What you get with a subscription to Radical Technology Profits
Fifty years ago, our smart phones and laptops were the stuff of sci-fi. Now these things are real.
What's more, the inventions we'll take for granted tomorrow are hitting the market today. Things like printed living organs… a universal vaccine that treats a hundred different viruses… memory cubes that let us connect 100 billion devices across the globe… "living" metals that cure cancer, Alzheimer's and addictions.
For the investor with vision who gets in early, such radical technologies can form the bedrock of million-dollar portfolios. In fact, according to Forbes, "An astounding 25% of the Forbes 400 made their billions in technology."
And that's barely a taste of what's about to come.
Naturally, such a fast-moving market filled with so many new-to-the-scene innovations can seem confusing, even to smart and savvy investors.
That's why Michael Robinson created Radical Technology Profits to bring these billion-dollar opportunities to folks who see the vision but aren't sure how to start cashing in on it.
In a Trade Alert celebrating Radical Technology Profits' astounding 94.7% win rate, Michael himself summed up what's at stake…
"Right now we are witnessing something truly groundbreaking. I'm talking about the way so many huge tech trends – like the Mobile Wave, Cloud Computing, Big Data and, of course, Sensors and the Internet of Everything – are coming together all at once, creating some of the biggest profit opportunities I've ever seen."
Each month in Radical Technology Profits, Michael Robinson brings you small- to mid-sized companies that push the boundaries of biotechnology, nanotechnology, advanced computing and storage, "miracle" materials, robotics, aeronautics, and beyond.
These companies are perfect for bringing you short-term gains in anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
The service came to life on May 17, 2012, when Michael sent out two bold 3D Printing recommendations. Twenty-five days later one of those picks – Organovo Holdings – had soared 91%. But what's truly amazing is what happened next…
Because of the novel way Michael told his readers to play Organovo, not only did they see a 91% gain, but just 21 days later they saw a second 35% profit kicker.
Michael's other inaugural recommendation, 3D Systems, climbed 30% in just four months. Michael (and his readers!) have never looked back.
"Had you bought all five stocks I told you about at that time, you would have made an annualized profit ratio of a stunning 663%." – Radical Tech Alert #175
Not long after Michael scored big with his 3D printing picks, he told his readers to get in on Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Inc.
The San Diego-based Kratos is a small-cap leader involved in complex gear for satellite communications, drones, electronic warfare, surveillance systems, radar jammers, and ballistic-missile defense.
At the time of that recommendation, everyone was running from companies like Kratos, because of deep cuts in the defense budget.
But Michael had been holding private meetings with CEO Eric DeMarco, so he knew something most investors didn't. He knew that the Pentagon would never cancel its contracts with Kratos. This was because, thanks to fees written into those contracts, cancellation would actually cost the government more than fulfillment.
But what really convinced Michael to pull the trigger on Kratos was a series of high-level meetings he held with Major General Michael Mazzucchi.
It was during these sensitive closed-door briefings that Michael discovered that the military was already allocating a large piece of their $528 billion budget to update its capabilities using technology that Kratos excelled in.
For instance, he learned that the Air Force is using this technology for what the Department of Defense calls, "5th generation fighter sensors." Another program, called the MQ-9/Block 5 Aircraft Program, was using the technology to transfer and encrypt classified intelligence.
These programs involved guaranteed contracts from the Army, Air Force, Navy, NASA, the Defense Logistics Agency, and the Department of Homeland Security, just to name a few.
Less than a year after Michael recommended Kratos, the stock was up 106%.
"As of last Friday we were up right at 70%. Not bad for holding a stock for less than three months." – Radical Tech Alert #61
For readers of Radical Technology Profits, stories like these are par for the course.
Like the time he told his readers to get in on LIN TV, a full-fledged media company that built its business on local TV. You see, because Michael worked in newsrooms for more than 20 years, he could see that LIN TV was masterfully combining its local TV's sales edge with the boom in new-media technology.
Three months to the day after Michael made his recommendation, LIN TV was up 76%. Even better, six weeks later his readers got the chance to grab a second payday, this time for 102%.
"The market's volatility is now working in our favor. Today we'll be taking gains of roughly 175%… and 124%." – Radical Tech Alert #223
How is Michael able to pick so many winners so easily?
For one, as a veteran reporter, he has a Pulitzer-quality nose for spotting a breaking technology story. And of course there's that million-dollar Rolodex. While other analysts are glued to their screens, hoping to spot a trend, Michael might be out sailing with Reed Tausig, CEO of a promising software startup… or dining with Dr. Joseph Kim, CEO of a biopharmaceutical firm that's leading the drive into synthetic DNA vaccines.
But at the end of the day, the real secret to all of Michael's double- and triple-baggers is something he calls his Real Demand Tracking System.
Decades in the making, this proprietary system lets Michael filter out the "wannabe" stocks to find the true growth machines: Small-cap companies that possess "must-have" technology, strategic barriers to entry, first-class management, great cash flow, fat profits and, if possible, a hefty dividend.
Radical Technology Profits helps everyday investors get in on the ground floor of explosive opportunities in biotech, military defense, supercomputing, 3D printing, and every other cutting-edge breakthrough.
On average, you'll receive four new investment briefings every month through Radical Technology Profits.
And Michael is there with you every step of the way to help you manage these plays. Rest assured, if Michael sees something important happen at the opening bell, he'll send you an alert about it before the closing bell.
Now along with the four monthly investment research briefings, you'll also receive instant sell alerts.
"The market's volatility is now working in our favor. Today we'll be taking gains of roughly 175%… and 124%." – Radical Tech Alert #223
So when it's time to exit any opportunity and collect maximum profits, he'll send you an additional alert via email.
You can also have these sent to your cell phone via text message, so you can ensure you receive these instructions as fast as possible.
You'll also get weekly briefings that explore the economy, the markets, the groundbreaking technologies that are being developed, and, of course, all current investment opportunities.
In addition, Michael records audio and video reports of his meetings with the CEOs and innovators at the companies he's targeting.
Plus, you'll have 24/7 access to the Radical Technology Profits website where every communication is archived, and you can constantly monitor a real-time review of all of our open positions.
Because Radical Technology stocks operate in volatile corners of the market (that's why they can shoot up so quickly), Michael protects you against losses and market mood swings by employing trailing stops, usually 20-25%.
To make sure you never overpay for a stock, he'll also give the highest price you should pay to get into a position.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT women's fencing team emerged with a 4-1 ledger in the MIT-Brandeis Invitational on Sunday. The Engineers (14-5) opened the day with a 24-3 loss to Pennsylvania State University. They went on to defeat Tufts University (14-13), Sacred Heart University (22-5), Haverford College (17-10), and New York University (15-12).
The epee squad posted the best record of the day with a total of 28-17 as all four members finished with winning records. In addition, a 9-0 showing against Tufts helped give Tech its one-point victory. Mika Tomczak paced the team with a 10-5 total while Lele Yu and Joanna Tong finished at 9-6 and 8-6, respectively. Zhenya Gu won the only bout she competed in, which resulted in a sweep for the team against Sacred Heart.
The foil team also picked up a sweep against Sacred Heart en route to a 23-22 ledger. Gemma Mendel posted a mark of 9-6 while Nancy Hua finished at 7-7.
The lone win of the day for the sabre squad was a 7-2 total against NYU. The margin proved to be pivotal as it amounted to a three-point advantage for the Engineers. Lynn Wang and Shauna Jin each tallied marks of 7-8, resulting in a team record of 20-25.

