Source: The Miami HeraldSept.mini storage 07--Retired Coral Gables physician Marty Arostegui fled his native Cuba in 1960 when he was 14. Busy with career, family and fishing -- setting 420 International Game Fish Association world records on various types of tackle) -- he never returned to the Communist-ruled island until 2010. Of course, it was his passion for fishing that drew him back.Now the 66-year-old IGFA trustee is working to promote recreational angling in Cuba, and maybe along the way encourage a less-hostile relationship between his former home and his adopted land."Time has passed and we're getting older," Arostegui said. "Maybe there are other ways to bring about change that don't involve a constant state of antagonism."Arostegui said he has no wish to debate the politics of U.S.-Cuba relations. Instead, he focuses on person-to-person interactions with regular citizens, visiting international anglers and fisheries officials in Cuba.During a couple of recent trips to the island, Arostegui and IGFA president Rob Kramer and conservation director Jason Schratweiser have managed to interest anglers who compete in the annual Hemingway Marlin Tournament in using circle hooks to catch and release the spindle-beaked giants. The IGFA delegation showed tournament competitors from Cuba and around the world how to rig baits using circle hooks and how to drop back and hook fish. Circle hooks have been mandatory for years in U.S. billfish tournaments when using live or natural baits, but the Cubans and others weren't familiar.This year, the Americans got the tournament to set aside a special prize category for using circle hooks and presented the winning crew with a David Wirth sculpture. Next year, Arostegui saself storaged, tournament officials have pledged to make circle hooks mandatory, and to implant satellite tags in some fish to help advance scientific studies on their growth and movements.But, he said, "remember that everything over there is subject to change without notice."Offshore fishing is not the only pastime Arostegui is helping to nurture.A keen interest in exotic fish lured him to the Hatiguanico River about 1 1/2 hours south of Havana, where African sharp-toothed catfish, known locally as claria, abound. The toothy non-natives were brought there years ago to launch an aquaculture program, but they spread out of control after a hurricane blew out dikes that enclosed them.Last spring, Arostegui and local fisherman Jose Ramon Cuza, president of the Cuban Federation of Sportfishing, decided to try for a world-record claria on fly rod using an ultra-fine two-pound tippet and a fly made out of marabou feathers.It would be quite an angling coup if they succeeded. At the time, only four IGFA world records had come out of Cuba -- and none were caught by Cubans.Arostegui caught a fish that weighed a little more than a pound. A few minutes later, Cuza topped it with a three-pounder. The two were jubilant."That day, two Cubans from both sides of the Gulf Stream caught two world records on the same day in Cuba," Arostegui said, smiling.Cuza has since been named an IGFA representative.Arostegui said he also is interested in helping promote the island's bountiful Cayo Largo flats fishery for bonefish, tarpon and permit, and a fledgling school that trains Cubans to become flats guides.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Miami Herald Visit The Miami Herald at .miamiherald.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

Source: The Eagle, Bryan, TexasSept.文件倉 07--The second annual Brazos Valley Fair and Expo opened this week with a new feature: a kids zone called "AgLand," in which an empty barn has been converted to a place for children of all ages to come and learn about agriculture while enjoying the animals.The barn offers a variety of kid-friendly activities such as pony rides, a hay maze, mechanical bull rides, incubators filled with eggs ready to hatch and a dairy stand.Larry Graham, a mobile dairy classroom instructor, and his cow, Gracie, teach kids the importance of milk and where it comes from."We teach kids how to milk a cow, what happens to the milk once it's out and the process of getting the milk ready to sell," Graham said. "This is Gracie's first fair, and the newness is making her anxious, but she's mostly giddy to be here and help teach the kids."Fiona Lockhart, one of the fair coordinators, learned from the fair's first year that a kid-friendly area was needed, so "AgLand" was created."We had this empty barn that was lacking in presentation, and we knew we needed a lot more kids to come," Lockhart said. "It takes a while to fill it up and