Apollo Robbins:
The art of misdirection
Hailed as the greatest pickpocket in the world, Apollo Robbins studies the quirks of human behavior as he steals your watch. In a hilarious demonstration, Robbins samples the buffet of the TEDGlobal 2013 audience, showing how the flaws in our perception make it possible to swipe a wallet and leave it on its owner's shoulder while they remain clueless.

Mouse's Ear destroyed by early morning fire
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. - An early morning fire has firefighters deeming the Mouse's Ear a complete loss. View photos from the scene | View raw video of the fire
They tell us the fire broke out around 5:00 Thursday morning and as of 8:30, that building was still smoldering.
Firefighters are searching for the cause and they tell us when they arrived, flames were at least 40-feet in the air.
Our crew on the scene says employees are coming by to see what the future may hold for them.
Firefighters tell us this is the second time the exotic sports bar has gone up in flames. They say there was a fire there when the business first opened about 20-years ago.
We'll continue to bring you more on this throughout the day.

After two-and-half hours of hagiography, talking heads, archival footage, still photos, and snatches of his songs, Bob Marley remains elusive in Kevin Macdonald's documentary. Partly because Marley himself doesn't say much except in off-screen interviews, with his gnomic words appearing simultaneously as text on a black screen. But Macdonald does tell a good story: Marley was born the son of a Jamaican teenager and a British philanderer, he endured ostracism in his hometown because of his mixed heritage, discovered music when he and his mother moved to Trenchtown in Kingston, started the Wailers, helped develop reggae out of ska music, struggled for independence against record company owners, adopted the Rastafarian religion, and became, briefly, bigger than the Beatles. Cancer spreading from his big toe did him in in 1982 at the age of 36. Throughout the documentary I was hoping they would play "Redemption Song." They do, and I felt like I understood him a little better.

"Once a Giant, ALWAYS, a Giant."
And your point about play action makes no sense. You claim that we run too much and then you complain that we have no play action because we don't establish the run.
I'm sorry..your post is nonsense. the kid is simply playing lousy right now. We all hope he breaks out of it. (Soon would be nice). But his bad play is no one's fault but his own. This "blame everyone but Eli" rap is nonsense but unfortunately, predictable.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
"Once a Giant, ALWAYS, a Giant."
Eli needs confidence to play well. When he doesn't have it, he starts panicking in the pocket like the old Eli and making rookie mistakes. That's not a slump. His on field mental game is for **** right now.
And its been 5 games now. He actually played poorly in SF but everyone else played well. (There goes your "its everybody else's fault" theory. Lets not forget the pass he threw into a defenders hands in SF at the goal line which should have been returned 100 yards. He's not seeing the field, he has poor pocket presence right now.
I'm sorry...right now he's "skittish"
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
His pocket presence is fine, Diehl allowed 3 sacks alone Sunday. He had a guy grabbing his jersey when he threw second INT for crying out loud. He tried to make a play and it was a poor decision he should have taken the sack.
When you can't do jack **** on offense you have the mindset that you have to make something happen. Unfortunately for us that something was a bad decision.

How you put it together is up to you. If you want to burn 7 or 8 spots on 1st round possibilities, that's on you, but we're talking about the entire 7 rounds. Use some strategery. We'll check back after the draft to see who got the most correct. Here are mine. 1. Fletcher Cox 2. Mark Barron 3. Michael Brockers 4. Peter Konz 5. Kevin Zeitler 6. Amini Silatolu 7.

