ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC)- It's about this time when area golfers squeeze in as much time on the green as possible, but for one area club this year will be the last time golf is played on the course.
Meadow Lakes opened in 1997 and used to be a vibrant spot for golfers to really push themselves and spend a great afternoon together, but now that experience is coming to an end.
From those who have just arrived to those who have been there since the beginning, there is a story. For those that have played at Meadow Lakes Golf Club, soon those stories will be all that remain.
This will be the last year that the course is open. Members were just informed of the decision to sell, and the choice is a hard one to swallow.
"We've got a brotherhood out here, a group of about 40 guys that get together, and we're going to miss the course," says James Rush, a member of the club since opening day. "I actually worked out here for three to four years and help mow. It's going to be sad to see it go."
It is a site that has seen better days with patchy greens and tree branches littering the cart trails.
Even with those issues, first time players still are impressed.
"You've got potential here for a really good course," explains David Barrone, a long-time golfer spending his first day at Meadow Lakes. "A nice lay-out and the greens could be very, very tough. So, it's sad they can't make money and it's sad another course has to close, but that's the way the game of golf is going."
Some area businesses are interested in buying the clubhouse, but once the season is over, the era of golf at Meadow Lakes will be over as well.
Golf courses around the country are going through hard times. According to the National Golf Foundation, 157 courses closed while only 19 opened nationwide in 2011.

Chromebook Review by a Dad Moonlighting as a Sci-Fi Novelist
I am a busy person. I don't mean ER doctor busy. Being a father of three and the bread winner, my life is dominated by two major categories. A pie graph of my average day would show two huge sections and an impossibly thin slice. On the left is 'work' and the right is 'family'. That chip in the graph is 'other'. I'd rather not detail my 'other' time in a Verge post. The point is that it's mine and it's precious.
I want devices that cut to the chase. I want to get straight to writing without being interrupted with Java updates and virus scans. I want to mainline as many Digg/Verge posts as is humanly possible in the half hour I have before the kids wake up (and read over my shoulder. Goddamnit!). I need to get my Facebook fix in as short a time as is possible. This is why I made the switch to Chromebook, and this is why I don't regret it.
About a month ago, I was in search of a portable device that had a great keyboard and trackpad (a touchscreen was icing on the cake). The great news was that I found it on my first trip to Best Buy. The Macbook Air was perfect. It had an excellent keyboard and an insane trackpad. There was one minor, tiny-winnie problem. I couldn't drop the required $1K.
Actually, I did have a $1K hanging around my bank account; otherwise, I would not have tortured myself by wandering over to the pristine Apple table. The real issue was that my kids needed food, clothes, and a roof over their heads.
So, I spent the money on the rugrats. What can I say? My love for my children is stronger than my desire to become a Mac owner (don't roll your eyes!). Thankfully, I did have a quarter of my bonus leftover. What to do? Where to turn? The agony!
My choices were, to put it simply, limited. There was the Nexus 7 and the Samsung Chromebook.
It's frustrating that Chromebooks are not readily available at Best Buy to touch and fondle. I read The Verge review by Chris Ziegler as well as a handful of other (lesser known) sites. They were all positive. I felt strange purchasing an electronic device without molesting it like a shar pei at a Westminster Dog Show. I took the plunge and bought a Chromebook straight from Mountain View. I guess I trust Google to not disappoint (shudder)?
To my delight, the Chromebook was exactly as advertised. It boots up in seconds and wakes instantly. It has no moving parts, so it is whisper quiet and generates practically no heat. It is the perfect device for composing posts while sitting cross legged on the floor with your two-year old as she plays Calico Critters. The Samsung Chromebook is made entirely out of plastic, but it feels good to hold (as a bonus it even looks like a Macbook Air). The keyboard and trackpad are not the best, but they are comfortable to use. If you're a Google power user (as I am), the Chromebook syncs effortlessly with everything (and you get a free 2-year upgrade to 100 Gb of Drive space).
The Chromebook is not for everybody. It's not for gamers or photographers or video editors or audiophiles. It's for Google power users. It's for Facebook addicts. It's for elderly people that compose emails in the subject line. It's for busy fathers that moonlight as sci-fi novelists. Please read the reviews before you purchase one. There are many glaring limitations, but, at $250, it's not a crazy investment. Also, it's $250, so I'm not completely terrified when my five-year-old accidentally uses it as a coaster.
P.S. I am an obsessive Spotify user. I was truly bummed when I learned that there were no Spotify apps in the web store. I did find a workaround. This applies to premium account holders that also have Facebook accounts.

Obviously this hatred started with Rex Ryan and his big mouth, which I personally love. Another reason for the hate is all of our Wins. Now i have absolutely no problem with people hating on us, if its for the right reason. People are just starting to get ridiculous with all of this "luck" crap. The Jets are 7-2 and all I keep hearing is that they are lucky and should be about 4-5. I want to break down some games and see if its luck or MAYBE WE HAVE A DECENT TEAM THAT KNOWS HOW TO WIN GAMES. You tell me a team other than the Jets that is 5-0 on the road with back to back wins in OT. Yea, that's what i thought, nobody.
Week 6 @ Denver - Maybe you'll say its luck, and I'll say that it is a part of the game, but the pass interfernce call is a part of the game. Santonio was clearly interfered with and had his facemask grasped as well by the defender. It was a blatant foul and one that has to be made. That is not luck. It is actually a smart play by Mark Sanchez, seeing one on one and giving his guy a shot to come down with it, or draw the flag. And he got the flag. You tell me how thats luck.
Week 9 @ Detroit - I guess it's called luck whenver you beat the Lions? Everyone has been saying that the Lions are actually a very talented team. They are much better than their record indicates. They also didnt have Stafford for much of this year, which is part of the reason their record is bad, and unfortunately for the Jets, he played. He is obviously a great QB with enormous talent. I guess Sanchez gets no credit for making leading the Jets down the field 3 times when down 20-10 with just under 5 minutes left. Yes, 3 DRIVES THAT TOOK US DOWN THE FIELD THAT WON THE GAME, IS THAT LUCK TOO?
Week 10 @ Browns - A hard nosed team that plays very physical? Yea thats the Browns. The team that crushed the Saints 30-17 and then the Patriots 34-14? Yea it was the Browns. And then they lose to the Jets. Sanzhez played yet another great game and he gets "lucky" again. Our D played OK and let up a tying TD at the end, but guess who cuts up the Browns D, Santiono Holmes. Don't say that a slant pattern for a TD is luck. I've seen it happen millions of times. JUST BECUASE YOU SCORE A LONG TD, DOES NOT MEAN IT'S LUCK!!

