TC: "On Wednesday morning in New York City, Amazon will unveil the Kindle Fire. Yes, this is the name Amazon has settled on, to help differentiate the product from the e-ink Kindles… It will be a 7-inch backlit display tablet that looks similar to the BlackBerry PlayBook. … [H]aving played with a DVT model myself, I can assure you that it's better than the PlayBook because the software is better and, more importantly, the content available is much better. … We also originally heard that Amazon Prime would be included, as a big enticement for would-be buyers. That may be off the table for now as well – but it's not yet clear. It's possible Amazon will release one version with Prime included for $300 and a version without it for $250. Getting Amazon Prime for $50 would still be a deal, since it's normally $79 for the year."
pC: "The success of the Kindle shows Amazon is prepared to think differently from others and to disrupt its own products – in the Kindle's case to disrupt the cash cow of print book sales – in order to be innovative and seize early advantage in digital markets. If Amazon's hardware is undifferentiated and virtually the same as RIM's PlayBook then Amazon has to differentiate elsewhere with content, experience and business models. Otherwise it will suffer the same fate as RIM's PlayBook. … Amazon will build a true media tablet. The first true media tablet. The Kindle tablet will focus on the future of all media – TV, movies, music, books, magazines – to enable Amazon to become the dominant digital media retailer. That is Amazon's ambition."
Guardian: "Amazon hopes its brand recognition and loyal book-buying customer base will enable it to do battle with Apple, which produced 75% of the tablets sold this year. – Research firm Forrester reckons the Kindle tablet could sell between 3m and 5m units in its first year."
VB: "The timing of Amazon's announcement might have something to do with competition from Barnes and Nobel, which is also allegedly scheduled to announce a new Nook Color tablet that will also retail for $250."
ATD: "In 2010, magazine publishers got giddy about the prospects of selling their stuff on the iPad. This year's version of the story: Lots of enthusiasm, tempered with a little bit of skepticism, over Amazon's new tablet. … Publishers will keep around 70 percent of all Amazon sales, and the retailer will share some customer data with the publishers. … The publishers who are on board with Amazon view their decision to link up as a no-brainer: They want more distribution channels for their stuff, not fewer. And they've been begging, unsuccessfully, for a credible competitor to the iPad since April 2010."
TC: "With the launch of the Kindle Fire tomorrow, I thought it would be fun to write a little bit sci-fi and imagine what the publishing market will look like in the next ten or so years. I'm a strong proponent of the ebook and, as I've said again and again, I love books but they're not going to make it past this decade, at least in most of the developed world. … 2025 – The transition is complete even in most of the developing world. The book is, at best, an artifact and at worst a nuisance. Book collections won't disappear – hold-outs will exist and a subset of readers will still print books – but generally all publishing will exist digitally."
TC: "Amazon Fires $199, 7-Inch Tablet At Apple – The Fire itself is rather characterless and dull. It looks a lot like the 7-inch BlackBerry PlayBook (probably for good reason) and features just enough tech to pass as acceptable. There's a two-point multitouch screen (the iPad has a 10-point screen), and an unspecified CPU… The most notable change is obviously the multitouch 7-inch LCD rather than an e-ink display, but moreover, the Kindle Fire is a complete storefront for the retailer rather than just an ereader. The tablet features apps for Amazon's Android Appstore, Kindle store, Amazon MP3, and Prime Instant Video. … Amazon is pricing this model aggressively. Bloomberg is reporting prior to Amazon's official event that the Kindle Fire hits at just $199 and comes with 30-days of Amazon Prime."
TC: "Amazon has revealed a new line of E-Ink Kindles that looks to bolster their 'traditional' eReader lineup. The three new models have taken the stage: the $79 Kindle, the $99 Kindle Touch, and the $149 Kindle Touch 3G. – The new super small, non-touch Kindle was announced to appeal to Amazon's legion of eReading purists. It's small enough to fit in a pack pocket, and will cost users a scant $79 – customers can order today, and Amazon says it will ship today too."
GigaOM: "They say Apple has met its first real tablet competitor. And no, it is not Samsung or Motorola. Instead it is from a company that started out selling books on the Internet: Amazon. And while there is some truth to that assertion, I wouldn't put a lot of weight in the argument. … With the new Kindles, Amazon has been able to define the hybrid retail environment. … Given that we are increasingly shifting away from buying physical media and are instead opting for digital goods, Amazon is smart in its introducing the new Kindle tablet. … Amazon's primary business is selling us things – lots of them – and getting them to us as cheaply as possible. And that includes physical and digital goods and services. That is its corporate DNA, and that DNA is going to influence all of its decisions – whether it is redesigning its website or defining new tablets. … The bottom line is that Amazon will be successful – at least more successful than Motorola or HTC – but it won't come at the expense of Apple's iPad or Samsung's Android-based tablets."

Google launches Google Wallet on Sprint: checkout wirelessly via Citi MasterCard, Pepaid Card; http://eicker.at/GoogleWallet
Gerrit Eicker is discussing.	Toggle Comments
Google: "In May we announced Google Wallet – an app that makes your phone your wallet – with Citi, MasterCard, Sprint and First Data. With Google Wallet, you can tap, pay and save using your phone and near field communication (NFC). – We've been testing it extensively, and today we're releasing the first version of the app to Sprint. That means we're beginning to roll out Google Wallet to all Sprint Nexus S 4G phones through an over-the-air update – just look for the 'Wallet' app. … Google Wallet enables you to pay with your Citi MasterCard credit card and the Google Prepaid Card, which can be funded with any of your existing plastic credit cards. As a thanks to early adopters, we're adding a $10 free bonus to the Google Prepaid Card if you set it up in Google Wallet before the end of the year."
Google: "Google Wallet is a mobile app that will make your phone your wallet. It stores virtual versions of your existing plastic cards on your phone, along with your coupons, and eventually, loyalty and gift cards. Our intention is that Google Wallet will be an open mobile wallet holding all the cards and coupons you keep in your leather wallet today. … NFC is a wireless technology that enables data transmission between two objects when they are brought within a few inches of each other. Smartphones enabled with NFC technology can exchange data with other NFC enabled devices or read information from smart tags embedded in posters, stickers, and other products. … Google Checkout is a service that enables merchants to accept and process online payments. Google Wallet, on the other hand, is a mobile app that enables users to tap and pay at physical, brick and mortar stores. … The Google Prepaid Card allows you to use Google Wallet even if you don't have an eligible Citi MasterCard. It is a virtual card powered by MasterCard and Money Network. You can fund this prepaid card with any of your existing plastic credit cards. And since it's purely virtual, you won't get a physical plastic card in the mail. You can tap and pay immediately after funds are added."
TC: "Bummed by the limited launch? Don't be. This somewhat-cautious approach is really the only way they could do it: NFC is still a relatively new technology, with a complicated network of partners, and, most importantly, involves your money. Google is really the first company with the power to move the world towards NFC – but even for them, it's going to be something of an uphill battle, and they'll have to take things one small step at a time. – Fortunately, Google also just announced their next (small step) huge leap: support for Visa, Discover, and American Express cards."
pC: "For the moment, Google Offers is only available in cities in the U.S. That means the purchase of the Daily Deal site could give Google an easy route to ramping up the service in Europe as well. … In May, when Wallet and Offers were announced by Stephanie Tilenius, Google's VP of commerce, she described how Wallet would be about more than just payments, and would also be used for loyalty programs, check-ins and other transactions. … Google is not the only one working in these areas: on the deals front it is already competing against dominant Groupon, big LivingSocial, and fast-rising Amazon, among many others."

