WASHINGTON -- After getting the clutch two-out hit that gave him his first multi-RBI game in the majors, Brandon Watson was not done. He stretched the single into a double with a headfirst slide that barely beat the throw from right field.
He then rose to his knees and slapped his hands.
"Like, 'Let's play ball!"' he said. "We're winning the game. It's a big situation, and I'm going to be feeling good."
Watson showed Friday night that perhaps he really can hit on this level. A few days after earning a promotion based on a 43-game minor league hitting streak, Watson went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI to help the Washington Nationals beat the Cleveland Indians 4-1.
"Two big hits by the kid," Nationals manager Manny Acta said.
With his boyish face, slender frame and crouched extremely low in his new stance, Watson looked straight out of Little League instead of the Triple-A Columbus, but he sliced a fourth-inning single to left and pulled a sixth-inning double to right -- both with two outs and the pitcher on deck. It was his first multihit game since his major league debut in August 2005.
"It seems like a long time, huh?" Watson said. "It's been a while, but I'm back here. I'm fortunate to be in the lineup, so I'm going to play hard every day."
There were other firsts for the Nationals, who used seven pitchers to strike out 13 Indians and snap a three-game losing streak. Cristian Guzman's three hits included his first home run at RFK Stadium. Luis Ayala, making his first appearance since blowing out his elbow in the World Baseball Classic more than a year ago, induced a huge double play that kept Cleveland from scoring in the fifth.
And, for the first time that anyone could remember, a grounder found its way inside a fielder's jersey. Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman had to reach between his buttons to retrieve the ball on a bad-hop single off the bat of Franklin Gutierrez in the second inning.
"That's going to be a blooper highlight," Nationals starter Micah Bowie said. "I've never seen that before."
Washington's hurlers rebounded after getting clobbered nightly in a three-game sweep by Detroit, with Saul Rivera (2-2) throwing a perfect sixth inning to get the win and Chad Cordero pitching the ninth for his 12th save.
"You can't say enough about the bullpen," said Bowie, who lasted only 4 1/3 innings but has yet to have the Nationals lose when he starts. "Those guys come in and shut the door. That's a big lift for the team."
Fausto Carmona (8-3) took the loss, allowing three runs and 10 hits over six innings. For the most part, the Indians were befuddled by an array of unfamiliar pitchers in their first game in Washington since 1971.
"When you don't face the guys, it's hard to hit," Jhonny Peralta said. "I've never faced a couple of those guys. I don't know what they throw. It's hard to face so many different guys."
Watson was not a familiar face, either. He had not played well in his previous but brief stints in the majors, hitting .175 in 25 games in 2005 and .179 in 10 games last year. He was claimed on waivers by Cincinnati after his demotion to the minors in 2006, and he wasn't expected to make much of an impact with the Nationals after he rejoined their farm system this year.
But the 43-game hitting streak -- an International League record -- earned him a callup. He went 0-for-3 in his season debut Wednesday.
"I'm going to stay within myself this time and just put the ball in play and play hard," Watson said. "And whatever happens after that has to happen."
The Indians scored their only run on Peralta's RBI single off Bowie in the third. Bowie is 4-0 -- and the Nationals are 7-0 -- in his turn in the rotation since he was moved out of the bullpen because of injuries to several starters.
Bowie struck out seven, but he had thrown 104 pitches by the time he was removed in the fifth. Rivera, Ray King, Jesus Colome, Jon Rauch and Cordero shut out the Indians the rest of the way.
Zimmerman on his wardrobe malfunction: "I was more upset because I didn't get the guy out, but it was kind of funny. I don't know how it got in there, but it got in there somehow." ... Cleveland's Grady Sizemore was ruled out on fan interference when a spectator leaned over the railing and caught a foul ball in the fourth. LF Ryan Church had been in position to catch the ball. ... Cleveland's Ben Francisco made his first major league plate appearance, striking out as a pinch hitter in the ninth.

