Dates Set for 2009 Melges 24 World Championship in Annapolis
23 March 2009
The International Melges 24 Class announced today that the dates for the 2009 Melges 24 World Championship, to be hosted by Eastport Yacht Club, Annapolis, Maryland are now set. The regatta will now take place from October 23 through October 31, a week earlier than originally scheduled.
With guidance from the International and United States Melges 24 Class Associations, and consistent feedback from the participants in the 2008 North American Championship (also held at EYC), it was a unanimous decision to change the schedule. "The earlier, more compressed regatta schedule will be optimal for both weather quality and logistics for travelling teams," said Event Chairman Elizabeth Merrifield Filter. "It's ALL about the sailing. It's going to be an intense week with eight straight days of high performance racing, which is what we've come to expect from the Melges fleet. Annapolis is an ideal venue for events like this. We look forward to serving up our famous Chesapeake Bay hospitality!"
Expected Schedule of Events:
Registration Open
Friday, October 23
Pre-Worlds Regatta
Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25
Monday, October 26 through Saturday, October 31
Haul Out
Sunday, November 1
The race course on the Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis will be in the vicinity of the entrance to the Severn River. Principle Race Officer Jeff Borland and his team will post the Notice of Race on the official website at www.melges24worlds2009.com. To compliment the racing, EYC will host land-side activities throughout the week, including daily informal post-race gatherings, a welcome reception, a gala World Championship party and final awards celebration.
The 2009 Melges 24 World Championship offers an excellent range of sponsorship opportunities ranging from $500-$50,000. The Melges 24 class offers an outstanding global media coverage track record, an on-site audience of well-connected individuals in key demographics from around the world and a flexible, experienced sponsorship team dedicated to meeting sponsors' needs.
"It will be a busy time for our official apparel sponsor," said Sponsorship Director Melissa Currier. "Coral Reef Sailing Apparel in association with Gill, who will be in town for the Annapolis Boat Shows and then our Championship the next week, plus it's U.S. Naval Academy Homecoming – a promotional trifecta for them."
Annapolis is a regular host to large events, but because of the number and size of events during this timeframe, competitors are encouraged to secure reservations for accommodations as soon as possible.

BUTLER TWP — More than 100 people who work at Home Depot stores volunteered Thursday to help spruce up the outside at the VA Butler Healthcare campus.
James Mateo, manager of the Home Depot in Butler, said the company donated $30,000 in products and the workers donated their time.
Among the projects are a new, 24-by-24-foot deck leading into the court yard, new planters, benches and grills.
The project was in cooperation with the nonprofit organization Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful.

Quote from: apskip on April 09, 2010, 02:08:01 PMOK, so you are Les Moonves, head of CBS. Here is the ratings information for the season beginning Sept. 2009 you have to consider:"60 Minutes" - ranked No. 9 in the Nielsen ratings, with an average audience each week of 15.7 million "The Amazing Race" 15 and 16 - there was a break of about 3 months but for the Sunday nights that a season was active, my memory says the average weekly audience have been between 9 million and 10 million.Now, would you bump or otherwise take away from a consistent top-rated and profitable show for only the past 42 years to favor a very good show with 8.5 years of moderate ratings? No business executive would (unless he knew that Andy rooney would be retiring and taking the franchise with him). While 60 minutes is viewed by more people on average, TAR generates more revenue, since the advent of people meters, total audience hasn't been the measure that sets ad rates (what pays teh bills) that is age demographics (60 minutes has one of the worst of any show on CBS) and household income (60 minutes has one of the highest of CBS). TAR for most of its run (has People meters took over in 05) has generated more ad revenue then 60 minutes. In fact, until this season no other show on Sunday for CBS has generated more revenue for CBS on Sunday then TAR.And 60 minutes has been having significant year to year declines among not only its total audience, but severe declines in adults 18-49 (the key age demographic used to set ad rates).The reason CBS wont (at least for a couple years) change 60 minutes is not due to its audience, but do it being considered an institution. While 60 minutes is going to end this season in may with 20-30% declines across the board (at thats being generous) TAR will actually be showing year to year increases. And has been one of the most stable performers on CBS.

I am responding to mswood's argument that 60 Minutes is less valuable to CBS than the Amazing Race is. Well, as the Geico man says (with a little poetic license by me) "do statistics lie of course they can be manipulated)? Do the statistics that are endlessly quoted on other threads of team rankings mean anything? why are the ratings systems so complicated that anyone can pretty much get a very wide range of different conclusions from them (ah, now that's the really important question)." So, here are some statistics that I would use if I were the head of CBS:"60 Minutes" Enjoying Ratings Surge Off Newsmaker InterviewsDAVID BAUDER | March 23, 2009 06:52 AM EST | APNEW YORK ...This [60 Minutes] season, the program is averaging 15 million viewers an episode on Sunday nights, according to Nielsen Media Research.