Facebook: Sharing Privacy

Facebook: "Today we're announcing a bunch of improvements that make it easier to share posts, photos, tags and other content with exactly the people you want. You have told us that 'who can see this?' could be clearer across Facebook, so we have made changes to make this more visual and straightforward. The main change is moving most of your controls from a settings page to being inline, right next to the posts, photos and tags they affect. Plus there are several other updates here that will make it easier to understand who can see your stuff (or your friends') in any context. Here's what's coming up, organized around two areas: what shows up on your profile, and what happens when you share something new. … These changes will start to roll out in the coming days. When they reach you, you'll see a prompt for a tour that walks you through these new features from your homepage. In the meantime, you can read more about the upcoming changes from the links throughout this post. We'll look forward to your feedback on all of this. – Taken together, we hope these new tools make it easier to share with exactly who you want, and that the resulting experience is a lot clearer and a lot more fun."
WSJ/ATD: "Facebook Makes Sharing More Granular (Hmm … Where Have We Heard That Pitch Before?) – Facebook isn't borrowing the greater Google+ anatomy, like 'Circles' of friends and a mix of asymmetrical and mutual relationships. – Instead, Facebook is making a huge number of tweaks to its profile design, many of them aimed at addressing common user complaints. – This launch seems likely to ruffle Facebook users' notoriously sensitive feathers given its little tweaks affect so many parts of the Facebook experience. But at least based on the press briefing, it's not obvious that any one change will be controversial or dramatic."
NYT: "No doubt the company also wants to diminish the possibility of legislation, investigation or litigation stemming from complicated or confusing privacy settings. And with mounting competition from other social networking sites, namely Google+, which emphasizes more compartmentalized communications to different sets of friends and acquaintances, Facebook is also keen to keep its customers' trust. … Whether users will find the changes more inviting or simpler remains to be seen – as does whether they will opt to be more or less private. Facebook declined to share statistics on its users' current privacy settings."
TC: "So what changed? The obvious answer is Google+. Facebook's response to my assertion was that Facebook wished it could have built these features in the time since Google+ launched, but that work on these changes actually began around six months ago. Which is probably half true. Facebook knew Google was going to be launching a social network that would try to underscore all of its flaws — note how many of these features are already live on Google+ — so it preemptively started working to fix the things that annoy people about Facebook. – Whatever the case, these are all good changes, and they make Facebook better."
VB: "The features sound a lot like the features that appear in Google's latest social network Google+. Rather than sequester the privacy settings on a separate settings page away from the actual action on the site, Facebook is moving its privacy and sharing features straight to the main page. It removes a lot of the hassle of having to jump to different pages to tweak privacy controls."
GigaOM: "And although Facebook executives have dismissed Google+ as a non-threat, Facebook has certainly showed a renewed zest in shipping new products and features in the weeks since Google's social network launched. As my colleague Mathew Ingram wrote recently, 'It seems clear that the competition is keeping Facebook awake at night — which may be a good thing.' As Facebook and Google duke it out for consumer loyalty, they're both bringing their best efforts to the table as quickly as possible — and the real winners will be the millions of social media users across both platforms."
IF: "The changes may reduce the volume of content that is unwittingly overshared, and help users protect themselves from being associated with objectionable content against their will. The end result could be an increase in confidence in Facebook privacy that leads users to be comfortable sharing more, which could in turn increase engagement with the site. … Privacy has been Facebook's biggest problem to date. A lack of confidence in the site's privacy settings has scared away new users, frustrated existing users, and kept people from sharing more sensitive content. If Facebook can combine technological and design solutions with reassurance that users are in control of their online presence, it could leave its troubles behind and move towards making users happy rather than preventing them from getting angry."

ACSI: Social media services struggle with customer satisfaction. Facebook opens door for Google Plus; http://eicker.at/ACSISocialMedia2011
Gerrit Eicker	08:54 on 26. July 2011	Permalink | Reply
ACSI: "The social media market is primed for a new player that allows users to connect with friends, according to the 2011 American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) E-Business Report, produced in partnership with customer experience analytics firm ForeSee Results. Despite a small improvement this year, Facebook (+3% to 66) is the lowest-scoring site, not only in the social media category, but of all measured companies in this report. The survey was conducted last month, before the widespread introduction of Facebook's biggest competitor, Google+, but Facebook's low score indicates that Google+ could easily pounce and gain market share if they can provide a superior customer experience. – 'We don't know yet how Google+ will fare, but what we do know is that Google is one of the highest-scoring companies in the ACSI and Facebook is one of the lowest,' said Larry Freed, president and CEO of ForeSee Results. 'An existing dominance of market share like Facebook has is no longer a safety net for a company that is not providing a superior customer experience.' – Facebook is just one story emerging from today's report. The ACSI E-Business Report covers three categories of e-business: social media, portals and search engines, and online news. This is the twelfth annual report of its kind, allowing companies and analysts to track the performance of these organizations over time by a critical metric: customer satisfaction. – Wikipedia (+1% to 78) takes the top spot, while YouTube (+1% to 74) comes in a distant second. Myspace drops from this year's Index because there were not enough users to create a statistically significant sample. Overall, social media is one of the lowest-scoring industries measured by the ACSI – only airlines, newspapers, and subscription television services score lower. – Google leads the search engine and portals category (up 4% to 83), but Bing follows closely, jumping an impressive 7% in one year to 82. Anything over 80 is generally considered an excellent score. Bing has grown in market share over the last year and makes up roughly 17% of the search engine market, up from 9% last year. – 'While Google+ is the challenger to Facebook's established dominance in the social media sphere, in the search engine wars, Google is king and Bing is hoping to be a contender,' added Freed. 'Last year, Google's customer satisfaction score was three points higher than Bing's. This year, that gap narrows to one point. Bing is showing it can challenge Google in terms of revenue, market share, and the customer experience.'"

