Phil Mickelson: Rob Lee says Lefty's titles and panache make him great
Phil Mickelson is a golfing great, says Rob Lee, and hasn't finished adding to his Major haul just yet.
Last Updated: 14/01/14 10:52am
People say Phil is the most popular player in America and I'm sure there will be a groundswell of support for him at the US Open as he goes for the career Grand Slam.
But he has a lot of fans on the European Tour, too, especially after he won back-to-back at the Scottish Open and Open Championship in 2013, with his victory at Muirfield coming off the back of one of the greatest final rounds in Major championship history.
I think you could argue that Phil is already a golfing great, even though you associate great players with consistency and he is very inconsistent and, sometimes, all over the shop.
He plays a Seve Ballesteros brand of golf in that he can pull out some of the most unbelievable escape shots you have ever witnessed and that's why the public dial into him and place him in such high regard.
Phil is not always in control - neither he nor the crowd know where he is going to hit the ball a lot of the time - and following him is invariably a rock-and-roll ride.
But he goes for everything and having racked up five Majors, it's hard to question his methods.
Mickelson is 43 and has had some body issues - he suffers from psoriatic arthritis - but he schedules very sensibly and isn't going to play too much, so I think he can still mix it with the best golf has to offer.
And I reckon he will win at least one more Major.
Phil finished second at Pinehurst in 1999 to Payne Stewart so will feel that golf course owes him something this year, while now that he has nailed links golf he will be a big threat at upcoming Open Championships, too.
Mickelson is also a Green Jacket merchant, with three Masters wins already to his name, and must be a factor at Augusta over the next few years with his innate ability to conjure up magic around the greens.
Plus, as he has got older, he has begun to temper his aggressive game - if only slightly - and that was evident at Muirfield last summer when he dealt with a back nine that gave everyone else nightmares.
Phil has realised that he can often win the day playing a strategy game and I think he will be a runner and rider at every Major this year - but it might be a step too far for him to get to World No. 1 by the end of 2014.
If anyone is going to overhaul Tiger Woods, they are going to have to hit one hell of a hot steak and he is going to have to go extremely quiet, which he probably won't do at venues he loves like Torrey Pines and Bay Hill.
But Tiger won't top the tree forever and, as it stands, I reckon he will be deposed by either Rory McIlroy - who I have already earmarked as my favourite for this year's US PGA Championship at Valhalla - or Adam Scott.
But you'd get no complaints if Mickelson assumed that mantle.
Rory would love to win in Abu Dhabi and start 2014 with a bang after ending 2013 with a tournament victory in Australia and he's certainly got a chance.
He is happy with his driver and ball combination, which I don't think he was last year, and things are starting to happen for him - but I am going to go for Thomas Bjorn again.
I picked him last week at the Volvo Golf Champions and he had a shocker in the first round, carding a 79, but he went on to finish 10th, so his game is in good order. He's a 22/1 shot with Sky Bet.
Over in the States at the Humana Challenge, I think Jeff Overton could go well.
Overton is yet to win on the PGA Tour but he can look at someone like Jimmy Walker, who claimed his first victory at the 188th attempt and his second, at the Sony Open in Hawaii on Sunday, less than three months later.
However, my tip is Harris English. English led the Sony Open in the final round but fell away so is in good form. He's a 20/1 shot with Sky Bet.

Sogni del Mare by Antonia's Flowers
I was surprised to find myself enjoying this scent. It has a fresh, salty, and tree-like scent for me. It reminds me of my old house by the beach in SF. Anyway, I have to admit I don't reach for this one often, but I admire it because it's not too 'feminine' and it smells clean without being ozonic. I didn't like any of the other scents by AF, this was the one. If you like this, you might like Issey Miyake's eau fraiche or CdG's White.

obvious that the data was skewed by bad weather, the knee-jerk

exacerbating an already defensive Nasdaq on disappointing results
from Twitter (

But the defensive tone was mitigated by an earlier bullish
report on the job market from ADP which found that private payrolls
rose by a greater than expected 220,000 in April, beating forecasts
of +210,000 and following an upwardly revised 209,000 in March.

