Something needs to be cleared up. Two weeks ago, WW freelancer Jason Simms wrote an article about a clash pitting a few online commentators at Portland Independent Media Center (portland.indymedia.org) against the members and fans of a band called Wolfgang Williams and the Punk Rock Faggots (see "Punk Rock Faggots Come Under Fire," WW, March 8, 2006). But what started as a story about an honest debate has turned, at the hands of a few Indymedia contributors, into a rather dishonest debate.
Here are the basics: I assigned Simms to write an article about an incident described in an Indymedia article written by a contributor named "Topher." Topher claimed that he had been ridiculed and called a "faggot" by crowd members while protesting the Punk Rock Faggots at a music festival held at Reed College on Feb. 25.
In an attempt to get Topher to comment for the story, Simms emailed an early, unedited draft to Topher (ed. note: bad idea). Simms says his aim was to show the activist his reporting was not biased. Topher chose not to speak with WW, and posted Simms' unfinished story on the Indymedia website on March 5. It was followed by the shorter version that appeared in WW three days later.
Twelve comments followed the posted stories, most of which carried sentiments similar to those posted by a friend of Topher's named "Salaud," accusing Simms of siding with the Punk Rock Faggots, and deriding WW, asking how "twisted and lost corporate media can be."
But what about Salaud's own twisted sense of truth? There are flecks of distortion throughout the comments on the Indymedia site, but the most egregious instances come from Salaud. In order to illustrate WW's supposed bias against Topher, he identifies this as being from the "final version" of the WW: "A [sic] innocent local band of high school punks was targeted only by activists who only work online at an event put on by the altruistic promoters www.PDXPress.net (click here!), but why?"
Sounds like we love the fest's organizers, doesn't it? Well, WW never ran that sentence. Salaud also identified another quoted sentence as being "how it went in draft": "Our friends at PDXPress.net (click here!) tried to save a charity on the verge of ruin, some activist named 'Topher' gave a speech, he was heckled, thank you for your views activist, now let's move on to the music."
This incredibly biased, poorly written sentence would never have made it past my desk and into the paper. But I didn't have a chance to fix this sentence, because I never saw it and Simms never wrote it. Salaud was just quoting his own slanted "summary."
What really ran in WW was this: "On Saturday, Feb. 25, PDXPress.net sponsored a benefit concert at Reed College that raised $900 for Oregon Books to Prisoners. A product of the punk website's altruism, the event hardly seems objectionable. So how did it become a flashpoint for online social activists? Seven words: Wolfgang Williams and the Punk Rock Faggots." The story goes on to focus on the debate that took place at the event and continued online.
Salaud probably believes he was just paraphrasing (I have to assume because he refuses to go on the record). But that doesn't change the fact that these "quotes," filled with falsehoods wrapped in cynicism, appear to be attributed to WW. At a time when websites have as much reach as traditional media, this distortion is dangerous.
It's time for Salaud, and some other Indymedia posters, to accept the accountability that comes with being a legitimate news outlet. And it's time for the site's administrators not just to expect contributors to write in a "thorough, honest, accurate manner," as stated on the website, but to demand it, and censure commentators like Salaud.

Would You Have A Baby To Give Your Child A Sibling?arianne
I remember back when we had one child and thought he could really use a sibling. He seemed bored with every toy and never played. He seemed to isolate himself and not understand what to do around other kids.
We weren't ready for another baby, but knew we'd have more children eventually – so we decided to go ahead and try for baby #2 thinking it would be a while before I got pregnant (baby #1 had taken a year to conceive).
I was pregnant the first month.
I remember feeling really overwhelmed and wondering WHAT were we thinking? Other moms have confessed to having babies against their own desire in order to "gift" their child with a sibling. What do you think?
What was "wrong" with my child wasn't that he was lonely or bored or needed a friend, it was that he was showing the beginning signs of autism. He was diagnosed one week after I gave birth to baby #2.
I'm not one to say I would do things differently if I had it to do all over again – because those two boys are the best friends in the world now. But advice to other moms? Listen to your gut. If it feels too soon, IT IS TOO SOON. I was really struggling with my special needs child by the time the next baby came, and instead of being able to focus on just one child's needs, I added the needs of a newborn into the mix. It is known as the "dark ages" in my life and my marriage. It was extremely trying, and I sometimes wonder how our marriage even survived it.
Have you ever become pregnant to give your child a sibling, and wondered later if the timing was right? Are you considering now doing this but your gut is saying no?

