Money title missing piece for player of the year
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. The PGA Tour money title is relevant for the first time since 2003 because it has come down to two players - Webb Simpson and Luke Donald - in the final tournament of the year at Disney.
But it's not just about the money.
Simpson had more than just the money title on his mind when he decided to play the McGladrey Classic last week at Sea Island, where missing a 3-foot par putt with his belly putter and losing in a playoff was easy to stomach. The runner-up finish was worth $432,000, and it gave him a $363,029 lead on the money list.
He has two wins this year, as much as anyone else, but no more than five other players. Simpson didn't win a major, although neither did any of the other player of the year candidates except for Keegan Bradley.
"I still need to do a little something more to get player of the year," Simpson said at the start of last week. "So I think if I could somehow squeak it out and win the money list, that would just help."
In a year in which no one has really stood out, it might be just enough.
The PGA Tour player of the year is a vote of the players. The Players Advisory Council nominates the candidates - it could be one of the longer lists - and the ballots will be mailed Oct. 25.
Winning the Arnold Palmer Award for leading the PGA Tour money list might mean even more to Donald. He has a chance to become the first player to win the money titles on the PGA Tour and European Tour in the same season. Donald has a comfortable lead in Europe. His prospects suddenly look bleak in America.
Donald also needs to win the money list to bolster his credential as the player of the year.
He has been ranked No. 1 the last five months, and he is there for a reason. No one has played better golf this year. In 23 tournaments, Donald has won three times, had 17 finishes in the top 10 and finished in the top five in nearly half his tournaments.
Trouble is, he has only one win on the PGA Tour. That was at the Match Play Championship in Arizona, with a performance so resounding that Donald never played the 18th hole at Dove Mountain except in a practice round.
Yes, he added Disney to his schedule at the last minute to try to win the money title. But the bigger picture for Donald is to show his peers how badly he wants to be player of the year. Donald most likely will have to win Disney to capture the money list, and that also would give him two PGA Tour wins - same as Simpson, Bradley, Steve Stricker, Nick Watney, Bubba Watson and Mark Wilson.
The feeling in August was that the FedEx Cup playoffs would go a long way toward determining the PGA Tour player of the year.
Who would have guessed it would be settled in the Fall Series?
Simpson and Donald have emerged as the favorites, so closely linked that if Donald were to win at Disney and Simpson finished second, they would be tied for the points-based player of the year award from the PGA of America.
But it's not that simple.
There still figures to be sentiment for Bradley, the 25-year-old rookie whose two wins include the PGA Championship. Majors tend to be the tiebreaker in these votes, as David Duval can attest. He won four times in 1998 - in the winter, spring, summer and fall - won the money title and the Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average. He lost the award to Mark O'Meara, who won two majors.

Oh, the bleating and gnashing of teeth, calls of ignorance and traitorous partisan behavior, threats to cancel subscriptions, nasty calls and colorful letters wrapped together in a neat package of incessant name-calling and rebukes. This is what I expect after The Columbian's endorsement of Mitt Romney for president.
Every candidate has warts; some happen to have more warts than others. Many unanswered questions on both sides will not be satisfied prior to the showdown in November.
Here is my personal tiebreaker: Both of the presidential candidates have questionable behavior in their pasts, as well as smoke and mirror episodes. For the past four years, I have already lived and experienced what President Barack Obama can accomplish with his ideas of governance. There are dire predictions of what Romney will achieve if I listen to his oppositions predictions of gloom and doom. We need a leader who understands how an economy functions and thrives, benefiting all Americans.
I congratulate The Columbian on a wise decision. It is time to give an economics superstar the opportunity to put this country and our futures back into an economic state of growth with rising profits and full employment.