How to replace an Electrical Outlet
Here is video from the videopedia on how to do it the safe way- http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-replace-an-Electrical-Outlet-2852
Several points-
I do not rely on "touch testers". In this instance, a plug in tester would have shown that he had properly wired the new outlet.
Make sure connections are tight.
Make sure wires are wrapped clockwise. Tightening the screw will wrap the wire tighter around the screw.
Make sure the bare ground wire doesn't contact the side screws or any bare conductor on the white or black.
well... you are right
He didn't explain it perfect but you gotta hand it to him for making an explnation video.
Don't you?
63 Attachment(s)
Is that you in the video?
Do I sound too markety?
I just wished I saw more "how to videos".
I think it is easier to learn like that.
And for f***'s sake, quit saying "too easy". If you get it in your mind that it's "too easy", the only thing that will be "too easy" is killing yourself or burning your house down by not paying attention to the details.
I surely would not trust someone that makes a video and does not even understand the basics of wiring. Too Easy. I find receptacles miswired all the time and the HO said well it was easy.... I think that he must have made this video as a parody! It is there house to burn down though!

Yesterday mom and dad took my brother and I to a doggie trick-or-treat. I had so many cookies, bones, treats, toys, etc. Mikey did too, but he couldn't eat fast enough so I kept on eating what he dropped. Ha ha...I'm such a stinker. We didn't wear costumes (we hate that), but a whole bunch of people still told us we were very cute. We came home with two whole bagfuls of stuff!!!
Hurray for Bulldogs week on Dogster!! Mom says she's going to take me out to pick out some new toys later.
My mom and dad bought a house 2 months ago. We are all going to move into it for good the beginning of next month. I'm really nervous. Mom took 3 weeks off of work, starting July 30th. I can't wait because that means she'll be home with me most of the days. I'm going to be even more spoiled than normal! I'm a little nervous about moving though. I've lived at grandma's house my whole life and now I'll be moving to a new place and dad will be there too. Mom and dad are getting married August 4th. Then I'll be by myself at grandma's while they are on their honeymoon. But when they get back, mom has another whole week just to spend w/ me and making sure I aclimate to the new place. My new house is already covered in toys!! Dad put a fence up so I can run around the backyard. I'll miss grandma, but I'm really excited to live with dad too.

|Ayn Rand - advocate of radical individualism and capitalism {American Values}
Rational Nation USA
Birthplace of Independent Conservatism
Liberty -vs- Tyranny
The left, AKA Harvard University pinheads, have discovered that the Fourth {4th} of July favors Republicans and that Democrats gain no political advantage. Not even given many Dem candidates march in July 4th parades.
From US News POLITICS
Democratic political candidates can skip this weekend's July 4th parades. A new Harvard University study finds that July 4th parades energize only Republicans, turn kids into Republicans, and help to boost the GOP turnout of adults on Election Day.
"Fourth of July celebrations in the United States shape the nation's political landscape by forming beliefs and increasing participation, primarily in favor of the Republican Party," said the report from Harvard. [See political cartoons about the 2012 GOP field.]
"The political right has been more successful in appropriating American patriotism and its symbols during the 20th century. Survey evidence also confirms that Republicans consider themselves more patriotic than Democrats. According to this interpretation, there is a political congruence between the patriotism promoted on Fourth of July and the values associated with the Republican party. Fourth of July celebrations in Republican dominated counties may thus be more politically biased events that socialize children into Republicans," write Harvard Kennedy School Assistant Professor David Yanagizawa-Drott and Bocconi University Assistant Professor Andreas Madestam. [Enjoy political cartoons about President Obama.]
Their findings also suggest that Democrats gain nothing from July 4th parades, likely a shocking result for all the Democratic politicians who march in them. [Check out editorial cartoons about the Democrats.]
"There is no evidence of an increased likelihood of identifying as a Democrat, indicating that Fourth of July shifts preferences to the right rather than increasing political polarization," the two wrote.
The three key findings of those attending July 4th celebrations:
When done before the age of 18, it increases the likelihood of a youth identifying as a Republican by at least 2 percent.
It raises the likelihood that parade watchers will vote for a Republican candidate by 4 percent.
It boosts the likelihood a reveler will vote by about 1 percent and increases the chances they'll make a political contribution by 3 percent.
What's more, the impact isn't fleeting. "Surprisingly, the estimates show that the impact on political preferences is permanent, with no evidence of the effects depreciating as individuals become older,"said the Harvard report.
Finally, the report suggests that if people are looking for a super-patriotic July 4th, though should head to Republican towns. "Republican adults celebrate Fourth of July more intensively in the first place."
My first question is... did taxpayer dollars fund this useless bit of information?
My initial reaction was... no surprise as the democratic mantra is more closely aligned with the anti individual, pro statist socialist philosophy than that of liberty, individualism, capitalism and independence. In other words the values on which our nation was founded and ultimately prospered.

