Packaging revenue outgrows package unit growth
Growth in smartphones and tablets and resurgent automotive demand are increasing IC demand. In turn, increased demand for product functionality is driving up IC packaging revenue faster ??? a 9.8% CAGR ??? than IC unit growth ??? 7.3% CAGR 2010-2016, says New Venture Research (NVR).
Handheld electronics will boost the growth of special purpose logic (SPL) communications chips by 16.7% CAGR revenue through 2016, versus 3.5% CAGR in units. Packages for mobile components are dominated by FPGA and QFN designs, which are at opposite ends of the pricing structure. The third most popular packaging type, QFP, is decreasing in usage over time.

Wireless infrastructure products are also in high demand, which is helping boost consumption for standard cell and programmable logic device (PLD) chips. These devices will grow at a CAGR of 16.1% in terms of revenue through 2016, while the device units are projected at 15%. High-I/O BGAs are the package of choice over the forecast period ??? package revenue growth is projected to be slightly higher, at 16.3% CAGR through 2016.
Logic chips are in demand for a host of products, pushing 32-bit MCUs to an 11.1% CAGR unit demand, although only 4.7% device revenue CAGR, through 2016. QFPs and BGAs are the highest-demand package designs, although the QFP is waning. Thus, the package revenue is growing at a CAGR of 12.8% through 2016 for 32-bit MCUs.
This information is included in the newly released report "The Worldwide IC Packaging Market, 2012 Edition", from New Venture Research (NVR), a technology market research firm.???M.C

Fiftieth session Item 70 of the preliminary list* GENERAL AND COMPLETE DISARMAMENT Report of the Secretary-General Addendum CONTENTS Page II. REPLIES RECEIVED FROM GOVERNMENTS Libyan Arab Jamahiriya ............................................2 ________________________ * A/50/50. 95-12769 (E) 010595 010595 /... *9512769* LIBYAN ARAB JAMAHIRIYA [Original: Arabic] [13 April 1995] Interpretation by the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya of Article X, paragraph 2, of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons submitted in conformity with paragraph 2 of General Assembly resolution 49/75 F The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya supports the working paper submitted by the Group of Non-Aligned and Other States entitled "Extension of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons: Options and Action Available" contained in document NPT/CONF.1995/PC.IV/4. The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya would like to make it clear that its legal interpretation of article X, paragraph 2, of that Treaty is that the Conference of the Parties to the Treaty, to be held in New York from 17 April to 12 May 1995 in order to decide upon the extension of the Treaty, has the following three options: (a) Indefinite extension; (b) Extension for an additional fixed period; (c) Extension for additional fixed periods. It has been determined that the eventual decision of the Conference shall be taken by a majority of the Parties to the Treaty, since it will otherwise conflict with article X, paragraph 2, of the Treaty, which is unambiguous. We have no need to resort to interpretations which conflict with the text, but should deal with the matter in the framework of respect for the wishes of the parties to the Treaty and concern for their interests, in order to ensure the fulfilment of the purposes set out in the preamble and implement the provisions of article VI of the Treaty. During their forthcoming Conference, the States parties to the Treaty must negotiate in good faith and make every possible effort to achieve the aims of the Treaty, while respecting the national security interests of each party. Should it appear to them, as is in fact very likely, that an indefinite extension of the Treaty is not possible at the present time, since the purposes paving the way to such an extension have not been achieved, the Conference may take the measures at its disposal to arrange a temporary extension, leaving the door open for an indefinite extension once the necessary preparations have been made. -----

Scott Brown Floats Potential 2016 Bid
(WASHINGTON) -- While in Iowa over the weekend, former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown floated the idea of a presidential bid in 2016, even stopping at the Iowa State Fair, a rite of passage for any presidential contender.
At the Iowa State Fair Sunday, Brown told supporters he was "exploring a possible run" and indicated to reporters that he's interested in seeing how voters in Iowa feel about him.
"I'm going to be coming out more often to try to determine whether there's an interest in my brand of leadership and Republicanism," Brown told the Des Moines Register on Saturday.
"I want to get an indication of whether there's even an interest, in Massachusetts and throughout the country, if there's room for a bi-partisan problem solver," Brown told the Boston Herald. "It's 2013, I think it's premature, but I'm curious. There's a lot of good name recognition in the Dakotas and here – that's pretty good."
Brown has toyed around with pursuing political office again after losing his senate seat to Elizabeth Warren in November. Brown has expressed interest in running for governor and a Senate seat in Massachusetts, and he's also considering a run for Senate in New Hampshire where he owns a vacation home but is not currently a resident.
Brown has cast a wide net to keep his name in the political spotlight, but what remains unclear is how serious he is about seeking office again. Brown will decide whether he'll run for governor in Massachusetts "in a week to 10 days."

It's official: Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley are separating.
After Us Weekly first reported that the couple had split after three years of marriage, Lavigne, 25, took to her blog to share the news.
"Deryck and I have been together for six and a half years," she wrote. "We have been friends since I was 17, started dating when I was 19, and married when I was 21. I am grateful for our time together, and I am grateful and blessed for our remaining friendship. I admire Deryck and have a great amount of respect for him. He is the most amazing person I know, and I love him with all my heart. Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note."
She concluded, "Thank you to all my family, friends and fans for all your support."
According to an Us insider, Whibley, 29, "is crushed" by her decision.
"She dumped him and told him she was leaving him. She wants to move on," another source told the new Us Weekly, adding that Lavigne forced him out of their $9.5 million, 12,000-square-foot estate in L.A.'s Bel Air. "Divorce papers will be filed any day now."

Google Waving
December 4, 2009
I just got google wave a couple of weeks ago. I am not too impressed yet, but maybe I just don't get it. I wish there was a better way to search for people. From what I can tell, the only way to find people is if you already know their google wave account name. And it has to be EXACTLY correct. And even then I'm not sure if it works. It took me several tries to find my friend whos first and last names contain a total of 10 letters. Maybe I'm just a terrible speller.
I guess the point of this post is that I might be able to figure out Google Wave faster if I knew more people that used it. Or if I had a PhD in rocket science. Definitely one of those two things.
I've got 5 more invites – who wants 'em?

Montgomery celebrates Irish family
At its 11th annual St. Patrick's Day Breakfast, the Arts and Heritage Center celebrated The Russell Clan of Montgomery. Honorees included (front, from left) Kathy Russell, Mary Pat Russell (in spirit through a cardboard cutout) Arenas Jane Russell Holzhauer, (back) Pete Holzhauer, Wanda Gunderson, Gregg Gunderson, Maureen Gunderson, Pat Keefer Russell, and Dennis Russell. At a small program, Arts and Heritage member Kathy Peterson introduced the Russell Clan and pointed out that Maureen has been involved in the Arts and Heritage Center "forever", and that she probably needs to "sit on her hands to keep them from working at the breakfast". In recognition of being this year's honorees, the Clan received a small gift. (Wade Young Photo)

