Tiger is leader of the pack
It is more than a week later, and we are still wondering how he did it. How he won a tournament in which he sprayed his drives all over the Middle East. How he won a tournament in which he turned a final-round 75 into a 69 and a playoff victory over Ernie Els.
Nobody does it like Tiger Woods, which leads us to this week's Nissan Open, a tournament he has never won.
Woods enters 2-for-2 on the year, with playoff victories at the Buick Invitational and Dubai Desert Classic, despite some serious flaws. With Woods, we are always talking about something.
Whether it is dominating the way he did several years ago or fighting to stay among the elite (as was the case two years ago) or emerging from a pack of elite players to take over again (as he did last year), Woods is part of the discussion.
Woods is again firmly in control, even if his game does not always suggest that to be the case.
Yet it wasn't all that long ago we were talking about Woods and a foursome of players who were willing and able to take him on.
At this time last year, Vijay Singh was the No. 1 player in the world and had won 10 times on the PGA Tour since the beginning of the 2004 season.
Els had moved to No. 3 in the world heading into The Masters and had two victories on the European Tour and three top-10s on the PGA Tour.
Phil Mickelson was ranked fourth, with two early-season victories and a runner-up finish to Woods at Doral.
And although Retief Goosen had not won by this point last year, he was in the mix and would go on to win the International and two events on the European Tour. It wasn't just Tiger; it was the Big Five.
All but Woods had been a factor in the majors in 2004, which set up an interesting year.
"I live for those moments," Woods said at the time. "That's exactly why you practice, to be in that position and try to handle the situation. That's what you dream about as kids, going against the best.
"It doesn't happen very often because of the nature of our sport, our travel schedules and the fact that you can't always play well each and every week. It's very rare that we separate ourselves and focus on each other in the final group. That doesn't happen very often. So when you do have that opportunity, you'd like to take advantage of it."
Woods did -- in a big way.
He won The Masters and the British Open. He finished second at the U.S. Open to Michael Campbell and was tied for fourth at the PGA Championship, two strokes behind Mickelson. He won six times on the PGA Tour.
And he has started off strong again this year.
Remember when Woods was the only thing going in golf? When everybody seemingly stumbled in his shadow?
From the 1999 PGA Championship through the 2002 U.S. Open, Woods won seven major championships. He also won 22 PGA Tour events in that period.
Then he seemed somewhat mortal. Although he won eight times between 2002 and 2004, he didn't win any majors. And Woods had just a single PGA Tour victory in '04 as Singh emerged as the top player.
Woods showed he was back with a couple of overseas victories, which led to a strong 2005. Singh, Els, Mickelson and Goosen were all on top of their games.
Now, only Woods has a victory in 2006.
It will be another week, at the Match Play Championship, before they are all together in the same field again, but the state of golf has returned to where it once was. Where it goes is still to be determined.
Annika Sorenstam, who will not play this week, is still the unquestioned top player in the game, with plenty of distance between her and the rest of the competitors. But a bunch of young upstarts, led by Paula Creamer, aren't backing down. Creamer is just 19 and is coming off a Rookie of the Year season that saw her win twice. She will be joined by 17-year-old rookie Morgan Pressel, who finished tied for second at the U.S. Women's Open. And there is Cristie Kerr, who is finally coming into her own and is still not even in her prime. And, of course, there is Michelle Wie, who -- as a nonmember -- may play just six LPGA events, plus the majors for which she is eligible. Can Hall of Famer Karrie Webb, just 31, come back to challenge Sorenstam again? What about Se Ri Pak, who is seemingly burned out? Or Grace Park, who has the ability to win? There are so many questions, which should make for an interesting year in women's golf. |
Got a question about the PGA Tour? Ask ESPN.com golf writer Bob Harig, who will answer your inquiries in his column each week.
Q. Who is the best player to have won only one career major? A. This probably depends on the time frame. If we are talking about active players, Davis Love III would be a good pick. He has 18 PGA Tour victories, including one major championship. No active player has more wins with so few majors. If we're talking all-time, Lanny Wadkins, with 21 wins and a single major (1977 PGA Championship), qualifies. So does Tom Kite, with 19 wins and a single major (1992 U.S. Open).
Q. Are PGA Tour professionals required to play in the pro-am during the week of a tournament? A. Not all of them. There is a ranking system that determines the pro-am participants, and it goes off the prior year's money list. Hence, all of the top players are required to participate. If they don't, they can be disqualified from the tournament.
Q. Is Tiger Woods the only player to have won on the same golf course in the same year for two different tournaments (Pebble Beach Pro-Am and U.S. Open in 2000)? A. Although the PGA Tour does not keep a record of such feats, there are at least two notable examples other than Woods. Jack Nicklaus did the same thing at Pebble Beach in 1972, winning the Pebble tournament and the U.S. Open. And in 1948, Ben Hogan won the Los Angeles Open and the U.S. Open at Riviera. |