how can space change your weight in space
space doesn't change your weight.
weight is just a measure of the force attracting you to a planet or moon or other body. If you are in space, you are farther from the earth, so it exerts less force on you. Hence, you weigh less.
Actually, your weight is only felt if there is something (like a floor or a spaceship wall, or a rope) keeping you from moving toward the planet. So, if you are in a rocket blasting off, you feel more weight.If you are on a diving jet, you fell less or no weight, because there's nothing keeping you from falling toward the earth.

RIM investors fear more bad news on QNX
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO (Reuters) - Research In Motion has already doled out a big helping of bad news ahead of its financial results on Thursday, but surprises could still await investors hungry for details about what many see as a new, make-or-break BlackBerry.
Investors are desperate to know whether RIM will stand by its current timetable to switch its smartphones to the new QNX operating system by early next year. The transition is considered the Canadian company's last, best chance to reverse its declining fortunes.
RIM acknowledged two weeks ago it would take a hit on unsold PlayBook tablets and ship fewer smartphones in the current quarter than in the third quarter just ended. That pushed its stock to lows not seen since 2004, and perhaps set a floor for expectations.
"Most of the news is on the tape," said analyst Colin Gillis from BGC Partners, referring to an already-depressed share price, which has fallen 10 percent since the December 2 profit warning and is now down more than 75 percent in the past year.
"The worry with this company is there's more bad news."
RIM has had its fair share this year, including a massive network outage, botched and delayed product launches and a precipitous fall in its share of the U.S. smartphone market as Apple and Google fight for supremacy.
Gillis said he will have a close look at RIM's balance sheet and cash flow this quarter to judge whether the company has the resources to survive the impeding transition to QNX, an unpolished version of which already powers the poor-selling PlayBook.
RIM made its name with secure, reliable communications for the world's business and government elites before branching out into what is now a crowded consumer market. Continued...

Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum blasted President Obama's view of America, contrasting the Democrat with Ronald Reagan's oft-repeated idea of a shining city.
"The president ... doesn't believe America is exceptional," Santorum told the Conservative Political Action Conference. "I can tell you that Ronald Reagan, who saw America as the shining city on the hill ... he believed in American exceptionalism."
Santorum, one of several Republicans thinking of challenging Obama in 2012, often fought Democrats on abortion, marriage and other social issues during his 16 years in Congress.
He urged attendees not to throw away their emphasis on three issues -- fiscal policy, national defense and social issues such as abortion -- that conservatives believe are their foundation.
"When you start throwing away the third leg of a three-legged stool, it is not going to be stable very long," he said.
Santorum's view of the importance of social issues to conservatives stands in contrast to a potential rival for the GOP presidential nomination: Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels. The former budget director for President George W. Bush recently said the next president "would have to call a truce on the so-called social issues" and let plans to fix the economy take center stage.
More than 11,000 people are attending CPAC, which ends Saturday when results of a presidential straw poll are announced. You can read our coverage of speeches by Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and former House speaker Newt Gingrich in On Politics.

text: Until now I have never worn a belt because I never felt the need for additional support. However, now that I regularly do deadlifts with 600+ lbs I think it's time to start worrying about my back and I want something that provides extra support. I bought a belt a few years ago but I never used it because it was so stiff and bulky that it never felt right and it was too hard to put on and take off (I think it was a 4" double prong and it felt like the only way to get a snug fit was to pull it so tight that I literally couldn't breathe anymore). So if there is a trade off between maximum support and comfort, I would rather have a more comfortable belt that does not require a lot of effort to break it in and isn't too wide in the front. What those things in mind, which belt would you recommend?

