Optimist Worlds- Fine weather and light winds for first day of Teams
by Nathalie van Dort on 4 Jan 2012
Teams Racing - OptiWorldsNZ 2011 Matias Capizzano ©
After three days of individual racing the focus changed at the OptiWorlds with 40 national teams sailing in warm sun and light airs, on the first day of team racing.
'Each team has four sailors so some countries were excluded from today's racing' according to Pete Dawson Chairman of OptiWorldsNZ.
Team racing allows sailors to enjoy the short tactical duels, each team sails at least two races. Then the losing team is knocked out of the competition. When not racing, the sailors are rafted up and eating with their team mates, often from other countries.
There was also a strong contingent of shore based supporters including their national flags as the sailing took place within 100 meters of the beach with commentaries provided and ice creams close at hand.
At the end of the first days' racing a heat between China and Spain remains to be sailed with the following teams progressing through to the second days racing: USA, Peru, Malaysia, Sweden, Norway, Brazil, Croatia, Singapore, Thailand, the Netherlands, Portugal, Denmark, Argentina and Poland. Tomorrow's racing will see 16 teams contest the competition, with New Zealand knocked out of the competition by Spain today.
'Team racing is all about tactics with the aim to ensure that your whole team (4 boats) incurring the lowest number of points' says Mr Dawson. 'Each race is a knock out duel with the losing team being eliminated from the competition'.
As a consequence it makes an ideal spectacle for the public to enjoy as the races are of a short duration and the results are immediate. There is even a race score board on the beach for the public to see who is winning and with cool drinks and ice creams close at hand, who can resist?
Racing conditions for tomorrow are predicting another warm day with northwest breezes. Racing starts at 10.00am. Friday is a Lay Day and the individual racing continues with race 7 on Saturday.
The provisional leader board (for the individual racing) shows: 1 Ryan Lo (SIN) 14 points, 2 Bart Lambriex (NED) 23 points, 3 Javier Arribas (PER) 25 points, 4 Wade Waddell (USA) 32 points, 5 Leonard Takahashi-Fry (NZL) 33 points, 6 Peter Lin Janezic (SLO) 40 points, 7 Philip Meijer (NED) 41 points, 8 Ahmad Syukri Abdul Aziz (MAS) 41, 9 William Marshall (USA) 44 points, 10 Miel Verstraete (BEL) 44 points.

LG G Flex vs Nokia Lumia 1520
Overall, it's safe to say that both handsets borrow from past devices, so we wouldn't say that they're dramatically different. Despite that, we'll give the stylish look to the Lumia 1520, mainly due to its chic tapered design in conjunction with the various bright colored paint jobs it's offered in. Then again, the G Flex is unique in itself for its unconventional curved design, giving it the ability to go back into shape after being flattened, and its self-healing rear casing. When it comes to the in-the-hand feel, we're going to give it to the LG G Flex because of its ergonomic and more comfortable feel. Honestly, it's tough which design we prefer more, seeing that they a handful of characteristics we like.

What we have here are two 6-inch displays, one employing IPS-LCD technology, the other being OLED. Looking at strictly at their qualities, there's no arguing we get a higher level of it with the 6-inch 1080p (368 ppi) IPS-LCD display of the Lumia 1520. Not only is it more detailed than the 6-inch 720p (245 ppi) P-OLED panel of the G Flex, but it also proves to be more visible in outdoor conditions. Although it's being outclassed in the specs department, the G Flex's flexible plastic OLED display is undeniably rare, one that's able to flex accordingly without any worries in regards to it breaking or shattering. Yes, it's cool, impressive, and innovative, but we've come across some distracting elements, like some odd color banding and spottiness, that appear when the brightness is set at 50% or below.

1520 for me.
5. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
I'm not fan of either, but if I really had to choose, I'd go with 1520 because of hardware and camera, though I'm not WP liker at all. Also I think that the color of Gflex looks awful.
2. lalalaman (Posts: 637; Member since: 19 Aug 2013)
No comparison in terms of camera, battery, screen and UI...1520 wins here...g flex fought hard here though bt the price is too damn high
6. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
Agreed, LG software is not nice looking at all (but you can replace it with rooting, though that is definitely not everyone's cup of tea).
3. MarkArigayo (Posts: 240; Member since: 18 Dec 2013)
Vote for LG G2.
4. MarkArigayo (Posts: 240; Member since: 18 Dec 2013)
Sorry, I meant G Flex. Absolutely.
7. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
The 1520 wins for me because of the awesome hardware, and the awesome WP8 software... Win-win situation. The 1520 is the perfect device for me...
9. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Awesome WP8? hahaha nice one!
13. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
Is it so hard to understand why people would prefer WP8 to Android? Android has more customization and multitasking, and a select few features that I would love to see in WP8, but it is not without it's flaws... such as clutter, lag, and fragmentation (to name a few). Android is fantastic, but some of us prefer the more organized straightforward approach offered by WP8.
16. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
Android doesn't have serious lag anymore. And you are right. WP8 and iOS are good for people who just want their OS simple and to just work like clockwork. No OS is for best or perfect.
17. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
While not necessarily serious, there is still lag. How much lag depends on your device and what is running on it. Some devices still lag pretty bad (like the Galaxy Mega).
23. taikucing (unregistered)
bloatwares & UI skin of Galaxy Mega makes it lag.
25. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Stock Android devices generally don't lag. If they do, it's not nearly as noticeable or often as devices with an OEM skin.
31. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
The only stock Android device that I've noticed no lag on is the G2... and I imagine it does once you start installing new apps. As for the claim that bloatware & UI cause the lag, that is mostly true. However, most phone sold nowadays have bloatware and the UI of the manufacturer. It doesn't deter me from getting Android phones, but my daily driver is still WP8.
38. sniper1087 (Posts: 532; Member since: 31 Dec 2011)
I have used a lot of phones, and I mean a lot iphone 5S, nexus 5, note 3, lumia 1020, lumia 1520, moto x and even bb 10 devices, the worst lag experienced was out of the high end devices without a doubt the note 3, the samsung UI downright sucks, and there are claims saying even the S5 will have the same one, best experience is hard to choose, android has the best experience on the moto x, loud speakers and great performance and ok battery, screen is ok, also voice commands, active display, and moto assist. iphone 5S simple but combines features from ios and google, and yes people might hate on apple, but you can do things like make reservations to a restaurant from your phone, and that I think is a unique feature, and of course google voice and good apps. the nokia lumia 1520 is a behemoth, but display is amazing, the live tiles work really well with the 3 rows, videos, just a joy to watch on, battery runs for a couple of days, great camera, and is lacking some of the apps and voice commands, everything else works well. There are features for everybody, windows 8.1 might change how we look at things, hopefully things get more interesting, like to see WP8 become even bigger.

