Death of a Salesman
by Arthur Miller
Death of a Salesman Act Two Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
Quote 4
WILLY: You wait, kid, before it's all over we're gonna get a little place out in the country, and I'll raise some vegetables, a couple of chickens…
LINDA: You'll do it yet, dear. (Act 2)
Despite all evidence to the contrary, Willy maintains that they will escape their current financial situation and create something new. We wonder, though, if Linda is as delusional as her husband. Does she really believe that there is a house in the country in their future?
Quote 5
WILLY: Gee whiz! That's really somethin'. I'm gonna knock Howard for a loop, kid. I'll get an advance and I'll come home with a New York job. Goddammit, now I'm gonna do it!
LINDA: Oh, that's the spirit Willy! (Act 2)
Willy experiences occasional moments of extreme optimism that contrast with similarly extreme moments of depression. The back and forth between these highs and lows is what eventually tears him apart.
Quote 6
LINDA: You're doing well enough, Willy!
BEN [to Linda]: Enough for what, my dear?
LINDA [frightened of Ben and angry at him]: Don't say those things to him! Enough to be happy right here, right now. [To Willy, while Ben laughs] Why must everybody conquer the world? You're well liked and the boys love you and someday—[to Ben]—why, old man Wagner told him just the other day that if he keeps it up he'll be a member of the firm, didn't he, Willy? (Act 2)
Linda expresses concern that Willy's massive aspirations are getting the better of him. She seems afraid that if Willy latches on to his brother's big dreams of success, then she may never see her husband again.

March 2, 2014 ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – The No. 3 University of South Carolina Aiken baseball team dropped an 11-4 contest at Flagler in the final game of the three-game series.
The Pacers are now 11-4 on the season.
Down 1-0 heading into the third stanza, Ty Barkell homered to right field, plating Costen who had walked. The base hit gave head coach Kenny Thomas' team a 2-1 advantage.
However, the Saints would even the contest in the bottom of the third en route to scoring a run in the fourth, five in the fifth, two in the sixth and one in the eighth for an 11-2 margin.
USC Aiken did not go down without a fight.
In the ninth, Ryan Metzler led off the frame with a base hit to left. A single by Ben Donath put runners on first and second with nobody out.
With one down, Corey Bryant pinch hit for Dylan Durham and calmly singled, loading the bases.
Kody Belcher's single through the left side of the infield plated Metzler, making the score 11-3. Tyler Moore's sacrifice fly allowed Donath to cross home while making it an 11-4 game. Belcher swiped second, getting into scoring position. However, USC Aiken was unable to plate any more runs in the game.
For the game, the Pacers totaled nine hits, including a pair by Metzler. However, eight of the nine hits were for singles with the only extra-base hit coming off the bat of Barkell.
Nick Yobbi took the loss for USC Aiken. He went 4.1 innings, giving up seven runs on nine hits. Yobbi struck out seven.
The Pacers look to get back on track this week when they host Paine Wednesday evening in a non-conference tilt. Game time is slated for 6 p.m.

KG Foxes own the Battlefield District
- Details

History was theirs for the taking, and the Foxes did not disappoint! The Foxes destiny for notability was secured last Friday at Culpeper High School, when boys' and girls' outdoor track and field teams swept the Battlefield District Championship. The last time the Foxes conquered the district championship was five years ago, when the sport was dominated with legendary stars — the likes of Phillip Liggins, Shanna Harris, Stephond Owens, Cameron Rice and Courtney Venable.
Now that a new day is dawning, the Foxes are filled with a litany of stars ready to showcase their talents. Shearl Levere broke the school record in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 15.68 seconds. Levere was the point getter with three first place victories in the 100-meter hurdles, 300-meter hurdles (47.82) and the triple jump (34'7.50"). Levere also contributed points in a sixth place finish in the long jump (16'4.50").
Fox varsity baseball takes center-stage

With only Caroline left on their schedule, the Foxes varsity baseball team (8-5, 12-7) could finish in second place behind undefeated Battlefield leader Courtland. This milestone would mark the best record the Foxes have had in five years. Even if Spotsylvania won their remaining game, the Foxes would still finish ahead of the Knights, based on defeating them twice during the season. Results of the Caroline game were not available due to press deadlines.
Last Thursday's 2-1 victory at Ross Memorial Field in Spotsylvania, is a sure sign that the Battlefield District is in the process of renovation. Against one of the best teams in the district, Chris Davis pitched six and third innings of shutout baseball, which resulted in one run in the seventh. Davis finished with four strikeouts, no walks and gave up four hits.
Davis is an intangible that most teams would dream of having. The senior right-hander has pitched more than 52 innings of baseball, that has resulted in 66 strikeouts and only 20 walks. But his 3-3 record, which includes four no-decisions, cannot describe his value to the Fox baseball program.

Last Wednesday, at Culpeper High School, the Foxes continued their reign of dominance over the Battlefield District, as the girls' and boys' teams defeated Culpeper, James Monroe and Eastern View. With the upcoming district championships taking place at Culpeper High School in less than two weeks, all eight-district teams will be utilizing the remaining meets to improve their performances. The final opportunity for athletes to qualify for the State and Regional championship will be at the Millbrook Invitational on Friday, May 14.
Amethyst Polk led the Foxes girls with victories in the 200 meters (26.20), long jump (15'2") and the triple jump (32'8.5"). Polk also placed second in the 400 meters with a time of 1:10.28. Polk's teammate Shearl Levere also gave her team a lift, with first place finishes in the 100-meter hurdles (17.8) and the 300-meter hurdles (50.12). In the field events, Levere placed second in the long jump (15'1") and third in the triple jump (31'9").
In the distance events, Ciara Mading recorded victories in the 1,600 meters (6:11.9) and the 3,200 meters (13:00.45).
In a show of strength, Shaquoy Morris won the discus event with a toss of 84'5". Morris also placed third in the shot put (26'4"). The Lady Foxes won the meet with 109 total points, with Culpeper finishing second with 66 points.
As for the Foxes boys, Joe Walton finished first in the 100 meters (10.59) and the 200 meters (22.22). Terry Santos also had a banner day, with a first place finish in the 300-meter hurdles (40.26). Santos contributed valuable second place points in the triple jump (38'9.5"), high jump (5'10") and long jump (21'1").
Rounding out the boys first place winners, were the 4x100 (45.1", Terry Santos, Wayne Wyatt, David Jerson, Joe Walton) and 4x400 (3:40, David Jerso, Corey Rodriguez, Matt Mohr, RJ Brown) relay teams.
The Foxes travel to Chancellor High School on Wednesday to compete against Courtland, James Monroe and Chancellor.