Yesterday, at a press conference, a reporter asked President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair about the memo. The reporter asked whether, as the Downing Street memo alleges, "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy of removing Saddam through military action."
Blair's response ignored the question about whether the "policy" to go to war had already been fixed at the time of the memo and responded as if the question was about whether the "facts" were being fixed. He said,
"Well, I can respond to that very easily. No, the facts were not being fixed in any shape or form at all. And let me remind you that that memorandum was written before we then went to the United Nations."
Raw Story has posted information that suggests that media reports may have been edited to give the appearance that Blair answered the reporter's question.
Rob's Blog has posted a blog that highlights the fact that retired Gen. Colin Powell also dodged the question about the "policy" when he was asked about the Downing Street memo on the Daily Show.
Buzz Flash has posted an interview with Congressman John Conyers who has called the memo "a smoking gun" that proves the duplicity of the current administration.

Finding Suitable tires for the 66 GTO
Posted 11 August 2006 - 11:42 PM
The kit I got had only three tires (not a good day for tires for me!) and they are just not "right" looking with nothing at all on the sidewalls, thanks to Goodyear, I guess. Where would I be able to suitable tires for it? I don't seem to have any suitable Muscle Car tires in my tire stash!
I plan to paint it Testors Metallic teal, as one year at the Adirondack Nationals in Lake George a freindly couple stayed at the motel we stay, and they had a metallic teal 66 GTO and I've always remembered it.
I'm not averse to resin tires either...
Posted 12 August 2006 - 02:31 AM
Modelhaus also has tires........but he has so many it may be best to email him and ask which ones (redline or otherwise) would be best for that type of car.
Here's a link to John Sharisky's Fotki page which shows some of the tires he has.......
Hope this helps!

I really hate that you have to go and hunt down tires for most of these kits. Especially the Revells, every revell I have came with a set of space-savers! WTF? They love the fact that you have to buy 3 or 4 kits just to produce a decent looking 1/25th car
I hear ya!.............That's been a main gripe of mine for years when it comes to certain cars. The latest example from Revell is the new Corvette Z06 kit. While it's a very nice kit detail and body shape wise.....they cheaped out and used the tires out of the regular C6 kit. Ya have to buy the Viper kit if you want the correct tires to make the model accurate, not to mention modifying the wheels to suit! :x
The tires (especially the rears) on the Z06 are much wider and I think really make the car! IMO I think wheels and tires make or break a kit........that along with ride height or how it sits when completed.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 1/20/13
Chris Johnson and Mickael Gelabale signed 10-day contracts with Minnesota on Saturday morning, then scored the first 23 points of the fourth quarter to lift the Timberwolves to a 92-79 victory over the slumping Houston Rockets on Saturday night. Johnson, signed from Santa Cruz of the NBA Development League, scored 13 of his 15 points in the fourth. Gelabale, a forward who arrived from France on Thursday, had 10 of his 11 points in the final 12 minutes to help the injury-hampered Wolves end a five-game skid. James Harden scored 18 points on 5-of-18 shooting for the Rockets, who have lost seven straight games. Houston shot 32 percent and committed 20 turnovers in another lethargic effort that had coach Kevin McHale scrambling to find anybody who could give them some energy. Andrei Kirilenko had 21 points and 11 rebounds, and Luke Ridnour scored 16 points for the Timberwolves, who had lost each of their previous five by double digits and were playing with just nine healthy bodies. ...

In my town, the ER doubles as a walk in clinic. If it didn't, our ER would close and in emergencies we would have to go to the next town. We woudln't have enough patients to keep it open.

"An Rh-negative mother is most likely to be exposed to her baby's blood during the last three months of pregnancy and at delivery. Therefore, your doctor will likely prescribe at least one dose of RhoGAM® Ultra-Filtered PLUS at around 28 weeks of pregnancy, and a second dose will be given for added protection within 72 hours after delivery if the baby is found to be Rh-positive. You should also receive RhoGAM® Brand after abdominal trauma or immediately after an invasive procedure is performed (such as amniocentesis) and then every 12 weeks thereafter."

I have been to the ER due to bleeding during early pregnancy and cramping. I did not enjoy my trip there but it is better to be checked and make sure this isn't something more serious going on. I understood there was nothing they could do for me if I was mc which I was but I also wanted all my reproductive organs to be fine and not ruining my chances of ever having a baby again. As far as wasting the doctors time at the ER isn't a reason to not go. That doctor gets paid to do a job and part of that job is to treat everyone no matter how big or small the problem may be. Yes us gals that go to the ER for bleeding wait a super long time while others that are more serious are treated. I am not judging or trying to be rude it is extremely scary and painful to start bleeding and mc a baby or two so sometimes peace of mind and a final answer is well worth the trip to the ER.
Now if I spot, I'll have to go get Rhogam. So that's 1 more reason to go to the ER.
wow. i dont think it matters if you are heavily bleeding or spotting, either way its blood. and i have had 3 mc's so basically your telling me my trips to the er were pointless. but i hate to break it to you.. but something YOU might think is an emergency i might not think is.. and vice versa. You shouldnt be sitting here preaching what you think is an emergency when you have never been in these other womens shoes. and sometimes just going in for spotting can save a womans life. and like what was posted above, i would rather go in for spotting then DIE because i would be 'wasting the doctors precious time'.