Guide By: Tyger7
There are 12 achievements with a total of 200 points.
Show / Hide Guide Road Map
[x360a would like to thank Tyger7 for this roadmap]
|Mr. Sparkle
|From stage 1, make it to the stage 3 bosses in Survival Mode with the Japanese ROM.
First, you must beat the game once to unlock the Japanese ROM. Then, you must pick Survival Mode while on that ROM. You can play by yourself or with others. Survival Mode is having 1 life and no continues. The area you must get to is Moe's Tavern on Stage 3. The trench coat men are the bosses the achievement is referring to. You do not have to defeat them, just reach them. Remember that the game has an + move that is a stronger attack. As Lisa, you might have the easiest time of all characters. She is not only quick but has good reach.
|Easier Than Arm Wrestling
|Defeat the Wrestler without any player dying.
This is actually very easy. This is the Stage 1 boss. Place it on Easy on Japan ROM. Go through the level and make sure to collect the food when you can. This game mode lets you have more than 100% life (the Japan ROM). Once you get to the boss, just go up and down on the screen from top to bottom. As you are passing by the enemy press and at the same time. You should be able to beat the enemy very easily this way and might not even get hit once.
|Falling For Smithers
|Playing from stage 1, fall through the deck after Smithers.
This is obtained in Stage 2. After defeating the giant balloon boss, you will fall through with Smithers and it will unlock. You cannot get this achievement if you start from Stage 2 (as in you play online in someone's game and start from 2).
|It Tastes Like Burning
|Hurt Smithers with one of his own bombs.
This is obtained in Stage 8. You fight Smithers at the start. He drops bombs from his coat. The black bombs you cannot pick up and explode very quickly. There will be blue bombs that do not explode. You can pick them up and throw them at him to get the achievement. There are several chances to get this achievement, as he will keep dropping them until defeated.
|Dysfunctional Family
|Play in a 4-player match with three other people.
This can be obtained in a local game with 4 controllers or online with 3 other people. If you have 4 controllers, press on all of them in a game and the achievement will unlock. You do not have to actually beat any levels. If you do not have 4 controllers, you will have to play this online with 3 others. You can be host or join someone.
|Bongo's Angst
|Playing from stage 1, get Bongo to appear in 4 different levels.
You must start the game from Stage 1. Bongo is a character that looks like a rabbit (a guy in a costume). As you play through the game, you will see trees that can be hit. They will give you life and once the tree is done dropping fruit, Bongo will pop out of the tree with a sign to tell you there is no more.
Stage 2 - Krustyland Tree: After defeating the tea cup enemies, you'll see this to the right (in front of the cages).
Stage 5 - Springfield Butte Tree: You'll see a tree early on in the level after seeing the ape enemy that sort of resembles Homer. It has a bees nest on it. Hit the tree and try to avoid the bees. Once they fly away (or hurt you), then hit the tree more.
Stage 7 - Channel 6 Tree: When you get to the area with the ninja enemies, you will see the pink tree. After Bongo appears, you will get the achievement. There is another tree following just in case you missed the first. Only one of them has to be hit.
|Battling Seizure Robots
|Playing from stage 1, defeat the battling robot.
On Stage 7: Channel 6, you will fight a robot while playing the level. It's located at what looks like mars (on some type of planet). If you are playing on the harder difficulty you will have to face two of them. There is a chance that it will not unlock after defeating the robot(s). This is likely due to the game switching game modes while you are playing. Example: You are playing individual quarter mode and halfway through, you have players join. Now the game in a way, switches modes and it does not count as you "starting from stage 1".
|Helper Monkey
|While performing a Team Attack, damage 25 enemies.
To perform a Team Attack, you must have 2 players. Have the two players stand next to each other and they will pair up. One player will control the team, but both players will get the damage/hit on the enemies. It is accumulative and can be obtained fairly quickly within a level.
|Best Score Ever
|Earn 250 points (US) or 25,000 points (Japan) in a game.
This will be obtained while going for everything else. For the (US) version, each defeated enemy is 1 point. If you start from stage 1 then you should get this achievement in Stage 4: Moe's Tavern when the band starts playing if playing on Expert difficulty. If playing on easier difficulties then you will get it eventually. It is said that (Japan) is quicker to get the points, but you have to beat the game on (US) version to even play (Japan).
|Release The Hounds
|Complete the game in 30 minutes or less.
This would be best done on the easiest settings on freeplay mode. There will be far less enemies to defeat. The less you die the more time you save. To see how you are doing on time, press and go to Help & Options. Scroll down to Settings and go to Timer. Press so that is says "Show". Press to confirm and you should now have a timer on the bottom of the screen. The timer stops while the game is paused or during a cut-scene. It does not stop while waiting for certain events to happen, which could cost you the time that you needed. Though you can tackle this alone, it might be easier to play with others.
|Like Taking Candy From a Baby
|Complete the game four times, once with each character.
Beat the game in any mode with all 4 characters. You must play as Homer, Bart, Marge, and Lisa. This has to be done from the first to last stage. It can be done alone or with other players (online or co-op).
|Complete the game on Expert difficulty in individual Quarters mode.
Expert Difficulty is the hardest difficulty. In Quarters mode, you are limited on continues. For this mode you will have 10 continues with 3 lives each continue. This gives you 30 lives. After the Game Over screen, pressing will allow you to continue on but the progress towards the achievement will no longer count. You must do it within the given continues. An easy way to accomplish this achievement is multiplayer. As long as you aren't the one losing all continues, you will get the achievement. Have everyone else do most of the work. If the team is good enough, you can all get the achievement if you are about even with deaths.

