Named one of the Top Eight Teaching Facilities in the United States in the August 1999 edition of Golf for Women magazine, Conte's Palm-Aire Golf Academy continues to welcome students in search of the expertise needed to improve their entire golf game. Academy Director Stephen Conte heads up a team of instructors comprised of PGA and LPGA teaching professionals who possess more than 80 years of combined experience. During individual and group lessons at Palm-Aire Country Club, students learn through the academy's unified teaching method. This system ensures that instruction stays consistent from instructor to instructor and students will never have to study with a substitute teacher that forces them to putt with pool cues.
The verdant brainchild of course architect William Mitchell, Deerfield Country Club's 18-hole course plots a 4,120-yard track through lush groves of palm trees and impeccably maintained turf. An executive layout composed of nine par 3s and nine par 4s, the course offers diverse play in a time-efficient package. New greens and recently refurbished bunkers compete for golf balls' affection, their success determined by dowries offered by paternal flagsticks and sand-trap rakes. Golfers streamline straight-hitting swings and soft, greenside shots at the practice facilities, which include a driving range with practice bunkers and an immense putting green. Leather chairs await weary legs in the clubhouse, where golfers can slake their thirst or clean off sand wedges with a sudsy drink from the bar.
Course at a Glance: * Designed by William Mitchell * 18-hole, par-63 course * Length of 4,120 yards from the farthest tees * Three tee options
While everyone who's ever picked up a golf club pictures themselves stepping up to the first tee at Augusta National and smashing a gentle draw down the center of the fairway, the fact of the matter is, the vaunted course lies beyond the skill set of the vast majority of players. High-handicappers need courses that are aligned to their strengths, which is precisely where Cooper Colony Golf Center enters the picture. The 18-hole executive course weighs in at an accessible 3,820 yards with a par of 60, and eschews overwhelming distance, glasslike greens, and flaming fringes for holes that make the game fun for beginners. Those golfers who need help fixing swings can tap PGA pro Gary Braeseke for lessons, or head to the driving range for some solo time tweaking swing mechanics.
It isn?t often that a golfer gets to stare down the same approach over water or lay up in front of the same fairway stream as Tiger Woods, Sergio Garc?a, and Jesper Parnevik. But on Bonaventure Country Club?s East Course, one can do just that: the par 72 half of this 36-hole club hosts the Dixie Amateur tournament, in which all three of the PGA pros at one time competed.
From the waterfall crashing alongside the East Course?s third green to its presence on hole No. 5, water is never far from golfers ?crowding tee shots, threatening to swallow errant drives, and following them home in to-go cups from the onsite Sunset Grill.
East Course at a Glance:
18-hole, par 72 course
Total length of 7,064 yards from the back tees
Course rating of 74.2 from the back tees
Course slope of 132 from the back tees
Four sets of tees per hole
The 18 holes of the semi-private Bonaventure Country Club follow along the edge of the Everglades, a human challenge laid out in the middle of an untamed wonderland of mangroves, palms, and wildlife. Golfers traverse TifEagle Bermuda greens dotted with scenic challenges, including freshwater lakes and a par 3 hole situated next to an actual waterfall. On a given outing, they might run into director of golf and PGA-certified instructor Bob Mallek, who helps students improve their game through a combination of analysis and intuition. In addition to his duties at the course, Mallek is also active in the regional golf scene, serving as president of the southern chapter of the South Florida PGA.
In addition to a tranquil-yet-challenging course and expert instruction, Bonaventure Country Club also sports amenities for golfers and civilians alike. The club's recent renovations gave complete makeovers to the driving range and clubhouse, which frequently hosts events from weddings and quinceaneras to reunions to retreats. Visitors can also extend their stays at the adjacent Bonaventure Resort & Spa, which boasts 500 rooms and a four-diamond rating from AAA.
Legendary course architect Donald Ross began design on the first nine holes of Delray Beach Golf Club in 1923, and when the course officially opened for play in 1926, players embraced the layout's variety of shot scenarios. When the course closed during World War II, the grounds sat idle, forcing the course carts to join the Allied forces as lightweight tanks.
Delray Beach Club reopened in 1945 and, five years later, the city sculpted a back nine to create a modern, championship course that stretches 6,907 yards for a par of 72. The original challenges still exist today, beckoning golfers to rely on every club in their bag as they take on par 4s that range from 347 to 451 yards, where treating the hole like a par 5 is often the best strategy. A stream enters play on five holes, running parallel to both the par 5 first hole and the par 3 sixth, forcing players to fight the urge to chip onto a passing lily pad and let it carry the ball downstream.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 72 course * Total length of 6,907 yards from the back tees * Course rating of 72 from the back tees * Course slope of 123 from the back tees * Four sets of tees available * Scorecard