get everything to flow, because we are making everything from hand. Guys are building the incubators for the chicks, all the displays, it's a lot of up-front work that we won't have to keep doing every year. But we are very proud of the kids' barn."The fair also offers steer and heifer competitions, a rodeo, various local food vendors and a carnival. Live bands perform all day, and then one band is featured at night.For opening night on Thursday, Cory Morrow performed. For the second night, Clayton Gardener and Parker Heights were set to perform on the Bud Light Stage while the Turner Country Band was to perform on the Daily Stage. The third night will feature Restless Heart's 30th Anniversary Tour and存倉a special performance by Tejano singer Emilio on the final evening. Adults can taste Texas-made beer and wines in the Beer and Wine Garden, sponsored by local brewers.A new group to the fair, Master Gardeners, a volunteer organization associated with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, decorated a booth with live plants to show faircomers how to be water-efficient and still have a flourishing garden."We are teaching people how to save water in the gutters, make rain gardens, and the best ways to conserve water," Joan Hazelwood, a volunteer for Master Gardeners, said. "We are giving people ideas on how to save money and save water but still have a pretty garden."Part of the Master Gardeners' saving water initiative is the "40 gallon Challenge," asking people to find a way to save 40 gallons of water each month."The Expo is really educating people how to efficiently save water," marketing coordinator Melanie Fuller said. "Water and food are important, and there are billions of people on the planet. It's going to get hard, feeding everyone, so we are teaching people how to save things like water, now."Lockhart said she can already see a change from last year's inaugural fair."The second year is easier. I mean there's things to tweak, but easier," Lockhart said. "Watching kids enjoy everything and seeing that surprise on faces when people come in and see the changes we've made and the things we've added, it's the best part."The fair goes through Sept. 8, with activities beginning as early as 8 a.m. and lasting till midnight. Tickets for adults are $10 and $5 for kids and grant access to all fair events.

Source: The Columbian, Vancouver, Wash.self storageSept. 07--An 18-year-old man with multiple disabilities was sentenced Friday in Clark County Superior Court to five days in jail that he's already served and 25 days on a work crew for writing a bomb threat on a boys' bathroom wall at Battle Ground High School.The threat prompted an all-day evacuation of the campus Feb. 28.Luke M. Love of Battle Ground pleaded guilty Aug. 1 to threats to bomb and felony harassment."All I want to do is to go back to school," Love told Judge Daniel Stahnke. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen. ... I just wasn't thinking it through."Love struggles with multiple disabilities and mental health issues, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder and major depression, according to court documents.His father told the judge that Love's actions were the result of his disabilities.He said his son is at a 10- or 11-year-old level developmentally. The bomb threat was an impulse to get out of something he didn't want to do, the father said.Battle Ground School District officials on Friday asked Stahnke not to prohibit Love from having contact with the high school, staff membe迷你倉s or students because it would interfere with their federal obligation to provide him with special education services until age 21.Linda Gellings, district director of business and risk management, said that imposing a no-contact order -- which is customary in felony cases -- would cause additional expense to the school district.Due to the district's federal obligation to provide Love with special education services, a no-contact order would likely force the district to hire a tutor to serve him away from school grounds, said Denny Waters, the district's special education director.Stahnke agreed to the request."It is absolutely unacceptable what you did," Stahnke said. The judge told him never to do it again.Waters said his staff will come up with a plan to educate Love in the wake of the incident.While a juvenile, Love was convicted of two counts of fourth-degree assault against his father in 2010 and 2011, according to court records.------Paris Achen: 360-735-4551; twitter.com/Col_Courts; paris.achen@columbian.com.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Columbian (Vancouver, Wash.)

