Historic Event at Riyue Bay Sees Amazing Conditions on Day 2 of Hainan Classic; First Perfect 10-Point Score in China Registered by Frenchman Marc Lacomare
Hainan Wanning Riyue Bay International Surfing Festival Presented by Quiksilver
Thursday, January 12, 2012
Wanning, Hainan Island, China
After yesterday's conditions, competitors and organizers of the Hainan Classic – an ASP 4-Star organized by the ISA – couldn't have expected much better. But China continues to surprise and impress. When the first heat horn sounded this morning, conditions had improved overnight, the waves were larger, the offshore winds were howling and the big scores started dropping early and often.
"It's just getting better and better the bigger it gets and it's just pretty much unreal for four guys to have a heat out there at the moment, especially for half an hour," said Dion Atkinson (AUS), who won the opening heat of the Round of 32 with a score of 15.43. "Every ride is almost too long, your arms are pretty done by the end of [the paddle back out]."
And that was just the beginning.
As each heat progressed on Day 2 of the Hainan Classic, the second event of the Hainan Wanning Riyue Bay International Surfing Festival Presented by Quiksilver, the level of surfing continued to improve.
At some point during the day, surfers caught notice of the wave further up the point. "During my heat I was watching the point and I saw all the guys getting barrels so after my heat I gave [the beach marshals] my singlet and ran back up the point and just got a couple," said Romain Cloitre (FRA), who was another heat winner in the Round of 32.
The sand bottom top-of-the-point section was barreling, and the pros in the lineup were comparing it to "Kirra going left!" As Fernando Aguerre, the president of the ISA, pointed out, "it's probably the best warm-up area for a contest ever."
"We knew this wave was going to be good, but we never knew it would be this good," Aguerre continued. "Some of the guys who were freesurfing up the point were calling it one of the 10 best waves in the world. The guys are going up there and getting barreled and then paddling out for their heat and getting long, amazing waves. China has been very good to the ISA, the ASP and everyone involved."
As if the day's proceedings needed more excitement, Heat 6 of the Round of 32 witnessed the best wave of the event and the first perfect 10 in a contest in China. Already proving to be one of the in-form surfers in the competition, Marc Lacomare (FRA) took off on a six-foot set, and began the ride with a massive floater followed by a fins-free snap, which could have been the end of the ride, as he side-slipped down the face.
"I thought I was going to lose it, but I held on and saw this little barrel and pulled in," he explained. After the full cover-up, he flew out onto the open face and made a swooping turn and punctuated the ride with a layback snap just as the wave closed out. "It's good when everything comes together; that barrel was a nice little bonus, so I'm stoked," Lacomare said. "I'm not that stoked that he beat me at the end."
Despite the perfect ride, Lacomare was bumped into second late in the heat when his fellow countryman, Joan Duru recorded a 9.0 for a total heat score of 17.0. "The conditions are perfect, and I was with Marc so I wanted us both to make it – then he started with a ten, and it was a sick wave," Duru said afterward. "After I got my two good waves, we were just having fun outside; we just wanted to surf, it was like a freesurf with just four people. It was amazing."
Competition resumes in the morning with the first heat of the Round of 16. After all 8 heats are completed, the contest will progress into the quarterfinals, which will be run in man-on-man format. According to the Surfline forecast, conditions are expected to hold steady, with a slight decrease in the swell in the afternoon.
The webcast will be live at the sound of the first heat horn, at 9:00am local time (5:00pm PST – 8:00pm EST). Watch it online on www.hainaninternationalsurfingfestival.com/hainan-classic/live.

14 Moments From WALE's Breakfast Club Interview
Wale's made a splash on Revolt TV, he's the first artist to debut a personal documentary on the network.
The documentary, Wale: I Am From, followed Wale, for a week, in Africa during his personal family visits and press run.
Wale chats with The Breakfast Club about the trip to Africa, his Complex magazine beef, fashion and more.
Check out 14 highlights from the interview listed below:
- Confirms that he's embraced his Nigerian culture a long time from now.
- Admits that his emotions are similar to Meek Mill's "Dreams and Nightmare's" song
- Wale loves his feature in Haper's Bazaar, he likes that he's been embraced by the "fashion world" on his own terms. This is a great feat for him 'because lots of ppl dressing funny' in order to be accepted.
- Wale says that J. Cole is a "jerk too," and 'he's more of jerk than me." The main difference is that J. Cole's "quiet about it."
- He says he'll never be a sweetheart to the media. In his own words, "I'm not going to be Janelle Monae. I'm not going to be the 'media's darling.'"
- He's not sure if his next album will have radio singles and it's not something he will chase after.
- Will save all of his rants for his interviews with The Breakfast Club
- Growing up was a challenge, he was in a detention center for grades 6-12th. His parents demanded that he'd get the house by 4pm after school.
- The relationship with his mother isn't the "greatest," but he "loves her to death."
- His first trip to Nigeria happened last year and it was an "emotional rollercoaster." Time management was the biggest struggle because he had to make time for family and business.
- In regards to always been seen as the "angry black rapper," Wale wants you to 'think of me the next time you want that raise.'
- Complex magazine won't hurt him anymore.
- Wale doesn't care "for the money," he loves the sport of rapping and that will always come first.
- Wale feels "fronted on" because he was not nominated for a Grammy when he has the most played urban record, "Bad" ft Tiara Thomas.

