Radcliffe Allergic to Harry Potter Glasses
In an exclusive interview with Daniel Radcliffe and J.K Rowling, the actor admits he was allergic to Harry's glasses.
By: Ashley Baylen
Daniel Radcliffe, best known for his role as 'Harry Potter' recently revealed in an exclusive interview with the series' author, J.K Rowling that he was allergic to the first pair of glasses he was given.
The interview between Radcliffe and Rowling is one of many special features on the 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" Blu-ray and DVD set.
"It was brilliant because we put the glasses on and eventually we realized that I was allergic to them," Radcliffe explains.
"I was actually allergic to the Harry Potter glasses. Because I had these two rings of white heads and spots that had come up around my eyes and it took us a week to realize that it was actually the glasses," he continued.
The one-hour long interview is a must see for all 'Harry Potter' fans. It's fascinating to hear how the book series changed the lives of both author and film star.
In response to Radcliffe's allergy comment, Rowling jokingly says, "It's lucky neither of us believe in signs, isn't it?"

Yes we did.
How'd I watch and share the election results in Krakow? On the internet. I finally went to sleep when the sun was coming up. Screen looked something like this:
Browser with ton o' tabs (CNN, Kos, Drudge, Pollster, Slate, email, FB), IM conversations, Skype live video chat with Andrew, Erin & King, Twitter tweets, and streaming MSNBC TV.
He did it. America did it.
I'll keep this (relatively) brief because this is not a political blog, but from an American world traveler's perspective, the 2008 presidential election has been more than just a side note as I move from country to country and the results mean more than just a little to me as someone representing America to the rest of the world.
To the folks at home, I know from first-hand experience that the rest of the world is, generally and eloquently speaking, balls-out elated right now.
The world cares. A lot.
Everywhere I've been, people asked me about the election. "Have you voted? Who will win? What do you think?" It almost always came up. This goes for Peru, Colombia, Argentina, and Poland — and the people from all sorts of other countries I've met while traveling in these countries. (Australia, Germany, Israel, France, Brazil, etc.)
When they ask if I voted, I proudly said that I did — absentee. Then I say that my vote was for Barack Obama.
With the exception of one time*, the mention of Obama's name immediately cuts the inherent tension in having a political discussion with someone who's leanings you don't know. None of them are sure initially if I'm a Bush guy or something, but when they hear that I voted for Obama, they relax and smile, the floodgates open, and the conversation gets interesting and honest.
* I met a Colombian Cab driver who insisted that America was "not ready for a black president" and that America needed a "strong man" to lead it. As an example, he explained that, more or less, everything that George Bush has done after 9/11 has been the right thing to do. I actually bet him $15 that Obama would win. Guess I need to go back to Colombia to collect now.
The world is well informed.
During these conversations, I am continually impressed with the breadth of knowledge people in other countries have about news and politics in the United States. Many of them are probably better informed (and even care more) about our politics than Joe Six-Pack. Cabbies in Colombia, other travelers, bartenders, whoever. They largely know a surprising amount about our politics and they can talk intelligently about it.
The world loves Obama…
… and summarily seems to hate George Bush. According to my unscientific survey, of course.
They seemed at the very least unexcited about John McCain. Reactions towards Palin were probably best summed up by the 50 year-old Scottish car mechanic at the hostel in Krakow, "Oh, shite. She's a nutter, that one."
I'm not sure how many times I've heard variants of the phrase, "Well everyone in my country hopes you elect Barack Obama." "We want Obama." "If I could vote, I'd vote for Obama."
I'm sure there are exceptions, but other than the war-mongering Colombian cab driver, I have yet to personally meet anyone.
And me?
This means a lot to me.
I have generally been quick to say negative things about America and what our policies represent around the world because I've disagreed with what we've done on the international stage and who we've chosen to lead us. Since I've actually cared about politics and the news, I've always felt a mistrust, a shiestiness, and general douchebaggyness surrounding the whole affair of America and it's politics. I've been a cynic about a system that I've never felt included in.
That may have changed last night at 6:00 in the morning sitting in a small studio apartment in Krakow watching MSNBC streaming video online while I video chatted with friends in their living room.
Sitting on the other side of the Atlantic and for the first time in my life, I actually feel pride in my country. I am proud of what we've done and what it means. I am proud that we are showing the world we might not be nincompoops after all. The Little Snowball in Hell that has yet to melt and I are proud of the state of Indiana which looks to go BLUE. (!) I'm not gonna start blaring that one "Proud to Be An American" country song or anything, but at least I know America hasn't totally lost it's shit.
(Apparently one of the Scottish med students I met in Arequipa, Peru feels the same way. She just updated her Facebook status to say, "happy Americans-aren't-so-stupid-after-all day." See what I mean?)
Even if Obama biffs it or even if one were to argue that the election of Obama was merely a rejection of the Bush administration and not an endorsement of Obama, that's still enough for me to walk prouder around the world.
Maybe now the next time I'm at a random pub in another country and strike up a conversation with someone, I won't have to ready my battery of, "But, hey, don't worry – I'm one of the Good Americans!" explainers when they ask where I'm from.
Finally. I might just have faith in America again.
Thanks, people.
Editor's Note: And to the McCain supporters and/or Barack cynics: Don't sweat it. I ain't judgin'. I still do appreciate a variety of opinions even if I and the rest of the world tend not to agree with them. This is America, after all.