Source: St.self storage Louis Post-DispatchSept. 07--Through nine seasons of hard work, dedication and production, Steven Jackson became the face of the St. Louis Rams' attack.The bruising running back from Oregon State worked to become the franchise leader in rushing, surpassing NFL greats Eric Dickerson and Marshall Faulk, and wrapped up his time here with eight consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and three Pro Bowl appearances.The numbers -- 2,802 touches, 10,138 rushing yards, 3,324 receiving yards and 64 touchdowns -- as impressive as they are, reflect only part of his impact on the franchise. Jackson, who accumulated more rushing yards and yards from scrimmage than any other NFL player from 2005 through 2012, also matured into a leader."I learned a lot from Steven, on and off the field,'' said Daryl Richardson, a second-year pro who will get the backfield start when the Rams open the season against the Arizona Cardinals. "More than anything else, I learned what it takes to be a professional and about being serious about your craft. He taught me about studying opponents and game plans and also about training and nutrition, about taking care of your body.''In just one season together, Rams coach Jeff Fisher grew to respect Jackson as a player and as a person."I'm disappointed I didn't get to spend more time with 'Jack' earlier in his career,'' the coach said.After last season, Jackson elected to void the final year of his contract with the Rams to become a free agent. With hopes of making a run at a Super Bowl, Jackson became an Atlanta Falcon, signing a three-year, $12 million deal that included $4 million guaranteed.But while the Steven Jackson era in St. Louis has concluded, his impact on the Rams continues through second-year running backs coach Ben Sirmans."As a first-year coach in the league, getting a chance to work with Steven Jackson was a tremendous learning experience,'' Sirmans said. "Just getting an opportunity to work with a guy like that, a true professional, is something I can use as I work with the young guys. Because of his work ethic and his understanding of the game, Steven was a great help to me as a coach last year because the younger guys could see what he was doing and could follow his lead."This year, I find myself getting a little more involved, just making sure they completely understand what we're trying to accomplish.''Sirmans continued: "Nobody replaces a Steven Jackson. But each one of the guys we have has a different skill set that we'll be able to use within this offense. Each one of them will have a chance to contribute something that will help make us an effective unit."I think this group is going to create a lot of big plays for us and really help this offense.''FROM NO. 252 TO NO. 1When Fisher named Richardson as the opening-day starter, the soft-spoken 23-year-old appeared unfazed."I'm not really surprised,'' he said. "This is what I worked for.''A typical response for a player who lets his play do the talking. An unheralded back out of Division II Abilene Christian University in Texas, Richardson was selected in the seventh round -- with the second-to-last pick, No. 252 overall -- of the 2012 NFL draft and went on to a solid rookie campaign.He rushed 98 times for 475 yards, an average of 4.8 a carry, and also caught 24 passes for 163 yards. With Jackson out with a groin injury, he ran for 83 yards in a 31-28 win over the Washington Redskins in Week 2. He had another big day in a loss in Miami that included 76 rushing yards and a 26-yard reception.Eleven of his carries last season went for 10 or more yards; he had a team-best 53-yarder against Washington and a 44-yarder in Miami."The thing that really stands out about Daryl is his acceleration; he hits top speed very fast and that allows him to hit the hole and get through it before the defense can react,'' Sirmans said. "On top of that, he's a guy who just loves playing football.''Richardson, who spent extra time working on his pass-catching since last season, is a decisive runner who, at 5-feet-10 and 206 pounds, is not afraid to take on would-be tacklers.He should also have more of a role in the passing game this season."Any time we can get Daryl the ball in space, it's going to put added pressure on the other team,'' Fisher said.UNREALIZED POTENTIALLike most associated with the Rams, Sirmans is wai迷你倉ing for Isaiah Pead's breakthrough moment."When everything comes together for Isaiah -- and it can happen at any time -- I think people will finally see why he was drafted so high,'' the coach said. "I know it's there because I've seen it, but for some reason whenever Isaiah does something wrong, it seems to overshadow all the things he does correctly. When we break down the film, there's tons of evidence of this kid breaking through tackles and fighting for those extra yards. Does he have to do that more? Yes. And we just have to keep pushing him to make sure he understands what he's capable of.''The Big East offensive player of the year in 2011, Pead finished his career at the University of Cincinnati as one of the top rushers and scorers in school history. He was selected in the second round (50th overall) of the 2012 draft but has struggled as a pro. As a rookie, he rushed just 10 times for 54 yards while catching three passes for 16 