text: Dang, I think they look pretty badass. If yall haven't noticed there is a trend in color work these days on surfboards and I think these guys are a being a little bit bandwagonesque. Seems some board builders are into the sloppy "throw some color at it" look these days and I kind of like it. Is it the hipster influence, don't look like you care to much or you won't be cool? Those lost... free lap resin color jobs look real cool. The Panda shortboard things have some of that going on too with some sanded through colored hotcoats. Seen Rusty's painted foam slop colors here and there in strange hues like burgs and baby crap greens to mimic the resin color jobs with not a single piece of masking tape being used. And if they are that multi layer glass vacumed down to a rocker template style like the Coil pieces then they are a good product, long lasting and springy- but maybe to bouncy and a little chattery like the Surftechs ride IMHO. And that matte look turns shiny after the first wax and surf leaving them pretty smooth because no doubt it is a fairly fine grit sand job. Rock on Cannibal dudes.

Charleston most dangerous county for collisions
From the Associated Press:
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — For the third straight year, Charleston County is the most dangerous in South Carolina for vehicle crashes.
AAA Carolinas announced on Tuesday that Greenville, Richland and Horry counties were right behind.
The auto club reported that during 2012, there were more than 12,000 collisions in Charleston County, or about 342 for every 100 million vehicle miles traveled. That's 55 percent higher than the state average.
Williamsburg County was the deadliest county based on vehicle miles traveled followed by Oconee, Allendale, Saluda and Laurens counties.
Those rural counties together had 65 fatal crashes. That's about 8 percent of the South Carolina total even though those counties only had about 4.5 percent of total vehicle miles traveled.
The motor club said that nationally, rural roads account for about two-thirds of fatal accidents.

text: Hi all, Have a little annoyance here which is driving me up the wall. I have two mini maui cluster with torque running. The well behaved one is on CentOS 4.1 with opteron architecture. The less than ideal one is on FC2 with P-III hardware. The one on the opterons is running terrific. The one on the P-III's gives me maui.log errors like this (rc: 15041 errmsg: 'Execution server rejected request MSG=send failed, STARTING' hostlist: 'node15') and doesn't run jobs very often putting them in defered state yada yada. It isn't pretty. In fact it's quite horrifically ugly. After some googling, I came across an old reference indicating a similar problem being caused by a gcc compiler optimizer bug gen'ing up bad code. Ok, so I tried recompiling maui with -O0 although the man page says this is the default. No joy, same bad behavior. Do I need to recompile torque as well? Does -O0 work? What the f*&k is going on? Excuse me, I've been fiting this one for a while now. Help GREATLY appreciated. I need to replace the C scheduler with something. I'd like to use maui. But I'd like to be able to get it to work right twice before I commit the whole cluster to it. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Johnson |Internet: johnson at nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Systems Administrator |Web: http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~johnson NMR Center |Voice: 617.726.0949 Mass.

Fanboy: It's a derogatory term that platform fanatics love to toss at those who prefer other platforms. Use a Mac ior iPad? You're an Apple fanboy. Use a Droid or Galaxy? You're a Google fanboy (or "phandroid"). Use Ubuntu? You're a Linux fanboy. Use Windows? You're a rational person.
At least, that's the common view in IT -- not the universal view, but a pervasive one. These IT folks say their aversion to non-Microsoft technology is based on rational factors, such as security considerations, standardization benefits, and the vast set of tools they have for Microsoft technologies. "Corporations that already use Windows and other Microsoft software are going to find staying with Windows when integrating mobile devices easier and more seamless than trying to change to something else," says one such IT pro.
[ The war between IT and users: Why users are winning. | Banish the fear: How Intel has adopted BYOD. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Consumerization of IT newsletter today. | Get expert advice about planning and implementing your BYOD strategy with InfoWorld's in-depth "Mobile and BYOD Deep Dive" PDF special report. ]
That's BS, of course, even if those are legitimate considerations. Companies routinely use Linux servers and VMware virtualization, for example, and nearly all (used to) deploy BlackBerry smartphones -- none is from Microsoft, and in fact all compete with Microsoft's own offerings. It's circular logic to argue that sticking with Microsoft is easier; that same thinking would have justified not using PCs, Ethernet, or the Internet. In fact, similar arguments were made against them. That rationalization is a sure path to obsolescence -- both technological and business.
Then there's the fact that Windows RT does not use Micrososoft's standard management technology. Instead, it requires Microsoft's separate, small-business-oriented Intune management tool or else is limited to basic Exchange ActiveSync policies -- making it less manageable and less securable than iOS or Android. Many in IT have complained that the iPhone's and iPad's iOS aren't truly enterprise-class because they don't use standard (that is, Microsoft) tools. However, that objection is mysteriously ignored for the RT platform by a large percentage of IT pros, as that survey reveals.
That's not to say Windows RT or 8 or Phone 8 don't have positive attributes. The ability to have multiple accounts in Windows 8 and RT could be a significant advantage compared to an iPad or Android tablet in many work environments, for example.
My point is that IT folks are just as emotional about products -- often moreso -- than regular users, though many won't admit to that truth. Consider a recent survey on IT's plans for mobile adoption: 46 percent said they would deploy Microsoft's unproven mobile technologies (Windows 8, Windows RT, and Windows Phone 8). Of those technologies, only Windows 8 had been available for hands-on assessment when the survey occurred, and it's widely loathed as confusing. (IT likes to fret over supporting iOS and Android; well, wait until it has Windows 8 in the mix.) And early reviews this week of the Windows RT-based Microsoft Surface panned its OS and apps as inadequate.
Windows Phone 8 doesn't yet exist -- the SDK is not even final, despite next week's expected release of the first Windows Phone 8 devices -- and Microsoft has kept this project highly secret. That's not the Microsoft way: Usually, we get a year of releases and a mind-numbing stream of blog posts. The secrecy on Windows Phone 8 suggests something is very wrong. IT may complain about Apple's hardware surprises, but Apple at least makes its mobile OS available for hands-on testing several months before its public debut.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Athletic Department is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Bayne as the new men's and women's golf coach for the Tornados. Coach Bayne is relinquishing his day-to-day duties as the Recruiting Coordinator and Director of Football Operations for the Brevard College football team, where he has served since 2006.
Bayne is taking over for Coach David Nelson, who is moving to Burlington, N.C. after five years at Brevard College as the men's golf coach, to pursue another passion of his in starting a company focused on the recruitment and placement of international student-athletes at universities in the United States.
"As a child, the first place I ever played golf was at Straus Park, using wooden clubs," commented Bayne, "this is a dream come true to me personally and I appreciate Brevard College's belief in me and look forward to working with our wonderful young athletes."
Coach Bayne is taking over a golf program which finished its first season as official members of NCAA Division II and the South Atlantic Conference, and recently hosted the 2009 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Golf Tournament at nearly Etowah Valley Country Club & Golf Resort on April 20-21.
On the men's side, Bayne will be relying on rising senior Thomas Bush, as well as rising sophomores Bret McGaughey, Joshua Davis and Thomas Rennie, to provide stability to his top five, as the Tornados look to improve on a fifth place finish in the SAC tournament.
McGaughey, Davis and Bush all spent time in the top five for Coach Nelson, with Davis finishing in a tie for 21st in the SAC tournament and McGaughey and Bush finishing in a tie for 24th. Rennie was the recipient of the Men's Golf Most Improved Award, given at the Brevard College Athletic Awards Ceremony on May 3rd. The trio of McGaughey, Davis and Rennie was ranked as the #6 freshman class in all Division II.
Zack Christy, Andrew Hall and Mike Jones are also returning to the program and will be expected to challenge to get into the top five.
On the women's side, rising junior Erika Kellems and rising sophomores Alisiya Klochkova and Lucy McNulty return to provide veteran leadership to the women's program, which will be coming into their second year as a program at Brevard College.
Klochkova won the first event of her career, taking medalist honors at the Glen Cannon Fall Invitational held on September 14-15, 2008. McNulty led the team in the SAC tournament finishing in a tie for 22nd, and Kellems was one of the most consistent Tornados golfers throughout the season while playing in the top three for Coach Nelson.
"I am delighted with the new appointment of Coach Michael Bayne as our Head Men's & Women's Golf Coach. Coach Bayne has been a dedicated member of the Tornado staff committed to the overall success of our athletics program," said Kim Pate, BC Athletic Director. "Based on his proven success coaching a multitude of sports, I am excited about his potential to develop our men's & women's golf program into a top conference and regional contender."
Coach Bayne has served in various positions in his career, finishing his 29th season coaching football this past season with the Tornados. Bayne has also served nine years as a head football coach, and has seen his teams establish six state records in South Carolina. He also served as a golf coach for four years, and as the head boy's basketball coach at Garrett Tech, his team set a Guinness World Record for three-point baskets, making 32 in a single game.
In 2005, Bayne was inducted to the WCSC Channel 5 Hall of Fame in Charleston, South Carolina. In 2000, he was named as the Educator of the Year by Mayor Joe Riley's Enterprise Community in Charleston.
Over his coaching career, Bayne has been named Coach of the Year twenty times in various sports, with his teams having won over 500 games.
Bayne lived in Brevard as a child and is a graduate of the University of South Carolina. He and his wife Peggy have a sixteen-year old daughter named Nicki.