After a year-long post-professional residency program, many full weekends of classes, a very difficult exam, and months of waiting, Dr Lott, Dr Cress and Dr Devanna, are officially Board Certified Orthopedic Specialists. This is quite an accomplishment as only 320 Texas Physical Therapists and 7,655 therapists nationally have attained this recognition (as of 2012).
The APTA administered the first specialty exam in 1985 in an effort to promote a reliable and valid method of certification for therapists who have attained an advanced level of knowledge and skill in specialty areas. This promotes the highest possible level of care for individuals seeking physical therapy services in each specialty area.
We are so very proud of this accomplishment and thank Corsicana, Fairfield and surrounding communities for their support and encouragement.

My program has been designed for me (one Big Mama) so I started out slowly with cardio and weights training on a consistent basis with just wise eating choices. As I dropped some weight and strengthen my body, the program was changed to accommodate the ability to handle the next step. Knowing that I have someone who will be waiting for me at Lott's with a plan for my daily work out keeps me focused. My sister will call me or come get me if I don't show up!
Started at 215 lbs. in March and now nearly six months later, I am down to 184 lbs. Come join me and the rest of team at Lott's if you have decided that "This is it!"

2004 745Li: It drives fabulously, but that can't make up for its technology overload!
by callycarexpert: Jul 8, 2004
Recommended: No
Driving Characteristics, seat comfort, smooth ride, great handling
I-Drive,Voive activation doesn't work well, 'humpback' of a trunk, modern interior design, resale value
The Bottom Line:
Get rid of I-Drive,the modern interior design,the gear stalk,horrible resale value, and the cars ugly rear end, and then I might consider buying one!
I told my father not to do it. I told him he was making a mistake. I told him he would regret it. I was right, yet my father still disregarded my advice and went out to purchase a fully loaded 2004 BMW 745LI. My father paid over eighty thousand for his particular 745, and not even a year later it has lost tens of thousands of dollars in resale value. He still cant (and I cant) figure out how to use the car and its dreaded I-Drive. Finally he has realized his mistake, but he is reluctant to let go of the car so early after having it lose so much value. I have driven the car numerous times, and for long distances. Here are my impressions.
Exterior/ Interior: When the new 7-Series came out in January of 2002, I was so disappointed with the cars new styling, both inside and out. As the owner of the previous generation 7-Series, I was appreciative of that cars luxurious and traditional interior as well as its elegant, classic exterior design.
My least favorite part of the new 7-Series Exterior was the hump on the trunk. Like many others, I thought it looked completely out of place, and for me, it ruined the cars design. A couple years later, I have grown much more accustomed to the 745s styling. I still hate the trunk, but I think the front and side designs are very sporty and muscular.
My fathers model was one of the nicer 745s I have seen. It had a dark blue exterior with tan leather and it sat on beautiful 20-inch wheels.
If it werent for the interior, I would have few bones to pick with this car. I personally am not a fan of the more modern interior styling compared to my old seven. I think it doesnt look nearly as classic, and I dont think it will age well. Fortunately, the materials in the new 7 are still of high quality, and most areas are soft to the touch.
The seats in my dads seven were extremely comfortable. They were perforated, and felt much softer then the leather in my previous generation 750il. I was able to find a very comfortable driving position. The back seat was also incredibly spacious, though no more so then my previous generation 7. The back seats had a rear sunshade, as well as powered side window sunshades, which I felt was a nice if unnecessary feature.
The trunk on the 745 was also very big, and my dads feature a convenient automatic open and automatic close feature, which is really helpful when you are carrying heavy objects.
