Over the past 67 years, the Cherry Festival has grown from a small fundraiser to one of the most highly anticipated community events in North East.
Music, games, rides, and of course cherry pies are some of the attractions that have been drawing in crowds since 1945.
The tents are set up, the rides are being installed, and the bands are booked, but this year there's been one more thing on organizer's minds; the damaged cherry crop.
Some farmers lost their entire cherry crop this year, causing concern for an annual event named after the fruit. But organizers say they'll still have plenty to offer.
Gary Jones, the chairman of the Cherry Festival, said that they always use local cherries and that the farms have done a good job "getting what they can".
The North East Fire Department hosts the event as a fundraiser, and the money is used for equipment, insurance, and sending some of the volunteer firefighters to school.
One game operator, Frances Freeborn, said the sense of community is one of the best parts of the festival. She's been working at the festival for the past 37 years, and said she's seen people go from the time they were kids to now bringing their own families.
The Cherry Festival starts Tuesday July 10, and runs through Saturday July 15.

He probably gets more leniency because many just feel as though Floyd is not likable, and in turn, are tired of his rhetoric while not really wanting to make the fights people want to see. Demeanor has a lot to do with how people react. Plus, Pacquiao actually is fighting and he isn't taking a prolonged / undefined break after just coming back from retiring.
Good point. Prolonged retirements do make Floyd look disinterested in the sport, which is probably true.
As far as the PR war goes, Team Mayweather was like a bunch of kids trying to play around with a grown man in Arum...and he took them to school. Hence the fallout we are seeing. Add to it Team Mayweather's reaction and the damage control after Floyd said he just was not interested in boxing - and that's where we are now. The denial of any sort of negotiations combined with Greenburg, who in fact was the middle man and has had plenty of issues with Arum in the past, coming out and confirming what Arum said was a bad look for them...especially Ellerbe who jumped on the grenade.
Agreed with this also. But I think it says how much of this is actually about how facts are reported as opposed to the facts themselves. This whole thing has gone from a battle of the fighters to a battle of the promoters. At least that's the way I see it.

PRO BASKETBALL; Breakdown Reveals Heat Needs More Effort
By LIZ ROBBINS
Published: May 27, 2006
Pat Riley is a paint-by-numbers guy.
He has always seen the picture, broken it down scientifically, then presented his findings to his players so they could give him a better picture in the next game.
The only difference over the years -- from his start as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers in 1979-80 to being head coach for the Miami Heat now -- is the technology.
He has gone from working with videotapes that went blank when he rewound them to having a computer operations room with a staff, which isolates mistakes from every angle and quantifies them on a spreadsheet.
The result from 25 perspectives told the same story about Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals Thursday, when the Detroit Pistons won, 92-88.
The Heat lacked effort.
''We were down 17 percent across the board, effort and defense, from the first game,'' Riley said Friday after a film session and a brief practice.
It would have been worse if the Heat -- led by Dwyane Wade -- had not scored 17 points in the final 1 minute 46 seconds and nearly pulled off a remarkable comeback. But for Riley, the numbers do not lie.
''In the fourth quarter last night, we had an 80 percent effort and we had an 87 percent in the fourth quarter in the first game,'' he said, citing the Heat's 91-86 victory Tuesday in Game 1. ''In the first quarter, we had 57 percent, and then 65 percent. You ain't going to win with that.''
That was the lesson Riley gave his players during the film session, in preparation for Game 3 on Saturday.
''We had a lot of video, and he just told us we got to have a lot more effort,'' the backup point guard Gary Payton said to sum it up.
He was part of the role-player problem for the Heat, shooting 1 for 6 from the floor. The starting forward Antoine Walker shot 3 for 12 (1 for 7 from 3-point range) and scored 11 points. Udonis Haslem, also a starting forward, shot 1 for 5. The starting guard Jason Williams was 3 for 8, scoring 7 points.
Only Wade and Shaquille O'Neal had dominant games, combining to shoot 20 for 36 for a total of 53 points.
''We have to get it going,'' Payton said. ''But our first unit has to get it going, too, and when we go in there, we have to keep the momentum up.''
Riley said he was disappointed that his team did not have the energy it had in the first quarter of Game 1, when the Heat shot 15 for 18. The Pistons, sensing they needed to tie the series before heading to Miami for Games 3 and 4, led by as many as 14 points in the first quarter of Game 2.
''It's a subconscious thing more than anything else,'' Riley said. ''Our players came knowing they had a chance to put them and their backs to the wall. It's human nature; I've seen it throughout my career. I had a hard time accepting it, and when I presented the numbers today, they said, 'Wow, no wonder we didn't play well.' ''
Riley said there were subcategories of effort and ''super effort,'' in which the Heat did not perform well for Game 2. That is no surprise, considering they committed 18 turnovers -- 9 by Wade.
''If we're over 75 percent effort and over 73 percent defense, we'll win 83 percent of the games,'' Riley said. ''In my career, that's how I measure effort and defense, and if you meet these criteria every night, regardless of how you are offensively, you have a chance to win. And if you have a great offense with those numbers, you never lose.''
In the middle of a series that could define his legacy, as coach and as team president, Riley seemed to find comfort in the numbers -- rolled up in collated spreadsheets in his hands. And he found enjoyment when recalling the old days of video scouting.
He did not want to be interrupted while he told how Bill Bertka, an assistant coach when Riley played for the Lakers, used to splice 35-millimeter game film, hang it vertically in his home, then throw in a few nonrelated basketball pictures to see if the players were paying attention.
Riley said he was confident his team could see the goal without overt motivation. He said that since the defending champion Spurs ''are no longer part of the picture,'' his players should want to beat the Pistons, the team that won the title before the Spurs.
''They're a veteran team; I shouldn't have to hit them over the head with that,'' he said. ''You paint the picture, you get them ready and you turn them loose.''

