Par-3 Golf - The Lighter Side of the Game
Golf snobs may want to turn away, or better yet close their eyes. This column is about the lighter side of golf, one that many purists just don't want to hear about or care to embrace.

I, too, was a golf snob once, belonging to a private country club, paying for a USGA handicap, wearing the latest and greatest Greg Norman-collared apparel, counting every single stroke, and yes, taking the game seriously enough to curse or flip a club or two over what I deemed as bad shots.
Don't get me wrong, the country club buffet was to die for and the course conditions - all 54 holes - were for the most part immaculate. It's just that my life path changed and with it my golfing habits.
Come to find out I'm like a lot of my 51-year-old buddies. I love the game, but golf has gotten expensive, time-consuming (especially on weekends) while family and job commitments always seem to have me running in 10 different directions - none of which are necessarily pointed toward the first tee Sunday morning.
I'm athletic so can still hold my own (I guess I'm around a 9 handicap) when I do get an opportunity to play once or so a month. But I would be lying if I don't wonder if my swing will be there when I step up to hit that first drive or pull out the 60-degree wedge from a tight lie.
And then there is my lovely fiancée Lisa, who a few years ago asked if she could tag along on some of my golf trips, and "play a few holes." As Lisa had never picked up a club before, I was given the task of trying to teach her a golf swing, along with the game's proper etiquette. We soon found ourselves rushing on the links - not racking bunkers, not replacing divots, not fixing ball marks - so we wouldn't hold up other "real" golfers, and soon Lisa was playing just one or two holes and riding around in the cart, not playing golf.
Well, what fun is that? Yes, that's correct - fun. You do remember that golf is, among other things, supposed to be FUN.
The intimidation factor had set in. I wondered if I had lost her forever. However, I recently heard a fact that caught my ear. A local 27-hole par-3 course, equipped with lights, was logging 100,000 rounds. What?
As a middle-aged golfer with a single-digit handicap, most of my par-3 golf was logged as a teenager on what we would now term "cow pastures." You know the courses (and I use that term lightly), the ones where you can't tell the difference between the fairway grass and the greens, if anything was green at all.
Man, have times changed. Knight's Play in my hometown of Apex, N.C., not only has good bentgrass greens and its share of challenging bunkers, but nine of the 27 holes have water in play.

It's real golf. Well, sort of.
Kevin Jones, too, was sort of a golf snob, an assistant pro at ritzy Carolina Country Club inside the Raleigh beltline, watching U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson develop as a kid, when he was given the opportunity to become the head man at Knight's Play in 1998.
"I really didn't know what to expect," Jones said. "It was an instant explosion and we were very busy right off the bat. We quickly had to get more carts, and we said, 'OK, we're going to need rangers and more range balls.'
"To go from a high-end private to here, where kind of everything goes, was honestly quite a change," added Jones. "We get them out here in the summer and sometimes we just hope they keep their clothes on half the time. People ask us if we have a dress code and I'll say, 'Well . . . yeah, sort of.' We're not going to turn someone away who comes to the counter in a tank top but we'll encourage them the next time to at least put on a T-shirt."
Welcome to the other side of golf.
Coming up on 15 successful seasons, Jones is well-adjusted and embraces the role Knight's Play has in the pecking order of the game. "It is what it is, and people are coming here to learn the game, and honestly, they don't know any better sometimes," Jones said. "I have to tell the rangers to be careful not to scold them; they have to instruct them. If you hurt their feelings or insult them they aren't going to come back or may not ever play golf again."
If Knight's Play is "real" golf on the par-3 level, IronPlay Links in Summerfield, outside of Greensboro, takes the condensed course theme to a different level.
One of the Short Tests at IronPlay
IronPlay was designed five years ago by architect Kris Spence, who has built quite a reputation across the Southeast for restoring Donald Ross designs. It was the dream of the owners of IronPlay, who grew up on a Greensboro par-3 that was plowed under for development, to build such a course. So the brothers approached Spence to model their new par-3 course after a Ross design. Spence was so intrigued by the idea that he donated his design fee to build the now-successful facility.
"I tried to lay it out very naturally on the ground, just like Ross would have," Spence said. "Ross would put the five stakes in the ground and look at the natural elevation and add three feet here and two feet there and tie into the grade over there. We started doing the greens that way. It was really eye-opening, how efficient that was in building the greens. Some of those greens look like they are straight out of the 1920s. It was cool and very beneficial to me in the long run to see why some of the Ross courses and greens look the way they do with all the twists and turns."
It turns out more and more legitimate golfers are fine-tuning their games at places like Knight's Play or IronPlay. "I run across some of the more talented high school kids in the area and I'll mention to them that I designed IronPlay and they go off about how much they enjoy it and how fun it is, that they go out there and practice on their game because everything is so realistic," Spence said. "People say the greens are better than the country club."
Knight's Play logged 100,000 rounds for several years when "everything Tiger did was magical," Jones said. Still, the facility saw an estimated 80,000 rounds in 2011, with 18 holes on Mondays until 5 p.m. and Ladies Day Thursday's costing just $6 to walk.

