The wind-driven Doce Fire that has scorched nearly 6,400 acres near Prescott is 10 percent contained, officials said Thursday.
Iron Springs Road has been re-opened for traffic as the fire is heading northwest, incident commander Tony Sciacca said.
The winds are expected to gust until Friday and die down Saturday, while humidity levels may go up, which would aid firefighting efforts, he said.
"We can bump the containment up quickly when the wind dies," Sciacca said. "If Mother Nature cooperates in the next couple of days, we hope to tell you we have more containment."
Costs so far to fight the human-caused blaze are between $2.4 million to $2.6 million, Sciacca said.
More than 600 federal, state and local firefighters have been battling the Doce Fire about 8 miles northwest of Prescott in Granite Mountain Wilderness since it was reported at 11 a.m. Tuesday. It is so named because it started near the Doce Pit, a popular target-shooting area.
Mandatory evacuation orders affecting 465 homes remain in place, Sciacca said. He could not give an indication when residents can return home.
The human-caused fire has charred 6,379 acres based on infrared scans conducted Wednesday night. No structures had been damaged or injuries reported.
State officials have activated the emergency response center at Papago Park, where state agencies would coordinate response if the fire reaches state land, he said.
Homes in Granite Basin, Alto Recreation Area, Black Jack, American Ranch, Sundown Acres, Cielo Grande, Stazinski Road, Mint Creek Ranch and Camp Anytown have been evacuated. But not all residents have left their homes.
Yavapai County Sheriff Scott Mascher said the fire is projected to move in a northwest direction. If that happens, authorities will use a 911 notification to give residents time to prepare for a possible evacuation.
"No structures have been lost, no lives have been lost," Mascher said. "But we are not out of it yet. Overall I think things are going very well."
Mascher said he was at Sundown Acres to help with the evacuation because the fire had moved quickly from the mountain into the neighborhood.
"The fire had moved so fast that not everyone had evacuated yet," he said. "There was no doubt in my mind that we would lose some homes. At one residence the fire was actually in the yard. And out of nowhere came the firefighters.
"Without them we would have lost a string of homes in that neighborhood."
Gila River Fire Capt. Jesse Zuniga was in the Sundown neighborhood Wednesday night.
"It was pretty intense when we first got up here," said Zuniga, adding that the flames came up to a property line and the homeowner would likely have lost the home if not for slurry dropped ahead of blaze.
Gov. Jan Brewer on Thursday declared a state of emergency, freeing up $100,000 in state money and allows her to activate the National Guard, if necessary.
Officials said the blaze was human-caused but would not say whether it was accidental or arson. It remains under investigation by the U.S. Forest Service.
Asked how it was determined the fire was human-caused, Prescott National Forest spokeswoman Noel Fletcher said, "We've not had any thunderstorms come by or any lightening. And so what else would have been the cause?"
Sciacca said "we are in pretty good shape" despite losing the two DC-10 tankers, which have been pulled to the Silver Fire in New Mexico.
"We still have four heavy helicopters that are very effective when we do direct tactics," he said. "We are making progress."
A crew of Bullhead City firefighters are helping fight the Doce Fire near Prescott after Fire District officials debated whether or not to send firefighters after receiving reimbursement for battling blazes across the West almost a year late.
The Bullhead City Fire District was one of a handful of fire agencies that, two weeks ago, still were waiting to be paid for battling wildfires last year. Officials from some of those agencies said they might not send firefighters to help this year because they couldn't carry the burden of extra costs and slow payments interfere with budget planning that ultimately could impact fire safety at home.
Issues at federal agencies that reimburse local fire departments that contribute firefighters were blamed for holding up payments to several Arizona districts, including Apache Junction, Bullhead City and Mohave Valley, officials said.
Bullhead City Fire Chief Rick Southey said the agency was reimbursed over the last two weeks for the approximately $95,000 it was owed, with the final $3,600 payment arriving Wednesday.
Southey said the fire district "seriously considered" not sending crews to help this year because "we have a responsibility to the taxpayers of our community (that) basically we should be spending their tax dollars within the community," and if they weren't reimbursed they couldn't fund their local operations.
But ultimately, public safety prevailed. The fire district currently has a two-man crew with a water tender in Colorado helping fight a wildfire, and has sent a three-man crew on a brush truck to battle the Doce Fire in Prescott.
"We're forgiving people and if they said they have the issues taken care of we're going to take that at face value and we'll see what happens," Southey said, "and hopefully we'll get our reimbursement in a timely fashion."
Federal reimbursements for Arizona departments that help fight fires on federal lands in Arizona and other states, such as Idaho, New Mexico and California, are distributed by the state Forestry Division.
Arizona State Forestry Division fire-management Officer David Geyer said June 5 that the lion's share of expenses, $16.5 million, has been paid to the majority of Arizona departments that fought wildfires both in state and outside last year.
Only $1.8 million was outstanding, he said, and federal agencies, which blamed a new billing process and the late signing of an interagency agreement for delays, are scrambling to pay the rest. "Roughly 90 percent of the payments have been made," Geyer said.
Geyer could not be reached for comment Thursday.

"This recipe didn't work at all. I added at least 3 more cups of flour and the dough was still too wet. It looked like a large cookie after baking, not like a round loaf. It had a very strong molasses taste. It definitely needs some sugar. I need to find another recipe and start over."

