League of Women Voters forum focuses on water law

The demand for water is growing.
Eastern Clallam County is known for its farming and its appeal to retirees and young families looking for a beautiful place to live. The result is beginning to look like too many straws in a cup of water, according to water law experts at a Sept. 25 League of Women Voters of Clallam County meeting
They said water supplies increasingly have been stressed over the years and due to pending regulations on the area's water supply, many eyes have turned to reading water law.
"It's extremely complicated. It isn't necessarily fair. But knowing the basics will help you understand the reasoning behind pending regulations, such as the instream flow rule," said Shirley Nixon, an environmental law attorney with experience in water law, to the league.
The state Department of Ecology is in charge of making sure people have water. Its representatives track existing water rights to make sure new allocations will not infringe on the senior right holders' ability to get water.
"Seniority is a very important part of this because a senior right holder will essentially have the ability to turn off junior users," Nixon said. "Interruptible rights are being awarded. This is where things tend to collide in terms of growth, water law and new, pending regulations."
The new regulation is called an instream flow rule. The rule is in its formation stage, with Ecology representatives and local stakeholders weighing in on its details, which essentially will give the Dungeness River a water right.
The river's right will restrict junior water right holders from pulling from its supply when it reaches flows near or below what is scientifically determined to be the level needed to support aquatic life, especially threatened salmonid species.
Each new development needs to demonstrate that there is sufficient water available in order to build, something that may become a bit more complicated after 2009, when the rule is expected to be passed.
Clallam County Environmental Health director Andy Brastad said the county's planning counter is where the crash course in water law often happens.
"It comes into reality when someone is at our counter and we are trying to explain the list of things they need to do to build their home," Brastad said, indicating the county cannot put up gates to keep transplants out.
"So how do you allow new people to come in, protect senior water rights and make sure there is enough water in the river? That is something this process is trying to address."
Planners said the junior right holders wouldn't see their faucet turned off in the middle of washing dishes, but rather they need to demonstrate how they are mitigating the water use that may begin to infringe on senior right holders.
The mechanisms and details have not been nailed down, but conservation, a water exchange, drilling deeper, community wells and storing water during high-flow times may be feasible solutions.
"Think of water rights like a ferry line and you have the right to a 40-foot (recreational vehicle) but you drove a Toyota Prius instead," Nixon said. "Under water law you would be able to sell that remaining 20 feet to someone without a right, so you both get to ride the ferry or use water."
While mechanisms for maintaining the availability of water are being identified and studied, another contentious issue is being debated - the rule's priority date.
Legislation identifies the fallback date to be in 2000, meaning hundreds of rights awarded over the past eight years would be junior to the instream rule. However, that date can be changed to the date the rule is adopted, likely to be in 2009, either through a unanimous vote of the Dungeness River Management Team or possibly through a legal ruling.