SA leg for this royal wedding
Five days after marrying her Prince Charming, South Africa's Charlene Wittstock will throw a lavish seaside party in Durban to celebrate her royal nuptials.
Details of the elaborate affair at the five-star Oyster Box Hotel in Umhlanga Rocks on July 7 are closely guarded.
But the Sunday Times understands that the 200 guests will include royalty from other countries, as well as Wittstock's friends and family.
The party will be held just five days after Wittstock, a former Olympic swimmer, ties the knot in a fairytale wedding with Prince Albert of Monaco.
The former playboy and only son of Hollywood actress Grace Kelly and the tiny principality's late ruler, Prince Rainier III, will be part of a massive International Olympic Committee delegation attending a conference in the city from July 4 to 9.
Wittstock, 32, will use the opportunity to throw the party for those who can't make it to her Monaco wedding.
In February she stayed at the Oyster Box when she returned to South Africa and swam the Midmar Mile to raise funds for the Special Olympics.
The hotel underwent a R400-million refurbishment two years ago, resulting in industry magazine Condé Nast Traveller rating it as one of the best in the world and including it on its Hot Spa and Hot Hotel list.
Oyster Box general manager Wayne Coetser confirmed that Wittstock and Albert had chosen a tailor-made menu.
"It's a lavish affair, with a menu that will feature some South African delicacies," said Coetser, adding that only the "best champagne" would be served to complement the "bespoke" menu by executive chef Kevin Joseph.
"We're keeping everything under wraps, but I can say it will be a luxurious affair," said Coetser.
Rooms at the hotel, which cost between R4500 and R7990 a night, are fully booked.
Management has earmarked a prestigious suite for the newlyweds. The most exclusive would be the presidential suite, which costs R50000 a night.
The hotel's website describes it as "split over two levels, with a private lift ... the joy of a grand master bedroom with its own calm, exceptionally comfortable seating area and an intimate personal study".
On Friday, the palace's press office was unavailable for comment.
But a packed schedule for the two-day wedding has been released.
The civil wedding begins at 5pm on July 1 in the Throne Room of the Prince's Palace.
Giant screens erected on Palace Square will broadcast the wedding to the people of Monaco.
Less than an hour later, the bridal couple will appear on the balcony of the Salon des Glaces to salute the public, "who will be treated to a cocktail buffet", according to the palace website.
A further reception for residents will follow in the port, the highlight being a sound-and-light show by Jean-Michel Jarre.
The next day, the religious ceremony will take place at 5pm in the main courtyard of the Prince's Palace, where Wittstock's Giorgio Armani wedding gown will be on display.
At 6.30pm, the couple will head to the Sainte Dévote Church.
The official dinner and ball begins at 9pm at the Opera Garnier and on the terraces of the Monte Carlo Casino.
The entire ceremony wraps up at midnight with a fireworks display.

So who's done the best coaching jobs in the SEC this year? Certainly there have been some solid performances and there have been some poor ones. I'll throw out my rankings here. I hope I get some comments on this one.
- The Orgeron. No wins in conference. I know they have put some scares into people and I still think they were jobbed against Bama, but no wins is no wins.
- The Sabanator. The loss to La-Monroe was bad, but it's the course that this team has taken that is most worrisome. If the talent on this team is so bad, then why did that take LSU to the wire? If they have no character, then how do you explain second half comebacks against Arky and the Dawgs?
This is a guy that's averaged 4 losses in his career--and that's before this season. His national championship season was the only year that he lost fewer than 3 games at LSU, and let's not forget that the title game was against an Oklahoma team that was coming off a 35-7 spanking at the hands of Kansas State.
10. Nutt. It was tough splitting Saban and Nutt, but at least Nutt's boys play for him. Sure, the injury to Monk hurt, but when you've got McFadden AND Felix Jones there's no excuse for three wins in conference.
Fayettnam is the setting of the worst soap opera in America, and Nutt created the whole thing himself.
9. Spurrier. They started off like gangbusters and he managed to come into Athens and possibly cost the Dawgs a national championship, but the wheels fell off when it mattered the most. Yes, he ran into one of the great buzzsaws in SEC history when McFadden ran wild on them, but the Chickens haven't really looked good against anyone this year.
Maybe Stevie did a great job of making games ugly and winning with lesser talent like he did in the Classic City, but I'm slotting him here because of his team's collapse. 4 losses heading into Clemson is never a good thing.
8. Bobby Johnson. I like Coach Johnson a lot and I wish I could rank him higher than this, but the fact is that Vandy has a losing record. The Dores have been close against the Dawgs and Vols, but a poorly timed fumble and a kick off an upright prevented Johnson from being much higher on this list.
The most underrated thing about Johnson's job at Vandy is the significant increase in talent he's brought in. Chris Williams, Goff, and Bennett are all top of the line SEC football players.
7. Tubbs. TT started out the season horribly. In hindsight, the USF loss looks worse while the Miss State loss doesn't look so bad, but neither was good for the program. In Tubby's defense, he's been hamstrung by a shellshocked QB all season and managed to beat UF in the Swamp which is always impressive. He's also dealt with the Lester situation all season long--but that's just demonstrated his program's ability to sweep a cheating scandal under the rug.
It'll be interesting to see how the Tigers bounce back from the UGA loss this weekend. There's a lot of pressure on them this weekend. For once, there's more fear of an embarrassing loss in the Iron Bowl than there is reward of extending the streak.
- Urban Meyer. How a team this talented managed to lose 3 games so far on the year is amazing. They blow out the little guys, but they've gotten punched in the mouth by rugged teams and they haven't responded well. They look unbeatable at times. Why don't they look that way against teams that aren't intimidated by their athletes?
- Fullmer. I know all about the embarrassing losses, but the fact of the matter is that this man has his team in control of the SEC East race. That's about the only good thing I have to say about this guy. I grudgingly give him a nod on this list.
- Rich Brooks. He DOES have time for this BS. The Cats have faded a bit down the stretch, but they have joined the ranks of the middle of the road SEC team. Congratulations, UK, you are now not only capable of losing to 10 of the 12 conference teams, but you can also knock off the #1 team in the country. Welcome to the roller coaster.
- Les Miles. Much like Fullmer, I grudgingly give this man his due. I think they've underachieved terribly, but they have beaten a lot of good teams thusfar with a huge bullseye on their backs. Still, LSU fans will be glad to see him bolt for UM. Those 'gutsy' calls that have paid off for the Hat thusfar will turn into boneheaded mistakes when his teams don't have overwhelming talent.
- Mark Richt. I don't need to tell anyone on here about the job that the Reverend has done. I'll just point out something I think has gotten short shrift. That is the development of these young guys all over the team. You can have your emotional ploys, I'll take Richt's masterful sprinkling in of Curran, Boling, Dent, Figgins, Knowshon, et al into the starting lineup. Sure, many of you think he should've had them in there from day one, but we've seen this team steadily grow without showing many signs that they're a young team at all.
1. Sly Croom. Getting Croomed doesn't have the same cache it once did, does it? This is a guy who's been doing it right in StarkVegas and it's paying off. Like UK and Vandy have done with their coaches, Miss State hasn't listened to the message board idiots and has let a good football coach do his job and it's paid off.
When this guy gets an SEC level QB, he'll be real trouble. Imagine where Bama would be right now if they had picked this guy over Shula a few years ago.
Just an incredibly solid football coach. One of the great stories of the year.