In order to drive your vehicle lawfully in Texas, you must have auto insurance coverage in the event of a serious car accident. Texas law requires you to have basic liability coverage. You may also be required to have collision coverage and comprehensive coverage if you are still making payments on your car.
When you select auto insurance coverage in Texas, you will also have the ability to choose personal injury protection (PIP) coverage or medical payments (med pay) coverage. There are pros and cons to each type of coverage, and both are designed to provide some form of compensation in the event of physical injury in an accident.
Generally speaking, PIP and Med Pay are similar to one another in a number of ways and have similar costs, but you may be better off with PIP coverage. We will say more about each type of coverage, and then provide you with some additional information to consider whether PIP is better than Med Pay.
What is Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Coverage in Texas?
Cost of hiring a caregiver for the injury victim.
PIP covers the driver, the driver's family members, any passengers in the driver's car, and other injured people. In Texas, auto insurance companies automatically provide PIP coverage, but the insured has the option to decline the coverage in writing. Texas auto insurers must offer $2,500 in PIP coverage to insured drivers, but drivers can waive this coverage (however, we do not advise you to do this). Also, drivers have the option to pay for additional PIP coverage if they desire to do so.
What is Medical Payments (Med Pay) Coverage in Texas?
Med Pay coverage is similar to PIP coverage in that it provides compensation in the event of an auto accident that results in bodily injury. Like PIP coverage, Med Pay is a "no fault" type of coverage, so it does not matter who is liable for the accident in order for the insured to seek compensation.
Also similar to PIP coverage, Med Pay provides coverage for the driver, the driver's family members, any passengers in the driver's car, and other injured people, including cyclists or pedestrians who have gotten hurt in the accident.
Funeral bills resulting from a fatal injury.
One of the significant differences between the two types of coverage is that PIP coverage pays for lost wages, while Med Pay does not.
As we mentioned above, the first key distinction between PIP and Med Pay coverage is that PIP coverage can provide compensation for up to 80 percent of wages lost due to your inability to work. Med Pay does not compensate for lost wages.
Imagine that you have Med Pay coverage, and you get hurt in an accident caused by another driver's careless behavior behind the wheel. You file a claim for Med Pay coverage and receive a check. At the same time, you are trying to seek compensation from the responsible driver.
Ultimately, you are able to recover from that other driver. At that point, the insurance company requires that you repay the Med Pay coverage you received. This "paying back" is the process of "subrogation." Under the Med Pay system, the insurance company essentially pays you for the other driver's liability.
If you are able to recover from the other driver, the insurance company sees this as you needing to repay the insurer since it already paid in advance for the other driver's liability. Since Med Pay requires you to pay back the insurer if you recover from the negligent party, Med Pay tends to be a little bit less expensive than PIP coverage.
Finally, PIP coverage allows for coverage under more than one policy, allowing injury victims to add together (or "stack") coverage in certain circumstances.
For instance, imagine if you are riding in a car as a passenger, and the driver has PIP coverage. You also carry PIP coverage, and the vehicle is involved in a serious accident. You sustain injuries that exceed the amount of PIP coverage you have. If this happens, you may be able to recover under both the driver's insurance policy and PIP coverage, as well under your own PIP coverage.
Should I Choose PIP Coverage or Med Pay Coverage?
First, many drivers and passengers alike may already have much of the medical coverage provided under Med Pay through their health insurance policies. That is a general reason you may want to select PIP coverage over Med Pay coverage. While it may not be true of all drivers, you should look into the type of coverage your health insurer provides to determine whether you would be getting substantial additional benefits from Med Pay in the event of a collision.
Second, the issue of subrogation with Med Pay often means that PIP coverage is the better choice for many drivers.
Finally, the fact that you can "stack" PIP coverage—obtaining additional compensation when the driver's policy limits to not pay fully for your injuries—often makes it more desirable than Med Pay coverage.

Stars realize a variety of physical conditions inaccessible in the lab. Various stages of stellar evolution are influenced by microphysical processes that are sensitive to the fundamental properties of elementary particles. This makes it possible to use them as particle physics laboratories. Until recently, stars of 5-10 solar masses were not considered particularly useful for particle physics. I will discuss how the evolution of these stars can be qualitatively changed by neutrino magnetic moments or axion emission. In particular, the mere existence of Cepheid variable stars turns out to provide world's best bound on the axion-photon coupling in a broad range of parameters.

The governor probably needs a reminder that his budget priorities are askew with the needs of average Pennsylvanians. As he travels the state trying to explain himself to taxpayers, he is spinning some outlandish tales – especially as they relate to job growth, education and our social safety net.
It's not a reminder, but the House and Senate Democratic caucuses have unveiled a website that you can use to fact check the governor and learn the whole story. Details are below.
Thanks for reading and being the best reasons why the 1st Senatorial District is a great place to live, work and play.
Need to renew your driver's license? What about vehicle registration? You can go to PennDOT to get this done, or you can obtain a variety of driver and vehicle products and services online through PennDOT's Driver and Vehicle Services website.
Driver and vehicle services are available 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week and you can renew your driver's license, photo ID or vehicle registration; check driver-history services; record a change of address; obtain driver license and vehicle registration restoration letters; pay driver license or vehicle insurance restoration fees; requestdriver license and photo ID duplicates; and schedule driver exams. There are no additional fees for using online services.
You can also get PennDOT traffic conditions before your trip by visiting www.511pa.com or calling 511. Also, follow PennDOT on Twitter and "like" them on Facebook.
Do not approach downed wires, which still be energized.
Be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas that is produced by generators, lanterns and gas ranges.
If you need to travel, use extreme caution and be sure to take a blanket and emergency items with you in case you become stranded.
Incident and construction information is available for all 40,000 miles of state-owned roadway at www.511PA.com. The website also provides access to traffic cameras and updates conditions for 2,900 miles of roadway.
Visit www.readypa.org for information on how to make a family emergency plan and to build your emergency supply kit.
Gov. Tom Corbett's budget speech and follow up opinion pieces and interviews have painted a picture of Pennsylvania that is blurry, inaccurate and badly in need of correction. And, I strongly agree!
Given the governor's slanted view of the problems that face Pennsylvania, it is important that citizens are able to access objective information. So check out our new fact-checking website: www.checkthefactsgovcorbett.com.
The site delivers the truth behind the governor's claims and is easy and fun to use. While I don't have to tell you our economy continues to sputter, the governor is claiming it is making a comeback. That's wrong, and you can learn why it is wrong through the website.
Another great point Tom Corbett continues to ignore is he is continuing to delay providing health care insurance to working Pennsylvanians by pushing his Healthy PA plan instead of by expanding Medicaid. That wrong-headed plan is also costing the state $400 million in precious budget savings.
There are many, many other examples on the website. Visit today, you'll be glad you did.
The days of wishing you could ride a bike to get from point A to point B in Philadelphia will soon be over!
The city's Bike Share Philadelphia program is slated to begin by early fall. With it, you will have access to hundreds of bikes at nearly 50 bike share stations throughout Center City and parts of University City.
The first phase of this great idea will add some 2,000 bikes to approximately 200 sharing stations. Think how good that will be for our environment and for the health of those who participate in the program!
When Bike Share Philadelphia begins, all that you will need to do is pick up a bike at a station in one area and drop it off at another station once you pedal to where you want to go.


