Arguments posed by some hunters against the Pennsylvania Game Commission's deer management program over the past decade will be among the points under study in the new Deer-Forest Study, game commissioners were told at their working group meeting on Monday.
How well the forest health and deer impact measures being used by commission deer biologists in recommending seasons and antlerless license allocations – the state's primary means of managing its deer herd – reflect what is happening on the ground will be chief among the questions being posed by Penn State researchers.
The Pennsylvania Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at Penn State will be cooperating with the commission, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and the U.S. Geological Survey in the five-year study.
Duane Diefenbach, leader of the research unit, noted that deer have already been captured and radio-collared in Deer Management Assistance Program areas on Bald Eagle State Forest, near Beaver Springs; Rothrock State Forest, near Boalsburg; and Susquehannock State Forest, near Denton Hill. Susquehannock State Forest will have two study areas, all four of which will be about 20,000 acres.
Field Technicians this month are completing the collection of vegetation information on 200 plots on each of the study areas. The plots will be resampled every other year, with additional monitoring efforts planned after timber harvests begin next year.
Researchers also will be investigating the effectiveness of DMAP in increasing antlerless harvest in a local area, changes in hunter behavior in response to changes in deer abundance, and the ability of DCNR current methods of deer-impact determination to actually detect changes in vegetation in response to changes in deer abundance.
Dave Gustafson, commission forester, explained that current thresholds the commission is using to support decisions in deer management may not be able detect vegetation changes in a manner that would allow for quick incorporation in the annual recommendations for seasons and doe licenses made by commission biologists.
He also noted, "Deer are not the only factor affecting forest regeneration," which has been the rallying cry for many opponents of the commission's program over the past decade to reduce deer populations as a means of increasing the growth of new generations of trees in the state's forests.
Diefenbach said forest regeneration has improved with fewer deer on the landscape, but the restricted rate of that regeneration raises the questions, "Is it just deer? Are there some other tools in our toolbox" to also encourage improved forest regeneration?
Commission Executive Director Carl Roe agreed, "We know regeneration is occurring. We're making incremental improvements. Deer have been the easy issue to manage. Are the other implications economically feasible?"

The state Assembly Environment and Solid Waste committee approved 6-0 with one abstention a bill that would expand membership on the Drinking Water Quality Institute.
The bill would allow the committee to include industry professionals among the board members.
Sponsored by Assemblyman John Burzichelli, the bill would expand the Drinking Water Quality Institute from 15 members to 18, adding three seats for representatives of the commercial and industrial community.
The institute, a division of the Department of Environmental Protection, develops the state standards for the maximum amount of hazardous contaminants allowed in drinking water and makes those recommendations to the DEP to use as statewide regulatory standards.
According to Burzichelli, expanding the seats to include members of an industry regulated by the DEP is part of an added level of transparency he is trying to add to the office.
In addition to the expansion to 18 members, the bill also includes a provision that three members must have "professionally recognized academic qualifications and backgrounds" in order to represent the public in discussing regulatory issues.
"The goal here is to establish a more transparent process out of the DEP relating to drinking water quality and the issues in setting those standards," said Burzichelli.
According to DEP spokesperson Lawrence Hajna, the board is made up of three subcommittees, Health, Testing and Treatment departments.
The Health subcommittee is the first to propose their suggestion of allowable contaminants in drinking water when preparing a new recommendation, and Testing and Treatment will work with that number before coming up with a final recommendation. After sending their suggestions to the DEP, the department will then make a decision based on those numbers to set standards for the entire state.
With the provisions of the bill, those three industry members would then be added to those subcommittees and the suggestion process, according to Hajna.
The last recommendation from the institute came in 2009, when it did a review of existing standards in addition to a few new standards on new chemicals, according to Hajna.
Hajna said that the DEP is currently reviewing the bill and will reach out to Burzichelli about the details of it at a later date.
While adding industry members to a regulatory board brings up questions about conflicts of interest if those members were involved in dumping chemicals, Burzichelli said that their influence will be minor and that those members could range from members of the pharmaceutical industry to dairy farmers, and there hasn't been a determination as to where those members will come from.
"By adding these three members, I think we're setting a better standard of discussion," said Burzichelli, adding "They're not the final say. They're just in the mix."
The assemblyman says he sees the change as an added level of communication.
"I would rather have them in the room early than in the room late," said Burzichelli. "There can be no compromise when it comes to the quality of our drinking water. But there are steps in how we reach our standards that I think it would be a benefit for people to be aware of and informed about."
He says he wants industry members at the institute's meetings during regulatory discussions so that when the standards are set, there are no questions as to the rules from industry members, like pharmaceutical companies, steel companies and others who might be fined for violating regulations.
Burzichelli said he does not have a time frame for when the bill will be presented to the state Assembly for a vote.

The Minutemen stepped on the field at McGuirk Alumni Stadium Friday for the first preseason practice of their last year of Football Championship Subdivision competition.
The spring announcement that UMass is elevating to Football Bowl Subdivision status as a member of the Mid-American Conference in 2012 seems to have pulled the focus away from the 2011 season.
Coach Kevin Morris, his staff and the nearly 100 Minutemen have 26 days to direct that focus toward Holy Cross, the first opponent of the season September 1.
"It was definitely different from other summers, but guys understand the situation and they're taking it in stride and everybody's going to continue to come out and go through the season as if we're still in the CAA and trying to get to the playoffs," senior wide receiver Julian Talley said. "They know it's for the better of the program and there's a lot of pride out here."
This transition year means UMass is ineligible for the Colonial Athletic Association championship and the NCAA playoffs. That hasn't dimmed the enthusiasm of the Minutemen, who have been itching to get back on the field.
"Myself, my teammates, we've been counting down the days for camp to start and now that it's here, we're excited," redshirt sophomore Galen Clemons said.
"September 1 is going to be here before we know it," the Central Michigan transfer added. "Holy Cross, that's what it's all about, preparing for Holy Cross."
And with practice under way, Morris can concentrate solely on coaching after spending much of the offseason marketing the program.
"It's been a little bit of a runaround, but it's all been good because people are talking about UMass football," the third-year head coach said. "There definitely has been a lot more (promotion) because we're trying to push ticket sales and pushing the whole concept of playing here this year and playing at Gillette (Stadium in Foxborough) in the next couple of years after that, and who we're going to play down there.
"But this time of the year it's 2011, that's what we're focused on. But May and June were a lot different in that regard."
The Minutemen may not be able to afford any kind of lapse in concentration this season because of all the change that has occurred from last year to this year in terms of personnel and staff, as well as a new defense.
"Overall, about 40 percent of the team is brand new, coming in as fresh faces to the program, whether it's transfers or incoming freshmen," Morris said. "So that's going to be a test of the leadership internally with the seniors, being able to get those young 40 percent to understand how we do it here at UMass and the actual standards that are set and need to be met every day."
The coaching staff is also 40 percent new, including defensive coordinator Frank Forcucci, who brings with him a 3-4 base defense. UMass had run a 4-3 since 2004.
UMass did receive some bad news Friday when it was discovered that kicker/punter Caleb Violette would miss the entire season after a broken foot did not heal properly and will likely need surgery.
Violette handled all the punting and kicking except for kickoffs last season. Morris said his replacement will come from the competition among Rice transfer Brandon Yelovich, Brendon Levengood (who handled kickoffs last year), true freshman Andrew Ortiz and sophomore Jeff Straight, or a combination of those four.

