ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Tim Salmon gushed about the home run -- not his, the one by Barry Bonds.
''That was the farthest ball I've ever seen hit in this
ballpark, for sure,'' he said.
Salmon trumped that 485-foot shot with the drive that counted
the most.
He connected for his second homer of the night, a tiebreaking,
two-run shot with two outs in the eighth inning that lifted the
Anaheim Angels over the San Francisco Giants 11-10 Sunday, knotting
the World Series at one game each.
''We knew there was going to be a hero in the dugout,'' Salmon
said, ''and tonight it was me.''
Francisco Rodriguez made a major contribution by throwing three
perfect innings. The 20-year-old relief sensation became the
youngest pitcher to win a Series game.
Credit this seesaw victory, though, to Salmon.
Until this year, no active player in the majors had gone longer
than Salmon -- 1,388 games -- without reaching the postseason. But
that wasn't a well-known fact because Bonds has been the center of
attention, especially because this is his first Series, too.
But Salmon put the spotlight squarely on himself on this night
by homering to give the Angels their first-ever World Series victory.
''I think I made the most of my opportunities. It was awesome,''
Salmon said. ''The way the game went back-and-forth was
Salmon went 4-for-4 with a walk, driving in four runs and
scoring three. He capped his performance with a drive into the
Anaheim bullpen in left field that left Bonds hanging over the top
of the fence.
The homer off Felix Rodriguez capped the Angels' comeback from a
9-7 deficit. They had led 5-0 after the first inning before homers
rallied the Giants.
Francisco Rodriguez made the longest outing of his big league
career to improve to 5-0 in the postseason. He tied Randy Johnson's
record for victories in a postseason set last year.
Rodriguez's locker in the Anaheim clubhouse is right next to
Salmon, who made his major league debut with the California Angels
in 1992.
''This is something he's never been in, either,'' Salmon said.
''I tell these young guys, 'Just appreciate it. Make the most of
As Salmon circled the bases and fireworks exploded overhead
after he connected on a 93 mph fastball, Felix Rodriguez angrily
tugged on his cap.
Bonds homered for the second consecutive day, hitting a solo shot
with two outs in the ninth off Angels closer Troy Percival. Salmon
hung on the dugout railing and admired the shot that landed halfway
up the bleachers in right field.
But the crowd of 44,584 roared as Percival finished it without
further damage for a save.
''It was too much Salmon,'' Bonds said. ''It's phenomenal. He
did everything any player could do in one game except steal home.''
Bonds did his share, reaching base four times, highlighted by
the homer.
''I scripted it in the bullpen,'' Percival said. ''You get the
first two guys out, it doesn't matter how far he hits it. I think I
supplied all the power. It was impressive. I was going to go right
after him.''
It was the highest-scoring game in the Series since Cleveland
beat Florida 14-11 in 1997.
''You could tell it was going to be an offensive night,'' Giants
manager Dusty Baker said. ''The ball was carrying.
''It was one of the best games I've ever been in,'' he said.
Pacific Bell Park will play host to the World Series for the first time
in Game 3 Tuesday night. Livan Hernandez, 6-0 lifetime in the
postseason, starts for the Giants against Ramon Ortiz.
Bonds, making his first Series appearance in his 17th major
league season, went 1-for-2 with three walks. Like everyone else in
the San Francisco lineup, he couldn't solve Rodriguez as he
grounded out. The rookie pitcher struck out four, all on three
''I never got nervous,'' he said.
''He stepped up,'' Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. ''We don't
get that game settled down, there's not a whole lot to come back
A day after both bullpens pitched 3 1/3 hitless innings, most of
the relievers had a lot more trouble getting outs.
The Giants scored four times in the fifth off John Lackey and
Ben Weber for a 9-7 lead. Game 1 star J.T. Snow hit a tying,
two-run single, then hustled to avoid being forced to give David
Bell a go-ahead infield hit with two outs. Shawon Dunston, playing
in his first Series game at age 39, added a sharp run-scoring single.
At that point, the Giants and Anaheim already had outscored one
NFL game played earlier in the day. Arizona beat the Dallas Cowboys
9-6 -- in overtime, no less.
Scott Spiezio's sacrifice fly off Chad Zerbe pulled the Angels
to a run down in the fifth.
The Rally Monkey made its first appearance on the scoreboard in
the sixth. And for the second consecutive night, the Angels promptly
scored, with Garret Anderson's single off Aaron Fultz making it
The Angels started out doing everything right -- of their first
15 swings against Russ Ortiz, they did not miss once. In an inning
symbolic of their whole season, they hit to the opposite field,
aggressively streaked around the bases and even pulled a double
steal that let Brad Fullmer sneak home.
David Eckstein's leadoff single started the hit parade. Darin
Erstad followed with a run-scoring double and Salmon and Anderson added
singles. After Troy Glaus hit a fly ball for the first out, Fullmer
and Spiezio had run-scoring singles.
Anaheim clearly had the Giants on the run, and took advantage.
When catcher Benito Santiago made a high throw trying to get
Spiezio at second, Fullmer breezed to the plate with the Series'
first steal of home since Tim McCarver did it for St. Louis in
In all, it was the biggest first inning in a Series game since
Baltimore scored five against Pittsburgh in the 1979 opener.
Given a big lead, Kevin Appier began to give it right back. And
even though home runs eventually cost him, it was a little walk
that led to his undoing.
Working too carefully, Appier walked Bonds on a close 3-2 pitch
to begin the second. Snow singled with one out and Reggie Sanders
hit a three-run drive.
Bell followed with a shot to straightaway center, closing the
Giants' gap to 5-4. It marked the 13th set of back-to-back homers
in Series play, with Tony Gwynn and Greg Vaughn doing it most
recently for San Diego in 1998.
By then, as the bullpen got busy, it was apparent the Angels
could not count on the pitcher they fondly call ''Ape.'' Instead,
they would have to warm up the Rally Monkey, too.
Salmon's two-run homer gave the Angels a 7-4 lead in the second, an
inning that started with Eckstein's bunt single. Glaus long double
chased Ortiz before he got another chance to face Fullmer, his
one-time high school teammate.
Jeff Kent homered to lead off the Giants third, and Appier was
pulled after a four-pitch walk to Bonds.
Game notes
Sanders and Bonds became the first players to homer in
Games 1 and 2 of the Series since Ted Simmons for Milwaukee in
1982. ... Rodriguez got the victory at 20 years, 286 days old. The
previous youngest was Joe Bush, who was 20 years, 315 days when he
did won for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1913. ... Angels pitchers
did not give up a home run in the five-game ALCS against Minnesota.
... Anaheim's 21 home runs set a postseason record. ... Among the
big names in attendance: Hall of Famers George Brett (who caught a
foul ball), Willie Mays and Ernie Banks; Kobe Bryant (holding a
pair of ThunderStix) and five Lakers teammates; and actors Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Ray Romano and Dennis Quaid.

