MSC Cruises have announced that celebrated British chef, Antony Worrall Thompson, will be onboard the MSC Splendida next February to showcase his culinary skills.
The award winning chef, known for his appearances on Ready, Steady, Cook and I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, will board the MSC Splendida on 5th Feb 2012 in Barcelona and will make a series of appearances on Monday 6th Feb, showcasing some of his best loved dishes and a selection specially prepared for MSC.
Worrall Thompson said: "I have always loved messing about in boats, so when MSC Cruises asked me to come on board and cook for some of its guests, it was too good an opportunity to miss. Particularly when the request comes from a company that places such importance on great food... I will be demonstrating some of my favourite dishes, plus a couple of surprises that I am preparing specially for the occasion."
Antony is among five of Europe's top chefs who will be joining the MSC fleet for a series of special themed cruises, new for the 2011/12 season. Other Michelin starred chefs taking part include France's Gilles Epié, Germany's Kolja Kleeberg and Paco Roncero of Spain, along with popular Sicilian chef Filippo La Mantia.
The seven night sailing, featuring AWT, departs Genoa on the 4th Feb and with prices starting at £589 pp it's a great opportunity to soak up some warm winter sun in the Med and see one of Britain's favourite TV chefs in action.

UPDATED at 8:15 a.m.
A 48-year-old woman was killed late Thursday in a three-car crash on Pacific Highway South in Federal Way.
Federal Way police report a Honda S2000 was going north on Pacific Highway South just after 11 p.m. The 32-year-old woman was driving without her lights on and with her 4-year-old son in the car.
The car went across the centerline in the 37000 block and struck a Honda Civic head-on as it drove southbound.
The Civic went airborne and landed sideways. A third car – a Honda Accord – struck the Civic's driver's side door, police reported. The driver of the Civic was killed.
Federal Way police suspect the woman driving the S2000 was either drunk or under the influence of drugs and arrested her on suspicion of vehicular homicide. She was driving with a suspended license but has no prior DUI convictions, police report.
She and her son were taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
The driver of the Honda Accord suffered minor injuries.
The investigation of the crash closed the thoroughfare for several hours. It has since reopened.
We will update this post when more information is released.

text: Show Hide image Politics 4 October 2010 Forget the budget deficit, the coalition must deal with the jobs deficit There are now five people chasing every vacancy in the UK. There can be no doubting Iain Duncan-Smith's commitment to welfare reform. The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions has staked his political career on ambitious and costly plans to simplify the benefits system and make work pay. And though it has received less attention, his Department is also investing in the 'Work Programme', a scheme costing billions annually to improve people's job prospects and help them find work. But in a year when the number of long-term unemployed workers alone outstrips job vacancies by 330,000, shouldn't we be asking whether these are the only, or indeed the right, priorities? The vast ranks of unemployed workers who are neither 'workshy' nor trapped in a cycle of benefit dependency (some would say the majority) are in for a hard time over the next few years. A quick look at the maths tells us why. Long-term unemployment has doubled in the last two years to 797,000 while the number of job vacancies on Jobcentre Plus books has fallen to 467,000. There are now five people chasing every vacancy in the UK and our estimates based on Office for Budget Responsibility projections suggest this will shift only slightly to 4.6 people for every vacancy by the end of 2011. These are not the only vacancies in the job market but they are the ones most likely to be secured by those with fewer skills or less experience - also those most at risk of being left behind in the wake of the recession. Though employment increased in the last quarter much of this can be accounted for by more part-time work and people choosing not to retire. In today's climate, reforms to make work pay and improve people's job prospects are not wrong, they're just not enough. The Coalition government is relying on private sector growth to fill the jobs gap, with no alternative strategy if this doesn't work out. A new report published by IPPR this week identifies a number of ways the government can help boost the jobs market without having to resort to expensive job subsidies. Small businesses will be central to sustaining the recovery, creating jobs in new and expanding sectors. Yet many say they can't find workers with the right skills and don't have the capacity to recruit. As well as helping people find work, welfare to work providers couldhelp stimulate growth by supporting businesses to expand or invest in workforce training, thus creating jobs and boosting productivity. Similarly, unemployed workers could cover periods of staff training or absence, providing those out of work with new skills and preventing a drop in productivity for employers. This approach was used in Finland and Denmark during the recessions of the 1990s and helped businesses in these countries weather the downturn. In Denmark three out of every four unemployed people found permanent work in this way in the 1990s. Re-directing some existing skills funding and greater employer co-financing could pay for this. Over the last year we have interviewed unemployed people who are frightened and angry at finding themselves out of work for no reason other than the highs and lows of the economy. We asked people what they want from the system. Their demands were modest. They want to know what jobs they can find locally both now and in the future, so that they can re-train if necessary. In national, standardised system such as the one we have in the UK, this kind of advice is surprisingly hard to find. They want job-specific training that makes it more likely they will find work. They want to know they will eventually find a job if they try hard enough. But most of all they want to know that they and their families are not alone in being made to carry the burden of a financial crisis they had no role in creating. Unless more is done to create the jobs they need, they may take some convincing on this. Claire McNeil is a researcher at the IPPR think tank. Clare McNeil is a senior research fellow at IPPR.

There may be significant implementation difficulties with resuming the vibration pattern, at least on Android. The safest path is to cancel the vibration when switching to another page (or to another Android app), and not to resume it when the page becomes visible again. -- Dave Raggett<firstname.lastname@example.com> http://www.w3.org/People/RaggettReceived on Thursday, 10 November 2011 13:49:01 UTC

