I know I am a little late for this as it is not Saturday, but Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings has suggested we write a Genealogy Clerihew as part of his Saturday Night Genealogy Fun series.
It seems that a "clerihew" is a four line irregular poem or verse which follows an AABB rhyming scheme and it has been named for the birthday of the inventor Edmund Clerihew Bentley who was also known as a writer and poet. (More can be read about this at Jim Smith's A Genealogy Hunt blog).
Randy asks us to add a post to our blog, or comment on his blog about our attempts at writing a Genealogy Clerihew!!
I have to warn you that I really am not a poet, and while I have had a look at some of the other GeneaBloggers' own Clerihews (actually really very good), I somehow think my attempt is completely wrong from what it should be like. But hey, I'm giving it a go and at the very least my attempts should cause some laughs!! 😉
And for those of you that know me and know of my great preoccupation with my 6 x great grandfather Cozens Read, this attempt had to be about him!!
Here goes: A Genealogy Clerihew – "Ode To Cozens Read"
For ten long years I searched the Baptism of Cozens Read,
Now it's the same for his Mum so of him I plead,
Can you give me a sign please to show the parents of Elizabeth Cosens,
And hopefully that will take me back many more years by the dozens!

Oh dear, not a very good attempt I feel, but I did try to do it quickly!!

Tuning up the Crystal Symphonyby Laura Q. Hughes
|Crystal Symphony
Because Crystal Cruises has a highly anticipated new ship under construction, it becomes all the more important to keep the line's two existing vessels up to the line's five-star standard. When Crystal Serenity joins the Crystal fleet in June 2003, sister ships Crystal Symphony and Crystal Harmony will be eight and 13 years older than the new arrival, respectively. But Crystal is regularly renovating, upgrading and tweaking those two 960-passenger ships to keep them looking as fresh and contemporary as many other companies' new vessels.
Last November, Crystal Symphony entered a 10-day dry-dock for a substantial overhaul, overseen by ship architects Tillberg Design of Ft. Lauderdale. They supervised renovations all over the ship--in its two Crystal Penthouse suites, the lobby and Jade Garden Asian restaurant, while other fabrics, decking, marble and floors were cleaned, polished or replaced. I got a chance to see the results on an early January cruise, and Crystal Symphony was shining just as brightly then as she was on my two previous sailings, in 1999 and 2000.
The facelift to the ship's two 982-square-foot Crystal Penthouses made them resemble the already-refurbished penthouses on sister ship Crystal Harmony. The penthouses' new look is lavish and residential, with hand-tufted carpets, upholstered walls, dark wood furniture, silk and satin sofas and fringed pillows. Some new decor touches give the impression of a decadent drawing room, including residential lighting, original artwork and framed prints. Also added was an entertainment center with stereo, DVD and 35-inch flat screen television.
The very layout of a Crystal Penthouse is in itself luxurious: Guests have a bath-and-a-half, sitting room, dining area, master suite, walk-in closet and 174-square-foot private verandah. Luxury has a price to match: The 2002 brochure rates for a 12-night European cruise are as high as $27,050 per person, based on double occupancy in a Crystal Penthouse. Nonetheless, these top suites sell out early on most Crystal sailings--so it's little wonder that the company is doubling the number of them on the next ship.
When Crystal upgraded the ship's lobby, called the Crystal Cove and Plaza, all the furnishings were changed but the atmosphere was maintained. Passengers entering the space will still be surrounded by soothing grey and blue fabrics, a curving marble and glass staircase and waterfall. But there's a contemporary touch now. Carpeting with colorful, geometric shapes runs through the room, and clusters of Italian-designed leather seats make for intimate conversation spots. Sheer and metallic drapes frame the picture windows.
This two-story public space serves as the ship's crossroads, and on my voyage it became a popular location for taking a formal portrait, and a comfortable lounge where passengers could linger before they entered the adjacent dining room. The Crystal Cove is also set up as the lobby bar, complete with a translucent grand piano, but on my sailing, more passengers spent time socializing over cocktails in the ship's more intimate, wood-paneled Avenue Saloon than in the Cove.
The work also included major changes to Jade Garden, one of the Symphony's two alternative restaurants. Fans of the arching footbridge that previously graced the restaurant's entrance will have to travel to a restaurant in California to see it now. Jade Garden's new appearance is spare and sleek, with blonde wood paneling, Asian artwork framed in bamboo, and brightly patterned upholstery, menus and dishware.
Jade Garden's kitchen serves up dishes based on many Asian nations' cuisine, and the staff will happily prepare a tasting menu with a small sampling of everything. If you want to dine at Jade, or the lovely Italian alternative restaurant Prego, make reservations in person with the maitre d' early on the first day of your cruise. The wait to make a reservation took more than an hour on the first day of my sailing, but it was worth it to obtain a table for the night and time my party was hoping for. Demand for these two alternative restaurants is pretty high, partly because Crystal's dining rooms have a two-seating policy with assigned tables--unlike many other luxury ships that offer open seating dining. So passengers who want more flexibility in their dining mates, times and venues have to turn to the two restaurants, in-cabin dining, or casual poolside dining that is now available several nights a cruise.
Less sweeping changes were made to other rooms on Crystal Symphony during November's renovation, including new upholstery and slate flooring in the indoor/outdoor Lido buffet, and new saunas and steam rooms in the spa. (During a renovation in 2000, the spa underwent a more extensive renovation that applied the principles of Feng Shui.)
Crystal's multi-million dollar renovation succeeded in making the Symphony seem younger than her seven years. And if many of the changes did little to alter the ship's character, that's probably a good thing too. After all, more than half of the 800-plus passengers on my cruise were Crystal repeaters, many of the single seniors knew the dance hosts by name from previous sailings, and some staff members and passengers seemed to be reuniting like childhood friends. With this level of client dedication, it's best to keep the tinkering to a minimum.