Monsanto's Genetics Monopoly ChallengedFebruary 8th, 2012 | Posted by in Eco-Friendly | Organic Events
New findings in plants and food crops genetics have opened new avenues in producing crops with improved quality and lower costs per benefit unit. But big genetics industry players like Monsanto are squeezing out smaller farms trying to make a livelihood for themselves and their families. A Maine farmer is now heading a group to strongly challenge the monopoly of Monsanto in producing genetic food crops.

For those of you who don't know, 1250 ESPN radio has a bit each Wednesday where they ask fans to call in or email the Stan and Guy show and vote on what sports personality they think was the biggest jerk or "bleep bleep" that particular week. It was formerly called the "Jagoff of the week" but I guess that was too harsh for radio.
Anyway, this week, a Steelers legend, Terry Bradshaw himself, was named the "Bleep bleep of the week" for his comments regarding Ben Roethlisberger during his pre-game commentary on FOX this past Sunday. I didn't see it live, but I've heard it replayed on the radio all week. In an attempt to mentor and give advice to the young quarterbacks of the league, Bradshaw used Jamarkus Russell as an example of how fast and hard a young quarterback could fall if he wasn't serious about winning and didn't do the things necessary to achieve success.
And then he addressed Roethlisberger. I'm not going to quote him exactly, but he really let Big Ben have it. He reiterated his earlier stance that he didn't agree with Roger Goodell shortening Ben's suspension from 6 games to 4. And he went on to say that if he was the owner of the Steelers, he would have cut ties with Roethlisberger for his actions last March in Georgia.
He said that Roethlisberger acted recklessly (true) and mistreated women (from all the stories I've heard, probably true.) But Bradshaw wasn't there and he doesn't know any more about the events in March than anyone else so for him to be so harsh six months after the fact is just bizarre. I know Terry and Ben haven't seen eye-to-eye recently, but this smacked of piling on by Bradshaw. I've heard it said that Bradshaw was probably told by his bosses to say something to really stir things up, but it just seemed really unnecessary considering Ben's recent attempt to repair his public image.
The timing was a bit out of place and the public backlash that Bradshaw has received is a testament to that. Back in April, when Bradshaw made his famous quotes about Ben, people were on his side because Roethlisberger was probably the most hated person in town. But Bradshaw being voted "Bleep bleep of the week" for his latest comments about Ben just goes to show you how willing the public is to forgive a person's transgressions, especially if that person demonstrates a willingness to change.
I guess the whole Terry/Ben feud started years ago when Bradshaw tried to encourage Roethlisberger to put his motorcycle away after the accident. Ben didn't like it and disrespected Bradshaw in some way. I don't know exactly what Roethlisberger said, but Terry obviously didn't take too kindly to it.
At the end of the day, it's just sad that the two greatest quarterbacks in franchise history have such a bitter and public feud.
Just curious, do Staubach and Aikman have this kind of animosity towards eachother? What about Favre and Bart Starr?

On Saturday, the United States secured its first gold medal in the men's slopestyle snowboarding. Sage Kotsenburg dominated the field and won the event.
The women's slopestyle event will take place on Sunday, and the Americans are favored to win in that as well. Jamie Anderson will be the star for the United States after her impressive run in the qualifying round. She's not going to coast to the podium, however. Austria's Anna Gasser, who was the only other rider to break 90 in the qualifying round, should provide quite the challenge to the United States' snowboarding throne.
Ty Walker is also worth keeping an eye on for the United States' team. She's only 16 and is dealing with some injuries that limited her during the qualifying round. She could be the future of women's snowboarding for the United States.
Here's the schedule of events for Sunday. By the end of the day, there will be three new medalists.
Feb. 9 - Ladies' Slopestyle - Semifinal, 1:30 a.m. ET
Feb. 9 - Ladies' Slopestyle - Final, 4:15 a.m. ET

When the curtain finally falls on the political Kabuki Theater that has been the Democratic and Republican debate over raising the debt ceiling one thing will be certain. Nothing will have been done to substantially reduce the nation's debt. It's not because our lawmakers don't know how dangerous the deficit is….they know. But they also know something else…that Americans, rich and poor alike have gotten hooked on free money. And they also know that handing out that free money is what gets them re-elected. By free money we are talking not just about bloated entitlement programs, but also the vast number of tax subsidies and other loopholes that waste money on worthless programs like ethanol production. And yes….subsidies for corporate jets and oil companies. Almost two thousand separate subsidy programs. And the Tax code includes free money for individuals. In fact a large segment of the population doesn't pay any income taxes at all. If that's not free money I don't know what is. An agreement will be reached to raise the debt ceiling and some cuts will be made but nothing too painful---it's not easy saying no to free money. As always, we'd like to hear what you think.

I dined at the restaurant on Tuesday; I was very impressed that I could book online, especially as I only booked on the Monday when the restaurant was closed. I also received a telephone call in the morning to confirm my reservation. Other restaurants in Edinburgh take note.
The atmosphere was relaxed but elegant, a good value lunch options was available but my guest and I selected the A la Carte. For starter my guest had the Kilbrannan Scallops and Bellota Ham, which looked delightful and I choose the Scallop Risotto Special, which was superb. For main course I selected Loin of Borders Roe Deer, which melted in the mouth and my guest choose Braised Beef Cheek, Pumpkin Seed Brittle, which I am told was excellent. I admitted to knowing very little about wine but our Sommelier was very helpful and selected some beautiful wines for us and didn't make me feel in the least intimidated. Desert was equally as good. I couldn't fault this restaurant. To say it was a Tuesday lunch time the restaurant had a good atmosphere, with guest taking advantage of either the tasting menu, or reasonably priced lunch menu in equal measure.
I look forward to returning when next in Edinburgh.

