Explore the Bay of Islands on the Rock
My wife and I had the best 22 hours of our month long trip to Australia and New Zealand cruising on the Bay of Islands on The Rock
From the moment my wife and I stepped onboard The Rock, I knew it was going to be a special adventure. The Rock is a converted car ferry that reminds me of what Noah's Ark must have looked like, only on a smaller scale. Among the 36 folks who were on board, there were people from many European countries, Taiwan, Samoa, Australia and a few of us from the United States. The Rock has a very large common area on the main deck with bathrooms, bar, cooking area, a great "living room" with couches, pool table and piano." Upstairs consisted of bedrooms that slept between 2 and 6. Our room for two had a nice bed and a great view. All the bedrooms seemed to be fairly small, but that was OK as all we did was sleep in the room. The rest of the time we were on the main deck or hanging out on the upper deck enjoying the views.
The crew of 6 knew our names almost immediately and actually spent time talking to us on a regular basis. It was obvious that they enjoyed their jobs, helping us explore the wonders of the Bay of Islands. Once we were on board, we headed out to our first anchorage. Along the way, we had a chance to try an shoot a wayward duck decoy with a paintball gun. Winners won a free drink. Once we arrived at our destination for the night, we were given the opportunity to catch some fish for dinner. Very soon, 10 or so rods were baited and we tried our best to catch some snapper. Alas, all the big snapper apparently heard the news and headed elsewhere and more than a few smaller snapper sampled our bait and were hauled onto the boat. Since they were smaller than allowed, after a kiss from the lucky fisherman/woman, they were thrown back into the water.
Since we didn't catch any fish, dinner consisted of a salad buffet, grilled steak and sausages. We guests dined at a table for all 36 of us and had time to share stories, backgrounds, etc. with our fellow adventurers.
After dinner, we experienced one of the high points of the trip. We were in the first group that got to go out for a night time kayak foray. Once we got away from the lights of the Rock, we noticed flashes of a greenish light in water each time our paddle dipped into the water. Turns out there is luminescent algae in the water. When our guide stopped and explained this phenomenon to us, I had a chance to dip my hand in the water. As I moved the hand closer to my kayak, I felt like Tinkerbell in the movie Peter Pan as the swish of my hand created an incredible flash of color, much like when Tinkerbell threw pixie dust into the air. While our trip was pretty short, we also had time to enjoy the sparkling stars of the southern sky and the warmth of a wood stove on the back deck upon our return.
After all of the excitement of the day, we soon retired to the comfort of our room. As the night progressed, we were captivated by some classic piano playing by, as it turns out our captain. He was a a very skilled pianist and we drifted off to sleep, enjoying his lovely classical touches on the keyboard.
The following morning I got up to see the sunrise and had time to feed (not catch) more snapper. Dawn did not disappoint and soon the warmth of the sun filled my body. I headed back up to our room with some coffee for my sweetie and we enjoyed watching the golden light illuminate the nearby shore.
After a nice buffet breakfast, we headed off to Mussel Rock for some snorkeling. We were charged with harvesting some mussels and kina for an afternoon snack. Our adventure was helped out by the use of some wetsuits as the water was still a bit cool. That is one of the drawbacks of traveling on the fringe of spring. In no time we had filled a large bag twice with the beautiful mussels and kina.
After our successful mission, we pulled up anchor and ended up in a wondrous cove with a marvelous beach. After we ferried ashore, most of us hiked up to a viewpoint where our guides pointed out the various islands off in the distance and some history of the area. After the breathtaking views, we headed back down to the beach to either lounge on the beach, explore the shoreline by kayak or join in an impromptu game of touch rugby. After a leisurely afternoon on the beach, be headed back to our port.
On the trip back, be enjoyed the scenic beauty of the Bay of Islands and had a chance to sample Kina eggs, which are a delicacy known as Uni. I think it is an acquired taste. When we dropped anchor back in Pahia, we had our final feast, our freshly harvested mussels that were almost as sweet as sugar. After settling up our expenses, we were ferried back to port. I can say without a doubt, this was the best 22 hours of our month long trip to Australia and New Zealand. The staff of 6 were amazing. It is obvious that they enjoy their jobs, sharing the wonders of the Bay of Islands from the perfect vessel, The Rock.