TROOPS TO TEACHERS "Proud to Serve Again"
Window Rock USD on the Navajo Nation, bordering AZ and NM, nearest Gallup, NM is looking for teachers for the 2016-2017 school year. Needs including: plus many more...
American Indian and the indigenous populations throughout the United States reside in unique and differing places. Teaching on a reservation can be a life altering experience that will never be forgotten, and often shared. There are 567 tribes recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (Federal Register Vol 81. No 86. May 4, 2016). In addition, there are hundreds more in existence which are not categorized. In 2006, the Bureau of Indian Education was restructured to "provide quality education opportunities from early childhood through life in accordance with a tribe's need for cultural and economic well-being, in keeping with the wide diversity of Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages as distinct cultural and governmental entities." Currently the BIE serves 183 schools in 23 states serving more than 42,000 American Indian students, of these: 58 are BIE operated and 125 are tribally operated under contracts or grants. These may include residential boarding schools in the more remote areas.
Applying for a position with a BIE school requires the applicant to go through the BIE hiring process. Applying for a position in a public school requires application through the school or district's hiring process. In most cases, teacher credentialing is the same for teaching on a reservation as any other school within the state. Those requirements are located on each state's teacher licensing website. If the applicant can provide documentation of tribal membership, they will be given hiring preference in BIE schools under the Indian Preference Act. Most schools on reservations also quality for Title I funding.

The people will remain uncertain whilst
'Twixt you there's difference; but the fall of either
Makes the survivor heir of all.
-- From Coriolanus, Act V, scene VI, by William Shakespeare
The plot thickens around the future of the computer memory market. The Taiwanese consortium with nearly a billion of government backing picked Japanese player Elpida as its knight in shining armor. Jilted at the castle gates, American chip wrangler Micron (NYSE: MU ) is now casting bedroom eyes at the Taiwanese peers who didn't join that official alliance.
There are lots of moving parts in this tricky situation -- bruised corporate egos, the interests of three separate nations, and the rapid consolidation of this deeply damaged industry. Even with lots of government money (pick your pois ... eh, nation), the new Taiwanese consortia may or may not survive the twin sledgehammers of huge overproduction in the name of manufacturing efficiencies, and waning worldwide demand for these memory chips and the gadgets they power.
Chances are that Micron will end up buying something or someone. The largest American memory expert is raising money by selling $450 million of stock and convertible senior debt papers next week. Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS ) , Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB ) , and Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS ) are handling the logistics and taking their customary cut. Micron will collect about $434 million net proceeds after underwriting fees and the like, and that sum will be used for "general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, and potential acquisitions and strategic transactions." (Italics mine.)
Every memory maker is hemorrhaging money and desperately seeking cost reduction measures through internal measures and partnerships. A loose "United We Stand" seems to be the battle cry, unless you're a diversified giant like Samsung or Toshiba (OTC BB: TOSBF.PK), both of which seem unwilling to launch a shopping spree amongst their smaller and more vulnerable rivals.
When the dust settles over this battlefield, I will start to consider investing in the survivors. Memory stocks like Micron, Spansion (Nasdaq: SPSN ) , and Qimonda all run substantial risks of going to zero before all is said and done.
But once the smoke clears, the stocks left standing could be poised for some of the greatest bouncebacks in living memory.
Stay tuned. This is gonna be fun.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- What do most of the World Series champions of the last decade have in common?
Their stadium seating was built in Grand Rapids.
That will be the case this year whether the Detroit Tigers or the San Francisco Giants win baseball's crown
But American Seating Company is rooting for the home team. In the lobby of the company heaquarters a chair like the seat in Comerica Park is decked out in Detroit Tigers' gear.
When it comes to stadium seating and baseball champions, the manufacturer has a winning streak to be envied.
RELATED: American Seating a hit with Major League Baseball
For the past decade, nine of the 10 World Series Champions have had American Seating in their stadiums.
The 10th team, Miami Marlins, now has American Seating in its new ballpark.
"We joke that the Yankees haven't won a series since they switched from our seats," says Bruce Weener, vice president of sales for the company that has seats in about half the country's ballparks.
The odds were good going into playoffs, when six of the eight teams had stadiums outfitted by American Seating.
"It's a fun time," said Weener. "We like to think our seats make a difference."
The 125-year-old American Seating has been around almost as long as America's pastime — and has been making seats for baseball teams since the early 1900s.
The original seating in Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, was American Seating. The company lives up to its name. The chairs are made in its factory on Grand Rapids' Northwest Side.
Sports seating accounts for about 20 percent of the company's overall sales.
Coincidentally, the seating in Comerica Park and San Francisco's AT&T Park is identical. Both built in the late 1990s, they feature the same dark green model.
Weener admits that he finds it amusing how much people are willing to pay to spend a few hours in his company's chairs - which is far greater than the chair's original price tag, somewhere south of $130 depending on the cost of installation.
The company custom designs seats for sports teams, often giving them a retro look with modern durability designed to last more than 20 years.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- A New Jersey man accused of conspiracy, fraud and making false statements in relation to visa applications is asking a federal judge to dismiss most of the dozen charges against him.
Praveen Andapally of Edison was arrested last month. The president of Venturisoft Inc., of South Plainfield and Clive, Iowa, has denied any wrongoing. Andapally argues prosecutors failed to show he defrauded the government of property or money, so the fraud charges should be dismissed.
Ten others and another New Jersey corporation were named on other charges alleging they misused H-1B visas, allowing employers to hire foreign workers for high-skilled and advanced-degree jobs.
Trial for the individuals is scheduled April 27 and May 25 for the corporation.

