Hi all,
This is my first blog post at tennispolis, and I really enjoy this community:)
I will share with you a basic shoulder prevention program that every tennis player should do. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a pro player. It's important for every tennis player to do these exercises. Many tennis players feel pain in their shoulders, and that is because of poor technique or overuse of the shoulder. In other words, your rotator cuff muscles are weak and they need to be strengthened.
I will show you 3 exercises that you can perform on the tennis court or at home, and the program only takes 5-10 minutes to do. You should do this program 2-3 times per week.
The 3 exercises are:
Head over to my website http://maxtennisfitness.com/basic-shoulder-prevention-program/ and read the exercise instructions and download a free workout card that you can bring to the tennis court. There are also videos and pictures of the exercises that you can watch.
Let me know of what you think of the tennis fitness program.

While I type this, I'm currently an unemployed game designer. There was a point in my life a long time ago where I didn't really identify myself by the job that I do. That was back in the day when I was a janitor, a dishwasher, a caddy, a paperboy, or a fast food employee. Later down the line when I got a job testing games, I called myself a game tester, because that's what they called us in the early 90s. Now they are called Quality Assurance Analysts. Sounds Fancy doesn't it?
Well, back when I was a tester, I started what now has become my career of being in video games. I've been a Tester, a QA Supervisor, a Level Designer, and worked by way up to being a Senior Game Designer. Somewhere along that timeline I went from being some guy who did his work somewhere to identifying himself as a game designer.
I'm proud of the fact that I'm a game designer! I love the fact that I have had a hand in creating games that I love. You see, before I ever became a designer, or a janitor for that matter, I was a gamer. I've been a gamer since the early 80s! Games have always been and probably always will be a major part of my life. It's in my blood. You could say I'm a gamer first and a designer second. They are so intertwined with each other though, its hard to tell which is which.
It's one thing to love games, but its an entire different matter when you eat sleep and breathe them both at home and work. I feel so fortunate to have a wife who understands my passion for gaming and is so supportive of my efforts. She's even so cool shes made characters in EQ2 just to play with me from time to time. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I've really loved it the past 17 years and hope to have at least that many more years ahead of me in the industry that I love so much.
One of the funny things about being a game designer, especially one coming from a QA background is, you never can really turn off the QA switch. Its one of those buttons that just get stuck, its like seeing the Matrix, they can't just shove you back in the tube to where you can't see the lady in the red dress. I see the lady all the time, and I'm well aware that there is no spoon. This is what happens to you when you get this intimate with games. You not only see problems when you are playing them, you can't help but pick at them and see if it breaks some more. On top of that old "wanting to break the game" thing I do, I can't help but wonder how I would do this or that differently with each game I play. You just can't turn off the designer part of your brain once you get the ball rolling.
So, I'm in the process of looking for work, and while I look at jobs out there, both near and far, I wonder if I'm at another turning point in my long career where I might want to try something different? Can I? I don't know if I could leave the game industry altogether, I think I just like making games too much. I sometimes wonder if I would do well in a production role where I work with a wider lens than say a specific part of the game. I'm 100% positive I'm capable of doing that kind of job, hell, I know probably a dozen people at least that came up through QA under my supervision who are now producers at various companies. Most of the people I worked with in QA that have moved on and upward in the industry have invariably gone on into production roles. I think that's really cool. Anyways, now I'm in a position to try and reach out and see what I might do next, and to be honest I don't know yet! Then there is that whole wide world out there. I've worked on some really cool projects in the past, and now I wonder what else could be in store for me? So many people with so many different jobs. I'll always be a gamer, but will I always be a designer? It makes me wonder sometimes, though I guess I have plenty of time to think about it.
Anyways, I think I'll write a small series of posts talking about games I've had a hand in designing going into the deep past. Why not eh?

View or download TTU football game notes vs. Austin
Peay (PDF)
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- On the heels of an overtime upset victory against No. 23 UT Martin last week, the Tennessee Tech football team looks to close out the season with back-to-back wins on Saturday when it plays a road game at Austin Peay.
With an early kickoff time for national television (Fox College Sports) at 11 a.m., the Golden Eagles have a chance to tie for the Sgt. York Trophy. A Tech victory (coupled with a win by UT Martin over Tennessee State) would put Tech's name on the trophy for the third consecutive year.
The Golden Eagle offense piled up 575 total yards against the Skyhawks, the most in Watson Brown's six seasons as head coach. Sophomore quarterback Darian Stone tied a school record with 190 rushing yards (most by a quarterback) and accounted for 467 yards of total offense, the second-highest game in school history.
Junior wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers needs one touchdown
catch to tie the school record (10) for most in a season. He is
also within reach of school marks for most catches (needs 13) and
most yards (needs 78) in a season.
On defense, sophomore Tra'Darius Goff is within six tackles of making 100 this season.
On special teams, kicker Zach Sharp has already broken one school record (most consecutive PATs) by successfully making his last 53 PAT kicks including 11 to end last year and all 42 this year. He needs four PAT kicks to tie his own school record of 46 in a season.
Punter Chad Zinchini is also in line for a school record. His current average of 44.6 yards per kicks would break the record (currently 44.5 yards per kick).
Freshman Ladarius Vanlier has 32 kickoff returns, needing two to tie the school record.
Tech leads the all-time series, 28-17-1, including the last three.

Tennessee Tech Last Week: W, 45-44 vs. #23 UT Martin (OT)
Austin Peay Last Week:....... L, 38-23 at Jacksonville State
GAME NOTES: In-state rivals Austin Peay and Tennessee Tech will close out the 2012 season in the OVC TV Game of the Week on Saturday. The game will air live on FOX College Sports and be delayed on FOX Sports South (10 p.m. CT). The game is part of the Sgt. York Trophy series and Tennessee Tech can gain a share of the crown with a victory and a loss by Tennessee State. TTU has won the last three in the series with APSU, including a 49-7 victory a year ago in Cookeville that gave the Golden Eagles the OVC Championship. In that game the No. 21 ranked Golden Eagles led 14-7 at halftime but scored 28 unanswered points in the third quarter on its way to the 42-point victory. Tech was led by Dontey Gay who rushed for 192 yards and a touchdown while Tre Lamb passed for 112 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 52 yards and three more scores.
SCOUTING TENNESSEE TECH: Having battled injuries most of the season, Tennessee Tech finally had luck on its side on Saturday in topping No. 23 UT Martin 45-44 in overtime. Tech had entered the game having lost each of its last two games (to nationally-ranked TSU and OVC champion Eastern Illinois) by a combined eight points, but snapped its seven-game losing streak thanks to sophomore quarterback Darian Stone. Stone produced 466 yards of total offense (second-most in school history) to lead his team to the come-from-behind victory. In just his third career start Stone completed 16-of-29 passes for 277 yards and three scores (including a 79-yard touchdown to put his team on top with 1:10 to play in regulation) and rushed for 190 yards, the most by a TTU quarterback in school history. The performance earned him Sports Network National Offensive Player of the Week honors. Doug Page rushed for 81 yards and two touchdowns, including a 2-yard run in overtime that ultimately proved to be the game-winner (after UTM missed an extra point attempt). Freshman cornerback Demario Donnell made his first career and made 15 tackles and broke up a pass in the victory. Senior Marcus Edwards added nine tackles, 2.0 sacks and forced a fumble.
SCOUTING AUSTIN PEAY: Austin Peay held a 16-14 halftime advantage at Jacksonville State on Saturday but was outscored 21-0 in the third quarter on its way to a 38-23 loss. Senior quarterback Jake Ryan had a big day, setting APSU single-game records for pass attempts (60) and completions (41). He passed for a career-high 375 yards and had three touchdowns. The senior needs 35 completions to move into first place on the APSU career list (504 by Jesse Kellogg from 2001-05). Ryan completed passes to nine different receivers with Devin Stark (70 yards, 1 TD), Reco Williams (67 yards, 1 TD) and Terrence Oliver (64 yards) each catching eight passes. The freshman Williams had a big game, catching those eight passes and also rushing for a team-high 73 yards. Oliver also had 50 rushing yards and 106 kickoff return yards to account for a game-high 220 all-purpose yards. Stark now has 58 catches on the season, the most by an APSU receiver since Lanis Frederick had 77 in the 2006 season. The Governors are looking to snap a 13-game Conference losing streak dating back to a win over Tennessee State last season.

