Source Parameters Analysis of the Regional Moment Tensor Inversion in the Caribbean Region
A. CAMERON, University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, firstname.lastname@example.com; E. ASENCIO, University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, email@example.com; C. VON HILLEBRANDT-ANDRADE, Puerto Rico Seismic Network, firstname.lastname@example.com; V. HUERFANO, Puerto Rico Seismic Network, firstname.lastname@example.com; C. MENDOZA, Centro de Geociencias UNAM, firstname.lastname@example.com
A recent study by Mendoza (2005) estimates earthquake source parameters using regional Caribbean waveforms recorded at SJG, an IRIS station in Cayey, Puerto Rico, by using a general crustal model to generate synthetic Green's functions at a fixed depth. In this study, we apply Mendoza (2005) method by using one or more broadband stations of the Puerto Rico Seismic Network. We used the PREM velocity model (Dziewonski and Anderson, 1981) to improve the solutions of the earthquake source parameters compared to solutions reported by International Agencies. We also implemented an iterative technique to estimate the depth of the event. By band-pass filtering the observed and synthetic waveforms from 30-60 sec, our model parameters proved to be more robust than those used by Mendoza (2005), therefore improving the tsunami alerting capabilities in the Caribbean Region.

MILLIGAN COLLEGE ––Donald R. Jeanes, the 14th president of Milligan College, was remembered by those who knew him Monday for his quiet and humble demeanor, placing the college on firm financial ground and positively influencing those around him.
Jeanes, 66, died of an apparent heart attack early Monday morning. He served as president of Milligan from Oct. 1997 until his retirement in July 2011. He was named chancellor of the college upon his retirement, a position he still held.
Bill Greer succeeded Jeanes as president.
Speaking Monday by phone while riding back from Ohio, where he was with others doing fundraising and meeting with churches that support the college, Greer remembered Jeanes as a serious mentor who was very kind and often funny.
"Most people regarded Don as a pretty serious, all-business kind of guy," Greer said. "But he had a streak in him of mischief and a sense of humor that not everybody got to see."
Greer recalled a time when he and Jeanes, as president, filled up a fellow professor's office with a bunch of paper and other things as a prank.
"So we had a fun time with him," Greer said of Jeanes. "You knew that he was just a fun guy deep down. But he was all business. He could be a serious guy and just a top, top administrator."
Enrollment at Milligan grew significantly during Jeanes' tenure. Many new buildings were also built, including the massive Gregory Center for the Liberal Arts. His financial acumen helped establish a health endowment for Milligan and made one of the school's most recent fundraising campaigns finish $3 million over goal.
"I will miss having him to call, because I could call him any time and he understood what it meant to be president of Milligan and the challenges you face as well as the choices you face," Greer said.
The college arranged a memorial prayer service at the school's iconic Seeger Memorial Chapel for just after noon Monday. Students, staff and faculty who could make it attended the sombr event.
Mark Fox, vice president for student development at Milligan, said in an interview shortly before the service that Jeanes hired him for that position in 1998, one year after he became president.
"For me the thing that I always remember about Don is the way he went about his business and carried on his business was in a very quiet humble manner," Fox said. "He was truly a humble person, and had a lot of reason not to be as he was a very successful in his career and his work."
But beyond the work he did as president of the 146-year-old Christian college, Fox said Jeanes and his wife Clarinda were influential on a personal level for them as well as many others.
"He and his wife Clarinda set a great example for my wife and I and really a great example for the kids here as well," Fox said.
Colin Blowers, a senior majoring in political science and humanities, said Jeanes was definitely someone to emulate.
"He wasn't an extremely expressive guy, you know, he was not some loud person," Blowers said. "He was just a quiet man who represented Milligan's, you know, ideal, which is creating servant leaders. He was someone who cared very, very deeply about us and about this place."
Nathan Jenkins is a Milligan alumnus who runs a financial planning company in Johnson City. He enrolled at Milligan the same semester Jeanes became president. He was among those who attended Monday's prayer service at Seeger.
Jenkins, who played basketball, remembered the Jeaneses sitting in the stands with other fans sporting orange vests during basketball games. He smiled as he recalled the memory.
"He was a very good man," Jenkins said. "If we could take some of the attributes that he lived out daily in his life and apply them to our own, we'd all be better off."
Besides being president of Milligan, Jeanes served on the boards of Christian Missionary Fellowship; the Christian Church Foundation for the Handicapped; Mountain States Health Alliance; Elders of First Christian Church; Johnson City and the State of Franklin Savings Bank. He was a member of the Johnson City Rotary Club, having served as president in 2000-2001. He also served as a volunteer chaplain at the Johnson City Medical Center for a number of years.
Dennis Vonderfecht, president and CEO of MSHA, released a statement on Jeanes' death.
"Throughout his esteemed career, Don has always maintained a passion for ministry, and he never stopped serving in the volunteer chaplain role that he began two decades ago," Vonderfecht said. "Through his example in both leadership and service, Don leaves behind a legacy of great character and integrity. I am grateful for the mark that he has left on MSHA and will dearly miss his friendship."
A native of Georgia, Jeanes was a 1968 magna cum laude graduate of Milligan College. After graduation, he served as director of financial aid and assistant to the business manager at Milligan while attending Emmanuel Christian Seminary. In 1972, he received his master of divinity degree, with honors, from Emmanuel Christian Seminary.
Jeanes joined the faculty at Atlanta Christian College, where he taught Bible and humanities and administered the student financial aid program for six years. In 1978 he was named administrative vice president of the college, where he served until 1984. During this time he did doctoral coursework at Emory University.
An ordained minister, Jeanes served as associate minister and operations manager at First Christian Church in Johnson City from 1984 to 1986. He then was called to serve as senior minister of Spring Branch Christian Church in Houston, Texas. In 1991, he returned to First Christian Church in Johnson City, this time as senior minister. From that ministry, he was chosen to be named president of Milligan College in 1997.
Jeanes was an active member of Milligan's Board from 1981 until his appointment as president. In 1994 he was awarded the honorary doctorate of divinity degree by Milligan College.
Jeanes is survived by his wife Clarinda, a 1971 Milligan graduate; a daughter and son-in-law, Amy and Brad Folck, both 1999 Milligan graduates; and grandsons Eli and Hayden.
A campus-wide convocation service will be held today at 11 a.m. in Seeger.
A celebration of life service is scheduled for Friday.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete and are being handled by Appalachian Funeral Home & Cremation Services.