Pittsburgh-Colorado Preview
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Within hours over a gloomy weekend this winter, season-ending knee injuries sidelined Colorado's point guard and cost Pittsburgh one of its top reserves.
Lesser teams might have faltered down the stretch, however the eighth-seeded Buffaloes (23-11) and ninth-seeded Panthers (25-9) made adjustments that enabled them to remain on course to get back to the NCAA tournament, where they'll meet Thursday in the second round of the Midwest Regional.
Colorado's 6-foot-6 point guard Spencer Dinwiddie was averaging 14.7 points and nearly four assists per game when he went down during a 17-point loss at Washington on Jan. 12, forcing shooting guard Askia Booker to take on additional responsibilities as a facilitator for teammates.
Less than 24 hours earlier, Pitt lost sophomore forward Durand Johnson, averaging 8.8 points and just over three rebounds, for the year during a 15-point victory over Wake Forest.
"It changed a lot of things and what we wanted to do. He was one of our best five players. We weren't starting him, but he was our third-leading scorer. He was our best perimeter defender," Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said Wednesday.
"It was his energy, it was his aggressiveness, it was his defense, and he had become a real good playmaker for us at getting other guys shots," Dixon added. "Those were the things that stood out to me. And even though he had this reputation of being a shooter only, he had really developed his game and improved."
Pitt coped by increasing playing time for some of its younger players.
Colorado weathered a tough stretch while learning to play with the 6-foot-2 Booker in his new role.
Buffaloes coach Tad Boyle has his team in the NCAAs for the third straight season, and Booker's ability to adapt is one of the reasons the team has a chance to make amends for last year's opening-game loss to Illinois.
"Ski loves big opportunities. He loves challenges. He loves playing when the spotlight is the biggest," Boyle said. "He's got a competitive streak about him and a confidence about him, I think, that allows him to play well against the best competition."
Five things to know about the second-round matchup between Colorado and Pittsburgh.
FAMILAR TERRITORY: The No. 8 seed is the highest Colorado has ever had in the NCAA tournament. The Buffaloes beat UNLV to advance to the third round two years ago, and they're excited to have a chance to remove the sour taste lingering from a quick exit in 2013. Still, Boyle isn't sure his team's previous experience will be an advantage. Pitt has been in the tournament, 12 of the past 13 years and has advanced as far as the round of 16 five times since 2002.
"For this program to get national respect, we have to play well on a national stage, and the stage doesn't get any bigger in basketball than the one we're on right now, the NCAA tournament," Boyle said.
"Every year you're here, you hope this is the year that that happens," the Colorado coach added. "But every year you look at your opponent, and you think, oh, boy, we've got our hands full, and that's the case with Pitt."
MAKING THE TRANSITION: Pitt made the transition from the Big East to the Atlantic Coast Conference this season. After an 18-2 start, the Panthers went 7-7 down the stretch, including last week's loss to Virginia in the semifinals of the ACC tournament.
"The biggest difference to me is the name of the conference," leading scorer Lamar Patterson said, noting both leagues are tough.
From a coaching standpoint, Dixon said there are a lot differences, ranging from recruiting to playing more games in on-campus arenas instead of NBA venues.
"You go in there saying it's just basketball," Dixon said. "But it's a different deal."
LATE SEASON STRUGGLES: Like Pitt, Colorado is trying to recover its edge. The Buffaloes have dropped four of seven since beating Arizona State at home on Feb. 19, with two of those losses coming to Arizona. Leading scorer Josh Scott, a 6-foot-10 sophomore center who'll be matched up against Pitt's 6-9 Talib Zanna, was held to four points and two rebounds in a 20-loss to Arizona in the Pac-12 tourney.
X-FACTOR: One of the players who has emerged as a solid player for Colorado since Dinwiddie left the lineup is guard Xavier Talton. He and forward Xavier Johnson average nearly 17 points per game.
ON THE MEND: Zanna sat out practice Wednesday because of a stomach virus, however Dixon expects him to be ready to play Thursday.

Large Capacity Card Can Store Many Hours of Video, Music, Still Images, Gaming Content and Other Files
LOS ANGELES, CA, MAY 10, 2006 - SanDisk® Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) today responded to the growing demand from power users of the popular Sony PSP™ (PlayStation® Portable) by introducing a 4-gigabyte (GB)* SanDisk Memory Stick PRO Duo™ Game card that can store up to 64 hours of MP3 music tracks, 20 or more hours of movies/videos/film trailers, 12 hours of game saves, or 4,000 digital still images.** The announcement was made at E3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, where SanDisk is showing its new gaming products in Meeting Rooms 6809 and 6811 in Kentia Hall.
The 4GB card, which is expected to ship this month, carries a suggested retail price (SRP) of $219.99. Other capacities in the Memory Stick PRO Duo Gaming Card line include 256 megabytes (MB)* at $34.99, 512MB at $44.99, 1GB at $59.99 and 2GB at $109.99 (SRPs).
"The PSP has clearly become more than just a gaming device," said Wes Brewer, SanDisk's vice president of consumer products marketing. "Since there is no internal memory for the PSP, a Memory Stick PRO Duo flash card is the only way to store large amounts of entertainment and other files. Now that the PSP has been in the marketplace for over a year, many new services have sprung up to offer downloadable content such as movies, so the users are rapidly demanding higher capacity cards."
The PSP uses a proprietary storage medium called Universal Media Disc (UMD) for movies and games, but UMD discs are neither recordable nor writable.
SanDisk co-developed the Memory Stick PRO format with Sony. Last year, SanDisk introduced the new gaming line of Memory Stick PRO Duo cards in semi-transparent neon colors. The new 4GB card is red.
SanDisk is the original inventor of flash storage cards and is the world's largest supplier of flash data storage card products, using its patented, high-density flash memory and controller technology. SanDisk is headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA and has operations worldwide, with more than half its sales outside the U.S.

Courtesy of Clark University Sports Information
Worcester, Mass. - MIT, the nation's No. 9
team, erased a 14-point first half deficit and escaped with a 54-51
win over host Clark in New England Women's and Men's Athletic
Conference (NEWMAC) men's basketball action on Saturday
afternoon at the Kneller Athletic Center.
With the win, the Engineers move to 15-1 overall and more importantly, 3-0 in league standings while the Cougars fall to 10-6 overall and 1-2 in NEWMAC play.
Clark came out of the gates on fire, grabbing a 17-6 lead less than ten minutes into the game on the strength of nine early points from emerging sophomore Mitch Renshaw, who canned a triple to give the Cougars their double digit advantage.
MIT, meanwhile, started the game 1-for-5 with three turnovers, before freshman Jimmy Burke dropped in a pair of three-pointers to get the Engineer offense going.
The Clark lead grew to 14 at 23-9 following an inside hoop from Jonathan Phillips and fluctuated between ten and 14 for the next eight minutes and stood at 35-21 with under two minutes remaining following an offensive rebound and putback from freshman Marcus Armstrong.
MIT then ran off six straight points - five coming from freshman Mitchell Kates - to steal momentum going into halftime and make the score 35-27 at intermission.
Things continued to head south for the Cougars in the opening moments of the second half as Bill Bender dropped in a three-pointer to even the score at 40-40 with 15 minutes left and then Ben Montgomery gave the Engineers the lead at 42-40 at the 11:56 mark on an inside putback.
Clark actually tied the game at 47 all after Jack Minister picked Burke's pocket and found a streaking Mark Alexander open for an easy hoop.
The Cougars didn't score over the next three minutes, meanwhile, MIT ran off six straight points capped by a pair of Burke free throws.
Alexander found Renshaw underneath for an easy score, making the game 53-49, and then an Alexander fast break finish off of a missed Engineer free throw made the score 53-51 with 13 seconds left.
After being fouled, Burke made his first free throw and missed his second, leaving the door open for overtime, but Alexander's three-pointer from the right side fell short at the buzzer.
MIT shot 50 percent from the field for the game, including 55 percent in the second half, while Clark went cold, connecting on just 29 percent (7-for-24) of its attempts in the second stanza.
Noel Hollingsworth led the Engineer offense with 17 points and six rebounds, while Kates added 12 points and three boards.
Brian Vayda led Clark with 13 points and six boards. Both Alexander (12 points) and Renshaw (11 points) joined him in double figures for the Cougars.
Clark will look to get back in the win column on Tuesday when they host crosstown NEWMAC rival WPI in a game that will be televised live on TV Charter 3. MIT will look to extend its current four-game win streak on Wednesday when it hosts Springfield.

