Cheaters!

The referees cheated yesterday as the U.S. World Cup Soccer Team was cheated out of a victory against ghana. The lads were extraordinary, but you can't overcome referee cheating.

World Cup Soccer

USA vs. ghana today in the World Cup Round of 16.

Amazingly, the US should be favored in a World Cup elimination game.

Wicked!

250

250 = 2 x 5 x 5 x 5

Wicked!

This is the only number in the world with those exact factors!

Wicked!

246 = 2 x 3 x 41

Pretty good. It seems like it should have more factors, but it doesn't, which is wicked!

Where is my mac mini

I am missing a mac mini. It was mailed about 10 days ago (at least), and should be here by now.

So, U.S.V.I. postal service, where is it?

Red Sox Win 5th Straight

The Boston Red Sox won again last night, 6-5 over the dodgers, even though Manny Ramirez hit a home run.

The lads are doing very well. Wicked good. Some stupid sportswriter made the fatal error of writing "the best record in baseball" since some date. Of course we all know that this is folly. Along with:

runners at the corners
left side of the plate
on the outside corner

etc.

Lots of rain today

We are in the middle of lots of rain, although it seems to be in a moderation period at this moment.

Some thunderstorms later.

Today looks like a good day to take a post office trip and then watch the U.S. Open and the World Cup.

Nothing today

Nothing today except

I finished the shutters and put on one coat of paint.
We are going to St. Trauma today for the night and miscellaneous shopping.
M is flying off tomorrow.
The Boston Red Sox won again by outscoring the opponents.

240

Yes, this is a factor kind of moment.

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 240

What's surprising to many numerologists is that the previous number, 239, is prime, but this number, 240, has 6 factors.

Who is in charge of this?

Celtics Win, As Captain G. Piecost MC's smoggers

The Boston Celtics, The Greatest Franchise In The History Of Sport, beat up the pathetic smoggers again last night, totally due to the incessant Magic Circles of Captain G. Piecost, The Living Legend Of Statisticians.

Next game is Sunday, and more of the same is expected.

I now have a lucky green shirt for home games, and a lucky green shirt for away games.

This is under control.

Bench

I built the first half of a bench yesterday, and it came out pretty good. Now I have to build the second half of the bench.

I need to buy:

And then I assemble it.

Renowned Storm Forecasters Predict Busy Hurricane Season
By Lynda Lohr — June 2, 2010

Chances are good that a major hurricane will track into the Caribbean during the 2010 hurricane season, Colorado State University forecasters Phil Klotzbach and William Gray said in a press release issued Wednesday.
They put the probability of a major hurricane tracking into the Caribbean at 65 percent. The average for the last century is 42 percent.
Hurricane season runs June 1 through Nov. 30.
“We anticipate a well above-average probability of United States and Caribbean major hurricane landfall,” Gray said.
The team upped its April prediction to 18 named storms, with 10 of them developing into hurricanes. Klotzbach and Gray expect five of them to become major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph or greater.
In April, Klotzbach and Gray suggested that the number of named storms would sit at 15, with eight of them becoming hurricanes. They expected four of them to become major hurricanes. The long-term averages are 9.6 named storms, 5.9 hurricanes and 2.3 major hurricanes per year.
Their forecast comes on the heels of one issued last week by the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration, which put the number of named storms at 14 to 23. They expect eight to 14 of them to develop into hurricanes and three to seven to reach major status.
The Colorado State hurricane forecast team predicts tropical cyclone activity in 2010 will be 195 percent of the average season. By comparison, 2009 witnessed tropical cyclone activity that was about 69 percent of the average season.
Currently observed climate factors are similar to conditions that occurred during the 1958, 1966, 1969, and 2005 seasons, the Colorado State team said. The average of these four seasons had well above-average activity, and Klotzbach and Gray predict the 2010 season will have activity in line with the average of these four years.
According to Klotzbach, the current trend from El Nino to neutral conditions will persist and weak La Nina conditions will develop by the most active portion of this year’s hurricane season in August through October.
“El Ninos typically increase levels of vertical wind shear in the tropical Atlantic, causing detrimental conditions for Atlantic tropical cyclone formation and intensification,” Klotzbach said.
The hurricane team's forecasts are based on the premise that global oceanic and atmospheric conditions—such as El Nino, sea surface temperatures and sea level pressures—that preceded active or inactive hurricane seasons in the past provide meaningful information about similar trends in future seasons.
The team also updated its U.S. landfall probabilities, which are calculated based on historical landfall statistics and then adjusted by the latest seasonal forecast.
"The probability of a major hurricane making landfall along the U.S. coastline is 76 percent compared with the last-century average of 52 percent," Klotzbach said.
The team will issue a final seasonal forecast update on Aug. 4.

STT today

I have to go to STT today, but it will be a short trip. Just to Marina Market.

What's fun is that I have more stuff to write about today. Like -- I brought some gold to Sandy Stein yesterday and she is going to combine my old ring, a GTE or Wang award ring with some semi-precious stones, and a chain into a new ring. Right now I don't have a wedding ring on my little hand. And my father's gold cuff links have $1,000 of gold in them. So I am giving them to SAH.

No storms

There will be no storms hitting St. John this year, although it looks like there will be storms hitting elsewhere. This was in the St. John Source this morning. www.stjohnsource.com

NOAA Experts Join Chorus Predicting Active Hurricane Season
By Ananta Pancham — May 31, 2010

With Hurricane season on our doorstep, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration experts have predicted an “active to extremely active” 2010 hurricane season, with a projected 14 to 23 named storms over the next six months.

The report from NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, issued late last week, forecasts that eight to 14 of the storms will turn into hurricanes – three to seven of which could be a major category 3, 4 or 5, packing winds of at least 111 mph.

“If this outlook holds true, this season could be one of the more active on record,” NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco said in the report. “The greater likelihood of storms brings an increased risk of landfall.”

This year’s predictions exceed the usual numbers, which average about 11 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes, according to the report. Contributing factors this year are warmer Atlantic Ocean water temperatures – as much as four degrees higher than normal – and a weaker wind shear, which can help “tear apart” storms, the report said.

NOAA’s forecast falls in step with predictions made in April by Colorado State University storm forecasters Phil Klotzbach and William Gray, whose pre-season forecast showed 15 named storms for the Atlantic basin.