Coyotes will eat your pets and are in Georgia to stay.
That is probably not the message more than a hundred people who showed up at an information session in one neighborhood wanted to hear Monday night.
But an animal trapper said that last month he caught eight coyotes near Ponce de Leon and the Decatur city limits.
Some people at the meeting urged others not to kill coyotes. "What you want to do is step up and confront the coyote. They are scared of you, so if they see a challenge and don't see you backing down, they read your body language and will take off," said Jessica McKee, a coyote advocate.

Where can I get an inexpensive custom?
Hey guys, I just recently learned of Ran Guitars, and really dug there stuff. It was a plus that they had really great prices, but after looking into it more I found out their prices have raised since then and now are about the same as regular customs made here in the US.
So I'm here just asking if anyone can help me in finding a place similar, Nice custom guitars with a nice pricetag. Thanks for anything.

I moved my IRA to Alliant and opened other 5 yr. cds. I use the ACH feature as my hub--usually transfers funds overnight as long as the request is there before noon CST. Checking pays almost same interest as savings as long as statements are electronic and there is 1 ACH deposit in cycle. Free atm use at the COOP network. One thing I can't stand--the non-stop loud commercial announcements if I'm on hold. Fortunately don't have to call them often. Excellent web site with edeposit.
Alliant CU is our primary CU for everyone in our family. Alliant's IRA department personnel have been very helpful with setting up accounts and handling transfers from other institutions.
I would highly recommend this Credit Union to everyone. We have been with Alliant since Feb 2009 and have checking, savings, CD's, Traditional & Roth CD IRA's and Education IRA's accounts.
I've had Alliant as my main checking and ACH hub for 2 years now. Opened an account because of the free HSA account, but soon trf'd all my transactions over to them.
1) Mobile check deposit - I actually get a handwritten paper paycheck (I'm the last person in America to get a handwritten paycheck)! Alliant makes funds available immediately upon submitting the deposit from my phone! Can't believe it!
2) I can set up umpteen ACH transactions, recurring or one-time. And I have 10 accounts linked. Never a problem. No costs.
3) Not that I ever use them, but they even sent a box of paper checks - free.
4) Secure message requests are resolved within minutes to at most a couple hours. Great customer service.
And I basically make the same amount of interest on my liquid checking as on savings (it's not much, but it's something!)
Plan to stay with this bank/credit union for the foreseeable future.
I just signed up tonight online (I live out of state). I had a question while applying, and even though it's the middle of the night, they have 24/7 telephone support right here in the US (not some call center in India somewhere). THe fees (or lack of fees) is impressive. Free ATM usage, even at non-member ATMs (free at least on Alliant's end). Free checking accounts if you want. On the CO-OP ATM network (among others), so you can easily find deposit-taking ATMs near you if you're not local to them. And though it's not advertised, as of this writing (Nov 2012), when I created my account and was ready to fund the $5 needed (to open a Share 00 savings), Alliant even supplied the $5 free to new member, so I didn't even have to fund it tonight! One of the reasons I'm joining is that I want to open up an HSA. Not only are their HSAs completely fee-free (free unlimited HSA checks, free debit card, no HSA transaction fees of any kind), but they're paying interest: 1.25% (just about the best you can do anywhere without a monthly fee). Not only that, but EVERYTHING is laid out right there for you to download. PDF forms for this, for that, for whatever you need. No need to try to find them buried in the site somewhere. And joining has been a breeze. Everything laid out nice and neat. To join takes just a $10 contribution to a VERY good cause -- a foster home organization. And at least as of now, Alliant will even give you free the mandatory $5 you have to have in your "00" share account.
I'm someone who has a wonderful local credit union that I use for my everyday banking, but they don't do HSAs, so I did a lot of research, and found Alliant. They're as good, if not better, than my local CU, and who knows, in time I might switch most of my everyday banking to them. What I've seen so far has been impressive. The best way I can put it is, if *I* was suddenly the head of a credit union somewhere, this is the way I'd want to run it. Again, I've just signed up with them, but from what I've seen so far (from the great 24hr service to so many things being free without fees, to the fantastic, easy online presense they have making things so easy!) that I just had to come here and leave an initial review.
Folks, check this place out. It's impressive. You might just find yourself leaving your current bank and making that your new home. I can see by the other reviews here that others are just as impressed.
Great CU, the CEO values its members and the staff is helpful and kind. Not to mention great rates, mobile banking, easy loan process with docusign and online tools, great savings rates, fair fees, tons of free ATYM's (over 70,000) and 24 hour live member service via phone that is quick and friendly. Oh and they have mobile deposit and a nice online banking interface too!
You want to open a checking account? Great! All you have to do is donate money to this charitable organization over here, then come back and fill out this absurdly complex account application (which you get to fill it out twice, because we're going to time out your session when you go ask your wife for her driver's license number), and then we're going to deny your account application without giving you any explanation of why.
Have a nice day!
I have been a member for a little over a year and I'm extremely pleased with this credit union. My latest encounter just prompted me to write a review even though this awesome credit union doesn't really need one. I just have a brick and mortar bank (Chase) to do all of my cash deposits so that I can transfer them into my credit union for a higher savings rate. Chase closed my account for no good reason, causing my ach transfers to bounce and incur fees. I contacted Alliant's customer service about my situation (which was NOT my fault) and they graciously reversed the fee and replied in ONE day.
Thank you so much Alliant!
Opened Savings, Checking HSA at Alliant based on great reviews here, high HSA interest (relatively - everything is pitiful now!) and good mobile banking solutions (eDeposits on phone).
I have since started using this account much more than my ING.
1) my scanned paychecks are available within minutes to me (ING=3days)
2) I earn nearly as much on accessible checking account funds as I do at ING for Savings money, and it's more accessible.
3) ING checks are NOT usable for eChecks, which I occasionally do need utilize. Alliant's clear within a day or two, just like a paper check would.
4) ACH's and transfers are reflected next-day in most cases if initiated through Alliant.
So far, I'm very pleased with Alliant.
I have been a member since 1966 (United Airlines Credit Union). Their services and people are the best. I am also a member of American Airlines Credit Union and Wings Financial Credit Union (Northwest Airlines Credit Union).