None of them, there're better offers out there; G2, Note 3, Z1..
11. amirlukmanhisyam (Posts: 44; Member since: 26 Jun 2012)
How about the sound for the video recording?
27. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
The 1520 has not 2 HAAC microphones like the 920, not 3 like the 1020, but 4 total HAAC rich recording mics.. Now, with 2 HAACRRM on the 920,, the 920 has better sound capturing quality than the LG.. How good do you think the 1520 is compared to the Flex❔
12. jellmoo (Posts: 2035; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
The Ars review of the G Flex has all the information needed as to why you should stay well clear of the device. The 1520 wins by default, but I still don't see any particular reason for it to exist as the flagship WP device.
Until somebody can make a phablet that has the productivity value of the Note series, the phablet world remains a one horse race.
14. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
I disagree. The only "real" advantage that the Note 3 has over the 1520 is true multitasking. One could also argue that, while it is a great feature, it isn't necessarily needed on a phone.
15. jellmoo (Posts: 2035; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
The S Pen is pretty much the cream of the crop when it comes to actual productivity. Multitasking is a perk, sure, but it's the benefit of that S Pen that places the Note series on the top of the pile.
18. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
IMO, the S Pen is a gimmick. It has some cool features, but it gives no advantage from a productivity standpoint that I've noticed. In no way am I saying the 1520 is a better phone. I think they are both great, in their own way. It all comes down to preference and I personally prefer the Lumia 1520.
19. jellmoo (Posts: 2035; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Maybe it's a matter of having used it, but the S Pen does an awful lot for productivity in my opinion. The ability to jot down very quick notes in a meeting or add annotations to things is brilliant.
If the 1520 had such a feature I would give it the nod in a heartbeat. My issue with the device though is that it is large just for the sake of being large. The extra size doesn't actually add much in the way of feature set.
20. papss (unregistered)
I think the s pen only matters to some users. I had a note 3 and the s pen was only usable in certain moments but i found that i used it less and less over a short period of time. Great overall phone but android isnt my cup of tea.. even went to a g2 and while its also great i still want my wp8 device back... so long story short ive now ordered my l1520..
21. jellmoo (Posts: 2035; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Absolutely no doubt. Different strokes for different folks. Even though I'm using a Moto X right now, WP has a place in my heart and I'll definitely be back to it.
I just wish that the 1520 had additional features that took advantage of the size. Even something as simple as the large tile size being larger and going across the entire screen would be nice.
22. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
Its not just large for the sake of being large though. Unlike it's Android cousin's, the 1520 actually makes use of the extra screen space. Instead of making everything bigger (which would be counterproductive), they gave me an extra column to pin more stuff. Basically, I have one tap access to everything that I need without any need for scrolling. While that is a different approach than adding a stylus, it is no less effective.
34. snowgator (Posts: 3604; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
In no way is the S-Pen a gimmick, any more then "Rooms" or Kids Corner" in WP are gimmicks. It is a feature that works excellently to those that use them, and is unimportant to those that do not. The S-Pen is a productivity tool that absolutely works to the advantage of Note owners.
I do get a little tired of reviewers beating people over the head with it as a reason to cross off other devices in it's class, but it is a unique advantage Samsung has applied well to it's series.
28. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
And, its just waist of battery power.. I've never needed to multitask like this on a smartphone.. On the other side WP could be a little more powerful on the multitasking side when it comes to video playback.. That's about it,, otherwise WP is great❕

Rose gold engagement rings
Rose gold engagement rings consist of a mixture of gold and other metals such as copper and silver. The combination of these metals alters the color so for instance, the more copper that is present in the mixture, the more pink the metal will appear, which is why these rings are also known as pink gold engagement rings.
While rose gold engagement rings look stunning with a classic white diamond, they also look impressive with an array of gemstones including sapphires and rubies.
Rose gold is a versatile metal and can be worn with existing yellow and white gold jewellery, making it a popular choice for those who have an existing collection that they would wish to wear with their engagement ring.
Often associated with beauty, rose gold is a delicate and pretty metal choice, perfect for those who want something a little unique while still keeping their engagement ring design feminine.

Bubba Watson Family
April 9, 2012 by staff
Bubba Watson Family, Masters champion Bubba Watson revealed his next challenge will be changing the diaper of his newly-adopted son. Watson won his first major title by defeating South African Louis Oosthuizen on the second hole of a sudden death playoff on a dramatic final day at Augusta National.
The big-hitting American was reduced to tears after the victory, which came less than a month after adopting a baby boy named Caleb with wife Angie and 18 months after the passing of his father Gerry following a lengthy battle with throat cancer.
'The thing is, golf is not my everything,' Watson said.
'But for me to come out here and win, it's awesome for a week and then (to) get back to real life.'
'I haven't changed a diaper yet, so (I'm) probably going to have to change a diaper pretty soon.'
After missing a putt to potentially win the famous Masters green jacket on the first playoff hole, the left-handed 33-year-old produced a remarkable shot from the trees on the 10th that set him up for his most famous triumph.
'The first time I ever worked with my caddie, Boston, six years ago, I told him, 'if I have a swing, I've got a shot',' Watson said.
'So I'm used to the woods. I'm used to the rough. We were walking down and I said, 'we were here already. We hit it close here already today', because I was in those trees.'
'I got there. I saw it was a perfect draw, a perfect hook.'
Watson, who established himself as an Augusta National crowd favourite, had to calm himself down rather than feeding off the fans' energy as one of the most memorable Masters finishes in recent history reached its climax.
'As an athlete, as a golfer, this is the Mecca,' Watson said.
'This is what we strive for, to put on the green jacket, to win golf tournaments.'

