Cameras, Radar, Laser, Oh My!
by David Cipolloni
Slowly but surely our every move on America's roadways are being monitored. Although it does not always rear its ugly head, the technology is there to capture our every move. We have cameras to monitor intersections and busy stretches of roadway, we have radar and laser that can record our speed.
We have onboard computer systems that now record vehicle speed, engine speed, brake application, yaw rate, steering angle, etc. All of this obviously paints a clear picture of what you were doing before your car meets with an untimely mishap. We have electronic easy pay systems that are capable of recording your entry onto the highway, and of course your exit. It's simple math to determine your average speed.
All of this is obviously done in the name of safety. We will be safer if Big Brother can monitor our every move and punish us accordingly. Is this ok, and will motorists just come to accept it? A number of years ago here in NJ the police would implement rolling roadblocks. This was done when the speed limit was 55 and folks were going too fast, using up too much fossil fuel, and endangering the motoring public.
After massive traffic jams snarled our highways the procedure was discontinued. Big Brother needs to find another way of controlling our moves. All one has to do is look at a few horrific traffic accidents and it becomes clear we need safety on our roadways.
With the age of computers upon us the government will be able to monitor and control drivers moves. Electronics now control our braking systems, and in some cases even the steering system. How long before the black boxes will be able to stop and steer us to safety. Won't that be nice? Instead of sliding on the ice and crashing headlong into a bridge abutment the car will take over control, remove the stupidity, and steer you to safety.
Maybe at some point it will be fun to try and make the car crash, only to have the car override our moronic inputs and put us back on course. I can hear the automated voice warning me now – "I'm sorry driver I cannot progress at the rate of speed you have requested." Mashing the accelerator will simply generate a polite response from the car that it cannot meet your request.
Think you're going to hit that exit ramp with a good head of steam? Think again, the car will know your position (GPS) and know where you are heading, and know you cannot exit at the speed you are traveling. "Pardon me driver we cannot exit at this speed."
Just think how much safer everyone will be. Here in NJ we have a law that one must wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. There was even a law a few years ago about how your eggs must be cooked, runny eggs are much too dangerous. Maybe there will be a law soon about running with scissors. We just can't be too safe you know. Why would we intentionally put ourselves in an unsafe predicament if there is a way of avoiding it?
We all want to be safe, and want our loved ones to be safe also. Big
Brother is simply meeting our needs. Maybe the whole transportation system
will eventually morph into a public mass transit system, with the only
accidents being caused by computer glitches.
If your car can drive better than you can are you ready to give up
control? Just think of all the things you could get done while your car
deals with traffic, detours, weather conditions, etc. Why bother yourself
with tedious repetitive motions in order to arrive at your destination. For
fun we can sit in a simulator that allows us to drive, it will remind us of
how poor our skills are.
It seems as cars get better at what they do, we might be getting worse at
what we do. I keep a couple of old muscle cars in the stable, and an old
Ferrari. When I take these old cars out for a spin it reminds me of the
skills I need to possess in order to drive them well. The muscle cars can get
you into trouble quickly, gobs of power and limited handling and braking,
it's a volatile mix.
We don't blaze trails out west on horseback anymore, we get on an airplane and complain about the food as we watch a movie. The blazing part wasn't easy, and it sure could be dangerous, but it was blazing, and it did touch on the inherent human desire for adventure.

An elegant city with a discreet charm. One of the most significant attractions is the Basilica of St. Anthony,
but Padua's artistic and cultural heritage can be discovered in every corner of the historical centre.
Erudite Padua. Its University, one of the oldest in Europe, had the exceptional professor, Galileo Galilei, among its staff in 1492. A few years later in 1501, Copernicus - the father of one of the greatest scientific revolutions - enrolled at the university.
Religious Padua. The Basilica of St. Anthony is a highly important place of worship where every year thousands of pilgrims arrive to revere the remains of the world's most loved Saint.
There are just two sides of a city that preserves intact the charm of a millenarian history, from the Palaeovenetian to the Most Serene Republic (Repubblica Serenissima).
Padua is wonderful to visit calmly without hurry, walking around the streets in the centre, admiring the architectural jewels that have enriched the city over time.
