Former Sailors soccer standout Comeau helps CU win title
Soccer is more than just a game for Steamboat Springs' David Comeau. It's his passion. That passion helped lead Comeau and his University of Colorado at Boulder club soccer team to Phoenix on Nov. 20 where they defeated Missouri, 3-1, to win the 2010 NCCS National Soccer Championship.

However rewarding, my (lack of) sewing experience has let me down a few times. I really love all the things I've made so far and I wear them all the time, but none of the items I've sewn turned out exactly the way I had envisioned. Minor details, of course, and the final product does look good, but upon trying them on for the first time after they were done there was always that second of disappointment or surprise, in which I looked at myself in the mirror and went: "oh… ok."
But this little black dress was different. I needed a simple, comfortable and easy-to-match dress in my wardrobe, so I decided to design one. I know it's simple, but I made the pattern myself. I put a lot of loving into sewing it and when I was done and tried it on…. PERFECTION! It was exactly what I had in mind! Exactly what I needed. I am so ridiculously happy with this one – it's silly.
I love that I can wear it up or down just by changing my accessories.
If I were to change anything, I would maybe add some pockets to it. But instead I might make a new dress in a different color, using the same pattern. We'll see. For the time being, I am perfectly content with my perfect little dress.

I know right?! There is something very fulfilling about sewing – it's really great for the ego! Keep it up and the next few zippers will be flawless!

It looks fab. When I first saw the 1st picture I thought straight away it needs a belt.. When looking at the rest of your pictures I saw that you tried different types of belt with it.. Its so versatile and I love the simplicity it, yet classic and chic and sexy.. Well done.. I love it. :o)

I'm with you, Suri – I'm all for a belt. It's funny though, but my husband prefers it without it. Who gets men? Well, at least I get to wear it both ways :)

Apple Inc. Chief Executive Tim Cook kicked off the company's annual confab for its developers on Monday,where the company is expected to unveil a new design and revamped features for its iOS mobile operating system along with a new streaming-music service.
Apple began its product showcase by announcing a new operating system for the Mac called "Mavericks," moving away from its penchant for naming its computer software after big cats. The new OS can now handle multiple display and "tagging" of documents,among other new features.
In an unusual move,the company also shared the stage with little-known startup Anki,which was given the opportunity to show off a game.
Cook has seen Apple's stock fall 37 percent after it touched a high of $705 in September as competition in the key smartphone market escalated.
He told the audience of developers at the Moscone Center in San Francisco that Apple's App Store now has 900,000 apps,which have been downloaded a total of 50 billion times.
The conference,tickets to which sold out in just over a minute when it opened up in April,comes as South Korean rival Samsung Electronics Co Ltd has solidified its lead in the smartphone market with a 33 percent share followed by Apple with 18 percent during the first quarter,according to market research firm IDC.
Cook is under pressure to show that the company that created the smartphone and tablet markets is not slowing down as deep-pocketed competitors such as Samsung and Google Inc encroach on its share.
Investor concerns now center around whether Apple will be able to come up with more groundbreaking products as smartphone and tablet market gets more crowded.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
'Birther' Website WND To Publish Disgraced Lobbyist Jack Abramoff's Memoir
Just like the millions of Americans stuck with an illegal Kenyan-born President in the White House, Jack Abramoff is the victim of a massive media conspiracy, according to WND, anyway.
Those Indian tribes he ripped off? Their "lucrative casinos were constantly under threat from proposed changes in law" and while Abramoff "charged the tribes many millions, he saved them billions by ensuring votes to support the livelihoods of their reservations," says WND.
WND writes that much of his share "was funneled not into his own coffers, but to charities."
The book, says WND, "reveals that the Abramoff on the front pages could not be further from the Abramoff who's ready to tell his honest and compelling story."
"The biggest surprise twist comes in the form of Abramoff himself, a smart, funny, charming, clear-eyed narrator who confounds every expectation of the media's villainous portrait," according to the book description. "He's a perfect bundle of contradictions: an Orthodox Jew and upstanding family man with a staunch moral streak, caught in multiple scandals of bribery and corruption with an undercurrent of murder."
TPM asked WND Editor Joseph Farah what he thought might appeal to the WND audience about the book.
"I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding about the way publishers make decisions to publish books," Farah wrote in an email. "WND Books does not decide to publish books based on the appeal of the book to the WND audience. If we made decisions like that, we might not have the track record we have in producing so many bestsellers."
Farah continued: "This is a book that will get an enormous amount of attention beyond WND. We found it to be a very redemptive work by a fascinating personality, not to mention very newsworthy. Why would any publisher turn it down? Isn't that a better question? What's in this book that represents a threat to the publishing establishment? A better question is how is it that WND Books was so fortunate to have an opportunity to publish it."

