It's a conundrum that faces the Weekly 18 staff every single week: Which story should get the coveted pole position in the column?
Some weeks it's a fairly easy decision, with one major story easily taking a 5-shot lead over all other contenders. Other weeks it's not as simple, with too many opening acts and not enough headliners amongst the golfing landscape.
And then there are occasions like this past week, when the storylines come faster than a U.S. Open green without water.
Do we lead with K.J. Choi's 3-stroke win at the inaugural AT&T National? (Nah, just wrote about him during last month's Memorial Tournament.) Maybe Tiger Woods' return to the PGA Tour for the first time as a father and tournament host? (Been there, done that.) How about Brad Bryant's improbable U.S. Senior Open victory? (Not a bad possibility, but there wasn't much drama.) Or up-and-comer Jason Day's first win on the Nationwide Tour? (Eh, not enough fan interest.)
And then there's Monty. That's right, Colin Montgomerie came from behind to claim his first title in 19 months on Sunday, giving him something to smile about and giving the Weekly 18 our lead item.
1. The full Monty
The professional golf season is past its traditional midway point and making the turn toward the year's third major at Carnoustie. And, as always, when the British Open is just around the corner, thoughts turn to Colin Montgomerie and his often up-and-down, topsy-turvy, brilliant-yet-luckless career.
After all, Monty is a 31-time European Tour title winner ... but is still seeking his first major victory. He won the Order of Merit each year from 1993-99 and again in 2005 ... but hasn't won since that season.
Until now.
Montgomerie posted a final-round 65 to claim the European Open by one stroke at The K Club on Sunday, which should be considered a good thing if you appreciate grand champions and great story lines. Perhaps we've been wearing our "Be Nice To Monty" button for too long, but having the great Scot once again at the peak of his game heading toward the British Open can only provide more entertainment to the festivities at Carnoustie.
"This is a new era for me," Montgomerie said following his latest victory. "I am a competitor and the one thing I have missed is the competition and when I am in contention I don't tend to fear it. ... It is just great at 44 to come back and win again as sometimes that is the end of one's career and I feel this is a new beginning for me and I can look forward now."
Looking forward, Monty will once again be the sentimental favorite in Scotland, a native son still in search of the white whale -- a major championship -- that has eluded him for so long. While U.S. galleries get behind Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and everyman John Daly at stateside majors, support will be even greater for Montgomerie along the familiar links of Carnoustie next week.
Don't be surprised if Monty makes one more run at the Claret Jug in front of the hometown fans once again. He sounds like a man still on a mission.
"I am still capable of winning," he said. "I have proved it again. I have proved it to myself and hopefully I can do it again."
2. Puttering around
Tiger Woods' overall total of 29.75 putts per round (T-22 in the field) and 1.764 putts per GIR (21st) doesn't sound awful, but it was the difference between another ho-hum top-10 finish and a run at the first-ever AT&T National title on Sunday. Any discourse about Woods' problems on the greens this season, however, is unfounded, based on the numbers. Though he ranks 115th in putts per round (29.47), that's simply a byproduct of hitting so many greens in regulation. And though Woods' putting average of 1.763 (17th on tour) is his worst number since 2002, he's been only slightly better in recent years. Even so, you can bet Tiger will be putting in some extra long sessions with the flatstick leading up to his next start at the British Open.
3. Wrist-y business
In his first round back after missing the cut at the U.S. Open due in part to a wrist injury, Phil Mickelson shot a 4-over 74 at the AT&T and failed to make a birdie for the second time in his last three rounds. (He also didn't post one red number in the first round at Oakmont.) Mickelson followed with a second-round 73, which included double-bogeys on two of his final three holes, to miss the cut by three strokes. "[It's] not quite a hundred [percent], but it will be all right," Mickelson said of the wrist prior to the tournament. "I'm going to be leery all year. It's not like I'm going to ever be confident and going aggressively at it." Even if he fully recovers from the injury soon, history says we shouldn't expect much from Phil for the remainder of the season. For his career, Mickelson owns 24 of his 31 career victories before the U.S. Open (the traditional midway point of the season) and only seven after that point.
4. Ping-pong: The next generation
Ask Woods and Mickelson and they'll acknowledge that they're fierce rivals. Not on the golf course, mind you -- in ping-pong. The stories of Woods and Mickelson doing battle in Ryder and Presidents cup locker rooms are legendary and Mickelson ensured recently that the rivalry will remain within the families for at least another generation by buying Woods' newborn daughter, Sam Alexis, a miniature ping-pong table. "We wanted to give Sam Alexis a little head start," Mickelson said. "Given that Amy and I seem to own Tiger and Elin, we just thought that our kids have had a head start; we wanted to give Sam Alexis a little jumpstart on her game." Woods, for his part, was less adversarial when speaking of the gift. "What they did was awfully nice," he said. "To have, you know, a person you compete against and the person that you go at toe-to-toe all the time; we certainly appreciate that kind of warmth. To come from Phil and Amy, it's very special."
5. Stat's all, folks
Stat of the week: Vijay Singh, Mickelson and Woods checked in at Nos. 1, 3 and 4 on the PGA Tour's scoring average list entering the AT&T, while K.J. Choi brought up the rear in that category's top 20. Aside from those four, however, none of the other 16 players in the top 20 in scoring average have yet to record a victory yet this season. At 70.26 strokes per round -- just .08 behind Singh -- Jose Coceres ranks second on the list, while David Toms, Bo Van Pelt, Kevin Na, Matt Kuchar, Jim Furyk, Tom Lehman, Heath Slocum, Fredrik Jacobson, Daniel Chopra, Justin Rose, Jerry Kelly, Anthony Kim, Robert Allenby, Sean O'Hair and Steve Stricker round out the top 20 before Choi. What does it mean? There's more to winning on tour than consistently shooting low numbers.
6. Not standing Pat
Pat Perez was barely inside the top-10 when he concluded his final-round 67 at Congressional, but he had climbed all the way up to T-3 by the time every player had walked off the course. As the highest top-10 finisher in the field not already exempt into the British Open, Perez punched his ticket to Carnoustie by making birdies on two of his final three holes Sunday. (Pelle Edberg made the field by his similar result at the European Open, while Hunter Mahan and Woody Austin did so by virtue of their places on the PGA Tour money list, though Austin reportedly won't make the trip.) It was Perez's fourth top-10 in 18 starts this year, which may not sound like much, but has made for a successful campaign so far, considering he's dealt with consistent injuries to both elbows for much of the past year.
7. How 'bout them Apples?
Stuart Appleby owns eight career PGA Tour victories, so it's tough to say the Aussie isn't a clutch player in high-pressure situations, but recent history shows he's had some uninspired Sundays, too. Playing in the final group at the Masters, he shot 75 to finish T-7. At the U.S. Open, he was five back entering the last round, but shot 79 and finished T-26. And at the AT&T National, he was the 54-hole leader by two strokes, but made four bogeys and a double in his first seven holes on Sunday en route to a 6-over 76 and a share of third place. For the season, Appleby's final-round scoring average of exactly 73 ranks 158th on tour.
8. Congressional in session?
Host course Congressional CC was deemed a home run by seemingly every player in this week's AT&T field and is locked in for a second year in 2008. However, it's apparent that even if the site becomes a long-term home for this event, back-up plans will be in the works for 2009 and 2011, when the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Open, respectively, will be held at Congressional. So, what are the options? PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem addressed the issue earlier this week.
• On the possibility of the tournament moving to TPC Avenel, where the Kemper Open/Booz Allen Classic was held every year but one from 1987 through last season: "Really, the struggle with Avenel in 2009 is that it is just starting construction this year."
• On Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, site of the 2005 Presidents Cup: "It would certainly be an option."
• On a military base course: "Well, there are some military courses and I think that it could be staged there."
• On the possibility that the venue could rotate every year: "It's possible. It's possible. I honestly at this point, I don't think we nor the [Tiger Woods] Foundation have any particular game plan."
