Malnati wins hometown News Sentinel OpenPeter Malnati won his first Web.com Tour title at the News Sentinel Open.August 18, 2013
By Laury Livsey, PGA TOUR staff
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.— After a bogey-bogey start to begin his News Sentinel Open final round, Peter Malnati found himself not panicking and actually walking to the third tee as he said, "feeling good." There was good reason. Malnati made a birdie on the fourth hole and off he went, making seven more birdies — including birdies on four of his final five holes — to win his first Web.com Tour event by a stroke over a quartet of players in front of a loud and appreciative crowd.
"I didn't feel like I was going to win," Malnati said after that first birdie of the day. "That was a thought that was not in my head."
Apparently it should have been. Malnati, who lives in Dandridge, Tenn. —"58 minutes from door to door," he said of his daily commute to Fox Den Country Club this week — thrilled the hometown fans when he drained a three-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to get him to 16-under. He watched Blayne Barber and Matt Bettencourt, playing in the final grouping, miss their chances at victory. When Barber's putt didn't drop, the win was Malnati's, a victory that moved him from 80th to 16th on the money list and all but assured him his PGA TOUR playing privileges for the 2013-14 season.
"I've worked really hard, and I love doing this," Malnati said following his 6-under 65 round. "The only thing that stresses me out is wondering am I going to have to play mini tours next year? And the answer to that is no."
It's been a steady progression for Malnati, who played golf at the University of Missouri, had no status on the Web.com Tour when the season began and had carved out Special Temporary Member status with his two top-10 finishes earlier in the season. All the hard work he's put in this year showed this week as he improved his score each day after opening with a 1-under 70 Thursday. He followed that with a 67-66-65 finish.
Barber, a Monday qualifier who joined Bettencourt, Miguel Carballo and James White in the tie for second, was still pleased with what is a career-best Web.com Tour performance for the Lake City, Fla., native.
Barber went for the par-5 18th in two, but his approach landed in the rough fronting the green. "I had a lot of grass behind the ball and kind of chunked it a little bit on the chip shot," he said of his eagle try. "Then I pushed my birdie putt." Barber still moved from 151st to 84th on the money list with his $36,300 payday.
Bettencourt had a birdie putt on No. 18 that could have put him in a playoff, but his 30-footer missed, as well. Bettencourt was still positive about his week. "I played really good today and this week, and it was nice to see some good results," he said. "I feel like I've been hitting it good for a month now. I hope to take it forward and see some positive results in Omaha."
Malnati was still shaking his head 30 minutes after hoisting the crystal on the green and donning the orange jacket that goes to the winner. "This is my seventh event, and I think I finished in the top 25 in six of the seven. That's good," he explained. "I'm not saying that to pat myself on the back, but that's hard to do, and I'm proud of that."
This win is part of those six top-25 finishes, and it's the finish he is going to remember, with it carrying some added significance since he did it at home. "To see the crowds get bigger and bigger and louder and louder as the week went on, I can't tell you how cool it is to win this golf tournament."
Final-Round Notes
-- Officials used a two-tee start with players playing in threesomes for the final round. Heavy rain hit the area, and officials halted play at 11:18 a.m. as parts of Fox Den Country Club had become unplayable. The delay lasted until 1:45 p.m., a total of 2 hours, 27 minutes.
-- James White, a Web.com Tour rookie and Monday qualifier this week, had played in three career Web.com Tour events—missing the cut in all three. He played as an amateur in the Nationwide Hospital Children's Invitational in 2011, and shot identical rounds of 74-70 at both the Chile Classic and Brasil Classic to miss the cuts in those early season events. After opening 69-68-66, he fired a final-round 68—including birdies on his final three holes—to tie for second. He moved to No. 103 on the money list.
-- The top-75 players following the Cox Classic will earn invites to the Web.com Tour's four Finals events that will also feature 75 players Nos. 126-200 in the PGA TOUR FedExCup standings. Here is where players stood prior to the News Sentinel Open and where they sit now with one regular season event left to play:
-- The only past News Sentinel Open champion to make the cut of the four who played this week is Heath Slocum, who captured the title in Knoxville in 2001. Slocum tied for 30th.
-- First-round co-leader and current Web.com Tour money-list leader Michael Putnam tied for 30th after shooting a final-round, even-par 70. He remains the season money-list leader ($433,984) for the 11th consecutive week after taking over the top spot following his victory at the Mexico Championship in late May. He is $37,735 ahead of Ben Martin, who didn't play this week.
-- Matt Bettencourt double-bogeyed his final hole of the first round, No. 9. After that, he reeled off 37 consecutive holes of bogey-free golf, including an opening birdie in the final round Sunday. His streak ended at 37 when he bogeyed his second hole of the day, No. 2 at Fox Den Country Club. He then started a new streak after his bogey, finishing with four birdies and 12 pars to end his round.
-- Mark Silvers (third and fourth rounds), Richard Scott (first and fourth), Ryan Nelson (second and fourth), Reid Edstrom (first and third) and Matt Bettencourt (second and third) were the only players to have two bogey-free rounds this week.
-- Corey Nagy (tied for 10th) recorded 22 birdies to lead the field in that category.
-- Bogey-free rounds (35)
First Round (8): Reid Edstrom, Ashley Hall, Kent Jones, J.J. Killeen, Whee Kim, Peter Lonard, Richard Scott and Nate Smith
Second Round (13): Steven Alker, Jason Allred, Matt Bettencourt, Kelly Kraft, Andrew Loupe, Peter Malnati, Ryan Nelson, James Nitties, Andrew Putnam, Derek Rende, Richard Scott, Ryan Spears, Roland Thatcher

If you've updated your AT&T iPhone to iOS 5.1, you may have noticed that the signal indicator in the top-left now reads 4G instead of 3G. Now, before your mind gets blown all over the place, there's no actual upgrade here; it's just your garden-variety marketing doucherosity wriggling its slimy way into a software update.
AT&T could not possibly abide by competitors have more or higher-quality "Gs" than they do, so they've had Apple arbitrarily change the wording of the signal indicator. They've apparently been trying to do this for months, though why Apple caved is still hard to understand.
Of course, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has made it so that carriers can do this without repercussion. They're allowing HSPA+ 14.4 and faster networks to be called 4G right alongside 72mbps and faster LTE networks, and they've ruined any practical use of talking in terms of 3G or 4G networks; in fact, AT&T has already been taking plenty of advantage of this opportunity with Android devices.
Yes, as we joked and feared, AT&T has beaten Apple to create a 4G iPhone.
So welcome to the world of 4G, AT&T iPhone owners. Do you feel faster? Does simply seeing "4G" on your home screen make you feel more in the future?

