Thank you all for your advice – I've decided to stay where I am (for now).
I'm doing a job I really enjoy but have a seven year contract in a city that I really dislike. I've been trying to decide whether I should apply for another training job elsewhere in the country and give up my training contract where I am.
A couple of weeks ago, I had pretty much made up my mind that I was going to leave this to seek work elsewhere, but now I've changed my mind and the reasons are as follows.
The Royal College of Anaesthetists have always said they thought that some changes to anaesthetic training made by MMC were a crock of shit. Specifically, they didn't agree with idea of a 7-year "run-through" training programme (this is the type of contract that I currently hold) and, backed by the Tooke Report, they've decided to get rid of this. Those, like me, who managed to get a "run-through" job in 2007 will have their contracts honoured, but there will be no more 7-year training programmes offered. Instead, training will be "decoupled" and split into two consecutive 2- and 5-year contracts. Doctors would have to reapply at the end of the 2-year "basic" training part. The idea is that it gives doctors in training a chance to change locations or specialties part-way through their training.
In a nutshell, the abolition of "run-through" training gives me an opportunity to move to a different part of the country in 2009 and this is what I plan to do. I'm going to stay here in NewCity for another year and then apply for registrar (ST3) jobs elsewhere next year.
Last year, the application process made my life a misery for months and months and the thought of doing it all again now makes my heart sink – especially as competition for places is going for be even fiercer this year.
It won't be plain sailing though. In order to be eligible to apply for jobs starting August 2009, I'll need to have passed both parts of the fiendishly difficult anaesthetic post graduate primary exams before January of next year. Because of the timing of the exams, this means that I'll have to pass both sections on my first attempt, plus I'll have to sit the first part after only a few months of anaesthetics. It's going to be a huge ask but I think that the prize of Escape from NewCity will spur me on to study harder than I've ever studied before!
So, it seems I've found the "3rd way" as a solution to my problem. I'm going to stay put for another year and aim to leave next summer. This means that I won't have to stay in this crap city for the remainder of my youth, but at the same time, I won't have to navigate the medical job application system four times in four years either. The down side is that I'll spend most of the next 12 months in the library studying like a fiend.
In the meantime, I'm going to follow the advice of some readers to this blog. I'm going to get a new hobby or two, get a girlfriend, kick back and appreciate what I have achieved so far. After all, I'm doing something I love every single day and getting paid for it.
Now, how many people can honestly say that?

The price of gold is at a nine-month high after the head of the European Central Bank suggested that its bond-buying program could benefit Spain.
Gold for December delivery rose $16.70 Thursday to finish at $1,796.50 per ounce, the highest level since late February. Several analysts expect gold to continue to post gains.
Investors often buy gold as a hedge against inflation. The price has risen about 6.5 percent since the start of September, shortly before the ECB and the Federal Reserve unveiled new programs aimed at improving economic growth.
ECB President Mario Draghi said Spain has made progress toward controlling its finances in a short period of time. He also said that the ECB could help control high debt costs for financially strapped countries, but it's up to individual countries to request help. The ECB left its key interest rate for the 17 countries that use the euro at 0.75 percent.
Spain's leaders have delayed a request for emergency bailout money because of concerns that the government may be required to comply with harsh austerity conditions in exchange for the money.
Most commodities ended higher in part because of a weaker dollar. Since commodities are priced in dollars, a weaker dollar makes them more of a bargain for traders who use other currencies.
In December contracts, silver rose 41.1 cents to finish at $35.101 per ounce and palladium gained $16.85 to $674.75 per ounce. January platinum increased $31 to $1,725.10 per ounce. December copper was essentially flat at $3.786 per pound.
In other trading, the price of oil surged 4.1 percent after Turkey's military fired on targets in Syria for the second day.
Benchmark oil rose $3.57 to end at $91.71 per barrel, heating oil rose 12.2 cents to $3.1884 per gallon and natural gas rose 1.1 cents to $3.406 per 1,000 cubic feet. Wholesale gasoline jumped 14.34 cents, or 5.1 percent, to $2.9429 per gallon.
In agricultural crop contracts, December wheat fell 3.75 cents to $8.6925 per bushel, December corn rose 0.25 cent to $7.57 per bushel and November soybeans gained 19.75 cents to $15.515 per bushel.