Hello, that looks like a Brooks B72 saddle on that classic steed. I have one like it on a 1973 Lady's Raleigh Roadster and the frame is without flaw but the leather went to pot and is cracked and gives off black for the last few years (neatsfoot oil ?) Question is can I get Brooks or someone in the USA (Parsons ?) to recover it? any info would be greatly appreciated. Another Brooks B 72 on a Raleigh 1976 is super it is a antique brown and beautiful. Thanks EdReplyDelete
Very nice classy bike. If you mount a lantern on it be sure to flip the holder as it is upside down in the picture. Does it have a Raleigh Heron design on it as Raleighs do. ? Thanks EdReplyDelete

The education system is changing and so, too, the education of teachers, with increasing complexity and growing demands placed on the profession driving fundamental reform to training and qualifications.
The one-year diploma of education, or DipEd, used to suffice as a postgraduate qualification. But it is being replaced by a two-year master of teaching degree, or MTeach, giving graduates the opportunity for greater in-depth study and longer, more structured practicum placements. Professional standards for teachers and teacher education program accreditation, designed by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership, require that all initial teacher education graduate programs move to two years, Professor Tania Aspland, the president of the Australian Teacher Education Association, says.
The DipEd has already been phased out for primary school teachers and by 2015 all one-year programs must be two-year master of teaching programs.
''To become a great teacher you need deep content knowledge and curriculum, pedagogy and assessment expertise plus some broadening courses or electives,'' Aspland says.
The two-year program enhances ''the quality of student engagement in these key areas''.
In Finland, which tops the international education rankings, all teachers graduate with a master's in education.
''Around the globe the best-performing schooling systems are the ones in which they place a great premium upon the qualifications and expertise of their teachers,'' the chief executive of the NSW Institute of Teachers, Patrick Lee, says.
The MTeach ''gives graduates in the primary area specialised study in each of the key learning areas that they have to teach''.
''In secondary education, where you get a master's-level course, you get a research component and greater depth of study,'' Lee says. ''It brings it in line with some of the best-performing education countries around the globe.''
Feedback indicated that the two-year course ''gives a greater solidity for the teachers as they start their career'', Lee says. ''Generally the teachers feel they've been more strongly prepared.''
The aim is to make graduate teachers better prepared to handle the increasing complexity of today's school system.
The two-year courses, widely offered by universities, ''provide opportunities for prospective teachers to undertake in-depth professional studies in all areas of teacher education requirements'', according to the NSW Institute of Teachers.
They ''provide our future teachers with enhanced connections between 'theory and practice' and the opportunity for more structured professional experience placements''.
The Department of Education and Communities has more than 60,000 full-time, full-time-equivalent, temporary and casual teachers. Each year, about 8000 people are approved to teach in the state school system. The bachelor of education course, of four years, or an equivalent integrated degree combining an academic discipline with education, remains as it was, a degree course that entitles the graduate to apply to become a teacher.
Among those who have gained degrees in other disciplines such as arts or science, and who are required to do a postgraduate course to become teachers, there is some support for retaining the one-year DipEd. It has been enough for generations of teachers who have gone before. And university graduates have become impatient and want to get into the workforce sooner rather than later. Some of today's new DipEd graduates, who will be the last of their breed, say they feel prepared for the job.
But there are misgivings when confronted with some of the challenges. For the two-year trained master's graduates, there is just that little extra confidence.
Farrah Bassam, born in 1989, was schooled in Canberra, Lebanon and Sydney before gaining her Higher School Certificate at Moorefield Girls High in Kogarah in 2006. She enrolled at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) to double-degree in biomedical and forensic sciences. But towards the end of her course she thought more and more about teaching. ''I loved the idea of teaching and I loved science, so I decided to put them together,'' she says. ''I was thinking about doing a DipEd. Then I heard about the master's so I enrolled to do a two-year MTeach degree at Sydney University.''
Bassam, 23, who is completing her second four-week practical teaching ''block'' at Blakehurst High in Sydney's south, says the past 16 months, which comprised most of the course work, had ''gone so quickly''.
She did her first four-week block at Beverly Hills Girls High last year and wants to go back there for her nine-week ''internship'', which is part of Sydney University's MTeach course.
Being a Muslim, she relates readily to the pupils from non-English-speaking backgrounds, who make up a high proportion of that school's population.
Bassam believes emphatically that there must be two-year teacher training for graduates. ''If you do one year, you do not learn enough,'' she says. ''I have to apply what I have learnt in theory. I want to teach the students to have aspirations and goals and to help them get there.''
There were so many skills that the modern teacher had to have, including familiarity with iPods and phones. Every student had those, and a laptop. ''I utilise the technology to go hand-in-hand with my lesson plan,'' she says.
And challenging behaviour? Her answer was to provide variety so that the pupils did not get bored. ''I try to have a mix of PowerPoint presentations, practical information and a bit of fun with interactive worksheets.''
At Bonnyrigg High, in Sydney's south-west, Zoe van Munster, 22, daughter of a Vietnam veteran and who went to school in Macquarie Fields, also swears by the MTeach degree she has completed. After a bachelor of arts from the University of Western Sydney (UWS), she enrolled in a MTeach course with the same university and pushed herself to squeeze in the English and drama studies she had selected to complete it in one year.
Normally MTeach students would take a little longer to finish, and had she also opted to do extra courses in history it would have taken 18 months.
In the UWS master's course, she is obliged to do two five-week practical teaching blocks, and two weeks' ''community service'', which is teaching outside the classroom, such as choreographing a school musical. She did her blocks at John Therry Catholic High School in Rosemeadow and at Cabramatta High.
''I loved prac teaching,'' she says. ''It is not till then that you decide whether you are up to being a teacher or not. I first looked at teaching when I was doing years 11 and 12. The teachers at school helped me make up my mind.''
Like other master's graduates, she must be accredited with the institute and reach professional competence in her first few years of teaching, which means she has to meet professional standards in areas such as teaching skills, student assessment, classroom management, reporting on students and other performance criteria. ''When you get out into the real world, there is a lot of work ahead of you,'' she says. ''It is good to be as prepared as you can.''
At Hoxton Park High School, near Fairfield, Loraine Bou, 22, born of Cambodian refugee parents, is a DipEd graduate from the University of NSW. A former Westfield Sports High student from Fairfield and a graduate in biotechnology from UTS, she took to teaching after she coached some of her younger cousins in physics and chemistry for their HSC and was delighted to see they did so well.
''At the end of my biotechnology course I did not really want to sit in a lab,'' she says. ''I actually love socialising with people. I was really interested in education.'
Bou thinks the one-year course she did was enough. ''We [my friends and I] were told we could do a two-year course but a lot of my friends opted out of the MTeach and did a DipEd,'' she says. ''After you do your last practical, you just want to get out and teach. You don't really want to go back to university. I think I really did equip myself in that year. The tutors and demonstrators were fantastic … I had enough mentoring to equip me to teach.''
But Bou, in her first year of teaching, has seen the downside of teaching. She has had classes of young pupils who were very noisy and loud and ''don't always follow instructions straight away''. She has developed a new teaching arrangement and brought the rowdy pupils under control. ''Theory is essential but, yes, practical is very important,'' she says.
''I think preparation for how to deal with really challenging students was theory-based but it would have been nice to see really exaggerated examples of challenging behaviour … At university I don't think I had enough training in that area. You are engaging in real students and real teaching and real staff and real situations.''

