McGee & Stuckey's the Bountiful Container: A Container Garden of Vegetables, Herbs, Fruits, and Edible Flowers
With few exceptions-such as corn and pumpkins-everything edible that's grown in a traditional garden can be raised in a container. And with only one exception-watering-container gardening is a whole lot easier. Beginning with the down-to-earth basics of soil, sun and water, fertilizer, seeds and propagation, "The Bountiful Container" is an extraordinarily complete, plant-by-plant guide. Written by two seasoned container gardeners and writers, "The Bountiful Container" covers Vegetables-not just tomatoes (17 varieties) and peppers (19 varieties), butharicots verts, fava beans, Thumbelina carrots, Chioggia beets, and sugarsnap peas. Herbs, from basil to thyme, and including bay leaves, fennel, and saffron crocus. Edible Flowers, such as begonias, calendula, pansies, violets, and roses. And perhaps most surprising, Fruits, including apples, peaches, Meyer lemons, blueberries, currants, and figs-yes, even in the colder parts of the country. (Another benefit of container gardening: You can bring the less hardy perennials in over the winter.) There are theme gardens (an Italian cook's garden, a Four Seasons garden), lists of sources, and dozens of sidebars on everything from how to be a human honeybee to seeds that are All America Selections.

Vertical Gardening: Grow Up, Not Out, for More Vegetables and Flowers in Much Less Space
The biggest mistake gardeners make each season is starting out too big and then quickly realizing their large plot requires too much weeding, watering, and backbreaking labor. Vertical gardening guarantees a better outcome from the day the trowel hits the soil—by shrinking the amount of "floor" space needed and focusing on climbing plants that are less prone to insects, diseases, and animal pests. Notable author and gardener Derek Fell has tried and tested thousands of varieties of vegetables, flowers, and fruits and recommends the best plants for space-saving vertical gardening. His grow-up, grow-down system also shows which ground-level plants make good companions underneath and alongside climbing plants. Best of all, many of Fell's greatest climbers and mutually beneficial plants are available in seed packets in every local garden center. With a mix of DIY and commercially available string supports, trellises, pergolas, raised beds, skyscraper gardens, and topsy-turvy planters, the vertical garden system reduces work, increases yields, makes harvesting easier, and can be practiced in spaces as small as a container or a one-by-four-foot strip. "Vertical Gardening" features 100 color photos of the author's own vertical methods and showcases beautiful, troublefree perennials, shrubs, vegetables, annuals, and fruit perfect for this new, rewarding way to garden.

