Tiger still searching for Ryder Cup glory
Originally Published: September 13, 2004By John Hawkins | Golf World
At some point during the third round of last month's NEC Invitational, Jim Furyk turned to his playing partner that afternoon and suggested U.S. Ryder Cup captain Hal Sutton would do well to pair them together in a four-ball match at Oakland Hills. Before his sassy headcover could utter a word, Tiger Woods quipped, "You might not say that if you knew my record," to which Furyk replied, "I don't care what your record is. I'd still like to partner up."
It's worth noting that ...

ANAHEIM Julian Alexander had never been so excited about his future, never experienced such overwhelming feelings of happiness, family members say.
And his life was changing at hyperspeed:
On Oct. 18, he turned 20. On Oct. 19, he got married. By mid-December, he was expecting to become a dad.
So, earlier this week, Julian - 20-year-old newlywed and father-to-be - was feeling proud.
And protective.
And that last feeling may have cost him his life.
Around 1:30 a.m., Tuesday, Alexander heard a commotion outside the home he shared with his pregnant wife and in-laws. He grabbed a broomstick the family kept by the door and rushed outside.
Minutes later, an Anaheim police officer, pursuing four juvenile suspects in a possible burglary, shot and killed Alexander.
For now, police officials are saying only that the officer was a 10-year veteran and is on paid leave - and that Alexander was not guilty or suspected of any crime. And it may take months to sort out exactly what happened in the darkness outside Alexander's Muller Street home.
But the family says no explanation will ease their pain as they mourn the loss of would-be father who will never hold his child.
By Tuesday afternoon, as police officials held a press conference, Alexander's wife, Renee, was in the hospital with labor pains, fearful of a premature delivery.
By Wednesday morning, she was back home, labor pains gone, greeting friends and well-wishers stopping by to light candles, bring flowers and write messages of love to Julian in sidewalk chalk near where he was shot.
Renee says she's leaning heavily on her religious faith to pull her through her grief, trying to focus on her health - for her sake and for her baby.
"I know it's going to be incredibly hard," she says, arranging a bulletin board of photos chronicling her courtship and brief marriage to Julian.
"I just consider myself privileged to have known him; to have called him my husband," she adds.
"And to carry on his legacy with our child."
Julian Alexander was a huge man - 6 feet, 5-inches and about 265 pounds.
His friends, who called him "Jules," add that he was as kind as he was imposing.
He grew up splitting time between his divorced parents, in Moreno Valley and in Lake Arrowhead.
He was always a big kid, but light on his feet. His mother was a dancer and taught him dance moves from an early age, says his grandmother, Sharyne Alexander.
"It surprised people that he was so big and yet kind of shy and soft-spoken," she says.

[artist id="1961441″]Chris Brown[/artist] continues to score praise as he completes the terms of his probation for his much-publicized assault of ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
On Thursday (November 18), the singer attended a progress-report hearing in Los Angeles, which was live-streamed by TMZ, in which Judge Patricia Schnegg lavished praise on the "Deuces" crooner.
"Of all probationers I've ever had, and I've had thousands of probationers, no one has ever done a better or more consistent job than you have," Schnegg said. "And I really want to commend you for taking responsibility, and for actually working diligently to complete all of the things the court has required of you."
Judge Schnegg also remarked that Brown has finished 581 hours of community labor and only has seven more domestic-violence counseling sessions to complete. Brown has another hearing scheduled for January 28 for what Schnegg called one of the last times she plans to see him in court.
"You've done a very good job," Schnegg said of Brown's progress. Schnegg's praise is consistent with other hearings in which the singer has received a positive progress assessment .
Brown, wearing a striped cardigan and dark tie, was mostly silent throughout the brief hearing, nodding occasionally at Schnegg's comments.
Under the terms of Brown's five-year probation sentence in 2009, the singer is responsible for 180 days of community labor and required to attend domestic-violence counseling for up to one year. He was also issued a stay-away order by the judge that bars him from communicating or associating with Rihanna.
Brown's career has been going well since his last August hearing as well. The singer's Tyga-assisted collabo "Deuces" topped the charts, and he premiered the dance-driven video for the club-friendly record "Yeah 3X."

