NEWPORT BEACH, California (Friday, September 19, 2008) - Increased swell in the four-to-five foot (1.5 metre) range graced the contest venue at Newport Beach's 56th Street today and competitors in the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Qualifying Series (WQS) 2-Star Oakley Newport Beach Pro and the ASP Grade-2 Oakley Pro Junior lifted the performance levels once again, narrowing the draws to the final 16 and final four respectively.
Stop No. 2 of 3 on the 2008 Macy's California Trifecta Surf Series (an ASP North America Specialty Series), the Oakley Newport Beach Pro and Oakley Pro Junior represent a vital part of the ASP North America West Coast schedule, and today's athletes reveled in the increased swell and hollow conditions.
Brett Barley (Cape Hatteras, NC), 18, a relative unknown on the ASP WQS and Pro Junior Series, continued his blitzkrieg of the 2008 Oakley Newport Beach Pro today, netting the day's high heat total of a 17.07 out of a possible 20.
"The conditions out here are really similar to the Outer Banks back home when we have swell," Barley said. "There was a bit of a rip running through the lineup close to the jetty so I just moved down the beach and picked off a couple of good ones. I'm stoked I got through."
Barley also secured the day's highest single-wave score with a 9.00 forehand barrel, rocketing the explosive goofy-footer into the Quarterfinals of the Oakley Newport Beach Pro.
"This is definitely the best I've done in a contest before," Barley said. "I guess these conditions really suit my surfing and hopefully they stick around for the rest of the event."
Nathan Yeomans (San Clemente, CA), 27, two-time defending Oakley Newport Beach Pro Champion and 2006 Macy's California Trifecta Surf Series Champion, advanced into tomorrow's Quarterfinals with ease this morning, moving one step closer to clinching his third consecutive event title.
"The conditions were pretty fun out there and I'm stoked to keep moving forward in the event," Yeomans said. "I would love to win three in a row out here, but obviously, the No. 1 goal is to qualify for the ASP World Tour. I'm sitting in the 20's right now on the ASP WQS and I'm looking to bust my way in before the season is finished. This event won't factor into my qualifying campaign, but it's cool and it's close to home so I'm pumped to be into the Quarterfinals."
Brad Ettinger (Huntington Beach, CA), 24, was another regional standout who capitalized on today's barreling conditions, slotting himself into a deep forehand tube to net an 8.73 out of a possible 10.
"That was a really good one that opened up for me," Ettinger said. "I'm a pretty big guy so I wasn't sure I would find any barrels out there, but I kind of drifted into the spot and found a good one. I'm stoked it put me through the heat and hopefully it's similar out here tomorrow."
The ASP Grade-2 Oakley Pro Junior hit the water following the completion of the men's ASP WQS action, and the juniors took to the increased swell with style, punch and bite, putting in some of the most explosive performances of the season as they decided the four finalists.
Tanner Gudauskas (San Clemente, CA), 20, lost out yesterday in the men's event, but has taken his world-class form to the Oakley Pro Junior with a Finals berth on Sunday.
"I'm stoked to get through to the Final on Sunday," Gudauskas said. "That Semifinal out there could have been a Final as there were so many good surfers in it. I'm bummed I lost out in the men's division, but am happy to still be in the running for the Pro Junior. Hopefully the waves stick around and we can have an exciting finish."
Finishing Equal 3rd in last January's Billabong ASP World Junior Series, Gudauskas took top honors for the North American juniors on the global stage and hopes to improve come next January.
"The Billabong ASP World Junior Championships are the biggest thing for junior surfers and you really feel like you're part of something special being there," Gudauskas said. "Last year I qualified as being the highest rated junior on the 'QS so I'm looking to do that as well this season."
Dillon Perillo (Malibu, CA), 18, current No. 8 on the 2008 ASP North America Pro Junior Series, is the only surfer still competing in both the Oakley Pro Junior as well as the Oakley Newport Beach pro and stands as the only surfer able to potentially win both events.
"I got a pretty good result in the last WQS event I surfed and that gave me a lot of confidence," Perillo said. "I'm stoked to be in the Final for the Oakley Pro Junior and I'm hoping I can get a good result and put it towards qualifying for the ASP World Junior Championships."
Gudauskas and Perillo will be joined by fellow finalists Michael Dunphy (Virginia Beach, VA), 18, and Trevor Saunders (San Clemente, CA), 19, on Sunday to compete for the Oakley Pro Junior Title.
Tomorrow will see the Oakley Newport Beach Pro Quarterfinals run before all the action culminates on Sunday, September 21, 2008. The 20th Annual Newport Beach Surf Championships will also run tomorrow.
The Oakley Newport Beach Pro and Oakley Pro Junior will be webcast LIVE via www.newportbeachpro.com