People in the world tend to gauge success a little differently than God does. This month we'll be looking at the different ways people determine success.
It's as if people look through different glasses, to try to figure out how successful someone is. Over the next few weeks, we'll look at 4 different pairs of glasses that people might look through.
Now, we're NOT saying that money's not important, so don't go out and quit your job! However, your financial state isn't what determines your success rate.
Maybe the glasses of finance aren't an issue for you? Check out next week's blog to see which pair of glasses your wearing!

The Suicide Squad, also known as Task Force X, is a name for two fictional organizations in the DC Comics Universe. The first version debuted in The Brave and the Bold (vol. 1) #25 (1959), and the second in Legends #3 (1987). An "original" Suicide Squad was retconned into existence in Secret Origins (vol. 2) #14, in order to form a connection between the two Squads. The current Suicide Squad (created by John Ostrander in the aforementioned Legends #3) is an anti-hero team of incarcerated supervillains who act as deniable assets for the United States government, undertaking high-risk black ops missions in exchange for commuted prison sentences. The group operates out of Belle Reve Penitentiary, under the command of government agent Amanda Waller.

Birding is Booming
Corvids, nope that's not a typo, are a stout-billed family of birds made up of some of the most intelligent beings within the species including crows, treepies, magpies, nutcrackers, ravens, and jays like the Steller's Jay pictured here.
Connect with Nature and Reap the Benefits of Birding
With the Coronavirus pandemic forcing people all over the globe to stay at home, many individuals have turned to hobbies, both new and old, as a way to pass the time. One hobby that has become particularly popular is birding.
Since the beginning of the quarantine period, activities surrounding birding have shown a marked uptick. Bird seed sales are up for many companies, a great deal of birding apps have reported increased downloads, and some live bird watching cameras have even shown increased visits. Most recent studies from the US Fish and Wildlife Service estimated that over 20%1 of the US population participates in birding activities - and in the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak, that number is likely much higher. It seems that in staying home and away from others, many people have found a connection and fascination with birds. But this interest is nothing new.
Long before the word 'quarantine' was ever a part of daily conversation, people all around the world were fascinated by birds. For centuries, birders have spent hours watching and listening for these winged creatures at backyard feeders, nature trails, parks, beaches and just about anywhere else that birds can be found.
A whole community of individuals with a shared passion for birds has long been established, but what makes this species so special that a whole community would be built around them? Why not watch squirrels or rabbits, or any of the other creatures you may see roaming through your backyard?
Birds come in an abundance of striking varieties. While there are varieties within all animal species, birds of all colors, shapes and sizes frequent the same spaces in a way that is not seen among other animals. Not only that, but the variation among birds is like no other animal species. You may see a squirrel that is a slightly different color or size from other squirrels, but it is nothing like the diverse characteristics found among birds.
A look at these three bird species, the Anna's Hummingbird, Painted Bunting, and Pileated Woodpecker, and it becomes clear just how diverse the bird world really is.

Birds have unique songs. Unlike many other animals, birds can announce themselves by songs and calls. If other animals were to announce themselves in this way, they would likely be tracked down by predators; but given that birds can fly, they are usually able to tweet and chatter without the fear of a predator attack. The songs and calls of each bird species add another element to birding that makes the experience even more fun.
Birds are everywhere. There is a reason birding is an activity enjoyed around the world and it's because birds can be found just about anywhere. From the common backyard visitors, to those unique to tropical locations, there is no shortage of bird species to find. No matter where you are: in the city, at the beach, or simply by a window, you are likely to see or hear a bird nearby.
Once you start, it's hard to stop. Consider this your warning, once you get started on birding, it can become hard to stop! Just like someone who collects coins or baseball cards, birders keep track of birds they have seen. And, just like the collectors, they want to see them all. This makes every new bird an exciting and rewarding sight.
Birding is a skill. For many birders, the fun of birding lies not only in trying to see as many birds as possible, but also in practicing and perfecting identification skills. Improving your identification skills and learning to identify new birds is one of the most rewarding elements of birding.
It's a community. Birding and bird watching has been around for a long time, making the community a well-established bunch. And while some may be satisfied with the individual benefits of birding, the opportunity for social connections through the activity make it even more attractive for others. If you are looking for a way to get connected with other birders, join the Lyric Bird Facebook Page, where birders gather.
Reading about birds can only do so much to explain how special these creatures really are. Experience first hand the joys of birding by setting up a feeder in your own backyard. And to attract the most beautiful birds to your new feeder, make sure you fill it with Lyric Supreme Wild Bird Mix, a great option for birders old and new.