Two red zone 4th-and-1's in the fourth quarter were the difference in a sloppy, turnover-filled game between the Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans, as Houston pulled out a 17-10 victory.
After Andre Johnson injured his previously healthy hamstring going for a bomb from rookie Houston QB T.J. Yates, the Texans marched down the field on a 19-play, 85-yard drive that took over 10:00 off the clock and gave them the go-ahead touchdown.
The key play of the drive was a 4th-and-1 conversion at the Atlanta 10-yard line by Houston RB Arian Foster.
Foster and Ben Tate had a huge day on the ground against the NFL's second-rated rush defense, combining for 152 yards and 1 TD on 42 carries, despite the Falcons repeatedly stacking the box in an attempt to make Yates, the Texans third-string QB, beat them through the air.
Yates had a solid game in his first career start, completing 12-25 passes for 188 yards and 1 TD while using his athleticism to buy time in the pocket.
The only mistake he made, a pick-six in the fourth quarter, was called back because of a penalty on Atlanta in the secondary.
The penalty was one of a series of costly mental errors that the now 7-5 Falcons will rue if they miss the playoffs. Matt Ryan threw two interceptions in the first quarter, while Atlanta had another defensive touchdown called back after both teams assumed a Yates fumble was actually an incompletion and began wandering on to the field.
But the costliest mistake of all was on yet another 4th-and-1 late in the game, as Ryan completed a pass to TE Tony Gonzalez for a first down only to have it taken back because of a delay of game penalty. The Falcons came up short on 4th-and-6 with less than 3:00 left and then again on a last-second heave into the end-zone by Ryan.
Houston is now 9-3 with a commanding two-game lead in the AFC North, but any celebration was subdued by Johnson's latest hamstring injury, as he had just returned after missing six games with an injury in his other hamstring.

The team at BeauCoo goes to great lengths to ensure the BeauCoo is a safe, secure and body positive social network. It's very important to us that our users understand why we make the choices we have, how we protect sensitive information (like your email address and body dimensions) and who we share this information with (simply put - NOBODY).
On sharing information with other social networks like Facebook: One of the methods to create an account is to connect with Facebook. This worries some users because they don't know if we'll share this information. Our policy on sharing information to Facebook is simple. We don't. Ever. We use Facebook for one thing - to check that you self-identify as a woman.
The only time information is shared with Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr is when you choose to share a post publicly. When it is we strip out most of the information in the post and only show a few, non-sensitive and non-personally identifying bits like where you found the item. We never share your measurements or information - it's simply an image and some text with a link back to BeauCoo so people who find your post interesting can sign up.
In order to make BeauCoo a better product we collect information on things like how, when, where and from what devices people use BeauCoo. We do this so we can improve the product by tweaking things like screen layout or usability. Because we're a small team we use information like this to help us prioritize what needs to be fixed most.
Sometimes it's interesting to other people to share stats on how awesome our community is or how people like to use our site. We don't put any detail in this information if we publish it.
When you sign up you trust us with some pretty sensitive information. If you don't want to share that information with us it's likely that your experience in BeauCoo won't be very good :-(.
Like above we may aggregate some of our user data on how people use our site. We never share any personal info in this aggregate data (and have actually never shared data on how people use our site)
There's two kinds of people that get to see the information you share with BeauCoo: BeauCoo employees (5 of us) and BeauCoo contractors. Everyone at BeauCoo is bound by nondisclosure agreements and privacy agreements and subject to immediate dismissal for any behaviour that's inappropriate. The only time we'd ever share info is if law-enforcement legally forced us too - but the chances of that are pretty low to be frank.
We'll send you emails, but we'll try to at least keep them interesting and non-spammy. We love feedback too and email is the best way for us to ask for your opinion and feedback.
Everyone uses cookies to make life on the internet easier. If you don't like them, turn them off in your browser - but chances are your BeauCoo experience won't be very good :-(
Sometimes we have to update our privacy policy - usually just tweaks to help clarify our policies. If you're curious please feel free to check back from time to time.
We love feedback and want you to feel safe. If you have any concerns feel free to email any of the co-founders with questions.