Animating Graphics in Cocoa, Part 1
Pages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
This annoying behavior is a side effect of our application having only one thread of execution. That is, only one thing can happen at a time, and the consequence is that when the control is being held and moved, the animation timer stops temporarily until we release the control. To fix this, we make our application multithreaded. The way this works is that when
AnimationView is initialized, we detach a new thread from the main thread of execution. In the new thread, we handle the animation loop, and in the main thread we handle any user interaction. By doing this, we can create a much nicer animation and user interaction experience.
A new thread is created using the class method of
+detachNewThreadSelector:toTarget:withObject:. This method takes as its arguments a selector to be invoked -— the method we want to execute in the new thread -- the target of the method indicated by the selector, and some object that contains arbitrary information we might want to access in the new thread. Note that threads are set up to execute a single method.
We'll detach a new thread in the initialization code of
initWithFrame:. The line creating a new thread will replace the code where we previously created our timer.
[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(animate:) toTarget:self withObject:nil];
The thread we are creating here will execute a method called
animate:, of the class
AnimationView. The
withObject: argument is nil since there is nothing we want to communicate with the new thread. The method
-animate: is new to us; it will contain the code necessary to kick off and time the animation.
When we make a new thread, the first thing that must happen is the creation of an autorelease pool, and the last thing that the thread does before exiting is to release this pool. Until now, we've never had a need to create our own autorelease pool. Cocoa has always supplied one for us. Note that if you are using a thread to execute code that doesn't use the Cocoa frameworks, then you don't need to create and autorelease pool.
For example, if you had a method that ran some lengthy calculation using only the standard C math functions, then you wouldn't need an autorelease pool. With this new context for using autorelease pools, you might want to review that documentation. With this, let's set up the framework for the method
- (void)animate:(id)anObject
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
// execute our code here
[pool release];
The argument to
animate: is type
id; this is the way a method must be set up for use by a thread. The object we specify in
withObject: when we create a new thread is passed as an argument to
animate:, and we can access it thusly. For more information about
NSThread, take a gander through the class reference; it's pretty short and straight to the point, with many useful insights about threads.
Our animation code is sandwiched between the two lines dealing with the autorelease pool. Lets take a look at that now.
Multithreaded Animation
When we use a separate thread for the animation timing, we're going to do things a bit differently than above. Rather than use a timer that fires whenever we want a new frame, we will set up a continuous
while statement that steps the animation. Within the
while loop we will do two things: we will call
stepAnimation, and we will tell the display to update itself.
–animate: looks like this:
- (void)animate:(id)anObject
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
while (YES) {
[self stepAnimation:nil];
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
[pool release];
Note that
-stepAnimation: also calls
setNeedsDisplay:. We want to delete that line from
stepAnimation:, since it is now called in the
while loop of
animate:. The reason we moved it is purely a matter of that message "fitting" in better with the function of
–animate: as opposed to
If you run this code as is, you will notice another disturbing behavior: the ball is just jumping all over the place —- nothing nice about that. The reason for this is that when we call
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES] the display is not immediately updated. The main thread of execution deals with drawing via
drawRect: when it gets some processor time; all we do is let the view know we want an update.
However, while the main thread wants to draw, the animation thread is looping through that
while statement as fast as it can, and the main thread tries to update as soon as it can, but it simply can't keep up. As a result, the animation progresses many more steps between each redraw. To remedy this problem, we tell the animation thread to take a break for a short while and let the other thread take care of business. This is accomplished using the
NSThread method
sleepUntilDate: after we call for an update to the display:
- (void)animate:(id)anObject
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
while (YES) {
[self stepAnimation:nil];
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
[NSThread sleepUntilDate:[NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0.04]];
[pool release];
[NSThread exit];
Also in Programming with Cocoa
Understanding the NSTableView Class
Notice we choose the time interval to be the same as the
NSTimer interval we had earlier. With this, you can run the animation and everything will look good. Notice that you can now move the sliders and the speed of the ball will change in real time -- no annoying pause. And that is one of the uses of multithreading: sending some code off to do its thing without locking the user out of the application.
As you'll read in the
NSThread reference, be careful about your multithreading, because when you get down to it, the processor really can only do one thing at a time. The real benefit of multithreading comes when you have multiple processors. Then you can really execute two or more things simultaneously.
The End
We have seen how we can do some pretty good multithreaded animation that lets the user interact with what's going on. The link to download the first version of this application was given above. The project folder for the second version can be downloaded here and finally, here is a link to a third project that works the animation in a slightly different way, allowing the user to scale the size of the ball. I leave you with that to ponder.

Juan Bautista Elguézabal (1741-1805) was appointed adjutant inspector of the presidios of Coahuila and Texas in 1795, while also serving as assistant to governor of Texas, Manuel Muñoz, in 1796. After he was selected interim governor in 1797, Elguézabal promoted the development of Texas and allowed the Choctaw and the Alabama-Coushatta Indians to settle in the region east of the Trinity River. Elguézabal remained governor until his death in 1805.

Abu Dhabi Saracens could be fined after forfeiting their West Asia Champions League rugby match against Kandy SC yesterday night at the Dubai International Stadium.
Abu Dhabi took offence on the organizers not arranging an ambulance on the ground before the start of the game which is a requirement for any match under the IRB rules.
Hence the Abu Dhabi Saracens team refused to play the match and walked out of the ground in protest.
The organizers of the West Asian Champions League rugby tournament will declare their final verdict on the issue today.

A $100,000 study of how much noise there is in Juneau -- with and without flightseeing aircraft -- is slated to kick off with a public meeting July 27.
The city manager has hired Michael Baker Jr. Inc. to take the city's first stab at gathering technical data about what some residents characterize as an intolerable intrusion, and others view as an acceptable side effect of doing business.
Two other recently conducted noise studies, one by the Federal Aviation Administration and the other by the Forest Service, differed appreciably in scope from this one, said McKie Campbell, senior environmental manager for Baker, a national engineering firm with offices in Juneau.
``The (FAA's) airport study focused on noise and other issues at the airport,'' Campbell said. ``And the Forest Service regulates where aircraft can land on Forest Service land, where their study was conduced, in this case on the icefield. We've been hired to do a scientific measurement of ambient noise in Juneau, and of noise caused by flightseeing.''
The data derived from the study should give all parties concerned a factual basis to work from, he said.
Juneau's situation is unique, said Paul Dunholder, principal of Bridgenet, the California subcontractor scheduled to perform the field measurements. ``On the federal level, they've done studies, but more for commercial aircraft at airports.''
Bridgenet performed a 1990 noise study at Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park, where flight noise was also an issue, Dunholder said. ``We've also done work for the Forest Service and national parks. But, of course, nobody lives there.''
His company is not trying to determine whether certain noise levels are acceptable, he said. ``What we're trying to do is document levels.''
The study will also consider possible methods for mitigating noise, Dunholder said. These include the adjustment of flight paths and altitude, and other elements of what have become known nationally as ``fly quiet'' programs, similar to Juneau's voluntary compliance program. New, quieter aircraft technologies will also be considered, he said.
``But it's not like Juneau isn't doing a lot already,'' Dunholder said. ``In fact, all the easy food has been picked.''
The planned July 27 public meeting is being organized by subcontractor SWCA, a Utah environmental consulting firm.
SWCA will try to keep the Peace and Quiet Coalition initiative and other tourism-related issues separate from the study, said company spokeswoman Cathryn Collis.
Those conducting the study are looking for public input about where noise monitors might be placed, though the final decision about monitor locations will not be left entirely to the community, Collis said.
``We'll start the meeting with introductions and the establishment of courtesy ground rules,'' she said. ``It's important that people treat one another with respect, that they not interrupt, or boo or cheer or clap.
``Everybody's point of view is born of experience, and one experience is as valid as another,'' she said.
Preliminary results of the testing will be presented at a second meeting, tentatively set for Sept. 21, Campbell said, and a draft final report will be submitted to the city in October.
``There is a great polarization on the noise issue (in Juneau),'' Campbell said. ``And we are not advocating for or against either side of the issue.
``I really hope people will come and participate.''

