but we still throw the best hands.
Dont freak out!! I'm just playing with you.
Dave, do you think it wise to come on here and speak like that to a forum made up mostly of Americans? You always complain about people starting crap in the Christianity section, so why are you doing it here? I'm not trying to start anything, I just dont understand you.
I gave you only one sentance of my own specific view on the american debt and how to deal with it.
Can noone read
Though I do understand where people are coming from when their life gets harder due to some people on the otherside of the world.

The details here are awesome…Seriously, working with a fab group of artists on a wedding makes my day…no wait, makes my year! I love it when we get to collaborate with someone who has a vision and then let's us run wild with our ideas…Jen did just THAT! She was such a fun and easygoing bride that had her own personal style and flare to her…Lindye and I took her personality and applied it to her wedding to make it unique, romantic, and artsy, with a touch of vintage modern elements. Mark Brooke Photographers did a FANTASTIC job at capturing the feel of the day, I love the colors in the photos, the soft tones that they incorporated, seriously gorgeous. I love it…I love it all. So without further adieu…the beautiful evidence of this outrageously fun event!
Loving the mix of textures and colors that she had for the Bridesmaid's dresses…paired with their warm ivory Bridesmaids Bouquets filled with white astilbe, white lisianthus, vendela roses, dusty miller and gold-leafed foliage!
Vintage Modern gold frames and beautiful text That Lindye created…signage makes all the difference!
Drumstick Escort Cards…Genius!
My personal favorite blooms and color scheme of the year…Cafe Au'Lait Dahlias, peach garden roses, maidenhair ferns and dusty miller…love the soft palette. All held in a perfectly stained wood box to coordinate beautifully with the Market Table Runners.
How awesome is this vintage silverware Kraft Paper runner?
This was honestly one of Lindye's shining moments as a designer, she created a HUGE wall of beautifully folded and painted music pages and suspended them behind the Band. An amazing backdrop, so simple and beautiful…I'm sure it only took a few short hours to create…;)
Thank you to Lindye Galloway and Mark Brooke Photographers for helping to create and capture all of this gorgeousness for Jen and Matt…Congratulations!!

These are a fantastic snack, meal on the go, or dessert replacement. And they taste just like a cinnamon roll-but with a little crunch-which I personally find even more texturally appealing than the actual thing.

On The Right Path
At Monday's City Council meeting, several new resolutions were passed, all of which saw unanimous support.
Two resolutions that were moved forward during the meeting focused on the development of the Chadakoin Riverwalk Trail, something that has scene a large amount of activity this year.
"There are two separate applications," said councilman Tony Dolce, R-Ward 2. "It's pretty straightforward. It's an application to move the process along. These applications are for the section of the riverwalk on the north side of the river. Eventually that portion will connect with the south side of the river and continue on behind the train station. Further down the road, that section will actually connect with McCrea's Point."
In May, city officials broke ground on a new portion of the riverwalk in the rear of Blackstone-NEY Ultrasonics. These grant applications, should they be accepted, will help to further fund work on the Riverwalk. The resolutions also included a local, matching share for whatever funds may be received in order to continue construction on the Riverwalk.
"These applications go in to the New York State Regional Economic Development Council," Dolce said. "We'll see what happens. Hopefully it comes through. They're hoping that if the funding comes through we'll be able to have the project started and probably completed by the time construction season is over. It would move pretty quickly."
According to Dolce, city officials should know if the grant proposals have been accepted within one month to six weeks.
Other resolutions that were passed during the voting session included the purchase of a new pumper truck for the fire department, made possible by funding from the Department of Homeland Security Assistance to Firefighters grant program; a new contract with Complus Data Innovations, the company responsible for processing parking tickets for the city; and one resolution which specifically opposes a reduction in funding for the Community Development Block Grant and HOME programs.
Council president Greg Rabb, D-At Large; Steve Szwejbka, I-Ward 1; and Maria Jones, D-Ward 5 were absent during the meeting. Tony Dolce was nominated as acting president for this month's voting session.

