On the heels of last week's Twitter IPO filing, a New York Times article took aim at the social media company's male-dominated leadership, sparking a debate over gender bias in the tech industry.
Continue Reading Below
Vivek Wadhwa, an outspoken Stanford fellow who is writing a book on women in technology, said, "This is the elite arrogance of the Silicon Valley mafia, the Twitter mafia. It's the same male chauvinistic thinking. The fact that they went to the IPO without a single woman on the board, how dare they?"
In a follow-up TechCrunch article, Wadhwa continued to blast Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, not least of which for calling him "the Carrot Top of academic sources" on Twitter:
"Costolo isn't alone in the way he responds to criticism about sexism. Here is the harsh reality: Silicon Valley is a boys' club — a fraternity of the worst kind. It stacks the deck against women. It leaves out blacks and Hispanics. And it provides unfair advantage to an elite few who happen to be connected.
"What Twitter should have done in preparation for being a public company is to have it resemble the people they are going to be taking a billion dollars from — the people who are going to be making its executives and investors rich. This includes women as well as men, and blacks as well as whites."
Wadhwa's tirade is so wrong on so many levels I can see why Costolo responded by calling attention to the academic's "propensity for silly hyperbole," as he later tweeted.
Having spent several decades in the high-tech industry, primarily in Silicon Valley, let me shed a little unbiased light on the gender-bias allegations and what, if anything, Twitter and other companies should and shouldn't be doing differently.
First of all, the tech industry – in Silicon Valley and elsewhere – is predominantly male. And the executive management teams and boards of tech companies do resemble boys clubs. Those are undisputable facts.
But is that the result of gender bias or discrimination? Hardly.
Don't get me wrong. I've seen gender bias in the technology industry. I've seen it quite extensively among males from certain Asian and Middle Eastern cultures, although I'm sure it's politically incorrect to say that. I've also seen it among white males, but that was long ago and mostly by older executives who have since retired, and thankfully so.
Ironically, you could make a much better case for age discrimination in the tech industry, especially among newish internet companies. According to PayScale, the median age at Facebook and Google are 28 and 29, respectively. The average age of American workers is 42.3. I don't know what the median age is at Twitter, but I'd be really surprised if it's over 30.
But I digress.
So why are there so many fewer women than men in the technology industry, as all the data show? The truth is you find plenty of women in marketing, communications, HR, finance, and legal functions. But women tend to shy away from technical fields like software and hardware engineering – the bread and butter of high-tech.
The root causes of that are open to debate. Only one thing is certain: nobody in the corporate world is stopping them, least of all Costolo and Twitter. In other words, it's a supply-side problem. There's certainly no shortage of demand.
And, of the six executive officers named in Twitter's S-1 filing, one of them, General Counsel Vijaya Gadde, is in fact a woman. If my math is correct, that's a tad bit higher than the national average of 15%. And Twitter actually has at least four other women vice presidents, which the Times article does point out – way down in paragraph 11.
I also couldn't help but notice that two of Twitter's male executive officers, COO Ali Rowghani and CFO Mike Gupta, are of Middle Eastern and Indian decent. It seems ridiculous to have to point that out, but you've got to admit, this hardly looks like a company that's thrown diversity to the wolves.
Which brings us to the point that many seem to be up in arms about: the composition of Twitter's board of directors. Of the seven, three are company founders, one is from Benchmark Capital (a Twitter investor), one is a former CFO (a requisite since Sarbanes Oxley), and the other two are former top executives of Google and News Corp.
In other words, they all look to be excellent choices. And with just three discretionary directors, you can hardly build a discrimination case on one of them not being female. Besides, Costolo has reportedly been searching high and low for a woman to put on the board, to no avail. Again, it's a supply problem.
As for the article's assertion that Twitter's investors were "all men," I'm not sure I follow. Of the five 5% stockholders named in the company's S-1 filing, only one is an individual, Rizvi Traverse. The other four are venture capital firms. Granted, they're probably all male-dominated companies, but when it comes to raising capital, I seriously doubt if anyone cares whether a man or a woman writes the check.
Finally, there's Wadhwa's suggestion that, before filing to go public, Twitter should have ensured that it resembles those who will be buying its shares in the stock market. Not to be facetious, but considering that the vast majority of Twitter's stock will be held by institutional investors – big banks and mutual funds – I'd say the company's already done that. I can't think of a bigger bastion of good-old white boys than Wall Street.
Okay, okay, I know what he meant. So now CEOs are supposed to restructure their management teams and boards around the demographics of their stakeholders. Wow, why didn't I think of that? And people wonder why I have such little respect for corporate governance experts in academia.
Carrot Top indeed.

Richard D. Moore et al. Clinical Infectious Diseases 2012;55(9):1242-51. Read the abstract.
Disparities in health outcomes are pervasive in the U.S., with some in our big pot melting better than others. Racial and ethnic minorities, and those living close to or in poverty, typically get burned. When it comes to HIV care, there have been data pointing to significant disparities, including racial differences, in the rates at which antiretroviral therapy (ART) is prescribed, viral suppression is achieved and mortality is averted.
