Three weeks after starting with a new coach, Phil Mickelson has a new title to his name. Mickelson shot a 3-under-par 69 at TPC Sawgrass yesterday for a commanding victory at The Players Championship. Sergio Garcia was second, while Tiger Woods finished out of the top 10.
It was Mickelson's first Players title. He spoke to reporters after his round about the victory.
Q. You said yesterday you had won a lot of tournaments with your short game, more than with your ball-striking. Didn't you win it with both really this week?
PHIL MICKELSON: Yeah, what I'd like to do is have four days of ball-striking like today's final round and then it takes a lot of pressure off my short game. It was a very mediocre day for me putting. I could have run it high if I would have made some reasonable putts. I will gladly take the way the round went because it was a stress-free type round.
Q. Have you ever had a win when you've actually -- your swing has been a work in progress through the tournament like this, when you've been working on major changes?
PHIL MICKELSON: Probably. I mean, I look back in the past when I won some of the first couple tournaments of the year in La Costa at '94 and '98, and I remember I was working on things then to start the year and so forth. But it does mean a lot to have the results that I've had immediately with the third, the third and the win because it tells me that I'm on the right path and things that I'm doing are correct. I'm excited about the way my ball-striking seemed to get better as the week went on. It seemed to get better from Dallas to Wachovia, it seemed to get better from Wachovia to here, and so I believe that if I keep working at these things and progressing, I should be ready to take on the ultimate tough challenge at Oakmont.
Q. Butch said you took away one side of the fairway today. Could you talk about that?
PHIL MICKELSON: Yeah, that's our goal is to eliminate half the trouble, absolutely. So then I only have to worry about half of the golf course. That makes it a lot easier.
Q. In hindsight the shot on 10 yesterday, does that take on even greater importance because people remember that shot?
PHIL MICKELSON: Maybe, but the nice thing is I didn't have to have any of those today. That's what I liked (laughter). Sometimes you've got to take risks to win the golf tournament, and a lot of times people will wedge that out and play safe, and they don't put themselves in position to win. If you want to win tournaments against the best players in the world you've got to take some chances like that. The weeks I'm able to pull them off I have a chance at winning and the weeks that I don't, I get ridiculed. But you have to take chances to win.
Q. Was there a sense almost of the last round at Augusta last year? I think you had a little bit of a cushion? I think the only bogey really didn't matter at the end.
PHIL MICKELSON: It looked kind of early similar in that they were both 69, shot 69, was 4-under through 17, ended up bogeying the last hole when I had the tournament in hand, three-shot lead walking up 18. And they both felt great.
Q. Was it any risk at all hitting the hybrid out of the rough on 11, scooting it to the other side of the fairway?
PHIL MICKELSON: Oh, no. It wasn't a risk of -- carrying the water, is that what you're thinking?
Q. No, that club out of the rough, trying to control it to where you wanted it to go on the other side of the fairway.
PHIL MICKELSON: I wasn't worried about it, no. I mean, the lie was fine. I thought that I was just trying to hit it to the left side so I had an easy chip up the slope.
Q. That seemed like somewhat of a turning point, at least before 17, where he was off the tee, where you were, momentum. I wonder if you could talk about that, your shot in and him not getting up-and-down.
PHIL MICKELSON: I hit two bad shots, the tee shots on 11 and 12. 11, it was important to miss the fairway right. I couldn't go left and hit it over those trees out of the rough because I needed to be in the left fairway to have that easy chip up the green. So by missing in the right rough, it was okay. He was in a good spot off the tee and hit a good shot that hit the bank and came back a little bit. I still thought he could get that up-and-down, but it was a little fluffier lie than it looked, and he left it a little short. I don't know if that was really a turning point. Certainly I had a two-shot lead there, but on this golf course it's not like I was thinking, great. I thought I still needed to make some birdies.
Q. And as much as you've talked about aiming for the middle of the green on 17, if you were in his shoes, two shots behind, are you going at that flag?
PHIL MICKELSON: Absolutely, yeah. This was a very tricky shot because when we were walking off 16, 17 was playing straight downwind. When we got to the tee, the wind felt like in the tee box the wind was right in our face and maybe hurting. When he hit the shot, I think he was playing for a little hit of hurt, and halfway up you could see the wind push it and go long. It was a very tricky wind to judge because he hit it right at the pin. If the wind did what it felt like on the tee, he would have been very close to the hole. It would have been a whole different deal.
Q. With what's happened the last ten months, obviously you won three majors. I just wonder how this tournament ranks amongst all of your victories, and if it gives us and you some answers to all those questions we've been asking you.
PHIL MICKELSON: I've tried to answer most of your questions in the past (laughter). What this tells me is I'm on the right path. The things that I'm working on are correct because I've seen progression. It wasn't a hit or miss. It's steadily gotten better the more time I've put into it. This was a great week to have the chance to spend each day with Butch, six days straight, to work on my game, to work on these changes, and consequently as the week wore on, I started to hit it better and better.
Q. You won at Pebble, of course, and almost won at L.A., so weren't you playing very well in that February stretch?
PHIL MICKELSON: Kind of. You know, it wasn't -- I knew even though I won I wasn't hitting it the way I wanted to. I wasn't able to take out half the trouble, I wasn't hitting the iron shots with the trajectory that I wanted, but I was able to get away with it.
Q. Obviously this is a significant victory for you. Can you talk about how excited you are to be able to take this game and the new swing and all the changes into the majors next month?
PHIL MICKELSON: That's what's most exciting is I feel like we're just getting started. This is only week No. 3. I feel like in three months how much am I going to progress? In three years where am I going to be? I've seen an immediate difference in three weeks, and I can't wait for another three weeks to go by and start getting ready for the U.S. Open. And another three or four weeks to go by and get ready for the British. I'm really excited about the direction I'm headed.
Q. Just to follow it up, how much better can you get?
