Saab to Expand Presence in UK
By: PR Newswire
Nov. 15, 2012 03:59 AM
LONDON, November 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Global defence and security company Saab has announced a continued expansion of its presence in the UK with its new market operations area for Europe and Greater Middle East to be headquartered in London, effective from January 1st 2013.
To create profitable and long-term growth, Saab has placed clear focus on increasing its international presence and sales outside of Sweden.
Its new and expanded UK office will help spearhead the company's international presence and export sales into markets with strong demand and with the right conditions for profitable growth. The new regional operation will be headed by Tomas Samuelsson, President and Head of Market Area Europe and Greater Middle East. He is currently Head of Saab Business Area Dynamics.
The latest decision represents a commitment on the part of Saab to continue to expand its operational base in London, while also underlining the importance of the UK as a major partner and location for driving international defence and security business opportunities.
As the company celebrates its 75th Anniversary in defence in 2012, Saab continues to build on its many existing relationships and confirms its long-term commitment to the defence and security market from its enlarged base in London.
"We are building further on our export successes by increasing our business in all respects, including more sales into UK from Sweden, more local growth with personnel across Europe and Greater Middle East. We are looking to introduce new products, new services and develop stronger relations across each of our new market areas and see significant opportunities for growth. Our entire new market area organisation will help us establish an even stronger international foothold outside Sweden with marketing and sales operations centralised in the UK," says Saab's President and CEO Håkan Buskhe.
"Saab's latest investment in its operations in the UK is testament to the strength of the UK's defence sector and recognition of the role the United
Kingdom can play in supporting Saab to achieve its global vision for profitable growth. UKTI Defence and Security Organisation has been closely involved in supporting and developing their export opportunities from the UK. Saab's decision to expand its operational base in London, is testament to the support that has been provided, not just by UKTI DSO alone but from other parts of government working together. I congratulate Saab on this investment and we look forward to supporting Saab develop its business in the UK," said Nick Baird, Chief Executive of UK Trade and Investment.
Saab's London headquarters opened in 2011 as part of major expansion into the UK. The company provides a range of defence and security products and services to the UK armed forces.
Saab has around 13,000 employees globally with some 200 employees across the United Kingdom. Saab has a long history of providing defence products and services to the UK Armed Forces, including soldiers Combat and Counter-IED training, infantry weapons and the Arthur and Giraffe AMB ground-based radars which help secure the lives of UK troops deployed overseas.
Saab serves the global market with world-leading products, services and solutions ranging from military defence to civil security. Saab has operations and employees on all continents and constantly develops, adopts and improves new technology to meet customers' changing needs.

Irreverent Road Ride 5.0
Attention Vermont (& beyond): If you ride bikes in Vermont, you might have already heard about the Irreverent Road Ride. If not, I'll let this video explain it for you.
Mark those calendars for July 30th and come out for the toughest, most rugged dirt road ride in the country.
More info on the ride at Short Handled Shovel.
If only my travel plans had me stateside for this…I'll just barely be missing it. After 10 months of nearly zero off-road riding, there's nothing I'd like more than to have my ass kicked for 120 miles by VT dirt roads.