Found this stumbling last night.
This really made me smile! Guys having fun in the locker room, bonding with the new guys (wow that sentence can really be misunderstood!).
Kobe's monster game couldn't overcome Stoudemire's moves and Robin Lopez toughness. The Suns have started to crawl back into this series, and we'll show you what can get them another step closer to making this a real competitive series.
Robin Lopez had a differential of +2 which is unheard of in a game where his team lost by 21. He needs to play more than 24 minutes for the Suns to have a chance. But the Lakers look too strong and big for anyone left in this league. VIsit us at http://bballbreakdown.com for even more basketball!
This is not a video stating the suns only won by poor officiating. Nor am I complaining about it or starting a flame war. Blazers gave the game away on their own, no questions about that and please don't manipulate what I'm saying to classify me as a 'whiny blazer fan' and try not go to into far-reaching details about this is a make up call because of so and so. I am just posting a video about something we can all relate to, that feeling when a ref really makes a mistake and that thought "What the?" goes through your head. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and laugh at how bad some refs can be (no matter what team you cheer for), in this particular case it's of course Joey Crawford. It was a blown call, a wtf call... and kind of funny really... and sad. So please watch the video for what it is and 'enjoy'.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 19, 2013 CONTACT: Lea Anne Brandon, (601) 359-6346
Jackson, MS-The Secretary of State's Office will open bids on Thursday, March 21, at 1 p.m. for the purchase of 159 parcels of tax forfeited properties marketed for public bid in Meridian and Lauderdale County.
With a combined estimated value of about $586,000, the Meridian/Lauderdale County properties have been advertised for public bid since February 28, 2013.
"Tax forfeited properties are a blight on the community. Returning these properties to private ownership cleans up our neighborhoods and reduces the opportunity for crime," said Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann.
The goal of the Secretary of State's Office is to work with local governments to determine which properties may be marketed for private ownership, and which properties could be transferred to local governments for public use. Returning these lands to private ownership puts them back on the local tax rolls, generating much needed revenue for our local governments.
For the Meridian/Lauderdale properties, sealed bids must be received in the office of the Secretary of State by noon on Thursday. Bids will be opened and read aloud beginning at 1:00 p.m. by the Public Lands Division at 700 North Street in Jackson. (ALL MEDIA are invited to bid opening. Second floor conference room. )
To learn more on obtaining tax forfeited properties or to view the Meridian/Lauderdale County parcels offered for bid, please visit the Secretary of State's website at: http://www.sos.ms.gov/PublicLands.
Background Information:
Currently, the Secretary of State's Office holds more than an estimated $66.2 million in property forfeited to the State of Mississippi for non-payment of ad valorem taxes. The Secretary of State's Office began an aggressive marketing campaign in 2012 to return these properties to private ownership, beginning with the city of Greenville. Of the 80 parcels of tax forfeited properties marketed in Greenville, the Secretary of State's Office received 87 bids on 52 parcels. These bids were in addition to 23 parcels previously under contract with churches and 22 parcels purchased directly by an individual outside of the properties put up for bid.
Successful bidders will be notified by the Secretary of State's Office. Payment of the bid amount must be made within 15 days of notification. All sales are subject to the approval of the Governor. Parcels are sold on an "as is" basis. All sales are final, and no refunds will be made. No more than 160 acres may be purchased by one person within one year.

Rare Salisbury bank notes sold at auction
4:07pm Wednesday 10th October 2012 in News By Morwenna Blake
RARE bank notes from when Salisbury printed its own money have sold at auction for £1,600.
Two of the notes, an 1810 Sarum City Bank five pound note and an 1809 Sarum City Bank ten pound note, each sold for £200 at the auction, held at Spink in Bloomsbury, London.
But ten other notes issued in the city between 1799 and 1815 failed to sell.
The notes were among a £1million collection of English provincial bank notes put up for sale by multi millionaire Jersey property tycoon David Kirch, which will be sold in four parts at Spink.
Salisbury was so prosperous in the early 1800s that it had at least four privately- owned banks, all issuing their own notes.
But their notes could only be used locally, so when many of these provincial banks went bust, as two of the Salisbury banks did, their notes became worthless.

Court says baby can't be named 'Friday'
ROME - What's in a name? If the name is Friday, shame and ridicule, according to Italian judges who forbade a couple from naming their child like the character in "Robinson Crusoe."
"They thought that it recalled the figure of a savage, thus creating a sense of inferiority and failing to guarantee the boy the necessary decorum," the couple's lawyer, Paola Rossi, said Wednesday.
The couple are considering appealing the decision to Italy's highest court, she said.
Mara and Roberto Germano, whose son was born on Sept. 3, 2006, had the boy named and baptized Venerdi, Italian for Friday.
Even though the boy was not born on a Friday  it was Sunday  his parents liked the name, said Rossi.
"They wanted an unusual name, something original, and it did not seem like a shameful name," Rossi said in a telephone interview. "We think it calls to mind the day of the week rather than the novel's character."
Since city hall officials are obliged by law to report odd names, the matter ended up before judges in Genoa, the northern Italian city where the couple live.
Last month, an appeals court stated that Friday falls into the category of the "ridiculous or shameful" names that are barred by law, as it recalled the native servant in Daniel Defoe's novel.
The judges wrote that naming somebody Friday would bar him from "serene interpersonal relationships" and would turn the boy into the "laughing stock of his group," according to a report in La Repubblica this week.
According to the daily, the judges also said that, as a day of the week, Friday raises a sentiment of sadness and penitence, when not being associated with bad luck outright.
Rossi said the court, which upheld a previous ruling made in June, also ordered the boy to be named Gregorio after the saint on whose day he was born.
Re: Court says baby can't be named 'Friday'
They should have just baptized him the English word "Friday"...no one would have been the wiser.
;DAny man who afflicts the human race with ideas must be prepared to see them misunderstood. - H.L. Mencken