Guest post by Andy Hobsbawm
Soon we won't need to hunt anxiously for our missing shoes in the morning, we'll Google them. So said tech visionary Bruce Sterling seven years ago, but if you look around your room right now and count the number of Internet-connected objects, you won't find much beyond consumer electronics devices like laptops, phones and possibly your TV.
The pace of digital innovation is astonishing. It's impossible to imagine life without the web, smartphones, social networks. And yet the consumer products and everyday objects all around us are still essentially dumb. Unconnected. Consumers are ready for a new age of smart products to close this gap between the physical and digital worlds.
It's time for products to catch up and get online so we can access the kind of real-time, social web experiences we've come to expect in our daily lives. For our physical products to be as clever as Google, as immediate as Twitter, as informative as Wikipedia, as social as Facebook, as personal as Amazon and as entertaining as YouTube.
The good news is this is already starting to happen. For instance, Nike+ now has five million users connecting their trainers to the Web to compare running performances. And "Toyota Friend" which launched last year, is a plug-in hybrid car that emails or texts its owner when the engine needs to be re-charged or the tires changed (alerts that can be set to automatically update the owner's social networks).
The principle that products are inherently more useful and desirable when they come super-charged with dynamic digital services will soon be applied across all categories.
This is partly because the technological building blocks required to deliver these kind of dynamic consumer services at scale -- WiFi and 3G broadband for instance, cloud infrastructure like Amazon Web Services, or connectivity technology like NFC chips, RFID and WiFi tags -- have now passed the tipping points in terms of cost. And new innovations such as printed circuit technology and the white space radio spectrum (transmitting data over unused TV channel airwaves as we switch from analogue to digital TV) are all helping to create a world where everything can talk to everything else, and everything to us.
But the real game-changer today is smartphones and the way they have transformed consumer interaction. Among many other things, a smartphone functions as a handheld digital sensor for the physical world. In other words, we don't necessarily need our real world things to be directly connected, when the Web interface in our mobile devices provides the network access and intelligence. Smartphones can act as a hub, or microcosm of the web itself.
Increasingly, products will ship with ultra low-cost "smart tags" like NFC tags or even 2D barcodes, easily readable by smartphones. Some 5.3 million product barcode scans in June 2012 was the highest ever in a month – 120 such scans by consumers now happen every minute, a five-fold jump from last year. And 60% of phones in North America and Europe are expected to be NFC-compatible by 2016.
When you buy products like these, your first action will be to "check in" to it with your smartphone, identifying yourself using social APIs like Facebook, and thereby taking digital possession as well as physical ownership of the object. This activates a unique, addressable presence on the Web for that individual instance of that specific product, forever linked to its owner: it becomes "your" Nikon D90, instead of just "a" Nikon D90. This enables manufacturers and retailers to trigger a new digital world of personalized content, services, and apps, to let you interact with your physical product and get more out of using it.

Do you know your foodservice occasions? Through the Consumer Planning Program (CPP), IFMA and Datassential have defined the 28 occasions that motivate consumer choice away-from-home; these occasions are the "why" behind the "what".
Occasions impact both where people choose to eat and what they order - and offer superior granularity to demography and traditional consumer metrics. Use these occasions to develop targeted strategies and in your collaborations with key operator customers.
Occasion Snapshot of the Week:
Social Gathering
For this occasion, consumers are particularly likely to seek out signature dishes. Social Gatherings accounting for $22 billion in annual consumer foodservice spending, representing nearly 4% of industry revenues.

Those thousands will include seven Alaskans who dusted off memories recalling their personal opportunity in government service to witness and participant in public policy decisions by their boss at the time: the chief executive officer and governor of Alaska.
Each of the seven served as the primary press secretary or communications director for Governors William A. Egan, Walter J. Hickel, Jay Hammond, Bill Sheffield, Steve Cowper, Tony Knowles and Frank H. Murkowski. (Efforts were unsuccessful to locate press staff for the half-term administration (1969-'70) of Gov. Keith Miller. Miller had been elected lieutenant governor and moved up when Hickel was named secretary of the Interior in the Nixon administration.)
None of the former press secretaries still work in the Office of the Governor. All say they were surprised and proud to be considered and appointed as the governor's news media contact.
The seven are not alone. Since statehood, at least 20 men and women have served as the chief or deputy press secretary, communications director or press staff assisting with "outreach," phone calls, newsletters and emails to keep constituents in touch with the administration.
Some communications staffers remained through one or two administrations. Others lasted a few days or weeks. Some were surprised to learn that those in charge already had firm ideas about press management. Others probably left the "Third Floor," the governor's office complex in the Capitol, humming the civil rights watchword, "Free, free at last."
John Greely was a freelance journalist in Juneau in 1982 when Bill Sheffield faced and defeated Tom Fink in the contest for governor, and later faced impeachment during his term.
Greely was the key press aide during the efforts to impeach Sheffield. Today he dryly describes that experience as "One of many adventures we had, yes."

Race Report by Nick Patricio, member of The Path Bike Shop Race Team. Photos: PB Creative Photography
This weekend at the 2015 KMC Winter Series #4 Super D Race in Fontana, we were fortunate to have perfect racing weather. Throughout the weekend The Path Bike Shop Race Team could be spotted from afar due to our new race gear for both XC and Enduro. The new threads provided the team with the confidence and comraderie needed to have a fun and successful weekend. Compliments were given all weekend while our sponsors were represented proudly. Kenda Tires provided the team with new tires to keep us rubber side down. This week I ran 27.5x2.4" Honey Badger DH Pro tire up front and a 27.5x2.35" Nevegal X Pro tirein the rear, giving me the assurance to go fast.

I have been riding for 7 years or so and have raced here and there, but this is the first year I wanted to make a concerted effort to really put my all into racing. The Path Bike Shop and Lou (our race team manager) have given me a chance to represent them along with a fantastic team or racers this year.
I jumped into the season starting with the 2015 KMC Winter Super D Race Series to get my racing going. I signed up for Sport Men 35+, and I have met some steep competition.
This last weekend was Round 3 in Fontana, CA and a course I'd never ridden before. I arrived just in time to register and head up the hill for practice. I got a couple of runs on the lower rock garden then made my way up to the upper section, which was entirely new to me. On the way up the course seemed deceptively easy with a few fun sections that I was looking forward to. This illusion was soon removed as I headed down and found washed out corners, rock ups precariously placed after short flats or uphill requiring some creative pedaling, and a blown out right hander with sneaky hidden rocks just waiting for my front tire to come say hi.

Early last week I decided I wanted to try racing Super D with the vast majority of The Path Race Team at the 2015 KMC Winter Series Round 3. I only have my Kona Taro hardtail 29er for a trail bike at the moment and wanted to give it a go; I've been riding my Taro all over in the last 6 months, and I feel very confident on all sorts of trail terrain with it.

The 2015 KMC Winter Series XC Race 3 in Fontana, CA was a great day on the bike.
The wind that had plagued round two was non-existent and temperatures were a nice spring warm. Fifteen seconds before the start of the race I realized I still had my knee warmers on, and temperatures were far too high to desire extra warmth. With no time to spare, I decided I would have to race with toasty warm knees.
At the start of the race two riders from the same team took control of the pace. By the end of the first lap myself and one other rider had established a commanding lead. Having recently put a dropper seat post back on my Kona King Kahuna hardtail, I knew if I could get in front of the other rider before the long descent I could put a gap between us. My plan worked, and by the middle of the second lap the other rider was a safe distance behind.

This weekend's SoCal Enduro Series Race #1 at Vail Lake was a blast and I'm super stoked on how I did. As the first Enduro race of 2015 in Jr. Expert category, I was pumped but I went into it knowing I'd have some tight competition. And I definitely did.
At the top of Stage 1, I was just telling myself to just keep it clean and smooth as this stage was the most downhill-oriented and technical. I ended up pinning all my lines the way I wanted, and having a clean run put me into 1st place by 4 seconds.
Stage 2 was the most brutal stage of all. It was a 1.9 mile stage that had a few little climbs but a lot of full-gas pedaling. Towards the top, I just couldn't get my flow down in some sections and that really messed me up. After Stage 2, my placement dropped from 1st down to 4th with 14 seconds behind 1st place.
Race #4 at Casper's Wilderness Park was held on October 18th. It was a perfect day of racing to end a fantastic race series.
Here's a recap by Luke Wronski, Kona Grassroots rider and employee of The Path Bike Shop:
"The final Non-Dot series race at Casper's Wilderness Park could not have gone better. I was feeling great on the King Kahuna. I went out strong and managed to maintain my pace for the duration of the race. I finished 1st in Expert Men class with 2nd place 11 seconds back. The win at Casper's was also enough to clinch the win for the series overall. This race reaffirmed my decision to focus a bit more on XC for the 2015 season, and be more selective with the Enduro races I choose to participate in."