State House leader warns Ayala to live in her district
BRIDGEPORT -- If legislator-elect Christina Ayala does not live in her district, she'd better start packing or she may not be sworn in to the General Assembly.
State House leader Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden, has warned Ayala she must live in the neighborhood that elected her, the 128th House District, by the time new members take office Jan. 9.
Ayala's arrest last week following a domestic dispute has raised numerous questions about whether the 29-year-old political newbie resides in her district as required by the state Constitution.
The state House of Representatives has the authority to weigh any evidence that Ayala is unqualified to serve and act on it, according to the Secretary of the State's office.
Sharkey's spokesman, Larry Perosino, confirmed his boss met with Ayala recently.
"The district residency question is definitely a concern for him," Perosino said.
Perosino said Sharkey stressed to Ayala that under the law she has until Jan. 9 to rectify any problems.
"He said she understood that requirement and assured him that she would," Perosino said.
Neither Ayala nor her attorney returned phone calls seeking comment.
Ayala, a member of one of Bridgeport's prominent political families, wrote on candidate forms filed with the state that she lived in a second-floor apartment at 604 Noble Ave. That is also the address on record with Bridgeport's Registrars of Voters Office.
But Ayala and her boyfriend were arrested last week for a domestic disturbance at 49 Hillside Ave., in the 129th House District. When Ayala subsequently applied for a protective order from her boyfriend, she told the court she resides at 49 Hillside Ave., although city records show she does not own the property.
The mystery of where Ayala calls home deepened with subsequent efforts by Hearst Connecticut Newspapers over the past few days to uncover more details.
That same Hillside address appeared on an August police report documenting Ayala's other arrest following a hit-and-run collision. That incident occurred 24 hours after she won the Aug.14 Democratic primary. Ayala was charged with evading responsibility, failure to obey a traffic signal and failure to renew her vehicle's registration. Her next court appearance is Friday.
Records show that utilities at Hillside Avenue were connected under Ayala's name in October 2011.
During a visit last week to 604 Noble Ave., a man who declined to give his name said he had not seen Ayala around, but that her relatives lived nearby on Kossuth Street. Subsequently, Ayala's sister pulled up in front of a Kossuth Street house in a car. Asked if Christina lied about living on Noble, she declined comment and drove away.
Ayala's father, Tito, a Democratic leader in the neighborhood, has also not been helpful.
Reached by phone Monday to clarify confusion over her address, Tito said, "I don't visit my daughter. I work seven days a week."
Ayala's mother, Bridgeport's Democratic registrar Sandi Ayala, did not return phone calls.
And Ayala's cousin Andres Ayala also said he is in the dark, even though Christina was elected to replace him in the state House as he prepares to be sworn in as Bridgeport's newest state senator.
Although some city Democrats have called for Christina to step down before she is sworn in, Andres said, "that's a decision she has to weigh, talking to her immediate family, her close advisers."
The state Elections Enforcement Commission is monitoring the questions surrounding Ayala's residency. SEEC spokesman Joshua Foley confirmed the House has the authority to expel members.
Although Ayala's situation also raises questions about whether she illegally voted for herself in November, the head of the Registrars of Voters Association of Connecticut said that is a state, not local, problem.
Staff writer Keila Torres Ocasio contributed to this report.

"Dancing With the Stars" has been a hit from the get-go — throw enough sequins and stunt casting at a TV camera and it's bound to work — but I'm not sure the show has had to contend with anyone quite so notorious as former Chicagoan Andy Dick, who joins the new season that starts at 7 p.m. Monday on ABC.
Drama follows the man like a piece of toilet paper stuck to a shoe. He has never lost his talent for comedy, though, honed locally at iO Theater under the guidance of Charna Halpern, a longtime friend whose first name is a ringer for that of Dick's dance partner on the show, newcomer Sharna Burgess.