Though most people hate the feeling of getting lost, that?s the point behind spending a day at the maze at Brookdale Farms. Not because the staff wants guests to wander aimlessly, but because the maze makes for a great way to enjoy the autumn sunshine at a relaxed pace and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Open as a family-friendly jaunt during the day and as a haunted attraction at night, the maze tests navigators? skills and affords a rare view into how scarecrows live when they think no one is looking. Outside the maze, the farm offers other autumnal activities such as pumpkin slingshots, pony rides, adrenaline-pumping ziplines, and a hay jump, inviting families to spend a full day disconnected from their televisions, computers, and employer-mandated tracking devices. The farm also has its very own pumpkin patch, where children and adults can pick their own pumpkins, especially after a nice hayride.
Grant's Farm has been home to two titans of the US?one a general and president, the other a brewer who forever changed America's bar scene. The first of these was the farm's namesake, President Ulysses S. Grant, who in 1885 built a four-room cabin, needing only a few days, the help of some loyal friends, and an '80s-style montage. After a few transitional owners, August Busch Sr. bought the farm in 1907 and had that same cabin restored to its original condition.
While visitors to Grant Farm can still view that historic cabin today, the grounds have grown into much, much more. More than 280 acres host over 900 animals from 100 unique species, one of which has starred in commercials for decades: the Budweiser Clydesdales. A behind the scenes tour of the Clydesdale Stables reveals more than 50 of these stallions, from weanlings to full-grown, six-foot-tall equines. Meanwhile, Zebras, Black Buck Antelope, and other exotic animals roam across Deer Park, and Tier Garten hosts interactive elephant shows and goat feedings.
Back indoors, the bauernhof (farmstead) stands as a 19th-century relic with antique stables and carriages. It also houses non-antique bartenders, who pour complimentary samples for of-age visitors. They can also point families to more complete dining locations, including Grant's Farm Deli.
Since 1971, World Aquarium has stuck to its not-for-profit mission to protect marine life and promote the public's understanding of the aquatic world through educational programs, exhibits, and research. The aquarium unsurprisingly favors a hands-on approach; visitors often get close enough to high-five the flippers, fins, or pincers of many of its more than 10,000 animals.
Tour guides wind through exhibits on sea and freshwater animals, showcasing creatures such as sea turtles, sharks, stingrays, and fish from rivers and lakes around the globe. While peering into the faithfully reconstructed habitats, visitors absorb valuable information on how to conserve water, protect aquatic resources, and peacefully resolve conflicts between Siamese fighting fish.

"I've opened for big-name acts on campus, including Chiddy Bang, Sam Adams and the Cool Kids."
"I started classical piano lessons when I was three, and in seventh grade I formed a band with some friends. We got signed and recorded an album in high school. My interest in music made me want to learn more about sound principles and speaker design - principles that relate to electrical engineering. So when I found out that I could pursue a five-year degree in engineering and music, I knew it was a perfect fit.
"When I got to campus, I began a solo career as a DJ and mash-up artist. I play for clubs and Greek organizations. I like showing everyone a good time, get them dancing.
"I've also opened for big-name acts on campus, including Chiddy Bang, Sam Adams and the Cool Kids, and I played a set after Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Outside of Bucknell, I've played shows in Webster Hall in New York City, The Middle East in Cambridge, Mass., and various small venues all over the East Coast. And I've been featured on several popular college music blogs." || More on Doug and the concert he organized to benefit families affected by the tragedy in Sandy Hook, Conn.