• On whether it could actually move out of the Washington, D.C., area during those years: "I don't want to ever say never. I think the focus is Washington, D.C., for the long term, but we've got to be practical and see what develops in terms of what can happen."
Considering the AT&T was just built into the schedule four months prior to its start date, it's tough to fault Finchem for not having the solutions to any long-term questions regarding Congressional hosting the event. However, these questions do need to be answered at some point in the not-too-distant future and it seems the tour has a wide range of options to discuss. Stay tuned.
9. Sooners and later
The Weekly 18 has often spied Todd Hamilton and Anthony Kim at the practice range and putting green together this season, with the former British Open champ usually tutoring the PGA Tour rookie. Might sound a bit backwards, considering Kim already owns four top-10s this year, while Hamilton has missed the cut in 15 of 19 starts, but it makes perfect sense according to the rook. After Hamilton won at Royal Troon in 2004, the ex-University of Oklahoma player came back to the school to compete in an alumni match against members of that year's team. He faced Kim, who was then a sophomore on the team and recalls getting "whooped." He's been going to school ever since. "That guy, his short game is unbelievable," Kim told us this week. "Ever since then, I've been watching how he chips and practices. He's got the best hands that I know of out here. To be around that makes me better. To play with him makes me better. And to learn from what he says, all his experience on different kinds of surfaces and how to hit shots under pressure has helped me tremendously."
10. Kim possible
Kim may be among the leading candidates for the rookie of the year award, but that doesn't mean he hasn't suffered his share of burnout lately. "I haven't touched a club in two weeks," he said on the practice range prior to the AT&T before quickly reassessing, adding, "I mean, I put 'em in the travel bag, but that's pretty much it." Kim said the 61 competitive rounds in the year's first six months were more than he's ever played in that time frame before. Despite being the youngest player on tour at just 22 years old (his birthday was June 19), he said he's never felt any pressure during the season. "This is my first year of many," Kim said. "If a guy is 40 years old and it's his rookie year, he's going to have more pressure than I am. I have 30 more years out here." He shot 71-69-69-73 to finish T-25 at the AT&T.
11. Open and closed
Will MacKenzie has never competed in any of the four major championships and his quest will have to wait one more month as he missed out on British Open qualifying this past Monday. Well inside the number with only a few holes left to play, Willie Mac missed a 6-foot birdie putt on the sixth hole (his 15th) at Oakland Hills' South Course and promptly slammed his putter to the ground, breaking it and rendering it unusable for the remainder of the round. MacKenzie was forced to finish up with a 60-degree wedge on the greens and ended double-bogey-double-bogey, though as he told us the next day, "It didn't really matter," meaning the strokes he lost weren't due to poor putting. He missed qualifying for the Open by two shots.
12. Mich-ion impossible?
It's been 11 years since Oakland Hills' South Course hosted a U.S. Open (Steve Jones won there in 1996), but word on the street is that the Bloomfield Hills, Mich., course is in the running for another sometime in the future. The USGA is booked up through 2014, but Oakland Hills, which will host the 2008 PGA Championship, could be in the running for 2015 and beyond. Those who competed in the British Open qualifier on the venue's two courses this past Monday are already quivering in their soft spikes. "I thought it was borderline almost unfair," Brandt Snedeker told the Detroit Free Press. "I thought it was a great golf course. I'm sure it was at one time. The way they set it up today and what they've done to it -- I understand they're trying to get it ready for an Open back here. It was probably harder than Oakmont with not-as-hard conditions." When pressed for an opinion the next day, another player who didn't qualify said, "It's hard enough already. Once the USGA gets their hands on it, it's going to be next to impossible."
13. Tough enough
Meanwhile, there was some weird, wild stuff taking place at British qualifying on Sunningdale's Old Course in England. The R&A looked ruefully like the USGA by placing an "unplayable" pin position on the par-3 fourth hole during Monday's play, with the hole location on a severe slope at the green's front edge. How unplayable was it? Ricardo Gonzalez five-putted, Edoardo Molinari and Alexander Noren four-putted, and Brett Rumford turned a 2-foot birdie putt into a 35-footer for par. So the R&A suspended the event while the hole location was moved. The only problem? Of the eight players who had already completed the hole and were asked to play it again after the round, a few actually made a worse score on the easier pin position, as Fredrik Andersson Hed turned par into double-bogey and Richard Bland turned birdie into par. "I said to my caddie we could be here all day," said Bland, who failed to qualify. "It was just a farce and I'm disappointed with the R&A. In this day and age, you expect a bit better."
14. One for the ages
Long live the 1-iron! Two years ago, we penned a piece declaring the demise of the aptly named "butterknife," but much to our pleasant surprise, Brad Bryant pulled the club out of the bag on the tee box of the U.S. Senior Open's final hole with a three-stroke lead, striping one right down the fairway. "Best swing you've made all week," Bryant's caddie, Tony Smith, told him. It led to a routine par and his first career major championship victory. And somewhere, Joey Sindelar, Jose Maria Olazabal and maybe even Gene Sarazen were smiling.
15. Casey at the bat
Reader Casey in Austin, Texas, (aka Crenshawville) e-mailed on Friday evening, singing the praises of Ben Crenshaw, who was three strokes behind leader Tom Watson at the time. "He's done that before," we countered. "Let's see if he keeps it up over the weekend." So sure were we that he would fail to remain amongst the leaders that we promised Casey a 100-word spot in the Weekly 18 if Crenshaw was seriously in contention coming down the back nine on Sunday. Well, he was. Uh, sort of. A third-round 76 dropped him on the leaderboard, but Crenshaw bounced back with a final-day 2-under 70 to finish in second place, 3 shots behind winner Brad Bryant. All of which means Casey is now at the bat:
"Surprised to see Ben Crenshaw's name among the leaders at the U.S. Senior Open? You shouldn't be. The former state champion at Austin High, national champion at the University of Texas, and two-time Masters winner has a pretty good track record at the British Open (five top-five finishes) and Whistling Straits looks straight out of Scotland. He came up short this week, but look for Gentle Ben as a dark horse at the Senior British Open at Muirfield in a few weeks. That's where, in 1980, he finished third to another guy with a decent record at the British Open -- Tom Watson."
16. Nice Day
Call it the first of many for Jason Day, who won the Nationwide Tour's Legend Financial Group Classic by 1 stroke over Scott Gardiner on Sunday. In doing so the Aussie, who's still four months shy of his 20th birthday, became the youngest player to win any PGA Tour-sanctioned event, besting 1911 U.S. Open champion Johnny McDermott by two months. "To win at the age of 19 is a great accomplishment," Day said. "This goes down in history. It is a great achievement to be the tour's youngest winner." He also appears to be the latest in a long line of world-class players from Down Under. Needing birdie on the final hole for the victory, Day did just that -- his 22nd red number overall for the tournament. But it was his proficiency for avoiding mistakes, especially during the weekend, that gave Day the win; after making bogey on his first hole of the third round, he didn't make another for the final 35 holes of the event.
17. Rolex players to watch
Sihwan Kim ensured he'll be the most decorated golfer of Stanford's Class of 2011 -- and yes, that includes Michelle Wie -- when the sixth-ranked junior player won the prestigious Rolex Tournament of Champions this week, adding to his 2004 U.S. Junior Amateur title and seven other AJGA victories. The latter number puts him in elite company, tied with Tiger Woods, Charles Howell III and Bob May for second-most all-time behind Phil Mickelson. Not bad for a kid who started playing at age 9 because his parents thought he was too chubby. "They didn't think I could run or anything," Kim said, "so they thought golf was pretty good for me."
On the girls' side of the draw at the Rolex, Courtney Ellenbogen stormed past the field, winning by 5 strokes to claim her second career AJGA title. "It's always hard to play with a lead but I felt my game was good enough and strong enough to compete," she said. "I've been working hard all summer, so it's nice to see it all come together." Like Kim, Ellenbogen is in good company, too, joining the likes of Grace Park, Morgan Pressel and Esther Choe on the champions list.

