No. 25 San Diego State tops USC 66-60
LOS ANGELES Despite a significant height advantage that features three 7-footers, Southern California isn't recording the early seasons victories it envisioned.
The early season doldrums continued Sunday for USC in a 66-60 loss to No. 25 San Diego State.
The Trojans (3-3) had won 10 of 12 games all time against the Aztecs, but San Diego State notched its second straight against USC. Sunday's win also was the Aztecs' first victory in seven attempts at the Galen Center, and San Diego State has now defeated its last 10 Pac 12 opponents.
USC shot only 33 percent (22-66) including 29.4 percent behind the arc (5-17). The Trojans also missed 9 of 20 free throws.
"We've got to start converting and shooting the ball better," USC coach Kevin O'Neill said. "I liked our shot selection. We rebounded our tails off and fought hard. We have to keep being aggressive and shooting."
USC outrebounded the Aztecs 43-36.
The Trojans fell behind by 19 points in the first half, but rallied to cut San Diego State's lead to a 35-23 deficit by halftime.
"When you put yourself that deep in the hole, you've got to come back harder," said Trojans guard Jio Fontan, who scored 9 points on 3-of-12 shooting. "I have to play better. I've had a rough couple of games."
James Rahon and Jamaal Franklin had 17 points apiece to lead the Aztecs to their fourth consecutive win.
Rahon was 6 for 7 from the field, making all three of his 3-point attempts.
"Anytime you win a road game it's great, especially at the Galen Center against a Pac 12 team," Rahon said. "We continued to battle and stay focused."
Xavier Thames scored 14 points and JJ O'Brien added 12 for San Diego State. Skylar Spencer also pulled down 11 rebounds for the Aztecs.
Eric Wise led USC with 14 points, and Dewayne Dedmon grabbed 10 rebounds.
The Trojans opened the second half with an 18-4 run to take a 41-39 lead on a basket by Eric Wise with 13:28 to play. The game remained tight until San Diego State grabbed control at the end.
"Unfortunately, we didn't come out and shoot the ball early," O'Neill said. "We got better as the game went on. We had our chances. We got the lead twice in the second half. But you can't shoot 11 of 20 from the line and you can't be immature. We gave in to things at the end and that hurt us."
USC was assessed two technical fouls in the final two minutes. Thames and Franklin made 5 of 6 free throws and Rahon had a clutch 3-pointer to extend the Aztecs' lead to 64-57 with 1:02 to play.
"The (late technical) was a big play," O'Neill said. "It was immature on (Omar Oraby's) part. The immaturity of the emotional stuff, you can't overcome that against a good team. That's not acceptable."
USC has eight days off before it travels to play Nebraska and New Mexico.
San Diego State has won 25 in a row against California teams over the past 3 years - the longest active streak in the country.
"I thought we did a great job on the road in this environment," San Diego State coach Steve Fisher said. "We are going to enjoy this one and get ready for UCLA on Monday morning."
The Aztecs held USC to three baskets over the final 5:26 of the game.
"Out of the gate we were sensational with our defense," Fisher said. "Our defense created offensive opportunities. We knew the game wasn't going to end how it started with how big of a lead we had. We were somewhat fortunate to get out of here with a victory."

Oklahoma City's James Harden listed as day-to-day
After undergoing further tests for concussion symptoms, Oklahoma City Thunder guard James Harden has been listed as day-to-day, the team announced Monday.
It is unlikely that Harden will play in the team's final two regular season games, which will be played in Oklahoma City on Tuesday against Sacramento and Wednesday against Denver.
Harden underwent a battery of tests on Monday in Oklahoma City in accordance with NBA protocol and will be re-evaluated once again Tuesday.
"Harden participated in a series of limited activities per NBA guidelines, but has additional steps that must be taken under the league-mandated concussion policy before he can make his return to the court," the team said.
Harden was knocked out of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers late in the first half after being hit in the head by a vicious elbow thrown by Metta World Peace.
Harden originally was set to return to the game after halftime but returned to the locker room and was held out when symptoms worsened.
The NBA's new concussion policy, which was instituted at the start of training camp this season, mandates that players with diagnosed with concussions must undergo neurological testing and pass a series of exertion protocols that include riding a stationary bike, jogging and individual basketball skills. The policy also mandates that players must remain symptom free after each test, and teams then must consult with Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, the director of the NBA's concussion program, to determine when a concussed player can return.
Harden, the Thunder's sixth man, is averaging 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists on 49.1 percent shooting, all career-highs. The third-year shooting guard out of Arizona State is projected to win this year's Sixth Man of the Year award in a landslide.
The Thunder is 2-0 without Harden in the lineup, with wins over New Orleans and Sacramento.

