Have you ever freaked out when using Microsoft Office 2007/2010/2013? I know I did because Microsoft has killed the classic Office menu and toolbars which we were accustomed to for years, and come up with ribbon style! The result of this change? The learning curve is so steep that people get really frustrated. Well, if the ribbon is still bothering you, UBit has got a solution for you in the form of UBitMenu.
All you have to do is close all open Office windows, and download and install UBitMenu. UBitMenu is nothing but an add-on for Office, and works with Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint 2007/2010/2013. With it, you get the classic Office menu and toolbars just like the picture below:
The only problem with UBitMenu is you don't see the keyboard shortcuts associated with the buttons that are added back. But don't worry, if you know those shortcuts, they will still work. Do take note, however, the shortcuts will be in accordance with the version of Office you are using. For example, Microsoft has decided to change some hotkeys; for instance, Ctrl+Shift+C was the hotkey for Format Painter but in MS Word 2010, it does not work.

Gizmo rated the FREE Kingsoft suite the highest.
It did the conversion, but the program is horrible (and did not display an excel file that I had properly).
The Ashampoo one looks great, displayed the file correctly, and opened very quickly.
They have written back to me, and given me a link to share with dotTech members –
Only $10 if you untick the wee extras on the invoice.
I recommend it. -
Rob (Down Under)
I installed the free Kingsoft Office, and it can open the xlsx and save it as xls
That went ok, but on a general note, I just did not like the rest of Kingsoft (Looks and layout etc.)
I purchased the Ashampoo Office 2012, and that was much better. Loaded faster, looked proper (the display of my sample Excel file).
It also, allowed me to load an xlsx, and save it as xls.
That was $10 that I do not regret spending.
This is it (normal cost $60, special for members $10) –

[@Rob (Down Under)] You can download and install a compatibility pack directly from the MS website, to enable your Office 2003 to "open, edit, and save documents, workbooks, and presentations that were created in the newer versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint". It's become a necessity for me, as all my students email me the blasted docx and xlsx files all the time :
MS mention that you should first update your Office 2003 with the latest MS updates, although I don't know if that's really necessary. You could of course download and install the Service Pack 3 for Office 2003 :
[@Rob (Down Under)] I don't know if Ashampoo's Office 2012 can open docx or not, nor if it can save to doc.
However, if you check their email to you again, you will see that they have a 30 day free trial. Why not download it, give it a try and see if it can.
BTW, if people are sending you docx files etc., contact them and ask them to resend as doc files. It is easy enough to do. When one clicks on Save As, go down to where it says Save as Type, click on the down arrow and you have a choice of what file type you want to save as. I'm surprised at how many people don't realize they can do this.
I also use MS Office for compatibility reasons. I also understand the frustration re MS forcing upon us changes that they decide we should use. So I also am not a MS lover.
However, having said that I'm not a
Ribbon hater. Before I purchased Office 2007 I had read about all the hate for the ribbon. But once I gave it a try I now prefer it. Hate me if you want, but frankly I find it easier to use than the old drop down menus.I think it is more of an issue of change. Most people don't like things changed on them. I agree when changes are for the worst. IMO the Ribbon is a good change. One of the few things IMO that MS did right.
[@Mukhi] Hi Mukhi, no special procedures necessary — if you have an old Office2003Pro installation cd ready, with the serial nr, and you want to install it on your Win7Home64bit machine, just install it the usual way — Win 7 picks up automatically that it's a 32bit program, and installs it in a folder on your system drive called c:/Program Files (x86) — as opposed to c:/Program Files where all 64 bit software is automatically installed.
Since the majority of software is written to be backwards compatible, this is where most of your software will be installed anyway — usually the more serious types of software like AV etc gives you the 64bit option, the rest don't seem to care and just code in 32 bit, as they've been doing for decades.
So you don't need to change any settings, like manually adjusting anything to run in 'XP Mode' etc, it just installs (Win 7 probably does install it to run in 'XP mode', but if it does, it's done transparently in the background).
You can also install an Office 2003 Service Pack, and a compatibility pack that allows Office 2003 to read docx & xlsx files etc.
The MODI was a virtual printer driver, much like we would install something like doPDF etc to virtually print a PDF file, you could print a virtual file with an extention called .mdi.
You could also have used, instead of your scanner's software, a MS Office 2003 Tools piece of software called "MS Office 2003 Document Scanning" which scanned and saved the file as a .mdi file. This was in fact a pretty neat piece of software by itself, which allowed you to also crop the image it pre-viewed for you before scanning it.
The beauty of this thing was that you could load it (the .mdi file) into another MS Office 2003 Tools piece of software called "MS Office 2003 Document Imaging " and perform OCR on it, with remarkable quality, equalling or exceeding the best OCR software I've since managed to collect. And of course this came for free, that is, until the oh so great Office 2007 made its appearance. complete with flying ribbons and what not.
Office 2007 removed the .mdi (MODI virtual printer) format, and replaced it with the new format they called .XPS, which in their dream world was going to replace PDF files.
The only hassle, and I'm still working on a workaround, is that apparently the MODI driver can't (or perhaps 'won't') work on a 64bit machine — although I do seamlessly run Office 2003Pro , in the Office 2003 Tools the MODI driver is still constantly replaced by the XPS driver — I'm still figuring out how to prevent that.
In the meantime, I do create .mdi files on my Asus netbook, which runs Office 2003 under XP, so there's no problem with it's MODI printer, or working with those files on my 64bit machine. The "MS Office 2003 Document Imaging " works perfectly on my 64bit machine, and also have no problem opening the .mdi files I currently create on my netbook, and then performing OCR on it using the Office 2003 software on my 64bit machine.

