Who was Blaise Pascal?
Blaise Pascal was a French Christian, philosopher, mathematician, physicist, inventor, and writer. He was born in 1623 and died in 1662.
Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalizing the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defense of the scientific method.
In 1642, while still a teenager, he started some pioneering work on calculating machines. After three years of effort and fifty prototypes, he invented the mechanical calculator. He built 20 of these machines (called pascal's calculator and later pascaline) in the following ten years.
Pascal was an important mathematician, helping create two major new areas of research: he wrote a significant treatise on the subject of projective geometry at the age of 16, and later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory, strongly influencing the development of modern economics and social science. Following Galileo and Torricelli, in 1646 he refuted Aristotle's followers who insisted that nature abhors a vacuum. Pascal's results caused many disputes before being accepted.
In 1646, he and his sister Jacqueline identified with the religious movement within Catholicism known by its detractors as Jansenism. His father died in 1651. Following a mystical experience in late 1654, he had his "second conversion", abandoned his scientific work, and devoted himself to philosophy and theology.
His two most famous works date from this period: the Lettres provinciales and the Pensées, the former set in the conflict between Jansenists and Jesuits. In this year, he also wrote an important treatise on the arithmetical triangle. Between 1658 and 1659 he wrote on the cycloid and its use in calculating the volume of solids.
Pascal had poor health especially after his 18th year and his death came just two months after his 39th birthday.
Contributions to mathematics
Pascal's triangle. Each number is the sum of the two directly above it. The triangle demonstrates many mathematical properties in addition to showing binomial coefficients.
Pascal continued to influence mathematics throughout his life. His Traité du triangle arithmétique ("Treatise on the Arithmetical Triangle") of 1653 described a convenient tabular presentation for binomial coefficients, now called Pascal's triangle. The triangle can also be represented:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 2 1 3 6 10 15 3 1 4 10 20 4 1 5 15 5 1 6 6 1
He defines the numbers in the triangle by recursion: Call the number in the (m+1)st row and (n+1)st column tmn. Then tmn = tm-1,n + tm,n-1, for m = 0, 1, 2... and n = 0, 1, 2... The boundary conditions are tm, −1 = 0, t−1, n for m = 1, 2, 3... and n = 1, 2, 3... The generator t00 = 1. Pascal concludes with the proof,
In 1654, prompted by a friend interested in gambling problems, he corresponded with Fermat on the subject, and from that collaboration was born the mathematical theory of probabilities. The friend was the Chevalier de Méré, and the specific problem was that of two players who want to finish a game early and, given the current circumstances of the game, want to divide the stakes fairly, based on the chance each has of winning the game from that point.
From this discussion, the notion of expected value was introduced. Pascal later (in the Pensées) used a probabilistic argument, Pascal's Wager, to justify belief in God and a virtuous life. The work done by Fermat and Pascal into the calculus of probabilities laid important groundwork for Leibniz' formulation of the infinitesimal calculus.
After a religious experience in 1654, Pascal mostly gave up work in mathematics.Adult life, religion, philosophy, and literature
For after all what is man in nature? A nothing in relation to infinity, all in relation to nothing, a central point between nothing and all and infinitely far from understanding either. The ends of things and their beginnings are impregnably concealed from him in an impenetrable secret. He is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness out of which he was drawn and the infinite in which he is engulfed.Religious conversion
In the winter of 1646, Pascal's 58 year-old father broke his hip when he slipped and fell on an icy street of Rouen; given the man's age and the state of medicine in the 17th century, a broken hip could be a very serious condition, perhaps even fatal. Rouen was home to two of the finest doctors in France: Monsieur Doctor Deslandes and Monsieur Doctor de La Bouteillerie. The elder Pascal "would not let anyone other than these men attend him...It was a good choice, for the old man survived and was able to walk again..."
But treatment and rehabilitation took three months, during which time La Bouteillerie and Deslandes had become household guests. Both men were followers of Jean Guillebert, proponent of a splinter group from the main body of Catholic teaching known as Jansenism. This still fairly small sect was making surprising inroads into the French Catholic community at that time.
It espoused rigorous Augustinism. Blaise spoke with the doctors frequently, and upon his successful treatment of Étienne, borrowed works by Jansenist authors from them. In this period, Pascal experienced a sort of "first conversion" and began to write on theological subjects in the course of the following year.
Pascal fell away from this initial religious engagement and experienced a few years of what some biographers have called his "worldly period" (1648–54). His father died in 1651 and left his inheritance to Pascal and Jacqueline, of which Pascal acted as her conservator. Jacqueline announced that she would soon become a postulant in the Jansenist convent of Port-Royal. Pascal was deeply affected and very sad, not because of her choice, but because of his chronic poor health; he too needed her.
By the end of October in 1651, a truce had been reached between brother and sister. In return for a healthy annual stipend, Jacqueline signed over her part of the inheritance to her brother. Gilberte had already been given her inheritance in the form of a dowry.
In early January, Jacqueline left for Port-Royal. On that day, according to Gilberte concerning her brother, "He retired very sadly to his rooms without seeing Jacqueline, who was waiting in the little parlor..." In early June 1653, after what must have seemed like endless badgering from Jacqueline, Pascal formally signed over the whole of his sister's inheritance to Port-Royal, which, to him, "had begun to smell like a cult." With two-thirds of his father's estate now gone, the 29 year old Pascal was now consigned to genteel poverty.
For a while, Pascal pursued the life of a bachelor. During visits to his sister at Port-Royal in 1654, he displayed contempt for affairs of the world but was not drawn to God.The Pensées
Pascal's most influential theological work, referred to posthumously as the Pensées ("Thoughts"), was not completed before his death. It was to have been a sustained and coherent examination and defense of the Christian faith, with the original title Apologie de la religion Chrétienne ("Defense of the Christian Religion").
The first version of the numerous scraps of paper found after his death appeared in print as a book in 1669 titled Pensées de M. Pascal sur la religion, et sur quelques autres sujets ("Thoughts of M. Pascal on religion, and on some other subjects") and soon thereafter became a classic.
One of the Apologie's main strategies was to use the contradictory philosophies of skepticism and stoicism, personalized by Montaigne on one hand, and Epictetus on the other, in order to bring the unbeliever to such despair and confusion that he would embrace God.
Pascal's Pensées is widely considered to be a masterpiece, and a landmark in French prose. When commenting on one particular section (Thought #72), Sainte-Beuve praised it as the finest pages in the French language. Will Durant hailed it as "the most eloquent book in French prose." In Pensées, Pascal surveys several philosophical paradoxes: infinity and nothing, faith and reason, soul and matter, death and life, meaning and vanity—seemingly arriving at no definitive conclusions besides humility, ignorance, and grace. Rolling these into one he develops Pascal's Wager.Source

