When does being famous not make you a celebrity? When you're famous on the internet of course. The rise of social media and all its related geekiness has propelled certain figures to cult stardom and generated huge followings for them – yet in the grand scheme of things, they remain relatively unknown. How very modern. Check out our list of the most famous 'non-celebrities' on the net.
10. Robert Scoble
The 'Scobleizer', Robert Scoble, has navigated his way through the murky waters of the blogging world to become the original internet 'spokesblogger' – whilst working for Microsoft he used his popular personal blog, scobleizer.com, to post favorable comments about his employers. After leaving Microsoft in 2006, Scoble has gone on to cement his place in the blogging world, and has done much to prove the value of blogging as an interactive platform and raise awareness for it as a tool aiding customer relationships. Currently pushing the art of video blogging, he may well find himself at the cutting edge of the next evolution of social media – but despite this, he remains very much an internet phenomenon. You might not have heard of him, but 11,506 Facebook users think he is the man.
9. Chris Pirillo
Self-confessed 'media-friendly geek', Chris Pirillo (aka 'lockergnome'), produces content and in his own words 'catalyzes' communities. Chris is 'famous' for being a computer systems support guru and former TechTV host, as well as for having his own site, chrispirillo.com, which features an eclectic mix of opinions, technical support, coupons and videos. In reality, he's not famous at all, although his Facebook following currently sits at 14,647 – not bad, but then again most of them love him for his fairly lame catchphrase, "we'll 'E' ya later," which he accompanies with an "E" hand gesture. Hmmm… not quite The Rock's raised eyebrow then…
8. Veronica Belmont
Veronica Belmont is, in many ways, the Kristin Stewart of the geek world – hot, young, upcoming… unfortunately, being the hottest property in geek circles isn't quite the same as being the hottest property in Hollywood. Still, she's not doing too badly. Co-host of the Revision3 show, Tekzilla, alongside Patrick Norton, and host of the monthly PlayStation 3-based video on demand program, Qore, Veronica has a legion of 18,038 geeky Facebook admirers. Hollywood, watch out!
7. Evan Bailyn
Evan Bailyn may not be a household name right now, but if this list were about the names that will be on your lips in a few years time, he might well top it. This budding entrepreneur has been steadily building his web property portfolio since graduating from Columbia in 2003. Since then he's founded First Page Sage, a search engine optimization and social media company with a near-perfect record of getting client websites to rank on the first page of Google (he's even publishing a book entitled Outsmarting Google in 2011), and counts a host of celebrities and Fortune 500 companies among his clients. Evan's Facebook following currently stands at a healthy 38,783, and counting… watch this space.
6. Guy Kawasaki
Guy was one of the original employees of Apple, responsible for marketing the Macintosh in 1984 and bringing to the geek world the concept of 'evangelism' – becoming a passionate advocate for technology development. In tech/geek/web circles, this makes him the equivalent of royalty, and although you probably haven't heard of him, his modestly titled blog, How to Change the World, ranks in the top 2000 most popular. Guy has stated that "what you should do is create a great product or service…the goal is to change the world…if you do that, maybe you'll be a legend." Not quite there yet for most of us, Guy, but 38,995 Facebook fans certainly think so.
5. Tom Anderson
Tom Anderson, aka 'Myspace Tom', is a good contender for the most recognized yet least known man in the world. Yes, that's right, he's the guy with the profile shot and cheesy grin that is friends with EVERYONE on MySpace. But why you ask? Well, because in 2003 he co-founded MySpace with partner in crime, Chris DeWolfe. Today he works as a strategic consultant for the site, but under his presidency newly created MySpace accounts included Tom as a default 'friend' – so as of February 2010, Tom's profile had over 12 million friends. His Facebook following isn't shabby either, with 41,971 fans. Not too bad for someone about whom most people under 30 have wondered: "Who the hell IS he?"
4. Gary Vaynerchuk
'Social Media Sommelier', Gary Vaynerchuk, has blazed a twin path through the online and wine industry worlds, becoming what many consider to be the first wine critic of the Youtube era. As a testament to his influence, an article in the Washington Post recently proclaimed him as, 'outside of Robert Parker, probably the most influential wine critic in the United States.' Heady stuff. Unfortunately though, neither the wine world nor the social media world constitute most people's idea of 'celebrity' – still, a respectable 45,033 Facebook fans suggest he could be one to watch for the mainstream future.
3. Seth Godin
Best-selling author and speaker, Seth Godin, has become a blogging sensation for his marketing techniques and insights into how ideas spread through communities. Godin's ideas are so widespread, it is virtually impossible to not come across them when visiting any marketing website. Over the years he's written 11 books and been involved in a number of ventures – including founding online writing site, Squidoo, which ranks in the top 500 most visited sites on the net. Testament to his growing strength is his legion of Facebook fans – 54,082 at last count.
2. Mark Cuban
This controversial entrepreneur, and owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, has been fined over $1.5m by the NBA for various incidents which, considering how much cash he has, doesn't seem to bother him. Cuban made his fortune with various net ventures, including Broadcast.com which was acquired by Yahoo! at the height of the dot-com boom in 1999 – for $5.9 billion in Yahoo! stock. Now, arguably, Cuban is a celebrity of sorts, appearing at number 400 in the Forbes 'Rich List' – but let's be honest; he's not in the same league as George Clooney. It seems that whereas money can't buy you the peak of celebrity stardom, it can get you a nice little following of around 78,000 on Facebook.
1. Kevin Rose
Known for his internet start-ups, Kevin Rose has risen to cult status in the online world, becoming the CEO of hugely popular social bookmarking site, Digg.com. Rose started out on the classic geeky path of working for a gaming channel, but quickly branched out, founding niche internet television network, Revision3, and then going on to start up Digg on a shoestring budget. Today Rose's face provides the wallpaper for many a geek around the globe, avidly following his podcasts. Such is his success, he is beginning to make the transition into the mainstream, appearing on various chat shows in the US – but for now, this online genius remains very much the archetypal 'web celeb', with 123,233 Facebook fans and counting.