It's pretty childish of amazon. It's like Samsung bashing apple too. I thought to myself does google bash Samsung or Microsoft bash amazon I can't find a single thing so correct me I'm wrong. Seems a little jealous or the fact that apple stands out in a crowd so there easy to pick on. I think it's childish
[QUOTE=gehjl;6705047]All of a sudden screen pixels don't matter? Cmon, like this board wasn't filled with how good retina screens are over the competitors, look at our PPI, and retina this, retina that.
I also remember the fandroids on here knocking the iPhone 4S not having LTE and here we are a year later with more LTE service and androids flag ship phone is lacking in the same department.
I was worried about this from the competition. We all know the iPad Mini is using iPad 2 specs. It is what it is. Im wondering if in six months they will refresh it up to iPad 3 specs with retina and more RAM. Im happy at least the screen size is superior..oh and lets not forget it has iOS to clearly make it the champ just saying :]
The way I see it is if apple just went ahead and thrown in all there latest technology then there would never be a refresh. You wouldn't get updates like we do now. It's a billion dollar company there not stupid. Anyone else think they did this so the next refresh of iPad minis will have iPad 4 specs and a retina?
And Italia, the form on my Nexus 7 is actually fantastic. If it was wider, it wouldn't fit in my jean pockets which means I can carry it around much easier. And for apps, I can't think of a single app that I'm missing, but let's go ahead and compare my Tegra optimized games against your fantastic iPad mini HD games.
The main reason I'm sure they did the bigger screen and LTE is for a new category for competing with bigger and faster devices. Same reason they released a mini so it can compete with the 7" tablets
Two words.. APP STORE.
I want to start off by saying that I am an iPhone owner, and I love it much more than any Android OS or Windows OS phone I have ever tried. I started with the iPhone 3G, moved onto the iPhone 4, and I recently upgraded to the iPhone 5. The main reason I choose the iPhone is because the App Store, the incredible responsiveness of the touchscreen, and the multitude of customizations I can make when I jailbreak.
Stating that, I have to say, all these Apple fan boys and fan girls need to stop being hypocrites. First off, I want to address the screen size: Android OS phones have always touted that their screens are larger than iPhones. The iPhone community has always defended that the screen is perfect for the single hand use. Secondly, the screen resolution: Apple has become the company that incorporates their "retina display" into all their devices, from mobile devices, to notebooks, to desktop devices. Now that all the Android OS devices have HD resolution, Apple decides to incorporate previous generation displays onto their "larger screen" iPad Mini. Now the fans are defending that? That is ridiculous.
Wake up and smell the coffee, the iPad Mini has been a major disappointment. Want some proof? The stock market has not treated Apple well all throughout the iPad Mini launch, showing the trust investors have in Apple's "Mini" event.
If you are left with one thing after reading this post, let it be this: Stop being an ignorant fan that will stick with a product despite its obvious inferiority, and show the public that you are an intelligent individual.
When Tim Cook say "We don't think they're good products", how else would other tablet makers take it? If you think iPad Mini is good and other's tablet is not a good product it suggests they are inferior. Apple should know people will fire back even if you fire blanks at people.
apple knows exactly what they're doing. they released a half-assed tablet knowing two things.
1. masses will buy it just because its an apple product
2. they'll release the iPad mini 2 next year and it will have all the things apple withheld this year.
apple wont have anything new and exciting to offer next year so you all will get more of the same. same ol boring OS with a few more Android features, same hardware with minor bump in specs and y'all gonna run out and buy it because its the latest gadget from apple.
at the same time, Google, Samsung and the rest will push out new and exciting never seen before products and features, apple will criticize them for it., patent it, sue then release their version of it 1-2 years later.
why y'all didnt include the quote from Gizmodo about the iPad mini?
I really hate to point something out to Amazon.
163 PPI (Pixels per inch) is considered HD. lol For example a typical 46inch HD TV has only 48 PPI. Although it isn't Retina.
...and I can get Netflix or BBC iPlayer or Sky Go etc etc.
So this alone kills Amazon's argument, that along side the restricted version of Android, I'd never touch a kindle.
2. Who gives a crap about international content
3. How many languages do you read in?
4. Movies are easily copied to an android device without a convaluted piece of software telling me what files i can and cannot use on a device "I" bought.
5. Not compatible with ibooks or itunes, I would consider that a bonus feature
6. Hardware not available in as many countries - this does not say what the device is capable of and yet somehow the original kindle fire put a big dent in ipad sales, what does that say.
7. Handful? someone forgot how to count, its Android - you root it and you have access to hundreds of thousands, even on its own there are several thousand apps.
8. A matter of opinion, which appears to be a very uneducated one.
Yes, there is a device that will always get the newest updates, the Galaxy Nexus. That's the only phone supported by Google, the rest are left to the manufacturers. Also good job on picking the largest possible phone and case when comparing sizes? 5.3", that seems about the average screen size of an Android phone. I can only imagine the phones that are larger than that average. It's not like the iPhone with an otterbox case doesn't look like a brick.... The galaxy note found a pretty successful niche in the community, you either love it or hate it, and I do plan on possibly picking up the note 2, but back to the size point every single person with an iPhone 4/5 that I know has said my phone is not that big. Just wait till Apple expands the screen horizontally, then the boards can finally admit just how awesome it is.
Actually NFC would be even more useful to me, if AT&T would allow it. I have vending machines on my floor at work that accept NFC, CVS, Chik-fil-a, gas stations, McDonalds, and I know I've seen them at other places. All I would have to do is take out my phone, tab the NFC part and pay with Google Wallet, but AT&T has decided to create their own payment service using NFC: Isis. Once they finish testing in Texas, it should be here by the end of the year. Regardless, NFC has been getting used on Verizon and Sprint with Google Wallet.
To get back to my original point about the iPad mini: How can Apple release a tablet with specs a year and a half old and charge an arm and a leg for it, then say the other 7" tablets suck? But the icing on the cake is how you all are defending it, saying we don't need more than this. I wonder just how many of those people own the new iPad and an iPhone 5.
You want Apple products, fine it's your choice. I bought my mom an iPhone because it'll be easier for her to use. I like to tinker, so I have an Android, it's really what fits your needs most. But please stop defending this under spec'ed tablet. The entire world knows that if Samsung, instead Apple, would release this exact tablet, at the same exact price, at the same time, the entire world would laugh at it. You all said it yourself, the reason Apple can get away with this is because of the App Store. Those days are long gone, there isn't any useful app in the App Store that doesn't have an equivalent in Google Play. Well done defending the shafting Apple is rolling out to consumers.