Inside the Kenzo x H&M event
Dancers, musicians and models joined forces with A-listers Lupita Nyong'o, Joe Jonas, Chloë Sevigny and many others, to celebrate the launch of this year's most sought-after collection. Here's the full recap – minute by minute.
For Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, it's a jungle out there. So, why not look good in it? On Wednesday 19 October, the creative duo showed a new limited-edition collection to celebrities, fans and friends of the brand, debuting Kenzo x H&M on Pier 36 in New York. Vibrant, explosive, diverse, ecstatic—it was wild.
7:00pm: As the sun set on a deliciously warm day in New York, scores of men in tiger-printed trousers and women in embroidered dresses descended on Pier 36 on the tip of the island. But the event that has gathered them up here isn't some fringe festival. Within the hour, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, who, oh, look, have just arrived, will debut their collection for H&M. And the occasion has baited all the coolest cats to come out and play.
7:06pm: A fresh-faced Elizabeth Olsen has turned up evidently well-rested and ready to celebrate, decked out in a set of silk pyjamas and velvet pumps. A passerby appraises her and offers her one-word assessment: "Dreamy."
7:14pm: Chance the Rapper makes his way down the black carpet, outfitted in a sweater and jeans and, of course, his usual swagger. As one of the faces of the collection, Chance is particularly enthused to be here. And when someone compliments his dress, he beams.
7:19pm: Behind him, model RJ King and artist Charli XCX have joined the festivities. The latter admits that her jacket—an exuberant pink and animal-print confection—is keeping her quite warm. "But it's worth it," she adds, insisting this writer feels its sumptuous collar. She's "in the mood" to celebrate, looking forward to the release of her newest track. After the Afterparty is due out next week. "I'm ready to dance," she promises. Ahead of her, RJ King chimes in that he's perhaps never been more relaxed at a fashion event. He's clad in a t-shirt and jeans, a white sweatshirt tied around his waist. "This is pretty amazing," he says, pointing at the sweatshirt. "But each piece is so dope."
7:22pm: The atmosphere is raucous—an explosion of wild colour and sound. DJ duo The Misshapes are so taken that they've barely made it past the door when they resolve to take a selfie. They tap and wait for the animal-themed filters, of course. "We've known Carol and Humberto forever," Geordon Nicol of The Misshapes gushes. "They've always been the same—their kindness, their energy, their inclusivity."
"Their generosity," Leigh Lezark adds. "They're just the greatest."
7:27pm: Suboi, the rapper who Humberto Leon and Carol Lim tapped to front the collection, leaves her arms free and wears her elaborate coat over her shoulders. Given the weather, it's more for decoration than function. "But if it monsoons later," she hazards, trailing off. She's ready to take on the elements.
7:33pm: Rosario Dawson vogues for a dozen cameras, revelling in the glow of what seems like a million flashbulbs. Pop-pop-pop—Dawson strikes pose after pose. "Kenzo is just outrageous and out of this world," she declares. "To have this collaboration and have that reach—it's fun, it's wild, it's raw. It's insane." Dawson, who stars in ads for the collection, smiles once more for the cameras. But she abandons the photos for a moment when she spies Lupita Nyong'o just a few feet away. The Queen of Katwe star has materialised in a floral-and-animal-print mini dress from the collection that will soon be for sale all over the world. Nyong'o is thrilled. "Style shouldn't have a price tag," she insists. "Yes!" Dawson cries
7:38pm: Meanwhile, Joe Jonas has joined the fun. And while he's happy to socialise for a few minutes, he admits that he's most excited to find his seat and see the show. "It's two of my favourite brands—Kenzo and H&M," he says, adding that he has his eyes on a few of the reversible items for his own closet. "To be here in New York City to watch it happen, it's amazing."
7:50pm: Lucky boy! He barely has to wait. Minutes after his arrival, the crowd is ushered into an all-black arena. At the centre of it all is a literal black box—a mystery draped in black cloth and anticipation. In his front row seat, Jonas clasps his hands together. It's showtime.
7:57pm: The room goes dark and a beat—at first quiet and then much, much louder—reverberates. The music swells. Above our seats, a string quartet has started to play. And across the space, a conductor in a tiger-striped beanie waves his baton to direct the madness.
7:59pm: And then! The curtain drops, revealing a pack of beatboxers and trumpeters in head-to-toe Kenzo. The loudspeakers blast Sam Spiegel's exultant remix of Express Yourself, cuing pairs of dancers to strut into the space. The show—some cross between an interpretive dance and an ecstatic pep rally—at once bears the hallmarks of Humberto Leon and Carol Lim and pays tribute to brand founder Kenzo Takada, whose mix of theatrics and fashion enchanted his fans over four decades ago.
8:00pm: A collaboration between Jean-Paul Goude, who shot the collection, and Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, the 20-minute set is a composed medley of artists, models, instrumentalists and even an entire drum line. Out in the wild, the clothes come alive.
8:02pm: Whistle blow and the music speeds up—a frenzy. Ferocious, a section of the crowd howls. Rosario Dawson claps her hands and taps her toes to the infectious beat.
8:11pm: Models in furry bomber jackets and a zoo of prints take a twirl around the room, this time swinging two, three, four Kenzo totes each. If the audience for a moment lost themselves to the music, they quickly remembered what they came for. To shop!
8:14pm: And when a streak of women in the same floor-skimming printed dress appears, fashion icon Chloë Sevigny leans forward and grins. She's wearing it, too. Next to her, Dawson gives her a squeeze. Look!
8:15pm: As the tempo inches ever faster, the full cast races back into the room. This time, Leon and Lim follow. As the crowd hollers and claps, a shower of confetti rains down. Elsewhere, Suboi raises her arms skyward—she got her monsoon.
8:21pm: Moving at warp speed, a swarm of bartenders set up full bars around the perimeter of the room. Beers and drinks circulate while the dancers, elated, make a break for mini takeout boxes. Dumplings, meatballs, popcorn—the platonic post-show sustenance.
8:26pm: But some attendees forgo the food for now. They'd rather shop. Behind a set of curtains, a pop-up store is now open for business.
8:35pm: Charli XCX examines a stack of squiggle-printed sunglasses. Yes, she decides. She needs these, tossing them into her mesh shopping tote.
8:38pm: "What do I need to get?" a woman in head-to-toe leather wants to know. "Everything," cries her companion.
9:01pm: Laden with goodies, show-goers stream back into the hall just in time for a surprise Ice Cube concert. A crush of fans and dancers and famous faces, and even Humberto Leon, rush the floor, a tribute to the environment that the brand has created in the midst of a more sombre season. "I needed this!" Dawson shouts. Us, too.
9:24pm: Preferring the Kenzo Jungle to the metropolis beyond it, the masses are in no rush to leave. So, we dance. And even this writer lets loose. But it's not all animalistic oblivion and wild abandon. We have purchases to watch over! These are precious goods. Leopards—we never change our spots.
The KENZO x H&M collection features fashion accessories for both men and women, and will be available in selected stores and on hm.com starting 3 November.

Dow Reaches Five-Year High

Alumnus releases new documentary about at-risk youth
July 03, 2012
- NW Film Center
Award-winning filmmaker Brian Lindstrom B.A. '84 premiered his newest documentary, Writing Myself, in Portland in June. The communication major has produced many short and feature-length documentaries, focusing primarily on addiction, mental disability, and at-risk youth.
Writing Myself chronicles a group of students at Portland's Alliance School, a nontraditional high school, who created original theatrical works with help from professional writing coaches and actors. Drawing from personal experience, each student wrote, cast, and directed a play over the course of two weeks during a program with PlayWrite, Inc.
"I'm fascinated with people who transcend human frailty and other setbacks to discover their truer, better selves, accessing strength and wisdom previously unknown to them," says Lindstrom of his own work. "My films attempt to answer the question, 'How does a person grow?'"
Lindstrom has taught at the Northwest Film Center and has lectured at the College on occasion. His much-anticipated film Alien Boy: the Death and Life of James Chasse is currently in editing for release.
Learn more about Writing Myself, or visit Brian Lindstrom's official website.