- Salinas Valley prison psychiatrist says mental health hospital suffering
The Department of State Hospitals' chief deputy director, the face of a controversial mental health program in Salinas Valley State Prison, is on extended leave.
In an email distributed to the staff statewide Monday, department director Cliff Allenby announced that "due to unforeseen circumstances, Chief Deputy Director Kathy Gaither will be out of the office for an extended period of time."
The department did not disclose the reason for Gaither's departure, or even acknowledge it earlier this week.
The announcement follows a federal court order to investigate complaints of dangerously low staffing levels at the department's mental health unit inside the prison in Soledad — allegations Gaither denied in recent court testimony.
There have been two inmate deaths in the past year at a program that saw none in the previous 10 years and was once the pride of the state's prison mental health system.
Staffers at the unit say there is an ongoing shortage of soap and clean clothes and sheets, and that psychiatric and nursing staff levels remain dangerously low.
One psychiatrist has testified that he and others were pressured to discharge patients early because of court orders to reduce waiting lists, an allegation Gaither also denied at her recent court appearance in a long-running federal case about California prison mental health care.
The same week as Gaither's testimony, The Herald published a January 2012 memo from a DSH administrator telling Salinas Valley staffers that the department wanted the staff to limit patient stays to less than nine months, and that "we are being reported as barriers ... by not moving patients in a timely manner to reduce the waitlist."
The department said it "has no such policy to discharge patients at nine months, or any set time period. Nor did we have such a policy or direction in January of 2012."
Allenby said in this week's email that all employee communication intended for Gaither should now be sent to him.
For some reason, Allenby's announcement Monday of the news about Gaither was not delivered to the Salinas Valley program's staff, who received an apologetic email Wednesday saying department officials were looking into why the prison unit's staff members were left off the mailing list.
Gaither is no newcomer to state politics. She worked nearly 20 years at the Department of Finance and then for the Cal State University system before she was appointed Undersecretary of Education by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2009.
In January 2012, the California Senate confirmed her appointment by Gov. Jerry Brown as deputy director of the state hospitals department, which at the time was called the Department of Mental Health, where she had been acting deputy director since 2011.
Gaither's leave comes after a sweeping overhaul of the Salinas Valley unit's administration, including replacing its Executive Director Charles DaSilva.
Salinas Valley's patient care and psychiatrist staffing levels remain a key issue in the federal lawsuit after nine psychiatrists wrote letters to DaSilva in January, saying they were working "under protest" because of unsafe working conditions.
Last week, Judge Lawrence Karlton ordered a federal special master to investigate the program and report his findings in 75 days.

If you look at just the last 2 previous years list of police events and compare it to this years, there is a rise in vandalism, theft, and drunken/drug events. Could be the economy and no jobs, could be we are breeding graduating more out of control youth. No matter the cause we need to start observing and altering the behavior course of these "on the rise" numbers, especially in domestic violence which too is alarming.

Community South gets FDIC scrutiny
Parsons, Tenn.-based Community South bank, which has two offices in Knoxville, has received a notice of charges and hearing from the FDIC, which alleges that the bank has engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices.
The notice was issued in September, and says the bank received a less-than-satisfactory capital rating in a January report of examination. The report said the FDIC determined that the bank was inadequately capitalized, and that commercial real estate loans constituted 504 percent of total risk-based capital.
It also said the bank has created concentrations of credit in SBA 504 commercial real estate loans, and that the bank has operated with inadequate earnings to augment capital.
Bank president Rick Inman said Monday that Community South is partly a community bank, and partly a small business lending division, with the latter originating and servicing SBA loans. Inman said that with the downturn in 2008, the secondary market for those commercial real estate loans was eliminated, and the bank "had to fund our commitments and portfolio some loans that otherwise would have been sold."
Inman said that as the economy has improved, some property values have bounced back from historic lows, while some small businesses have been able to catch up on their loans. He said the bank sold around $22 million worth of loans in the secondary market in September, and expects to sell another $17 million or $18 million in December.
Asked if there is any danger that the bank won't be able to continue operating, Inman said that wasn't the case, adding that "we're a well-capitalized financial institution." He also said the institution's community bank side was "healthy and profitable."
Through the first three quarters of the year, Community South lost a little more than $4 million.
The FDIC notice said a hearing would be held in Memphis to address the issue of whether Community South should receive a cease-and-desist order or should be required to take certain actions. A spokesman for the agency said the hearing may be scheduled for the spring of 2011. But Inman said the bank hopes to resolve the issues so that a hearing won't be necessary.

1. Acetyl-L-Carnitine
The current theory suggest that Acetyl-L-Carnitine may be more effective than other forms of Carnitine in conditions involving the brain, including Alzheimer's Disease.
It supports healthy brain function by stimulating neurotransmitters. Carnitine deficiencies may show up as fatigue, chest pain, muscle pain, weakness, hypotension and/or confusion.

Has open source hit a tipping point?
Tipping Point
Open source in the news, at events around the globe, and now delivered in convenient flyer form.
Today I read an article in the Harvard Business Review called Open Source Software Hits a Strategic Tipping Point. Author Laurie Wurster writes, "Based on surveys my colleagues at Gartner and I have conducted over the past several years, mainstream adopters of IT solutions across a widening array of market segments are rapidly gaining confidence in the use of open source software, with many now stressing its valuable features more than its risks."