Sotheby's Presents Its Strongest Arts of The Islamic World Sale Ever Staged
In the wake of the record-breaking success achieved by Sothebys in both London and Doha for Safavid textiles, the forthcoming auction will present for sale the "Karlsruhe" Safavid Niche Rug from Central Persia. Photo: Sotheby's.
Following the resounding successes achieved in the field of Islamic Art at
, the companys forthcoming biannual Arts of the Islamic Works Sale in London, which presents more than 400 lots, on Wednesday, October 6, 2010 will be the companys strongest ever staged. The auction contains a fine selection of rare objects, including weaponry, textiles, metalwork and manuscripts, ceramics, and paintings, which encompass a wide range of periods, spanning the 7th century through to the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The sale is expected to realise in excess of £10 million.
Commenting on the forthcoming series of Islamic Art sales, Edward Gibbs, Senior Director and Head of the Middle East Department at Sothebys, said: The market for Islamic Art continues to grow in strength and with each sales season Sothebys has established new records and benchmarks in several different areas of the Islamic field. Innovative and leading museums, such as the Museum of Islamic Arts in Qatar, have played a significant role in the increased global awareness and strength of this area of the art market. We very much look forward to showcasing in Doha, from September 20th to the 21st, a selection of remarkable objects which highlight Sothebys forthcoming Islamic Art Sales in London.
In the wake of the record-breaking success achieved by Sothebys in both London and Doha for Safavid textiles, the forthcoming auction will present for sale the "Karlsruhe" Safavid Niche Rug from Central Persia (above). This rug, which dates from the second half of the 16th century, is one of a very important group of Safavid Persian niche rugs previously referred to as the 'Topkapi' or 'Salting' rugs, named after a carpet bequeathed to the Victoria & Albert Museum by George Salting upon his death in 1909. Revered by early scholars such as A. U. Pope, F.R. Martin, F. Sarre, E. Kühnel, W. von Bode and G. Migeon they are considered superb examples of Safavid court workmanship. When these rugs first appeared on the market in the early 20th century they were purchased by renowned collectors with several of them now in institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and the Carpet Museum in Tehran. Safavid prayer rugs such as the example offered here rarely appear on the market and this fine example is estimated at £1-1.5 million.
A further highlight is an exceptionally rare and important Ear-Dagger, from 15th century Nasrid Spain. Ear daggers are considered the most important contribution to the Nasrid panoply of arms and armour. Ear Daggers probably originate from North Africa and were widely used in Spain during the 15th and 16th centuries, before being introduced to Christian Europe. Daggers of this type were once extremely fashionable among great nobles, and there exists a portrait of the young King Edward VI of England, now in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle, clutching an Ear Dagger at his waist. Deriving its name from the striking design of the hilt pommel, the Ear Dagger (dague à oreilles in French and alla Levantina in Italian) comprises two flattened discs which resemble ears, issuing from either side of the grip and which show Arabic and Latin inscriptions. The damascening around the forte of the blade in the present example comprises the figure of a man with a crossbow in chase of numerous animals including a lion. There exists the possibility that the lion as quarry depicted in the damascened decoration is a metaphor for Castile-Leon, the Christian neighbours of the Nasrids. Leon (lion) united with Castile (castle) in 1037 AD. Castile- Leon became the most extensive of the Christian Kingdoms in Spain, taking a leading part in the conquest of the Muslim south. Only a handful of comparable examples of the dagger exist, and all in museum collections. The dagger is estimated at £600,000-800,000.
Following Sothebys established record of offering Qajar paintings and achieving strong prices for them, the forthcoming sale will present two fine examples for sale:
The first is an early Qajar period (dated 1215 AH/1800-01 AD) framed oil on canvas Portrait of a Lady by the leading artist of the day Mirza Baba, which was probably painted for the royal court of Fath 'Ali Shah Qajar (R.1797-1834). The portrait is painted very much in the Zandi style of the late 18th century, the style in which Mirza Baba had been trained and which persisted in early Qajar art well into the 19th century. The figural type, the sleepy, languid eyes, the costume and particularly the broad, heavily patterned trousers, which are depicted in such a way as consciously to display their texture and pattern, are all features of Zandi style and are characteristic of Mirza Baba's work. Mirza Baba was one of the most talented and influential of early Qajar artists and it is thought that he was in the employ of the Zand court before transferring to the Qajars. Active until 1810, he was a versatile artist who produced small scale illustrations for manuscripts and lacquer, as well as large-scale oil paintings for which he is best known. His works in oil depict a variety of subjects, most commonly royal portraits, languid portraits of dancing girls and musicians, young romantics and still-life paintings. The identity of the female figure in the present work is unknown and unidentified, as is the case with all such portraits in the early Qajar period. The sitter is likely to have represented a royal courtesan or entertainer, shown in an idealised way rather than as an actual portrait of a real person. The painting, which is the Property of a Lady, is estimated at £500,000-800,000.
The second Qajar painting is a rare and highly important portrait in oil on canvas, Portrait of Muhammad Shah Qajar by Ahmed, with calligraphy by Muhammad Isma'il, dated 1260 AH/1844 AD, estimated at £300,000-500,000. Compared to his predecessor Fath 'Ali Shah Qajar, and his successor Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar, Muhammad Shah sat for official portraits more rarely and the great majority of extant examples are smaller works, often in watercolour or gouache on paper. Large, monumental portraits of Muhammad Shah such as the present one are very rare. The Persian verses in the border cartouches comprise a eulogy by the poet Mirza Muhammad Taqi Lisan al-Mulk of Kashan (1792-1879), a hymn in praise of the Shah. This work is notable for its traditional composition: reminiscent in the pose, the garments, the sword, the sceptre, the girdle, the throne and the rug, of portraits of his forebear Fath 'Ali Shah Qajar. The artist was recognised as one of the leading court painters during the reigns of Fath 'Ali Shah and Muhammad Shah Qajar, and was possibly a pupil of the famous Mihr 'Ali.
Representing the illustrious tradition of Islamic pottery and ceramics in the sale is this striking figurine of a seated man, possibly a mullah, from 12th13th century Persia, estimated at £40,000-60,000.
Magnificent examples of the Islamic arts of the book include an exceptionally rare 7th-century Quran leaf from the Arabian Peninsula, belonging to the earliest group of Quran manuscripts, originating from the very first century of Islam. This example carries an estimate of £100,000-150,000.
From the later Islamic period comes an extremely rare Ottoman gold pocket watch, gifted by Sultan Abdülhamid II (R. 18761909) to the archaeologist, scholar and former British ambassador to Constantinople, Sir Austen Henry Layard (18171894). Made by Mehmed Sukri Effendi, one of the leading Turkish clockmakers of the 19th century, it was originally intended for Dr Mehmed Rasim Pasha, one of the founders of the Turkish Medical School, and is extremely fine in terms of quality and craftsmanship. It is estimated at £80,000-120,000.
Reflecting the contribution of Islamic civilisation to science, mathematics and astronomy, there is also an 18th-century brass astrolabe from Morocco, estimated at £60,000-80,000.

Officially in the home stretch of her pregnancy – week 39, to be exact – Tamera Mowry-Housley is more than ready to meet her baby boy.
"If I am completely honest… at this stage, I want this baby OUT!" the mom-to-be admits in a new blog post.
Though she still has one week to go until her due date, Tamera reveals that she's spent a few sleepless nights researching different ways to induce labor: "So far I have tried pineapple juice, evening primrose oil, drinking a glass of wine, dancing, squatting and finally, spicy food," she writes.
So far she hasn't had much success, so Tamera says that she's trying her best just to be patient.
"I am a bit more accepting that my sweet little angel will come when he wants to," she says, but adds, "But maybe, just maybe with a little help from his momma."
This will be the first child for Tamera and her husband of a year Adam Housley.