A grieving son has paid an emotional tribute to his rally star dad after a night of fun at a wedding turned to tragedy.
A man's body was discovered at the side of a road leading into Portrush sparking a police investigation.
The deceased was Glenn Allen from Cookstown, well-known in local rallying circles.
His son, 23-year-old Philip Allen, said: "I love him to bits and he's been my mentor all through my life, he pushed me on through loads of ups and downs.
"I'm going to miss him. He gave my good advice all through my life, only for him I would have very little to do. I'd idolised my dad growing up and he was a great inspiration.
"I was at the wedding too and I watched him walk out and thought he was getting a taxi. You just don't expect it, he was perfectly healthy, he enjoyed the craic and was the life and soul of the party.
"He couldn't ask for any better than my dad, every one knew him and he didn't have any enemies, everyone loved him.
"If I do half as well as he did, I'll be very happy.
"We were standing at the bar and he made fun of us drinking and I was making fun of him and that was that," said Philip who has a sister (21).
Ulster Unionist councillor Trevor Wilson said: "Glenn ran a very successful body work business just outside Cookstown.
"He was very well known in the Cookstown community, it's a terrible tragedy and thoughts and prayers are with all his family at this particular time.
"I met him on many occasions, he was very hard working and was always so helpful. If your car had broken down or you were in an accident he would have been the first to pull you out.
"He was a very successful rally driver and he was heavily involved in it. If he damaged the car he was able to repair it himself.
"The people of Cookstown will be very shocked at his death."
Irish Rallying posted a tribute on their Facebook page, stating: "Very sad to hear the passing of Glenn Allen. Glenn was no stranger to the forestry stages and was always a hard man to beat. Condolences to the family and friends of Glenn. R.I.P."
One Facebook user said: "I cannot believe I am putting this up but a very good and close friend has been taken away from us. Glenn Allen the world will not be the same with out you boss."
A man posted on Twitter: "Sad day for Irish Rallying with the passing of Glenn Allen. Thoughts and prayers with his family."
Mr Allen had spent the evening at the Royal Court Hotel on the outskirts of Portrush where a wedding reception was held.
It is understood he left to walk around two miles into the centre of the town where he was believed to have been staying at a holiday home.
On Sunday at the hotel, staff and customers were stunned that a night of celebration had turned to tragedy.
Hotel owner Jennifer O'Kane said: "We would like to pass on our condolences following this awful tragedy. Everybody is shocked at what has happened."
A hotel customer said: "It can be very difficult to get a taxi here on a Saturday night and we think he must have decided to walk into the town.
Another customer said he knew Mr Allen and added: "Glenn was down here for the wedding last night. It is a terrible tragedy. Glenn was some craic, he was the best of a fella."
The Dunluce Road, which runs past Royal Portrush golf course, was sealed off for several hours on Sunday and near the cordon, Meta Edgar, from the Skerries Holiday Park, said: "Everybody is shocked that this has happened especially with Christmas approaching, there will be a sad home."
At nearby Rathmore Golf Club Irene Dickson, said: "It is shocking that this has happened."
Police said on Sunday they were investigating the death of a man whose body was found by a member of the public at Dunluce Road at 9am that day.
A post mortem was scheduled to take place on Monday to determine how this man died.
Chief Inspector Mark McClarence said on Sunday: "At this time the cause of death is unclear and as such the Dunluce Road will remain closed until after the post mortem."

Why See Weezer and Pixies?
Rivers and Frank
Rock music today would have been very different without these two. Pixies proved to be one of the most influential outfits of the late 80s and early 90s, their soft/loud song structures, pyschosexual lyrics and lead singer Frank Black's animalistic howls gained them an obsessive cult following. Weezer arrived in all their fully-formed, geeky rock glory with their 1994 self-titled debut, which contained the now-classic tracks 'Buddy Holly' and 'Say it Ain't So'.
More than two decades later, both bands are still going strong, and they've joined forces for this mammoth US tour. Catch them playing cuts old and new when they play near you soon!

The center balanced jig falls with a wobbling action in a horizontal position, keeping it in the strike zone longer than the ordinary Butterfly jig.

Great Lure
Does its job, what else can you say? Cast it in, open your bail and let it sink. Once it hits the bottom reel it in half way and let it drop again. Keep an eye on your line, once you see it moving, close the bail, reel in your slack and then hold on!
ProsQuality construction and strong hooks.

Worked well for red snapper. Only negative is the paint chips off after not much use. Toothy fish and hard bottom equals paint removal.

Most Versatile Jig You Can Own
Pitch it out and let it free spool the bottom, reel it up how ever much you want and let it fall again. Cast it out away from the boat and let it fall for a while, reel it back towards you, let it fall again. This jig can be fishing in so many ways for so many species. It can also fish through all different water columns. Landed 3 large bonito on my recent trip to Catalina. The erratic action and silver flash entice fish. I would get hit on retrieve and on the fall. My favorite color is the Blue Sardine in 100g and 160g.
ProsGreat action Super versatile Sharp hooks Great variety of size.
ConsOnly thing I noticed was the split ring on the were not the best. I could use my finger nail to pry it open. Suggest upgrading the split rings on most Shimano jigs. Wish Shimano had more bait fish color for this jig wish the finish was a but more durable since tooth critters crush lead with there teeth and scrap off the colors.

Jumbo Bluefin
I caught a 225lb and a 185lb BFT on these jig at San Clemente, but you have to switch out the hooks to a much larger 9/0 single, or assist rig for the jumbo BFT. Also must rig mono with an abrasion grommet at the eye. Let it flutter down 200-300 feet, and then 7-8 cranks, pause....and then again, pause...and so on. Don't set hook when fish bites just reel and don't stop until fish sets hook himself. Go for it!

Superb Quality and Easy to Use !
I never used jigs because I was a "live bait" guy for many years and never thought I needed to use jigs to catch fish. This year I decided to give jigs a try and so I searched around and spoke with many anglers on which type and/or brand to use. It seems the consensus was the "hottest ticket" right now to catching fish here in Southern California waters is using these Shimano Flat Falls, especially the glow in the dark ones. Let me tell you, they weren't kidding. These Flat Fall jigs are super easy to use and work really well for catching all kinds of fish! They are able to catch from your everyday Rockfish to a "fish of a lifetime" jumbo Bluefin Tunas! I would seriously recommend and if you are serious about your gear to give these Shimano Flat Fall jigs a try! You won't be disappointed!

Arkansas, April 1- Average retail gasoline prices in Arkansas have fallen 3.2 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.42/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,826 gas outlets in Arkansas. This compares with the national average that has fallen 1.9 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.61/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Arkansas during the past week, prices yesterday were 33.2 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 16.2 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 10.3 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 28.1 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago. "Gas prices in March came in like a lion and are going out like a lamb," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "For the first time in a decade gasoline prices are going to be lower at the end of March than the beginning. GasBuddy data shows that the last time this happened was in 2003 when prices fell a nickle between the start of the month and the conclusion. Essentially what we're seeing here this month is perhaps the largest monthly decrease ever during the month of March- a month that has almost always seen prices finishing the month substantially higher than where they entered," DeHaan said. About GasBuddy GasBuddy operates ArkansasGasPrices.com and over 250 similar websites that track gasoline prices at over 140,000 gasoline stations in the United States and Canada. In addition, GasBuddy offers a free smartphone app which has been downloaded over 25 million times to help motorists find the lowest gasoline prices in their area.

