Poulter: Faldo lost respect with Garcia comments
Nick Faldo lost the respect of Europe's leading golfers after calling Sergio Garcia "useless" during their Ryder Cup victory over the US at Gleneagles, Europe's talisman Ian Poulter has said.
Nick Faldo lost the respect of Europe's leading golfers after calling Sergio Garcia "useless" during their Ryder Cup victory over the US at Gleneagles, Europe's talisman Ian Poulter has said.
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are part of an 11-strong "task force" created to examine all aspects of the US Ryder Cup process in the wake of last month's defeat at Gleneagles.
Ryder Cup winner Lee Westwood has criticised the United States team for airing "dirty laundry in public" after their defeat at Gleneagles last month.
David Howell has been named as the final member of the selection panel which includes Paul McGinley to choose Europe's next Ryder Cup captain.
Padraig Harrington has said he would love to be Europe's Ryder Cup captain in the future.
Paul McGinley insists his strained relationship with Darren Clarke will not influence his opinion on who should be Europe's next Ryder Cup captain.
Phil Mickelson has been strongly criticised for openly questioning the captaincy of Tom Watson, just two hours after the United States lost the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles.
Lee Westwood urged future European Ryder Cup captains to take a leaf from Paul McGinley's book after the Dubliner led the home side to victory at Gleneagles.
World number one Rory McIlroy led by example as Europe won the 40th Ryder Cup by 16.5 points to 11.5 after being given an early scare at Gleneagles.
The United States will need their own version of the 'Miracle at Medinah' at Gleneagles after another brilliant foursomes performance gave Europe a 10-6 lead heading into the final day of the 40th Ryder Cup.
Recriminations among the losing US Ryder Team have already begun, with Phil Mickelson appearing to heavily criticise the approach taken by their captain, Tom Watson.
Look back on the first day of the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles.
Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson fired an amazing 10 birdies in succession to claim a third straight win in the 40th Ryder Cup, but it was Europe's only success as the United States fought back on Saturday.
Europe claimed a 5-3 lead after the first two sessions of the 40th Ryder Cup, despite their star trio of Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter contributing just half a point.
Nick Faldo has attempted to clarify his controversial comments about Sergio Garcia at the Ryder Cup - by saying the Spaniard was "lousy" in the 2008 competition rather than "useless".
The United States snatched a late 2.5 to 1.5 lead from the morning fourballs at the Ryder Cup but more significant was the psychological advantage they gained from it.
European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley admits he will worry about making the right decisions over the next three days but is confident his experience will mean he gets more right than wrong.
Two years have passed since the Miracle in Medinah as Europe prepares to host America in the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in Scotland, writes RTÉ Sport's Ed Leahy
European captain Paul McGinley looked to have settled on a number of his pairings on the final day of practice for the 40th Ryder Cup at Gleneagles on Thursday.
Ryder Cup veteran Phil Mickelson insists the United States remain underdogs at Gleneagles despite making fun of the speculation about disharmony in the European team.

The Philadelphia Phillies need a stop gap at third base until prospect Cody Asche is ready to take over as the Phillies full time third baseman. Kevin Youkilis is the perfect solution for the Phillies and can be acquired for a reasonable price. The consensus among MLB scouts is that 22 year old Cody Asche will be major league ready for 2014. In the meantime, the Phillies need a player that can man the hot corner and give the team an upgrade in offense at the position. Some think that a combination of Freddi Galvis and Kevin Frandsen could fill the hole. Even though Frandsen was signed to a $850,000 deal that could be worth $1.2 million in incentives. He is not the answer. Read here why he is not. Kevin Youkilis is the right man for the job. Youkilis has struggled over the past few seasons offensively, but he still provides power, and unbelievable eye at the plate, steady defense, and is (despite what Bobby Valentine says) a winner and good guy to have in the clubhouse. Despite a car...

Michaels Complete Lawn CareRead MoreNeighborhood children doing yard work for money to spend on candy is classic Americana, but for Michael Ackerman Jr, the actual work ended up being its own reward. Michael's grass-mowing hobby transformed into a full-scale lawn-care company in just a few years, after he got the word out by passing out homemade fliers and staging a town-wide game of telephone. When the buzz about his business amplified, he managed his growing list of clientele with the help of his new business partners, Michael Sr and Connie, his parents. As a team, they now tackle yard work of all kinds and have added snow removal, irrigation, and landscape lighting to their core lawn-care services.REDEEM FROM HOMEWICHITA, KS US
Woodard MercantileRead MoreTwin canine greeters, Jake and Roper, roam the aisles of Woodard Mercantile, welcoming guests to Gerald and Leslye Woodard's expansive store. It's that kind of character that sets the family-owned shop apart. Each aisle offers row upon row of an eclectic variety of brand name supplies and gifts, including pet and horse supplies, lawn and garden goods, jewelry, and purses. Knowledgeable staff members stand at the ready to assist with selections or special-order goods that aren't in stock.4160 North Maize RoadMaize, KS US