PS to other members.
I just received an offer from Ashampoo for their Office 2012 for $9.99
I am tempted, in the hope that it can solve one problem when using MS Office 2003 –
People sending me docx or xlsx files.
Do any of you know if Ashampoo Office 2012 can open docx files (it can), and then save them as doc
PS I have written to them asking that question, but don't know how long it will be, before getting their answer.
I have also asked them if I can share the link to the $9.99 offer, with dotTech members. -

Office 2003 was most comfortable in Win XP 32 bit, so you can set the compatibility of the program to XP.
You do that by right clicking the exe, and going to Properties, then go to the Compatibility Tab. XP can be chosen from the drop down list at the top.
Before you drop (select from) that list, I would first tick the box down the bottom to run for all users. That should bring up an identical Dialog, where you then select your options.
There are checkboxes in the middle of the dialog that you can ignore for the moment. You will only need them if Office starts conflicting with Win 7's fancy graphics.
After you have saved the changes to the Properties, go to the shortcut that you (or Startup) uses to start Office programs, and ensure that your compatibility settings are the same. If not then set them for the shortcut. -
Rob (Down Under)
I also use Win XP and MS Office (2003) for the same reasons as you (compatibility).
I help out family and friends, so it would be counter productive for me to be using the free alternatives.
But I do complain about MS's arrogance wherever I can. In fact I may have been the first to call what they are (continuously) doing arrogance. -
Rob (Down Under)
Here is a comparison of three products –
The more comprehensive one Addintools might even be free for personal use (?)
PS I wish you MS lovers (or I'll LiveWithWhateverTheyDoToMe ) would stand up and tell MS to stop foisting untested (by the masses) changes on us.
They hire young programmers, and let them dream up new features.
MS should hire and retain Analysts, that would not accept MS's arrogant changes. -
Interesting post Mukhi !
That eliminates 1 of the 3 reasons I'm still sticking to the superior Office 2003 Pro :
1) Now eliminated — the repulsive ribbon
Now if we can just eliminate the other 2 problems :
2) The dumping by MS, no doubt with a money reason, of the excellent MODI virtual printer driver, and replacing it with the utterly useless XPS Writer
3) The instantly making useless a large library of
VBA code collected over a long period of timeAargg, not a problem, I just stick to installing Office 2003 Pro running happily in 32 bit mode under my Win 7 Home 64 bit machine — besides MS didn't add ONE SINGLE new or improved feature to Office 2003 with any Office Suite from 2007 up to the present (the ribbon, plus a confusing new number of methods to essentially do exactly the same functions as before, only less effective, was its only 'contribution — it has successfully messed up a good few features though.

WCN Quicklinks >> Bronzini injured in sprint of last stage in Luxembourg's Elsy Jacobs stage race |
The "curse of the rainbow jersey" ? Giorgia Bronzini injured in Luxembourg finale Collarbone not broken, shoulder dislocated The "curse of the rainbow jersey" - is the superstitious belief that winning the World Championships and then wearing the World Champion jersey the following season brings bad luck to the champion. More typically, the curse exists in popular cycling culture and is debated at length in relation to the men's side of the sport. If the curse of the rainbow jersey is true, then Giorgia Bronzini got away without major incident in 2011. Memorably, though, she was unable to avoid a crash which happened in front of her and landed heavily in the World Cup in China in May 2011, causing facial and leg abrasions. No other serious damage was done but she bore the scars from that crash for quite a while. As reigning champion from the 2010 Geelong World Championships, she also had a relatively successful season, with several stage and one day wins. She then topped-off the year with a repeat win in Copenhagen in September. That earned her the right to wear the jersey again in 2012. Her crash in the finale in Luxembourg at the weekend (click here for details) was one of the worst in recent memory for the Italian. The crash was in the turns in the final 300 metres of the race. This meant that the Italian would be given the same time as the bunch if she finished, so she had the 'luxury' of taking time to receive treatment at the point of the crash, she was also given an ice pack to apply to her shoulder and then, she continued to the finish. Her Diadora Pasta Zara team-mates waited and accompanied Bronzini to the finish line, they all crossed the line together. At the time, it was feared that Bronzini had broken her collarbone. The team has now announced that after attending hospital, she has been diagnosed with not a broken bone, but a dislocated shoulder. They confirm that she will be out of race action for 2 weeks. Although disheartening, the injury comes at a time of relatively little racing on the World Champion's programme. She will miss Muri Fermani on 6th May, a race in honour of Marina Romili and another domestic Italian race the weekend after that. As it stands a day after the crash, the reigning champion for the Liberty Classic in Philadelphia (USA) on 2nd June should be fit to ride. Want to contact WomensCycling.net?