Seizing on low-interest rates that have spurred a flurry of refinancing activity, the bank again notched record profits. For the last 12 quarters, profits at the bank have increased.
In this latest quarter, Wells Fargo, based in San Francisco, reported earnings of 91 cents a share, which exceeded analysts' expectations. Analysts had estimated that the bank would report earnings of 89 cents a share.
Wells Fargo, unlike many of its rivals, has been able to steadily increase its revenue. The first bank to release fourth-quarter earnings, Wells Fargo reported $21.95 billion in revenue in the fourth quarter, up 7 percent from a year earlier.
Much of the revenue gains stemmed from the bank's consumer lending business, as borrowers jumped on record low interest rates to refinance their mortgages. Wells Fargo, which dominates the market as the nation's largest mortgage lender, notched $125 billion in mortgage originations, up from $120 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011. Refinancing applications accounted for nearly 75 percent of that total.
The big profit in the group came from the extra money Wells Fargo makes bundling the mortgages into bonds and selling them to the government. In the fourth quarter, the bank reported $2.8 billion of net gains on its mortgages activities, up 51 percent.

HOUSTON — His words cast a pall over this weekend, raising doubt and concern. Kevin Garnett has been an NBA All-Star 15 times, tied for the second most in NBA history, but he said Wednesday night that he "definitely" won't be an All-Star again.
That set up the backdrop: Garnett would come to this city for an unexpected and hasty All-Star farewell. He'd play on Sunday, the Texas sun would set, and that would be that, leaving future All-Star Games absent one of the sport's true icons.
But would he play out the final two years of his contract with the Celtics? Would he retire at season's end? It wasn't clear, because Garnett had followed up that comment with, "Y'all don't know what I know."
A Garnett-less Celtics team suddenly, if abruptly, seemed near.
So, under this cloud, Garnett strolled into a hotel ballroom Friday afternoon in jeans and a black T-shirt wrapped in a black cardigan. In a jovial fashion, he sat down before a bank of video cameras, digital recorders, and questions of his future.
Garnett laughed when an early query focused on if this, in fact, was his final All-Star appearance.
"It came out as me saying this was my last, but I'm not an egotistical guy or none of that, and I wasn't just going to say that, 'Yeah, by the way, I'm going to be an All-Star next year,' " he said. "To be honest, I'm more than grateful to be here."
For 30 minutes, Garnett held court, touching on various subjects but largely reminiscing, especially about previous All-Star Games.
He listed the 1997 game, when he met Wilt Chamberlain: "That was from here to the moon"; the 1998 game, when he enjoyed the matchup of a young Kobe Bryant against Michael Jordan in New York; and the 2003 game in Atlanta, which was Jordan's last.
Several times, Garnett was asked about his statement that this All-Star Game would be his last.
"I should have never said that, huh?" he said.
And later: "I've run out of answers for that question."
As for his statement that he knew something the media didn't, Garnett said it meant "exactly what it meant."
What does he know that the media doesn't know?
"That you don't know," Garnett sheepishly answered, with a laugh.
And of retirement?
"Each year I assess myself, and as long as I'm able to always give something to a team and be productive and hold up the standards that I'm comfortable with, then and only then do I think of things like that," Garnett said.
There wasn't a great deal of certainty in his comments, nothing concrete. There were allusions, but no guarantees. Garnett certainly gave himself an out, if he needs it.
Garnett first played in the All-Star Game at age 20. Whether this is his final rodeo, a tone of appreciation settled into the ballroom, filled with many players more than a decade his junior.
"He inspired me," said Lakers center Dwight Howard, who added that he wears the No. 12 partly because of Garnett, who wore those same digits — 21 — in Minnesota.
Garnett's passion rubs some the wrong way, and Howard said it took time before he learned not to take it personally.
Sam Cassell, who played with Garnett in Minnesota and Boston, said you could only appreciate Garnett if he was your teammate.
"See, the people think the passion he has on the court at 7 o'clock is make-believe, but you know, he's like that all the time," Cassell said. "He's even worse in practice because he can say whatever he wants . . . I would love to have his demeanor."
Though a stone-cold competitor, Garnett said he's come to enjoy these events more and more.
"As you get older, you tend to cling on," he said. "You tend to appreciate those small moments — moments like this — and I'm no different from that. You've got to take this and enjoy it a little bit more."
The topic of legacy, of his imprint on the game, was broached, however premature that subject may be. He paused, collecting thoughts, formulating the appropriate response.
"I never looked to claim anything from this game because there are plenty of players that have come before me," he said.
"I've always said I just play it hard, I work on my craft, and I tried to perfect my craft as best I could. And that's what I am; I'm a worker and a person who loves what he does.
"I'm sure there's people in the past who came through and had that kind of makeup. And after I'm gone, I'm pretty sure there will be somebody else who has that type of makeup."
For another player precisely like Garnett to emerge is a stretch, if not an impossibility.
But for Garnett's place in Celtics lore, legend Tom "Satch" Sanders put it simply.
"It's a matter of whether they wore the green and wore it well," Sanders said, "and there's no question that he's worn the green — and he's still wearing it well."Baxter Holmes can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at @BaxterHolmes.