These are jewels of Romanesque, Renaissance, and Neo-classical art.
Above all there is the Cappella degli Scrovegni, which preserves one of the most important fresco cycles by Giotto within its walls, realized between 1305 and 1306. It has recently been restored.
There is also the celebrated Palazzo della Ragione; once the judicial and administrative centre of the city, today it is an exhibition centre. In addition there is the Prato della Valle. It is enchanting due to its elliptic shape, its vastness (it is one of the largest squares in Europe at a surface area of 90,000 m2), and for the emotions that it causes with its central greenery and the 78 statues surrounding it. The historical Caffè Pedrocchi is the symbol of Padua's cultural and commercial life. It is a neo-classical building where one can enjoyably spend a special evening or simply admire its splendid rooms.
It is however impossible to note all of Padua's beauty. During the day, it pleases the visitors with its vibrancy by means of its busy streets and squares. At nighttime, it takes on a more romantic and evocative character.
A city that knows how to recount beautiful stories, all you need to do is listen.

Carl "CJ" Johnson is the protagonist in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Carl "CJ" Johnson, born in Los Santos, San Andreas, is one of the leading members of the Grove Street Families, along with his brother, Sean "Sweet" Johnson. Sweet suggested that CJ was born in the Johnson House, a two floor home at a Grove Street cul-de-sac in Ganton, Los Santos. After the death of his younger brother, Brian, Carl escaped the pressures of gang life and moved to Liberty City in 1987, where he had the opportunity of working with Don Salvatore Leone's son, Joey Leone in the car theft business, and is once seen mugging a passer-by on the streets in Liberty City. GTA San Andreas begins with CJ's return to Los Santos upon the death of his mother. It is supposed that CJ has been based on various well-known rappers such as Dr. Dre. This supposition is highly unlikely.
In 1992, CJ receives a phone call from Sweet on the death of his mother and returns to Los Santos, only to be confronted by members of C.R.A.S.H., consisting of officers Frank Tenpenny, Eddie Pulaski and Jimmy Hernandez. Throughout the storyline, CJ is forced to work for C.R.A.S.H., after learning that he has been framed by the organization for the murder of an Internal Affairs police officer called Ralph Pendelbury, whom C.R.A.S.H. members had also silenced to prevent him from exposing the team's activities. Interestingly, CJ's appearance at the beginning of the game is similar to Chris Tucker's character in the film "Money Talks".
Early in the game, CJ aids all the senior members in reviving the Grove Street Families, by killing crack dealers in the neighborhood, acquiring firearms and regaining gang territory. Carl also does some work for C.R.A.S.H. to keep Tenpenny off his back. Due to Carl's work, Grove Street is nearly brought back to it's feet. However, all the effort comes to an end when Varrios Los Aztecas leader and close friend, Cesar Vialpando calls CJ and they find out that two of the senior Grove Street members, Ryder and Big Smoke, have betrayed the gang to change side with the Ballas and C.R.A.S.H., while Sweet is ambushed and wounded by rival Ballas gang members in a shootout under the Mulholland Intersection. This leads to Sweet being arrested by the police. CJ manages to save Sweet from dying but is also arrested once the police raid the scene. CJ and Sweet's arrests also leads to the downfall of the Grove Street Families as well as Cesar's Varrios Los Aztecas which results in total domination of Los Santos by the Ballas and Los Santos Vagos.
C.R.A.S.H. releases CJ from being arrested in order to perform another job for them. They leave CJ in Whetstone to eliminate a witness against them. CJ, later on, starts committing a series of robberies along with Catalina, Cesar Vialpando's cousin, the heist targets include a betting shop, a liquor store, a gas station and a small town bank. CJ meets Triad leader Wu Zi Mu "Woozie" during a street race and aging hippie The Truth through Tenpenny. Catalina ditches CJ for her next boyfriend, Claude, and in another street race CJ beats them, gaining the deed to Claude's run down garage in Doherty, San Fierro. Carl prepares to leave the Badlands after helping The Truth burn down his cannabis crops because of the police discovering the farm.
