CHICAGO - Ann Landers, the columnist whose snappy, plainspoken and timely advice helped millions of readers deal with everything from birth to death, died Saturday. She was 83.
The death of Landers, whose real name was Esther Lederer, was announced by the Chicago Tribune, publisher of her column. She died less than two weeks before her July 4 birthday.
Landers, whose column is carried by the Amarillo Globe-News, died of multiple myeloma at her Chicago apartment.
"There was absolutely no wall between Ann Landers and her readers. It went straight from her to them," Tribune syndicated columnist and author Bob Greene said Saturday. "I don't think there has ever been the kind of mutual trust and affection between writer and reader as there was with Eppie."
Landers' column first appeared in print Oct. 16, 1955, in the Chicago Sun-Times. In 1993, she was the world's most widely syndicated columnist, appearing in more than 1,200 newspapers worldwide with 90 million readers daily. Her twin sister, Pauline, followed her into the profession as writer of the Dear Abby column.
The feisty, outspoken Landers was a housewife when she won the Sun-Times contest to become the second Ann Landers after the woman who created the column died.
At the end of her career, she was a with-it great-grandmother whose name often appeared on lists of the country's most influential women.
"Eppie Lederer was a great columnist and a wonderful person," said John W. Madigan, chairman and CEO of Tribune Co. "She helped people with her advice, and made important contributions to society through the causes she supported."
Psychology Today once gave her credit for likely having more influence on the way people work out their problems than any other person of her era.
"All the column means to me is an opportunity to do good in the world," she said in a 1993 interview with that magazine.
She attributed her skill to sheer instinct.
"I relate to these people like they are almost sitting in the same room. I feel their pain," she once said.
Her advice was always blunt, often sympathetic and sometimes sarcastic. But her answers, even to some of the silliest questions, were heartfelt.
In her column published in today's Globe-News, Landers gave advice to "Depressed in New Jersey" and "Stu in Florida." And to "Desperate in Des Moines, Iowa," whose husband is keeping his earnings from her, she wrote: "Edgar will not allow you to have any of his income and is planning to sell the house? Something smells rotten to me.
"See a lawyer immediately, and find out how to protect yourself and your children if Edgar leaves you and takes all his assets with him."
When she began her column, newspaper editors forbade her from writing about homosexuality. In later years, there were virtually no taboos: In an Oct. 24, 1993, column, for example, she endorsed masturbation or mutual masturbation as a safe, realistic alternative to abstinence for everyone from teens to the elderly.
In a letter published June 16, 1993, a man wrote of being sexually aroused by his girlfriend's young daughters. In a typically pithy response, Landers wrote: "The klinker in your thinker has a pedophile-like twist that could cause real trouble at any time. Please get counseling at once."
She was a believer in counseling and wasn't too big-headed to seek advice from prominent experts when a reader's problem proved too complicated.
Her column had lighthearted moments, though. Few topics excited readers more than the question of which direction the toilet paper should be hung in.
"She was like America's mother, and I'm not alone in my sadness," Landers' daughter, Margo Howard, told the Tribune.
"She was about fixing the world. She really wanted to make things better. She really cared about the people," said Howard, whose column, "Dear Prudence," appears in the online magazine Slate.
In addition to Howard, Lederer is survived by her sister and competitor in the advice column business, Pauline Esther "PoPo" Phillips, also known as Abigail Van Buren, author of the Dear Abby column.
Landers made headlines and inspired countless water cooler debates in 1985 when she asked women readers whether they prefer tenderness and cuddling or sexual intercourse. About 90,000 readers sent in responses, and 72 percent voted for cuddling, she reported.
She answered hundreds of letters a day from the office in her high-rise North Side apartment, dispensing thoroughly modern advice by typewriter because she just didn't like computers.
She was based at the Sun-Times until March 1987, when she switched syndication companies and moved to the Chicago Tribune.
The daughter of Russian immigrants, she was born Esther "Eppie" Friedman on July 4, 1918, in Sioux City, Iowa, 17 minutes before her twin sister. When Pauline became Dear Abby, her older sister was so angry they reportedly feuded several years before reconciling.
Landers married Jules Lederer, who helped found Budget-Rent-A-Car, in 1939 - in a gown matching that of her sister, who got married that same day.
The Lederers had a daughter, Margo. They divorced in 1975, a decision Landers announced in "the most difficult column I have ever tried to put together."
"How did it happen that something so good didn't last forever? The lady with all the answers does not know the answer to this one." Lederer died in January 1999.
Her long career was not without controversy. In 1982 she made headlines when it was revealed that she had recycled old material in her columns.
And her headstrong views got her into hot water in 1993, when she issued a national apology for adding her own inflammatory remarks to a letter from a charity watchdog group. Two years later, she apologized for calling Pope John Paul II a "polack."
Though she wasn't shy about expressing her own opinions in her columns, Landers once said she stayed sane by distancing herself from her readers' problems.
"I learned early in this work to take the problems seriously but not to take them too personally. I have to separate myself from the readers and realize what's happening to them is not happening to me," she told the Sun-Times in an interview marking her column's 30th anniversary.
She told readers at that time, "I intend to crank out this column as long as you find me useful and the good Lord gives me the strength to do it."

Lisa Marie Presley's lawyers are suing British newspaper the Daily Mail after it published an article suggesting that the singer had developed an "unhealthy appetite" and "has gained weight like her father Elvis."
Presley, 40, revealed the real reason for her expanding waistline – announcing her pregnancy to PEOPLE on Thursday – and lashed back at the media on her MySpace Celebrity blog. "I have had to show my cards and announce under the gun and under vicious personal attack that I am in fact pregnant," she wrote.
Her lawyer, Simon Smith, issued a press release announcing the libel claim. In the release, Smith said: "My client is deeply upset and offended by this article, especially as it was widely published just as she and her family were meant to be celebrating her happy news."
A Daily Mail spokesperson responded in a statement: "The first indication we had of Ms. Presley's complaint was on Friday night when we were served with a writ without any prior warning. We are investigating the matter."
As for her chances of winning the claim, "England has a long tradition of treating mere vulgar abuse or opinion as a serious slur on a person's reputation," Mark Stephens, leading London media law expert at law firm Finers Stephens Innocent, tells PEOPLE.
He speculates that "for an observation that would not be actionable in the USA, she will undoubtedly be recovering damages in London."