In an important and provocative paper from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, differences in HIV outcomes, including receipt of combination ART, HIV RNA levels, CD4+ cell counts, opportunistic infections and mortality, were examined and stratified by HIV risk group, sex and race. At their Baltimore, Md.-based clinic, 6,366 patients were followed from 1995 to 2010; about two thirds were men, three quarters were African American, 45% were injection drug users (IDU), 30% were men who have sex with men (MSM) and 60% had either Medicaid or private insurance.
Over the course of the period studied, there was an increasing trend for receipt of ART across all demographic and behavioral risk groups, with uptake occurring earlier and more briskly among MSM, all men and white patients. However, by 2010, 87% of the clinic cohort was prescribed ART, and there was no significant difference (after multivariable adjustment) seen in receipt of ART among the groups.
Looking at HIV RNA levels, by 2010 the median viral load was less than 200 copies/mL for all demographic and risk groups. In multivariate analysis, the log10 HIV RNA level was slightly but significantly higher -- by 0.28 log in the IDU group compared to the MSM group in 2010 (P < .001), although there was no significant difference between the MSM and heterosexual groups. The log10 HIV RNA level was also 0.24 log higher in blacks compared to whites in 2010 (P < .001). There was no difference by sex.
Similarly, median CD4+ cell counts were high, at almost 500 cells/mm3 by 2010. Slightly lower counts were seen among IDU compared to MSM, as well as among men compared to women. Opportunistic infections became virtually extinct by 1998 and there were no differences between groups seen in more recent years.
Lastly, there was no significant difference in mortality among the groups. Life expectancy computed for the entire sample found that, for a 28-year-old HIV-infected patient in their care in 2009, remaining life expectancy was calculated to be 45.4 years (95% confidence interval, 39.6-51.3 years). That is, a 28-year-old patient -- regardless of race, gender or risk category -- could be expected to live to 73 years of age.
Other studies have detected differences that were not seen in the analyses of this cohort; however, the Hopkins study includes more current data. There was a striking "catch-up" effect among minorities, women and IDU over time: By 2010, the benefits of ART and advances in care appeared to be universal regardless of race, gender and risk category.
These results fly in the face of overall health disparity trends in the U.S., wherein African Americans and those with lower socioeconomic status have higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Although HIV disproportionately affects those same populations that are at risk for worse outcomes and could be expected to compound these disparities, this study finds the opposite.
So, why do populations vulnerable to disparities in health care outcomes fare better when it comes to HIV care? Two words: big government. While that term may often find itself slung like an insult in a political scrap, in the case of HIV, it is public funding through the Ryan White Care Act that provides the primary care, supportive care and medication assistance that are critical to achieving the very outcomes studied by the Hopkins investigators.
HIV is a complex and expensive disease to manage, yet the results coming from Baltimore are mirrored in clinics across the nation precisely because we have a national safety net that sets up those with HIV for success rather than failure.
While the investigators stress their finding of little to no difference in HIV outcomes across populations, what they also discovered is how different HIV is from other serious conditions in achieving this degree of parity. This lesson should be Exhibit A when the Ryan White Care Act comes up for reauthorization, and as we look to ways in which the Affordable Care Act will be implemented.
Ank E. Nijhawan et al. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 2012;61:349-358. Read the abstract.
It is sad that the house staff at my hospital -- those who admit patients with HIV infection -- see a side of the disease that is completely warped compared to the reality of widespread suppression of HIV RNA levels, boosted CD4+ cell counts and jolly, round faces that characterize my clinic population. While these interns and residents have heard of the fruits of advances in HIV care, they might as well be in a third-world nation as they take histories from patients gasping with Pneumocystis pneumonia or battling an aggressive lymphoma.
Few medical residents spend time in our outpatient clinics, and thus they experience HIV through the lens of "difficult cases" -- the non-adherent, the out-of-care and the very unlucky. It is no wonder that few young physicians are gunning to become HIV docs.
Further disheartening to these clinicians are the "frequent flyers": patients who are admitted, treated and released, but "bounce back" soon after discharge with the same -- or a new -- set of problems and issues.
To get a better sense for which patients with HIV infection tend to return after a hospital stay, a team from the Dallas Parkland Hospital system examined hospital records of HIV-infected inpatients from 2005 to 2008 in an attempt to develop a predictive model of 30-day risk of readmission or death.
Looking at 1,500 cases (three quarters African American, 16% Latino, 60% male, less than half with outpatient medical insurance), one quarter were readmitted. We should let that settle in: One in four patients with HIV in this medical system were readmitted within 30 days of discharge. Dallas, we have a problem.