Once CJ arrives in San Fierro with Cesar, The Truth and Kendl, he discovers that the garage he won from Claude is completely useless. Due to Kendl and The Truth's suggestions, he hires Dwaine, Jethro and Zero to work in the garage. CJ re-encounters Woozie in San Fierro and he explains, after a little recon, who the drug dealing organization, the Loco Syndicate are. Woozie hires CJ to help him sort things out with the Triads' enemies, the Da Nang Boys. CJ infiltrates the Syndicate through one of the members, Jizzy B and assists T-Bone Mendez and Mike Toreno run their drugs in an attempt to learn about a big deal between them and the Ballas. After gaining trust from the group, Carl kills Jizzy, then Mendez and apparently Toreno as well as former friend Ryder in a big shootout down at Pier 69. CJ, later, blows up Big Smoke's huge crack factory in Doherty. CJ succeeds in making his garage into a successful business and illegal car shop with the help of Cesar and his friends. After sorting everything out in San Fierro, CJ receives an anonymous phone call from a man using a voice distortion, who offers a way to release Sweet from jail, CJ then travels to the desert, to a ranch in the middle of Tierra Robada.
Upon arriving at the ranch in Tierra Robada, CJ discovers it's Mike Toreno who called him there, and he believes Toreno will kill him, so CJ doesn't let Toreno explain himself, Toreno snaps and in a fit of rage yells out he isn't a drug dealer, but a government agent. Toreno has CJ to buy the abandoned airstrip, Verdant Meadows, near Las Venturas and orders him to perform near impossible tasks, such as shooting down FBI helicopters from a plateau to protect a drop off chopper, dropping goods from an airplane to Toreno's helpers in Angel Pine while flying below the radar level and riding a motorbike into an airplane and setting off a bomb inside it after jumping off the plane in a parachute. After this, Toreno leaves CJ without fulfilling his promise of having Sweet released. An angered CJ then decides to sabotage Toreno by pulling jobs for The Truth, like robbing a jetpack from Area 69 and stealing some green goo from a government train. After finishing the jobs for The Truth, Wu Zi Mu calls CJ to his casino, The Four Dragons Casino in Las Venturas.
Upon arriving in Las Venturas, CJ gets a share of Woozie's new casino, The Four Dragons Casino, and helps Woozie deal with the Mafia Families trying to sabotage the casino. He starts planning a heist on the Mafia-run Caligula's Palace along with Woozie. To do this, CJ starts working for Salvatore Leone, even taking a short trip to Liberty City, for his trust and easy access to the casino. While planning the heist, CJ saves the life of rapper Madd Dogg, partly because he had sabotaged the rapper's career to launch OG Loc's. After saving his life, CJ becomes Madd Dogg's new manager. In the process, CJ helps Ken Rosenberg, Kent Paul and Maccer fake their deaths so they can stop working for Salvatore Leone. Finally, CJ retrieves a dossier for Frank Tenpenny, witnesses the murder of C.R.A.S.H. agent Jimmy Hernandez and kills another C.R.A.S.H. agent, Eddie Pulaski. After CJ and the Triads pull the heist, Carl flies back to Los Santos and helps Madd Dogg take back his mansion from Big Poppa and Los Santos Vagos.
When CJ gets back to Los Santos, he helps Madd Dogg get back his rhyme book from OG Loc and also helps him start his career again. While CJ is listening to Madd Dogg rapping at the studio, Mike Toreno hacks into the house's P.A. system and tells CJ about a final job. Toreno says the job is very easy and reveals that the task is to sneak into a military ship, steal a Hydra assault plane, and use it to blow up four spy ships. After pulling the job, Mike leaves Carl to take care of the plane. Later on, Toreno returns to CJ and asks him for a "final job", CJ then snaps and puts a gun against Toreno's head. Toreno calmly tells CJ that he's "embarrassing himself" and mentions a "surprise". The phone rings and CJ answers, it's Sweet and he has been released from prison and the final job was actually to pick him up.
However, with Sweet returning to the neighborhood, CJ once again, though reluctantly, is forced by Sweet to rebuild the Grove Street Families' dominance in the city, and witnesses a city wide riot sparked after Frank Tenpenny was acquitted of corruption charges in court. To wrap up all loose ends in his life, CJ would finally confront and kill Big Smoke, before pursuing Tenpenny, who would die in a car crash in front of the Johnson House. In front of the dead and broken man, CJ prepares to shoot Tenpenny's corpse with his gun, but Sweet stops him. CJ says that he "just wants to make sure it's over", but Sweet decides that it is safer to not leave evidence. He then leaves Tenpenny with the words "See you around... officer."
