Steve Thorp is the fastest windsurfer on Earth |
Wednesday, 25 January 2012 10:24 |
Steve Thorp is now the fastest windsurfer in the world. The British sailor has set a new world speed windsurfing record by reaching the 50.48 knots, at West Kirby, England, on the 3rd January 2012.
"Obviously they couldn't both be right and in the end it was found that the faster time was a spike due to the gps loosing a satelite or two for a few moments, possibly due to the extreme acceleration and chop, combined with the weather", explains Steve Thorp. "This shows the importance of wearing two gps and getting the tracks looked at and ratified by the experts. Obviously I'm beyond chuffed with that." Thorped is a 76-kilogram sailor and always wears 12kg of lead to "supersize" himself. The speed windsurfer sailed at West Kirby with a 40-wide Moo Custom, 4.6/5.0/5.5 Simmer SCR sails, one boom and a couple of K4 fins. "I do struggle to sail a tight course as the gusts try to open up the sail and lift me off my feet, and sometimes I feel like I just don't have the levers to drive the board to it's max". "But my solution to this has always been to bear off and go 'with the wind'. It's possible that my light weight actually helps with the max speed as I'll theoretically be quicker to accelerate", tells the Thorpedo. |

Well -- -- awful at another federal agency today this time the allegations are coming from agents with the immigration and customs enforcement agency -- known it better known as ice.
A top official is now on a voluntary leave of absence amid a growing scandal at the agency.
Here's a story.
They head of New York's ice or.
Ice office is suing the Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano.
Accusing her of turning the agency didn't into a female run a frat house.
The suit alleges secretary -- volatile promoter female friends even if they were qualified for the job.
Statements from two sworn affidavits allege that this woman the ice chief of staff made sexual advances and graphic remarks to co workers.
About their crutches.
The comments are not suitable for daytime television but you can read the entire complained at foxnews.com.
The agency confirms it opened an internal review into those charges while the chief of staff is on leave.
As for that lawsuit against secretary -- -- and I spokesman calls the claims unfounded.
Let's turn to -- into political reporter Aaron -- from real clear politics dot com she's live and Kapalua what do you know about this thing.
Well basically I've -- -- the administration today and the White House is saying nothing they're saying that they don't know very much about it -- have referred to the fact that there is an investigation going on and they don't want to be saying anything about it until the investigation is over.
What I think I have heard is that the man who's making these allegations.
Was potentially upset because there are relocation costs that he was not paid -- so he is -- -- of set in and and making -- these allegations as results of that.
You know exit and quite frankly some of these allegations and the actual words that were used were used on our air earlier in the day and I guess our producer had a problem whether or something but I read -- -- If anybody's ever been in I don't know it's not like they were appropriate but to suit the it to -- -- Paula -- over.
Over a couple of things some people said it just seems almost it seems preposterous is what it -- It's potentially over the top that's for sure how ever.
If these allegations are true and it was going on and -- -- kind of knew about it and that is a problem for her and -- not would then become a political problem for the administration if she is presiding of our workplace environment like.
Yet I hear that do you know.
Women have been degraded in the workplace for much longer than most of us would like to remember.
I mean it it happens became what it does their investigations and the people responsible for it.
Usually get a good bit of trouble this time the tables are turned you wonder why would go all the way to the top of the agency but I hear you it's about.
A culture and overall culture and if that cultures and miss than the person in charge of the culture I guess gets targeted.
That's exactly right all right parents could say you have -- -- say they keep you.

With massive amounts of untapped renewable energy and energy efficiency potential hidden within the burgeoning economies of developing countries across the world, Worldwatch Institute's low-carbon development strategies project provides nations with advice on crafting policies that unlock these potentials and establish effective deployment strategies. Worldwatch will initially focus on the Caribbean and Central American regions and then extend the approach to other municipalities, provinces, and countries elsewhere. |
About Sustainable Energy Roadmaps | |||
Transitioning from a carbon-intensive economy to a low-carbon future presents challenges and opportunities for developing countries. Our Sustainable Energy Roadmaps help countries successfully navigate the change to an infrastructure capable of meeting the energy challenges of the 21st century. Our approach involves examining a country's renewable resources potential for renewable energy production such as wind, solar, small hydropower and biomass. We also analyze existing energy infrastructure to identify the potential for, and hurdles to, increased efficiency and energy storage. This technical analysis also allows us to catalog the grid enhancement and extension that increased use of renewable energy could require. At the same time, we look at the current socio-economic and policy environments to identify barriers to low-carbon development and rely on international best practices to suggest how they can be overcome. Equally important, we analyze funding options that might be available from private, public, and multilateral institutions to help bring renewable energy projects into being. The project strengthens government and civil society capacity, enhances stakeholder engagement, and advances policies that combat climate change. By collaborating with local stakeholders in each country, Worldwatch produces concrete Low-Carbon Energy Roadmaps that empower them to reduce dependence on fossil fuel imports, local pollution, greenhouse gases, and long-term energy costs. At the same time, the roadmaps lead to new business opportunities and high quality jobs. | |||