text: India and England begin their rivalry with the first Test at Ahmedabad starting on Wednesday. MS Dhoni's men lost all of their four Tests when they toured England last year, and that will sure be at the back their minds over the course of the series. Revenge is the buzzword in India, with talk of the hosts preparing rank turners, but more than all that the focus for both India and England should be on winning whatever the odds so that both can climb up the ICC Test rankings ladder.Since that fateful tour of England in 2011, a lot has changed in terms of India's set-up: Rahul Dravid, the man who scored three centuries on that tour, and VVS Laxman have called time on their careers. Sachin Tendulkar is nearing his end as an international cricketer and Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara have become the new poster boys of Indian cricket. Yuvraj Singh has been diagnosed with cancer and returned fighting, and with a renewed vigour towards Test cricket in particular.Even though many believe that India go into the series as red-hot favourites, there is no denying that their task is much tougher than they had against New Zealand a couple of months ago when Pujara and Kohli led India to a 2-0 whitewash. For one, England arguably have the best bowling unit in the world. James Anderson, Stuart Broad, and Graeme Swann have taken wickets all across the world with aplomb.By all means, it's a contest between Englandâs bowling and India's batting. India have reasons to worry. Tendulkar, who buttressed the Indian batting for over two decades, has been in patchy form. Even his staunchest supporter, Sunil Gavaskar, raised questions over his technique. Tendulkar too has admitted that he'll be assessing his career after the England series. Fans will hope that his stroke-filled century for Mumbai against Railways recently is a sign of things to come from Tendulkar. Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir have been poor of late and Yuvraj, who is certain to play on Wednesday, is returning to Test cricket after a tumultuous year. His double-century in the Duleep Trophy and a half-century against the England XI in a warm-up augur well, but this is Test cricket â the toughest format of the game where Yuvraj has failed to dominate in 37 appearances. The only in-form batsmen are Kohli and Pujara, but they cannot alone be expected to deal with the top-class English bowlers.Another factor that will determine the outcome of the contest is the nature of the pitch at Motera, which traditionally favours batsmen and draws. But curator Dhiraj Parsana, a former India player, has asserted that this time the pitch will be sporting. Whatever Parsana's claims are, India would want the pitch to turn. England's record in spin-favorable conditions is really sub-standard. Over the last one year, they have lost to Pakistan (3-0 in the UAE) and drew 1-1 in Sri Lanka. There is no reason to imagine that they would have improved since the series against the Lankans in April, despite several batsmen getting runs against India A, Mumbai A and Haryana. Apart from Kevin Pietersen and Alastair Cook, most of the batsmen's techniques against spin are under the scanner. Jonathan Trott improved tremendously from the UAE series when England toured Sri Lanka, scoring two Test centuries, but has yet to play a Test in India. Ian Bell is a sure run-machine when the pitch doesnât favours spinners but his reliability quotient takes a drastic dip when it starts turning. The three candidates for the No. 6 spot - Eoin Morgan, Jonny Bairstow and Samit Patel - are also Test greenhorns. Cookâs opening partner-to-be looks like the uncapped Nick Compton, who impressed in the last two warm-ups after a dismal start to the tour, and making a debut in India against quality spin is a tough proposition. Also, itâs not clear what English team's bowling composition will be thanks to Steven Finn being ruled out of the match on account of a thigh strain. It's highly unlikely that England will either bring Monty Panesar or Patel, of course bearing Indiaâs excellent record against spin in mind. So, it's Tim Bresnan who may get the nod. As for India's bowling composition, Zaheer Khan and Umesh Yadav will be the new-ball bowlers with R Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha taking care of the spin department. One can say whatever about England's ability against spin, their record in India is not alarming at all. Since 1982, they have won three Tests, lost seven and drawn six. Three of those seven defeats came in 1992-93 when they were clean-swept by Mohammad Azharuddinâs team. So if one doesn't take that series into account, the gap narrows drastically between the two teams. In fact, the last two series have been very competitive: a 1-1 draw in 2004 and a 1-0 win in favour of India in 2008.Clearly, it won't be as easy for India as many have suggested.Probable XIs:India: 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Gautam Gambhir 3, Chesteshwar Pujara, 4 Sachin Tendulkar, 5 Virat Kohli, 6 Yuvraj Singh, 7 MS Dhoni (capt/wk), 8 Zaheer Khan, 9 Umesh Yadav, 10 R Ashwin, 11 Pragyan OjhaEngland: 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Nick Compton, 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Kevin Pietersen, 5 Ian Bell, 6 Jonny Bairstow/Samit Patel, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Tim Bresnan, 10 Graeme Swann, 11 James Anderson

MADISON, Wis. - A Democratic state senator plans to introduce a longshot bill that would prohibit Wisconsin wolf hunters from using dogs, marking another chapter in a months-long battle to stop the practice before it begins.
Sen. Fred Risser of Madison sent an email to the rest of the Legislature on Monday asking for co-sponsors. He noted that Wisconsin is the only one of seven states with a wolf hunt that allows dogs. He said humane societies are concerned about the risk of bloody clashes between dogs and wolves.
"It doesn't make sense to me. It's nothing more than state-sanctioned dog fighting," Risser said. "We shouldn't have done it in the first place and maybe we can stop it before it becomes too ingrained."

This undated photo provided by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources shows a gray wolf in a wooded area near Wisconsin Dells, Wis. A Wisconsin legislator has introduced a bill to ban the use of dogs for wolf hunting. (AP photo)
A lawyer representing a group of humane societies that sued last year to ban wolf hunters from using dogs called the bill "wonderful."
"That would be a very sane change in public policy," said Carl Sinderbrand, an attorney for the Wisconsin Federated Humane Societies Inc. "It would reflect the will of the vast majority of Wisconsinites."
But the bill has almost no chance of success; Republicans control both the state Senate and Assembly.
Rep. Scott Suder, R-Abbotsford, was the chief sponsor of the bill that established the wolf hunt. He serves as Assembly majority leader and plays a huge role in deciding what legislation makes it to the floor for a vote. He said Monday that Risser's proposal will probably go nowhere.
"To totally eliminate an entire privilege that is out there for sportsmen, it goes too far," Suder said.
The wolf hunt has been a flashpoint of contention since Republicans passed Suder's bill about a year ago. Animal rights advocates see the hunt as unnecessary, but farmers maintain something must be done to control a burgeoning wolf population preying on their livestock.
The bill scheduled the wolf season to run from Oct. 15 to the end of February or whenever hunters reached a kill limit imposed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The legislation allows hunters to pursue wolves with up to six dogs after the end of the November gun deer season.
Emergency rules the DNR crafted to get the first hunt off the ground limited dog use to daylight hours but set no other restrictions. A group of humane societies filed a lawsuit in August alleging the lack of regulations would lead to deadly wolf-dog fights during the season and throughout the rest of the year as hunters trained their hounds on wolves.
Dane County Circuit Judge Peter C. Anderson temporarily barred hunters from using dogs while he weighed the case. The first season began and ended while the prohibition was in place. The ban didn't seem to hamper hunters as the DNR closed the season two months early in December after hunters had killed 117 wolves, one more than their limit.