In the wake of a scathing report that accuses the management at the Missoula Wastewater Treatment Plant of serious environmental, health and safety violations—including frequent systems failures, improper maintenance, the falsification of documents and other mismanagement—officials from the plant, the City of Missoula and the Missoula Health Department have released documents of their own that either refute or deny most of those charges, while acknowledging that some problems have already been addressed or warrant further investigation.
Those documents, prepared by Environmental Health Supervisor Peter Nielsen, Plant Supervisor Starr Sullivan, Chief Administrative Officer Janet Stevens, Public Works Director Bruce Bender and others, address point by point the allegations in the original report or "white paper." That white paper, entitled "Fouling Our Nest: Gross Negligence at the Missoula Wastewater Treatment Plant," was written anonymously by several current and former plant employees and issued by a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization known as Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER).
City documents challenge the white paper's assertions that a sewage bypass—the discharge into the Clark Fork River of wastewater that has been treated only once instead of twice—amounts to a permit violation under Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) regulations. The City insists that bypasses must be reported to the DEQ only if effluent discharge limits have been exceeded. Furthermore, the city points out that most communities along the Clark Fork River, such as Drummond, Superior and Thompson Falls, only perform single (or primary) wastewater treatment, and regularly discharge that wastewater into the river.
City documents also say that it is "mistaken information" that its staff installed illegal backflow prevention devices, which are designed to prevent sewage from contaminating the plant's drinking water supply. The City says that its devices conform to the Uniform Plumbing Code, offer the highest degree of protection and have been installed safely in other places around the city, including at the Missoula County Fairgrounds.
The Health Department's Nielsen does acknowledge, however, that the close proximity of a drinking water well to an injection well poses a problem that needs addressing. In a phone interview with the plant supervisor, Sullivan admits that this problem was an oversight on his part, but says the problem was corrected the week after the white paper was released. He refutes the allegation, however, that the plant's potable water supply was ever compromised.
In response to charges that the City's Sewage Treatment Effluent Pumping (STEP) program is faulty and "more leak prone than leak proof," the City responded by saying, "The recently adopted Missoula Wastewater Facilities Plan Update 1999 has limited the usage of STEP sewer to the current service areas. There are no further installation of STEP systems beyond the current installed service areas."
Sullivan also responded to allegations that his staff uses irregular or illegal methods for monitoring chlorine levels, arguing that the methodology outlined in the white paper was a 10-year-old draft that was never implemented.
Sullivan further answered charges that the plant's mismanagement of methane gas has led to dangerous workplace conditions and frequent methane discharges into the environment, saying those claims are "inaccurate and outright false."
"Don't get me wrong," Sullivan said in a phone interview. "We've made some mistakes in the past and we'll make some in the future, but we always try to correct those as they're brought to our attention."
Although city policy precludes Sullivan and other city officials from publicly discussing personnel matters, Sullivan did say that he believes most of the allegations in the report stem from personnel conflicts with certain disgruntled employees, who have contributed to "a stressful work environment."
Such claims are not uncommon following the release of a white paper, says PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch. According to Ruch, PEER has helped public employees write 30 other white papers across the nation since 1992, which are often received with official hostility, denials and personal attacks on the employees' credibility.
Since this is PEER's first white paper released in Montana, and the charges it contains, including "gross negligence," are very serious and have potentially criminal implications, the Independent inquired into PEER's own track record on its other white papers. We discovered that:
• PEER released a white paper in Florida called "Dereliction of Duty" which profiled one district office of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. That report triggered a grand jury investigation that confirmed the white paper's allegations and resulted in two Florida legislators going to jail for income tax evasion.
• A Connecticut white paper called "A Friend in High Places" revealed that Gov. John Rowland's top political operative had been placed in Connecticut's Department of Environmental Protection as a "fixer" on environmental enforcement matters and was having closed-door meetings with violators. That white paper resulted in the resignation of several top officials in the Rowland administration.
• A report on the Bureau of Land Management's wild horse program called "Horses to Slaughter" documented how the BLM was complicit in letting its wild horse adoption program be used for the illegal trafficking of wild horses to slaughterhouses. That program has since been revamped.
Although such a track record does not speak directly to the veracity of the allegations made about the Missoula wastewater treatment plant, it does lend an air of credibility to the people who helped prepare that report.
"We're not sewage specialists," says Ruch. "We're there to help the employees, if you will, lubricate the system."
"Most of the staff out here, we always thought we were just here to clean up the water," says Sullivan. "This kind of thing is really beyond most of us and we don't understand where it's coming from. We just want to get back to our jobs."

