Even though he has no arms, Tony miraculously plays guitar with his feet and has been performing for over 20 years in forty countries.
The event was held onin Roussel Hall/ Music & Fine Arts Building.

Adapted from: A Gift of Hope. Melendez, Tony. San Francisco: Harper & Row Publishers, 1989.
"Tony Melendez may have been born without arms, but that didn't stop him from dancing, dating, playing the guitar and enjoying life to the fullest. Tony was born without arms in 1962 as a result of his mother taking the prescription drug, Thalidimide.
Today, Tony is known around the world for playing the guitar with his feet. In 1985, Tony began playing and singing in the Los Angeles area. Just two years later, his life was changed forever when he performed for the Pope before a live audience of 6,000 people and a TV audience of millions. Tony was instantly thrown into the limelight.
But before Tony became famous for jamming on the guitar with his toes, he had a few dating obstacles to overcome, especially in his high school years. Tony said, "Girls would take me on as a sympathy project, then just disappear. I didn't blame them. Who would want a boyfriend with no arms? It's not easy being a teenager.
I went to my first dance without a date. Just as I thought, I ended up standing alone against the back wall of the gym. I remember feeling a little uncomfortable, wondering if I should ask someone to dance or if someone would eventually ask me.
All of a sudden one of the girls from my English class walked up to me, looked me in the eye impatiently, and said, "Let's go!" It was obvious that she wanted me to dance with her. Her approach wasn't very romantic, but seconds later we were tearing up the dance floor.
I don't think that girl will ever know how important she was to me that night. At various times in my life people like her have come along to say or do just the right thing when I needed it. Those sensitive ones are the hope-givers. They're rare, because they can get their minds off their own problems long enough to reach out to help someone else in need.
You too can be a hope-giver! You can start today by reaching out and helping those in need. You can make a difference!"

You are my idol, epitome of my life.
I treasure thy memories,buried deep in my heart.
I cherish that warmth as a toddler,
When on your chest I slept .
I miss your fingers caressing my hair, as I wept.
I admire that hug as I excelled in exams,
I miss your temper as I annoyed you with my pals.
I adore those moments when we shared ideas on
humanity, education, nation and politics,
I miss those times when we celebrated
days and events.
I felt dejected as u relinquish life,
Tears go dry in abysmal sorrow,
Now as I recapture in retrospection,
I have nothing but to embrace your memories............
You are my sole inspiration,
I miss you deeply, dad !!!!
Written on
In loving memory of my father,
and dedicated to him

A well-meaning law that created stricter penalties for people who knowingly spread HIV to others should be revised to destigmatize those with the illness, says state Rep. Jim Moeller, D-Vancouver.
Moeller has introduced a bill to remove references to HIV in the state's criminal assault laws while also preserving the tough penalties for criminals who intentionally infect another person with a serious disease.
Moeller said he introduced House Bill 1262 because the human immunodeficiency virus shouldn't be singled out in state law from any other deadly, infectious disease.
"Time really has passed for those with HIV to be stigmatized for their disease and we want to reflect that in our (laws)," Moeller said during a public hearing last month on the bill. "Under the law, the HIV virus should and will be treated as any other highly contagious disease when it comes to protecting sexual partners."
The HIV reference was added to state law in 1997, in response to a high-profile case involving a Clark County man.
Camas native Randall Louis Ferguson was convicted in 1996 of second-degree assault and sentenced to 10 years in prison for exposing a woman to HIV. The term was deemed excessive by the Washington Supreme Court and shortened to 5 years, 10 months.
Ferguson said he contracted HIV, which leads to AIDS, in 1988 and knowingly exposed people for at least three years.
Definition of assault
Because of Ferguson's case, the state's definition of a first-degree assault perpetrator now includes someone who "administers, exposes, or transmits … the human immunodeficiency virus or any other destructive or noxious substance."
Supporters of Moeller's bill hope to strike the HIV reference and expand the definition of destructive or noxious substances to include "fluid infected with a disease the normal course of which, if untreated, is death or serious bodily injury or harm."
Many lawmakers agreed with Moeller, but they struggled to find a way to perfect the bill's language. They worried that removing the reference to HIV would inadvertently harm prosecutors' ability to charge criminals with assault.
"I wish this language had never been put in this statute," Tom McBride, of the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, said last month during a public hearing before the House Public Safety Committee. "(HIV) should be treated just like any other disease under the statute."
He said he would like to see HIV replaced with "deadly disease."
Three convictions
Since its passage in 1997, the law has led to first-degree assault convictions for three criminals who knowingly spread HIV to others, McBride said. Despite the law's problematic wording, it is important and necessary, he said.
HIV is also named specifically in the state's second-degree assault statute, as well as in the statute imposing a gross misdemeanor for people who knowingly keep any sexually transmitted disease other than HIV a secret from their partners. Moeller's bill would change the language in those laws, too.
The public safety committee's chairman, Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, said he agreed with the intent of Moeller's bill and hopes lawmakers can work out a solution about the bill's language.
"We're going to have to try to figure this one out," Goodman said.
The bill received a hearing Jan. 31 and has yet to be voted out of committee. Friday is the deadline for bills to pass out of committee in their house of origin.
Moeller said Tuesday that he'll likely put the bill on hold, work to perfect it in the interim, and reintroduce it next session.
Authorities claimed in 1995 that Ferguson spread HIV to dozens of people through six years of needle-sharing and unprotected sex between 1989 and 1995.
Two of Ferguson's former wives, a girlfriend, a male acquaintance and another woman died of AIDS. Prosecutors could convict him in 1996 of only a single count of second-degree assault.
In 2004, Ferguson died in Spokane at age 45.