Many casual football fans might have first noticed Matt Krezmer when he scored a fourth-quarter touchdown Friday at Hughesville.
Those who know the game well noticed him all night. And they have noticed him his whole scholastic career. Krezmer might not touch the ball a whole lot but he is one of Montoursville's most valuable players.
The three-year starter at fullback and linebacker is a punishing lead blocker as well as a hard-hitting, smart defensive presence. That was on display throughout Friday's 42-7 win. He might not get many headlines, but Krezmer is a big reason his team does.
Article Photos
Matt Krezmer (37) blocks for Clay Stoner (43)?far more often than he touches the ball, but is still important for the Montoursville offense.
"His blocking from the fullback position is outstanding," Montoursville coach J.C. Keefer said. "I watched (New York Giants fullback) Henry Hynoski the other night and watched him leading up hard in the hole and that's what Matt reminds me of."
Krezmer's punishing lead blocks helped spring Clay Stoner for 143 yards and three touchdowns. With Krezmer leading the way, Stoner is among the district's rushing leaders and he has topped 100 yards three times. Krezmer also is an effective runner in short-yardage situations who caught two passes out of the backfield and scored on a six-yard run. Still, it his blocking that draws the biggest raves.
"Matt Krezmer is very valuable to the running game. He's almost like an extra lineman," Stoner said. "Without his blocks you can't go anywhere."
Krezmer and Stoner were part of a young Montoursville team that learned as it went in 2010. That team finished 3-7, but this duo made huge strides as the season progressed and a good relationship was built. Montoursville made a three-win improvement last year and returned to districts and now Montoursville is hoping to take the next step.
Krezmer is happy to be out in front, leading the way.
"He knows if this outside linebacker is coming, I'm either going to kick him out or hook him and he knows how to work his body and get Clay to the outside," Keefer said. "They've done it the last couple of years so they are getting pretty good at it. Matt's doing a heck of a job."
Good at opening up holes, Krezmer also is effective at closing them. The senior linebacker has a nose for the ball and made two stops for negative yards on Hughesville's first series. Krezmer's strong play sparked a dominant defensive performance and the Warrior starters allowed only 96 yards.
The frequent touchdown scorers and the players that put up big numbers often receive the most attention. Like an offensive lineman, Krezmer flies under the radar and helps those players flourish.
Observers might not notice Krezmer a lot, but opponents sure do. That is all that matters.
FOUR QUARTERS: Hughesville (0-4) is struggling, but the pieces to be successful are there. The results might not show it, but the Spartans have had some chances to be in every game. They do some things well, but then offset them with mistakes and bad plays.
Friday, Dakota Nixon scored on a 65-yard run to make it 21-7 and Hughesville then stopped Montoursville on downs before driving into Warrior territory. Just when it seemed the Spartans might make it a one-score game, disaster struck and Griffin Dunne returned an interception 52 yards for a touchdown. Hughesville was never the same again.
In a way that sequence was a microcosm for a team that has promise. Right now it is all about consistency.
"We have to put four quarters of football together. We haven't done that yet. We'll play two quarters well, but haven't put four quarters together yet," Hughesville coach Andy Brown said. "We just have to keep working to do that and get some consistency and not turn the ball over and not make penalties. It's stuff we preach every week and we just haven't gotten there yet."
Hughesville will try and do so Friday when it hosts surging North Penn (2-2). The Spartans have opened the season by playing four straight playoff qualifiers from last year who are a combined 13-3 so they are ready for another challenge. Their challenge now is to eliminate the mistakes that have doomed them the first four weeks. Do that and Hughesville has the potential to turn its season around, especially with talented young players like Nixon, Logan Henry, Clint Snyder and Jacoby Foresman making strides.
"I don't want the kids to be happy with moral victories. They are nice but at some point you have to see the results," Brown said. "We're going to continue to preach that you have to play four quarters and if you play well the scoreboard should take care of itself."
FORGET THE FUTURE: Four days ago, I wrote that Loyalsock's strength was in its future and that Mount Carmel would beat it by "a few touchdowns." Can I get a do-over?
Turns out the future is now for the Lancers who shook up District 4, stunning defending Class AA champion Mount Carmel, 32-29 in the Silver Bowl. Mount Carmel has won five state championships and Loyalsock had never beaten it before Friday. The Lancers did not care. They felt right at home in an environment that has intimidated so many teams in the past. They embraced the situation, embraced being the underdog and made a major statement.
Now the present is as bright as the future. If Loyalsock can beat a team like Mount Carmel on one of District 4's most hallowed fields than anything seems possible. If the Lancers use this win the right way and stay focused on the challenges ahead, starting with Shikellamy Friday, that win could be a season changer.
Loyalsock (2-2) played undefeated Danville and Central Columbia tough the previous two weeks. Still, nobody outside its locker room expected Loyalsock to beat Mount Carmel. Not a year after finishing 1-9. Not after scoring 12 points in two losses. It all came together, though, and Loyalsock played swarming defense while having one of its most productive offensive performances the last two years. Offense, defense, the line, linebackers, defensive backs, young, experienced ... they all jelled Friday and gave Loyalsock one of the biggest wins in its program history.
Not even the 2009 district championship team beat Mount Carmel. That squad lost, 20-0 in the Silver Bowl. The past four years, Mount Carmel blanked Loyalsock three times and outscored it, 149-7. That drives home how big this win was. Athletes dream for moments like last Friday at the Silver Bowl to come along.
This team will always know that it owned that moment.
EXTRA POINTS: Former Williamsport quarterback Michael Person led Allegheny College to one of the country's biggest Division III upsets last Saturday, as Allegheny edged No. 7 Wabash, 20-17 in overtime. Person, making his second career start, completed 22 passes to seven different receivers for 177 yards and was brilliant on a game-tying fourth-quarter scoring drive...North Penn delivered coach Tom Dickinson his 100th career win in dramatic fashion, edging Towanda, 21-20. The defense came through with 10 seconds remaining, stuffing Justin Hunsinger on a 2-point try for the win. Dickinson has built a perennial winner at North Penn (2-2) and the Panthers have a shot to make districts in what once looked like a rebuilding year...It was great receiving a voicemail from Dorothy Bingaman Friday afternoon. Bingaman, 97, is the oldest Montgomery alum living and is cheering for the Red Raider football team as hard as she cheered for Montgomery teams during her school days.
Dr. Masse's Top 5
1. Montoursville (3-1): The Warriors were able to work on their passing game Friday and were effective. Quarterback Aaron Cole completed 10 of 19 passes for 119 yards. Cameron Karschner caught six passes for 72 yards and displayed the soft hands that have made him one of the district's top receivers the last two years. Cole is a first-year starter and possesses a nice arm.
"The running game and the passing game work off each other," Stoner said. "We'll run a couple times and that opens up the pass and if we get the passing game going it opens up the run. It's a cohesive kind of thing."
2. Lewisburg (3-1): One can argue that Brandon Smith is the best player in Lewisburg history. The four-year starting linebacker also might be its most versatile. Smith is playing his third position-running back-in three years and again is excelling at it. The two-time all-state selection ran for 146 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 24-14 win over Shikellamy and former coach Todd Tilford. Smith, looking at Penn State and Princeton, was a conference all-star at tight end in 2010 and wide receiver last year. This year, he is among the area leaders in receptions and also has run for 285 yards, leading Lewisburg in both categories.
3. Loyalsock (2-2): Linebacker Mickey Haller quietly has been a quality linebacker the past two seasons. Friday, his performance spoke loud and the rest of the district now knows what Loyalsock has known for a while-this kid can play. Haller was key to shutting down Mount Carmel's outside running game, made more than 10 tackles and broke up four passes. Defensive end Cody McCracken also was outstanding while Kyle Datres returned a fumble for a touchdown, Nick DiFrancesco made a game-clinching interception and Mike Dougherty shined on both sides. Haller's post-game quote to Sun-Gazette reporter Mitch Rupert is my favorite this season: "You come down here and it's intimidating," he said. "Everyone is wearing red. Grown men are saying stuff to you. But we walked in and said, 'Hell yeah, we're going to embrace it.'
4. Muncy (4-0): The Indians might have been caught looking ahead to Southern Columbia early in Friday's 38-7 win over Warrior Run, but that is OK now. The chance Muncy has been waiting for has arrived. Muncy heads to Southern Friday for a showdown of unbeaten teams. The Indians continued rolling against Warrior Run, gaining 500 yards for a second straight week while intercepting four passes. Sophomore wide receiver Maurice Brown seems to get better every week and had five catches for a career-high 140 yards. Keep an eye on freshman running back Manuel Ramos in the future too. He has played against some backups but has shined in that role, running for 163 yards and three touchdowns on just 12 carries.
5. South Williamsport (3-1): The Mounties showed no quit against Southern Columbia, scoring the game's final 14 points in a 42-21 loss. South lost for the first time but has all its goals in front of it and knows that if it plays well over the final six weeks it could see Southern again in the playoffs. Quarterback Tyler House has thrown seven touchdown passes, averaging one for every three completions this season. Running backs Brandon Stonge, Matt Bartholomew and Dominick Bragalone now all have more than 200 yards. South is capable of winning any game on its remaining schedule if it stays focused and tries to take the first step Friday at Warrior Run.
player of the Week
Von Walker, Central Mountain: Walker played the best game in Central Mountain history, running for 362 yards and five touchdowns while throwing for 156 more and another score while leading Central Mountain to a 50-14 win over Bellefonte. Folks, that's 518 yards of offense from one player. That is remarkable. And oh yeah, he added two sacks. Walker might be the best player in Central Mountain history and those who have not seen him play should try and catch the Wildcats in action because Walker is worth the price of admission.
Game of the Week
Mount Carmel at Montoursville: Two of the district's most tradition-laden programs collide Friday at Memorial Stadium. Mount Carmel (2-2) could be in desperation-mode after losing its last two games, adding more intrigue to a big game in which Montoursville is trying to exact revenge after losing twice to the Tornadoes last year. This one will have a playoff feel to it. Heck, any time these perennial title contenders get together it always does.