Foxconn holds one of the keys to Windows 8's success
Many tech savvy individuals doubt Windows 8 will make a huge impact on current PC market at launch, but Foxconn thinks that their manufacturing proficiency and future innovations may hold one of the keys to Windows 8's success.
Many tech savvy individuals doubt Windows 8 will make a huge impact on current PC market at launch, but Foxconn thinks that their manufacturing proficiency and future innovations may hold one of the keys to Windows 8's success.
It's clear that Windows 8 is Microsoft's attempt at utilizing touchscreens for an enhanced users experience on the PC, but as of right now much of the world's PC users doesn't have a touchscreen PC. Therefore, not only is a transition to a touchscreen based PC a drastic change in user interface, but also people will have to invest in new technology to fully utilize Windows 8.
Foxconn's chairman, Terry Gou, said that Windows 8 utilizes "cutting-edge technology" in areas such as machinery, optics, material, software, and battery. However, current OEMs may not be ready for an influx of demands in up to date technology that can make the most of all of Windows 8's "cutting-edge technology."
Gou went on to say that his company has made progress in the areas of machinery, optical technology, and energy-saving battery technology. Foxconn currently employs people in Japan and Taiwan to work with display suppliers such as Sharp and Chimei Innolux to research and develop low-radiation, high-definition, and eye-control display technologies.
Although Foxconn has a lot of resources within the manufacturing and research sector, Gou is quick to also note that small to medium sized high definition panels will be short supply at Windows 8's launch. Gou forecasts that the company will be able to meet demands of consumers for touch based high definition displays within 3-5 years.
If Foxconn can pump out most of the world's iPhone demands, then there's no doubt that they can meet demands for components needed in Windows 8. However, even if Foxconn manages to wow consumers with super cheap Windows 8 optimized products, critics and average consumers have yet to rave or shut the door on Microsoft's next gen PC platform.
What are the keys to unlocking Windows 8 again? Perhaps it's the cheap labor needed to manufacture those "cutting-edge technology."

Convicted serial killer accused of 2 NYC deaths
NEW YORK A man already convicted and on California's death row for the decades-old murders of four women and a 12-year-old girl now faces charges in the slayings of two Manhattan women in the 1970s.
Rodney Alcala was scheduled for arraignment Thursday for the deaths of Trans World Airlines flight attendant Cornelia Crilley and aspiring researcher Ellen Hover, both 23.
It was unclear who would represent Alcala or even whether he would have a lawyer. A former photographer with an IQ said to top 160, Alcala represented himself at his California trial that ended with his convictions in 2010 for the five murders. He is appealing.
Decades of suspicion, an indictment last year and 18 months of legal maneuvering over extraditing him culminated Wednesday with his arrival in New York City on a U.S. Marshals Service plane. He was placed in police custody.
Alcala was indicted only recently, after the Manhattan district attorney's cold-case unit re-examined the cases, looked at evidence that emerged during the California trial and conducted new interviews with more than 100 witnesses.
California authorities had said they were exploring whether Alcala could be tied to cases in New York and other states, and they had released more than 100 photos, found in his storage locker, of young women and girls.
"These cases were built one brick at a time, as each new lead brought us closer to where we are today," District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said when Alcala was indicted, adding that he hoped the indictment "brings a small measure of peace to the families and friends who have spent decades searching for answers, and justice."
Crilley was found, strangled with a stocking, in her Manhattan apartment in 1971. Hover was living in Manhattan when she vanished in 1977. Her remains were found the next year in the woods on a suburban estate.
Hover had a degree in biology and was seeking a job as a researcher, a private investigator for her family said at the time. A talented pianist, Hover was "enamored of the counterculture of the 1960s," cousin Sheila Weller wrote in a 2010 Marie Claire magazine piece about Hover's death. Weller has said she's gratified by his indictment in her cousin's death; she declined Wednesday to elaborate.
Hover's father, comedy writer Herman Hover, had been an owner of the one-time Hollywood hotspot Ciro's.
Her disappearance and Crilley's death made headlines and spurred extensive searches. TWA offered a $5,000 reward for information about Crilley's killing. Hover's relatives papered walls and kiosks with posters.
A note in Hover's calendar for the day she vanished showed she planned to have lunch with a photographer she had recently met, according to the family's private detective and news reports at the time. Her lunch date's name, authorities later said, was an alias that Alcala used.
Alcala had been eyed in Crilley's death for at least several years. New York Police Department detectives investigating her killing went to California in 2003 with a warrant to interview Alcala and get a dental impression from him.
A forensic dentist later found that a bite mark on Crilley's body was consistent with Alcala's impression, a law enforcement official has said. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Alcala, now 68, has been behind bars since his 1979 arrest in one of the California killings. Before that arrest, he also served a prison sentence on convictions of furnishing marijuana to a minor and kidnapping and trying to kill an 8-year-old girl.
He also had attended college and worked briefly as a typist at The Los Angeles Times, according to a 1979 story in the newspaper.

The only thing holding me back from the x-s1 now (aside from saving the cash) is the knowledge that there are still faulty units out there. Is there a way to tell if the unit is faulty without opening the box? By that I mean can you tell when the camera was manufactured by looking at the box?
Some people say the serial number is on the box but if 23..that is no gaurantee anyway. If you buy from a shop you are not obliged to buy the camera even if you ask to inspect a new camera in the box.

I reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium, a genuine copy which came bundled

update the old installation as easy as the next person, but now, after the
fact, I see an error message coded "800706BA" whenever I try to start the
update service. It appears that something is preventing the Background
Intelligent Transfer Service from starting properly.
I'm more than a little bit worried about this, as I can't even install
updates manually fro the Download Center. The same error occurs when I try.
Please, I hope someone will answer this post with a solution. I appreciate

Halo 3 Legendary Edition: This highly limited edition contains a collectible Spartan Mjolnir Mark VI Helmet Case, the Bonus Interactive Disc (see above) and the Legendary Disc featuring High-Definition Halo and Halo 2 Cinematics, The Cortana Chronicles which covers all of "Halo Nation," all-new, exclusive Machinima Episodes, and an exclusive selection of Storyboard Art from the Cinematics of Halo 3.
The Legendary Edition will be available in limited quantities for a limited time at select retailers.
About Halo 3
The epic saga continues with Halo 3, the hugely anticipated third chapter in the highly successful and critically acclaimed Halo franchise. Master Chief returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood, and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax.
Halo 3 represents the third chapter in the Halo trilogy--an international award-winning action series that grew into a global entertainment phenomenon, selling more than 14.5 million units worldwide, logging more than 650 million hours of multiplayer action on Xbox Live, and spawning action figures, books, a graphic novel, apparel, an upcoming film adaptation, and more!
The Story So Far...
It is the year 2552. Humanity has long been at war with the terrifying alien civilization that collectively calls itself The Covenant. This monstrous conglomerate of warlike species sees Humanity as a form of heresy against their religion—a religion based in the single-minded belief that a Great Journey awaits its faithful and that this Journey can be embarked upon by activating an array of vast, ring-like artifacts scattered throughout the Galaxy.
These vast, terraformed rings are called Halos and have been long-abandoned by their mysterious and long-vanished creators, The Forerunners.
The war with the Covenant has reduced humanity to ragged tatters. A once-sprawling network of planets is now almost entirely destroyed. Human populations have been decimated and world after world reduced to lifeless rock.
Enter Master Chief
This conflict, terrible and destructive though it is, has been complicated and compounded by a series of cascading events. One of these artificial worlds, these Halos, was discovered and subsequently destroyed by human forces, led by Spartan 117—the Master Chief—the last fighting member of the legendary Spartan II military program and humanity's last, best hope.
A conflict at a second Halo installation became a galaxy-spanning conflagration, as civil war erupted within the Covenant, driven by revelations that the Covenant leadership, The Prophets, had been deliberately deceiving its populace for millennia.
In truth, these Halos would not take the Covenant on a Great Journey, but rather eradicate all sentient life in the Galaxy— created by the Forerunners as weapons of last resort against the most terrifying menace the Galaxy has ever known—and a menace the deluded Covenant has reawakened for the second time in a hundred thousand years. That creeping horror will engulf the Galaxy unless some way can be found to stop it once and for all.
The Flood
That horror is the Flood—a sentient, all-consuming parasite that makes monstrous puppets of those it kills and will not stop until every last thinking creature is absorbed into its ferociously intelligent plan.
The second Halo has been activated, putting all of the remaining installations in a dangerous state of emergency standby—they are primed to fire. Worse still, the Covenant has discovered the long-hidden location of Earth and crushed almost all human resistance, as it seeks vital clues to the nature of the Halo array—some of which may have been hidden under our very feet for untold millennia.
Even with our newfound allies, the Elites, and the leadership of their valiant and honorable leader, The Arbiter, we are still hopelessly outnumbered, as the Prophets set their wills against us—and forces greater than the Covenant, wheel malevolently into place.
As the Master Chief hurtles Earthward in a Forerunner spacecraft, he may be our last chance to stop the Covenant, the Flood and the ticking time bomb that is the Halo network, before every last soul in the Galaxy is destroyed. The stakes have never been higher. It's time to finish the fight.

|Xbox 360
|There are video games, and then there's Halo. For millions of people around the world, the science fiction FPS is the reason they play games. It's the reason they bought an Xbox. It's the reason they signed up to Xbox Live. Master Chief is their hero, a modern day icon for a modern day generation...Halo 3 transcends video games. It is a global entertainment experience. Just as Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and Spiderman 3 brought to a close two of the most lucrative and epic film trilogies of all time, Halo 3 brings to a close perhaps the most complete, engaging and downright fun video game trilogy of all time. There is absolutely no way any Halo fan will be disappointed by this game.

Diablo III in ComicsPosted 21 Sep 2011 by
Two comics featuring Diablo III popped up yesterday, and as busy as the news has been, it's only logical to group them into the same post.
The first comes from The Daily Blink and it offers sound strategic advice for dealing with all sorts of dangers in Diablo III.
The second is by Tigerpaw, and it sums up the early game Demon Hunter experience fairly well. Sometimes hate is not enough…
You can see both of these comics and lots of other images like them in our Diablo 3 humor gallery.