MA in Counseling (Oregon)
Western Seminary's Master of Arts in Counseling degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling prepares Christian counselors to bring concern and care for the whole person. It equips you to excel in Christian counseling, as well as in church, private practice, agency, clinical mental health, or school settings. As with most counseling degrees, this program offers skill-based coursework, internship experience, as well as a requirement to complete your own personal counseling. Since this program is offered at a seminary, it also unites biblical and theological studies in order to connect both Christian worldview and compassion to the counseling profession. While the curriculum satisfies Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) requirements set forth by the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists, it is also CACREP accredited, allowing you flexibility to obtain licensure in many other states with minimal additional work.
Graduate in as few as three years
Up to seven credits are available via online courses
What Sets Our Counseling Training Apart?
- CACREP Accreditation
- Unique integration of Christian theology and counseling in a seminary context
- Mentoring from core faculty who are licensed professional counselors with earned doctorates and years clinical experience
- Opportunity to complete the National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Examination before graduation - 98% of Western graduates pass on their first attempt
- An emphasis on "learning while doing"…
- …in a state of the art counselor training center on the Portland campus
- …serving clients as early as your second semester in the program
- …completing 700 hours of clinical experience across two sites
Counseling Curriculum
CACREP Accreditation
The Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs (CACREP) holds member schools to the most rigorous standards of counseling curriculum and training experience in the United States. In the absence of a national counseling licensure standard, a CACREP accredited counseling degree is the best asset you can have to achieve licensure–in many states.
Accessible Scheduling
The MA in Counseling may be completed in three years' time by taking courses offered on Mondays at Western Seminary Portland campus in Portland, Oregon. Students who live at a distance may also complete up to 7 credits of online courses through the Western Seminary Online campus. These scheduling solutions allow students to minimize travel to campus and maintain their family, church, and work commitments.
Counseling Education That Keeps Debt Down
Work as a counselor can have limited financial reward. That's why we encourage wise financial stewardship as you pay for school. In fact, the average Western Seminary counseling student graduates with an average of only $13,567 in loan debt to repay. It might surprise you to learn that only about 19% of our students utilize loans, choosing instead to paying out of pocket, with scholarships, or via a monthly payment plan. Look into your options for financial aid.
Find median pay rates and employability outlook for counselors at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Admission Requirements
- A Bachelor's degree from an accredited undergraduate institution
- A cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher
- A foundational knowledge of psychology
- A completed application for admission and all admissions materials, including:
If you do not meet one of these requirements, contact an Admissions Counselor to explore alternative MA in Counseling admission options.
The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), has granted accreditation to the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program (MA degree) at Western Seminary Portland Campus.

To a Cockroach, Aotearoa 2011 by Siobhan Harvey
dancer of Indian summer, or lodestar, death-
headed dazzler of rainforest. But here,
you're more dull fabric, threading together,
interstitially, brown Porchester Street staties
and sienna walled Princes Wharf apartments.
Great leveller wherever, you carry your whakapapa
like an exoskeleton: head, thorax, abdomen, memories
of ancestors who fought for Gaba Tepe, landed at
Poverty Bay, navigated Kupe's constellations and,
with tuatara- and weta-like fortitude, felt earth made
electric by Carnosaurs voracious dash. Now, at twilight,
you've turned to us, ravening, antediluvian, bone fractured us,
who tend you with aerosols or rolled-up newspapers
even when you're sharing your wardrobe, food, home.
But there are moments when light falls upon you,
perhaps during December's late afternoons,
the breath of the land reaching out to us across
the ledges of open windows, when we pause, remember,
feel the heavy weight of our spines, the lethargy in
our skeletons, our psyches' loneliness and doubts,
and so we stop, release our grip upon the fine-print
or liberate index fingers from the aerosol nozzle
and allow you and your mokopuna to carry on.

Siobhan Harvey is the author of the poetry collection Lost Relatives (Steele Roberts, 2011), the book of literary criticism Words Chosen Carefully: New Zealand Writers in Discussion (Cape Catley, 2010), aand is editor of the anthology, Our Own Kind: 100 New Zealand Poems about Animals (Random House NZ, 2009).
Her poems have been published in magazines in New Zealand, Australia, UK, Europe and US, and anthologies in New Zealand and the UK. She's the poetry editor of Takahe, Coordinator of National Poetry Day in New Zealand, was runner up in the 2011 Kathleen Grattan Prize for a Sequence of Poems (NZ), and nominated for the 2011 Pushcart Prize for poetry (US). More here and here
In this poem, Siobhan begins with her imagination—it's not the cockroach itself or even her experience of the cockroach but rather how she imagines the cockroach: not as a pest or a repugnant bug but as a glorious dancer. When you think about it we never leave the poet's head—this is all an act of imagination.
I love that Siobhan explores the consequences of action without reflection—an automatic, unthinking, speedy grab for the bug spray with no pause for reverie or contemplation. The poem ends with empathy: all animals have a family and an ancestry; all animals want to live. We really do share that in common with cockroaches.
Whose world is it anyway? We humans think it's all ours—but look at the strange unexpected reversal of conventional thinking in "who tend you with aerosols or rolled-up newspapers/ even when you're sharing your wardrobe, food, home." It's their world too; their house, their home. A good poem can shake how we frame our world.

