Plans to build a brand new hospital for Berwick are taking shape, with construction work due to begin in autumn 2015.
An £18million budget has been secured to construct a new "fit for purpose" infirmary to replace the current structure in the centre of town.
Speaking to Berwick Civic Society last week, Paul Brayson, project manager for Northumberland Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, said designers were due to be appointed next month, and that Easter 2015 had been identified as the target date for a planning application to be submitted.
It is unclear whether the new building will house additional services to those currently on offer. But Mr Brayson stressed that a new building was "imperative" as the present Victorian structure was unfit for purpose with unsuitable areas, cramped space, little privacy, and not very green processes.
Fields at Berwick Academy had originally been identified as a possible site for the new hospital. But with the secretary of state dragging his heals over approving sale of the land, and feedback from the public stating a centre of town option was preferable, it was decided to rebuild at the current site.
The building process, which will be done in phases, will be a repeated sequence of demolition and build, possibly beginning in the under-used northern section of the hospital. Most, if not all, of the reconstructed infirmary will be new build.
A spokeswoman for Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust said: "We remain fully committed to building a new hospital for Berwick which will benefit the local community for many years to come.
"We know local people are very keen to see this progress and we are working hard to take the project forward."

Paying reverence to Spielberg
By Ann Hornaday
Thursday, June 9, 2011
In "Super 8," J.J. Abrams's ardent love letter to the Steven Spielberg films that inspired him as a kid, a chubby would-be director named Charles (Riley Griffiths) keeps running around his small Ohio home town, framing its cul-de-sacs and tract homes with his hands and calling for "more production value."
Charles is shooting his own zombie movie — on the Kodak home movie film stock that gives "Super 8" its name — and he has commandeered his adolescent friends to work on his cast and crew, already evincing the ambitious vision and bullheaded energy that define directors at their most gifted and tyrannical.
Even at their most meta, the scenes of Charles's movie-within-a-movie turn out to be the best parts of "Super 8," which takes more than a few pages from such Spielberg-directed-or-produced classics as "E.T.," "The Goonies" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
Set in 1979, this is a pop-culture nostalgia trip that feels as if it's been beamed from a sweeter, more innocent time, when youngsters could tear around on bikes all night without texting home and when the height of technological innovation was a clunky, cassette-playing Sony Walkman.
"Kids walking around with their own stereos, just what we need," the town sheriff says at one point. "It's a slippery slope, my friend." That's about as winking as it gets in "Super 8," in which Abrams reverentially re-creates the spirit of early Spielberg to a spot-on fault.
While Charles and his team are filming a nighttime scene at a train station, they inadvertently record a horrific accident that ends up drawing the attention of the U.S. Air Force. Charles's makeup/sound/special-effects guy, Joe Lamb (Joel Courtney), is convinced that something is afoot, between the mysterious military ops, an electrical grid gone haywire and a epidemic of missing dogs. As he tries to get to the bottom of it, he finds support in Alice Dainard (Elle Fanning), the zombie movie's leading lady, whom he has long crushed on from afar.
Joe and Alice's relationship unfolds with wistful, tender gentleness in "Super 8," which juxtaposes Joe's tentative romantic forays with his far-thornier dealings with his recently widowed father, Jack (Kyle Chandler). Ultimately it falls to Jack, a square-jawed deputy sheriff, to quell the rising hysteria as the town is invaded by a monster that, in the best tradition of Spielberg (who produced his own homage here), remains unseen through most of the movie.
Just what and who the monster is forms the central question of "Super 8." But despite Abrams's best efforts to ratchet up the tension, the mystery never takes compelling hold, a weakness that becomes especially clear in the movie's anti-climax of an ending. At that point, the already thin story gets wrapped up so neatly that viewers will scarcely have time to process its plot holes. (What were those little white boxes for, anyway?)
Like the adolescent director ordering Joe and Alice around, Abrams has taken note of what made Spielberg's movies work back in the day — adventure, wonder and high emotional stakes, with an isolated young protagonist who overcomes adult cynicism to make empathic contact with an alien being. But all too often the plot feels calculated rather than organic, the result of a time-tested formula rather than genuine innovation. (It doesn't help that Abrams has a tendency to move and twirl his camera, inching up so close that the action is rendered dizzyingly incoherent.)
The times when "Super 8" comes most to life are when Charles and his minions are shooting their zombie movie — including some very funny scenes of guerrilla filmmaking as Charles quickly rewrites his script in order to leverage the ongoing military operation for his own backdrop.
Bursting with verve, humor and resourceful grit, these are also the sequences when the otherworldly Fanning emerges, not just as a fetching ingenue but as a true movie star. As she proves in her first big scene as Alice doing her first big scene, it takes a terrific actress to play a terrific actress who doesn't know she's terrific.
Just moments after Alice transfixes the boys with her line reading, Abrams unleashes the kind of spectacular set piece of hurtling metal and exploding fireballs that Charles could stage only in his wildest dreams. A testament both to Abrams's own roots as an amateur filmmaker and to how far he's come as a Hollywood player, "Super 8" succeeds best as a valentine to first movies, first loves and the enchantment that ensues when they intersect. That's production value worthy of even Charles's exacting standards.
Contains intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, profanity and some drug use.

We field more than a few complaints here at The Telegraph. But the one I hear most often comes from politicians who don't like the pictures we print of them.
Forget for a moment that I generally have nothing to do with those pictures, or that the camera does not lie. But I have spent a significant amount of time the past few years negotiating between local politicians, our photographers and our layout folks over which mugshot of a politician is going to go in the paper.
Today, though, took the cake. Veronica Brinson is running for mayor, or will be if the board of elections certifies enough of the signatures she collected to get her on the ballot as an independent. I took a mug shot of her. She wanted to submit her own picture instead, though, and did so. Five times. Seven if you count the fact that she emailed one picture three times.
This is the one she ended up wanting us to run:
And this is the one I took, which she didn't want to run:
Asked a colleague of mine: "Does she know she looks stoned (in her picture)?"