The modern guy's golfing gear shouldn't look like it was pilfered from dad's closet.
Enter Sub70, a collection of colorful golf duds made for young guns (think Justin Timberlake) that also works when worn off the green.
The line was hatched in England and is making its U.S. debut at the Ron Robinson boutique in Los Angeles this weekend, courtesy of a licensing agreement between the British brand and stateside entrepreneur Randy Gordon, formerly responsible for bringing the Milan-based ToyWatch brand to the U.S.
Ranging in price from $30 for a leather belt with a logo-emblazoned enamel buckle to $90 for a lean fit, flat-front micro-fiber trouser, the collection boasts a slim, Euro fit and retro 1960s-inspired aesthetics.
Tartan-print trousers (in a slightly stretchy polyester-spandex blend) and button-up polo shorts with collars and pockets in contrasting colors are more reminiscent of Arnold Palmer's day than Tiger Woods'.
"I think [the collection] fills a void, both style-wise and price-wise," Gordon said, adding, "I also feel it has strong crossover appeal in the lifestyle market, appealing to the fashion customer as well."
Pants and shorts feature flat-fronts and a dropped back yoke with angled pockets for a sportswear-influenced fit. Fabrics for shirts and pants are athletic — wicking away moisture and keeping the wearer cool — but not so sporty that they couldn't be worn to a barbecue after you've killed it on the golf course.
The Sub70 collection is available on the company's website and at Ron Robinson at Fred Segal, 8118 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles. (323) 651-1800. 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday; noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Jack Spade Saturday: Just in time for Father's Day, men's fashion and accessories brand Jack Spade has opened its first Orange County store at Fashion Island. The shop features classic sportswear, wallets, key chains, travel kits and its famously pared-down man-satchels, including brief cases, messenger bags, computer cases and duffles.
401 Newport Center Dr., Newport Beach. 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.

The two-floor location will stock women's, men's and children's clothes, and will feature distinct sections for lingerie, maternity, athletic wear and accessories. In celebration of opening day, the store will offer the first 100 shoppers in line an H&M T-shirt and a gift card valued from $10 to $300.
1480 Plaza Drive, West Covina. (626) 962-6053. 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.

Dance Theatre of Harlem Open House
Dance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble, a 16 member company comprised of younger dancers trained in the DTH style is currently performing on its 2010 national tour.
Dance Theatre Of HarlDance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble, a 16 member company comprised of younger dancers trained in the DTH style is currently performing on its 2010 national tour.
em's Open House
Special To The Black Star News
[Entertainment: Dance]
The Dance Theatre of Harlem will continue its monthly Open House Series on Sunday, April 11th at 3p.m. at the Everett Center for the Performing Arts, located at 466 West 152nd Street, between Amsterdam and St. Nicholas Avenues.
Tickets are $18 for adults and $14 for children 12 years old and under. The program will feature performances by award-winning performer Daniel Beaty, the Harlem String Quartet and the Dance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble. Daniel Beaty will host the event.
The Harlem String Quartet, comprised of First Place Laureates of the Sphinx Competition, has a unique and challenging mission: to advance diversity in classical music while engaging young and new audiences through the discovery and presentation of varied repertoire, highlighting works by minority composers.
The Harlem Quartet made their acclaimed debut in the fall of 2006 at the Sphinx Organization's Gala Concert at Carnegie Hall, earning rave reviews from The New York Times, as well as at the legendary Apollo Theatre in Harlem. In addition to being avid chamber musicians, each member of the Harlem Quartet is a seasoned solo artist, having appeared with the New York Philharmonic, the Atlanta, Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Sinaloa de las Artes (Mexico) and Baltimore Symphonies and the Boston Pops, among others. They are co-managed by Sciolino Artist Management (SAM) of New York City and the Sphinx Organization.
Daniel Beaty is an award winning actor, singer, writer, and composer. His critically acclaimed solo play Emergency (formerly Emergence-SEE!) directed by Kenny Leon ran off-Broadway to a sold-out, extended run at The Public Theater in the fall of 2006. For this production, he received the 2007 Obie Award for Excellence in Off-Broadway Theater for Writing & Performing and the 2007 AUDELCO Award for Solo Performance. New York Magazine awarded him a 2007 Culture Award for Best in Theater. Daniel has toured Emergency nationally and internationally. As an actor, singer, and poet, Daniel has worked throughout the U.S., Europe, and Africa performing on television, acting in theatrical productions, singing leading roles in operas, and giving solo concerts of his own work. He holds a BA with Honors in English & Music from Yale University and an MFA in Acting from the American Conservatory Theatre (ACT).
The 3:00 Performance will be followed by a reception with the artists. Refreshments served. Dance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble, a 16 member company comprised of younger dancers trained in the DTH style is currently performing on its 2010 national tour.

