• Finally, leave it all out there. The Crusaders have nothing to lose now because, unlike the first two state tournament games, they are the underdog. They're going home with either first or second place, and will be do worse than equaling what Aquinas accomplished five years ago. There is no shame in that.
The Crusaders are built for a pretty good run in soccer the next couple years. Winning this match would set the bar higher than it ever has been.

Assessing the Hollywood Remake Potential of Five Fantastic Fest Films
I'm not a huge supporter of remaking great foreign films; the trend runs from enticing (Fincher's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) to unnecessary (Let Me In). But because it's inevitable that Hollywood will keep borrowing ideas from the outside world -- and since the aptly named Fantastic Fest played host to so many of them over the past week -- here are five international offerings I could see studios attempting to re-envision. Let's just hope they don't muck it up.
Sleepless Night (Nuit Blanche)
One of many Toronto hits that made it down to Austin (The Raid was a Fantastic Fest hopeful that couldn't be secured to screen after all), Frederic Jardin's taut French thriller is simple, but effective: A dirty cop (Tomer Sisley) navigates a sprawling, serpentine nightclub searching for his kidnapped son, who is being held ransom in exchange for a duffel bag full of stolen cocaine, while evading gangsters and internal affairs agents. Tight action, brutal fight choreography, Taken-esque paternal stakes, and a claustrophobic mastery of the single location set-up make for a thrillingly executed adrenaline ride that makes the most of its relatively simple premise; Warner Bros. is already planning an English-language remake.
Who should remake it: Bradley Cooper, since he's Sisley's American doppelganger.
Clown: The Movie (Klovn)
Curb Your Enthusiasm meets Danish comedy in this feature-length film installment of the Danish sitcom Klovn, in which semi-bumbling comedian Frank (Frank Hvam) joins his friend Casper (Casper Christiansen) on an annual canoe trip away from their significant others. Casper's meant their adventure to be a "Tour de Pussy," a nonstop skirt-chasing journey for the two of them, but since Frank's pregnant girlfriend has serious doubts about his father potential, Frank decides to bring her young nephew along for the ride; disaster, hilarity, and unexpectedly vulgar delights ensue.
Clown is a fairly straightforward but seriously gut-busting buddy road-trip comedy full of misunderstandings, comic situations, pedophile jokes, and man-child self-reflection that could easily be translated (and, let's face it, ruined by) the likes of Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn. Throw Todd Phillips behind the camera for extra measure and you've potentially got a bromance-comedy to rival anything Hollywood's put out in recent years. The only question: Can a Hollywoodized version of Clown even come close to rivaling the droll sharpness, or charm, of the original?
should would remake it: Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn
An arrogant careerist slowly realizes she's walked into a trap in Penumbra, the latest from Argentine filmmaker brothers Adrián García Bogliano and Ramiro García Bogliano (Cold Sweat), who wrote and directed this Fantastic Fest entry together. The set-up is fairly basic: Marga (Cristina Brondo), a lawyer, meets a mysterious man who wants to rent out her family's rundown apartment for a large sum. She's too busy managing office politics and her married lover on her cell phone and looking down her nose on the locals to notice that her potential renter is fidgety and keeps letting in his equally suspicious colleagues, and that something strange may or may not be happening in connection to an impending lunar eclipse.
Penumbra's actually a case in which a remake could potentially improve upon a promising premise. Weak execution here suggests that the idea would work better as a short film, or a Twilight Zone episode; certain choices made, like a scene in which the protagonist's heaving chest is oiled down for apparently no reason at all, just distract. But flesh it out and give it more of a sense of purpose and this could become a taut vehicle for some eager actress. IFC Midnight will distribute in North America, Malaysia and Singapore.
Who should remake it: Rachel McAdams? Hilary Swank? Anyone else who looks good in a power suit?
Kim Min-Suk (screenwriter of The Good, The Bad, and the Weird) pulls off a sort of cross between X-Men and Unbreakable with this good vs. evil tale of a brooding super-powered villain (Kang Dong-won) who can control minds and the one person (Koo So) who's impervious to his influence. Like Magneto and Professor X, each man seems to exist to battle the other though they share similar backgrounds; set it in any Western city with two strong leads and you've got a thriller with more character then the average superhero flick.
Who should remake it: How about James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender (or, more age appropriate: Anton Yelchin and Robert Pattinson) with M. Night Shyamalan directing?
Norwegian author Jo Nesbo's 2008 novel Hodejegerne earned a rousing screen adaptation from director Morten Tyldum, whose Headhunters earned some of the biggest raves of Fantastic Fest. Roger (Aksel Hennie) is a successful recruiter who leads a lavish life with his gorgeous, leggy wife - even if he has to steal from his clients in order to float their lifestyle. When he goes after his next and hopefully last target, a former mercenary (Game of Thrones' Nikolaj Cster-Waldau) in possession of a painting worth millions, Roger's life is thrown upside down as the bullets and twists start flying.
Ripe for remaking (if only because it's a proven thrill ride and Scandinavian thrillers are so hot right now), Headhunters blends action, black humor, and classic heist movie beats; Magnolia picked it up months ago in Berlin for a TBA North American release later this year, with remake rights a hot commodity.
Who should remake it: Give it to "Smokin'" Joe Carnahan. Why not?