Board to consider free meals for all
Free school meals could be coming for every student that wants them in Vance County.
Among agenda items at Monday's meeting, the Vance County Board of Education will review the Community Eligibility Provision, a four-year reimbursement program allowing the district to provide lunches to all students at no charge — and without the need for free lunch forms.
At a committee meeting last month, Phillis Newcomb, director of Vance County Schools' child nutrition program, presented the provision.
She said Vance County qualified at 65 percent — the minimum requirement is 40 percent — and said the district could get about $40,000 more in lunch reimbursements if it is adopted.
"It makes financial sense for us to provide everyone breakfast and lunch if they choose to participate," district spokeswoman Terri Hedrick said. "We have very few students who still pay for our meals now. Our free and reduced rate is like 90 percent of our student population."
The program was created under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act and the National School Lunch Act in 2010 and has already been successful in seven pilot states.
If approved at the meeting, it would take effect for the 2014-2015 academic year.
Also at the meeting, the board will take up a social media policy for employees.
The policy committee drafted the document to address teacher and student communication through social media, specifically Facebook.
"So many people do communicate through Facebook," Hedrick said. "You can be friends with people from any and everywhere. Quite often teachers and students can be friends. I do believe that the board thinks that it's not appropriate. We just want to establish they [teachers] are the professionals, and they are not friends with students even through social media."
The policy draft outlines regulations for technology communications from students, stating teachers and students should maintain professional relationships and refrain from communicating through any media form not regulated by the schools.
The policy draft also outlines rules and consequences for facility and teacher use of their personal social media.
This month, students from E.O. Young and Zeb Vance elementary schools were selected to give school presentations at the start of the meeting.

Dubai Shares Retreat Led by Air Arabia as Europe Optimism Wanes
Nov. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Dubai's shares led declines in the Persian Gulf as oil declined and amid concern new leaders in Europe will struggle to contain the soverign debt crisis after Italy paid the highest yield since 1997 at a sale of five-year bonds.
Air Arabia, the Middle East's biggest no-frills airline, declined 1.4 percent after it had its price estimate cut 4.6 percent at Morgan Stanley. Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Co., the United Arab Emirates phone company known as Du, slipped to the lowest in almost two weeks. Dubai's DFM General Index retreated 0.4 percent to 1,387.81 at the 2 p.m. close in the emirate after rising 0.7 percent yesterday. The Bloomberg GCC 200 Index of Gulf shares dropped 0.1 percent.
"External markets have been unable to maintain momentum," and "buyers here applied the brakes," said Julian Bruce, equity sales head at EFG-Hermes Holding SAE in Dubai.
In Europe, the benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 Index dropped 1 percent and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index futures declined 0.6 percent, erasing earlier gains. Italy sold 3 billion euros ($4 billion) of five-year bonds today at the highest yield in more than 14 years. Stocks initially climbed after Mario Monti, a former European Union competition commissioner, was appointed Italy's new prime minister, as the country tackles the euro region's second-biggest debt.
In Greece, the nation's finance minister, Evangelos Venizelos, said his priority is to ensure the country gets a sixth loan under an European Union-led bailout after Prime Minister Lucas Papademos took charge of a new interim government. Yields on Italian five-year notes climbed to 6.57 percent.
Slower Growth
About 32 million dirhams ($8.7 million) exchanged hands in Dubai trading today, compared with this year's daily average of 135 million dirhams, according to Bloomberg data.
The U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia, the biggest Arab economy, are likely to post slower economic growth next year as oil prices drop and this year's government expenditure won't recur, Kai Stukenbrock, director of sovereign and international public finance ratings at Standard Poor's, told reporters in Dubai today.
Saudi Arabia's economic growth will drop to about 3.8 percent in 2012 from 6 percent this year, he said. Growth in the U.A.E., the second-biggest Arab economy, will slow to "close to 3 percent" from 4.5 percent, he said.
Crude for December delivery fell as much as 1.3 percent to $97.71 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gulf Arab oil exporters supply about a fifth of the world's oil.
Air Arabia slipped 1.4 percent, the most since Nov. 9, to 62.1 fils. The company had its price estimate lowered to 62 fils from 65 fils at Morgan Stanley. Du dropped 0.7 percent to 2.9 dirhams, the lowest since Nov. 2.
Abu Dhabi's ADX General Index slipped 0.2 percent. Bahrain's benchmark declined 0.4 percent and Oman's MSM30 Index fell 0.1 percent. Saudi Arabia's Tadawul All Share Index dropped 0.3 percent. Kuwait's SE Unweighted Index was little changed, while Qatar's QE Index rose 0.3 percent.

