Tequesta Country Club redesigns course for the future
TEQUESTA - A third generation golf club designer, Tom Fazio II, is ready to complete a project at Tequesta Country Club that he began several years ago.
"Creating a more naturalistic setting is what we've been experimenting with for the past five years," said Fazio II. "We want to be more focused on agronomy to create a softer look. More like it was back in the fifties," said Fazio. " After testing and learning which plants will accomplish this while requiring lower maintenance, we're ready to proceed."
Fazio started the basic project by creating new black tees which has expanded the course by about 350 yards. In addition, he has added bunkers and created several brand new greens as well as re-contouring all of the greens.
Tequesta Country Club plans to lead the way in the direction of a more naturalistic setting, which is where the national golf industry is heading. "We'll be closing the golf course from May through the end of October to re-grass the entire course," said Mark Badertscher, operation manager. " The re-grassing will start by getting rid of the organic layer, directly under the sod. We've already completed a new pump station in preparation for the irrigation system. "
To accommodate both golf and social membership, the club house will maintain the usual summer programs of dining, special events and tennis. For golfers, a reciprocal play arrangement has been set up at other courses within the area.
"The biggest focus for the future is to create a challenging course that requires less management and maintenance. The membership and demographics have to be a frame of reference for future plans," said Fazio. "Too many radical changes and they'll be unhappy. One of the biggest changes that everyone seems to approve of has been moving the black tees. This has increased the length of the course from 6500 to 6850. Although it's still a 71 par, it plays longer than the score card due to most of the length being in the par fours. But what really added length to the course was adding the new tees about 25 yards behind the existing back tees it put the landing zones back where the original designer, Dick Wilson, intended prior to new equipment and ball improvement."
Fazio's accomplishments at Tequesta Country Club have already been noted and approved by the membership as well as visiting golfers.

South Florida Ecosystem:
Some Restoration Progress Has Been Made, but the Effort Faces Significant Delays, Implementation Challenges, and Rising Costs

The South Florida ecosystem covers about 18,000 square miles, and is home to the Everglades, one of the world's unique environmental resources. Historic efforts to redirect the flow of water through the ecosystem have jeopardized its health and reduced the Everglades to about half of its original size. In 1993, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization's World Heritage Committee (WHC) added Everglades National Park (Park) to its List of World Heritage in Danger sites. In 2000, a strategy to restore the ecosystem was set; the effort was expected to take at least 40 years and cost $15.4 billion. It comprises 222 projects, including 60 key projects known as the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), to be undertaken by a multiagency partnership. This testimony is based on GAO's May 2007 report, South Florida Ecosystem: Restoration Is Moving Forward, but Is Facing Significant Delays, Implementation Challenges, and Rising Costs, and a review of WHC decision documents relating to the Park's listing. This statement addresses the (1) status of projects implemented (2) status of projects key to improving the health of the Park, (3) project sequencing factors, and (4) funding provided for the effort and extent to which costs have increased.
Of the restoration effort's 222 projects, 43 have been completed, 107 are being implemented, and 72 are in design, in planning, or are not yet started. The completed and ongoing projects will provide improved water quality and water flow within the ecosystem and additional habitat for wildlife. According to restoration officials, significant progress has been made in acquiring land, constructing water quality projects, and restoring a natural water flow to the Kissimmee River--the headwater of the ecosystem. Many of the policies, strategies, and agreements required to guide the restoration in the future are also now in place. However, the 60 CERP projects, which are the most critical to the restoration's overall success, are among those that are currently being designed, planned, or have not yet started. Some of these projects are behind schedule by up to 6 years. Florida recently began expediting the design and construction of eight key projects, with the hope that they would immediately benefit the environment, enhance flood control, and increase water supply, thus providing further momentum to the restoration. In 2006, the WHC adopted several key benchmarks that if met would facilitate removal of the Everglades National Park from its List of World Heritage in Danger sites. As noted by WHC, achievement of these benchmarks was linked to the implementation of nine key restoration projects. However, only one of these projects has been completed, four are currently being implemented and four are currently being designed. Moreover, the benefits of these projects will not be available for many years because most of the projects are scheduled for completion between 2011 and 2035. There are no overarching sequencing criteria that restoration officials use when making implementation decisions for all 222 projects that make up the restoration effort. Instead, decisions for 162 projects are driven largely by the availability of funds. There are regulatory criteria to ensure that the goals and purposes of the 60 CERP projects are achieved in a cost effective manner. However, the 2005 sequencing plan developed for these projects is not consistent with the criteria because some of the data needed to fully apply these criteria were not available. Therefore, there is little assurance that the plan will be effective. GAO recommended that the agencies obtain the needed data and then comprehensively reassess the sequencing ofthe CERP projects. From fiscal years 1999 through 2006, the federal government contributed $2.3 billion and Florida contributed $4.8 billion, for a total of about $7.1 billion for the restoration. However, federal funding was about $1.4 billion short of the funds originally projected for this period. In addition, the total estimated costs for the restoration have increased by 28 percent--from $15.4 billion in 2000 to $19.7 billion in 2006 because of project scope changes, increased construction costs, and higher land costs. More importantly, these cost estimates do not represent the true costs for the overall restoration effort because they do not include all cost components for a number of projects.

