Hercog Reaches QFs, Top Quartet All Gone
Published September 23, 2011 12:00
SEOUL, South Korea - The Top 2 seeds departed in the early rounds and on Friday a complete sweep of the Top 4 seeds was completed, as Julia Goerges and Dominika Cibulkova were both bundled out of the Hansol Korea Open.
Cibulkova, the No.4 seed, was the first to go, racing out to a 3-1 lead but losing 11 of the next 12 games to lose to No.5 seed Polona Hercog, 63 61. Hercog finished the match fiercely, winning the last 10 points to close it out.
Hercog had won only three games in their only prior meeting at Wimbledon earlier this year. "It was really tough to play her on grass. She moves so fast and the ball bounces so low, so she is very dangerous," Hercog said. "She's one of the best movers in women's tennis. It wasn't easy to finish the points. I hit with more topspin so it bounced higher on her and mix up my shots."
Goerges, the No.3 seed, was the next to go, falling to No.6 seed María José Martínez Sánchez, 76(6) 61. Goerges was up a break twice in the first set - including serving for it at 6-5 - and saved three set points in the tie-break, but the Spanish veteran closed it out and rolled through the second set.
Next up for Martínez Sánchez will be Klara Zakopalova, a 62 46 61 winner over Vania King, while Hercog will face Galina Voskoboeva, a 62 63 winner over Vera Dushevina. King had taken out No.2 seed Marion Bartoli earlier in the week, while Dushevina had upset No.1 seed Francesca Schiavone.
Voskoboeva and Dushevina are playing doubles together this week.
"I'm friends with Vera and we play doubles together, but we had to forget about it when we went on the court," the 26-year-old Voskoboeva said. "Vera had a 4-1 record against me but the last match we played was pretty close, we went to three sets. I just focused on each ball and didn't think about it."
The forehand was particularly strong from Voskoboeva. "Yes, my forehand is definitely my best shot," the Russian-born Kazakh said. "It's a very good shot naturally and I'm also working on it very hard. I can say it's my weapon."
Both semifinals take place Saturday. Zakopalova leads Martínez Sánchez in their head-to-head, 2-0, while the other semifinal is a first-time meeting.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Minnesota Vikings are pushing back against Gov. Mark Dayton after he criticized the team for considering extra fees on season ticket holders to help pay the team's share of building a new football stadium.
The team's statement released Tuesday afternoon comes a few hours after Dayton sent a letter to owners Zygi and Mark Wilf stating his opposition to "personal seat licenses." Dayton says in his letter that what he has called a "People's Stadium" would become a "Rich People's Stadium."
But the Vikings point out seat licenses are authorized under the bill passed by the Legislature and signed by Dayton. The team calls such licenses "a key component of the stadium agreement."
Other NFL franchises and sports teams have used seat licenses to help pay for new stadiums.

Voices: Food Safety
The Supreme Court's Lesson on Labeling
In Pom Wonderful v. Coca-Cola, the court encourages 'policing' of labels by competitors.
The U.S. Supreme Court's unanimous ruling on June 12 in favor of Pom Wonderful has important implications for food processors. Until now, compliance with FDA labeling regulations generally meant a product was immune from a claim that its labeling is deceptive or misleading with respect to those aspects of the label sanctioned by FDA regulations.
This "safe harbor" has been decisively removed by the Supreme Court's ruling, which held that a plaintiff, such as Pom, may bring false advertising and unfair competition claims under federal law with respect to such statements. As a result, many food processors will need to rethink their marketing and labeling practices.
The case originated in 2008 when Pom alleged that Coca-Cola was misleading consumers about its Minute Maid "Pomegranate Blueberry" juice (with "Flavored Blend of 5 Juices" in smaller font below). Pom claimed the label was misleading because, despite the name, the product contains approximately 99 percent apple and grape juice with very little of the more expensive pomegranate and blueberry juices.
Pom sells 100 percent pomegranate juice as well juice blends containing significant amounts of pomegranate juice. From Pom's perspective, Coca-Cola was unfairly competing by selling a non-comparable product as "Pomegranate Blueberry" juice and undercutting Pom's sales. Pom's lawsuit included claims under federal statute governing false advertising and unfair competition (the Lanham Act).
Coca-Cola responded by noting that the images on its product correctly identified the five fruits in the juice blend and that the name – "Pomegranate Blueberry-flavored blend of 5 juices" – informed consumers as much while describing that the blend tastes like pomegranate and blueberry. Most significantly, Coca-Cola said the name of the product fully complied with FDA juice-naming regulations permitting a beverage to be named after a non-predominant juice in such circumstances.
The district court and appeals court accepted Coca-Cola's arguments and rejected Pom's Lanham Act claims because doing otherwise would "disturb" the "comprehensive food and beverage labeling regulations under the FDCA [federal Food Drug & Cosmetic Act] which specifically considered the naming of such juices."
But the Supreme Court unanimously sided with Pom. Rather than viewing the Lanham Act and the FDCA as conflicting, the court held that they are "complementary." "Although both statutes touch on food and beverage labeling, the Lanham Act protects commercial interests against unfair competition, while the FDCA protects public health and safety." Moreover, the FDCA's enforcement "is largely committed to the FDA" whereas the Lanham Act empowers "private parties to sue competitors to protect their interests on a case-by-case basis."
The Court then set forth the cornerstone of its ruling:
"Unlike other types of labels regulated by the FDA, such as drug labels …, it would appear the FDA does not preapprove food and beverage labels under its regulations and instead relies on enforcement actions, warning letters, and other measures. …. Because the FDA acknowledges that it does not necessarily pursue enforcement measures regarding all objectionable labels … if Lanham Act claims were to be precluded then commercial interests -- and indirectly the public at large -- could be left with less effective protection in the food and beverage labeling realm than in many other, less regulated industries."
In other words, the court saw no reason why aspects of a food label should be free from "policing" by competitors simply because those aspects are subject to FDA regulations. Indeed, the court found that even if an aspect of a label is specifically required or authorized by the FDCA or FDA regulations, it may be subject to a Lanham Act claim because the FDCA and its regulations are not a "ceiling on the regulation of food and beverage labeling."
For food companies, the ruling obviously opens the door to lawsuits by competitors alleging that aspects of a label regulated by the FDA are false and misleading. The biggest impact pertains to products similar to the Minute Maid juice blend that include a name or front-of-package claim that may comply with FDA regulations but help it compete against more expensive products.
In such circumstances, companies selling the more expensive products have a motive to bring suit if they have an argument as to why this competition is "unfair." For example, a company selling "strawberry" fruit snacks primarily made from strawberries might take offense to cheaper "strawberry" fruit snacks made with less expensive fruit and other ingredients.
Accordingly, food companies should immediately re-evaluate their labeling practices to assess whether any product might be susceptible to a competitor's claim that a label is false or misleading based, in whole or in part, on aspects of the label regulated by the FDA. Although most food processors do an excellent job of complying with FDA labeling requirements, they sometimes fail to fully assess the market risks of combining those approved statements with other marketing statements and imagery on the product.
In this case, the Minute Maid product included the statement "Nourish Your Brain" along with large images of a pomegranate and blueberries. These aspects increased the risk that Pom would view this label, in combination with the name "Pomegranate Blueberry," as deceptive to consumers. Simply put, food labels should be reviewed as a whole and with knowledge that mere compliance with FDA regulations does not provide any insurance against competitor lawsuits.