In recent years, multi-core systems have become mainstream in computer industry. The design of multi-cores takes advantage of thread-level parallelism in emerging applications that are computationally intensive and highly parallel. Energy efficiency is one of the biggest challenges in the design of multi-core systems, and workload imbalance among parallel threads is one of sources of energy inefficiency. Many techniques based on dynamic voltage frequency scaling (DVFS) are proposed to save energy consumptions on multi-cores, but all of them assume that each core in a multi-core system contains only one hardware context and only one thread can execute on one core at a time. However, mainstream multi-core systems are moving to have simultaneous multithreading (SMT) support in cores, and existing DVFS-based techniques are not effective to achieve maximum energy savings. In this paper, we present a novel technique called thread shuffling, which combines thread migration and DVFS to achieve maximum energy savings and maintain performance on a multi-core system supporting SMT. Thread shuffling is implemented and simulated in a cycle-accurate ×86 multi-core system. The experiments show that it achieves up to 56% energy savings without performance penalty for selected Recognition, Mining and Synthesis (RMS) applications from Intel Labs.

Three things occurred to us when Sean Young went to The Late Show With David Letterman yesterday.
1. Wow, Sean Young! Let's give it up for the 80's y'all!
2. Wow, why is Sean Young trying to dress like a campy villainess from a Bond film?
3. Will she go berserk on us for pointing these facts out?
We're (bravely) moving along. You know what we mean, right? Doesn't she look like she's training to be Alexis on Dynasty or something? Fur wraps "casually" thrown across the shoulders, super glossy red lips and a supposedly understated (but really not) metallic blouson. Does Sean Young have all three on? Check, check and check!
(Hi, Sean Young. Please don't go crazy on us!)

Created: 06/30/2014 3:36 PM KSTP.com
The Minnesota Twins have reinstated third baseman Trevor Plouffe and utilityman Eduardo Nunez from the disabled list.
The moves were made before Monday's game against Kansas City. To make room on the roster, shortstops Pedro Florimon and Jorge Polanco were sent to the minors - Florimon to Triple-A Rochester and Polanco to Class A Fort Myers.
Plouffe and Nunez each missed 14 games after their injuries June 14 at Detroit. Plouffe hurt his rib cage and Nunez strained his right hamstring. Nunez played in four games on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester.
Florimon went 0 for 11 in eight games since he was called up, dropping his career average to .204 in 624 major league at-bats.
Polanco went 2 for 5 over four games after making his major league debut.

Anissa and Marissa Ayala recently strolled into a boutique on Maui.
The vacationing sisters started chatting with the woman behind the counter. Suddenly, the woman recognized them.
"Oh, I remember your story!" she said.
Many people do — 17 years after the two were thrust into the national spotlight.
Destined to die young without a bone-marrow transplant, a smiling Anissa Ayala appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 1991 — her toddler sister, Marissa, perched on her shoulders.
The sister who saved Anissa's life.
The story of their parents' decision to conceive Marissa in the hopes that she would be a matching donor for Anissa, who had leukemia, became an international sensation, sparking debate about the morality and ethics of their choice.
For Mary and Abe Ayala, the issue never was complicated, or controversial: Their daughter was dying and needed a donor. Big brother Aironwasn't a match.
Not finding a suitable donor despite an all-out effort, Abe had a vasectomy reversal and Mary got pregnant — at age 42.
Marissa turned out to be a match, and at 14 months she donated her marrow to big-sister Anissa — without, of course, having any say in the matter.
This lack of consent was a focus of much of the controversy, as well as the idea of parents conceiving a child, in part, for the child's "parts" — however noble the reason.
The Ayalas were overwhelmed by the media storm.
They never questioned their choice to bring another child into the world to save another.
On a recent morning, the Ayala sisters — Anissa now is 36, and Marissa is 18 — sat in the home where Marissa lives with her parents, in Walnut.
Anissa lives in Placentia and works in Santa Ana for the Leukemia &Lymphoma Society, where she raises money in the fight against blood cancers and campaigns for marrow donors.
By the end of the interview, the issue of donating would surface in a very different context.
Anissa Ayala has a head of curls, a big smile and a full, throaty laugh.
She is thoroughly at ease discussing her story while on a break from work.
"People expect my sister to say, 'Now that I've saved your life, where's my car?'" Anissa said, busting herself up.
Marissa, the more reserved of the two, shifted a little. She recently graduated from high school.