Tammy Kelly offers tips for making chunky chowders more nutritious
Chowders are known as one of the first foods served at a community meal, but are best known as a good reason for a social gathering.
Originating in France in the early 1750s, chowders are named after a chaudiere, or three-legged cauldron used by fishermen to make fresh stews upon return from sea fishing trips. What makes the best chowder is debatable, but you can bet on finding some of the best in Eastern North Carolina.
My title is not a mistake; I did say �healthy� chowder � especially clam chowder. Clams pack more iron than the amount found in beef liver; have significant amounts of vitamin B12, selenium, potassium, omega-3 fatty acids, and decent amounts of vitamins A and E; and overall are a great source of nutrition and health benefits.
Traditionally, chowder contains seafood, but these days it can be any thick, rich soup with chunks of ingredients. Potatoes, onions, milk or cream, flour and clams are common but not mandatory. Corn chowders are almost as popular now as clam chowders.
To try some of the best Eastern N.C. chowders, take in the Sixth Annual Chowder Cook-Off from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. March 16 in Oriental. Tickets are $8, with 15 entries to sample. Guess who gets to be a lucky judge?
Manhattan Clam Chowder
31 ounces clams, canned (choose fresh if available)
4 slices bacon, chopped
3 celery stalks, diced
1 medium onion, diced
3 medium carrots, diced (about 10 oz.)
1 large russet potato, peeled and diced
1 large jalape�o pepper, seeded & diced (optional)
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, (optional)
29 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
1 quart V8 juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 cup American parsley, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon thyme, fresh
Separate and reserve the juice (about 1 quart) from the clams.
Heat chopped bacon in a large stock pot on medium-high until browned, removing and reserving bacon pieces.
Saut� celery, onion, carrots, potato and jalape�o pepper in the bacon fat for about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Cook for 3 minutes and stir in clam juice. Add tomatoes, V8 and lemon juices, parsley, bay leaves and thyme.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Clam Chowder Makeover
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrot
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 strips bacon (4 ounces), chopped
1/4 cup flour
3 cups low-fat (1 percent) milk
1 1/2 pounds red thin-skinned potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks
4 cans (6.5 ounces each) chopped clams, drained
2 bottles (8 ounces each) clam juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 to 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup half-and-half
Heat oil in a 5- to 6-quart pot over medium heat. Cook onion, celery, carrot and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a plate.
Cook bacon in pan until crisp. Drain on paper towels; discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings. Add flour and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly browned, about 1 minute. Slowly add milk, whisking constantly and letting mixture bubble between additions. Add potatoes, clams, juice, salt, pepper and reserved vegetables.
Simmer about 25 minutes. Add thyme and half-and-half. Sprinkle with bacon.
Chunky Fish and Shrimp Chowder
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, thawed if frozen
1 pound grouper fillets, thawed if frozen
1 pound tilapia fillets, thawed if frozen
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups chopped onion
10 cloves garlic, diced
7 cups peeled, cubed potatoes
3 carrots, sliced
2 zucchinis, sliced
1 cup canned sweet corn kernels, drained
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 quarts water, or as needed to cover
2 cups skim milk
1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut cream (not cream of coconut), or to taste
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour, or as needed (optional)
Mix lemon juice, basil, 1 tablespoon onion powder and salt in a large bowl; toss the shrimp, grouper and tilapia in the marinade. Remove fish fillets and allow shrimp to continue to marinate.
Cook grouper and tilapia fillets in 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat about 3 minutes, just until outsides are white. Remove with a slotted spoon. Cook shrimp until firm and white on the outside, 3 to 5 minutes, sprinkling with black pepper and 1 more tablespoon onion powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large soup pot; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is translucent and beginning to brown. Transfer shrimp to the pot and mix in potatoes, carrots, zucchinis, sweet corn and cilantro. Stir in water to cover and bring soup to a boil; simmer over medium-low heat about 30 minutes.
Stir in skim milk and coconut cream. Gently mix in grouper and tilapia fillets, bring all to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until fish are no longer translucent and break apart into chunks, about 10 more minutes.
For a thicker chowder, scoop about 1/2 cup of soup into a small bowl and whisk in whole wheat flour until smooth. Stir into the chowder and simmer about 5 more minutes. Makes 10 servings.

