As I've posted before, Khan spars Pac regularly. Being a top fighter in his own right, let alone already a star and having hosted his own PPVs, he's far from arrogant to agree to that. Those actions spell humbleness, humility, and a hunger/drive to improve.
If he was arrogant he wouldn't have agreed to give up some of his purse to Bradley and half of the UK PPV, where no-one even knows who that big headed freak Bradley is. He also went ahead with the McCloskey fight, even though McCloskey got paid more than him and he lost a million dollars when Sky pulled out.
Now, we saw what an arrogant fighter would do in that situation when Haye pulled out against Wlad in 2009 when Setanta went bust. Khan showed what a class act he was going ahead with the fight for his fans. He didn't earn much, probably only 100k for that fight.

I agree... This sums up everything I think about Amir. He can be the next superstar with wide followings if he just learn how to tone down a bit.

to be honest, i think people feel he's arrogant and full of himself because he's been chin checked early on in his career, isn't "tough looking", has a boyish/juvenile demeanor to his looks, wanted to fight morales, looks wet behind the ears in the ring, super cautious/guarded and anxious, and everyone feels like if he gets caught with one good clean shot on the chin he's going down. because if you think about it, his confidence is just as normal as it comes in boxing. if you took his words and put them in someone elses mouth they wouldn't be that different than what others usually say all the time. he's the guy everyone wants to see get knocked out again. people wish that on floyd too, but know that's very unlikely to happen so they just hate him. with khan, people are like, "i can't wait to see him get knocked the **** out again and embarrassed hahaha!".

If he was just totally honest he wouldn't come across as arragont. It's just the fact that he says stuff like all his opponents have big power, but he took their shots and KO'd them(he just says it because of what happened with Prescott). I mean Judah had no power and he didn't catch you with any shots so why say it. Just be honest and say.. I dominated a very good fighter and I'm looking foward to who's next.. Be honest mate.

In the gym the trainer is BOSS, and it is Freddie's training which has made him the beginning.....I said the BEGINNING of a star. . The star is Manny P. but they are not working in the gym on the "star" system". they are there for the purpose of learning their craft, and improving their weaknesses and practicing special moves needed for certain opponents. Not to mention general movement.
I trained in a gym for years, and yes, I was the star, but not as soon nor as big as I thought I was. And when I sparred with anyone, it was when the trainer told me only. And I was not so much a star that I was too haughty to throw a certain punch or make a certain move, over and over so that the other guy, the "also-ran" could not practice the move the trainer was trying to teach him.
If you happen to be a boxer, (and about 80% of the guys are not) when and with whom do YOU spar. When and with whom the trainer tells you to of course......................

Baker Mercedes-Benz again has attained the top echelon for dealers, earning the luxury carmaker's Best of the Best award for 2012.
Owner Tommy Baker and staff at the Mercedes dealership on Savannah Highway are accepting kudos for being honored with the Dealer Recognition Award for the seventh time since 2003.
Baker is the only Mercedes dealership in South Carolina to win the award, which is based on outstanding performance throughout the year. The company was notified of the honor in the past week.
What makes the tribute so special is a dealership must meet lofty standards in every one of a host of categories. They include customer satisfaction, new vehicle sales, certified pre-owned sales, leadership and management, parts operations and market penetration.
Baker Mercedes first won Best of the Best for 2003 and also earned the top award in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and now 2012. The Charleston dealership was the top Mercedes-Benz outfit in the country in 2007.
This month's presentation of the prestigious honor comes as parent Baker Motor Co. continues through a successful period of laying the foundation for and completing mergers, expansion and restoration.
Charleston-based Baker Motor Co. is a factory authorized Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Infiniti, Range Rover, Land Rover, Jaguar, Maserati, Sprinter and smart sales and service provider; runs Baker Buick GMC Cadillac, also on Savannah Highway; and heads up Baker Motor Co. of Mount Pleasant pre-owned vehicle store on Johnnie Dodds Boulevard.
According to the company, Baker won Best of the Best for its "success as an independent entrepreneur (that) routinely exceeds the expectations of Mercedes-Benz owners."
Tommy Baker, the owner and president, said, "We are so honored to receive Mercedes-Benz' highest distinction for our efforts in 2012. We have such an incredible team committed to providing an exceptional ownership experience for each customer we have the pleasure to serve. This award is a true testament to their teamwork and dedication."
As of 2011, Baker Mercedes employed 75 people. The entire Baker Motor operation including Baker Buick GMC Cadillac has about 190 employees. Tommy Baker has called the flagship Mercedes-Benz franchise "our barometer," and "the lady who took you to the dance."
Baker Motor Co. dates to 1988, with Mercedes-Benz as its original franchise. The business started on Morrison Drive in Charleston before moving west of the Ashley in the mid 1990s. Baker is celebrating a quarter century in business this year.
While no figures were immediately available for 2012, typically less than 10 percent of the close to 500 Mercedes dealerships across the country achieve Best of the Best status in any given year.
"These dealers are exemplary representatives of the Mercedes-Benz brand: an entrepreneurial spirit fueled by a commitment to excellence and strengthened by a total focus on customer satisfaction," said Steve Cannon, president and chief executive of Mercedes-Benz USA.
"I thank them for their hard work and dedication," he said.

Good bright ruby-red. Reticent nose hints at redcurrant, licorice and menthol. Sweet, creamy and large-scaled, flaunting the richness of the vintage but also displaying good inner-mouth energy. The broad tannins are a bit aggressive today, but there's plenty of sweet buffering fruit.

THE occurrence of autonomic dysfunction in Parkinson's syndrome is widely quoted, but most studies are restricted to clinical impressions. The abnormalities attributed to autonomic disturbances in this disease include sialorrhea, seborrhea, excessive sweating, constipation, sphincter disturbances, dysphagia, postural hypotension, blue mottled skin, and other vasomotor abnormalities, heat intolerance and impotence, to name a few. With the introduction of levodopa for the treatment of Parkinson's syndrome, large numbers of patients have come forth, eager to allow evaluation of their clinical state before, and at intervals after, the start of levodopa therapy. We have tested some autonomic function before and during treatment in 25 patients suffering from Parkinson's syndrome and record the findings in this report.
Patients and Methods
Patients were tested before the start of levodopa therapy and after maximum neurological improvement had been achieved. Fifteen patients were receiving no medication at the time of the baseline tests, all drugs

I just got my 5 fingers last Friday, and I generally wear a 13 in other shoes. The sides are generally elastic, and it is the exact fit of your longest toe that should be your main concern in my opinion.
Directly from the website FAQ "DO YOU MAKE WIDTHS?
FiveFingers use a stretch fabric upper that accommodates most medium and wide widths (up to EEE) comfortably, as our business grows we hope to offer more sizing options" (http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/technology/faqs.cfm)
Plus their return policy is: "Within 30 business days of the original purchase we will accept returns on clean and unworn FiveFingers* in the complete and original packaging.
-You can expect a refund in the same form of payment originally used for purchase within 30 days of our receiving your returned product" (http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/Use...nge%20Form.doc)
I think you will be fine. Plus, so far they are great in my opinion, I wish they were considered "Work Appropriate", if they were I would never take them off!