The IHSAA Executive Committee has approved the recommendations of the realignment committees responsible for placing member schools into sectional groups in six team sports for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years.
Three committees consisting of principals and athletic administrators representing each IHSAA district and class were constructed to realign the sports. The baseball, basketball, softball and volleyball committee along with the soccer committee consisted of 12 individuals while the football committee totaled 15 members.
These committees met during the week of March 14, 2011 and submitted their realignment plans to the Executive Committee for approval on March 25, 2011.
"All three realignment committees were extremely well-prepared and provided valuable input throughout each meeting," commented Commissioner Bobby Cox. "The conscientious attitudes of the committee members were clearly evident in their deliberations. The locations of schools and their proximity to other schools were given the greatest consideration when forming sectional groupings. Secondly, a deliberate effort was made to eliminate five and seven team sectionals where possible. I feel that each group developed an alignment which will serve the membership appropriately and create excitement and interest among our patrons. The IHSAA staff will now begin the process of identifying member schools that are willing to host these important tournament series events."
Proposals and tournament formats will be submitted to the IHSAA Executive Committee for approval in June of 2011 for fall sports, October of 2011 for winter sports and February of 2012 for spring sports.
Also, in recent days, a second member school has indicated it will leave the membership at the end of this school year. White's Jr./Sr. High School in Wabash, has notified Commissioner Bobby Cox of its intention to withdraw from membership following the 2010-11 school year.
With this development, a revised version of the four-class alignment by enrollment has been posted to the IHSAA website and affects the classification of one school. Northeast Dubois, located in Dubois and the smallest 2A school, now becomes a Class A school where it had previously resided. White's did not play football or soccer so the respective five class and two class alignments for those sports remain unchanged.
The IHSAA had issued a revised four-class alignment in a Feb. 22 release following notification that Holy Cross School in Terre Haute would also withdraw from the Association at the end of the school year.
Finally, Guerin Catholic has opted to play up one class in girls soccer, the only school to do so in any sport. The Noblesville school, originally listed as a Class A school in the new two-class format, will now compete in Class 2A, Sectional 17. The school's boys soccer team will compete in Class A. IHSAA By-Law, C-2-3c allows any school to play up one or more classes in any sport for the two-year classification period by notifying the Association Office.
Local baseball, softball, basketball and volleyball sectionals now look like this.
Class 4A Sectional 15 features BNL, Floyd Central, Jeffersonville, Jennings County, New Albany and Seymour.
Class 3A Sectional 30 now features all MSC teams -- Corydon Central, Brownstown, Charlestown, North Harrison, Salem, Scottsburg and Silver Creek.
Class 2A Sectional 46 will feature Clarksville, Crawford County, Eastern Pekin, Henryville, Paoli and Providence.
Class A Sectional 62 features Borden, Christian Academy, Lanesville, New Washington, Rock Creek and South Central.
Class A Sectional 61 features West Washington, Trinity Lutheran, Springs Valley, Orleans, Northeast Dubois, Medora and Crothersville.
There are two classes for boys' soccer.
Class 2A Sectional 30 features Corydon Central, Floyd Central, Jasper, Jeffersonville and New Albany.
Class A Sectional 59 features Salem, Trinity Lutheran, Henryville, Charlestown and Austin.
Class A Sectional 60 features Christian Academy, North Harrison, Providence, Rock Creek and Silver Creek.
The Class 2A sectional is the same for girls' soccer.
In Class A girls' soccer sectionals. Sectional 45 features Charlestown, Christian Academy, Providence, Rising Sun, Silver Creek, Southwestern and Switzerland County.
Class Sectional 46 features Forest Park, Heritage Hills, Northeast Dubois, North Harrison, Salem and South Spencer.
In Football the class 4 A Sectional 8 will feature Floyd Central, BNL, Castle, Evansville North, Jeffersonville, Jennings County and New Albany.
Class 3 A Sectional 23 is Mid Southern Conference heavy. Salem, Brownstown, Corydon, North Harrison, Silver Creek, Charlestown, Heritage Hills and Mitchell.
Class 2A Sectional will feature Triton Central, Paoli, Providence, Lawrenceburg, Eastern (Pekin), Clarksville, Crawford and Monrovia.
Class A Sectional Sectional 38 features West Washington, Indianapolis Lutheran, North Decatur, South Decatur, Edinburg, Milan and Springs Valley.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are honeymooning on safari.
The newlywed couple - who married in front of more than 100 close friends and family at the plush Borgo Egnazia resort in Puglia, Southern Italy, on October 19 - flew by private jet to Tanzania before boarding a helicopter to the Singita Grumeti reserve in the Serengeti Park.
The 31-year-old Like I Love You singer is said to have spent his first few nights as a married man at the luxurious Sasakwa Lodge with his 30-year-old 'Total Recall' star wife, according to the MailOnline.
They are reported to have also stayed at the stunning riverside Faru-Faru Lodges in the same 350,000-acre preserve for a few days before leaving on October 30 by helicopter.
The resort's website reveals that each air-conditioned cottage has a heated infinity-edge pool overlooking "where the land stretches forever".
They are rumoured to have then boarded a private plane to a beach side resort for a few days of relaxation before Jessica begins filming her new movie The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.
Justin is set to make another trip to Africa in the near future because he recently rescheduled a charity trek up Mount Kilimanjaro after being forced to pull out of it in January 2010.
A source said that the singer-turned-actor will join Lupe Fiasco and take part in a star-studded trek up the African peak in the near future.
The source said he will follow in the footsteps of his new wife Jessica by scaling the summit in a bid to bring attention to the problem of unsafe drinking water in developing countries.
The singer previously admitted he was "bummed" after work commitments for his movie Social Network forced him to cancel doing the trek alongside Total Recall actress Jessica two years ago.

text: Just a few quick notes, and I will try to check some more info later. Well, theyve both been competing for 11 seasons (Plushy took 4 years off in the middle for necessary repairs ;-) and have similar (though not the same) success rate. Actually Joubert has competed in a couple more events than Plush. For all of his health problems hes been healthier than Plush. Also, when Joubert began competing the quad was allowed in the SP. It wasnt in Plushys first two seasons, so Brian had more opportunities. I have Plushy at 94 w/o that Finlandia comp. Assuming he landed a quad in the SP and one in the FS that would put him at 96 the number Senorita found. Its very difficult to predict. It would take years to accumulate a large number. A skater would have to stay focused, dedicated and healthy to do that. With the demands of CoP skaing, Im not sure the latter is possible. Time will tell. Some older competitions are on youtube. Some I managed to dig up eyesight reports at various FS boards. I cant land a quad but I can dig up info The number 96 agrees with my data (I will compare yearly numbers later) but the sum of all the yearly numbers is higher than 100 so I think either it is for all competitions, not just international ones, or it is the number of attempts. Oh, well, the search contiunues Yeah, but it doesnt actually say what happened.