Dr. David Pilgrim is a public speaker and one of this country's leading experts on issues relating to multiculturalism, diversity, and race relations. He has been interviewed by National Public Radio, Time magazine, the British Broadcasting Corporation, and dozens of newspapers, including the New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, and the Los Angeles Times. Dr. Pilgrim is best known as the founder and curator of the Jim Crow Museum-a 12,000 piece collection of racist artifacts located at Ferris State University. The museum uses objects of intolerance to teach tolerance. Dr. Pilgrim's writings, many found on the museum's web site (www.ferris.edu/jimcrow), are used by scholars, students, and civil rights workers to better understand historical and contemporary expressions of racism. The web site has been linked to hundreds of sites and has resulted in Dr. Pilgrim being invited to deliver public lectures at many institutions, including Stanford University, Spring Arbor College, the University of Michigan, Smith College, and the University of North Carolina.
Dr. Pilgrim is an applied sociologist with a doctorate from The Ohio State University. He believes that racism can be objectively studied and creatively assailed. In 2004, he produced with Clayton Rye the documentary Jim Crow's Museum to explain his approach to battling racism. The film won several awards including Best Documentary at the 2004 Flint Film Festival. Marc Haefele, a film critic at the Los Angeles Daily News called the documentary, a "grisly low-key masterpiece." Jim Crow's Museum is shown nationally on affiliates of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Dr. Pilgrim's writings, scholarly and creative, deal with multiculturalism and race relations. His short stories have been published in Calaloo, Obsidian, African American Review, Aim, and Shooting Star.
Dr. Pilgrim and Carrie Weis created two traveling exhibitions to take the Jim Crow Museum's lessons to a national audience. Hateful Things is a 39-unit traveling exhibition of objects found in the Jim Crow Museum. The objects are accompanied by didactic panels that place the images in the proper historical context-offering insight into their past and present popularity-and effects. Hateful Things has traveled to many institutions, including Aquinas College, Delta College, Utah Valley State College, and the Black Holocaust Museum. Dr. Pilgrim and Ms. Weis, in 2005, created a second traveling exhibition, Them: Images of Separation, a 35-unit exhibition that deals with the stereotyping of women, poor Whites, gays, Jewish Americans, Native Americans, Mexican Americans, African Americans, and Asian Americans-and others. Dr. Pilgrim believes that Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. was right when he said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Diversity is more than a black-white issue; more, indeed, than a racial issue.
In 2006, Dr. Pilgrim served as a consultant to Will Smith (directorial debut) for the UPN television show, All Of Us. Mr. Smith wanted to make sure that the episode-called "The N-Word"-dealt with issues of race and racism in a non-stereotypical fashion.
Dr. Pilgrim challenges audiences to think deeply about diversity and race relations. Dr. Pilgrim is a Ferris State University Distinguished Teacher. Dr. Pilgrim has spent his adult life using objects of intolerance to teach tolerance. It works. His goal is to get people talking about diversity and race relations in meaningful ways-and, then, to go and do something positive.

Five Great First Date Ideas
Coffee dates? Been there. Cocktails? Done that. Try something new for a great first date!
Planning a first date can be exciting but it can also become routine and tired. If you have been on a string of first dates, you may find yourself consistently planning the same night out. Going to dinner, meeting for coffee or cocktails at happy hour seem to be the norm.
Don't save the fun and interesting dates for later in the relationship. Why wait? Shake up your routine and try something new. If you're bored of going out for dinner and the barista at Starbucks knows your name, it's time to think outside the dating box. Here are five great ideas for your first date.
Read The Post-Breakup Social Media Guide
1. Find your inner Top Chef.
Rather than go to dinner, learn how to make dinner or dessert. Go to a local culinary school or cooking center and take a class together. It's a great way to work together and create a delicious dish. They say a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Take the direct approach and get to cooking.
2. Explore vineyards of the world.
Take a wine tasting class together. Find a local winery, wine bar or restaurant to learn more about wine and food pairing. Buy a bottle that you both enjoy and plan to drink it on your second date. Be sure to sip and not gulp. Try not to get drunk, unless you're drunk on love.
Read the rest here!

Linda - from Melbourne, FL
You can add extracts and candy flavors to rolled fondant - simply knead it in. Don't add too much, though - you don't want to overshadow the great flavor of your cake.
Some people also feel that the rolled fondant picks up the flavor of the buttercream icing underneath if they put more than a crumb coating of buttercream on the cake first.