Shifting Seasons
Have you noticed the change in the air? The days are becoming shorter, the nights are growing longer, and the air is crisp and chilly. Autumn is upon us!
As the seasons change, so do many plants and animals. Some of these changes are obvious: a honking flock of geese migrating south for winter might catch our attention, or the leaves on a deciduous tree will change from green, to gold, to red, to gone. However, some changes are much more subtle, and are well worth keeping an eye out for. There are many ways to explore the changing seasons, both at the Academy of Sciences and at home. With your family (and perhaps a jacket!), try watching autumn in some new ways.
Watch the Sunset at Home
We know the days are getting shorter, but by how much? Step outside with your family and watch the sunset while or peek through the window and write down your observations. Using a watch, keep track of how much earlier the sun is setting each day. If you have a thermometer handy, you can also record how the temperature is changing. Compare your answers by clicking on California and selecting your city, and see how close your observations are.
How Will our Living Roof Change?
Our Living Roof is a great place to watch the seasons change. If you have visited during the spring or summer, you might immediately notice a difference. Make predictions about how this roof will change as we get closer to winter. Which species will tolerate the cold, wet winter? Which ones will fade away until spring? Ask a docent stationed on the roof or visit the Naturalist Center to learn more about the species that live there.

7 Dividend Stocks Shoveling Cash to Shareholders
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- With market volatility swinging higher this week, it pays to get some protection for your portfolio -- literally.
I'm talking about dividends, the cash payouts that many firms make to shareholders on a quarterly basis. If you've been ignoring dividends for your portfolio, you shouldn't. With corporate cash and investor anxiety both at all time highs, it makes sense to add some income to your portfolio; not only are dividend-payers typically more defensive stocks, their payouts reduce the overall volatility of your holdings.
Today, we'll take a look at firms that have been ratcheting their payouts higher.
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to SoarThe trickle of dividend-payers is continuing in December. All told, 17 stocks with a market cap of over $1 billion announced dividend increases in the last week. That's the same number of stocks as we saw in the previous week -- a good sign that dividend hikes aren't completely dropping off. Historically, dividend stocks have been a good bet. Over the last 36 years, dividend stocks have outperformed the rest of the S&P 500 by 2.5% annually, and they outperformed nonpayers by nearly 8% every year, all while paying out cash to their shareholders, according to data compiled by Ned Davis Research. The numbers are even more compelling when looking at companies that consistently increase their payouts. That's why we pay close attention to the firms that are shoveling more corporate cash to shareholders each week. With that, here's a look at seven of the stocks that hiked payouts in the last week.

by Renee Bolden, McDowell native and Hollow participant
Many McDowell County residents were in attendance to last week's County Commission meeting, which was held in the courthouse annex courtroom, concerning a proposed 9% tax increase. This courtroom is the site of official court trials. It is now, however, the site of an unofficial one as well that consists of priorities and will. Commissioners Ray Bailey, Harold McBride, and Gordon Lambert appeared to be a three-judge panel seated at the front of the room and McDowell County residents crowded into the jury seats, the plaintiff and defendant tables, the observers seats, and yet, many were left standing.
Tensions were eased somewhat when county commission president, Gordon Lambert, stated, "I appreciate all of you being here. I hate that the wrong information went out in the paper and on TV that there was going to be an increase, proposed increase of 9%. What was looked at was .09%, not even 1%. …Since we see the turnout here today there won't be any rate increase." Immediately, there were cheers and clapping.
Following this statement, residents took the opportunity to question the commissioners on many different topics. The main issue of the day, however, was that of Sheriff Martin West's budget. Sheriff West announced that his department was in much need of basic equipment: uniforms, guns, ammunition, protective gear, and vehicles. West brought to the commissioners' attention a spending reduction and cost-savings plan that had been drawn up by County Manager Clif Moore. West stated, concerning the plan, "He has about 12 things that he said would save the county money and that we wouldn't be to this position today, that we wouldn't even be talking about raising taxes in a depressed county, such as ours." Lambert responded that they had not adopted Moore's proposal.
Sheriff West and residents mentioned the need for the county to get their priorities in order. In order to protect and serve the county, the sheriff's department needs to be properly equipped and accordingly compensated. West and his deputies are battling the biggest enemy known to the county: drugs. If the county can keep more people off drugs, there will be more able-bodied workers within the county. This, in turn, will assist with county financials as they will be paying taxes within the county.
Lambert recognized the work of the Sheriff by stating, "I think the Sheriff has been doing a great job." This statement was followed with applause and proclamations of, "Yes, he is!" by the crowd. Sheriff West addressed the commissioners, stating, "We're asking y'all to back us, back the county, and do what's right." Debbie King concluded, "We should have people like this at every meeting, … We need to keep coming after them, not after them to be mean, but to speak up and to hang in there together."
The constituents of McDowell County expect the commissioners to work with them to better the county and to support the Sheriff. During this trial, it was clear that the people desire to be heard. McDowell County is constantly battling poverty, health issues, dental problems, educational needs, transportation difficulties, teenage pregnancy, and drug addiction. We have faith that the commissioners will work with the people to overcome these stumbling blocks. This is a trial of will to overcome which seems to be growing stronger.
The jury members of this trial will deliberate for some time as we anxiously await what the future holds for McDowell County.