Two-run blasts help Elias dispatch Padres
SEATTLE -- It'd been 13 months since Jesus Montero hit a home run in the Majors and, well, forever since he'd played a game at first base. But the once-promising Mariners prospect delivered on both those Tuesday to help Seattle top the Padres, 6-1, to sweep a two-game Interleague series at Safeco Field.
Montero and Robinson Cano each cracked a two-run home run and rookie Roenis Elias threw a seven-inning gem as the Mariners won their third straight to lift their record to 37-34.View Full Game Coverage
SEATTLE -- It'd been 13 months since Jesus Montero hit a home run in the Majors and, well, forever since he'd played a game at first base. But the once-promising Mariners prospect delivered on both those Tuesday to help Seattle top the Padres, 6-1, to sweep a two-game Interleague series at Safeco Field.
Montero and Robinson Cano each cracked a two-run home run and rookie Roenis Elias threw a seven-inning gem as the Mariners won their third straight to lift their record to 37-34.View Full Game Coverage
Montero reached out and drove an outside changeup over the left-field fence in the second inning for his first home run since being called up from Triple-A Tacoma last Thursday. The 24-year-old also made his first career start at first base, as manager Lloyd McClendon looked for a way to get an extra right-handed bat in the lineup against Padres southpaw Eric Stults, and the move paid off.
"I really appreciate the opportunity the Mariners are giving me again," Montero said. "It was really hard for me, what I was going through last year. It was a very tough year. But little by little, I was in Triple-A working hard to be here, and they've given me the opportunity again.
"I feel really happy they were paying attention to me, and now I'm here. I want to just help them win. Whatever they need. If they want me to catch or pitch, I want to do it."
What does McClendon want?
"I really wanted a three-run homer, but he gave us two," McClendon said with a laugh. "He's strong, no question about it. It was actually a hit-and-run with the ball up in the zone and he's so strong, he was able to muscle it out."
McClendon is making no promises about how much he'll play Montero, who only returned last week as Seattle was searching for offensive help with Corey Hart, Justin Smoak and Michael Saunders all on the disabled list.
"Obviously we've got some injuries and he's got an opportunity to get some at-bats," said McClendon. "There's nothing like two-run homers though to have the manager write your name in the lineup the next day. So we'll see. He just needs to keep grinding it out and keep paving a path for himself."
Many wrote Montero off completely after he was sent down last year after struggling as the team's starting catcher, was suspended for 50 games for his involvement with Biogenesis and then reported to Spring Training overweight this year. But the youngster can hit, and the Mariners need right-handed power, particularly with Hart sidelined.
Montero went 1-for-3 on Tuesday, and he's hit .300 (3-for-10) in three games since being recalled. Logan Morrison replaced Montero in the seventh with a 4-1 lead as McClendon wanted a better defender at first base, but Montero's bat could earn him some playing time if he produces.
"If you look at his numbers his rookie year, they were pretty impressive," McClendon said. "He hit [.260] with 15 home runs and 60-plus RBIs as a young catcher. So that's certainly impressive. Now he's had some obstacles along the way and we all know about those, but he's making amends and trying to come back and do the right things."
Cano added his fourth home run of the year in the fifth inning when he drove an easy line drive into the right-field seats. The $240 million free agent went 1-for-3 with a walk, and he is batting .327 with 39 RBIs in his first season for Seattle.
Elias, a 25-year-old Cuban who was pitching in Double-A ball last year, improved to 6-5 with a 3.91 ERA as he gave up one run and three hits over seven frames. Elias struck out six and didn't walk a batter, while throwing 87 pitches.
The youngster learned from his last outing, a career-low 3 1/3-innings start in a 6-3 loss to the Yankees when he was elevating too many pitches.
"This week I didn't throw off the mound, I worked off flat ground," Elias said through interpreter Fernando Alcala. "The pitching coach told me if you keep the ball down, you're going to be unhittable. And it showed today."
Elias surrendered a homer to Padres catcher Rene Rivera in the second, but he didn't allow a runner past second base the rest of the afternoon before turning the game over to fellow rookie Dominic Leone in the eighth.
"He's got a good arm, a good live arm," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He threw some secondary pitches when he was behind in the count that got to us a little bit."
Kyle Seager delivered a two-run bases-loaded double in the seventh to give Elias a 6-1 lead and raise his team-leading RBI total to 47, including 25 in the last 29 games.
Rookie center fielder James Jones went 3-for-5 and stole his fourth base in the past two games, having the speed to take second in the fifth inning even after getting picked off first by Stults. Jones has the most stolen bases of any American League rookie with 11, and he is batting .291 in 43 games since being called up.
"He gets better every day, and every day is a new adventure, a new journey for him," McClendon said. "He's a very intelligent, bright young man. Very talented and a tremendous athlete. The combination of all those things, he's starting to make it look easy."
Seattle now heads to San Diego for two more Interleague games at Petco Park against a Padres club that fell to 29-42 and has lost eight of its last nine.

Determinants of Cost Efficiencies in Bank Mergers
by Robert DeYoung
OCC Working Paper 93-1, August 1993.
A thick cost frontier methodology is used to estimate pre- and post-merger cost inefficiency in 348 mergers approved by the OCC in 1987 and 1988. The results are not consistent with the traditional "market for corporate control" story in which well-managed acquirers improve the performance of poorly managed targets. Cost efficiency improved in the majority of mergers, but gains were small and were not related to the acquiring bank's efficiency advantage over its target.
Efficiency improved most often when both merger partners were relatively cost inefficient, suggesting that cost savings depend more on the opportunities facing management than the quality of that management. Banks that made acquisitions frequently were relatively successful at capturing post-merger efficiencies, suggesting a role for experience effects.
As with all OCC Working Papers, the opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Department of the Treasury.

INSPIRE: INternational Southeast Pacific Investigation of Reducing Environments:
Video Introduction (13 minutes) [1]
For the mission plan and background information as well as a cruise log (in both English and Spanish), visit the NOAA Ocean Explorer [2].
Jolted by the planet's biggest earthquakes, sequestering massive reservoirs of methane, while slowly swallowing a mid ocean ridge, the Chilean margin offers an inspiring natural laboratory for investigating the complex interactions between the solid earth, the deep ocean and the biosphere. At the Chilean Triple Junction, where a the South Chile rise, a ridge crest, is being forced under the methane-rich South American continent, ten Scripps and UC Santa Barbara students and an international team of scientists will explore for tectonically controlled hydrothermal vents, for seep sites of massive methane release, and for novel "hybrid" systems that may yield hot seeps or cool vents. With the shared vision of several Census of Marine Life programs, we will probe for strange new biological life forms, communities, and ecosystems dependent on as yet unknown conditions. As the only location on Earth where all known forms of chemosynthetic ecosystem (hydrothermal vents; cold seeps; oxygen minimum zones; whale, kelp and wood-falls) can coexist and be studied together, the Chilean margin is a prime target for remarkable discoveries.
Over roughly three weeks, an autonomous underwater vehicle called ABE, outfitted with cameras and chemical sensors will be used in combination with instrumentation to measure conductivity/temperature/depth (CTD), a video-guided sediment corer and a bottom trawl to locate and characterize heretofore unknown, and some barely known ecosystems. Perhaps these will provide a missing link between hot and cold deep-sea communities.
A diverse team of students from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (UC San Diego) and the University of California, Santa Barbara will be tackling broad ranging questions about the geology, microbial processing, unicellular life, multi-cellular animals, their food and dispersal abilities at depths far from the sunlit surface. They will be working with an international team of scientists and students from Chile and from other US Institutions (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, University of Washington) to blend expertise across geological, chemical and biological disciplines, and to forge international bonds of collaboration.