All my days are spent
All my cards are dealt
Oh the desolation grows
Every inch revealed
As my heart is pierced
Oh my soul is now exposed
In the ocean deep
In the canyons steep
Walls of granite here I stand
All my desperate calls
Echo off the walls
Back and forth
Then back again
To believe I walk alone
Is a lie that I've been told
So let your heart hold fast
For this soon shall pass
Like the high tide takes the sand
At the bitter end
Salt and liquid blend
From the corner of my eye
All the miles wrecked
Every broken step
Always searching always blind
Never fear, No Never fear
So let your heart hold fast
For this soon shall pass
There's another hill ahead

Program Description:
The Illinois Fire Service Institute offers more than 25 Fire Officer Training courses, which are designed to provide the fire officer with the knowledge and skills necessary to function in command and leadership positions. Many of the officer courses are also offered inabbreviated versions; however they may not meet the requirements for certification from the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal. For the convenience of our students, some Officer classes are offered on weekends in local departments.
Fire Officer I & II Program Rewrite
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is the Fire Officer I & II Program being rewritten?
Yes. The Fire Officer State Certification Advisory Committee (SCAC) has been tasked with correlating the current Fire Officer Program with the 2014 edition of NFPA 1021 – Standard for Fire Officer Professional Qualifications. The Fire Officer SCAC has found the objectives of existing Fire Officer Program are two NFPA revision cycles in arrears. The Fire Officer SCAC then identified opportunities for improvements based upon adult learning concepts and delivery models along with new job performance requirements (JPRs).
Why is the Fire Officer I & II Program being rewritten?
The program is being rewritten to apply modern adult education principles, job performance requirements and to reflect the changes in NFPA 1021 Fire Officer (2014).
Will my current Fire Officer certification still be valid?
Yes, in Illinois most certifications remain valid once they are received. (Fire Investigators are required to attend and document C.E.)
Will my current Fire Officer provisional certification still be valid?
Yes, you will need to complete provisional certification requirements and will be certified as Fire Officer I or II under the old certification rules. The Fire Officer SCAC has recommended a grace period to complete this certification. The grace period would be one year from the implementation of the revised Fire Officer Program.
What do I do if I have completed any current Fire Officer, but have not completed the series of classes?
You should complete the remaining courses ASAP as teaching agencies may begin to reduce the number of offerings as the new program is introduced. The Fire Officer SCAC has recommended a grace period to complete this certification. The grace period would be one year from the implementation of the revised Fire Officer Program.
What is the deadline for completing my Fire Officer Certification under the existing system?
The Fire Officer SCAC has recommended a grace period to complete this certification. The grace period would be one year from the implementation of the revised Fire Officer Program.
How will I achieve / document experiential time?
A job task book will be issued in the course and will be completed within your own department to document proficiency and experience as a fire officer.
Who will evaluate my Task Book?
Task books are evaluated and the responsibility of your department that will be audited for completion by OSFM Field Staff representatives during site visits
Will an OSFM written exam be required to receive Fire Officer Certification?
Yes, upon completion of the course and job task book, an OSFM examination must be challenged and passed with a minimum score of 70%.
How can I complete elements of the job task book for actual emergency service delivery if we do not run that many calls?
Simulations and practice experience may be used for portions of the job task book that may not be able to be completed due to low call volume. A set of sample scenarios and simulations will be made available to approved agencies.
If our labor contract or promotional criteria require me to be a Provisional Fire Officer I or II to test or be promoted, how will I be able to get that status if it is going to be eliminated?
Course completion certificates will be issued by the agency with valid OSFM course approval and that is equivalent to the current "provisional status" which is granted upon course completion and other co-requisites.
Will there be a "Bridge Course" for my current Fire Officer certification?
No, there is no bridge course into the new curriculum as it is too different from the existing courses. The Fire Officer SCAC believes that a fire officer will be better served by moving his/her professional development forward, rather than adjusting an existing certification.
When will the new Fire Officer Program be available?
Pilot course offerings are expected in the early spring 2015.
Will I be required to obtain continuing education in order to maintain my Fire Officer certification?
The 2014 edition of NFPA 1021 states, "The fire officer at all levels of progression shall remain current with the general knowledge and skills and job performance requirements addressed in the level of qualification." Thus, the Fire Officer SCAC anticipates that Fire Officers will be required to complete and document continuing education to maintain their Fire Officer Certification.
Is the Fire Officer I & II certification going to undergo a name change?
This topic has been discussed, but no decision has been made. The Fire Officer SCAC has recommended a name change in order to differentiate between to two educational models.