By Lisa King
"On the day I visited, the documentary makers were holding a story telling seminar to better enable the community participants to reflect on their lives in a way that would convey their experiences in McDowell County through its many ups and downs.
Present was a wonderful mix of all ethnicities, including Irish, Italian, Indian, German, and African American that reflected the impressive array of people that came to McDowell County in the past seeking their fortunes.
From ages 13 to 80, the participants all gathered in hopes of learning how they could convey their pride in their community and how to tell that in a format that would be available for all to enjoy.
The more I talked to the people the more I realized they were all community minded, each holding at least one position in their community, if not more, that was directly responsible for insuring and bettering the welfare of the rest of the community.
Participants were from law enforcement, health care, teaching, county government, and the local food bank, just to name a few. More importantly, they shared a real enthusiasm for the project that was obvious in their words and actions.
As work on "Hollow" continues, I am left with this thought; they say one person can change the world. If this is true, we definitely have not heard the last of McDowell County West Virginia, because I recently met a room full of earth shakers there."

The officer noticed Leo and Claire Baeb's van outside a Starbucks on Main Street, particularly a woman standing outside of the van in the rain Wednesday night. He stopped to check on them and found out who they were. The couple is o-k and back with their family.

Un Coleoptere...Chapter 3Chapter 3! OH boy 8D I am just so into this story! I hope you guys are liking it so far x3 It's been too long since I've written fanfiction. Also, I am going to try to proofread better. Sorry if I am the Typo Queen XD I suck----------------------------------- Lydia took this Stranger by the hand and led him back to her house. He looked up and noticed the size of her house. It was pretty big. Perfect for hiding!...But wait! He was shaken out of his thoughts. Was he in The Living Colony? If that were true, no wonder everyone was so scared of him! That also meant that if this girl's parents saw him, all they'd have to do is make one call and its back to the slammer! He ripped his hand out of her grip, shocking her a little bit."Huh?" She blinked and then stared at him."I can't go in theeere " Beetlejuice laughed nervously, inching backwards."And exactly why not?" Lydia asked with her hands on her hips.Beetlejuice looked around, trying to c
Un Coleoptere...Chapter 8Chapter 8 is here! Yaaaaay! I really hope you like it. It is finally getting somewhere x3 I never knew writing you favorite characters in an AU could be so fun XD Cuz I was never into AU's. So, thank you all who read and review and show you like what I do 8D-----------------------------They landed on the island and Beetlejuice set her down on solid ground. Lydia stared at her camera excitedly."Oh, Beetlejuice! I can't wait to get these pictures home so I can work on them!" She said happily.He smirked and folded his hands behind his head, just floating there with his legs crossed, "No better place to get freaky photos than the Central Neitherworld!""You said it!" Lydia agreed, walking around the spooky tree she had just taken a picture of. She stared up and saw a bird's nest with a mom and baby skeleton birds inside it. Lydia leaned against the tree and closed her eyes for a moment. All of a sudden, she could feel the tree vibrating. She opened her eyes with a "Huh?" She stood up s
Un Coleoptere...Chapter 1Never thought I'd ever write another Beetlejuice fic but this idea was just screaming at me!! XD Goes hand in hand with my Un Monstre A Paris obsession. So I hope you enjoy my little AU fic. Keep in mind, I am just taking some elements from UMAP, so this whole thing will have some originality to it.Enjoy! x3---------------------- It was a dark and stormy night at a castle in The Neitherworld. Not just any castle, mind you. It was the castle where the Prince of The Neitherworld lived. A gloomy, young looking boy named Vince. He was sitting on his throne; lying really. He was reading a book entitled 'Tragic Tragedies' Such sad stories he loved to read. Oddly enough, they kept him calm. All of a sudden, one of his servants broke through the huge double doors. For some strange reason, his underwear was over his head."Sire!" He yelled, read in the face with anger. Vince jumped up with a concerned f
Un Coleoptere...Chapter 2Onward to Chapter 2! The last one was a little short x333 Sorry about that! This one will be longer! Enjoy!-------------------------- The next day rapidly approached and for many, it was the most anticipated day of their entire afterlives. Ghouls were rejoicing everywhere. There would be no more Beetlejuice. The Prince made his way back down to the dungeon to collect his prisoner."Mr. Juice? It's time." He spoke as he walked down the hall but got no answer. Once he reached his cell, Vince was shocked to find out it had no occupant. He totally freaked out. Where in the Neitherworld could he have gone? His magic couldn't reach outside his cell, so he definitely couldn't have escaped that way. This was bad. The Prince took out his key and stuck it in the cell's keyhole. It clacked as he turned it and the door opened with a creaking sound. He walked inside and looked around. Nothing but an empty cell and a few smashed bugs."He
Un Coleoptere...Chapter 7Chapter 7 is here! Woo! This has been so much fun for me so far X3 Even if I'm not the best at it, writing is fun for me. Especially Beetlejuice fanfics. I have missed them muchly x3 Enjoy! This one should be good 8D----------------------------- They had been travelling for a good twenty minutes. Lydia never how relaxing a ride could be with her eyes closed. It was so calming. She oddly was finding Beetlejuice so comfortable. She snuggled her face into his back. He felt it and glanced back for a moment. It was nice but he began feeling weird again. He shook his head and focused on getting to the location once more."Are we almost there..?" She asked.He jumped a little, "Uh
Y-yeah!"Doomie made a VROOM sound but Beetlejuice finally wanted to stop so he tried slowing down the speed. Beetlejuice slammed on the brake and the Vespa had been moving so fast that the sudden stop dug it into the ground. Beetlejuice looked up and noticed he was halfway in a h