i think about being in chicago public schools and how people of color always get shit on; and then seeing everyone in grant park… oohhh..
this is so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so huge
remember after the last election, nate? remember what you said?
i am so happy.
# Asmaon 05 Nov 2008 at 1:19 pm
Nicely written Nathan! Even though I can't vote, but that didn't hold me or any of my other (non-voter) friends back from cheering, celebrating, dancing, or getting all emotional and shout our lungs out when Obama won.
Funny thing is, right after the declaration of Obama's win, me and my friend, Shubhra, called our friends and families back home (Bangladesh and India respectively) and congratulated each other. It was a weird feeling, and I really didn't know why we all were SO INVESTED in this election…… all around the world. Obviously people want some important issues on world politics to be resolved, and they are now optimistic that some good things will happen in future.
I, was ecstatic to be a part of history though. And, I got emotional. And got goosebumps while hearing that guy give his victory speech. And for a guy I don't even know… hahaha.
Absentee voter pride, baby.
# GaByon 05 Nov 2008 at 9:18 pm
It is the first time I feel so proud of a country which is not mine, I have lived this elections intensely and yes I feel very happy with the results, THANK GOD!. Now you all are showing to the world the real United States of America.
I like this post, awwww you write so nice!!! ( dont say naaaa hehe)…..I always feel so proud of you, muak!
# Gromskion 05 Nov 2008 at 11:46 pm
Yesterday was a lot of fun. Your parents probably received 10 phone calls asking if you had voted already. The Obama campaign made over 1.2 million phone calls yesterday.
How about Indiana? I knew it would go blue when the results were close and Lake County hadn't reported completely yet.
# stileson 08 Nov 2008 at 11:02 am
Cool post. So many Americans need to take the trip you are taking and check under the hood of the rest of the world. It is sad to me that there are still so many people here who see this election as the beginning of the end, rather than the end of the beginning.
# Jacobon 10 Nov 2008 at 9:56 pm
Glad to hear things are going well. I must admit, I was not all that surprised to see you eat the balls. South America was all about Rosey and it looks like Poland is full of balls.
Seriously….glad to see that you are out and about and enjoying your time. I'm just waiting for the picture with the high schooler!!
# Tracey Smarsh A.K.A. T Smaon 14 Nov 2008 at 3:07 pm
At least, that is ALL I see in Sant Fe, New Mexico. All hail the Latin vote. I did not see a McCain sign until 3 days prior to the election & I almost drove my car off the side of the road. Thank God for all of the liberal hippies in Fanta Se!
Regardless, I am using this reply as a contact method to get back to my dear friend, Mr. Shipley. I no longer have your E-mail. as I no longer have my IUPUI address any longer. And sadly I have missed both of your phone call…one, yesterday! I check your blog weekly, and I miss our chats dearly. I am glad to see you doing well. Hopefully, we can get into contact via email. Miss you darling! xoxo

