The NeilPryde completed late on Sunday afternoon, the final day of competition, with side-offshore wind gusting over 40 knots and head to logo-high waves.
The level of sailing throughout the entire week was incredible with sailors demonstrating their versatility in a variety of conditions. As usual though, Marrawah turned it on in the end and everyone enjoyed the challenge.
With the early rounds of the single elimination completed on the second day of the event at Bluff Beach, tensions were rising on the third, fourth and fifth days as conditions didn't suit resuming the competition.
Instead, sailors had the opportunity to check out other nearby breaks including Furries and Sundowner Point where conditions were either too onshore or too small for official competition but fun riding nonetheless.
Some great free-sailing was also had on the fourth day with good waves and strong but nearly directly offshore conditions giving sailors a taste of starboard tack wavesailing in a week dominated by the more predominant port tack conditions.
Towards the end of the week, the forecast for the final day got better and better and it was soon clear the conditions would be firing most of day with a peak in the swell and wind increasing throughout the day. It was a long day for many competitors starting with the single elimination finals and then followed through to complete double eliminations for the Open and Masters divisions.
In both cases, the single elimination winner was undefeated in the double elimination and Mike Westra and Matt Cudmore claimed the titles. However, both were closely fought with Dan Berry, defending champion, beaten narrowly in the first final but unable to mount a successful comeback in the nuclear wind.
In the Masters division, Warren Holder put up an incredible challenge but didn't have the same aggressiveness and consistency that the judges saw from Matt Cudmore.
In the Womens, it was local Tasmanian sailor Marieke van Dijke who claimed the title from the other interstate competitors. Other locals John Pott and Kaleb Smith achieved great results with third and fourth places in the Open division.
Finally, in the Youth division, Newcastle duo Ben Fawkes and Travis Winter took first and second places respectively from a small field. If the event missed anything that could have made it better, more youth competitors would likely top a short list. Nonetheless, the standard of riding set by these two young sailors was great to see and obvious from their excellent results in the Open division as well.
NeilPryde international team rider, Levi Siver made a special visit to Australia for the event and enjoyed plenty of free-sailing as well as participating in a few heats. For everyone at the event, it was great to see such a high level of sailing and the full potential of the conditions exploited with such style and aggressiveness.
Levi's relaxed attitude and friendly and approachable nature was a clear hit with the competitors, many of who got a few tips and a rare insight into the sport from one of its current and future icons.

Getting Started with ECF's RFC119 Implementation
Install ECF 3.0. See ecf download.
Service Interface
As with any OSGi service, you must first define your service interface. Here is a trivial example 'hello' service interface:
package org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello; public interface IHello { public void hello(String from); }
This service is defined, along with a simple implementation, in this project in CVS
cvs: :pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvsroot/rt
modules: org.eclipse.ecf/examples/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello, org.eclipse.ecf/examples/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello.host, org.eclipse.ecf/examples/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello.consumer
Here is a project set file for these projects.
The service interface above is contained in the o.e.e.e.remoteservices.hello bundle, along with a trivial implementation (in org.eclipse.ecf.examples.remoteservices.hello.impl.Hello).
Registering the Service (Host)
Here is the code in org.eclipse.ecf.internal.examples.remoteservices.hello.host.Activator that registers a remote service with the ECF RFC119 implementation:
public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception { this.context = context; // Create R-OSGi Container IContainerManager containerManager = getContainerManagerService(); containerManager.getContainerFactory().createContainer("ecf.r_osgi.peer"); Properties props = new Properties(); // add OSGi service property indicating this props.put(REMOTE_INTERFACES, REMOTE_INTERFACES_WILDCARD); // register remote service helloRegistration = context.registerService(IHello.class.getName(), new Hello(), props); System.out.println("Host: Hello Service Registered"); }
This code does the following:
- Creates an r-osgi ECF container to do the distribution
- Sets the RFC119-specified REMOTE_INTERFACES ('osgi.remote.interfaces') service property to REMOTE_INTERFACES_WILDCARD ('*')
- Creates a new Hello instance and registers it as a remote service (via the service props).
This is sufficient to publish this hello remote service, and make it available for access by service consumers.
Using the Service (Consumer)
The service consumer first discovers the published service, and then when discovered it creates a proxy and registers the proxy in the local service registry.
Here is code from org.eclipse.ecf.internal.examples.remoteservices.hello.consumer.Activator
public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception { this.context = context; // Create R-OSGi Container IContainerManager containerManager = getContainerManagerService(); containerManager.getContainerFactory().createContainer("ecf.r_osgi.peer"); // Create service tracker to track IHello instances that are REMOTE helloServiceTracker = new ServiceTracker(context,createRemoteFilter(),this); helloServiceTracker.open(); }
Like the service host, this code also must create an R-OSGi peer container instance. Note that to switch to another/different provider (than R-OSGi), all that must be changed is the string "ecf.r_osgi.peer" in both the host and consumer.
After creating the container, a ServiceTracker is created to track the discovery and registration of remotely published services. This allows discovery to happen asynchronously, and when the remote service matching the filter returned from createRemoteFilter(), the 'serviceAdded' method will be called by the service tracker sometime after the service tracker is created. Here is the serviceAdded method:
public Object addingService(ServiceReference reference) { System.out.println("IHello service proxy being added"); IHello hello = (IHello) context.getService(reference); // Call it hello.hello(CONSUMER_NAME); System.out.println("Called hello() on proxy successfully"); return hello; }
This method:
- Gets the hello instance for the reference (which is actually a proxy)
- Calls hello() on the hello instance, just like it was a local service.
Asynchronous Remote Method Invocation
Sometimes it's desirable to invoke remote methods asynchronously, without blocking until the remote method call completes. This is sometimes desirable, for example, if your user interface thread is doing the calling, as remote methods can/could block for a much longer time than would be acceptable for users.
ECF provides an API to invoke remote methods with a guarantee that they will be executed asynchronously, in some other thread, and allowing the calling thread not to be blocked.
For ECF the value of the REMOTE property (i.e. 'osgi.remote') is a non-null instance of IRemoteService. IREmoteService provides the consumer with more flexibility in how they can remotely call methods exposed by the IHello service interface.
Here's an example that fires an asynchronous message to invoke the 'hello' method on the remote service.
IRemoteService remoteService = (IRemoteService) reference.getProperty(REMOTE); remoteService.fireAsync(new IRemoteCall() { public String getMethod() { return "hello"; } public Object[] getParameters() { return new Object[] { CONSUMER_NAME }; } public long getTimeout() { return 30000; }});
Notice that it is not necessary to have even the IHello service interface class present to use this technique.
For another example, here's code that uses the IRemoteService to return a future result. The future result is provided immediately, without blocking, and then sometime later can be accessed to either get the result (if already complete) or wait for the result to complete.
// Now get remote service reference and use asynchronous // remote invocation IRemoteService remoteService = (IRemoteService) reference.getProperty(REMOTE); // This futureExec returns immediately IFuture future = RemoteServiceHelper.futureExec(remoteService, "hello", new Object[] { CONSUMER_NAME }); // ...do other computation here... // This method blocks until a return future.get(); System.out.println("Called future.get() successfully");