The 7th Annual Fall Astronomy Rendezvous will take place on November 17th this year and once again be located at Universite de Moncton. Held in conjunction with the Annual meeting of the New Brunswick Centre, the event is comprised of several talks, door prizes, raffle draw and swap session.
The first anniversary celebration of the signing of the Beaver Hills Dark-Sky Preserve declaration was held in Central Alberta at Elk Island National Park, on September 2, 2007. Whereas the RASC Edmonton Centre did the majority of organizing for last year's inaugural event: 'Many Cultures, One Sky'; Parks Canada staff did most of the organizing for 2007. The event was well attended with several hundred guests, a lower key event compared to last year's gate count of over 2,500!
The International Dark Sky Association Symposium at the ASTROLab at Mont-Mégantic Provincial Park was held from September 19-21 at Mont Mégantic Observatory. In addition to speakers from the RASC, speakers from the International Darksky Association (IDA), Parks Canada, lighting companies, engineers and light pollution researchers from North American and Europe presented a wide range of talks on the subject.
Inside the October 2007 Journal
Canada's largest optical telescope, the 74" reflector at the David Dunlap Observatory is to be closed and its lands redeveloped as part of a plan announced on September 10th by the University of Toronto.
The Winged Horse
Looking like a giant celestial baseball diamond, the Great Square of Pegasus stands proudly in eastern skies. Mythology has it that Perseus the hunter, along with Andromeda who he recently saved from the sea monster Cetus, rode off on this winged beast. As early falls nights slowly announce themselves with earlier sunsets and cooler temperature keeping mosquitoes at bay, telescopes should be working overtime, as Pegasus is peppered with faint galaxies.
If you are in the process of planning some vacation this month, make sure you set aside a few days for summer night observing. With the Milky Way in all its glory overhead as seen from the countryside, far from city light domes, you will want to stay up till the first sign of astronomical twilight begins. The observing window for this month in which the Moon will not interfere will last from August 8th to 16th with new Moon occurs on the 12th.
For the first time in 10 years, the inside of National Office has been painted. Where once were marked, peach-coloured walls, there is now mocha with white trim! The ceiling and some of the walls in the library and shipping area were included in the face lift.
Alden Foraie, Regina Centre President, appears in the Wednesday, 2007 July 25, edition of the Toronto Sun, talking about the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party at Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. See the story here: http://www.torontosun.com/Travel/Canada/2007/07/25/4366133-sun.html.
RASC member and Principal Investigator of the MOST telescope project Jaymie Matthews announced at the 2007 RASC General Assembly that proposals are now being accepted from the amateur astronomy community for time on Canada's own space telescope - the MOST microsatellite.

the few game I watched he was constantly making plays, batting passes at the line, and stripping the quarterback of the ball. sacks are overated. hard to get sacks when JJ Watt beat everyone to the QB. this guys is a good football player and will come at 25-30% cheaper than Kruger when I don't seee a huge difference between the 2. and yes he can EASILY play DE in a 4-3. He is 1 inch taller and 10lbs heavier than Wake. Also only 26
This would be a great signing for OLB. Dude is big, explosive (10'8" broad jump, 40" vertical) he is fast (4.7 40) and he is productive. Also, should be inexpensive coming out of his rookie contract.
Draft Wishlist:
1. Patterson WR
2a. Da'Rick Rogers WR
2b. Eric Reid/ Rambo FS
3a. Tharold Simon CB
3b. Chris Gragg TE
4. Brandon Jenkins LB
5. Cornelius Washington DE
5/6. Vince Williams LB
7. Onterio McCalebb RB
7. Collin Klein QB
Tyler Polumbus RT, Starks DT, Bush RB, Grimes DB, Avril DE

New microscopy technique offers close-up, real-time view of cellular phenomena
For two decades, scientists have been pursuing a potential new way to treat bacterial infections, using naturally occurring proteins known as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Now, MIT scientists have recorded the first microscopic images showing the deadly effects of AMPs, most of which kill by poking holes in bacterial cell membranes.
Researchers in the laboratory of MIT Professor Angela Belcher modified an existing, extremely sensitive technique known as high-speed atomic force microscopy (AFM) to allow them to image the bacteria in real time. Their method, described in this Sunday's online edition of Nature Nanotechnology, represents the first way to study living cells using high-resolution images recorded in rapid succession.
Using this type of high-speed AFM could allow scientists to study how cells respond to other drugs and to viral infection, says Belcher, the Germeshausen Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Biological Engineering. The new work could also help researchers understand how some bacteria can become resistant to AMPs (none of which have been approved as drugs yet).
Atomic force microscopy, invented in 1986, is widely used to image nanoscale materials. Its resolution is similar to that of electron microscopy, but unlike electron microscopy, it does not require a vacuum and thus can be used with living samples. However, traditional AFM requires several minutes to produce one image, so it cannot record a sequence of rapidly occurring events.
In recent years, scientists have developed high-speed AFM techniques, but haven't optimized them for living cells. That's what the MIT team set out to do, building on the experience of lead author Georg Fantner, a postdoctoral associate in Belcher's lab who had worked on high-speed AFM at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
How they did it: Atomic force microscopy makes use of a cantilever equipped with a probe tip that "feels" the surface of a sample. Forces between the tip and the sample can be measured as the probe moves across the sample, revealing the shape of the surface. The MIT team used a cantilever about 1,000 times smaller than those normally used for AFM, which enabled them to increase the imaging speed without harming the bacteria.
With the new setup, the team was able to take images every 13 seconds over a period of several minutes. They found that AMP-induced cell death appears to be a two-step process: a short incubation period followed by a rapid "execution." They were surprised to see that the onset of the incubation period varied from 13 to 80 seconds.
"Not all of the cells started dying at the exact same time, even though they were genetically identical and were exposed to the peptide at the same time," says Roberto Barbero, a graduate student in biological engineering and an author of the paper.
In the future, Belcher hopes to use atomic force microscopy to study other cellular phenomena, including the assembly of viruses in infected cells, and the effects of traditional antibiotics on bacterial cells. The technique may also prove useful in studying mammalian cells.