Delving into the details, a range of clinical factors were associated with risk of readmission, including AIDS-defining illness, CD4+ cell count less than 92 cells/mm3 within 12 weeks of the first admission, creatinine greater than 1.77 mg/dL, HCO3 less than 19 mmol/L, ALT or AST greater than 35 U/L, HCT less than 28.4 or greater than 48.8%, anion gap greater than 12 mmol/L, and an ALC less than 0.34x109/L (probably reflecting low CD4+ cell count).
In addition, and tellingly, patients were more likely to be readmitted within 30 days of release if they were homeless, lived more than a dozen or so miles from the hospital, were insured by Medicaid (i.e., were disadvantaged or sick enough to qualify) or had higher rates of utilization of inpatient and emergency department services.
Three percent (74 patients) of those examined were known to have died within 30 days of hospital discharge. Factors associated with mortality were basically the same laboratory abnormalities I listed above, including immunosuppression.
This study is interesting in that the elements included in its models for readmission are readily available to clinicians. Recognizing these red flags for readmission during hospitalization should prompt discharge planning that addresses this risk. Careful coordination of post-release services -- including immediate, community-based medical care appointments and check-ins by care coordinators -- could go a long way toward reducing bounce backs. Of course, not releasing patients until they are really ready to be discharged, while difficult, will also help.

Washington state lawsuit accuses 13 of Boy Scouts abuses from 1960s to 1990s
SEATTLE – A dozen men are filing a broad new lawsuit against the Boy Scouts and some of its former adult leaders, saying that abuse occurred regularly in Washington state sites.
The case filed Thursday accuses 13 different people of abuse. They include a scoutmaster accused of repeatedly abusing two boys, a camp cook accused of raping a boy, and a business manager accused of abusing a boy in a tent.
Attorneys say the case shows that the Scouts and its affiliated organizations demonstrated negligence in failing to protect scouts. The Washington state cases focus particularly on problems at Camp Brinkley, a popular destination about an hour outside of Seattle.
A spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America declined comment but says the organization deeply regrets that there have been times when Scouts were abused.

Here is the back:
Here is a close up of the knitting. I don't know enough about knitting to tell you what kind of knitting pattern this is:
And here is the front with the buttons I picked out from my local yarn shop:
I got the pattern and the buttons (and decision to use this yarn) from The Yarn Lounge here in Carytown. Melanie who runs The Yarn Lounge was amazingly helpful to me in choosing everything, given that I know absolutely nothing about knitting. She took my photo wearing the sweater and put it up on her blog here. I want to thank her very much. Also, she seemed very interested in the fact that I made my own skirt. Even though she doesn't sew, I sense a sewing convert in the making! I urge everyone who loves to knit to check out this shop.
While at the shop last week on a visit from Boston, Eileen bought even more yarn, in a really yummy red. She wants to make this sweater for me again. She is not well. She isn't happy with this one because now that she has made it, she knows everything that she would do differently. I don't see anything wrong with this wonderful cobalt blue sweater, but like the rest of us, she only sees the small (very small) imperfections in what she makes. But I love it. And if she wants to make me another sweater for next year, who am I to argue? Plus, I have a feeling I'll be piecing another quilt for her at some point. (It's that learning by doing thing . . .)
Parting Shot: Photo of me and Miss Eileen while I am wearing the sweater. Thank you, Eileen! I love it!

Day First Race Last Race Races
Thursday, June 28 Cancelled (originally 12:45 p.m.) Cancelled (originally 4:54 p.m.) Cancelled (9 races)
Friday, June 29 6:30 p.m. (originally 2:45 p.m.) 11:30 p.m. (originally 7:54 p.m.) 11 races
Saturday, June 30 6:30 p.m. (originally 6 p.m.) 11:40 p.m. (originally 6 p.m.) 11 races
Sunday, July 1 6:30 p.m. (originally 12:45 p.m.) 11:00 p.m. (originally 5:20 p.m.) 10 races
Track officials made the decision to adjust its closing weekend schedule following a meeting with National Weather Service forecasters on Wednesday afternoon.
"Given the record-setting heat expected throughout the closing weekend of our Spring Meet, we hope the shift of our Friday 'Twilight Racing' program and Sunday's closing day racing program to nighttime programs is a solution that, given the forecast for extreme heat, is one that works for our horsemen and our racing fans," said Churchill Downs Racetrack President Kevin Flanery. "The installation of our permanent lights three years ago has allowed the flexibility to adapt to the extreme heat and develop a schedule that eases our most serious concerns about the safety of our equine and human athletes, meets the needs of our horsemen by preserving races scheduled for the meet's final three days, and provides fans who wish to enjoy Churchill Downs racing – either on-track, online or at satellite wagering centers –the opportunity to do so.
"We regret that we will not be able to make up the races lost through the cancellation of Thursday's racing during the final days of the Spring Meet, but our weather scenario deteriorated rapidly early in the week and we had to make a swift decision on the status of Thursday's racing. Our team had a bit more time to focus on the meet's final three days and we consulted with the National Weather Service to determine, as closely as possible, the hour-by-hour temperature scenario for the weekend. We will continue to take every possible precaution to guard against heat-related health issues over those three days, but we believe the night racing programs on Friday and Sunday will ease the threat of weather-related issues."