Solubility Curve
Temperature changes the solubility of different compounds into a liquid. This change in solubility can be graphed in a solubility curve. Most graphs are nonlinear, and are concave up. Gasses have a negative slope, and solids have a positive slope.
Creative Applications
1. What does the solubility curve tell us about a compound?
2. Find the solubility curve of Sodium Nitrate. What is the solubility (in g/100 cubic cm of water) at 35 degrees? 75 degrees?
3. What does Sodium Nitrates increasing slope tell us about its phase?

British Prime Minister Cameron leaves daughter, 8, in pub
LONDON (AP) – It's every parent's nightmare: To get home from an event and realize that a child is missing. But it can turn out to be a political minefield as well if you happen to be the prime minister.
British Prime Minister David Cameron's office confirmed Monday that he accidentally left his 8-year-old daughter Nancy in a country pub after a Sunday afternoon visit.
The incident sparked a debate in Britain about Cameron's parenting and comes only a few weeks after the government set up a program to give parents of young children classes in how to raise them.
It also highlighted a sharp contrast with security procedures in the United States, where it is nearly inconceivable that a similar mistake would have been made with one of President Barack Obama's daughters. U.S. Secret Service agents routinely guard and monitor the president's immediate family when they are out in public.
In Britain, it is common for people to see the prime minister shopping for groceries and other items on weekends, although it is difficult to tell if in fact he is being carefully watched by plainclothes agents.
Cameron's office confirmed that there "are security arrangements in place for the prime minister's family," but declined to provide any details on the type of protection provided, or the numbers of detectives assigned to the leader's wife and children.
"We do not comment on the prime minister's security arrangements," said a spokeswoman for Cameron, who spoke on customary condition of anonymity in line with policy. She confirmed that no member of Cameron's security detail had been judged to have made any mistakes in allowing Nancy to be left at the pub.
On the popular British parenting website Mumsnet, some people said the mistake was "easily done" while others wondered why the Camerons had not kept a closer watch on their young daughter.
Downing Street said the incident happened "a couple of months ago" as the family was leaving the pub near Chequers, the official country house prime ministers use while in office.
Nancy had gone to the bathroom while Cameron and the rest of the family piled into two cars to drive back to the house west of London.
Cameron was traveling in one car with his bodyguards and assumed that Nancy was in the other car with his wife Samantha and their two other children. Samantha assumed Nancy was with her father, and they only realized she was missing when they got home.
The Cameron spokeswoman said "the prime minister and Samantha were distraught when they realized Nancy wasn't with them. Thankfully when they phoned the pub she was there safe and well."
Nancy was separated from her parents for around 15 minutes until Cameron arrived to collect her from The Plough in the village of Cadsden, she added.
The spokeswoman said Cameron and his wife took responsibility for the incident. "They are their children and they take responsibility for them," she said. "No one is going to face disciplinary action. This was an error."
She explained that Cameron and his wife had visited the pub with a group of friends and their children for drinks.
"He had gone with friends at lunchtime, with a number of families with children, and they left in various different vehicles," she said. "The prime minister is a very busy man, but he always tries to live as normal a life as possible with his family."
The incident was first reported in Rupert Murdoch's tabloid newspaper The Sun in the week that Cameron is due to give evidence at Britain's media ethics inquiry. Newspaper executives declined to specify how the story came to the newspaper's attention, and the pub telephone was not answered Monday.
Cameron himself set up the inquiry in the wake of revelations that reporters at another Murdoch tabloid, News of the World, had hacked into the voicemails of public figures, sports stars and even ordinary people in their search for scoops.

Weren't you excited to welcome back Lifetime's touching and hilarious switched-identity world of "Drop Dead Diva"?
In the Season 2 premiere episode, it's raining men for our heroine, Jane (played by Brooke Elliott). The episode picks up the morning after Jane's estranged husband, Ethan (Devon Gummersall), surprisingly shows up on her doorstep.
Jane, of course, has no recollection of him, but she's not alone. No one in Jane's life knew that she secretly married him in order to add him to her insurance when he was battling leukemia. Jane comes to find out that she has a visceral reaction to Ethan that she doesn't understand. Is she feeling the former Jane's attraction to Ethan?
Thankfully, her guardian angel, Fred (so glad to have Ben Feldman back!), is able to tell her that the feelings may not be warm and fuzzy. Bye, Ethan!
So, that leaves Jane back with two other romantic possibilities. There's of course, Grayson (Jackson Hurst), who was Jane's love during her life as skinny Minnie model, Deb. He clearly has feelings for Jane, because he feels the reverberations of his late fianc� in her. But we believe the physical part remains a stumbling block for him. Then, there's Tony (David Denman), the teddy bear of an attorney who fell for the Jane as she is now.