Brady NurseryRead MoreIt's safe to say that the Brady family has horticulture in its blood. Their history with flora dates all the way back to 1952, when Joe and Catherine opened the 50-acre Brady Nursery. But even then, Joe was no novice—the nurseryman held a horticulture degree from Kansas State University and spread knowledge through Gard'N'Wise, the local TV gardening show he spent 25 years hosting. Although the show has since ended and Joe has passed, Catherine and their four kids keep the nursery running strong. They help customers navigate shrubs, perennial flowers, and more than 150 types of trees, including 30 types of crabapples. And beyond that, they also design landscapes to bring homes to life, taking into consideration how different trees create colorful tapestries during fall or hide homes from vacuum salesmen during the summer.11200 W Kellogg Ave.Wichita, KS US
Frank's Lawn CareRead MoreDuring the summer of 1987, Frank LeValley and his friends planned a trip to the University of Notre Dame for a volleyball tournament. To raise cash for the trip, Frank harnessed his personable demeanor and love of the outdoors and spent the summer mowing lawns. This entrepreneurism re-emerged in 2006, inspiring him to leave his health-care career and start Frank's Lawn Care. The business has evolved beyond lawn mowing, and now also offers services such as weed eating, gutter cleaning, and power washing. Frank and his squad of helpers—which sometimes includes his wife, 14-year-old son, and an alpaca that's won multiple competitive-grazing championships—arrive at each appointment dressed uniformly in hunter-orange company shirts.6630 W 48th Street NorthWichita, KS US

According to new polling by Gallup, people are more dissatisfied with current gun laws than they've ever been before. The most recent spike in dissatisfaction comes from people who want more Second Amendment freedoms, not more strict gun control laws.
Americans' dissatisfaction with U.S. gun laws and policies has increased to 55%, nearly matching the high of 57% in 2001. Forty percent are satisfied, down from the historical average of 47% since Gallup began asking this question in this way in 2001.
This year, the gap between those wanting stricter gun laws and those wanting less strict laws narrowed as a result of a sharp increase in the percentage of Americans who want less strict laws, now at 16% up from 5% a year ago. Support for making gun laws stricter fell to 31% from 38% last January. The January 2013 poll was conducted shortly after the December 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting tragedy, which sparked some state governments to consider new gun laws and a robust national discussion about the issue.
Americans have become more dissatisfied with gun laws over the past year, but this is attributable to a greater percentage who say gun laws are too strict, rather than not being strict enough. Americans' changing views could set the course for future gun law debates and legislation.

4 Days Until Sub Pop Rides In The Annual STP To Benefit the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation
There are still 4 days left to support Sub Pop's Ride in STP, supporting the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation.
Donation Page
This coming weekend, Sub Pop Records employees will join in the 202-mile Seattle to Portland (STP) Bicycle Classic held on July 11 -12, 2015. Now in its 36th year, the STP is the largest multi-day ride in the Northwest with up to 10,000 riders making the journey through Western Washington and Oregon.
In January of 2013, Sub Pop Records Co-Founder Jonathan Poneman was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In a 2013 Seattle Times article, Poneman states, "I accept that I have this disease, but that doesn't give me the right to be passive." In response, Sub Pop Records employees will be raising money for the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation (NWPF) by doing the infamous STP bike ride.
What We Need & What You Get
Since being diagnosed, our President has done everything he can to show others that there is life beyond Parkinson's. He actually explains it as sort of a blessing. Parkinson's has allowed him to "recalibrate" important values.
"As ironic as it sounds, I am truly grateful to the disease." Poneman explains further that, "My love of life and its precious elements became more vivid at the thought of seeing them fade away."
Our goal is to raise $20,000 for the foundation. We are SO close to reaching our fundraising goal and we still need your help! This week we added a few stellar perks for donating:
** 2 pairs of VIP passes to Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle on Labor Day weekend 2015 (Sept 5-7th). Lineup this year includes: The Melvins, Ellie Goulding, Flying Lotus, Ben Harper, Dead Moon, Mikal Cronin, Neko Case, and more. VIP admission to the 3 day festival includes: Special VIP entrance to festival, Exclusive viewing areas (21+ ONLY) at Memorial Stadium, Fisher Green and Mural Amphitheater, and an official 2015 poster and water bottle.
** 2 VIP passes to Capitol Hill Block Party in Seattle July 24-26. Lineup this year includes: The Kills, Father John Misty, RATATAT, TV on the Radio, Built to Spill, Wye Oak, Shabazz Palaces, and more. VIP passes are good for all three days (July 24th-26th, 2015) and also include: access to outdoor and indoor VIP lounges (21+ ONLY), complimentary drinks and food throughout weekend, Silk Screen Poster, T-shirt, other swag, and Sponsor Swag
The Impact
Located in Seattle, NWPF proudly invests every dollar in local programs to support the Northwest Parkinson's community. NWPF plays a vital role in helping people with Parkinson's live meaningfully with the disease. In addition, NWPF provides information that gives patients and their families the tools they need to find quality medical care, better manage their disease and take charge of their daily lives.
Other Ways You Can Help
Or simply get the word out about our campaign! Share our story and spread some awareness for Parkinson's Disease. While science looks for a cure, the NWPF is looking out for the Parkinson's community. We are grateful for anything you can do to help.

It also brings new faces into the neighborhood, strengthens ties among neighbors and encourages the notion of urban biking.