Land Transfers
These land transfers were recorded Sept. 16-Oct. 1, 2014, in the office of Carolyn H. Honeycutt, formerly clerk of the Carroll County Circuit Court, Hillsville:
An Independence man was arrested April 17 on drug charges, according to a Galax Police Department report.
Jackie Christopher Parsons, 37, was charged by Officer Drew Burnett, who encountered Parsons while trying to locate a person in an unrelated matter.
Parsons is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and possession of a Schedule IV drug.
He was sent to the New River Valley Regional Jail on a secured bond, pending his appearance in Galax General District Court.
ROANOKE –– A leadoff double and two pitches to the backstop accounted for all the offense Carroll County would need Monday as the Cavaliers notched a huge 1-0 River Ridge District softball win at Cave Spring.
Carroll County (7-0 overall, 2-3 RRD) led off the game with a Tiffanie Moore double to right center, and two wild pitches later the Cavaliers had scored the only run the game would produce.
INDEPENDENCE –– Travis Hedgepeth misfired badly on his easiest scoring opportunity of the night. The George Wythe forward more than made up for it.
Hedgepeth scored three goals to lead his Maroons over Grayson County 4-1 in a nondistrict boys' soccer match Monday at Bill Strong Field.
George Wythe remained undefeated at 5-0-1 with the win, dropping Grayson County to 2-3.
Galax rapped 11 hits and scored 11 runs in the first inning, going on to drill George Wythe 19-8 in softball. Drew Cardwell's second hit of the inning was a two-run home run that capped the huge start. Cardwell and Harley Brewer combined for seven hits and seven RBIs.
Carroll County cut a 7-1 deficit to a single run but Grayson County held on for an 8-6 win in softball. Traci Crigger had three hits and five RBIs for Grayson.
Basketball has been in the rearview mirror for more than a month but some members of Twin County teams remain at the forefront as postseason honors continue to be announced.
According to Careercast.com, the occupation of Newspaper Reporter is dead last on a list of 200 jobs, ranked from best to worst.
Lumberjacks, no need to thank us for getting you out of the cellar. Besides, I'm not a newspaper reporter. I'm a sportswriter.
SALEM –– A pair of robust rallies were all Salem would need Friday night as the Spartans knocked off Carroll County 15-3 in a River Ridge District baseball game at Kiwanis Park.
Salem scored 13 of its 15 runs in the second and fourth innings to end the game after five innings on the 10-run rule.
INDEPENDENCE –– Cell phone conversations among the spectators notwithstanding, folks in and around the Galax-Grayson County softball game probably had little idea what was going on among their baseball counterparts on the other side of the parking lot Friday. They need only pay attention to their own game to get a pretty good idea.
INDEPENDENCE –– For the first time in what seemed like forever, it wasn't raining Friday afternoon. The floodgates opened nonetheless.
An eight-run deluge in the fifth inning broke open a one-run ballgame and boosted Grayson County to a 13-4 win in a highly-anticipated Mountain Empire District baseball game at the Grayson National Bank Baseball Complex.

Hagel says legal immunity key in Afghanisan
Thursday - 1/31/2013, 10:35am EST
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Chuck Hagel, President Barack Obama's nominee to be the next secretary of defense, says it will be important to protect from potential Afghan prosecution any American troops who remain there after the allied combat mission ends in 2014.
Hagel made the remark Thursday during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Hagel was asked about Obama's pending decision on how many troops -- if any -- to keep in Afghanistan after 2014. He said that as of Thursday Obama had not made a decision. One factor Obama is considering is whether the Afghan government will agree to give U.S. troops immunity from prosecution under Afghan laws.