What really struck me about this poem was the pausing to consider the 'heavy weight of our spines, the lethargy in our skeletons' - that connection between the physical body and ancestry. Our bones hold our history. I love Siobhan's poetry (I was so lucky to be tutored by her in a creative writing paper at uni). Thank you for sharing, Harvey & Siobhan.

Fabulous! I love that moment when poetry makes us pause and look at things in a different light. And the use of language in the poem is so rich but also 'balanced.'
A great editorial choice, Harvey.

Talk about infinity in a grain of sand; here's geograohy and history in a cockroach. A wonderful poem, reminding us that even those creatures we class as vermin have something to offer. Thank you Harvey and Siobhan.

You'll be able to spot the poets in your neighbourhood from now on - they will be the gentle souls moved by this poem who instead of rolling newspaper to thwack will be unfolding it to catch the cockroaches and deliver them safely outside, on a newspaper slide.
Yes, I am a fan too of 'Lost Relatives'

DescriptionBart vs. The Space Mutants is a platform game where the player goes into the role of Bart Simpson (from the TV show The Simpsons) and must stop the Space Mutants from invading Springfield.
On each of the five levels, Bart must collect (or get rid of) the ingredients that the Space Mutants are planning to use to build their machine, such as purple objects or balloons. He also has to collect enough "proof" of the aliens existence (brown coins left behind when they are jumped on), so his family members will help him when he meets a boss (characters such as Nelson and Sideshow Bob). This won't be easy since the Space Mutants are "using" human bodies as disguise. In order to discover who are the real Space Mutants, Bart must use his X-ray Specs.
The ways Bart can get rid of those objects sought by the Space Mutants are numerous. For instance, in the first stage, Bart must get rid of purple objects. He can dye them red, cover them, wash them, etc. Some even involve a little puzzle solving, like playing a trick on Moe to make him get out of the bar.
Bart also has some coins that can be used in many ways throughout the game, like buying things, getting devices operating, etc. Those coins are essential to solve some puzzles in the game.

Amiga bundleThe game was bundled with the Amiga for about a year, in a bundle called Cartoon Classics which also included Captain Planet, Lemmings, and Deluxe Paint 3. The pack was unchanged when the Amiga 500 Plus model launched. Because the Amiga didn't come with a joystick at the time, the bundled version was edited to allow for keyboard control.
Amiga versionFor the Amiga version, Arc Development decided to include an animated opening sequence in the style of the actual Simpsons show. In order for them to do this they had to send each frame to Matt Groening and he hand drew over each one. Despite this effort, the animation still looks poor in comparison to the show.

Everyone likes a good deal. Over the past few days, we've noticed quite a few popping up, so we thought we'd share a few with you. We have no monetary ties to any of these companies. They just look like good deals on devices we've enjoyed using. Most of these deals are for Sprint.
- iPhone 4S on Sprint for $150: AllThingsD noticed that Sprint has lowered the price on the current iPhone from $200 to $150. Other carriers may follow suit. Apple is expected to debut a new iPhone in the September or October timeframe.
- HTC EVO 4G LTE for free or $150: AmazonWireless always seems to have low prices on phones. Today, it's offering the EVO 4G LTE for Sprint for $0.01 if you're new to Sprint and sign up for a two-year contract, or $150 if you renew your contract.
- Samsung Galaxy S3 on Sprint for $100 or $150: Amazon is also offering the Galaxy S3 for $100 to new Sprint subscribers or $150 to those who renew.
- Galaxy Nexus on Sprint for free or $80: This is a great deal. The Galaxy Nexus has weak battery life, but for free with a new Sprint contract and $80 for a renewal, you're not doing bad. Buy a second battery.
- Samsung offers up to $300 for old phone trade in: On its Facebook page, Samsung has started a new promotion where it will offer up to $300 for your current phone if you upgrade to a new Samsung phone. It's a double mail-in rebate of sorts. You buy a new phone then mail Samsung your old one. If everything checks out, it then mails you a check.
Did I miss some good deals? We can't list them all, but if you notice any good ones going on, comment here and I'll add them.

Code review should be constructive and specific. These criteria are a guideline for what reviewers should consider when reviewing new code. This is not a strict prerequisite to be completed before review. They are just for information purposes to be aware of what aspects of new code have actually been reviewed, and what has not. It is a list of suggestions for reviewers to record the criteria they're reviewing, rather than another barrier for developers of new applications and libraries to worry about. For example a reviewer does not have to test the new code on all platforms or compilers, but can say which ones were tested if more than the most common linux/gcc. See origins here.
All criteria do not all have to be completed, and additional criteria can optionally be defined by the reviewer. The desired result of a review is that the reviewer states whether the code is of enough quality as it is now, or whether changes are necessary, and what criteria were considered in making that assessment.