This patchset cleans up hugetlbfs architecture headers and adds new
primitives as preparation for the s390 large page support. Most notably
we found that we need to add a new tlb flush for the copy-on-write of
a large page (patch #2). We think that this is a bug, but obviously one
that hasn't shown up so far on any of the other large page architectures.

Sensational Shiva:Guwahati's Golden Boy
We may be happy for India's Champions Trophy success and it's resurgence in the ongoing Tri-series in West Indies. We may be applauding Andy Murray for his historic Wimbledon title, perhaps a bit too much. But one achievement that should not go under the radar is that of a spirited teenager who fought hard (literally) to bring laurels to India. 19 year old boxer Shiva Thapa deserves your time and attention because he has just become the youngest Indian boxer to win gold at the Asian Boxing Championships at Jordan.
Shiva beat home favourite Obada Alkabeh on a split decision of 2-1 in the 56kg class. The teenager's determination stemmed from the fact that he had to retire hurt from the championships 2 years ago. A dream left unfinished saw a happy ending this time."The hurt is over. I was carrying it with me for a long time. My shoulder gave way in the last Asian Championship in Korea in 2011 but everything went just perfectly this time," said the 19-year-old.
"I had to shut my mind to the noise outside. Being the local boy, he was favourite and everybody was rooting for him. I had to stay focused and not get distracted," he explained. It was a good fight and I enjoyed because it's fun to fight in front of a partisan crowd. The kind that motivates you to fight even harder," he added.

The cholecystocolonic fistula (CCF) represents 15% of all cholecystoenteric fistulas, thus being the second most frequent after the colecysto-duodenal fistula.1Unlike fistulas between the gallbladder and proximal gastrointestinal tract, often revealed by intestinal obstruction, more than 90%2of CCF cases are discovered during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Such misdiagnosis may result in a challenging situation for the surgeon, who must achieve a diagnosis, usually while managing multiple adhesions, and must switch from a very low-morbidity surgery, sometimes during laparoscopy, to a procedure that is harder to perform and is usually in older patients with comorbidities.
In fact, symptoms of CCF are nonspecific, thus being neglected for years. Diarrhea1,3,4due to the malabsorption of biliary acids that bypass the terminal ileum and Bahuin valve, and right hypochondrium pain1,5are the most frequent symptoms of CCF, although their lack of specificity reduces their usefulness. Jaundice and hyperpyrexia are more helpful because they may prompt exploration of the liver and hepatic loggia, but they are rare.3,4Although rarer than in cases of more proximal fistulas, emergency complications such as obstruction,5,6massive bleeding,7or hepatic abscess8have also been described and may help preoperatively achieve a correct diagnosis.
Of the proposed diagnostic means, barium enema4and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)3,4present a significant number of false negatives (barium enema,3,6ERCP1,4), are relatively invasive (ERCP, colonoscopy), or may not be considered routine (ERCP, scintigraphy) for patients with nonspecific symptoms. The CT scan may help diagnose CCF5,7in the case of precipitating complications such as bleeding,7biliary ileus,5or hepatic abscess. In this case, the 2-dimensional image allowed us to identify the hepatic abscess and pneumobilia in the gallbladder (Figure 1), whereas the 3-dimensional CT reconstruction showed the fistula to be between the gallbladder and colon (Figure 2), allowing us to plan the most appropriate procedure.
. Computed tomographic scan (2-dimensional) of the abdomen shows a 5-cm abscess of fourth hepatic segment associated with pneumobilia.
. Computed tomographic reconstruction (3-dimensional) of the abdomen shows a fistula between the gallbladder and the right transverse colon.
Many treatments of CCF exist, depending on the clinical picture. If the patient does not have gallstone ileus and the symptoms are strictly linked to CCF or if CCF is accidentally discovered at surgery, cholecystectomy and tangential transverse colon resection is proposed as a 1-stage procedure that may be accomplished by laparoscopy.1,3If a concomitant hepatic abscess is present, it should be surgically drained.8Conversely, if CCF is revealed by biliary ileus, it may be treated with operative colonoscopy9or enterolithotomy.5,6Depending on the conditions of the colon, a temporary colostomy may also be indicated.5Whether in older debilitated patients CCF should be treated at the same time10as a delayed procedure5or not at all6is still widely debated.
Our patient underwent a right subcostal incision and a difficult adhesiolysis. During the dissection, a sclerotic gallbladder, firmly adherent to the right transverse colon, was opened and a 1.5-cm faceted gallstone was extracted. Cholecystectomy was performed and the colon was tangentially resected by linear stapler; an intraoperative transcystic cholangiography showed no abnormalities. The hepatic collection was drained and a wide fenestration performed. Postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 8.