Adam Scott's British Open prospects have taken a hit during a blustery second round at Royal Liverpool.
The Australian world No.1 started on Friday two shots adrift of Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy, who opened with a six-under-par 66 on Thursday.
But Scott steadily dropped back through the field as many of the morning starters on day two struggled with increasingly tricky conditions.
Late in his second round, Scott had dropped three shots to be five behind McIlroy, who was due to resume his campaign in the afternoon.
Scott started his second round solidly enough with a par on the first hole, however his broomstick putter then went cold.
He missed two short putts to make back-to-back bogeys on the second and third holes.
Scott steadied to pick up a birdie on the par-5 fifth and claw back to within three shots of the lead but, as the wind picked up, he again made back-to-back bogeys at holes 12 and 13.
Scott said after his opening-round 68 he was determined to keep world No.8 McIlroy in his sights.
"You've got to keep pace with a guy like Rory," he said.
"He has the potential to really put his foot down. I've seen him shoot lots of low rounds and there's nothing stopping him from doing that tomorrow either.
"I don't want him running away. We've seen that happen.
"He wins majors by eight."
Meanwhile, Jason Day was fighting just to extend his campaign into the weekend.
The Australian, who is still being plagued by a left thumb injury, was three-over-par with one hole to play, right on the early projected cut line.
Young Australian Bryden Macpherson completed one of the tournament's worst performances after carding a second-round 80 on Friday to be a distant last - 26-over-par for the tournament.
It came after the former British Amateur champion shot an 18-over-par 90 on Thursday - the highest single-round score at the British Open in 15 years.
"I think it's just character-building," a philosophical Macpherson said afterwards.
Marc Leishman (-3), Matt Jones (-1), John Senden (-1) and Rhein Gibson (even) were among those teeing off in the afternoon, along with the returning Tiger Woods (-3).
South African George Coetzee was the best of the morning starters, carding a two-under 69 to move into tied second, a shot behind McIlroy.