Terry Santos: a perfectionist at heart

The stage is set, and the 2010 outdoor track and field theater has already exploded with one of the best 300-meter hurdle times in state, courtesy of King George High School senior Terry Santos. Thanks to his performance at the Bob Murray Invitational last week, the State qualifier has already ensured himself a spot on the Fox team in the 300-meter hurdles, 110-meter hurdles and 4x100 meter relay events.
How fast is Santos? Even the Ferrum College-bound psychology major does know the answer that million dollar question — because every time steps onto the track, he continues to improve in nearly every one of his events. In addition, the blistering speedster has only competed in track for two years.
Most recently at the Caroline Invitational, Santos blew out the field as he placed first in the 300 meters with a time of 40.22, distancing himself from a field of 16 schools. In a show of dominance, Santos also placed first in the 110 hurdles (15.58), before adding points to his team with a fifth place finish in the high jump (6'), a eighth place finish in the triple jump (39'9"), a sixth place finish in the long jump (19'7") and contributing to a third place finish for the 4x100 relay team (43.91).
Because of his current time status in the 300 meters, Santos now ranks among some of the best track and field athletes in the state. He is ranked higher than Louisa's Dante Davis. Davis helped his alma mater win the Jefferson District title and the Region II outdoor track and field championship last year.
Last season, Santo made All-State in outdoor track and field, after finishing seventh in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 40.64.
Along with Joe Walton and R.J. Brown, Santos is among the top point producers for the boys track and field outdoor program. However, with all the accolades that he has earned as a hurdler, Santos is often reminded of his rocky journey to the top.
"When I first started, I can honestly say that I was the worst hurdler on the team," Santos said recently during a track and field practice. "But a former teammate, Brandon Boone, reminded me to keep working hard, and that he could see me getting better. When Brandon graduated, I knew it was my job to step up."
During winter track and field, Santos finished second in the Regional Championship with a time of 8.06 in the 55-meter hurdles — qualifying him for the AA Indoor State Championships.
Although track will always be one of his favorite sports, his first love has always been football. In fact, it was his tackle that prevented the Drifters from a possible rally during the first game of the football season last fall.
"When Terry puts his mind to whatever he does, he is unstoppable," KGHS head football coach Jeff Smith said. "There were some games that I could not believe what he had done on the field. There were some games where a team would double-team him, more often than not, a team's entire game plan was focused on Terry. He held the position of defensive end down."
Inspired by his brothers, Lorenzo and Lavontay, Santos took an interest in track, and two years later, it has paid off in dividends for both his school and the legacy he will leave behind.
"I really didn't get into sports until high school, and track was something I could work on and improve."
Santos also played basketball two years, and is highly regarded by his peers as role model both in and out of the classroom.

Shearl Levere: athletic poetry in motion

Stride for stride, Shearl Levere has come into her own. The King George junior is not your typical high school athlete. Her quiet demeanor is often overshadowed by her accomplishments in the sport of track and field and her polished academic record.
How good is she? Tall, statuesque and focused are three words that only begin to describe what rivals often see after Levere has crossed the finish line in first place.
Most recently, during winter track, Levere became the top point getter at the Regional Indoor Championships, acquiring two titles in the horizontal jump with top marks of 15'11.75" and 34'0.75" in the triple jump.

Euspira catena
Euspira catena, previously known as Natica catena, common name the large necklace shell, is a medium-sized species of predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Naticidae, the moon snails. [3]
Description [edit]
The rounded shell is thin and polished and brownish-yellow, with a row of reddish markings just below the suture of the last whorl. It can grow to about 3 cm (1 in) and has a short spire and seven rounded whorls separated with distinct sutures. The lowest whorl occupies about 90% of the volume. It has a large umbilicus and the operculum is ear-shaped and spirally wound. The foot is cream coloured and very large, partially covering the shell when the animal is moving. The head has two long flattened tentacles and a short snout with extensible proboscis. The large necklace shell might be confused with a similar but smaller species, the common necklace shell (Euspira pulchella).[4][2]
Distribution [edit]
The large necklace shell is found on the coasts of Northwest Europe, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Skagerrak and in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean.[5]
Biology [edit]
The large necklace shell lives buried in the sand and gravel of the lower shore and the neritic zone to depths of 125 metres. It feeds on bivalve molluscs, penetrating their shells with its proboscis and sucking out the contents.[2]
Egg capsules are laid in a spirally wound collar of jelly embedded with sand grains. The remains of these may be found on the beach.[2]

NERF guns are fun. Sure, they might be crafted for the kids out there, but let's face it -- they're fun. But there's always a way to make something that's cool, even cooler. And that's exactly what one man did. With a bit of ingenuity, and probably watching one too many movies with heat-tracking weapons, he managed to create a NERF machine gun that can track your body heat, and shoot you when it does.
The designers name is Rick Prescott, and he managed to wrangle up an IR sensor, and connect it to a rather large plastic machine gun. The NERF weapon is the Vulcan EBF-25TM, and as you can see from the video below, it means business. And, while the NERF Vulcan with heat-tracking ability may not be on the military's list of must-need weapons, it does offer up quite a bit of fun. As for Prescott, he intents on putting the automatic weapon at the front of his cubicle, and letting it loose on those "less desirables." Of course, unless it gets some face recognition, Prescott may find himself quite a lonely person at work from this point on.

Breezy Talk: Interior Secretary Salazar's Offshore Wind Dreams
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is heavily touting the offshore wind-power potential of the U.S. Is he overdoing it?
Secretary Salazar, in Atlantic City for the first of four public meetings to discuss America's offshore energy resources, raised eyebrows when he said offshore wind farms could replace 3,000 coal-fired plants. He contends that the offshore wind potential just in the Atlantic—the easiest region to develop–totals about 1,000 gigawatts.
Let's put that in context. The entire electricity-generation capacity of the U.S., including coal, gas, nuclear, hydropower and other renewables, is just over 1,000 gigawatts. There are only about 1,400 coal plants in operation in the U.S., accounting for about 336 gigawatts of power. So that would indeed be a lot of wind.
But of that nominal 1,000 gigawatts of Atlantic wind potential, 770 gigawatts are in deep waters (that is, 200 feet or more). There are currently no deep-water wind farms anywhere in the world.
Even shallow-water wind farms are far from a slam-dunk: Of the world's 120 gigawatts of wind power, less than 1% are installed offshore. A single landlocked project, T. Boone Pickens' planned wind farm in Texas, would be three times bigger than the world's stock of offshore wind farms.
But one thing is the theoretical wind resource and another is the amount of power the country can realistically develop. Secretary Salazar focused on the wind-power potential of the mid-Atlantic, which is about 463 gigawatts. Realistically, he said, 40% of that could be developed—or about 185 gigawatts. That's still almost double the power potential of the U.S. nuclear fleet.
But wind power, even offshore wind power, isn't the same as coal or nuclear. Offshore wind farms in Europe are lucky to generate 40% of their listed capacity. So that limits that mid-Atlantic resource to about 74 gigawatts. And that doesn't even consider the technical and economic hurdles that still dog offshore wind power and make it less competitive than its onshore cousin.
Vestas, the world's leading maker of wind turbines, knows a thing or two about wind power. Chief executive Ditlev Engel is obviously bullish on U.S. wind power—he figures the U.S. could easily pull a Denmark and get 50% of its electricity from the wind. But not even Mr. Engel, who makes the massive turbines for offshore wind farms, thinks that path makes much sense for the U.S.
"Why would the U.S. do offshore wind? It has plenty of resources on land; offshore wind is for countries without that kind of resource," he said in February.