After the riot breaks up, Madd Dogg visits the Johnson house with an announcement that he's received a golden record for his new album. Everyone inside then decides to keep a low profile with everything that they've accomplished. CJ himself then gets up and leaves the house only to get a prank call from Catalina who is heard having sex with her boyfriend, Claude.
Carl Johnson is the son of Beverly Johnson (deceased). He is the second-oldest Johnson sibling. The oldest is his brother, Sean (Sweet). The youngest is his other brother, Brian (deceased), and the second-youngest is Kendl. Nothing is known about their father, although in "The Introduction", CJ mentions that he never met his father. CJ does not have any living direct relatives other than Sean and Kendl.
CJ is markedly different from the previous playable characters in the Grand Theft Auto series. While Claude and Tommy Vercetti are both depicted as completely heartless and feeling no regret for all of the people that they kill, CJ is depicted as having a considerably less violent personality, occasionally giving his victims a chance to redeem themselves. An example is his failed attempt at convincing Eddie Pulaski to see that he was no more than Tenpenny's pawn. Furthermore, CJ displays genuine remorse for having to kill fellow Grove Street friends Ryder and Big Smoke, who he considered close friends. However, CJ still has no problem with killing members of other gangs, and willfully slaughters any that get in his way of reclaiming Grove Street Families turf or try to sabotage his businesses.
CJ was voiced by Chris Bellard, known as Young Maylay. Some say he bears a striking resemblance to Dr. Dre, though this is debatable. Rumors circulated the internet for a while that Dave Chappelle was supposed to voice CJ, but these were most likely just wishful thoughts on the part of Chappelle's fans.

Bosnia and Herzegovina
major macro economic indicators
|2018 (e)
|2019 (f)
|GDP growth (%)
|Inflation (yearly average, %)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(e): Estimate. (f): Forecast.
- IMF financial assistance
- Large transfers from expatriate workers
- Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the EU with pre-accession funds
- Potential for tourism (11% of employment and 9.6% of GDP) and hydroelectricity, which already accounts for 34% of electricity produced
- Institutional, regulatory, ethnic, economic and regulatory fragmentation
- Lack of public investment (transport, education, health)
- Low diversity and low value added of exports
- Inappropriate targeting of social protection
- Large informal sector, low labour force participation (43%) and high youth unemployment
Risk assessment
Activity supported by consumption
Despite a low-quality institutional and political environment, economic activity is expected to remain strong in 2019. Higher wages, strong remittances from expatriates (9% of GDP), and more visitors from neighbouring countries are set to increase revenues, boosting household consumption. Reported employment will likely increase as the informal sector shrinks and jobs are created across all sectors. Credit will continue to grow vigorously, with doubtful loans (9% of outstanding loans) declining further. Retail trade will benefit from this positive trajectory. Conversely, exports of ores, wood, metals, chemicals, and footwear could slow as their main markets cool. However, agri-food and electricity sales stand to benefit from trade liberalisation with the EU and Russia. Public investment in infrastructure and administration will depend on the IMF releasing additional financing under the ECF, and, in turn, on the EU (€315 million over 2018-2020) and the EBRD (€700 million over 2018-2020 in partnership with the private sector). Payment of these funds is conditional on progress in implementing the Reform Agenda adopted in 2015, but also on institutional and administrative performances. This money will boost construction by supporting continued construction of the Corridor Vc motorway, which will cross the country between the Croatian border in the north and the Adriatic, as well as in the energy sector. Private investment, both domestic and foreign, will remain modest as low labour costs fail to offset persistent institutional weaknesses and a mediocre business environment.