Jul 12, 2013: Omaha (DTN): Soybean rust has made an early appearance down South this year, and plant pathologists warn that could have implications for the entire soybean belt.
Rust has been confirmed in 30 counties in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, the majority in soybean fields.
Plant pathologists say the rust is making an appearance about three weeks ahead of last year's pace. Mississippi State Plant Pathologist Todd Allen says an early appearance of the fungus, combined with a delayed soybean crop, and wet conditions in most Southern states, is cause for some concern.
The disease, which travels on wind currents, first appeared in the U.S. in 2004. The rust has been highly destructive in other soybean-growing counties, especially Brazil and Paraguay.
Another agronomist, Bill Weibold, says "…soybean rust may not be on the mind of Midwest growers. but depending on weather patterns this summer, Midwesterners should keep an eye out as well."

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Lisa Rinna on The Real Housewives Beverly Hills: "I'd Kill Them All!" (VIDEO)
Lisa Rinna has long since dispelled the rumors that she's joining the cast of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and in a new interview with HuffPost Live, she gave more rationale for her decision not to do the show — and yes, death threats are involved.
"Would you like to see me be a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills? I mean, like, really think about it. Seriously?"
The HuffPost host suggested that Lisa would be the sole truth-teller of the bunch, the one who's not concerned with being a people pleaser.
"Do you realize I would chew them all up and spit them out?" Lisa replies. "Like, does anyone realize what I would do to those poor women? Because I am a housewife of Beverly Hills, because I have lived in that world for 25 years, they would not have a chance with me. I mean, seriously. They wouldn't. I'd kill them all!
"I would probably squash Brandi Glanville in the first five seconds … I don't want to have to have drama in my life, and I would dive into the biggest pool. Because I couldn't help myself. I'd have to cut all of their heads off."
But the actress does rave about the Beverly Hills wives she likes. Check out the full video to find out which lucky ladies receive her praise!

Hey everybody,
My name is Michael, and I think I'm addicted to these forums. Lots of great info here. I do all types of riding. Right now I'm a freshman at SIU, so I only have my Raleigh Grand Prix single speed here. But I also have a Trek 990 MTB, an old AMC single speed girls bike with a coaster brake (I think it's made of lead), and an aluminum Trek road bike (I can't remember what model, it was a gift from an old friend). My goal is to own one bike for each day of the year, all single speeds.

The OMB documents describing the revised bulletin asserted that it gave agencies more leeway to run their own peer review processes than did the original. The revised bulletin also seemed to loosen somewhat, from the original, the White House's grip over scientific information disseminated in emergency situations (e.g. whether air was safe to breathe in lower Manhattan after 9/11).
But many other parts of the original bulletin to which objections had commonly been raised by the 187 commenters on the original draft remain substantially unchanged. For example, it still authorizes agencies to let private firms manage their peer review - which exempts the peer review from the openness requirements of the Federal Advisory Committees Act. It also leaves OMB and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy with final say over whether peer review is adequate.
Industry groups, who have criticized the science behind government regulations affecting their bottom lines, generally favored the original draft bulletin. But critics created great stir in the press when a group of Nobel prizewinners complained on Feb. 18, 2004, that the White House was systematically corrupting and suppressing agency science to suit industry supporters.
More recently, top White House science advisor John Marburger dismissed such criticisms, saying "President Bush believes policies should be made with the best and most complete information possible, and expects his Administration to conduct its business with integrity and in a way that fulfills that belief."

All Firearms
Gun Parts
|Seller's Description
Here is a beautiful Spencer, Model 1860 Carbine in .50 Spencer Rimfire with a 22" barrel. This carbine was made by the Spencer Repeating Rifle Co., Boston, Mass. The appearance of these 8-shot repeaters gave the Union cavalry a substantial advantage toward the end of the Civil War. The Confederates called it the gun you could load on Sunday and shoot all week. The Spencer was one of the finest and the most famous firearms of the Civil War and has the distinction of being personally tested by Pres. Lincoln. It was designed by Christopher Spencer of Manchester, Conn.
This is a very nice example of a Spencer carbine. It appears to be in functioning condition and ready to fire, but I can't honestly say because of the lack of ammo to test fire it. The metal has an overall pleasing appearance and has developed a very nice patina on the outer surfaces. As expected there are areas of pitting on some of external metal parts, but really not to bad for a hundred and forty year old. Most of the Spencer markings on the top of the receiver are legible as seen in a photo. Also visible are the two cartouche stamps on the stock (see photo) The bore has strong rifling and is in very good condition with just some slight pitting. The wood is a little dirty but in good condition. There are some small scratches, dings and a few dents, but no cracks or chips. The gun's serial number (51849) in this range places in the later part of the Civil War.