Edmond Bulldog Alumni Club inducts first five members into hall of fame
EDMOND — The new Edmond Bulldog Alumni Club will induct on Tuesday the first five members of its hall of fame.
Honorees are University of Kansas University basketball head coach Bill Self, class of 1981; Edmond teacher and coach Byron Graham, class of 1965; Edmond Mayor Charles Lamb, class of 1965; historian and volunteer Beverly Terry, class of 1956; and the late Eloise Rodkey Rees, class of 1935.
The honorees, all Edmond High School or Edmond Memorial High School graduates, were selected by a panel for traits such as athletics, academics and activities.
The ceremony will be at Oak Tree Country Club.
Bill Self
Self has led University of Kansas basketball teams to nine straight Big 12 Conference regular season championships and the 2008 NCAA national championship. He was named The Sporting News National Coach of the Year in 2009.
Self played college basketball at Oklahoma State University, where he was a four-year letter winner between 1982 and 1985 and was an All-Big Eight selection in 1982.
He and his wife, Cindy, established in June 2006 the Assists Foundation, a nonprofit organization to serve as a fundraising conduit for organizations that serve a variety of youth initiatives.
Byron Graham
Graham went to all 12 years of school in Edmond and was a three-year starter on the baseball and wrestling teams. He was in the Letterman's Club.
He attended OSU and returned to Edmond where he was a baseball and wrestling coach and teacher. He retired after teaching and coaching for 40 years.
Graham's teams won baseball state championships in 1991-92 and 1992-93. He had over 530 wins. He was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2003.
Charles Lamb

He was inducted into the Edmond Hall of Fame in 2010. Lamb was the first to receive the Municipal Electric Systems of Oklahoma Ray Duffy Personal Service Award in 1999.
Beverly Terry
Terry has actively promoted Edmond High School and the city of Edmond for more than 60 years. She retired after a 40-year career with Southwestern Bell and AT&T.
She served 13 years on the Edmond Historical Preservation Trust. She was instrumental in the trust acquiring the old Sanders Camera Shop on Second Street and returning the building to its original purpose, a one-room school, the first one built in 1889 in Oklahoma Territory. She helped with the fundraising and finding proof the building was indeed the first school house, along with the late Edmond historian Lucille Warrick.
Terry has served as building manager of the schoolhouse, making sure all the utility workers and repair people were on site when needed.
Eloise Rodkey Rees
The late Eloise Rodkey Rees was the granddaughter of the late Isaac Rodkey, an Edmond pioneer who owned the Rodkey Flour Mill. The company employed more than 30 workers. The Rodkey Four Elevator still stands west of the railroad tracks on Edmond Road.
As her children left home, she started a career as a writer. A number of her novels were published, and in her later years she actively pursued production opportunities for her screenplays and lyrical songs.
She was interested in the family business and managed her own investments. She was a generous contributor to her community and supported the Edmond Public Schools Foundation, the University of Central Oklahoma and restoration of the historic Rodkey Mill and Rodkey home.

The Global Ex-vessel Fish Price Database (Ex-vessel DB) reported in Sumaila et al. (J Bioecon 9(1):39–51, 2007) was the first comprehensive database that presents average annual ex-vessel prices for all commercially exploited marine fish stocks by nationality of the fishing fleet. It contained over 30,000 reported price items, covering the period from 1950 to the present, and supplemented missing prices with estimates based on prices from a different year, species group or fleet nationality. This paper describes a revised missing price estimation approach, focused on the computation of annual average international prices for each species group, adjusted to domestic prices using the real exchange rate based on national purchasing power parity. Key advantages of the new approach are that it allows a larger number of reported prices to be used in the price estimation, and accounts for relative price level differences that exist between countries. Our new approach should improve the estimates in regions where reported prices are scarce or non-existent by linking domestic prices to the trends in international prices. Our analysis, based on the revised ex-vessel price estimates (in real 2005 USD), shows that the global marine fisheries landings have generated total value of USD 4.2 trillion since 1950, including USD 100 billion in 2005.