Workshop Objective:
The Workshop's objectives are three-fold. First, the primary aim is to encourage and support young scholars doing critical, interdisciplinary work in law, culture and the humanities. In this respect, the Workshop will serve as a forum in which young scholars can develop and refine their work in conversation with more senior scholars. Second, our objective is to create an ongoing set of conversations among a diverse group of junior and senior scholars about the nature of and challenges inherent in interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching. For example, our hope is to use the discussion of works-in-progress by newer scholars to think critically about the current and future goals of interdisciplinarity: Is it the juxtaposition of different disciplinary concerns and approaches or is it a more radical and precarious rejection of disciplinary rules and conventions? Third, the Workshop will seek to provide and promote an environment for building intellectual community among junior and senior scholars across disciplines.
Paper Competition:
The paper competition is open to untenured professors, advanced graduate students and post-doctoral scholars in law and the humanities; in addition to drawing from numerous humanistic fields, the Workshop welcomes critical, qualitative work in the social sciences. Between five and ten papers will be chosen, based on anonymous evaluation by an interdisciplinary selection committee, for presentation at the June Workshop. At the Workshop, two senior scholars will comment on each paper. Commentators and other Workshop participants will be asked to focus specifically on the strengths and weaknesses of the selected scholarly projects, with respect to subject and methodology. Moreover, the selected papers will then serve as the basis for a larger conversation among all the participants about the evolving standards by which we judge excellence and creativity in interdisciplinary scholarship, as well as about the nature of interdisciplinarity itself.
Papers should be works-in-progress between 30 and 60 double-spaced pages in length. A paper that has been submitted for publication is eligible, but will be disqualified if it is in galley proofs or in print at the time of the Workshop. The selected papers will appear in a special issue of the Legal Scholarship Network; there is no other publication commitment. The Workshop will pay the travel expenses of authors whose papers are selected for presentation. We prefer that you send your submission and questions by email.
Conveners: Katherine Franke, Columbia Law School; Ariela Gross, USC Law School; Naomi Mezey, Georgetown University Law Center.
Referres and Commentators have included: Jack Balkin, David Cruz, Catherine Fisk, Katherine Franke, Howard Gillman, David Theo Goldberg, Laura Gomez, Nan Goodman, Sarah Barringer Gordon, Carol Greenhouse, Ariela Gross, Cheryl Harris, Greg Keating, Mark Kelman, Dan Klerman, Sanford Levinson, David Luban, Robert Post, Margaret Jane Radin, Annelise Riles, Mark Rose, Clyde Spillenger, Nomi Stolzenberg, Kendall Thomas, Austin Sarat, Hilary Schor, Reva Siegel, Robert Weisberg.