Dorchester community leaders are worried about the future of Carney Hospital after the abrupt departure last week of its president, Bill Walczak, a long-time neighborhood activist who was hired by Carney's new owner only 14 months ago. Walczak took issue with a spokesman for Steward Health Care System, the parent of Carney, who said last Friday that Walczak had resigned from his post. "I did not resign from the Carney Hospital,'' Walczak said Wednesday. He declined to elaborate on the circumstances behind his leaving the 186-bed hospital.

John Dettori, director of Dining Services for Lackmann Culinary Services at Tiffany & Co. in New York and New Jersey, admits he is a "talker." It is this skill, he says, that has made him adept at customer service throughout his more than two decades in foodservice. His work managing three Tiffany & Co. dining centers, (one in New York City and two in New Jersey) earned him the honor of being named Lackmann Culinary Services' Manager of the Year in November 2009
"John has done some amazing things within our cafeteria operation, bringing it to the next level over this past year with promotional and theme days," says Ron Pedersen, district manager for Lackmann Culinary Services. "Our guests are excited when visiting our café operations because they know they will always be served by a friendly team member. During the past year our café operations were showing a loss, but with menu improvements, staff training and guest relations the account has seen major improvements in the year-to-date financials and it's all because of John's vast knowledge of the foodservice industry."
Renovation revolution: Dettori says of all his accomplishments with Tiffany's, one he is most proud of is the gut renovation he managed when he took over the account five years ago.
"When I first came to Tiffany's, I went into the New York City location and we gutted it," Dettori says. " We went from concrete floors and steel beams and built it from the floor up. I've opened a lot of cafeterias, but that one was literally from the ground up. I never had the experience of helping decide 'are we going to tile this, are we going to paint that?' When I got there, I worked with the area coordinator and we came up with the layout of the floor. Originally they wanted an open grill, but they wanted only a certain number of staff so I told them an open grill wouldn't be possible. So we didn't go with an open grill. I like to give service, but I like to give service more when customers will actually receive it. Since the renovation, that location went from selling about $500 a day to about $1,000 per day, which has since declined to about $800 per day because of recent layoffs."
The renovation in the city also prompted calls for environmentally friendly disposables, to which the company responded by rolling out a compostable disposables program that launched last month.
"The Going Green program really started five years ago when we opened the Manhattan cafeteria and people were saying, if you're opening this beautiful facility, we should make some 'green' changes," Dettori says. "They ended up pushing all the right buttons and finally Tiffany's came in and made a tremendous investment in these disposables. The regular plastic forks are about $20 per case. The corn resin forks are like $45 per case, and we go through a lot of them because we use almost 100% disposables in the city. In New Jersey, I'm pushing for half disposables and half china, but for whatever reason people like the disposable containers. We had unbelievable feedback leading up to the program's first day. There were people running up to me saying they were so happy we finally made the switch."
Watching costs: Dettori says he always knew he wanted to be work with food.
"My grandmother was a lunch lady and she was a fantastic cook," Dettori says. "All my brothers and sisters can cook. That's how we grew up. From that I always knew this was what I wanted to do."
After working in restaurants during his teenage years, he graduated from Johnson & Wales with a culinary management degree. After graduation, Dettori worked in several restaurants on Long Island before taking a job with Lackmann Culinary Services.
"I didn't even know this part of the business existed," Dettori says. "I had a roommate from college who was an area coordinator for Lackmann, and he said, I have a job for you if you want it. I worked at the Bank of Tokyo, which was very high end. I worked at the New York Stock Exchange, where I got to serve Martha Stewart after she rang the bell. After that I went to the Rockefeller Foundation, where I got to serve President Carter, Bob Vila and Yo Yo Ma. Then five years ago, I came to Tiffany's, and they've wanted me to stay ever since."
Dettori says it was his background as a chef that allowed him to help decrease Tiffany's subsidy by $40,000 last year. Through changes in staffing and reconfiguring the menu mix, Dettori says he was able to help reduce the subsidy.
"Decreasing the subsidy was a lot about staffing changes and looking at the menu mix and reeling that in a little bit," Dettori says. "When you cut back on staffing and on the menu mix you don't want people to notice. Fortunately, I have a real culinary background so I'm able to switch things out without anyone really noticing. My chefs are able to do the same. Instead of using sirloin, we're using hanger steak—things like that."
Pedersen was also impressed with how Dettori decreased the subsidy.
"Because of the downsizing of the population at Tiffany & Co., we have seen an effect on our dining services, causing a reduction in customer counts," Pedersen says. "Through redesigning our menus, combo deals being offered, cross-training our team members and watching overall costs, John greatly helped in the reduction in subsidy."
Serving satisfies: Dettori says customer service comes naturally to him because of his many jobs in the service industry. He looks at mentoring as just another way he can provide service to a different customer: his staff.
"I just show the less experienced staff proper cooking techniques such as proper knife skills," Dettori says. "It's nothing formal. I hire people that I know have ability and then I'll push them as far as I can. Everyone here was trained before I got here, but I have taught chefs how to do some manager's skills as well, which is not always so easy with someone from the kitchen. I really enjoy that. I think these days people are afraid to give colleagues skills for fear of them taking their jobs. If I teach my staff then they will have the knowledge and the capability to move up."
This love of mentoring plays into Dettori's management philosophy.
"My management philosophy is to let people do their jobs," Dettori says. "I hire them to do a job and I let them do it. I can guide them and show them what I think is most important, which is customer service and really good food, but if they're not on board with that, they aren't going to be as successful. I'm very fortunate that in all three locations I'm working with people who have been with the company for a long time; they have that Lackmann philosophy of outstanding customer service."
Another successful aspect of Dettori's focus on customer service is his promotions. Daily promotions such as noodle bowls, and themed days such as a Feast of San Gennaro have been very popular.
"Our biggest promotion is our monthly raffle," Dettori says. "If a customer spends $5, they get a ticket. They can get as many tickets as possible and at the end of the month we have a drawing and they can win anything from a bicycle to an iPod. It's interesting because it's hard to do that type of stuff in the city because those customers are looking for a more relaxing atmosphere. So we try to cater our promotions to each location."
Pedersen says Dettori's customer service-oriented attitude is what really makes him a success.
"Whenever there are issues, problems or concerns John is always the first to volunteer to assist and resolve the problems quickly," Pedersen says. "He works extremely hard to make sure his clients receive the special attention that they deserve. On a daily basis John is always working one on one with his front- and back-of-the-house team members, training them and bringing them up to the next level in which they can grow within our company. Our Tiffany & Co. clients are very excited about having John operate their dining services. The guest survey scores have gone up and the atmosphere of the dining experience has been nothing but extraordinary."

