RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup
Wildfire Golf Club at JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa
Phoenix, Ariz.
Pre-tournament notes and interviews
March 15, 2012
Yani Tseng, Rolex Rankings No. 1
Angela Stanford, Rolex Rankings No. 13
Karrie Webb, Rolex Rankings No. 19 and defending champion
The LPGA begins its U.S. domestic schedule this week by celebrating the 13 Founders of the LPGA Tour at the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup this week. The tournament returns to Phoenix with significant enhancements including a $1.5 million purse, with $500,000 going to the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Program, a four-day, 72-hole format.
Karrie Webb returns to Wildfire Golf Club after defeating Paula Creamer and Brittany Lincicome by one stroke in 2011. Webb, who won the HSBC Women's Champions just three weeks prior to the Founders Cup last year, earned her second-consecutive win of the 2011 season firing rounds of 71-67-66 to capture her 38th career victory. The LPGA and World Golf Halls of Fame member donated the $200,000 first-place check to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and Japan Relief.
Under Pressure: While every player vies to become the number one player on the Rolex Rankings, once they have reached that coveted position, it can come with an increased amount of pressure. This was no different for last year's Rolex Player of the Year Yani Tseng who began this year's 2012 season with pressure to follow-up her highly decorated 2011 campaign.
Last season, Tseng notched seven LPGA Tour victories and five international wins. She became the youngest LPGA player in history to win four majors after her impressive win at the Wegmans LPGA Championship. Tseng led the LPGA Tour in 10 statistical categories and became the youngest player ever to win consecutive Rolex Player of the Year awards. She also won her first Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average with a final scoring average of 69.66.
The pressure began to mount for Tseng when the 2012 LPGA season kicked-off in Melbourne, Australia for the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open. Entering the week, Tseng began to doubt if she could follow-up her stellar 2011 season and the difficulty of playing under pressure ensued.
"I mean it's very tough because I know ‑‑ I don't know if I can win again," said Tseng during Friday's pre-tournament press conference. "I don't know if I can play well like last year, so I have been putting lots of pressure on myself."
Tseng finished tied for eighth at the ISPS Handa Australian Open then made her way to the winner's circle after a victory at the Honda Thailand. "Winning in Thailand gave me a lot of confidence that I know I can do it again, I know I can play well," said Tseng.
Remembering a legacy… More than 60 years ago, 13 women united to begin a tradition that has grown into the largest and best known women's sports organization. Today, there are more than 200 active members on the LPGA Tour, with about half being international players representing 27 different countries. To say the Tour has made huge strides over the years would be an understatement.
Defending Founders Cup champion Karrie Webb, a 17-year veteran on the Tour and LPGA and World Golf Halls of Fame member, joins LPGA members new and old to honor the founders and the many generations after them who have continued the legacy and contributed to the Tour's success.
"The generation of veteran players when I first came on tour had that real sense of pride in the tour and where they'd come from and what they'd established and they really made a big effort to pass that on," Webb said.
"It is up to players like myself to try and emphasize how important it is, the history. And just so that it does carry on, and you know, I think that's only going to help our tour grow because if we can get the girls to believe in something that was created from nothing and to what it is today, then they'll want to make it better when they leave as well."
Keeping the theme: Last year's inaugural RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup generated a lot of buzz with the LPGA golfers playing entirely for charity in the event. This year a $1.5 million purse has been added to the event, but it doesn't mean that the original spirit of the Founders Cup has been lost.
Angela Stanford, who captured her fifth LPGA career victory at the Tour's last tournament in Singapore, has pledged to donate one half of her earnings this week to her foundation, The Angela Stanford Foundation. The foundation helps provide scholarships to kids who have had family members with cancer or have cancer themselves. Stanford's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 and her courageous battle to beat the disease has motivated Stanford to help others who are being affected by cancer.
"Last year my foundation received $30,000 from my finish here, and you know, for a foundation just getting off the ground, that's tremendous," Stanford said. " And we had a board meeting in January and we're kind of thinking about the events coming up this year and kind of what we're looking at going forward, and my first gut instinct was, you know, that was a special part of our foundation last year, and I want to do that again. I want to be connected to this tournament in that way, because it is the concept of giving back and remembering that there's a bigger picture."
Focus on the majors: Stanford has already crossed one goal off her checklist this season -- getting back in the winners' circle in Singapore following three-year drought. But while she was able to release some of the pressure she was putting on herself by capturing her first victory since the 2009 SBS Open at Turtle Bay, Stanford said that she still feels the pressure to win her first major.
"You kind of go through the whole process again," Stanford said. " It's like you want to win a tournament, but then the majors -- it's the same thing. That's one of my ultimate goals. So as much as I say I'm going to try to not put a lot of pressure on myself and try to stay ‑‑ keep the perspective and stay patient, subconsciously when you want something so bad, you know, you can't always control what you're feeling.
"But I'm definitely more confident. My caddie's been great. Again, I kind of feel like I'm in just one of those really good places that I was in '08 and into '09. And it's kind of cool that I've gotten to play this long and it's familiar, and that's the fun part about it."
Take me out to the crowd…Back in the days when the LPGA Founders were first beginning the Tour, many of the women headed out to baseball games and other sporting events to promote the LPGA. So perhaps it's only fitting that during this week's RR Donnelley LPGA Founder Cup, which honors the 13 original founders, the current LPGA players have gone back to those same grassroots efforts.
Major League Baseball's Spring Training Cactus League is in full swing in Phoenix and on Wednesday night, there were a few players who were heading to the Rockies-Diamondbacks game at Talking Stick to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch. Among the players expected to participate are Angela Stanford, Kristy McPherson, Katie Futcher, Gerina Piller, Meredith Duncan and Jenny Gleason.
Last week, some of the players who were already in Arizona in advance of the tournament threw out first pitches at games including Amanda Blumenherst, Paige Mackenzie, and Irene Cho.
Tweet of the Day: "Commissioner Whan is behind me in the pro am. He has been downgraded to signboy. Guess he needs to practice his game a bit more." -- @SophieGustafson
YANI TSENG, Rolex Rankings No. 1
THE MODERATOR: We'd like to welcome Rolex No. 1 Yani Tseng into the interview room. Thanks so much for joining us today. It's been a great start to the 2012 season for you already, coming off what was a very impressive 2011 season. You've had three straight Top 10 finishes, one win already, and the other two events you finished just a couple of shots, either one or two shots out of the playoff. I guess coming into this week how are you feeling about your game and how you've been able to play so far this year.
YANI TSENG: I feel good. I've been working really hard through my off season, and with the Asian three weeks, I played well, but my distance was kind of off a little bit. I hit further on my iron, my driver and wood. So like after the three weeks, I couldn't figure out how much distance I got, like hitting longer, so last week I was in Orlando with my coach and we work on some distance to make sure every club is more consistent to hitting five or seven yards longer. So now I feel very comfortable on my distance now and I don't have to be afraid if I hit the shot it's going to go longer or shorter, so I mean I just feel good about it.