The cancellation of races at Churchill Downs is extremely rare. Thursday's cancellation was only the 18th documented weather-related cancellation in track history and the first related to extreme heat.

1994 Ford Taurus SHO starting issue
Greetings folks,
I have not been on here in a while but thought I would give this site a try for a current issue that I am having.....
I have a 1994 SHO with the automatic (ATX) and past couple of times I have driven it, I have noticed that the starter has dragged just like the battery is starting to go and lose is cranking amperage. I have just recently replaced the alternator and I have checked that and it is working fine. Yesterday, I went over to my storage garage where I keep the SHO, and went to crank it, and even though she stays on a trickle charger, the starter engaged but did not have enough power to turn it over quick enough to start it, but it tried and then I got the clicking noise which I assumed was either the relay, or the solenoid. I own 9 cars and I am very mechanical, so this screamed battery issues to me especially considering the fact it has been dragging the last couple times driven. I checked the battery cable connections and they were tight and clean appearing. I then attempted to jump the car from a jump box yielding only a click. I then tried using the battery in my Durango 5.9 R/T to no avail either. I thought this was a little odd, so I took the battery to the local NAPA and it tested bad. I replaced it with a new one only to find the same click.
At this point, I have jumped the cars from 3-4 other vehicles of mine, I have jumped the car from the cables with no battery hooked up to another known good battery and it will not do anything else but click. My assumptions at this point are that either my battery cables are bad and I have a bad connection somewhere (they have never been replaced). I have a bad relay somewhere that is not functioning or the starter/solenoid is gone.
The car is stuck in my shop and not my house garage which means working on this is going to mean transporting all of my tools to another location from home. I am looking for some troubleshooting guidance as in what to check before going to the effort of ripping the starter out which does NOT look easy. It is wedged between the front lower subframe and the engine and getting to it looks like an act of Houdini.
Is there a relay on this car somewhere? When I turn the key, I hear NOTHING at the starter. I hear a relay trip when I turn it to start. I have full power to all over electrical controls on the car. headlights, brake lights, interior, you name it. I fiddled with everything battery I could think of and to NO avail.
Is there anyone out there that knows these SHO's really well and what components of the starting system are prone to issues? I believe that this is the original starter in the car. I am wondering if all the years of oil from the oil filter changes running down on the solenoid have done it in. Any guidance on what simple things to check first specific to this car would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks guys!!

1993 Ford Taurus SHO
Hi, I am sorry you did not receive a timely reply but I stumbled across this while searching for answers to the problem with our SHO. It would run fine when cold then once it warmed, say a run to the store, it would not start for about 20 minutes. Following all kinds of advice we replaced, 1st: the ignition module, 2nd: the fuel pump, 3rd: the FUEL INJECTION IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE (we really thought this fixed it because it ran well for a couple days before it started acting up again) It then completely died and though the engine cranks it doesn't turn over, 4th: the CCRM constant control relay module. Still nothing. I suspect it's the starter, my husband has have to replace it twice since we own it but he really doesn't think it's the starter this time....and as you point out it is a real hassel to reach it. Anyways, I was hoping you had some advice and maybe we can converse about other SHO issues in the future. Thank you!

From The Files Of March 18, 1999
Marvin DeShong was named Fireman of the Year at the annual Hustontown Fire Co. banquet last Saturday evening. DeShong has held numerous positions throughout the organization after joining the company only one year after the company was established in 1965.

"Do I need
membership this year?"
In this economy, it's natural to question whether your dues
investment in the American Sports Builders Association is
worthwhile. After all, you're a conscientious consumer and a
business manager – you want to know what you're getting in
return for your membership. So here are a few things you should
know before you hit that "Pay" button and make a great
ASBA puts on some serious meetings. Our 2016 Technical
Meeting, held in Amelia Island, FL was filled with the
latest industry information, a trade show and a wealth of
contacts and speakers. Our 2017 Winter Meeting in Mexico allowed members to work on industry publications and make
progress with our committees and divisions.
The association has six membership divisions: Tennis,
Track, Fields, Courts & Recreation, Professional and Supplier. Whatever
the needs of your business, ASBA is working to help you
accomplish them.
ASBA's website – on which all members may be accessed –
generates millions of hits. If you Google 'tennis court
builder,' ASBA comes up first, sports field builder first,
running track construction fifth and indoor sports facility
builder eighth.
Trade publications
continue to seek out ASBA to provide articles on technical
topics of industry interest, and to provide information to help
consumers address questions and problems with their facilities.
Each article uses quotes from members of the Association (and if
you as a member would like to be interviewed for publications,
we encourage you to contact us). The articles also advise
consumers to contact ASBA for copies of its directory and
publications order form. And the interest we're getting in
return from the public shows us that these articles are working.