The U.S. Drought Monitor is produced in partnership between the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
For local details and impacts, please contact your State Climatologist or Regional Climate Center
Nearly coast-to-coast storminess reduced drought's footprint across the nation's mid-section but triggered lowland flooding from the southeastern Plains and the western Gulf Coast region into the mid-South. Farther east, however, only light showers, if any, dampened the eastern U.S., except for some briefly heavy rain in the northern Mid-Atlantic region. In the Northeast, where little precipitation has fallen during the spring, another mostly dry week raised concerns about a lack of soil moisture and declining streamflows. Meanwhile, cool, wet weather in the upper Midwest provided much-needed moisture, following a period of rapid planting progress. In fact, below-normal temperatures dominated much of the country, with widespread freezes noted across the north-central U.S. from May 18-20. Elsewhere, broadly unsettled weather prevailed in the West, with the heaviest precipitation falling across the northern Intermountain region and the central and southern Rockies. The Western precipitation boosted topsoil moisture, aided winter grains, and reduced irrigation requirements. Beneficial showers dampened parts of California and Nevada, but failed to dent the Far West's serious hydrological drought.
Frenetic weather led to further reductions in drought coverage. Late-season snow briefly blanketed several areas, including parts of North Dakota on May 17-18 and western Nebraska on May 19-20. Farther south, multiple rounds of heavy showers and locally severe thunderstorms led to flooding, particularly across the southeastern Plains. Several gauging points, including the Red River near DeKalb, Texas, and the Poteau River near Panama, Oklahoma, climbed to their highest levels since May 1990. The Red River near DeKalb rose 4.51 feet above flood stage on May 13, while the Poteau River near Panama surged 14.54 feet above flood stage on May 12. By May 20, cumulative storage in Texas' reservoirs climbed to 24.78 million acre-feet (78.5% of capacity)—the highest in more than 4 years. Only a month ago, Texas' storage was 22.53 million acre-feet, or 71.4% of capacity. Six months ago, on November 20, 2014, storage stood at just 19.43 million acre-feet, 62.0% of capacity.
On the southern Plains, month-to-date rainfall has already exceeded a foot in many locations, including Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (13.88 inches, or 508% of normal), and Wichita Falls, Texas (12.43 inches, or 570%). Record-high May totals in those two locations are 14.52 inches (in 2013) in Oklahoma City and 13.22 inches (in 1982) in Wichita Falls. In the Plains' cotton belt, incessant rains have hampered fieldwork. For example, only 19% of Texas' intended cotton acreage had been planted by May 17, compared to the 5-year average of 36%.
Farther north, spring precipitation arrived mostly too late to revive winter wheat but has aided rangeland, pastures, and summer crops. By May 17, roughly one-third of the winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition in South Dakota (36%), Nebraska (31%), and Kansas (30%). The damage to wheat was caused much earlier due to a combination of drought and winter weather extremes. Meanwhile, South Dakota's rangeland and pastures—which were rated 33% very poor to poor on May 3, improved to 24% very poor to poor by May 17. Spring wheat, grown primarily in six Northern States from Washington to Minnesota, was off to a good start, with 65% of the crop rated good to excellent (and only 4% very poor to poor) on May 17.
No changes were made in Alaska and Puerto Rico. It is worth noting, however, locally heavy showers in parts of western and northeastern Puerto Rico staved off drought expansion. Areas that missed most of the mid-May rainfall remain dry. In San Juan, for example, rainfall from March 1 – May 19 totaled just 3.15 inches (31% of normal). Meanwhile in Hawaii, water restrictions were eased (from 10% mandatory to 10% voluntary) on Molokai, contributing to the removal of D1. On Maui, however, short-term dryness (D0) and moderate drought (D1) expanded, mainly due to worsening pasture conditions.
Significant rainfall pushed as far east as the upper Mississippi Valley but tapered to light showers east of the Mississippi River. As a result, substantial improvements in areas affected by dryness and drought were limited to the upper Midwest. St. Cloud, Minnesota, received 5.19 inches of rain during the first 18 days of May, followed by consecutive freezes (30 and 31°F, respectively) on May 19-20.
Pockets of abnormal dryness (D0) dotted the Southeast, with moderate drought (D1) confined to southern Florida. Southern Florida continues to await the arrival of its summer wet season, with drought-related impacts expected to diminish once rains arrive. Elsewhere, patchy Southeastern dryness was promoting spring fieldwork but reducing streamflows and increasing stress on pastures and summer crops. In Tennessee, 59% of the pastures were rated good to excellent on May 17, down from 70% a week earlier. Similarly, Georgia's pastures rated good to excellent declined from 70 to 63% during the week ending May 17.
Aside from a couple bursts of thundershowers in the Mid-Atlantic States, mostly dry weather again prevailed. Stream data from USGS indicated extremely low flows for this time of year from the northern Mid-Atlantic region into southern New England. Moderate drought (D1) was introduced in two areas—one stretching from parts of eastern Pennsylvania into New England, and the other covering much of northern New York. In many of the driest areas, spring precipitation has been scarce. From March 1 – May 19, precipitation totaled less than two-third of normal in locations such as Boston (5.64 inches, or 56% of normal), New York's Central Park (7.12 inches, or 63%), and Providence (7.39 inches, or 65%).
Cool, occasionally showery weather across much of the western U.S. reduced irrigation demands, boosted topsoil moisture, and benefited rangeland, pastures, winter grains, and spring-sown crops. However, the late-season moisture failed to significantly alter the bleak hydrological situation in drought-affected areas, including California. By April 30, reservoir storage as a percent of average for the date was significantly below normal in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oregon. Storage in California's 154 reservoirs stood at 18.0 million acre-feet (64 percent of average) on May 1, about 1.6 million acre-feet lower than a year ago. With little snow in the mountains above California's lakes, further inflow will be negligible, meaning that the reservoir recharge season has ended early.
An exception to the West's cool, damp pattern was the Pacific Northwest, where abnormal dryness (D0) expanded to cover western Washington. During the first 19 days of May, rainfall totaled just 0.65 inch (20% of normal) in Quillayute, Washington. Farther inland, USDA on May 17 rated only a little more than one-third of the winter wheat crop in good to excellent in Washington (39%) and Oregon (34%). In addition to less-than-ideal crop conditions, snowpack and streamflows remain at extremely low levels in most of the Northwest. As a result, severe drought (D2) was introduced across portions of northeastern Washington and northern Idaho, while moderate drought (D1) was expanded. Farther south, recent precipitation has been heavy enough in southern Idaho to prevent significant drought expansion, although hydrological concerns persist.
Despite atypically heavy showers for May in California, Nevada, and Arizona, the drought depiction remained effectively unchanged. Simply stated, the late-season rain and snow showers have improved the appearance of the landscape but have left the underlying, long-term drought virtually untouched. Even with the showers, California's topsoil moisture was rated 85% very short to short on May 17, while subsoil moisture was 90% very short to short. Similarly, Nevada's topsoil moisture was 65% very short to short, while subsoil moisture was 85% very short to short. Nevertheless, locations reporting their wettest May day on record included San Diego, California (1.63 inches on May 14; previously, 1.49 inches on May 8, 1977), and Phoenix, Arizona (0.93 inch on May 15; previously, 0.91 inch on May 4, 1976).
More widespread precipitation has fallen in recent weeks across the central and southern Rockies and environs. In fact, the water content of the high-elevation snowpack climbed above the mid-May average in several river basins in the Rockies of Colorado and New Mexico. Due to the extensive precipitation, improved water-supply prospects, and boost in soil moisture, another round of sweeping improvements in the drought depiction were introduced in Colorado and New Mexico, extending northward into southern Wyoming and westward into eastern Utah. Through May 19, month-to-date precipitation has totaled 200 to 300% of normal in locations such as Grand Junction, Colorado; Salt Lake City, Utah; Denver, Colorado; and Evanston, Wyoming. Parts of New Mexico have been even wetter in recent weeks, relative to normal, with May 1-19 totals reaching 5.45 inches (524% of normal) in Clayton and 1.50 inches (484%) in Albuquerque.
During the next several days, a parade of storms will continue to emerge from the western U.S. As a result, 5-day precipitation totals could reach 1 to 2 inches from Oregon and northern California to the Intermountain West. Meanwhile, totals of 2 to 5 inches or more can be expected across the central and southern Plains and parts of the mid-South. In contrast, little or no rain will fall in the eastern U.S. and across the nation's northern tier. Most of the country, excluding the Southeast and Northwest, will continue to experience cool weather.
The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook for May 26 – 30 calls for likelihood of above-normal temperatures along the Pacific Coast, in the Northwest, and east of the Mississippi River. Meanwhile, cooler-than-normal conditions will cover the central and southern High Plains and parts of the Southwest. A wet pattern will persist nearly nationwide, with drier-than-normal weather likely limited to the northern Pacific Coast, southern Florida, and a small area near the Canadian border centered on northern North Dakota.