Oronce Fine (1494-1555) was a French mathematician and cartographer. In his Protomathesis, published in 1532, Fine presented a compendium of mathematics consisting of writings on arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, astronomy, and instrument-making.
Title page of the copy of Oronce Fine's 1532 Protomathesis held by the Linderman Library of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
The frontispiece plate shows a scholar in discussion with the muse Uranus, patron of knowledge, before a model of the universe. It is thought that Fine depicted himself as the scholar.
Fine presented examples showing the use of a quadrant in determining the inaccessible depth of a well, cistern, and ravine, respectively.
The Special Collections staff at the Linderman Library of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is pleased to cooperate with the Mathematical Association of America to exhibit this and other items from the Library's holdings in "Mathematical Treasures." In particular, MAA Convergence would like to thank Lois Fischer Black, Curator, Special Collections, and Ilhan Citak, Archives and Special Collections Librarian, for their kind assistance in helping to make this display possible. You may use these images in your classroom; all other uses require permission from the Special Collections staff, Linderman Library, Lehigh University.
Convergence also has on display as another "mathematical treasure," from the Columbia University Library Rare Book and Manuscript Collection, two additional pages from the geometry section of Fine's Protomathesis.

Secure Oracle VM Deployments
By Honglin Su-Oracle on Oct 06, 2014
Just published a blog to talk about how to apply latest security fixes to Oracle VM and Virtual Compute Appliances.
Just published a blog to talk about how to apply latest security fixes to Oracle VM and Virtual Compute Appliances.
During the keynote, Steve Grobman, Intel Fellow and CTO of Intel Security Platforms showed the NGFW demo with Oracle VM Manager:
Steve explained how NGFW is going to address the security threat. Here's the value of the joint solution from Intel and Oracle.
You can watch the keynote replay here.
With the latest virtualization plug-in update (18.104.22.168), Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c works seamlessly with Oracle VM Manager 3.3.
For more details, read the announcement at Oracle's virtualization blog.
Provides support for private virtual LANs. Using Private VLANs, in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1 Administration Guide.
Increases the number of LDC endpoints per guest domain on SPARC T4, SPARC T5, SPARC M5, and SPARC M6 systems. See Using Logical Domain Channels, in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1 Administration Guide.
Adds support for dynamically assigning PCIe endpoint devices to Fujitsu M10 systems. See the Fujitsu M10 Systems Product Notes.
For details, please review the documentation for the
software/hardware requirements by following the documentation: What's
To download the software, read the instructions from OTN page.
Oracle Validated Configurations program offers pre-tested, validated architectures — including
software, hardware, storage, and network components—along with
documented deployment guides, available on many different hardware platforms. Check the latest submissions:
We have a short survey that I'd ask our customers how you use Oracle VM Manager today. Click the link here. It would just take a few minutes to complete the survey. Thank you for providing your valuable feedback.
VNC access to a virtual machine:
Serial console access to a virtual machine:
To use the new virtual machine console access feature, ovmcore-console package needs to be installed on the server running Oracle VM Manager 3.3 in order to gain VNC and serial console access to virtual machines. We just released an updated version of ovmcore-console package
(ovmcore-console-1.0-41) to ULN and public-yum.
Download the package from public-yum:
The package is also available at the ULN channels:
The new package has integrated a few bug fixes:
Oracle VM Manager chooses a MAC address using random numbers within the specified range when the user doesn't supply a specific MAC address. The default range has an OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier), of 00:21:F6 and uses the remaining portion of 00:00:00 - FF:FF:FF from which to randomly choose a specific MAC address. This default range is used because the OUI prefix (00:21:f6) is officially registered to Oracle and should not conflict with any other vendors devices. However, that range can be changed.