Millar's crossing
Sports | Repentant steroid user now part of a cycling team that keeps it clean
In recent years, professional sports have proved that opportunity and the right brand of compromised ethics are all that's necessary to turn a world-class athlete into a world-class doper. But it takes something more to bury such sins beneath vigorous professions of innocence no matter the mountain of evidence to the contrary. Call it ego, call it self-worship, such refusals to come clean smack of desperation to maintain an identity rooted in fraud.
Some consider the prospect of exposure worse than the silent torment of wearing masks. But others, such as Scottish cyclist Dave Millar, have found rest and a path to redemption in the liberating act of confession. In 2004, police found a pair of used Epogen syringes in Millar's apartment. Rather than lawyer up, Millar admitted using the banned substance, a revelation that got him fired, cost him his 2003 world time trial championship, and earned him a two-year suspension from the sport.
Four years later, Millar believes the consequences were well worth the chance to ride clean again. His conscience clear, he hopes to use his experience to spare young riders from trouble and restore the reputation of cycling.
Millar, 31, is an elder statesman on a team of riders with unprecedented commitment to keeping it clean. U.S.-based Slipstream/Chipotle maintains one of the toughest anti-doping programs in all of sports. It employs the services of the Agency for Cycling Ethics, which performs medical analysis on each rider to detect any abnormalities from drugs or blood transfusions.
What's more, Slipstream members train together throughout the year and are in constant communication through team-issued Blackberries. They are required to update regularly their whereabouts on the World Anti-Doping Agency website so as to remain available for drug testing while not competing.
Slipstream creator Jonathan Vaughters, a former rider with the U.S. Postal Service team alongside seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, hand-selects team members who welcome the kind of invasive anti-doping measures needed to restore public trust. His latest idea: Assign two compliance officers to each rider during major races and grant access to luggage, hotel rooms, email accounts, and anywhere else that evidence of doping might surface.
Vaughters has placed Slipstream's radical program at the forefront of the team's marketing campaign. More important than winning, he says, is making clean racing cool again.
Not all cyclists see it that way. Andrey Kashechkin, a Kazakh rider who tested positive in the wake of last year's Tour de France, has called the sport's anti-doping tests a violation of human rights. That charge echoes the past efforts of Major League Baseball's players union to block testing for the sake of privacy, a position that punished honest athletes and protected cheaters.
The now red-hot investigation into whether pitcher Roger Clemens used banned substances may never reach satisfactory resolution because no blood or urine samples exist from the time in question. Union boss Donald Fehr promises changes. That's good. But anything short of what athletes like Millar and teams like Slipstream have undertaken is tantamount to serial liars asking for trust with a wink and a handshake.
Those days are long gone. Only the most rigorous, self-imposed transparency can repair the damage done. As some in cycling have learned, so too baseball must accept that honesty at all costs is worthwhile. The truth will destroy reputations-but also set athletes free.
"I don't want to race with monsters anymore," Millar said recently in a New York Times interview. "I want to race with good guys who are trying to make a difference. I want to be that good guy."

When you think of the phrase "get wisdom", does it conjure up times when you were taught by someone that actually had wisdom? It's beyond difficult to get wisdom from anyone other than a wise person. The trouble with the world today is that there are far too many people who think they are wise...teaching people that believe pretty much anything they hear. What a sad scenario.
Being teachable does not mean that you are gullible, it just means that you are wise enough to know who you should be learning from and who is just full of themselves. Being teachable is being open to new ideas as long as they don't contradict God's ideas and precepts. You will be sure that when false teachers appear, you recognize them and don't allow that type of deception in your life. Being teachable also means that you are ready and willing to pass the wisdom that you have gained on to those that need it.
Having a humble spirit and being willing to admit your mistakes while making corrections is important in someone that is teachable. You have to be willing to admit that you are wrong when you are and allow the fruits of the Spirit to be a part of your life.
Being teachable brings wisdom and wisdom needs to be shared with those who are teachable. And so the circle of teachability goes on and on.

Moderator: How much attention should be paid to the sauces we put on grilled meat? My barbeque sauce recipe calls for butter, among many other ingredients.
Magee: I think it depends on how much sauce you are getting. If it's a little bit of sauce and the sauce has a little bit of butter I may not worry about that, but if you really are consuming a large amount of sauce, then it might behoove you to switch the butter to something else like canola oil in your sauce recipe. You could also probably use less, too. I wouldn't even think you would need to add anything in place of it; you could probably just get away with using a little less in the recipe.
Member question: I'm not a cold food lover, but using the oven in our St. Louis heat is no fun. Is there anything appetizing and healthy that can be cooked in the microwave? Seems no one actually cooks with the mike anymore -- just defrosting and reheating.
Magee: I personally don't like cooking meat in the microwave, because it eliminates the browning that takes place on the stove, and many of the flavors we enjoy come from browning. But I think it would be possible to do rice dishes with the microwave. Or a raspberry vinaigrette type poached fish in the microwave. I use the microwave constantly for vegetables. Another trick for summer is to make spaghetti sauce or lasagna and that type of things and freeze portions.
I live in California and it can get hot here, too. My family loves making a chicken Caesar salad. I buy the grilled chicken at a deli that we have near the house and then all I do is pretty much toss the salad with some veggies, my sliced chicken breast, and a light Caesar dressing with croutons. It's delicious, easy and cool.
Moderator: I always grill extra burgers. My teens can reheat them in the microwave and have burgers for lunch. What are some ideas for good picnic or barbeque foods that are already light?