Caption: Phil Fontaine, leader of Canada's Assembly of First Nations, had an audience with Pope Benedict XVI April 29, 2009.
Canonizations are joyous, with a gracious spirit abounding toward all, and a determined effort to ignore any discordant notes.
I recall, for example, at the beatification Mass for Cardinal John Henry Newman, my surprise at seeing Bishop Remi De Roo, the retired bishop of Victoria, sitting not a few paces away from Pope Benedict XVI. Bishop De Roo had been keeping a determinedly low profile since leaving his diocese plagued by financial scandal, so it was a surprise to see him at all.
Yet there he was, ebullient at Cardinal Newman's beatification, taking the great cardinal as inspiration for his own theological vision. The Holy Father, for his part, was inspired enough by Cardinal Newman that he departed from his usual practice and conducted the beatification himself.
Between Benedict XVI and Bishop De Roo there is a vast difference as to the proper interpretation of the Second Vatican Council and other theological matters, and the former would be astonished that the latter would claim Newman for his positions. But it was a beatification, the saints belong to the whole Church, and so the gracious thing to do was not to notice the incongruity of it all.
It is inevitable that new saints are used for partisan purposes by various factions in the Church. Sometimes the Holy See attempts to forestall the attempt to use the saints in this fashion, as for example when Pope John XXIII and Pope Pius IX were beatified on the same day, or when Pope John Paul II and Pope Pius XII were declared venerable on the same day.
The canonization of Kateri Tekakwitha Oct. 21 was characterized, wittingly or not, in such factional terms by Phil Fontaine, the former national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, who was present in Rome for the canonization.
Fontaine had been in Rome in 2009, accompanied by Canadian bishops, to receive an apology for the treatment of native children in residential schools, so he speaks with some authority on relations between native peoples and the Catholic Church. However what he said in Rome cannot go unremarked.
The canonization "makes it possible, very much possible, to bring our community, the First Nations, very much closer with the Catholic Church. There was rupture for too long," he told Catholic News Service.
"The canonization makes it possible to share our daughter with the universal Church," he continued. "If you link the two events (the 2009 visit and the canonization), it is all about imparting reconciliation. It is an opportunity for us to say, 'We accept your apology, we forgive, and so now let us begin taking the important steps of healing and reconciliation.'"
Healing and reconciliation need to be rooted in truth, and what Fontaine said is not rooted in the truth of Kateri's life. Kateri's choice to be baptized and to practise her Catholic faith meant that her own people persecuted her, so much that she left her native village in present-day upstate New York and moved to the Christian mission near Montreal, where she died at age 24.
As to whether she belongs to her native tribe or the universal Church, the answer is that she belongs to both. But if she was forced to choose, it is clear that Kateri would have chosen her faith. In fact, that is what she did, at considerable cost.
More objectionable is Fontaine's treatment of the canonization as a sort of super-apology, as if the Church gave native Canadians a saint to compensate them for their suffering. That would make Kateri an instrument of factional jockeying rather than a model of holiness.
Moreover, it neglects the fact that in the complex history of the Church and native peoples, Kateri is an example of native persecution of Christians, not the other way around.
"St. Kateri was persecuted for the faith she held so tenaciously," Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in his statement. The prime minister did not mention who persecuted her.
Good manners today mean that we don't mention the aboriginal peoples who made martyrs - sometimes brutally so - of Christians, but an objection must be made when Kateri is advanced as an occasion of "accepting" an apology from the Church. The truth of history is exactly the opposite.
Fontaine was a discordant voice in his remarks to Catholic News Service. Most voices, aboriginal and otherwise, did not see this as the latest instalment of an ongoing conflict between natives and the Church, but a blessing for both.
It was, and St. Kateri may well obtain from God the gift of reconciliation for the First Nations, but reconciliation requires first that the truth be told.
Father Raymond J. de Souza is the pastor of Sacred Heart of Mary parish on Wolfe Island, and chaplain of Newman House Queen's University in Kingston, Ont.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler nailed it as the hosts of this year's Golden Globes Awards, so would Tina ever consider hosting the Oscars?
Unfortunately, the "30 Rock" creator says it's not in the cards.
PLAY IT NOW: Tina Fey & Paul Rudd Talk New Comedy Admission
"I just feel like that gig is so hard," she told The Huffington Post, when asked if it's a possibility that she (either with or without Amy) would host the Academy Awards. "Especially for, like, a woman -- the amount of months that would be spent trying on dresses alone ... no way."