Published August 21, 2013
Obama-mania hit the UB campus in an unmistakably dramatic form Tuesday as more than 1,500 excited but patient and well-mannered ticket-seekers lined up for the chance of being part of what they called a "slice of history" — witnessing the first time a sitting U.S. president would speak on campus in more than 150 years.
Two colorful, winding lines of determined but collegial people gave the UB campus an indisputable energy and buzz.
The larger line began at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday outside the doors of Alumni Arena as Denise Camarre and her 18-year-old son took the pole position among members of the public hoping to secure a ticket to President Barack Obama's Thursday morning speech, which is expected to underscore the need for quality, affordable higher education.
A few hundred yards away, another line of hundreds assembled Tuesday afternoon inside UB's Student Union, stretching up the hill on Putnam Way, this time consisting of students, staff and UB faculty. All were winners of an online ticket lottery held the previous day reserved for UB personnel.
Camarre and her son were the first to flock to campus for the chance to be a part of what Camarre called "a historic event."
"I'm a little tired," Camarre said, as she dozed in her lawn chair at the entrance of Alumni Arena, two hours before officials began handing out tickets and 14 hours after arriving on campus. "But I am very grateful I will be able to sit in the same room as Barack Obama. I may never see another sitting president again."
Camarre and her son, Jordan, a senior and class president at Newfane High School, were at the forefront of what UB officials estimated were well over 1,000 hopefuls who lined up in the 85-degree heat for the first-come, first-served line reserved for the community. By noon, the line started to loop down Coventry Road to Augspurger Road around the back of Alumni Arena as far as the parking lot adjacent to the tennis courts as hundreds of others arrived for a chance to see Obama address Alumni Arena.
The diverse crowd waited in folding chairs, under sun umbrellas, eating pizza and subs, talking on cellphones and reading books, and chatting with others who waited for hours with them and who shared the same passion for the chance at snagging what was then an undisclosed number of tickets.
"They are excited to be here, totally appreciative of the opportunity and incredibly patient," said Dennis Black, UB's vice president for University Life and Services, who was among officials handing out bottles of water and hundreds of granola bars to visitors beginning late in the morning.
"We talk about UB serving the community all the time, and today we are seeing that in the ticket line," said Black, who was assisted by Barbara J. Ricotta, associate vice president and dean of students, and Jeff Brady, director of campus dining. "UB is serving as the site of a major community event. We are excited to serve in that role and people are excited to be on campus."
Some ticket-seekers used their time creatively. Jackie Stanley and Miranda Rosati, both recent UB graduates, sat a few spaces back from Camarre near the entrance of the arena guarding a box of hundreds of envelopes they had labeled and stuffed with fliers from their company, HeinOnline. The two had been outside arena doors since 7:45 a.m. and had passed some of the time fulfilling office duties and munching on snacks they received from a family in front of them.
"It's a very friendly crowd," said Stanley. "There's no negativity. It's a great vibe.
"We really wanted to see the president speak," she said. "It's once in a lifetime. And our boss let us go."
The hundreds of UB ticket lottery winners were just as enthusiastic, talking, texting and hydrating as they waited inside and outside the Student Union.
"I was at Obama's first inauguration in 2009, and it was such a historic moment in history," says Letitia Thomas-Rogers, assistant vice provost and director of UB's Daniel Acker Scholars and STEM Programs. "It was a historic moment for all Americans, but for African-Americans, it was special. To be here, and be that close to him again is a thrill."
"Seeing Obama is important to me because he is a very inspirational speaker," said Jarrett Coppin, doctoral candidate in the UB chemistry department. "I want to know what his thoughts are on the future of education in this country, and I'm interested in what he plans to do to keep us at the forefront of STEM fields — science, technology, engineering, mathematics. Those are the things I feel are important, what will move this country forward and keep us on par with other nations."
"I'm excited because it is history in the making," said Brittany Sager, a student in UB's Graduate School of Education concentrating on teaching English. "I've never seen a sitting president, and the opportunity that UB has to have him come here is a unique opportunity. I'm also excited to hear what he has to say about education in general, since it's what I'm going into and it's a rough market out there right now.
"So I'm interested in hearing what he has to say about the education market and what we're doing to help our students achieve."
For many if not most of the people outside Alumni Arena, their patience and intensity were rewarded. At precisely 5 p.m., the doors opened, and those at the front of the line went inside. Within moments, they came out with what they had waited for.
"It feels awesome," said Nancy Hourigan, who emerged from Alumni Arena lobby holding her ticket high and letting out a triumphant yell. "It's a momentous event in our lives."