Weird things happen during a basketball season. Miami, down five with 28.6 seconds left in Game 6 of the 2013 Finals, secured an errant carom off the rim to find Ray Allen for the game-tying 3-pointer. A generator busts, releasing a fit of smoke and a game is postponed. Serge Ibaka injured a muscle that isn't present in 15 percent of the population, is ruled out for the season, returns five days later and makes a positive impact in the Western Conference Finals. Then the Spurs, losers of two straight, won Games 5 and 6 by a combined 33 points.
So perhaps Game 1 shouldn't been a huge surprise either. The air conditioning in the AT&T Center crapped out. The Miami Heat were crapped out by the fourth quarter. The Heat held a four-point lead heading into the final quarter. The Spurs were fumbling the ball — nine times in the third quarter — and the Splitter-Duncan tandem, a pairing which has been a staple of Gregg Popovich's rotation all season long, was exposed by Rashard Lewis.
Then a weird thing happened. The Spurs found their stride.
"It took us until halfway through the fourth where we really figured it out and started taking care of the ball," Tim Duncan said.
LeBron, seemingly infallible as they come, left the game with 3:59 remaining. His body failed him at the most inopportune moment and the Spurs crushed Miami, outscoring them by 13 points in the final four minutes. Don't blame LeBron* either; San Antonio was already well on their way to a dominating Game 1 victory before he left. They finished on a 31-9 run after all.
*In defense of LeBron: The man has played 14,607 minutes since the 2010-11 season, not including the Olympics. About a fourth of his minutes have been in the playoffs, where each possession saps even more mental and physical energy. He has the largest burden in the NBA — he is the Miami Heat. Cramps happen and, again, basketball is just weird sometimes.
The conditions weren't ideal*, of course. ESPN reported that the temperature on the court reached 90 degrees at one point. It was an unprecedented environment, at least in the NBA Finals — a raucous crowd of 20,000 plus and two teams of professional athletes playing basketball in a confined environment. It was hot, sweaty, unbearable. A flat-out mess. But it's not an excuse.
*Especially for Miami. Playing the Spurs on the road in the NBA Finals is already a tall order. They are 11-3 in home games during the Finals AND they had to deal with the environment. Tony Parker said post game that they upped the pace to push the Heat to the brink. It took 36 minutes, but it happened. San Antonio has that luxury. Miami doesn't. And there's the game.
Dwyane Wade was asked if he had played in these conditions before. "Not in the NBA," he said. "Not in the Finals. I think everybody has done it before."
Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, all with experience overseas, didn't mind the extra heat. They combined for 35 points and 19 assists in the 110-95 victory.
"I don't think we turned the ball over because of the temperature or the heat," Ginobili said. "I don't think it was a big factor … For sure I've played in more situations like this than with A/C on a court."
"Me, personally, it didn't bother me," Parker said. "It felt like I was playing in Europe. It didn't bother me at all."
The Spurs have been here before. So has Miami. These teams are well-versed in what it takes to win a title and winning games like this one — in adverse conditions, with everything going against you — certainly counts. Championship teams make the most of out of nothing. Championship teams get a few breaks, too. It's basically impossible to win a title without having a few blips of good luck and bad luck. It evens out eventually. (No kidding.)
The Spurs, for at least one game, showed their championship mettle. Miami is in a familiar position, down 0-1 in the NBA Finals. They've done it before, but they need a few fortuitous breaks in their favor.
Popovich: "Both teams are going to be happy that we have a couple days before the next game. Hopefully we can pay our bills."
Bosh: "I'm from Texas. We couldn't afford air conditioning in high school." (via Matthew Tynan)
Duncan: "I don't think I've ever played in anything like this since I've left the islands. It was pretty bad out there."
Battier: "I'd much rather have a hot gym than a cold gym." (via Ethan Skolnick)
Ginobili: "We are in the same exact spot as last year. We are up 1-0. They always come back. They always adjust well."
James: "At the end of the day, it's no discredit for what they did. They played extremely well." (via Joseph Goodman)
Green: "Like Pop says, we just kept pounding that rock." (via Matt Moore)
Parker: "I think Game 2 is huge … We need to stay focused and have the mentality that we didn't do anything."
- The Spurs won Game 1 with 22 turnovers, the highest turnover total by a winning team in NBA Finals history.
- The Spurs won their 11th straight Game 1, tying a NBA record.
- The win is the Spurs' eighth straight home victory by 15+ points, also a NBA record. They've won nine straight home games by a combined 187 points.
- When Splitter and Duncan shared the floor, the Spurs were outscored by 27.8 points per 100 possessions, per Matthew Tynan.
- Parker-Manu-Kawhi-Boris-Duncan led the team with eight minutes. They were +133.3 points per 100 possessions, per Andrew McNeill.
- Spurs were +30 in Boris Diaw's 33 minutes (!!!), a team-high.
- Spurs were +15 in the 15 minutes LeBron sat. That happened to be the final margin of victory. (Coincidence?)
- Tim Duncan tallied his 156th playoff double-double. He's one short of Magic Johnson for first all-time.
- Duncan is the first player since Wilt Chamberlain (1972) with 20+ points, 10+ rebounds and 90 percent shooting in the NBA Finals, per Jon Hartzell.
- Also: Duncan tallied his 25th double-double in the NBA Finals, the most since 1985.
- More Duncan: He's averaging 21.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 48.4 percent shooting in the NBA Finals.
- Last thing on Duncan: He won his 20th NBA Finals game, tied for 12th all-time. If the Spurs win the title, he'll move into eight place with Kobe Bryant.
Gatorade, spurned by LeBron in 2003, couldn't help but troll him on Twitter following the game. (Gatorade officially apologized today.)
Tim Duncan has committed 3,661 fouls in his career. All of them are horses****.

Based on a formula at Extreme Value Stocks ATHN is on a topmost 20 Overvalued index
Still there now?
I went and looked. Do not see that list but do see their write-up. They have a fair value of $12.23.
That represents the same price to various financial metrics afforded to Apple.
The difference is that Athena is almost completely owned by institutions while Apple was owned by millions of retail shareholders who tend to be momentum traders. Which accelerates moves on the way up and down.
I am going to sign up for this site. Very interesting. They are good at assembling disparate data into meaningful information based points of view. That is rare.
Very few stock sites do that with fundamentals. They just spout the fundamentals with no attempt to take a stand.
With respect to Athena I assume we will have to wait until Bush delivers the bad next quarter he alluded to.
Whatever concerns drove the stock down from 97 to 58 before exists now but in spades. You cannot get from here to decent multiples at the current stock price by growing revenues 30% with profit growth of 11% esp considering that the net margin steadily decreases.
Reality will come home to roost. This has a 10% up risk and a 50% down risk. I am short and will stay short.
Again. Having nothing to do with thinking it is a bad company. It is a fine okay company that offers very little that is actually different from a bunch of other vendors. It is just an absurdly over priced stock. With the wrinkle that it is held by strong hands.
Every $300 million dollar mindshare acquisition counts.
These longs do not care about value. They are informed by a higher power. Magical thinking.
Sentiment: Strong Sell