Singapore KrisFlyer Sweet Spot
Singapore Airlines' award chart has an amazing sweet spot: Hawaii and Central America are in the same region!
Flights "within" the Hawaii/Central America region are only 35,000 Singapore miles roundtrip in economy and 60,000 miles roundtrip in business class.
That 35,000-Singapore-miles award would cost 80,000 United miles. That 60,000-Singapore-miles award would cost 140,000 United miles.
Singapore is a Star Alliance member, so you can fly United flights on these awards, and Singapore never collects fuel surcharges on United flights.
Singapore miles are easy to get, since Singapore is a 1:1 transfer partner of Ultimate Rewards and Membership Rewards.
You Don't Live in Singapore, Hawaii, or Central America. So What?
The primary beneficiaries of the Hawaii/Central America mega-region on the Singapore award chart are people who live in the continental United States. Mainlanders can use this sweet spot to get all the flights for one trip and half the flights for two other trips for a bargain price.
I priced out what amounts to a roundtrip from Denver to Honolulu plus two one ways between Central America and Denver for 35,000 total Singapore miles and about $177. That's one complete roundtrip and halves of two others for less than what United charges for just the roundtrip to Hawaii.
The award is 80,000-United-miles-worth of flights for 35,000 Singapore miles.
- How does this award fit together?
- Who can take advantage of this trick routing?
- What are the routing rules for Singapore awards?
- How can you get Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer miles?
- How can you book a Singapore award?
Singapore Routing Rules
Full Singapore Award Routing Rules
Relevant rules:
- Singapore Airlines allows six segments per award.
- Singapore allows one free stopover per roundtrip award and up to three additional stopovers for $100 each.
- Singapore does not allow a stopover on one way awards.
- Singapore allows one open jaw per roundtrip award.
The Five Parts of This Award
This award between Central America and Hawaii can go in either direction. The award has five parts and four to six segments.
Option 1–Two Central America Vacations, One Hawaii Vacation:
- One way from Central America to your home airport.
- Stopover at your home airport.
- Roundtrip from your home airport to Hawaii.
- Stopover at your home airport.
- One way from your home airport to Central America.
Option 2–Two Hawaii Vacations, One Central America Vacation:
- One way from Hawaii to your home airport.
- Stopover at your home airport.
- Roundtrip from your home airport to Central America.
- Stopover at your home airport.
- One way from your home airport to Hawaii.
In either case, the stopovers at your home airport which separate the three trips can be as long as you'd like as long as all the flights are flown within 331 days of ticketing.
Also in either case, the award includes two half trips. You have to fill in the rest of the airfare with separate awards or cash tickets.
Variation on Option 1 to Save $100 but Lose a One Way to Central America
- One way from Central America to your home airport.
- Stopover at your home airport.
- Roundtrip from your home airport to Hawaii.
- Have the award continue from your home airport to Central America within 24 hours of landing at your home airport. Do not fly these dummy legs.
This saves $100 by cutting out the second stopover. You must add on the unflown dummy legs to Central America to get the cheaper price for awards "within" the Hawaii/Central America region.
A similar variation is possible on Option 2 to save $100 but lose a one way to Hawaii.
Where Can You Live and Take Advantage?
You only get three segments in each direction between Central America and Hawaii and your home airport has to be on the path of those three segments.
All United hubs in North America fit that rule as do all the cities with direct Avianca or Copa flights to Central America. Full list:
- Newark
- Chicago
- Houston
- Denver
- Los Angeles
- San Francisco
- Washington-Dulles
- Boston
- Fort Lauderdale
- Miami
- Las Vegas
- New York-JFK
- Tampa
- Dallas/Fort Worth
- Orlando
How to Book the Award
You'll be using Singapore Airline miles to book flights on its Star Alliance partners, United, Avianca, and Copa. The easiest place to search for United flights is united.com. Singapore phone agents will have access to all Saver award space you see when searching united.com without signing in to your United account. (Logging in will show extra Saver space that is available only to people with a United credit card or elite status. Singapore can't book that space.)
Like always, write down the flight numbers, dates, and cabins, so you can feed them to the Singapore customer service representative when you call to book your ticket.
Example Award
To illustrate the award booking process, I priced out the following economy award, assuming a home airport of Denver:
- San Jose, Costa Rica to Denver in July 2014
- Denver to Honolulu in September 2014
- Honolulu to Denver in September 2014
- Denver to Panama City in April 2015
(Not included: the flights to San Jose to start the Costa Rican vacation and the flights home from the Panamanian vacation. Those must be booked separately.)
That works out to a ten day vacation to Hawaii and two trips to Central America nine months apart.
I learned from Wikipedia that Denver to Honolulu and Panama City can be flown as direct flights, but San Jose to Denver requires two segments. That means that my award will use at least five out of the six allowed segments on a Singapore award.
The Search
I started searching in chronological order because all sections of the award seemed equally easy to find.
Award space was available next month from Costa Rica to Denver in economy on a few dates.
Interestingly United has a single flight number from San Jose to Denver, so even though this is actually two takeoffs, landings, and planes, Singapore would count it as only one of the six possible segments.
For the other three parts of the award, I specifically searched for nonstop flights by checking the appropriate box on the search screen.
Denver to Honolulu has widely available economy award space in September.
The return was equally easy, so I quickly had the ten day vacation to Honolulu in the middle of the award.
The last part of the award was an April 2015 one way from Denver to Panama City. Award space is open in April and widely available in May.
For each flight I found on united.com, I noted the date, flight number, and cabin.
Calling Singapore
We're flying United and we're searching united.com, but we have to call Singapore to book since we're using Singapore miles.
Singapore's US call center is open 24 hours a day. The number is: (213) 404-0301. There is no telephone booking fee. Always clarify with the agent whether she's quoting a price in US dollars or Singapore dollars.
As always, if an agent cannot book a flight for you or prices it at a higher price then you are expecting, simply hang up and call back for another representative.
After feeding the agent the flights I'd found, she quoted a price of 35,000 Singapore miles plus $177. That represented $77 in government taxes and $100 for the second stopover. Singapore does not collect fuel surcharges on United flights.
Value of the Award
United charges 22,500 miles each way between the mainland and Hawaii and 17,500 miles each way between the mainland and Central America. The award I priced out for 35,000 Singapore miles is therefore "worth" 80,000 United miles. (You could actually book it for fewer than 80,000 United miles with free one way techniques.)
Singapore Airlines charges 17,500 miles each way between the mainland and Hawaii or Central America. That makes the above award "worth" 70,000 Singapore miles, and we got it for half that.
How to get Singapore KrisFlyer Miles
Singapore is a 1:1 transfer partner of Ultimate Rewards and Membership Rewards.
You can transfer Ultimate Rewards from Chase at a 1:1 ratio in 1,000 point increments. The Sapphire Preferred, Ink Plus, and Ink Bold all have a big enough sign up bonus to book the awards in this post.
Be aware that this point transfer may take up to two business days, unlike the normal instant transfer to other Ultimate Rewards partners.
2) You can earn Membership Rewards on any Platinum, Gold, or EveryDay card from American Express. The Platinum Card from American Express for Mercedes-Benz is offering 50,000 bonus points after spending $3k in three months.
Membership Rewards transfer at a 1:1 ratio in increments of 1,000. FlyerTalkers report the transfer taking 12-48 hours for them to post. I've noticed if you transfer points before 10 AM Pacific Time, the points post at exactly midnight that night.
Singapore Airlines has placed Hawaii and Central America in one region.
If you live in the continental United States, you can use this fact to combine Hawaiian and Central American vacations onto a single award for the same price as booking either vacation separately.
Singapore miles are easy to rack up since the airline is a 1:1 transfer partner of Chase and American Express.
Hopefully booking a similar award to the one laid out in this post will be easy for you. If not, hire the MileValue Award Booking Service to book your dream trip (or trips in this case!) for you.