Race #2, the Whiting Ranch Time Trial was a painful event. The course was a 20-minute race up a climb they call "Dreaded Hill" down a flowy singletrack, and out to the finish line. I decided to race the brutal mostly climbing time trial on the Kona Process 153. I wanted to see how good I could do against a field of 20-lb hardtails. Despite the extra weight, I still managed to finish 5th!
Race Report by Luke Wronski, Kona Grassroots rider and employee of The Path Bike Shop
This weekend's OC Classic Race #1 at Aliso Woods with Non Dot Adventures was awesome! After a week of being sick I was skeptical of how well I was going to do. In addition, this was my first XC race of the year, so I had no gauge on where my fitness was at.
At the start of the race I made it my goal to stay with my Path Bike Shop teammate Josh who's been really strong all year. We broke away at the first climb up Meadows, which is a brutally steep climb. Our plan was to establish a big gap early on in the climbs and descents, in order to not get caught in a power battle in the flats. We maintained our lead for the three laps of the race. After completing our final descent down Rock-it we had a two mile false-flat to the finish line. At this point I decided to go for it for fear that if I waited we would be battling with guys who are fare more adept on the flats than Josh or I. I led the race for 3/4's of the final two miles, but along the way another rider had managed to bridge the gap and was now siting on my wheel. He managed to out-power me at the line for the win.
All in all it was a fantastic day of racing. I couldn't be happier with my 2nd place finish out of 18. My time would have been good enough for 3rd in pro. I was also stoked to see such a good turnout for the event (180 total riders)!
The Shop's Kona Hei-Hei 29er was the perfect bike for this technically challenging XC course.
The Path Bike Shop Team junior racers were making huge waves last Saturday April 27, 2014. Major kudos to these very talented young racers!
Andrew Vollmer (Cat 2 - 14 & under) placed 2nd in XC at the Kenda Cup Series Race #5 at Bonelli Park. Here is Andrew's race report:
"For Kenda Cup #5 at Bonelli Park, it was my second XC race of the weekend. I came back from a little race in Los Olivos as a warm-up for Kenda Cup. The entire time I was at Bonelli I couldn't wait for the race to start because my legs felt so good. After the long wait I was on the starting line and anxious to race. Finally, we were off and a lead group of a 17-18 year old racer and the leader of my group quickly formed. Knowing it would take a little bit of luck to beat the leader of my race, I was happy sitting in the chase group of me and two others. Once we hit the climbs I made sure I was leading the group because I wanted to drop the kids behind me. I managed to drop one but the other one wouldn't budge! So, I asked if he could pull, but he didn't want to work so I just pushed it on the second lap and dropped him on one of the first climbs! Now I was just had to keep him away. I was solo for the rest of the lap and was happy with the result of finishing second out of six for Cat 2 14 & under. I also made a 3-4 minute gap on third place!"
Our young DH ripper Ryan McGarrity (Beg Men 10-11) placed 1st in DH at the California Golden State Series in Fontana.
Our junior racers are ripping out at Fontana in the 2014 Southridge Winter Race Series! Race #2 in the series was last weekend, January 25-26. Whether it's downhill or cross country racing, they're out there getting the job done. We're proud to have these two talented racers out there representing The Path Bike Shop. Great job guys!
Jarod Hanson Jr, DH racer for The Path and Kona Bikes, has placed 3rd back to back for the last 2 downhill races in the Expert 18 & Under race category.
"I had a blast this past weekend at Fontana for the Winter Series Race #2! There was a technical/expert split up on the top half and then the rest was a lot of sandy berms and flat turns. Before my run I was watching the pros go down the tech section. They were trying to go too fast and they kept crashing. So at that point I realized for my run I had to slow it down so I could keep it rubber down. My run was great I felt really smooth! I had a small bobble in one of the sand berms but that was it. I couldn't be happier! The new kona supreme operator felt so good! It's super smooth and stable through the rocks! It also corners like no other. I can just pop in and out of all the turns, it felt really good! I want to say thanks to The Path Bike Shop and Kona Bikes for setting me up on the new bike I feel that we are going to have a solid season and more to come!"
Andrew Vollmer, XC racer, is on a roll in the series as well; he placed 6th at Race 2 in the Sport Men 18 & Under category.
"Southridge Race #2 was super fun and I was stoked with my race times. There were about three times as many people racing today in Sport Men 18 & Under than the first Southridge race, however I increased my time by two minutes and got 6th out of 21. My chain unfortunately fell off at a crucial point before the finish, losing my spot in 5th place. But the competition was fierce and I was happy to place up there."
Andrew keeps doing us proud in this 2014 race season. He placed 3rd in the Sport Men 18 & under class at the Southridge Winter Series XC MTB race on January 11, 2014. We're looking forward to seeing Andrew at Race 2 in the series, which is coming up this weekend.
Here is Andrew's race report:
"Today I raced the first XC race of the Winter Series for Southridge USA in Fontana. I competed in the Sport Men age 18 & under category and had a great time. At the beginning of the race my legs were not warmed up, but I caught up to the two leading riders on an uphill. On the first downhill of the race I unfortunately had a little spill on a sandy corner losing the 2nd place rider's wheel. On my second lap I could see 2nd place in my sights but followed a racer from a different category off the track. By then 2nd place was far away and I settled with a 3rd place out of 8, but two of my good friends took 1st and 2nd and I was the youngest in the category, so it was all good!"
Race report by David Hardwick, member of The Path Bike Shop race team.
With the opening of Snow Summit Bike Park and my first trip to Whistler Bike Park I was able to ride more downhill then the previous two years combined. I have found my love for downhill again and am really excited to race with The Path Bike Shop for 2014. After a few different injuries and three years away from the local race scene I plan on stepping back into it full strength and getting on that top step.
I raced Sport last weekend at the 2014 Southridge Winter Series Downhill Race 1 to see where I lined up with the rest of the group since I've been away from downhill racing for three years. I placed second, and only out of first by three tenths of a second.
Two summers ago I changed bikes from my 2008 Kona Stinky to a 2011 Kona Operator and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a new Kona Park Operator frame soon. Lastly thanks to my lovely wife Tashina for always supporting this crazy mountain bike obsession.