When a vnic is created, the user can specify any MAC address. The user supplied MAC address does not have to fall within the default range. The manager will validate that this MAC address is not already used by another vnic created in that manager.
The manager allows the specification of an OUI other than the default and a range of addresses to use for the device specific portion of the MAC address.
The users need to explicitly set the range that they want to use. With coordination among Oracle VM Manager instances, you can set the range so that each Oracle VM Manager won't conflict with other Oracle VM Manager instances.
Here I'd like to explain how to configure the Java RAS proxy so that you can use your preferred local VNC client to access the guest VM console when using Oracle VM 3.2. For more details and the background, please consult Oracle VM 3.2 Installation and Upgrade Guide where it explains the VNC console used to connect virtual machines in x86-based server pools.
To configure which VNC viewer to use with the Options > Configuration menu item of the Java RAS proxy window, enter the path to the VNC client on the client desktop computer.
On a Windows desktop, for example, specify the parameters
$ and
$ if the VNC client requires these parameters in a different format than the default
, then click OK.
If you don't have a local VNC viewer, be sure to get the latest TightVNC package from Oracle's public YUM repository to be installed on the server running Oracle VM Manager:
# rpm -ivh tightvnc-java-
Fore more details, visit the documentation:
IOUG (Independent Oracle User Group) Virtualization SIG is hosting the webcast on the best practices of Oracle VM server virtualization.
For more white paper about best practices, visit Oracle VM OTN page here.
When we talk about the server virtualization solution from Oracle, Oracle VM has the server virtualization and management components in one solution. One of the reasons that differentiate Oracle from others is the full stack story.
See the announcement at Oracle's virtualization blog.
I just set up a SunRay 3i thin client at home. I used to have SunRay 270 at home, but I had to use a dedicated router for VPN connection. With the updated firmware, it's now easy to configure VPN from the SunRay built-in pop-up GUI options.
The SunRay thin client does not have a wifi connection. A simple workaround is to use a wifi client device, such as Asus Wireless-G Access Point (WL-330GE).
It's pretty cool that we have SunRay at work, SunRay at home, and the soft client for a regular desktop and the app for iPad.
I'm glad that my old blog has been transitioned to blogs.oracle.com/hlsu. For up to date information about Oracle's virtualization portfolio, and how Oracle's virtualization solutions can help you, please check blogs.oracle.com/virtualization.
Systems Practice has rolled out Logical Domains Discovery Day events, and many more to come in the next couple quarters.
It's a great opportunity to learn the concepts of chip multi-threading and how this can be virtualized using LDoms. See a demonstration of a fully operational LDoms system and hear about the potential savings in total cost of ownership. Find out why Coolthreads servers with LDoms is not just a new technology - it's a compelling cost and efficiency story.Please look for a city near you:
Logical Domains Manager 1.0.3 was released. LDoms 1.0.3 adds a number of virtual I/O enhancements with Solaris 10 5/08 OS and supports all the current UltraSPARC T2 Plus, UltraSPARC T2 and UltraSPARC T1 based servers.
Today Sun announces quad-core availability for the newest additions to its x86/x64 product line - the Sun Fire X4140, Sun Fire X4240, and Sun Fire X4440 servers featuring AMD Opteron processors. I'm pleased to announce that we are shipping Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) with these new systems, and more Sun x86 platforms support will be available in the coming months.
SIA was created to address the demand for simple, easy and consistent OS installation experience. It allows enterprise users to easily load and preconfigure operating systems on Sun x86 systems. Additional functions have been added, such as SP/BIOS upgrade, HBA/Expander firmware upgrade, software utility installation, and so on.