Over and over it is claimed, and most accurately so, that the model for the holy man W. Somerset Maugham used in his novel The Razor's Edge and that he called Shri Ganesha in his book, was based on the venerated Indian sage Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. There are several reasons substantiating such speculation, the primary one being Maugham's own Travels in India just prior to writing his novel. Not only did he go to India, but he specifically went to the ashram and met the Maharshi.
Maugham points out right away in his novel that he invented nothing, but, in order to save embarrassment to people still alive at the time of the printing, he had given the various denizens of his story names of his own contriving.(see) Additionally he says he had taken pains to make sure no one should recognize them. However, despite his claims and attempts at distortions of facts, many aspects of his trip find their way into the plot line. Both the Bhagavan and the ashram --- described in the novel to the reader as Maugham saw them in 1938 and NOT as they were when the story's central character Larry Darrell was there some ten years earlier --- are basically no more than thinly veiled and clearly recognizable in passages throughout the novel to most who have even just a passing knowledge of the Maharshi.
Maugham, as narrator in conversation with Larry Darrell, asks what his Yogi was like. Darrell responds:
"In person d'you mean? Well, he wasn't tall, neither thin nor fat, palish brown in colour and clean shaven, with close-cropped white hair. He never wore anything but a loincloth and yet he managed to look as trim and well-dressed as a young man in one of our Brooks Brothers' advertisements."
Later Darrell goes on to say:
"Everyone knew of him. For many years he'd lived in a cave in the hills, but finally he'd been persuaded to move down to the plain where some charitable person had given him a plot of land and had built a little adobe house for him."
"I was given as a dwelling place the shack in which Shri Ganesha had lived in when he first came down to the plain. The hall in which he now passed both night and day had been built when disciples gathered around him and more and more people, attracted by his fame, came to visit him… I read a great deal. I meditated. I listened to Shri Ganesha when he chose to talk; he didn't talk very much, but he was always willing to answer questions and it was wonderfully inspiring to listen to him. It was like music in your ears. Though in his youth he had himself practised very severe austerities he did not enjoin them on his disciples."
Construction on the somewhat more conservative Old Hall, the top picture of two above, was started in 1922 and completed in 1928. The foundation for the much larger and more ornate New Hall, the second of the two graphics above, began January 25, 1945 with the cornerstone laid in presence of Bhagavan on June 25th. By February 1949, most of the construction was completed and consecration was set for March 17, 1949. By March 17th, because of his continuing illness, Ramana was too weak to turn the lock, requiring assistance to do so.
In order to fully grasp the strong comparison of Maugham's comments regarding Shri Ganesha to that of the Maharshi, the following excerpts, from the most excellent biography of Sri Ramana by T. M. P. MAHADEVAN, M. A., Ph.D. Professor of Philosophy, University of Madras and linked above, is presented:
Approximately two years after his arrival in Tiruvannamalai Ramana's mother visited in an attempt to entice the young sage to return home with her. At the time he was living at Pavalakkunru, one of the eastern spurs of Arunachala. With tears in her eyes his mother, Alagammal, entreated Ramana to go back with her, but, for him, there was no going back. Disappointed, she returned to Manamadurai without him.
Sometime after his mother's departure Ramana went up the Holy Hill Arunachala and started living in Virupaksa Cave, named after a saint who once dwelt there and reportedly buried there. Ramana stayed in Virupaksa Cave sixteen years (1899-1916), then moved from Virupaksa Cave to Skandasramam Cave, a little higher up the hill (1916-1922).
In 1916 Ramana's mother returned, resolving to spend the rest of her life with him. In 1920 her health grew weak in and on May 19, 1922, the end came. Her body was taken down the hill and interred. Ramana continued to remain at Skandasramam but visited the tomb daily. After about six months he came to stay at the tomb, and as he put it, not out of his own volition but in obedience to the Divine Will. Thus was founded the Ramana ashram, which, from initial modest beginnings, continually grew and expanded to become what it is today.
Please notice Darrell, who was there during the 1928-30 period, as Maugham wrote it, "was given as a dwelling place the shack in which Shri Ganesha had lived in when he first came down to the plain." Maugham then goes on to write, "The hall in which he (Ramana) NOW passed both night and day had been built when disciples gathered around him and more and more people, attracted by his fame, came to visit him." The hall Maugham speaks of is again, how he saw it during his 1938 visit, NOT the "little adobe house" or shack as the ashram was in 1928 when Darrell was there --- a huge difference. It was not until a young man, age 22, named Annamalai Swami came upon the scene in 1928 and was directed by Sri Ramana to oversee the ongoing construction at the ashram, including the goshala (cow shed), dining hall, dispensary and other projects did the ashram indeed actually begin to grow.
Ten plus years after The Razor's Edge was published Maugham wrote an essay on the Maharshi titled The Saint. In the essay, according to the interpretation by many who read it, Maugham relates that the very FIRST TIME he ever heard anything at all about the Maharshi was in 1938 when he was in the southern Indian city of Madras. He intimates, they say, it was then and then only that he decided to go to the ashram and visit the holy man. How he presents it in his essay is as follows:
In the course of my journey to India I went to Madras and there met some people who seemed interested to know what I had been doing in India. I told them about the holy men who had suffered me to visit them, and they immediately proposed to take me to see a Swami who was the most celebrated and the most revered then in India. They called him the Maharshi.
Letters in Maugham archives, information from other sources, and Maugham's own actions seem to indicate a much different scenario than simply making a first time decision out of the blue to go see the Maharshi upon reaching Madras. Even his above statement isn't necessarily that clear on the subject (i.e., "...they immediately proposed to take me to see...").[1] He does, however, make it most clear in The Razor's Edge that he started his discussions with the person he used as the model for the Darrell character regarding his spiritual attainment while in Paris during the spring of 1931. From those meetings Maugham writes, quoting Darrell, how Darrell first heard of the Maharshi:
Two years later I was down south at a place called Madura. One night in the temple someone touched me on the arm. I turned around and saw a bearded man with long black hair, dressed in nothing but a loincloth, with the staff and the begging bowl of the holy man.
He asked me what I'd been doing and I told him; he asked me where I was going and I said to Travancore; he told me to go and see Sri Ganesha. "He will give you what you are looking for."[2]
The Saint was published in 1958, twenty-seven years after those Maugham and Darrell meetings in Paris during the spring of 1931. Maugham's comments about himself deciding to go see the Maharshi, above, from The Saint, parallel very closly with what he quotes Darrell as saying so many years before. What W. Somerset Maugham seems to be doing at this late stage of his life, age 84 when The Saint was published, is a slow meshing together of facts, placing HIMSELF into the situation in a sort of overlapping whole. In reality Maugham arrived in Bombay by ship early January 1938. On his 64th birthday, January 25, 1938 he was in Madura at the southern tip of India and BY THEN he and his party were well on their way to the ashrama, traveling north a few days later to Madras followed by a few hours by car to Tiruvannamalai. His whole itinerary from the second he got on the boat in England to getting off in Bombay was directed toward the ashram and the Maharshi. After arrival in Bombay he went directly to Madura, then Madras, then Tiruvannamalai. Maugham's itinerary put him in Madura BEFORE reaching Madras. If you remember, Madura was the southern temple city that the Darrell character met the holy man, who I have identified as Swami Ramdas, and who suggested Darrell go see the Maharshi. Again, as from the above:
He asked me what I'd been doing and I told him; he asked me where I was going and I said to Travancore; he told me to go and see Sri Ganesha. "He will give you what you are looking for."
In contrast to the above "thought up in Madras" thesis, it has also been stated many times by many people that it was Paul Brunton and his popular (and at the time) readily available book A Search in Secret India (1934) that inspired Maugham to visit Sri Ramana and write The Razor's Edge. It has also been said that prior to his departure for India Maugham sought out Brunton's advice about who he should visit --- and that it was Brunton that sent him to see Sri Ramana. Of course, if such was the case, any prior suggestion by Brunton or anybody else would most certainly have a tendency to directly undermine the Madras rendition as described above by Maugham.
To show how one could be influenced by Paul Brunton's book, Mercedes De Acosta, who, in 1938, visited the ashrama and met with the Maharshi a few months after Maugham did, writes in her book Here Lies the Heart:
"At one of these dinners I met Paul Brunton who had written a book called A Search in Secret India. When I read this book it had a profound influence on me. In it I learned for the first time about Ramana Maharshi, a great Indian saint and sage. It was as though some emanation of this saint was projected out of the book to me. For days and nights after reading about him I could not think of anything else. I became, as it were, possessed by him. I could not even talk of anything else."
Speaking of De Acosta, interestingly enough, in a little sidelight, she is one of the major movers that brought to the attention of the world an American that was meditating under Sri Ramana at the ashrama the same time she was there by the name of Guy Hague. What is interesting about Hague is that he thought to be by many as being the actual real-life role model for Maugham's main character, Larry Darrell, in The Razor's Edge.
In the end, as it applies to Maugham, because of the facts and related eye witness accounts, neither the "thought up in Madras" version OR the "Brunton" version have very strong legs to stand on. In the spring of 1931 Maugham and the Darrell character met in Paris and began their talks outlining his experiences in India and with the Maharshi. Brunton's book with the insights on Sri Ramana was not published until 1934. Although not discounting totally the possibility of some sort of a meeting or interaction between Maugham and Brunton following the publication of Secret India, it is MY contention that, just as presented in the novel and how I have presented it previously (see), sometime between the time my mentor --- that is, the same person Maugham used as a model for Larry Darrell --- left India, BUT prior to his departure from Europe for the United States, he and Maugham crossed paths --- formally or informally for the first time --- instilling in Maugham the need or desire to meet with the Maharshi. So said, over and over the question is STILL asked:
To the often asked question above, a lot of people say NO. Me, I say YES.
Fundamentally, our experience as experienced is not different from the Zen master's. Where
we differ is that we place a fog, a particular kind of conceptual overlay onto that experience
and then make an emotional investment in that overlay, taking it to be "real" in and of itself.