PHIL MICKELSON: You are a cute little man, aren't you (laughter)? I don't know. That's such a good question from a brilliant individual. I don't know (laughter).
Q. You play exciting golf, that last shot to 18 was maybe a little more exciting than you wanted. Can you talk about that? What were you thinking when that ball was in the air? Were you a little nervous about that?
PHIL MICKELSON: I had a three-shot lead. I wasn't too worried about the water. I felt like I could hit one at the green and not blow it way to the right. I just held onto it a little bit. But I wasn't overly disappointed because I tried to eliminate the hook today. I didn't hit one hook. In the second round where I was struggling, I hooked it on 5 in the water, hooked it on 4 in the bunker, I hooked it on 6 in the trees, hooked it on 7 in the bunker, and today I didn't have any. I eliminated that right side, which is the key. What I didn't want to do is step up and hook it to the right. I wanted to stay with my swing.
Q. Forgive me if this has been asked. Can you recall a more airtight round of golf in your career? That was about as efficient as we've ever seen you play.
PHIL MICKELSON: You know, I haven't had a chance to reminisce back on the past 15 years of my career, but it was a good round (laughter). I'd like to get the putter hot. I'd like to imagine what the round would be if the putter was hot.
Q. Two questions. You talked about hitting no hooks today. Are you still drawing the ball on the range in practice? You're not just only hitting fades.
PHIL MICKELSON: No, I'm work it both ways, but for the most part you have to eliminate half the course and today I tried to eliminate the right side.
Q. Do you think you can get to No. 1 in the world and how long do you think it'll take you?
PHIL MICKELSON:I don't know, there's such a big lead in the way the points are that it's a two-year process from whenever somebody starts. But I haven't thought about that yet. I still have a lot of work to get my ball-striking to where I would give myself a chance to try to contend.
Q. I believe it's like four weeks between now and the U.S. Open. How much time will you spend with Butch? And then secondly, at Oakmont, what will you do to prepare from now until that Monday at Oakmont?
PHIL MICKELSON: Well, we'll start preparation for the Open very soon. I'll make a couple of trips up to the course to map out game plan and so forth. And in the meantime I plan on spending some more time with Butch to make sure that in the coming weeks I continue to progress in the changes and the direction we want. There were some swings out there that I could feel get sloppy, I could feel not be what I wanted, and I want to try to correct those.
Q. Do you feel like because of where your game is right now and how you played that if the Open was next week that you would be the favorite?
PHIL MICKELSON: No, I'm not ready for that yet. I do need those three or four weeks to continue to progress and get sharper. I mean, this was -- I struck it today the way I need to, but I didn't do it all four days, and that's what I need to do. I need to be able to hit it like I did today for all four rounds.
Q. At what point, or what was the determining factor where you said, okay, it's time for me to get in great physical shape and Butch Harmon is the missing piece to the puzzle?
PHIL MICKELSON: I don't know if there was a specific time to answer that, but certainly looking forward to '07 and wanting to make '07 a good year, I spent most of the time in the off season getting physically in shape. And then when I started the year the first couple of months and I wasn't striking it the way I wanted to, I felt like I hadn't hit it well since The Masters in '06, it had been about ten months, and I felt like when I got to Augusta and wasn't able to hit it again well after a year, I felt I needed to try something different.
Q. Two hours yesterday and then 90 minutes, an hour this morning before the round. That's a lot, isn't it, to be working on full swing, by normal standards? That's grinding pretty good before a round.
PHIL MICKELSON: I can only imagine the great articles that would come out if you would put that much time into the articles instead of just kicking them out (laughter). I'm just kidding (laughter). No, it's not. I mean, it takes work to hit the ball well and to make changes. It takes time and effort.
Q. I assume --
PHIL MICKELSON: I'm just kidding. You've been kind of a good little -- I guess my pigeon the last couple weeks. I've taken a couple shots at you (laughter).
Q. I assume you're playing Memorial. What's your schedule coming up from the Open?
PHIL MICKELSON: I'll play Memorial, I'm debating on Memphis. I was not planning on playing, but I wasn't happy with the way I played in the Masters not playing the week before, so I'm debating on that tournament still. I'm not sure what I'm going to do there. I'll play the U.S. Open. I'm going to play the week after at Hartford. I'm excited to see the date change at Hartford, move up right behind the U.S. Open.
Q. As a three-time major champion, where do you put the significance of this victory?
PHIL MICKELSON: I don't know exactly today, but I think as I look back on my career after I stop playing, I think I'll look back on this tournament victory in the same light as the majors.
Q. Why can't you do that today?
PHIL MICKELSON: It's hard -- as you're going through your career, I don't really reminisce or look at events like that. I just keep trying to win more and trying to get better, and I think that I won't really look back on this championship until after I stop playing.
Q: Take us through your card real quick. Birdies at 1 and 2?
PHIL MICKELSON: I birdied 1 and 2, hit a good drive on 1 -- well, okay, drive, in the fairway, hit a 9-iron to 25, 30 feet and made that.
Q. I apologize. I wanted to ask you if you've ever felt better about where you are than you do right now, competitively?
PHIL MICKELSON: I'm not where I want to be yet, but I feel like I'm on the right path and so I'm excited about that.
Q. No. 2?
PHIL MICKELSON: No. 2 was a good drive in the fairway, and then a 5-iron that landed in the middle of the green and just went over the fringe, 45 feet, and I two-putted that.
I birdied 7 after a good drive in the fairway there and hit a little 8-iron to about 15 feet, made that. On 11 and 12, my two bad drives. I pulled one in the right rough, chopped a hybrid over there to the left, had 44 yards to the hole and hit a little pitch up the hill to three feet, made that. And then bogeyed 18. I hit a hybrid off the tee, I hit 6-iron just left of the green, not much room there left of the green, but it stayed up, and ended up chipping 15 feet by and missed it.
Q. Aren't you afraid you keep hitting 16 greens you're going to get bored? This is you we're talking about out there.
PHIL MICKELSON: Aren't you afraid to keep asking questions that I'm going to rough you up more?
Q. It's going to give me nothing to write.
PHIL MICKELSON: It was fun. It was a more enjoyable day. I'm actually looking forward to reading your article.