Andrew Dolny
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our fourth quarter earnings call. I'm here this morning with Scott Davis, our CEO, and Kurt Kuehn, our CFO, to discuss the company's results for the quarter and our outlook for 2010.
Before we begin, however, I will review the safe harbor language. Some of the comments we'll make today are forwardlooking statements that address our expectations for the company's future performance or results of operations. These anticipated results are subject to risk and uncertainties, which are described in detail in our 2008 10K, and 2009 10Q reports.
These reports are available on the UPS Investor Relations website or from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Today's call is being webcast and will also be available on our Investor Relations website.
In their remarks today, Scott and Kurt will compare results for 2009 and 2008, excluding the effects of adjustments that occurred in both years. Such a comparison is more reflective of UPS' true performance. The adjustments in 2009 that I am referring to include charges of $258 million during the first half relating to the acceleration of the retirement of aircraft and the remeasurement of certain foreign currency denominated obligations.
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we took impairment charges of $575 million in our UPS Freight unit and in the International segment. A reconciliation of these results is included with our earnings announcement this morning and appears on UPS' IR website in the financial information tab.
In addition, Kurt will refer to UPS' free cash flow, which is a nonGAAP financial measure. Reconciliation is included with the news announcement this morning and is available on the Investor Relations website. Before I turn the call over to Scott, a reminder. During the questionandanswer period, please limit yourself to one question and one followup. Now here's Scott.
Scott Davis
Good morning, everyone. Several times over the last year, I shared with you my conviction that UPS has the ability to manage effectively in response to changing market conditions. That certainly proved true in 2009. UPS has emerged from a very difficult year leaner, more focused, and better positioned to take advantage of improving economic trends. Let me illustrate.
During 2009, UPS improved operating efficiency through a comprehensive costmanagement effort. We demonstrated the nimbleness of our international business unit by quickly adjusting our network to match volume levels and ending the year with operating margins that are near historical norms.
UPS bolstered our technology leadership with the introduction of new mobile shipping applications and the expansion of our WorldShip platform by adding the ability to ship air freight as well as small package and LTL. Our investment for growth continued around the world through new construction in China that will facilitate global trade, facility expansions like Worldport that create network efficiencies, and acquisitions that strengthen our presence in growing markets.
We took our service performance to even higher levels and continued to build upon our environmental commitment as evidenced last week when we were ranked number nine among the top 100 global companies in Maplecroft's Climate Innovation Index.
Lastly, once again UPS produced cash flow and margins that are the best in the industry; and we're not standing still. We're in the process of streamlining our U.S. small package structure. This effort is about improving how we go to market and interact with our customers. It's also about being more efficient with our resources to generate better returns in our domestic business. It will enable us to reduce costs and move market and resources and decision-making closer to the customer.
This restructuring has been in the planning stages for quite some time and would have happened regardless of the business environment. Over the last few years, UPS has greatly expanded the breadth and depth of the solutions we offer. Through this new structure, we now have the opportunity to better deliver the value our solutions bring to small and mediumsize customers. That's what's driving this change.
It will take some time the see the full impact of our new structure. But in the long run, this may prove to be one of the most significant changes to our domestic business in quite some time.
On a different note, the fourth quarter marked the tenth anniversary of UPS' IPO. Going public has helped the company in a number of ways. It affords us greater financial flexibility since we no longer have to support a closely held stock. And the IPO introduced a new voice at the table, outside investors.
While it's been a turbulent decade in the stock market, since the IPO our total return to shareowners has outperformed the S&P 500. Over the last ten years, our brand has become truly global as we expanded our presence around the world.