He defines incompetence and questionable business practices.
MSI's technology is still VERY relevant; otherwise the company wouldn't still be selling billions in product each year. Yes, they have balanced the books by cutting costs, and slightly increasing revenues. However, a company like Honeywell has certain synergies with MSI. So they could purchase for current revenues, lay off roughly half of current employees, and have a regular revenue stream with slight growth. Or a private equity could do the same thing by taking the company private. Bottom line is that MSI is profitable as a stand alone or as an acquisition.
Btw, I bought another 1000 shares at $67.01 today.
Did you sell? Then you know what I think of you.
As to a buyer, think Honeywell.
Being manipulated by Wall Street crooks who want to buy the shares cheap. Don't take the bait. This stock will trading at over $100/share by year's end. Definitely a possibility MSI is a takeover target.
...and see why MYEC will be bankrupt by the end of this year.
More likely $45
...shareholders should be ecstatic! There will be significant savings pertaining to labor costs. The stock should be up at least $1/share based on this announcement; not down by that amount after hours. Hopefully, tomorrow, clearer brains will prevail!
If they had real revenue and income, don't you think they would report it? I've asked the SEC and US Attorney to investigate Ed for potential fraud. I hope they follow through. Market Cap has fallen by tens of millions, and I'm interested in knowing how much Ed has enriched himself.
I've already reported Ed's behavior to the SEC, and made some suggestions to the US Attorney for an investigation I think Ed has been spinning a tall tale, which is illegal. I'd really like to see him serve some jail time He better sell a couple billion shares of his stock so he can afford a good lawyer He'll need one.
I visited this company's so called HQ about a year ago. I talked to a few of the staff. ALL of those staff I spoke with have left. What does this tell you? It's all fake! Pay employees with worthless shares! Borrow money from lenders with loans secured by worthless shares! All the while, Ed pays himself a huge salary; sells shares to line his pocket; and misstates everything about the health and future of the company. What does this smack of?
Ed is a guy that at one time had one of the largest and most expensive homes in El Dorado Hills, only to lose it and the vast majority of his wealth. He tells a good story, until he gets caught embellishing, only to lose everything he "thinks" he has. The definition of this type of person is "LOSER!" Unfortunately, he has ripped off all his investors making them losers too. Maybe we'll see an episode featuring Ed on "American Greed." Hopefully he'll get a long prison term.
...that Zynga will be merged into Electronic Arts at a $4/share price? People want to know?
The patent will stay; the CEO will go. We have no companies interested in MYEC at this point. However, we've identified three who might be willing to buy the company to eliminate its annoyance in the marketplace.
If this doesn't scream bankruptcy, I don't know what does...
The socialist should learn to keep his mouth shut. He's destroying Canadian companies.
...it has given up on United Technologies.
So any of you naysayers removed your thumbs from your azzes yet? Love to see you idiots eat crow!
It is far more likely that the company will be bought out of bankruptcy at perhaps 10 cents per share. The only play on this company is to be short. IT WILL NEVER SEE A RECOVERY!

The California Plug-in Electric Vehicle Collaborative has just announced that over 100,000 electric vehicles have been sold in the Golden State since the introduction of the first major electric vehicle (EV) models (Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt) in late 2010. In the last 12 months alone the state added about 50,000 EVs, and the sales of EVs continues to increase. The most current stats show that EVs now make up about 3% of new car sales in the state and when combined with gasoline-only hybrids, almost 1 in 10 new cars sold in California have some type of electric drive.

The good folks over at Consumer Reports recently released a months-long survey that examined how much car salespeople knew about electric vehicles (EVs).

Stage 17: VARAZZE - LIMONE PIEMONTE (Colle di Tenda), 194 km
Stage 17: VARAZZE - LIMONE PIEMONTE (Colle di Tenda), 194 km
What an exciting finish. It's a shame that Basso was sick because he looked to be in great form today. Simoni's looking great too. My man Cioni suffered towards the end though.
i may have overreacted
How about that Rujano, too bad he wasn't on Basso. I feel so much cooler wearing this now.

Apologies for the horrible spelling.
Will Salvodelli hold off Lampre? I think he's got to do a serious TT to do it given the profile of Stage 19. Simoni looks pretty strong. I think its great that this is going to come down to Stage 19! Way better than the TDF last year. Too bad OLN can't be bothered to show anything but the weekend recaps
I'm pretty pumped to watch Basso take it to Lance at the TDF. No matter who wins I think this year will be more entertaining than prior years. I agree its a shame about the virus. The guy's got some toughness for sure. I think probably 9 of 10 riders would have abandoned. If he stays healthy for TDF I think it's going to be an exciting race this year.
Basso is a hero. It's very inspiring to see him determined to make a result after his diffuculties.
Rujano is making it fun, too. My husband came by while I was watching last weekend and, seeing Rujano riding next to someone bigger, said "Isn't that nice--they let someone bring his son to the race!"
I could not agree more. Basso has looked great when not sick and I couldn't help but think that he would have been in the driver's seat had it not been for the virus. I am very proud of him for not abadoning. IMHO he is a cycling hero.

Cervelo SuperProdigy
Colnago C50 (Frame only)
Salvidelli should out TT Simoni and consolidate his lead. What a pity Basso got sick he's a true hero.
Campy Neutrons for sale!
HAC4 for sale!
Yeah,Savoldelli can out TT Simoni and Rujano, but can he keep his lead on Saturday, the most brutal day in any GT in the last few years? We'll see. It will make for an exciting race.
I'm surprised Simoni and Rujano could take so much time on Savoldelli on what is essentially a seven km climb that isn't very steep and without too much climbing earlier on the stage. Compared to Colle delle Finestre Colle di Tenda isn't much more than a speed bump . Tomorrow, I don't think either Simoni and Rujano will lose more than two minutes on Savoldelli, and I think he'll lose more than that on Saturday.
Maybe if the Finestre stage is a success the French can host a stage up their side of Colle di Tenda:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference. (R. Frost)
One climb at the end of a race suits Simoni's explosive style. A sustained day with lots of climbing and descending seems to suit Salvodelli more. I think he will hold on to it. That being said, if anyone in the peloton can pull off a huge victory in the mountains, it would be Simoni. Regardless, it will be exciting. This is one of the best Giro's I've ever seen.
Pity about poor Basso. If he's come back that strong, imagine what he could have done if he would have stayed healthy. I hope he saves enough to be competitive in the Tour this year.

Universal Pictures, Radar Pictures and One Race Films only just announced the start of principal photography on writer-director David Twohy's follow-up to Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick, but franchise star Vin Diesel has already revealed a second still image from Riddick via his his personal Facebook page — Diesel actually shared the first still image the day before the big announcement. How's that for being a "fan friendly" actor?
The third movie in the Riddick franchise goes back to the formula that made Pitch Black such a hit with the fans: R-rated action with Riddick (Diesel) stranded on a planet swarming with alien horrors. Karl Urban (Star Trek), Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica), Jordi Mollà (Colombiana, Knight and Day), Matt Nable (Killer Elite) and Bokeem Woodbine (upcoming Total Recall remake) also star.
Here is the official synopsis of Riddick:
The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.
Riddick is currently in production in Canada. It does not yet have a release date.

Meanwhile, his best friend, surgeon and scientist Stephen Maturin, is enjoying unprecedented success. In possession of papers that would make Napoleon blanch, Stephen supplements his espionage activities by delivering lectures at the French Institute on such rarities as the extinct avifauna of Rodriguez, and by spending time in the company of the fiery Diana Villiers.