Early October 2007 marked a new beginning for Gibson Boats. Its new plant was officially opened for business in Portland, Tenn. The previous year was a bit rough for the veteran houseboat manufacturer as an F3 tornado destroyed the previous facility in early April `06. The natural disaster caused millions in damages throughout the local area but despite the destruction, general manager, William C. Brummett III vowed to rebuild a new facility.
The work on its new facility was completed and doors opened on October 4th to Gibson family and friends from across the country for a weekend of celebration. At 50,000 square feet, the newest facility is half the size of the older plant but the Gibson team is back to work and learning to maximize efficiency in its new home with a renewed commitment to providing the best quality product.
While whispers of rumors were heard throughout the industry that Gibson may be closed for good, the rumors are now officially dispelled at its business as usual for this Tennessee builder. Gibson boats are available through a network of dealers. Visit them online at: www.gibsonboats.com or call and schedule a tour of their new plant; 615-325-9320.

To Learn More About John McDonald
It was supposed to change the way we lived, the way we thought about things and the way we moved ourselves through space and time from one place to another - from here to there.
It never happened of course. In fact, after it was introduced, very little changed.
'It' was the 'segway.'
In broadcasting a 'segueway' is when a host executes a seamless transition from one numb topic to another. O.K., so the topic isn't always 'numb' and transitions are seldom seamless' but often threadbare or ragged. But I think you know what I mean when I use the word segueway.
The thing that was supposed to change life on earth was also called a Segway and it involves not a broadcasting technique but a mode of transportation.
I'm not suggesting that this new 'Segway' refers to when someone goes seamlessly from the topic of SUVs to a discussion of ATVs.
The life-changing Segway a self-balancing, high tech scooter - was the creation of inventor Dean Kamen, owner of DEKA Research & Development Company in Manchester N.H., inventor of the handy-dandy hydraulic infusion pump and holder of more than 150 patents.
No, he doesn't 'hold' them all at once. At least I don't think he stands there holding 150 patents all at the same time.
I remember that Kamen's segway was unveiled several years ago with great fanfare and some ridicule.
This Segways uses a combination of gyroscopes for balance and microchips and software to run. They claim that after about 10 minutes, even non-computer geeks can master the basics. To move forward or backward just leaning on the balls of the feet or on the heels and off you go. Just don't lean accidentally or the Segway may create an accident of its own.
To turn, the rider twists a wheel on the handlebars sort of like the throttle on a motorcycle. Sort of.
Anyway, in an interview the 51-year-old Kamen once said "I started inventing things early. At 5 years old, I figured out a way to make my bed without having to run from one side of the bed to another," he said describing a system of pulleys, blankets and strings. "It always seemed like such a big frustration." I guess the thought of leaving his bed a rumpled mess - like a normal kid would - never occurred to him. And how he survived childhood sleeping with all those ropes and strings and pulleys all over his bed I'll never know.
I bring up the whole subject of Segways because I was looking through my newspaper clip file recently and came across an article tellin about how Segways and 'Segway tours' would be available on Portland's fashionable Eastern Prom.
Segway dealer Annie Cook was offering guided tours of the Eastern Promenade that allowed customers to try out the two-wheeled high-tech transport gizmos.
Cook's business, Segway Maine was set to provide twice-daily tours, adding just one more way to get from here to there in Maine's largest port city.
Until Segways arrived choices for moving around Portland included amphibious duck boats, harbor boat tours, busses dressed-up as trolleys and a narrow-gauge railroad.
If you wanted a two-hour tour it cost you $62 if you were from away and $49 for Maine residents. Don't you wish ALL Maine businesses priced things that way?
Those who wanted a three-hour tour were reminded of what happened to Gilligan's S.S. Minnow.
Cook an authorized Segway dealer for Southern Maine - hoped to give people a chance to test out a Segway without dropping $3,895 or so for the basic model. Fancier versions can cost $600 more.
In an interview at the time Cook said the Segway will make you think 'outside the box.'
I assume it's best if you first take your Segway outside its box, too.
I'm not sure how many Segways Cook's company has sold here in Maine but since people's lives in Portland haven't changed radically, and the way we think about things has not been altered all that much, either, I would guess not many life-changing Segways have been sold.
As they say in broadcasting - just before a segway - "now this..."