Wilhelm Friedemann Bach
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (22 November 1710 – 1 July 1784), the second child and eldest son of Johann Sebastian Bach and Maria Barbara Bach, was a German composer and performer. Despite his acknowledged genius as an organist, improviser and composer, his income and employment were unstable and he died in poverty.
Wilhelm Friedemann (hereafter Friedemann) was born in Weimar, where his father was employed as organist and chamber musician to the Duke of Saxe-Weimar. In July 1720, when Friedemann was nine, his mother Maria Barbara Bach died suddenly; Johann Sebastian Bach remarried in December of 1721. J. S. Bach supervised Friedemann's musical education and career with great attention. The graded course of keyboard studies and composition that J. S. Bach provided is documented in the Clavier-Büchlein vor Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (modern spelling: Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach), with entries by both father and son. This education also included (parts of) the French Suites, (Two-Part) Inventions, (Three-Part) Sinfonias (popularly known as "Inventions"), the first volume of The Well-Tempered Clavier, and the six Trio Sonatas for organ. At the age of 16 he went to Merseburg to learn the violin with his teacher Johann Gottlieb Graun.
In addition to his musical training, Friedemann received formal schooling beginning in Weimar. When J.S. Bach took the post of Cantor of the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig (in 1723), he enrolled Friedemann in the associated Thomasschule. (J.S. Bach—who had himself been orphaned at the age of 10—said that he took the position in Leipzig partly because of the educational opportunities it afforded his children). On graduating in 1729, Friedemann enrolled as a law student in Leipzig University, a renowned institution at the time, but later moved on to study law and mathematics at the University of Halle. He maintained a lifelong interest in mathematics, and continued to study it privately during his first job in Dresden.
Friedemann was appointed in 1733 to the position of organist of the St. Sophia's Church at Dresden. In competing for the post he played a new version of his father's Prelude and Fugue in G Major, BWV 541. The judge described Friedemann as clearly superior to the other two candidates. He remained a renowned organist throughout his life. Among his many pupils in Dresden was Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, the keyboardist whose name is erroneously enshrined in the popular nickname given to J. S. Bach's 1742 publication, "Aria with Diverse Variations"—that is, "The Goldberg Variations." The scholar Peter Williams has discredited the story linking the work to Goldberg, stating that J. S. Bach wrote the work for the Russian Ambassador Count Hermann Carl von Keyserlingk, who would ask his employee, Goldberg, to play variations for him to ward off insomnia. Williams instead has argued that J.S. Bach wrote the variations to provide a display piece for Friedemann.[1]
In 1746 Friedemann became organist of the Liebfrauenkirche at Halle. In 1751, Friedemann married Dorothea Elisabeth Georgi (1721–1791), who was 11 years his junior and who outlived him by seven years. Dorothea was the daughter of a tax collector. The landed estates she inherited caused the family to be placed in a high tax bracket by Halle authorities, who were raising taxes to meet the revenue demands of the Seven Years War. To raise cash for these payments, she sold part of her property in 1770. The couple produced two sons and a daughter, Friederica Sophia (born in 1757), who was the only one of their offspring to live past infancy. The descendents of Friederica Sophia eventually migrated to Oklahoma.[2]
Friedemann was deeply unhappy in Halle almost from the beginning of his tenure. In 1749 he was involved in a conflict with the Cantor of the Liebfrauenkirche, Gottfried Mittag, who had misappropriated funds that were due to Friedemann. In 1750 the church authorities reprimanded Friedemann for overstaying a leave of absence (he was in Leipzig settling his father's estate). In 1753 he made his first documented attempt to find another post, and thereafter made several others. All these attempts failed. Bach had at least two pupils, Friedrich Wilhelm Rust and Johann Samuel Petri.
In 1762, he negotiated for the post of Kapellmeister to the court of Darmstadt; although he protracted the negotiations for reasons that are opaque to historians and did not actively take the post, he nevertheless was appointed "Hofkapellmeister of Hessen-Darmstadt", a title he used in the dedication of his Harpsichord Concerto in E minor.
In June 1764, Friedemann left the job in Halle without any employment secured elsewhere. His financial situation deteriorated so much that in 1768 he re-applied for his old job in Halle, without success. He thereafter supported himself by teaching; not surprisingly, he died in penury. After leaving Halle in 1770, he lived for several years (1771–1774) in Braunschweig where he applied in vain for the post of an organist at the St. Catherine's church. Then he moved to Berlin, where he initially was welcomed by the princess Anna Amalia (the sister of Frederick the Great), but later fell into disgrace under still opaque circumstances. He died in Berlin.
Earlier biographers have concluded that his "wayward" and difficult personality reduced his ability to gain and hold secure employment, but the scholar David Schulenberg writes (in the Oxford Composer Companion: J.S. Bach, ed. Malcolm Boyd, 1999) that "he may also have been affected by changing social conditions that made it difficult for a self-possessed virtuoso to succeed in a church- or court-related position" (p. 39). Schulenberg adds, "he was evidently less willing than most younger contemporaries to compose fashionable, readily accessible music".
Friedemann Bach was renowned for his improvisatory skills. It is speculated that when in Leipzig his father's accomplishments set so high a bar that he focused on improvisation rather than composition. Evidence adduced for this speculation includes the fact that his compositional output increased in Dresden and Halle.
Friedemann's compositions include many church cantatas and instrumental works, of which the most notable are the fugues, polonaises and fantasias for clavier, and the duets for two flutes. He incorporated more elements of the contrapuntal style learned from his father than any of his three composer brothers, but his use of the style has an individualistic and improvisatory edge which endeared his work to musicians of the late 19th century, when there was something of a revival of his reputation.
Friedemann's students included Johann Nikolaus Forkel, who in 1802 published the first biography of Johann Sebastian Bach; Friedemann, as well as his younger brother Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, were major informants for Forkel. Friedemann has in earlier biographies been called a poor custodian of his father's musical manuscripts, many of which he inherited; however, more recent scholars are uncertain how many were lost. It is known that Friedemann sold some of his father's collection to raise cash to pay debts (including a large sale in 1759 to Johann Georg Nacke). Also, his daughter took some of the Sebastian Bach manuscripts with her when she moved to America, and these were passed on to her descendants, who inadvertently destroyed many of them. Others were passed on through his only known Berlin pupil, Sarah Itzig Levy, the daughter of a prominent Jewish family in Berlin and great-aunt of Felix Mendelssohn; it was she who gave Mendelssohn the manuscript of the St. Matthew Passion, which she had received from Friedemann. Some of his scores were collected by Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch and his pupil Carl Friedrich Zelter, the teacher of Felix Mendelssohn and through them these materials were placed in the library of the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin, which Fasch founded in 1791 and Zelter took charge of in 1800.
Friedemann is known occasionally to have claimed credit for music written by his father, but this was in keeping with common musical practices in the era.
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach is not to be confused with Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst Bach, his nephew, also a composer. Friedemann himself may have been one of the models for Diderot's philosophical dialogue Rameau's Nephew (Le Neveu de Rameau).
In 1941 he was the subject of a biopic Friedemann Bach (1941) directed by Traugott Müller and starring Gustaf Gründgens as Wilhelm Friedemann and Eugen Klöpfer as his father, Johann Sebastian.