"...a funny thing happened on the way to the punch line: We all fell in love with the quaint mining town. What we found was a charming community populated with quiet and personable folk. No, Searchlight doesn't have all the sophistication and progress of the Vegas Valley. But hey, that's a damn fine thing to say about a place these days." The Las Vegas Weekly - Bingo Barnes

Searchlight is situated in the Colorado River Basin in Clark County, Nevada. Located on U.S. 95 and State Route 164, midway between Las Vegas and Laughlin. Elevation is 3,540 feet.
Searchlight has a most interesting and intriguing history that includes many famous names: Clara Bow, Rex Bell, Edith Head, Louis Meyer, LT William Nellis, U.S. Senator Harry Reid, John Macready, James Cashman, and an endless list of colorful and fascinating characters that are fodder for the legends of the old west.
Initial discoveries of predominately gold ore were first made at this location on May 6, 1897. G. F. Colton filed the first claim, later to become the Duplex Mine.The Searchlight Mining District was founded July 20, 1898. The Quartette Mining Company, formed in 1900, became the mainstay of the Searchlight District, producing almost half of the area's total output. In May, 1902, a 16-mile narrow-gauge railroad was built down the hill to the company's mill on the Colorado River.
The Searchlight Post Office was established in October 1898. Searchlight began to boom in 1902 and reached its peak year in 1907. Up to 1940 total production amounted to $4.5 million. On March 31, 1907, the 23.22-mile Barnwell and Searchlight Railroad connected the town with the then main Santa Fe line from Needles to Mojave. By 1919 trains were operating over the B and S Railroad only twice a week. A severe washout on September 23, 1923, halted traffic completely. Train service was never restored.
In the 1900's, Searchlight was a typical busy mining town of a reported 1,500 people. At this time, they were larger than Las Vegas. There were many gold and silver mines that were good producers in the Searchlight mining district. The "Mines of Searchlight" map dated October 1906, shows that there were well over 300 mining claims in the area at that time. Eventually, the gold and silver production cost went up and the grade of ore went down, so people started to move on. By 1927, there were about 50 people left in Searchlight.
Scott Joplin, who never lived in Searchlight, was so intrigued by the stories of his composer friend, Tom Turpin - who had spent time in Searchlight in his youth - that he composed the Searchlight Rag. Searchlight Rag (John Cowles)

Searchlight Museum - The Searchlight Heritage Museum, a satellite of the Clark County Heritage Museum, reports the history of the mining boom town of Searchlight, which once surpassed Las Vegas in population. The story of Searchlight mining and railroad heritage and its many colorful pioneer citizens is told through photos, artifacts, exhibits, and an outdoor mining park.

Searchlight, Nevada
Searchlight, Nevada is located about halfway between Las Vegas and Laughlin, Nevada on US Highway 95. The population in 2000 was 576. The elevation is 3,540 feet. Early gold discoveries were made in 1897, and the Searchlight Post Office was established in 1898. The Quartette Mining Company was founded in 1900, and the Searchlight Boom began two years later, reaching its peak in 1907. That year also saw the start of the Barnwell and Searchlight Railroad connecting the town to the main Sante Fe line from Needles to Mojave.
The population swelled to about 5000 souls, more than in Las Vegas at the time. In 1906, there were over 300 mine claims in the Searchlight area. By 1940 the mines had produced more than four and a half million dollars worth of gold, even though the grade of ore worsened to wher many began to abandon the town. By 1927, in fact, there were about 50 people left in Searchlight. It was almost a ghost town.
In the early 1930s, silent movie stars, Clara Bow, the 'It Girl', and her western star husband, Rex Bell moved to Searchlight and their 'Walking Box Ranch', where they eventually raised a family. Edith Head, the movie costume designer spent some time in town. Harry Reid, US Sentator from Nevada was born there in 1939, and loves the town he was raised in to this day. James Cashman, one of Las Vegas' pioneer business men, got started selling cars from his garage in Searchlight in 1910, when Las Vegas was still primarily a 'tent town' and Searchlight was booming.
The climate is a little cooler than Las Vegas because Searchlight is on a higher elevation, but it still ranges in the nineties in the summer. But if you're looking to spend the day in the Searchlight area and you would like to plan some recreation into your trip, don't forget that the town is only twenty miles from Cottonwood Cove Resort on Lake Mojave.
If its gambling that you're looking for, The Nugget Casino and Restaurant are right on Highway 95. Searchlight and Cottonwood Cove Resort are well worth a day long trip from spring through fall of the year.

COLUMBIANA-With a conference title no longer a possibility, the Crestview softball team is now building for the tournament.
The Rebels took another step in the right direction Wednesday, overcoming a handful of missed opportunities to edge past Springfield 3-2 at Crestview High School.
The Rebels improve to 14-4 overall and 6-3 in the Inter-Tri County league upper tier, while Springfield drops to 8-6 overall and 7-4 in the ITCL upper tier. Neither team has a chance of catching first-place South Range (12-0 ITCL upper tier) but that didn't make Wednesday's game any less important as both team prepare for the start of postseason play next week.
"We are starting to play really well," Crestview senior third baseman Anna Hardenbrook said. "Things were rough at the beginning of the year, but now we are starting to come together and we are ready to make a run in the tournament."
Hardenbrook powered the Rebels with two doubles, a single and two runs scored. Crestview squandered multiple threats against Springfield starter Josie Applegarth and wound up stranding eight runners, but the Rebels came up with enough timely hits to slip away.
"We were seeing the ball well most of the night and making hard contact," Hardenbrook said. "We couldn't take advantage of all our opportunities but we got people home when we needed to."
One of those chances came in the fifth. With the score tied at two, Hardenbrook doubled with one out, stole third and scored the go-ahead run on a fielder choice groundout by Bri Cope. Hardenbrook also tied the score in the second when she led off with a single, sped to third on a fielding error and scored on a fielders choice by Cope. Crestview's other run came in the fourth on an RBI single by Carlie Deidrick.
"On any given night, we have a number of players who can step up and get the momentum started for us," Crestview coach Clarence Sicklesmith said. "Tonight Anna really stepped up by getting on base all three times and we were able to push her home."
For much of the night, it appeared the Rebels were on the verge of opening a wide lead. After Hardenbrook tied the score in the second, Crestview still had two on with one out, but could not capitalize. The Rebels loaded the bases in the third, but came away empty in part because Lindsey Balmenti fell down rounding third base. A two-on, one-out situation in the fourth ended with a double play.
"We have a lot of girls who can hit the ball," Sicklesmith said. "We had so many runners on it felt like we were waiting for a big hit the whole night."
Springfield took a 1-0 lead in the first on an RBI single by Shelby Sandrock. The Tigers went ahead 2-1 in the fourth on a long home run by Charley Troggio. The Tigers did not mount a big threat the rest of the game, though as Crestview sophomore Autumn Lindsay threw seven solid innings and retired 11 of the last 12 batters.
"She (Lindsay) threw a real solid game," Springfield coach Taylor McMullen said. "We hit a few balls hard but their defense made some nice plays.
With five seniors and a balanced lineup full of power (eight of the nine starters have hit at least one home run). The Rebels are brimming with confidence headed into next weeks Div. IV state tournament. The Rebels enter as the two-seed in the Lisbon district. Western Reserve-the ITCL lower tier frontrunner-is the top seed.
"Looking towards the end of the year, we think we have a good chance," Sicklesmith said. "We've been talking a lot amongst ourselves at this team's potential with five seniors. The attitude during the second part of the year has been terrific."
Springfield hosts Salem tomorrow as part of the Mahoning Valley Invitational. Crestview is at East Palestine.
Game notes
Springfield High School will hold the Mahoning Valley Invitational softball tournament at its athletic complex starting tomorrow. The 24-team tournament will feature a round-robin format with each team guaranteed three games. South Range is the host and will provide all equipment and field maintenance. The event is held at Springfield because the Tigers feature four regulation-size fields. The entry fee for each team was $200.
"We think it's a great opportunity for us to get some extra games in before the tournament starts," McMullen said. "We get to go against some bigger schools, which will be a good experience."