Joe Brandmeier grew up in Fond du Lac and made trips north with his family each summer. Those trips north inspired his book of quotes and photography, Up North Reflections, Moments & Memories. / Contributed photo
Joe Brandmeier has been in love with Wisconsins Northwoods since he was a kid growing up in Fond du Lac. His family would pack into their station wagon and head to Joes grandfathers cabin in the Nicolet National Forest.
The trip north was filled with six screaming, unbuckled kids. A DQ stop was the only carrot that could be dangled with any behavior-modifying result. The journey was punctuated with their arrival and all the fishing, swimming and exploring that made up their stay.
As a kid, Joe remembers the cabin having a creepy quality to it. But the sound of a mouse or two scratching around while he tried to sleep wasnt nearly enough to dampen the fun, and trouble, he and his siblings enjoyed.
The cabin still stands and Joes family assembles there several times each year. Each visit for Joe, who now lives in Minnesota, includes a few moments inspecting the carved names that cover the wood at the cabins entrance. His name, carved in high school, is still there, along with names and initials that reach back nearly 100 years.
Its those days the Brandmeiers spent at the cabin which have inspired Joe to assemble a collection of photos and quotes into a book all about heading Up North. The photos in Up North Reflections, Moments & Memories are all Joes. The quotes come from friends, family and historical figures. Many of the shots were taken right here in Wisconsin. A few photos from as far away as Alaska are included. And, of course, a shot of Joes grandfathers cabin is included.
When I heard about the book and first exchanged e-mail messages with Joe, I pointed out that while he grew up making the trip north from Fond du Lac, I made the exact opposite trip south to my grandparents place in West Bend each summer. And my eyes point more south than north even to this day.
But after spending some time flipping the pages of Joes project , maybe its time to put a trip north for my family in the books.

Michael Appleton closing in on first Oxford United signings
1:18pm Thursday 10th July 2014 in U's News By David Pritchard , Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
MICHAEL Appleton is hoping his first Oxford United signing could be completed before Saturday's opening pre-season game at Farnborough.
The head coach has been busy searching for players to improve the squad since taking over on Monday.
So far this summer, only Danny Hylton has arrived at the club, but productive discussions were held with two targets yesterday.
While Appleton, 38, could not guarantee anything would be sealed before Saturday, there is every chance multiple signings could arrive within the next few days.
He said: "I don't think we're a million miles away.
"Regardless of my age I'm probably too experienced to get carried away, but yesterday especially I had two very positive talks with players and agents."
He added: "There's an opportunity that certainly one might be in before the weekend, but the likelihood is by the start of next week instead of it just being one it might be two or three."

Why are we there?
- Conflict
- Endemic/epidemic disease
- Health care exclusion
Our work
This is an excerpt from MSF-USA's 2012 Annual Report:
Conflict and a coup virtually split Mali in two by April 2012—Tuareg and Islamist groups controlled the north, an interim government the south—and instability simmered throughout the year. Some 340,000 people were displaced; 145,000 fled the country.
MSF provided basic medical services at three health posts in the north and assumed responsibility for the 65-bed Timbuktu hospital (emergency department, pediatric ward, surgical and maternity services). Staff also carried out 50,000 consultations in 10 regional health centers.
In Gao, MSF conducted 65 daily consultations in two health centers, ran mobile clinics in rural areas, and managed Ansongo's 40-bed hospital.
In October, MSF began providing outpatient and inpatient services, maternity care, and surgery at a referral hospital and a health center in Douentza, conducting 500 weekly consultations. Teams also assisted Malian refugees in neighboring countries.
Malian refugees wait to be registered in Mauritania after fleeing Mali during fighting there.
MSF treated hundreds of children at four outpatient and two inpatient therapeutic feeding centers in the Mopti region. Staff also treated 4,800 children for malaria and admitted 4,400 to an inpatient feeding center at Koutiala hospital in Sikasso, treating 3,000 additional children at six outpatient feeding centers.
MSF offered preventative and curative care for children in a health center in Konseguela, conducting more than 80,000 consultations there and in four other health centers. Community health workers in 19 surrounding villages also detected and treated malaria, distributed mosquito nets, vaccinations, follow-up consultations, and supplementary food for children younger than 2.
Between August and October, when malaria is most potent, MSF provided anti-malarial medication to more than 165,000 children in Koutiala district—another seasonal malaria chemoprevention campaign, like the one in Chad—which reduced consultations for simple malaria by more than 66 percent in subsequent weeks and reduced hospitalizations for severe malaria by 70 percent.
At the end of 2012, MSF had 469 staff in Mali. MSF has worked in the country since 1984.