Denny Storrs, who operated the 27-hole course at 1370 W. State Road along the Thornapple River for the past 30 years, thanked the community for its support in a letter he posted on the golf course's web page on Tuesday, April 2.
"Thank for your past business and loyalty," said Storrs in his letter. "We wish to deeply express our enjoyment from the relationships we have built."
Storrs said he sold the 180 acres to Larry Haywood, an area dairy farmer whose family sold the land to the original golf course developer in 1963. The sale price has not been disclosed.
Since the sale closed in December, Haywood has removed the golf course's in-ground irrigation system and some of its trees. He has installed an agricultural irrigation system in preparation for a corn crop on about 160 acres of the property.
Haywood said he's glad to get the land back in the Haywood family. It was originally owned by his great-grandfather and developed as a golf course by his uncle after his great-grandfather's death.
When he was 16, Haywood said he played three holes on the new golf course before he fell ill and could not go on.
"I was so sick about what had happened to great-grandpa's farm," he said.
Haywood, 65, said he hopes his son and five grandsons will continue farming the property. They currently milk about 1,000 cows and till about 2,000 acres on property they own and rent.
Storrs said the sale made economic sense for him and his family. His two sons who worked with him on the golf course have made other career choices, he said
Golf courses have struggled in recent years as fuel and fertilizer costs have gone up while consumers have less disposable income to spend on recreational activities, Storrs said.
In his farewell letter, Storrs said he will be sending refunds to any members that pre-paid for their 2013 membership. He asked members to remove their personal golf carts from the property by May 1.
The closing marks the third West Michigan golf course to close in recent months.
Last November, the owners of Hidden Valley Golf Course near Gun Lake announced they were selling the property.
In December, the owner of Centennial Country Club in Cascade Township closed its 18-hole golf course, athletic facility and restaurant.

On the Portrush to Bushmills road, three miles east of Portrush, Dunluce is one of a series of fortifications built on rocky outcrops extending into the sea and is thought by many to be the most picturesque and romantic of Irish castles. A defended site from at least 500 A.D., the present Castle incorporates two of the original Norman towers dating from 1305. It was the power base of the North Coast for nearly 400 years and alternatively occupied by the warring Clans of Ulster, McQuillens, O'Neills, and McDonnells. It was during McDonnell's rule when preparations were under way for a grand Christmas banquet, that a large part of the castle collapsed into the sea taking with it nine unfortunate servants who happened to be working in the kitchens at the time. A tinker who was sitting on a window escaped their fate and the outline of "Tinker's Window" can be seen to this day.
Dunluce Old Church, now a roofless ruin, but once an important early foundation, is supposedly connected to the castle by an underground passageway. Sailors from the Spanish Armada are buried here. There is a disused holy well across the road to the east.
Nine miles from Portrush and two miles from Bushmills is Northern Ireland's premier tourist attraction. It has for centuries astounded people from all over the world with the splendid sight of its 38,000 stone columns, mostly hexagonal, formed millions of years ago by the cooling of molten lava. Local folklore suggests that it was really the creation of Finn McCool, a legendary Irish Giant - forming a pathway to Scotland to do battle with a Scottish opponent.
A 12-minute audiovisual show explores the local folklore and scientific theory behind its origins and includes spectacular aerial views of the beautiful Causeway Coast & Glens area, with commentary available in 5 European languages. (Auditorium seats 60.)
The Causeway's fame has been increased by the discovery - and recovery - at Port na Spaniagh in 1967 and 1968, of the most valuable treasure ever found in a Spanish Armada wreck. The galleass Girona, the biggest ship in the Armada, was wrecked in that jagged gulf in a storm on the night of October 26th, 1588, with only five survivors out of the 1,300 men aboard her. The Girona carried not only her own treasure but also what the Spaniards had been able to save from two other Armada ships wrecked earlier on the west coast of Ireland.
Portballintrae was the headquarters of Robert Stenuit, the Belgian marine archaeologist who, with a team of divers, located and retrieved the famous Girona treasure. Part of the treasure can be viewed at the Ulster Museum, Belfast.

Women's 400 Medley Relay Earn Gold on Day 1 of MAC
BUFFALO, N.Y. - The women's swimming and diving teamed earned a gold medal in the 400 medley relay on the opening day of competitions at the 2013 Women's Swimming and Diving MAC Championships. Emily Wisolek and Mallory Miles also set school records on the day in the 500 free and 200 IM.
The 400 medley relay team smashed the school record that was set last season at the MAC Championships by nearly five seconds. Katelyn Pratt started off with a 54.78 split in the backstroke portion followed by Bridgette Ruehl who swam a 1:00.71 breaststroke leg. Haley Richter clocked a 53.12 butterfly and Carlena Magley finished off with a 51.25 freestyle anchor leg. Combined the relay swam a 3:39.86 to set a pool record. Pratt's 54.78 leg set a school-record in the backstroke.
The 200 free relay team of Carlena Magley, Elaine Pitsas, Cori Vormohr and Jillian Bischoff combined efforts to swim the fifth-fastest 200 free relay in school history with a time of 1:34.98.
In the 500 free, Emily Wisolek set a program record with a time of 4:53.16 in the preliminaries to finish fifth and advance to the championship final where she finished fifth with a time of 4:53.32. Wisolek broke a school record that has stood since 1996 when Petra Mauritzon clocked a 4:54.20.
Cheyanne Jackson became just the fourth woman all-time in Ball State history to go under five minutes, clocking a personal-best 4:58.16 in the preliminaries which ranks as the fourth-fastest time in school history. Jackson swam a 5:00.15 in the championship finals.
Mallory Miles also set a program record, breaking her previous time in the 200 IM. Miles clocked a 2:02.72 in the championship consolation finals after earning a time of 2:03.68 in the morning session.
Stacey Wierman moved into the record books in the 200 IM with her personal-best time of 2:05.57. That swim was the fifth-fastest in Ball State history.
Mackenzie Imbro and Bridgette Ruehl also swam personal-bests with times of 2:07.05 and 2:07.06 which put them just outside the top-10 in Ball State all-time history. Jackie Igesias swam a 2:08.24 while Sumaiyah Ahmad turned in a personal-best 2:13.16. Larah Beaver clocked a season-best time of 2:13.23.
Leighann Mattson also set a personal-best time in the 500 free with a time of 5:06.36. Kayla Hussey clocked a 5:19.63 in the event.
In the 50 free, Carlena Magley was the top finisher for the Cardinals placing 18th with a time of 23.87 in the preliminaries. Jillian Bischoff swam a personal-best 24.07 and classmate Cori Vormohr followed suit with a personal-best time of 24.20. Elaine Pitsas also clocked a lifetime best with a 24.41.
In the 1-meter diving competition, Natalie Grissom scored a mark of 224.65 while Madie Zirzow tallied a 216.20.
After the first day of competition, Ball State sits in eighth place with 87 points. Miami leads the event with 191 points.
The excitement continues tomorrow with morning and afternoon sessions. All the action can be followed at mac-sports.com.