Good Points...
But the violence in my opinion was still way to pointless. I would of understand if Deoxys did attack Rayquaza first. But it was him who sent the first blow. Even if Rayquaza was territorial. Rayquaza seemed stereotypical. He was the giant green lizard who caused a lot of destruction. Also in the games he was supposed to be a "peacemaker" however the anime seems to destroy that image in my opinion.
"Ash is the main character, the hero, how could he not have a major role? Sure, May and Brock didn't have to get shafted, but at least Max got to costar with Ash in the sixth movie"
I don't hate Ash it's just that the whole "I'm the Hero! It's up to me." or "I'm the chosen one" that is just old and predictable. I'm not saying he shouldn't have a magor role, but so should the other main charecters (May, Max, and Brock) And most of the episodes in the anime are centered around Ash.
"Well they weren't beaten by them, just buried. ^_^"
Why couldn't three really powerful pokemon (Who can fly) escape from blocks? Don't they have powerful attacks? Even if there was millions of blocks, a few hyper beams, and phyco boost could do the trick. Yet two human kids were not buried by blocks...
"Indeed, but it was supposed to be an extremely mysterious creature. And more was revealed about Deoxys than that. Why we don't know, but it seemed the two Deoxys were riding on the asteroid more than being native to it. In the end they simply return to space, making it appear they are a nomadic species that wanders the universe.
We also learn that they communicate via patterns of light and energy, as well as their "wierd" vision, which seems to be an optical form of a shark's ability to detect electricity in living things. Moreover they possess a unique body structure, with most of their body apparently being a extension of a "true form" the crystal core."
They also could of revealed more of information on Deoxys. Sure learning about Deoxys's cool abilites is nice. But don't we all already know that Deoxys is a killer pokemon? (I do XD) I want to learn about it's origins or what makes this pokemon so legendary...
"It's interesting to me how they combined the anime and games aspects. In the game Deoxys is a space virus mutated by a laser, while in the anime it requires energy from a laser (or another Deoxys or other powerful source) to regenerate from its core"
Not really, look at Deoxys (Purple Gem) he didn't regenerate from a laser. However I do get you're point XD.
"Since you seem to not have read any of the rest of the topic where these things were discussed, I'll list a few major points I've come to believe, most of them not explicitly stated in the movie but certainly indicated."
Umm I stopped reading when most of the posts became: "OMG! This is like the bestest Pokemon Movie ever!" No offense.
Anyways does are just my opinions. I would of been less harsh on the movie if they would done better job with the ending. In fact the only saving grace for the movie in my eyes was Deoxys (Who is one of my favorite pokemon).
Also darker doesn't mean Nudity and Violence, what I meant by that was for the movies to be a bit mature. (Like the first movie) and I don't mean fill the movie with senseless violence (Like the seventh movie). Also I never said I want pokemon to be evil. The movies could be a bit darker even without evil pokemon. The First Movie was a key example of what I mean.
I didn't say I hate the anime. It's just I think that at sometime it has to mature.

Besides the outdoor activities, my other likes would include: Playing pool, chess, cards, drafting, designing, and innovating. And yes people, I like playing video games....when time allows. ;) Hence, why I chose this huge industry to network market in.

About Me
Hmmmmm....About me huh? Ok, to start with, I love the outdoors. Guess you could say I'm a bit of a mountain man and survivalist. Into living my life as green as possible, with this in mind, I have designed my home that will be under development in a year. It's a very unique design, and is totally self sustaining. Have a huge sense of humor, and have no problem laughing at myself, especially if I know it will make others laugh. A bit of a goofball I guess. I also have my serious side when it comes to taking care of business, human and animal rights. A little about my beliefs. I believe all humans, no matter what the color of their skin is, ethnic background, beliefs, worldwide have the ability and responsibility to respect one another as children of the earth we all live on. I don't believe in boarders that separate us worldwide, as we are all one big human family. I believe there will come a day when that will be done away with. So I do my best to focus on just being the best person I can be, and showing respect to everyone I meet. I make relationships based on how they treat others and myself. That pretty much sums up my beliefs and who I am in a nutshell.
My Location: United States

MORANI, Erika da Silva Carvalho et al. Transferrin and albumin polimorphism and its correlation with sexual maturity in bulls. Braz. J. Vet. Res. Anim. Sci. [online]. 1998, vol.35, n.6, pp.00-00. ISSN 1413-9596. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-95961998000600008.
The association between biochemical polymorphic systems and early sexual maturity was assessed subjecting 16 animals (from 17 to 36 months old) to eletrophoretic studies, searching for transferrin and albumin polymorphisms. Two albumin alleles, AlbA (AlbF) and AlbB (AlbS), but only either as AlbB homozigotes or AlbAB heterozigotes were observed. There were no AlbA homozigotes. It was not possible to detect relationships between albumin genotypes and early sexual maturity. Regarding transferrin, it was possible to detect two alleles (TfD and TfE). When trying to establish a relationship between transferrin electrophoretic pattern and the desirable economic trait (early sexual maturity) it is suggested that the TfD allele could be associated with bulls that probably will provide freezable semen at an early age.

