PINEHURST — It doesnt seem like that long ago Matt Kuchar was the apple-cheeked amateur playing out of his mind at the Masters, his dad toting his bag. Fifteen years later, hes back for his third spin around Pinehurst No. 2, six PGA Tour wins to his credit but still looking for his first major.
Ranked fifth in the world, Kuchar may lead the list when it comes to the best active players never to have won a major. Certainly, hes tops among Americans.
I think Im still new to that. I think its great, Kuchar said Tuesday. If you havent won a major, you sure want to be a part of that conversation. Im happy Im part of that conversation. But certainly its a goal of mine. Its a goal of everybodys. Its been a goal of mine since I started playing the game.
Kuchar has company among his countrymen this week. At 35, hes in the prime of his career. Dustin Johnson, 29, isnt far behind. Both have had chances to win majors in the past. Both have a chance to contend this week.
There are younger Americans who may jump ahead, with 20-year-old Jordan Spieth the most likely candidate. There are lesser-known players like Jimmy Walker, who has had about as good a summer as anyone on the tour. Theres Steve Stricker, who at 47 may have seen his best chances pass.
Both Kuchar and Johnson have reached the point in their careers where theyre not only capable of winning a major, its practically expected of them at this point. And yet here they are, still waiting for that breakthrough.
Theyre coming into that age where theyve got the experience, theyve had a couple of chances, theyve won tournaments, two-time U.S. Open winner Curtis Strange said. Theyve won all the money they could ever spend. So now the next step is to really up the ante and win something like this.
Kuchar knows this course well, having played as an amateur in 1999, making him one of 12 players who were here then and in 2005. In many ways, it feels like Kuchars time has come, in part because his game has matured, in part because he has.
I started the game at 12 or 13 and I can remember throwing clubs and having a temper, Kuchar said. I think as I matured and kind of became more the person I am, my temperament is much more easygoing and accepting of things: This is the situation, whether its a life situation or a golf situation, and you deal with it, you make the most of it. So in golf I think that it serves me well. It certainly will be in full need this week.
Johnsons time already came and went twice, the kind of chances to win majors players await their entire careers slipping through his hands in the space of two months. In the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, a course where he typically thrives, he went into the final round with a three-stroke lead only to go 5-over on the first three holes.
A month later in the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, he grounded his club in what he thought was a waste area on the 72nd hole. It was retroactively ruled a hazard, knocking him out of a playoff won by Martin Kaymer. If Pebble Beach was a bad round, this was just bad luck.
No one doubts Johnsons length or his talent. With six top-10s in 21 major appearances, hes been knocking on the door his entire career.
Can he break through? Can Kuchar? Their time is now. Theres no telling how much longer it will last.

Carol Shaw had no idea when she started working at Atari in 1978 that she was becoming the first female professional computer game designer. Fresh off earning her Masters in Computer Science from UC Berkeley, Shaw was excited to take her first professional job with a company that made games. While Atari's president once told her "Oh, at last! We have a female game designer. She can do cosmetics color matching and interior decorating cartridges!", Shaw thankfully did not receive the same sort of discrimination from her fellow programmers. While her early games seem rudimentary today, 3-D Tic Tac Toe and Video Checkers, these efforts were innovative for their time. Shaw's most popular work, River Raid, would come later when she worked for Activision. Shaw's programming career was as lucrative as it was short-lived, allowing her to essentially retire in the mid-eighties as a pioneer in her field.