"Houston……we have a problem." Who can ever forget those words, delivered at the head end of a radio message to Mission Control from the crew of Apollo 13 as the seriously endangered space capsule hurtled silently toward a possible crash on the surface of the Moon.
I'm here today to send a similar, though less dramatic, message to my friends, neighbors and fellow residents of Sonoma Valley. Like Apollo 13, we face a crisis of our own, one that could over time destroy for future generations the quality of life we enjoy in the Valley today. Fortunately, like Apollo 13, good people are at work on the problem. There's significant progress to report. And the prognosis is good if we all pitch in and pull together toward a solution.
The Trigger
A terrible and shocking occurrence took place in our community in the fall of 2007. A 17 year-old Hispanic boy named Luis Roberto Miranda was shot and killed at Maxwell Park in Boyes Springs. The murder, which was gang-related, utterly stunned Sonoma Valley. People were asking each other how could this happen here? What has gone wrong with our kids? What do we have to do to fix things?
Responding to these concerns, Sonoma Valley Fund, an affiliate of Community Foundation Sonoma County, established a Youth Initiative Committee composed of Barbara Young, David Stollmeyer and me to explore the forces behind the murder and make recommendations for dealing with them. We drew on some 60 local leaders in education, government, charitable organizations, law enforcement agencies and other groups directly involved with local youth, and we also met with students. We spent nearly a year discussing these matters. As a Board member of Sonoma Valley Fund, I was privileged to take part in this effort and to serve as lead author of the final Youth Initiative Report in December of 2009.
The Setting
The SVF Youth Initiative Committee quickly found that Sonoma Valley has a huge and complex education problem – as, in fact, does the United States of America. Nationwide, literacy, math and science skills are dropping across the board. Less than 70 percent of ninth graders are expected to graduate from high school. Fewer are going on to college and still fewer actually graduate.
The challenge in Sonoma is compounded because an increasing number of children lack basic English skills. We are in the midst of a dramatic demographic shift as Anglo populations age, have fewer kids, and have them later in life, while in contrast, documented and undocumented Latino populations have large families much earlier than Anglos. This disparity has had a dramatic impact on our student population and created new challenges for our educational system.
Coupled with these demographic changes, the "drive" to get a great education is diminishing, just as the need to have one to succeed in an ever more complex and competitive global economy is increasing. Mid-level-skills jobs are going away, and they're not coming back. This means that the coming labor market will be comprised of high performance jobs, with high pay, versus low skilled jobs with low pay, and ever fewer jobs in between. There is, and will continue to be, a dearth of well-paying opportunities for those who don't finish high school.
Findings and First Steps
Unless positive academic proficiency trend lines can be restored in an atmosphere of healthy cultural values in the short-term, the long-term outlook for most of our youth and the overall health of our community is bleak.
As a result of the Youth Initiative Report, the Sonoma Valley Fund partnered with Sonoma Valley Unified School District in 2010 to launch several programs that would keep kids engaged academically and off the streets. The programs were targeted at the most sensitive times for at-risk youth, during the transition from elementary schools to middle schools and from middle schools to high schools. At these points, healthy, stimulating after-school and summertime programs can motivate academic curiosity, proficiency and healthy values to reverse the momentum now pulling so many kids in the wrong direction. And this can be accomplished at a very modest cost.
Sonoma Valley Fund's programs augmented and enriched classroom studies with off-campus experiences well beyond anything most of the kids had ever seen. Many had their first opportunity to leave Sonoma Valley with visits to the State Capitol in Sacramento, the University of California campus at Davis, and Santa Rosa Junior College. Those slated to study Asian history and culture the next year visited San Francisco's Chinatown and Asian Art Museum. Still others journeyed to Point Reyes seashore for ecology orientations. Additional off-campus summer experiences and after-school activities and programs have been added. Since its launch in 2010, roughly 500 children – a significant proportion of Sonoma's at-risk student population – have taken part in this special curriculum. And the metrics are overwhelmingly positive. (You can read the Sonoma Youth Initiative Report in its entirety at sonomavalleyfund.org/youth_initiative_findings.
Whither From Here
Last month Sonoma Valley Fund announced that the Sonoma School District will take over management of these programs, beginning this year. Sonoma Valley Unified School District's Superintendent of Schools Louann Carlomagno has vowed to build on the successes and continue to reshape the program in ways that make it even more impactful in the fragile young lives and aspirations of our at-risk Sonoma youth.
Valley residents can help the program directly by sending a check, of any amount, to the Sonoma Valley Education Foundation. Sonoma Valley Fund and Community Foundation Sonoma County have announced a Matching Grant, in which they will contribute one dollar for every dollar raised in the community for this program up to $25,000!
The educational challenge for Sonoma Valley will continue for the foreseeable future. The good news is we have a great team in place. In addition to a superb school system, we have a large population of motivated parents and other adults who support Sonoma's youth. We have more than a dozen top-notch, non-profit organizations geared toward our youngsters. And we have a privileged citizenry with demonstrated concern and ability to step up to the plate when financial resources are needed for important community purposes.
To draw upon the Apollo analogy once more, Sonoma's future largely depends on a successful collaborative effort between that fragile and special cargo on its way toward a solid education and the rest of us here in Sonoma Valley. For our part we need to put our time and money to work ensuring that each and every one of our youngsters reaches this important destination safely and effectively. Our future depends on it!
A number of us at Sonoma Valley Fund have already taken the opportunity afforded by this Matching Grant to help our kids. Please join us in this important work. Contributions to this effort can be made by sending a check to: Sonoma Valley Education Foundation, 17878 Railroad Avenue, Sonoma, CA 95476, Attention: Youth Initiative.

Curated by Peg Tassey (RUP '79-'80)
The 1970s were an amazing time at Goddard College. There was a thriving art scene, and among the young artists attending Goddard, the photography students were possibly the most prolific.
This exhibit will showcase over 20 budding artists' photos taken while they were students at Goddard in the '70s, in addition to work from photography teachers of the decade as well.
The photos conjure a time in history and place that will never be repeated, and while nostalgic for some, the pieces in this exhibit show a seriousness, a lack of irony, a sense of beauty and revolution, and a commitment to the moment that Goddard was and still is known for.
Many, if not most of these Goddard photography alumni, are still working artists, with work showing all over the world.
There will be prints hung in most of the beautiful rooms in The Manor and a separate slide show presented in The Haybarn Theatre.
An opening reception will be held Saturday, October 19th at 6:45 pm in The Manor, and is free and open to the public. This is part of the 150th Anniversary Homecoming Weekend celebration - come for the weekend, or just for the show.
The "Rural Revolution" slideshow is part of the evening's events in The Haybarn Theatre and will begin at 8 pm. There is a ticket fee for the Haybarn events unless you are registered for the Homecoming weekend.
This exhibition is dedicated to all of Goddard's wonderful photography teachers from the 1970s who inspired so many of us to continue making art.

Porsche Boxster S price, review & specs
What is it?
New, lighter, lower, faster, more efficient Porsche Boxster S, with a model code of 981. Now, stepping out of 911's shadow, the almost completely new car looks fantastic.
Technical highlights?
Lots. The body is 40 per cent more torsionally rigid, the front track is 40mm wider, the rear 18mm wider and the wheelbase is 60mm longer. All this and it weighs 25kg or 35kg (depending whether you pick the manual or PDK options) less than the previous generation Boxster S.
There's also Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), which aims to improve traction in conjunction with the mechanical limited-slip diff by selectively braking individual rear wheels. If you get the Sport Chrono Package then you also get dynamic transmission mounts (like the 911's dynamic engine mounts, but for the transmission as that's the most rearward lump in the Boxster). There's also stop/start and electro-mechanical power steering…
What's it like to drive?
The first thing I'll say is that our car was fitted with the optional sports exhaust and I implore anyone buying a 981 to fit one. It sounds absolutely fantastic, particularly all the crackling explosions on the overrun at high revs (where the engine is happiest).
Another particularly pleasing aspect about the spec of our particular car was the manual gearbox in place of (I suspect the more popular) PDK. From the very first push forward into first gear it's a tactile delight. Smooth but light and with an undercurrent of mechanical meshing, it is simply lovely. Its new higher position, nearer the steering wheel, feels good too and as if that wasn't enough it's matched to perfectly weighted pedals. It certainly shades the slighty notchy shift action of the new 911's seven-speed manual.
The brakes are standard steel items (carbon ceramics are an option) and as the road starts to plunge into a set of hairpins for the first time they feel absolutely up to the task of wiping off speed and have all the underfoot progression that you could want on the road.
This particular car comes with the optional PASM adaptive dampers, and even sitting on huge, optional 20-inch rims (19s are standard) the damping is as exemplary as you'd hope for. Grip is simply stunning, with the whole car displaying perfect mid-engined balance, perhaps helped by the (again optional) limited-slip differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring.
And so to the steering. While it isn't quite as full of subtle feel as the old hydraulic system, I can't honestly say that it gets in the way of my enjoyment of the new Boxster S. You can certainly feel the front tyres biting and then smearing across the road surface as you load them hard into a turn. The steering's weighting is good too and its accuracy is unquestionable, which in the mid-engined Boxster are the characteristics you need most, because the level of detailed information coming from the front end has never been as infinitesimally crucial to judging grip as in the more fundamentally unbalanced 911 with its buoyant nose. The only word of caution I'll sound is that it will be interesting to try the Boxster in slipperier conditions, as that's where I struggled most with the new 911's EPAS.
How does it compare?
It's still the class leader, now facing stiff competition from the (very basic) V6 Jaguar F-types. Compared to the previous generation car it also looks much more confident and assured, and it certainly no longer deserves to be called the 'poor man's Porsche'.
Anything else I should know?
The roof will now furl and unfurl in just nine seconds and it's all done with just the press of a button (rather than having to secure it manually as you did before). Porsche is also claiming 15 percent improvements in CO2 and fuel economy.