Rust 1.0, the programming language behind Mozilla's new Web engine Servo, is released May 20, 2015 at 10:00 am
From a working developer's point of view, here's what Mozilla focused on when creating Rust, and how the company plans to replace Gecko (the existing Firefox engine) with Servo.
Firefox for iOS is coming, but it's not what you think December 5, 2014 at 5:03 pm
Mozilla dabbled on Apple's platform a few years back with an app dubbed "Firefox Home," but the company has largely shied away from iOS due to Apple's restrictions surrounding rendering engines. Now, Mozilla is changing course, and bringing a version of Firefox to iOS running WebKit.
Opera admits defeat, switches to Google's Chromium February 13, 2013 at 8:37 am
In a shocking move, Opera has announced that its arsenal of mobile, desktop, and embedded web browsers will transition from its in-house Presto rendering engine to WebKit, the rendering engine used by Safari and Chrome. This marks the first time that a major web browser has changed rendering engine, and also the eventual death of Presto. Both for users of Opera and other browsers, this change will result in a faster and more standards-compliant web.
Firefox OS doesn't stand a chance July 20, 2012 at 1:44 pm
As an idealistic thought experiment, the truly open Firefox OS (formerly Boot 2 Gecko) is captivating — but in reality, as it prepares to enter one of the world's most fiercely competitive markets, its chance of success is close to nil.
The pros and cons of Mozilla's super-open Boot to Gecko mobile OS February 17, 2012 at 10:30 am
Mozilla, the folks behind the Firefox web browser, launched a project last year to create a totally open mobile operating system, and now that dream is nearly a reality.
Mozilla's WebAPI for Firefox takes shape, porn sites quiver in anticipation November 30, 2011 at 11:20 am
The first fruits of Mozilla's attempt to make a Chrome OS-like Firefox operating system — Boot 2 Gecko — are now beginning to take shape in the Nightly builds of Firefox for Android.

Grants for student Videos-China Insights: Documenting China Call for proposals
Grants for student Videos-China Insights: Documenting China Call for proposals
The Pomona College Museum of Art is pleased to announce Documenting China, a grant and exhibition program designed to support student research through the production of videos exploring China in contemporary America. Students should feel free to address this theme from a broad range of perspectives—economic, historical, social, or political. Topics might include Chinese products; Chinese art, performance or visual culture; and lines of infrastructure and communication linking China and the US, diasporic Chinese culture. Projects could engage profiles of specific individuals or places; they could be personal narratives about visiting China, poetic or expository documentaries, or even docu-dramas. Applications may be made for video projects undertaken as course work.
Four grants of $300 will be awarded to students of the Claremont Colleges to support the production of a 5- 10 minute video. Projects must be completed by April 4 and the completed videos available for screening in the Museum at the conclusion of "China: Insights."

UTAS Home › Faculty of Health › Pharmacy › Pharmacy News › › Big thanks to Tassie Preceptors!
As part of the Tasmanian Clinical Placement Partnership Project (TCPPP) funded by Health Workforce Australia, School of Pharmacy project lead Catherine Spiller and her team consisting of Lisa Crisp and Marika Castrisios executed free training workshops to Pharmacy preceptors from across Tasmania in Ulverstone, Launceston and Hobart during the month of June.
The overall goal of TCPPP is to "promote sustainable, effective placements for pharmacy students…across the state as a whole, primarily by supporting and up-skilling preceptors." As an initiative of the project, the Preceptor Workshops entitled 'Jack and the Beanstalk: Climbing the vine of skills' aimed to thank preceptors for their continued support over the many years of student placements at the School by offering free accredited CPD training. The workshops consisted of learning objectives which focussed on being a good preceptor, different learning styles of students, and cultural self-awareness.
The feedback was positive, identifying the event as a great networking opportunity for preceptors and a good platform for the School to talk informally with preceptors about their experiences - further strengthening the School's already strong ties. Over 60 pharmacists from a range of community pharmacies and hospitals attended across the state. Overwhelmingly, responses reflected positively on the learning objectives and their relevancy to preceptor practice.
As a unique initiative, these workshops highlighted the importance for the School to support its preceptors and the pharmacist workforce to ensure quality placement opportunities remain into the future.