November 1, 2006
Contact: Ben Sherman
More than 13 tons of derelict fishing gear has been removed from the fragile coral reef environment of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument during a recent 28-day multi-agency removal effort coordinated by NOAA's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center.
Established earlier this year by President George W. Bush, the monument is the world's largest fully protected marine conservation area. NOAA co-manages the monument's resources in partnership with the Department of the Interior and the state of Hawaii.
Working aboard the NOAA ship Oscar Elton Sette, the 13-person marine debris team conducted in-water surveys and debris removal operations at Kure, Pearl and Hermes Atolls, covering more than three square miles. Land debris was collected with assistance from the U.S. Department of Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the state of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, and the NOAA Fisheries Protected Species Division at both atolls as well as at French Frigate Shoals.
Earlier this year, marine debris removal efforts collected almost two tons of land debris from Laysan and Lisianski islands, and working with the U.S. Coast Guard, an additional two and a half tons of land-based debris was gathered from the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. All debris collected is being recycled to provide electricity to Hawaii residents through a partnership with Schnitzer Steel Hawaii Corporation and Covanta Energy.
"The removal of another staggering amount of marine debris from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands underscores the urgency of having the President's support for ensuring final enactment of S. 362, the Marine Debris Research, Prevention, and Reduction Act," said U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye of Hawaii. "The Senate and the President should make this a priority when Congress reconvenes. This bipartisan bill will ensure we have a national approach to cleanup and prevention of marine debris. Both the Senate and House have passed the bill, and just one final vote in the Senate will move it to the President."
"NOAA has a long-standing commitment to the people of Hawaii to address the issue of marine debris, both through identification and removal, as well as through research, education and public awareness of this critical issue affecting not only the health of the Hawaiian ecosystem, but the entire planet's oceans," said John H. Dunnigan, director of NOAA's National Ocean Service, which oversees the NOAA Marine Debris Program.
Since 1996, NOAA's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center has been working to remove hazardous marine debris from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, where it injures marine life, destroys coral reef habitat, and threatens safe navigation. With the support of NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program, a large scale removal effort was conducted from 2001 to 2005 aimed at reducing the massive amounts of debris that collect in the islands due to their location in the North Pacific Gyre, a swirling vortex of ocean currents comprising most of the northern Pacific Ocean. In recognition of its efforts, the center recently received the state of Hawaii's 2006 Living Reef Award in the non-commercial, government agency division
Starting this year, the marine debris team is conducting smaller, more targeted efforts focusing on high-density areas of derelict fishing gear. The data collected from these efforts will contribute towards a continued research study examining the annual rate of debris accumulation in locations throughout the Hawaiian archipelago. It is hoped that the study will help managers determine new approaches to managing this growing global concern.
Annually, more than 52 tons of marine debris accumulates in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The marine debris team and its many federal, state, local, non-governmental, industry, and academia partners have collected more than 580 tons of debris in the islands since 1996.
Marine debris is not just a problem in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, but also a concern in the main Hawaiian islands. In 2006, NOAA's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, with funding and support from the NOAA Marine Debris Program, undertook the first comprehensive look at marine debris there.
Between February and May 2006, the center completed 13 days and 50 flight hours of helicopter surveys to assess the distribution, abundance, and impact of marine debris in the islands of Oahu, Kauai, Hawaii, Maui, Lanai, and Molokai. A total of 711 marine debris sites, comprising an estimated 250,000 pounds of debris, were identified, with the vast majority found on beaches. A pilot clean-up effort removed more than 15 tons of debris on Oahu.
The NOAA Marine Debris Program works with other NOAA offices including NOAA Fisheries Service, NOAA's Ocean Service, and Hawaii Sea Grant as well as other federal, state, and local agencies and private sector partners to support national, state, local, and international efforts to protect our nation's natural resources and coastal waterways from marine debris. The debris removal projects are part of a nationwide effort that also includes addressing marine debris in the Pacific Northwest, the Gulf of Mexico and the East Coast, as well as Hawaii.
In 2007 NOAA, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, celebrates 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA.
NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.

State police: Vacherie woman dies after 2-vehicle crash
State police: Vacherie woman dies after 2-vehicle crash
VACHERIE, La. —
State police say a 70-year-old Vacherie woman whose car was struck broadside by a pickup on La. Highway 20 died at St. James Parish Hospital in Lutcher.
Trooper First Class Evan Harrell says Virgia Folse was turning left onto Highway 20 from a parking lot at 11:20 a.m. Monday when she was struck broadside by a pickup driven by 52-year-old Kirk Melancon, of Vacherie.
Harrell says both Folse and Melancon were wearing seat belts.
He says Melancon was not cited in the accident because Folse failed to yield the right of way.

In a previous post, I mentioned that I would soon be debuting new shit. Well, that new shit, I'm happy to report, is almost here, and you can get a sneak peak this Monday at Essay Fiesta at the Book Cellar in Lincoln Square.
There will be drinking, sex, and foul language. And then I'll do the reading (Boom!).
"Tales of Iceland or 'Running with the Huldufolk in the Permanent Daylight'" will be available next month for Kindle, Nook, and iPad from the nascent media empire GiveLiveExplore. This travelogue is based off the trip I took last year with my friends Trin and Bojo, and it will, hands down, the greatest book ever written by an American about Iceland. Or at least the most offensive.
It is dirty. It is weird. It has me naked on the cover.
And you can be the first to hear one of its strangest parts along with several other excellent readers at the reading series Essay Fiesta. Again, the Book Cellar, Lincoln Square. 7 p.m. This Monday. In the meantime, you can check out the website here.