"During that Tiger run it was like 'Field of Dreams,' remember the movie with all the headlights," Jones said. "On a Sunday night right after Tiger won a tournament if I hadn't seen it I wouldn't have believed it, the cars were coming in so quickly, it was like one of those fast-forward videos. The range would have 20 people on it and then all of the sudden it would be full and we would have people waiting on benches. It was like hit a bucket and then go play nine, one right after the other. It was crazy."
While those par-3 courses in the Triangle and Triad are worth checking out, the mountains of North Carolina boast some of the best executive golf courses in the country.
Atop that list is the par-59 Mountain Springs Course at Grandfather Golf & Country Club in Linville. While this course is very private, it provides its members with some of the same values as Knight's Play and IronPlay.
The Mountain Springs Course was designed by Ellis Maples in the 1970s to provide members of the exclusive club with an "easier" test of golf and a less physically demanding 18 holes. All par-4s are less than 290 yards. Now, it is an opportunity for children and grandchildren of the membership to embrace the game, while giving seniors a chance to score.
Harris Prevost, who has worked in marketing and public relations at Grandfather for 40 years, plays the executive course as often or more than the championship venue.
"For people who don't hit the ball very far they can reach the greens and they have a chance to make a par. That enjoyment of the game is there for them," said Prevost, who played college golf at the University of North Carolina in the mid-1960s and still shoots in the 70s. "For me, it's going out there and working on my game and just enjoying it, and I can do it pretty quickly. I can play nine holes in an hour."
Back in Apex, Jones builds relationships, and often sees them fade. But in a strange sort of way, that's a major compliment to the head pro.
"I guess you can say they graduate from here," Jones said. "You'll see them as beginners, hitting balls or taking lessons, and then they start playing here and then all of the sudden you don't see them for a while. They will come back one night to hit balls and I'll say, 'Hey man, where have you been, I haven't seen you in a couple of months?'
"It is because they have been playing regular golf courses and they realize they can do it now," added Jones. "Knight's Play was great for them because it didn't cost as much and it wasn't as intimidating, they didn't feel that pressure of always looking over their shoulder, holding up a group. It is kids, moms, seniors . . . you name it."
One of the best endorsements of par-3 golf may have come from none other than Mike Davis, the executive director of the USGA. I asked Davis recently about his views on golf's "condensed version."
"The USGA would view par-3 or executive courses as a way for people to come out and have fun, and if they are a new golfer it may actually entice them to say, 'Hey, I really like this and let me go out on the big course.' We see it as a wonderful thing."
OK, time to open your eyes now.

We developed mice with germline endogenous expression of oncogenic Hras to study effects on development and mechanisms of tumor initiation. They had high perinatal mortality, abnormal cranial dimensions, defective dental ameloblasts, and nasal septal deviation, consistent with some of the features of human Costello syndrome. These mice developed papillomas and angiosarcomas, which were associated with Hras(G12V) allelic imbalance and augmented Hras signaling. Endogenous expression of Hras(G12V) was also associated with a higher mutation rate in vivo. Tumor initiation by Hras(G12V) likely requires augmentation of signal output, which in papillomas and angiosarcomas is achieved via increased Hras-gene copy number, which may be favored by a higher mutation frequency in cells expressing the oncoprotein.

Experts say there should be little impact this year from a chile-damaging virus.
New Mexico State University professors announced this week that although the danger of curly top virus is higher than last year, it's still in the low percentage range.
Rebecca Creamer, professor of plant virology, says most chile growers won't have major problems because the region didn't have large amounts of fall rains.
Curly top virus is transmitted from the tiny beet leafhopper insect, which feeds on weeds and certain crop plants such as chile and tomato, passing the disease from weeds to crops.
The virus is a prevalent problem in arid regions such as California, New Mexico, Arizona, Washington State and other places around the world including Mexico and Iran.

France Unexpectedly Avoids GDP Contraction
France's economy unexpectedly avoided its first quarterly contraction in more than three years as both companies and government increased spending.
Gross domestic product was unchanged in the second quarter from the first, national statistics office Insee in Paris said today in an e-mailed statement. Economists forecast a 0.1 percent decline, according to the median of 26 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey. GDP rose 0.3 percent from a year earlier.
The figures offer some respite to President Francois Hollande as he seeks to cut France's budget deficit in the face of recessions in neighboring Italy and Spain. France's three-year economic expansion has set it apart from its southern neighbors, where Europe's sovereign debt crisis has driven up borrowing costs. In Germany, GDP rose 0.3 percent in the second quarter from the first, a report showed today.
"Investment by non-financial corporations is recovering after having dropped at the beginning of the year," Insee said. "In the public sector, investment is rising, returning to normal after being hurt by harsh weather in the first quarter."
Gross fixed capital formation rose 0.6 percent in the second quarter from the first, when it dropped 0.8 percent, today's data showed. Public sector expenditure advanced 0.5 percent and exports increased 0.2 percent from the previous three months. Imports jumped 1.8 percent in the second quarter.
French household spending fell 0.2 percent in the second quarter from the first, when it advanced 0.2 percent.
"Consumer spending fell back slightly," Insee said. "This is notably about a decline in purchases of textiles and leather goods, though spending on services also declined, mainly on housing and restaurants."