Hacker Fears Have Frustrated Efforts to Downsize Dot-Gov Sprawl
Concerns about data compromises are partly to blame for drawing out an effort to merge roughly 2,000 government websites.
Concerns about data compromises are partly to blame for drawing out an effort to merge roughly 2,000 dot-gov websites, according to federal officials and internal emails.
But officials say they are still committed to making government services and information easier to navigate, as the website consolidation initiative approaches its three-year anniversary.
Combining National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website content with content from the Coast Guard illustrates the trickiness. The Coast Guard, a Homeland Security Department agency with a dot-mil suffix, is more of a bull's eye for hackers than NOAA, officials say.
USCG employees shy away from sharing data with other agencies, one information technology employee complained on the government's Web content managers listserv in 2012. Nextgov retrieved the message, with the employee's name redacted, through an open records request.
The Coast Guard staff "are security maniacs because hackers like to target them," wrote a NOAA web manager in the Office of Space Commercialization, which is part of the Department of Commerce.
"I tried to syndicate RSS feeds from the CG server to the DOC server. It didn't work because DOC blocks external content, and the DOC guys said no way even when I explained that CG is rabid about security and that I control the content on their server. How are we ever supposed to avoid duplication of content if content cannot be shared?" the manager questioned.
Coast Guard officials acknowledge that personnel are worried about protecting their information when linking to other agencies' machines.
Each agency official responsible for a Web system "is of course concerned with protecting their networks and systems," Coast Guard spokeswoman Lisa Novak said. "One significant challenge is sharing data between separate domains such as .gov and .mil. [The service] operates in the .mil environment and recent cyberattacks from applications that have an Internet facing component have sensitized [information technology] officials to closely monitor interconnections."
In June 2011, the Obama administration set a one-year goal to cut in half the government's 2,000 main dot-gov domains, such as USASpending.gov and IRS.gov.
Around the time of the initiative's two-year anniversary, Nextgov reported that, for the first time, there were fewer than 1,000 unique government domains.
Today, the number of separate sites has crept up to 1,223. Of those, about 305 are empty and redirect to another site, White House officials say.
Security Concerns
A reluctance to yield control of data frustrated the push to fuse some sites, the NOAA Web manager said.
"IT managers are totally averse to downloading content to their network from an external network, no matter how secure that external network is," the manager said. "They cannot accept responsibility for viruses or malware getting into their network due to content syndication," through RSS feeds, for instance.
The manager apologized for posting a long entry about an individual dilemma to the whole listserv, but reasoned other officials were experiencing the same problem.
"This is something that is really bothering me as I try to implement the Web consolidation initiative on only two of the sites that I manage. Now multiply this by hundreds of government sites . . . without the right technology solutions, I start to wonder if we're really improving the federal Web or making it worse," the manager said.
The governmentwide initiative began with a three-month freeze on all new dot-gov websites to get a handle on the extent of webpage sprawl. Administration officials described the effort as a first step in fulfilling a June 13, 2011, presidential executive order to cut waste and streamline government operations.
The emphasis was more on streamlining Internet operations than cutting waste. The cost of maintaining some sites is relatively small, officials admitted.
To minimize the risk of breaches, Coast Guard officials sign a formal "interconnect security agreement" with partner agencies, Novak said. And before doing so, each USCG agency reviews the security posture of the other agency.
Novak could not address the specific ordeal the NOAA Web manager portrayed. She said the comments are vague in terms of identifying specific websites, systems and networks. In general, the Coast Guard "shares data and enjoys service that NOAA provides for several applications," Novak said. "We are currently exchanging data with our NOAA partners."
NOAA spokesman David Miller declined to speak about the manager's troubles. "NOAA continues to make consolidating websites a priority across the agency, but we cannot address specific security issues," he said.
White House officials said the Office of Management and Budget works with agencies to ensure that security issues surrounding website mergers are handled in a timely manner. By law, agencies must make risk-based decisions regarding how to secure their own IT assets, they added.
Officials said the public is welcome to track progress on the downsizing effort through a regularly updated chart on Data.gov.

Just reorganized my spare parts... seems I have a few cups (5681) and locker output shafts (5678) but no gears to put in them. I found an inner diff gear set (5382X) but it has parts that are not needed like the I-bar, pin, and the two output shafts... I have lots of those from previous purchases of this set. So I went to eBay to see if anyone had just the little gears for sale... possibly even an upgraded version and ran across this:
This kit seems to have 4 of the little gears compared to two in 5382X:
But does anyone know if they are the same size??
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
i look to you for answers! i thought u were the smartest one on here! i have nooo clue sorry
Far from it...
Looking closer at the top pick, the bottom, two gears might be different on the back side even if they are the same size.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Well the stampede kit has the same spiders so it is very possible. if so very good find.

What is the PN on the Pede kit?
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
I counted 13 tooth on my lil iPhone screen
Looks pretty close but pics are not to scale
No idea besides the 13
6882 same spiders and outputs except
The outputs are machined down in size at the outer connecters.
Dollars to donuts those are the same it would make sense and cent's

It seems I am only chewing up spiders when I blow a diff... it would be nice to be able to buy just those.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Jimmy did a little fast digging and the Stamede, X0-1, and Slash 4x4 all have the same part # 6882X
Ran down and checked my Pedes output shaft next to a Summit shaft and there seems to be some difference in them in that the Summits is a little bit wider where it inters the case. Other than that they all look to be the same.
Only Difference between part no. 6882 and part no. 6882X is that 6882X has the carrier support.
Which you where probably already aware of.
I have no idea where or for what the "C" clips would be used for that are in the kit you found on E-bay, unless that is something new that has been added.

Fresh off of Ebay : GPM Hardened steel diff gears. They are designed for the erevo but does fit into the summit differential as well.
they are very hard to come by (I have been searching the bay for 5 months before these popped up) buy them fast before I am tempted to buy another set.
EDIT : not so hard to come by, The Toyz are selling them now.

MAN, Use Common Sense.
Outside? THERE IS NO BOX !
Why are you blowing so many spider gears?
And are you sure about those revo gears fitting in lockable diffs? the output shafts might be different on a Revo than a Summit.

PM me for help converting your Summit to brushless
I have only blown one... lol
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
hahaha, I run brushless motors and i have only messed up a diff by over-tightening the slipper clutch nut.
PM me for help converting your Summit to brushless
Yeah, I have my slipper adjusted right finally... now I only need a set of spiders to complete a diff.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Jimmie ya say you need spider gears? I have a couple of extra sets. Will send you a set if you want.
When I bought the Tekin unit bought 4 differential rebuild kits just in case, but sense I went with the Dewalt doubt they will be needed. My slipper is a little on the lose side due to my trucks weight, just to be safe.

You will need them at some point.
The dewalt can destroy diffs quite well if given the opportunity
Sent using lipo power
Mountains cant stop me
they have tried
did we ever figure this out? i need a bunch of spiders (had to rob from the emaxx...a couple times) lol. do the spiders in part no 6982 match the spiders in our summit diffs?
I think the top two do, but from what I see in the pic the bottom two do not. But this has not been confirmed either way.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
I took a peek into this, don`t think its all 4 the same.
I kinda figured the two that drive the axles are different... they really have to be to engage the shaft.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
I wonder if you could drill those out and use them.could call it the 241 spidergear mod
Mountains cant stop me
they have tried
I think were out of luck on the 241 gears.
A little off topic but not really.....does anyone make an aluminum diff cup for the Summit? I'm looking at rebuilding my first set and would like to replace them while torn apart.