CDKN Workshop Addresses Climate Change, SDGs Interlinkages
7 April 2014: At a workshop on climate change, the post-2015 development agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) organized by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), participants underscored interlinkages between climate change and development, and the importance of ensuring harmony between the two policy fields. The workshop took place on 19 March 2014, in Jakarta, Indonesia.
During the workshop, Ilmi Granoff, Overseas Development Institute (ODI), said climate change "will determine whether we achieve our development goals in coming years," and that managing climate change depends in part on development decisions. The discussions highlighted, however, that while the "inextricable link" between climate change, sustainable development and poverty reduction is clear, the role climate change will play in the post-2015 development framework remains unclear.
Participants discussed the option of incorporating climate change into the SDGs by framing it either as a stand-alone SDG or as a goal combined with other areas, such as disaster resilience, water and sanitation, and/or biodiversity. According to Stephen Rodriques, UN Development Programme (UNDP), Indonesia's REDD+ programme could offer useful lessons in considering the stand-alone option. On climate change as a cross-cutting issue across various SDG areas, participants suggested ensuring that all goals are "climate smart," and that targets could be tagged to goals to deliver "climate compatible development." Some participants said this is less ambitious than the stand-alone option, but still a practical option for unifying climate change and the SDGs into a common framework.
Gordon Manuain, Office of the President's Special Envoy on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Indonesia, argued that what matters is that the SDGs are actionable and have "robust mechanisms to ensure coherence, accountability and enforcement," not whether climate change is a stand-alone goal or a cross-cutting issue. He said that the SDGs should not become "another forum for entrenched country positions and unproductive negotiations."
Participants also discussed: moving to green GDP systems in national planning with human well-being as a central priority; the SDGs recognizing the role of local-level problem solving, enabling local solutions to climate change and empowering local groups; how developing countries can influence both the climate change and the SDG processes through strong commitment; bottom-up leadership and ambition; and advantages and disadvantages of pursuing an integrated climate change and SDG agenda.
CDKN supports decision-makers in designing and delivering climate compatible development by combining research, advisory services and knowledge management in support of locally owned and managed policy processes. [CDKN Press Release]

20 Ways To Create A Stylish NurseryCasi Densmore-Koon

Adult soccer is not only a way to reconnect with friends and indulge in your favorite sport, but it's also a fantastic way to stay healthy while getting older. TheNYTimes.com reported several health benefits specific to adult soccer – especially in women – and found that those benefits were long term.
"Playing soccer not only led to better balance and improved muscle strength, but the sport also increased a woman's bone mineral density by an average of 2 to 3 percent," says New York Times writer Tara Parker-Pope. "The gains were greater among the women who had played soccer instead of running."
And, the same goes for the men. "Other studies … have shown similar heart and bone benefits in male soccer players. One study looked at muscle function and balance in a group of 65- to 75-year-old men who played recreational soccer most of their lives," says Tara.
"In a one-leg balance test, the older soccer players performed just as well as 30-year-old men. Older men who weren't trained in soccer had twice as many falls during the balance test as their soccer-playing peers."
The results are in. For a better life, keep on playing! Read the article in its entirety here.

Seton Hall announced that the school has suspended Bobby Gonzalez for the first Big East game next season. The decision was announced today, and "solely" a result of the post-game remarks about officiating during the season finale. The school noted they made the move in an attempt to satisfy the Big East prior to any potential league penalties.
The school's release is available here, and the Star-Ledger report by Colin Stephenson is also posted.
We'll wait until more details are known before offering a full reaction (right now it varies between disappointment in Seton Hall and anger), but here are a few instant feedbacks:
-- The Big East has never suspended a coach. Would they really have levied something worse than a one-game suspension if Seton Hall decided to do nothing? Would the league even issue a one game suspension when you compare Bobby's statements to those made by Jim Calhoun earlier in the season about the same official.
-- I cannot envision a scenario in which this would occur without the approval of Msgr. Sheeran and doubt he first learned about it through SHUPirates.com, but it was most likely the Athletics Director who made the recommendation.
-- The news breaks just as the staff was preparing to secure a verbal commitment from JUCO forward Gary Flowers. This cannot help.

Oh, Those Polka Dots! Oh, Those Bows! Hardy Amies Designs Queen Elizabeth's Clothes
little talent, but...I do have style."
The dashing couturier is also intensely diplomatic, which is no small part of the Queen-dressing job. "I have never known the Queen not to succeed in getting the dress right for the occasion," he says, pointing out that criticisms of her are often based on photographs. Amies says the Queen comes to him "for her 'best clothes,' " while the rest of her business, too much for one designer, goes to the house of the late Norman Hartnell and to Ian Thomas, a Hartnell protégé.
Elizabeth is a demanding customer, but nonetheless she's always right. Skirts must not be so short as to ride up when she sits; nor should they be so full as to blow in the wind. Jackets must be buttoned so as not to appear awkward when she waves. "It is not becoming" for the 5'3", size-10 Queen "to be frivolous," says Amies. Accompanied by Miss Lilian, who fits the Queen's dresses, and Mr. Michael, who fits her jackets and coats, Amies visits Buckingham Palace more than a dozen times a year for fittings—often before royal journeys. Indeed, barely three days before she embarked on her current tour of Canada and the U.S., Elizabeth summoned Amies for a final fitting of wool dresses and coats.
Amies specializes in an over-40 clientele, and counts Joan Sutherland, Princess Michael of Kent and Lady Spencer, Princess Diana's stepmother, among his regulars. The Princess of Wales herself has yet to call. "We could do a marvelous job for her," says Amies, "but we're very busy anyway, thank you very much."
Born in London, Amies is the son of a surveyor and a dress-shop saleswoman. Even as a child he displayed a flair for dressing people. Recalls his sister, Rosemary: "At 11, he'd drape me in towels after our baths and make a train and tell me to go show our mother." There was no money for college, but eventually Hardy's mother arranged a job for him as a showroom manager at the London fashion house of Lachasse.
"I leapt into fashion and felt completely at home," he says. He opened his own house in 1945. "I come from clearly humble circumstances. But having seen so many duchesses in their underpants, I sort of acquired a certain veneer of gentility." In 1960 he started his own menswear line, which today accounts for some 80 percent of his estimated $150-million-a-year business. Says Amies: "I've always been a better tailor than a dressmaker."
On weekends Amies, who has never married, retreats from his Savile Row premises to a converted schoolhouse 75 miles west of London, where he gardens, plays tennis and does needlepoint. On his 75th birthday last July, Amies announced that he was leaving his firm to his staff. Not that he expects the changeover to come soon. "I have managed to get tickets for Centre Court at Wimbledon up to 1990," he has said. "I plan to be there."

