Deeb Construction
About Deeb Construction
Deeb Construction is located in New Port Richey, FL. The company employs approximately 13 employees and is categorized under the Site Preparation Contractors industry. This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in site preparation activities, such as excavating and grading, demolition of buildings and other structures, and septic system installation. Earth moving and land clearing for all types of sites (e.g., building, nonbuilding, mining) is included in this industry. Establishments primarily engaged in construction equipment rental with operator (except cranes) are also included.
Deeb Construction can be more broadly classified into the Specialty Trade Contractors sector, defined as companies whose primary activity is performing specific activities involved in building construction or other activities that are similar for all types of construction, but that are not responsible for the entire project.
The production work performed by establishments in this sector is usually subcontracted from establishments of the general contractor type or operative builders, but especially in remodeling and repair construction, work also may be done directly for the owner of the property. Specialty trade contractors usually perform most of their work at the construction site, although they may have shops where they perform prefabrication and other work.
There are substantial differences in types of equipment, work force skills, and other inputs required by specialty trade contractors. Throughout the Specialty Trade Contractors sector, establishments commonly provide both the parts and labor required to complete work.

Doctors in New Mexico are now allowed to prescribe medications to help terminally ill people commit suicide, the 2nd District Court in Albuquerque ruled Monday.
Judge Nan Nash's decision stems from a two-day bench trial in December in which two doctors and a Santa Fe woman with advanced uterine cancer asked the judge to determine that physicians would not be breaking the law if they wrote prescriptions for competent, terminally ill patients who wanted to end their lives.
Doctors Katherine Morris and Aroop Mangalik and patient Aja Riggs filed their lawsuit in 2012.
Under state law, assisting with suicide is a fourth-degree felony.
Arguing their case were the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico and Compassion & Choice, a national advocacy group. They asserted that a doctor's help for a competent, terminally ill patient who wished to hasten death was not covered by a 1960s state law making it a felony to assist a suicide.
But the state argued that such an action by a doctor was covered by the law and that banning doctor-assisted suicide was consistent with individual rights under the state Constitution.
The judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs.
"This court cannot envision a right more fundamental, more private or more integral to liberty, safety, and happiness of a New Mexican than the right of a competent, terminally ill patient to choose aid in dying," Judge Nash wrote.
"If decisions made in the shadow of one's imminent death regarding how they and their loved ones will face that death are not fundamental and at the core of these constitutional guarantees, than what decisions are?" he added.
The New Mexico Attorney General's Office said it is discussing the possibility of an appeal but needs to analyze fully the judge's opinion before commenting further.
Doctor assisted suicide is permitted in Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Vermont.

Hands Up, the new age of Euro Dance?
Very DDR-esque, and I can definately say that I know a few DJ's who'd through that done back home, and a few in Bremen cuz it'd fit in their Hands Up sets.
Kinda cheesy for my taste, I'm not into the Hardstyle meets Happycore deal BUT, I will say that the mastering is beautifully done!!! Not perfect but, damn near it!
For that, I give you alot of credit.
Keep up the good work, and keep it bangin'

Really, Luke – the farce is with you
Published 13/05/2013 | 05:00
Considering he's supposed to be the ultimate anti-establishment candidate, Luke 'Ming' Flanagan appears to be quite adept at working the system.
He showed how adept he was at using the fine print of the law when he got his penalty points written off while apparently on his way to the Dail.
Funnily enough, Mr Flanagan didn't clock in to the Dail, or subsequently register his presence, that fateful day when he was travelling to Dublin on a bank holiday in June 2011 and was stopped by gardai for driving while using a mobile phone.
He was entitled to do so, as he was in Leinster House for a meeting, even on a non-sitting day, but didn't.
Yet when he was in Morocco on an all-expenses paid junket, he marked himself present in Leinster House. Nothing wrong with that, and well within the rules.
Curious behaviour, that's all, for a TD who sets himself apart from the rest.
Mr Flanagan was one of those who benefited from the collapse of Fianna Fail support at the last general election, picking up a seat previously held by the party. Pledging a different type of politics, Mr Flanagan hasn't turned out all that different to the crowd that went before him.

Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM)
In this type of plasma cell neoplasm, plasma cells may make up ten percent or more of the bone marrow. The abnormal plasma cells produce M protein that may be found during a routine blood or urine test and is generally greater than 30 g/L. Smoldering MM signifies early disease and symptoms such as anemia, renal failure, hypercalcemia or bone lesions are not generally observed at this stage. Since disease is not yet active, SMM is usually observed to watch for disease progression, but not treated. There is newer data suggesting that some types of smoldering MM may benefit from therapy. However, this depends on a number of different factors, and is important to talk about when you see a myeloma expert.

REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviews
Blue Glass Bottle with Clamp Lid
Reviewed by 1 customer
Comments about Blue Glass Bottle with Clamp Lid:
The bottle is larger than I expected but it is true to the dimensions. Snap closure is tight, no leaks. The opening is a bit smaller than a quarter so if you want to fill it, things would have to be small. Color is light blue, light aqua shades. Thickness is about that of a coke bottle. I plan to buy a couple more since they are so pretty and reasonably priced.

Alabama has one of the highest percentages of couch potatoes in the nation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In a new report, the CDC found that Alabama residents -- along with residents of Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Tennessee -- are the least likely to be physically active during leisure time. In each of those states, physical inactivity rates are 29.2 percent or greater for more than 70 percent of the counties.
2008 CDC survey found that 25.4 percent of U.S. adults did not spend any of their free time being physically active, including activities such as walking for exercise, gardening, golfing or running.
The most active states are California, Colorado, Hawaii, Minnesota, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.
"In our southern culture, hallmarks of hospitality are food and rest, so we are working against our nature to begin with," said Lisa Jones, senior vice president of the Birmingham YMCA. "We believe that there are terrific ways to leverage this tradition and to help make the healthy choice the easy choice."
The report provides county-by-county breakdowns for every state. According to the report, 29 percent of Jefferson County residents are inactive during their leisure time. Shelby County had the best rate in the state at 24.4 percent inactivity.
The worst offenders live in Walker County, according to the report, where 37.4 percent of residents get little to no physical activity during leisure time.
"Physical activity is crucial to managing diabetes and reducing serious complications of the disease," said Ann Albright, director of CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation. "Moderate-intensity activities such as dancing or brisk walking, for just 150 minutes a week, can significantly improve the health of people with diabetes or at high risk for the disease."
The county-level leisure time physical inactivity estimates come from the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which uses self-reported data, phone surveys and 2007 information from the Census Bureau. Those participating in the survey were asked whether they participated in any physical activities or exercise outside of their regular jobs.
Officials at the CDC say they hope the information from the report will be used by community organizations and policymakers to promote healthful living by reducing tobacco use, fighting obesity, improving nutrition and increasing physical activity.
The Jefferson County Department of Health received $13.3 million in federal grants last year to do just that with the help of other members of the Health Action Partnership, a coalition of agencies and organizations in the area.
"The Health Action Partnership is working to create healthy spaces where people walk or bike to their favorite places," Jones said. "That includes more kids walking to school and more groups in neighborhoods walking together for exercise or for transportation."
Jones said the partnership is working to help make those activities safer by supporting improved "walkability."
"That just means that the routes people use are well-marked, well-maintained and that they actually go somewhere," she said. "We are also actively working with local physician groups to encourage conversations with patients during office visits about levels of physical activity. We know that our medical community can be a critical partner in encouraging healthy, moderate exercise."

