Traceability Division Director, FishWise
Finalist, Seafood Champion Awards Leadership Category
At the sustainable seafood consultancy FishWise, Mariah Boyle uses her collaboration skills to help seafood companies set commitments to improving traceability and social responsibility and to combatting IUU fishing.
Mariah is a champion of collaboration between diverse stakeholders to combine sustainability efforts. In 2015, she was selected by the National Fisheries Institute to participate in its Future Leaders program, and in 2016 the influential online trade magazine IntraFish named her as one of the industry's "40 under 40" future leaders. At the 2015 SeaWeb Seafood Summit, Mariah co-hosted a successful workshop with the NFI Traceability Working Group and representatives from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. State Department. Her recognition by these organizations reflects the positive nature of the relationships she forges and her success in balancing diverse stakeholders' perspectives and values.
More recently, Mariah has been bridging the gap between social and environmental issues by establishing relationships with social science experts, generating white papers, and creating resources for the seafood industry. Her work allows companies to have the information they need to set ambitious goals for improvement in environmental and social responsibility.
Mariah's story inspires in many ways, mainly because of the unwavering focus, dedication, and work ethic she brings to tackling today's most complex seafood issues. She has worked hard to create solutions that deliver shared value, ultimately creating change on the water and improving working conditions. She is able to anticipate issues and generate resources that educate and empower stakeholders to address them. Her story mirrors the upward trajectory of sustainable seafood itself.
In her eight years at FishWise, she has seen the topics of her work—sustainability, traceability, and now social issues—become mainstream, and has grown the FishWise Traceability Division from a team of 1 to a team of 10. She has demonstrated that much can be achieved by bringing different sectors within the seafood industry together across diverse platforms and working groups.

Restaurant: Harvest (Louisville, KY)
Experience: Wiltshire on Market, Wiltshire Pantry (Louisville, KY)
Who taught you how to cook?
My mom, who taught me cookies and pie crusts and fried chicken.
What was the first dish you ever cooked by yourself?
I was around 8 or 9 and made the coffee cake recipe on the Bisquick package. I loved the topping, and so I doubled it. I remember my brothers devouring it.
What are two dishes that define you as a cook?
Fried chicken. We brine it, marinate it in buttermilk, dredge it in seasoned flour and fry it in canola oil. We typically do the airline breast. If we do the legs and the thighs, we confit them with a sugar-salt-thyme-peppercorn mixture the night before, and then we submerge them in fat so they're tender.
Also, a Red Wattle pork roast. We break the shoulder into its individual muscles, dredge them and sear it like you would a pot roast. We make a sauce out of the braising liquid: beer, bacon and whole-grain mustard.
What's the most important skill you need to be a great cook?
A strong palate that can determine when food is seasoned well. If you can't season food, it doesn't matter how good your knife skills are.
What is your current food obsession?
I've been on a big pork kick. We just had a beer dinner and gutted a whole pig, and I've been experimenting with new ways to use the ears and the trotters.
What ingredient will people be talking about in five years?
Heritage breeds of all kinds of animals: hogs, cows, chicken, duck, some game birds. What is rare now will hopefully be more common.
Do you have a favorite snack?
Salami, cheese and bread. The Creminelli brothers have amazing salami. For cheese, I like just about everything. The bread varies. Blue Dog Bakery has a really good seeded baguette.

There are multiple types of competitions for CrossFit athletes. It may be tempting to want to "do it all" and include a little something for everyone, but we encourage you to consider otherwise. Creating a more specialized event gives you the opportunity to focus on quality over quantity. It makes your event more memorable and stand out from the sea of other competitions.
You'll need to answer these questions to help you decide how you want to design your competition: who, how, and why? First, how many people are competing together? Next, what skill levels (and age categories) do you want to include? Finally, what's the main focus of your event?
From a logistical point of view, you can have following the types of competitions for different athlete groups:
- Individual competition: Athletes go head-to-head with each other. This is perhaps the easiest type of set-up to manage from an organization point of view. However, it is not as profitable as having more athletes compete in the same number of spots.
- Partner competition: Teams of 2 athletes is one way to get more people involved in competing that takes the pressure off of each person and can allow them to have more fun.
- Same sex: It's easier from a programming and equipment point of view to have same sex partner teams. It also addresses the gender disparity inherent to competitive athletics.
- Co-ed: While a little more difficult to manage operationally, coed teams give the opportunity for opposite sex couples, family members, and friends to compete together, which can be a crowd-pleaser.
- Team competition: Here's where you can get really creative! There are lots of possibilities for teammate combinations. Just remember, the more people who compete under the same team, the greater the likelihood of last-minute registration changes.
Skill levels, also commonly referred to as "divisions", can also be a factor when designing your event:
- Firebreather/Beastmode: This is the smallest division, but also the one with the most complexity. These athletes are more inclined towards higher level competition, but there are two kinds of semi-elite athletes. There are the ones who will compete at every given opportunity, and then there are the ones who instead are very selective about the events they sign up for.
- Rx: This is your bread and butter for most competitions. These athletes are looking to see how they stack up against others and/or are seriously looking to win. This is where most of your creative energy should go. Design a worthy competition that will leave these athletes feeling tested, satisfied, and eager to come back again.
- Scaled: There are a greater number of athletes looking to have fun. We encourage you to think of a scaled division like a 5K race. The majority of people who run are either looking to set a goal and meet it by finishing, or who want to do improve on their past performance. As such, the emphasis should not be on being competitive with the rest of the field.
Competitions also can include separate categories for different age groups. It's easy to get carried away with youth and masters groups. We suggest either having very broad categories if you wish to include these athletes in a general competition. Alternatively, you can plan youth-only or masters-only events, which can allow you to have more narrowly defined age groups.
Finally, before you get too caught up in the details of "who" and "how", consider "why". Decide on one thing you want to focus on for your competition. This will help you to create not just an event, but a brand. This brand can stand alone, or it can help boost the existing brand of your box. What do you want your competition to stand for? How do you want your event to fit within your CrossFit community? Why will your athletes remember your competition? Answering these questions will give you clarity and focus that can take your event to the next level.