The Chase Sapphire Reserve comes with 100,000 bonus Ultimate Rewards after spending $4,000 in the first three months that you can transfer to United miles, Singapore miles, Southwest points, British Airways miles, or use for 1.5 cents each toward any flight, hotel, or car rentals.
Plus the card offers $300 in credits toward any travel purchase each calendar year, which is $600 in your first 12 months of cardmembership, $100 toward Global Entry, and worldwide lounge access. Basically it's the best credit card ever, even with a $450 annual fee.
this is pretty cool but i am surprised they don't have any max milage rules? i would think that going from Hawaii to central america via EWR is a major detour…
Does Singapore charge close in booking fees? And can you make changes to dates of later flights both before and after the trip is underway? Are there fees for that? Thanks!
$20 change, $30 cancellation, $75 for changes/cancellation within 24 hours of departure, no close in ticketing fee, no changes after travel commences. see http://www.singaporeair.com/jsp/cms/en_UK/ppsclub_krisflyer/termsconditions-kf.jsp
and http://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/ppsclub-krisflyer/krisflyer-fees/
I was wondering if this also works within the US.
For example, MCO-DEN(home airport. stopover)-HNL-DEN?
Awards within the United States cannot have stopovers according to the rules on Singapore's website. However, it's possible you can get a stopover like that since Hawaii is a separate region. Test it out for us.
Hey Scott, what is the best way to take advantage of this if you live in Mexico or Central America and want to make a stop or stops in the US on the way to Hawaii
Like how he showed in the post, but even easier as you already live in Mexico or Central America?
Hi Scott, how would one get a first class routing considering that probably not all segments would be available in first class but would open up at later dates. Can this be done? Would it require paying a bunch of change fees? I'm interested in your thoughts on this…
First of all, all the premium cabin flights will be in recliners (with a few exceptions of flat beds to Hawaii.) The flights to Hawaii will be called First and the flights to Central America will be called Business even though both are in the best cabin on a two-cabin flight.
With the semantics out of the way, you will pay the Business Class price of 60,000 Singapore miles roundtrip if even a single leg is in Business or First. Every time you make a change to a cabin will cost $20.
Great job. Southwest w/ companion pass to Mexico city starting November 2nd! Bam!
Awesome, JB!
Scott, is all of Mexico considered Central America on their chart? Just want to double check as your circle doesn't include Cabo. I too have the companion pass and would love to use it beginning and end. Can all the legs be flown on United product for this price? Is there any way for me to confirm availability before transferring my UR points?
Shane, referring to their chart (link below), you can see that Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean, and all of Central America are included in this region.
No idea about companion tickets.
It looks like they classify the Caribbean as part of Hawaii/Central America too, so could you do this with trips including the Caribbean and Hawaii instead of Central America and Hawaii? Like AUA>ORD / ORD>HNL>ORD/ ORD>STT?
I am all sorts of confused now. I called to make an award booking and it did not price out at all as imagined. Basically did MSP-AUA-MSP with a oneway later to SFO and it priced out at 25,000 miles per ticket. The agent also said the cap was 8 segments.
Should cost 35k, so book it at 25k happily.
[…] we can get amazing value from the fact that the Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer program considers Hawaii to be part of the same region as Central America. We can also use this sweet spot for great value on travel to South America […]
[…] recently posted here about Hawaii being a sweet spot in Singapore Air's KrisFlyer program since it was coded as part […]
Another awesome award setup Scott. I'm trying to figure out a way to take advantage of it.
I'd love to fly the to/from HNL legs through IAD or EWR in their awesome business class product, but there is no business availability anytime in Dec/Jan/Feb, the months we'd like to go to Hawaii. Have you looked at those routes much in the past? Any chance the availability will open up?
Those routes have been barren in First Class for a long time. They tend to open up space within one week of departure.
[…] United States to Central America with free one ways to Hawaii […]
[…] are some amazing redemptions with Singapore miles like booking Singapore Suites, booking United flights to Central America with free one ways to Hawaii, and booking United flights to South America with free one ways to […]
It sounds like this will work very easily with for someone that lives in Chicago, correct? You need to just start and end your trip in the Caribbean/Mexico/Central America?
Is it possible to add an additional stopover in the United States in Florida as a vacation destination somehow? If so, would the total price of the ticket cost?
For example, can you use this method for the following itineraries? What would the cost be as a result of the stopovers?
Option 1 – home is Chicago
-Cancun to Chicago (extended stopover at home)
-Chicago to Hawaii (1 week in Hawaii)
-Hawaii to Chicago (extended stopover at home)
-Chicago to Florida (additional stopover added)
-Florida to Jamaica (final destination)
Option 2 – home is Chicago.
-Bahamas to Florida (vacation in Florida)
-Florida to Chicago (extended stopover at home)
-Chicago to Hawaii (vacation)
-Hawaii to Chicago (extended stopover at home)
-Chicago to Cancun (final destination or dummy leg)
All three work fine. Remember:
first stopover free. Second = $100. Third = $100.
Do you only get 6 segments regardless of the number of stopovers?
Or would the following itinerary work? (extension of my last post)
Option 3 – home is Chicago.
-Bahamas to Chicago (extended stopover at home)
-Chicago to Hawaii (vacation)
-Hawaii to Florida (vacation)
-Florida to Cancun (final destination or dummy leg)
Scott–can the open jaw be at the stopover? I have a vague recollection of Singapore not allowing that. So could you do HNL-BOS-stopover-CUN-BOS?
On your option 2, does "Hawaii" have to be the same? For example, can the first Hawaii trip be to Kauai and the 2nd to Maui?
That's fine. Hawaii doesn't have to be the same.
I just tried booking using LIH as origination and HNL (final destination) on the Hawaiian legs, and the CSR at Singapore stated it has to return to LIH…
Gotta love this game we play. HUCA! ticketed! LIH-SFO-SJD-SFO-HNL. 35k points pp and 1400 SPD total
Thanks Scott!
Awesome! Enjoy the trip.

G.2.d. If your itinerary includes bookings in different classes of service, the award level corresponding to the highest class will apply for the whole award ticket…kinda sucks.
-also, no open jaws at destination?
-add stopovers for $100ea but max connections is still 3?
"G.2.d. If your itinerary includes bookings in different classes of service, the award level corresponding to the highest class will apply for the whole award ticket…kinda sucks." Every program works like this.
-also, no open jaws at destination? open jaws are allowed
-add stopovers for $100ea but max connections is still 3? max segments is 3 per direction
[…] interest in having a trip to Costa Rica and another trip to Hawaii, take a look at this idea: http://milevalue.com/singapore-sweet…ntral-america/ If you want to use BA Avios, you can look for flights to SJO on US via PHX, or on AA via […]
Thanks Scott! This is awesome. Quick clarification question-
Could I use this to do:
one way from LAX-HON
one way from HON-Guatemala City
one way from Guatemala City-CLT
Wouldn't that only use one stopver and the openjaw on the way back to charlotte instead of LAX?
Is this a valid routing:
Or would I need to add a dummy leg at the end?
I don't know. Since no rules are published, it comes down to what can be ticketed. Let me know the results of your experiment.
I had to add a dummy leg on at the end to make it a full roundtrip back to Cancun. It ended up pricing out to 60k miles + $436 USD in Biz/1st Class, as there was no direct dummy LAX-CUN leg within 24 hours, so I had to add an additional $100 stopover. The SJU-LAX leg has a connection in PTY, so I would have exceeded the 6 segment maximum.
could not do an open-jaw?
start in CUN, finish in LAX?
or does OJ have to finish in same region as origin?
Is this route valid for 35 K Singapore miles?
MEX to LAX (April 2015)
LAX to KAUIA or HNL (stay 5 days)
Kauia or HNL – LAX (April 2015)
LAX to -LIMA (May or June 2015)
Thank you. Your blog is the one I look forward to every week, always very helpful and very savvy!
I don't live in one of the United hubs but was wondering if the following might work….
HNL-DEN-OMA (Stopover)
CUN-DEN (Stopover)-HNL
This keeps me at 6 segments and I just need to book a roundtrip from DEN at some point back to my home airport in OMA (Would likely make use of my Southwest Companion Pass for this). Even with the extra RT out of DEN this seems like it could be worth it!
Should work
When you call to book, do you have to explain whats the stopover, and whats the round trip or can I just feed them dates, airports, and flight numbers?
For example I would just give them this one by one:
1858hrs PTY>IAD CM488
545hrs IAD>IAH UA657
1000hrs IAH>HNL UA253
1535hrs HNL>IAD UA144
0545hrs IAD>IAH UA657
1015hrs IAH>BZE UA1408
Just feed flights and dates.
Has anyone run into "backtracking" rules? I am trying to do a Roundtrip from Los Angeles to Guatemala City with a stopover in Hawaii and they say I can't because I have to go back through the mainland to get from Hawaii to Guatemala.
I am moving to Guatemala and will be in LA, wanting to see friends in Hawaii on the way, and open jaw to CLT for a wedding in August.
Booking this award is impossible…
2x agents are telling me they cannot book this as one reward itinerary because open jaw is not allowed, and another agent i got to the LAX segment where they could not see the saver space that i am seeing on united (logged out)
Finally got an agent to book it and now they are trying to say HNL is a stopover as well even though it should be the destination. He is saying the system is coding BZE as the destination… no wonder award booking services charge a premium, this is a nightmare
Same issue here – a perfectly valid itin is not bookable with the agents right now. Lots of manufactured excuses….
does anyone else have problems with the call center audio as well? the audio starts skipping every 30-60 seconds and makes it nearly impossible to understand the agents.