Loblaw Cos. and its pharmacy group have been awarded the Certificate of Excellence by Hypertension Canada for their efforts to promote health management and help patients manage chronic disease.
Retail News Breaks
BRAMPTON, Ontario – Loblaw Cos. and its pharmacy group have been awarded the Certificate of Excellence by Hypertension Canada for their efforts to promote health management and help patients manage chronic disease.
The Canadian food and drug retailer said Thursday that the company was recognized, in particular, for its efforts to help consumers cut down their sodium intake via the S.A.L.T. (Sodium Awareness Lifestyle Tips) campaign.
Developed by Loblaw and launched in February, S.A.L.T. ran for a full month in the retailer's food and drug stores. Patient engagement activity centered on cardiovascular health, with a special focus on sodium intake guidelines according to Hypertension Canada's CHEP recommendations.
In addition, patients taking blood pressure medications were educated about the link between sodium and hypertension, recommended daily levels of sodium, and the need to monitor personal sodium intake.
"At Loblaw, we aim to empower our customers to make healthier choices and provide them with support on their journey to a healthier lifestyle," Bobbi Reinholdt, senior vice president of pharmacy at Loblaw, said in a statement. "We are proud of the way the S.A.L.T. campaign was successful in raising awareness with our patients and the role our pharmacists and dietitians play in helping customers manage their health and wellness needs."
Loblaw added that it offers a range of patient education programs, as well as in-store dietitians, to address customers' health and wellness needs, including collaborations with organizations such as Hypertension Canada, the Canadian Diabetes Association and Anaphylaxis Canada. The retailer's 1,000-plus supermarkets across Canada include about 500 pharmacies, and its banner stores are home to over 100 affiliated medical clinics, 100 optical stores and 60 Goodlife Fitness facilities.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- The only drama at the end of this one was whether rookie DeMarco Murray would set the Dallas Cowboys ' franchise rushing record, a remarkable feat considering it's gone from Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett to NFL rushing king Emmitt Smith.
Murray indeed pulled it off, running through a shoddy St. Louis Rams defense for 253 yards, including an early 91-yard touchdown that got the Cowboys started toward a 34-7 victory on Sunday.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Kyle Boller dropped back on Oakland's first series and threw a pass to the left sideline that Kendrick Lewis intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Carson Palmer did the same to the right side to Brandon Flowers in the fourth quarter.
After all the talk this week about who would start at quarterback for the Oakland Raiders , it didn't much matter. Boller and Palmer were equally bad.
Boller and Palmer each threw three interceptions and the Kansas City Chiefs took advantage of the rusty quarterback play to win their third straight game, beating Oakland 28-0 Sunday in their most lopsided road win ever against the Raiders.
MIAMI (AP) -- Fans chanted Tim Tebow 's name in derision. They hooted as he missed open receivers, got buried under blitzes and kept falling short on third down.
Then he led an improbable comeback that became the latest chapter in the legend of Tebow.
In his first start this year, Tebow rallied the Denver Broncos with two touchdown passes in the final 2:44 of the fourth quarter to force overtime, and Matt Prater 's 52-yard field goal gave them an 18-15 win Sunday over the stunned Miami Dolphins .
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Sometimes, it seems Tony La Russa wishes he could put a dozen more players in his dugout. Just imagine how many moves he could make then.
The St. Louis manager employed most of his roster Wednesday night, mixing and matching his way through Game 1 of the World Series and guiding the Cardinals to a 3-2 win over the Texas Rangers .
-- Chris Burke, SI.com
With Jason Campbell on the shelf for several weeks with a collarbone injury, the 4-2 Oakland Raiders pried a disgruntled Carson Palmer out of Cincinnati Tuesday, giving the Bengals a 2012 first-round draft pick and a conditional 2013 pick for the 31-year-old Palmer.
The 2013 selection could climb as high as the first round, as well, and will be based on how well Palmer performs in Oakland.
Palmer demanded a trade this offseason, threatening to retire if Cincinnati didn't comply. When the Bengals refused to deal him, Palmer simply stayed away — he never formally retired but also did not join Cincinnati for the preseason or any portion of the regular season.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Left behind in the postseason race, the St. Louis Cardinals decided that they'd focus on small goals in September. Now, the ultimate one is within reach.
The Cardinals' wild ride is headed to the World Series.
"It's kind of surreal that we're here," said third baseman David Freese , who took MVP honors in the series. "But this team deserves what we've been rewarded."
Freese hit a three-run homer in the first inning and manager Tony La Russa again turned to his brilliant bullpen for seven sturdy innings as St. Louis captured its 18th pennant with a 12-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday night.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Tom Brady was having his worst game of the season. Then he did what he does best.
Trailing by three points with 2:31 left, the NFL's reigning MVP marched the New England Patriots down the field for an 8-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Hernandez with 22 seconds remaining that capped a 20-16 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Will Mali's poll bring unity and peace?
Mali's race to presidential elections comes to a head on Sunday 28 July, raising a double quandary for the West African nation recovering from a northern rebellion, a coup and foreign military intervention.
Not only do Malians have to decide which among 27 candidates to vote for; there are also mixed opinions over whether the poll is going to unite the country or further divide it.
It is less than seven months since France sent 4,500 troops to oust Islamist insurgents occupying Mali's northern regions.
"Start Quote
End Quote Abdoulaye Maiga Plumber in BamakoWe cannot go on like this... anything would be better"
Those troops have now been scaled back to 3,200, with more set to leave as a United Nations force, known as Minusma, grows to a projected 12,600 uniformed personnel by the end of the year.
But security concerns remain in the north; according to the UN's refugee agency (UNHCR) some 527,000 people remain internally displaced or in refugee camps in neighbouring countries.
They are from the volatile north and the vast majority of them will not be able to vote.
''Only a few hundred of the refugees and, as far as we can tell, only a small proportion of the internally displaced population have accessed their voter's cards," UNHCR's acting representative for Mali, Sebastien Apatita, told the BBC.
"We have raised our concerns with the ministry for territorial affairs, which is in charge of organising the elections."
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, has referred to the process as ''imperfect'' while asking Malians to accept the result.
Mali's independent electoral commission has pointed out flaws in the electoral roll.
More than 6.7 million biometric voters' cards - so called Nina cards - have been produced, based on a list that was drawn up between 2009 and 2011.
As a result of the list being outdated, no 18-year-olds and only some 19-year-olds will be able to vote in the presidential election, which will go to a run-off on 11 August if there is no outright winner on Sunday.
Palpable excitementOne candidate, Tiebele Drame, has quit the race, over concerns about a flawed electoral process including the fact that there are serious doubts over the fairness of the process in the northern town of Kidal, which is still occupied by Tuareg rebels.
Nina envy - more than a card
The biggest stars of Mali's presidential election are less likely to be its 27 candidates but 6.7 million biometric voters' cards known by the acronym Nina.
People queue for hours to get their Nina cards. Having one has become a matter of status, especially since a chaotic distribution process has left thousands of people without.
Free, valid for 10 years and featuring the holder's photograph, the neat-looking French-made Nina cards are already considered the most fraud-proof form of ID in Mali. In the bank you see people getting out their Nina cards even though they are not official ID yet, and the other people with old ID look rather sheepish.
The Ministry of Territorial administration claims 82% of cards have been collected in less than three weeks but organisations such as the UN refugee agency, which has been attempting to facilitate voting among the internally displaced and refugees, doubt that estimate.
Nina cards carry one fatal flaw: They do not indicate the address of the holder's polling station. This has to be obtained by SMS.
Last Saturday, two election officials were briefly abducted there by the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), even though its leadership has signed a ceasefire to enable the poll to take place.
But in Bamako there are posters and stickers on every street and many of the city's ubiquitous motorcyclists are riding around in giveaway candidates' T-shirts.
There is palpable excitement over the elections and arguments from the international community - which insists on the poll as a condition for reopening aid channels - appear to have gained ground at the grass roots.
This contrasts with previous elections in Mali where turnout has rarely exceeded 35%.
Ibrahima Sangho, president of Apem - an umbrella organisation supporting local non-governmental organisations with voter education and poll observation - predicts a record turnout.
''I believe it will reach 50% or even more," he said.
"Despite flaws in the process, this election is going to be the best ever in Mali.
"The Nina cards are the best voters' cards we have ever had and people know it,'' he added.
Bamako security guard Ibrahima Traore said he was eager to vote because he felt the election marked an opportunity for Mali to turn its back on bad governance.
''There are two things that make me want to vote," he said.
"One is that the international community is watching closely: Mali's economy is based on aid but donor countries are themselves in crisis and want to see their money being better spent than before.
"The other reason is that no-one in the existing transitional government is allowed to stand so they are less likely to try to fix the result."
Braving KidalOthers are convinced that the current transitional government - appointed after a coup in March 2012 - has to be replaced.
''We cannot go on like this,'' said plumber Abdoulaye Maiga.
''The current bunch are stuffing their pockets - anything would be better.''
Continue reading the main storyAfrican Union ambassador Pierre Buyoya put it more delicately to the BBC: ''The election has come around somewhat fast but there is no guarantee that an election in Mali in six months' time would be any better.''
The candidates include three former prime ministers, a former finance minister and one woman.
But only the candidates with seemingly the largest election machines - Ibrahim Boubakar Keita and Soumaila Cisse - have had the means and perhaps the guts to charter aircraft to go campaigning in rebel-held Kidal.
Election rallies by the candidates began on 7 July but many have been poorly attended, perhaps in part due to the current Ramadan fast and the rainy weather.
In one of the world´s most aid-dependent countries, election issues are few and far between, with most candidates making the same two main promises: A more powerful army and a clampdown on corruption.
Two important unknowns linger in the election and may decide its outcome - the electoral preference of the large and restive armed forces and that of the religious community.
There is nothing in the electoral code that explicitly bans the army or imams in the mainly Muslim country from telling people how to vote.
The military has been very discreet about its preference, but Mr Keita is seen as their favourite given that he never criticised the coup.
Some Muslim leaders have also been calling for people to vote for him - when you turn on a religious radio station in Bamako you hear the presenter telling you to "vote IBK", but it remains to be seen if anyone takes any notice.

