Portland elephants like golf course sand
Mar 10, 2014
By STOVER E. HARGER III
Of The Columbian
PORTLAND — Not all sand is created equal. Just ask Lily, the Oregon Zoo's youngest elephant.
On a recent morning, the 1-year-old Asian elephant, all 1,400 pounds of her, dug her feet into the smooth grit as she poked around in the rain for tree limbs, bamboo and other food.
Children, even pachyderms, love a sandbox. And this one, a just-completed chunk of the new $57 million Elephant Lands exhibit, is elephant-sized.
The special sand that covers the new outdoor Encounter Habitat, on the south end of what will be Elephant Lands, was found after a year of testing to find the right mix of cushion and porosity.
The deciding factor came from the elephant pack, said Bob Lee, the zoo's elephant curator. The elephants were given chances to try different sands before the zoo picked what project engineer Wayne Starkey dubbed their "Goldilocks," the kind that was just right.
And where did the just-right sand come from? It was dredged from the Columbia River by CalPortland's aggregate plant in Vancouver.
The sediment in the elephant exhibit — which will use 15,000 cubic yards of sand at 4 feet deep — is the same kind used on golf courses, known as USGA topdressing. It's not as coarse as other sands and drains exceptionally well.
Starkey visited the Vancouver sand facility in the fall and took a look at available varieties. He found that finer masonry sand held more water than was acceptable. A rougher sand drained well, but when it was tested with the elephants, it didn't seem to draw them in the way the USGA topdressing did. During a trial period, he said, a mound of the USGA topdressing got more attention from the elephants; Lily and her big brother Samudra even used it to play king of the hill.
"It's really about letting the elephants make decisions for themselves," Lee said.
Lee said he and the Portland zoo went to such efforts to design the best possible habitat, even sending staff to Ireland's Dublin Zoo to find inspiration, because, after 15 years of caring for these elephants, the health of the herd is of prime importance to him.
"They are like family," he said.
Elephants weigh thousands of pounds, so their relatively small feet need cushioning to ensure they stay healthy and comfortable.
In the wild, Asian elephants roam freely over all sorts of terrain. But when elephants became popular zoo attractions in North America, spurred in part by the celebrated 1962 birth of the Oregon Zoo herd's patriarch Packy, many zoos housed the giant animals in yards and barns covered with concrete. The concrete is easy to clean but can cause problems such as arthritis and degenerative bone ailments.
The Oregon Zoo last updated the elephants' home at the turn of the century by adding rubberized flooring indoors to replace the concrete that had been there for decades.
"Rubber is better than concrete," Lee said. "But we thought, 'What can we do that's better than that?'"
Elephant Lands will quadruple the Asian elephant's habitat by next year, from 1.5 acres to about 6. Gone is the 20-year-old Elephant Museum, the round building that featured a mastadon skeleton. Zoo spokesman Hova Najarian said many of the items in the museum will be placed in the new exhibit.
Money for the expansion came from a $125 million bond passed by Portland Metro voters in 2008. Also planned to debut in the next few years is the three-story Condors of the Columbia aviary, a 30,000-square-foot Zoo Education Center and new habitats for polar bears, primates and rhinos. You can find a rundown at www.oregonzoo.org/discover/new-zoo.
Though zoo staff are happy the Elephant Lands project is finally coming to fruition after years of planning, Lee said it's the enthusiastic reaction from the animals that gives him the most joy.
"To watch the elephants run around and enjoy it has been the biggest reward of all," Lee said.

Today was a regular basic day.
Tonight's swim was with Nasti's. I'm glad it was an easy workout; it was just what I needed.
**500 Freestyle Building Swim
**4 X (25 IM Roll// 50 Freestyle// 75 Fly-back-breast// 2 x 100 free// 75 stroke// 50 Free//25 IM roll)
**200 easy free cool-down
2,700 scy
We are supposed to get alot of snow tomorrow. I hope it starts early. I'd love a 2 hour delay or better yet a snow day!
I'm getting excited about the Superbowl! Go Colts!!!!
(Well, actually it had more to do with the dismal weather predictions, but that wouldn't rhyme.)
This morning I went to the pool to swim on my own. There was a coached workout scheduled for tonight, but heavy rain and possible thunderstorms were forecast and I wasnt sure that the pool would be open later. So I hedged my bets by driving in for a short morning swim. I was glad I did, if just for the glorious sunrise on the way to the pool. Heres what I did:
1100 warmup
Twice through:
12 x 50 @ 1:00, done as
1 x 50 FR Kick
1 x 50 BR Kick
2 x 50 (25 BR / 25 FR)
1 x 50 BR Kick
1 x 50 BK Kick
2 x 50 (25 BK / 25 BR)
1 x 50 BK Kick
1 x 50 FL Kick
2 x 50 (25 FL / 25 BK)
300 SKPS warmdown
Then this afternoon the rain held off and we got to have practice anyway. I was offered an option of sprinting or a longer IM-focused session, and I chose the sprinting:
800 SKPS warmup
4 x 50 (25 build/25 fast) @ :50 [I did reverse IM order]
4 x broken 100s @ 5:00 (25 /:10 rest/25/ :10 rest/ 50) [I went 1:01-low, 1:00-mid, 59-high, 59-low, and swam 100 easy between each]
200 easy
4 x 50 with fins and paddles (25 heads-up kick, 25 sprint swim) @ 3:00 or so
100 easy
4 x (12½ sprint, 12 ½ easy) @ 1:00
200 warmdown
Emphasis on all the sprinting was maintaining a great kick.
So I did a double today, for the first time in ages, but without doing any more yardage than I would do in a long single session. And tomorrow morning Ill be back for more! (or at least thats the plan).
Yup I ran again today...not quite the pain of last week but another good 40 minuter which took me about 4.5 miles. I think I was over that but the damn emergency cut off cord got caught on my hand as I went to forward my ipod and the treadmill stopped. Grrrrr...
You know it's been 10 years since I've been able to enjoy running like this. Swimming has revolutionsed my life thusly:
Lost 20lbs in 2 months. Gained a sense of calm in my spirit. Helped gain control of soul. Impressed Fortress with my Adonis calves. Fit into a size 30 Speedo. Renewed sense of modesty, and humility. Better back health. Ability to get more workouts done. Back health allowing core work to be done. Flattening of the stomach. Reconnecting with my love of swimming.
The list goes on...
So after the run I got in a 20 minute core session and finished with my RC health & shoulder routine.