Media uncritically cast Bush's defense of spy program as "strong" and "vigorous"
Following President Bush's State of the Union address, various media figures described his defense of domestic eavesdropping as "strong," "vigorous," and "fierce." But they failed to note the numerous inaccuracies Bush employed in justifying the surveillance program, whose legality has been challenged not just by Democrats, but by Republicans and some prominent conservative legal scholars as well.
Following President Bush's January 31 State of the Union address [1], during which he defended the administration's warrantless domestic surveillance program, various media figures described Bush's defense of domestic eavesdropping as "strong," "vigorous," and "fierce." But they failed to note the numerous inaccuracies Bush employed in justifying the program, whose legality has been challenged not just by Democrats but by Republicans and some prominent conservative legal scholars [2] as well.
Bush's defense of warrantless domestic surveillance, from his State of the Union address:
BUSH: It is said that prior to the attacks of September the 11th, our government failed to connect the dots of the conspiracy. We now know that two of the hijackers in the United States placed telephone calls to Al Qaeda operatives overseas, but we did not know about their plans until it was too late. So, to prevent another attack -- based on authority given to me by the Constitution and by statute -- I have authorized a terrorist surveillance program to aggressively pursue the international communications of suspected Al Qaeda operatives and affiliates to and from America. Previous presidents have used the same constitutional authority I have, and federal courts have approved the use of that authority. Appropriate members of Congress have been kept informed. The terrorist surveillance program has helped prevent terrorist attacks. It remains essential to the security of America. If there are people inside our country who are talking with Al Qaeda, we want to know about it because we will not sit back and wait to be hit again.
As Media Matters for America has previously noted, nearly every argument Bush made in defense of the program is either false or misleading:
"We now know that two of the hijackers in the United States placed telephone calls to Al Qaeda operatives overseas, but we did not know about their plans until it was too late."
As Media Matters noted [3], it was apparently not for a lack of intelligence that Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, the two hijackers to whom Bush apparently referred, were not captured -- the government had information on the two men more than a year before the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Instead, bureaucratic entanglements and miscues by federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as described by the 9-11 Commission and congressional investigators, allowed al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar to remain free.
"So, to prevent another attack -- based on authority given to me by the Constitution and by statute -- I have authorized a terrorist surveillance program to aggressively pursue the international communications of suspected Al Qaeda operatives and affiliates to and from America."
The "statute" to which Bush apparently referred is Joint Resolution 23 -- Authorization for Use of Military Force [4] (AUMF) -- which was passed by Congress in the days following the 9-11 attacks, authorized the president to "use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001." The administration has often cited AUMF as legal justification for the surveillance program. A January 5 report by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) noted that "the Administration asserts that a part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that punishes those who conduct "electronic surveillance under color of law except as authorized by statute" does not bar the [National Security Agency] NSA surveillance at issue because the AUMF is just such a statute." However, the CRS report also concluded that the AUMF did not repeal FISA's requirement to obtain a warrant when conducting domestic electronic surveillance:
Where Congress has passed a declaration of war, 50 U.S.C. § 1811 [FISA] authorizes the Attorney General to conduct electronic surveillance without a court order for fifteen calendar days following a declaration of war by Congress. This provision does not appear to apply to the AUMF, as that does not constitute a congressional declaration of war. Indeed, even 90 if the authorization were regarded as a declaration of war, the authority to conduct warrantless electronic surveillance under 50 U.S.C. § 1811 would only extend to a maximum of 15 days following its passage.
Overall, the CRS report further noted that, according to a January 7 Washington Post article [5]'s description of the report, the Bush administration's legal justification for the NSA program "conflicts with existing law and hinges on weak legal arguments," as Media Matters noted [6]. * [7]
Moreover, members of Bush's own Justice Department were unconvinced [8] the program was constitutional. As Newsweek reported [9] in its February 6 edition, a number of former Bush administration officials objected to vast expansions of executive authority to conduct the "war on terror," such as the NSA program.
Additionally, in 2002, the Justice Department refused to support a bill [10] that would have lowered the threshold for obtaining a FISA warrant to conduct electronic surveillance of non-U.S. persons, contending that such a change might not be constitutional, as Media Matters noted [11]. Specifically, the Justice Department wrote that the bill offered by Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH) to lower FISA standards might not "pass constitutional muster," even while Bush was -- and is -- authorizing surveillance wholly independent of FISA standards.
"Previous presidents have used the same constitutional authority I have ..."
As Media Matters noted [12], conservative media figures have often pointed to the 1995 testimony of then-Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick before the House Intelligence Committee as proof that President Clinton asserted "the same authority" as Bush regarding warrantless surveillance. However, unlike electronic surveillance, the "physical searches" to which Gorelick referred were not restricted by FISA at the time of her 1994 testimony. Therefore, by asserting the authority to conduct physical searches for foreign intelligence purposes, the Clinton administration was not asserting that it did not have to comply with FISA. In October 1994, Congress passed legislation -- with Clinton's support -- to require FISA warrants for physical searches. Thereafter, the Clinton administration never argued [13] that any "inherent authority" pre-empted FISA.
Additionally, the Think Progress weblog noted [14] on December 20 that executive orders by Clinton and President Jimmy Carter regarding warrantless surveillance were merely explaining FISA's restrictions on the conduct of searches on "United States persons." Subsequent reports by NBC chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell [15] and The Washington Post [16] also debunked the claim while noting that it was highlighted in the December 21 RNC press release [17].
"... and federal courts have approved the use of that authority."
As CRS wrote, and as Media Matters previously noted, no court has ruled on the sort of conduct in which the Bush administration has engaged -- authorizing the surveillance of communications involving people in the United States without obtaining a warrant, in apparent violation of FISA. According to the CRS report:
Court cases evaluating the legality of warrantless wiretaps for foreign intelligence purposes provide some support for the assertion that the President possesses inherent authority to conduct such surveillance. The Court of Review, the only appellate court to have addressed the issue since the passage of FISA, "took for granted" that the President has inherent authority to conduct foreign intelligence electronic surveillance under his Article II powers, stating that, "assuming that was so, FISA could not encroach on that authority." However, much of the other lower courts' discussions of inherent presidential authority occurred prior to the enactment of FISA, and no court has ruled on the question of Congress's authority to regulate the collection of foreign intelligence information.
"Appropriate members of Congress have been kept informed."
As Media Matters noted [18], of the seven Democratic lawmakers known to have been briefed about the program, three have said they objected at the time, and three more claim they were inadequately apprised of the program's nature and scope. On the December 16 broadcast of ABC's Nightline, former Sen. Bob Graham (D-FL) claimed he was not informed of the program at all and maintains he was not told the warrantless eavesdropping program would be directed at U.S. citizens. A separate CRS report, released January 18, said [19] that the Bush administration's limited notification of Congress about the domestic surveillance program "appear[s] to be inconsistent with the law."
"The terrorist surveillance program has helped prevent terrorist attacks. It remains essential to the security of America."
A January 17 New York Times article [20] cited "current and former officials" in challenging the effectiveness and utility of the program. According to the Times:
In the anxious months after the Sept. 11 attacks, the National Security Agency began sending a steady stream of telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and names to the F.B.I. in search of terrorists. The stream soon became a flood, requiring hundreds of agents to check out thousands of tips a month. But virtually all of them, current and former officials say, led to dead ends or innocent Americans."
Following the warrantless domestic surveillance program's public disclosure in a December 16 Times article [21], administration officials and conservative commentators pointed to the arrest of Al Qaeda accomplice Iyman Faris as proof of the program's efficacy. Faris, a naturalized U.S. citizen and an acquaintance of the alleged mastermind of the 9-11 attacks, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, plotted to bring down the Brooklyn Bridge by cutting its suspension cables with blowtorches. However, as Media Matters noted [22], the January 17 Times article [20] indicated that information gleaned from the eavesdropping program did not play "a significant role" in Faris's capture.
Notwithstanding these numerous false or misleading assertions, CNN host Paula Zahn [23], CNN senior analyst Jeff Greenfield [24], CNN chief national correspondent John King [25], Fox News Washington bureau chief Brit Hume [26], Fox News host Chris Wallace [27], and CBS news contributor Gloria Borger [28] all uncritically praised Bush's defense of the surveillance program during their post-speech coverage.
From CNN's post-speech coverage:
ZAHN: These certainly are things we've heard him talk about before, fiercely defending NSA wiretapping, but we also have to be honest that the Democrats, according to polls, have not given the American public a unified voice or any alternatives to really consider here.
GREENFIELD: Ten days ago, the president's political guru Karl Rove told a group of Republicans, "We're going to run this campaign essentially on national security in the midterms." They won the midterms in 2002 on that issue. I think they won the presidential election last time largely on it. And the strongest part of the president's speech was defending the controversial warrantless wiretaps, where he used the same kind of approach he's used in this field before: "I'm going to protect this country, I'm not going to let it sit back and wait to get hit again. We've protected the country from future terrorist attacks," and by implication, "My critics will not be as strong on this issue."
KING: There is the domestic surveillance program -- the president emphatically defending that tonight; hearings in Congress next week on that program. They think they will win that debate but it's a dicey one.
From Fox News' post-speech coverage:
HUME: He made a very strong defense, at least in his tone, of what he calls the "terrorist surveillance program." That, of course, that electronic intercept program engaged in by the National Security Agency, which intercepts telephone calls to and from Al Qaeda operatives and those believed to be Al Qaeda operatives -- inside -- from calls picking up conversations involving people inside the United States with people outside the United States believed associated with that terrorist organization.
WALLACE: And the thing that struck me about the speech tonight is the degree to which, particularly on foreign policy, he didn't give an inch. I mean, he talked about criticism of his policy on Iraq as retreat. There's been criticism, of course, of his policy on the NSA wiretapping, and he made it clear he thought he was particular -- completely within his legal rights and very much within his duty of protecting the country to continue that program. I thought it was -- there was no give whatsoever in the president, either at lunch or in his speech tonight when it came to foreign policy.
From CBS' post-speech coverage:
BORGER: I also believe, quite frankly, that the Democrats believe they have a pretty clear agenda lined out for themselves heading into the midterm elections, and that they want to distinguish themselves from George W. Bush, rather than joining themselves with the president. And I might also add that the president was very firm in his defense of those warrantless wiretaps performed by the National Security Agency. He did not back down one bit, nor did he back down in calling for renewal of the [USA] Patriot Act in March.
Similarly, The New York Times, in a February 1 article [29] on the State of the Union address, reported Bush's remarks about the domestic surveillance program without noting any of Bush's inaccuracies, describing his defense of the program as "vigorous." According to the Times: "Mr. Bush continued his vigorous defense of his administration's secret program of eavesdropping without warrants and suggested that it could have caught some of the Sept. 11 hijackers, although he provided few details." By contrast, The Washington Post noted some of Bush's inaccuracies and misleading statements in a February 1 article [30]:
In his State of the Union address last night, President Bush waded right in the middle of the debate over his warrantless domestic eavesdropping program, making a number of assertions that have been subject to intense debate.
For instance, Bush strongly suggested that the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks could have been prevented if the phone calls of two hijackers had been monitored under the program. This echoes an assertion made earlier this year by Vice President Cheney.
But the Sept. 11 commission and congressional investigators said the government had compiled significant information on the two suspects before the attacks and that bureaucratic problems -- not a lack of information -- were the main reasons for the security breakdown. The FBI did not even know where the two suspects lived and missed numerous opportunities to track them down in the 20 months before the attacks.
Bush also asserted that "previous presidents have used the same constitutional authority I have." But the most recent example cited by the administration -- involving actions by President Bill Clinton -- is hotly disputed by Democrats who say the current and past situations are not comparable.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which required the executive branch to get approval from a secret court before conducting wiretaps within the United States, was silent on warrantless physical searches of suspected spies or terrorists. So the Clinton administration asserted that it had the authority to conduct such "black bag" jobs, including searches of CIA turncoat Aldrich Ames's house, which turned up evidence of his spying for Russia.
Clinton later sought amendments to FISA that brought physical searches, as well as wiretaps, under the FISA framework. Bush has never sought such amendments, and he did not publicly acknowledge the program until it was revealed in news reports.
In other sections of his speech, Bush omitted context or made rhetorical claims that are open to question.
National Public Radio also provided a "Fact Check" of the State of the Union address on the February 1 broadcast [31] of Morning Edition, in which it explained many of the problems with Bush's defense of the warrantless domestic surveillance program.
* This item originally attributed the phrase "conflicts with existing law and hinges on weak legal arguments" to the January 5 Congressional Research Service report. In fact, this text appears in The Washington Post's January 7 analysis of the report but not in the report itself. The relevant quote from the CRS report is as follows: "Given such uncertainty, the Administration's legal justification, as presented in the summary analysis from the Office of Legislative Affairs, does not seem to be as well-grounded as the tenor of that letter suggests." We regret the error.