Not all websites are created equal. SEO is the term for increasing your visibility on search engines. The more traffic you have, the more your business can grow. Read through the tips below to learn how to optimize your site.
It's best to have lots of short articles than a few long ones. On search engines, long pages are usually weighted lower than shorter ones. Plus, a long article means that the specific info that the visitor was looking for will likely be buried somewhere in the long article and the visitor will quickly abandon it for another site.
There are a great number of ways to achieve good search engine optimization. You will get the best results if the system is set to achieve the maximum efficiency with searches. As you improve performance, users will benefit from a more enjoyable experience.
The correct anchor text is very important when linking internally on your website. You should avoid vague and generic text links like "click here" because it is not helpful in increasing your search engine ranking. Utilizing the correct keywords in your anchor text will not go unnoticed by those search engine spiders.
Use header tags within your webpages. Do not make these too large or wide. The major search engines use the headers for ranking websites. The tags H1 and H2 should highlight your service or product.
One way to use SEO is to create a blog on your website; you might also use your site to interact with other bloggers to improve your ranking. Since search engines like highly-structured websites and new content, blogs often rank high on them. The more backlinks you have to your site, the higher you'll rank on the search engine results page.
There are many tricks that you can use to improve your SEO. Many great resources of information on the topic are available online. These resources can be found on other sites as well as in some good books.
Concentrate on a single subject on each page. Avoid the mistake of using one article to promote multiple products. This will confuse your readers and discourage them from returning. Each page should be focused on one product or sales effort.
To boost the SEO of your website, you must learn social media marketing basics and sign up with a bunch of free, available social networks. There are more than just the well-known sites, such as Twitter, Yelp, and Facebook. There are a large number of social networking sites out there, and some of them are geared toward certain topics. Join those that will have people interested in your business to increase your sales and revenue.
One piece of advice that we hear in the SEO world is to include keywords into your comment tags. Try to focus on the content of your site.
Many site owners forget to check their sites for grammar issues, even though that is one of the most important things about owning a website. Your website needs to be clear and legible. If there are a lot of grammar mistakes, or if you spelled your keywords wrong, you can bet that a lot of search engines will not include your site.
Site maps with plenty of keywords are very good for search engine optimization. Site maps are excellent navigational tools as well as helpful for search engine optimization. A search engine will also use your site map to give you a higher ranking because one of the things that they are looking for is how easy your website is to access.
You will not have to use image links if you are using SEO correctly. Image links only will refer back to the direct link or host of that image file.
Learn how to effectively incorporate the language you need to include in your HTML tags. Keyword usage will help you improve your SEO. Search engines tend to place more value on your title tag than other areas. Use your best keywords in your page titles to bring in the visitors!
Generate more hits on search engines by using plural forms or longer versions of keywords. Keyword stemming is used by many search engines. Using the plural form of the word, such as "accountants" instead of "accountant," will increase the likelihood that people who search for similar terms will be directed to your site. Use the longer form of words, such as adding -ing or -ly, to take advantage of keyword stemming.
Ask yourself the question "how would somebody find my site if they were searching for it?" Then ensure that you have multiple uses of these keywords scattered through your site. You can utilize these keywords anywhere from headers and titles to bodies and conclusions. Use keywords with caution, as incomprehensible and excessive keywords can get your site marked as spam.
Try basing your articles on keywords to help improve SEO of your articles. Putting the right keywords in your articles will make search engines respond positively to them. That will also help readers to easily find your articles. You want to add the keyword into the title, the introduction, and a couple times within the body of the text.
If you are sharing a server, you need to make sure that a banned site doesn't share the same proxy. If you share a proxy with disreputable sites, search engines will not rank your site favorably. This can translate into less business.
Wade Cockfield Executive SEO Is a great resource for SEO Melbourne and SEO Perth
Purchasing used domain names can be a good way to start out with a site that has a higher ranking with the search engines. If a domain name is over two years old, it gets higher search engine rankings by default. Search for domain names that fit well with your website on lists of expiring or expired domain names.
Just having a website isn't enough to guarantee success. Your business deserves a great site that search engines rank highly. The greater your visitor number, the higher your sales are sure to be. Make use of the advice in this piece to get your website where it ought to be.

August 1, 2014
In just a couple weeks, the Pentagon is expected to release its recommendations of which military bases to close.
The Governor has been lobbying hard to keep all four of Wisconsin's military bases off the list.
Fort McCoy near Tomah has a long history as a Wisconsin military base.
But it will have to prove it's worth yet again if it wants to remain off the Base Realignment and Closure–or Brac–list.
The Pentagon and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld are creating the list, and rumor has it, up to 20% of all bases could be closed.
Linda Fournier is a spokesperson for Fort McCoy. She says the big question is whether the base can do the job in a new era of warfare. "What's going to be fix, the best mix of training installations and what should be kept open?"
Fort McCoy couldn't be more valuable right now. They exclusively cater to training the reserves and the National Guard. "We're 60,000 acres that serve as a training site for military personnel from all branches,' says Fournier.
127,000 troops trained at Fort McCoy last year. "50% of our force right now is the reserve and guard. So they need places where they can have that exclusivity to train on," says Fournier.
Fort McCoy is also important to the Midwest, because it's close enough that many families can visit. "Where would those guard and reserve soldiers train? Would they have to go on the road for 10–12 hours to get someplace to do their training?"
The Brac list will be released May16th. After that a Presidential commission, the President and congress will have to approve the list before any bases are closed.