Students recognized for their singing voices
Thirteen students from the Briarcliff Manor school district were selected to participate in the prestigious American Choral Directors Association National Honors Choir, a group of talented choral students brought together to perform before esteemed choral educators, professionals and adjudicators. This year's concert was held in conjunction with the Association's annual conference, which was held March 15-17 in Dallas.
The National Youth Honor Choir students were Isabella Gualtiere, Yasmin Hill, Sophie Kirsch, Ally Labick, Alexandra Laguardia, Kevin Morrissy, Matt Stewart and Stella Ross from Todd Elementary School; Emma Diller, Emma Kuhn and Kelly O'Donnell from Briarcliff Middle School. The National Middle/Junior High School Honor Choir student was Kelly Hooper of Briarcliff Middle School. The National High School Mixed Honor Choir student was Rebecca Simpson-Wallack of Briarcliff High School.
John Banks, Briarcliff's coordinator of the performing arts, K-12, who also directs both the middle and high school choral groups, and Wilma Messenger, a vocal/choral teacher at Todd Elementary School, sponsored the students for their respective schools. Students participated in "blind auditions" by singing select numbers a cappella, changing scales frequently from mid to high to low range.
The ACDA promotes excellence in choral music through workshops, symposia, choral program exchanges and opportunities such as the National Honors Choir Concert.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida has more than 1,400 new foster homes.
The Florida Department of Children and Families said Friday that it's added 1,463 new foster homes in the past year. There are only 291 more foster homes overall compared to last year. That's because many foster homes don't renew or lose their license for various reasons. The state has a total of 4,678 licensed foster care providers.
ChildNet Inc., the foster care contractor for the state in Broward and Palm Beach counties, added a combined total of 282 new foster homes this past fiscal year.
DCF's Interim Secretary Mike Carroll credited private contractors around the state with recruiting, licensing and matching foster parents with children in need of short and long-term homes.

Somewhat agree. The wage cap for medicare deductions (about 103k now) should be dropped. There should be no wage cap. So if you make 200k per year you must still keep paying the medicare payroll tax.
WHile is is certainly true that our current model for delivery of heatlh care is inefficient and gives incentives to physicians to provide more (not neccesarily better) care, to say that patients don't play a part is simply not the case. As a practicing physician, I daily see patients demanding that something be done for them, even though they have a self limiting or untreatable problem. An example is a patient demanding antibiotics for a common cold, and going to multiple providers until they get what they want. Or the patient pushing to have a new MRI for low back pain, when they had a previous MRI 8 months ago which was essentially normal. When the patient has no stake in keeping costs low (such as medicare where care is essentially free) the patient also has an incentive to seek more and more services.
There is no wage cap on Medicare tax payments if that is what you mean. You are thinking of Social Security
More of the same. Let heartless "administrators" and "experts" decide who will live and die, who will get an MRI and who will not. HAHA, otherwise she speaks of "restricting" pay to providers? HAHAHAHA. I wouldn't take a handout from medicare if they even gave it for free, because no matter what it would be, it would lead to noting but sorrows. I know how everyone cusses at medicare and only do it since their masters (the feudal hospital managers) tell them to or get fired. She speaks like medicare is the holy grail of success for a physician, the benchmark for your skill and competence...
This is indeed laughable if you stand outside organized medicine (as an MD) and look at this. WOW, Obamacare is even more debacled every day at work than we even thought possible.

Madhavan Nair, professor and chair, and Sakhrat Khizroev, professor and vice chair of the HWCOM's Department of Immunology, used magneto-electric nanoparticles (MENs) to cross the blood-brain barrier and send a significantly increased level of AZTTP—up to 97 percent more —to HIV-infected cells.
For years, the blood-brain barrier has stumped scientists and doctors who work with neurological diseases. A natural filter that allows very few substances to pass through to the brain, the blood-brain barrier keeps most medicines from reaching the brain. Currently, more than 99 percent of the antiretroviral therapies used to treat HIV, such as AZTTP, are deposited in the liver, lungs and other organs before they reach the brain.
"This allows a virus, such as AIDS, to lurk unchecked," said Nair, an HIV/immunology researcher.
The patent-pending technique developed by FIU binds the drug to a MEN inserted into a monocyte/macrophage cell, which is then injected into the body and drawn to the brain. Once it has reached the brain, a low energy electrical current triggers a release of the drug, which is then guided to its target with magnetoelectricity. In lab experiments, nearly all of the therapy reached its intended target. It will soon enter the next phase of testing. For visuals please click here.
Potentially, this method of delivery could help other patients who suffer from neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, meningitis and chronic pain. It could also be applicable to diseases such as cancer.
"We see this as a multifunctional therapy," said Khizroev, who is an electrical engineer and physicist by training.
Multi-disciplinary efforts that combine principles of those fields with immunology enabled the project to move forward.
"The success of our nanotechnology is derived from the fact that nature likes simplicity," Khizroev said.