Mobile is becoming the new normal - but having the technology is just the first step; developing strategies for effectively marketing and communicating in a mobile world is a much bigger step.
Sooo…how's that mobile strategy goin'?
If that question makes you want to quickly change the subject or hide your head in shame, you can at least be comforted by the fact that you're not alone. According to a new study by The CMO Council (form to download free executive summary), "only 16 percent of marketers currently have a comprehensive mobile relationship marketing strategy or plan, and when asked where and how mobile fits into the overall marketing mix, only 18 percent of marketers indicate they will be embracing a comprehensive mobile relationship marketing strategy."
At this point it should be pretty clear to anyone who hasn't been working from under a rock for the past few years that ignoring mobile isn't a viable option. Today, mobile broadband subscriptions outnumber fixed broadband by two to one, according to the International Telecommunication Union. Mobile web browsing now makes up an average of 10 percent of global web traffic, though that number's almost 18 percent in Asia. There are currently over 1 billion smartphone users around the world and Microsoft Tag predicts that mobile web usage will overtake desktop usage by 2014…a prediction bolstered by other analyst forecasts that tablets will outsell laptops by 2016. Nervous yet? Here are some more stats that should keep you up at night.
So why are we marketers so behind on mobile? The CMO Council found that a lack of mobile-savvy resources and talent were holding back most of the marketers who felt that they were behind the mobile marketing curve. I'd be surprised if most of you weren't in the same boat. Besides, budgets only stretch so far and adding one more channel (especially now that everyone's supposed to be doing the "social" thing) often isn't an option.
But maybe it doesn't have to be.
Ever since mobile devices capable of accessing the web hit the market back in the late '90s, maintaining a mobile presence online has been a major pain in the butt (and the budget). Anyone who wanted to have a serious mobile presence had to deal with a nearly incomprehensible array of phones, technologies, and browser types. Putting up a mobile site meant dealing with some seriously complicated technologies at best, and once you added in the difficulties with maintaining content across your "regular" site and your mobile site(s), it seemed that unless it was absolutely necessary to your business, the mobile web got shoved off your to-do list as new stuff (like social media) came along.
Up until a few years ago this wasn't an unreasonable strategy. After all, even though a large proportion of cellphone users had access to the mobile web in one form or another, it wasn't something they did all that often. Then along came the smartphone (the iPhone in particular) and things changed. Big time.
One of the big innovations of the iPhone was the inclusion of a web browser that actually worked like a regular desktop web browser. Sure, the screen was small, but even the earliest versions of iOS Safari did a pretty remarkable job of rendering web content. It would be tempting to think that as iPhone adoption grew at an incredible rate (10 times faster than AOL was adopted in the previous decade, according to Nielsen) it would have prompted more of us to focus on mobile. But it didn't. The fact that consumers could now access your website in a somewhat "normal" way in Safari (and later on their Android phones) meant that we could just keep putting off mobile a little longer.
The unfortunate fact, however, is that the mobile web and the "desktop" web aren't the same thing. At the most basic level of "usability," there's a mountain of evidence now that people use the mobile web differently than they do on their desktops. The rise of tablets has complicated the issue even more with varying screen sizes and usage scenarios. What's a marketer to do?
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest a radical new strategy: think mobile first.
This might sound nuts, but if you bear with me for a few bullet points it may start to make more sense.
If you look at the trend vectors and the moves going on in the technology world, it seems pretty clear that mobile is rapidly becoming the new normal. But having the technology is just the first step; developing strategies for effectively marketing and communicating in a mobile world is a much bigger step. Tune in next column for some suggestions about developing effective strategies for mobile…and beyond.

The event, hosted by Greene King IPA – the Official Beer of London Wasps – offered fans without tickets the chance to savour the game in a matchday-style atmosphere, with some complimentary pints of Greene King IPA.
Ahead of kick-off, fans were treated to a Q&A session with Dan and John, getting thoughts and insight direct from inside the camp. During half-time Greene King also gave away Wasps balls and shirts, signed by the entire team.
Dan said "Despite the result, we've had a fantastic day. It's been great to meet some of our loyal fans and experience the highs and lows of watching us week in, week out. Our thanks go to Greene King for this unique opportunity and we hope the fans enjoyed it as much as we did."

This is the trade to make if we're blowing it all up. Word is that all of these guys are "available" (if that means anything).
Here's the trade:
Blazers get: Omer Asik, Mirza Teletovic, Reggie Evans
Bobcats get: Paul Pierce, J. Freeland
Rockets get: Deron Williams, Tornike Shengelia
Nets get: Ben Gordon, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Jeremy Lin, Meyers Leonard, Thomas Robinson, CJ McCollum
For all of you who are about to say that the Blazers don't need the players they're getting: Robin is playing very well, yes, but Asik is a far better rim protector and rebounder, and since Portland's defensive scheme relies heavily on a perimeter blockade and leaving it's big men inside alone. Asik would be a big upgrade for them. For him, I feel like they'd be willing to give up two bigs that would be rendered even less useful and a young bench scorer (who's minutes may be blocked by Mo Williams anyway). Plus they get a PF who can score the ball off the bench in Mirza.
The Bobcats are looking to get better immediately, and having Pierce gives them stronger leadership and experience in the playoff series it seems they'll inevitably be in. Giving up Kidd-Gilchrist hurts a bit, but Pierce would be worth it for them, if only for his offense (he really is warming up lately).

New Car Seat Recommendations
I thought many of you may be interested in the new guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics regarding car seats:
- Children should ride rear-facing to age 2, or until they reach the maximum height and weight for their seat.
- Children should use a booster seat until they have reached 4 feet 9 inches tall and are between 8 and 12 years old.
- Children should ride in the rear of a vehicle until they are 13 years old.
We kept Will in his rear facing seat until he simply looked ridiculous, but he still had not even come close to the max weight of the seat. He is tall and skinny so his legs were way too long for the seat. Since I am notoriously overly cautious, I do agree with under 13 being in the backseat. The only issue I see with the new guidelines is with the booster seat for up to 12 years old. I am all about safety, but I have a feeling parents will have a very difficult time convincing their soon to be teenagers to sit in a booster.
What are your thoughts?