Dr Herve Migaud
E: hm7 at stir dot ac dot uk
Reader and Director of Research
I am leading the reproduction team currently composed of two postdoctoral fellows (Drs Andrew Davie and John Taylor), six PhD students and MSc/BSc students.
My main research interests are in environmental, endocrinological and molecular control of puberty in fish, the photoperiodism network (particularly melatonin and the circadian axis), chronobiology systems (particularly clock systems) and genetic manipulation for sterility in a range of temperate and tropical teleost species.
My research performed over the last 5 years has led to 34 papers published in International peer-reviewed journals (4 more currently in review), 15 articles published in trade journals and over 45 communications at International conferences.
I teach on the joint MSc Aquaculture/Aquatic Pathobiology/Aquatic Veterinary Studies core course AQUPF4 on "Broodstock Management and Genetics" (lectures on Reproductive strategies, endocrinology, gametogenesis, hormonal therapies, environmental reproductive management and light perception, and practicals), AQUPF6 "Study tour - Aquaculture in practice" (module coordinator with lectures, visits and practicals) and the MSc Aquaculture advanced course (Genetics and Reproduction workshop), and supervise MSc projects (11 between 2005-2009).

Why haven't they posted any financial results since January? Have they closed the doors and not told anyone. With gas at this country's highest levels ever, it just seems that people will be using alternative ways to get education materials and VCampus has solutions available. Right or wrong?
I have called the company twice, in an effort to talk with someone in investor relations. It appears the company is still in business (once I left a message; the other time I actually spoke with a person, who said the company was definitely still in business and that he would leave a message for someone named "Duff" in Finance to call me), but no one has bothered to call me back. No way to treat a shareholder. Probably a total loss.
I think VCampus is no more. I have heard that the office in Virginia is empty and the Phoenix office is shut down. I wonder what happened to all their contracts? What happened with their big VA contract?

Diego Costa made his presence known for Chelsea with two goals in his first home match with the club as the squad defeated Real Sociedad 2-0.
On a rainy night, the home team was able to get onto the scoresheet early in the final preseason match of the summer. Shortly after kick-off, Chelsea showcased their great passing while working it up the pitch. Ramires was then able to link up with Costa for an early goal:
Diego Costa scores for Chelsea. http://t.co/DIh4Q4jLJ8— Football Vines (@Vine_Football) August 12, 2014
As Joe Krishnan of The Independent noted, Ramires deserves a lot of credit for the assist:
Goaaaal! Diego Costa slides home after 67 seconds following a lovely assist from Ramires. #CFC— Joe Krishnan (@joekrishnan) August 12, 2014
A few minutes later, the Blues doubled their lead on an aggressive play by Andre Schurrle. He curled it from just outside the box and hit the post, but Costa was right there for the easy finish. Bleacher Report UK captured the play:
Welcome to Stamford Bridge, Diego Costa. The new Chelsea man has hit twice already for Chelsea. His second: https://t.co/61vNYQJ6VO— Bleacher Report UK (@br_uk) August 12, 2014
With a 2-0 lead by the seventh minute, Chelsea were able to sit back and control possession while risking very little. Everyone seemed to be on the same page to attack, although they struggled to get legitimate chances in the final third.
Esteban Granero had a few solid opportunities early in the match, but he could not get anything into the net.
In the second half, young midfielders Oscar and Willian remained aggressive alongside Eden Hazard and Costa, but they could not get another goal. Meanwhile, Thibaut Courtois maintained a clean sheet on the other end in what was a great defensive effort all around.
Jose Mourinho's squad should be satisfied with what became a dominant performance that was even more impressive than the score would show. The club's Twitter account was certainly satisfied:
Full-time at the Bridge and it ends 2-0, Diego Costa with a brace. Our pre-season campaign ends with a comfortable victory. #CFCLive— Chelsea FC (@chelseafc) August 12, 2014
Conversely, Real Sociedad will have to do a better job of finding offense if they want to compete in La Liga and the Europa League this season.
Diego Costa, Chelsea: A
Costa was heavily responsible for knocking out Chelsea in last year's Champions League as a part of Atletico Madrid. For this, he recently apologized while saying he wants to earn the respect of the fans, via Simon Johnson of the London Evening Standard:
Now I can say I'm really sorry for the part I played in the game we won at Stamford Bridge. [...]
I hope my actions on the pitch and my feet will do the talking and then people can decide if I'm a good player or not, if I'm improving or not. All I can say is I love playing hard and fairly. I love playing at a high intensity and, hopefully, that can rub off on some of our players. I just want to become better and, hopefully, I can do that here.
Although he still has to be productive in the EPL season, fans have likely already forgiven him. He scored two goals in his first home match for the Blues and provided hope that he can finally be the striker the club has been missing.
Costa did not do anything overly impressive, but he used his great positioning to be in the right place at the right time and finished well in both chances.
Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea: A-
While fans spent the summer celebrating the addition of Costa, Cesc Fabregas is also expected to make a huge impact this year. The former Barcelona midfielder showed against Real Sociedad that he is in great control of the match and knows how to set up teammates for good looks.
As Chelsea Youth points out, this is exactly what the club is looking for in a midfielder:
Watching Fabregas off the ball. With a few exceptions, always within a short pass of the ball. Absolutely central to how Jose wants to play.— Chelsea Youth (@chelseayouth) August 12, 2014
If he can keep this up all year, the passing for Chelsea will be something to behold.
Esteban Granero, Real Sociedad: A-
Although Granero has had a hard time getting onto the pitch for Real Sociedad, he showed Tuesday that he can be useful on the attack. He was not able to crack the scoresheet, but he provided a lot of effort and a few good chances for the road team.
The 27-year-old player has displayed some talent in his career and should be able to provide some help over the course of the season.