LOS ANGELES — Tesla Motors, the youngest U.S. automaker, ranks in the top five brands among people surveyed by Consumer Reports, another accolade from the magazine that rates Tesla's Model S among the best cars it's ever tested.
Tesla was fifth in the poll, up from 11th last year, behind namesake brands of Toyota, Ford, and Honda as well as General Motors' Chevrolet, the Yonkers, N.Y.-based magazine said Wednesday. The results are from a December survey of 1,578 vehicle owners asked to rank brand attributes including quality, safety, value, design and technology.
"Over the last six months or so there has been a lot of visibility for that brand, a lot of media attention, so there's more awareness for consumers," said Tom Libby, an auto analyst for Polk in Southfield, Mich. Tesla's rise in the rankings "can't hurt as that is a highly respected publication that has no need to respond to any constituency."
A surge in Tesla shares began in May, after the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company led by billionaire Elon Musk reported its first quarterly profit and Consumer Reports the next day gave the $71,000 battery-powered Model S a score matching the highest ever given to any vehicle. The magazine said in November that the Model S also topped its owner satisfaction poll, amid a review of the car by U.S. regulators after two crash-related battery fires.
The brand named for inventor Nikola Tesla got 88 points in the latest survey, up from 47 last year, ranking highly for "innovation, performance, and sleek styling," Consumer Reports said. The company displaced Daimler's Mercedes-Benz, which fell to seventh from fifth last year.
Toyota widened its lead in the survey, gaining five points to 145, to place ahead of Ford, which got 120, the magazine said. Honda slipped from second to third with 109 points, down 16 from a year ago, while Chevrolet gained 13 for a total of 105 points. Subaru, the auto brand of Fuji Heavy Industries, rose to sixth in the survey with 87 points from 13th a year earlier, the magazine said.
Continued improvements for Ford and Chevrolet in the rankings bode well for those brands, Libby said.
"One isolated indicator doesn't mean that much, but as the accolades build one after the other it adds to the momentum that the changes are real," he said.
Volvo Cars, the Swedish brand owned by China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., ranked eighth, down from sixth, followed by GM's Cadillac and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG's BMW. Chrysler Group LLC's Dodge and Hyundai Motor Co.'s namesake brand both fell out of the top 10, the magazine said.
The lowest-ranked brands were Jaguar and Land Rover, British luxury lines owned by India's Tata Motors, and Fiat's Maserati, according to Consumer Reports.
Tesla is scheduled to release fourth-quarter financial results on Feb. 19. Analysts on average estimate the company will post a profit, excluding some costs, of 18 cents a share, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The net loss may narrow to $2.4 million, or 2 cents a share, while sales may more than double to $668.6 million.

About the Wait List
The Wait List function allows students to place themselves on a Wait List for a class section that is full and be given a position number. If seats become available in the class section, the wait list process will run to auto-enroll students according to their Wait List position number.
Joining a Wait List does not guarantee enrollment in a course. It is the student's responsibility to monitor their Wait List position regularly and make enrollment decisions based on that position. Students will not receive communication from Virginia Western regarding their Wait List position or any errors that occur in the process of enrolling in a class from the Wait List. Students will receive an email to their Virginia Western email account if they are enrolled in a class from the wait list. It is the student's responsibility to monitor enrollment through their MyVWCC account.
The Wait List function is not currently available for all class sections. If a class section is closed and a Wait List is available, you will see the Wait List icon () as the status for the class.
The following factors will prevent a student from using the Wait List:
- Prerequisites for the class are not met
- A negative service indicator exists on the student's record
- The student has already enrolled in the same class section
- Last date to Wait List for classes has passed
- The Wait List capacity for the class has been met
- Maximum number of Wait List units has been reached
- The class is not closed
The following factors will prevent a student from being enrolled in a class while on the Wait List:
- Adding the Wait Listed class will exceed the maximum number of units allowed for enrollment
- The student has exceeded the number of enrollment attempts for the class (repeat rule)
- The last date to enroll has passed
- The Wait Listed class presents a time scheduling conflict with another class
- The student is enrolled in another section of the same class
Students may Wait List for more than one section of the same class.
- Students cannot choose their preference for which class section they will be enrolled first. The Wait List process will enroll the student in the class section that has the first available seat. The student will then be removed from the Wait List for any other sections of the same class.
Students are not notified automatically when they have been moved (enrolled) from the Wait List to the class.
- If a student adds themselves to a Wait List, they must monitor their class schedule every morning. This is the only way to determine if they have been moved from the Wait List to the class.
- When a student has been moved from the Wait List to the class, tuition payment must be made by the tuition payment deadline.
Wait List Frequently Asked Questions (PDF)
When You Should SWAP Enrollment
If a student is already enrolled in another section of the same class for which they want to Wait List, SWAP should be used. If the student uses the Enroll/Add feature to get on a Wait List for a different section of the same class, they must Drop the section in which they are enrolled before they will be moved from the Wait List into the preferred class section. This is dependent upon a seat becoming available in the wait-listed class section.
Students may also use SWAP if there is a known time conflict between an already enrolled class section and the preferred class section they want to Wait List. If the student gets on a Wait List using the Enroll/Add feature, they will not be auto-enrolled into the wait-listed class (if a seat becomes available) until they Drop the class that presents the time conflict.
Students may want to use SWAP if they are already enrolled in the maximum number of units for the term and want to still get on a Wait List for a closed class section. If a student gets on a Wait List using the Enroll/Add feature, they will not be auto-enrolled into the wait-listed class until they Drop a class that would allow the wait-listed class to fall within the maximum number of units to be enrolled in for a term. This is dependent upon a seat becoming available in the wait-listed class section.
For instructions on using the SWAP feature, refer to Wait List – When and How to Swap Enrollment.
How to Join the Wait List
To join the wait list for a class, you must be logged into MyVWCC and inside the Student Information System.
- Click Student Center.
- In the Academics section, click the Enroll link.
- If necessary, select the correct term from the Select Term menu and click CONTINUE.
- Enter the 5-digit Class Number in the Enter Class Nbr field.