I'll admit I had a crush on Holly Kaiser, but only in sixth grade. And seventh. Seventh was real bad, actually. But by eighth, shoot, I was over her. Or not. No, I wasn't, actually. I liked her a lot.
Ninth too.
And tenth. But only for part of the year! The part when I was at school and saw her. But not during summer, you bet; no, I didn't like her that summer. Unless I thought about her. But I only thought about her every other day. And it always hurt.
Holly and I were friends, and she made sure it stayed that way. I never directly suggested we be more than that, but I would hint at it during all of her phone calls when she'd talk about how her boyfriend was such a jerk, and why can't she find a nice guy like me? I told her I was a nice guy like me. She giggled in a way that kicked me in the nuts.
Junior year had started, and the banners were up for homecoming dance. I derided the event as a festival for jocks and sluts, decried the football game as group masturbation, and condemned the court as a collection of Barbies and Kens, dressed in formalwear to mock the other 99% of us.
"Go with me," she suggested one day on the softball field bench. She hacked at a cigarette with a dull jackknife.
I had a Little Debbie Star Crunch in my mouth and could not communicate other than to furrow my brow. It gave me an excuse to just look at her beautiful face through a shock of dyed crimson hair that hung to her chin. I chewed slowly and finally swallowed. "Go where, now?"
"To Homecoming. Let's go to the dance." She was serious. She looked up at me with a half-smile, her naturally pouting lower lip begging to be kissed. She turned back to the cigarette and sawed.
For a moment, I allowed my curiosity to trump my excitement. "What are you doing?"
"I don't want the filter on it," she grunted, sawing with gusto, her 19th-century-inspired shoe acting as a workbench. She smelled of lavender and vanilla, which contrasted with her humor. She looked at me and smiled broadly. "I wanna DIE!" she laughed heartily. Her grin melted me.
I gripped the primitive wooden bench tightly and wondered if she was screwing with me about the Homecoming thing. I noticed a vague sensation that my heart was sweating. "You mean it?"
"No," she reassured me sweetly, like a mother convincing a child no monsters are in the closet. "I don't wanna die yet."
I bit my lip. "No, I mean…Homecoming?"
"Oh, yeah. Shoot, yeah. We should go. It'd be fun." She struggled to strike a match in the breeze as her mangled Marlboro dangled from her red lips. "Let me take you. I'll pick you up."
My head spun in ecstasy. I didn't stop to consider her motivations, her casual indifference, or the years of strict friendship. All I could see was her and myself on a date—not just a date, but Homecoming Dance!
During the couple weeks between her proposal and the big night, my mom guided me through what I needed to do to make it an acceptable formal dance experience. I nervously made reservations at Brann's, a so-so steakhouse in the Polock section of town; I bought a corsage from Holly's uncle's flower shop, but was too nervous to tell the guy I was taking his niece; I broke out a new Gillette Sensor blade and bought a huge can of Aqua Net—the one with "20% more free!" As always, she would decide how special the night would be. I hoped it would be special, at least.
I strolled into the family room Saturday night looking handsome. "Wow!" my mom exaggerated. "Look at you!" Though I was on the verge of outgrowing my only suit, a pinstripe poly blend that rode up my crotch, it did make me look sophisticated enough to be a mobster. I carefully coiffed my hair to look like Morrissey, my rock hero. I studied the picture of him above my mirror and did not stop spraying Aqua Net until I could shake my head vigorously without a single hair drooping. The crunchy brunette pompadour looked exquisite; if nothing else, I was in love with myself. I strangled myself with a skinny black tie Scotch-taped to my dress shirt.
A rumbling not unlike a tank made its way up the cul-de-sac. "Is that her?" Mom asked, peeking out the picture window.
"Christ! Needs a muffler!" Dad boomed, shoving his hand into his Levi's comfort-jeans pocket. He pulled out a money clip and flipped through a stack of tens with the adroitness of a bank teller. "Here, Elvis." He slapped a fat wad of cash in my hand. "Spend it all. Don't be a Hollander in front of her." He patted my butt and pushed me out the front door, the bills still in my right hand, her corsage in the left.
Holly was a vision. She stood alongside a butterscotch 1974 Dodge Dart, the undercarriage belching gray smoke. "Hi!" She wore a black and deep blue gown, her dainty, stockinged legs were showing, but not in the least bit provocatively. Curls of burgundy and black cascaded down her slender neck—a milk-white neck that defined femininity. The rest of her hair was bunched up into a bouquet atop her head, flowers of curls falling here and there. She grabbed the passenger's door handle, pushed the thumb release with both her thumbs, and, knees bent, pried the door open with a grunt. The door swung open, making a grating squeal I felt in my bones. "Take a seat!" Her lips framed a perfectly imperfect, pearl-white smile. Her nose twitched above it.
As I sunk into the poking springs of my seat, I coughed heavily. She sat down and laboriously shifted into reverse. I wanted to tell her how beautiful she looked, but I couldn't take an adequate breath. "Better roll down your window, Kris. You'll get asphyxiated." I did as she said. As long as we traveled faster than 10 mph, the air was fine.
"You look so handsome!" she cried above the engine.
I dismissed her, though I believed her.
"No, really. Wow. You're hot!"
I swallowed hard. "You look nice too. I love your dress."
I raised my voice: "I love your dress!"
"Thanks! I made it!"
Her industriousness made me fall just a bit more in love. The smell of lavender and vanilla and tobacco spun my head around (though it could have been the exhaust). Whatever was happening, I was in deep now.
At a stop sign, she took a moment to light a cigarette. She struck a match and the breeze from the window blew it out. "Shoot."
"Are we gonna blow up?" I asked. It made her laugh, but I was half-serious. I didn't know where these fumes came from. The car coughed and sputtered, so she stamped on the accelerator with her delicate black pump. The engine roared while she finally succeeded in lighting her Marlboro. She held it close to my face, and I shrunk away a bit. "Don't start! It'll kill ya," she warned.
"Yeah, you wouldn't want to do anything to hurt your lungs." I hacked affectedly and swept my arms around to disperse the invisible exhaust we were enjoying. She laughed, coughed in actuality, and floored the accelerator.
Though the restaurant was virtually empty, the hostess shoved us in a dark nook with another Homecoming couple. We exchanged small talk till the waitress came. Remembering Dad's advice, I found the priciest hunk of meat on the menu and ordered it loudly, so Holly would know I was a big spender and she could get anything she wanted. She squeaked out that she wanted a glass of water. The waitress collected the menus and trotted off.
"You're not hungry?"
"Not really," she shrugged. She read the consternation on my face. "Is that a problem?"
Hell yes it was a problem! This was the big night where I was going to show her what a big-shot I was. She'd see that her boyfriend was an asshole, that I was the real thing all along, and she needed to be with me.
"No, no." I shook my head. "Just, if you want something, I have a lot of money. I want to spend it on you." I accidentally showed my frustration. "You're making me look like a Hollander."
"You're embarrassed?" she asked, surprised. I was surprised myself. This fancy-dinner crap was the sort of thing I loathed. She was being beautifully non-conformist, but I hated her for it tonight. She motioned her eyes to the couple next to us. "You care what they think?"
"No," I whispered in the fashion my parents did when they had a public "discussion." I didn't know how to tell her I was embarrassed in front of her, and in front of myself. The hunk of meat came, and I kept making comments about how I didn't want to eat by myself. I made us both uncomfortable. I was blowing it. The waitress asked if I wanted to take the remaining two-thirds with me in a Styrofoam box. I said no.
We drove in awkward silence from the restaurant to the high school. It was a beautiful evening, the sun shining in rays. I wanted desperately to break the hold my mood had on me, but it hung around me like the noxious exhaust fumes in Holly's car.
"You should've taken your steak," she sang. "I think it would've made a great boutonniere."
I smiled.
"'Hey,'" she continued in her best guy-voice. "'What's that on yer coat? Meat? Shit…looks good!'"
I laughed. "Maybe the vice principal would want a bite."
"Oh, you know it. They'd all be lining up to eat your meat!"
That one broke us out into loud laughs. Our natural chemistry came back; we smiled, joked, and left any ill feeling behind us. It seemed like it would be a good night after all.
All eyes fell on us as we entered the school. Half of the stares were inspired by surprise that Holly and I could clean up so well and look "normal," like the rest of them. But the other half were inspired by her beauty. Holly carried a loveliness that crazed me, and I figured I couldn't be the only one. She had the sweet strangeness of a Tim Burton movie. Her delicate features were framed by smooth skin; a ruddiness brought out her cheeks, and her eyes smiled brightly when her lips did the same. When she had a straight face, she looked fragile and lost. A part of me wanted to lock her away like Rapunzel, high in a tower so no other greasy jerk could touch or hurt her.
I reveled in the stares, but they made her uneasy.
We stood awkwardly, unsure what to do. I made small talk with a few geeks I knew from classes. Holly stood, uncomfortable, preoccupied with something. The geeks left, and there we stood, silently. I searched for the right thing to say, and just when I thought I had something, I turned to her, opened my mouth—
"I want to go," she said.
My heart dislodged from its natural spot and dropped into my stomach like a stone. I swear I heard a splash.
"Go?!" I gasped, looking at my Swatch watch. We'd been there exactly twelve minutes.
She stared out the window into the bright courtyard. "I need to see my boyfriend."
Inside my head, inside my heart, I picked up a chair and threw it. I smashed my fist into the geeks' faces, tipped over the punch table, got on the PA and told all the kids to go to hell. Inside my soul, I burned down the school, ran into the woods, curled up in a ball and dissolved into the brown and orange autumn leaves.
But in reality, I replied stonily, "OK."
She finally looked at me. "You're not mad?"
"No. Hell no. Why would I want to stay here with all these phonies? It's OK." I took a few steps to the door, hoping she'd change her mind. Her little black pumps tapped out a tattoo of heartbreak as she caught up.
On the short ride home, she asked repeatedly if I was OK, and I kept saying I was.
She parked in the middle of the cul-de-sac and left the car running. She pushed upon her door, walked around to my side as I watched, confused. Then, with both hands again, she pulled mightily on the passenger's door handle.
I pushed with my elbow, and the door loudly creaked open. I stepped out of the car and into her arms, the fumes swirling around our feet like a fairy-tale fog. The hug was friendly, sincere, and slightly sterile. "You're sure you're not mad, now?" she asked for the final time.
What was I supposed to say, anyway? The truth was, however, that I was not mad. I really loved her and wanted what she wanted. She wanted to see her boyfriend. "Naw. I'm all right."
I stepped back a few feet and beheld the full vista: Holly, the dark angel, in her homemade gown, her uncle's shop's corsage on her wrist, white fingers cradling a pack of Marlboros. The Dodge Dart belched smoke behind her. I saw her lips form words.
"I said, 'Thanks!'" she shouted.
I nodded and trudged up my driveway. When I made it to my front step, I turned around, surprised she hadn't peeled off to be with the kid I didn't really know but hated. Maybe, I thought, she changed her mind. Maybe she wanted me to come back to her, get in the car, and dance the night away at Homecoming '89.
Nope. She was just lighting a cigarette.
The sun was just setting behind the naked trees of the woods along Louise Street as I heard her car trail off. Strangely, I didn't feel too bad. My parents and friends were confused by my willingness to forgive her—by the absence of vexation. I may not have turned our friendship into more-than-friendship, like I thought I wanted, but I still had something strangely (if not perversely) satisfying: total, sweetly desperate, nearly unbearable adoration. She was part of me, and I adored her completely.
But remember, I only adored her in sixth grade. And seventh…