HP Pavilion 1260EA Notebook/Tablet PC
Buy Now...
It comes in a black case with a rather nice discrete pattern on the lid. It is 30x24.5x4cm with the larger battery attached. The biggest drawback for anyone wanting a tablet PC is the weight it's 2.25kilos and as far as I'm concerned that's quite a lot to carry around all day.
The front has the on/off slider, twin ear bud sockets (so you can watch DVD's as you travel with a companion) and a microphone socket. Also on the front is a wireless network slider. The right side has a USB2 socket, Ethernet port, 'Expansion Port 3', external VGA socket. The rear has two further USB2 ports (mounted on top of each other so certain items will not always fit) and a modem port. The larger battery extends 2cm from the back. The left side has PCI Express port and SD card socket as well as a DVD multi and LightScribe drive.
Open the unit and there are six LED's built around the screen as well as twin microphones. The screen is 26x16cm giving the notional 12.1inch diagonal screen measurement. The base of the screen has two Altec Lansing speakers built in.
When used as a notebook you see three further LED's behind the 85 key keyboard where all the alpha and numeric keys are full size. There is a six cm band in front of the keyboard. There is a near centrally mounted metal track-pad that I found did not allow good movement when the finger was anything but completely dry.
There is a sixty day evaluation of Microsoft Office (Student Version) and a similar length of Norton Security Suite. The operating system is Microsoft Vista Home Premium. I found the time taken for boot-up and shut-down varied wildly but it averaged out at 90seconds to boot and 30 seconds to shut-down.
The Windows experience index is a rather disappointing 2.4 mainly because of the gaming graphics, remember Vista always scores to the lowest components. The desktop graphics score is 2.9 while the hard disc gives a nice 5.0 the AMD Turion 64 processor returns 4.7 and the RAM returns the highest figure of 5.9.
There is a 150GB hard disc with all but 8GB as drive 'C' and drive 'D' holding a recovery of the software. There is the almost obligatory 2GB of RAM and this is all but a requirement for Vista.
It seems this unit ships with two batteries a smaller one that I struggled to make last beyond two hours even using the 'HP Recommended' power play and the larger one that my best was 204 minutes. Both of the batteries were tested with a range of use including some DVD watching and the larger battery just about has enough power for a two hour DVD. I suppose that is what the small remote control is for but with a 12 inch screen you are hardly going to be more than arms length away. The side mounted fingerprint reader is more useful for those who forget their password.
As a tablet the screen can be switched so it can be used both portrait and landscape and the handwriting module works ok with the provided stylus. As stated I have concerns over the battery life surely with two batteries you should have enough power for a working day (eight hour) and to my mind the 'HP Recommended' setting is a little dim both in contrast and brightness for my old eyes. My other concern is the weight you need to be fitter than me to carry this 2.25 kilos around in your hand all day assuming you are writing with your other hand on the screen with the stylus.
While the AMD chip performed well on loaded software such as graphics and CAD the actual installations were sluggish but that could be down to the Norton software.
Doing my Internet searches did not find the HP Pavilion 1260EA. I am told it is available at a best price of £799 from PC World, it is not currently on their site. However it is very new and so prices could well drop if it becomes more widely available. Currently it is not shown on the HP site either. As a notebook it is okay as a media centre PC fine as a tablet it's just too heavy, as a combination you must decide.