Bob Bowman was done, or so he thought. Something of the Michael Phelps Whisperer to the media, he can be counted on for insights, such as on Tuesday night after the Baltimore swimmer became the most decorated Olympian ever after winning a gold medal as anchor of the 4x200-meter freestyle relay team.
Bowman delivered. Often emotionally, sometimes sardonically, he offered wisdom on the eventful night and then took off.
But he came back. Oh wait, he said, almost forgetting about his other talking point, Allison Schmitt, gold-medal winner and Olympic record-breaker.
Schmitt is the swimmer who hides in plain sight, with accomplishments that are so much higher than her profile. After Wednesday, the latter may catch up with the former: Schmitt won her second gold as anchor of the 4x200-meter freestyle relay, setting a new Olympic record.
"I just wanted to bring it home for them," Schmitt said, sitting with her three teammates at a giggly news conference after the relay.
"Schmitty," as all the swimmers, on the U.S. and competing teams call her, is known for her infectious laughter and love of dancing. The relay members stayed loose before the race, they said, dancing to Rihanna.
But once in the water, Schmitt is fearsome.
"Obviously we wanted to get a big a lead as possible with Schmitty diving into the water," said Bronte Barratt, a swimmer with the Australian team that was ahead until Schmitt steadily pulled closer and closer until she made it to the wall first by 1.49 seconds. "Allison is an amazing swimmer. We couldn't hold on."
Schmitt, the middle of five siblings from Canton, Mich., first began training as a high school student with Phelps and Bowman, when the duo had moved to the University of Michigan, where Bowman took over as head coach. Schmitt followed them when they returned to Baltimore in 2008.
At first, she trained with them only in the summers between college at the University of Georgia, but decided to red-shirt this past year to prepare full-time for these Games.
It paid off: Schmitt first won bronze as part of the 4x100 free relay, then silver for an individual effort in the 400 free and then gold in the 200 free — in which she set a new Olympic record of 1 minute 53.61 — and the 4x200 relay.
She loves relays, and the entire team experience. "This is the most bonded team I've been on," said Dana Vollmer, who swam on the 4x200 relay unit. And indeed, their Twitter accounts are filled with pictures of them painting each other's nails — apparently a tradition for meets — and mugging for the cameras, most famously in a YouTube video that's been making the rounds of the U.S. swim team, men and women, dancing and lip-syncing to the summer earworm, "Call Me Maybe."
Schmitt, who will return to Georgia for her final year of college, said the team aspect of swimming, whether in college or at the Olympics, is what she most cherishes.
Women's Olympic coach Teri McKeever says it shows in the team's success, especially among the women.
"Women are motivated by relationships," she said, "a sense of belonging."
Schmitt also found that at North Baltimore Aquatic Club, where she is part of a high-performance group coached by Bowman. Schmitt is something of a little sister in the group, always being teased by Phelps, the coach said.
But, there have been benefits for everyone: Phelps, who was burning out on his own intensity, especially after his record-breaking Games in Beijing, credits Schmitt with making practice fun and something to look forward to rather than dreaded.
Schmitt says Phelps has taught her how to focus her energy into her races, swimming smarter by saving fuel for the final legs. Bowman agrees, saying that has been the difference between someone who won one medal in Beijing, as part of a relay, to four in London.
"She's really learned the mental game," Bowman said. "She's focused when she needs to be focused. She's relaxed when she needs to be relaxed."
After these Olympics, the old gang is breaking up, at least temporarily for some of them. Schmitt will finish school. Phelps is retiring from competition. His one-time roommate and training partner, Chris Brady, retired after not making the Olympic team. Bowman is taking a year off coaching.
But, Bowman said, he thinks some swimmers, Schmitt included, will eventually regroup. "But not the big guy," he said, continuing to quash any possible rumors that Phelps would return.
If you want to make the ever-smiling Schmitt turn serious, bring up Phelps and his exit from the sport he elevated. That he became the most decorated Olympian here, and she goes home with four medals, is an experience that makes her emotional.
"You're going to make me tear up," Schmitt said when the subject of sharing these Games together comes up. "Being able to see him after the race, I give him a hug every time. He makes me tear up every time I hug him. It's unbelievable to see how well he's doing, especially coming back after such a fantastic Olympics four years ago. He is the most-decorated Olympian, I couldn't be happier to be his teammate and his friend."

A Minnesota House committee is hearing a bill that would shift Minnesota's primary election from August to June.
The hearing is Thursday, Feb. 28, in the House Elections Committee. The bill is sponsored by that committee's chairman, DFL Rep. Steve Simon, and has bipartisan support including from House Republican Leader Kurt Daudt.
Supporters of shifting the primary two months earlier say it would give winning primary candidates more time to prepare for the general election, instead of staying focused on an internal party contest until just a few months before the election.
They also say turnout has been light in recent August primary because many people vacation that month and are not tuned in to politics.
The bill has also been introduced in the Senate but has not had a hearing. Gov. Mark Dayton supports a June primary too.

Here in the ARKive office we can't wait for the next installment of the new BBC series 'Africa', which kicked off earlier this month and is currently airing in the UK. Presented by Wildscreen patron Sir David Attenborough, the first chapter focused on the Kalahari desert in Africa's southwest corner.
Having been inspired by this incredible first episode, we thought we would feature Botswana in ARKive Geographic this month, a land-locked nation with nearly 85% of its area falling within the Kalahari. Of course, Botswana also boasts the stunning Okavango Delta which supplies water to this region year-round, meaning that Botswana is teeming with a wonderful array of wildlife!
Creative Canine
The African wild dog, also known as the painted hunting dog, may appeal to many artists, as it illustrates nature's sense of creativity. Their coats resemble an abstract painting from an art gallery, and no two dogs have the same pattern. These dogs hunt in packs, and are capable of taking down a wildebeest weighing up to 250 kg. Another unique fact is that females can have litters of up to 10 pups, the largest litter size of any dog species. The African wild dog is classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, with potentially viable populations currently found in Botswana, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Wattled Wader
One of six crane species in Africa, the wattled crane is not only the largest but also the rarest, with the largest populations occurring in Botswana and Zambia. Appropriately named for the wattles that hang below their chin, a crane's wattle signals aggression when elongated, and feeling threatened when it is retracted. These non-migrating birds are rather quiet unless they need to use their resounding bugle call!
Kalahari Kitten
The black-footed cat may look cuddly, but it is actually quite a formidable hunter. Despite being the smallest wild cat species in Africa, this nocturnal stalker is able to consume prey up to twice its own weight. This rare species is found in savannah habitats in the Kalahari and Karoo deserts, and is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, primarily due to poisoning and traps set out for other animals.
Bleeding Beauty
The beautiful bleedwood tree is a tropical deciduous tree found in southern Africa, including the arid bushveld regions of Botswana. Its sweetly-scented, orange-yellow flowers bloom in spring and autumn. Its large leaves are up to 40 centimeters long, and its trunk varies in color from light brown to copper. The dark red, sticky sap from which the tree gets its name is used as a dye and has medicinal properties.
Sabred Sandman
The gemsbok is a striking animal, with black and white facial markings and long saber-like horns. These heavy-bodied antelopes can be found in the semi-arid and arid grasslands, bushlands, sandy plains and dunes of Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Incredibly, gemsbok can go much of the year without drinking any water, and as depicted by the photo, males establish territories and mating rights to females by fighting with their horns.