DS and PSP Christmas Guide
It's Christmas time, which means plenty of hours to devote to eating, watching festive films and playing games. In the case of the great games that follow, you can even play them while watching hours of monotonous television with the family, thanks to them all being handheld games. It has been an interesting 2009 for both the PSP and DS, so it's time to delve further into just what games are well worth a look this season.
The PSP is swiftly reaching its fifth birthday and it has certainly had an interesting past year. 2009 kicked off with the launch of Remote Play enabling PSP gamers to play PS1 classics and certain PSN downloadable games via their PS3 and Wi-Fi Connections. The PSP Go came out in October 2009 to some very mixed reviews due to its removal of the UMD drive and a strong focus on downloadable games, not forgetting the arrival of PSP Minis: bite-sized downloadable games. The PSP has had a great year overall still when it comes to games with some very memorable experiences appearing on the system in recent months.
It's a perennial feature in many gamers diaries and the latest FIFA game has excelled itself yet again. Everything has been improved since FIFA 09 with Be A Pro being the best of the many modes available. Finally you can live your childhood dream of leading your favourite team to victory. Once you've sated those needs, Challenge Mode offers you the chance of changing history with numerous challenges involving winning games by certain margins. The challenges are all short but fun making it an ideal mode to drop in and out of. There's also more of the traditional Manager mode and Season mode which always provides plenty of longevity for the game. FIFA 10 is a football fan's dream come true.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Arguably the most outright enjoyable Grand Theft Auto game of recent years, Chinatown Wars exploded onto our PSPs with style. Although initially a DS exclusive, it was this version which was definitive. Offering more missions than ever and some stunning dynamic real-time lighting effects for the system, Chinatown Wars had it all. One of the best things about Chinatown Wars was its return to the top-down perspective that the first two Grand Theft Autos enjoyed; it was a wonderfully nostalgic change. The 70 or so story missions were varied and there was still plenty to do thanks to the many side quests on offer. The best was yet to come with the drug dealing mini-game which was as addictive as the rest of the game put together. Truly one of the real greats on the PSP, easily rivalling previous handheld GTA titles.
Gran Turismo
We've waited long enough for its release but Gran Turismo PSP turned out to be just what we wanted. Offering 35 tracks and over 800 cars there was certainly plenty to do even if there was no sign of a structured career mode. As is always the way with Gran Turismo games, it's all about starting at the bottom and working your way up, and this is still the case thanks to modes such as Single Race and Drift Trial still offering up credits for good victories. Just when you thought you were done, the urge to race one more event to be able to buy 'just' one more car was always there and kept us hooked to our PSPs. Gran Turismo might not have been quite as complete a package as we hoped but it's still the best, realistic racer on the PSP and deserving of a place in your collection.
It was a brilliantly inventive game on the PS3 upon first release in 2008, but there were some reservations as to just how well it would work on the smaller screen. Fortunately the PSP conversion of LittleBigPlanet happily holds its own. The single player mode is compelling as ever. At times it might infuriate you but never unfairly so thanks to its well balanced difficulty level. The level creator on offer is as complex and as detailed as the PS3 equivalent and the ability to upload your creations is great. LittleBigPlanet harks back to the days of the 2D platformer and is the kind of game that will keep you grinning from ear to ear.
Motorstorm: Arctic Edge
A different type of racer to Gran Turismo, Motorstorm: Arctic Edge is all about off road arcade action. It might not be as pretty as its PS3 predecessors but it retains their fun, frantic nature perfectly. It does everything just right with tons of variety thanks to over 100 tracks and an array of vehicles all with their own unique handling. All of the tracks come with various shortcuts and alternate routes ensuring that races never get dull. The career mode is comprehensive with a great difficulty curve and the online functionality truly is the cherry on top, making Motorstorm: Arctic Edge a brilliantly well rounded arcade racer.
At the time of writing, the Nintendo DS has just passed 10 million sales in the UK making it the best ever selling console in UK history. When you consider that means one in six people in the country own a DS and the console has only been available for just under five years, it's astonishingly impressive. There's good reason behind this though, the DS continues to innovate with its games. Just looking at the selection of games below shows just what a wide variety of titles are available for the system. 2009 was also the year which the Nintendo DSi was released offering various hardware upgrades and most notably the DSi store where gamers can buy DSi exclusive games and applications.
Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
It was about time that a new great Zelda game came out and Spirit Tracks has done a fantastic job of proving just how great Nintendo really can still be. At first glance it looks like it's just Phantom Hourglass all over again, which it is in a way, but that's really no bad thing at all. The storyline is neatly woven into one of the best Zelda related stories in years. The puzzles are sublime and the ability to toggle between Zelda and Link is extremely welcome with dialogue between the two frequently humorous. Boss battles truly push the DS' graphical capabilities to the limit and are superb, showing that there is still some more left to the hardware. It might not technically be a true evolution from Phantom Hourglass but it is terrific fun, which is surely all that really matters.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
A true triumph of action/RPG cross over gaming, Bowser's Inside Story is fantastic and an unmissable title for DS owners even if it does involve spending time in Bowser's digestive system. The real hook to this game is that you don't just play Mario and Luigi; you also play Bowser as he tries to save his castle from the evil Lord Fawful. It actually feels like two games in one and it works great. The turn based combat system never gets dull thanks to well-timed button presses being frequently useful. Much like LittleBigPlanet for the PSP, Bowser's Inside Story brings ridiculous levels of fun to the DS, and surely there's no better recommendation than that?
Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics
It's not often that the DS version of a game is better than the Wii version but in the case of Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics, it couldn't be more true. Avoiding my initial hesitation at seeing Mario and Sonic in the same game, this really is excellent fun, plus it feels 'Christmassy'. The real joy of the game is in the Adventure Tours mode, unseen in the Wii version, which offers a full plotline and character interaction as well as all the events of the Winter Olympics. Along the way are various challenges which once completed unlock other characters from the game each with their own ability to help complete the Tour. Sure Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics might not be ideal for those after multiplayer action but for single player fun, this really is worth checking out.
Professor Layton and Pandora's Box
Professor Layton and the Curious Village was a huge hit last Christmas with both casual and hardcore gamers, and for good reason. No one can resist a brainteaser. We might not care too much about the plotline of the games but the various puzzles on offer are more than enough reason to keep you hooked. Some of them may be straight forward but the memorable ones are the ones that trick you into thinking they're more complicated than they actually are. You may feel annoyed at times but you'll always go back, determined not to be beaten by the game. Perhaps the best part though is the fact that the family can gather around the small screen at Christmas and try to determine just what needs to be done together, making it a surprisingly social game.
Hugely ambitious and innovative, Scribblenauts is a huge breath of fresh air. It looks fairly innocuous, a simple looking side scrolling adventure game with an array of puzzles in your path. The key to the magic however is Scribblenauts' comprehensive dictionary. You see, you can draw anything to solve the puzzle. Anything. Let that sink in for a little while then you'll realise the true potential here. You can add zombies to the game, dinosaurs, random three legged dogs, anything. All in the name of trying to figure out a puzzle. The real trick to enjoying this game is to try to think outside the box. Sure you could just draw a ladder to climb up something but that's far too easy, think a bit longer. Draw a dinosaur. You know you want to. Perfect fun for all the family.