From the medical business to the media to idiotic women, they all got on the Angeina Jolie bandwagon. For whatever reason she chose breast surgery, plastic or medical – it shouldn't be our business. But she decided to make it so, so here is my reaction:
A healthy woman is hailed as brave for cutting her breasts because she might get cancer (she still might now, but better odds) I don't know who came up with the 87% and 5 % numbers and how, but people take them on faith and miss one point: without surgery she might never get cancer. With it, she still could.
Yet the move is praised to high heaven – even elevated at the rank of "a mother's duty". NY Times promotes the tweet with the quote about telling her kids they don't have to fear losing her to cancer. Keep your breasts and you are a bad mommy!
It's nice how everyone is so cavalier with a woman's body parts. Waiting for the praise for someone cutting testicles based on an 87% chance.
I have been called ignorant, anti-woman and how do I dare criticize her. I don't. She wanted to raise awareness, I'm aware and this is what I know:
Genetics is in its infancy – not sure how reliable their cause/effect study is – and is there only one gene involved? The numbers are highly suspicious.
Cancer patients are less and less getting surgery these days. Boosting immunity is the state of the art treatment. With all the early screening, it was noticed that the body takes care of a great number of tumors, through its immune system.
Breasts, ovaries are not just man toys, baby-making organs. They are important parts of our body. Nerves, hormones important to our overall health are there. Lopping them off based on a "maybe" is not bravery in my book.
Oh, and this woman the whole medical science defers to today, used to carry blood vials of her spouse around her neck (they both did, Billy Bob and her) for a strange reason I forgot now.
And a balancing view
Reacting to Angelina Jolie's Breast Cancer News
Preventive double mastectomies among women in that latter group have shot up by 188 percent since the late-1990s. The steepness of the rise suggests those operations were driven less by medical advice than by women's exaggerated sense of risk of getting a new cancer in the other breast. According to one study, such women believed that risk to be more than 30 percent over 10 years when it was actually closer to 5 percent. I am concerned that the coverage of Jolie's decision, if not handled carefully, will add fuel to a culture of fear, to a misunderstanding of risk that could compromise women's health choices.

While You Were Watching TV I Wrote a Book
I am lost when it comes to Lost. I'm fuzzy about Grey's Anatomy. House is just a structure I live in. I have an office, but I've never seen The Office. I don't idolize American Idol. I've had my fill of Dr. Phil. So You Think You Can Dance? No, I don't. And Oprah? Hmmm...can't come up with something snappy for that one, so I'll stop now!
In life there are choices and many of these choices are not compatible. For example, lots of TV-viewing is not compatible with writing a finished novel. Neither is reading stacks upon stacks of other people's books, for that matter, so I'm not picking on TV-watchers. (I just thought it was a clever title. And you know me, I'm all about the cleverness. :])
Anyway, I guess I'm just lamenting again my own lack of finishing. I was asked to do a book review on my blog for a book other than the ones I'm doing for Walnut Springs Publishing. I was thrilled to be asked. I explained to my husband how I review for them, then they remember me and review for me someday, but he was unfazed. "They review what?" he asks. "Well...my book," I meekly reply because I know what he is getting at. "Ah, the book you're not writing because you are reading and reviewing for them."
Point taken.
Whatever is keeping you (and me) from accomplishing our goals and dreams--in whatever area of life, we should let those things go. No, I am not advocating cutting out personal hygiene and the proper care and feeding of your children, and I'm still going to blog book reviews, but I'm not going to find out How I Met Your Mother or spend time with Two and a Half Men. I'm really not bothered that the new Fall schedule passes me by yet another year because I already have Heroes. I'm dedicating my book to one of them...when it's finished.
[Disclaimer: I am glued to the tube when a season of Amazing Race is on. I'm not totally TV-challenged.]

You're exactly right. In order to write, we have to give up other things like TV, knitting, playing the piano, etc. It's all about priorities. Great post!

Using a Transfer of Expertise to Gain an Informational Advantage
We work to advance the field of mobility research in the Wolfsburg region in a number of activities ranging from working in cooperation with universities through to initiating interdisciplinary projects.
We pave the way for sustainable mobility
The Braunschweig-Wolfsburg region of Germany is not only home to a leading Automotive Cluster but also ahead of the pack when it comes to international locations for mobility research. No other location in the world has such a high concentration of companies, research institutions and authorities focusing on the fields of aerospace, vehicles and road and rail traffic. Research and innovation are pace setters for the economy, but resources in this area are limited, especially in the case of small and medium-sized enterprises. We therefore help small and medium-sized businesses to establish contact with universities and other research institutions. We also provide services such as patent research activities, innovation advice and guidance and laboratory work.

Clinical Training in Suicide Prevention
The Center for the Prevention of Suicide at the Aaron T. Beck Psychopathology Research Center is pleased to offer training for mental health clinicians and organizations in evidence-based assessment and treatment of suicidal ideation and behaviors. Workshops, intensive training, and expert consultation are available and described below. Also, we are able to create customized training plans for interested organizations. Please contact Dr. Gregory Brown to discuss costs and your training needs.
We offer workshops ranging from half-day to multi-day in the following areas:
Suicide Risk Assessment:
In this workshop, participants will learn to assess both risk and protective factors for suicide as part of a comprehensive risk assessment, in addition to strategies to continually assess risk over the course of treatment. Following the workshop, trainees will receive ongoing monitoring of risk assessments.
Safety Planning Intervention (SPI):
The SPI is a brief intervention for suicide risk reduction that was developed by Barbara Stanley, Ph.D. and Gregory K. Brown, Ph.D. The SPI is included in the Suicide Prevention Resource Center's Best Practices Registry and has been adopted as the standard of care within the Department of Veterans Affairs and other settings across the country. In this workshop, participants will learn the six steps to collaboratively creating a Safety Plan: 1) recognizing warning signs; 2) identifying internal coping strategies; 3) identifying other people or social settings for distraction; 4) identifying individuals to ask for help; 5) identifying professionals and agencies for help, and 6) making the environment safe. This training will include review and follow-up of the safety planning intervention.
Cognitive Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CT-SP):
CT-SP is an evidence-based, time-limited psychotherapy for the treatment of suicidal ideation and behaviors and was developed by Gregory K. Brown, Ph.D. and Aaron T. Beck, M.D. CT-SP is unique from other cognitive-behavioral treatment protocols in that the explicit focus of therapy is suicide prevention rather than a primary psychiatric disorder. The beginning phase of treatment includes the narrative interview, creation of a cognitive conceptualization, development of treatment goals, and early interventions, including the establishment of the Safety Plan and the Hope Kit. The middle phase of therapy includes interventions specifically targeted to the treatment goals and may include problem-solving, cognitive restructuring, distress tolerance, and behavioral activation. The later phase of therapy includes consolidation of skills and a relapse prevention task. This workshop will include a didactic presentation and experiential exercises of the three phases of treatment.
Intensive Training in Cognitive Therapy for Suicide Prevention:
In addition to stand-alone workshops, we also offer an intensive training option that includes a three-day workshop in Cognitive Therapy for Suicide Prevention plus weekly consultation on audio-taped cases. The weekly consultation will occur by phone or Skype and occur either individually (30 or 60-minute consultation session) or in a group (60 to 120 minutes with 6 or fewer clinicians per group). In addition to weekly consultation sessions, Instructors will also listen to audio-taped sessions and provide written feedback using the Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale (CTRS).
We are also able to offer expert consultation by phone or Skype on an hourly basis.

