United States Retains Walker Cup at National
The National Golf Links of America in Southampton welcomed the 44th Walker Cup Match over the weekend, an event that was first played at National in March of 1922. The United States team, comprised of some of the best amateur players in the country, dominated singles play both Saturday and Sunday and defeated Great Britain and Ireland, 17-9, to regain the coveted Walker Cup.
"It's something I have been wanting for a long, long time, particularly after we lost in 2011," US Captain Jim Holtgrieve said.
The Walker Cup Match is a men's amateur team competition played every other year, with one squad from the USA and the other representing England, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
Nathan Smith, a mid-amateur who last won a big tournament locally when he took the US Mid-Amateur title at the Atlantic Golf Club in Bridgehampton in 2010, clinched the 14th and decisive match with a 4-3 win over Nathan Kimsey.
"This ranks at the top of the list," said Smith of winning the clinching point. "I never wanted a point so much in my life."
The team's other mid-amateur, 45-year-old high school teacher Todd White, won his match over Rhys Pugh, one of Great Britain and Ireland's star players, for the team's 13th point.
Bobby Wyatt, one of three US players from the University of Alabama, won his foursomes and singles matches on Sunday and was undefeated for the match, earning a team-high 3 ½ points. Also earning an undefeated mark for the US was Michael Kim, who was 3-0 over the weekend.
Two weeks before the tournament, the American team gathered at National for a weekend of practice rounds. The results showed this past weekend.
"They adapted to the conditions a little bit better—the greens changed and there were very, very severe pin positions," Great Britain and Ireland Captain Nigel Edwards said. "They holed out a little bit better and I would say the short shots into the green, the distance control, that's where they outdid us."
The 45th Walker Cup Match will be played at Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, England on September 12 and 13, 2015.

Why you let these hoes tear what we had right apart
from Big Sean (Ft. Jhené Aiko & Lil Wayne) – Beware Lyrics on Genius
As Sean says on "Memories":
Are you willing to give up what you love for who you love
Or lose your girlfriend to groupie love
This line also has a double meaning. In the song, they sing "hoes" so that it also sounds like "holes" (referencing the figurative bullet holes from the line above).

I've often heard the saying, "Everything's equal at the foot of the cross." In the last 3 weeks, I've discovered this is true for a chemo room, too. Long story short, I'm severely anemic, and have been receiving iron infusions. I received (hopefully) my last treatment yesterday. Without boring you with the details, 12 is "normal low. I'm up to 9.5 (Yippeeee!) and believing for a 12 in the next few weeks. 15 is the norm.
At this point, I don't even care about my hemoglobin counts. After spending 3 consecutive weeks at my onocolgist's chemo room for 5+ hours at a time, I'm much more interested in telling you about the sweet people I observed or met when I was there.
Out of the 24 or so chairs, there were only a couple of us there for something other than the "C" word. Sobering, to say the least. These precious people were there fighting for their lives!! To my right was Gloria, who quickly became my favorite! She's fighing breast cancer. Mike was across from me. He's a fisherman. He has a trip planned to fish off the coast of Autrailia later this year. The cancer is in his brain. I'm praying he gets to make that trip. Mary, to my left was diagnosed with breast cancer the week before Father's Day of this year. They've now found a spot in her lung. Steve, a 26 year old country boy, was celebrating his last day of chemo. Celebrating with him, was his mom who was passing out grapes, cheese & crackers. Her gift of hospitality brought a smile to the room. And then there was Mary, an oncology nurse, who had full knowledge of this journey since most of her adult life, she's been the one administering the meds.
I didn't have a chance to meet the folks in the adjoining room, but from where I sat I saw an older gentleman who looked to be the literary type; perhaps a college professor as he appeared to be grading papers. Across from him was a very young woman, who was obviously married because she gazed and held her wedding band as the chemo began to flow through her IV for the first time. Her husband sat on a stool at her feet for the duration. Next to her was a true Hepburn. A gorgeous lady with an IV port inserted just below her pearls. I watched her for a long time. Oh, the grace that she exhibited; and I'm fairly certain she had received it too. There was a peace about her that was apparent.
I loved hearing their stories. They inspired me with their strength. They stirred places in my heart that hadn't been exposed since my own father passed away with cancer. Yet even so, I sat with a prayer on my lips thanking God for walking me down this path, if only for a few weeks. I felt guilty. And I told them so. They're response? "Sweetheart, your anemia is just as important as what we're going through." Because my condition is not life-threatening, I felt like John in someways….when he got to see a glimpse of Heaven. Yes, I know that sounds absolutely crazy that I'd compare a chemo room to Heaven, but it's true. I saw a glimpse of a life that most of us -Praise Jesus – dont' get to see. An altered perspective; a healthier one, for sure! At the very least, I did see a picture of the true church. Love & Service.
In Beth Moore's Daniel Bible Study, there was a particular week that I will always remember as long as I live. It was talking about the 3 scenarios that we can experience as believers when we face fiery trials.
When facing a trial or fire, we'll either….
-Be delivered from the fire, and our faith will be built.
-Be delivered through the fire, and our faith will be refined.
-Be delivered by the fire into His arms, and our faith will be perfected.
Statistics and logic tell me that of the people I've met the last 3 weeks, some will be delivered from the fire. Some will be delivered through it. And others will be made perfect.
My prayer is that each one of them know Him. I am utterly convinced that God is much more interested in healing our hearts before our bodies. My prayer is that you know Him too. Because no matter what life deals us, in the end…. We win! The battle has already been won.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39.