The resignation of University of Virginia President Teresa A. Sullivan caught most by surprise, but her departure reflects economic and financial pressures facing universities and colleges across the country, experts say.
Albemarle County Supervisor Dennis S. Rooker said he was surprised and disappointed by the news of Sullivan's departure. Rooker, whose undergraduate and law degrees are both from UVa, served on the Planning and Coordination Council, a joint city-county-university planning committee, with Sullivan.
"I think it is a terrific loss to the university," he said Sunday. "She is intelligent and articulate, and put forward a vision of the university that was intelligent."
Rooker said he had not heard any rumblings of Sullivan's departure before Sunday, nor did he have any insight as to what differences she and the board may have had.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15, 2010 Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates is pleased with today's House of Representatives vote to repeal the law that bans gays from serving openly in the military, Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell said, and he hopes the Senate will follow suit before its current session ends.
The House voted 250-175 to repeal the so-called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law, and Senate action is required for the bill to go to President Barack Obama's desk for signature.
The president has advocated the law's repeal, and Gates and other military leaders repeatedly have expressed a preference for legislative action – which they say would permit an orderly transition for the military – over having the law struck down by a court, requiring immediate compliance with the change and possibly creating different rules in different places.
"[The secretary] encourages the Senate to pass the legislation this session, enabling the Department of Defense to carefully and responsibly manage a change in this policy instead of risking an abrupt change resulting from a decision in the courts," Morrell said.
In a statement released by the White House, Obama praised House leaders for moving forward on repeal.
"I applaud the House for passing, with bipartisan support, the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010," the president said. "Legislative repeal is supported by the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The process contained in this legislation allows for a smooth and responsible repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in a way that maintains good order and discipline in our military ranks.
"Indeed," he continued, "all of the service chiefs have said that when this law is changed, they will implement an orderly transition effectively and efficiently. As the comprehensive study by the Department of Defense clearly shows, we can move to a new policy in a responsible manner that ensures our military strength and our national security."
Obama thanked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy for their leadership on this issue.
"I have consistently called for the repeal of this law," he said. "Moving forward with the repeal is not only the right thing to do, it will also give our military the clarity and certainty it deserves. We must ensure that Americans who are willing to risk their lives for their country are treated fairly and equally by their country."

MADISON - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen today announced that Randy L. Tesch and John Hollatz have agreed to pay penalties and costs totaling $8,000 for their alleged unlawful excavation of two ponds and their disposal of excavated soils in wetlands on a parcel of land Tesch owned in the Town of Neshkoro in Marquette County, Wisconsin.
After the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) conducted an investigation and referred the matter to the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) for prosecution, Tesch and Hollatz, his contracted excavator, were named as defendants in a civil enforcement action for these alleged 2006 violations of wetland protection laws.
Both defendants agreed not to contest the civil charges, and to pay these penalties. Before the case was filed, and at the DNR's request, the defendants agreed to try to restore the wetlands by filling in the excavated ponds.
On March 6, 2007, Marquette County Circuit Court Judge Richard O. Wright approved the settlement agreement entered into between the defendants and DOJ. In addition to paying penalties, the two defendants have agreed to employ a consultant to inspect the site on an annual basis as part of their efforts to prevent the introduction of undesirable invasive plant species in the disturbed areas of the wetland.
"For the protection of Wisconsin citizens and our natural environment, DOJ will continue to work with DNR to ensure that Wisconsin environmental laws are followed," Van Hollen said.
Assistant Attorney General Thomas L. Dosch represented the state.