My fitness has been very good, and I changed a little bit of my swing. I'm always very happy to be back here and play on this great golf course. I mean the course is a little narrow for me, but it's not much rough there. But you don't know where your ball is going, but I just need to be patient. So I'm very looking forward to play well this week.
THE MODERATOR: You won in Thailand for a second straight year and after that victory you talked a little bit about pressure you had felt to repeat 2011 and how that victory kind of helped take a little bit of pressure off you. Did you notice that a little bit when you were playing in Singapore that the pressure wasn't as great or do you feel a little bit of that pressure off of you as you head into this week?
YANI TSENG: Yeah, of course. I feel much better after I win in Thailand because when in Melbourne I was very stressful, putting so much pressure on myself, and then my team got me very ‑‑ I got very crazy. I mean it's very tough because I know ‑‑ I don't know if I can win again. I don't know if I can play well like last year, so I have been putting lots of pressure on myself.
But after winning in Thailand gave me a lot of confidence that I know I can do it again, I know I can play well, and after those three weeks, I told my coach I feel I can win three, but we won. But I know I do my best for the last three weeks, and I still learned something from it and you just learn from your mistakes and you keep going and working hard, and to see what can I improve for these three weeks.
THE MODERATOR: What's the biggest difference for you being No. 1 in the world this year compared to when you had that title last year and it was still pretty new to you?
YANI TSENG: More pressure. I mean more pressure, but I still feel good about it. I still feel I'm very enjoying it. I mean for the new season starts, you see your friends on the tour. You see the media, fans, every week you kind of see different people you know from the past three years. So it's always good to be back on the tour and just enjoy everything I have.
But like this year I figured I organize better my time and my schedule and when I have interview and I can have fun, I can balance with my time to practice, relax, do an interview. So I mean my team is doing a good job on this, and I know what's the best for me to do. So that makes more balance and more fun, too.
THE MODERATOR: Questions for Yani? After the extraordinary year that you had last year, now you're in this new year. You have your first win of the ‑‑ you have your first win of the year. And you're going about it the same way you did last year, being grateful for what you have, being happy, one shot at a time, all those things. If you got to the end of the year and you only had that one win, would you still be satisfied with your year?
YANI TSENG: Hopefully not. I never thought about that. I wish I could win more than one this year. But like every tournament I think is big. I give 100 percent effort for every shot, every tournament. And I hope to do well, and like I said, I've been working hard on my off season and improving on my swing, so I'd love to see how much I can improve my fitness, my skill, my mental things for this year.
So I'm very excited to see how many wins I can have, so I don't expect I only have one. Hopefully not, though.
Q. When you said you went a little bit crazy with your team, what does that mean exactly?
YANI TSENG: Like I'm very picky. Doesn't matter what they eat, what they're listening, what they talk, I just very pick, why you say that, why you eat that, don't change the channel and don't listen to this music. Everything I'm just very picky. I don't know what I'm doing. They always tell me just relax, okay, don't worry about it. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and I always say, no, I feel relaxed. I have no pressure. I'm having fun. They're like, no, you're not. You look like you're really mad.
And like last winter in Melbourne I didn't go out. Normally I'm thinking we should go shopping, go watch movies, but no, I was in the hotel. Everything I'm thinking what time to go work out, what time I should go to the golf course or what can I improve today. Everything's about golf.
But I mean before I always keep having fun, to go out, go sightseeing and see how beautiful the city, but not the week in Melbourne. So that's kind of not normal for me.
THE MODERATOR: So what are you doing this week to have fun and keep yourself loose?
YANI TSENG: I just going to go massage a little bit later, but after I see the golf course, go shop a little bit and maybe go watch movie a little bit, and next week I might go to Sea World on Monday.
I don't know. I'm planning on being relaxed and not think about too much golf because when we have a week off and I prepare to play well and I'm working hard with a week off and I'm just ready for the tournament.
Q. I actually learned about you at Oak Valley golf course and I was just wondering how did you find Oak Valley and do you still go back?
YANI TSENG: Yes, actually I was there last week and with my sister. My sister still lives in Beaumont. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere. The first time I went there my dad have friends there, and he think that's a good place to practice for me because I live like five minutes from the golf course. So every day is like golf course and home because you can't go anywhere. You have to drive like an hour to go to have fun. So I mean that's a great place to practice, play on the Oak Valley is a very good golf course. And then some friends from Taiwan practice there, too, so you have a friend that you can hang out with. So it's really nice for me when I first two years started on the tour.
Q. Can you talk about the difference between last year's tournament, you guys played for charity and this year you guys get to keep the winnings. Does that change anything for you guys?
THE MODERATOR: He's talking about how last year you guys played for charity at this tournament. Now what difference does it make having a purse and do you feel any differently going into the tournament?
YANI TSENG: You know, I feel the same. I mean every tournament it's just a matter if we play for charity or we play to have money because I mean everybody wants to win in a tournament. So it's not about money. It's about the title we want. It's about how much to see how much we can play on this golf course.
I mean the Founders Cup is great because if we don't have those founders we wouldn't be here. So I really appreciate that, to have those, they making the LPGA to all the junior, all the younger players have a dream to play on the tour, like I'm one of them. So I just really appreciate to be part of this.
THE MODERATOR: This week one of the big things is $500,000 goes to girls golf and helping junior golf. I know that's been a big push for you in Taiwan. What's it mean to see all the young girls out here and have the founders who began this and now for you guys to kind of help push golf to another generation?
YANI TSENG: I know it's huge. I mean we so many girls play on the tour, everybody helps a lot for the ladies golf, junior golf and everybody has done a great job to doing this. Ladies golf has grown a lot over in Asia and United States. I mean Golf Channel covers more on the TV, more live on the TV. Everybody is going to see directly instead of taping. So I mean that's huge for those girls that you can always watch your idols in front of TV.
And I mean we give our 100 percent effort to our country, all the players give 100 percent effort for their country, and every time when I go back to Taiwan and I try to help out the juniors and try to keep going to all the golf in Taiwan and even those people that they don't know about golf, but try to teach them, like introduce them to golf.
Q. So now that you're not in Beaumont, are living in Orlando full time?
YANI TSENG: Yes. Most of the time I live in Orlando for two years already.
Q. So how do you find living on the other side of the country in a place where all you're doing is just practicing golf?
YANI TSENG: Like I mean for me I love living in the States. It doesn't matter if it's Orlando. Orlando for us is just so much easier for traveling because we have so many golf tournaments around the East Coast.
But I love California. My sister lives there, my sister study there, so every time I go back to stay with my sister and to hang out together, but I mean I just love here. The people are so nice, and just like even people that you don't know, you still say hi. And I mean I just love those cultures.