As Tiffany Hartley, surrounded by Texas game wardens, laid a wreath of yellow roses on the surface of Falcon Lake near where she says her husband, David, was shot by Mexican pirates, questions were swirling about the truth of her tale.
In part fueled by the improbability of the phrase "Mexican pirates" and given past crimes where innocent-seeming spouses eventually faced murder charges, doubts about Ms. Hartley's story have bubbled up on cable TV shows, Twitter, and even along the 60-mile-long border lake where the shooting allegedly happened.
"There are a whole lot of doubts. Very few believe it. [The story] is just too wild with too many loopholes," says John Williams, a resident of Zapata, Texas, and a fishing guide on Falcon Lake since 1964, in a phone interview. "I don't know what happened. They could have taken him off into desert, and he'll never be seen again, but I don't think anybody will ever know unless they come up and tell you."
The lake, long known as a crossing point for illicit cross-border activity, has lately become a hideout for cartels fleeing a Mexican government crackdown. The Gulf Coast Cartel and its former enforcers, the Zetas, are fighting for control of the lake. This year, cartel-linked pirates have reportedly robbed or attempted to rob US bass fishermen on five different occasions, though Mr. Hartley is the first reported death.
Ms. Hartley has said her husband was shot by men in a boat after she and her husband drove their jet skis to the Mexican side of the lake. The men in the boat then chased her back to the US side, she said.
Texas state legislator Aaron Pena, who accompanied Ms. Hartley to the rose-laying ceremony on the lake Wednesday, believes the pirates were likely junior cartel members looking to steal the couple's jet skis, and they carried off the watercraft and Mr. Hartley's body after the shooting.
But that scenario seems too convenient for some commentators.
"It certainly feels better to imagine that a young good-looking married couple was blissfully in love, and that they were simply having fun in the sun when dark forces struck," writes law professor Wendy Murphy, author of "And Justice for Some," in a Fox News commentary. "But let's remember the Scott Peterson and Charles Stuart cases. Two men seemingly head over heels in love with their beautiful pregnant wives when they claimed an unknown killer ruined their picture-perfect lives."
In Zapata, some locals pointed out that jet skiers are unusual on a lake frequented mostly by fishermen, and that it's very rare to see jet skiers cross onto the Mexican side of the lake, which is marked by concrete posts. The Hartleys have lived in Mexico and had few reservations about crossing into Mexico to visit at a half-submerged church near Old Guerrero, despite warnings about pirates, Ms. Hartley has explained
Earlier this week, however, the district attorney of bordering Tamaulipas State, Marco Antonio Guerrero Carrixales, told the McAllen Monitor that he's not "certain that the incident happened the way they are telling us."
Mexican officials say no one on their side reported hearing the sound of gun shots or even a jet ski on the lake. Nevertheless, Mexican authorities stepped up the search for Hartley on the Mexican side of the lake on Wednesday.
For their part, US authorities have come strongly to Ms. Hartley's defense. At least one eyewitness saw Ms. Hartley fleeing back into US waters pursued by an Argos-style boat that the local cartels are known to possess, authorities said.
Texas state lawmaker Mr. Pena said the conspiracy theories only play into the Mexican state authorities' inability to find Mr. Hartley's body – or identify the possible cartel members who carried out the shooting.
Blaming Ms. Hartley "is a convenient excuse for the sorry response [by Mexico]," says Pena. "Everything tells me that she's being truthful. There was a witness, its fits with other criminal activity seen in the area, and how do you make assumptions without having evidence, and the only evidence is what she's saying."
In a TV interview on Wednesday, Ms. Hartley, who has appealed to President Obama to help her find her husband's body, acknowledged the questions around what happened last Thursday afternoon on the deceptively placid border lake.
"It's just hard to hear" the conspiracy theories, she said. "But I can see it from their point of view. I can understand why they might think that, but it's not true. I would never even think of hurting my husband. I loved him."