More Information
Troubadour, TX
Troubadour, TX is a journey into the lives of some of today's most talented singers and songwriters. A unique look behind the scenes and into the lives of today's Troubadours. Men and women who are living the dream…others who are chasing it. Some perform to sold out crowds. Some are just hoping to catch a break. Some of these artists have written hundreds of songs. Others just a few.
Most of the artists who are living the dream have enjoyed numerous number one hits and when they perform the audience sings along. Some artists dream of having a hit song; of experiencing that moment when the crowd knows their music and when it happens…it's big.
Making it in the music business is about more than talent…it usually takes a team – managers, musicians, money and a whole lot of determination to never look back. This is where the music, the passion and the journey begin.
Zane Williams
Zane Williams is a native of Abilene, Texas. He is now a Texas Country singer/songwriter in McKinney, Texas.
Zane's 2003 collection of music prompted a string of national awards for the relatively unknown artist. Zane was a finalist in an unprecedented three categories at MerleFest's Chris Austin Song Contest, claiming top slots in both the Country and General categories. "Hurry Home" was also selected as the $20,000 Maxell Song of the Year in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Williams released the album Hurry Home in 2006. He signed a publishing deal with Big Yellow Dog Music in 2007. The album's title track was released as a single by Jason Michael Carroll in 2009.
Williams has toured extensively throughout the United States, including Missouri, Alabama, and Texas.
In January 2010, Williams released an album titled The Right Place, which he co-produced with Radney Foster. Jessica Phillips of Country Weekly magazine gave the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, saying, "If you're in the mood for true honky-tonk music, you're in the right place."
Here's a clip of Zane Williams in studio, recording his new single, 'Sure Felt Like Goodbye':
Josh Grider
Josh Grider knows two things, he loves writing songs, and he loves playing them for people. Across the great southwest, Texas and beyond, Josh has been delivering the goods non-stop since the release of his first album in 2005. Seven years, four full-length albums, and two EPs later, Josh is still going strong with no signs of slowing down.
While touring in support of his Live At Billy Bob's Texas album, Josh found himself on a radio show with Wade Bowen. After the show, Wade offered to introduce Josh to his management team. That introduction led to Josh meeting and eventually signing with AMP Entertainment, a new publishing/artist management venture launched by industry veteran, Tim Dubois (hit songwriter, founder Arista Nashville, responsible for signing Brooks and Dunn, Alan Jackson, Lee Roy Parnell, Brad Paisley, Diamond Rio). Becoming a member of the AMP Entertainment family has begun a whole new, and very exciting chapter in Josh's music career.
Currently, Josh splits his time between Tennessee and Texas writing songs and/or touring. He has recently finished work on some recordings that are slated for a late 2012 release and will coincide with Josh's appearance on the docu-reality television series Troubadour TX. The project was co-produced by Dubois and fellow AMP artist/writer Trent Willmon. Josh will tell you he'd rather be busy than bored, and from the looks of things there will be very few dull moments in the coming months for Mr. Grider.
The road he walks is not for the faint of heart, or the faithless. As well as a musician, Josh is a father, a husband, a brother, and a son. All these roles help keep him grounded and inspired as he travels the highways and byways, chronicling his experiences in the songs he writes, and playing them for any and all who care to hear.
Here is Josh Grider introducing himself to viewers of Troubadour, TX:
Matt Caldwell
Raised on the outskirts of Dallas, close enough to see the city lights reflected in the sky at night, but seemingly a world away, Matt Caldwell's childhood was typical for someone in a small Texas town.
Growing up in Nevada, TX (pop. 854), Matt started singing in church at an early age, but by high school, as happens with many young men in small-town Texas, sports became the focus of his after-school interests. He played baseball, basketball and was the starting quarterback of the football team. But by his senior year, music was creeping back into his life. Matt gave up sports to front a band called "Texas' Most Wanted". They played in the little dive bars in town and the surrounding areas and eventually made their way to the larger clubs and festivals.
After a few years on the road, Matt knew writing songs and playing music was what he wanted to do with his life, it was his passion, it was in his blood.
Matt made a decision to move to Nashville, but like so many of the multitudes who made the same move to chase a dream, he soon found himself caught in the balancing act of trying to break into country music while at the same time making a living. "Sometimes it's hard to find gigs and put on a good show when you've been out in the hot sun working construction all day," says Caldwell. Continuing to work on his craft of songwriting after a day's work, as well as becoming more and more natural onstage while continuing to make fans and friends by the dozens, Matt also began taking his music back to his home state of Texas.
His easiness in front of a crowd, approachability and honest-to-goodness humble nature makes it hard to tell who is having more fun…the audience or Matt. He is currently on the road spending a lot of time playing throughout Texas showing fans his version of country music. Matt Caldwell is on the cusp of something big.

Managing Corporate Security: Patterns of Organization
- Authors:
Publication Date:
July 2003
The security function remains decentralized in most companies which can hinder accountability and coordination. Since September 11, 2001 more than half of companies surveyed are not considering creating a Chief Security Officer position.
Organizations address security in three distinct ways: physical, IT, and risk management. Of the three, IT security officers are best paid, followed by risk managers. Directors of physical security earn the least, and are most often mid-level managers reporting to the SVP for facilities, keeping the roots of security in corporate operations.

Lightning Mapping Array Destroyed in Oklahoma Fire, July 10, 2001
NORMAN, Okla., July 10, 2001 -- Officials at the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) in Norman, Okla. say last week's fire which roared through the agency's "Balloon Barn" equipment storage facility has created a major setback to its research efforts after destroying an estimated $1.8 million worth of high-tech research equipment.
Included among the inventory of destroyed equipment was a $300,000 lightning mapping array system developed and recently built for the agency by atmospheric scientists and engineers at New Mexico Tech in Socorro. (See related story on
"This fire's a major setback to our research and development efforts," said James F. Kimpel, NSSL director. "What we learn through our field campaigns -- basic knowledge of storm structures, testing of new detection and measuring devices, and development of new forecasting techniques -- will be significantly impacted.
"It's hard to find a silver lining," he added. "The good news is that no one was in the building at the time of the fire."
New Mexico Tech's lightning array mapping system was scheduled to be installed in the next few weeks in various locations around Oklahoma and was to be used extensively by researchers at NSSL and the University of Oklahoma.
The state-of-the-art system was expected to provide three- dimensional lightning data over a portion of central Oklahoma and two-dimensional data over most of the rest of the state.
Preliminary research conducted last summer by Tech researchers using a prototype of the lightning array mapping system indicates the lightning data provided by such a system could improve the quality of computer-based forecast models, ultimately improving weather forecasts involving severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
Just days after the July 3 warehouse fire, researchers at NSSL and the University of Oklahoma are already seeking funds for New Mexico Tech to begin building them a replacement system.