A San Mateo County woman filed a discrimination lawsuit Monday against Abercrombie & Fitch, claiming the clothing retailer firing her from its Hollister Co. store at Hillsdale Shopping Center because her Muslim headscarf clashed with the company's image.
When Hani Khan was hired for a stockroom job in the fall of 2009, she was told her hijab would not conflict with the policy as long as it matched company colors. She was fired in February 2010, however, after a district manager and corporate human resources manager asked if she would remove her hijab while working, according to the suit.
"When I was asked to remove my scarf after being hired with it on, I was demoralized and felt unwanted," Khan, 20, said in a statement. "Growing up in this country where the Bill of Rights guarantees freedom of religion, I have felt let down."
Kahn, a college student who attended San Mateo High School, appeared at a news conference Monday in San Francisco to announce she has joined the U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Commission in a federal discrimination lawsuit.
"For an employer to, point-blank, to require an employee to relinquish their religious practice is a violation of our cherished civil rights laws," said Zahra Billoo, executive director of the Bay Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which is representing Kahn in the case. "It's really important that individual rights are protected and the 1964 Civil Rights Act is upheld."
Khan filed a complaint with the EEOC after she was fired. In September, the commission decided Khan had been wrongfully fired. Attempts at conciliation between Khan and the retailer failed in January 2011, said Araceli Martinez-Olguin, a staff attorney with the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center, which is also representing Kahn.
"Their policy doesn't reflect the diversity that is America," Martinez-Olquin said. "Abercrombie & Fitch cannot hide behind a look policy to justify violating Ms. Khan's civil rights. Their refusal to accommodate her wearing her hijab is not only unlawful, but un-American."
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.
It seeks damages and a change in Abercrombie & Fitch's policies regarding religious headgear.
Abercrombie & Fitch did not immediately respond Monday to a request for comment.

GOSHEN — Coordinated raids stretching from the Bronx to the Hudson Valley led to the arrest Tuesday of 13 people accused of distributing kilograms of heroin and cocaine in Middletown, the City of Newburgh, New Windsor, Beacon and the Bronx, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
All but one of 14 people indicted were arrested in raids carried about about 6 a.m. after a roughly three-month investigation by the Hudson Valley Safe Streets Task Force.
Arrests occurred in the Bronx, Dutchess County, Middletown, Newburgh and other locations.
The defendants all face federal narcotics conspiracy charges and sentences of 10 years to life in federal court.
One defendant, Darrell Lopez, remains at large.
"Today's arrests exemplify our unrelenting efforts to remove drug dealers from our streets and make them safe for law-abiding citizens, city and country," said Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
An unsealed indictment charges those arrested with buying, processing and distributing large quantities of cocaine and heroin from at least 2008 up to last month.
During the course of a roughly three-month investigation some of defendants paid a confidential source for heroin and cocaine they intended to resell, or sold large quantities of drugs to a confidential source, the indictment said.
One defendant, Michael Figueroa, is charged with having 2 kilos of cocaine in the City of Newburgh on June 11. Another, Abner Alvarez Sr., is accused of selling kilogram-quantities of cocaine in the area of South Robinson Street in Newburgh between 2011 and September.
"Here we made a concerted effort to concentrate on suppliers," said Supervisory Senior Resident Agent Felipe Orengo of the Safe Streets task force.
The case involved the FBI; the DEA; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Homeland Security Investigations; and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Also involved were the U.S. Postal Service, state police and local officers from Beacon, Middletown, the City and Town of Newburgh and the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Windfall Theatre still in tune with 'A Little Night Music'
Many Stephen Sondheim musicals benefit from being performed in a smaller space, where voices and emotions require no amplification to be heard and seen. That's perhaps most true of "A Little Night Music" - a delectable lemon meringue that combines the delicate, light farce of Hugh Wheeler's book with the tart filling provided by Sondheim's score.
It's therefore no accident that the nearby Writers' Theatre production of "Night Music" last summer - in a house that barely seats 100 - was better in every way than the 2009 Broadway revival featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury. »Read Full Article(1)
Jazz masters bring Newport Jazz Festival to Wilson Center
Sixty years ago this summer, jazz musicians and fans established an unlikely beachhead in Newport, R.I., to the annoyance of some uppity mansion-owners.
But the art and artists prevailed. And, over time, the Newport Jazz Festival has thrived, producing historic concerts and recordings. »Read Full Article(2)
In First Stage's 'Crash,' a football player learns how to hug
Recalling young actor Seth Horne from past First Stage shows, what stands out is a seemingly incorruptible innocence, inscribed in a sensitive, open face that reflects an unabashed enthusiasm for life. In a memorable show like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," for example, Horne's projection of Charlie's fundamental, rock-solid goodness stood in stark contrast to the bratty kids accompanying Charlie on tour.
But kids grow up, often losing their sense of magic along the way; many of them become bullies. In the First Stage production of "Crash," that's the rocky road being traveled by seventh-grader John "Crash" Coogan — convincingly played by Horne, in the Defense Cast of alternating young actors I saw Saturday night. »Read Full Article

"Batu Maung - Just south of airport" Batu Maung by SLLiew
Batu Maung Travel Guide: 23 reviews and 75 photos
Batu Maung is now of easy reach with the extension of the coastal highway from the Penang Bridge.
It has been a sleeping rustic fishermen village but now a busy town.
Has quite a number of tourist destinations like the Sam Poh Temple, War Museum, Fisheries Institute aquarium and popular seafood restaurants by the sea.
A further drive away is the fishing villages of Teluk Kumbar and Gertak Sanggul worthy of a visit.

Biologically Appropriate Commitment
Dogs and cats are built like their ancestors, that's why all of Orijen's recipes are based on five Biologically Appropriate principals:
- Rich and Varied in Fresh Whole Meats In nature, dogs benefit from a diversity of prey, so Orijen features meats, organs and cartilage from an assortment of cage-free poultry, free-range red meats and wild-caught fish.
- Meat and Protein Rich Your dog is a carnivore, adapted for a diet rich in meat and protein. Orijen is loaded with 75-90% meat -- up to three times as much meat as conventional dog foods.
- Carbohydrates Limited A dog's natural diet contains few, if any, carbohydrates. That's why Orijen replaces fast carbohydrates (such as potatoes and rice) with low-glycemic and regionally-sourced fruits and vegetables.
- Fresh Fruits, Vegetables and Berries In place of cereal grains that spike blood sugars (such as rice and corn), Orijen features fresh orchard-grown fruits and vegetables that supply fiber and antioxidants in a natural form.
- Botanicals Strengthen the Body and Spirit Providing an element of your dog's diet that he naturally craves, botanicals boost metabolism, strengthen organs and help cleanse the body of toxins.
Whole Prey Foods
In the wild, dogs consume the whole animal to meet their full dietary needs, so Orijen recipes incorporate three Whole Prey elements in specific ratios.
High meat inclusions means all amino acids are provided in natural form, without any synthetic supplements.
5 to 10% bone, marrow and cartilage provide calcium, phosphorus, glucosamine and chondroitin in a natural source, without any artificial additives.
10 to 15% fresh liver and tripe are a richly nourishing source of vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc and vitamins A, B and D.
Fresh, Whole Food Ingredients
- Licorice Root Supplies soluble fiber, soothes and nourishes the digestive tract, cleanses the colon and reduces insulin levels.
- Cranberries and Blueberries Rich in antioxidants, supports immunity and urinary health.
- Angelica Root and Fenugreek Supports digestion and provides protective antioxidants that defend the kidney against chronic damage.
- Butternut Squash Loaded with healthy fiber and a natural source of vitamins including B6 for immune support.
Quality Sustainable Ingredients
KNOW WHERE YOUR FOOD COMES FROM AND HOW IT'S RAISED. Orijen believes you have a right to know where the ingredients in your dog's food comes from. From nest-laid eggs and wild northern pike to juicy orchard-grown apples and crisp garden greens, each ingredient is sourced from local producers they know and trust.
About Champion Petfoods
Orijen products are created by Champion Petfoods, an award-winning pet food maker whose mission is to make Biologically Appropriate dog and cat foods from fresh regional ingredients.
The ingredients used in Orijen recipes are sustainably raised or caught in Canada by local ranchers, farmers and fisherman then delivered fresh to their in-house kitchens daily. Each batch of Orijen is carefully quality checked to meet the strictest production and nutritional standards.