Story highlights
- Violence after 2007 Kenyan election left more than 1,000 dead
- Kenyans coming up with innovative ways to promote peace and monitor violence
- "Umati" platform being used to monitor and report hate speech, says Loren Treisman
- "Sisi Ni Amani" uses SMS to educate communities and build peace
On December 30 2007, incumbent President Mwai Kibaki was announced the winner of Kenya's highly contested presidential elections. Against a backdrop of decades of economic frustration and simmering ethnic tensions, the violence that ensued, largely along ethnic lines, shocked both the nation and the world, threatening to set progress of the development community's golden child back by decades.
The violence shook Kenya's national identity to the core. More than 1,000 people were killed and hundreds of thousands displaced in the chaotic bloodbath that followed. Gangs took to the street armed with clubs, machetes, bows and arrows, hacking people to death, burning homes and destroying the country's infrastructure, so critical to the region's stability.
On March 4, Kenyans will once again cast their votes for president. And despite tremendous efforts to prevent a repeat of the previous catastrophe, pre-election tensions are mounting. In August 2012, at least 50 people were killed in a land dispute between the Pokomo and Orma people in the Tana Delta region, and in September, deadly riots were triggered by the killing of a Muslim cleric in Mombasa, sparking fears that a bloody election could be repeated.
Yet Kenya's tech-savvy activists are determined to prevent their nation slipping into chaos and with up to 93% of Kenyans using mobile phones, they're harnessing the power of technology to monitor elections, report incidents of violence and encourage a peaceful process.
Following the 2007/8 election violence, an ad-hoc group of bloggers and technologists developed Ushahidi (meaning "Witness" in Swahili) in just two days. The Ushahidi crowdmap enabled citizens across the nation to report incidents of violence by SMS or email. Reports were compiled into an online map, providing the most comprehensive picture of the true situation in an environment where official sources were understating its true extent.
The Ushahidi team have ramped up their efforts in preparation for this year's elections. In partnership with a Kenyan NGO, the Social Development Network, they've developed Uchaguzi, which has already been deployed for the Kenyan constitutional referendum and elections in Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia.
As well as enabling citizens to monitor elections in near real-time, they have engaged more traditional election observers who are able to verify and amplify messaging to security personnel and electoral authorities in the event of outbreaks of violence. By engaging with authorities and making their responses visible, it is hoped that the platform will shine a light on the electoral process and enable greater public scrutiny and more rapid response.
Aware of the powerful influence that new media such as online forums and the blogosphere had in both inciting and dampening violence in the last election, Nairobi's iHub, a hothouse for tech innovation in Kenya, is piloting an initiative called Umati, which is monitoring and reporting hate speech that could trigger violence this year. Incidents will be integrated into the Uchaguzi platform with the hope of limiting or thwarting the harm they may cause.
In order to better inform the public, Nairobi broadsheet the Daily Nation has produced a dedicated election site focusing on the candidates, and Mzalendo, developed in partnership with mySociety, enables voters to rate their candidates and access critical information on MPs and parliamentary proceedings.
The Indigo Trust, of which I am executive, is a grant-making foundation that funds technology-driven projects that bring about social change in Africa. We have also been supporting a number of interventions that we hope will contribute towards mitigating violence in Kenya this year.
We've funded the development of a platform being hosted by Youth Agenda, which uses SMS messaging to encourage youth to select leaders on the basis of their attributes and policies as opposed to along tribal lines. The platform also collates the responses of young people, using them to initiate debate around key political issues affecting them and to inform and lobby those in charge.
We also fund the Sisi Ni Amani, a Kenyan partner of the PeaceTXT initiative, conceptualized by PopTech. Built on a violence-interruption approach that has been used in contexts as differing as Baltimore and Baghdad, the intervention combines targeted SMS with intensive on-the-ground work by existing peace builders and community leaders to target potential flashpoints of violence. As well as encouraging users to vote, the platform sends out violence-prevention messages, provides civic education and updates communities about relevant peace-building activities, with the aim of de-escalating tensions and reducing the potential for conflict.
Several international interventions are complementing this wide range of home-grown initiatives. Google's Kenya elections hub enables voters to register online, receive SMS confirmation and locate polling stations on a map, while YouTube has launched a dedicated Kenya Election 2013 channel, in collaboration with Storyful.
Social media is also contributing towards a transparent and accountable process.
Over 25% of Kenyans are now online. Kenya has an estimated 11, 000 bloggers and almost 2.5 million Tweets were sent by Kenyans in just the last three months of 2012 -- many based around political messaging.
Social media has been shown to influence government, with the #140friday discussions around the fairness of government tenders being credited with an increased allocation of government contracts to Kenyan companies. MP Ferdinand Waititu was identified as an alleged inciter of violence through a video clip captured by mobile phone at a rally.
Significant challenges still remain. It is well known that alternative media often doesn't reach poorer communities, which include the slums where there were severe outbreaks of violence in the aftermath of the last elections. Both social and traditional media also greatly contributed to inciting and escalating the violence in 2007/8.
Whilst it's impossible to predict how Kenya's March election will be acted out, one can be certain that any atrocities will be committed under the public scrutiny of a tech-savvy society. And as Africa's most technologically innovative nation goes to the polls, we can only hope that tech-driven interventions will contribute towards a peaceful process.