Corns;Health Remedies
Corns: Health Remedies (AWHW)
Bread and Vinegar: Treat corns with a poultice made out of a piece of white or stale bread saturated with ¼ cup of white vinegar. Soak the bread in the vinegar for 30 minutes. Break off a piece of bread large enough to completely cover the corn, and then hold in place with a piece of gauze or adhesive tape. Leave the poultice on overnight. Callused skin should dissolve and corns should become easier to remove.
Baking Soda Soak: Treat corns to a soothing soak with an added three tablespoons of baking soda to a tub full of warm water.
Cocoa butter can be used which helps in moistening the corn and makes the removal of the corn easier with the help of a pumice stone. Moreover the use of cocoa butter prevents the skin from dehydrating and getting damaged from sun.
Chamomile Tea: Dilute chamomile tea to provide a soothing soak for your corn that helps to soften hard skin. Don't be alarmed if you find your feet stained after the remedy – remove with a little soap and water.
Circle Band-Aid: Use a Band-Aid in the shape of a circle to protect your corn while it heals. Some doctors acknowledge this home remedy as better than using the corn pads found at the pharmacy.
Comfortable Shoes: Avoid wearing shoes that are too tight or too loose. Opt for comfortable footwear that doesn't apply pressure to the feet, which can cause corns to form.
Chalk: Turn a piece of chalk into a powdered home remedy for corns. Add a small amount of water to create a paste for a nighttime treatment applied before bedtime
Castor Oil: Use your finger to apply one drop of castor oil onto a corn three times a day:morning, afternoon, and just before bedtime. Before putting on socks and shoes, cover the corn with a Band-Aid. Slowly, results should emerge over the course of a couple of weeks.
Epsom Salt: If you suffer from inflammation and swelling at the site between the bone and corn, consider soaking your feet in a solution of Epsom salt and warm water. Not only will you reduce the size of the bursa sac causing your inflammation, but you can also relieve surrounding sensory nerves from excess pressure.
Ice: To ease the pain of a hard corn, use ice to reduce swelling and treat discomfort.
Papaya: The healing properties found in papaya can be used to treat a corn. Gently apply one tablespoon of fresh papaya juice onto a corn and allow drying for a couple of hours.
Pineapple: Try applying pineapple juice to a stubborn corn to soften the skin.
Lemon: Apply one to two slices of fresh lemon to your corns and keep in place for a couple of hours. The lemon works towards delivering relief
Trim Toenails: Did you know that one of the primary objectives of toenails is to protect your toes from injury? Yet, when the pressure of a shoe rubs against a toenail for too long, the toe joint can actually push up against the shoe. The result is often a corn. To lessen the pressure that toenails experience, keep them trimmed
Vinegar: Apply a cotton ball saturated with vinegar to your corn. Leave the solution on overnight and in the morning, and then gently rub affected skin with a pumice stone.
Vinegar: Soaking a small piece of cloth in vinegar and wrapping it around your toe can encourage the healing of a corn. Leave this home remedy on throughout the day and night for the best results.
Vaseline: Prepare for excessive walking or running by coating your toes with petroleum jelly as a way to lessen the friction you sustain
Prevention of Foot corn: Some of the preventive measures for the formation of foot corns include:
Avoid the activities which cause friction while you are wearing shoes of tight fitting.Make sure that you wear shoes which fit in properly and are appropriate for your feet.Check the soles and heels of your shoes, they must be even as uneven soles and heels are an indication of ill-fitting and need replacement.
Ensure that the stockings and socks you wear do not cramp your toes. Wearing of the gloves, knee pads and other protective things should be worn to avoid corn formation.
Make sure that you measure your feet before purchasing the shoes this will help you in getting the best fit for your toes. Also ensure that you do the purchasing of the shoes late in the afternoon when the feet are a bit swelled. This will help you in getting the best fit for your shoes.

So how long have you been waiting for this little bomb-shell to drop? Ever since you introduced the Naps character right? Even if it is just a video of a classic concert at some kind of nostalgia night at that club, the sheer fact he is remembered and has known associations with key characters is an interesting revelation in its own right. Especially given the anti-aging techniques known to be available in universe.
Well Played Mr Foreman. Well Played

Here's video, courtesy of camaro5, of the 2014 Camaro that was revealed this morning (I posted pics from the episode earlier today). In addition, the 2014 Jaguar F-type (which some people apparently can't see out of), 2014 VW GTI and 2014 C7 Stingray 'vert were on the show as well since it was about NYIAS cars in general.
I wonder if that's why it was revealed ahead of its live reveal tomorrow... maybe there was a miscommunication between the NYIAS and GM?
EDIT: THANKS A MILLION for sharing this to the FP, Travis.

