This is good example of the insidiousness of obamacare, they can quickly enact new rules or make stuff up at any time to counter any attack or close up any unintended loopholes.
The law is a couple thousand pages of massive powers granted in very vague, wide-open language. When they come up with a new "rule" they can say "page 2105, section 9, p2, it says that such and such will be determined by the secretary...blah blah blah." They can literally make *hit up and even if someone tries to fight it, they will lose after a long legal battle.
It should have been deemed unconstitutional on this fact alone! If a bill is so big that nobody including the supreme court will read the whole thing, how can anyone say without a doubt that its constitutional? We are ruled by stupid power mad people, they are no longer our servants.
It's a taaaaaaaaaaax!
Instead of requiring you to pay for X, which would be blatantly unconstitutional, they just tax you and buy X for you with the tax money. Clever ain't it.
I was a member of a flight attendant's union.
I cannot tell you how many times I personally heard - or heard happened to other flight attendants - when questioning something in our contract that was vague, "I know that is what it says but that is not what it means."
The ambiguousness is always quite intentional and will never be ruled in your favor.

Aron Kader headlines Comedy show for peace in Los Angeles April 10
By Ray Hanania
Prominent Palestinian standup comedian Aron Kader will headline an evening of Middle East comedy on Thursday April 10 at the Levantine Center in Los Angeles.
The show will be hosted by Sammy "KO" Obeid and will also feature performances by comedians Fahim Answar, Melissa Shoshahi, Josh Nasar and Omid Singh.
The Levantine Center features performances, speakers and conferences that promote tolerance and lectures
Levantine Cultural Center champions a greater understanding of the Middle East and North Africa by presenting artistic and educational programs that bridge political and religious divides. In a search for common ground, the Center fosters discussions among artists and thinkers and offers classes and workshops that serve diverse ethnic communities.
The Levantine Cultural Center includes majority and minority cultures, stretching from the historical Al-Andalus of southern Spain and Morocco to the Balkans, Greece, Turkey and across North Africa and the Middle East as far as Afghanistan and Pakistan. It includes the creative work of Arabs, Jews and other ethnic/religious groups with Mideast origins who are living in the West.
They have a special interest in addressing Palestinian and Israeli peace, noting on their website, "Many Israelis and Palestinians have come to the conclusion that there is simply no violent solution to the conflict, and that only a peaceful and just negotiated settlement will bring about change in the region. With them, Levantine Cultural Center supports only non-violent approaches to cross-cultural understanding. All of our programs emphasize the need for coexistence and taking shared responsibility."
The Levantine Center seeks to "give voice to issues and experiences of underrepresented Middle Eastern communities in order to bring informative and alternative information on these communities to the American public and media."
Laugh with six Middle Eastern American stand-up comedians at the Levantine Center enjoying humor and universal satire. Also, browse a silent art auction there of talented Arab/Middle Eastern artists and get great deals; and see your support go to the Levantine Cultural Center, the only nonprofit cultural arts center for the Middle East and North Africa in southern California that consistently presents voices of progress on the MENA.
Click here to get more information on each of the comedians: Aron M Kader. Sammy KO (Obeid), who recently became the first comedian ever to perform 1001 nights in a row. Fahim Anwar, Melissa Shoshahi and Omid Singh.
Kader is an American comedian of Palestinian and American descent. Kader was born into a Muslim and Mormon family. He spent his early years in Provo, Utah. His father, Omar Kader, was a professor of Political Science at Brigham Young University who went on to found a government contracting firm in Northern Virginia. His mother, Dr. Nancy Stowe Kader, a native of Ogden, Utah, is a bioethicist and management consultant with a nursing degree from BYU.
Tickets are available as follows: $50 VIP (includes a gift and best seats); $35 Preferred Seating; $25 General Admission. RSVPs are strongly advised as this show is expected to sell out. Silent art auction and cash bar.