[…] fly Singapore Suites, cheaper than United miles to book United flights to Europe, and offer two stopovers in addition to your destination on roundtrip […]
1. Are the domestic connections limited to 4 hours or do they allow longer or even 24 hours?
2. I was told the flights need to be operated by United and not something like United operated by Skywest dba'. Is this true? There are no DFW non stop out of usa. Are there any?
3. Is only one open jaw allowed or do they allow more than one?
1. On international awards, all connections can be 24 hours.
2. No, United Express–like your example–is fine.
3. One
I am trying to book the following thru Singapore Airlines and the customer service reps are saying I can't do it because of backtracking:
-Cancun to Chicago (ORD) – July 2015
-Stopover #1 (free) is in ORD.
-Chicago (ORD) to Honolulu. Then Honolulu back to Chicago(ORD).
-Stopover #2 (costs $100) is in ORD again.
-Chicago (ORD) to Nicaragua (MGA).
What backtracking? Each direction looks like a pretty straight line to me.
First, they told me that going to Nicaragua is backtracking because I would be flying past Cancun. I just got off the phone with them for the 5th time today, and they said that I can't do it because of this rule in their terms and conditions:
"g. Complimentary stopovers are not permitted in a purely domestic itinerary , or within the country of departure in an international itinerary."
You're not violating that rule. Your country of departure is Mexico, and you have no stopovers there.
That's what I keep telling them but they are not budging. So frustrated.
Success! I was FINALLY able to book my itinerary.
Just a note: It costs about $75 more in taxes, than if I would have booked thru United awards. I'm guessing this is because I added a "fare" component with the $100 stopover
Thanks for all this valuable info- a couple questions
#1- can you call Singapore before transfering miles from AMEX to make sure it prices out or do you have tp transfer first and take your chances
#2- when looking for flights on UA- do you have carte blanche for any flights shown or do you have to picj the saver flights versus the full price flights?
You can call and try to price it out first, but there's not a 100% guarantee, the the before and after agents will give the same price. You can only book United Saver award space with Singapore miles.
Finally after 6 phones calls, one of the reps completed my itinerary for 35,000 points.
CUN-EGE-DEN stopover in DEN
DEN-SFO-KOA destination in Kona
KOA-SFO, gotta find a flight from SFO back to DEN or if a saver award becomes available I just change.
SFO-SJD – Dummy leg to Los Cabo.
Pretty good deal, I get my flight back from CUN basically for free. I just have to find a cheap sfo-den flight.
I've read this mentioned in other blogs (Hawaii to Central America with Singapore miles), but never found one where there is actually an example of a booking! The other blogs just say it's awesome that you can do this, but never show an example, so thank you very much for this. This adds to a lot of other possibilities for me living in Hawaii.
This is super helpful! I'm confused about the first part of the trip. Costa Rica to Denver, do you have to buy a separate one way ticket from Denver to Costa Rica first and then fly back using United ? Do you have to go to the Costa Rica? What if you just want to do Denver to Hnl ?
If you just want Denver to Honolulu, check this out: http://www.milevalue.com/guide-book-united-flights-hawaii-singapore-krisflyer-miles/
I am thinking about going for something similar to "Variation on Option 1" in the post.
Does anyone know if I can change the dates for the later segements after I have already flown the first segement?
I know the partner change fee is only $20, but it is unclear if I can change the dates of the Hawaii trip after I have already flown from Central America to my home airport.