One Response to "New Car Seat Recommendations"
Thanks for sharing this Sharon. Rear-facing until 2? No way! Ella would never fit that way with her long legs either. I'm with ya on the booster seat approaching 12, crazy! I guess that's something to get used to just like a seat belt but maybe we need to not call it a "booster seat" and call it a "jump seat" instead

Happy vernal equinox! (Don't worry–it happened about an hour ago…we checked.) The center of the sun has officially crossed the equator and is headed north…and we're heating up with five of the hottest green stories on the Interwebs this morning:
- At Least It's Not About Eating Children…Or Is It? A new Jonathan Swift (or a wag writing under that pen name) has written a satiric "Modest Proposal" on global warming. (Hat tip: Environmental Capital.)
- Please RT: Red Green and Blue offers 10 Twitter users who excel at reporting on eco-politics. (Of course, while you're at it, follow The Nature Conservancy at @nature_org, too!)
- How Low Can They Go? Fish in the Caribbean have declined in numbers an average of 5 percent annually since 1995 because of coral loss, says a new study in Current Biology. (Hat tip: 60-Second Science.)
- Hot Head: A new volcano has erupted in the South Pacific near Tonga — throwing up large amounts of pumice. (We hate when that happens.) (Hat tip: The Vine.)
- But Alas, No Voice-Over By Ben Stiller: The BBC's Richard Black says Madagascar has becoming an "important proving ground for a number of forward-looking concepts in conservation and sustainable development" — but that some fear the country's political turmoil will threaten that progress.

Is it just me or am I seeing our current players more and more oriented towards the team and the goal of winning games and in turn championships? Call me an optimist, call me a blind homer, call me a romantic, but it seems like the players that were around last year to witness first hand the reversal of fortunes of this proud franchise can smell what Shanny and Haz and RGIII are cookin'.
Players gladly accepting reductions in pay? Players talking about sacrifice and esprit de corps and what it takes to dominate?
Smells like perennial division contenders. Smells like deep playoff runs.
Ladies and gentlemen, SanteeSkins smells a World Champion Washington Redskins Team (capitalization intended).
Maybe not this year. But sooner rather than later.
Hail to 'em!

On a radio interview for his website, BJ Penn commented on a number of things today, including the news that Florian would be training at the Tristar gym for their upcoming fight. Upon hearing the news, BJ made a big accusation:
"Oh, that's funny, he's going to tristar? He's the who who tipped us off that GSP was going to be greasing...He actually emailed me and tipped me off."
This is a big charge considering the fact that the two men shared strategy before the fight and after, and especially considering the fact that the two will be training together. Bloody Elbow contacted Kenny Florian for a response, and he issued a flat denial:
"I don't even know BJ's email. How or why would I send that information?"
This looks like just another mind game from BJ Penn.
Update: Sherdog has more on this, including the longer quote:
"That is kind of surprising to me because Kenny is actually the guy who tipped us off that GSP was going to be greasing," said Penn. "He actually e-mailed me and tipped me off."
"I've never emailed a fighter about anything like that. I don't even have B.J. Penn's email," a puzzled Florian told Sherdog.com on Tuesday. "I'd love to see that email. I would say print that email and show it to everybody. Where's this mystery email?"
Florian, 32, also dispelled any possibility that the two had exchanged the alleged information by other means.
"I haven't spoken to B.J. -- besides 'hello' -- since January of 2007," he said. "I've never trained with [St. Pierre] in the past. I have no motive in saying that. Even if I knew, would I say that? I know of other fighters who have [greased] and I don't say anything to anybody."

I click on the part and right click, component and then replace and an other panel will be placed.
It has the same imates and it works fine the way i want.
But when i click the panel, do right click i can't select Edit.
We have panels where we will change a placed hole afterwards.
I can open the panel and change but then all the replaced panels will change and that is not what i want.
I is an ilogic panel where i can change parameters
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Jos,
Regarding to the issue of Edit command gray out, the part has been already opened. So that, the Edit command on the part is grayed out.
For your desired result, I recommend that you create the iPart of the model. Or publish the model as factory library asset. Then the other replaced instances will not be changed.
Please let me know if there is any further help.
I'm sorry,but youre wright.
The part was already open.
I tried this morning again and it's working.
I don't know what went wrong yesterday.

Located in Lebanon north of Acre but south of Sidon and Beirut, Tyre was one of the most important of the ancient Phoenician cities. Today Tyre contains excavations of ruins dating to Crusader, Byzantine, Arab, Greco-Roman, and earlier eras. Tyre is also referenced quite a few times in the Bible, sometimes as an ally of the Israelites and sometimes in the context of condemning the religious or cultural influences which the Phoenicians were exercising over the Israelites.
Tyre's primary claim to fame, not to mention wealth, was a sea snail which allowed them to produce highly-coveted purple dye. This color was rare and difficult to produce, a factor in its adoption by rulers as a color of royalty. As late as the reign of Roman emperor Diocletian (284-305 CE), two pounds of purple dye sold for over six pounds of gold. Other Phoenician cities also traded in the prized dye, but Tyre was the center of its production and the city with which the product was most closely associated.