A hearing to decide whether a man convicted of murdering a Franklin College student is mentally competent to be executed has been delayed to next month.
The hearing for Michael Dean Overstreet was scheduled to start this week but was pushed back after attorneys, Judge Cynthia Emkes and the Indiana Supreme Court reached an agreement to delay, Emkes said.
Overstreet's attorneys and attorneys from the Indiana Attorney General's offices will meet with Emkes later this month to set a new schedule, she said, adding that the hearing may be reset for mid- to late February.
Overstreet was convicted of abducting college student Kelly Eckart in Franklin in 1997, then raping and killing her before dumping her body in a ravine in Brown County. He was sentenced to death.
The hearings are the last appeal Overstreet will have in an attempt to stop the execution.
Emkes, who sentenced Overstreet to death after his trial in 2000, will hear arguments on whether he is mentally capable of understanding that he is being put to death.
The Indiana Supreme Court ordered the new hearings in September after reviewing a psychiatric exam that stated Overstreet suffers from schizophrenia and does not comprehend the concept of death.
Federal laws forbid executing anyone who is mentally incompetent and therefore cannot understand the punishment.
Local, state and federal courts have upheld Overstreet's conviction and death sentence during multiple appeals since 2000.
During the most recent appeal in July 2012, a U.S. district court denied Overstreet's appeal, and judges said they did not hear evidence that proved Overstreet has a mental illness.

The Port is known for investing time, energy and resources in marine terminals, runways and industrial parks. But it doesn't stop with new infrastructure —the Port also invests in students.
Started in 1995, the Port's internship program provides students from area colleges the chance to put their classroom learning into action. Developing human capital — through internships and other learning initiatives, such as the Mentor-Protégé program — is one important way the Port fulfills its mission of regional economic development.
Many interns go on to become full-time Port employees. Former interns work in the Port's research, real estate and GIS departments, among many others. The wildlife management department boasts the highest concentration of former interns; five wildlife team members began their careers as interns through the Port's partnership with Mount Hood Community College.
Port interns have gone on to impressive accomplishments in both the public and private sectors. One prominent example is Michael Kaplan, the current director of the Oregon Department of Energy, who interned in the Port's public affairs department from 2006 to 2007.
There are currently nine interns at the Port. One of them is Kalena Bone, an advertising and marketing major at PSU who has interned at the Port for just over a year. Kalena works in concessions development and helps establish relationships with the retail businesses that give PDX its unique local feel. Besides the hands-on experience, she's appreciated the chance to make "some really good friends in the office," as well as all the "cool, supportive people at the Port."
Another is Tera Hinckley, a PSU Masters in Geography student who interns with the Port GIS department. Tera has had the chance to be involved in several interesting and resume-building projects at the Port, including working with the storm water system data and helping to develop a temporal web map service to display PDXNext projects that will be occurring in the airport terminal. During her internship, Tera says that her "problem solving, time management and cartography skills have improved greatly."
Student Opportunities Go Beyond Internship Program
The Port's commitment to students extends beyond the traditional internship program. Since 2003, the Port has employed student consultants from Portland State University's Community Environmental Services program (CES). CES consultants help the Port manage its waste stream and have helped implement successful initiatives such as the PDX food donation program and the PDX Liquid Collection Stations.
Current CES consultant and PSU MBA student Doug Beyers had this to say:
"Not only do I get help paying for school, I also get to help solve important environmental problems and help the Port of Portland be a leader in its sustainability efforts. I'm working on a very interesting set of problems, and it's giving me the chance to apply the skills I'm learning in the classroom to meaningful, real-world challenges."
Real Work, Meaningful Experiences
Human Resources Specialist Brenda Patrick helps manage the internship program. She's proud of the opportunities students have for personal and professional development; "There's a lot of institutional knowledge in the port, and if you're willing and have a hunger and desire to learn, you can have a really great experience," Patrick said. "We pride ourselves on giving meaningful assignments, not just having interns help with catering or getting coffee."
Patrick believes the learning opportunities go both ways: "there's a lot to be gained from working with young students — people who have new ideas, especially around sustainability. It keeps the managers fresh and up-to-date with what's happening in the industry."
The Port spends both time and money to offer a meaningful internship program. It's an investment that will continue to pay dividends — for local students, for the organization and for Portland.
About the Program
The Port's internship program draws undergraduate and graduate students from many of the region's major schools, including Portland State, Lewis & Clark, Willamette University, Portland Community College, Mount Hood Community College, Seattle University, the University of Oregon, the University of Portland and Marylhurst University.
There are opportunities for students from a wide variety of majors. Port departments that regularly employ interns include engineering, environmental management, GIS, public affairs, IT, digital communications, planning, properties and legal.