Driving Impressions/ Design Gripes: I fail to understand why BMW couldnt have put in a regular automatic transmission of the 745, like it has done on the new 5-Series. I hate the stalk gear shifter, and I think it is not nearly as easy to use as a regular automatic. I often drive with one hand gripping the gear shift, and on this car the only thing to grip is an I-Drive (which is my next and biggest source of aggravation)
Why oh why BMW did you have to invent this horrible and confusing device? I would like to consider myself reasonably tech-savvy, yet after two hours of combing through the manual, my father and I still had trouble figuring how to use the crazy I-drive. Things like programming the navigation were easy enough, because you typically do that while stationary. However changing the radio station, airflow distribution, or many of the other things I drive controls take lots of patience, and lots of time looking away from the road.
There are some people who claim they have become so comfortable with I-drive that they can maneuver it without looking away from the road. I think they are kidding themselves. The I-Drive system is so confusing and difficult to use. I would much rather have tons of buttons, because at least you know what each button will perform. My 750il has tons of buttons, but they are intuitive and easy to use. Almost a year later my father still cant use his I-drive.
Ok so if you cant use the I-drive, shouldnt you be able to use the satellite controls on the steering wheel to control things like the radio. Theoretically you should be, but in order to turn on the radio, you have to either use the I-drive, or the cars voice control and say something like radio on. This would all work very nicely if the voice command worked. The owners manual gives you a bunch of different phrases that the voice command will understand so it can perform various functions. The system is supposed to recognize all types of voices. Sometimes voice command worked, but the majority of the time it didnt. After about the twentieth time of hearing Please Repeat we gave up. The technology in this car is so aggravating.
Once you get to drive the big 7, you realize that this is still a BMW underneath all of the mess on the surface. The 325 horsepower 4.4L V-8 is very powerful, and launches the car as if it was much lighter. A, deep, somewhat removed rumble is emitted from the big eight when the car is floored. Power is obviously not an issue.
The 745 also handles very well. The steering is firm, and nicely weighted, yet seems much less communicative then my 750il. Road imperfections are barely transmitted through the wheel. The 745 drives much smaller then it is, and can still take corners as fast as cars that are much smaller then it is.
I was surprised by how smooth my dads 745Li rode, even with the big wheels. It rode even smoother and quieter then my previous generation 7-Series. Overall the 7-Series is still a great riding and driving car, yet I will never be able to get past its deficiencys in its interior. It is a nice car to drive, but I would never own one. My father plans on keeping it for a little while longer, and then trading it in for a Lexus, which is what he had before.

Office 2013 and PST files
I have been using Office 2003 and 2007 since it came out. I am finding a few quirky things as of late as the PST file grows in Outlook ( or as we call it Lookout!). SO, I am thinking of moving to Office 2013 Business Edition ( NOT Office 365). My question: has anyone here had good luck in moving 2003 PST Files to Outlook 2013? Are there any special tricks or got-cha's I need to consider ? There where issues moving this file to Outlook 2010 , so I did not even bother trying the 2010 version. Any insights on this or direct personal experiences ? thanks ! |

Import/pointing 2003 pst file to 2013 - Microsoft Community was not to drag the PST over, but to actually go into OUTlook and use the import command. That is, I am assuming 2013 OUtlook has this function. I could be wrong. So, maybe I take a chance and buy 2013 , and then begin the usual struggle. thank you again for taking the time to address the question. |

I am using Office 2013 Pro with Outlook of course, but I have not tried transferring any other versions pst files into it.
Rather than drag files across I prefer to copy & paste as there is less danger of losing the file. Yes Outlook 2013 does have an import command. If you do buy Office 2013, do read the Help file in Outlook on Importing pst files. |

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am.