Coming off his thrilling British Open victory over Sergio Garcia in 2007, Padraig Harrington sat down to discuss his game and his chances at the 2008 U.S. Open. "I have spent my last 10 years trying to adapt my swing to play U.S. Open golf," Harrington said. "I'd say the last two years, that and the Masters have attracted my attention more than anything else."

Foreign policy was front and center in the president's State of the Union speech tonight. His guests were members of the armed forces, and by First Lady Laura Bush's side was the President of the Iraqi governing council. While American presidents in an election year have traditionally spent more time touting their domestic programs, this President's most important accomplishment has been to keep the United States safe from terrorist attacks since September 11. In that sense, it was as much a speech on the State of the War on Terrorism as it was a speech on the State of the Union.
Since that fateful day in September, there have been no attacks on U.S. soil, as Mr. Bush reminded us. This is the accomplishment of which the President can be most proud. The Democratic administration that preceded his did not similarly take the terrorist menace seriously, and the result was ever escalating attacks on American targets through the last decade. "Our greatest responsibility is the active defense of the American people," Mr. Bush said. "Twenty-eight months have passed since September 11, 2001 -- over two years without an attack on American soil -- and it is tempting to believe that the danger is behind us. That hope is understandable, comforting -- and false."
Two years ago, in his first State of the Union address, President Bush threw down a challenge to the countries that had formed "an axis of evil" in the world, Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. The phrase was much derided by Mr. Bush's critics both here at home and abroad. It would be appropriate for these same critics to look around the world today after the President's third State of the Union address. Though we continue to face difficulties and dangers in the short term, there can be little doubt that in the long run, the world will be a safer place because of the policies of this President, who has taken the fight to America's enemies, terrorists and rogue dictatorships alike. On September 11, Mr. Bush said, "terrorists declared war on us, and war is what they got."
Taking the long view is exactly what the president has asked the American people to do throughout the war against terrorism. It is not necessarily what we Americans do best, but in this case the American people have risen to the challenge. "We have not come all this way -- through tragedy, and trial, and war -- only to falter and leave our work unfinished. Americans are rising to the tasks of history, and they expect the same of us," the President said.
As Mr. Bush goes into his third year, polls show the majority of Americans are behind his foreign policy and support the intervention in Iraq -- even as U.S. casualties have exceeded 500. Not even the sustained assault of a slew of Democratic presidential candidates has been able to undermine that support. Evidently Americans do agree that some things are worth making sacrifices for. President Bush discussed the extraordinary challenges our country has faced and the historic achievements we have made. "America this evening is a nation called to great responsibilities. And we are rising to meet them..."
Mr. Bush threw down a gauntlet to his critics, answering criticisms made by Democrats, often very directly. There were no apologies here for any of the policy choices the Bush White House has made. His defense was eloquent, and it was tough.
On weapons of mass destruction and the regimes that produce them -- such as that of Saddam Hussein -- Mr. Bush said that "we refuse to live with danger." He cited Libya as the example of a regime that has learned the lesson of Iraq and acted on it. Libya had a uranium enrichment project for nuclear weapons. After nine months of negotiations, Libyan dictator Muammar Qadhaffi gave up his program, having watched Saddam Hussein crawl out of his hole in Iraq and surrender into American hands.
On the question of unilateralism, Mr. Bush answered his critics by citing a long list of countries that have troops on the ground working with the United States. He did, however, make the important point that there is a distinction between internationalism and slavish acceptance of the rulings of the U.N. Security Council. "America will not seek a permission slip from the United Nations," he said, to act in our national interest. This is, of course, in stark contrast to former Vermont governor Howard Dean, who just last week told a radio station that this is precisely what the United States should have had before invading Iraq. (Characteristically, Mr. Dean backtracked on his statement a few days later.)
On bringing democracy to the Middle East, Mr. Bush again stressed that he is very serious about making it happen. Now, it is easy to be skeptical that this grand vision will ever materialize, but there can be no doubt it is a worthy goal, and that the world would certainly be a better place it did. "God has placed in the human heart a desire for freedom," the President said. Instead of a Middle East that is a place of "tyranny and terror," the President's aim is a "democratic peace" in the region. He is doubling the funding for the National Endowment for Democracy, the only program specifically mentioned in this context.
On Iraq, Mr. Bush cited substantial progress, and he reminded us that the United States is indeed safer without Saddam Hussein around -- and his WMD programs of which weapons inspectors have found plentiful evidence. Out of the 55 top cards in the Iraqi deck, 45 have been captured and are in U.S. hands. Iraqis are working side by side with Americans to make their country a better place.
On the Patriot Act, Mr. Bush defended strongly one of the most controversial aspects of the war on terrorism, which will surely become a target in the presidential campaign. Law enforcement needs all the tools it can get to deal with the insidious spread of terror groups within the United States, he said. This is true, yet it is also true that this field will continue to require constant oversight and vigilance against encroachments on Americans' civil liberties.
"We are living in a time of great change," the President said. "Yet some things endure -- courage and compassion, reverence and integrity, respect for differences of faith and race. The values we try to live by never change. And they are instilled in us by fundamental institutions, such as families, and schools, and religious congregations. These institutions -- the unseen pillars of civilization -- must remain strong in America..."
Defending the American homeland without challenging the civil liberties we love will remain one of the President's most difficult challenges.

