It was late when Steen and Peder Mondrup arrived at the finish line. But it was loud. The crowd went crazy as the 34-year-old twins came down the red carpet in front of Christiansborg Castle. Their finish was one of the most spectacular at KMD IRONMAN Copenhagen, comparable with that of Danish winner Henrik Hyldelund. The twins came out of the darkness of the run course into the bright lights of the finish line 15:42:38 after they had started.
Team Hoyt
In 1989, Team Hoyt tackled the IRONMAN World Championship for the first time to write an unbelievable part of triathlon history. Dick Hoyt pulled, pedaled and pushed his disabled son Rick through the course in 14:26:08. Since they had started running, cycling and competing in triathlon events together, Team Hoyt has competed in more than 250 triathlons, including six IRONMAN races. In 2008 they were inducted to the IRONMAN Hall of Fame.
Team Hoyt inspired Steen Mondrup. A couple of years ago the Dane discovered a video on YouTube that featured Team Hoyt. Steen was fascinated by the love and the strong bond between father and son and started to ask himself why he couldn't do the same thing for his his disabled twin brother, Peder.
When Peder and Steen Mondrup were born in January, 1980, the were three months early and weighed only 1,200 g each. Steen has no disabilities, but Peder is confined to a wheelchair due to lack of oxygen during birth. After starting to run together, they decided to take on the biggest challenge of their live as twins—completing an IRONMAN event.
On race day Steen pulled his brother through the swim at Amager beach park in a kayak, finishing in a remarkable 1:31:12. It took Team Twin 8:16:54 to finish the windy ride through the surrounding area of the capital city of Denmark and through numerous rolling hills on their custom made bicycle. Despite the challenge, they were inspired by the overwhelming support on the course.
"My body works just as hard at Steen's does in a race," says Peder. "I have to focus on staying upright and to relax as much as possible to keep my spasms at ease."
Despite all the challenges, they had fun along the way—spectators saw them laughing and joking with each other during their journey which finally ended after a 5:28 marathon.
Now the Mondrup twins want to pursue their dream and offer people with different handicaps the chance to participate in sports and other sports events. They want to give disabled people the chance to feel the joy and pride of racing and crossing a finish line.
"Hopefully we can arrange the world's first triathlon training camps for disabled in 2015," Steen says. To that end they have established the non-profit Team Twin Association. "We are really excited about this next step for Team Twin. The work has already begun and will now get our full attention." Crossing the finish line at KMD IRONMAN Copenhagen was just the beginning.

|Red Sox
|Blue Jays
TORONTO — Clay Buchholz pitched brilliantly again for the Red Sox on Wednesday night, throwing seven shutout innings against the Toronto Blue Jays in a 10-1 victory.
Buchholz is 6-0 with a 1.01 earned run average. It's the best start for a Red Sox pitcher since Roger Clemens had an 0.73 ERA after six starts in 1991. All Clemens did that season was win the Cy Young Award.
Buchholz stood in front of his locker after the game and answered questions from a group of reporters about his performance. As the session broke up, Buchholz laughed.
"You know what's really good about this year?" he asked. "Not having to pitch to Mike Napoli any more."
On a night when Buchholz was dominant, Napoli's two mammoth home runs were the talk of the clubhouse.
The first was a solo shot in the fourth inning off Mark Buehrle that landed in a standing room area in straightaway center field. ESPN's Home Run Tracker estimated it at 472 feet.
The Blue Jays intentionally walked David Ortiz to get to Napoli with two runners on in the seventh inning. Righthander Esmil Rogers fell behind, 3 and 0.
Napoli looked over to third base coach Brian Butterfield, who relayed a signal from manager John Farrell that he was clear to swing at the next pitch.
"I like doing it. You're mostly going to get a fastball you can try to drive," Napoli said.
Rogers threw a 95-mile-per-hour fastball over the plate and a little high. Napoli hit the ball into the third deck in left-center field, the ball coming to rest in the front row of a section of club seats.
The crowd of 21,094 actually applauded, they were so impressed with the feat.
"There aren't many human beings who can hit a fastball to center field that far," Jonny Gomes said. "I think I saw [former Jays slugger] Carlos Delgado do it once."
"I don't think I've ever seen one up in that area at Rogers Centre," said NESN's Jerry Remy, who has been calling Red Sox games for 26 years.
ESPN had it at 467 feet, which all of the Red Sox scoffed at. "The second one was longer," Will Middlebrooks said.
Napoli thought the second one was longer, too. Not that he cared.
"It wouldn't matter to me if it goes just over the fence," he said. "It's just the same thing."
Napoli had struck out all four times he came up on Tuesday.
"How did you bounce back?" a radio reporter asked him.
"Obviously pretty good," Napoli said, drawing laughs. "I go day by day. I'm able to let things go. I had a rough night but today was a new day. I hit them pretty good"
It was the 11th time Napoli has hit two home runs in a game. He has five on the season to go with 31 RBIs in 27 games.
Mike Carp, Stephen Drew, and Daniel Nava also homered for the Red Sox, who had 15 hits in all. The Sox are 19-8, the best record in baseball, and have won seven of nine.
The Red Sox have hit 16 home runs in five games at the Rogers Centre. They have 15 in their other 22 games.
"I wanted to get up and take a swing," said Shane Victorino, who was out of the lineup with a back injury.
Farrell, who managed the Blue Jays for two seasons, noted that the ball travels well in the ballpark when the retractable roof is closed and the temperature gets warmer.
"The ball definitely flies," Farrell said. "We've got guys that obviously can hit some good fly balls that carry here. This is a very good hitters' ballpark and we were able to put some good swings on some pitches."
Buehrle (1-2) pitched into the seventh inning, giving up five runs on seven hits. He is 0-3 in his last three starts against the Sox, giving up 13 earned runs over 18⅔ innings.
Drew (3 for 5) had a two-run homer in the second inning. Napoli and Nava went back-to-back in the fourth. The Sox scored four times in the seventh and then Carp had a pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning.
Napoli, who is hitting .287, doubled in the ninth and scored on Nava's single.
David Ortiz didn't homer, remarkably enough. But his opposite-field double in the sixth inning extended his hit streak to 22 games going back to last season.
Buchholz is 7-2 with a 1.49 ERA in 10 career starts at the Rogers Centre.
The Jays advanced only one runner into scoring position against him and that wasn't until the seventh inning. The mound here, is his favorite in the league.
Since last June 1, Buchholz is 13-6 with a 2.84 ERA in 25 starts. The righthander is realizing what has always been vast potential.
"It's confidence," he said. "It's being able to throw what your catcher puts down and know it's the right pitch. That's really all it is, a comfortable feeling."
That's a universal emotion for the first-place Red Sox.
"It's a lot of fun to play in this lineup right now," said Nava, who hit seven home runs in his first two seasons and has five this year. "There's good tempo. All cogs are locked in and everything is working the right way."