One of our newest sponsored racers, Andrew Vollmer, did us proud yesterday. He took part in the first race of the new SoCalCross Fever Cyclocross Race Series on Saturday December 28, 2014. Andrew placed 2nd in the Junior Boys 10-14 race class. Keep it up Andrew, great job! We're stoked that you're out there representing The Path Bike Shop.
Here is Andrew's race report:
"Today in cyclocross it was a crazy race. The location was Irvine Lake and I pre-rode the course three times trying to figure out which bike to use, the cross bike, or the mountain bike. I eventually figured out the mountain bike would be the best choice for the course due to all the hills and sand.
While I was resting in the truck waiting for the race to start I noticed my bike had a flat, fifteen minutes before the race was to start! We quickly fixed the flat and I got to the race line just in time for the start. After four laps of the sandy and rough course I finished in 2nd place, losing to the national track champion by mere seconds.
This was a fun race and I am ready for tomorrow's cyclocross race and will be wearing my The Path Bike Shop kit once again...after my Mom washes it."
The 22nd Annual Southridge Challenge was held on November 23, 2013 in Fontana, CA. Our longtime staff member Luke Wronski was out representing The Path Bike Shop at the Super D race in the expert category. Way to go, Luke!
"Fontana went well today. Super-D course was fun and had a good turnout. My race run was clean, no major mistakes. I ended up 3rd out of 16 in expert. Felt good to get up on the podium. My 2014 Kona Process 153 felt perfect and I had a bunch of people asking me about it!"
Race report by Matthew Palmer, member of The Path Bike Shop race team
"This was one of those epic once in a lifetime races. Not because I won a race on my home trails, but because of how the ride was shaped between myself and a rider I hope I can be like in 20 years"
We started fast, up and down Puma ridge, then we took turns pulling one another through the flats of Willow/Egret to the dam, trying to put a gap between us and rest of the field. I pulled away from Gerrit (my friend and riding buddy) a bit when we got to the first climb, then even further as we moved up Coachwhip (1-mile climb). Knowing that Gerrit was much faster than me on the technical descents, I tried to move quickly down Chutes and maintain my gap, but he eventually caught me in the middle of the Roadrunner single-track and we were once again right alongside one another.

My 2013 race season so far has been consistently inconsistent. Thank goodness my bikes have shown me the support a true stable of loyal steeds can show. I figured the race season started back in March with the Keyesville Classic. But it was just a tease. Plagued with sickness and injury and one family event/issue/crisis/etc/etc after the other, I would not be able to develop any kind of exercise/run/ride/etc routine (and you can forget about Mr. Circadian too!). As always, racing was and is just for fun and even though there wasn't time to train, there was always time to race! It's just the pain you put your body through that takes a bit of will power (that we all have) to get over it and keep the passion of pedaling ever so prevalent.
From Catalina to Big Bear, I participated in rides and races, content on being a weekend warrior until all the "more important" details of life would cooperate with my life. And what do you know, I'm back! I've been messing around with a dangling carrot in front of my face for 8 months (and Mr. Tani...I'm sure you know what I'm talking about) and I think I might be able to find my pedal stroke again. I got a bit of a reality check at the Over The Hump MTB race on June 18th. I know where I need to be...ON MY BIKE.

"Ecclesia" means a called out assembly or congregation; political (Acts 19:39); Christian (Ephesians 1:22,23); or national (Acts 7:38).
God calls the saved out of the world to congregate in worship. This is the church in the world – in it but not of it. Jesus' church is not synonymous with Christendom (Christians as a whole).

Worry and stress. Aren't we all acquainted with those emotions? That is the bad news, but the good news is that we can handle them.
It may surprise you to know that the Bible, which is filled with the creation of the universe, Heaven and Hell, the death and resurrection of Jesus, also speaks of a human emotion - worry.
Jesus said in Matthew 6:31, "Do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'"

Could Howdy Doody Save Detroit?
On June 18, Detroit, which has been wallowing in something like $18 billion of debt, became the largest city in U.S. history to seek bankruptcy protection. Detroit's creditors have already vowed to go to war over a proposal by the city's emergency financial manager to settle with them for just pennies on the dollar. Now they're floating the nuclear option: forcing a sell-off of the holdings of the museum of the Detroit Institute of Arts, which is home to 60,000 …

There are also major changes that will be implemented in our undergraduate, MBA and Doctor of Business Administration programs next year. The start of four separate advisory boards this year points to our new commitment to reach out to stakeholders and to become more involved with our alumni, friends and the business community.
Newberg, Ore. (Vocus) October 1, 2009
George Fox University's School of Management has a new name: School of Business.
The name change was made to recognize a number of changes in business education at the university, according to Ken Armstrong, dean of the George Fox School of Business.
"The move from a School of Management to a School of Business has both real and symbolic significance for George Fox," he said. "It is symbolic because it comes at a time when the university is making a new, sustained commitment to build a premier School of Business based on a Christian worldview. We are excited at this commitment and challenge, and are fully committed to becoming more of a presence in the greater Portland and Boise business communities."
George Fox's School of Business offers a Part-Time MBA program at its Portland Center near Tigard and at the university's Boise Center. Also offered is a Full-Time MBA program at its residential campus in Newberg, Ore.
In addition, the School of Business offers a 56-credit-hour Doctor of Business Administration program that prepares Christian business educators to teach effectively in the college or university classroom. The three-year course features online classes, web-enhanced hybrid courses, and three residency visits to its Newberg, Ore., campus.
"We are excited at the challenge of becoming a leader in the Christian business education community nationwide as well as globally," Armstrong said. "We have a great faculty in place to take on these challenges, and will look to add individuals who will share our vision and work with us to make it a reality."
In addition to its MBA and Doctor of Business Administration programs, the school is engaged in expanding its influence globally. With the assistance of Thomas Peng, director of the university's China and East Asia Studies programs, the School of Business is designing programming in order to work with students and institutions in China.
In addition to a full-time MBA program that will enroll several Chinese students, plans are in place to begin a 2+2 program between George Fox and China's Guangdong University next fall. These students will complete the first two years of their undergraduate studies at Guangdong and then come to George Fox to complete the last two years of their business studies.
"Hopefully this will lead to programs that will reach out to other areas of the world," Armstrong said. "There are also major changes that will be implemented in our undergraduate, MBA and Doctor of Business Administration programs next year. The start of four separate advisory boards this year points to our new commitment to reach out to stakeholders and to become more involved with our alumni, friends and the business community."
More information on the George Fox University School of Business is available online.
George Fox University is ranked by Forbes as one of the top 100 colleges in the country and highest among Christian colleges. George Fox is the only Christian university in the Pacific Northwest classified by U.S. News & World Report as a national university. More than 3,300 students attend classes on the university's campus in Newberg, Ore., and at teaching centers in Portland, Salem, and Redmond, Ore., and Boise, Idaho. George Fox offers bachelor's degrees in more than 40 majors, degree-completion programs for working adults, five seminary degrees, and 12 master's and doctoral degrees.

Eddie Chikamhi Sports Reporter
EQUATORIAL Guinea striker Tony Fugo will not take part in CAPS United's pre-season tour of Mozambique after injury ruled him out of the Green Machine preparations for the 2016 term.
Makepekepe are set to leave for the neighbouring country today with a squad of 26 players.
The Green Machine are expected to feature in a four-team tournament this weekend in Beira before heading to Chimoio for a training camp during their 10-day outing.
Team manager Shakespeare Chinogwenya said they are looking to carry the bulk of their players for the training camp but Fugo will be a missing link because of a knee injury.
"All the players are in good condition and they are ready for the tour. Unfortunately, Fugo is injured and cannot make it.
"He returned home from Equatorial Guinea with an injury and we decided to leave him so that he can receive treatment on his knee.
"Simba Nhivi also had a minor cut on the head but we are going with him. He should be fine.
"Otherwise, we are looking forward to a good outing. This tour will surely help us in terms of bonding because if you look at our squad we have a number of new players coming in to join us this year.
"By staying together and playing together in a different environment, I am sure it will help improve relations and the understanding amongst us," said Chinogwenya.
CAPS United will battle against Ferroviaro Beira, Textafrica and league champions Ferroviaro Maputo in the four-team tournament that begins tomorrow in Beira.
Makepekepe want to challenge for the league championship this year.
They have signed some experienced players who include Abbas Amidu, Tafadzwa Rusike, Allen Gahadzikwa, Archford Gutu, Dennis Dauda, Devon Chafa, Ronald Pfumbidzai, Edmore Sibanda and Cabby Kamhapa.
Makepekepe have also lined up a trip to South Africa but it is still to be confirmed.
Meanwhile, CAPS United's bitter city rivals Dynamos yesterday indicated they have stepped up their preparations for the new season and have now finalised the itinerary for their upcoming tour of Malawi and Tanzania.
Secretary-general Webster Chikengezha said the Glamour Boys will leave for Malawi on March 4 and then play two games against Big Bullets and Mighty Wanderers the next two days.
They will then leave for Tanzania where they have a practice match against Young Africans and probably Simba Sports Club and return on March 14, three weeks before the start of the season.
Chikengezha yesterday said they are stepping up their pre-season preparations and have lined up a double header of practice matches against former Premiership sides ZRP Football Club and Whawha at Rufaro this weekend.
"We are taking our preparations a gear up and this weekend we are looking to have two teams on show because we want, at least, everyone to get a chance to play.
"It's understandable the coaches want to see all their players in game situation and we believe on Sunday they will have the luxury to play all players who are fit.
"We are also expecting our two foreign players on Saturday and if they are not tired they might be given a run on Sunday, just to give them the feel of the game," said Chikengezha.
The Dynamos secretary-general said supporters will pay $1 for the rest of the ground while the Upper Grand Stand and VIP tickets will cost $3 and $5. DeMbare are keen to bolster their attack which has Richard Kawondera, Kenneth Bulaji, Farai Mupasiri, Rodreck Mutuma and Chinyama.