On the ninth leg of this edition of the Amazing Race, the five remaining teams travel to Singapore. At the Victoria Concert House, Alan Wu (the host of Amazing Race: Asia) offers a choice of detour tasks: teams must either pound drums by learning a traditional lion drum routine or pound pavement by selling 25 ice cream sandwiches. After the detour, teams are given the option to U-Turn one other team. If a team is U-Turned, they must return and complete the other detour task. The roadblock this leg is at the boat dock, where one team member must count the links in a giant anchor chain. After all the tasks are completed, teams race to the pit stop located at the Marina Barrage.Yet there was another task, too the Fast Forward, a task that allows the first team to complete it the ability to bypass all other tasks and proceed directly to the pit stop. Brothers Dan and Jordan were the lucky ones to do this challenge, probably my favorite Fast Forward task ever, which requires a team to ride the Singapore Flyer (the worlds largest observation wheel) to the top, get out of the safety of their car, and then crawl from one car to the next, 541 feet above the ground. Dan and Jordan show tremendous competitiveness and courage and finish despite Jordans clear fear of heights. Kudos! For the rest, they opt to pound drums instead of sell ice cream. Im not sure why pound drums was the preferred choice, especially since it didnt seem that difficult to sell the ice cream. Nevertheless, teams struggled as they tried to learn the traditional drum routine from elementary school children. Even so, Caite really stood out. Not only did she have no difficulty learning the routine, she also helped Brent focus and talked him through the task. As a result, the two were able to get to the U-Turn quickly. That proved critical as the elimination this week was decided by the U-Turn. So spoiler alert! Brent and Caite decided to U-Turn Carol and Brandy, which set the two women back and led to their last-place finish. Caite went into this race looking to prove herself to the nation after her embarrassing moment at the Miss Teen USA competition where she fumbled an answer about geography. Throughout the Race, Carol and Brandy made sure Caite did not forget that moment by asking where her tiara was, impersonating her answer, and commenting on her intelligence. Well, Caite had her redemption moment. Not only did Brent and Caite succeed this leg because of her smarts and ability to learn a complicated routine under pressure, but Caite was able to exact revenge on Carol and Brandy by U-Turning them. This was not strategic it was personal. Carol and Brandys biggest mistake, then, happened long ago during the very first leg. They made an enemy.But back to the Race! We are close to the final leg and only one team away from the final three. In terms of momentum, Louie and Michael are going the wrong direction. They survive this leg because they stoke Brent and Caites dislike of Carol and Brandy. Im worried they will not crack the top three. I really like how Dan and Jordan are working together. It was nice to see Brent and Caite stay calm this is a new and more confident team. And whats not to like about the cowboys Jet and Cord? Whats great this season is that there is no one favorite or dominant team. It will be very interesting to see what happens next. Victor JihTell us: Why do you think every team chose drums over ice cream? Which team would you have U-Turned? And now that only four teams are left, who do you think will be in the final three?

Our trusty "Singapore Spoiler" reporter Germaine Lim, from "The New Paper" in Singapore, seems to be unimpressed with the latest TAR leg in his home town.Here's his article in The Electric New Paper (online).Thanks go out to our new reporter TAR fan and honorary detective for his journalistic efforts.
The Amazing Race 16: McMillen's Moments, Episode 9by Sam McMillen Last week's episode of The Amazing Race took place in Singapore where the teams all held hands the whole time and had no drama at all. Riiiight. That's like saying the Earth is flat or Ryan Seacrest is funny. The teams take a bus from Penang, Malaysia, hop on a train to Singapore and take a taxi to the Victoria Concert Hall. There they must find Allen Wu (host of The Amazing Race: Asia) for their next clue. The Detour gives the teams a choice between playing the drums or selling ice cream sandwiches, followed by a U-Turn and then the Roadblock. The leg finishes up at a marina after a leisurely ride down a massive zip line. The drama is in full force (I'll try and avoid it as best I can) and the leg is full of excellent Amazing Race tid-bits, so let's dig in. WHOM SHALL WE U-TURN?Mike and Louie did a great job at taking the U-Turn target off their back this episode. The detectives fed Brent and Caite's existing distain for the ladies by talking about how they're well traveled and full of secret skills in the intelligence arena. Even though Jordan points out on the bus that Carol and Brandy have yet to win a leg, Brandy and Carol are still the number one target. Meanwhile, Mike and Louie and The Cowboys have the majority of wins under the belts. Caite talks about how she wants to U-Turn them because they're mean to hear (enter "where's her tiara" clip for the 20th time this season), but we find out the target is also drawn from her mission to be the last female standing. While most racers' mission is to win a million bucks, I don't think there's anything wrong with having a personal goal in mind. She's there to redeem herself and change how people think about her based on her famed pageant answer. Understandable, since almost every team has a point to prove while on the race (interracial couples, breaking stereotypes, etc.), but Caite's personal goals have kept the two strongest teams in the race with them, which could backfire. ARE YOU THERE, RACERS? IT'S ME, ALLEN WU Once they find the Victoria Concert Hall, the Racers must locate Allen Wu for their next clue. I loved this Route Marker because it shows how vague the clues are. Is he inside the concert hall? Is he hanging out on the balcony? Is he hiding in the janitor's closet? No one knows. Dan and Jordan make a smart move and decide to scope out the front lawn before heading inside. Fortunately for the brothers, Jordan's instincts pay off as they're the first to locate Wu, sitting near a fountain in front of the concert hall. I love that Allen Wu made an appearance this season. Dan and I became very accustomed to his face, since The Amazing Race: Asia was pretty much all we could watch on TV while on our Pit-Stops in Southeast Asia. In English, thank God. GOING HEAD TO HEAD Dan and Jordan definitely made a bold move in going for the Fast Forward. Jet and Cord had a different reaction to seeing the clue. Instead of risking it and giving the flyer a shot, they decide to just go "head to head" with the remaining four teams that don't do the Fast Forward. This was a good move on their part in my opinion. So far, they've shown that they can do tasks with relative ease, and they've proven time after time that they can stay in the race without the help of a Fast Forward. We