Please visit the LDoms web site http://www.sun.com/ldoms for additional resources such as support, datasheet, blueprints, whitepaper, customer references, etc.
Today we are pleased to announce that Logical Domains (LDoms) 1.0.1, bringing customers greater benefits in reliability, security and manageability, has been released and is freely available for customer download at NO EXTRA COST.
Logical Domains (http://www.sun.com/ldoms) is Sun's server virtualization and partitioning technology, and a key element of Sun xVM Infrastructure on Sun servers with CoolThreads technology. LDoms software leverages the hypervisor to subdivide supported platforms' resources (CPUs, memory, I/O, and storage) by creating partitions called logical or virtual domains. Each logical domain can run an independent operating system. Specialized control domain allow the management of
these resources using the Logical Domains Manager.
LDoms technology is supported on Sun servers which utilize UltraSPARC T1 and UltraSPARC T2 processors. Currently the following servers are supported by LDoms 1.0.1:
\* Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 Server
\* Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 Server
\* Sun SPARC Enterprise T1000 Server
\* Sun SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server
\* Sun Fire T1000 Server
\* Sun Fire T2000 Server
\* Sun Blade T6300 Server Module
\* Sun Blade T6320 Server Module
\* Netra T2000 Server
\* Netra CP3060 Blade
The following key components work together to deliver the LDoms 1.0.1 technology, and they are all available for download now:
1) Minimum level of Sun System Firmware 6.5 for UltraSPARC T1 systems; Sun System Firmware 7.0 at a minimum is required for UltraSPARC T2 systems.
2) Operating system that understands the sun4v platform and virtual devices. Currently it's Solaris 10 11/06 OS plus required patches. In addition, Solaris 10 8/07 OS is required to run in the primary domain of UltraSPARC T2 systems. Please reference the Logical Domains (LDoms) 1.0.1 Administration Guide and visit http://sunsolve.sun.com to obtain required patches and upgrade procedure from LDoms 1.0.
3) Logical Domains Manager 1.0.1 software that is used to create and manage logical domains on CoolThreads servers.
The LDoms technology provides system administrators the ability to create and manage logical domains; virtualize resources; create communications channels; and define network, storage, and other I/O devices as services able to be shared from one domain to another.
In addition to all the functionality introduced in LDoms 1.0, LDoms 1.0.1 brings customers greater benefits on reliability, security and manageability. Some key enhancements are:
1) Reliability differentiator for SPARC CMT virtualization
With LDoms 1.0.1, any domains, whether it's a guest domain or a primary domain, are independent virtual machines and they can be configured, started or stopped independently without requiring a power-cycle of machine.
2) UltraSPARC T2 platforms support (32 domains support at initial
release, 64 domains support following)
In addition to UltraSPARC T2, LDoms 1.0.1 supports all the current UltraSPARC T1 platforms.
3) LDoms MIB
The Logical Domains MIB (management information base) is delivered as an extension module to the System Management Agent of Solaris 10 running in the control domain. The LDoms MIB helps enable third party system management applications to perform remote monitoring and starting and stopping logical domains using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
4) Domain minimization support
Minimal/reduced Solaris installation for higher security and ease of maintenance.
5) LDoms Browser User Interface (web console, unsupported freeware)
There's no additional license cost to use and deploy Logical Domains 1.0.1. Sun System Packs or Sun System Service Plans (SunSpectrum) are required for support.
Dave Miller posted a blog on 6/27, and CNet News.com picked it up on 6/28: Linux works on Sun server partitions.
I started my career at Sun 11 years ago in Guangzhou, China. The front building (World Trade Center) was the home for many high-tech companies including IBM, SGI, Sun, Tandem, etc. in the middle 1990's.
Can I run Linux or FreeBSD as a in an LDoms environment?
Some Linux distributions (e.g. Ubuntu, Wind River, Gentoo, etc.) can run on CoolThreads servers (Niagara, UltraSPARC T1) natively, but not as a guest OS in a strict sense. Because the guest OS has to be modified by the nature of paravirtualization, namely to add virtual devices support, which was integrated into Solaris 10 11/06 (update 3).
However, you should be able to run Ubuntu on a domain that does not need any virtual devices. So you can try to create a new domain and assign a PCI bus to that domain. Then you need to have a disk and network card connected to this PCI bus and you can use the new domain as a regular sun4v system and install Ubuntu from the network. The limitation with such a configuration is that you can not use virtual devices (vdisk, vnet) on the domain running Linux, and some LDoms feature will not work (like dynamic reconfiguration of vCPU).
Also for the current Niagara servers, you can only create one domain running Linux because there is one PCI bus available to create a new domain, while the other is occupied by the control domain running Solaris. Once the community brings the virtual devices functionality to Linux, FreeBSD, etc., then they are run as guests in an LDoms environment. Stay tuned.
Welcome your feedback on the use cases of Linux and FreeBSD leveraging LDoms on Niagara servers.
To get started with LDoms, you'll need a Sun server with CoolThreads technology. If you don't have one, check the Try and Buy program.
Once you have the system ready, download the LDoms software, and it's free. You may want to read the architecture white paper and the BluePrints article to plan the deployment. Be sure to check the LDoms 1.0 documentation as well.
Want to see a demo? up to 32 independent logical domains - each with its own OS instance running on a single CoolThreads server.
If you have a question, post it at the discussion forum or you can get support from Sun.
Meanwhile, you can explore the blogs for additional information.
Logical Domains (LDoms) is Sun's new server virtualization and partitioning technology for CoolThreads servers. LDoms is free and the most open virtualization technology available. It runs on the free and open source Solaris which has the largest installed-base than any other commercial UNIX or Linux distribution on the planet. Unlike competitive systems with their proprietary virtualization technologies, LDoms can save you up to $3,600 per server - of course, the more servers that are virtualized, the higher the savings and the greater the benefits.
LDoms technology is supported on Sun servers which utilize UltraSPARC T1 (Niagara) and future chip multithreading (CMT) processors developed by Sun. Currently the following servers are supported by LDoms:
The LDoms technology provides system administrators the ability to create and manage logical domains; virtualize resources; create communications channels; and define network, storage, and other I/O devices as services able to be shared from one domain to another. The following are the key features for the 1.0 release:
By deeply integrating Logical Domains with both the industry-leading CMT capability of the UltraSPARC T1 processor and Solaris 10 operating system, LDoms technology helps increase flexibility, isolate workload processing, and improve the potential for maximum server utilization.
Many customers have already used Solaris Containers on CoolThreads servers for application isolation. LDoms technology provides another important feature with OS isolation, giving customers the flexibility to deploy multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single platform. Therefore, organizations can couple Solaris Containers and LDoms software with the breakthrough space and energy savings afforded by CoolThreads servers to deliver a more agile, responsive, and low-cost environment. To summarize, LDoms technology, working with Solaris Containers on CoolThreads servers, breaks though typical space and energy data center constraints to serve millions of new customers.