Public Radio International developed a really cool — and terrifying, and awful — interactive app that visualizes the enormity of the destruction caused by the atomic bomb the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima 70 years ago today.
You can simulate the effect of the bomb's blast on your own hometown. In the case of mine — Orland — the fires from the resulting blast would spread to two towns, and windows would be smashed from Stockton Springs to Blue Hill. Yikes.
And that bomb — the so-called "Little Boy" — doesn't even come close to inflicting the kind of damage that modern bombs can, according to this infographic.
To use the app, search for your town, then drop a pin on it. Then you have the option to drop the bomb.

NEW YORK — New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced an agreement with Wall Street's three major credit-rating agencies Thursday that would overhaul how they evaluate investments backed by risky mortgage debt.
Cuomo, flanked at a news conference in New York City by executives from Moody's Investors Service, Fitch Ratings, and Standard & Poor's, said the new guidelines will have "a dramatic effect on the industry." An investigation was launched in February to determine how mortgage-backed securities, home loans that are pooled together and sold as investments, carried high ratings yet still collapsed during the subprime crisis.
The deal applies only to riskier, non-prime loans in the U.S., and is designed to end what the industry calls "ratings shopping" that pits credit-rating agencies against one another. The $5 billion rating agency industry has been accused of issuing favorable ratings to secure business with leading Wall Street investment banks.
Investment banks looking to issue mortgage-backed bonds previously went to all three agencies for a review, but banks would only use, and pay for, the most optimistic rating. The agencies will now get paid up front regardless if they are hired to assign a rating, a move expected to avoid any conflict of interest.
"The economic benefits for the ratings agency was to see the transaction close," Cuomo said. "If the investment bank didn't like where the process was going, they would just go to another rating agency. The rating agencies will now undertake new standards."
The overhaul is reminiscent of former Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's settlement six years ago with investment banks over how they conduct stock research. The banks were accused of pressuring analysts to put out favorable reviews of stocks to help maintain and attract investment banking business.
The three ratings agencies also signed a letter of agreement to continue working with Cuomo to pursue further reforms for the mortgage industry. The attorney general said his probe into the entire mortgage industry, including loan originators and big banks, is continuing.
"We continue to believe that the more our customers, investors and other market participants know about how we do our work, the better," said Deven Sharma, president of Standard & Poor's. "We continue to work with the attorney general and policymakers to support effective operations of the world's capital markets."
The reform package also forced rating agencies to require investment banks provide for review more detailed data packaged loans before a rating can be issued. The standards in which they review these pools must also be posted on their Web sites.
Cuomo said all three agencies have favored such rules for some time, but none of them wanted to act alone. The changes will be implemented within the next six months.
Putting more restrictions on the rating agencies, criticized for not sounding the alarm soon enough over risky mortgage investments, is just one step Cuomo sees in reforming the housing industry. While agencies were motivated to churn out favorable ratings to collect fees, big Wall Street firms were at the same time pressuring loan originators to sell more mortgages.
"We've had an ongoing investigation on the entire housing system almost from the first day I walked in the door," said Cuomo, who previously served as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Clinton. "Today we're talking about the secondary market when the loans are securitized, and depending on how much you securitize it controls the flow through the housing pipeline."
Cuomo's office worked on the reforms alongside the Securities and Exchange Commission. The regulator will vote on its own set of reforms on June 11.
"The Attorney General's actions, as well as the comprehensive new rules for all nationally registered credit rating agencies that the commission will consider next week, are motivated by our mutual desire to promote ratings with integrity and curb the questionable practices that contributed to the credit market turmoil," SEC Chairman Christopher Cox said in a statement.
The agency is considering new rules to limit conflicts of interest in the credit-rating industry and to require the rating firms to disclose detailed information on the mortgage assets underpinning the securities they rate.
Shares of McGraw-Hill Cos., which owns S&P, rose 84 cents to $44.69 in early afternoon trading. Moody's Corp. rose $1.79, or 4.5 percent, to $41.42. Fitch is owned by France's Fimalac SA.

James Clyne has worked as a film industry artist for well over a decade. James studied fine art at UC Santa Barbara where he focused on oil painting and photography. He was inspired by master painters and the power of light through a lens. He went on to Art Center where he learned automotive, industrial and film production design. There he was introduced to the work of Raymond Lowey, Pininfarina and, of course, Syd Mead. Since then, James has collaborated on well over thirty film projects. The highlights include working with Steven Spielberg on a number of projects in various capacities related to visualization. On A.I. and Minority Report James not only designed specific production assets but also created imagery that was used to inform the look of the movies through the relationship between light and emotion. James was also the Production Designer on an animated feature in 2008, Tusker, a magical film about a tribe of Indian Elephants. In 2011, James was selected by Steven Spielberg to put together an art team for the development of a television series.