After calling his made-for-TV Hills marriage ceremony "a nightmare," Spencer Pratt, along with wife Heidi Montag have said "I do" for what they call their first "real" wedding.
"It's just me and my bride on a little secret beach with nobody else, and it's just about her," Pratt tells Entertainment Tonight of their vow renewal, which took place Sunday at a beachfront house in Carpenteria, Calif. "Last time it was about everything else, it was about drama, it was about ratings."
Echoes Montag: "It was about everyone but us, so this is really our first wedding about Spencer and I and our love."
Seemingly happier than ever, Montag says she can "finally just be Heidi," adding, "I'm just really enjoying every day."
The duo, who recently said they are broke, had their dream wedding donated to them, according to ET.

SHELBY COUNTY, Alabama -- The Greater Shelby County Chamber of Commerce is partnering with schools to give ninth-graders this academic year a taste of the real world.
The chamber with the help of its membership is bringing the two-day "Keeping It Real" program into most public and private schools in Shelby County for ninth-graders to learn about financial responsibilities the students will encounter as adults.
Chamber Executive Director Kirk Mancer called the exercise a "game of life" for the students who will receive money based on their job, which would depend on their level of education.
"The premise is that the end of it, the student will realize if we hang in there and finish high school and go on to a two-year or four-year school, we will have more resources to do what we want to do," Mancer said.
In turn, that helps create a stronger workforce in Shelby County to help local businesses, he said.
The effort is part of the chamber's Shelby One initiative to work on boosting industry and the workforce in the area. One area of the plan is community and workforce development, and the chamber is working on partnering the business community with the schools to help out, Mancer said.
Rene Day, coordinator of career and technical education, college and career planning, and community partnerships for the Shelby County Board of Education, said the program's goal is to stimulate the students to think about their futures.
"We say often it really does take a community to raise our children and educate them. The whole key is the community partnership who have invested interest in these young children because they are Shelby County people," Day said.
As head of the chamber's education committee, Day said members can work with students to help them understand what challenges they can face beyond high school.
"Our young people need to hear it from a variety of people," she said. "When they have people in the careers talking to them, it gives them a whole different perspective."
Keeping It Real will offer students an opportunity to visit 12 different stations that will present them various aspects of life including education, jobs, children, housing, transportation, insurance, taxes and more.
"For the ninth-grade students, they will be given a life situation and they will be asked to go to the different stations" and pay the various expenses associated with each, Mancer said.
The students can expect to find out what it means to have a host of financial responsibilities with limited dollars at their disposal. "They have to decide what they're going to spend their money on," Day said.
Students will learn that "those who drop out of high school have far less money to spend than someone who stayed in school," she said. "It's helping them to understand priorities and setting priorities, and how to manage money on a monthly basis."
Mancer said the chamber group is planning on offering programs for all high school students in Shelby County, but plans call for starting with the ninth-graders this year. The following year will have a career awareness fair for 10th-graders, while subsequent years will have additional programs for 11th- and 12th-graders.
"Keeping It Real is not a standalone program," Mancer said. "We're just starting to implement them one year at a time."
The program showcases how businesses and schools can partner with each other to benefit the students through the Shelby One plan, Day said.
"That to me is one of the most exciting things. The Shelby One plan has done so many great things, but this is certainly one that is going to see some great return with our students," she said.

Every time I consume wheat I feel depressed the next day. Staying away from it has made me feel sooo much better emotionally
For me, the evidence that chronic wheat ingestion may contribute to autoimmune problems is frightening enough to stay away, even if it doesn't have any noticeable acute effects (I do get indigestion if I eat something accidentally that contains gluten, although I can drink beer 1 or 2 times a year without noticeable ill effect).
And glycemic index is a useless metric. I'll stick to white rice, potatoes, yams, and plantains for my starches. If you want to roll the dice, there's plenty of research, some of which has already been pointed out above, and plenty more of which you can google yourself. Ultimately, we all have to decide which toxins scare us enough to avoid, and then apply PB Law # 2 (avoid poisonous things) based on our own thresholds and parameters.
Every time I consume wheat I feel depressed the next day. Staying away from it has made me feel sooo much better emotionally
I'm sure other people can eat those things... If I eat a whole potato or in particular a whole sweet potato, my blood sugar goes waaaay out of bounds. But I have some insulin resistance going on, YMMV.
I agree that wheat as an occasional food for some people (some people not being me, since I have gastric gluten intolerance and multiple auto immune disorders) probably isn't the problem that is created when it is in EVERYTHING. Something like soy- no one in the history of the world has eaten soy in the kind of doses consumed in America. Only then does it become a disaster.

Bit meta to post a link to a forum on another forum, but I wouldn't want to copy and paste these without giving credit where it's due: Robb Wolf | Performance, Health & Longevity Forum • View topic - Wheat and Empirical Data
Also: Hey Robb, this person said gluten free diets are bogus!
Personally, wheat makes me fat and grumpy, while white potatoes, fruit and dark chocolate don't. That's quite enough proof for me.
I've been doing a bit of study lately so here is the crib notes on the different things that we may be concerned about with gluten ingestion:
There are four "types" of celiac disease: Classic, atypical, silent and latent. This does not take into account gluten sensitive or gluten intolerant (those are different!).
Of those four ATYPICAL CELIAC is the most common presentation. This means little to no gastrointestinal disturbance, but extraintestinal manifestation predominates (thyroid, skin..ect..).
97% of people with celiac are undiagnosed and average symptomatic for 11 years before diagnosis in those that are.
Gluten sensitivity is a type one allergy. Skin rash hypersensitivity and histamine reaction and so forth
Gluten intolerance is reaction without gene involvement, but still leads to widespread autoimmune vulnerability. This pathway produces antibodies that "stick" to various different self organs in a form of mimickry and cross reaction even with different food.
So the actual argument is about the prevalence of such issues. On the low end of opinion celiac is 1/133 people and gluten intolerance at 10%. On the high end of opinion celiac is still 1%, but gluten insensitivity and intolerance may be 50% or more (as a course of someones life prevalence increases with age and exposure).
What do you believe? I dunno, but if I were to ingest it regularly I would get regular seriological testing to make sure I caught any site of autoimmune reaction in the early stages.