1 December 2013: The Observer – Out of the lab, off to market: a high tech blueprint for UK recovery
Jennifer Rankin (Observer reporter) writes on how universities in the UK need to start commercialising innovations that emerge out of their research. She suggests there is a fear that certain discoveries – such as graphene – might be made in the UK, but are commercialized abroad. However, Quentin Tannock notes that despite the UK accounting for under 1% of graphene patenting that 'Graphene is a very complicated technology with a huge number of uses. Patents only tell a small part of the story'. You can read the article on the Guardian website.
16 September 2013: BBC Panorama – Tax, Lies and Videotape
Richard Bilton (Panorama reporter) presents a documentary on the United Kingdom's corporation tax policies. Using evidence from extensive CambridgeIP research, commissioned by BBC Panorama into patent activity internationally, within Europe and within the UK, the BBC suggested that the Patent Box tax initiative may ultimately work more to the benefit of large multinationals than small companies. CambridgeIP's research for the BBC found that around 60% of patent applications made at the European Patent Office (EPO) in 2011 were made by just 50 organisations. You can watch the full programme on BBC iPlayer.
24 August 2013: Wonder Material Ignites Scientific Gold Rush
Gautam Naik (Science journalist) reports on the global race for value from graphene, and on CambridgeIP's graphene patent landscape research which reveals a surge in graphene patent filings around the world. The WSJ article reports that there have been over 9,200 graphene patents filed globally, with Chinese entities having now applied for the most graphene patents ahead of players in South Korea and the USA. South Korean firm Samsung is the largest single graphene patent applicant, followed by USA based IBM.

16 January 2013: Graphene: Who is up, who is down and why we should care about this
Tom Standage (Digital Editor) and Jan Ptrowski (Online Science and Technology Editor) discuss graphene, graphene's future applications and CambridgeIP's graphene patent research in detail – outlining numbers of graphene patents filed around the world and CambridgeIP's graphene patent landscape findings. The Editors discuss China's graphene patent activity, Samsung Electronics graphene R&D and possible reasons for a rise in graphene patent activity in Asia. View the YouTube video here.
15 January 2013: Graphene: Patent surge reveals global race
CambridgeIP Chairman, Quentin Tannock was interviewed today on the BBC News at Ten and on the BBC's flagship radio news programme The Today Programme. Quentin discussed CambridgeIP's analysis of the rapidly developing graphene patent landscape, which shows a surge in global patent filings from 2007 and a high level of patent activity in Asia especially South Korea and China. Nobel Prizewinner Professor Andre Geim from Manchester University was also interviewed, commenting on the potential of graphene technologies and the gap between academia and industry in Europe.