Ever stared at your blank and boring walls at home feeling like it needs some decorating? Or realised one day that your plain old room needs a revamp. Immediately. Only, your current budget isn't allowing it. Well, what if we told you that there was a way you could transform your room with that one statement piece. On a budget. And help struggling artists while you're at it. Sounds like a score, doesn't it? Introducing CirculArt.
What is Circulart?
CirculArt is an online platform where you can lease some of the trendiest art pieces by up-and-coming artists for an affordable price and have it sent to your doorstep. It's the convenience of having a wide collection of art pieces at your fingertips. It's the perfect place to browse for your next favourite piece of art, as an avid art lover or someone who just loves variety at home.
Why Circulart?
The struggle of starting artists to get recognized. Huge amounts of art waste being produced. A lack of affordable art for the masses. We don't perceive these three problems separately. To us, these problems present a gap to be filled. The art you can lease from us is art made by art students or starting artists who are not yet known. Often, it's difficult for an artist to obtain recognition and gallery representation when they are not that known yet. CirculArt provides platform for these artists to get recognition for their work. Simultaneously, we try to make art accessible to the masses. For you, it means that you get the newest of the newest art for an affordable price. This is because of the fact that the art pieces are not immensely popular yet due to which we can give you subscriptions for reasonable prices.
Our start-up also stimulates you to make a contribution to circular economy. So what does this exactly mean? Instead of buying an art piece made of resources we are running out of and throwing the art away when you don't like it anymore, we give new life to the piece. Also the art made by students is not being used yet and thrown away, with choosing this art you help reduce the waste-economy.
How does it work?
We provide a subscription based art leasing system. In order to make use of this, there are only a few simple steps you need to take and Viola! You've entered the CirculArt world. You start by making an account online and then pick a subscription package on the basis of how many artworks you would like to lease. Then you simply check out your favourite art pieces which will be brought to your doorstep. So you pay us a certain amount of money every month or year, that's totally up to you and in exchange for that you get to pick some beautiful artworks to take home. When you're done with it you can bring it back to us and pick out some new pieces. We provide different prices based on different subscriptions.

Fenna is our cornerstone when it comes to creativity in what we write. With her sense for sarcasm at the right time, everything you will read of hers becomes heaven. Sometimes we ask her what the key is for this creative writing and her only answer is coffee. Her answer is always coffee. How does she work, study and sport? Coffee. How will she finish her Public Administration study? Coffee. Besides coffee she has affection for reading, and not just any books, no anything of Stephen King and you won't be able to speak to her for the next couple of hours. Her big dream is that nothing has to be thrown away ever again, there is always a way to reuse it, we just might not have found it yet.

To our team she adds a lot of spontaneity, which we sometimes appreciate and sometime have to regulate a bit. Her spontaneity is countered by this idea of 'attention, focus & concentration'. These three things have to be taken into account everytime; when you brush your teeth in the morning, when you decide what to eat, when you think of what kind of world you want to live in. This drives her to find a new way to organize our economy, an economy in which we act responsible and accept the limits of what the earth has to offer us. And if we really want to make a change, we have to start at the core of our economy.

The lower Eastern Shore may escape the heavy snow that's forecast for other areas within our travel range but please reconsider any plans for traveling during this weekend's predicted storm.
Snow Emergency Plans For All Counties Beginning Friday At Noon
For Immediate Release
Contact: SHA Office of Customer Relations and Information (410) 545-0303
Snow Emergency Plan Restricts Parking on Snow Emergency Routes and
Permits Maryland State Police to Tow Vehicles
(January 21, 2016) – The Maryland State Police and Maryland Department of Transportation's State Highway Administration (SHA) are proactively announcing that snow emergency plans will go into effect at noon Friday in advance of the predicted severe storm expected Friday and Saturday. The Statewide Snow Emergency requires vehicles restricts traveling on all highways designated as snow emergency routes be equipped with chains, snow tires or all season radials. Additionally, special hauling permits for commercial vehicles are not valid during snow emergencies.
The snow emergency plan also allows the Maryland State Police (MSP) to call tow companies to remove abandoned vehicles in the road or on the shoulder and restricts all parking on designated snow emergency routes.
"It is important for all Marylanders to heed Governor Hogan's warning about the coming storm and to make every effort to refrain from travel through the weekend," Maryland State Police Superintendent Colonel William Pallozzi said. "Implementing the snow emergency plans in every county is an indication of the serious nature of this storm and the statewide impact it will have. Our goal is to keep citizens safe and this is one of the many steps we will be taking to do that."
Significant snowfall, high winds and treacherous driving conditions are expected from late Friday, all day Saturday and into Sunday. If forecasts materialize as expected and more than two feet of snow falls, cleanup will take several days and extend into early next week.
"Please avoid traveling during the storm to allow our crews the space needed to plow the roads," said SHA Administrator Gregory Johnson. "Our goal is to keep one travel lane open and passable on major highways for emergency vehicles during the storm and focus on plowing all lanes once the snow stops."
Commercial vehicle drivers have the option to wait out the storm at one of Maryland's 17 designated safe haven ridesharing lots in order to avoid travel during hazardous conditions.
SHA maintains the numbered roads in Maryland's 23 counties with the exception of toll roads (i.e. the ICC, I-95 north of Baltimore City, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, Fort McHenry Tunnel etc.) Click here to obtain information for county roads departments.
MD511 provides tools that you can use for traffic information, weather conditions, or traffic information. Customers may also follow SHA on Twitter @MDSHA and "like" us on Facebook.