As part of my work in the clinic I was able to handle family law cases involving victims of domestic violence. For instance, I was able to work on a joint petition for divorce, and it was through that experience that I learned to deal directly with unrepresented parties. It was a great experience that sharpened my ethical skills as a budding attorney and exposed me to something that is very common in the area of public interest law.
My best experience during this time was probably working with my main client, a domestic abuse victim who was struggling to maintain custody of her young son. Her traumatic past made her behavior sometimes erratic and difficult to deal with. Nevertheless, she was a resilient, resourceful, caring young mother. Through my representation of her I strengthened my written and oral advocacy skills and better understood both the impact of domestic abuse and the proper legal mechanisms for addressing its symptoms.
It was my time spent working with this woman at the in-house clinic that really solidified my desire to continue working in public interest, particularly in the area of family law and domestic violence. I was even able to continue my work in this field during the summer of my 2L year by working in the Family Law Unit of Greater Boston Legal Services, in a paid position through the federal work-study program. This is an opportunity I would not have had if I did not have the experience that the Public Interest Clinic provided for me.
My second clinical experience was when I signed up for the Criminal Procedure II clinic, in the fall semester of my third year. I was placed at the Boston Municipal Court with the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. Through my work in this clinic I was able to represent the office in criminal matters before the court. My employer gave me significant responsibility and a lot of control over my own cases. I was able to represent the office in everything from arraignments to plea negotiations and even composed an Opposition to a Motion for New Trial, which I argued before a judge. This clinic was instrumental in not only exposing me to this new area of law, but also in improving my confidence in my ability to manage cases on my own. It was another great clinic experience I would highly recommend.
As a 3L I am finishing my time at New England Law in the Tax Clinic with Professor Frank Scharaffa. It is another great opportunity for me to gain experience in an entirely new area of law. This clinic is providing me with a wonderful opportunity to improve my legal writing skills while I learn what it is like to practice in the area of tax law.
All in all, my experience with the New England Law Clinical Program has been absolutely wonderful. The program has an amazing staff that provided me with endless amounts of support and advice as I gained immeasurable confidence in my abilities as a future attorney. I highly recommend the clinical program at New England Law to any student who not only wants to experience what it is like to practice in public interest law, but also to anyone who wants to acquire skills and experiences that will serve them immensely as a young attorney. The program has opened many doors for me and I will be forever grateful for its impact on my law school experience.

Women's Tennis Defeated by Arizona State, 5-2
Feb. 23, 2013
TEMPE, Ariz. – Although the #51 Pepperdine women's tennis team won the doubles point vs. #29 Arizona State, the Waves could not convert in singles and suffered a 5-2 loss.
In doubles, Pepperdine won two of the three matches to take a 1-0 advantage heading into singles. Although the team has come close on several occasions, it was the first time in 2013 the Waves have won the doubles point.
The Sun Devils struck first, winning from the No. 3 spot in the lineup but Ale Granillo (Pachuca, Mexico/Instituto Hidalgo) and Michaela Capannolo (Hawthorn, Australia/Genazzano FCJ College) responded with an 8-5 triumph vs. Joanna Smith and Ebony Panoho.
Khunpak Issara (Bangkok, Thailand/Bangkok Patana School) and Lorraine Guillermo (Walnut, Calif./Rowland HS) clinched the point for Pepperdine, outlasting Nicole Smith and Jacqueline Cako 8-6.
Arizona State regained the lead in singles, winning three matches before the Waves were able to put another point on the board. Issara downed Leighann Sahagun 7-5, 6-2 to improve to a team-best 5-2 this dual season.
Although Issara's win put the score at 3-2 in favor of the Sun Devils, ASU won the final two matches for a final score of 5-2.

For Consumers
Visudyne (verteporfin for injection) is a light-activated drug used in photodynamic therapy. Visudyne offers an anatomical treatment that occludes mature vessels that may be expressing less or no VEGF. It works to effect vaso-occlusion of the arteriolarized neovessels that may be the cause of persistent activity.*
*Persistent activity is defined herein as exudative manifestations that continue despite anti-VEGF treatments
For Information on Reimbursement and Patient Assistance Services, call the FOCUS ON ACCESS Hotline, (866)-272-8838 (Monday-Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM EST).
Visudyne (verteporfin for injection) is indicated for the treatment of predominantly classic subfoveal choroidal neovascularization due to age-related macular degeneration, pathologic myopia, or presumed ocular histoplasmosis.
Visudyne is contraindicated for patients with porphyria or known hypersensitivity to any component of Visudyne.
Infusion-related transient back pain occurred with Visudyne only. Verteporfin infusion induces temporary photosensitivity; patients should avoid exposure of skin and eyes to direct sunlight or bright indoor light for 5 days. To prevent extravasation, avoid fragile hand veins in favor of larger antecubital veins.
Severe vision decrease (≥4 lines) was reported within 7 days in 1% to 5% of patients. Partial recovery occurs in some patients. Do not re-treat these patients until vision completely recovers to pretreatment levels and potential benefits and risks of subsequent treatment are carefully weighed.
The most frequently reported adverse events (10% to 30% incidence) were injection site reactions (including extravasation and rashes), blurred vision, decreased visual acuity, and visual field defects.

The year in review
2012 was a year of many diverse events – the continuing Arab Spring the global recession, Curiosity rover's landing on Mars, Hurricane Sandy, Obama's reelection as US president, debates over the regulation of the internet, and the Rio+20 summit.
As we approach the end of an eventful year, it's important to reflect on where we've been, where we're headed and what role technology is playing in transforming our society. Our focus throughout the year has been on bringing Technology for Good to life by using our global scale and commitment to sustainability to bring about change. We remain committed to applying technology to help solve key global challenges relating to peace, development, refugees and human rights.
In some cases, we achieve these goals through global policy and advocacy frameworks. These include the Broadband Commission for Digital Development, which aims to expand broadband access in all countries, and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, which aims to mobilize scientific and technical expertise in support of sustainable-development problem solving. Both of these organizations aim to accelerate progress toward the Millennium Development Goals.
During the course of 2012, we strengthened our internal governance and affirmed our commitment to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Through Connect to Learn, we have worked to promote the importance of secondary education for girls in developing countries as a way of helping to end poverty. This initiative is steadily gaining momentum – from Africa to the Amazon. Together with our partners, we have connected 25 schools and improved the lives of thousands of students and teachers.
Together with Refugees United, we have used mobility to help refugees reconnect with their loved ones. As of this year, 180,000 users of more than 80 nationalities were registered for the program and approximately 100 families had been reconnected. Having surpassed our initial targets, we announced a new goal to get 1 million people on the program by 2015.
With the UN Foundation, Mashable and 92nd Street Y, we have worked to drive social change through social media engagement. The ability of technology to support sustainable development was in focus at two major events this year – the Rio+Social held in Brazil in June and the Social Good Summit, which took place around the world in September.
No country will be left untouched by our changing climate. In April the Broadband Commission issued a report on climate change that highlighted important policy recommendations. While some progress was made at the recent COP18 UN Climate Change Conference, there is still much work to be done in this area. The GeSI's SMARTer 2020 report, released during the COP18 event, found that ICT-enabled solutions could potentially reduce global CO2 emissions by 16% by 2020, resulting in savings of USD 1.9 trillion.
Technology will not solve all of the world's problems, but it can be an important enabler. In this holiday season, I would like to wish you a happy new year for 2013 and hope for your continued engagement in Technology for Good.