- To select a class, click Select Class.
- Click NEXT. The Enrollment Preferences page will appear with the status of the class. If the status is closed (full) and a Wait List is available, you will see the Wait List icon ().
- Click the checkbox next to Wait list if class is full and click NEXT.
- The class is placed in your shopping cart. Note that the Status of the class has the Wait List icon. Click PROCEED TO STEP 2 OF 3.
- To process your request, click FINISH ENROLLING.
- View the results for enrollment confirmations and errors. Review the message and status to determine if you were successfully added to the Wait List and your position number on the Wait List. Note that the Success icon in the Status field () does not mean that you were enrolled in the class. It means you were successfully added to the Wait List.
- To view your schedule, click MY CLASS SCHEDULE. The class's status on your class schedule will be Waiting.

A Kwaiken is very simplistic Japanese style short sword with a slim, slender profile which can be easily concealed. Carried by both the samurai men and women, it was preferred when either a Katana or Wakizashi was too large or impractical to use. The Boker Plus Kwaiken is a folding interpretation of this knife designed by Lucas Burnley out of New Mexico. It features the classic Kwaiken blade shape, sleek Micarta scales, a tight pocket clip, and a very attractive stonewashed finish. The thumb disk is very difficult to actuate right out of the box but with everything in life, just a little practice and thumb pressure to the right area finds this knife flying open extremely fast. This is due to the IKBS bearing system found on a couple CRKT knives which, for the money, is the smoothest opening system on the market. This knife may not be for everyone but it is a very well constructed tactical design with all the elegance typical of Boker designs. Check this knife out at www.knifecenter.com.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Miners posted some of the biggest gains in London on Tuesday after sector heavyweight BHP Billiton PLC reported a rise in profit, while oil firms advanced as energy prices climbed.
The FTSE 100 index UKX, -0.41% gained 0.9% to close at 6,796.43, marking a third straight day of gains.
Shares of BHP Billiton PLC UK:BLT BHP, -0.70% BHP, -0.34% advanced 1.9% after the miner said first-half profit rose as it cut spending and squeezed more from assets.
Among other mining firms, shares of Anglo American PLC AAL, -2.38% gained 2.3% and Glencore Xstrata PLC GLEN, -3.16% GLCNF, +2.22% picked up 0.4%. Metals prices were mixed.
Oil firms further helped lift the U.K. benchmark, tracking a solid rise in oil prices. Shares of BP PLC UK:BP BP, +0.78% advanced 1.5%, Royal Dutch Shell PLC RDSB, +0.19% RDS.B, -0.02% climbed 1.8% and BG Group PLC UK:BG gained 1%.
Meanwhile, the Office for National Statistics said inflation fell below the Bank of England's 2% target in January for the first time in more than four years. Annual inflation fell to 1.9% from 2% in December, easing pressure on the central bank to raise rates.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, called the current situation with strong economic growth and low inflation a "Goldilocks" scenario and said it "adds to the scope for policy makers to keep their foot on the accelerator for longer via lower interest rates to help drive a strong and more sustainable recovery."
Banks rose after the data, with shares of Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC RBS, -2.30% RBS, +1.53% gaining 2.4%, Barclays PLC BARC, -1.64% BCS, +0.81% advancing 2.1% and Standard Chartered PLC STAN, -1.45% adding 1.1%.
On a more downbeat note, shares of Centrica PLC CNA, -2.45% dropped 1.3% after UBS cut the utility firm to sell from neutral. The analysts said the company faces risks from political intervention as the Labour Party seeks to freeze energy bills in the U.K.
Outside the main index in London, shares of John Wood Group PLC UK:WG climbed 6.7% after the oil- and gas-services company posted a rise in 2013 pretax profit and said it is well positioned for the longer term.

Although unique is a much over-used word in F1, it can rightly be referred to Suzuka. Not only is the Japanese circuit the only one that crosses over itself, in a figure of eight format, but this fact means that it is also the only circuit that runs both clockwise and anti-clockwise. The grounds play host to a huge funfair, and the big wheel is prominent on the skyline.
Designed as a test track for the Honda Motor Company in 1962 by Dutchman John Hugenholtz, it was mainly used for vehicle development. After hosting numerous races in lower formulae Suzuka began its quest to host the Japanese Grand Prix, a feat it managed in 1987, when it took the honour away from Fuji, Toyota's test track. Although the grand prix returned to Fuji for 2007 and 2008 the race is now confirmed to take place at Suzuka till 2011.
An extremely fast and technical circuit, Suzuka is popular with drivers and spectators alike and has some notorious corners including Spoon Curve and 130R. The circuit closed for a year in 2008 in order to make revisions necessary for F1, it re-opened on April 12, 2009.