The first community needs assessment in over a decade found that thousands of Charlotte County residents are in desperate need of financial help.
Now, charity organizers and county directors want to do something about it.
"It's like the working poor, but the hidden poor," said Vikki Carpenter, Charlotte County Human Services Director. "We don't always recognize them when we see them."
Directors from United Way of Charlotte County, Charlotte County Community Foundation and Charlotte County Human Services Department gathered data from the U.S. Census and surveys from 82 human service agencies.
There were six problem areas, but one really stood out.
"We have an abundance of working poor and that was really sort of the big take away for us," said Carrie Blackwell-Hussey, Charlotte United Way Executive Director.
Nearly 12 percent of the population in Charlotte County is below the poverty line.
Public meetings will begin November 6, where organizers will brainstorm ideas to help curb the growing issue.
Directors said it is too early to tell what their proposal will entail.
"We're planning a plan," said Deborah Gauvreau, Charlotte Community Foundation Non-profit Resource Director. "What we're putting together right now is a strategic work plan, key outcomes and a timeframe that we're really going to be taking this on."
They plan on having a final proposal in operation by Fall 2014.

Rated 5 out of 5 by aym1 Fabulous Organizer! I received this organizer free as a part of the Smead Organomics Advisory Panel a couple of years ago and I absolutely love it! It keeps my important information organized right at hand and projects easy to find. I recommend this product to anyone who loves organizing their life. November 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Yadira Love it, love it, love it! I use the Project Organizer to keep not only projects, but receipts organized. I love that I can change out the label easily and re-purpose the sleeves. Great job, Smead! I'm looking forward to buying some more!! October 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CAREBEAR SMEAD PROJECT ORGANIZER I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE WHO IS STARTING A PROJECT. I LOVE MINE & ALSO BOUGHT ONE FOR AN ORGANIZING FRIEND. September 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by gailsandra Best Organizer on the Market The Project Organizer is a crucial part of my daily work. I have a lot of projects going at once and this is the one tool that keeps me on track. July 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anne Great Project Management Tool The Smead Project Organizer is great for projects that expand and contract over time. I find it to be very handy for monthly board meetings that have several recurring topics. I can keep both current and some historical info all in one place. It reduces the amount of prep time when the meeting comes around each month. The organizer is also sturdy, so it lasts for a long time. I've re-labeled the tabs on the same folder for more than one project. Very cost effective. I wish I could find it at more retailers. But, I'm happy that I can always find it somewhere on line. June 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Valarie Amazing Product !!! I LOVE this product - as everything else wears out - I am replacing it with this. Love to put different parts of information in sections while still having all parts in 1 place. The internal folder pockets keep it all from spilling out - and LOVE the expansion!! Only way it could be better is make it in plastic so it will never tear (just because I will use it forever...!!!) May 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by LoriB Perfect for Projects and School! I manage a variety of projects as an employee of Smead. This project organizer keeps me on task with its ten filing sections complete with pockets and printed lines for notes. It makes it very easy to subdivide all of the work that is going on at once. I have also used these for my on-line college course work. They worked out great for keeping the study material and assignments straight, according to week. Great for both work and school!

WoW: Siege of Orgrimmar video covers all the new content in Patch 5.4
By John Funk on Sep 09, 2013 09.09.13
A new video from Blizzard introduces all the new content to come in its next major game update to World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, Patch 5.4 — The Siege of Orgrimmar. The headline feature of Patch 5.4 is the titular raid instance, in which members of the Alliance and Horde alike seek to invade the Orcish capital city of Orgrimmar and remove the renegade Warchief Garrosh Hellscream from power. The Siege of Orgrimmar starts in the ruined Vale of Eternal Blossoms and ends in a labyrinthine base underneath Ragefire Chasm, which is coincidentally the lowest-level instanced dungeon in the game. Patch 5.4 introduces another difficulty setting for raids alongside this newest one. "Flex" raiding is meant to be a median point between the easier Looking For Raid difficulty and Normal...

World of Warcraft patch 5.4 trailer brings the war home
By John Funk on Aug 15, 2013 08.15.13
A new trailer for World of Warcraft's patch 5.4, "Siege of Orgrimmar," features the leader of the Horde finally making his full-fledged turn as a villain. In the trailer, Horde warchief Garrosh Hellscream brings a locked chest into the sacred Vale of Eternal Blossoms before being confronted by the warrior Taran Zhu. The two exchange barbed words about Garrosh's father Grom, whose downfall was a major plot point in Warcraft 3, and come to blows. Garrosh is counting on the races of the Alliance and those he has excommunicated from the Horde to join forces and assault the Orcish capital city of Orgrimmar; the trailer shows some of the new boss fights and environments to come in the upcoming raid as players battle their way through the city and into the catacombs below. Garrosh concludes...

The board's decals are designed to look like artwork straight out of World of Warcraft, with a color palette reminiscent of that used for structures and environments in Mists of Pandaria. According to a listing on the NetEase page, only 1000 of these mahjong sets will be made available worldwide, although the set only appears to be sold through the Chinese-based company.

World of Warcraft players rack up 8.7 million achievements per day, but only one is a Legendary Pet Brawler
By Michael McWhertor on Mar 30, 2013 03.30.13
Since Blizzard Entertainment added achievements to its massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft in 2008, players have earned more than 13 billion of the virtual accolades — on average, about 8.7 million a day, said the game's lead content designer Cory Stockton. Stockton spoke about Blizzard's approach to designing and implementing achievements in World of Warcraft and its many expansions at a GDC panel this week, explaining that the virtual rewards are more than just a "badge of honor" for players, they're also a pathway for players to explore new content. They can encourage players to adventure to new zones and revisit dungeons to explore them in different ways. World of Warcraft's achievement design follows a set of rules, Stockton said. They should be...