France Restores Ban on GMO Maize Crops
France set a temporary new ban on the cultivation of Monsanto's MON810 genetically modified maize on Friday, after a previous moratorium was annulled by the country's top court in November.
France said that it was acting conservatively in advance of spring sowings.
"Because of the approach of sowing, the minister of Agriculture decided today to take a conservative measure to temporarily ban MON810 maize on national land in order to protect the environment," Prime Minister Francois Fillon said in a statement.
Like Us on Facebook
France, by far the EU's largest grain grower, invoked a so-called safeguard clause, reviving a ban put in place in 2008 and overturned by the country's highest court in November on the basis that it was not sufficiently justified.
The government had immediately said it would "examine all ways" to maintain it despite the decision.
The decree banning MON810 was due to be published on Sunday, likely in time to prevent sowings as maize plantings are only starting in France. Farmers also expressed fears of having their fields ransacked by anti-GMO activists like in 2007, the year before the previous ban.
France, which holds a presidential election next month and where public opinion is fiercely opposed to genetically modified organisms (GMO), had asked the European Commission last month to suspend the authorization to sow the maize (corn), the only GMO crop allowed for cultivation in the European Union.
The French government's request to the EU Commission was based on "significant risks for the environment" shown in recent scientific studies, it said.
With maize sowing getting underway in France, anti-GMOs had called on the government to act quickly, concerned that farmers may sow the plants sometimes dubbed as "Frankenstein foods".
An IPSOS poll for a lobby of biotech firms released on Thursday said a majority of French people (52 percent) think genetically modified organisms are risky for human health and showed that 66 percent thought they had limited or non-existent knowledge about the subject.
Global seeds giant Monsanto, which says its GMO maize is perfectly safe, said in January it would not sell MON810 in France in 2012 and beyond.

Need advice on a good boat under 60k
We are looking for a good all around wakeboard/surf/ski boat. We have owned a chaparral for a long time but are wanting to trade. I know a lot about the inboard/outboard boats but not a lot about the wake board boats. We are looking to stay under 60k. We want at least a 22 Ft boat and one that is a good all around boat. I don't want anything fancy but would like to know what boats do best in rough water like lake powell. I've been in my buddies 21 ft 08 malibu and it wasn't too bad but would prefer the 23 foot.
I have been really interested in the MB brand because they are simple and i feel like i am not spending a lot of money on stuff i don't need. Also are the Moomba's/supra's a good boat? I have only been in a 08 malibu, 08 tige, and a newer mb. I felt the interior of the Tige was cheap as it was already tearing and seemed paper thin and the malibu seemed like a good all around boat.
Axis, MB, Tige, Moomba are going to be what you can get under $60k.
What dealers are nearby you?
If you like Malibu, then the Axis might be a good choice. In '13 they got a big vinyl upgrade. They, like the MB, don't have a lot of bells and whistles, but everything you need to have great days on the water.
I have a loaded 08 centurion falcon v for sale for 42k don't think you can find a more loaded boat for less $$ let me know if you want more details
Axis and Malibu are NOT the best choices if you are concerned with rough water performance. Look at boats with a deep V if this is a main concern. MB, and Moomba Mojo comes to mind.
Sanger should be on your list.
If your talking brand new your going to have a tough time in any 22 footer for 60K OTD.
Brands mentioned above may be a starting point.
Tige your looking RZ2 to be 22 feet. No way under 60K
Axis A22 to be 22 feet. Maybe stripped down 60K
Moomba you looking at the Mojo again maybe stripped under 60K
Not sure on the Sanger or MB as they don't sell in my area.
Unfortunately in the new market at 60K you are in the 20 foot range and the cheaper 20 footers at that. I can't think of a 22 you can touch, especially if you are talking Tax title and license out the door.
If rough water ride is important you need to be looking at something with a deep V all the way through and probably want to avoid the Pickle Fork bows and stay with a traditional V.
Just talked with a dealer about a supreme v226 and you might be able to get that down to 60k stripped down. It has the deeper v design and is known to be a good surf boat.
i would say axis a22 2013-14 or Malibu lsv 2010-2012 for that price or close too, also nautique 210 and 230 should be considered,,,,, I think those are all great choices and great boats
Oh, I almost forgot about Centurion. You might be able to get an Avalanche in that price range.
I would think that based on what you are describing that you don't need $60K if you are open to a used boat. Two years ago I bought 08 Xstar for $65K with 170 hours. After buying used I will never buy new again.
Take a look at this video, I linked it to start at a specific time during which hull design and ride comfort is discussed. Since you mentioned ride comfort in chop, I think it's relevant.
This in no way means I'm pushing you towards a mastercraft, just that I don't think the Deep V is THAT much better in chop than a shallower hull.
If you truly want to slalom then you should get a Malibu VTX with surf gate. You'll be over 60 but you will be able to do everything you desire...
Thanks for all the info. I am leaning towards used o get more options. I've heard good things about the centurions and love the looks of the nautiques. this might be a dumb question but does the size of thw boat make better wakes and better ride? Thanks again guys.
Thats a tough question to answer, but typically yes. But it depends on the individual hull.
A bigger boat will throw a bigger wake just by virtue of size, weight and, ultimately, displacement.
If you're going used, at $60k you have A LOT of options.
Supreme v226 is a 22 1/2 ft boat. Deep Vee is good in the chop and should be able to get at 60K new.
At 60k, I would definitely look used. You could probably get an Axis or Moomba new for that price point, but you would get a much nicer boat that is maybe a few years old. At 60k you could definitely get a 23LSV barely used and probably a Nautique 230. But if you are persistant with new, I would take a look at the Moomba Mondo- I got quoted around 50k for one and was very impressed with it in person.
I have my 2011 Axis for Sale if you are interested in a used Axis.
Like others said take a look at the Moomba Mojo and the LSV too.
MB hands down for the win. Here is a link to pictures of our 23wb.
Is it really reasonable to think you can get a b52 23 for 60k? When I looked last September I couldn't even get a left over mb for that price even with it being my first choice.
If it's new, a Moomba mojo or Axis A22.
If it is used Id look at a Malibu 23LSV.
Supreme V226 or V232 should be on your list. Solid boats that have a great surf wake a good wakeboarding wake. Both with a very deep V that will handle chop better than about any inboard. Def should be able to get a V232 in your price range.