Say "Star Wars" and one is immediately transported to a "long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away". There is that dramatic opening, the scroll that tells us the latest status of the war between the evil imperial forces and the brave rebel alliance. And of course there is John Williams' rousing "Star Wars" theme.
It all began in 1977 when George Lucas released "Star Wars". The film used familiar archetypes to fashion the ultimate space opera. By today's standards, the effects are rather primitive. All that is totally beside the point, as "Star Wars" resonated in some deep, primeval way across the race and gender to become a monster hit.
The film cleverly mixed romance, humour, mythology, breathtaking action, a bildungsroman and super-creative special effects to create the mother of all entertainers. "Star Wars" tells the story of a simple farm boy, Luke Skywalker, who learns he is a Jedi Knight and faces his destiny which includes crossing light sabres with the evil Darth Vader, who was himself a Jedi before being seduced by the dark side of the Force.
"Star Wars" was followed by "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980), that rare sequel that tops its predecessor and the rather weak "The Return of the Jedi" (1983).
The movies made stars of all the cast. While Harrison Ford as the charming rogue, Han Solo, was propelled into superstardom, the others — Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia and Alec Guiness as the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, all became household names.
The weird and wonderful creatures including the garrulous C3PO, the efficient R2D2, the wookie Chewbacca and of course the wise Yoda, he of the pointy ears and weird syntax were all seared into collective unconscious.
All was silent on the galaxy for 16 years till in 1999 George Lucas unveiled "The Phantom Menace", a prequel to the action of "Star Wars", "Menace" told the story of how ace pilot and Jedi Knight, Anakin Skywalker, turned into the warped and twisted Darth Vader. The movie used cutting-edge technology to create beautiful worlds in water and air but was pulled down by its weighty self consciousness. Though actors such as Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor and Samuel L. Jackson did what they could with their thinly-written parts, the movie leant heavily on its mythical status in the collective subconscious.
"Phantom Menace" was followed in 2002 by the unfortunately-named "The Attack of the Clones." The movie was technically awesome and the greatest fun was in seeing Yoda do some super pyrotechnics but the core story, the forbidden love between Queen Padme (Natalie Portman) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) was dry as dust.
"The Revenge of the Sith" in 2005 completed the trilogy where everything is answered — what happened to all the Jedi, the Emperor's hold on Anakin, his transformation to Darth Vader and his capitulation to the seductive power of the dark side.
"Star Wars" junkies have debated forever the truth of the urban legend of whether Lucas conceived of "Star Wars" as the fourth movie in the series and whether the asteroid field in "The Empire Strikes Back" features a potato and a sneaker!
All will be made clear, thanks to Excel home videos and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment who have brought out the six movies on DVD. The movies are available individually for Rs. 499 and the two trilogy packs are priced at Rs. 1,199 each.
The DVDs of "Star Wars", "The Empire Strikes Back" and "The Return of Jedi" feature two discs. One is the original theatrical release while the other is the digitally mastered version. And the original theatrical release of "Star Wars" is not referred to Episode IV. Watching the two DVDs back to back is also fun to see all the additions including the scene where Solo steps on Jabba's tail and the Hutt's pained expression.
The digitally mastered version of "Return of the Jedi" features a cheesy scene where Hayden Christensen beams beatifically alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda.
The DVDs of the prequel trilogy has an extra disc of bonus features including making of features and deleted scenes. It would have been nice if the earlier movies too had making-of features like the box set of the video cassettes did. But one cannot be too greedy. There is the ultimate joy in watching the ewoks say "Weee" and Han Solo make one of his smart-alec comments.
May the force be with you as you embark on the twentieth century's most enduring space opera!
Keywords: Star Wars, George Lucas, Luke Skywalke, Jedi Knight, The Empire Strikes Back