High time the PCC was transformed into an independent body – self-regulation of the Press by the Press is as much use as employing foxes to guard the hen house!
The PCC is an utterly ineffectual way of regulating the press.
Paul Dacre – the editor of the Daily Mail is a senior figure in the PCC so there is no way this complaint could ever have been upheld. There is a clear conflict of interest here.
Independent regulation is required.
Sign the Downing Street petition:
I'm sure the Daily Hate's editor saw to it that the verdict was one of "nothing to answer for". Agree that freedom of speech is vitally important, but when an article is printed purely on lazy hack gossiping, rather than having any basis in fact, then the PCC needs a serious overhaul. There has to be a balance.
perphaps next time we should skip PCC when complaining and head stright to courts where justice can be served properly
Please show us a big photo and all contact information on Ephraim Hardcastle. We need to expose these biggots – usually ugly, straight male journalists with a poor private life! Expose them, expose them, expose them! Tell us ALL ABOUT THEM!
If Iain Dale insists on hanging out with Tories, what does he expect? Why is he surprised that the Daily Mail, with its longstanding tradition of homophobia and bigotry, treated him in this way? These are the values of the tabloid and the Conservative Party that it serves. It's hardly a shock.
Yeah, Right on Charlie. If a man can't choose the political party of his own choosing without backbiting twats like you hurling abuse, then it's a sad day for politics. Typical Labourite policy on democracy: "If you're not a leftie, then you're a Nazi".
RobN of course it's his right (Iain Dale) to join some right wing party, and completely forget about the past or the number of tories that voted against the scraping of section 28 etc. Just like it is Charlie's and everone elses right to comment, however I am sure that I am not alone in wishing you would keep your reactionary rubbish to yourself. I find the fact that you have GOT TO comment on about every news story on here predictable and a bore. Do us all a favour, turn off your computer and go canvassing for the BNP, the Tories or what ever other right wing nonsense you are into this week. Thank you.
Don't waste time complaining to the Daily Mail Complaints Commission, it's run by the editor of the PCC.
Try the police instead. And again and again if you have to.
Don't prtend to be so civilized – you're not – bonb tbe Daily Mail off the face of the planet.

Apple's iPad continues to snare new
customers to around the world. Apple was happy to announce earlier in
May that it sold
over one million iPads in less than a month. Today, thanks to the
international launch of the "magical" device, sales have
the two million mark.
This past weekend saw the iPad launch
in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain,
Switzerland and the UK. Some stores even had customers lining
up for hours to get their hands on the device. And as always,
Apple CEO Steve Jobs was more than happy to gloat about his company's
latest creation.
"Customers around the world are
experiencing the magic of iPad, and seem to be loving it as much as
we do," said Jobs. "We appreciate their patience, and are working
hard to build enough iPads for everyone."
In other tablet news, Computex 2010
appears to be shaping up to be a showcase for iPad competitors.
Earlier today, we told you about two
new tablets from ASUS.
MSI is also getting in on the action
with the 10"
Wind-Pad. The device features a 1.66GHz Intel Atom processor, 2GB
of RAM, and a 32GB SSD. The device runs Windows 7 Home Premium with a
custom touch-focused UI running on top. Other features include USB
and HDMI ports, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a 3G wireless radio.
According to MSI, the device weighs
1.78 pounds and can operate for up to 8 hours on a charge.
MSI expects to make the Wind-Pad
available later
this year at a price of around $500.
Updated 5/31/2010 @ 11:48 am
OCW has some additional info on the MSI Wind-Pad. The device features a 1.3MP webcam, a GPS receiver, accelerometer, and a host of MSI-specific software to take advantage of the multi-touch screen.
quote: While I'm not going to get into the particulars of what MS's product can and can't do - I can say I have used *many* Win7 touch devices, and had a great experience on many of those. I would compare my experience to OSX-based touch devices, but there aren't any - so your point is both stupid and pedantic. Native touch app is native. Yes, thanks, now go drink a five-hour-energy and get back to your graphic design project.
quote: ...Well, first of all, iPhoneOS is not the OSX version of anything - saying so illustrates just how poorly informed you are. It's like saying that WM7 is the Phone version of Win7. It's not. Second, you just hit the nail on the head. OSX apps don't run on the iPad! Thanks, you've lost the argument at this point because you conceded my entire point. The rest is just you trying to argue that the iPad makes you feel better inside - which is alright, some people like having objects shoved into their rectums; but it's not for me.
quote: This isn't relevant to the point - a Win7 tablet is more versatile and useful than a thinOS tablet.
quote: What is this, an Earnings Call? For Christ's sake we're not watching a sporting event. Don't point to the numbers and use that as a justification for success - Apple's been selling inferior products at a huge markup for decades, it's nothing new.
quote: I wasn't aware there were any. I hope that helps you understand why.
quote: Most of the software I run on my PC is free. I don't care about App sales - and if you are a user of the platform, neither should you. Free is the best price of all. My browser of choice - free. My media player - free. Steam - free. CSS (a free mod for HL2) is free. I don't understand why people look at "finally having the ability to pay for the little knick-knack apps" as a good thing. I like to keep my money.
quote: This is just flat out wrong. 2 Million versus tens of millions of tablet PC's over the years? You can spout off your zealotry, but let's stick to the facts.

Victory State Bank Points to Mobile Cramming Scam

How to Avoid 'Cramming' Charges on Your Mobile Phone Bill
Staten Island's only community-based business bank warns of fraudulent phone fees
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Have you checked your mobile phone bill lately? See any charges for random text messages you get? Not reading your statement with an eye out for fraudulent charges crammed onto your bill can be a costly mistake.
It doesn't have to be that way. Here's how to detect and avoid cramming charges on your mobile bill:
- Check your phone bill each month. It's easy to ignore a billing statement after you've set up automated online payments. But taking time to read your statement online or the bill in the mail will help you detect fraudulent charges, and save you money.
- Treat websites that ask for your mobile phone number with caution. Phony websites advertising free prizes (think Justin Bieber tickets) in exchange for your mobile phone number, or other personal information, could be setting you up for a cram.
- Consider a block on third-party charges. Many phone carriers offer third-party blocking service for free.
- Know your mobile phone carrier's policy on refunds for fraudulent charges. Some carriers have a 60-day period for refund requests. Even if you've detected a years' worth of fraudulent charges, the phone carrier may offer to refund only a part of it.