All 12 teams are now just a couple days from the Olympic Break and won't be playing again until mid August to allow for Olympians to play for their countries. Most WNBA teams will have at least one player in London, but the players who aren't in the Olympics still can use the time off to recuperate from injuries and refocus, and teams can retool for either a possible playoff run, or perhaps solidify their futures.
Here are three things the Mystics must consider doing during the break.
1. Have the front office say something to the fans in an email and have an open public event regarding this team right now and for the future.
I'm burned out, fans are burned out, and if anyone at Monumental Sports followed the Mystics besides basketball staff, then they have to be burned out too from this horrible stretch of games since the 2011 season. The lack of transparency from ownership is unacceptable.
As of now, I'm on record saying that the organization is on the clock if they still want me to pay up to watch their teams (yes note that I used the word TEAMS). Other Mystics fans who do not want to write their angry thoughts are also ready to pull out. If this means that the Mystics are gone from DC one way or another, yeah, it sucks, but I hope that the "experts at ESPN" don't say that it's because "fans quit on the team."
Monumental Sports really needs to have a truly open forum to allow fans to voice their opinions, one way or another, and until then, it's clear that the organization is putting on the face that "Mystics fans should just be happy a team is even here." This is the most important thing they need to do during the break. Sure a lot of fans will be very angry at them and some may just cuss out the staff, but at least have something for the fans to voice their thoughts.
2. Terminate Trudi Lacey's employment as head coach and GM, and allow an interim head coach to evaluate the team's talent going forward.
This is #2 because #1 is more urgent. #2 is obvious from a basketball standpoint. I already said why over a month ago.
WNBAlien does make a point that it "wouldn't be a surprise" if Lacey remains the GM and head coach because Sheila Johnson and Ted Leonsis may believe that it's better to hope for more lotto balls in order to land a Big Three pick. In addition it is also possible that Lacey may "fire herself" as head coach and promote either Jennifer "Grand Ma Ma" Gillom or Marianne Stanley to be interim head coach. In her last stint in Charlotte, Lacey took herself out as head coach and put in Muggsy Bogues to replace her so he could help put in more butts in seats, but the team soon folded anyway, which further fuels the fire as to why many Mystics fans think that Monumental Sports wants to fold the team so it can just focus on Wizards basketball and Capitals hockey but I believe that is circumstantial. I do not feel that Lacey should relinquish only one position and stay in the other position, under any circumstances. That would be a total joke, and be the basketball version of putting in Sherman "Bingo man" Lewis to run the playbook for Jim Zorn, when he was the head coach of the Redskins.
Let's put it this way: The players' morale is noticeably down. The GM traded younger assets for older players who aren't doing much in most cases. The Head Coach (also the GM) is making changes to the rotations every week and none of them work. Fans are getting sick and tired of being sick and tired of the team's performance. And meanwhile Monumental Sports is more excited about Caps Development Camp, Wizards in the NBA Summer League, and the USA Basketball doubleheader and forgot that the Mystics are embarrassing themselves due to their mismanagement. Either way, keeping Lacey in for the 2nd half of the season can only make things worse for the Mystics in more ways than just losing games. Even if Lacey is kept for the 2nd half of the season, is there no possible way that they could keep her for a third year? Or could it be?
If ownership does the right thing and set up that termination meeting this weekend or next Monday (the sooner the better even if the Team USA thing is going on at the same time), a new coach isn't going to lead the Mystics to the playoffs this year, and they will be last in the East, pretty much no matter what happens. But an interim coach and a public forum with the fans can at least send a message that Monumental Sports knows what's going on, and that something has been done about it.
3. Consider any and all deals for Langhorne, Currie, and Ajavon before the trade deadline. Trade them away for 1st round draft picks in 2013, and/or use them, maybe even all of them to get a legitimate starting backcourt player or a player who can legitimately make plays for others.
Not easy to say, but this must be considered and done for the future of this team. If there was more starting caliber talent on the Mystics right now, I may want to hold onto Lang for as long as I possibly can, but considering that the Mystics are in a really bad situation, they need to rebuild with a new set of talent. That means rebuilding from the ground up and trading away ALL of their best players for future picks and hopefully younger talents who may be effective starters in the future.
Of the remaining Mystics on the roster who aren't part of the big three I mentioned, with the exception of Bobbitt and Thomas, every player can rebound the basketball at a good clip. the biggest need is for a player who can make plays for others but can also score the basketball somewhat efficiently. That usually is filled by a guard. The Mystics really need a guard that is better than who they have on the roster right now.
If they need to trade their entire big three for one starting guard on a another team with many good guards, then that is a trade that must be made because the Mystics need to have good playmaking starting caliber guard, especially a point guard (hopefully younger) and a decent low post option. Michelle Snow is a good enough short term option to be the low post option for now and she does have a mid range shot that is pretty effective given the circumstances.
After trading them all away, a possible starting backcourt of Thomas or Bobbitt and Quinn or Lacy would not be acceptable because none of them can score consistently nor make plays effectively as starters, but Shannon and Natasha do show some sparks as bench players. Noelle can make some threes when she's feeling it, but it is not at a level where I would like her to be. Jasmine can show some good playmaking in spurts, but I haven't seen it consistently.
Bottom line: the Mystics must trade for another decent starting caliber guard (not a superstar, but someone who can hold the fort) who can help distribute the ball effectively to make plays.
Filling in a big hole at a playmaking guard position would help allay some of my concerns about a potential Brittney Griner or Elena Delle Donne hire in 2013 given that they're centers (or in Elena's case a PF/C). Getting them alone in the draft without any backcourt improvements (which are unlikely to happen with free agency) would help even if no changes were made to the roster, but without some decent guards, their offensive talents will not be put to good use. That is why I believe right now that the Mystics are best off by having Skylar Diggins, though Griner's and Delle Donne's talents and abilities are undisputable.
Obviously, the Mystics should look into maximizing their chances for a top 3 pick and perhaps guarantee a top 3 pick by dealing one of their big three to a team that can be safely expected to be in the lottery. Perhaps Langhorne specifically could be traded to Phoenix for their 2013 1st round pick at the last moment, or to New York for their 2013 1st round pick. I do not believe that Tulsa would give up their 1st round pick for Langhorne though she could be a big time force in the front court with Cambage possibly if Tulsa was willing to opt out of the Brittney sweepstakes. But either way, I don't think the Shock should do this ever, so I'll end that talk here. I don't want to trade with NY only because the Libs are in our conference. But if the Mystics can pull such a trade with a potential lottery team, it would guarantee a top 3 pick by having two lottery picks for the draft. They won't fall worse than 3 and 4.
Among the two teams I listed, I think Lang fits better for Phoenix because there really isn't a low post star there right now and Charde isn't at Lang's level of play. She should also get help from the perimeter with Sammy P, DT, Candice and next year, Penny Taylor, unless Taylor or Dupree has to be dealt to Washington to make salaries work.
Perhaps this "blow the team up" idea is a bit too NBA-esque. However, this roster isn't working from the top down. I've already seen our top players play very well here and they still can be good or even great players, but they deserve a chance to play on another team and get away from their current environment.
So there are my thoughts on the Mystics and what they should do specifically during this break.