Delfino presented at Juventus Stadium. "A new era begins", said Conte.
Aplaudan, aplaudan, no dejen de aplaudir los goles de Delfino que ya van a venir. The Italian fans chanted a song from Delfino's beloved Argentina, roughly translated as "Clap, clap, don't stop clapping Delfino's goals about to arrive".
Bianconeri supporters gathered today at Juventus Stadium and its surroundings to receive Lucas Delfino at Turín, after the French striker was transferred to the club from Manchester United, for a record breaking fee of 140,000,000 euros. The young goalscorer, who was last year's winner of the World Footballer of the Year Award, entered the pitch wearing a jersey with the legend "Forza Juventus".
Delfino's words during the conference were brief, but went straight to the point: "I'm very happy to be at a club with such an illustrious history as Juventus. I want everyone present here to know I will wear this jersey with pride, as many important players of Juventus have done in the past, and will give only my best to live up to your expectations." Antonio Conte was the one who spoke afterwards: "This is a player that is not only the meaning of skill, but also of commitment and enthusiasm. The squad and I are happy to welcome him to the Bianconeri family. With you, we begin a new era."
The ever-present skill display.
Everyone present at the stadium was amazed after two well known figures of Juventus stepped into the pitch before walking up to the stage: Michel Platini, three time Ballon d'Or winner and UEFA president, and Alessandro Del Piero, all-time top goalscorer for the club. Both congratulated Delfino for his arrival to Juventus, before presenting him with the number 10 jersey, which both wore back when they were players at the club. "Next time, I hope to meet you at Wembley", said Platini, while Pinturicchio took the time to make a small joke directed to the French forward's prolific scoring, before the two midfielders proceeded to put the jersey on Lucas: "I hope my record lasts a few more years before you break it."
Tomorrow, Delfino will make his debut as a starter against A.S. Roma, in the second fixture of Serie A. Lucas, who won the Europa League against Roma having scored three goals in the final, will surely look to make a big impression on his debut.

Juventus destroys Roma with five-star performance from Delfino
A true postcard: even in crowds, Roma players were unable to stop the speedy striker.
With five goals from Delfino, and one from Pirlo and Giaccherini each, Juventus won its second match in the tournament, against a Roma that looked far stronger in the papers than it did on the pitch.
The match had a bright start with Juventus and Roma both getting scoring opportunities early on. The away team was the first to score, as Bonucci played a perfect pass past three players for Delfino to shoot one-on-one against Stekelenburg, making this his first goal for the club. Thus, within fifteen minutes in Serie A, Lucas managed to get his name on the scoring sheet. Moreover, this marked Lucas' 200th goal in domestic league matches, making this goal twice the special for him.
Roma's closest attempt on goal came in the 27th minute, after a powerful shot by Bradley went inches wide of Buffon's left post. Two minutes later, Pjanic forced an excellent save by Gianluigi, as Roma started to level the playing field. Delfino's goalscoring instict came into play before half-time. Giovinco played a pass to Vucinic, while Lucas awaited in the penalty spot. The Montenegrin player then back-heeled the ball to him, and Delfino had no trouble shooting it into the net, giving his team the two goal lead.
Delfino shoots what will be his first goal in Serie A, and his 200th overall in league matches.
In the second half, a shot from Delfino came close to give Juventus another goal. His hat-trick would come shortly afterwards, when a through ball from Vucinic found him inside the box, and the French player dribbled around two Roma defenders before slotting the ball past Stekelenburg. Proving he was not all about goals, Lucas went on to assist Pirlo in Juventus' fourth goal, with an exquisite pass to the penalty spot.
There was more to be had in the second half, as Delfino increased his tally to four thanks to an assist by Giaccherini, which Lucas put into the net with a first touch strike. Even this didn't seem to stop him from wanting more, and more came when the young star scored another goal similar to his third. Needless to say, Roma's defense didn't know how to deal with him.
Juventus' seventh arrived after Giaccherini volleyed a rebound conceded by Stekelenburg into goal, after having a header blocked by the Dutch keeper.
Lucas celebrates one of his (many) goals in the match. The number 10 returns with all of its glory.
That would be the last the match would see, as Juventus beat Roma 7-0 with a fantastic display by Lucas Delfino, who certainly was everything the fans expected him to be. With two wins from two, having scored nine goals and received none, Juventus leads the championship, tied on points with Inter along with three other clubs. Conte's team next commitment will be on September 5th, against Pescara, when Lucas plays his first official match in Juventus Stadium.

Juventus beats Pescara with brace from Delfino
The number 10 made a glorious return to Juventus Stadium after Delfino scored two goals in what was a tight win over Pescara. The French striker opened the score in the 20th minute before adding another goal thirteen minutes later. Jonathas scored an 81st minute goal to give his team a slight chance to draw the match, but the Bianconeri demonstrated superiority as Conte's team came out as winner.
The first excitement of the match came in the 9th minute, after Giaccherini was tackled in the edge of the area by Zanon, despite Juventus' players claiming a penalty. Delfino's execution wasn't succesful as his shot went just over the crossbar, but ten minutes later, the French player had another opportunity to give his team the lead, except this time his shot hit the barrier. Seconds later, Lucas showed what his game was all about, as he received a pass from Matri outside the box before shooting the ball past Perin.
In the 21st minute, Chiellini was booked for a tackle on Caprari just outside the area, giving Pescara a great chance to equalize, and had not it been for Buffon, the fouled player would have done just that, as the Italian keeper stopped his shot. Juventus continued dominating Pescara, and Delfino scored a second through a lobbed shot as the clock reached the 33rd minute.
Early in the second half, Asamoah had a long ranged shot go just wide of Perin's right post. As minutes progressed, Conte decided to switch to a more defensive formation with five players in the back, and as such Asamoah left the pitch for Lichtsteiner to enter as a left back. Later on, Pescara substituted Lulli and Blasi for Weiss and Caprari, but the team showed no signs of response.
Nearing the end of the game, Matri won a free kick for Lucas to complete his hat-trick, but the striker's shot was off-target. Trouble arised minutes later, after Buffon failed to calculate the trayectory of the ball and Jonathas scored a goal which the keeper acknowedleged to be his fault. Desperate not to concede another one, Conte substituted Bendtner for Matri in order to have fresh legs in attack. The referee decided to end the game just as Delfino was heading towards goal all alone thanks to a pass from the recent substitute, and thus the Vecchia Signora won its third consecutive game in Serie A.
Delfino, the Man of the Match, was briefly interviewed on the pitch following the whistle:
- Lucas, nineteen years, wearing the number 10. Were you expecting a debut like this in Turin?
- I think I knew it was going to be a special day. Even though I scored some goals last time, I was hoping to do well today, in front of the fans, so I'm glad we won.
- This is just your second match in Serie A, but you have already faced Italian teams in European competitions. What do you make of them?
- I expected Italian teams to have a much more defensive approach to the game, but I have found they are just as offensive if not more than English teams. Naturally this is good for us strikers, because the more offensive a team is, the more spaces they concede for us to exploit.
- This surely translates in the fact that, in just two games for Juve, you have found the net seven times. Do you see yourself as an important part of the team, despite the little time you have been with the club?
- I want to be important, which is why I try to give my best in every game I play. The manager knows that, and if he were to ask me, I would sit on the bench on the next game, and see if my opportunity comes. The manager is the one who decides whether you are important or not.
- Speaking about important, you have played two important derbies with Manchester United, against Manchester City and Liverpool. In fifteen days, Juventus will face Inter at the Giuseppe Meazza. What do you expect from that match, being this one of the most heated derbies in Europe?
- It's too early to speak about a game like that. First we have to make our debut in the Europa League, and only then we will play Inter. But I'm sure it will be a very exciting match, and the fans will enjoy every bit of it. Everyone knows you don't play derbies, you win them.
Juventus F.C. 2: Buffon; Barzagli, Chiellini, Lúcio; Vidal, K. Asamoah, Marchisio, Isla, Giaccherini; Matri, Lucas Delfino.
Pescara 1: Perin; U. Cosic, D. Mbodj, Zanon, Crescenzi; Cascione, Bjarnason, M. Nielsen, Weiss, Caprari; Jonathas.
GOALS: 20' 33' Lucas Delfino (J), 81' Jonathas (P).
SUBSTITUTIONS: 60' Lichtsteiner for K. Asamoah (J), 68' Lulli for Caprari and Blasi for Weiss (P), 89' Bendtner for Matri (J).