Rhizophora mangle occurs worldwide in coastal and estuarine areas of the tropics and subtropics to about 28° in both the northern and southern hemispheres. In the Indian River Lagoon, red mangroves are common landscape features to approximately 28° North, around the vicinity of Merritt Island. North of this location is the transition zone where mangrove forests gradually give way to salt marshes. Frost stress north of the transition zone prevents red mangroves from becoming established.

A random encounter between two American expatriates in a remote bar in Mexico led to a musical meeting of the minds.
Nicklaus Schoeppel and James Arthur Bayer III both happened to be tossing back shots in Xalapa, the capital city of Veracruz, when they first bumped into each other.
Bayer was knocking around Mexico after dropping out of college. Schoeppel was hitchhiking across the country.
"It was one of those incredibly fateful moments that has marked this band since we started," Bayer said.
"We obviously recognized each other as probably not from around there," he said. "We started talking about the end of the world and rock 'n' roll and decided over a lot of tequila that we'd start the greatest rock 'n' roll band of all time, and we decided for some reason to do it in Jacksonville (Fla.)"
That band, after one previous incarnation and several miles on the road, is The Memphibians, which makes its Amarillo debut Wednesday at The 806, 2812 S.W. Sixth Ave.
The band's name comes from another late-night conversation when the duo's previous band made a stop in Memphis and one of the two — there's disagreement about which one, precisely — suggested "Memphibians" would be a great band name.
"It doesn't steer you in any direction about what to expect," Bayer said.
So what should an audience expect?
"Definitely a lot of energy," Bayer said. "We have a really unique sound."
They come by that naturally.
"We have the fortunate and unfortunate luck of not really coming from musical backgrounds," Bayer said. "I mean, I've always been a huge fan of music ... but when it comes to playing music, I can't really play a blues song."
The result, he said, is "just a lot of energy. It's crazy, and it's usually loud. We're good at masking our inability to play with volume."
That's not to say no one in the band is musically trained, just its two founders.
Also in the lineup is horn player Kathleen D'Elia and percussionist Jordan "Jojo" Terrell.
"(D'Elia) helps keep us in line when we're writing music," Bayer said. "She says, 'You're way out of line there, you're definitely not doing what's logical.' ... It's a good push and pull."

Written by Andrew Aziz of Everything-Colts.com
The Colts have 22 free agents this offseason, and many of them are quite important. Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, Jeff Saturday and Ryan Diem highlight the list. This is what the Colts should do with them. I have seperated the free agents into 3 groups: Top Tier, Middle Tier, Bottom Tier. And without further ado, here's the breakdown:
Top Tier
Reggie Wayne — 2011-2012 Salary:
Reggie Wayne is one of the best receivers in the NFL today and one of the best in the history of the Colts. He is Peyton Manning's favorite target and has been for a while now. He made 6.2M dollars this year. He is an important morale and role model on the team, but if they decide to retain Pierre Garcon, his resigning is not really a must. Reggie Wayne has great hands, is a great route runner and is still producing great numbers.
Pierre Garcon — 2011-2012 Salary:
Pierre Garcon is a young deep threat kid who really improved last year. He was arguably the best receiver on the team and he's getting more consistent. He put up 950 yards and 6 TDs with a bunch of below average QBs, so imagine what he could do with Manning or Luck. Going forward he's better than Reggie Wayne, but he's going to ask for a lot of money. Last year, he only made 572K, which is literally nothing. He may ask for 5M dollars more which with the Colts' cap space is a lot, maybe too much. Retaining him may be tough.
Jeff Saturday — 2011-2012 Salary:
Jeff Saturday is one of the elite centers in the league and even without Peyton Manning he still had a good year. He's getting old at 36 years old. The Colts really have no other centers besides Mike Pollak, but he's a free agent too. This signing is pretty important. He made 4.8M last year.
Ryan Diem — 2011-2012 Salary:
Ryan Diem has been a good memeber of the Colts for the last 11 years now, but as of late he's been a bit inconsistent. He's the current right guard and the Colts may need to keep him as they really have no depth at the guard spot. Last year, he made 2.5M dollars.
Middle Tier
Jamaal Anderson — 2011-2012 Salary:
Jamaal Anderson was a nice addition to the Colts. He had 3 sacks and was a good part of the rotation. He was good on early downs as he got to quarterbacks and he was pretty good against the run. Would like to see him back.
Eric Foster — 2011-2012 Salary:
A nasty ankle injury ended his season early. If the Colts are switching to a 3-4, he really has no use as he's too small to play a 3-4 DE, and too slow to play 3-4 OLB. He's in a crossroads, so his return is no evident.
Jacob Lacey — 2011-2012 Salary:
Jacob Lacey really turned the corner late in the season. He's becoming better and better and with the probable addition of a cornerback during the offseason, it looks like he may move to nickelback which is a good position for him. Kid has potential.
Ernie Sims — 2011-2012 Salary:
A nice addition to the Colts as he tackled well and covered well. He came in and did a great job when Phillip Wheeler was injured. He had a nice impact in both Titans games.
Jacob Tamme — 2011-2012 Salary:
A kid with tons of potential. He was the most productive tight end in the 2nd half of the 2010-2011 season, and had some nice games in 2011 replacing Dallas Clark. He is a good young tight end with good upside and the Colts would be foolish to release him.
Philip Wheeler — 2011-2012 Salary:
A player who keeps developing and developing. He had a nice year this season replacing Pat Angerer who moved over to replace Gary Brackett. Wheeler did a nice job tackling, something that hurt him in the past and his coverage skills got a little better. A good backup who we know could come in and do a nice job.
Bottom Tier
Kevin Bentley — 2011-2012 Salary:
A depth player who is a special teamer. Not very important to keep.
Tyler Brayton — 2011-2012 Salary:
A good hybrid defensive lineman. A nice addition to the team as he got to the quarterback and stopped the run.
Stevie Brown — 2011-2012 Salary:
A depth player who is a special teamer. Good depth going forward.
David Caldwell — 2011-2012 Salary:
A pretty good young kid who is a nice backup. Not bad covering this year, but he needs to work on his hands.
Jerome Felton — 2011-2012 Salary:
A good fullback who did a nice job blocking in the latter part of the season. If the Colts need a fullback, look no further.
Anthony Gonzalez — 2011-2012 Salary:
A still relatively young player who was used as depth this year. He had a good rookie year, and injuries has killed his career in the last 2 years. He still has some use on the team, and could be used if some of the big Colts wide receivers don't come back.
Anthony Hill — 2011-2012 Salary:
Backup tight end used really for depth and special teams. Not really that important.
Quinn Ojinnaka — 2011-2012 Salary:
A good hybrid offensive lineman who can play both guard and tackle. He did a good job at right tackle while the Colts were short on them. He could be very usefull in the future as a depth player and a backup.
MIke Pollak — 2011-2012 Salary:
A relatively important kid to keep going forward. He can play both center and guard. He played center in college and was a very good one, one of the best in his class. With Jeff Saturday close to retirement, the Colts may need to keep him as he's one of the only player who has experience playing center. He also provides good depth and when he came in at right guard, he did well.
Jamey Richard — 2011-2012 Salary:
Richard is the other guy who has played center before, but he's pretty useless. Hasn't played at all lately, and is purely a depth player. He's not important.