BOULDER — First-year Colorado Jon Embree is keeping his word in reestablishing connections with Buffaloes past. He has invited Bill McCartney, the school's all-time winningest coach, and Gary Barnett to coach Saturday's alumni flag football game before the spring gtame starts at 6 p.m.
"Gary's an integral part of this program," Embree said. "He always has been. I remember meeting him in '84 as an assistant coach and just seeing his fire and intensity and coming back when Rick (Neuheisel) left and getting a Big 12 championship. Gary's a Buff. That's why I wanted him back. I know people have opinions about him. People have opinions about me, too. We're a family. He's a big part of that family. I think he needs to be here."

First and fourth ingredients are named meat products
Insufficient meat content, controversial filler
The first ingredient is a named meat product, in meal form. The fourth ingredient is also a named meat product. This is not a meal ingredient, but is inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. Ingredients are listed in order of weight, and the dehydrated ingredient would probably be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list. It is unlikely that this ingredient makes a great contribution to the overall meat content of the food.
The grains in the food, rye, barley and oats are all good quality grains, although combined are likely to outweigh the meat content by some margin. Beet pulp is controversial filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. We appreciate the range of probiotics. We note the use of synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality products.
Overall, this product appears to be primarily good quality. It suffers through limited meat content and the inclusion of some low quality filler.

I've had calibrations done on numerous displays in the past, but Jeff's work is singular - Peter C. IMAX Cinematographer
...a lot of people just use Audyssey to do a room EQ and assume that they have arrived at the best audio calibration for their room. Jeff can improve upon that by a mile... -Cal68 AVS Forum
I would recommend Jeff to anyone who wants to get the most out of their system. He is a true audio/videophile - Henry B., NY
What I thought was a decent sounding system using the Yamaha YPAO is now outstanding. I couldn't believe the difference. - bluevelvet86 - AVS Forum
As nice as I thought the D-Nice reference settings made my plasma look, Jeff took that to a whole new level. - Scott Shearer
I ran (and re-ran and re-ran) the Pioneer MCACC auto ... I thought .. it was time to upgrade. WOW, was I wrong! Jeff turned my Audio system, into the system that I always wanted. - BuddTX AVS Forum
My Anthem system is complex...Even with these limitations, what Jeff was able to achieve with my audio is nothing less than stunning. - venpra - AVS Forum
Jeff Meier has calibrated 2 of my systems (both video and audio). The results in both systems exceeded my expectations! He also helped me select the right audio gear for my basement system. - Don, IL
Jeff also did some audio tweaking with the Classe SSP-800 ... With the EQ and adjusting the subs output, he was able to get the room sounding terrific. - Brain Sturgeon (blu-ray.com moderator)
I have seen ISF calibrations done ..., Jeff is much more thorough than I have ever seen in the past...the job he did on the audio system was also amazing. - Scott Shearer
I have been getting my displays ISF calibrated ... used 3 or 4 techs...taken the ISF training...Jeff is far and away the best. brt3 - AVS Forum
I used TrueRTA and REW ...Easily spent over 100 hours on this...had Jeff Meier...come to my home. ... The difference was staggering - Brucemck2 AVS Forum

The Customer Number is a 10-digit numeric identifier that is assigned to each customer contact for the purpose of technical support. You will use the Customer Number to access your account information as well as the VMware technical support telephone system. Customer Numbers are unique for each customer contact and should not be shared with others.
The updated system is designed to significantly reduce the time needed to process telephone technical support requests by automating manual procedures. The system will achieve this through the use of numeric customer identification and the latest enterprise technologies such as Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and Computer Telephony Integration (CTI).
You should experience reduced wait times while Customer Service Representatives process your information, and you should get routed to a Technical Support Engineer faster. This means you'll have to wait less time for an engineer to begin resolving your support issues.
When you call the VMware technical support line, please have your Customer Number ready. The Interactive Voice Response system will prompt you to enter your Customer Number or other identifying information, select the appropriate product under contract, and select an action (create a Support Request (SR), follow up on an existing SR, or close an SR). Once these steps are completed, the system will route you to the appropriate VMware contact – a Customer Service Representative or Technical Support Engineer. The IVR has speech recognition capability, allowing you to speak your responses to IVR prompts.
VMware will provide you with your Customer Number when you log into your account online, and this information will also be provided in various status and confirmation e-mails that VMware sends. You can find your Customer Number online under your account profile any time after your first login. Additionally, Customer Service Representatives can provide you with this information when you call the technical support hotline.
Can I bypass a Customer Service Representative and get routed directly to a Technical Support Engineer?
Customers with Business Critical Support (BCS) and Production Support entitlements needing to open a new technical Support Request can now, in most cases, bypass a Customer Service Representative and get routed directly to a Technical Support Engineer by using their unique Customer Numbers and responding to the IVR prompts. This will expedite the call and reduce the overall time needed to create the request.
Yes! The web is still the primary method to file and track Support Requests. Visit My VMware to submit a Support Request. This is the most efficient method for logging a Support Request. However, when you do choose to contact VMware Technical Support via phone, you should experience a streamlined process with shorter wait times and increased efficiency.