Yes, Mr. Cereal Company Customer Service Representative, I have quite a few concerns about your product! I thought this was supposed to be part of a child's complete breakfast, but I don't believe I'll be feeding this to my children ever again. Why? Oh, I'll tell you why!
First off, my youngest, Nathan, bit into one of the pieces – looked to be mushroom-shaped – and he hasn't settled down all day. He just keeps sprinting up and down the hall. But, to be totally honest, he's the least of my problems!
Sarah, the middle child – she picked out just the flower pieces. Then, shortly after she finished her bowl, she started complaining that it felt like her mouth was on fire. I figured the cereal must just be spicy – which seems odd, but still more probable than what happened next, which is that she started spitting fire! She just about torched my blouse with one powerful belch.
That's when I started to think "these kids need to go to the hospital." But when I went to go grab my car keys, they weren't where I'd left them. Then, from behind me, I heard my oldest, Brandon, say "Looking for these?" because he's the big jokester of the family. Sure enough he had the keys in his hand… which, by the way, was glowing and changing colors! His whole body was! Well, I chased him around for a bit, yelling that this is a serious matter, but I could barely catch up with him. And when I finally did and laid my hand on his shoulder, some unknown force knocked me clear to the ground.
So basically, Mr. Cereal Company Customer Service Representative, what I want to know is WHAT THE HECK IS IN THIS STUFF?
Wear this shirt: If you've been waiting so, so long for Shirt.Woot to sell a Mario-themed shirt, and now it seems as though luck has smiled upon you! And also, you have amnesia.
Don't wear this shirt: to an IHOP. Little known fact: Bowser is actually majority shareholder.
This shirt tells the world: "When it comes to breakfast, I'm a power eater."
We call this color: Kelly Green, which is less accurate and harder to work with than red.

Statements on Auditing No. 23 Procedure December 1947 Clarification of Accountant's Report When Opinion Is Omitted 1, The presentation of financial statements on the stationery or in a report of an independent public accountant without a definitive expression clearly indicating the representations he is making as to their fairness tends to create uncertainties in the minds of those who do not have special information regarding the preparation of the financial statements. In such cases, these third parties have no basis for determining what inferences are warranted by the association of the accountant's name with the financial statements and may place undue reliance upon them. 2, Illustrative of the practices which frequently give rise to such uncertainties are the following: (a) The presentation of financial statements on the stationery of the accountant without comment, opinion, or signature; or with the assertion that the statements are "for management purposes only." (b) The omission of an expression of opinion or of a specific dis-claimer of an opinion in a report of an accountant in which financial statements and comments on the scope of the audit are included. 3. In the first case it is not clear whether, by his silence, the ac-countant intends to express unequivocal satisfaction with the finan-cial statements or whether he intends to disclaim any opinion at all. The assertion that the statements are "for management purposes only" leaves the reader in doubt as to whether it indicates a limita-tion on the scope of the audit examination, whether it merely desig-nates the form in which fully-approved statements are presented, or whether it has some other significance. In the second case, there is a review of the accountant's procedures, but it is not clear whether those procedures were sufficient to permit the expression of an opinion. 159 Issued by the Committee on Auditing Procedure, American Institute of Accountants, 13 East 41st Street, New York 17, N.

Is selling cigarettes or liquor to minors a major problem in Pleasanton? I certainly understand the need for enforcement of the laws, but how much time, energy and tax resources are being allocated to this sting operation. I feel for some of these small businesses, trying hard to make a living and having to now deal with fines and legal defense of their liquor licenses. It seems like a warning or some type of reminder to businesses would be more appropriate.

I agree with tax payer. I'd like to see more done about getting some of the drivers under more control who thing our roads are the Indianapolis 500, and the the rules of the road don't apply to them.

Don't get me wrong, I hate these snot- nosed hoodlums, all the offspring of Pleasanton's liberal loon "parents", who smoke their cigarettes and leave their filthy butts on my front sidewalk. But all children should not have to submit to the Nanny state which attempts to take away our freedoms to burn baby burn, drink and drive, and sell cigarettes and other contraband items to free individual teens who I personally detest with a passion. Don't bother contacting the local overpaid police. I've tried several times, trying to get the teens removed from our Downtown. They never show up. Only if you try to pollute your neighbors' (god I HATE them) air do they make an appearance.