I recently subscribed to the daily Business Recorder newspaper (a Pakistani national paper), in an attempt to get the latest in business news that help someone like me. I found the newspaper more than dismal as I, being an entrepreneur, and working in the (very) small and medium industry, did not find the newspaper as helpful as I'd hoped. I am not much concerned with the affect of stock markets on the national economy, nor the implications of some legislation on the country-wide situation on the availability of sugar. I wanted something more local and more concrete, something that talks directly to someone who qualifies as an entrepreneur (I found out quite later into the game that I am an entrepreneur actually). I am sure that there are many others out there in Lahore itself. I want my blog to represent this gap, and be a resource for the Pakistani entrepreneur. Of course, entrepreneurship being an attitude (definitions coming soon God willing), many of the subsequent posts on this blog will equally be 'talking to' any entrepreneur in any part of the world.
Had I been a businessman, I would have subscribed to a trade magazine. As an entrepreneur, I find it more riviting to hunt for new ideas and opportunities: the unavailability (as opposed to the shortage) of sugar, for example, presents an opportunity of business for anyone who can provide a steady, if not ample, supply of sugar to any shopping center within a reasonable rate. A businessman involved in the business of textile, for example, will not be bothered with such opportunities. And that, to the best of my limited knowledge, is the real difference between a businessman and an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur, at an given time, can be behaving like a businessman when he is focusing on only one enterprise, and a businessman can be acting like an entrepreneur if he is looking to diversify his business, or expand in other markets etc. Yes, the conclusion that I am trying to get at is that there is a very clear difference between a businessman and an entrepreneur. It is this very difference that allows for an entrepreneur to work seamlessly as an employee and work on his or her ideas to generate some returns.
In fact, entrepreneurship is very much a wholesome approach to life itself. The creativity and action-oriented attitude of a good entrepreneur is very much a desirable situation to be in (or to work towards).
My blog, LifeETC, will now be focusing on this very spirit from now on. I will be 'reporting from the trenches' in the coming weeks, inshAllah, and I hope to learn a lot of new methods of improving one's quality of life by being a better entrepreneur. Hope you guys stay tuned.