No, but It just looks like I'll be hit by the very edge of the storm. Just expect lots of rain and thunder storms for a few days.
I don't really understand you Americans. You live in a zone prone for hurricanes and earthquakes and you still make your houses out of dried saliva and toothpicks... Here in Portugal we never have any significant storms and all our houses are either made of cement/steel, bricks or granite. Our power lines are also underground for the most part so storms don't really damage them and in the worst case scenario in a thunderstorm the lights go out for a few minutes...
The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. - Chuck Palahniuk

Building codes also vary a lot, but usually take things like this into consideration. For example both my dad and I built garages 2 years ago. Roughly the same size, though his cost about several grand more simply due to building codes requiring a more robust structure. Mine is built to my local code and no more, so I have a cheaper but also weaker structure. But it was about all I could afford, plus the main difference between them is the trusses, where my snow load is usually no more than a few inches my dads could be up to a few feet normally. I'm not to worried that my structure is weaker, but if we got a freak blizzard it could be a potential problem.
There was no inspection, not even for the electrical work which I did all myself.
Re: power outages... none around here, atleast than I am aware of. Though I work for a big electric utility I had to deal with all sorts of problems due to outages next door in West Virginia. They got hit real bad, with 2-3 feet of snow in many places.

KETCHIKAN - The U.S. House of Representatives took no action on an amendment that would have stripped funding for logging roads in the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska.
The amendment was ruled out of order Thursday on the grounds it proposes to change existing law. However, two conservation groups are crying foul, saying the amendment went through the proper channels and should have been debated and voted on.
The amendment was offered by Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio. It would have prohibited the federal government from spending money to design or construct roads on the Tongass "for harvesting timber by private entities or individuals."
Tim Bristol, executive director of the Alaska Coalition in Juneau said Friday the move to prevent a vote on the amendment was disappointing.
"We were hoping to see a debate on the floor of the House," he said.
Buck Lindenkugel, conservation director with the Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, agreed.
"We think the votes were there and that is why the Republican leadership resorted to throw in the rule book," he said.
Lindenkugel said the amendment went through the proper channels and should have been voted on.
"This amendment had gone through rules," he said. "That is why everyone was working so hard."
Chabot and Rep. Robert Andrews, D-N.J., offered a similar amendment last year that passed the House and was later removed by Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska in the final spending bill.
Environmental groups argue that the government is spending $48 million annually to subsidize clearcutting on the Tongass.
Chabot last year called spending on logging roads an "egregious corporate subsidy."
Tongass Forest Supervisor Forrest Cole countered that last fiscal year's expenditure on forest products was actually about $25 million, with the rest spent on administration, road and bridge construction unrelated to timber harvests and engineering projects, according a "State of the Tongass" response posted on the forest's Web site Thursday.
Lindenkugel said whatever numbers you use, the Tongass loses huge amounts of taxpayer money each year. The Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, using expenditure data from the U.S. Forest Service, estimates the agency last year took in just $800,000 on timber purchases.