Peter Kellner: Why do the polls in Scotland vary so much?
COMMENT: YouGov president Peter Kellner takes an in-depth look at the reasons behind the varying results of opinion polls by the country's main pollsters.
Kellner's comments come after a YouGov poll for The Times showed a drop in support for a 'Yes' vote in September's referendum.
YouGov's latest survey, for The Times, shows that a large majority of Scots intend to reject independence in the referendum on September 18. Among those who take sides, 39% intend voting Yes and 61% No. TNS and Ipsos MORI have recorded similarly decisive verdicts in recent weeks.
However, ICM (45% Yes, 55% No), Survation (47%-53%) and Panelbase (48%-52%) say the race is much closer. What is going on?

Jason William Johnson, 29, is set to be arraigned today in Clackamas County Circuit Court on charges of first-degree burglary, first-degree theft, being an ex-convict in possession of a firearm and causing a hit-and-run accident. He is being held in the Clackamas County Jail, with bail set at $87,500.
Ronda Stone, a Molalla Police Department spokeswoman, said a man who lives in the 700 block of Shirley Street had just returned from shooting around 7:50 p.m. Friday, when he noticed two or three men were making off with two rifles and a shotgun he had left out in his garage. The victim then jumped in his pickup and chased the men around town.
"The victim forgot to bring his cellphone," Stone. "So, he didn't call police. But we got calls after the crash."East Fifth and Hood streets, totaling both cars. The victim then pulled his pickup up close so the driver couldn't open his door, but the men escaped and ran off.
Police then searched a five-block area with the help of a dog-and-handler team from the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. About an hour later, they arrested Johnson and booked him into the jail. The two rifles and the shotgun were found locked in the trunk of the getaway car.
Stone said police still are investigating other possible suspects in the case.
She said police have not established a link between the incident and a recent rash of car break-ins, but that detectives have not ruled out the possibility that they may be related.

What happens to earnest money if all closing cost were paid by seller?
Answer: The earnest money would normally be applied to the purchase price. If your mortgage covers that completely, and the seller pays all the closing costs, you wouldn't owe anything at closing and would get it back.
The buyer gets all of the earnest money back! I'm happy to say that this is exactly what happened to me when I bought my condo.

Antigovernment protests in Bangkok turned violent again this weekend — on Friday, a grenade bomb killed one protestor and injured 35 others, on Saturday another protestor was killed, and today at least 28 bystanders were wounded by two twin bombs that exploded near a protest site.
The Thai government says the protestors are trying to push the violence to force a coup. But the protestors — pictured below on Friday before the grenade attack — say the government is corrupt, abusive of power, and needs reform.
Kinja user Nomadikat was there and spoke with the protestors on the ground.