Q. You get a lot of wind practice in Beaumont. Yes?
YANI TSENG: Yes. Yes. Even in Taiwan, Taiwan is very, very windy. So when I'm in Beaumont, I just feel the same.
ANGELA STANFORD, Rolex Rankings No. 13
THE MODERATOR: We'd like to welcome Rolex Ranking No. 13 Angela Stanford into the interview room. Angela, coming into this event having won at the last event, the HSBC Women's Champions, a very prestigious event and fifth career LPGA victory for you. Just talk a little bit about how you feel about your game right now and how it felt to be back in the winner's circle again in Singapore.
ANGELA STANFORD: Well, it felt good. You know, I think it was three years in between, and it never gets old. And it was a lot of fun coming home and seeing everybody, and sometimes for me the most fun is talking to other people about it. And all the guys at shady oaks and all my family and friends, they love it so much, and that's a lot of fun for me.
My game, I feel like my short game's getting better, and that's where I think I've struggled in the past. So to keep momentum going in a round you have to be able to get it up and down, and I haven't been able to do that in the past, so that really helped in Singapore.
So the game feels good, and excited about this week.
THE MODERATOR: When you go so long between victories, do you get to the point where you almost feel yourself pressing at times to try to just get that win, and what kind of pressure does it take off of you now having that victory and maybe feeling a little bit more comfortable?
ANGELA STANFORD: You could probably ask me that same question in a couple of weeks at Kraft. I think you do press because it's almost like you know what it feels like to win and you know what it feels like to be there, and you're trying to make those things happen sometimes.
You know, fortunately for me I've been blessed to not be injured, and I've been able to play. This is my 12th year. So you get to a point where you just kind of let go and just play, and I told myself coming into this year I'm going to get back to just having fun hitting the golf ball. And that's what happened in Singapore. It kind of started in Thailand and then carried over to Singapore.
THE MODERATOR: Talking to everybody today, all the other golfers, this week is pretty special because we get to honor all of the Founders, and last year this event was all about charity. While we now have a purse and you actually get to play for money, you still are embracing that charity aspect. Can you talk a little bit about your pledge to donate?
ANGELA STANFORD: Sure. You know, I decided to give half of what I make this year to my foundation.
Last year my foundation received $30,000 from my finish here, and you know, for a foundation just getting off the ground, that's tremendous. And we had a board meeting in January and we're kind of thinking about the events coming up this year and kind of what we're looking at going forward, and it was kind of my first gut instinct was, you know, that was a special part of our foundation last year, and I'm not ‑‑ I want to do that again. You know, I want to be connected to this tournament in that way, because it is the concept of giving back and remembering that there's a bigger picture.
THE MODERATOR: Can you talk just a little bit about your foundation and all the many things that you get to do through the foundation?
ANGELA STANFORD: Yeah, you know, this year is going to be really cool because we are giving out our first round of scholarships, we're giving scholarships to kids who have had family members with cancer or have cancer themselves.
So we're really ‑‑ you know, it's for anybody, but we're really kind of targeting that group of people that, you know, I grew up in a very middle class family, and my mom was diagnosed in '09 with breast cancer, and if that would have happened while I was in high school, you know, financially we would have been strapped, and so we're really trying to reach those people that don't qualify for some grants or scholarships, and we're just by seeing what cancer does to a family, we're just trying to help in a different area.
THE MODERATOR: I know you are very busy off the course with your foundation and you've got a lot of other things going on off the course as well. And you're wearing a new sponsor. Can you talk a little bit about Athena Water and your new partnership with them?
ANGELA STANFORD: Yeah. Athena Water is new this year and I'm very excited about it. All the proceeds go to finding a cure for breast cancer, and having my mom beat cancer, you know, it's pretty cool.
You know, I just think that my family went into it not having any idea what was coming at us. And now I feel like I want to give back and I want to help those people that, you know, they just don't know what's going to happen, and I think the more knowledge you have and the more dollars you can raise to teach people and then to find a cure and all the research that goes with it, I mean it all helps.
It feels really good because it just feels like a good fit.
THE MODERATOR: Well, speaking of another fun thing that you get to be involved in this week, I helped corner you into doing something tonight, and we are going to the Rockies‑Diamondbacks game and you and a few of the other players will be singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch. How excited are you to take part in this?
ANGELA STANFORD: I'm kind of nervous because I'm only holding one mic and it's just me right now and I don't want you to put me up to warming up in front of everybody because I have a bunch of people behind me tonight and the mic's going to be like this [motions far away].
So it's going to be a lot of fun, and I think a lot of people know that I'm a huge baseball fan, and it'll be fun. I've never done anything like this before. I mean I think I'm a good singer by myself, but I don't sing in public, so this is kind of getting out of my comfort zone, but it'll be fun.
THE MODERATOR: It's one of us, I guess, a reminder of what the Founders all used to do when they had to go out and promote at baseball games, and I guess this week is kind of fun when you see everybody throwing out first pitches, going back into that grass‑roots efforts that we have to promote the LPGA. Questions for Angela?
Q. Last year in an introspective moment you talk about trying not to be so hard on yourself and you weren't so sure if you could do that or not. And it sounds like with this start this year that you're beyond that. And I'm wondering if there was a trigger point for you. I thought maybe it might have been the playoff last year, but it sounds like it was later than that.
ANGELA STANFORD: You know, I think you get to a point in life that, you know, there are some good things happening off the golf course, with my foundation. My mom is as healthy as she's been in a while.
You know, I just think you have these ebbs and flows to life, and I'm just in a really good place right now. And you know, there's so many things that I get to do with my foundation and Athena Water, and just all of a sudden you ‑‑ I mean it sounds weird, but you enjoy playing golf more. And I can't explain it. So going into this year, I took an extended break in the off season and just really tried to find out what was important, and realized that there's more to it than hitting this little golf ball around. So I think sometimes that helps.
Perspective helps, and again, this is my twelfth year, and I don't know how much longer I'll do it. And you know, I hope for a certain date, but I'm to the point to where I want to enjoy it now. And that might have had something to do with winning in Singapore. Hope so.
Q. So what's more nerve‑wracking, throwing the pitch or singing at the baseball game?
ANGELA STANFORD: I think throwing the pitch, because singing, from what I understand ‑‑ I forgot who was giving us this tip, like you start the song and then like the crowd kind of starts singing too and then you kind of put the mic down and everybody's singing, but when you're throwing the first pitch, it's you. So I think the first pitch is the toughest.
Q. And who else is doing it with you?
ANGELA STANFORD: Let's see. Me, Gerina Piller, Kristy McPherson, Jenny Gleason, Meredith Duncan, Kate Futcher, possibly Stacy Lewis. Stacy, you know, she wants to see how many people. So she's not confirmed yet.