Picks and Pans Main: Song
Talking With...
Mavis Staples is one of the more potent voices of modern soul, but her roots are in gospel. And, on this stunning new album, she sings with a soaring, liberating power that can make you feel the intensity of a Sunday service, even if you're just lying on your couch or driving in your car.
In one of the stranger musical couplings, noted bad-boy Prince has produced and written most of the songs on this new disc, as he did in 1989 on Staples' Time Waits for No One. In Prince, Staples has found a fluid, funky guiding force, and in Staples, Prince has found a muse with a voice that can make your hair stand on end. On the title track, inspired by the Rodney King case, Staples unleashes her husky, snarling alto, tearing into the charged, mid-tempo track. The Voice refers to Jesus, but Staples has infused every song with gospel's sparkle, be it the juiced-up rap "A Man Called Jesus," a remake of Prince's "Positivity" or the sweeping bal lad "Blood Is Thicker Than Time."
With backup help from her family and members of Prince's New Power Generation, Staples carries gospel's urgency and humanity onto the pop charts again. (Paisley Park/Warner Brothers)
The Indians
Pop music hasn't been this fragmented since disco and punk conspired to mercy-kill the Woodstock era in the late '70s. Yet turbulent times seem to give birth to daring, fiercely original groups, like the Pretenders, who made their debut in 1979. This year brings the Indians, who can also be heard on the new Kalifornia soundtrack.
Both bands are British, fronted by American women who moved to London to build careers as singer-songwriters. Like Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, the Los Angeles-born Angie Bianca of the Indians has a sinuous, intoxicating voice—a little too acrid to be considered conventionally pretty.
Bianca displays a rare facility for gliding through many of today's most popular musical forms, from the cage-rattling rock of "Bed of Roses" to the melodic rap of "Love" to the cloud-gazing balladry of "Look Up to the Sky." Like all good pop artists, she puts her own stamp on everything she touches. (Polydor)
Jane Siberry
With this collection of heart-fluttering love songs, Siberry—a quirky, intellectual Canadian songwriter—has produced the ultimate make-out album. Don't expect the lame clichés and programmed rhythms of typical romance music. Siberry changed her tune without sacrificing her intelligence. Her gentle voice and poetic lyrics seem more polished on this, her sixth album, and part of the credit is due to art-rock maestro Brian Eno, who produced two songs and gave general guidance. Fellow Canadian k.d. lang offered another boost by collaborating on the lilting duel "Calling All Angels."
During a year when Sleepless in Seattle has defeated Schwarzenegger at the box office, Siberry's tranquil songs of the heart just might push blustery Michael Bolton out of the love seat. So light the candles and pucker up. (Reprise)"
It may be time to check UB40's collective pulse. This chart-topping work from the British ensemble is so laid-back it borders on inert. The group originally scored with their Labour of Love albums, which reverently reworked soul classics in a horn-drenched, low-key reggae style. Promises and Lies is their first collection of originals in several years. The notable exception is the Rasta-Lite hit version of Elvis's "Can't Help Falling In Love." That track is indicative of the group's problem. Rather than being a reggae band, UB40 plays at being one, especially on the appalling "Reggae Music," which sounds like theme music for a Shriners convention in the Caribbean.
There are bright spots, though. "C'est la Vie" churgles along at a sassy pace, while "Higher Ground" is a dreamy lilt, guided by lead singer Ali Campbell's plaintive (if somewhat whiny) vocals. Luckily for UB40, the world is big enough to encompass the real and the ersatz, and if their legions of fans ever disappear, there's always a hip cruise ship in their future. (Virgin)
>Mavis Staples
"I DIDN'T START DOING SOLO BY choice," says Mavis Staples, 53. "I had to, because no record company-would sign my family. They said we were too old." The family, of course, is the Staple Singers, the renowned gospel group formed in the '50s, whose members also included Mavis's sisters Yvonne, 54, Cleo, 58, brother Pervis, 57, and their guitar-plucking "Pops," 77. The family started on the Southern circuit, raising the roof at Martin Luther King's Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, before switching to secular message music in the '60s. Though their pop album Bealtitude: Respect Yourself "went gold in 1972, the Staples were never able to match that success, and in 1987 they stopped recording.
"I was looking sad, and my father said, 'Mavis, you gel someone to record you, because the Lord has given you a voice.' " Not long after, she recalls, "Pops called me and said, 'Mavis, Prince is looking for you.' I said, 'What prince?' And he said, 'That one they call purple, Mavis!"
And so it came to pass that the purple one—long a Mavis fan—resurrected Staples' career in 1988, when he featured her on his Graffiti Bridge soundtrack, produced her 1989 comeback album, Time Waits For No One and took her to Europe as his opening act in 1990.
"We learn from each other," says Staples, who is divorced and lives in Chicago. "It's good for him to have somebody old enough to be his momma." And as for the moratorium on uttering the name Prince? Mavis laughs. "Being his momma," she declares, "I can call him anything I want!"