Etheridge's voice adds spice to musical comfort food
Melissa Etheridge has definitely had an interesting life: coming out, becoming a mother, recovering from breast cancer. Saturday night at the Riverside Theater, she mentioned being cancer-free for nine years, but her performance was almost entirely informed by being a girl from Kansas who was raised on classic rock, rather than by her later experiences.
Playing for more than two hours, Etheridge clearly wanted her show to be as much about the music as possible. She touched on pretty much every minor and major hit, and the resulting set was like a huge meal of ham and eggs, burgers and fries or any other basic meat-and-potatoes combination. »Read Full Article(5)

The 110 Orca B&W film has the correct perforations and pre-exposed frames. I would assume the Color Tiger would also. The Color Tiger is advertised to have the proper, numbered backing paper, while the Orca has no backing paper. You have to keep track of the exposures.

Home treatment for Dupuytren's disease focuses on keeping
as much hand mobility as possible. Stretching exercises and splints have been tried to control the early stages of the disease, but there is not much evidence that they help keep your fingers flexible or slow the disease process. Most people still try massage and stretching exercises. Even though the disease continues to progress, massage and stretching are simple to do, and they may help your hand stay as flexible as possible. You can also try to avoid curling your hand tightly. For example, you can use utensils and tools that have larger hand grips.
If a procedure such as surgery or needle aponeurotomy is needed, home
rehabilitation after the procedure may help prevent
complications and recurrences of the disease. Try elevating the hand and arm to prevent swelling, wearing a splint as your doctor recommends to
prevent recurrence of
contracture, and exercising to keep or regain hand
After surgery, you can
help your scar heal successfully, as guided by your doctor. Scar
management may include therapeutic hand massages by a rehabilitation
specialist; massaging your hand at home, usually 2 or 3 times a day, following
your hand therapist's instructions; and using a splint that keeps pressure
against your palm and fingers.

Ok, here are the pics finally. Please, disregard the wrinkles :D And the colour on the walls, I was playing aorund with the contrast, and I made it all funky looking.
A question coming your way in third post
I wanted my tray-table that Ikea has refused to award me, so I will get one from somewhere, to go in the corner between sofas. I need a coffee table, still not sure of the size of the kolsvik from Ikea, the small one.
I think I will get another side table too, not a big fan of table tables, so I will look for something that can pose as one.
For some reason, I really want ores too! :D Need a place for them. Ther is quite a bit of wall space to cover...
That sounds good. Are you planning a pedestal coffee table or side table in the room? I just think one would fit so nicely.
Not sure, yet...I was contemplating a shelving thing, floating, with "stuff" on. Any ideas?
The green chair will eventually become my bedside table :D
Whats going beside the loveseat??? don't mind my stupid questions I just want a star beside my Guru status!! I'm feeling left out.
you are not looking close enough :D
Your white couches are still the top of the heap this am, I see. Very good! I don't see any naked ladies in the pictures you posted however...did you take them down first?
I think that makes for a very personal and endearing home, no joking!!!
I value the opinion of the greeks, after all, how many times can you step in to the same river!
But, if you care, I will let you know that we have our own art on the walls. DH is getting sick of my naked women, but so be it.
You must have alot of stick people art all over your house then!! I love Constance's prints too!!! Greeks have such good taste!!!
I love those!!!!!
That's what I like!! :)
I was going to reply to mmmccormi that I think I'll pull out my camera again and take my own beachy photos, using the stone ones as inspiration. I like the stones, but I like pictures to be more washed out and white in tone :D surprise...
But I really like the ones you posted Constance, I could stomach having those in my house :D
Have a thing for not having other people's art on my own walls :D
The pic mmccormi posted of the art is gorgeous! Love it...
well....I have NEVER heard Dh say anything about any of the pics I've shown him. This morning I get "wow- the white couches look nice-eh?". So my dear friend -listen for the doorbell....I'm shipping him to you:D This fascination with you has gone far enough!:D:D;)
If you want to make an empire you have to get them working young! I imagine next year she should be ready to go work at the factory!
Cute little DD running around the beach looking for shells :D :D
Too cute!
Didn't mean to sound offended, sorry, not enough :) in the post :D
I just really don't care much for LR :D please read this in a whisper :D
I truly don't mind advice,so don't be scared to continue in the future :D
These pictures were more to smooth over my whining for lack of furniture in the last few months :D
Nice day job for DD eh :D Roaming the beaches for my shells :D
I only have one beach, well, only one I intend to set foot on that is, the more help I can get the better :D
Is the scrap-booking coming along? Or are you stuck on page1? ;)
There's a problem, I don't care for LR :D
My prints are staying, they are too high in the picture, since then I have lowered the white ones. Nor am I moving the loveseat and it does not look crowded.
As for the draperies, they are extremely wide and covers the window very well, they are just very much "tucked in" in the picture.
I completely agree, it is not the same to buy these beachy things from stores. When the weather warms up I intend to go to the beach and keep a close eye out for shells etc. I don't think SR would buy them either :D
Loved your shells, gorgeous :) Exactly what I'll be looking for too!
Dawn, I like that poster from Ikea, I know it is pretty large too, it might work, something to keep in mind for sure.
I know it is hard to see in the pics but the bowl on the mantle is filled with stones :) I do need more beachy stuff though.
I really like Elises idea of putting two large antique white candelabras (sp) on either side of a mirror. I think I saw some nice ones at Bowring.
When I get the coffee table and chairs for my dining area it'll all come together and then I'll start accessorizing for real.
Thanks guys :)
Unfortunately the lantern I have I think is too small to work well in the corner...
....that a glass hurricane with sea shells on the bottom and a pillar candle would figure nicely on the fireplace or on a coffee table.
I don't do glass, bad Dreamer.
people without children or pets (other than named spiders) can make those types of choices. Sigh. You could have glass coffee tables too, I suppose....no fingerprints, just spider slobber.
I think Kosvik will be great, especially with the white rug...it will add a little weight to the room.
and get to paint my dining table greyish-blue, I could potentially paint the coffee table, since sisal is leaving this area soon, black might not look so bad.
I agree the fireplace works in my favour, just have a more traditional taste in FP's I guess, would have preferred something else :)
I bought a lantern that I think I'll try to hang in the window, might look nice. Shadow boxes with sand...Good idea :)
tv is going in basement, too ugly :D
and kolsvik coffee table...too much black, you think? Can't find anything else I like.
June, I think if I move the picture over I definitely need to get a larger frame, would look funny if I didn't....
FP is ok....just don'tl like the wood on it, or the stone either, hehe, but, what can you do. I am not touching it.
The sisal is actually from Wicker Emporium, but I like the Ikea one better. I think this one is too dark, but I will eventually move it to go under dining table...getting white fluffy rug for sofa area :)
Luv2, they have a white, oversized mirror at Walmart of all places, not too crazy about the frame on it, but it is kind of beachy, and cheap too..I might still get that one...
I need something to cover my second doorway where the dining table is, so I've been holding off on the mirror in case I have to get a larger one to go there...if that makes sense.
Oh,and the wall colour is definitely beachy, it just doesn't come out right on my monitor....
I plan on doing like she does, put seashells etc in frames instead of in bowls etc. Just haven't gotten to it yet, and yes, I am thinking a shelf thing might work, but I am wondering about the dead area by the green chair for that.
Will also get the Kolsvik for coffee table and TV is going soon, freeing up some space. And I wanted to find some old ores too :) Etc etc.
Please, do go on, I love talking about me :D
wiping the sweat off his brow with relief, thinking "Good, now they have something I can seize".
over my dead dressed in a white suit body :D
Unless, you don't mind me keeping him in the basement. He can play with the spiders.
Landy is happy, he is finally beginning to trust we actually do have money :D
Good observing... we see Landy's house and our vantage point at the window!
Do you think she will let us in if we stand with our noses pressed to the glass?
Maybe if we bring something beachy? Water wings, for example.
when are you available for babysitting? I promise DS won't ruin anything white:D
someone has been VERY busy:D Landy must be happy now when he cuts your grass...you realize with the open view to the house next door there is terrific potential for stalking now:D
Seriously, it looks great! I'm thrilled for you:D Have you thought about how you are going to get that big spot out of the loveseat? I tlooks huge from here...:(;)