'Little Black Moustache' plays today at Blasco Library
Theatre on the Move is eager to serve up a summer comedy to patrons of the Erie County Public Library and PACA. The troupe's "That Little Black Moustache," featuring Jerry Brace, Jen Highfill, Cindy Willis and Christine Pawlowski, is written and directed by Dorothy Kaliszewski, who shared her thoughts on the show and the group.
What's it about?
It's an original comedy melodrama. It's about an acting troupe, three actors and a director, performing a show. Things kind of go out of control when the prop mustaches are discovered to have unusual properties that change their personalities.
What inspired it?
We were considering some shows which would be kind of nice, fun summer shows, and we always like to do something interactive. One of my actors suggested the melodrama was a good way to bring in that actor-audience relationship, and I thought that was a fun idea. I was thinking of existing melodramas, but then this idea came up. When you're starting a theater group, you have experiences of how chaotic it can be and how things can happen unexpectedly, and that inspired the concept a little bit.
What sources do you draw from?
There's actually quite a lot that's drawn from old movies. There's one character who pretty much thinks he's Marlon Brando, which adds a lot of comedy. There's a lot of slapstick, a lot of melodrama, a lot of puns. We play around with acting styles, naturalistic acting versus melodramatic acting, poking fun at both of those along the way.
How do you get the audience involved?
I like to think of the Groucho Marx movies. Sometimes there's a lot of people, and even though they're in the cast, you get the feeling that they are just drawn into these wacky situations. We're able to do some of that, too, by designating certain people to be in these situations and adapt to them.
What have you learned since starting Theatre on the Move?
The more that I do this, the more I am drawn to the idea that you can do a piece of theater that will appeal to a 5-year-old, a professional person, a senior, on different levels. You can actually do that, and I love that.

Paper One examines how numeracy and the ability to count was a test of an individual's competency to manage their inheritance during the medieval period. Paper Two looks at how counterfeit coiners were treated by the public and how they crafted their testimony in court during the late seventeenth century.
Particular interest in currency/numeracy in Victorian or modern Britain, or the British Atlantic World, but would be interested in any potential panellists.

Hyundai Heavy Industries has won a US$ 600 million order to build two 155,000 m3 LNG carriers, including an option for another same class vessel, from Greece-based Dynagas Ltd.
These membrane-type LNG carriers are due for delivery in the second half of 2013. They will feature the Dual Fuel Diesel Engine System, which allows the ship to run on oil fuel or natural gas. Due to tightening global regulations on carbon emissions, increasing demand for LNG as an alternative energy source after Japanese nuclear crisis, and price competitiveness of LNG in comparison with oil prices, Hyundai Heavy expects to see more LNG carrier orders in the future.
Winning this order brings Hyundai Heavy's total new orders in shipbuilding and offshore & engineering divisions so far this year to 42 ships worth of US$ 10.5 billion, or 53% of the new order target of US$ 19.8 billion.
The company has also won a US$ 1.12 billion contract for two drillships for Rowan Companies Inc. on May 31. This contract also includes an option exercisable by Rowan to order an additional same class drillship.
The vessels, measuring 229 m in length and 36 m in width, are rated for operations in water 12,000 ft (3657 m) deep. They are scheduled to be delivered by the second half of 2013.
Winning this order brings Hyundai Heavy's total drillship new orders this year to nine, worth US$ 5 billion with options to build three more drillships. This is the most drillships of any shipbuilder in the world.

State transportation bill talks said to gain steam
October 19, 2013
HARRISBURG (AP) — A key state House Republican negotiator said Friday he was optimistic about the chances that the chamber will pass a plan to fund billions in improvements to Pennsylvania's......
"House Republicans also favored a plan to privatize the state liquor store system - another of Corbett's priorities - but it has remained in the Senate since being sent there in March."
I surely would like to think state liquor-store privatization isn't some kind of "rider" (to the transportation bill).

THE cloak of secrecy concealing the government's R1.2bn plan to develop a spy satellite secretly in collaboration with Russia is being slowly lifted, with the latest revelation by the auditor-general being that the state was faced with a potential claim of R116m in 2006-07 arising out of the contract.
According to Democratic Alliance (DA) spokesman on defence David Maynier, the spy satellite was commissioned by defence intelligence from Russian company NPO Mashinostroyeni in 2006 for R1.2bn. The project was called Project Flute and later renamed Consolidated Project Flute.
Mr Maynier said on Sunday that the commissioned Kondor-E (E1) radar imaging satellite would reportedly be launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on February 27.
Nothing is yet known regarding if and how the R116m claim was settled and whether the project is going ahead. The Department of Defence has refused to answer questions about the project on the grounds of national security, and has insisted that all money handled by the department was audited and accounted for.
But Mr Maynier is determined to get to the bottom of why South Africa commissioned a Russian company to develop a reconnaissance satellite over which it would have no control. He also wants to know what are the implications of this for the privacy of South African citizens.
He said on Sunday that auditor-general Kimi Makwetu had given him a copy of the auditor-general's report on the special defence account (SDA) which refers to the R115.9m as a contingent liability "for a potential claim against the state by a foreign company as a result of the withdrawal of the approval for the sensitive project by the minister".
"This could result in the claim against the SDA being considered as irregular expenditure. The matter is now being pursued at inter-state level by the minister," the auditor-general noted. He said the contingent liability meant there was "significant uncertainty" with regard to the financial statements.
Mr Maynier submitted the request last month for access to records in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act.
In a letter dated January 14 2008, the Russians raised their dissatisfaction with South Africa's failure to make payments under the contract. They claimed that then minister of defence Mosiuoa Lekota had frozen the contract, and implored him to "unfreeze" it.
Mr Maynier claimed that this was the first official statement making direct reference to Project Flute. It was necessary, he said, to find out whether it involved financial misconduct, and if so whether any disciplinary proceedings were instituted as required by the Public Finance Management Act.
During heated debate in the National Assembly last year over the government's controversial secrecy bill, senior ANC MP Luwellyn Landers made reference to Mr Lekota's "role in the sorry saga of the Russian satellite". No further comment was made outside the National Assembly, even by Mr Landers.
There was another hint when the Treasury said in its annual budget documents that a steep increase in spending on defence intelligence between 2007 and 2011 was "mainly due to planned investment in and the development of a strategic information-collection capability".
The scandal comes on top of the long-standing one over the African National Congress-led government's spending billions of rand on arms South Africa either did not need or could not operate and maintain. The deal was made during former president Nelson Mandela's tenure and is the subject of a commission of inquiry into allegations of corruption and bribery by those who sold arms to South Africa.