Tiffen Ultra / Low Contrast filters
By Inazuma
Last night I was looking on Vimeo at GX7 videos to see what other people were producing. For the most part it all seemed very casual, not much good stuff in there. But then I came across this:
First of all you should know that I've been shooting with my GX7 for almost a year now and I've messed around with the camera settings and resultant footage loads. So I pretty much know GX7 footage when I see it. The video above looks completely different to anything I've seen previously.I remember a phrase Andrew used in one of his videos regarding the BMPCC, "The camera has a very filmic response to mid-tones". And I guess this is the only phrase I can use to quantify what makes this footage look different.
If you look at the tags on the video above you will see a mention of "Tiffen Ultra Contrast 5". So I did a little more research and it seems these things had their hayday a couple years ago around the time when the GH1/2 and Canon rebels were popular. These days some people still use them even for high end cameras like the RED.
Here is the description from Tiffen itself:
I quite like the look that diffuser filters give and it sounds like the Low Contrast filter will give some of that look along with the softened contrast. Does anyone here have any experience with these and can make recommendations?
A $40 variable ND filter that surprisingly doesn't suck
By Sangye Ince-Johannsen
I broke my L.C.W Fader Variable ND II a while back, and finally got around to replacing it. I decided to give the Bower variable ND a try, at $40. Bower makes decent lenses, so I thought I might luck out.
And luck out, I did. It's definitely better than the L.C.W, with less bokeh striation / "texture", no noticeable color shift up to the strongest setting, and the characteristic 'X' pattern only shows up at the very strongest settings (7/8+), as opposed to on the L.C.W where it dominates the image at every strength above 2/3 or so. I haven't tried many higher end variable ND filters, but I'd like to see how this one stacks up against them. So far I'm very impressed.
The only issue I have noticed is that the first 1/5 of the adjustment throw seems to go from a strong polarizing effect to a more transparent effect, without any ND loss or gain. After that the polarizing effect stays minimal, and the neutral density increases as expected. On the plus side, this quirk might mean that the filter could double as both a variable ND filter, and as a linear polarizer.
The bokeh texture / "striation" is my biggest complaint, but it's still not as coarse as the L.C.W Fader mk. II that I used to own.
The 'X' pattern also doesn't show up until a strength that I find myself unlikely ever to want to use anyway (e.g. T1.3, 1/50s, bright sunlight, ISO 1600).
Color shift is negligible. Sometimes green things seem to get an ever so slightly brownish cast, but it's so, so subtle.
Softening is also quite mild. In my testing it's not an issue, and if anything seems to be a subjective change rather than an objective softening. I have not used it on a lens longer than 85mm, though, so maybe it's worse on teles.
My verdict is that, for $40, this is should be an obvious choice for a budget VND. If I had more money of course I'd buy a Schneider, Singh-Ray, or Heliopan, but this performs like what I'd expect from a VND in the $150-$250 range.
I've attached one sample. For more, look here:
GH4 - crop factors - filters - Nikon and Voigtlander
By Nini
Hiya Guys!
I'm new to this forum and will try to be as clear as possible. :)
I'm about to buy new gear for videography pretty soon and have already chosen to go for the GH4,
that i will use with these lenses : Voigtlander Nokton MF 35mm f/1.4 (77mm with crop factor), Nikkor 35mm DX (56mm with speedbooster), Nikkor 50mm FX (80mm with sb) and a Nikkor 18-55mm DX (28,8-88mm with sb). I applied a 2,2 crop factor for Voigtlander lenses and 1,6 for the Nikon ones (DX and FX). Is this correct? I keep seeing different crop factors all over the internet. The main use will be documentary and travel videography, so I'm trying to get good and sharp gear easy to travel with as I'll be shooting alone or with only one person. I've read several threads on the eoshd forum, reviews... and still have a few questions concerning ND filters. It seems like I should get a variable ND filter with a 77 or 82mm diameter. The max budget for the filters (one VND or filter system) would be 300/400 US dollars tops. - would you recommend a VND filter rather than a filter-system + ND filters for my use? - my Nokton diameter is 43mm, do you know if a step up ring 43-82 mm or 43-77mm exists? I couldn't find one over the internet. - if you faced this problem, did you find a solution? - would I get vignetting on corners with wide lenses even with the crop factor? - Reviews seem to highlight the Heliopan and Tiffen VND, are there massive pros for one rather than the other? I'm sorry for this long post! One question always seems to lead to another one... Thank you very much to those who will read and answer me :) And a huge thank you to all other posts and people in the forum for the previous topics that helped me. Woooo!

This was a starter set of baking pans for my granddaughter who just moved into her first new place. She loved them and I knew she would I have a set I have had a few years and they are still in good shape.
This product is remarkable. It bakes my chicken, cake, pies and bread. It does it all and the clean up is easy. Soak for about 5 minutes and rub with the dishcloth. Dry it and put it away. WOW worth the price.
I like this product, use it often, especially when I bake muffins. They come out without any problems.
I just moved into my first place, so I needed to get EVERYTHING. These were perfect for just getting started. I've used them numerous times already and $20 bucks was just right for my tight budget. I would highly recommend!!
I have owned many baking set and after baking in them, they seem to stick but not with this set, they bake the first time every time. I love the way my food comes out and not stuck to the pan, nothings more frustrating than having your hard work ruined.I'm gonna purchase more sets to give for Christmas gifts. It makes me feel like I'm a pro at baking.
Nice medium quality items. Clean easily and non-stick. Great for the value!
Product was very good and durability. Will last me for a long time.
Excellent set. Must have.
It's easy to use clean and they don't stick that's what I like about them and they are so durable use them all the time
it's looks like as pictures, it's easy to clean, it cooks very well, and at a great price!
looks very good. I think it will be well liked by the person I am giving it to.
easy to use and easy to clean
Really good,

Armstrong, who appeared in the role in Broadway last fall and then reprised his role for the closing shows in March.
Tom Hanks' Playtone is adapting the musical for screen, making it the second musical adaption for the company following the blockbuster "Mamma Mia," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
No word on how filming will affect a new Green Day album. A few weeks ago, Armstrong tweeted that the group is penning a new set: "There's a ton of new songs," he says. "The direction is fresh and hi energy. Feels great."