Sean Young hasn't had the easiest career in the world. One great role—as Rachel in Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner"—will stay with us forever, but her wider career never really took off the way you might have expected it to after starring in such a legendary film. Young's part in "Wall Street" was cut from substantial to pretty minor, and a horse-riding injury got her fired from Tim Burton's "Batman" and replaced with Kim Basinger; she was then cast in Warren Beatty's "Dick Tracy" before being fired from that too. The year after that—we're in 1991 now, almost ten years after "Blade Runner," without having had another major role—she won two acting Razzies for the same movie, playing twins in "A Kiss Before Dying." Since then, she hasn't had a lot of high profile work.
So it's maybe not surprising that Young sounded a little resentful recently when she claimed that Scott should have cast her over Charlize Theron in his most recent sci-fi movie, "Prometheus." Young sounded off at the premiere for her new film "Jug Face," saying of Theron's performance as Meredith Vickers that "It's like she was bored out of her mind—you can see it—and it's like, 'Oh my god!' That would have been really good for me, right?," and going on to suggest that, "It would have been a nod to people who like 'Blade Runner,' it would have been like, 'See, I'm using Sean again,' right? Nah."
Like we say, Young hasn't had the happiest of careers, and it's not surprising that she wants to work again with the director who gave her her best role (she recently also called for a boycott of the gestating "Blade Runner" sequel if she wasn't cast in it). But frankly, "Prometheus" was a disapointment, and Meredith Vickers a dull, dull part so perhaps Young should count herself lucky she missed out on that. [Digital Spy]

Real wedding: Amanda + Paul
Lots of beautiful shots from this San Francisco wedding shot by Steep Street! I love the mix of the Victorian house with the modern decor inside…perfect!
Flowers – Soulflowersf – green florist who also runs an intern program with at risk kids to give them business skills. Emily is great, also does flower arranging classes and I've taken two (including one as a thank you with my bridesmaids and officiant) and they are really fun and you learn a ton.
Food – Nopalito – could not have asked for better food and people to work with. Allyson and Tanisha and their staff went above and beyond on everything – including meeting with us to pick out our rentals. We've finally stopped living off the leftover (except the popsicles) but the food was exactly what we wanted.
Drinks – NOPA (Nopalito's higher end restaurant). They designed two specialty cocktails for us, in addition to their sangria and special lemondate.
Photography- Kelty of Steep Street
Month of Coordinator – Sadie at One Big Fish Green Events
Space – White Palace SF – John Martin, who could not have been nicer and he and his partner designed the house themselves – a 3 year project.
Hair – Charles at Oxenrose Salon and a good friend who I've seen for 8 years and heard about many many boyfriends pre-Paul so was almost as excited as I was when I got engaged
Dress – Lela Rose at Marina Morrison

Looking great at serving up to 127mph and a very effective second (107) serve USCs #1 player went through his opponent in grand fashion in the first to sets--6-4, 6-4. Johnson's served and volley tactics at every opportunity seem to really bother the 44th ranked Bogomov, then with a few bad line calls in the third Steve lost 3-6. In a fourth set tie breaker and cramping up he will end up in a 5th set, well he lost the 4th set 7-6 and the fifth 6-3. It was a great effort for a player that has never had to play 3 out of 5 sets to win a match.
On the bright side he is still in the mens doubles and with his abilities could go a ways in the draw, but the good sign in all this he will probably be back for his Senior year. Coming back to USC and not turning pro will enable him to work on his Two Handed backhand (I don't know why he doesn't switch to a one hander as did Pete Sampras did) and also being more patience in the grand slam events witch are 3 out of 5.

2.84/5 rDev -11.8%
Clean, light malt peachy smell aroma. Gold color with dusty notes and a decent white head that went quickly away. Starts with a light malt sweetness that is almost immediately balanced by hop. The finish is lightly bitter. Arguably a light pilsener. An okay effort that bests the mass-produced mexican crap.

12 oz. bottle,
A: Pours a deeper gold with a much fuller white head than the Light. Good retention, some lace.
S: Pils type malt, honey and lemon, light hops.
T: Fairly fruity for a pale lager. Notes of orange and honey, lemon hops. Light malt flavour.
M: Light-bodied, fizzy, prickly carbonation.
O: A solid pale lager, I was something with a little more hops and balance.

355ml bottle poured into a 16oz pint glass.
A - Pours with just under a finger of slightly off-white head. Translucent pale yellow in color.
S - Sweet malt and adjunct grain, with something weird that I can't quite identify in the background; but I think it might be beans.
T - Light malt and hops upfront with a really metallic finish. Not exactly a desirable flavor profile off the start. I don't particularly care for the flavor here, but it brings more character to the table than a lot of other lagers I've tried.
M - Surprisingly low carbonation with a medium body to it.
D - After a few other reviewers said they had conflicting ABV listings I decided to check my bottle, only to find that it doesn't state the ABV anywhere on it. The strong metallic aftertaste is also quite unenjoyable. Altogether, this doesn't make for a very good brew.

Thanks to Jacob for another rare lager tick from what I can assume is some incarnation of a dollar store.
A: The pour is a clear straw color with a fizzy white head that dies away quickly.
S: Not a horribly offensive aroma, but not necessarily a good one, either. Pretty watery with some mild grain/malt notes to it and a bit of skunk. This is supposed to be a 100% malt beer, but I can't help but smell corn.
T: Pretty much the same story with the flavor. Watered down for the most part with a bit of grain/malt flavor. Some grassy hops, mild skunk, and an overall pretty bland flavor.
M: Certainly light bodied with a medium level of carbonation.
O: I was expecting worse, but this turned out to be okay. I won't say it was good, or that I'd want to drink it again, but it wasn't offensive.

3.1/5 rDev -3.7%
355ml bottle, weirdly conflicting ABV listings - the back label adds a 3.5% count to the mix.
This beer pours a mildly hazy pale golden colour, with a damned skinny single finger of fizzy white head, which bails in an instant, leaving a few low streaks of lace in its stead. It smells of breakfast cereal grain - toasted corn and Shreddies, along with a bit of weedy, earthy hops. The taste is doughy, cornbread malt, kind of astringently metallic, and somewhat bitter dead flower essence hops. The carbonation is moderate, the body medium weight, a little edgy, but generally smooth. It finishes off-dry, the grainy sweetness getting a strong noogie from the flinty, mineral-esque bio-mass hops.
While clearly the best Mexican lager that I've ever come across, the label claim of being "Craft Beer" may be more indicative of size, rather than outright quality - the metallic off-flavours see to that.