THE CALIFORNIA SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSPARENCY ACT OF 2010 - SB 657 Disclosure
The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 took effect on January 1, 2012 with the goal of ensuring that companies provide consumers with information regarding their efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their supply chains. CamelBak supports this goal and expects its suppliers and manufacturers to uphold fundamental labor and human rights standards in the workplace.
The products we build come from supply chains around the globe. CamelBak manufactures products in our wholly-owned ISO-certified factory, as well as with time-tested supply and manufacturing partners (each a "Supplier" and collectively the "Suppliers"). While foreign laws and regulations govern working conditions for overseas Suppliers, we also expect them to comply with our own Code of Conduct, which specifically outlines policies against any type of slave labor, human trafficking, child labor, forced or indentured slavery and any other form of discrimination. We employ the following policies and procedures to implement our Code of Conduct and uphold our zero tolerance policy toward slavery and human trafficking:
- Our contracts specify that Suppliers must comply with our Code of Conduct in order to do business with CamelBak, and we require a senior level executive of the Supplier to sign a form acknowledging such compliance. Suppliers failing to meet our Code of Conduct would be in breach of our agreement. We also maintain on-site staff with certain Suppliers, and members of our in-house staff regularly visit Supplier locations to verify compliance and monitor production and working conditions. Our Code of Conduct is posted at large overseas Supplier locations, both in English and in the native country language. Employees of Suppliers are given access to an anonymous tip line (that is also available to CamelBak employees) to allow for reporting of violations of the Code of Conduct. We take human rights violations seriously, and CamelBak reserves the right to terminate its business relationship with any Supplier that violates our Code of Conduct.
- CamelBak utilizes an industry-recognized third party service to conduct thorough audits of overseas Suppliers, announced or un-announced, to observe and verify labor practices and compliance with our Code of Conduct. These visits include monitoring of labor documentation, health and safety issues, fire and regulation standards and confidential personal interviews with Supplier employees. Annual audit results are reviewed by the Sourcing Department and the Vice President of Operations. Any failures are addressed directly with the factory and corrective action measures taken based on the audit results. CamelBak reserves the right to terminate its business relationship with any Supplier that has failed to comply, regulate or improve health, safety, human rights or violations of any kind.
- CamelBak requires Suppliers to certify that they have completed an online training course on the subject of human trafficking as provided by the US Department of Homeland security to ensure that they understand what human trafficking is, how to recognize it, and what steps to take in the event of a violation. Suppliers are also required to share this training with their supply chain partners to ensure compliance throughout the supply chain. CamelBak requires Suppliers to certify that materials incorporated into our products comply with the laws regarding human trafficking and slavery of the country or countries in which they are doing business.
- CamelBak maintains internal accountability standards and procedures for our employees and contractors in our Code of Conduct. All CamelBak employees receive training on our Code of Conduct. Failure by an employee or contractor to follow the standards set forth in the Code of Conduct may subject such person to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
- All CamelBak employees with direct responsibility for supply chain management undergo an online training course on trafficking and forced labor issues provided by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