He doesn't overdo his characterizations of the different characters and the droll British wit comes through as clear as a bell. Highly, highly recommended!
"A truly incredible series"
The dry humor.
Stephen Maturin - incredible depth.
I have not
No, but I liked it a lot.
This series is amazing.
"This is the third time through the series."
Yes. Great stories.
He gets into it.
If you like to consider what it was like then vs what it is like now, listen to the book.
Currently a local truck driver who has hours to listen to my audio books. I am hooked, some of my fellow drivers enjoy them also
"Things get real interesting for Steven and Jack"
What can I say all have been most enjoyable so far, I do plan on reading more of them This one was an interesting story
I like the end when things finially come together,
Wished I could but time doesn't permit,
Look forward to reading more, love them so far
"Great Book; Great Series"
If you have njoyed other books in the series, this one will not disappoint. Good twists, turns and adventure. Patrick Tull deserves credit for giving incredible life to these books. He is one of the best readers I have encountered.
"Dr Matchurin gets to star"
This story is not filled with as much sea adventure as the others but it does have a very exciting encounter with a reef. What I most enjoyed about this book was Dr Matchurin's adventures in Paris's science circles and his undercover spy work. In the end, it is his important connections that saves Jack Aubrey from their imprisonment in Paris.

Federer overcomes niggling back injury to thwart Malisse
TENNIS: THE INTERMITTENT rain ensured a frustrating afternoon for all but Centre Court tickets holders at Wimbledon but even those with access to the premier show court at the All England club found an afternoon's entertainment threatened in unlikely circumstances.
A back injury sustained by Roger Federer in his match against Xavier Malisse forced him to seek medical assistance off-court following the seventh game of the first set. The crowd fidgeted nervously as the minutes ticked by and there was a palpable feeling of relief in the warm round of applause that greeted his return after an eight-minute injury sabbatical.
The six-time Wimbledon champion, who had tweaked his back earlier in the set, played three or four games with the problem before seeking medical opinion. He explained: "I felt the back going at the beginning of the first set. I asked for the trainer and the doctor to come out to just talk about it. I decided to have treatment inside.
"I guess it must be a mix of maybe the five-setter (in the last round), the two days off and the cold wind today. Fortunately I pulled out (a victory in) the match the way I did."
Federer eked out a win in four sets, 7-6, 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 but it was a little more fraught than the raw numbers indicate. He dropped his serve and had to break back immediately before taking the first set to a tie-break, which he motored through and continued in that vein to take a two-set lead.
Malisse produced greater fluency to his play, breaking in the opening game of the third and not relinquishing that impetus. When he forged a 2-0 lead in the fourth, the Belgian appeared well placed to extend the contest into a deciding set.
Federer, as he often manages in similar circumstances, elevates the quality of his tennis to a point that leaves opponents flummoxed and floundering as they try and scramble for an escape route: Malisse could only cobble together four points in the next five games. Thoughts of parity had been ruthlessly supplanted by a hefty shunt towards defeat, which duly materialised two games later.
The 16-time Grand Slam champion, Federer, who is looking to match Pete Sampras' record of seven Wimbledon titles, suggested that the medical prognosis on his back was positive. "I mean, (it's) way better than a few hours ago, so that's pretty good. But honestly I'm not too worried. I've had bad backs over the years. They go as quick as they come. But of course I have to keep an eye on it now. Two good night's sleeps and I'll be 100 per cent."
He expressed sympathy for his opponent given the distractions that Malisse had to endure. "Look, today I thought was extremely difficult for Xavier. I did apologise to him after the match for the first set; not that I had anything to do with it. I know how hard it is playing somebody that is injured.
"Today conditions were tough; a lot of wind, cold, (and the) rain delay. I had the back thing going; so obviously it was hard to get any sort of rhythm, which I think indoors would have been quite different."
Federer's next assignment – only three of the men's fourth-round matches were completed including a win for number one seed and defending champion Novak Djokovic – is against a familiar face from both the immediate past and his days as a junior, Mikhail Youzhny.
"I played him last week in Halle (Germany). I played him here last year on grass, and again at Halle years back. We've played a lot, to be honest, on grass. We know what to expect, both of us. I think he's a great player.
"He can take the ball early; he can mix it up well and he's a great fighter. I had an extremely tough match with him last year on Court One. I expect something similar," added Federer.
Given the circumstances of the niggling back problem Federer will appreciate the little extra rest, something that won't be afforded many of his rivals. In order to accommodate yesterday's fractured schedule, play on the show courts today will start an hour earlier (12.0) as the All England club plays catch-up.

He was aiming left on triple bogey
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The hugs with his family took place on the clubhouse lawn, not the 18th green. That was occupied, and by this time there was nothing Phil Mickelson could do about it.
It all fell apart, in large part because once again Phil couldn't help being Phil.
He aimed where other players wouldn't dare go on the par-3 fourth hole, certain that his calculations were better than theirs. His target wasn't even the green, but Mickelson was sure he could escape with par from the bunker or anywhere left of there — even the grandstand.
He thought too much, and disaster ensued. Nothing new there, he's been doing it his whole career.

- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete

"Tactically I hit that shot where I had to hit it, which is at the bunker," Mickelson insisted. "Anything left of the pin is fine but the right side is almost a sure bogey."
Well, almost anything. Mickelson's shot missed the bunker, careened off a metal railing on the grandstand and ended up in some bushes in a wooded area short and left of the green.
Lefty turned righty, and it wasn't pretty. He turned a wedge around and tried to hack the ball out, but it moved only about a yard. He did it again, pulling it behind the left bunker, then compounded his mistake by chunking his next one in the bunker.
When it was all over he had made 6, his second triple bogey of the week.
• Tiger Woods arrived at Augusta National as a favorite. Instead, he left with his worst score as a pro. A 74 Sunday put Woods at 5-over 293, which was his worst four-round score at Augusta since he posted the same number as a first-time amateur back in 1995. Woods never broke par.
• Sergio Garcia told Spanish reporters after a dismal third round that he doesn't think he's capable of winning a major, and he didn't back off the comments. "If I felt like I could win, I would do it. Unfortunately at the moment, unless I get really lucky in one of the weeks, I can't really play much better than I played this week. And I'm going to finish 13th or 15th. What does that show you?" Garcia's 71 left him at 2-under 286, tied for 12th.
• Seattle native Fred Couples, who had a share of the lead after the second round, finished in a tie for 12th after a 72 for a 2-under 286 total.
• Bo Van Pelt and Adam Scott each made a hole-in-one on the 16th hole Sunday. Van Pelt posted a 30 for the final nine, and finished with an 8-under 64. Scott had a 66.
• Patrick Cantlay was the low amateur at 7-over 295. Hideki Matsuyama finished two strokes behind after an 8-over 80.
• Virginia Rometty, IBM's chief executive and the latest center of controversy over Augusta National not having any female members, was seen on the club's grounds Sunday and is believed to have entertained clients at the club all weekend.