Today, we have our first solo post from Don Valdez, AKA DV from the 24 Mockery feature…
Why am I a Mets fan? When I was about four years old my father threw me a bag and said if you catch this you get to keep what's inside. I dropped the bag twice. On the third time I did catch the bag and inside was a Mets hat.
162 days out of the year I ask myself… Why I did I accept this gift when I clearly dropped the bag twice? The baseball gods were clearly trying to help me out. Alas, I ignored their signs. And here I am.
Were there good times? Of course there were good times. Were there bad times? No. Simply saying there were bad times would be a horrific understatement.
This will likely turn into a recurring article—as every few days I plan on confessing I am a Mets fan and how much it blows.
April 29th 2010 – Today's Confession… I Hate the Mets…
Every Mets fan hates the Mets. They also hate themselves but at the risk of turning this into a Freudian case study we'll focus on why Mets fans hate the Mets (most importantly why I hate the Mets).
Even in victory the METS SUCK!
1969… AMAZIN' Someone Figured Out Double Oral and The Mets Won the World Series
History states…with three weeks to go in the season, the underdog Mets stormed past the Chicago Cubs, who had led the Eastern Division for most of the season, winning 38 of their final 49 games for a total of 100 wins and capturing the first National League Eastern Division crown. Then the New York Mets—who had never finished higher than ninth place— won the World Series.
Did you notice who the Mets stormed past? THE CHICAGO CUBS! The only team in the National League cursed worse than they are! They didn't win because they were good. They won to rub it in the face of every poor hopeless Cubs fan out there. Chicago Cubs Nation… I ask for your penance and forgiveness.
1986… The Bad Guys Won
I'm pretty sure no explanation is needed here. Just read the headline above "A Season of Brawling, Boozing, Bimbo Chasing…
And do I really have to remind you the Mets once again crossed paths with a team cursed worse than themselves? The BOSTON RED SOX! If you don't remember that the Red Sox sucked for like 80 years you are probably too young to be reading Living with Balls Go to Google and start doing searches on dirty words like a normal 10 year old.
1999… Courage and Stupidity Together Again.
One of my favorite moments in Mets history is the Robin Ventura Grand Single. It was Game 5 of the 1999 National League Championship Series between the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves. In the bottom of the 15th inning (Yes, the 15th INNING!), the Mets loaded the bases against Braves relief pitcher Kevin McGlinchy. Then Mets catcher Todd Pratt drew a bases loaded walk, tying the score 3-3.
This brought Mets third baseman Robin Ventura to the plate. I remember thinking: the Braves are up on the Series 3 to 1. Even if we get a hit here the Mets can't come back to take the series. Ventura looked tired, as I'd imagine everyone was after 15 grueling innings.
Then it happened, Ventura crushed a 2-1 pitch over the wall in right-center. The stadium erupted! Grand Slam! Or was it… As it turned out the place went into such a frenzy, Ventura never reached second base as Todd Pratt accosted Ventura in celebration. Ventura was then mobbed by the rest of his teammates and never finished his trot around the bases. The official scorer realized this and credited Ventura with a single…thus robbing the Mets of three runs in the stat book.
What a spectacular memory. Oh yeah… the Mets lost the next game and the series when Kenny Rogers walked in the winning run with the bases loaded.
There you have it: Three Reasons why the Mets suck even in victory.
With that I will leave you with this question…
One of these men is a Mets fan, the other a Yankee fan… But which is which?

July 8, 2010 BY John Kim
The Air Jordan Alpha 1 popped up onto the radar recently when Chicago fans sent LeBron James a mysterious package containing a pair of the Alpha 1, asking King James if he could fill those shoes. At this point, it seems like LeBron is spurning the challenge altogether, as Chicago is seemingly out of the running for James' services. Focusing back on the shoes, this new colorway of the Air Jordan Alpha 1 was brought to our attention; it features the familiar Bulls-inspired colorway but the upper features a half-and-half colorway of white and red, almost as if the shoe was dipped in white paint. These Alpha 1s, unlike the ones sent to LeBron, have yet to hit the radar, so check out the extra images after the jump and let us know what you think. via Kenlu.

Osman, Kahar and Md. Sheriff, Jamaluddin and M. Z., Bahak and A., Bahari and Asral, Asral (2010) Numerical solution of hydrodynamics lubrications with non-newtonian fluid flow. In: 10th Asian International Conference On Fluid Machinery, 21–23 October 2009, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3464884
This paper focuses on solution of numerical model for fluid film lubrication problem related to hydrodynamics with non-Newtonian fluid. A programming code is developed to investigate the effect of bearing design parameter such as pressure. A physical problem is modeled by a contact point of sphere on a disc with certain assumption. A finite difference method with staggered grid is used to improve the accuracy. The results show that the fluid characteristics as defined by power law fluid have led to a difference in the fluid pressure profile. Therefore a lubricant with special viscosity can reduced the pressure near the contact area of bearing.

Warren Sapp Arrested for Domestic Battery in Miami
This Sunday probably isn't going to be so super for Warren Sapp. TMZ reports that the former NFL star and Dancing With the Stars runner-up was arrested and charged with domestic battery on Saturday afternoon, following an allegedly violent early-morning confrontation with his girlfriend.
The reported altercation occurred at approximately 5 a.m. on Saturday at the Shore Club Hotel in Miami, where Sapp is in town for today's Super Bowl. Sapp's girlfriend told police that she and Sapp began arguing about men that the girlfriend had been hanging out with on Friday night.
According to the girlfriend, Sapp pulled her out of bed, "grabbed her and began to choke her" and eventually tossed her out of the room. The arrest report notes that the alleged victim had "a swollen right knee and bruises on the back of her neck."
While being questioned by police, Sapp claimed that, while he originally allowed her to stay in his room, he decided otherwise later because "he was expecting company." Sapp maintains that the alleged victim fell while he was trying to help her.
In light of the incident, the NFL Network, for whom Sapp serves as an analyst, released a statement noting that Sapp will not appear on the network until they review the situation.