BOSTON –– Aaron Cook claims he wasn't worried about his rotation spot. But in reality, the sinkerballer was pitching for his starter's job in Monday's 9-2 win over the Rangers. During his past two starts, Cook was mired in a rut, failing to advance past the fifth inning while surrendering six runs apiece. With Franklin Morales breathing down his neck to re-join the starting staff, the pressure to perform was on Cook. While he seemingly preserved his position, Cook said he never once lost confidence. "It didn't really pop into my mind," Cook said. "I felt like the last couple...

I want to migrate the document library of GroupWise to SharePoint. I have no idea how I can make this migration. I have around 300 users and I should also take care of user permissions. My idea was to export the documents of each user into a folder with user name and the upload them to SharePoint for every user. The problem is that there are so many data and data duplicity would take so much space in vain. Do you have any other idea how could I make this migration? Please answer or comment whatever you think, since I guess there is no wrong answer.

Darnell Dockett Calls AJ McCarron 'Sissy Boy' Over Katherine Webb Twitter Beef, Challenges Him to Boxing Match
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 2/5/13
Blame Brent Musberger for the ongoing war of words between Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Darnell Dockett and Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback AJ McCarron. The two athletes first started bickering when Dockett tweeted his phone number to McCarron's girlfriend, Katherine Webb, on the night of the BCS National Championship game after Musberger had already made her an internet sensation. Now Dockett won't stop harassing McCarron. Dockett's latest tweet has him resorting to name calling. The 31-year-old 290-pound NFL player also challenged the 210-pound McCarron to a fight. Aye sissy boy @10AJMcCarron lets go boxing. Great way to stay in shape , you down?— DARNELL DOCKETT (@ddockett) February 05, 2013 McCarron didn't take too kindly to the challenge, and pulled the age-old "scoreboard" defense. @ddockett

Press for Demandware
Demandware, Inc., a global leader in on-demand ecommerce, today announced that leading running company Brooks Sports, Inc., has taken its ecommerce site to the next level with its updated online retail store http://www.brooksrunning.com built on the Demandware® Commerce platform.
If there's such a thing as an "off season'' in the region's innovation economy, it transpired this past week. Out-going voice mail messages suggested getting in touch via e-mail, and e-mails generated an automatic "Out of Office'' reply. But there's no better time than the off-season to analyze individual players, and the long stretch of games ahead. Here's my take on the people, companies, and technologies that will be making news in 2011.
Demandware, Inc., the global leader in on-demand ecommerce, today announced that Jewelry Television® (JTV), within one year of launching its successful ecommerce site, unveiled its mobile ecommerce site that leverages the Demandware Commerce platform to create a seamless shopping experience for its customers no matter where they go.
Demandware, Inc., the global leader in on-demand ecommerce, today announced that Rockport, a leading brand within the adidas portfolio and manufacturer of stylish and walkable footwear for metropolitan professionals worldwide, has selected Demandware® Commerce as its new ecommerce platform.