Use the Image Browser pane to select which folder to view in the Image Preview pane. You can also use this pane to select a different Image Browser root folder.
The title bar of this pane is usually charcoal-colored. However, when images are being loaded from the folder, it becomes a progress bar, slowly turning green. When 1/4 of the bar is green, 1/4 of the images in the selected folder have been loaded. In the example above, just under a quarter of the [15] images in the Monuments folder have been loaded.
To the right of the title bar is a small button with ellipsis. Select this button to change the root Image Browser folder (the Pictures folder in this example). Only the root Image Browser folder - or the folders beneath it - can be used for making AutoCollages.
The body of the Image Browser pane contains a folder hierarchy. Sub-folders are displayed indented beneath the folder they belong to. A folder with a small triangle icon next to it - such as the faint triangle next to the Pictures folder - has sub-folders. If sub-folders aren't displayed, clicking on the triangle next to the parent folder will show them.
Some folder names have a number in square braces next to them. This is the number of recognized images in that folder. If the number is [300+], there are at least 300 images in the folder, and AutoCollage will only try and load the first 300 if that folder is selected.
AutoCollage can be used to create collages from pictures selected via Windows Live Photo Gallery. When images in the Image Preview pane are from Windows Live Photo Gallery rather than an image browser folder, the title of the Image Browser pane is replaced with 'Live Images' and an image count, as shown below.
To return to folder browsing, simply select the back arrow button next to the title.

Tudor Brown, the president of ARM, said that tablets should be more multimedia-rich and offer more value-added services than netbooks in order to be successful on the market.
One of the potential business models with netbooks was selling them at very low price-points with a contract for Internet access by telecommunication operators. While in some countries there are operators who sell netbooks this way, the majority of such computers are still sold by retailers.
While for netbook manufacturers it is absolutely not important who sells their products, for the end-user it means that after the purchase he or she will not get any value-added services that can be expected from operators.
In addition, netbooks utilize very low-end microprocessors and simply cannot provide adequate performance in multimedia applications simply because they are not tailored for Atom microprocessors. As a result, people still have to acquire traditional notebooks in order to enjoy their favourite content.
Netbooks are designed specifically to be portable, primarily capable of basic Web surfing, email and word processing. When people find out that their newly purchased netbook does not have any capability when it comes to multimedia applications, they just go back to the store and pick up a mainstream notebook with better performance and features," said Tudor Brown, the president of ARM, in an interview with DigiTimes web-site.
Tablets should solve netbook-related issues: they should offer value-added services (preferably both from manufacturer and network operator, which will require investments from both) and they should provide high-quality multimedia experience along with long battery life.
"Customers have a growing appetite for tablet PCs as more new features and value-added services will be added to the devices. The trend is tablets will be more multi-functional," stressed Mr. Brown.
The bottom line is: notebooks are for productivity, slates are for entertainment and quick Web surfing. The question what are netbooks for is rhetorical.

Shock ProgramsOne tertiary youth violence prevention intervention meets the scientific criteria established above for Does Not Work: Scared Straight. Scared Straight is an example of a shock probation or parole program in which brief encounters with inmates describing the brutality of prison life or short-term incarceration in prisons or jails is expected to shock, or deter, youths from committing crimes. Numerous studies of Scared Straight have demonstrated that the program does not deter future criminal activities. In some studies, rearrest rates were similar between controls and youths who participated in Scared Straight. In others, youths exposed to Scared Straight actually had higher rates of rearrest than youths not involved in this intervention. Studies of other shock probation programs have shown similar effects. (For more information on Scared Straight and similar shock probation interventions, see Boudouris & Turnbull, 1985; Buckner & Chesney-Lind, 1983; Finckenauer, 1982; Lewis, 1983; Sherman et al., 1997; Vito, 1984; Vito & Allen, 1981.)
The program caught the attention of television executives and "SCARED STRAIGHT! Special: Inside a maximum-security prison" was aired. The TV show followed 17 juvenile offenders as they experienced prison life for two hours. During the show it was reported that about 8,000 juveniles had visited the prison and that 80% of them were reformed by the experience. The outpour of public support for the program spread nationally - money was pumped in and research was conducted to evaluate its effectiveness (NCIA, n.d.).Disappointingly, researchers found no difference between those participating in the Scared Straight program and those not participating. Attitudes toward law, justice, policemen, punishment and self-perception remained stable. Even more disillusioning was the recidivism rate of those involved in the program. Recidivism rates were found to be higher for those in the program than those not in the program. Some researchers went so far as to believe it increased delinquency (Petrosino, Turpin-Petrosino, & Buehler, 2001).