An old first round pick is heading to Dallas
Chicago Blackhawks 2013th first round pick Ryan Hartman is heading to Dallas in a trade with forward Tyler Pitlick, as Tweeted by the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night.
Considered as a bust, Hartman will play for a fourth team in less than two years. After he made the trip back and forth between AHL and NHL from 2013 through 2016, he finally got a permanent spot with the Blackhawks.
In 2017-2018, he played 57 games under Joel Quenneville, and was traded to Nashville at the trade deadline.
Last year, Hartman scored 10 goals and made 20 points in 64 games. Once again he got traded at the deadline for forward Wayne Simmonds. The 24 years old was then a new Philadelphia Flyers, where he got two goals and four assists in 19 games.
He'll play for a fourth team in 18 months. His best NHL season so far was in 2016-17 with Chicago, where he scored 19 goals and got 31 points in 76 games.
Philadelphia acquire Edmonton's 2010th second round pick Tyler Pitlick in the trade. The 27 years old forward has never been able to be a consistent top 6 forward as he was projected before his draft year.
After three seasons played with Oklahoma City Barons and the Oilers, Pitlick tested the free agency market and was signed by the Dallas Stars, where he got his very first chance to become an NHLer. His best season was in 2017-18 with 27 points in 80 games.
Going the same way in 2018-19, Pitlick got injured for 35 games. He scored eight goals en route for a 12 points season in only 47 games played.

Holland draw at Macedonia
The Dutch national team could get past Macedonia on Saturday: 2-2. In the same qualifying group, the Czech Republic defeated Romania. Belgium lost to Spain.
Holland, with Wesley Sneijder and Nigel de Jong in the starting line-up, were never able to impress gaianst the home team, that had kept England on 2-2 two years ago. Hardly any chances were created in the first half and the match seemed headed into halftime with a 0-0 score. Until goalkeeper Nikoloski wanted to prevent Bouma from heading the ball but instead put it in his own goal. But Macedonia immediately scored on the other end through Pandev.
After an hour Holland coach Marco van Basten brought on Rafael van der Vaart for Phillip Cocu and Roy Makaay for Pierre van Hooijdonk. It seemed to help as Holland got more grip on the opponent. Dirk Kuyt scored, but again Holland could not hang on to the lead; Stojkov made it 2-2.
Tomás Galásek is the new captain for the Czech Republic who hosted Bogdan Lobont's Romania on Saturday. The home team won: Lobont was unable to stop a penalty by Jan Koller, 1-0.
Wesley Sonck's Belgium lost to Spain by 2-0. The Belgians finished with only nine players after Deflandre and Goor were sent off. Tom de Mul, new in the squad, did not see any playing time.

são pequenos bilhetes onde as pessoas fazem seus pedidos e os prendem em bambus no dia do Tanabata. Este costume teve origem no ano de 1818. Os papéis, tradicionalmente, possuem as seguintes cores:
 branco (paz);
 amarelo (dinheiro)
 verde (esperança)
 vermelho (paixão)
 rosa (amor)
 azul (proteção dos céus).

Os bilhetes com os pedidos são queimados no final da festa para que os desejos cheguem ao céu. Segundo a Lenda, as estrelas Altair e Vega realizarão o pedido.

No Japão, a maior comemoração do Festival Tanabata - derivado do nome da divindade Tanabatatsume - é realizado na cidade de Sendai, capital da província de Miyagui, onde são erguidos mais de três mil mastros de bambus ao longo de suas ruas centrais atraindo milhões de visitantes. Em São Paulo, no Bairro da Liberdade, mais de 100 mil pessoas celebram a data com inúmeros festejos.

BACKGROUND OF SEAMAINE
WHAT IS SEAMAINE?
SEAMaine, or the Seafood Economic Accelerator for Maine, is an industry-led initiative bringing together leaders in Maine's commercial fishing, aquaculture, and seafood economy. Funded by the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration, with match funding from the Maine Technology Institute and FocusMaine, the statewide initiative is developing a roadmap and action plan for economic growth, market and workforce development, and greater resiliency in Maine's seafood economy.
The seafood that comes from Maine's coastal waters and the Gulf of Maine, and the working waterfront communities along our coast, support thousands of good paying jobs and already contribute to the state's $6 billion tourism industry. Imagine what Maine could be if our wild-caught fisheries, aquaculture businesses, fishermen, sea-farmers, and communities were granted opportunities to diversify and grow our marine economy in Maine, the U.S., and across the globe, and create new market opportunities.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH AND RESILIENCE
The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with the rapid changes occurring in the marine environment from climate change, shifts in global market demand, add up to unprecedented change, but also exceptional opportunities for creating growth, resiliency, and sustainability in Maine's marine economy. Advances in technology, Maine's proximity to 150 million consumers within a 24-hour transport zone, the reputation of the Maine brand, and growing global interest in aquaculture and other seafood products suggest an untapped opportunity to grow good jobs and build a forward-looking economy in Maine.
Supported by investments in workforce, infrastructure, and innovation, Maine's seafood economy is poised to attract investments into local economies, existing and new businesses, and preserve the working characteristics of our coastal communities that attract millions of tourists (and their dollars) each year.
THE "SEAFOOD MARKETPLACE" FOR NEW ENGLAND
Seafood is one of the most sustainably grown and harvested foods for human consumption. Compared to other types of food, it is produced with far less environmental impact, and in some cases, even improves environmental quality. In the 1800s Maine's agricultural sector gave the state the moniker of the "Breadbasket of New England;" Our seafood economy, well supported by these efforts, can transform Maine into the "Fish-counter" for New England and beyond for years to come. SEAMaine plans to build the roadmap and strategic plan leading right to that "Seafood Marketplace."
SEAMaine will create economic growth and resiliency in Maine's seafood economy by:
Providing support to sustain Maine's existing marine resource businesses by growing and diversifying markets for Maine seafood.
Supporting the needs of today and the future of workforce in Maine's marine economy
Attracting investment and talent in the seafood economy to support new technology and product development in the sector
Strengthening Maine's coastal communities through the preservation and improvements of our working waterfronts.
Increasing the amount and value of marine living resources originating from Maine's coastal waters in a way that minimizes the carbon footprint of the marine resource sector, increases competitiveness of Maine businesses, and maximizes resiliency and diversification.