Strength training tonight
Blogging from my iPhone as I stand in line for an hour waiting to get into the HS Regional meet ...
This morning, I met Speedo at OakMarr for our Thursday swim. Fortunately, he checked the website and saw the pool closed at noon, so we met at 10:30. We did the same kick set we did last Thursday. I was worried my legs would still be gassed from my marathon kick session yesterday, but I actually went faster than last week. Pete was somewhat surprised at my kick endurance (and honestly I was too), but I think all those shooters and kick mountains have paid off. It went thusly:
SCY @ OakMarr w/Speedo:
Warm up:
800 various
Kick Set 1:
6 x 200 @ 3:30
1-2 cruise flutter kick w/board to get legs warmed up; I did 150s.)
3-6 = backstroke kick, no fins
Went 2:56, 2:53, 2:56 (nose clip problems), 2:51
I had a good last 25 on the last 200. These were hard!
To compare, last week, I went 2:59, 2:56, 2:56, 2:53.
I'm hoping these have been some practice for next weekend's 200 back.
Kick Set 2:
6 x 100 kick w/fins @ 1:20
odds = flutter kick w/board
evens = backstroke kick
Went: 1:00, 1:03, 1:03, 1:02, 1:03, 1:01. Really got out after it on the first one. . Maybe a little too much ... Got a cramp on the second one and then just went as fast as I could. Legs were really burning. As I recall, last time I went 1:03-1:05. I'll have to check later. (Edit: Yes, my recollection was accurate.)
Kick Set 3:
10 x 1:00 vertical kick
odds = dolphin
evens = breast
10 minutes hot tub
Total: 2800 + VK
My wrist felt better today. That's a good thing after days of intense kicking and leg work! I' done over 10,000 yards in 8 days.
No other time for working out today. We'll see what tomorrow holds. I've heard that school for tomorrow is already cancelled. My investment in DVDs is really paying off this snowy winter.