This week, the Port of Portland bid a fond farewell to our interns from Inha University in South Korea. The three students recently completed their five-month internships at the Port. Before departing, they each gave a final presentation about what they learned while working at the Port and reflected on being immersed in a different culture.
The trio is studying logistics and rotated through many different departments at the Port during their term. A few of their noteworthy accomplishments include conducting cargo market research, identifying new efficiencies for moving passengers through the ticket lobby at Portland International Airport and learning more about how other airports handle wireless internet and parking fees. One of the interns also shared his knowledge of South Korea's "pay as you throw" waste collection system that uses RFID technology.
You may have seen their smiling faces if you attended the Hillsboro Airport Open House, a Hillsboro Airport Roundtable Exchange meeting or Seaport Celebration this year. They also got to make their American television debut by appearing on the KATU live television show AM Northwest to promote Seaport Celebration.
The Port has hosted interns from Inha University every year since 2009. In addition to providing them with a well-rounded educational experience, Port staff benefits from the daily cultural exchange with individuals from one of Oregon's major trade partners. We wish them luck in their upcoming travels, completion of their studies and future careers.
Read intern Ellyn Lee's previous guest post on this blog for an additional story about her early impressions after arriving in Oregon and working at the Port.

Paul Ott, president of the Board of Directors for the Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Center, says the board hopes lowering cost to build the project will encourage the Legislature to provide funding for the center in Meridian.
The estimated cost for Phase One of the project is now about $50 million rather than the $68.4 million previously projected.
Phase One includes a conference center and hall of fame, an amphitheater and a special events pavilion. Phase Two includes a performing arts center, a bandshell, and an artist-in-residency colony totaling $19.4 million.
Lawmakers provided no money in 2005 for the center. Ott says funding will be sought when lawmakers convene in January.
The center's board is hoping to fund the project with about one-third coming from the state, one-third from federal sources and the other third from local and private contributions.

Mixed Mortgage Proposal Includes 'Mockery,' Amherst Says
A mortgage-servicing settlement proposal sent to banks represents a "mixed bag" for investors in home-loan securities, making a "mockery" of some bondholder concerns, Amherst Securities Group LP analysts said.
State attorneys general and federal agencies submitted the 27-page proposal to the country's five largest servicers last week as a starting point for negotiations, according to Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, who is helping lead the talks.
Investors would benefit from proposed terms that would limit bad-loan fees borne by borrowers or bondholders and that would boost the number of loan modifications that lower homeowners' balances, reducing "re-defaults," the New York-based analysts led by Laurie Goodman said today in a report. The "big negative" stems from terms that would slow the pace of property sales after borrowers stop paying, the analysts said.
The proposal also fails to require banks to take relatively larger writedowns on borrowers' junior-ranking home-equity debt as they cut principal on mortgages owned by investors, "making a mockery of the notion of lien priority," they wrote. "We had also hoped that there would be some notion in this document that the second lien was subordinate to the first" and would take a complete, or at least disproportionate, writedown of principal, according to the report.
The current settlement doesn't go further than saying that second liens must be modified "at least proportionately to the first lien," the authors wrote. Goodman, who was inducted into the Fixed Income Analysts Society's Hall of Fame in 2009, has said lenders have jeopardized the housing market's recovery by not recognizing impairments to their home-equity holdings.
Defaulted Loan Delays
Proposed terms that would lengthen bad-loan timelines include prohibiting servicers from starting foreclosures while considering borrowers for loan modifications and requiring that they be "more careful" and thorough in producing documents to support foreclosures, Goodman said in an e-mail.
Investors lose more money per defaulted loan as property liquidations take longer, with a two-year delay for a $225,000 mortgage creating losses potentially 9 percentage points larger as taxes, insurance and property maintenance accrue, according to Amherst.
Liquidation timelines have slowed since October when all 50 states began investigating foreclosure practices after complaints that banks used faulty documents in seizing homes and servicers reviewed their practices. A Bank of America Corp. executive said yesterday that his company, the largest home-loan servicer, expects to "return to normalized foreclosure run rates over the next two to three months."
Regulatory Settlement
Regulators may also seek penalties from banks to help fund mortgage-principal reductions, which lenders have typically opposed on concern that they would encourage more defaults.
Lowering balances is "not a panacea," Terry Laughlin, the Bank of America executive who runs a unit handling its most-troubled loans, said yesterday during presentations for its investors.
Out of a sample of 100 borrowers that could potentially get loan modifications from the company under the federal Home Affordable Modification Program, 28 never return calls or fail to provide financial information, he said. An additional 52 fail to qualify, about 46 percent because they already have housing payments equal to or below 31 percent of their incomes, the "affordable" bills that HAMP seeks to create, he said.
"The fundamental issue here is if a borrower does not have sufficient income or their income's been diminished, principal reduction is not going to help them," Laughlin said.
Any settlement between servicers and regulators is unlikely to be completed within two months, contrary to what reports this week suggest, Amherst said.
"Investors need to make their voice heard," the analysts said. "Our analysis indicates there is still time."