Watch It: The Brood
Note: Watch It will be a regular feature that highlights films—both mainstream and cult—that need to be rented, downloaded, purchased or stolen—whatever floats your boat, as long as you watch it.
David Cronenberg called The Brood his version of Kramer vs. Kramer, and the comparison is apt in that both films deal with divorce and the trauma that it wreaks upon all concerned. Cronenberg was recovering from a messy divorce himself when he wrote the script, so The Brood proves two things: 1) Art can be wonderfully, brutally cathartic, and 2) if you marry a writer/director, you better be prepared for a very unflattering depiction of yourself if things go bad.

Capital One Gets 'Medieval' With March Madness Marketing
March 15, 2010: Capital One did not waste any time flexing its muscles as the newest Corporate Champion of the NCAA, unveiling a campaign supporting the Division I Men's Basketball tournament that will begin this week. The banking and investment firm has been an official supporter of NCAA football, including title sponsorship of the Capital One Bowl and an annual event seeking the best college mascot.
The move to Corporate Champion puts Capital One in an elite class alongside Coca-Cola and AT&T. The formal expansion into NCAA basketball supports the company's Venture rewards credit card and is anchored by a campaign featuring the fictitious West Eastern State, led by the equally fictitious Ivan Brothers.
In a series of TV spots that will run throughout the basketball tournament, viewers are taken through the history of the brothers, who were discovered during a scouting trip by "head coach Don Holton." The coach was spurred on by a 65-game losing streak to use the travel miles earned on his Venture card "to comb the edges of the earth to find new talent." His journey takes him and his assistant coach deep into the woods of an unknown European country, where he discovers 7' 8" Big Ivan and 7' 2" Little Ivan. The coach finds they can "pass and shoot the rock'" - literally, by tossing heavy stones around. The also seem to have migrated over from a series of Capital One "What's in Your Wallet?" commercials featuring the same type of Viking warriors in modern-day situations.
One spot has actual NCAA coaches, including Jim Boeheim of Syracuse University, Tom Izzo of Michigan State and Roy Williams of North Carolina, describing the on-court presence of the Ivan Brothers, who play in Viking helmets and boots, in such terms as being "scary good." Danny Manning, an assistant coach at Kansas, offers, "It's hard to defend guys who are used to storming castles." The Brothers are still learning the game, as in a clip where one of them attempts to block a free throw attempt and in another where Big Ivan cuts down the basketball net with a hatchet. But they also are shown in class, where they quickly become brilliant students.
Although spots will continue to run through the 2010 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball tournament, where in the ads West Eastern State was seeded No. 15, the Brothers seem to have vanished, apparently leaving the team to move on without them and coach Holton stuck with "questions that have no answers." No one would confirm, though, that the Ivans have permanently disappeared.
Support includes a dedicated section on YouTube. Fan clubs for the Ivans also have sprouted at colleges nationwide. Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal + Partners is lead agency for the majority of marketing for Capital One.
The Venture Card from Capital One is a rewards credit card that offers double miles on every purchase, which can be used for airfare, cruise tickets, hotel stays, or rental cars from any Web site or travel agency.

Getting Inside the Heads of Students With Asperger Syndrome
Understanding what's going on inside a student's head is gold for a teacher. I can help you see from the perspective of a child with Asperger Syndrome or "AS." I have AS and so does my son, Drew.
Early in elementary school, I dutifully passed my spelling test to another student. The teacher called out the answers and each student graded his neighbor's paper. When I got my test back, the little girl next to me had drawn a line across a "u" to make it an "a" so she could mark an answer wrong.
I was stunned. How could anyone do that? Would the teacher believe me if I told her? I sat frozen in my seat and said nothing.
I understand now that this was one of the ways Asperger Syndrome can affect children. They can be overwhelmed by emotional situations. Some become agitated. I froze. It took me years to overcome that reaction.
More and more progressive school systems have programs to help teachers understand students with Asperger Syndrome and other Autism Spectrum Disorders. Others are leaving teachers to learn on their own. Mainstream classroom teachers are seeing more students with AS than other forms of autism, because kids with AS tend to have normal to superior intelligence and be placed with typical peers. They often emerge as some of the brightest kids in a class, coming up with innovative solutions others don't see.
But the atypical way Asperger-influenced brains work can cause teachers to misinterpret a child's intent. Long before his AS diagnosis at age 14, Drew demonstrated an exceptional memory in schoolwork. He'd learn his assigned lessons and more, but when the teacher called on him, he'd try to tell everything he knew. He was especially animated when he got to talk about one of his special interests, Greek mythology. Sometimes he'd blurt out an answer without being called on.
It was easy to assume that he was being willfully disrespectful, but such Asperger-generated impulses are very hard to control. People with AS often have to work to learn social skills that others pick up by observing. It can be like everyone else is speaking in secret code. You hear and think you understand, but people are upset by your attempts to respond. So you get scolded by teachers and teased or ignored by classmates. When you try to make conversation, you drive away potential friends by lecturing when you should be listening. You're desperately using the only tools you know.
My wife and I started producing videos about Asperger Syndrome after Drew was diagnosed. We found his school situation improved dramatically when teachers and classmates were shown how Asperger Syndrome affected Drew and others.
Asperger Syndrome offers a smorgasbord of symptoms in different combinations too numerous to list in detail here. It's helpful to meet with a student's parents, learn how AS affects that student, and use what you learn to work out your strategies.
"Drew's teachers effectively used a strategy I call "teaching forward." You identify a challenging behavior and have the student practice replacing it with a desired behavior. Get the student's parents in on the practice. Drew didn't react well to having his behaviors corrected and criticized in class. It could make him tune out, and repeat the mistake later. But having Drew think about a desired behavior and practice it ahead of time made it more likely he could remember in class. A teacher and student also can work out private cues to correct a behavior without interrupting the class. If a student's answer is too long, you can walk over and stand in front of his desk, signaling him to stop talking.
Often special instruction outside of class is helpful. Just about every student with AS will benefit from some form of social skills training that helps him "rewire" his brain.
As you can imagine, if students with Asperger Syndrome don't learn to manage challenging tendencies in school, after graduation they have tremendous difficulty finding and keeping a job and maintaining relationships.
Teachers are in a unique position to help them break through the wall that hides their talent and potential. Thanks in no small part to great teachers, Drew has graduated from college, is working, owns his own condo, and has a circle of friends.
I wasn't diagnosed until 2009. My teachers never knew I had Asperger Syndrome. But they believed in me and helped me overcome my Asperger tendencies, even without a label. I've had a great career in broadcasting and public relations and now run my own business with a wife I adore. We have two terrific adult children.
Drew recently observed to his mom, "Teachers were the best thing about school." They made the effort to see things as he saw them. If you do the same, you could be the teacher who gives a student with Asperger Syndrome what he absolutely needs to succeed.
Six Asperger Tips for Teachers
- Discover the strengths of a student with Asperger Syndrome and incorporate them into his class work as motivation. If he loves astronomy, you could give him a math project about the distances between planets. A student with a special interest in geography might be allowed to teach part of a lesson that involves geography.
- Take active steps to prevent bullying. Students with Asperger Syndrome tend to be easy targets and are frequently teased or harassed.
- Offer clear instructions and assignments and check periodically to ensure a student with Asperger Syndrome understands them. Students with AS tend to take things literally, have difficulty with implied meanings, and have difficulty asking for help.
- Establish a safe place and a safe person (such as a counselor) that a student can seek out to calm himself if he gets overwrought.
- Accommodate a student's sensitivities. Some people with Asperger Syndrome are hyper-sensitive to touch or bright lights or loud noises. Take this into account in classroom seating and activities.
- Help your student transition to the outside world. In everything you do, keep in mind how it will help him succeed on his own after graduation.