As a number two hitter, Polanco is one of the best in the game at making contact and moving runners. Plus, he hits for a solid average himself. He's also a quality person in the clubhouse and has always been popular with both teammates and fans.
At issue though is whether Polanco will easily readjust to playing at third base. The last time that he played at third consistently in Philadelphia was when he was with the Phillies in 2005. Since then, he's primarily played at second base for Detroit.
Polanco signed a three-year, $18 million deal, which will give the Phillies some time to develop a potential replacement from their minor league system, which is sorely lacking in third base prospects at the moment.
The Phillies had been rumored to be pursuing a number of options for third base, including Adrian Beltre, Mark DeRosa and Chone Figgins. Reports are that they were stepping up their pursuit of Polanco prior to Tuesday when the Tigers declined to offer him arbitration, meaning that the Phillies won't lose their first round draft pick for signing him as a free agent.
"As a Gold Glove infielder, we're very confident that he will make a smooth transition back to third base," said Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. Polanco has won two of the last three Gold Gloves as a second baseman in the American League.
The Phillies also announced that the signing of utility infielder Juan Castro is also now official since he has passed his physical. In addition to Polanco and Castro, the Phillies also signed catcher Brian Schneider earlier in the week and have signed outfielder DeWayne Wise and infielder Wilson Valdez from outside the organization to minor league contracts for 2010. The Phillies have also re-signed Triple-A first baseman Andy Tracy, outfielder Rich Thompson and catcher Paul Hoover to minor league deals.

The 31st edition of Power 99-FM's Powerhouse 2013 Friday at the Wells Fargo Center was, as usual, an all-night affair (1 a.m.-ish) dedicated to the current state of radiocentric hip-hop and packed to the rafters. That's standard for Powerhouse, plus its long lineup, which this time found notorious lectro-crooner Chris Brown, rap's artiste du jour Kendrick Lamar, and Philly's Meek Mill atop its bill.
With those top-tier singer/MCs as headliners, strong support was necessary. Powerhouse 2013 featured openers that packed a punch, no doubt. Mario did his romantic rap thing for the ladies. K. Michelle was sassy in her appeal for empowerment. Ace Hood brought sex and violence in safe, small doses. Big Sean upped the ante on his soulful, sung-spoken hip-hop with a godly tilt and two drummers clacking their sticks as if leading a drum line.

They're the first group to enter Kelly Middle School under the Spanish immersion program.
School principal Wes Finn said this can be a bit tough in the early stages, but now that they've acquired the building the blocks the real fun can begin.
"In middle school, typically we start to see kids out perform their peers as their cognitive skills come up," said Wes Finn.
Finn said the program is designed to grow with them until they reach North Eugene High School.

- Monday Afternoon groups will start the fifth experiment at 13:00 on November 16.
- After final section changes, number of students who will attend to section 7 (friday morning group) is above our limit, which means there will be no available table (equipment) in case of any problem, especially for the practical midterm. We highly encourage two students to ask for a section change if they are registered to section 7 but their schedule enables any of sections 5,6 or 8.
- The final version of the section changes is available here. As announced earlier, you must attend the section assigned to you regardless of the section you are officially registered to.
- A thorough report guideline is available. As prospective engineers, you will always be expected to write well, either in academia or industry; so, instead of regarding all these rules and conventions as a burden, please try to improve yourself for presenting your ideas and/or results in a neat manner.

It is your right not to attend the introductory session if you are registered to Monday or Tuesday groups (Sections 1-2-3-4). However, we highly encourage you to attend the sections in other days this week since makeup would be meaningless for this introduction, which eases your first experiment and adaptation to the course.
- [UPDATED OCTOBER 13, 23:30] Section changes are announced for the applications before the deadline. Regardless of the sections you are officially registered to, you are required to attend the sections assigned to you. Further arrangements will be made for the late-applications; however, due to the limited capacity of laboratory equipments, there is no guarantee for proper section assignment for those who did not send necessary information even two days later the deadline. List will be updated October 13 (afternoon) and those who could not be placed to proper sections will be required to change the sections of other courses.
- Please check the weekly plan for this semester.
- If you have any clashes on your weekly schedule related to EE 213 course, send an e-mail to the course coordinator until October 8, 23:59. Please make sure that the title is "EE213 Section Change". Your e-mail should include your semester details: an appropriate screenshot of OIBS Program 61.0 that presents your name, ID and the courses you registered for this semester. You may indicate the name, ID and the section of the person whom you want to be partner with, although there is no guarantee that you will be assigned to the same section.

The G-Day game has been played and it's now time for the coaches to evaluate and make decisions when it comes to the depth chart.
The offense will virtually look the same as last year, but there will be some minor changes because of injuries and transfers.
The defense will have a different look from last year and that includes a "new" position which was created for a player who is expected to do big things this season.
The Bulldogs do have two more spring practices this week, but after a successful G-Day scrimmage, it's clear what the depth chart looks like moving forward.
Let's take a look.