Indonesian authorities battle floods in capital
January 18, 2013
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Authorities were working Friday to repair a dike that collapsed amid floods that swamped the Indonesian capital as the waters gradually receded from the main streets of the teeming city.
But more monsoon rains were expected over Jakarta later Friday into Saturday, raising the prospect of fresh flooding, said Fadli, an official at the country's meteorology agency who goes by a single name.
Jakarta, a low-lying city on the sea, has long been prone to floods, but their scale has become worse over the last 10 years as infrastructure development has not kept pace with the city's growth. Other Southeast Asian cities, Bangkok and Manila especially, have also proved vulnerable to widespread floods in recent years.
Authorities said the death toll had risen to 11, most electrocuted or drowned. Police were searching for at least three other people reported missing in the flooded basement of a building in central Jakarta.
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, from the city's disaster mitigation agency, said electricity supplies had been cut to several areas to prevent electrocutions. "Our focus now is to save more lives," he said. While life slowly got back to normal downtown, tens of thousands remained affected by the waters elsewhere in the city of 14 million people. The police and army deployed rubber boats to help evacuate or bring supplies to people, said Jakarta Police Spokesman Col. Rikwanto.
Elsewhere, hundreds of soldiers used backhoes to attempt to repair a collapsed canal dike that let floodwater pour into parts of downtown Jakarta on Thursday after hours of rains caused rivers and canals to burst their banks.
At their peak, almost 250,000 people were affected by the floods, which covered about 30 percent of the city. They were the most widespread to hit the city since 2007, when almost 80 died and more than half of the city as affected.
Unlike in 2007, Jakarta's downturn area was swamped this time around. Successive governments have done little to mitigate the threat of flooding, the latest made worse by heavy downpours Wednesday and Thursday that added pressure to rivers already swollen by a long monsoon season.
Deforestation in the hills to the south of the city, chaotic planning and the rubbish that clogs the hundreds of waterways that crisscross the city are some of the factors behind the floods. Corrupt city officials turn an eye to building violations and lack the skills and ability to build flood defenses.
Indrado, a resident in Central Jakarta, said the floods should cause a rethink. "We cannot only blame the government," he said. "We the people also have to support it by not littering rivers."

It is recommended that you have your dock and boat inspected periodically for bad wires and loose grounds. Any time a person is in the water around a dock or boat where there is AC power, electrical shock could occur.
A boat plugged into shore power with a short on board is dangerous and the owner may not be aware of it. AC current may enter the bonding system if an AC ground becomes disconnected then electrical current can enter the water by way of a bonded thru hull fitting.
Well folks, from week to week I dig around in my back pocket to find a topic to cover in "this week's article." This week's idea came from a picture a new client of mine took of me while I was catching bait.
So this week we will cover live baits and the fish you can target with those baits.
Hey folks, man it was a great week around the key great weather, sunny skies, fish just jumping in the boat. They didn't seem to mind not one bit that it was very hot in the sky and kinda dang hot in the water.
Biologists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) request angler assistance with a research project focusing on red snapper caught in Florida offshore waters. This project will provide fisheries researchers and managers with vital catch-and-release survival information needed for assessing the status of this important recreational fishery.
Hey everybody, sorry for missing last week. I spent most of the week out of town and not on the water. A fishing report that is made up, not really my style.
This week I was able to wet a boat four days. I went to the Waccassassa River one day, Horseshoe Beach one day and the Suwannee River and my backyard good ol' Cedar Key.
Cedar Key is now the home of the Hazwoper. What-woper? HAZWOPER - Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response.
Well everyone, school's out. Teacher let the Captain's fishing buddies out.
The GTO Airboat 13th Annual Fishing Tournament was held in Cedar Key last Saturday, May 21 and three local men won as the third place redfish team.They were the renowned fishing guide, Lloyd Collins and his novice fishing partners, Greg Lang and Bob Hudson.
It was a fun event and the GTO folks did a nice job. There were many nice prizes and lots of good food and fellowship. Most impressive was the GTO's insistence that boaters idle their airboats when close to the public beach and shore, so as not to disturb people.
Hope everybody had a great and safe Memorial Day.
My weekend started off kinda busy but slid right into some really needed family fun with the boys and my wife. I have been doing nothing but working lately, so the time was a must and it was awesome. Being from the walk of life that I'm from work during holiday weekends just kinda always happens. This time I had a fall through deal and Sunday was fun day. Ha ha.
Folks, the news for the week is awesome Spotted Seatrout action. I mean good and it will do nothing but get better, for the next month.
All of our flats are alive and well. The grass has begun to grow back. The bait schools are moving in and the trout are really happy about it. When the trout are happy, our clients are happy. When our clients are happy, our town is busy and well, I think we all know were this is going. Without a happy town, my boat payments don't get paid. So all's well at this point.

Most icons are instantly recognizable: Apple iPod, Swiss Army Knife, Porsche 911... they trigger synapses and ping our consciousness in a nanosecond. However, the Pirelli P Zero is something else entirely.
To the untrained eye, it's a tire like any other: round; black; tread pattern; that's about it. To the driver of a high-performance car, the P Zeros can be the final piece of the equation. Experience gained from a century of motorsport has filtered its way into these tires to make them an industry legend, and one which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
Its extraordinary heritage explains why it comes standard on so many machines, like the Aston Martin DB9, Audi R8, Ferrari 599 GTB, Lamborghini Murciélago, many Mercedes-Benz AMG, several Jaguars, and now the latest McLaren MP4-12C.
The P Zero skidded onto the scene in 1987 as the world's first ultra-high-performance tire for the legendary Ferrari F40; a car that could hit 60mph in a smidge under 4sec and was the first production car to exceed 200mph.
"The F40 was dramatically different... It was a racecar for the road," said Maurizio Boiocchi, managing director of Pirelli's R&D operation (Pirelli Labs) and chief technical officer.
Regarded as the father of the P Zero, Dottore Boiocchi is currently working on Pirelli's F1 tire program but we caught up with him before he went to Spa for the 2012 Belgian Grand Prix.
Despite its exotic supercar debut, the P Zero's development began on rally stages with the Lancia Delta HF Integrale. "We had a different way of designing tires: Nobody else was using asymmetric patterns. We were combining two separate tread compounds 20 years before any other tire companies," Dr Boiocchi told us.
In '94, the introduction of the Corsa system on the Ferrari 355 utilized one tread pattern on the front, with an asymmetric pattern on the rear, allowing the tires to deal with the tasks of directional stability, traction and steering.
A new generation P Zero tires arrived in 2007, augmented by aramids (also known as aromatic polyamides; although "aromatic" doesn't refer to its odor). These man-made fibers are found in body armor and, as well as being super-tough, they retain integrity at high temperatures. So the P Zero construction employs aramid sidewalls.
"In the early days, it was performance, performance, performance," said Boiocchi. "Then we started looking for a more complete tire, a balance of dry and wet handling, less noise and better wear rates. Aramids were unique at the time, at the edge of the available technology."
Today's P Zero has evolved to cover a spectrum of performance scenarios, from the road-going Silver to the racing Trofeo. And after 25 years, almost 55 million P Zero tires have been sold – an astonishing legacy for the Italian manufacturer established by Giovanni Battista Pirelli in 1872.
The famous Pirelli logo was created in New York in 1908, inspired by Giovanni and his sons who elongated the P in their signature. It's become an iconic design for the Milanese company, alongside the P zero, which got its name by chance: Pirelli's marketing guys followed the template of P2, P3, P4, etc. Yet they hadn't made a decision for this product, so the technicians called it P Zero as a joke, and it stuck!
Today, Pirelli provides all the rubber for F1, GP2 and GP3, as well as World Superbike and Motocross, plus a host of national series such as the SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge, GT3 Cup and Ferrari Challenge, etc. There's even a P Zero clothing line, with a stunning flagship store in the hometown of Milan (pirellipzero.com).
Let's not overlook the other Pirelli icon: the famous calendar featuring artistic photography of elegant but sparsely dressed women. What once graced the walls of workshops is now hung in museums, and the P Zero has similarly elevated itself from mundane tire to a household name and a favorite of driving enthusiasts (pirelli.com).