In a couple of weeks I am cycling from Birmingham to Southampton (England, about 120 miles), and I plan to do 50 miles in each of the first 2 days, and 20 on the last. I am staying with friends on the way, to make it easier, but this is my first trip of this sort, and want to know if this seems reasonable, and also if there are any "golden rules" or tips to help me.
Also, carbohydrates are obviously crucial, but is there anything I really should know about eating when on the move, or helpful snack-type foods (like bananas) that will really help me.

39264 Lance Corporal PETER GOSLING.
9th Battalion, Yorkshire Regiment.
Killed in action, aged 24, on the 20th September 1917.
Born at West Hartlepool. Enlisted at Saltburn by Sea.
Son of Mary and the late Edward Gosling of North Skelton, N Yorkshire
Tyne Cot Memorial, Zonnebeke, Belgium
1901, Peter, aged 7, was living at 25 Richard St, North Skelton. He had been born at West Hartlepool, Co Durham.
His father, Edward, aged 51, was an Ironstone Miner below ground. He had been born in Long Sutton, Yorks.
His mother, Mary, age 49, had been born in Sleights, N Yorks.
He had two older brothers John 17, who was a horse driver in the mines and Herbert 15.
1911. Peter, aged 19, and his mother Mary, who is now a Widow, are listed as Visitors at the home of R Matson, 27 Princes St, Bishop Auckland.
Peter's occupation is Assistant Onsetter, Ironstone Mine, so presumably he was still living and working in Skelton.
The 9th (Service) Battalion, Yorkshire Regiment was Formed at Richmond, 22 September 1914.
It was attached to 69th Brigade, 23rd Division.
Prior to 1917 it had been involved in the Battles of the Somme in France.
Peter was killed in the Third Battle of Ypres.
An offensive was mounted by Commonwealth forces to divert German attention from a weakened French front further south.
The initial attempt in June to dislodge the Germans from the Messines Ridge was a complete success.
The Infantry attacked on the 31st July after a 2 week Artillery bombardment, which gave the Germans warning and destroyed the drainage of what was to start with a swampy plain.
One of the wettest Summers on record then turned the battleground into pits of mud in which men and horses drowned.
The campaign finally came to a close in November with the capture of Passchendaele.

Since when has EB not ripped off customers? This week I was lucky enough to return a 2nd hand game for $39 where JB had the exact same game new for $39. I got it 2nd hand from JB for $29.
And with game pricing look at WiiU games. They really need to be dropped too. Aliens CM for PS3 was priced at $59 where the WiiU version was $99. You get more on the PS3 version so why is the WiiU version so much more?
I only buy from EB when they price match. They have even called them a few times as they never believe the prices I quote them but I always get the cheaper price.
And by the specs and BC and just about everything else I'm not impressed with the PS4 at all. No BC so NO SALE for me. I already need have a PS2 and PS3 connected when I want to play PS2 or PS3 games instead of having 1 console thats able to play both. I'm not going to have 3 consoles connected as where will the Xbox720 go? I'm guessing the Xbox720 will be BC with all 3 consoles, the way it should be.

SILT, Colorado - The saga of Mark Anderson, a town resident whose yard was deemed too messy for town officials to let it be, apparently may soon come to an end.
Anderson, who lives at 230 N. Seventh St., across from Silt Town Hall, told the Post Independent that Municipal Judge Care (pronounced "carry") McInnis on Monday authorized town officials to clean up Anderson's property and send him the bill for the cleanup.
Anderson noted, however, that the city crew is not expected to begin working on his yard this week, because of inclement weather.
So, Anderson reasoned, that will give him another week to do some of the work himself.
"They may work with me a little bit and allow me to continue," he said of the impending cleanup. "At least it's some sort of temporary reprieve."
But, he added, he is worried about the town charging more than he can pay if town employees do the work.
"I'm cash poor, and three months behind my water bill," he told the Post Independent.
A 20-year Silt resident, Anderson had been given until April 1 to clear his yard of various stored vehicles, building materials, a semi-trailer and more.
"I'd made some progress," he told the Post Independent on April 16, but he admitted that the town did not see things in the same light.
Anderson was first told he had to clear out his yard in June 2012, when town zoning official Janet Aluise issued a memo describing his yard as "brimming with scrap metal, trash, junk, rubbish and about two feet of fill [dirt]."
A July 12, 2012, Silt Police report called Anderson's property a "public nuisance" in violation of town ordinances that require property owners to maintain their property.
The town ultimately summoned Anderson into court, starting with a preliminary hearing on Dec. 17, 2012, and continuing with his conviction on Jan. 18, 2013, for violating town ordinances.
He was fined $1,300 and given two weeks to clean up his yard or have it done for him. Judge McInnis extended that deadline to April 1 at a hearing in mid-February.
Anderson, who said in February that he had not worked for some time due to a physical disability, said on Tuesday he hopes to clear out more of what he agrees is "junk" in the coming days.
After that, he said, he's not sure what will happen.
Anderson has retained a sense of humor about the situation, saying at one point on Tuesday, "I'm thinking God must be trying to tell me to leave. Either God or the town of Silt, whichever comes first."
After pausing for a moment, he added, "I think we ought to turn [this property] into a church; if they can turn a bowling alley into a church ...," a reference to plans by a regional church to buy the Burning Mountain Bowl and Sports Bar in New Castle and turn it into a house of worship.