Too much hate from Cholo. You have a lot of crust directing your liberal vitriall at me. Instead of calling me names, try reading my response carefully and note how one should go about carefully analyzing a complex issue. Meanwhile, I see none of the overpaid public workers have attempted to get the snotnosed smokers off my front sidewalk.

Anyone look at the math on this article? Here is the quote, "Of the 41 businesses visited Tuesday, four were closed and 39 complied with the law." 39+4=41? How about 43 stores visited?

A smell reminiscent of San Diego County's agricultural past
Yuccas, orchid trees, and citrus in bloom
noon, March 25
One travels around the globe when listening to the contemporary flamenco guitarist Jesse Cook. From his eighth album, The Rumba Foundation, we hear the influences of Colombia with modern interpretations of international guitar music in the vein of Gipsy Kings and Ottmar Liebert.
"Bogota by Bus" takes us high into the Andes mountains with its Colombian-inspired music. "Bombay Diner" is an excursion to India where the guitar is played like a sitar, a stringed musical instrument used throughout the Indian subcontinent. Cook captures America on vocal track "Cecilia," a hit song by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Also featured on the album are "Santa Marta" and "Gaita," which showcase accordion and panpipes responding to Cook's flamenco strings. "Manolo's Lament" flatters the guitar stylings of Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto's song "El Manolo," while Latin guitar composition "La Rumba del Jefe" is made romantic with violin accompaniment. In one of his quieter pieces, "Afternoon at Satie's," the guitar sounds like a harp in its gentle melody.
The Juno-award-winning Cook is based in Toronto, Canada, and is currently on a world concert tour performing music from The Rumba Foundation. He will play the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert on January 16.

SUFFIELD TWP.: The first of three Goodyear state-of-the-art airships, which will replace the current fleet of its iconic but outdated blimps, is approaching the halfway construction mark just southeast of the company's home city of Akron.
Workers at the tire maker's Wingfoot Lake airship hangar have started hanging a DuPont polyester skin over the $21 million airship's aluminum and carbon fiber framework.
And that large, but lightweight frame is one of the major differences between Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.'s three U.S.-based blimps and the new airship. Blimps do not have an internal frame or skeleton – they basically are a massive bag filled with nonflammable helium with a gondola cabin and engines strapped on.
This new semi-rigid airship technically is a dirigible, meaning it does have an internal frame. It is a joint venture between Goodyear and German company ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik.
Goodyear will continue to call the new airships "blimps," which the company acknowledges will grate with aviation purists.
"People get very technical. What we're building here is not a blimp, let me clear about that. It is an airship," said Ed Ogden, spokesman for the Wingfoot Lake airship operations. "But we like to call it Goodyear Blimp NT. The reason being, it's a popular name [and] we don't see the general public wanting to make that change."
No matter what people call them, the new airship will continue to be the Akron company's globally recognized goodwill ambassadors and a major marketing tool that provides aerial coverage of sporting and other events.
The new airships will replace what Goodyear calls its GZ20A blimp model, whose design dates to 1968. (Goodyear has been building blimps since 1919.)
The new Zeppelin-manufactured airship will have three engines instead of two. It will be 246 feet long, making it about 50 feet longer than the blimps. The new airship is also a bit wider, not quite as high and will have a much quieter and roomier cabin.
Different color scheme
The new airship will also be getting a different, undisclosed color scheme while still being instantly recognizable as a Goodyear blimp, Ogden said.
"The work that remains to be done is very detailed," said Nancy Ray, Goodyear's director of global airship operations. "Once you get the envelope on, there's a lot of work that will be done inside that's not very visible to the world. ... We don't put helium in until the very end."
Typically, eight to 10 people work each day building the new airship, Ray said. They are a mix of Goodyear employees and Zeppelin employees, she said.
Zeppelin is the manufacturer, she said. "So it is a joint team."
The work is done inside Goodyear's 1917-era hangar in Suffield Township that has been extensively cleaned and refurbished. The hangar just barely squeezes in both the under-construction airship and the Spirit of Goodyear — the blimp has to be kept at an angle to fit inside.
"This facility here is the only one, other than in Germany, that is approved to build a Goodyear NT," Ray said.
Initial planning started in 2007 for the new airships, Ray said.
Jared Haren, project leader, was working to finish the NT airship's lightning protection system that will shield the high tech electronics the aircraft relies upon. He noted that plans fell through to build a Zeppelin airship in the hangar way back in 1917.
"This is the first [U.S.-built] Zeppelin since 1933, the Macon," Haren said.
The U.S.S. Macon and sister ship U.S.S. Akron were built by the former Goodyear Zeppelin Corp., later renamed Goodyear Aircraft, in the much larger Akron Airdock.
Among the new technology in the Goodyear NT are three vectoring prop engines, meaning they swivel up and down.
Flies like a copter
"So, it takes off and lands like a helicopter," she said. "It's all fly-by-wire, high tech, glass cockpit, beautiful. It will be fabulous, really."
Greg Poppenhouse, Goodyear's chief airship pilot, over the past 2½ years has spent about 180 hours flying a similar Zeppelin airship in Germany. He is helping train Goodyear's other pilots on the new airship.
The technology used to fly the current blimp fleet has not changed much since the 1930s, Poppenhouse noted.
The Zeppelin, on the other hand, uses modern technology, he said.
"It's a very unique experience," Poppenhouse said. "It's much like flying a helicopter when you land and take off. Flying in the air is much like flying a plane. You have a joystick that controls your pitch and your lateral movements. It's a very enjoyable experience for the passengers. It's very quiet."
The airship now being built will replace the Spirit of Goodyear blimp that is housed at the Wingfoot Lake hangar. The name for the new airship has not been announced.
Goodyear announced in May 2011 that it will be replacing its three U.S. blimps with the Zeppelins. Construction started earlier this year. Two more NTs will be built over the next several years.
First flight in 2014
Work on the initial airship is expected to be finished by January, with the first flight sometime in March 2014.
Goodyear and Zeppelin have had a decades-long relationship. The GZ in GZ20A blimp designation stands for Goodyear Zeppelin — even though the blimp manufacturer technically is Lockheed Martin.
So, you might have anticipated that the GZ designation would be retained. Instead, the NT stands for New Technology.