Public accounts are in adequate shape, but the current account deficit is high
Bosnia-Herzegovina is expected to continue loosening fiscal policy slightly, while maintaining a balanced budget in 2019. Revenues, a 40% share of which is attributable to VAT, represent 43% of GDP and are growing in line with activity. Salary expenditures are contained, although this is less true for the Serbian entity. This balance, along with moderate growth, will be sufficient to stabilise the share of the country's modest public debt, which is mainly denominated in euros (86%) and the local currency, the mark, which is pegged to the euro. Foreign creditors, half of which are multilateral public bodies, hold 68% of this debt. The debt is divided roughly equally between the country's constituent Bosnian-Croat and Serb entities, but, taking into account the respective GDPs, the Serbian public debt is higher (60% of GDP). While the public accounts look to be in acceptable shape, the way that their management is fragmented between the central government and the two entities, the future cost of pension and health systems and poor governance at state-owned companies could cause nasty surprises going forward.
The current account deficit may widen further in 2019. However, the trade deficit is expected to fall below a quarter of GDP. Expatriate remittances and the services surplus (7% of GDP) related to tourism and transport will, as usual, partially offset the trade deficit. International financing and FDI (2% of GDP) will help to bring the balance of payments into equilibrium, while maintaining foreign exchange reserves at the comfortable level of seven months of imports. Despite the reduction in bank debt, external debt accounts for 53% of GDP, divided equally between public and private debtors.
Ethnic divisions and the coexistence of three governments
The 1995 Dayton Agreements divided Bosnia and Herzegovina into two distinct autonomous entities: the Bosnian (Muslim) and Croat-dominated federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Serb Republic of Bosnia, plus the district of Brčko managed by the central government. The central government is led by a collective presidency representing the three "constituent peoples", which rotates every eight months. The constitution assigns very few powers to the central government, which is responsible for foreign and monetary policy, customs duties, VAT, transport and defence. Even these powers are difficult to manage, since each ethnic component has a blocking minority in the central Parliament. Muslim Bosnians are trying to strengthen the role of the central government, while Croats, who want their own autonomous entity, and Serbs, who are tempted to join Serbia, hope to derail the legislative processes. The October 2018 presidential and parliamentary elections again played out along ethnic lines, putting nationalist parties in control of the assemblies. The only surprise came when Zeljko Komsic of the Democratic Front beat his rival Dragan Covic of the Croatian Nationalist Party (HDZ) to win the position reserved for Croats in the collective presidency. Lengthy negotiations are expected to be required to form government coalitions, which will slow down the adoption of reforms needed for the resumption of multilateral financing and the process of applying to join the EU. The country's institutional complexity does not make it any easier to deal with judicial deficiencies, regulatory disparities, corruption, oppressiveness and low administrative efficiency.

Chinese New Year in Liverpool Part 2
Following on from my previous post with some of the film photographs I took during the Chinese new year celebrations in Liverpool, here are some of my digital photos from the same day.
Following on from my previous post with some of the film photographs I took during the Chinese new year celebrations in Liverpool, here are some of my digital photos from the same day.
Liverpool's main Chinese new year celebrations were held yesterday to celebrate the year of the horse and I was there with my wife and our 2-year old daughter. As usual, there were the various performance events dotted around Chinatown, the fairground rides, food and paraphernalia stalls and the scheduled outdoor performances which seem to attract every DSLR owner within a 30-mile radius.
As a child, I used to love the celebrations especially the firecrackers and dancing lions. As an adult, I've been more interested in them from a photographic point of view. Camera-clad, I was initially attracted to getting the big, close-up, frame filling action shots, but after a couple of years the constant battle with the crowds was getting somewhat tiresome. It was turning into something out of 300 with the Spartans felling wave after wave of the Persian army albeit with slightly less blood and guts.
Now, as a parent I'm once again seeing things from a fresh (yet old) perspective. Everything's exciting again as our daughter gets to experience it all for the first time (from up close, at least). To slightly skew an old saying it's like seeing things with a new lens 😉
Knowing the pace was going to be fast and the lighting tricky with a bright sky and low winter sun, I had my Nikon D800 with me to make sure I got the shots I wanted, but I also took my Leica M6 with my only remaining compatible lens; the Voigtlander 35mm f/1.4 SC. I did have a Zeiss 50mm f/2 Planar for a couple of years and whilst it was a contrasty, sharp and technically excellent lens it didn't have the same level of character as the Voigtlander so I sold it on. Maybe, if I feel the need for a 50mm in the future I'll stay in the Voigtlander stable.