Bang for buck they can't be beat!
Seen a few brand new Calabrias for around 48,000
New calabria's......Where?
I thought they went under a few years ago??? Since 09 by looking at their website still online.
they have not updated the site, but I saw a new calabria, with a reverse tower in Colorado. '13 bout 6months ago
I also don't live too far from the factory, and when I drive down the highway, they are open. Seen a few boats out there lately, so who knows.
If it was me it would be 230, lsv, or a22 on my short list for used

Heavyweight Contender Gonzaga Squares Off Against Undefeated CarwinMarch 6, 2009
Serious questions will be answered in the heavyweight division in this Saturday night's Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Shane Carwin match-up at UFC 96 in Columbus, Ohio.
For Gonzaga, a win over the undefeated Carwin could put him in a position to fight for the heavyweight title again. For Carwin, this fight represents the first true test of his career against a bonified heavyweight.
It has been peaks and valleys for Gonzaga since his shocking knockout upset win over Mirko Cro Cop in April 2007. After giving Cro Cop a taste of his own medicine in his UFC debut with a devastating kick to the head, Gonzaga suffered a grueling loss at the hands of the legendary Randy Couture in his challenge for the heavyweight title.
Despite breaking Couture's arm with one of his trademark kicks, Couture simply imposed his will on Gonzaga en route to the third round stoppage. The loss had a reverberating effect on Gonzaga. He was beaten in TKO fashion by Fabricio Werdum for the second time. Gonzaga has since rebounded with a pair of first round wins over Josh Hendricks and Justin McCully improving his MMA record to 10-3.
The 1999 NCAA Division II heavyweight champion Carwin has mauled his cast of MMA opponents so far. He is a perfect 10-0 with all 10 wins coming by way of first round stoppages. A win for Carwin against Gonzaga could put him in line for a heavyweight title shot as well.
Carwin's style is simple yet punishing. Ground-and-pound is the name of the game. As usual the 6'3, 262 pound Carwin will have a size advantage over his opponent on Saturday. Although Carwin has proven that he can finish fighters in the stand-up position with his fists, he'll want to take Gonzaga down to the mat and try to overpower him with his size and strength. Carwin will want to spend a lot of time watching video of the Couture-Gonzaga fight. He'll want to apply the same style that Couture used to limit Gonzaga's strengths.
Gonzaga, who is more versatile, will apply his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu mastery in both stand-up with his crushing kicks or submission techniques on the ground. This versatility and overall ring savvy may be the difference in the fight. However, if Carwin can manage to close down the distance between him and Gonzaga he'll have a legitimate chance to pull out the win.
Gonzaga's submission techniques are a big strength, but he may opt for more stand-up against the powerful Carwin. Gonzaga is the safe pick in this fight, most likely in the form of a late stoppage. But watch out for Carwin regardless. Are there many more heavyweights as big and strong as Carwin in the UFC outside of Brock Lesnar? Not that I've seen. As for Gonzaga, if he defeats Carwin he'll be paying a lot attention to the Lesnar vs. Frank Mir rematch.

Remember when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards? Well she does, and she might be singing a song about it Sunday night at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.
We're hearing that Taylor Swift concocted a little ditty about the dreadful ambush at last year's show. A source, reportedly tight with the awards gala, has claimed Swift will debut the new song at the 2010 VMAs Sunday night, which will be aired live on MTV at 9 pm.
The top secret source is blabbing that the song is on the 20-year-old country star's upcoming album, Speak, and she practiced it Friday at ?a hush hush rehearsal.
Kany?e West has g?arnered a lot of scrutiny for his behavior at last year'??s event and recently took to Twitter to open old wounds?.
The rapper claim??ed he wrote a song for Taylor Swift and would sing it himself if she wouldn't. The frenemies are both slated t?o?? take the ?2010 Video Music Award?s stage, but in separate performances as well as serve as nominees. Wh?i??le this supposed reliable source is reportedly dishing some dirt, I won't believe it till I see it. But I can hope? ??for it.

NHL Lockout: Lack of New CBA Results in More December Game CancellationsDecember 10, 2012
The NHL, as expected, will cancel more regular-season games from the 2012-13 schedule on Monday, according to Darren Dreger of TSN.
Further NHL regular season cancellations today. Thru Dec 30th.— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) December 10, 2012
UPDATE: Monday, December 10 at 2:10 p.m. ET by Timothy Rapp
Sorry, hockey fans, but the NHL has officially cancelled the remainder of December's schedule games. From NHL.com:
The National Hockey League announced today the cancellation of the 2012-13 regular-season schedule through December 30. The cancellations are necessary due to the absence of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL Players' Association and the NHL.
A total of 526 regular-season games—42.8 percent of the season—were scheduled for October 11 through December 30.
Folks, things are looking bleak. If there is a season, I'll be truly surprised.
---End of Update---
Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca also has some bad news to share with hockey fans.
As we await further game cancellations today, thru end of Dec., an exec tells me: "We're not close. We do not trust this group."— Mark Spector Sports (@SportsnetSpec) December 10, 2012
The good news is that talks could start up again this week, according to Tim Panaccio of CSN Philadelphia.
even if NHL kills rest of DEC, the sked was gonna change, anyway. #cba talks should resume this wk at a neutral site— Tim Panaccio (@tpanotchCSN) December 10, 2012
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in his press conference on Thursday (via NHL.com) that a total of 48 games is the lowest the league will go if there is a 2012-13 season. That means a new CBA probably has to be reached by mid-January at the latest to ensure the season starts after a week of training camp and practices.
The loss of more regular-season games only complicates the CBA talks between the owners and players because now there will be even less revenue to split up for the 2012-13 season.
Bettman also said on Thursday that the two sides have not figured out how to transition from the lockout into the season.
NHLers who weren't on teams that made the playoffs last season, and didn't go overseas to play during the lockout, haven't played competitive hockey at a high level since April. That's a long time for a hockey player to not play in any real games.
There are a few possible start dates for the 2012-13 season if the NHL and its players get their act together and work out a new agreement in the next few weeks.
New Year's Eve would be a good date to open the season because many people have this night off and are up late waiting to celebrate the New Year. People could attend games and still spend time with family and friends afterward. New Year's Day is also a logical start date.
The problem for the NHL is that as you get further into January, college football bowl games and NFL playoffs start to dominate the sports landscape.
To step back into the sports calendar in a way that will grab fans' attention (especially casual fans), the NHL needs to end the lockout and start the regular season as soon as possible. Starting the season in the middle of the NFL playoffs would not be ideal.
Monday's cancellations are disappointing, but there is still over a month for the two sides to make a deal. There might be only one more batch of cancellations before the NHL is forced to cancel the entire 2012-13 season.