-By Benjamin H. Smith
Well Walking Dead fans, like the sign said at the beginning of the episode, "You Are Alive." You survived the most hair-raising finale in the series' history. What we know is Rick and his group of Survivors have been summarily beaten, both mentally and physically, by The Saviors, led by the worst bad guy since the death of The Governor. Yes, it's the Mayor of Pee Pee Pants City himself, the man with the barbed wire covered baseball bat, the one and only nasty and nefarious Negen. And yet, we still don't know who he killed. Damn. Anyhow, if you're still recovering from last night's episode, let's review the winners and losers from The Walking Dead season 6 finale and ruminate about them for the next 6 months before the show returns and we finally find out who died.
Father Gabriel
At the end of last season he was one of the most hated characters on the show; a delusional coward, bad mouthing Rick and The Survivors, almost getting them kicked out of Alexandria. Now he is the machine gun toting killer priest, entrusted to protect Rick's daughter Judith by any means necessary. Man, talk about a reversal of fortune.
This Freaking Guy
He didn't have a name but he was the perfect hype up man for Negan's entrance, ("Let's meet the man!") unnervingly calm and totally menacing. When Rick's group is finally surrounded, his line "Good. You made it. Welcome to where you're going" is blood chilling. Gamers of course know him as the voice of Grand Theft Auto V badass Trevor Philips, actor Steven Ogg. Here's hoping he plays a prominent role in TWD Season 7.
Carol and Morgan
Sure, she's still going through her existential crisis and OUCH!, those gun shots must have really hurt. But at least she's got a new bestie in Morgan. And hey, Morgan got his groove back—if by groove we mean being able to kill at will. Anyhow, who were those dudes that saved them? Oh well, guess we have to wait until next season to find out.
NegenEmbedded from www.youtube.com.
"Pissing our pants yet? Boy do I have a feeling we're getting close. Yep, it's gonna be pee pee pants city here real soon." And with that, Jeffrey Dean Morgan just made one of the greatest entrances in television history. Negen is truly the Man You Love to Hate in The Walking Dead universe, and it seems like right now he is the top dog.
Recreational Vehicles
Seriously, whenever the crew gets in an RV, bad sh-t happens. They break down, walkers get inside, they're slow and easy to attack, and whatever you do, don't give Eugene the keys. Last night's episode was like the worst family daytrip ever. Wherever they went, Saviors were sure to follow. And hey, if you're trying to sneak around, it's hard to hide a 10 ton house on wheels.
How does the teenage girl who endured being alone in the zombie apocalypse fall for the old, "Check the closet" trick? Just survive somehow being locked in a broom closet until the group gets back from getting hosed by The Saviors.
Michonne's Dreads
Wait, are you telling me, they cut off some of Michonne's dreads and glued them to a walker's head? DAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNN!!!!!! Now, that is cold, however, they should know better than to mess with a girl's hair. You know she's gonna get payback sooner or later.
The Walking Dead Fans
You knew someone big was going to die, you know it was going to be brutal, but what you didn't count on was having to wait another 6 months to find out who died. Oh well, that gives you plenty of time to theorize and obsess over who it was that got clobbered by Negen's bat, Lucille. But admit it, being tortured by the show – having your favorite characters killed off, knowing that any peace will be short-lived – is kind of why you love it, isn't it?
Rick Grimes and The Survivors
You know, the thing about being a tough guy is there's always someone tougher. And in Negen, it looks like Rick has met his match. Sure, he's had some close calls before, but never has he been punked out as hard as he was last night. Dude looked like he was about to cry. The entire Saviors game of cat and mouse totally got into Rick's head, and in the end defeat was almost a relief. Whatever happens next season, Rick will have a long journey back before he can start making moves to reclaim his place on the top of the Zombie Apocalypse scrap heap.

Crowdrise LA Holiday Book Drive
Organized by: Calley Nye
To celebrate another amazing year of giving back, let's give back some more!
Last year we raised over $4000, and I know we can kill that number this year. With that money, we were able to give the following to the kids at CHLA:
- 412 Books
- 120 Jars of Play-Doh
- 40 baby toys
- 28 sets of bubbles
- 10 mobiles
- 9 bath and body kits for teenage girls
- 8 dolls
- 8 $25 movie gift cards
- 7 sets of legos
- 6 stuffed animals
- 5 pieces of Dodgers merchandise
After last year and some changes to the Literally Healing program, they're in desperate need of help. They've lost all their storage so we're going to give all the money to the Literally Healing in gift cards so they can buy the books they need.
The program does a lot of great things for the children and families at the hospital. They really need our help this year, so let's do this.
CrowdRise will match up to $200 of funds raised by each CrowdRise employee. Best news ever.
We'll send the gift cards to the hospital in January, but after flu season we can try to arrange a day to go in and read to some of the children.

Do not expect to try out for sniper school until after you have at least one deployment in most cases. There are plenty of Marines in line ahead of you, so learn to wait your turn.
Why would you think that you are just gonna enlist and all of a sudden become a sniper? Who the hell are you kidding?
Just because you are a hunter, love to shoot, or have fired weapons since you were very young, this does not mean shit to the Marine Corps. Being the air-soft champion for your state or being the best paint-baller in your weekend club also does not mean you will amount to anything when it comes to Marine Corps marksmanship.
Some people who know how to shoot before enlisting can pick up bad habits and this messes them up while for others it doesn't effect them. In the USMC you are shown how to fire your weapon step by step and those who have a blank slate usually do better. Being a sniper is a lot more than sniping. You can be used in various manners, so please do not think that being a sniper is anything like any movie or video game you may of seen or played. There is a lot more to being a sniper then what you think, this I guarantee you.
Don't forget that potential snipers are screened to ensure that they have a higher level of maturity than their peers and they must be above average in their physical abilities (PFT, CFT). Snipers are also rational and good thinkers and they must be able to communicate without sounding like a jack ass. It's not just about being a good shot. You must be the complete package which is why very few of you will ever meet the many qualification.
Enlist into the 03xx/infantry MOS field and just do your best. Once in your permanent unit you will see how the process works and you'll have a much better understanding of what is possible and what is not.
The Marine Corps isn't going to let you go to sniper school just for shits and giggles. Sniper slots are reserved for those who need it and not those who want it just to be cool.
Yes, reservists can also try to become snipers. Once in your reserve unit, you'll be able to ask your senior Marines how this process works.