Ok - I did it!
Gods of Linux be praised.
I rpm the sets in and did the kernel stuff (to a fresh Linux - my first [old time IRIX user]) and now have RD8 the latest build (2.4.18-17.8.0) with the nvidia drivers per this thread.
BUT. *sigh* KDM is gone?! no longer working and everytime the system boots it complains that x is respawning too quickly and is turned off for 5 minutes. Fine - I am able to log in and do a startx.
But that does not start a window manager. I had been using kdm. I do not see kdm in /etc/X11. I do see twm and gdm (I thought twm stood for "Tom's Window Manager?" not tab. When I start twm the xterm keyboard inputs are hosed. I think my XF86Config is ok - mind you I have a Quadro 4 900 XGL. And I say Quadro 4 (generic) in the Config. But X is hosed - any help?

A McDonough nursing student will compete for the title of Miss Georgia America this summer, and for the chance to compete in the Miss America Pageant next year.
"This is my one and only opportunity to compete in the Miss America pageant system, and I hope to capture the crown," said Brittany Parks, a senior at Georgia State University, in Atlanta.
The 23-year-old won the opportunity in February by taking home the crown in the 17th Annual Miss Georgia State University Pageant, a local preliminary in the Miss America Program.
"I was ecstatic when I was crowned Miss Georgia State University 2012, in addition to winning the swimsuit, talent, and evening gown portions of the competition," said Parks.
Parks, a 2006 graduate of Union Grove High School, contends her goal in competing in the pageant was not necessarily to win it.
"I made the decision to compete in the Miss Georgia State University pageant, because I wanted to make new friends and get actively involved on campus in a leadership position," she explained.
Parks said that, by winning the title, she became an official representative of Georgia State University, setting a record for becoming the first contender in the Miss America Organization to perform the circus art of aerial silks for the talent portion of the competition.
She also qualified to compete at the state level for the title of Miss Georgia America, scheduled for June 20-23, in Columbus. The winner of the competition will go on to compete in the Miss America Pageant in January 2013.
The young pageant queen plans to make various appearances in order to promote her personal platform of increasing physical activity among young people and their families to combat childhood obesity. Specifically, her platform advocates for the NFL Play 60 Program.
Parks — the daughter of Douglas and Cindy Parks and older sister to twin brothers William and Edward — is expected to be the first to perform aerial acrobatics in the history of the state pageant.
Parks is a member of Dancers on Pointe at Georgia State University, a freelance make-up artist and continues to serve as a mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta, Inc.
This coming fall, she plans to enter the Byrdine F. Lewis School of Nursing at Georgia State University. She hopes to eventually earn a master of science degree in nursing and become a certified registered nurse anesthetist.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Brief History The Green Thing comes to life. A botanist had a theory that plants had intelligence but to a lesser degree than animals and humans. The botanist wanted to create a serum to increase the intelligence of plants and he flew to small isle off the coast of Australia to test his theory on a species of plant called Ignatus Rex. The isle was uninhabited so he could conduct his tests without any disturbances or interruptions. The botanist searched for hours and could not find the Ignatus Rex plant so he injected his serum into an ordinary weed. In a matter of seconds, the weed grew six times its original size and it started to speak. The Green Thing sprouted plant limbs and displayed its awesome strength by lifting a large boulder over its head. The Green Thing wanted the botanist to take it to the mainland and have him inject his serum into other vegetable life. The Green Thing wanted an army of obedient plants to take over the world because plants outnumbered humans by trillions. The botanist tried to flee and jumped onto his motor boat but the Green Thing followed. The botanist removed the motor and dove into the water but the plant creature kept following him. The Green Thing was attacked by a shark while the botanist smashed the motor. The Green Thing eventually surfaced and kept chasing the botanist until he entered a cave that had the Ignatus Rex plant. The botanist injected his serum into the Ignatus Rex plant and it came to life. The Green Thing offered the living Ignatus Rex plant a chance to join forces against mankind but the Rex plant refused. The two living plant creatures started to fight until the Green Thing was destroyed. The Rex plant told the Botanist to leave plants alone and to end his experiment with his serum. The botanist agreed to never tamper with the natural scheme of things and left the isle. CreationThe Green Thing was created by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko in 1961 and first appeared in Tales of Suspense # 19.Powers & AbilitiesThe Green Thing was a living plant creature that possessed superhuman strength and the ability to control some plants and trees with its mind. The Green Thing could also transform its fibrous limbs to create a lasso.