Overall, he has 10 goals and 29 assists for 39 points in 120 career NHL games.
Benoit also spent the 2011-12 season with Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League.
The 30-year-old is listed at 5-foot-11 and 191 pounds.
The Sabres have plenty established depth at defense, making Benoit a candidate to spend time with Buffalo's AHL affiliate in Rochester.

The Finest Known 1883-O Eagle1883-O AU 58 PCGS. This is the finest known 1883-O ten-dollar. It is listed as the #1 coin on the Doug Winters condition census with the mention that it "was evidently found in a Savannah, Georgia collection and was later sold by a New York dealer to another collector. It may possibly be the Golden I:2738 coin." The New York dealer was Winthrop Carner and the collector he sold the piece to was Warren Miller. The surfaces overall are bright, and the fields are prooflike, giving the piece an element of eye appeal missing from most of the '83-O tens extant. The striking details are well defined in the centers, with the usual flatness seen on the peripheral stars. A small mark is noted on the jawline of Liberty, and another nick is seen in the upper obverse field at the tip of the coronet. Rich golden-orange color covers both sides of this amazing rarity. Only 30-35 pieces are believed to exist in all grades, and while one piece was sold in 1962 as uncirculated (the Golden I piece mentioned above), it is doubtful that any of this issue exist today in strictly uncirculated condition. Like the AU 50 piece above, this coin was also struck from the "Tilting Left" reverse die. (NGC ID# 2668, PCGS# 8701)

Is it correct to say that no force acts on a body at rest?
Multiple Choice
A.) No force acts on a body at rest; if at least one force acted on it the body would move.
B.) No net force acts on a body at rest; when the net force is zero, the body is in static equilibrium
C.) No force acts on a body at rest; all forces cancel each other
D.) No net force acts on a body at rest; no force acts on the body at all
E.) All are wrong.
4 Answers | Add Yours
The correct answer here is B. To understand why, think about anything that's stationary right now, for example the screen on your computer. You know that it cannot be true that no force is acting on it. After all, every object on Earth is being acted on by gravity at every moment.
So how come some objects don't move if gravity is acting on them? It's because there are other forces that cancel out the force of gravity. In this case, it's something called the "normal force" which is the term for the force that opposes gravity.
There are forces acting on a body at rest in all situations except theoretical ones. For example, a motionless bowling ball sitting on the floor has a gravitational force acting upon it. In fact, that is what keeps it motionless.
The bowling ball also exerts a gravitational pull on the earth. The net force acting upon the ball is zero, which puts the ball in static equilibrium, or more accurately, mechnical equilibrium.
It would be B.