Handgun: On a DAO, you pull the trigger, the hammer cocks, then the hammer falls, explosion, rack, reload...and you're off to the next round. Right? Revolver: You pull the trigger, the hammer cocks, then the hammer falls, explosion, cylinder rotates - effectively reloading...and you're off to the next round. Right? So why is the handgun considered a semi-auto but the revolver isn't?

I may be wrong in this, but I believe that the revolver works on mechanical motion, whereas the semi-auto use the recoil from the expended gasses to cycle the action and chamber the next round. Again, I could be wrong.
A good plan executed today is better than a perfect plan executed at some indefinite point in the future. - General George Patton Jr
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
I always thought you could consider a modern day rotating cylinder revolver as a semi-auto. You pull the trigger and it goes bang, up to 8 times. But yeah its in the physical mechanics of the gas pressure cycling of the semi pistol that makes it a true semi. Not a world of difference to your index finger though
I could be wrong here also, but I believe John Brownings original semi-auto pistol was DA/SA, the action of the slide not only ejected the spent round and chambered the next round, but also cocked the hammer to make follow-up shots SA. I don't know the evolution of DAO semi-autos but since they use the same operation as Brownings original, they are lumped together in the semi-auto category.
Yep. And with a revolver, the cylinder rotates BEFORE firing, not after, and for a single action pistol (1911A1) firing the first shot causes the hammer to be recocked. This does not happen with a revolver- Except in the case of the Webley-Fosberry AUTOMATIC REVOLVER. And a semi-auto would perhaps be more accurately described as auto loading or self loading (which was the term used in Germany long ago)
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
What we seem to be glossing over here is the revolver requires the DA every shot. As opposed to the semi, which is SA after the first DA action on the first round.
Not to hijack the thread but does anyone know the evolution of the DAO semi-auto?
Evolution? Law enforcement agencies with poorly trained shooters. When you have a very light trigger pull, they shoot without meaning to. The DAO pistols generally have a much heavier trigger pull. Makes it harder to shoot yourself in the ass when returning pistol to holster.