Essay - Bullying Proposal Abstract...
Bullying Proposal
The national phenomenon of bullying must be considered across individual, family, peer, school, and community contexts. Because ***** tends to perpetuate itself, formulating and implementing effective bullying prevention and intervention programs demands an underst*****ding of the environment that establishes and maintains it. Based on reports of ***** at Arthur County Schools in *****, Nebraska, an ethnographic research of this problem will be conducted to identify causes and possible interventions. The participants in the study are 11 seventh grade students, five girls and six boys, who were involved with ***** bully/victim dyad during the previous year. The instruments used were a bullying questionnaire to compare victimization and emotional status of the participants and the Iowa Test of Basic Skills to assess academic performance. A syn*****sis of the results of the interviews and statistical ***** of ***** Iowa Tests ***** be made to ***** any relationship between bullying/ victimization and ***** performance.

Problem *****
To date, just one large-scale study on bullying in the United States has been conducted; in this study by Nansel, Overpeck, Pilla, Ruan, Simons-Morton, & Scheidt (2001), 15,686 6th-through 10th-grade students ***** requested to complete surveys on bully*****g. Of these respondents, 29.9 percent reported moderate to frequent involvement in bullying when they were assessed in 1998. Of this 29.9 percent reporting bullying instances, 13 ***** identified themselves as the bullies involved, 10.6 percent self-identified as victims, ***** 6.3 percent ***** as bully-victims. These researchers determined that bullying behaviors typically *****ok place more *****ten in middle school than in high *****, and boys were more likely than girls to be involved in bullying (Nansel et al., 2001). Further, the bully-victims identified in this study exhibited the most pervasive negative psychosocial outcomes and there were no differences in bully*****g across urban, suburban, and rural areas (Nansel ***** al., 2001). These same trends are evident even in small schools such as Arthur County Schools where bullying situations have become evident over the p*****t several months within the seventh grade class. Two students, ***** male and one female have reported incidents of being bullied. The bullying thus far has been mostly verbal with taunting, teasing and some exclusion but "accidental" bumping and kicking under ***** table have also been *****.