OMG. It's like watching a garden in hyperspeed! Yesterday I had to raise the hood so my basil wouldn't get burned, because it is getting so tall. So far the experiment is working in that my plants have remained unmolested. However, my chives never really got started. Ultimately, that's okay since I don't really cook with them as much.
On Friday I am scheduled to add nutrients and water and start pinching and pruning the basil so it bushes out a bit more.
Ocimum basilicum
Thymus vulgaris
Nice garden! I have a couple aerogardens too and have grown basil many times. Basil is the best, but it grows much faster than the other herbs so you really need to keep it pruned. Chives are so-so in an aero. I can usually get them to grow well enough, but you get so little of them that they aren't very useful unless you need only a very small amount. Since you've got an empty pod, you can just sprinkle any of your own herb seed in there … oregano, mint, sage & parlsey all work very well. Or if you let Aero know you had problems with the chives, they'll replace them for you.
My experience with any kind of onion seed is that it has to be fresh. I have trouble with chives too, and will buy fresh seed this year and try again, instead of using my leftovers from last year.
Actually I did call and will be getting replacement chives in the mail. I am sooooo excited about this because so far my cat seems to be totally uninterested. Apparently she only noms fake plants! :)

Not Technically
i'm not technically a stepmom. i live w/ my boyfriend & he has a 12 yr old son. you wanna talk about hard. i'm only 14 yrs older than him. i say ONLY bc i'm still (and will always be) into cartoons & i watch nickelodeon more than a lot of kids. haha. it's just the type of tv that entertains me. but whatever. i love the kid. he's just not very well behaved & so spoiled he can't see straight. it's really hard for me to know what i can & cannot say. i don't want him running home to mommy whining that i screamed at him when all i really did was tell him he must say excuse me when he burps or close his mouth when he chews. i was raised to have manners. the child has none. serious. it's rather astounding.
good thing is, he likes me and i do like him. we can talk about shows & he's getting me into graphic novels. and god bless my boyfriend. i was / am able to talk to him about what i consider unsuitable behavior in our home and then we are able to decide together what we should do about it. we have come a LOOOONG way w/ manners. he can actually remember to say excuse me w/o prompting. yay!
overall, it's going well. he's an only child so the spoiled-ness i was expecting to a degree. he does listen to me, sort of, kind of, in a way. we'll get there surely? but any advice would be great.

Although online search is becoming increasingly accurate, there are still a handful of times where I find myself digging for relevant results or adjusting my search query to find information that matches my search intent. I realize that search engines and comparison shopping sites can't read my mind (yet!), the occasional inability to find relevant search results based on long-tail queries, location, or even channels and devices is surprising. As a millennial, I am accustomed to performing searches that supply accurate results quickly. Isn't this the 21st century? Shouldn't I be able to find information about nearly everything on the Internet? The second component of h(Paid) [2], creative, aims to do just that: provide consumers with highly relevant results by aligning ad creative with consumer intent across paid media channels.
Segmenting target audiences into granular subsections and tailoring ad content to the search objectives of each group enables marketing professionals to provide their target audiences with highly relevant ad experiences. For instance, a consumer who performs a search for "LCD televisions" on a desktop is likely performing preliminary research to guide their purchase decision and should be served a different ad experience than a consumer who searches for "Buy LCD television" on a mobile phone. The latter individual is more than likely reaching the end of their consumer decision journey and should therefore be served ads that promote local stores, the store phone number, and current sales/promotions. In contrast, the consumer who is performing online research on their desktop computer is not quite ready to buy but is looking for customer reviews, price comparisons and warranty information to guide his purchase decision. The subtle difference between queries and device use reveals valuable information about consumers' stage in the decision journey and provides marketers with valuable information about how to tailor their paid media marketing efforts to correspond with consumer intent.
Leveraging granular audience targets —broken down by device, channel, ad formats, etc.— and creating content based on user intent, enables marketers to provide relevant search results and drive engagement with the brand. Using this approach across channels bridges the gap between consumer behaviors and brands' marketing efforts and enables marketers to provide more relevant ad experiences.
Tomorrow we will continue to explore this holistic approach to paid media [3] and detail the next component
of h(Paid): Engagement.

Some delicious sounding restaurant dishes on this page! Yes, my wife does wince sometimes when I too take photos of my food!
Who knew that Terre Haute had such great places to eat. Had to return to my old "stopping grounds".Terre Haute was the "big" town where we shopped and went to the movies. We went to the teen center there and did a dance called the Terre Haute!
Your tips made me hungry. Beautiful covered bridge - a sign of colder climate (snow in winter), right?

I suppose the obligatory "Get off my lawn" phrase is in order. But, levity aside, I observed that 7 out of 10 teens I saw at the mall this afternoon were glued to their phones.
That made me laugh… and I'm a teenager!

