Indian Jeev Mikha Singh became the seventh player to shoot a record 64 on the Earth course in Dubai on Saturday.
The 40-year-old had nine birdies and a bogey before missing a 15-foot chance to set a new mark on the final green of his DP World Tour Championship third round.
Singh has had a problem with the index finger on his right hand for over four months. It came during his winning of the Scottish Open and he is ignoring a doctor's advice to take an extended break from the game.
As for his 76-year-old mother, she is awaiting an operation in Delhi after shattering a leg in a fall on the driveway outside her home.
"I learnt about it before I teed off yesterday," he said. "She needs major surgery and I'm going to fly back tomorrow. I dedicate this round to her."
Only joint 50th of the 56 players at halfway, Singh moved into the top 20 on seven under par, but that was still four behind joint overnight leaders Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald and Marc Warren and they were still waiting to resume.
Lee Westwood established the course record en route to winning in 2009 and it has now been equalled by Ross Fisher, Peter Hanson, Alvaro Quiros, Martin Kaymer and yesterday Sergio Garcia.
Seven players were separated by only one shot at the top when Swede Fredrik Andersson Hed and South African Charl Schwartzel moved to 10 under to join Schwartzel's fellow countrymen Branden Grace and Louis Oosthuizen in third spot.
Schwartzel made it a four-way tie when he also birdied the long second, but Donald then matched that with a 10-foot putt and holed from the same range at the next to go two clear on 13 under.
McIlroy did not make the best of starts, driving into a bunker and taking a
bogey five.
He and Warren then both pulled their drives into the bushes on the 583-yard second, but while the world number one was able to hack out and make his par Warren's penalty drop led to a bogey six.
They were three behind as a result and down to joint fifth.
Donald had still to have a bogey in the tournament after 42 holes, but he was overtaken when Schwartzel eagled the 572-yard seventh to leap to 14 under.
He was already five under for the day, but Donald's third birdie came when he chipped close on the same hole and they were level again.
McIlroy, meanwhile, birdied the third and sixth to be only one behind along with Grace.

Pacific Coastal & Marine Science Center
Completed, 2008Geological characterization and sedimentary processes of nearshore habitats in Kachemak Bay, AlaskaOverviewThe ultimate goal of this project is to quantify the linkages between the dynamic sedimentary system and marine benthos of Kachemak Bay at a variety of temporal and spatial scales. In particular we aim to test the hypotheses that the amount of exposed rocky habitat on the north shore of Kachemak Bay is a function of periodic and episodic sand wave migration and that the variability of sand wave migration rates is a function of storm magnitude and frequency (as opposed to tidal currents). Kachemak Bay is an ideal location for this effort as it currently features one of the most diverse instrument arrays within the Gulf of Alaska. Objectives

About the SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge
The Clean Snowmobile Challenge is the newest collegiate design competition of the Society of Automotive Engineers. Engineering students from participating schools reengineer a stock snowmobile to reduce emissions and noise and increase fuel efficiency—all while preserving the riding excitement demanded by snowmobile enthusiasts.
The Challenge also includes a zero-emissions category, for battery-powered sleds, sponsored by the National Science Foundation. NSF uses electric snowmobiles while conducting atmospheric research in pristine arctic locations.
The Challenge is held annually at Michigan Technological University's Keweenaw Research Center.

Your best friend needs to be vaccinated once a year, a perfect time for your veterinarian to give your pet a full check-up. Come in and discuss these important issues with us soon. Vaccination reactions are very uncommon. You should contact us immediately if any reaction does occur.
All dogs should be vaccinated against Distemper, Parvovirus, Hepatitis and Kennel Cough on a yearly basis.
Pups should be vaccinated at 6-8 weeks, 12-14 weeks, and in some cases at 16-18 weeks. Older, unvaccinated dogs require two initial vaccinations 4 weeks apart. All dogs must receive a booster every 12 months to maintain immunity.
Cats should be vaccinated against Feline Enteritis and Feline Respiratory Disease.
Kittens are first vaccinated at 6-8 weeks of age , at 12-14 weeks of age and then a final Respiratory Disease vaccination is given at 16-18 weeks. After this an annual booster vaccination is required. Under certain circumstances this vaccination routine is varied.