made a similar move in Dubai when our season's Fast Forward came up. Ours was earlier in the season, so there were more teams to go "head to head" with. We were much more comfortable just beating them at the regular race than risking getting lost trying to find the Fast Forward or, even worse, trying it and failing. Dan and I aren't exactly car experts, and he can't even drive a stick shift, so that could have been tragic. In the end, staying with the pack paid off for us, and it did for the Cowboys as well. KIDS ON CRACK, NOT SWINE FLU Some of my biggest chuckles this episode (second to Jordan, of course) came from Carol. At the Drum Detour, teams were taught a drum routine by young boys. Let's be honest, some of these kids couldn't have been more than 5 years old, and they were off in their own little world at times. We see Carol focusing intently on her infant instructors' hand movements, then she laughs when she realizes how lost she is. Brandy wants to go to a different instructor, and Carol tells the boy he's fabulous when they switch so as not to hurt his feelings. The boy looks clueless when they leave, probably thinking about Sponge Bob or something. At the other Detour (after the U-Turn ordeal) Carol decides that her marketing approach to selling ice cream sandwiches is to convince the locals that they are swine flu free. I just thought it was funny how she said it; so nonchalantly, under her breath and directed at no one in particular. THE U-TURN Alright, so I'm not going to get much into the drama for many reasons, but the U-Turn this episode was clearly important. For the second time this season, a team is U-Turned not for their skill in the race, but for personal reasons. Brent/Caite's distaste for Carol and Brandy overrides a perhaps more practical option of U-Turning a team that has proven more threatening, such as the Cowboys or the Detectives. Caite is overwhelmed with join when they leave the Detour before Carol and Brandy, and literally has a fit of euphoria when they reach the U-Turn box only to find that it hasn't been used yet. We find out that Caite's aversion to Carol and Brandy comes from the negative comments they've said about her, and Brent can't stand them because he thinks their "bitches". After the ladies see that they've been U-Turned, the gloves come off. Their commentary includes "She's an idiot, and she's on YouTube to prove it", "Let's be honest, she hasn't built a career on intelligence", and they even call them "Brent and Caite Gump". Wow. I was pretty shocked by the degree of bashing coming from Carol and Brandy (well... mostly Brandy), but you can understand why they were upset. A team that has proven significantly weaker than them had a few quick successes that put them at the U-Turn before Carol and Brandy. I would have been upset for that reason too, but I don't think I would have gone so far as to call someone Cruella DeVille. I mean come on, Cruella killed puppies to make fur coats. Nothing's that bad. Let's be honest, the editors had a hay-day with this one. THE FAST FORWARD This week's episode features the season's only Fast Forward, and it was a doozie. I only wish I could have been a fly on the wall that day at the Singapore Flyer. What we saw of Dan and Jordan during the task was absolutely hilarious, adorable and nerve racking all the same time. The brothers must have had a pretty good idea that they found Allen Wu first, because they didn't seem too concerned about arriving at the Fast Forward second, which can really set you back. For the challenge, Dan and Jordan rode the Singapore Flyer to the tip top, where they had to climb from one pod to another. Did I mention it's over 500 feet in the air? Crazy. I love heights challenges and I wish our season got to enjoy as many as this season (mostly because Dan and I were one of the only teams without a member who was afraid of heights). Jordan was completely freaked out by the challenge, and I'm pretty sure I saw a little pee running down his leg at one point. Sucks for the people below him. They're able to complete the task and are awarded a fast-track to the Pit-Stop, obtaining their first win this season. The highlight of the event is when Dan looks over at his younger brother and says, "hey, if you fall and die, I love you". Brotherly love at its finest. Very nice job by the brothers, for having the guts to risk it and for triumphing over such an insane task. FF IN PROGRESS Mike and Louie decide to try out the Fast Forward after their rhythmic skills failed miserably. Dan and Jordan were the only team unaccounted for at the Drum Detour, so I don't blame the detectives for giving it a shot. I probably wouldn't have suspected Dan and Jordan of going for the Fast Forward either, so I don't think this was necessarily a dumb move on the part of the cops. Also, they've got a little insurance since they convinced other teams to U-Turn Brandy and Carol. After already having their spirits crushed by finding out the FF was in progress, they return to the cab only to find their driver has taken a potty break. Bad timing, indeed, and the detectives really start to sweat as time is literally slipping away. CRAZY AMERICANS There comes the point when you're doing a challenge among hundreds of locals, just doing your thing and not thinking twice about it, when all of a sudden you realize, "wow, they must think we've escaped from a mental hospital." I'm sure Louie had this epiphany while selling the ice cream sandwiches, as he says "Ice cream... from some crazy Americans." I think the little drummer boy must have shared his crack with Mike because he goes nuts in this challenge, jumping for joy every time they sell an ice cream sandwich and doing little dances while using cartoon voices. Pretty funny, but I'm guessing a little overwhelming for the locals. Either way, they got the task done fast and were able to move right on to the Roadblock. HE MUST WATCH A LOT OF COMEDY CENTRAL So Jordan is definitely my go-to-guy for a laugh this season. He's very witty and has a sense of timing that always seems to give me a chuckle. This week was no exception, and I felt we got an extra dose of his charm after the Fast Forward. My favorite line was when the brothers read the clue while riding back down on the Flyer, noting that the Pit-Stop is at the Marina Barage. Upon gazing out the window of their pod, Jordan says, "Oh , there it is, Marina Barage. Phil, we'll be right there!" Ok, so maybe it's not that funny when you type it out, but I died laughing when I first saw it. He's full of those lighthearted comments and I hope we see a lot more in the few remaining episodes.So Carol and Brandy must say their goodbyes this week, unable to recover from the U-Turn. They didn't go lightly, as they extensively discuss their opinion of Caite even in their post-leg interviews. Hopefully the ladies have had time to let it go by now, but I'm guessing they'll never be pen pals with Brent and Caite. This week's episode is in China and the previews seem pretty exciting, so it should be a good showing. If you didn't understand some of this blog, just email Carol and she'll translate it into first grader English for you.