- In Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's set of six Prelude and Fugues for string trio, K. 404a, contains five fugues transcribed from The Well-Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach while the sixth fugue in F minor, is a transcription of one of the Eight Fugues (Falck 31) of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. The preludes in K. 404a are Mozart's own, except for 4 (from BWV 527) and 5 (second movement from BWV 526).

Born in Iowa in 1918, Pauline Phillips, better known by the pen name "Abigail Van Buren," debuted in the San Francisco Chronicle in 1956, writing the incredibly popular column "Dear Abby." The identical twin of advice columnist Ann Landers, Van Buren went on to become one of America's most adored newspaper columnists. She is credited with helping to transform the standard "lonely hearts" column into a more profound and candid feature,
"My readers have told me that they've learned from me. But it's the other way around. I've learned from them. Has it been a lot of work? Not really. It's only work if you'd rather be doing something else."
"My contemporaries would come to me for advice—I got that from my mother: the ability to listen and to help other people with their problems. I also got Daddy's sense of humor."
"Kids grow up awfully fast these days. You should try to have a good relationship with your kids, no matter what they do."
shaping the nation's changing moral conscience for nearly 50 years. Van Buren died on January 16, 2013, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Early Life
Pauline Esther Friedman Phillips, better known by the pen name "Abigail Van Buren," was born in Sioux City, Iowa, on July 4, 1918. Nicknamed "Popo" at an early age, Van Buren grew up with identical twin sister Eppie Lederer, who would also go on to become a popular advice columnist, under the pseudonym "Ann Landers." The sisters were raised by Russian-Jewish immigrants: a father who made a good living as a successful movie theater proprieter and a homemaking mother. "My parents came with nothing. They all came with nothing," Van Buren later told The Associated Press. She went on to credit her parents with the social skills integral to her later writing career. "My contemporaries would come to me for advice—I got that from my mother: the ability to listen and to help other people with their problems. I also got Daddy's sense of humor."
Following their high school graduation, Van Buren and Landers attended college together at Morningside College in Sioux. Soon after, on July 2, 1938, the twins had a double wedding: Van Buren married a businessman named Morton Phillips, and her sister wed Jules Lederer, who would later found Budget Rent-a-Car.
'Dear Abby' Begins
In 1955, Landers began working as an advice columnist for The Chicago Sun-Times—authoring responses to readers for the successful "Ask Ann Landers"—and not long after, Van Buren followed suit. In her late 30s, Van Buren was offered a writing contract with the McNaught Syndicate. Her column, called "Dear Abby," debuted in the San Francisco Chronicle on January 9, 1956, and quickly proved to be a hit among readers. (She crafted her now-famous moniker by combining the names of two inspirational figures: the biblical hero Abigail and Martin Van Buren, the eighth president of the United States.)
Family Feud
At the same time that Van Buren's career was just taking off, her relationship with her sister couldn't have become more sour: "Dear Abby" had created direct and serious competition for Landers, and, even worse, she hadn't known about Van Buren's column-writing plans. Angry and hurt, Landers severed all ties with her twin. "I felt betrayed. Because she didn't tell me that she was considering it, she didn't tell me—she just presented it as a fact," Landers later explained. The sisters' bitter dispute soon evolved into a hostile and very public rivalry that would last for nearly a decade.
"They became serious competitors," Henry Ginsburg, Landers's high school boyfriend, later said of the dispute.