At times, focussing the M6 into sun was virtually impossible as the firecracker smoke reduced contrast dramatically. That said, with bright sunlight and ISO 400 film I was able to use a fairly narrow aperture meaning I could be a bit more relaxed about focussing. Metering with subjects that would be constantly flipping from front-lit to back-lit was a pain, but Superia 400 was pleasantly forgiving. So much so that at times I didn't even check exposure or focussing. It really was a case of f/8 and being there!
I only got the chance to shoot a single roll of film. Here's a few of my favourites from it. Developed at Boots, scanned at home.

Will be a short post considering I'm disappointed in this team for letting this game get out of hand & plenty could have been done about it.
Tebow... oh Tebow... clearly he is still trying to work some stuff out. Plenty of the offense's troubles are on him in this game but quite a few of his passes were very catchable & that goes on the receivers. Those incompletes make Tebow look worse than he really is.
The line still has yet to give Tebow good protection. Orlando Franklin showed his rookie side several times, letting Dlinemen get to Tebow. The line is also to blame for 7 sacks. Granted Tebow needs to get better at reading when to throw the ball away or not, but 7 sacks is unacceptable. It's ridiculous, especially for the second week in a row. 14 sacks in 2 weeks... that's insane!
The offense had more than enough penalties to set us back. 5 for 55 yards... the whole offense needs help, not just Tebow. All 5 may not be on the offense but I know at least 3 of them were.
Tebow can't run this thing all by himself. His receivers, the line & the RBs have got to help him out & do their part. We also had 5 fumbles, 2 were lost. This is one game I will forget very quickly.
The only parts I care to remember was the very first drive when we should've had a TD. Decker was SO close to having that touchdown. I think had we got that score to start the game, it would've been a different more productive game for our offense. I think it would have boosted Tebow's confidence enough to have done better the rest of the game than he did.
Patience is THE key word with #15.
Tebow had a real bad day with 18/39 for 179 yards, 1 TD & 1 INT. Those 179 yards is pretty good considering how many incomplete passes he threw. The touchdown was an impressive one too.
Knowshon Moreno lead in rushing yards with 14 carries for 69 yards.
Eric Decker led the receiving corps with 6 catches for 72 yards & Denver's only touchdown late in the 4th quarter.
Eddie Royal was also seen more in this game with 6 catches for 41 yards.
I'd say they started out well but 45 points is overkill. 6 of those belong to our offense off Tebow's first INT of the year but our deficit is still sickening to watch.
Stafford had a fun day with our defense putting up 267 passing yards on them, easily.
For a while our D held down the fort sending Detroit back to their sidelines multiple times on quick 3 & outs but those good drives our defense quickly fizzled out when Detroit began their rally of putting points on us in OUR house for heaven's sake.
And the big match-up of Champ vs. Calvin Johnson ended up in Johnson's favor for the most part. Champ wasn't covering Johnson for a good portion of the game so the match-up came down to rookie undrafted FA Chris Harris getting beat on the routes he was set to cover.
But even respected vets like Champ & Dawkins got beat several times, getting faked out or just bad timing & reads.
Overall, horrible game for Denver. Now the Broncos face 2 HUGE games against 2 very hated rivals in their territory, the much hated Raiders & then the Chiefs.
Both places are tough stadiums to play in, tough crowds to play in front of. I almost shutter to think what will happen to us in these next 2 games.
Definitely not making a bet with my raider fan friend... no way man, not doing that again, no sir............
Playcalling has got to change. The awesome John Lynch was one of the commentators during the game & he made several points about what needs to be done with Tebow and it came back to the playcalling while he's on the field.
Each QB is different & with Tebow the playcalling should be different than it was with Orton. And besides that point, it needs to change. Whatever they are doing out there, its clearly not working; not getting us anywhere. Coach Fox needs to seriously re-evaluate his playbook with Tebow in the picture, if they start him again, and base that calling on Tebow's abilities but also give him calls to work with & that will help him to get better, more productive & improve.
Like John Lynch said, "they have to give the guy a chance in order for him to improve". Even Lynch believes in Tebow, he sees potential in #15 but Tebow also needs a coach that believes in him. I don't think Coach Fox really does, which is hurting him more.