Farewell, Mr SpockPosted in Biographical, Television on February 27, 2015 by telescoper
I was very sad to hear this afternoon of the death, at the age of 83, of actor Leonard Nimoy. Although he did a great many other things in a long and varied career, Leonard Nimoy will of course be remembered most fondly for his role as Mr Spock, Science Officer of the USS Enterprise, in Star Trek.
I was both fascinated and inspired by Mr Spock when I was young, so Leonard Nimoy's death is like the loss of an old friend. I'm sure I'm not the only scientist of my generation who is feeling that way today. Mr Spock represented the outsider in all of us.Follow @telescoper
Left Bank Two, for Tony HartPosted in Music, Television with tags Left Bank Two, The Noveltones, Tony Hart, Vision On on February 16, 2015 by telescoper
Yesterday Twitter was awash with comments about the sad death of the pioneering children TV's presenter Tony Hart. The trouble is that he died six years ago, thus demonstrating what I suspected for some time, i.e. that most users of social media have a very short attention span.
Now, where was I?
Oh yes.
When he actually died The newspapers and television were filled with suitably glowing tributes to Tony Hart, because he was not only a superb presenter but also a warm and generous person. That's quite a rare combination in the world of television, so I'm told. Anyway, I'm not at all sorry to have the excuse to play tribute to him again as he is still greatly missed.
I knew of him primarily through Vision On, a programme which I watched avidly as a child, and only found out much later on that it was intended to be for deaf children. The show involved comedy sketches and cartoons, as well as Tony Hart's contributions which involved creating works of art live in front of the camera. He hardly ever spoke and used only the simplest of materials to create very beautiful things with the idea that this would inspire his audience to get in touch with their artistic side without making it look too much like a lesson. He did it brilliantly.
My favourite bit of the programme was The Gallery, accompanied by a piece of music which is almost as redolent with nostalgia for me as the theme from Doctor Who. The track concerned is called Left Bank Two and was performed by the Noveltones, just a trio of vibraphone, guitar and drums played with brushes, I think it's a masterpiece of relaxed simplicity. Nobody got his collar wet playing it, that's for sure. It's the sort of music you might have expected to hear in a smart cocktail bar in the early 60s but is now inextricably linked to The Gallery.Follow @telescoper

Whatever the outcome of Thursday's referendum on independence, it's clear that we who live South of the Border need to try harder to understand the Scots much better than we have so far. Because Glasgow and its environs appear to be hotbeds of the pro-secession vote, I can think of no better way to begin this process than by learning more about Glaswegian and the way what she is spoke, in order to improve mutual respect and foster dialogue.

this was my 1st time dealing with a duck and im happy with the result having used this recipe. + 1 other mouth is happy :) makes it a nice recipe to use again. Thank you for the recipe, it was delicious :)
This recipe is as best as the ones I'd normally get from restaurant, and it just taste so much better. The result of this is so much worth the wait during preparation time. Believe me, you won't even feel time when you're savouring every pieces. I'd highly recommend this to any duck meat lovers. Will make again. Saves me much money from buying in restaurants.