Stories telling how employees of the just shuttered "The News of the World" newspaper in Britain had possibly colluded with Scotland Yard in inappropriate ways, including payments to police, are just one recent troubling example of corruption in business and government. One need only Google "bribery" for plenty of other fresh examples around the world.
Ironically, Britain just put into effect July 1 a new Bribery Act that aims to clean up its ways of operating. It's the latest follow up to the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, which has had a worldwide effect by demanding that US businesses not pay bribes overseas.
The extent of global corruption is undoubtedly massive, though hard to quantify. How much more does a project cost because of invisible bribes? What worthless "white elephant" projects are approved?
Such corruption can scare away foreign investment and reduce economic growth. A corrupt country's economic growth rate can be .5 to 1 percentage points lower than that of a similar country with low corruption, according to the World Bank.
Exact figures on losses from corruption can be elusive, but from time to time some numbers have been put forward. For example, China's central bank recently estimated that more than $120 billion had been stolen by employees of government enterprises since the mid-1990s.
Now for the good news: Governments and civic activists are recognizing the need to combat bribery – and vigorously.
Governments have only to look to the streets of the Arab world where outrage over government corruption has inspired angry protests and even toppled rulers.
In the world's two most populous countries, China and India, hundreds of millions of people expect to be lifted out of their poverty through economic growth. Officials in both countries are recognizing that corruption will hold them back.
"We must create the conditions in which the people can supervise and criticize the government ... so as to prevent corruption from developing," Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said in June. "Corruption will cost the party the support and trust of the people," chimed in China's President Hu Jintao July 1, adding "We must not turn our power into an instrument for making personal gain for a handful of individuals. It is more urgent than ever for the party to impose discipline on its members."
While crackdowns in China on corruption at the local level have been tolerated – and even encouraged – in the past, what remains to be seen is whether a housecleaning can take place at the higher levels of Chinese government.
In India, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has attacked business leaders for their "ethical deficit" that could harm the nation's drive to become an economic superpower. "Our corporate culture must be attuned to the universally accepted values of good governance," he said.
No doubt this was a "pot calling the kettle black" moment, since the Indian government itself remains torn by various scandals. Still it represented an effort to recognize the destructive influence of corruption. India's Chamber of Commerce didn't disagree, itself saying that "brand India" could be damaged in the world's eyes if "brazen acts of corruption" were not addressed.
In India last year, a private group set up the website "I Paid a Bribe" in order to shed light on incidences of bribery throughout Indian society. This effort at harnessing social media has been an early success, with more than 12,000 incidents of bribery already reported on the site along with some evidence that officials are responding.
The site confirms what has long been known: At the individual level, generally it's the poor who are forced to pay bribes to those who are wealthier and more powerful.
Helped by the Internet, citizens are becoming better watchdogs. Combined with the efforts of governments, the picture is slowly brightening.
"It is heartening that so many people are ready to take a stand against corruption," Huguette Labelle, the chairwoman of Transparency International, said late last year. "This willingness must be mobilized."
At its heart, the issue is honesty. Honesty is not only the basis of good business, it's the basis of good politics, including the maintenance of harmonious relations between countries.
The path out of the world's current economic doldrums will become clearer as governments, businesses, and individuals clear away the underbrush of bribery and corruption.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Manufacturer Failed to Stop Co-Worker's Harassment of Women, Federal Agency Charges
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Rock-Tenn Company, a packaging manufacturer in Conway, Ark., will pay $160,000 to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The EEOC's suit (Civil Action No. 4:08-CV-3127) charged that Rock-Tenn violated federal anti-discrimination law when it failed to take effective action to prevent the sexual harassment of female employees by a male co-worker. Although the company investigated the complaint, the EEOC said the harassment continued. The EEOC also contended that one of the women had been forced to resign due to the ongoing harassment.
Sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
"The EEOC remains committed to aggressively pursuing remedies for victims of sexual harassment in any work setting," said Regional Attorney Faye A. Williams of the EEOC's Memphis District Office, which has jurisdiction over Arkansas, Tennessee, and certain counties in Mississippi. "No one, man or woman, should have to endure such abuse in any workplace, whether factory, farm or Wall Street brokerage firm. The women who stood up to this misconduct have seen their courage vindicated."
Pamela B. Dixon, an EEOC trial attorney, added, "Even though Rock-Tenn denied that it had violated the law, we are pleased that the parties worked cooperatively to resolve this lawsuit."
In addition to the monetary relief, the consent decree settling the suit, approved by U.S. District Judge Brian S. Miller, enjoins Rock-Tenn from further discriminating against employees at its Conway facility on the basis of sex.

Simon Cowell may appear confident as he sits behind the judge's booth on "American Idol," but he revealed he has some very dark times.
In a letter to his "shallow, reckless, cocky younger self," to celebrate his upcoming 50th birthday on October 7, Simon revealed he suffers from "black moods."
"Sometimes, when friends are over, you want to ask them to leave. You get hit by black moods and you want to be alone," he writes in the letter, printed in the U.K.'s Daily Mail on Monday.

Simon addresses the success and failures of his younger years in the lengthy note, but his revelations on his life now and the lessons he has learned, provide insight into the famed judge's personal life.
Among the revelations? Simon wrote he has "no regrets" about being a bachelor at 50.

"You never married, but you have no regrets about that," he wrote. "Family life would be a problem now. You almost never stop working, or thinking about work."
And a lesson many learned during the current global financial crisis, but one Simon learned years ago when he lost everything, "Carrying a debt is a much bigger burden than having nothing."
Another tidbit Simon gleaned from his 50 years? "Friendship is important," he wrote, noting he is still close friends with three of his ex-girlfriends.

Despite a report in the U.K.'s Mirror over the weekend that Simon is negotiating a deal worth $103 million to bring his "X-Factor" television show to America, Simon revealed he remains insecure about being on television.
"Sometimes you wonder how much longer you will stay on television because you don't ever want to be unwelcome," he wrote. "In life, you have always insisted that you had an invitation to the party and you feel the same way about being on TV. You need to feel you are welcome into people's homes, not somehow forcing your way in. If you feel that is happening, you will be off, gone."

Over the past year, we had 45 MAKE IT COUNT events in 30 different countries, with one goal; to get the most dedicated skateboarders from around the world for a life changing experience.
On August 11th, 23 finalists flew in for an all expenses paid trip to California for one week, and to compete in the global finals at Element YMCA Camp.
During that week, we went to San Diego and skated the Transworld park, hung out at Element headquarters, and had a day all to ourselves at The Berrics. In addition to skating, we hiked to the natural waterslides at Stony Creek, launched in Lake Sequoia, and saw a slew of wild animals in the Sequoia National Forest.
In the end, it was Jon Cos who took first place and a year's sponsorship from Element, while Dustin Blauvelt came in second, and Nate Greenwood finished in third. Some left with trophies and prizes, but everyone went home with something much greater; friendships were forged, and our Element family grew bigger.
an experience of a lifetime.