There is immense pressure on start-ups and midsized companies to deliver new
products. Both small companies and large established companies feel pressure to
cut research and development costs. The growing commercial pressure and rising
research and development costs have prompted these companies to seek support for
their testing and consulting
needs. Allegiance NanoSolutions has proven to be an extremely
valuable partner to companies that are looking to reduce their overhead costs
and improve the quality of their analysis. Allegiance
NanoSolutions provides their partners the ability to focus on the core
competence of their business.
A nanotechnology based company involved in the manufacturing of nanoparticles
developed a problem of controlling the properties of the material when produced
in different quantities. The desired properties were seen in the lab prepared
samples; however the properties of these nanomaterials appeared to be changing,
when manufactured in large quantities. Allegiance
NanoSolutions' expert team was contacted to analyze the situation and solve
the problem.
The team at Allegiance studied the bulk manufacturing and lab preparation
processes and collected the necessary samples. Thorough analysis of these
samples revealed the generation of contaminants in the material that was
manufactured in bulk. The Allegiance team was able to identify and prove the
source of contamination, and helped the customer eliminate the problem by
incorporating a method to purify the preparation in the overall manufacturing
Allegiance NanoSolutions was able to provide this company with
effective and timely results, allowing them to move forward with their
operations. This project not only saved time and money for the end user, but Allegiance
NanoSolutions was also able to offer a definite solution to their problem as
Allegiance NanoSolutions provides Analytical
Testing & Consulting services for companies with emerging Nano and Micro
technology based products. Our facilities help Start Ups, Mid Sized & Large
Commercial & Industrial entities as well as Government Organizations
throughout North America with Analytical
Testing solutions. Allegiance NanoSolutions also supports a broad spectrum of
Nanotechnology based research programs and contract manufacturing for private

Police in Milwaukee today (Thursday 6 February) confirmed that a violin recovered from the attic of a house in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood is the rare Lipinski Stradivarius stolen from the Milwaukee Symphony's concertmaster last Monday (27 January).
Three people were arrested Wednesday, apparently in connection with the theft. One was later released. As of Thursday, no charges had been filed, but that's expected on Friday.
Concertmaster Frank Almond had been shot with a stun gun. Police say that information from Taser International led them to a Milwaukee resident. On a tip, they also detained a man previously convicted of a 1995 theft from a Milwaukee art gallery.
One of the suspects led police to an acquaintance's home. There, armed with a search warrant, they found the violin in a suitcase, apparently undamaged. The special custom-made violin case that Almond had used to protect the instrument had earlier been found empty near the scene of his attack.
Almond has scars on his wrist and chest from the stun gun used to assault him, but he's otherwise physically unharmed.
The recovered Lipinski Strad is back with its anonymous owners. Prior to 2008, when they allowed Almond to use the instrument, they'd kept it in a bank vault. Almond expects to be reunited with the violin this weekend.
In recent years, more rare instruments have become investments for wealthy collectors. This trend is pricing fine historical instruments beyond the means of many working musicians.
However, when collectors lend those instruments to musicians, the instruments grow in reputation and value. Regular use and maintenance also keeps them in better shape than if they were stored away.
Some concern remains that this theft might prompt some collectors to think twice before lending their instruments. Musicians and orchestras also worry about its effect on already-high instrument insurance premiums.
On the other hand, indications are that this was strictly a local job, not a major international heist. That and the speedy recovery are good news for musicians and music lovers.