I agree with another poster, that you can't say one manufacturer is better about it. Phones even varied by version, like when I had a Verizon Samsung Galaxy note 2, I still don't know anyone getting USB Audio without UARP from that specific model, that device really drove me nuts.
CM 11 = Android 4.4. It is still unofficial and you should keep that in mind. If you are already rooted and bootloader unlocked on your devices and want to experiment, go ahead, and while I've had no problems with CM11 on Nexus 5, I can't speak to other devices and for any device they are not technically stable, although I am finding them quite stable.
If you don't know what you are doing, I wouldn't suggest rooting/unlocking and slapping on these custom roms/kernels at this point. If you are in that boat, wait for official CM11.
So, if I told you I would give you an Android smartphone/tablet at random, and let you choose if you wanted one sold by Google or by Samsung, you see no difference as far as USB OTG support? I can't agree. Samsung seems to get it, their top selling S3 S3 Note2 Note 3 all support it OOTB. Google, their 2013 lineup of Nexus 7 and Nexus 5, nope, nada, zilch, nothing.
I do agree with your advice now about, wait several months on CM11. And frankly on the Notes CM may never get it to 100%. Maybe this is Google's secret master plan. Let CM do the USB OTG work, just make everyone wait...

How long can a person have Syphilis and not be aware of it?
Q: How long can a person have syphilis without knowing that they have it? Can a person have this disease for 20 years and not have any signs or symptoms of it? Can a person who does not have symptoms still spread this?
A: Syphilis is a long term disease if not treated. It is a sexually transmitted infection and usually will present with symptoms of primary syphilis ie presence of sores or chancres in the genital area. This if not treated can lead to secondary syphylis which wil present as a genralised rash on thebody especially over the palms and soles. This if not treated can either progress to latent syphilis ie the infection remains dormant in the body but one can still transmit the same or it may progress to tertiary syphilis which affects various parts of the body. Thus the initial presentation will be with symptoms. If you have engaged in high risk behaviour then it is highly advisable to get your self checked up for syphilis as there is treatment for the same. All the best.

Is it normal that new plants discard leaves? / Is it necessary to remove rock wool?
Is it correct that plants discard their leaves after the purchase and grow new ones?
this is indeed rather common. Quite a number of plants is grown emersed in the nurseries, i.e. with their leaves in the air (only the roots are in the water in this case). When switching to submersed (entirely under water) life, these plants discard their leaves and grow new ones. Do not throw away such plants, this is normal! Even some species that permanently live under water sometimes discard their leaves. However, this is much less common and takes place mainly if the water conditions considerably differ from the previous ones.
Do I really need at least 15 plants in my 112 liter aquarium?
The general rule, almost without exceptions, is: The more, the better, provided there is sufficient swimming space left for the fish. 15 plants in the aquarium can be quite a lot (e.g. if they are medium sized to large Echinodorus swordplants), but also very little (e.g. if they are Ludwigia stems or the like), the question can therefore not be answered precisely without knowing the species in question.
Do I have to remove the wool of a newly purchased potted plant, or can I leave it where it is?
The rock wool should be removed as completely as possible, a pair of tweezers may provide good help.

hi friends,
i have toshiba satellite c660 i5013.my problem is that the sound volume is too low while playing games like splintercell conviction and company of heroes.the sound isnt muffled its just that the volume is too low.
my sound volume is set to max and the game volume is also set to max.
please note i dont have the same problem while playing other games like age of empires 3 and stronghold.
also music files like mp3s run fine with no problems.
i checked my sound card from device manager it says high definition audio device.
when i checked the sound system from the toshiba site, it says my sound card is
intel high defintion audio 1.0
whats the problem?is it a driver issue ?
probably the driver i have currently is windows driver. i checked the driver from system information it says the driver is c:\windows\system32\drivers\hdaudio.sys
do i need to install new driver on my laptop.if thats the case then what sound driver should i install?
08-19-2011 08:41 PM - edited 08-19-2011 08:46 PM
Satellite C660-I5013 PSC1JG-00L00K Specifications
Yours would appear to be a Toshiba India model. Your specific model's part number is PSC1JG-00L00K. You do not mention which OS version you are running, like Windows 7 64bit. You can surf for the drivers for the Toshiba India Satellite C660 model, for your specific OS version above. However, it appears you bought the system without an OS, and have used a retail version of Windows.
i checked my sound card from device manager it says high definition audio device.
when i checked the sound system from the toshiba site, it says my sound card is
intel high defintion audio 1.0
The Toshiba India downloads site for the Satellite C660 only show Realtek sound drivers available. So, I highly doubt you have a Intel sound card.
You should only be using the Toshiba supplied hardware drivers and utilities. Regardless, you want to download and install the correct drivers for Part Number PSC1J*, for your specific OS version. You should install 1st the hardware drivers and hardware utilities, and then 2nd the Toshiba utilities and software in this order:
1st Hardware Drivers & Hardware Utilities
1) Intel Chipset Utility Driver
2) ATI Display Driver
3) Realtek Audio Driver
4) All other hardware drivers and hardware utilities
2nd Toshiba Utilities & Software
1) Toshiba Value Added Package (Windows 7-32/64 only)
2) Toshiba Flash Card Utility (Windows 7-32/64 only)
3) all other Toshiba utilities and software
1) Toshiba Hot-Key Utility (Windows XP only)
2) all other Toshiba utilities and software
Hopefully this will resolve your sound problems. But, Toshiba laptops seem to have set the maximum volume deliberately low to prevent built-in speaker damage.
Good luck.
thanks a lot bro i will try this out.
by the way i got windows 7 32 bit.
check this out this site it says that my c660 i5013 has got intel high definition audio.
.i have already installed the amd video driver,the synaptics touchpad driver,the lan and wireless lan driver and the bluetooth driver.
i am scared to install the realtek sound driver because if its the wrong driver i think it may screw my pc up
and then i will have to reinstall the os again and all the drivers again and lose my data.everything else seems to run fine other than this sound issue.
please help me.
well i just installed realtek audio driver and it didnt make much of a difference.however when i turned on loudness equalization i can hear in game music and youtube videos quite well,this seems to have done the trick.
thanks a lot for ur help bro.
Just happy to hear it seems to have worked out for you.
Good luck.