Q. And how much more relaxed are you about the rest of the year having the win under your belt already?
ANGELA STANFORD: I think if anything I just have a little more confidence. You know, there's still that lingering thought of winning a major, and that's ‑‑ you know, you kind of go through the whole process again. It's like, you know, you want to win a tournament, but then the majors are ‑‑ it's the same thing.
So you know, that's one of my ultimate goals. So as much as I say I'm going to try to not put a lot of pressure on myself and try to stay ‑‑ keep the perspective and stay patient, subconsciously when you want something so bad, you know, you can't always control what you're feeling.
But I'm definitely more confident, and at least now ‑‑ you know, my caddie's been great. Again, I kind of feel like I'm in just one of those really good places that I was in '08 and into '09. And it's kind of cool that I've gotten to play this long and it's familiar, and that's the fun part about it.
KARRIE WEBB, defending champion and Rolex Rankings No. 19
THE MODERATOR: We'd like to welcome Karrie Webb, our defending champion and Rolex Rankings No. 19 into the interview room. First off, just give me some of your thoughts about being back here, second year of this event, won it last year. There have been a few changes to the event, but how excited are you to be back here in Phoenix defending your title?
KARRIE WEBB: I'm really excited to be back here. Phoenix has actually treated me pretty well throughout my career, so it's nice to be back here again as defending champion.
THE MODERATOR: You played really well in Thailand, finishing in a tie for ninth, and you had some ups and downs in some of the other events. How are you feeling about the state of your game right now heading into this week?
KARRIE WEBB: I feel pretty good. I feel like it's pretty close. I made some changes in the off season to my swing, just to tidy things up a little bit. It's becoming more consistent. So I need to work on that to where I feel like it's there day in and day out.
My coach, Ian Triggs, will be here next week, so it's a matter of if I can take it from the range to the course. But I'm not quite carrying it out on the course consistently.
And sometimes I think that's just because I've done so much technical work on the range that I'm taking that technical thought process out on to the course and I really need to figure it up a little bit.
THE MODERATOR: I know in Thailand there were some glimpses where you felt really good. Was it the same in Singapore where there were moments where you felt the swing was coming together and others where you felt it was still a little too technical.
KARRIE WEBB: Yeah, I think so. I got off to a poor start in Singapore the first nine holes, but managed to have a nice come back there, but then I never really carried on with that momentum from Thursday afternoon.
So it was a little bit more up‑and‑down, and you know, I think Singapore's course is one where last year I felt really comfortable on the greens and this year I didn't. And they're the type of greens that I think it goes one way or the other.
THE MODERATOR: Always exciting to come back to an event that you've won. When we have an event like this, too, where we're honoring the LPGA Founders and you get to see all of them around throughout the week, how nice is it to be able to visit with them and get to promote them to everybody that might not always get to learn about these great women?
KARRIE WEBB: Yeah. I was at dinner for RR Donnelley last night, and Marilynn and Shirley and Louise were there, and I got to sit at the table with them, and it's always great to catch up with them.
I feel very fortunate that early in my career they were young enough that we probably saw them four or five times a year and now we're lucky if we see them once a year, and I think having a tournament in honor of them, I think is why they make such a great effort to come out as well, and I think it's great for the young kids to get to meet them and hear some of the stories. I think any of the girls, the young girls especially that were at the dinner last night would have got a real kick out of hearing some of their stories from 50, 60 years ago.
Q. You mentioned the Founders, and from your perspective do you think that the LPGA as a whole has a real sense of history of what proceeded most of these golfers out here?
KARRIE WEBB: Yeah, I think so as a whole. I think when I first came on tour, the generation of more veteran players when I first came on tour had that real sense of pride in the tour and where they'd come from and what they'd established and they really made a big effort to pass that on.
And I feel like ‑‑ and again, having the founders there, they were there and present and so you got to feel that history, and like I said, now we don't have that opportunity as much, but it is up to players like myself to try and emphasize how important it is, the history. And just so that it does carry on, and you know, I think that's only going to help our tour grow because if we can get the girls to believe in something that was created from nothing and to what it is today, then they'll want to make it better when they leave as well.
Q. When you look at the all‑time money list and see your name second, how much of a motivation is that to keep on playing?
KARRIE WEBB: To be No. 1 you mean?
Q. Yes.
KARRIE WEBB: I don't know if it's necessarily motivation because as we continue, our purses continue to grow, I could work my tail off to become No. 1 and see it gone in a couple of years after I retire. So it's not something that I set my sights on. Obviously when you see that, I'm reminded of how great golf has been to me and I'm very fortunate for that, and it's always good to keep adding to it. That's definitely a goal.
Q. Karrie, when you think about what the Founders accomplished, what impresses you the most about what they did as athletes, the conditions were so different then than they are now?
KARRIE WEBB: Yeah. You know, I think their greatest accomplishment is when we saw them up there last night, the fact that they're still all friends. At the beginning, 13 women, not only did they compete against each other, but they had to call major penalties and rulings on themselves. They had to ‑‑ one was president, treasurer, secretary. You know, they would have been ‑‑ if we got 13 girls to do that here, I don't think we'd be speaking to each other by the end of the year. So you only have to sit in one of our players meetings every now and then to know that women to agree on one topic is kind of a challenge.
So I think their greatest accomplishment, besides the fact that where the LPGA is today, is that they still love getting together. They love talking about do you remember such and such and telling the stories. And I think that's their greatest accomplishment.
Q. The tour seems to have turned a very difficult corner for the last few years. The schedule's bounced back nicely this year, and must have been personally satisfying for you to have the LPGA returning to Australia. What was the reception like there?
KARRIE WEBB: Yeah, I was really excited. And obviously we played at Royal Melbourne. So it's obviously depending on whose opinion either the best or second best course in Australia and it's ranked Top 10 in the world. So I was excited as an Australian for the LPGA to be back in Australia, but I was also excited for the LPGA to play on such a quality golf course.
We don't ever sit at a press conference to talk about playing a course that's ranked in the Top 10 in the world. I won't even say very often. I don't think we've ever said that. So I think that was really exciting, and for the growth of women's golf in Australia it's a huge shot in the arm.
I think it'll be great for the young girls to see the big names over there and playing on quality golf courses, so I'm hoping the LPGA is down there for many years to come.
Q. This tournament is a little bit different this year playing for money. Can you talk about does it have a different feel and what that means to the players, playing for a full purse? And then talk about your charity money what it did last year for the foundation?
KARRIE WEBB: Right. I don't know for me if it has a different feel. I think I certainly appreciate ‑‑ and I know all the girls do ‑‑ appreciate the extra support that RR Donnelley contributed this year. I think it's fantastic of them to step up.
The only difference is that there isn't any negative questions being asked about such a great concept. So you know, I think it's all positive this year.
Q. Can you talk about the money that you gave to charity last year, and do you know where that went with the foundation, what it specifically did?