Why There May Be an iPhone 5 Shortage
There's no doubt initial demand for Apple's iPhone 5 has been strong. After all, Apple said it sold more than 5 million new iPhones in just three days after its Sept. 21 launch.
But developments at component suppliers in Asia indicate some Apple fans might have to wait a bit longer to get their hands on the latest smartphone from the Cupertino, Calif. company.
Labor disputes at Apple's major assembler in Asia, Hon Hai Precision Industry, escalated over the weekend. The Wall Street Journal reported that new disputes erupted among workers at the Chinese factory that makes the iPhone, but Hon Hai, which uses the trade name Foxconn, denied the disputes led to work stoppages. China Labor Watch, a U.S.-based Chinese labor-rights organization, says that as many as 4,000 workers at a factory assembling the iPhone 5 went on strike, leading to a disruption in production for a full day. This isn't the first time the Apple assembler has had to deal with labor strife. Last month, a fight at a northern China factory campus owned by Hon Hai escalated into a riot leading to 40 injuries. These labor disputes threaten to undermine Hon Hai's production as it moves to meet demand from Apple ahead of the busy holiday season.
Some analysts are pointing to a potential shortage of a particular chip used to store data in iPhones called NAND flash memory. These chips store data in almost every consumer-electronic gadget, even when a device is switched off. According to Taiwan-based online chip clearinghouse DRAMeXchange, NAND prices have been spiking over the past few weeks—by as much as 11%–because of strong demand from consumer electronics makers. Apple relies on several manufacturers to secure memory chips, including rival Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, but if there were a severe shortage of the chips, Apple would have to scramble to find another supplier. Apple has already been shifting some memory-chip orders for its iPhone 5 from Samsung to other Asian chip suppliers. Even though Samsung has about a 40% market share in NAND flash memory chips, the company is also trying to use the same components in its smartphones and tablets, so there is less to go around.
The iPhone 5 uses a new display technology called "in-cell" that enables the screen to be thinner than older versions. But suppliers of in-cell technology displays in Asia—mainly LG Display, Sharp and Japan Display—say these components are more difficult to manufacture than conventional ones. Japan's Sharp, for one, only just started shipping the screens for the iPhone 5 last month after citing manufacturing difficulties for the delay. Samsung uses a different display technology called AMOLED, so there are fewer suppliers for in-cell displays.

On Monday, New York's Adam Platt gave two stars to Perla and its rustic Italian fare. What did New York's crop of professional eaters think about the city's restaurants this week? Let's take a look.
Pastry wizard Alex Stupak's latest venture, Empellón Cocina, is the most popular haunt this week, drawing reviews from Bloomberg's Ryan Sutton and Pete Wells of the New York Times. Sutton approves of Stupak's intellectual approach to cooking and notes, "Stupak's food is only complicated until you start eating, at which point it becomes delicious." Wells leaves Cocina comparably impressed, if not swooning. "At its best," Wells writes, "Mr. Stupak's cooking at Empellón Cocina resembles the food of Mexico the way a dream resembles life." Wells awards two stars; Sutton gives it three.
Latin flavor doesn't end this week at the door to Empellón Cocina; the Times ventures also to La Churreria, dishing out Spanish mainstays in Nolita. Come for the churros here, which are "hardly sweet at all" and pair beautifully with melted chocolate for dipping; stay for the Spanish submarine "packed with crunchy calamari loops and pimento-laced aioli."
The Times is impressed with the arctic char at recently opened Prima, where fish is the focus. The restaurant might be confused as to what kind of bar it is (coffee bar, raw bar, or traditional?), but the paper likes it all.
Robert Sietsema enjoys his trip to Benares where, of the Indian food offered, the Benarasi dum aloo is a standout. It might not be as authentic or enlightening as a journey to the banks of the Ganges, he notes, but the fare holds its own.
Finally, The New Yorker dines this week at Wong, where the "single best thing on the menu" is the roast-duck ice cream, "so salty-sweet it puts caramel to shame."

Virginia Challenge to Health-Care Law Likely to Move Forward
It's undoubtedly something President Obama and congressional Democrats didn't want to come true.
But indeed it is: The battle over the constitutionality of the health-care bill passed in March is not going away anytime soon.
The latest: A federal judge in Virginia on Monday said that he'd rule before the end of the year on whether the health overhaul violates the Constitution. And according to the WSJ's Janet Adamy, "he seemed sympathetic to the plaintiff's core argument." Click here for Kevin Sack's article in the NYT.
In a two-hour hearing in Richmond, Va., U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson pressed both sides on the leading issues in the case, which is considered among the most crucial of the 20 or so filed challenges because it is the furthest along of the lawsuits.
Last week, a federal judge in Pensacola, Fla., refused to dismiss a critical part of a challenge brought by 20 states. A week before, however, a federal judge in Detroit upheld the constitutionality of the law. Click here for all LB coverage of the issue.
Virginia, led by its Republican attorney general Ken Cuccinelli (pictured), wants the entire law struck down on the grounds that it violates the Constitution by requiring most Americans to carry health insurance or pay a fee. The Obama administration counters that Congress can levy the fee under its constitutional power to regulate interstate commerce, or under its taxation power.
Judge Hudson's sharp questioning offered some clues as to how he views each side's case. He showed sympathy for the plaintiff's contention that requiring Americans to carry health insurance amounts to regulating "inactivity," and that Congress lacks such a power.
Allowing such power, Judge Hudson said, could open the door for the federal government to require residents to buy a car, join a gym and "eat asparagus," he said. "It's boundless."
Ian Gershengorn, a deputy assistant attorney general arguing for the administration disagree, arguing that almost all Americans end up getting medical care, he said, and requiring them to carry insurance simply regulates the way that care is paid for.
In any event, a secondary important issue came up on Monday, whether the whole law should fall if the judge rules that the requirement violates the Constitution. Virginia contends it should; the federal government holds it shouldn't.
Judge Hudson said figuring out what parts could, and couldn't, stand would be tricky. "The only problem with that argument is that this bill has more moving parts than a Swiss watch," he said.
Judge Hudson said he expected the case would end up at the U.S. Supreme Court.