Jason D. Lee, Ran Gilad-Bachrach, and Rich Caruana
December 2013
In the mixture models problem it is assumed that there are K distributions θ1,…,θK and one gets to observe a sample from a mixture of these distributions with unknown coefficients. The goal is to associate instances with their generating distributions, or to identify the parameters of the hidden distributions. In this work we make the assumption that we have access to several samples drawn from the same K underlying distributions, but with different mixing weights. As with topic modeling, having multiple samples is often a reasonable assumption. Instead of pooling the data into one sample, we prove that it is possible to use the differences between the samples to better recover the underlying structure. We present algorithms that recover the underlying structure under milder assumptions than the current state of art when either the dimensionality or the separation is high. The methods, when applied to topic modeling, allow generalization to words not present in the training data.

Please help. I can't get Zimbra running on Fedora Core 5. Firstly I get DNS errors. Secondly when it is setup I cannot send e-mail between the local accounts.
The problem is that all the "guides" are archiac. It does not take in account someone that is new to Linux. I don't like to copy and paste something if I don't understand what I'm doing. Like the whole DNS issue. Don't understand what is the issue. I mos configured Linux to be the host in the network settings, why would I want to add all that MX and A DNS stuff if 127.0.0.1 / mad / mad.localdomain is the host? Why can't the Zimbra installation grab the correct host name and configure Linux and itself to work properly? Exchange is much easier to install. Obviously when I enter "host mad" it gives and error.
I know that you guys are very smart and would be able to at least point me in the right direction.

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
SPARCIN is a interview management software tool created by SPARC. Recently, the company announced that it is adding a crowdsourcing element to its service by opening the platform up to the public and accepting user-submitted content. In order to promote a better understanding of what crowdsourcing is, and why people feel motivated to contribute, SPARCIN put out the following infographic.

i read the phrase "motivate to contribute" and just wanted to say that money is the only real motivator. You pay thinkers, and they will spend time in thinking to give you useable ideas. The fans/consumers/regular folk on Facebook and elsewhere will give you ideas but the chances of getting a useable idea from them would be fractional compared to that of thinkers (who want money for ideas). Fansourcing will lead to lots of junk-to-sort-through. Ideasourcing (i.e. from regular idea thinkers) is the way to go. But the term Crowdsourcing of course includes both Ideasourcing as well as Fansourcing.

MIBS CZone tour, enabling the car-like boatBy Panbo Marine Electronics | March 18th, 2013
Written by Ben Ellison on Mar 18, 2013 for Panbo, The Marine Electronics Hub
In Miami Actuant Electrical invited a few boating writers like Ed Sherman, Steve D'Antonio and myself to tour several production boats that have chosen to use BEP CZone distributed power and digital switching systems. A highlight for me was getting to hear the founder of Scout Boats explain why he would do such a crazy thing. I joke of course -- and there's an argument that you have to be a little nuts to build boats anyway -- but Steve Potts (seen to the right of BEP's Jarrod Sagar above and interviewed here in Soundings) made a compelling case for why systems like CZone are critical to creating boats that really truly modern customers...
Video: Big Surprise in Small Viking Liferaft Box (Hint: It Seats 200)By Jason Y. Wood | March 13th, 2013
When you're looking at safety equipment for your boat, two things should come to mind: The number of people you need to protect from harm and the space you have on your boat. A new commercial liferaft turns the geometry of those figures on its head. The raft is stored in a box that measures roughly 3 feet wide, 3 feet tall, and 15 feet long. But it expands into a covered raft that seats 200 persons. It also has four electric motors, the better to steer out of trouble. Check out its first-ever deployment at Lauderdale Marina in Ft. Lauderdale.