15 January 2013: Graphene research moving abroad
In an article titled 'Graphene research moving abroad' the Telegraph have covered CambridgeIP research into the graphene patent landscape. The Telegraph article discusses the view that the 'Super-material graphene was invented in Britain but research is progressing faster abroad'. In the online article consumer Technology Editor Matt Warman quotes CambridgeIP research stating "China and the Korean technology giant Samsung are now leading the way, despite Britain funding extra research by our own academics. UK businesses and universities have 54 patents, compared to 2,204 from China, 1,754 from America and 2,204 from China". To read the full article, click here.
15 January 2013: Graphene race could still be won by UK
Sky News draws on CambridgeIP research and an interview with Quentin Tannock (Chairman, CambridgeIP) to conclude that "Countries like China appear to be leading the way in developing the "super-material" graphene, but the UK remains a contender". Quentin Tannock told Sky News: "The race for value from graphene is far from over. Graphene is a very complex technology space. The graphene race is more of a marathon than a sprint. And in my view the winners of the race for value from graphene will be the smart rather than the swift. UK inventors have a well-deserved reputation for being highly innovative, and there is much room in the graphene patent landscape for the UK to develop world leadership around key aspects of graphene technologies. However, UK-based innovators and UK policymakers must understand how very intense international competition around graphene is and how the UK, and UK innovators, must compete to win".

15 January 2013: Graphene: Patent surge reveals global race
The BBC's Science Editor David Shukman quoted CambridgeIP research on the BBC website, together with extracts from an interview with Quentin Tannock in an online story titled 'Graphene: Patent surge reveals global race'. Commenting on CambridgeIP's graphene patent landscape figures, The UK's Science Minister David Willets said that the figures show that "we need to raise our game". Quentin Tannock noted that "Britain has a reputation for being very canny, having very good inventors, so the race isn't over."

15 June 2012: Graphene: Invented in the UK, largely being developed elsewhere
The Financial Times published an article discussing the UK's current market position in the commercialisation of graphene technology. By comparing graphene journal publications as indicators of academic research, to graphene patent publications as indicators of commercialisation capability, the article comments on the potential of graphene technology in the UK concluding that 'The continent is good at producing cutting-edge scientific research, but is not so good at turning it into marketable product'.
The article drew on CambridgeIP research and findings in the report 'Patenting flatland: Graphene – Exploitation challenges and opportunities' and quotes Quentin Tannock (Chairman) of CambridgeIP about graphene patent activity in China, "Quentin Tannock… notes a recent surge in China, where 208 patents were filed in 2010 compared with 145 in the US. He says the patents are filed in China by national and international corporations first, which recognises it as an important market."

Abstract: As a result of the affiliation of the colleges of education (COE)in Botswana to the University of Botswana, the libraries attached to the colleges were assessed with a view to finding out if they met the standards recommended for college libraries. Thus, the guidelines recommended in "College Library Standards, 1995 edition" were used in assessing the the six colleges surveyed. The main factors used in assessing the libraries were: mission statement, collection, staffing, budget, technical services/materials organisation, library services, library administration and facilities. The findings revealed that most of the factors enumerated above were found to be inadequate in the six college libraries surveyed. Recommendations were made to all stakeholders to ensure that the libraries were considerably improved to enable them to perform the functions for which they were established.