There is a growing consensus that we need to develop farming and food systems that reduce our reliance on fossil energy. Given the upward trend in both price and worldwide demand for a finite supply of fossil fuel, coupled with concern about global climate change, many farmers would like to use renewable energy in their operations. Heating of greenhouses in Vermont is an area where renewable energy is ripe for application.
Greenhouse use extends the growing season and thus helps meet the rapidly growing demand for local produce, and greenhouse production is on the increase. However, most greenhouses in Vermont rely on fossil fuels for heating. "Greenhouses offer a significant opportunity for greater use of renewable energy on Vermont's farms," says Vern Grubinger, Extension vegetable and berry specialist, "because our greenhouse production is on the increase, as demand for local products increases."
Greenhouse production in Vermont covers 2 million square feet (ft2) and produces $19 million in crops, of which about $4 million are vegetables. Based on recent survey of greenhouse growers, it has been calculated that the state uses approximately 296,000 gallons of propane and 59,000 gallons of fuel oil each year to heat greenhouses. At $2 per gallon for propane and $3 per gallon for fuel oil (as of July 2010), this equates to a cost of $768,000 per year and 2,458 tons CO2 emissions per year, roughly equivalent to 6.2 million automobile miles.
The UVM Extension Greenhouse Biomass Furnace project was developed to help growers reduce their energy expenses while at the same time avoiding greenhouse gas emissions. The goal of the project is to help Vermont's greenhouse vegetable growers adopt clean burning bio-mass furnaces, as an alternative to fossil fuels or outdoor wood-fired burners that can cause pollution. The project provides financial cost-share on the purchase of biomass systems, and technical assistance from UVM's vegetable and berry specialist, Vern Grubinger, as well as Chris Callahan of Callahan Engineering. Funding for this project comes from the High Meadows Fund of the Vermont Community Foundation, UVM Extension, Renewable Energy for Agriculture program grants to farmers, and direct farmer investment.
From 2008-2010, 14 growers received cost-share funds for installation of greenhouse biomass heating systems. These heating systems have now been operated for two to three growing seasons by each grower to heat a total of 39,281 ft2 (average of 2,806 ft2 per farm). The average fuel cost savings per farm is $2,589 per year and about $36,242 total for the farmers included in this demonstration group. This results in a simple payback period for the biomass heating systems of 3.4 years (2.4 years when crediting the cost-shared portion).
Records of fuel use by the growers from 2008-2010 indicate a total of 5.2 trillion BTU of energy being provided to these greenhouses from biomass sources as a result of these installations (equivalent to 56,592 gallons of propane), with a typical annual biomass energy use of 2.5 trillion BTU (approximately 27,087 gallons of propane equivalent). The growers in this project pay an average of $13.34 per million BTU for their fuels (compared to $21.70 per million BTU for $3.00/gal fuel oil or $2.00/gal propane).
The net carbon dioxide emissions avoided by this substitution of fuel is estimated to be 110 cumulative tons at an average, normalized annual avoidance rate of 5.8 lbs CO2/ft2/yr (taking into account the greenhouse area heated). This latter figure allows for an estimate of the total carbon dioxide avoidance possible in Vermont. If the portion of the Vermont's two 2 million square feet of greenhouse growing area heated by fuel oil or propane (35%) were to be heated by renewable biomass sources, approximately 2,016 tons of CO2 emissions would be avoided each year. This is approximately equal to 5.1 million automobile passenger miles (about 515 vehicles at 10,000 miles per vehicle per year).

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Anneli Carter-Sundqvist
portable sawmill, Wood Mizer, self-reliance, Anneli Carter-Sundqvist
A few years ago a major piece of our homesteading puzzle fell in place; we bought a Wood Mizer portable sawmill. Up to that point we'd been, as most people, dependent on the lumber yard and it's supply, as well as friends and acquaintances with occasional stacks of lumber for us to rifle through or logs to mill somewhere else. We don't have any heavy equipment to transport logs with so anything cut on our land had to be moved, by someone else, first to a mill, then back here.
Now, on every first day of a new building project, we start where all building projects ought to start; in the woods. That tree and that tree for the frame, those for the walls, those for the roof. We fell them, haul them with our people powered log hauler and turn them into lumber right here in our yard. Last year we built a timber framed hut from a red oak that started to shade the garden; that entire frame didn't travel more than 300 ft, from the stomp to the mill to the site.
But, not all logs have to come to our yard either; the mill isn't bigger or heavier than it can be loaded onto our trailer and hauled behind our Subaru. This week we have the mill set up a couple of miles down the road at a friends place. He's a tree feller and have stacked up a pile of cedar, black locust and spruce, real nice red spruce that's all ours as a trade for milling the hardwood for him. We get the perfect lumber for our next project, interior work in the hostel building, and he gets the perfect match lumber for the sauna he'll build at his place.
Of course we bought the mill to provide our own building material and to make use of the trees that need to come down around our yard, but the byproducts we get have turned out to be just as valuable to us as the lumber. For one thing, the sawmill gives us slabs, the off cuts that have the bark on one side. Tons of slabs and for anyone cooking on a small wood stove, there's nothing better to get your tea water boiling with than some dry spruce slabs. We get enough for ourselves, and more. So we give slabs to neighbors and friends and in return we get something else. Like warm spaces to start tomato seedlings in, help to look after our chickens if we go away somewhere or just the general feeling of giving and getting.
Then it's the sawdust. It might sound timid, compared to the $1000 pieces of locust we cut this morning, but I don't know what we'd do without the sawdust the mill gets us. I don't know what we did before we had the mill; we use sawdust in our outhouses, to pack the root crops in for storage, in our chicken house. We go through perhaps 60 feed sacks every year, a resource we'd have to go somewhere to get if it wasn't for our mill. So to say the sawmill is a piece in the homestead puzzle might be a slight understatement. In some ways, it's a key factor. It enable us to progress with our building projects without necessarily having the money it would take, it ties us to our community in a good way, both with labor trade and resource trade and it makes it easier for us to store food, have nice outhouses for the hostel guests and keep livestock. Some of the essence of homesteading, right there. To provide for yourself and your community using your own resources while making the most of all what's around you. Who would ever have thought, a Wood Mizer machine would to the trick?

Recruiters presents a list of the top senior quarterback prospects in western Pennsylvania,
in no particular order.
These players are considered the top players in western PA according to Sports Recruiters and college coaches across the country.
For more Sports Recruiters news click here.
Tommy Woodson – Quarterback- 6'0'', 200 – Gateway S.H.S.
Tommy issued a verbal declaration to Arizona in June. A true dual-threat, Woodson likes to use his arm to win games, but he can run by most high school defenders as a runner or a scrambler. He demonstrates the ability to extend plays which makes him a rare prospect.Damion Terry – Quarterback – 6'4'', 210 - Cathedral Preparatory School
Damion issued a verbal declaration to Michigan State in the spring. Terry is rated a four-star recruit by Scout.com. He is a dual-threat quarterback with a marvelous upside and is one of the top two quarterbacks in the state.Matt Bodamer – Quarterback – 6'1'', 175 – Port Allegheny H.S.
Matt was a
finalist for the Class A/AA Mr. PA Football Award and was first team
all-state. Take a quick look at his stats
below. I don't care at what level Matt
plays, those numbers are astounding! He is
definitely a player to keep an eye on this fall. Bodamer totaled sixty-three touchdowns and
had almost 3,800 yards passing and forty-eight touchdowns passing. He is a very accurate passer with a nice
touch and demonstrates great leadership qualities.
Chavas Rawlins – Quarterback – 6'2'', 190 – Monessen S.H.S.Chavas issued a verbal commitment to West Virginia in the spring and is a real talent as a dual-threat quarterback. He is one of the top two quarterbacks in the state along with Terry. Rawlins is rated a three-star prospect by most of the national recruiting news services and held twelve offers before committing to the Mountaineers.
Ed Stockett – Quarterback – 6'4'', 210 - McKeesport Area S.H.S.
Ed issued a verbal declaration to Akron in June and also held an offer from Rutgers. Stockett has great size, good mechanics, and solid arm strength that makes him an intriguing prospect to watch this fall and in college.Mack Leftwich – Quarterback – 5'11'', 180 - North Allegheny H.S. Mack is still garnering interest from colleges at this moment and is a dual-threat quarterback from the western finals, class AAAA PIAA runner-up. Leftwich is an excellent runner and could end up at another position in college, or stay at quarterback if it is the right scheme to utilize his talents.
rankings and ratings included are courtesy of at the national recruiting news
services like Scout.com, Rivals.com, 247 sports.com and ESPN.
Special thanks to the analysts at these
national recruiting web sites. Sports