RIM CEO Says BB10 Will Bring Order to "Universe in Disarray"
Jason Mick
November 15, 2012 1:29 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Chief of trouble phonemaker is confident RIM will recover, despite analyst pessimism
Pacific Crest analyst James Faucette joined the growing crowd of analysts prophesying the embattled Canadian phonemaker Research in Motion, Ltd.'s (
) demise, saying he expects the new operating system will get "a lukewarm response at best" from consumers. He points to a foreign interface and a lack of apps as key deterrents to potential adoption.
I. RIM Soldiers Forward Towards Crucial Launch
RIM CEO Thorsten Heins admits that his company is struggling, but he views BB10's chances in a far different light,
commenting to
, "I think it's all lining up. Sometimes you get the feeling that the universe is in disarray, and with BlackBerry 10 coming, I see the stars lining up."
BlackBerry 10 will launch at
a special event on January 30
, although RIM has not revealed when actual product will land in stores. The release is quite belated; RIM had hoped to launch BlackBerry in early 2012, but the launch date slipped more than once.
But Mr. Heins, who became chief of the struggling firm in Jan. 2012, is convinced that the unique features of BB10 will win over consumers and make it worth the wait. He points to UI features that he argues his larger competitors -- namely Google Inc.'s (
) Android OS and Apple, Inc.'s (
) iOS -- lack, such as swipable transitions between apps and in-frame previews of emails.
He also takes issue with his rivals calling their security "good enough", but not great. He comments, "There's this high-level security that you cannot walk away from, and then there's 'good enough' security."
II. At Least He Has a Plan
To RIM's credit; it has done a fairly good job
courting developers
(despite some odd videos). At launch it expects BB10 to have around 100,000 apps, a figure that puts it in the same ballpark as Microsoft Corp.'s (
) Windows Phone platform. Coincidentally, Mr. Heins previously set the modest goal of being "third place" in the market, a goal that would require beating back Microsoft.
Despite plunging share prices and
layoffs of 5,000 employees
, Mr. Heins insists he's keeping morale up among employees and shareholders alike. He comments, "The message to our shareholders is that we understand this is and has been a difficult time for them and for us. But with the development of the BlackBerry 10 platform we are truly convinced that we will create long-term value for RIM's shareholders and investors."

Mr. Heins did offer up some new details about the framework for the BlackBerry 10 launch and RIM's survival bid. He says RIM will trim an additional $800M USD to $1B USD from its operating expenses by the end of March.
As for the launch, he says it will be preceded by special in-depth preview workshops with his company's
top 50 enterprise customers
. And he says the launch will roll out in waves globally, commenting, "We cannot launch every carrier and every country on the same day, but what we have defined is a set of waves in the various regions. It is going to be a global launch. There isn't one preferred region. We are managing and planning it as we speak."
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