Welcome to the home of
Thanks to all the radio producers/hosts/DJs for playing music from Time. Both the title track (#7) and the album (#11) are climbing on the Bluegrass Unlimited National Bluegrass Survey, and several songs/tunes are getting substantial airplay as reported on the folkdj-l. This is all very exciting!
We've gotten comments from a number of radio folk -- see below -- as well as some early reviews, which are on the PRESS page. Thanks to all for listening and for the kind words!
Hope to see you soon - Kathy, Annie, Tom, Greg, Cary
Time pays homage to the classics from our musical heroes and adds to the tradition with original material from Kallick, Bekeny, and Booth. This is a top-notch band lead by a woman with the warmest, richest voice in our music today.
- Katy Daley, WAMU's Bluegrass Country
Kathy Kallick's latest release, Time, could have very well been titled "Timeless," as that describes the inherent appeal of the fourteen tracks selected for the recording. Her rendition of classics by Bill Monroe, The Delmore Brothers, Arthur Smith, and Vern and Ray contains a musical respect for the past that will please the most demanding traditionalist, yet each tune is embossed with a pleasing aural presentation that is totally contemporary. Although Kathy's homage to the past is highly commendable, it's actually her four originals (Time, Fare Thee Well, Bird, and Lulu and Jack) that push Time into the "Timeless" zone. Each of the songs penned by Kathy contain the seeds from which classics of the future are grown. Time is pure "Kallick Magic" and recommended for all discriminating music lovers.
- Wayne Bledsoe, Bluegrass Saturday Night - KMST (Rolla, MO)
- Jon Weisberger, Blue Side Of Town – Sirius XM
With Time, the Kathy Kallick Band has surpassed their own high standards. Kathy and the group provide a range of musical experiences from the hilarious to thoughtful to sacred. She is grounded in bluegrass but has her own delightful distinctive style. Great picking too!
- Arthur Berman, Pacific Pickin' - CiTR (Vancouver, BC)
- Jeff Parker, Forward Roll Bluegrass Show
- John Weingart, Music You Can't Hear On the Radio - WPRB (Princeton, NJ)
On my show today I played a song from the Kathy Kallick Band's new release Time. What an ejoyable album this is to play. This is down-homey, old-timey bluegrass as it should be played: for fun!
- Menachem Vinegrad, Worldwaves - Radio Upper Galilee (Israel)
Kathy is not only a legend in west coast bluegrass circles, she continues to perform at an extremely high level as her latest CD Time proves. Whenever I need a really good song for my radio show, a strong female lead vocal performance and some top notch picking, this album delivers.
- Wayne Rice, Bluegrass Special - KSON (San Diego, CA)
I first started paying attention to Kathy because of her wonderful voice. Then, of course, I also found out she writes fine songs. One of the other things I love about Kathy is the variety of music she does -- and her new CD, Time, is an example of all the great things she always offers.
- Mike Flynn, The Folk Sampler
The Kathy Kallick Band's newest release Time showcases a group of stellar artists whose music just seems to get better and better with each new batch of recordings. She and her band are West Coast treasures. If you've never heard them before, Time is a great place to start.
- Frank P. Hoppe, Bluegrass, Etc. - KCSN (Northridge, CA)
- John McLaughlin, Roots & Wings - WMUC (College Park, MD)
- Allan Nelson, Twangfest - CuillinFM (Isle of Skye, Scotland,U.K.)
- Gwendolyn Reischman, In the Pines - CFRO (Vancouver, BC)

About Josh
Well, rap sucks and I've heard things about Baltimore. So yeah, still funny.
Don't worry about it. I know how we can tend to say things we don't mean when under too much stress. Thanks for the offer, but I intend to stay in the Air Force until retirement.
I can in fact edit some more for you. For instance:
*any more
You are free to type however you choose, however you may obtain more credibility and respect if you follow standard English language conventions. I'm not upset, merely trying to help. As to what I'm doing with my life, I'm in the United States Air Force, so if you can think of something more useful I'm open to suggestions.
"Blog" shouldn't be capitalized.
*for the web design, software development, and SEO
Seriously. Dude. It's "bully", not "Bully".
No capitalization on attorney, either of them. Or attorneys.
*publicly that Ed
Commas before and after "Anonymous Coward".
*"in crowd" that
Neither pretenders nor wannabes should be capitalized.
*I do think Aaron Wall and Jim Boykin are good SEO experts
*one of these
Run on sentence. Your homework for tonight is to figure out where the period goes.
*negative, unfair
I'll just rewrite this part again. "My company started in 1987, before the Internet existed. We have a stellar ranking in Dunn & Bradstreet and you have a bunch of people reading your articles that are very unhappy with Charles Carreon. So why let truth and integrity stop you, just bully everyone into not defending the truth."
*We have had
*cheat and rip
*you will see
Yet again, do not capitalize "attorney".
Lowercase b on bully, my friend. Why are you fixated on this mistake?
A couple of long ones, eh? Well, first things first.
*deserve to be burned
There should be no comma before like, but there should be an "a" between witch and warlock, which should not be capitalized.
There should be a comma after "Also".
"Blog has no reason to be capitalized unless that is the name of your blog. (I must admit, I did not check.)
I just rewrote this bit for you. It seemed easier that way. "The answer is that Google does not like some of my articles and has completely deleted them in the past. After I complained to Matt Cutts he did put my articles back, but just in case Google tries to shut off my freedom of speech again, I figure it is better to have them penalize Blogger, the business they own."
"Attorney" should not be capitalized.
Once again, bully is not capitalized.
There should be a sentence break after bully, not a comma.
Switching it up, I see. This time you forgot to capitalize something. "Report" is what you forgot.
This seems like a run on sentence, try breaking it up after "I could care less".
You can go on the internet at a bar, isn't that kind of the same thing?
No errors in this one! Gold star for you. :)
*Quit looking
Your friendly neighborhood Grammar Nazi here again.
*your problem
internet troll should not be capitalized, emphasis is more efficiently expressed with either italics or bold tags. (As a side note, getting flustered and lashing out is the entire goal of trolls, so the best way to deal with them is to not respond at all.)
*Alan and I
This may be a matter of personal preference, but I would put a "long" in between "industry" and "before".
Dude, check out the Space Jam website. http://www2.warnerbros.com/spacejam/movie/jam.htm
The intended meaning of this one perplexed me a bit, but I think I understand what you're trying to say. I believe you accidentally put the sentence you intended for the body of the comment in the subject field. There should also be a comma after "Yes" and a "you" or an "I", depending on your meaning.
A few grammar issues in this one, but no worries mate I got your back.
There should be a comma between yes and Charles. "Yes, Charles Carreon..."
There is no reason to capitalize "bullies", as it is not a proper noun.
You put a blank line between each line of your comment except for the last one. This is inconsistent. I suggest removing the period after bullies and adding an "and".
I realize it's harder to spell when in a blind fury, but that's what we have spellcheck for. Though judging by your less than artfully constructed sentences I'm guessing maybe English isn't your first language?
Speaking of the miracle berry...
(This comment has been removed due to non-payment of charges)
...Bart? BART?! Really?! It's not like his name was one of the most publicized and recognizable names in the tech WORLD for a while or anything!