Sempra CEO on blackout, rates, doing business in Mexico
First woman to head energy giant talks of big challenges ahead
Debra Reed has taken the helm of a major utility holding company in the throes of ambitious change. She was promoted to CEO of Sempra Energy in late June after a three-decade career with some of its subsidiaries.
Sempra's two utilities — SDG&E and SoCalGas — are tackling major infrastructure projects: construction of a $1.9 billion transmission line between San Diego and the Imperial Valley and a proposed $3.1 billion, 10-year overhaul of pipeline safety and maintenance.
Other subsidiaries have boosted investments in Mexico and taken a controlling stake in two electric utilities in South America, while also trying to expand development of large solar and wind farms.
Mark Barnett, an equity analyst at Morningstar, said Sempra's businesses are juggling complex ventures. "Delivering on those projects and delivering at those businesses is going to be a big challenge," he said.
Reed, 55, is Sempra's first female chief executive. She represents a diverse new generation of upper management at the San Diego-based Fortune 500 company, which has roughly 17,500 employees worldwide.
The Union-Tribune spoke with Reed at Sempra's downtown headquarters, and the chief executive later responded to additional questions about the Sept. 8 power failure affecting about 3.5 million people in SDG&E service territory.
Reed referred questions to SDG&E about the cause and significance of the outage, power-grid reliability, precautions against future outages and communication with consumers.
In deferring those questions, Reed cited regulations dictating that Sempra's California utilities operate independently from other business units that she also oversees.
Q: How did the outage unfold for you? How did you respond?
A: It was a little after 3:30 p.m. and I was in a meeting at our downtown headquarters building. Our power in the building went out. I called SDG&E President Mike Niggli. SDG&E already was in contact with the California Independent System Operator, trying to determine the source of the outages and the restoration strategy, so they could start communicating with customers.
It quickly became clear the outage was widespread and SDG&E opened its emergency operations center in Kearny Mesa. We did the same at our downtown headquarters. In addition to safely restoring power as quickly as possible, of particular importance to me was communicating with our customers and other key stakeholders throughout the duration of the event.
That Thursday, the SDG&E team worked tirelessly through the night and well into the next day restoring power.
Most of our customers had their power restored by Friday morning. This was a Herculean effort and I'm extremely proud of how our people responded.
Q: SDG&E has asked regulators to approve a $231 million rate increase starting next year. What will customers get in return?
A: Of the three utilities in California, I think our rate request was the least in terms of a percentage increase.
We've tried to invest in technologies that will help improve the long-term efficiency of our operations. So we've had the smart-meter program that basically self-funds by reducing operating costs long term. We've done a lot of things that give customers Web access, an ability to schedule their own appointments, the ability to see if there are outages in their region.

Pawar announces mega plans for mechanisation in 12th Plan
Faced with farm labour shortage following the introduction of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on Wednesday announced mega plans for mechanisation in the 12th Five-Year Plan.
"With the successful implementation of the MGNREGS and other anti-poverty programmes, there is now pressure on the availability of farm labour," Mr. Pawar told senior journalists at the Economic Editors' Conference here.
"While we are attempting to innovatively utilise the MGNREGS for augmenting activities that will directly add to farm productivity, for compensating scarcity of labour, I am proposing a large programme for agricultural mechanisation during the 12th Plan."
Complaint by CMs
During his interactions with Chief Ministers he was faced with a general complaint of non-availability of labour, particularly at the time of sowing and harvesting. "So, in that period, we have to see there is availability of labour and if it is not there, we have to find some alternative mechanism," Mr. Pawar said.
Asked to elaborate the mechanisation plan, he gave the example of a harvester for cane but said if the MGNREGS was linked to agriculture, then it could be a combination of both machine and human work. Mr. Pawar said that despite the vagaries of monsoon, the farm sector achieved a growth rate of 3.2 per cent during the current Plan and was set to record the 4 per cent growth targeted for the next Plan period. Foodgrains production in 2011-12 crop year would surpass the previous year's record of 241.56 million tonnes that included the highest ever output in wheat, pulses, oilseeds and cotton. There were expectations of expansion of the crop area this year and higher rabi output. Kharif paddy production was also slated to be a record.
Ruling out de-control of sugar as it was a "sensitive issue," Mr. Pawar said the Empowered Group of Ministers would on Thursday look at a policy for overall farm exports, and prices of sugar and onion.
Asked specifically about sugar exports, he said there was scope for export as production was expected to be higher than demand. But he favoured exports in small tranches as India's presence in the international market tended to dip prices. "When we enter [the market] to buy, prices shoot up and we are there to sell, prices dip."
To a question on suicide by farmers, Mr. Pawar referred to the Prime Minister's Rs.16,000-crore package for four States and said the crisis had eased.
Asked about genetically modified food crops, he said: "We are cautious and assessing the impact on soil, environment, human beings, birds and water. Only if we come to the conclusion that it is safe, will GM food crops be permitted."

TROUTDALE, Ore. Reynolds High School students and staff, along with other community members, marked the one-week anniversary of a deadly shooting at the school with a candlelight vigil Tuesday night.
Freshman student Emilio Hoffman was killed in the shooting. A teacher was injured when he was grazed by a bullet.
Background: Student killed, teacher wounded at Reynolds High
The vigil started at 9 p.m. on the school's football field. Hundreds of people attended. It was a night for healing and hope, but it was also a night to extend sympathies to both families that lost a son.
Even though the lives that were lost that day are not here with us physically, said student Rosie Reyes, they still remain in our hearts and are still with us here every day.
It was a week some might rather forget, added parent Joe Teeny. To do that, we'd have to forget about Emilio and that just can't happen.