ARLINGTON — Thor sharpened the Viking's spear, sword and hatchet.
It's the details that matter in chain saw art, he said.
Bruce "Thor" Thorsteinson, a self-described "gypsy chain-saw carver," is putting the finishing touches on a 10-foot sculpture of a fierce Viking cut from a large cedar log. The statue was commissioned by Everett's Normanna Lodge, a chapter of the Sons of Norway.
The Viking will be placed on guard this week at the grounds of Normanna Park on Lake Riley, northeast of Arlington, a private park for members of the lodge.
Eric Ostlund, 44, a lodge member who lives in Snohomish, came up with the idea for the giant Viking. He is the grandson of Torchy and Helen Ostlund, who were longtime leaders in the Everett lodge and among those who helped establish the park.
"So working with Thor on this statue is one way I am trying to continue our traditions at the park. I grew up on Lake Riley, as have my kids and stepkids," Ostlund said. "The Viking may be my smartest idea yet, besides marrying my wife, Heidi."
It's been 50 years since the Norwegian families of Everett established the park, a recreational benefit of membership in the Scandinavian fraternity. About 100 cabins surround the lake, where people swim and fish. The Viking is to be named and dedicated at the lodge's annual midsummer celebration at Lake Riley, in honor of those who established the park.
With the anniversary of the park on the horizon, Ostlund was thumbing through the Sons of Norway magazine a few years ago when he saw a photo of a 20-foot-high chain-saw carving of a similar Viking.
"When I went to get bids, I found that the cost of commissioning such a thing was ungodly, way out of the lodge's price range," Ostlund said. "You know the old joke about how copper wire was invented by two Norwegians fighting over a penny?"
Lodge member Luree McGee, also a carver, had met Thorsteinson at a chain-saw gathering on the East Coast, and she put the men in touch with each other. A deal was struck for the carving of the Viking at a price substantially less than what Ostlund anticipated. He declined to say the exact price.
"I gave Thor a basic outline of what we wanted and he went to town," Ostlund said. "He's Icelandic, so he claimed the Viking as his ancestor, too."
Thorsteinson's great-grandparents on his father's side came to Washington from Iceland in the 1890s, and there's Scandinavian blood on his mother's side, too, he said.
Thorsteinson, 49, grew up in south King County with an artistic bent, loving cartooning and painting.
"I've never been interested in much else except ice cream and women," he said.
Following a stint in the Navy, Thorsteinson became an itinerant artist. After carving signs and figures throughout Western Washington, he left home to participate in chain saw carving competitions across the United States and Europe.
"I've been hungry in almost every state and later I became an international starving artist," Thorsteinson said. "But I have faith in the Lord that I am doing what I was meant to do."
The work on the Viking began in December at the home of his friends, Dave and Debbie Tremko, who are Arlington-based chain-saw carvers. A couple of summers ago, the Tremkos got married during a chain-saw exhibition in Arlington. At 3 p.m. Saturday during the annual Arlington-Stillaguamish Eagle Festival, the Tremkos plan to host an auction of newly carved pieces by numerous chain saw artists, including Thorsteinson.
Thorsteinson has been living at their place, which is covered with chain-saw art, logs and a lot of sawdust.
Under plastic sheeting and surrounded by scaffolding, he started the carving by roughly shaping the Viking's head from the top of the cedar log, which Sons of Norway bought from Bruce Blacker at his sawmill in Oso.
The carver stopped for a while after Christmas when his father, Larry Thorsteinson, 76, disappeared from an assisted living facility in Morton, Wash. The elder Thorsteinson was last seen in Portland at a Home Depot.
"I had to take a break from the Viking because my head wasn't in it," Thorsteinson said. "My dad is hitchhiking. He is missing four fingers on his left hand. If you see him, call the police."
Ostlund said he is grateful for the carver's help and his expert artistry, especially under the circumstances.
"We really appreciate Thor's enthusiasm for the project," Ostlund said.
Thorsteinson said it's been a pleasure and a good distraction, even when sawdust gets in his mouth.
"A high fiber diet is a by-product of the work," he said with a laugh as he sanded the statue's spear. "I love the Viking. The Vikings were traveling men like me."

What drives our work isn't profit – it's impact.
At The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), we believe journalism that moves citizens to action is an essential pillar of democracy. Since 1977, CIR has relentlessly pursued and revealed injustices that otherwise would remain hidden from the public eye. Today, we're upholding this legacy and looking forward, working at the forefront of journalistic innovation to produce important stories that make a difference and engage you, our audience, across the aisle, coast to coast and worldwide.
Our work is fact-based, nonpartisan and truth-driven. This means that we can follow the story wherever it leads us because we're not beholden to outside pressures or interests. We commit every resource we have to fulfilling our mission: informing and empowering the public and holding the powerful accountable. We give a voice to the voiceless, critical information to those previously left in the dark and a wider, more visible arena to expose abuses of power.
What keeps CIR alive isn't money or profit – it's impact. Our stories reveal injustices and arm the public with the facts needed to spark federal legislation, policy change at all levels of government, public interest lawsuits, reforms in corporate practices, op-eds that move the needle of public opinion and more. CIR's stories are at the center of news reports and community conversations.
CIR is the only nonprofit journalism organization with the in-house ability to produce stories on every available media platform – from print to video, radio and interactive data applications – so that our reporting is accessible, engaging and presented for maximum impact.