A New York native of Sicilian heritage, Ben Gazzara was a strongly masculine, subtly menacing screen presence with a gravelly voice that one writer described as "saloon-cured" and another said could strip paint at 50 paces.
The veteran actor, who died Friday in New York City, found fame on Broadway in the 1950s, starred in the TV series "Run for Your Life" in the 1960s and was closely identified on the big screen with independent filmmaker John Cassavetes.
The cause of death was pancreatic cancer, said his attorney Jay I. Julien. He was 81.
Ben Gazzara obituary: An obituary of actor Ben Gazzara in the Feb. 4 LATExtra section omitted the name of Danja Gazzara, his daughter, from the list of surviving family members. —
During his 60-year acting career, Gazzara appeared in more than 100 films and TV movies, including the indie films he made with writer-director Cassavetes: "Husbands," "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" and "Opening Night."
Late in life, Gazzara won an Emmy Award for his supporting role as the love interest of an aging waitress played by Gena Rowlands in the 2002 HBO drama "Hysterical Blindness."
He also received an Emmy nomination for the 1985 TV movie "An Early Frost," in which he and Rowlands played a middle-aged couple coping with the revelations that their son is gay and dying of AIDs.
Peter Bogdanovich, who directed Gazzara in two films — "Saint Jack" in 1979 and "They All Laughed" in 1981 — once described his working relationship with Gazzara as the best he'd ever had with an actor.
"Benny has the conscience of an artist, which is a rare thing," Bogdanovich told The Times in 1998.
An alumnus of the Actors Studio, Gazzara first gained notice in 1953 playing a sadistic bullying cadet at a military academy in an off-Broadway production of Calder Willingham's "End as a Man" that eventually moved to Broadway, marking Gazzara's debut there.
On Broadway in 1955, Gazzara also originated the role of Brick, the troubled, alcoholic son and husband in Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," directed by Elia Kazan. Later that year, he returned to Broadway to play junkie Johnny Pope in Michael V. Gazzo's drama "A Hatful of Rain," which garnered Gazzara a Tony Award nomination.
After making his movie debut starring in "The Strange One," the 1957 film version of "End as a Man," Gazzara resurfaced on the big screen two years later as Lee Remick's Army lieutenant husband, accused of murdering her alleged rapist, in director Otto Preminger's "Anatomy of a Murder."
On television in the 1960s, Gazzara played a police detective opposite Chuck Connors' attorney in the ABC series "Arrest and Trial." And from 1965 to 1968, Gazzara starred in "Run for Your Life," an NBC adventure series about a successful lawyer diagnosed with a terminal illness who decides to live life to the fullest in the time he has left.
"I hated it," Gazzara, who received two Emmy Award nominations for his work on the series, told the New York Daily News in 1999. "So predictable I could almost do the next show without reading the script."
The day he finished the last episode of "Run for Your Life," he ran into Cassavetes on the Universal lot. He had a passing acquaintance with the filmmaker from their days as struggling actors in New York, and Cassavetes told him that they would do a film together.
The picture was "Husbands," the 1970 drama about three suburban New York City commuters — Gazzara, Cassavetes and Peter Falk — whose lives are affected by the death of a middle-aged friend. The film received mixed reviews but led to an enduring friendship among the three actors.
Gazzara went on to star in Cassavetes' "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" in 1976 and "Opening Night" in 1977.
"John created a climate where you could do no wrong," Gazzara said in 2005 in the Times Union of Albany, N.Y. "He allowed you to surprise yourself while he talked around the characters and the action."
Rowlands, who was married to Cassavetes, recalled in 1998 in The Times: "John and Benny had a great artistic understanding, and I think Benny was relieved to find someone like John, who took things as seriously as he did."
"It breaks my heart to have this era come to an end," Rowlands said in a statement that referred to the deaths of Cassavetes in 1989, Falk last year and now Gazzara. "Ben meant so much to all of us. To our families. To John. To Peter. To have them gone now is devastating to me."
Cassavetes' death had thrown Gazzara into a deep depression.
At the time, he and his third wife, Elke, were living in Italy, where Gazzara made a number of films and where, as he once explained, "I fell in love with the lifestyle." His first two marriages — to actresses Louise Erickson and Janice Rule — ended in divorce.
In his 2004 book "In the Moment: My Life as an Actor," Gazzara described his constant womanizing and several affairs, including one with Audrey Hepburn, with whom he co-starred in "Bloodline" and "They All Laughed."
He had met the German-born Elke in South Korea in 1979 while he was filming the Korean War film "Inchon." She was producing a behind-the-scenes documentary.
"Elke saved my life," Gazzara said in 1999 in the New York Daily News. "When I met her, I was drinking too much, fooling around too much, killing myself. She put romance and hope back in my life."
In the late 1990s, Gazzara had a career renaissance and appeared in a string of films, including playing a corporate criminal in writer-director David Mamet's "The Spanish Prisoner," a wealthy pornographer in Joel and Ethan Coen's "The Big Lebowski," and a Bronx mob boss in Spike Lee's "Summer of Sam."
Gazzara credited his discovery by a young generation of independent film directors to the video release of the movies he'd made with Cassavetes.
As an actor, Gazzara told Backstage in 2006, "Nobody ever knew what to do with me because I wasn't easily pigeonholed." But he was never bitter when a coveted role went to someone else, he once told the San Francisco Chronicle.
"I don't know why," he said. "Maybe my ego, my Sicilian pride. And I was never jealous of another actor, 'cause … I knew I had the goods."
The son of Sicilian immigrants, Gazzara was born Aug. 28, 1930, in New York City into a family that struggled during the Depression.
At 13, he appeared in a play staged at the nearby Boys Club, "heard the applause and could never turn back," he later said.
After graduating from high school, he entered Manhattan's Dramatic Workshop on a scholarship and in 1951 was accepted into the prestigious Actors Studio.
Throughout his career, Gazzara periodically returned to the stage. He received a Tony nomination in 1975 for "Hughie/Duet" and another nomination in 1977 for a revival of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Gazzara is survived by Elke, his wife of 30 years; a daughter, Elizabeth; and a brother, Anthony.