The term "halted traveller" is usually associated with German romantic painters like Caspar David Friedrich, to describe a person seen from behind facing a lanscape. The lonely wanderer appears to have been halted by the view of the landscape.
This implies to us as a viewer that there is perhaps more to the landscape than we see. One can also identify with the figure. His posture invites you to imagine what he feels facing this landscape in front of his and your eyes

City: San Sebastian
Founded: 7 September 1909
Official website: www.realsociedad.com
Real Sociedad were founded in the early years of the 20th century and boast a rich tradition in the Spanish league. Only five clubs have provided more players for the Spanish national team than the San Sebastian outfit, which has spent its entire existence in the top two flights and even inspired literary disputes between celebrated Spanish poets Rafael Alberti and Gabriel Celaya. Deeply rooted in Spanish society, the club also fielded one of the greatest sculptors of the last century in its ranks, Eduardo Chillida, a first-choice keeper for the side in the early 1940s.
During the course of their 102-year history, the txuri-urdin (Basque for "white and blue") have enjoyed glorious highs, chief among them the league triumphs of the early 1980s, and worrying lows, both on and off the pitch. Throughout it all, however, their steadfastly loyal fans have stuck by them, sustained by the memory of footballing legends such as the Bienzobas brothers, Alberto Gorriz, Luis Arconada and Jesus Maria Satrustegui, and by hopes of new talents emerging from a famed youth system that has recently produced stars of the calibre of FIFA World Cup™ winner Xabi Alonso.
Birth of an institution
Football arrived in San Sebastian at the start of the 20th century, brought to the city by young men returning home from England. The sport proved extremely popular, leading to the creation in 1903 of the city's first football team, San Sebastian Recreation Club, which would later become Real Sociedad.
Lacking official recognition, the new outfit could only take part in the Copa del Rey by entering under the name of a local registered cycling club, Club Ciclista de San Sebastian. After winning the national cup competition in that name in 1909, the team's directors decided to found the club that exists to this day, which was granted the title of "Real" by King Alfonso XIII one year after its formation.
The making of a legend
Throughout the decades that followed, Real Sociedad fought out some memorable league and cup duels with the equally venerable Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, not to mention their biggest rivals Athletic Bilbao. In the meantime, however, they also endured several setbacks, switching between the first and second divisions at regular intervals.
Aside from that early cup success, there were no further additions to the club's trophy cabinet until the dawn of the 1980s, when La Real enjoyed their finest hours. Under the stewardship of coach Alberto Ormaetxea, an exceptional generation of players, most of them nurtured in the club's youth academy, won back-to-back Spanish league titles in 1981 and 1982 as well as a Spanish Super Cup, and reached the semi-finals of the European Cup for good measure.
The foundations were laid in the 1979/80 season, when the men from San Sebastian finished runners-up after setting a new league record of 32 games unbeaten, one that has not been matched since. That season legendary custodian Luis Arconada collected the inaugural Trofeo Zamora, awarded to the goalkeeper conceding the least number of goals, a trophy he would also pocket in the two championship-winning campaigns that followed.
So commanding was Arconada between the posts that La Real fans came up with the famous chant, "No pasa nada, tenemos a Arconada" ("Don't worry, we've got Arconada"). Standing tall alongside him was a phalanx of homegrown heroes such as Satrustegui, Gorriz, Perico Alonso, Roberto Lopez Ufarte, Jesus Maria Zamora and a young Jose Mari Bakero.
The first of those two league crowns was secured in dramatic fashion in the final game of the season against Sporting Gijon, Zamora striking a last-minute winner to help La Real pip Real Madrid. The second also came in heart-stopping circumstances, with Ormaetxea's men overcoming local foes Athletic Bilbao at home in the last match of the campaign.
Arconada and co followed up by winning the inaugural Spanish Super Cup at the start of the 1982/83 season, when they also battled through to the semi-finals of the European Cup only to lose to eventual champions Hamburg in the semis. In 1987, and with Welshman John Toshack ensconced in the dugout, La Real won the Copa del Rey for the second time. It was their last title to date, however, and when the likes of Arconada and Zamora retired from the game two years later the most successful chapter in Real Sociedad's history had come to an end.
The present
Having put together a fine squad combining youth products such as Xabi Alonso and Javier de Pedro with productive foreign imports, among them Turkish livewire Nihat Kahveci and Serbian centre-forward Darko Kovacevic, the txuri-urdin finished league runners-up in 2003. Times have been hard since then, however. In 2006/07, they lost their top-flight status for the first time in 40 years, though they would return to the big stage just three seasons later, maintaining their status last term.
The stadium
The 32,000-capacity Estadio Municipal de Anoeta has been the club's home ground since 1993. Categorised as a UEFA Elite Stadium, it has the infrastructure to host a UEFA Champions League final, although many Real Sociedad fans still yearn for the club's former ground, the English-style Atotxa, which hosted games for over 80 years and was the venue for the txuri-urdin's greatest triumphs to date.
The Atotxa was officially opened at a 1913 derby between Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao, with the famous Rojiblanco striker Rafael "Pichichi" Moreno becoming the first player to score there.