I think Hot Racing also makes an aluminium diff cup for Summit? Actually that might be E-Revo? Are they the same?
Slugs are just naturally aspirated snails
Revo and Summit diff cups are different.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Thanks guys! I found an old thread that referred me to a guy on here that was buying like ten at a time from this website above and reselling them from the. I have reached out to both.
I assume it's only a matter of time until a local shop offers them......ust dont know if I can wait that long. LOL
Thanks again!!!
Just ordered a set of these
along with the Toyz when they are back in stock
Will keep everyone informed of my thoughts on these products when I get them.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
This past week, I spoke to another group about online child safety. While many parents are all too aware of the risks children face online and with Internet connected smart devices, our children are still being victimized at an alarming rate.
Two white male juveniles were taken into custody over the weekend after threatening to harm a student via a social media networking site. The two fourteen-year-old boys were students of Groves Middle School and were making terroristic threats to another middle school student via Facebook, according to Lt. Kirk Rice of Groves Police Department.
"The threat was reported on Friday," Rice said. "Two eighth-grade students took part in making threats to do harm via Facebook. The victim was a sixth-grade student."
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
For this week's New York Times crossword puzzle, pick up a copy of this week's The Examiner on newsstands now.

The North Line is the first of three new light-rail lines that are expected to significantly improve transit options in one of the nation's largest and fastest growing areas.
The North Line extends the existing Red Line by 5.3 miles and required the construction of eight new stations. Starting at the University of Houston-Downtown station, the line runs north on North Main to Boundary, crosses east to Fulton, then proceeds north to Northline Commons Mall and the Northline Transit Center.
The U.S. Department of Transportation is providing $900 million toward construction of two new light-rail lines in Houston, including $450 million for the North Line and $450 million for the Southeast Line, which is currently under construction and expected to open in 2014. Funding for both rail lines is provided through FTA's Capital Investment (New Starts) Grant Program.
"The fourth largest city in the United States needs and deserves a world class transit system that meets the needs of residents today and will accommodate Houston's growing population," said FTA Administrator Peter Rogoff. "With more than one million people expected to move to the Houston region over the next decade, public transportation is key to building a successful, sustainable, and competitive environment to do business while creating thousands of jobs along the way."

An American Airlines flight headed from England to Chicago safely made an emergency landing Friday at Ireland's Shannon Airport, an airport official told CNN.
The official did not specify what the emergency on Flight 55 was.
The Boeing 767-300, which had taken off from Manchester, had 212 people aboard. All got off the plane after the landing in Ireland, said Niall Maloney, the head of operations for Shannon Airport.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture issued its initial forecast pegging the 2013-14 Florida orange crop at 125 million boxes, down 6 percent from last season.
The USDA estimated early-mid varieties at 58 million, down from 67.1 million at the end of last season, while the Valencia orange total is at 67 million boxes compared to 66.5 million in 2012-13.
"The number shows HLB continues to affect our industry and growers are faced once again with a challenging season," said Michael W. Sparks, executive vice president and chief executive officer of Florida Citrus Mutual. "The good news is that at this size crop, there should be upward pressure on prices."
The USDA usually makes its initial estimate in October of each year and revises it monthly as the crop takes shape until the end of the season in July. However, the federal government shutdown delayed the estimate until Friday Nov. 8.
During the 2012-13 season, Florida produced 133.6 million boxes of oranges.
The complete USDA estimate is available at http://www.nass.usda.gov/Statistics_by_State/Florida/Publications/Citrus/cpfp.htm.
The estimate of the 2013-14 Florida grapefruit crop is 17.8 million boxes, down from 18.35 million. Specialty fruit checked in at 4.75 million boxes. The yield for frozen concentrate orange juice was 1.60 gallons per 90-pound box.

Confession Tuesday
I'm teaching at the Whidbey island writers workshop this week and this is my room. Well, part of it. There is also a great bedroom. It's in this funky inn overlooking the water, it's fantastic and just my style.
I confess I lost $20 or more on the ferry coming here though.
I have a bad habit of shoving cash in my pockets, my too tight back pockets along with my phone, a pack of gum, you name it, I've probably shoved it in my back pocket. I think when I took out my phone, the cash came with it but I didn't realize it. I cannot tell you how it bums me out to lose $20 or $30.
I always thought I'd get to a point where I'd be okay with that, but my capricorness, frugal saver in my is truly bugged by such a little thing. I guess it just feels so wasteful and irresponsible to me.
It is definitely a place I am hard on myself about. It brings up all those little girl fears about not having enough and not being responsible with money.
I guess I should next confess that my dad was a businessman and a fiscal republican to help explain my $ weirdness.
We were so opposite and yet, even with his rah-rah Ronald Reagan, we were so similar when it came to $$.
I confess it has taken me 30 years to become someone who doesn't worry (as much) over $, but I realize when something minor like losing $20 comes up, it surprises me to feel the old anxieties again.
I confess I wasn't planning on making this about money.
However the one thing that gives me a smile in this whole loss of cash incident, is imagining the person who finds my wad of cash and how that will make their day.
That is a good feeling.
I know, I am so bizarre. Plus, I haven't had my coffee yet.
I confess Waking up on an island in a windstorm / rainstorm is a wonderful treebranch seabird symphony. Love it.

i confess i also recently did the same thing with a $20 as i rushed to the car in icy weather.ReplyDelete
i will also think - some lucky college student perhaps ( i was near a campus ) found that $20 during the beginnings of an ice storm :)
i will also confess that i am jealous of that room. it looks wonderfully comfy!
Love the photo. Looks like the perfect spot.ReplyDelete
I have lost and misplaced money, and when it happens I'm always bummed. That's money I can't spend on my family. But I do like to think that the person who finds it may need it more than me.

Not Fun
Picture it…Deep Creek…1 a.m. I am in as deep a sleep as is possible when one's father is in the hospital. Puppies are curled up beside me, one between my shoulders and one in the small of my back. Mollie prefers her own bed don't you know.
Suddenly, the quiet sounds of the night are pierced…PIERCED…by the ring of the telephone.
I immediately spring into action flipping from my prone position across the bed, over the puppies, and reach the phone before the end of the first ring. Good Lord in Heaven what has happened to my Pops?
A recording greets me with a collect call from an inmate at the Norfolk City Jail. AN. INMATE. As soon as I was able to swallow my heart back down out of my throat, I pretty much slammed the phone back into its cradle and thought about the several choice words I wanted to say to the Norfolk City Jail inmate who randomly picked my number to call at 1 a.m. on a night that my Pops happens to be in the hospital.
As I slowly tried to recover from the stroke I was sure I was having, I noticed the pups looking at me with awe in their eyes. Apparently, my gymnastic performance had truly been amazing and the judges had given me 10's across the board! How cool is that? I'm sure it is a given that I will be contacted any day now by the USA Women's Olympic Gymnastic Team. I'll be sure to let you all know how that goes.
As for Pops…we are still waiting for the results of his ultrasound. If all is clear, he should be released today with instructions to contact his surgeon to set up a date to repair the femoral hernia. Needless to say, he is ready to go home but we want to be sure he is okay to go home first. Your prayers and well wishes are much appreciated. Thank you so much.