yards. He also returned 10 kickoffs for 212 yards.In the preseason, he ran for 86 yards, had 26 receiving yards and averaged 20.4 yards on five kickoffs. But he also lost a pair of fumbles and will sit out the season-opening game against Arizona while serving a suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.Some have questioned Pead's confidence level, but Sirmans thinks it has more to do with expectations."The reason he was drafted so high is because of the skills I've seen him display, on tape and on the practice field,'' the coach said. "He has the skill set and the temperament and he's a fantastic competitor; that's the thing I like about him, he'll stick his face in there on protections, he's fearless."He just has to make it happen, to go out and show people what kind of football player he can be.''A CONTRIBUTOR FROM THE SECThe Rams closed out their 2013 draft by trading up to select Vanderbilt standout Zac Stacy in the fifth round.The 5-foot-8, 214-pound power back has shown a knack for picking up yards after contact, a skill that translates well in short-yardage and goal-line situations."The physical part -- I got a pretty good internship in the SEC and I'm tested out here every day in practice -- that comes naturally,'' said Stacy, who ran for 1,141 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior captain to finish as the Commodores' career rushing leader. "What I'm learning now is more about the mental aspect of the game, learning to play fast and think on the fly.''Stacy said the competition among the Rams' backs has been friendly."We're all working to get better and to make each other better,'' he said. "As far as who plays, that's definitely not our call, so it's up to each of us to go out every day and focus on playing mistake-free football. At this level, it's really all about consistency and being productive.''SKY'S THE LIMITA tough break for Benny Cunningham and the Blue Raiders of Middle Tennessee State may just pay off big for the Rams. In the midst of a monster season that featured a 217-yard, five-touchdown effort against Georgia Tech and a 230-yard game against Florida International, Cunningham ruptured a tendon in his knee and was done for the year."If he plays all last year, he probably wouldn't be here,'' Sirmans pointed out. "He could've gone as high as the fourth round, so he's really a great steal for us (as an undrafted free agent). The knee's coming along, but you see, for a thick guy (5-10, 217), he makes great cuts, he's got great speed. At this point, I'd say the sky's the limit to how good Benny can be.''Cunningham, who led the Rams with 123 rushing yards in the preseason, also had 69 yards on a pair of kickoff returns.BEATING THE ODDSChase Reynolds, who spent the last two seasons on the Rams' practice squad, played 8-man football in high school and went on to become one of the most prolific runners in University of Montana history.As a third-year pro, he is the veteran of this group, even though he has yet to play in an NFL regular-season game."I'm a 'young' old guy,'' the 24-year-old kidded.Reynolds' primary value is on special teams, but he did score the deciding touchdown -- a 17-yard pass from Austin Davis with 2:40 to play -- in the Rams' lone preseason win.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Visit the St. Louis Post-Dispatch at .stltoday.com Distributed by MCT Information Services文件倉

Source: Pittsburgh Post-GazetteSept.mini storage 07--Some five years after it was first proposed, a developer is scrapping plans for a grandiose $100 million hotel-condominium project on Mount Washington in favor of a more modest apartment complex.Gone will be the 20-story high-rise featuring a four- to five-star, 163-room luxury hotel. Gone will be about 58 condos perched on a cliff overlooking Downtown. Gone, apparently, will be amenities like a scenic overlook and a giant plaza that would have been open to the public.Instead, Sycamore Grandview Development is proposing to construct about 300 market rate apartments in four buildings wrapped around a "grand central yard" at the four-acre site at the end of Grandview Avenue near the Monongahela Incline.Developer Beau Beemsterboer is expected to present the revised plans to the community at a meeting Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Mount Washington Senior Center.Neither Mr. Beemsterboer nor Charles L. "Luke" Desmone, the Pittsburgh architect who has been working with him on the project, could be reached for comment Friday.But representatives for the Mount Washington Community Development Corp. said the developer apparently decided to revise and scale back the project because of problems in obtaining financing to pay for the hotel-condo complex."As far as I understand, it was financing. I think the issue was that they couldn't get the money for what they originally wanted to do," said Jason Kambitsis, executive director of the Mount Washington CDC.James Eash, the CDC's director of economic development, said the same trend has been at work in other parts of the city, where condos have taken a back seat to apartment building."Right now, what we're seeing across the city is a lot of apartments going up, especially Downtown," he said.As with the condos, the new apartments are expected to be higher end in price. Three of the buildings will