Our goal is to make our investigations accessible, inclusive and participatory. In doing so, we invite the public to hold us accountable for producing the best and deepest reporting on issues that affect their lives. We also ask them to validate the worth of our work by sharing and acting on the information we uncover.
Injustices and exploitations of power often are deeply hidden. Getting to the truth can take months or even years and requires highly specialized skills that most journalists don't have.

recommend downloading the VM version and running it in VMWare Fusion.
Can somebody please tell me how to run this on a mac? I have mac os 10.6.8
Thank you
recommend downloading the VM version and running it in VMWare Fusion.
It's possible if you treat it the same as bootcamp, but as a few of us Mac users will point out, it's almost not worth the effort. Get yourself a USB wifi dongle if you need one, and run Backtrack inside a VBox VM.
That said, your statement of what operating system you have indicates a general lack of experience in operating system installation (among other things). Your best bet would be to start with something easier like Ubuntu or CentOS, get used to how the whole thing goes together before you start trying to crack stuff. Safer.
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
or you could google that question.. There's always that.
I think a virtual machine would be the best bet, you can play around with backtrack then without damaging your machine (well unless you hack into your own machine an mess stuff up but thats really unlikly)

I've posted a few times here and lurked here much longer. My birth experience along with the following weeks were perfect because of this board So thank you all for that!
I would appreciate all the thoughts (and/or prayers for those who are spiritual even though I am not) I can get.
Friday we had LO's 4 month check up. I've been rather anxious for this one because we have had many bumps it seems like (severe jaundice, GERD, hernia, ear infection). I know it could be worse but its been rough this far.
The peditrictian was concerned that he didn't look at as toned as he should. It was also concerning that he isn't grabbing anything, able to pass from hand to hand, and won't even try to life his head during tummy time. They sent us for blood and pee tests along with a head ultrasound (his soft spot is still rather large). The ultrasound came back completely normal. However...
One of the blood tests came back with a higher than normal level of an enzyme that causes muscle weakness. The peditrician said she wasn't sure what this meant yet or if that was contributing to his delay. They are calling me tomorrow with an appointment time with a pediatric neurologist.
I've been a wreck all weekend. I bawled the past two nights. I will randomly break down crying while holding LO. DH (dear husband) has been my rock and I can see the worry in his eye as well. ODS (5yr) knows that LO (little one) is sick but that we are taking him to Dr's so he will feel better soon.
Only a few friends and family members know. They have all been very respectful havent't bombarded me with questions yet. I wouldn't be able to handle it if they did.
Squish pics for your enjoyment :)

Proverbs 1: [22] O children, how long will you love childishness, and fools covet those things which are hurtful to themselves, and the unwise hate knowledge?[23] Turn ye at my reproof: behold I will utter my spirit to you, and will shew you my words.
Psalms 74:[5] I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up your horns.
[6] Lift not up your horns on high: speak not iniquity against God. [7] For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills: [8] For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:
[9] For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.
Isaias (Isaiah) 56:[8] The Lord God, who gathereth the scattered of Israel, saith: I will still gather unto him his congregation. [9] All ye beasts of the field come to devour, all ye beasts of the forest. [10] His watchmen are all blind, they are all ignorant: dumb dogs not able to bark, seeing vain things, sleeping and loving dreams.
[11] And meet impudent dogs, they never had enough: the shepherds themselves knew no understanding: all have turned aside into their own way, every one after his own gain, from the first even to the last. [12] Come, let us take wine, and be filled with drunkenness: and it shall be as today, so also tomorrow, and much more.
Proverbs 15: [8] The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable. [9] The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: he that followeth justice is beloved by him.
Jeremias (Jeremiah) 4: [19] My bowels, my bowels are in pain, the senses of my heart are troubled within me, I will not hold my peace, for my soul hath heard the sound of the trumpet, the cry of battle. [20] Destruction upon destruction is called for, and all the earth is laid waste: my tents are destroyed on a sudden, and my pavilions in a moment.
[21] How long shall I see men fleeing away, how long shall I hear the sound of the trumpet? [22] For my foolish people have not known me: they are foolish and senseless children: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.[23] I beheld the earth, and lo it was void, and nothing: and the heavens, and there was no light in them. [24] I looked upon the mountains, and behold they trembled: and all the hills were troubled. [25] I beheld, and lo there was no man: and all the birds of the air were gone.
Psalms 36:[10] For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
[11] But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace. [12] The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
[13] But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come. [14] The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart. [15] Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
[16] Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked. [17] For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just. [18] The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever. [19] They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled: [20] Because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
Isaias (Isaiah) 59:[1] Behold the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save, neither is his ear heavy that it cannot hear. [2] But your iniquities have divided between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you that he should not hear.
[3] For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity: your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue uttereth iniquity. [4] There is none that calleth upon justice, neither is there any one that judgeth truly: but they trust in a mere nothing, and speak vanities: they have conceived labour, and brought forth iniquity.