Oil on canvas by Alessandro Giorgetti.
|120 cm
|180 cm
Alessandro Giorgetti was born in Messina (Italy) in august 1970.
A musician father and an inner artistic nature, carry him to search his vocation in the art. Self-taught, his artistic path was marked by the abstract paintings of Rothko. His paintings as well as the abstract expressionism, induces him to start a new path in which he can explore the use of colors and his expressive strength, and where the spectator's sight has infinitive possibility of interpretation.
The most peculiar characteristic of Giorgetti's art might be the the double signature both up and down on the canvas. Giorgetti took the idea from a funny story about a Rothko's painting, accidentally hanged upside down. From that moment the sicilian artist decides to give the opportunity to his collectors to decide by themselves how see his works.
Giorgetti is famous for his original projects that create a network, an ideal link between all of his collectors. One of them is the Qubo & Sides.
He has a long career in the art world, and he took part to several internetional and national expositions. Recent Personal exhibitions:
2000 - Galleria vittorio Emanuele – Schizzi all'aperto - MESSINA
2001 - Galleria vittorio Emanuele – Schizzi all'aperto - MESSINA

It's time for the annual procession of all things carb: potatoes [1], rolls, cranberry molds, all manner of desserts. Thanksgiving, however, needn't be a salivating stare down with the spuds [2]. The subject du jour: how you plan to handle the holiday. Primal types seem to fall into two camps when it comes to these occasions. Some say every day is a Primal day, and they go about preparing their Thanksgiving feast the way they do every other meal. If they're visiting for the holiday, they selectively forage and might even bring a Primal dish of their own (to share or relish alone). Others take a looser approach, balancing the value of family traditions with their Primal interests to forge a reasonable compromise for the day. There's plenty of room under the Primal tent for both good, old-fashioned moderation and rock solid resoluteness, I'd say. Let's take a closer look.
The "Taking 20" Approach
Yes, there's the 80/20 Principle [3] to consider here, and it plays out a little differently for everyone. Some folks stay pretty much fully Primal throughout the year but make their exceptions on special occasions like holidays and other celebrations. The thinking here is, "It's only one day. I'll have my stuffing and then go back to normal life the next day. No biggie." Although I'm not advocating inhaling the Thanksgiving pie [4] all by yourself, I understand the sense of making a moderate concession for the holiday. Every once in a while I'll take that approach myself. Chalk it up to convenience or nostalgia, but Thanksgiving does only come once a year. Your family may have very meaningful traditions that you enjoy participating in, or you might just reserve a special place in your heart/stomach for a certain annual dish [5]. Some folks will even consider the day a strategic carb-refeeding [6] opportunity. My suggestion is to gauge where you're at in your Primal journey. Beginners or those interested in weight loss might have a harder time traversing the route of moderation. After all, you don't want a momentary compromise to derail your progress [7]. However, if you feel you can enjoy it and then return to your Primal track the next day none the worse for the wear, go ahead and partake.
The "Stickin' to Your Guns" Approach
Of all the days in the year, this can be the most difficult to navigate. Particularly if you're spending the day with family [8] or cooking with a non-Primal partner [9], your commitment can get some blowback even if it's "tolerated" the rest of the year. Rest assured: you're not a stick in the mud or a killjoy. It's entirely your right to eat the way you want to on Thanksgiving just like it is every other day. You might choose to explain your reasoning (once again), or you might just try to lay low and avoid the subject for the day. (Comments/anecdotes, anyone?) In the interest of keeping peace and harmony, however, there are plenty of ways to politely turn down the un-Primal fare [10] on the table.
The truth is, there are plenty of ways to make your holiday fully Primal – or any degree between. Whether you're hosting or visiting, I invite you to look back at our most popular Thanksgiving recipes. They'll truly an indulgent way to stay on track this holiday, and they're proof once again that eating Primal doesn't mean sacrificing taste.
Make It a Primal Thanksgiving! [11]
Turkey Time: Recipes for Thanksgiving Leftovers [12]
Heritage Turkey and Mashed Parsnips [13]
Share your delicacies and you might even win over some converts!
However you choose to approach the holiday this week, know that it's ultimately about owning your choice. Gorging with the delusion that a carb binge [15] won't have any repercussions isn't exactly taking responsibility, but neither is seething at the holiday spread while swearing off a mere shadow of a carbohydrate.
The decision itself doesn't matter as much as the spirit and knowledge behind it. Make your own, fully informed, entirely unapologetic choice and relish the holiday for all its worth [16]!
Now it's your turn. Good readers, what say you? Will you be invoking the Primal compromise or planning a fully Primal holiday? Vote and comment below.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Mary Altaffer / AP
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, right, and running mate Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., made one final stop in Cleveland on Election Day, but to no avail. President Barack Obama held Ohio and won re-election, according to NBC projections.
In the final week of the long presidential election campaign, Republican candidate Mitt Romney lavished advertising time and personal visits on three Midwestern states: Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa.
He fell short in all three states Tuesday, a failure that scuttled his chances of winning the White House.
In Ohio, where Obama held a narrow two-point margin, almost two of five voters said someone in their household had been laid off in the past four years. Yet Romney could do no better than manage a split with Obama among those voters, according to NBC exit poll data.
Only three out of 10 Ohio voters said their family's financial situation was worse than it was four years ago. Romney won those voters by better than a 5-to-1 margin, but there weren't enough of them for him to carry the state.
And Obama was boosted in the state by the 24-point advantage he enjoyed among labor union households, about a fifth of the Ohio electorate. The two rivals split the non-union vote almost evenly, with Romney winning 50 percent and Obama 48 percent.
Obama also benefited from his role in the bailout of the auto industry, a decision that had been sharply questioned by Romney.
Based on exit polls, three out of five Ohio voters approved federal aid to the automakers. Those who approved of the bailout voted for Obama by a 3-to-1 margin.
Even as Romney was losing the state, 10 House Republican incumbents in Ohio were headed for re-election, so the outcome in the state didn't reflect a broad anti-Republican backlash but more specific factors that doomed Romney.
Likewise in Iowa Romney lost even as two House GOP incumbents -- Reps. Steve King and Tom Latham -- won expensive, hotly contested races.
In Iowa the gender gap worked even more dramatically to Romney's disadvantage than elsewhere, with nearly 60 percent of Iowa's women voters rejecting Romney – compared with 55 percent in the national exit poll sample. Romney was also hurt in Iowa by the perception that his policies would favor the rich – an idea that 54 percent of Iowa voters agreed with. Among that group, Obama won by better than 7 to 1.
Finally in Wisconsin, Romney fell short, even with native son Rep. Paul Ryan on the ticket. Romney had good reason to hope Wisconsin would flip into the GOP column, especially after Republican Gov. Scott Walker was elected in 2010, battled successfully to curb the power of public sector labor unions, and then triumphed in a recall election last year.
But Romney won a favorability rating of only 46 percent in Wisconsin, lagging Walker's by 10 points.
Union households accounted for about a fifth of the Wisconsin electorate and Obama won their vote by about 2-to-1, based on exit polls. The candidates split the non-union vote in Wisconsin.
And as in Ohio the Wisconsin voters who favored the federal bailout of GM and Chrysler backed Obama over Romney, 79 to 20 percent.