West Las Vegas head baseball coach Dean Gallegos will lead the North All-Stars — which include three players from the Meadow City — in this weekend's Class 3A North-South game in Socorro.
Michael Armijo and Jared Gallegos of WLV and Adrian Jaramillo of Robertson highlight the players chosen for the North. Gallegos, also an All-State honoree, pitched and played outfield for the Dons; Armijo was an infielder. Jaramillo played a couple of positions for the Cardinals.
State Rep. Thomas Garcia will be the new superintendent of the Mora school district.
Garcia beat out two other candidates interviewed during a Mora school board meeting Tuesday night. The board unanimously approved Garcia as the new superintendent, with member George Trujillo making the motion.
Garcia, whose District 68 includes Mora County, lives in Las Vegas much of the time but lists his official residence as Ocate, which is in Mora County.
A 9-year-old girl is in serious condition after being hit by a car while riding her bike Tuesday, city police said. The motorist may have been on his cell phone at the time.
Madison Holley, 1309 First St., whose mother is Pamela Bustos, was taken by helicopter to University of New Mexico hospital in Albuquerque on Tuesday night.
According to police, Holley was apparently riding across First Street in front of her family's house when Peter J. Salazar Jr., 33, 2514 Carmean Drive, accidentally struck her. Other children were reportedly in the area.
The following are recent scores and upcoming baseball, softball and tee-ball games for La Plaza Little League and Las Vegas Little League.