1804 Dollar Sale Brings Anticipation, Hunger
April 18, 2008
I was hungry. The market for rare coins was hungrier last night. The Queller family collection featuring an 1804 dollar attracted a crowd. Hundreds packed the auction room at the convention center in Rosemont, Ill.
Bob Merrill opened the Heritage sale by introducing a formally attired Leo Frese as auctioneer just past 6:30 p.m.
I was hungry because I had had no supper. Bob Van Ryzin and I had gone directly from the bourse floor to the auction room. I was talking to as many people for
as possible. Ironically, many of them were eating.
The sense of anticipation was strong. Dave Queller's son, Howard, said it was like waiting for a wedding. That was a good way to put it. When the bride, the 1804 dollar, became the center of attention it brought $3,737,500. That includes the 15% buyer's fee. It was sold to an Internet buyer who had never seen it.
After the sale, instead of rushing the buyer, which they couldn't do since he wasn't there, many individuals approached David Queller to ask him to autograph their auction catalogs, which he graciously did.
He told me afterwards that his knees were still shaking. That sounds like a father of the bride, too.
Then it was over. The market was fed. I got fed at 9 p.m.

Inter-departmental cooperation? We've got that in spades! Two Sundays ago, this manifested itself in a team effort between the bakery and the produce departments. Emily, produce buyer and home chef extraordinaire, brought the apples: 10 different kinds, most of them heirloom varieties. I represented for the bakery and turned each variety into an individual mini-crisp and sliced extras for a "raw" tasting. Our goal? To find out which were the best baking and which were the best eating apples. (more…)

Crisp autumnal air. The sweet smell of leaves. Dashes of yellows and oranges and reds and browns. A quintessential New England fall. And nothing says fall to me like apples and apple picking.
As a child, roaming the orchards, climbing up the ladder to pick the fruit, and biting into a juicy red McIntosh was what thrilled me. Now that I'm a bit older, I still love to pick apples but, as a produce buyer here at Formaggio Kitchen Cambridge, what really gets my motor going is the sheer variety of apples available today.
There are, of course, the old standbys like Granny Smith and Galas. The New England staples like Cortlands and Macouns. And, with the help of seed savers and the grace of a handful of dedicated growers, like Zeke Goodband of Scott Farm in Dummerston, Vermont, there are heirloom apples. The names themselves are reason to cheer: Ananas Reinette, Hudson's Golden Gem, Duchess of Oldenburg. (more…)

Spring may be the season of rebirth, but we can't help a similar feeling of renewal when September rolls around: new season, new school year, cooler temperatures (at least in the northeast). Autumn is also the time to celebrate the harvest – particularly the new batch of apples, that most emblematic of fall crops. Fresh or preserved, apples are a simple and versatile addition to any cheese plate. (more…)
Ruminating on Apples…

We recently held our first ever Apple Fest at Formaggio Kitchen Cambridge and, ever since, I have had apples on my mind! For me, apples provoke a range of memories and positive associations but, only recently, did I take the time to delve a little further into the history and science of this fruit.
When I was a child, we used to visit my grandparents' place in Connecticut and, in their orchard, we were able to pick McIntosh apples straight from the trees. Eating an apple outside and, remembering the legend of Johnny Appleseed, I would try to plant the odd apple seed. When I did so, I always envisioned a bountiful apple tree heavy with fruit and looking precisely like the apple I was munching on. Little did I know that my seed, had it ever come to fruition, would have produced something very different. Apple seeds are heterozygotes meaning that, like human children, they often bear only a slight resemblance to their parents. This is why there are so many apple varieties!
The part of me that loves to spend time in the kitchen relishes this time of year – a time that has traditionally brought with it a slew of delicious, apple-derived dishes: apple pie, caramel apples and apple cider to name a few. The prominence of the apple in the American food psyche is nothing new. If anything, it is less prominent now than it was a century ago. In the 19th century, Americans were growing in the region of 14,000 distinct varieties of apples, a period in our history that has been called the "golden age" of pomology. Apples were reviewed with the same enthusiasm with which people now review movies! (more…)