My Thoughts, Exactly

I recently encountered this article, which is great because it expresses some of the same feelings and opinions that I have, but in a more eloquent manner. Just thought I'd share.
A Gay Agenda for Everyone
By DAN SAVAGE
Published: January 22, 2011 in the New York Times
I'm not an idiot: Now that the Republicans hold the House, only wishful thinkers and the deeply delusional expect to see any movement on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender legislative agenda this year or next. Nevertheless, President Obama should address gay rights in his State of the Union speech this week, and he should tackle the biggest, most meaningful right of them all: the right to marry.
When he was a candidate for the Illinois State Senate in 1996, Mr. Obama told a gay publication that he supported "legalizing same-sex marriages." Twelve years later, right about the time he decided to run for president, he came out against marriage equality. But, as the president likes to say, "The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice." Where a Gallup poll in 1996 found that just 27 percent of the nation supported equal marriage rights for same-sex couples, a CNN poll last summer found that a majority now supports marriage equality.
The president — perhaps after introducing Daniel Hernandez Jr., the openly gay intern credited with saving Representative Gabrielle Giffords's life — should declare that the trend is clear: this country increasingly believes that Mr. Hernandez and other lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans should have all the same rights and responsibilities as other citizens.
Gay Americans are eventually going to win on marriage just like we won on military service, the president should tell Congress, so why not save everyone on both sides of the debate a lot of time, trouble and money by approving the entire gay rights agenda? Send the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, the Student Non-Discrimination Act, the Uniting American Families Act and the repeal of the odious Defense of Marriage Act to his desk for his signature.
He can assure the lawmakers that, yes, there's something in it for Americans who disapprove of homosexuality too.
Social conservatives long to raise their children in a country where they don't have to hear about homosexuality every time they turn on the news. I'd like raise my son in a country like that too. And guess what? In countries like Canada — where the fight over gay rights is essentially over, where there is gay marriage, open military service and employment protections — homosexuality hardly ever makes the front pages of newspapers. There's nothing much to report.
Conservatives can't get rid of us, but they can hear less from and about us. They just have to bend toward justice.
Dan Savage is the editorial director of The Stranger, a Seattle weekly.

Hyperthermia : Nursing Care Plan - Nursing Diagnosis and Nursing Interventions
Hyperthermia is an elevated body temperature due to failed thermoregulation. Hyperthermia occurs when the body produces or absorbs more heat than it can dissipate. When the elevated body temperatures are sufficiently high, hyperthermia is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment to prevent disability or death.
The most common causes are heat stroke and adverse reactions to drugs. Heat stroke is an acute condition of hyperthermia that is caused by prolonged exposure to excessive heat or heat and humidity. The heat-regulating mechanisms of the body eventually become overwhelmed and unable to effectively deal with the heat, causing the body temperature to climb uncontrollably. Hyperthermia is a relatively rare side effect of many drugs, particularly those that affect the central nervous system. Malignant hyperthermia is a rare complication of some types of general anesthesia.
Hyperthermia can be created artificially by drugs or medical devices. Hyperthermia therapy may be used to treat some kinds of cancer and other conditions, most commonly in conjunction with radiotherapy.
Hyperthermia differs from fever in the mechanism that causes the elevated body temperatures: a fever is caused by a change in the body's temperature set-point.
The opposite of hyperthermia is hypothermia, which occurs when an organism's temperature drops below that required for normal metabolism. Hypothermia is caused by prolonged exposure to low temperatures and is also a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment.
Signs and symptoms
Hot, dry skin is a typical sign of hyperthermia. The skin may become red and hot as blood vessels dilate in an attempt to increase heat dissipation, sometimes leading to swollen lips. An inability to cool the body through perspiration causes the skin to feel dry.
Other signs and symptoms vary depending on the cause. The dehydration associated with heat stroke can produce nausea, vomiting, headaches, and low blood pressure. This can lead to fainting or dizziness, especially if the person stands suddenly.
In the case of severe heat stroke, the person may become confused or hostile, and may seem intoxicated. Heart rate and respiration rate will increase (tachycardia and tachypnea) as blood pressure drops and the heart attempts to supply enough oxygen to the body. The decrease in blood pressure can then cause blood vessels to contract, resulting in a pale or bluish skin color in advanced cases of heat stroke. Some victims, especially young children, may have seizures. Eventually, as body organs begin to fail, unconsciousness and coma will result.