By Maj. Roy Whitley, program manager, Army Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay Program
Perhaps the biggest challenges we've faced with this program are identifying and notifying soldiers and veterans eligible for this pay. Historically, stop loss has been a force management tool and not tied to compensation, so we did not readily maintain lists of those held under stop loss. Prior to Congress authorizing this pay, the Army took proactive steps to review personnel records spanning a decade to establish who may be eligible. While the Army has identified 120,000 who qualify, we have consistently asked anyone who may qualify to submit an application.
We've expanded our message to the broadest audience, to ensure those whose extended service may not have been captured in our database are still afforded the opportunity to apply for and receive the benefit they have earned. For that reason, we jump at opportunities like this one presented by the USO. Like all outreach activities we undertake, I hope this post reaches those yet to hear about the program, while serving as an alert to apply for the pay and to spread the word.
The Army's Retroactive Stop Loss Program Management Office has been taking and working claims since October 21, 2009. To date, over 70,000 soldiers and veterans have at least initiated a claim. The Army has completed disbursement of almost $200 million. Currently, we have many cases to work through over the next few months. However, as the October 21 deadline approaches, we'd like to see more claims in our system.
Through our work over the past year, we have learned a great deal about stop loss and the mentality of soldiers and veterans. Many of those the Army has contacted directly are skeptical about this pay. This pay is real. The Army's average payout is around $4,000. Many of those who hear about this program from a friend aren't sure they qualify. The Army is encouraging everyone who believes they served under stop loss to submit a claim. Our case management team will review your submission and make a determination. If you think you qualify, you should apply. If you know of someone who may qualify, please tell them to apply.
We have read and heard some of the great stories born from this program. For many Soldiers and veterans, this is money they never expected to receive for their extended service. Mathew Ecker, whose son SPC Michael Ecker passed away after separating from the Army, received notification from the Army that his son was eligible for retroactive stop loss pay. As a beneficiary, our office worked closely with Mr. Ecker to ensure his experience was easy and successful. He wrote to us, "I just wanted to send you a thank you. Each time I contacted your office concerning stop loss, the staff was pleasant to talk with, patient, and knowledgeable. Their help alone made this process flow without any problems. You are free to share my experience, so others might benefit."
We endeavor to provide the same level of assistance to all claimants, specifically focusing on those who have been wounded and survivors.
I encourage everyone to visit our official Facebook page—US Army Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay—to read more about other experiences people have had with the program. To apply for retroactive stop loss pay and learn more about eligibly requirements you can visit the Army's site directly at https://www.stoplosspay.army.mil

When you say trade? Do you mean price from importer to store?Tone wrote:That's fine you think I might be wrong.
when trade on a 12m kite is £550 from importer, how much do you really think the brand is making?
I think the stores pay a lot more than that. I think stores make about 30% as I think the importers do. This is not something I know, but from other sporting goods industries...
Actually I do not know. I would think maybe 50% which would the price to kiteboarding companies maybe 450-600?
I do think it depends on what cost you take into consideration. Are you talking about materials only? Or the fact that you have to run a whole organization around it too?
I did this long guesstimation long time ago, but could not find it.. I think I was pretty close. If I was to guess I would say kite from factory would be $250-300 (kite only)? That is not the full cost for a kite though. It is a complete misrepresentation to say so.
Now when people read that they go wow that is very different from the price I am paying, yet they do not take into calculations all the other things going into a kite...neither do they realize that when they pay for a can of corn, the corn itself is maybe 6-9 cents of the $1.50..probably less, the rest is packaging, transport, quality assurance.
In kiting you also pay for R&D and the marked is very very small. We've had this discussion countless times here but for some people this is just really hard to grasp...
edit: numbers.