Teachings of Brigham Young
The last days will be a period of great turmoil.
All we have yet heard and we have experienced is scarcely a preface to the sermon that is going to be preached. When the testimony of the Elders ceases to be given, and the Lord says to them, "Come home; I will now preach my own sermons to the nations of the earth," all you now know can scarcely be called a preface to the sermon that will be preached with fire and sword, tempests, earthquakes, hail, rain, thunders and lightnings, and fearful destruction. What matters the destruction of a few railway cars? You will hear of magnificent cities, now idolized by the people, sinking in the earth, entombing the inhabitants. The sea will heave itself beyond its bounds, engulfing mighty cities. Famine will spread over the nations and nation will rise up against nation, kingdom against kingdom and states against states, in our own country and in foreign lands; and they will destroy each other, caring not for the blood and lives of their neighbors, of their families, or for their own lives (DBY, 111–12).
There never has been a day for ages and ages, not since the true church was destroyed after the days of the Apostles, that required the faith and the energy of godly men and godly women, and the skill, wisdom and power of the Almighty to be with them, so much as this people require it at the present time. There never was that necessity; there never has been a time on the face of the earth, from the time that the church went to destruction, and the Priesthood was taken from the earth, that the powers of darkness and the powers of earth and hell were so embittered, and enraged, and incensed against God and Godliness on the earth, as they are at the present (DBY, 112).
The Devil is just as much opposed to Jesus now as he was when the revolt took place in heaven. And as the Devil increases his numbers by getting the people to be wicked, so Jesus Christ increases his numbers and strength by getting the people to be humble and righteous. The human family are going to the polls by and by, and they wish to know which party is going to carry the day (DBY, 112).
Righteousness will triumph at the end of the world.
The time will come when every knee will bow, and every tongue confess to and acknowledge him, and when they who have lived upon the earth and have spurned the idea of a Supreme Being and of revelations from him, will fall with shamefacedness and humble themselves before him, exclaiming, "There is a God! O God, we once rejected thee and disbelieved thy word and set at naught thy counsels, but now we bow down in shame and we do acknowledge that there is a God, and that Jesus is the Christ." This time will come, most assuredly. We have the faith of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus (DBY, 112–13).
What will they do? They will hear of the wisdom of Zion and the kings and potentates of the nations will come up to Zion to inquire after the ways of the Lord, and to seek out the great knowledge, wisdom and understanding manifested through the Saints of the Most High (DBY, 113).
They will have to bow the knee and confess that he is God, and that Jesus Christ, who suffered for the sins of the world, is actually its Redeemer; that by the shedding of his blood he has redeemed men, women, children, beasts, birds, fish, the earth itself and everything that John saw and heard praising in heaven [see Revelation 5:13] (DBY, 113).
By and by the world will be overturned according to the words of the prophet, and we will see the reign of righteousness enter in, and sin and iniquity will have to walk off. But the power and principles of evil, if they can be called principles, will never yield one particle to the righteous march of the Savior, only as they are beaten back inch by inch, and we have got to take the ground by force. Yes, by the mental force of faith, and by good works, the march forth of the Gospel will increase, spread, grow and prosper, until the nations of the earth will feel that Jesus has the right to rule King of nations as he does King of Saints (DBY, 113).
Do you know that it is the eleventh hour of the reign of Satan on the earth? Jesus is coming to reign, and all you who fear and tremble because of your enemies, cease to fear them, and learn to fear to offend God, fear to transgress his laws, fear to do any evil to your brother, or to any being upon the earth, and do not fear Satan and his power, nor those who have only power to slay the body, for God will preserve his people (DBY, 114).
In the progress of the age in which we live, we discern the fulfilment of prophecy, and the preparation for the second coming of our Lord and Savior to dwell upon the earth. We expect that the refuge of lies will be swept away, and that city, nation, government, or kingdom which serves not God, and gives no heed to the principles of truth and religion, will be utterly wasted away and destroyed (DBY, 114).
The Millennium will be a time of unity, peace, and temple service.
The Millennium consists in this—every heart in the Church and Kingdom of God being united in one; the Kingdom increasing to the overcoming of everything opposed to the economy of heaven, and Satan being bound, and having a seal set upon him. All things else will be as they are now, we shall eat, drink, and wear clothing (DBY, 115).
Let the people be holy, and the earth under their feet will be holy. Let the people be holy, and filled with the Spirit of God, and every animal and creeping thing will be filled with peace; the soil of the earth will bring forth in its strength, and the fruits thereof will be meat for man. The more purity that exists, the less is the strife; the more kind we are to our animals, the more will peace increase, and the savage nature of the brute creation vanish away. If the people will not serve the Devil another moment whilst they live, if this congregation is possessed of that spirit and resolution, here in this house is the Millennium. Let the inhabitants of this city be possessed of that spirit, let the people of the territory be possessed of that spirit, and here is the Millennium. Let the whole people … be possessed of that spirit and here is the Millennium, and so will it spread over all the world (DBY, 115–16).
In the Millennium, when the Kingdom of God is established on the earth in power, glory and perfection, and the reign of wickedness that has so long prevailed is subdued, the Saints of God will have the privilege of building their temples, and of entering into them, becoming, as it were, pillars in the temples of God [see Revelation 3:12], and they will officiate for their dead. Then we will see our friends come up, and perhaps some that we have been acquainted with here. … And we will have revelations to know our forefathers clear back to Father Adam and Mother Eve, and we will enter into the temples of God and officiate for them. Then [children] will be sealed to [parents] until the chain is made perfect back to Adam, so that there will be a perfect chain of Priesthood from Adam to the winding-up scene.
This will be the work of the Latter-day Saints in the Millennium (DBY, 116).
We should sanctify ourselves in preparation for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Do not be too anxious for the Lord to hasten his work. Let our anxiety be centered upon one thing, the sanctification of our own hearts, the purifying of our own affections, the preparing of ourselves for the approach of the events that are hastening upon us. This should be our concern, this should be our study, this should be our daily prayer, and not to be in a hurry to see the overthrow of the wicked (DBY, 117).
Whether the world is going to be burned up within a year, or within a thousand years, does not matter a groat [a kernel of grain] to you and me. We have the words of eternal life, we have the privilege of obtaining glory, immortality, and eternal lives, now will you obtain these blessings? (DBY, 117).
We have the Kingdom of God to build up, Zion to redeem; we have to sanctify ourselves so that we may be prepared to be caught up with the Church of the Firstborn, and if we improve every day and hour, then if we die we shall be found justified. But if we continue to live, we must become Saints in very deed, or come short of the fulness of the glory of God that is to be revealed (DBY, 444).
The Lord's time is not for me to know; but he is kind, long-suffering, and patient, and his wrath endureth silently, and will until mercy is completely exhausted, and then judgment will take the reins. I do not know how, neither do I at present wish to know. It is enough for us to know how to serve our God and live our religion, and thus we will increase in the favor of God (DBY, 117–18).
Suggestions for Study
The last days will be a period of great turmoil.
According to President Young, what trials will come in the last days? Why will these judgments fall on the earth?
What did President Young say would be the only reason for persecution against the Church to stop?
How is the war in heaven still being waged on the earth today? What is required of "godly men and godly women" in the last days?
Righteousness will triumph at the end of the world.
How will the wicked people of the earth react when they "hear of the wisdom of Zion"?
What should we learn to fear during this "eleventh hour of the reign of Satan on the earth"? How can we remain unafraid of the enemies of righteousness?
President Young said that the wicked will be "beaten back" and the "march forth of the Gospel will increase" by the "mental force of faith, and by good works." How can faith be a "mental force"? How do good works overcome wickedness? How can we help the march of the gospel "increase, spread, grow and prosper"?
The Millennium will be a time of unity, peace, and temple service.
According to President Young, what is the Millennium? (See also D&C 43:30–31; 88:110.)
How will the earth and its inhabitants be made peaceful and holy?
What will be the work of the Latter-day Saints during the Millennium?
We should sanctify ourselves in preparation for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
President Young said that we should sanctify ourselves in preparation for Jesus Christ's Second Coming. How do we become sanctified? (See also Helaman 3:35; D&C 20:31.)
Why should we not be concerned with the exact timing of the Second Coming?

Many athletes in the summer Olympics are also parents. You'd think the craziness of raising children (combined with their intense training) would make for some weary Olympians, but, according to the New York Times, it could be the opposite: some athletes have found they're faster and stronger post-baby.
A sports medicine specialist quoted in the Times said there's no chemical process or bodily change from pregnancy that builds muscle or endurance—but picking up, holding, and chasing after little human beings probably does the trick. Chaunté Lowe, the US Olympics trials champ in the high jump, said that she can lift more now that she's a mom: "Before the birth, the highest weight I could squat was 225 pounds. But now I can squat a lot more than that." Lowe can also run faster: she clocked in half a second faster in her 100m race than she did in college.
Plus: Parents of Olympic Athletes on Raising a Champion
The break from training during pregnancy may allow an athlete's body the respite it needs to heal and start fresh. Amy Acuff, who finished third in the high jump trials, said the break did her body good: "You spend your life abusing your body with pounding and overtraining. I think a rest can be very good."
Yet another reason to believe that moms really are superwomen! Do you feel stronger and healthier after giving birth? Leave a comment.

Supporters: Cindy Fisher of Moorefield, who is a nurse at Gothenburg Memorial Hospital, was surrounded by friends and family on Sept. 8 during a Run/Walk to Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer in Omaha. Fisher is one of more than 20,000 U.S. women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year. About 14,000 of those women die annually. There is no early detection test for the disease, medical officials say, only early diagnosis. The event increases awareness about ovarian cancer, celebrates survivors and remembers women who have died from the disease. Pictured are, l-r: Front—Patty Ewald of Curtis, Carolyn Evenson, Fisher, Joyce Clark and Julia Nutt of Chapman; Back—Jessie Little John of Broken Bow, Marsha Engel, Janie Botsch of Omaha, Denise Hoeft of North Platte, Ashleigh Brown, Lani Chapman of Curtis (behind Brown), Heidi Galas, Alisa Crown, Jeane Breuer and Beverly May of Merna.