With World Aids Day around the corner, Little Annie aptly releases a video for one of the most powerful, sentimental and alluring album tracks on Genderful, Billy Martin Requiem. December 1 marks the 22nd annual World AIDS Day, and while there is still no "cure" for or viable vaccine against HIV, the positive strides made battling the virus over the last few years are undeniable. New drugs are making what was a death sentence now a manageable - if serious and chronic - condition. Generic versions of these medications, along with ambitious public health policies are helping make real inroads against the disease in the developing world. There is space for much optimism this year. But what's lost sometimes with the good news is a space to contemplate what has been lost to us - irrevocably. The talent unrealized, the creativity and vitality extinguished, the knowledge and experience that won't be passed on to new generations - this was and continues to be the fall out from the AIDS epidemic.
Which brings us to Little Annie and her song/video "Billy Martin Requiem". This astonishing track - from Genderful, her collaboration with Paul Wallfisch (Southern Records) - is perhaps the most New York centered selection on this most NYCentric collection. It is a song that Annie says she has been trying to write for years. For how does one address the catastrophe of AIDS without falling prey to either to platitudes and cheap sentiment or to the black void of grief? If you're Annie you do so with humor, compassion and most knowing sadness. She did, after all, see it all back in the day. She cut her teeth on the downtown music/art scene - back in the bad, old days of the late 1970's when the Big Apple was a bankrupt, crime-ridden, graffiti-tagged Hell. (Unless of course you were an artist, a free spirit, a thinker and/or a gay man - in which case that Hell was Heaven.) And she was in the trenches of what she calls "the war", and watched as - to paraphrase Allen Ginsberg - the best minds of a generation disappeared.
Over a sexy, loping groove Annie sets herself adrift on her own stream of consciousness - her mind flowing back to the day. Back to her youth in Yonkers - just north of The Bronx, back to Yankee Stadium - which her train would pass as she headed south and then back to Billy Martin, the Yankees' ill-starred manager who would die in a drunk driving accident. "No they don't make 'em like Billy anymore", sings Annie. From there she neatly segues to the male disco diva Sylvester, whose "high pitched call to glamour" was the soundtrack to her youth, to the gay men God lead her to and so many of whom would be lost to AIDS. "And though it hurts like hell to say it, he was only one of millions. They don't make them like Sylvester anymore" says Annie before launching in a role call of great artists lost to HIV. The song is elegant and simple and gently devastating
Danny McKernan's video for "Billy Martin Requiem" is likewise elegant, simple and powerful - hearkening back to the days when promo clips where about the happy collision of a great song, a charismatic performer and film maker with a vision, as opposed to the bloated/vacant visual intravaganzas our eyes/ears are more often than not subjected to these days.
Both the song and the video gently ask the audience to never forget what is missing from this world due to HIV, and to remember the brilliance that has passed from our midst.

Stocks closed down, although off the lows of the day, as tech stocks dragged down the market amid high oil prices and continued turmoil in the Middle East.
TheDow Jones Industrial Average fell 79.85 points, or 0.66 percent, to close at 12,090.03, during a volatile session. The Dow had risen as much as 70 points early in the day, and fallen more than 128 by mid-afternoon.
Among Dow components, Alcoa , Intel and Hewlett-Packard slid, while McDonald's and 3M gained.
The S&P 500 slumped 11.02 points, or 0.83 percent, to close at 1,310.13, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 39.04 points, or 1.4 percent, to close at 2,745.63. The The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, rose above 20.
Most key S&P 500 sectors fell, led by materials, technology and health care.
Oil prices set the tone for the market again. Prices initially rose to new 2-½-year highs on concerns that civil war was brewing in Libya, then eased amid a report, citing unnamed sources, that a pan-Arab newspaper that Muammar Gaddafi was making efforts to secure his departure from the country. U.S. officials, however, told NBC news the report can't be confirmed and is "unlikely" considering the situation on the ground.
London Brent crude fell 0.80 percent to settle at $115.04, while U.S. light, sweet crude settled at $105.44 a barrel after nearly reaching $107 earlier in the session. Gold, meanwhile, rose to $1,434 an ounceon Middle East concerns.
"All focus is on the Middle East and crude, and how that will impact the economy," said Daniel McMahon, director of equity trading at Raymond James. Every $10 hike in the price of a barrel of oil takes 25 to 50 basis points off gross domestic product on an annualized basis, McMahon said. The question for traders is, "will that snuff out the modest economic recovery we've all been enjoying."
Stocks should remain "range bound," until there is more clarity over the direction of oil prices, McMahon added.
Natural gas stocks were among the best performers among the energy stocks. Piedmont Natural Gas , New Jersey Resources and Vectren were the best performers.
Tech stocks led the market lower on Monday, triggered by semiconductor stocks that were hit hard after Wells Fargo downgraded the sector to "market weight" from "overweight." The brokerage doesn't dislike the sector, but sees many of the stocks as overvalued.
An exception was Intel, which Wells Fargo named a "top pick," but still sank on Monday. Others given an "outperform" rating also fell: Qualcomm, LinearTechnology, Analog Devices, Xilinx and Altera.The iShares Semiconductor ETF index fell nearly 3 percent.
The biggest opportunity presented by today's sell-off are in Intel and Qualcomm, David Wong, the Wells Fargo analyst who downgraded the sector, said on CNBC Monday.
"These are stocks with particularly strong fundamentals," Wong said. "Intel has recovered nicely from its glitch in its Sandy Bridge chip set. I think it's poised to gain this year and also benefit from strength in the server end market."
"Qualcomm is an excellent tablet and smartphone play," Wong added. (Read more: Street Recklessly Selling Chip Stocks?)
Ciena also sank after the communications equipment maker forecast disappointing second-quarter sales. The results also hurt JDS Uniphase , another communications equipment maker.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:07 PM GMT on August 09, 2013
As we stand on the cusp of the peak part of hurricane season, all of the major groups that perform long-range seasonal hurricane forecasts are still calling for an active 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. NOAA forecasts an above-normal and possibly very active Atlantic hurricane season in 2013, in their August 8 outlook. They give a 70% chance of an above-normal season, a 25% chance of an near-normal season, and 5% chance of a below-normal season. They predict a 70% chance that there will be 13 - 19 named storms, 6 - 9 hurricanes, and 3 - 5 major hurricanes, with an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) 120% - 190% of the median. If we take the midpoint of these numbers, NOAA is calling for 16 named storms, 7.5 hurricanes, 4 major hurricanes, and an ACE index 155% of normal. This is well above the 1981 - 2010 average of 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes. Hurricane seasons during the active hurricane period 1995 - 2012 have averaged 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes, with an ACE index 151% of the median.