Un Coleoptere...Chapter 4Now, it's Chapter 4! XD I believe this is the first fanfic where I have just been on a roll with updates. Then again, it is also the first story where I story-webbed the beginning to the end. Usually I just wing it and see where it takes me XDDD This is a life lesson that I learned sooo late. I mean, I was taught about storywebs in what, 2nd or 3rd grade, and up till now I always thought they were a waste of time but no, they're actually helpful! Anywho, I'm going to shut up now and start writing XD------------------------------ A bit of time had passed and Beetlejuice and Lydia sat down on the couch in her living room. He proceeded to tell her a lot of things and she began to understand him. Beetlejuice told her so much; from what the Central Neitherworld was like to his love of bugs. There was so much more to tell. He hadn't been able to talk seriously with another person since
well, he couldn't remember! It was then that he began telling her all a
Un Coleoptere...Chapter 16Chapter 16 XD Man, this thing is getting long. Hope you gaiz don't mind. I am having too much fun with this. OwO Now, this one should have cuteness! Enjoy!----------------------------- And so, Beetlejuice and Lydia danced along with everyone else. Lydia had even playfully stolen his hat and he was just amused. Lydia could be so cute sometimes! Beetlejuice didn't even mind having that thought about her. Normally, things cute, cuddly, pretty, nice, sweet, any good adjective you could think of, he hated! But Lydia was all of these things and somehow, he didn't mind. She just gave him such a good feeling inside. He loved being with her. He was glad he was able to convince her to come out tonight. They were having the time of their lives (well, his afterlife, but you get it
) A few minutes later, Beetlejuice went off to get something to drink. Lydia laughed, thinking he probably went to get a refill of the drink he had earlie
Un Coleoptere...Chapter 20OMG! We're at Chapter 20! The plot thickens! Let's see what happens!------------------------ The morning and afternoon had passed quickly. Too quickly for Beetlejuice's taste. The time for Lydia's
Ugh, that word made Beetlejuice shudder, was rapidly approaching. She was busy getting ready and he was just stuck in the attic, kicking dust around, wondering why he even cared so much. He knew Lydia wouldn't let out his secret. But somehow, at some point, it hadn't been about that anymore. All he could think about was Vince taking Lydia's hand, putting his arms around her, charming her, flirting up a storm and, oh, this last thought, kissing her! His head spun around wildly and he screamed. He slammed a hand on either side of his face to stop his head from turning."Whoa!" His head popped off and he held it above his shoulders, "I'm really losing my head over this!"He reconnected his head and cracked his neck. Just then, he heard a sound
Un Coleoptere...Chapter 9Chapter 9! Woo! X3 Still going strong on this thing! Hope everyone is still liking it. Enjoy!--------------------- The two friends managed to return to Peaceful Pines in one piece. Lydia breathed a sigh in relief to that as she and Beetlejuice road into town on Doomie. It had gotten darker as they arrived. Street lights were just coming on."I feel like we'll be just in time for dinner!" Lydia said. She hadn't expected to be out so long but she definitely had fun! She couldn't believe all the new, freaky things she saw today. All this amazing stuff existed and she had no idea. The Central Neitherworld was beyond her wildest dreams and she loved it! They made memories that would last a lifetime, she thought, especially since she got some of it on camera.The Vespa came to a halt."We're here, Babes

Journey to ScamalotLydia Deetz awoke on cold fall mourning with a yawn.She slowly opened her heavy dark eyes and attempted to rub the sleep away. She had been having a happy dream with witches and werewolves and the cool breeze outside her blanket was not a welcoming visitor. Lydia grunted at the sun cascading in from her skeleton curtains and rolled over, snuggling into the pillow with a small grin. She just wanted a moment to
to the dream.RISEEEEE AAAANNNNNDDD SHIIINNNNEEEEEE, LYDSSSSSSS!!!!! a singsong voice yelled, followed by banging on glass
.so much for sleeping in.Lydia jumped up and yelped, her sheets got tangled between her legs and she tripped off her bed with a scream. Landing on her behind.Ow
Lydia rubbed her head and glanced down at her sheets, which still were wrapped around her thighs. They were now black and white and supported a face with smiling rotten teeth. It was her friend Beetlejuice.Sorry, for the wake up
Journey to scamalot pt. 2Wind blasted in Lydias face, her eyes were squeezed closed and mouth grinding her teeth. Her small pale hands had a death grip on beetlejuices coat. Her heart was pounding.They were going so fast, if she open her eyes, she was certain they would be pushed back all the way threw her skull. She just gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes, shaking slightly, and hanging onto beetlejuice for protection, after all they were running faster than the speed of light. She desperately waited for themselves to stop
she could barley breathe with all the madness!She could hear the wind whistle threw the air, along with beetlejuices familiar shriek. She tried to yell at him but all that came out was a scream of her own and a mouthful of windy cool air clogging her windpipe. She coughed and choked

her grip loosened on his coat, and her eyebrows raised faintly

This is the first chapter fic I intend to finish XD Enjoy!-------------------------- It had been a while and they finally decided to get some sleep. Tomorrow would be a big day for the both of them. Tomorrow was when Lydia was going shooting; Photos, that is. She also wanted to try Beetlejuice on the town. She hoped her disguise for him would be enough to fool everyone into thinking he was actually from The Living Colony. Lydia was confident, though. She would pass him off as Mr. Beetleman, her photography assistant. But for now, they needed to sleep. He liked the attic so much; she let him stay up there. Besides, it was a good place to hide him. Her parents never went up there anyways.Lydia yawned as she got ready for bed, "I'm sure everything will be okay