KARRIE WEBB: The 500,000 that went to ‑‑
Q. Christopher Reeves Foundation?
KARRIE WEBB: Yeah.
Q. You donated $200,000?
KARRIE WEBB: Yeah. 200. 100 I donated to Christopher Reeves Foundation and 100 went to Tsunami Japanese Relief Efforts. The 100,000 that went to the Christopher Reeves Foundation obviously goes to a charity that's near and dear to my heart. My coach, Kelvin Haller, in 1991 became a quadriplegic, so I've been involved with Christopher and Dana Reeves Foundation since 1998, and the 100,000 goes to research to find a cure for paralysis, but it also goes to ‑‑ Dana before she passed away set up a resource center for anyone recently paralyzed or family members of someone recently paralyzed. It's a resource center for them to go to and find out the best rehab centers, how to buy a wheelchair, stuff like that.
So for me it was an extra honor to be able to donate that money to a charity that I've been with for so long.
Q. How would you rate the skill level of the field here?
KARRIE WEBB: Compared to ‑‑
Q. Five years ago.
KARRIE WEBB: Oh, okay. Just the skill out on tour?
Q. Yes.
KARRIE WEBB: I think it's always hard. I was asked that question the other day ‑‑ to ‑‑ I don't think there's any statistical evidence to say we're better as a group five years down the track. I think the fields are deeper.
I was asked are the top players better now than the top players ten, 20, 30 years ago. I don't ever believe that ‑‑ every sport you talk about comparing people from different generations who don't ever play against each other, or under the same circumstances. And I just think it's impossible to do that. And I think it's unfair to whoever loses that debate.
Even from five years ago to now, golf technology has changed so much that, yes, we are definitely better, and the fields are definitely stronger. Why is that? Is it technology? I'm sure it's talent, and everyone's fitness. So I think it's just a very tough question to answer, but I think the fields are deeper, and I think that's why we see so many first‑time winners popping up or people that haven't won that are in contention every week. It's just that more people have a chance to win now.Topics: LPGA Founders Cup, Notes and Interviews, Tseng, Yani, Stanford, Angela, Webb, Karrie [+]

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Wood, Paola Silvia URN etd-05312009-004554 Document Title A three-month prospective study of risk factors for stress fractures sustained by soldiers during basic training Degree DPhil Department Biokinetics, Sport and Leisure Sciences Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof P E Kruger Supervisor Keywords
- extrinsic risk factors
- intrinsic risk factors
- stress fractures
- Basic
Date 2009-04-15 Availability unrestricted Abstract Stress fractures represent one of the most common and serious overuse injuries in the military environment.The aim of this prospective study was to determine the incidence of stress fractures during 12 weeks of Basic Training (BT) by comparing the results of the intrinsic risk indicators obtained from a group of participants who suffered stress fractures, with the rest of the original group (controls) who did not suffer from any stress fractures, and to assess any changes in physical markers whilst following a progressive, scientifically designed, Physical Training (PT) Programme during the BT. The intrinsic risk factors investigated included sex, age, race (measured via questionnaire), foot morphology (wet test), Q angle, leg length discrepancy, bone density (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA), physical fitness (standardized military fitness test, isokinetic upper and lower leg strength, handgrip strength), flexibility (ankle plantarflexion and dorsiflexion, hip internal and external rotation), anthropometry (skinfold method and DEXA), female menstrual disturbances and lifestyle behaviours including smoking, female contraception use and medical history of previous injury (questionnaire). The cohort (n=183), also refered to as the Experimental Group (EG), was measured at the beginning and at the end of the BT period. The standardized physical fitness test was also completed in the fifth week of training. The latter's results were compared to the results obtained by a Control Group (CG), who had undergone BT the year prior to this cohort.
The size of the cohort, the intrinsic risk factor profile and the control of certain extrinsic risk factors may have contributed to zero incidences of stress fractures found. Within the intrinsic risk factor profile, sex, age, race, foot morphology, Q angle, hip external rotation and bone density were normal whilst the measured leg discrepancy and limited ankle dorsiflexion appeared to not have a sufficient risk for stress fracture development. The small sample of the cohort that reported having menstrual irregularities, smoked and had a history of previous fractures, did not place this cohort at risk for stress fracture development. The cohort did, however have lower isotonic, isokinetic and isometric strengths than the other cohorts who reported a relatively high stress fracture incidence.
The BT period found statistically significant changes in bone density, flexibility, body composition, muscle strength and endurance. Female participants showed an increase in the T- and Z-scores of the left femur area, a deterioration in left ankle dorsiflexion and hip external rotation, whilst their plantarflexion increased. Their mesomorph component increased, and decreases in % body fat (BF) as well as in the ectomorph and endomorph component were also found. Male participants' plantarflexion and hip external rotation decreased whilst their dorsiflexion increased. Lean body mass and mesomorph component increased whilst %BF, ectomorph and endomorph component decreased.
The new cyclic-progressive PT programme controlled for risk of injury by allowing sufficient periods of recovery, by gradually increasing the duration, frequency, and intensity of training, by reducing repetitive weight-bearing activities and by including a variation of exercises. Running shoes, rather than combat boots, were also worn during PT. Marching on concrete was eliminated. Significant improvements were shown by both male and female participants in aerobic fitness and muscular endurance and muscular strength.
Future research should include a larger size cohort, who developed stress fractures utilising BT groups from different corps and units in the South African Military environment. Other potential extrinsic risk factors, such as surface and equipment, should also be investigated.

Oh yes, it's that time of year: Holiday party time. It's easy to complain about these moments of forced celebrations, but the holiday party may be one of the few things that I'm not jaded about. I like eggnog and layering clothes and being social and getting presents. Decorating, though, isn't my strong suit. But that's why I'm buddies with Bronson and Celerie, uptown design darlings who have collaborated on The Holiday Workshop, a one of a kind, residential retail experience at 19 East 75th Street. Holiday decorations include fully decorate bespoke holiday trees with Mongolian sheepskin tree skirts and thousands of hand painted lights (with proceeds benefiting East Harlem School), red lacquer wreathes, vintage table top items and glasses, engraved julep cups, handmade stationery, and more stuff that will make people feel fancy. Bronson will also be offering his popular Arrowhead Farms cocktail mixes and salad dressing. Celerie is retailing her furniture line from Henredon and the space is beautifully decorated with Celerie's pieces accented by Bronson's designs and curated tabletop items — it is a warm and enveloping space. Shoppers can purchase the entire "look" or the individual items. Here, I chatted with Bronson about the collection.
The holidays are coming. Tell me: Are you excited by the prospect of holiday parties, decor and merry making? Or is it all so daunting now?
I am always excited this time of year. Everything and everyone look their best and people are in the mood to party. Why should it be daunting? If you're worried about the holidays, you're either over-committed or you're under-staffed. Edit your schedule and prioritize. If you're giving a party, either prepare everything ahead of time, or staff up. Your guests are there to see you smile. Give them what they're there for, along with a stiff drink, and everything will be fine.