Oh my God, Asha, I love that pumpkin cake! Thank you all for your wishing my happy birthday; you all made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Besides I'm giggeling about being called "sneaky". It's just that I like the sound of this word. And it reminds me of Gollum ("sneaky little hobbitses! Wicked, tricksy, false!"). And yes, I am weird, very weird.

Belated Birthday wishes to Sneaky potiron.
For those of you for whom my birthday report have sent you to check out Buckaroo Banzai, I expect to see you all at the next meeting of the Blue Blaze Irregulars.
Perfect Tommy will know if you're not there.
Looking for for something that Buckaroo Banzai might possibly wear I thought about:
Comme des Garcons X Artek Standard
For most of us in North America our introduction to Scandanavian design aesthetic has come through the Ikea brand. Artek was one of the originators of this aesthetic; of clean lines and rounded curves over light wood colors. Artek is a Finnish modern design firm created in 1935 and continues to be an innovator in these fields to the present day. Comme des Garcons have been using unusual pairings as jumping off points to design new fragrances. Witness the very successful pairings with magazine Monocle, hatmaker Stephen Jones, and style maven Daphne Guinness. In many ways those collaborations have been true to the style exhibited by the co-promoter. It made me very interested in a fragrance which would combine a designer known for clean light designs with Comme des Garcons edgy nature. The top reflects lightness as lemon comes first followed by light applications of fennel and ginger to contrast the citrus with a slight spicy herbal counterpoint. This is a light and fleeting beginning before a healthy application of cedar takes over. Cedar is one of the cleaner notes in perfumery and also one of the most defined. For a scent inspired by furniture design it seems a perfect choice even if it is a little pedestrian and familiar.There is supposed to be saffron and musk here, according to the note list, but I have not found either of them to be present at any point to my nose. The base is where the combination of both aesthetics really takes off and elevates Standard. First there is a smoky tea note which is paired with an herbal floral note that is defined as twinflower. It reminds me a little of lavender but less floral and more herbal. Then Standard finishes with this elegant metallic note. If you look at the Artek website you will see the use of a lot of tubular aluminum and this metal accord is the smell I associate with that. A raw accord that seems to also impact not only my nose but somewhere way back on my tongue. This note is not going to be for everyone and if you're looking for a comparison it is closest to the metallic note in Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol Silver Factory but it is much stronger in Standard. Comme des Garcons X Artek Standard has average longevity and below average sillage. This is another strong collaborative effort on the part of Comme des Garcons, and Standard does a good job of bringing out the design aesthetic of Artek but I think this is going to be a fragrance with sharply divided opinions. As for me, I like it as it appeals to my fondness for the odd in in fragrance.
Have a Tuneful Tuesday everyone

"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations."

Potiron, you cannot get away with an anonymous birthday here at basenotes! Cheers!
Today finds me wearing the last few golden droplets in my sample (thank you again SMM! ) of L'Artisan's newest offering ~ Havana Vanille! Bertrand is king!!!
Happy birthday from me, too, Sneaky Potiron - and as you can see from SMM's review, we LIKE wierd around here!
I'm in Angelique Encens today, from a sample. I started out liking the biggest, harshest, most in-your-face incenses, like Black Cashmere and Nu, but maybe it's the weather or maybe it's my appreciation of subtlety increasing as I mature (ahem, well, a bit maybe), but my thoughts on this one have changed. When I first tried it a year or so ago, I didnt' think it had enough incense in it. I thought it was wishy washy and 'lite'. But today I really get the complexity and light hand with which this was created. Yes, it's certainly an incense, but it's also a bit woody and a bit floral and on consideration the kind of thing I could see my hand reaching for on a daily basis.
Now I am on the School Run, I have to wear things that are not so outre and literally won't scare the horses. I am beginning to have a very different appreciation of daily perfumes and think that a bottle of Angelique Encens would be a wonderful thing to have on one's dresser. What a luxurious School Run perfume! (And of course I'm still saving up for my bottle of L'Air de Rien for non-school days.)
I wish you all love and light today.