The TV industry takes the Royal Television Society's Cambridge Convention very seriously. Perhaps because its biggest players turn up. After all, the ITV chief executive, Adam Crozier, the BBC director-general, Mark Thompson, the Channel 4 chief executive, David Abraham, the BSkyB chief operating officer, Mike Darcey, and the Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, are not often seen having a drink alongside TV production staff and journalists in a university bar.
Amid the formal dinners and off-the-record chats, last week's event provided a number of interesting sessions that touched on broad themes while also throwing up a couple of key announcements that could keep delegates busy until it is time to do it all again in 2013.
1. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport spent the days leading up to Hunt's speech giving previews to national newspapers. The actual speech was a distilled version of what was reported but contained lots of interesting points, not least Hunt's suggestion that decisions on mergers such as the News Corporation bid for BSkyB could move to a non-political body.
2. Hunt is now prepared to make jokes at his own expense on the subject of local TV. He also wants to engage the industry in his quest for a new regulatory framework. As the review of TV advertising has shown, the TV industry errs on the side of caution on the subject of reform. This was demonstrated when, later in the conference, delegates voted unanimously against the need for a new Communications Act.
3. The second day opened with an entertaining session chaired by the actor and comedian David Mitchell on "The Opportunities of Converged TV". Despite Mitchell's scepticism (he was surprised to see the surfwear brand Billabong had a connected TV app), the session struck an upbeat note. RTL's chief executive, Gerhard Zeiler, trumpeted the role of broadcasters and channel brands, while YouView, the internet-connected TV service, said that it is testing its consumer boxes ahead of a launch "early" next year.
4. Google continued its charm offensive. Last month, in a conciliatory speech, its executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, told an audience of TV executives in Edinburgh that the "internet is fundamental to the future of TV". In a session on data at Cambridge, Matt Brittin, Google's UK and Ireland managing director, mimicked his boss. Brittin said the two billion people connected to the internet were a "massive opportunity" for the UK TV industry.
5. Abraham confirmed Channel 4's plans to offer demographically targeted ads and new ad formats by the end of this year (as reported in Campaign last week). A range of new ad formats will give advertisers the chance to add microsites and overlays to pre-roll ads and target campaigns to specific demographic groups.
6. Fru Hazlitt, the managing director of commercial and online at ITV, said it was "appalling" that the ad industry has not been more progressive in using the 30-second spot. She cited Argos and Ann Summers as brands that have used traditional TV spots on ITV in new ways and called for the industry to do more.
7. Sir Martin Sorrell, the chief executive of WPP, dismissed worries that the ad market is going to drop off at the end of the year. He said WPP has "seen no sign of people cutting budgets" in 2011. That said, he added a note of caution: "Given what advertisers read in newspapers and see on the screen, they are going to be more nervous."
Sorrell also said the newspaper industry is doomed unless it can find a way of making money through paid-for content, is able to consolidate further and finds some form of subsidy. There was little consolation for the free-to-air TV industry, which Sorrell said is "as narrowly backed as newspapers are". He added that he has "fundamental doubts about the ability to monetise social media".
8. In the final session, Crozier gave measured support for Red Or Black?, saying the high-budget game show's launch audience beat that of The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent. "Of course there are some things you would do differently, but that's all perfectly doable," Crozier insisted.
- Cambridge's main message for commercial partners is that TV broadcasters want to keep your money. They are aware of the threat of the internet and convergence but believe in the power of linear TV and broadcast brands. They are even prepared to fight each other for the data and analytic tools they think will show their worth.
- ITV did away with its big sales beasts in January, and the Argos and Ann Summers deals suggest the collaborative approach is starting to pay off. Hazlitt wants advertisers and agencies to think differently about the 30-second spot. "If they can, then, hey presto, how engaged are you with the consumer?" she said.
- Channel 4 maintains a spot on the channel is worth more than one from its competitors, and is planning to prove it in new ways. Abraham was defiant about the loss of Big Brother and Friends, and promises to bring "strong sticky genres". He said: "Just because we don't rely on one franchise doesn't make us any weaker."
- References to the decline of the Big Brother audience were the only real mention of Channel 5, and Sky's main contributions were on the subjects of platforms and data. Darcey insists other broadcasters could get data from the Sky platform but questioned exactly what information Abraham wants.
- Marketers and executives from agencies were notable by their absence. In fact, Hazlitt was one of the few to discuss the role of advertising. If the broadcasters are serious about working collaboratively with their commercial partners, opening up these discussions to them will be a good start.