Just a Bad Day
Today was just a very bad day. We are on the last leg of our trip back home when bad luck struck.
First off, about 600 hundred miles into the trip, we developed an exhaust leak up around the engine. The leak turned out to be a broken header on the passenger's side. The leak got progressively worse during the trip.
We spent Friday night in Flatbush, WV and early Saturday morning hit the road for home. We made a stop for fuel just West of Cumberland, Maryland and when we tried to start the motorhome, nothing happened when the key was turned. The battery was fine, so that left the starter as the problem.
We called our emergency road service and a tow truck was sent. The driver said there was a Ford garage about 5 miles away and would that be ok to tow it to. We agreed. We followed the tow truck and when we arrived at the lot and got out to unhook the motorhome, that's when we all saw the damage.
Somehow a safety chain got caught in the front end and tore it. The tow truck driver was very upset that this happened and could not understand how this happened. We didn't know either as we were following the tow truck and did not see anything odd take place. We told him don't get too upset as it was just one more thing in an already bad day for us.
The service manager was still at the garage, so we were able to speak to him and make arrangements for the starter to be repaired. We packed a few items in the car, locked the motorhome and dropped off the keys in the garage. We drove the car home without any additional problems.

St. Louis, Mo
We stayed in East St. Louis, Ill., Just across the Mississippi River at the Casino Queen Campground.
The Gateway Arch was very visible from the campground. It was very easy to cross the river into St. Louis. All we had to do was call security from the campground phone and a shuttle van picked us up and took us to the light rail station.
Since there was a ballgame today, we were able to purchase tickets that were good up to two hours after the end of the game, good deal!
We could see our motorhome from the top of the arch through the haze.
Yes, the trams are that small!
Because the South side tram cars were out of service, we had to wait almost 2 hours before we could go to the top of the arch.
We stayed in St. Louis and had dinner before heading back across the river to the motorhome.

Kearney, Nebraska
We stopped in Kearney, Nebraska at the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument.
It is dedicated to showing the road west and has an interesting presentation using headphones as you move from area to area. They also allow you to boondock on the parking lot. We spend the night and were joined by several other units and a truck. It was hot and muggy and we should have run our generator and air conditioners like one of the other motorhomes did.

Hiking Day
Today was a hiking day. We planned to hike two trails, the Beaver Creek trail to Taggart Lake and the trail to Hidden Falls and Insperation Point on the West side of Jenny Lake.
We had hiked about a mile and a half when Leah spotted a Mule Deer watching us. Just a bit further down the trail was a herd of Mule Deer bedded down for the day. The herd watched us as we stopped to look at them and take a few pictures. The herd didn't seem to concerned about our presents as we did not appear to be a threat to them.
The Beaver Creek Trail is the long way to Taggart lake and because of that we only passed two other hikers on the trail. Every one else was taking a shorter trail to Taggart Lake.
The Tetons reflecting in the lake made for a great photo.
After completing the Taggart Lake hike of 4 miles, we drove to Jenny Lake. At Jenny Lake we took a boat to the Western shore to get to the trail heads. The trail was loaded with people as this is the only trail to Hidden Falls and Insperation Point. This was very hard terrain to hike and many persons were not wearing the proper footware and carry any water. We had both and found the trail rough going.

Teton Mts.
We left Dubois, Wy heading for Jackson, Wy. We stopped at Elk Ranch Flats and took our first real look at the Tetons.
After we got our motorhome setup at the Campground, we went down to Jackson Square to take a picture of the Elk Antler Arches. At 6:oo pm two streets were blocked off and a big song and dance infomercial took place. They were pushing to see a show at a local theater. We did not return any more during our stay as it was no big deal. The town of Jackson is located in the area known as Jackson Hole as it surrounded on all sides by mountains. It has become a year around tourist area. In the Winter time there is the skiing and the rest of the year there is hiking, biking and river rafting.
The prices in the stores reflect a tourist area, but we felt the restaurant prices were very good as was the food we ate.

Dubois Wyoming
Today I am trying something new with the blog. I am using the slide show from Picasa to show the pictures I took in and around Dubois. To see the slide titles, you need to click on the picture and then on the little box in the lower left corner.
We have spent the last two days at the Longhorn RV & Motel 3 miles East of Dubois, Wy. New owners have taken over this old park and have put a lot of money and work into it. Along with all of the upgrades are price increases, about 40 dollars a night. Good Luck to them, but the rates are a bit steep.
As we were walking in the campground this morning, Doris Roberson came out of their motorhome to greet us. We were at a Newmar FMCA pre-rally in North Carolina last which they also attended. We also saw them at the Newmar rally in Gillette. They have been here for a week and will be here for another two weeks.
They told us about the Sawmill Lodge and Restaurant and what a nice drive it was. After spenting sometime looking in the stores in Dubois, we made the drive to the lodge and found it to be as the Robersons advised.