Episcopalians began meeting in Troy in 1795. St. Paul's was chartered in 1804, when the first church building was erected. Trinity Episcopal Church in New York City provided a grant toward the construction, and St. Paul's became home for many of the entrepreneurs that made Troy an industrial powerhouse.
As the Congregation grew, a larger church was needed, and the present building was constructed in 1827-28. It is a copy of Trinity Church, New Haven, designed by Ithiel Town in the Gothic revival style. The steeple was inspired by the tower of All Saints Cathedral in Darby, England, (1509-27).
By the 1890's, the interior was out of date, and the church building had significant structural difficulties - the walls were not strong enough to support the roof. The Tiffany Company of New York City was hired to correct the structural problems and to completely redecorate the interior in the latest version of the traditional Gothic style.
This redecoration included virtually everything in the church - the trusses and the structural system, woodwork, mosaics, wall treatments, the hymnal boards, even a new acoustical canopy for the pulpit, and, of course, stained glass windows and lamps. As a fully integrated design, it a rare survivor - one of the few by the Tiffany Company. The entire interior, a jewel, may be Tiffany's greatest masterpiece.
St. Paul's Church continues to be a religious home and sanctuary and a contributor to Troy's social environment and welfare.

Roger in his 7th Grand-Slam final
Roger will play unseeded Marcos Baghdatis in the Australian Open final! He overpowered Nicolas Kiefer (GER) 6-3 5-7 6-0 6-2 in the semi-final today.
Roger sealed his win on his fourth match point when Kiefer netted a service return after two hours and 40 minutes on Rod Laver Arena to reach his seventh final in the past 11 grand slams. "We have had many close and tough matches over the last few years," Roger said of Kiefer in a courtside interview. Roger had too much power and shot variety for Kiefer, who was playing in his first grand slam semi-final in 35 attempts.
Roger has never lost a grand slam final and will be seeking his third straight title after winning Wimbledon and the U.S. Open last year, leaving only the French Open to complete a "Roger Slam" of all four major titles in succession! With a victory this Sunday he would be the first player since Pete Sampras, twelve years ago, to make the triple.
Roger beat Baghdatis in straight sets in the fourth round in Melbourne last year before he fell to eventual champion Marat Safin in the semi-finals. The Cypriot has made extraordinary progress through the tournament, toppling second seed Andy Roddick in the fourth round and then seventh seed Ivan Ljubicic in the quarters. Baghdatis, a former world junior champion, then stunned fourth seed David Nalbandian in Thursday's first semi-final, coming from two sets down to win 3-6 5-7 6-3 6-4 6-4.
"I'm looking forward to it. What a great effort by Marcos," Roger said.
One Giant step and you're in the winners circle. Stay patient, mentally focused and WIN...WIN...WIN. Keep Tony smiling.
Your favorite and MOST SENIOR fan in NJ
I feel like that real Roger Federer has come back!
I think there's no problem for you to win the champion if only you don't make so many unforced mistakes as you did when you played against Davydenko and Haas~
You shine on Centre Court...!
keep your calm and shut out the
"Ra-Ra band of Greek surporters" on Sunday,
just concentrate on your own play and brilliance; then you show them how it's done! You give Marcos a goo
It was awesome to watch Baghda
Go on and win that Grand Slam. It's so yours!
Go Go Roger!

AUGUSTA---It's moving day at Augusta National, as Round Three is now complete. Could the players possibly top that wild and crazy Friday? Of course.
Probably the biggest question starting the day was whether 21-year-old Rory McIlroy hold off the challenge of Tiger Woods and company. And could Phil Mickelson mount a challenge?
"Things weren't going that well for me," McIlroy said. "+1 through 12 holes. And then played the last six holes in -3, it was great, and yeah, that was the key thing for me. Just really, stay on pitch."
McIlroy is still the leader going into Sunday, at -12 overall.
"I'm happy with how I played today," said Charl Schwartzel, who finished at -4 today, with -9 overall. "I thought I stuck in there really well."
"I took advantage of what I had," said Angel Cabrera through an interpreter. "I hit the ball very well also today, but I took advantage. Maybe the other days I hit it good and didn't take advantage as I did today."
While a lot of the leaders didn't change much during the third round, it's a different story for those hovering around -2 or -3.
Bo Van Pelt and Adam Scott made solid strides to put themselves into contention. Phil Mickelson, on the other hand, never got the putter working and knows he has his work cut out for him tomorrow.
"Like I thought that this was going to be an easy week given that I knew the greens so well and I putted them so well in the past, and I felt so good with the putter that I thought I was going to have a really great putting week, but it hasn't turned out that way. I haven't read them right, my speed hasn't been quite on." Phil finished at -1 today, -3 overall.
"I just struggled for my rhythm the first couple days," said Adam Scott, who finished at -6 today, -7 overall. "But today on the range it kind of all fell into place. I was feeling really good, hitting nice shots, and got off to a good start."
"It's gratifying to hit good shots in a big-time tournament like this," Van Pelt said. He finished at -4 today, -6 overall. "I've done it pretty well the first two days, and to do it again today just, you know, that's the gratifying part."
According to the old adage, the tournament doesn't really start until Sunday afternoon on the back 9. Lee Westwood found that out firsthand. Remember, he had a four shot lead, and then in about an hour that had disappeared.
We have a lot of former winners on the board, Angel Cabrera and Tiger Woods are right there, and you have some of the new faces, McIlroy, Jason Day, Charl Schwartzel. How are they going to handle that Sunday pressure?
Rory McIlroy has been third place in a couple of other majors, so he's sort of used to this pressure. Now it's just a matter of closing the deal at what's probably the biggest major there is.

Two recent deaths of interest to public broadcasters: Hyman Goldin, the executive secretary for the Carnegie Commission on Educational Television, which led to the creation of CPB; and Jim Adams, a longtime sports director at WKAR in East Lansing, Mich.
Goldin died Nov. 21 in a rehabilitation center in Beverly, Mass., of complications from a fall several weeks earlier, reports the Boston Globe. He was 99.
"An early advocate for public television," the Globe obituary said, "Hyman Goldin believed the relentless push for profit in commercial TV compromised the quality of shows that are designed to inform."
Adams died Dec. 29 at age 82, according to the station. He was WKAR's sports director from 1961 to 1993. "His career spanned more than 1,500 play-by-play broadcasts," the station noted. "Adams had a well-earned reputation as a tremendous pre-game researcher."