CHAPEL HILL — As UNC-Chapel Hill prepares for its next multibillion-dollar fundraising campaign, leaders want to sweeten the compensation package for the next vice chancellor in charge of raising money.
On Thursday, the university's Board of Trustees is expected to approve a plan to award annual bonuses of up to nearly $99,000 to the next vice chancellor of development. The bonus would be on top of base salary, which could top out at $395,874, according to the UNC system's compensation range.
The university is currently conducting a national search for the permanent replacement for Matt Kupec, the former vice chancellor for advancement who resigned last year in disgrace after he was found to have used university funds to take personal trips with Tami Hansbrough, another former UNC-CH fundraiser and mother of former Tar Heel basketball star Tyler Hansbrough. At the time of Kupec's resignation, his salary was nearly $350,000.
On Wednesday, a trustee committee considered a plan to offer up annual "incentive compensation" of up to 25 percent of his or her base salary each year, if the vice chancellor meets specific performance goals. If the candidate is paid at the UNC system's top limit, he or she could bag a yearly bonus of about $99,000. The bonus money would be paid with non-state funds, presumably from private gifts.
The move would be allowable under a university policy on non-salary and deferred compensation approved by trustees in June.
UNC-CH leaders argue that the market for top fundraisers is extremely competitive, and the university is expected to set a lofty goal for its next big fundraising drive. The last campaign, called "Carolina First," brought in $2.38 billion for the university.
If the trustees go ahead with the plan, the new compensation scheme would give the university the ability to pay more than the UNC system's salary range allows.
The bonuses would be awarded each August, according to the plan, depending on outcome of the vice chancellor's annual review.
"This is very common now in running these enterprises at all universities," said Chancellor Carol Folt.
Trustees were supportive of the bonus plan.
"I think it's urgent," said Phil Clay, a trustee and former chancellor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Salaries that are paid are well, well beyond $400,000."
The university has a significant fundraising operation. In the fiscal year that just ended, the university brought in nearly $271 million in private donations. That represented a 5.8 percent drop from 2012, said Julia Sprunt Grumbles, who has served as interim vice chancellor for advancement.
Grumbles said the drop was partly a function of turnover in top administrative ranks and partly because donors know a large campaign will be launched in the near future.

We like Caltrans. They do terrific work under difficult circumstances. But the chip seal on Highway 1 north of Cambria is a disaster.
The bumpy, rocky shoulders just dont work for bicycling, and that is a problem for the whole Central Coast.
Bicycle touring generates hundreds of thousands of dollars for local businesses. What happens to our friends and neighbors when their income drops because of what Caltrans did?
One of the worst frustrations of this project is that its an experiment, Jim Shivers wrote in an email, because the binding agents used in this type of work are an evolving technology, so we are short on written specifics for now.
Whats that about? They didnt even write specs for this project?
Caltrans claims it costs $8 million to pave over the chip seal. Why dont they use a microsurface seal on top of the chip? They did that on Highway 1 near Kansas Avenue to cover up the old concrete section, and its doing great. They could do that for half the cost of repaving. How much do they spend cleaning up rockslides in Monterey County? Please, Caltrans, help your Central Coast neighbors and fix this problem.

HARRISONBURG -- Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling cast three tie-breaking votes in the Virginia Senate.
In a surprising move on Monday, he broke party lines, siding with the Democrats. On Tuesday, he was back with the Republicans, casting a tie breaking vote on a Republican backed bill that would require photo identification at the polls.
James Madison University Political Scientist Bob Roberts discussed if this has anything to do with Lt. Gov. Bolling's potential run for governor. Dr. Roberts said this shows Lt. Gov. Bolling is taking more moderate positions and that stance will help him gain more support if he decides to run as an independent candidate.
Dr. Roberts said Bolling will likely try to appeal to both parties during budget debates.
"He would try, I suspect, if there is a stalemate on the budget, he would try to mediate a dispute between them," said Dr. Roberts, "So he comes out as the mature adult of the group where everyone else is coming out as children. So I think that is his goal right now and so far its working pretty well."
Lt. Gov. Bolling withdrew his candidacy for the Republican nomination. He said there was more support for Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli from the Republican party. He is considering running as an independent.

Entertainment behind the scenes
Reggae, violins, ballads mark Rolling Stones night on "American Idol"
It was Rolling Stones night on "American Idol", and as Simon Cowell remarked at one point, lots of Stones fans would likely have turned off their TV sets (assuming they had been watching in the first place).
If wild horses hadn't dragged you away in the first hour of violin and soft ballad versions of classic hits like "Ruby Tuesday" and "Beast of Burden" , Tim Urban's acoustic reggae treatment of "Under My Thumb" was by far the strangest. "Very bizarre," said Randy Jackson. Even good-natured Ellen DeGeneres could muster nothing more encouraging than, "It didn't wow me.".
Urban said he knew he was taking a risk but realized he could never sound or look like a member of the Stones.
Siobhan Magnus and Crystal Bowersox didn't look or sound like Mick Jagger either. But Magnus's dramatic version of "Paint It, Black" had echoes of Adam Lambert and was judged one of the standout performances of the night.