Advocate Editorial Board opinion: VISD leader welcomes communication
By By the Advocate Editorial Board
May 24, 2014 at 12:24 a.m.
We stand corrected
Superintendent Robert Jacklich's open communication style also was evident last week when he and Victoria school board president Tami Keeling visited our editorial board to discuss our editorial about Gideons making Bibles available in public schools.
They correctly pointed out that we erred in our editorial Wednesday describing the school district's policy concerning the distribution of religious material on campus. The school district's policy restricts any use of school time for this purpose by any outside group. The district's policy has been carefully crafted to comply with Texas law.
Our editorial board recognizes that words are powerful, and we must ensure we use them in a manner such that the impression that we convey is the meaning we intend.
We apologize for this error and express our gratitude to these two leaders who showed their willingness to have a constructive conversation about our differences.
"Communication is key" is a popular catchphrase, but, in our experience, also a steadfast truism. Communication is often central to both the cause and the cure of so many issues a community faces.
That's why we have been so impressed with Superintendent Robert Jaklich since his arrival at the Victoria Independent School District. From day one, Jaklich has instituted an open, direct communication model both internally to VISD and externally to the community. He and his staff regularly visit all 29 VISD campuses. He writes a weekly column in the Victoria Advocate. He attends a staggering number of external functions, including community meetings, booster club banquets and sporting events. His level of engagement and outreach to the community is unprecedented as a superintendent and sets the tone for the entire district.
Last week, a group of 22 parents staged a protest outside the VISD administration building to voice their concerns about bullying. What was surprising was not the fact that parents had concerns they wanted to voice but that they felt the need to do so in the form of a protest.
As indicated in Jaklich's column Saturday, VISD has instituted clear channels of communication to address concerns like these. Many of the protesters expressed surprise that VISD did not attempt to address them at the protest, but we certainly understand why. With 22 parents all having their own specific issues ranging from concerns about the bullying policy to concerns about punishment being meted to concerns about the dress code, it becomes nearly impossible to address any specific matter to anyone's satisfaction while standing on a sidewalk.
Instead, Jaklich continues to urge parents to follow a simple procedure of basic communication, which is to contact the teacher of the student, schedule a meeting and discuss the issue. If the issue is not resolved to parents' satisfaction, they should escalate the issue to the principal and ultimately the superintendent.
In talking directly to community members who have followed this process, many have been pleasantly surprised by the outcome. In a school district with 14,500 students and many more parents, grandparents and other relatives combined with 2,200 employees, some conflict is inevitable. However, that doesn't mean conflicts can't be resolved in a constructive, positive way. That's the approach Jaklich has brought to VISD. He's a positive, energetic leader who is trying to infuse this attitude in everyone in the school district and - perhaps even more needed - in the community.
We encourage you to give him that chance. He won't be hard to find - he'll be the one attending and cheering at just about every school function.
This editorial reflects the views of the Victoria Advocate's editorial board.

Recently, genome-wide association studies have implicated the human LIN28B locus in regulating height and the timing of menarche. LIN28B and its homolog LIN28A are functionally redundant RNA-binding proteins that block biogenesis of let-7 microRNAs. lin-28 and let-7 were discovered in Caenorhabditis elegans as heterochronic regulators of larval and vulval development but have recently been implicated in cancer, stem cell aging and pluripotency. The let-7 targets Myc, Kras, Igf2bp1 and Hmga2 are known regulators of mammalian body size and metabolism. To explore the function of the Lin28-Let-7 pathway in vivo, we engineered transgenic mice to express Lin28a and observed in them increased body size, crown-rump length and delayed onset of puberty. Investigation of metabolic and endocrine mechanisms of overgrowth in these transgenic mice revealed increased glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Here we report a mouse that models the human phenotypes associated with genetic variation in the Lin28-Let-7 pathway.