— Adapted from "Fog City Diner Cookbook" by Cindy Pawlcyn. Makes 6 servings
1/3 cup quick-cooking tapioca
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch of kosher salt or sea salt
2 eggs, beaten
3 1/2 cups milk
1 vanilla bean
1. Put the tapioca, sugar, salt, eggs and milk in the top of a double boiler. Split the vanilla bean pod in half lengthwise, scrape the seeds into the saucepan, and drop the pod in, too. Gently stir together all the ingredients until thoroughly mixed; do not create a foam. Cook, stirring occasionally for the first 7 minutes or so, then stir constantly for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
2. Remove the bean pod, scrape it a second time and discard. Cool completely. If left uncovered, the pudding will form a skin on top. The skin is like the lumps in mashed potatoes - some people like it, some don't. If you want to eliminate the skin, cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap (the plastic film should actually touch the pudding.) Do this when the pudding is still hot. Serve with lightly sugared fruit, if desired.

Residents march through Liberty City to protest shooting deaths
Erick Johnson | 4/24/2014, 9 a.m.
"We're getting killed at bus stops, stores, everywhere," she said. "Crime will never stop. But what we can do is reduce crime. But we have to start snitching. It takes a community to come together to stop this to a certain degree."
"It's easy for people to see this and put it on their camera or Facebook and not call crime stoppers," Gardner said. "It's worse because all you do is watch families grieve."
The march began with a press conference led by Charles Jackson, executive director of The Making of a Champion Youth Program, who gave a passionate plea to end gun-violence before media organizations at an abandoned gas station at the NW corner of 22nd Avenue and 79th Street.
"We've had too many innocent young men and women killed in our community," Jackson said. "Enough is enough. We cannot allow violence to rule this community."
The conference was then followed by the march, which headed east on 79th street before turning north on NW 17th Avenue past the Dorsey Education Center. From there, the march headed to 65th street where it turned left into the infamous Liberty Square projects, known by many as 'Pork and Beans.'
Here, 18-year-old Tiarra Grant and 22-year-old Shalaundra Williams were shot and killed in December after someone opened fire while they were in a car with two other women who survived their injuries. Inside the 800-unit complex, a makeshift shrine with candles remains at 14th Avenue and 65 Street, the site where Grant and Williams were believed to have been killed.
During the march, residents emerged from their homes, alerted by the loud shouts and the sight of a casket near their front yard.
"You've got to come out of that house and tell police something. You could be next," said Regina Gardner, stepmother of Kimouria. Regina wants to create a support group for mothers whose children have been killed by gun violence.
The march then proceeded from 13th Avenue to 62nd Street, ending at Brothers Market, where Grant's life was taken. The march started at 4:30 p.m. and took a total of four hours to complete. Near the end, the shouts from protesters dwindled as fatigue began to take its toll.
But the protesters kept on walking. Many said they were tired from gun violence and not the walk.
"My feet may be tired, but my soul is at rest," Jackson said.

I am pretty sure that there will be another World War. The way that things are going with the countries at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if all hell breaks loose pretty soon. I really hate war. Why can't these important "leaders" just put aside their differences and realise the one thing that we all have in common: We are all Human beings.
Regarding the Global Warming scare: We cannot do anything to suppress this event unless all of the countries of the world participate. Right now, that doesn't appear to be the case.

Glossary of Terms Bibliography Quizzes/Review Site Map
Introduction to Health Services Research : A Self-Study Course
For a comprehensive search of health services research materials, you will want to use PubMed and LOCATORplus (to exploit the powerful search features of each of these services), or alternatively, to use the NLM Gateway for a single, unified approach.
This next section will demonstrate how to search for health services literature. As mentioned previously, HealthSTAR references are now available from PubMed and from LOCATORplus.
Take one of the questions listed in one of the case studies or a question of your choice to practice searching for the HSR literature.
Before you start, consider how you would answer the following questions:
Natural language terms are text words most often found in the title or abstract. They may be MeSH terms also, but most often they are words that might be new to the field. NLM staff maps text terms to the appropriate MeSH term if available.
In addition to applying the previously mentioned filters, try title searches [ti] on these terms to retrieve evidence-based results:
Best evidence [ti]Critical appraisal [ti]Effective Programs [ti] Evidence based public health [ti]Science based [ti]Systematic review [ti]
Best evidence [ti]Critical appraisal [ti]Effective Programs [ti] Evidence based public health [ti]Science based [ti]Systematic review [ti]
Source: Selected EBPH Terms from PubMed, Public Health Manual Tutorial. 2005. [Online] Site URL: http://phpartners.org/tutorial/04-ebph/2-keyConcepts/4.2.6.html. You would substitute medicine for the word 'public health' above.
It is also worth examining the many papers written by Brian Haynes, et al, as well as Montori VM, et al's paper titled,"Optimal search strategies for retrieving systematic reviews from Medline: analytical survey" which appeared in the BMJ in 2005 for insights into best practices in searching for the evidence-based literature.
Montori recommends that you list "indexing terms (for example, subject headings and subheadings, publication types) and text words used to describe systematic reviews (single words or phrases that may appear in titles or abstracts, both in full and in various truncations)" before beginning to type in your search.