Project Kotlin was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where one of the main JetBrains' development offices is located. Kotlin is the name of an island situated nearby Saint Petersburg, in the Gulf of Finland, with a beautiful town of Kronstadt build upon the island. The current logo was inspired by the probably imagined connection of the word "Kotlin" with the word "Kettle", which was originally mentioned in the 1911 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica.

Disclaimer 2: Despite the fact that Kotlin Class Destroyers were named after the same island, our language is not intended for class destruction by any means.

Last week Krissy Price, Lauren Wells, and I had the opportunity to host a mini-party on the last night of Alt Summit in Salt Lake City. Our party was sponsored by Joann Fabric and Crafts and Alt. I had such a wonderful time meeting new friends and chatting with the sponsors.
I can't thank these two lovely women enough for all of their help and friendship throughout the experience and for Kelly from Cloudy Day Gray for being our super woman. We can't wait to see you again Kelly!
Silver tinsel and disco balls everywhere I made these disco ball planters from some disco balls I purchased at a discount store here in Massachusetts. Then I hollowed them out (with a steak knife, very fancy). Krissy did all of our florals and they were definitely a highlight of the evening. We had a floral headbands station at the entrance to the party where guests could build their own adornments before going in to dance their hearts out. We spent several evenings braiding strips of fabric to make all of the headbands. Worth it. All of the fabric we got from Joann's. Krissy is crazy. She sewed an entire dance floor out of flannel from Joann's. So baller. The three of us built this photo booth backdrop (fabric is not from joann's in case anyone is looking for this buffalo plaid).
Thank you to everyone who came and danced with us! If you're looking for photo booth pictures you can find them HERE.

We had fun excavating Jello today…
I placed little toy animals in a bundt pan full of Jello, and then refrigerated it overnight. This afternoon, it was open for investigation.
Hmmmm, feels kind of funny.
"How can I get the animals out?"
"With a knife!" A butter knife, of course.
Because the allure of plain ol' Jello would only go so far, we added the bottles of colored water for fun.
Pouring water all over the excavation site.
Little fox, trapped in colorful Jello.
Scooping and mixing the slimy concoction. Despite my art school background, I had no idea that lime green and magenta watercolors would mix together to make blood red (!!), and I'll spare you from some of the more gory-looking snaps. After I guffawed at the mess, my daughter asked me what "gross" means. This was clearly a rich vocabulary lesson as well.
After freeing the animals, filling the water bottles with Jello was a whole other adventure. Thanks to Time for Play for the inspiration!
Supplies: Jello Excavation
I used one box of Knox Gelatine (there are four bags in one box), and followed the directions on the back of the box. If you'd rather use vegan (gelatins-free Jello), this product from Jeannie Prebiotics looks great.
How to set this up
I poured a cup of cold water directly into the mold, sprinkled all four bags over the water and let it rest for one minute. Next, I added three cups of hot water and stirred it up. Then the animals were added. I placed it in the fridge to set, which takes three hours. To free it from the mold, I ran hot water over the back of the bundt pan for half a minute and the whole thing slid out. You could also spray the mold with cooking spray.

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies are anticipating thousands of people at Sunday's memorial. The actor died Nov. 30 after the Porsche Carrera GT he was riding in smashed into a light pole and tree and then burst into flames. Walker's friend Roger Rodas, who was driving, also died.
Scores of people were milling around the area 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles hours before the memorial was to start at noon.
Many people are arriving in cars built for speed, and the sounds of engines revving are filling the air.
Authorities are urging people not to break any traffic laws.