It's been a long and hard battle for a top four finish. With only two games to go for Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs, they're all in with a chance of a top three finish.
Only one point separates fourth-placed Arsenal and fifth-placed Tottenham after this week's London derby saw Spurs drop two points. It has left them stuck in fifth and they will now be hoping either Wigan or Newcastle can fight their way to a vital point against Arsenal.
No teams fight harder and are more determined in the last fixtures of the season than the relegation strugglers and teams would do well to avoid them.
Arsenal's last two games are against Wigan and Newcastle United. These two teams have a big problem ahead. Relegation is looming over them both, and cannot afford to drop on single point. They're going to fight, and Arsenal really need to prepare for a tough challenge.
Arsenal may be the favourites to win in both games but the pressure and the power supplied by Wigan and Newcastle may be the key aspects that could see Arsenal drop into the Europa league.
Wigan are known as the survivors. On more than the odd occasion have they found themselves on the verge of a Premier League exit but to survive.
Roberto Martinez, has been the man that has saved them on these occasions, and we shouldn't put it past him to do it again. Wigan's experience in this situation means that they know what they need to do at this stage.
Martinez's next challenge is the clash with Manchester City in the F.A Cup final. This will allow his team to gain knowledge on how to tackle such a big club.
Arsenal themselves have experience with end-of-season scraps and are always ready for a fight. However, their last performance against QPR saw a great first half turn into a nervy and pressurising second half.
QPR at this point were already relegated which meant they had less to fight for than Wigan do. Could Arsenal see there Champions league hopes shattered against Wigan? It is possible, and Arsenal need to be cautious about how they approach this game.
Newcastle also have a chance to surprise Arsenal. Last year, they were a team that surprised many as they finished in a very strong position. They managed to reach the Europa league themselves, but now face a tougher challenge.
This team has quality in players such as Cabaye and Coloccini and they have proven in the past that they can take Arsenal for an uneasy ride.
Meanwhile Chelsea face Aston Villa in their next match. They too are in a dangerous position and need as many points as possible. They have the likes of Christian Benteke, so Chelsea may have a challenge- and-a-half ahead of themselves.
So it is possible that the fight at the bottom end of the table could impact on the top end. This is the last couple of pushes for these fighting teams; for some there will be heart-ache, but who it's with depends on how prepared the London top clubs are for the matches against the premier league strugglers.

SBA to Host Free Training for Entrepreneurs Ages 50 and Older
Boise, Idaho – In April, the U.S. Small Business Administration is hosting National Mentor Month targeted at entrepreneurs over the age of 50. Building on the success of a SBA Mentor Day in October 2012, the SBA will match these "encore entrepreneurs" with successful business owners and community leaders for advice and assistance.
Mentor Month is part of a larger effort by SBA to promote entrepreneurship among individuals ages 50 and older. It will consist of events across the country that will match encore entrepreneurs with mentors who have small business experience. The events also will help connect encore entrepreneurs with mentors from SBA's network of Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs), Women's Business Centers (WBCs), and SCORE chapters who can help throughout the life of an entrepreneur's business.
With one in four individuals ages 44 to 70 interested in becoming entrepreneurs, and 63 percent of Americans planning to work during retirement, small business ownership is a good option. Small business owners with long-term counselors see bigger sales, hire more workers and have more longevity. SBA will provide the training and mentoring services older entrepreneurs need to successfully start and grow businesses and create jobs. For more information on encore entrepreneurship, go to www.sba.gov/encore.
WHO: U.S. Small Business Administration
WHAT: Free Encore Entrepreneur Mentor Training
WHEN: April 25, 2013, 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
WHERE: U.S. Small Business Administration, 380 East Parkcenter Blvd., Suite 330, Boise, Idaho

Leave the Drinking Age to the States
"The federal government should stop trying to do everything, which it doesn't do well, and start doing, and doing better, the few tasks that only it can handle,†says Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party candidate for president.
"For instance, Uncle Sam has become a nanny-state, telling us what we can eat and how old we must be to drink. More than 100 university presidents have called on Washington to reduce the drinking age of 21. Maybe they are right and maybe they are wrong, but this isn't a job for Congress. It should be the decision of the 50 states, which have very different histories, traditions, and views of such issues."Details

Maryland Head Coach Mark Turgeon
Opening statement:
"Most complete game we've played. Really happy with the way we played. We really defended. Did a great job on [Jeremy] Ingram. I thought Dez [Wells] and Nick [Faust] really were committed to guarding that kid. Coach Bino [Ranson] did a great job with the scouting report. I thought we were prepared defensively. We were deep, we were a very deep team today. Nick really helped us off the bench with 19 points, but [we] played a lot of post guys and finally figured that out. Gave everybody a chance. Charles [Mitchell] really played well today."
On improvement being as simple as one more player:
"I think it is. It gives us all confidence, it give us depth. The defense is nice. I know offensively we're going to get better as Seth [Allen] gets closer to healthy. And our post play gets better. It was good. And our rebounding, after the first five, six minutes our rebounding was terrific."
On Seth Allen's impact on the team:
"Nick [Faust] was terrific. There's less pressure on everybody. There's less pressure on Nick. There's less pressure on Dez [Wells]. There's less pressure on Jake [Layman]. All because Seth's back. Seth can score and Seth can do a lot of things. Less pressure on Roddy [Peters]. Roddy can just play and do what he does. And less pressure on our post guys, Evan [Smotrycz]. And I think it's given us all confidence. It's that simple. I think Nick's just going out and doing what he's been taught to do and he's doing it well right now. I'm really happy for him because he didn't shoot the ball well early in the season. Now he's starting to shoot it and it's really helping our team."
On the bench:
"It's amazing what the bench does to you. The two guys working the hardest in the gym yesterday were Shaq [Cleare] and Charles [Mitchell]. They stayed after and worked. Shaq didn't get as much chance as Charles did tonight, but there's competition there now instead of just giving minutes to certain guys."
On his feeling on the team:
"I like it a lot better today than I did 10 days ago. We're not looking backward, we're just looking forward. That's the whole thing. We've got such a tough schedule and a good schedule ahead of us that's in our control. Got a good Georgia Tech team coming in here. I do feel good about it. I think defensively as a coach I feel more comfortable with our team. And I know our execution is just going to keep getting better offensively as we move forward."
Junior Guard Nick Faust
On stopping Ingram:
"Coach [Turgeon] has been emphasizing a lot on locking in on the leading scorer and doing what we can to block the shots. Just defending pretty well and trying to slow [Ingram] down. So we just tried to push him to take shots and we did a great job tonight on it.
On going into conference play:
"This is definitely a confidence booster. I'm just trying to get into the groove and play the best I can to help the team. Performing well off the bench is something big for this team, so I'm glad I got that done."
On defense and offense playing off of each other:
"Today I would say I played good defense. It might have rubbed off of me playing well on offense. I'm not sure. I just try to play hard on both ends of the court."
On Seth being back:
"[Seth Allen] being back is very helpful. He's a great offensive threat and knows how to get the team going. He gets the flow of the team."
Junior Guard Dez Wells
On the defensive effort on Jeremy Ingram:
"[We just took] the same defensive principles that we take against any good scorer, just make all of his shots tough. With good scorers you're not going to be able to stop them every single play. As long as their shots are tough and they have to use a lot of energy on defense and offense to get their shots off, then that's a win for us."
On having extra depth with Seth Allen back:
"That's always good. He adds another dynamic both defensively and offensively to our team so we're just happy he's back."
On what it's like having Seth Allen and Roddy Peters on the floor at the same time:
"It spreads the floor a lot for us and it gives us an extra scorer out there. Seth can do things right now that Roddy can't do and Roddy can do things right now that Seth can't do. Having both of those guys on the floor with either Nick, me, or Jake is a very lethal combination of guards out there on the floor. Coach Turgeon does a great job with changing up the rotations and making sure everybody is in tune and in rhythm. My hat goes off to him -- he does a great job with that and Seth and Roddy do a great job finding us."
NC Central Head Coach LeVelle Moton
On his team's play:
"The first half I thought we executed, we had open shots that we just didn't make and I thought [Maryland] had a lot to do with that. They did a great job in getting their hand up in Jeremy [Ingram's] face. I told the team we can't be a fair-weather team where we only want to play hard and play defense when we make shots. "
On Ingram shooting 4 of 19:
"I don't want to discredit [Maryland]. When a guy misses shots, you've got to give the other team credit. But I've also seen Jeremy make those shots, too. When he misses free throws, it's not their defense. That's on him. He missed a couple of open looks, but that's just going to happen. He has to remain locked in and not see himself just as a scorer but as the leader of this basketball team.
On the challenge of playing Maryland:
"Anytime you come into an environment like this and play a team that is bigger, stronger and faster, it's always a great challenge. We're always up for challenges. We weren't intimidated by any stretch of the imagination. We came in here fully expecting to win. They're completely different since Seth [Allen] came back. I think it puts everyone in comfortable roles."