We started with eleven teams and are now down to the final four. Teams are exhausted. Stress is high. Nerves are frayed. Thats probably because teammates have been shackled to each other for nearly a month! The finish line represents both the chance to share in a million dollars and to escape from each other. But before they can get there, the four teams have to first leave Singapore and travel to Zhu Jia Jiao and Shanghai, China. Fans know that this leg is almost always non-elimination, so the objective is not avoiding elimination but positioning for the push to final three.And in terms of positioning, the team best poised for a good run seems to be Team Cowboy. The four pairs start even on the same flight to China and learn from a giddy Caite about Carol and Brandys elimination. Jordan is not happy, though, and mutters that Team Cowboy is the scariest team remaining and that everyone may regret not eliminating them. Though there are two chances to U-Turn the Cowboys, emotion trumps strategy. Once the flight lands, Jordans words prove prescient. Team Cowboy immediately takes over first place as Dan and Jordan and Louie and Michael slip further and further behind with confused taxi drivers and poor language skills. Even though no team faces elimination, I loved the tasks on this leg! Personally, I think this is probably the best set of tasks on a leg in any season of the Amazing Race. For the first time ever, there are two roadblocks on the same leg, requiring each team member to step up and perform. One team member must learn how the Chinese make noodles by hand. The other must solve a 96-piece giant puzzle in order to find the clue in the middle of a soccer stadium. Team members must also work together to dress a model according to a detailed picture. The tasks test ones ability to learn quickly, patience in the face of adversity, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills, with a bit of luck thrown in. And the teams also get to meet Ping Ping, the worlds smallest man. Caite wants to take Ping Ping home with her, while Jet remarks that if Ping Ping jumped out of a trash can, hed scare the [bleep] out of you. (Sadly, this leg is dedicated to the memory of Ping Ping, who died of heart complications on March 3, 2010.)The challenges on this leg prove that the Cowboys are the favorites. Jet rocked the noodle-making task when he quickly figured out how to use flour to separate the noodles. Cord rocked the puzzle task by staying calm after gale-force winds undid much of his work. As Jet put it, what Cord lacks in talent he more than makes up for in try. Thats truly an apt description for the team. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Louie and Michael make the biggest mistakes of the leg. Not only do they struggle with their taxicab driver, Louie (despite his Italian grandmother) also struggles to make pasta, the cops (despite their police background) walk right past the fashion store, and Michael (despite his investigative background) wrestles with the puzzle. The mistake-laden leg puts them in last place. While not eliminated, they do enter the next leg saddled with an extra speed bump task.If I had to bet money, I sadly suspect Louie and Michael are the next to go and most people I talk to think Jet and Cord are the favorites to win. But that said, this season is all about surprises. Who would have thought Caite would be the last woman standing (congratulations!) with Brent? And Dan and Jordans teamwork is only getting stronger. Nothing is a certainty, which is all the more reason to keep watching! Victor Jih
After eleven grueling legs around the world, the final three teams in the sixteenth installment of The Amazing Race are now set. So which teams made it to the final sprint? Beware of spoilers below!The results of this leg should have been 100 percent drama free since the first three teams leave the Shanghai Science & Technology Museum over two hours before Louie and Michael, who, after being spared elimination the last leg, also face an additional speed bump task. Of course, the Race is far from predictable and this leg becomes a white-knuckle affair as brothers Dan and Jordan find themselves in a battle with the detectives for the last spot in the final three.How did Dan and Jordan get into this predicament? As viewers, we typically focus on the roadblock or the detour tasks, but in this leg, the most difficult challenge was finding the first clue. As teams leave the pit stop, they must locate the Garden Bridge. It sounds simple enough but as teams ask taxicab drivers, passing pedestrians, and local merchants, few speak English and those who do fail to recognize the Garden Bridge. Every team faces difficulty, but Brent and Caite and Jet and Cord manage to find their way relatively quickly. Dan and Jordan, however, really struggle and after two hours and twelve minutes of wandering aimlessly have no clue how where the Garden Bridge is.What makes the challenge so deliciously difficult? (I loved this clue.) Part of it is certainly the language barrier. Getting frustrated with people who ought to speak English is generally not a productive way of dealing with it. (Indeed, more people in China speak English than Americans speak Chinese.) But in this episode, its not only the language barrier. Its the fact that tourist names do not always match local names. Residents know the bridge as Waibaidu Bridge, which SO is not Garden in Chinese. Locals who try to translate Garden Bridge literally send teams to a park, which is not where they need to go. And its not that the Garden Bridge is an obscure location. A quick search on Wikipedia identifies it as a popular destination since it is the first all-steel bridge and instantly reveals its Chinese name.With over two hours, I cant understand why Dan and Jordan didnt just find an Internet connection and type Garden Bridge Shanghai. The other teams do the same by finding Shanghai residents with Internet access on their mobile phones.Despite wasting time flailing around Shanghai, the brothers do have a brilliant moment. They suddenly realize their best move is to team up with Louie and Michael. Instead of roaming lost by themselves, they can turn the race into a two-team match-up for the final spot. Its risky but its the best move since they are unable to make progress on their own. To their credit, Dan and Jordan generally keep their cool and are able to out-compete Louie and Michael in counting statues at the roadblock and finding the needle-in-a-haystack Chinese stamps at the detour. Dan and Jordan join Brent and Caite and Jet and Cord in the final three. Louie and Michael are eliminated, one leg shy of all the way.There is no obvious winner going into the final. Brent and Caite have surged with two second-place finishes and a first place this leg. But its not clear which Caite will appear for the final the supportive teammate who brings the best out of Brent or the one that wont let Brent go to the bathroom? Jet and Cord have the most consistent record, with four first-place finishes, but the cowboys are also capable of really bad decisions (remember the Seychelles?) Having averted disaster, perhaps Dan can really make his brothers dream come true and help him win the whole thing. But will it be the strong, sensitive brother, or the one that nearly kills the lost taxicab driver in Shanghai? Well find out next week! Victor Jih