Worst crash at each track

We've seen some big crashes this season, but what were the worst crashes for wach track. We can also use historic race tracks. And although a driver dies at that track, its not neccesarily the worst accident there.
Albert Park: 2010 Kobayashi
Circuit Gilles Villenveuve: 2007 Kubica
Valencia Street Circuit: 2010 Webber
Circuit de Spa Francorchamps: 1998 just about everyone
Suzuka: 2009 Alguersuari (I cant remember any other ones)
Yeongam: 2010 Petrov
Interlagos: 2003 Just about everyone
Imola: 1989 Gerhard Berger27th October 2010, 15:23 at 3:23 pm #149123
Mark HitchcockParticipant
The one for Suzuka that springs to mind for me is Mcnish's one in Quali in '02: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFJmJsV_PMk27th October 2010, 15:32 at 3:32 pm #149124
Brundle at Albert Park, surely? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItC4s1WDAbU27th October 2010, 15:41 at 3:41 pm #149125
Didn't MSC also have a big shunt at 139R in 1991? If anyone can find a YouTube link…please share.27th October 2010, 16:03 at 4:03 pm #149126
Current ones, and only including F1 what I have seen since I started following:
Sakhir – not very bad ones there, but I say Hamilton in FP some years ago.
Melbourne – Brundle 1996
Sepang – Herbert 2000
Shanghai – Karthikeyan 2005
Barcelona – Kovalainen 2008
Istanbul – nothing big there either, but I choose 2008 start incident where Fisichella flew through the air
Montreal – Kubica 2007
Valencia – Webber 2010
Silverstone – Schumacher 1999
Hockenheim (new) – start crash 2003
Hungaroring – well Massa's one was just freak incident and the crash into tyre wall wasn't the worst one. I say Firman 2003
Spa – Zanardi 1993
Monza – 1st lap crash 2000
Singapore – Piquet 2008
Suzuka – McNish 2002
Yeongam – Petrov 2010
Interlagos – Alonso 2003
Abu Dhabi – none27th October 2010, 16:26 at 4:26 pm #149127
I think the worst at China was Buemi's. There isn't much scarier than going down that huge straight and just as you go to brake your wheels fly off!
Agree with the rest of your list though Bleu although Christian Fittipaldi's Monza backflip was probably the most spectacular crash at that track but not the worst.27th October 2010, 16:47 at 4:47 pm #149128
Dan ThornParticipant
What about Monaco? There's a whole host of choices for that. Fisi's in 2005 was quite big, and Brundle's in 1984 was bad as well. Then there's the huge start line pile up caused by Derek Daly in 1980, and Jenson's massive shunt in practice in 2003 which meant he couldnt start the race.
There was also a colossal shunt in the 1950 race when a freak wave soaked the track and caused a massive pile up, and who can forget when Ascari plunged into the harbour in '55.
And though it wasn't particularly destructive, but when Brabham crashed out of the lead on the last corner of the last lap in 1970 it must have been pretty bad for him!27th October 2010, 22:43 at 10:43 pm #149129
Regarding Bahrain, I would say Kimi's suspension failure in 200628th October 2010, 2:28 at 2:28 am #149130
Disagree with Melbourne. Villeneuve's crash in 2001 was definitely the worst, regardless of the fatality! He hadn't hit the brakes, so he was doing about 180mph when he connected with Ralf's Williams, he flew through the air, made heavy contact with the barriers mid-flight before cart-wheeling through the gravel trap. I am struggling to think of a more scary accident in the history of Formula 1! And I think Senna's fatal or Piquet's 1987 crashes at Tamburello were worse than Berger's. Berger didn't actually hit the wall as hard, he was just unlucky that the impact ruptured the fuel cell.
I agree with most others though. McNish's crash at Suzuka in 2002 remains the only time I have seen a car go through the barrier! Firman's crash in Hungary 2003 was also horrendous.28th October 2010, 11:40 at 11:40 am #149131
A few more to consider from the current tracks:
Interlagos – Brundle, Irvine Verstapppen 94. Not massive, but pretty scary bearing in mind the fact that Verstappen's wheel actually hit Brundle on the noggin.
Montreal – Panis 97. Ruined what could have been his best F1 season.
Monaco – Wendelinger 94. He was in a coma for months after this crash.28th October 2010, 14:14 at 2:14 pm #149132
Silverstone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QRjq1Vs3qA28th October 2010, 14:48 at 2:48 pm #149133
On the flip-side, how about 'worst' crash in terms of 'oh my god I can't believe he just did that'
China – Hamilton '07
Japan – Vettel into Webber '0828th October 2010, 16:11 at 4:11 pm #149134
Sakhir – Hamilton 2008 (FP) or Raikkonen 2006 (quali)
Melbourne – Ralf/JV 2001
Sepang – Herbert 2000 or Ralf/Webber 2005
Shanghai – Karthikeyan 2005
Barcelona – Kovalainen 2008
Monaco – Wendlinger 1994 (quali)
Istanbul – Montoya 2005 (although that's rather tame)
Montreal – Paletti 1982
Valencia – Webber 2010
Silverstone – Scheckter 1973
Hockenheim (new) – start crash 2003
Hungaroring – Firman 2003
Spa – 1st lap 1998 (by miles)
Monza – von Trips 1961, Rindt 1970, Petersen 1978
Singapore – Piquet 2008
Suzuka – Senna/Prost 1990
Yeongam – Petrov 2010
Interlagos – Alonso 2003
Abu Dhabi – none29th October 2010, 0:23 at 12:23 am #149135
Its not F1 but the worst crash at Abu Dhabi would probably have to be Natacha Gachnang's crash where she went straight on at the end of the straight.

Buffalo -- After going 1-3 on the first day of the NCAA Tournament, the Big East rebounded to go 3-1 on Friday.
The Big East lost Notre Dame, Marquette, Georgetown and Louisville in the first round of the tournament.
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim addressed the league's losses and the criticism that the Big East has taken for its performance over the past two days.
"Everybody has difficulty in this tournament,'' Boeheim said. "Notre Dame lost a 1-point game. Marquette lost a 1-point game; 2-point game. That's going to happen. That's the way things go. It's a difficult tournament.''
Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Villanova and West Virginia survived the first-round of the tournament.
Boeheim said the tournament isn't always the best measure of a league's strength.
"Everybody does it, but it's hard to measure a team or a league by what happens in the NCAA,'' Boeheim said. "The matchups you get and where the games are, there's just so many things that come into play. It's hard to judge a league based on that. I think it's very difficult.''