Combination of the top-quark mass measurements from the Tevatron collider |
For the CDF, D0 collaboration(s) |
(2012) |
The top quark is the heaviest known elementary particle, with a mass about twice the mass of the $W$ and $Z$ bosons of the weak interaction, and about 40 times larger than the mass of its isospin partner, the bottom quark. It decays almost 100% of the time to a $W$ boson and a bottom quark, and the $W$ boson then decays to a lepton and a neutrino or to a quark-antiquark pair. Using top-antitop pairs at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider, the CDF and {\dzero} collaborations have measured the top quark's mass in different decay channels for integrated luminosities of up to 5.8 fb$^{-1}$. This paper reports on a combination of these measurements that results in a more precise value of the mass than any individual decay channel can provide. It describes the treatment of the systematic uncertainties and their correlations. The mass value determined is $173.18 \pm 0.56({\rm stat}) \pm 0.75({\rm syst})$ GeV or $173.18 \pm 0.94$ GeV, which has a precision of $\pm 0.54%$, making the mass of the top quark the most accurately measured mass of the standard model quarks. |

Had it not been for a cool and wet April this spring, the Gunnison River Basin was headed for a devastating second consecutive year of historic dryness on par with the 2011-12 water year, and comparable with the severe drought years of 2002 and 1977.
About 50 people attending the annual State of the River presentation on Monday, June 3, in Montrose heard Bob Hurford, water engineer for the Gunnison Basin, and other officials deliver a sobering assessment of the basinwide water situation.
Hurford termed the current water year "a poor one."
Still, he noted there are good water years and there are poor ones. "We take it a year at a time and see what the next year brings," he said.
The snowpack, runoff and water supply situation for the 2012-13 water year that began on Oct. 1 could be summed up in these words — think dry and pray for rain.
The mild April weather didn't do much to improve snowpack levels in the basin. But what it did do was give the high country snow more time to melt into runoff thus extending the water supply into additional weeks for reservoir filling.
Even with April's weather reprieve, drought conditions in the basin will persist; there will be below average runoff throughout the Gunnison River Basin, and again next year there will be poor carryover storage in reservoirs left from this year's runoff.
In Delta County, Hurford said that in spite of the poor outlook, Surface Creek drainage water managers are working with resources they have. Worries over low snowpack readings early in the year were eased when a faulty snow gauge at Park Reservoir was repaired, indicating three to five more inches of water content than had been reported.
Still, low reservoir carryover from last year has water providers and users realizing that every drop has to count.
In the North Fork Valley where Paonia Reservoir "fills every year," it will fill again this year, Hurford said. However, last year's early runoff deprived the Fire Mountain Canal of natural flow at the end of June, almost the earliest point on record. The same scenario was headed for a repeat this year except for intervention of April's cool and wet spell.
The chances of Crawford Reservoir filling this year "don't look very good," others at the Montrose session reported.
Silver Jack Reservoir will fill. Filling of Ridgway Reservoir is questionable. But there will be no filling of either Taylor Park Reservoir or Blue Mesa Reservoir this year, reported Bob Pokrandt, an employee of the Colorado River District headquartered in Glenwood Springs, who also spoke at the event.
Hydrologist Erik Knight with the Bureau of Reclamation said that Blue Mesa will fill about halfway and that runoff inflow there this year is the fifth lowest on record. Blue Mesa began filling in the mid 1960s.
Basinwide, this year's snowpack measured 76 percent of average thanks again to a wet April. That compares with the prior year's snowpack of 68 percent of average, Knight reported.
Streamflow forecasts as of May 1 predict streamflows throughout the basin ranging from 40 to 60 percent of average. Effects of an apprent trend of drier years are clearly visible at Lake Powell where only 42 percent of the average inflow will be available to recharge storage. The lake level will drop a significant 37 feet from its 2012 level. "Powell will be down to reservoir levels that haven't been seen since 2001, or since it was first filling," Knight told his audience.
Other speakers at the State of the River conference included the following:
• Nolan Doeksen, state climatologist from CSU, who explained weather patterns in general and noted an apparent multi-year trend toward drier climate;
• Ken Spann of Gunnison County who reported on a study of proposals to transfer water from Flaming Gorge Reservoir to the Front Range; and
• Cary Denison of Ouray County who reported on successful "non-consumptive" water projects supported by the Gunnison Basin Water Roundtable that have benefitted wildlife habitat, improved river recreation, and increased water use efficiency.
Two of those successful projects have been completed on the Gunnison River in Delta County over the past two years: the Hartland Dam reconstruction and the Relief Dam reconstruction.