Wildwood, NJ
Get high with a little help from the Wildwood International Kite Festival-and some wild rides-on Jersey's girthiest beach.
Tue May 12 2009
CommentsAdd +
BEST WEEKEND TO GO: May 22-25
DISTANCE: 157 mi -- about 2 hours 50 mins
WHY GO: It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...an enormous kite in the shape of a scuba diver? Yes, you can spot that and dozens of other colorful, unusual kites flying high above the beach at the 24th Annual Wildwood International Kite Festival (wildwoodsnj.com), the largest, longest-running such thing in the country. "It's very similar to figure skating," says event organizer Beatrix Pelton of the spectacle, where two- and four-line creations are flown based on a routine set to music. "It's the same thing, but with kites." (And fewer sequins, like it or not.) It all kicks off on Friday 22 at 9pm with a Nite Kite Fly, featuring illuminated oddities strung with lights, followed by fireworks. Then you can catch the East Coast Stunt Kite Championships on Saturday and Sunday near Rio Grande Avenue, where most of the weekend's events take place, including kite flying lessons, a craft market, rokkaku and fighter- kite competitions (as in The Kite Runner), and the lofting of giant inflatable creatures that Pelton likens to hot-air balloons. "I never knew kites could look like that," says Jen A. Miller, a Jersey Shore guidebook author (downtheshorewithjen.com) who attended the festival last year. "Most of them are handmade and they're huge. The boardwalk is a great place to watch it." Best part? Every bit of it is f-r-e-e.
WHY STAY: It wouldn't be Memorial Day weekend without sunburn (not that we're condoning it, Leatherface); get yours on New Jersey's widest beach. At some points the sugar-fine sand stretches a mile between water's edge and the parking lot, so be prepared to walk. Avoid scorching your soles and stock up on flip-flops at local favorite Sand Jamm Surf Shop (2701 Boardwalk; 609-522-4650, sandjamm.com), which also sells sunglasses, bathing suits and surf- and skateboards. The two-mile-long boardwalk is chock-full of attractions thanks to Morey's Piers (3501 Boardwalk; 609-522-3900, moreyspiers.com), which operates more rides than Disneyland. A $55 combination day pass gets you unlimited access to amusements including the 140-foot Ferris wheel and two water parks, Ocean Oasis and Raging Waters, so you can float on the lazy river and shoot down waterslides and hydrochutes until you're pruney. When you've rid yourself of swimmer's ear, head to North Wildwood to embrace the cheeseball bar scene (hey, it goes nicely with that sunburn of yours). Keenan's Irish Pub (113 Olde New Jersey Ave; 609-729-3344, keenansirishpub.com) promises to be packed with a younger crowd both indoors and out. Flip Flopz Beach Bar & Grill (300 North New Jersey Ave, 609-522-3350) also boasts outdoor seating, plus a laid-back seashore vibe. The closest specialty cocktail you'll find in these parts (aside from draft beer) is at #1 Tavern (Atlantic Ave at First Ave; 609-522-1775, supertullynut.com), home to the Super Tully Nut ($8), a five-liquor-strong concoction only owner Mark Tully knows the recipe for. Miller assures us that it's "very strong and very pink."
WHAT TO EAT: Like overly gelled hair and cutoff-jean shorts, saltwater taffy and fudge are iconic of the Shore, and most locals agree the chewiest, creamiest varieties can be found at family-run Douglass Fudge (3300 Boardwalk; 609-522-3875, douglasscandies.com; $8.95 per pound). If you still haven't satisfied your sweet tooth, head to Duffer's (5210 Pacific Ave; 609-729-1817, dufferswildwood.com) for homemade scoops (single $3.75, double $4.75) and a round of minigolf ($5 before 5pm, $7 thereafter). Locals flip for the flapjacks at Samuel's Pancake House & Fudge (1610 Surf Ave, 609-522-6446), as evidenced by the lines snaking out the front door, but unlike in New York, you won't have to wait two hours for chocolate chip pancakes ($6.25) and fruit waffles ($8.25). When afternoon hunger pangs set in, hit the walk-up window at Mack's Pizza (4200 Boardwalk, 609-729-0244) for a plain slice, which should tide you over for the day. For dinner, get your red-sauce fill at Little Italy (5401 Atlantic Ave; 609-523-0999, littleitalywildwood.com), where Beatrix Pelton and the rest of the kite flyers who stick around gather on Monday night. Pelton usually orders the chicken marsala ($19.95) and assures us that with the big portions, you get bang for your buck: "Trust me, it's reasonably priced or us kite flyers wouldn't be going."
WHERE TO STAY: There's certainly no shortage of motels here—Wildwood practically invented the concept post--World War II. Many were constructed in what's now referred to as the "doo-wop" architectural style, which Miller likens to "something out of The Jetsons; very kitschy." For a newer hotel that maintains that vision, the StarLux (305 E Rio Grande Ave at Atlantic Ave; 609-522-7412, thestarlux.com; $197--$305 per night) boasts modern-day amenities like a concierge, pool and hot tub and is considered one of the nicer stays in the area. Original doo-wop motels are quickly fading as they're converted into condos, like the Lollipop Condominiums (2301 Atlantic Ave; 609-729-2800, lollipopcondos.com; four-person occupancy $85 per night), but if you want to experience the real deal, head to the Ala Kai Resort Motel (8301 Atlantic Ave; 609-522-2159, alakaimotel.com; $90-$115 per night) for an old classic that's recently been restored.
GET THERE: Whether you plan on driving yourself or hitching a ride on an NJ Transit--run bus, expect to get to know the traffic-clogged Garden State Parkway South intimately (it's Memorial Day weekend, what else did you expect?). By car, it should amount to a three-hour drive; from Port Authority, with a transfer in Atlantic City, the trip takes nearly six hours and costs $67.50 round-trip. Once you get there, wheels won't be necessary: A tramcar runs the length of the boardwalk and costs just $2 a ride.