Jeremias (Jeremiah) 23: [23] Am I, think ye, a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? [24] Shall a man be hid in secret places, and I not see him, saith the Lord? do not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? [25] I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, and say: I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
[26] How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, and that prophesy the delusions of their own heart? [27] Who seek to make my people forget my name through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbour: as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.
Deuteronomy 32: [4] The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments: God is faithful and without any iniquity, he is just and right.[5] They have sinned against him, and are nose of his children in their filth: they are a wicked and perverse generation.
Isaias (Isaiah) 59: [7] Their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are unprofitable thoughts: wasting and destruction are in their ways. [8] They have not known the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their steps: their paths are become crooked to them, every one that treadeth in them, knoweth no peace.
[9] Therefore is judgment far from us, and justice shall not overtake us. We looked for light, and behold darkness: brightness, and we have walked in the dark. [10] We have groped for the wall, and like the blind we have groped as if we had no eyes: we have stumbled at noonday as in darkness, we are in dark places as dead men.
[11] We shall roar all of us like bears, and shall lament as mournful doves. We have looked for judgment, and there is none: for salvation, and it is far from us. [12] For our iniquities are multiplied before thee, and our sins have testified against us: for our wicked doings are with us, and we have known our iniquities:
[13] In sinning and lying against the Lord: and we have turned away so that we went not after our God, but spoke calumny and transgression: we have conceived, and uttered from the heart, words of falsehood. [14] And judgment is turned away backward, and justice hath stood far off: because truth hath fallen down in the street, and equity could not come in. [15] And truth hath been forgotten: and he that departed from evil, lay open to be a prey: and the Lord saw, and it appeared evil in his eyes, because there is no judgment.
[16] And he saw that there is not a man: and he stood astonished, because there is none to oppose himself:
[15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot.
[16] But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth. [17] Because thou sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, and have need of nothing: and knowest not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
[18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich; and mayest be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. [19] Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance. [20] Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
[21] To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne. [22] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Abdias (Obadiah) 1:[15] For the day of the Lord is at hand upon all nations: as thou hast done, so shall it be done to thee: he will turn thy reward upon thy own head.
Isaias (Isaiah)66:[15] For behold the Lord will come with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind, to render his wrath in indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
[16] For the Lord shall judge by fire, and by his sword unto all flesh, and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
[17] They that were sanctified, and thought themselves clean in the gardens behind the gate within, they that did eat swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.

As many as four people were injured Monday morning when a sedan and a big rig collided in Culver City, causing the big rig to jackknife and the car to become partially stuck under the truck, the California Highway Patrol said.
The accident was reported at 2:55 a.m. on the southbound San Diego (405) Freeway at Washington Boulevard, according to the CHP.
The CHP shut down all but the slow lane for about 30 minutes to clear the car and jackknifed big rig, officials said.
A press photographer at the scene said an adult was trapped inside the car and had to be extricated by Culver City firefighters.
He said another adult and two children were not trapped but needed help getting out of the car. All four were transported to hospitals for treatment of injuries, according to the photographer.

LONG BEACH - Students enrolled in California Partnership Academies are more likely to graduate from high school and complete courses required to attend the state's public universities, according to a report released this week by State Superintendent Tom Torlakson.
CPAs are small learning communities within larger high schools where students follow a multiyear program focused on career and technical skills. California has 500 CPAs, serving 3percent of all students in grades 10 through 12.
The CPAs in the Long Beach Unified School District include Poly High School's Pacific Rim Academy; and Jordan High School's Aspirations in Medical Services Academy and its Architecture, Construction and Engineering Academy, or ACE.
The study, called A Profile of the California Partnership Academies 2009-2010, reviewed test scores, attendance and graduation rates for CPA students.
Among the key findings:
95 percent of seniors in CPAs go on to graduate, compared with 85 percent of students statewide.
57 percent of CPA graduates fulfilled the courses required for admission to University of California or California State University systems, compared with 36 percent statewide.
African-American and Latino seniors graduated at significantly higher rates from CPAs. The difference was 16 percent higher for African-Americans and 14 percent higher for Latinos.
With more than 200 CPAs set to lose funding at the end of the school year, supporters hope the study's findings will help protect and expand the programs.
"These results are encouraging, and provide one more reason to address the financial emergency facing our schools by investing in education again," Torlakson said in a statement. "We must continue to fund these successful programs and think boldly about how we build on these successes."
CPAs are under the umbrella of Linked Learning programs, which are small learning communities that combine academics, technical education and work- based learning centered on an industry, such as engineering or the arts.
This month, two programs at Millikan High School and one at California Academy of Mathematics and Science earned special certification from Linked Learning Alliance, a statewide coalition of educators, policymakers and leaders.
More than 250 people from throughout the state toured Millikan High on Oct. 12 for a glimpse at two of the school's academies, commonly known as COMPASS and PEACE.
"Long Beach is a beacon of what can be accomplished," Christopher Cabaldon, executive director of the Linked Learning Alliance, said during the tour. "Schools here have been recognized internationally not just for their excellence, but for keeping at it and continuing to improve."
Last year, the ACE Academy at Jordan High became the first of two programs statewide to earn the certification.