PGA Championship
The Best And The Worst Of My Soon-To-Be 52 PGAs
A year of my life covering the PGA Championship
Going through my old money clips the other day, I realized I've covered every PGA Championship from 1961 on with the exception of 1963. So Oak Hill in August will be my 52nd PGA and 220th major, including one as a kid. Though I'm sorry I missed covering the PGA's quaint match-play years, which ended after 1957, I still have a collection of ecstasies and agonies to share with you.GIVING UP CIGARETTES MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR GOLF GAME Arnold Palmer tried to quit smoking and shot 82 in the 1969 PGA at NCR in Dayton. A friend told him, "You gave up smoking and golf the same week."
Here's the Southwest term for the kind of overnight rain before Raymond Floyd won at Southern Hills in 1982: "Duck-drownin' stump-floater." Raymond shot a first-round 63 with nine consecutive 3s from the sixth through the 14th holes.
That would be the young lady in the lime-green bikini who commandeered a boat to get to the floating scoreboard at the 18th hole on the first day at PGA National in 1987. If only Twitter and Instagram had been around then.
The square-grooves controversy was in full swing before the 1977 PGA at Pebble Beach, requiring the first club check that anyone could remember since the 1948 U.S. Open. A bunch of players submitted irons for testing, only to find them a fraction wide. An hour before his first-round tee time, Tom Watson was heard saying, "Anybody got any clubs? I'll take anything." After a set was delivered, Watson hit a total of eight practice shots with them and was so flustered he shot a 68.
It was drizzling during the second round at Tanglewood in 1974 when Tom Weiskopf arrived at the 16th green. By one count, Tom managed to nine-putt, occasionally holding his putter upside down. "I'm injured, and I quit," he announced to an official. When he was asked, "What's your injury?" Tom replied, "I'm 25 over."
There was a time when caddies couldn't wear shorts. At the 1996 PGA at Valhalla, more than one caddie showed up in shorts to protest the insufferable climate in Louisville, but they were informed they could either put on long pants or be escorted from the course. The incident brought to mind a day many years ago on the Monterey Peninsula. My wife and I were privileged to be taken to lunch at exclusive old Cypress Point. But because one of the lady club members in our group was wearing a designer pantsuit, we were denied admittance to the dining room. No slacks allowed. And it didn't matter to the maitre d' that there was hardly anyone else in the room, or that the woman happened to be the heiress to one of America's vast fortunes. "Give me a moment," she said to the maitre d'. Whereupon she disappeared briefly, then returned without her "slacks" on but with her raincoat tied around her waist. "Will this do?" she said, rather acidly, to the maitre d'. "That will do nicely, madam," he said. Thus we dined.
The polka dot that Steve Elkington wore at Baltusrol in 2005. I take it back: It didn't look as much like something Joan Crawford sold on eBay as it did Ron Turcotte's silks when he was up on Secretariat.
Barbara Nicklaus, after Jack's 79 in the first round at Oakmont in 1978: "He even walked sloppy."
Name the only four players who won the NCAA and the PGA. Answer: Jack Nicklaus (Ohio State), John Mahaffey (Houston), Phil Mickelson (Arizona State) and Tiger Woods (Stanford).
The PGA has been played in every month but January, March and April. It was played in February in 1971 at the original PGA National to avoid Florida's hottest months. Jack Nicklaus won, and his house guest for the week, Gary Player, tied for fourth. Saturday night, they watched "Mannix" together. Maybe one of these years Tiger and Phil can watch cartoons together.
Paul Azinger, after winning at Inverness in 1993: "Twelve years ago, I'd never broken 70, and I couldn't break 80 two days in a row."
Ed Dougherty, asked at the 1975 PGA at Firestone if he had ever been on a leader board before: "Yeah, at Westchester I made four birdies in a row, but then I started going bad, so while one guy was still putting up the Y, another guy was taking down the D."
The usual suspects: Oakmont, Southern Hills, Oakland Hills. Lee Trevino said this about Oakmont at the 1978 PGA: "The only way you can stop a ball around here is to call a policeman." Jack Nicklaus was overheated at Southern Hills—one of the few places where he never won a major—in 1982: "I'm not sure I could play well at Southern Hills if it were air-conditioned," Jack said. Then there was Paul Goydos reviewing Oakland Hills' renovation for the 2008 PGA: "If you had Rees Jones re-do Scrabble," Paul said, "he'd leave out all the vowels."
I gave Tommy Bolt the award at Olympia Fields during the 1961 PGA after he was suspended indefinitely—it lasted two weeks—for using "vulgar and abusive language." Part of his rant: "Man, everybody cusses. I cuss, sure. But I cuss myself, don't you see? If they suspend everybody out here who cusses, they ain't gonna have nobody left on the tour but the folks who do the suspendin.' "
Bruce Crampton, in 1975 at Firestone, after finishing second to Jack Nicklaus for the fourth time in a major: "We all suffer from human deficiencies. Jack just suffers from fewer of them."
Andres Romero, explaining a 78 at Oakland Hills after making a quadruple-bogey 8 at the 16th hole in 2008: "I was disconcentrated the rest of the round."
Nicklaus almost won a sixth PGA at Riviera in 1983, shooting a final-round 66 to finish a stroke behind Hal Sutton. A win would have given Nicklaus a spot on the 1983 Ryder Cup team—he also happened to be the captain—but maybe it's a good thing that Jack didn't bump Tom Watson. All Tom did was go 4-1, giving Jack's team a 14½-13½ victory.

New York State was divided into a set of subregions using a Smirnov test-based clustering algorithm (DeGaetano 1998). Using this procedure, stations were grouped based on geographic proximity and similarities among the timing of precipitation events throughout the annual cycle. In order to quantify station-to-station timing comparisons, the frequency of return period amount exceedences was tallied for each week throughout the annual cycle and used to construct a cumulative distribution function (CDF) for each station. These 'temporal' CDFs specify probabilities that a return period exceedence will not occur after a particular week in the annual cycle. Therefore, these empirical CDFs have near-zero probabilities for week 1 and a probability of 100% for week 52. Each subregion formed from this clustering procedure (7 subregions in New York) consisted of stations that have no statistical differences between their empirical 'temporal' CDFs.
Using all stations within a subregion, tallies were made of the number of times that a precipitation event greater than or equal to various magnitudes (0.01", 0.10", 0.25", 0.50") was preceded by dry periods ranging from 1 to 30 days in length. These tallies were accumulated for each day in the annual cycle. The conditional probabilities were computed for each dry period length (n) and day (j) as,
, (8)
where Cnj is the number of dry periods of length n ending on day j over all stations in a subregion, and Tj is the total number of precipitation events with a magnitude equal to or exceeding a certain amount that occurred on day j over all stations. Tj was always greater than zero and thus the ratio in equation 8 was always defined.
To account for some of the sampling variability, daily values are smoothed using a 15-day moving average. Therefore, for instance, values corresponding to julian day j represent averages of values computed for days (j-7) through (j+7). Values corresponding to each dry period length-day pair is the daily conditional probability of ending a dry period of an equal or greater length, given the occurrence of a precipitation event meeting or exceeding the user-specified magnitude.