The exodus of top leaders at American Airlines is growing, a week after parent AMR Corp. filed for bankruptcy protection.
American Airlines said Tuesday that three senior executives will leave the company on Dec. 31.
The airline's top operations officer and the vice president for employee relations will retire, and the chief information officer will resign.
All three will be replaced from within the company.
CEO Gerard Arpey retired last week as AMR filed for bankruptcy protection, a move that Arpey had resisted for several years.
AMR also named Treasurer Beverly Goulet as chief restructuring officer, responsible for coordinating the company's reorganization moves.
The new CEO, Thomas Horton, said that by replacing three top officials with insiders, the latest shuffling at the top would "ensure continuity in each role, while enabling us to broaden our team's experience and capabilities" as the company goes through restructuring.
The changes:
_ Executive Vice President of Operations Robert W. Reding will retire and be replaced by James B. Ream, who will hold the title of senior vice president. He will oversee the airline's flight operations and planning and continue his current job of running maintenance functions.
_ Vice President of Employee Relations Mark L. Burdette will also retire and be replaced by Denise Lynn, the company's vice president of flight service. Burdette oversaw negotiations with American's three unions, and it was the breakdown of talks with pilots that immediately preceded AMR's decision to file for bankruptcy.
_ Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer Monte Ford will resign effective Dec. 31 and be replaced by Maya Leibman, the president of American's AAdvantage frequent-flier program.
Ray Neidl, an analyst with Maxim Group LLC, said that Horton wanted to put his own stamp on the company as the new CEO and clearly felt comfortable with the insiders that he promoted.
"I expect him to bring in some firepower from the outside" in finance and revenue-management jobs, Neidl said.
Analyst Helane Becker of Dahlman Rose & Co. said AMR was streamlining management to become leaner.
AMR listed debt of $29.6 billion and assets of $24.7 billion when it filed for Chapter 11 protection in federal court in New York. AMR hopes to do what rivals United, Delta and US Airways did in the past decade _ cut labor and aircraft costs in bankruptcy to emerge as a lower-cost company.
On Monday American's three labor unions, three banks, Boeing Co., Hewlett-Packard Co. and the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. won seats on the committee that will represent unsecured creditors during the bankruptcy process.
AMR was the only major U.S. airline company to lose money last year, and analysts expect another loss this year. It has lost more than $11 billion since 2001.

Swedes finish 13th.
HOLDREGE—Swede golfers were over-matched at the Holdrege Invite on April 27 as four of the six players were inexperienced in varsity play.
Coach Jim Henke said most of the varsity golfers did not attend since they are limited to 12 events during the season and the Swedes have 13 meets on their schedule.
That inexperience combined with a difficult course left Gothenburg at the bottom of the team standings with a score of 430.
McCook was the meet winner at 318.
The creek running through the first nine holes, two ponds on the back nine and a lot of out-of-bounds areas around the course caused too many penalty strokes, Henke said.
"Despite all the struggles, I hope the guys used this opportunity to play as a learning experience," he said.
Varsity golfer Jeramie VanAcker shot the low score for the Swedes at 93. Matt Marshall carded 99.
R.J. Flohrs of Hastings was the meet medalist with a score of 74.

The reason for this is apparently so that you can use the Microsoft Kinect that is included with the Xbox One to communicate on Xbox Live. So, while Microsoft realizes that the headset is a "got to have" for online gaming, they appear content to make a buck instead and have the attitude that not everyone needs a wired headset.
Microsoft has not announced what they will be selling this wired headset for when it is released with the Xbox One. Also, the company has not yet announced any plans to offer a wireless headset, but we suspect that they will be offering one of these at some point. It seems a little troubling to us that Microsoft has decided not to throw in a wired headset that costs them very little, when Sony has confirmed that they will be throwing in a wired headset as part of the PlayStation 4 package.

RICHMOND, Va. — Some of the biggest health insurance companies in the country are poised to benefit from the debate over expanding Medicaid in Virginia, regardless of its outcome.
If Gov. Terry McAuliffe and the Democratically controlled Virginia Senate prevail and the state expands Medicaid eligibility to about 400,000 low-income residents, the newly insured will be provided private insurance paid for with federal funds.
Insurance companies strongly favor this option.
But even if expansion efforts fail as most Republicans want, private insurance companies will still benefit. That's because the debate over expansion has helped accelerate efforts at routing more of the state's current $8 billion a year Medicaid spending through private insurers.

Fisher Cats' offensive woes continue
By ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
— Offense continued to be a problem for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats on Thursday night, when Bowie pitching held the hosts to seven hits in a 9-2 victory.
The Fisher Cats have failed to score more than three runs in each of their last seven games.
Catcher A.J. Jimenez provided New Hampshire's offensive highlight when he hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh. Right fielder Adam Loewen and first baseman Gabe Jacobo each had two hits for New Hampshire.
Kyle Drabek, who is working his way back from his second Tommy John surgery, made his second rehabilitation start for the Fisher Cats (55-60) and took the loss. He was pulled in the fifth after he threw 65 pitches. Drabek allowed two runs on three hits.
Bowie starter Devin Jones, the No. 18 prospect in the Orioles' organization, held the Fisher Cats to two runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out six and walked two.
It was scoreless until the top of the fifth, when Bowie third baseman Brandon Waring hit a solo home run off Drabek. The Baysox added two more runs in the inning. Kyle Hudson's groundout scored Josh Horton, and Garabez Rosa made it 3-0 when he scored on a wild pitch.
Bowie's lead grew to 6-0 on Trayvon Robinson's three-run home run off Evan Crawford in the seventh. Bowie (58-58) added another run in the seventh when Caleb Joseph hit a sacrifice fly that scored Buck Britton.
Rosa scored from third on a double play in the eighth to make it 8-2, and a Rosa single scored Seth Loman in the ninth to cap the scoring.
The Fisher Cats will begin a three-game series against Richmond tonight (7:05) in Manchester.
The probable starting pitchers are Richmond's Edwin Escobar (3-2, 2.32) and New Hampshire's Marcus Walden (6-12, 3.67).

Notorynchus cepedianus
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Notorynchus cepedianus (Péron, 1807)
|Infra-specific Taxa Assessed:
Common Name(s):
Squalus cepedianus Péron, 1807
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Data Deficient ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
Needs updating
|Compagno, L.J.V.
|Musick, J.A. & Fowler, S.L. (Shark Red List Authority)
This assessment is based on the information published in the 2005 shark status survey (Fowler et al. 2005).
Although wide ranging and moderately common (where not heavily exploited), the Broadnose Sevengill Shark (Notorynchus cepedianus) is restricted to a limited inshore depth range in heavily fished temperate waters and is exposed to intensive inshore fisheries over most of its range. The central Californian stock in the San Francisco Bay area is thought to have been depleted in the early 1980s, but lack of fisheries data elsewhere make it impossible to determine whether this pattern of depletion definitely operates throughout its range.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This shark is wide ranging, appearing in mostly temperate coastal seas worldwide. It has been reported from the following areas:
Western South Atlantic: southern Brazil, Uruguay and northern Argentina.
Eastern South Atlantic and Indian Ocean: Namibia and South Africa, Tristan da Cunha, possibly India and Sri Lanka.
Western Pacific: possibly Siberia, southern Japan, the Koreas, Taiwan (Province of China), China, possibly Vietnam, Australia (New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia) and New Zealand.
Eastern Pacific: British Columbia, Canada, to southern California, USA, also northern Gulf of California, Mexico, off Peru and central Chile.
The species occurs on the continental shelves at depths to at least 136 m, but mostly at less than 50 m and often in shallow water less than 1 m deep and at the surface (Compagno in prep. a).
The Broadnose Sevengill Shark's disjunct distribution suggests that subpopulations may occur at least in the western South Atlantic and eastern South Pacific (possibly continuous across the Patagonian region but this is not certain), Tristan da Cunha, southern Africa (Atlantic and western Indian Ocean), western North Pacific, southern Australia, New Zealand, the eastern North Pacific from British Columbia to southern California, USA and possibly with an isolated subpopulation in the Gulf of California off Mexico (Compagno in prep. a).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Argentina; Australia (New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia); Brazil; Canada; Chile; China; Japan; Korea, Democratic People's Republic of; Korea, Republic of; Mexico; Namibia; New Zealand; Peru; South Africa; Taiwan, Province of China; United States (California, Oregon, Washington); Uruguay