Although a lager would never be my first choice (unless in a Bier Garten with a Mass glass), delighted to have found a "real" one in Mexico instead of the typical adjunct horror. Barley is king!
Pale golden lager with continuous carbonation and minimal white head. Sweet barley (!) aroma, with a crisp grainy taste. The finish is sweeter than I'd choose, although I'm pretty certain there were bittering hops in the kettle - they offer a subtle backbone.
Not the best or most flavourful lager I've ever tasted, but refreshing and certainly miles ahead of any other lagers I've found in Mexico. My best wishes for this microbrewery's success in this still unbelievably macro-centric country!

I just discovered that a trip to TJ won't be necessary to sample this brewery, since Hi-Time was selling a three pack taster of this Tijuanan brewery. Here's my first encounter, so on to the beer:
A touch of haze sits in the body of this washed out, lemon peel colored body. Some carbonation bubbles rise to the top. Head formation is a half inch thick and white, retention of it is solid, kicks up some pretty lacing. The nose knows not to expect a whole lot, and that's precisely what it gets. It has a "plain" aroma, not offensive nor exciting. A little bit of pale malt and a kiss of pineapple are what I get.
Taste is not great nor bad either. Like the nose, it is "plain". Decent amounts of grassy and floral notes keep it from being bland. Clean in the overall scheme of things and in the aftertaste. Easy to drink and appetizing enough to have at least a few bottles.
Not the most exciting beer to come out of Mexico, but still a decent choice. In a way, it's like a Mexican version of Longboard Lager.

Found two different abv's listed. 4.8% and 3.5%. Calories @104. Split the difference on abv? Lol
Very clear, very pale yellow. Bright white head, slight wisps of lacing
Sweet grain malts, slight hint of corn tortillas, and a slight metallic note
Must agree with others that the hops are much more pronounced here than what is evident in the aroma. Malts tend to be metallic in nature before trending to a watery sweetness. Hops are quite grassy/dandelion like. Finishes quite bitter and dry. Annoying metallic taste clings like a barnacle well after a swig
Light bodied with lively carbonation.
Still laughing at the rear label stating this is 'Mexican Craft Beer'. I guess it's safer than drinking the water.

4.03/5 rDev +25.2%
A: Yellow, transparent and low carbonation. Clean white head, not much, around half an inch, leaving a very thin lace. Very much like other lagers from Mexico.
S: You can detect the wheat and malt in there. Sweet aroma.
T: First sip and BOOM! Bread all over the place! A sensation I really enjoyed. The taste of dough leaves place to a sweet malt taste and wheat. After that, a faint hoppy taste that vanishes and leaves more wheat and a faint honey-like sweetness.
M: Really pleasant, I could easily have another couple of these. The carbonation is a little too high for me, but not unpleasant at all, the aftertaste is really good, tasty and rich.
Overall, better than any other lager you can get in Mexico. You may feel this beer is not so special if you're in the US or another part of the world, but believe me, living here in Mexico is not easy for someone who wants something different in a beer. I've been drinking almost exclusively ales for the past 6 months, and I was pleased to find such a tasty beer (and also brewed in my own city!) here in Tijuana.

A: very pale color, completely traslucent, with huge amount of carbonatation, which generates a richy white head, neves dissapears at all, looks like there is too much water, very light body i am suspecting
S: there is a tiny barley notes but also adjunct, the smeel is not so deep
T: Well I was expecting so less flavour, there is a great bread taste thats last for a while, literally is like if you are eating a just baked bread, takin into consideration the style is a great taste, i would say neutral you find some sweet and bitter but perfectly balanced
M: a very light bodied beer as expected, but you don get the crisp on tongue.

355ml bottle poured into pint glass jan23 2011
A clear straw yellow that has some dust sized particles and a couple bubbles with the occasional massive popping up from the bottom, not much for head and zero lace
S some sweet grains and some faint hops, not a bad smell but rather faint
T again pretty basic not much more then what I smell
M thin but enough bubbles to give it some life
D not far from water, nothing offensive but not much going on
hey at least I finished it without issues unlike many lagers from Mexico

A: Clear pale yellow color with medium carbonation inside, translucent body with a head with good retention to the glass, compact bubble with almost withe color.
S: Nice smell for a Pale lager, you can feel the malt really clear and intense.
T: Barley flavor combined with the bitterness of hops.
M: Bitter sensation almost since the beginning, it gets the higher level at the end where you sense a dry bitter finish.

2.88/5 rDev -10.6%
12oz bottle poured into a super new Sam Adams glass, no freshness date.
A: Pours a clear dark straw light copper amber with a quarter inch head after even a vigourous pour from the bottle. Good amount of carbonation bubbling up from the bottom of the glass, head goes away rather quick and leaves little lacing.
S: Preety decent amount of sweet malt if just a tad bit corny, just a bit better than an american macro lager.
T/MF: Big green apple flavor greets the tongue on the first sip but at least it covers the corn taste that brings up the rear on this beer, the finish is a lot cornier and tastes of various other cooked veggies with hints of fruity hoppiness but really the only fruit taste this beer relies on is the large apple opening that does not want to go away, though the carbonation is lively it does not make this beer taste any better than it actually is.
D: Better or at least the most different tasting Mexican lager I have ever tried with the exception of Negra Modelo, but really this taste and smell is nothing new, nothing hard to drink but nothing that exciting.

The beer spews forth from the 12 ounce bottle a clear straw color with a frothy white head that might make two fingers, as it disappears, the lace forms a thin veil upon the glass. Nose is the quintessential lagers, crisp with a nice malt sweetness, start the archytypal lager sweet malt with the top light to medium. Finish has the standardized acidity, with the hops unexceptional, quite dry aftertaste, not a drain pour, by any means, just the customary all malt lager, and that isnt all bad

On tap at San Diego County Fair.
Taste is of roasted malts, with a decent sweetness. A little bit of caramel is present as well. Light body, as expected.
This is altogether not bad at all for the style, and makes for an easy to drink beer. Nothing special, nothing that I'll really remember - but definitely better than the BMCs of the world.
Recommended for the style.