This is a really nice addition to the Craftsman line. The long handle allows you to get much more leverage compared to the standard ratchet or getting a 1/2" drive ratchet. Sure, there are better ratchets like this out there, for example, the Snap-On FL80 which I also own, but not everyone wants to spend over $100 on a ratchet. This Craftsman is very good, but some may complain about the lack of teeth in the head. I do agree that it is a problem. 36 teeth isn't enough by standards, but for most people, including myself, it gets the job done just fine. I use the Snap-On (80 tooth) for the really tight jobs where you need finer gears for less swing, but I now find myself using the Craftsman more. As far as engagement or slippage under load, I can't say I've experienced any problems. I'm going to assume if it slips, you are applying too much torque, and should be using a 1/2". If anything I can complain about is that Craftsman is migrating to Taiwan and China, rather that the USA. Am I disapointed? Yes. Does it bother me? Not too much. The warranty is still the "Forever Warranty" and the build quality appears to be the same. So as long as I have a Forever Warranty, I don't care too much. Long term durability it to be determined though. *On a side note, I have 100% working Craftsman tools from the 20's and 30's yet. Hopefully these "new" ones last just as long."

it got me out of tight poistion
Fort Mill, SC
Yes I am strong, but I should not have been able to break this ratchet by hand power only. The finish is pretty but that is where the quality STOPS. Had to use a 20 year old S-K tools ratchet to finish the job.
Freeport, IL
44833 - is another member of the 36 tooth teardrop family in the Craftsman Full Polished Line. You'll find that with an 11 inch handle some of those hard to reach fasteners are no longer an issue. You need to remember that it is a 36 tooth ratchet and as such requires a 10 degree swing to engagement For those of you concerned as to the Country Of Origin of the current offering of this ratchet, there is no need for concern. Prior to the submission of this review I took a close look and found it to be on par with the previous ratchet.
New Caney, TX
via sears.com
Great sturdy ratchet for getting tough small bolts out. Ratchet has a longer handle with a great design and feel. Other long handle ratchets can cost up to 150$ and do not have the ez return warranty of Craftsman. I have used and broken many other tools, but the local sears stores just make it easy to replace and get any other tools I need to get the job done.
Oil City, PA
via sears.com
very nioce ratchet very fine tooth so better in smaller hard to get places and not haviong to hold onto the socket as much and nice for the extra leverage without having to go and get a 1/2 drive ratchet or a piece of pipe lol and that alwys tend to break them or bend the handles
Bear, DE
Picked mine up today 12/13/11 and am overall impress. Seems to have the same guts and teeth count as the basic line 3/8th ratchet. The extra length make leveraging the action a lot better. Only complaint and seems to be affecting the other ratchets, is that it is "Made in Taiwan" and not made in the USA anymore. Still paid the USA price as before though.
Deer Lodge, TN
via sears.com
Even though they are not made the way they used to be, they are still good products for the price... This is not a great rachet, but it is a good one for daily use by professional mechanics.... This was actually a replacement rachet..