Coastal Safety Seminar - April 14, 2013
This seminar is newly designed in a collaboration between Chuck Hawley, USSailing Safety at Sea Chair and NorCalORC. Designed to address near-coastal racing, such as is found in many of our local ocean races, the seminar is pared down from the full-on SAS seminars available in February and May.
While those full-day seminars are packed with useful information, the prudent skipper and crew may find that, for shorter jaunts, the half day seminar focusing on the most salient issues for a shorter trip may suffice.
Major event organizers, including OYRA, have agreed to accept this course in fulfillment of training requirements to become effective in 2014. This course will not satisfy Trans-Oceanic races such as those going to Hawaii or Southern California. Consult the organizers for the final word.

Lab website: http://labs.pbrc.edu/pediatric-obesityDr. Staiano is a developmental psychologist in pediatric obesity with an interest in technology-mediated physical activity interventions to target children who are most at-risk for obesity and chronic disease. Her research has examined how technological devices like exergames (i.e. activity-promoting video games) affect youths' adiposity, physical activity, and eating behaviors. She has led multiple scientific investigations of adolescents' use of exergames, including the "Wii Active" study funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which was a 20-week school-based exergame intervention for overweight and obese African American adolescents, and the "Klub Kinect" project to demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of conducting a 12-week exergaming physical activity intervention for weight loss among overweight and obese adolescent girls. In the fall of 2015, Dr. Staiano's team is launching "GameSquad," a 6-month gaming intervention for children aged 10 to 12 years, funded by the American Heart Association.
As Roadmap Scholar for the NIH-funded Louisiana Clinical and Translational Science Center (LA CaTS), Dr. Staiano is also examining the influence of sedentary time, specifically television viewing, on young adults' eating attitudes, obesity, and cardiometabolic risk factors.
Drawing from her public policy training, Dr. Staiano participates in scientific advocacy at the national, state, and local level.