Syringomas are small harmless lesions that usually appear under the lower eyelids and sometimes on cheeks. They usually starts in young age and present as small, multiple, soft, skin-color to yellow brown papules. Syringomas are common in women then men. As they are harmless no treatment is required. Treatment of Syringoma is for cosmetic purpose only.
Syringoma under eye is caused due to overgrowth of cells from sweat glands. Syringomas may also run in families. It may also be common in other disease. Report shows that more then 18% of people with Down Syndrome may have syringoma. Diabetes peoples also often have clear cell syringoma.
Sometimes Syringoma may be confused with other skin conditions. In that case your doctor will confirm it by skin biopsy and exclude other possible conditions. If syringoma is confirmed as a diagnosis. You may not need any treatment. But syringoma under eye is often frustrating, so for cosmetic reason it can be removed.
Destruction of syringoma may be simple but scarring and recurrence may be occur. So consult your dermatologist before trying any treatment options for syringoma. Some of the syringoma treatment that are being used may include:
- Excision of lesion with scalpel, scissors or flexible razor blade.
- Carbon dioxide or Er:YAG laser treatment.
- Cryosurgery, which involved freezing the lesion with liquid nitrogen.
- Cauterization, which involves burning the lesion with a electric needle.
- Electrodesiccation and curettage.
- Dermabrasion.
- Trichloroacetic acid.

Public ownership of Nationwide Arena keeps Blue Jackets in Columbus
There haven't been any specific rumors of the Blue Jackets' pending doom/relocation to Quebec City, but just in case you were getting worried about the franchise's future: don't. Despite the losses and despite the questionable front office of the team, Franklin County, Ohio has agreed on a purchase agreement that will enable the Blue Jackets to stay in Columbus at least until 2039. The funds have been raised via county and city casino revenue, so taxpayer dollars won't specifically be used (are you listening, city of Glendale?). According to the Columbus Dispatch, here's how it's set up to work:
With maintenance, operating and debt service costs, arena ownership is expected to cost the city and county more than $250 million through 2039.
The deal is expected to save the struggling Blue Jackets $9.5 million per year through a rent-free lease with the authority. Nationwide, the former majority owner of the arena, agreed to invest $52 million in the Blue Jackets to take a 30 percent ownership interest in the team. It also will pay the team $28.5 million over 10 years for naming rights to the arena.
Honestly, I don't think that you can get more cost efficient than that. A team losing money gets to save some, you're not using taxpayer funds, you have a $52 million investment in the worst team in the NHL this season, and the team seems to be staying put.
There is a small loophole in all of this, as Jason Brough of PHT notes:
Now, it's worth noting that there's a way for the Jackets to skip town before 2039 — they just have pay $39 million in damages. And while $39 million isn't peanuts, if Columbus keeps hemorrhaging money, it might become a price worth paying to move to a more profitable market.
As we saw with the Thrashers, if someone wants a team badly enough they'll pay the extra fees. True North Sports and Entertainment paid the NHL an extra $60 million relocation fee to get hockey back in Winnipeg. If a big enough company shows up to whisk the Blue Jackets away, it can still happen.