End-of-life notice: American Legal Ethics Library
As of March 1, 2013, the Legal Information Institute is no longer maintaining the information in the American Legal Ethics Library. It is no longer possible for us to maintain it at a level of completeness and accuracy given its staffing needs. It is very possible that we will revive it at a future time. At this point, it is in need of a complete technological renovation and reworking of the "correspondent firm" model which successfully sustained it for many years.
Many people have contributed time and effort to the project over the years, and we would like to thank them. In particular, Roger Cramton and Peter Martin not only conceived ALEL but gave much of their own labor to it. We are also grateful to Brad Wendel for his editorial contributions, to Brian Toohey and all at Jones Day for their efforts, and to all of our correspondents and contributors. Thank you.
We regret any inconvenience.
Some portions of the collection may already be severely out of date, so please be cautious in your use of this material.
Connecticut Rules of Professional Conduct
Commentary - Rule 2.3
[1] An evaluation may be performed at the client's direction but for the primary purpose of establishing information for the benefit of third parties; for example, an opinion concerning the title of property rendered at the behest of a vendor for the information of a prospective purchaser, or at the behest of a borrower for the information of a prospective lender. In some situations, the evaluation may be required by a government agency; for example, an opinion concerning the legality of the securities registered for sale under the securities laws. In other instances, the evaluation may be required by a third person, such as a purchaser of a business.
[2] Lawyers for the government may be called upon to give a formal opinion on the legality of contemplated government agency action. In making such an evaluation, the government lawyer acts at the behest of the government as the client but for the purpose of establishing the limits of the agency's authorized activity. Such an opinion is to be distinguished from confidential legal advice given agency officials. The critical question is whether the opinion is to be made public.
[3] A legal evaluation should be distinguished from an investigation of a person with whom the lawyer does not have a client-lawyer relationship. A legal evaluation of a client should also be distinguished from a report by counsel for an insured to the insured's carrier on the status of the matter that is the subject of representation, provided the report does not contain matter that is detrimental to the client's relationship with the insurance carrier. For example, a lawyer retained by a purchaser to analyze a vendor's title to property does not have a client-lawyer relationship with the vendor. So also, an investigation into a person's affairs by a government lawyer, or by special counsel employed by the government, is not an evaluation as that term is used in this Rule. The question is whether the lawyer is retained by the person whose affairs are being examined. When the lawyer is retained by that person, the general rules concerning loyalty to client and preservation of confidences apply, which is not the case if the lawyer is retained by someone else. For this reason, it is essential to identify the person by whom the lawyer is retained. This should be made clear not only to the person under examination, but also to others to whom the results are to be made available.
Duty to Third Person
[4] When the evaluation is intended for the information or use of a third person, a legal duty to that person may or may not arise. That legal question is beyond the scope of this Rule. However, since such an evaluation involves a departure from the normal client-lawyer relationship, careful analysis of the situation is required. The lawyer must be satisfied as a matter of professional judgment that making the evaluation is compatible with other functions undertaken in behalf of the client. For example, if the lawyer is acting as advocate in defending the client against charges of fraud, it would normally be incompatible with that responsibility for the lawyer to perform an evaluation for others concerning the same or a related transaction. Assuming no such impediment is apparent, however, the lawyer should advise the client of the implications of the evaluation, particularly the lawyer's responsibilities to third persons and the duty to disseminate the findings.
Access to and Disclosure of Information
[5] The quality of an evaluation depends on the freedom and extent of the investigation upon which it is based. Ordinarily a lawyer should have whatever latitude of investigation seems necessary as a matter of professional judgment. Under some circumstances, however, the terms of the evaluation may be limited. For example, certain issues or sources may be categorically excluded, or the scope of search may be limited by time constraints or the noncooperation of persons having relevant information. Any such limitations which are material to the evaluation should be described in the report. If after a lawyer has commenced an evaluation, the client refuses to comply with the terms upon which it was understood the evaluation was to have been made, the lawyer's obligations are determined by law, having reference to the terms of the client's agreement and the surrounding circumstances.
Financial Auditors' Requests for Information
[6] When a question concerning the legal situation of a client arises at the instance of the client's financial auditor and the question is referred to the lawyer, the lawyer's response may be made in accordance with procedures recognized in the legal profession. Such a procedure is set forth in the American Bar Association Statement of Policy Regarding Lawyers' Responses to Auditors' Requests for Information, adopted in 1975.

A G.A.R. RemembrancePosted: April 18, 2011 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Civil War Leave a comment
The Springfield, Ill. State Journal-Register ran a nice recollection of Dr. Benjamin Franklin Stephenson, the founder of the G.A.R. He was honored last week at a gravesite ceremony in Petersburg, Ill., 146 years after he created the flagship support organization for Union Army veterans.
The Grand Army of the Republic, to use its full name, was a real landmark — the first and largest U.S. veterans' organization, instrumental in creating an awareness of the challenges faced by returning Civil War veterans and by survivors of the fallen. The institution of the service-based Civil War pension benefit owes quite a bit to the concerns of citizens like Stephenson, a major and regimental surgeon. (So thanks for all those pension files, Dr. Stephenson!)
At its peak, the G.A.R.'s membership was nearly half a million, with 7,000 posts throughout the country. (The last member died in 1956.) With numbers like that, it's not surprising that the G.A.R. acronym required no explanation back in the day, any more than "V.F.W." would now. Memories fade, of course. As a reporting intern, I covered the ceremonial opening of a time capsule from the 1880s, found in a building in in New Brunswick, N.J. Among the papers inside was memorabilia from the now-mysterious G.A.R.; a local historian had to explain what it was.
G.A.R. post records can be quite illuminating for researchers with Union Army veterans in their tree. This is good to keep in mind if you ever find the "G.A.R." insignia on an ancestor's tombstone.
As far as I know these records aren't collected in any centralized way, but if you know where your ancestor lived, it's worth checking into G.A.R. post history with local research societies, or with regional chapters of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War.

More Than 100 Years of God First—Azusa Pacific's History
God First since 1899. More than a century later, Azusa Pacific remains committed to the vision on which it was founded—preparing disciples and scholars to go out and make a difference in the world for Christ.
Modest Beginnings
Azusa Pacific University, one of the largest Christian universities in the nation today, began on March 3, 1899, when a group of men and women passionate about creating a place for Christian education gathered to form the Training School for Christian Workers. It became the first Bible college on the West Coast geared toward preparing men and women for ministry and service. Meeting in a modest home in Whittier, California, and led by President Mary A. Hill, the school grew to an enrollment of 12 in its first term.
The early years of growth saw the school relocate and change leadership several times. Then, following mergers with three Southern California colleges, the university relocated in 1946 to the city of Azusa, where it resides today.
Leading the Way
The mergers and early growth of the university brought great strides, as well as great challenges, and yet the focus on the school's core vision never wavered. In 1939, Cornelius P. Haggard, Th.D., became the school's 13th president.
Haggard's early years as president were fraught with adversity—enrollment was down and donations from the prior year totaled only $27. Among his many accomplishments, Haggard launched a variety of innovative fundraising efforts, including the annual Dinner Rally that continues today. He traveled the U.S. to raise resources for the school, always trusting God would provide a miracle to meet the university's needs. Haggard served for the next 36 years, achieving many significant milestones along the way.
After Haggard's death, Paul E. Sago, Ph.D., became president, serving until 1989. Among his many accomplishments, Sago encouraged the development and growth of off-site educational regional campuses throughout Southern California, and presided over the addition of master's degree programs and the development of schools within the university.
Richard E. Felix, Ph.D., became president in 1990. Felix played an instrumental role in initiating the university's first doctoral programs. He also reframed the university's values as Four Cornerstones—Christ, Scholarship, Community, and Service—and oversaw the construction of seven new buildings, a doubling of student enrollment, and the quadrupling of graduate programs.
Carrying on the Legacy
In November 2000, Jon R. Wallace, DBA, an Azusa Pacific alumnus and former student body president, assumed the role of university president. Prior to becoming president, Wallace served in numerous roles at the university, including dean of students and vice president. Known for his passion, energy, and connection with the campus community, Wallace began building upon the legacy of his predecessors and envisioning the next level of God-honoring excellence for APU. His entrepreneurial approach to management, program development, and meaningful, transformational scholarship has led the university through a period of growth, including overseeing completion of several new buildings, including the $54 million Segerstrom Science Center, the most fiscally significant project ever undertaken by the university.
Under Wallace's leadership, and working closely alongside the Office of the Provost, APU continues to advance its commitment to comprehensive, relevant scholarship through the development of rigorous academic programs and recruitment of high-caliber faculty. Most recently, graduate program offerings increased through the addition of the Online Master of Arts in Modern Art History, Theory, and Criticism and the Doctor of Nursing Practice. At the undergraduate level, the merger of several departments into the College of the Arts, as well as the new Honors College, provide students with enriched academic options. Study abroad programs have also grown with the addition of the South Africa Semester alongside more than 40 other national and international study opportunities.
Looking to the future, in 2012 Wallace announced the Shared Vision 2022 for Azusa Pacific, grounded in the following vision statement: APU will be a premier Christian university and a recognized leader in higher education, a city on a hill that reflects the life of Christ and shines the light of Truth. The vision focuses on four key components: advancing APU's Christ-centered mission, enhancing its academic reputation, continuing to value people, and pursuing financial excellence.
A Leader in Christian Higher Education
Today, APU offers 61 bachelor's degrees, 48 master's degrees, 18 certificates, 10 credentials, and 9 doctoral programs to more than 10,000 students at the university's main campus in Azusa, six regional locations, and online. The university earned a 9-year reaccreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Senior College and University Commission in 2013, and holds 13 other specialized accreditations.
The university's award-winning intercollegiate athletics program consists of 19 teams. The program won an unprecedented eight consecutive National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Directors' Cup awards before beginning provisional membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II in fall 2012, becoming a full member in 2014. APU also belongs to the Pacific West Conference in all sports except for football, which belongs to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC); women's water polo, which belongs to the Golden Coast Conference (GCC); women's swimming and diving, which belongs to the Pacific Collegiate Swim and Dive Conference (PCSC); and women's acrobatics and tumbling, which belongs to the National Collegiate Acrobatics & Tumbling Association (NCATA).
Through all this, Azusa Pacific continues advancing its core mission, preparing and graduating students who go on to make a difference in the lives of others. Learn more by watching the stories of alumni like these as they carry on that tradition while inspiring future generations.