Larynx cancer patients treated with alternating cycles of chemotherapy and radiation have similar outcomes to patients treated with chemotherapy followed by radiation, according to data from a randomized controlled trial in the January 27 online issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Previous trials in patients with locally advanced larynx cancer showed that chemotherapy followed by radiation was as effective as total removal of the larynx, known as laryngectomy, in terms of overall and disease-free survival and that this sequential therapy provided better quality of life. Subsequent trials indicated that concurrent administration of chemotherapy and radiation resulted in a statistically significant improvement in larynx preservation but was associated with more serious acute toxicity and possibly long term side effects.
To try to improve patient survival without increasing side effects, Jean Lefebvre, M.D., of the Centre Oscar Lambret in Lille, France, and colleagues in the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer enrolled 450 patients with larynx or hypopharynx cancer in a randomized controlled trial. Patients received either chemotherapy followed by radiation or alternating cycles of radiation and chemotherapy.
With a median follow-up of 6.5 years, there was no significant difference in clinical outcomes between the two treatment groups. Larynx preservation, overall survival, and progression-free survival were similar for patients treated with sequential and alternating chemotherapy and radiation.
"The aim of our trial was to identify a regimen that would mimic concomitant chemotherapy and radiotherapy without its increased toxic effects," the authors write. "Although we achieved the latter goalefficacy was not improved." Given the results of this and several other recently-completed trials, the authors conclude that an optimal approach for larynx-preserving therapy has not been

There are growing fears that market data vendors and their networks may face capacity problems due to a sharp increase in derivatives market data traffic caused by jumps in price updates and data feeds from exchanges.With data traffic rates for November growing by nearly 50% on the previous year and set to grow further during 2003, according to the US data industry body, Financial Information Forum, data vendors are faced with the prospect of expensive network upgrades to cope with current and future data levels during a period of tight spending, with little prospect of financial gain.
"The technical cost of managing and distributing the tremendous amounts of market data being generated… can no longer be taken as a given," said Richard Gissing, managing director of UK-based market data software vendor Mighter Gissing. "Both the vendors and the market players are undertaking very serious cost/benefit analyses on the distribution of equity derivatives market data to their global client base."
One of the main causes of concern is the burgeoning equity derivatives market, where market makers generate prices to exchanges based on movements in the market, and also on movements in the underlying equities. "Equity derivatives have definitely been one of the main drivers behind the growth in contributed data volumes during 2002," said Gissing.
Industry participants have to accommodate large numbers of derivatives instruments, listed on multiple exchanges. "If Microsoft stock moves, [as many as] 500 options have to update," said Andrew Murphy, a London-based senior consultant at PA Consulting. "It's a big problem limited to a small number of US equity options exchanges," he said, citing the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Amex, the Pacific Exchange and the International Securities Exchange (ISE). Due to the sheer number of option instruments, these five generate half of all data carried by US vendors, he added.
A spokesperson for ISE paints the exchanges as victims of their own success. "We try to be as prudent as possible with our quoting," said an ISE spokesperson. "We would support reforms to address the capacity issues and implement quote mitigation solutions. But information is being generated, the market needs information… and the market always finds a balance sooner or later," the spokesperson said, adding that the exchanges and the Options Price Reporting Association (Opra) have done their part by already expanding capacities in recent years to cope with the derivatives growth.
Also to blame is the decimalisation of the US equity markets. Before the conversion to decimals in 2001, the smallest price change possible was one-sixteenth of a dollar. Now, users are able to trade every cent, which gives more potential equity price changes, and therefore more changes in options prices, said Murphy.