Mists of Pandaria patch 5.2 is meant to bring back World of Warcraft's roots, says Blizzard
By Samit Sarkar on Mar 13, 2013 03.13.13
World of Warcraft developer Blizzard Entertainment released patch 5.2 for Mists of Pandaria last week, and the update was partly intended to bring back elements from earlier expansions, said lead systems designer Greg Street in an interview with IGN. "We felt like since [2010's World of Warcraft: Cataclysm], we'd lost our way a little bit," said Street. "We had some really epic quests and we've told some great stories, but the second-to-second combat out in the field wasn't as interesting." With patch 5.2, "The Thunder King," Blizzard wanted to "make a lot of cool stuff for players to do out in the world," Street explained. Some of that cool stuff exists on the isolated Isle of Giants. It's a new zone in which flying mounts are disabled, so players have to be wary of the elite...

World of Warcraft patch 5.2 tweaks talents across all classes
By Alexa Ray Corriea on Mar 11, 2013 03.11.13
The latest patch for World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria will fine-tune balance and tweak specific abilities across all classes, according to a series of posts on Battle.net explaining the changes. Unholy Death Knights have had their "quality of life" improved through several spell adjustments that make the battlefield easier to maneuver. Two player-versus-player abilities, Strangulate and Asphyxiate, now have reduced cooldown periods and a handful of other Blood-based attacks have been buffed. Druids have received healing buffs across the board, and the Wild Mushroom item has been redesigned to collect Druids' healing spells and unleash them all at once upon "blooming." Hunters' Marksmanship abilities now do increased damage and have a small boost applied to certain self-healing...

We are, indeed, TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY ! ! !
Original post made by jimf01 on Sep 19, 2012
And when you make a purchase, you are paying an additional pass through tax, in the form of corporate taxes, the US has the HIGHEST rates in the world. Do the corporations have a magic tax account that money shows up in? No, that is factored in to the price you pay for the product. You, the customer, pays their taxes.
And all of the fees that have gone into effect and/or increased. College fees for students, fees to use parks, waterways, hunt, fish, court fees (gotten a ticket lately? ), etc, etc.
California, you know we already pay some of the highest taxes in the country, now the Governor wants us to approve HIGHER taxes for everyone, via a sales tax increase which hits some of those least able to pay. So NO on Prop 30, the government already takes enough from the taxpayers. From ALL of the taxpayers.
We are, indeed, TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY!
NO on Prop 30.

We are already at 40% of GDP which is similar to many socialist countries. And yet the cry in CA is for more, more, more!

The federal government has operated on a budget of 18-20% of GDP for about fifty years. Since 2009, that number has exceeded 24% each year.
2012 budget outlays are set at $3.7 trillion , that is %24.3 of GDP. The biggest items are defense, health and human services and social security.

Jim - you are limiting perspectives when you focus only on Federal spending and exclude State and Local.
Most tax/spend zealots focus on only a portion of the problem with the hope of minimzing it.
I know this is not what you want to do so be careful about posting incomplete spending information.

(FOX 11CNS) - A professional skateboarder and punk rock singer nicknamed "The Master of Disaster" was charged today with assaulting his girlfriend at their Long Beach home.
Duane Thomas Peters, 52, is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday on one felony count of willful infliction of corporal injury, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Neighbors intervened after hearing a commotion shortly before midnight Friday and restrained Peters until police arrived. The woman suffered some injuries to her body, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Peters is jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail. If convicted as charged, he could face up to four years in state prison, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Along with his skateboarding career, in which he's known as a pioneer of innovative skateboard tricks, Peters was the lead singer of the punk rock band U.S. Bombs, formed in 1993. In 2000, he formed a new band, Duane Peters and the Hunns, later changed to Die Hunns.

4.08/5 rDev +3.6%
This is at their tasting room, with Johnny Cash on the tap handle, I had to try it. I asked for a 10oz, and they gave me a pint. Pity :)
Pours slightly murky, dark rich chestnut color. 1 finger, head..white a bit creamy.
Aroma is a bit over powered by the surroundings. Served a bit too cold imho. But, rich and nutty, sweet caramel and touch of twang from some hops. Floral if anything.
Smooth feel with a sweet-sharp combo finish. Nice beer.

3.8/5 rDev -3.6%
Draft at the 2011 Small Batch Festival.
Pours a very dark caramel/chestnut brown color that is completely opaque with faint mahogany edges and a 1.5 finger light beige head. Good retention, slowly fading into lasting cap. Sporadic rings and chunks of soapy lacing
Sweet malt aroma only slightly roasted with hints of hazelnut, toffee and biscuit. Faint chocolate and earthy hops.
Medium bodied and slightly roasted with a good balance of smokey malt and sweeter notes. Hints of chocolate, toffee, nut and faint coffee. Slightly acrid which kind of overpowers the sweeter notes, lingering into a long dry finish. Earthy hoops contribute to bitterness. I'm also picking up hints of caramel, lactic creamiess, chocolate, hazelnut and toast. Dry finish.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a shortage of injectable methotrexate, a chemotherapy drug that was approved in the 1970s to treat severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The shortage does not affect the supply of methotrexate tablets, which is the most common version of methotrexate prescribed by dermatologists for psoriasis treatment.
The National Psoriasis Foundation recommends that people concerned about the shortage of injectable methotrexate products speak with their doctors about treatment options.