Canada stops restaurants from hiring temporary foreign workers
Published on Apr 25, 2014 9:14 PM
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada will not allow restaurants to hire any more temporary foreign workers until the federal government completes a review of a programme set up as a last resort for employers to fill jobs when no qualified Canadians are available.
The moratorium, which only affects food-service businesses, follows a decision by the Canadian unit of McDonald's Corp earlier this week to suspend all of its applications under the Temporary Foreign Worker Programme. The federal government took the action, announced in a statement late on Thursday, after starting an investigation into alleged abuses of the programme within the food-service industry.
Mr Jason Kenney, the minister for employment and social development, said officials had placed a moratorium on processing new applications from food-service businesses, and it would stop restaurants from hiring workers for unfilled jobs when applications were already approved. Mr Kenny said the government was considering unspecified reforms of the programme to make sure employers recruit and train Canadians for jobs.
"Our government has been clear," he said in the statement."Canadians must have the first chance at available jobs."

I chose these brakes over the standard Bontrager brakes on my Trek Madone. The stopping power and setup are much better. I only wish they offered more colors to match the frame.

Oil down in Asia ahead of US inventory report
SINGAPORE – Oil was down in Asia on Wednesday as caution set into the market ahead of a US crude inventory report, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in May dropped 24 cents to $93.96 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for May delivery shed 12 cents to $106.11.
"Cautious dealers are repositioning themselves for the US inventory report after a rally in prices," Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney, told Agence France-Presse.
"The market has a 'wait-and-see' attitude in the meantime."
Analysts expect the US Department of Energy's weekly petroleum stockpiles report to show another increase in supplies which would mirror weaker demand in the world's biggest economy and put downward pressure on prices.
Prices had risen at the start of the week driven by strong Japanese equities, a subdued inflation report from China and a weaker dollar.
The Chinese government on Tuesday said the country's consumer price index rose 2.1 percent in in March, well below the 10-month-high of 3.2 percent in February and below the 2.4 percent CPI reading forecast by analysts.
The slowdown in inflation eased investor concerns that China — the world's biggest energy consumer — would want to tighten monetary policy.

Sixty-three per cent of Radio 1 listeners over the age of 30 claim to be parents, so there will be a lot of shared listening with teenagers - as any frazzled parent will testify to keeping their offspring happy in the car or kitchen by putting their station of choice on. That issue of shared consumption really messes with judging the success of your brand by average age, just look at the average age of a CBeebies viewer who is 27 years old. So, if you are looking for a better way of assessing whether Radio 1 is successful at attracting 15-29yr olds, maybe you should look at mode, the most common age of a listener, which is 17 years old.
If you choose to watch the soap with your child, you should be willing and able to discuss any issues the programme brings up, including that of sexual violence. If your child is old enough to understand that the implied rape scenes depict a rape, then she is old enough to be taught that rape does not just happen on an unlit path at night.
On 23 October, it will be exactly 30 years since a BBC report alerted the world to a famine in Ethiopia. Michael Buerk's harrowing reports for BBC...
The influx is placing a strain on our healthcare, welfare and housing systems. But there's also arguments that without immigrants our NHS in particular would collapse. Are we a nation of people too good for tough or 'menial' jobs? Or are we just letting in too many people to do them for us?
Your Home In Their Hands has the strutting, pouting, preening Celia Sawyer as its host. Hostess might be more to the point as on first appearance, she looks as if she might show you to your table in a Las Vegas strip club.
The danger BBC news presents isn't in it's actual bias but it's perceived objectivity. As a society we accept and adjust for the editorial standpoints of other news sources but the myth persists that the BBC is to be treated differently...
One of the few positive things to come out of the DLT case is that it should now be widely understood that to grab or seize someone in any physical way under the guise of humour or playfulness is completely unacceptable. And it should be understood that this behaviour is the first rung on the ladder of sexual assault.
Oh, but wait. Bruce Forsyth has left the show. Normally when an older man doesn't return to work, you expect the worst. Or Anton Du Beke as he's generally known. Luckily, they replaced the walking chin with the bouncing fringe Claudia Winkleman.
The good news is that the judges aren't changing. Len, Bruno and Darcy have all had their contracts renewed. Fortunately, so too has Craig Revel Horwood. Darling, it would have been a disaster if he hadn't returned.
I've made my complaint known - via Twitter, via Facebook and via the BBC online complaints system - and I've written this blog. BUT the damage is done. Nothing is going to be able to take away their careless portrayal of EGID to the 5 million who watched Holby City on Tuesday night.
It turned out that Bryan had another album coming out in the New Year, so in true Livvy and Chrissie style - well you have to ask, don't you - we said: "what about US for the next album cover?" Well this is definitely the moment Mr Bryan Ferry showed us why he was called MR.
As a book publicist and marketing strategist, working with authors on press campaigns and book launches, this whole experience raised a lot of interesting questions for me. How much publicity is 'good' publicity? What is 'bad' publicity? Is there too high a price for marketing a book?
Sunday 7 September 2014 saw the launch of Dan P Carter's Radio 1 Rock Show in its new (and brilliantly positioned) Sunday night slot on BBC Radio 1. It's a big statement, and one that should be congratulated, from the most important media outlet for new music in the UK.
There are moments in family life when time seems to stand still, and for me, one of those came in the spring of 2013, when my father Tazi revealed to my mother, my brother and myself that he had been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. New drugs are now coming through and one of them has made an immense difference to my father's quality of life over the last year... Every moment that abiraterone continues to work is a blessing. It has helped him maintain his professional life and continue doing the things he enjoys - so much so that at times I almost forget he has cancer, let alone one that has spread and is at an advanced stage.
The three ably illustrate where we are in the diversity battle, with triumphant progress matched by an unpleasant reminder of a disturbing gap between actuality and attitudes.
In order to fight ISIL on the scale that is required, a coalition is needed between the West and their allies, a task that one would hope is being drafted behind the scenes at the NATO summit as we speak...