Lake George A motorcyclist fleeing from police at speeds as high as 140 miles per hour was arrested, sent to jail, and now faces multiple charges, authorities said.
At about 3 p.m. Sept. 1, Sheriff's Patrol Officer Jason Martindale attempted to stop a 2006 Suzuki motorcycle traveling at 110 m.p.h. south on I-87.
The motorcyclist, William G. Moll, 41, of Cohoes, fled south from Northway Exit 19 where he used the U turn path south of Exit 18 to change directions and proceed north on I-87, police said. He continued his run from authorities until he was stopped on the northbound off-ramp at I-87 Exit 22 in Lake George where he then resisted arrest by struggling with officers, police said.
Moll faces a felony charge of first-degree Reckless Endangerment and the Misdemeanors of Resisting Arrest, fourth-degree Criminal Mischief and third-degree Unlawful Flight from a Police Officer. He was also charged with many traffic violations.
Moll was arraigned in Queensbury Town Court where he was sent to Warren County Jail for lack of $15,000 bail.

Brad joined the 23 Storm Team in November 2013.
Brad joined the 23 Storm Team in November 2013. He has been a weather nut for as long as he can remember, and knew from an early age that a career in meteorology was for him. After growing up in the bitter cold of the Northwoods of Wisconsin, he attended the University of Wisconsin – Madison, graduating with a degree in meteorology in 2010. He later attended the Illinois Center for Broadcasting and graduated with a degree in TV and Radio Broadcasting in 2012.
In addition to his educational background, Brad has many additional experiences relating to weather and broadcasting. After graduating from UW, he participated in a three-week storm chasing class that took him everywhere from Oklahoma to North Dakota to areas closer to home here in the Midwest, including Illinois. This was one of his most exciting weather experiences to date, even seeing his first and only tornado in Nebraska. He experienced much quieter weather while interning at WAOW in Wausau, WI, WKOW in Madison, WI, and at WMAQ in Chicago.
Along with his weather background, Brad also has experience doing play-by-play for local sporting events. In 2012, he served as the voice of Loyola Ramblers women's volleyball, as well as broadcasting for many Chicago area high school teams and sports with High School Cube.
During his first weekend at WIFR, the Stateline was hit with severe thunderstorms – in November. Since then, Brad has forecasted blizzards, ice storms, snow, and dangerous cold. While most people would shudder at this variety of weather, Brad enjoys the wide variety of conditions of the Stateline.
In his spare time, Brad likes getting out and getting to know the area better. If you have any ideas for him, or any news stories, you can contact him by e-mail, Facebook, or Twitter. You can also catch his forecasts on Saturdays at 6 and 10 PM, and Sundays at 10 PM.

Trading in Hanoi's real estate market in November remains low
Hanoi property market continues to remain subdued. The notable point in Hanoi property market is the price increase of the western land, however, the trading was low. Office for lease segment is predicted to continue declining in 2011.
Hanoi will restart the Red River planning. Seoul will integrate this planning with the Hanoi Capital Construction Master Plan. This project is expected to have $7 billion scheme and relocate 39,000 households. The planning area stretches from Chem to Bat Trang, which is about 40-kilometre length.
In late October, Hanoi Department of Planning and Architecture announced a list of 16 pending projects waiting for zoning, including Kim Chung – Di Trach urban zone project, which has aroused the public opinion in November. The reason is that there are eight industrial complex projects in the urban development area. Kim Chung – Di Trach urban zone has Highway Three and Five running through, thus, the planning should be adjusted. The pending time depends on the zoning adjustment.
According to Knight Frank, the office for lease market in Hanoi in 2011 would continue to have over supply and decreasing prices. New large-scale office buildings would continue being put in to use in 2011, especially the ones in the west of the city. Downtrend would continue to be seen in leasing prices to the end of 2011, and recovery might be seen from 2012.
The price of peri-urban land in the west of Hanoi has increased by 15 to 20 percent compared to the previous two months. Price of the land in new urban zones in Ha Dong area facing 40-metre road has gone up to 100 million dong per square metre. However, the liquidity of the market is actually less exciting, and the trading volume is low.
The first apartments for low-income people of investor Vinaconex Xuan Mai at CT1 building Ngo Thi Nham, Ha Dong has been put up for sale. Picking the right to buy is one of the selling forms used. This type of apartment has later been advertised in the market with the price difference of 700 million dong per unit. However, for this type of apartment, regulations only allow owners to sell after 10 years.
Foreign capital flows have shown signs of returning. According to the latest figures of the Foreign Investment Agency under Ministry of Planning and Investment, to the end of the third quarter 2010, foreign investors have disbursed over $8 billion for the projects in Vietnam. Particularly, average size of capital investment for a project in real estate sector is at nearly $145 million per project.
According to results of the inspection team on golf course projects, there are 117 projects nationwide, of which, 90 are in the planning under Decision No.1946/QĐ-TTg and 27 are not included in the planning. Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment requested the provinces to suspend those 27 projects till 2020.
The Dong La industrial complex project located close to the 4th Ring Road in Hoai Duc District by Hanoi Investment Consultant and Construction Joint Stock Company was transformed into Dong La urban area project. Hanoi's authorities have formally proposed the government Office to consider and report to the prime minister on allowing the above company to continue the implementation of Dong La urban area project.
On November 24, 2010, the National Assembly has adopted the Resolution on tax reduction or exemption of agricultural land use, which will take effect from January 1, 2011. This resolution will be implemented during 2011-2020 period.
The supply of apartments in Hanoi has increased dramatically in the last months of the year. Many medium-price apartments have been sold in the end of the year at average price of around 20 million dong per square metre. Recently, Nam Cuong Group has launched into the market approximately 1,600 apartments. Other projects such as Hanoi Times Tower with 600 apartments, the Victoria Van Phu, Business Tower, Royal city R5 apartments, apartments in Rung Co eco-park, etc. will also be launched. According to forecast of CBRE, the market would welcome about 3,000 new apartments in the fourth quarter 2010.