Interior Secretary Salazar: An offshore leasing program that irks allTuesday, November 15th, 2011
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar offered a coy smile when asked how he managed to tick off both environmentalists and oil producers with the November 10 announcement that the government will hold its first oil and natural gas lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico since the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Two days earlier Salazar unveiled a leasing program for the Outer Continental Shelf that included three lease sales off the coast of Alaska.
"We didn't give everybody what they wanted 100 percent," Salazar said during an interview with The Post's editorial board on Monday. "I feel very good about the plan we put forward."
However, enviros and oil industry leaders aren't feeling too good about it. A spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute called the limited leasing plan a "missed opportunity" to bolster the county's energy security, create jobs and raises money through lease royalties – a huge source of income for the government. Environmentalists panned the sale as a "clear case of politics trumping science."
Salazar insisted there has been a "regulatory overhaul" including "blowing up" the Minerals and Management Service – the agency accused of getting too chummy with the oil industry and too lax in its oversight of the leasing program. How are things different? MMS was replaced witgh the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. The government's new spill response capability includes research, planning and equipment for underwater blowout containment, enhanced deepwater drilling safety measures and coordination among agencies.
"We have a regulatory regimen today that is very different," said Salazar, adding that after "we blew up MMS" it was "reorganized in a very different way."
As for offshore drilling in the Arctic, Salazar said more serious consideration is now given to regional limitations that would effect the government's ability to respond to a disaster. For example, the Coast Guard does not have as big a fleet in the Arctic as it does in the Gulf of Mexico.
"Plans are tailored to meet regional realities," Salazar said. "There are competing uses for the sea."
Defense uses trump oil drilling. The Navy's Atlantic fleet has put a large swath of the ocean off Norfolk, Virginia permanently out of consideration. What about drilling off the remainder of Atlantic coast – including Florida – an idea floated by President Obama in the weeks before the Deepwater Horizon spill?
"There are no lease sales off the Atlantic," Salazar said.

NORMAL, Ill. -- Illinois State University is another step closer in its search for a new school president.
The ISU Board of Trustees met Saturday to find a replacement for University President Doctor Al Bowman.
ISU spokesman Jay Groves says Florida-based search-firm Greenwood/Asher and Associates will now join the efforts.
Groves says ISU has worked with the firm in previous years.
The next step is getting a University search committee together to work with the firm and board of trustees.
The school hopes to name a new President before the fall semester.
Bowman, who is in his tenth year at ISU, announced last month he's retiring because of his health.

Bland earns 2013 European Tour card - just!
6:18pm Sunday 18th November 2012 in Sport By Gordon Simpson, Senior Sports Reporter
Richard Bland has secured his European Tour card for 2013 by the narrowest of margins.
The Stoneham pro earned the final qualification place in the order of merit on a tense last day of the campaign.
Bland finished in a tie for 69th at the Hong Kong Open, but had to endure a nervous wait to find out whether he had done enough to retain his place on Tour.
The Southampton-based player pocketed just €2,913 in prize money – but it proved to be a vital sum.
After results were calculated in his event, Bland was left in 118th in the Race to Dubai standings, with the top 119 securing a card.
However, with the South Africa Open – which was running simultaneously – finishing much later, the 39-year-old had to wait anxiously to see how far he would drop.
It quickly became apparent, however, that Bland's status on Tour was safe, with Tommy Fleetwood the only person able to overtake him at the death.
Bland ended his campaign with a total of €184,018 in prize money.
The standings were so tight, though, that he ended up retaining his card by just the tiny sum of €693 – the gap between him and the unfortunate Tjaart van der Walt in 120th position.

There was one hole in one tournament back in September when Richard took a 4 over 8 which cost him about 30000 in prize money. Glad that didn't come back to haunt him!

Jackson has returned to practice after missing time with a concussion.||||||| Jackson sustained a head injury in Sunday's loss to the Giants. Jackson, the only player in the NFL with two interceptions and two sacks, appears on track to play Sunday as the Browns (0-5) host Cincinnati. Jackson recorded three sacks and a pick when the Browns lost to the Bengals last month.
Jackson had three tackles in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Bengals.||||||| Jackson was sidelined with a concussion.
Jackson has been selected the AFC's top defensive player for September.||||||| Jackson, who missed 26 straight games over the past two seasons because of chest injuries, recorded 30 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks, forced a fumble and recovered one in helping the Browns win two of their first three games.
Jackson's is out for the season with the same kind of injury that ended last season after 10 games.||||||| The team placed Jackson on injured reserve on Saturday and replaced him with Sam Aiken, a veteran wide receiver released by New England earlier this month. Jackson had just returned to practice this week from a partially torn chest muscle sustained in training camp on Aug. 10. He practiced on Wednesday, but felt tightness and fatigue in his pectoral muscle on Thursday.
Jackson is getting a second opinion on his chest muscle injury - the second one he has sustained in a less than a year.||||||| Coach Eric Mangini said Thursday that there is no current plan for Jackson to have surgery. The Browns intend to have the injury to Jackson's pectoral muscle "quiet down" for a few weeks. Jackson missed Cleveland's final 10 games last season after tearing his left pectoral muscle against Pittsburgh and undergoing surgery.

mk-query-digest can help you find the queries that take the longest time to execute as compared to other queries. Optimizing these slow queries will make MySQL run faster by reducing the greatest delays. The real art of query optimization is more nuanced, but the basic goal is the same: find slow queries, optimize them, and increase query response times.
The tool is easy to use; executing mk-query-digest slow-query.log will print the slowest queries in slow-query.log. The tool includes support for "query reviews," for reporting queries you have not yet seen or approved, making frequent log analyses quick and efficient.