Box Score Utica 40, St. Lawrence 7 - Final
Utica, NY (9/1/12) – The Utica College football team compiled 508 yards of total offense, and the Pioneer defense held visiting St. Lawrence to just seven points, as UC downed the Saints 40-7 in the season-opener at Charles A. Gaetano Stadium Saturday night. 2,653 fans turned out to watch the Pioneers win their fourth consecutive season opener, including their third straight win on the Time Warner Cable Sports Television Network.
"This is a great way for us to start the season against a quality opponent. We were able to put it together on both sides of the ball tonight and that's a testament to the hard work our student-athletes and staff put into training camp," said fifth year Head Coach Blaise Faggiano. "I thought we played well on offense and I was particularly happy to see our defense step up to the plate and perform like we know we are capable of."
Senior quarterback Andrew Benkwitt put on a good show in his 31st consecutive start as he completed 20-of-36
The Utica defense held the Saints to 286 yards of total offense and it allowed just one second quarter touchdown. Junior transfer Joe Giametta led UC with 14 tackles, while seven other Pioneers recorded at least four tackles.
Peel scored on runs of two and three yards on two straight UC drives to help the Pioneers take a 20-0 lead. Benkwitt capped the Pioneers' initial run with a one yard plunge to put UC on top 27-0.
The Saints got on the board after a 70 yard touchdown pass from Zane Fish to Miles Crump with 4:22 left in the first half to cut the UC lead to 27-7. Fish completed 11-of-20 passes for 206 yards but he also threw three interceptions for SLU. Crump caught four balls for 92 yards on the evening.
Benkwitt and Dunn hooked up one more time just before the half on a 31 yard touchdown pass to give the Pioneers a convincing 34-7 lead headed into the second half of play.
The second half featured just six Pioneer points to cap the scoring for the day. Jamie Murphy brought in a three yard touchdown pass from Benkwitt with just over 12 minutes left in the third quarter to seal the victory.
Senior captain Luke Manolescu tallied four tackles and added one interception, while sophomore James Lenahan added five tackles and one pick of his own. Junior cornerback Xavier Richardson also picked off a pass for the Pioneers.
The Pioneers return to gridiron next Saturday when they travel to Union College to take on the Dutchmen at 7 p.m. The last time these two teams squared off Utica came from behind to earn a 28-27 victory at Gaetano Stadium. Check www.ucpioneers.com for links to live audio and stats.
Quick Hitters: The last time the Pioneers scored 40 or more points was on Oct. 1, 2011 against Salisbury … The last time Benkwitt threw for 300 or more yards was on Sept. 10, 2011 against Union College … Meier needs three catches to tie James Proniewych for second on the College's all-time receptions list … Meier now has 120 career catches … Utica is now 7-5 all-time in season opening games … The Pioneers are now 3-0 all-time in televised games … Dunn now has 85 career receptions, the most for a tight end in school-history.

Injured Iglesias potentially facing long absence
LAKELAND, Fla. -- While Jose Iglesias tried out a device for pain management on his ailing shins, the Tigers continued to look at their internal options for replacing him. The team is preparing for the possibility of a lengthy injury, with an ESPN report saying he could miss four months.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- While Jose Iglesias tried out a device for pain management on his ailing shins, the Tigers continued to look at their internal options for replacing him. The team is preparing for the possibility of a lengthy injury, with an ESPN report saying he could miss four months.
Manager Brad Ausmus had no medical update on Saturday, nor did the Tigers.View Full Game Coverage
"At this time, I do not have anything to discuss on Iglesias' situation," team president, CEO and general manager Dave Dombrowski told MLB.com in an email. "Will have more in a few days."
At this point, with each day passing without progress, it's increasingly likely Iglesias won't be ready for Opening Day in just over two weeks. The discussion surrounding his situation is transitioning to how long he'll be out -- whether what is being termed a stress reaction in his shins remains a shorter-term issue or the sign of something more severe that puts most of his season at risk -- and what the Tigers do to fill the spot.
"We're in a little bit of a holding pattern," Ausmus said on Saturday morning.
"Depending on how long he's going to be out, we may or may not need two shortstops," Ausmus said. "If we need two shortstops, you probably can't carry an extra outfielder."
Iglesias saw a Lakeland-based foot-and-ankle specialist last week and received an adjustment in his orthotics that he has been wearing since at least last year. The initial adjustment, adding extra cushion under the foot, made an immediate difference according to Iglesias. However, he still hasn't been able to run without pain, which has led to another round of exams.
The shortstop saw another specialist for an additional opinion earlier this week. He also visited with a chiropractor on Friday in Winter Haven, Dr. Rick Smith, who specializes in pain management. He was provided with "a microcurrent machine with biofeedback," according to head athletic trainer Kevin Rand.
Iglesias' agent, Scott Boras, told MLB.com late Saturday night that Iglesias will see two specialists in the coming days to determine the best course of treatment for his shin condition.
Iglesias was to wear the device all day on Friday and into Saturday to see if it made a difference. He was in the Tigers' clubhouse in street clothes on Saturday morning, talking with teammates, but is limited to no physical activity.
His mood did not seem upbeat.
"I think he's frustrated, for sure, no question," Ausmus said. "He wants to play."
Torii Hunter was among the teammates who talked with Iglesias.
"Sitting down, talking to him every day, he's down, very down," Hunter said, "and it's our job as veterans to kind of lift him up. He wants to be out there so bad, and it's killing him."
Iglesias has had a history of shin issues, including last year before and after his July trade from Boston. When recurring pain sidelined him two weeks ago, the Tigers' medical staff aimed to find the root cause and address it once and for all. His absence since then has been longer than anyone expected, given the original diagnosis.
Friday's visit was aimed at managing the pain to a level that would get Iglesias get back to physical activity and able to run.
Utility men Steve Lombardozzi and Danny Worth and youngsters Hernan Perez and Eugenio Suarez have been starting at shortstop during Igelsias' absence. While Lombardozzi is set to make the team out of camp, a season-opening, disabled-list stint for Iglesias opens up a spot on the 25-man roster for one of the other three, though Worth would have to be added to the 40-man roster.
The fact that Ausmus approached the possibility of replacing Iglesias with two shortstops, not just one, reflects the possibility of a lengthy absence. Perez, Suarez and Worth all bat right-handed, while Lombardozzi is a switch-hitter. Perez batted .197 last season, partly as an injury fill-in for Omar Infante last July, partly as a September callup. The 22-year-old went 6-for-33 (.182) against right-handed pitching, with a walk and seven strikeouts. His lefty-righty splits in the Minor Leagues last year were virtually even.
Some combination of the above would likely get the Tigers through a stretch without Iglesias. A worst-case scenario, however, would lead the Tigers to discuss their options on the market -- possibly even free agent Stephen Drew.
Drew, part of Boston's World Series championship team, remains a man without a team, in part, because most clubs would have to give up a Draft pick -- in the Tigers' case, a first-round selection -- to sign him. The Draft choice, No. 23 overall, and the spending allotment that goes with it, has been a valued asset for Detroit, especially with a reportedly deep Draft pool this year.
Surrendering a Draft pick for a partial-year replacement is unlikely. A longer absence, and its impact on a contending club, changes the discussion.
The Tigers aren't there yet. Depending on the eventual diagnosis from the many specialists who have looked at Iglesias, the club could have a decision to make shortly.