During a special briefing at the Department of State on March 25, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Gene Cretz spoke about current events in Libya. Ambassador Cretz said:
"I'm here to discuss the situation in Libya today and what the United States and its coalition partners are doing to stop the brutality and bloodshed of the Qadhafi regime, bent on denying its people universal rights that are the birthright of people everywhere.
"My embassy team was evacuated from Libya on February 23rd and has been reconstituted in Washington. They're playing an active role in providing information, analysis, and assistance based on their experience. At best, we're trying to find clarity about a place that, in the best of times, can only be described as opaque. Now, it is exponentially more difficult, as you all know, including your own personal experiences, to get the kind of precise information that we would like.
"Let's discuss how we got here. On February 17th, a brave group of Libyan citizens decided that they no longer wanted to live under a repressive regime which denied them their most basic universal rights for over 41 years. In response to the Libyan people peacefully protesting for their universal rights, the Qadhafi regime unleashed a bloody wave of violence and oppression, slaughtering its own citizens.
"The consequences of those barbaric actions was the exodus of tens of thousands of Libyans and foreigners, and we in the international community rushed at first instance to provide assistance at the Tunisian and Egyptian borders. Since that time, we have provided humanitarian assistance, we've helped those workers get back to their countries, and we continue to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Libya.
"The Libyan people appealed to the world to help stop these barbaric attacks, and the international community spoke with one voice to condemn them and to respond. The Arab League and the GCC called for urgent action, and the UN Security Council mandated all necessary measures to protect civilians, including a no-fly zone. We also implemented -- we, the United States -- our own unilateral response, including sanctions to the Qadhafi regime's atrocities.
"It became clear that Qadhafi and his henchmen had no intention of ceasing the violence and bloodshed, and as the Secretary said last night, we faced the prospect of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe in Benghazi. By his words, by his actions, and certainly by his past deeds, we had to take Qadhafi at his word when he threatened to go house to house and to wreak revenge against the people of Benghazi.
"The international coalition was compelled to act. The coalition's effort over the past week garnered the support and the active participation of nations who recognize the significance of coming together in the international community to address the situation in Libya.
"The Libyan people must be allowed to have a voice. Ultimately, it is the Libyan people themselves who will forge the path forward for Libya. Our immediate goal is to ensure we provide the humanitarian assistance and protection they need in order to achieve their aspirations."

I never intended it to be, but you folks @ State seem to always be having these crisis to deal with.
So for whatever free advice might be worth...
Some of what wrote here years ago in June 2008 might help folks understand that I've been involved in a very long term project and am very pleased to see the international consensus built on the protection of populations in Lybia. It is as if a chapter of realization has been completed and if anything I've written on this blog has helped folks in my gov. present the case, in my anticipating miracles of diplomacy and the demise of ethical infants, then I'd be remis not to offer this slightly dated perspective as the world (and the dipnote staff) helps me to write and publish the next chapter in the saga of the human condition, by way of public comment.
Thanks for listening,
snippets from;
Interesting concept, this "responsibility to protect" signed by 171 nations at the 2005 UNGA.
Like going over a bridge in the fog, you just gotta hope there isn't a section missing out of it on the way to the other side, because you're driving on gut instinct and dead reconing to get there.
One can draw historical precedent and understand the trend toward a greater democratic mindset on this planet exists because other economic and social ideologies have fallen out of favor, simply because a more efficiant system of governance is out there for the choosing if a people wishes to meet their full potential as a nation and as individuals.
And of course there will always be resistance to inevitable change for any number of reasons, both valid and malicious.
In some ways, the democratic trend as manifest seems to defy the second law of thermodynamics in that human affairs generally are becoming more ordered rather than moving towards chaos.
I'd say it's safe to say that if humanity can defy one of the principals of physics, then we indeed create our own reality.
Conciously or not? That is the question.
A little of both, I think.
( from another thread originally )
"I think it will be only when we truly consider ourselves as an endangered species will the human condition start to improve globally.
I say this as the humanitarian aid needed to save 1 million people is sailing away from Burma.
I say this as 300 million in the Mideast are at risk from the proliferation of WMD, and a radical mindset in Tehran willing to wipe nations off the map.
I say this as millions more are at risk of starvation across the globe due to higher cost of food staples.
I say this as some 50-60 conflicts across the globe endanger the peace and security of populations.
Personally, I think Mother Nature is fed up with us in general, and we better get our priorities strait if we're to survive into the 22nd century."
On Monday, the President will hopefully lay out his vision for global sustainability and present the case that Lybia presents the latest test of world leadership to rise to the occasion and do right by the people who seek "peace in freedom." to quote Eisenhower.
We have a history to celebrate, in taking action to secure that for people.
That 500 lb gorilla with the fly-swatter (the US armed forces ) has spoken with word and deed, in the intent of eliminating Ghaddafi's capacity to make war on his people, cratered a few runways and has softened and prepped the battle-space for NATO's job to be made an opposition free zone of any threats to the mission to enforce the peace upon Ghaddafi's forces.
And yes, they are "rather quickly figuring out that it isn't safe to drive a tank across a flat expanse of desert." as I predicted they would.
And folks are thanking us for saving their lives by taking on a kinetic level, what it is our values are defined by as implemented through US foreign policy.
It ain't "mission accomplished" yet, and while we may hand off lead military role in this, We shouldn't think to take a back seat diplomaticly with the coalition in every ongoing aspect of this or any other "phases" to come.
If and when the coalition has Ghaddafi's warrant for arrest in hand from the ICC and UNSC approves that action, will folks draw straws to see who gets to lead in serving it?
A curious mind would like to know how one reaches consensus on these things.