Rio Olympic Organizers Set Deadline for Golf Architect Applications
The organizers of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro have asked that golf architects interested in bidding on the new course for the Games submit their proposals this month. The winner will be selected December 23rd of this year.
Golf is returning to the Olympics for the first time since the St. Louis Games in 1904. The sport was reinstated by an International Olympic Committee vote in 2009 after concerted lobbying from members of the golf industry. It's also guaranteed to be played in the 2020 Games; that site has not been determined.
The Rio Olympic requested that companies or individual architects send in their applications by October 28. In its announcement on Monday the committee also noted that the course must also leave a legacy to Rio and become "an important tool for youth transformation through sport."
Several top names have expressed interest in designing what will become a high-profile course. That group includes heavyweights such as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Greg Norman. Famed golfers Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa - both now retired from competition - have also thrown their hats in the ring.
The winning bidder must have an office legally established in Rio and will be paid $300,000 for the design of the course, which will be built in the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood, the site of many Olympic venues.

The First Ozone Parade
Received an email from my dad this afternoon with a link to the following video. The first minute is "Ozone Burgers (To Go), an animated short by Chris Frayne (Designer of the iconic Washtenaw Dairy t-shirt and brother of Commander Cody). After that it's footage of the First Annual Ozone Homecoming Parade in Ann Arbor, MI, 1972. Holy shit. Behold the glory of the 1970s.

I have this long time debate with my friend Tom, wherein I (who was born in the 70s) argue that it was the best f'in decade ever (porn in theaters; need I say more?). I'm not sure if this video helps my argument or not.ReplyDeleteReplies

There were actually 3840 possible combinations, but 320 were redundant. These 320 occurred whenever the smallest shape (the ring) was obscured by the two largest (the triangle & swipe). So whether the ring was color or white side up, it made no difference. Check it out!

George Ponte is Central Oregon District Forester with the State Department of Forestry. He says so far, there haven't been any big fires in the region.

Reviews — From the September 1996 issue
The (very lucrative) advent of the Christian thriller
Flor Arely Sánchez had been in bed with a fever and pains throughout her body for three days when a July thunderstorm broke over the mountainside. She got nervous when bolts of light flashed in the sky. Lightning strikes the San Julián region of western El Salvador several times a year, and her neighbors fear storms more than they fear the march of diseases — first dengue, then chikungunya, now Zika. Flor worried about a lot of things, since she was pregnant.
Late in the afternoon, when the pains had somewhat eased, Flor thought she might go to a dammed-up bit of the river near her house to bathe. She is thirty-five and has lived in the same place all her life, where wrinkled hills are planted with corn, beans, and fruit trees. She took a towel and soap and walked out into the rain. Halfway to the river, the pains returned and overcame her. The next thing Flor remembers, she was in a room she didn't recognize, unable to move. As she soon discovered, she was in a hospital, her ankle cuffed to the bed, and she was being investigated for abortion.

• We reviewed the records of 341 patients who underwent thyroidectomy for the suspicion of cancer between 1975 and 1980. Cancer of the thyroid was found in 14% of them. Although cysts of the thyroid (pathologic finding of a fluid-filled cavity greater than 1 cm in diameter) were encountered in 35% of the patients, cysts were similarly distributed among patients with benign conditions (27%) or with cancer (33%). Most of the thyroid cysts in patients with carcinoma measured 2 to 4 cm in diameter. The cancer was found within the cystic cavity. The cysts in patients with cancer appeared to originate from necrosis of the tumor. B-mode ultrasonography was not reliable in differentiating cystic and solid lesions. The demonstration of the cystic nature of a thyroid nodule does not rule out the diagnosis of cancer of the gland.

It's grillades and grits and grill the head of the Recovery School District on Thursday. Superintendent Patrick Dobard will be the featured guest at The Lens' "Breakfast with the Newsmakers."
The Recovery School District has controlled about three quarters of New Orleans' schools since shortly after Hurricane Katrina. More recently, its takeover-and-charter strategy has drawn protest over Baton Rouge and Shreveport schools.
Dobard will discuss a number of hot topics, including the system's decision to close its last conventional schools, the unexpected end of the charter program at John McDonogh High School, the unified OneApp enrollment system and charter school oversight. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions.
The event runs from 8 to 9 a.m. at Basin St. Station and will be live-streamed.

Well if Sr. Carole was serious saying, she was living religious life on a superficial level, I feel sorry for her and for any other religious who felt that way. Let me tell you, that had to do with their attitude and an inability to see Christ in all things. It had NOTHING to do with how deep you bowed or how wide your pleats were.
Every vocation is full of joy, surpises and sacrifices. None of us are immune to these even Sr. Carole. She and others like her should take responsobility for their obvious inability to take in and live their communities' charism however it was manifested outwardly.