Ages vary
45 minute class, once a week
$86 per month (Based on four classes in a month. Actual number of classes in a month may vary.)
This class is our gym's introduction to the special needs program. We offer two groups split by age, 4 - 6 and 7 – 9 years old. Class placement is open for discussion as we try to base groups on the size, ability, and needs of the gymnasts.
Offered in a less crowded location during quieter business hours, the class is geared towards optimized adaption to a structured gym setting. To support the child's needs, a parent, guardian, or aide is required in order to best support each gymnast. Our special needs classes are limited to a 4 students to a coach ratio to guarantee individual attention for each student.
Class Focus:
The class builds a wide range of motor skills as well as social skills, boosting students' confidence with each success. Student - teacher communication is key as students gain skills while having fun.
Gymnastic Skills:
Balance, jumps, running coordination, hanging on bars, basic inversions, climbing, and much more.
Example class structure:
This class is our program's transition to the bigger gym. With more equipment available to accommodate older children and a larger amount of classes simultaneously being held around the class, listening requirements are brought to the forefront. A parent or guardian is welcome to aide to best support the needs of each student. Four gymnasts maximum in a class to ensure each gymnast receives individual attention.
Class Focus:
This class fosters listening and communication skills with a teacher. Gymnasts gain the ability to take the class independently without an aide while practicing sharing and taking turns with others.
Gymnastics Skills:
Various trampoline bounces and drops, body positions, basic vaulting skills, basic bars, rings, parallel bars, support swings and travels, basic tumbling, and stretches on the gym floor.
Example class structure:
The Level 1 for Special Needs class is a stepping stone into a Level 2 for boys and girls that need special accommodations. The class explores many different approaches to basic gymnastic skills and is taught at a lower 4 to 1 student to coach ratio to ensure every gymnast has the tools to learn and achieve success.
Class Focus:
The focus of this class is building skills, learning how to push past difficult obstacles, and understanding the rewards of hard work and dedication. Gymnasts will learn to maintain focus utilizing gymnast and coach communication with minimal guardian aide.
Gymnastic Skills:
Basic tumbling, progression towards a pullover on bar, hand stand flat back, cartwheel, and squat-on on vault.
Example Class Structure:
Please contact our office or email Enrollment Director at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Team Tamar Braxton are playing no games with the campaign for the singer's new single 'Love & War'.
Fresh from topping iTunes a day after release, the LaShawn Daniels cut has been the subject of a refreshingly ruthless promo campaign, which made its latest stop on ABC's Good Morning America.
Watch below as Tamar and her band rock out to the winning cut!

"She" did that!
Vocally delicious, Tamar's baritone serves as a nod of sorts to big sister Toni, while the power and adlibs she delivered really establish her as an amazing vocalist in her own right.
Yet another stunning performance.

I'm using OpenGL 3.30 with Shaders (with HW instancing) but I've got a flickering effect on whole scene when I'm trying to execute occlusion queries during high framerates (usually > 100). More pfs I get, then more flickers I get.
With 60 or less fps I get no flickering effect.
YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1alFoXrAqY
- Enable off screen rendering to FrameBufferObject
- glColorMask(0,0,0,0)
- glDepthMask(0)
- for each object to render {
- Bind VertexBufferObject() to Shader
- glBeginQuery(GL_SAMPLES_PASSED)
- save QUERY_ID and OBJECT_ID for later use
- glDrawArraysInstanced(...)
- glEndQuery(GL_SAMPLES_PASSED)
- }
- while glGetQueryObjectuiv(GL_QUERY_RESULT_AVAILABLE) == 0 {...}
- verify if QUERY_ID is visible and set OBJECT_ID the same
- glDepthMask(1)
- glColorMask(1,1,1,1)
- Disable off screen rendering and return to default FrameBuffer
- normal Rendering Pass which renders only objects which had QUERY_ID passed as "visible"
I know this is not the good way to "wait" (list point #6) Querie results, but I don't understand why rendering "off screen" (to a FrameBufferObject) starts to flickering in default Framebuffer....Even if I exchange list point #6 with a delay Sleep(500) I get no flickering effect, so the problem is not caused due to wait Query results.
Any idea?
PS: If i remove those piece of code (firsts 10 list points) I get no flickering
PS2: left-bottom text is rendered outside rendering pass

Olympic TV Moments
The first Olympics broadcast on a regular, extensive basis on TV were the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, Calif. CBS paid all of $50,000 for the rights, and newsman Walter Cronkite anchored the coverage. Many of the Games had singular TV moments -- outstanding athletic feats and also social landmarks. Here are a few.

Perseid Meteors
The Perseid meteor shower is at its best tonight. Unfortunately, that's not much to get excited about. The Moon is almost full, so its beautiful but pesky light will overpower the "shooting stars." Only a handful will shine through.
The Perseids occur every August as Earth flies through the orbital path of Comet Swift-Tuttle. The comet is a ball of frozen water and gases mixed with bits of rock and metal. As it approaches the Sun, some of its ices vaporize. That releases some of the solid particles, called comet dust.
When Earth flies through the comet's trail around the Sun, some of the dust grains slam into the atmosphere at tens of thousands of miles per hour. They vaporize instantly, creating streaks of light across the night sky.
Swift-Tuttle returned to the inner solar system almost two decades ago -- its first appearance since the Civil War -- so the Perseids were especially good through most of the 1990s. In recent years, though, they've dwindled by quite a bit. Instead of thousands of meteors, the shower's peak might produce just a few dozen to perhaps a hundred or so -- and that's under a dark, moonless sky.
If you want to give it a try, though, find a safe observing site away from city lights. The meteors enter the atmosphere from the direction of the constellation Perseus -- hence the shower's name. But they can streak across any part of the sky, so you don't have to look at a particular spot to see them.

The vagina effect. Simple. Shocking. Effective. But is it intentional?
As you may undoubtedly recall, Britney Spears has had a few "oopsies" over the last year -- oopsies that left her no-no special parts "accidentally" exposed. But who's to blame? Oversmellous paps? Or an attention-craving exhibitionist?
Take a look at the evidence -- and decide for yourself!

dstpierre needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 127 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
Focus Centric is a small software company based in Quebec, Canada, we recently acquired MyWineAssistant.com and are in a process of re-vamping it from scratch.
MyWineAssistant.com is a software as a service allowing wine collectors to track, valuate their wines. User can add rating and tasting preference, manage their cellar etc. The website will be completely redesign starting with the logo. I would like to boost the professionalism of the website.
The main users are residing on the USA. Obviously they are wine lovers, some are collecting some are home making wines. I'm not 100 % sure, but I think there are more man than women. The age range in majority would be between 35-50.
Please do not be influenced by the current website colors / theme. Everything from new sale site to application theme will be derived from the logo.
I would like to get something fresh and professional, hopefully related to wine ;). You have white card for this one, I do not have any specific idea.