How Can Packers Avoid a Repeat of Playoff Loss Against 49ers in Week 1 Showdown?September 2, 2013
Colin Kaepernick's performance in leading the San Francisco 49ers to a 45-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers in last year's NFC's Divisional Round of the playoffs could go down as the breakout game of the budding superstar quarterback's career.
Although Kaepernick was very impressive as the starter for the final seven games of the 49ers' 2012 regular season, some media and fans still believed Alex Smith was the best quarterback for the 49ers going into the playoffs. Kaepernick's record-breaking performance against the Packers silenced the doubters.
On the biggest stage of his career to date, Kaepernick made the national spotlight his personal playground. He set a single-game record (regular season or postseason) for quarterback rushing yards with 181, and accounted for a total of 444 yards and four touchdowns in the game.
The Packers had no answer for Kaepernick's dual-threat, big-play ability. The Packers' offense had a solid performance, accounting for three touchdowns and 352 yards, but the offense simply couldn't keep up with the damage Kaepernick did to their defense.
This Sunday, the Packers open their season with a return to Candlestick Park in San Francisco for a rematch of last year's divisional playoff game. The Packers must play better on all three sides of the ball to reverse the tides for a win Sunday, but it all starts with finding an answer to Kaepernick's dual-threat game.
Contain Kaepernick in the Pocket
Game-planning to defend Kaepernick is a challenge for every opponent the 49ers face. With his ability to make any throw on the field but also escape the pocket and make a big play with his feet, Kaepernick can break open cracks in even the best defensive game plans.
That said, if the Packers are going to avoid the same fate as last year's playoffs, they have to force Kaepernick to beat their defense with his pocket passing.
Allowing a quarterback to run for 181 yards, or even anywhere close to that, stacks the odds of winning in the other team's favor. Of the 18 times a quarterback has run for 110 or more yards in an NFL game (regular season or postseason), that quarterback's team has won the game 16 times, according to Pro Football Reference's player game index.
The Packers need to scheme accordingly to emphasize containing Kaepernick within the pocket. Kaepernick does a terrific job of seeing lanes when they become open, has the acceleration to quickly explode into those holes and the speed to outrun defenders in the open field.
The Packers cannot give Kaepernick those lanes. In order to do so, the Packers' edge defenders must keep the pocket around Kaepernick closed, while defenders at the second level cannot vacate the middle of the field.
What happens when you give away the edge and allow Kaepernick to escape outside the pocket? His 56-yard third-quarter touchdown run from last year's game is just one example.
The scheme enabled then-Packers outside linebacker Erik Walden (circled in yellow) to hold contain on the edge of the defense, but as Kaepernick faked the handoff to running back Frank Gore, Walden got fooled. As a result, Walden turns inside and gets completely turned around, while Kaepernick (circled in red) is able to take off for open field on the right side of the field.
From there, it all goes back to Kaepernick's speed. When you give a player with sprinter speed like Kaepernick an open lane to the end zone, he can make you pay.
Walden isn't on the Packers anymore, but it is important for the Packers to stress the importance of containing Kaepernick to all of their outside linebackers. Kaepernick has his most success running to the right side of the field, so it is especially important for whoever is lined up on that side of the field—likely to be Nick Perry most often in place of Walden—to do his job properly.
It is equally important to have players in position in the middle of the field to stop Kaepernick from cutting straight upfield for a big gain on the ground.
In the divisional playoff game, the Packers gave Kaepernick the middle of the field far too often. Kaepernick made the defense pay on numerous occasions, including on his 20-yard first-quarter touchdown run.
This play happened because of poor schematics by the Packers defense. The Packers put five players on the line of the scrimmage, but no nose tackle over the center and no linebackers in the middle of the field.
Kaepernick needed some protection from his offensive line, but once he got that for a couple seconds, the left side of the pocket opened up. This gave Kaepernick a wide-open field in front of him, and he once again used his speed to make it all the way to the end zone.
Against Kaepernick, a defense cannot afford to commit all of its players to playing the pass. Instead of having five pass-rushers and six defensive backs on the field as the Packers did on the play above, they should replace at least one of those players with a linebacker to patrol the second level as a quarterback "spy."
At times, the Packers did this effectively. In the following third-quarter example, the Packers used both of their inside linebackers in their base defense, A.J. Hawk and Brad Jones, as spies in the middle of the field. The linebackers successfully took away the option to run up the middle while the pocket converged upon Kaepernick to hit him as he threw and forced an incompletion.
It's not just about where the personnel lines up at the start of the play, however, but what each player's assignment is on the play.
In the following example, the Packers used a similar alignment at the start of the play, with Clay Matthews at inside linebacker next to Jones. But instead of using Matthews and/or Jones as spies, they brought Matthews on a stunt blitz and Jones on a straight blitz.
Selling out to an aggressive blitz may make plays against a stagnant pocket passer, but it doesn't work well against Kaepernick and his top-notch offensive line. In this case, both Jones and Matthews paid for their blitzes by getting cleared out of the lane by blockers, leaving a wide-open path for Kaepernick to run for 18 yards.
Eliminating the running threat of Kaepernick must truly be a team effort for the Packers on Sunday. The edge rushers must be able to contain Kaepernick in the pocket, the inside linebackers must be disciplined and in position and the secondary must be prepared to become run defenders if Kaepernick breaks through the defensive front.
Containing Kaepernick isn't just important to keeping his rushing yards down. The Packers also want to make Kaepernick throw the ball from the pocket rather than on the run.
Kaepernick has shown that he can stand in against pressure in the pocket and deliver big downfield strikes, including on a number of occasions against the Packers last year. Still, the job becomes much tougher for coverage linebackers and defensive backs once Kaepernick is on the move, as it forces every defender on the field to prepare for both passing or running from the quarterback.
Kaepernick is a very good thrower on the run, and can often take advantage of defensive confusion by making passing plays on the run. He did that early in last year's contest, hitting running back Frank Gore going up the left sideline on a pass that ended up going for a 45-yard gain.
The Packers were able to bring pressure on Kaepernick in the pocket, but they left a lane up the left middle for him to scramble free. He was able to use his quick feet to scramble away from the edge defender on the left side, all the while keeping his eyes upfield to find Gore, who beat Packers cornerback Charles Woodson out to the sideline then upfield to get open for the catch.
Match Up Properly With Running Backs, Tight Ends
The first step for the Packers' defense is keeping Kaepernick in the pocket. If they can do that, the next step is taking away his key weapons.
The Packers catch a significant break this season in that they will not have to go up against Michael Crabtree, who is on the Physically Unable to Perform list with a torn Achilles tendon. Crabtree played a huge role in the Packers' defeat last season, catching nine passes for 119 yards including two for touchdowns.
On numerous occasions in last year's game, Kaepernick was able to connect with Crabtree on deep strikes from the pocket, with Kaepernick making a tough placement against coverage and Crabtree getting to the ball with his route-running and quickness. With his No. 1 receiver out of the lineup, Kaepernick may have to force the ball to his wide receivers more than he did last year.
The 49ers will go into their first game with only one wide receiver, Kyle Williams, who has caught a pass from Kaepernick in a meaningful game. While he should be able to make plays right away with new additions Anquan Boldin and Quinton Patton, the Packers should make him prove it.
In order to do so, the Packers need to take away Kaepernick's running back and tight end options in the passing game. In last year's game, the two biggest passing plays of the game were the above 45-yard completion to Gore and a 44-yard deep strike up the seam to tight end Vernon Davis.
The completion to Davis was another result of Kaepernick exposing a schematic flaw in the Packers defense. Davis was able to run up the seam inside of Packers cornerback Tramon Williams, leaving Williams at a bad angle to get in on the play. Davis ended up in a one-on-one with Hawk, who tried unsuccessfully to keep up with the faster tight end downfield.
That was Davis' only catch of last year's game, but with Crabtree out of the equation, expect Kaepernick to look Davis' way more frequently this year.
If the Packers are going to use man coverage like they did in last year's game, it is important to consistently get desired matchups with Davis. Given Davis' athleticism, it is imperative to get a safety matched up with Davis on each play who can run with Davis downfield.
The Packers should apply that same practice to rookie tight end Vance McDonald, an athletic playmaker who could quickly become another go-to target for Kaepernick. They should also beware of the 49ers' running backs as receiving options, especially Gore and LaMichael James, and assign linebackers to cover them and take away those options.
Against many modern offenses, NFL defenses tend to dial up heavy pressure in the front and load up on defensive backs in the back of the defense, often leaving openings in the middle and at the second level. Against Kaepernick, the Packers would be smarter to stick to defensive roots.
The Packers should take their chances with giving the 49ers receivers, including Boldin, single coverages. This allows the Packers to use up to four pass-rushers, a linebacker spy and a deep safety on each play, while matching up a linebacker with each running back and a defensive back with each tight end.
Bakhtiari, Blockers at Their Best
The focus of what the Packers must do better falls upon their defense because of Kaepernick's success in last year's game, but one should not forget that the 49ers are also arguably the NFL's best defense. They are going to test the Packers' offense in every way, especially on their offensive line.
The Packers' already-shaky offensive line became a major area of concern when left tackle Bryan Bulaga suffered a season-ending torn ACL. The Packers will need their offensive line, especially rookie Bulaga replacement David Bakhtiari, to be at their best against one of the NFL's elite defensive fronts.
Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks make up arguably the NFL's best outside linebacker duo, and they are likely to give Bakhtiari and right tackle Marshall Newhouse some trouble in this game. Inside, the Packers need guards Josh Sitton and T.J. Lang to be at their best against talented inside pass-rushing linemen Justin Smith and Ray McDonald.
The Packers' offensive line actually had a good day in last season's playoff loss, allowing just one sack for the entire game. That said, the Packers offensive line is one that gave up 51 sacks last regular season and has not improved tangibly in terms of personnel.
The Packers need their entire offensive line, but especially their rookie left tackle, to step up their game and play well against a 49ers defense that can wreak havoc at its best.
Establish The Ground Game
Another key to success on Sunday will be the Packers' ability to establish a running game that was inconsistent even at its best last season.
The Packers actually had a solid day running the ball against the 49ers' typically dominant run defense, gaining 6.5 yards per carry in the divisional round loss. That said, they only carried the ball 16 times in the game, and the only running back to take carries in that game, DuJuan Harris, is out for the season this year.
The Packers have a superstar quarterback in Aaron Rodgers (more to come), but against a defense that ranked third in yards allowed per game and second in points allowed per game last season, their offense needs to be multi-faceted.
The Packers will be relying on at least one of their three running backs, but specifically rookie Eddie Lacy, to step up and force the 49ers to take the Packers' running threat seriously.
NFL's Best Quarterback
ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Ron Jaworski certainly drummed up attention when he commented that Kaepernick could be "one of the greatest quarterbacks ever," (h/t Sports Illustrated) but even Jaworski ranks Rodgers as the No. 1 quarterback in the NFL.
An elite quarterback like Rodgers always gives his team the chance to win any game. While Rodgers is not the running threat that Kaepernick is, he is the most consistent passer in the league. His ability to orchestrate drives typically works even against defenses as strong as the 49ers' unit, while he has the arm strength and movement skills to turn any play into a big play.
If the Packers are going to win this game, they need Rodgers to play up to his billing as the NFL's best quarterback (and up to his five-year, $110 million contract extension too).
Rodgers played a solid game against the 49ers last season, completing two out of every three passes (26 of 39) for 257 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Still, the Packers never expect Rodgers to be the second-best quarterback on the field, which he was thanks to Kaepernick's performance in that game.
The Packers should look to establish a ground game to open up passing lanes for Rodgers, but if this game comes down to the wire, it will be up to Rodgers to make the big plays as a passer to help his team win the game.
Avoid Mistakes
When playing a team as talented on both sides of the ball as the 49ers, one cannot afford to make crippling mistakes such as turnovers. Avoiding those mistakes could play a key role in whether the Packers can get the season off on the right foot with a victory.
One area where the Packers especially want to avoid mistakes is on special teams, where a mistake became one of the game's turning points in last year's loss.
The Packers had a 14-7 lead and had forced their second consecutive punt when Jeremy Ross muffed a punt at the 9-yard line, giving the 49ers the chance to recover the ball in prime position. From there, the 49ers scored in just three plays, tied the game and never again trailed in the contest.
Turnovers and mistakes, however, could cost the Packers the game on any side of the ball. Interceptions and fumbles could cost the Packers on offense, while the defense must avoid missed assignments and blown coverages to prevent the aforementioned Kaepernick from duplicating his playoff debut performance.