The Crusades were a series of wars (1095 – 1270) fought between European Christians and Muslim Arab, Seljuk (Turkic), and Kurdish armies for possession of Jerusalem and formerly Christian lands that Muslims had conquered in the previous centuries. The Crusades began with Pope Urban II's call for the conquest of Jerusalem to restore rights for pilgrimages, which reflects the Papacy's role as the sole pan-European authority at the time. However, economic motives, including opportunities for colonialism, were also major factors behind the centuries-long conflict. The decline of the Byzantine Empire following the Battle of Manzikert (1071) and subsequent political events had greatly restricted interaction between formerly connected Middle Eastern and European Christian communities, causing major disruptions to European socio-economic life that the Crusades sought to remedy.

Lace-up sandals with cutout leather uppers and comfy cork footbeds. Textured rubber soles.
*By Free People
*By Free People
Rated 4.6 out of 5Â by 5 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by michved Cute shoes, comfy I bought these looking for cute and comfortable shoes to wear daily. They are true to size and I've worn them a few times and have not had trouble. I was worried that the laces (being thin and short) would come undone often but I didn't have a problem at all! 5.10.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by hellolaura Comfy + Cute I walk everywhere in my city, and was looking for a sturdy but cute sandal in black. These fit the bill pretty nicely. I was considering a pair of Birkenstocks for comfort, but I liked the lace up style of these much more. Right away, they were comfortable to put on and walk in; other sandals put a lot of pressure on the balls of my feet, but these seem to evenly distribute that, which feels great. Some cons: They did rub against the side of my foot (where the snap is) causing a minor blister to form, but nothing serious. And one of the covers of the snap came off as soon as I opened them, but that's barely noticeable. I would definitely recommend them. I can run between a 7.5-8.5, normally wear an 8. I purchased a 38 and they fit perfectly. 7.4.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by nubivagant Love the shoes Good quality. Very comfortable. Perfect everyday shoes. 6.14.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by atthisvolume YES stop thinking and get these already! they are amazing! the most comfy sandals ever. i was def not convinced by this whole birkenstock type trend coming back but i decided to try these just because. i am so glad i did because i just want to wear these every day! the only issue i have is my left foot sits on the shoe weird so sometimes it may make a farting sound (lol) but that's just the way my arch is and is in no way the shoe's fault. wish it didn't happen but the shoes are so comfortable i can live with the embarrassment. haha 6.1.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by anonymous111 Very nice sandal! I'm very happy with these sandals! Overall I found that they are high quality and fairly priced. I love the look and feel of the shoe, and I'm sure I'll be wearing them a lot this summer. I'm a very tall woman, so I was looking for a shoe that didn't really have a heel, but also was supportive. This sandal is perfect! The footbed is very comfortable and soft, and the leather straps aren't itchy or bothersome, even after hours of wear. They also stay on my feet pretty well, and don't slide around. I also really love the style! They almost have a Birkenstock-y feel to them, but they feel slimmer and less heavy. I purchased the tan color, and they seem to match lots of different things. I think they'd look great with shorts, skirts, sundresses, even jeans! One drawback is that the "button" on the back of the sandal is not functional, so you have to re-tie the shoes to get them on or off. This isn't a big problem for me, though. All in all, I'm very satisfied with these shoes. I've already received compliments on them and I'm sure I'll be wearing them a lot! 5.27.2014