We get many inquiries on different ways to care for your hot tub and spa. Even though we solely sell hot tub covers and accessories for covers with our focus being on the care of the cover, we thought it would be helpful to provide a list of tips in reference to caring for your hot tub and spa.
We have gathered the answers to the most frequently asked questions in regards to caring for your hot tub and we hope it will help you enjoy your tubbing experience!
My hot tub cover smells is there any way to get rid of the smell? Yes. If your cover starts to smell bad and produce a smelly odor, you can use a mixture of ninety percent water and ten percent bleach to wipe down the bottom side of the cover. This process should remove and prevent the conditions that are producing the bad smell and odor.
My hot tub water feels oily, is there any way to clean the water from different oils that get into the water? We have found an inexpensive way to getting rid of body oils and lotions from the hot tub water. Simply put a tennis ball or two in the skimmer of the tub. The tennis balls will collect any oils and keep them from the filtration system. You will want to check the balls every now and then, and replace them once they become saturated will the oils from the water.
My hot tub water has a dirty line of scum at the water level around the inside of the hot tub, is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? The answer is yes. In order to remove and prevent the forming of a scum line at the water level, you will want to use an enzyme product on a regular basis. The enzyme products function by breaking down fatty lipids. This allows the sanitizing chemicals work better and to do their job. Using these products will also help keep the filter clean. You can find these at stores that sell chemicals for your hot tub.
I am getting ready to fill my hot tub, is there any particular way you suggest filling it? We suggest when filling your hot tub, you attach a nylon hose over the end of the hose to filter the water going into the tub. If you cannot use this method, then we suggest adding the water to the filter area so the water will have to pass through the filter before filling into the spa.
The last time I drained and re-fllled my spa the waste from the water seemed to somehow go back into the clean water. Is there any way to prevent this? Yes. We suggest that when you drain your hot tub, that you cover the lower inlets with nylon hose. This will prevent the debris from re-circulating back into the filter and the tubing system of the tub and eventually back into the clean water. The new water in the tub should be debris free if you use this method.
Is there any way I can lower my heating bill , it seems to be going up from the hot tub use? Yes, there are many ways to keep your heating bill down while enjoying your hot tub. First, check with your utility provider and find out when the off peak usage hours are. If you heat your spa during these hours, this will lower your heating bill. Another, suggestion is to make sure that your cover is not water logged, if it is replace the cover immediately. A waterlogged cover will cause a rise in your heating costs among other things. You will also want to make sure that you have the correct thickness of the cover for your climate. A cover that is too thin in a cold climate will cause rising heating costs. A thick hot tub cover will keep the heat in the spa until your next use.

Submission + - Facebook Letting Everyone See How Much Data-Center Power It Consumes (slashdot.org)
Nerval's Lobster writes: Facebook has added real-time dashboards for measuring the efficiency of its data centers' internal power and water use. Two dashboards monitor the company's Prineville, Ore. (here) and Forest City, N.C. data centers (here), measuring both the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Water Usage Effectiveness of those facilities, in addition to the ambient temperature and humidity. So far, visitors to the Prineville and Forest City dashboards only see a limited snapshot of the Facebook data: the display only covers 24 hours, and is delayed by 2.5 hours on both sites. Facebook also hasn't disclosed how many servers the data represents, which could conceivably be used by competitors to get a sense of the social network's total computing power. The company said that once its data center in Luleå, Sweden, comes online, Facebook will begin adding data from that location, as well. Although Facebook said it provided the information out of a sense of openness, the data—showing PUEs of about 1.09 for both facilities as of press time—is a bit of a boast, as well; as recently as 2011, Uptime Institute said that the average data center's PUE was approximately 1.8. So far, Facebook hasn't said whether it will provide access to the dashboards via an API, so third parties can get a better sense of how Facebook is managing power and water use over time, and through various seasons of the year.

Is This Bad Or Good For Michael Dell?
Michael Dell and Silver Lake might have won a battle against Carl Icahn moving the buyout vote from Aug. 2 to Sept. 12, but they are losing the war. Yes, Michael Dell now has more time to sway shareholder to his side. But, business experts say that with each buyout vote delay, Dell's future gets murkier, creating uncertainty among channel partners and companies.
For Michael Dell personally, the delays hurt his image as a business leader. Michael Dell went from being a 20-something "wunderkind that couldn't do anything wrong" to a 40-something struggling businessman that can't rally support to take the company that he founded private, Doggett said.

A world-renowned scientist whose research spans why locusts swarm to the dietary causes of ageing and human obesity has been appointed Academic Director of the University of Sydney's new multidisciplinary centre specialising in obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Professor Stephen Simpson is an Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow in the School of Biological Sciences and a scientific adviser to Obesity Australia.
The news of his appointment coincides with the naming of the new centre – to be known as the Charles Perkins Centre – in recognition of a visionary and outstanding graduate of the University.
University of Sydney Vice-Chancellor Dr Michael Spence said the centre would make a major contribution to health globally by researching solutions to the alarming levels of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease in Australia and worldwide.
"Charles Perkins was the first Indigenous male graduate in Australia. We have named the centre in his honour as he so clearly embodied the values that underpin this vital and innovative research project," Dr Spence said.
"Charles Perkins changed the lives of a disadvantaged group of Australians – the centre seeks to change the lives of people around the world.
"Charles Perkins showed that new approaches could change the way Australians think and act. And he sought to lead new collaborations where a single person or agency alone could not deliver the desired result."
Professor Stephen Simpson said the Charles Perkins Centre would innovate and challenge existing approaches to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
"The centre will integrate and enhance existing research across the University in an effort to address and solve the huge social and health costs arising from these metabolic diseases, which we believe can be prevented," he said.
"We are committed to improving health outcomes not just here in Australia, but around the world."
Professor Simpson's research spans locust behaviour to human health and integrates techniques and ideas from humanities, physical, medical and biological systems, including the most extensive study to date into whether calories or nutrient balance is responsible for ageing and longevity.
About the centre: To support the centre's academic program, the University is investing $385 million to build a state-of-the-art research and education facility behind the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital site. It will serve as a central research and education hub supporting the broader University network.
The centre's core strategy is a commitment to cross-disciplinary partnerships and collaborations. It supports research and education across a diverse mix of disciplines including agriculture, architecture, law, psychology, sociology and business, physics, chemistry, biomedical sciences, imaging, clinical research and health policy.
Background: Obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease are among the leading causes of mortality and disability in Australia. They account for half the deaths in Australia and are a major contributor to the increasing financial burden on health systems worldwide.
There is an urgent need to act, as these alarming statistics show:
- In 2008, 500 million adults worldwide were obese.
In Australia, more than 60 percent of adults and 25 percent of children are overweight or obese.
- By 2025, 6.9 million Australians will be obese.
- More than 220 million people worldwide have diabetes, and diabetes-related deaths are projected to double between 2005 and 2025.
- Diabetes is predicted to become the major cause of morbidity and mortality in Australia by 2016.
- Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death globally, and by 2030 almost 23.6 million people will die from stroke and heart disease.
- In Australia in 2008, cardiovascular disease was the cause of 34 percent of all deaths – more than any other illness.