30 of the world's best golfers will descend on the Gary Player Golf Course for this year's Nedbank Golf Challenge!

Johannesburg - Irvin Khoza will no longer be opposing incumbent Gideon Sam for the seat of Sascoc president, he said on Tuesday.
"I have applied my mind on the implication of my standing for Sascoc presidency and all other nominations," Khoza said in a statement.
"My thinking included the encouraging results from the London Olympics."
Khoza believed Sam and his executive had created a base, on which they should be supported.
"My experience is that it takes more than one term to stabilise an organisation into sustainable, winning ways."
The SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee revealed in October that the National Soccer League (NSL) chairman would contest Sam's position, and/or that of vice-president, at its quadrennial elections at Olympic House in Johannesburg on November 24.
At the time, Khoza said he had accepted the nominations in time to make the closing date, with an understanding with those who nominated him that he was keeping his options open.
He said he would use the time between then and the actual elections to apply his mind to the implications of his running.
After announcing his withdrawal from the race, Khoza, who was last week re-elected unopposed as NSL chief, said he would now put his weight behind Sam and his executive.
"I am therefore throwing my lot behind Mr Sam and his executive. I wish them luck over and above the hard work and dedication I know it takes to succeed," he said.
Sam, a former president of Swimming SA and Springbok team manager, has been president of the Olympic body since 2008, when he replaced former Sascoc chief Moss Mashishi.

How DOCSIS 3.1 Reduces Latency with Active Queue Management
June 6, 2014
By Greg White, Principal Architect, CableLabs – At CableLabs we sometimes think big picture, like unifying the worldwide PON standards, and sometimes we focus on little things that have big impacts. In the world of cable modems a lot has been said about the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth, the rock-solid historical trend where broadband […]Read More

The Leveraged Freedom Chair (LFC) is a wheelchair designed to go anywhere. Such a product is in dire need, as 14 million people who need a wheelchair in the developing world live in rural areas where rough roads and muddy walking paths provide the only connections to community, education, and income. The LFC's lever drivetrain enables its user to travel 10-20% faster on pavement than a conventional wheelchair and off-road, it's like no other mobility aid available. The user effectively changes gears by simply moving her hands on the levers; grasping high on the levers increases the mechanical advantage while grasping low increases speed. All moving parts on the LFC are made from bicycle components, making the chair manufacturable and repairable anywhere in the developing world. A recent trial in East Africa confirmed that the LFC is more capable off road than any other mobility aid, and that people with disabilities from many demographics can produce more power with less exertion using the lever drivetrain. Under a $50,000 grant from the Inter-American Development Bank, the next generation LFC will be developed, prototyped, and trialed in Guatemala starting in the spring of 2010. The LFC was a winner in the 2008 MIT IDEAS competition, won first place in the 2009 ASME IDETC Graduate Student Mechanism Design Competition, and is in the process of being patented.