PCL outfield packed with promise
Angels' Trout, Cubs' Jackson, Jays' Gose lead league glut
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | April 1, 2012 8:30 PM ET
Three of them -- Mike Trout (Angels, 33 steals), Brett Jackson (Cubs, 21) and Anthony Gose (Blue Jays, 70) -- will begin 2012 in the Pacific Coast League, making the green grass beyond the infield in the league's hitter-happy stadiums the most exciting sight line. That is, when they're not burning down the basepaths.
Catcher: Travis d'Arnaud, Las Vegas 51s
The Blue Jays' No. 1 prospect -- and the third-ranked catching prospect in baseball -- will make his Triple-A debut this month. He posted .311/.371/.542 -- all career highs -- at Double-A New Hampshire in 2011 and is expected to hit for average and power going forward. Acquired from the Phillies in the 2009 Roy Halladay trade, d'Arnaud also brings more than his bat. He was rated as the best defensive backstop, according to a poll of Eastern League managers. Toronto's catcher of the future will also enter '12 fully healthy. In his Prospect Q&A with MiLB.com, d'Arnaud said the torn ligaments in his thumb have healed completely.
Honorable mention: Yasmani Grandal, (Tucson Padres) impressed with his bat in big league camp of Spring Training. He's one of the Minors' top six catching prospects and looking to make improvements behind home plate.
First base: Matt Adams, Memphis Redbirds
There are certainly higher-ranked first baseman (read: Rizzo, below), but few who improved their stock as much as the Cardinals' Adams in 2011. St. Louis' No. 8 prospect batted .300 with 32 home runs and 101 RBIs in 115 Texas League games last season and figures to produce similar numbers in the PCL on a team that will also include third-base prospect Matt Carpenter. Why? Adams, who is looking more and more like an able big leaguer in the wake of Albert Pujols' departure from St. Louis, makes the kind of consistent contact that evades many power hitters. (But in his Prospect Q&A with MiLB.com, Adams said he "hated to see Albert go.")
Honorable mention: Anthony Rizzo (Iowa Cubs) batted .364 (12-for-33), smacked two home runs and collected five RBIs in 14 Spring Training games, but was blocked by Bryan LaHair, the PCL's 2011 MVP.
Second base: Charlie Culberson, Fresno Grizzlies
The Giants' sixth-ranked farmhand will be worth watching this year, if only to gauge the difference between hitting in the barren Eastern League and offense-friendly PCL. Culberson, the 51st overall draftee in 2007, batted .259 and clubbed 10 homers at Richmond last season, but will be counted on to produce at a higher level for the Grizzlies. He has settled in at second after struggles in the field at shortstop and third base.
Third base: Josh Vitters, Iowa Cubs
It's been a long road for Vitters -- he has now played for every domestic affiliate in the Cubs system -- but the third overall draftee in 2007 appears headed in the right direction. Don't be surprised if his results in Iowa trump those at Double-A Tennessee: He posted .283/.322/.448 there, but should enjoy the PCL's friendly confines. Being protected in the lineup by the likes of higher-ranked Chicago prospects Rizzo and Jackson (Brett, below) will be a blessing too.
Shortstop: Adeiny Hechavarria, Las Vegas 51s
"Plus-plus" is not a term scouts throw around without thought. That's how some have described the defensive abilities of Hechavarria, however. Acquired by Toronto in April 2010, the Cuban refugee surprised in his first shot at Triple-A in 2011. In 25 games for the 51s, the right-handed hitter batted .389 (42-for-108) with 10 extra-base hits and 11 RBIs.
Mike Trout, Salt Lake Bees
Trout will be playing Triple-A ball for the first time, but the first-round draftee in 2009 has already seen action in "The Show." MLB.com's No. 3 prospect followed up his .326/.414/.544 campaign at Double-A Arkansas by struggling in parts of 40 games with the Halos in 2011. The organization is stocked with veteran outfielders and more Minor League time can't hurt Trout, who should lead off and play center for Salt Lake. Expect a .300-plus batting average, plenty of pop and 30 or more steals -- if his next and, likely, final callup doesn't come first.
Brett Jackson, Iowa Cubs
Like a handful of others on this list, Jackson deserves attention now because he may not be in the PCL later. The Cubs' first-round draftee in 2009 reached a new high in his first Triple-A trial last year, posting a .939 OPS in 48 games. His .986 mark in 15 games with the big league team this spring wasn't enough to crack the Cubs' Opening Day roster, but Jackson -- seen by many as a realistic 20-homer, 20-steal threat -- doesn't seem to need too much development. He'll patrol center field to start, but can play all three outfield positions.
Anthony Gose (Las Vegas 51s)
MLB.com's No. 2 Jays prospect matches, or more likely, exceeds the speed and defensive abilities of peers Trout and Jackson -- his throwing arm is that of a power-armed prep pitcher -- but his bat lags far behind. At Double-A New Hampshire in 2011, the twice-traded former second-round draftee collected 43 extra-base hits, but also struck out 154 times in 137 games. If there's one thing to watch in 2012, aside from his attempt at a third 70-steal season, it would be his poor contact rate. Many expect Gose's approach -- and results -- at the plate to actually improve in Las Vegas, where batters typically reign over pitchers.
Honorable mention: Francisco Peguero (Fresno Grizzlies) and Grant Green (Sacramento River Cats) both will take their first swings against Triple-A pitching. Don't be surprised if Peguero bats .300-plus again, while Green, in his first full season in the outfield after transitioning from shortstop, should approach -- or eclipse -- the 20-homer plateau.
Left-handed pitcher: Martin Perez, Round Rock Express
Looking for a candidate to rebound in the PCL? A look at the numbers for the Rangers' Perez shows he typically requires about 15 starts at each level to get comfortable. Fortunately for Round Rock, he got 10 out of the way in 2011, when he compiled a 6.43 ERA and a suspect 37-to-20 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Texas' No. 2 prospect will need to be more consistent with his changeup and sharp-breaking curveball to keep PCL sluggers off his low-to-mid-90-mph fastball.
Honorable mention: Mike Montgomery (Omaha Storm Chasers) will get a second chance for the Chasers, for whom he went 5-11 with a 5.32 ERA in 28 games last season.
Right-handed pitcher: Shelby Miller, Memphis Redbirds
If Miller is going to help Adams (first base, above) help Cards fans forget about Pujols, he's also going to leave Redbirds fans remembering his first great moments. St. Louis' first-round draftee in 2009 and back-to-back Minor League Pitcher of the Year mastered the Class A Advanced and Double-A levels in 2011. He compiled a 2.77 ERA in 25 starts and fanned 170 batters in 139 2/3 innings. Don't be surprised to see the power-armed Miller be truly challenged for the first time in his career -- friendly as the confines are, the hitters themselves can be pretty mean -- as MLB.com's No. 5 prospect becomes Memphis' ace.
Honorable mention: Jarrod Parker and Brad Peacock (Sacramento River Cats), both in their first season in the A's system, will provide a strong one-two punch for the Cats; Casey Kelly (Tucson Padres) will need to limit his walks in his first Triple-A season; meanwhile, Nathan Eovaldi (Albuquerque Isotopes) and Wily Peralta (Nashville Sounds), as talented as all others in the bunch, were simply squeezed out of their respective MLB rotations so their PCL stays could be short-lived.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Said to be the oldest commercial building in Houston, La Carafe is encrusted with history, its walls brimming with old photographs, newspaper clippings and other artifacts. The same is true of its jukebox, whose leaves preserve near-forgotten corners of 20th-century pop music like doo-wop (the Platters, the Ink Spots) and European chanteuses (Edith Piaf) all the way up until the Cowboy Junkies' 1988 album The Trinity Session. Within its leaves, Bob Seger's Beautiful Loser sits next to Ella Fitzgerald singing the Cole Porter songbook, and crooners Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett and Bobby Darin jockey for position with rowdier neighbors such as the Stooges and the Jam. Weighted with local anchors like Lightnin' Hopkins, Townes Van Zandt and Archie Bell & the Drells, it really is a jukebox for any mood, where Carole King's Tapestry or Peggy Lee's Greatest Hits might be easy-listening appetizer for a blues-funk meal of Johnny "Guitar" Watson and Albert Collins. Or just play Springsteen, Creedence and Hank Williams all night long.
Since Free Press Summer Fest's Omar Afra and Jagi Katial bought Fitzgerald's in July 2010, the old Heights dance hall's transformation has been remarkable. Already one of Houston's most historic venues (Elvis and James Brown played the building), Fitz has upgraded its sound, raised the floor in the big upstairs room and begun attracting the kind of talent that used to laugh out loud at the idea of playing Houston until the packed houses they saw staring back at them shut them up real quick. Now with shows both upstairs and down most nights of the week, Fitz is just as accommodating to Houston's local music community. It's also been an outspoken opponent of Houston's ridiculous new noise ordinance, and a cornerstone of the burgeoning bar/restaurant corridor on White Oak.
Head down to the little house at Westheimer and Taft any night of the week and you'll likely hear live music by a local band, ranging from a new ensemble that's playing for the first time to an established outfit honing its set. The venue never discriminates against genres, meaning that in a span of a few days (and sometimes even a few hours), you'll be exposed to anarchist punk, sludge metal, fragmentary singer-songwriter and high-on-the-decibels bizarro. Bring cash if you want to purchase some merch from the dark alcove, and earplugs if you want to keep your hearing.
Think of the John C. Freeman Weather Museum as the little museum that could. Sitting in the shadow of its bigger, shinier cousins, the Weather Museum is housed in what was once a private two-story home. Each room downstairs has been transformed into an exhibit area, the most popular of which might be the WRC TV Studio, which features a camera, teleprompter, lights and a green screen. Visitors can become faux meteorologists and tape themselves delivering a weather report (you have a choice of intense weather conditions to report on). There's also the Cyclone Room, with its own cyclone chamber; the Weather History exhibit, with antique meteorology equipment; a theater with a variety of videos; and the Weather Wizard Corner, with demonstrations by museum meteorologists. Given Houston's history with extreme weather, it makes sense that we have the country's first weather museum, don't you think?
Houston's favorite dark, hip and nasty rock bar, The Dirt, is now located across from the House of Blues off Caroline after spending its first few years incubating in the Heights. The bar's staff comes complete with fun rocker attitude, with extremely pretty, sorta-dressed girls and tattooed boys who will do shots with you if you're cool. The only hitch seems to be finding street parking on downtown's busier nights, leaving you with the options of walking or ponying up for paid parking.
Sure, you could belly up to a hot singles club or Upper Kirby haunt looking for love in all the wrong places, but why not roll the clock back and head into the Heights for some beer, burgers and bingo? This Thursday night institution in the neighborhood starts the weekend for many a horny and self-respecting, unattached yuppie.