In Edgar Allan Poe's story Bon-Bon (http://www.eapoe.org/works/tales/bonbonf.htm), the narrator says,
The starred note is θζενες, and it is Poe's.The Greeks at all events were right, he thought, who employed the same words for the mind and the diaphragm.*
I looked it up is several Greek dictionaries, both classical and modern, and couldn't find this word. Is anyone familiar with that word and can provide a translation? Something tells me that Poe's translation is either inaccurate or spoofed. Poe loved word play, so if there's some joke there that I missed, please let me know.
Thank you,

Odds, Ends, and Thoughts
–How badly did the Sixers regret trading KK? I ask because they have just traded to get him back in the slightly more expensive form of Jason Kapono. The Sixers gave up Reggie Evans (he of got-a-technical-for-slapping-KK's-butt-last-season fame) for Kapono.
–Will the Jazz keep Fess around? We haven't gotten much of a chance to really see him play or see if/how he has developed, and I have to say that I lean towards giving him more time simply because I thirst for a real big man in the middle (how long has it been since we've had a 7-footer in there?) Then again, there's no point in keeping him around just for one game a year against Yao Ming. I do think he could be a serviceable center, but how much time do you give him before you cut the cord?
–I really don't understand the mentality of those people that talk about how you can't replace 20 & 10. Boozer is an incredibly talented offensive player (and yes, offense is what NBA players get paid for), but find me a fan that would take 20 & 10 for 50 games per season (and I'm being kind there with the "50") over 16 & 8 for 80 games per season.
More thoughts on Boozer vs. Sap:
**Jerry's system plays up Boozer's strengths and makes him look better than he would elsewhere. On the other hand, Sap would create a niche for himself anywhere due to his innate hustle and nose for the ball. How many times have you watched Sap on the court and thought to yourself, "How in the world did he frickin' get that board?" Yes, Boozer gets a lot of boards, but a lot of them are uncontested, i.e. his teammates defer to him to pick up the ball when 8 guys are already halfway down the floor. The fact of the matter is, Boozer doesn't fight for boards the way Sap does.
**Sap has a high ceiling for improvement in different areas, and I do think that he will work to maximize his skillset. Can the same be said for Boozer? He doesn't seem to think that his game has any deficiencies. Listen to him talk for longer than a minute, and you'll hear him pronounce himself "a great player" and then elaborate on how great he is.
**The Pistons apparently prefer Sap over Boozer. No surprise there. We never have to question Sap's effort, if he's dogging it, if he's giving it his all. Or worry about Sap sticking his foot in his mouth and creating unnecessary drama in the locker room. Not to mention "snake" is not the most common word/phrase used to describe him.
**Devin Harris wants Boozer bad based on "kind of" playing against him "a couple of times" during the summer and thinks that Carlos would complement their rookie. It's unfortunate that Devin wields no check-signing powers.
[One astute SLAM commenter pointed out that "in this case 'screwing Utah' would be NOT opting out." Ha.]
My first thought was that Harris and Carlos share an agent, which turns out not to be true. While
researching googling to find that out, I came across Boozer's agent's website:
Ironic how 13 of the 14 players have "full-length" body portraits, while Boozer is missing legs (knees, hamstrings) and one foot. I'm just sayin'.
**I'm not saying that Sap can replace Boozer's offensive production, or that I think Sap is a better player. All I'm saying is that 1) Sap and a combination of other players under contract (AK, Memo if KK2 plays some minutes at the 5) could make up for Boozer's production; 2) We have to account for the possibility that Boozer's presence on the team is detrimental to team chemistry.
**That said, if there is a bidding war for Sap, I don't think the Jazz should overpay for him. Yes, they need to keep him to stay competitive next season, but a repeat of the CJ situation would not exactly be ideal.
**In conclusion: if I had to pick only one of Boozer, Sap, and Memo to keep, I'd keep Memo in a heartbeat.
–Random picture of the day–Memo with Tarkan (from memo13.com):
Has it really been ten years since "Simarik" came out?
–Random thought of the day: It's completely ridiculous that Game 3 starts at 9 p.m. Eastern time when the game is in ORLANDO.
The countdown continues. Carlos, only 20 days left for you to opt out.*
*I guess I couldn't get through this post without mentioning the latest Boozer interview.
As expected, Boozer has gone back on his "I'm opting out. No matter what, I'm going to get a raise regardless. I am going to opt out, I don't see why I wouldn't" statement and is now saying, "on June 30th I'll decide either to opt in or opt out."
During the interview with Jim Rome, he also talked about:
**his need for being wooed as the clear-cut top free agency prize of 2009: "…obviously, I put the ball in [the Jazz's] court. You know, I told them I wanted to be there–and we'll see how they respond, and how they approach me";
**how out of touch he is with current economic conditions and his need for financial security despite making $12.7 million per year: "And this is a good opportunity, in such an insecure economy, to secure myself financially doing something I love to do. I'm very appreciate of that, and to have a chance to do it is very advantageous (for) me";
**how awesome he is: "I think we have a chance to [win a championship]…I think I'm a huge piece of that puzzle."
For more on the subject, go here.
Nick permalinkJune 13, 2009 5:58 am
Nice quote from Boozer about securing himself financially despite making $12.7M.
Reminds me of another winner in Latrell Spreewell in 2004 while making $14.6M he said "Why would I want to help them win a title? They're not doing anything for me. I'm at risk. I have a lot of risk here. I got my family to feed."
Do they really expect anyone to believe they're hurting for cash? I mean really. =P What he feeding his family anyways…diamonds?