Working mums object to government maternity plans
Working mothers and employers are unhappy with government plans to reduce maternity leave to 18 weeks, according to new research.
A Netmums survey of 1,500 mothers found that nearly 60% of mothers said it would be hard to ask for more time off if they needed more than 18 weeks leave. One quarter (24%) of these believe that their employer would make it clear that they wanted them back at that time.
The charity Working Families asked eleven employers their views on the 18-week maternity leave proposal, with nine of the eleven surveyed favouring the default 26 week-long leave over the shorter duration.
Employer concerns include higher absenteeism among women returning before they are ready, costs of rearranging leave cover if plans change, and the importance of retaining women's workplace talent.
Netmums founder Sally Russell, says: "Women are very strongly saying that 18 weeks of maternity leave is not enough. It is possible to have a system that works for mums and days but this isn't it.
"The findings show that an 18 week limit may well push women out of employment and the result will be the opposite of what the Government are trying to achieve."

Last of the winter share
Posted by alexandra on J May 2010 in Kawartha Ecological Growers, markets | 0 comments
As I mentioned a number of times here, I subscribed to the Kawartha Ecological Growers CSA about six weeks ago. This past week I picked my last share of the winter crop and I'm now getting ready for the long wait (about six weeks) for the beginning of the summer share.
This week I got: carrots, two kinds of potatoes, eggs from an amish farm, dandelion greens, green onions, wild leeks, garlic greens, broccoli sprouts, carrots & cabbage coleslaw, sausage, radishes, and some fun items – fiddleheads and popping corn on the cob!
A zoom on some of the items:

Twitter has rolled out a minor update of its mobile app, allowing you to view Twitter photos and videos from Vine right in your Twitter timeline. Whereas you previously needed to tap on links for images via Twitter or video for Vine, the updated Twitter iOS app now lets you view them in the feed. This makes tweets more visually appealing.
Although, the new feature is limited for Twitter photos and Vine videos at this time, let's not discount the fact that this may just be a preview of things to come. Specifically, this is one step towards making the Twitter timeline not only visually friendly for users, but for potential Twitter advertisers as well. Advertisers may now opt to use Vine videos or Twitter photos to push their visual ads. If that's the case, some Twitter users may not be too happy with this. The good news is that this feature can be easily turned off in the app's settings.
Along with this new feature, the updated Twitter iOS app also now lets you reply, retweet, favorite or follow someone straight from a Tweet in your home timeline. This feature was tested via a closed group for several weeks, and is now being rolled out to everyone.
The updated Twitter iOS app is available now as a free download from the iTunes App Store. Grab it now if you're still not succumbing to the temptation of using third-party Twitter apps which are more robust, vibrant and enticing to use.