Good morning all and a huge belated BIRTHDAY HUG to POTIRON Today is a rainy and grey day! The kind of weather that makes me wanna crawl back in bed with a good book.... Instead I'm having one of my Diva days when I dress up ever so slightly. No outfit is complete without a classy scent,so I decided to wear some Cuir de russie from my precious decant.I'm scared to admit how much I love this scent! Hope you all have a nice day!

Today is signature scent day so, I will apply Mitsouko.
On my Form 1040 my profession is listed as publication designer, but most days it feels more like I'm an emergency responder. Last Thursday client R said he'd be sending the next issue's materials "today or tomorrow." Would you believe that in the midst of typing the sentence above, his materials JUST started filing in the email? This is sooo typical. I get up in the morning not knowing whether I'm working or whether I should proceed to some personal project. Oh, well, at least I'm gainfully employed today, so I dasn't complain.
In honor of my publishing clients and their r~u~b~b~e~r calendars, I'm wearing Strange Invisible Perfume's Magazine Street (Magnolia, Vanilla, Patchouli, Vetiver, Botanical Musk), a souvenir from whisperingleaves' Summer Fun 3x3. A polite green opening is soon overtaken by a dusty, old bookstore-like smell with a hint of spice. The scent fades fairly quickly on me, and I've already made a second application.
Shine on, my brilliant beauties.
Wearing Allure.
A belated Happy Birthday to potiron!
In N'Aimez que Moi today. Take care, all.
Hello everyone, today I'm wearing Immortelle by L'Atelier Boheme. Enjoy your Tuesday!
All these pumpkins have me thinking Halloween!! Still got one of my own to carve, yet. Will have to brain storm and post pics later.
Soooo.... I don't know what to make of my Une Rose Chypree
Test #1 Flash of interesting opening, then Scrubber!!!
Test #2 Intriguing opening tapering more gracefully to the rest of its notes, a bit strange
Test #3 Lovely opening, fascinating transition to the heart, and scrumptious base!!
Its like someone's swapping notes when I'm not looking, because the first and third don't even smell like the same stuff!!! How could I have been so wrong?! Its beautiful... And so my quest continues, as I fall for frags with ever-increasing price tags.
Considering selling organs to pay for perfume....
... going too far? (C'mon, fess up!! You know you've fallen for frags you'd do worse for. )
Unscented until the mailman comes! Giddy with excitement!! LOVE getting stuff in the mail!! :bounce:
<3 ... I'm blind crazy in love... <3
Musc Bleu disappeared in no time, so I'm now wearing Cashmere Mist as SotD...long lasting AND soft.

In The Spirit of Da Vinci
Professor Lia Halloran and her Chapman students go old-school exploring at the modern nexus of art and science.
Professor Lia Halloran and her Chapman students go old-school exploring at the modern nexus of art and science.
That question inspires a new Chapman research project that's bringing the wide range of U.S. anxiety into sharper focus.
For starters, Justin Simien '05 wants his breakthrough feature film to make you laugh. But he also hopes to start a serious conversation.
If you have ever taken an aptitude test, been prodded by a physical therapist to exercise while still aching from surgery, looked skeptically at the government's justification for foreign involvement or been influenced by propaganda marketing, that was World War I talking, even after all these years.
It was 2008. Shelli Bautista studied the videotaped testimonies of several Holocaust survivors, looking for the one that would inspire her essay. Her essay, inspired by the survivor testimony of Mila Page, won first place in the high school prose category.
Over its 15 years, the Holocaust Art and Writing Contest has become an indispensable crossroads — a place where voices of the past inspire witnesses to the future. And a big tent fills with hope.
In today's evolving healthcare environment, a team approach is increasingly likely. Chapman University students are on the cutting edge of training for that new healthcare paradigm.
For some Chapman student achievers, real-world success is more than a concept; it's a reality. These students are carving out successful careers at the same time that they're meeting with professors and cramming for tests.
Arsen Jamkotchian '15 joins professor Grace Fong in her Bertea Hall office, where there's barely room for two grand pianos, but somehow they fit, side by side, allowing space for little else beyond aspiration.
Grace Fong jokes that she can trace her musical growth back to her pre-natal period. After all, she was in the womb as her mother played her college graduate recital. Fong, who has a doctorate in musical performance and directs the keyboard studies program at Chapman University, strikes a sustaining balance that resonates with students and audiences alike.