My latest for the Latitudes blog of the New York Times looks at a strange controversy that broke out here last week, shaking up the usually very staid (not to saw cowed) political and media scene and pushing the King to the exceptional step of revoking a royal pardon.
Soon after news of Galván Viña's release appeared on the independent news site Lakome, it spread across social media. Pardons in other countries can be controversial, too, but this one had everything to shock and anger: Here was a Spanish criminal getting away with abusing Moroccan victims, and a royal prerogative trumping the justice system.
Last weekend the colonnaded Avenue Mohammed V in central Rabat echoed with the chants of young protesters ("Long Live the People!" "Down with Perverts!") and their running footsteps, as they dashed away from police squadrons. Other small demonstrations have since taken place in other Moroccan cities.

Striving to become an outstanding provider of services to the Berkeley community, the Public Works Department has become the first in California to achieve national re-accreditation. Awarded by the American Public Works Association (APWA), accreditation requires compliance with over 400 "best practices". The department started evaluating itself against these standards in October 1998. Areas found deficient were improved and the initial accreditation was officially awarded in December 2000.
The award is granted for three years with a mandatory annual update demonstrating continuous service improvement. Renewal of accreditation requires meeting even higher standards of performance. The department has now met these higher standards and qualified for re-accreditation.
The APWA standards cover all areas of public works services, from emergency readiness to street repair, sewer maintenance, stop sign location, and quality of garbage collection. For example, Standard 6.2 requires that procedures be established for communicating with the public, "To facilitate communication, a clear tracking system ensures that all communication or queries from the public, whether written or verbal, are recorded, dated, tracked, and answered. The procedure outlines the method and timing of response to ensure that all communications are answered in a timely way."
Further information concerning APWA accreditation is available at their website at www.apwa.net/About/Accreditation.

County commissioners voted Monday not to put gravel for a school bus route on Quail Creek Rd. between 250th and 260th Rds.
The road is within USD 408, but the proposed change was meant for the transportation of Centre students.
Roads had been improved for bus routes within school districts in the past, but not across districts.
"We've never seen this before," Commissioner Randy Dallke said. "I've got to look at the precedent we're going to set."
Road and Bridge Superintendent Randy Crawford said the gravel alone would cost $16,000, not including construction and maintenance costs.
Economic Development Director Teresa Huffman gave updates for Leadership Marion County (LMC), BarnFest '13, and a future magazine devoted solely to Marion County.
Huffman said she wants more involvement in the LMC program, which currently only has four members. Classes will not begin until February.
Commissioners approved salary increases to public safety dispatcher Megan Chizek for a one-year increase from $12.78 to $13.78 per hour, and treasurer office assistant Rhonda Curry for $2,669 monthly over six months.
The commission also met in two closed sessions, reviewing applications for county appraiser and emergency management director.

Winter Warmer-Upper
Posted on 01/28/2013 by Leeann Donnelly
In the winter months, The Conservatory offers a welcome and toasty respite for folks roaming the grounds around Biltmore House and the Walled Garden. Maybe it's going out on a limb to say it's one of the warmest spots in all of western North Carolina, but certainly it comes pretty close.
The Conservatory's soaring greenhouse design by Biltmore House architect Richard Morris Hunt, has a way of sneaking up on guests despite its 40-foot height and 7,500 square feet. That's because it's located down a steep hill from Biltmore House.
Its position on the lower part of the property protects the building from the harsh winds that roll across the south lawn (terrace) of Biltmore House. Plus, as per the architect's plans, it doesn't distract from the view of the front of Biltmore House. Our visitors today often don't realize the building's majestic beauty until they're practically right up on top of it!
In the winter months, its internal temperatures mimic those of a jungle, with thousands of tropical plants experiencing their peak blooming time. Towering palms and colorful Begonia, Bird of Paradise, Lollipop Plant and Anthurium dazzle on a dreary cold day.
And between now and the end of March, The Orchid Room, located in the southern wing of the building, turns into an absolute showplace with a huge variety of stunning orchids, nurtured and maintained by the Conservatory's crew members.
Stop in for a warm-up!