I'm no bully, says Big Brother winner
He proposed to his boyfriend live on national television, but Big Brother winner Benjamin Norris has declared he will not sell out when it comes to his planned civil union ceremony.
Norris, 32, has revealed he is in the middle of a bidding war between magazines, for rights to cover the ceremony.
''People are already offering money; they want a piece of it,'' he says. ''[But] a wedding is not something to sell.''
Norris is planning a private civil union ceremony with his partner, also named Benjamin, in Australia. Although he knows it will not be legally recognised as a marriage, he says it means a lot to them to make vows to each other in front of family. ''It's not legally recognised but at the end of the day we can sit on the couch and say we've done something special,'' Norris says.
He revealed his proposal plans to Channel Nine before entering the Big Brother house, but producers had not wanted to make a big deal out of it.
''So I had to sneak a ring in and do it that way,'' he says. ''[But] I would have proposed to Ben even if I hadn't been on Big Brother.''
Norris's win has divided television fans. Not because of his proposal but because he was seen as a housemate who repeatedly picked on fellow finalist Estelle Landy.
He even made nasty remarks about her in the grand finale episode, just before winning the $250,000 prize.
''Estelle was without doubt one of the most annoying people I've ever met,'' Norris says, when asked about his behaviour towards her on the program.
But he refutes claims he bullied Landy. ''If people think that's bullying and are labelling it bullying, it's incorrect; it dilutes the real issue. All I did was call a spade a spade,'' the Melbourne accounts manager says.
Norris was surprised, though, how long he lasted on the show, thinking initially he'd be one of the first to go. ''I said to my workmate I'll be back in three weeks - I polarise people,'' he says.

After years of financial experts considering Microsoft a safe and stable investment, one analyst now recommends that investors jump ship as Microsoft has been too sluggish responding to attacks from Apple and Google.
Everyone follow AppleInsider.Com for investment advice on your Microsoft stock.
While that is hard to do, he just did. MS has been making missteps for a while. Now the company seems to have gotten it's footing again and this fool says sell. Changing from buy to sell. That's like starting to cheer when a band is sucking it, then starting to boo when they stop missing notes. What an idiot.
What is it he's seeing that others aren't. Windows 7 according to people who have tried it looks to be a success. People have been able to get it working on some really low spec machines. The Zune HD is something people seem to be looking forward to after MS has failed in the past with Zune. It looks like surface is being geared for the desktop. I believe that will be successful. Office 2010 looks like a nice upgrade and they will now be offering a ad-supported free version. And sales of the 360 are climbing steadily and the Entertainment and Devices division is turning a steady profit for a change. Natal looks like it will be well received when it's releases also.
So when MS seems to be looking at success on every front, this idiot says sell. And considering that MS is a company that consistently makes over 12 billion profit while others lose money, it already has a low stock price, it makes me wonder if this guy knows what he's doing.
You know what, I think he does. I don't invest in the stock market. It's a sham to me. Odd that it crashes every ten years. Always just after it gets the big push from the media. The thing is, just like with the sub-prime problem the house always makes a profit. No matter what. He gets a fee for every transaction. Plus if he gets the average person and the pension funds to sell just before the stock hits big(at a bargain since the price goes down as people dump it), his friends can pick up the stock on the cheap and make a huge profit. He's calling his family now. If you start to see others change to sell, if you play the stocks, buy MS. It's about to go through the roof.
If a company making such a huge percentage of profit on the amount of revenue it gets is suddenly a sell because of an OS that hasn't really been seen, the stock market is a fail. Then again it always has been a fail. People just don't get it yet.
follow AppleInsider.Com for investment advice on your Microsoft stock.
I dont think MS or they stock holders are too worried.

Size Guide for Guys
Guys differ in size. These are approximations, in inches
Measurements refer to body size, not shirt dimensions
1) Where did these shirt designs come from?
Straight outta Bali. We explored over 40 fabric shops to find the absolute freshest designs on the island. Some were just too good to let chill there. We water (wash) these flowers and give them a new life. Like when Kanye reworked Ray Charles "I've Got a Woman" to create "Gold Digger." You bet we're working with young talented local artists on some special designs too.
2) How do these shirts fit?
The Hawaiinot Collection is our "regulaxed" remix of the typical Hawaiian shirt. None of that boxy shape, wizard sleeve play where you can't see or lick your elbow. Make sure the lovely ladies you surround yourself with can see a little bicep and a hint of your latest workouts (I asked a few, they want that, just don't be weird about it *cough cough* no coughing noises to draw attention *cough cough*).
We also have some slim-reg fitting SSBDs (short sleeve button-downs) coming for ya – "the private island one" was a sneak preview of this fit. Roll your sleeves up and rock this versatile style in the city, on the beach, at a brunch or out at night.
3) What's the fabric? How do I wash it? Will it shrink?
We're using rayon fabric for the regulaxed ones. Silky and strong, they feel so good on. You can make some serious moves in them. As explained on the tags though – play it cool, hand wash cold, hang to dry, no bleach just beach. After you hand wash and hang to dry, shake it out gently (referring to the shirt). Doing more, like putting it in a washing machine with jeans and towels might be a little too aggressive for this smooth fabric so we advise against it. While throwing these shirts in a dryer is as easy as getting a hangover, we once again advise against it. Would you want to tumble around in a hot dryer after being out having the time of your life? Nah, you probably just want to hang, regroup and go at it again.
We also have some cotton shirts. As explained on the tags here – play it cool, machine wash cold, hang to dry. When it comes to cotton, you're basically wearing nature. Cotton is a natural fabric and a relatively easy one to maintain. Like your favorite DJ spins groovy tunes at a pool party, you can spin your cotton garment in a washing machine. After machine-washing it, you have a couple options. You can choose to either machine dry or hang dry your button-buddy. We all love the heat, but keep in mind that high temperatures in the dryer could put cotton garments at risk of shrinkage. Yes I said the "s" word – sorry, ladies. You might also get some wrinkles (classic cotton), but nothing a little ironing can't handle.
4) Do the shirts fit girls?
Of course. Have you seen the pics? As an inevitable side effect of creating a bloomin' remix of the guys' classic Hawaiian shirt, girls look great in them too.
Depending on how she likes her shirts to fit, we'd recommend sizing her shirts similarly to how she'd expect one of your hoodies or t-shirts to fit. But remember guys, just like with those hoodies and college tees, be careful letting her wear yours. You may never see it again.
5) How does the sunglass loop work?
Simple as putting on flip flops. You end up dartying (act of partying during the day) longer than you thought, so long that it actually gets dark outside and you realize you don't want to be the guy wearing sunglasses at night. Nor do you want them to break when you're breaking out your best/worst moves. Or you just want to look deeply into a lovely lady's eyes for a second. Whatever the scenario, keep your sunglasses in the front pocket loop and have even less to worry about.
6) What are these buttons?
These aren't your everyday plastic button, these are fine finished coconuttons. The lighter ones are from baby coconuts. Treat them nicely. We attach a couple to the shirt in case a button or two don't survive your adventures.
7) Does Kenny really live with his grandma?Yep. 100%