SACRAMENTO - Two state senators with opposite views on stem cell research forged an odd political alliance Wednesday when they introduced a proposed constitutional amendment to "reform" the new $3 billion California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, which is already facing two lawsuits seeking to put it out of business.Sens. Deborah Ortiz, D-Sacramento, and George Runner, R-Lancaster, also introduced legislation banning for three years so-called "multiple egg donations" from women who voluntarily submit to hormone injections to "superovulate" in the name of research. If passed, that law would effectively prevent the agency from funding human cloning projects for medical research for three years.Runner opposed Proposition 71, which passed in November and created the institute that is to dole out $3 billion in grants supporting human embryonic stem cell research. Ortiz, on the other hand, endorsed and campaigned for the initiative.But Ortiz has grown increasingly concerned with some of the proposition's fine print that allows for key agency committees to conduct much of their work behind closed doors."There are some reasonable exceptions," said Ortiz, indicating the vetting of individual grant applications should be done in private, for instance. "But those exceptions ought not become the general rule."The proposed proposition would also tighten the agency's conflict-of-interest policies and require that any medicine developed with agency funding be made affordable for all Californians and that all financial arrangements with pharmaceutical companies ensure that the state share in drug sales.The two said the dramatic step of introducing a proposed constitutional amendment in the Legislature to be placed on the next California ballot, which needs two-thirds approval in both houses before being placed on the ballot, was necessary because Proposition 71, explicitly prohibits the Legislature from amending the initiative for three years. The proposition vested all the agency's decision-making power with a 29-member board appointed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and other elected officials."We believe there ought to be outside curbs," Runner said during a press conference at the Capitol Wednesday.Ortiz and Runner insist they have widespread support in the Legislature and leaders of both houses said Wednesday they supported the legislation.The duo also insist their action Wednesday wouldn't slow the agency's ability to issue its first grants, which it now hopes to do by October. However, the attorney general's office said the agency will be unable to sell bonds to a skittish market as long as the two lawsuits remain pending.Interim president Zach Hall said Tuesday that he hoped for quick resolutions to the lawsuits, which allege the proposition illegally exempts agency members from conflict of interest laws and wrongfully places financial oversight of tax dollars in their hands.Robert Klein and Ed Penhoet, the chair and vice chair of the committee that oversees the stem cell agency, said in a prepared statement released late Wednesday that nearly 60 percent of the California electorate supported Proposition 71."Their votes were not only an expression of hope, but also a vote of confidence that the Prop 71 initiative contains sufficient governance, oversight and accountability mechanisms to address the very same issues Sens. Ortiz and Runner discussed," the statement said. "The initiative anticipated and the institute is structured to provide significant conflict of interest regulations and medical and ethical standard, especially to protect women."The legislation banning the multiple egg collection for three years needs a simple majority to pass, but Ortiz conceded it might run up against Proposition 71's prohibition against bills not viewed as "supplemental" to the initiative.Nonetheless, she said the law is needed to protect the health of women who volunteer to take fertility drugs solely for research purposes.Proposition 71 prohibits cloning to create babies but plans to fund human cloning projects designed to create stem cells. During a meeting with reporters Tuesday, Hall said cloning human embryos will give scientists better insight into how diseases begin and progress.Those scientists vow to never remove the embryo from the petri dish and to destroy the creations after extracting the stem cells, according to the ballot language that forbids keeping experimental embryos longer than 12 days.The basic idea is to take the genetic material - from the cell nucleus - from a patient's body and plop it into an unfertilized human egg. The implanted DNA then drives the egg to develop into an embryo.To do that, California researchers will need eggs.About 100,000 American women are injected annually with hormones to stimulate their ovaries to "superovulate" each year at fertility clinics in attempts to conceive babies. The process is arduous, and there's a 1-in-50 chance a patient will over-respond to the hormones, causing complications.Ortiz, Runner and other critics of the practice said there may be long-term health consequences of fertility drugs and that a small percentage of women who go through the process may suffer adverse effects."The protection of women's health is not a Democratic or Republican issue," Runner said.These issues weren't raised during last year's campaign, Ortiz said, and must be examined for the three years before conducting multiple egg donations.The new legislative assault on Proposition 71 came on the same day that San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, San Diego and several other cities delivered bids that included free rent and other inducements to locate the agency's permanent headquarters in their cities.

BAGHLAN MARKAZI, Afghanistan - Afghan police have arrested the parents of a 14-year-old girl after they attacked a religious cleric and cut off his nose and ears in retaliation for what they say were a series of sexual attacks on their daughter.
Right activists say there has been a sharp rise in violent attacks against women in the deeply conservative Muslim country, where women have fought hard to gain rights after the collapse of Taliban government in 2001.
Restoring women's rights after the Taliban was ousted by a U.S.-led coalition of troops was cited as one of the main objectives of the war.
The provincial head of women's affairs, Khadija Yaqeen, told Reuters that the girl had told her parents four months ago she had been assaulted.
The father invited the mullah to his house on Monday for dinner, police said.
"I cut off his ears and nose," her father Abdul Qahar, dressed in a traditional shalwar kameez and a turban, said from the police chief's office in the northern Baghlan province.
"I don't know if a cat ate his ears, but his nose went down the drain," he told Reuters, speaking in the Dari language
Police arrested the girl's parents on Tuesday. Ahmad Jawid Basharat, a police spokesman in Baghlan, said Qahar had tied the cleric's hands and feet and cut off his nose and an ear as an act of revenge.
The 32-year-old cleric denied he had assaulted the girl. Police said they have opened a case against him.
Religious, or sharia, law often holds sway over contitutional law in some parts of rural Afghanistan.
"If there was a functioning rule of law, then he would be punished even more severely," said the girl's mother, Sultana, wearing a traditional all-covering burqa.
There is growing fear among many people in Afghanistan that the withdrawal of NATO-led forces and efforts to reach a political agreement with the Taliban to end the 12-year-old war could undermine hard-won freedoms for women.
The hardline Islamist government banned girls from attending school when it ruled the country from 1996 to 2001, and during the insurgency its militants have regularly bombed girls' schools built with U.S. money.