I like to think I'm decoration-ally challenged. What are some simple things that someone like me can do to spruce up their place for the holidays? (I used to have a two feet, pre-lit Christmas tree. But I lost it under my bed or my couch.)
Lighting. If you don't have time for a tree or simply cannot find it under the bed (try looking next to your box of summer speedos), invest in some Christmas lights. Better yet, get bistro lights. The bigger bulbs feel vintage and European at the same time. String the lights across your mantle, ceiling, entry, the mirror you use to take your selfies – wherever – to give an added warmth and glow to your space and your life.
Talk to me about the townhouse uptown: How did you find the space? What are some of the favorite things you have in the shop?
Celerie and I knew we wanted to set-up the holidays this year in a real home. So my dog, Cat, and I set out on foot to find a townhouse. The space is filled with vintage and antique finds and holiday decorations from Poland, Antwerp, Paris, Mexico City, Arkansas, and hundreds of yards of tartan from Scotland. My favorites are the vintage barware and decanters, the selection of complete holiday dinner table settings (one of which you can buy here on Moda Operandi) an original photograph of Winston Churchill, and the custom malachite tree skirt we fashioned for our Chinoiserie inspired Christmas tree. Of course the bespoke trees, sales of which benefit East Harlem School, are the biggest seller.
You started by providing a service: interiors and events, right? When did you transition into products, and was that an organic transition? What else do you have in the pipeline?
I have been decorating homes at Christmas for special clients and friends for nearly 10 years. Last year, I opened the shop during the holidays so that we could do this for more people. I'm committed to doing everything I can to motivate and encourage people to throw parties, to celebrate happy moments, to drink a little too much.
Allow me to help on that last one. Cheers! Speaking of, I'm excited about your holiday party this year. How long does it take to plan and execute your fete?
It varies. Sometimes all the ideas come out in a cascade, and I just have to hope I'm able to write them down. Other times, it takes me weeks or months. The Seven Swans a-Swimming party was a snap. Eight Maids a-Milking took a little more time. Ten Lords a-Leaping should've been easy, but it was the first year I hadn't done it at home, so I had to make a lot of changes to make it work at The Lion. I've not decided one thing about this year's party. But it'll come.
Much to my dismay, last year I got there just after the go go boy holiday elf dancers did their set. Biggest regret ever.
Can we please not use the term "go go boy" ever again? "Prancing elves," or even "dancing elves," are more accurate, not to mention less gutter-sounding.
Noted. I'll keep it out of the gutter. [Eds. note: Please see above picture of a prancing elf playing a bagpipe.] So, what have been some of your more festive party favors?
Well, my general feeling is that the guests are the favors. And this has been born out by the number of relationships that have begun (or ended) at my parties. We had the milkmaids who served tequila from prosthetic breasts two years ago. We also had a minotaur that year. And a miniature billy goat. The cheerleaders last year were inspired by the mash-up of Express Yourself and Born This Way that Madonna did in her MDNA show. I'm a big believer in the Jello shot too.
And, last question and I'm sure it's an annoying one: Favorite party ever? (As a guest and as an organizer?)
All the ones that I'm invited to.

Swiss Vote Betrays Enlightenment Ideals
By Juan Cole
This campaign poster was banned for being racist, but apparently the goal of the poster, now that is all right.
Swissinfo surveys the headlines in Switzerland Monday morning and finds that the press there universally condemned and expressed dismay at Sunday's vote. Editors expressed consternation at the inevitable tarnishing of Switzerland's image and worried about the consequences. Will there be boycotts? Sanctions? Appeals to the European Court of Human Rights?
I can anticipate right now arguments to excuse this outbreak of bigotry in the Alps that will be advanced by our own fringe Right, of Neoconservatives and those who think, without daring saying it, that "white culture" is superior to all other world civilizations and deserves to dominate or wipe the others out.
The first is that it is only natural that white, Christian Europeans should be afraid of being swamped by people adhering to an alien, non-European religion.
Switzerland is said to be 5 percent Muslim, and of course this proportion is a recent phenomenon there and so unsettling to some. But Islam is not new to Europe. Parts of what is now Spain were Muslim for 700 years, and much of the eastern stretches of what is now the European Union were ruled by Muslims for centuries and had significant Muslim populations. Cordoba and Sarajevo are not in Asia or Latin America. They are in Europe. And they are cities formed in the bosom of Muslim civilization.
The European city of Cordoba in the medieval period has been described thusly:
' For centuries, Cordoba used to be the jewel of Europe, which dazzled visitors from the North. Visitors marveled at what seemed to them an extraordinary general prosperity; one could travel for ten miles by the light of street lamps, and along an uninterrupted series of buildings. The city is said to have had then 200,000 houses, 600 mosques, and 900 public baths. Over the quiet Guadalquivir Arab engineers threw a great stone bridge of seventeen arches, each fifty spans in width. One of the earliest undertakings of Abd al-Rahman I was an aqueduct that brought to Cordova an abundance of fresh water for homes, gardens, fountains, and baths.'
So if the Swiss think that Islam is alien to Europe, then they are thinking of a rather small Europe, not the Europe that now actually exists. Minarets dotted Cordoba. The Arnaudia mosque in Banja Luca dates back to the 1400s; it was destroyed along with dozens of others by fanatics in the civil war that accompanied the break-up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s.
As for the likely comeback,that Muslims came to Europe from the 700s of the Common Era as conquerors, unlike Christianity, actually both were conquering state religions. It was the conversion of an emperor that gave a favored position to Christianity in Europe, which was a small minority on the continent at the time. And Charlemagne forcibly imposed Christianity on the German tribes up to the Elbe. In the cases both of European Christianity and European Islam, there were many willing converts among the ordinary folk, who thrilled to itinerant preachers or beautiful chanting.
Others will allege that Muslims do not grant freedom of religion to Christians in their midst. First of all, this allegation is not true if we look at the full range of the countries where the 1.5 billion Muslims live. Among the nearly 60 Muslim-majority states in the world, only one, Saudi Arabia, forbids the building of churches. Does Switzerland really want to be like Saudi Arabia?
Here is a Western Christian description of the situation of Christians in Syria:
'In Syria, as in all other Arab countries of the Middle East except Saudi Arabia, freedom of religion is guaranteed in law . . . We should like to point out too that in Syria and in several other countries of the region, Christian churches benefit from free water and electricity supplies, are exempt from several types of tax and can seek building permission for new churches (in Syria, land for these buildings are granted by the State) or repair existing ones.
It should be noted too that there are Christian members of Parliament and of government in Syria and other countries, sometimes in a fixed number (as in Lebanon and Jordan.)
Finally, we note that a new personal statute was promulgated on 18 June 2006 for the various Christian Churches found in Syria, which purposely and verbatim repeats most of the rules of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches promulgated by Pope John Paul II.