Phil Keoghan Analyzes The Amazing Races Final Three TeamsMay 9, 2010Phil Keoghan, host of The Amazing Race, spoke to PEOPLE and broke down the pros and cons of the final three teams before the shows finale Sunday night. Watch a sneak peek of the episode. Tune in to CBS (8 p.m. EST) to find out which set of world travelers will master motion capture at Lucas Films, reach Keoghans mat first and take home the $1 million prize in San Francisco, this seasons final destination. Carrie BellThe Cowboys: Jet and Cord McCoyStrengths: Family ties are an asset and these brothers with tremendous eye-hand coordination work extremely well together, according to Keoghan. He also says theyre the coolest team under pressure that weve ever had. The closest they ever got to losing their cool was in Seychelles when they forgot the map and even then I saw only a hint of frustration. Maybe because this isnt the professional bullriders first time at the rodeo. Theyre used to the limelight, high-level competition and performing under pressure, Keoghan says. Weaknesses: Keoghan is concerned that very same coolness might cost them first place. Theyre very even and nice and may not be able to amp it up to guarantee a win, he says. At this point, you have to get cutthroat and have a win-at-any-cost mentality. I dont know if they have it in them to push past another team to take the only taxi. The slightest hesitation will cost you. Their trademark wide-eyed awe may also cost them time. Its one of the things that viewers have really identified with, but if they stop to smell the coffee for too long, someone else will drink it. The Model Couple: Brent Horne and Caite UptonStrengths: Keoghan, like most of the contestants and viewers, never pictured this dating duo in the finale because of their opposite personalities, frequent bickering and [numerous] silly errors they made early on where they missed the little details, he says. And of course theres that infamous beauty pageant blunder that made her look like an airhead. [The other teams] judged her on that and figured she wouldnt be able to hack the Race, he continues. But Caites determination to prove herself is the reason theyre still in it. Ultimately she led that team with a do-or-die mentality. She would push past anybody to get to the finish line first. Shes made it very clear that she will do whatever it takes.Weaknesses: Theyre the only unrelated pair left and theyve known each other the least amount of time. Theres an entirely different dynamic in boyfriend-girlfriend teams and theyre different people, Keoghan explains. Brents quite laid back and doesnt like to be pushed too much. When he is, he tends to back down, give up and quit. Their different headspaces could become an issue. Speaking of bad habits, shes still the girl who froze and lost the plot on national TV when the pressure was on, he continues. The stress of the final leg could trigger that same deer-in-headlights reaction.The Brothers: Dan and Jordan Pious:Strengths: Theyve also got the brotherly bond working for them. Its been Jordans dream to tryout for the Race and while Dan was never a big fan, he has a tremendous amount of desire to help Jordan with his quest to win, Keoghan says. That determination to support his little brother and their close-knit relationship has allowed them to work well together and forced them to push themselves.Weaknesses: While this tough team deserves to be final three, Keoghan worries their emotions or tempers will get the best of them. When the pressures on or things stop going their way, Jordan gets very emotional and then Dan has to spend time taking care of him, he explains. Thats where their game falls apart, although I admire how good of a job hes done picking him up off the floor and moving him along. But an outburst could cost them precious minutes. Their tempers, as we saw in the taxi last episode, flare up under pressure and they get rattled.Tell us: Who are you rooting for? And who do you think will win The Amazing Race?
Team "Sour Grapes"
Quote from: Boingo on May 10, 2010, 12:38:45 AMTeam "Sour Grapes" Yes it did. TAR looks like it may have jumped the shark if it keeps advocating team drama over task-making.
May 10, 2010Brothers Dan and Jordan Win "Amazing Race"Cowboy Favorites Fall Short During the Sixteenth Season Finale in San FranciscoBy Joyce Lee(CBS) Brothers Dan and Jordan Pious swindled their way to the top and took home the million dollar grand prize on Sunday night's season finale of "The Amazing Race."Despite starting off almost four hours behind, the sibling duo from Rhode Island were able to surpass the two other teams by pulling some rather unsportsman-like moves.While on their way to San Francisco from Shanghai, Jordan and Dan arrived last to the airport but sneaked ahead by cutting in front of cowboys Jet and Cord in line at the ticket counter. Later, they found themselves in the number one spot after Dan asked the flight attendant to move them up to first class, which allowed them to be first off the plane.Models Caite and Brent were the second team to get off the plane, but later fell behind after struggling with cab problems while en route to the Presidio, the second destination. Jet and Cord whizzed by them and quickly deciphered the riddle they found, which directed them to Coit Tower.The clue at Coit Tower was a roadblock, and had one member of each team complete a vertical climb to the tower's archway to receive the third clue. Dan got the clue right when Jet and Cord arrived to the scene, while Caite and Brent were in a distant third and just got a hold of the riddle.The next clue asked them to find the Yoda Fountain at Lucasfilm Ltd. The teams had to navigate a virtual world, with one partner suited up in a motion capture suit searching for the clue while the other was behind a computer giving directions.When Jet and Cord arrived, they tried to distract the other set of brothers by being loud and obnoxious, which initially frustrated Dan. But, Dan and Jordan were able to pull through and eventually find the third clue first.Still struggling to catch up, Caite and Brent finally arrived to the scene and attempted to close the gap between themselves and the cowboys. The four of them finish right at the same time and headed to the next destination, the Tonga Room, San Francisco's first and oldest tiki bar.Just as they left, Caite and Brent realized they had left their wallets and personal belongs at Lucasfilm and were forced to go back, diminishing their chances of winning.While at the Tonga Room, the clue asked the teams to pick up a big, heavy chest and lug it to their next destination: The Great American Music Hall. Once they arrived at the Hall, the teams were to open up the trunks and find 11 psychedelic posters that included faces of the eliminated teams. From there, they needed to use their memory and arrange them in the proper order before they received the next clue.Jordan, an avid "Amazing Race" watcher, had a feeling this challenge would come up so he had all the names already noted down. They raced through the challenge before the cowboys even arrived and headed for Candlestick Park, the next and final destination.Jet and Cord arrived to the Hall and quickly worked through the challenge. Once they left, it appeared that the race was neck-and-neck with the other set of brothers. But, in the end, Dan and Jordan were the first team to cross the finish line. An elated Jordan was grateful to his brother for helping him fulfill his dream of winning the race."I love my little brother and it's so great knowing I could help him make his No. 1 dream come true," Dan said.Jett and Cord were happy with their second place arrival at the finish line. "We kept our character and integrity in tact -- we can hold our heads up high," they said.When Caite and Brent finally arrived, everyone greeted them with smiles and applause except for Brandy and Carol, the team that Caite u-turned in a previous episode. Caite attempted to apologize but Brandy quickly snapped back."I don't want to hear sorry from you. You purposely whacked us," she said.Caite, unfazed by Brandy's remark, stood on the stage and closed this season of "The Amazing Race" with the perfect retort:"I'm the one standing here and not you."

WORCESTER, Mass. - MIT's first and second freshmen eights finished up the regular season last weekend with admirable performances at the 2006 Eastern Sprints on Lake Quinsigamond and now await word on a national bid.
In the first freshmen boat, the team drew a fast heat and was unable to qualify for the Petite Final despite an impressive first 1000 meters. In the third level final, MIT gained ground on Dartmouth from the qualifying heats, and were able to beat Columbia by five seconds, thereby dodging a last place finish. The performance, while short of expectations, should earn the Engineers a bid for the IRA National Championship Regatta in early June.