Beware Broker Transfer Out Fees
|Email Print
My wife's Roth IRA currently sits at a TD Ameritrade account, where it's been sitting for the last three or four years. With the majority of it in cash, mostly because we lost track of the account, we want to invest it in our retirement investment of choice, an index fund. Our index fund of choice happens to be the Vanguard 500 Index Fund because most of our retirement funds are with Vanguard. Vanguard does not have the cheapest index fund, I believe that title now resides with Fidelity's Spartan 500 index. Paying the extra 0.08% seems reasonable considering we can manage it all in one place.
The only downside about this entire process is that TD Ameritrade has a $75 outbound full account transfer fee. 🙁 Fortunately Vanguard does not charge you to transfer in an IRA (to my knowledge, no one does).
In comparing some of the common fees, $75 seems to be on the high side. $50 seems fairly standard with some brokers going as low as $30.
Broker Transfer Fees
Here's a list of broker transfer fees, I use the brokers included on Smart Money's 2009 Best Brokers list:
- E*Trade: $60 ($25 for partial transfers)
- Fidelity: $50
- Charles Schwab: $50
- TradeKing: $50
- TD Ameritrade: $75 (free partial transfers)
- Muriel Siebert: $50 (retirement accounts only)
- Scottrade: $75
- Firstrade: $50
- OptionsXpress: $50
- Banc of America: $75
- Just2Trade: $75
- WellsTrade: $75
- Sharebuilder: $50
- WallStreet*E: $150
- Zecco Trading: $60
- SogoTrade: $75
Here's a vocabulary lesson, useful if you plan on transferring out your account. ACAT stands for Automated Customer Account Transfer and refers to an electronic request to transfer an entire brokerage account between FINRA and NYSE firms. It's probably the easiest way to transfer your account from one broker to another and takes 7-12 business days.
The next time you are comparing brokers, one point of comparison you might want to consider is the transfer fees.{ 28 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

I want to buy a new portable but I was wondering what brand/model to
choose if I want to run Linux on it. From reading in this newsgroup it
seems that installing Linux on a portable is not so easy to do...(to
say the least). I'm not a Linux expert and I don't want to become one
so it should be a smooth procedure...
So if anyone can give me a recommendation for a fast notebook with a
decent screen and big hard disk(60GB+) on which you can easily install
Linux I would be very thankfull.

Pac-12 Roundup: Week NinePosted by Connor Pelton (@ConnorPelton28) and Andrew Murawa (@AMurawa) on January 14th, 2014
Out of the country? Living under a rock? Here's what you missed in the ninth week of Pac-12 basketball.
Power Rankings (as voted upon by Connor Pelton, Andrew Murawa and Adam Butler):
Arizona is once again the unanimous top choice this week, but every spot below the Wildcats saw more turmoil than usual. Check the results below.
- Arizona (17-0, 3 Points). Comment: "It seemed like there was just an overall lack of focus and too much hero ball going on early. Once everyone settled in and started moving the ball around, there was no way USC was able to get back into it, and Arizona asserted itself by finishing the game with a 25-10 run to win the game by 20." – Jason Bartel (@jasonbartel)
- California (12-4, 6 Points). Comment: "And so the Bears have won three straight conference road games by an average margin of eight points. Who saw that one coming? With three straight winnable games on the horizon, Cal has a sudden and unexpected opportunity to make some serious noise in the Pac-12." – Nick Kranz (@GoldenBlogs)
- UCLA (13-3, 10 Points). Comment: "UCLA enters the AP poll with a loss to Arizona." – Adam Butler (@pachoopsab)
- Colorado (14-3, 14 Points). Comment: "Damn. Dinwiddie news is terrible. Have a feeling Boyle will get this team to respond, but doubt they can make the second weekend now." – Andrew Murawa (@AMurawa)
- Washington (11-6, 18 Points). Comment: "Those who have complained about Romar's offense definitely have been put to silence. The UW offense looks much improved in the second year of the high post system, as the Huskies have been using an array of screens and cuts to get Wilcox and the rest of the guards open." – Erik Erickson (@Erik_Erickson)
- Stanford (10-5, 19 Points). Comment: "Maybe we start a new segment in here that's just called WHAT DOES THE STANFORD SAY? and then I just write or link to whatever I want and it's wildly unpredictable and completely upsetting but you're attracted to that instability by some unintelligible force that keeps telling you that they'll change. Did I just describe my ex-girlfriend?" – Adam Butler (@pachoopsab)
- Oregon (13-3, 21 Points). Comment: "Oregon could not capitalize on their golden opportunities to steal one from Stanford as their last two shots clanked off the rim; first Johnathan Loyd's jumper and then a driving layup from Dominic Artis, allowing the Cardinal to escape with an 82-80 win." – Jake Tabor (@JakeTabor541)
- Arizona State (13-4, 22 Points). Comment: "The Sun Devils are in a tough spot going forward, too, as eight of their 14 remaining games come against Arizona, California, Colorado and Oregon. Herb Sendek's crew has a fight on its hands just to get to .500 in the Pac-12." – Matt Norlander and Jeff Borzello (@EyeOnCBB)
- Oregon State (9-7, 25 Points). Comment: "The Beavers beat Stanford, 81-72! Great reward for a great week of practice. Really impressed by the team on both ends of the court." – Connor Pelton (@ConnorPelton28) Read the rest of this entry »