Woods wins at Torrey Pines for 8th timeThe Associated Press | January 29,2013AP Photo
Tiger Woods hits out of a bunker on the 10th hole during Mondays fourth round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in San Diego.SAN DIEGO Tiger Woods is a winner again at Torrey Pines, and the only question Monday was how long it would take him to finish.
Woods stretched his lead to eight shots in the Farmers Insurance Open before losing his focus and his patience during a painfully slow finish by the group ahead.
Despite dropping four shots over the last five holes, he still managed an even-par 72 for a four-shot victory on the course where he has won more than any other in his pro career.
He won the tournament for the seventh time, one behind the record held by Sam Snead, who won the Greater Greensboro Open eight times. It was the eighth time Woods won at Torrey Pines, which includes his playoff win in the 2008 U.S Open.
This one was never close.
Woods built a six-shot lead with 11 holes to play when the final round of the fog-delayed tournament was suspended Sunday by darkness. He returned Monday a late morning restart because CBS Sports wanted to show it in the afternoon on the East Coast and looked stronger than ever until the tournament dragged to a conclusion.
Having to wait on every tee and from every fairway or the rough, in his case Woods made bogey from the bunker on the 14th, hooked a tee shot on the 15th that went off the trees and into a patch of ice plant and led to double bogey, and then popped up his tee shot on the 17th on his way to another bogey.
All that affected was the score. It kept him from another big margin of victory, though the message was clear about his game long before that. One week after he missed the cut in Abu Dhabi, he ruled at Torrey Pines.
It was his 75th career win, seven short of the Sneads all-time tour record.
It got a little ugly toward the end, Woods said. I started losing patience a little bit with the slow play. I lost my concentration a little bit.
He rallied with a two-putt par on the 18th hole to win by four shots over defending champion Brandt Snedeker and Josh Teater, who had the best finish of his career.
Like so many of his big wins, the only drama was for second place.
Brad Fritsch, the rookie from Canada, birdied his last two holes for a 75. That put him into a tie for ninth, however, making him eligible for the Phoenix Open next week.
Fritsch had been entered in the Monday qualifier that he had to abandon when the Farmers Insurance Open lost Saturday to a fog delay.
Woods effectively won this tournament in the final two hours Sunday, when he stretched his lead to six shots with only 11 holes to play. Nick Watney made a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-5 ninth when play resumed to get within five shots, only to drop three shots on the next five holes.
Everyone else started too far behind, and Woods wasnt about to come back to them.
Even so, the red shirt seemed to put him on edge. It didnt help that as he settled over his tee shot on the par-5 ninth, he backed off when he heard a man behind the ropes take his picture.
Woods rarely hits the fairway after an encounter with a camera shutter, and this was no different it went so far right that it landed on the other side of a fence enclosing a corporate hospitality area.
Woods took his free drop, punched out below the trees into the fairway and then showed more irritation when his wedge nicked the flag after one hop and spun down the slope 30 feet away instead of stopping next to the hole.
He didnt show much reaction on perhaps his most memorable shot of the day with his legs near the edge of a bunker some 75 feet to the left of the 11th green, he blasted out to the top shelf and watched the ball take dead aim until it stopped a foot short.
He failed to save par from a bunker on the 14th, and he hooked his tee shot so badly on the 15th hole that it traveled only about 225 yards before it was gobbled up by the ice plant. He had to take a penalty drop and wound up making double bogey.
More than his 75th career win, it was a strong opening statement for what could be a fascinating 2013.
Before anyone projects a monster year for Woods based on one week especially when that week is at Torrey Pines remember that he just missed the cut last week in Abu Dhabi.
Woods said he wasnt playing much differently, and would have liked two more rounds in the Middle East. Instead, a two-shot penalty for a bad drop sent him home.
Still, in healthier and happier times he usually was sharp coming after a long layoff. Throw out the trip to the Arabian Gulf, and he is.
Was this a statement?
Woods was eight shots ahead with five holes to play when he stumbled his way to the finish line, perhaps from having to kill time waiting on the group ahead. Erik Compton, Steve Marino and Fritsch had an entire par 5 open ahead of them at the end of the round.
Still, Woods played a different game than everyone else at Torrey Pines.
I think he wanted to send a message, said Hunter Mahan, who shares a swing coach with Woods. I think deep down he did. You play some games to try to motivate yourself. Theres been so much talk about Rory (McIlroy). Rory is now with Nike. That would be my guess.
Mahan got a good look at Woods this week, playing in the group behind him on the front nine because Mahan was first off on the two-tee start.
He looked strong, Mahan said. He had great control of his swing. He was hitting some strong shots, different from any other player I saw out here.
Woods is not likely to return to golf until the Match Play Championship next month.MORE IN Wire SportsANN ARBOR, Mich. Full StorySteve Stricker never felt more alone in front of so many people.

BROOKFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio - As the outcome of Brookfield Schools' levy hangs in the balance, the state auditor is set to decide whether or not the district will be in fiscal emergency next week.
At Thursday's school board meeting, auditor representatives said the district is projected to have a $1,018,000 deficit at the end of this fiscal year June 30.
Superintendent Tim Saxton said it's most likely going to happen even though they already cut $686,000 in staff and other expenditures this year.
"But it hasn't been enough and we continue to get hit from the state and we're taking cuts that we really have no control over along with charter school operations that unfortunately continue to take tax dollars away from this district," said Brookfield Schools Superintendent Tim Saxton.
The levy would not be a factor in the decision. It could only change next year's forecast.
The unofficial results show the levy passed by three votes but Saxton says there are still seven provisional ballots and 10 absentee ballots in limbo.
The school won't know the outcome until the Trumbull County Board of Elections certifies the results May 28.