Was William Holden's Death an Accident or Murder?
If you 'Google' "William Holden" or "William Holden's Death" I am sure you will find pages upon pages of articles, blogs and stories pertaining to his untimely demise. However, no one wants to actually figure out the whole story. If you were around when William Holden died you probably read about it or heard about it on the news or radio.
Most stories include that he slipped or tripped on a throw rug and hit his head on a night stand, which in turn caused the injury that killed him. Another tidbit they never fail to mention is that he was allegedly "drunk" due to his blood alcohol level at the time (0.22) according to the Coroner. Of course that would never be left out, given Holden's reputation for alcoholism. This leads you to the conclusion that whole thing should be written off as a 'drunk slip and fall accident' and nothing more.
There are some who say that the apartment Manager, Bill Martin became concerned and let himself into the apartment only to find Holden's body. Many also claim that Stefanie Powers was the long time love of his life. Due to this theory, people assume that is why she inherited most of his fortune after he died.
What if I was to tell you that there was more to this story?
What if I was to tell you that William Holden was no longer with Stefanie Powers but was planning to marry someone else, someone he had a relationship long before Stefanie?
What if I was to tell you that the day he died was just one month short of a planned trip he had with his "secret love." A lady that seems the media has chose to leave out of the story for the last 30 years?
Today, here and now you are going to hear the real facts of the story that have been long left out since November of 1981. You will also see the possible link to Natalie Wood's death as well. Now I am not going to sit here and defame or accuse people downright, but I am going to lay out the facts and then you can be your own detective and draw your own conclusions from it.
Sounds good? Ok, here we go………….
William Holden's body was found Monday, November 16th after the persistent calls from Brian and Elaine Keating, Holden's live in staff at his Palm Springs home. But what many don't know is that they weren't the only ones who were calling the Manager there at Holden's complex at 535 Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica.
In fact, Patricia Morgan Stauffer was the one who kept insisting that someone check on Holden after she hadn't heard from him for several days. Contrary to many stories, the Manager Bill Martin did not seem to care at all about the welfare of Holden. In fact no one had seen or heard from Holden in days until Patricia Stauffer and The Keating's got the police involved after being refused entry into the apartment by none other than the Manager, Bill Martin. Sargeant Dick Tapia was called to the residence and was the first person to discover the body after breaking down the door.
Most people do not know who Patricia Stauffer is in this whole story. She is usually just mentioned briefly in one or two sentences as a caring friend who was concerned about Holden after not hearing from him for several days.
Holden and Stauffer had planned a trip to Africa on December 13th and were to be married at the Kenya Safari Club on New Years Eve just seven weeks from that date. Holden wasn't answering his calls or calling her back for any sort of explanation. After speaking to the Keating's they also grew worried about Holden and started making phone calls.
William Holden's friends and employees, the Keating's were aware that Patricia was his love, not Stefanie Powers as many believed. Even Holden's friend and former publicist Jay Bernstein claimed that he believed that story of Holden and Stauffer planning to wed to be true because he claimed that Bill "had always been in love with her."
Patricia Morgan Stauffer met William Holden on New Year's Eve in 1964. Soon after, Patricia -who was married to Teddy Stauffer at the time, started an ongoing affair with Holden for nearly 10 years while he was going through ups and downs in his marriage to actress Brenda Marshall.
In 1966, Stauffer divorced from her husband while it took until 1971 for Holden and Marshall to be divorced. Patricia claimed that the first round of her relationship with Holden lasted until 1974, when he eventually he became linked to actress, Stefanie Powers. It was known in Holden's family and through his close friends that during his relationship to Powers that he continued to remain very close with Stauffer. It was also not a secret that Holden preferred to keep his personal life quiet and that is why much about his relationship with Patricia before and after Powers,was unknown.
Holden had mentioned marriage to Patricia for years after the divorce of his first wife, but it wasn't until he proposed officially to her over the Labor Day weekend September 1981, that she accepted in front of their friends in La Costa, Calif.
The mainstream media says that Holden was with Stefanie Powers at the time of his death, since she did inherit most of his fortune which he had bequeathed to her in his Will, while Stauffer only inherited a small amount of money (according to my research).
According to Powers in her many interviews she acted as if they were still together at the time of Holden's death despite the fact she no longer lived with him. When asked about their relationship in an interview for harttohartonline.com she says: "Bill and I were like soul mates. He came along at the lowest emotional point in my life. I was working- surviving, but at the end of a very unsuccessful marriage. He helped make me back into a human being...."
When asked about marriage Powers also stated: "We didn't need to get married. We'd both done that before. There was no question of having children- Bill couldn't have anymore. We simply didn't feel the need to marry."
"We didn't need to get married"- may have really meant he didn't want to marry her, not that he didn't ever want to get remarried. Especially so since Patricia Stauffer- who knew Holden much longer than Powers, claims he had spoken of it often to her since the early 1970's.
It is not a secret that Powers' and Holden's relationship was volatile. There are several stories about them having a very explosive relationship and sometimes even having physical fights with one another. Then there are the rumors of his drinking problem and that he was impotent due to extensive alcohol issues, which caused more problems in their relationship. It is true that Powers was no longer living with Holden at the time of his death, but it is very possible she still had a key to the apartment.
So here we are on the day of his death, which the Coroner claims was November 12th (which happened to be a Thursday) and his body was found on Monday the 16th.
Holden was found in his apartment on Monday, November 16th laying on the floor of his bedroom in his Santa Monica apartment. It appeared to Medical Examiner Thomas Noguchi his initial feeling was that Holden had been murdered. However, over the course of the investigation somehow Noguchi's opinion changed.
Holden's body was found in an advanced state of decomposition. He was dressed only in a white blood stained shirt and a robe. His head had a large laceration on the forehead and there were maggots present on his skin and wound due to many days of decomposing on his bedroom floor. The floor surrounding his body was full of blood and body fluids, as well as the sheets of his bed. There was blood spatter on the phone in the bedroom on the nightstand although no evidence that the phone had been used to call for help.
According to Noguchi's notations: "On the basis of the autopsy findings and the at scene investigation, it became clear that the decedent accidentally fell due to tripping over the throw rug on the bedroom floor beside the bed, and fell into the sharp edge of the bedside table causing a deep cut on the right forehead followed by profuse hemorrhage. There is no evidence of vomiting blood as there is no evidence of hemorrhage in the Gastrointestinal Tract or gastric contents in the blood pool on the bed or on the floor. There is no evidence of foul play as the room is not disturbed and the room was well secured as well as presence of numerous blood soaked beside the bed."
So the report claimed that Holden's blood alcohol level was 0.22. So what!
If you read my story about Natalie Wood you would know that I have clarified the fact that when a person dies their body starts to produce ethanol on its own, to start the decomposition process. So basically unless you check the vitreous humour (in the eye) to check for pre-mortem alcohol levels there is no way to differentiate the two types of ethanol in your system (pre or post mortem) from the blood or organs.
Therefore, after four days of William Holden's body laying there rotting away on the floor, the ethanol his body created to start decomposition is more than likely the cause for such a high blood alcohol level and not that he was drunk. I am so surprised that these doctors, being that they are licensed and supposed to be able to figure this stuff out just left all this out of both Natalie's autopsy report and William Holden's as well.
I find it quite interesting that Dr. Noguchi stated that at first glance he thought Holden had been murdered, but then he later recanted that statement. I also think it is quite interesting in how the Coroners claim he died. They think he slipped on a rug and hit the teak nightstand in his bedroom. The autopsy claims that his head hit with such a force that it caused a "blunt laceration of the scalp" which was 2 inches long and the nightstand was pushed so hard into the wall that it left an indention in the wall 3 inches deep.
When one of the investigators at the scene tried to move the nightstand he had to ask for other men to help him move it. Doesn't that tell you something? How did William Holden trip and hit his head so hard on the nightstand that it would leave such a deep impression into the wall, but yet it was so difficult for one man to move on his own?
(Personal Opinion: I think that someone hit him over the head with an object, and staged the nightstand to look as if he hit it and caused the injury.)
If this was the case, it had to be more than one person to move that nightstand, too. It was also stated that the apartment was decorated to look like the stage of the movie "Love is a Many Splendoured Thing" and everything was neat and put in its place most of the time. But upon investigation the teak nightstand was sticking out like a sore thumb in the way it was placed in the room, it had been moved there by someone....it didn't appear that it was supposed to be there normally.
So here we are at the scene, can you imagine it now?
There is William Holden, he has been hit by some object and is profusely bleeding. The reports say he may have been conscious for up to fifteen minutes before death. It was obvious that if he was murdered, he was awake in the room with his killer or killers.
The injury didn't crack his skull as many appear to think, because the death certificate says his cause of death was "exsanguination" meaning he bled out. The laceration on his forehead was also on the death certificate but there was no mention of skull fracture or brain injury from the blunt force to the head.
Many speculated that Holden was a depressed drunk and had committed suicide however his friends and family knew that was not the case. "That is not what Bill left us, the fact that he had a battle with alcohol is not the story of his life," said friend and former publicist Jay Bernstein. "He was not looking to end his life. He had proposed marriage to someone he had known for seventeen years."
In fact, as soon as Bill Holden had found out that work on an upcoming project, "The Championship Season" had been postponed until the Spring of '82, that is when he made plans to go on his Kenya Safari vacation with Stauffer to spend those weeks together, marrying on New Years Eve.
So how is all this connected to Natalie Wood? Well, I cannot give you a concrete affirmation that this is connected to her death. But I will state to you the scenario that is a possibility.
So here it is the early 80's and the series "Hart to Hart" starring none other than Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers is in its prime. Powers' and Holden's relationship was not much of anything anymore and Powers' was living in her own house as well. Remember, Stefanie Powers wasn't all that famous before she got with William Holden. Their May-December romance was one many didn't understand or cared to understand. Holden had nothing to gain out of his relationship, but Powers' had everything to gain. When he died, she got a huge chunk of his estate, and the media craze from Holden's mysterious death sky rocketed her into serious celebrity status.
FOR THE RECORD, I am not accusing or insinuating that Stephanie Powers had ANYTHING to do with William Holden's death, I am merely stating the information that is already out there in public domain that speaks about their past relationship. One thing though that I would like you to remember, Holden was planning to marry Patricia Stauffer and they were just about to leave on their trip and get married. He wasn't in a relationship with Stephanie Powers when he died.
I just find it very strange that both William Holden who was linked to Powers (Hart to Hart) and Natalie Wood who was married to Wagner (Hart to Hart) both died within two weeks of one another. Both people suffering from suspicious deaths, both examined by Dr. Noguchi and both ruled "Accidental" when the evidence says otherwise.
The evidence doesn't lie. Go ahead and do your own investigation into William Holden's death and I am sure you will find holes in it, just as you will find tons of holes in Natalie Wood's death, too.
It hurts me to my very core wondering what truly happened to both Natalie Wood and William Holden, and how much I feel that the two deaths are somehow connected. Even if there isn't any way of proving it.
History is full of mysteries and unsolved or suspicious deaths that are ruled "accidental" but sometimes with the right information and the passion to uncover the truth you can see through the veil of lies and open your eyes to the truth, hidden in plain sight!