Tight Fit
Featuring Bambi Brooks and Brick Danger
So we got ourselves some kind of auto parts place to take over for this moneytalks. We did not have much luck at first but then we had a string of hotties come through. There was this one cute chick that came looking for some rare car part and another that needed help getting her car towed. After some negotiating and flashing of cash, we got both those babes to take out their titties. Then this really cute shortie came in for a job interview. She was very startled to see Kelsi whipping her tits out when we were in the interview but she warmed up, of course, once the cash started to flow. In no time, we had her butt naked and sucking cock. She then hopped right on for a hell of a ride. You have to see this cutie with some awesome curves get fucked every which way.
Grope And Poke
Featuring Skyla Novea and Adrian Maya
Jisel Lynn found a lucky lady to wear a box over her topless breasts. For each person who felt up her sweet tits under that box, she collected a hundred dollars. It was a fun time. Then, the crew had a casting and Skyla Novea made the cut. She accepted the money and revealed her big tits and round juicy ass. She accepted more money to suck and fuck that cock. She got her pussy pounded and got that man juice all over her pretty face.
Rub The Pole
Featuring Megan Sage and Adrian Maya
Another week of scoring a few hotties. The girls were top notch negotiators but we had the bands to make them dance. We went from having two of them show their moves on our portable stripper pole to a shoe store where we persuaded a big booty girl to give up the snatch for some cash. There were a few rejections but the amazing booty shaking, titty flashing and pussy pounding outweigh them.
All Over Marleigh
Featuring Jamie Marleigh and Adrian Maya
Busty Angel hosts this installment of Money Talks where we scour South Beach got some girls willing to get a makeshift money bra thrown on them using only honey to make the money stick. The only catch, it has to be out in the open. We allowed them to do it in an alleyway and they pasted all denominations of money all over their tits after plastered honey all over their chests. We were also able to convince Jamie to fuck all to impress us to "hire" her in a new position we were offering.
Sweet Hole
Featuring Kelly Paige and Adrian Maya
We had an ice cream truck last week and took full advantage looking around for hot girls. We wanted to see who would strip their tops off and let us give them some whip cream bikinis. We also had the idea of getting a hottie to eat a donut off a guys cock. We of course hit up the beach looking for some babes. It took a while and a lot of rejections before we landed two smoking hotties with perfect tits that where all about the whip cream bikinis. We also found one blondie that went for the dick donut. She got so into it, we managed to get her to suck his cock for more cash. Then we moved the party over to a clothing store that Adrian and Tony took over. They where on the hunt for some hotties and found one that was looking for a dress. She was very shy at first but of course once the money came out and we explained the show, she was more receptive. We started slow, just getting her top off to see her amazing breasts. She was too hot so we just dropped a bunch of cash to see if she was down to get nasty and boy did she. You can not miss this hottie taking turns with Adrian on Tonys cock. They sucked and fucked their way to a hot creamy load all over their pretty faces. HOT!!!
Lubing The Tube
Featuring Kirsten Lee and Adrian Maya
Adrian Maya and Tony held it down at his buddy's car shop. His buddy told them all kinds of hotties come in because there is a college down the street. He also added if we didn't get a good show he would pay us. We are all about money especially when we are getting it. That was the case though because this car shop was hot. The college girls rolled in. We got to see some huge tits and nice size mouthfuls. One girl sucked her man off in the back of the tow yard for some quick cash and a free oil change. Adrian even got a tittie play time. Towards the end of the day we scored big with Kirsten Lee. Her car was fucked, so we got her to fuck. She made out like a bandit though. Tony slid her car in front of all the other work because she let him slide his big dick into her perfect pussy. They fucked right in the front office and made sure her fluids were topped off.
Dildo Drone
Featuring Nicole Bexley and Adrian Maya
In this episode, we decided to find out if there was some brave and adventurous girl who would allow us to test a dildo-drone prototype. It took a good chunk of change and some convincing but Nicole Bexley finally agreed to do it. The flying dildo honed in on her hot and tight pussy and steadily slid right into her slow enough to keep her comfortable and eventually got her to come all over the shaft. We offered her double the amount of money if she was willing to give Tony a chance to also get his rocks off utilizing her tight, fit body and amazing ass.
Hot Dog Stand
Featuring Alice March and Adrian Maya
Moneytalks decided to entice people to pull off a stunt by giving away free hot dogs but with a catch of course. If a dude was willing to put his wiener in place of a real hot dog, put toppings on it and be filmed while doing it, we would offer him some cash and also let him have all you can eat hot dogs. As always we had many people decline but sooner or later some brave souls accepted the challenge. One girl who walked in with her boyfriend had such a nice pair of tits we offered her a quick Benjamin to flash us and we eventually got her to suck off her boyfriend with his dick in a hot dog bun smothered in ketchup and mustard. Then, innocent, little Alice walked through the doors inquiring about our special free hot dog offer. We explained it to her and popped Tony's cock into a hot dog bun. If she sucked him off she would get $300. She was worried about getting caught and going to jail for perverted behavior but we told her we would look out and make sure nothing would happen. Tony upped the ante and offered her a cool $1000 to fuck him and she couldn't resist making some fast money for simply enjoying her afternoon of wiener filled fun!
Oil Wrestling
Featuring Amy Parks and Adrian Maya
We have some hot oil wrestling action on Money Talks this time around. We put out an ad for extras in a shoot but really we wanted to get girls but naked and oiled up. first came this hot blonde with her friend who we convinced to get naked and wrestle with Adrian. Then we thought it would be good to see her wrestle with her male friend naked as well. She was not feeling this at first but was soon convinced by cash. Once she had him pinned down, Adrian jumped right on top of him and started blowing him. We tried to get the hot blonde to get on and do the same, once again it took some cash but we got it done. After she blew him, she stuck around for the rest of the day helping us get some more girls. We finally got this one really cute Asian girl, who was very shy at first but of course the cash helped ease her coyness. It was not long after that, that she was all over Peters dick getting oiled up and fucked hard. You do not want to miss this one.
Table Dance
Featuring Raven Redmond and Kylie Quinn
We bought a bar which needed a few repairs but we had it up to code in no time at all. The first customer to walk in was a down to earth hottie. We offered her some cash for a titty flash but she declined. It was only when we upped the stakes that she accepted and showed us her magnificent ass along with her perky tits. The following customers to walk in were two beautiful girls. One was a sexy 18yr old and the other girl was a stripper who works in the club next to the bar. After negotiating, we got to see the 18yr old's tits, ass and tight bald beaver. We offered the other girl some serious bills and soon enough we had her on her knees slurping on the johnson. Sean fucked her on the barstool and then jizzed on her pretty face before sending her on her way.
Tattoo Shop
Featuring Scarlett Sage and Adrian Maya
We had a real good time taking over a tattoo shop and getting people to do some wild stuff for cold hard cash. We convinced one guy to get a money talks tattoo on his back while we got his cute girlfriend to pop her juicy tits out while he got tatted. Then another couple came in looking to get a piercing for her so we thought , why not get her a clit piercing. She ultimately got to nervous to go through with it but we got to see her take her pants off and show us her pretty pussy. Finally these two cute blondes came in looking to get tats but we had other plans for them. We started offering up cash and one got topless then we got both of them to do a vagina wedgy with Adrian too, real fucking hot!! Tony had a serious hard so Adrian asked her if she'd suck cock for money but she was not into that. So Adrian dropped to her knees and started blowing him to show her how easy it would be. Sure enough , it was not long before she was blowing him and fucking him soon after right in the Tattoo parlor store front, haha. Dont miss this one, its a classic!!
Hustle Hunnie
Featuring Skyla Novea and Katalina Mills
The crew took over a bikini shop and kept a lookout for some hotties willing to do anything for cash. There is always hot young ladies in SoBe that love to get loose and have a good time. We tracked down one to get things started, and the others just walked in the store. We can't say enough about the ladies down here, and what they love to do for a wad of cash. Tits and ass is what they give us to play with as we make the hundo's rain. Towards the end of the day Skyla Nova came in looking for a new bikini that would get her man's attention. We picked one out, and she agreed to model it for us. When she came out of the dressing room we knew she was the one we wanted to blow our wad on, literally speaking. Her body was banging. She had it going on and it turned out she was horny. Honestly that wasn't a surprise because we knew that these beach babes are always hot and horny. We gave her the rest of our cash, and she took the dick. She made our week from her sexy freckled face to her feet.