Thermopolis, Wy
Nestled among the foothills of the Owl Creek Mountains and resting beside the Big Horn River lies Thermopolis, Wyoming. It is one of those small picturesque Western towns where the altitude is higher than the population (altitude 4500, population 3200), and is renowned for its World's Largest Mineral Hot Spring and beautiful surroundings. The Big Horn Springs are located throughout Hot Springs County.
In Thermopolis (Greek for "Hot City") the scalding water comes from the Big Spring, which is located in Hot Springs State Park. From this turquoise and green spring, the water flows into cooling ponds at a temperature of 127 degrees. A boardwalk leads you over terraces from the over flow of water. These terraces are made chiefly of lime and gypsum which separate from the cooling waters. The colors you see are due mainly to primitive plants (algae), which grow in the warm water. The cooler water then runs over rainbow-hued mineral terraces into swimming pools and Jacuzzis, and into the Big Horn River
When early explorers went through the Big Horn Basin they saw that all the water drained into what they would call the Big Horn River. Explorers from the South came through the Wind River Mountains and named the river found there the Wind River. One did not know the other had named the same river. The river changes names at the Wedding of the Waters just a few miles south of Thermopolis. Here the river leaves the Wind River behind and becomes the Big Horn River. The river flows lazily through Thermopolis with many public floating, fishing and bird hunting accesses.
The Wind River flows through the beautiful Wind River Canyon on U.S. Highway 20 just south of Thermopolis. The canyon walls reach 2500 feet into the sky at many points throughout this beautiful drive. As you travel you will see sphinx-like shapes of rocks a thousand feet above the bed of the river. There are castle formations and waterfalls that tumble out of the rock formed canyon sides. Look in the crevices for formations of perpetual ice and snow, which endure the summers heat.
We decided to spend the 4Th of July in this area before moving onto Jackson, Wy. It seems like a very nice little town with the Hot Springs and the river the big draw.
Leah and I went to the hot springs one morning for a soak at the State Bath house. The mineral water was warm and felt very good and relaxing. Because of the water temps, it is recommended that you only soak for 20 minutes at a time.
We are staying at the Eagle RV Park on the western edge of town. It boasts having a hundred shade trees and although I didn't count them, I believe there is. Everyday they are watering the trees and the grass.
This is a very active RV park. A lot of RVs leave in the morning an by mid-afternoon the park fills up again.
Inner tubes can be rented and the park will take you up stream so you can float back down the river. This trip takes about 2 1/2 hours.

Buffalo, Wy to Thermopolis, Wy
To get from Buffalo to Thermopolis, we had to go over the Powder River Pass. As you can see from the sign, it is 9,666 feet high. We had to climb in 1st gear part of the way but we made it without a problem either going up or down.
Shortly after we stopped at the parking lot, a van pulled in with 7 boys in it who crossed the road and climbed to the top of the pass. Leah, Travis and I climbed the bunny hill :-)...

I would like to write a program that asks the users to select more than one, but not all objects in a schematic. What is the best way to do this?
Lots of ways you could do this. First is just to look at the selected set with geGetSelSet(), but if you want to prompt the user, you could use something simple like:
procedure(MYaddSel(win pts) geSelectPoint(win car(last(pts))))enterPoints(?prompts list("Click on stuff") ?addPointProc "MYaddSel")
Your requirements were not very precise, so not quite sure exactly what you wanted.

What kind of vehicle?
What kind of vehicle?
VW Jettas.
jetta +1
I only pedal uphill.
obvious troll
I vote Volvos and F350 diesel pickups
The 350 pickup is not a bad choice at all. I am inclined to say the Silverado or Avalanche tops it, though.
whut's the MPG?
why are the drivers azzholes?
I retract my above post.
The most obnoxious drivers drive stolen cars.
In Europe it's BMW, hands down.
Lincoln Navagators or Chevy Tahoes while the driver is Holding a Nokia Cell Phone in one hand and Starbucks Coffee in the other
1- Taxis
2- Police cruisers
3- Delivery trucks ("cubes")
4- Other cars

black escalades.
"get out of my way punk, I'm busy making money"
Don't have any around here so I don't know.
Dragging Anchor
Why hasn't anyone said the Hummer H2? The H1 is truly badass but the H2 is for arrogant asshats who like to waste their money on a useless POS.
As for obnoxious drivers, Escalades, Infiniti SUVs, and tops the list for me, they are mostly driven by Asians. People driving F150-F350 series and Dodge 1500-3500 are actually quite accommodating on the road here.
oh, there's more to it than just the title?
Why I hate Jetta drivers.
1: Anything VW. It must be a special thing taught by the VW salespeople to new drivers to find a gap 1-2 atoms wide in traffic, slam their car in it, then immediately panic stop.
2: People driving old American cars before 1989, especially Chrysler K cars. Fear them.
3: Lincoln Town Cars/Ford Crown Victorias/Mercury Grand Marquis
4: Priuses -- 75% chance the person is a decent driver, 25% chance the guy is in MPG uber alles mode, holding up traffic because he or she wants bigger numbers on that gauge.
Harley Davidsons.
"harder" is not a very good safeword.

Ronaldo (the Brazilian phenomenon, NOT the cocky Portuguese one), just got a nice little gift from Nike. The AC Milan forward has been given a new commemorative boot, to celebrate his 10 years of being one of the best forwards ever seen on a pitch. Seriously, in the height of his career, there was no one out there better than Ronaldo. Give him the ball and see the nets shake, that was. Good times… But although his game is not as strong as it used to, I believe Ronaldo deserves a lot of recognition for his amazing contribution to Brazilian and World football.
I still remember 1994 World Cup, when he was just a promise sitting on Seleção's bench. 1998 brought his rise and fall when Brazil lost to France (you damn Zidane, Henry and friends who keep beating Brazil every time they play France). But nothing was better than seeing him shine again in 2002 and score 2 goals on Germany (with a bad haircut), to give us, Brazilians, the 5th World Title (I will not mention World Cup 2006 in Germany!). Brazilians need football in order to forget the shitty economy and politicians in our country, and Ronaldo gave us just that so many times!
Not only that, but Ronaldo became a strong name for footballers. No wonder after him and Ronaldinho, a certain Cristiano decided to be called by his middle name, Ronaldo.
Now back to the original Ronaldo, I have to say I have never seen someone have such terrible injuries and come back in such style. And now, after 10 years and many, many goals, Ronaldo (the first one) is still a constant name in the football arena.
He has been indeed a phenomenon. The top Wold Cup scorer has been one of the finest footballers ever. I say this to a lot of people: Watch Ronaldo overcome another injury and come back as a machine. If he is motivated, there is nothing on earth (even his new afro) that will get on the way.