Possibly Bill HOlden was murdered to frighten Jackie Onassis into silence about her suspicions of who had JFK murdered? Breaking story about release of her tapes, she had an affair with William Holden. Could it be????ReplyDelete
Masteraceman123456- Thank you for your comment. You bring up a good point. However, if someone was going to kill William Holden in regards to Jackie O's suspicions one would think it would have happened way back when all of that was fresh...right after JFK had died. Personally I think Jackie O was spot on because you have to think "Who would have anything to gain by JFK being killed?" -Answer: the Vice President. Of course once he became the President he had his powers to do what he wanted and shut whoever he wanted up. But, I just don't think Bill Holden would have been killed so many years later because of it. Again, though there is really no way to know. Maybe Jackie O confided in Bill? We may never know the whole truth to it, but you did make a great point and you have inspired me to look into the Jackie O tapes further. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Just discovered your blog looking for info about Paul Bern. It is fascinating and well-written. I have always been interested in true crime, and Hollywood, and your stories are the best of both. I have read much of the material on Natalie Wood, but you are the first person I have read to raise questions about the death of William Holden. I will tell you, my mom, who died from Alzheimer's in July at the age of 87, fell in her bedroom in my house 2 yrs ago, and hit her head on the dresser going down. My husband checked on her after we put her to bed because he saw a light under the door. She had a wound on her forehead about 2 inches long, and I would never have believed the pool of blood she was in if I hadn't seen it myself - it surrounded her whole body and looked like her whole blood volume was there on the floor. Head wounds do bleed profusely, and my mom surely would have exsanguinated if my husband hadn't found her. Of course, Noguchi's turn about and the position of the teak piece are something else entirely. I can't wait to read your blog archive. Thanks and best wishes.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for that comment Penny. I appreciate you giving your view of such an injury since you have witnessed a similar situation. I do agree with you that head injuries can be very fatal, as I have spoken to a few other people after publishing this piece that confirm that a cut on the forehead can bleed out profusely...having said that, I thank you about my theory too. I could see that if the teak nightstand hadn't been moved and hadn't been pushed into the wall to "look" like Bill Holden slipped and fell onto it, then I could see how it would probably be an accidental death. But knowing all the circumstances surrounding his strange death leads me to believe in foul play. Thank you again for your lovely comment. I hope you enjoy my many stories. Take care!Delete
You have been blessed with a gift for spotting the truth. I have known for almost 6 years that William Holden and Natalie Wood were murdered but having a new voice proclaiming this news keeps the truth out there. Keep talking!Replies
Thank you Justice777....I appreciate that comment. I do my best to find the answers even when no one else wants to give them. I truly believe that Bill Holden and Natalie Wood were murdered, again that is my opinion. I am glad that others such as yourself can put 2 and 2 together and come to the same logical conclusions as well. I am a truth seeker and someone who hopes for justice in all cases. Let's hope one day the media "gets on the ball" and sees it for what it was... take care!Delete
I wanted to express my opinion since I have become increasing interested in this case as well as the Wood case. At first it was just to read about how Wm Holden died and then I came across this site and it sent my detective instincts out. I have a degree in MA Forensic Psych so this is something that has troubled me since the Natalie Wood death, but then when Stephanie Powers name came up it set bells and whistles off and the realization how close in time these two deaths are linked. The connection is uncanning and I have never believed Robert Wagner for a minute--the whole story doesn't make good logical sense. I have been researching Wm Holden's death as well and that is when I came on this site, It would be questionable that someone would fall and not ring for help if as the corner stated he was conscious for 15-20 minutes, that is a natural instinct when one is injured, I know alcohol consumption can diminish one's ability to reason, but why did it take 4 days to get some to check on Holden? Unfortunately he has been cremated so there is only the hope that something else with develop in the Wood case which for a while seemed to be getting some place. There could be a death bed confession but I doubt that will happen. The sad part is when money is involved especially the kind we are confronted with in these cases it seals a lot of information.ReplyDelete
I appreciate the "rest of the story" It bothers me that no one else has looked into this deeper and opened another investigation.Replies
Thank you for the comment Linda! (I got your email, too. thanks) I agree with you that it bugs me no one has ever looked into Bill Holden's death more thoroughly. Remember this, Noguchi oversaw both Natalie and Bill's autopsies. And like you say, money talks.... I enjoy when I get a comment from someone in regards to my stories because I see there still are "TRUTH SEEKERS" left out here in the world...sometimes its lonely out here thinking we are a dying breed. Most people nowadays walk around with blinders on.Delete
As far as pointing the fingers on "whodunnit" I can't say as far as Bill's story. I do know that he was engaged to Patricia Stauffer at the time of his death, and it was her urging the manager of the apartments he was living in to check on him that led to discovering his body after he failed to contact her for their trip to Africa to get married. --- Who came in and killed him? We will never know for sure. We have no evidence to point to anyone, only speculation. Remember, its not about what we think we know, its about what you can prove. --sadly.
As far as Natalie Wood, well we know there were only 3 other men on board of the boat so there are three suspects (if not all)....that we do know. And hopefully the new investigation on Natalie Wood's death will finally answer those questions. (By the way, did you notice that my blog on Natalie Wood's death was written ONE YEAR prior to all the major newspapers recent articles basically stating what I had already covered 12 months earlier?)--- Neat huh? I out scooped the major papers.....
I just wanted to mention a point. Your blog says that William Holden and Patricia Stauffer were going to leave for Kenya on Nov. 13th, but reading the article in the Daytona Beach Morning Journal that most of this appears to be based on, it says they were scheduled to leave Dec. 13th, about a month after Holden died. It doesn't really change anything, but if they had actually been scheduled to leave on Nov. 13th and he had not shown up at the airport for the flight, she probably would have been even more concerned and gone directly to his apartment with the police. As a result, the body might have been discovered only a day or so after he had actually died. Forensically, this might have made some difference in the autopsy.ReplyDelete
Anyway...I think it is all interesting and indeed a bizarre coincidence that Holden and Wood died mysteriously under accidental circumstances within just a couple of weeks of each other. Not sure it necessarily means foul play, especially in Holden's case. Just very sad that such a great and talented star could die in this way. He was still making very good movies; in fact, his part in "S.O.B.", released the summer before all this happened, is really one of his best I think.Replies
In my investigating I must have somehow read it wrong, you are absolutely right about it being December and not November. My apologies. It does make a difference, however Pat still tried to get a hold of him for days before they finally got into the apartment and found him. The fact that both Holden's and Wood's deaths were so close in time and similar in being "accidental"-both autopsies done by Noguchi leaves room for many theories and much speculation. Personally, I still feel there is more to this story than we will ever know.- Thanks again for pointing that out to me, much appreciated. (I will fix it ) :-)Delete