This is the translation of two recent analyses of NQ on Xueqiu.com, the Chinese counterpart of Seeking Alpha (original URL http://xueqiu.com/4364752522):
NQ: riding high, but can it reach escape velocity?
Every bull of NQ stock repeatedly cites a third party market research firm's mobile security market share data. But one must be careful about relying on market research data in China as they are often paid for, and therefore one has to combine it with on the ground observation and survey. Mobile security software survey is actually very easy if you can talk to enough average Chinese. The reality is, IT industry folks in China predominantly doubt NQ's China revenue, but think it's very successful overseas. But American analysts typically recite management supplied information and assumes NQ makes gobbles of money from China, which can be used to experiment with the nascent US market. Soon, both sides may realize the other side's story is not so reliable.
First, the more readily visible side, NQ's China business. This may be not surprise many IT veterans in China, but American investors hold on steadfastly to company provided market share and subscriber data, a typical behavior of "not doing your own work". This China "revenue" is meaningful. Filings show that in the 12 months ending Sep 30, 2012, China revenue reached $43M, or 58% of total. $37M of this was derived from mobile subscribers, and there were 5.6M paying users in China. Monthly active users in China was 49.7M, which grew 83% year over year. The remaining $6M revenue was generated from NQ-majority owned NationSky, whose revenue primarily comes from distributing/reselling handsets to corporate customers.
Based on ground research in five Chinese cities (covering all tiers from capital to provincial capital to 3-4th tier cities), covering mobile users, carrier stores, phone retailers, and prepaid card vendors, we found that there was no pre-installation of NQ software, no user who has paid for mobile security, no user intends to pay for mobile security, and worse yet, no prepaid card vendor who has heard of the name NQ (some of them are aware of mobile security software's existence, but they only mentioned Tencent, Qihoo, and Kingsoft). In common perception, Chinese mobile security market is dominated by Qihoo, Tencent, and Kingsoft. In this context, NQ's monthly active users of 50M and total registered user of 142M are startling figures, because the total smartphone installed base in China in the third quarter of last year was between 100M and 200M. While this total number may be different depending on whose number one quotes, no one in China will dispute that Qihoo, Tencent, and Kingsoft's combined security user far far exceeds NQ, and NQ cannot have more than 50% installed base market share (NQ supplied third party data shows greater than 60% market share). Even stranger is the fact that NQ's monthly active user in China jumped 83% in the third quarter last year, but during this time, Qihoo and Tencent were swiftly taking market share in China.
In light of such extreme ground checks, how can we explain NQ's revenue from Chinese mobile users? Unauthorized fee deduction is one possibility, and inflated revenue is another.
Due to the fact that many prepaid mobile users cannot easily monitor their fee balance in China, unauthorized fee deduction was a major source of income for Chinese Wireless Value Added Service market. However, as China Mobile cracked down and cleaned up this value chain, this road is getting narrower and narrower, and cannot be a reliable source of growth. In other words, even if this revenue was real cash revenue, it's not sustainable. As a matter of fact, NQ's revenue derived from China Mobile dropped to 1% of total revenue in 2011 from 48% of total in 2009.
Inflating revenue needs a cooperating partner to manufacture evidence of revenue, but the cooperating partner is unlikely to provide assistance with cash flow, leading to the outcome of skyrocketing receivable days (revenue grows strongly, but cash flow stays low). As a matter of fact, NQ's receivable days skyrocketed in 2010, and has stayed at this level since then, which is much higher than similar companies: receivable days was 69 at end of 2009, 208 at end of 2010, 192 at end of 2011, and was flat year over year in the first 3 quarters of 2012. Similar businesses (in terms of having to collect from China Mobile) are KongZhong, with a receivable days of 40-50, and Linktone, with a receivable days of 70-100.
Who could this cooperating partner be? Filings show that revenue from Tianjin Yidatong successively increased as a proportion of total revenue. It accounted for 25% of NQ's China revenue in 2009, 33% in 2010, 46% in 2011, and 48% in first quarter of 2012. Though this is not defined as a related party, in reality it's very likely to be closely allied with NQ. Web search shows that the two companies have close relationship. This is the Web address of a consumer complaints site and an excerpt (in Chinese):
In China, circumventing the definition of related party should not be difficult.
NQ is trying to reduce its reliance on Chinese consumer "business" through frequent acquisitions. But its big move was on NationSky, whose main business was selling smartphones, low margin, low cash flow, and the only purpose was to maintain China revenue growth through financial consolidation. Feiliu's value is yet to be seen, but the "3/15" consumer expose and the white hot competitive market it is in, apps store (with strong players like Qihoo, 91, Tencent, Jifeng, Wandoujia, etc.), makes it hard to get optimistic on Feiliu. Feiliu's acquisition price was an order of magnitude lower than the estimated valuation of the aforementioned app stores, implying a negative growth outlook on Feiliu. NQ also acquired stakes in 3 other small companies. If a company's main business has a lot of room to grow, it should invest capital into its main business, not into lateral acquisitions. If it claims to be asset light and doesn't need reinvestment, then it will attract competition. If it claims to have a high barrier to entry, and no one else can compete with it, then it must demonstrate its barrier to entry. Is it highly sticky and paying user group (really can't find evidence of that)? Is it meaningfully stronger technology (it's a commodity product)?
NQ's auditor is PWC Zhongtian. Though it doesn't have so many problematic customers as Deloitte, it also stumbled badly on Ambow. Even though NQ's P/E has always been very low, its VC investors were in a rush to exit, and was forced to withdraw a secondary offering. The difficult prospect of its Chinese business may be the reason.
Now on to the overseas business. First of all, NQ's heavy hope is on the US market, but there has been no number disclosure on this market (too immaterial, even though NQ claimed to have entered the US market very early). The considerable overseas business (42% of total revenue) only came with very high level disclosure. Qatar Telecom was the only named customer overseas, but as far as we know, Qatar Telecom has switched vendor (it won't bring much revenue anyways). Eastern Europe and Middle Eastern countries' popoulation and user volume are negligible, and the big population country in Southeast Asia is Indonesia. But there is no sign of NQ working with Indonesia's main carrier. Then there is Latin America. But AMX, the big carrier in Latin America, just signed in the past few days. So where does this historical overseas revenue come from? Hard to guess. The high receivable days of NQ gives some clue.
What about the prospect of overseas market? In the US, NQ is a latecomer, facing LookOut (two top tier Silicon Valley VC backed, ample cash, on par with post-IPO NQ), and McAfee, Symantec the traditional security vendors. On Google Play store, it's pretty much game over, because this channel makes the incumbent hard to displace (LookOut). This is because Play ranking is determined by existing popularity ranking. Going through carriers is a less appealing strategy. Historically, there was never any small company that got successful by relying on carriers to go to market. But NQ has to do this. Three of the big 4 carriers in the US have already signed with LookOut and other US vendors (LookOut is different, it already has a leadership position in app store, and is not beholden to the carrier channel), with VZ left. But in light of the high commoditization of the mobile security software, the bargaining power of the giant carrier is even stronger. And to convince the premium subscriber targeting VZ to overlook NQ's governance risks will be difficult. The two carriers that signed with NQ are in struggling mode. There are several VZ distributors and NationSky-like corporate facing smartphone vendors too, but their decision basis was a third party report sponsored by NQ.
AMX is a partner with real potential, because of its large user base and good profitability. But trouble is, AMX's main business is in developing countries in Latin America. Even though it has presence in the US, it's mainly targeting the low income (including illegal immigrant) population. The willingness to pay of this population is not necessarily higher than Chinese. Security software commoditization will also give AMX very strong bargaining power.
The best outcome of NQ will be for investors to continue to ignore the authenticity of its China business (close to 50%), and give it enough time to experiment with overseas market. The fundamentals of the overseas market is not great, but there's a chance that the US CEO and overseas brokerages can prop it up for a short while. But even if this is the case, the two CEOs and the two teams will need to significantly re-allocate the economics, which could bring big uncertainty to the operations of the company.
Translation of a follow up post:
AMX, due to its status as belonging to the world's richest person, has a halo effect no less than Buffett. But in reality, the revenue potential for NQ will not be that great. Filings show that AMX's US subsidiary has an ARPU of only $18, far below mainstream carriers' $45-$55, strongly suggesting its customers' ability to pay (let alone willingness to pay). Other markets are all in Latin America, and Mexico has the highest ARPU, of only $14. Secondly, from a channel influence perspective, 80-90% of AMX's users are prepaid (not contract) users, and bought their own handsets, so AMX cannot effectively preload NQ software onto those smartphones, greatly reducing its marketing effectiveness. AMX's cost control should be superior, as it can reach 10% pretax profit margin for its US subsidiary with such a low ARPU. Conversely, they must keep their supplier prices very low. Low ARPU population plus strong carrier as a gatekeeper (AMX will use its own brand, not NQ brand), and one can imagine, the economic benefits from the AMX partnership to NQ will not be great.
However, AMX is a respectable company, and it does increase the legitimacy of the overseas business, despite the fact that 60% of NQ's reported revenue was from China and very gray, and the 40% of revenue from overseas is also very non-transparent. If the US CEO realizes that his business is in fact the only real business for NQ, he may not be happy to keep working for the Chinese owner.Stocks: NQBack To bettercorporategovernance's Instablog HomePage »