Scientists from Griffith University have taken part in an international study which has revealed the genetic secrets of how a small bird can survive in one of the most hostile environments on earth.
The ground tit (Parus humilis), lives in the Tibetan plateau, the largest high-altitude land mass in the world. This study has found molecular signatures in the ground tit genome which reveal how it copes with the extreme living conditions of this habitat.
Professor David Lambert and Dr Sankar Subramanian from Griffith University's Environmental Futures Centre took part in the study.
"We have long known that these birds are well adapted to living with low oxygen levels, typical of high elevation, but until now we have had only a limited understanding of the genetic background of these adaptations," Dr Subramanian said.
"In this study we have identified the genetic modifications of the species which make this possible," he said.
Findings of the study gave been published in a paper entitled "Ground tit genome reveals avian adaptation to living at high altitudes in the Tibetan plateau" in the prestigious journal Nature Communications.
Unlike its tree-dwelling relatives, the drab-coloured little songbird lives exclusively above the tree line at 3,300 to 5,400 m, on rocky steppes and grasslands of the Tibetan plateau. As a consequence of its location, it also behaves differently by foraging on the ground and digging burrows or tunnels for roosting and nesting. It looks different too with a longer, straighter bill, longer legs, larger body size and paler overall plumage.
Because of all these divergent characteristics, the ground tit was long considered to belong to the crow family. Only later was it was shown not to be not the world's smallest corvid, but rather the world's largest tit.
"Our genomic study further confirms this taxonomic conclusion. The ancestor of the ground tit sp

Ricky Barnes said he still owes his newborn daughter a late birthday present.
Perhaps a piece of silver would be appropriate.
Barnes birdied six of the last eight holes Thursday at rain-softened TPC Louisiana to take a one-stroke lead at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, which awards a silver cup to the winner.
Barnes finished the opening round with an eagle, seven birdies and a bogey for an 8-under 64. Boo Weekley and Lucas Glover were a stroke back, and D.A. Points and Morgan Hoffmann shot 66.
"Today it was nice because it was a pretty stress-free round," said Barnes, who did not arrive in New Orleans until late Wednesday afternoon after the birth of his daughter Monday night. "I think I only had to chip once in 18 holes so that's nice."
Guan Tianlang, the 14-year-old Chinese amateur playing on a sponsor exemption, opened with an even-par 72, highlighted by a 5-wood that he hit to a foot on the par-3 17th.
"I think I played pretty good golf," Guan said. "Not the best but I made some ups and downs and a couple birdies."
He tied for 58th in the Masters after becoming the youngest player to make the cut at Augusta National, and said Thursday that he will play in a U.S. Open qualifier in two weeks in Dallas.
Ernie Els and Rickie Fowler head a group of 10 players at 5 under.
Defending champion Jason Dufner shot 70, and 2011 winner Bubba Watson had a 73.
Eighty-four players were at 1 under or better on the rain-softened TPC tract, with 30 players within 4 shots of the lead. Heavy rains that spawned at least two tornadoes in the New Orleans area Wednesday left TPC's normally firm greens soft and defenseless.
Players were allowed to lift clean and place their golf balls in the fairways, which especially benefited the later players after an early mist gave way to sunny and ideal scoring conditions.
Barnes missed the cuts in seven of his last eight events. He jump-started his round with the eagle on the par-5 second hole, hitting a 3-wood from 294 yards to 12 feet.
"That kind of got the round going," he said. "I was 3 under (after a birdie at the fourth) and those are the kind of starts I need."
Barnes birdied the par-5 11th, had four consecutive birdies on Nos. 13-16 and finished with a birdie on the par-5 18th. He hit all 14 fairways in regulation and had 26 putts.
Barnes said a new, albeit unusual, pre-putt routine has helped his focus. He uses a left-hand low grip for the practice stroke and a "claw" grip for the actual stroke.

Kakinada: District Congress Committee president and Zilla Parishad Chairman Ch. Venugopala Krishna was injured in a road accident near Peddapuram when he was going to Rajahmundry by his official vehicle on Monday. His driver M. Venkateswara Rao, gunman Israel Raju and another person Ch. Edukondalu were also injured.
Mr. Venugopala Krishna was discharged after being treated at the government hospital at Peddapuram where he was admitted after the accident. The driver swerved the vehicle to left side of the road to avoid a head-on collision with a motorcycle when three youths going on it tried to overtake a lorry.
The youths – G. Satish, Nazar and Vidya Sagar – were seriously injured after hitting the ZP Chairman's vehicle from behind. They were admitted to Government General Hospital in Kakinada. The condition of one of them is said to be critical.
Peddapuram Circle-Inspector Y. Nagadurga Rao is investigating.