Family 411: Avoid identity theft at college; and get new kids book titles at Erie County Library
College students, newly removed from the safe confines of their parents' homes, could fall victim to identity thieves inside their very own residence halls.
Here are tips from www.protectmyID.com to keep students' info private:
1. Always keep the dorm room or apartment door locked, even when you're there. Most identity theft happens in mundane ways, such as a stolen wallet or purse.
2. Shred paid bills, and keep credit card and bank account statements stored in a safe, locked location.
3. Leave your Social Security card and birth certificate at home, with a parent. Carry with you only the identification that you might need on a daily basis, such as your driver's license and student ID card.
Did you know you can get a list of Erie County Library's new children's books delivered to your e-mail address? Visit www.erielibrary.org and go to the e-newsletter sign-up page. Check the boxes in front of the newsletters you would like to receive, enter your e-mail address in the space provided, then click "subscribe" at the bottom of the page.

Plethodon neomexicanus
Jemez Mountains Salamander
Subgenus: Hightonia
|family: Plethodontidae
subfamily: Plethodontinae
© 2012 Mark L. Watson (1 of 4)
Adults are brown with fine brassy-colored stippling dorsally (Stebbins 2003). Ventrally, the pigment is reduced to the extent that they almost appear transparent (Williams 1973).
Young Plethodon neomexicanus have faint gray or brassy dorsal stripes. Molecular data indicate that these salamanders are mostly closely related to Plethodon larselli , the Larch Mountain salamanders (Stebbins 2003).

Our 100% natural witch hazel astringent gently cleans and conditions without removing essential moisture. TN Dickinson's Witch Hazel Cleansing Pads effectively remove dirt, oil and impurities while soothing redness and irritation - leaving skin looking clean, unblemished and healthy.
Suggested Use
Wash face and body. Gently wipe skin with cleansing pad to remove remaining dirt, excess oil, soap film and residue. Use often to cleanse, soothe and refresh.
Close container tightly.
No animal testing
100% distilled witch hazel (containing natural grain alcohol 14%), aloe barbadensis leaf juice, sodium benzoate.
No denatured alcohol.
Witch hazel is good for the skin and these pads are convenient for removing makeup. But the pads are too saturated and small-it takes two to clean.
My new favorite- not as drying or harsh as tea tree pads. Perfect for a quick cleansing without drying out your skin or causing a break-out.
harsh & not good smell

These pads are easy to use, continent & stay moist inside the packaging. My only complaint is that they are a little rough on your skin. I've had to stop using on my face, as they are too scratchy (I have sensitive skin & don't use a facial exfoliator - others may not find this an issue). I have been using on my bikini area post waxing to prevent ingrowns, and they are doing a good job. As long as you don't mind the texture, a great product.

Show transcribed image text This problem tests your understanding of the DFT's frequency-domain axis. Consider sampling exactly two cycles of an analog x(t) cosine wave resulting in the 8-point x1(n) time sequence in Figure P3-21(a). The real part of the DFT of x1(n) is the sequence shown in Figure P3-21(b). Because X1(n) is exactly two cycles of a cosine sequence, the imaginary parts of X1(m) are all zero-valued samples, making |X1(m)| equal to the real part of X1(m). (Note that no leakage is apparent in |X1(m).) Think, now, of a new frequency-domain sequence X2(m) that is equal to X1(m) with eight zero-valued samples, the white squares in Figure P3-21(c) and P3-21(d), inserted in the center of the real and imaginary parts of X1(m). Draw the x2(n) time sequence that is the inverse DFT of X2(m). Comment on how the x2(n) time sequence is related to the original analog x(t) signal and the x1(n) sequence.