Essential MySQL tool No. 2: mydumper
Being able to generate data dumps quickly is vital for backups and server cloning. Unfortunately, mysqldump, which ships with MySQL distributions, is single-threaded and, thus, too slow for data-intensive jobs. Thankfully, the modern replacement, mydumper, uses multiple threads, making it 10 times as faster than mysqldump.
Also known as MySQL Data Dumper, this tool does not manage backup sets, differentials, or other parts of a complete backup plan. It just dumps data from MySQL as quickly as possible, enabling you to complete backups under tight time constraints, such as overnight, while employees are offline, or to perform backups more frequently than you would with mysqldump.
One technical point to know about mydumper is that it locks tables, so it is not the ideal tool for performing backups during operating hours. Then again, professional data recovery costs hundreds of dollars per hour, and you always get a bill even if the data isn't recoverable. mydumper is free and well worth exploring for even basic backups.
mydumper also comes in handy when cloning servers. Other tools perform complete hard drive duplications, but when all you need is MySQL data, mydumper is the fastest way to get it. Servers provisioned in a cloud are particularly suited to cloning using mydumper. Just dump your MySQL data from an existing server and copy it to the new instance.
Cloning is worthwhile for creating slave servers, benchmarking, and profiling, but nowhere is it more vital than in testing and development. Being able to spin up a replica for quick testing before going live is essential for dynamic MySQL environments. With mydumper, you can quickly create a server that is nearly identical to your production server, enabling your test results to better mimic production results.

Authorities are searching for two men who robbed a Subway restaurant in Hampton on Thursday.According to police, two men armed with semi-automatic handguns walked into sandwich shop on Highway 3 around 8:45 p.m. One employee, who asked FOX 5 not to use his name, was working alone. He said that the robbers ordered him to empty the cash register. When that turned up little money, they forced the employee at gunpoint to the back of the store and demanded that he open the safe. When the worker told the men that he didn't have the safe's code, they forced him to lie on the floor while they escaped."I was pretty convinced I was probably wasn't going to be walking out of there that night," the worker said. The worker said that he felt like the gunman who made the most demands seemed like a professional."He really gave me the impression that this was not his first rodeo," the worker said. "This guy knew what he was doing and just had everything down to clockwork. The second guy, though, he felt more like a tagalong."At one point during the robbery, the mask of the second gunman dropped and he walked by a surveillance camera several times. Anyone with information on the robbers is asked to call police.

There are a lot of teams looking for starting pitching, as there always are. The Rays have a glut of it and they're waiting for Edwin Jackson, Hiroki Kuroda, and Roy Oswalt to sign before they jack up their prices. But when you do the same thing with bottled water after a natural disaster, they call you unethical …
Two teams interested in rotation help are the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox. The Jays are dark-horse contenders in the AL East, with a solid lineup but a front-loaded rotation. The Red Sox are still the contenders we thought they were last January, but now we know the caveat is they desperately need pitching depth. Would the Rays consider an intra-division trade?
I'll guess it's a double-edged answer: yes to the Jays, no to the Red Sox. I suppose if the Red Sox offered Dustin Pedroia for a lock of Jason Tyner's hair, the Rays would trade with the Red Sox. Never say never. But there's something of an enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend dynamic between the Rays and Jays. If a trade between the two made baseball sense, I'd wager that the two teams wouldn't be timid about dealing within the division. At least, with each other. Everyone remembers the famous Chad Gaudin/Kevin Cash deal. The Red Sox and Yankees can play their own reindeer games, though.
So in this second installment of Fake Trades, we can picture the Rays acting like Eric Stoltz in Pulp Fiction, shuffling around his disheveled house in a bathrobe, offer his wares.
This is Wade Davis, from Lake Wales. Very good stuff. This is Jeremy Hellickson, from Iowa. Different, but equally good. This is James Shields, from California.
Now, the first two are the same. A couple of B-prospects. These are friend prices. But Shields is a little more expensive. This will take a boatload of talent in a trade, but when you pitch him, you will know where those extra prospects went. Now, there's nothing wrong with these two. These are real, real good pitchers. But this one is a ******* madman. I mean, control artist.
And if the Jays are serious about contending -- and if the Rays would consider trading Shields -- I don't think the Jays go small. There's no reason for Toronto to futz around with second-tier prospects for third-tier pitchers. If they don't want to pay for pitchers like Kuroda or Oswalt, they'll want to get someone better, whose cost in prospects would be mitigated by his team-friendly contract.
Blue Jays trade:
J.P. Arencibia - C
Noah Syndergaard - RHP
Rays trade:
James Shields - RHP
Robinson Chirinos - C
What, you thought the Rays were just going to give up Shields for a couple of teenagers who wouldn't even be ready until the team's new stadium in San Antonio was ready? Well, yeah, they could. But with this trade the Rays get five years of a cheap Arencibia for three years of a somewhat-costly Shields. This trade would make the Rays worse -- and a direct competitor better -- in 2012, so the difference in immediate contribution is made up with the inclusion of Syndergaard, who is a mighty fine prospect, but not one of the very best in the Blue Jays' system.
The Jays have Travis d'Arnaud, who should start in AAA in 2012, and he was likely going to push Arencibia off the position anyway. They'll get Chirinos back as cheap immediate depth, though they'd still be free to pursue Jason Varitek or Chris Snyder if either of those players unscrew their pickle jar. But the star of the deal, of course, is Shields. He's signed through 2012, with two team options (for a total of $21 million) that could take him through 2014. He'll cost less than Yu Darvish's posting fee, and he has a pretty good chance of being better in the short term.
In addition to the obvious advantages, this trade would also act as a Mathis bomb for the Rays, with Mathis shrapnel whizzing around the Jays' lineup. You'd think the Jays would be hip to this strategy, but if they're the ones who actually acquired Jeff Mathis, they probably aren't so cynical.
The Rays would get a long-term catcher, and they'd get by with one of the 842 pitchers they have in reserve, like Alex Cobb, Jeff Niemann, or Alex Torres. The Jays would get a pitcher for the front of their rotation to pair with Ricky Romero for the next three years. It makes sense. Now in grand mock-trade tradition, I would like to invite you to the comments section, where you can tell me just how much of an idiot I am.