Delfino opens the score in the second minute of the game.
An early goal by Lucas gave Juventus the lead in the derby, before both him and Giovinco scored late into the first half to give the Bianconeri the victory. Conte's team, an unstoppable machine.
Juventus struck as early as the second minute into the match. Giovinco dribbled on the left with the ball at his feet while Lucas tried to avoid Jonathan's mark, and the Italian midfielder played a perfect pass to Delfino who avoided being caught offside, before controlling the ball and curling it from a tight angle past Handanovic.
In the eight minute, a through ball by Lucas enabled Vucinic to reach Inter's box unmarked, but his shot hit Handanovic's left post and went out of the pitch. Ten minutes later, Sneijder missed Inter's equalizer after a pass from Cassano left him right in front of goal, with his shot going straight to Buffon's hands. Nearing the end of the first half, it was clear Inter was leveling the playing field between the two. However, a fantastic counter-attack started by Pirlo left Delfino and Giovinco against Handanovic, with the French player passing the ball to the midfielder, who shot it into the keeper's bottom right corner.
Giovinco puts Juve two goals ahead of Inter, minutes before half-time.
More awaited Inter following Giovinco's goal, as another counter-attack by Juve saw Delfino waste a one-on-one by lobbing the ball over the crossbar. Now in injury time, the striker didn't fail after cutting into the penalty spot from the left before unleashing a powerful shot into Handanovic's net, making it 3-0 for Juve before half-time.
Juventus was clearly in control of the match during the beginning of the second half. Silvestre was booked for a tackle on Lichtsteiner, while Gargano entered the pitch for Livaja and Mariga took his place in attack, in order to look for a goal to bring Inter back to life. After a long ranged shot by Delfino that Handanovic narrowly sent into a corner, Conte decided to play Giaccherini instead of Vucinic, moving Giovinco up front and playing a 5-3-2 formation. In the 67th minute, Bendtner took the Italian midfielder's place in the pitch.
Lucas celebrates his second at the end of the first half. Conte's team proved to be superior to Inter.
Coutinho, who substituted Obi in the 73rd minute of the game, played just one pass which he missed, as opposed to Obi, who played 23 and missed only two. In the 82nd minute, Gargano was yellow carded for a foul on Lucas, in what would be the last tackle the French player received in the game.
Following the game, Conte's words summarized the opinion of the fans: "(Lucas) is the player the crowd has been waiting for since Alex left the club. He has scored in the five matches he has played for Juventus, so you know when you step into the pitch that you are already one goal ahead. It's satisfying to have that sort of confidence when facing an important match."
Delfino, meanwhile, expressed his feelings on scoring a brace against Internazionale: "I've never seen before a crowd as exciting as Juventus' in Europe. It's something to behold, scoring the opener in the first minutes of the match and having the stadium almost fall down on you... it's amazing."
With this victory, Juventus extends its winning streak to six games, including their Europa League victory against Besiktas. Their next compromise will be on the 26th, against Catania.
Inter 0: S. Handanovic; Juan, Silvestre, Jonathan, Alvaro Pereira; Mariga, Javier Zanetti, Obi, Sneijder; Cassano, Livaja.
Juventus 3: Buffon; M. Cáceres, Barzagli, Lúcio; Pirlo, K. Asamoah, Vidal, Lichtsteiner, Giovinco; Vucinic, Lucas Delfino.
GOALS: 2' Lucas Delfino (J), 38' Giovinco (J), 45'+ Lucas Delfino (J).
SUBSTITUTIONS: 53' Gargano for Livaja (I), 62' Giaccherini for Vucinic (J), 67' Bendtner for Giovinco (J), 73' P. Coutinho for Obi (I).
BOOKINGS: 58' Silvestre (I), 82' Gargano (I).
DISMISSALS: None.
Delfino's first goal.

Piques means tidbit. It's used to describe a choice bit of food in Spanish, and that's exactly what this place delivers – choice tidbits from Peru and Argentina, created from local ingredients. All presented next to a roaring fire in a place that looks like your fantasy living room.
Shaun Burke and his fellow food-pal, Dave Mills opened Piques after being inspired by their travels through South America. They took their favourite flavours from the trip and brought them together under one roof in North Carlton.
We start with oyster shots with tiger's milk and coriander, a perfect balance of bright citrus and rich shellfish. Then it's a starter of Kingfish, aji Amarillo (a hot yellow chili pepper), passionfruit and huacatay (also known as Peruvian Black Mint or Stinking Roger), a moreish fusion of fresh fish and sweet passionfruit. There is also fried, salty provolone cheese with almonds and honey, and the delectable bombshell you wouldn't usually order but must: flawlessly roasted beef heart with red onion, aji panca (Peruvian red pepper) spices and an aji rocoto (also a type of pepper but resembling more a capsicum) mayonnaise.