Things I Just Don't UnderstandBy George Sass Jr. | March 12th, 2013
I like to think of myself as fully endorsing the glass-half-full philosophy. I've had some ups and downs over the years and thankfully have gained a little perspective along the way. To help maintain this inner Zen, I think it's healthy not to allow any pet peeves to pile up for too long. Here are several items that I just need to get off my chest so they quit nagging away at me.
Furuno at MIBS 2013; CHIRP, FCV587/627, and NavPilot FPS8By Panbo Marine Electronics | March 12th, 2013
Written by Ben Ellison on Mar 12, 2013 for Panbo, The Marine Electronics Hub
When I was at the in-water powerboat portion of the Miami show before it opened one morning, I discovered Furuno marketing manager Jeff Kauzlaric and product manager Eric Kunz making video. Of course I interrupted them for a photo but I was also hoping to see their long-rumored CHIRP fishfinder in action. But while it turned out that the big sonar screen behind Eric was not showing CHIRP, Furuno did announce the new DFF1-UHD during the show and Eric showed me the nifty NavPilot Safe Helm and Power Assist modes just about ready for release...
My Pebble, more PAN in PanboBy Panbo Marine Electronics | March 11th, 2013
Written by Ben Ellison on Mar 9, 2013 for Panbo, The Marine Electronics Hub
I've been waiting so long that disappointment loomed large. It was mid-April last year when I became a Kickstarter 'backer' in the Pebble E-Paper Watch for iPhone and Android, which really just meant that I might get a good deal by buying one upfront for delivery the following September. But I wasn't the only geek who thought they'd sniffed out a bargain. Though Pebble's Kickstarter goal was only $100,000, almost 69,000 backers sent them over 10 million dollars! Which was neat in the sense that the Pebble people could then make the watch waterproof and add other features, but not so great in that suddenly they had a LOT of watches to build, which took much longer than 'estimated'. However, I've been smiling about Pebble ever since I opened my mailbox last week and found the box with "It's Time" printed on it in large, ironic type...
This Ain't No Sports BarBy Capt. Steve Creel | March 7th, 2013
My friends refer to me as a hurricane magnet. Consider, for example, the years 2004 and 2005. I was living and working in southwest Florida in 2004 when Charley, Frances, and Jean came to visit. Then I moved to south Alabama to work with another yacht company in the fall of 2004, only to have Ivan partially destroy the marina we were moving into, so plans for the move were postponed. Shortly after opening a temporary office in Orange Beach, Alabama in 2005, Arlene came to town.

AC34 Mark/VIP vessels, seeking perfectionBy Panbo Marine Electronics | March 7th, 2013
Written by Dan Corcoran on Mar 7, 2013 for Panbo, The Marine Electronics Hub
A visit to the America's Cup World Series in Newport, RI in June 2012 provided an opportunity to tour the engineering spaces and helm of this second-generation mark/VIP boat as a follow-up to Ben's visit to hull number one. Before the engineering tour I spent the day on the race course in the vessel's predecessor, observing the racing and learning what drove the design improvements to this latest generation.
Navico's numbers, should you care?By Panbo Marine Electronics | March 5th, 2013
Written by Ben Ellison on Mar 5, 2013 for Panbo, The Marine Electronics Hub
As a privately held corporation Navico doesn't have to reveal anything about its financial state, but last week it issued a proud press release claiming a dramatic 15% sales increase in 2012, which resulted in revenues of 256 million dollars and EBITDA earnings of 41.4 million. And at the Las Palmas B&G event, the mother company added some claims about what their numbers meant versus the competition, as seen in the slide above. Is Navico painting a fair picture of where the recreational marine electronics market is at? Does it matter to consumers anyway?

My Son-in-Laws company has two branches. One in Eastbourne and one is Bath. It is a distance of 180 miles apart and one of the managers has the bright idea of doing a ride between the two branches---IN ONE DAY. To me that is the mad part as although I know there are a couple of "Keen" cyclists amongst them-only two of them have ever done a ride of 100 miles amongst the 20 that have shown interest.
I have suggested a couple of training rides to show the one that is planning the ride that it will not be possible for most of them to do the ride in one day. I know that in theory it should be possible- 180 / 12 mph- and it could be done in daylight but Physically it would finish most of them. My suggestion for the first training ride is just a 30 miler across the marshes so it would be flattish but would sort those that will have to do a lot of training to get fit. Or buy new bikes to be able to average 12mph as I know several of the bikes are "WallyMart" specials. This will show the competence of the "Team" to the one that has suggested the ride and that it is a foolhardy idea. The second ride will be up a few slopes and around 40 miles and will involve around 4,000 ft of climbing and being a circular route will find other things like Headwinds and Traffic.
I think the idea is not possible unless you are a competent century rider and you have plenty of gumption to be able to keep going when it hurts. There are only 3 or 4 accomplished riders amongst them and even they have said it is not possible.
So I have made a suggestion in that it be done as a relay. Start very early and have 2 3 or 4 riders at a time. Those riders can be matched to each other on speed and if the strong riders take on the hilly bits leaving those that just want to participate on the easier sections. I reckon that it would still take around 15 hours to complete but by using the relay system- then all would be able to take part in the hair brained scheme that someone has conceived.
So what are your thoughts? If you are just the average rider- how would you feel about attempting a ride like this? And if you are a double Centurion- do you agree that 180 miles in one day is doomed for failure?
I need your input as you can guess who will be training the weaker riders over the next 6 months And I don't like failing.

CP Strike Update: railway seeks injunctions against pickets
VANCOUVER -- Lawyers for CP Rail were back in court last night trying to get injunctions against striking workers at vital intermodal terminals.
After getting turned down by a B.C. judge on Friday, the railway returned to court with an affidavit, alleging that Teamsters Canada Rail Conference members were illegally intimidating truckers entering and leaving the Pitt Meadows yard in an attempt to cripple rail operations.
The union denies the charge, saying its workers are abiding by the law.
According to the Vancouver Sun, the affidavit states that CP could soon be unable to unload trains by the end of this week because the yard is too congested.
CP also filed for injunctions to limit protestors' activities in Calgary and its Etobicoke, Ont. facility.
So far injunctions have been granted at yards in Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Vaughan, Ont., just north of Toronto. Though, there are still extensive delays at those locations being reported.
The strike, which includes 3,200 CPR employees, is now a week old. No new talks between the railway and the union are scheduled.
The railway, which dispatched about 1,300 managers to take over for the striking track builders and maintenance workers, says that for the time being the strike hasn't derailed train schedules.
However, fleet owners and several independent truckers tell TodaysTrucking.com that the disruption is adding between four and six hours turnaround to a container run.
With those kinds of delays, says Frank Gentile of Titan Cartage in Toronto, it's only a matter of time before shipments are severely hampered.