We have been here before. The vicious anti-Israel boycotters of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement don't like it when the tables are turned on them. That's why, when faculty pass their anti-Israel boycott resolutions, they include in the resolutions the demand that their right to boycott be protected.
Legal Insurrection In other words, boycotters claim the right to boycott others, but deny others the right to boycott them. It's an "academic freedom for me, but not for thee" attitude.
In Europe, in particular, the BDS rhetoric and tactics are so toxic that BDS has become the mother's milk of anti-Semitic violence and threats. In many cities, Walking While Jewish is hazardous to one's health.
But boycotting the boycotters was bound to happen. Israel supporters were not going to be punching bags forever. And forever has arrived.
We have highlighted before proposed federal legislation updating boycott protection for Israel in new trade legislation, including the massive European Union free trade agreement under negotiation. BDS supporters howled that the trade legislation could mean the death of BDS in Europe.
Recent legislation introduced in the House targets the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, whose goal is the destruction of Israel through economic, cultural and academic boycotts.
The legislation, called the United States-Israel Trade and Commercial Enhancement Act, focuses on the "economic" boycott of Israel, expanding upon prior legislation implemented several decades ago in response to the Arab League Boycott of Israel.
The legislation reportedly was intended to force European countries and companies, where the BDS movement has some influence, into adopting anti-BDS policies and procedures as part of a proposed free trade agreement between the European Union and the U.S.
The EU would be forced to choose between a massive free trade agreement which would bring enormous economic benefits to the floundering EU, or the anti-Israel BDS movement. You could have a boost to European economies and employment, or you could have BDS, but you couldn't have both.
The sponsors of the legislation presumably expect Europe to choose prosperity over anti-Israel activism.
Apparently there is a hard punch packed into the mere 12-page legislation, according to BDS activists who are part of a group dedicated to thwarting free trade agreements.
Writing at The Electronic Intifada, an influential anti-Israel portal, the authors sound like the sky will fall on BDS, How EU-US trade deal could thwart "boycott Israel" campaign:
Two members of the US Congress have introduced a bill that would turn a giant trade deal between the EU and US into a devastating weapon against the people of Palestine and all those seeking justice alongside them. Together with the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) that is currently under negotiation, the proposed bill would compel all 28 EU member states to crack down on European groups participating in the growing movement of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
In order to combat the increasing isolation of Israel in global public opinion, European governments would effectively be turned into police agents for the US state.
The proposed US-Israel Trade and Commercial Enhancement Act presented to Congress on 10 February seeks to make any trade deal with Brussels conditional on the EU's willingness to stop European governments, organizations or individuals engaging in BDS actions designed to hold Israel accountable for its responsibilities under international law.
There also is separate federal legislation pending that would require contractors with the U.S. government to certify they are not participating in BDS. There are similar efforts ongoing at the state level.
Look at how Ali Abunimah, one of the most prolific and aggressive anti-Israel boycott advocates who travels from campus to campus advocating various forms of BDS, complains about legislation in Illinois similar to the federal legislation, Illinois law would force state to boycott companies accused of boycotting Israel.
The people of the United States overwhelmingly support Israel. It's not even close.
Now we, the people, are being heard in opposition to the BDS movement not just on campuses, but also through our elected representatives.
In another important move, the Tennessee and Indiana legislatures officially condemned BDS:
Resolutions condemning the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel in the Tennessee and Indiana state legislatures mark what a group of pro-Israel organizations and grassroots activists hope is just the start of a new trend in fighting BDS on American soil.
The Tennessee General Assembly on April 21 became the first state legislature in the U.S. to formally condemn the BDS movement through the passage of Senate Joint Resolution 170. The resolution was initiated by Laurie Cardoza-Moore, founder of the Christian Zionist group Proclaiming Justice to the Nations (PJTN). Cardoza-Moore worked with local Jewish and Christian organizations to bring the resolution to the state legislature.
After years of being a boycott punching bag, supporters of Israel are fighting back.
And don't think the fight won't come to academia if BDS continues to rip at the fabric of academic freedom and the free exchange of ideas through its boycotts.
The easy days for BDS are over.
Canada, too, is considering using hate-crime laws against anti-Israel boycotters:

For many collectors wine is a significant asset. Every auction house offers a slightly different approach to selling so the decision about where to sell must be considered carefully. Asking the right questions on the front end will help lead to a positive experience and an improved financial return for your cellar. Here are several key things to keep in mind during this process:
- Hammer vs. aggregate: When discussing a potential consignment or looking at historical auction data, it is important to know the difference between the hammer price and the aggregate price. The hammer price refers to the final price that is stated during an auction (i.e., going once, going twice, sold!). The aggregate price is the hammer price plus the buyer's premium, which ranges from 19.5% to 22.0% in our business. Here, for example, both the hammer and the aggregate are listed. In press releases, however, the price listed is almost always the aggregate. Because the buyer's premium percentage can vary, it is important to look at hammer data to get an apples-to-apples comparison. Evaluating hammer numbers will help you more accurately determine what you will net through a consignment.
- Percentage to low: This may be the most important question you ask when preparing to sell your wine. Percentage to low figures tell you what prices the auction house actually achieves, as opposed to the pre-sale estimated value. When speaking with my clients I always equate this to the real estate market: the listed price on a house is often very different than the actual selling price. A high estimate can look good on paper, but where does that auction house statistically hammer? Some houses come in close to the low estimate while others consistently hammer at the midpoint of their estimates. Let's say house A estimates a wine will sell at $1,000-1,500 and its historical percentage to low is 125% (100% being the low estimate and 150% being the high estimate). Compare House A to House B, which estimates the wine will sell at $1,200-1,800 but its percentage to low is just 100%. The hammer for house A will be $1,250 while the hammer for house B would be $1,200. A higher estimate does not guarantee a higher hammer.
- Sell through rate: If a wine does not meet the mutually-agreed-upon reserve price, then it will "pass" and go unsold. Sell through rate is a measure that looks at the percentage of wines that sell at or above the reserve amount. If your wine goes to auction and does not sell, it creates a headache for you and delays your ability to recoup your investment. Ask each potential house the following questions: What is your sell through rate? What happens if my wine passes? Will it go into the next auction? Will I be charged a fee for passed lots? Will my wine be sold at set prices privately? Finding a house with a high sell through rate is advantageous as it reduces the headache of dealing with unsold lots. Additionally, it means the house has accurate estimates. Too many unsold lots mean the auction house has inflated estimates and/or does not have a broad and vibrant bidding base.
- Fees: Commission or "seller's fee" is the percentage the auction house takes off the hammer price. But commission is not the only expense that an auction house may charge. Read through the contract carefully and ask if there are any "hidden fees" about which you should be aware. Who is covering the cost of insurance? Who is responsible for the shipping expense? Can the auction house remove wines for tasting without your consent? Are there inspection fees? An auction house might offer 0% commission but if they charge 1.5% off the hammer for insurance then the effect to the seller is the same as charging commission. Ultimately, the most important factor to the seller is the hammer price. Any fees associated with your consignment will be derived from that number. The best way to get a high return is to find an auction house that has data to support a history of strong hammer prices.
- Payouts: Not all consignors ask the question but it is important to know the terms of your contact. When will you receive your payment for auction or retail sales? Will you be paid in full or will you be paid in periodic installments? Again, wine is often a significant part of a collector's financial portfolio; you need to know you are going to be paid promptly.
An auction house should have the numbers and data to back up its appraisals and the house should also take care of you. Find a house that will get you top dollar and treat you and your collection with the respect it deserves. It also never hurts to ask the auction house for a referral.
Additionally, there is plenty of public data available about House performance (company web sites, news articles, etc). Wine Spectator is also a great source for auction performance (information can be found here).
HDH is always willing to provide a complimentary appraisal for your wines. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with your list of wines or give us a call at 312.379.8712 to discuss any of the questions listed above in more detail.

This article reflects about current and future role of Accounting Information Systems by analysing the main responsibilities of accountants and financial professionals. While several of these responsibilities are already suitably supported by traditional technology answers, others represent challenges that do still not have appropriate responses and therefore deserve to be the focus of future research. This work foresees future technological answers to Accounting domain challenges, like external and compliance reporting. The identified technologies include web services, mobile devices, cloud computing, environmental scanning, business intelligence, enterprise application integration, business process management, computer assisted auditing tools and techniques and big data.

Master mechanic Denise Conroy - with a reputation for being as steel-clad as the aircraft she keeps aloft - shuns useless flyboys who don't know one end of a wrench from the other. Firehawk pilot Vern Taylor - known for unstoppable charm and a complete lack of mechanical skills - proves his talent for out-of-the-box thinking with every flight. He's a survivor and a natural-born heli-aviation firefighter. When Denise and Vern crash together in the Central American jungle with wildfire on one side and a full-fledged military coup on the other, their newly forged partnership is tested to the max. They have each other, but not even their formidable skills combined can protect Denise and Vern from the conflagration sweeping the jungle...and their hearts.

Essay - Anxiety Disorders Abstract Anxiety Disorders are a Varied and Complicated...
Anxiety Disorders
***** disorders are a varied and complicated set of physical and psychological problems that affect more than twenty million Americans. The disorders, which include general anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorders, ***** phobias, can *****ten exert a disabling influence upon the individual's life, and disrupt his or her personal ***** social interactions. Treatments focus ***** helping the individual to identify and understand the irrationality of their anxiety, and to assist them in facing up to their fears.
Anxiety is, "one of the main motivating forces in much ***** human behavior" (Beck & Emery, 1985, p. 13), ***** ***** a norm*****l reaction to a thre*****tening object or situation. It ********** a wide range of physiological and psychological effects that are *****ten described as preparing the body for primitive 'fight or flight'. ********** symptoms result from the increased amount of adrenaline that is produced by the sympathetic nervous system, ***** causes an increase in the heart ***** respiration rate, the ra*****ing of blood pressure, and the contraction of ***** vessels in the skin ***** intestines as blood is diverted to the heart, lungs and muscles (P.H.R., 1997). Although these reactions are appropriate when faced with incidents of threat ***** danger, if t***** level of anxiety continues after the threat has been removed, or if no real ***** exists, ***** physical and psychological symptoms can lead to the development of anxiety dis*****ders.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are described as," various combinations ***** physical and mental manifestations of anxiety, not attributable to real danger, ***** occurring eit***** in attacks or as a persisting state" (Sainsbury, 1980, p. 215).