Cardinals coaches couldn't help but smile and shake their heads earlier this season whenever it was suggested that rookie Patrick Peterson hadn't played well at cornerback.
They had no doubt Peterson was going to be a star, they said.
Defensive coordinator Ray Horton said Peterson wasn't getting the benefit of calls because he didn't have a reputation with officials yet.
What really gave coaches confidence in Peterson, however, was his attitude off the field. His physical skills were evident on punt returns, something that doesn't require a lot of technique and study. Developing as a cornerback, however, takes time and hard work.
It was evident from the start of training camp that Peterson was willing, even eager, to do whatever was required.
"He was wired for sound in one of the games and one of the comments he said was, 'I want to be the best in this position in the league,' " coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "It's easy to say that, but when you see him work toward that goal, that's what is exciting. He's been like a sponge. He wants knowledge. He wants information. If you get on him him, he goes 'I won't make that mistake again.' "
Horton said Peterson came of age on Oct. 2 when the Giants had success throwing his way.
"I told him, 'This isn't LSU, they will throw the ball at you in this league,' " Horton said. "Now, he's focused better throughout the play."
Safety Kerry Rhodes will be eased back into action after missing eight games with a fractured foot.
"We don't want to throw him in and give him 62 plays," Horton said. "He'll probably take 50 percent of the snaps."
Rhodes said it's been difficult missing games, especially with the defensive improvement the Cardinals have made.
"It's been hard because you see the guys having fun and they're playing well," Rhodes said. "I'm their No. 1 cheerleader, though. I've been pretty into it."
Quarterback Kevin Kolb's availability for the Browns game won't be announced until Sunday morning.
"He's getting better and better," Whisenhunt said on Friday. But Whisenhunt says that about the vast majority of injured players.
Asked if Kolb could start or would be the backup, Whisenhunt said, "We'll see."
It's likely that John Skelton will start for the fifth time this season.
Browns coach Pat Shurmur is pleased with the progress of safety Eric Hagg, a seventh-round pick who played at Glendale Ironwood High and Nebraska.
Hagg doesn't start but he plays in passing situations. He's come a long way since training camp when he suffered a knee injury that caused him to miss the first six games.
"That was one of those training camp injuries that we were really bummed about," Shurmur said. "In a non-contact red zone drills, he goes to defend the corner route and falls down on his knee.
"He raced back from injury, and he has been in there competing. We like a lot of what we see. I think, for him, it's just a matter of being able to get in there and do it."
Receiver Larry Fitzgerald is the only Cardinals player ranked among the top five at his position in Pro Bowl voting by fans.
Fan voting ends on Monday and counts one-third. Votes from players and coaches account for the other two-thirds.
Among other Cardinals who could garner some votes are defensive end Calais Campbell, strong safety Adrian Wilson and Peterson as a returner.
"I think it's an honor," Whisenhunt said, "especially to be voted into that with how much input the other players have. There are always going to be some guys that get into the Pro Bowl because they've had a good statistical year or because of their reputations.
"You understand that, but I don't think you can judge a player's year, because there have been a lot of guys that haven't made the Pro Bowl that have had very good years."

For the second year in a row, Iowa announced its leading rusher would not return to the program despite retaining eligibility. They didn't leave for the NFL.
Marcus Coker will follow in the footsteps of Adam Robinson and transfer out of Iowa. Both were suspended from their respective bowl games the last two seasons.
On Coker, a University of Iowa release announced Tuesday: That sophomore running back Marcus Coker has withdrawn his application to enroll in spring semester classes. Coker also asked for a release from his football scholarship and that request has been granted.
Coker spoke about his exit on Facebook Tuesday night:
Welp so much for that. It was a good 2 years iowa..best 2 I could of asked for. Thanks again for the support. I really wish I could tell u guys wats goin on cuz its really ridiculous to b punished for somethin I didnt do. Id like to think the coaches and athletic staff for everything. Hawk for life
Iowa announced on Dec. 20 that Coker would be suspended from the Insight Bowl for violating the school's policies and the UI Student-Athlete Code of Conduct.
The Iowa City Press-Citizen published a story Tuesday citing records that Coker was involved in an assault investigation.
"It is unfortunate that Marcus Coker will not be with the team for our bowl game," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said in a release at that time. "During the next 10 days, we will focus and continue to prepare the players that are able to participate."
Iowa AD Gary Barta said during the Insight Bowl week in Arizona that the door was open for Coker's return. He said the same about fellow suspended running back Mika'il McCall, who announced earlier this month that he was leaving the Hawkeyes program.
Coker was the second-leading rusher in the Big Ten with 1,384 yards, fourth on Iowa's all-time season list. He scored 15 touchdowns. He was the offensive MVP of Iowa's victory over Missouri in the '10 Insight Bowl, gaining 219 yards with two scores in place of Robinson, who was suspended for a violation of team rules.
Coker has not had public comment on his suspension. He did post something on his Facebook page on Dec. 6:
Everything happens for a reason..cant tell people i did something when i didnt. So hints y i never answered those questions. Anyway thanks everyone for the support especially hawknation and fam. Go hawks..hawk for life
On the same day, his mother, Tammy Money, posted on her Facebook page: I want to Thank everyone for all your support of my family! You guys are great and we love each and everyone of you! by the way GO HAWKS!
The Hawkeyes have seen an unusual amount of recent attrition at running back. In addition to Coker, McCall and Robinson, Jewel Hampton and Brandon Wegher also have left Iowa since December of 2010. All were on scholarship and thought to be among the top players at the position when they exited Iowa City.
Ferentz was attending the national coach's convention on Tuesday. He did not provide a comment in the university release.

Banana Pancakes2013-02-11
- Servings : 3
- Prep Time : 0m
- Cook Time : 3m
- Ready In : 0m
1.Blend your bananas, eggs, coconut milk and almond extract together in a kitchen mixer.
2.Add in coconut flour and cinnamon — blend again until smooth.
3.Heat a tbsp. of coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat — you may need additional oil to finish them all.
4.Spoon 2-3 tbsp. of batter into your frying pan and cook 1-2 minutes then flip.
We ate our pancakes with just a pat of butter and some extra cinnamon sprinkled on top. As I mentioned before these would be great with added honey, syrup, coconut butter, almond butter, or even some extra sliced banana and nuts.
- 2 very ripe bananas, sliced
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp. coconut milk
- 1/4 tsp. almond extract (sub vanilla extract if you don't have any on hand)
- 3 tbsp. coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- a few tbsp. of coconut oil for frying

I have tried a couple of different pancake recipes and cannot get any of them to not scramble when trying to flip. Even if they are almost burnt they still don't look anything like the above pic. Any suggestions??
These were pretty good, maybe a little heavy which was odd. I might try to make the, a little thinner next time.
Made these today but without the coconut milk. My first time making Paleo pancakes and these were fairly good. The texture is definitely not very fluffy and more heavy. I also had a lot of trouble with them burning and scrambling trying to flip. I will have to try on a different stove top that would allow for low frying.

Do you know what kind of bird built this nest? Interesting!
Hi Jean
That is a very interesting question, and I think will require a process of elimination.
This is in a hawthorn hedgerow near the canal towpath and in summer would be well camouflaged. At first I thought it may be something like a long-tailed tit
But their nest is of moss and lichen but quite big for the size of the bird.
This nest has what seems to be rather large dried sedges in the outer layer, so we will have to eliminate more!
Regards Peter
Of course it could be something else other than a bird, but I think it would be a bit high for our field mice.
I noticed this Golden Mouse nest in South Carolia!
Best Wishes Peter
Well, would you believe that the Starling seems to like this type of material and seems to choose many different places to nest.
Here is on in a similar location
Well it is the best yet!
Regards, Peter