Scott Pilgrim vs. Michael Cera
- Finally, Michael Cera learns how to wield his flaming rod.
I saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World nearly three weeks ago — or, in blogger time, three months — so I'm not surprised that I can't find my notes from the press screening. Normally, this would pose a problem, but this time my memory needs no aid: I remember Scott Pilgrim like I watched it yesterday. Chalk one up for decreased alcohol consumption!
The film is not, despite what you may have heard, based on a comic book, but rather a series of graphic novels (yes, there is a difference) in which Scott Pilgrim, a 23-year-old Torontonian in a garage-rock band called Sex Bob-omb, falls in love with an alterna-chick named Ramona Flowers. She's game, but there's just one little problem standing in their way — seven problems, actually. That's the number of evil ex-boyfriends who, having been heartbroken by Ramona, want to kill Scott. (I don't write for Film Comment or anything, but I'm pretty sure the "evil exes" are a metaphor for emotional baggage.)
Scott Pilgrim, then, is neither a superhero myth (Batman et al.) nor a suburban melodrama (Ghost World et al.). The film, like the books on which it's based, splits the difference instead, resulting in the one of the finest comic book or graphic novel adaptations — alright, fine, they're the same — that I've ever seen. It's certainly the most entertaining. Director Edgar Wright has shown, with films like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, that he's as skilled with action as comedy, but his kinetic style has found the perfect source material here, allowing him to reach new heights. During action scenes, as Scott is fighting an evil ex or battling another band, the camera zooms and whirls and leaps around like a kid high on Fun Dip. Meanwhile, graphics inspired by Nintendo-era video games — extra lives! power up! — appear with appropriate frequency. In average hands, scenes like these might overwhelm the film's less dramatic moments, but Wright is equally adept at slowing the pace and building an emotional momentum that's every bit as powerful as the armrest-gripping action — and does so without ever abandoning humor. (Those video game graphics often serve as punchlines, too.)
Let's not kid ourselves, though; Michael Cera is the star of this show. For most of his career he's been the sensitive, tentative post-adolescent — a nice wuss, basically — until last year's Youth in Revolt, in which he plays both a wuss and the wuss' philandering alter-ego. That role seems to have liberated Cera, who has, as New York Magazine predicted more than two years ago, matured into a young-adult actor with Scott Pilgrim. His humor derives not from awkwardness, but rather a confident wit. And although his emotional range is still limited, he's proving that as he grows older, he can continue to play characters his own age, which can only mean good things as he approaches his 30s.
I'm not spoiling anything when I tell you that Scott eventually kills the evilest of exes, played by Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore). On paper, it reads like the passing of the torch from one precious indie icon to another, but when you actually watch it on the screen, a different story emerges: that of Cera pummeling our expectations of him.

Unknown to me and the sales team, Mark had also attempted to assassinate Tom, the current District Manger and his biggest promoter and supporter. Near the parties end, Tom presented Mark with a plastic knife and the card read, "I removed this from my back, I am pretty sure that you will need it again."
We all laughed, including Mark, and this was an ah-ha moment for me. While Mark was being roasted, he laughed right along with us. He chose not to be unhappy that none of us respected him. Mark paid a heavy price for his self interested behavior. Though he was barley 30 years old, Mark suffered from frequent bouts of diarrhea, and I noticed that always noted the location of the nearest bathroom. He was an insomniac, suffered frequent, unusual rashes and muscle aches in his legs. I doubt that Mark had any insight into the relationship between his meanness toward others and the maladies that plagued him.
While Mark is an extreme example, most of us are bothered by little insults, small acts of lack of consideration and betrayals of trust placed in someone. In putting my father's advice into practice, I found that I could exert much more control over my emotions than I previously thought.
Each of us can make a conscious decision to be in a state of bliss and I believe that as humans, bliss is our natural state. At some point, I found an ancient Chinese proverb that expressed my father's intent, "show the strength of water as it flows, for to stand is to be crushed."
When a bad event or situation confronts you and anger begins to rise up in you, imagine your anger flowing away as it slowly dissolves into peace. There is no eternal happiness, it is not necessary to work at making ourselves happy all the time but rather that we learn not to make ourselves unhappy all the time.

Lamb Recipes
29 Recipes for Lamb, from Chops to Roasts to Kebabs
Here are 29 awesome lamb recipes, including quick-cooking chops, easy stir-fries, and juicy burgers.
Mint and Cumin-Spiced Lamb Chops
With lamb rib chops, we insist you leave the fat on the bone.
Spiced Lamb Burger
As the lamb cooks inside the pita, the fat will render into the bread, creating a crunchy, compact, vibrantly flavored meat pie that's unlike any burger you've ever had.
Lamb Masala Sausage
Want to know more about how the (homemade) sausage is made? Watch the step-by-step video here.
Roast Lamb with Artichokes and Lemons
Lamb shoulder is a little fattier than the leg, and becomes meltingly tender in chef Jody Williams's mostly hands-off method. Earmark this one for your next dinner party.
Spiced Sliders with Date Ketchup
To make your own baharat spice blend, mix one teaspoon each of ground coriander and cumin with half a teaspoon each of cinnamon and paprika.
Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb with New Potatoes
This recipe calls for fairly small racks of lamb, about a pound each. If your lamb is larger, the cooking time will increase, but you can get away with serving single, not double, chops.
Honey-Vinegar Leg of Lamb with Fennel and Carrots
This impressive-looking roast is easy to carve once you get started.
Lamb Stir-Fry with Pomegranate and Yogurt
Affordable leg of lamb is a great way to break out of the usual beef-chicken-pork rut, especially when used in a quick-cooking but complex-tasting dish like this.
Lamb Chops with Pomegranate Relish
The tart sweetness of the pomegranate relish cuts through the richness of the lamb.