We all know we have bigger problems beyond who's at QB or not. Tebow can only do so much. This TEAM has got to start playing like one.
The Lions definitely came to play today, something the Broncos showed no sign of. Both offensively & defensively, Detroit earned that win. Tastes like vinegar in my mouth saying that....... bleh....
More of a shame we lose like this in our own house. No excuse for that or the way we played.
Tebow to Decker for late 4th qtr TD
Here's to hoping for a MUCH better game with more passion & fight against Oakland.

MILWAUKEE, Wisc. – While the NBA and its players battle it out in CBA talks, former VCU standout and current Milwaukee Buck, Larry Sanders knows that he's secure when the league starts back up.
On Thursday afternoon, the Bucks announced that they exercised Sanders' third-year option, as well as picking up the fourth-year option on All-Star point guard Brandon Jennings.
"The lock out news is never good, but I'm happy that when things get settled, I'm secure with the Bucks for a while," Sanders said. "I really like our team and am excited to be able to get back to playing when a settlement is reached."
The Fort Pierce, Fla. native was the 15th overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft by the Bucks, marking the highest selection ever by a Ram.
During his debut season in the NBA, Sanders played in 60 games, earning 12 starts. He averaged 4.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. He ranked fifth in the league in blocks per 48 minutes with a 3.96 average.
His best game of the year came on Dec. 1 when he posted a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, as well as blocking eight shots.
While with the Black & Gold, Sanders aided the Rams to 75 wins, two regular-season championships and one CAA Tournament championship during his three seasons.
He was a two-time All-CAA honoree and won back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year awards in 2008-09 and 2009-10.
Sanders departed VCU after scoring 1,044 points, 776 rebounds (fourth all-time), 277 blocks (second all-time) and 28 double-doubles (third all-time).

Sailing + Cruising Performance = Pure Joy
The J/97E is a pure sailing boat. Fast, easy to sail, and comfortable. With a family crew, J/97E can cruise anywhere with unparalleled ease in sumptuous accommodations. That is a given. What is not is the fact that underneath that exotic, sinfully luxurious interior you see above is a pure thoroughbred-- the unbridled, raw power of a Ferrari 12-cylinder engine rumbling to a roar to blast you around the track while you relax in Rolls-Royce Ultra-Leather comfort and relish Jaguar-like silkeness in the S-turns-- a rare combination, indeed.
Below is a report from Paul Heys that explains how this exotic animal can breath life into your casual evening beer can races or weekend jaunts offshore. As Paul explains,
"The annual JPMorgan Asset Management Round the Island Race, organized by the Island Sailing Club, is one of the most popular fixtures on the Solent racing calendar. Competitors come from Europe and the USA, as well as all over the UK, to race the 50 mile course round the Isle of Wight. This year the event attracted 1779 entrants (and no that's not a typo!) with J/80, J/105 & J/109 classes and many larger J's. The team from J/UK brought out the new J/97 'Jenga' for her debut regatta in the 55 boat IRC Division 3A. By race end, the J/97 had finished second on elapsed and corrected time in class and was the top J/Boat overall on IRC corrected time.
Tactically we found the Solent difficult, as the breeze was localized, so twice we swapped sides which we normally don't like to do, however the extra pressure appeared to be worth the chase. We discovered that we had not made a perfect job of this, as when we arrived at the Needles, we found ourselves in the company of a Sigma 33 and a Hunter Impala, two slower boats that had started at the same time.
Rounding the Needles we hoisted the code 2 and immediately goosewinged to punch straight into the tide, which would now be against us for the full 25 miles of the run. The wind tends to follow the coast when in this direction so there was at no point, any bow up spinnaker reaching, instead we ran deep the whole way, we used a mixture of goose winging and normal 165 true sailing trying not to gybe out into the stronger foul tide and utilizing the inshore back eddies. The breeze was between 10 and 18 knots. We passed many boats on the run and only a couple passed us. The Leeward mark at Bembridge was a massive park up of over 500 boats as two opposing winds cancelled each other out. We could see 122's and 133's in front of us and saw lots of boats we had passed piling in behind us, so it became a major restart.

Stocks Post Another Loss on Retail Sales