Captain's Report
Mission of the Boston Whaler 230 Vantage
Hard as it is to believe, the new 230 Vantage (and her 270 Vantage big sister) will be the first dual console models in the current Boston Whaler fleet. The 230 is a multi-functional boat designed to do everything from serious coastal fishing to leisurely cruising, sunning, on-board entertaining and watersports. By maximizing interior volume inside a 8'6" (2.59 m) beam, creating a cockpit depth of 28" (70 cm), having a private head compartment, and making all seating extra plush and versatile, the 230 should be inviting for the whole family. By offering a long list of activity-specific options, boaters can literally build a 230 Vantage that fits their specific watersports activities.
Performance Test
I tested the 230 with just over 80 gallons of fuel, no water, two people and minimal gear which gave us a test weight of approximately 4,820 lbs. (2,190 kgs.) The weather was not cooperating and winds steadily blew from 15 to 20 knots throughout the day which meant that we would not be able to get maximum speed out of the boat because of the sloppy conditions. We call that a "real world" test.
Prop Geometry is Important.
The first thing that was readily apparent about the 230 is how well she feels at any speed. Our test power was a single Mercury Verado 300-hp outboard turning a 14 ¼ X 18 four-blade Revolution prop. Since the 230 was designed as a utility dual console, Boston Whaler's choice of the four-bladed prop indicated that they were going for low-end torque, rather than top-end speed, exactly what many towing enthusiasts would do.
The Numbers.
I recorded a top speed at wide open throttle of 43.1 mph at 5950 rpm while burning 29.80 gph. Best cruise from a miles-per-gallon standpoint was at 4000 rpm where we recorded a speed of 26.6 mph while burning 10.2 gph giving us a range of 260 statute miles. I found however that I was driving most of the day at approximately 5000 rpm with a speed of 37.3 mph while burning 18.3 gph which reduced my range to 203 statute miles.With the 230 Vantage in sportboat mode, most towing will be done between 18 and 22 mph. At these speeds our rpms were between 3500 and 3700 with an average fuel burn of approximately 7.0 gph. I should note that the 230 was a very solid ride at this towing speed.
Turning was precise and she smoothly eased in and out of each turn leveling back quickly from a minimal roll. When accelerating from a dead stop she lifted out of the water with an ever-so-brief bow rise of 20 degrees, caused largely by the increased torque of the four-blade prop. The bow quickly came down on plane and the 230 had a nearly flat running angle.
Will She Be Wet?
In hard over turns she pushed into a roll and came around smoothly with no pounding, even when coming back around and turning out over my own wake. In addition to the wind and chop, there was a large amount of big boat traffic on the ICW which churned the water up even more. The 230 Vantage didn't seem to notice as she pushed through. The spray was kept low and was thrown well to the sides keeping the interior of the boat and the occupants dry. I tried hard to see if I could get spray into the boat by cutting through the wake of our camera boat, but no luck. This boat was dry despite the stiff breeze.This is an all-new hull design for Boston Whaler and I could not find any bad habits during our test. To the contrary, she seemed remarkably stable both in a slop and even when tied up at the dock and hit by a passing wake.
Distinguishing Features
We have investigated five other boat brands that build dual console boats in the same class (size and price point) as the Boston Whaler 230 Vantage in order to discover areas where the 230 is different. What we found was that in many ways the boats appear similar on paper, but when specific features are checked there are a number of elements that set the 230 Vantage apart from the rest. ●
Off-center Windshield Walkthrough.
Because the windshield walkthrough has been moved slightly to starboard the 230 Vantage is the only dual console in class that has a double-wide companion seat and a commensurately larger head compartment. But the differences do not end there.●
Wide Bow on Deck.
All of the dual consoles in class have a conventional pointy bow, unlike the 230 Vantage. Boston Whaler has designed the boat this way in order to get more room in the bow for entertaining and casting. Not only can more people sit comfortably in the bow around the optional table, but when the optional sun lounge is in place it makes a huge sun bathing platform. The wide bow also makes handling the anchor easier as well as providing a large space for the optional beach boarding ladder.
Large Swim Platform.
A compromise that virtually all outboard-powered boats have is the lack of a large swim platform. The reason, of course, is because the outboard engine or engines take up most of this prime real estate. The problem has been greatly mitigated on the 230 in two major ways. First, the boat is designed to be powered by a single engine, not twins, which permits a much wider platform to be placed on either side. Second, the 230 has a flat "walkway" surface behind the transom and forward of the outboard well which allows easy transit from one side of the boat to the other. ●
Transom Gate.
Boston Whaler has made it easier to access the swim platform by putting in a transom gate on the starboard side, the only boat in class to do so.
Through-the-Stem Anchor System.
The 230 Vantage has its anchor mounted below the deck in the stem of the boat. This keeps both the anchor and anchor roller off the deck and makes for a smooth and easy way to both deploy and retrieve the ground tackle.
The new Boston Whaler 230 Vantage dual console weighs 5,595 lb. (2,538 kgs.) with an outboard engine. With an 8'6" (2.59 m) beam she is the right size for towing down the highway without a permit in all states. A mid-sized SUV can tow the rig. The 230 Vantage has an optional aluminum trailer package with dual torsion axles, disc brakes, LED lights, radial tires and a spare.
Power Options
The 230 Vantage comes standard with a 225-hp XL L6 DTS Mercury Verado 4-stroke outboard with power steering. A SmartCraft deluxe gauge package is standard. We think that is all the power most boaters will need with this vessel, but for those who want more, Boston Whaler offers a 250-hp Mercury Verado and a 300-hp Verado. (The latter one should be used with 91-octane fuel.)The boat has a fuel capacity of 111 gallons (421 L).
Level Flotation if Swamped
All open boats can run some risk of being swamped in unusual conditions offshore, in challenging inlets, or from improper boat handling (such as anchoring by the stern). Boston Whaler publishes the "Swamped Capacity" of each of its boats. In the case of the 230 Vantage, it is 4,000 lbs (1,814 kgs.) which means that the boat can support that much weight in addition to the weight of the boat and water in a swamped condition. BoatTEST.com has made a good video on how Boston Whalers are built, including a section on how the foam flotation material is injected into the boat. See it here…
Noteworthy Standard Equipment
The 230 has far too many items of standard equipment to list here but a few items stand out as being particularly noteworthy. Of particular interest is the Cockpit Utility Center. This console has a cutting board, sink and 36-quart cooler. The head has an interior light and a molded-in sink with drain, storage hooks and a portable head with pump out. Other important standard equipment includes recessed electric trim tabs with indicators, a SmartCraft deluxe gauge package and a stainless steel prop for the outboard.
Activity-Specific Option Packages
The 230 Vantage has been designed from the keel-up to be a multi-purpose boat and for that reason the basic boat can be taken in several different directions by the options selected by the owner. Consumers who want to be more serious about fishing or watersports can select a single package tailor-made for their specific pursuit.
The standard boat has rod holders and gunwale bolsters. The cockpit sole compartment on the centerline can be used for rod storage and is lockable. To this can be added the "Fishing Package" which includes a 14 gallon livewell, a prep station, raw water washdown, stainless steel toe rails and transom-mounted rod holders.
Towing Sports.
There is an aft-facing seat on the port side for a spotter and a locker in the sole for skis and wakeboards. It also doubles as storage for fishing rods. To this can be added an optional "Watersports Tower" which is welded aluminum, has a tow bit, navigation lights and 4 more rod holders. Wakeboarders will probably want to add tower-mounted speakers and wakeboard racks.
Day Boating and Entertaining.
The 230 Vantage has a USCG rated capacity for 10 people and on this boat that means 10 adults can be comfortably seated. The standard "utility center" is a good place to prepare sandwiches or snacks. The cockpit is 28" (70 cm) deep except at the transom where it is 25" (63 cm). The standard head makes boating much more enjoyable for the whole family.We would get the optional table which fits in a mount forward and aft. We have found that this is a delightful place for drinks and snacks. An added advantage of the dual console design is that it separates the boat into two areas so that kids can congregate at one end of the boat and adults at the other.
When the watersports tower is selected a Bimini top can be fitted to it and we recommend one for safe sun. People wishing to work on their tan may want the optional sun lounge for the bow. We would go for the freshwater shower package which has sprayers for the bow, stern, head and cockpit sink. This taps in to the boat's 20 gal. (76 L) fresh water tank.
One of the aspects of this boat that should not be overlooked is that she can be used for coastal day cruising and exploring. Some options will help such as the optional weather curtain package and possibly one of the electronic navigational packages. A compass comes standard.
Regular readers know that we have been strong supporters for years of the dual console concept because of its tremendous versatility. It is simply a boat design that never goes out of style and as a family grows the boat can adapt to children's changing watersports activities. The 230 Vantage may be the only boat some families will ever need, and given the age of the Boston Whalers we see in our neighborhood along the Connecticut coast, the boat should last a very long time, indeed. The 230 Vantage isn't cheap, but given the useful longevity of the boat because of its utility and bullet-proof construction, it may be one of the best boating investments one can make.