Reference | EN 60743:2013 |
Title | Live working - Terminology for tools, devices and equipment |
Project Number | 23896 |
Abstract/Scope | IEC 60743:2013 applies to the terminology used to describe tools, devices, equipment and methods used in live working. It standardizes the name of tools, devices and equipment and permits their identification by providing definitions and illustrations. It contains some example illustrations. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2001, and its Amendment 1:2008.This edition constitutes a technical revision which includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: the clause 2 has been simplified and refers directly to IEC 60050-651; some definitions have been moved to specific existing clauses. This new edition is complementary to IEC 60050-651. Different publications under the responsibility of TC 78 include terms and its definitions. IEC 60050-651 (IEV 651) provides precise, brief and correct definitions of internationally accepted concepts in the field of live working, and specifies the terms by which these defined concepts are known. Electropedia gives access to the terms and definitions of IEC 60050-651 (http://www.electropedia.org/). Each product standard gives definitions necessary for the understanding of certain terms used in a specific context. The IEC Glossary (http://std.iec.ch/glossary) gives on-line access to the information. |

This is the 16th in a series of 18 stories looking back at every USGA championship and international team competition held at Merion Golf Club, site of the 2013 U.S. Open, which until 1942 was known as Merion Cricket Club.
Robert Tyre Jones Jr., Bobby to some, and Bob to others, was born in Atlanta, Ga., on March 17, 1902, to Mary and Robert Permedus Jones. Jones had a close and even competitive relationship with his father, a successful Atlanta lawyer, as evidenced by the younger Jones defeating his father in the 1915 Atlanta Athletic Club championship.
Young Bob, who was sickly as a child, was encouraged to play golf as a means of building his strength. The exercise was convenient for Jones as his family had a home near Atlanta Athletic Club, where he played many rounds with his father, future women's golf star Alexa Stirling, and his friend, Perry Adair. He quickly developed into a child prodigy, winning tournaments by age 6. Within a few years, Jones would be contending for state and national amateur championships.
Jones played better in his second match against Frank Dyer, winning 4 and 2, validating the hype that surrounded him. Robert Gardner, who was defending his 1915 U.S. Amateur title, awaited Jones in the quarterfinals. Gardner, renowned for his athletic prowess in track and field, was hampered by a finger infection but managed to defeat Jones in a hard-fought match. Jones' magical run at the 1916 U.S. Amateur had come to an end, but he did not leave Merion disappointed. According to Jones, "I never learned anything from a match that I won; I got my golfing education from drubbings." He would be back.
Seven years later, now a veteran at age 21, Jones broke through and captured his first major championship, the 1923 U.S. Open Championship at Inwood Country Club in Inwood, N.Y. Jones learned a lot during what he termed his "lean years," which paid off during his "fat years," from 1923 through 1930. First he overcame the temper that hindered him as a youth, then went on to discover an important key to winning: learning to score well when he wasn't playing his best. "I think this is what I learned to do best of all," Jones once wrote.
The U.S. Amateur returned to Merion Cricket Club in 1924, and this time Jones was considered a heavy favorite to win as the game's premier amateur player. Jones dominated the field. After qualifying with a pair of 72s on Merion's East Course, he easily dispatched W.J. Thompson, D. Clarke Corkran, Rudolf Knepper, Francis Ouimet and George Von Elm on his way to victory.
Six years and 11 major championship victories later, Jones returned to Merion with the goal of completing what O.B. Keeler had coined "The Grand Slam." The pressure on Jones to win at Merion for a second time was immense. A field of elite amateur players was assembled, hoping to stop Jones's momentum. For only the second time in his career, Jones would play in all four major championships, an opportunity he was afforded by being a member of the USA Walker Cup team. In May 1930, before record crowds at Royal St. George's Golf Club in Sandwich, England, the Americans had claimed their sixth consecutive Walker Cup victory. Partnered with Oregon dentist "Doc" Willing, Jones won his foursomes match, 8 and 7, and the following day defeated British Team captain Roger Wethered in singles.
Inspired by his Walker Cup success, Jones arrived at St. Andrews, Scotland, for the British Amateur, the only major title missing from his resume. He defeated the defending champion, Cyril Tolley, in the fourth round, and the reigning U.S. Amateur champion, Jimmy Johnston, in the fifth round. In the final, in front of the largest crowd ever gathered on the Old Course, Jones once again defeated Wethered, this time capturing the first leg of the Grand Slam.
In June, Jones traveled to Hoylake, England, for the British Open, played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club. After matching the course record of 70 in the opening round, Jones turned in rounds of 72, 74, and 75 to win the championship by two strokes over Macdonald Smith and Leo Diegel.
Jones had kept his quest secret to this point. But following his victory at Hoylake, Jones finally confided in Al Laney, a sportswriter for New York's Herald Tribune, telling him about the goal of winning all four majors.
In the blazing heat of July, Jones continued his Grand Slam quest in the U.S. Open at Interlachen Country Club in Minneapolis. As the field of 143 took to the course for the opening round, the temperature soared to 108 degrees. Despite losing 10 pounds, Jones posted a score of 71 and trailed Macdonald Smith and Tommy Armour, the 1927 U.S. Open champion, by one stroke. At the close of the second round, Jones trailed a new leader, Missouri's Horton Smith, by two. The final two rounds were played on Saturday, July 12. Before a crowd of 10,000 spectators, Jones shot 68 in the morning to take a five-stroke lead, then held on through the grueling pressure of the final round. He holed a 40-foot putt for birdie on the 72nd hole to claim a two-stroke victory, once again over Macdonald Smith.
Jones traveled back to Atlanta the following day and arrived to a celebration whose ranks swelled to some 125,000. For four weeks he rested, recovering his strength, as well as the 17 pounds he had shed in three days at Interlachen. He was in top form for the final push at the U.S. Amateur at one of his favorite places, Merion Cricket Club.
For the sixth time, Jones secured medalist honors in the qualifying rounds, tying his own record for lowest qualifying score. He then breezed through his early round matches, defeating C. Ross Somerville, Fred Hoblitzel and Fay Coleman. In the 36-hole semifinal, he defeated his good friend and Walker Cup teammate Jess Sweetser, 9 and 8. A record gallery of 18,000 gathered at Merion to watch Jones take on Eugene Homans in his quest to complete the Grand Slam. Jones dominated the 36-hole final, securing a 7-up lead in the morning round. He double-bogeyed the 28th hole of the match when he failed to escape a greenside bunker, but a conceded par at the 29th secured the 8-and-7 victory. Jones had won the Grand Slam.
Bob Jones loved Merion. He cut his teeth there in 1916 as a talented but raw 14-year-old. He won his second major and first U.S. Amateur Championship there in 1924, and he became the first, and only, player in the game's history to win all four major championships in the same season there in 1930. Merion's lore is unmistakable, producing some of the game's great champions and finest moments, but perhaps none more memorable than Jones and his capstone to the Grand Slam.