In the second freshmen racing, MIT avenged an earlier loss in the season against Dartmouth by moving through the Green around the half way point, and finishing eight seconds ahead. Although neither boat was able to qualify for the Grand Final, the team produced its best race of the year, and similar to the first freshmen's result, finished outside the back of the pack.
The Engineers rowed a varsity eight at Eastern Sprints, although the squad finished fifth in the third-level final. Holy Cross won the race with a clip of 6:03.
MIT's first freshmen boat will wait to hear from the selection committee this week, and hope to compete for a top 24 spot in Camden, N.J.

Rams Win in 14 over the Dolphins
Farmingdale State - 2 (14 inn), Staten Island - 1
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State baseball team improved to 8-10 overall tonight with a 2-1 victory over non-conference opponent Staten Island (3-7) in Farmingdale, N.Y. The game went 14 innings and lasted four hours and four minutes. This was the longest game recorded for the Rams, since becoming a Division III team in 2000.
Farmingdale scored first in the sixth inning when sophomore outfielder Steve Campbell (Massapequa, N.Y./Massapequa) walked and advanced to third on senior infielder Luis Feliciano (Bronx, N.Y./Park West) single. Campbell scored on a double play ball and the Rams held the 1-0 lead up until the eighth.
In the eighth, the Dolphins scored with a single to right center by senior outfielder Ray Valerio (Brooklyn, N.Y./Utrecht) and an RBI triple to left center by junior outfielder Joel Pratts (Brooklyn, N.Y./Telecommunications).
With five scoreless innings to follow, the Rams loaded the bases in the fourteenth. The inning began with a single by freshman infielder Kevin Curtis (Riverhead, N.Y./Riverhead), followed by senior outfielder Anthony Mazzilli (North Babylon, N.Y./North Babylon) reaching on an error by the third basemen. The Dolphins intentionally walked senior infielder Frank Italiano (Sayville, N.Y./St. John the Baptist) and that would fill up the bases with no outs.
Sophomore outfielder Frank Ennis (Commack, N.Y./Commack) hit a sacrifice fly to center field which would score the winning run for Farmingdale State for the 2-1 win.
The Rams will travel to face the College of Mount Saint Vincent on Sunday, March 30th for a conference doubleheader at Noon.

Skip to comments.ABC's Robin Roberts On Interviewing Obama: "I'm Getting Chills Again" (HURL ALERT)
Posted on 05/10/2012 1:16:30 PM PDT by tcrlaf
"Whatever people think about this issue, we know it's controversial, there's no denying when a president speaks out for the first time like that, it is history," co-host of ABC's "Good Morning America" George Stephanopoulos said to Robin Roberts.
And let me tell you, George, I'm getting chills again," "Good Morning America" co-host Robin Roberts said about her interview with Obama.
"When you sit in that room and you hear him say those historic words. It was not lost on anyone in there right there. You never know what he's going to say until you ask him," she added.
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
STAGE MANGER, CUE THE RELIGIOUS IMAGERY! The QUEER MESSIAH IS BACK!!
Get Shepard Fairey on the payroll again!
These people are absolutely pathetic. Roberts is a legend in her own mind. Talk about an ego.
Chris Mathews has got the tingle going up his pants again.
Maybe him and Obama can wed. :)
Oh wait, the bigots also have laws against polygamy. No good hatemongers....
I'm getting cold chills too, Robin...It's called a shudder, and it's not good.
GLBT-ABCDisney News. I'm not surprised.
I am too when I think about God's punishment of Sodom and Gommorah for the same offense that Obama's dedicating this country too.
If she has the chills, she needs to get out of the meat locker...
If she really wants a scoop and to get a chill response, she should ask Barry about his sexual encounter with Larry Sinclair.
Robin, you are 51 I read. You should not mistake those chills for Obama, for making those extra trips to the bathroom at your age.
Are most of these Journalists and Hollywood actors gay?
If the media actually analyzed anything, this would demonstrate not Obama's courage; but his intellectual inadequacy; not his tolerance, but his sheepish devotion to the fad values of the compulsion driven neurotics who drive Leftist movements.
Anyone who understands the multi-generational nature of human development--indeed of all continuing life on the earth;--anyone who understands the concept of the family; of the relation of the family to the community; of the community to the tribe, nation, race or what have you--in short how civilizations develop & take form & substance; will understand that "same sex marriage" is an oxymoron--an absolute mockery of the sanctification of procreational family development.
Those of us who do not want to remain with Alice down the Rabbit hole need to start to do a better job of framing social issues. There is a consistent thread in what the Left offers, from this idiocy to passing on horrendous deficits & debased currency to our posterity, to trashing our heritage in almost every way imaginable. But we are not doing much of a job of explaining that thread of conceptual nihilism to the unwary being manipulated all around us, who parrot what in any other age would have been only satirized.
We need to realize how late is the hour, if all that once was sacred in America is to survive.
Our Leftist Media are well below merely being pathetic. But you cannot make this stuff up.
William Flax
"Are most of these Journalists and Hollywood actors gay?"
YES, or bi...
And the vast majority of the staff behind them are gay, too.
You simply cannot get hired at a major US media source (non-FOX) in America today without at least cowtowing to the Gay Mafia.
Robin Roberts is an admitted lesbian so I can see why she loves homosexual depravity and anthing that promotes it.
Certainly more than 2% of reporters and editors are homosexual.
They should all come out of the closet so the viewing public will better know why they find stories that highlight the homosexual agenda so "important".
Don't ask, don't tell is only bad in the military, according to them.
I wonder why they didn't get chills when Cheney said the same thing (only 3 years earlier than Obama).
I only watched a minute of this stupid interview and I turned to my husband and said, "OMG, she's going to drool on him, isn't she?" I mean...how disgusting. That wasn't an interview...it was a LOOOOVVVEEE fest! Robin...you should find another occupation...maybe go back to sports???
Another thought I had about Robin Roberts...does she know she was used....like a common whore would be used by some guy????? Don't you just love liberal feminists??