Danaher Soars Amid $6.8 Billion Acquisition of Beckman Coulter
Danaher Corp. climbed to the highest price since 1980 after agreeing to pay $6.8 billion for diagnostic-equipment maker Beckman Coulter Inc. amid higher demand for medical tests from an aging U.S. population.
Danaher, a maker of microscopes and water-treatment systems, will start a tender offer of $83.50 a share for 76-year-old Beckman Coulter's outstanding stock within seven days, the company said today in a statement. The deal's total valuation includes available cash and net debt, Danaher said.
"Clinicians and patients are looking for better outcomes," Chief Executive Officer Lawrence Culp said on a conference call to discuss the purchase. "Better information upfront is going to drive that. The aging of our population in the West certainly was a driver here for us."
Danaher expects Beckman Coulter to add as much as 10 cents to adjusted earnings per share this year and as much as 30 cents to net per-share earnings in 2012, according to a presentation on the company's website. The Brea, California company will be folded into Danaher's Life Sciences division, which makes diagnostic equipment and posted 2010 revenue of $2.3 billion, or about 17 percent of the company's total sales.
Danaher, based in Washington, added $1.05, or 2.2 percent, to $49.03 at 4:15 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The increase capped a 38 percent gain in the past 12 months and was the largest since July 1980, the earliest date recorded in Bloomberg data. Beckman Coulter climbed $7.48, or 10 percent, to $82.65.
Medical-technology businesses will make up about 47 percent of Danaher's sales after the acquisition, and Culp said that figure would probably drop to 40 percent over time.
'High-Water Mark'
"We're at a little bit of a high-water mark here, I suspect, but it's temporary," he said on the call. "There's no change in who we want to be, who we are five to 10 years down the road."
Culp said in December that the company would have about $4 billion for acquisitions during the next four to six quarters. So far in 2011, Danaher announced one other purchase agreement, of Belgian software maker EskoArtwork for about $470 million.
Following the completion of that deal and the Beckman Coulter purchase, Danaher will make mostly "bolt-on acquisitions" that complement existing businesses outside of life sciences, Culp said on the call.
"We're going to continue to be active but on a moderated basis," he said.
Acquisition Funding
Danaher said about 25 percent of funding for the Beckman Coulter acquisition will be cash on hand, about 60 percent will be new and acquired debt and 15 percent will be equity. The deal should be completed in the first half, the companies said.
Danaher has found $250 million in cost savings and "synergies" it can produce from the deal, Culp told analysts. The two companies share some customers and Danaher can help accelerate Beckman's growth in China, among other emerging markets outside the U.S., he said.
Danaher has "tremendous opportunity to unlock value at Beckman Coulter," Culp said. "We believe this will be a high-fit, high-opportunity deal."
Demographic trends provide a "tailwind" for the health-care industry, Aaron Vaughn, a St. Louis-based analyst with Edward Jones, wrote in a note to clients.
"The over-60 age group will be one of the fastest-growing age groups over the next couple of decades, and utilization of health-care products such as prescription drugs and devices increases with age," wrote Vaughn, who has a "hold" rating on the shares.
45% Premium
Danaher's offer represents a premium of about 45 percent to Beckman Coulter's closing price on Dec. 9, the day before speculation of a sale began, Danaher said.
The average premium paid for more than 160 U.S. medical instrument companies in the past five years, based on the average share price in the 20 days before an announcement, was 40 percent. On that basis, Danaher's premium for Beckman would be 15 percent.
The deal's multiple of 7.1 times Beckman Coulter's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization compares with a median multiple of 26 in more than a dozen acquisitions, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Beckman Coulter traces its roots to the mid-1930s when Arnold Beckman made his first pH meter to measure the acidity of lemon juice. The company manufactures products used to diagnose diseases and in the development of new drugs, including centrifuges, hematology analyzers and cell sorters. It had about 11,800 employees at the end of 2009, when it posted about $3.26 billion in sales.
CEO's Departure
Beckman Coulter said in September that Chief Executive Officer Scott Garrett had resigned and appointed J. Robert Hurley as interim president and CEO while it searched for a successor.
The departure of Garrett, who had been CEO for more than five years, followed a drop in Beckman's stock price and second-quarter earnings that fell short of analysts' estimates.
Beckman received a warning letter during the summer from U.S. regulators saying the company marketed a test for heart problems without proper clearance.
The warning letter from the Food and Drug Administration involved a test called AccuTnI, which measures a protein called tropinin that is a marker for heart problems. The FDA letter said the company had made "significant modifications" to the product without getting the required regulatory clearance.
Danaher was competing with two private-equity groups, one of which included Apollo Global Management LLC, to acquire Beckman Coulter, people familiar with the matter said in January.
'More Than Fair'
Bids for Beckman came in last week, according to a person familiar with the matter. The Apollo-led group put in a per-share bid in the $70s and was told later in the week that its offer was too low, the person said. The group decided not to raise the offer, the person said.
An Apollo spokesman didn't immediately return phone calls seeking comment.
"A sale price in the low $80s is more than fair," Doug Schenkel, a Boston-based analyst with Cowen & Co., wrote in a note to clients.
While Diagnostic Products Corp. and Dade Behring Holdings Inc. were acquired at higher multiples in 2006 and 2007, respectively, "those deals were done in better times and those assets were in better standing, given Beckman Coulter's recent challenges," Schenkel wrote. He has a "neutral" rating on the shares.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Latham & Watkins LLP are advising Beckman Coulter, and Morgan Stanley is advising Danaher.

A confidential report of cabinet meetings, during which ministers approved an attack on Egypt after its nationalisation of the Suez Canal, has been released by the National Archives.
The minutes, handwritten by Cabinet Secretary Sir Norman Brook, show how ministers scrambled to arrange a cover-up following claims of military collusion with Israel and France.
According to the document, the biggest question worrying Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden at a key Cabinet discussion in October 1956 was whether Israel was prepared to press the trigger that would spark hostilities.
The Prime Minister, whose government had already approved the call-up of British army reservists and prepared the groundwork for war, was in a state of high anxiety about Israel's willingness to take on the Egyptians.
Such an attack was seen as a pretext for British and French forces to step in, supposedly to stop fighting between Israel and Egypt but in effect to seize the canal from the increasingly pro-Soviet government of Gamel Abdel Nasser.
According to Sir Norman's notes, released after more than 50 years, ministerial doubts were reinforced when the Prime Minister said: "It now seems that Israel won't attack. We can't hold our military preparations for more than a week or two. A winter operation would not be satisfactory."
In fact, Israel had its own reasons for taking on Nasser's army.
Egyptian nationalisation of the canal meant that shipping towards or from Israel was blockaded and Egyptian-backed terrorists were launching regular attacks from the Sinai and the Gaza Strip.
British fretting over Israel's resolve proved groundless and the notes showed that ministers in London followed the progress of the Israeli campaign closely. With intelligence reports showing that the Israelis were doing well, the British Prime Minister - who just a few months earlier had declared that it was "appalling to have to fight with Israel versus the Arabs" - told the Cabinet on November 2 that the military position was "very satisfactory".
The Israelis, he said, "are tonight within 12 miles of Port Said, have won a tank battle near Ismalia (and) are opposite the Suez Canal."
Three days later the British made an assault on Port Said having called on the Israelis not to advance to within 10 miles of the canal. But, with the Americans refusing to back the attack, they were forced into a withdrawal. The political repercussions were devastating.
There were calls for an inquiry into whether the government had acted in collusion with Israel and France and President Nasser's image was taking on a heroic tinge in the public mind.
According to Sir Norman, rattled ministers gathered to discuss a plan for a cover-up. They were without doubt that the Prime Minister was suffering, according to the minutes, from "nervous exhaustion".
Sir Norman recorded Viscount David Eccles, the Minister of Works, asking his colleagues: "What line should we take on collusion?"
Minister of Labour and National Service Iain Macleod said that the evidence of collusion was "pretty shoddy. Could we not say [that] of course we knew of Israel's intentions and took precautions accordingly?"
However, he recommended that the government should also say there was "no prior agreement, no promises of territorial changes, and no incitement to Israel to attack."
A month later a still frail Sir Anthony Eden told Parliament: "To say that Her Majesty's Government were engaged in some dishonourable conspiracy is completely untrue - and I must emphatically deny it."