NFL denies appeals of bounty suspensions
(CBS/AP) NEW ORLEANS - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has rejected the appeals of four players suspended in connection with the league's bounty investigation of the New Orleans Saints.
In a ruling handed down on Tuesday, Goodell told Jonathan Vilma, Anthony Hargrove, Will Smith and Scott Fujita that he retains "the inherent authority to reduce a suspension should facts be brought to my attention warranting the exercise of that discretion.
"The record confirms that each of you was given multiple chances to meet with me to present your side of the story," Goodell said. "You are each still welcome to do so."
Watch: Drew Brees calls Bountygate a "smear campaign"
Vilma is suspended for the entire 2012 season, while Smith will miss four games. Hargrove, now with Green Bay, was suspended eight games, while Fujita, now with Cleveland, was suspended three games.
The NFL Players Association issued a statement saying it will continue to pursue all options.
"The players are disappointed with the League's conduct during this process," the statement said. "We reiterate our concerns about the lack of fair due process, lack of integrity of the investigation and lack of the jurisdictional authority to impose discipline under the collective bargaining agreement.
"Moreover, the Commissioner took actions during this process that rendered it impossible for him to be an impartial arbitrator."
Goodell said he did not take his initial decision lightly and also points out that players did not help their cause by refusing to participate fully in the appeal process.
Vilma and his attorney, Peter Ginsberg, walked out of the hearing early after Ginsberg raised his objections to the NFL's handling of the entire investigation. The other three players, who were represented by NFL Players Association attorneys, sat through the hearing to observe the NFL's presentation of evidence, but in protest refused to present any evidence or witnesses of their own, and did not question the NFL investigators who were present at the hearing.
"Although you claimed to have been `wrongfully accused with insufficient evidence,' your lawyers elected not to ask a single question of the principal investigators, both of whom were present at the hearing," Goodell wrote in his appeal ruling. "You elected not to testify or to make any substantive statement, written or oral, in support of your appeal; you elected not to call a single witness to support your appeal; and you elected not to introduce a single exhibit addressing the merits of your appeal. Instead, your lawyers raised a series of jurisdictional and procedural objections that generally ignore" the collective bargaining agreement.
The NFL issued a report in March saying that league investigators determined the Saints ran a bounty program from 2009 to 2011 that offered improper cash payments for hits that injured targeted opponents.
The league has said former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams ran the program, and that general manager Mickey Loomis and head coach Sean Payton failed to put a stop to it despite warnings from the NFL at the end of the 2009 season.
The NFL has suspended Williams indefinitely and Payton for the whole season. Loomis is suspended the first half of next season, while Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt was suspended for the first six games. Goodell also docked the Saints second-round draft picks this year and next and fined the club $500,000."That this news was announced at 4 p.m. ET the day before the Fourth of July could be perceived as the league attempting to bury the news of the appeals," writes CBSSports.com's Will Brinson. "But it's hardly surprising to anyone that Goodell decided to shrug off the Saints appeals."

Don't get us wrong, we're all for programs that promote cycling as a viable mode of transportation in New York City:- it gets cars off the road, it's better for the environment, and it's better for us.
But let's be realistic: even for the seasoned city bicyclist, riding in New York City can be a dangerous affair. Now imagine a novice rider who decides to see what this bike share is all about, or even worse, think about the tourist from some small town who thinks that hopping on a bike would be a great way to take in the city.
It's a recipe for disaster.
One of Liu's safety proposals calls for making wearing a helmet while riding a law. That's a good idea (even if the mayor isn't on board), but what are the chances that these casual bike riders are going to be carrying around a good, safe helmet that they can wear when they rent a bike?
Liu has a lot of other good ideas, such as putting more cops on bicycles to help enforce the law, targeting dangerous intersections for safety improvements, and making bicycle awareness an integral part of driver's education.
In fact, Liu has a lot of safety idea, which makes us wonder it anybody in the administration thought this through before they pushed to get the bike share program up and running as quickly as possible.
Again, we're completely on board with the idea of a bike share program, but we're not on board with it if it means a big compromise in safety.
When the program is actually up and running, the city needs to monitor it closely to make sure it is not one disaster after another waiting to happen.

An MRI exam on Howie Kendrick's left knee, injured in a collision with right fielder Collin Cowgill on Monday night, revealed a sprain but no significant structural damage. The Angels will give the injury four or five days to heal before deciding whether to place the second baseman on the disabled list.
"He's sore, and there's some swelling, but there's no doubt it could have been a lot worse," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "Hopefully it will be more short-term. We'll see how it progresses."
To add infield depth, the Angels called up Grant Green, acquired from Oakland in last week's Alberto Callaspo trade, and sent reliever Daniel Stange back to triple-A Salt Lake. Green, from USC, will start at second Tuesday night against the Texas Rangers.
The team also announced that reliever Sean Burnett, as expected, will undergo surgery Wednesday to repair a small tear in the flexor tendon near his left elbow.
Burnett, the former Washington setup man who signed a two-year, $8-million deal last winter, was limited by elbow problems to 13 appearances, but he expects to be ready by spring training in February.
"The prognosis is definitely good for next year," Scioscia said.
Center fielder Peter Bourjos, out since June 30 because of a broken bone in his right wrist, will begin a rehab assignment of four to seven games with Salt Lake on Thursday night.
Bourjos, who was batting .333 when he got hurt, still feels pain and discomfort in the wrist while hitting, "but the doctors say it's not going to get any worse, so there's no point in sitting here and not doing anything. I can play as much as I can tolerate the pain."
Bourjos said surgery to remove the broken bone in the off-season is an option, "but my first goal is to go out and play."