Three young women who vanished a decade ago near their homes in Cleveland were found only miles from where they disappeared, and three brothers have been arrested in relation to the incident, according to police.
Gina DeJesus, Amanda Berry and Michele Knight were found alive, and Cleveland Police Commander Keith Sulver said all three women were getting medical treatment but seemed to be in good condition.
"All of them are doing well. They all look good," he said. "They're all talking. They're aware of everything that's going on, and we're just very happy that they're safe and in good condition."
Dr. Gerald Maloney with Metro Health Medical Center said tonight that the women were safe and that the hospital was evaluating their medical needs, and how long they'll stay. The spokesman confirmed that the women are in fair condition at the moment.
"This isn't the ending we usually get," Maloney said. "We're very happy, very happy."
The victims are being examined for possible abuse at the hospital, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
Police confirmed to ABC News affiliate WEWS that one of the men taken into custody is 52-year-old Ariel Castro. Police have not released the names of Castro's brother but said they were 50 and 54 years old. Chargers were expected to come within the next 36 hours.
Police have not said how the women were found, but neighbors said they heard cries for help coming from a house, and when they went to investigate kicked open the door of the home to get the women out.
Neighbor Charles Ramsey said that he was eating at McDonald's when he heard a girl screaming.
"I look and I see this girl and she's just going nuts on the door so, I'm like, 'What's your problem? If you're stuck, just open the door.' She said 'I can't, you got it locked,'" he said.
Ramsey said that their attempt to pry the door open failed, so he and his neighbor kicked open the bottom.
"Luckily … it was aluminum, it was cheap," he said, "And she climbed out with her daughter. ... She went to my house, we called 911. When the police got here, she said there are three more girls up there. And that's when Gina DeJesus [came out], and they brought two more girls out."
On a 911 call released tonight Berry can be heard asking police for help.
"Hello police help me I'm Amanda Berry," she said in the call. "I've been kidnapped and I've been missing for 10 years and I'm here. I'm free now. ... I've been in the news for the last 10 years ... with Gina."
Ramsey said the women looked malnourished when they came out of the house.
"They look like they haven't been fed in a long time … They were skinny when they came out of that house," he said.
Ramsey told ABC News that he was shocked when police told them whom he had rescued.
"He said, 'Do you know who you just rescued out of the house?' I said brother, 'a couple of females.' He said no, no, no. 'You got Amanda and you got Gina,'" Ramsey said.
Zayda Delgado, a neighbor, told ABC News that she knew one of the women who was discovered.
"It's an unbelievable day. I'm still like in shock," she said. "They were found together and for Mother's Day. ... This is great."
Delgado said Amanda Berry's mother died in 2006.
"I feel bad because the mother died never knowing that her daughter was still alive," she said.
Berry disappeared at age 16 on April 21, 2003, the day before her 17th birthday. She had called her sister to say she was getting a ride home from her job at a Burger King, The Associated Press reported. About a year later, DeJesus, who was 14 at the time, disappeared on her way home from school.
Knight, who was 21 at the time she disappeared, was last seen leaving her cousin's house on Aug. 23, 2002.
Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson responded quickly to the news of the discovery of the women.
"I am thankful that Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight have been found alive," Jackson said. "We have many unanswered questions regarding this case and the investigation will be ongoing. ... I am thankful that these three young ladies are found and alive."

Working in the museum's permanent collections I focus on artifacts and specimens – after all, that's my job. But it's not just the artifacts and specimens that tell a story around here. It's the people too. Behind all the exhibits and public areas are many folks hard at work to make science and this museum relevant and memorable to you.
Lately, thanks to a recent staff luncheon given by the HMNS Guild and some quick conversations in the halls, I've been able to get caught up with my colleagues to find out what they doing behind the scenes.
In my own home department of Collections, Dr. Dirk Van Tuerenhout recently gave a lecture on the Birth of Christianity exhibit in the IMAX. (You can read blog posts by Dirk here.)
Dr. Dan Brooks just co-authored an article on the birds of the Pongos Basin in the Peruvian Andes, published in the Wilson Journal of Ornithology. (You can read blog posts by Dan here.) Several HMNS specimens were cited in the article, which is very cool. (Plus, I learned what a pongo is. Look it up for yourself and impress your friends and neighbors.)
The anthropology section in collections storage has been organized and practically transformed by Beth. She has ensured that all those wondrous artifacts are properly labeled, stored, and easily located. You have no idea how much work this entailed! Imagine having all of your stuff from attic to basement labeled and neatly put away – with a color-coded key map. Truly, my cold registrar's heart is warmed and I get a little misty-eyed just thinking about it.
Anytime you get an in-house phone call that begins with, "I hate to bother you but" you know that intro is going to end with "do you know where David Temple is?". And I do know for certain that he's been up in Seymour working on the museum's ongoing dino dig with Dr. Bakker (read his posts here). I doubled-checked with his wife Nicole.
When I climb upstairs to run some mail through the meter I notice it's pretty calm in the Admin offices. I think they've all finally rested up from last week's very successful fundraising gala. Poking my head into Kat's office for a quick chat I found out that the education department is immersed in HMNS overnights, teachers' workshops, and getting prepared for a full summer of a multitude of classes. Don't forget to register your kids pronto, those classes fill up fast.
Next, I quickly check on lunch plans with Tammy, manager of the museum's mineral and fossil shop, who's busy with all sorts of new specimens and arranging them in the cases. She also provided her expertise at the gala's mineral and fossil auction. Passing by the museum's visitor services desk I stop briefly to see if I have any mail. It's been a really busy day, probably due to the start of spring break, and Martha's expression says it all.
There are some odds-and-ends photographs I need to drop off to the Volunteer Office, an always-upbeat place. They're happy to have found good homes for all the beardies but were so bereft without them, they bought one at the gala. He's been aptly named Ka-ching.
Lynn tells me the volunteers are eagerly studying up on the coming exhibits of The Nature of Diamonds and Terra Cotta Warriors: Guardians of China's First Emperor. Karen's in the midst of interviewing Ecoteen applicants and Araceli's booking birthday parties. Sybil was surrounded by volunteers so I'll catch up with her later.
I actually don't need anything from the exhibits guys, I'm just curious to see what they're working on. Today they are preparing one of our exhibit halls for the upcoming Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit. Mike and Glen are repairing some walls and ceiling tiles. Soon they'll be full bore into construction and layout. Preston and Lex pour over exhibit floor plans.
The last colleague I touch base with is Christine, our live animal program manager. She's been out to a school with our Wildlife on Wheels program, sounds like the first-graders were adorable. Next she demonstrates the Blue-footed Booby bird dance. We both crack up. I head back to the relative quiet of Collections knowing that even though I only spoke to a small portion of the staff, and not at any great length, this museum, along with its artifacts and specimens, is in excellent hands.