Cordillera, a name given by the Spanish Conquistadors when they first saw the mountain ranges. Meaning "knotted rope", the Spanish term refers to the jumbled rolls and dips of this long-range traversing the northern part of Luzon Island.
Living amidst the rice terraces that tower over Northern Luzon are a people whose way of life existed long before any Spaniard or other foreigners stepped foot on the Philippines. The Bontoc, Ifugao, Benguet, Apayo, and the Kalinga tribes reign over Luzon's mountain terrain. They are pagan people, living simple lives to appease their gods. Their rituals celebrate their daily lives - a good harvest, health, peace, war, and other symbols of living. Such traditions have survived the changing scope of the Philippines and the tribes continue to maintain their cultures that are a part of the colorful cultural fabric known as Philippine culture.
In Banga (dance of the pots). Kalingas of the Mountain Province in the Philippines illustrate the languid grace of a tribe otherwise known as fierce warriors. Heavy earthen pots, as many as seven or eight at a time, are balanced on the heads of maidens as they trudge to the beat of the gangsa displaying their stamina and strength as they go about their daily task of fetching water and balancing the banga.
Also popularly called Bendian, this circle dance of the Benguet of Mountain Province is restaged, keeping true to the dance's context and meaning. Long known as a dance to celebrate the arrival of successful headhunters, the Bendayan has taken a new face. It is part of every Benguet festivity with the circles slowly giving way to other formations and interpretations.
When the Kalinga gather to celebrate a happy occasion like the birth of a first-born baby boy, a wedding, or a budong (peace pact), the Kalinga Festival Dance (Tachok) is performed. This is danced by the Kalinga maiden. The dance imitates birds flying in the air. Music is provided by gangsa, or gongs, which are usually in a group of six or more.
Three Bago Tribe roosters compete against each other for the attention of Lady Lien. They use blankets depicting colorful plumes to attract her.
This dance portrays the walk of the industrious Kalingga women, carrying water pots on their heads and wearing the colorful hand-woven "blankets of life" around their necks. Their walk imitates the climb up the Rice Terraces in the Mountain Provinces of the Philippines.
Tribes in the mountain provinces of Luzon preserve their identity, customs and lore. Their dances celebrate important events in life such as birth, wedding, victory in war and thanksgiving. A Kalinga wedding dance is an important celebration. The bridegroom offers the bride the protection and comfort of his blanket. He simulates the movements of a rooster at love play, aspiring to attract and seize his love. The bride's friends are ready to help prepare the bride by offering "bangas" (earthen pots) filled with fresh water from the mountain spring.
The Salidsid is the Kalinga courtship dance, performed by a male and female (and thus is sometimes called the "cayoo" dance). The dance starts when each of the dancers are given a pice of cloth called ayob or allap. Usually the most important people in the village are the second to dance after the host has signified that the occasion is formally open. The background and meaning in this dance is evident. The male simulates a rooster trying to attract the attention of a hen while the female imitates the movements of a hen being circled by a rooster.
Gaddang comes from the word ga, meaning "heat" and dang, meaning burned". The Gaddang live in the middle of Cagayan Valley and speak a language similar to Ilokano. Most of them converted to Christianity, and those who live alongside Christianized Ilokano groups have more or less adjusted to settled agriculture of mixed crops. Small and scattered groups in southeastern Kalinga, eastern Bontoc, and Isabela regions retain their indigenous religion and practice swidden agriculture (the cutting back and burning of existing vegetation to produce temporary farming plots) with supplementary hunting and fishing. In this dance, the Gaddang imitate birds attracted to tobacco trees.
Two tareketek woodpeckers vie for the attention of three females. One Male woodpecker rhythmically bang on a brass gong to represent a good voice, while the other swish about a colorful blanket representing beautiful plumage.


(5.) My first visit. The moment I first stepped onto the sound stage and saw the set for Room itself: a wooden shed, but with big square 'blacks' (to vary the light through the skylight) angled above it so it looked like a weird little Noah's Ark, dwarfed by the huge space. Inside, the shed was so much more shabby and grubby than I'd imagined it, and I realized one important way the movie would be different from the book: in the novel, we only see through Jack's eyes, but the film would have to pull off the trick of showing us how things really looked in that prison cell as well as the rose-tinted way Jack saw them.
(4.) The moment Jacob shouted out to warn a Grip not to trip over a wire, and I realized it was possible for a child actor to star in several films, with hordes of adults fussing over his every move, and still be a nice, ordinary kid.
(3.) The wonderfully perfectionist Production Designer really wanted snow for the final scene, in which Jack and Ma emerge into a wintry world after saying goodbye to the shed in which they spent all those years. But apparently fake snow – made of potato – is hell to clean up, and would have really eaten into the budget. So no to snow. (A previous morning, when we didn't want any, there was lots of snow that had to be hosed away with hot water.) But then on the day, Mother Nature provided: faint but visible snowflakes spiraling poignantly down on Ma and Jack as they walked hand in hand into their future.
(2.) There was one strikingly handsome Assistant A.D. who seemed so competent that he was always there when you needed something… and I only realized at the Wrap Party, when two of him in matching white suits walked in, that they were a pair of twin brothers. It was a shock reveal more like a movie than real life.
(1.) Paradoxically, some of my favourite parts of the film are details – actions or spoken lines – that I didn't write. But the thing is, whenever the actors improvised something good, it was in character, and in the spirit of my script. So I've come to realize that it doesn't necessarily matter how many lines get cut, and when people ask me 'So what percentage of the book got changed?', I tell them that's the wrong question. What matters is, has the magic survived the translation from one art form to the other? One example: there's a scene I put in the script in which Ma and Jack are lying in the bath and she tells him the Selkie (Fisherman captures Woman from the Sea) legend. In the book it's a key reference, not only emphasizing the timeless, archetypal element's of Ma's story of captivity, but gesturing towards the possibility of escape. What made it into the finished film, instead of that conversation, was a wordless scene of Jack and Ma in the bath, splashing each other relaxedly: two people who love each other, on a tiny planet of their own, with all the time in the world. Which works even better.
I loved this book and remember talking about it for days. I can't wait for the movie.
Born in Dublin in 1969, I am an award-winning writer, living in Canada with my family. My latest novel is Frog Music, a multifaceted murder mystery set in San Francisco, 1876. My first full-length feature, ROOM (which I adapted from my novel), will be released this fall. The film is directed by Lenny Abrahamson and stars Brie Larson.