That is, in Muslim-majority Syria, the government actually grants land to Christians for the building of churches, along with free water and electricity. Christians have their own personal status legal code, straight from the Vatican. (It is because Christians have their own law in the Middle East, backed by the state, that Muslims in the West are puzzled as to why they cannot practice their personal status code.) Christians have freedom of religion, though there are sensitivities about attempts to convert others (as there are everywhere in the Middle East, including Israel). And Christians are represented in the legislature. With Switzerland's 5 percent Muslim population, how many Muslim members of parliament does it have?
It will also be alleged that in Egypt some clergymen gave fatwas or legal opinions that building churches is a sin, and it will be argued that Christians have been attacked by Muslims in Upper Egypt.
These arguments are fallacies. You cannot compare the behavior of some Muslim fanatics in rural Egypt to the laws and ideals of the Swiss Republic. We have to look at Egyptian law and policy.
The Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar Seminary, the foremost center of Sunni Muslim learning, 'added in statements carried by Egyptian newspaper Youm al-Saba'a that Muslims can make voluntary contributions to build churches, pointing out that the church is a house for "worshipping and tolerance." ' He condemned the fundamentalist Muslims for saying church-building is sinful. And Egypt has lots of churches, including new Presbyterian ones, following John Calvin who I believe lived in . . . Geneva. Aout 6 percent of the population is Christian.
The other problem with excusing Switzerland with reference to Muslims' own imperfect adherence to human rights ideals is that two wrongs don't make a right. The bigotted Right doesn't even have the moral insight of kindergartners if that is the sort of argument they advance. The International Declaration of Human Rights was crafted with the participation of Pakistan, a Muslim country; the global contemporary rights regime is imperfectly adhered to by all countries– it is a claim on the world's behavior, something we must all strive for. If the Swiss stepped back from it, they stepped back in absolute terms. It doesn't help us get to global human rights to say that is o.k. because others are also failing to live up to the Declaration.
The other Wahhabi state besides Saudi Arabia, Qatar, has allowed churches. But they are not allowed to have steeples or bells. This policy is a mirror image to that of the Swiss.
So Switzerland, after centuries of striving for civilization and enlightenment, has just about reached the same level of tolerance as that exhibited by a small Gulf Wahhabi country, the people of which were mostly Bedouins only a hundred years ago.
Muslim Scientists and Thinkers–Abu Waleed Ibn Rushd
September 18, 2008 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Syed Aslam
Abu Waleed Ibn Rushd, also known as Averroes in Europe, was born in 1128 A.D. in Cordoba, Andalusia (now Spain). He came from a prestigious family of lawyers and judges. Ibn Rushd received his education in Cordoba and lived a quiet life, devoting most of his time to pursuing knowledge. He studied his familial profession, specializing in law and medicine, making good use of the magnificent library of Cordoba with its half million books. After graduating, he practiced in al-Andalus as well as Marrakesh in North Africa. The Berber sultan offered him a judgeship in Seville, and with the patronage of the ruler, he soon moved to Cordoba as a judge–the position his father had once held. Here he passed a pleasant life for fifteen years and authored many books including a commentaries on Plato's Republic. In 1195CE sultan's son al-Mansur became the new ruler who banished Ibn Rushd from Cordoba and burned all his books on philosophy because of his criticism of the Berber rulers in his commentaries. However, as a result of intervention of leading scholars he was forgiven. He lived another two years and died in 1198 CE in Marrakesh, capital of the Berber kingdom. Three months later his body was brought back to his beloved Cordoba to fulfill his wish.
By education, Ibn Rushd was a physician and lawyer, but he proved to be the greatest philosopher and thinker of Europe in the middle ages. He also made remarkable contributions in the fields of medicine, music, astronomy, physics, jurisprudence and psychology.
He authored more than 100 books and treatises in his life time, in which twenty were in medicine and the rest on philosophy and other subjects. His well known treatise Kitab al-Kulyat fi al-Tibb, Compendium of Medical Knowledge, was written while he was working in Marrakesh. In it Ibn Rushd throws light on various aspects of medicine, including the diagnoses, cure and prevention of diseases. The treatise was divided into seven books arranging in it the works of the best physicians from the classical Greek and the Islamic world and contains several original observations of his own. Its Latin translation was known as Colliget and it became the standard text in the European universities for several centuries.
Given his family history, it was perhaps obvious that ibn Rushd would devote some his time to jurisprudence (fiqh). His grandfather was a major figure in the Maliki school of fiqh, and so was he. By his own account it took twenty years to complete his book Bidayat al Mujtahid wa al Muqtasid; Beginning of the Independent Jurist and End of the Mere Adherent of Precedent, an excellent work on fiqh. As the title shows, he favored ijtihad or independent thinking in the areas of fiqh without specific guidance from Qur`an and ahadith.
In astronomy ibn Rushd wrote a treatise on the motion of the sphere, Kitab fi-Harakat al-Falak. He also wrote a commentary on Almagest, the great book of mathematics and astronomy written in Alexandria Egypt in 200 CE. He rejected the Ptolemaic model of the universe and argued for a strictly concentric model of the universe. He wrote an excellent commentary on Aristotelian physics and was the first to to define and measure force. He defined force as the rate at which work is done–this is also the modern definition. He wrote a valuable commentary on Aristotle's treatise, De Anima, which deals with the nature of living things.
Ibn Rushd started his philosophical work while he was in Marrakesh, and he produced his first book; Kitab al-Jawami fil Falsafa; The Compendium of Philosophy. Here he touched on subjects like physics, earth, meteorology, logic and metaphysics, some of these topics would occupy him for the rest of his life, His most important work Tuhafut al-Tuhafut, Incoherence of Incoherence, was written in response to Ghazali's book The Incoherence of the Philosophers. Here he counterattacked al-Ghazali objections one by one in a conciliatory manner. He advocated the harmony between religion and philosophy and argued that they need each other to seek the same truth. Ibn Rush was criticized by some Muslim scholars for this book, which nevertheless had a profound influence on European thought and gave them a jump-start in reason and rationalism which ushered in the west's "Age of Enlightenment."
He wrote three commentaries on the works of Aristotle, the shortest, Jami, may be considered a summary of the subject. The intermediate was Talkhis and the longest was the Tafsir. These three commentaries would seem to correspond to different stages in the education of pupils; the short one was meant for beginners, the intermediate for students familiar with the subject, and finally the longest was for advanced studies. The longest commentary was, in fact, an original contribution as it was largely based on his analysis including interpretation of Qu'ranic concepts. These commentaries are considered as one of the greatest intellectual reservoir ever developed in philosophy.