The beats and the intensity in each performer's stare.
Sweating, our backs glued to cloth, necks rubbed red, and strands of hair plastered to our foreheads. Albeit, with the fortune of the group, the late afternoon's sun sunk nearer its horizon, shading the courtyard of the National Museum in Lagos. We were in the Federal Republic of Nigeria seated on plastic chairs, our feet sponging the crabgrass as we rested—patient, content. We waited for the showcase to begin; a showcase for us, the delegates of Global Citizen Journey.
First, our day began in the city of Lagos, the once-capital of the fifth largest country in the world. With an estimated population somewhere between 10 and 15.5 million people, making it the second largest city in Africa (Cairo being number one), we drove across town with the hoards of traffic midst a slow crawl. Buses, vans, sleek black Mercedes with chrome wheels and tinted windows, along with clunking heaps of metal, motto-bikes and foot-traffic allowed time to pass slowly. People moved in all directions, against all civil rules in what often looked like a rumble of rust parts held together by bolts and people. Despite the exodus of everyday Lagos, we reached our three-hour meeting with the precision of planning.
Spinning Straw
Hands were extended as we excitedly greeted the senior management of Chevron Nigeria Ltd., and our attentions spanned, as did the tailored wealth of their headquarter lawns.
Thoughts burrowed deep within a conscious questioning, searching for an understanding of the issues facing the oil-rich region of the Niger Delta. We heard Chevron's proposed programs in order to meet the local's needs, needs that have been ignored, trampled and despoiled among the multinational corporations greed for revenues and demand. Their words were professional, understood to be addressing a group of twenty philanthropic workers. They were shakers of hands, and we met theirs, grateful for the time allotted to us humble seekers. Out the security borders and gated walls, and onward to the beach off Victoria Island for a picnic under the broiler rigged with a steam-pipe. The sun was high, and once cloaked in Nigeria's late afternoon humidity, stuck coarse with white sand, our showcase proceeded; an honorary performance of tribal dances hosted by the National Council for Arts and Culture.
As our bodies re-hydrated to the chilled bottles of Eva, and after our skin was wiped smooth with the slickness of oil, microphones screeched feedback and then
Goddess in Motion
The female body with its grace, its beauty, its flexible movement from hands to feet. Their movements were resounding with a feminine respect.
eased as performers appeared. The claps arose.
Raw. Primitive. Africa. Their dress was a gallant cover of tattered greens and whites, drab in the jungle of shade and shadow. It was black as night. And with each beat—all rhythmic undulations of palms upon pelt—the drummers juiced the notes from the bush with the strength of the coconut husk. The ensemble had their muscles taut, cutting through thick bamboo forests, and within seconds, beads of pearls glistened off their temples, leaking down onto shoulders, arms, and chest, until wrapping their deep brown skin in a glare cast off by the early evening's light. The tissues of their force stuck out like our delegation among Lagos's streets, and like their very own eyeballs lost within the intensity of each beat, we stared at the audacity of their play. Striking the hollow wooden gallons with thick sticks, smiling in unison with the awareness of a ritual hunt, their chants and indigenous cries performed together with an energy that drew us in. We were Americans, lost within their gaze; the music we could have never imagined. And our souls awoke to the ancient mystery of Africa. Together, we went with the flow,
Into the Center
moving like Her, heeding to the melody's call: one with God, with our Creator, with the inestimable gifts of this world—the agriculture, the creatures, their primal hunt.
The song and dance praised an Almighty presence of a higher realm, and welcomed our own—our mission and purpose. As the climax rose, the atmosphere became more intense. The performers' moves, our observations and body's rhythm; all transfixed into a spiritual reverie we were not attune to. This was Africa. This was the Federal Republic of Nigeria and its complexity. This was the heat of Lagos. And this was the music of a native tradition, reverberating into our spine, expanding our cultured nervous system—rising and ever rising—until suddenly breaking with a thud of emphasized strength.
Rhythm slowed. Drummers stood still, wrought with tension, something akin to fear.
An order was commanded by the leader. In the heat of stillness, our breaths held. Four new artists appeared from the sides of the courtyard. They each approached a drum and danced to a revived pulse. They moved through the equatorial bush onto a clearing of thick grass.
Whistles and shouts; the cries of excitement. Our western culture

implemented its signs of enjoyment, while the Nigerians remained silent, calm, yet attune to the authenticity of their art.
Applauding the contrast, the arrivals were bare-chested, groins veiled with a Tarzan loin cloth. Orange and black cut the scene like lightning, and rippled legs flexed their quads like a quenched cloud filled with thunder. Each performer held their passionate solos as if a prized storm showed off its fury, one come to alleviate a drought-stricken land. And each revealed their tense skill while the others paused portraying a musical sympathy.
We heard it.
We felt it.
And once our societal minds succumbed to Nigeria's native expression, the brown bodies before us transformed into enriched ebony. Their arms and torsos crystallized with the solidification of their musical exertion; heaving, bleeding of power, man's force and God's presence radiant. We sunk with the sun; the works of obsidian after the fires of volcanic heat
One performance entitled The Rhythm of Myth seemed to mystify its audience with ineffable beauty. It was an ancient tribal tradition preserved and performed with brilliance. They swung and swirled in grass dress, men and women competing with
Yoruban Dance
Dancing was a mix of pumps, spins, shouts, and leaps across the grassy stage.
their sex's tantalizing, and from outside the tease we couldn't help but stand as darkness overcame, calling for more, cheering with ecstasy. The power, its meanings within the ingenuity, the foreign tongues of Africa's people—each one felt within a location where consciousness supersedes beyond body and mind.
Six performances in all, each one more theatrical, more inspiring, more gallant. The showcase's quest to enact meaning, tradition, and culture into its raw nature was superb, and each followed a different native ethnicity, serving the country's many peoples like the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Ijaw, and others. They pounded their hearts onto the dried skins, opening its pulsating beat to provide us with the great fortune at glimpsing into a world we know least.
The cymbals and shakers. The pounding eardrums. The magic and melody. And the men and women who moved licentiously, pumping limbs, thrusting hip and waist, curving a spine with the desirous smile. Each twist, each squat and bend, the leaps, and the rolls and strides by the Ivory Ambassadors, the Edijo Dance Company, or the Gong Beat Arts and Danzodey@z became erotic, hypnotically displacing sexual tendencies and replacing it instead with an eroticism which perceives the
primitive model of the female energy suppressing its submissive counterpart. The show was Africa; raw, primitive, real in the face of its ancient rites to a rhythmic flow amidst the ebb of origin's tide. Africa; raw, primitive, and it was real.