have at least some frontage facing the Downtown skyline.Based on what has been presented to the Mount Washington CDC so far, about half of the apartments will be two-bedroom units. Another 40 percent will be one-bedroom and the rest studios.The complex also will feature a 500-space parking garage, a fitness center, and a restaurant with a deck that overlooks Downtown. But some of the former elements, like the giant plaza, don't appear to be part of the new plans."It's not anywhere near as substantself storageal as the other one," Mr. Kambitsis said.Both he and Mr. Eash are interested to see what the community reaction will be to the change of plans. Many residents embraced the grand hotel-condo complex, saying it had the potential to be an iconic attraction and stimulate development in the neighborhood."I think there's going to be some disappointment there, but I also think there's an opportunity for something really positive for the neighborhood and the city," Mr. Eash said.Even though no development has taken place on the property, Mr. Beemsterboer followed through on a commitment to demolish the former Edge restaurant, a rotting eyesore that marred the site for years."That brought him a lot of goodwill in the neighborhood," Mr. Eash said. "A lot of people, I think, they'll be happy to see a project at the site."The revisions will have to go before the city planning commission for approval. No formal plans have been submitted to the city to date.City Councilwoman Theresa Kail-Smith, who represents Mount Washington, said the new plan constitutes a "significant change," adding that she wants to hear what the community has to say about it."I think everyone would love to see some property on the tax rolls. That's a positive of the development. But at the same time, I don't know that it's something the community will support in that area at this time," she said.In addition, the councilwoman wants to discuss with city planning ways to assure that projects that are presented for approval end up being completed. She said there are developments throughout the city that are approved but never seem to get off the drawing board.With the new project, Mr. Beemsterboer needs to show "there's some likelihood of funding being in place," she said. Mr. Eash said the developer has told him that he is "very confident" that he will be able to get financing for the apartments.The condo-hotel complex isn't the first Mount Washington project to fall by the wayside. In the 1990s, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel was considered for the same site but never developed. At the opposite end of Grandview, a lot that was to be the site of a proposed condominium high-rise has been sitting empty for years.Mark Belko: mbelko@post-gazette.com or 412-263-1262.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Visit the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette at .post-gazette.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

Source: Appeal-Democrat, Marysville, Calif.自存倉Sept. 06--Run defense will be put to the test when the Marysville High football team makes the short trip to Live Oak tonight."We're just preparing for a dog fight, we know it's going to be a battle in the trenches and that's where the outcome is going to be determined," Indians coach Cullen Meyer said.The Indians' flexbone offense put up 411 rushing yards and eight touchdowns against Foresthill in their 55-28 Week Zero victory in Marysville."As far as first games go, that was a pretty good week for us," Meyer said. "We improved from our scrimmage and worked on limiting mistakes, but we still have quite a bit to work and improve on."Francisco Garcia led the offense with 175 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries, and Live Oak coach Dan Johnson expects to get a heavy dose of Garcia when the Indians (1-0) come calling tonight.When the teams faced each other last year, the Lions won 22-8 but experienced Garcia firsthand when he rushed for 133 yards on 18 carries."(Marysville) seems to be doing pretty much the same thing, or a lot of the same things," Johnson said. "I know they've got a couple of good backs and a quarterback, so as far as skill positions, they've got a few good players coming back."Live Oak (1-0) lost 21 seniors from last year's team but overcame an early deficit to beat East Nicolaus 21-18 in Week Zero.Junior running back Matt Evans rushed for 136 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries out of the Lions' I-Formation and junior quarterback Steven Garcia threw a touchdown pass to Omar Gorsi."They didn't give up, they kept fighting and came back from a two-score deficit to win the thing, so I appreciate the effort and stick-to-itiveness at the end of the game," Johnson said.Lindhurst at WheatlandIn Wheatland -- These two Yuba County rivals will opent their seasons tonight in this annual showdown.Wheatland has never lost to Lindhurst since they began playing in 1997. During that time, the Pirates have won all 16 games and outscored the Blazers 580-146.Second-year Pirates coach Neil Stinson returns several key players in his fly offense after going 7-4 last season.Senior quarterback Jackson Hopking passed for 1,418 yards and 23 touchdowns last season, and his favorite target, senior tight end Jordan Samson, returns after catching 33 