Ludwigshafen, Germany – July 3, 2012 – BASF SE and the Norwegian company Seagarden ASA signed a contract to transfer the Chitosan marine biopolymers business. Chitosan marine biopolymers are used in personal care products and as pharmaceutical ingredients. The transaction is expected to be formally completed by August 2012.
BASF has introduced a new thin plastic film packaging for the Luviskol® range of high-molecular-weight powders in order to set new quality standards in keeping the powders more stable and protecting them even better against contact with oxygen and oxide penetration.
BASF has launched a new website for its personal care business: a brand website for the new Care Creations™ brand and the "Inspired by life" communications concept. Also new is a Personal Care Press Center, giving journalists easy access to the BASF Personal Care-related information they may need.
BASF personal and health care businesses are ideally positioned to serve present and future market demands. Backed up by strong technological and research capabilities, the world's leading supplier of high-quality ingredients and actives for the personal care and pharmaceutical industry is set to launch its innovative solutions at the 17th International Technology Exhibition for the Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Industry
At this year's In-Cosmetics trade show, BASF showcased its latest innovations for the personal- and beauty-care market, including synthetic mica-based pigments, high-performance hair care ingredients and cosmetic actives. The BASF Personal Care business also presented its new brand, Care Creations™ and communication concept, "Inspired by Life", while inviting customers to experience how the personal care market can be shaped by innovations inspired by life.
Is there a way to delay the slackening of skin and loss of firmness? The answer is by strengthening the cutaneous stability, and lies in a complex structural interface called the Dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ), which is essential to the stability of the skin. With Sqisandryl™, the latest innovation in skin architecture, the cosmetic active ingredient business of BASF under the banner of "Beauty Creations" has identified a new biological target to strengthen the dynamic cohesion between the dermis and the epidermis thus resulting in an increase of the skin's resilience, elasticity and firmness.
BASF will be attending this year's In-Cosmetics trade show in Barcelona, Spain, where it will be inviting visitors to experience its latest innovations, and offering them an exclusive look at what lies ahead in the personal care market. From April 17 to 19, BASF's Care Chemicals division will also present its new communication strategy for this market and will showcase its forward-thinking personal and beauty care concepts and solutions at booth D40. BASF experts will share their know-how both at the booth and in workshops, innovation seminars and podium discussions.
Collagen is important for skin anti-aging and its effectiveness relies on four aspects: collagen functionality and its protection against glycation, oxidation, and collagenase. BASF Beauty Care Solutions' recent CollGuard™ ingredient, an extract from Davilla rugosa leaves, protects the skin's collagen and may therefore be of help in keeping the skin firm as well as maintaining epidermis structure.
Made from vegetable oils and fats and used in a wide range of body care and cleaning products, unsaturated fatty alcohols are one of BASF's specialty products. The Düsseldorf site has been making them for around 50 years, and on December 15, BASF employees and around 50 customers from the chemical industry came together to mark the occasion.

I live on the south side of Chicago but tend to stay closer to Ukrainian Village and just had my bike stolen. Really my fault for having a rope lock on it but its still a shocking thing. Hope to learn some cool stuff on here and hopefully not get too annoying with some of my questions.

The Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH) is recruiting a senior clinician scientist or epidemiologist to serve as Chief of the Clinical Genetics Branch (CGB). The CGB conducts interdisciplinary research to advance the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of cancer and to translate this knowledge into effective evidence-based medical management strategies (including counseling, prophylaxis, screening, surgical risk reduction, and chemoprevention) for cancer-prone individuals and families. Current active protocols target hereditary cancer susceptibility syndromes, inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, risk of cancer in medical conditions not typically thought to include cancer in their classical phenotype, and a portfolio of human papilloma virus-related translational research projects; most have integrated behavioral/counseling/psychosocial research. Study-derived biospecimens are routinely leveraged into collaborative, laboratory-based, etiologically-oriented analyses of genomics and molecular susceptibility.
The Branch Chief will have the opportunity and resources to conduct an independent program of research and to shape the research direction of CGB. CGB currently includes a staff of 4 tenured or tenure-track investigators as well as staff clinicians/staff scientists, senior research nurse, senior genetic counselor, pre- and post-doctoral fellows; additional recruitments are anticipated. CGB resources include collections of cancer-prone families, cohorts of patients at risk of cervical carcinoma by virtue of persistent HPV infection, access to biorepositories for processing and storage of biospecimens, a core genotyping and other laboratory facilities, and contracts for computer programming and for family and epidemiologic field studies, including nurses and genetic counselors. In addition to managing these resources, the Chief oversees the administrative management of the Branch, supervises staff members, mentors tenure-track investigators and post-doctoral fellows, and ensures the scientific quality of CGB research. Other duties include providing consultation to national and international investigators and public health officials, and acting as liaison with agencies and organizations seeking expertise related to cancer genetics, cancer genetic counseling, cancer susceptibility and risk assessment, and cancer prevention.
The successful candidate must hold either a medical degree or a doctoral degree in genetics, epidemiology or related fields. He or she must demonstrate knowledge of clinical cancer genetics and genetic risk assessment as well as a proven ability to: (1) conduct high-quality original research using epidemiologic and interdisciplinary approaches to investigate the role of genetic susceptibility to cancer; and (2) publish such work in peer-reviewed scientific or medical journals and present it at scientific meetings. The candidate must also demonstrate administrative experience, including supervision at a senior level of scientific management.
The Chief, Clinical Genetics Branch will be eligible for a tenured appointment at a salary commensurate with his/her qualifications and experience. Full Federal benefits including leave, health and life insurance, long-term care insurance, retirement, and savings plan (401k equivalent) will be provided. Qualified candidates may be considered for the NIH Senior Biomedical Research Service.
Interested individuals should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae and bibliography, a brief summary of research interests and accomplishments, scientific administrative experience, copies of up to five publications or preprints, and the names and addresses of three references to:
Ms. Catherine McClave
Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute
9609 Medical Center Drive, MSC 9776
Bethesda, MD 20892
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Applications received by April 30, 2013 will be considered for a first round of interviews, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