Formation of early-season tropical storms like Chantal and Dorian in June and July in the deep tropics is usually a harbinger of an active Atlantic hurricane season. Image credit: NASA.
NOAA cites five main reasons to expect an active remainder of hurricane season:
1) Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are above average in the Main Development Region (MDR) for hurricanes, from the coast of Africa to the Caribbean. As of August 9, SST were 0.4°C (0.8°F) above average.
2) Trade winds are weaker than average across the MDR, which has caused the African Monsoon to grow wetter and stronger, the amount of spin over the MDR to increase, and the amount of vertical wind shear to decrease.
3) No El Niño event is present or expected this fall.
4) There have been two early-season tropical storms in the deep tropics (Tropical Storms Chantal and Dorian), which is generally a harbinger of an above-normal season.
5) We are in an active hurricane period that began in 1995.
Colorado State predicts a much above-average hurricane season
A much above-average Atlantic hurricane season is on tap for 2013, according to the seasonal hurricane forecast issued August 2 by Dr. Phil Klotzbach and Dr. Bill Gray of Colorado State University (CSU). The CSU team is calling for 18 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 3 intense hurricanes, and an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) of 142. The forecast calls for an above-average chance of a major hurricane hitting the U.S., both along the East Coast (40% chance, 31% chance is average) and the Gulf Coast (40% chance, 30% chance is average). The risk of a major hurricane in the Caribbean is also above average, at 53% (42% is average.)
Analogue years
The CSU team picked five previous years when atmospheric and oceanic conditions were similar to what we are seeing this year: cool neutral ENSO conditions and slightly above-average tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures. Those five years were 2008, a very active year with 16 named storms and 4 major hurricanes--Gustav, Ike, Paloma, and Omar; 2007, an active year with 15 named storms and two Category 5 storms--Dean and Felix; 1996, an above average year with 13 named storms and 6 major hurricanes--Edouard, Hortense, Fran, Bertha, Isidore, and Lili; 1966, an average year with 11 named storms and 3 major hurricanes--Inez, Alma, and Faith; and 1952, a below average year with 7 named storms and 3 major hurricanes. The average activity during these five analogue years was 12.4 named storms, 7.2 hurricanes, and 3.8 major hurricanes.
TSR predicts an above-average hurricane season: 14.8 named storms
The August 6 forecast for the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season made by British private forecasting firm Tropical Storm Risk, Inc. (TSR) calls for an active season with 14.8 named storms, 6.9 hurricanes, 3 intense hurricanes, and an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) of 121. The long-term averages for the past 63 years are 11 named storms, 6 hurricanes, 3 intense hurricanes, and an ACE of 103. TSR rates their skill level as good for these August forecasts--47% - 59% higher than a "no-skill" forecast made using climatology. TSR predicts a 58% chance that U.S. land falling activity will be above average, a 26% chance it will be near average, and a 16% chance it will be below average. They project that 4 named storms will hit the U.S., with 1.8 of these being hurricanes. The averages from the 1950-2012 climatology are 3.1 named storms and 1.4 hurricanes. They rate their skill at making these August forecasts for U.S. landfalls just 9% - 18% higher than a "no-skill" forecast made using climatology. In the Lesser Antilles Islands of the Caribbean, TSR projects 1.4 named storms, 0.6 of these being hurricanes. Climatology is 1.1 named storms and 0.5 hurricanes.
TSR's two predictors for their statistical model are the forecast July - September trade wind speed over the Caribbean and tropical North Atlantic, and the forecast August - September 2013 sea surface temperatures in the tropical North Atlantic. Their model is calling for warmer than average SSTs and near average trade winds during these periods, and both of these factors should act to increase hurricane and tropical storm activity.