The long and short of it: the absolute return crew's best trade ideas
Sponsored By:
by Annabelle Williams on Nov 09, 2012 at 07:00
Wealth Manager asks a batch of absolute return fund managers where they are finding their best long and short ideas in the market volatility.
As the government moves to trim public sector spending, Cartesian partner Andrew Kelly has found shorting Healthcare Locums to be a good play.
Kelly, who manages the Cartesian UK Equity Long/Short fund, says he avoids shorting stocks that are moving around on market dips and rallies and concentrates on finding business models that are likely to come under pressure from external forces. 'Healthcare Locums is a business that had a number of red flags that alerted us to the possibility that it could be a good short,' he says, pointing to a change in accounting policy.
'Another issue for the company was that it announced a bid approach that then collapsed. If you imagine what's happened in a bid situation, this has given the company the chance to go through the accounts and all the due diligence that we don't have access to.'
Although investors were not privy to the full reasons why the bid was dropped, it alerted them to the fact there might be issues, Kelly says.
Finally, Healthcare Locums bought a business from the husband of its chief executive, a move Kelly describes as 'a very peculiar set of circumstances in itself'.
This was the catalyst for significantly raising his small short position that had been in place since early 2010. A year later, the company announced a profits warning and management change. The company was refinanced and shares fell by 90%, with Kelly able to profit.Tightened purse strings at the consumer level have meant opportunities for managers able to short retailers dependent on discretionary spending.
Citywire A-rated managers on the Legal & UK Absolute fund Robert Churchlow, Guy Rushton and Graham Taylor took a position in a general retailer that focuses on car maintenance at the end of 2011.
'The idea was instigated because the business was coming under significant pressure through increased competition, and previous key growth markets, like Satnavs, were reversing,' they say. 'On a macro level consumer discretionary spend was tightening, which the market failed to recognise.'
The share price began sliding as the retailer issued multiple profit warnings in July 2012, and the managers successfully closed the position.Their fund has returned 11.17% over the last year compared to the FTSE 100 TR's 16.36%.
Meanwhile, concerns over slowing growth in emerging markets have led some EU-listed companies that are heavily reliant on overseas markets to issue trading warnings.
The luxury goods sector is a prime example and James Clunie of Scottish Widows Investment Partnership (Swip) has been shorting both Burberry and Mulberry. 'I know those stocks had done very well – Burberry had gone up from 20p to £20 at one point,' he says.
'But luxury seems to do well in certain times; it seems to be somewhat cyclical. Wherever there's an asset bubble somewhere in the world and people get rich quickly, that's when luxury does well.'
Clunie, who manages the Swip UK Flexible Strategy fund, notes that the rise of the Burberry and Mulberry's sales in overseas markets – particularly China – coincided with a massive boom in Chinese property prices. As prices came crashing down, he expected the luxury sector to also be hit.
'The Mulberry short was difficult because the stock was going up so much and we had to be very careful about that, but this year it has halved from its peak,' he explains.
'Burberry was a little bit easier. It had been more stable and we shorted it at the time Mulberry had its profit warning, but then Burberry announced there had been a rapid deceleration in their growth rates.'
The Citywire A-rated manager has returned 25.96% over the last three years, outperforming the 2.44% return in LIBOR GBP 3 Months.
Turning to the financial services sector, a string of recent scandals and an increase in regulatory demands means these stocks have been among some of the most beaten-up recently.
Richard Howarth, co-manager of the Absolute Insight UK Equity Market Neutral fund has been hedging long positions with the likes of trading technology company Fidessa.
'Cutbacks at their banking customer base make for a difficult trading backdrop,' Howarth says.Howarth is a Citywire AA-rated manager and part of the Citywire Selection list of top managers.
Over three years his fund has returned 9.01% compared to a 0.13% return from LIBOR USD 3 months.
Howarth focuses on shorting companies whose profit margins are likely to be squeezed, alongside earnings risk and those with weakened end markets.
Sectors he is shorting include oil companies with unimpressive growth prospects, and he has also been playing the weakened construction sector by shorting Balfour Beatty.
The stock price has fallen significantly since it hit a three-year high of 357p in February 2011, and while there has been a recovery in price, Howarth expects the stock to continue to trade low. 'We judge any recovery will be late cycle,' he says.
Commodity production companies have also made good shorts for some managers. George Cheveley, manager of the Investec Enhanced Natural Resources fund, has had shorts on Anglo American and Lonmin Mineral Resources, both mining companies with operations in South Africa where labour unrest has disrupted production.
'With problems in South Africa they have lost a lot of production and don't have a healthy balance sheet,' he says of Lonmin.
'The Anglo American short has worked reasonably well. They have obviously had problems in South Africa and their coal business has suffered in Australia. Even though they are a diversified company, they have underperformed the market and come off slightly this year.'
Cartesian's Kelly has prospered from a soft commodity play, in the form of New British Palm Oil. Bad weather meant unexpectedly poor harvests for the palm oil grower, while the cost of production in Papa New Guinea became crippling as the local currency soared in value.
'Clearly the employees are paid in local currency, and what happened this year was that the kina was the strongest currency in the world over the last 12 months,' he says. 'Something out of their control but it meant that they are selling a product in dollars, but their costs are rapidly appreciating.'
Specialist healthcare has been a strong sector for Legal & General's UK Absolute fund co-managers Robert Churchlow, Guy Rushton and Graham Taylor this year.
The trio say one of their best long plays has been a position in specialist drug company Vectura, which develops inhalable therapies for people with respiratory problems.
Shares were oversold because of delays in regulatory approval for one of their main drugs. They bought in earlier this year when the shares were trading little above cash plus the value of their existing stream, which essentially meant the market was disregarding Vectura's upcoming drug releases.
'No value was being attributed to its pipeline of late stage drugs,' they say. 'We reasoned that the problems were merely short-term delays and not fundamental issues and subsequent positive news on its drug pipeline has seen the shares rally. We believe there is plenty more to come and it remains a core holding.'
The L&G managers have also found success from going long 'misunderstood' high street retailer Sports Direct. Shares were cheap in the wake of its initial public offering (IPO) but the L&G team maintains Sports Direct is the market leader in sports retail, and is gearing up for expansion both at home and overseas.
'The market remained focused on the disappointing IPO and concerns over Mike Ashley, the flamboyant founder and chairman,' they add.
'We took a different view, recognising it as the market leader in sports retail with a rapidly growing online offering, pricing advantage versus competition resulting in strong market share gains and opportunities for international expansion.
'Since purchase, the shares have increased significantly and have partially discounted many of these factors. We believe there is more upside and while some profits have been taken it remains a core position.'
Niche technology firms have also been doing well, and Insight manager Richard Howarth said he made an 104% return from going long on electronics manufacturer Pace.
The company makes set-top boxes for cable TV operators. In May, Howarth, believing a new director-level appointment would help set the business straight, established a position in his Absolute Insight UK Equity Market Neutral fund at 83p.
'In March, Roddy Murray arrived as finance director, with a strong track record from his previous role at BSS. We backed the turnaround story and remain shareholders,' he says, adding the stock is now trading at around 169p.
He points to Ophir Energy as another successful long. The gas exploration company has interesting prospects in East Africa, and he bought the position in January priced at 299p.
'We bought ahead of a 2012 drilling programme that yielded 100% success and increased their discovered resource threefold. We hedged the position with a mixture of oil-focused stocks with less attractive growth prospects,' he explains.
Howarth closed the trade in September when shares were priced at 600p.
Although some parts of the construction industry have yet to see a consistent turnaround in fortunes since the credit crisis set in, Howarth has made a 50% return going long US construction firm Keller.
He began building the position during the second quarter at between 360-400p and has since seen the share price rise to 560p.
'Keller is often thought of as the first spade in the ground since they prepare the foundations and ground work for projects,' he explains.
'US construction is in recovery, as illustrated by an improvement in new housing starts from 647,000 to 872,000. This has yet to be reflected in forecast profits,' he adds, saying he hedged the trade with Balfour Beatty.
For Kelly, one of the best long positions of the last year has been ITV, which has done well from revamping its TV shows. 'We wouldn't normally rate management teams highly enough to talk about good management, but this particular team, led by Archie Norman, is outstanding and got involved in the business at a time when terrestrial broadcasting is dwindling,' he says.
Kelly says concerns over falling viewing figures are overdone, and blockbuster shows such as Downton Abbey have also boosted ITV's profile. 'Although things like X Factor are in decline, it's not coming through in viewing figures, which are still huge,' he adds.
He has also done exceedingly well out of recently listed company Snoozebox, which he bought on IPO and now has a market capitalisation of £30 million.
Snoozebox takes shipping cartons and converts them into hotel rooms with air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The company picked up business during the Olympics and the Queen's Jubilee in places where there is a shortage of hotel space.
'Their management are a mix of hotel staff and ex-army people. They have a fabulous combination of people who can prepare those sites… It is exactly what the stock market should be there to support because they need capital to build out those units. They cost money upfront but once they are built, they become very cash generative,' Kelly says.