About a year and a half ago, I mentioned a quick-draw python script that shows the amount of memory allocated to each running program, and shows you the results in a cute little table.
Well, maybe not cute. 🙄
Gabe sent an e-mail the other day with simpler, quicker perl script that does something similar, but relies only on top and some shrewd sed-like action to whittle the results down.
And those results look something like …
Mem% Cmd [num instances] 9.5 bash [5] 8.7 elinks [2] 8.3 alpine [1] 6.5 centerim [1] 4.9 ssh [2] 3.6 mc [1] 3.6 vim [1] 3.4 wyrd [1] 2.8 screen [2] 2.4 udevd [3]
With allowances given for WordPress.com's mangling of code boxes. 👿 🙄
Not exactly a mimic of the other script, but not intended to be. This shows memory percentage, but could probably be adjusted to show any of the information top allows. Rather clever, actually. 🙂
Gabe has given his permission to cut-and-paste this one, so here are the important bits:
#!/usr/bin/perl # topsum v0.1 - sum multiple instances from top to get cumulative memory usage @topsum = `top -n 1 -b`; foreach $line (@topsum) { if ($inlist == 1) { @curline = split(/\s+/,$line); $cumulativemem{$curline[-1]}[0] += $curline[-3]; ++$cumulativemem{$curline[-1]}[1]; } $inlist = 1 if ($line =~ /^\s+PID/); } print "\n\tMem%\tCmd [num instances]\n\n"; foreach (sort {$cumulativemem{$b}[0] <=> $cumulativemem{$a}[0]} keys %cumulativemem) { print "\t$cumulativemem{$_}[0]\t$_ \[$cumulativemem{$_}[1]\]\n" if ($cumulativemem{$_} > 0); ++$dummy; if ($dummy == 10) {print "\n"; last} }
The nicest part about this script? You don't need root permission to use it. A small bonus, from my perspective. 🙂

PITTSBURG, KS -- The new $16 million Pittsburg (KS) State University Student Recreation Center and Kansas National Guard Armory, which opened on Aug. 4, is experiencing increased traffic from students and faculty members since classes began on Monday.
Vince Daino, the center's director, told The Joplin (MO) Globe that he expects between 3,500 and 4,000 students a week to visit the center.
"The comment I'm getting is, 'Wow, I didn't know it was going to be like this,'" Daino told the newspaper. Daino spent 10 years as assistant director for club sports and summer camps at Purdue University before coming to Pittsburg State.
The 97,000-square-foot center has equipment, sports courts and fitness rooms on one end of the building, and classrooms, faculty offices and training areas for the National Guard throughout the rest of the space, according to the Pittsburg Morning Sun.
During the summer, Mt. Carmel Regional Medical Center donated two automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) for use at the new center. Daino had planned to purchase AEDs before he was told of the donation, the Morning Sun reported.
Students can use the facility free of charge. Faculty and staff members must purchase a membership of $100 per year.
The facility was funded by the university, the city of Pittsburg and the state of Kansas. A formal dedication of the student rec center will be held Sept. 27.

Muhlenberg Named a Top 15 College for Return on InvestmentMuhlenberg College has been ranked a top college in Pennsylvania for return on investment by AffordableCollegesOnline.org.
Tuesday, July 30, 2013 03:58 PM
AC Online recently launched a new ranking, "AC Online: Highest Return on Investment Colleges in Pennsylvania," which identifies the 81 colleges in Pennsylvania where degrees pay off the most.
Muhlenberg was ranked 13th in the state, based on return on investment, and was identified as one of the top 15 colleges where graduates enjoy the largest earnings gap between non-degree holders over 30 years.
"These are important lists for prospective students to consider," says AC Online founder Dan Schuessler. "We've sifted through comprehensive data sources to find colleges and universities in Pennsylvania that offer a high quality education with consistent, long-term payoffs in the workplace."
The colleges in the list were compiled based on the criteria of being a fully accredited four year degree-granting institution, either public or private. Students who graduate from these colleges earn more over their lifetimes, on average, than graduates from other Pennsylvania institutions.
This study acknowledges Muhlenberg as one of the top colleges where graduates will enjoy the benefits of investing in their degree in the years after graduation. The results of this quantitative study demonstrate the quality of a Muhlenberg education which is comparably affordable based on the return Muhlenberg graduates will receive.
Affordable Colleges Online provides students with information about affordable higher education options. The website offers financial aid videos, expert advice, and cost savings ideas. AC Online is a trusted resource for college stats and rankings. Most recently the site launched a feature that provides students with a categorized directory of free online introductory, or "101", classes from several top named U.S. universities such as MIT, Michigan and U.C. Berkeley.