Paul D. Camp Community College President Paul Wm. Conco congratulates Gloria Shearrin for being selected as the 2013-14 recipient of the 40/7 Society Scholarship.
In addition to roughly 50 other scholars, Gloria Shearrin of Suffolk has been selected to receive the 40/7 Society Scholarship from Paul D. Camp Community College.
Shearrin, in her fourth semester at the Hobbs Suffolk Campus of PDCCC, is studying to earn Career Studies Certificates for Medical Office Billing Clerk and Medical Office Specialist.
"Receiving this scholarship has lightened my financial burden, allowing me to focus more on the most important aspect of school—learning," she said.
After earning an Associate degree in Medical Office Administration, she plans to pursue a bachelor's degree and work as a professional medical manager.
The 40/7 Society Scholarship was created in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the College and the inauguration of its seventh president. Community members and local businesses invested $407 each to create an endowed scholarship for a non-traditional student.
In addition, a recipient must have a financial need and be in good academic standing at the College.
"This generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community," she said. "I hope one day I am able to help students achieve their goals just as I have been helped."

UAlbany Professor Examines Role of Mental Health Courts
The grant will allow Redlich to examine the effectiveness of MHCs in alleviating the overrepresentation of people with significant mental health problems within the criminal justice system.
ALBANY, N.Y. (July 23, 2014) -- University at Albany School of Criminal Justice Associate Professor Allison Redlich has been awarded a $99,371 NARSAD grant from the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation to examine the mediating role of mental health courts in the treatment of individuals with serious mental health problems.
The grant will allow Redlich to examine the effectiveness of Mental Health Courts (MHCs) in alleviating the overrepresentation of people with diseases such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or major depression within the criminal justice system. MHCs are specialty courts for persons with serious mental illness charged with crimes that mandate treatment. The ultimate goal is to divert persons with mental illness from the criminal justice system into community-based treatment. Currently, the prevalence of persons with serious mental health problems in jail or prison is five times more than the general population.
School of Criminal Justice Associate Professor Allison Redlich
"There is consistent evidence that MHCs reduce arrests and number of days in jail, however the mechanisms by which MHCs produce these reductions are entirely unclear," said Redlich. "One presumption held by MHCs is that untreated mental illness causes criminal behavior, and that by treating the illness, criminality will decrease. However, this presumption lacks empirical support."
In the proposed research, Redlich aims to determine the pathways to criminal justice success (e.g., new arrests, self-reported violence) with a focus on the roles, type and severity of mental illness and access to mental health treatment. Working with student researchers, Redlich will look beyond the simple receipt of treatment, and examine treatment types such as crisis/ER, outpatient or 24-hour residential care, as well as treatment motivation, satisfaction, and perceived barriers.
Redlich and her students will try to determine these pathways by examining data on a sample of offenders with mental health problems diverted to a MHC vs. a comparable group who remained in the traditional criminal court system. The goal is to determine if MHC participation mediates the relationship between disorder, treatment, and criminal justice outcomes.comments powered by Disqus

A 24-year-old Jersey City man has been missing for more than a month, and his family is seeking the public's help in finding him.
Justin A. Soto was last seen with his half-brother and cousin in a hookah bar on Central Avenue on Sept. 18. His half-brother, Joshua Soto, 20, said they "were chillin'" when Justin looked at his phone and told the pair he was leaving.
Since Justin was bouncing around between staying with his father and other relatives, it took the family three days to realize that no one had heard from him since that night.
"I'm afraid that he might be hurt somewhere -- or dead," said Jenny Rivera, Justin's mom. "It's not like him to just go off somewhere. He has always stayed close to home."
Rivera said that her son "has some mental issues" and he never would go far from home by himself -- and he would never stay out of touch this long "unless something was wrong."
"He was jumped a few years back and he was never the same," Joshua Soto said. Even the night they went to the hookah bar, "he wasn't in the right state of mind."
Family members fear that even if Justin, described as 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds, wanted to reach out to them, he can't because he left his phone at the hookah bar that night.
The family has checked with homeless shelters, hospitals and the jails and also have filed a missing persons report, but there's been no sign of Justin.
"I lost a granddaughter earlier this year," Rivera said. "I don't want to bury a son. I'd rather have him be locked up in jail -- just not dead."
The family is also circulating fliers with Justin's photo throughout Jersey City. They find it hard to believe they can't find him.
"He's a good boy," his mother said. "I just want him to pick up the phone and let me know he's alive."

Maybe I'll clean it and give it a shot... (pun intended) :D
August 21, 2004, 10:06 PM
No offense but I really don't think you get what bump firing is. It is using the recoil of the rifle to move in relation to your stationary finger such that the rifle fires again upon return to its original position.
If you are "bump firing" with a 22 LR in a Marlin 60, I don't think you really are bump firing. You are moving your finger. If you aren't moving your finger, you've re-written the laws of physics.
August 22, 2004, 06:45 AM
I know exactly what it is. I haven't tried it with the Marlin, I was just asking if anybody had done it. Maybe I'll try it and see when I get back out in the country next week or the week after.