A woman traveling northbound on the Bishop Ford Freeway was killed Wednesday morning when she was struck by a tire that came off a vehicle headed in the opposite direction, a spokesperson with the Illinois State Police told NBC Chicago.
First responders had to free Jovanka Mijatov, 64, who was pinned in her white 2011 Nissan Versa by "debris" after the 6:10 a.m. crash, Illinois State Police Trooper David Roman said.
Mijatov, of Schererville, Indiana, was taken by ambulance to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where she was pronounced dead.
Nearby, a green 1997 Chevrolet Blazer driven by 48-year-old Mariana Blanco, of Hammond, Indiana, was pulled over to the side of the southbound lane without a left rear tire.
Blanco received three citations: driving without valid insurance, driving without valid registration and driving with unsafe tires, Roman said.
Doris Smith was Mijatov's neighbor, and described her friend as a doting mother and grandmother who will be missed.
"She liked plants, she just Saturday gave me three starts of plants," Smith said. "We got to know her quite well. Always working, very hard worker."
Blanco's sister, Rocio Frendez, said she was headed to her Hammond home after getting off of work and is devastated by Mijatov's death.
"It's hard to believe what happened this morning. It's not an easy thing to swallow," Frendez said. "We feel very close to this because we've lost family in the same way."
Mijatov lived by herself and worked as an accountant at a Chicago bank. She was originally from Serbia.

Iowa State University (ISU) is one of the state's three public universities and is located in Ames, approximately 190 miles west of the Quad-Cities.
Below are links to information you will find helpful as you consider and plan for transferring to Iowa State University.
Admissions Partnership Program
As soon as you have completed your application for Eastern Iowa Community Colleges you may enroll in the ISU/EICC Admissions Partnership Program. This program offers a number of benefits to students including a customized degree plan and degree progress reports at the completion of each semester while you earn your Associate's Degree. To learn more about this program, contact Academic Advising at your community college.
How does an AA degree from Eastern Iowa Community Colleges transfer to ISU?
The Associate in Arts Degree transfers and satisfies the general education requirements for students pursuing a degree offered by the ISU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, when the AA degree includes courses to fulfill ISU's foreign language requirements and diversity requirements. Academic Advising at your community college can assist you in identifying the specific courses that will fulfill these ISU requirements.
The Associate in Arts Degree also transfers and meets general education requirements for students pursuing a degree offered by the ISU College of Business. The AA degree must include an ethics course as well as a course that will fulfill ISU's Global Perspectives requirement. Academic Advising at your community college can assist you in identifying the specific courses that will fulfill these ISU requirements as well.
How does an AS degree from Eastern Iowa Community Colleges transfer to ISU?

Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong's attorney has revealed the American won't interview under oath with the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) to reveal all he knows about doping in cycling.
USADA officials had told Armstrong he must speak with them if he wanted to reduce his lifetime ban from sports, and Thursday was the deadline for him to agree to the interview under that offer, Stuff.co.nz reports.
After more than two months of negotiations, Armstrong's lawyer Tim Herman said the disgraced cyclist wouldn't participate in a process designed only to demonise selected individuals.
Armstrong said previously he was willing to participate in an international effort to clean up a sport that was based mostly in Europe, the paper said.
For years, Armstrong denied using performance-enhancing drugs, but last year, USADA released a report that detailed extensive doping on his seven Tour de France-winning teams and stripped him of those titles, and Armstrong admitted last month that he doped to win those races.
Herman said they remain hopeful that an international effort will be mounted and they will do everything they can to facilitate that result.
Herman added Armstrong would not participate in USADA's efforts to selectively conduct American prosecutions that only demonise selected individuals while failing to address the 95 per cent of the sport over which USADA has no jurisdiction.
Armstrong is facing several legal challenges, and testifying under oath to USADA could have exposed him to further troubles. (ANI)

Girls' education and gender equality are central to GPE's vision of improved learning and equity for all, through stronger education systems by 2020.
Since 2000, good progress has been achieved to boost girls' enrollment in school. However, an estimated 131 million girls worldwide remain out of school and face multiple barriers to education. These include distance to school, cultural norms and practices, school-related gender-based violence and early or forced marriage. Boys and girls face barriers to getting a good education in conflict-affected areas where safety and security can be compromised and in households that depend on their labor or income.
Keeping girls in school and ensuring they can learn in a safe and supportive environment leads to many benefits for girls themselves, their families, their communities and societies.
Increasing gender equality is one of eight guiding principles of GPE 2020, the partnership's strategic plan for 2016-2020. Achieving increased equity, gender equality, and inclusion is one of three strategic goals under this plan.