A new area college basketball season will tip off tonight.
A new era also will begin for the Edinboro men's program.
Longtime assistant Pat Cleary will coach his first game for the Fighting Scots today at 7 p.m. when Edinboro hosts Thiel in the season opener for area teams.
Cleary follows his former boss, Greg Walcavich, who retired in March. Walcavich led the Scots to a 430-251 record in 24 seasons. Edinboro won three PSAC titles and made six trips to the NCAA Division II tournament under Walcavich.
Edinboro closed the 2012-13 season with an 18-10 record and advanced to the PSAC quarterfinals.
The Scots welcome back a pair of talented seniors in 6-foot 9-inch center Bryan Theriot and 6-foot 8-inch forward Johnathan Logan. Theriot averaged 18.1 points and 8.9 rebounds per game and earned first-team all-PSAC West honors. Logan made 71-of-192 3-pointers and averaged 10.3 points per game.
Thiel, a Division III program, finished 14-10 last season, but the Tomcats are a young team who lost their top six scorers from 2012-13. Thiel has no seniors on its roster and will look for leadership from sophomore guard Khari Bess, who led the Tomcats with 40 steals as a freshman.
Edinboro beat Thiel 88-66 last season and leads the all-time series 30-10.

I tried it a while ago cold turkey, and had major headaches for 2-3 days. It was miserable. I slid back into my routine shortly afterward, and I'm keeping it to 3 cups a day most of the time. I think I'll cut that to 2 without much trouble, one in the morning and then my 2:30pm cup.
I think that even if I didn't get the headaches I'd still drink coffee. It's not that I notice an energy boost or anything, I just really like having a cup of coffee in the morning. It's yummy.
I've cut out all bread, pasta, rice, cereal, milk, peanuts, peanut butter, chocolate bars, chips and dip, nachos, chicken fingers, garlic toast, potatoes, beans, and almost all the alcohol from my diet this year. I am not fucking giving up my coffee too.

HACKETTSTOWN — A truck driver from Florida was hit by a car early yesterday when he tried to cross a busy road, police said.
Aleksandr Vasilievich, 57, had been driving south on Route 517 near Oak Street when he stopped his tractor-trailer, got out and walked across the busy road, police said in a news release today.
Vasilievich was struck by a 2006 Ford Taurus driven by Robert Schaake, 74, of Allamuchy Township.
Hackettstown Police are still investigating why Vasilievich left his vehicle and walked into the northbound lane.
An update on his condition was not immediately available, but police said he had injuries throughout his body yesterday and was transported to Morristown Medical Center.
Police and the Hackettstown Rescue Squad responded to the scene at 7:16 a.m. and the accident closed Route 517 in both directions for approximately an hour.

OpenOffice Portable in Version 3.1
The portable version of the OpenOffice suite is now available in version 3.1.
OpenOffice Portable 3.1, like its predecessor, serves as an on-the-go office application and can be started via USB stick without installation. However, this works with 3.1 over Windows with Python only, although Linux has a workaround using Wine. The new portable OpenOffice is, unfortunately, more geared toward transitioners between the Linux and Windows worlds.
Upgrading from a previous Portable version requires downloading the new version, unpacking it on the storage media and removing the old one. The preferences and macros of the older version can be copied from PortableOpenOffice\settings to OpenOfficePortable\Data\settingsand thus preserved. This method also applies to users who want to activate their favorite OpenOffice settings on Portable, which means copying the directory contents from \Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\ to OpenOfficePortable\Data\settings\.
Download of OpenOffice Portable 3.1 is available from de.openoffice.org (website in German) or via Bittorrent tracker.

Then Jerome, Howard's older son, falls for Victoria, the stunning daughter of the right-wing icon Monty Kipps, and the two families find themselves thrown together in a beautiful corner of America, enacting a cultural and personal war against the background of real wars that they barely register. An infidelity, a death, and a legacy set in motion a chain of events that sees all parties forced to examine the unarticulated assumptions which underpin their lives. How do you choose the work on which to spend your life? Why do you love the people you love? Do you really believe what you claim to? And what is the beautiful thing, and how far will you go to get it?
Set on both sides of the Atlantic, Zadie Smith's third novel is a brilliant analysis of family life, the institution of marriage, intersections of the personal and political, and an honest look at people's deceptions. It is also, as you might expect, very funny indeed.
"Oh happy day when a writer as gifted as Zadie Smith fulfills her early promise with a novel as accomplished, substantive and penetrating as On Beauty. It's a thing of beauty indeed. In tackling grown-up issues of marriage, adultery, race, class, liberalism and aesthetics, she thrillingly balances engaging ideas with equally engaging characters. As good as she is with big ideas, Smith is even stronger at capturing family dynamics, the heartbreak of broken trust as well as the lovely connections between siblings. —The Los Angeles Times Book Review
"In this sharp, engaging satire, beauty's only skin-deep, but funny cuts to the bone." —Kirkus Reviews
"Smith's specialty is her ability to render the new world, in its vibrant multiculturalism, with a kind of dancing, daring joy. . . . Her plots and people sing with life. . . . One of the best of the year, a splendid treat. " —Chicago Tribune
"On Beauty is a rollicking satire . . . a tremendously good read." —San Francisco Chronicle