Tzolkin Trecena Notes – 1 Dog (OC)
Day 170 of the 260 Day Tzolkin
Gregorian Date: September 17, 2013
Year Bearer: 1 - Wind (IK)
Trecenas are thirteen-day periods in the Tzolkin. Each Trecena starts with the Number 1, but with a different Day Glyph. As a wave of the Thirteen Heavens, the underlying energy is governed by the First Day Glyph of the Trecena and influences all thirteen successive Day Glyphs. Being aware of the predominant energy of the First Day of the Trecena, we can align our intentions with that energy and allow our goals to manifest.
This Trecena starts with 1 Oc (Dog) – Loyal, Valiant Protector, Warm-hearted, Generous, Faithful Companion through Darkness.
The Classic Mayan hieroglyph for Oc is the face of a dog, and in Mayan mythology, Dog carries a torch and guides humans on their journey through the dark Underworld. Dog symbolizes guidance, loyalty, companionship, consistency, and commitment. The Yucatec Mayan name for this sign literally means door, portal or gateway and symbolizes the journey we all make from one world to the other, not only in death but also as we transform inwardly and rebirth ourselves. Thus Dog, as our Underworld companion and guide through darkness, represents faith and loyalty surviving even after death.
According to Carlos Barrios, The Book of Destiny, Oc is the guardian of material and spiritual law. "It is a sign of both earthly and cosmic law and authority. It is justice and the day that brings the truth to light. It symbolizes fidelity, order, and precision and is represented by the cosmic authorities whose energy is on the Earth, whether in the form of people or places." The Classic Mayans were given laws known as the Natural Order to govern their world. These laws were practical and based on the harmony that reigns in nature. So, Oc was a day to correct mistakes and disclose the truth in order to attain balance in every spiritual and material sense, and thus, attain peace. This seems to signal another signpost that humanity needs to again resonate with this Natural Order to attain a peaceful existence for all on planet Earth.
Another representation of the Trecena is that of a creative wave beginning at 1 and ending at 13, with the numbers 6, 7 and 8 representing the crest of the wave. The crest could be interpreted as a strong influential energy, although the underlying influence on the Trecena would still rest in the beginning. In this Trecena, the crest falls on 6 Men (Eagle), 7 Cib (Vulture/Owl) and 8 Caban (Earth). Eagle allows us to view a higher perspective of the transformation and rebalancing taking place between earth and humanity as we learn to live in harmony and peace. With Oc illuminating the pathway, we can rest assured that we are not alone and have nothing to fear on our journey.
As we journey through each day of this Trecena:
Utilize the courageous energy of Oc to illuminate faith and hope in order to dispel dark shadows on our journey. The energy of Oc has the ability to cut through veils and open doorways, and the strength to eliminate negative energy simply by the power of thought.
The intention of this program is to create a platform for dialogue about our perceptions of the energies of the Mayan sacred calendar and the Mayan Cross. Using a variety of formats including guest speakers, panel discussions, testimonials, etc. we will explore how best to work with the Mayan sacred calendar in a modern context.

Common was in town and I was super up-close. Loved it!
Common in Montreal
Filed under Uncategorized
Final project
Last week I pitched a story about sleep but after much thought, I realized I really wouldn't have enough time before the end of term to do all the research, including sleeping at sleep clinics. But I did come up with a great idea.
On Monday, there was the anti-police brutality march and I was there from beginning to end, shooting photos for my photojournalism class. I took about a hundred photos and some of them are actually ok! After learning a lot about sound slides with Lisa Lynch in class, I was thinking my final project could be a soundslide of the march. I have my eyewitness account of the events that took place, I got the phone number of a protestor who was there and couldn't give me an interview right away because he was busy getting arrested. I also have some ambient noise, as in the crowd.
I really think this could make a great soundslide. While the beginning of the march was relatively peaceful, it got a bit crazier and crazier until shit hit the fan. I was a bit careless about getting too close and had several confrontations with policeman. They didn't care if I was student, a journalist or a protestor…everybody was the same to them. I'm looking forward to.
Original photographs, original sound bites, original editing. Looks exciting.
Multimedia story pitch
Next week in class is "story pitchfest" which involves, you guessed it, pitching a story to the class. But this isn't a regular, "I have a story to pitch for your magazine", pitch. It's for online class and involves pitching a multimedia package, such as the one above (Globe and Mail's Talking to the Taliban…hey, a png file!). My pitch won't be as extreme as that, I'm not going to do a "My one-night-stand with Osama Bin Laden" (although would be hilarious and gross and widely read about). But as you can see, a multimedia package involves written articles, videos, discussions, perhaps a podcast and photos. It tells a whole story from conflict to resolution. I want to pitch a story that I could actually do, not a war story or a natural disaster thing. So what should I do?
Things I like: reading (not so exciting), playing video games (could find a potential angle there), playing sports (ooohhh, following a team? Been done), sleeping (boring). BUT there is a story in everything! I might find just a multimedia package about me sleeping boring but it's not entirely boring. I could uncover the science of sleep with me as the subject. I could go to a sleep clinic and get footage of my sleeping (a little creepy) with the signals overlayed on the screen (in fast forward) of the various stages of sleep I go through. THAT would be cool. Hmm. I like this idea. Things to keep in mind (quoting directly from Webs: "Remember to think about what equipment you might need, and include that in your pitch, as well as possible sources, possible further avenues of research, and possible hurdles. How might you build interactivity into your piece? Who is your target audience? Are there any legal issues you can think of?"
I'm excited. From one-night-stands to actually sleeping. I think that's my story pitch idea right there.

Multi-Platform Journalism
So for my online magazine course, another prof in the journalism department, Lisa Lynch, came in to talk to us about Multi-Platform Journalism. It's basically what all journalists will have to get used to: working across many platforms.
What does that mean exactly? Well, let's use a local example. Frank Cavallaro is the weatherman for CBC Montreal. Of course, weather people are becoming more and more than just somebody to let you know if it's going to rain or not. They interact with the hosts, and if you actually watch CBC News from 5:30 to 7:00, you'll see more of Frank than any other reporter or anchor! But Frank is a multi-platform weatherman. He is not only seen on your television, but he is heard on the radio as well. Frank is always on the go. That's multi-platform, sort of. Radio to Television is still broadcast but Frank also occasionally writes for local papers…about the weather. He is a versatile man, that Frank.
Journalists are going to have to do this more and more. If you're a print journalist, be ready to write for the Internet (vrery different than how it's written in a newspaper), upload your interviews to a site and sometimes even film. My week at the CBC showed me that, you may be known as a reporter for CBC News Radio, but at the same time, you are grabbing a cameraman and feeding back to the TV news, or writing something for the CBC website.
The ultimate multi-platform journalist? One that writes a story for the paper, for the website, records interviews for radio, videotapes the event for TV, tweets, Facebooks and YouTubes, as well as eating, going to the bathroom and sleeping…ALL AT THE SAME TIME. It's possible, I'm sure. There's a YouTube video of that stunt somewhere.
The iPad and similar gadgets' role in journalism
The Apple iPad came out last week and all over the journalism world, people are asking what effect this while have on our jobs. The Kindle, the Sony Reader, and the iPad are all available to the public, will this help print journalism or cause problems? Well, depends on what you mean by print journalism. Emphasis on print? Well, obviously the readers won't help there. But when it comes to distribution, I think more people will be reading thanks to these puppies and that can only mean good things for the newspapers that offer subscriptions.
Many professionals have their own opinions. Read about it here and here. My take on it is simple: We are constantly adapting. Every minute, some new technology is created and we adjust to it. Journalism is not dying, folks. Every couple years, journalism has to re-adapt to what's going on around it. When radio was created, nobody thought we'd still be reading newspapers. When TV arrived, radio was dying…decades later, radio is still around. So maybe print journalism has hit a rough patch, yes. And maybe the future does not include a tangible, recyclable paper in our hands. But journalism—the distribution of news—will not die. People need it. We just can't be stuck in the past. We have to less stubborn and constantly changing to keep up with the faster world that is technology. The iPad (with it's dumbass feminine hygiene-esque name) will not KILL journalism. Well, unless it mutates and grows hairy arms and legs and kills every living human alive. Then yes, if the earth is no longer, neither is journalism.