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Mazomanie native Skylar Grey had a crowd advantage for their Turner Hall Ballroom show Sunday. With all the tickets being free courtesy of Yahoo as part of the online company's On the Road music series/promotional campaign, no one could say the show wasn't worth the price of admission.
But rapper Macklemore, backed by his producing partner Ryan Lewis, didn't treat Sunday's show as a freebie for fans, but rather as a golden opportunity to establish himself beyond No. 1 singles "Can't Hold Us" and "Thrift Shop," as a fresh, live act worth putting money down for. »Read Full Article

Being on tour can take a toll on the body, but Katy Perry knows how to stay healthy even without lots of rest.
"When I was on the road, I liked to have a light soup, a piece of grilled chicken and some quinoa with grilled asparagus for dinner," the "Teenage Dream" singer, 27, tells PEOPLE. "I always need my daily vitamins and I loved fresh-pressed juices and coconut water. I also love snacks, but pick healthier options like veggies and hummus, tangerines or Popchips," for which she is a spokesperson.
"Eating healthy is so important because I can't afford to get sick," Perry says. "When I was on the road, it was very important to eat a balanced meal and to make sure my energy was up for every two-hour show."
Aside from eating right, the pop star says she feels the best about her body when she gets into "a routine of waking up early, starting my day with a workout, meditating and getting fresh air."
As for those workouts, Perry doesn't hit the gym.
"I love being outdoors," she says. "I prefer to go on hikes or ride my bike."

Everything Great about Irish Golf Found at Portmarnock
To most Americans and Europeans, green symbolizes nature and life; to me, the color means friends and good times. So it seems appropriate that on the morning after I played famed Portmarnock Golf Club, one of the top courses in Ireland and known worldwide, green was what I remembered most.
18th Green at Portmarnock GC with Clubhouse
That may be because of the over-the-top treatment I received as a guest of the club, or it was due perhaps to the great round I enjoyed on the Old Course at Portmarnock, whose red and blue nines were designed by the club's founder, William Pickeman, and date back to 1894. There's also a third nine (yellow) fashioned by Fred Hawtree in 1971, which has characteristics similar to the original course.
Located just north of Dublin in the hamlet of Portmarnock on the western coast of Ireland, the course and its grounds occupy some 500 acres of a small peninsula wedged between the Irish Sea and a tidal inlet north of Dublin Bay.
The isthmus was once owned by whiskey distiller John Jameson and his family (they had a home and an unrelated private nine-hole course on the property's north side), and originally consisted of just nine holes, with another nine added two years after the club was founded.
The club offers splendid views of Ireland's Eye (a small island near Dublin Bay) and, when looking inland, of the country's capital city. But don't get distracted -Portmarnock GC (not to be confused with the Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links, a 1995 design by Bernhard Langer) demands full attention on every shot.
Portmarnock Golf Club
Never a Dull Moment
The par-72 layout is carded at 7,466 yards from its back set of three tees. But Portmarnock's appeal is not length - it's the course's variety that makes it so memorable.
Surrounded by water on three sides and laid out in a serpentine manner which eventually leads back to the clubhouse, Portmarnock has no two successive holes running in the same direction. When the wind is up, all bets are off trying to tame this beast. The routing winds between dunes and involves a handful of elevated tees, some blind approaches and twisting doglegs.
The current layout follows the original course, although it's been lengthened considerably over the decades. The only significant change was the insertion in 1927 of a now-famous par-3, the 204-yard 15th, which shifted the original 15th to a hole ahead.
In general, it's recommended to drive straight here. Though the narrow, dimpled fairways curl between thick fescues and are demarcated by deep pot bunkers, the landing areas are generally in full view from the tee and mostly flat. The bounces are usually predictable and the hazards stern, but they are not impossible to recover from unless you're deep in the treacherous and gnarly fescue and marram grasses bordering the holes.
Portmarnock GC's 4th Hole
In the past decade, contemporary golf architect Martin Hawtree (relative of Fred) has changed a few holes. He reworked the 417-yard opener; it now runs along Baldoyle Estuary, with a new putting surface that requires a brave and precise approach.
After the first, the course meanders through dunes, deceiving golfers into a false sense of security with a seemingly gentle visage. Portmarnock has only three par-3s (the 184-yard seventh, 177-yard 12th and the 15th). There's also a stretch of mid-length par-4s at Nos. 1-5, with another batch in the middle of the round.
The downwind, 411-yard par-4 14th, which plays into a small tabletop-type target that is heavily bunkered at the front, is another standout. English professional Henry Cotton, who won five major titles including three British Opens, regarded Portmarnock's 14th as the best hole in all of golf.
Holes 15-17 at Portmarnock GC are considered among the finest in the Emerald Isle. The 15th lies directly along the shore, and from its elevated tee the proper shot must arc over thick rough to a low-lying green surrounded by three pot bunkers and flanked left by a deep recess. Immediately right of the green are a thick hedge and marram grass. Factor in the prevailing head winds, and this is a very daunting tee shot.