Forage and weed specialists were quizzed by Hay & Forage Grower about which weeds were more worrisome for alfalfa growers in their regions in the U.S. Curly dock took a dubious first place for most prevalent and difficult to control in several Eastern and Midwestern states. Growers are also dealing with weeds such as mustards, lambsquarters and volunteer grains; some anticipate the return of Roundup Ready alfalfa to help fight problem pests.
Intermountain California
For fall alfalfa seedings in Intermountain California, mustards such as shepherd's purse and tansy mustard are problems, says Steve Orloff, Siskiyou County farm advisor with the University of California. With spring seedings, lambsquarter is prevalent. All these weeds emerge with alfalfa after planting, are primarily first-cutting problems and can be controlled with Raptor. Dense populations can affect alfalfa stand density. Uncontrolled weeds can outnumber alfalfa and hurt forage quality.
Annual grasses hare barley and downy brome (cheatgrass) can be prevalent in established alfalfa's first cutting, reducing forage quality. Hare barley's long awns can cause mouth lesions; if infestations are high enough, hay must be ground before fed.
Dense, vigorous alfalfa stands, properly irrigated and fertilized, and timely dormant-season chemical applications give good defense. Many growers spray too late in winter, when adequate rain to incorporate soil-active herbicides is less likely, weeds are larger and harder to control, and crop injury can be greater.
Quackgrass and dandelion are hard-to-control perennials in established stands throughout the growing season. Dandelion can cause "slugs" and often turns black in the bale, visually affecting quality.
Common lambsquarter may be the most-abundant broadleaf affecting spring-planted alfalfa, says Glenn Shewmaker, extension forage specialist, University of Idaho. It reduces alfalfa stands and slightly affects forage quality, but postemergent herbicides provide reasonable control if applied when soil moisture is adequate.
Tumble mustard and other annual mustards hurt established alfalfa. They are easily controlled with dormant herbicides; don't till for control in spring, Shewmaker says. Mustards are mostly a first-cutting problem, mature rapidly and can significantly reduce forage quality and marketability.
Cheatgrass affects first cuttings, matures very rapidly, lowers protein and raises ADF and NDF. Cheatgrass awns are a problem for livestock; control the weed with dormant herbicides and grass-specific herbicides.
Volunteer small grains, widespread in seedling alfalfa, reduce first-cut quality and stand establishment, says Dennis Cash, extension forage specialist, Montana State University. They can be controlled with good post-harvest management of the previous year's grain, clipping or early application of a graminicide such as Poast, Poast Plus, Select, Prism or Arrow. When Roundup Ready alfalfa was tested, Montana researchers found better stands where glyphosate was applied at unifoliolate stage than when it or Pursuit (or Raptor) was applied two to six weeks later.
Recent summer broadleaf problems in seeding-year alfalfa are late-germinating pigweed, mallow and kochia. Some areas have ALS-tolerant kochia. Control with good crop rotation before planting alfalfa, plant early and apply herbicides. Weeds take hold in early July in slow-establishing alfalfa, causing reduced stands and subsequent yields. When transgenic alfalfa was tested, "intriguing things about the benefits of eliminating weeds early during establishment, and how this effect carried over later," were learned, Cash says.
In established alfalfa, Canada thistle is widespread and difficult to control. Cash suggests good crop rotation before planting and spot-treating bad areas with wick applicators the first year. A late-summer problem, it has limited impact on yield or quality, but can cause mold in bales and reduce palatability and alfalfa stand life.
In new alfalfa plantings, volunteer grain is a spring or late-summer problem while nightshade can hit in mid- to late summer, says Mylen Bohle, extension agronomist, Oregon State University. Apply glyphosate before planting or a grass or broadleaf herbicide during establishment. Volunteer grain can decrease alfalfa quality and yield, although it may increase total first-cutting yield if it doesn't reduce the stand. Nightshade toxicity could totally devalue a field.
In established alfalfa, bluegrass, quackgrass and dandelion are pests throughout the growing season. Apply herbicide (Velpar + Gramoxone) in fall. Depending upon stand, price of hay, etc., Kerb can be applied for grass control. The grasses dramatically reduce quality and stand life; dandelion reduces yield but not lab quality for the most part.
Foxtail grass species and several broadleaves — jimsonweed, cocklebur, pigweed and black nightshade — affect seedling alfalfa stands in first cuttings, says Keith Johnson, forage specialist, Purdue University.
Control options include: 1) seeding pure alfalfa for more herbicide choices, 2) scouting for all these weeds' presence as alfalfa and weed seeds germinate and become seedlings, 3) treating when weeds' growth can be stopped or 4) using companion crops like spring oats.
Foxtail reduces alfalfa composition and quality. With the broadleaf weeds, if not controlled, there's concern as to whether crops should be harvested because of possible toxicity. Thankfully, are all annuals.
Control curly dock in other crops rotated with alfalfa. In Roundup Ready alfalfa, glyphosate can reduce this weed's first-cutting impact. Curly dock's high-moisture, thick stems can mold within bales. Unfortunately, its seed can live in soil for many years.
Cressleaf groundsel has increased in Indiana as more row-crop fields are no-tilled. This winter-annual broadleaf can flourish in this environment.
Summer annuals such as crabgrass, foxtail and pigweed affect spring-seeded alfalfa, and winter annuals such as chickweed, downy brome (cheatgrass) and henbit hurt fall-seeded alfalfa. Some herbicides control these species, but yields will be lower once weeds are eliminated, says Kevin Bradley, plant scientist, University of Missouri.
Curly dock affects established alfalfa throughout the season but mostly at first cutting. Few herbicides control it, but spot spraying with glyphosate where feasible is effective. No current herbicides will remove established curly dock from an alfalfa stand, he believes. Roundup Ready alfalfa would help if it were available, Bradley says.
Perennial bluegrass is a year-round pest in irrigated alfalfa, lowering quality and reducing stands, says Bruce Anderson, University of Nebraska forage specialist. To control it, manage irrigation well and spray.
Tall waterhemp, a late-summer competitor reducing quality and stands, can be controlled with vigorous alfalfa stands and herbicide application.
Winter-annual mustards decrease quality and yield of first-cut alfalfa and can be controlled if herbicides are timed properly.
Winter-annual broadleaf weeds, especially wild turnip and wild radish, are difficult to control in fall-established alfalfa. So say Mark Sulc and Mark Loux, Ohio State University crop scientist and weed specialist, respectively, and Ron Hammond, entomologist at the Ohio Research and Development Center. They suggest applying broadleaf herbicide (for example, Pursuit) in fall for best control. The weeds slow drying time, reduce stand density and yield and usually lower forage quality.
Annual broadleaf and grass weeds compete with spring-seeded alfalfa, but postemergent herbicides, applied when weeds are small, can control most of them. If not controlled, they can harm stand establishment, yield and forage quality.
Perennial weeds, mostly dandelion, curly dock and Canada thistle, are problems in older stands, primarily in spring. Control before seeding alfalfa; then maintain thick, vigorous stands with good fertility and proper harvest schedules. Herbicide control is problematic; Roundup Ready alfalfa would help. Velpar and Sencor dormant applications provide some dandelion control. The weeds reduce crop vigor and yield and will fill areas where stands are not thick and vigorous.
In establishing alfalfa, pigweed and lambsquarter can be significant problems, says Dan Undersander, University of Wisconsin extension forage specialist. Use Pursuit or Raptor after seeding. The weeds are problems only within 60 days of seeding, can reduce alfalfa stand and yield and increase fiber of harvested forage.
For fall-seeded alfalfa, winter-annual weeds such as common chickweed and purple deadnettle are trouble, generally in late winter and early spring and only at first cutting. Common chickweed challenges first-crop cutting and curing, reducing quality. Winter-annual weeds are less of a problem in well-established, thick stands.
Summer-annual crabgrass and common ragweed can hurt spring-seeded alfalfa. Herbicide options are often limited; much of Kentucky's alfalfa is seeded with grasses such as orchardgrass. For new, pure alfalfa seedings, use Pursuit or Raptor, says J.D. Green, extension weed scientist, University of Kentucky. For weedy grasses, selective postemergent herbicides include Select, Poast or other products.
Curly dock is problematic in Kentucky; no herbicides can effectively control it, says Green. It persists throughout the growing season, but is more evident during first cutting, since it produces seed heads in spring. A perennial dicot, curly dock can reduce alfalfa hay quality and yield. Don't plant alfalfa in fields with curly dock present; control the weed in previous crops.
Crabgrass decreases yield and quality in spring seedings. Control with Select or Poast Plus in late April and into May, says Gary Bates, forage specialist, University of Tennessee.
In established alfalfa, Tennessee growers fight pigweed, johnsongrass and curly dock, which drop yield and quality in mid- to late season. Johnsongrass can be handled with Select; Pigweed with Pursuit or Butyrac. Make sure curly dock is out of fields before planting alfalfa.
Most weed prevention is done before seeding, because growers here plant few pure alfalfa stands, says Richard Meinert, cooperative extension educator, University of Connecticut.
Several Roundup applications kill or reduce weed seeds; then alfalfa and grass are seeded. For pure stands, small grain cover crops are used the first year to substitute for grass and suppress weeds.
Most alfalfa here is fall-established, so winter annuals such as henbit, chickweed, shepherdspurse, speedwell species, mustard species, etc., are problems, says Quintin Johnson, crop specialist with the University of Delaware. These weeds are most competitive in the fall and early spring and can affect first-cutting forage quality. Dependent upon species, dormant applications of Gramoxone, Pursuit or Raptor or postemergent sprays of 2,4-DB, Pursuit or Raptor are good control options.
In established conventional alfalfa, horsenettle is a big problem followed by biennial thistles and Canada thistle; all more so after first cutting. Horsenettle and Canada thistle can be controlled with good cultural practices and glyphosate spot-sprays. Biennial thistles are controlled with 2,4-DB or suppressed with dormant or post-cutting Raptor applications. Forage palatability and hay quality are reduced and severe infestations affect yields. Horsenettle berries can also be poisonous to livestock.
With late-winter alfalfa seedings, problem weeds tend to be lambsquarter and pigweed early and crabgrass, foxtail and fall panicum in mid- and late summer. With late-summer seedings, winter annuals chickweed and henbit are problems, says Les Vough, University of Maryland extension forage specialist emeritus. Spray depending on the severity of the problem and amount of competition. The weeds generally reduce quality and can reduce alfalfa stands.
Common chickweed and other winter annuals reduce quality and yield in established alfalfa. If anticipating chickweed, seed alfalfa in spring and work to ensure a successful seeding and a good stand, says Bill Curran, weed scientist, Pennsylvania State University.
Apply herbicide in late fall or early spring before chickweed growth takes off. It's mostly a problem in late spring before first cutting, has less protein and yield potential than alfalfa and can increase hay-drying time. Identify the weed correctly.
Perennial weeds such as curly and broadleaf dock and dandelion hurt established alfalfa at first cutting (dandelion) or in mid-summer when alfalfa is less vigorous. Difficult to control, they shouldn't be present when establishing new seedings. Maintain good fertility and soil pH and manage cuttings to keep weeds in check.
Several herbicides suppress these perennials, including Pursuit, Raptor and perhaps Velpar or Sencor. The weeds can reduce alfalfa quality and yield and spread if allowed to seed.
If perennial weeds are numerous in alfalfa stands older than three years, rotate back to corn to eliminate them.
In seedling alfalfa, summer annuals like lambsquarter, pigweed, ragweed, crabgrass and foxtail are problems, says Sid Bosworth, University of Vermont extension agronomist. Early planted stands seeded at proper rates usually outgrow weeds; after first cutting, the weeds are less of a problem. Some Vermont growers plant oat companion crops to reduce weed pressures.
Most established alfalfa stands are mixed with grasses, which help prevent weed problems until stands start thinning in the fourth or fifth year.