By Dimitris Kontos
|Ádám Hanga was in fine fettle this summer, leading Hungary in several statistical categories
Hungary was last ruled by a king during the now distant Hapsburg era, but this summer saw the rise of a new sort of undisputed leader in the central European country.
Adam Hanga, at the age of 23, was effectively handed the crown in a national team that dreams of returning to a glorious past, its last EuroBasket podium dating back to 1955.
The 2.00m guard/forward responded to the anointment in imperious form, leading the team in scoring, steals and blocks in the EuroBasket Qualification Round.
Did the young Hanga feel the responsibility of a leader?
"Of course," he tells FIBAEurope.com
"Last year in Spain (with ACB club Assignia Manresa) I think I had a great season and everyone in Hungary was sort of expecting me to lead the team.
"I think I did pretty well but I cannot really say I did a god job, because we didn't qualify."
Hanga averaged 16.1 points per contest but Hungary only won three of their eight games and finished in fourth place in Group D.
"We played against really good teams like Croatia and Ukraine and this was a very good experience for both me and the team," Hanga recalls.
"But there was a big disappointment of course because we didn't make it, and I really think we could have made it, but just after the third lost game or so we lost our trust and our faith."
It's even worse when the team feel they came oh so close to their goal.
"For example, we lost by two points (81-79) to Croatia at home, that was a really important game," Hanga explains.
"But that's how they play, they have tough, experienced players who play for Euroleague teams and we were a team that didn't have so much experience at this level.
"It was some small details but that's basketball, small things can make a big difference.
"So I was really sad but I had to put it behind me to come back to Manresa."
Hanga, who sports a big warm smile off the court, would definitely be a benevolent monarch.
He would also be the most decisive of rulers.
His extraordinary athletic ability, combined with a great vision of the game, allow him to move towards the ball first among teammates and opponents and know exactly what to do with it once he gets it - normally a spectacular dunk if he's on the offensive end.
There is never a moment of hesitation. So if, for example, Hungary head coach Laszlo Ratgeber called him tomorrow and asked him if he can count on him in the summer when the national team is involved in qualifying for EuroBasket 2015 he would know exactly what to say, right?
|Prince with hops: Ádám Hanga's athleticism allows him to dunk or block shots almost at will
"That's a good question," Hanga responds with his trademark smile.
There is a pause and you can almost see the wheels turning in the back of the brain of this player who never hesitates.
"I don't know yet. I am always ready for the national team, I am ready to go and do the same thing again and again.
"But, I got drafted by San Antonio (Spurs) and if I get the chance to go practice with them or join the team it will be a big opportunity for me, for my career, so I don't know yet, it's going to be a tough decision."
There is no need to choose between Hungary and Texas just yet, there are more pressing matters at hand until right now.
"After last year's good showing there is more pressure this season at Manresa but I think I started the season really bad," he admits.
The explosive Hungarian is only averaging six points on 31 percent shooting from the floor during the first five games of the 2012/13 Spanish Liga Endesa, well below his respective figures in the previous season.
"But I keep working on it and try to take it game by game and improve in every game.
"We started with five losses but we have thirty more games, so it's a long season and we can turn it around."
Watch Adam Hanga's dunk in the EuroBasket Qualification Round, good for a top ten finish for the summer.

Leicester City's players spent the weekend celebrating a deserved promotion to the Premier League but this was the hangover from hell.
Just days after the champagne bottles had been uncorked, Brighton served up a sobering experience and in the process emphatically revived their mission to scramble into the play-offs.
Brighton were not simply party poopers, they gatecrashed the King Power Stadium and stole the streamers and booze in a clinical, stylish display that leaves them two points behind Reading in sixth place.
It was only Leicester's first defeat in 22 games and hardly the evening the crowd of nearly 30,000 would have anticipated but will do little to sabotage an excellent season, even if Pearson's mood was dark.
"It's not a great night and it's down to earth with a bump," he said. "The players don't feel great and to celebrate you must do it with a performance and we didn't get it. This was a wake-up call.
"We looked a shadow of what we've been about this season and too many individuals were way off the mark. There is an element of people maybe relaxing because we've already achieved promotion but we've got five games left and want to win the title."
Pearson's success cannot be underestimated and should hopefully act as a reminder to panicking chairmen that changing managers does not always yield a shift in fortune. After the bitter disappointment of defeat in last season's play-offs, promotion has been achieved against a backdrop of uncertainty with expiring contracts and the omnipresent pressure of ending the club's long exile from the Premier League.
Not even this reality check could damage the feel-good factor. Leicester had not suffered a league defeat since their meeting at Brighton in early December and were dreadful for much of the night.
Brighton had already been threatening frequently before taking a 17th-minute lead through a Stephen Ward header. They increased their lead seven minutes later, with Ward's exquisite cross from the left presenting Jesse Lingard with another simple header. "Premier League, you're having a laugh" came the chant from the 689 Brighton fans in the corner.
Leicester made a marginal improvement in the second period, with substitute Chris Wood striking a post, but the outstanding Leonardo Ulloa bludgeoned in a third goal and added a fourth ten minutes from time.
Gary Taylor-Fletcher, a Leicester substitute, swept home a consolation goal but this was hardly an accurate reflection of an outstanding campaign.
Brighton's season, however, is still alive. Óscar García, the manager, said: "It's a massive result for us because it's against a Premier League side. We are well positioned but I am only focused on the next game and I hope the players are the same."
Match details
Leicester City (4-4-2) Schmeichel; Moore, Morgan, Wasilewski, Konchesky; Mahrez (Taylor-Fletcher 73), King, Drinkwater, Knockaert (Dyer h-t); Nugent, Phillips (Wood h-t). Subs Logan (g), Hammond, James, Miquel. Booked Nugent, Wasilewski.
Brighton & Hove Albion (4-5-1) Kuszczak; Calderón, Greer, Upson, Ward; Lua Lua (López 87), Andrews, Stephens, March (Forster-Caskey 82), Lingard (Mackail-Smith 87); Ulloa. Subs Ankergen (g), Dunk, Chicksen, Ince. Booked Upson.

Last weekend, teens working with Mothers Against Drunk Driving's Youth In Action and state Alcohol Beverage Control officers discovered that it is not difficult to find adult strangers who will buy alcohol for teens.
Ranging in age from 14 to 19, the teens stood downtown near liquor stores and asked passing strangers to buy alcohol for them while admitting to be underage. Whether the adult answered yes or no, the teens then presented him with a card that explained this was only a survey, and the legal consequences of actually buying for someone underage. An ABC officer stood nearby to ensure the teens' safety and to assure people of the legality of the survey.
One pair of teens, which included a 14-year-old with braces on his teeth, had to wait only eight minutes before a young man said he would buy for them. Another pair of teens had to wait only about a minute before a middle-aged woman agreed. Overall, the teens spent one hour in two different locations downtown and found that four out of the 24 parties they asked were willing to buy.
"We were surprised and disappointed at how easy it was to find someone willing to buy," YIA coordinator Jessica Paris said. "However, we also had some adults who responded very admirably. One woman, not realizing it was a survey, went into the nearest liquor store and asked them to call the police. And at Kenny's Liquor Market, the clerk came out to investigate what the teens were doing."
One adult the teens asked happened to be state Rep. Kevin Meyer, who sponsored legislation last year allowing liquor stores to sue adults for buying alcohol for minors as well as the teens who solicit the alcohol. Rep. Meyer refused to buy for them, warning them he could get in big trouble.
"This survey shows us that we have to work harder to convince people they shouldn't provide alcohol to teens," Paris said. "Adults need to know about the tragedies that accompany underage drinking, as well as the serious legal consequences for providing to a minor."
ABC also conducted compliance checks over the weekend in which teen agents, aged 18 to 19, attempted to buy alcohol directly from liquor stores. Although Juneau had 100 percent compliance in last summer's checks, in 27 checks held last weekend, clerks sold to underage teens twice. Clerks, bartenders and wait staff face the same penalties for providing to an underage person that regular adults do - fines of up to $10,000 and up to one year in jail, though a typical sentence is $1,000 and five days in jail.