Today, from a small trading centre in colonial times it has transformed into a glittering city, finds Ranjita Biswas The cobbled paths around A Ma temple and the historic centre of Macau are designed like waves which were laid during its Portuguese colonial rule that stretched from 1550s to almost this century. Our guide Alorino Noruega said they symbolize sea-waves. Indeed, at one time Portugal ruled the waves with its adventurous sailors, from Vasco da Gama to Magellan, opening up hitherto unknown sea routes and in the process, also helped to expand Portuguese colonies. Macau was one of the earliest European settlements in the history of East Asia. At that time the strategic location at the mouth of the Pearl River was known as Ou Mun, or "trading gate". Fishermen from Fujian and farmers from Guangdong from nearby Canton first settled here. The locals also called it A Ma Gao, "Place of A Ma", in honour of the goddess of seafarers, whose temple stands at the sea front. In the Portuguese tongue, the name gradually changed into Macau. In 1997 it reverted back to China per an earlier agreement. But like Hong Kong, it is a Special Administrative Region within China. In 2000, when I first went to Macau on a whistle-stop trip from Hong Kong, the place seemed still unsure how the new identity would work out. It wore an air of a European habitat with great dollops of Chinese influence. Recently when I visited there again, I witnessed a sea change- more of China and less of Portugal now, though the fusion of cultures is still palpable. Macau today is all a- glitter. The night sky is painted with multi-coloured neon lights atop huge hotels; each star hotel worth its name has a swanky casino of its own. Their foyers offer enchanting techno shows at regular intervals and live performances. While in 2000 there were a only couple of them like the Grand Lisboa, today there is a casinos galore, some 20 in Macau town itself, seriously giving competition to the Las Vagas strip. The worlds biggest casino Venetian Macao under a permanently blue sky with fleecy cloud (created artificially, of course), the Dream City which greets you as the plane swoops down on a picturesque air strip built around a water body, the sprawling Galaxy which has fantastic Diamond show are just a few of them. Rather than taking a chance at a croupiers table, we tried placing a small bet at the Greyhound Race, quite a legacy here and has it own fan following. The Canidrome (Yat Yuen) was built in the 1930s and is Asias only such facility. The dogs, ready to run after a decoy rabbit, looked scrawny enough but could they run once the race started! The most significant landmark of Macau is the ruin of St. Pauls Church (Ruínas de Sao Paulo). The magnificent façade up on a hillock is reached by a wide row of 66 stone steps. The church stands witness to an era when the island was a seat of western learning in the Orient. The church was built in 1602 adjoining the Jesuit College of St. Pauls, the first western college in the Far East. Made of wood and beautifully decorated by Japanese and Chinese artisans, its glowing descriptions can be found in early travelogues. It was devastated by a fire in 1835 destroying almost the whole complex. Today, after a restoration project the Ruins have been turned into a museum. It gives an idea of what the beautiful church looked like once. Nearby is Macaus main square, Largo do Senado, simply called Senado Square. Cobblestone streets, redolent colonial buildings skirting the square that created an ambience of a laidback lifestyle I found earlier are now flush with shops and shoppers, from food outlets to designer boutiques. It is a good place to sit and observe the bustling scene when your legs refuse to move. In fact, the plaza which is part of the Historic Centre of Macau that includes some twenty-eight historic monuments and eight public squares is now a World Heritage Site recognised by UNESCO. Within such a compact area, Macau has an astonishing number of churches, Chinese temples and museums. For the car racing fan, a grand experience is a visit to Grand Prix museum with some of the real car models featured here. Macau is on the Grand Prix circuit and is quite famous. In November the main streets of the peninsula are converted to a racetrack, somewhat like the Monaco Grand Prix . Attached is the Wine Museum with hundreds of wine collections, some donated by families while leaving for Portugal. A short cable-car ride took us to a hilly path to the first western-style Lighthouse in Asia from where the city looks fabulous. In contrast, is the Macau Tower, very modern, where sky-walkers and bungee-jumpers defy the fear of height. But a real revelation was the Macau Science Center, showcasing the new Macau. Its very interactive with scope for easy experiments like nutrition balance on daily diet, calculating the percentage of oxygen in your blood, your stamina etc. No wonder, school groups flock here to enjoy and learn. Macaus food, loosely called Macanese cuisine, is a delicious mix of southern Chinese food and Portuguese style fused with ingredients from different continents where Portugal had colonies which gives it a unique spicy flavour. Charcoal roasted fish and chicken dishes are absolutely outstanding. A signature dish is Bacalhua, built around the salty cod fish. Another is Galinda a Africana (African chicken) baked in coconut and peanut paste, with garlic and chilli. Macanese Chili Shrimps or prawns split and charcoal roasted are delicious too. A popular snack is Pork Chop Bun, served hot right from the oven by the street vendors. To round up on a sweet note, you must have Macaus famous Pastel de Nata, an egg tart with a creamy custard- like filling. Though they are readily available in the market the best is found in Lord Stows Bakery in the island of Coloane, which also has a beach called Hac Sa Beach. The area is an old settlement with well-preserved colonial era Portuguese architecture and patterned brick plazas and lovely for walks. Gold jewellery in 24 carat, said to be cheaper here, silver and other gems like pearl, precious and semi-precious stones are in the shoppers must-buy list, it seemed. And of course, for the epicurean, Port wine and Madeira from Portugal, cigars are good collectibles. Olive oil imported from Portugal is also a good buy. So you have in Macau a good package for a holiday -shopping, gambling, entertainment , great food. And safety. You can walk around the city till late in the night without any problem.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
More than a month after it abruptly shuttered ComicsAlliance and AOL Music, AOL is expected to announce today that it has sold the comics blog and three music websites to Townsquare Media Group. The staffs will join the Connecticut-based media and digital-marketing company, which owns 243 radio stations and a growing number of websites, including ScreenCrush and PopCrush.
UPDATE (6 a.m.): And, just like that, ComicsAlliance has returned with new content, beginning with a comics explanation of the website's history. (Original story continues below.)
According to AOL's TechCrunch, the deal includes hip-hop site The BoomBox, country-music site The Boot and heavy-metal blog Noisecreep, but not the flagship AOL Music or Spinner.
The purchase by Townsquare reunites ComicsAlliance and the music sites with Bill Wilson, the company's executive vice president and chief digital officer, who helped to develop the properties during his tenure as president of AOL Media.
"I wanted to make sure you saw that we were able to acquire some of the aol music assets (and Comics Alliance)," Wilson tweeted this morning. "Very excited!"
AOL shut down the sites April 26, informing the staffs that day during a round of conference calls. The news came so suddenly that contributors were unable to publish any kind of farewell to readers: ComicsAlliance's "final" post was a previously scheduled link roundup that appeared April 29; the item eventually drew nearly 300 comments from readers about the loss of the site.
However, the ComicsAlliance staff began teasing a possible resurrection May 20 with three posts featuring the heartbeat sequence from The Dark Knight Returns, a shot of the Pit from The Dark Knight Rises, and a page from Batman: Birth of the Demon.
Update 2: Here's the official press release:
Townsquare Media Group to Add Music and Entertainment-Focused Digital Properties to Diversified Asset Portfolio
Greenwich, CT – June 3, 2013 – Townsquare Media Group announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire AOL Music assets The Boot (http://www.theboot.com/), The BoomBox (http://www.theboombox.com/) and NoiseCreep (http://www.noisecreep.com/) as well as ComicsAlliance (http://www.comicsalliance.com/) from AOL Inc. The new digital properties will join Townsquare Media Group's national digital business, a portfolio of premium music and entertainment websites which reach over 52 million US monthly unique visitors and include Taste of Country (http://tasteofcountry.com/), PopCrush (http://popcrush.com/), ScreenCrush (http://screencrush.com/) and Okayplayer (http://www.okayplayer.com/).
AOL Music is considered a pioneer in digital music, creating The Boot, The Boombox and NoiseCreep to expand its scope into Country Music, Hip Hop and R&B and heavy metal, respectively.
ComicsAlliance is one of the most important and established online voices in the comic book industry. The site, a three-time and 2013 nominee for the industry's esteemed Eisner Award, has hosted its own panel at ComicCon and has been featured on The Daily Show and in New York Magazine.
"The acquisition of these assets from AOL represents the continued rapid growth of Townsquare Media's portfolio of owned and operated music and entertainment websites," commented Townsquare Media Group Chairman and CEO, Steven Price. "Adding these premium brands to Townsquare Media's comprehensive offering propels our scale beyond today's 52 million US monthly unique visitors, allowing advertisers and agencies even greater access to this highly engaged and demographically desirable audience."
As part of the transaction, members of the AOL Music and ComicsAlliance teams will be working with Townsquare Media's team going forward. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Yay for Comics Alliance! I only discovered it about a month before AOL shut it down, which was heartbreaking. Glad to hear it's returning.
Any idea exactly when it's returning? I miss it too.
What Lazarus Pit in Dark Knight Rises?
This is good news, though. Funny thing is that I never visited Comics Alliance while it was around, and then when it closed, I heard nothing but good things. Will have to check it out when it's back.
More good sites on comics is good for all of us.
It is great that the site and name are back, but Comics Alliance is only as good as the writers. Hopefully they are back too.
The "We're back" post ends with an Expendables parody shot that includes all the full-timers and prominent freelancers (Sims, Wilson, Brothers and Fong are the ones I recognize) from the site's original incarnation. It sure seems like they're bringing the actual people back.
I'm just wondering how long it'll take them to actually get off AOL's network. The site still has all the old company's branding and infrastructure.