200 free easy swim
Total 3000 yards
Forced myself to go to practice tonight despite ongoing queasiness. Did 3,300 desultory yards of freestyle (while my lanes mates swam I.M.s) and managed to keep the stomach contents on the right side of all sphincters, which I suppose is a blessing of some sort, if not for me, at least for my lane mates.
My last cartoon entry, Non-alcoholic digestif for a queasy mind, took quite a while to accumulate the 100 views I am holding myself to as a minimum before I post the next entry. This interlude, again, is probably a blessing, if not for me, at least for my viewers.
We have one of our Amish Mudhole meets this weekend, and I am signed up for the 200. My goal was to break two minutes, but since the descent of this queasiness, I have changed the goal to breaking three minutes.
My teammate Mark, AKA, 40yrold, who is, in fact, about to turn 42, suggested that in another day or so, my goal will be to just finish the 200. He may be right. Then again, his abilities to project into the future appear a bit suspect, as his choice of user names two years ago hints at.
Tonight's cartoon is presented via a new technology that I accidentally discovered was lying around on my computer: Adobe Photoshop Elements. Evidently, I got a low-tech version of this when I bought my scanner.
I mentioned it to my brother, who said he could show me how to use it. Until he had time to do so in detail, he said to just open two photos at the same time, then use the "lasso tool" and the "black cursor" to move stuff from A to B.
I tried it.
This, plus my nausea and ongoing financial problems, is how I came to invent Low Fat Jimmies a revolutionary new snack delicacy for active swimmers.
I am hoping to interest Leslie into trying some. They are gluten-free and guaranteed not to upset my stomach (though I can make not claims regarding your stomach.)
The germ of the idea for Low Fat Jimmies originated many years ago, when I was a young boy with a fascination with ichthyology.
At one point, I had 17 different aquariums in our basement, all teeming with gravid live bearers.
Unfortunately for my cold-blooded wards, my interest in fish waned over the years. I became less and less reliable about traveling down to the basement to feed them.
I remember waking up one morning from uneasy dreams and a horrible sense of residual guilt.
It had been almost one month, I realized, since last I'd sprinkled any flakes upon the foul and diminishing waters.
Stung by pangs, I raced to basement in hopes of rescuing whatever few had survived starvation.
All of them--at least all of them large enough to see with the naked eye--were robustly, comically, even corpulently alive!
This is when I first realized that the Second Law of Thermodynamics, though inviolable over the long run, is nevertheless circumnavigable in the short run.
The cold-blooded live bearers had prospered by doing what they do best: cold-blooded breeding and birth giving.
Then they ate their young.
Low Fat Jimmies are my variation on this quasi-autocannibalistic theme.
Granted, we will have to await some further refinements in genetic engineering, stem cell manipulations, cloning, and the like for this dream to become reality.
But I am convinced that it's only a matter of time before Modern Science will be able to mass produce miniaturized versions of my head ready for snacking purposes.
The exact size of the little Jimmy heads will, of course, need to be worked out--we want, for example, for the skull to offer just the right levels of crunchiness (not too much, not too little) which will, with a single bite, release the delicious bounty of Omega-3 fatty acids (the only fat is good fat in Low Fat Jimmies )
There are also virtually no carbs to worry about, nor any seriously dangerous and/or proven toxins to concern yourself with.
So enjoy!
I know that I shall enjoy a very long sabbatical before this particular entry garners100 views!
Until then, I just ask that you snack responsibly.
Oh--and brush your teeth more often than I do.

I am quitting LA Fitness! My membership expires next week.
If the pool were a bit cooler I would probably maintain the membership. The place is a pretty good deal at $35.00 a month if you take fitness classes and workout in the pool/ gym. Lately all I do is swim there 2 times a week. I think I can get a better deal with a nicer/bigger pool somewhere else.
One of my last memories of LA Fitness will be the horrific moldy hairball that has lived in my favorite shower for 2 months!
The nightmare started during my post-swim shower Thanksgiving week-end. I hopped in the shower and discovered a gnarly, thick, ebony colored hairball in the drain....it was big, really BIG!
Unfortunately LA Fitness is a touch-free bathroom (hand dryers=NO PAPER TOWELS) so I had nothing to clear it out with. I didn't want to stand in the stall and dodge the crazy thing as it floated around in the pool puddle water soooo, I kicked it into the corner! Thankfully it wedged deep into the nook and stayed there!
It stayed THERE; week after week, month after month. I developed a sick fascination with "checking it out" after each swim session.
A month or so in the shower caused it to grow a fine coating of mold.
Lately it seems to be morphing into a slick, black oily looking slime ball.
I suspect it will eventually just liquify and seep down the drain. I'm predicting the hair (slime) ball will last longer than I do at LA Fitness.

This mornings 6am practice was a quick turnaround from last nights workout, but everything felt ok and it felt good to stretch out in the water. As I had hoped, my friend the bug stayed away from the pool (or at least from my lane). Heres the workout we did:
900 warmup (3 x 100S/100K/100D)
12 x 25 kick @ :40, desc. within each set of 3
4 x 500 @ Rest :30-1:00: 1st 500 alt. drill/swim by 100; 2nd 500 is pull; 3rd 500 75S/25K; 4th 500 desc. by 100s [I did this set with my swimbuddy Ray, which made it funwere very well matched for speed on freestyle, and really hammered the last 100 of that last 500.]
10 x 100 IM @ 1:45, keep pace steady [I held 1:30 +/- :02]
200 warmdown
I got some good tips from Coach Chuck on my FL and BK while doing the IM set.
The pool was hot todayI switched to my lycra cap midway through practice, and that made things a better.
Well I think it's a ladder...maybe someone can correct me if not.
I was running low on time so a did a ladder today as I know it's fast and pretty good work.
1:30-1:35 pace
10 x 50 K 1:30 no fins. Legs felt a bit heavy so I went around 1:15 most of the time but it was still work.
4 x 100 2:00 desc 1:40, 1:30, 1:25, 1:20 all of these felt good solid swims not straining.
4 x 50 cool
60 mins weights and stretching.
Thinking of a good sprint set fo my 50 FR.
10 x 200 on 6:00 50 Flat out. 4 breaths 150 recovery rest to 6 minutes. What say ye? Good or bad?
SCY, solo
2x around:
{200 swim, 200 kick, 200 pull}
Round 1 free, Round 2 back
swim 4 x 150 on 2:30 descend 1-4
30 sec. rest
swim 4 x 150 back on 2:45 descend 1-4
pull 8 x 75 on 1:20 descend 1-4, 5-8
with buoy only, did 1-4 free, 5-8 back
Sprint 50 fly
(didn't go very fast on this even though the effort was there.)
150 easy swim down
Total: 3200 yards
45 minute spinning class
Schools were closed due to our "blizzard." Yet I still got in a good day of working out.
6 rounds of:
1 x 100 jump rope hops
3 position arms extensions
Power Yoga:
I did power yoga with the Bryan Kest power yoga DVD, advanced level.
Here's some info on Bryan Kest:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc1yU1JFPNI"]YouTube- Bryan Kest's Power Yoga[/ame]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8FS9X0ab0g"]YouTube- Kashi Ashram: Bryan Kest Power Yoga class, 4 of 4[/ame] (kinda funny)
I'm struggling with one advanced pose. You start with the revolved side angle pose with hands in prayer position like this: http://www.atmananda.com/blog/?p=227. Then you wrap your left arm under your leg and your right arm around over your back and join hands. I'm almost there; I guess I need a flexier spine.
I'm also working on a full camel pose in bikram -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/40576779@N02/3908316405/. I can do a regular camel easily enough, but I'd like to get all the way down.
Jazzy has a theory that I only like workouts that "hurt" and hence that's why I dislike vinyasa. But I don't find that bikram and power yoga "hurt;" they're just more challenging.
Warm up:
600 various
200 fly drills
Kick Set #1:
10 x 25 back shooters w/MF @ :30
5 x 1:00 vertical kicking (dolphin, evil, dolphin, evil, dolphin)