Tulum is one of the few Mayan cities known to have been inhabited when the conquistadores arrived in 1518. In the 16th century it was a trade center, a safe harbor for trade goods from rival Mayan factions who considered the city neutral territory. The city reached its height when its merchants, made wealthy through trading, for the first time outranked Maya priests in authority and power. But when the Spaniards arrived, they forbade the Maya traders to sail the seas,
and commerce among the Maya died.
Tulum has long held special significance for the Maya as a symbol of resistance and independence. A key city in the League of Mayapán (AD 987–1194), it was never conquered by the Spaniards, although it was abandoned by the Maya about 75 years after the conquest of the rest of Mexico. For 300 years thereafter it symbolized the defiance of an otherwise subjugated people, and it was one of the last outposts of the Maya during their insurrection against Mexican rule in the War of the Castes, which began in 1846. Uprisings continued intermittently until 1935, when the Maya ceded Tulum to the Mexican government.
At the entrance to the ruins you can hire a guide for $25, but keep in mind that some of their information is more entertainment than historical accuracy. (Disregard that stuff about virgin sacrifices.) Although you can see the ruins thoroughly in two hours, you might want to allow extra time for a swim or a stroll on the beach.
The first significant structure is the two-story Templo de los Frescos, to the left of the entryway. The temple's vault roof and corbel arch are examples of classic Mayan architecture. Faint traces of blue-green frescoes outlined in black on the inner and outer walls depict the three worlds of the Maya and their major deities, and are decorated with stellar and serpentine patterns, rosettes, and ears of maize and other offerings to the gods. One scene portrays the rain god seated on a four-legged animal—probably a reference to the Spaniards on their horses. Unfortunately, the frescos are difficult to see from the path to which visitors are restricted.
The largest and most-photographed structure, the Castillo (Castle), looms at the edge of a 40-foot limestone cliff just past the Temple of the Frescoes. Atop it, at the end of a broad stairway, is a temple with stucco ornamentation on the outside and traces of fine frescoes inside the two chambers. (The stairway has been roped off, so the top temple is inaccessible.) The front wall of the Castillo has faint carvings of the Descending God and columns depicting the plumed serpent god, Kukulcán, who was introduced to the Maya by the Toltecs. To the left of the Castillo, facing the sea, is the Templo del Díos Descendente —so called for the carving over the doorway of a winged god plummeting to earth.
A few small altars sit atop a hill at the north side of the cove, with a good view of the Castillo and the sea. To avoid the longest lines, be sure to arrive before 11 am.

A second rate site, no pyramid, remarkable structure or interesting Maya artifact. The ruins were disappointing compared to those I saw elsewhere in Mexico. You can't see the ruins which have been closed to tourists. If you enjoy cheated by the admission ticket booth clerk who doesn't return change go here. The place is overcrowded and the staff unpleasent

Tulum is 2 hour drive from Cancun & is worth exploring. The view is great. After doing the exploring , jump into the beach and have a great time.

The ruins at Tulum are a "don't miss" experience if you are anywhere in the area. We were staying at the Sunscape Tulum which is about 5 km away and walked it. First suggestion, don't walk, it's hot! The ruins are the only Mayan ruins overlooking the ocean and they are gorgeous! Tulum is not big, but it's well worth a visit. Some suggestions. Take water, a camera, an umbrella (for sun or rain), comfortable shoes, and a bathing suit. It opens
at 7 AM so if you are there early, you will beat the crowds. Entrance fee is 38 Pesos per person and a 30 Peso fee if you have a movie camera (still cameras are free). If you are in Playa del Carmen you can get a collectivo to the ruins for 20 pesos per person each way. This is an inexpensive and great way to travel.

Visiting the Tulum Ruins was great! Swimming was rough with the waves being so high.Otherthan that, great! Shopping at the markets outside the entrance was very good. I notice alot of Mexicans don't barter down much. It was annoying.The selection in one place was very good.

Don't sleep in on the day you plan to visit Tulum. We had been there 20 years ago but on this trip we didn't get to the ruins until 11 a.m. and it was packed with folks, which not only lessened the mystical impact but also made it hard to take pictures!

To see ruins overlooking the Caribbean Sea, visit Tulum for a view you won't soon forget! This was definitely one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, and I recommend it to everyone who is interested in a bit of history and plenty of gorgeous scenery. All of my pictures turned out like postcards, and I can't help looking back through them on cold days when I miss Mexico! Also, take the time to swim in the sea beneath the ruins. There is a
great little beach at the site, and the swimming is fabulous, especially when you look up to see ancient Mayan structures. The only downfall of the visit were the crowds at the ruins, but if you can ignore that, the experience will more than make up for it!

under the weather
Ailing, ill; also, suffering from a hangover. For example, She said she was under the weather and couldn't make it to the meeting. This expression presumably alludes to the influence of the weather on one's health. [Early 1800s] The same term is sometimes used as a euphemism for being drunk, as in After four drinks, Ellen was a bit under the weather.