Worlds Apart
Have you ever heard or used the term, "worlds apart"? It's usually used to indicate how far apart two people's lives, ideas, beliefs, faith, etc. are from one another. Before I started researching my family's genealogy, I thought I was "worlds apart" from other people. I thought I was not really connected to much ~ not to other people nor to history. Nothing. Oh, I knew who my family was [mostly], but not where my family fit into things. Where I fit into things.
Now, I know. Genealogy has become sort of a map for me to show me where I and my family fit into things. I have also come to realize how I'm connected to others ~ blood relations and non-blood relations. In fact, the more I research my family, the more people I run into and stumble upon who I am connected to.
It's really rather amazing at times. How we're connected, that is.
Postcard Connections
This idea of genealogy being a map and everyone being connected to one another crossed my mind while I was trying to select an appropriate postcard for the "Geography" edition of "Festival of Postcards".
Most postcards have either photos of places or photos of people in places. I know when we travel anywhere, I always buy postcards from the places we've visited. Furthermore, if I were to take my postcards and lay them out on a map, they'd not only be a wonderful representation of where I've been, but each one could tell at least one family story as well.
They'd tell of places on my family tree.
They'd tell of places on my genealogy map.
They'd tell of some of the people I'm connected to ~ by blood or otherwise.
Apparently, I'm not the only one who collects postcards of where they've been because I stumbled upon some old postcards and photographs of my mother-in-law's that she had collected. They were from a trip that her mother, N. Virene Richardson, had taken her, her sister, and some friends in the mid-1960's to Washington, D.C. from Iowa. From the photos, I can tell they had an awesome time. However, I know they had an awesome time visiting our nation's capitol because I took that same trip in seventh grade. Yup. All the way from the tip of Texas to D.C. I remember looking at all the monuments and thinking how incredible they were to see in person, but there was one monument I had seen before.
|Mother-in-law's postcard from visit to Arlington National Cemetery in 1960's.
And apparently, it had been remarkable for my mother-in-law as well because she had bought a postcard of it.
The postcard instantly reminded me of the same Iwo Jima statue that stands in Harlingen, Texas ~ a town that's about thirty minutes east of the small town that I'm from, Weslaco, Texas. It also reminded me of some recently acquired information that I'd stumbled upon while doing some research of Weslaco, Texas for another blog post. This was the day I found I had a connection to the Iwo Jima statue. [O.K., it's a small one, but I do have one.]
Of Course There's A Story Behind It
The story behind this statue is quite interesting. It depicts the 2nd raising of the American flag on Mount Suribachi 23 Feb 1945 by 5 U.S. Marines and 1 Navy Corpsman at Iwo Jima in World War II. Joe Rosenthal of the Associated Press took the photo, and from it the the 3 men that survived the war that had raised the flag, became famous due to the popularity of the photo and what it represented.
When it came time to identify the men from the photo, there was a mistake made in the 5th marine's identity ~ the one closest to the ground. It was incorrectly identified as Henry "Hank" Hansen who had actually died in between the first flag raising and the second flag raising.
And when the correct marine's mama saw the photo 2 days after it had been taken in the newspaper, she, according to Wikipedia, exclaimed, "That's Harlon!" She even stated, "I know my boy."
Now, I just love that statement. I'm a mama too. I would know my children anywhere. I would know "my boy." It's just a "mama thing." There's just something about the bond that's made between a mama and her child before the child even takes his or her first breath. Yup. There are no two ways about it. I would've known my boy too.
His identity was later corrected. The 5th marine was Corporal Harlon Block, and he was killed in action less than 2 weeks after the photo was taken. The first statue of Joe Rosenthal's photo was sculpted by Felix de Weldon, and it's now located next to Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia [just outside of D.C.]. The original plaster working model of the first statue is located in Harlingen, Texas [near my home town], on the grounds of the Marine Military Academy. The story of Cpl. Block and the other 5 men who raised the American flag in Iwo Jima is told in the book Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley from which a movie by the same name was directed by Clint Eastwood and released in 2006.
I Should've Known
Now, I never knew Corporal Harlon Block, but...
I've played in his park. [Now it's a sports complex.]
I've walked the same streets that he did. [Some look the same, some look a little different.]
We attended the same high school. [Definitely looks different.]
My Dad took me to see the Iwo Jima statue in Harlingen, Texas a couple of times in the 1980's after the statue was donated. [In 1995, Cpl. Block was moved from the Weslaco City Cemetery to lie next to the statue where he still is today.]
My Dad paid for the Washington, D.C. trip where I saw the original statue that marks Cpl. Block's involvement in such an important day in our nation's history. [Had an awesome time.]
That's right. Corporal Harlon Block and I come from the same small border town of Weslaco, Texas.
What are the odds, right?
I don't remember my Dad ever telling me that Cpl. Block was from Weslaco [or maybe I just wasn't paying attention]. Maybe he just thought that I already knew. I should've known, tho'. I mean, I'd been playing in the park named after Corporal Harlon Block in Weslaco for, like, "forever." [rolling eyes heavenward]
Aaah. Those connections are everywhere. We just have to open up our eyes and find them.
For we're all connected ~ some in big ways and some in small ways.
Connected by genealogy, history, people, and geography that criss-cross through our lives like roads on a map. Hopefully, we've collected a postcard or two along the way to help us remember.
I don't believe we're all "worlds apart" anymore. Nope. I think Walt Disney got it right.
"It's a small world after all."

Unemployment filing advice from Faculty Association of California Community Colleges (FACCC) Director of Government Relations, Andrea York.
In Fall 2009, the FACCC Education Institute's Part-Time Symposium included a workshop on "Filing for Unemployment." To view a PowerPoint presentation from this workshop, click below.
If you participate in SRJC's IRC 125 Plan and plan to file for
UI benefits, please note this important information.
Will my UI benefits be reduced if I'm receiving a retirement pension or benefits?
There are several reasons, but if your denial says you have "reasonable assurance" of work because you've been offered an assignment for the upcoming term, you may have grounds for an appeal.
Unemployment insurance (UI) benefits are not a form of welfare.
They are an earned benefit for which you, as adjunct faculty, have the
right to apply between terms. Even if you have been
offered an assignment for the following term, you may still be eligible
for UI benefits from the date of your last final exam up to the date
of your first class in the subsequent term. Click here to read more if you have any of the following questions:
Why are adjunct instructors eligible for unemployment
How do I file for benefits?
How much will I receive?
Once I start receiving benefits, do I have to fill out any forms?
I've heard that EDD is now issuing debit cards instead of checks. Is that true?
Do I have to pay income taxes on benefits?
What happens when my benefits run out before I return to work?
What if my claim is denied?
What do I say in my telephone interview?
What should I do if I get an EDD Notice of Potential Overpayment?
To read AFA's Unemployment Benefits FAQs and get important contact information, click here.
I've heard that EDD is now issuing debit cards instead of checks. Is that true?
Yes, in 2011, the EDD completed the transition from paper to plastic. Instead of delivering Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefit payments by check, EDD is now issuing the EDD Debit CardSM. Once you have received your card, you will have the option for a direct deposit transfer. For more information about the EDD Debit CardSM, click here.