ASBA continues to strengthen its ties with related
ASBA continues to have strong representation at meetings of
organizations including the USTA, STMA, STC, NCAA, NFHS, ITF,
USA Track and Field, PTR and USPTA, to name just a few.
Our awards program is bigger than ever
ASBA offers an awards program that recognizes excellence in
sports facility design and construction. Currently, the awards
program has categories for:
Tennis Courts
Courts & Recreation
Courts & Recreation Multi-Purpose Field House
Courts & Recreation Multi-Purpose Gymnasium
Courts & Recreation Multi-Purpose Fitness & Wellness
Sports Fields
Single Field
Multi Field
Track & Field
ASBA's special "Green Award" recognizes eco-friendly
design and construction. Last year's awards program saw an
all-time high number of entrants, and the winning facilities are
receiving national publicity in trade magazines. ASBA is also
helping its members work to achieve publicity on a local level
through use of its "P.R. Toolbox" available on the members-only
section of the website. A special glossy brochure is also
published each year, showcasing award winners.
We keep ASBA -- and you -- in the public eye
ASBA is raising its public profile by running advertisements in
print media to call attention to the importance of
experienced sports facility design and construction
professionals. In this economy, it is essential to get the word
out that a well-built facility will last longer and is a better
investment than one built by someone without sports-specific
Benefits members can use
ASBA continues to offer member benefits including:
Four issues of Newsline every year
Technical publications
Position papers
Private, members-only section of the website
Free 'P.R. toolbox' with press materials members can customize
to promote their organization throughout the year
on upcoming projects
Ability to provide links to our
website (which in turn benefits members since it increases the
number of hits members can get)
ASBA logos
Volunteer opportunities to serve
on committees and special interest groups
much, much more!
So what can ASBA do for you? Quite a bit! And with you as our
member, we'll be doing quite a bit more this year. Make your
dues investment and then ask whether
this is the year you want to become more involved in the
industry. Join a committee. Volunteer for a project. Offer to
give quotes for articles we write for industry publications.
It's your investment and it will yield better returns than you
ever imagined.

United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group
SEAL Team SIX, is the U.S. Navy's main counterterrorist unit, where operatives are drawn from the current SEAL ranks. The unit was created as part of the Joint Special Operations Command in 1980. The origin of SIX can be traced to the aftermath of the failed 1980 attempt to rescue American hostages at the Iranian Embassy (Operation Eagle Claw). Prior to this, the existing SEAL teams had already begun CT training, including all 12 platoons in SEAL Team One on the West Coast. On the East Coast, however, elements of the SEAL Team Two had taken the issue one step farther. They formed a dedicated two-platoon group known as "MOB Six" (Mobility Six) in anticipation of a maritime scenario requiring a CT response and had begun training to that end.
Six was formally created in October 1980, and an accelerated training program made the unit mission-ready just six months later. At the time, only two SEAL Teams were in existence; popular knowledge backed up by actual SEAL claims say that the name was chosen to confuse Soviet intelligence as to the number of SEAL Teams in operation. It became officially operational in 1981.
In 1987, the unit was given the official title of 'Naval Special Warfare Development Group' (NAVSPECWARDEVGRU, or simply DEVGRU). Reasons for the name change are varied, ranging from operational security, the team's reputation, all the way down to charges leveled at Six founder and now-public figure Richard Marcinko. Whatever the truth behind these, the name "SEAL Team Six" is no longer in use, although most military servicemen and many civilians still recognize them as SEAL Team Six.
DEVGRU's mission is to provide intelligence and counter-terrorism services for the Dept of the Navy and the overall U.S. Special Operations Command, in addition to providing management for the development and testing of technologies under consideration for use by Naval Special Warfare forces such as SEALs. By these aformentioned responsibilities, it is obvious to say here that ST6 is the Maritime (Naval) equivalent of the Army's elite Delta Force. In fact, both units train together from time to time as well as deploy together when the need arrises. The unit is currently based out of Dam Neck, Virginia and administrative control is under Naval Special Warfare Command.
An executive order by President Clinton added DEVGRU to those units excepted from the contents of Title 5, Section 7103 of the US Code.
"...In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nation's call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside - America's finest special operations forces to serve his country, the American people, and protect their way of life. I am that man.
My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I am sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It a privilege that I must earn every day.
My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, not seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazard of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own.
I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control me emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstances, sets me apart from other man. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond. We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations.
I will never quit. I preserve and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.
We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me - my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.
We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend.
Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail."

This spot is very fickle but when it's on, it is just like Padang Padang or Uluwatu. Not a drop of water out of place and the best waves you'll ever surf. It's not a very hollow wave but it is long and perfect. When it gets over 6 or 8 ft. it has a very long right. It's usually a left though. For it to break it either requires a hurricane in the gulf of mexico or a huge cold front near the lower half of the USA.