Nuclear power is neither safe nor clean. There is no such thing as a "safe" dose of radiation and just because nuclear pollution is invisible doesn't mean it's "clean."
Take action right now and tell the President that taxpayers should not take on the risk of building new nuclear plants.
If a meltdown were to occur, the accident could kill and injure tens of thousands of people, leaving large regions uninhabitable. And, more than 50 years after splitting the first atom, science has yet to devise a method for adequately handling long lived radioactive wastes.
For years nuclear plants have been leaking radioactive waste from underground pipes and radioactive waste pools into the ground water at sites across the nation. In addition to being extremely dangerous, the continued greenwashing of nuclear power from industry-backed lobbyists diverts investments away from clean, renewable sources of energy. In contrast to nuclear power, renewable energy is both clean and safe. Technically accessible renewable energy sources are capable of producing six times more energy than current global demand.
If the nuclear industry and Wall Street financiers are unwilling to assume the economic risk of constructing new nuclear power plants, why should the American taxpayer?
The Department of Energy compared nuclear construction cost estimates to the actual final costs for 75 reactors. The original cost estimate was $45 billion. The actual cost was $145 billion! Forbes magazine recognized that this "failure of the U.S. nuclear power program ranks as the largest managerial disaster in business history, a disaster of monumental scale." Read more
The Cold War may be over, but this does not mean nuclear weapons have disappeared. Far from it: There are almost 36,000 nuclear weapons in the world, thousands on hair-trigger alert, with more than a third of them ready to launch at a moment's notice, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Over 400 reactors in warships and nuclear submarines are still circling the globe. Read more
From the dawn of the nuclear age, it has been recognized that nuclear power and nuclear weapons are inextricably linked. The spread of nuclear technology and ultimately nuclear weapons undermines our national security and the security of the planet. Add to that the very real risks of nuclear meltdown. If a meltdown were to occur, the accident could kill and injure tens of thousands of people, leaving large regions uninhabitable. Read more
Greenpeace has been shouting about nuclear dangers for nearly forty years, beginning on September 15, 1971, when the Greenpeace founders protested U.S. nuclear testing. Since then we have campaigned against both nuclear weapons and nuclear power by bearing witness in test zones, supplying scientific research and by conducting direct non-violent actions to call attention to the problem.