Warning: The back half of this paragraph may creep you out a little bit. The brown tree snake has a bad reputation, and it's really earned one. As one of nature's most storied invaders -- they've had two books published on them in recent years (here and here), and I'd say they're about due for a major motion picture. Brown tree snakes are nocturnal, fairly aggressive, mildly venomous, and semi-aquatic. And according to their growing folklore on the island of Guam, they've been known to curl up in the toilet (picture here) and nip at peoples' rear ends at a particularly vulnerable moment.
The brown tree snakes have completely taken over on Guam. Believed to have arrived from the Admiralty Islands, New Guinea, or Australia in the holds of post-World War II cargo ships, the snakes conquered an ecosystem where there were no natural enemies. They ate every bird egg available; now Guam is a tropical paradise with almost no tropical birds. The snakes have also devoured native geckos, lizards, and other reptiles. There are an estimated two million brown tree snakes living on Guam's 136,000 acres. They outnumber people by about twelve to one. About twenty years ago, they started causing regular power outages by shorting themselves out on the island's antiquated electrical grid.
Thanks to the snake, Guam's ecosystem is largely a write-off. But this nuisance species has also made sea or air travel a nuisance: Every cargo container, every airplane wheel well, and every corner of every ship or aircraft leaving Guam has to be scoured for stowaway snakes trying to leave Guam the same way they arrived. Personnel from the U.S. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) patrol docks and runways, deploy search dogs, and otherwise stay vigilant (on our dime) to make sure that Guam's tragedy isn't repeated elsewhere in the Pacific. In 2004, Hawaii Congressman Ed Case said that APHIS stops between 6,000 and 7,000 stowaway reptiles a year.
Like Guam, Hawaii has no natural predators for the snakes, and would be particularly vulnerable to a snake-based ecological disaster. Guam-to-Hawaii flights have reported several snakes-on-a-plane in recent years, but it's believed Hawaii remains un-colonized.
The saga of the brown tree snake is an almost inevitable result of global commerce. Asian Longhorn Beetles are native to China, and since the late 1990s they've hitchhiked on cargo ships to infest trees in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The beetles bore holes and lay eggs in hardwood trees -- mostly poplars, maples, willows, and elms. Once infestations are discovered, the trees have to be taken down. First spotted in Brooklyn in 1996, the beetles soon showed up on Long Island, in New York's Central Park, New Jersey, New England, Chicago, and Toronto. Infestations were also reported in the UK, Austria, and Germany. APHIS has experimented with insecticides and fungi to try and kill the beetles off, but one of the most effective tools has been tree-listeners. Yes, people who listen to trees. Hearing the telltale buzzing from a tree is the only sure way for early detection of a beetle-infested tree.
There's a waterborne invader that's not only an ecological threat, but it's downright bizarre. The Asian Carp has colonized the Illinois River. Asian carp are big fish -- twelve pounds or more, with a record size of about 60 pounds. They've literally eaten the other fish's lunch in the Illinois River, and they've done the same thing in the Mississippi system, having likely gotten their start on catfish farms, where they were imported to eat algae. Here's the bizarre part: Asian carp go nuts when they sense the noise and vibrations of boat engines, and can propel themselves ten feet or more out of the water. Take a boat on the Illinois River, particularly in the spring, and there's a good chance you'll be hit upside the head by an airborne 12-pound fish. CBC reporter Mark Stevenson tried this a few years ago.
Should the carp jump their way into the Great Lakes via the Chicago River, they'll likely share the water with another invader. Zebra Mussels are native to the Caspian Sea, and arrived in the ballast water of ships. The first North American colonies were found near Detroit in 1988. Zebra mussels have pretty shells, and are about the size of a fingernail. They love fast-moving water, and gravitate toward intake pipes for factories and power plants. By the early 1990s, they were causing small-scale industrial disasters throughout the Great Lakes. This map traces the zebra mussel sightings from the Lakes to the Hudson River, down the Mississippi to New Orleans, and up the Tennessee and Arkansas Rivers as well. While there's little good to be said about the first three invaders here, zebra mussels have a beneficial side: They're voracious filter feeders, and have actually helped clean the water in infested areas. Great Lakes fish like yellow perch and the smallmouth bass may actually benefit from sharing the Lakes with these invaders.
None of these stories are new, but after many years, they're still developing. But they're all cautionary tales for how easy it is for global commerce and transport to blow some pretty big holes in the web of life.