The Cincinnati Bengals added a new offensive lineman to the roster on Friday.
Team officials say Mike Pollak, a guard and free agent, was signed for the 2013 season.
Pollak started in the NFL as a second-round draft choice with Indianapolis in 2008 until 2011. He then signed as an unrestricted free agent with Carolina in 2012, playing in the season opener but suffered a shoulder injury practicing the following week.
The Bengals also waived WR Lavasier Tuinei on Friday, who was signed on for the Bengals off-season roster on January 1.

Some important things done January - I fixed the long-standing problem with courts map js, now both windows open together, so need to pop up, just passing the handle from one to another through the parent. And stars are clickable now , too. Getting info with clicking the map, that's a GIS. I also bound 98% of all previous matches to the courts database, thus making various stats courts vs. matches available, like people playing on the same courts stats, number of matches per court stats, and even
Hello, just returned from Paris and Berlin, seeing the New Year come there. Now, more convincing stats to be found here http://tennismatchmachine.com/docs/S..._2012_TMM.html. Voilà, c'est ça. Expenses are growing, too, but (over)balanced with incomes, I think this is natural.
Look, it's logarithmic, isn't' it? Some time ago I thought about a similiarity in numbers of electrons in a bound state inside the atom ( their problems of setting in begin somewhere after U92 ) and numbers of club players in this club. Look, we have now a rate of 20 to 30 new registration each month, without Google influx, and with the latter it would increase to 25% or so. Facebook in Moscow
I did more Balkans travels in September and October, hoping to establish new ties with prospects of opening up in places with lots of players. Alas, no so far. We've had a sponsored Ladder this year, which is the first time for Ladder (but hopefully not the last), and bought out a whole inflatible in mid-October to hold all the three finals indoor on the ground. As usual, after the end of the summer season I did calculate the stats and drew more lines in our growth charts which are still not exponential
I just returned from Turkey in Alanya; "where God smiles", and played tennis there. Just under the rocky peninsula that splits into the sea, 4 courts, 2 clay, 2 hard, reasonable price. I like Turkey! -- This Moscow club has matured, now 6-year-old; we played 1913 matches altogether in 2011-12, vs. 1010 matches in 2010-11; this is 90%..hmm.. I like this stats! This year, Motivation Open had a 32-draw with a qual in singles, and a smaller draw in mixed, but this is the first time we managed

Blackburn charity helping Somerset flood victims
2:50pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in News
BLACKBURN charity Al-Imdaad Foundation UK has sent teams to Somerset to assist local communities affected by strong winds, flooding, and resulting power cuts.
Teams from the international disaster relief organisation, which currently works in more than 65 countries, came back only few days ago from assisting Syrian refugees at the Turkish border, and were straight back on the ground assisting the victims affected by the flooding and the storms.
The teams distributed more than 500 hats, blankets and fresh sandwiches to locals evacuated to a temporary 'Rest Centre' at Westfield Church in Bridgewater and Burrowbridge.
Hurricane force winds at 100 mph battered parts of the country, adding to the chaos already caused by some of the worst flooding ever seen in the UK.
Somerset residents, were grateful for the generosity of the Blackburn teams, who had travelled more than five hours to assist the flood victim, the charity said.
International projects co-ordinator, Zubair Valimulla said "As storms and widespread flooding continue to spell despair for thousands across the UK, East Lancashire-based charity Al-Imdaad Foundation has been on the front-line helping people in the worst affected areas.
"One of the high ethos of Al-Imdaad Foundation is to assist humanity regardless of race, religion, creed or culture. Therefore we will never hesitate to offer help and support to anyone, because we care".
Blackburn mayor Salim Mulla said: "The Al-Imdaad Foundation has done some fantastic work in Somerset.
"I think it is really important for Muslim people in the UK to not just help people in need overseas, but also to support people in our own country."