'Cake Boss' star Buddy Valastro is now TLC's 'Bakery Boss'Add to Favorites | Bakery Boss
Whether it's from the economy, the courts or the government, America's family-run small businesses are taking it on the chin these days. Once a mainstay of society, they're slowly (quickly, in some places) disappearing right when the stability and jobs they provide are most needed.
There are shows out there to fix hair salons, nail salons, restaurants and bars, and now New Jersey baker Buddy Valastro of TLC's hit "Cake Boss" has taken up the challenge of saving 12 family bakeries in Texas, Florida and Massachusetts.
Premiering Monday, Dec. 2 at 10 p.m. (ET/PT) on TLC, "Bakery Boss" sends Valastro to struggling neighborhood pastry shops on the verge of collapse.
Asked why he would want to take on another TV show -- in addition to running his own family business, Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, N.J. -- Valastro tells Zap2it, "I'm helping people out. I'm giving back; I'm doing the right thing. I'm not going to say that it's good for my wife or my schedule, but I do it because I care. I do it for the fans.
"You know what, at the end of the day, the bakery business has been so good to me and my family all these years, I feel like it's my way of giving back. So it's really heartfelt and touching to me to be able to go in these bakeries.
"Everything I film, it shows what my passion's about; the show really shows me being me. If you watch it, there's a lot of heart. You'll understand."
For the first episode, though, Valastro sticks a little closer to home. In "Violet's Bake Shop," a Hungarian-themed business in the New York borough of Queens desperately needs an update, but the owner resists allowing her son to make any changes.
At one point, Valastro forces her to watch as her red velvet cake loses more than once in a taste test with a one from a supermarket.
"Some people," Valastro says, "you have to show them why it works. 'I'm going to bring your cake and let people taste it and tell you why it sucked, and maybe you'll believe them, if you don't believe me.'"
Because, after all, if everything was hunky-dory at a bake shop, the owners wouldn't be calling in Buddy Valastro.
"People are set in their ways," Valastro says, "and they're not willing to change. It's part of why they're calling me, because if they were doing fine, I wouldn't be there.
"That's always my answer, 'You called me. I didn't come here because i wanted to. I came here because you needed help.'"
And sometimes, it's not the baked goods that need the help, it's the family making them.
"Some of problems were family issues," says Valastro. "People just couldn't get along in a family dynamic. I was more like Dr. Phil than Buddy the Baker."

Eagles coach Kelly names Vick starting QBBy DAN GELSTON
the associated press | August 21,2013AP PHOTO
Philadelphia Eagles Michael Vick passes during the first half of a preseason NFL game against the Carolina Panthers, Thursday, Aug. 15 in Philadelphia.PHILADELPHIA Eagles first-year coach Chip Kelly has named veteran Michael Vick Philadelphias starting quarterback.
Vick has been solid in two preseason games, and backup Nick Foles, in his second season with the Eagles, has struggled to grasp Kellys multifaceted offense.
Vick has thrown for 199 yards this preseason and will take a 113.2 quarterback rating into Fridays game at Jacksonville (0-2).
`Hes our starter for the season, Kelly said. Its not a one-game trial basis.
There wasnt a lot of suspense with Kellys decision, which was announced after practice on Tuesday, and after the coach met with both players.
Foles has been sacked six times in two games, and has a quarterback rating of 65.5, after showing flashes as a rookie last season while Vick was injured.
Vick played in just 10 games last season, while Foles topped 340 yards twice as a rookie.
The Eagles (1-1) are coming off a 4-12 season, coach Andys Reids last, and havent made the playoffs since they won the NFC East at the end of the 2010 season. Philadelphia opens the regular season at Washington Sept. 9.
We had a good amount of tape, a good amount of us seeing them on the field, Kelly said. And seeing them in a lot of different situations, and wanted to put a guy in place, if we could, in enough time to get us to prepare the season.
Kelly has only shown flashes of his up-tempo offense in the first two preseason games and defenses already seem tired and confused while the Eagles are moving the ball with ease. The first-team offense led by Vick and Foles has four touchdowns on eight-plus possessions in two games. One drive ended with an end-zone interception and two others ended with fumbles.
Vick had a breakout year under coach Andy Reid in 2010, leading the Eagles to the division title, winning The Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year award and starting in the Pro Bowl. But hes battled injuries and inconsistency the last two years.
The 33-year-old Vick sustained a concussion in Week 10 last year and Reid decided to let Foles play the rest of the way because the Eagles were in last place on their way to a 4-12 finish.
Vick returned to start the season finale against the New York Giants because Foles was hurt. He finished the year with 2,362 yards passing, 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, and also lost five fumbles.
I think Mike is ahead right now. I think Nick made it very difficult, Kelly said. It wasnt where one guy went north and the other guy went south. I think both of them upped their games.
But at this point in time Mikes ahead.