What's it like: To be treated for a snake bite
Why get treated for a snake bite?
Oklahoma is home to about 46 species of snakes, including seven that are venomous to humans.
Five species of rattlesnakes, one type of water moccasins (Cottonmouths) and one species of copperhead can be found across Oklahoma. As the weather warms up, snakes are likely to be more active. Copperheads are the most common cause of snake bites in Oklahoma.
It's generally recommended that you seek emergency care after a snake bite. Snake bites, especially in children, can be deadly if not treated.
The severity of a snake bite will range, depending on the type of snake, the size of the snake and also the snake's intent. Sometimes when a snake bites, it's a warning, and it won't use much venom. The snake can decide how much venom it will inject.
Not everyone gets treated for a snake bite. For example, some people who are bitten by a copperhead aren't treated because the snake's venom isn't as potent as other snakes. However, it's generally best to go to the emergency room after suffering a snake bite.
What happens when you're treated?
On your way to the hospital, remove any jewelry. Do not apply a cold compress, ice or a tourniquet. Also, don't take any pain medication unless a doctor has instructed you to do so. You can also call the National Poison Control Center at (800) 222-1222.
You might have seen a movie where a character tries to "suck the poison out" of a snake bite. This technique is no longer recommended. It's also not recommended that a person tries to extract the venom with a knife.
When you arrive at the emergency room, a nurse or other medical professional likely will ask you if you know what kind of snake bit you.
You should not bring the snake with you to the hospital. However, if you have a family member or friend nearby who can safely take a photo of the snake, that can sometimes be helpful in treating your bite. If you don't have a photo, it's helpful if you or someone with you can tell the hospital staff the color and size of the snake.
A medical team will assess the severity of your bite. They might run a test to determine whether the venom is affecting your blood's ability to clot. They will also try to determine whether the venom is spreading from your hand to the rest of your body.
The general treatment for a snake bite is an infusion of antivenin. It cannot completely reverse the damage from the bite, but it can prevent venom from spreading and causing clotting issues.
The dose of the antivenin will depend on the size of the snake and how much progression or damage you're seeing from the bite itself.
Antivenin can be a costly treatment. It cost a hospital about $800 per vial, and they might charge you between $1,000 and $2,000 per vial.
Does it hurt?
The snake bite itself likely will hurt substantially more than the treatment.
About 10 years ago, the antivenin used in hospitals frequently caused people to break out in hives and suffer from a drop in blood pressure. However, the antivenin used today is less likely to cause these symptoms.
Hopefully, the antivenin will alleviate some of the pain from the bite.
What are the risk factors?
Some people might suffer an allergic reaction to the antivenin. You might also experience some itchiness and a drop in blood pressure. You might develop hives, but it's rare that this occurs. You might also feel as though you have the flu, which is also a rare symptom.
What's the recovery time?
You might also be in the hospital for a few days, depending on the severity. Your recovery time will vary, depending on what type of snake bit you.
A snake bite can cause temporary or permanent nerve damage. For example, if you're bitten on the hand, you might have several weeks of not being able to use your hand.
In children, a full recovery takes between one to three weeks. For adults, it can range from three weeks to several months.
What's the follow-up?
For copperhead bites, you most likely won't have much of a follow-up. With rattlesnake bites, some people will rebound a week after the bite, and they can suffer from problems with blood clotting.
It's important to follow your doctor's instructions and check in when you're asked to.

Day 4
Galapagos Honeymoon
This dry, dusty, windy island is home to the land iguana and bands of frigatebirds.
Oh, and the dancing blue-footed boobies, too. That was fun to watch. Imagine a sharp shrieking whistle, and then a stiff little bird bowing his head while extending his wingspan much farther than it looks like he should be able to stretch. The couple then starts staring up into the sky as if they are questioning where the startling whistle came from. Meanwhile they are switching their stance from one foot to the other as if the rocks below are too hot for their cute little turqoise webbed feet.
While the frigatebird does look maginificent, I'm not inclined to call this species cute. Mean is more like it. Do you know the frigatebird can't catch it's own fish? It STEALS from the other birds. Pirates.
The third sighting of which I previously metioned was the land ignuana. They are so old and wise, that's why they take their time and smile. It's true! The land iguana has one of the best smiles in all the animal kingdom.
But, nothing compares to the smiles on board the broken Eric when, later that evening, Pablo announce that during our day's excursion, our hard working crew swam to shore with one arm tied behind their back just to find that elusive new part! Our crew had to swim back to the Eric with the part wedged between their teeth. So there! To all of you passengers who yelled and cried, I bet you wished you had stayed as calm as the wise old land iguana now. No matter, we were on our way to Fernandina and Isabella!

You are right. I can not deny that you are a fool, that forgets about the transition Bush had to make after 9-11-01, The nation was on a war footing and resources had to be spent to silently intercept threats to the people and the nation, we are still at war. We have internal and external enemies who want to destroy the way of life that you enjoy.Not that Obama is a bad President...he's not. After all, you have to admit that he had a big job cleaning up George Bush's mess, right? And you certainly can't deny that he saved General Motors and thus thousands and thousands of American jobs.
Saved GM? No he failed in his obligation to allow the normal processes to proceed, and instead seized the moment to be the hero of union thugs who received the stolen property of the bondholders.
Prove what jobs were saved, you can't, it's a liars' boast, and nothing more. Continue, everyone who matters knows the difference between you and me, you are always obvious. There is the original, and there is the copycat, a poor fake.

Committee gets testimony on tar sands pipelineFebruary 19,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — A committee of the Vermont House is hearing about the possible shipment of tar sands oil on a pipeline that crosses northern Vermont.
The CEO of the Portland Pipeline Company, which owns the line, is due to appear Tuesday before the House Committee on Fish, Wildlife and Water Resources.
Larry Wilson said in recent legislative testimony that he would welcome an opportunity to reverse the flow of the Montreal-to-Portland pipeline, but he currently knows of no plans to do so.
Environmental groups have been warning of the likelihood that tar sands would be shipped through Vermont.
The committee is weighing whether Vermont's Act 250 land-use law should apply to the shipment of heavy oil through the state.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The races might be new, but many of the faces are the same.