Calendar Tool
The Calendar tool allows you to arrange and visualize your course events in multiple views and enables integration of course content and your Calendar.
You can use iCal to synchronize the Calendar tool to your personal calendars (such as Outlook and Google Calendar, as well as iPhone, Android, and Blackberry).
There are two different types of events in the Calendar tool:
•Availability events
Availability events indicate the availability and due dates of course objects in the Calendar tool. Within a course, all objects for that course that you enable to display in the calendar will be visible. You can set due dates for course objects, edit, and delete availability events directly from the Calendar tool.
•General (Content) events
These are events you create within the Calendar tool. You can create multiple events for the same course object, and include details of presenters, location, and seating chart for the event.
Managing Calendar - The basic calendar features such as creating, editing, deleting, and printing are covered on this page.
Features - This page will introduce additional calendar features and how to use each feature.
iCal - If you are interested in using iCal to keep track of your course calendars, this page will outline the steps necessary to set up and use iCal effectively.

Take the 100 Acre Personality Quiz!
Well, I'm not sure...I guess that's a good description of a blogger, but I think I spel betterr than Owl duz.
At least I wasn't Rabbit.
We are a Canadian homesquirreling family. Dad, known as Mr. Fixit, has lined the nest with old copies of Popular Mechanics. Mama Squirrel enjoys reading, scrounging, and raising the squirrelings: The Apprentice, Ponytails, and Dollygirl (formerly called Crayons). And there's Uncle Dewey, who is made of polyester and imagination and has lived in our treehouse for years. Climb up, you're welcome!
If we were all Kangas, life would get kinda boring, no?
And someone has to be able to spell and read and all that intelctuchul stuff ;-)
Hey, I'm Owwl toooo.....lol
Thanks, that makes me feel better! I wonder if there was something subconscious about picking someone who lives up in a tree...(grin)
It said I was rabbit, high strung, and bossy. I am not high strung! I am not bossy! And I don't like rabbit! :-0
Glad to see you're taking it in such a relaxed way...(grin)
Might I point out that Rabbit has a great dramatic ability (Is anybody home? Nobody), has nice manners (lets his friends eat everything in the house) and is creative (turn that unused tush into a towel rack).
But personally I would have put you between a Pooh and a Tigger.

Thread: A few 4th Round Backgrounds
A few 4th Round Backgrounds
It's another Arkansas WR for the Vikes to close out the 4th round - They select Greg Childs Greg Childs Draft Profile
A FB it is for the Vikings 2nd pick in the 4th round...Rhett Ellison Rhett Ellison Draft Profile
Hmph. It seems even after the combine, he cleaned himself up, and couldve been a first rounder if not for his knee injury. I think we might of gotten another steal in the 4th round like everson griffen
NFL DRAFT SCOUT TOP WIDE RECEIVERS: Greg Childs, Arkansas, 6-3, 219...Childs probably has only now recovered from a 2010 right knee injury, but he pushed himself through the 2011 season anyway, catching 21 passes for 240 yards. By the time of the combine he was well enough to run the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds and manage a 36??-inch vertical jump. But he considered his March 7 pro day a coming out when he ran 40 yards in 4.41 seconds and had a vertical jump of 41?? inches. "It was just mainly showing everybody that I was healthy again, showing I was 100 percent again," Childs said after the on-campus workout. The injury was
to his right patella and required surgery in 2010, otherwise he probably would have been in the 2011 draft. Instead, he struggled through the 2011 season, missing only a little action. Childs is an extraordinary target because of his unusual combination of size, speed, jumping ability, long arms (34?-inch) and, finally, huge hands, (10?-inch). - Frank Cooney, The Sports Xchange