News package
Natalie and I had a week to put together a package, which is generous because CBC or CTV reporters usually have less than five hours! Nonetheless, I still managed to complain, haha. Here is the end product, no supers included as it will be made into a newscast and production does that. As our prof said, it needs work, ha!

This owner has been building boats for decades on the Coast of Maine and has owned steel hulled boats for over 25 years, "And it Shows"! She has delivered owner and family safely around the world and is now proudly offered for sale.
Danza is a sistership to the original British Steel which Chay Blyth made famous when he sailed her around the world against the wind south of all the major southern capes in 1970. Danza was built in Cape Town, South Africa by Saum Globe and launched in 1985. After her launching she was sailed to America and sold and was then used as a school ship based in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her trips included a counterclockwise circumnavigation of South America, a trip up the coast of Labrador, and a trip to Portugal and back as well as innumerable voyages within the Caribbean. She was lead ship in the New York City Tall Ships Parade in 1992 commemorating the first voyage of Christopher Columbus.
We purchased Danza in March of 1999 and sailed her to Maine where she underwent a total refit in my boatyard, known then as David Nutt Boatbuilder, Inc. I had made a life long career in the boatbuilding business and had previously sailed many thousands of miles offshore. I knew what we wanted in a boat in terms of equipment, layout and my company and personnel were the obvious choice to do this work.
The interior was essentially gutted with the removal of the engine and shaft, galley, heads, much of the joiner work, electronics, all electrical wiring, cabin soles, and overhead liners. The masts and all the deck hardware including the extruded aluminum toe rail were removed. Every through hull fitting was removed and welded over. New through hull fittings of 316L stainless steel were welded in place to suit the changes in her layout and to eliminate the use of any of the original bronze fittings in her steel hull. The hull was cleaned and painted on the interior.
The original engine was replaced with a new Yanmar 4JH3-TBE 125hp turbo diesel with a KMH4A transmission. The new shaft system is a 1.5 inch Aquamet 22 stainless steel shaft coupled to the transmission with an R&D Flexible Shaft Coupling and new cutlass bearings. The propeller is an AutoProp automatic variable pitch propeller. The engine drives a 135 amp 24 volt Balmar alternator with a Balmar 3 step regulator. It also drives a Balmar dual output 12 volt alternator that charges the 12v starting battery and the 12v ships battery independently of each other, again regulated by a Balmar 3 step regulator.

The 55kg Rocna anchor is the primary anchor with 90m/300feet of 12mm/½" Acco G-4 chain both of which were new in 2000. The chain and anchor were regalvanized it in Australia and are in essentially new condition. The windlass is a Lewmar Ocean 3. There are raise/lower switches on the foredeck and in the cockpit.
Also carried is a 50 kg Bruce, a 65# CQR and a 30kg Bruce, 35# Danforth. Aboard are two ¾" 3 strand nylon rodes and several long pieces of ½" chain.
The salt water washdown pump has an outlet on the foredeck for the anchor washdown as well as an outlet in the cockpit, used for deck washdown or cleaning fish.
Installed on the foredeck are spray rails to deflect washwater from the anchor chain directly overboard before it has a chance to run the length of the boat.

Danza is ketch rigged with a double headsail sail plan. The roller furling systems are the well proven Profurl on both the jib and the staysail. The main and mizzen are fully battened and the main runs on the Antal track and car system. The main has 3 reef points and lazy jacks; the mizzen has 2 reef points and drops into a 'Stackpack'. Both a spinnaker and an asymmetrical gennaker are used for off wind sailing. They are housed in an ATN sock. For additional sail area when reaching there is a mizzen staysail. There is a simple removable 'bowsprit' to which attaches the tack of the asymmetrical and the pole guys which making all of these lines much easier to handle and clears them from the pulpit. There are two spinnaker poles.
The ketch rig is an outstanding choice for cruising on boats longer than 15m/50ft. None of the sails are particularly big or difficult to handle. The double headsail rig with its jib and staysail are an important part of the equation because you can furl the jib and still have the staysail in action.
The sails were reconditioned in 2016 including upgraded batten pockets on the main, new sunshields on both the staysl and the jib. A new sail cover is on the main and a new stackpack is on the mizzen.
The 2 dodgers and other canvas work including the cockpit enclosure were replaced in the fall of 2015.