When Your Smilin'.
Foxy New's star Greta Van Susteren was observed smiling today.
Paparazzi caught Greta Van Susteren attempting to smile. Some of the photographers believed the event was staged. Is her smile real? Only her plastic surgeon knows.
The brief facial expression is believed to be the first time in years that the Foxy 10 PM star spread her lips.
So rare is such an episode that many observers believed the smile was a staged photo-op.
Photographers who were invited to the event noted that a rumor spreading wildly around the scene accused the Fox star of taking secret smiling lessons from Hollywood's famous lip guru known professionally as "Sammy the Smirk" who was present during the session.
It is believed that Van Susteren is considering permanent smile plastic surgery.
Shortly after the embarrassed Van Susteren flashed her phony smile, she accused President Obama of staging a photo-op on the golf course and criticized him for diddling at the game while so many Americans are out of work..
While practicing her grin, the Foxy News star failed to note that the unemployment crisis resulted from the criminal behavior of Wall Street banksters and all attempts to effectively eliminate the tragedy have been blockaded by the Repub Party.
An Expensive Trim Job.
Jared Bernstein wrote that he would not want Larry Summers to mow his lawn.
Well, I wouldn't want him to mow mine either. He'd undoubtedly charge $250.000 a cut.
Plus expenses.
And hire minimum wage labor to do the job.
At It Again.
Repubs in the House of Representatives appealed to John Boehner, the Speaker who can't control his caucus, to reject any budget deal that does not defund Obamacare.
The cabal in the House, as well as some Repub members of the Senate, are out to kill the Affordable Care Act completely. Boehner, while in agreement with the movement, warned against doing so as part of a government shutdown.
The hapless Boehner, whose approval ratings in his home state are approaching that of syphilis, is afraid that a shutdown would create a backlash against Repubs in the 2014 elections that could cost him his Speakership.
Guess he's scared his party's actions could do to him exactly what President Obama's sneaky Oval Office meetings with health industry executives did to Nancy Pelosi's Speakership when the Dems were overwhelmed in 2010 – destroyed it as we well know.
As for the president, he's about making Repubs drool with his tempting offers to cut benefit programs like Social Security and Medicare.
It seems however, you just can't make a Repub happy. They want to kill off not only Obamacare but the two signature Democratic benefit programs as well.
Rum Day.
Yes, there is a national rum day. Sadly, I've never been a fan of the drink of pirates and English sailors. Gratefully, there are many alternatives.
Here's a ditty to the sugar cane distilled alcoholic beverage which, if you didn't know, was served on board ship by the Royal Navy and came to be called "grog", a version of rum diluted with water and a citrus juice to prevent the Vitamin C deficiency suffered by sailors and known as scurvy.Fee fi foe fum Never had a Coke and rum Prefer a drink a bit more hearty That's the way to start a party Though they say good rum will numb. . Four and twenty black birds 10 ounce glass of rye. That'll turn your nose red my oh my oh my. Next a spot of good scotch That makes your face a blotch Pray the Lord will gently set you safely down to lie. The great sailing ships of yesteryear were a sight to behold. In the Royal Navy, sailors on board were given a daily ration of rum often mixed with lime juice and diluted with water. Called "grog", the mixture prevented the vitamin C deficiency disease known as scurvy. (Artist not known). ***
Wanna Be President.
Who am I speaking of? Rick Santorum. Who else?Yes, he's getting some face time, this time, until next time.
The former senator and current presidential wanna be took Repubs to task for not appealing to the working class voter. He didn't say Repubs should take actions to earn working class votes. Just say a few "heartfelt" words to bring the vote home to the 2016 GOP presidential candidate, who might possibly be Little Ricky himself.
It's the old compassionate conservative schtick served up on the same stick and stuck in the same place Repubs usually shaft the middle class.But "talk it up fellow GOPers" is the Santorum message. Happy talk might just bring in enough votes to push the former senator into the Oval Office.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/10/ rick-santorum-gop_n_3737378.html?ncid=txtlnkushpmg00000037 ***
Former VP Candidate Gets Whiny.
Gets whiny. Who am I kidding? She's been whining since her 2008 defeat.
This particular whine is about Repub elitists restraining her from speaking about Jeremiah Wright, former Obama pastor, and Bill Ayers, one time founder of the Weatherman, the anti-Vietnam war group.
The McCain campaign managers feared the media would pounce if those tired old subjects were revived.
Anyways, Sarah still looks great in a bikini and if she had campaigned in one she probably would have improved McCain's vote total.
(Sorry about the sexist statement, ladies. But I can't help thinking the bikini was one of mankind's greatest inventions. And there was a time when everyone of you looked great in one).

Jaegar's Memorable Quotes
Is there a place that represents the diversity of Los Angeles, is there a place that is open to new acts and established acts? We'd like GroupShower LA to be that sort of place where we welcome all music acts that represent Los Angeles and the diversity that is LA, and hopefully with that we'll stand for good music and stand for the great scene that is Los Angeles today. (Speaking about GroupShower LA)
I heard Pearl Jam and I thought, "What is this?" And then you realize this would be an obsession for the rest of your life. When you're thirteen you don't realize that.
I want to promote all of these singer songwriters that we live next door to, that we ride the bus with and see on the streets, and the fact that they're here in Los Angeles is fantastic. (Speaking about the type of performers we should expect)
Echo Park has a density of artists, and quality too, that makes me feel confident about this project.
American music fans are thirsting for music: What's next? I want to be on the front of this live stream vanguard and be able to see if we can develop an audience and get sponsors to showcase these semi-unknown artists in Los Angeles.
Our idea is that if a podcast brings people information that they want on demand and couldn't get otherwise, then maybe a live stream could do the same thing for music.
We wouldn't be able to do this without the kindness and generosity of Echoes Under Sunset and the people of Echo Park, Los Angeles who are open to so many artistic projects, and we are glad to be a part of it.
We want this to be local. We want this to be LA-based. (Speaking about GroupShower LA)
We are open to anyone and everything. The thing is we love songs. Who doesn't love songs? There's something about us, no matter where we come from or who we are, everybody loves a good song. That's why I can go to every country in the world and everybody knows Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You". For some reason, people love songs.
We're looking for people who can write a song, on their own, and perform it live with whatever instrument they want.
We also want to reflect the diversity of Los Angeles and want people to know we are open and interested in people singing songs in different languages.
LA has enough that we can showcase the diversity of LA…songs in Spanish, Korean, Armenian, songs in languages I don't even know…I want that because a song is a song and we can't wait to hear them. (Speaking of the type of artists they wish to attract)
Echoes Under Sunset is such a free form venue. It really is a labor-intensive club for the people that run it, but what it contributes to Echo Park and Los Angeles in general is punching above its weight. Every night it is open, every night it is contributing something new and creative, and every night it i's allowing artists to engage with audiences on a personal one on one basis. It's a great little venue, Christian has done a great effort making it a place worth going to. (Speaking about Echoes Under Sunset)
Echo Park has a lot of room and space for this kind of artistic experimentation.
Echo Park is a great place…affordable, still has a very local sense, working class people still live there, go to their jobs, access downtown, and work side by side with interesting artists and up and coming people.
Awesome! Thank you Jaegar Christian!