Figure 3. Comparison of the percent improvement in mean square error over climatology for seasonal hurricane forecasts for the Atlantic from NOAA, CSU and TSR from 2003-2012, using the Mean Square Skill Score (MSSS). The figure shows the results using two different climatologies: a fixed 50-year (1950 - 1999) climatology, and a 2003 - 2012 climatology. Skill is poor for forecasts issued in December and April, moderate for June forecasts, and good for August forecasts. Image credit: Tropical Storm Risk, Inc.
FSU predicts an above-average hurricane season: 15 named storms
The Florida State University (FSU) Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) issued their fifth annual Atlantic hurricane season forecast on May 30, calling for a 70% probability of 12 - 17 named storms and 5 - 10 hurricanes. The mid-point forecast is for 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) of 135. The scientists use a numerical atmospheric model developed at COAPS to understand seasonal predictability of hurricane activity. The model is one of only a handful of numerical models in the world being used to study seasonal hurricane activity and is different from the statistical methods used by other seasonal hurricane forecasters such as Colorado State, TSR, and PSU (NOAA uses a hybrid statistical-dynamical model technique.) The FSU forecast has been one of the best ones over the past four years:
2009 prediction: 8 named storms, 4 hurricanes. Actual: 9 named storms, 3 hurricanes
2010 prediction: 17 named storms, 10 hurricanes. Actual: 19 named storms, 12 hurricanes
2011 prediction: 17 named storms, 9 hurricanes. Actual: 19 named storms, 7 hurricanes
2012 prediction: 13 named storms, 7 hurricanes. Actual: 19 named storms, 10 hurricanes
Penn State predicts an above-average hurricane season: 16 named storms
A statistical model by Penn State's Michael Mann and alumnus Michael Kozar is calling for an active Atlantic hurricane season with 16 named storms, plus or minus 4 storms. Their prediction was made using statistics of how past hurricane seasons have behaved in response to sea surface temperatures (SSTs), the El Niño/La Niña oscillation, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and other factors. The statistic model assumes that in 2013 the May 0.87°C above average temperatures in the MDR will persist throughout hurricane season, the El Niño phase will be neutral to slightly warm, and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) will be near average.
The PSU team has been making Atlantic hurricane season forecasts since 2007, and these predictions have done pretty well, except for in 2012, when an expected El Niño did not materialize:
2007 prediction: 15 named storms, Actual: 15
2009 prediction: 12.5, named storms, Actual: 9
2010 prediction: 23 named storms, Actual: 19
2011 prediction: 16 named storms, Actual: 19
2012 prediction: 10.5 named storms, Actual: 19
UK Met Office predicts a slightly above-average hurricane season: 14 named storms
The UKMET office forecast for the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season, issued May 13, calls for slightly above normal activity, with 14 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and an ACE index of 130. In contrast to the statistical models relied upon by CSU, TSR, and NOAA, the UKMET model is done strictly using two dynamical global seasonal prediction systems: the Met Office GloSea5 system and ECMWF system 4. In 2012, the Met Office forecast was for 10 tropical storms and an ACE index of 90. The actual numbers were 19 named storms and an ACE index of 123.

NOAA predicts a below-average Eastern Pacific hurricane season
NOAA's pre-season prediction for the Eastern Pacific hurricane season, issued on May 23, calls for a below-average season, with 11 - 16 named storms, 5 - 8 hurricanes, 1 - 4 major hurricanes, and an ACE index 60% - 105% of the median. The mid-point of these ranges gives us a forecast for 13.5 named storms, 6.5 hurricanes, and 2.5 major hurricanes, with an ACE index 82% of average. The 1981 - 2010 averages for the Eastern Pacific hurricane season are 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.
NOAA predicts a below-average Central Pacific hurricane season
NOAA's pre-season prediction for the Central Pacific hurricane season, issued on May 22, calls for a below-average season, with 1 - 3 tropical cyclones. An average season has 4 - 5 tropical cyclones, which include tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes. Hawaii is the primary land area affected by Central Pacific tropical cyclones.
West Pacific typhoon season forecast not available this year
Dr. Johnny Chan of the City University of Hong Kong usually issues a seasonal forecast of typhoon season in the Western Pacific, but did not do so in 2012 or 2013. An average typhoon season has 27 named storms and 17 typhoons. Typhoon seasons immediately following a La Niña year typically see higher levels of activity in the South China Sea, especially between months of May and July. Also, the jet stream tends to dip farther south than usual to the south of Japan, helping steer more tropical cyclones towards Japan and Korea.
Quiet in the Atlantic this weekend
There are no Atlantic threat areas to discuss today, and none of the reliable models for tropical cyclone formation is predicting development during the coming seven days. However, there are some indications that the atmosphere over the tropical Atlantic will become more conducive for tropical storm formation beginning around August 15. The Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO), a pattern of increased thunderstorm activity near the Equator that moves around the globe in 30 - 60 days, may move into the Atlantic then, increasing tropical storm formation odds. At the same time, the computer models are indicating an increase in moisture over the tropical Atlantic, due to a series of tropical waves expected to push off of the coast of Africa. There will also be several eastward-moving Convectively-Coupled Kelvin Waves (CCKWs) traversing the Atlantic during that period. These atmospheric disturbances have a great deal of upward-moving air, which helps strengthen the updrafts of tropical disturbances. Formation of the Eastern Pacific's Hurricane Gil and Henriette were aided by CCKWs. These same CCKWs will cross into the Atlantic and increase the odds of tropical storm formation during the period August 15 - 20.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Wisconsin vs Ohio State: It's sort of a big deal, coach
Wisconsin's Gary Andersen is either naive or brilliant.
When asked during his weekly press conference whether or not athletic director Barry Alvarez brought him up to speed on the rivalry between Ohio State and Wisconsin, Andersen gave an unexpected answer.
"No one's even really shared anything with me," Andersen said. "I know the kids are excited to play Ohio State, just like they would be excited to play Ohio State every year, just like they were excited last week to play Purdue."
MORE: Big Ten rankings | Week 5 picks | First-and-10
HAYES: Inside the SEC with Mike Slive
Purdue? Nobody's shared anything about Ohio State? That doesn't sound like a program forever influenced by Alvarez, whose never been described as naive.
This game essentially decides the Leaders Division. The winner of Saturday's showdown between No. 4 Ohio State and No. 23 Wisconsin can start making reservations for the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis.
It wasn't always that way. Before Alvarez's arrival, Ohio State had a 43-12-4 advantage against Wisconsin. Alvarez went 5-7-1 against the Buckeyes. He gave Ohio State fans somebody else to think about besides "That team up North."
Alvarez's immediate successor got it half right. Bret Bielema won three straight Big Ten titles. Bielema, however, finished 1-5 against the Buckeyes, and his move to Arkansas remains a Twitteriffic mess.
Just in case Alvarez hasn't gone over those facts with Andersen, let's give a free lesson of what's about to go down in Columbus, a place Andersen said he hasn't visited since a recruiting trip in 1984.
This "rivalry" ignited in 1993, when Ohio State's Marlon Kerner blocked Rick Schnetzky's 32-yard field goal to preserve a 14-14 tie. Both teams finished 10-1-1, and the Badgers beat UCLA in the Rose Bowl.
MORE: SN All-Big Ten | Week 4 photos | Cheerleaders
Since that season:
-Wisconsin is 3-3-1 against Ohio State when both teams are ranked.
-The schools have combined for 16 Big Ten championships on the field, and either the Buckeyes or Badgers have claimed a share of the conference title each of the last eight seasons.
-Wisconsin owns a 3-5 record in its last eight trips to Columbus, and that would be 4-4 if not for Braxton Miller's last-minute touchdown pass in the Buckeyes' 33-29 victory in 2011.
-Ohio State fans still haven't forgiven the Badgers for a 42-17 win at Ohio Stadium in 1999. Ron Dayne provided the exclamation point with four second-half touchdown runs. That's the last time Wisconsin won a Big Ten championship and beat the Buckeyes in the same season.
Does any of that sound like a game against Purdue?
Andersen is making his first trip as a head coach to Ohio Stadium, an environment that's every bit as hostile as any SEC location. Ask Nebraska's Bo Pelini how overwhelming it gets at night. Ohio State scored 28 second-quarter points in a 63-38 blowout of the Cornhuskers last season.
At least Andersen knows the competition. He served as Urban Meyer's defensive line coach at Utah in 2004. Andersen downplayed that angle, too.
"My take is that it doesn't have anything to do with it," Andersen said. "Obviously, Urban's a good friend. I consider him a good friend. Who knows? Maybe he doesn't consider me a good friend."
Meyer is playing nice for now. He called Wisconsin "the king of the Big Ten right now" at his press conference Tuesday, but nobody's buying that. Meyer is 16-0 at Ohio State. Wisconsin lost six games last year.
Maybe honest is the best way to describe Andersen. Half of the Big Ten coaches were born in either Ohio or Michigan. Bielema was a Big Ten disciple who turned on his conference. Andersen is from Utah, an outpost where the Big Ten gospel doesn't resonate. He doesn't have to subscribe to the "Big Two" theory. That should pay off long term.
In the short term, a keep-it-simple strategy with running backs Melvin Gordon and James White -- they've combined for 1,078 rushing yards on just 114 carries -- is enough to hang around with the Buckeyes.
"Ball security, turnovers, fourth quarter, your ability to be able to sustain and maintain through the whole game, but we'll see if we're in that point," Andersen said. "I'd like to be at a point in that game where we're hoping we could run the ball and get a couple first downs and see what happens.
"So if we're there, we'll expect to execute at a high level."
Now that does sound like something Alvarez would say.