Stricker leaves Augusta frustrated again
Augusta, Ga. - Steve Stricker very badly wants to play well in the Masters. Sometimes, he winds up playing badly because of it.
"I've got a love-hate relationship with this place," Stricker said after shooting a final-round 75 and finishing in a tie for 47th place Sunday. "I want to be here, but when I get out there I lose my patience really quick.
"I want to play well here and I think that's part of the problem. I want to play well really badly. It's such a fine line between good shots that end up good and good shots that end up poor. You need to brush those off and I don't do a very good job of that here."
Stricker had another up-and-down round. He birdied Nos. 2 and 10 but made a double-bogey on the par-3 12th after hitting his tee shot into Rae's Creek and finished with three consecutive bogeys.
"I hit the ball fine all week long," he said. "I just could not get anything going. I had a lot of opportunities on the front nine today and turned in even par. I should have been 2- or 3-under.
"I didn't take advantage of holes and shots I had and then I gave away shots, too."
Stricker said he would next play in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, April 26-29, followed by the Players Championship, May 10-13. After that he'll attempt to defend his title at the Memorial, May 31-June 3.
Regressing:Tiger Woods failed to break par in all four rounds, finishing with a 74 that left him tied for 40th place. He had a 5-over 293 total, which matched the score he posted as a 20-year-old amateur in 1996.
The four-time Masters champion hasn't won a major championship since the 2008 U.S. Open and remains stuck at 14 majors, four behind Jack Nicklaus' record of 18.
"I didn't hit the ball very good this week and what's frustrating is I know what to do and just don't do it," Woods said. "I get out there and I don't trust it at all. I fall back into the same old (swing) patterns."
Woods said he was confident the changes he has made under swing coach Sean Foley would pay off.
"Oh, absolutely," he said. "I see how my ball-striking has been. Unfortunately, it wasn't (good) this week. Just need to go back and do more reps."
Just being honest:Sergio Garcia was asked if he meant what he said when he told Spanish journalists he wasn't good enough to win a major championship. He made the comments after shooting a 75 in the third round.
"Do you think I lie when I talk?" Garcia said.
Asked if he was just emotional after a bad day, Garcia said, "Everything I say, I say because I feel it. If I don't mean it, I couldn't stand here and lie like a lot of guys do. If I felt like I could win, I would do it."
Garcia shot a final-round 71 and tied for 12th place.
Learning experience:Luke Donald, ranked No. 1 in the world, has been perhaps the most consistent player in the game the last two years but is still without victory in a major championship.
He closed with a 68 and finished in a tie for 32nd.
"Obviously, I've got to work on being able to bring the game that I play at normal tournaments to the majors," he said. "I'm getting close each time. It just takes more and more experience.
"Regardless of (world) ranking, I should be contending. I feel like my game is good enough. Obviously, my game was good enough to get me to No. 1."
Batting .500:Keegan Bradley, who won the 2011 PGA Championship in his first-ever start in a major championship, tied for 27th in his first Masters.
"Augusta beat me up pretty bad," he said. "But I definitely think this is a course I can play well at."
Bradley finished with a birdie for a 69.
"I wanted to hit a good drive on 18," he said. "I kind of told myself, 'Just imagine you've got a one-shot lead here,' and I striped it. I needed that one, maybe, for years to come."
Reminded that he was now 1 for 2 in the majors Bradley said, "I'm still .500. I'll take .500."
Swan song:Kelly Kraft wanted to break par in the final round, but the reigning U.S. Amateur champion didn't come close, shooting an 80.
"My swing is not where it needs to be right now," he said. "It just feels kind of lost. Really, I had no idea where I was hitting it today."
It was Kraft's final round as an amateur. The Dallas resident plans to make his professional debut in two weeks at the Valero Texas Open.
Low amateur:Patrick Cantlay, 20, a sophomore at UCLA, finished as low amateur at 7-over 295.
He had quite a stretch on the back nine. Starting at No. 11, he went bogey, birdie, quadruple-bogey, double-bogey, eagle, birdie, birdie. It added up to an even-par 72.
"Obviously, it was an up-and-down round out there," said Cantlay, who lost to Kraft in the championship match at the 2011 U.S. Amateur at Erin Hills. "I had a bunch of highs and lows, but 72 is not too bad."
Chip shots: Stricker was on the 18th green when Louis Oosthuizen made a double-eagle a couple of hundred yards away on No. 2. Stricker said he'd made one double-eagle in his life, during a casual round at Cherokee Country Club in Madison.
Stewart Cink bounced back from his third-round 81 with a 69. "Yesterday was shameful and embarrassing," he said.