This preface introduces the new and changed features of Oracle Security Developer Tools 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). This information is primarily useful for users who have developed applications with the tools in previous releases of Oracle Application Server, including Oracle WebLogic Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) and Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.4.0.1).
Topics in this section include:
11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Patch Set 5 provides these features:
JWT toolkit
For details, see Chapter 13, "Oracle JSON Web Token".
This document contains the following updates:
Graphics have been revised.
Documentation errata have been corrected.
The new features of Oracle Security Developer Tools include the following:
All higher level toolkits now take JCE keys and certificates as parameters instead of Oracle crypto keys and certificates.
This lets you use any JCE provider, in particular a hardware-based JCE provider.
Note:Due to this change, the 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) APIs are not compatible with pre-11g Release 1 (11.1.1). Your existing code will need to be changed to compile with 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Oracle Security Developer Tools.
Support for Web Services Security 1.1. This includes:
implementation of Kerberos and SAML 2.0 profiles
WS-i BSP conformance
Upper layers of the toolkit hierarchy that called the Oracle Security Engine now call the new JCE Provider for cryptographic functions
Figure 1-2 depicts the relationships between tools in the toolkit.
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g contains updates to most classes in the SAML2 library. The fixes fall into a few broad categories:
These include issues such as incorrectly spelled XML element or attribute names, incorrect namespace URIs, or incorrect ordering of child elements.
Many classes were outputting both a default declaration and a prefix-bound declaration for the same namespace. This causes issues for some XML parsers and SOAP implementations, which can cause XML signature verification errors in some 3rd-party SAML software.
The fixes remove the extra default namespace declarations, leaving only the prefix-bound declarations.
Some of the SAML classes needed to have a namespace prefix declared.
Many classes had both a concrete XML element type name and an
xsi:type declaration. This is redundant and confusing; only extension XML types should declare the
xsi:type of the element.
Some classes that implement XML elements with attribute of type
xsd:boolean recognized only the values "true" and "false", while the values "1" and "0" should also be allowed.

How To Avoid Boredom While Turning Your Finances Around
The worst part of cutting your expenses is also the worst part of going on a diet. Boredom. Not being able to do exactly what you want, when you want to do it is boring. "Grown up," but boring.
Trent from The Simple Dollar has some tips for avoiding ennui while saving.
Here's one that we liked:
Re-evaluate your hobbies There are a lot of enjoyable hobbies out there that don't require a fistful of cash. Read a book. Start a garden. Take a walk. Fully enjoy the DVDs/video games/CDs you already have. Teach yourself to cook. Then, focus on that hobby and really develop it – if you put in the time at any hobby, you will become more skilled at it. Since figuring out my financial situation, I've come to really enjoy cooking, something I didn't enjoy nearly as much until I decided to actually learn how to do it with some modicum of skill. Not only is it fun, virtually everything I make is cheaper than eating out.
Cooking is fun. Try making something that you usually order at a restaurant. Chances are that you can figure out how to make it, and you might even make it better than the restaurant.
Seven Tips For Avoiding Boredom During A Financial Turnaround [The Simple Dollar]

By Greg Stobart, Goal.com
LONDON - Gareth Bale scored a sensational last-minute winner as Tottenham beat rival West Ham 3-2 to move up to third in the Premier League in a thrilling encounter at Upton Park.
The Welshman took his tally for the season to 15 league goals as he slammed a 35-yards rocket into the top corner past West Ham goalkeeper Jaaskelainen, who was fantastic throughout the night.
Bale had himself put Spurs ahead in the 13th minute from the edge of the penalty area before Andy Carroll equalised with a penalty 12 minutes later.
West Ham took the lead in the second half when Joe Cole tucked the ball in to the far corner from a tight angle, but Gylfi Sigurdsson equalised from close range 14 minutes from time.
The game seemed to be heading for a draw before Bale struck at the death to move Spurs up to third place in the race for the Champions League, two points ahead of Chelsea and four points above north London rivals Arsenal.
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce made four changes to the side that lost against Aston Villa, with James Collins returning in central defense and recalls for Guy Demel, Gary O'Neil and Matt Jarvis with Mark Noble ruled out through injury.
Hugo Lloris was restored as Tottenham's goalkeeper in place of Brad Friedel as Andre Villas-Boas went for height in defense, playing Jan Vertonghen at left back with Michael Dawson and Steven Caulker paired in central defense.
Before kick off, West Ham honored Bobby Moore on the 20th anniversary of his death, the World Cup-winning captain's name rang around Upton Park during a minute's applause with the former defender's family on the touchline.
It led to a blood-and-thunder opening to the game as tackles flew in and the rival fans goaded each other on a crisp, floodnight evening in east London.
Allardyce identified Bale as the man to stop before the game, so he must have been furious with the ease in which the Welshman put Spurs ahead in the 13th minute.
Demel's lazy pass gave possession straight to Bale 25 yards from goal and the Tottenham man worked the ball on to his left foot before firing low across goal into the bottom corner.
Yet West Ham responded and drew level in the 25th minute as Carroll scored just his third goal of the season.
The on-loan Liverpool striker won the spot kick as he went down under a challenge from former Hammer Scott Parker, whose challenge was reckless despite him getting a touch on the ball. Carroll made no mistake as he rammed the ball into the top corner from 12 yards.
West Ham had goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen to thank for keeping the club in the game as he made two athletic saves either side of the break to keep out almost identical headers from Caulker.
The Finn then made a brilliant double save in the 56th minute, tipping substitute Sigurdsson's curling shot on to the post and reacting quickly to save Emmanuel Adebayor's header when the Spurs striker should have scored the rebound.
Two minutes later, the hosts took the lead. Joey O'Brien played a long pass to Cole, who stayed onside before bringing the ball down and somehow turning it into the far corner from a tight angle.
Jaaskelainen then produced more heroics with his best save of the night, touching Bale's curling effort on to the crossbar at full stretch.
Not to be upstaged, Lloris made a superb stop of his own to deny Taylor after the West Ham substitute was put through on goal by Cole's clever pass.
Fourteen minutes from time, Tottenham leveled with the scrappiest of goals. West Ham completely failed to deal with a free kick delivered from the right by Bale and after the ball pinballed around the penalty area Sigurdsson was able to scuff home from two yards.
Then as the clock ticked to 90 minutes, Bale demanded the ball in central midfielder, shifted it on to his left foot and rammed a shot into the top corner so powerful that even Jaaskelainen could do nothing. Stunning.