Quarters is a strategy game for two players. Although its rules are relatively simple, it still offers some of the same opportunities for skill as in chess. This program was originally conceived in the summer of 1986 during a study of the mini-max algorithm for chess playing computers, and was thus designed to offer some of the same type of strategies. The game was originally written in BASIC, then ported to Turbo Pascal, then to C, and finally to Java. The Java version is not necessarily object oriented, since it is a crude port from the C version.
The TIGL Geometry Library can be used for easy processing of geometric data stored inside CPACS data sets. TIGL offers query functions for the geometry structure. These functions can be used, for example, to detect how many segments are attached to a certain segment, which indices these segments have, or how many wings and fuselages the current airplane configuration contains. This functionality is necessary because TIGL targets not only the modeling of simple wings or fuselages but also the description of quite complicated structures with branches or flaps. The library uses the OpenCASCADE software to represent the airplane geometry by B-spline surfaces in order to compute surface points and also to export the geometry in the IGES/VTK format. The library provides external interfaces for C, C++, Python, Java, and FORTRAN.

From BBC:
Wrestling has been dropped from the 2020 Games to make way for a new sport.
The International Olympic Committee's executive board made its decision after assessing the performance of all 26 sports at the London Games.
"The news from the IOC is extremely disappointing," said British Wrestling chief executive Colin Nicholson.
There is a slim chance wrestling may win a reprieve when the IOC meets in Buenos Aires in September to ratify its choice.
But it will be vying with seven other sports, among them squash, roller sports and sport climbing, that are hoping for inclusion in the Olympic programme.
Modern pentathlon and taekwondo were thought to be the sports most at risk when the IOC committee met in Lausanne, Switzerland on Tuesday, but wrestling was the surprise choice for the axe.
It will now compete with baseball/softball, squash, karate, sport climbing, wakeboarding, wushu and roller sports for a place in the 2020 Games.
"This is not the end of the process, this is purely a recommendation," said IOC spokesman Mark Adams. "This is not about what's wrong with wrestling but what is good for the Games."
It is extremely unlikely that wrestling will be voted back in so soon after being removed by the executive board, but Adams stressed: "Today's decision is not final."
Wrestling, which combines freestyle and Greco-Roman events, was included in the inaugural modern Olympics in Athens in 1896.
It has been in every Games since then, apart from Paris in 1900. At last year's Olympics, it featured 344 athletes competing in 11 medal events.
Despite Tuesday's news, Nicholson said Great Britain would not lose focus in the next Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
"We will be looking to deliver success in 2016," he said. "We have two athletes who we believe are genuine medal contenders."
Nicholson also pointed out that wrestling remains part of the Commonwealth Games.
"We are fortunate that we are a Commonwealth sport so our athletes will continue aspiring towards 2014 and 2018," he said.
"In the meantime, we will remain hopeful that the IOC may give wrestling another chance to remain part of the Games."
Before making its decision, the IOC's programme commission assessed each sport by looking at such factors as TV ratings, ticket sales, anti-doping and global popularity.
Klaus Schormann, president of modern pentathlon's governing body, said he had lobbied hard to protect his sport's Olympic status.
"We have promised things and we have delivered," he said. "That gives me a great feeling. It also gives me new energy to develop our sport further and never give up."
GB Modern Pentathlon chief executive, Jon Archer, expressed relief at the news that his sport had been spared.
"Olympic inclusion is absolutely essential to our sport," he said. "It is at the centre of everything we do. We can relax now and work to continually modernise the sport and raise awareness."
Samatha Murray, who won silver for GB in the Modern Pentathlon at London 2012, said on Twitter: "This is a very sad day for wrestling. However I want to thank the IOC's decision to keep #ModPen in the OG for 2020. I'm elated. Thank you."
Golf and rugby sevens will be part of the programme for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro after winning inclusion in 2010.
The IOC will also decide in September whether Istanbul, Madrid or Tokyo will host the 2020 Games.