Women's soccer announces first group of 2010 recruitsMarch 29, 2010
Coach 'Shug' brings in six new recruits
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Athletic Department and Coach Shigeyoshi Shinohara are pleased to announce the first group of commitments for the 2010-2011 season which includes six signees.
Jamie Bundy, a midfielder from Platte City, Mo. comes to Brevard by way of Platte County High school where she was a four year varsity starter, and three year captain. Under Coach Brantly, she was named All-District and All-Conference, while earning the Golden Boot Award for notching the most assists. Coach Shinohara says he is very excited to have a player like Jamie on his team.
"I'm excited about the type of player she is. She is a skillful player and has a technical ability which we need in the midfield. She brings an upbeat and enthusiastic attitude that I think will continue to carry our team in the right direction."
Off the field, Bundy achieved honor roll, and was a member of the Science Club, ECCLA, Fellow Christian Athletes, Recycling Committee, and was a freshman mentor.
Breanna McMahon, a defender, midfielder, and goalkeeper from Orlando, Fla. attended Freedom High School and Dr. Phillips High School. While attending Dr. Phillips, McMahon received the Varsity Coaches Award then went on to be varsity captain at Freedom High School.
McMahon was also honored with the "Courageous Player of the Year" Award 2009 from the Touchdown Club of Orlando and "Award of Excellence" from Orange County Public Schools for strength and perseverance in overcoming adversity following a tragic accident in which she lost her left leg. Coach Shinohara says he is moved by Breanna's story and honored to have a player like her on his team.
"I am very sorry about what happened to Breanna but she shows great character and perseverance through this hard time. We believe she will be a great asset to this program and we are excited to have her."
Her story of perseverance and strength made national news and has inspired many. She has persevered and worked hard through her recovery so she can get back on the soccer field at Brevard College. Off the field she is a member of the National Honors Society and became the first hospital homebound student in the history of the program's 25 years to receive AP and Honors level course instruction. To read more about Breanna's story visit: www.orlandosentinel.com
Chrissy Moran, a goalkeeper from Franklin County, Va. attended Franklin County High School. Under Coach Moe Potter, Moran was a four-year varsity letterman and was named to the 1st Team All-District in both her junior and senior years and is also a member of the National Honor Society. Coach Shinohara says Crissy is athletic and talented and will bring a high level of competitiveness to the field at Brevard.
"I'm very happy about the level of goalkeepers we have returning and coming in. Crissy is very competitive and will force the defensive line to compete at a higher level. She comes from a good soccer club and is super athletic and extremely talented."
Lindsay Pritchard, a defender from Lexington, N.C. attended North Davidson High School where she was a four year varsity starter. Pritchard holds the record for fewest goals allowed in a single season, and was the high school Defensive Player of the Year three years straight. She was All-Region in 2009, All-Conference 4A Central Piedmont Conference for three straight years. Coach Shinohara believes Lindsay will have an immediate impact on the team in the defensive line replacing the defenders lost from last year.
"I'm happy Lindsay chose Brevard even though she had offers from other schools. She offers a lot at the defender position and can help excel our team to the next level. She is an extremely committed and dedicated soccer player and we're very excited to have her."
Off the field, Pritchard is a member of Student Council and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Abigail Rusch, a defender from Franklin, N.C. attended Franklin High, where she received All-Conference honors three consecutive years, All- Region her Junior year, and was team MVP two straight years. Rusch also played basketball while making A-B Honor Roll at Franklin High. Abigail is another defender that Coach Shinohara is excited to welcome to Brevard.
"I'm absolutely thrilled she is coming to Brevard. She has huge potential to become one of the best defenders to ever play in our program. Not only is she a physical presence on the field, but she also has a great skill set, and we expect great things from her in our defensive line."
Brittany Webster, a goalkeeper from Stafford, Va. attended Brooke Pointe High School. She was named Super-Y ODP National All-Tournament Team in 2007, Virginia ODP All-District honorable mention in 2006 and 2007, and was named Goalkeeper Commonwealth District in 2009. Off the field Webster, a honor roll student, has received awards for service, accumulating over 150 hours of community service, as well as receiving recognition for Achievement in Journalism, and is the Hawkeye Newspaper Business Manager and Senior Editor. Coach Shinohara says Brittany brings even more competition to the goalkeeper position.
"Brittany has potential to be a great player at this level because of her tremendous work ethic. This will push other players to compete and help bring the team to the next level. She loves soccer and works hard both on and off the field. I'm really excited to see her work ethic and strong character on the field."
Coach Shinohara is looking to build upon the 2009 season in which the Tornados went 6-12-1 and received a bid to the South Atlantic Conference Tournament for the first time in the school's history, losing to Carson-Newman in the Quarterfinals.

LONG BEACH - After experiencing record traffic in 2010, the Port of Long Beach's containerized cargo movement was slightly down last year, according to cargo numbers released Friday.
However, the numbers from one of the largest ports in the nation don't necessarily reflect a slowdown in the economy, an economic expert says.
About 6.1 million 20-foot-equivalent containers were moved in 2011 by port shipping terminals, a 3.2 percent drop from 2010. Imports were down by 3.3percent, and exports by 3.6 percent.
In December, 509,944 containers moved through the port, a 2.6 percent drop from the same time a year ago.
Last month, imports fell 3.2 percent to 248,609 twenty-foot equivalent units and exports by 8.4 percent to 129,229 TEUs.
The dip is considered modest after months of double- digit declines. Overall trade dropped 17.6 percent at the port during November when compared with the same month in 2010. Imports dipped 15.6 percent, with exports down 22 percent.
In all, nearly 460,000 containers moved through Long Beach during November.
The port attributes the "relatively flat" traffic to the departure of one of its major tenants.
California United Terminals, which vacated a large site on Pier E and moved to a newly renovated terminal in the Port of Los Angeles last summer, accounted for about one-tenth of container traffic in Long Beach.
"That's definitely a major loss," said Ferdinando Guerra, an associate economist for the Los Angeles Economic Development Corp.
Without California United, the six terminals remaining in Long Beach actually posted an 8.1 percent increase in 2011. Their imports jumped 10.1 percent and exports by 7.8 percent. In December, overall container traffic was up by 1.7 percent from 2010 at the remaining terminals. But while imports were up 1.8 percent in December, exports fell 4.5 percent.
Guerra said the drop in exports could also be attributed in part to the global slowdown in China and other parts of the Pacific Rim. The tsunami in Japan also affected the level of autos, auto parts and electronic goods flowing into Long Beach.
Also an impact is the rising cost of oil and the credit and trade finance issues in Europe.

can someone explain this to me please?
he dislocates it in the 5th/6th or something. i can't find an interview explaining what happened afterwards.
was it dislocated until the end of the fight? or did it get popped back in? can you even pop it back in with an elbow? I wouldn't want to assume that he's Mel Gibson in that regard.
imagine that, throwing any kind of punches, even lifting your arm, with a dislocated elbow... brutal. surely he couldn't have continued without it popping back in?

Florida Georgia Line & Luke Bryan still rule Country charts
Listen to Florida Georgia Line on iHeartRadio | Listen to Luke Bryan on iHeartRadio
Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan are holding on to the top spots on the Billboard country charts for yet another week.
Florida Georgia Line's hit "Cruise" is posting its 19th nonconsecutive week atop the Hot Country Songs list, which is the best run on that chart in more than 50 years. The last song to log 19 weeks at number one was Leroy Van Dyke's "Walk On By" in 1961 and '62. Meanwhile, "Cruise" is celebrating its 20th week leading the Country Digital Songs chart.
Luke Bryan is showing staying power on the Country Airplay chart. "Crash My Party" is spending its second consecutive week at number one, and becomes his fourth single to enjoy an extended chart-topping run.
Kip Moore, Brett Eldredge, and Taylor Swift are also making significant chart moves. Moore's "Hey Pretty Girl" has climbed up two spots from last week to crack the top ten on the Country Songs list, and is now perched at number nine. Eldredge is inching his way up the Country Airplay chart with "Don't Ya," which has finally made the top ten on that list.
And the title track to Swift's latest album, "Red," is seeing a surge this week, courtesy of the song's recently released video. "Red," which made its Country Songs chart debut at number two last October, has jumped from number 43 to 31 on the latest tally. It rose from number 34 to number 29 on the Country Airplay chart.