Todd Nature Reserve, Audubon Society provide outlets for bird enthusiasts
Sunday is National Take a Hike Day, and the folks at Todd Nature Reserve are celebrating with an hour-long, naturalist-led exploration of the property.
Located in Sarver, Todd Nature Reserve sits on 176 acres and is the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania's first reserve as well as a part of the Buffalo Creek Watershed Conservation Plan and Pennsylvania Audubon's Buffalo Valley Very Important Bird Area program.
"Todd's an interesting spot because it has some really beautiful landscape features that you don't see not only at our other reserves but in this area of Western Pennsylvania," ASWP environmental educator Gabi Hughes said. "There are several streams throughout the property and hemlock forests that line the streams. It's a great chance to get out in late fall before winter starts."
The hike begins at 1 p.m. and there is a $6 fee for members and a $10 fee for nonmembers.
The ASWP also will soon begin its Christmas bird count training programs. The 114th annual bird count, administered by the National Audubon Society, takes place throughout the Pittsburgh area on Dec. 28. The count started as a conservationist's alternative to the Christmas side hunt tradition that was popular before the turn of the century in which people would engage in a bird-hunting competition.
Training sessions are being offered at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Saxonburg Library, 6:30 p.m. Dec. 2 at Beaver Area Memorial Library and 10 a.m. Dec. 7 at Succop Conservancy in Butler.
"With the training, we're trying to spread the word about it so that people can become involved," Hughes said. "It's an important event and important to get more people involved because they do actually use the data collected in scientific research, and it's not just related to birds. It also tells us more about the world around us."
The citizen-driven census spreads volunteer counters out across the nation to tally the species and number of birds they see during a 24-hour period. One doesn't have to be an expert birder to take part, Hughes said, and when possible local count leaders will work to pair first-timers with those who have more experience. Each count nationwide begins at midnight and ends at midnight the following day. Volunteers only need to count for as long as they are able.
"I will tell you, though, that some people count for the entire day," Hughes said. "There are definitely some folks who'll go out and look for owls and make an entire day of it. A lot of folks look forward to it, and it's a big part of their holiday season."

Youth unemployment could top 1 million again next year
Year and a half before unemployment falls
An extra two hundred thousand people in Britain could be without a job by this time next year, according to new analysis by the think tank IPPR. The latest unemployment figures are published on Wednesday and could show a fall.
But while unemployment has recently been falling, IPPR analysis of the Office for Budget Responsibility's latest forecasts shows there could be worse to come next year. Unemployment will not 'peak' until 2014, according to the OBR, and might not get back to where it is now until the end of 2015.
IPPR analysis - based on the pattern of the increase in 2011, a period of similar labour market change - shows that 86,000 extra young people aged under 25 could join those already unemployed. IPPR analysis also shows that long-term unemployment could rise by 32,000 to a total of 926,000. An extra 47,000 people aged over 50 could become unemployed.
IPPR North analysis shows how, around the country, unemployment could rise next year:
- an extra 64,000 people could be unemployed in the North West
- an extra 53,000 people could be unemployed in London
- an extra 23,000 people could be unemployed in Yorkshire & Humberside
- an extra 20,000 people could be unemployed in the East of England
- an extra 20,000 people could be unemployed in the North East
- an extra 18,000 people could be unemployed in Scotland
- an extra 12,000 people could be unemployed in Wales
- an extra 7,000 people could be unemployed in the South East
- an extra 4,000 people could be unemployed in the East Midlands
But unemployment could fall by:
- 11,000 in the West Midlands
- 7,000 in Northern Ireland
- 2,000 in the South West
Spencer Thompson, IPPR Researcher, said:
"While unemployment has been falling over recent months, the latest forecast from the OBR suggests that worse is to come. With the economy predicted to return to negative growth, the forecast for unemployment is bad news too.
"The outlook is especially bleak for young people and the long-term unemployed. Hundreds of thousands are at risk of permanent 'scarring' in the labour market: having their long-term outlook damaged by long periods of unemployment or by a difficult and patchy entry into the world of work.
"The Government should guarantee a job, paid at the minimum wage or above, to anyone who has been out of work and claiming JSA for more than 12 consecutive months. If people do not want to take up this offer, they should be expected to find an alternative that does not involve claiming JSA."