The Jury Revisited
McCord, David, Judicature
Following is an edited transcript of a portion of the American Judicature Society Mid-Year meeting program in New Orleans March 4-5, 2005, titled "The Jury Revisited." The program consisted of four parts: The plain-English jury instruction movement (below); The new ABA Jury Trial Standards (see page 291); juries and sentencing; and juries and technology (juries and sentencing and juries and technology are not included here; unedited versions are available on request).
The "Plain-English" Jury Instruction Movement: Is 8th Grade Language Better?
Peter Tiersma, Professor, Loyola Los Angeles Law School
Hon. James Ward, Judge, California Fourth District Court of Appeal and chair of the California Judicial Council Advisory Committee on Civil Jury Instructions
Joseph Kimble, Professor, Thomas Cooley Law School
Welcome and introduction
David McCord, professor, Drake University Law School and director of the AJS National Jury Center:
Good morning. I'm very pleased to have all of you here. I'm really excited about the panelists we have for you. Literally, on every one of these topics, there could not be better panelists. We're going to begin with the panel on plain-English jury instructions.
Peter Tiersma: I'm going to give you a brief history of jury instructions and how we got to where we are today. My professional website, LANGUAGE andLAW.org, has information on jury instructions and California's jury instruction committees, as well as links to the most recent California plainlanguage jury instructions and a comparison of the older and newer ones.
A trial is a search for the truth, or at least a search to find out what happened. In the Middle Ages, a common way to find out what happened was ordeal by fire or by water. Ordeal by fire involved going to a church during the Mass, where the defendant would deny committing the crime. Then he would grab with both hands an iron that had been heated over a fire. Those hands would then be bound with cloth, and three days later he would reappear in church. If his wounds had gotten better, God had declared that he had told the truth; if they got worse, God had branded him a liar.
By 1215, the church decided that priests could no longer take part in the ordeal. At that point, God could no longer be viewed as speaking through the ordeal. Judges had to find a new way to determine the truth. The new method was to summon 12 people from the place where a crime occurred into court and to ask them what happened. That is the origin of the modern jury. Those people were put under oath and so they were named with the Latin term juralores, or "those who are sworn," which in French is juré; that, of course, led to the term "jury" in English.
In the beginning these juries did not receive any instructions on the law. They were expected to decide the case based upon their own knowledge of the law or what they thought was right. That continued in England for hundreds of years, which is why during much of the Middle Ages certain areas of English law were really not very well developed.
This was true in the early United States as well. In fact, the Founders thought that this was a good thing. Thomas Jefferson, for example, had great confidence in the common man and thought that it was actually the right thing for jurors to decide the case based on their own sense of justice. But during the 180Os, American society became more industrialized and complex. Moreover, people began to become bothered by the notion that one jury could decide a case one way, and another could decide it differently. There were few predictable rules of law if a jury could impose its own sense of justice. So by the end of the nineteenth century we begin to see courts taking away the right of jurors to decide what the law is.
At end of the nineteenth century the United States Supreme Court held that it is the duty of juries in criminal cases to take the law from the court, and to apply that law to the facts. …

So, what did you think of tonight's episode?
I thought the dermatology 'watching' was funny. I'm still wondering who Marc's love will be. I'm really hoping it's not Lexie. Once I get past the whole George/Meredith debacle, I think George and Lexie would be cute. I'm still not liking the Callie/Erika storyline. It just seems so stupid to me. Sorry. They approach it as if they're experimenting and that just doesn't resonate with me. However, I thought the Callie/Bailey scenes were hilarious! I loved that Izzie didn't let Alex take her patient. Good for her! Alex deserved what he got. Also, do you think George will eventually go into pediatrics? I think he'd be great in that area. Oh, I felt so bad for Lexie when George kind of forgot about her. Awww...poor Lexie.

It is the most wonderful time of year. The time to remember family and friends, spend time with them, and relax.
Heart, oh heart, be calm, be still
Don't flutter in my breast,
Don't let the problems of the day
Cause you so much unrest,
The worries of tomorrow,
Just as surely as today,
Can cause the vision of hopeless eyes
To see all life as gray.

Dear Editor,
I believe the lyrics from John Lennon, "So this is Christmas," is an appropriate way to start this letter. It is the Christmas season all over the world.
The weather was great day for a picnic or barbecue during the North Augusta Lions Club Christmas Parade on Sunday afternoon, and many onlookers took advantage of the balmy conditions.

While idling, either in park or with my foot on the break my speedometer jumps like i'm going between 10-20MPH. I noticed it tends to do it more often when the heat is on. I was told it would be the speed sensors so I had those replaced and its still doing it. The first time it happened I brought it to the shop, the tranny fluid was 2 qts low and it came back with 2 codes, one for the speed sensors, the other for a gear shift sensor or something like that. Now that I've replaced the speed sensors its coming back with no codes. Please help I have no clue what is going on.