Every so often I have the opportunity to correspond with a PGA Tour player and pick their brain regarding current events in professional golf and the status of the Tour. This week's guest is Ryan Moore, who over the past few seasons has certainly made a name for himself both on Tour and in professional golf on a global scale.
Ryan and I had the opportunity to discuss his thoughts on "the youth movement" on Tour, the Official World Golf Rankings, the status of American golf and his reasoning behind finally choosing to play under an endorsing sponsor.
Adam: At the Wells Fargo Championship, the PGA Tour saw another first-time winner in Rickie Fowler at the Wells Fargo Championship. In 2009, you won your first event at the Wyndham Championship. What would you say is the most difficult aspect of capturing that first win on Tour
Ryan: For me it was the patience and knowing in the belief that it is going to happen. Just continually telling yourself that it is possible. You lose more often in golf, so you have to keep that positive belief in yourself.
As more and more young talent, such as yourself, continue to make a name for themselves on Tour, American golf fans can only hope that one of these new names will "carry the torch" for American golf into the next decade and beyond. What is your opinion on the status of American golf right now?
American golf is in a lot of ways, highly underrated. With Tiger winning so often, that isn't normal. We have several young players who have won and are making a name for themselves. I think it is in a great place.
New players on Tour are highly-marketable in a variety of ways. In September 2011 you signed your first corporate endorsement deal with Shift4, whose logo we now see on your golf shirts. For the longest time you played without any major endorsements. Why make the change now, and do you feel a player can thrive on TOUR without endorsement contracts?
Well for the first 3 years on tour I had a sponsor with Ping and Oakley. I then went a year in a half without sponsor until I found the right people and company in Shift 4. They are my first corporate sponsorship. They are great people and a great family based company, as evident by their Birdies for Shriners campaign that we have teamed up to give back to charity.
You have had some strong finishes in the majors over the years, including a tie for 9th at the 2006 PGA Championship, a T-10 at the 2009 US Open, and a top-15 finish at the 2005 Masters. Which major does your game translate to the best?
I like majors in general. I like tougher golf and par as a great score, which is more common in the majors. So they all set up well to my liking.
Which would please you more in terms of career aspirations: winning a major, or being on a victorious US Ryder Cup team?
Winning a major(s).
Ok Ryan, last question, and thank you so much for your time: As of the time of this writing, you are currently-ranked 69th in the Official World Golf Rankings. What are your thoughts on the ranking system as a whole? Do you feel it is accurate? How would you change it if you could?
It's simple in golf, winning golf tournaments takes care of your ranking. In this case I would say the rankings are fairly accurate.
Many thanks to Ryan Moore for taking the time to look over and answer these questions amid his busy touring schedule.

These days you can't watch the news from space without someone asking, what good does this multimillion-dollar stuff do when the money is better spent on Earth. (As if we had sent the money to space aliens!) Actually, people have always been asking that, but the answers have changed. For geology—the science most closely tied to our material prosperity—the payoff from space research has grown and grown.
The early U.S. and Soviet space programs were a mixture of Cold-War nationalism and "right stuff" barnstorming. Only aviators were recruited, though no actual flying skill was required until the Space Shuttle Columbia's first re-entry on April 14, 1981. Only on the very last Moon mission did NASA send an actual geologist, Harrison Schmitt, there to examine the rocks in the field.
Nowadays, space money is being spent more usefully. Let's take a look at some of the ways that space research benefits Earth science, and vice versa.
Eyes on the Sun
Consider the Sun. Now that we have a fair grasp of Earth's 4.6-billion-year history, there are facts we need to nail down about the Sun. What has it done during that time span? How steadily does it shine? What do its activities do to Earth's climate and magnetism?
The Sun's gross structure and life story are well described from fundamental nuclear physics as well as the study of thousands of other similar stars. We figure the young Sun had to be somewhat dimmer than it is today, like a fluorescent bulb that's just turned on, but for the last couple billion years it's been pretty steady.
But as usual in science, answering a basic question leads to many more detailed ones. We need to know more about the inner structure of the Sun, and one promising way to do that is to use the same technique there we apply on Earth, namely seismology.
The Sun doesn't quake the way Earth does, having no rocks to rupture, but it does shake from its own energetic movements of gas and plasma, and once it shakes it oscillates—it rings—the way Earth does after large earthquakes. The steady eyes of satellite cameras are keeping track of the Sun's ringing, and the techniques of seismology are being applied by helioseismologists in an undertaking no one foresaw in the days of Sputnik.
Solar Flickers and Flutters
The same satellite observations are being combed for clues to a more immediate question: solar variability. The Sun changes its output slightly (about 0.1 percent) over the course of its sunspot cycle. That is known to affect the global climate. But how much does the Sun vary over geologic time scales? We know of a few recent flickers, for instance the Maunder minimum of the 17th century. This was a 70-year period when sunspots disappeared entirely and parts of the world endured unusually cold weather. Apparently the Sun grew dimmer by a fraction of a percent during that time.
It would be nice to know more about such events, like how to predict them, much the way we are beginning to forecast the annual Atlantic hurricane seasons or the more irregular El Niño climatic disruptions. But it would also be good knowledge for interpreting the geologic record. That is, since we can routinely measure subtle isotopic changes with great accuracy to study volcanic activity and ocean currents in the past, can we detect ancient solar flickering as well? Only with excellent data from space can we move forward with this intricate inquiry.
PS: The Sun is connected to activity even farther out in space. A vigorous Sun helps shield Earth from galactic cosmic rays, which in turn affects the production of things like carbon-14 (important for age dating of ancient materials). A quiet Sun increases our cosmic dosage. More on that in Part 2.