INTERESTING STUFF: 24 November 2012
Oh, you're gonna love this. No more words – just watch.
This is wildly inventive, clever and hilarious. It takes not one, but two of these guys, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, to do an impression of President Barack Obama.
That's because while Peele plays the president's public self we are all accustomed to, Key becomes Luther, Obama's anger translator or, you could say, his id. Take a look at the election victory sketch:
The president has seen clips of the comedy team's impression of him and obviously likes it. Last spring, Key and Peele got to meet Obama in person and hang out for about 10 minutes:
"[Obama] was super-funny," said Peele, 33, of their brief rendezvous in Hollywood. "And then, about the impression, he goes, 'Uh, check this out, because I do a pretty good impression of me, too.' He was killing us. He did not shy away from the comedy with us."
Key & Peele is broadcast on Comedy Central on Wednesdays. And, you can find more Key and Peele past presidential sketches here.
As people are wont to do on the intertubes, someone matched old footage of people dancing the Charleston with some very modern punk music – and it syncs amazingly well. Watch:
You can see the dance video with its original music here. (Hat tip to doctafil of Jive Chalkin')
There hasn't been much reason to watch the Tonight Show for a long time and Jay Leno sealed that deal for me with this horribly inappropriate joke that conflated a sleazy sex scandal with Ambassador Susan Rice:
Medicare announced this week that the 2013 premium for Part B coverage will increase from $99.90 to $104.90. This will eat up about 25 percent of the average Social Security cost-of-living increase for 2013. (For most of us, Part B premiums are deducted from Social Security benefits.)
Also, the deductible for Part B medical services increases too – from $140 to $147. All the more reason we – elders – must fight against cuts to Social Security and Medicare that Republicans want in exchange for avoiding the fiscal cliff.
There will be lots more information here next week about what we can each do to help that effort.
Hurricane Sandy produced many heroes and at least one of them in New York City has four legs:
Well, this has played repeatedly just about everywhere for the past week so you have probably seen it but I'm publishing it today anyway because it makes me laugh. Governor Chris Christie dropped by Saturday Night Live last weekend:
There was a report a couple of days ago that Christie has finally taken off his fleece jacket and his wife, who heads up a relief effort in New Jersey, is thinking of auctioning it to raise more money for hurricane victims.
For those of you who are as light in foreign languages as I am, that is the Spanish translation of The Typewriter, a light classical piece by American composer Leroy Anderson. In this video it is performed by Voces para La Pas Musicos Solidarios:
Composer Anderson, who died in 1975, wrote some other works you might recognize - Sleigh Ride and The Syncopated Clock, for example. (Hat tip to Darlene Costner of Darlene's Hodgepodge)
The cat's person left this note on the video's YouTube page:
"I took this video the day after we adopted him. Since he is completely blind (born without formed eyeballs), we gave him some balls with bells inside. As you can tell, he can 'see' them by using his ears! He is such a happy and inspiring cat - we are blessed to have him with us."
(Hat tip to Bev Carney)

Loved the dance video
superb selection, Ronni, many thanks.
Although I think some of the things Christie has done and said are just plain stupid, you can't help but like the guy. He has a sense of humor and that's rare in a politician.
I work with the Foundation for Blind Children here in Phoenix (I am their toylady) and wish that the preschoolers could SEE the blind kitty Oskar playing with his jingly balls! It is also AMAZING to watch how these infants, toddlers and preschoolers play despite being visually impaired. They love the jingle balls, too, and roll them down the pathways in a big marble run, following them as they move down.
Smiles, laughs, and a few tears. What more could we want on a Saturday morning.
Loved the Typewriter - remember it being performed years ago but this is so much funnier!!
Loved The Typewriter video. My adult tap group is dancing to that song in the recital this spring. So much fun! Thanks for sharing.