The 1939 meeting between the Chilean author María Luisa Bombal and the North American novelist Sher wood Anderson in New York, when Bombal inter- viewed the US author for the Argentine newspaper La nación, grew out of inter- American literary interests grounded on the cultural inequities of their respec- tive societies.1 This meeting also brought to the forefront two socially aware and respected authors who deeply influenced the literature of their times by employ- ing innovative literary techniques.2 While Bombal was among the first Latin American writers to employ surrealism, Anderson challenged the conventional formulaic plot of the short story. Both authors portrayed the unsatisfactory per- sonal lives of their characters, and in particular female characters. This study examines how key stories from Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, first published in 1919, and Bombal's novels La última niebla (1934) and La amortajada (1938) inter- rogate the cultural forces-social mores, family relations, and religion-that impede women's self-realization and alienate them from their constricting envi- ronments, sometimes leading them to emotional disturbance. Anderson's story cycle and Bombal's novels reflect the patriarchal constitution of their societies that, largely ignoring women's emotional needs, shattered their personal devel- opment and often their psychological balance.3 As critics of machismo, Anderson and Bombal forcefully interrogate the phallocentric power system that places women in subaltern positions.
While in the late 1930s Sherwood Anderson's readership seemed to be dwindling in the United States, in Latin America his writing was gaining a widening spectrum of readers, with varied interests and educational backgrounds (D. Anderson 1981, 155-71; Chapman 1966, 74-97). Anderson attracted the atten- tion of such well-known Latin American writers and critics as the Argentinian Eduardo Mallea and the Chilean María Luisa Bombal. When Bombal, already familiar with Anderson's works, interviewed him in New York, she confirmed both the inter-American cultural links and the literar y and social interests the two authors shared. In their writings, these authors denounce a macho society that frustrates woman's self-realization and undercuts her rights. In their respec- tive phallocentric environments, Anderson's and Bombal's women characters live a gendered existence in which the political dualities masculine/feminine, domi- nance/ subordination, and power/obedience conspire to stifle women's identities. It is essential not to overlook, in the configuration of transnational feminism, the different causes that subordinate women of the South and the North. However, in this comparison, I want to highlight an international commonality: women's fundamental need to defend their rights and self-realization, as shown in Ander- son's Winesburg, Ohio and Bombal's La última niebla and La amortajada.
According to his Diaries, Anderson first made the acquaintance of Latin American authors in May 1939, when he met María Luisa Bombal as well as sev- eral other Central and South American writers who were attending the World's Fair in New York. Anderson wrote in his diary on May 24, 1939, about meeting "a newspaper woman {Bombai, who] came from the Argentine" (1987, 236). And four days later, he noted: "Spent afternoon with . . . Maria Bombal-Chile" (236). In meeting Bombal, Anderson came to know one of the most talented authors of Latin American literature, who like Anderson was interested in the psychologi- cal trials of the individual.4 Like Anderson, Bombal focused on the portrayal of female solitude and anguish in a society largely insensitive to women's needs.5 These two authors established an enduring relationship with each other: Bombal not only interviewed Anderson and met with him four times during her stay in New York, but they also exchanged letters about a proposed trip by Anderson to South America (S. Anderson 1940b). Undoubtedly, Anderson highly appreciated Bombal's intellect, since he wrote in his diary on May 29, 1939, after their third meeting: "{An] . …

Follow-Up | Dow Indicator | Preview
Whatever the political desirability of Mitt Romney's plan to cut individual tax rates 20% and eliminate deductions, a recent analysis shows it could very well be economically attractive.
Romney has outlined what personal income-tax reform under his watch might look like: Extend the Bush tax cuts, end the alternative-minimum tax, lose the extra income taxes from Obamacare and cut income-tax rates to a range of 8% to 28% from the current 10% to 35%. His campaign asserts that the cuts are "revenue-neutral" if itemized deductions are removed.
But Brian Wesbury, chief economist of First Trust Advisors, has calculated that the plan could actually increase tax receipts in 2015 by $145 billion, and even more if tax cuts stimulate economic growth.
Based on the latest IRS data from 2009, Wesbury projects that individual income-tax receipts would total $1.4 trillion in 2015, the earliest a Romney plan might be implemented. Adding back $1.7 trillion of itemized deductions to taxable income and taxing it at 25%—the average tax rate on higher earners—would raise $425 billion in revenue. Wesbury figures the lower tax rates would cost the Treasury $280 billion in revenue, resulting in $145 billion in added receipts from Romney's plan. And, he estimates that the new rates would stimulate the economy, adding $120 billion more to Uncle Sam's coffers.
Jonathan Burks, a Romney policy official, calls the analysis "further evidence" that the plan can be revenue-neutral and still preserve key tax preferences for the middle class. Lower rates, he says, are a crucial part of restoring robust growth.