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Two months after touching off controversy by asking both Science and Nature to publish only abbreviated versions of new research on the H5N1 avian flu virus, members of the U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) said they are working to develop a dual-use policy that balances the desire to spread scientific knowledge to researchers with the need to keep it away from people or groups with evil in mind.
In a statement published Jan. 31 in both journals, the 22 NSABB members said they recently discussed asking the scientific community to self-impose a moratorium on broad communication of the results of experiments showing enhanced virulence or transmissibility of the influenza A/H5N1 virus and other dangerous microbes.
"This moratorium would run until consensus is reached on the balance that must be struck between academic freedom and protecting the greater good of humankind from potential danger," the NSABB members wrote. "With proper diligence and rapid achievement of a consensus on a proper path forward, this could have little detrimental effect on scientific progress but significant effect on diminishing risk."
While H5N1 primarily strikes avian species to date, the World Health Organization has reported that half of the 573 people who developed the disease after coming into contact with infected birds have died.
NSABB said a parallel existed for a self-imposed scientific moratorium: In the 1970s, when recombinant DNA technologies were perfected, concerns about their risk prompted scientists to withhold information about them at the 1975 Asilomar Conference, until they could develop guidance for safe and responsible conduct of such research.
"We believe that this is another Asilomar-type moment for public-health and infectious-disease research that urgently needs our attention," the NSABB members concluded.
NSABB drew criticism from some scientists when it requested in November that Science delete details regarding both scientific methodology and specific viral mutations for a genetically engineered H5N1, based on research led by Ron Fouchier, Ph.D., of the Rotterdam-based Erasmus Medical Center. The advisory board made a similar request concerning data in a study set to be published in Nature and led by Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Tokyo and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
While NSABB lacks power to censor the two journals or other publications, the advisory board said it recommended the research not be published in an open forum because "there was significant potential for harm in fully publishing these results and that the harm exceeded the benefits of publication."
"Our concern is that publishing these experiments in detail would provide information to some person, organization or government that would help them to develop similar mammal-adapted influenza A/H5N1 viruses for harmful purposes," the advisory board wrote. "We believe that as scientists and as members of the general public, we have a primary responsibility 'to do no harm' as well as to act prudently and with some humility as we consider the immense power of the life sciences to create microbes with novel and unusually consequential properties," the NSABB members said in their latest statement.
"Although scientists pride themselves on the creation of scientific literature that defines careful methodology that would allow other scientists to replicate experiments, we do not believe that widespread dissemination of the methodology in this case is a responsible action," they added.
On Jan. 20, Drs. Kawaoka, Fournier, and Adolfo Garcia-Sastre of Mount Sinai School of Medicine said they agreed on a voluntary 60-day pause on research into H5N1 viruses leading to viruses more transmissible in mammals.
"In addition, no experiments with live H5N1 or H5 HA reassortant viruses already shown to be transmissible in ferrets will be conducted during this time. We will continue to assess the transmissibility of H5N1 influenza viruses that emerge in nature and pose a continuing threat to human health," the scientists stated.
The scientists also proposed an international forum for the scientific community to discuss, and agree on how to publish results of their research: "We recognize that we and the rest of the scientific community need to clearly explain the benefits of this important research and the measures taken to minimize its possible risks."

Choi Going for Two in a Row
K.J. Choi is returning to the PGA Tour after taking last week off to return to his native South Korea. Two weeks ago, the 41-year-old won arguably the biggest of his eight career titles when he edged David Toms in the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.
But Texas is his home now and Choi is back in action this week in the $6.5 million HP Byron Nelson Classic. The event tees off Thursday at TPC Four Seasons in Irving.
On Tuesday, Choi sat down with reporters and discussed his promising season and chances to another victory this week.
MODERATOR: We would like to welcome K.J. Choi to the media room. He is currently ranked 7th in the FedEx Cup standings, and is just coming off that thrilling victory at The Players Championship. Just talk about being back in Dallas.
K.J. CHOI: Yeah. We just got back from Korea last night. It's good to be back home. I feel good right now, and a little bit tired this morning, but you know, knowing that there's a lot of fans, local fans waiting for me to see me play this week, you know, it kind of gives me something to -- motivates me to play. You know, the Byron Nelson tournament being a hometown tournament for me since I live here now, it's going to be very exciting, more so because it's the first time I think I'm playing it in four years, and I just hope to play well this week.
MODERATOR: And K.J., talk a little bit about your win at The Players Championship, and also we'd like to add that K. J. donated $200,000 of his earnings through the K.J. Choi Foundation to assist with the tornado victims in the southeastern United States. If you could comment about that.
K.J. CHOI: Yeah. Jacksonville is a special meaning for me because it's the first place that I moved to from Korea when I earned my pro card back in 2000. So to win a tournament in a place where I lived before has a special meaning. You know, it was a very exciting tournament to the very last hole. You know, and playing with David Toms, you know, I felt very bad for him, but you know, I guess God just chose me on that day; and it was very special. I mean I've always wanted to do something special in Jacksonville area. And regarding the donation, there's a lot of things that have happened in the past few weeks, not only in the U. S., but all around the world. But I just -- you know, despite all the excitement that was going on in the past week personally for me, once the tournament was over, you know, when I had a little bit of time to grab a moment and think, you know, I remembered that the tornado had hit the southeastern region, and I just came up with the thought of, you know, helping them because so many good things have happened to me, and I wanted to do something in return for those states that suffered because they do need a lot of help over there.
MODERATOR: And before we open it up for questions with K.J., talk a little about the K.J. Choi Invitational that will be held in October.
K.J. CHOI: Yeah. We made the announcement in Korea yesterday. This is something -- this is a big thing that I've always wanted to do for -- ever since I started out on the PGA Tour. I remember my first tournament ever playing here was Jack's tournament at Memorial when he invited me back in 1999. And what I remember is that I was just blown away with not only how the tournament was set up, but more so actually witnessing how -- it was not just the tournament people, but how the local people, the local citizens, the volunteers were part of the tournament, the local people for the tournament, the charities, and that really -- I was very impressed with that. And ever since then I thought to myself that if I ever had the opportunity to have a tournament on my own, this is what I want to emulate, you know, something to this caliber, depth of tournament where you have not only the players participating, the sponsors, but also the local community being part of it. And I want to give back to the community by holding the tournament. I just want it to be a special event for the people that -- where the tournament is being held. And I was fortunate enough timing wise. You know, this was actually in the plan about three years ago. It was just a talk between me and some of the people I know. But it got to the point after the third championship win that we felt that it was the right time to really make this -- to push with this idea.
And we spoke to the Korean tour, also the Asian tour, and it would help us, IMG agents for media. We finally came up with a date and that's how it came about. So I'm really proud of it. And I want it to be a tournament where all the players are able to participate and feel proud that they're being -- they're playing in a tournament that not only is special for them, but also for the community where it's being held.
Q. K.J., you mentioned the Players Champion a minute ago and how it was a tough loss for David Toms. What did you think about seeing David rebound the way he did and coming back at Colonial and winning that event?
K.J. CHOI: Yeah. I first want to congratulate David for his performance last week after what he went through. You know, I feel like that, you know, I'm not surprised at all that David pulled it off because in golf, you know, it's really -- you know, players -- as players we tend to lose rhythm, focus by one shot, because of that one shot. And we can also gain all the confidence in the world because of that one shot. Unfortunately, at the week of The Players Championship, David, it was just one bad putt that he had, I mean that cost him the tournament. But overall he played a superb tournament the whole week. God just happened to choose me on that day. He could've chosen David, but He ended up choosing me. And I'm grateful for that. And it was that one shot, that one putt that David missed.
Otherwise, I mean his shots all through the week, his course management, his mindset, his distance control, everything was perfect. And I don't think he won last week by chance. I mean it was definitely due. I think for him losing the tournament, The Players Championship wasn't the end of the world. I think he gained a lot of confidence during that week, and I think he said that as well. And I think that's what enabled him to win last week because he had -- all the factors to win was there for him to win.
Q. What does this tournament mean to you and what does Mr. Nelson mean to you?
K.J. CHOI: Yeah. Mr. Nelson was someone -- there's obviously a lot of player legends that have made big names for themselves in Korea as well. But I'm just thankful to be able to play in a tournament like this. Mr. Nelson was a true gentleman that represented the game of golf very well. He gets a lot of respect, and I respect him very much. This is the first time I've played since I moved to Dallas from Houston. So it also has special meaning in that sense. Just playing the course today, I noticed the course is in superb condition. And it would mean a lot to me. This is the first PGA tournament I've played since the win in Jacksonville. And you know, I'm physically, honestly, very tired right now, but if I have a shot to win this tournament, it would be very special, not only because it's Mr. Nelson's tournament, but also it's a tournament where I've wanted to play well. And since I announced my own tournament in Korea, to win a tournament with Mr. Nelson's name in it would be very special to me.
Q. (Indiscernible).
K.J. CHOI: Yeah. To even think about what he did back then, you know, just with the equipment that they had back then versus the equipment that we play with right now, I mean you could correct me on this right now, but was it two-day tournament back then versus four-day tournaments? Was it four days back then, too? Well, regardless, the fact that he was competing with his fellow -- the top players in his era, for him to win as many tournaments as he did, it's just, you know, it's unthinkable to even try to repeat that in this day and age right now. And I think it's really virtually impossible to do what he did.
And you know, I'm just thankful -- I feel very happy to be playing a tournament that, you know, that's named after him. I still remember him when he was alive, you know, after the tournament, you know, he would shake players' hands. He'd look at me and he was -- he's very dear to me and he treated me with very -- treated me very kindly, said very nice things to me. So I still remember those special moments. Although I've never spent a long time with him, just the short moments that we shared was very special for me. And you know, I'm a grown man, but he's still a role model for me. He's someone that I want to be like, and to be able to have this press conference here at his tournament feels very special to me, too. So I feel very proud of myself for having done what I did to be able to hold this press conference.
MODERATOR: K.J., we appreciate your time, and good luck this week.
K.J. CHOI: I'll try.