2015: Millions will observe the 64th Anniversary of the National Day of Prayer.
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. Our Task Force is a privately funded organization whose purpose is to encourage participation on the National Day of Prayer. It exists to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer, to create appropriate materials, and to mobilize the Christian community to intercede for America's leaders and its families. The Task Force represents a Judeo Christian expression of the national observance, based on our understanding that this country was birthed in prayer and in reverence for the God of the Bible.
History of the National Day of Prayer
Because of the faith of many of our founding fathers, public prayer and national days of prayer have a long-standing and significant history in American tradition. The Supreme Court affirmed the right of state legislatures to open their sessions with prayer in Marsh vs. Chambers (1983).
The National Day of Prayer is a vital part of our heritage. Since the first call to prayer in 1775, when the Continental Congress asked the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming a nation, the call to prayer has continued through our history, including President Lincoln's proclamation of a day of "humiliation, fasting, and prayer" in 1863. In 1952, a joint resolution by Congress, signed by President Truman, declared an annual national day of prayer. In 1988, the law was amended and signed by President Reagan, permanently setting the day as the first Thursday of every May. Each year, the president signs a proclamation, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day. Last year, all 50 state governors plus the governors of several U.S. territories signed similar proclamations.
Legal Milestones for the Day of Prayer
Significance of the National Day of Prayer
The National Day of Prayer has great significance for us as a nation as it enables us to recall and to teach the way in which our founding fathers sought the wisdom of God when faced with critical decisions. It stands as a call for us to humbly come before God, seeking His guidance for our leaders and His grace upon us as a people. The unanimous passage of the bill establishing the National Day of Prayer as an annual event, signifies that prayer is as important to our nation today as it was in the beginning.
Like Thanksgiving or Christmas, this day has become a national observance placed on all Hallmark calendars and observed annually across the nation and in Washington, D.C. Every year, local, state, and federal observances were held from sunrise in Maine to sunset in Hawaii, uniting Americans from all socio-economic, political and ethnic backgrounds in prayer for our nation. It is estimated that over two million people attended more than 30,000 observances – organized by approximately 40,000 volunteers. At state capitols, county court houses, on the steps of city halls, and in schools, businesses, churches and homes, people stopped their activities and gathered for prayer.
The National Day of Prayer is Ours
The National Day of Prayer belongs to all Americans. It is a day that transcends differences, bringing together citizens from all backgrounds. Mrs. Shirley Dobson, NDP chairman, reminds us: "We have lost many of our freedoms in America because we have been asleep. I feel if we do not become involved and support the annual National Day of Prayer, we could end up forfeiting this freedom, too."
Historical Summary

(KMOV) – Three young people were killed and another injured after a convertible slammed into a deck and a tree in the St. Louis County town of Wildwood late Thursday night.
The wreck happened at the intersection of Homestead Manor Dr. and Rieger Rd. just before 10 p.m.
Officials said a male and three females were in a convertible with the top down going at a high rate of speed when it left the road and struck the deck of a nearby home.
Authorities said the car went through the deck, which had concrete pillars on it, and went down a wooded hill about 120 yards before hitting a tree.

Authorities say the male driver and a female passenger were pronounced dead at the scene. Another woman died in a helicopter en route to a hospital.
The third woman suffered minor injuries.
Authorities said all victims were in their late teens.
Two people were sitting on the deck patio when the wreck happened but they were not hurt.
An investigation continues into the cause of the wreck. Names have not been released.