These Selfies Drawn By Complete Strangers Will Actually Make You Like Selfies
Drawn selfies are the only selfies that matter.
The French Girls app allows you to take selfies and have them drawn by complete strangers. The results are frequently brilliant.
1. Some of them are straightforward caricatures.
6. Some of them speculate about the lifestyle of the selfie taker.
11. Others make very important pop-culture observations.
16. Some are forced to point out the obvious.
20. Or just mess with the person on the other end.
26. And some are just plain adorable.

Viceroy Miami
485 Brickell Avenue, Miami, FL, USA
Neighborhood: Brickell
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
It's almost implicit when you're talking about Miami hotels that you're really talking about Miami Beach, and most often South Beach in particular. So it may bear some spelling out: the Viceroy is in downtown Miami — as in, on the mainland, surrounded by tall buildings, trading easy beach access for an urban setting that South Beach decidedly lacks.
The bold design is by Kelly Wearstler, who's become something of a defining presence in the sunny SoCal/South Florida resort world. This is the new American design hotel: neither empty and minimal nor hard and angular, it's lavish and comfortable, with more than a touch of antique fantasy. The actual physical luxuries don't hurt either, from furnished kitchens and espresso machines to iPod docking stereos and soaking tubs.
There's a two-acre pool deck on the 15th floor, proof that city life doesn't have to be claustrophobic, and the Philippe Starck–designed spa and wellness center aren't much smaller than that. A pair of bright and airy restaurants — one a casual café and the other offering contemporary American fare along with views of Biscayne Bay — comprise the dining options, and a 50th-floor lounge has its own private pool with a view of the city. It's massive, stylish, and plush, and quite possibly enough to lure the South Beach crowd back to the heart of the city.

What I liked:
not much. The staff and the front desk weren't helpful. I asked for a restaurant recommendation and they directed me to a mall with chain restaurants forgetting to mention cipriani was close by!
What the hotel could do better:
It was raining and the cab couldn't drop me off I nearly fell on the path in as it was awash with water. The cab couldn't get into the shelter as it was completely jammed. not enough valets or people to take luggage. The nearest door to me was locked. When I pointed this out they looked at me as if I had landed from the moon. then the bar restaurant was shut but the roof top was to wet to get to the cafe safely. I complained and eventually they opened it up.

It happened last week, when I asked Orange County lawmakers what they thought about the governor's proposal to ban fundraising during certain parts of the year. Repeatedly, lawmakers told me the solution was more disclosure.
"Full and timely disclosure ⦠will do more to keep the system clean than modifying the time during which contributions are made," Assemblywoman Mimi Walters said in a typical response.
But is real time disclosure or additional reporting really the answer? California already has one of the nation's toughest disclosure laws and anyone interested in reviewing the records can easily be buried in an avalanche of data.
In fact, campaign finance experts in California and across the country told me increased disclosure may actually further obscure the influence of money in politics.
"It's a forest and trees kind of issue," said Doug Heller of the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights in Santa Monica. "When you're investigating campaign interests, you want to see trees. But with disclosure, you're creating a black forest."
Heller was careful to say he strongly supports disclosure because it allows you to figure out which special interests are buying influence. But he added it doesn't stop wrongdoing.
"One of the reasons I know disclosure is problematic is because it's what all the politicians want," Heller said.
State law requires campaigns to report the name, address, occupation and employer of anyone who contributes $100 or more. Candidates must file regular reports, and close to an election, contributions of $1,000 or more must be reported within 24 hours.
The law is so stringent that it was ranked best in the nation by a group of academics and think tanks in 2005.
"It's a good law," said Bob Stern of the Center for Governmental Studies, who helped with the study. "There's some tweaking that could be done, but not that much more."
The law, however, has created an imposing mountain of records. I recently requested a copy of Secretary of State's entire campaign finance and lobbying database, from 1999 to the beginning of this year, and the CD I received contained dozens of tables with hundreds of thousands, even millions, of rows. It contains more than 350 million pieces of data.
Disclosure is based on the notion that voters can watch the money and the actions of their representatives and decide for themselves whether lawmakers are being unduly influenced. But, as any reporter will tell you, the amount of records makes that difficult.
And with a limited number of people doing this work, experts say the irony is disclosure may wind up helping lawmakers hide in plain sight.
"The average citizen is not going to take the time to dig through thousands of campaign records looking for that needle in a haystack," said Massie Ritsch, spokesman for the Center for Responsive Politics in Washington, D.C. "If you're going to have more disclosure, you have to also make sure somebody is watching."