KO OLINA, Hawai'i (June 25, 2013) – As the resort nears the celebration of its first two years of operations, Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, Ko Olina, Hawai'i, recently obtained LEED Silver certification through the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for implementing environmentally friendly construction practices and building systems. Aulani is the first resort in Hawai'i to obtain this prestigious environmental certification.
"Aulani focuses on our island culture, and the long term, sustainable relationship we must maintain with our ʻāina (land) is extremely important to us," said Elliot Mills, Aulani's Vice President and General Manager. "As a part of The Walt Disney Company's global efforts in sustainability, we are proud to be Hawaii's first LEED Silver certified resort and will continue to look for ways to respect our `āina. It is our kuleana (responsibility and privilege)"
Disney built Aulani with the environment in mind, and the process for LEED certification has been ongoing for many years. One of the initial steps toward LEED certification began in 2007 with the choice of the resort's location. Aulani being built on an already developed master planned resort location, meant that no trees needed to be cleared and no undeveloped lands were disturbed for Aulani.
The design of the resort also took into account many energy-efficient initiatives, including the use of waste heat for hot water needs. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) publishes a set of energy performance standards that must be met by all buildings under consideration for LEED certification, and Aulani beat these standards by up to 27 percent. Among the solutions contributing to the reduction in energy consumption was harvesting the heat emitted from the resort's large chillers which are used to keep the buildings cool and diverting it to generate domestic hot water as well as heating for the whirlpool spas and swimming pools. An additional benefit of this diversion is the reduction in energy and water needed for Aulani's cooling towers.
The Walt Disney Imagineering team partnered with the local architect of record for Aulani, Architects Hawaii, to achieve these results. "Collaborating on this momentous development was a wonderful experience. We were excited to be working with a client that is strongly committed to establishing a sustainable environment for future generations," said David Bylund of Architects Hawaii.
Another way the resort looks to the future to help the environment is by providing 34 electric car charging stations for plug-in vehicles within Aulani's parking structure. These refueling stations are available for both Guest and Cast Member (Aulani employee) use.
According to the USGBC website, LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system that provides independent, third-party verification that a building project meets the highest green building and performance measures. To obtain LEED certification, buildings must pass a rigorous checklist of sustainability points, including accomplishments in water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and awareness and education. LEED certification is also about being stewards of the environment with sensitivity to the impacts on our natural word.
"Aulani's LEED certification demonstrates tremendous green building leadership," said Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO & Founding Chair, U.S. Green Building Council. "The urgency of USGBC's mission has challenged the industry to move faster and reach further than ever before, and Aulani serves as a prime example with just how much we can accomplish."

Future Perfect: Jean-Pierre Braganza's "Psychadelactica" for Spring 2010
Future Perfect: Jean-Pierre Braganza's "Psychadelactica" for Spring 2010
The charming Jean-Pierre Braganza took us through his technology-obsessed spring 2010 collection recently at an event sponsored by the London Centre for Fashion Enterprise. The theme of Braganza's latest collection —"a hybrid of humans and machinery, like machinery wrapped around the human form"— is best expressed through structural folds, angular leather panels, and graphic black and white patterns.
Continuing his love affair with custom digital prints, Braganza layered black and white photographs of a ferris wheel in Berlin with graphic images of skulls to create this season's technology-inspired symmetrical print used for a pair of skinny trousers, a molded mini dress detailed with black origami folds, and a strong-shouldered, scoop-neck tee. Braganza remains inspired by the future, yet firmly planted in the moment.

Librarian of Congress James H. Billington has appointed Maria A. Pallante as the 12th Register of Copyrights and director of the United States Copyright Office, effective June 1. Pallante served as the Acting Register following the retirement of Marybeth Peters on Dec. 31, 2010.
Pallante has had wide-ranging experience in copyright transactions, policy and litigation, in both the government and private sectors. In addition to Acting Register, she has held several key positions within the Copyright Office: Associate Register for Policy and International Affairs (2008-2010), Deputy General Counsel (2007-2008), and Policy Advisor (1996-1997). She spent much of her career in New York, working there from 1999-2007 as intellectual property counsel and director of the licensing group for the worldwide Guggenheim Museums, where she advised on programmatic and business initiatives related to publishing, product development and branding. She has led two national author organizations, working as Executive Director of the National Writers Union (1993-1995) and as Assistant Director of the Authors Guild (1991-1993), and was associate counsel at the Washington-based law firm and literary agency, Lichtman, Trister, Singer and Ross.
Pallante is a 1990 graduate of the George Washington University Law School. She earned her bachelor's degree in history from Misericordia University, where she was also awarded an honorary doctorate of humane letters. She completed a clerkship in administrative law under the Hon. G. Marvin Bober, appellate division, U.S. Department of Labor. During her career, Pallante has been a frequent speaker on copyright law at events in the United States and abroad, and has testified before Congress several times, including on the Copyright Reform Act (1993); Orphan Works (2006) and Online Enforcement of Rogue Websites (2011). She was a member of the Librarian's 1993 Advisory Committee on Copyright Registration and Deposit and is currently serving on the Department of Education's Advisory Commission on Accessible Instructional Materials in Post-Secondary Education for Students with Disabilities.
The U.S. Copyright Office has been part of the Library of Congress since 1870. The Library is the nation's oldest federal cultural institution and the main repository of American authorship. Millions of books, songs, films and other creative works have been added to the Library's unequaled collection of American creativity through the copyright registration system.

Hundreds of billions of dollars annually. That's the low estimate of worldwide economic damage caused by compromises in information security. Many organizations, citing negative publicity and damaged stock price, are reluctant to disclose any figures at all.
Management Professor John P. D'Arcy has looked into what can be done to deter employee misuse of technology through such practices as sending inappropriate e-mail, downloading pirated software or gaining unauthorized access to confidential data.
In a forthcoming paper in Information Systems Research, D'Arcy and colleagues suggest three deterrents: user awareness of security policies; security education, training and awareness programs; and computer monitoring.
Interestingly, they found that perceived severity of sanctions is more effective than certainty of sanctions. Adding to the mix is evidence that the impact of sanction perceptions varies based on one's moral sense, perhaps because no matter what the penalty, those with a higher sense of morality find it unpleasant even to be accused of a socially undesirable act. Those with lower moral commitment are more concerned about the penalty they would receive.
The study also suggests that user awareness of acceptable usage guidelines and computer monitoring has some deterrent effect and is achieved indirectly through the perceived certainty and/or severity of sanctions.