HE has sung for the Queen and performed all over the world, but this week singer Alfie Boe was back in the north west.
Despite only returning to the UK a few weeks ago following a tour across America, the 39-year-old tenor was hitting the road to promote his new album and his fans queued at Tesco Extra, in Lugsdale Road, Widnes, to get the chance to meet him.
Speaking to the World before the signing, he said: "I've been through Widnes a few times on the way to Liverpool as I'm a Liverpool fan and I did some rehearsals here when I was doing a show at the Philharmonic.
"I'm thrilled to be here though. One of the good things about doing things like this is that I get to meet the people who are buying my music, it's not often you get the opportunity to do that.
"Yes okay you see them at your show when you perform live, but when you can actually meet them and have a little chat and a photograph with them it becomes very personal.
"Sometimes it's quite touching as you see people who maybe have a few problems going on in their world and their lives and then they explain to me how my music has changed and helped them."
The Tony award winner from Fleetwood, near Blackpool is currently dividing his time between homes in America and Gloucestershire, where he lives with his wife and two children.
"They're all sick at the moment so I'm on the road and keeping away from them," he joked.
"It's really hard being away though. I've got a four-year-old and a 10-month-old so it's doubly hard.
"When I'm away I get out of the night shifts but when I'm back at home my wife definitely makes sure I make up for it!
"I don't really get to go home to Fleetwood as much as I would like, given the nature of the job. The last time I went up there was for my son's christening, about seven months ago."
Alfie, who first made his name playing the lead in Baz Luhrmann's production of La Boheme on Broadway, has won numerous Classical Brits awards and last year performed to standing ovations every night playing the lead role of Jean Valjean in the West End production of Les Miserables.
"Being in Les Miserables was a real big deal," he said.
"It was a great honour and I knew when I was offered the role that it would open doors for me where music was concerned.
"My new album is basically songs that I like to sing and that suit my voice, and hopefully everyone will like to listen to them."
Among the first fans in the queue to meet the formally trained Opera star were 28-year-old Rebecca Lee and her mum Sue Owen, aged 51, from Widnes, who are both looking forward to seeing him on tour at Blackpool Opera House next April.
Alfie will also be performing at Manchester Arena on March 23. His album Storyteller is out now.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/5/2013 (1558 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Great Gatsby, the much-buzzed-about Baz Luhrmann adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel, cost a bomb. (The mahogany millwork, the silver tea sets, the shimmery cocktail dresses, the ash-covered computer-generated poverty, the 3D!)
No surprise, then, that some of the financing, as well as offset production costs, came from luxury product placements and brand tie-ins. Prominent Gatsby partners include Tiffany & Co. jewels, Brooks Brothers suits, Prada dresses and Moet & Chandon champagne.
All this gilded glamour raises the question of whether Luhrmann's more-is-more cinematic fantasy has turned Fitzgerald from a moralist into a mere merchandiser. It also makes one wonder if anyone involved in these ritzy movie-merch spinoffs has actually read the book. Even the Coles Notes summary might help, with its firm declaration that Gatsby is about "the decline of the American Dream (and the) misguided belief that money will lead to happiness."
Maybe Donald Trump thinks that's exactly the kind of thing some underpaid pencil-neck who writes Coles Notes would say. At any rate, cautionary tales about the vulgar rich are clearly lost on The Donald, as the Trump Great Gatsby package suggests. For only $14,999, you get a weekend room at the Trump International Hotel and Tower with a view of Central Park, a Bergdorf Goodman shirt and suit for the gentleman, some art deco-style jewelry for the lady, and a magnum of champagne. (Presumably the novel's three violent deaths and irrevocably lost illusions are optional.)
Tiffany & Co.'s Gatsby collection includes a 5.25-carat diamond headpiece selling for $220,000. That's just what you need to emulate Daisy Buchanan, the original tragic party girl, with her careless, callous vivacity and her voice "full of money."
If you're on a tighter budget, you could try a $4,800 pair of green enamel and gold cufflinks with a JG monogram. Because who wouldn't want to be like Jay Gatsby, old sport, even to the extent of wearing his initials instead of one's own? (There's got to be a Gatsby-type lesson about self-invention and status anxiety in there somewhere.)
Along with the official swag, loads of unofficial lifestyle pieces in magazines, newspapers and on websites are telling you how to drink, dress and decorate like Gatsby. Gatsby-themed party plans include hints for Jazz Age cocktails, food and music.
(Of course, if you want to add some authentic party tips right from the book, you should expect your guests to be a "rotten crowd" of scroungers who will despise you even as they guzzle all your booze and crash their roadsters into a ditch near your house.)
A few commentators have defended the film's luxury tie-ins, pointing out that the story is set during an age of excess. But the problem is not so much the characters' wild, heedless overindulgence -- which can be kind of a kick, actually -- but the fact that Luhrmann seems to possess no point of view about that overindulgence.
The novel is conflicted. Fitzgerald's authorial stand-in, Nick Carraway, is a Midwestern boy, after all, and faced with a fast New York set and their insatiable appetite for speed, sex and drink, he can't help feeling both "within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled."
Luhrmann gets the enchantment but has problems with the repulsion. He loves party scenes, and with his hallucinatory 3D and elaborately artificial sets, you'll feel like you're wandering around drunk inside some art deco View-master. But he's not much good with the morning-after moral hangover, or with that stubborn Midwestern belief that actions should have consequences.
Cinema has struggled with Gatsby before. In the 1974 version, a young, golden Robert Redford wore clothes by designer Ralph Lauren, who was still on the cusp of fame. While the film was mostly dismissed as a miscast, misbegotten adaptation, Lauren's stylish vision of an imaginary American aristocracy proved to be enduring. Lauren's Gatsby success contributed to decades of advertising layouts in which patrician polo players and swan-necked girls in white linen dresses walk down long green lawns into an endless summer afternoon.
The troubled ideas of the novel are doomed in the face of Lurhmann and his brand partners, who offer such a compelling visual world of wealth and luxury and ease. There's a key scene in the book when Daisy is gazing at Gatsby and trying hard to access some deeper well of feeling. The best thing she can say is, "You resemble the advertisement of the man."
Yes, sadly, he does.

Small Utility Saw Suitable For Tough Applications
Kalamazoo Machine Tool says its Model H230 Utility Saw is small enough to be economical but heavy enough for light production, toolroom, job shop or maintenance applications. The saw is capable of mitering 45 degrees or less to the left and 60 degrees or less to the right. This is said to permit a wider range of cutting angles without swinging the workpiece out across the work floor.
Available saw configurations include manual and AutoCut with blade speeds of 115 fpm and 230 fpm and AutoCut with infinitely variable blade speeds from 65 to 320 fpm. All models feature a 1-hp TEFC motor, a ¾" × 99" blade with solid carbide blade guides and full guarding, an enclosed transmission, a quick-clamping/quick-adjusting vise and a full re-circulating coolant system. Available options include in feed and out feed conveyors and a mobile attachment designed to allow the machine to be moved quickly and easily.
According to the company, a custom AutoCut operation permits repeatable, accurate cutting with a push of a button. The blade starts at the pre-set rate, coolant comes on and the saw frame comes down at the pre-set selected rate. At the end of the cut, everything shuts off and the operator can raise the saw frame, unclamp the workpiece and clamp the stock for the next cut.