As a veteran sophomore who has already played in one NAIA national championship, Hanks High graduate and current Our Lady of the Lake University golfer Nick Chacón was confident his team had done enough over the course of the season to earn a return trip to nationals this week in Salem, Ore.
As a freshman going through this for the first time, Chacón's former and present teammate Dustin Blair had an uneasy three weeks between his school's runner-up finish in the Red River Athletic Conference and the announcement May 10 that his Saints had the final at-large bid.
"It was painful," said Blair, 2011's El Paso Times All-City Boys Golfer of the Year. "I just didn't know. It played with my mind a little bit."
The uncertainty came in mid-April when the San Antonio university finished second at conference by five strokes to No. 3 Texas Wesleyan University, missing a chance at an upset and one of 20 automatic bids to nationals on the last hole.
That left the Saints needing to grab one of eight at-large bids, and they did indeed take the eighth one.
"It was a big relief," said Chacón, who was part of OLLU's team that qualified for nationals a year ago. "But I wasn't that worried. We had a good season and put up a good fight against the No. 3 team in the nation.
"I figured they would give us the benefit of the doubt."
The bid to the four-round tournament, which starts today, was a nice cap to a fun year for the Hanks alums, who are now part of a pipeline to the school.
While Blair could have gone to a Division I school, he decided to join Chacón at the NAIA level and has spent his first two semesters at college loving that choice.
"I would not change my decision," he said. "We have a solid group of guys and I could not ask for a better coach (Eric Moore), just the best coach I could have.
"It's been great. I could not ask for a better experience. It's been fun meeting new people, playing new courses."
Chacón feels the same way.
"I came up with my friend Cody and now I have another friend here in Dustin," he said. "And I couldn't ask for a better coach. I feel like I came to the right place.
"Dustin is like a brother to me. We've been together since junior tournaments. It's nice to have someone like him around."
Both of them feel they and their team are playing their best golf of the year heading into nationals. In the three-round conference tournament, Blair bounced back from a second-round 78 to close with a 70, finishing two strokes behind the ninth-place Chacón at 222.
"My game was clicking," Blair said of that third round. "My putts were going in, I was hitting shots close, everything was falling. Hopefully, I can take that positive feeling and have an impact at nationals."
Said Chacón: "This year I struggled a little bit, but the last few tournaments it's turned around. We went to a Division I tournament in Alabama and I played well, and I played well at conference so I'm on a little hot streak.
"Having gone to nationals last year is going to help a lot. Last year I was really nervous, but this year I feel a lot more prepared."
He'll get a chance to show what that means starting today in Oregon.

DMPs are available through the close of business on Oct. 1. DMPs are issued through a random selection process. ...

T-Mobile G2 preorders go live for existing subs
updated 08:25 am EDT, Fri September 24, 2010
T-Mobile starts taking G2 preorders
T-Mobile lived up to a last-minute note and started taking preorders for the G2. Current subscribers can order the phone online or at retail up until October 4 to guarantee they will get the Android slider on the October 6 launch for the wider public. The phone costs $200 on a contract or $500 without.
The G2 stands as the only current, major Android phone to use a pure version of the OS and has Android 2.2 without any custom interface. Hardware is a match for the Desire Z with its unique sliding mechanism as well as 14.4Mbps HSPA+ 3G support, an 800MHz processor, a 3.7-inch touchscreen and a five-megapixel camera. T-Mobile's main adaptation is to support 3G on its own frequencies.

Highmark-UPMC sideshow
I'm a Highmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield customer who is sick and tired of seeing and hearing commercials for the two biggest squabbling-like-brats corporations in the area: Highmark and UPMC.
It is infuriating and uncomfortable to sit through a popular former KDKA-TV anchor's recent commercial extolling the benefits of UPMC over Highmark. It is not informative but appears intended to scare people.
For crying out loud: Grow up! Act like the adults you supposedly are.
These commercials are inane, boring and infuriating. If they were meant to be informative, they might advertise pricing differences in, perhaps, diagnostic testing, instead of such scare tactics.
Why hasn't the state insurance commissioner locked representatives of both parties in a dark, hot, windowless cell with stale bread and water for sustenance until they come to an acceptable-to-patients agreement?
Why has state government permitted these two megaliths to force doctors to choose one company over the other and to remove from insurance networks hospitals and treatment centers that are close to patients' residences?
Somebody, please, get a gag order for both companies until they correct "the problem."