A work by the Spanish poet and dramatist Federico García Lorca (1898–1936) is returning to the National Theatre in Prague some half a century after his play The House of Bernarda Alba, directed by Alfréd Radok, was performed on its stage. Blood Wedding was staged at our theatre shortly after WWII by Jindřich Honzl. Lorca's unsettled life itself could provide sufficient material for a play – yet our attention has focused on his text, blending folk art with avant-garde, the traditional world of weddings and inviolable rites with the passion of the present moment and overwhelming love. The Bride knows who to marry and the Groom is preparing for the nuptials with the utmost seriousness. Their path, however, is crossed by Leonardo, with the result being the concepts of all the relatives collapsing like a house of cards. Yet we are compelled to raise the question: what about the other characters, now parents and grandparents? Do they too know what mad desire is like? Is love merely the domain of youth, or is every one of us somewhat similar to the abandoning Bride and the betrayed Groom?

This is the 30 mm Gatling cannon out of an A-10 Warthog. As you can see in this old Air Force photo-op, it's bigger than a Volkswagen.
An early problem with this gun/plane combo was that the gun was so big that every time it was fired, its exhaust gasses would get sucked into the plane's two engines, causing them to flameout and stall. The plane's engineers' solution was to set the engines' igniters (like their spark plugs) to come on every time the gun was fired.
Now they just need to put the gun in the Volkswagen.

Radio Electronics: Frequency Modulation (FM)
Signals that interfere with an intentional electronic broadcast are called static, and static is the main drawback of AM radio. To counteract static, a better method of superimposing information on a radio wave, called frequency modulation or FM, was developed in 1933.
In frequency modulation, the intensity of the carrier wave isn't varied. Instead, the exact frequency of the carrier wave is varied in sync with the audio signal. When the audio signal is higher, the frequency of the broadcast signal goes up a little. When the audio signal is lower, the frequency slows down a bit.
You can see the carrier wave that clocks the specific frequency of the broadcast station. In the middle, you can see the audio signal that is to be superimposed on the carrier wave. And at the bottom, you can see the resulting modulated signal. As you can see, the frequency decreases when the input signal gets lower and increases when the input signal is higher.
Note that the frequency variations in a frequency-modulated signal are all within a small proportion of the carrier-wave frequency. Typically, the frequency stays within 100 kHz of the base frequency.
FM radio stations broadcast at frequencies in the range of 88 to 108 MHz, but the base frequency for each station always ends in 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, or 0.9. That's why FM radio stations have frequencies such as 89.3 or 107.5, but never 92.0 or 98.6.
Assigning base frequencies in increments of 0.2 MHz gives each station 100 kHz of room on either side of the center frequency for its frequency modulation. Thus, a station broadcasting at 103.1 actually sends signals whose frequencies range from 103.0 to 103.2. Most stations limit the variation from the base frequency to 75 kHz to leave some margin for error. This helps prevent adjacent stations from interfering with one another.
FM modulators usually use a type of electronic component called a varactor, which is a type of diode that has an unusual characteristic: It has capacitance like a capacitor, and its capacitance increases when voltage is applied across the diode. In essence, a varactor is a voltage-controlled variable capacitor. The schematic symbol for a varactor, shown in the margin, looks like a cross between a diode and a capacitor.
Varactors can be used in oscillator circuits to create an oscillator that vibrates faster when voltage increases. This ability makes it ideal for an FM radio modulator. As the voltage of the audio input increases, the capacitance of the varactor increases and thus the frequency of the oscillator increases. When the voltage decreases, the capacitance of the varactor decreases and so does the oscillator's frequency.

Richard Graves, owner of Graves Electric in Corpus Christi, Texas, has been a licensed master electrician and contractor since 1986. He was called out to look into a problem with a heat lamp circuit that was a part of a commercial food-warming table in a pizza parlor. The customer said that every time the heat lamp cord was plugged into the wall receptacle, fire would "shoot out of the receptacle" and the circuit breaker would trip. Upon arriving at the scene, he made sure that the power to the receptacle was turned off and removed the receptacle from the outlet box. The receptacle was wired correctly, but it was fried like a sausage.
Richard replaced the cooked receptacle and removed the cord cap that was attached to the Type SO cord coming from the food warmer table/heat lamps. This was the first time he ever saw a cord cap wired in such a manner. When asked, the head pizza man said one of the persons that worked in the kitchen had wired it up. He worked as an electrician once for a shoemaker.
It was lucky that no one got hurt. The cook was warned that the next time that person is seen with a screwdriver and a piece of electrical apparatus, to please redirect that person to the pots and pans instead.