I've bought all of my bento supplies on Ebay, so I'd love to share the sellers I used, because I had absolutely fantastic experiences with them. These are all located in the US, which was a high priority for me since it meant lower shipping. I was also very pleased with the prices of all the individual items I purchased.
Bento Mama is my first and favorite. The website says that the shipping for each additional item is $1, but since I bought little items that could fit in the box along with the bento, there was no extra charge. I was really happy about that since most other Ebay sellers would charge that extra dollar "on principle."
Jstuffsale was my second bento store. Again, my supplies shipped quickly with reasonable prices, and I also received a free oshibori with my first purchase. The "I hope you are pleased with your purchase" e-mail was personal and polite. I liked that touch. I also thought the prices here were great.
I bought a gift for a friend at Bento Obento. The price and shipping were good, and it was sent with a free sauce container shaped like a piggy (I'm a sucker for cute stuff like that). The "$5 bento bargain bin" is also great for bento-ing on a budget.
Before you buy from Bento Obento, just be aware that many of her items, especially those in the bargain category, are dollar store quality. Actually, a lot of her things I have seen in the Target $1 bins or at Dollar Tree, and the rest are from Daiso or Ichiban Kan, which are basically Japanese $1+ stores. Daiso and Ichiban Kan only have U.S. locations on the west coast, so if you see something cute that isn't available to you locally, then by all means go ahead and buy if you like the price. But before you do, check your local Dollar Tree or whatever dollar store you have. I have seen many items that sell in packs of 2 or 3 for $1 in the Dollar Tree (often in the baby aisle) split up into separate orders in her"bargain bin" for $3 or $4 or $5 plus shipping. And they are very clearly dollar store quality once you see them in person- I didn't even want them for $1. I would feel totally ripped off if I bought that stuff from her. The stuff that comes from Daiso or Ichiban Kan is nicer quality than most American dollar stores carry (most of their plastic bento boxes are $2 or $3), so if she has them at a decent price and you can't find better, you might be happy with the purchase.
An example item that I see in the Target $1 bins EVERY TIME I go into the store, just occasionally in different patterns, is this little snack box she is trying to sell for $5. Even for $1 it is not very good quality, and it is small and not remotely water-tight so you could really only use it for a toddler's dry cereal snack. http://cgi.ebay.com/Disney-Princess-Pink-Bento-Box-/260602854225?pt=LH_D... If I paid $8.50 for this (including shipping) I would be demanding my money back in full and for her to pay return shipping. It is THAT bad for the price.
I'm not trying to be totally negative about this and say NEVER order from her. She is probably a good ebayer in regards to communication, shipping, etc. Just be very, very careful and research what is out there and what it actually costs, or you may be less than impressed with what you get.

Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer. (Psalm 4 : 1)
David the psalmist, cries out to the Lord for deliverance from them who hate him; from them who want to turn his glory into shame. He cries out to God and tells Him that he needs an answer. He calls out to his righteous God and prays, "Give me relief from my distress, be merciful to me and hear my prayer."
Our God is a prayer answering God and He is the one who brings relief in all our distresses. Every believer should, without fail, pray to the Lord, worship Him and meditate on His word, each day. This should be something we should never forget or ignore. If you seek deliverance, if you want a healing, if you want to feel God's presence in your life continually, call out to him, cry to him for mercy and he will hear. Seek his face. He is a rewarder of those who seek him diligently. Find a time period in your daily schedule where you can spend quality quiet time with the Lord. For some it may be the early mornings, for some as they retire after a day's work. Of course we can pray and call out to him at any time of the day or night. And we can pray at all times, wherever we are; whether we are at home, whether we are at our workplace, or while travelling, We can pray and approach the throne of grace with confidence.
The Apostle Paul once said, "The Lord has delivered us from many perils, and He will deliver us again." Has not God answered your prayers in the past? He will do it again. Call out to him. He is a merciful God, a compassionate God; he will surely answer your prayers. Spend time in prayer, spend time in worship and spend time in meditation of the word and the Lord will bless you abundantly.
David was in several perilous situations and his righteous God delivered him. He is your righteous God too. He will give you relief from your distresses too. Praise his holy name.

Now available as a Struts 2 plugin
The RomeResult is now available as a Struts 2 plugin over at http://code.google.com/p/s2-rome.
A couple of days ago I quickly had to create a result type that would transform a Rome (https://rome.dev.java.net/) SyndFeed to several news feeds. The framework makes this very, very easy.
Used versions
WebWork 2.2 beta 4
Rome 0.7 beta
The code
/** * */ package com.acme.result; import java.io.Writer; import org.apache.log4j.Logger; import org.apache..ServletActionContext; import com.opensymphony.xwork.ActionInvocation; import com.opensymphony.xwork.Result; import com.sun.syndication.feed.synd.SyndFeed; import com.sun.syndication.io.SyndFeedOutput; /** * A simple Result to output a Rome SyndFeed object into a newsfeed. * @author Philip Luppens * */ public class RomeResult implements Result { private String feedName; private String feedType; private final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(RomeResult.class); /* * (non-Javadoc) * * @see com.opensymphony.xwork.Result#execute(com.opensymphony.xwork.ActionInvocation) */ public void execute(ActionInvocation ai) throws Exception { if (feedName == null) { // ack, we need this to find the feed on the stack logger .error("Required parameter 'feedName' not found. " + "Make sure you have the param tag set and " + "the static-parameters interceptor enabled in your interceptor stack."); // no point in continuing .. return; } // don't forget to set the content to the correct mimetype ServletActionContext.getResponse().setContentType("text/xml"); // get the feed from the stack that can be found by the feedName SyndFeed feed = (SyndFeed) ai.getStack().findValue(feedName); if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) { logger.debug("Found object on stack with name '" + feedName + "': " + feed); } if (feed != null) { if (feedType != null) { // Accepted types are: rss_0.90 - rss_2.0 and atom_0.3 // There is a bug though in the rss 2.0 generator when it checks // for the type attribute in the description element. It's has a // big 'FIXME' next to it (v. 0.7beta). feed.setFeedType(feedType); } SyndFeedOutput output = new SyndFeedOutput(); //we'll need the writer since Rome doesn't support writing to an outputStream yet Writer out = null; try { out = ServletActionContext.getResponse().getWriter(); output.output(feed, out); } catch (Exception e) { // Woops, couldn't write the feed ? logger.error("Could not write the feed", e); } finally { //close the output writer (will flush automatically) if (out != null) { out.close(); } } } else { // woops .. no object found on the stack with that name ? logger.error("Did not find object on stack with name '" + feedName + "'"); } } public void setFeedName(String feedName) { this.feedName = feedName; } public void setFeedType(String feedType) { this.feedType = feedType; } }
Code Explanation
Easy enough. We try to find the SyndFeed object on the WW stack. If we can find it, we will set the feed type (rss v0.9 +, atom 0.3) if it has been specified in the result parameters (see below). Then we use a SyndFeedOutput to write our newsfeed to our PrintWriter from our response.