Natural, green, sustainable . . . they've become familiar buzzwords over the past decade as Canadians grow ever more conscious of the use of pesticides and hormones in our food and in what we put on our skin.
Recently, a Canadian environmental action group called Environment Defence released study findings that showed dozens of favoured cosmetic brands (such as makeup, shampoo and soap) are contaminated with harmful heavy metals -- think arsenic, cadmium and nickel.
One of the nation's most vocal advocates for going green, The David Suzuki Foundation, has also added its weight to the issue in the past, with a list of 12 commonly used cosmetic ingredients (the dirty dozen) they believe consumers should avoid.
Consumers looking for local and natural options are in luck, however. Rocky Mountain Soap Company is perhaps the best known example (rockymountainsoap.com), but we've found two others that you might not know about: Pure Creations and KlaraCoco, two Calgary-based makers of natural bath and beauty items.
We sat down with them to find out where their concoctions come from, and why they're passionate about keeping the beauty industry as chemical-free as possible.
Who: Sylvia Fonalka creates her KlaraCoco line at her home studio in Calgary.
What: Naturally based creams, bath oils and other body-products for women, men, babies and children.
Why: KlaraCoco is named after Fonalka's two daughters (Klara and Coco). Fonalka says she became concerned about the soaps and lotions after she had children.
"I went out one day and bought my new baby some very nice, very expensive creams. I was excited to use them, but when I got them home I began to read the labels more carefully," she says.
"I'm not a chemist, but I was concerned about some of the potentially cancer-causing petroleum products and other chemicals I saw on the list."
It was after this incident that she decided to begin making her own natural soaps for her family. Eventually, friends started asking her to make items for them and encouraged her to start her own brand.
Fonalka says KlaraCoco is free of parabens, artificial colourants, petroleum-based ingredients, synthetic fragrance, sodium lauryl/ laureth sulfates (SLS) and propylene glycol. Instead, she uses natural preservatives, such as grapefruit seed extract and rosemary extract (to prevent bacteria growth), as well as whole food-derived ingredients such as oils, butters and waxes.
Each product comes in beautifully designed packaging, perfect for gifting to a loved one or for treating yourself to something special. KlaraCoco products range in price from $6.99 to about $25 per item. Available online at klaracoco.com.
Pure Creations
Who: Pure Creations was founded by Maria Cheta (an esthetician) and her husband Llie Cheta (a chemist).
What: Previously known as Mona Lisa, Pure Creations has been around since 1998. The husband and wife team own and operate the Pure Creations Spa (544 4th St. N.W.), where they provide products and services such as skin assessments and facials, as well as pedicures and manicures.
The Chetas develop and make their products in their spa lab -- everything from lotions and sera to cleansers and toners.
"I have women that have been coming to me for ages for help with their skin. Now, they're bringing their daughters," Maria says.
Why: The Chetas believe natural ingredients are healthier and more beneficial to the skin.
"The main motivation of the creams has always been to use natural ingredients. Natural has become more popular with people. It's not just a farmers' market, hippy-dippy idea anymore. It's become mainstream," says Maria. Pure Creations follows guidelines set out by CERTECH, a privately owned Canadian organization that offers organic certification services Maria says all of her products are made of 95 per cent natural ingredients, with at least 50 per cent certified organics.
Prices range from $17.99 to $51. For more information, visit purecreations.ca.
The Dirty Dozen
The David Suzuki Foundation lists these 12 ingredients, often found in mainstream cosmetics (from shampoos and soaps to toothpaste and makeup), as worthy of avoiding. They're variously targeted as being linked to cancer, interfering with hormone function or causing other health problems. For more information, visit davidsuzuki.org.
1) BHA and BHT
2) Coal tar dyes
3) Cyclomethicone and siloxanes
4) DEA, MEA and TEA
5) Dibutyl Phthalate
6) Formaldehydereleasing preservatives such as DMDM Hydantoin, Diazolidinyl Urea
7) Parabens
8) Parfum
10) Petrolatum
11) Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
12) Triclosan

text: I spoke to Professor Jim Whitehead of UC Santa Cruz yesterday, and at the end of our conversation he brought up the 2009 Foundations of Digital Games conference. FDG will run from 26 - 30 April, 2009, and takes place on a cruise ship. In addition to the typical call for papers (due 19 December), the organizing committee is offering between 10 and 15 scholarships for undergraduates (due 20 December), and five spots for doctoral students. The whole thing sounds like such a ridiculous combination that I can't imagine it won't be a good time, so if you're an interested party and have research that may fit the goals, check out the application. The FAQ for the undergraduate scholarship offering is below, and more information can be found at the FDG 2009 website. I don't have any appropriate research for this year's conference, but I'm certainly planning on attending. Q: Is the program available to students from all countries? A: Yes, students from all countries are welcome to apply, though applications must be in English. The language of the conference is English. Q: Are there restrictions on the kind of degree program? A: Yes, undergraduate students must be enrolled in a 4-year degree program (or equivalent, or better, such as a 5 year dual degree or 5 year BS/MS). If you have questions about whether your degree program is acceptable, please contact the Student Scholarships Chair. Q: Do I have to be a current student? A: Yes, you must currently be enrolled as a student to apply. Q: When will you contact the faculty member reference? A: We plan on only contacting faculty references for those students who are in our semi-finalist pool. Once contacted, we will only ask for a few paragraphs of information. For the faculty member, the entire process should take less than 20 minutes. Q: Who should I choose as a faculty member reference? A: Ideally a faculty member who can discuss your game project in detail, and who understands your overall academic progress. Q: Should applicants have a valid passport? A: Yes, applicants should already have a valid passport, as there may not be time to get one between announcement of winners and the cruise. Applicants should be aware that, should they win, they will need to be able to travel to the United States and to the Bahamas. Q: How many students will be selected? A: We anticipate 10-15 students will participate in this program. Q: If I am selected, what will it cost to attend the conference? A: Students selected for scholarships will have reasonable airfare (coach on lowest cost airline), hotel the night before (and after, if necessary), and reasonable incidental travel costs (airport shuttle or parking, dinner the night before the conference, etc. The conference reserves the right to not reimburse expenses that are viewed as excessive.