MARTIN, Tenn. – Senior defensive tackle Montori Hughes and senior wide receiver Quentin Sims have been named to the 2012 The Sports Network/Fathead.com FCS All-America Teams announced earlier Monday afternoon.
Hughes, who transferred to UT Martin from Tennessee, finished the regular season with 42 tackles, 8.5 TFLs, four sacks and 13 quarterback hurries.
The Murfreesboro native was named to the The Sports Network/Fathead.com FCS second team All-America defensive squad.. He was also named to the Ohio Valley Conference first-team defense.
Sims, also an All-OVC first team selection, was named to The Sports Network/Fathead.com FCS All-America third team.
Sims had 86 catches for 1,092 yards and 16 touchdowns. The 16 touchdowns in one season is a new OVC record.
The Skyhawks wrap up the season with an 8-3 overall record, which is tied for the best winning percentage (.727) in the OVC. That mark also ranks as the second-highest winning percentage in FCS program history, behind only the 2006 OVC championship team which went 9-3.
In conference play, UT Martin tied a program record with six OVC victories against only two losses. The Skyhawks racked up 39.9 points per game against league opposition and defeated OVC regular season champion Eastern Illinois by a 51-37 margin on Oct. 6 – the Panthers' only conference loss of the season.

By TOMMY HOWARD, firstname.lastname@example.com
Port of Georgetown business is getting a nice shot in the arm.
South Carolina State Ports Authority vice president Byron Miller announced Friday morning that Metglas Inc. of Conway will have its first shipment of steel billets arrive in Georgetown on Nov. 6.
The electrical component manufacturer will import steel from Canada to the Port of Georgetown and then truck them to the Conway plant as needed.
Initial plans call for six ships to bring 17,000 tons of steel a year through Georgetown.
That's the first incoming shipping contract in a decade, officials said at a gathering at the South Carolina Maritime Museum on Front Street in Georgetown.
See the next issue of the Georgetown Times for much more on this contract and its impact on the city and county.

It's a calling so strong that Merchant has come out of retirement to lead the Canton Police Department as its new chief.
Merchant on Thursday formally began his new role as the chief of the department, which has weathered external and internal storms over the past six months.
Merchant, who retired as the police chief from Altamonte Springs, Fla., in September, said he's looking forward to bringing his passion of serving the public to the Cherokee County seat.
"Public service has been something I've thoroughly enjoyed," he said.
Merchant on Friday will begin meeting with Canton police employees and sworn officers to talk with them about their career aspirations and get a glimpse of how they feel about the agency.
He said he prefers to lead in a participatory style, which involves employees, sworn officers and those in management.
"(The interviews are) an opportunity for me to assess the organizational climate and the level of the job satisfaction of the employees in the agency," Merchant said. "I really think that based on conversations with
employees and managers, I truly believe they are welcoming this type of leadership."
Merchant joins the department months after it was shaken by the abduction and murder of 7-year-old Jorelys Rivera.
A report completed by LaGrange Public Safety Chief Louis Dekmar also made public the critical mishaps the department committed in the hours and days after the Canton child was abducted and killed in the River Ridge at Canton apartment complex where she lived.
The report followed the resignation of former Police Chief Jeff Lance.
Merchant said he's reviewed Dekmar's report and that he's been informed the policy revisions and updates recommended have been implemented.
Maintenance worker Ryan McCabe Brunn, 20, pleaded guilty to Rivera's murder and was sentenced to life in prison without parole, but hanged himself two days after his plea at a state prison in Jackson.
The department also came under the microscope when a video surfaced of City Manager Scott Wood being pulled over by former Canton Police Officer Daniel Henley for speeding and failure to maintain lane after a March Canton City Council meeting.
The video raised questions after the officer, who later resigned, let Wood go without a ticket after turning the audio off when the city manager told the officer who he was.
Henley later reportedly indicated he was caught in the middle of a conflict between Wood and Assistant Chief Todd Vande Zande and accused Vande Zande of doing anything to get the position.
Vande Zande had been serving as the interim chief at the time and was one of 43 candidates for the top position.
Merchant said he is already impressed by the department.
He also said he wants to work with the department's training coordinator to outline a long-term training plan.
While he said he'd "like to have some flexibility" to provide training for officers, Merchant said he understands he would have to go through the budget process with City Manager Scott Wood before anything is set in stone.
While in Florida, the police chief said he was able to make community policing a big portion of his department's duties and he wants to bring the same approach to Canton.
Merchant said he wants to focus on a strategic plan that involves bringing in the community and other law enforcement agencies to combat crime.
"Crime has no boundaries, so we also involved the sheriff's office and citizens who came to the meetings," he said. "It really worked out well. I think it opened the lines of communications. Anytime you can take advantage of that, your organization is better off in the long run."
Wood said Merchant "impressed me as being customer-service oriented and committed to establishing performance measures within the department, all while maximizing the overall safety of our city."
He also said he'd hope to see the department improve its professional credentials.
"He is already invigorating the entire department and I have seen firsthand the enthusiasm with which his leadership has been welcomed throughout the ranks," he said. "He is very straightforward and will be exactly what is needed for our department and our city."
Canton Mayor Gene Hobgood said he's looking forward to working with Merchant and is also eager to see his plans for the department.
"I want to make sure we work toward having the finest police department we can possibly have," he said.
Merchant served in the United States Marine Corps between 1976 and 1980 where he was assigned to the security detachment for the Presidential Helicopter Squadron.
He joined the Altamonte Springs Police Department in 1980 and has been a commander of the department's investigations bureau and deputy chief of the management support bureau and the operations bureau.
He was named police chief in 2002.
Merchant obtained a bachelor's degree in business administration from Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., in 1984, graduated from the FBI National Academy in 1994 and graduated from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Senior Leadership Program in 1997 and its Chief's Executive Seminar in 1998.
He obtained a master's degree in criminal justice from the University of Central Florida in 2002.
Merchant and his wife, Donna, have two adult children and one grandson. He and his wife are also planning to purchase a home in the Canton area.
Merchant said he's looking forward to getting to know the residents and stakeholders in Canton.
He also said that while he understands the skepticism some may have of the department in the aftermath of the Rivera murder, the department will become more visible in the community.
"I truly believe that while there are some things the department could have done better, the department's employees are committed to not only their jobs, but are committed to serving the organization and the public," he said.