Importance Azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome can present clinically and histopathologically like Sweet syndrome. Shared clinical features include fever, constitutional symptoms, prompt response to systemic corticosteroid therapy, neutrophilia, and abrupt onset of erythematous cutaneous lesions. Histologically, both azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome and Sweet syndrome are rich in neutrophils.
Observations An 81-year-old woman with Crohn disease presented with fever and an acute eruption of plaques on her extremities within 2 weeks of starting treatment with azathioprine. Laboratory evaluation was notable for leukocytosis and neutrophilia. Skin biopsy of an erythematous plaque on the thigh demonstrated a suppurative folliculitis. Azathioprine treatment was discontinued resulting in resolution of the clinical lesions within 5 days. Our case was compared with 18 cases with similar clinical features.
Conclusions and Relevance We report a case of azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome and review the literature on azathioprine-induced eruptions with features of Sweet syndrome. Our patient's distribution of lesions on the extremities and the finding of suppurative folliculitis on histopathology were not classical for Sweet syndrome. Azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome seems to be a neutrophil-driven dermatosis; therefore, many overlapping features with Sweet syndrome are not surprising. Due to the potential for anaphylaxis with azathioprine rechallenge, a better term for a Sweetlike presentation in the setting of azathioprine administration is azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome.
Azathioprine treats a variety of autoimmune conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, lupus erythematosus, and pemphigus vulgaris,1- 3 through inhibition of DNA and RNA synthesis.4 Azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome is a rare adverse event occurring within weeks of azathioprine initiation and is characterized by the acute onset of fever, arthralgias, abdominal pain, nausea, and associated cutaneous eruptions.5 A diagnosis of azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome may be delayed as the constellation of findings can mimic infection or a flare of the underlying autoimmune condition, such as inflammatory bowel disease, for which the immunosuppressant was initiated. Although the hypersensitivity syndrome is typically reversible on azathioprine cessation, subsequent azathioprine avoidance is crucial as rechallenge can lead to anaphylaxis.6- 10
In a recent literature review, 67 cases of azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome have been reported.5 Sweet syndrome is one of several recognized clinical patterns of azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome; other patterns include erythema nodosum, small-vessel vasculitis, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, and nonspecific dermatitis.5 Classical Sweet syndrome, originally described by Robert Sweet, MD, as "acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis" in 1964, is characterized by fever, constitutional symptoms, peripheral blood neutrophilia, and abrupt onset of tender, erythematous papules, plaques, or nodules11 Sweet syndrome has several well-known associations, including hematologic malignant neoplasms, solid tumors, infection, inflammatory bowel disease, pregnancy, and medications.12 Systemic corticosteroids are the gold standard of treatment and rapid clinical response is typical.5
We describe a patient treated with azathioprine for Crohn disease, who developed azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome within 2 weeks of treatment initiation. Although the patient had many clinical features of Sweet syndrome—fever, peripheral neutrophilia, and abrupt onset of skin lesions—these features are not specific to Sweet syndrome and overlap with those seen in azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome. A comprehensive literature review was performed to further evaluate cases of Sweet syndrome attributed to azathioprine administration and cases of azathioprine hypersensitivity with features of Sweet syndrome. Characteristics examined included the timing of symptom onset, azathioprine dose, timing of symptom resolution, clinical manifestations, histopathologic features, and proposed mechanism(s).
An 81-year-old woman with a history of Crohn disease and cecal cancer, status post hemicolectomy, was admitted to our hospital with 3 days of altered mental status, fever (temperature to 39.7°C), myalgias, and an acute, nontender eruption located primarily on the upper and lower extremities. Two weeks prior to her hospitalization, oral azathioprine therapy (75 mg/d) was added to a long-term corticosteroid regimen (budesonide, 9 mg/d) for management of Crohn disease. The patient had no known previous azathioprine exposure. She had been in her usual state of health until 1 week before admission, when she developed nausea, vomiting, diffuse myalgias, and arthralgias.
Physical examination results were notable for marked erythema along the inferior eyelids (Figure 1A) and multiple pink 1- to 4-mm macules on the bilateral palms (Figures 1B). There were 20 to 30 violaceous to pink, indurated 3-mm to 1-cm papules and plaques on the bilateral upper and lower extremities, particularly on the bilateral knees and lateral thighs (Figure 1C and D). The face, chest, abdomen, and back were spared. The patient had leukocytosis (white blood cells, 13 100 /μL) and neutrophilia (90%-94%), without eosinophilia. Otherwise, the complete blood cell count, creatinine level, and transaminase level were unremarkable. Thiopurine methyltransferase levels were not obtained. The results of a comprehensive systemic infectious disease workup were negative. Cerebrospinal fluid showed no microorganisms. A biopsy specimen from a representative pink plaque on the thigh demonstrated a patchy suppurative and granulomatous dermal infiltrate (Figure 2). The inflammatory infiltrate was composed primarily of neutrophils and some histiocytes. In some areas, the infiltrate was perifollicular, and collections of neutrophils were noted within the follicular epithelium. Rare multinucleated giant cells were present. No papillary dermal edema was observed. No eosinophils were identified. Periodic acid–Schiff and Gram stains of the tissue were negative for organisms.

A, A punch biopsy of the right lateral thigh shows a patchy suppurative and granulomatous infiltrate involving the dermis and superficial subcutis (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×2). B, Collections of neutrophils were seen within the follicular epithelium (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×10). The inflammatory infiltrate was patchy within the dermis. C, Superficial subcutis was composed predominantly of neutrophils admixed with histiocytes. A few multinucleated giant cells were noted at the junction of the reticular dermis and subcutis (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×20).
A diagnosis of azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome was favored over azathioprine-induced Sweet syndrome for several reasons. (1) The clinical presentation of lesions on the extremities would be unusual for Sweet syndrome in which tender, edematous plaques typically occur on the head, neck, and trunk. (2) The biopsy specimen lacked the hallmark dense dermal neutrophilic infiltrate and massive papillary dermal edema of Sweet syndrome. (3) The systemic symptoms could all be attributed to a hypersensitivity reaction–with discontinuation of azathioprine alone (no other therapeutic intervention), the patient's fever subsided within 2 days, and all skin lesions resolved completely within 5 days.
We completed a literature review of cases of azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome with features of Sweet syndrome by entering the following search terms into PubMed: azathioprine AND Sweet's Syndrome, azathioprine-induced sweet's syndrome, azathioprine AND neutrophilic dermatosis, azathioprine AND acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, and azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome. Our search revealed 18 cases that were reviewed and compiled (Table 1 and Table 2).5,13- 28 Most affected patients (76.5%, n = 13) had inflammatory bowel disease, similar to our patient. Treatment with azathioprine was started for 12 of 19 patients within 2 weeks of presentation (Table 1). The mean time to symptom resolution was 5 days. In cases of rechallenge with azathioprine, the mean time to onset of reaction was 20 hours. In up to 50% of cases, as seen in our patient, azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome has systemic symptoms that overlap with Sweet syndrome5; nevertheless, cases reported in the literature as "azathioprine-induced Sweet's syndrome" may be better labeled as azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome —a sentiment previously expressed by others.5
Established criteria for drug-induced Sweet syndrome include the following: (1) abrupt onset of painful erythematous plaques, (2) histopathologic evidence of dense neutrophilic infiltrate without evidence of leukocytoclastic vasculitis, (3) temperature higher than 39.7°C (fever), (4) temporal relationship between drug ingestion and clinical presentation, and (5) temporal resolution of lesions after drug withdrawal.29 Although our patient's presentation met at least 3 of these 5 criteria for drug-induced Sweet syndrome (criteria 3 through 5), both clinical (criterion 1) and histological features (criterion 2) were nonclassical for Sweet syndrome. In short, lesions of Sweet syndrome are typically plaques on the upper body with microscopic dense dermal infiltrates and massive papillary edema, while our patient's lesions were pink papules and plaques on the extremities with corresponding suppurative folliculitis.
Table 2 summarizes the aggregate clinical and histopathologic characteristics of all reported cases of azathioprine-induced Sweet syndrome as well as other cases reported as azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome with features of Sweet syndrome (n = 18). The most common dermatologic findings included erythematous papules, plaques, and pustules, followed by nodules and vesicles. The lesions were painful in most cases. Although the lower extremities are rarely involved in classical Sweet syndrome, which favors the head and neck,12 they were frequently involved in the reviewed cases (Table 2).12 Neutrophilia was the most common finding, and there was no report of eosinophilia. IgE levels were not reported in any of the cases.
A dermal neutrophilic infiltrate and mild to significant dermal edema were the most common histopathologic findings (Table 2). No evidence of leukocytoclastic vasculitis was found in any of the cases. The patchy and suppurative granulomatous infiltrate observed in our case was not noted in the cases reviewed. Two cases reported neutrophilic infiltration into hair follicles similar to the histopathology of our case.20,23 In a review of 67 cases of azathioprine hypersensitivity,5 among patients with cutaneous findings, 76% (25 of 33) had biopsy or clinical features consistent with neutrophilic dermatoses. Among cases in which cutaneous histopathology showed a neutrophilic dermatosis, most patients (16 of 25) had inflammatory bowel disease.5 Given the association between inflammatory bowel disease and several neutrophilic dermatoses, it is possible that patients with inflammatory bowel disease have a neutrophilic diathesis, and neutrophils may be overrepresented in an inflammatory response, such as a drug eruption. Similar to patients in our review, many patients with inflammatory bowel disease are treated long-term with corticosteroids at the time of azathioprine initiation. Given that corticosteroids increase the rate of neutrophil margination, clinical expression of a neutrophilic diathesis may be more likely in these patients.30 Of the 4 cases reviewed in which patients were not receiving concurrent corticosteroids, a neutrophilic infiltrate was also described on histopathology.
Our case and review of the literature suggest that azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome is primarily neutrophil mediated. The precise mechanism of azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome remains unknown but some potential mechanisms include a type III or IV hypersensitivity reaction and neutrophil activation. The timing of the eruption, on the order of weeks, supports a delayed hypersensitivity reaction. The mechanism of anaphylactic shock, in a subset of patients, could be secondary to type I IgE-mediated anaphylaxis or non-IgE-mediated anaphylactoid reaction. Other cutaneous eruptions associated with azathioprine, such as acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, erythema nodosum, and leukocytoclastic vasculitis, are possible hypersensitivity reactions that are characterized by neutrophilic infiltrates.31,32 Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis is a neutrophilic cell-mediated hypersensitivity reaction (type IVd), characterized by presentation of soluble antigens and activation of neutrophils through granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8 (formerly interleukin 8) production.33 A similar mechanism of hypersensitivity and neutrophil activation through cytokine dysregulation may underlie the cases reviewed.
Given the similarities between cases reported as azathioprine-induced Sweet syndrome and azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome with Sweet syndrome features, it is likely that these entities represent the same process in which susceptible patients develop fever, leukocytosis with neutrophilia, and an acute cutaneous eruption often within 2 weeks of azathioprine initiation. Although in some cases, the neutrophilic infiltrate may histopathologically mimic Sweet syndrome, more commonly, as with our patient, a nonspecific neutrophilic process is observed. Also, unlike classical Sweet syndrome, this eruption has a proclivity for lower extremity involvement. Use of the diagnosis azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome—inclusive of azathioprine-induced Sweet syndrome—is effective in conveying that the lesions are induced by azathioprine, have a reproducible clinical presentation with variable histopathology (not always Sweetlike), and resolve with discontinuation of the medication.
In several of the cases we reviewed, patients were rechallenged with azathioprine resulting in reproduction of symptoms in every case. This high rate of rechallenge suggests that the role of azathioprine in this reaction pattern may not be clearly understood or recognized by many physicians. Azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome can lead to life-threatening shock, as reported in multiple cases.6- 10,34,35 The most common presentation is shock and circulatory collapse, which is even more severe on rechallenge with azathioprine.35 Based on a literature review of azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome, hypotensive shock occurred in 4 of 49 cases of azathioprine hypersensitivity syndrome.7 Azathioprine-induced shock can result in multiorgan failure, which is the most likely cause of death from this hypersensitivity syndrome.6 Clear terminology is necessary for proper communication with nondermatologists and essential for accurate documentation of the allergic reaction, as azathioprine rechallenge may lead to a more severe hypersensitivity reaction and potentially death.7,10