The lines between exercise and entertainment have blurred considerably over the past several years. One case in point for consumers is the Nintendo Wii Fit. For clubs, the landscape includes varying technologies working together to combine entertainment, exercise and motivation into a multimedia experience for members. The best clubs choose platforms that merge exercise modes with complimentary technology. Rare is the club these days that does not have integrated TV screens and/or music/video docking stations on its cardio equipment, a full entertainment interface for electronic equipment, or customizable solutions for each user to select playlists, create custom workouts, watch live TV and access on-demand video.
The road to finding the sweet spot for exercise technology and entertainment is filled with potholes that have been patched, in many cases, in an effort to keep up with the rapidly changing consumer-technology industry. This is being driven by the rapid evolution of consumer entertainment options and complicated in-club platform choices.
It might make sense for health clubs to pick a technology partner and not look back. The upside to this is consistency and a standard operating environment. However, the downside is that once you've made a choice, you may well have to live with it.
The other possibility is for equipment manufacturers to band together to create and promote standardization around entertainment technology — certainly a stretch in today's competitive environment. When dealing with behemoths like Apple, Google and Yahoo, it is also unlikely that our much smaller industry can force them to adopt an industry standard. Health care entities are doing this, but the sheer financial numbers that that industry generates dwarf those in ours.
Another forward-thinking solution might be for leading manufacturers to jointly create their own technology hub device. They could create a high-volume, low-cost system that can be mass produced and shared among competitors. Done correctly, this could be marketed to consumers as a standard they want to buy. Think of a chip that supports iPod, Zune, USB media and Wi-Fi in one package. Given the highly competitive environment, the right technology interface must allow some customization when partnering with content and other technology-delivery mechanisms.
This idea may be a bit of a stretch, but consider the greater opportunities. Club and manufacturing partners could collaborate with — rather than be controlled by — technology partners to keep fitness content and branding in the minds of your customers wherever they live, work and play. It's no secret that the best technology companies are great at reaching millions.
A critical consideration in this equation is who "owns" the customer. Most large technology companies want to own the hearts and minds of as many people as possible. Given so, our industry may have to give up some level of control when partnering with a technology leader. It may result in the inner workings of a treadmill being manufactured by fitness equipment vendors while the brains (media, programs, etc.) are manufactured by, or are in collaboration with, brand-technology partners.
This may sound like a deal with the devil, but there also is a potentially significant upside — the enormous consumer reach that name-brand technology companies have. While giving up some control, you may be able to cast a much larger net to capture customers.
Some fitness companies already are in partnership conversations. In the end, you should also consider jointly sharing and owning customer mind-share rather than going it alone.

At last week's Williston Council meeting, Councilor Debra Jones admonished local candidates to adhere to a resolution the council passed in 2003 that called for proper conduct in public settings.
We agree, but we want to see it taken one step further. We want the council to lead by example and challenge those who come to their meetings to do the same.
The last several city council meetings have, at times, been chaotic.
Too many people have spoken at once, trying to drown out someone else. Council members have engaged in sidebars with one another while residents were addressing them. There's been banter between council members and the audience. Audience members have become hecklers and carry on conversations with one another while business has been conducted.
Enough. We challenge the council president to use his gavel, restore and maintain order and conduct city business in an orderly, civilized manner.
Lead by example and others will follow.

The Microfluidics and Nanofluidics Handbook: Two-Volume Set comprehensively captures the cross-disciplinary breadth of micro- and nanofluidics, which encompass the biological sciences, chemistry, physics and engineering applications. To fill the knowledge gap between engineering and the basic sciences, the editors pulled together key individuals, well known in their respective areas, to author chapters that help graduate students, scientists, and practicing engineers understand the overall area of microfluidics and nanofluidics.
Covering physics and transport phenomena along with life sciences and related applications, Volume One: Chemistry, Physics, and Life Science Principles provides readers with the fundamental science background that are required for the study of microfluidics and nanofluidics. Volume Two: Fabrication, Implementation, and Applications focuses on topics related to experimental and numerical methods, followed by chapters on fabrications and other applications, ranging from aerospace to biological systems. Both volumes include as much interdisciplinary knowledge as possible to reflect the inherent nature of this area, making them valuable to students and practitioners.

HARRISBURG - Some Senate Democrats say Republican Gov. Tom Corbett is underestimating the proliferation of wine and beer stores his liquor privatization plan would allow.
Corbett predicts 5,000 retailers would buy the licenses, enhancing customer convenience. But Sen. Jim Ferlo, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Law and Justice Committee, said Thursday at least twice that many businesses will qualify.
He said it would compound social problems and crime in city neighborhoods and college towns.
There's no limit on how many wine-and-beer licenses could be sold to retailers, including big-box stores, groceries and pharmacies, but license-holders would face annual fees and varying limits on how much they may sell at a time.
Corbett spokesman Eric Shirk says the administration's consultant bases its estimate of 5,000 stores on the experience of other states.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil futures slipped Thursday, with prospects becoming dimmer that U.S. lawmakers will find a way to reach a budget agreement before the end of the year. Crude for February delivery CLG23, -51.01% shed 11 cents to settle at $90.87 a barrel. The market saw "very choppy trade," during the session, said Tariq Zahir, managing member of Tyche Capital Advisors. "Everything is going to be focused on the fiscal cliff," he said, referring to the package of tax increases and spending cuts set to hit the economy on Jan. 1 unless there's a budget agreement. "We're kind of in a holding pattern...[and] we'll continue to see that as we go through the end of the year or until some kind of fiscal deal is announced," he said. Late Thursday, the American Petroleum Institute will release data on U.S. petroleum supplies covering the week ended Dec. 21, and more closely watched data from the Energy Information Administration are due Friday morning.