As usual, the truth of Friday practice wont truly emerge until qualifying on Saturday, but the first day of running at the Hungaroring was particularly difficult to judge. Part of the reason for this is the low-grip nature of a circuit that is not often used, which means that it is always slippery on the first day.
The other factors were a light rain shower and McLarens Lewis Hamiltons spin with five minutes of the afternoon session left, because that stopped a lot of people getting their last quick run in on Bridgestones super-soft tyre.
The fact that Fernando Alonsos lap, set 40 minutes into the afternoon session, held up as the fastest tells the story. People got on in the middle of the session with trying both the soft and super-soft tyre options, ready for all-out blasts that never came.
McLaren were happy with their day. Alonso is optimistic and said he already likes the feel of the MP4-22 and that they covered a lot of ground today, while Hamiltons spin hardly changed much in the overall scheme of things.
Renault had a good afternoon, with Heikki Kovalainen running the fastest until Alonso usurped him. The team were very happy with their new front wing in Nurburgring, and here they have the car making better use of its tyres. The result was a well balanced machine, and a solid understanding of the difference in the two types of tyre.
The key here is to stop the super-soft tyre graining. The in-car TV camera footage frequently showed how left front tyres appeared to be the soft compound (without the white central stripe). However, though teams can run whichever of the two compounds they wish to on Fridays, they cant mix sets.
Thus when three of the tyres appeared to have a white stripe and you couldnt see a stripe on the fourth tyre it was either a) because there was pick-up in the groove which was obscuring the stripe or b) excessive wear. Whether it was a) or b) depended on the position of the tyre in question on the car. For this track, for the front left, the disappearance of the white stripe was most likely due to heavy wear.
Williams thought they used their time well, and while Alex Wurz lost time to an electrical fault in the morning, Nico Rosberg was pretty happy with his fourth fastest time and the direction in which they are going. BMW Sauber came here expecting to be quite strong, and but for a problem with graining, were quite happy with their progress.
At Ferrari there were mixed opinions. Kimi Raikkonen, sixth, said there was a lot more work to do on the set-up of his car as he wasnt happy with the handling in either session, but seventh-fastest Felipe Massa said he was happy with his day. Both had off-track moments, and the Finns best chance on super-soft tyres was hampered by traffic, so we will have to wait until qualifying to see what the F2007s can really offer this weekend.
Toyota were content with ninth and 11th best times, for Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher, while at Red Bull Mark Webber stopped with an electrical problem in the morning but had a reliable run in the afternoon. The light rain shower towards the end of the session saved David Coulthard two sets of tyres, which may prove to be an advantage tomorrow.
Anthony Davidson had nothing to complain about, but a small mechanical issue hampered Super Aguri team mate Takuma Sato. They were 15th and 17th respectively, with Sato sandwiching the Hondas. Jenson Button, 16th, said his day was reasonable, and that his time wasnt representative as he hit traffic and yellow flags while running on new tyres at the end. Rubens Barrichello, 18th, struggled with oversteer.
The Toro Rossos require more work on their set-ups, while at Spyker Adrian Sutil had a normal day as newcomer Sakon Yamamoto struggled on his first experience of the F8-VII.
Tomorrow is another day, to use that most hackneyed of all Formula One expressions, but quite a few people will be grateful for more grip on Saturday morning as they hone their machinery for qualifying. As in Monaco, the latter is absolutely crucial on a track where passing is so difficult.

Jamaica is a wonderfully diverse island paradise which makes it a perfect and tranquil location to learn English. As the largest English-speaking Island in the Caribbean spanning 4,400 square miles, the island boasts a unique eco-system, vibrant culture, wonderful food, breath-taking scenery and a large variety of colourful birds and fauna.
In addition to Jamaica's outstanding natural beauty, Jamaica has a rich and colourful history. Jamaica was initially inhabited by the Arawak Indians, the paintings of whom can still be found in caves around the island. Mass migration came to Jamaica by way of the slave trade and colonisation with the British and Spanish having colonised Jamaica at different periods of its history. Colonisation also introduced those of African descent to the island of Jamaica, as well as Indian and Chinese indentured labourers. Today, Jamaica is a multi-ethnic as the motto of Jamaica "Out of Many – One" demonstrates.
With beautiful beaches, waterfalls, duty-free shopping and rafting; it is easy to see why Jamaica is a popular travel destination. Jamaica is lucky enough to boast a year-round tropical climate, vibrant music scene, deliciously prepared fresh food and activities to keep even the most demanding traveller happy.
We look forward to welcoming you to our lovely island so that you can enjoy all that Jamaica has to offer.

FWA legal bill runs to almost $1 million
PUBLISHED: 14 Feb 2012 14:37:14 | UPDATED: 14 Feb 2012 14:37:14PRINT EDITION: 14 Feb 2012
The Australian Government Solicitor has run up a legal bill of almost $1 million relating to the Fair Work Australia inquiry into the Health Services Union.
Australian Government Solicitor (AGS) chief executive Ian Govey has told a Senate estimates committee the bill so far for fees and disbursements comes to $912,562.
Fair Work Australia (FWA) has spent almost four years conducting an investigation into the Health Services Union and its former national secretary, Labor MP Craig Thomson.
Mr Thomson has denied allegations he used union credit cards for prostitutes and cash withdrawals between 2002 and 2007.
That inquiry is now tipped to conclude in March, with FWA accused of engaging in a go-slow to shield the government.
Mr Govey said the AGS would continue to provide oral and written advice relating to the FWA investigation, as well as attending some interviews conducted by FWA.
"At no time has it been suggested to AGS that it has been retained to shield the inquiry or the investigations from political interference," he said.
"Secondly, AGS is not aware of any political interference into the inquiries undertaken by the Industrial Registrar or the inquiries and investigations undertaken by FWA."
Mr Govey said FWA had specifically asked AGS not provide any further information about advice or other services it had provided.
But he said he could refer questions to FWA and liaise with them in providing a response.
Representatives of FWA will appear before an estimates committee on Wednesday.