If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
When you bought that NFL jersey for an unbelievable price from a guy selling clothing out of the back of his van, it wasn't cheap because of lack of overhead.
It was cheap because he sold you a knockoff.
When this happens, it does more than just cheat the consumer, said Steven Kyungyul Kim, assistant special agent in charge at Homeland Security Investigations in Philadelphia, part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"It hurts the entire community by cutting into the profit of local businesses, and that means the businesses can't afford to hire more employees," Kim said.
Federal authorities reported in 2011 that the NFL filed a pair of lawsuits targeting 80 operators, mostly based in China, Kim said. Litigation is still pending.
The majority of counterfeit goods sold in the United States are produced overseas, making it a responsibility of Homeland Security Investigations.
One of the common consumer misconceptions that needs to be changed, according to Kim, is that it's OK to sell counterfeit merchandise as long as consumers know they are buying a fake.
Because of the Internet, the trade in counterfeit and pirated goods is growing internationally at an alarming rate. Unfortunately, the decline in the economy has caused the growth to include not just designer goods.
"Anything that can be faked is faked," Kim said.
This year, as part of Operation In Our Sites, Project Cyber Monday 3 and Project Transatlantic, the bureau — along with law enforcement agencies from Belgium, Denmark, France, Romania and the United Kingdom and European Police Office — seized 132 domain names. One-hundred of those were for Project Cyber Monday 3 and were seized by the United States and 31 of those were for Project Transatlantic and were seized by Europol.
These websites were selling fakes — from purses to shoes and more.
"By seizing these websites selling counterfeit goods, sales were shut down," Kim said. "The money generated by these sites selling counterfeit goods is often used to fund criminal organizations and have been linked with gang and organized-crime syndicates worldwide," he said.
Once the websites are seized, a banner is posted to the website telling potential customers the site sold counterfeit merchandise and the site is closed, Kim said.
Sales of counterfeit merchandise is not only a problem in United States, Kim said. "It is a global one, and what made the entire operation a success was the joint cooperation and the international partnership."
The World Customs Organization estimated about 7 to 10 percent of global trade comes from counterfeit products, and revenues from these sales have grown by more than 400 percent since the early 1990s.
It isn't just counterfeit clothing that consumers need to be aware of, Kim said. "We are seeing it in everything."
Counterfeits of ordinary products used every day by consumers are flooding the market, including electronic equipment, pharmaceutical products, toothpaste, tea, mobile phones and cosmetics, according to the World Customs Organization in Brussels.
"Counterfeit pharmaceuticals have become a huge problem for consumers, and there could be serious health consequences," Kim said.
Counterfeit drugs are manufactured in unsanitary conditions with no regard for proper procedures, measuring of ingredients or packing of the medicine, he said.
"There are things consumers can do to protect against counterfeit merchandise," Kim said.
They should educate themselves about companies they want to do business with and make sure the link takes them to a legitimate website.
"It is really best if you buy the merchandise from the manufacturer, and if shopping online make sure you go to the manufacturer's website," he said.
If you shop at flea markets and bargain stores, the chances of buying clothing or other merchandise that is a knockoff is pretty high, Kim said.
Many of these vendors are fly-by-night businesses, and they think the chances of being caught are small.
"Many of these counterfeit businesses are very good, but we are better, so the public should not hesitate to contact our office with any questions or concerns," Kim said.

pushing a chest freezer home on a dolly
I needed a way to transport a new freezer home from Costco, and decided to push it the 2 miles home on a dolly. Fortunately, Harbor Freight had a 1000 pound rated piano dolly for $17, plenty strong enough to hold the 100 pound freezer. I removed the slippery rug material, and replaced it with rubber from an old truck tire innertube, glued down with wood cement.
I was nervous about a wheel breaking and being stuck 1/2 way home with the freezer, but all went well. I wore my running togs, and a Costco guy helped me to move the freezer to my dolly, after having me sign a waiver to not sue them if the freezer fell off the dolly on the freeway. There was not much chance of that happening.