The problem is the testing doesn't really get you anything. 25% of people who later have confirmed Celiac via a biopsy of the small intestine have no blood markers for Celiac, not justan insignificant reaction but a zero reaction, I'm a zero reaction person. (I can't myself gluten intolerant sometimes and Celiac sometimes- I've never had a biopsy, I don't see the point if stopping wheat stops the problem).
I wouldn't say that gluten intolerance or anything short of Celiac disease is not genetic. I have one of the "celiac genes" but all it does it change your risk of a reaction a certain percentage- whether that is "Celiac" or something we would want to call "gluten intolerance" I don't think there is some kind of hard line. Which is why in general I find the auto-immune "buckets" a little meaningless. Our medical system requires people to be sorted into buckets, but I'm not sure that makes them real.

Even those with celiac only have a genetic predisposiIion to it. Just having the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes does not make one celiac. Just like not having the markers does not make one immune to the possibility of a negative reaction to gluten. Its just a diagnostic line in the sand so to speak. if your in the 65-70% not carrying these genes then you don't have celiac disease (but you can still be gluten intolerant). Does it mean anything practically? Not really unless you know that such genetic markers run in your family and your trying to assess risk for yourself or other family members.

If you feel like having some wheat occasionally is supportive to your health (especially properly prepared wheat a la Weston Price), they by all means keep on keeping on. Health and diet are pretty personal, and I think we're all just trying to figure out what works best for us.
Here's what happens to me: I can eat a slice or two of naturally leavened sourdough bread with absolutely no problems. However, I find myself craving more. If I have a loaf in the house, it goes from one little open-faced sandwich, to toast for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, bread with dinner. My meals stop leaving me satisfied. I feel like I can't get enough food. I start snacking, but I only crave really terrible snacks. Suddenly, I'm bringing home beer and making meat pies. Wheat is addictive: once I start eating a little bit, I end up eating a lot. Then I bloat, I gain weight, my skin looks terrible, I get the shakes, and things are not good. So yeah, I could handle it in moderation, but "everything in moderation" does not work for an addictive food like wheat.
Your mileage may (and probably will) vary. But I don't really want to go down that path by telling myself I can eat it on a somewhat regular basis with no ill effects. Because I can't. I feel much better not indulging except for the occasional, worth it treat (e.g., some seriously good craft beer, San Francisco sourdough when I go there to visit my parents, pretty much anything a chef puts in front of me at a Michelin starred restaurant). Wheat is not something I'm going to be bringing into my house.

WARREN - City schools Superintendent Michael Notar said that when he heard about the Sunday morning crash in which several of his students were killed, his initial thought was to close school on Monday - longer if needed.
However, after speaking with counselors and school staff, Notar said he and other administrators at Warren City Schools agreed it would be in the best interest of everyone to hold classes as scheduled.
"We felt it was important to keep the doors open and to be here for our students, staff, the community and to offer any help that we can," Notar said.
''We wanted to do what we can to help everyone get through this. We had our staff at each of the schools there for the students as they came through the doors this morning.
''Some of the siblings of the victims came today (Monday). They needed that support. They needed each other, other students and teachers, to provide support they might not get if we closed the doors,'' Notar said.
Some students were too upset to take the Ohio Graduation Test scheduled to start Monday, while others used it as a distraction, Notar said. He said the district is making adjustments for students as needed.
Notar, along with Lt. Brian Holt, commander of the Ohio State Patrol's Warren Post, Warren Mayor Doug Franklin and Valley Counseling Ed Bolino, who is also a former school board member, addressed reporters at a news conference Monday morning.
Later, Notar and Holt also spoke to students during an assembly at Warren G. Harding High School.
"We just want to caution everyone not to speculate and to reassure them that we are doing everything we can to get everyone as many answers about this as possible," Holt said. "This is a very sad time."
Notar lowered his head often, wiping away tears, first as he spoke to news reporters Monday morning and later as he tried to encourage students at the high school. He said the district had received a tremendous amount of support from other area school superintendents offering to send counselors and administrators from their own staffs to help.

2000 Le Clos du Caillou Chateauneuf-du-Pape Reserve
Producer: Le Clos du Caillou
Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Rhone Blend
Origin: France
Region: Rhone
Appellation: Chateauneuf du Pape
96 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - January/February 2003
($95) Full bright ruby, one of the darkest examples of the vintage. Multidimensional nose blossomed with aeration to show black raspberry, cassis, minerals, violet face powder, roasted herbs and bitter chocolate. Wonderfully silky, expanding dark fruit flavors lifted by a compelling floral element. This is explosively aromatic in the mouth. A monumental wine that combines great density with uncanny inner-mouth perfume. Extremely fresh and firm on the back. I suspect this has a rather low pH for a Chateauneuf this rich. This blew away the Quartz when I tasted the two wines side by side. Interestingly, this includes about 30% mourvedre, but it's less tight than the Quartz today. I wouldn't say this is archetypical Chateauneuf du Pape, but it's an extraordinary wine, and will make a fitting testament to Vacheron, who reportedly bottled it himself in March, the day before his death.

DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks and Lamar Odom are done with each other.
The NBA's reigning Sixth Man of the Year and the defending NBA champions who are trying to make sure they get back to the playoffs, made it clear Monday that the partnership is over after an underwhelming 50-game stint.
"We've got to be able to look down that bench and count on folks to be consistent," general manager Donnie Nelson said. "Unfortunately with him in his state right now, he's just not capable of doing that. I say that with his best interest in mind. He's going through a very, very tough personal time. We certainly understand that. But we're in the thick of it in the West and we've got to win games."
Odom will be on the inactive list and not play again for the Mavericks, who were seventh in the Western Conference standings with nine games left in the regular season.
Even when wife and reality TV co-star Khloe Kardashian was in the stands near the Mavericks bench, Odom never seemed happy or comfortable in Dallas. His averages of 6.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 20.5 minutes were career lows, and he was booed by the home crowd as the sluggish performances multiplied.
Odom said that it was a mutual decision for him to step away from the team.
"I'm sorry that things didn't work out better for both of us," Odom told ESPN.com.