After confronting conservative theologians, Ibn Rushd became a bit bold and tried to take on tougher opponents–the rulers and kings. Close to end of his life he choose to write a commentary on Plato's Republic, one of the great masterpieces of Greek thought. He could have explained all those wonderful ideas of this excellent work; further, he described the Andalusian rulers as decadent tyrants. Ibn Rushd's criticism of rulers and his political philosophy in the commentary got his book burned. He had advocated revolutionary ideas like public education, even distribution of wealth, and women's rights; it was a plea for social justice.
When the Latin translations of his work reached Europe in the 13th century, they were like arrows hitting a bull's eye. The European intelligentsia were hungry to look at the world in a new way, which Ibn Rushd provided in a big way with his commentaries and his philosophy. A new phenomena of Averrosim derived from his Latin name Averroes started to take hold among the learned people of Europe, especially the professors of newly opened universities. The Catholic church was horrified and saw the storm cloud gathering. The Pope formed a commission to look into this new phenomenon, and by 1231 CE Aristotelian philosophy, all the Ibn Rushd commentaries and his books on philosophy were banned through all of Christendom. But it was too late, the genie was out of the bottle. The sparks of this new flame drifted northward and eastward.
One of the staunchest Averroists, Pietro d'Abano, a professor of medicine and philosophy in an Italian university, defied the decrees of the church and brought Aristotle and Ibn Rushd into the University of Padua's curriculum in 1306 CE. He argued that experiments, observations and logic were new machines for finding truth. This use of machines invented by Greek and Muslim philosophers was too much for the Catholic church to take- the Inquisition was formed by the Church to combat Averrosim, and it condemned d'Abano on numerous counts. He died in 1315 CE before the Church could get him but that did not stop the Inquisition, they eventually ordered his dead body burned at the stake.
Ibn Rushd's philosophical work, which fascinated, inspired and influenced the West, were of little interest to the Muslim world, where he is remembered as a great physician. The Islamic rejection of Ibn Rushd as a thinker and philosopher is no doubt partly because of his criticism of religious orthodoxy.

The SCAN Foundation produces its own series of policy briefs, and also funds a variety of grantees to produce policy briefs on issues surrounding long-term care.
The 2nd State Scorecard on Long-Term Services and Supports shows California ranked 9th overall. While California ranks higher than most states, much work remains to be done to improve affordability, quality, and coordination of services within the state's system of care to ensure that older adults and people with disabilities can access needed services to support independence and quality of life. The Scorecard is the first step in initiating a conversation about system performance, areas for opportunity, and the importance of continued system transformation in Califor
The findings contained in this report demonstrate the inter-relationship between acute, postacute, and long-term services and support (LTSS) services for Medicare and Medicaid Enrollees (MMEs). LTSS includes home and community based services (HCBS) as well as care delivered as a part of an extended stay in a nursing facility (NF). This research examined the patterns of health care related events and expenditures that preceded and followed the initiation of LTSS as well as the pattern of LTSS use following a hospitalization.
As states move to managed care delivery systems for individuals with complex needs, it is important to engage medical, behavioral health, and home- and community-based providers as well as hospitals and nursing facilities in establishing new programs. Providers can play an essential role by sharing successes and challenges with states and educating patients about the managed care program. This technical assistance brief offers tips to help states effectively engage providers in managed care program design and implementation.
The demand for long-term care will substantially outpace the rate of growth in the U.S. economy over the next decade. An estimated 12 million Americans are currently in need of long-term services and supports (LTSS)—defined as institutional or home-based assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, or medication management—including both seniors and persons under age 65 living with physical or cognitive limitations. In the next two decades, the U.S. health care system will face a tidal wave of aging baby boomers.
Behavioral health disorders are among the most prevalent and disabling chronic conditions affecting Medicare-Medicaid beneficiaries. These individuals have complex needs that require closely coordinated services, but misalignments between Medicare and Medicaid often result in fragmented, poor quality care. This brief describes early efforts in four states—Arizona, California, Massachusetts, and Washington—to improve integration of behavioral health services for Medicare-Medicaid beneficiaries.
Following on previous reports describing the population who uses Medi-Cal-funded long-term services and supports (LTSS), the California Medicaid Research Institute has produced a report that describes key characteristics of the population using LTSS across each of the state's 58 counties. This report describes spending and service use patterns across the 58 counties. County-specific data files that accompany this report can be found by clicking here.
This policy brief from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research examines some of the challenges of communicating effectively with individuals in California who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medi-Cal, and who are set to enroll in the state's eight county managed care demonstration project, Cal MediConnect. The study documents how these older adults would like to receive information and recommends strategies that might smooth the transition.
The SCAN Foundation aims to identify models of care that bridge medical care and supportive service systems in an effort to meet people's needs, values, and preferences. Care coordination is a central component of this vision, which ultimately leads to more personcentered care.

Red Café & Fabolous Prepare Release of Bedrock Boyz Project
Hope it'll be piff.
Fabolous and Red Cafe are preparing to release a duet album under the moniker Bedrock Boyz, a project which Cafe hopes will drop this year.
Red Cafe remarked on his current relationship with the Desert Storm crew, but also revealed he and Fabolous are planning a joint album.
"Yeah man, [Desert Storm is] definitely still a part of my team. You know, I talk to Envy almost every day, I talk to [DJ] Clue at least a couple times a week, and they're still influential," Red Cafe told AllHipHop.com. "So to get their opinion and hear how they feel is really important to me. Fab, of course, that's like my partner and we working on a project right now called Bedrock Boyz and that should be coming in the same timeframe as my album and his album."
Bedrock Boyz may drop this year, Cafe revealed.
"We wanted it to come out this year, but we're just trying to see what makes the most sense. He's scheduling his album right now as well, so depending on time, we'll see when we can make it happen; but I want it to come in the fall," he explained. "We're in a good place with it too. We're about eight records in and were planning on doing about twelve total."
Red also revealed that his first single from his debut solo album will be released in the next two or three weeks and has features from Rick Ross and Ryan Leslie who also produced the song titled "Fly Together." Red Café as he was putting the finishing touches on his untitled album, which is to be released in February on Konvict/Bad Boy/Interscope.

New Trend Shows More Teens Are Getting Botox
"I've heard from colleagues that kids are coming in with their moms and saying, 'Can I have Botox, too? I feel like I need it,'" says Dr. Mark Jewell, a plastic surgeon and rep for the Physician's Coalition for Injectable Safety. "Botox is a blockbuster of a product, but should a teenager be getting it? I think the answer is no."
What's your take on the Botox debate? Should teens be getting these procedures? Is it smart or stupid to try to ward off signs of aging before the age of 18? Would you do it? Let us know in the comments below.

We always knew Michelle and Barack were living dolls but who knew they would become the next Barbie and Ken. Well, sort of..
While not exactly an accurate rendering of the President and First Lady, foot player wide shoulders on him, orthopedic shoes on her? We appreciate the effort. But we will not stand for the following- Michelle only comes with two dowdy outfits? I hope the makers are working on that.