If you read NQ financial report carefully, you can understand that most of analysis in this paper are wrong.
NQ uses the definition of "user account", not "user". If one user installed two NQ products, it will be defined as two user accounts. If one user has two phones with same NQ product, it will be also defined as two user accounts. I think the number of actual real users will be less than 50M (which is active user accounts). 142M is the cumulative registered NQ user accounts for the past 7 years.
The privacy issues have been recognized by China users. For examples, there are over 80 million governement officers and businessman in china. If a privcay leakage happens, it may be a disaster to their careers. Security is more important to high and middle-end users. They do not care "free", just care 100% privacy protection. Do they choose "free with high privacy risk " or "60 RMB per year with 100% security and privacy protection"? Today China is not a poor country any more. The economic trends of China will be like US and Japan.
According to financial report and announcement, NQ has many named partners outside China, Qualcomm, Mediatek, Telefonica, vodafone, HTC, Moto, Samsung, Sony, HUAWEI, ZTE etc, and includes top 5 carriers, top 2 mobile chipset makers, 7 out of top 10 handset makers in the world.
For this sentence "As a matter of fact, NQ's revenue derived from China Mobile dropped to 1% of total revenue in 2011 from 48% of total in 2009." I think it is wrong.
I have read the NQ financial report. NQ collect payment through different channels, including carriers, Alipay, Credit card, Service Card, etc. According to China Mobile, NQ collect payment through direct from China Mobile or third-party service providers.

I read this blog piece 3-4 times. It honestly sounds like a bunch of unsubstantiated innuendo and factually incorrect statements with zero evidence. Vague references to "IT industry folk" and "IT veterans" are just not credible. If this is the best the shorts can do, NQ is an easy double or triple from here. We may witnessing the dying desperate gasp of panicked shorts...
bettercorporategovernance, contributorbeing vague is a necessity when someone may want to go after you. If I'm David Einhorn attacking HLF, a US company, I can be forthcoming because of the rule of law here.
Pretty impressive and detailed rebuttal of this blogpost: http://seekingalpha.co...

A titular see, suffragan of Ephesus in Asia Minor. It was founded, it is said, by the Argians and Thracians, and is situated on one of the slopes of Mount Messogis in the valley of the Meander; it was one of the most populous and richest cities of Lydia. King Attalus had a splendid palace there. The local god was Zeus Larasios, but Apollo Pythius and other divinities were also worshiped.
Tralles was destroyed by an earthquake but was rebuilt by Augustus and took the name of Caesarea. Christianity was introduced at a very early date. In his famous letter to the Church at Tralles, St. Ignatius of Antioch says that their bishop, Polybius, visited him at Smyrna, and he puts them on their guard against Docetism. We see by this letter that the Church there was already well organized. Among its bishops were: Heracleon, in 431; Maximus, in 451; Uranius, in 553; Myron, in 692; Theophylactus, in 787; Theophanes and Theopistus, in the ninth century; John, in 1230 (Revue des etudes grecques, VII, 80). In 640 ("Ecthesis Pseudo-Epiphanii"; Gelzer, "Ungedruckte. . . .Texte der notitiae episcopatuum", 537). Tralles appears as suffragan of Sardes in Lydia, and we know, despite Le Quien (Oriens christ., I, 697), that it was such in 553. Towards 1270 Andronicus, son of Michael VIII Palaeologus, rebuilt and repeopled the city; it then numbered 36,000 inhabitants, but it was not long before it was retaken and demolished by the Turks (Pachymeres, "De Michaele Palaeologo", VI, 20 and 21, in P.G., CXLIII, 929-34). The emir Aïdin then gave it the name which it still bears, Aïdin Guzel-Hissar; it is a sanjak of the vilayet of Smyrna, numbering 40,000 inhabitants, of whom 28,000 are Mussulmans, 10,000 Greek Schismatics, and the remainder Jews or Armenians. There are 120 Catholics. The Mechitarists of Vienna and the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul have two schools there. Tralles was the birthplace of Anthemius, the architect of St. Sophia of Constantinople.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

August 27: Reds (74-58) @ Cardinals (77-54)
Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com
The Cardinals added to their bullpen on Tuesday by calling up reliever Fernando Salas and optioning Tyler Lyons to Triple-A. The move means that Lyons will not pitch on Sunday, as initially scheduled. The Cardinals will likely use Thursday's off day to shrink down to a four-man rotation, which would mean Joe Kelly would come back on normal rest to pitch Sunday. The Cardinals would then not need a fifth starter until next Tuesday.
Players optioned to the Minors typically have to remain there for a minimum of 10 days. But with the Triple-A season ending on Monday, players on that roster can be recalled to the Majors at any point afterward. That means Lyons can return on Tuesday, which would be that day the Cardinals again need a fifth starter.
The organization's other option would be to plug Michael Wacha or Carlos Martinez into the rotation in place of Lyons. If the Cardinals do this, they could just stick with a five-man rotation and not use the off day to skip a spot. Manager Mike Matheny was evasive this afternoon when asked about the team's immediate plans, so he offered no clarity to these scenarios.

board size question
View Single Post
21st June 2012, 08:12 AM
nakaniko unreg.
Posts: n/a
I don't see the problem. I agree with Roger, a 68 kg guy can easily uphaul over a 100 lt board, ad with a 5,3 that is the best board for a nomal-intermediate sailor. I'm 90 kg and I easily uphaul over a 112 old board (Mistral Score), even using a slightly out of range Superfreak 8,0.
Obviously if someone wants to have more volume to have more safety for the conditions, and/or for his still low learning level, none forbid to use a bigger board, well knowing that it will be less than perfect. In the first years I rode a Mistral Echo 138 lt even in waves in the sea with NW strong wind in Tunscany, yes it was a rodeo, but I was able to uphaul even in the middle of the sea (yes I also was younger...).
Volume is reated to sails, are the sails that change range of wind and use with different weights.