March 3, 2016
Episode 863
(taped March 1, 2016)
City: Atlanta, GA
Venue: Philips Arena
Commentary: Mauro Ranallo, Jerry Lawler, Byron Saxton
Ring Announcer: Eden Stiles
From RAW, a recap of Triple H beating up Ambrose and agreeing to his challenge for a title match.
Ring Area
Ambrose takes a seat in the middle ring. He talks about living the life that's in front of his face and how sometimes it sucks, but sometimes it works. Like when he got Triple H to agree to a title shot. He wonders about what he'll do at Wrestlemania if he wins the title. Reigns? Lesnar? Triple H? He continues until Kevin Owens interrupts.
Owens asks Ambrose what gives him the right to start Smackdown by spewing crap. Ambrose makes Owens sick. He takes a swing at Ambrose, but Ambrose dodges and hits Owens with a chair. As Owens backs away, Ambrose wants a fight.
** Dean Ambrose seems to be the only guy who is in one of the big matches and Wrestlemania and is also consistently on TV. He seems to be carrying a large amount of the story from week to week. **
Match 1
The Usos vs Sheamus & Rusev w/ King Barrett, Alberto Del Rio
(referee: Charles Robinson)
Result: Sheamus pins Jimmy Uso after a Brogue Kick
Time: 5:10 (1 break)
Match Thoughts
Good match. It started off pretty average, but one the pace picked up it didn't really stop. It looked realistic how the Usos were able to deal with the superior numbers of the League of Nations for an extended, exciting period of time in the match.
Ring Area
After the match, the Dudley Boyz head to the ring with a table. They set it up, but they don't use it as they attack the Usos.
Match 2
Dolph Ziggler vs The Miz
(referee: Rod Zapata)
Result: Dolph Ziggler wins via pinfall with a backslide
Time: 0:49
Match Thoughts
Another quick match like the one they had on RAW on Monday. This was actually an answer to that match and it looks like a start to minor feud. Hopefully the matches will start to get longer rather than shorter.
R-Truth gets some food in catering and sees Goldust eating alone. Truth sits down and tries to sort of apologize. He tells Goldust they should be partners. Goldust doesn't buy it. Expecting Truth to shove Goldust's food in his face, Goldust does it to himself first. Who's the idiot now?
Match 3
Divas Title Number One Contender Match
Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks
(referee: Dan Engler)
Result: The match ends in a double DQ when Charlotte attacks Becky and Sasha at the same time
Time: 8:43
Match Thoughts
Another very good match between these two, but the ending to this one wasn't as good. The end result wasn't unexpected, but I don't really like how they did it. Flair just started getting in Becky and Sasha's faces for no reason which led to Charlotte getting involved. I guess it makes sense, but I'm tired of the Flair/Charlotte thing. I never really liked it much to begin with.
Renee Young asks Charlotte about her game plan. She says neither Becky nor Sasha deserves a title shot. Renee Young informs Charlotte that her actions have led to a triple threat match at Wrestlemania. Charlotte has no comment.
** Yeah, this seemed pretty obvious. A double DQ can either mean that neither won or both won depending on how you look at it. It makes Charlotte and Flair look really dumb to not realize that. And what was her end goal anyway? She was going to face someone at Wrestlemania, why not try to influence the match to get the person you think you have a better chance of beating? Anything else just delays the decision or leads to something like what happened. But whatever, I got the triple threat I wanted to see, so I should stop nitpicking I guess. **
Ring Area
New Day wonders how Y2AJ managed to get a title shot. Kofi says the world is a magical place. Just look at Jell-o. Or the fact that Xavier Woods became a success despite being from Hot-Garbage-Lanta.
Match 4
Kofi Kingston (Tag Champ) w/ Xavier Woods, Big E vs AJ Styles
(referee: Jason Ayers)
Result: AJ Styles wins via pinfall after a springboard forearm smash
Time: 6:25 (1 break)
Match Thoughts
Good match. Kofi dominated a lot of the match due to distractions by New Day, but AJ held his own. The match had a lot of shenanigans that influenced its outcome, but it was still good.
Bray Wyatt saw a beast with seven heads and ten horns. The beast will soon bow to him.
** Bray will face Lesnar at Roadblock. I like it. Lesnar sounds more like one of the "titans" he was talking about a few weeks ago. **
Match 5
Kevin Owens (IC Champ) vs Dean Ambrose
(referee: John Cone)
Result: Dean Ambrose wins via pinfall after Dirty Deeds
Time: 11:13 (1 break)
Match Thoughts
Very good underdog/injured guy match. Great exchanges, great build, believable comebacks, good stuff. Definitely one of their better TV matches, and that's saying something. It was a well-called match by Ranallo too.
Show Impressions
Despite the announcement of the Divas Title match being triple threat, this show seemed kind of like it didn't matter in the long run, but it was still a very entertaining show.
Match of the Night
Kevin Owens vs Dean Ambrose
Easily the best match tonight for all the reasons stated above.

Happy Easter Mini Album with Gummiapan and Pion Design | By Nancy
As you can see in the photo above, the base of the pages are made from a variety of pastel coloured cardstock. All the rest of the paper comes from the beautiful Pion Design - Easter Greetings Collection. This collection is currently on sale in the shop for an incredible price! Quantities are limited though, so you may want to grab them fast! Here is a close-up of the front cover:
I did some fussy cutting and die-cutting. Then I added little bits of sparkle to everything with Diamond Stickles. Can you see the shimmer? In the photo below is another fussy cut butterfly.
I added it to the centre of the pretty floral wreath tag. Again, I added Stickles to everything.
In this photo you can see where I used the lovely Gummiapan Little Flower Die. I cut two of them and layered them up with a brad, before adhering them in place. You'll see these flowers throughout the album, along with more of the butterflies, and other pretty elements from the collection.
Just a few more notes about my album. The album cover is a Zutter Cover-all. The pages all measure 6" x 6". I used my Bind-it-all to bind all the pages together. You could easily create the same album but bind it with rings or ribbons. All of the tags, journal cards, and die-cut pieces were lightly inked with Espresso Truffle Memento Ink. Also, the same two die sets were used repeatedly throughout the album. The Gummiapan Old Paper Dies, and Gummiapan Square Postage Stamp Dies. If you look closely you will see that the Stickles has been added to the pretty flowers on most pages. You can never have too much sparkle!
Okay...enough typing...here is the video slideshow:
I hope you enjoyed my Easter Mini Album. If you would like to see more photos, I will have them at this direct link to my personal blog The Nickel Nook.