The electrical system was replaced in its entirety including all of the wiring. She is set up with a 12v system to handle the many items such as propane solenoids, stereo systems, and Icom's vhf and ssb radios and some other electronics that are not readily available in 24v. The rest of the DC systems are 24v. This includes lighting, autopilot, many of the electronics, and all of the pumping systems. The AC system is based on 110v 60Hz. It revolves around the Trace Engineering 4kw Charger/Inverter SW4024 that draws its power from the 24v battery bank and the Northern Lights M673 5.5Kw generator. The Sea Recovery Aqua Whisper water maker, the Sea Frost BG1000 and SA-II refrigeration systems, the microwave and other small appliances all run on 110v. A 24v 135 amp Balmar alternator is belted off the Yanmar and is regulated with Balmar's BRS-ll-24 regulator. There is also an 85 amp dual output 12v Balmar alternator to charge the 12v battery bank and the engine start battery, regulated by a Balmar 3 step regulator. The alternator on the generator charges the genset start battery. There is a 24v wind generator and the two 75 watt solar panels wired in series producing 24v.
All electrical systems can be charged or operated using the generator as an electrical supply source in conjunction with the Trace 4KW inverter. Likewise, in the event of a generator failure, all electrical systems can be can be charged or operated using the alternators run off the Yanmar engine in conjunction with the Trace 4kw inverter.
The 110v 60Hz shore power charges the 24v bank through the Trace Inverter/Charger. A Professional Mariner 35 amp charger that operates between 90 and 270vac, 50/60HZ charges the batteries while dockside in marinas that provide 220-240 50HZ power. It would also work with 110v 60Hz power as a backup.

The original steering system was replaced during the refit with a new Whitlock system. (Whitlock is now owned by Lewmar.) One of the big features of the Whitlock system is their autopilot drive motor which interfaces with the drive gearbox via a splined shaft. The drive motor is incredibly efficient and powerful and may well be the best drive system available. The brains of the autopilot are the Simrad Robertson J300X control box, the AP20 display head, and their RFC35R Rate Compass. The system has worked flawlessly and never have we had to take over due to rough conditions.
The refrigerator is approximately 10 cubic feet/300 liters and the freezer is 4 cu feet/120 liters and holds up to 160lbs/75kg of frozen meat and vegetables. The system is kept cold with the Sea Frost BG1000, which was new in 2000. It is a 110v water cooled system and has worked perfectly. Carried with it are normal spares and gauges. This system is backed up with the Sea Frost SA2, also new in 2000. This is an air cooled system and can be used in all situations including during a haulout.
The propane stove is the Broadwater Schooner with a 4 burner top, broiler and thermostatic oven. The stove was 100% reconditioned in 2002 at the factory in Australia. It is probably the best marine stove available. There is a solenoid shut off switch in the galley and independent propane alarms in both the propane locker and the main bilge area below the stove.
The sink is amidships with hot/cold pressure water and foot pump cold water. There is a coldwater tap that draws from a tank in the refrigerator providing an eternal source of cold water.
The galley is comfortable, easy to cook in and keep clean and works well.

The outboard motor, a 15hp Yamaha F15MSHX 4 stroke, manufactured 07/98, was purchased new 2000. This has been reliable and is very fuel efficient and quiet.
During the extensive refit in 2000 I was successful in keeping systems aboard Danza accessible and easy to maintain. As a result any routine or required maintenance has been done with no undue effort. We have maintained Danza to very high standards. That is how we maintain Danza. We take of her – she takes care of us.
Danza has met our needs and then some 45,000 miles of sailing over the past 5 years. We have sailed in all kinds of weather and anchored in all kinds of conditions. She has been our home where we have raised our 4 children. She has been very comfortable for us and there is little we would have done to change our lives during our circumnavigation. Danza truly is a voyaging yacht.

A beautiful and strong-headed young woman from a middle-class merchant family is abducted into geisha work and forcibly tattooed with the image of a fearsome spider. Hell-bent on avenging herself on every man who makes a play for her, she takes advantage of her situation to wreak bloody vengeance Garish and perverse and gleefully proud of it, and striking in its linking of sexuality and violence, the film is also infused with wonderful black humour and a visual style and beauty that is astonishing. Adapted by Kaneto Shindo from the acclaimed 1910 short story by Junichiro Tanizaki. Starring Masumura regular Ayako Wakao (RED ANGEL, MANJI). A dazzling tale of love, lust and the extremes of desire, this is another twisted masterpiece from the director of Blind Beast, Manji and Red Angel.

Nayan Early Origins
Lincolnshire where one of the first records of the name was Richard le Naim who was listed in the Pipe Rolls of that shire (1170-1178.) A few years later, John Nepos, le Neim was listed in the Curia Regis Rolls for Surrey in 1214. In Worcestershire, John le Neim (c. 1280) and John le Naym (1327) were listed in the Subsidy Rolls. Year later, John Naym was listed in the Inquisitions and Assessments relating to Feudal Aids in 1431. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Nayan Spelling Variations
Nayan Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Nayan are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Nayan include: Neame, Neeme, Neam, Neem, Neme, Name and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Nayan or a variant listed above: the name represented in many forms and recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..

rrdUtils is a set of tools intended to help creation and graphing of RRD files. It is based on plain text configuration files where the RRD files are described (datasources, intervals, etc.) along with the nodes which the RRD applies to. It includes a command to create a set of similar RRDs, and another to graph them in some medium-weight elaborate ways.
Stats Collector is a set of tools intended to get statistical values from remote nodes. This covers standard server metrics as well as any other numerical value that might be useful, such as the number of running processes or users. It is constructed using a distributed agent-manager model, and uses RRDtool as data backend and to provide visualization capabilities.
repomirror is a tool to create local mirrors (partial or complete) of Linux distributions and repositories. It currently support Debian derivatives (both apt and simple repositories) and yum repositories. It has been tested with Debian, Fedora, CentOS, openSUSE, and OpenWrt feeds. It is also able to build repositories for local packages, although currently in a very limited fashion.