An affidavit signed by Jane Spratt McColl says the York County museum foundations plans for using the nearly 400 acres of land in Fort Mill she donated in 1998 are consistent with my familys original intent.
Use of the land along the Catawba River near I-77 and Sutton Road has been the center of a dispute between the foundation, York County Council, and the commission that oversees York Countys museums.
Last month, the York County Council sued the foundation after the foundation changed its mission from supporting York County museums exclusively to supporting other groups in South Carolina.
The county wants a judge to rule that the McColl land and any money raised by the foundation can only be used for York County museum purposes.
McColls affidavit was filed by the foundation in response to the lawsuit.
The affidavit states that McColl gave the land to the foundation to use at its discretion in support of the cultural, historical and environmental resources of York County.
McColl, a Charlotte resident, and her family gave the land to the foundation as an outright gift, according to her affidavit, not a gift to York County or its museum commission.
In her affidavit, McColl states that part of the land may be placed in conservation and ... some of the land may be sold to fund initiatives that enhance cultural, historical and environmental resources of the York County community, however the foundations leadership determines.
McColl could not be reached by The Herald on Monday.
About 60 acres of the land has been sold for development. The foundation and York County officials have said about 60 acres of the remaining land will be set aside for a museum.
York County filed its suit against the foundation on June 28, claiming that the foundation refused to release information about donated money and land and violated its own bylaws by formally changing its mission last year.
McColls affidavit filed July 9 was signed more than one month before York County sued the foundation.
County and foundation officials have argued publicly for years.
About nine months ago, the commission that oversees York County museums voted 5-2 to request that the York County Council take immediate action to obtain the title to the donated land after a letter written to McColl in 1998 was found in museum files.
Museum Executive Director Carey Tilley found the letter, written by then-museum director Van Shields, asking McColl to designate her land gift to the foundation on behalf of York County, which would eventually hold title to the land.
A May 1, 2012, change to the foundations mission statement prompted York Countys lawsuit and its request for court intervention.
The mission statement change filed with the S.C. Secretary of State indicates that the foundation intends to use its fundraising activities to support other groups or organizations in South Carolina. Before, the foundation only supported York Countys museums.
York Countys lawsuit states that the foundation cant, according to its bylaws, change its mission except in circumstances beyond its control, which was not the case with the 2012 change, the county alleges.
County officials were told of the mission statement change on March 8 of this year, when the foundation sent a letter to its supporters with an update on its mission change and the McColl property.
Jim Sheedy, attorney for the foundation, did not comment on the affidavit but provided The Herald with a copy of the document.
York County attorney Michael Kendree was out of town on Monday and could not be reached.
Columbia lawyer Brian Autry is listed on York Countys lawsuit as its legal counsel. He did not return a phone call from The Herald on Monday.
Foundation Chairman Bill Easley told The Herald by email on Monday that he could not comment on upcoming legal proceedings or how a judge may view McColls affidavit.
The foundations primary role, he said, is to manage assets in a way consistent with our donors wishes and all actions taken by the foundation have been in the spirit of fulfilling donors wishes.
The affidavit, Easley said, is a reaffirmation of McColls trust in the foundation to make decisions regarding the donated land.