The advantages of this casserole are that it is hearty, healthy, and yields a lot. However, we really didn't care for it that much. I made on the stovetop in the Dutch oven. We found it took about 3 times the amount of time to get it to the right consistency. Perhaps I should have initially turned the heat up higher, but I didn't want to scorch it. I used hot curry powder, which wasn't too hot in the overall dish. The recipe didn't state when to put the tomatoes in, so we put it in at the stage we added the lentils and other ingredients.
My stove top was not working so I had to improvise. I put everything into a casserole and used the slow cook feature on my oven. After 3 hours this was perfect. I used yellow curry paste and chicken broth. Thanks for the recipe.

Lena Lindt and her older sister, Dora, have always been close, like "right and left hands laced tight together." They and their parents accept that Dora is the moody but fun one, "a storm on the horizon, [Lena] the needle that always pointed to steady," a formula that works until Dora is overcome by severe depression in her junior year of high school. Schumacher's (The Book of One Hundred Truths) characterizations are humane yet shaded: to combat the effect of Dora's illness, Mr. and Mrs. Lindt send the outwardly coping Lena to a therapist but treat Dora's eventual hospitalization like a shameful secret. Lena, meanwhile, feels an us-against-the-parents bond with her sister, who uses their intimacy to pressure Lena to keep secrets that may be endangering her recovery. The title refers to the drugs prescribed for Dora; at least one comes with a "black box" warning, meaning that the person taking it is at increased risk for suicide and needs to be watched closely-traditionally, Lena's job in the family. An expert use of metaphor, combined with sympathetic insight into the impact of depression on families, turns a painful subject into a standout novel. Ages 12-up.

Editorial Reviews
Gr 7 Up
Stable and stoic Elena is a high school freshman when her beloved older sister, Dora, is hospitalized for depression. Elena takes it upon herself to look after her sibling when she comes home, while Dora and, ultimately, the entire family fall to pieces. In the end, Elena, with the help of her friend Jimmy Zenk, comes to realize that she alone can't make her better and that Dora has to help herself. With few words, characters are expertly fleshed out. For example, telling details reveal Elena's personality: "Matching socks was generally acknowledged to be my specialty." Schumacher eloquently describes the devastating effect that depression can have on a family. The writing is spare, direct, and honest. Written in the first person, this is a readable, ultimately uplifting book about a difficult subject.-Ragan O'Malley, Saint Ann's School, Brooklyn, NY
"A readable, ultimately uplifting book about a difficult subject."
Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, August 4, 2008:
"[A] standout novel."
Starred Review, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, September 2008:
"[T]his understatedly told story dramatically illustrates the way one family member's setback happens to the whole family, but they must all still find their own ways through it."
Starred Review, Booklist, November 1, 2008:
"Schumacher beautifully conveys Elena's loneliness and guilt as she tries to protect her sister without betraying her, as well as the emotional release she experiences upon finding someone to trust with her own feelings."
"This tale of a good family that suddenly finds itself in bad trouble is witty and spare and expertly maps the territory of depression. Julie Schumacher is a wonderful writer; I love this novel." —Judith Guest, bestselling author of Ordinary People
"Schumacher's books ring with genuine and true memories, and her technical skills put her among the top middle-grade and YA writers working today."—Pete Hautman, winner of the National Book Award
"Black Box is a vivid, intimate portrait of the effect depression has on its immediate victim and on the people around her. Taut and compact, it is written with passionate clarity."Andrew Solomon, bestselling author of The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression

Read an Excerpt
On Sunday right after breakfast we went back to the hospital.
We walked through a sudden rain to the double doors of the main entrance, then shook the water from our clothes and crossed through the emergency room waiting area, where people with dislocated arms or broken fingers–things that were probably easy to fix–waited their turns the way we had done two days before.
My mother pushed the button for the elevator and turned to me as if discovering my existence for the first time. "Are you sure you're up for this?" My mother was short, like me, and I worried I would grow up to be a lot like her: determined, chubby, and a pain in the neck. "That was traumatic yesterday," she said. "You can wait in the lobby if you don't want to come."
"Of course she wants to come." My father put his hand on my shoulder. I felt like their private puppet. Let me make her talk!
The elevator opened. Everyone else who filed in with us was carrying flowers and GET WELL! balloons. A little girl was dressed as if she were going to a birthday party. We got off on the fourth floor (no one else got off with us) and nodded to the security guard.
"Let's not say anything to upset her," my mother said.
"We 'll just be ourselves."
Who else would we be? I wondered.
We stowed our jackets in a locker, walked through the metal detector, and buzzed the bell by the door.
I had brought Dora's favorite pajama pants and a sweatshirt that said IOWA SURF CLUB, but the nurse who answered the door and let us in said Dora couldn't have them because the sweatshirt had a hood on it and the pants had a string. "No ropes, no strings. And nothing sharp," the nurse said. "I'll keep these behind the desk so you can take them home."
Beyond the desk where the nurses worked, I saw a group of kids–maybe a dozen of them–sitting in gray plastic chairs in a semicircle. One girl was asleep sitting up. The others didn't seem to be doing anything. A boy lifted his head and stared at me blankly, and I thought of the animals at the zoo, living their lives behind glass while a series of spectators either ignored them or hoped they would get up and do something worthwhile.
The nurse–her name tag identified her as Bev–said that Sunday mornings weren't technically set up for "socializing," but since we hadn't been able to see Dora yet, she supposed we might stay for a short visit.
Where is she?" My mother hugged her arms to her chest.
One of the kids–he had short blond hair and what appeared to be fifteen or twenty stitches in his forehead–pointed toward a set of open doorways on the right: "She's in her room."
My sister's new bedroom, like every other bedroom on the adolescent psychiatric ward at Lorning Memorial Hospital, had two narrow beds, both of them bolted to the vinyl floor, two wooden cubbies bolted to the wall, a gray smeared window that didn't open, and a bathroom door that didn't lock. She was reading a comic book on the bed nearer the window, her long legs straddling the mattress. She was wearing jeans and a hospital gown. The gown was printed with teddy bears holding stethoscopes.
"Dora," my father said. "Hey. It's great to see you."
My sister turned toward us where we were clustered in the doorway. There was something different about her, I thought. There was something new about the way she looked at us, as if we weren't the family she had expected.
I thought my mother was going to cry again; instead, she rushed forward. "We tried to visit you yesterday but you were . . . upset." She sat down on the bed next to Dora and touched the side of her face, her arms, her hair. "You look good, sweetheart."
Dora put down her comic book. Her skin was blotchy and her hair was braided. Dora never wore braids. "They locked me up," she said. "I wasn't 'upset.' I was throwing a fit. They wanted me to eat something disgusting and when I wouldn't eat it they decided I was anorexic."
My father told her that throwing a fit was probably a bad idea and that she might want to maintain an even keel. One of the nurses from the desk poked her head through the doorway, seemed to count us, and nodded.
"Ten-minute checks." Dora picked at her fingers.
"Someone sticks their head in here and stares at me every ten minutes, even at night." She tugged on the hem of my T-shirt. "What do you think, Lena? Nice place, huh?"
"Great," I said. "It's really elegant."
Dora's expression changed slowly; she almost grinned.
"Let me show you around." She swung her leg over the bed and stood up. "Closet," she said, pointing with a flourish at the wooden cubbies. "For all those up-to-date hospital fashions. And look in the bathroom: no hooks. And no shower rod. They don't want you to hang yourself. I can't even hang up my towel."
My father was standing in front of the window, facing out, even though there was nothing but a parking lot to look at.
"No blinds on the windows," Dora said, still posing like a game-show hostess. "No shoelaces, no razors, no scissors or pencils. No cell phones. No music."
I was waiting for her to say that she didn't need to be there; I was waiting for my parents to tell her it was time to come home.
"I know this is hard," my mother said. "Just do what the doctors and the nurses tell you. We're supposed to meet with the doctor on Wednesday."
"Why aren't we meeting with the doctor until Wednesday?" my father asked without turning around.
"Because," my mother said. Her voice was taut. "That's when they told us we could get an appointment."
Dora sat down on the bed again. She flopped face first against the sheets and let my mother scratch her back. Dora loved to be scratched. "I wanted more clothes," she mumbled. "I thought you would bring some."
"We'll bring them next time," my mother said.
"And I want my hairbrush." Dora's eyes were closed.
"And I want underwear and socks and a pile of T-shirts. And some gum and a book. I need something to read."
"Your father's writing this down," my mother said. My father searched for a pen.
"And bring me a sandwich?" Dora asked. "The food here is terrible."