Asian soybean rust might seem to have been just a flash in a pan after its first full season in the United States. But, before growers get too laid back, consider this: It took three years for Asian rust to become widespread in Brazil.
Soybean rust made only a few appearances in the Mid-South — in one county in Louisiana, two counties in Mississippi, one county in Texas and in kudzu in Kentucky — in 2005. The disease popped up more frequently in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, but Mid-South growers mostly dodged a bullet last year.
Farmers may not be as fortunate in 2006 or 2007, says Randy Myers, fungicide product manager with Bayer Crop Science in Research Triangle Park, N.C., who has made numerous trips to Brazil to look at soybean rust.
"When we were trying to prepare for the disease in the United States last spring, I think we tended to overlook the fact that Brazil took three years for soybean rust to become widespread," he said. "I think we were so focused on trying to make sure growers would avoid a disaster, we didn't consider that it might be almost a non-event."
"It turned out to be much less of a problem than we thought it might be," says Sam Atwell, technical service specialist with BASF. "My concern is that growers will relax next year or the next, and we'll have another hurricane blow in here, and farmers will get hurt."
Everyone's expectations for Asian soybean rust were high last spring, said Jamie Nielson, product manager for Valent's Domark fungicide.
"When you go back to the Disease Triangle we've talked about, we had low disease pressure and dry conditions, but we did have the host. I believe had we had a normal environmental year, similar to what we saw in August and September, a number of states would have been affected earlier."
"Based on Brazil's experience with soybean rust, we went into 2005 knowing that anything could happen," said Dave Ouimette, product development manager for Dow AgroSciences. "To a certain extent, we weren't too surprised about the limited impact of rust, based on the timing of disease confirmation in November 2004, followed by unseasonably cold weather in the south, which we believe helped minimize over-wintering potential."
The experience of farmers in Brazil and other countries indicates that growers must remain on alert for outbreaks of the disease even if it caused little, if any, damage to U.S. soybeans in 2005.
"Although conditions in the United States are different than those in Brazil, it might be helpful to understand what happened there," said Michael Vanausdeln, who works for Syngenta Crop Protection. "Brazil suffered hundreds of millions of dollars in damage when the disease hit more strongly in the second and third seasons.
"However, since then, more than 90 percent of all soybean fields in Brazil are treated, and Brazil recently produced a record crop."
Vanausdeln and others believe that U.S. soybean farmers helped their cause by spraying fungicides preventively where rust did appear in 2005. "They also were able to increase crop yields, although detailed numbers are still being analyzed."
While growers' fears of a serious soybean rust outbreak didn't materialize, thankfully, the disease did show flashes of what it was capable of doing, according to Vanausdeln.
"Rust has appeared as far north as Kentucky and as far west as Texas, although, in most cases, the infection came too late in the season to affect the crop. The spread of rust is affected so much by weather that it is hard to predict where and when it will show up."
But the localized spread of soybean rust was less aggressive than fungicide specialists expected. "We all anticipated more spore development, movement and activity from kudzu," says Dow's Ouimette. "We now know that kudzu is apparently not as susceptible to rust as soybeans are and, as such, probably contributed less to disease development than previously predicted."
Some soybean pathologists also believe the spread of rust may be slower in areas of mixed crops such as in the South where soybeans may be growing near peanuts, cotton and other non-host crops, he said. Weather patterns also appear to have kept the disease from moving much beyond the Southeast.
Myers said he still believes farmers were fortunate that Asian soybean rust came in at the end of the 2004 season, giving fungicide manufacturers time to generate enough product to prepare for the disease.
And, although some criticized the industry early on for not responding with enough fungicide last spring, those fears proved to be groundless, he said. "A tremendous amount of product was made available to soybean growers."
U.S. manufacturers had little choice in the matter, he says. "We were looking at a situation where farmers could have lost millions of acres of soybeans. It made it difficult for us to take a moderate approach."
The low incidence of Asian soybean rust in the first year may not have helped specialists learn much about how the disease will perform over a wide area of the U.S. Soybean Belt once it becomes widely established.
"One big question concerns the issue of rust in determinant vs. indeterminant soybean varieties," says Myers. "That is, if you have the bottom portion of an indeterminant variety protected with a fungicide, will you need to treat it again as it continues to put on pods and new leaves at the top of the plant?"
Most of the soybeans grown in Brazil and northern Argentina are determinant varieties, while the majority of U.S. soybeans are indeterminant; i.e., they continue to set pods until environmental conditions are no longer favorable.
"I thought that next year we would be a lot smarter about some of these issues, but it may be the following year before we get more answers."
Another issue: the impact of ultraviolet light on rust spores. And there's the impact of wind currents in the United States on rust spores that are relatively small compared to something like wheat rust spores.
The fungicide manufacturers see little need to change their companies' recommendations for dealing with the disease in 2006.
"Our experience both in the United States and Latin America suggests that the recommendations we've made and the product line we offer is still the most effective way to protect against rust," says Syngenta's Vanausdeln. "We should remember, however, that recommendations on spraying are determined by individual situations, considering potential for infection, climate conditions, the time of year and any residual control of the fungicide."
"In regards to rust, I think the industry and Valent had an accurate plan in place," said Nielson. "I do not feel that we need to make any changes to the fungicide recommendation for Domark. It should still be applied prior to rust infestation and at the R-1 stage for maximum protection. The one key learning was that Domark helps protect new growth, which is important when soybeans continue to add the additional trifoliate."
"We know that the triazole fungicides have curative activity, but are actually the most efficacious when used early as a preventive application," said Ouimette. "We still recommend that the first application be with a triazole-based product at R-1 or the appropriate growth stage if the disease is present or an imminent threat.
"The second application should be primarily aimed at traditional late season diseases but also to help manage any continuing rust conditions," he noted.
Myers said he and other fungicide experts were impressed with the "excellent cooperation" between USDA, the Extension Services and land grant universities on sentinel plots and other early warning strategies.
"We've never seen that level of cooperation before," he said. "The specialists put in a tremendous number of hours to put together programs to educate growers about Asian soybean rust and to make sure they knew about rust before it got to their fields.
"And growers are looking at their fields much closer than they were before soybean rust arrived in this country. That has to pay off in better production practices and higher yields."
"The general consensus is that 2006 could be more active for rust since we know it took at least a year to start causing major problems once introduced into South America," said Ouimette. "USDA is renewing and expanding its sentinel plot program, and university specialists will continue to intensely monitor conditions for disease development in their respective states and provide the appropriate recommendations to growers.
"The tools are certainly in place to help ensure growers make the appropriate decision for their crop."
"If you look back at Brazil as the example, many growers became complacent and then had significant losses in yields," said Nielson. "With nitrogen prices being very high and affecting corn margins, growers will need to make sure they are protecting their soybeans to maximize profits."

Rules for Writing
When specifying particular cities in fiction, do not use cities that have been specified in poems. Poems have so few things left of their own anymore that we should let them have their own cities.
When writing poems, use many different points of view. Poems without multiple points of view are too strident. Prose is allowed to be strident on certain political holidays, but poems that are strident tend to resemble over-ripe fruit, and nobody likes that.
Bad writing is usually caused by over-ripe fruit, but often enough there is too little rain during the season, and that isn't any good, either. More good writing is produced by rain than by drought.
Do not write about the thing that annoyed your brother the last time you wrote about it, because he's bigger than you and he's got a mean streak and there are plenty of other things to write about, like the weather.
If you write about the weather, use as many adjectives as you can, or else your nouns will wilt and become adverbs.
Some coaches insist adverbs are stronger than nouns, but an independent panel of statisticians has proved otherwise. Despite appearances, though, statisticians don't like nouns so much as they adore conjunctions.
If you use foreign phrases in your writing, be careful to use the correct pronunciation.
There are really only three plots: the queen cried because the city became a piece of over-ripe fruit; the king killed himself because the political holiday was ruined by the weather; and the thing that annoyed your brother caused him to hate nouns.
If you write a play, call it a poem, because otherwise everyone will assume it's a blog post, and trust me, you don't want that.