If professional golf saw its future at Augusta National last weekend, the sight had to be worse than choking on a five-foot putt.
The course was there in all its splendor. You couldn't miss the dogwoods. Bubba Watson was his composed, confident self.
But drama was nowhere to be found.
With Tiger Woods on medical leave and Phil Mickelson given a rare weekend pass after two uninspired opening rounds, the Masters fizzled. That's to be expected when the game's big stars are missing.
Also AWOL were fans who normally park in front of their TV sets but this year were off doing something else. The final round earned a 7.8 TV rating, which means only 7.8 percent of U.S. households watched Watson score a three-shot victory over second-place finishers Jordan Spieth and Jonas Blixt. That was the lowest final-round rating since 2004, when Mickelson donned a green jacket at the end of the day.
With Woods and Mickelson now well into the back nine of their careers, PGA executives, fans and businesses aligned with the game must be wondering who will step up and win our attention. Athletic skill is a prerequisite, but it also takes someone with charisma and charm.
Watson could be the one. He enjoys boyish good looks, and who can't help but pull for someone named Bubba? Furthermore, his game speaks for itself.
The one rub on him is that he can be prickly. He's had run-ins with other golfers – not always a gentleman in the ultimate gentleman's game. Also, he's been quick to admonish a caddie for selecting the wrong club or when a shot is misplayed. Attribute some of that to a fiercely competitive nature, but those remain traits that cause most fans to cringe.
Perhaps Watson is learning valuable lessons about his image, especially in this day of instant information. He certainly burnished his reputation after winning the Masters by taking his family and friends to the Waffle House for a celebratory gathering as well as hash browns. That common touch is sure to score well with those who like to see the human side of their sporting heroes.
Woods and Mickelson have literally and figuratively been the face of professional golf for so long, it's hard to imagine who has the polish and poise to supplant them.
Watson, who has won the Masters twice in the past three years, is well positioned to become the guy the field is constantly chasing.
Spieth, who was merely a toddler when Woods captured his first Masters in 1997, at age 22 became the youngest player to make the final two-some at the Masters. He didn't win but it wasn't for wilting under pressure. The experience he gained is invaluable.
Both Watson and Spieth are ranked in the most recent World Golf Rankings' Top 10, which features five Americans and five foreign players. One would expect to find Woods (1st) and Mickelson (8th) at the top of any leader board; Watson (4th) and Spieth (9th) seem set for many years to come.
While their games are exceptional, will the public come to endorse Watson or Spieth as it has other golfing greats? Or will that honor, and responsibility, fall to someone else?
It could be Matt Kuchar, or perhaps someone else just waiting for a chance to step into the pro spotlight and dramatically win a championship as well as the public's fascination.
Despite their ailments, Tiger and Phil still have the hearts of champions. They've won a combined 19 major championships. There could be more, although Woods hasn't won one since 2008. (Mickelson captured the British Open last year.)
Golf is a game driven by great players, but the majors also need tension and excitement. That's what was missing at the Masters.
Bring back the drama, and you'll bring back the fans.

|Read a vector from file(s) given the file base name and a vector space.
The concept of a file is every general and really can be implemented as any type of object data base that is keyed on a string name (i.e.
fileNameBase). In that sense, this interface is really an interface to a general multi-vector serialization/deserialization implementation, but file-based implementations are expected to be the most common.
This interface currently requires the client to know the correct vector space and to pre-create the multi-vectors with the right number of columns before they can be read in. In all current use cases where this interface is used, the client knows what it needs to read so this is fine.
ToDo: Add a form of readMultiFromFile(...) that will accept just a vector space and will create a multi-vector with as many columns as is specified in the file. Right now I don't know this functionality so I am not going to implement this. However, if an important use case is found where this functionality is needed, then we can add this implementation without much trouble.
ToDo: Derive this interface from Teuchos::ParameterListAcceptor so that we can set some options on how the reading and writing gets done (e.g. use binary or ASCII formating).