Echoes from Another World
A couple of weeks back, at the tail end of the season for the ferries, Elinor and I purchased tickets to head over and visit the island of Inchcolm and the abbey there. It's something we've been wanting to do, and in my case, I was also keeping my ears open for potential inspiration for the contest I'm planning to enter.
Why Am I Conducting a Survey?
Getting the 2013 Band Music Survey ready to debut has been one of the most involved projects which I've ever set for myself.

South Africa Bonds Gain Second Day on Rate Bets
May 25 (Bloomberg) -- The rand declined, set for a fourth consecutive weekly retreat, on concern Europe's debt crisis will weigh on growth, damping South Africa's export prospects and investors' appetite for riskier assets. Bonds gained.
The rand weakened 0.2 percent to 8.3770 per dollar as of 3 p.m. in Johannesburg, bringing its five-day retreat to 0.5 percent. South Africa's currency has slumped 7.5 percent in the past four weeks. The yield on 6.75 percent bonds due 2021 dropped two basis points to 7.66 percent.
Spain's government is analyzing "with all caution" requests from regional governments to help them regain access to capital markets, Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said today after the government of Catalonia asked for assistance. Greece is heading for a second election on June 17 after an inconclusive vote this month ignited concern it may quit the euro. European leaders urged Greece to stick with austerity measures needed to stay in the single currency at a summit in Brussels that ended yesterday.
"The currency, along with other risk assets and commodity currencies, remains under pressure on a combination of global growth and the concerns about Greece exiting the euro zone," Nomvuyo Guma, a currency strategist at Standard Bank Group Ltd. in Johannesburg, said in e-mailed comments. "With EU leaders still at odds over the way forward, and Greek elections looming next month, the only certainty is that the rand's volatility will continue."
Standard Bank sees the rand weakening to 8.60 per dollar by the end of 2012, from a previous estimate of 8.10 per dollar, Guma said.
Consumer Confidence
Data next week may show consumer confidence in the euro bloc was little changed this month, while the jobless rate climbed in April to a 21-year high. The 17-nation euro area buys 22 percent of South Africa's exports.
South African bonds gained for a second day as investors added to bets the central bank will cut interest rates as the global economy slows.
The central bank's Monetary Policy Committee left its benchmark repo rate at 5.5 percent yesterday even after inflation quickened to 6.1 percent in April, above the 6 percent upper limit of the bank's target range. Governor Gill Marcus revised her inflation forecast lower, and said the central bank is ready to cut rates should the euro area debt crisis weigh on economic growth in Africa's biggest economy.
"The dovish bias in the statement has seen more talk of easing prospects," Carmen Nel and Mamello Matikinca, analysts at FirstRand Ltd. in Johannesburg, said in e-mailed comments. "As long as the euro zone crisis keeps uncertainty and risk aversion elevated alongside a moderation in global growth, the market will continue to price in a reasonable chance of a rate cut."
Forward-rate agreements starting in February, after the first Monetary Policy Committee meeting for 2013, yielded 5.52 percent today after dropping to 5.49 yesterday, the lowest since December. Forward-rate agreements are pricing in a 20 percent chance of a 50 basis-point rate cut between September and January, Nel and Mamello said.