2008 Volleyball
Bluffton 3, Rose-Hulman 0
Bluffton serving powers Beavers to three set win over Rose-Hulman
By: Brandy Bidlack, sports information assistant
Oct. 25, 2008
Click here for box score
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University volleyball team was ignited from the start as the Beavers rolled over the Rose-Hulman Engineers in just three sets (25-17, 25-16, 25-13) on Saturday, October 25, 2008. With the win, Bluffton improved to 15-9 overall and 3-3 in the Heartland Conference, while Rose-Hulman dropped to 18-12 with a 2-3 mark in the HCAC. The back-to-back HCAC wins over Transy and Rose-Hulman have the Beavers in excellent position to challenge for a berth in the upcoming Heartland Conference Tournament.
Freshman Nicole Wood (Tiffin/Hopewell Loudon) sparked the Bluffton hitters with 14 kills and a whopping .385 hitting percentage. Christiana Sindelar (Napoleon) pounded seven spikes, including three late in the final set as Bluffton capped the victory with a 25-13 demolition of the visitors. Fellow freshman Jenna Eshleman (Landisville, Penn./Hempfield) collected eight digs and piled up four block assists and a solo block. Freshman Heather Rodman (Mansfield/Mansfield Christian) added three block assists for Bluffton after an eight-block performance against Transylvania last night.
Sophomore Shawna Rowland (Bucyrus/Wynford) connected with her teammates for a total of 29 assists. Allison Streicher (Continental) picked up two assists and three service aces. Both Streicher and Rowland had six digs in the win over RHIT. Pacing Bluffton defensively was junior libero Brittany Roth (Findlay) who chipped in with eight digs and four service aces.
The Beavers had 37 kills, giving Bluffton a .239 team hitting percentage. Bluffton rifled 14 service aces and collected 35 digs while stuffing the Engineers at the net eight times in the contest. With the win, the Beavers greatly enhanced their chances of securing a berth in the conference tournament. Bluffton's 15 victories are the most since the Beavers went 17-16 in 2003.
Bluffton returns to action on Tuesday, Oct. 28, when the Beavers host HCAC rival Franklin. The match with the Grizzlies is slated to start at 7 PM in Founders Hall.

Bob Dylan Gets Around Service Fees & Scalpers With A Simple Plan: Pay Cash At The Door
from the that's-one-way... dept
When Bob Dylan says his just-announced, surprise show at the Warfield in San Francisco next Wednesday, August 25 costs $60, he means it costs $60 -- no service charges. No scalpers. No secondary market. In fact, perhaps as an effort to combat all complaints about the ticketing industry at large, there simply won't be any advance tickets to the show. Fans will pay $60 -- cash only -- on their way inside the venue, and that's that.Of course, the downside to this is that if too many people show up (a decent possibility) you might not get in at all... Still, it's interesting to see how musicians are trying to get around activities that are seen as anti-consumer when it comes to pricing live shows.

Sorry to disappoint most of you but this is not about Obamacare. This is about present health care insurance companies. It is true example how they operate in a free market economy with disregard to human factor.
A person that I know very well went to hospital for surgery. His insurance plan has $2,000.00 deductible.
When hospital bill came in it stated that charges were $46,000.00. Adjustments were $-10,500.
I guess that this number is what insurance co. knocked down from hospital charges, and people without insurance would be obligated to pay no matter what. Here is the kick. Insurance co. paid everything except $5,000.00.
This leaves a patient with $3,000.00 in the hole. So what is a purpose of having insurance?
The policy did not state that there will be more charges to patient than $2,000 deductible.
I know that government should not regulate private business but this is different story. I believe that
health care insurance companies should be regulated and if push comes to shove, the whole system should be change to a single payer system.

Valdosta, GA - Moody Air Force base has a roughly $450 million dollar economic impact on Lowndes County every year. But residents who border the base have become increasingly frustrated about where they live.
"It makes me feel like I fought for my country for nothing," states David Garrison. David is a Vietnam veteran who lives in the Moody Activity Zoning district, known as MAZ. His land falls right near the border of Moody Air Force Base. Dealing with the base has caused quite a headache.
David Garrison, Moody Activity Zoning District Resident: "they told me I couldn't put a fence around my house. They told me I couldn't put a garage door on the house and if the house burnt down I couldn't rebuild. And I've had my house on the market now a year and a half. And don't nobody want to buy the house because of that."
Base leaders argue these kind of restrictions are important to prevent any military operations from being shut down. But private citizens who live nextdoor in the MAZ district say it's not fair.
Lee Barnes, Moody Activity Zoning District Resident, stated, "if you want your base protected then the residents of Lowndes County need to be protected too. I'm a tax paying citizen.
Huey Moore, Moody Activity Zoning District Resident, stated, "I figure if a fella pays taxes on a piece of property he ought to be able to do with it as he pleases."
The Lowndes County Board of Commissioners Chair Ashley Paulk has spoken out in support of landowners surrounding Moody Air Force Base.
Moody Air Force Base was established in 1941. It spends more than 80 million dollars every year on local contracts.