Jeep becomes the first automaker to have over 1,000,000 fans on Facebook
n 2010, the Jeep brand experienced triple digit growth in its fan base on Facebook. In July, Jeep brand fans tested the size limits of Facebook's photo album, "Photos by Others." Fans exceeded the 20,000 photo-limit resulting in a need for Facebook to accommodate the increased number of images. We are guessing that nearly all of these fans that hit like have (or wish they have) a Jeep Wrangler accessorized with Rugged Ridge parts.
"We are honored to be the first and only domestic automotive brand that can claim more than 1 million Facebook fans," said Mike Manley, President and CEO – Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "This reinforces the fact that Jeep is clearly one of the most well-known and loved brands throughout the world, and comes as we continue to gain sales momentum and begin to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the brand."
So have you added us on Facebook yet?

Giants' Crick, Escobar crack Top 100 prospects
SAN FRANCISCO -- As last season ended, Giants general manager Brian Sabean declared, "We have as much pitching talent in the lower Minor Leagues as anybody in baseball."
MLB.com's list of Top 100 prospects legitimized Sabean's remark.
SAN FRANCISCO -- As last season ended, Giants general manager Brian Sabean declared, "We have as much pitching talent in the lower Minor Leagues as anybody in baseball."
MLB.com's list of Top 100 prospects legitimized Sabean's remark.
Released Thursday night, the rankings included two of the Giants' most promising hurlers -- right-hander Kyle Crick (No. 32) and left-hander Edwin Escobar (95).
The annual ranking of baseball's biggest and brightest young talent is assembled by MLBPipeline.com Draft and prospect experts Jonathan Mayo and Jim Callis, who compile input from industry sources, including scouts and scouting directors. It is based on analysis of players' skill sets, upsides, proximity to the Majors and potential immediate impact to their teams. The list, which is one of several prospect rankings on MLBPipeline.com's Prospect Watch, only includes players with rookie status in 2014.
The Giants have eagerly followed Crick's development since they selected him 49th overall in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft out of Sherman (Texas) High School. At 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, he immediately prompted inevitable comparisons with another hard-throwing right-hander whom the Giants plucked from the prep ranks -- three-time National League All-Star Matt Cain.
Crick strained an oblique muscle early last season, which prevented him from increasing his workload and hastening his march to the Majors. He accumulated 84 1/3 innings at Class A Advanced San Jose and with Scottsdale in the Arizona Fall League, down from 111 1/3 with Class A Augusta in 2012. Ideally, aspiring starting pitchers hike their innings totals by 30 to 40 each year, the better to build experience and arm strength. But the Giants aren't overly concerned about Crick, given the excellence the 21-year-old displayed when healthy.
Crick finished 3-1 with a 1.57 ERA in 14 starts for San Jose. He limited hitters to a .201 batting average while striking out 95 in 68 2/3 innings. Crick sustained his momentum in the AFL by yielding just nine hits in 15 2/3 innings spanning seven outings (opponents' batting average: .161). Next month, Crick will appear in his first big league camp when he joins the club's contingent of non-roster invitees at Spring Training.
As Sabean said, "Crick isn't the only big prospect we have." There's also Escobar, who unlike Crick compiled the desired increase in innings. Escobar accumulated 154 2/3 innings in the regular season and winter ball in Venezuela, up from 130 2/3 in 2012. Sabean hinted that Escobar, who divided the 2013 season between San Jose and Double-A Richmond, could be summoned to the Majors if the Giants' rotation needs reinforcement.
"He has the most innings built up [among the organization's prospects] to make a move," Sabean said.
Escobar, 21, isn't a soft-tossing lefty. His fastball has reached 94 mph on occasion. The Venezuelan demonstrated his savvy as well as his talent last year by improving statistically as he rose a classification. He recorded a 2.67 ERA at Richmond, down from 2.89 at San Jose. Double-A opponents hit .219 off him, compared with .234 in Class A.
Already on the Giants' 40-man roster, Escobar will participate in Spring Training for the second consecutive year.