- Information Retrieval: Search for Resources
When we think of searching and retrieving documents, context can help us by emphasizing the importance of the resources within a certain working context. For example, when working on something related to context representation, and submitting the query "user context" to the search engine, the resources that are also related to context representation but not direct containing the term would also appear ranked higher.
- Context Assistant Bar
A straightforward application for the detected contexts is the one in which the user is working on his computer and the algorithms watching his actions are able to identify the context in which his actions take place and display those contexts in an "assistant bar". For example, a visualization of the current context can be imagined, where documents, places or people relevant to the context are shown, and the user is able to browse through them. Also, possibly relevant documents can be automatically opened to reconstruct a previous working context. For example, a user working on a deliverable, always opened the relevant publications and also the emails regarding directions on how the deliverable should be structured.

looks like bill bennett's lack of ethics and moral relativism don't just apply to his little gambling problem. he's been editorializing in favor of the administration without revealing the fact that he's on their payroll. in what capacity? his for-profit company has been receiving funds intended for public school children, for a program whose beneficiaries are not public school children. instead, it benefits home-school kids, who weren't supposed to be targeted by "no child left behind" but whose parents & supporters represent a core constituency for the administgration.
the wall of separation has the story, and adds:
what's even more troubling is that bennett's firm apparently ended up with the tax-funded windfall despite contrary recommendations from peer reviewers at the u.s. department of education. department employees who oversee the public school choice program initially suggested funding for 10 programs, basing their decision on recommendations from peer reviewers. bennett's K12 arkansas project was not among them. education week reported that K12's proposal did not score high enough among the peer reviewers to win a funding recommendation.
but the department of education bypassed the peer reviewers and added bennett's program to the list. in doing so, the department dropped one program entirely and slashed funding for others.
millions of dollars have gone to bennett's company, K12. hmm ... and bennett blew millions of dollars gambling. i guess you could say, at least indirectly, that the school-kids of america are underwriting his losses. does cnn know who they're getting as their new analyst?
lecture me about ethics again, bill. i love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning.

The Chicago Faucets Benefit:
- Commercial Grade Faucet: When a product is marked as "commercial grade" it means it has been built specifically to stand the test of time, and has been factory tested to function flawlessly through constant and continuous use. It is expected that faucets used in a commerce fashion will see much more use, and inversely abuse than typical faucets you might see in a residential setting, so they are engineered to do just that. Using simple, yet reliable, designs coupled with the industry's highest quality materials these faucets are some of the most reliable on the market. Although they are marketed as being ideal for commercial settings, the savvy home owner might take the quality found here and add a staple of functionality throughout the home as well.
- Quaturn Cartridge: The Quaturn cartridge was the industries first replaceable, completely self-contained valve cartridge. The cartridge allows the user to turn the water from full flow to off in just a quarter-turn. This unique cartridge was designed to close with the flow of the water rather than against it which reduces washer ware and virtually eliminates faucet drips. Although the Quaturn cartridge has been updated over the years to incorporate new technologies and materials it still holds true to its principals and is completely interchangeable with any Quaturn manufactured since 1913.
- ECAST Construction: With the threat of lead pollution in the public's supply of drinking water, Chicago Faucets was one of the industry's first to take the lead in finding a solution. These faucets are made of the same durable, high quality materials and fittings as always, however they are manufactured with .25% or less total lead content by weighted average. This means their faucets not only meet the strict guidelines first introduced by states like California and Virginia, but it surpasses those standards, coming as close to truly lead-free as possible.

So much Monkey Business[edit]
All Hozen rares use the same set of abilities.Toss Filth hits for little damage, but it's stacking damage debuff can be trouble if it gets too high. Fortunately, the debuff timer should run out during Going Bananas.
Bananarang can be devastating if it makes contact with a player. Simply strafe to one side while the Hozen is casting it until he throws it. Players should stay out of its path even after this, as the nature of any 'rang is to come back to it's wielder.
Going Bananas is the most dangerous ability in a Hozen's arsenal. During Going Bananas, the Hozen will leap around the surrounding area causing massive damage if he is allowed to strike a player. It's hard to get out from under the Hozen's landing point because he moves so fast, so surviving this attack can be a matter of luck unless players have a few stuns at their disposal , or can kill him before he does it a second time. Once the stun effect wears off he will attempt to cast it again. It should be noted that not doing any damage during this time can cause the Hozen to reset, so while safely at range, players should hit him with any kind of ranged attack they can during this time.
It's best to fight Hozen in a large, open area to give him more room to jump around, decreasing the chances that he'll be able to make contact; if he doesn't start in such a space, players should clear the surrounding area before hand, and kite the Hozen to a more suitable area.

This feed is a Uniden BCD996T monitoring NIFOG, MWCOG PMARS, and MWCOG RINS channels. The antenna site for the radio feed receiver is located at the northern most point in Farifax County (Virginia) located near the latitude - longitude coordinates of N 38.99872 and W -77.25443.
|This feed monitors Interop Channels as defined by the NIFOG document pubished by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Office of Emergency Communications. The National Interoperability Field Operations Guide (NIFOG) is a technical reference for radio technicians responsible for radios that will be used in disaster response applications, and for emergency communications planners. The NIFOG includes rules and regulations for use of nationwide and other interoperability channels, frequencies and channel names, and other reference material.
This feed monitors the NCR (National Capitol Region) P-MARS (Police Mutual Aid Radio System) channel. P-MARS was implimented* to provide greater connectivity between the regions dispatch centers.
* As of February 2000, the P-MARS repeater moved from 453.550 MHz to the new 800 MHz frequency.
An older, 39.620 MHz, frequency was depricated but is sometimes heard during roll call. Participating localities may include:
This feed monitors the Metropolitan Washington Council of Government's (MWCOG) allocated RINS* (Regional Inter-Service) channel frequencies using the common PL tone and the local PL tones, so only traffic from the surrounding area can be heard. The six (6) RINS frequencies are primarily used for Fire/EMS service interoperability within the region utilizing a common PL tone, though any public safety agency member of MWCOG may use them.
* RINS channels can also be used for local MWCOG participating jurisdictions VRS (vehicle repeaster systems) using the common PL tone or for T/A (talk-around) needs using any dis-similar PL tone. The default modulation is conventinal analog, however digital is permitted for T/A locally.
The National Capital Region (NCR) was created pursuant to the National Capital Planning Act of 1952 (Title 40, U.S.C., Sec. 71). The Act defined the NCR as the District of Columbia; Montgomery and Prince George's Counties of Maryland; Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William Counties of Virginia; and all cities now or here after existing in Maryland or Virginia within the geographic area bounded by the outer boundaries of the combined area of said counties.