Think you recognize any of the characters in Grand Theft Auto V? Lindsay Lohan does, and according to TMZ, the scandal-surrounded actress has contacted her lawyers and is in the process of suing the video game honchos for using her image without her permission. Apparently the game features a woman who looks Lindsay-ish, and the character comes complete with an egotistical attitude and desire to escape the paparazzi. Sound familiar?
Headlines and social media posts erupted on Saturday afternoon, as tragedy struck when The Fast and the Furious star Paul Walker and pro-racer Roger Rodas died in a fiery car crash in Southern California. Parallel to the outcome of the horrific event, the fate of the popular movie franchise was not looking good, since production for the seventh installment featuring Walker was already underway. However THR has reported that Fast & Furious 7 will not be scrapped. The Universal team met on Sunday and decided that, although it will be delayed, production will go on. Needless to say, things won't be the same without him.
This will be the 20th year in a row that Barbara Walters announces her picks for the 10 most fascinating people in the world, and this year the variety is endless. From J-Law to the cast of Duck Dynasty, Miley Cyrus to GMA news anchor Robin Roberts, who do you think should make the list? Unfortunately we can't tell you who who earned the top spot yet... but all will be revealed during her 90-minute telecast on December 18th.
From "Most Fascinating" to "Most Hated", she might get roles in some of the most popular movies in theaters, but Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to harsh criticism. Earlier this year Star Magazine named the A-list actress the "Most Hated Celebrity in Hollywood". But no matter how many "haters" Paltrow has, she'll always have a number one fan, and who better to stick up for her than her famous mom Blythe Danner? In fact, Naughty But Nice Rob reports that whenever Danner is asked about Paltrow, the protective mother goes off. But what's the cause for all of the negativity? According to the Meet the Parents actress, it's "people who are bored and sit on their asses all day and just tap away."
One A-lister to another... George Clooney has been a perpetual bachelor for almost as long as he's been in the spotlight. Sure, he's dated his fair share of gorgeous, successful women, but just when things start to seem serious, the charming heart-throb is back on the prowl. Well ladies, after his recent break up with Stacy Kiebler you might be in luck. According to a questionnaire done by British artist Tracey Emin, when asked who is, or was, the greatest love of his life, Clooney replied: "I haven't met her yet..." Here's to hoping!
Michael Jordan is going to be a dad... again! Terezowens.com was the first to report the happy news, that Jordan and his wife Yvette Prieto tied the knot earlier this year, and are expecting their first child in the next three months or less. This will be the fourth child for the former NBA star, who has three grown children with ex-wife, Juanita Vanoy. One more and he'll have enough to start his own team!

PHOENIX, Arizona, November 8. SEVERAL intriguing matchups are on the schedule this weekend in NCAA Division II dual meet action, including top-ranked UC San Diego and second-ranked Queens University of Charlotte.
UC San Diego, which remained atop the Endless Pools/Collegeswimming.com top 25 rankings for a second week, will travel to the University of California — Santa Barbara on Saturday for just their second competition of the season. Last weekend, the Tritons took on Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in their season-opening meet and both the men's and women's teams came away with a victory. Anji Shakya, the defending NCAA Division II national champion in the 200 free, earned victories in three individual events, and her time in the 500 free is ranked third nationally at 5:05.55. The Tritons boast 12 returning All-Americans on their roster and will also rely heavily on divers Luke Calkins and Garet Webster, who have already notched NCAA qualifying standards in the men's 1-meter and 3-meter events, respectively. UC Santa Barbara has won the last eight meetings between the two teams, and the Tritons will look to end that streak tomorrow afternoon.
After splitting an extremely close dual meet with conference rival Wingate on Wednesday, the Queens University of Charlotte men's and women's teams will be back in action on Saturday as they host Campbell and Davidson. The Royal women topped Wingate by a single point, 123-122, on Wednesday, while the Wingate men came out ahead, 140-105. The two schools have been jockeying for position behind UC San Diego in the Division II polls, and Queens currently has the edge. NCAA B cuts have begun to roll in for the Royals, as the women's team has been led by freshman Hannah Peiffer and sophomore Caroline Arakelian in that category. Freshman Matt Josa has continued to make a mark, setting a school record in the 100 fly on Wednesday at 47.91, which is more than a second faster than anyone else in Division II this year.
Seventh-ranked Delta State has a busy weekend ahead, as they'll race against Missouri S&T this afternoon (men only) and Drury tomorrow. Both the men's and women's teams are still hunting for their first win of the season after falling to Division I Alabama and Western Kentucky in October. Sprinters William Iles and Fabrice Wendel could provide a huge boost in the 50 and 100 free, as well as on relays in the men's meets, while the women's team boasts a strong mid-distance freestyle group and three swimmers with conference-leading times in backstroke (Kierstin Page), breaststroke (Kirsten Stroven) and IM (Melanie Tombers).
Other meets to look for this weekend include Grand Valley State against Michigan State tonight, and West Florida vs. LaGrange tomorrow.