In the driveway of his home in Virginia Beach, Va., Navy Lt. Jeffrey Zaun's black Ford Mustang convertible sits just where he left it in August. A few days ago, hearing that Zaun had been taken prisoner after ejecting from his A-6E Intruder attack plane somewhere over Kuwait or Iraq, a few little girls from the neighborhood hung a clutch of yellow ribbons from columns on the front of the small, wood frame house. At a local tavern, Zaun's friends and Navy buddies reminisced about the earnest, friendly bachelor who moved into this military ghetto three years ago. They know they will probably not be seeing Jeff Zaun any time soon. "Just put down that Becky misses him a lot," says a forlorn-looking bartender at the Ready Room, a hangout for pilots from nearby Oceana Naval Air Station. "He was a very fine gentleman."
They hit with a nasty report and a sickening aftershock—three brief, wobbly video clips from Iraqi television. In stark close-up on the screen were images of three captured U.S. fighter pilots, their faces swollen and battered, their voices slurred and their eyes glazed. Paraded like prizes of war, Marine Lt. Col. Clifford Acree, 39, Marine Chief Warrant Officer Guy Hunter Jr., 46, and Zaun, 28, became show-and-tell exhibits for Saddam Hussein—and America's first gulf war POWs. Their haunting stares, hinting of fear, anger, confusion and pain, were a blunt reminder that the gulf conflict is not some game to be played out with high-tech computer-controlled missiles and supersonic jets. It is war. And war is ugly.
Like millions of other viewers, the families of the captured men watched the interviews with anguish and anger but also with a sense of relief, since their loved ones, previously assumed missing, were at least still alive. Military officials requested that, for the captives' protection, the families not speak publicly, and for the most part they cooperated. But the questions they asked were universal: Is he hurt? Is he being tortured? Will he survive?
In his small office on the sylvan campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., James Bond Stockdale is a stranger to the captives and their families—yet he understands their plight better, perhaps, than most people. Twenty-five years ago Stock-dale was a Navy commander in Vietnam. He was flying a combat mission when his A-4 attack plane was hit just south of Hanoi. "I was just pulling out of a dive when I heard a noise I hadn't expected—the boom-boom-boom of a 57-mm. gun," says the 67-year-old veteran. "All the red lights came on, my control system was going out—I could barely keep that plane from flying into the ground." He managed to eject and was skimming over the jungle under his parachute when suddenly, "[I started] hearing rifle fire, then the whine of bullets." In an instant he assessed the state of the war—and the likely length of his looming captivity. "I said to myself, 'Five years.' "
It turned out to be 2,714 days—more than seven years before he saw freedom or his family again. Captured first by civilians, Stockdale had it bad from the beginning. "They are right on top of me," he recalled in his 1984 book In Love and War, "the town roughnecks, running pell-mell from the south, carrying clubs and screaming.... Every kid has to show off, gets his licks in as I am pummeled, bashed, rolled up in a ball. They grab my arms and legs and twist and kick, and then somebody zonks me over the head, and I start to get woozy."
A few days later, Stockdale, a leg and shoulder broken and afire with pain, was carried almost 100 miles north to the North Vietnamese capital, to the infamous Hoa Lo prison, known as the Hanoi Hilton. There he endured torture both physical and mental, seemingly endless solitary confinement and at times self-inflicted "survival" wounds. Once, to avoid having to perform in a propaganda film, he repeatedly hit his own face with a stool, causing such bruising and swelling that the North Vietnamese would not film him. Another time, facing the threat of severe torture, he broke a window in his cell and used the shards of glass to cut his wrists. "I've got to go on the offensive," he remembers thinking. "I can't just wait for the ax to fall and then be sorry about it." A jailer found Stockdale bleeding and quickly bound his wounds.
Stockdale won't speculate about the sort of treatment the downed American fliers may have already endured in Baghdad. But this he can say: "Fear is rampant." Early on, he says, "You're disoriented, you're hurt. You're alone, and you start to feel very, very despondent. In three days you can be reduced to a whimpering, confused animal."
That, he suspects, is what Baghdad hopes will happen to the prisoners. "They display the captives for the Iraqi people, to show them what the enemy looks like, to show he is repentant, downcast, shamefaced...probably a coward. They parade these guys around the city and say, 'Here's one of those assholes. Now look at him. We're going to make mincemeat of him and all his ilk.' " To resist their captors, says Stockdale, now a senior research fellow at Stanford's conservative Hoover Institution, the POWs—trained to be fierce, independent warriors—must now learn to rely on each other. "The No. 1 personality trait that spelled disaster and heartbreak and failure was not trusting in your [fellow captives]," Stockdale says. "The highest value in prison isn't God and country, it's the guy next door. You've got to stick together. It's all you've got."
For the POWs' families, isolated and frustratingly uninformed, hope is all they can cling to. In middle-class Cherry Hill. N.J., Marjorie and Calvin Zaun, Jeffrey's mother and father, listened anxiously to his videotaped statement. His mother was disturbed by the sound of her son's voice, "high-pitched and tense" as he denounced America's leaders. As Zaun's boyhood friend Robert Kinsella put it, "Anybody who knows Jeff knows that under normal circumstances he wouldn't talk like that. He's behind enemy lines and he's going to do and say exactly what they tell him to." And still, his mother took comfort in seeing even Jeffs battered face. "I'm smiling for the first time, because he's alive," she told a reporter, her eyes filled with tears. Pacing the living room floor, Calvin Zaun pounded his fist into his palm, reminding himself that he had raised his son into a man. "He's alive, he's alive," he repeated. "He's a strong sonofabitch. He's a survivor."