Disappointing stay at Regal Palms A guest from GRAPEVINE, TEXAS does not recommend this property. Stayed for 2 days in June, 2013 We decided to stay at Regal Palms for two days. I was very disappointed with the town home. 1st. Unit was not very clean. 2nd. Beds were very uncomfortable with minimal bed coverings. 3rd. Every window on the 2nd floor had missing blinds no drapery's. The overall townhome had minimal furnishings it was not inviting at all. We found a roach in the downstairs laundry area. My family and I would not return to this property. The site states it is close to disney. It is about a 20 minute drive from Disney. There are resorts closer than this in the Orlando area possibly offering a better stay. My experience is specific to the unit I rented. |

Nice neighborhood and resort MARIA B. from MIAMI, FL recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in November, 2012 We had to call to get connected to wifi and they had to come out...also the dishes in cabinets were full of dust and the closet where the a/c is was covered in dust....not enough towels and the master bathroom vertical blinds were broken so sunlight came in very early.the place is very nice, just needs some attention to cleaning and making sure window treatments are functioning...otherwise very nice townhouse and resort. |

Pres. Obama picking against Michigan teams in NCAA tournament
The NCAA Men's basketball tournament begins in earnest tomorrow. But one very well-known basketball fan expects no team with ties to Michigan will reach the Sweet 16.
The White House released President Obama's brackets today.
The Commander and Chief expects a quick exit for the Golden Grizzlies of Oakland University. Obama predicts 13th seeded OU will fall in its's opening round game against the 4thseeded Texas Longhorns on Friday.
Obama has higher hopes for the Michigan State Spartans and Michigan Wolverines. The president expects both will advance to the second round. But Obama predicts MSU will lose to 2ndseed Florida on Saturday and Michigan will lose to top seeded Duke on Sunday.