Park your car in front of the spot and talk to the locals. They will clue you in on where to paddle out and where to sit as this spot is a bit tricky. There is a long channel on the right of the reef and it is about a 10 - 15 minute paddle out. The wind is always offshore here but very hard blowing, that's why it needs size to break good. The best part is that it is a very long wave. When it's on, it gets really crowded. Good luck. I have lived on Aruba for 10 years and I've only caught it perfect 3 times or so. Other times it's still fun.
Atmoshpere is as usual very cool. Arubans are the friendliest people on earth. Do show respect for the locals.

Sydney Pollack, the Academy Award-winning director of "Out of Africa" who achieved acclaim making popular, mainstream movies with A-list stars, including "The Way We Were" and "Tootsie," died Monday. He was 73.
Pollack, who also was a producer and actor, died of cancer at his home in Pacific Palisades, according to Leslee Dart, his publicist and friend.
As a filmmaker, Pollack had a reputation for being a painstaking craftsman -- "relentless and meticulous," screenwriter and friend Robert Towne once said.
"His films have a lyrical quality like great music, and the timing is impeccable," cinematographer Owen Roizman, who shot five films directed by Pollack, including "Tootsie" and "Havana," said when it was announced that Pollack would receive the 2006 American Society of Cinematographers Board of Governors Award for his contributions to filmmaking.
"He is never satisfied. . . . His passion is contagious. It inspires everyone around him to dig a little deeper," Roizman said.
George Clooney, who starred with Pollack in "Michael Clayton," said: "Sydney made the world a little better, movies a little better and even dinner a little better. A tip of the hat to a class act. He'll be missed terribly."
Beginning with "The Slender Thread," a 1965 drama starring Sidney Poitier and Anne Bancroft, Pollack was credited with directing 20 films, including "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?," a 1969 drama about Depression-era marathon dancers starring Jane Fonda that earned Pollack an Oscar nomination for best director.
Known for what New York Times film critic Janet Maslin once described as "his broadly commercial instincts and penchant for all-star casts," Pollack directed seven movies starring Robert Redford, beginning with "This Property Is Condemned" (with Natalie Wood) in 1966.
The Pollack-Redford collaboration also produced "The Way We Were" (with Barbra Streisand), "Jeremiah Johnson," "Three Days of the Condor" (with Faye Dunaway), "The Electric Horseman" (with Fonda), "Out of Africa" (with Meryl Streep) and "Havana" (with Lena Olin).
"Sydney Pollack has made some of the most influential and best-remembered films of the last three decades," film scholar Jeanine Basinger told The Times.
In looking at Pollack's films, she said that "what you see is how he kept in step with the times. He doesn't get locked into one decade and left there. He had a very sharp political sensibility and a keen sense of what the issues of his world were, and he advanced and changed as the times advanced and changed."
Film critic and historian Leonard Maltin said "the hallmark" of Pollack's career "has been intelligence, both in his approach and his selection of subject matter."
"Good, bad or in between, his films at the very least respected their audience," Maltin told The Times. "And, of course, he worked with grade-A collaborators on both sides of the camera -- the best screenwriters, the best actors -- and it shows."
"Out of Africa," the 1985 drama based on Danish author Isak Dinesen's experiences in Kenya during the early 20th century and her romance with English big-game hunter-adventurer Denys Finch Hatton, earned Pollack two Academy Awards: as director and as producer of the film, which won the best picture Oscar.
Pollack also received a best director Oscar nomination -- and a New York Film Critics Circle Award -- for "Tootsie." In the 1982 comedy, Dustin Hoffman stars as Michael Dorsey, an unemployed New York actor who revives his career by transforming himself into a "woman" -- actress Dorothy Michaels -- who lands a role in a TV soap opera and then finds himself falling in love with an actress on the show, played by Jessica Lange. In the process of masquerading as a woman, Dorsey becomes a better man.
The making of the film was marked by creative tension between Pollack and Hoffman -- and unexpected difficulties.
"It's like working with the mechanical shark in 'Jaws,' " Pollack told the New York Times in 1982. "Dustin's breasts fall down. The high heels hurt his feet. The makeup causes pimples, and the heat makes his beard show through after a couple of hours. It's a 3 1/2 -hour makeup job, and then the makeup only has a life of four or five hours. We didn't anticipate that."
Pollack spoke of his preference for working with big stars in an interview with the New York Times in 1982.
"Stars are like thoroughbreds," he said. "Yes, it's a little more dangerous with them. They are more temperamental. You have to be careful because you can be thrown. But when they do what they do best -- whatever it is that's made them a star -- it's really exciting."
Sometimes, he added, "if you have a career like mine, which is so identified with Hollywood, with big studios and stars, you wonder if maybe you shouldn't go off and do what the world thinks of as more personal films with lesser-known people. But I think I've fooled everybody. I've made personal films all along. I just made them in another form."
Pressed by Hoffman to play his actor-character's exasperated agent in "Tootsie," Pollack finally consented to his first big-screen acting role since the 1962 film "War Hunt," during which he met Redford, who also was making his film debut.