"Liberal Education in an International Context: Preparing Students for a Globally Competitive World,"
Bellarmine University's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), "Liberal Education in an International Context: Preparing Students for a Globally Competitive World," was launched in 2008 as part of the university's reaffirmation of accreditation process. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) requires schools to engage in a 5-year plan to strengthen overall quality and student learning. Bellarmine University's faculty and staff chose internationalization as the theme for our QEP.
International education is a critical feature of our plans for strategic growth and expansion. One of the five major themes of Bellarmine's strategic plan is to integrate an international focus into curricular and co-curricular programs, underscoring our belief that the Bellarmine educational experience must be characterized by a commitment to internationalization. Our broad-sweeping and ambitious Vision 2020, which will help us achieve our mission and underpins our strategic planning, further emphasizes fostering an international community of talented and diverse people studying a broad range of topics and issues.
The objective of Bellarmine University's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is to internationalize the student learning experience. The two major goals are to 1) enhance international curricular offerings and 2) increase student and faculty participation in international experiences.
Three initiatives address enhancing curricular offerings (Goal One) and the remaining three initiatives target an increase in student and faculty participation in international experiences (Goal Two). Thus our plan is organized around enhancing student learning in an international context inside and outside the classroom. We have identified faculty development as a critical strategy for attaining these curricular and experiential goals. This emphasis on faculty development also reflects best practices in internationalization on university campuses. Each initiative is tied to one or more of four student learning outcomes, which reflect knowledge, skills, and attitudinal types of global competencies.
For more information about Bellarmine's QEP, please contact Beth Davis email@example.com, QEP Director.

- The Charles Bridge (or Karluv Most) is one of Prague's most popular tourist attractions. By day it's full of hustle and bustle, wall to wall tourists and stalls selling trinkets. At night it is much quieter - the perfect place for a romantic stroll. In the morning, as the sun rises over the Czech Republic . . . this is my favourite time to visit.

This mouthwash is wonderful, makes your mouth feel so clean and fresh, no burning or irritating effect whatsoever. Love it.
Posted by Reviewer3168479 on Sep 01, 2013
Our dentist recommended that our family use a xylitol mouthwash for reduction of bacteria since we prefer not to use fluoride in our dental products. This XyliWhite Mouthwash is refreshing and we love the cinnamon flavor! Our kids (15,13,11,9) also rinse and gargle with it, which has also helped remove yucky tonsil stones. We love that the mouthwash ingredients are natural and we're not rinsing with a bunch of chemicals. It helped clean the white tongue that seems to be from candida overgrowth. We bought four bottles because the price is good. WE DEFINITELY LOVE THIS PRODUCT!
Works Great!

Our family has used NOW Cinnafresh for several yrs. We are repeat customers, very satisfied with this high-quality & effective product.

Bullying may be reduced
To the Editor:
Almost every time there is a school shooting, we later discover that the perpetrator was once a victim of severe bullying and, consequently, low self-esteem. I believe the proposed installation of security cameras at Martin County West schools may be the first and single-most important suggestion that's been made in the prevention of bullying, as well as the overall protection of our children.
Whether the cameras would be of any significance in the event of an actual shooting is unknown, but I feel their use could help deter the actions of the bullies who are already in our schools. Bullies may not be so quick to throw their weight around if they knew their actions were being recorded.
I removed my daughter from Martin County West due to bullying. Despite the school's policies, there was no stopping the bullies, and retaliation only made their actions more severe.
I would love to see all of our children safe inside our own homes in online programs, such as the one my daughter is in now, but until then I am more than happy to support the installation of these cameras at Martin County West because I believe they may help prevent the actions of bullies that breed these vengeful, pained and angry individuals.

People that have passed PSPO I and achieved certification demonstrate an intermediate understanding of the Scrum framework, and how to apply it to maximize the value delivered with a product. They exhibit a dedication to continued professional development, and a high level of commitment to their field of practice. Achieving PSPO I is the minimum demonstration of knowledge any Professional Scrum Product Owner should be able to make.