Following a successful pilot phase, the service was expanded in January 2018 to make it available to any researcher who wished to share data associated with a peer-reviewed scholarly work (including papers, books and conference proceedings), whether published by Springer Nature or by another publisher. Given our commitment to supporting our researchers in sharing data and code underlying publications, Wellcome was keen to test whether this type of service could add value – both in terms of helping researchers to meet funder requirements and in making the data more discoverable and useable.
Wellcome has therefore initiated a pilot with Springer Nature to offer the Research Data Support service to our funded researchers. We are supporting costs associated with the service for an initial fixed number of datasets, and these will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. A dataset can include a wide range of files supporting a publication of up to 50 gigabytes in total combined size. The broad scope of the pilot means that any previously unpublished files that have been generated as part of research, other than the research paper or manuscript, can be submitted to Research Data Support. And, qualifying researchers can utilise Research Data Support to share data that support any Wellcome-funded study being published in any peer-reviewed journal. Researchers publishing in Wellcome Open Research will shortly be able to take up the option to access the Research Data Support service directly through the submission system. In the meantime, please contact the Wellcome Open Research team if you have any questions or would like to make use of the Service for data associated with a WOR article. The team will of course continue to provide advice and support to all authors, whether they opt to make use of the service or not...."

Police are looking for a second suspect after three people were injured during a shooting that happened at a Royal Farms store early Sunday morning.
The Wicomico County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting that sent three people to the hospital overnight in Salisbury.
The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. at the Royal Farms at 7900 Royalty Way, where a fight took place leading to a gun being drawn and fired.
A female customer not involved in the altercation received minor injuries during the incident and was transported to PRMC. Two other victims would also arrive at PRMC a short time later in their personal vehicle. One was treated and released, the other was transported to R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma with non-life threatening injuries.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division at 410.548.4898, or to leave an anonymous tip, call Crime Solvers at 410.548.1776.
Two people are dead following a crash in Dewey Beach. The deadly collision took place on Coastal Highway near Saulsbury St.
The fatal incident occurred around 5 p.m. Saturday evening when officials say that two bicyclists were struck by a car and the driver of the SUV is in serious condition after hitting an electric pole.
The vehicle, a 2017 Chevrolet Suburban driven by a 61-year-old New York-man, suffered what is called an acute medical event that caused him to black out. The vehicle then crossed into the route 1 southbound lanes toward the Starboard, where two Washington D.C. men, ages 53 and 58 were standing while straddling their bicycles, striking the two men.
Both men that were struck were pronounced dead at the scene, while the driver was transported to Beebe Hospital for treatment. Impairment nor distraction is believed to be a factor in the crash.
The Maryland panel that oversees judges' conduct has recommended that Baltimore's chief judge be removed from his position and not be permitted to serve as a judge in the state.

HADIZA BALA USMAN'S TENURE ELONGATION: GROUP THREATENS COURT ACTION *The Gen Abdulsalami Connection.
Breaking News, Maritime, Press Release
A group of concerned stakeholders in the maritme sector which calls itself The Maritime Advocacy Initiative have threatened to institute a legal action against the Federal Government if the Presidency failed to reverse what it called an attempt to elongate the tenure Hadiza Bala Usman through the back door. The 5 year tenure of Hadiza Bala Usman as Managing Director of Nigeria Ports Authority would expire in June The group said in a statement in Lagos obtained exclusively by Shipping World that whereas Mr President reserves the right to appoint anyone of his choice into a public office as enshrined in the 1999 constitution as ammended, renewing her tenure five months before its expiration makes the exercise of that power a nullity. Spokesman for the group, Capt Ishola Kehinde asked ...

NIMASA: A revolving door no godfather can shut
Business, Misc
By Pius Mordi In its 30-year history since the National Shipping Policy Decree 10 of 1987 set up the National Maritime Authority, over 12 substantive directors general have been appointed to head the agency that in August 2007 became the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA). Within the period, about four people had run the agency in acting capacity. Invariably, at less than 30 months actual time spent in office, it enjoys the unenviable reputation of having the highest turnover of chief executives among all agencies of the federal government. A common feature of the parastatal is that the number of its substantive directors general is directly proportional with the number of ministers of transport appointed over the period. Every new minister of transport always...

Asu Beks to Chubuike Amaechi, you lied on N250m approval limit for MAN, Oron
Foremost maritime journalist and Publisher of Shipping World Magazine, Elder Asu Beks has challenged Transportation Minister, Chibuike Amaechi to come out clean with facts and figures that the management of the Maritime Academy of Nigerian (MAN), Oron not only squandered N19b but also abused their N250m approval limit. Amaechi had disclosed during a radio program, Political Platform, monitored in Abuja that the out-gone management mismanaged huge sums disbursed to it while justifying the appointment of a 6-man Committee headed by the Chief Adebayo Sarumi to oversee the institution for six months . The Minister had claimed on the Radio program monitored on Tuesday that there was nothing on ground at Oron to justify the huge funds made available to the institution. Asu Beks challenged...
Transport Minister Frowns at Increase on Port Charges by NPA, Shipping Companies
Business, Port News
The recent decision by the management of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to increase its port charges may not have gone down well with the Minister of Transport, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi. A source close to the Ministry of Transport told SHIPPING DAY that the Ministry is particularly concerned that the increase has led to a similar increase on port charges by some shipping companies. It was gathered that the Minister was informed by officials that the increase was done by NPA without notifying the Nigerian Shippers' Council (NSC) as the Ports Economic Regulator. Our source said that the Council had drawn the attention of the Ministry to the decision of the NPA, expressing worry that the review had prompted some shipping companies to also raise their tariff. According to the source, the Cou...

Mexican Art History-The MUST-See Murals
Сентро, Мексика
2.5 часа
До 7 чел.
You'll discover the '3 Greats' of BELLAS ARTES PALACE - large scale, representative murals by DIEGO RIVERA, OROZCO and SIQUEIROS. Each of whom had a distinct political agenda about molding a new Mexican National Identity through art. Rafa will then guide you to a very special market called Abelardo Rodriguez which is NOT all a famous spot, but IS a local treasure. It is a traditional, active market, PACKED with works by Rivera's best students, including the hidden murals of 30's art stars the Greenwood Sisters-hailing from NY. Also>>> Mon-Fri: Rafa gets you past the security guards & Xray machines, to enter the Ministry of Education, whose private offices are PACKED with Diego RIVERA frescos. This are classic RIVERAS; floor to ceiling narratives depicting Mexican history. OR Weekends: Visit the charming blue & white novo-spanish baroque home of Count del Valle de Orizaba (aka La Casa de los Azulejos) where you'll discover the fresco-style hidden mural of José Clemente Orozco. It references the rather romantic hopes and dreams of a newly established aristocratic society in Mexico City. Do you know who Diego Rivera dubbed "The Greatest Living Women Mural Painters" ? Clue: sadly it wasn't Frida. Rafa will take you to see these womens' works to see if you agree with Rivera's verdict!
I'm Laura Ainscough, Founder of Stylewalk MX. Our professional guide, Rafael Rios, is the co-host for this art-history walking tour. Rafa is an accessible, friendly expert in both Art History & Mexican History. For 15 years Rafa was Official Guide at the National Palace (home to Diego RIVERA's famous, massive mural -'The History of Mexico'). During this time he was responsible for introducing diplomatic officials, international academics and a plethora of visiting Diego Rivera fans to the art history of Mexico. Rafa was also Staff Writer for 'Efímera' for 10 years - a monthly Mexican Culture & History national publication. Rafa originally got into guiding and writing because he is an avid reader. The more he read, the more he became interested in Mexican culture, and to question its often contradictory idiosyncracies!
A bottle of water to combat the altitude!
The experience is located in Mexico City's most historically important area: downtown CENTRO HISTORICO. On weekends, you'll go to La Casa de Azulejos Alternatively, Monday-Friday, you'll go to The Secretary of Education Building.