passes for 765 yards and 10 touchdowns.Wheatland also returns senior running back Austin Cooper, who led the team with 698 yards rushing and scored six touchdowns.Lindhurst is led by second-year coach Justin Neiber who saw his roster size jump to 31 players after struggling to field a team against Wheatland last season.All-Golden Empire League quarterback Tim Endicott returns for his senior season after passing for 1,320 yards and nine touchdowns.Maxwell at WilliamsIn Williams -- For the fourth consecutive season, Williams opened the year with a shutout victory against Los Molinos.The Yellowjackets piled up 448 yards rushing and scored eight touchdowns in their 56-0 victory in Week Zero.Williams (1-0) had four backs run for more than 90 yards and score two touchdowns last week. Fabian Ruvalcaba ran for 135 yards, Freddy Cervantes had 105 yards, Damian Garcia added 97 yards and Joaquin Carrasco rushed for 90 yards.Tonight's opponent is much more formidable than the Bulldogs. Maxwell won the last two meetings between the teams and needed just 32 offensive plays to beat Williams 40-0 last year.The Panthers (0-1) are coming off a 42-21 loss to Bradshaw Christian but entered the half tied 14-14 before committing turnovers on the first three drives of the second half.East Nicolaus at Rio VistaIn Rio Vista -- East Nicolaus travels to Rio Vista to take on a team that beat its Week Zero opponent 72-0.Don't read too much into that score; the Rams (1-0) beat the same team, Delta, 58-0 last year -- the Spartans beat Rio Vista the next week 34-26.T迷你倉新蒲崗e Spartans (0-1) will try to bounce back from a 21-18 loss to Live Oak. Senior quarterback Zach Schuler threw for two touchdowns in the loss and senior running back Jeffery Limary ran in another touchdown.Last season, Schuler passed for 997 yards and 10 touchdowns, and rushed for 763 yards and 10 touchdowns. Two of his primary receivers return as well. Junior Dylan Thornsberry caught a 26-yard touchdown pass and senior Francisco Silvas had a 75-yard touchdown reception.Pierce at HamiltonIn Hamilton City -- Pierce is missing a host of starters from last year's 11-1 team, but it mattered little as they dominated Esparto 33-0 in Week Zero.The Bears (1-0) led 20-0 at the half and rotated the starters out of the game for much of the second half.Adolfo Ramirez rushed for 80 yards on 10 carries and scored a touchdown, and fullback Saul Mendez ran for 47 yard and two touchdowns. Quarterback Oscar Sanchez ran for 40 yards and a touchdown, and intercepted three passes on defense.Week One holds a mightier opponent in Hamilton, a team which made it to the Northern Section Division III championship game the last two years, losing both by a slim margin. It will be Hamilton's first game since losing 21-20 to Willows championship game.The Braves (0-0) wing-T offense returns senior running back Andrew Shippelhoute, who rushed for 1,261 yards and 14 touchdowns, and caught 27 passes for 467 yards and four touchdowns as a junior.Gridley at WillowsIn Willows -- Gridley faces a lower-division opponent in their first game of the season but there is no chance the Bulldogs will take Willows lightly.The Honkers (0-0) are two-time defending Division III champions and have enough starters returning from last year to be the early favorite to win the division.The Division II Bulldogs (0-0) opened last season with a 38-8 loss to the Honkers and went 0-10 but played most of the season without injured starting quarterback Emery Haddy.Haddy passed for 1,206 yards and 11 touchdowns as a sophomore and returns healthy and ready to snap the Bulldogs' losing streak.Fall River at BiggsIn Biggs -- Year two of the Ron Carr era begins tonight when the Wolverines welcome in the Bulldogs, who beat Burney 38-0 in Week Zero.Biggs has a stable of senior backs to work with in Carr's wishobone offense with quarterback Blaine Roles and running backs Dalton Evenson, Nathan Callaway and Greyson Milburn.This group of seniors won a league championship as sophomore at the JV level, giving many in the community hope that they can accomplish something great as seniors.While Biggs dealt with depth issues last year the Wolverines list 22 players on their roster. Fall River also has a limited amount of bodies to suit up with just 20 players listed on its roster.SATURDAYSutter at Cottage Grove (Ore.)In Eugene, Ore. -- The Huskies' quest to play the best continues Saturday at the University of Oregon's Autzen Stadium after losing 34-14 to El Cerrito in Week Zero.Cottage Grove (0-1) returns to Oregon after opening the season in Hawaii where the Lions lost to Kauai 41-21.Sutter (0-1) will have to cope with Lions quarterback Scotty Hitner who passed for 173 yards and three touchdowns in the loss to the Red Raiders after throwing for 3,255 yards and 35 touchdowns as a junior last season.In their Week Zero loss to El Cerrito, the Huskies hung with a team loaded with Division-I athletes but struggled in the second half as the Gauchos pulled away.Junior quarterback Randy Post passed for 127 yards and a touchdown but threw two interceptions, and the Huskies running game struggled, averaging just 3.5 yards a carry. Post led the Huskies with 56 yards rushing, and Alex Ingram had 42 yards on 21 carries.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Appeal-Democrat (Marysville, Calif.)