While vitamins get a lot of the credit for good health, minerals are just as critical. In fact, without minerals, vitamins cannot be metabolized and are rendered useless. Yet too many of us aren't getting minerals in a form our bodies can actually use. That's why Melaleuca

Message of Mrs. Shabnam Asif
Chairperson (Women Entrepreneur)
8th WEXNET held by Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP). It was a Mega Event at Lahore Expo Centre to promote women entrepreneurship.
WEXNET was launched in 2000 with the aim of providing women the opportunity to exhibit their products and services, network and gain a positive experience of the business environment.
TDAP has been supporting women since 1994 when it was known as Export Promotion Bureau (EPB). Back then, women were provided exposure in local and international markers via WEXNET exhibition.
This time it was held at Expo Centre Lahore, from 21st to 23rd March 2014, the exhibition consisted of more than 310 stalls organized by women of all regions of Pakistan. Moreover, a delegation from SAARC countries was also invited to display their products.
High amount of credit and appreciation goes to TDAP for holding such an organized event. It touched the standards of an international exhibition.
There were stalls of varied products; bags & accessories, art (including mosaic art), textiles, leather garments & products, leather shoes, handicrafts, carpets, gift items, herbal medicines, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, crockery, designer & hand made jewellery, furniture, cutlery, fruits & vegetables, food products, marble & granite, services.
The outcome of the exhibition was tremendous. Exhibitors kept showing up till the very last hour. Families, including children, were facilitated. The main purpose of the exhibition was to encourage the women to undertake small start-up businesses and that goal was achieved when their products received a good response by the exhibitors.
In addition, apart from an introduction into the business environment, women were also benefited via socializing. They were provided with a chance to interact with fellow exhibitors, learn more about the market and the upcoming trends, and thus, develop a network.
It wasn`t only a golden opportunity for the women with existing businesses, but also prompted the fresh graduates to take an initiative and stand up on their own feet.
The stalls were organized on the basis of the region and the response from smaller regions like Sialkot was overwhelming.
On 23rd March 2014 Award Ceremony was organized by TDAP for the Entrepreneurs. It is an honour for Sialkot Chamber of Commerce that on behalf of Women Entrepreneur I received an award. Similarly another Award was given to Rajax Industry for Shoes stall.
To sum up, I`d consider 8th WEXNET as a huge success and appreciate TDAP for taking this initiative and providing such a useful platform to the hard working women of Pakistan.

Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals series between the St. Louis Blues and the San Jose Sharks seems to be headed toward a hotly-contested third period. The Blues have the same 1-0 lead after the second period that they enjoyed after the first.
Both goalies have done well to keep the scoring that low. Brian Elliott and Antti Niemi each have 16 saves, but Niemi let a goal by in the first period, accounting for the difference on the scoreboard so far.
And with the teams so close on the scoreboard and in much of the box score, about the only thing separating them is San Jose's penchant for turnovers; the Sharks have nine giveaways through two periods to St. Louis' two.

Saturday is the big Edison Festival of Light Grande Parade in Fort Myers.
For weeks people have been staking out their spots along the parade route. That's because there will be a lot to see, including more than 200 floats.
On Friday, we caught up with one team who were putting on the finishing touches to their float.
"We decided to go with a boat this year," said float builder Billy Truax.
The boat was dreamt up nearly nine months ago. The idea turned into a skeleton.
"This year we decided to go bigger to get more kids on it. Cause it's fun to have kids on the float, that's what it's all about. Trying to get kids on the float," said Truax.
With a lot of work and little helpers, it became a Saints masterpiece.
"We're very pleased with it. Hopefully the judges will be pleased with it also," said Truax.
Those judges are flying in from out of state to compare floats – both small and large.
The float Truax is working on is about 33 feet long and weighs about 2,500 pounds. It took about 200 man hours to build.
And it's a process. Over 20 people have worked on the S.S. Saints float.
"I think we've got a good shot. You know, it's a lot of hard work. It's a lot of fun, but we've definitely captured the essence of Edisonia," said Megan Minor.
But it's more than just a contest. It's one of the longest traditions held in Fort Myers.
"A lot of the dads come in the morning. We'll have an afternoon of dads building. Then everyone will go home and they'll switch with their wives," said Truax.
You can catch the S.S. Saints float on Saturday when all the fun begins around noon.
Governor Rick Scott is going to be the grand marshal for the parade. It's the first time a governor will be the grand marshal.
The parade will start at Fort Myers High School and goes along US-41 to downtown Fort Myers. It ends at Main Street and Jackson Street.
More than a dozen streets will be closed, beginning Saturday morning. Click here for the list of road closures.