"Dustin really kept after me to do the part," Pollack told the New York Times in another interview in 1982. "At one point, he even sent me flowers and signed the note, 'Love, Dorothy.' The acting itself was fun. It would be a great vacation to act in a movie if I weren't directing it. But to do it while you're directing interferes with your concentration."
Pollack later appeared in a number of films, including Woody Allen's "Husbands and Wives," Robert Altman's "The Player," Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" and the recent Oscar-nominated Tony Gilroy film "Michael Clayton." Pollack also turned up in guest roles on TV series such as "Frasier," "Will & Grace" and "The Sopranos."
"I don't care much about acting," he told the South Bend Tribune in 2002. "It's more about watching other directors work."
Basinger, head of the film studies department at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn., and the author of numerous books on film, said Pollack "was a fabulous actor, and he understood actors and got the best out of them" as a director.
"Here's a man who could have himself been a movie star of a certain type had he so chosen, because he really is that good an actor," she said, adding that Pollack, who spoke to film students at Wesleyan several times, also "cared about education" and was a "natural-born teacher."
Pollack's experience as an actor and acting teacher helped earn him a reputation as an "actor's director."
"He talks in a language that actors can understand," Ed Harris, who played an FBI agent in Pollack's 1993 dramatic thriller "The Firm," told USA Today at the time. "He won't just say 'speed up' or 'slow down'; he'll talk to you about the situation."
Fonda, who earned an Oscar nomination for her leading role in "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?," has said the darkly dramatic film was "a turning point for me, both professionally and personally."
With Pollack's guidance, she said, "I probed deeper into the character and into myself than I had before, and I gained confidence as an actor," she wrote in her autobiography, "My Life So Far."
In a 1993 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Pollack said he liked to talk to his actors at length.
"When I start a scene, I say, 'Let's not make this a movie.' It's my way of wanting it first to be realistic. You're not doing it to be observed. You're doing it alone. I tell actors, 'Watch "Candid Camera," then flick the channel to something else, then turn back. You'll see how phony the acting looks because real reaction so often means doing nothing.' It's always simple. The tendency with actors is to think that if you're doing more, you're doing more."
The son of a pharmacist, Pollack was born July 1, 1934, in Lafayette, Ind., and moved with his family to South Bend.
"I think of it with great sadness," he said of his experiences in South Bend in a 1993 interview with the New York Times. "It was a real cultural desert. There weren't many Jews like us, and it was real anti-Semitic."
His parents divorced while he was growing up, and his mother, who he said "had emotional problems and became an alcoholic," died when Pollack was 16. Although his father envisioned him becoming a dentist, Pollack left home after graduating from high school and moved to New York to become an actor. After studying with Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre, Pollack became Meisner's assistant.
Pollack, whose career was interrupted by Army service from 1957 to 1959, had a small role in the 1955 Broadway comedy "The Dark Is Light Enough" and later appeared on "Playhouse 90" and "The United States Steel Hour," as well as series such as "The Twilight Zone" and "Have Gun Will Travel."
As an actor, however, he viewed teaching as his meal ticket.
"I knew I wasn't going to be any great shakes as an actor -- the way I looked I would play the soda jerk or the friend of a friend," he told the New York Times in 1993. "I taught. That's how I made my living."
Pollack's work as an actor on director John Frankenheimer's two-part adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" on "Playhouse 90" led Frankenheimer to ask him to work as a dialogue coach for two children in his "Playhouse 90" production of "Turn of the Screw."
That in turn led Pollack to do similar work in Hollywood on Frankenheimer's 1961 film "The Young Savages," starring Burt Lancaster.
"Lancaster told me to come to his office one day and said, 'You should be a director,' and I said that I didn't know anything about directing, so he introduced me to Lew Wasserman," then chairman of MCA, owner of Universal Pictures, Pollack told the New York Times.
Poitier told the Los Angeles Times on Monday night that working with Pollack on "The Slender Thread" from 1965 was "a great experience." Pollack, Poitier said, "was young and gifted and enormously talented. He wound up leaving an amazing mark on the American film industry."
Over the next several years, Pollack directed episodes of TV shows such as "The Fugitive," "The Defenders," "Kraft Suspense Theatre" and "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour."
In 1966, he won an Emmy for his direction of "The Game," an episode of "Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre." He also received Emmy nominations as the director of another segment of "Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre" and an episode of "Ben Casey."
Pollack's other films as a director are "The Scalphunters" (with Lancaster), "Castle Keep," "The Yakuza," "Bobby Deerfield," "Absence of Malice," "The Firm," "Sabrina," "Random Hearts" and "The Interpreter."
His most recent film, released in the U.S. in 2006, was a departure: "Sketches of Frank Gehry," a feature-length documentary about his friend, the renowned architect whose work includes the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, and Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
Variety critic Todd McCarthy called Pollack's portrait of the architectural giant, shot in part with Pollack's own hand-held camera, "a rich tour of [Gehry's] artistic world and the journey that brought him to where he is today."