At the start of the 577-yard par-5 16th, the fairway looks like a mowed path in a tall-grass field. The landing area is sloped, but never for long in the same direction, and is later bisected by a three-foot-high ridge. The putting surface slopes severely from back to front and is well-bunkered.
The brutal 472-yard 17th is a straight par-4 that usually plays into a prevailing wind. The approach, usually with a hybrid or fairway metal, is to a green partially obscured by a right-hand bunker and snaggy grass.
Like all true links, Portmarnock was designed by Mother Nature, though what makes it a classic is how Pickeman crafted - and later architects refined - cleverly consistent holes across the terrain's low-lying features.
A true test, Portmarnock GC has hosted 19 Irish Opens (including the first in 1927), a Walker Cup, Canada Cup (World Cup), Irish Amateur championships and numerous other top-flight amateur and professional events. In 2012 it hosted both the St. Andrews & Jacques Leglisé Trophy competitions.
Aerial View of Portmarnock
Visitors and groups will greatly enjoy the traditions and wonderful atmosphere that are hallmarks of Portmarnock. It doesn't overwhelm with pretty views, huge dunes or massive pot bunkers. Instead, it boasts one demanding hole after another, each with a different strategy because of the ever-changing winds and varied directions of play.
A visit to Portmarnock GC offers a truly unique experience and a superior taste of Irish golf. For more information, see www.portmarnockgolfclub.ie/.

Make memories at Women's 5K
Rhonda Berlin appeared on the Her Times November 2011 cover with her mother and daughters. The three generations ran and walked in the 2011 Her Times 5K. She tells us her favorite things about the race and what she's looking forward to this year.
This will be my fifth year running the Her Times 5K.
Last year I ran the race in my slowest time ever. However, the 2011 race is one I remember as a personal best. I ran beside my 10-year-old daughter, Katie, as she completed her first 5K run. I got to watch her cross the finish line with a big grin on her face saying, "I ran the whole way." (I may have cried a little.)
This will be the third time my mom, Gloria Morgan, walks in the race. My daughter Mandy, 9, will walk for the second time. It will be my daughter Katie's third Her Times. She walked once and ran once.
This year, Katie, 11, has girlfriends to run with and no longer needs so much motivation from Mom. This year I'll run alone, and I won't lie, this mom is gunning for a personal best time.
I'll look forward to hearing race director and friend Heather Cass yelling my name at the finish line. Introduce yourself. She'll cheer for you too.
Then I'll put on my new race T-shirt. I hear they're hot pink this year. I'll stand with friends and cheer on my mom, my two daughters, countless friends and all of the other amazing women who cross the finish line. I can hardly wait.
The list of things I love about the Her Times 5K is long. Women's cut T-shirts (both cute and comfortable), great snacks at the finish and a DJ blasting a girl-power playlist are just the beginning. It all focuses on women, and it includes free baby-sitting. So get out and run.

What are you most proud of? I have made many more of these as gifts, however the one I'm the most proud of is not photographed. It's my very first one and I wear it, black and gold.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Have extreme patience at first. Wire can be difficult to work with. Line all your beads up first and create some what of a design. Don't expect your design to come out exactly, or you'll be frustrated. Go with the design that comes from the braiding of the 3 strands worked. Every item is unique and all it's own.
so pretty! Me and my girls just decided we wanted to break into the jewelry-making craft... seeing this makes me more excited.