I'd use the Le Creuset Juicer to make a fresh drink..drinking boring water all day gets tiresome..I would cut up some strawberries, mint and juice 2 lemons using the Le Creuset juicer for a 2l of refreshing water!
Oh my word! I love Le Creuset! I'm actually in the process of saving up for one (or more, lol) of these. This Le Creuset Juicer will come very handy. I squeeze orange everyday for the hubby and preschooler in the morning. And for dinner (everynight O_o), both of them likes their water with a bit of lemon. I don't like sour fruit or drinks, but they are orange drinkers, and a lot of squeezing going on around here.
We have a lemon tree that has been giving us lads of lemons. I'd use the juice to juice them, in order to freeze the excess juice for later. Have tweeted the comp.
freshly squeezed lemon juice for lemonade, delicious!
I'd use it to threaten uncooperative lemons and limes in my kitchen. I'd squeeze the life out of their friends if they didn't behave. No citrus would be safe. 😉
Ah the timing of this competition! My lemon squeezer broke on the way back from a trip in the berg (it was a brilliant squeezer) and I've not been able to find anything to match it locally. Finally I saw your previous post on these magnificent little squeezers and set off to my local kitchen shop with a birthday gift voucher only to discover they don't carry the item 🙁 I bake and cook a lot and use a lot of lemon in my cooking, but would also use it for squeezing oranges and limes for cakes, juice, biscuits and puddings! Shared this comp on FB too!
I am thinking.. Limes… Crushed ice…. mint and rum 🙂 That's the was I roll!
I would use the juicer to juice lemons to make a delicious lemon meringue pie. Have shared on twitter @NicolaLMeyer
Honestly, I probably wouldn't use it for anything. I'd put it on my display shelf in between my two aloe trees and admire it, because it's just so darn pretty.
I will use it to squeeze the piles of lemons we always get on the tree and make some lemonade.
id use my Le creuset juicer to juice limes for my springbok carpaccio with rocket and parmesan shavings and a drizzle of olive oil! the lime juice will just balance it all out! WANT!
I woul use th juicer to mak fres onage juice 🙂 Yum yum. Shared this on Fb as well xx.
Ah ^x^ bliss! I would use it to make delicious fresh mojitos for my friends and me!
I'd use the Le Creuset Citrus Juicer for home made lemon juice yum!
Shared on Twitter (Rench7) & Google+.
Shared. I would use it to squeeze fresh limes to make a key lime pie 🙂
I am on a new diet for my health issues and I can drink water. The only nice thing I can have in the water is lemon. I need a juicer, just to save my hands from squeezing so many lemons.
oh, and tweeted
Would squeeze lemons for home-made lemonade 🙂
I'd use it mostly for squeezing lemons and limes…a nice addition to any cocktail! Shared on twitter @roxyruth.
I would use it to squeeze lemons for lemonade with the lemons from my garden and for fresh orange juice in the morning. The rest of the time it will be on my display shelf in the kitchen to show off all the time.
with winter coming up it will be perfect for orange juice. We live near citrus farms so oranges are cheap and very abundant!
tweeted and pinned, I would use this juicer to make home-made lemonade, best thing for this summer heat.
I use lemons everyday for marinades etc!soo this would come in handy!love it!
I would use it for orange juice and lemon juice – nothing nicer than freshly squeezed juice! Pinned, Tweeted and shared!
Would love to have this in my kitchen!
Shared on Facebook.
My daughter would use it to squeeze lemons for me…with sparkling water from the sodastream it makes a great drink! Really nice because it has a handle to pour the juice out! Tweeted @kathcups & shared on FB.
I would use it to make orange and lemon juice Tweeted and shard to facebook @online61524.
I have just discovered the most delicious flourless moist almond cake in a cookbook I bought a few months ago. I stopped baking and cooking while I was writing my thesis, but I recently baked the almond cake and now my husband keeps dropping hints for me to make it again (okay, I actually love it too). I'd like to use the Le Creuset Citrus Juicer to make an orange or lemony syrup to drizzle over the cake to make it extra special.
I would love to use it to make wheatgrass shots for myself every morning before I start the day 🙂 shared on twitter!
Mojitos…. definately Mojitos!
Would use it to make home made orange juice.
i would make mojito's all year round! x
I would use this gorgeous juicer to make a big, fat lemon meringue pie, My all time favourite pud. Summer is coming to a sad close and `i can think of no better way to celebrate its last days than with my favourite lemony treat.
I'd use it to make good old orange juice. I also tweeted.
I have the most mouth-watering recipe for a gluten-free, sugar-free citrus cake. Simply delicious. This will make squeezing oranges and lemons that much more fun!
I'd make good ol' OJ to go with my breakfast every morning. I'm also a BIG fan of lemonade and am dying to try a pink lemonade recipe I recently stumbled upon.
Love Le Creuset, the yellow juicer will go perfect with my grey tiled kitchen.
Will definitely use for squeezing out Lemons and Oranges for home bakes or cooking.
Lemons for lemon meringue pie.
beautiful , I would use it for boosting the immune system this winter with delicious fresh orange juice.
I would use this amazing item to make my much loved lemonade.
lemonade and orange juice..freshly squeezed..yum!
What a brilliant idea in a cuppa, so easy for a refreshing home made drink!
Oh, gee this is easy. I'd make a lemon drop martini. Cakes and pies are great, but what can I say? Sometimes I just feel like drinking my calories.
would definitely use it to make grapefruit juice… excited to be going into winter and citrus season:)
I've tweeted about it 🙂

It was a battle of unbeatens, the Sparks hosting the Minnesota Lynx, one of the biggest regular-season games in WNBA history, the story of the season.
Sadly, for me, it wasn't even the story of the day.
Last week I planned to visit Staples Center to write about what could have been a very nice moment for Los Angeles' women's professional basketball team. But the day before the game, a seemingly bigger basketball story arose, and those plans drastically changed.
On the same afternoon as the Sparks game, the Lakers decided to hold a news conference introducing new Coach Luke Walton, so I attended that instead.

Since historic win, Korean golfer finds balance with family in Southlake, at Dallas driving range
Only eight months have passed since Y.E. Yang beat Tiger Woods at the PGA Championship.
He had become the first Asian-born man to win one of golf's four major championships. South Korea's president was on the phone. Parades were planned.
But on a recent Saturday, the first player to overcome Woods in the final round of a major was overhauling kids' golf swings. At an indoor public facility in Dallas, no less, in the heart of the Korean trade district.
"What's the chance of getting the PGA winner teaching you?" Gloria Cha said as her 15-year-old daughter and 10-year-old niece pounded balls under Yang's watch at his Harmony Golf Range. "You could pay a lot of money somewhere else and not get that."
The Masters begins today with all eyes on Woods. The world's No. 1 golfer is playing his first event since reports of marital infidelities began spilling out following his Nov. 27 SUV wreck.
Much has been made of Woods' recommitting to his Buddhist faith. Less is known about Yang, a Buddhist himself, following the teaching of Zen.
Yang's breakout season in 2009 featured two wins, $3.5 million in earnings and immeasurable harmony.
His journey of enlightenment is about finding balance - the yin and, yes, the yang.
That helps explain Yang's decision to open Harmony Golf Range in Koreatown, near Interstate 35E and Royal Lane. After all, his PGA Championship victory opened doors for male Asian golfers.
"Like a symphony, you have to have all the instruments in harmony to make good music," Yang, 38, said through his manager and translator, Ryan Park. (Yang understands English but is challenged by speaking it.)
"Same with me. Every component - the staff, the customers, my kids and other kids coming in - has a role in conducting good golf."
Yang's family has lived in Southlake for just over a year. Like many international players, Yang was drawn to the Dallas area because of its international airport, the lack of state taxes and the relatively mild weather. Fellow Korean PGA Tour player K.J. Choi recently moved to Southlake, about five minutes from Yang.
Dallas also has the largest Korean-American community in Texas. Atlanta is the only Southern city with a higher population of transplanted Koreans.
"Because of the location, because of the different people I'm trying to bring in - not only Koreans but Americans - I thought this could promote Korean unity and other communities as well," Yang said of Harmony.
With Harmony, Yang is giving back. He's providing an opportunity for the next Yang Yong-eun, his given name.
Early dreams
He started playing golf at 19 on a double-decker driving range. He grew up on the island of Jeju, about an hour's flight from Seoul. Yang helped on his father's vegetable farm, but he aspired to be a bodybuilder. That dream ended when he tore knee ligaments doing construction work when he was 17.
On a friend's suggestion, he took a driving range job. He offset the low wages by sleeping at the range. He learned swing fundamentals from videos of Nick Faldo and Jack Nicklaus. It took him three years to break par.
Despite his late start, Yang developed. He played professionally in South Korea and on the Japan Tour. In 2007 he made the big move, taking his wife and three sons to America.
Based in Palm Springs, Calif., Yang earned only $54,000, not enough to retain full PGA Tour membership his first season. He made it through qualifying school in 2008, secured his card and then won the Honda Classic early in 2009.
Although few envisioned a major title in Yang's immediate future, his caddie, A.J. Montecinos, was not surprised.
"I've never been around a more mentally tough player in my life," said Montecinos, who does not speak much Korean and communicates with Yang by saying numbers. "He knows what he needs to do and he gets it done. Nothing really fazes him. He finds a light in every situation."
Shocking upset
Yang's victory over Woods in the last major stands as one of the biggest upsets in golf history.
Woods was undefeated in 14 majors when holding the 54-hole lead. Yang was 37, relatively unknown and No. 110 in the World Ranking.
Woods was 21 when he won his first major, the 1997 Masters. Yang had just finished his mandatory 18-month stint in the South Korean army.
Woods, featured on TV hitting balls at age 2, was groomed by his father to break Nicklaus' records. Yang's father saw no future in golf. He tried to dissuade the fourth of his eight kids from playing.
In the final round of the PGA at Hazeltine Golf Club in Chaska, Minn., nobody could stop Yang. Many South Koreans set their alarms for 4 a.m. Monday to watch Yang overcame a two-stroke deficit to Woods.
South Korea President Lee Myung-bak called to congratulate Yang, saying, "You enhanced our people's morale by winning the major title for the first time as an Asian."
Yang said he and his family are comfortable in their seven-bedroom home in Southlake. Their boys - Hyeonwoo, 10, Isu, 9, and Kyungmin, 5 - attend public schools and play sports. And yes, they play golf.
His wife, Park Young-ju, attends PTA meetings. For the elementary school's auction, Yang donated an autographed shirt from the PGA Championship. Family activities include taekwondo, soccer, swimming, Chuck E. Cheese and Main Event.
"I think it hasn't been as much of an adjustment for them as it has been for me," Yang said, smiling. "I haven't really blended in yet." Tiger tamer's Tweets
Y.E. Yang has a cult of Twitter followers with his refreshingly honest posts. Manager Ryan Park translates the posts into English. A sampling:
On Tuesday's Masters practice round with K.J. Choi: "Kor bros getting paired with big shots, KJ w/ Tiger, myself w/ Phil [Mickelson]"
"its actually my birthday (Feb. 28) - i go by the Lunar calendar, since I was born actually on Feb 29th on the sun calendar"
"it seems that Americans need their eggs for breakfast - American breakfast can get boring real soon though"
"Phoenix is freezing - had a string of bad lucks yesterday - no pick up at airport no taxi, no heating at hotel, car broke this morning"
"Cowboys stadium is plain ridiculous, probably could hold a 18 hole PGA tournament there. HUGE!!"
"just finished watching the NBA AllStar Sat. from front row seats near the player tunnel, I asked Kobe for an autograph but he just walked"
"it is excruciatingly slow - waiting to find car for 1 hour...- I am missing superbowl!!!!arrrg"
"I am resting ... at Viertels Towing Office ....m cuz I have to pick up my car.... cuz it was towed"
"Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg that last putt for Birdie I missed was worth 60,000USD. Not to happy how I finished, but overall it was a good day & week"
Age: 38
Birth name: Yang Yong-eun
Birthplace: Jeju-do, South Korea
Residence: Southlake
Family: Wife Park Young-ju; sons Hyeonwoo (10), Isu (9) and Kyungmin (5)
Turned pro: 1996
Joined PGA Tour: 2007
Victories: PGA Tour (2 - 2009 Honda Classic and PGA Championship); European Tour (2); Japan Tour (5); Asian Tour (2)
World ranking: 28th
2009 earnings: $3,489,516
2010 earnings: $815,523
Notable: Caddie A.J. Montecinos of San Antonio communicates "mostly in numbers." His Korean is limited: "I basically know the numbers one through 10, left and right, 'I'm hungry' and 'I'm full.' " ... Yang followed seven-time winner K.J. Choi onto the PGA Tour and then Choi followed Yang to Southlake, settling about five minutes away. ... After winning the PGA Championship in August, Yang played a round of golf with former President George W. Bush at Dallas' Brook Hollow Golf Club and threw out the first pitch at a Rangers game - "high and inside," Yang said. "I practiced for an hour and it was good, but in front of the crowd I was really nervous."