A teenage serial bank robber the FBI dubbed the "I-55 Bandit" for a series of crimes in five states has been ordered to spend five years in federal prison.
Andrew Maberry, 19, of O'Fallon, Ill., was sentenced Friday.
Federal prosecutors say Maberry robbed 10 banks in Illinois, Missouri,West Virginia, Tennessee and Maryland from May of last year to the end of August. Some of the early robberies in Missouri and Illinois were near Interstate 55, prompting the nickname.
The FBI says that in each holdup, Maberry didn't show a weapon, and no one was harmed.

Twelve Months Out of Context
Oakland, Calif.
The Oakland Museum of California is the second stop in a tour of several U.S. cities (which began in St. Paul, Minn., last October, and goes next to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, St. Louis and five other cities) of a vivid, easy-to-absorb exhibition on America in the year 1968. It may hit viewers under the age of 60 as something of a revelation; for their elders, as an unwelcome memory trip.
The 1968 Exhibit
Oakland Museum of California
Through Aug. 19
The events of this overanalyzed crack in the second half of the 20th century are all recorded here: mounting losses by U.S. forces, after four years of fighting an unwinnable war in Vietnam; major demonstrations against the war in U.S. cities and universities, provoking violent responses from the forces of order, and climaxing in the chaos of the Democratic Party convention in Chicago; the assassinations of both Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy; the rioting by blacks (then a new word for Negroes) in at least 40 U.S. cities that followed King's assassination, leaving 46 dead; and the birth of the Black Power movement and the Black Panther party, whose attitude, rhetoric and weapons frightened many whites.
The exhibition begins in a comfortable, 1968-style American living room, its television set tuned to the evening's images of sweating, apprehensive American GIs on patrol in Vietnam, their progress shattered by gunbursts, and accounts from Walter Cronkite himself, wearing a helmet on the battlefront. The upper living-room space is invaded by a genuine, impeccably restored 1967 Bell UH-1H ("Huey") helicopter, the vehicle that ferried healthy soldiers in and wounded and dying soldiers out of the jungles of Vietnam, and sometimes rained down fire itself. It comes across not as a gimmicky stage-set, but as a vivid incarnation of what Michael Arlen aptly called "The Living Room War"—the first war in history that people at home watched every evening, up close and personal. Walk around the helicopter, and you discover that the back half of the Huey has been removed to make room for six video monitors over which six Vietnam veterans describe what life was like under fire.
The show continues, in a casually winding way, past about 30 free-standing booths or wall displays—of film footage, photos, posters, wall cards and artifacts (Chicago police helmets and nightsticks, Janis Joplin's gladrags, Black Pantner uniforms, symbols of the nascent Chicano and feminist rebellions of 1968)—that cover, even if cursorily, the signal events of the year. The most memorable images are those of King giving his final speech (it is as if he foresaw his death), of hundreds of people across the country watching (waving, waving flags, saluting) as Kennedy's funeral train passed, of the tumultuous violence both inside and outside the Chicago convention. Popular music, movies, TV shows, clothes and consumer products of the year also get their place.
The exhibition ends in what looks like the same living room, now equipped with a well-stocked bar and Christmas decorations. On the TV set now, Uncle Walter is counting down the lift-off of the Apollo 8 spaceship on Dec. 21. The TV images go on to show the astronauts' arrival in lunar orbit and their famous photographs of the blue-gray ball of Earth first coming into light. On Christmas Eve, one of them reads the first verses of the Book of Genesis to Earth. For one brief moment, we could pretend that all was calm, all was bright. Richard Nixon was headed to the White House, and America reached the moon's orbit first.
I learned nothing new from the exhibit, but then in 1968 I was living in Berkeley, amid regular street-filling demonstrations and predictable police responses. The rambling, heterogeneous nature of the displays (fashions, hit TV shows and rock music of the year are intermingled with more serious events) keeps it from preserving any continuity, or (frankly) making any point. Pertinent comparisons might have been made between today's relatively feeble "Occupy" movement and the far larger, better-organized protests of 1968 (in Paris, Prague and Mexico City as well as the U.S.)—all more widespread, dangerous and often effective. But the curators backed away from anything so potentially controversial, and left us with a scrapbook of 12 months of American images and headlines—as if nothing led up to them, and they led to nothing.
Mr. Littlejohn writes about West Coast cultural events for the Journal.
Corrections & Amplifications: An earlier version of this article said that Richard Nixon was in the White House in 1968.