|Habitat and Ecology:
|This large, powerful shark has a diet of other sharks, bony fish, seals and carrion (Last and Stevens 1994). The gestation period is unknown, but may be a year or less. It has relatively large litters; 82 young recorded, with counts of large eggs in ovaries of mature females suggesting a range of 67-104 (Ebert 1996). Born at a size of 40-45 cm, age at maturity is 4-5 years (150 cm) for males and 11-21 years (220 cm) for females (Van Dykhuizen and Mollet 1992). Maximum lifespan is estimated at about 30 years (Compagno in prep. a).
|Major Threat(s):
This shark's flesh is of good quality and it is also taken in some areas for its hide and liver oil. Intensive commercial and sports fisheries in San Francisco Bay targeting it for its fine meat caused a marked local decline in numbers during the early 1980s. It is utilised in China for its skin and liver. Pollution may be a possible threat to inshore bays which are nurseries.
Although wide ranging in temperate waters and moderately common where not heavily exploited (e.g., southern Africa), this large shark has a limited inshore bathymetric range in heavily fished temperate waters and is often concentrated in shallow bays. This exposes it to intensive inshore bycatch and sometimes targeted commercial, sports and semi-commercial fisheries over most of its range, particularly off China, California, Argentina, Namibia and South Africa (Compagno in prep. a). Catch statistics are not reported, except for the west coast of the USA, which show a peak in landings of 1.55 t in 1981 with a sharp decline to less than 0.1 t in 1986 (Compagno in prep. a).
|Conservation Actions:
|There is generally no management of fisheries or protection for this species, although it occurs in at least one marine reserve in South Africa.

Babb honored with distinguished service award
GREENVILLE, NC (June 18, 2005) — Dr. Joseph D. Babb of East Carolina University's Brody School of Medicine has received the Distinguished Service Award from the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions. The award is the highest honor given by the 3,300-member society.
Babb, an interventional cardiologist and professor of medicine, serves as director of the cardiology fellowship training program at the Brody School of Medicine. He is also director of the cardiac catherization laboratories at Pitt County Memorial Hospital. Babb is immediate past president of the North Carolina chapter of the American College of Cardiology and a fellow of the SCAI.
"I was deeply honored to receive this award," Babb said. "Teaching medical students and residents creates an opportunity to have a lasting impact on our profession, as does volunteering in professional associations. I feel enormously privileged to be a physician and believe it's appropriate to give back to my profession in thanks for all it has given me."
The award is presented annually to a SCAI fellow who has worked tirelessly and effectively on behalf of the cardiovascular profession and on the society's mission of advancing the field of invasive/interventional cardiovascular care for patients. Babb received the award in May at the 28th annual Scientific Session of the Melvin P. Judkins Imaging Symposium, held in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
"The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University has the good fortune to count Dr. Babb among its faculty. Over many years, Dr. Babb has contributed his knowledge and expertise to our cardiology training program and to the care of patients in eastern North Carolina," said Dr. Wayne Cascio, chief of cardiology in the Department of Internal Medicine at ECU. "In particular, Dr. Babb is well known for his evidence-based approach to patient care and his commitment to the educational mission of the school."
"Dr. Babb represents the highest ideals of SCAI and medicine in general," said Michael J. Cowley, SCAI's immediate past president, who nominated Babb for the award. "In addition to being a skilled cardiologist, Dr. Babb has been an extraordinary advocate for advancing cardiovascular care and fostering the ideals of the cardiovascular profession."
Babb served as society president in 2001-2002. Previously, he headed the group's Continuing Medical Education Committee, spearheading its effort to earn accreditation status for the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education and developing guidelines for SCAI educational programs.
As president, he oversaw a successful effort to expand the society's membership. He also brought together representatives of all the international medical societies focused on interventional cardiology, launching a "cardiology roundtable" to address the common concerns of cardiologists and their patients. The effort led to the development of a new organization, the Coalition of Cardiovascular Organizations, which Babb chaired in 2004.
Babb continues to volunteer and recently chaired the society's advocacy committee. He has become an expert on regulatory and legislative issues and has represented the society numerous times in meetings with government policymakers, according to the society.
The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions is a 3,300-member professional organization dedicated to promoting excellence in invasive and interventional cardiovascular medicine through physician education and representation and advancement of quality standards to improve patient care.

West Texas peanut farmer Andy Timmons said he'll keep his options open as long as possible as he decides on peanut and cotton acreage for 2008.
"If cotton prices go up I may plant more cotton," he said during a recent production meeting in Littlefield. "The decision will be based on crop prices, but either way we go, production costs are up. I want to be flexible. Fortunately, cotton and peanuts work well together and I can switch from one to the other.
"With costs, I don't know how do things cheaper than I do. We've cut as much as we can and I don't know where else to cut."
Fertility may be one option, but not necessarily a good one, said Extension Agronomist Todd Baughman.
"We can look at budgets and show how much we can trim by reducing fertility," he said. "But we can also look at budgets and show how much we lose by reducing yields."
He said fertilizer costs have doubled since last planting season and understands the temptation to cut back. "But maintaining yield is the best way to produce an economical crop. You don't want to dig out of a hole in the middle of the season."
Knowing what's available in the soil and understanding the best sources and application options for fertilizer will improve efficiency, said Extension Agronomist Calvin Trostle.
Trostle put numbers to the nitrogen fertilizer cost increases: Urea is running $550 a ton; anhydrous ammonia (NH3) is at $725 a ton and 32-0-0 liquid is at $420 a ton.
"But remember that peanuts respond better to residual fertilizer. Fertilization of the crop preceding peanuts is important. Also, develop a uniformly high level of fertility through the root zone."
He said fertility research suggests requirements for peanuts, per 1,000 pounds of yield are: nitrogen, 70 pounds per acre; phosphorus, 8 (18 pounds of P205 per acre); potassium, 24 (29 pounds of K20 per acre); calcium, 21; magnesium 9; and sulfur 5 to 6.
He discussed nutrient recommendations for West Texas production.
"Calcium must be taken directly from the soil and adequate calcium must be in the moist pod production zone."
IF soil test calcium levels are less than 600 ppm, then calcium recommendations call for application of gypsum at 600 pounds per acre in a 12-inch to 14-inch band over the row or 1500 pounds per acre broadcast. Liquid calcium applications would best be timed at peak pegging at 10 to 15 gallons per acre with subsequent applications if needed.
But Trostle said Texas A&M tests in West Texas have never shown a measurable yield or grade difference, even on Virginia peanuts.
He said the same holds for foliar fertilizers. Evaluation of nine different products at nine different locations showed no influence on peanut yield though field test methods may have difficulty noting small differences in yield. "We've also seen no comprehensive studies to show petiole testing is reliable in peanuts."
Inoculants are a different story.
"Prior peanut fields in West Texas have minimal carryover of Bradyrhizobium nodulation, and 1999 through 2001 field observations then suggested up to 25 percent of South Plains fields were undernodulated. That's none to 10 to 20 nodules per plant."
Tests showed both granular and liquid inoculants increased nodulation and yield. Liquid inoculants proved better than granular. Trostle said adapting an 8-row planter to apply liquid inoculants in-furrow should be worth the expense. He also said tests indicate that adding nitrogen may reduce peanut nodulation. "Peanut plants are lazy. If a nitrogen source is available they'll pick it up and produce fewer nodules."
He said double rates of granular inoculants improved nodulation and yield but double liquid rates showed no advantage.
Trostle said application and planting process within an inoculant type may be more important than the particular product choice. Planting deeper, for instance, improves performance. He said planting peanuts at 2 inches instead of 1 or 1 ½ inch is better because it minimized the chance the inoculant may not survive in hotter or dryer conditions near the soil surface.
"Evaluate nodulation five to six weeks after planting and consider adjusting mid-season nitrogen application based on the nodulation counts."
For the Texas South Plains counts from zero to 5 nodules per plant six weeks after planting is not good. Fair is 6 to 10; 11 to 15 is good; 16 to 20 is very good; and anything above 20 is excellent. At the upper end, Trostle said growers might consider dropping mid-season nitrogen rates from 75 pounds per acre to about 50. "Assess the situation in mid-June to determine need."
Growers should apply phosphorus prior to a winter cover crop or before planting peanuts. "Reduce broadcast rates by 20 percent if banding the material."
Micronutrient availability of iron, manganese, zinc, copper and boron usually decline as soil pH increases. "Late season foliar treatments seldom result in economic returns," Trostle said.
He said West Texas fields might occasionally be zinc deficient. ("The deficiency is hard to see as visual symptoms would be rare, but we might have an indication of low test zinc based on a soil test.") With low potassium, Texas A&M recommendations call for zinc only if below 0.20 parts per million. With high phosphorus levels, zinc may be recommended.
Iron deficiency, with pale green, yellowing symptoms, may show up with pH higher than 7. Trostle said in this case foliar iron applications may be needed, though it is often difficult to be sure foliar iron actually helps.
Boron deficiencies are rare, Trostle said. "But we have a narrow range between deficiency and toxicity. Though some soil tests often recommend boron, check irrigation water before applying." He said farmers should consider boron levels approaching 0.75 parts per million a red flag.
Trostle said farmers should rely on soil tests to evaluate fertility needs and to control costs. Checking for deep nitrogen also may reduce expenses.