If you've gotten the trigger down light enough it could work, Marlin 60s with very light triggers are notorious for firing doubles on their own. Something about the trigger/sear relationship uses the trigger pull weight to keep everything in check.

I've tried; it doesn't work. Not enough recoil.
I assume you were kidding on the magnums!

Why NYC Kids Rule the Chess World
By Jill Caryl Weiner
DALLAS — When 10-year-old Drew French slid his rook down the center of the board to checkmate his opponent, it sealed the victory for his team from P.S. 166 during last weekend's National Elementary School Chess Championships here. And the Manhattan school wasn't the only one to bring chess trophies back to the five boroughs: city schools finished on top in five out of nine sections.
"New York teams are so dominant, they might as well call this the state championships," Matthew Noble, a chess coach at a school in Tucson, Ariz., said during the tournament in Dallas.
The city's chess prowess extends to all grades. At the junior high championships in April, New York City schools claimed first and third in the top level and won three of the remaining five sections. When high schools from across the country faced off in Nashville earlier this month, traditional chess powerhouses Hunter College High School, Brooklyn's I.S. 318 and the Bronx High School of Science took all three top spots in the tournament's highest level of play.
New York's best grade school team demonstrated just how powerful the city's scholastic chess scene has become with an extraordinary feat: besting accomplished opponents nearly twice their age. The Panda Pawns from P.S. 124 in Manhattan's Chinatown won top honors in the second-toughest division at the national high school championship.
"It's kind of awkward," said Sean Chung, 10 years old, who stands all of 4-foot-6. "Everyone else is much taller than us." Chung, one of the senior members of the Panda Pawns, went undefeated in the three-day tournament, winning five games and taking two draws.
Competing at the high school level wasn't a move P.S. 124 wanted to make. After defeating the Dalton School to become statewide champions at the elementary level, the team had its sights set on beating their peers at nationals. But the dates of the grade school tournament conflicted with a mandatory state test. The test date was changed after plane tickets to Nashville had already been purchased, so the team went ahead with its backup plan.
"That these little, bitty elementary school kids could win at that level is quite surprising and quite an accomplishment," said Bill Hall, executive director of the U.S. Chess Federation. "That is serious chess."
"It was a miracle," said Yury Lapshun, who holds the chess title of international master and coaches at P.S. 124. "We knew we had a strong team but it was a tough competition."
How do chess experts account for New York's success? The fact that chess has entered public and private schools — both as part of the curriculum and as an after-school activity — provides a large pool of talent for local tournaments, at which young players gain deep competitive experience. Immigrants from chess-rich cultures, such as the Russian-born Mr. Lapshun, have helped raise the city's quotient of devotees, who foster interest in the game as parents and often serve as instructors.
Students "are being taught by the top chess trainers in the world. It is absolutely astounding that we have access to these talented coaches," said David MacEnulty who directs the program at Dalton, where chess is taught to all students from kindergarten through second grade. Three grandmasters work with Dalton students, including Russian émigré and famed chess trainer Miron Sher.
The city also benefits from its unusual status as a strong chess economy that can support a small army of instructors. In New York, private tutors typically command between $50 and $100 per hour, chess historian Bruce Pandolfini said. As a tutor himself, Mr. Pandolfini charges $150 per hour for his services.
Noe Garza, a volunteer coach at an after-school program in San Benito, Texas, joked about the uneven distribution of chess talent during the elementary school championships. "We have a saying," he said. "In New York, throw a rock and nine times out of 10 you will hit a grandmaster."
Robust instruction isn't limited to tony private schools and their elite public counterparts.
Chess-in-the-Schools, a nonprofit, is the city's largest provider of chess instruction both in after-school settings and as part of the curriculum, working with 13,000 students at 50 Title I schools, which serve low-income populations. The group also trains teachers on how to start chess programs. And it's just one of several organizations, including the National Scholastic Chess Foundation and NY Chess Kids, working in schools and organizing tournaments.
Drew French, the student who sealed P.S. 166's victory at nationals, is a fitting example of the city's chess environment. The fourth grader practices twice a week with his team, volunteers to work with younger players once a week and spends weekends competing in tournaments around the city. Chess-in-the-Schools helped his school on the Upper West Side run a tournament.
His mother, Sherry French, said she wasn't surprised by the first thing Drew wanted to do when he returned home from the national tournament: play chess. "He's always asking to play chess," she said.

Office SpaceHeather Spohr
When we moved into our house last year, my husband Mike and I were very excited to finally have a room we could dedicate to office space. We both work from home, so having a place that's just for work is definitely a must. We bought two big desks so we'd each have our own work station, along with two bookcases for our things.
But a year later, I've realized two crucial things we did wrong. First, it was too hard for us to share the large computer. I need a big screen for my photography classes, and he needs the big screen for his writing. Luckily, we were able to get a large monitor that we can plug into a laptop. Problem solved!
Second, our desks? HAVE NO DRAWERS. That leads to a situation like this:
Paper and bills EVERYWHERE! It was awful, especially because we each added to the piles, and we were messing up each other's systems (what, you don't have a system to your piles of papers?). But we only had to buy one extra piece of furniture to organize everything.
See it there, under the two desks? It's a two-drawer cabinet. Our paperwork fit inside neatly. And because we've done everything evenly, I have a drawer and Mike has a drawer. It's perfect for us! Now we just have to stay out of each other's systems and we'll be all set.
How do you share office space?

I am attempting to use IDR, and I am running BackupExec v7.3 on my backup
server which is running NT 4.0 server/Enterprise. all backup jobs are running
well and I can do restores with no problems.
I can create the IDR disks for a given client machine, but when I attempt
to do a recovery of that server IDR dies will attempting to start the recovery
tape job for the server to be recovered I get and error message stating that
the job failed. I checked the backup server's job log and the job actually
initialed but then it dies. I checked the BackupExec
Job log and the error message states "access denied to C$, etc." I know
there are no permission access issues because I backed up the target server
before initiating the recovery process. Then, prior to attempting the recovery
process, I simulated a boot partition failure by completely wiping out the
boot partition. Hence, the IDR process reformatted the target partition then
attepmted to recover the files, this is when the error occurs. Anyone got
any ideas on this?