FA nomination Edit
I think this article soundly covers M'Ress. - Archduk3 06:04, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
- Support: Though I will confess I know very little about the animated series, this article seems to cover the character well, combining information from multiple episodes in an informative way. The length of the article could be contested though I don't see this as a problem as the article is well-written and includes more sources than Telek R'Mor, for example, which only has references from one or two episodes yet is featured. There are also good background and apocrypha sections and relevant images throughout. -- TrekFan Open a channel 06:25, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
Comment: if the following were made a bit more understandable, I'd probably be happy to support this: "M'Ress became concerned the change in the planet's behavior from providing fun and amusement to hostility." --Defiant 10:53, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
- Support: informative, moderately well-written and good pics. --Defiant 18:32, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
- Comment: Re: "moderately well-written": I ran into wording issues in the opening lines. (Voice/tense changes in the middle of a sentence.) I also found other awkward phrasings. I don't know how important prose style is for a FA, and I'm not voting on an article with that type of stickler-ish criterion. I'm sure it's a worthy article; it's received a lot of support already. I must "recuse" myself. ;) — Cepstrum (talk) 16:50, February 7, 2011 (UTC)
- Support I don't know much about TAS either, but I learned some from reading this article. --31dot 20:14, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
- Support - a well-rounded article.–Cleanse ( talk | contribs ) 11:28, February 7, 2011 (UTC)

Peter Pan picture Edit
If we're going to include the image, shouldn't we at least talk about her in that series? Heck, I'm not even sure we could claim fair use, otherwise. Commodore Sixty-Four(talk) 14:33, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, I added some stuff based on info from another MA article. Now the image makes sense. Commodore Sixty-Four(talk) 15:23, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone know if this reflects all the comics data? I added a shot implying she has a relationship with Sulu, and data from a site about her family's names. We could be missing a lot here. +Yc 07:01, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

History & Funding
The College of Wooster AMRE program began in 1994 as the Mathematics Clinic. The Clinic was funded by a seed grant from the Hewlett-Mellon Presidential Discretionary Fund for Institutional Advancement along with a nominal client fee, and was based on a similar program at Harvey-Mudd College. During the first summer of its operation, the program employed six students on projects with Smith Dairy and the City of Wooster.
The Hewlett-Mellon grant continued to aid the AMRE program financially throughout 1995 and 1996. Client fees were increased and additional funds were received from the College's Office of Undergraduate Research, the Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs, and the payment of indirect costs by the College of Wooster.
The summer of 1995 saw the program grow to nine student participants and three projects, and in 1997 eleven students worked on four projects. Since that time, there have been between five and twelve students employed each summer working on between two and four projects.
Although almost all projects have been for local clients, in 1996 AMRE was employed by its first (and only, so far) out-of-state client. The student team developed a production scheduling system for Vermeer Manufacturing of Pella, Iowa. Other projects for clients outside of the Wooster area have been done for Bell and Howell Systems from the Cleveland area and Goodyear Tire and Rubber of Akron.
In November of 1998, the College hosted the first AMRE Projects Day. This annual event features presentations by the AMRE teams of the previous summer followed by a luncheon hosted by the College President. Projects Day is a good vehicle for introducing prospective clients and prospective student participants to the AMRE program.
A major financial step in AMRE's history occurred in 1999 when The College of Wooster Class of 1950 chose to make an endowment for AMRE part of their 50-year reunion class gift. Beginning in 2000, the endowment fund has provided about 25% of the total program operating costs. Client fees constitute about 40% of the cost and the remaining costs are covered through other College sources.
Some Stats at a Glance...
- 196 students have participated in the program. 49 of these students participated twice and 5 participated 3 times!
- AMRE has been in existence for 19 years.
- We have completed 99 projects with 29 different clients.
- AMRE had a record 25 students complete 10 projects in the summer of 2011
- Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company has sponsored 14 projects!
- Progressive Insurance has sponsored a project in 8 of the last 9 years.
- The Prentke-Romich Company has sponsored 7 projects.