The Christmas season will kick into gear this weekend at all of the Mars Hill churches with the official start of our new sermon series, He Made Us Family: God's Work, Our Witness 2012.
For the next few weeks, I'll be preaching from the first chapters of the book of Matthew, which records the early years of Jesus' life and family. Matthew is the very first book of the New Testament, and it opens with the genealogy of Jesus, tracing his heritage back thousands of years.
In other words, the Bible introduces Jesus in the context of a human family—a family with an amazingly sinful and scandalous history.
God entered into human history through a family in order to make us his family: the church. To everyone "who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God" (John 1:12–13). Through Jesus, Christians live life together like brothers and sisters, and lead like fathers and mothers. We're a family, with God as our Father and Jesus as our Big Brother.
We'll be unpacking the implications of this incredible truth over the course of the series. Along the way, we'll talk a lot about what God is doing in the Mars Hill Church family. We'll reflect on his work in 2012, we'll fundraise for his work in 2013, and we'll share stories that bear witness to the fact that Jesus is alive, God cares about his family, and he wants us to be in loving relationship with him and with each other.
Here's a quick overview of the weeks to come:
Part 1: Jesus Welcomes You into His Family (Matt. 1:1–17)
We can learn a lot from what appears to be a boring list of names. Through Jesus' family line, God shows that we are all sinners and need to be born again by Jesus into a new family. The good news is that no matter how bad we are, there is room for us in Jesus' family.
Part 2: Jesus Is Still with Us (Matt. 1:18–25)
This section of Scripture tells the story of Jesus' birth. God was born into rough circumstances. His mother was wrongly considered a sexually sinful liar. His father was a poor young working-class laughingstock. God can work through any family, and he oftentimes shows up where we least expect him.
Part 3: Giving Your Gift to Jesus (Matt. 2:1–12)
The first worshipers of Jesus in the New Testament are pagan astrologers who are converted. They rightly bring generous gifts to Jesus: gold is for kings, frankincense was an important element for worship in Old Testament times, and myrrh is an embalming spice for the dead. Their gifts show that Jesus is our King, worthy of worship, come to die for our sin. Jesus is both a gift and worthy of our giving.
Part 4: Why Life Is Hard for Jesus and His People (Matt. 2:13–23)
Not everyone was glad to see the birth of Jesus. An evil family line that can be traced all the way back to Esau ruled in that day, led by a man called Herod. Herod was so demonically opposed to Jesus that he took the lives of countless boys in an effort to murder Jesus. To this day, walking with Jesus as a part of his family means inconvenience, expense, opposition, and at times even death. We'll talk about some of the tough times we've endured by God's grace, and pray for the year ahead.
In addition, we'll have a few special sermons over the next few weeks:
- December 23: This Sunday will be a huge Christmas party, with a family-style service, shorter sermon, lots of music, baptisms, baby dedications, and tons of holiday fun. **Please note: as the entire sermon series from Thanksgiving through the end of the year is a Christmas series with holiday décor, songs, and sermons, December 23 will be our big Christmas Celebration. And since we want to give our staff time off to be with their families, with the exception of the Downtown Seattle church's Christmas Eve service (below), none of our churches will be holding Christmas Eve or Christmas Day services.
- December 24: For those in Seattle, we'll have one big Christmas Eve service at our new building downtown, one of the city's oldest church buildings. All are welcome. Show up early if you want as seat, since this will be packed out.
- December 30: Our lead pastors and other Mars Hill elders will preach from Jeremiah 29:4–9 and share the local vision for 2013 with the sixth and final sermon in the He Made Us Family series, "Jesus Has a Plan for Our Family."
This is a great month to invite your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers to join our family. Throughout December, we'll also be sharing a lot of Christmas-related ideas, resources, and updates online, so I encourage you to keep tabs on our websites.
Thanks for listening,
Thanks for giving,
Thanks for serving,
And thanks for being part of the family.

Teammates and friends of St. Xavier's Matt James gathered on the 50-yard line of the school football field Saturday. / The Enquirer/Jeff Swinger

On the football field where Matt James became an All-American, his St. Xavier teammates gathered to remember James on Saturday.
James died Friday night in a fall from a hotel balcony in Panama City Beach, Fla., where James and friends were on spring break. Back home at St. Xaviers campus in Springfield Township, a memorial prayer service drew more than 200 people Saturday morning.
Police: James was drinking, belligerent

After the service, several St. Xavier football players wearing shirts and ties walked out to the football stadium. The players sat on the blue X logo at midfield, where some talked quietly, others held their heads in their hands, and others stared skyward. Other players left the memorial service and headed straight to their cars, where they hugged parents and each other.
On the field he was mean, but off the field he was the nicest guy you ever met, said Max Danenhauer, a St. Xavier junior who played offensive line with James. He was a great guy, great leader. When I heard about (James death), I didnt believe it at first.
Comment on memorial Facebook page
Brandyn Cook, a St. Xavier sophomore center and also a varsity player alongside James, said James did not flaunt his status as a highly publicized player. James, a St. Xavier senior, signed with Notre Dame in February after being one of the countrys most highly-sought recruits.
He worked so hard that people say he slept here, Cook said. He always stayed so late, trying to get better. He was such a selfless guy. We all looked up to him.
James, listed on the St. Xavier roster as 6 feet 7 and 290 pounds, was named a USA Today All-American and also U.S. Army All-American this past season.
James also played for the St. Xavier basketball team. James averaged 1.3 points per game in limited action, but also dedicated himself to becoming a better basketball player.
He was the hardest worker, and just a great teammate, St. Xavier basketball coach Scott Martin said, shortly after leaving the prayer service. He loved basketball, and he played with a great passion every day.
Martin also taught James in an Introduction To Calculus class.
He was a giant teddy bear, Martin said. Its just a terrible misfortune.
"The Notre Dame football program is in a state of disbelief and incredible sadness with the news of this tragic event," Notre Dame head football coach Brian Kelly said in the university's official statement about James' death. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Matt James in this most trying of times."
Kelly, the former University of Cincinnati head football coach, said he knew Matt James well and admired the young man.
"On a personal level, I got to know Matt quite well over the past few years and he was a wonderful young man from a great family. Matt was an extremely talented person who was very bright and possessed a great dry sense of humor. He could not wait to join the Notre Dame family," Kelly said in the statement.
St. Xavier football coach Steve Specht flew to Florida late Friday with James' parents, Jerry and Peggy James.
"It was for moral support, and obviously our prayers are with the family," said Specht, who flew back to Cincinnati on Saturday afternoon. "It's been pretty remarkable to see the community rally around the James family, and to support the guys who were down there. It's tough on everyone."
Specht received numerous calls and text messages the past two days, so much that his voice mailbox quickly filled. Along with the St. X community, condolences have poured in from other schools' coaches, players and fans.
"There's an incredible emptiness. There's an incredible sadness," Specht said.
Of James' football stature, Specht said:
"Matt didn't like the attention. He was about the team. He was about everybody but Matt. He worked hard, and he practiced as hard as he played in games because he wanted to get better."
James started gaining college recruiters' attention early in his St. Xavier career. James helped St. Xavier win the Ohio Division I championship as a sophomore in the fall of 2007.
"Just watching him grow from a timid soul his freshman year into a leader, the worker he became, you want to bottle that," Specht said.
Specht said that funeral arrangements are pending.
St. Xavier athletic director John Sullivan, who is out of town visiting family, said via telephone:
"Our heart goes out to Matt's family. He was the epitome of a St. X student. He was a leader, he was a good student, he was humble. He was just a great all-around kid."
St. Xavier started spring break Friday and many school administrators are elsewhere, Motz said, including school president Fr. Timothy Howe and principal David Mueller.
Other local coaches also reacted with shock and sadness.
La Salle football coach Tom Grippa, whose school competes with St. Xavier in the Greater Catholic League South, said he learned the news early Friday night from a sons friend. The friend also is a St. Xavier football player on the Florida trip, Grippa said.
Its just a tragedy for Matt and his family, Grippa said, via telephone. I know the La Salle community is praying for the family.
Moeller football coach John Rodenberg, via text message, said:
Matt was a great competitor. I have a lot of respect for their program. Were saddened, as a fellow team from their league.
Kerry Coombs, a University of Cincinnati assistant coach who was his schools primary recruiter of James, said as a father of three he can only imagine what James' parents are going through. UC was among the many colleges James considered for football.
You get to know a kid and his family, sit down at their table with them it just doesnt get any worse than this, to see a young life lost, Coombs said in a telephone interview. Matt was more than a great player. He was a challenging conversationalist. He would talk about things unrelated to football. Even when he made the decision to pick Notre Dame, he called me straight up and was a man about it. And that's not easy.
Coombs said he spoke with his former UC boss, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly, via telephone after hearing the news Friday night. Kelly also is devastated, Coombs said.
James, from Our Lady of Visitation parish on the West Side of Cincinnati, comes from a football family that has included several relatives playing the game.
He was going to play at the highest level," Coombs said. "He was going to make people around him better, too. Its just unbelievably sad.
Butch Jones, head football coach at the University of Cincinnati, said of James, "I called him when he made his decision to go to Notre Dame. I told him how much I believed in him, what a great person he was. Its a great family."
"My condolences to his family. Our prayers are with them. Our thoughts are with them. We wish them nothing but the best. Its a very tragic incident and our hearts go out to them."