At a time when securities cops and small investors are demanding more accountability in the financial markets, Pennsylvania's state pension fund is following some other big institutions in hiring unregulated investment managers whose methods are deliberately obscure.
The $24 billion State Employees' Retirement System is moving billions from familiar, transparent, government-regulated stock-index funds to hedge funds, whose managers do not have to report what they do with clients' cash.

This book is offered as a review of wound healing "specifically written in an effort to reach the student as well as the practicing health professional." The editor is a dentist at the University of Alabama; the majority of the authors are from either the medical or dental schools of the University of Alabama and include physicians, doctors of philosophy, and dentists.
The type is clear and legible; the tables and charts are easy to read. The drawings and photographs are of high quality.
The book is theoretically designed to present wound healing as it naturally occurs (ie, in the usual chronological sequence). Thus, the book begins with such topics as hemostasis, platelet function, and coagulation; the text then proceeds to inflammation, protein synthesis, collagen synthesis, and epidermal healing. The basic organization is quite sound. However, the reasons for including portions of some chapters and other entire chapters are unclear.

Military Vet's Service Dog receives free microchip number 5,000 from Washoe County Regional Animal Services
|Barry Brode
Manager, Regional Animal Services
Office: (775) 328-2142
When the Sherrill Family of Sparks brought their rescued Labrador Mix Kyy into Washoe County Regional Animal Services for a dog license earlier today, they had no idea they would be setting a significant, and spectacular milestone for Animal Service's year-long campaign to provide free microchips for 5,000 Washoe County pets.
They were number 5,000.
"We had set 5,000 as our goal for the entire twelve-months," Washoe County Regional Animal Services Director Barry Brode said about the campaign which began at the end of January. "We reached it in half that time. The phenomenal response to this campaign shows that we live in a community that truly cares about our pets."
"This is a fantastic program," Thomas Sherrill said. Sherrill is a disabled U.S. Military Veteran who is using Kyy as service dog.
"My wife rescued Kyy and he is a valuable supporter for me," Sherrill said. "Kyy is awesome and so is this program. Keep up the good work."
Brode thanked Animal Services staff and volunteers from the Animal Rescue Team for their enthusiastic commitment to the campaign so far.
"The good news is that we still have six months to go," Brode said. "It's looking like we can potentially double our original goal and that is truly a good thing."
Free microchipping is available from the Regional Animal Services facility on Longley Lane between the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) through the end of January 2014.
For more information, visit WashoeAnimals.com.

Mickelson Rallies for Fourth Triumph at Pebble Beach
Phil Mickelson shot Sunday's low round, an 8-under 64, to win the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am by two strokes. The victory, the fourth in Mickelson's storied career in the event and his 40th overall, was worth $1.152 million and 500 FedEx Cup points.
Lefty's stellar final round included six birdies and an eagle - on the par-5 sixth hole - at Pebble Beach Golf Links. With a birdie on the par-5 18th, he ended up at 17-under 269, two shots clear of third-round leader Charlie Wi, who closed with a 72.
"It feels just amazing," Mickelson said at greenside. "To be able to play the way I did the last 18 holes really means a lot . . . It feels awesome and hopefully it's just one of a few to come this year because I'm starting to feel pretty good."
Mickelson, playing in the next-to-last group with long-time nemesis, Tiger Woods, played dominating golf, while Woods - seeking his first full-field victory on the PGA Tour since the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, suffered through a 3-over 75 that included only two birdies against five bogeys.
Woods needed only 27 putts en route to a 67 Saturday at Pebble Beach that took him into contention for the final round, but he took 31 strokes on the greens Sunday. "As good as I putted (Saturday), I putted just as bad today.
"I didn't hit it as bad as the score indicated," Woods added, "but I putted awful. I couldn't see my lines, couldn't get comfortable. I made a ton of mistakes on the greens.
"I was 1-under through six but Phil was 5-under through six. I thought I had to shoot 67, 66 today, and that wouldn't have been good enough. It was a fun day to be out there but very frustrating also."
Mickelson started the day six strokes behind Wi. His Sunday rally made it three straight weeks a player well back in the field overhauled the leader in the last round. In the Farmers Insurance Open two weeks ago, Brandt Snedeker overcame a seven-shot deficit to beat Kyle Stanley, and last week Stanley turned the tables, closing with a 6-under 65 at TPC Scottsdale to erase an eight-stroke margin and win the Phoenix Open.
Ricky Barnes posted a fine 67 to end up in solo third at 13-under 273, while a stroke back in fourth was Aussie Aaron Baddeley, who also shot 67. Kevin Na and two-time AT&T Pebble Beach champion Dustin Johnson both carded 70s to share fifth at 275.
After a 74 Saturday, defending champion D.A. Points carded a 6-over 78 to end up tying for last place with Stuart Appleby (76) at 3-over 289.
The pro-am portion of the event ended in a tie between Padraig Harrington and partner J.P. McManus and Brian Harman and Gregg Ontiveros at 35-under 251.

- 3 / 3 CHEMISTRY | Mondo Rock (E.McCusker)
Eric McCusker
Born in Dublin and raised on Sydney's Bronte Beach, Eric's first showbiz experience was doing live science experiments on television with his physicist father.
He started playing guitar whilst attending junior high in Ithaca, New York in 1966. On that same trip he also met Elvis Presley at a Luau in Honolulu.
Eric's first band while still at high school in Sydney, was with Renee Geyer. After school he travelled for a year in Europe then studied medicine for two years before joining the fledgling jazz course at the Sydney Conservatorium. He then played guitar with Ross Ryan, Stevie Wright, Jon English and Jeff St John before moving to Melbourne to join Captain Matchbox.
In 1980 Eric joined Mondo Rock whose first single, Eric's song "State of the Heart", became a gold selling hit, spending 27 weeks in the National top 40. This lead to the "Chemistry" album which went platinum and won Album of the Year and Songwriter of the Year for Eric.
Mondo Rock continued to hit for most of the 80's with Eric's songs such as "Summer of '81", "Chemistry" and "No Time", culminating in their biggest song "Come Said the Boy" which won the APRA award for Most Performed Song in 1984 and has become an Aussie classic.
Eric lives in Melbourne with Jenee and kids Mike and Molly. He has been a director of APRA for 20 years and plays guitar with Ross Wilson and occasionally with the re-formed Mondo Rock. Eric constantly writes and is involved in music education and music business advocacy. Over the last 5 years has been collaborating with Melbourne songwriter/musician/producer Jake Mason and together have written over 30 songs.
He is currently working on a new musical called Ava (At The End of the World)