Resident Evil 6 Debut Trailer
Comments are Closed
i just hope the story delivers. i like the resident evil gameplay, not being able to run and shoot doesn't bother me. i was emotionally invested in resident evil 4, resident evil 5 jus didn't give me that same feeling playing it. anybody else know what im talking about? p.s. is it just me or does leon look like a douch in this game?
Posted: January 19, 2012 4:43 PM -
Let me move and shoot. And give me a knife that kills in 1 to 2 swipes and I will be happy.
Posted: January 19, 2012 4:33 PM -
A big meh. Too much shooting, not enough adventure like the originals. FPS's with zombies are SO tired, they'd have done better to stray from that.

Oh wait guys, I see they threw some Gears of War gameplay in there.
I take it all back.
Resident Evil is still fresh and original. Rofl.Posted: January 19, 2012 3:38 PM -
Resident Evil 6 represents a giant stride forward in the evolution of the series"
RE hasn't been relevant in almost a decade now.Posted: January 19, 2012 3:33 PM -
Can we just scrap the whole world wide bioterrorist plot and just get back to regular ass zombies?Resident Evil 4 was pretty cool but this story keeps getting more and more ridiculous. Just throw me into a world full of zombies with little ammo and even less hope. I just can't get into these over the top plotlines with plant like zombies. Revamp this series and get it back to its roots. If zombies were scary on the PSone I could only imagine what they could do on the current systems.
Posted: January 19, 2012 3:31 PM -
I hope PC version has Nvidia 3D Vision support just like RE5 did. That will rock!!! I'm glad they brought back the zombies. Citywide Zombies!! Oh yea.. Looking down on the city in 3D would totally rock!!
Posted: January 19, 2012 3:23 PM -
Yes we got the survival horror with leon action with chris and whos that third guy? Can not wait! and just the hardcore fan nerding but Why isn't leon voiced by paul mercer of RE4?
Posted: January 19, 2012 3:21 PM -
More co-op? Booooo but I can get over it. More action? YES!! Classic characters? YESS!! Multiple playable characters at certain points? .........I'm not too sure about this one.
But overall while I've honestly gotten over the hype for Resident Evil I'm still looking forward to this.Posted: January 19, 2012 3:21 PM -
I would love to see RE6 on Steam with online CO-OP. That would be a fun way to kill some zombies :)
Posted: January 19, 2012 3:12 PM -
This game looks pretty cool. However why do I get the feeling I still wont be able to run and shoot?
Posted: January 19, 2012 3:10 PM -
OMG I REALYYYYY Cant wait for this Game to Come out im a Huge Resident Evil Fan and i will pre order and get this game at the Midnight Launch
Posted: January 19, 2012 3:07 PM -
Awesome. No surprise, really, but it's good to know its on the way. I love the RE series, but I hope the remain true to whatever canon remains. The story is quite confusing as it is, not including the movies. I would like something like MGS4, where they clear up a lot of questions and sort the story out. Only, less cutscenes.

Augusta! Want Bicentennial Nature Park to Open This Summer? You Can Help Tuesday!
Last summer, Bicentennial Nature Park on Route 3 in Augusta didn't open because of budget woes. This year, a group calling itself "Friends of Bicentennial Nature Park," is trying, through private funding, to make sure it opens in time for this year's hot weather and you can help this Tuesday night!
Starting Tuesday (4/30) evening at 5:30, there is a fundraiser going on at Charlamagne's on Water Street in downtown Augusta. It's a chance for you to help out simply by stopping by and enjoying yourself! There will be two Red Sox tix up for grabs as part of the benefit, too!
Cheryl Clukey (or, as she says she's known, Julia's mom) is the Chair for Augusta's Recreation Advisory Board and, in conjunction with the Augusta Rotary, which is lead by Dave Kahl, they're working to ramp up interest and get donations from businesses and individuals who want to pitch in. In fact, if you'd like information about other ways you can help out, email Dave!
The cost to open and run the park for the summer is about $40,000 which, in the world of municipal budgets, seems like a drop in the bucket. Help if you can. This park, as Cheryl pointed out during our chat this morning, is a local treasure on Three Cornered Pond that shouldn't sit idle when residents could be enjoying it.
Here's a description of the park on the "Friends" Facebook page:
Bicentennial Nature Park, established in 2001, is situated on approximately 27 acres located six miles from Augusta. Site includes picnicking, swimming, fishing and hiking and is replete with beautiful scenery and wildlife.