My reading goals (#14-17) are coming along well. I've managed to finish 1 non-fiction book (Virtually You by Elias Aboujaoude), 1 classic (The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde), 1 Shakespeare play (A Midsummer Night's Dream ), and I've owned the last 3 books that I've read (Dorian, Midsummer, and Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares).
As for the other goals...
#2. Ride my bike 15 miles (without passing out or dying.) - Well I went 5 miles the other day. And thought I was dying. It's going to take a while (and a break in the relentless heat) to work my way up to this one.
#7. Get back into sewing (or another hobby I've given up on) - I've thought about sewing, I just can't find the kind of fabric I wanted to work on the project I had in mind. But I'm still tossing the idea around. In the meantime, I spent several late night hours watching YouTube videos, trying to teach myself how to knit instead. (Like I need to learn any new crafts when I don't finish anything else I've started.)
#18. Bake 5 things I've never tried to bake before - I made graham crackers! And I have another thing in mind to make pretty soon, if I don't chicken out on it. But I still need to figure out 3 more things I haven't tried making yet.
#19. Enter a baking competition (and win!) - Sunday morning I dropped off my cookies at the Ohio State Fair. Tomorrow I start baking my cupcakes to take on Friday. So entering = done. Winning.. We'll have to wait a couple more days to see.
#22. Try 3 kinds of foods I've never tried before - Boyfriend and I went to an Indian buffet. I have absolutely no idea what I tried, but I have to say, I actually liked pretty much everything I got. 1 down!
#23. Cook 3 kinds of foods I've never tried making before - No pictures exist (so it didn't really happen) but I've made steak a couple times now. I'm notorious for overcooking meat (it runs in the family, which is why for the longest time, I hated steak..), so I've never had the urge to ruin a $6 (on the cheap side!) piece of meat. When our Target finally got a grocery section, they had a GREAT sale on steaks, so I nabbed some. I don't have a grill, so it's been on the stove each, but it's been pretty good! I'll have to get a picture next time, so I can prove I've actually done it.
#27. Get back into a blogging routine - Still struggling with this. I first thought I'd go back to twice a week, which I managed, like once. And then I skipped a whole week. The past couple have been Wednesdays only. So I'm still fighting with this one. But I'm working on it.
#28. Be more interactive in blogging - There may or may not be something coming up soon. If I can ever get with it enough to do it. But, the waiting may have been a good thing after all.. It may just sweeten the deal a bit. Hopefully next week you'll finally see what I'm talking about.
#29. Give the blog a makeover - I've started on this! And if I find some time soon to finish up the last little bits, you'll actually get to see it!
So, right now I still only have 2 done. But 13 more in the works isn't bad. That's half the list right there! And I still have exactly 9 months to go. I think I might actually get this! Well.. it is still early. I still have 9 months left to completely fail. But I'm going to try my best!
Wondering what's on the rest of the list? My 30 Before 30:
1. Lose a dress size
2. Ride my bike 15 miles (without passing out or dying.)
4. Get highlights
5. Pay off my credit cards (or at least significantly pay down)
6. Get back into couponing (not extreme couponing. Those people are crazy. Just the normal save money kind of couponing)
7. Get back into sewing (or another hobby I've given up on)
8. Decorate my house and put pictures up on my walls
9. Finish an entire crossword puzzle from the Sunday newspaper on my own (without looking at the answers)
10. Send out Christmas cards
11. Visit a new city
12. Visit another state
13. Get a passport (even if I don't get to use it right away)
Reading: (I read a lot. My current goal is 60 books a year, which I'm only slightly behind on, but still doing well. The only problem—I read a lot of teen books. Paranormal teen books. Total mind numbing fluff. And I get most of them from the library, even though I have 2 bookshelves full of legitimate literature, most of which I've never read.)
14. Read 3 non-fiction books
15. Read 3 classic books
16. Read 3 Shakespeare plays
17. Read 8 books I already own
18. Bake 5 things I've never tried to bake before
20. Bake a pie
21. Make another tiered, fondant covered cake (I will master you, fondant.)
22. Try 3 kinds of foods I've never tried before
23. Cook 3 kinds of foods I've never tried making before
24. Make pasta from scratch
25. Cook more, eat out less
26. Put together a cookbook of my favorite recipes (even if it's just for me)
27. Get back into a blogging routine (I've been a slacker lately! Sorry.)
28. Be more interactive in blogging (Giveaways and other ideas I've had rattling around my brain)
29. Give the blog a makeover? (I usually end up doing this once a year anyway)
30. Buy a fancy DSLR camera (and learn how to use it)

Fox's Varney On Furloughed Federal Employees: "I Want To Punish These People"
Blog ››› ››› CRAIG HARRINGTON
Fox Business host Stuart Varney believes that the ongoing government shutdown, while presenting no real threat to the economy, offers an opportunity to "punish" federal workers for "living on our backs."
On the October 2 edition of AM 560's The Big John & Amy Show, co-hosts John Howell and Amy Jacobson interviewed Fox Business' Stuart Varney and asked him about the government shutdown and its effect on workers and the economy. Varney stated, incorrectly, that the shutdown was not having an impact on financial markets or the greater economy before launching into a tirade against federal employees. When asked if federal employees deserved to be recompensed for lost wages during the shutdown, Varney had this to say:
HOWELL: Do you think that federal workers, when this ends, are deserving of their back pay or not?
VARNEY: That is a loaded question isn't it? You want my opinion? This is President Obama's shutdown. He is responsible for shutting this thing down; he's taken an entirely political decision here. No, I don't think they should get their back pay, frankly, I really don't. I'm sick and tired of a massive, bloated federal bureaucracy living on our backs, and taking money out of us, a lot more money than most of us earn in the private sector, then getting a furlough, and then getting their money back at the end of it. Sorry, I'm not for that. I want to punish these people. Sorry to say that, but that's what I want to do.
After co-host Amy Jacobson responded that "it's not the federal employees' fault" and that she hates to see them victimized by a political fight, Varney complained that in "the big picture" he is "getting screwed" by government workers who are "living large":
JACOBSON: But it's not their fault. It's not the federal employees' fault. I mean, that's what I'm sick of, I hate and it makes me anxious, to see people who are victimized because of a political fight.
VARNEY: I take your point Amy, it is not directly their fault, but I'm looking at the big picture here. I'm getting screwed. Here I am, a private citizen, paying an inordinate amount of money in tax. I've got a slow economy because it's all government, all the time. And these people are living on our backs, regulating us, telling us what to do, taxing us, taking our money, and living large. This is my chance to say "hey, I'm fed up with this and I don't miss you when you're on furlough." Sorry if that's a harsh tone, but that's the way I feel.
Varney's vengeful tone is nothing new. His attacks on the poor and recipients of government benefits are a common theme in his reporting.

Psahna is located 16 km to the north of Chalkida. The town is built on a lush green landscape near the sea and has many listed buildings. Your sightseeing tour in Psahna should include the stone-built church of Metaforfosi (Transfiguration) as well as the Monasteries of Panaghia (Holy Mother) of Makrymalli (13th - 15th centuries) and Osios Ioannis Kalybitis (9th -12th centuries). The villages of Makrykapa, Palioura, Attali, Aghios Athanasios and Triada (where you can see the tower of Nikolaos Kreziotis, Greek military commander) are also worth visiting.

Today Microsoft's Major Nelson announced that the public gates would be opening for Xbox Live's 2013 Update. According to our favorite Xbox team member, the update " will include updates to improve overall performance and the ability to conduct transactions with local currency."
In a major decision, Microsoft has decided to retire their point based system which originally launched as a way to allow users without the need of a credit card; this reduces the number of fees the company would need to pay to credit card companies for each small transaction. This aligns with rumors we reported about previously in January.
If you want to get in on the sweet beta action simply fire up your Xbox 360 console and look for the "Xbox Beta Program" tile on your dashboard.
At this time, Xbox Live members in every country except Japan can currently join - the country of Japan will be added at a later unspecified date according to officals.
Alright kids, go grab that update!