Lindsay Lohan and the case of Liz Taylor's purportedly pilfered bracelet

Here it is less than two weeks into 2013, and stories of Lindsay Lohan's supposedly sticky fingers are once again making the rounds. This latest tale comes courtesy of Radar Online, which claims that during the filming of her Lifetime movie-slash-drinking game "Liz & Dick," LiLo walked off with a bracelet that once belonged to Elizabeth Taylor herself.
Lohan's camp adamantly denies the allegations, which go like this: During production, Lindsay became friendly with Taylor's longtime nurse, who kindly showed her the "expensive" bauble given to her by the late legend.
"Lindsay immediately fell in love with the bracelet the minute she saw it, and was very vocal about how much she admired it," contends a source. "A short time later, the bracelet disappeared from the nurse's house … on the very same day Lindsay had been to visit."
According to Radar, the nurse called and confronted Lohan, who, just as she did when she was accused of trashing the trailer Taylor used during "Cleopatra," denied everything.
"In the end, it took over a week to get the bracelet back from Lindsay, and it was only returned after the nurse threatened to call the cops," maintains the insider. "One of Lindsay's people eventually returned the bracelet to the nurse, who was extremely upset about what had transpired."
And so, it seems, was Lohan, who is facing the possibility of an extended stint in the pokey for violating her probation in a 2011 necklace theft. The spy says she texted the nurse the following message of disapproval: "Elizabeth would be very upset with how you are behaving."
Perhaps Lindsay isn't getting enough oxygen given how far up her own butt she appears to be living, but considering that the producers of "Million Dollar Decorator" reportedly wanted to repossess the furniture and flooring they provided for a makeover of her now for-rent Beverly Hills mansion, at least it's a cheap place for her to stay.
Meanwhile, has Lindsay watched "Ocean's Thirteen" one too many times? Radar also alleges that she had a grand plan to keep the bracelet for her very own by replacing the Liz original with a counterfeit copy. She supposedly roped in a jeweler to help with the scheme.
"Lindsay wanted the jeweler to reproduce a fake replica of the bracelet," asserts a source, "and she planned on giving that one back to the nurse. Lindsay planned on keeping the original and bragged to friends about her brilliant plan. However, the plan was thwarted when the nurse demanded that Lindsay return the treasured piece or she was going to the cops."
A Lohan confidant, however, insists the case of the purloined bracelet is "absolutely not true." The onetime actress is due back in court on Jan. 15.
Will Lindsay's club case be dropped?

NEW YORK ( AppreciateGold.com) -- Gold has finally broken out if its recent range Tuesday. Gold futures for April delivery are trading up $15.10 as of this writing at $1593.20 per ounce.
After trading in a range from $1,559ish to $1,585ish, gold has finally chosen a near-term direction after breaching overhead resistance at $1,585. This breach has clearly triggered numerous buy-stops thus driving price higher.
The bears were simply not able to extend the recent swing lows in gold, and thus the stage is now set for some potential upside as shorts are forced to cover. $1,619ish on the daily chart looks to be the next immediate target. A close above the psychologically important $1,600 level may attract further buying interest as well adding fuel to the rally.
Gold bulls will be watching the U.S. Dollar Index (USD) for any signs of weakness. The persistent strength in the greenback has helped keep a lid on gold prices but the euro currency thus far has not been able to make a meaningful break below the key 1.30 level.Source: QST One has to question how much more the dollar may have in the tank. Should some weakness set in that would likely also fuel a rally in bullion prices. Price action thus far today in outside markets has a bit of a "risk-off" smell to it as bonds and notes trade higher and the S&P 500 futures are trading slightly lower.

iHub Research is launching a new seminar series exploring the Technological, Economic, Political and Social Implications of New Technologies and Communications in Africa and other parts of the world.
The seminar has two key objectives:
1) To give researchers helpful feedback on their own projects
2) To bring researchers working in disparate fields and sectors together for interesting discussions and collaboration.
We welcome participants from all research backgrounds working in Kenya or East Africa. University students and staff, independent researchers, NGO/UN researchers and government researchers are all welcome to attend and present. We also welcome researchers at all stages of their projects; those seeking guidance at the start of fieldwork, those mid-way through projects wanting fresh eyes on preliminary findings and those whose work is more polished, seeking engagement with other researchers and stakeholders. Government stakeholders, Entrepreneurs, Techies and other individuals with interests in these technologies and communications are also invited to attend.
Themes may include:
- New economic practices and processes of innovation around technological change.
- Impact of Open and Big Data on Research Processes and Understandings.
- Information Communication Technologies for Development (health, education, environment).
- The implications of E-government.
- The implications of E-Learning.
- Past and current aspects of control over and use of new technologies.
- Dangers and threats posed by new technologies.
- New Technologies, material culture and print media.
- The relationships between newly introduced technologies and existing technologies.
- Patterns of communication and imagined social, economic and political identities.
- The role of technologies in the territorialization and de-territorialization of geographic and economic space.
Please get in contact with Gladys at email@example.com if you are interested in presenting.
Register here to attend the event.

Postwar drama 'Emperor' could use more Tommy Lee Jones
In "Emperor," Tommy Lee Jones plays Gen. Douglas MacArthur coordinating the reconstruction of Japan after the devastation caused by the atomic bomb at the end of World War II.
But the story is really about one of MacArthur's aides, played by Matthew Fox, of "Lost." By day, he is trying to determine whether Emperor Hirohito, considered a god by his people, should be tried for war crimes. But by night, he is haunted by memories of a Japanese girl he met and fell in love with before the war, and he embarks on a personal secret mission to find her. »Read Full Article