1 x 200 @ 2:45
1 x 150 @ 2:15
1 x 100 @ 1:30

10 x 50 PLD evil w/MF @ 1:00
10 x (25 easy speed fly + 25 EZ) @ 1:00
Total: 4150 + 15 min. VK
I felt pretty good today, though I'm quite sure my legs will be tired tonight. Well, they already are. Hoping to swim with Speedo tomorrow. My eyes are better; my wrist was sore after yesterday's drylands, so I didn't do anything to strain it today.

Went swimming on my lunch break today; did 800 yards in 45 minutes.
Spent most of this workout focusing on freestyle open turns, using the Go Swim videos on You Tube. This is a great series of steps building toward a faster, more efficient open turn. Since time is so limited on my lunch break workouts, it seems to make more sense to focus on a particular skill, rather than just trying to slog through more yards.
I did not want to get out of bed this morning. I finally convinced myself at 5. I have to leave by ten to 5 to have a chance at getting there on time. Needless to say I dove in about 20 minutes late.
Warm-up was (didn't do any)
2 x ( 200 swim, 200 kick, 200 pull)
Round 1 free, Round 2 choice
2 X (4 x 150) Descend
Round 1 - free on 2:15
Round 2 - BK/BR/FR on 2:30
12 x 75 pull on 1:10
(I did 8 x 75 kick on 1:20 with zoomers)
200 c/d
2000 yards in less than 40 minutes. Kinda proud of that. Hoping to swim and be on time tomorrow.
3 X 200 kick 4:30
Four times through, breaking between rounds.

"Everyone knows I'm in over my head..."
-The Fray
Friday. Snow. I stared at the 1-2 inches predicted for Saturday, blinked, and watched it increase to 2-3 inches. Friday night, 3-6 inches. Saturday, 4-6 inches.
11:00. Snow. The snow began Saturday as the team left our apres-workout coffeehouse. I tripped on down to Office Depot to drop off the meet program for printing, ordering 200 copies. I was pasting the advertiser-sponsor ads in, the day before. We charge $10 for a footer ad, which pays for printing the program. Did the gal in the copy center speak English? Did she understand me? Were there no forms to fill out?
12:00. Snow. I posted a note to the web page that the meet's fate would be decided sometime in the evening, after evaluation of an updated forecast and of the roads. Emails were sent out looking for a fourth official for the meet.
1:00. Snow. The flurry of phone calls and emails kept the telecommunications industry in business. Discussion centered on how to get the word out if canceled, refund policies, and rec center pool rental contractual requirements. Calls were made to find a substitute meet official.
2:00. Snow. The chair movers were scheduled to be at the summer pool at 3:30 to load up chairs onto the rented truck. This was earlier than usual, because the pool guy with the key needed to officiate a regional high school meet in late afternoon.
Since his meet was canceled, we could start the chair brigade an hour later. Chair workers were notified. Two 'no' answers came in from possible meet officials.
3:00. Snow. It was decided to proceed with the pool setup as scheduled at 5:20. The hospitality room coordinator needed to leave home, but her swimming husband was not home yet. She asked to come in early before the meet at 6:00 AM. I gave her the pool's phone number and asked to coordinate. She decided to stay home that evening and arrive at the pool early morning to set up her end. A call to our sanction chair seemed to indicate the pool guy could be an official at our meet - his high school certification was acceptable by USMS.
4:00. Snow. There were 5-inches of snow on my deck. I began clearing the car and loading up the lap counters, flamingoes, tee shirts, awards, hats, coconuts, power strip. The melted snow on the car from earlier that day had frozen to the windshield.
5:00. Snow. I headed to Office Depot to pick up the meet programs. It was recently closed due to the weather. Were the employees inside having a party and laughing at me frantic knocking on the glass doors in the cold snow? After 5 minutes, one came to the door. I explained the situation, and was told to pick them up tomorrow morning after 10:00.
I continued knocking. I was going to stay there all night knocking if needed. Another employee came over and told me the register computers were shut down, so I could not check out. I offered to hand over my credit card to charge it tomorrow when the registers started up again. Nope. Then, I dropped the bomb, "I want to speak to the manager."
I explained the situation a third time. The manager let me in, obtained the copies, and checked me out on the register without talking much, trying to force a disgusted, disapproving look on her face. I will be sure to send a note of thanks.
5:30. Snow. I arrived at the pool. The chair brigade was there waiting. Their truck would not make into the summer pool's driveway. Rather than risk getting it stuck, it was left at the street. Chairs were carried out, down the driveway through the snow to the street.
The pool training classes which had kept us from setting up at 5:00 were canceled due to the snow. The canoe, noodles, foam belts and bar bells, kickboards were all cleared off the pool deck. The tables were set up. The few chairs the rec center owned (there are no bleachers) were set up. The lane lines were in. This year, the staff had actually done a lot of the work we were forced to do in the past. Our setup was completed in an hour - a record time.
7:00. Snow. The snow was beginning to end after 6 inches accumulation. The weather forecast and radar showed it ending. The road crews had all night to clear the roads. I posted to the meet web page that
the meet was on.
I packed up the computers and printers for the morning trip, cored a pineapple for the luau hospitality room, set the alarm, and went to bed.
Updated February 3rd, 2010 at 12:38 PM by Rnovitske