Vet Home budget reworked after proposed cutsBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
June 18. 2013 11:51AM
CONCORD - House and Senate budget writers are doing an about-face on the state Veterans' Home.After both the House and Senate included a $1.5 million reduction in the home's budget over the two-year biennium, budget negotiators are now talking about eliminating the cut and adding about $330,000 to the home's budget after they learned the home proposed asking patients to pay for their own incontinent supplies.Senate Finance Committee Chair Chuck Morse, R-Salem, noted the home used this year's appropriation to pay last year's utility bills."We want to find a way to fund this," Morse said. "Whatever is proper funding, the Senate will support." But he said an audit is needed of the home's financial books.House Finance Committee Chair Mary Jane Wallner, D-Concord, agreed something needs to be done, saying, "We need to get some resolution on this and fund the veterans' home in a way that is appropriate."Home officials had told budget writers they could live with the $1.5 million reduction because of a rate increase and additional federal funding, but lawmakers later learned of the home's precarious financial situation.House and Senate budget writers will discuss the home's funding later Tuesday afternoon when they convene again at 1:30 p.m.The House did agree Tuesday morning to an additional $430,000 reduction to the Judicial Branch budget the Senate proposed.Budget negotiators are trying to reach a compromise on the state's next biennial budget that goes into effect July 1.The Senate approved a budget of $10.7 billion, while the House's budget is $11 billion. Both the House's and Senate's plans spend approximately $2.8 billion in general fund money.Medicaid expansion and a $50 million across-the-board cut in employee compensation and benefits resulting in about 700 layoffs are the major stumbling blocks.Budget writers will discuss revenues this afternoon. The Senate and House are about $40 million firstname.lastname@example.com