Action Configuration
Before you can use this result, you will need to register it in your
<package name="default" extends="struts-default"> <result-types> <result-type name="feed" class="com.acme.result.RomeResult"/> </result-types> <interceptors> ..
You can now use this result type. So, create an Action that will create and populate the Rome SyndFeed, and make sure you provide a getter for your populated SyndFeed. The actual creation of your feed is beyond this recipe, but you can find plenty of examples in the Rome Wiki (http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javawsxml/Rome05Tutorials).
<action name="feed" class="com.acme.action.CreateFeedAction"> <result name="success" type="feed"> <param name="feedName">feed</param> <param name="feedType">rss_1.0</param> </result> </action>
This is a simple feed result using Rome as a news feed generator. You might want to make sure you don't generate your feed on every request, but there are lots of ways to deal with such problems. You can also provi
de additional setters in the Result to set your feed title, url, etc, but this should suffice for a quickstart.

* Blasts occur near Ministry of Foreign Affairs
* Sunni Islamist militants regaining ground in Iraq
* Critics say PM Maliki's policies have fostered insurgency (Updates death toll)
By Kareem Raheem
BAGHDAD, Feb 5 (Reuters) - A spate of bombings in Baghdad killed at least 34 people on Wednesday, including several blasts near the heavily-fortified "Green Zone" and a busy square in the centre of the capital, Iraqi security sources said.
The blasts came a day after two rockets were fired into the Green Zone, home to the prime minister's office and Western embassies, and are likely to heighten concerns about Iraq's ability to protect strategic sites as security deteriorates.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombings, but Sunni Islamist militants have been regaining ground in Iraq, particularly in the western province of Anbar, where they overran two cities on Jan. 1.
More than 1,000 people were killed in violence across the country in January alone, and last year was the bloodiest since 2008, when sectarian warfare began to abate from its height.
On Wednesday, security sources said two parked car bombs went off opposite the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, killing 11.
The Interior Ministry gave a different version, blaming the "cowardly" attack on a suicide bomber on a motorcycle.
"At around nine o'clock this morning, a terrorist suicide bomber riding a motorcycle tried to enter the security area of the Ministry," it said in a statement. "A group of guards stopped him at a checkpoint and denied him access so he blew himself and the bike up."
In a separate incident, a suicide bomber driving a car detonated himself along with the vehicle outside a restaurant close to a checkpoint one street away from the Green Zone, killing eight people, the security sources said.
An explosion near Khullani Square in central Baghdad left four more people dead, and later in the day, three car bombs blew up in quick succession in the southeastern Jisr Diyala district, killing a further 11.
"Iraqi political leaders should show national unity in dealing with such threats and unite against terrorism," said the U.N. envoy to Iraq, Nikolay Mladenov, in a statement.
The city of Falluja is currently being surrounded and shelled by the Iraqi army in preparation for a possible ground assault to drive out anti-government fighters, which include members of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
The violence has halted exports of crude oil from Iraq to Jordan, which used to be trucked across the border through Anbar.
In a short speech broadcast on state television on Wednesday, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said local authorities and tribal leaders in Anbar would unveil a joint initiative to end the standoff in the coming days, without elaborating.
"The goal of this initiative is to unify positions to end the battle against al Qaeda," said Maliki, who is also commander in chief of the armed forces. "The battle is on the threshold of conclusion."
Maliki has appealed for international support and weapons to fight al Qaeda, but critics say his own policies towards Iraq's once-dominant Sunni community are at least partly to blame for reviving an insurgency that had peaked in 2006-07.
Some tribes in Sunni-dominated Anbar support or have aligned themselves with ISIL against Maliki's Shi'ite-led government, which they accuse of abuses against their sect.
Others deplore ISIL's violent tactics and have joined forces with the army to fight against the group and its allies in and around the city of Ramadi, which was also overrun by militants last month but is now largely back under government control.
New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) said ISIL's acts of violence amounted to crimes against humanity, citing the recent execution-style killing of four members of Iraq's SWAT forces near Ramadi, for which the militants claimed responsibility.
"These abhorrent killings are the latest in a long list of ISIL atrocities, at a time when civilians in Anbar province are stuck in the fighting and getting abused by all sides," said HRW's deputy Middle East director Joe Stork on Wednesday.
"Together with the ISIL car bombs and suicide attacks targeting civilians, they are further evidence of crimes against humanity." (Additional reporting by Raheem Salman and Ahmed Rasheed; Writing by Isabel Coles; Editing by Gareth Jones)

With Romance With the Unseen, Don Byron decides to not focus on a particular musical style, as he has done for most of his albums. Instead, he chooses to craft an album of songs that live up to the record's title; these are songs that feel romantic, but aren't love songs. Like most of Byron's albums, there's an abundance of technique and emotion, yet each track feels distinctly different from the others, while managing to form a cohesive whole. The most impressive thing about Romance With the Unseen is that, while it takes chances (how could it not, with Bill Frisell, Jack deJohnette, and Drew Gress forming Byron's backing band?), it never sounds inaccessible. It's a shining example of mainstream jazz at its best -- stimulating, provocative, and entertaining, all at once. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Linda, I haven't heard from you for a while. It is about time to go "browsing" through some galleries because I am sure that you have submitted some stunning images.