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/16/14
One of the most interested observers of the winter meetings was Chicago Cubs closer Carlos Marmol. In November, the Cubs tried to trade Marmol to the Angels, but they backed out of a proposed deal because they didn't like the medical reports on Los Angeles pitcher Dan Haren. As the meetings ended, the Cubs were set to announce the signing of Japanese closer Kyuji Fujikawa to a two-year deal worth a guaranteed $9.5 million. The Cubs' company line in Nashville was: "Marmol is still our closer." That remains to be seen. Marmol has one year and $9.8 million left on his three-year deal. It's still possible the Cubs could move him before spring training. After a poor start to the 2012 season, when Marmol lost the ninth-inning role for a while, he came on in the second half and wound up with 20 saves. It's possible Marmol and Fujikawa could coexist in the same bullpen. In six years at Hanshin in Japan, Fujikawa, 32, had 202 saves and a microscopic WHIP o...

Kelli O'Hara and Steven Pasquale join 'Bridges'
NEW YORK (AP) - The Broadway-bound musical "The Bridges of Madison County" has its new lovers- Kelli O'Hara and Steven Pasquale.
Producers said Wednesday that O'Hara, last on Broadway in "Nice Work If You Can Get It," will star opposite Pasquale, who was in "Reasons To Be Pretty."
The show, with songs by Jason Robert Brown and a book by Marsha Norman, will debut at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts this August and then land at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater in January. Previews begin Jan. 13.
Based on Robert Waller's best-selling novel, the story features Iowa's covered bridges as the focal point for a romance between a woman and a photographer.
Norman won a Tony for writing "`night, Mother" and Brown wrote the Tony nominated "Parade" and "The Last Five Years."

Brightcove (NASDAQ: BCOV), a leading global provider of cloud content services, today introduced new native player software development kits (SDKs) for Apple iOS and Google Android devices, integrated with industry-leading advertising, analytics, audience measurement and digital rights management providers. Now premium video publishers can rapidly deliver apps that integrate with the third-party services required for successful video monetization and harness the performance and deep operating system integration that only native technology can provide.
"The biggest challenge facing media companies today is delivering high-quality video across mobile devices with the advertising, analytics and content protection required to propel their business," said Phil Costa, director of product management, Brightcove. "We architected these new native player SDKs in close collaboration with media industry leaders to provide maximum power and flexibility to developers building video-rich apps for the leading smartphones and tablets."
The Brightcove player SDKs extend the native video player capabilities of iOS and Android devices with a rich layer of additional functionality and integrations that accelerate development of high-quality consumer experiences. Built-in support for mixed video types and automatic buffering enable a seamless viewing experience, while easily skinnable video controls and layouts enable publishers to fully customize the player to their brand.
The SDKs and next generation player architecture are also designed to support the needs of the Brightcove partner ecosystem, with a rich set of APIs for customization by partners. Brightcove's native player SDKs have been integrated with Adobe SiteCatalyst, Adobe Pass, Akamai Media Analytics, comScore Media Metrix, FreeWheel, Google DoubleClick for Publishers, Nielsen VideoCensus and Google Widevine. The native player SDKs work with the Brightcove Video Cloud Media API, as well as with other online video platforms.
Pricing and Availability
The native player SDKs for iOS and Android devices are available today free of charge to Pro and Enterprise edition Brightcove Video Cloud customers. We plan to make the native player SDKs available as stand-alone commercial products for customers who manage their own online video platform or use other third-party solutions.
App Cloud Discontinuation
In connection with the company's decision to emphasize native SDKs, Brightcove today also announced plans to discontinue App Cloud and accelerate investment in its native player SDKs. Brightcove will continue to operate App Cloud for existing customers through June 2014.
"The mobile app development marketplace is emerging and dynamic, and we have learned a great deal from our customers and prospects as a direct result of ramping our App Cloud efforts over the last eighteen months," said David Mendels, president, chief operating officer and chief executive officer-designate of Brightcove. "By increasing investments in our native player SDKs, we will be able to innovate more rapidly to solve the complex challenges of multi-platform video app development and leverage our leadership position in what we believe is a fast-growing, multi-billion dollar online video platform market opportunity."