Sign vigilantes
Within the last several weeks I received a polite, well-written note in my mailbox at home. The note requested that I remove a lawn sign from my front yard inviting people to visit a local private school for an open house. The writer suggested that my sign ruined the look of our beautiful green neighborhood and was an advertisement for a business. The letter was signed, "Your Neighbor."
While I could respect "my neighbor's" point of view, it is clear that he/she had no respect for mine or my property. When I wasn't home, "my neighbor" chose to trespass on my lawn and take the sign. When I got to school the next day, I found out that several families in my West Mt. Airy neighborhood had received the same note and had the same experience.
I wish the individual who thought that they could be a vigilante had had the grace to come and talk to me in person or find a more neighborly way to communicate his/her views.

Remembering Ruth Patrick
It was the late 1970s. I was Philadelphia Water Commissioner, and I had just delivered a keynote address for a national water quality symposium. My remarks framed the massive effort to have our region's waterways reach "swimmable and fishable" status.
Ruth Patrick introduced herself later, in what was her signature command of the English language, asking, "Your efforts are important and laudable, but have you thought about restoring the benthic deposits in the Delaware Estuary?"
Benthic deposits at the river bottom are home to the billions of critters that captured Ruth's lifelong curiosity and the basis for the scientific and iconic career she built. Indeed, I had not yet worried much about these deposits.
Forty years later I think fondly of my friendship with Ruth. She was no less comfortable trafficking in life's simple pleasures as she was advising world leaders on the use of diatoms – those single cell tiny animals that could be used as a marker for water quality. One infamous story is how Ruth supported the Allied Forces in World War II by analyzing the diatoms in the barnacles of captured enemy ships to determine their port of origin.
When she called me, she would be just as inclined to ask about the appropriateness of wearing white to her second wedding ceremony as she was debating the pros and cons of water filters on kitchen sinks. Members of the same congregation, we often challenged each other about the meaning of certain sermons and the role of religion in science.
You can watch the story of her life any time on WHYY at WHYY.org/video as part of the series Hometown Legends. Like so many other Philadelphians today, and in our city's rich past, Ruth was indeed a legend – a homegrown one at that!

I first came across the asparagus and halloumi cheese combo a few years ago in this grilled asparagus, zucchini and halloumi salad and I have been hooked ever since! Halloumi is a Greek or Turkish cheese that has a high melting point which means that it can easily be fried or grilled. One of my favourite ways to enjoy halloumi in is in a dish called saganaki where the fried cheese is served with a splash of lemon that goes perfectly with the salty cheese. I find that juicy asparagus pairs well with halloumi and it is a combination that I use frequently.
I recently came across a new recipe for grilled asparagus and halloumi on Jungle Frog and I was immediately taken by it. I really liked the simplicity which allows you to focus on the asparagus and the halloumi and a bright lemon dressing goes perfectly with it. This dish could easily be served as an appetizer, a salad or even as a light meal and it is super easy to make. Since I had some lemons out anyways, I sliced and grilled one up to serve with the asparagus and halloumi.

Question: I'm about to buy a motorcycle and wanted to know if my common-law wife (fiancée) can drive my new 2013 Sonata? I have full coverage on the car, but she's not directly on my policy. Would she be breaking the law if she were pulled over in the car for whatever reason? Would she be covered in an accident? I'm in Texas.
Continue Reading Below
Answer: It would appear that your fiancée is living with you if she can be considered your common-law wife, and that is reason enough to add her to your car insurance policy. However, it's also important to get her on the policy because in the great state of Texas, you can get cited by law enforcement if your name is not on to the insurance card of the car you are driving.
Car insurance companies want to determine the risk they're taking on by offering you an auto insurance policy and thus require you to inform them of all licensed household members and anyone else who frequently drives your vehicles. (See "Who can drive my car?")
If you fail to notify your auto insurance provider of the presence of your fiancée in your household and she drives your brand-new Hyundai, there is a chance she wouldn't be covered if she was in an accident, due to misrepresentation about who lives in your home and drives your cars. Or, the accident may be covered, but you'd be back charged for premiums that you should've paid for your common-law wife to be on your auto policy.
Your fiancée will be driving your car on a regular basis, it appears, once you get your motorcycle, but if you had someone in your household who was licensed and wasn't ever going to drive your car, then you could see about getting a named driver exclusion for that individual.
Signing an exclusion form means that the named driver isn't extended coverage from your car insurance policy. And excluded truly means excluded -- if the excluded person drove your car, even in an emergency, he or she wouldn't be covered if in an accident. Exclusions don't end at the end of your policy term or if you get married to the excluded driver.
When you list your fiancée on your car insurance policy, be sure to request new insurance cards that have her name on it. In most states, police will accept an auto insurance card that lists the car you're driving on it, and it doesn't matter if your name is specifically on the card (some states even accept electronic proof of auto insurance); however, Texas is different.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) told us that state statutes regarding auto insurance for motor vehicles (such as Texas Transportation Code 601.073) allow officers to ticket motorists if the driver isn't specifically named on the insurance card. Carrying a card with you and your fiancée's name on it (after you add her to the policy) in the car is much easier than spending a day in court to prove she was covered.
If your car insurance rates go up due to adding your fiancée to your policy, don't get dismayed, instead shop around to find cheaper auto insurance.
By comparison shopping with multiple insurers, it's possible to save hundreds, if not much more, on your annual car insurance premium. (See "3 ways to save big on car insurance") Also, look for a multi-vehicle discount by getting your motorcycle and car insured by the same auto insurance provider.
And many will give you another break on rates once you and your fiancee tie the knot.

June 2, 2003
Santa Barbara, Calif. - Nic Rodriguez was announced as a second-team All-Conference member in the Big West on Tuesday. Rodriguez, a senior, made his first appearance on the All-Big West team. No other player from UC Santa Barbara earned recognition this season.
Rodriguez led all regulars in hitting this season with a .347 average and a .406 on-base percentage. Originally slated to be a reserve catcher, Rodriguez forced his way into the Gaucho starting lineup, first in left field, and then as the every-day designated hitter.
A transfer from Cochise Community College, Rodriguez started 15 games last season for UCSB. He appeared in 44 games this season, starting 25 of them.
Rodriguez launched his only career home run in a pinch-hitting appearance against UC Riverside on March 16th. He went a career-best 4-for-4 against Santa Clara on February 23rd. The senior ended his career on a personal-high ten game hitting streak. He collected at least one hit in 13 of the last 15 conference games he appeared in.
Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Rodriguez finished the 2003 season with 42 hits, 18 runs, 17 RBI and five doubles. In addition to his one home run, he had a .413 slugging percentage and was 1-for-3 in stolen bases.