Spotlight: Amitabh Bachchan
Big B makes his fiction show debut with 'Yudh'
It was on February 15, 1969, that "a tall, lean guy with intense eyes" walked the stairs of KA Abbas's office to sign his first movie, 'Saat Hindustani'.
"Struggles and uncertainties, successes and disappointments, accusations and controversies, ill health and months in hospital, all such a vivid kaleidoscope of moments, events, images simply unbelievable and unimaginable," blogs Amitabh. How true! Bachchan's life has had the quality of being, at once, a biography and a fairytale!
Even as Amitabh Bachchan makes his fiction show debut with 'Yudh', we present some rare facts from the glorious career of the megastar who still remains the tallest peak in Indian Cinema.

How is DNA replication coordinated with other cell cycle events? (Diego Gonzalez)
We expect that many mechanisms will be involved in the coordination of cell cycle events during the C. crescentus cell cycle. One of these may involve the essential CcrM DNA methyltransferase that changes the methylation state of the chromosome as a function of the cell cycle. We wish to understand why CcrM is essential for cell cycle progression and cell viability, and how DNA methylation regulates the transcription of diverse genes in C. crescentus.
How is the cell cycle influenced by metabolic cues and stresses? (Katharina Eich and Diego Gonzalez)
C. crescentus has extra-ordinary capacities to survive in nutrient-limited environments. We are characterizing several regulatory pathways adjusting the development of C. crescentus in response to such stresses or to metabolic changes.

You can configure a model running on the target hardware to detect and notify you of when task overrun occurs.
Standard scheduling works well when a processor is moderately loaded but may fail if the processor becomes overloaded. When a task is required to perform extra processing and takes longer than normal to execute, it may be scheduled to execute before a previous instance of the same task has completed. The result is a task overrun.
To enable overrun detection:
In your model, click Tools, Run on Target Hardware and Options.
In the Run on Target Hardware pane that opens, select the Enable overrun detection check box.
Click OK.
When a task overrun occurs, the LCD on the NXT brick displays an "Overrun!" error message until you stop the model.
To fix an overrun condition:
Simplify the model.
Increase the sample times for the model and the blocks in it. For example, change the Sample time parameter in all of your data sources, such as the sensor blocks, from 0.1 to 0.2.

Donald Driver - #80 - WR
|6' 0"/ 194 lbs.
|Houston, TX
|Alcorn State
|Years played
|1999, 7th round, 7th pick by Packers
Green Bay passing game too much for 49ers
Greg Jennings caught six passes for 122 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Packers (8-4), who picked up a critical victory as they make a push for the playoffs in the final month of the season.
Packers' receivers must fill Driver's seat
Each Wednesday throughout the season, we identify one Packers player, coach or area that is most under the microscope. This week, the Packers' depleted receiving corps is the choice.
Driver says he will miss Packers-Cowboys game
Packers veteran WR Donald Driver told Bill Michaels of 620 AM in Milwaukee Tuesday that he will miss Green Bay's game this Sunday evening against the Cowboys.