- - JDS would be favorite over Overeem, steroids or not (http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/106624-jds-would-favorite-over-overeem-steroids-not.html)
JDS would be favorite over Overeem, steroids or not
If and when the fight between JDS and Overeem happens, I see JDS being clearly the favorite.
Overeem may have been the K-1 grand prix winner, however they compete in MMA. JDS is training wrestling and BJJ with the Nogueiras and other Brazilians, and I believe he will have an advantage over Overeem in that despite the size and strenght advantage
In terms of striking, Overeem is not the best in K-1 even if he won the grand prix. JDS is considered the best striker in UFC by boxers like Klitschko and David Haye.
Going by the logic that JDS only uses his hands and kickboxing is better then boxing, then a top k-1 fighter like Mirko Cro Cop should have beat JDS by striking, but he got stopped.
Also note that Overeem has a suspect chin, and was rocked fighting in K-1 by people no bigger then JDS.
Just because JDS never competed in K-1, doesn't mean he's not a top striker that can't beat Overeem in MMA
Well that's a given, aside from Jones/Ruas the challenger is always the underdog.
Of the three fights Maynard was a favorite the first time, second time Edgar was the favorite, and Henderson was the underdog for the first fight.
Yeah and Cro Cop has a chance to win K1 this year, JDS would knock the the blocks off Overeem's roided chin.
No one's really gone after JDS legs, and Overeem has the ability and smarts to try.
I still agree though that JDS is the favourite if not only for the fact that he's the undefeated champion with a wake knockouts behind him in the UFC no less, but also that he would probably get the better of Overeem in a 5 round fight. Overeem has many accomplishments outside the UFC which are hard to qualify, and he has a more spotty record in his past.
Would love to see that match happen.
Just want to add that its not like JDS doesn't know how to throw a kick. He trains Muay Thai, he just chooses not use his other weapons that often, I imagine because his game is tight as it is now.
These guys are completely different strikers.
JDS - has excellent movement and is constantly shifting angles which makes it very difficult to land a solid strike on em w/o getting countered back. That is why Cain as I predicted had the right game plan in kicking his legs which decreases his power and mobility.
Power - 7.5
Speed - 8
Chin - not quite fully tested but I'd say 7/8 since he's made it this far.
Endurance - untested
MAIN WEAPON: Speed, agility, left hook, jab, and right overhand. Strong takedown and scrambles.
The Reem - slow, stands in the pocket and methodically hunts his opponent. I mean when was the last time you saw someone hunt Brock the entire fight. Brock charged Cain in the opening stanza. He knows how to use angles as well by shifting his shoulder and head rather than moving his entire body. Just watch em against Todd Duffee...he barely moved and immediately countered. That's a pro right there.
Power - 9
Speed - 5
Chin - 6
Endurance - K-1 (8) in MMA it's hard to tell because he's completely transformed from the LHW days. I'd give em the benefit of the doubt and say 6-7.
Main weapons: Left hook to the body, leg kick, liver kick, inside leg kicks, and UBER KNEE. Very strong takedown defense due to his abnormal strength.
I can really see a Condit vs Hardy moment where both land left hooks simultaneously.
I can't quite see who the clear winner is at the moment. But when they were slated to fight I said that The Reem would take it.
Overeem is one of the easiest stylistic matchups for JDS. Slow, weak chin, wilts under pressure. Mir was a scarier fight IMO.
I think Overeem has a great chance against Jds, I think he may shock alot of people. Overeem is a very smart fighter. I remember before the Brock fight how everyone was saying Overeem struggles against wrestlers, Overeem doesn't have a good take down defence, Overeem will lose, what happened there?. I think Overeem has the tools to stand with Jds, and sure Jds has alot of power, but so does the Reem.

Charities must be robust when they are campaigning, even when they are threatened with court action by the government, MP Wes Streeting said at an event at the Labour Party Conference this week.
ActionAid has distanced itself from a warning made by its director of programmes that NGOs are reluctant to stand up to the Department for International Development, stressing that it welcomes the commitment to aid made by the new Secretary of State.
Some parts of the charity sector are elitist, but this is partly because the rest of society is elitist, the director of Class said at a Labour Party Conference fringe event hosted by Acevo yesterday.
They need to look outside their own organisation and look at others who are doing similar work to see if they are doing it better or more efficiently. If they are, that doesn't mean they should immediately close or seek to merge but it does mean that something needs to change.

Mercyhurst's 'Happiness is Dance' has something for everyone
Jumping for joy and walking on air aren't just clever, old phrases.
When happiness takes over, it's hard not to express it physically. And when people see "Happiness is Dance," Friday through Saturday at Mercyhurst University's Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center, the feeling might even be contagious.
"Dance brings joy and happiness to all of us -- those in the audience and otherwise," said Tauna Hunter, dance director and an associate professor in the dance department at Mercyhurst University.
The dance department incorporated "happiness" -- the university's overall theme this year -- into its four major productions this season. The next, "Happiness is 'Tis the Season with Santa's Toy Shop," is set for Dec. 6 and 7.
This show will include more than 40 dancers and six dances -- three world premieres and three restaged works, including a piece, "Danse d'Enfants," choreographed by Hunter back in 1990.
"It's a little trio about children playing, and being happy and enjoying life," she said. "It will bring out the child in all of us."
Happiness through dance tends to mean grand, big and fast movement, said Jake Washabaugh, a freshman dance major at Mercyhurst who is taking part in two of the dance pieces. While all of the dances are different, they all manage to convey the same message, he said.
"Happiness is portrayed in different ways," he said. "I really like the idea of how one piece's idea of happiness is different from another."
The dances also vary in style, from acrobatic to contemporary to pointe.
"It's a very eclectic program," Hunter said. "If you don't like something, you only have to wait a few moments until it's something different."