Jan. 2 (Bloomberg) -- The euro slipped to an 11-year low against the yen, before paring declines, on concern that the European debt crisis will hamper economic growth and destabilize financial markets as 2012 begins.
The single currency weakened against the dollar as a report confirmed European manufacturing shrank for a fifth straight month in December. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in a New Year's speech she expects turbulence this year and will do "everything" to save the euro and end the region's debt crisis. Sterling weakened against all major currencies as Prime Minister David Cameron pledges more action to deal with "excess" in pay in the finance industry.
"We remain negative about the euro," said Peter Rosenstreich, chief currency analyst at Swissquote Bank SA in Geneva. "Lack of growth in peripheral nations will be a major issue there this year, and I don't think what leaders have proposed will be enough to ring-fence the economic problem. Concern about debt sustainability in peripheral countries will escalate."
The euro fell to as low as 98.66 yen, the least since December 2000, before trading 0.3 percent lower at 99.40 yen at 4:26 p.m. London time. It weakened 0.3 percent to $1.2924.
The euro posted its first back-to-back annual declines against the dollar in a decade last year. It was also the worst performer among 10 developed-nation currencies in 2011, sliding 2.1 percent, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes.
Pound Declines
The pound fell 0.4 percent to $1.5480 and 0.3 percent to 119.056 yen. It weakened 0.2 percent to 83.50 pence per euro. Sterling gained 0.6 percent in the past month against the other nine developed-nation currencies gauged by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes, outperforming the euro, the Swiss franc, the Norwegian krone and the Swedish krona.
European leaders pledged to draft a stricter rulebook for controlling government spending for the more than two-year-old debt crisis. Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy will meet in Berlin on Jan. 9 to work out details.
A gauge of euro-region manufacturing was 46.9 in December versus 46.4 in the previous month, London-based Markit Economics said today. That's in line with an initial estimate published on Dec. 15. A reading below 50 indicates contraction. While the gauge for German manufacturing exceeded economist forecast, it remained below 50.
"Euro-zone manufacturing is clearly undergoing another recession," Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, said in today's report. "Despite the rate of decline easing slightly in December, production appears to have been collapsing across the single-currency area at a quarterly rate of approximately 1.5% in the final quarter of 2011."
ECB Deposits
The euro pared losses as the European Central Bank said today overnight deposits from financial institutions fell, after reaching an all-time high last week.
Euro-area banks parked 413.9 billion euros with the Frankfurt-based ECB, down from 445.7 billion euros the previous day. Deposits reached 452 billion euros on Dec. 27, the most since the euro's introduction in 1999, a sign banks were reluctant to lend as concern about counter-party risk deepened.
The ECB has reduced its benchmark rate to 1 percent, matching a record low, and flooded banks with cheap loans in an effort to keep credit flowing to the economy. It has resisted pressure to step up its bond purchases, putting the emphasis on governments to solve the debt crisis with fiscal reforms.
The euro will weaken to $1.30 and 99 yen by the end of the first quarter, according to analyst forecasts compiled by Bloomberg, as the debt crisis drags on.
Germany's government today declined to comment on a report that it may push creditors to accept bigger losses on Greek debt than previously agreed upon, saying only that talks on lowering Greece's debt level may end soon.
Germany is studying a proposal to write down 75 percent of Greek government bonds held by private creditors as part of a planned debt swap to ensure greater sustainability, Greek news website Euro2day.gr reported today, without citing anyone.