Injuries shorten Green Bay's practice
An injury to a Pro Bowl linebacker and the emergence of a potential rookie starter on the offensive line are the story lines generating the most buzz in Green Bay.
Packers' Driver signs two-year extension
Packers WR Donald Driver signed a two-year contract extension Friday, which will keep him in Green Bay through 2012, when he'll be 38. Financial terms of the deal weren't immediately available.
‹‹ previous 1 2 3 next ››
Driver is retiring, with a formal announcement planned next week for the Green Bay Packers all-time leading receiver.||||||| Driver finishes as the Packers all-time leader in yards receiving (10,137 yards) and catches (743), and is third behind Don Hutson and Sterling Sharpe with 61 touchdown receptions. He had seven 1,000-yard seasons, also a Packers record for a receiver.
Driver is active for Green Bay's playoff game against San Francisco.||||||| The veteran wide receiver was a healthy scratch last week against Minnesota.
The Green Bay Packers' all-time leading receiver Donald Driver is set to join the cast of the ABC show "Dancing With the Stars."||||||| The four-time Pro Bowl receiver will be part of a celebrity lineup that includes actor Jack Wagner, actress Melissa Gilbert, tennis legend Martina Navratilova and Motown great Gladys Knight. The new cast and their professional dance partners were revealed on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday. Season 14 of "Dancing With the Stars" begins Monday, March 19.
Driver has a year left on his contract and has been a vital part of the Packers offense over his 13-year career. He is the franchise's all-time leader in catches and yards receiving. If it was up to him, he'd stay.||||||| But Driver will turn 37 next month. And given the Packers' youth-first philosophy, Driver knows there's no guarantee the team will bring him back. "I don't make any decisions," Driver said. "This is a business, and if they decide to go a different route with the young players, then I've got to go do what I want to do."
Driver had three catches for 25 yards and one score Sunday in a 24-3 win over the winless Rams.||||||| Driver is fifth on the team with two TD catches and the Packers have better talent at his position, making his fantasy output murky at best.

60 Minutes Cherry Picks Book To Make Congressional Insider Trading Mostly a GOP Scandal
When CBS's Steve Kroft recently asked House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) some penetrating questions about stock purchases she and her husband made, the internet was abuzz with rumors about an upcoming 60 Minutes installment about the wealthy couple that have been known to use her political interest for their mutual benefit.
Unfortunately, this Sunday's 60 Minutes piece about Congressional insider trading cherry picked from author Peter Schweizer's soon to be released book "Throw Them All Out" to make it look like this is largely a Republican scandal (video follows with commentary):
After speaking with the Hoover Institution's Schweizer about his research, Kroft cited acts of legal but potentially corrupt financial dealings by Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.), House Speaker John Boehner (R-Oh.), former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), former Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), and Pelosi.
As such, four of the five lawmakers named were Republicans certainly giving viewers the impression this is largely a GOP scandal.
Yet a source that has seen an advanced copy of Schweizer's book says that 60 to 70 percent of the offenders named are Democrats.
According to Newsweek's Peter J. Boyer, one of them is Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.):
While examining trades made around the time of the 2003 Medicare overhaul, Schweizer experienced what he calls his "Holy crap!" moment. The legislation, which created a new prescription-drug entitlement, promised to be a huge boon to the pharmaceutical industry—and to savvy investors in the Capitol. Among those with special insight on the issue was Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the health subcommittee of the Senate's powerful Finance Committee. Kerry is one of the wealthiest members of the Senate and heavily invested in the stock market. As the final version of the drug program neared approval—one that didn't include limits on the price of drugs—brokers for Kerry and his wife were busy trading in Big Pharma. Schweizer found that they completed 111 stock transactions of pharmaceutical companies in 2003, 103 of which were buys.
"They were all great picks," Schweizer notes. The Kerrys' capital gains on the transactions were at least $500,000, and as high as $2 million (such information is necessarily imprecise, as the disclosure rules allow members to report their gains in wide ranges). It was instructive to Schweizer that Kerry didn't try to shape legislation to benefit his portfolio; the apparent key to success was the shaping of trades that anticipated the effect of government policy. [...]
The Kerry trustees' impeccable timing in drug company trades was evident again in 2007, when the federal government was weighing whether to discontinue Medicare reimbursement for certain anemia drugs used by cancer patients. When the government announced that it would limit reimbursements, shares in Amgen, one of the drugmakers at issue, dropped 15 percent. Kerry's wife happened to be an Amgen stockholder but avoided losses; her shares, valued at between $500,000 and $1 million, were unloaded more than a week before the government's announcement.
Kroft and 60 Minutes didn't mention a word of this. Nor did they mention potentially more serious corruption identified in Schweizer's book as he wrote at Newsweek Saturday:
[A]n examination of grants and guaranteed loans offered by just one stimulus program run by the Department of Energy, for alternative-energy projects, is stunning. The so-called 1705 Loan Guarantee Program and the 1603 Grant Program channeled billions of dollars to all sorts of energy companies. The grants were earmarked for alternative-fuel and green-power projects, so it would not be a surprise to learn that those industries were led by liberals. Furthermore, these were highly competitive grant and loan programs—not usually a hallmark of cronyism. Often fewer than 10 percent of applicants were deemed worthy.
Nevertheless, a large proportion of the winners were companies with Obama-campaign connections. Indeed, at least 10 members of Obama's finance committee and more than a dozen of his campaign bundlers were big winners in getting your money. At the same time, several politicians who supported Obama managed to strike gold by launching alternative-energy companies and obtaining grants. How much did they get? According to the Department of Energy's own numbers ... a lot. In the 1705 government-backed-loan program, for example, $16.4 billion of the $20.5 billion in loans granted as of Sept. 15 went to companies either run by or primarily owned by Obama financial backers—individuals who were bundlers, members of Obama's National Finance Committee, or large donors to the Democratic Party. The grant and guaranteed-loan recipients were early backers of Obama before he ran for president, people who continued to give to his campaigns and exclusively to the Democratic Party in the years leading up to 2008. Their political largesse is probably the best investment they ever made in alternative energy. It brought them returns many times over.
Kroft and 60 Minutes didn't mention one word of this Sunday despite it being prominently featured in Schweizer's book.
Also ignored were other offenders exposed by Schweizer such as Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mt.), Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).
I guess those names weren't "household" enough for 60 Minutes to bother exposing.
To be sure, I am by no means suggesting this is exclusively a Democrat scandal. Schweizer's book clearly identifies this is a bipartisan problem.
However, by featuring four out of five offenders as Republicans Sunday, 60 Minutes was clearly trying to imply otherwise as it dishonestly protected lawmakers more closely aligned with its political leaning.