EPA Rejects Texas Flexible Air-Quality Permit Authority
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday rejected air-quality permits for refiners and other industrial plants issued by Texas, saying they didn't meet federal environmental standards.
The federal agency proposed striking down the so-called flexible air permits issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, or TCEQ, last September, saying they violate the Clean Air Act. Under the act, all states have to develop a state implementation plan to meet federal requirements to protect public health. The move won't require oil refiners, chemical and plastics makers, and others to shut their plants immediately, but will force companies to meet stricter regulations in order to earn new, more detailed permits.
"EPA has determined that this program does not meet several national Clean Air Act requirements that help to assure the protection of health and the environment," the agency said in a press release Wednesday. "Those plans must include an air permitting program to set pollution levels for industrial facilities."
Flexible air permits aren't unique to Texas, but the state has a high concentration of emissions-intensive industries. The EPA is conducting a broad review of the state's air-permitting regulations on concerns over violations stretching back to the administration of George W. Bush. There are 121 facilities operating under flexible air permits in Texas, including some of the nation's largest oil refineries, owned by Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM -0.51 % , BP PLC and Valero Energy Corp. VLO -6.17 %
TCEQ Chairman Bryan W. Shaw said in a press release that the flexible-permit program complies with federal regulations and that "air quality could actually suffer" if the program is cut. The Texas Oil & Gas Association also criticized EPA's decision.
The state's flexible air-permit program, launched 16 years ago, caps emissions of air pollutants from an entire facility, but the EPA wants to scrutinize and restrict emissions from every polluting unit of a plant. Stricter rules are expected to add costs for companies holding flex permits and limit operational flexibility.
"I don't think anybody is going to shut down; it's just more of an environment-permitting nightmare," said Richard Alonso, counsel for Bracewell & Guiliani LLP, a law firm representing manufacturing, refining and electric utility companies.
Bill Day, a spokesman for Valero, which operates six out of seven of its Texas refineries under the flex permits, said the EPA's move was disappointing. These "facilities are caught in the middle, creating significant uncertainty at a time when our economy can least afford it," Mr. Day said in an email.
Jen Powis, senior regional representative for the Sierra Club, said that EPA's decision "is incredibly important" precisely because it affects almost all of the state's oil refineries, a major source of emissions. These sites can cover hundreds of acres and stricter monitoring requirements will make it easier to determine whether residents living near a plant property's border are exposed to high concentrations of toxins, she said.
To prevent disruptions at the affected facilities, the EPA said it will discuss with TCEQ and other groups how to convert the state's flexible permits into more detailed permits. EPA is asking affected facilities to participate in a voluntary compliance-audit program to speed up the process to identify emission limits and to set operating and reporting requirements.
Since October, the EPA has filed 39 objection letters to the TCEQ for flexible air permits. Just over a month ago, the agency said it would require privately held refiner Flint Hills Resources LP to apply for an EPA permit for its East Corpus Christi refinery, because the TCEQ flexible air permit it operates under violates the Clean Air Act.

Project Mia
It's been almost 2 years, and my site specific cut paper installation, HOVER, is still floating happily amid the gorgeous clothes at the Leon Max store in Westbourne Grove.
I think of my installations as puzzles that I both create and solve. Usually I cut every piece by hand, but HOVER is made of laser cut paper based on tracings of my existing paper pieces, which I had output in a range of sizes. The puzzle this time was how to use a limited number of shapes in a way that didn't feel repetitive.
My process is very spontaneous and intuitive. I don't make drawings or plans in advance, I just bring the paper pieces and start creating the installation based on my response to that particular space: the light, the traffic patterns, the mood. For this project, the architect had to install ceiling lights around my installation, which meant he had to wait until the last possible second, but he was extremely accommodating of my methodology!
Since then I finished UPLIFT, a giant public art project in Boston commissioned by Liberty Mutual for their new headquarters. Made of water jet cut steel and aluminium, UPLIFT appears to emerge from an outdoor plaza and rise through the building's windows to swirl around a two-story circular atrium. These days I'm working on SOAR, a public art project in New York City's subway system on the A train line. Like UPLIFT, this project also translates my hand cut paper shapes into another material, using the same methods for HOVER but output in steel instead of paper.
Of course with public art I can't just bring my paper pieces and get to work, everything is planned way in advance down to the smallest detail. It's been surprisingly easy though to go from making totally ephemeral works to permanent projects, because no matter the final material, I start by cutting paper in my studio and playing with it until I come up with the final form. Hopefully these permanent projects retain the spontaneity of HOVER and my other paper installations, in a material that lasts forever.

Pistorius vomits during graphic testimony
PRETORIA, South Africa -- Hunched over, vomiting into a bucket by his feet and retching loudly, Oscar Pistorius was vividly reminded at his murder trial Monday of the gruesome injuries he inflicted on his girlfriend when a pathologist described how the Olympian fatally shot her multiple times with bullets designed to cause maximum damage.
The testimony by Prof. Gert Saayman, who performed the autopsy on Reeva Steenkamp's body, was so graphic that it was not broadcast or reported live on social media by journalists under an order from Judge Thokozile Masipa.
Saayman methodically listed the extent of the three main gunshot wounds Steenkamp suffered on Valentine's Day in 2013 when she was shot by the double-amputee runner in the right side of the head, the right hip and the right arm through a toilet cubicle door.
The pathologist said Steenkamp, 29, was hit by special Black Talon bullets and that the head shot from Pistorius' 9 mm pistol was probably almost instantly fatal, causing brain damage and multiple fractures to her skull.