PANAMA CITY BEACH - The owners of Miracle Strip at Pier Park are about to take a huge leap forward.
Friday they broke ground on their new location, right across the street from Pier Park.
The original Miracle Strip Amusement Park is truly a treasured piece of Bay County's history.
For 40 years the attraction entertained, thrilled and even scared hundreds of thousands of visitors.
However, that all came to an end in 2004, when the Lark family sold the property to a condo developer.
The individual rides went to other amusement parks across the country and a local couple ended up with some of the rides.
They've been operating at Pier Park for the last 5 years now.
They plan to bring back the original Miracle Strip's featured attraction, the Starliner roller coaster, the oldest wooden roller coaster in Florida.
Local disc jockey, Jim King rode the Starliner to set the world record back in 1978 and 1980.
After Miracle Strip closed, Cypress Gardens in central Florida bought it.
Then Legoland bought Cypress Gardens and decided to sell the Starliner.
That's when the Meeks bought it.
Since there's not enough space at Pier Park for all of the rides, the Meeks had to relocate.
Hudson Meeks is the Miracle Strip Park's General Manager said, "We looked right across the street and found a 10 acre plot of land that we could lease and then have opportunity to buy in the future. It was a no brainer."
Beach officials broke ground on the new park Friday morning.
The new Miracle Strip should be open by next April.
No doubt it will be popular with the young and old alike.
"We want to bring back some of that nostalgia that used to be had by the older generations of Panama City Beach. We want to pass that on to the younger generations," Meek said.
The Meeks say it will cost $3 million to refurbish and assemble the Starliner roller coast.
It might take a few years to get it up and running.

Voter turnout for Tuesday's presidential primary in Maryland was expected to be the lowest in at least 30 years, state election officials said.
In 1996, when President Bill Clinton faced little competition while running for re-election, only 25 percent of voters turned out for the primary in heavily Democratic Maryland. Tuesday's turnout could be "a little lower than that," said Donna Duncan, election management director for the Maryland State Board of Elections.
"Hopefully, with all of the absentee and provisional votes, we'll reach that level," Duncan said. "It's comparable to other elections when there's an incumbent president."
Ross Goldstein, deputy administrator for the election board, said turnout Tuesday appeared to be consistent with elections in the Free State that don't have a competitive Democratic race. In contrast, turnout reached 42.8 percent for the 2008 primary when now-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was battling then-Sen. Barack Obama for the nomination.
Poll workers described similar scenes at precincts across Maryland on Tuesday: no lines and light turnout.
As Larry Kamner walked across the empty basketball court at the Gen. Harry C. Ruhl Armory in Towson, he said voting was among the slowest he'd seen in 50 years of working at Baltimore area precincts. By 9:30 a.m., a mere 59 people — of the precinct's 2,135 voters — had turned out.
Fewer than 50 voters had shown up by 8:30 a.m. at the polling place at Towson Presbyterian Church on West Chesapeake Avenue. Ann Shepter, the chief GOP judge, said it was one of the lightest turnouts she's witnessed. The precinct's total number of voters is 2,715.
For Democrats Mary Jo Putney, a 65-year-old novelist, and her partner of 33 years, John Rekus, a 60-year-old engineer, the trip to Ridge Ruxton School on North Charles Street was to support incumbent Democrats — U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin and 3rd District Rep. John Sarbanes.
Putney said she likes Cardin's stance on health issues and has found Sarbanes very responsive and good at communicating his efforts in Washington to his constituents.
"They are generally in line with what I believe," Putney said.
The two were among about 85 who had voted by 10:45 a.m. in the Republican-leaning precinct, John O'Hara, the chief GOP judge, said. He described the morning as "sluggish."
As the day went on, precincts across Maryland continued to report low turnout. At Brooklyn Park Middle School, 180 voters had turned out by 4 p.m.
Tonya Blue, a 20-year-old student studying education at Coppin State University, said that as a black woman, she felt it was her duty to vote Tuesday. Blue said she is just becoming involved in the political process and voted for Obama, though he faced no real opposition in the primary.
"My ancestors did a lot for us to get this far," she said. "I wanted to do it on their behalf and toward my future."
Many Republican voters said they came to cast a ballot in the presidential race, and that the congressional races were of less importance to them. Lauren Calloway, a 23-year-old part-time event planner, spent the day at a booth she created outside the school to support Texas Rep. Ron Paul's campaign. She said she wasn't sure if she changed any minds, but she hopes she gave voters something to think about. "I believe he's the right man. He's the most logical," she said.
The No. 1 issue for operating room assistant Karen Baker, 53, is abortion. She said she voted for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney because she sees him as aligned with her anti-abortion beliefs. Baker said Romney stands a good chance of beating Obama in November, "but I think it will be close."
Newt Gingrich has the debate skills to take on Obama, said Keith Wagner, a 36-year-old tax accountant from Brooklyn Park. The former House speaker's stage presence would be enough to sway undecided voters in November, he said. Still, he said he is not optimistic that the GOP candidate — whomever it may be — will be able to unseat the president.
As a Republican in Maryland, Wagner said he'd like to see the state become more relevant in GOP politics.
"If everybody stays home because it doesn't matter, then it's never going to matter."
Voter turnout for Tuesday's presidential primary in Maryland was expected to be the lowest in at least 30 years, state election officials said.