Fifty straight conference victories, and five straight championships, that's the tally for the Elk River-Zimmerman tennis team.
The Elks capped the regular season with a 7-0 win over Andover at home on Thursday, finishing 10-0 in Northwest Suburban Conference matches.
They were 9-0 each of the last four years (Armstrong was added this year) and won their last four matches in 2006, the year Centennial beat them 4-3, their last league loss.
"It feels good," said Elk coach Randy Ronning about yet another unbeaten conference season.
He credited Jimmy Chanthamontry, Tom Ness and Curt Johnson for all the between-seasons work they do with the players.
"Most people picked us to be first or second, and we won it in the offseason," said Ronning.
He added that the players continue to work all season: "We have not had a bad practice all year. They keep working, and get better all the time."
The Elks finished 10-0, Maple Grove 9-1, and Centennial 8-2. They were especially dominant this year, beating Maple Grove and Blaine each 6-1 and all the other teams 7-0.
The Elks, ranked No. 7 in Class AA, will take a 20-2 overall record into Section 8AA starting Monday at St. Cloud Apollo and Sartell. They are likely to be seeded first.
"We have a better than 50-50 chance (to reach state)," said Ronning.
The Elks and St. Cloud Tech, which has lost only to Edina, are the top two teams, and both have most of the lineup back from last year when the Elks beat the Tigers 7-0 in the finals.
The 2011 title was achieved with just one senior, Zak Steichen, who teamed with Mitchel Brandell to win a close two-setter at No. 1 doubles against Andover.
This year's squad has some excellent veterans — Josh and Sam Gearou, Ryan Ness, Brandell, Steichen — while also getting some pleasant surprises, said Ronning.
He especially cited Jesse Bragg, a junior who moved from North Carolina last June, made the starting lineup and lost just once all year; freshman Logann Bruns, who worked hard enough to rise from No. 21 to No. 10 on the Elks' charts; and freshman Nathan Chanthamontry, who sharpened his serve and overhead to lift his game considerably.
Elk River -Zimmerman 7, Andover 0
(1) Sam Gearou, ERZ, def Bobby Munoz 6-1, 6-3
(2) Josh Gearou, ERZ, def Dillon Danforth 6-0, 6-0

World Dairy Expo opens Tuesday morning to a record-breaking year.
"We're very confident cattle numbers entered into the show this year will exceed previous years," says Laura Herschleb, dairy cattle show manager with World Dairy Expo. Previous year's cattle numbers have hit 2,500 head and the numbers are expected to surpass it. Show entries are up across all breeds, "but there is definitely an uptick in Guernsey entries," notes Herschleb.
An additional 40 foot by 80 foot tent had to be constructed at the last minute to house cattle. "We're excited to host more dairy exhibitors and their cattle this year," says Herschleb. "We also appreciate exhibitors' patience and working with us as we constructed the new cattle housing on the fly."
This is just one of the many records that World Dairy Expo hopes to break this year. More than 800 companies are exhibiting their products this week; including 130 brand new companies and companies from 28 different countries. "It's wonderful to see the increased interest in exhibiting," says Janet Keller, communications and public relations manager with World Dairy Expo.
Keller says an expansion of the outdoor exhibit space this year gives the show the ability to house fairly large equipment. "We made cranes available for the first time for companies to unload equipment," she says.
As the show grows and becomes more international in scope, World Dairy Expo expects to see an increase in foreign companies exhibiting. This year marks the first time a Russian company will be exhibiting at the show; GERA Limited will feature a ultra-violet milk filter to help dairy farmers improve milk quality.
When asked what dairy producers can expect to see at this year's World Dairy Expo, Keller points to high-end technology. "Technology has really started to hit the dairy industry," she explains. "From cow management tools, heat detection transponders to robotic milking systems you can find it all." The cool part she says is that a lot of the technology is designed for herds of all sizes, not just large herds. A large number of new products and services are expected to be unveiled at the show this week.
A boost of warm weather in Madison, Wis., should help the show hit record level attendance numbers. Typically, the show will see more than 65,000 attendees, including 2,500 international visitors. "Based on the number of phone calls we've received leading up to the show, we should expect to see an increase in international attendees this year," notes Keller.
Both Keller and Herschleb credit higher milk prices and a positive outlook for the dairy industry's future for the success of this year's show.
World Dairy Expo has become the place to be no matter if you're a dairy farmer, educator, student, university professional or sell a product or service. "It is the networking event of the year," says Keller.

|Brief Summary
|Ovarian cancer, especially epithelial ovarian carcinoma, has the highest mortality rate among the gynecologic malignancies. The majority of patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma are diagnosed at advanced stage which has the overall survival rates of only 19-30%. As the advance in the managements which prolonged the overall survival, metastatic lesion in rare location such as brain was noted in few patients of ovarian cancer in recent years. In the retrospective study, the investigators will review the medical records of the ovarian cancer patients with brain metastasis in the investigators hospital to investigate the incidence, clinical courses, optimal managements and possible prognostic factors in the rare condition.
|Detailed Description
|The ovarian cancer patient treated at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the National Taiwan University Hospital were retrospectively collected. The cancer registration database was searched for the patients with ovarian carcinoma who brain metastases were also diagnosed. The medical records of these patients were reviewed with particular attention to the results of histo-pathological and radiologic reports. Patients with other synchronous primary brain tumor were excluded. The initial management of primary tumor, including the surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, and the clinical courses and disease status, such as remission, recurrence and progression, were all carefully reviewed. The intra-cranial lesions were all diagnosed by imaging studies, including brain computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Therapeutic strategies for the metastatic lesions in the brain were also reviewed. All statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 13.0 statistical software for Windows. P<0.05 was defined as statistical significance. Survival was measured from the time of initial diagnosis of brain metastasis until the date of death or last contact, and was presented by Kaplan-Meier curves.