President Barack Obama may have just hinted that his administration will prioritize payment on government bonds over other obligations—a move that would allow the United States to avoid a default on its debt in the event that the debt ceiling is not raised.
At a press conference at the White House, Obama listed a number of programs that the government would not be able to pay for if the debt ceiling isn't raised. He included such things as Social Security benefits, salaries for air-traffic control and veteran's benefits. But he quite clearly—and almost certainly, intentionally—left out the idea that the U.S. might not make all debt payments as they come due.

I have been extremely worried about coming out of this with an actual dislike for our own players, something that I felt could potentially turn me away from the game and team I love.
I'll go with that. I blame players, maybe, 70%. Owners get some blame, but the PA's decision to hire Fehr is the major issue because it sounds like he filled their heads with a lot of nonsense. Whatever position we happened to be in at the end of the year, it should be apparent to everyone that the revenue share and contract details need to be drastically alterered. It is the players that stand against most of the changes to be had, not the other way around.
I really think if there is a new agreement, the owners will get more of the economic concessins and the players i will get most fo their contracting rights back.

BBVA 'Team. Works.' Marketing Campaign Takes NBA Partnership To The Bank
By Barry Janoff, Executive Editor
December 21, 2010: BBVA, which earlier this season became the first official bank of the NBA, WNBA and the NBA Development League, said it would use the league's heavy Christmas Day schedule to launch its first national hoops-centric marketing campaign.
The effort, "Team. Works." will be anchored by a TV spot that will run Dec. 25 during telecasts of the NBA's five nationally televised games on ABC and ESPN. Support includes Internet, POP and arena signage at each of the five venues. The 15- and 30-second versions of the spot were handled by BBVA Compass and GSD&M Idea City, Austin, Texas.
The first season of the campaign will also include support of the league's social responsibility project, NBA Cares, through which BBVA's U.S. subsidiary, BBVA Compass, will bring "Team. Works. In Schools" to schools in certain BBVA Compass markets that need refurbishing. A third component will be a BBVA Compass-NBA mobile tour featuring a 67-foot, 18-wheel truck that transforms into 6,000 square feet of basketball activities. The tour is scheduled to be held in Spring 2011 in ten communities within the BBVA Compass Sunbelt footprint.
The NBA alliance is part of BBVA Compass' strategy to establish itself as the "Bank of Sports." BBVA Compass recently became title sponsor of the BBVA Compass Bowl, Jan. 8, 2011, located in its U.S. headquarters of Birmingham, Ala. Overseas, BBVA is title sponsor of La Liga BBVA, Spain's top pro soccer league.
BBVA has been named one of ten Sports Marketers of the Year by NYSportsJournalism and is in the running to be named Top Dog Sports Marketer of 2010 in a vote currently being conducted among readers of NYSportsJournalism. The results are scheduled to be unveiled in late January.
The TV spot is a highlight reel of NBA play that stresses teamwork, including on-court action showing Kobe Bryant and Paul Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers, Carmelo Anthony and Nene of the Denver Nuggets, Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics and Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd of the Dallas Mavericks. A voiceover offers, "Teamwork works. In the NBA and at BBVA Compass, the official bank of the NBA." (See full spot here.)
"Whether you're on the basketball court or in the financial arena, teamwork plays a vital role in determining success," Manolo Sanchez, BBVA U.S. country manager and president/CEO of BBVA Compass, said in a statement. "Our new ad campaign provides fans a captivating visual experience of how teamwork in the NBA translates into success on the court."
According to Sanchez, BBVA's goal is to "recreate that success by providing our customers with a championship caliber banking team that meets all of their financial needs. Teamwork also involves being a good teammate, which is why we are very proud to be partnering with NBA Cares to help revitalize schools in the communities we serve."
"Team. Works. In Schools." will join with NBA Cares to refurbish schools in BBVA Compass markets including Birmingham, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Phoenix and San Antonio. The first school revitalization project is scheduled for Jan. 13. The BBVA Compass-NBA mobile tour truck includes two basketball areas, a tech area where fans can play the latest NBA videogames and a video wall with NBA game footage. The tour is scheduled to be held in Spring 2011 in ten communities, including Albuquerque, Birmingham, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Houston, Jacksonville, Phoenix, the Rio Grande Valley, San Antonio and a city in California yet to be determined.
"Our new ad campaign provides fans a captivating visual experience of how teamwork in the NBA translates into success on the court."
Earlier this year, BBVA received significant exposure during the 2010 WNBA Finals presented by adidas when the Atlanta Dream and 2010 WNBA Champion Seattle Storm wore jersey's featuring the BBVA logo. This past October during the pre-season NBA Europe Live presented by EA Sports tour, BBVA served as an associate partner of the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Regal FC Barcelona and was presenting partner of the Fan Zone event prior to the game.
"Christmas Day is a highlight on the NBA calendar and the perfect opportunity for BBVA to demonstrate its commitment to teamwork," Mark Tatum, NBA evp-global marketing partnerships, said in a statement. "These games will be a great showcase for one of our newest marketing partners as it unveils its first NBA-themed campaign, illustrating how our official bank strives to be a great teammate and create winning experiences for NBA fans."
The NBA schedule on Christmas Day features the Chicago Bulls at the New York Knicks (ESPN), Orlando Magic at the Boston Celtics (ABC), the Miami Heat visiting the Los Angeles Lakers (ABC), the Denver Nuggets at the Oklahoma City Thunder (ESPN) and the Portland Trail Blazers at the Golden State Warriors (ESPN).
Plan To Become The 'Bank Of Sports' Takes BBVA To College Football