Bubba Watson melts down at Travelers Championship
More Golf: Leaderboard | Rankings | Schedule | Expert Picks | Equipment | FedEx Cup
Bubba Watson was leading the Travelers Championship, and then this happened.
At the par-3 No. 16 hole on Sunday, Watson hit his shot into the water. At the outset of the shot, he said, "Oh, a gust of wind!" then went on to berate his caddie right after hitting it into the water.
He said, "Water. It's in the water. That club."
Then he flew his drop over the green, turned to his caddie and said, "That's the right yardage?!"
Not a good look, Bubba.
After chipping out, Watson had a long double-bogey putt that he missed pretty badly. He then turned towards his caddie and said either "There's just no reason for me to show up" or "There's no reason for you to show up." It's unclear in the video.
As fate (and the caddie gods) would have it, though, Watson went on to triple bogey the hole.
Watson and his caddie, Ted Scott, spoke with PGATour.com's Brian Wacker after the round about the incident.
"I convinced him to hit the wrong club," Scott said told Wacker. "I 100 percent take responsibility for it. It's totally my fault. I got in the way of the painter on that one."
Watson defended Scott after the round and said they were just trying to figure out what went wrong in the process. It was a mistake that cost Watson a chance to win a PGA Tour tournament.
"Did we do the yardage wrong, was it a gust of wind? We were just trying to figure out what was going on," Watson said. "We planned to do one thing and it didn't do it. We mis-clubbed is all."

Brazil will keep a long-delayed acquisition of 36 fighters on hold until the national economy recovers from an ongoing slump, according to translated remarks by President Dilma Rousseff.
The Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet (below), Dassault Rafale and Saab Gripen NG were shortlisted by the Brazilian air force in 2008 for the F-X2 deal.
US Navy
Brazil's government had expected to sign a contract during 2012, but the award has now been postponed indefinitely while it diverts funds to bolster the economy with tax cuts and infrastructure spending, Rousseff says.
The final selection "may take some time", says Rousseff, according to a translation of her responses during a press conference in Paris.
In the "coming months", she adds, the government hopes the economy will grow at a rate that will allow the F-X2 award to move forward.
The F-X2 deal was expected to be signed three years ago as the Brazilian economy was booming. But a series of missteps during the evaluation process first delayed a contract award, and then the tender was put on hold for a year after Rousseff's election in November 2010.
The latest delay means it is unlikely that the Brazilian air force will have the new fighters in operation before the country hosts the 2014 World Cup. Its current inventory includes 10 Dassault Mirage 2000Cs and 43 Northrop F-5E/EMs, according to Flightglobal's MiliCAS database.

No. 11 Lady Senators roll past Tri-County Tech, 120-18November 2, 2012
MORRISTOWN, Tenn. – Every team hopes to win their opening game of the season. The No. 11 ranked Walters State Lady Senators basketball team did so Thursday in record fashion.
The Lady Senators (1-0) erased any drama for the opening game in the opening three minutes. Donnesha Shuler dropped in three layups in a 90-second stretch, as Walters State built a 10-0 lead before the Lady Hawks (0-1) could get a timeout called.
The Lady Senators scored the opening 19 points of the game, with Tri-County Tech not scoring until the 11:49 mark on a pair of free throws and not making a field goal until 42 seconds later. MiShannon Wilbanks tossed in two straight layups to build the Walters State lead to 27-4 at the midway point of the half.
The lead continued to swell throughout the half, and a bucket in the final seconds of the frame gave the Lady Senators a 51-11 advantage at halftime.
Walters State had nine players score in the half, while shooting 52.2 percent (24 of 46) from the field. Wilbanks led the way with 10 points, while Shuler and Tangela Crenshaw added eight each in the opening 20 minutes.
The second half opened much like the first, with the Lady Senators on a huge run to being the frame. Wilbanks sparked what turned into a 44-2 run with an early 3-pointer, the first triple of the game for Walters State, and former Morristown East standout Gaby Gilmore added eight points as the lead swelled to 95-13 before they coasted to the win.
Every player for the Lady Senators scored at least six points, with Wilbanks and Aisjah Roan each pumping in 20 points in the win. Shuler and Crenshaw (11 rebounds) added 14 apiece, Gilmore had 12 and Monasia Bolduc tallied 10 in the win. Caprisha Rogers tallied six points, 10 assists and 10 steals for Walters State.
The Lady Senators shot 57.3 percent (55 of 96) from the field in the win, including a blistering 70.8 percent (51 of 72) inside the 3-point line.
The Lady Hawks shot just 18.4 percent (7 of 38) from the field, and Kiandra Hood led them with six points before leaving the game midway through the second half with an ankle injury.
Walters State will be back in action Saturday when they host defending NJCAA Region X champion Spartanburg Methodist inside 'Z' Buda Gymnasium. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m.