I love it! :)
I am not a modder as yet, but an aspiring voice actor. Now, I have never done any voice acting stuff, but it´s never to late to try I think. I wont start with this project right away, but I will in the future. Right about now I have neither the equipment nor the skills for it, but I will in the near future. So for now, I´m just going to follow what my hubby is doing here, and see if I ever get the nerve to talk in public so to speak.

|Strathmere, NJ during Hurricane Sandy - October 29, 2012
This is the street where my aunt and uncle's beach house is,
where we vacation each year. You can see their house in the distance, I think.
"The beach is a haze and old love's a ghost
Hugo is twisting his way up the coast
If you blew out to sea I'd love you most
And we just got here, we just got here
We just arrived ...."
I can't stay away from it either.
Here in Pittsburgh, we are not directly in the path of the hurricane. We're feeling more than the residual effects, absolutely. It's raining, and the winds are kicking up, and we just got word that the kids will have no school tomorrow.
But as regular readers know, I'm a Philly girl who vacations on the Jersey coast where Sandy reportedly just made landfall and who most recently lived in Delaware. Practically everyone in my life is there. (Except for The Husband's parents, who are with us for the next 10 days because of The Husband's surgery on Thursday.)
Still, even watching this coverage from more than 400 miles away, I am heartsick at this.
Absolutely heartsick.
How do you people in Florida and along the Gulf Coast do this, time after time?
I think I am beginning to understand the answer to that. I confess, I never quite understood that before today.
You stay because you are rooted in place, in memory and history, right? Because that place and those memories have become part of you, embedded in your soul?
Because you know, you hope, you need to believe in better days?

The subject of endless pop culture references and mash-ups, few album covers can be as myth-soaked as The Beatles' 'Abbey Road'. This was where the 'Paul is dead' theories really gained momentum as the cover was pored over for hints and runes – and plenty were found. Everything from the number of trees to The Beatles' garb appeared to 'prove' Macca had checked out on that fateful November morning in 1966.
Another image from the shoot was sold at auction in London today (22 May) for £16,000. The 'backwards' photo features The Beatles crossing the road in the other direction, and this time Paul McCartney – oh so significantly – is wearing sandals. To find out why this matters, and more bewildering facts about the cover, examine the image below, and hover over the tags to reveal the info.

PITTSBURGH (AP) � Don't blame history. Don't blame 19 years of bad mojo. Clint Hurdle and the Pittsburgh Pirates don't want to hear it.
Following a 4-0 loss to Atlanta on Wednesday that left with the Pirates with a 79-83 record that extended their ignominious streak of under-.500 seasons to an even 20 in a row, the straight-talking manager offered no excuses about another promising summer gone awry.
"We needed to win more games," he said. "Our goal was to win more games."
Something the Pirates didn't do enough of down the stretch. Pittsburgh was 62-46 on Aug. 8 before fading to a 17-37 finish.
A lot of the losses looked like their four-hit performance in the finale. The Pirates could muster little offensively against a steady stream of Atlanta pitchers � including the retiring Ben Sheets � and offer little support of starter A.J. Burnett (16-10), who gave up four runs in 5 2-3 innings.
"You have to try and take some positives from it," said centerfield Andrew McCutchen, who had one hit in the finale to finish second behind San Francisco's Buster Posey for the NL batting title with a .327 average. "Every year is hard to take when you don't end up where you want to be. Every year is tough."
This one, perhaps, tougher than most.
The Pirates were the talk of baseball over the summer behind a pitching staff that flourished behind Burnett, who embraced the roll of ace the team desperately needed. He won eight straight decisions in the spring but tailed off over the final two months and couldn't avoid his fifth loss in his six starts, though he exited to a warm ovation.
"I thought he had an exceptional season," Hurdle said of Burnett. "He took ownership of the trade, the career, the opportunity to re-ignite himself."
Something the playoff-bound Braves know a little bit about. Jason Heyward singled twice and scored two runs and Luis Avilan (1-0) picked up the victory but the day belonged to a pair of veterans making one last stand.
Third baseman Chipper Jones provided a dose of magic in his final regular season game while Sheets went down throwing in his last major league appearance.
A large number of Atlanta fans showed up to bid the retirement-bound Jones farewell, though it appeared their only glimpse of Jones would come when he handed the lineup card to umpires. The 40-year-old planned on sitting out a second straight game to get some rest before the playoffs, but was inserted as a pinch hitter leading off the sixth.
The switch-hitting Jones didn't waste any time. Standing in as a left-hander against Burnett, Jones slapped the first pitch he saw to right field for a single for the 2,726th and final regular-season hit of his career. Jones stuck around to eventually score on a single by Brian McCann that put Atlanta up 3-0.
"I'd like to thank A.J. for coming right at me," Jones said with a laugh.
That was more than enough to send the Braves into the postseason on an up note and send Sheets out a winner in his final game.
The four-time All-Star was in the midst of an admirable comeback from a series of arm injuries this summer � going 4-4 with a 3.54 ERA � before heading to the disabled list in August with right shoulder issues.
He announced earlier this week he had no plans on sticking around for the postseason, but eagerly accepted a chance to walk into retirement on his own terms after the Braves opted to rest scheduled starter Tim Hudson.
Sheets had little trouble during his one inning of work, striking out Starling Marte and McCutchen, the final pitch of his career a 96 mph fastball McCutchen couldn't get his bat on.
""It felt great," Sheets said. "It was as good as anything I could probably draw up."
Sheets will watch Atlanta's postseason run on television and has no plans to try and grab a bullpen job somewhere next year, saying only "dude, I'm good."
So are the 94-win Braves, who are heading into the postseason with some momentum after a stunning collapse last fall forced them to watch the playoffs on television.
Instead of swooning down the stretch this year, they've surged. Atlanta is 20-10 since Sept. 1.
"A little bit different than last year as I recall," Jones said. "I think we'll look back on (last) September as a learning experience. No better example of that than the way we played this September."