Lawmaker gathers ammunition to fight for kids
Published 8:55 pm, Thursday, December 18, 2014
Children at the learning center at the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich had a surprise visitor yesterday -- a man in a blue suit surrounded by an entourage. He spoke to the youngsters:
"I go down to Washington every week, and I work with President Obama to make the country a better place, to try to get money for schools and for clubs like the Boys & Girls Club," U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy told them. "Then I come back to Connecticut to learn about the great things that are happening here, so I can go down to Washington and talk about all the things that you're doing, so I can get them to help us."
To that end, the first-term Democrat visited the club, as well as two other Greenwich nonprofits, Family Centers and Kids in Crisis, the same day. During meetings with officials from those organizations, Murphy told them that he plans to push for more funding for them on Capitol Hill.
"Could you do more, if you had more?" Murphy asked Bobby Walker Jr., the Boys & Girls Club's chief executive officer. "Are there kids you are turning away, or are you basically meeting the need?"
"I think if we had more, we'd be doing more," Walker responded. "You can always add different kinds of programs ... I don't think we're content with what we're doing. We're always trying to see how we can service more kids and more of their needs. That's my ultimate goal."
Almost entirely privately funded, the club serves about 2,000 members. Yet modest public funding still matters. This year, the club has a $5,000 Community Development Block Grant from the town for after-school programming, an allocation that is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. But it has missed out on funding for next year, after the town's Community Development Advisory Committee did not recommend its $10,000 request.
The club will try to make up the difference through private funding, but club officials hope to see the return of CDBG funding.
"It continues to help us to better our after-school programming," Walker said about the grant. "As much as you dream big, unfortunately, it all costs money. Right now, we have a lot of great volunteers, but there are times when you have to spend money to get the results we hope to get."
Greenwich's community development grants have dropped to an anticipated total of $700,000 for 2015, down from $735,000 for 2014. In comparison, block grant funding reached a high of $1.2 million in 2004.
In Washington, budget hawks have targeted the $3 billion program in recent years, cutting more than $1 billion since 2010. In contrast, Murphy, a first-term Democrat, has advocated for more CDBG funding and said he will "fight a little bit harder" in the upcoming Congressional session.
"Facilities like the Boys & Girls Club shouldn't just be a private enterprise," Murphy added. "The public sector should understand the benefits that are provided to the school system and community by a resource like this. That's why I think there should be more public support for organizations like the Boys & Girls Club."
For some of his youngest constituents, though, Murphy dispensed with the fiscal talk and offered up a straightforward message.
"You're not old enough to vote for me ... but I still am in charge of doing what you think I should be doing in Washington," he told scores of club members in the gym. "If you ever want to write me a letter or write me an email and tell me something that I should be fixing here in Greenwich, or in the state, or all over the world, you can always do that."