Unfortunately this razor has fallen victim of the cell rot.
If you can hand sand the shank with some 400 sandpaper it might reveal the maker, hope it is legible.
What is cell rot?
David - Formerly The BoardSMITH
Now just retired and looking for work
it is caused from celluloid scales.
they emit acid fumes which cause deep pitting on carbon steel blades.
Something in the celluloid (clear seems to be the worst culprit) breaks down over time. you can tell by the localized heavy rust. One thing is well known, that cell rot affects all carbon steel around it, so keep suspected scales apart from other razors till you can remove the aflicted scales.
That looks more like just plain intense rust to me, but it's hard to tell based on that picture. The reason I suggest that is that the scales look to be dyed horn and not celluloid. If it is cell rot, maybe the razor was stored around some kind of celluloid...
Either way, it won't be able to hold a clean edge, because the pitting left over from the rust will put microscopic (and sometimes not so microscopic) holes in the edge.

text: While working in my beeyard yesterday I sensed a change in the "tone" of the yard. I walked over to my Top Bar Hive and realized that there were these huge black bees barging in and out of my hive. I couldn't really tell if my Carniolans were doing battle, but there were seriously not happy, was my impression by the "tone". I ran to my computer and felt that they were robbers. I made the entrances very small, as best as I could, and began swatting away the interlopers, my girls seemed to be happy with what I was doing. Eventually the tone returned to normal and I could see there were no more of the black bees around. What the heck was this? I am in the beginning of my second year, I have one top bar and 4 Langs. What I am reading says it is too early for robbing. Who are these black bees, they were at least twice the size of my girls.

Livarot is one of the oldest cheeses in Normandie, and at the end of the 19th century was reputed to have the highest rate of consumption. The reporters of that epoch wrote about it as "poor man's meat" due to its high nutritional value. The cheese is circled by five bands of rush leaves that prevent the cheese from collapsing during maturing. These five bands are reminiscent of the five stripes a colonel wears on his uniform; it is for this reason the cheese is known as the Colonel. Today these bands are more for show than necessity in production. In fact, industrial dairies replace the rush leaves with bands of green paper. The lovers of this cheese delight in its strong odour and full flavour, with a taste that is perfumed and slightly piquant and spicy. In the course of its maturing, Livarot is coloured reddish/orange with the natural taint of Rocou, a South American plant. This makes the rind smooth and brilliant. Depending on the length of maturing, the humid pate is a golden yellow.

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="JPizzack"]So....we going to a Nets game next year in bk!? lol
(sorry, im just not a big Knicks fan...never been)[/quote]
its weird
im actually excited for bball
i think its in part because it hasn't dragged for the first two months. Im actually doing a fantasy basketball league for 50 bucks if anybody wants in. All pretty much rookies except for like one or two kids maybe
ehhh...im not really, and im not just saying that because im not a huge fan....

I havent been excited for the nba season since like 98. lol
I'm going to TRY to follow better this year....but i won 2 fantasy leagues last year without watching more than like 3 games all season lol...sooooooo

i think its helps that the Knicks have a respectable team and the Nets may land Dwight and Dwill - could be huge
Word is that the Knicks have nothing to offer in return. Paul wants to play in NY but they have no way of getting him there.
[/quote]
All he has to do is play this year in NO and he will be a free agent. Even if NO trades him he doesn't have to resign with the team that gets him. The Knicks are only giving out 1 year contracts this year to make sure they have all the room they need. I hope it doesn't happen but I bet it will.

[Article]-Review: Penetration Testing with BackTrack by Offensive Security Part 3
Permanent link: [Article]-Review: Penetration Testing with BackTrack by Offensive Security Part 3
Ryan Linn continues his insiders look at Offensive Security's online training in Part 3 of this continuing review of 'Pentesting with BackTrack.' As a reminder, PWB is described by Offensive Security as, "An online course designed for network administrators and security professionals who need to get acquainted with the world of offensive security. This penetration testing course introduces the latest hacking tools and techniques, and includes remote live labs for exercising the material presented to the students. This course gives a solid understanding of the penetration testing process, and is equally important for those wanting to either defend or attack their network. The course can be taken from your home, as long as you have a modern computer with high speed internet."
Ryan will wrap things up in Part 4 of this new format of reviewing courses. EH-Net normally completes an entire course before publishing any content in a review article. So far, the Community seems to be enjoying it. Maybe this is yet another new trend that shall continue as we head full steam into 2010.