I am trying to make my first Java program using classes and objects and so I picked a simple game problem to model. (1) Spin wheel (2) Move player 6 spaces (for example) (3) Display all the "spaces" with the player shown on the correct space. Done! (This is somewhat like some homework I have seen on this forum).
I want to learn to use objects so I set up a class called Space, which can be occupied or vacant. I made an array of 20 spaces. I set up another class called Player, which can have a "position" , for example player[1].position =6. So the player has landed on space 6. The main method will spin the wheel to generate a number.
My theory question is: how do I let the space object "know" that the player object contains the value "6". Or perhaps some other information found only in the player object, such as last_position (where the player was earlier, or the color of the piece, etc.).
Below is code for the Space class. Below that is an error. I'm a newbie so I hope this make sense to you all. The main() class spins the wheel and then I want "the action" to occur in my objects, which I believe is the whole point of OOP.
One other thing. I use Eclipse and so I think I am required to create three files. The main file for the Game class and then two more files for Space and Player. Does that seem correct? To have a separate file for each class? Just checking. Thanks.
public class Space { public int player_on; // occupied by which player int bonus_value; int zz; public void update_space (int id) { this.player_on =id; // so maybe put player "1" on space 6 zz= player[1].last_position; // this is causing the error } public void zero_space () { this.player_on =0 ; } }
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
player cannot be resolved to a variable
at Space.update_space(Space.java:17)

The Most Fun of any Car owned
By JohnF on Wednesday, November 08, 2017I love everything about this car. Traded in a 2017 BMW M4 as it rode two harshly and was too close to the ground. I have owned 3 BMWs, several Audis, and other makes. This car is special because it allows you to have your cake (ride height of an SUV) and eat it too (acceleration and handling with more comfort) of a sports car. Outstanding.

I love this car
By Mike on Sunday, February 11, 2018I agree with others that this SUV handles a lot like a sports car. It does not feel big, but rather agile when getting in and out of parking lots. Im 6 3 and my wife is only 4 9. Few cars fit her. (She had a MINI Cooper but it didnt fit me) With the optional 14 way adjustable seats she fits fine, and so do I. These seats are also very comfortable. The interior quality is equal to the the higher priced Porsche models.

The name still means troubles.
By Coop on Sunday, June 16, 2019My last three cars have been Acura, BMW and now a Porsche Macan. Unfortunately the Porsche has been the most troublesome and I've only put 3500 miles on the car. I've had to return to the dealership 4-5 times with multiple electronics problem. First it was a headlight leveling issue and now for the 3-4th time I've returned to the dealership with the failure of the hazard warning system. Sitting in traffic, the side, forward and rear warning system alarms begin blaring. Even the rear camera and parking lines begin showing up on my screen. The car has now been sitting at the dealership for 10 days. I was promised a phone call on June 14th from the dealership with an update but it never came. If you think the name Porsche means quality, think twice. It can be as troublesome as any car.

The charming community of Delray Beach, in Southeast Florida, is 100 years old this year. It's come a long way since it was first settled in 1911, but it still embraces and celebrates its history. Consider spending some time in Delray Beach, Florida Bed and Breakfasts while you explore this interesting town.
Less than a decade ago, Delray Beach was a sleepy community nestled midway between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. Those who knew it appreciated its beautiful (and uncrowded) beaches, lovely historic architecture, and relaxing atmosphere. It still has all those attributes, but it has blossomed into something more.
Delray Beach today boasts a main street with more than 100 galleries, boutiques, cafes and eateries. The cuisine in Delray Beach is top notch and varied. Enjoy pan-Asian food with flair and drinks in the glass atrium at Buddha Sky Bar; relax with a glass of wine and traditional French fare at Cafe de France; tuck into plates of fresh, organic food at Ciao Sidewalk Cafe; and feast on tasty steak at sleek, modern Cut 432. If none of these are to your liking, fear not – there are dozens more restaurants in Delray Beach.
The Delray Beach Art District is comprised of more than 20 art galleries featuring glass work, fine arts, sculpture and more. The events calendar is filled with wine tastings, art shows, historic trolley tours, and concerts. A handful of nightclubs allow the energetic to dance until (almost) dawn.
Delray Beach is worth getting to know. Make yourself at home in a Delray Beach, Florida Bed and Breakfast. You won't regret it.

Fort Worth Pastor Darrell Wayne Blair Arrested for Alleged Sex Assault
The Rev. Darrell Wayne Blair of New Breed Christian Center in Fort Worth, Texas is facing charges of sexual assault after a woman told police in late August that the pastor had sexually assaulted her several times as a teenager.
Blair, along with being the minister of the Fort Worth church, has close connections to famed Gospel singer Kirk Franklin and his gospel group, "Kirk Franklin and the Family," according to his biography on New Breed Christian Center's website.
The Rev. Blair turned himself in to Crowley authorities on Monday, Sept. 10 and was released on $25,000 bail after an unidentified female told police on Aug. 21 that Blair had allegedly sexually assaulted her from ages 14-18, ending in 2000.
According to the police record, as initially reported by The Star-Telegram, the young woman claiming the sexual assault charges related to authorities the numerous times she felt sexually uncomfortable with Blair, including one incident in a Crowley, Texas home when he allegedly told her she "owed" him a sex act because it was his birthday.
Another alleged incident took place in a vehicle, and a third incident took place in the alleged victim's bedroom.
According to The Dallas Morning News, the alleged victim said in the police report that she "did not want to report the incident until now due to Darrell owning a gun" and her "fear of retaliation."
"Only now as an adult could she find the strength to face him," the alleged victim was noted as saying in the police report.
Blair runs the New Breed Christian Center with his wife, LaTonja Blair, who is also a minister.
The Blair couple boasts a strong Gospel music record, with the Rev. Blair being a former featured solo vocalist in the gospel group "Kirk Franklin and the Family."
According to the New Breed Christian Center's official website, Blair "has been anointed to deliver the Word of God through singing, teaching, and preaching."

Left winger Simon Gagne sharply criticized Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren in an interview with LaPresse, saying he was misled about getting a contract.
Gagne, 33, who has said he wants to finish his career with the Flyers, is an unrestricted free agent who is searching for a team.
"All summer, the Philadelphia Flyers kept hinting that they wanted to offer me a new contract, and I even told Robert Sauve, my agent, not to negotiate with other teams," Gagne told LaPresse. "We trusted them. We put all our eggs in one basket and we got caught. We never thought we'd be stuck in this situation at this time of the year."
Holmgren said he never offered a contract to Gagne.
Gagne said when he heard Tuesday that the Flyers were offering a tryout contract to winger Dan Cleary, "it was like a slap in the face. I'm disappointed."
Cleary reconsidered the Flyers' invitation and resigned with Detroit.
"I knew that hockey was a business, but with all the positive discussions we had with Paul Holmgren, I can't believe I'm not back with them," said Gagne, who was drafted by the Flyers in 1998 and has spent parts of 11 seasons with the organization.
Gagne said had trained hard in the summer and that "I've got good hockey to give."
"We discussed it, and it didn't work out," Holmgren said of offering a tryout contract to Gagne.
The Flyers could not offer Gagne a regular contract because they currently don't have cap room.
After Cleary turned down the Flyers, Holmgren said, he decided to have the young players in the organization battle for a forward opening.