"I did this invitation in strawberry with rounded corners, it was a pretty light pink. They look beautiful, better then what I expected. Had designer inspect card before ordering. Very helpful. Very nice quality."
"We were so pleased with how quickly this shipped and how wonderful they turned out. With any navy/darker design, there is always worry about printing. The color was as rich as can be and we couldn't be more pleased. We also wanted to add where the bride was registered, and the designer made our longer text look like it was part of the design. This invite was used for a February shower, which seemed like a perfect fit. We loved the floral designs from Wedding Paper Divas, and much of them screamed summer/spring. With a May wedding, we wanted a warm weather vibe, but also something appropriate for a winter shower."
"I continue to use Wedding Paper Divas over and over again because of the high quality of their products and absolutely amazing customer service! These invitations turned out great and the bride loved them."
"These turned out great. I was very relieved when the designer tweaked it to fit the brides whole name on the invite. ( It's a doozy! )"

(CHICAGO, IL) – Hines, the international real estate firm, has broken ground on a new 60-story, 1.5 million-square-foot office tower in downtown Chicago at 300 North LaSalle, a prime development site situated on the north bank of the Chicago River. The project is scheduled for completion in early 2009. The anchor tenant is the law firm of Kirkland & Ellis, which has signed a lease for over 600,000 square feet, and will relocate its world headquarters comprised of 1,400 Chicago office employees to 300 North LaSalle from 200 E. Randolph Drive.
"Kirkland & Ellis is excited to be involved in a project that will redefine Chicago's famous skyline," said Kevin R. Evanich, a partner at Kirkland and a member of the firm's Management Committee. "We look forward to seeing this project progress and creating a new world-class home for our firm."
Established in Chicago in 1908, Kirkland & Ellis also has offices in San Francisco, London, Los Angeles, Munich, New York and Washington, D.C.
At 300 North LaSalle, it will occupy 24 floors in the low-rise and mid-rise sections of the building leaving some 400,000 square feet of high-rise space available for additional leasing.With Class A high-rise office space in short supply in the downtown market, 300 North LaSalle is well-positioned to attract additional top-tier professional firms and companies to its tenant roster, according to Greg Van Schaack, a senior vice president at Hines' Chicago regional office. "Design and building systems at 300 North LaSalle also will offer superior planning flexibility and cost efficiencies, which tenants today are increasingly keying on as a good long-term investment."
Designed by the architectural firm Pickard Chilton, internationally recognized for its expertise in the design of corporate andprofessional office buildings, 300 North LaSalle will rise over 800 feet. Its facade will be clad in richly articulated glass and stainless steel, maximizing the introduction of daylight and minimizing solar gain. With 220 linear feet of frontage along the Chicago River, 300 North LaSalle's outdoor plaza will feature a large waterfront café and significant seating areas. Other planned amenities include a three-level, 240-car parking garage, white tablecloth restaurant, fitness center, conference center, bank and sundry shop.
Jon Pickard, AIA, of Pickard Chilton notes, "Our design for 300 NorthLaSalle acknowledges the great tradition of the Chicago skyscraper while redefining it for the 21st century.
It will be an elegant and sophisticated building, an appropriate headquarters for Kirkland & Ellis, a firm deeply rooted in Chicago history."
The 300 North LaSalle development is the first downtown Chicago assignment for Pickard Chilton, which currently has projects in progress in Houston, Montreal, Shanghai and Kuala Lampur, Malaysia.
Recently completed projects include 1180 Peachtree, the world headquarters for King & Spalding, in Atlanta for Hines, and the CalPERS headquarters complex in Sacramento. Prior tofounding Pickard Chilton, Jon Pickard was Senior Associate with Cesar Pelli & Associates and collaborated with Mr. Pelli on landmark projects including the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lampur.
Hines also announced that it has achieved LEED-CS Gold pre-certification for 300 North LaSalle from the U.S. Green Building Council, which establishes the building as a major sustainable design development.
Hines' most recent Chicago office development, One South Dearborn, was certified LEED-CS Silver for its green design features.
Kirkland & Ellis, which represents global clients incomplexrestructuring, corporate, litigation and intellectual property, signed on as the anchor tenant for 300 North LaSalle in 2005. It was represented in the strategic planning and site selection process by a team comprised of Steve Stratton and Jock Howland of The Staubach Company; the architectural firm of Skidmore Owings & Merrill; and The Rise Group, Chicago.

Sen. Grassley Blasts Psychiatrist for Failure to Disclose Industry Funding
Karen Wagner, a child psychiatrist at the University of Texas Medical Branch, is the latest academic psychiatrist to be criticized by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for failing to fully disclose drug industry ties.
Grassley said in a letter that Wagner didn't disclose more than $150,000 in consulting and speaking fees she received from GlaxoSmithKline in recent years, the WSJ reports. Wagner worked on an NIH study of the treatment of teenage depression that included Glaxo's antidepressant Paxil. Wagner didn't respond to the WSJ's requests for comment. The university said it would look into the alleged discrepancies.
Grassley has been on a tear, criticizing other researchers and their universities:
Joseph Biederman, a psychiatrist at Harvard and Massachusetts General, who allegedly failed to disclose much of the more than $1.6 million in payments he received from companies including Johnson & Johnson and Eli Lilly.
Alan Schatzberg, a Stanford psychiatrist, whose stake in a drug company Corcept Therapeutics may have been was worth $6 million, a figure so far above the "greater than $100,000″ category on Stanford's disclosure forms that the senator questioned the university's ability to assess his potential conflicts.
Melissa DelBello, a University of Cincinnati psychiatrist, who allegedly failed to disclose payments from AstraZeneca, maker of antipsychotic Seroquel. DelBello had studied the drug and recommended it for use in kids.
Grassley is leaning on NIH to get tougher with the researchers and universities receiving government grants. "Starting today, the NIH could send a signal that business as usual is over," Grassley said. "The simple threat of losing prestigious and sizable NIH grants would force accurate financial disclosure."

Inch of Dark turn Chapter No. 1
INCH OF DARK – "Chapter No. 1"
Musical Genera: Alternative Rock, Hard Rock
URL – http://www.inchofdark.com/
North Texas based alt-metal band Inch of Dark just released their 4 song EP entitled "Chapter no. 1" Band members include: Jerome Chwalek (Lead Vocals/Lead Guitar), Chad MacKenzie (Rhythm Guitar), Garret Parvin (Bass/Back-up Vocals), Ryan Horn (Drums).
Now getting to the EP: "Chapter no. 1" is their latest release to date and t has much to commend it. Admittedly, there is a whole lot of variety to these arrangements and performances. First: The impressive 4 piece band delivers rock solid playing like a well oiled machine. This is testament to hundreds of hours of rehearsal time no doubt. Second: Chwalek's voice hits the mark remarkably well within the context of this full throttle catalogue. Third: their overall sound and amazing songwriting touch is action packed. All songs are a skillful combination of Alternative Rock and Hard Rock. Music will remind you of Jon Foreman, Kutess, Hawk Nelson and Falling Up. I can also hear Disturbed and Alice in Chains. Inch of Dark have the power and songwriting prowess to be extremely dangerous but there's also a unique quality to this catalogue that breaks the mold when compared to the overly predictable, forgetful rock that's been filling the airwaves lately. What am I trying to say – well let me start by saying there is nothing predictable and forgetful about Inch of Dark. Weather live or in the studio Inch of Dark is one of the hottest hard rock bands I've heard in quite some time. I will add not every square inch is filled with musical ambience delivered under duress – but musical space this allows the music to breathe on its own with passion and lyrics that cannot be faked. "Chapter no. 1" covers so much ground and despite this it manages to not spread itself to thin across the sonic space – nicely done! This is harder to do than it sounds and can only be a by product of being ones self musically.
Top Track: Failure
I've always said if you can play it a party, then it's marketable. The music is extremely marketable – with a raw sound and passionate yet entertaining punch – no doubt very much like the band itself. This 30+ minute experience will genuinely rock your world, shake the tree and leave you high and dry wanting more.
Rating 8/10