Transcript:What is Castling?
Hello, I'm Doctor Stephen Pruitt for About.com, and today we're going to learn how to castle, in chess.
Castling with the King and Rook
In chess there is a move called castling. It is unique only to the king and the rook, the king partners with. It is a move that is usually done at the beginning of a game. In fact it is often suggested that a player try to preform this move as early as possible in a game in order to provide better protection for the king.
When to Castle
There are a few stipulations that must be met in order for a player to castle. First, there can be no other piece between the king and the rook. Also, this has to be the first move for both pieces. Finally the king cannot be in check, and castling cannot move the king through check. If all of this criteria is met then the king moves two spaces toward the rook. This can be either the kingside or queenside rook. The rook moves in a horizontal line, jumping the king and landing in the square directly next to the king.
If the rook was kingside it moved two spaces. If the rook was queenside it moved three spaces. The king always moves only two spaces during castling.
Why Castling is Done
This move is very valuable when done early in the game because it protects the king by moving him away from the center of the board. It can offer extra protection if the pawns that guard that corner of the board are not moved out prior to castling. This gives a line of defense in front of the king, and provides those pawns with the defense of the king.
Another advantage of this play is that it moves the rook into the center of the board, allowing him to be active earlier in the game.
In tournament play it is important to remember that castling is a king's move and therefore the king should be touched first. The move should be completed with one had. Although these rules are not enforced in most casual play they are good practices to follow.
Good luck with your game, for more information on how to play chess please visit us on the web, at About.com.

This invention relates to tools for crimping ferrule fittings on the ends of flexible hoses. More particularly, it relates to a portable device of this type for producing a "bubble crimp" in a wide variety of fittings, including ones with odd-angled, or otherwise awkward to handle, plumbing arrangements.
The use of crimped fittings to provide flow connection couplings to the ends of flexible hosing is widely practiced. One example of flexible hoses in which such connections are used is in vehicle air conditioning systems, wherein a refrigerant such as freon is circulated by the hoses. The provision of leak-tight connections at the hose ends is a matter of great concern in this industry.
The typical hose fitting has a tubular insert which slides into the hose, and a sleeve or ferrule which surrounds the end of the hose. The connection is secured by crimping the ferrule tightly about the end of the hose, so that the hose is gripped between the tubular insert and the ferrule.
One portable device for accomplishing the crimping step is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,192,171, owned by the assignee of this invention. That patent shows a tool for crimping a ferrule fitting which employs a barbed tubular insert as part of the fitting. The device is not suitable, however, for producing a fluid tight crimp with a hose fitting which employs a smooth or grooved tubular insert. There exists a need for a relatively simple and portable device suitable for producing leak-tight bubble crimps on fittings being connected to a hose. While relatively heavy equipment is known for this purpose, no one to our knowledge has produced a relatively inexpensive device which is lightweight and may be operated while hand-held, including in situ under an automobile hood. The device of this invention satisfies these criteria and is adapted to ready use even where the tubing system being treated has odd-angles or otherwise is awkward to place in a crimper.
One object of this invention is to provide a relatively simple and inexpensive portable device for use in repair of hose units employing hose fittings. The invention also serves the objective of providing a crimper which may be operated on a wide variety of couplings, including those of odd shape or unusual geometric configuration, to secure them by bubble crimping to a hose.
In accordance with the invention, there is provided a slim-line portable hose ferrule crimper which may be held in the hand. The crimper includes a bar and a pair of spaced parallel tracks extending from one side thereof. A first die holder is mounted on the tracks for holding the first half of a crimping die set in position between the tracks. A second die holder is secured releasably at a fixed location on the tracks spaced from the bar, for holding a second half of the die crimping set in confronting relation to the first half of the die crimping set. A threaded activator extends through the bar and engages the first die holder for causing movement of the first die holder with respect to the bar toward the second die holder to effectuate a bubble crimp of a ferrule positioned between the two die holders. A latch securing the second die holder in position on the tracks is actuatable to release the second die holder for removal thereof from the apparatus, simplifying the positioning of the connector to be crimped.
In a specific embodiment, each track of the crimper is provided with a recessed locking shoulder and the latch comprises a latch plate carried by the second die holder for engaging the locking shoulder of each track, so that the second die holder may be securely positioned in a stationary fixed position on the tracks. The latch plate is movable to disengage from the track shoulders and release the second die holder.
In a particular form of the invention, the latch plate is formed with opposed hooks at its ends for engaging the track locking shoulder, and is pivotally mounted on the second die holder so that the hooks may be swung away from the tracks.
In a specific embodiment, the threaded activator is provided with a fitting for engagement by an impact wrench, and is interconnected with the first die holder by a pair of pins extending through the first die holder to engage a locating shoulder provided near one end of the activator.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention and for further advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following Description of the Preferred Embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a slim-line portable crimper constructed in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 2--2 in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the device depicted in FIG. 1.
An embodiment of the hand-held crimper constructed in accordance with the invention as illustrated in the drawings, includes a bar 11 having a pair of threaded track-receiving apertures 13 formed therein. A pair of guide tracks in the form of solid rods 15 extend from face 17 of bar 11. The tracks 15 are provided with threaded ends 19 for securement in track receiving apertures 13. Wrench flats 21 are provided on tracks 15 for tightening track 15 securely in apertures 13. Near the end of each track 15 remote from bar 11 is provided a latching recess 23. Each recess 23 is defined by a shoulder 25 at right angles to the axis of tracks 15 on the side of recess 23 remote from bar 11. At the opposite side of recess 23, a frustoconical surface 27 provides the transition between the narrow diameter of recess 23 and the full diameter of the track 15.
A first actuatable die holder 31 is mounted on tracks 15 by means of apertures 33 therein which slide over tracks 15. Holder 31 is provided with a central aperture 35 for receiving an actuator screw 37 to cause crimping movement of first die holder 31. Actuator screw 37 extends through central threaded aperture 39 in bar 11, and has its reduced end 41 extending into aperture 35 in first die holder 31. The opposite end of actuator screw 37 is provided with a hex head 43 suitable for engagement by an impact wrench to cause rotation of screw 37 and thus translational movement of die holder 31. The reduced diameter end 41 of actuator screw 37 is provided with a thrust bearing-race set 45, and is coupled to die holder 31 at a locating recess 47 on actuator screw 37. A pair of roll pins 49 extend transversely through holder 31 and engage locating shoulder 47 to interconnect the die holder 31 with actuator screw 37. Die holder 31 is formed with a die-receiving recess 51 which releasably holds a conventional bubble crimping die half 53 between a pair of releasable plates 55 (only one of which is shown in FIGS. 1 and 3) in a conventional manner. The first die holder 31 thus presents one-half of a crimping die set facing away from bar 11 for movement up and down tracks 15 in accordance with rotation of actuator screw 37.
A second die holder 61 is releasably held on tracks 15 in a fixed location by positioning tracks 15 through apertures 63 on holder 61. The side of second holder 61 remote from bar 11 carries a latch plate 65 releasably securing second holder 61 in its fixed location on the tracks 15. Latch plate 65 is pivotally held by threaded pivot pin 67 secured into the body of second die holder 61 through spring 69. A pair of oppositely facing hooks 71 and 73 are formed on the ends of latch plate 65. When pivoted in one direction, latch plate 65 causes hooks 71 and 73 to engage the locking recesses 23 on the tracks 15 securing second die holder 61 in a fixed position. Locating pin 75 formed on latch plate 65 mates with a curved recess 77 in the end of holder 61 to guide the plate 65 as it pivots about pin 67 to release hooks 71 and 73 from tracks 15. When pivoted to the release position, the die holder 61 is free to be slid along tracks 15, and even removed from the apparatus if that is required for clearance to position a fitting to be crimped.
As in the case of die holder 31, holder 61 has a conventional crimping die half 76 which faces toward crimping die half 53 on holder 31. Crimping die half 76 is releasably held in position by side plates 83.
As indicated in FIG. 1, a fitting 78 having a crimpable ferrule 79 may be positioned over a hose 80. The ferrule is positioned between the die halves 53 and 76. The crimp is formed by turning actuator screw 37 to advance first die holder 31 and compress the die halves 53 and 76 around the ferrule 79.
The overall crimper is highly portable. Its major dimensions are only approximately six inches by twelve inches, and the thickness is less than two inches. It may be readily operated while hand held, or may be bench mounted by means of threaded aperture 81 on bar 11. It is so small and lightweight that it may be used to produce crimps in place under automobile hoods. Where the geometry of the fitting requires, second die holder 61 may be removed from the apparatus while the remainder of the apparatus is placed in position adjacent the ferrule to be crimped and the die holder 61 may then be positioned on the tracks 15 and locked into place by latch plate 65. Although completely removable, the latch plate arrangement, abutting as it does right angle shoulder 25, provides sufficient rigidity to support the substantial forces necessary to form a satisfactory bubble crimp.
Whereas the present invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments thereof, it will be understood that various changes and modifications will be suggested to one skilled in the art and it is intended to encompass such changes and modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Operating manual for spaceship earth
Simon and Schuster, 1969 - 143 Seiten
R. Buckminster Fuller's Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, published in 1969, imagines our species as a crew, united by a shared fate, on a tiny spaceship traveling through infinity. It can be read even today as the most intelligent metaphor for thinking about humankind on this planet. Fuller accepted the challenge pre-sented by this metaphor, using his inventions & writings to contribute to the safe operations of Spaceship Earth. This title is an exact facsimile of the 1969 edition.