Received 14 July, 2006

It is currently accepted that exposure to antiretroviral therapy may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in HIV-infected patients, although other well-known quite prevalent factors such as tobacco smoking account for an important part of that risk [1], and the discontinuation of antiretroviral therapy is paradoxically associated with a higher risk than that of maintaining antiretroviral therapy [2]. Nevertheless, the absolute rate of myocardial infarction in HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy is low [3]. Although hypertension is a well-recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease in the general population, it has not been so well studied in HIV-infected patients in whom blood pressure assessments are not routinely performed. The study by Crane et al. [4] offers potentially useful data on the blood pressure of HIV-infected patients initiating antiretroviral therapy. However, we believe that there are certain points concerning the methods and the interpretation of the results that need further comment.
The authors do not explain the criteria followed for the election of the antiretroviral regimen in each patient. It may be reasonable to consider that those patients more deeply immunosuppressed or those with higher plasma viral loads might have received antiretroviral regimens different from those with a better immunological and virological status. Although this is a prospective observational study, there are no longitudinal data on blood pressure assessments or the duration of exposure to individual antiretroviral drugs. It would have been useful to know the trend of changes in blood pressure after starting antiretroviral therapy and if such changes were maintained over time. The statistical analysis was performed according to the initial therapy assigned irrespective of subsequent changes. Whereas an intent-to-treat analysis is useful to assess the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy, it is arguable that the assessment of any potential adverse effect be analysed exclusively by intent to treat. It does not seem reasonable that the supposed toxicity ascribed to any drug be triggered without exposure to the potential culprit antiretroviral drug.
Regarding the assessment of blood pressure, it should be noted that current guidelines recommend performing two readings [5,6], but the authors do not mention whether they routinely followed this recommendation. The definition of outcomes indicating elevated blood pressure in the study was not standardized. A 10-mmHg increase may occur within the intrinsic variability of the assessment, and it may be irrelevant if such an increase is not sustained over time.
Some drug factors such as the use of lopinavir/ritonavir (compared with efavirenz) and tenofovir plus lamivudine (compared with zidovudine plus lamivudine) lost their significance when the increase in body mass index associated with antiretroviral therapy was also analysed. Body mass index and blood pressure are directly related in the general population [7,8], and an increase in body mass index should be expected to be associated with an increase in blood pressure. An increase in body weight (and therefore in body mass index) should be expected to occur in antiretroviral-naive patients after several months of successful antiretroviral therapy [9,10], and some experts consider this change in weight as a 'return-to-normality' sign induced by the beneficial effects of antiretroviral therapy [11]. Body mass index has been also identified as an independent risk factor for hypertension in HIV-infected patients in several studies [11–14]. The finding that patients with a lower CD4 cell count had a higher risk of increased blood pressure has previously been described in some [13] but not other [11,12] studies on the risk of hypertension in HIV-infected patients.
In the study by Crane et al. [4], most of the blood pressure values reported were normal or borderline. Therefore, antiretroviral therapy in general did not induce hypertension in most of the patients studied. Several clinical trials have been conducted with lopinavir/ritonavir and with the backbone tenofovir plus lamivudine, some of them with long-term follow-up [15,16]. In those trials, blood pressure was included among the variables routinely assessed, and there have been no reports showing a clinically significant increase in blood pressure in any of the arms studied. Because lopinavir/ritonavir (among protease inhibitors) and the combination of tenofovir plus lamivudine (among nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors) have been among the most virologically potent options, it may be argued that an optimal virological effect associated with these therapies could be associated with a higher increase in body mass index in the study by Crane et al. [4].
In our opinion, the most important conclusions in the study by Crane et al. [4] should be that an increase in blood pressure associated with an increase in body mass index should be expected in HIV-infected patients starting successful antiretroviral therapy, and that such an increase does not necessarily fulfil the diagnostic criteria for hypertension. The potential long-term risk of cardiovascular disease associated with such an increase in blood pressure cannot be adequately elucidated from the study, and the potential differential effects of individual antiretroviral drugs on increasing blood pressure should not be overemphasized.

Canton can't get big hit in title game loss
June 14, 2013 - Mitch Rupert
By MITCH RUPERT
STATE COLLEGE – Cole Peterson learned quite the handy piece of information in the first inning Friday at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. He watched two screaming line drives come back over his pitching mound and knew Canton was on to his fastball.
The gameplan changed in a hurry. The undefeated pitcher from Johnsonburg was ready to feed the Warriors a steady diet of curveballs. It's not exactly a pitch he has a ton of confidence in, but it was a change he had to make.
The changed paid off. The right-hander allowed five baserunners to reach second base Friday morning, but only one reached third. Canton failed to come up with a big hit and lost the PIAA Class A state championship game to Peterson and the Rams, 5-0.
The day was full of great scoring opportunities for Canton in a game which was scoreless through 5 ½ innings. But none of them materialized thanks to Peterson's breaking ball.
"His curveball, it wasn't a big looper and it didn't break real hard, but it was slow and it was hard to adjust to," Canton leadoff hitter Emmett Watson said. "You got to think fastball the whole time and when you pick up the spin, you have to adjust and take it to right field. It was difficult. He was a great pitcher and he did a great job."
First it was inducing a tailor-made 6-4-3 double play in the first inning with two runners on base for Canton. Then it was a line drive right at second baseman Quinn Luhr with the bases loaded and two outs in the fourth inning. And then it was a pop-up in the sixth with two runners on and two outs.
They were all chances which came in a 0-0 game. And they were all chances Canton failed to capitalize on. The Warriors struck out just six times against Peterson, who finished the year with nearly 120 strikeouts, but of the balls it put into play with runners in scoring position, none went for a hit.
The Warriors were 1 for 11 with runners on base. And it was 0 for its last 10 in the situation. "Getting baserunners on and then not executing is a big problem," Watson said. "We tried our best to get the hits down. They just didn't get down."
"We were still hacking away at the ball, they just made plays," Canton's Connor Route said. "We just didn't string the hits together. We needed that one to get our confidence going and it didn't happen. The ball didn't go our way."
Trevor Route, who was hitting .318 through the regular season, was the spark plug for the Warriors on Friday. His one-out single in the first got a rally going until a double play ended the frame. He led off the fourth with a single and Canton loaded the bases before the line drive to second ended the threat. And his leadoff walk in the sixth started a string of fielder's choice plays by Johnsonburg until the Rams got out of the inning.
And Peterson's curveball was a big reason why. The Warriors had to respect Peterson's fastball which consistently sat at 81-82 for seven innings. And the wrinkle of a curve was off-speed enough he could get Canton's batters rolling it over or popping it up.
"I like to throw it because it will catch them off-guard, but they were also on my fastball. So that's why I kept going off-speed," Peterson said. "I threw more breaking balls and tried to pound them in with it to get some more double plays and some high flies. It was great defense we played."
One run could have completely changed the complexion of the game, too. Garrett Wesneski was brilliant for five innings for Canton before running out of gas in the sixth. He not only matched Peterson pitch for pitch, he was even just a little bit better.
One run carried so much weight that Johnsonburg was playing in the infield in the fourth inning of a 0-0 game with its two, three and four hitters due up in the bottom of the inning. The stress of having to be perfect finally got to Wesneski in the sixth. Johnsonburg sent 11 batters to the plate and scored all five of its runs as it found hole after hole and Wesneski began to labor.
"It would have been nice if we would have had a few runs," Canton coach Bob Rockwell said. "It would have taken some pressure off him, but it didn't happen. He kept battling out of situations. We just couldn't get that run to take the pressure off him."