While it's still a little early in the life of Battlefield 4 to hold a postmortem, you can certainly consider this a pre-postmortem. What I have assembled below is a condensed history of Battlefield 4 up to this point, the first week of March 2014. I have striven to provide a balanced look at some of the promises that were made by DICE, some of the major issues that befell Battlefield 4, and attempt to offer a look forward for not only the remaining life of Battlefield 4, but future DICE projects.
There was a running joke late last year surrounding the release of DICE's Battlefield 4, wherein folks would jokingly refer to the upcoming title as "Battlefield 3.5″. From early impressions and marketing videos, the game looked to be firmly rooted in the foundations that its older brother had laid. Graphics were improved in 4, of course, but overall gameplay seemed to be largely intact, and many graphical and sound assets were being reused. DICE promised that Battlefield 4 would have an amazing new feature called "levolution", where players could directly and dramatically change the course of the gameplay by doing certain actions. Destruction was touted as being enhanced and more granular than in BF3, including more buildings that you could completely level, ala Battlefield Bad Company 2. DICE heard the criticism from Battlefield 3′s lead up to launch, and made sure to release multiplayer gameplay videos ahead of BF4′s release. However, it was obvious that DICE still had grand ambitions for their single player mode, widely reviled in Battlefield 3, with the release of a 17 minute long trailer titled "Fishing in Baku".
After long clamoring from fans, DICE teased that it would be including women in the game. Many feared that this was just lip service, but DICE went so far as to include viral teases of Hanna, who we would eventually find out was a non-playable story character. After many complaints from the e-sports scene about the viability of Battlefield 3 in competition settings, DICE aggressively reassured players that e-sports was a top priority for them, and with the addition of a true spectator mode and smaller gameplay modes, DICE obviously felt confident that they had included the necessary tools to capture interest from e-sports competitors.
Battlepacks were another highly touted new feature, one that was meant to drive traffic to Battlelog, DICE's browser based management tool for your solider. In addition to earning items through conventional means (using guns, completing assignments), Battlepacks would grant a player a set number of unlockables, boosting the rate at which the player would receive add-ons. In an effort to sell their Premium subscription, DICE tied Battlepacks to the service fairly deeply, granting "Premium Battlepacks" at regular intervals, as well as additional double XP weekends for Premium members. As well as receiving all of the expansion packs early, Premium members would supposedly find obvious value in these Battlepack extras.
Battlefield launched on October 29th in the US on PC, followed by the PS4 release roughly 2 weeks later, and the Xbox One 2 weeks after that. To call it a rough launch would be an understatement; on PC, crashes to desktop were a disappointingly frequent occurrence, and the Playstation 4 version was rendered nearly unplayable thanks to "blue screen" crashes. In November, about a month after the console releases, Destructoid posted their impressions of the console versions; remember, this was 6 weeks after the PS4 version had been released.
"But all that glitters isn't gold, as users have been reporting widespread issues with both the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game, including single-player save corruption problems, crashes, audio drops, and latency issues — a few of which I encountered myself. To be blunt, EA needs to fix these issues sooner than later, as they've inexcusably sold an unfinished product for a full retail price…On PS4, I encountered more problems than I could count. If you're going to jump into either one of them, note that DICE still has some kinks to work out."
If DICE had a QA team working on Battlefield 4, it wasn't obvious. On November 21st, DICE created a special section on their forums called the Control Room. The purpose of this page was to open a direct communication channel with the players, and to provide a space where DICE could post news on bugs, patch progress, and upcoming improvements. After releasing their first DLC, China Rising, DICE was flooded with bug reports and complaints about game-breaking issues. Players became increasingly frustrated that DICE seemed more concerned about making money than providing a quality, functioning game. On December 4th, DICE issued the following statement:
"We know we still have a ways to go with fixing the game — it is absolutely our No. 1 priority. The team at DICE is working non-stop to update the game. Since Battlefield 4 China Rising expansion pack was already in the final stages of development by the time issues began with Battlefield 4, we decided to fulfill our promise to deliver it this week, but we're not moving onto future projects or expansions until we sort out all the issues with Battlefield 4."
In an attempt to quickly patch up relations with the community, Karl Magnus Troedsson announced the "Battlefield 4 Player Appreciation" award, in which all players would be given a 3x scope for their 1911 pistol and an additional double XP weekend. This was meant to be a peace offering for the extended trouble the community had endured, but players quickly turned on Troedsson, expressing their disbelief that time and resources were going towards this small item instead of fixing bigger issues. The top reply to Troedsson's post is below in its entirety, which received over 3600 "hooahs" on Battlelog:
"I personally find it insulting that EA/DICE think a week of double XP and a pistol scope is some kind of token of appreciation. Many of us paid over a hundred dollars for a game that was so clearly not ready for release and while I truly believe some DICE devs are sorry, I don't see flipping a few switches to give players extra experience as anything but DAMAGE CONTROL. If EA/DICE are truly sorry, then they can show it through action. More developer-player interaction, involve the community in balance decisions, constant updates on patch progress, FULL patch notes, premium content that isn't camo. I don't want to be so negative. I'd like to see this double EXP as a start. I sincerely hope that EA/DICE to follows through."
As December crawled on, DICE continued having major issues with both clients and their own servers. Many players were reporting that even starting the single player campaign would wipe our their save files, and since some guns are tied to the campaign, players were unable to unlock certain items. Premium members were promised a double XP event during the Christmas holiday, well timed with many gamers' vacations, but that was not to be.
As January opened up, DICE's community-manger-turned-producer Daniel Matros tweeted the following:
The explosion from the community could have been seen from space with the naked eye. As a person with one of DICE's most forward-facing jobs, Matros essentially spit in the face of a group of players that had been having major, legitimate issues for the better part of 3 months. In my estimation, this was the turning point of the community against DICE; up until January, the prevailing voices tended towards "let's give DICE a little time to iron these kinks out", but beyond Matros' tweet, vitriol rapidly seeped into the conversation and talk of lost consumer confidence took hold.