What happens online, stays online
Today I was approached by a paper, asking if they could quote me on a comment I made a few months ago on their site. At first I couldn't even remember my own quote :) Then it turns out, I had said it, I just couldn't remember it. Was just astounded... that my silly quote, out of many others, will be used for this project.
(The picture above is supposed to symbolise detectives and detective work, such as this guy finding me online. OK it's a long shot...)
So whilst watching
The Hangover
set in Vegas, it really hits home that what happens online, stays online.

Good signals for cell tower companies
Wall Street analysts are increasingly bullish on the cellular infrastructure industry. It's not too late for investors to dial in.
By Suzanne McGee
As long ago as the California Gold Rush, it became clear to some individuals looking to make money that providing the necessary tools and infrastructure was a safer bet than hunting for the nuggets of gold themselves.
That approach remains valid today when it comes to the growing North American addiction to mobile computing, from ubiquitous smartphones to soon-to-be-ubiquitous tablets like the iPad. Whether consumers choose to buy a phone from Apple (AAPL) or Samsung, and regardless of whether they sign up for a plan with AT&T (T), Verizon (VZ) or T-Mobile, part of Deutsche Telekom, the one element that none of them can do without is the infrastructure that connects their devices to that carrier.
In other words, their ability to download the latest version of Angry Birds or stream the just-aired episode of Mad Men on their brand-new device depends on the presence of wireless towers. Regardless of how much providers like Verizon are able to charge their customers in exchange for that bandwidth, they have to create a network that those customers are willing to pay for -- and that means putting more antennas on more towers in more places across the continent.
Even before the release of the latest iPad -- which reportedly causes its users to consume a lot more gigabits than they had expected thanks to the 4G downloads -- made its debut this year, the wireless tower industry was bracing for growth. Bad news for AT&T -- the end to its plan to acquire T-Mobile, requiring a $4 billion breakup fee paid to the latter -- will be good news for American Tower (AMT), SBA Communications (SBAC) and Crown Castle (CCI), all of which are acquiring both new assets (in terms of both land and towers) and a growing following among the Wall Street investment research community. I
ndependent investment banking firm Evercore recently boosted its rating on SBA to overweight; Credit Suisse (CS) initiated coverage of SBA and a handful of its peers by publishing a research note in which the analysts called for the industry to outperform, citing strong demand, high barriers to entry and limited competition among their reasons for the bullish call.
There is no reason to disagree with that assessment. The industry is consolidating around a handful of players at a critical moment in its history, as smartphone addicts begin to realize that their current lifestyles are unsustainable out of the range of one of these towers. Whether it's sending a critical e-mail or paying a bill online via an iPhone -- or even trying to navigate an unfamiliar neighborhood while taking your kid to a friend's birthday party -- reliance on these networks will only grow.
Investors have been underestimating growth for the group as a whole, the Credit Suisse research team concluded, and forecast that SBA's stock price could hit $67 a share, up from just above $50 today, while American Tower could rise from its current $63 to $75. Meanwhile, Crown Castle has been added to the S&P 500 index.
Once the tower companies build their towers, they can expand the capacity of each simply by adding extra antennas or cell sites. That translates into what investment analysts like to call "operational leverage." In other words, for a minimal up-front investment, American Tower or Crown Castle can begin collecting a stream of revenue from the likes of T-Mobile, which likely will have to funnel some of that $4 billion windfall into building its own 4G LTE network.
Just as the gold rush miners relied on the shopkeepers who sold them food, equipment and blue jeans to keep them panning for those elusive nuggets, so the wireless communication tower companies are likely to be big winners regardless of whether a particular smartphone model emerges victorious or is dubbed a lemon.
And the tower companies are in the catbird seat when it comes to the negotiations; this is one industry in which the consumer (i.e., the telecommunications service provider) doesn't have much clout. All the pricing power resides in the hands of the tower companies, a fact that is already being reflected in their earnings and share prices. But while American Tower's stock is up about 30% over year-ago levels, its fourth-quarter net income more than doubled.
Analysts acknowledge the stocks aren't cheap, but unless Americans en masse decide to abandon their iPhones and iPads in favor of the postal service and the quill pen, the size of the business opportunity more than justifies the valuations.

is that I've matched the side hole cutouts to fit the new volvo panel. Another
is to add little tabs in the pieces so they fit together easily. I may even add
in the holes where you're supposed to drill in screws so they are countersunk.
The point of this is to do most of the hard work/wood working that most people
dont have access to.
I'll be using MDF 1/2" thick and cutting out the front, side panels and top and
bottom. I just wanted to let you guys know this is happening, and wanted to
gauge interest. I'm not sure the weight or shipping costs, but my estimate is
around 35 pounds for the left, right, top, bottom panels, and front border
panel. In order to save on shipping costs, I can offer the side panel split into
two, and the front split into 4, but it is possible to have them together, or
not even include the front panel at all.
The kits will go together quite nicely. I plan to chamfer the corners so the
box's angles go together with ease. I haven't done it yet so I'm sure I'll learn
a bunch putting the first one together.
I'll be making one for myself first, posting pics, and documenting progress. I
don't know all the costs yet since I need to have a finished wood kit to box up
and take to the post office/UPS to figure out shippping, and I need to know how
long it takes to put a kit together to determine costs to ship.
I literally just did this yesterday and the day before, so I'm sure more awesome improvements and better pics and information are to come.
My current plans are to include 12 pieces of wood and a box of screws.
Parts will include cutout left panel, cutout right panel, cutout top panel,
cutout bottom panel, left front border panel, right front border panel, top
front border panel, bottom front border panel, and a 2x4 cut into four 8" long
sections to place in each corner, plus a bunch of screws.
The large front trapezoid panel will not be included since it is so large,
heavy, and not so complicated to reproduce out where you are. My suggestions
include cutting that part from wood by hand, or get a piece of sintra and
reinforce it. There is a large error allowance on this part since its edges are
hidden behind the border pieces on the front panel.
My estimates put shipping at around $70 assuming the box is 6"x10"x82" and the
weight of 50 pounds. I've found a box with these specs. I dont see a need to
share the math for the weight calculation, but 50lb is a good enough rough guess
and is on the high side, and I know it won't weigh more than that. The pieces
will fit into the 6x10x82" box.
Once I get a fullsize kit together, I'll take pics post that, box one up and get more
accurate shipping quotes. my rough plans are posted on therpf thread but i
can't post it here right now. I'm just offerning an opportunity for those of you who
want wood precut, dont want to bother with going to a local CNC person, and want
to pay less than the CNC guy would probably charge you anway.

Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies
Corporate executives are struggling with a new trend: people using online social technologies (blogs, social networking sites, YouTube, podcasts) to discuss products and companies, write their own news, and find their own deals. This groundswell is global, it is unstoppable, it affects every industry and it's utterly foreign to the powerful companies running things now.
When consumers you've never met are rating your company's products in public forums with which you have no experience or influence, your company is vulnerable. In Groundswell, Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff of Forrester, Inc. explain how to turn this threat into an opportunity.
Using tools and data straight from Forrester, you'll learn how to:
-Evaluate new social technologies as they emerge
-Determine how different groups of consumers are participating in social technology arenas
-Apply a four-step process for formulating your future strategy
-Build social technologies into your business including monitoring your brand value, talking with the groundswell through marketing and PR campaigns, and energizing your best customers to recruit their peers
Timely and insightful, this book is required reading for executives seeking to protect and strengthen their company's public image.

Less than 1 0 percent of WSU students voted for the candidates vying for the 19 student government offices. Election plagued by protests, low voter turnout By MARK FORSBERG Signpost news editor This year's student elections offered a unique variety of candidates, but were still marked by low voter turnout, problems with the bylaws and numerous complaints to the elections committee.Biff Whiting and Pat Murphy emerged into the elections spotlight with unique campaigns and promises for a move away from the status quo. In spite of Whiting and Murphy, the voting turnout was about 1,250 students, about 8 percent of the student body, a drop from last year's 10 percent. Three of the 19 student offices were not filed for. Thirteen of the remaining offices were uncontested, including student body president.

Pat Murphy, executive vice-president candidate, said student apathy was partly to blame for his loss. "I think I could have won if more of the student body voted," he said. Bryan Benard, social science senator, said many of the candidates could have focused more on certain campus populations. He cited his opponent as an example.

After a week of intensive campaigning, the winners of the ASWSU executive offices and senatorial positions were announced at an elections party Friday night in the Shepherd Union Building. "Even though my candidacy was uncontested, I ran my full campaign to show the students I am concerned about this university and that I plan to work hard while in office," Chugg said. Current student senator Julie Batchelor was elected as academic vice president. Batchelor also ran unopposed. In the battle for executive vice president, Nancy Barrow defeated Pat Murphy by 352 votes. Barrow expressed relief and satisfaction with the election results "It is such a relief to know that after such a hard week, the work I put into the campaign finally pays dividends, " Barrow said. On the other hand, Barrow's opponent, Pat Murphy, voiced his dismay over an apathetic student body and a staunchly reactionary student government.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

At first, it looked like a climbing accident. But the medical examiner noted the lack of extensive wounding consistent with a fall. And witnesses told police the victim had been in a "verbal confrontation" just an hour earlier.
Now, a man has been arrested for using a claw hammer on the head of a fellow rock climber.
First responders were called to the Carderock, Md., rock climbing area on December 28 for what, at first, looked like a climbing accident. An older man with "massive head trauma" was discovered laying across a wooden beam at the base of the 35-foot tall rock face.
The victim, Geoffrey Farrar, who lived in North Arlington, was an experienced climber. But according to a police document, the medical examiner found that Farrar suffered only injuries on his skull and hands and "no other wounds consistent with a fall were discovered."
Further, a witness told U.S. Park Police an hour before the discovery of the victim that Farrar had been in a verbal altercation in the parking lot nearest to the climbing area. The witness said the man arguing with Farrar was 31-year-old David DiPaolo.
Two witnesses told police they saw DiPaolo running up the trail, and seconds later, the victim was found.
The 69-year-old man was a well-known rock climber. On a funeral home Guestbook page, Geoffrey Farrar was remembered as a "mentor" to other climbers, and remembered as a "cool" person who made Carderock a "welcoming place" for newcomers to the sport.
But in Geoffrey Farrar's North Arlington neighborhood, residents described the victim as a "difficult" man.
Liz Medaglia, a neighbor, said, "If I saw him in the middle of the street, you know, he had an opinion on a lot of things. And he would express the opinion, kind of, repeatedly."
Henrietta Kundert, who lived next door to Farrar, agreed, and told us during an interview: "Well, he had lots of opinions, that he did."
We asked what his opinions were on, she responded, "Everything."
"Just the right way to do things. I mean, you name it, he had an opinion," Kundert continued.
DiPaolo was detained at a police stop in upstate New York. According to the police document, he has told detectives that the 69-year-old Farrar began choking him on the trail and the two fell to the ground. The younger man said he then "found" a claw hammer, struck the victim in the head, then left.
DiPaolo has been charged with manslaughter. He is in the custody of U.S. marshals.
A spokeswoman in the U.S. Attorney's office in Baltimore said DiPaolo did not object to being transported back to Maryland to face the manslaughter charge.