In the wake of the tornado that tore through north Minneapolis a year ago, a new group emerged as a leader: the Northside Community Response Team.
The organization was a rare collaboration of dozens of nonprofits. Foundations gave the Northside Community Response Team the largest share of grant money for disaster relief. But some neighborhood groups that have long worked on north side problems say they were cut out of the process. That caused tension in north Minneapolis that lingers as residents try to move on.
Just a few weeks ago, dozens of volunteers swarmed the home of OraLee Law, each working to erase scars inflicted by the tornado.
The storm's winds pushed Law's garage to the ground and tore up her home's roof. Still, she couldn't bear to leave the house where she and her husband raised their children. Nor did she want to leave the neighbors who had looked out for her for decades.
So, Law applied for help from the nonprofit Rebuilding Together Twin Cities. Then she waited — nearly a year.
"I didn't have any money... I didn't think it would take this long but I have a lot of patience and I pray a lot," Law said.
Others are still waiting for help, said Kathy Greiner, Rebuilding Twin Cities executive director.
"As you look around, even just standing here on the street corner, there's still a lot of blue tarps, so there's a lot of work still to be done," Greiner said.
But at the one-year mark, Rebuilding Twin Cities and other nonprofits are running out of grant money for tornado relief, and Law may be among the last to get disaster-specific help. Tornado victims who still need help are now finding themselves among a larger group of north Minneapolis residents who have struggled with poverty for decades.
It's a situation many people saw coming.
In the days after the tornado, about 60 community and nonprofit leaders recognized the time and effort it would take to help a largely low-income community recover from a major disaster. They represented organizations including Urban Homeworks, NorthPoint Health and Wellness, Emerge, and the Minneapolis Urban League.
Those leaders banded together to work under the umbrella of a new organization they called the Northside Community Response Team. They chose Louis King to lead the group.
King, a former Army officer, is CEO of Summit Academy, a north side educational and vocational training program. He said nonprofit leaders put aside previous disagreements to participate in the NCRT.
"You know, they got history with each other. But we overcame that pretty quickly. The storm gave us a project, all right. It brought us together and that's a big deal," King said.
The disaster response required money immediately. Chanda Smith Baker had been CEO of Pillsbury United Communities for just 20 days when the tornado hit. She told her staff she was responsible for the money they were taking from the organization's budget to help tornado victims.
"The reality was that many of us did not have discretionary budgets. We didn't have a nest egg for this type of event," Baker said. "And so it was a little unnerving as we're giving away emergency dollars or providing services that we wouldn't necessarily have funding for."
It didn't help when, in June, the Federal Emergency Management Agency denied Gov. Mark Dayton's plea for funds to help tornado victims. But King said the NCRT never counted on money from the federal government.
"I said to my people from minute one, it doesn't matter about the feds. We're going to do what we got to do to move on. This is our community," King said. "And that's how we treated it. So when it didn't happen — it would've been nice for it to happen — but when it didn't happen, we kept moving and lo and behold we still did the job."
The Minneapolis Foundation gave NCRT its single biggest funding source, a $240,750 grant, in October. Other organizations contributed another $436,373, according to a report to the Minneapolis Foundation by University of Minnesota students in December. NCRT signed a $10,000 contract with the university in December for students to do the work. The report says NCRT helped hundreds of people, although the exact number is unclear.
NCRT spent the largest chunk of money on housing disaster victims — about $161,000. Another $135,100 went toward emergency personal items, according to the report. About 40 percent of households helped by NCRT were headed by single women with children.
When the report was published in February, NCRT had 800 heads of households and a total of 3,173 clients in their database. About 52 percent of the cases were still open; 48 percent were closed.
Jo-Anne Stately, the Minneapolis Foundation's director of grant making, said they were pleased with the Northside Community Response Team's results.
"We're always asking groups to collaborate and I think as funders we can say this was really a collaboration that really did come together — it wasn't necessarily easy or not messy at times — but really did come together to see how they could come up with a coordinated approach to deal with all the high needs and demands that were happening as a result of the tornado," she said. "And I would call that an absolute success."
The Minneapolis Foundation was pleased with the Northside Community Response Team's results and collaboration. But neighborhood groups that have been around for decades say the NCRT wasn't nearly inclusive enough.
Roberta Englund, executive director of the Folwell/Webber-Camden neighborhood organizations, said the Northside Neighborhood Council organized hundreds of volunteers to collect tons of debris and trash after the tornado. But she said when the Northside Community Response Team took the lead role, neighborhood organizations, with their largely white leadership, were cut out of a process mostly run by African American community leaders. Englund says they were never contacted about the NCRT's meetings or activities.
"The NCRT was created out of nothing, with no background in community work at all and the NCRT chose to exclude neighborhood organizations from their structure... It is the traditional north Minneapolis lack of trust," Englund said.
The Rev. Linda Koelman, president of the Webber-Camden Neighborhood Organization, said distributing tornado relief funds in partnership with neighborhood groups would have been more efficient because the groups already had an established network of contacts.
"I think we could've gotten to some people that we know by virtue of living in our neighborhoods. And I think some of the open sores that are left healing might've been avoided."
The NCRT's Louis King says he doesn't work with neighborhood groups because they're dominated by homeowners who focus on housing and crime at the block level. King says the Northside Community Response Team concentrates on the bigger picture of welfare and employment policy.
"Enough of the "Kumbayah" moments, all right? We've had the big group-gropes where people get together and go through all these processes and everybody sees dollar signs ... But all of those efforts have yielded our current result," King said.
The NCRT has shifted away from disaster relief; both it and neighborhood groups now work separately on long-term projects to help the North Minneapolis community.
The Northside Neighborhood Council is working on a project called North First, a redevelopment plan for a unified north side community, including housing, transportation, economic development, and arts and recreation. The project was funded with $600,000 over two years from the city of Minneapolis' Rebuilding of Communities Fund.
NCRT members decided in December to keep their alliance of nonprofits alive and use its momentum to address north Minneapolis' systemic problems. They now have a goal to get north Minneapolis residents jobs so they won't be reliant on county support. Hennepin County awarded NCRT a $150,000 grant for the project.
The people behind the NCRT say the relationships borne in the tornado's aftermath will allow them to help north side residents more effectively than ever before. But the organization does not plan to work with neighborhood groups to make that happen. And neighborhood groups say that's fine with them.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that the club could have signed Tom Ince - but that a move now appears to be 'too complicated'.
The Northern Irishman was speaking after his side's 2-2 draw against Arsenal, when goals from Luis Suarez and Jordan Henderson were not enough to secure victory at the Emirates Stadium.
Post-match questioning understandably drifted towards transfers, with less than 24 hours now left in the January window.
Ince has been heavily linked with a return to Anfield this month, having spent the early part of his career on Merseyside, but Rodgers admitted that whilst Liverpool could have done a deal, it now seems to be a long shot.
"I think it will be difficult – I don't think there will be any more (signings)," said the Liverpool boss when pressed about the possibility of Ince's arrival.
"No, it's not about that (English players being over-priced). It was one where we could have still done the deal, but it looks like it's maybe a bit too complicated at this stage. And, it's about affordability as well. We've only got a certain amount of money.
"If Tom stays at Blackpool, it doesn't mean that he will never come to Liverpool, but maybe in this window it might be a difficult one for us."
Whilst Liverpool appear to have missed out on Ince, the Reds did conclude some business yesterday, with Philippe Coutinho joining from Inter Milan.
The young Brazilian joins Daniel Sturridge as the second signing during the window, and manager Rodgers was more than happy with his business.
"Daniel Sturridge has been absolutely fantastic since he's come in – you see what he's added to the team.
"And, obviously Coutinho coming in is another young player whose got experience, but he's still got a load of potential to come. He's one who can come in and play straight away because he's got the game."

Meet 317 and 318, a young couple in California's Pinnacles National Monument. They are two of only 91 California condors flying free in the state – and only 349 left on Earth. This spring, the birds had no sooner laid an egg in their nest than National Park Service biologist Gavin Emmons rappelled down and swapped it out for a plastic dummy – and then, in March, replaced the dummy with an egg laid in captivity.
The egg snatching is part of a study checking wild eggs for harmful chemicals like the DDT derivative DDE. Swapping also increases chances for a successful hatch; wild eggs are sometimes nonviable (as this one was), and biologists can ensure captive eggs are alive before placing them in the nest. It's the latest phase in a recovery program begun in the mid-'80s, when the condor population dwindled to 22.
The new parents didn't seem to mind. On March 24, the changeling hatched -- the first California condor chick born in Pinnacles in a century.

Jamie Marks Is Dead
Jamie Marks Is Dead is based on a book I love by a writer I love: One for Sorrow by Christopher Barzak. I realized recently that I think of it as the first novel of "our" generation/group of writers — Chris is a few months older than me, and originally introduced me to probably half the writers and editors I know. I read One for Sorrow in manuscript, exhorted Juliet Ulman to buy and edit it for Bantam, and celebrated its publication. Chris sent me a copy with the kindest inscription penned onto its title page that any writer has ever given me. I feel like a kind of distant (crazy) uncle to the book, and thus also deeply protective toward it. I didn't read most of the reviews when it was released for fear that I would seek out any negative reviewers and do terrible things to them that would get me arrested. When I found out it was being made into a movie, I was both excited for Chris and for the higher profile the book would likely gain, and terrified that the movie would just be awful. I mumbled to myself for weeks about the change of title before coming to accept it.
The movie was officially released in some major US cities today, and the distributor is also doing a simultaneous release on video-on-demand (Amazon, iTunes, etc.), so those of us, at least in the US, who can't get to one of the cities it's playing in can still see it. I watched it this morning.
The movie is not awful — far from it — and though at first I had my crazy-uncle fists clenched, ready to pounce on anything that even touched a hair of my beloved nephew's head, it was soon clear that this was a movie made from not only a general understanding of the book, but a profound sympathy with it. They're very different creatures, but if you love One for Sorrow, I think you're likely to love Jamie Marks Is Dead, too.

Notes on Octavia Butler's Survivor
After reading Gerry Canavan's essay on two newly published short stories by Octavia Butler, one of which is a prequel to her 1978 novel Survivor, I decided it was time for me to read Survivor, since though I'd read most of Butler's books, and repeatedly assigned a couple of them in classes, I'd never gotten around to this one.
The problem, however, is that Survivor is a book Butler disavowed and, once she had the ability, she prohibited it from being reprinted. Used copies tend to sell for at least $65 (although one just sold on E-Bay for $15. Alas, I discovered it only after the sale!).
However, I figured I might be able to get a copy through interlibrary loan, and that's how I discovered my university library had a copy. (You can also find a bootleg PDF online if you search for it. But I didn't tell you that.) I went to the library fully expecting that the book did not exist — that it had disappeared off the shelf without anyone noticing, or that for some reason the catalogue was mistaken. But no. It was there: a hardcover without a dust-jacket, in pretty bad condition, its mustard-yellow boards scratched and torn, its corners crushed and frayed, its binding broken. I will be returning it with a note, something to the effect of: "Please take care of this book. It might not look like much, but it is rare. It is valuable. We need it to be preserved."
Having now read Survivor — or, more accurately, having compulsively devoured the novel in two days, which for me is very fast, indeed — what I find myself most wanting to say is exactly that, to whoever will listen: We need this book to be preserved.