I would like to thank the 104 people in Mora County who still believe in me. Know that even if I lost the election, I will always be there to help in whatever way I can if they ever need me.
I tell the truth and can back it up in black and white. I also write a lot of informational articles in the paper which some people detest, but there was a lot of negative verbal publicity and defamation of character in this election process, before and after, and I detest that.
On the morning of June 6, there was a structure fire that had spread to the forested property in the Rincon Ranch subdivision. One home burned, however, there was not anyone injured. It was a seasonal vacation home.
I would like to thank the Guadalupita, Moreno Valley and Mora fire departments for their quick response. Also, I would like the thank the neighboring residents who provided quick response help until the departments arrived.
This is in response to recent news articles published throughout New Mexico in reference to disparaging and racist remarks (allegedly) made by Val Kilmer, actor, who is now scheduled to appear before the San Miguel County Commissioners on June 23. Remarks he made back in 2003 and 2005 with Esquire Magazine and the Rolling Stone Magazine, are now being denied by Mr. Kilmer. Both magazines have stated publicly that despite Kilmer's denial, they both stand (by) their publications.
What was once secret at City Hall is now public.
Last year, then-City Attorney Carlos Quiñones told the City Council that one of its members couldn't be trusted because someone had released e-mails among council members to the public.
In a confidential memo, Quiñones said an Optic story in March 2009 made clear that someone was releasing the e-mails in violation of the ethics code and his legal advice.
Last week, however, the new city attorney, Dave Romero, read some of those very same e-mails into the record at a City Council meeting.

LAGOS: Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan Sunday vowed that his government will ensure the release of the 223 schoolgirls abducted by suspected Boko Haram Islamists.
"We promise that anywhere the girls are, we will surely get them out," Jonathan said in a live radio-television media chat in the nation's capital Abuja, monitored in Lagos.
"This is a trying time for this country... it is painful," he said, and pleaded for the cooperation of parents, guardians and the local communities in the rescue efforts.

If guys were squaring him up I'd be worried about it. Guys are hitting ground balls and flares/bloops.

She said she went to a hospital the next day, but left before police could arrive and collect evidence because she didn't want to falsely accuse anybody when she wasn't sure something happened. She contacted police on Oct. 28, 2010, after learning she was pregnant.
District Judge Paul King declined to declare a mistrial after Steinberg objected to Thomas' testimony during which he recounted Cox's "she's ready" comment. Steinberg had argued that Thomas's statement was worded differently from a previous statement.
Under questioning by Steinberg, Thomas said he sent the woman a text around noon to ask if she remembered what happened earlier, which the woman told police she found suspicious. Thomas said he sent the text after Cassius Vaughn, Cox's roommate who was asleep in the apartment during the alleged assault, told him at the Broncos' facility that Che and the accuser "had a girl on girl action."
Thomas caught an 80-yard touchdown to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in a first-round playoff game in January.

The lack of color in the new pictures gives them the grungy, claustrophobic look of old Polaroid pornan ironic realness since the actors in these sex scenes are naked plastic dolls whose bodies have been gouged, burned, broken, and clumsily glued together. Like much of Sherman's earlier work with mannequins and prostheses, these figures are at once male and female: a big-headed, baby-faced nude lies back on rumpled fabric, legs raised and spread around her fat cock; a sexless torso with stunted arms and a big, slashed dick is attached to skinny female legs and topped by the head of an old man whose mouth has melted off. Vaginas are deep, gaping slitswounds echoed by gashed faces, severed limbs, and mouths that are only ragged holes.
In Sherman's miniaturized world, sex is gross, blunt, and violent; love is not just a battlefield but a killing ground, a dead end. Which is where the artist now finds herself. Is that all there is? Impossible. There is a place less bleak, less hopeless than this, and I'm still trusting in Sherman to take us there.

Public hearing on property tax hikes to be held
PHOENIX -- The Maricopa County Community College District Governing Board will hold a public hearing Wednesday on a proposed 2 percent property tax increase that would raise some $8.4 million.
The increase would raise taxes by $2.51 on a $100,000 home.
"The district needs the money to improve student success," said Tom Gariepy, director of marketing and communications for the MCCCD. "To improve the possibility that the students who come here will not only stay in school, but will graduate with their degrees and move on to do whatever it is they came here to accomplish."
If the tax hike is approved, it won't be the only thing going up in price.
"The governing board has approved a proposal to increase tuition by $3 a credit hour," said Gariepy.
That means that the district's 260,000 students will now pay $84 a credit hour. Gariepy said that tuition only covers about a third of the district's expenses.
The public hearing starts at 6:30 p.m. at the district headquarters, which is located at 2411 W. 14th Street in Tempe.

Recipe by LaCuocaEnza
"'Chiacchiere' is a dessert that is fried and sprinkled with confectioners' sugar and served with sanguinaccio. It is a traditional Italian dessert in the region of Campagnia, served during 'carnevale' or as we say Mardi Gras. It is served with 'sanguinaccio' a chocolate sauce used for dipping the 'chiacchiere'. Years ago the sanguinaccio was made with chocolate and pig's blood, but now the use of the blood has been banned due to health concerns, but in small villages across Italy it is still used."