Professor, Department of Biological Structure
My work is aimed at understanding why the auditory hair cells of the bird regenerate while those of the mammalian auditory system do not. My current focus is on receptor tyrosine kinases and their signaling pathways in the hair cells and supporting cells. In a screen of receptor tyrosine kinases in inner ear of the chicken, I found a number of different receptors expressed, and am currently concentrating on the FGF receptor family. FGFR3, is highly expressed in a specific set of supporting cells in the chicken sensory receptor epithelium (also known as the basilar papilla). This gene is specifically downregulated in these cells during the regeneration process. I am currently investigating whether the downregulation of this gene is critical to the process of regeneration. I am also interested in the role of FGFs and FGFRs in the development of the mammalian cochlea. I am particularly interested in the role of FGFR3 in the development of the tunnel of Corti. In the FGFR3 knockout mouse the tunnel fails to develop and the mice are deaf. I am looking at what transcription factors are activated by FGF signaling to identify the important factors governing the development of the Pillar cells that line the tunnel. In addition I am interested in what FGFs are expressed in the developing cochlea and using PCR hope to find the FGFs that are required for the postnatal development of the organ of Corti.
E14.5 cochlea and saccule cultured for 4 DIV on collagen-matigel coated inserts. The cochlea was immunolabeled for gfi1 (green) which is a nuclear hair cell marker, Sox2 (blue) is a marker for the sensory epithelium and prox1 (red) labels a subset of support cells.

'Wonder Clock' not so wonderful
Ciara O'Brien
As if women didn't have enough pressures, now your iPhone is getting in on the act. Specifically, it's concentrating on your womb.
Yes, you read correctly.
Tell the Wonder Clock when you were born and it will tell you how much time you have left to start trying to procreate – if that's where you're heading in life, naturally. It's specific down to the amount of hours, minutes and seconds you have left.
It's like a ticking time bomb on your iPhone, gradually upping the pressure every day. And it charges you €1.59 for the privilege.
But wait. If the medical experts are to be believed, age isn't the only factor in fertility. Doctor's don't tend to give you a "days, minutes, seconds" ETA on infertility either. So how can Wonder Clock be so specific?
The answer is, of course, that it can't.
The Wonder Clock by its own admission is not meant as a medical diagnosis. Instead it's "an interactive, conceptual piece that seeks to start a necessary and empowering conversation about childbearing".
Er, right. Ok.
I think I'll pass, thanks.

Featured Golf News
The Original Rules of Golf Revisited
Back in 1744, in between swills of whiskey and claret, the Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers came up with the "13 Original Rules of Golf." One need only to look at Rule 2: "Your tee must be on the ground" to know they were consuming mass quantities of liquor. Where else could one tee a ball - on the Space Shuttle?
After all these ensuing years, it's time for a new "13 Rules of Golf." Here's my shot at it:
1. After a round, no golfer shall say what they shot that day unless asked. No one cares but you! The penalty for breaking this rule is to buy a round of drinks for everyone within earshot as well as the college tuition for their heirs.
2. Any golfer yelling "Fore!" after an errant shot must yell "Fore!" before his ball actually hits the ground. The decibel of their shout must be louder than Marilyn Monroe singing "Happy Birthday Mr. President" to JFK. For failing to live up to this standard, the golfer will immediately be put on a PT boat to be hit by a torpedo in the middle of the South Pacific.
3. After saying the tired clich�: "Hit it, Alice!" after leaving yet another putt short of the cup, the offending golfer shall have to write a 1,000-word essay on the fact that the actual phrase is: "Hit it, Aliss!" and refers to Peter Aliss leaving a putt short in a crucial Ryder Cup match.
4. Any golfer caught whistling in an irritating manner while golfing (and in recorded history the only non-irritating whistling is the opening theme of "The Andy Griffith Show") shall lose the use of their putter and driver for the remainder of their golfing life. Remember, if the Golf Gods wanted you to whistle they would have given you wings and a beak.
5. The penalty for the wearing of Spandex by any male during a round of golf is the electric chair. No exceptions.
6. Any golfer begging "Is this good?" for his next putt shall have to play 20 rounds of miniature golf before being allowed back on a real golf course.
7. The failure to replace your divot will result in having to place the offending divot down your trousers for the remainder of the round. For a second infraction of this rule, the other golfers in the group shall have the option to glue two divots on the side of the offender's face like muttonchops.
8. Any golfer wearing shorts must take a long look in the mirror before venturing to a golf course. If the veins on your exposed legs look like the grid of the U.S. Highway system, a Shar-Pei or both, long pants are mandatory. Failure to live up to this norm will result in the wearing of a beekeeper suit while playing for the rest of your golfing years.
9. A golfer giving unsolicited swing advice to playing companions shall be barred from the game for the remainder of their lives as well as golf in heaven (or hell), if it exists. No exceptions.
10. The failure to rake a bunker after hitting out of one shall result in having the equivalent amount of sand placed into the law-abiding golfer's shoes forthwith. Those shoes must then be worn for a fortnight, even while bathing.
11. The failure to pay up on a golfing wager shall result in the deadbeat being tied to the roof of the vehicle used to pick up range balls. The pro shop shall supply free range balls to any golfers wanting to take advantage of this situation.
12. Failure to repair your pitch marks on a green shall result in having to hit your shots with garden tools for a year. All drives must be played with a weed-whacker.
13. Any golfing saying "I didn't quite get all of it," after hitting a drive of 250 yards or longer shall be required to replay their drive with a Nerf ball. If this golfer repeats this infraction a second time, they will be required to play the next hole in Spandex which, according to Rule 6, results in the electric chair. No exceptions.
Well, these are just my ideas for new golfing rules. I'd love to hear yours at email@example.com before I send them off to the R&A.