It's a drag for chief teaching bank about core valuesComment on this story
ABN Amro chairman and former Dutch finance minister Gerrit Zalm went on stage in an electric blue dress and golden gloves to portray a fictional brothel-owning sister teaching the bank about core values.
"The bank can learn a lot from the best practices in my company," Zalm, dressed as his "sister" Priscilla, said in the opening act of ABN Amro Cabaret 2014, held for employees in Amsterdam and two other Dutch cities this month. "Where has putting the customer first been the motto for centuries? In my industry. Those banks have discovered it only recently."
ABN Amro showed a recording of one of Zalm's six performances to reporters on Friday and posted footage on YouTube.
Zalm, 61, was hired by the Netherlands in 2008 to piece together the banking assets of a merged ABN and Fortis that it took over after the latter collapsed, costing the government e16.8 billion (R247bn). "He had to make ABN Amro a successful company again and had no idea how to do that," Priscilla (Zalm) said. "I told him you have to start with core values. In my company there are three: to be trusted, professional and ambitious."
The government said in August last year that it planned to sell the bank in an initial public offering next year at the earliest. – Bloomberg

Emily Yeh remembers journaling at a young age, back in kindergarten or first grade. After a hiatus she rekindled her passion, penning her first return entry the day she turned 18 as a way to remember a great childhood.
Those memories aren't lost if they're written down, said the young woman who values family, above all else, and speaks fondly of movie night with her parents and siblings.
Details are important to the Liberty Common School senior who talked quickly and emphatically about her 18 years on Earth so far. She was careful and calculated in her answers and quick to credit others in her life for their inspiration, love and support.
She's an academic stand-out with a 4.06 GPA and flurry of awards for outstanding work in science, Spanish, math and English her two favorite subjects. Count among her titles student body president, varsity soccer team captain three years running, two-time team MVP and treasurer of the school's National Honor Society.
And the list goes on.
Friends tease the self-acclaimed academic about being the perfect student, but Yeh said it doesn't come as easy as it may appear. High test scores and grades aren't without hard work and sacrifice, especially when ACT and SAT season rolled around her junior year.
Not many have an opportunity to see what Yeh gives up in pursuit of academic fulfillment. But her younger sister and best friend, Liz Yeh, 16, has a unique perspective.
I'm the one who sees her bedroom light on at 1 a.m. working on college applications, the Liberty sophomore and soccer teammate said.
Emily is the person who pushes Liz to do her best everyday. She's Liz's mentor, role model, the peace-keeper, the comic, her swing dancing partner in crime and talented public speaker who's nervous about speeches until the moment she gets up in front of the entire school and makes people laugh.
She's like my journal. I tell her everything, said Liz, who's confident the duo will talk daily when the eldest leaves for college.
Emily's father, Eric Yeh, said he and his wife Anne would like to take some credit for his capable, beautiful and athletic daughter but said she's worked hard and done it all.
She's pretty much like the kid the teenager I wish I would have been, said the local physician who enjoys listening to Emily play classics from 80's band Journey on the piano. A smile crosses his face thinking about his super smart but slightly naive daughter who's able to laugh at herself when she mispronounces common words.
Eric's medical career had the Yeh family move around a lot. And that meant Emily, Liz and their younger brother, Michael, bounced from school to school to school.
So Emily was happy when she finally settled at Liberty Common her sophomore year. It was at the small school she could play basketball and volleyball, embrace her role as a natural leader, Eric said, and discover who she was.
So what does the future hold?
Emily applied to a slew of colleges including a number of Ivy Leagues. While it wasn't set in stone prior to publication of this article, Brown was at the top of her list.
Regardless of the final pick, her sentiment about the next few years is the same:
I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do, said the young woman interested in law, business and writing but who knows there's more to explore.
She's truly one of those kids who can do anything she wants to, Eric said.
Of one thing she's certain: She doesn't want to follow in her father's footsteps. In fact, she's told her little brother he can be the family doctor.