LITTLE ROCK � The House on Tuesday approved a proposed constitutional amendment that combines ethics reforms, a change to legislative term limits and a new system for setting the salaries of legislators, constitutional officers and judges.
LITTLE ROCK � The House on Tuesday approved a proposed constitutional amendment that combines ethics reforms, a change to legislative term limits and a new system for setting the salaries of legislators, constitutional officers and judges.
By a vote of 71-12, the House approved House Joint Resolution 1009 by Rep. Warwick Sabin, D-Little Rock. If referred to voters and passed in the 2014 November general election, the measure would amend the state constitution to:
� Ban corporate and union contributions to political campaigns.
� Loosen term limits to allow legislators to serve up to 16 years, with no restriction on how they are divided between chambers and no restriction against serving them all in one chamber. Legislators are now limited to three two-year terms in the House and two four-year terms in the Senate.
� Increase the �cooling-off� period between when a lawmaker leaves office and is permitted to start lobbying from one year to two years.
� Create a seven-member citizens� commission to set the salaries of legislators, constitutional officers and judges. Two members would be appointed by the governor, two by the Senate president pro tem, two by the House speaker and one by the chief justice of the state Supreme Court.
� Ban gifts to elected officials, with a number of exceptions. Food and drink served at a planned activity to which a government body or identifiable group of public servants is invited would be exempted, as would items that are available free to any member of the general public and travel expenses to attend conventions where the presence of Arkansas officials is requested. Travel to corporate junkets would not be exempted, Sabin said.
Sabin said some of the provisions, including the gift ban and the ban on corporate and union contributions, are in a proposal that the group Regnat Populus will try to get on the ballot in 2016 if HJR 1009 does not get on the 2014 ballot. He suggested that legislators would prefer HJR 1009 because its gift ban is �loosened up� compared to what Regnat Populus is proposing.
�There may be elements in this that you don�t like, but hopefully the end result is more appetizing than the alternative,� said Sabin, a freshman legislator.
Rep. Andy Mayberry, R-Hensley, asked Sabin if ex-legislators who served less than 16 years would be eligible to run for office again. Sabin said they would.
Rep. Randy Alexander, R-Fayetteville, asked whether the amendment would conflict with the U.S. Supreme Court�s 2010 ruling that corporate funding of political candidates cannot be limited.
�There�s a severability clause in the amendment, which means that if any aspect or provision of the amendment is challenged in court and overturned, it won�t affect the rest of the amendment,� Sabin said.
The House burst into applause after the resolution passed. The measure goes to the Senate.

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
This record provided an estimation of labor and materials required for the construction of specific buildings within the camp. Data from this form provided an accurate accounting of man-hours and funds expended on the project.
Questions for Document 1
1. What building does the job application pertain to?
2. What is being requested in the application?
3. Workers were contracted for six months. This was considered a "period." How many months did it take to complete the Administration Building?
4. What was the cost of materials for the Administration Building? The labor cost? What percentage of the cost of construction was for materials? for labor?
5. How much did skilled, intermediate, and unskilled laborers make per hour? If the unskilled workers were earning today's minimum wage, how much would the intermediate and skilled workers make if they earned amounts proportionate to the salaries earned in the 1930s?
6. Organized groups paid $.25 per camper per night to rent Camp Misty Mount. How long would an unskilled worker have to work in order to pay for a five-night stay? If that worker was paid today's minimum wage and had to work the same amount of time to pay for lodging, how much would it cost per camper per night? The actual fee for a four-person cabin in 1999 was $40.00 per night. Was the camp more or less affordable in the 1930s?

Nov. 12 ( Bloomberg) -- Research In Motion Ltd. said it will showcase the first two of its BlackBerry 10 smartphones on Jan. 30, giving details on the price and the release date of the devices it is counting on to revive its fortunes.
Events will be held in countries around the world on that date, the Waterloo, Ontario-based company said today in a statement.
With the announcement, RIM moves a step closer to finally introducing the new smartphones after at least two delays put the devices a year behind schedule. The company has said that the phones will offer "true multitasking," letting them stand out from competitors. RIM needs a hit to help it reverse steady market-share losses over the past two years to Apple Inc.'s iPhone and devices running Google Inc.'s Android software.
RIM shares rallied after the company said on Oct. 31 that more than 50 carriers have begun lab-testing the phones, a process that typically takes 60 to 90 days. Then on Nov. 8, RIM said BlackBerry 10 had won security certification from the U.S. government, the first time that the company's handsets have been certified for FIPS, or Federal Information Processing Standards, before their commercial debut.
That will be key to cementing RIM's reputation as the most secure smartphone on the market, helping reassure the government agencies that are among its biggest customers, said Michael Brown, RIM's vice president for security product management.
RIM shares rose 4.2 percent to $8.54 in New York on Nov. 9, the most recent trading day. After hitting a nine-year low on Sept. 24, the stock had rallied 35 percent, though it remains more than 90 percent below its 2008 peak.

Should you be travelling through the Eurotunnel today, you'll be able to enjoy mobile connectivity depending on which mobile operator you're currently subscribed to. Vodafone and EE have infrastructure in place to take loads from today, while O2 UK will be going live soon. Utilizing a fibre optic retransmission system, operators have made it possible for passengers to enjoy stable connectivity.
Unfortunately, there's no 4G support. This is a bummer since we're rocking through 2014 and smartphones are becoming more powerful, requiring faster connectivity for video streaming, video calls and more. Baby steps, folks. A neat side note is this launch marks the 20th anniversary of the Eurotunnel, bridging the gap between the UK and the rest of Europe. French operators had their equipment installed back in 2012. Better late than never.