I'm very glad you provide that kind of service for your customers- and that is good CS service. All I'm saying is what HK is providing now for danford is reasonable. From what I've read from others, this is also reasonable. And if danford feels it is not, he should file a paypal dispute. But from my personal experience, paypal is anything but fast. They give the vendor 10 days to responds,...and so on...and in this case, paypal may even rule in HK's favor. did you read the link I sent? especially read #2 and I quote "Put this buyer on your blocked bidder list. You don't want them back." |

I'm sorry but i really do rate HK and until they do me wrong (which hasn't happened in the five years i've been using them) i will carry on defending them,no matter what HK does good or bad you will always get someone not happy about something (human nature i guess) Most of us knew HK didn't have the best CS in the business but they are trying hard to sort that out as far as i'm concerned,i can remember reading one of there twitter feeds about them training a bunch of new staff,i even started to read some posts about people saying HK sorted them out,ok it wasn't as fast as they had liked but it got sorted,plus some people don't like it when they ask for photos of the faulty product but from what i can gather,it's just so they can use it if they have to claim them selves off of shipping companies insurance or what ever,but do we really think HK should just believe everyone that says they have a faulty part,come on if they did every scam artist would be on them straight away or the people who don't know what they are doing,like i'll put this 20 amp esc in this plane even though i know it needs a 30amp one,the 20 amp one is cheaper,it then fails and the person then wants to try and get there money back and so on. I think HK have done a damn fine job in looking after us boys and girls who are into this hobby,they have shown us that we can enjoy it at more than half the price other online/LHS want to charge us,ok i know they are not in it just to make us happy but to make money but if it hadn't of been for them i for one would of left this hobby years ago,as the prices these other online/LHS want to charge are way over what i can afford or would be willing to pay. |

As a newbie, I bought the beginAir from parkflyers.com and that thing was a total piece of junk and it costed me $170 Long story short, bad radio, bad servos...I called the guy and after accusing me of being a newbie that crashed the plane, he reluctantly sent out a replacement servo. Turns out he sent me junk... I ended up having to buy all new real expensive servos...$23 a piece servos and a new Tx/Rx before the plane flew decent. I ended up spending $170 for plane, $100 for 4 servos, $200 Tx, $50 rx. Total of $520, Even if you took out the Tx/rx, I still spent $270 for a plane. This was before I knew HK. So nowadays, I know better and I thank HK every time I buy something. Here's the looooong version http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...r#post11181260 |

But, we went for the other "fowl" of the day...duck. And, we weren't disappointed. Their duck-breast medallions were tender and juicy, cooked perfectly with a bit of the pinkish color still visible, whereas the duck... More

Oh yay "I like attention!" (being feceacious) wow looks like a good news app!
^ lol, yeah its a pretty sweet news app, anyone know of some kick as$ news apps for iphone AP mobile is ok but crashes constantly
i have Pulse for iphone (i4) and there's a bug that makes it unusable outside US, the bug is there since july and they have not issued a new version in THREE MONTHS, shame on them, most unreactive devs on the iphone platform i have ever seen.
i want VLC for the iphone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when it will be out???????
I have Pulse on my iPhone 4 & iPad & use it all the time.
Me too! :-)
wrong thread.
This app is the best news reader ever. You can also import RSS feed from google (pick and choose what you want) and you can select from a list of popular news and blog sites as well.
I was trying to avoid getting an PM from a mod again due to my intolerance for stupidity. lol
Yeah, its a pretty cool app, except when it eats 90+MB of RAM and crashes. Yeah, that's right. As of the old version, it would eat TONS of TONS of memory.
I hope that's been updated!
I've had the same problem with Pulse. Constant crashes when opening the app. I only have two feeds saved to it. But otherwise it is an ok app. It isn't as feature rich as say, Reader but it is more visual than Reader.
Sent from my iPhone using ModMyi
Smart thinking!
I only had it crash on my 2g ipod when I had multitasking enabled. even then it only happened a couple times.
There is a free version that is kinda like this called Flipboard. Instead of it being in lines and boxes its in a newspaper style.
I still prefer Pulse as thats the first one I used and got use to.
There is Pulse Mini for iPhone for anyone wanting it on the small screen.
VLC is out...it's been out for weeks now.
Yay! been waiting for this!