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Crochu villa description
On a headland in a natural setting and with stunning views over ocean and beaches, Two Bays has an infinity swimming pool and sun terrace overlooking Crochu Bay and gardens.
Elegant, romantic and comfortable, Two Bays Villa has a 100 ft. long shaded terrace wrapping itself around the Villa with swing seats. Deep enough to enjoy shade and relax to enjoy the fabulous views even when dining. It is private and not overlooked.
The Villa bedroom has a King Size 4 poster bed with net and opens onto the veranda with two 9ft. wide folding doors. The large Villa sitting room with a fully equipped kitchen at one end also has two 9 ft. wide folding doors with adjustable wooden louvers opening onto the same veranda, giving outdoor living when inside the Villa.
The breeze off the sea is assisted by large ceiling fans and optional A/C in the bedroom when necessary. Lie in your 4 poster bed and look at your view in privacy!
The two large and separate Studios (which can be rented separately or joined in with the Villa) have shaded 19 ft. terraces which are not overlooked and either Queen and King size (or 2 single) 4 poster beds. There are ceiling fans and optional A/C for when the ocean breezes are not doing their job. Each Studio is fully set up for self-catering.
Each Studio has 9 ft. wide openings with folding wooden doors. From Two Bays terraces, views to Cabier beach, Cabier & Crochu Bays and ocean can be enjoyed from swing seats. Beautiful Cabier beach is 100 yards away.
Two Bays is run and fully serviced by Cabier Ocean Lodge, which has a terrace restaurant and bar overlooking the ocean and a massage facility. You have full use of their facilities.
For anyone interested in the night sky Cabier is a must. On a clear night with little ambient light, thousands of stars fold round and over the top of the promontory. Lie on your back and wonder at the canopy of stars that surround you. At certain times of year major planets can be easily picked out and craters on the moon are clearly visible at stages of its growth. Lucky to be there with a full moon? Walk on Cabier's white sand beach at low tide and be followed by a moon shadow.
Cabier beach is stunningly beautiful. It is how you imagine a Caribbean beach to be but often is not. Normally with hardly anyone on it; save a few local people come at the weekend or on major holidays, you can often have it virtually to yourself. With an offshore reef to protect the bay and beach, other than at the highest of tides, the water is normally as calm as in our photos and as clear. Perfect for swimming, as an alternative to the pool, with some snorkelling around the inner reef. Cabier Ocean Lodge supply beach chairs.
The whole beach is cleaned by the tide and the sand is really firm with an easy walk in to the sea. There is nothing behind the beach other than fields and cows with cattle egrets on them; and a distant view to the rain forest.
There are donkey safaris and walks along the headlands to other bays and individual tours to local attractions organised by Cabier Ocean Lodge.