I am not the best at predicting when waves will come until I see with my own eyes that there are waves that is a reason I use this site. I am even worse at the number game. It seems that longer period swells are more sought after then the shorter period (wind swells).
My question is with a longer period swell...does this mean the waves travel faster to our beach? If so how are lulls incorporated into this? If not disregard the next paragraphs because I am a kook when it comes to this stuff.
Say for instance we have a 12second swell. This swell would travel faster then a 8 second swell. Would this mean that Lulls in between sets would be less frequent with a 12 second swell? Which would make the paddle out a ***** in making 8-10ft 12second beachbrake swell? This is something I always wondered because I never really pay attention to numbers once the swell starts because I am to busy surfing!!
I hope this question even makes sense sometimes it is hard typing crap out on the internet.


text: The great thing about this kit is the variety of skills you'll learn. Not only do you end up with a warm-sounding tube amp, but you also learn how all these audio components are produced, as well as proper soldering technique, orientation of polarized capacitors, spacing of large-value wirewound resistors, and heat sinking of transistors. It's relatively straightforward to build, but if you're a novice, seek out a mentor with electronics experience to offer some guidance.

The Swiss French-language daily Le Temps, published in the capital, Geneva, carried a report concerning Atlas of Creation on 16 April, 2007. The leading Swiss daily, which has 150,000 readers, described Atlas as "a sudden and powerful attack" on the theory of evolution:
"In March, large numbers of a book, Atlas of Creation, that rejects the theory of evolution on the basis of the Qur'an, found their way into Switzerland. The editor of Atlas is from Turkey, where Darwinism is suffering an increasing defeat.
… After France and Belgium, Switzerland received the latest work by Adnan Oktar, better known under the name Harun Yahya and the publishing house's sole author. The first of the seven volumes 'finally' offers Switzerland 'the opportunity of seeing the truth' with regard to the Divine origin of the world… Says Emre Çalıkoğlu, 'Criticism is the mark of our success. The press are constantly referring to us. We have found distributors in France, Switzerland and Belgium.'
The same excitement dominates the Science Research Foundation (BAV) in Okmeydani, Istanbul. Founded in 1990, the BAV is Adnan Oktar's flagship. Everyone, or nearly everyone, here speaks French… [BAV president Tarkan] Yavas, an optimist when it comes to the success of creationism, says: 'Six million of Harun Yahya's films and DVDs are downloaded over the internet every month. People will soon be wondering why they never realized the truth before.'
In Turkey, the war against Darwinism has effectively been won. A study published in Science magazine and carried out in the University of Michigan stated that Turkey was the country with the lowest level of belief in Darwinism among the 32 countries involved in the study. According to a statement by the Turkish Academy of Sciences, only 5% of students believe in evolution, while 25% believe it to be inadequate and 75% believe it to be totally unfounded.
Adnan Oktar, an active creationist who began his work in 1998, describes how Darwin has lost all esteem in Turkey…'

|Beavers #RefuseToLose At CWS
OMAHA, Neb. – Oregon State improved to 3-0 this postseason, and 15-5 all-time under Pat Casey, in elimination games in an 11-4 College World Series win over Louisville Monday afternoon at TD Ameritrade Park, giving the Beavers a school-record 51st win of the season.
Oregon State players started the hashtag #RefuseToLose during regional competition, and they used that mantra in back-to-back wins over Kansas State to advance to Omaha and again on Monday against the Cardinals to remain alive at the College World Series.
The Beavers will play the loser of Mississippi State-Indiana at 7 p.m. CT (5 p.m. PT) on Wednesday in another elimination game that will be televised on ESPN2.
Lefty Ben Wetzler allowed three runs over 6 1/3 innings and moved to 10-1 to join Andrew Moore (14-1) and Matt Boyd (10-4) with double-digits victories, the first time Oregon State has had three 10-game winners in a season since 2007.
Scott Schultz pitched the final 2 2/3 innings, giving up four hits and a run, to close out the game.
Michael Conforto continued his torrid pace at the plate in Omaha by going 2-for-4 with an RBI double in the seventh inning and has now reached base in eight of his 10 plate appearances at the College World Series.
Andy Peterson went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, and Tyler Smith and Max Gordon each collected two hits with Gordon contributing two RBIs and two runs.
Gordon was hit by a pitch to open the third inning and scored from first when Smith doubled down the left field line. Peterson reached on a bunt single and Conforto drew a walk to load the bases before Louisville second baseman Zach Lucas threw the ball away trying to start a double play, which allowed two runs to score and give the Beavers a 3-0 lead.
Oregon State (51-12) loaded the bases again in the fourth inning and scored two runs when Dylan Davis beat out a squibber down the third base line that plated Gordon and Peterson. After Danny Hayes walked, the Beavers added two runs when shortstop Sutton Whiting threw the ball over first baseman Zak Wasserman's head.
Ryan Barnes was hit by a pitch, Jake Rodriguez walked to score a run and Gordon knocked in a pair with a single through the left side that gave Oregon State a comfortable 10-0 lead. It was the 18th time the Beavers have batted around in an inning this season.
The seven runs in the inning are the most by a team since the College World Series moved to TD Ameritrade Park from Rosenblatt Stadium in 2011.
Louisville (51-14) got on the board in the fifth inning on an RBI single by Lucas, but Wetzler induced a double play to end the rally. He gave up three singles in the sixth but got out of the inning without a run being scored with by the help of a double play and flyout.
The Cardinals added three runs in the seventh inning on a hit by pitch and walk that chased Wetzler before Scott Schultz allowed a two-run double to Adam Engel and an RBI single by Ty Young.

Saturday Vids: Miley Cyrus on The Conversation
I'm not going to pretend like I haven't been critical of Miley Cyrus / the Disney machine in the past. But I was recently watching an interview with Miley Cyrus on an episode of The Conversation, and I have to say: I was incredibly impressed. It seems like Miley has grown into a really independent, interesting young woman who is trying really hard to figure out who she is despite controlling pressures, specifically controlling pressures on her sexuality. I definitely recommend checking it out here or here (it's the first 10 minutes…but then an interview with Melissa McCarthy follows and that's pretty great, too).

Our therapeutic work is based in the idea that quality of life is largely dependent upon the ability to be meaningfully connected to others. Sometimes though, we lack a sense of belonging and can be profoundly uncertain of our own potential, or where we stand in our relationships with others. Therapy is a life-changing, collaborative endeavor between therapist and client(s) focused on helping the client to better understand maladaptive patterns and, most importantly, to better comprehend what meanings reside in the evolving process of their life experiences. Through developing such awareness, clients are then able to live more consciously in terms of their behavior and relationship choices.

Licensed Pastoral Psychotherapist
133 Grove Street, Peterborough, New Hampshire 03458
Grief is the emotional response to loss. The loss can be a spouse, family member, or close friend, or it can be a lost job or a missed opportunity. Grief is a natural emotional response that has various predictable stages. While it is painful and upsetting it is the psyche's way of moving through it and can result in personal growth and even transformation. My approach is to work with you in a confidential setting by talking about it and exploring together the meaning of the grief reaction and the various specific facets of your loss. I will help you get in touch with your own God given inner resources to cope with the loss and to move forward, and to adjust and adapt.

The most important thing is choosing a therapist to help you family is to ask the question,"Do they feel passionate about what they do?" Several of our staff focus on family. They are passionate and excited about their work with families-from marriage restoration to blended families to parenting issues--our counselors shine! They have a heart for our mission to "restore hearts and homes" and they tirelessly work toward that end.