Already have a password? Start PSPO II Now*
View the list of PSPO II Certificate Holders
To be effective, Scrum Product Owners need to have a firm grasp on the value drivers for their product, and a keen sense of how to use agile practices and Scrum to maximize that value. The Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) assessments allow people to validate their understanding of Scrum and product ownership, and how they would respond to real situations that would challenge them.
Those that pass the PSPO assessments will receive the corresponding industry recognized certification. There are two options for Scrum Product Owner assessment: PSPO I and PSPO II. These assessments are sequential, meaning that the PSPO I must be passed before attempting the much more difficult PSPO II.
PSPO I and PSPO II certification is highly recognized in the industry as the only Scrum certification based on testing of knowledge and understanding and therefore are significantly more valuable than available alternatives for Scrum. Scrum.org certification does not require retesting nor does it require future payments to retain certification status.
We strive to ensure that they remain valuable and relevant through frequent inspection and adaptation of the assessment content.

Listen to science and reason
Some people advocating for a wolf hunting season claim the wolf is a cause of decline in the deer population. But, it is a well known fact that in the U.P., deer survival is especially influenced by winter severity, winter food supply and cover. The winter we are currently experiencing, with its deep snows and extremely cold temperatures will likely result in a devastating blow to the deer population.
A recent study conducted in Wisconsin revealed that hunters killed more adult and yearling deer than any other cause – more than four times higher than any other source. Researchers broke down deer mortality as follows: human hunting (43 percent), starvation (9 percent), poaching (8 percent), coyote (7 percent), wolf (6 percent), and roadkill (6 percent). An ongoing study being conducted in the U.P. shows similar results.
As a deer hunter myself, I believe that wolves should be viewed not as a menace, but as an economic and ecological boon to the state. They help maintain a healthy deer population by taking a small number of weak and sick animals. Wolves also act as a firewall against the spread of dangerous diseases such as Chronic Wasting Disease, EHD and Bovine Tuberculosis. These diseases have not been detected anywhere in Michigan where wolves are present. It's time to listen to science and reason, and value the vital role that wolves play in our ecosystem.
I encourage all Michigan voters with an interest in conservation to join the Keep Michigan Wolves Protected campaign at www.keepwolvesprotected.com.

This chapter provides a description for each CUBRID server components. It will cover the following topics:
The Figure 1.1 illustrates the connection and role of these components in CUBRID server.
In CUBRID server, each connection's information is stored in a CSS_CONN_ENTRY structure. All CSS_CONN_ENTRY store in an array, this array is illustrated as css_Conn_array. CSS_CONN_ENTRY can be divided into two parts: the active part and the free part.
If a CSS_CONN_ENTRY is in the active part, it means this CSS_CONN_ENTRY stores the information about a connection. All active CSS_CONN_ENTRY form a linked-list. The pointer css_Active_conn_anchor points to the head of the list.
If a CSS_CONN_ENTRY is in the free part, it means this CSS_CONN_ENTRY is not used. If a new connection is established, the information about the new connection will be stored into a free CSS_CONN_ENTRY. Free CSS_CONN_ENTRY also form a linked-list with css_Free_conn_anchor pointing to its head.
If a client wants to connect to CUBRID Server, first, it should connect to CUBRID Master.
There are three kinds of threads in CUBRID Server: one master thread, several worker threads and six daemon threads. Between the master thread and worker threads there is a component called css_Job_queue. It is used to send jobs to worker threads.
css_Job_queue is used to manage jobs. In CUBRID Server, each job is described as a CSS_JOB_ENTRY. The master thread and a connection handler thread (a kind of worker thread) adds a css_job_entry into css_Job_queue. The worker thread which has no job will try to get a css_job_entry from this css_Job_queue. If the worker thread gets a css_job_entry, this thread will execute the request handling function in it.
typedef struct css_job_entry CSS_JOB_ENTRY; struct css_job_entry { int jobq_index; /* job queue index */ CSS_CONN_ENTRY *conn_entry; /* conn entry from which we read request */ CSS_THREAD_FN func; /* request handling function */ CSS_THREAD_ARG arg; /* handling function argument */ CSS_JOB_ENTRY *next; };
static JOB_QUEUE css_Job_queue[CSS_NUM_JOB_QUEUE]
Figure 1-1 illustrates incomplete css_Job_queue structure. css_Job_queue should look like shown in Figure 1-2 as shown below.
#define LK_ISYOUNGER(young_tranid, old_tranid) (young_tranid > old_tranid)
static THREAD_MANAGER thread_Manager; typedef struct thread_manager THREAD_MANAGER; struct thread_manager { THREAD_ENTRY *thread_array; /* thread entry array */ int num_total; int num_workers; int num_daemons; bool initialized; };