The floodwaters, in many cases, have simply been too high.
The sprawling network of levees – built over many years to protect the Upper Mississippi basin from the sort of disastrous flooding that has claimed homes, lives, and millions of acres of farmland this past week – was never designed to withstand the magnitude of a 500-year flood.
And so towns like Gulfport, Ill., and Alexandria, Mo., have watched as waters spilled over the tops of levees that were supposed to keep them dry. [Editor's note: The original version misstated one of the towns referenced.]
The flooding has raised questions about the adequacy of the patchwork system – in which little information is known about where levees exist, who maintains them, and what their condition is – even as towns downstream hurry to fortify their own levees in preparation for the cresting floodwaters still moving south.
"Nature has its way of upping the ante," says Eric Halpin, special assistant for dam safety and levee safety with the US Army Corps of Engineers. "This storm proved that even if we had built levees to the floods of record, they would have been overwhelmed by this event."
So far, at least 20 levees along the Mississippi have overtopped this week, and another 20 to 30 are at risk.
It is too soon, say officials, to determine which ones may have failed before the water spilled over the top and which ones breached due to weakening after the water had overflowed.
Each day brings news of more levees overtopped or breached. Some are smaller agricultural levees built to 30- or 40-year flood standards, while others are higher, designed to protect river towns.
Already, the flood seems likely to equal or exceed the 1993 floods that wreaked havoc in these states, taking 48 lives and causing more than $20 billion in damage. On Thursday, President Bush was expected to tour flooded Iowa counties.
The news of so many levees overtopping or breaching can come as a shock to residents who felt safe behind their walls.
But experts say it's hardly surprising, especially given the low standards to which most levees are built.
To qualify for the National Flood Insurance Program, structures simply need to be behind a levee built to a so-called 100-year standard, meaning there is a 1 percent chance in any given year that a flood will rise above the levee. In the Netherlands, on the other hand, levees for ocean flooding are built to a 10,000-year standard, and inland levees are designed at least to a 250-year standard and usually in excess of 1,250 years.
"Around the world, the 100-year standard is a joke," says John Barry, author of "Rising Tide," his book about the Mississippi River flood of 1927, and a member of a flood control authority that oversees six levee districts in metropolitan New Orleans. "We invest on the cheap."
Numerous things can cause a levee to fail, say experts: The wrong material may have been used, a channel could have been created by a rotting log, or the foundation may fail due to unstable ground. Even putting sandbags atop a levee to increase its height – as dozens of riverside communities are doing this week – can weaken a levee, as people and bags add strain and create weak spots. Once a levee has been overtopped, breaching is fairly common, as the rushing water washes away the backside.
"There will be a lot of repairs required as a result of this," says Gerry Galloway, a retired brigadier general with the US Army and an engineering professor at the University of Maryland, who led a widely acclaimed study of the 1993 floods. "The challenge is to get the levees back before the next flood season."
In the aftermath of the 1993 floods, the Corps repaired 23 miles worth of levee breaks, says Ron Fournier, a spokesperson for the Corp's Rock Island District. But the levees remain pretty much the same. "It's repaired, but it's not a systemic system that manages flood control, it's a patchwork of different systems," he says, noting that significantly improving the system could be costly.
Several lessons and recommendations emerged from the 1993 floods, but few have been acted upon, says Mr. Galloway.
One of the key lessons: that the loose amalgam of federal and non-federal levees wasn't sufficiently monitored or maintained. No one knows how many levees exist or what their condition is, and most are turned over to local communities after being built.
Galloway recommended that the government develop an inventory and inspection system for levees similar to the one it created for dams in the 1970s. Congress finally agreed after Katrina to start such a program, but lawmakers have yet to appropriate sufficient money, Galloway says.
"We also indicated that critical infrastructure" – hospitals, nursing homes, fire and police departments – "was not supposed to be in the flood plain," says Galloway. "But we've continuously ignored that."
One community did decide to move the entire town to higher ground after the 1993 floods. This week, residents of Valmeyer, Ill., are looking down at the raging river from the bluffs they now sit atop, instead of from the plain where their town was largely washed away 15 years ago.
Such an approach is what a some advocates would like to see more of. Any structural system like levees is always going to be inadequate, say some environmentalists and engineers, and it interferes with the river's natural ability to deal with flooding by overflowing into wetlands and floodplains.
"This type of structural work creates a false sense of security for those relying on it to protect them from these waters," says Erich Pica, director of domestic programs for Friends of the Earth, an environmental group that wants federal money used to help move people out of the 100-year flood plain and advocates denying insurance for those who insist on living there.
"We need to face the reality that these floods are going to occur, and maybe the best solution is to move out of the way instead of trying to contain Mother Nature," he says.

Jessica Alba was one of the many fashionable stars to attend the 2015 Met Gala in New York City tonight (May 4).
For the grand affair, Jessica wore a Kenzo gown, paired with a Kenzo tiger paw clutch and Kenzo sandals.
While I certainly see how this gown fits into the night's theme, unfortunately it just doesn't seem to fit Jessica's body. It really feels a bit too big for her petite frame, and I feel some alterations might completely change my feelings about this look–because right now, it's pretty 'meh'.
I do love the editorial nature of the paw clutch, and as usual, Jessica's makeup is perfectly bronzed and totally on-point. I also love that she's gone a bit left field from her norm with a shimmery pastel eyeshadow.