Portland Public Golf: Environment by Design
Quality and challenge rare in municipal golf is the standard at the five courses of Portland (Ore.) Public Golf, not least because of the contributions of some of the golf industry's most-admired architects.
Heron Lakes GC
The legacy of classic golf design is preserved and enhanced in the Rose City by a commitment to earth-friendly maintenance that - not by accident - also helps keep Portland's munis affordable to the playing public.
"In order to survive, we've had to figure out how to be as efficient as possible with the resources we have," said John Zoller, general manager of Portland Public Golf for 27 years. "Our team has been very innovative at getting things done.
"We provide habitat, we provide enjoyable open spaces . . . it's not just golf," added Zoller, the son of John Zoller, the long-time executive director of the Northern California Golf Association, general manager of Monterey Peninsula Country Club and director of golf operations for the Pebble Beach Company.
Portland Public Golf has been operated continuously by the city since 1917, when a group of enterprising and far-sighted citizens worked with city hall to create Eastmoreland Golf Club in southeast Portland, the first course in a system that now includes two 18s at Heron Lakes Golf Club (Greenback and Great Blue) in north Portland, Rose City in the northeast, and RedTail in suburban Beaverton.
A Design Legacy
In Portland city golf, the design discussion begins with Robert Trent Jones Jr., who is one of the first names in course architecture in today's golf industry. But he was not the only esteemed designer to work in Portland.
Eastmoreland was one of the earliest courses designed by H. Chandler Egan, a former two-time U.S. Amateur champion. While still a competitive player (a four-time Pacific Northwest Amateur champion), Egan built on his design reputation with courses at Eugene Country Club, Indian Canyon in Spokane, Tualatin (Ore.) Country Club, and West Seattle Golf Club, among many others, including the heralded remodel of Pebble Beach Golf Links.
At 6,500 yards from the back tees, Eastmoreland is not long by modern-day championship standards, but that did not stop the USGA from bringing the 1990 U.S. Amateur Public Links to the course.
Rose City Golf Course
"To be able to host an event like that, with a golf course that short, really requires the course have a lot of challenge to it that has nothing to do with length," Zoller said.
Eastmoreland features numerous doglegs and narrow necked areas approaching the greens. "Chandler Egan was such a great strategist," Zoller added. "If you don't hit the shot required, you'll have to do a lot of recovery. It's a very challenging golf course."
Rose City, the second Portland muni, opened in 1923. Over the years, it has owned a reputation as a proving ground for good players looking for a game against the best in town. In 2010, Golfweek magazine cited Rose City for having some of the best money games in the country.
"I like to look at it as a players' golf course," said Hank Childs, the head professional at Rose City for 17 years. "Its history lends itself to that. It's always been that way."
Trent Jones Jr.'s design portfolio, in the Pacific Northwest alone, includes Chambers Bay near Tacoma, site of the 2010 U.S. Amateur and 2015 U.S. Open; the remodel of Eugene Country Club; the Woodlands Course at Sunriver Resort in central Oregon; and Elkhorn at Sun Valley, Idaho.
In 1971, Jones Jr. was commissioned to craft a course from a flat and wet property in West Delta Park, near a railroad corridor just south of the Columbia River. He created water and land features to improve drainage, but otherwise let the Greenback Course at Heron Lakes emerge from its natural parkland setting.
At the other Heron Lakes course, Great Blue, Jones in the late 1980s and early 1990s designed a course in the style of the British Isles, with pot bunkers, small greens and a rolling topography - a much more "built" environment than Greenback.
"There's a little more ground game to consider," Jones said of the latter layout. Great Blue is perennially ranked among the best courses - public or private - in the region. It hosted the Northwest Open for a decade and held the 2000 U.S. Amateur Public Links.
Jones said he comes to a site with no preconceived notions. "If the land itself is generous in its natural features, sure, we take the land," Jones said. "If we have to re-craft the land, we try to make it indigenous to its own character and nature."
Red Tail Golf Course
The Trent Jones Jr. influence is also felt at RedTail Golf Course. Zoller was employed in the construction wing of Jones' design firm before he came to work in Portland, and he has built a solid design portfolio in his own right.
When the city decided to overhaul the course formerly known as Progress Downs, it turned to Zoller. "We used the logical lay of the land to route the holes," he said. "Areas where we couldn't achieve any drainage we turned into water hazards. There's quite a system of lakes and waterways now."
Ornithological note: Those are red-tailed hawks you're seeing when you walk the fairways. The territorial species of raptor is rarely found in as much abundance as at the old Progress Downs. When it came to renaming the remodeled course, RedTail was the natural choice.
Land Stewardship
Nurturing birds and other urban wildlife on Portland's city golf courses fits with the system's overriding maintenance philosophy: Doing the environmentally responsible thing is not just doing the right thing. It's doing the best thing - for the environment, the golf courses and the bottom line.
Portland has instituted and built on Green Way, a philosophy of maintenance with roots in Australia, where golf courses - by tradition and in complement to their topography and climate - are much less "managed."
Jesse Goodling, superintendent at PPG's Heron Lakes courses, has adapted to Northwest realities with what he calls the "acid theory," whereby a little nitrogen and lots of iron - and no phosphorus or potassium - is applied to putting greens.
The formulation favors the growth of bentgrass over native poa annua, Goodling said. The benefits are several: bentgrass needs less pesticides, has deeper roots (seven to eight inches compared to one inch for poa), needs less water, and it's more resistant to disease.