EA and DICE haven't simply released a broken game. They have cracked the foundation of the brand and driven a wedge between themselves and a loyal fan base.
EA continues to cash in on a la carte DLC, fails to fulfill the promise made that pre-order bonuses would carry over across generations, and willingly takes in money for Premium ($50 above the $60 retail purchase price) despite a broken core product.
In this time frame, it became painfully evident that DICE had farmed out the China Rising DLC to another developer, and that to meet their deadlines, content had been cut from the DLC.
As February approached, DICE announced their plans for their "Battlefield 4 Player Appreciation Month". Troedsson was back, and apparently had learned a harsh lesson from his last post, and unveiled a month long program that would reward all players with double XP events, daily Battlepacks, and community challenges for unique items. This, in large part, managed to settle down a very riled up group of gamers, and during February, Battlefield 4 settled into relative stability across its multiple platforms. The conversation turned from bug fixes to balance patches, which most people agreed were needed desperately. DICE pushed out their "Second Assault" DLC to the PC and PS4 in February with no major issues affecting the release. On March 4th, DICE pushed a patch to prepare the game for the upcoming Naval Strike DLC, which created many new bugs not seen before, and reintroduced some PS4 "blue screen" crashes.
Some of us have now owned Battlefield 4 for 127 days. Some of us have purchased Premium for our game. Some of us have double dipped and bought BF4 for both console and PC. We have dressed up for Halloween, eaten dinner with our families on Thanksgiving, opened our Christmas gifts, wrapped arms around friends and lovers and sung Auld Lang Syne, and watched the Winter Olympics in Sochi. In this time frame, can we say that DICE has delivered with their continued support of Battlefield 4? In my opinion, the answer is a resounding "no".
While many new pieces continue to work very well, such as mobile integration with Battlelog, commander mode, spectating, and beyond, many more basic issues persist. Player models still get stuck on simple ground clutter geometry like broken cardboard boxes, kill cam issues (from wrong health displays to even showing the wrong player and weapon) still abound, and the ever-talked-about "netcode" continues to be a significant downgrade from Battlefield 3. Many servers are consistently suffering from rubber-banding and many players have uploaded GIFs of emptying entire clips into enemies without so much as a hit marker.
Whatever goodwill DICE bought with their statement that all efforts would go to bug squashing before proceeding with future DLC or projects has vanished. It is clear, and continues to get clearer with every patch, that DICE is not invested in quality assurance to any degree. There are multiple reasons for this, not the least of which is that DICE released 5 versions of Battlefield 4. The work required to release regular, bug free updates is Herculean, and DICE is obviously not up to the task. The fact that the PS4 version has gone from stable to blue screens in March is a damning indictment of DICE's ability to do basic housekeeping on their products.
Because of persistent "netcode" issues, as well as game-breaking bugs, the BF4 e-sports conversation is all but over. By the time DICE has enough bugs ironed out for e-sports teams to take notice, the game will be at the end of its lifespan, and support will become non-existent.
On the topic of including women in the game, Hanna turned out to be just as feared: lip service. Prominently teasing a non-playable NPC is at best confusing, and at worst a malicious false advertisement. Why DICE chose to aggressively market Hanna is up for discussion, but I think it turned out to be a little disingenuous.
While DICE has addressed the single player save game bug in numerous patches, it is still an ongoing issue, and people are still advised by the community to not play the campaign. Given that the campaign was heavily marketed as a selling point for this title, this is extremely frustrating and disappointing.
Battlepacks have proven a somewhat contentious topic, as their contents are generally useless at higher ranks, and the inclusion of items such as emblem shapes and soldier portraits are downright pointless. There is also some discontentment that certain gun add-ons are only obtainable through Battlepacks, whose contents are completely randomized.
Some good news for future DLC is that DICE Los Angeles, the team responsible for the Second Assault DLC, will be at the helm. After the disaster that was China Rising, it's good to see DICE learning their lesson and developing DLC in-house.
Beyond bugs, one of my chief complaints with DICE's approach to DLC are their isolated servers. If you want to play the new Second Assault maps, you must play on a server that exclusively rotates those 4 maps over and over. This would be immediately alleviated by bringing private servers to the consoles, but 4 months in, this is still not a feature on the Xbox One or PS4. Releasing DLC in this format is devastating to the community in terms of fragmentation, as older map packs will be abandoned by players in favor of newer packs.
After the last 4 months, it's hard to have much faith in DICE's future projects, let alone their long term support of Battlefield 4. It's clear that EA is driving the ship, and DICE is getting the whip cracked over their backs and being told to row harder. With news that the Battlefield franchise will have a new entry yearly, with DICE and Visceral Games alternating years, it's easy to glean what EA sees in the Battlefield franchise: a field full of suckers eager to throw their money at broken products. Star Wars Battlefront 3 and Mirror's Edge 2, once much begged for titles, now have the taint of Battlefield 4 attached to their names. DICE has arrived at a crucial moment in their operation, and to me, this is the make or break time for them. To restore consumer faith in DICE as a competent developer that deserves our money in the future, they have to first resolve the lingering issues with Battlefield 4. The seeming inability for DICE to take two steps forward without taking a hop, skip, or jump backwards continues to be a perplexing problem and signals core leadership failures within their ranks. You can only blame a publisher to a point…while EA might be pushing unrealistic deadlines, they aren't the ones writing bad code and tolerating mediocrity.
At this point, it is hard to suggest voting with one's wallet, as most of us have already sunk $60-$110 into Battlefield 4. What I will suggest, though, is seriously considering not pre-ordering the next DICE title you're interested in. Let the reviews come out, read some feedback from early adopters and wait to see if the verse is the same, even if the song is new. Continuing to throw money at a company after they perform so poorly is not only damaging to the industry, but irresponsible as a consumer.
Is all this to say I haven't enjoyed Battlefield 4? On the contrary. When the game isn't crashing or lagging, there is tremendous fun to be had. I think it could be DICE's best entry in a long and varied franchise, but as it stands today, 127 days later, it is simply not. DICE has increasingly come around to listening and engaging the community, but I'm worried it might be too late. By time we get the Battlefield we paid for, we'll be on to the next big thing, and what a damn shame that is.