NASL Golden Era: A Conversation With Ron Newman, NASL Royalty
By Jason S Rufner
Ron Newman isn't simply a soccer coach. He is soccer.
Now 78, his voice conveys a vivaciousness that is as strong as any younger man's. His words come rushing out as he tries to communicate his love for the game that, like him, was born of English stock.
"Soccer is my life," he was quoted by a 1991 Los Angeles Times article. "I live and breathe it every minute of every hour of every day. It's all I talk about. I guess I'm probably quite a bore."
Hardly. As a coach in the Golden Era of the North American Soccer League, Ron Newman owns 185 wins...and at least that many memories.
"I'm very, very devoted to the NASL," Newman told me in a phone interview earlier this week, when reached at his home near Tampa, Fla. "It's a major league, in my opinion."
Ask Ron about his time in the NASL. Then just listen, because he'll do all the talking.
"There were so many moments," he began, then picked one. "Probably the thing I remember most is with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers. We were playing Toronto, and they had won the league the year before. They had some great players.
"Not five minutes in, and we get a yellow card, which soon turned into a red. So he got sent off. Everything we wanted not to do, we did. Then they scored. It got pretty tough. But we had a sell-out crowd, a terrific crowd.
"One of our guys who hardly ever scored a goal, he gets a header and it goes flying into the net, so we tie the game 1-1 right there. The crowd was going crazy, you know. Then late in the second half, one of our other players who, you know, usually doesn't know where the goal is, he shoots and we get another goal! It was impossible.
"We won the game! The crowd was going crazy. The players were all over each other. It was amazing. So we go into the dressing room, I let them sop it up a bit, but then I said, you know what we've just done? We beat the champions -- but you know who did it for us? It was those fans out there.
"I said, never again will you come back into this dressing room, win or loss, without thanking the fans. And I kept that going everwhere I played. Now they do it everywhere."
Newman has a wealth of stories to tell. From 1968 to 1999, he served as coach for seven teams in five leagues, from Fort Lauderdale to San Diego, winning 13 titles and 753 matches, outdoor and indoor combined. When not directing the professional game, Ron's spare time was spent creating thousands of teams and leagues for kids to learn the game, acting like something of a Johnny Appleseed for soccer in places like Atlanta and Dallas.
"You have to bring the kids and the fans and the media into the game," he pronounced. "That's so important. So important."
A naturalized American citizen since 1990, he's been a U.S. Soccer Hall of Famer for nearly as long -- an honor, he said, which makes him proud of what he's done. He's been given places of honor in the Dallas Walk of Fame, San Diego's Hall of Champions and Atlanta's Soccer Hall of Fame. He's been handed keys to the cities of Fort Lauderdale and San Diego.
And he wouldn't have moved to the States except for McDonald's and color television.
"I was playing in South Africa and one of my mates said, 'Come with me to America.' I said, 'They don't even play the game there!' He said, 'Yeah, but we're going to start a new league.'
"Well, my son Guy [who played and coached several seasons under Ron] wanted to go to a team over in England. So I told him, 'You know, they got hot dogs and hamburgers over there in America.' He said, 'Oh, okay...well, I don't know,' so I said, 'And they got color TV too.' England didn't have that yet.
"That did it. So we came."
He never left. First Atlanta, then Dallas and Los Angeles, then Fort Lauderdale and Miami and San Diego and Phoenix and Kansas City. "Incredible things" happened everywhere he went, from the ridiculous to the sublime. His singular goal was, and is, to see the game succeed in America.
To this day, Newman is regarded kindly American soccer fans as a coach with unrelenting sideline intensity and a flair for showmanship.
He became known for dramatic entrances onto the pitch, carried by motorcycles or accompanied by animals. Once, during a losing streak, he was delivered to the field by a hearse, jumping out to exclaim into a microphone, "We're not dead yet!"
He mandated that his players, win, lose or draw, take a postgame lap around the stands to thank fans for their support. He still thinks the media ought to be put in the stands so their reports reflect the true feel of the game.
Ever an innovator, Newman created new positions and novel strategies. He is a fount of opinions and ideas. He still has plenty he'd like to convince the modern NASL to enact, such as the 35-yard line and the tie-deciding shootout.
"I'll take the first shootout if they ever bring it back," Ron offered. "Even frommy wheelchair."
His infatuation with the Beautiful Game shines through whether it is played under the sun or under a roof. Now retired, he still keeps up with the local Tampa Bay Rowdies, still visits his old stomping grounds as an honored guest of the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, still receives adulation from soccer communities across the United States.
"It's great!" he intoned about the modern NASL, the reincarnation of the league he loved so much. "We still have Fort Lauderdale and Tampa Bay, and we used to play some really big matches against them. The more soccer there is, the more I'm pleased."
In his own backyard, he still gets his coaching fix with 17-year-old grandson Chris, a high school star. Though a professional player in England, South Africa and the U.S., Ron thinks his penchant for being a coach stems from his days as a drill sergeant in the Royal Army.
"I played lots of games for the British Army, five days a week. Being a drill sergeant, I learned to talk to people, to get them to do what I needed them to do."
After this writer was treated to a fascinating conversation with him, it's obvious the legendary coach has not forgotten how to talk. Especially if the subject is soccer.