Praise for The Weird Sisters
"Genuinely funny . . . buoyant."
—The New York Times
"A page-turner from the start."
—Ladies Home Journal
"Likable, gracefully written first novel . . . This is a story about family, about three sisters finding their separate yet interconnected ways in the world. It's a novel about becoming an adult, at last. Readers who enjoy reading about fraught family relationships, especially among sisters, will find it irresistible."
—The Boston Globe
"Charming . . . you need not be a Shakespeare scholar to fall in love with this feel-good story—or the bewitching sisters."
—Woman's Day
"This smart, hopeful novel…will be the winter's tale for any book lover…A family drama, gracefully costumed in academic garb and lit with warm comedy, 'tis a consummation devoutly to be wished…get thee to a bookstore…Brown is such a clever writer, and she's written such an endearing story about sisterly affection and the possibilities of redemption, that it's easy to recommend The Weird Sisters. Take Polonius's food advice and 'read on this book.' "
—The Washington Post
"Delightful . . . That's Brown's gift: She draws you in and makes you believe her weird sisters aren't so weird after all."
—The Miami Herald
"Contains much truth…it is equal parts clever and heartfelt…the book very much succeeds…Brown nails the sentiment conveyed by the book's tagline: 'We love each other. We just don't happen to like each other very much'."
—Associated Press
"…a delightful and fascinating book…a magnificent tapestry of a tale…that beautifully illustrates the pull of family and the ties that bind…even when we are about to unravel."
—The Sacramento Bee
"Good writers know the rule of threes, and Eleanor Brown is a very good writer…wonderful."
—American Way
"What a joy to read. What a VOICE. The Weird Sisters is family drama dissected by verbal scalpel. If wit and language could protect against growing old, these bewitching sisters might never have to grow up."
—Helen Simonson, best-selling author of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand
"Even if you don't have a sister, you may feel like you have one after reading this hilarious and utterly winsome novel. Eleanor Brown skillfully ties and then unties the Gordian knot of sisterhood, writing with such knowingness that when the ending came, and the three Andreas sisters—who had slunk home for a rest from themselves only to find to their horror their other two sisters there as well—emerge, I sighed the guilty sigh of pleasure and, yes, of recognition."
—Sarah Blake, best-selling author of The Postmistress
"At once hilarious, thought-provoking and poignant, this sparkling and devourable debut explores the roles that we play with our siblings, whether we want to or not. The Weird Sisters is a tale of the complex family ties hat threaten to pull us apart, but sometimes draw us together instead."
—J. Courtney Sullivan, best-selling author of Commencement
"Here's what I adored about this book: the first-person-plural narrative voice (I can still hear it in my head), its realistic take on the pleasures and pangs of sisterly relationships, and a cast of complex, three-dimensional characters who love reading but find that real life sometimes doesn't fit neatly—or can't be solved—within the pages of a novel."
—Nancy Pearl, author of Book Lust and Book Lust to Go
"Brown's knockout debut about the ties that bind us, the stories we tell ourselves, and the thorny tangle of sisterhood was so richly intelligent, heartbreakingly moving, and gorgeously inventive, that I was rereading pages just to see how she did her alchemy. Brilliant, beautiful, and unlike anything I've ever read before."
—Caroline Leavitt, author of Pictures of You and Girls in Trouble

A 58-year-old hang glider pilot from Rutland was seriously injured when the aircraft crashed at Tanner-Hiller Airport at about 5:40 p.m. Saturday.
Police Sgt. Michael Sefton identified the man as 58-year-old Mark Alarie of Rutland. The sergeant said Sunday the injuries do not appear to be life-threatening. Sgt. Sefton said the pilot suffered contusions and an apparent head injury
The cause of the accident remains under investigation; wind conditions might have contributed to the crash, he said.
Mr. Alarie was initially unconscious when emergency crews arrived but regained consciousness before being taken to an area hospital by LifeFlight helicopter.
The helicopter landed on the runway where EMTs and paramedics from Barre and North Brookfield were treating the man.
Police described the hang glider program at the airport: Enthusiasts are towed into the air by ultralight planes, then their tether is released and they fly freely without any power source.
Police were in contact with the FAA as well.

Companies' awareness of monitoring social media to gain valuable market research and insights is rapidly growing. This is what marketers are burning to find out:
- What is the reputation of my brand (compared to my competitors brand).
- Where do people mention my brand?
- Who is mentioning my brand and does she/he have a significant audience volume?
- What are typical examples of my brand's mentions
The research can be done by hand or with the support of cloud based software solutions. To individualize the research, a mix of both is necessary. Do not forget to check your competitors' brands as well. Find out more about the tools and possible software solutions: Social Media Monitoring Handbook and the Social Media Monitoring Package.

Get ready JPG - for this theme we are taking you out of your photographic comfort zone!
For decades, photographers have altered the light, color, and focus of their photographs by building filters out of different combinations of materials. These days there are so many amazing filter effects in Photoshop that it's easy to forget that we can create innovative new effects ourselves.
How, you ask? Take the space between the subject and your camera lens, and make it your own! Do it with a homemade filter! Plastic, films, fabric, gels, nylon stockings, dried milk... there is a world of possible effects you can bring to your image. You can even use floppy disk or slide film to make infrared or color filters.
So brainstorm, create a filter, snap some photographs, and submit your favorite filtered shot to this theme! Make sure to write a caption about what you used to build your filter. If you make a number of filters or want to show the effect of a particular filter with a before-and-after sequence, then consider writing a how-to story.
Please, please, please no store bought filters for this theme! We're excited to see what you come up without the help of Photoshop or the fancy accessories you can purchase at a camera store!