Pollack also had more than 40 credits as a producer or executive producer on films such as "Presumed Innocent," "The Fabulous Baker Boys," "The Talented Mr. Ripley," "Cold Mountain" and "Michael Clayton."
The HBO production "Recount," which premiered Sunday, was executive-produced by Pollack and Jay Roach. He was originally scheduled to direct the project but pulled out in August for health reasons.
Pollack, who co-founded Mirage Productions in 1985, was a founding member of the Sundance Institute, chairman emeritus of the American Cinematheque, a founding member of the Film Foundation, and a member of the board of directors for the Motion Picture and Television Fund.
He met his wife, Claire, when he was teaching and she was studying at the Neighborhood Playhouse. They were married in 1958 and had three children, Rebecca, Rachel and Steven. Steven died in a plane crash in 1993.
He is also survived by six grandchildren and a brother, Bernie, a Hollywood costume designer.
Services will be private.

Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legislation that strengthens the state constitution's guarantee of a free public education by specifically banning all school fees related to educational activities.
Such fees already were against the law, based on rulings and settlements arising from previous litigation, but advocates continued to pursue the issue because schools continued to charge students.
California education officials in December settled a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union against dozens of campuses -- including John Burroughs High School in Burbank -- alleging that the charges violated a constitutional mandate that public school districts provide free and equitable education to all students.
School systems have been under pressure to maintain programs in the face of budget cuts, and some turned to fees.
"This is the first time that the state has taken any responsibility for making sure these fees are not charged," said Mark Rosenbaum, chief counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, which sued over the fees. He added that the new law should end a "pay-to-learn system that has operated illegally for decades."
School officials in Burbank and Glendale have said that the clamp down could have a "chilling effect" on after on extracirricular programs that districts have been struggling to maintain amid state education funding cutbacks.

WhIteSidE needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 50 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Saguaro Digital
SaguaroDigital is a new branch of an existing mobile app development company specializing on the adult market -- not porn, but spicy. To that end, were developing e.g. online dating apps, and various other "adult themed" apps, such as alcohol and tobacco related games.
This is NOT an app logo. Instead it's an app company logo, therefore, it should be suited primarily for web and print usage. It would be nice if there is a small iconic portion that could be put in e.g. app store listings, but the primary target is as a web site logo.
Our logo should reflect that, if possible, and also work in the titular saguaro -- the classic cactus as found in southern Arizona (Search Google Images for "Saguaro").
At the same time, we'd like our logo to be a little salacious if possible. We honestly don't know what form that takes, so give it your best shot. Interesting cactus logos without any additional embellishment will be considered, however. While we are open to suggestions, we're leaning towards a green theme, although no specific color has been picked yet.
Please feel free to post questions.
*** Files ***
saguaro1.jpg This is an example of an iconic saguaro. Feel free to make any drawn ones more robust and a slightly less sickly shade of green.

Remus/Getting started
Welcome to the Getting started guide. This page covers the installation of additional components for Remus and provides a brief introduction how to create new information units, search for information and howto share your information through a repository connector.
Installing Remus
The easiest way to install Remus in your IDE is via the Marketplace. Open the Marketplace Client (Help -> Eclipse Marketplace...) and search for "Remus'" or navigate alternatively to the Marketplace Webinterface. After the installation restart your Eclipse and you'll see new buttons in the toolbar and a new perspective.
Installing additional components
The default installation installs neither information types nor remote repository connectors. They can be installed also via the Eclipse Marketplace client. To install additional components open the Marketplace and switch the Marketplace (see Pic 1).
After you have chosen the Remus Marketplace (see Pic 2) you are able to browse through the available components for Remus. To install one or multiple components select the elements you wan to be installed and step through the wizard. After a restart your selected components are installed and ready to use.
Creating information units
The creation of information follows the methodology of creating new files in Eclipse. Via New->Other or Ctrl+N you can create new information units (see Pic 4). Your information structure is accessible in the Navigation window on the right. This view is accessible either in the Information Management perspective or via Window->Show View-->Remus-->Navigation.
The application has two type of containers for information units.
- Projects
- Categories
Projects are the top-level containers and can contain categories and information units. A category can be created within a project or under another category.
Editing information units
Information units are represented in an editor and opened in Eclipses Editor-Area. The most information types have at least two sub-pages, the first is a read-only view which is optimized for browsing through information, the second sub page is for editing the information unit.
Searching through your information pool can be done via the search-field in the toolbar or the search view. The search results are opened in a separate editor. You can browse through the search results with Ctrl+ArrowLeft or Ctrl+ArrowRight. With the additional information unit Favorite Search you can save a search query as information unit. For an overview of supported search queries see here.
See the description for details (move your cursor over the red areas)
For an overview of the search syntax see Remus/Search_Syntax.
Save searches
A very neat feature is to save search queries for a further usage. For that feature you need the Favorite Search Plug-In[1] that can be installed via the Remus-Marketplace. After you have installed this feature you can save a search as information unit. This information unit can be used to perform a search later or it can be used as input for filling the parameters in the search form.