For many families, it means consciously choosing to green routines to make their homes – and lives – safer. With Earth month upon us, both new and experienced parents are using the time as a launching pad for engaging in a healthier lifestyle. According to Rachel Sarnoff, interim executive director/CEO of Healthy Child Healthy World, "Earth Day is such a good opportunity for us to take stock of our lives, not that we need to go out and buy a hybrid, that is not the takeaway. It's really about looking at the little things you can do and seeing if you can do them on Earth Day and the rest of your children's years to come." Keep reading to see her simple tips for greening your life. In honor of Earth Day, Healthy Child's eco-friendly partners have created a Green Your Picnic kit ($27) packed with Earth-friendly goodies to help families enjoy a cleaner, outdoor experience. The kits, sold exclusively at Diapers.com, will benefit Healthy Child Healthy World. Source: Thinkstock Eco-Baby-Proof Your Life What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "When people become parents, there's just this enormous opportunity for change. I think for a lot of us, what we realize at that point, is that our children are so much more vulnerable than we are. So it makes sense that once we make that realization, we start taking steps – sometimes small, sometimes large – to change them. It's in the same way that we put a car seat in the car when we're coming home from the hospital. It's the time when you start thinking about the things you never thought about. At Healthy Child Healthy World, that is an extension of putting in that car seat, putting on those outlet covers, and those bumpers on the side of your coffee table. At the same time you want to think about finding foods with no pesticides on them, household cleaners that may not have chemicals that affect the air they breathe, etc. It's small and simple shifts that create a greater level of awareness." Source: Thinkstock 1 / 5 Start Small by Changing Your Cleaning Routine What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I think one of the easiest shifts – and one of the cheapest shifts really because if you want to start going really granola with this process you can make your own cleaning products for pennies – is looking at what you're using to clean your home. The EPA has suggested that the air inside your home is 3-5 times more polluted than the air outside the home – that's mainly much because the products used to clean the home, and off-gassing from products and paint. The piece of that puzzle that you can really control is the cleaning part. It's just as simple as turning over the label of your product and if there are lots of chemical names that you don't really understand, my recommendation would be to look for something that you can read the label and really understand what's in it – vinegar, essential oils, those things are all really safe for us to breathe." Source: Thinkstock 2 / 5 Know Your Food-Storage Options What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Plastic is an increasingly confusing product. There are hundreds of kinds and little research regarding most uses. Some are safer than others (e.g. those numbered 2, 4, and 5), but truly the safest way to store food is in stainless steel or glass. Make the switch to glass easily by reusing spaghetti sauce or salsa jars for food storage! If you do opt for some plastic, it's best not to microwave food in them as heat promotes leaching. You also have to be careful using them to store warm, fatty, or acidic foods which can all promote leaching, as well." Source: Thinkstock 3 / 5 Choose Hand Sanitizers Wisely What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hand sanitizers that depend on essential oils for efficacy kill 99.99 percent of germs without chemicals or alcohol. In fact, you can make your own hand sanitizer with a blend of cinnamon, eucalyptus and other essential oils. When assessing non-natural hand sanitizers, it's important be aware of ingredients like Triclosan and Benzalknonium Chloride, which, ironically, have resulted in the growth of antibacterial-resistant strains of bacteria. A better bet is a natural sanitizer with an alcohol base; just make sure that you keep them away from children as they can be extremely toxic if ingested." Source: Getty 4 / 5 Choose Natural Bug Repellants on Your Next Picnic What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "There are a lot of truly natural bug repellents and a lot of them rely on citronella.