Big 12 Conference
|When referring to the Big 12 Conference, please remember the conference name (which is a registered trademark) should be listed as follows:
Big 12
The following should NOT be used in text when referencing the Big 12:
The Big 12 begins its 21st year in 2016-17 as it continues to promote the strength and success of one of the nation's premier athletic conferences under the direction of fifth-year commissioner Bob Bowlsby.
TCU and West Virginia joined the league on July 1, 2012 and became the Big 12's first additions since inception, joining Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech.
With 10 members, the Big 12 remains as the only autonomy conference to determine its champions in all sports directly on the field of play with a full round-robin schedule. The Conference's hard work ethic and strong values have translated to enormous success in its first 20 years. Since it began competition in 1996-97, the league can boast of 57 NCAA team titles and 625 (through June 15) individual national championships.
The Big 12 has been at the forefront in college athletics reform, specifically with student-athlete welfare issues to include cost of attendance, student-athlete time demands and strengthening its policy for concussion diagnosis and management. In 2014-15, the Big 12 introduced and hosted three "State of Collegiate Athletics" forums to examine the issues facing college athletics. Two were conducted in Washington, D.C and one in New York City. Panelists included respected authorities from intercollegiate athletics, university leadership and sports journalism. The third forum featured a special session comprised of student-athletes. The Big 12 continued the "State of Collegiate Athletics" forums in 2015-16 with Dallas serving as the site for a November 2015 event.
The Conference had a banner year on the national stage in 2015-16. Two teams competed in 2015 College Football Playoff New Year's Bowls for the second consecutive season. Oklahoma made the Conference's first appearance in the CFP semifinals in 2015, the second year of the structure, while OU men's basketball advanced to the Final Four. Other highlights included national championships by Texas men's swimming and diving and Oklahoma women's gymnastics and softball. National runner-up finishes were recorded by Texas volleyball, Oklahoma State wrestling, TCU equestrian, Texas men's golf, Oklahoma men's tennis and Oklahoma State women's tennis. Three Big 12 squads were among the eight teams that advanced to baseball's College World Series.
The Big 12 lays claim to five Heisman Trophy winners since 1996 and has had a finalist in 12 of its seasons. Twenty-five major individual awards have been won by Big 12 student-athletes in football over the past seven campaigns. Overall, more than 4,800 student-athletes have earned All-America recognition. West Virginia soccer standout Kadeisha Buchanan earned the Hyundai Young Player Award at the 2015 World Cup while playing for her native Canada, given to the player born in 1995 or later that made the biggest impression in the competition.
Through its first 20 years, the Big 12 has claimed a team national championship in 17 of the sports it sponsors. The Conference finished the BCS era ranked tied for second with seven appearances in the National Championship Game. The league has finished in the top two of women's basketball conference RPI in nine of the last 10 years and sent at least 70 percent of its teams to postseason for the seventh-straight season. In men's basketball, the league has had seven teams earn NCAA bids four times in the past seven years. Every coach has guided a team to the NCAA Tournament - including five that have led teams to the Final Four - while seven boast career win percentages of .700 or higher. During the last 12 years a total of 36 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the Conference, including 19 consecutive seasons.
The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community, the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship.
National academic accolades have always been strong in the Big 12. Ty Darlington (Oklahoma) was the recipient of the 2015 William V. Campbell Trophy, known as the Academic Heisman. Gabe Ikard (Oklahoma) was presented the NCAA Today's Top 10 Award in January 2015. It recognizes former student-athletes for their successes on the fields and courts, in the classroom and in the community. Since 1996, the Big 12 has a total of 11 honorees for this prestigious award. In the last five seasons, nine student-athletes were recipients of the NCAA Elite 90 Award with volleyball's Janae Hall (Kansas), men's basketball's C.J. Cole (Oklahoma), women's golf's Laura Lonardi (Baylor) and baseball's Tyler Floyd (Texas Tech) picking up the latest honors in 2015-16. The accolade showcases individuals who have reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level, while also achieving the highest academic standard among their peers.
In its short history, the Big 12 has over 600 Academic All-America recipients, averaging about 30 each season. Big 12 student-athletes have shown commitment to their studies by earning numerous individual academic recognitions. Twelve times in the past 12 years a league athlete has garnered the top academic honor for their respective sport, including Christina Hillman (Iowa State) in track & field/cross country in 2016.
The Big 12 can take pride in other stories that combine on and off the field success. In the fall of 2013, former Texas Tech track and field student-athlete Ifeatu Okafor was named the Big 12's first NCAA Woman of the Year. Patience Knight (Texas Tech) was the recipient of the Honda Inspiration Award in 2008 while Imani McGee-Stafford (Texas) was honored in 2015. It is given to an outstanding female college athlete who overcomes adversity to excel in her sport. Oklahoma State women's basketball was the inaugural recipient of the "Together We R" Team Award in 2012, recognizing programs that have strived to succeed in the face of adversity. Following a devastating tornado south of Oklahoma City just before the Big 12 Baseball Championship in 2013, several league baseball teams along with other student-athletes, coaches and former Conference players contributed help in a variety of ways. Plus, the Conference contributed $200,000 to the relief efforts. In the fall of 2014, Oklahoma football student-athlete Sterling Shepard and head coach Bob Stoops were honored with the Disney Sports Spirit Award while Kansas football student-athlete JaCorey Shepherd received the Lee Roy Selmon Community Spirit Award. Ty Darlington (Oklahoma) earned the 2015 Wuerffel Trophy which recognizes community service along with athletic and academic success.
Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards.
Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships. A total of 381 scholars have received over $2.7 million in postgraduate financial aid through the first 20 years of the program.
The Big 12 sponsors 23 sports. Men's squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and wrestling. Women's teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, equestrian, golf, gymnastics, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis and volleyball.
Big 12 institutions create a league that encompasses five states and nearly 38 million people. Nearly 5,000 student-athletes from across the United States and around the World compete annually in the sports sponsored by the Conference.
The Conference conducts postseason championships for 20 of its 23 sports. Each championship helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the Conference in national postseason competition.
In its first 20 years, the Big 12 has distributed approximately $2.6 billion to its member institutions, including a record $30.4 million per institution in 2015-16, an increase of 20 percent over the previous year. The Conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas.