Stunning Fall from Grace for Former High-Level U.S. Government Official; Law Enforcement Probes of Chevron in Two Countries
QUITO, Ecuador--Chevron's curt announcement last week that former general counsel Charles James is set to retire is due largely to his mishandling of the oil giant's "legal and public relations disaster" over a potential $27 billion environmental liability in Ecuador, representatives of the Amazon Defense Coalition (ADC) said today.
The departure of James, known as a hard-right ideologue who worked in the Department of Justice under John Ashcroft, follows the surprise retirement of CEO David O'Reilly last year. Both James and O'Reilly were running the Ecuador legal case when it ballooned into a major public relations disaster and a potential $27 billion liability that threatens to eat up one-fifth of Chevron's market value.
During his tenure, James ran into numerous problems with law enforcement authorities. In 2007, Chevron was forced to pay a $30 million fine to the U.S. Department of Justice because of a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in Iraq. The company also was rebuked by the U.S. Department of the Interior for failing to cooperate with a corruption probe involving Chevron employees. Separately, two Chevron lawyers working closely with James on the Ecuador case were indicted for lying about the results of a purported environmental clean-up.
James also is being investigated by Ecuador's national prosecutor after he and other Chevron lawyers engineered a "sting" operation against an Ecuadorian judge to undermine and delay the environmental trial. The man who conducted the sting had ties to Chevron and was caught on tape offering a bribe.
James, 56, is taking an adjunct faculty position at the law school of Arizona State University. In an interview, he said he planned to focus on charitable work and tinkering with his motorcycles; Chevron's press release on the departure was only three paragraphs compared to nine when he was hired amid great fanfare in 2004.
Representatives of the ADC, which is suing Chevron in Ecuador for the deliberate dumping of billions of gallons of toxic waste onto their ancestral lands in the rainforest, called the departure of James a "stunning fall from grace."
"Charles James masterminded a legal and public relations strategy for Chevron in Ecuador to hide contamination that is destroying lives, decimating indigenous culture, and devastating the company's reputation globally," said Pablo Fajardo, the lead lawyer in the case for the plaintiffs in Ecuador and the winner of the Goldman Environmental Prize, considered the "Nobel" of the environment.
"James created a culture of permissiveness and excessive risk-taking that permeates Chevron's legal department to this day," he added.
The plaintiffs filed the class action lawsuit in U.S. federal court in 1993, alleging that Texaco deliberately discharged more than 18 billion gallons of "production water" into the rainforest to cut costs when it operated a large oil concession from 1964 to 1990. Chevron purchased Texaco in 2001 for $31 billion.
Texaco and then Chevron had argued in the U.S. court that the case should be tried in Ecuador, submitting 14 sworn affidavits praising the fairness and competency of that country's courts. Chevron also stipulated that it would submit to jurisdiction and abide by any judgment in Ecuador.
As a result of Chevron's representations, the case was transferred to Ecuador where a trial began in 2003 that produced evidence that quickly pointed to the oil giant's culpability.
Given the troubling evidence, James abdicated on Chevron's earlier promises to the U.S. court and hired six public relations firms and numerous lobbyists to discredit Ecuador's judicial system. Chevron also lobbied the U.S. government to cancel Ecuador's trade preferences as punishment for letting its own citizens sue Chevron in their courts, despite Chevron's earlier promise that it wanted the trial in Ecuador.
Chevron's lobbying failed to cancel the trade preferences, but not before 26 congressmen signed a letter protesting the strategy. Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) accused the oil giant of "extortion."
In addition to losing control of the Ecuador trial, James has entangled Chevron in a series of embarrassing situations that have angered institutional shareholders. Among his questionable calls:
* Chevron in 2004 launched what turned out to be a fruitless three-year litigation odyssey to force Ecuador's government to pay for the Ecuador clean-up. In a stunning rebuke, a New York federal judge rejected Chevron's bid. An appeals court affirmed the decision and the U.S. Supreme Court denied Chevron's petition for review.
* In 2008, after refusing multiple opportunities to settle the case, Chevron was hit with a damages assessment in Ecuador's court for $27.3 billion. The company had to stave off virtual shareholder revolts over the liability at the last two annual meetings.
* In July 2009, James suffered another setback when Chevron voluntarily withdrew a claim before a U.S. federal court that its legal release – secured by fraud, according to the plaintiffs – absolved of it all clean-up responsibility. Chevron apparently was worried it would lose in a U.S. court where it could not claim it was the victim of bias.
* In Ecuador, James oversaw a bungled legal strategy where the company's local counsel produced soil samples that demonstrated the existence of high levels of contamination at former Texaco sites – essentially proving the claims of the communities, according to a court-appointed independent Special Master.
* James' strategy also caused severe damage to Chevron's brand. Despite hiring large public relations firms such as Hill & Knowlton and Edelman Worldwide, Chevron was embarrassed repeatedly last year with unflattering reports on the Ecuador issue on 60 Minutes and in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Politico and in various oil industry trade publications.
"Charles James is a formidable adversary but he led Chevron down a path of unnecessary confrontation," said Steven Donziger, a U.S. legal advisor to the plaintiffs. "His ideological blinders distorted his judgment and played into the hands of the rainforest communities. No amount of Chevron spin can cover up the humanitarian catastrophe in Ecuador due to the company's failure to take responsibility for its actions."
Fajardo added: "It appeared to me that James grossly underestimated the determination of thousands of Ecuadorians and as a result Chevron shareholders face legal risks that no other oil major in the world has on its books."
"These risks, and the human suffering in Ecuador's rainforest, will define the legacy of James," Fajardo added.

APCNews – Februrary 13 2009 – Year X Issue 94
The news service on ICTs for social justice and sustainable development
Here at APC over the past couple of years we've been looking into how activists particularly in developing countries are using social networking tools (see http://www.apc.org/en/projects/strategic/all/web-2-0-tools-development). This week colleagues of ours in India surprised us by joining a Facebook group called A Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=49641698651). The group turns out to be a witty campaign against an ultra-conservative organisation that has condemned Valentine's Day and the growing tendency of young Indians to go to pubs and clubs as a pro-Western conspiracy. Has social networking come of age in urban India? Will the "friends" of "Pub-going [..] Women" step out of the virtual world and stand up for the real cause on February 14th? We'll be waiting to find out and in the meantime we talk the Third World Institute about their experience as an NGO starting to use Facebook to promote social change.
Choike, a different kind of Facebook "friend"
Facebook is not just a way to get back in touch with old classmates from school or see what your "friends" are up to. Activists around the world are taking advantage of this new virtual space to expand their reach and establish more immediate and interactive contact with individuals and organisations from an ever wider range of backgrounds. ITeM, an APC member in Uruguay, talked with APCNoticias about how it is using this web-based tool, and shared some practical advice for others who are experimenting with social networks and other Web 2.0 tools.
APC's latest annual report now available to millions in India and Pakistan
MONTEVIDEO (KAH for APCNews) – Back in 2007, when APC members and staff got together to translate and print the APC internet rights charter in twenty languages, campaigners in Asian countries in particular pointed out that information about information and communications technologies (ICT) is usually only available in English. "In Pakistan, not even the government provides basic ICT policy information in Urdu," Bytes for All's Shahzad Ahmad told APC. Now APC's latest annual report is available in Urdu, a language spoken by 265 million people. Shahzad Ahmad talked to APCNews about the importance of this publication in his part of the world.
Radio France International talks to Tanzanian rural telecentre pioneer
MONTEVIDEO (LC for APCNews) – The Family Alliance for Development and Cooperation (FADECO) has come a long way since 1993, when Joseph Sekiku and friends formed an alliance to help overcome poverty in north-western Tanzania. Starting as a network of people sharing an internet connection, the small telecentre eventually became a computer literacy training station, an internet café, and has expanded to an informative radio station reaching two million listeners, many of whom are farmers. Radio France International interviewed Joseph after his story was featured in an APC study called Unbounded possibilities: Observations on sustaining rural ICTs. Listen to the interview (off-site).
APC job vacancy: Assistant to the executive director and grant administrator
JOHANNESBURG (APC for APC) – APC is looking for a bright, energetic person who can assist our executive director and provide strong liaison with the organisations who finance our work. The successful candidate will like to write, enjoy working in an international team online, and will play a real role in the future sustainability of the APC, one of the longest running online networks for social justice in the world. Deadline for applications is February 20.