The National Capital Region (NCR) is one of the most important political and military areas in the US. The NCR is defined as the District of Columbia (Washington); Montgomery and Prince George's Counties of Maryland; Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William Counties of Virginia. Within these areas there are many Local Government, Law Enforcement, Fire/Rescue and Military facilities and personnel which need to be in constant communication with each other using the various channels featured on this feed. However, due to the nature of the unique mutual aid activities of entities within the NCR, throughout the year many agencies routinely host exercises and drills that put hundreds or thousands of First Responders to the test and simulate everything from fires to terrorist attacks. During such times many of the NIFOG and MWCOG Interop frequencies will have increased activity that local people may want to listen to. To avoid dangerous confusion that could lead the average citizen to fear there is a real situation in the listening area, this feed may NOT be connected during such events/activities. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. This feed will be denoted as "Not Active" when offline.

CONCORD — The preliminary unadjusted November 2012 unemployment rate for New Hampshire was 5.4 percent, an increase of 0.2 percentage points from the October rate. It compares even more unfavorably to the November 2011 unadjusted unemployment rate of 4.9 percent. These figures are contained in the latest release by New Hampshire Employment Security.
However, New Hampshire's jobless rate is still markedly better than the rate for the United States, although the gap has now narrowed to two percentage points. Nationally, the unadjusted rate for November 2012 was 7.4 percent, a decrease of 0.1 percentage point from the October rate and a decrease of 0.8 percentage points from the November 2011 rate.
Seasonally adjusted estimates (which vary a little from unadjusted estimates) for November 2012 placed the number of employed residents at 697,950, a decrease of 60 from the previous month and a decrease of 3,590 from November 2011. The number of unemployed residents decreased by 630 over-the-month to 41,590. This was 2,520 more unemployed than in November 2011. From October to November 2012, the total labor force decreased by 690 to 739,540. This was a decrease of 1,070 from November 2011.
These numbers are all based on surveys of New Hampshire residents, and thus they do not truly reflect the state's economy, as they include tens of thousands of people who commute to other states to work.
NHES also uses a different methodology — a monthly survey of New Hampshire businesses — to estimate the number of jobs there are in-state, and in which sectors of the economy these jobs are.
Between October and November, the state lost 3,600 private sector jobs and gained 700 government jobs, for a net loss of 2,900.
There are now an estimated 629,400 jobs in New Hampshire, which is 2,500 fewer than a year ago.
The Construction sector now employs 22,200 people in the state, which is down 1,200 jobs over the month and down 400 over the year.
Manufacturing remained steady in November with 65,600 jobs, but this is 500 fewer than a year ago.
Wholesale Trade, a sector that sometimes indicates what is to come, now has 27,900 employees, which is up 100 over the month and up 1,000 over the year.
The Retail sector, too, augers a little better, with 94,400 employees, up 1,600 with Christmas hires, and also up 500 jobs over the year.
Real Estate, Rentals and Leasing, which had been strengthening until the fall, lost 100 jobs from October to November. It now employs 6,500 people, which is 200 fewer than a year ago.
The sector that only bureaucrats could have named, Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services, now has 29,000 workers — up 500 over the month, but down 200 over the year. Temporary hires are often included in the category.
Colleges, Universities and Professional Schools (in the private sector) now have a combined staff of 19,400 people — down 400 both over the month and the year.
The Health Care and Social Assistance sector, which, until earlier this year, was reliable for slow, steady growth, has faltered of late. In November, though, it added 700 jobs to stand at 84,800 people, which is 600 fewer than in November 2011.
Leisure and Hospitality, which includes arts and entertainment, recreation, accommodation and eating and drinking places of every kind, lost 4,900 jobs over the month as leaf-peepers headed for home. There are now 60,300 workers in this sector, which is still 800 more than this time, last year.
Government employment at federal state and local level rose over the month, by a net 700 jobs to 95,300. This is down 1,200 jobs over the year.
Local government added 900 positions in November, federal government shed 200 jobs, and state government remained steady.
Federal government now has 7,000 people, which is down 300 over the year. State government has 26,500 employees and that is up 400 over the year. Local government, in November, had 61,800 employees, which is down 1,300 over the year.

Feels like it's been awhile I didn't post on my blog. Yup, a month counts as "a while". Good news though is that I haven't been sitting on my ass doing nothing and playing Titanfall for the past month!
Okay, I do play too much of Titanfall, but that's another story.
I have been working on Space Kitten, multiple contracts and of course kolab my company and main project. I am also working on my long due iOS project. I'm completing the written research and analysis and as of now it's a bit over 6,500 words, so it looks like it's going to be a bit bigger than my Windows project. This project is less designs and visual and more analysis.
The long part though is of course all the animations and videos on which I may skip a little if I do not meet my release goal for the last day of May. I really want to finish this before WWDC as it could be a fine comparison about this vision and whatever Apple comes out with.
So by the end of the month it should all be ready to go and online and should also be on The Verge! So check that out in about a week!
In the meantime, make sure you read the first part of the analysis right here.
Thanks everyone!
You folks asked for it, so here's the closest thing you will have from me (for now anyways). I have been working with the good guys at ReviverSoft on a Start Menu solution based on my research and on their existing product Start Menu Reviver. After my research they got in touch with me and showed me their product that I have never seen. The UI was bad, like mockup prototype experiment-like bad, but the functionality and code was all there!Read More

Since I got my domains secured, I'd like to talk a bit about my first and new game I'm currently working on. I never built a game in my life and this is my first try at building a world and interactive experience built for the sole purpose of entertainment. No objectives of productivity, no monetization strategy, no optimization of user experience; only entertainment and storytelling.
That's my unknown territory: Interactive Storytelling which is basically a description of Video Game. I did build a lot of interactive stuff like interfaces and mobile apps and I'm sure did my part of storytelling through my shortfilms and branding designs, but blending both of them for the sole purpose of entertainment sure looks like a challenge.
But I want the challenge to be more difficult!Read More
...and I want to test how does it blend in a social environment as well as how it can enhance your everyday life. This is a very special product and I always wondered what are the ups and downs of the Google Glass itself, but also of the idea of an on-your-face type of device.
It has been 2 days I have it, I just got my orientation Hangout with a Google Glass person and now I want to share with you how Google Glass will blend and feel in your everyday life.

mouse, name applied to numerous species of small rodents, often having soft gray or brown fur, long hairless tails, and large ears. The chief distinction between these animals and the variety of rodents called rats is in size: mice are usually smaller. Many small rodents are adapted for leaping or hopping and are named accordingly, e.g., the North American kangaroo rat and Asian jumping mouse.