Letters to the Editor: 04.10.08
Parents are key
As a country, we continue to make important progress in reducing underage drinking but much more needs to be done and parental involvement is key. While parents may believe they have no impact on their teens' behavior, teenagers consistently cite their parents as the most powerful deterrent to drinking illegally.
Parents are often surprised to learn where teens are getting alcohol. According to scientific research, most youths obtain alcohol primarily through non-commercial sources such as parents, family, friends and other adults over 21. They are sneaking alcohol from their parents' homes; having older friends buy it; or are obtaining it at parties.
April is Alcohol Awareness Month. Use this opportunity to have a serious discussion with your teen about alcohol. Tools for parents are available through The Century Council, www.centurycouncil.org, a not-for-profit organization funded by America's leading distillers, and through the Federal Trade Commission's campaign to prevent underage drinking, "We Don't Serve Teens" (www.dontserveteens.com).
Underage drinking is not inevitable. Parents and the entire community working together can make a difference.
Peter H. Cressy
(President and CEO, Distilled Spirits Council)
(Washington, D.C.)
Unfair billing
Being a retiree since 1982 without increases except for the Social Security cost-of-living increases, money is getting tight as its value decreases.
I try to conserve on electrical and utility use so I can splurge on the occasional steak or ice cream. I was disappointed to learn of CPL Retail Energy's proposed 6.4 percent increase. Try as I may, I can't understand why the price for electricity is $0.1617 per KWH (kilowattt hour) when I use 999 KWHs, but when I use 1001 KWHs, it is $0.1544. Being a borderline 1,000 KWH user, it behooves me to somehow waste electricity to get over that 1,000 KWH figure.
On another tack, our city sets the cost of utilities varying with a "winter wastewater monitoring," which tracks the amount of water used in a period of normal drought. So, we can't water those lawns or gardens with broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and other veggies in the winter, when our water supply is at 95 percent capacity, without paying a premium.
There has to be a more fair method.
Fred Allon
Unattractive city
I have some suggestions for new information to be added to the Convention and Tourists Bureau pamphlet.
Eyesores: Old County Courthouse, Memorial Coliseum, Parkdale Plaza, Sunrise Mall.
Education: High dropout rate, high pregnancy rate, low test scores, a new educational coordinator with no background in education.
City services: Potholes, city manager who makes unilateral decisions, and street construction, which would make an evacuation impossible.
Add these to our other "tourist" attractions and watch our city coffers swell with tourist dollars.
Ann Couser
Thank Congress
Ed Hensley, you win! You have written the only letter asking just the right questions. But seriously, it is basic economics and lots of lying, cheating, and stealing on the part of Congress.
We have supply and demand, which affects everything that we do. But the best part comes from Congress, which is made up of the largest group of freeloaders imaginable. Their favorite game is "tax and spend." They lie to our faces about it, they hide what they are doing, and they take as much for themselves as they can get away with, which is quite substantial.
They manage to amass quite a bit of wealth for themselves at our expense. The next time you go to the gas station, check out the stickers that are supposed to be on the side of the pump -- they tell you how much of that dollar-per-gallon price are taxes. That price on the sign isn't the real price of gasoline. You can thank Congress.
Paula Flowers
Don't fear nuclear
Dear Senator Cornyn: I am hoping that you will have the courage to lead this country into the electric energy age where greenhouse gases are no longer a threat to mankind, and wars over dwindling oil reserves never occur.
Jim Hale, an engineer friend of mine, lived in France for seven years after he retired from Rocketdyne. He tells me that they have nuclear power plants everywhere -- identical in design for good reason. It saves in construction costs, personnel training costs and parts replacement costs. Once trained, people can switch plants without a problem. When the government announces that a new plant is to be built, cities compete to get it. They do not fear nuclear power; they like it.
Could you lead a small group of senators and congressmen to make a brief study of why France is so successful in their development of nuclear energy?