Just a couple weeks after her engagement to Big Sean ended, the actress, 27, reportedly is in trouble with producers of the hit show over her behavior on set.
But despite a flurry of rumors that include everything from a nasty feud with star Lea Michele to a meltdown that got her written off the remaining shows, her rep says the actress remains gainfully employed.
"Rumors that Naya was let go or fired are false," her rep tells PEOPLE.
A Glee source also denies a clash with Michele. "There was no feud with Lea – that was made up," says the source.
And the reports certainly haven't stopped Rivera from expressing her love for the show.
"SO excited to watch Glee tonight!" she Tweeted Tuesday. "#doowop #shirleymaclaine #fancy."
A rep for 20th Century Fox has "no comment."

Oliver Platt, Jerry Lewis, Lee Evans
Has any movie previously sketched the connection between British vaudeville and American stand-up comedy? That, at any rate, is the unusual launching point for Funny Bones, directed (and written, with Peter Flannery) by Peter Chelsom.
Platt, a comic whose father is a legendary jokester billed as Mr. Originality (Lewis), bombs on opening night at the Oasis in Vegas. He flees the States for Blackpool, the splendidly tacky British resort where he was born and where, he believes, he can rediscover the wellspring of humor by seeking out local routines. It soon becomes apparent that the local comedic genius is a mentally unstable young man. He's played, brilliantly, by Evans, an uncommonly agile stand-up comic (this is his first feature film) with the bent, wiry body of a bobby pin, a watchful, cunning face that suggests John Malkovich and hair that could have been borrowed from Harpo Marx. He's a find. Scary, but a find.
The movie, however, has problems. Director Chelsom, best known for 1991's pleasant Irish comedy Hear My Song, is going for something darker here. There's a peculiar subplot involving a pair of amputated feet (odd, isn't it? But you probably wouldn't try for laughs with hands). There are also pathetic old vaudeville routines and a lot of ruminating about the heartsick misery beneath the clown's greasepaint smile.
The movie wobbles so desperately between humor and psychosis, it becomes excruciating. One wants to admonish these people with the words of W.C. Fields, who may have been wretched but never pretended it made him a worthier person: "Don't be a mooncalf! Don't be a luddyduddy! Don't be a jabbernow! You aren't one of those, now—are you?" Funny Bones has too many jabbernows. (R)

Rumors of Hillary Clinton's political demise were greatly exaggerated.
Senator Clinton finally broke Barack Obama's momentum with big primary wins in Ohio and Texas.
Click play to watch Pat Robertson's interview with CBN News' David Brody, following this report.
And John McCain officially clinched the Republican nomination.
Proving that she's still very much in the fight, Clinton was all smiles after Tuesday's primary victories.
"This nation is coming back and so is this campaign," Clinton said to a cheering crowd.
Clinton's comeback revives her campaign, which until a few days ago, many pundits had tried to write off.
But she rallied her base - women, working class voters and Latinos - and they let their voices be heard.
With decisive wins in Ohio and Rhode Island - and Texas as the prize - Clinton is arguing that she deserves the party's nomination because she won in big states and swing states.
"You all know if we want a Dem president, we need a Dem nominee that can win the battleground states just like Ohio," Clinton said.
Despite Clinton's big wins, she still trails behind Obama in overall pledged delegates.
The two now roll up their sleeves and hit the campaign trail hard.
Despite his losses, Obama says the math is on his side.
"We know that no matter what happens tonight, we still have the same delegate lead that we had this morning. And we are on our way to winning this nomination," Obama said.
On the Republican side, the race is over. With enough delegates to lock up his party's nomination, John McCain is gearing up for November's general election.
"Stand up with my friends. Stand up and fight for America, for her strength, her ideals, and her future, the contest begins tonight," McCain said.
Last night, rival Mike Huckabee bowed out and threw his support behind the GOP's presumptive nominee.
"It's now important that we turn our attention to not what could've been or what we wanted to have been but what now must be and that is a united party," Huckabee said.
McCain also received congratulations phone calls from both Clinton and Obama. But this afternoon, he gets his biggest endorsement to date from President Bush.
While it's now clear for Republicans who their nominee will be, for Democrats the race for the White House is far from over.
With a caucus in Wyoming this weekend, Mississippi's primary next Tuesday, and 158 delegates at stake in Pennsylvania's primary seven weeks away on April 22, some Democrats worry that the continued competition will will weaken their candidate as Republicans unite behind theirs.

Career Goal: My science degree gave me an insight into a world beyond simply general practice, and I became involved in several different projects at my university, including a study of the relationship between pedigree dog breeds using the Y chromosome and an investigation consequently although I have continued my interest in the practice of veterinary medicine, I have developed a taste for research. I plan to work in a mixed practice for a couple of years after graduating, and then go on to either a PhD or an internship.