CHAPTER ONE: Executive Summary
CHAPTER TWO: Therapeutic Nucleic Acid Technologies
CHAPTER THREE: Applications of Nucleic Acid-Based Therapeutics
CHAPTER FOUR: The Markets for Nucleic Acid-Based Therapeutics
The concept of nucleic acid-based therapeutics is not a new one. For a long time it has been thought that molecules similar to those that make up our genetic structure would make effective therapeutics. It is an idea whose time has come.
There are six types of nucleic acid-based therapeutics that have been proposed. Some have made it to market, others are still in development, and some have been put on the back burner due to technical difficulties. The six technologies examined in this study are:
This report focuses on the application of nucleic acid-based therapeutics to the prevention and treatment of various diseases and disorders:
The report examines the options that these new therapeutics present, the progress that is being made in these fields, and the motivations for broader pharmaceutical industry involvement in these markets. The major market effects of nucleic acid-based therapeutics are seen as having the potential to significantly impact the seven major world healthcare markets over the next ten years. The trends selected in conjunction with the growing interest in preventive medicine alone, and gene vaccines specifically, and the application to current health priorities present the most informative picture of advances in this field and the markets that result.
Market analysis for this report considers the various applications of nucleic acid-based therapeutics rather than the markets for specific products in the seven major world healthcare markets:
The analysis presented in this report is based on data from a combination of company, government, industry, institutional, and private sources. It includes information from extensive literature reviews, as well as in-depth interviews and discussions with experts in the field, including medicinal chemists, experts in genetics and genomics, medical professionals, research scientists, business development managers, and marketing managers.

I am trying to determine the level of spatial autocorrelation in a point dataset. The attribute I'm interested in is binary (presence/absence of a species), for which Moran's I is not appropriate. On the other hand, Joint Count statistics, which are typically recommended for binary or categorical data, apparently are not appropriate for point data. In short, the question is thus: what is an appropriate statistic to measure global and/or local spatial autocorrelation of points when the attribute of interest is binary?
Your assertion that a Join-Counts statistic is not appropriate for binary data is not correct. It is just a matter of how the spatial weights matrix (Wij) is specified. As in a Morna's-I, you cannot use a distance matrix in this type of analysis, However, an appropriate binary matrix of contingency can be calculated using a distance cutoff. You can create this type of spatial weights matrix as well as conduct a Join-Count analysis in the R spdep library. See the "joincount.test" and joincount.mc (for Monte Carlo permutation test) functions.
Binary data is a normal use case for spatial autocorrelation. I think most of spatial analysis book will talk about it. This document might be of help.
Your data can be analyzed using "Point Pattern Analysis" techniques. Specifically "Ripley's K" will most likely be best for you.
A good overview is here: http://www.people.vcu.edu/~dbandyop/pubh8472/RipleysK.pdf

The author states this essay to be an attempt to show how far diseases of the nasal cavities may affect asthmatic attacks and to modify the opinion that asthma is the result of a local nasal disease, the care of which would eo ipso cause the disappearance of the reflex neurosis as held by Prof. Hack, of Freiberg. He takes, with Germain-Sée, the position that asthma must be considered as a bulbar neurosis consisting in an excessive reflex irritability of the respiratory centre, which may be disturbed in its action by any competent peripheral irritation, and that nasal diseases sometimes, but not necessarily, constitute such an inciting factor in the asthmatic attack. In his own material he has noted asthma associated with nasal polypæ in 22 per cent, of his cases, and with chronic rhinitis in 8 per cent.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Great plugin, but I was wondering about changing the font size and style of the album title?
For example, on my flickr account I have a set called "dogs". When I use the plugin, the title ("dogs") is in italics and a small font size.
How would I go about changing this?

Students in the University Honors Program are required to complete five honors experiences. There are three types of honors experiences: seminars, pre-approved experiences, and self-designed projects.
Types of Honors Experiences
- Honors seminars - three-credit hour, interdisciplinary courses designed by faculty to engage students in special topics. Open to honors students from all disciplines.
- Pre-approved experiences - a list of co-curricular programs and opportunities vetted by the UHP that include experiential components, facilitate reflection, and encourage integration of learning.
- Self-designed experience - individual projects proposed by students. These can be designed from scratch or students may propose their participation in an existing program they would like to turn into an honors experience.

What better way to celebrate in the summer than with frozen drinks (virgin) and a casino party. To conclude the evening, chips were exchanged for doorprize tickets. Twenty-two gifts were given away in the drawing.

Think it was trollfic; then again, it's entirely likely that someone was just that daft. O_o Anyway; on with the Sue classification!
Even worse to encounter than all the other Sues listed; for the simple reason that Boring!Sue is, well, boring. She doesn't have anything interesting about her at all, her profile will just contain the bare bones; ie, name, age and a power description. She will have hardly any personality; what she does have is dull. However, all canon characters will instantly fall in love with Boring!Sue despite all this, which is what pinpoints her Sueishness.
Fairy, angel and centaur in one... or maybe even more, this Sue is not content with merely being one fantasy type. No, she has to be a mixture of several fantasy types; ignoring all restrictions which would make such a composite impossible. Composite!Sue will have all of the perks of such a union and none of the problems.
Dragon!Sue can go two ways. Either she's a Villain!Sue, but with dragon powers tacked on, or she's a Purity!Sue, of course, with dragon powers tacked on. The second is particularly irritating when she pops up in LOTR fanfic, as it shows that her creator Did Not Do The Research. The first can be annoying when said Sue is completely indestructable, especially in fandoms where dragons can in fact be killed. Oh yeah, and Dragon!Sue NEVER has an all dragon look. She always is a beautiful girl with dragon parts added on, or a dragon shape she can take voluntarily.
In her creator's eyes, Grrrl!Sue is the original feminist. In everyone else's eyes, she's a pain in the neck misandrist who spends her time endlessly belittling the men in the story and kicking any man who dares criticise her in the balls. Grrrl!Sue rarely has a male love interest, she normally has a female one. If she does, then he will be an Uke!Stu, whether he's written that way or not, and will meekly defer to Grrrl!Sue.