MOORE, Okla. — A single mother in Moore says she's had to turn to an attorney to help fight her insurance company almost six months after the May 20th tornado heavily damaged her home.
Lyndee Harrison says she can sum up her life in one word – chaos.
She and her 11-year-old daughter, Layah, are living out of two rooms in their house.
Boxes and suitcases and piles of their lives sit in the living room as they wait for their home to be fixed.
"I don't feel like I've had any help at all. Everybody says something different. I know I've been lied to," said Harrison.
Harrison says her insurance company, State Farm, didn't believe she needed an engineer to look at her home, even though a back brick wall moves, doors don't completely shut and there are cracks throughout.
"I've constantly been begging. And it's time consuming with my job too," said Harrison.
And she says advice from her initial adjuster could have potentially killed her.
Her carbon monoxide detector was going off when he entered the home about a week after the storm.
"He told me it was the battery," Harrison said.
Two weeks later, a contractor became concerned.
"He said I was pale white, like a ghost. And he asked me immediately, he just said have you had your hot water tank checked?"
The flue pipe had blown off and carbon monoxide was leaking into Harrison's home.
From the beginning, she says State Farm has told her her home is habitable, and they've paid no additional living expenses.
"It happened in '99 and now it's the same thing," said Harrison's attorney, Jeff Marr.
Marr is representing dozens of Oklahoma homeowners who don't feel their insurance companies are settling fairly with them.
He says many insurance policies set a time limit for lawsuits and that with State Farm, it's one year.
"If you haven't filed a lawsuit against your insurance company by May 20th, 2014, you're barred from doing. So the clock's ticking.
Jim Camoriano, Media Relations for State Farm in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma, sent us this statement in response to Harrison's case.
"Out of respect for our customers' privacy, we have a policy of not discussing individual claims. We evaluate each claim based on its own merits. As the leading property/casualty insurer in Oklahoma, State Farm has handled thousands of claims this year associated with tornadoes across the state, including Moore. Our customers know that we in fact do keep our promises in their time of need."

|Since a Forth application is extensible and Forth compiles incrementally, it is neither necessary nor desirable to make modifications or extensions by revising and recompiling the entire system.
I emphasize this point because it is different from the situation that arises with conventional compiled languages.
It has been found best, once a basic system is in place, to treat it as the implementation of a language: The language should be documented and not frequently subjected to total revision. Additions and modifications can be made as extensions to the existing system.
Most Forth implementations, including Win32Forth, have a provision to "save the system". The result is an executable that combines the underlying Forth system with the extensions added by the user. The combined system is then used as if Forth came with the user's words.
When I have used Groups32 for instruction, I have installed the executable on a file server, and the basic system is unchanged once installed. It is nevertheless possible to make changes and additions as the course progresses: Win32Forth reads a configuration file after the system is loaded. (Groups32 is saved as an executable with the configuration file designated Groups32.cfg.)
The line
is placed in the configuration file. The file "updates.f" is placed in a public directory, and the instructor has read/write privileges. All extensions, modifications, bug fixes, etc. are made in the file updates.f.
Additions to the system can be made easily in updates.f. For some classes I have added, for example, an additional package with number theory commands. Additional commands can be added easily to the menu in the commands completion interface. First create a version of the new command that prompts for its arguments and contains help information, then install it on the menu by
>CMD <menu_name><command_name>
If this is done in updates.f, the new command will appear on the menu whenever the system is loaded.
It is sometimes desirable to change the action of an existing word. If a word is redefined (i.e., a new definition is made using the same name as a previously defined word), the new word is added to the end of the dictionary, and a dictionary search will find it first. Subsequent use of the name will find the new definition, but any word compiled with the older definition will continue to use the older action.
If >CMD is used with the new action, the command completion interface will use the new action.
Most Forth systems provide a warning if a word is re-defined.
: myword ; : myword ." this one prints" ; MYWORD isn't unique
The message "isn't unique" is not an error message -- it's just a reminder to the user that a name is being used again. If this was done unintentionally, it can be undone in many Forth systems with FORGET (usage: FORGET
A new word can reference an older version in its definition.
: print-one 1 . ; : print-one ." Here is one: " print-one ; PRINT-ONE isn't unique print-one Here is one: 1
Forth does have a mechanism for recursion, but self-reference is not it. The current word is deliberately excluded from the dictionary search. In the example above, the new print-one uses the earlier version in its definition.
As noted already, redefining a word does not change the existing action for words already compiled. It is sometimes necessary to change the behavior of a word in such a way that any words already compiled use the new action. This can be done in at least two ways.
1. Vectored Execution
If it is known that a word may need to have its action changed, there is a mechanism for "deferred execution". The method defines a word that executes a stored address (vector). Changing the stored address changes the behavior of the word.
I used this feature in the permutation package to permit a switch, after the fact, between left-to-right and right-to-left multiplication:
DEFER Direction : Left->Right ['] NOOP IS Direction ; : Right->Left ['] SWAP IS Direction ;
The behavior of the word Direction is switched between a NOOP (no operation) and SWAP. This switchable word is used at the start of the code for P*.
Vectored execution is also used in the "print to file" code. Win32Forth, like many other Forth systems, uses deferred execution for basic output words EMIT, TYPE, and CR. We can switch the behavior of these words. During printing to a file we install versions that not only print to the console but also send output to a file.
Vectored execution can also be used effectively in development to test several versions of a word: The code is written with a vectored word, and alternatives can be installed "on the fly".
For clarity of code, it is important to document, at the point where a vectored word is created, the type of behavior that will be filled in.
2. Patching a definition
The dictionary entries themselves occupy accessible memory. One can often change the behavior of an existing word (e.g., to fix a bug) by altering an existing dictionary entry directly. Details of this process depend on the implementation of Forth and are beyond the scope of this article.