It's no
secret that Apple has been militant in suing competitors that employ
technologies even remotely close to Apple's own [see: Samsung, Motorola, HTC].
But when it comes to stealing ideas for apps from developers, Apple's
intentions are a bit more dubious.
Register reports that Apple is being
accused of stealing the idea of one UK-based college student and developer —
Greg Hughes. In May 2010, Hughes submitted an app for consideration called
Wi-Fi Sync, which allowed users to sync their iTunes libraries
than receive the standard rejection email, Hughes reportedly got a call from an
iPhone developer relations representative letting him know that his app was
"admirable," but that some unspecified security concerns prevented it
from being accepted. "They did say that the iPhone engineering team had looked
at it and were impressed," Hughes told The Register.
"They asked for my CV as well."
rather than back down, Hughes simply submitted the app to the Cydia store,
where it's sold more than 50,000 copies in a little more than a year. At $9.99
a pop, it's fair to say that Hughes made out quite nicely from his decision,
though he declined to say how much he profited.
didn't pad the surprise that Hughes received earlier in the week, when Apple unveiled
a number of key features for its upcoming iOS 5. One key feature, aptly
named Wi-Fi Sync, does exactly what Hughes' rejected version did.
Furthermore, Apple's icon for the app bears a striking resemblance to Hughes
original design (see photo).
I was fairly shocked," Hughes told The Register. "I'd
been selling my app with that name and icon for at least a year. Apple knew
that, as I'd submitted it to them, so it was surprising to see that."
Unofficial Apple Weblog has a list of other jailbreak developers that have been
subject to similar "borrowing" by Apple.
quote: Yeah Im sure Apple wasnt planning this for their new OS from the point the released the previous full number upgrade or anything.
quote: Lets ignore the fact that other devices have wifi syncing for years and pretend this guy came up with it and its an original idea.
quote: Lets ignore the fact that this guys icon is a simple combination of two icons apple has used in their UI for years. Gee I wonder why they'd look slimier?
quote: Some of you let your hate for a company blind your judgement just as much as the people you condemn for their love of the same.

'Spike Heels' a pointed riff on 'Pygmalion'
Late in the first act of Theresa Rebeck's "Spike Heels" - now being staged by Smithereen Productions, under Rebecca Segal's direction - two men in a Boston apartment are vehemently arguing about whether one of them should be dating the woman living upstairs. Both men are oblivious to the woman herself, who is standing in the hall, knocking and waiting to be let in.
That vignette tells you a lot about what's going on in this play, in which the guys' ostensible focus on women is always really more about themselves - and their fractious relationship with each other. »Read Full Article

Fans recall what Paul McCartney — and the Beatles — meant to them
On June 18, 1942, a boy named James Paul McCartney was born in Liverpool, England. He'd grow up and meet other chaps — John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr — and together as the Beatles, they'd impact the lives of countless millions around the world, and of people living in Milwaukee, during the '60s and the decades that followed.
McCartney has been active ever since, in Wings, as a solo artist and on the road. On Tuesday, McCartney will take the stage at a sold-out Miller Park for his first Milwaukee concert since 2005, to perform in front of about 40,000 spectators. »Read Full Article(2)