Manti Te'o Press Conference at NFL Scouting Combine
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o met with national media at the NFL Scouting Combine, his first large-scale interview since it was revealed his remarkable story about a dying girlfriend proved to be an elaborate hoax. The 22-year-old Heisman Trophy finalist has maintained he knew nothing about the online ruse that spawned countless jokes, popularized the term "catfishing" and potentially jeopardized his draft stock.

Pence makes pitch for alternative to federal health care reform plan
By Christin Nance Lazerus firstname.lastname@example.com May 15, 2014 11:08PM
Gov. Mike Pence unveils the state's new health program that he says would cover 350,000 residents if approved by the federal government, Thursday, May 15, 2014, in Indianapolis. Pence's "HIP 2.0" is an altered version of the state's Healthy Indiana Plan, which currently provides health savings accounts to about 40,000 people. Indiana has been seeking federal approval to use the program, which was established in 2008 under former Gov. Mitch Daniels, as its vehicle to cover more uninsured residents.

Updated: June 17, 2014 2:01PM
Gov. Mike Pence announced a proposal Thursday that would help almost 400,000 low-income Indiana residents gain health coverage through the Healthy Indiana Plan in 2015, but first it must pass federal muster.
Even though the governor is an outspoken critic of both Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, Pence's administration has been in talks with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for more than a year due to the large number of uninsured in the state and the prospect of leaving $17.3 billion in federal funds on the table over the next decade.
"Medicaid is not a program we need to expand. It is a program we need to change," Pence said.
Pence wants to create a three-tier "HIP 2.0" to replace the state's current Medicaid program (excluding the disabled) and expand eligibility to Indiana residents making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or approximately $16,105 for an individual or $32,913 for a family of four.
HIP Plus would provide medical, dental and vision coverage, and enrollees would contribute from $3 to $25 monthly, depending on their income, to a health savings account. HIP Basic would provide medical coverage only and co-payments would be required.
A third tier — HIP Link — would offer insurance premium support for people to purchase coverage through their employers. It wouldn't take effect until 2016.
Though "the devil is in the details," state Rep. Charlie Brown, D-Gary, credited the governor for his proposal.
"I applaud the governor for at least taking the step, so all those eligible will be able to gain coverage," Brown said.
HIP, which was rolled out in 2008, currently provides coverage to about 42,000 Indiana residents who pay for the first $1,100 of their care via health savings accounts. Those contributions have been a key disagreement in negotiations between the state and the federal government.
In case the proposal doesn't gain approval, the state also will submit a waiver to renew the current HIP program as a contingency plan.
Pence traveled to Fort Wayne on Thursday afternoon to discuss "HIP 2.0," but Brown, who wrote the original HIP legislation, asked why Pence didn't make a stop in Northwest Indiana as well.
"The most inquiring question of all, and one I raised with his staff, was what about Northwest Indiana, where we'll have a sizable number of people eligible?" Brown said. "It really bothers me we don't get respect from the governor."
In addition to federal funds, the program would be paid for with cigarette tax revenue and a Hospital Assessment Fee program.
The Indiana Hospital Association is supportive of the plan, but safety net hospitals, such as Methodist Hospitals, which reported providing $57 million in charity care in 2013, are concerned about the impact of the fee.
"It is critical that the unique role of safety net hospitals is recognized in the details of the plan, such as exempting safety net hospitals from any hospital assessment fees that are associated with the plan or protecting them from further reduction of net reimbursement," Matt Doyle, Methodist Hospitals' vice president and chief financial officer said in a statement.
The state will submit its waiver, which covers a five-year period, by June 30 to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. CMS spokeswoman Emma Sandoe said her agency is "encouraged by Indiana and Governor Pence's commitment to helping cover more of the state's uninsured population through the Healthy Indiana program and look forward to seeing his proposal."
Public comment will be sought over the next 30 days. Two formal public hearings will be conducted May 28 and 29 in Indianapolis. They can be attended in person, by phone or webcast. For more information, visit hip.in.gov.