Find out why the sugar starch combo is the one most likely to make you gain weight
In the past 40 years, as we have become more overweight and diabetic, we have been consuming less old-fashioned cane sugar and more high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Is there anything about this sweetener that could be contributing to these problems?
Actually, HFCS contains the same sugars that are in cane sugar: glucose and fructose. The only difference is that cane sugar is 50 percent fructose and HFCS is 55 percent fructose. There really isn't much difference, but even if there were, there's nothing unnatural about fructose. It's the main sugar in fruit. In fact, your body turns all sugar to fructose before metabolizing it.
The problem is mainly an economic one: High-fructose corn syrup is much cheaper than cane sugar. It slashes the cost of manufacturing sweets, which makes them much cheaper for consumers. This is especially true of soda. Now kids can afford to buy pop in 32-ounce Big Gulp containers instead of 7-ounce bottles, which were typical in the 1950s and '60s. Drinking so much soda in one sitting would have been inconceivable in the past.
Sodas are now the largest single source of calories for children and teenagers. They account for most of the increased sweetener consumption that has occurred in the past 40 years and are a major contributor to America's epidemic of childhood obesity.

Increased use of computers to create predictive models of human disease is likely following a workshop organised by the European Science Foundation (ESF), which urged for a collaborative effort between specialists in the field. Human disease research produces an enormous amount of data from different sources such as animal models, high throughput genetic screening of human tissue, and in vitro laboratory experiments. This data operates at different levels and scales including genes, molecules, cells, tissues and whole organs, embodying a huge amount of potentially valuable insight that current computer modelling approaches often fail to exploit properly.
However, significant advances in the modelling of a few specific diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), have been made. A major aim of the ESF workshop was thus to generalise such work and create a more coherent body of expertise across the whole field of computational disease analysis, according to Albert Compte, co-convenor of the ESF workshop, from the Computational and physiological bases of cortical networks laboratory at the Institut d'Investigacions Biomdiques August Pi Sunyer (IDIBAPS) in Barcelona. "A workshop like this one was useful in seeing how advances in other research fields can be used more generally for disease modelling," said Compte. "So far, novel modelling approaches have been confined to a specific disease or a particular level of description".
A model might be confined just to the molecular level or the cellular level for example. The ESF workshop highlighted the benefits that could be obtained from integrating data from different levels. This can provide more detailed and flexible models, with greater power to identify causes of diseases and predict possible cures in future.
However, one potential problem when building sophisticated disease models operating at different levels is that they can become too complex, with a lack of sufficient data for any