I don't know the game like many on the board here, but never have I watched him and was like, yea, we need him for near max money. Hes been in losing teams except for when he was a quasi 3rd man on a deep Denver team. He is not the savior. As KGREG says and I agree. We need a stud wing to make this ship upright. Iggy is not s stud. Good yes. Stud no. I still think Joe should look around the league at the unhappy players (KLOVE?) and offer them the moon. Monore, Stuckey, #1 for Love. Throw in a pick or take back a bad contract. This is how we get a super star to the D. Not signing has beens or never was.

great hosts and wonderful apartment. everything was wonderful.
Perfect! A beautiful apartment with balcony in the sunset, where we could enjoy a glass of wine each evening, a not too long walk to a sandy beach without rocks and algae, but with wonderful waves, an ideal starting point for car trips in all directions of the island and a incredibly friendly and helpful host who was always easily accessible, have transformed our two-week vacation into an unforgettable experience. Thank you!

The first of the off-water battles in 2013 has begun in the America's Cup, with Team New Zealand and Oracle in an unofficial race to get back on the water.
Emirates Team New Zealand are in the process of commissioning their second AC72 after taking delivery of the hulls from Cookson Boatyard this week, while Oracle are close to returning their first boat to the water after USA-17 suffered extensive damage when it capsized in San Francisco Bay in October.
Oracle will be eager to get their testing programme back under way before the Kiwis launch boat two.
Team New Zealand managing director Grant Dalton admitted the thought of trying to upstage the cup defenders by launching their new boat - NZL5 - first had crossed his mind. The rules prevent the syndicates from launching a second boat before February 1, and Team New Zealand are hopeful of getting their boat in the water soon after that date - about the same time Oracle are scheduled to be back in action in their patched-up catamaran.
"From a PR point of view I think [Oracle] will be quite conscious of getting their boat one sailing again before we put this one in," said Dalton, gesturing towards the giant frame of their AC72, which is being housed in specially constructed tents at their Halsey St base.
Regardless of which team takes to the water first, given the difficulties and setbacks their rivals have experienced, Team New Zealand will take a great deal of satisfaction from having kept their testing programme to schedule.
With Oracle and Swedish team Artemis not expected to launch their second boats until March or April, the Kiwi team are keen to keep their new toy under wraps for as long as possible.
Media visiting the base yesterday were given a full look at the new hulls of AC72 as up to 25 crew and boat building staff worked to piece the boat together. But photographers were restricted on what angles they were allowed to take shots from, with Team New Zealand conscious their rivals will be closely analysing any pictures or footage.
"In the end, both Oracle and Artemis have settled on their second boat, they will both be well in build, I would expect," said Dalton. "But we know when Oracle first launched their boat, we looked at a few things and thought 'wow that's smart' and incorporated those kind of concepts into this boat, so I don't want to give them any more lead time than we have to."
Team New Zealand technical director Nick Holroyd said most of the changes to the boat are operational or "under the skin".
Holroyd's desk in the design office is next to skipper Dean Barker to ensure there is a constant dialogue between the sail and design teams.
"One thing that became incredibly apparent very quickly sailing the other boat is being able to handle the boat easily when you're pushing it really hard, at times this can mean a couple of knots difference in boatspeed. So a lot of the design objectives were to simplify that a wee bit," said Holroyd.
Given the tight timeframe the teams have been working under and the size of the project, the design for NZL5 was handed over to the boat builder only five days into Team New Zealand's testing programme for boat one.
But Holroyd said they were still able to incorporate all their learnings from their 30-day sail period into the design of the second boat.
By day five the team had already confirmed the ability to make boats of that scale foil, which allowed designers to change direction with the shape of the hulls in boat two.
"Obviously the hulls are getting used a lot more upwind now than it is downwind, because of the foiling, so we've just been able to bias the performance characteristics of the hull a little bit, which leads to net gains around the course."
Holroyd said as they got further into the testing process with boat one, they were able to go back to the boat builders with a couple of revisions to the design. "They've been incredibly accommodating of us changing along the way," he said.
After launching boat one to much fanfare in July last year, Team New Zealand will hold a more modest launch this time around, with much of the team's energies focused on doing the business in San Francisco.
Dalton said now the calendar has flicked over to 2013, there is a noticeable step up in intensity around the base.
"Suddenly all our conversations in the meetings are now talking about this year, not next year, so everything is really starting to happen," he said.
New delivery
• NZL5 is Team New Zealand's second AC72, which will take the startline in San Francisco this year in the Louis Vuitton Challenger Series.
• More than 40,000 man hours went into the building of the giant wing-sailed catamaran.
• The job now is to piece it together then fit it out with all of the complex systems and get it out on the water in the next few weeks to be load tested, tuned and resume the sailing programme to get it up to speed in final preparations before shipping it to San Francisco.

haha and Mets lose!!!
I told you Brewers smell blood!! They want to take it!
Mets = choke artist
and Omar has a 4 year contract extension.
1). I think maybe it a year too much
2). Wouldn't it have been better to wait and see if they actually make it to the post season, then give him the extension? Instead they announce it with a few games left and everything up in the air.
Anywho, these next 2 games are do or die..