27th Annual SNC Choir Holiday Concerts
Are you ready to be lifted into the holiday season in an inspiring way? Plan to attend the Sierra Nevada College Concert Choir winter concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29 and Saturday, Dec. 1.
Vivaldi's "Gloria" is one of the most widely performed and recorded Italian Baroque pieces. Many sections of the Gloria are generally recognized. There is great energy in many of the choral pieces. The "Et in terra pax" (and peace on earth) is one of the most divinely beautiful pieces in the choral literature. A duet (Laudamus te) and three inventive solos fill out the Gloria. Soloists for this impressive work include Joy Strotz, Dave Pierce, Kevin Beiswenger, and Lorelei Van Peborgh.
"Misa Criolla" is an all together different experience. It is full of compelling dancing rhythms and vocal lines. The piece was written by Ariel Ramirez, Argentine composer and folk music scholar. It somehow manages to be sacred and raucous at the same time. Percussionists and guitarists from the SNC music department will add zest. Our favorite tenor, Kevin Beiswenger, will be doing the solo work for this piece, joined by Dave Pierce, of Squaw Valley fame. This is a rousing, festive, celebratory piece.
Other soloists who will be performing during the evening will include SNC junior, Bryce Bullins (Ave Maria); Bob McIver (Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas) Karen Colbert, Caroline Kaplan, Vikki Gallien, Claire Roberts, Josii Johnson, and Frances Hamilton and Natalie Dyjak (singing the breathtaking Pie Jesu by Andrew Lloyd Weber) Piano accompaniment will be provided by Katie Lauder and director Donna Axton.
The evening will end with our traditional "O Holy Night."
The SNC choir brings high quality musical productions to this community. The membership is drawn from Tahoe's north shore, Truckee, and Sierra Nevada College. Donna Axton is the musical director and conductor. Listening to the choir is a joy.

Most people don't fully understand the complexities and scope of a software performance test. Too often, performance testing is assessed in the same manner as functional testing and, as a result, fails miserably. In this four-part series we will examine what it takes to properly plan, analyze, design, and implement a basic performance test. This is not a discussion of advanced performance techniques or analytical methods; these are the basic problems that must be addressed in software performance testing.
This is the third part of a four-part series addressing software performance testing. Parts one and two can be accessed below.
The general outline of topics is as follows:
- Part 1
- - The role of the tester in the process
- - Understanding performance and business goals
- - How software performance testing fits into the development process
- Part 2
- - The system architecture and infrastructure
- - Selecting the types of tests to run
- Part 3
- - Understanding load (operational profiles OP)
- - Quantifying and defining measurements
- Part 4
- - Understanding tools
- - Executing the tests and reporting results
Understanding Load
Performance testing refers to the behavior of the system under some form of load. We need to examine exactly what we mean when we use the term "load." In the simplest view, load can be expressed as a formula: Load = Volume/Time. The problem is, what does the volume comprise and over what time period? This is a simple concept known as an "operational profile." (OP).
Load is always relative to a specified time interval. The volume and mix of activities can change dramatically depending on time. To understand load more effectively we need to define what time interval is important to properly assess load (volume).
First, we need to determine the time period we are interested in, sample it, and analyze the content of those samples. People, devices, etc., tend to work in patterns of activities. Those patterns have a fixed or limited duration. Each sequence of events forms an activity pattern that typically completes some piece of work.
To analyze behavior, we typically look at short time periods, one day, one hour, fifteen minutes, etc. I have found that most people work in an environment that is in constant flux-chaos, if you prefer. Embedded application testers have a slight advantage here, devices (mechanical or electronic) are not as easily distracted or interrupted as humans.
The selection of the time period is dependent to some degree on the type of application being tested. I use an hour as a base and then make adjustments as needed. If a typical session for a user or event in our sample is fifteen minutes, then each one-hour sample now contains four session samples. We would use this information to create the necessary behavior patterns using our load generation tool. This would have to be adjusted to a general activity number (per user, per hour) for a mainframe or client/server application, as those devices typically connect to the application (network) and remain connected even though they may be on but inactive. This problem may also occur for certain types of communications devices such as BlackBerries, which are always on but may not be doing any activity other than polling.
Most elements we want to measure vary based on known and unknown factors. This means we cannot sample or measure something once; we must sample it several times in order to compute a meaningful set of values.
How many samples or measures do we need? Table 1 shows a rough rule of thumb for the relationship between sample size and accuracy of the sample contents. You will notice this is very similar to what you see in commercial polls (sample more than 1,000 and the margin of error is +/- 3 percent).
Sample Size
Margin of Error
Table 1
These numbers represent the number of times you have to sample something to gain the appropriate level of confidence in the data (margin of error). If you sample the specified time period thirty times

Bieber House Raid: Lil Za arrested for drugs
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Justin Bieber's BFF Lil Za has just been arrested for drug possession at the singer's home -- during an early morning raid stemming from the Bieber egg attack on his neighbor, TMZ reports.