There are golf benefits, too: bentgrass offers smoother, firmer putting surfaces, Goodling said.
On Heron Lakes' Greenback course, where the "acid theory" was tested first, bentgrass now makes up 80 to 90 percent of the turf on the greens. At Great Blue, bentgrass is now at 50 to 60 percent.
In this golf economy, that adds up in the city's favor when Goodling waters and mows less often and uses half the fertilizer and one-third the pesticides. "Our greens are better than ever," he said. "They're smoother, firmer, faster than they've ever been. And we're spending less money on them."
The beneficiaries of better environmental management are the public golfers of the Northwest, who enjoy Portland's legacy of classic golf architecture on courses that are both challenging and affordable.
"I like the fact that it's public in nature," Jones Jr. said of his work in Portland. "The best courses should not be only for those who can afford to belong to them and play them."

The New Orleans Saints survived the 2012 season—well, kind of—finishing with a record of 7-9. Some were surprised, some were disappointed, and for others, they exceeded expectations. Now the team has their leader, Sean Payton, back. They have a new and aggressive defensive coordinator in Rob Ryan to fix their historically awful defense.
But the Saints organization are still in search for answers. They need to add some key players to their personnel.
Exactly two weeks away is the 2013 NFL draft, and this is where Sean Payton will look to to add players and make some improvements.
Now, drafting is not exactly a perfected science—in any sport. Team scouts can study player films and go over their stats again and again, but that doesn't mean they won't whiff on certain choices. It's hit or miss with these drafts; whether it be in the early rounds or late rounds, it doesn't matter. Any team can find a dud or a stud in any round of a draft—no way of avoiding it.
Teams just have to do their homework and hope they don't get a dud. The Saints have had good luck, so far, when it comes to drafting. That, and they have a talented scouting team. With that being said, let's take a look at some late-round prospects who would be a perfect match for the Saints.

For the past several weeks, Oncenter workers have scurried about the War Memorial checking chores off a long list of improvements.
The Syracuse Crunch's locker room has been spruced up. The team's offices got new carpeting. The basement floor is in the process of being replaced. Walls everywhere are splashed with new paint.
The creaking building is on the verge of actually looking vibrant. To the young players in the Anaheim Ducks system, it resembles something even better: a home.
And no matter how the 2010-11 AHL season unfolds, that's already a 'W' in their book.
"It's a thousand times better than last year," Crunch defenseman John de Gray said after the first practice of the season Wednesday. "It's keeping everything positive, too. You come to a team where it's your team. Your coaching staff."
Twenty-four players took the ice Wednesday, creating a radically different hockey kaleidoscope than the one of the past decade. The players wore new black pants with burnt orange piping, the colors of the Crunch and Ducks. New head coach Mark Holick and assistant Mike Stapleton sported Anaheim warmup suits. The blue and red of Columbus, the Crunch's parent club the past 10 seasons, were as out of style as visor-less helmets.
The Ducks have moved in as Columbus' replacement after an unsettled 2009-10. Anaheim had no AHL farm team last year, and split its prospects among San Antonio, Manitoba, Abbotsford, Rochester and Toronto. Many players were forced to play down a level below their abilities, with ECHL affiliate Bakersfield.
Crunch defenseman Eric Regan was a prime example of that. Two seasons ago, he played 59 contests for Anaheim's AHL affiliate in Iowa. Last year he played the same number of games in Bakersfield, producing 16 goals and 34 assists. He also got in five games with San Antonio.
"I feel like I've done everything I could have done (in the ECHL). The hardest part was just getting an opportunity to move up," Regan said. "When you don't have your own team, it's hard to get (AHL) experience."
Even when that opportunity came, the quality of that experience varied. Parent teams want to develop their own players. That means giving more vital developmental time — power plays, end-of-game minutes — to their prospects.
"A lot of them (Ducks players) didn't get to play in key situations," said Syracuse assistant GM Bob Ferguson.
"They have to take care of their guys," said Syracuse blueliner Stu Bickel, who skated in Bakersfield and San Antonio last year. "You have to blend in with another organization. That can be tough right away."
de Gray played 29 games in Bakersfield and 41 with the Amerks last season. While he said the Rochester players were friendly in general, he knew that his presence there took minutes away from one of their peers in the system.
"You are in a way (an outsider). I essentially took someone else's spot in the organization," he said. "It is awkward."
The Ducks see another advantage by landing in Syracuse. Some of their temporary farm teams last year — Manitoba, Abbotsford and San Antonio — were geographically isolated. Long travel has the corollary of less practice time. That won't be a problem in Central New York.
"One of the important things that goes under the radar when it comes to development is practice time," Ferguson said. "We're not going to lose a lot of time due to travel."
With new Anaheim logos painted on War Memorial walls and a fan base eager to embrace an affiliation change, having a comfortable nest for the Ducks won't be a problem this year. The potential glory and the growing pains of a long AHL season will be all theirs.
"What's good is we've got our team again," Ferguson said. "Everybody is going to feel good when we win. If we happen to lose a game, we have to learn from those mistakes. It's good to have everyone under one umbrella."