I read that the way to change your user-name is to just make a new account. If that's true then I should do so before I participate much further. I don't want to just TP my given name (Bill/janPilu?), nor do I want to TP my longtime screen name (Baerdric/janPeturika?). What I would like to do is translate Baerdric into toki pona. Baerdric is one of maybe 200 words I put into a temporary conlang in the early 90s. It means redbeard, (because my beard was actually red before it suddenly went white). But janSinpinLinjaLoje (is that right?) is quite a mouthful.
Any other suggestions? Or should I just keep what I have?

This is a fine restaurant. I have never been to Myanmar, so I can not claim to know how authentic the Burmese cuisine is at Sun. However, the dishes offered are quite varied and everything I have ordered has been delicious.
The vegan friendly the menu is a real plus, with markings to denote anything that is or can be made vegan.

Is $\mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}) = \mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3})$?
How would one describe elements from $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}]$ and $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3}]$?
I was under the mistaken impression, that if $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{2}]$ elements are $a+b\sqrt{2} \mid a,b \in \mathbb{Q}$, then $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}]$ elements would be be $a+b(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}) \mid a,b \in \mathbb{Q} $ , but that is not correct.
Similarly, I am unsure, what exactly $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3}]$ means. Surely, it does not mean the obvious $a+b\sqrt{2}+c\sqrt{3}) \mid a,b,c \in \mathbb{Q} $?
From what little I understand, the correct answer is that both sets are described by $a+b\sqrt{2}+c\sqrt{3}+d\sqrt{6} \mid a,b,c,d \in \mathbb{Q}$ and this is basis, but how do we get there?
This was an extra credit assignment in Number Theory course as the lecturer did not cover the subject.
EDIT: We use Ireland and Rosen's A Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory, where on p.69 it is stated that we denote by $\mathbb{Q}[\alpha]$ the ring of polynomials in $\alpha$ with rational coefficients and then immediately it is proven that when $\alpha$ is in a ring of algebric integers $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ = $\mathbb{Q}[\alpha]$ That still leaves me unclear on what $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3}]$ means, because $\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3}$ can not be an algebraic number, it is a tuple, a vector but not a single number.
Thanks for the answers guys, but it looks like a very similar question was posted last year: Is $\mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}) = \mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3})$? so I suppose my question should be merged and I should make a more basic question about meaning of $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3}]$

WEDNESDAY, July 18, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- Taking vitamin B12 supplements may help boost the effectiveness of antiviral drugs for patients infected with hepatitis C virus, a new study suggests.
This effect was especially strong in patients whose infection was particularly tough to treat, note Italian researchers led by Dr. Gerardo Nardone of the University of Naples.
According to Nardone's team, the standard treatment of two drugs -- interferon (peg IFN) and ribavarin -- clears the virus in about 50 percent of patients infected with strain 1 of the virus and 80 percent of those infected with strains 2 or 3.
However, that means that the treatment still does not clear hepatitis C in about half of all patients infected with the virus or if the infection returns once treatment ends.
The new study included 94 patients with hepatitis C infection who were randomly assigned to receive standard treatment with antiviral drugs or standard treatment plus 5,000 micrograms of vitamin B12 every month for between six and 12 months.
The ability of the patients' bodies to clear the virus was assessed after one month and three months (dubbed a "rapid viral response"), at the end of treatment ("complete early viral response"), and six months after the end of treatment ("sustained viral response").
After one month of treatment, there was no difference in response between patients receiving standard treatment and those receiving standard treatment plus vitamin B12. However, patients receiving vitamin B12 showed significantly greater response at all of the other time points, particularly by six months after the end of treatment.
Overall, adding vitamin B12 to standard treatment strengthened the rate of long-term, sustained viral response by 34 percent, the researchers noted.
The investigators also found that the increased response associated with taking vitamin B12 was particularly strong in patients with the type 1 strain of hepatitis C and in those with higher levels of infection.
The addition of vitamin B12 to treatment with current antiviral drugs offers a safe and inexpensive option until new-generation antiviral drugs become available or if those new treatments are too expensive, the researchers concluded.
Two U.S. experts were more dubious as they weighed in on the findings.
Dr. David Bernstein is chief of the division of hepatology at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y. He noted that for patients with strains 2 and 3 of the virus, adding vitamin B12 "was not of any value."
As for patients with strain 1 of the virus, Bernstein said the standard of care is now a three-drug regimen of pegylated interferon plus ribavirin plus a protease inhibitor drug, not the two-drug regimen used in this study. So, "while the information presented in this study is interesting in genotype [strain] 1 patients . . . what would be more interesting would be the addition of vitamin B12 to the current standard of care therapy of pegylated interferon plus ribavirin plus a protease inhibitor," Bernstein said.
Dr. Peter Malet, director of the Center for Liver Diseases, and a hepatologist at Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y., agreed.
"This research is very preliminary; it needs to be confirmed or refuted by other studies," he said.
The study was published online July 17 in the journal Gut.

Charlotte-based software firm Verian Technologies broke ground Friday on a new 25,000-square-foot headquarters facility in Indian Land.
The firm, a leading producer of purchase-to-pay automation solutions for business, was recently recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in Charlotte by the Charlotte Business Journal.
The new facility is located in the 22.5 acre Rosemont Office Park off S.C. 160, a project also being developed by company owners Tehseen Ali Dahya, Bilal Soylu and Bhavin Shah.
INDIAN LAND – Red Ventures has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in the region.
The Charlotte Business Journal featured the Indian Land-based Internet marketing and sales firm as part of its Fast 50 ranking, which was announced last month.
Companies applied for inclusion by submitting nominations that included financial performance. Companies had to have annual revenue of at least $1 million in 2009 and be based in the 16-county Charlotte region.