Nice, comfortable and clean apartment.
We came by car and we appreciated being able to leave his parking space safely. So we took the bus stop is close to the historic center of Rome by public transport.
Bel appartement confortable et propre.
Nous sommes venus en voiture et nous avons apprécié de pouvoir la laisser à sa place de parking en toute sécurité. Ainsi nous avons profité que l'arrêt de bus soit tout proche pour rejoindre le centre historique de Rome par les transports en communs.
Thanks Luigi, the department really cute, very friendly your attention, I hope you were able to solve the problem of leadership.
Back, a warm greeting.
Gracias Luigi, muy lindo el departamento, muy amable tu atención, espero hayas podido resolver el problema de la direccion.
Volveremos, un saludo afectuoso.
Luigi and his father are very welcoming. The apartment is very clean, quiet and very well equipped. All handy shops are nearby. A fairly well-served bus route runs right next to the apartment, the bus stops a few steps from an underground station, which is essential to get to the center of Rome.
Luigi et son père sont vraiment très accueillants. L'appartement est très propre, calme et très bien équipé. Tous commerces bien pratiques sont à proximité. Une ligne de bus assez bien desservie passe juste à côté de l'appartement, cette ligne de bus s'arrête à quelques pas d'une station de métro, indispensable pour se rendre dans le centre de Rome.
Our host Luigi was very helpful and hospitable person. He gave us a map of Rome and good advice how to use local transport to reach the city center. The apartment was great, it was well equipped and has a beautiful view over the surrounding area. There is a peaceful parking place for a car in a courtyard and nice local shops in the neighborhood. We would be happy to recommend the apartment for anyone who wants to stay few days in Rome.
Very good and nice, cozy apartment near the public transport and the historic center is easily accessible. Everything was exactly as stated in the description, and the parking was excellent, and the owners were extremely friendly and helpful. We felt like at home and can only sincerely recommend this apartment! Many thanks to Luigi and see you soon again.
Sehr gute und schöne, gemütliche Wohnung in der Nähe der öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel, das historische Zentrum ist sehr gut erreichbar. Alles entsprach genau den Angaben in der Beschreibung, auch die Parkmöglichkeit war hervorragend, und die Besitzer waren äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir fühlten uns wie zu Hause und können die Wohnung nur herzlichst weiterempfehlen! Vielen Dank an Luigi und vielleicht bis bald wieder.
Thanks, thanks, and thanks again. We had a great time, it is recommendable to those who want to visit the center of Rome, as it is well connected by public transport and is to those who may have to take exams at the University Nicholas of Cusa, as is a 10 'walk. All the qualities described by the owner is true and you feel at home.
Maria Rosaria from Taranto
Grazie, grazie, e ancora grazie. Ci siamo trovati benissimo, è da consigliare sia a chi volesse visitare il centro di Roma, poichè è collegata bene con i mezzi pubblici e sia a chi magari debba sostenere esami all'università Niccolò Cusano, in quanto dista 10' a piedi. Tutte le qualità descritte dal proprietario corrispondono al vero e ti senti a casa.

El edificio tipo Toulouse que nos gustó mucho. El apartamento muy bien, funcional, pero agradable. Nuevo, bien, bien, como en la foto. Todo nuevo. Pierre es una persona educada, gentil, todo amabilidad. Lo recomendaré. Céntrico y cerca de estación para viajes alrededor. Lo único, por poner algo, la conexión wifi. Todo lo demás, repito, magnífico. Y la ciudad también. Gracias.

The apartment is located in a very nice area, its good for 2 people (a bit small for more than 2, is more like a big "hotel room" with a kitchen, but right downstairs you can find restaurants coffee shops and many things right at your doorstep, walking distance to everywhere you need to go to discover downtown, and even the river is not far if you want to go for a run in the morning. Flexible key delivery and pickup, good communication with the host. We had a good stay, thanks Pierre.
I had a very good stay. Pierre was very helpful with finding the house in the street and getting the internet working after an update. the studio is in a very nice neighbourhood. Definitely I would stay there again.
Really nice studio in the centre. Nice, clean and cosy.
It's a nice apartment, but it is only for 1 person really comfortable. 15m² are less than we have imagined when we were booking the apartment. Nevertheless the apartment is placed in a good location and from there we could reach everything by walking.
The furnitures have a good quality and are very functional, as well comfortable.
Pierre has explained properly all the functions of the different devices in his apartment and he gave us a rough overview of interesting places in Toulouse including a map.
very cute studio with pretty furnitures and setup.
Pierre was so kind, he drove us to the train station both times, sent us a list of good restaurants. He was very helpful and nice.
The studio is located in conveninet place,
This apartment is very well furnished, centrally located and Pierre is a very nice and attentive host. It was perfectly clean and could be the ideal getaway for one or two guests. Not suitable for children or people with sleeping problems, though, as it is located in an extremely lively area.
I liked this apartment a lot it had everything you needed and was also perfect for longer stays. It was located in a peaceful and quiet area and had a beautiful view. In addition, there was two large grocery stores nearby. Plus The host Pierre was very nice and helpful.
The house is very pretty and functional and the position is excellent,very central!

How lovely! I'm looking for something in pink for my daughter.
It's so soft and pretty! I can see why you're obsessed.
A dog is not "almost human" and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to describe it as such.
Very nice! Soft beautiful colors. Great job for doing it so quickly!
Sweet quilt - so nice!

Long Island Updated and Re-Imagined
Hotel Indigo East End • Riverhead, NY
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Standard Room, Fridays and Saturdays or Saturdays and Sundays
- One Guided Indigo Uncorked Tour for Two with Tastings at Three Wineries and Distilleries with Transportation Included
- $50 Dining Credit at Bistro 72
The Destination
Think of East End Long Island like a fork: The Peconic Bay divides the land into two prongs—the North Fork and the Hamptons. And at the split, straddling the mouth of the Peconic River, lies aptly named Riverhead, New York. The historic town serves as a gateway to the thriving, unpretentious North Fork wine region as well as the posh boutiques and beaches of Quogue and Southampton. The community's laid-back pace and simple style are evident at the marina, public beach, and farm stands around which life here revolves.
The Digs
Bright hues are the hallmark of funky Hotel Indigo East End. Modern murals and blonde-wood furniture deck out each room, all of which offer queen or double beds, flat-screen TVs, and Wi-Fi. Spa-style bathrooms are stocked with Aveda products, and the hotel offers guests access to an on-site fitness center and a menu of massages. Bistro 72 serves up farm-fresh, seasonal dishes as part of a commitment to locally sourced cuisine. Grab a table in the dining room or savor a meal on the patio—a toasty fire in the hearth can warm up chilly evenings. The bistro also hosts live performances by local musicians on the weekends.
The Diversions
• Tanger Outlets Riverhead
• Sparkling Pointe Winery
• Greenpoint Harbor Brewing Co.
• South Jamesport Beach
• Live At The Indigo Jazz Performances
"The North Fork contains the majority of Long Island's vineyards, which in short order have begun producing some world-class wines, all in a laid-back setting that has its roots in fishing and whaling communities."-- Frommer's

The house is very nice. A very comfortable room, clean and quiet. Located in a quiet street very close to the access to the metro and bus, near the center, ideal for a few days in the city. His host is a very friendly person and he helped us in whatever we asked for our estacia. Would definitely repeat again in this house, highly recommended if you are looking for a room well located and where you can rest quietly after an intense day in the city.
The room is cozy and nice, with a little fridge, kettle and your own little bathroom. The neighborhood is very quiet and the metro is within walking distance (around 5 to 10 min). It only takes about 40min to go into downtown London. Fantastic place to spend a weekend for exploring London. Bobby is a great host and all went well with handing over the keys. Thank you very much!
We stayed four days at Bobby's house. It was a nice and quiet stance. Bobby was always available for any enquire and he took care of us. He was very pleasant and discreet. The flat was just a 10 minute walk to Kilburn Road, the main road, which had many shops and restaurants. We also could arrive at the heart of London in 30 minutes. We highly recommend this flat.
+ Good location (not far from public transport). Quiet, so we had a good nights sleep. Good beds. Towels and everything a hotelroom would give (including magnetron, cooker, little fridge etc.). - We did not meet our host, which made it more like a hotel without reception (we got the key from a locked box). Tiny room, run down carpet.
I stayed at Bobby's house only for 1 night. It was a good experience because the bedroom was spacious and there was tea and coffee in our room to have breakfast.
It is near a street where there are some restaurants and supermarkets. It is also a bus stop near so although it is not near the center of London, you can take a bus to go there.
The carpet was a bit dirty but our stay was right. Bobby was friendly and polite with us.
Booby was very nice and accommodating ! The room was very comfortable but some shower gel was missing... Very quiet neighborhood and typical London view.
The room was very quiet, with small pleasent view to the backyard garden, lovely sunn for breakfast. . The room was just as expected having experiences with travelling in the UK. The fire alarm works by the way :-) We were left to ourself just as we wished and Bobby was very helpfull with finding places to eat, shortest way from the airport and very understanding when my flight was massively delayed. He even offered to bring me to the station. Thanks Bobby
We had an absolutely pleasent stay at Bobby's place. The House is nice in a quiet region, the room is nice and clean.
It just takes about 10 minutes walk to get to the next tube station for Bakerloo line. Therefore, it's very easy to get to central London in about 20 minutes.
A good location for having breakfast is a nice cafe closed to that station Queen's park, excellent coffee and food.
Booby is a are very welcoming and kind host, all was found as promised and agreed. Thank you very much. We would be happy to stay there again and definitly recommend this room!
Ulrich and Carlota.

Play-By-Playmate: 'Round The Horn
In this week's Play-By-Playmate, Jaime looks back at the big sports week that was.
I haven't tried this before, but with all the stories coming out of the sports world recently I felt it was time to do a little 'round the horn and recap the week that was. So without further ado:
The Dolph-Wins
Well, my Dolphins continued their winning ways on Sunday moving to 4-8 on the season, but I haven't lost faith in my plans for an empire. I'm not so hopeful that Miami will fall off sufficiently down the stretch to wrangle Andrew Luck in the draft and not so foolish to think they'll make playoffs, but I've reevaluated my rebuilding process based on a little red-haired QB from Cincinnati. Andy Dalton is a perfect example of an under-valued, draft day QB having a great season and even challenging the number one pick (Cam Newton) for offensive rookie of the year. He gives me hope that Stephen Ross might be able to look further down the list in April and build a team around a QB like Robert Griffin from Baylor and get results similar to Dalton and the Bengals. Griffin has all the skills and flash an owner like Ross loves, so this might work. I'm wishin' for Griffin.
The Perfect Pack
Meanwhile in opposite parts of the country, the Packers are still undefeated but the Giants gave them a run for their money on Sunday. This was the smallest margin Green Bay has won by all season and closest anyone has come to upsetting their perfection, which if you will recall New York has a habit of doing, first against the Broncos in '98 and then the Patriots in the '07 Super Bowl. Now, I have nothing against the Pack. Maybe it's Clay Matthews' long, glorious blond locks or Aaron Rodgers' State Farm Discount Double Check commercial but the team doesn't annoy me the way, say, the Patriots do. I have no problem with the Packers repeating but they have to lose at least one game before seasons end because I don't like the idea of anyone standing amid perfection with my '72 Dolphins.
Tiger's Ten
Tiger Woods shot a -3 on the final day of the Chevron World Challenge to land at -10 and win his first tournament in two years, three weeks and 26 tries. It's good to see Tiger win. His philandering aside, the man is a very talented athlete who is good for the game. Except in dire circumstances, we should be able to separate professional from personal life. He's lost a lot over the past few years in both aspects of his life, and I think it's time we all put this behind us and hopefully this win does that for him.
More Miami Winning
I got more good news from Miami when I woke up this morning and noticed Marlins' outfielder Logan Morrison's tweet which simply read "Jose! Jose, Jose, Jose!" which I then began singing in the soccer-style chant. To kick off a new season, with a new stadium and new uniforms (which I regretfully add, might be the most heinous in all of sports) they'll also have a new shortstop in Jose Reyes. The price, six years at a $106M might be a little steep, but it shows the new Marlins are ready to play with the big boys and contend in 2012. They might even be able to entice Albert Pujols which would give them a formidable top and middle of the order to back-up a strong, young rotation. Marlins fans have waited a long time to stand behind their team again and I think the owners have definitely given them a reason to coming into the 2012 season.
The Last of the Lockout
David Stern and the Players Association got NBA fans the best Christmas gift they could think of this year with a settling of the lockout and a shortened season scheduled to begin on December 25th. Fans will literally get the NBA for Christmas with staple match-ups like Celtics/Knicks, Bulls/Lakers, Magic/Thunder and Mavericks/Heat. If Miami were playing at the home game I would definitely be there on Christmas Day. As for the team that will benefit the most from a shortened season, I'd say the Bulls. Not because of their youth or MVP caliber talent, but because no other team will be able to beat their franchise record of 72 wins, because they only have 66 games to play.

This solution may well work for your set-up, but
it is not the most general solution. Next time
you have an unbalanced panel, no such trick
is guaranteed to work. A secondary disadvantage
is that unless you add a comment to your
do or log files, the rationale for this approach
will be increasingly difficult to remember.
Another approach is as follows:
gen real = exch if year == 2000
bysort id (real) : replace real = real[1]
^^^^ ^^^^
The logic of this is very Stataish.
In the first statement, we ensure that
only values for 2000 are used. For
years other than 2000, -real- is thus set
to missing.
Thus after
bysort id (real):
the data will look somewhat like this:
id year real
Australia 2000 whatever
Australia 1992 .
Australia 1994 .
Australia 2002 .
Austria 2000 something else
Austria 1999 .
Austria 1989 .
so that
replace real = real[1]
will then copy values downward within
each panel. Also, if any panel
does not include values for 2000, then all
values of -real- will end up missing for
that panel.
There is some database jargon for this process
of "spreading" a value to an appropriate subset
of the data. Perhaps it is "spreading", but I've
forgotten what it is. Anyway, a database expert on this
list may be able to remind me.
I figured it [...]
I sorted by id and then subscripted my exchange rate
for the 11th obvservation, which is the year 2000 in
my case:
by id: gen real=exch[11]
As far as I can tell, it worked.

FYI the concert was actually better than expected. Jay was solo all night which was cool, because that means there werent 10 hype men on stage screaming his lyrics lmao.
cool things: The ROC Boys played guitar, drums and Piano all night for him, and did a few cool solos, and i was actually REALLY impressed.
Timbaland DJ'd the whole show, and even did a few of his own tracks mixed in occasionally which i thought was cool.

How careful must one be when removing the larva from the queenless hive, meaning, will introducing queen grafts still work okay if I overlook a couple eggs / young larva on a frame or two? I try to remove most of the frames that have eggs and young larva, but it seems quite a feat to get them ALL... or is that just the way it is? This is my first time grafting. I'm doing it mostly for the experience.

I don't expect this Thread to last long but wow!!!
time for major changes...
we need AB Discipline and if I was Cash, who I hope gets replaced, I would start building up a strong Rotation and Pen.
I also have a gut feeling that the Captain might ride off in the sunset with Mo at Season's end as well.
I don't remember the details of the 80s, just that the Mets were amazing. For some reason I stayed with the Pinstripes during that time and as many of you remember the 90s were like a gift to us.
But this generation of the Yankees, except for the Title in 2009, is just sub-standard and pathetic. The BS red Sox manage to stay relevant, fake *** Rays stay relevant and the O's are scrappy but us? Pathetic.
RISP is crap as "usual," At-Bat discipline is ragged and Nunez sucks and Wells shouldn't be put anywhere in the Outfield...