Lesson Title:
Eric Carle Collage with Color Theory
Grade Level or Course:
2nd grade
Time Allotment:
At least two class sessions
Targeted Goals and Objectives from the 2000 North Carolina Arts Education Standard Course of Study and Grade Level Competencies, K-12:
1.06 Use experimentation to find solutions
1.08 Recognize that images from reality and from fantasy may be used to create original art
2.01 Become familiar with additional art media, techniques and processes
2.04 Produce visual effects and textures using each media
3.06 Create work which shows more complex organization
5.03 Identify selected medium/techniques as processes used for individual artwork
8.01 Begin to understand different ways that people can make a living from creating art
Targeted Goals and Objectives from the North Carolina Standard Course
of Study and Grade
Level Competencies, K-12 for other content areas.
English Language Arts: Discuss similarities & differences in events and
characters across stories
Information Skills: Demonstrates familiarity with a variety of types of books and resources (print, non-print, electronic)
Information Skills: Respond to reading, listening, and viewing experiences orally, artistically, dramatically through various formats
Information Skills: Produce media in various formats, e.g., pictorial, multimedia
Lesson Objective(s):
The learner will:
study primary and secondary colors in a lab setting
make connections between art and literature
create a collage in the style of author/illustrator Eric Carle using hand-mixed color paper
Materials/Equipment Needed:
Supplies: finger paint, finger-paint paper (slick coated), scissors, glue, black and green construction paper
Visual Resources: Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh (or any other book on mixing primary colors), The Very Quiet Cricket or The Very Grouchy Lady Bug by Eric Carle and pictures/handouts of various bugs for referenc
Lesson Procedure:
The book on mixing colors will be read aloud. The students will then go to their seats for color experiments.
At each group setting there will be 4 different papers with 2 colors of finger-paint: blue and yellow, red and blue, red and orange, and white with any primary color
The students will hypothesize on what color will be created. Then the students who are sitting in front of the color set being discussed will proceed to mix the colors, while their classmates watch. Once the new color has been made and "discovered", the next color set will be mixed. Each student will have a chance to mix while his classmates watch. All students will be able to guess at what colors might appear.
After each child has had a chance to mix his primary colors to create secondary ones, the students will use the rest of the class time to thoroughly mix and cover their paper with the finger paint, enjoying the tactile experience
Directions for the Collage Portion of this lesson:
The following class session, the teacher will read an Eric Carle book with bugs as the main characters. Students will discuss the concept of author/illustrator. Students will analyze the book as to how the pictures where made (cut paper, some colors finger-painted on the paper). Students will be encouraged to make their own buggy picture with their own hand colored finger-paint paper.
Students will cut grass from half an 8x 10" piece of green construction paper and paste it to the bottom of the black 8 x 10" construction paper to create land/sky. There should be unglued top edges of the grass to hide bugs in.
Finger-painted papers will be cut and used in the creation of Eric Carle-style bugs, cutting shapes from the colored paper to create bug segments, legs etc. to make the bugs. The bugs will be glued to the paper with some peeking out from behind the cut paper grass (overlapping), some will have wings and will fly in the sky. Students will also cut a paper moon to hang in the sky and stars could be made from tiny yellow paper scraps, if time permits. Students may use photocopied pictures of various bugs as a reference for the creation of the insects. Note the differences between spiders and bugs (number of legs, segmented bodies etc.).
Students will be tested orally on basic color theory
Students' work will display application of the following art concepts: overlapping, balanced composition (use of the full paper)
Students will be able to discuss Eric Carle as an author/illustrator and his method for creating images (collage with cut hand painted paper)
Students will keep a personal portfolio of artwork for ongoing progress and assessment
Special Considerations:
Finger paint paper generally comes in large sheets. Cut down the sheets to a manageable size, such as 12" x 18", to ensure room for storage when drying.
Remind students that finger painting means just that, ONE FINGER, not whole hand painting
Have paper towels pre-wet to be handed out at the end of class so there isn't a rush for the sink (this is also a great art bribe for good behavior!)
Check with classroom teachers and try to schedule your lesson to be taught concurrently with the teachers' science lessons on bugs or color

Former Premier Jacques Parizeau says for the first time in decades, he is worried about Quebec's economy.
'It's the first time in 30 years that I am worried about the economic future of Quebec," the 81-year-old former premier wrote in an opinion piece in the Journal de Montréal.
In it, he says there's been an undeniable deterioration in Quebec's finances, and that "shock therapy" will be needed to correct it.
Parizeau says it would make more sense for Quebec to invest money in small- and medium-sized businesses, rather than investing in large projects and offering massive tax breaks, such as last week's $450 million funding of a cement plant in the Gaspé region.
And he says he agrees fully with the report that came out last month from the HEC, the University of Montreal's business school, which painted a portrait of Quebec living beyond its means with fiscal and economic policies that are unsustainable.
Another recent study, from the University of Sherbrooke, suggests unless the Quebec government makes a sea change in the way it spends money, it faces an "apocalypse" in the next 35 years.
CJAD's political analyst Jean Lapierre says Parizeau's words will carry considerable weight with Quebec's political class, considering his experience and his years as a finance minister under René Lévesque.
'Everybody knows [the economy] is his specialty, and I guess it's a big wake-up call."
Parizeau's last piece for the Journal was his criticism of his old party's secularism charter.

ATG Fighters who never fought in Madison Square Garden
MSG has been called the Mecca of Boxing, yet many great fighters have never fought in the legendary arena. How many can you name who never fought in the famed arena? I know of at least 5:
Floyd Mayweather
Manny Pacquaio
Michael Spniks
Joe Brown
Thomas Hearns
Sugar Ray Leonard's ill-fated fight with Terry Norris was his only appearance at MSG.

The importance of an adequate supply of iron in the diet of man is well known. However, the total amount of iron in ingested foods is not the sole factor1 in determining the amount of this element which is utilized by the organism. Of equal importance are the chemical nature of the compounds in which food iron is contained and variations in the absorption and retention of the substance under different physiologic and pathologic conditions. Prolonged diarrhea, for example, may lower the amount of iron absorbed and therefore the amount retained, presumably because of a decrease in the time during which the chyme is present in the intestine. The amount of hydrochloric acid present in the gastric juice likewise affects the absorption of iron. Patients with achlorhydria frequently have anemia of the iron-deficiency type. Indeed, it has been shown2 that the decrease in gastric acidity following alkali therapy

Male Athlete of the Week: Isaac Mattson, Harbor Creek baseball
Isaac Mattson was glad Harbor Creek's baseball team got in some action last week.
The weather cleared up enough to allow the Huskies to start their 2014 season with home games that each ended early because of the PIAA's mercy rules. They only required five innings for a 12-2 victory over Union City and four for a 15-0 shutout of Cambridge Springs.
"A couple of us were starting to get claustrophobic," Mattson said about Harbor Creek's extensive indoor practice sessions. "It was great that we could finally get out there."
Mattson turned in a memorable effort Wednesday, striking out a school-record 19 batters in a 5-0 win against General McLane. He threw a three-hitter and also went 3-for-3 at the plate.
The senior contributed two hits and drove in four runs against Union City. The returning all-Region 7 pitcher also struck out seven Bears.
Mattson was responsible for three of the Huskies' 15 runs against Cambridge Springs. He recorded two RBIs and scored once.
"We're going to have to focus on hitting better if we're going to do well," Mattson said.

Entering the Maui Interscholastic League Golf Championships, neither Malu Rosenthal nor Kristeena Locke was a favorite to win.
Rosenthal, a senior at Lahainaluna High School, had never placed higher than fifth in his career and Locke, a freshman at Maui High, had to compete against defending champion and Junior PGA champion Marissa Uradomo of Baldwin.
Rosenthal and Locke, however, would claim their first league titles and were honored as MIL boys and girls players of the year.