Bridging the label's classic aesthetics with technological updates, the Prime sees the use of leather and mesh across its taped upper, while an option of speckled or python prints accent the tongue and heel panel. The lightweight sneaker sits atop an Ultracush midsole and rubber outsole for comfort and greater traction. Fitting as both a lifestyle shoe for the season ahead, the Vans LXVI Prime is set to release in March 1 in black/light grey and light grey/white at select stockists and Vans' online store.

Quote of the weekend papers goes to TVNZ's spokeswoman Megan Richards, who was in the Weekend Herald: "Richards said no one knew why television viewership was dropping around the world, or why TVNZ might be affected more than TV3."
Well, there's this cool new thing called the internet. You can use it with your computer, and look up info on your fave shows, and chat with other fans about the shows you like.
Best of all, when a local tv network dumps your fave show mid-season with no warning, explanation, or even possible date for its return to your screen (see Sopranos, 30 Rock, When I Met Your Mother), you can go on the internet and download the whole season of the show and watch it when you want, without ads.
The internet - its the future of television. Or so I've heard.

Hello, Springfield!
Manu Chao has a new album out early September, called 'La Radiolina' (pictured above), his first studio album since 2001. He was last heard on the fantastic album 'Dimanche A Bamako' from Mailian couple Amadou and Mariam, released in 2005.
'Toward the end of a live show, weary musicians often appeal to the audience with a stock phrase intended to invigorate the proceedings: "How is everyone feeling tonight?" "I can't hear you!" "Cleveland, make some noise!" Manu Chao, a wiry forty-six-year-old of Spanish extraction who grew up in Paris, used a different tactic when he played the first of two sold-out shows in Brooklyn's Prospect Park in June. He shouted out the names of countries, and people cheered, often in reverse proportion to the nation's population: "Uruguay!" Some whoops. "Costa Rica!" Roars. "Macedonia!" Total mayhem.'

Slumming it.
Annabel Fay is a young local singer who releases her debut album today. Very amusing interview with her in the Weekend Herald, snip...
"... There have been no hiccups in Annabel Fay's entrance into the music scene yet - but for the way her PR people have tried to market her. Even though Fay is relaxed about her provenance, they have gone to great lengths to downplay it - perhaps sensitive to the suspicion that rich kids get unearned breaks in life, or mindful of the negative publicity over Sir Michaels recent dealings with the New Zealand Securities Commission in which he and former partner David Richwhite agreed to pay $20 million to settle insider-trading proceedings [on a deal that he made $60 million].
Background publicity information supplied to Canvas claimed Annabel Fay lived as a fully-fledged member of the hoi polloi. Her PR agent said in an email Fay earned her own living and was so passionate about being a professional musician and "not taking advantage of her family's assets" she caught the bus to work, shopped in Glassons, "and sometimes goes to friends for meals because she doesn't have the money to buy her own food."
Its a pity they didn't tell Fay, who blithely told Canvas during our interview she gets a weekly allowance from her parents, drives a car owned by her mother - and although she isn't able to work due to her music commitments - recently moved into a Ponsonby apartment by herself. "I've had a privileged but not excessive upbringing," she says. "I'm not naive; it's not something that I take for granted." She confesses she often asks her parents for extra money, but I don't get a 'yes' very often."Link.Aint life tough.
You may remember a while back, when US singer Pink ripped off the artwork of local artist Martin Emond for her video "U and Ur Hand".
Seems that maybe Martin wasn't the only artist she borrowed from...
From New York Post "page Six" column... "ugust 16, 2007 -- An avant-garde Manhattan painter is suing Pink for copyright infringement, saying the pop cutie used one of his works in a 2006 music video. In his case filed in Manhattan District Court, Vladimir Kush charges Pink and her record company, Zomba, with reproducing images from his painting "Countes Erotiques" throughout her video for "U + Ur Hand" without permission."

From the interview with Wilson....
"People have treated me with contempt, and quite rightly -I'm a TV presenter, I'm a big head, 'F^#% you Wilson.' I get that all the time ... Suddenly, I'm dying of cancer - everyone loves you. If you've got people hating you, just get cancer, its fantastic. People are so concerned."

Your sunrise summary of everything you need to know about weather in Houston.
It's going to be hot today, and possibly stormy tonight.
Houston hit 94 degrees on Wednesday, the warmest it's been this year, and we could go a tick or two higher today under mostly sunny skies.
The heat will give way to a chance of rain tonight as a line of storms moves through Houston from west to east, some time after 8 p.m. The forecast models are split as to how strong this system will be when it pushes through Houston, but there is general agreement that any storms should be stronger north of the city, where there's a chance of severe weather.
Hail and damaging winds are the main threat, and the National Weather Service has placed Houston under a Hazardous Weather Outlook as a result.
The system noted above should move through before sunrise. Then, the region could see another round of storms on Friday afternoon.
Saturday looks mostly sunny, with temperatures in the low 90s, before some slight chances return for the first part of next week.
The Atlantic tropics are quiet.
So, the mid-nineties.
For me, this is when summer
truly does begin.
In 1979 the low temperature on this date was 55 degrees. If only…