The Adult Respite Group had a great time this week! They were treated to an "Old Boca Grande Fish Fry" luncheon served in the Woman's Club room.
Fresh mackerel was fried and served with hush puppies, cole slaw, baked beans and a delicious dessert. Every bite was enjoyed by all!
Our thanks to Capt. Lamar Joiner Sr., Mark Shevitski and a helper who caught, cleaned and fried the fish for us. The yummy sides were supplied by our great volunteers.
We also shared stories of the days when a fried mullet fish fry was a regular event, held several times a year at the Boca Grande School.
What a treat! Thanks to all who participated!

A shooting in a parking structure outside a Las Vegas Strip movie theater left two people critically wounded and one person with a minor injury, police said yesterday.
Police don't think the shooting, which happened just after midnight, was a random act, but Police Officer Laura Meltzer said the shooter or shooters hadn't been identified.
She added that initial reports that the shooting happened in the theater lobby were incorrect.
Investigators think the shooting stemmed from a conflict between members of two groups that squared off near the UA Showcase 8 theater, Meltzer said.

ATERAS® Announces ATP(TM) to Maintain Natural Batch Programs
DALLAS, Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — ATERAS, a leading provider of solutions for legacy migration and modernization, announced today the roadmap to integrate Natural batch programs within the Application Transparency Platform (ATP) framework. This evolution of ATP provides a totally seamless legacy platform re-host solution for Natural sites.
One of the primary benefits of ATP is the ability for existing Natural programmers to maintain and enhance the Natural application code in a greatly improved developer environment while eliminating the need for the mainframe and expensive license fees. Currently, online Natural applications are re-hosted to ATP without any syntax changes and batch Natural programs are converted to a compatible target platform language (C# or COBOL) where they are maintained separately from ATP. With the new release, Natural batch programs will be maintained along with the online Natural programs in ATP without any change to the existing programming syntax.
Developers will use the ATP developer interface to enhance and maintain the Natural batch programs before exporting them to the batch run time environment. This export process eliminates the need for the existing team to learn a new language for batch maintenance. The ability to maintain batch programs within ATP also increases the cohesion of the re-hosted system because of the integrated version management system.
"We're very excited to be developing another solution for Adabas Natural clients to reduce their high mainframe license fees," said Scott Miller, CEO, President, ATERAS. "Improving the integration of the re-hosted solution means clients have an even easier time using the new platform."
ATP is scheduled to begin managing Natural batch programs in the first quarter of 2013. The initial run time export will be to COBOL on Windows or z/OS with additional export options to .NET C# at a later date.
About ATERAS
ATERAS® has supported global enterprises for over 28 years, offering state-of-the art services that exploit automation for transforming legacy applications and databases into modern technologies using automated conversion, modernization, and re-hosting technologies (DB-Shuttle® eav suite, & ATP®). ATERAS' Application Portfolio Management (APM) solutions and Application code understanding range from Assessments of existing IT environments, enterprise field expansion, and COBOL/Natural workbenches to automated documentation tools.