break-up of Gondwana and the subsequent formation of the ocean gateways between continental fragments. Both AGAP and POLENET will contribute to resolving the history of extension in the Ross Sea, while controls on Transantarctic Mountains uplift will be elucidated by both Plates and Gates and ANDRILL. The origin, history, and stability of the Antarctic ice sheets will be addressed by all these projects.
As of this writing we are still at an early stage of the IPY 2007-2008, less than six months after the official opening in Paris and around the globe on March 1, 2007. Since the identification of funding for national components of IPY 2007-2008–approved projects is still ongoing in many countries, it remains difficult to fathom the full breadth of the IPY 2007-2008. But several hundred million dollars of new money for polar science is already available, and more is likely.
Even at this early stage it is useful to consider the pitfalls that other IPYs have encountered that prevented them from realizing their full potential. The results of the first IPY were never fully realized because each nation worked to publish their data individually. The data were not openly shared, and long-term collaboration between nations did not materialize. In our more electronically connected world there is little excuse for data not to be openly shared and deposited in the appropriate data repository so that future generations can make use of this precious resource.
Building collaborations within a discipline is simple. The challenge for this IPY 2007-2008 is to establish long-lasting, effective working relationships across disciplines. Many of the projects contain the seeds of these difficult multidisciplinary relationships, whether between modelers and field scientists or between biologists and geophysicists. These interactions must be fostered and developed. Collaborations built on shared data and shared passions in Earth systems are essential. Interdisciplinary science is difficult, but it will be the only way Earth science will remain relevant to society, and it is the only way to gain the full return from our investment. True, open interdisciplinary collaboration will serve to advance our understanding of the poles and the role they play in our planetary system.