What to do in "Spice Island" Grenada:
Many of our guests find their day starts to fill up once they have had a swim in the warm sea, lie on a beach lounger, and sit on their veranda in one of the swing seats or around the pool reading a good book.
The more energetic can enjoy snorkelling in the sheltered waters round the headland or strolling along the paths that wind around the coast either guided or not.
Nature lovers can see pelicans, frigate birds, egrets, herons and the occasional osprey fishing as well as humming birds, doves and butterflies in the garden without stirring from their veranda. There are local knowledgeable guides who organise trips to the magnificent rainforest that covers much of central Grenada, to see waterfalls, beautiful flowers, birds, butterflies, monkeys.
Even though you are supposed to be really chilling out and winding down Cabier style (the locals call it limin') - you may be tempted to do a little inter-island visiting using the hydrofoil up to the neighbouring Grenadine islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique or perhaps a day on a catamaran sailing up the coast, or diving Grenada's reefs, all of which can be organised by Cabier.
Perhaps have a day in St George's just wandering around the beautiful harbour with its shops, restaurants and market and taking in its history through its historic forts guarding the harbour.
Bruno at Cabier organises tours to the rainforest with waterfall swimming as well as to the other main attractions on the island, nutmeg plantations, cocoa estate at Belmont and the Seven Rivers Rum distillery – where they still use 18th century methods and a water wheel to produce their rum.
Carnival is the first week of August. It is colourful, noisy with bands and exuberant with hundreds of locals parading and dancing in bizarre costumes to loud Soca music around the harbour front with a day and night parade Midnight Mass watched by locals and visitors alike - and of course lots of local food and drink.
It is a stunningly beautiful island with friendly locals who like to chat. Hire a car (Cabier will arrange - minimum 3 days hire – delivered to Cabier or picked up at airport) and go and explore the spectacular interior and coasts. Shop in the markets for local produce to tempt you to cook and buy spices, which make great gifts.
Driving is not difficult in Grenada and most places of interest in Grenada are within a 1 – 2 hour drive.
Other Activities: Nesarest diving centre is 40 minutes away / Golf is 45 minutes away
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2010
About the owner: We are a late middle aged professional couple living in Central London in England. We are property enthusiasts! We love restoring very old property that is run down and in need of alteration, rebuild, and refurbishment to a level of elegant comfort - it is a really enjoyable challenge for us. We have done this in London, and with holiday houses in France and the Canaries (visit www.hamiltonholidayhouses.com), Two Bays at Cabier presented us with a unique challenge. We had never ever built from scratch before on what was very much a greenfield site! We put all our experience of property rebuilding and renovation, and from what we had seen and experienced elsewhere in the world, into the design of the Villa and the two separate Studios. Everything from wide opening folding doors to remove the barrier of outside/inside (Vietnam), to being able to lie in your four poster bed naked and enjoy the view (!), with deep covered verandas that you can relax on if you want some shade (Tobago) to name a couple. We loved building Two Bays in such a special place and visit twice a year. When we are not there - it is available to you.
Why the Owner Chose Crochu:
We have travelled extensively over the years, but for the Caribbean we have always come back to Grenada as our favourite Caribbean island. Why? Because the island is so beautiful and welcoming as well as relaxed with old world manners. We have tried hard to find somewhere else to beat it since we both first visited. Coincidentally both separately - me hitching boats up the Caribbean travelling back from South America and my wife as a student in the USA – both in the late 60s / early 70s. We both fell in love with the island and its people and returned many times since. Why did we build Two Bays at Cabier? We stayed at Cabier the first time in 2008 purely by chance. We were staggered how natural and beautiful it is when we woke up on the first morning and looked across Cabier bay. A couple of days later floating in the water off Cabier beach my wife said - looking back at the promontory on which Two Bays now stands - 'if I was going to build anywhere in the world it would be there, but only if it would be looked after by Cabier Ocean Lodge and be attached to the hotel'. At breakfast Cabier's hotel book revealed a plot for sale ...... the rest is history. Construction started in April 2009 and our first visitors arrived January 2010. Building and fitting out nearly 4000 miles away - that is whole other story! We added the infinity pool overlooking Crochu Bay in 2011. We built Two Bays because we love beautiful Cabier, its sense of tranquillity, the natural environment and an amazing safe beach protected by the offshore reef with warm silky water and firm sand. All this with a warm welcome at Cabier Ocean Lodge (you become part of the 'Cabier family' during your stay) plus a bar and restaurant overlooking the ocean on your doorstep, it is a wonderful combination for a really relaxing holiday. Do come and experience the magic, natural beauty and tranquillity of Cabier for yourself - we would like to share it with you!
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
We built Two Bays to be somewhere which would link to the natural environment as much as possible but still give those staying elegant comfort. Both Villa and the Two Studios have their own deep shaded verandas which are private. The swing seats allow you to relax and gently rock to and fro looking at the stunning views from the elevated position on the promontory between Cabier and Crochu Bays. If you want to sit inside then the 9ft wide opening folding doors allow you to be connected to the outside while inside. The hardwood doors have wooden adjustable louvers so that you can catch the breezes that are a feature of Cabier and Two Bays position. There are large ceiling fans and high ceilings to maximise the cooling comfort with A/C in the bedrooms if really needed. The four poster beds are fully netted so the natural breezes can be enjoyed at night. All furniture and doors /windows are in sustainable hardwood. The Villa and the two separate Studios each sleep two persons and are completely independent, but can be joined together for parties of 3 - 6 persons. The infinity pool overlooking Crochu Bay and the ocean is completely private to Two Bays and has a sun terrace. Combined with Cabier beach, the pool and garden gives wonderful choices of what to do not very much on a very relaxed slow day!