How Not to Write a Review, Unless You Want to Sound Like an Insufferable Prig
I know it's been all Snowpiercer all the time here lately, but this time it's not so much about that particular film as about how one reviewer has chosen to write about it, since his choices are ones that I detest in reviews, despite (or perhaps because of) how common those choices are.
I am, in other words, simply here to register a complaint.
There is a good argument to be made that we should not expend any time or attention on bad writing. Life is short, and there's plenty of great writing out there to read. But I am ignoring that argument for the moment, despite all it has to recommend it. Because sometimes something is just such a perfect model of What Not To Do that I can't help but want to scream against it.
The item in question is a review at The Los Angeles Review of Books by Len Gutkin. It is a negative review, but that's not the problem. I'm glad there are negative reviews of Snowpiercer, even though I loved the film, because I am suspicious of anything that seems to garner universal acclaim.
It would be nice, though, if the negative reviews could be something more than, "Waaaaa! I don't like this movie and other people do! I'm right, they're wrong! Waaaaaa! Pay attention to me!"
You think I exaggerate? Let me do something the review does not, and offer a bit of evidence...

Hello fellow members of AntiOnline.com I'm having a
promblem with my Red Hat 9 Linux box. Promblem is,
I am unable to surf the Internet. I'm able to ping
the loopback address (127.0.0.1) and get a good
reply but I cannot ping by IP address (like
216.93.104.x) and also cannot ping by hostname
(like www.google.com) for example. When I try to
ping any host name I recieve this message,
Now, when I ping by IP address (other than theunknown host
loopback address) I recieve this message, immediately
I'm also on a LAN at my home. I have "ADSL" forNetwork is unreachable
Internet service and I have a 4 Port D-LINK
Ethernet Broadband router model DI-604 which uses
DHCP to assign IP addresses to PCs on my LAN.
Now, I'm not able to recieve an IP address from the router. (192.168.0.*) When I
do ifconfig it says IP address 127.0.0.1 no IP
address is being assigned to the system from the router! I recieve a message from the system to "check cable"? So I did, and I even bought a brand new 15 ft Belkin 350mhz CAT5 cable for it today @ Walmart. But I still recieve same messages. Next I checked the PORTS on the DLINK router. I isolated the other PC (red hat box) from the LAN and I used my other PC (windows XP PRO) to check ALL ports on my router and they all got me online so I know my router ports are good. Next I un-installed and re-installed my Linksys NIC card from my PC and activited the NIC card through redhat-config-network it says active but I still am unable to surf the web or ping by IP address. When I try to go to any website it says

To better protect the more than 217 million workers in the EU from work-related accidents and diseases, the European Commission presented today a new Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work 2014-2020, which identifies key challenges and strategic objectives for health and safety at work, presents key actions and identifies instruments to address these.
This new Framework aims at ensuring that the EU continues to play a leading role in the promotion of high standards for working conditions both within Europe and internationally, in line with the Europe 2020 Strategy.
The Strategic Framework identifies three major health and safety at work challenges:
The Strategic Framework proposes to address these challenges with a range of actions under seven key strategic objectives:
The Strategic Framework identifies instruments to implement these actions: social dialogue, awareness raising, enforcement of EU legislation, synergies with other policy areas (e.g.public health, education) and EU funds, such as the European Social Fund (ESF) and the Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI) programme, are available to support the implementation of health and safety rules.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I was on the hostel Galapagos on Christmas, I am really grateful because, they were very friendly with me. They helped me with information about the places that I visited. The room was comfortable and clean.
For a moment I felt like at home, because I shared with them a beautiful moment in the Christmas Dinner.
At the next day, I went out, for going to Otavalo. Mrs. Luz. prepared the breakfast, It was delicious and didn´t feel hunger until the afternoon.
And I was agree with the comments of it, that is the "Best Breakfast in South America".
She said me that the trip was a little long and said me some suggestions about it. Also she called to the taxi for going to the bus station.
I liked the hostel, because it is near for going to everywhere, it is on La Mariscal neighborhood, and also because it is safe, so I didn´t
So if you decide to travel to Quito, I suggest you to rest in Hostel Galapagos.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
The owners dont speak a word of English so unless you are fluent at English or there to immerse yourself in learning Spanish it can be hard to get your pint across at what you are after. They are however the most lovely couple and will go out of there way to help u with any request, using body language and gestures if required! They got my bag fixed for just $3 - no doubt a local persons price! Also internet room locked from 11pm to 7.30am so if you arrive late or get up early you must wait to use internet. My activities started at 8am some days and breakfast served after 7.30am but all days they were still sleeping so you have to knock on their door to wake them up and by the time breakfast is done i often missed out. Also security is really tight which means very very safe but you must wait til thye get up to unlock the front gate and let you out otherwise again they are sleeping and you must wake them up. The rooms are clean though and I had an ensuite room for about $10 so really really well priced. Breakfast is good when you make it and the lovely mother treats you like her own child and even makes her own butter and jam. Stay a few nights and see if its for you whether you wnt to stay on or not, i dont think you will be disappointed just be prepared to wait a while thats all.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
A nice, basic accommodation, with very friendly and polite owners (though they knew less English than I know Spanish, making communication difficult). The breakfast was good and I have no complaints about the room. Unfortunately, the building is old and echoey due to the high ceiling and tiles floors. There is no curfew and you need to buzz in and wait for someone to come and open the gates to get in at night. Some of the cleintelle were extremely inconsiderate, making lots of noise and even watching Friends on the TV at full blast till 4am (too much for me to bear).

In the wee hours of last night (or just after breakfast if you live in Hong Kong), Google's Andy Rubin and Samsung's JK Shin launched the latest version of Android – Ice Cream Sandwich – running on the equally shiny and new Galaxy Nexus handset.
Galaxy Nexus Face Unlock and Android Beam
The 1.2GHz dual-core handset has a stonking great 4.65-inch Super AMOLED screen and a couple of swanky new features. Face Unlock uses the phone's 'redesigned' camera to, you guessed it, unlock the handset, while Android Beam harnesses NFC to share contacts, web pages, maps and even apps with nearby Android devices.
Galaxy Nexus Screen
The Galaxy Nexus is the first outing for Samsung's High Definition Super AMOLED screen, boasting 1280x720-pixel resolution that wouldn't have been out of place on a 32-inch flatscreen a couple of years back. Samsung is also claiming the world's best contrast ratio (100,000:1) and fastest response time (0.01ms).
Galaxy Nexus Build
The design sports a 8.94mm skinniness and a 4.29mm bezel, with a slip-resistant back and no hardware buttons – all navigation is done within the screen, on soft buttons nicked straight from Honeycomb (including that cool multi-tasking control to open recent apps).
Galaxy Nexus Camera
The 5MP camera has near-zero shutter lag, 1080p recording and enough advanced features to have Canon and Nikon quaking, including time-lapse videos, continuous capture panorama, face focusing and video snapshots. For the nautically and meteorologically inclined, there is also an on-board barometer.
When it comes to comms, Samsung is hedging its 4G bets, offering the Galaxy Nexus in both LTE and HSPA+ flavours. Three in the UK will offer the HSPA+ version in time for its network upgrade at the end of the year. The phone starts shipping worldwide in November and will be the only Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) device to launch in 2011.