Man denies charges in city weapons incidentBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | July 06,2013A Rutland man who tried to force his way into the Rutland criminal courthouse with multiple knives after allegedly threatening to blow up the Social Security office pleaded innocent to several charges Friday.
Parke Keener, 34, was arraigned in criminal court on several misdemeanor charges including bomb threat, attempted assault by menace, and two counts of disorderly conduct.
He was jailed on $15,000 bail and faces up to 40 months in prison if convicted.
This was Keeners second appearance before a judge this week. Earlier in the week he pleaded innocent to cultivating more than 25 marijuana plants an offense that carries a potential 15-year jail sentence.
For his most recent arrest Wednesday, Keener, a self-employed computer engineer, police said he threatened to blow up the Asa Bloomer Building on Merchants Row.
City police Officer Jon Dickerson wrote in an affidavit that an employee of the Social Security office in the downtown Rutland building overheard Keener talking to himself, swinging his arms and yelling.
I will blow them up if I dont get my check, Dickerson wrote.
The officer said while they were trying to find Keener in the Bloomer Building, police received a call that Keener was in the courthouse lobby just up the street on Merchants Row.
According to the affidavit, Sheriffs Cpl. Richard Wilbur, who was working the courthouses screening area, told city police that Keener rushed in raving out loud about someone taking his money away from him.
Dickerson wrote, Fearing he was about to cross over the counter, Wilbur radioed for backup.
Keener then left the courthouse, slamming both front doors as he went.
Wilbur advised the defendant stated, Im coming back and I am not going through the metal detector, Dickerson said.
Keener was taken into custody sometime later in front of the courthouse.
He was found with multiple knives and a portable police scanner, Dickerson wrote. A search of his car found a sword, a bamboo stick used for martial arts and a long wooden stick, the affidavit said.
In court Friday afternoon, Judge Theresa DiMauro ordered a mental health evaluation for competency.
He meets the need for an inpatient evaluation, said Kelly Wilson of Rutland Mental Health Services. He appears to be a person in need of mental-health help.
She said Keener told her he suffers from bipolar disorder, though mental health records were not available prior to the arraignment.
Keener was heard saying in court, I dont want to get stuck in a hospital. He said the report from the mental health screener was wrong.
This is ridiculous, he said.

Servings: 6 servings
Prep Time: 45 min
Cook Time: 1 hour 15 min
Difficulty: Moderate
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 tablespoons sour cream
About 6 medium peaches, peeled and sliced*, or 1 (28-ounce) can and 1 (16-ounce) can sliced peaches in light syrup, well drained
3 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup peach preserves or jelly, warmed
1 tablespoon frozen lemonade concentrate
Preheat the oven the 375 degrees F.
To make the crust: Place the flour, butter, and sour cream in food processor and pulse to combine. When the dough has formed a ball, pat with lightly floured hands into the bottom and sides of an ungreased 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with 1/2-inch sides, or a round au gratin dish. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crust is set but not browned. Let cool while preparing the filling.
Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
To make the filling: If using fresh peaches, peel and thickly slice the peaches. Arrange the fresh or canned peach slices in overlapping circles on top of the crust, until it's completely covered. Overfill the crust, as peaches will draw up during cooking.
Combine the egg yolks, sour cream, sugar, and flour and beat until smooth. Pour the mixture over the peaches.
Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour, until the custard sets and is pale golden in color. Cover with an aluminum foil tent if the crust gets too dark. Transfer the tart pan to a wire rack to cool. When cool, remove the side wall of the pan.
To make the glaze, combine the preserves or jelly and lemonade. Spread with a pastry brush over the top of the warm tart. Serve the tart warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
*Cook's Note: If using fresh peaches, sprinkle with a little lemon juice after slicing.

This is the best dessert. I add fresh raspberries to the peaches, my family loves every bite!!
By Anonymous on August 03, 2010
Looked like it could be on the cover of a magazine. The crust didn't have much flavor...needs to be sweeter. We enjoyed it best when warm with some whipped cream.
By Anonymous on July 13, 2010
was so anxious to make this it sounded sooooo good. I could not seem to get the center to set. I cooked it even longer than required. It looked beautiful when I removed it from the pan but when I cut it the center was runny. Anyone have any suggestions? Could have been a little sweeter also.
By Little Red Haired Girl on July 21, 2009
Easy to make, yummy and quite beautiful when you pop it out of the tart pan. One suggestion for a sweeter crust: I added 3 tablespoons of sugar and a big pinch of salt to make it more like a shortbread crust (it definitely needs the salt even if you used salted butter). Overfilling the crust was a good recommendation because moisture from the peach evaporates during cooking. I didn't overlap the peaches -- I just piled them into the tart pan. If you don't have a tart pan, this recipe would work equally well in a large pie plate. Leave it in the pie plate for serving. Another great recipe from Paula.

Youth at college and work
February 19, 2010
At age 22, women are more likely to be enrolled in college than men and are also more likely to have completed a bachelor's degree. Among 22-year-olds not enrolled in college, men are more likely than women to be employed in a civilian job or serving in the military.
Twenty-seven percent of young adults were enrolled in college during the October when they were age 22, and 10 percent had received a bachelor's degree. Forty-four percent of 22-year-olds had graduated from high school and were not enrolled in college, and 7 percent had earned a General Educational Development (GED) credential and were not enrolled in college. Eleven percent of individuals were high school dropouts during the October when they were age 22.
Women were more likely than men to be enrolled in college and were more likely to have received a bachelor's degree. Twenty-nine percent of women were attending college during the October when they were age 22, compared with 25 percent of men. Moreover, 13 percent of women had earned a bachelor's degree, compared with 7 percent of men.
At age 22, labor force status differed substantially between high school dropouts, high school graduates who had never attended college, and individuals who had left college. Those with more education were more likely to be employed in civilian jobs.
Ten percent of male high school graduates who had never enrolled in college were in the Armed Forces during the October when they were age 22, as were 7 percent of the 22-year-old men who had attended college but had not earned a bachelor's degree and were no longer enrolled. Three percent of 22-year-old men with a bachelor's degree were serving in the Armed Forces.
These data are from the National Longitudinal Surveys. See "America's Youth at 22: School Enrollment, Training, and Employment Transitions Between Ages 21 and 22" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-10-0099, to learn more. These data are from the first 11 annual rounds of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), which is a nationally representative survey of about 9,000 young men and women who were born during the years 1980 to 1984.