Hardcore Real Madrid and Oasis fan, emblematic Tweeter @Van_Palomaain passed away in the train accident outside Santiago de Compostela. He was known and loved by many madridistas, most of them are sporting a Live Forever Union Jack as their avatars right now.
I didn't know him in person, but why would that even matter? I knew his favorite song, his favorite Real Madrid player and I even knew that he liked to order Chinese food for supper every Sunday. So I probably knew him better than I know some people around my circle.
Álvaro Arbeloa, showing that there are bigger and more important things than a dribble or a goal scored, joined the community and showed his support on Twitter:
Y desde aquí, mi recuerdo a @van_Palomaain. Siempre estarás con nosotros. Un abrazo enorme a los allegados d Juanan. Descansa en paz, amigo.— Álvaro Arbeloa (@aarbeloa17) July 25, 2013
Juan Antonio Palomino will always be missed. And when Real Madrid raise La Décima and Noel and Liam Gallagher forget their disputes to play another live concert, he will be with us.
Rest In Peace, my friend.

News: Oklahoma City Thunder Star Calls Out King James, "LeBron Can't Play [Durant] One-On-One"
Tuesday, Jun 19, 2012 12:05PM
Oklahoma City Thunder star Serge Ibaka has publicly gone after Miami Heat's LeBron James, calling out the three-time most valuable player's defense.
When asked about King James, Ibaka wasted no time in downplaying his skills.
LeBron is not a good defender," Ibaka said about the player who received the most votes for the league's all-defensive team, which is selected by the coaches. "He can play defense for two to three minutes but not 48 minutes." James was switched onto Kevin Durant after Game 1 when Durant scored 36 points and shot 12-of-20 with Shane Battier primarily covering him. Since, Durant is averaging 28.5 points on 23-of-41 shooting and Heat have won two games, taking a 2-1 series lead into Tuesday's Game 4. "LeBron can't play (Durant) one-on-one," Ibaka said. "They're playing good defense like a team." (Palm Beach Post)
While Ibaka's remarks may raise questions, it is LBJ's 30-plus points per game average which has helped secure a 2-1 series lead for the Heat.
A year after being shredded for not rising to the moment on the league's biggest stage - and vowing that he would change that perception this time around - James has helped carry the Heat back to the spot where it all went wrong in 2011. They're halfway home in these finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and will take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series into Game 4 in Miami on Tuesday night. So far in the series, James is averaging 30.3 points and 10.3 rebounds. A year ago against Dallas, he averaged 17.8 points and 7.2 rebounds when Miami lost the title round in six games. (Orange County Register)
The NBA Finals has caught the attention of hip-hop stars like Game who is rooting for the Thunder.
"I gotta go for the Thunder because you know my n*gga James Harden, Russell Westbrook, them LA n*ggas, young boys. I gotta ride with the Thunder, man," Game said in an interview. "I can't f*ck with Chris Bosh anyway. I don't like that n*gga. Nobody like's this n*gga's face, man. It ain't even nothing against D-Wade and Bron-Bron, I don't like Bosh's face. I can't have that n*gga get an NBA championship holding a trophy with that face." ("G-Unit Radio")
Cleveland's Machine Gun Kelly recently displayed support for the Thunder.
LeBron James and the Miami Heat will tip-off against the Oklahoma City Thunder to begin the NBA Finals Tuesday night (June 12). One rapper who definitely does not want to see King James and the Heat capture the NBA title is Machine Gun Kelly. After spitting the line, "Never mind that's just Kells with that Heat, no LeBron though," on his hit, "Wild Boy," the Cleveland MC echoed that sentiment on a recent radio station stop "Oh no, he's not taking it," MGK s said in reference to LeBron on Power 107.5. "If he doesn't do it this year, then he won't do it again." (XXL Mag)

I didn't see many people talking about the new blue alternates in the Laker game recap, but maybe I didn't read that closely.
What do people think?
I've been waiting 2 years for them to come back, I think they look fan-freaking-tastic. It was my hope blue would be the permanent road uni color after the 2010 redesign, but they stuck with red.
I wish they would switch that around. They look awesome as all get out.
