Who is Dave Mabe, About Dave Mabe, Author and Blackberry User

Dave Mabe (http://dave.runningland.com) is an accomplished and largely self-taught engineer and now a writer who strives to create a simple, elegant solution to a complex problem. Dave has worked at AT&T in the communications industry for eight years and has worked with BlackBerry devices for almost five. Always looking to save a few keystrokes and mouse clicks, Dave has automated countless business processes for Fortune 500 companies. He is the kind of person who would rather spend several hours inventing an automated solution than spend a few monotonous moments each day performing a menial task. He fancies himself a proficient Perl programmer and would love to see Perl running on a BlackBerry one day. Dave enjoys tinkering with the latest gadgets and software, both closed and open source. He has authored and contributed to several technology-related publications.

When not working on computer-oriented stuff, you're likely to see Dave running on the roads and trails (mostly trails!) of Chapel Hill, where he graduated with a BS in Mathematical Sciences, specializing in Operations Research. Although quite a bit slower than the glory days of college running at UNC, he can still leg out a decent 10K. Dave lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina with his three energetic daughters, Sarah Jane, Rosemary, and Lizzie. Dave's running is easily overshadowed by that of his wife, Joan Nesbit Mabe (http://www.runningland.com), who is a talented runner, writer, and public speaker, who represented the United States in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Not being the techie type, she is still not exactly sure what Dave does for a living, but enjoys her Perl-automated cup of coffee each morning nonetheless.

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one traces the history of this province from the first time the huma