it,and as NewsBusters reported, it was a complete bash of Republicans. The "little" episode of madame speaker was a joke. Obviously, the book will have to be read to get the truth.......if it is the truth. CBS advertized all during the football game that this show would make people dislike congress more and it was nothing but so-called facts involving Republicans. Wonder why they didn't wait till next Nov. right before the election to air it??

Obviously the Kroft question to Pelosi was a head fake, to get people to watch.
Typical liberal tactic: when a Democrat gets caught in scandal, "both sides" do it. And they'll prove it by naming the one Democrat and 6 Republicans.

Even before the Dan Rather forgery incident, I had ceased watching that show. Since that incident, they should have taken it off the air and gotten rid of the entire crew. Anyone watching 60 Minutes to find the truth on any topic is wasting their time.
I finally saw some coverage of the OWS folks on our CBS affiliate and can understand why some people don't have a true understanding of what a farce it is. Network news shows are merely the propaganda wing of the DNC.

I realize you want to trust 60 minutes, but you are nuts to do so.
Republicans should deal with CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN as the enemy because they are the enemy. They are the enemy of this Country.
Kroft and Pelly should be paraded around in orange jump suits, then given life in prison with the drug addict criminals they created and defended.

...that such egregious bias is finally being noted by the viewing public and it is beginning to take a toll on ratings. Actually, I think that has been the case for some time, if you look at the difference between Fox's huge numbers and the rest of the MSM's weak showing. But I think the MSM is becoming even more discredited every day and its attempt to counter its losses by being even more biased will merely accelerate the trend.

No mention of Harry Reid and his sons and their land deals in Nevada. No mention of Conyers and his corrupt writing of the tax code and not even following it. I could go on and on naming crooked democrats. Nancy Pelosi was the only corrupt and crooked democrat Steve Croft could find???. Imagine that. According to CBS it is the republicans who are the most corrupt.
That is the first time in years I have even watched anything on CBS and it will be the last time for a long time. Thanks CBS you just proved again how biased you are and there is nothing missed by writing your network off. I have deleted CBS from my cable lineup. Now I cannot even land on your channel by accident.

a previous post (a post you did not respond to), a person such as yourself, who is capable of setting fire to a police station using an M-79 grenade launcher, is no one to disagree with about anything, especially his pickiness.
I just hope that you won't retaliate against any of the other posters here at NewsBusters who disagree with you, and who don't realize the terror and destruction that you are capable. ♥♥ :-) ♥♥
Now if you will allow me to answer your previous question without getting angry and upset at me, I consider Bret Baier's Special Report show to be the most comprehensive and fair news program on television. As an avid fan of Bret Baier (as well as Rush), I am impressed with the amount of news, information and commentary Bret packs into a one hour show.
However, if you disagree with my opinion of Bret Baier and his Special Report news show, I will retract what I wrote immediately. I certainly don't want to upset you with my comments.
regards, RF
p.s. You questioned whether Bret Baier was a "straight news" guy. Bret Baier is married to a very attractive woman, and is definitely a "straight news" guy. Perhaps you are confusing Bret Baier with Shepard Smith's leftist news show.
p.s.s Not that there's anything wrong with that

I just now read your earlier post for the first time. [Thanks for linking it. That was fun. Then and now.] True, I'm in a bit of an ornery mood because all the bickering on the other thread over the burning question: "Is Tom Friedman Really A Radical Leftist" caused me to miss my Monday night Martial Arts and Gator Wrestling practice.
Yes, I'm plenty tough. And the girls really dig it. But I would never, ever cause you any harm. At least not until after you've answered a couple of final questions I have about FireFox--which will be the subject of a forthcoming PM.
Later, buddy...