巨頭逐“表”調研公司Canalys最近發佈自己的預測，新蒲崗迷你倉到2014年底，因為蘋果、三星、穀歌以及其他科技公司的加入，智能手錶的銷量將達到500萬部。蘋果一直以來都有傳言稱蘋果將發佈自己的智能手錶。今年六月，蘋果在日本註冊了iWatch商標，更是讓這些傳聞變得言之鑿鑿。《紐約時報》也報道：該公司正在進行某項有關腕表的開發，這個設備搭載有彎曲鏡面，同時運行iOS系統。蘋果前員工也在做了類似的推測，交互界面專家布魯斯·托格奈茲就表示：“iWatch”將讓蘋果的整個產品陣營更加齊全完整，它不僅能夠讓蘋果的各個產品更加方便互聯，更能夠促使更多更新的產品誕生出來！今年7月，有報道稱蘋果已經從其他“小公司”挖過來了一些技術人才，來組建自己的“iWatch”團隊。《金融時報》報道稱蘋果已經被迫開始尋求外界幫助，因為他們遭遇了前所未有的硬件上的工程建設難題。穀歌剛剛爆出來的新聞稱：Google在2012年悄悄購買了一家智能終端創業公司WimmLabs，該公司在2011年發佈了它自己的WIMMOne智能手機。WIMM公司一直以來致力于為程序開發員打造一個平台，而不是打造一款設備。這則並購新聞讓大家回想起之前關於穀歌智能手錶的種種流言，比如《金融時報》今年3月報道稱“穀歌正在安卓系統中打造智能手錶”、《華爾街日報》今年6月繼續跟進，報道穀歌在開發遊戲主機的同時，也在開發智能手錶……微軟微軟曾在2004年發佈了它的第一款手錶，其平台SPOT吸引了諸mini storageFossil、Suunto，以及Swatch這些手錶生產商的注意。但是之後就不了了之，與平板電腦一起被歸為“發佈時間為時尚早”的產品類別中了。《華爾街日報》今年4月爆料稱：微軟的供貨商公司正在整合各方資源，打造智能手錶樣機，顯示屏大概為1.5英寸。今年7月的一則報道稱這些設備已經“直接在Surface團隊的開發下完成，使得產品與市場的距離越來越近。”現在唯一的疑慮就是，公司的首席執行官史蒂夫·鮑爾曼已經離職，他的繼任者的戰略部署會是怎樣的？而這將會直接影響處於樣機開發的智能手錶項目。其他玩家Pebble Technol ogy自它在Kickstarter上籌集到了103萬美金後，已經售出8.5萬部Pebble watches；索尼已經發佈第二代SmartWatch，在今年年初就已經開賣；高端智能手錶生產商Hyetis Crossbow已經賣出300件智能手錶，每件的售價大概在1200美元左右;英特爾也在實驗室測試自己的智能手錶設備;卡西歐的首席執行官在今年8月接受紐約時報採訪時稱：“突然間，所有人都將目光轉向了人們的手腕。我們知道這個領域確實存在無限商機，並且我們已經做好準備……”這些智能手錶將來會演變成什麼樣子？它們會不會變得更像是智能手機的操控設備，而不運行自己的應用程序呢？它們會不會把目前的健身類的電子設備取而代之呢？這些問題的答案在2014年到來之前不得而知，讓我們先看看Galaxy Gear的表現再說吧。 花滿樓self storage