Colored amber-yellow, tiny suspended sediment throughout, transparent, foam cap holds, foam drapes glass when drank.
Malt smells light and sweet, balanced and fresh smelling.
Slight tartness at first leads to a smooth light malt that continues to the finish, unsweet malt throughout. Fresh grains and malt.
Carbonated smoothness come out when drank. As with taste, slight twang at the beginning to becomes and ends smooth, aftertaste of satisfying maltiness, but again not overpowering at all.
Well done, pleasantly surprised, I need to find this and buy some more.

This beer poured a clear straw color with a nice head. It had a hoppy, sweet smell. The taste is clean and crisp and slightly salty. The mouthfeel is thin. This is one of those that is drinkable very cold on a hot day. I highly recomend drinking this lager beer. It is very hoppy in taste and thats what sooths my thirst.

Ocean County freeholders pledged Wednesday to continue to deliver the most services at the lowest cost to residents while selecting new leadership for 2012.
was unanimously selected to serve as freeholder director, and John C. Bartlett was named deputy director at the board's annual reorganization meeting, held in the county . Longtime Freeholder Joseph Vicari, who served as director in 2011, moved down the dais after being .
Little and Bartlett praised Vicari's leadership in front of a standing-room-only crowd filled with municipal and county officials as well as Congressmen Christopher Smith and Jon Runyan. The new leaders promised to maintain Ocean's AAA bond rating while serving the county's diverse population.
"The fundamental benchmark of this board continues to be anchored by our conservative fiscal approach to county government," said Little, a Surf City resident. "Ocean County will continue to live within its means. We will balance our budget, and we will meet the state's 2 percent budget cap."
All speakers referenced troubled economic times in their remarks, but the freeholders said they will pursue multiple priorities while remaining fiscally sound.
"We're proud to continue to deliver the services to the people of Ocean County and to do so in a fiscally responsible manner," said Freeholder John P. Kelly.
Little, who has previously served as director and deputy director, boasted of the nearly 13,000 acres of land preserved under the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund and promised to "continue to preserve environmentally sensitive lands" as well as cooperate with the state on Gov. Chris Christie's to protect Barnegat Bay.
The nine-year freeholder also promised to serve the county's neediest residents, with continued support for the Board of Social Services, Department of Human Services and Board of Health, as well as the county's roughly 60,000 veterans and 160,000 senior citizens.
"Our goal is to preserve the vital services to the people of Ocean County," said Vicari, the Berkeley Township schools superintendent.
People have 'elected stability'
With Vicari's re-election, the five-member freeholder board remains stable for the ninth straight year. That continuity was cited by multiple speakers as one of Ocean's keys to success.
"The people of this county have elected stability, and that's what they receive," said Bartlett, a Pine Beach resident who has been in office 33 years.
Congressman Smith agreed. "People recognize the quality of work that you do," he said. "This is a freeholder board of excellence."
Freeholders said they operate in a spirit of cooperation that utilizes their collective experience spanning more than 100 years.
Little, who served as director in 2006 and deputy in 2011 and 2009, has extensive experience in government, including a council stint in Surf City and tenure on the Long Beach Township Board of Commissioners. He served as chief of staff for the 9th Legislative District from 1984 until his retirement in 2003. Little, a former Marine, also served on the Ocean County Planning Board and county Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Council.
As a freeholder, Little has chaired Human Services and worked as the liaison to departments including Veterans Services, Social Services and more.
Bartlett, the chairman of the Departments of Finance and Parks and Recreation, is a former Pine Beach mayor and councilman as well as an ex-teacher at . He served as director of the freeholder board five times previously and was deputy director twice.
Vicari, the chairman of the Ocean County Office of Senior Services, is a former Dover Township committeeman and mayor as well as a lifelong educator. He has served as liaison to the Ocean County Library system, the Vo-Tech schools, the Ocean County Airpark and more.
"The greatest opportunity I've had is working with my colleagues on this Board of Chosen Freeholders," Vicari said.
The feeling is mutual.
"I couldn't have someone better to work with than Joe (Vicari)," Bartlett said.
Before adjourning to a reception at the Holiday Inn, the new freeholder director said the longtime colleagues are ready for whatever 2012 may bring.
"Every year brings a new set of challenges, and this board is ready to meet those challenges," Little said. "Our commitment remains providing affordable government services for Ocean County taxpayers. With this approach, Ocean County will continue to be that great place to live, work, raise a family and retire."

I wonder if there is some free solutions for typing math formulas in LaTeX way in Microsoft word document (Office 2007)?
The question asked about "typing math formulas in LaTeX way in Microsoft word document (Office 2007)." But the responses and comments to date actually answer a different question -- how to embed an actual LaTeX processor into Word.
Very few people realize that the built-in equation editor in Word 2007 actually understands LaTeX-style equation entry. Simply insert a new equation, and then type LaTeX into it. As you type, Word will built up a graphical representation of the equation.
Once it appears in the GUI, you can no longer edit it as LaTeX. Word does not have an embedded TeX processor -- it's just doing pattern matching to convert simple LaTeX syntax into the native equation format. You should therefore not expect to get perfect fidelity for super-complex LaTeX equations. However, it's enough for probably anyone but a mathematician, and it's a lot faster than clicking elements with the mouse.
The Word 2007 equation editor also has a linear equation entry format, which is fairly intuitive and does not require familiarity with LaTeX. For example, typing in
You can use Latex in Word.
It provides macros for Microsoft Word that allow the use of LaTeX input to create equations images in both inline and display modes without having to install any software on the local computer. As far as I know, this is the only free alternative to the paid programs like Aurora and TexPoint.
For Office 2007, go to Latex in Word Project Page on Source Forge, and click on Word 2007 under Files.
I prefer TeXsword over Latex in Word (http://sourceforge.net/projects/texsword/). It has all the features of Latex in Word, plus gives handling of equation references. And it doesn't require the Internet connection, which I see as a feature not a limitation: MikeTeX isn't that big after all, and having the LaTeX locally allows you typing your document when traveling.

Correspondence: A Response to TNR's Article on Tomas Tranströmer
February 07, 2012
I write to correct some inaccuracies in Helen Vendler's recent article about Tomas Tranströmer. Monica Tranströmer did indeed read out her husband's poem "Från mars – 79" at the Nobel ceremony last December, but the English translation was not by Robin Fulton. Rather diplomatically, the translation that she read was not Fulton's or Robert Bly's, or Robin Robertson's; instead, it was nearly—but not quite—that of John F. Deane.