1967 DOB: april 23, 1967
Birthplace: Fullerton, California, USA.
early years David Griswold, www.vintagebmx.com, september 2004: I first met Josh at the BMX track in Medford, OR in 1981. I was just starting my racing career and he was ending his. He was getting interesting in something called 'freestyle'. I remember his from the beginning as a fun guy and a great jumper. He rode a candy apple red PK Ripper. We stayed in touch of the next couple of years, and rode together on occasion.
1984 Josh pulled the first 540°.
When did you go for your first 540 and what happened ?
Josh White: The end of 1984. I read that Andy Patterson (racer) was doing 360 on a quarterpipe. I said "No way !" I kept trying it and trying it and I couldn't do it because I couldn't land backward. I knew it'd be easier if I landed forward. So I tried it, spinning a little harder. Surprisingly, it took me about five tries to pull one off because I'd been trying 360's for so long.
So far as you know, you were the first to do a 540 ?
Josh White: As far as I know yes. However, you can never claim a trick, because someone else could have been trying it in some other part of the world at the same time.
David Griswold, www.vintagebmx.com, september 2004: I remember the first time, late in 84, that I saw him do a 540 on a quarter pipe. He wasn't getting above the coping at the time, but I recall that I knew I was witnessing something that no one else had ever seen before.
Drew Lamb, september 2008: I rode in the Concrete Commandos with Josh White after David Griswold left for the Air Force. Josh dialed in his 540s on my 1/4 pipe. That ramp in the '84 photo ended up at my mom's house in west Medford. Josh was pullin' 540s above the coping.
Drew Lamb, september 2008: Josh hit it big at the Venice Beach, CA freestyle contest. People were freaking out over some unknown kid from Ashland, OR doin' 540s airs. At the time he was going by the name Josh Eisenhauer. I really wanted to ride in that contest, but my mom wouldn't allow me to go. I was 15 at the time. I don't know if I was that good, but Josh claimed that I could have won the flatland competition. I doubt that I could have won, but Josh was always a positive, encouraging kind of person.
This is the first record of a 540, before he learned to do them above the coping. Josh had been pulling them for about 2 months.
1985 Concrete Commandos.
David Griswold, www.vintagebmx.com, september 2004: That winter and the next spring (1985), we and a couple of other friends formed a team called the 'Concrete Commandos'. We put on shows at local schools and businesses. It was some of the most fun I have ever had in BMX. I was the promoter/announcer/sometimes rider, and Josh and my other friends Scott and Jerrid were the talent. Josh continued to get better. The Concrete Commandos lasted for about 6 months, and then we were all off in our own directions. Josh got discovered at a contest in SoCal later that year or the next, and his career took off. I was off, in the Air Force, to Omaha, and got back into racing.
Drew Lamb, september 2008: Sometime around '85 the Concrete Commandos consisted of Josh White, Scott Shafer (Flaming Dragon Tattoo in Tacoma, WA), and myself (Drew Lamb). Scott was in the Army and we used his fatigues for a show that we did at Chuck E Cheese in Medford, Oregon. We put masonite on that ramp and painted it lavender. During the Chuck E Cheese show we put the ramp inside of the "pizza time theater" and Josh was almost scraping the ceiling! It was a tough gig. The tile floor was really slippery and we kept sliding out into the kids during our landings. Didn't matter, Josh had 540s dialed and was sticking them perfectly.
David Griswold, www.vintagebmx.com, september 2004: Josh was skipping school to hang out with me, telling his mom that he hurt his back, which he really had. So, we are riding the ramp, and Josh was about 3 months more advanced than in the photos, starting to get his 540s closer to the coping. This photographer from the Medford Mail Tribune shows up. Takes some pictures, asks some questions, and leaves. Josh goes home that night. The next day, I call Josh, after school, to see about coming down to Ashland to ride, and he is grounded. Turns out the photo made the front page of the newspaper, and his mom and the school officials saw it. He was in trouble for a few weeks.
Steve, www.vintagebmx.com, september 2004: I met Josh in Fall of '85 as I was going to College in Ashland. He tried to tell me he just got picked up by Dyno, I blew it off thinking "yeah, right, some kid in Ashland, OR is factory Dyno" needless to say, he was right and I was stupid, one year later he was on the cover of Freestylin'.
The Concrete Commandos (and a few extras) - February 1985.
1986 1st place 16&over expert ramps and 3rd place 16&over expert flatland @ 1986 AFA Masters round 2.
When Josh White came out you would have thought someone from outer space had arrived, the excitement level jumped so much. With only two-and-a-half minutes to the routine, the photographers were all scrambling wildy to get the best possible angles on every aerial. Josh never did reach the extreme altitudes he had achieved in Saturday's practice, but he still beat Tony and blew the doors off everybody else in his class with eight-to-ten-foot aerials.
The surprise of the 16&over flatland class was that the much-heralded Josh White proved to be a red-hot ground styler, too. In fact, Josh originally tied Rick Moliterno for second with his routine and ended up with third only after losing a squeaker of a tie breaker.
1st place 16&over expert ramps and 3rd place 16&over expert flatland @ 1986 AFA Masters round 3.
There was a run-off for second between Karl Rothe and Josh White. One minute, do-or-die. Karl edged out Josh for the win, but it wasn't because Josh wasn't trying. Josh didn't seem too bummed about his ground placing, though. Maybe his win in the ramp class helped. Oh, by the way ... he won the overall, too. Congratulations, Mr. White.

He was ripping, but somehow the flair wasn't there.