|Indians ace C.C. Sabathia struggles with control in ALCS opener
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 13 October 2007 01:21
He just hopes it comes next week, not next year.
If the Cleveland Indians don't win again after losing the opener of the AL championship series to the Boston Red Sox 10-3 on Friday night, the big lefty may have thrown his last pitch - hit hard for a two-run single - of the 2007 season.
The 19-game winner and Cy Young Award candidate was rocked for eight runs on seven hits in 4 1-3 innings by a patient offense that didn't go fishing for pitches off the plate. That's one reason Sabathia walked five batters.
``He's strong mentally,'' Cleveland pitching coach Carl Willis said. ``I think he will handle it as well as anyone can and, you know what? I fully expect him to go out and have a good outing his next outing, whenever that is.''
Manager Eric Wedge chose not to use Sabathia on three days' rest on Monday night when the Indians wrapped up the ALDS 3-1 over the New York Yankees with a 6-4 win behind starter Paul Byrd.
If Wedge sticks with that plan, Jake Westbrook and Byrd will pitch Games 3 and 4 of the best-of-seven ALCS in Cleveland after Fausto Carmona faces Curt Schilling in the second game Saturday night at Fenway Park.
Sabathia was upset that he didn't pitch more aggressively and challenge hitters with his fastball, especially on a night when he struggled with off-speed pitches.
He and Josh Beckett each allowed a run in the first inning, but both retired the side in the second and it appeared they were settling down.
``He did. I didn't,'' Sabathia said. ``I felt good that second inning (but) I didn't really stick with our plan and kind of got away from that and didn't really challenge guys. I need to be more aggressive next time, go out and throw my fastball in the zone.''
When he was lifted with the Indians trailing 7-1, he walked calmly to the dugout. Once there, he leaned forward with his hands clasped in front of him and pursed his lips with a faraway look in his eyes.
``I was just really upset with myself, not being my usual, aggressive, coming-after-guys self,'' Sabathia said. ``I guess you can say that's wasted opportunity.''
Sabathia allowed his most runs since he gave up eight on July 21, 2006. It was his second-shortest outing in 35 starts this season.
A few years ago, the 27-year-old Sabathia was demonstrative on the field. In the clubhouse after a tough loss, he once punched a pillar near his locker, leaving a hole in it.
Those days seem to be gone now.
``When he was younger, things kind of carried at times from one start to the next,'' Willis said.
The Indians don't expect that to happen now, but the Red Sox hitters are so selective that Sabathia's results may not be any better the next time.
``You know they're going to make you come in, they're going to make you work for it,'' Wedge said. ``They're not going to chase. You've got to prove that you can be in the zone before they even think about expanding a little bit.''
In the opener of the AL division series, Sabathia walked six Yankees in five innings - the same number of walks he issued in all of September. The Indians still won 12-3.
``He was much more under control tonight,'' Willis said. ``The New York game he was definitely overthrowing. When he missed, he missed badly. Tonight, I don't think he missed badly that often but he didn't do a good enough job being aggressive early in the counts to get himself in position to use all his pitches.''
Sabathia's worst inning was the third, when the Red Sox batted around and scored four times for a 5-1 lead. Manny Ramirez walked with the bases loaded, Mike Lowell doubled in two runs and Jason Varitek drove in another with a groundout.
His last inning was the fifth when David Ortiz walked, Ramirez singled and Lowell walked, loading the bases. Then Bobby Kielty singled in two runs, ending Sabathia's night.
``I usually go out and pitch and have fun and enjoy it,'' Sabathia said. ``I was going out today and trying to not make mistakes.''
He made plenty.
``Sometimes (with) C.C., his heart gets in the way. He tries to do a little bit too much,'' Wedge said. ``He just doesn't need to try to do any more than what he normally does, because what he is, it's pretty good.''

Los Angeles Movie Awards Best Narrative Short Film Stays 'Committed'It's no secret that Hollywood is a tough nut to crack, and every aspiring actress dreams of her big break. But what many don't realize is that there is a rather straightforward way to ensure you land the role you want. One night over dinner Mehran Torgoley and Llana Barron realized that the best way to land a role is to write it yourself, and a few drinks later, the kernel of the idea for "Committed" was born. In the short film, a compassionate nurse in an overcrowded mental hospital in the early 1950s struggles to prove the sanity of a young paraplegic patient. "We decided to shoot with the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K because of its image quality. It's amazing that we were able to get such an incredibly detailed image for such an affordable price."

Why Kristen Bell's More of a Badass Than Most of Us
Animal lover, kangaroo spooner, Woman We Love.
Byon March 14, 2014
A few years ago, a video made the rounds of actress Kristen Bell freaking out over sloths. Turns out, her lust for animals goes beyond tree-dwellers. Last night on The Late Late Show, she told an amusing anecdote of a time when she went to a "rescue petting zoo" in Melbourne, Australia. According to Bell, this is a pretty wild place. Koala bears are stoned off eucalyptus, all the animals have venereal diseases, and old kangaroos will let you spoon them. "Normally they don't like human interaction," she told Craig Ferguson. "But I just kept inching closer and closer." At one point, Ferguson asks if her husband Dax Shepard got in on the act as well. "He doesn't have the balls," she deadpanned.
Bell is currently making the rounds promoting the Veronica Mars film (in theaters and Video On-Demand starting today) and currently stars in Showtime's House of Lies, now in the middle of season three. But maybe hosting a show about weird nature should be in her future. Watch below:
