As the first Brazilian to truly become a global skate superstar, Bob opened the doors for an entire country. Along the way—Bob's skating itself, on nearly every terrain imaginable (and in every stance) since his recruitment to Antihero in '96—has seemingly followed only a single constant, changing what is deemed possible on a skateboard. From the Hellride crew to the Mega ramp, here is the story of Bob.
This is the full interview text from Bob's Pioneer Column in our December 2012 Issue.
Intro by Julien Stranger:
"For a long time he was just one of us, Hellriding, crusting around being a skate rat. Those were some great times for all of us for sure. I still hate the way things happened at the end of him riding for Antihero. That was complete bullshit. And I know he was pretty disappointed in us for not following him out the door. We'll never know what might have happened. Bob had real responsibility with his sister and mom and I understand why he wanted to move down south and pursue some more commercial opportunities. I guess for me personally and in our friendship—both of us are pretty sincere dudes and that was kind of our connection aside from the skating. Northern California skaters were generally really sarcastic and just full time hecklers so for me it was nice to hang out with someone without the constant bullshit.
I gotta say too that going to some of those bigger vert contests in the 90's and being in the stands and just screaming for Bob, a dude who I was on the same team with and who was just mopping up everyone switch, and who for me was the most exciting skater out there at the time, that stoked the shit outta me and all of us on the Hellride. He was always so on edge and he still is and I still get stoked."
ME: When did you pick up a skateboard? First contact?
Bob: Well, as a Brazilian guy I played soccer. I had let my friend borrow a soccer ball and he had lost it. So he was like, "Well, I don't have the ball anymore but you can take my skateboard." So that was basically how it started.
Your dad was American right?
Yeah. He was born in Taft, California. My mom was Brazilian.
Did you travel to the States as a kid?
A little bit. I went to Kindergarten in Pleasanton, and then we came back to Brazil. We were moving around a lot when I was younger.
Had anyone you knew from Brazil made it before in the US? Lincoln Ueda?
There were definitely a few guys that came before me that we knew about. Lincoln (Ueda) was the first one to break the top 5 in US contests back in '89. That was huge. I remember that clearly. When we saw one of our own like Lincoln, and the other International skaters actually make it, we started to actually start believing it in Brazil. I was in a cab or something and saw it in a mag. I was so stoked. Brazilians were getting more and more respect. They had a hard time in the beginning because of all the bootleg brands here in Brazil too. By the time I started making my story, there were just more and more of us gaining respect.
I feel like the first wave of Brazilians got pigeonholed as contest skaters too. You sort of became the first guy that was on a cool company (Antihero) and the media treated you like a US pro.
There were definitely different phases to it for sure. The evolution of Brazilian skateboarding—where it's at now—I never thought it would be possible.

Was your first sponsor a local brand in Brazil?
My first ever sponsor was a Brazilian clothing brand called "Angular Moments." I was with a buddy of mine in the park skating a miniramp and they came and told us we could get free clothes.
First board sponsor?
My first pro board was an Urgh! Board. They are the shoe company that just collaborated with me. They are an old brand in Brazil and the owner and holder of the brand is a partner of mine here in Brazil. The board had my name "Bob" on it with this little drawing. They made the kneepads Lincoln and all those guys wore back in '89 too. Urgh! Has been around for almost 30 years.
How did you get from Urgh! to the US brands? Was it mostly people traveling down there?
Obviously from speaking English and Portuguese, when skaters came to town and showed up at the park I skated I was able to talk to them and translate for other people. So when Joey Tershay, (John) Cardiel, Julien (Stranger), and Jake (Phelps) and those guys came down to Brazil, I interacted with them and skated all the different spots with them. That was basically how I connected to the crew up in SF. So when I went to the US after that, I spent time in San Francisco. That was pretty much how I broke into the scene. I was already pro in Brazil and then became an am for Real. That was a trip because I would go home and skate in the pro contests then be an am in The States.
I finally went to this Vancouver contest and Urgh! had helped pay for my ticket along with Deluxe helping me as a Real am. This was before Antihero. I remember I had an Antihero shirt that Julien had made but the board brand wasn't launched yet. So I rode for Real and connected with all those Deluxe guys. That was when I kind of broke out of the Brazilian scene right there.
They swept you up in the Hellride?
Yeah. Exactly. But even before any of that I really remember when Christian (Hosoi) came down too. He came down and skated the outdoor bowl and all that. Any time the American skaters came down, I was in the scene so I would end up interacting with them. I remember Mark Gonzales came down too for one of the contests. I got to hang out with him and he gave me a board. I was super stoked. I think he gave me his kneepads too which was awesome. But Christian was pretty much the pioneer of pros coming to Brazil. Christian loved it here and he was always down here. It made such an impact on the scene to have this huge legend in your country.

Allegheny County police union cool to park rangers plan
A proposal to replace police officers in Allegheny County parks with rangers will complicate contract negotiations, the head of the officers union said on Thursday.
County Executive Rich Fitzgerald shared the proposal with county police officers last week and intends to include it in his budget proposal this year.
"This would have an impact on negotiations," said Detective Richard Usner, president of the Allegheny County Police Association. "It changes the way job selection for officers is done if officers in the parks are reallocated."
Fitzgerald did not think the proposal would affect contract negotiations and said the two are not connected.
Police officers are split on the proposal, Usner said.
County police officers choose where they are stationed and patrol based on seniority. They're based at Pittsburgh International Airport and park stations in North Park and South Park, which officers use as bases to patrol all nine county parks. The park spots are the most sought-after, Usner said. Selections for next year's posts will start in October.
The police union officials released a statement on Thursday that said they would be "reserving our direct support of (Fitzgerald's) plan pending more information and completion of collective bargaining over the proposal."
About 44 officers work in the parks and 75 to 80 work at the airport, Usner said. Fewer than 50 officers work in the department's investigative units handling investigations of homicides, drug-related offenses, rapes, robberies and other serious crimes for municipal police forces.
Police Superintendent Charles Moffatt appoints officers to the investigative units.
Usner would not say how the union might use the proposal during negotiations. The officers' four-year contract expires at the end of the year. Negotiations started recently, Usner said.
Replacing park officers with rangers would not result in layoffs, Fitzgerald said. The proposal would re-allocate park officers to investigative duties. The county spend between $500,000 to $1 million to hire rangers.
Unlike county police, rangers would not be armed and would not have arrest powers.
James Craft, a professor of business administration at the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Graduate School of Business, said Fitzgerald speaking publicly about the proposal and mustering support for it will strengthen his position in the negotiations. Persuading Fitzgerald to take the park rangers proposal off the table could cost the union other provisions it might want, such as increases to wages and benefits.
"It creates a forceful position that the county executive might use," Craft said. "If the union doesn't want to do that, this is when they will give something up. If they want the management side to give up on it, they are going to cede more."
Fitzgerald said that is not the case.

Bonk is an audio compression program that can operate in either lossy or lossless mode. In lossy mode, it achieves around 14:1 compression while remaining perceptually lossless; equivalent to around 95 kbps for CD quality stereo. In lossless mode, which allows exact recovery of the original audio file, the compression ratio is typically around 2:1. The compressed files are stored in a new format based on speech compression techniques. Compressed files can then be converted back to an uncompressed format or played back in real time.

Belinda From Biloxi - Poem by James Bredin
I saw Belinda from Biloxi three or four seats ahead,
With her red hair still piled high on top of her head,
As the subway shuddered onward she seemed so much at ease,
And just like twenty years ago she always showed her knees.
Her skin was fair and freckled and she had that haughty air,
Of someone who caught a millionaire and was barely aware,
Of the guys who kept glancing over in her direction,
Some who looked stupid glaring at her perfection.
Of course she didn't recognized me; I had grown old.
As I tried to remember and let my memory banks unfold,
To the first time that I met her when she casually did admit,
That her husband was in jail for doing a mafia hit.
She said she was an American and only here for a while,
I could tell by her accent, she had lots of Southern style,
Though she left me mesmerized, I still had to pretend,
I wasn't tempted by her charms; I had business to attend.
I wrote my police report, which I immediately did ignore,
But I sure remember Belinda and everything that she wore,
And then I found that half the division knew her by name,
And each lowered his voice and whispered as in shame.
The next time that I saw Belinda, into court she did walk.
She sat right before the judge with those legs that could talk.
And then her probation officer; it was obviously prearranged,
Gave evidence for an hour 'bout how she had changed.
And then the judge let her walk and watched her as she left,
Can't remember the charge; was it prostitution or theft?
We all looked disappointed as she walked out the door,
As if someone should run after her; invite her back for more.
The next time that I saw her, it was quite a surprise,
She was living in welfare housing with the cockroaches and the flies,
She was pushing a baby carriage and seemed so domesticated,
Good I thought she met a man and now she's dedicated.
Monique was her daughter's name and I watched them through the years,
You could never forget Belinda whenever she appears,
Her little girl grew up beside her and she had the same physique,
Is that little girl four rows ahead Belinda or Monique?

In case you didn't know, Boost Mobile is rewarding all its loyal customers with Shrinking Payments. Basically, the longer they stay, the less they pay – for every six months of service, they get $5 off their monthly payment for a maximum price deduction of $15, as long as the subscriber pays their bill on time. In fact, the Shrinking Payments special is now 2-years old, and because of that, Boost Mobile is treating its faithful users to special discounts.
"We'll be offering a SPECIAL DISCOUNT to fans and customers to celebrate … join us tomorrow at 10AM PST to find out more!" – this is what Boost Mobile posted on its Facebook page. Unfortunately, we don't really know any details about these discounts. Are smartphones to be put on sale? Are there going to be any temptingly-priced data plans available to loyal Boost Mobile users? We can only speculate right now.
Thankfully, it won't be long until we know what tricks Boost Mobile has up its sleeve. Anyone who is interested can keep an eye on PA as we'll update you with details on the matter as soon as they are announced.

Boost Mobile had a great concept with shrinkage. However, the deal isn't that attractive anymore given Straight Talk's $45 plan.

by Anti-Racist Parent columnist Dawn Friedman
We are a transracial family. My husband, my son and myself are white. Our daughter is African-American and joined our family through an open, domestic adoption three years ago. Both my kids are being raised in my Jewish faith in that their formal religious education is happening at our synagogue. They are also being raised less formally with some understanding of Christianity because their father is a Christian. Because it's easier for me to talk about my beliefs than it is for their dad to talk about his, when my 10-year old son asks big questions I answer from a Jewish perspective, as I understand it.
We're not so great at the trappings of either of our religions. Judaism — even Reform — has a lot of trappings and this is one of several reasons that our kids are at temple instead of at church. It's pretty easy to embrace Christianity — you just become Christian. But Judaism has a lot of formal rites that can be confusing and off-putting and to learn them now will make it easier for them to live Jewish later, if they choose to.
That's our immediate family: non-denominational, liberal Christian and very Reform Jew. Our extended families are everything from Christian Scientist to Atheist to Catholic to Pagan. My kids have some exposure to all of that but their faith teachings spring from my Judaism and Brett's Christianity.
Now to explain why I feel that it's more important that our daughter Madison have exposure to Christianity than it is for our son:
1. Her birth family is French-Catholic. Her grandparents met in Catholic high school (Her birth mom, Jessica, has a French last name that's very common in New Orleans). Madison's history on both her maternal and her paternal grandparent's side is Creole way, way back. She should have a cultural understanding of that because it's a rich part of her birth heritage.
2. Also her birth family, even when they don't practice Catholicism does practice Christianity. It's a huge part of their lives and the emails and things we get from them reflect this. She needs to understand this so she has a shared language or at the very least understands their point of view. (Also as an aside, her adoption into a Jewish-identifying family was a concern for some of her first family and we've made a point of letting them know that they don't need to censor their faith with us.)
3. Likewise, Christianity is a very important part of the African American community at large. "Church clothes," gospel music, biblical teachings — they are important cultural touchstones. Madison is going to miss out on a lot of cultural touchstones by virtue of growing up in our white family and I can't try to replicate them for her. What I can do is offer her an understanding of them by actively seeking out members of the community who are willing to educate her about them.
I don't think that Madison has a "true" religion that I can ferret out by looking at the color of her skin or her family tree. I certainly don't have the hubris to enter into the debate happening in the black community about the relevance of Christianity — what do I know? I'm a white Jew! I'm not talking about faith; I'm talking about the cultural experience of religion.
We're all for formal and informal multicultural religious education and the informal part is, to me, about addressing the immediacy of a shared cultural experience. This is also why I haven't gone out of my way to expose my children to Buddhists — we don't know any. (We know some people who are casually interested in Buddhism but no one who is a practicing Buddhist.) Likewise, in my need-to-happen-more forays into local African American community, I'm seeing a default to Christianity. Several black people have also explicitly told me that I need to expose Madison to Christianity
A woman wrote me awhile back about being a Jewish woman with a child from Guatemala and she said that her son's birth religion is Catholic but she can't teach him Catholicism because she's Jewish. I understand the dilemma — but I'm NOT talking about raising our children in their birth faith. I'm talking about giving our children an understanding of their birth culture.
Here's something of an example — one reason I think people assume I'm Christian is that I understand some Christian language. I understand what "the world" means. I understand what it means when someone says, "I was convicted on that." Recently a guy I met at a networking event assumed I was Christian after he used some of that language and I didn't ask him what he meant. I realize that by knowing his language, he was able to more comfortably (and surely unconsciously) make an assumption about me. I was welcome in a discussion we went on to have that I might not have been otherwise. I want Madison to grok the language.
It goes back to an old post I wrote about American-Family and math camp. To be Chinese, her Chinese husband quite clearly says, means to go to math camp. So should all white parents of adopted Chinese children sign up for math camp? Well, maybe. If math camp has the opportunity to be a shared touchstone that will make it easier for said child to enter into his/her birth community, then math camp has way more importance than just, you know, math camp. It's a cultural experience that can give a child options.
There are black kids at our synagogue (not many but they're there). The difference between them and Madison is that they all have at least one black parent. Those children may have to struggle to define what their blackness means to them (or what other people's assumptions about their blackness means to them) but it will be a different struggle than Madison's and I think I need to be more proactive than those other parents need to be.
I don't want to dictate Madison's experience by telling her that there is one more legitimate way to be black than another (that it is more legitimate to be Christian or Muslim or to embrace the example of Ethiopian Jews). Her experience as a child of African American heritage is legitimate because she is legitimate. BUT I do want her to know what the world at large is talking about. Even if she never has a chummy time in someone's kitchen getting her hair done, she needs to know that lots of other black women do and that sometimes people will look at her skin and think she shares an experience that she doesn't. I don't want her to be broadsided by this — I want her to be prepared, at the very least to be prepared to know that she doesn't know things but also where to find out. I want her to feel comfortable finding out. Having some shared language will, I know, make her search easier.
The reason I know how painful it is to be ignorant of things that feel like they should have been a birth right is that I'm a second generation interfaith Jew who converted at 30-something. It's hard sometimes to participate in temple activities and I can't help but wish my parents had given me an idea of what was going on even if they didn't want to teach me the faith of Judaism. (It's a relief to be able to talk about grandmother's hamantaschen even though I didn't even know that's what they were until I went to my first Purim celebration as an adult.) Sometimes I don't mind being ignorant but lots of times I want to (irony alert) pass as a regular old Jew. Sometimes Madison will want to be able to blend in, too, and I will do my best to open doors so she can craft her own identity instead of being stuck with the one we're foisting on her.
What Madison's faith will be is entirely up to her — she may end up feeling strong ties to her French-Catholic ancestry, or her adoptive dad's mom's Christian Science history, or she may say to heck with all that and become a Scientologist. Being a second-generation interfaith family, I feel that religion has way more to do with following your heart than with following familial dictates. But I also know that sometimes we look for — and find — truth by following our roots. Madison has a lot of roots. She has those that came to her by adoption, she has those that come from her first family and she has those that are part of the shared history of African Americans.
It's easy for me to share my faith and to share my family's faith (including her dad's family) but it will take special effort on my part to share the religious culture that she lost by being adopted. I want her to have access, should she choose to exercise it.
I'm not sure what that will look like but I imagine I will follow the lead of our local (i.e, Columbus) African American community and seeing where it leads us. Also it comes from studying black history, reading books with black protagonists, and yes, from reading Essence. (I don't subscribe anymore but I did and I learned a lot — about hair and about religion to start.)

It's hard to pin down what it is about Barry Soetoro—a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama II, a.k.a. The Usurper, a.k.a. The Big O'Bummer—that has sent conservatives into conniptions across the country. Most likely, it's the fact he was born in an exotic foreign land such as Quebec, Kenya or Hawaii (We can't even be sure which one it is! He hasn't produced a certified copy of his ultrasound signed by the attending physician, his mother and the victorious sperm!!!). Orange County has a bountiful crop of Obama haters, but it's rare that they fully speak their mind about what, exactly, they'd like to see happen to our most colorful president. With Buena Park pastor Wiley Drake, though, there's no fakery. In June, on Alan Colmes' nationally syndicated radio show, Drake said he was praying that Obama would die. Wasn't he worried a comment like that would attract Secret Service attention? "I think it's appropriate to pray for the will of God," Drake replied. "If that puts me on somebody's list, then I'll just have to be on their list." Congrats, Wiley, you made ours—for being honest.
The Halos' front office gets scads of credit for its player development and acquisition strategies, and with some exceptions ([cough] Gary Matthews Jr. [cough]), such credit is deserved. But at the first-base position in 2009, they just plain got lucky. Yeah, give them their due for signing Morales in the first place after his much-ballyhooed defection from the Island of Dr. Castreau, but come on: If they really thought Morales was ready to bust out this year, would they have offered Mark Teixeira a $160 flippin' million contract? No, they would not have. But the Angels' plan B—a guy who hadn't played more than 57 games or hit more than five home runs in the bigs—has indeed busted out, smashing more than 30 homers, driving in more than 100 runs, with a slugging percentage lately in the .560s. In fact, he's having a season roughly equivalent offensively to Teixeira. (To be fair, Tex is more patient, drawing more walks; and while Morales' defense has improved this year, he's not making anyone forget Teixeira's two Gold Gloves.) But here's the thing: Tex is earning $20 million from the Yankees this year. Morales' salary? A mere $600,000. ¡Ño! ¡Que barato! And Morales has not only filled Tex's shoes at first, but he has also helped keep thump in a lineup that remained potent, even with Vladimir Guerrero and Torii Hunter hurt for chunks of the year. With the Angels' starting pitching and middle relief in constant chaos, the team has needed that thump to achieve yet another AL West title. So, the only problem we see? Dude needs a nickname. For your consideration: The Cuban Missile. You're welcome.
Maybe it's the beach's relative seclusion, and maybe it's the fact that a cave sounds like a really sweet place to get wasted. Whatever the reason, this small patch of rocks, sand and cavern seems to attract the crowd for whom getting sun-baked goes along with getting sloshed and, well, baked. Keep in mind that if you partake, you tempt the wrath of lifeguards, police and the unforgiving ocean. Our advice: Enjoy the spectacle, but stick to being a designated diver.
According to a recent study by the Natural Resources Defense Council, Orange County has some of the cleanest beaches in the country, and none is cleaner than those in Newport Beach, all of which received five-star rankings. Hygiene counts, and it helps to explain why this year's winning stretch of sand is neither in Huntington Beach, the self-declared "Surf City," or Laguna Beach, which certainly would win the award if a dramatic, cliffy coastline was the only measure of worthiness. Located on the west side of Balboa Boulevard between 61st Street and Island Avenue and encompassing the Newport Beach Pier, this beach offers plenty of metered parking; endless sand, complete with showers, picnic tables and fire pits; and unbeatable waves. The beach closes at 10 p.m., but you can walk or fish on the nearby pier until midnight. If sack lunches aren't your style, there's a ton of nearby stores, bars and food joints, including the legendary Blue Beet and 21 Oceanfront, a swanky, elegant restaurant with ocean views.
Carrie Prejean's tits have nothing on Frida Marin's or the dozen or so other OC beauties who strut their stuff every year for the coveted title of Miss Hermosa y Protegida (Miss Beautiful and Protected). The backstage drama and prep time at the Center OC's Miss Hermosa pageant is enough to put even the sassiest Miss USA contestant in her place. The boys who would be girls competing in Miss Hermosa spend hours building eye-popping curves into their angular bodies before hitting the catwalk. They guard their secrets (such as how to hide it under a bathing suit). No materials are off-limits: Styrofoam, silicone, cotton, netting—they're all in there, and all make for a surprisingly busty and remarkably feminine set of contestants. The transformed girls trot out their new bodies in heels and bathing suits (yes, it's well-hidden), evening gowns and dizzying, elaborate homemade costumes for the recycled-materials competition. As if the great faux-tits-and-ass at this show weren't enough, all contestants also spend part of the night giving impassioned speeches about various sexual-health issues—from domestic violence to hate crimes to STDs. If only Miss USA were this smart a pageant.
Everyone generally agrees that the students in Capistrano Unified School District are good kids; it's the parents and politicians who shoot spitballs. The South County school district has spent half of this decade immersed in "adult-centered" turmoil, stirred up by the alleged misdeeds of superintendent James Fleming (who should be heading to trial any day now) and only made more frothy last year by the election of a board of trustees proclaiming "reform." Personality conflicts, misused funds, statewide budget panic and lingering suspicions that the district's new regime consists of evangelical anti-public-school saboteurs—all these things make the Capistrano Dispatch's Beyond the Blackboard blog reading material that calls for popcorn. Dispatch editor Jonathan Volzke serves up a near-daily dose of gossipy tidbits, connect-the-dots ruminations, unearthed public documents and live updates from the district's marathon board meetings. Extra credit goes to anyone who can identify the trustees, PTA moms and teachers of the year who bicker anonymously in the comments and turn each blog item into a sandbox for grown-ups acting like bullies.

Love Me - Poem by julie kops
Through long love aching
Through despair, through dying
Through slow heart breaking
Through endless bitter crying
I went down the dark way
With none beside me
Anguish beating out it's storm
Upon my helpless body
Met the end of all
Naked and unadorned
A world of torment,
I battled there so forlorn
Then knew suddenly on a strange night
That all i needed to conquer such wild terror
Stemmed from the midst of me
A right, inviolate which could not yield to error
Evil was the pain which love had brought me
Yet good was that which painful love had taught me
My arms are empty and my heart will ache
Many a long night love for your sake
And know I too, softly sadly
I could love you rightly now and madly.
Yet whatever shall i cherish til I die,
The knowing that within me..there is I

In the terrible wake of Hurricane Sandy which left my family unscathed without even a loss of power in our part of Brooklyn, our friend Dikran was stranded with his two-year-old daughter on the twenty-eighth floor of a high-rise in the blackout across Lower Manhattan.
His wife Jananne was out of the country and unable to get back for another thirty-six hours. There's no unhappy ending here, as there was (and still is) for so many in the ongoing aftermath.
I managed to drive into Manhattan in a narrow window of time when one could do so after the storm, and brought Dikran and Nayla back to Brooklyn where they spent the week with us and were later reunited with Jananne.

Phillips walk-off slam caps doubleheader sweep for Bandits
Lee fires six shutout innings in game one as Quad Cities takes series from Wisconsin
By Scott Kornberg / Quad Cities River Bandits | July 6, 2014 11:26 PM ET
Brett Phillips launched a walk-off grand slam to cap a doubleheader sweep of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, as the Quad Cities River Bandits won 5-0 and then 6-4 to take two out of three in the series.
Wisconsin led 4-2 in the bottom of the seventh of game two with their starter Victor Diaz on the mound. Diaz yielded a leadoff single to Dayne Parker, got Thomas Lindauer to fly to center but then gave up a hit to James Ramsay, who finished 2-for-4, before being pulled for reliever Tyler Spurlin. Marc Wik singled to left to load the bases for Phillips, who smashed the first pitch he saw from Spurlin (3-1) over the right-center field wall to give the River Bandits (10-7 second half, 45-41 overall) the walk-off 6-4 victory.
Michael Feliz (5-2) earned the victory in relief of Quad Cities starter Jandel Gustave, who lasted only 3.1 frames. Gustave left with the bases loaded in a 3-1 game in the fourth, with two Timber Rattlers (9-8, 45-41) having already crossed the plate in the inning. But Feliz fanned Johnny Davis and got Omar Garcia to groundout to end the threat. The right-hander also struck out the side in the top of the seventh, setting up the scene for Phillips' walk-off dinger. Feliz allowed a run on two hits with a walk and six punchouts in 3.2 frames.
Chris Lee (4-5) rolled through the Wisconsin order in game one, scattering five hits with a walk and strikeout in his six frames for the win. Lee's walk of Jose Pena was his first in 14.2 innings, the best of any River Bandits pitcher this season. The Timber Rattlers had one runner reach third base all game against Lee.
Chase McDonald led off the second inning of a scoreless game one by reaching on an error by Timber Rattlers shortstop Steven Halcomb. Wisconsin starter Anthony Banda got Ronnie Mitchell to fly to center field but then Brett Booth singled to put runners on first and second with one out. After Brian Holberton struck out, Thomas Lindauer cracked a three-run home run onto the berm in left field to burst open a scoreless contest.
More shoddy defense helped Quad Cities add to their lead in the fourth. Banda, who fanned a season-high 10, struck out both Jose Fernandez and Phillips to start the frame before McDonald singled to left. With two outs, Mitchell lined a ball to shallow center. Wisconsin center fielder Johnny Davis tried to make a diving catch, but had the ball scoot by him and roll all the way to the wall, allowing McDonald to score from first and Mitchell to end up at third with his first triple of the season.
Banda (4-6) surrendered five runs, just two earned, on six hits with two walks in his five innings to take the loss.
Quad Cities will start a three-game series Tuesday with Edison Frias (5-3, 5.36 ERA) on the mound against the Kane County Cougars from Modern Woodmen Park.
UP NEXT: The River Bandits celebrate Disco Night with '70s prices on food and beer. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. first pitch against the Kane County Cougars. Game tickets are available at www.riverbandits.com. To order any of the River Bandits 2014 ticket plans - with new lower prices - call the River Bandits box office at 563-324-3000.

Call a River Bandits account representative today to choose your seats and get the details of our various mini-plan packages.
ABOUT THE BANDITS: Having just been named Ballpark Digest's winner of Best Ballpark Improvement in America under $1 million, the River Bandits ownership recently made one of the biggest improvements to Modern Woodmen Park since the ballpark was first built back in 1931! A new Ferris wheel, standing 105 feet over the playing field, opened May 24, and Space Camp opened June 20. Soon to come is another new ride, this one called a "Drop and Twist." In 2013, the team unveiled a new 220-foot long dual zip line, a rock climbing wall, and a number of new bounce houses. Last season, the team's major league affiliate, the Houston Astros, saw all six of its affiliates reach the playoffs - the first time in a decade any MLB team can claim such success. The River Bandits were one of three affiliates to reach the championship round and one of two to win their league championship.

Date: January 22 2013
Centro Retail shareholders have overwhelmingly agreed to change the shopping centre company's name to Federation Centres as it attempts to put past problems behind it.
Chairman Bob Edgar told an extraordinary meeting that after a year of addressing issues such as settling a class action, refinancing its debt facility from $1.0 billion to $1.8 billion and reducing its gearing levels the company was ready to move on.
"So, we believe that it is now time to draw a defining line on the past to clearly identify it from our future," he told shareholders.
"As I highlighted, we have worked hard to address legacy issues from the past and we are now ready to put those behind us.
"In addition, we have also worked hard to put the organisation on a strong footing to move forward and we are very proud of what we've achieved to date.
"We believe that changing our name and brand at this point in time is the most definitive way to draw this defining line from the past and, most importantly, signal the evolution of our business."
Mr Edgar said the word Federation was an important part of the new brand because it was an organisation of individual shopping centres, supported by local communities, but also supported by the corporate group.
The company owns 41 shopping centres across Australia and manages a further 43.
More than 99 per cent of shareholders voted in favour of the name change.
Centro was one of Australia's highest-profile casualties of the global financial crisis, succumbing to massive debts mainly due to its exposure to the US market.
It underwent a restructure to become Centro Retail Australia in December 2011, with a sole focus on Australian shopping centres.
In May Centro settled a class action bought against the company and its auditor in 2008.
Investors had accused Centro of engaging in misleading and deceptive conduct by not disclosing its 2007 financial report that it had at least $3 billion of interest-bearing debt falling due within 12 months.
The company contributed $85.6 million to the settlement, plus incurred a $203.3 million loss related to special securities issued to compensate some of its securityholders in the event of a settlement.
The settlement contributed to Centro suffering a $223 million loss for the seven months to June 30.

Bell, M., Wilson, K. and Crawshaw, M. (2002) Adoption reform: Managing diversity and delay. Adoption and Fostering, 26 (3). pp. 8-19. ISSN 0308-5759
While many aspects of current government policy on adoption are welcome, there is concern that some key issues in the adoption process are not adequately addressed in the Adoption and Children Bill, 2001, and that the use of quantitative targets will not necessarily support the good practice identified. In this article Margaret Bell , Kate Wilson and Marilyn Crawshaw consider, in particular, two areas of difficulty in the selection and preparation process: managing diversity and delay. Their study highlights the need for practitioners to be flexible and open in their approach to shared assessments, and for agencies to have robust formal and informal communication systems which are transparent and accountable to users.

Glen and his staff were warm and welcoming and committed to creating a relaxing and peaceful experience. It was like taking a trip back in time to a slower more simple way of living enjoying life without all the technology, hustle and bustle and stress of the 21st century. Just a refreshing, quite weekend enjoying the ocean, the restaurants and the historic culture and climate of the Bentley itself.

The Bentley Inn in Bay Head NJ is a good a secret as the Bluffs Hotel and beach bar was for summer outings. Glenn and his simple staff have a very special place to stay at for families, couples and business travelers alike. One of a kind Inn 60 miles south from NY city. Large (but not too large) modernized true historic "Bay Header Inn". Staying there is always a charm and pleasure. Enjoy things anytime of the year. Thank you to the Bentley for always making my stay something simple yet special. Value Value Value...Thx...Thx...Thx!!! JNFJR

My husband and I decided to stay down at the shore last minute for this past New Year's Eve and stumbled across The Bentley Inn online. Us New Jerseyans know the shore is perfect any time of year, but Glenn made a special New Year's even more special. I'm only remiss in not posting this review sooner. To have an at home feel away from home, which included amazingly historic charm, a breakfast like no other, and a feeling of instant friendship -- stay at The Bentley Inn! Thank you, Glenn! Katherine & Tony

My reason for staying at The Bentley Inn was to be nearby for my dad's wake and funeral and Glenn couldn't have been any more kind and accommodating! From the wonderful breakfasts every morning (the french toast is to die for) to allowing my visiting, college age niece and her boyfriend to use the Wifi to finish their assignments, Glenn made this otherwise difficult time as relaxing and enjoyable as it could be. The location is suburb, the beds are comfortable and the ocean view from our room helped soothe the soul. Thank you Glenn, for being who you are, and for giving people like my husband and I a quiet respite during a stressful and hectic time.

This is the 2nd or 3rd time we have stayed at the Bentley. This is an old beach house converted with about a dozen rooms. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We had a bathroom and shower in ours and while it was small it was clean and the water was hot, pressure good. The location is second to none, you walk across the street to the beach. They have beach chairs, towels etc for your enjoyment. The breakfast is always excellent. We drive out of our way to stay here. A little pricey but the location is worth every penny. Try it you won't be disappointed. The Owner is a very nice person, very personable and knows the area well. Some great restaurants within walking or biking distance.

If you want quiet, private and clean this is the place to be! One little draw back is you may have to share a bathroom. But can I tell you that I don't think anyone used the one that was next to our room. Girlfriend was a little bummed about it but I didn't care. It really is like the ads state, 3 houses from the beach. Very easy walk. Oh now let me tell you about the beach, WONDERFUL! The best part is that it's private, I mean you need to have a beach "badge" to get on the beach and then displayed at all times. One inconvenience about the beach, couldn't bring a cooler with lunch packed onto the beach. Had to leave it at the stairs. But I also think that is why the beach was so clean. NO garbage anywhere. Was able to walk to dinner at Theresa's South- Very good food but BYO. Not an issue because next block was a packaged goods store. After dinner decided to buy a bottle of wine and sit on the covered porch and relax after dinner. Then went for a walk on the beach by moonlight. Next morning breakfast was great and checkout was very easy. Leave the keys and say goodbye. Couldn't have asked for a better 24 hours!

The Bentley is a great B & B starting with Glenn the Innkeeper. He is courteous, considerate and runs a relaxing and well maintained Inn. The rooms are good sized (peeked into many of them during cleaning), the porches comfortable, rooms nicely furnished and everything was immaculately clean. It is hard to maintain a place at the shore that does not have the smell of mold anywhere and I did not notice any. Several things were particularly nice. The hot breakfast in the morning (included) was very good, cooked to order by Glenn with a nice menu to choose from. The omelets were great, the caramel french toast and waffles too. Coffee, tea, homemade pastries, ice and a refrigerator are always available and very much appreciated. The two large sized outdoor showers were great and well supplied with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. How thoughtful. Glenn also allows guests to use these showers after check out so you can spend more time at the beach and supplies beach badges. We had a wonderful 3 days at The Bentley and I will go back as soon as possible. Thank you Glenn! Betsy W. P.S, The ratings above would not let me use the outstanding button but I would have given service and cleanliness outstanding if I could.

The Stochastic Volatility of Short‐Term Interest Rates: Some International Evidence
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): Clifford A. Ball, Walter N. Torous
- Published: Dec 17, 2002
- Pages: 2339-2359
This paper estimates a stochastic volatility model of short‐term riskless interest rate dynamics. Estimated interest rate dynamics are broadly similar across a number of countries and reliable evidence of stochastic volatility is found throughout. In contrast to stock returns, interest rate volatility exhibits faster mean‐reverting behavior and innovations in interest rate volatility are negligibly correlated with innovations in interest rates. The less persistent behavior of interest rate volatility reflects the fact that interest rate dynamics are impacted by transient economic shocks such as central bank announcements and other macroeconomic news.

Ex-Justice to Speak at MLK Celebration
North Carolina Central University will celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Thursday, Jan. 17 at 9:45 a.m. in the B.N. Duke Auditorium. Retired North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Patricia A. Timmons-Goodson will serve as the keynote speaker. This event is free and open to the public.
Timmons-Goodson was the first and only female African-American to serve on the state's highest court and was appointed by former Gov. Mike Easley in early 2006. She then won election in November of that year. She served as a state judge for more than two decades as a District...
Meet Recent Graduate Salim McDowell
North Carolina Central University law student Salim McDowell is a man of faith. For the last five years that faith has sustained him through a brush with death, and 12- to 14-hour days of studying. Some would call McDowell a walking miracle, but when he crossed the stage to receive his law degree on Dec. 8, 2012 one word described him: grateful.

Kick-off meeting del progetto MOCLog
The kick-off meeting of the project MOCLog: Monitoring Online Courses with Logfiles took place on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, in Brig.
Aim of the project is to build a tool for Moodle to monitor the activities on the LMS, giving to students, teachers, program managers and administrators, data that can be useful to improve the quality of teaching and learning in online courses.
Partners of the project are: FFHS (leader), BFH, FHNW, eLab USI/SUPSI. The eLab team is composed by Marco Faré (contact person) and Riccardo Mazza.
È disponibile la versione beta di GISMO 2.0!
On March the 23rd a beta version of the new Gismo has been released. GISMO is a tool able to extract tracking data of Moodle users and to generate graphical representations, for supportin instructors' monitoring of class and students.
The features of version 2.0, differently from the previous version, are the following:
– it supports the latest (1.9.x) version of Moodle
– user interface does not use anymore Java applets, but it has been redesigned from scratch and it is based on modern AJAX interface.
To download the beta version, see the SourceForge main page on the project.

The Indiana DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife is updating the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP). Indiana's SWAP is a habitat-based model that incorporates all fish and wildlife species within the state. It identifies the condition of Indiana's wildlife species and habitats, the problems they face, and the actions needed to ensure their long-term success.

Indiana Wildlife Federation
Natural Resources Conservation Service

Purdue University, Department of Forestry & Natural Resources
The Nature Conservancy

U.S. Forest Service
Why undertake this effort?
The Division of Fish & Wildlife identified the need for guidance for statewide management and conservation of natural resources as a high priority. Bridging efforts across numerous natural resource agencies and organizations to maximize opportunities and accelerate conservation is critical. Indiana's SWAP was identified as a mechanism to accomplish these ambitious goals.
In addition to helping the Division meet its goals, SWAPs also bring crucial federal funds to the state for protection, conservation and management of wildlife species. The U.S. Congress requires all states and territories to review and revise their SWAPs at least every 10 years to address new and changing conditions. All states need to complete their revised SWAPs by 2015. More information about the federal program and requirements can be found on Teaming with Wildlife.

With Rescue Me drawing to a close this fall, Denis Leary has already begun thinking about his next TV project and, surprise, it's another show that finds the humor in emergency response teams. In a pilot he's currently developing for the USA Network, Leary will follow The Job's police officers and Rescue Me's firefighters with an adaptation of the UK series Sirens, which concerns the day-to-day dramedy of a team of paramedics—a dark comedy that would mark a subtle tonal shift away from USA's usual tropical breeziness. (It would also be the network's first half-hour comedy series, a format USA says it's hoping to begin making a regular part of its lineup.) At the moment Leary has not yet decided whether he will star or even take a supporting role in Sirens, but we'd be willing to bet Lenny Clarke gets in there somewhere.

Pressure is on Oversee.net
Based on events and announcements throughout the domain industry during the last couple of years, as well as declining PPC earnings trends and harsh economic conditions, I believe there must be considerable pressure on Oversee.net. Here's a quick third party view of things that have transpired.
Oversee.net purchased Snapnames, which was the leading platform to purchase expired and deleting domain names. They had many exclusive drop catching deals in place with some of the leading registrars.
A few months later, Enom launched Namejet, a direct competitor to Snapnames. Some of the exclusive registrars later shifted from Snapnames to Enom, costing Snapnames some of the better dropping domain names.
Oversee purchased Moniker a leading domain registrar and auction house that primarily held its live auctions at TRAFFIC shows during the year, grossing millions of dollars. TechCrunch reported the purchase price at $65 million.
Oversee announced staff layoffs.
Oversee holds a great annual domain conference in January, DomainFest, which is held in Hollywood, California with considerable fanfare and high praise from industry professionals.
Crowd favorite and Director of Business Development, Ron Sheridan departs from Oversee's DomainSponsor.
Rick Latona enters live auction business directly competing with Moniker auctions at some TRAFFIC shows.
Rick Latona signs exclusive deal with Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu to partner on the TRAFFIC shows, leaving Moniker on the outside. In 2009-2010 TRAFFIC will expand to 6+ domain conferences annually, and it doesn't appear that Moniker will be the auctioneer.
Fabulous announces free security feature which will compete with Moniker's expensive Max Lock program ($19.99/domain or $124.99/portfolio), and Fabulous also announced a free privacy protection service that will compete with Moniker's privacy, which costs $4.00 per year.
I know Oversee.net is managed by some smart people, but it seems that many deals they've made haven't worked out as well as they wanted them to work out, and in other cases, competitors are offering better products/services at better prices. Oversee companies were the best of breed in some categories, but now it seems that's being chipped away rapidly by nimble competitors. Oversee is a well funded company with big time VC backer Oak Hill Capital Partners, but who knows how much of that investment remains and how much previous investments are currently worth.
The people that make up the company are a primary reason why I do business with more than one Oversee company. However, with tough economic times, there are difficult business decisions that have to be made. The pressure seems to be on Oversee, and it will be interesting to see their next move.
Fabulous: Free Privacy & Better Security
I received an email from Fabulous this morning containing some great news for domain investors who use Fabulous as their domain registrar. Fabulous announced that they are offering two new features and additions that will benefit domain investors, one of which I had requested on my blog a number of months ago. Let's discuss the two new features available to Fabulous clients:
1) Whois Privacy
Over the years, a number of people have asked Fabulous to provide privacy protection on their Whois data. While Fabulous allowed just a few domain names to have privacy in the past, they are now giving everyone privacy – for FREE. While the cost of privacy protection various from a few cents per domain name to several dollars at other registrars, there is no cost at Fabulous.
Every domain using the Fabulous Whois Privacy Service will be given a unique identifier, and all email and phone messages related to domain names will be automatically redirected to the domain owner. This is surely going to either cause other registrars to lower their prices considerably or risk losing domain registrations.
To show how popular this is elsewhere, just have a look at DomainTools' Registrant Search Tool for "Whois Privacy Protection Service, Inc" which was found in about 2,131,377 domain names. Also, a search of Moniker's "Moniker, Privacy Services" was found in 527,369 domain names. They are laying down the gauntlet with a popular added value service.
2) Fabulous Security Key
Basically the way the key works is that you will log into your account as per normal, using username and password. To activate the Security Key, you will go to the Manage > Security page, select "Fabulous Security Key", then insert the USB device and click the button.
You can then select what areas of the account you want to protect with the Security Key. Once this has been setup, to gain access to those sections of your account (Sales, Transfers, Name Servers, Pushes) that are protected, you will need to insert the Fabulous Security Key, and click the button. The Fabulous system will verify that you are authorized to visit that section of the account and allow you to make the necessary changes.
With domain theft seemingly at an all-time high and reported on domain forums and elsewhere daily, this will give domain owners added protection over their portfolios. I don't believe another company is offering a security system that is as comprehensive as Fabulous. (UPDATE: Name.com was first to market with this, and they have been offering a security key fob for the past several months). Not only will a hacker need to steal someone's login and passcode, but they will also need to have the security key fob, making domain theft virtually impossible.
Incidentally, In December of 2007, I wrote a post called Registrar Security: A Call to Action, where I requested security key fobs at registrars. From my post:
I think a security key fob with a changing passcode (similar to what Paypal offers) could help secure a domain registrar account. I would pay a premium for this service, and I am sure others would as well. Having good security is a unique selling point that distinguishes some registrars from others. Having the best security system in place before competitors would certainly give one registrar a major competitive advantage. Most registrants wouldn't want multiple security key fobs, so consolidating all domain names at the most secure registrar would be the most likely outcome.
This is great news from Fabulous, and domain owners will benefit.

I'd agree that the ELOO is fine and is working for me. I did, however, have to read a few labels b/c a few at my grocery store had the additional of canola to "lighten" it. The one I bought was 100% ELOO. I do not consider a few MUFAs to be a bad thing....I mean, most of us consider nuts, avocados, pesto, olives, etc. to be ok in reasonable amounts.Starting Weight: 197.5

I was really surprised when I saw those labels. But then again, most people don't read labels, and many that do would not be offended by the canola as the CW nutritionists push it as "healthy". I became a label reader sev'l years ago and have avoided a lot of crap as a result.
The MCT finally arrived and I've been adding a tsp to my morning dose of ELOO. So far, my tummy has not complained.Starting Weight: 197.5

Hi everyone,
I haven't posted in ages, but I've been reading this thread with great interest. A bit of history, last year I went from 160 to 150 pounds through a combo of diet (Paleo + calorie restriction) and exercise (weights, running, HIIT). Despite sticking with the program, I put the 10 pounds back on. I've tried a number of things to get below 150 (eat more, eat less) but the scale JUST WON'T BUDGE. And I'm not trying to get unreasonably tiny either - I am 5'4" and large frame so 140 pounds looks really good on me (size 4).
I recently started doing Bikram and am seeing some subtle, yet encouraging changes to my appearance, but I still struggle with appetite.
After reading this thread I decided to give it a go. I have had my two coconut oil shots today. The first was around 8am and I didn't eat breakfast. Although I was hungry by noon, it was WAY less painful than when I was trying to IF. In fact, I could have post-poned eating until 1pm if I had to, but I had a meeting so chose to eat at noon. I just took another shot of CO as I normally get really hungry mid-afternoon and I have to say that even though it was just ~100 calories of oil, I feel like I had a snack!
I forgot to weigh myself this morning but will do so tomorrow. So far, I am really liking the appetite suppressing qualities of this - I still get hungry, but it's not the I must eat all the things now kind of hunger that I usually get.
Thanks for posting your story, heatseeker, super inspiring as we seem to have a similar issue with set point."For the great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie�deliberate, contrived, and dishonest�but the myth�persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic ... we enjoy the comfort of opinions without the discomfort of thought."
---John F. Kennedy
Good luck Gem!
You MUST keep us posted on every.single.development.
I'm hungry! I feel like I could eat my arm today. I had two oil shots this morning and ZERO AS all day. What the heck is up with that? I ate more carbs than usual so skinnied them down today in case they were aggravating my hunger. Maybe I was skimpy on breakfast protein.
I too really need to eat protein 3x a day. When I don't get enough, I'm hungry. I was hoping I might need less with the oil shots.
Oceangal, I didn't figure you to be old enough for a 28 year old! Did you say you found ELOO at Costco? I didn't look there. Maybe I need to go out there.
Welcome gemp. Please do report details. We are all so curious. We are the same height, but I don't think I would come close to a 4 at 140.
Julia, hug those boys. I truly can't believe how quickly they grow up. Just alarming!
Hotmail, those prices you have to pay for oil are steep!
Thanks for the welcome everyone! I will definitely weigh myself tomorrow morning, report on that and my progress with SLD as well.
It is 4:45pm my time and I am still not starving, and this is after having only chicken thighs and salad for lunch.
Hmmmm, something is definitely going on!"For the great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie�deliberate, contrived, and dishonest�but the myth�persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic ... we enjoy the comfort of opinions without the discomfort of thought."
---John F. Kennedy
I'm on day 2 and had no AS at all today...usually I IF until 1ish but today, I ran home after the gym to eat before getting the kids at 12...then had a late afternoon snack and then a normal dinner but never felt sated so kept having more fat (1 oz mac nuts, 2 squares of dark chocolate...finally 2 tbs of butter did the trick)...unfortunately clocked in at almost twice the calories (including oil)...of my first day, it was not because I had AS but was at a baseball game and even though I wanted something after my brown bag lunch, there was nothing acceptable at the stadium and then we got stuck in bad traffic so dinner was delayed till 7 so I ran out of time to eat too many calories...
1. What oil seems to work the best/fastest...I have ELOO and refined CO...the first day I used ELOO and the 2nd day CO...or should I mix it up to get the benefits of each or stick with one for a while then switch?
2. I've been taking my first shot at 8 am and the last shot around 7-8 p.m....maybe I should rethink this? What do most people do?
3. Any other suggestions
A big welcome from me too, Gem. Keep us updated.

Primal momma, I'm new at this so don't really have much to add. I've been using avocado oil. The first few days I had goodcAS. Yesterday and today, very little AS. That's on 2T of oil in the morning. I am going to try an evening shot to see if I can get a buildup into my system. I'm going to trust in what Janie says about it taking a week to really get AS.

I knew Greta's been called all these things already, but it's striking seeing them all gathered together in one paragraph. From her latest on AlterNet:
I've gotten tremendous hostility over the years for my attempts to persuade people out of religion. I've been called a racist and a cultural imperialist, trying to stamp out the beautiful tapestry of human diversity and make everyone in the world exactly like me. I've been called a fascist, have been compared to Stalin and Glenn Beck. My atheist activism has been compared to the genocide of the Native Americans. I've even been called "evil in one of its purest forms" — as have many other atheist writers; I'm hardly the only target of this. All this, for trying to persuade people that their idea is mistaken, and our idea is correct. The atheism itself gets hostile opposition as well, of course: it gets called immoral, amoral, hopeless, meaningless, joyless, and more. But the very idea of presuming to engage in this debate — the very idea of putting religion on one side of a chessboard and atheism on the other, and seeing which one gets check-mated — is regularly treated as a bigoted and intolerant violation of the basic principles of human discourse.