The Purdue Research Foundation says 2006 was a record breaking year for start-up companies at the university. The foundation reports that last year 14 companies were launched using Purdue licensed-technology in areas including, medical devices, life sciences and advanced manufacturing. The foundation says of the 14 companies created, ten are located in Indiana with four being headquartered in the Purdue Research Park. One of the companies is Zb2 Inc., which is developing a new bike design that won first prize in the 2005 International Bicycle Design Competition and was featured by Time Magazine as one of "The Most Amazing Inventions of 2005."

Press Release
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. � Purdue Research Foundation announced Tuesday (Feb. 13) that 2006 was a record-breaking year for start-up companies formed from Purdue University-licensed technologies.
PRF's Office of Technology Commercialization reports that 14 companies were launched last year based on Purdue researchers' innovations in the fields of medical devices, life sciences, information technology, agriculture, advanced manufacturing, telecommunication and engineering design.
"Our tech companies are rolling off the 'assembly line' at a faster rate due to several factors, including increased efforts by Purdue's Discovery Park to educate and guide faculty toward successful start-up initiatives as well as the foundation's enhanced marketing of emerging technologies to interested entrepreneurs and investors," said Joseph B. Hornett, PRF's senior vice president, treasurer and COO. "Once companies are formed, the foundation itself is investing in an increased number of them, and our research park infrastructure and programming has provided them with a secure place to start growing."
Since it was launched in 2002, Purdue's Discovery Park has grown into a $350 million interdisciplinary research complex where researchers are tackling society's grand challenges in areas ranging from advanced manufacturing, cancer treatment and energy to nanotechnology, life sciences and the environment. The Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship was the first center created within Discovery Park to serve as a platform to launch technology-based enterprises based on university research. Opened in 2004, this center works closely with faculty, students and Indiana entrepreneurs to better understand how to bring research and technology to market.
"We are having tremendous success in effectively and efficiently translating Purdue's research conducted at Discovery Park and elsewhere on campus into viable commercial enterprises," said Alan Rebar, executive director of Discovery Park. "And our mission to spark Indiana's economy has advanced even quicker than we anticipated because of the strong relationship Discovery Park researchers have with the Purdue Research Park, which is ranked as one of the nation's best university research parks."
Of the 14 companies formed, 10 are located in Indiana and four of these have headquarters at Purdue Research Park, including Prima Specialty Vectors LLC, M4 Sciences Inc., MagSense Life Sciences and Nanovis Inc. The other companies are Advanced Radio Therapeutic Solutions, BioMatrix LLC, BioProcessing Technologies Inc., Broadband Antenna Tracking Solutions Inc., Cascade Metrix Inc., LifePulseMedical Inc., PaxVax Inc., Sift Data Systems LLC, VEM Systems LLC and Zb2 Inc.
"Several very interesting companies emerged from Purdue's intellectual property pipeline last year," said Simran Trana, director of PRF's Office of Technology Commercialization. "Zb2 Inc. is developing a unique bike design that won first prize in the 2005 International Bicycle Design Competition and was featured in Time magazine as one of 'The Most Amazing Inventions of 2005.' M4 Sciences Inc. is developing and implementing techniques expected to bridge the gap between nanomanufacturing and macro-manufacturing, making it one of the most exciting and challenging frontiers in the field of advanced manufacturing. And PaxVax Inc. is developing oral vaccines to fight existing and emerging pandemic diseases."
About the Office of Technology Commercialization
The Office of Technology Commercialization is a Purdue Research Foundation division that operates one of the most comprehensive technology transfer programs among leading research universities in the U.S. Services provided by this office support the economic development initiatives of Purdue University and benefit the university's academic activities by protecting, marketing and licensing Purdue's intellectual property. In 2006, the foundation issued 30 patents, granted 97 licenses and options, and received $3.8 million in royalty payments.
About Purdue Research Park
Purdue Research Park (http://www.purdueresearchpark.com) encompasses 591 acres in West Lafayette, Ind., and is home to the largest university-affiliated, state-of-the-art business incubator complex in the nation. Within the park, 140 businesses, of which more than 90 are high-tech, employ more than 2,900 people. The Association of University Research Parks recognized Purdue Research Park for Excellence in Technology Transfer in 2005, and the park received the organization's Research/Science Park Company of the Year Award of Excellence in 2004