Chinese flatscreen makers, once dismissed as second-class players in the global LCD market, are drawing envious looks from big names such as LG Display Co Ltd and Samsung Electronics Co.
While the South Korean giants were busy developing next-generation organic light emitting diode (OLED) televisions, little-known Chinese companies have started selling a type of display that is sharper than the standard LCD and cheaper than OLEDs — Say hello to ultra-high-definition (UHD) displays.
Until last year, the UHD market had been almost nonexistent, with just 33,000 sets sold in the 200 million unit LCD television market. Since then, shipments have soared about 20-fold, thanks to China, data from research firm IHS shows.
Chinese consumers who want brighter and sharper images, but cannot afford OLED screens made by LG and Samsung Display, a unit of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, are turning to UHD.
As South Korean display makers work on their response to this growing menace, Chinese UHD makers are enjoying the fattest margins in the industry.
Even cross-strait rivals Innolux Corp (群創光電) and AU Optronics Corp (友達光電) of Taiwan have joined in the fray, drawn by promises of big profits.
The risk for OLED displays is that the newcomer may become mainstream and the long-awaited cheaper OLEDs will arrive too late to displace it, analysts say.
OLEDs' long-term potential is huge as they feature ultra-high resolution and can be thin enough to conceivably be curved or even rolled up, among other things.
However, their slow introduction into the market and austere prices have thrown open a window of opportunity for UHD makers, in this case, Chinese companies like BOE Technology Group Co Ltd (京東方) and TCL Corp's LCD unit, China Star Optoelectronics Technology (華星光電).
In China, 55-inch UHD models sell for about US$1,800. By contrast, an OLED set of similar dimensions sold by Samsung costs about US$10,000.
"[I] have to admit that we hadn't fully appreciated the potential of the UHD market," LG Display chief executive Han Sang-beom said recently.
"We assumed it'll be too early for this type of display to take off and thus didn't think much of having diverse UHD product line-ups, especially in the low end, but I think we are not late just yet and we are working hard to lead the market here," Han said.
In the second quarter ended on June, Shenzhen-listed BOE Technology reported an 8.9 percent operating profit margin, while China Star Optoelectronics posted a 9.6 percent margin.
By comparison, Japanese flatscreen pioneer Sharp Corp reported a razor-thin 0.5 percent operating profit margin and LG Display, the world's No. 1 LCD maker, posted a 5.6 percent margin.
Samsung Display, a unit of Samsung Electronics, had a margin of 13 percent, the biggest in the industry. Yet excluding its fledging OLED business, its LCD margin is between 3 percent and 7 percent, according to a Bernstein Financial Services forecast.
Just as South Korea overtook flatscreen pioneer Japan in the early 2000s, the surprise offensive by Chinese flatscreen makers may be a taste of what is to come, analysts say.
Chinese UHD producers have steadily expanded their capacity. In terms of cost and technological know-how, UHD screens present lower barriers to entry compared with their OLED counterparts.
"The Chinese have done very well so far this year and their momentum is likely to continue at least for another year or so, as they have spotted the potential of this niche market well ahead of bigger rivals," said Nam Dae-jong, an analyst at Hana Daetoo Investment & Securities.
"They've got also strong captive customers: Chinese TV manufacturers and a booming China market. It will take quite a while for Samsung and LG, which made a strategic mistake by ignoring the potential of UHD, to overtake them," Nam said.
Jolted by the reality of the growing UHD market, Samsung Electronics unveiled a 110-inch UHD TV in January. Interestingly, the UHD displays were not made by Samsung Display, but were produced by AU Optronics.
"Even with some expansion of the Chinese panel suppliers, we do expect Samsung and LG Display to stay dominant and continue production in LCD," IHS director Sweta Dash said.

March 23, 2012 > Women's Softball: Bizarre play gives Ohlone 18th victory
Ohlone College Renegades softball team was back in action last Thursday. March 15 at home against Coast Conference South (CCS) foe Cabrillo College of Aptos after its long March Madness weekend. Ohlone, seeking its 10th straight Coast Conference North (CCN) Division championship under head coach, Donna Runyon, was undefeated in league play at 5-0 and 16-6 overall.Getting the start for Ohlone was sophomore southpaw, Katy Bihl from Newark Memorial High School looking for her eighth victory. After a 1, 2, 3 first inning, Cabrillo threatened in the second and third as two runners reached base each inning but Bihl was able to strand all runners.In the bottom of the third the Renegades opened with three hits; a double by sophomore center fielder, Ashley Vignola, Granada High School, Livermore, and two singles by sophomore third baseman, Kaley Marden, Washington High School and sophomore first baseman, Lauren Ermitano, Castro Valley High School for a 2-0 lead.That was all Bihl needed as she retired 14 of the last 16 batters she faced, including 10 in a row at one point. One base runner was a single to the state's leading hitter, Sierra Clark hitting over .600, whom Bihl held to 1/3 on the day and the other was a seventh inning base on balls. Bihl improved to 8-4, pitching a three-hit shutout with just one walk.A game against CCN second place College of San Mateo, 5-1 (25-3 overall) scheduled for Saturday, March 17 was postponed to Saturday, March 31 at noon on the Ohlone Campus.On Tuesday, March 20, the Renegades traveled to Saratoga for a game with CCS West Valley College Vikings. Freshman Brittany Wright, California High School, San Ramon would get the start. Wright, after starting out the season at 3-0, has been struggling as of late with her control and Coach Runyon hoped lessons with a private pitching coach may have straightened out some flaws found in her mechanics.In the first inning Ohlone had its first two hitters, freshman shortstop, Marah Nisbet, California High and Vignola reach baser on two West Valley errors but they were unable to score. Vikings' first saw the hosts load the based on two walks and a hit batsman before Wright struck out the last two hitters and keep the score tied at 0-0.Through five innings, both teams would put runners on base, Ohlone via the base hit and WV via the base on balls and hit batters, but neither could score. Finally in the sixth, after one out, Marden singled and Erimitano followed with a two-run home run for a 2-0 Renegade lead. Both teams then would go relatively quietly until the bizarre bottom of the seventh.Wright, still struggling with her control, walked the lead-off batter and No. 9 hitter, the pitcher. After an out, a Viking single put the tying runs on base and brought the go ahead and winning run to the plate. Another out brought Wright and the Renegades within one out of a shutout victory.Next up was the West Valley clean-up hitter, catcher Taylor Batey, who had reached base twice earlier after being hit and walking before striking out. With the count 3-2, two outs and two runners on base, Batey appeared to swing at ball four. However, the ball hit Batey and the plate umpire awarded Batey first base to load the bases. If a player swings at a pitch that ends up hitting the batter, the call is a strike and the batter is not awarded first base. When Ohlone asked the plate umpire to check with the base umpire whether or not the batter had swung at the ball, the base umpire said there was no swing which would have been strike 3 and the game ending out. Instead it was now bases loaded with two outs and Ohlone leading 2-0 in the bottom of the seventh.Now for the real bizarre play. Up now was first baseman Jessica Barrett who had stuck out twice and flied out earlier. Once again the count would go to 3-2 with two outs and now, bases loaded. After fouling off 2 or 3 pitches, Barrett got one down the middle and she deposited it over the center field fence for what appeared to be a walk off grand slam home run and a 4-2 West Valley win.As the base runners and batter circled the bases they were jumping up and down with sheer joy. After the first base runner crossed home plate, the second base runner jumped up into the air wanting to come down on home plate with both of her feet. However, the landing missed the plate and before she could go back and tag the plate, the third base runner stepped on home plate. This meant the third base runner had passed the second one and that is an out when a runner is passed on the bases by another runner.Now the ruling would be that the first base runner scored, the second one never touch the plate so no run, the third runner was out for passing another runner, and the fourth runner's run did not count because the out was the third out of the inning. So instead of a West Valley 4-2 win it was Ohlone 2 West Valley 1.Remaining regular season home games for Ohlone are the make-up game with San Mateo on the 31st, perennially powerful CCS San Jose City College, Tuesday, April 3, 3 p.m., CCN City College of San Francisco, Saturday, April 7, 1 p.m. and Thursday, April 12, 3 p.m. CCN rival Chabot College.