Stephanie explains that contact paper has more uses than just lining shelves; it can also help disguise a cord cover to match your wood floors. www.cableorganizer.com Available from CableOrganizer.com Call Toll Free: 1-866-222-0030 Hi, this is Stephanie with www.CableOrganizer.com and today I want to show you our wood grain contact paper. Now, contact paper has been used for years inside kitchen cabinets and that type of thing, but we have a totally different use for it. We have a lot of different types of cable management products; wire duct, raceway, and cable managers that all come in a lot of different colors; black, white, grey, and beige. But most of peoples' homes nowadays have wood; wood baseboards, wood windowsills and that type of thing. In order to match those, we have found a use for contact paper by covering raceways and floor cord covers on the floor. You can get a pretty close match with these thirteen different wood grain colors so that it blends better into the wood grain of your flooring or base boarding. As you can see here its just simple contact paper, it has an adhesive backing and it's really easy to apply, just smoothing the bubbles out. Again it comes in thirteen different colors, one is sure to match your type of wood flooring. Be sure to check out the wood grain contact paper at www.CableOrganizer.com.

RBC HERITAGE The RBC Heritage golf tournament is one of the highlights on the PGA Tour calendar and has been held in the picturesque community of Hilton Head Island, S.C., since its inception in 1969. During that time period, Sea Pines golf course designer Charles Fraser thought it would be a novel idea to hold a professional tournament dubbed the Heritage Classic in the area at the newly constructed Harbour Town Golf Links. Unfortunately, few people in the golfing world knew where to find Hilton Head Island on a map, so initially the event planners had dim hopes of their event succeeding.
Luckily, after sending out invitations to a number of the world's best golfers, organizers were amazed to find that many prominent golfers would play the inaugural tournament. The original event was held on Thanksgiving weekend of that year and managed to attract some of the biggest names in golf history, including Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye. Palmer won the first Heritage Classic, which was his first victory in 14 months, which helped the event gain plenty of publicity and acted as the catalyst in growing the tournament into one of the most highly anticipated competitions on the PGA calendar.
The humble Heritage Classic has grown by leaps and bounds from those early days, originally featuring a purse of $200,000, which has now grown to $5.7 million. The Royal Bank of Canada obtained the sponsorship rights to the tournament in 2011, and the event now attracts more than 100,000 spectators each year. The RBC Heritage is one of only five "invitational" tournaments on the PGA Tour, which helps to reduce the field from around 150 competitors to 130, which means that the event does not offer open qualifying and golfers can hit the links as soon as the RBC Heritage gets underway.
Since its inception, the RBC Heritage has been held at the beautiful Harbour Town Golf Links, which is consistently ranked among the top golf courses in the country by publications like Golf Digest, Golfweek and Travel & Leisure. The course is known for its embrace of nature and the surrounding landscape, which is punctuated by its famous par-4 18th hole that overlooks Calibogue Sound. The course has also achieved a designation of being a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, a prestigious distinction that combines environmental planning, water conservation and quality management, as well as wildlife and habitat safeguards, to limit the course's impact on the environment.