The Scottsdale Fire Department rescued a 60-year-old male who was injured while hiking in the Sonoran Preserve, at Lost Dog Wash Trail.
According to Scottsdale Fire Capt. Danny Ables, the victim was out walking for two hours Sunday afternoon when he tripped and fell, injuring himself.
The victim was stuck about a half mile up the trail, unable to walk.
Scottsdale Fire crews used a "big wheel" to rescue the victim. 16 firefighters responded, and assisted the man down.
He was transported to Scottsdale-Shea Medical Center with a minor head and knee injury.
"Always walk with a buddy, tell someone where you are going, what time you are expected back, bring plenty of water, wear proper shoes, bring a cell phone, and wear sun screen," reminds Capt. Ables.

Hours after the Dolphins had announced Friday that they had released Joey Porter, the outspoken outside linebacker was back on the roster. Word is the release put Miami over the league's salary cap, so they had to undo his termination.
"The release of Joey Porter was determined to be an invalid termination," the Dolphins said on their Web site. "Therefore at this time, Porter reverts back to the Miami Dolphins roster."
It is still expected that the team will release Porter before the start of free agency March 5, particularly in light of his comments critical of the organization during Super Bowl week.
The 11-year veteran originally signed with Miami as a free agent on March 7, 2007. After struggling through the '07 season, he came back to lead the AFC in sacks in '08 with 17½.
He started 14 games in '09 and finished the season with 41 tackles, nine sacks and one forced fumble. He turns 33 in March. The four-time Pro Bowler played the first eight seasons of his career with the Steelers, whom he helped win Super Bowl XL.

Girl Scouts Show Appreciation to Mayor, City Council Members
HOUSTON (Feb. 18, 2009) – City of Houston Mayor Bill White and City Council received a sweet treat on Tuesday, Feb. 17, as Girl Scouts thanked them for their leadership and their work to make our world a better place. Donning Girl Scout sashes and vests adorned with merit badges and insignia, the girls delivered a bag filled with Girl Scout cookies to the mayor and each council member.
"It was a real treat for the girls to be in the council chambers and see how a meeting is conducted," said Deanna Lopez, whose daughter, Laurie, was one of the girls delivering the cookies. "It's good for girls to see there are rules on how to behave and conduct business in real life, not just in Girl Scout meetings."
Every year, thousands of girls, with the support of their family, friends and loves ones, participate in the premier financial literacy program in the country- the Girl Scout Cookie Sale! Through this program, girls learn skills that will benefit them their entire lives. They learn about teamwork, goal-setting and fiscal responsibility. The cookie sale allows troops to raise funds so they can conduct community service projects, attend programs and more. More importantly, it helps girls develop courage, confidence and character, to make the world a better place. It prepares them to be leaders tomorrow.
There's still time to satisfy your cookie craving! Beginning February 20, girls will be offering cookies at cookie booths outside of grocery stores and other retail venues. The sale ends March 29. The public can call 1-888-GS-COOKIE or enter their zip code and be directed to the nearest Girl Scout Cookie Booth.

An "automatic stop" activated before a CTA train plowed into an O'Hare Airport escalator, an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday morning.
"Whether it did it in time or not — that's an analysis we have to figure out." said Ted Turpin, the NTSB investigator in charge of piecing together why the Blue Line train failed to stop early Monday, injuring 32 people, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
The train was traveling at "25 or 26 mph" when it approached the station, Turpin said, the proper speed for that area.
NTSB officials have scheduled an interview with the female CTA operator for 1 p.m. Tuesday.
On Monday, Robert Kelly, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local, said "the indications are she may have dozed off."
With the O'Hare station out of commission, shuttle buses ferried travelers to and from the Rosemont station Tuesday morning.
That arrangement might continue for a while, with Turpin saying it could be a week before the train can be removed and the track is usable again. The train's first car, which climbed up past a bumper and onto the station's escalator, will likely have to chopped up to remove it, Turpin said.
In the meantime, investigators will be studying video from 41 station cameras and from the front end of the train, he said. They also will examine such things as the mechanical system and track condition as they try to piece together the crash.
The operator underwent a drug and alcohol test after Monday's crash, as typically required in such an incident.
"She assured me there would be no problem with her passing," Kelly said.
He said his speculation was that the operator was "extremely tired," so instead of braking, the train plowed into the bumping post, which should have stopped the train. But Kelly said he speculated that the post "leaned forward" and "became a catapult."
The impact with the post may have forced the operator's hand forward on the "dead man's" control, to the position of accelerate, Kelly said. That would have given the train a bigger surge up the escalator.
The operator was "very distraught" and "shaken by this." She was treated for leg injuries at a hospital and released.

A local chapter of the Boy Scouts says their utility trailer was recently stolen - and they are pleading for its return.
The troop was getting ready for a big camping trip when they discovered their trailer, with most of their camping gear inside, had been stolen.
The boys had worked hard fundraising to buy the trailer, now it's gone.
The trailer was parked near their scout hut in Hampton, Georgia, which is directly behind a church.
Anyone with information is asked to call Henry County authorities.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.