Logistics earned $82 million pretax in the second quarter of 2012 versus $54 million in the second quarter of 2011. The increase in earnings was primarily due to expanded crude oil volumes and margins resulting from market related opportunities in West Texas and contributions from acquisitions completed during 2011. Higher crude oil pipeline fees and earnings attributable to refined product acquisition and marketing activities also contributed to the improved results.
Retail Marketing
Retail Marketing had pretax income of $73 million in the current quarter versus $69 million in the second quarter of 2011. Higher retail gasoline and diesel margins were partially offset by lower gasoline volumes. Refining and Supply Refining and Supply had pretax income of $87 million in the current quarter versus a $44 million loss in the second quarter of 2011. The improvement in results was largely due to higher realized margins, lower expenses attributable to the idling of the Marcus Hook refinery in December 2011 and lower depreciation expense resulting from significant asset write-downs during the second half of 2011. These positive factors were partially offset by lower production volumes. Average crude throughputs were down 34 percent versus the second quarter of 2011 as a result of the idling of the Marcus Hook refinery. Other Corporate administrative expenses were $19 million pretax in the current quarter versus $18 million in the second quarter of 2011. Higher accruals for incentive compensation were largely offset by lower staffing costs. Net financing expenses and other were $26 million pretax in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $19 million in the second quarter of 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to higher interest expense associated with borrowings of Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. and the absence of interest income related to notes receivable balances resulting from the sale of the Toledo refinery.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

There are several hidden architectural gems around the world and the Villa Kishti by Frank Alfred Hamilton and Cecconi Simone Inc. is no exception thanks to the exquisite detailing and refined details highlighted.
Located in nguilla, British West Indies, the Villa is boldly designed with nature in mind; each of the various spaces within lead organically to the outdoors and offer spectacular views of the sea. The multi-level infinity pool is definitively curved to engulf the various outdoor patio spaces to enhance what has to be a truly ethereal escape.
A seaside escape the likes of Villa Kishti by Frank Alfred Hamilton and Cecconi Simone Inc. is something not everyone will experience in their lifetime, but that doesn't mean the fine detailing and attention to several architecture styles can't be admired from afar.

Happy Sunday to all! Today, I am making a tag with inspiration from the special guest designer Virginia Lu over at the challenge Tag You're It. There are several tags which she has shared with us and one of them is by using colours block.
First, I cut out the tag and die cut the border by using spellbinder A2 Scalloped Border Two. I decided to use watercolour on my background as her colours block inspiration. The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti which is heat embossed and added some sequins onto the tag.
Have you are enjoying and weekend!

I would love to hear any advice, tips or anything else that may be required to start this business. If there is an organization for Foot Care Nurses I would love that info as well. Thanks, Dawn -
0Sep 12, '12 by yrmajesty3Hello Dawnma,
Too much info to share in one short response.
I am happy to have a chat with you about what we did and are still working on. It is definitely a work in progress. If you haven't already done so, peruse the entirety of past Allnurses foot care threads. They go way back. I found lots of interesting and useful info.
About a national organization...there's been lots of talk about it by some of us but it just hasn't happened yet. Start-ups always require a lot of time (something nurses tend to be short of).
I have personally cold-called foot care nurses I've researched on-line for some networking. You won't find a more generous and helpful group of nurses anywhere....without exception! All have willingly shared practice and business experiences. One day, I hope that this informal network might grow up to be a full fledged association.
About the exam...Make sure you get the Salon Professionals Guide to Foot Care by Godfrey Mix, DPM. It was packed with info that popped up on the exam. Also be sure to check out
Dr. Overstreet's web site <raniermeded.com>. She generously offers tons of free info and video clips. I used these to prepare along with a review of Emory's material. BTW, aren't those Emory instructors wonderful! I really enjoyed that course.
Good LuckLast edit by sirI on Sep 15, '12 : Reason: TOS link -

2Nov 1, '12 by footqueenOk, an update on my business. I opened a solo practice clinic in February in my small town (about 7,000). Starting with zero clients was slow. I advertised in the local paper with a discount coupon. This did bring in some business but slowly (aka- was still in the red). The local podiatrist sees me as a threat Now it's been 9 months. I have had 72 clients and I drive up to an hr away to do clinics. What I realized is that my clinic in my small town will probably close. It's just not worth the expense (sometimes I go in for 1 client/day), although my clients really rely on me (such a difficult call). I also do home visits, but they are more expensive, and therefore really only appropriate for those who are truly homebound. When I go to the bigger towns (Sr. centers, ALFs), I get a lot more business and can easily make $200/day. I am thinking of opening a new clinic in a nearby larger town, where I am sure after the initial slow start, business will really pick up. My experience is that the larger the city, the better you'll do.
I've learned a lot having my own business. It is very expensive (equipment, leases, licenses, insurance, advertising, taxes) and takes a long time to grow. However, I am hopefull that it will soon bring in enough $$ that I can leave my "real" (aka reliable source of income) job Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Good luck to everyone. I can honestly say that almost every client that has come to see me has had only wonderful things to say about my services. Not tooting my own horn here, but simply stressing how important this work is. Most clients become repeat clients.yrmajesty3 and Race Mom like this. -