The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
"It feels great," Rosenthal said. "Coming into the season, I wasn't really shooting for that. I was just shooting for the MIL title and to let everything fall into place - and it just did."
After the third round of the championships, Rosenthal was eight strokes behind Baldwin sophomore Tyler Munetake. By the final round, though, he had rallied back and was neck-and-neck with Munetake, thanks to six birdies.
"I just told myself to play my game and don't worry about anything else," he said. "It's like a marathon; I just knew if I put five solid rounds together I would have a good chance at it."
Article PDFs
His chance came on the 18th hole, when he sunk a 40-foot chip to clinch the title by one stroke.
"I knew we were tied in the back nine, but a couple holes later we weren't," he said of him and Munetake. "After I chipped in (to win) it seemed like everyone knew except for me.
"I'm very satisfied with my senior year,"
While Rosenthal, who will head to Portland, Ore. to play for Warner Pacific College, was able to finish his high school career with a bang, Locke got her Sabers' career off to a great start.
In the final round of the girls championship, the freshman held a double-digit lead over Uradomo, a senior. Despite a handful of bogeys, Locke was able to win by six strokes.
"It feels really good," she said. "Because it's only my first year, getting that was a real accomplishment."
Locke said she was confident about competing at the high school level due to her experience with Maui Junior Golf Association and Hawaii State Junior Golf Association.
"I wasn't sure how I was going to do, since it was my first year, but I wasn't really nervous," she said. "In junior golf you're playing against really good competitors so I was expecting that level of competition."
Another member of the two golf associations is Maui High freshman teammate Jasmine Cabajar, who Locke credited for some of her success.
"I've been playing with her for a while," Locke said. "We played against each other, but we also play as a team and push each other to do better and to forget about the bad shots."
After finishing outside the top 15 at this year's state golf tournament, Locke hopes to improve her standing and also repeat as MIL champion.
"Over the summer I'm going to be practicing a lot," she said.
Rosenthal is joined on the MIL first team by Baldwin's Munetake, Ariel Eltfman-Hanson and Jameson Keiley, and King Kekaulike's Drake Onaga.
Locke is joined on the MIL girls first team by Cabajar, and Baldwin's Uradomo and Kirsten Ishikawa.

Dallas money courier Phillip Leon Washington's murder remains unsolved one year later
One year ago today, Phillip Leon Washington was shot to death outside a Dallas bank while doing his job.
The 50-year-old money courier — a husband, father and brother — was cut down by three men before he could grasp the gun he carried for protection.
His unsolved murder is currently the top story on the Web site for the America's Most Wanted TV show. The story includes an interview with Dallas Morning News columnist James Ragland, an old friend of Washington's.
Washington's family and friends continue to struggle with their loss and the painful realization that no one has been brought to justice in the case.
A $10,000 reward posted by Schepps Dairy for information in the unsolved killing remains in place. Anyone with information about this case or other unsolved Dallas homicides is encouraged to call police at 214-671-3661 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

"What Happened To JetBlue??"
Flight from Boston to Phoenix
Airline: JetBlue
RT/OW: roundtrip
Date of Flight: January 2011
Seat Class: economy
This used to be my favorite airline, but after a roundtrip to PHX, I will not fly with them again. After checking in and given the gate number, I walked all the way down to the farthest end of the concourse to my gate. After 1/2 hr we were told our gate changed to the very opposite end of the concourse. Once on board, a flight attendent announced two beverage services: once shortly after takeoff and the other an hour before landing. The first one happened. Then the flight attendents seemed to disappear. 1/2 hr from landing I was so parched I rang for someone to bring me some water. Everyone else started asking for water & drinks so they finally had the other beverage service, which was rather rushed so close to landing. Return flight wasn't much better. Our flight was delayed a couple of hours (bad weather the day before) because the pilots hadn't arrived yet. I asked the gate attendent "Will we begin boarding before or after the pilots arrive?" I was thinking of buying a drink, remembering the 1st flight, and wanted to know if I'd have enough time. The response was: the plane will begin boarding before the pilots arrive so by the time they get here, we'll be ready for takeoff. So I skipped getting a drink only to sit there and wait until the pilots arrived - only then did we get to board. Back home everyone was waiting for thir luggage. They lied to my face! Once we landed, there were 3 different flights assigned to the same carousel at the same time and it was packed. After about 1/2 hour, when no one on our flight received any luggage, they moved our flight to a different carousel, only to have it break down after a couple of bags. It took an hour before I finally got my suitcase.

The Arizona State Sun Devils are champions of the Pac-12 South and are one win away from playing in the Rose Bowl, thanks to the hard work of head coach Todd Graham.
Graham has rejuvenated ASU's fanbase and has made Arizona State football relevant on the national stage.
Just two years ago, the Sun Devils lost six of their last seven games and fired head coach Dennis Erickson.
The future of Sun Devil football looked bleak. Then came Graham with his Texas accent and winning attitude.
Fast forward to today.
ASU is the Pac-12 South champion and favored to beat Stanford in the Pac-12 championship game. A team that recently went through a complete overhaul is now one win away from playing in the Rose Bowl.
It's actually quite remarkable.
Graham has changed the culture at Arizona State by implementing his own coaching staff, energizing ASU's fanbase, changing the program's expectations and attracting big-name recruits.
If ASU can keep up that momentum, the sky's the limit.
Arizona State University has all the resources to be a big-time college football program, and with Graham at the helm, that reality may not be far off.
Here is a look at how Graham tranformed the Sun Devils into a winning program.

Top Rank Promotions had an all-Hispanic guaranteed action-packed featherweight (126 lbs) superfight between two of its own fighters, the still undefeated Yuriorkis Gamboa (20-0, 16 KO's) and the recently defeated Juan Manuel Lopez (30-1, 27 KO's).
Rarely do you see one boxing promoter with two fighters it can pit against each other for an instant classic in high demand. Top Rank had that, but wanted to "let the fight build" by keeping the fighters apart to increase demand.
Well, now that one fighter has lost via eighth-round stoppage to Mexican veteran Orlando Salido (35-11-2, 23 KO's), the mystique of two undefeated fighters engaging in war for featherweight supremacy is all but lost.
Or is it?
Gamboa has options as to where his next big fight can come from. He may have to wait on a fighter to move up to his weight or he may have to move up in weight.
Either way, a superfight for Gamboa is not that far away. In fact, I've listed the top seven biggest fights within two weight classes of Gamboa.

ELEVEN people, including six South African Air Force members, died when a military aircraft crashed in the Drakensberg near Ladysmith on Wednesday, the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) said.
"On board the aircraft was a crew of six with five passengers, and it was confirmed that there are no survivors," SANDF spokesman Siphiwe Dlamini said.
He said the SANDF had started informing the next of kin of those who died, and that their names would be released thereafter.
Mr Dlamini also said a board of inquiry had been convened to investigate the cause of the accident.
The Dakota aircraft went missing en route to Mthatha after it took off from Waterkloof air-force base in Pretoria on Wednesday.
After no more communication was received from the aircraft, the air force activated a search-and-rescue mission, but severe weather in the area hindered the operation.
"At first light this morning (Thursday), the rescue team continued their efforts and located the wreckage in the Drakensberg mountains," said Mr Dlamini.
Earlier reports had speculated that the plane might have been carrying a medical team to do a routine check-up on former president Nelson Mandela, but Mr Dlamini dismissed these reports as incorrect.