Starring: Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassell, Barbara Hershey, Winona Ryder
Director: Darren Aronofsky
Nina Sayers is a young ballet dancer with a New York troupe. Nina is totally dedicated to her craft, to the exclusion of all else. Reserved, naive and driven, Nina's pursuit of perfection is stretched to breaking point when she wins the lead in Swan Lake. Called on to portray both the white swan, for which she is perfectly suited, and the black swan, which requires her to tap into the passions she works so hard to control, Nina begins to descend into paranoia and madness.
Black Swan is the movie that everyone is talking about, it seems. It's already being mentioned in the same breath as Oscar, and it's easy to see why. With his previous movie, The Wrestler, Darren Aronofsky dealt with the struggles of a man who had made it to the top and fallen. This time around his focus turns to a woman struggling to make it to that top. Each film deals with success, viewed from different ends of the journey. However, Black Swan is the far darker journey of the two.
Those with no interest in ballet may be put off by the movie's setting, but the truth is Black Swan is no more about ballet than Psycho was about hotels. Nina's desperate struggle to be the best, and to win the approval of those around her is as universal a theme as any, and although we are given a solid lesson in the ruthlessness and competitiveness of the ballet world, Black Swan is more concerned in following Nina's descent into hell. This it does, and it doesn't pull punches along the way. Layered, sometimes disturbing and always engaging, Black Swan is an enthralling portrayal of a disintegrating psyche.
Central to the film's success, of course, is the performance of Natalie Portman as Nina. For an hour and forty minutes the camera never leaves her side and Portman is absolutely fantastic. Her portrayal of the increasingly fractured Nina is flawless, never hitting an off-note, never anything less than utterly convincing. Just as the story of Nina mirrors the famous ballet she is performing, so the dedication to her craft of Portman mirrors that of her character. It's the perfect fusion of actor and role and if, by the end, you are not completely invested in Nina's fate then you should probably check your pulse.
Revolving around Portman are an equally accomplished troupe. Vincent Cassell tones down his usual mania as Nina's passionate director, Barbara Hershey is subtle and sometimes chilling as her overbearing mother, and Mila Kunis is excellent as the far more unrestrained Lily, yang to Nina's yin and focus of Nina's paranoia. And holding it all together is the assured work of Aronofsky, who never allows his direction to become showy, distracting or intrusive, despite the constant scrutiny of Portman's increasingly tortured face.
One of the best psychological thrillers for a long while, with moments both horrific and moving, Black Swan is well worth your time. The Oscars are now only two months away and if Natalie Portman doesn't walk away with the Best Actress statuette it will be very hard for the Academy to justify.

Sean Penn is the world's oddest-looking Nazi hunter in the first trailer for "This Must Be the Place," a drama-comedy that first debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in 2011. Now, thanks to the power of The Weinstein Company, "This Must Be the Place" will finally arrive in U.S. theaters on Nov. 2.
The film tells the story of Cheyenne (Penn), a former rock star who looks an awful lot like Robert Smith from The Cure. After the death of his estranged father, an Auschwitz survivor, Cheyenne attempts to locate the Nazi guard who tormented his dad. Strange occurrences and classic rock music cues happen along the way, as Penn gets help in his quest from Frances McDormand, Judd Hirsch and David Byrne among others.
Watch the amusing trailer above; imagining that Penn is doing one big Adam Sandler impression is optional.
Head over to Apple to check out the "This Must Be the Place" trailer in HD.

The Ohio State Ski & Board Team is a club sport at Ohio State. Our primary goal is to get as many people out on the hill as possible. With that in mind, we offer discounted season passes to Mad River Mountain, ski and snowboard racing, and an annual winter break trip.
Mad River Mountain, conveniently located 45 minutes from campus in Bellefontaine, is our main hill. Most of our members purchase a season pass and go to Mad River at least twice a week to work on their turns or ride the rails in Capital Park. We have members of every ability shredding all season, including completely new skiers and boarders to some who have been riding for more than half their lives. The point is that everyone is heading out to the hill to learn something new or to improve something old. Progression is the goal.
Although Ski Team (as we are colloquially known) is a big group, we remain close-knit throughout the year by keeping group activities going in the off-season. We like to keep everyone stoked by putting on some ski movie premiers, going on our annual camping trip, volunteering, and having socials.
The heart of our organization is our race team. In January and February, we take five weekends to go race each other and teams of other schools at different resorts in Ohio and Michigan. In the past we have raced at Snowtrails, Boston Mills/Brandywine, Mad River Mountain, Crystal Mountain, and Marquette Mountain. Although racing is not mandatory, we do highly recommend it to all members of any ski ability. It's a dope way to spend the first two blistery months of Spring semester.
However, we do not require members to race in order to join us on race weekends at these different resorts. Whether you want to be timed or not, we'll show you Ohio and Michigan skiing in ways you've never seen it before.
Our premier event for the entire season is our winter break trip. Stop by one of our meetings or sign up for our newsletter to see where we are going this year.
If any of this sounds interesting and you're looking to make some of the best friends you'll meet throughout your time at OSU, show up at a meeting and introduce yourself. You will not regret it.

22 January-04 June 1944
In late 1943, the Allied campaign to liberate Italy from the hands of the Germans was at a stalemate along the "Gustav Line," a natural stronghold of mountainous terrain stretching across the country; just north of Naples. General Mark Clark, commanding the American Fifth Army, was given the order to outflank the German army by landing at Anzio and clearing the road to Rome. In a textbook perfect assault, forty thousand Allied troops of the American Fifth Army, Sixth Corps and the British First Infantry Division were landed on Anzio beachhead on January 22, 1944.
After initial success, the Allies were pinned down on the beachhead by a vastly superior German force. The Germans eventually committed 80,000 additional troops to the Italian campaign to "push the Allies back into the sea." Through sheer bravery and heroism, the Allies held the beachhead. Finally, with long awaited reinforcements, the Allies broke out in late May and ultimately marched victoriously into Rome, in June 1944.
The strategic importance of the Battle of Anzio in the liberation of Italy is well documented. The campaign's contribution to the overall Allied effort in Europe, however, is often underestimated. The two German corps engaged on the Anzio front were originally destined for Normandy. The success of the Allied landings on the beaches in France in June 1944 were due largely to the tenacity of the Allied forces at Anzio.
But the price of this crucial victory was high. Allied forces suffered nearly 28,000 casualties. In one measure of the courage and sacrifice of those who fought there, 22 Americans were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the most of any single battle of World War II.
USS ANZIO (CG 68) is the second US naval ship to be named in honor of the men and women who served at Anzio. She will sail the seas dedicated to preserving the freedom won on the Anzio beachhead while keeping alive the legacy of the boundless bravery and fighting spirit of each Anzio veteran.

text: late September court ruling involving it and Qualcomm, as we've never seen any one company so excited about a piece of silicon. The BCM2049 combo chip is built on 65-nanometer technology and combines Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and an FM transceiver in one convenient place. Obviously, the chip is being aimed at up and coming music phones, and it also features SmartAudio voice processing, Bluetooth audio streaming and an FM transmit function that will surely be next to worthless in mid- to large-size cities. Whoever made it onto Broadcom's early access list can get samples now, but you'll have to bypass the bouncer in order to get pricing.