"I wish I could tell you there was," she said.

Donald Knuth and Dessert: A Heretic
I claim we eat dessert after dinner — separating high-sugar foods from other foods — so that we are more likely to get sugar near bedtime. We need sugar near bedtime to sleep well, I suspect. Donald Knuth, the computer scientist, seems to disagree:
Donald Knuth came on time [to dinner at a Stanford dorm] and started his dinner with dessert. Only after he finished the cake he proceeded to the salad. He explained that order of courses by not being consistent.
Perhaps he's been reading Taleb, who stresses the value of randomness. I would have been more impressed had he eaten the cake at the same time as the rest of the meal.


text: What is Genetics?Genetics is the study of how traits such as hair color, eye color, and risks for health problems are inherited or passed from parents to their children.Cancers develop due to changes, called mutations, in genes. Only a small number of cancers are from inherited mutations that are passed down in families. Most cancers are from acquired mutations. Acquired means that the mutations happen at the cellular level after birth.This can be the result of:Environmental exposures, such as radiationLifestyle behaviors, such as smoking, eating poorly, or not exercisingChance aloneAcquired changes happen only in the tissue that is affected by cancer. For example, colon cancer cells. Acquired changes are not passed down to children. Mutations in a person's DNA build up over time. If mutations affect genes that control cell growth, it may cause a cell to grow out of control. It then becomes a cancer cell.Therefore, all cancers are genetic. This means that the cancer develops because of a build-up of mutations in genes. But most are not inherited. The number of cancers that comes from a single inherited factor varies depending on the type of tumor. For the more common cancer types, like breast and colon cancer, less than 10% are inherited. The Human Genome Project is an international scientific research project that began in 1990. The project's goal of mapping the location of all the genes on a cell's chromosomes was completed in 2003. The analysis of these data will continue for years. It will give scientists the building blocks to determine how diseases, such as cancer, are caused. It will also hopefully, tell scientists how they can be treated and prevented. Health Encyclopedia A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Search Health Library

problem: Water on wood floor during refinishing
3 Attachment(s)
I have a contractor working for me refinishing a wood floor. It has been sanded and was about to be tinted when an incident occurred overnight. Someone came in and spilled liquid (water or beer, I can't determine which) on the floor. That was 4 days ago. Pictures of the affected area of the floor are attached.
The contractor says that in order to continue work on it within four days from now, commercial fans, dehumidification, and tenting will be needed to get all the moisture out of the wood (this, according to him, is required before the wood is finished). Right now he says the boards have a 60% moisture content. He recommends I spend $600 for the drying equipment. I don't want to spend $600. He also wants $750 more to re-prepare the four-foot by eight-foot area for finishing. That cost seems out of line to me.
My questions are these: How can I know when the wood is dry enough to proceed? How would the refinished floor look if we proceeded with the re-sanding today? How does the contractor know the moisture content in the wood?
Moisture is checked with a moisture meter.
IMO, he's trying to put the screws to you. Go to the local rental store & rent a carpet dryer or 2 & let them blow over the floor for a day or 2. Dry wood will return to a dry state in short order.
$750 to reprep that area? I know he's trying to put the screws to you. Fire his ass & call someone else, or take over the project yourself. I'll be glad to walk you through the rest of the process if you decide to go that route.
seems OUTRAGEOUS!. put some fans and a dehudifier for a day. sand and proceed.
this may seem crazy to some But I often damp mop my floors between sanding. THe moistures raises the grain. then I fine sand and get a nice smooth floor.
stain and Poly as usual. BTW I always use oil base Poly. It takes longer to dry and stinks But We feel it hold up better than water based poly.
Here's some pics of the floors at my house. and yes I mopped and wet the floors before the final sanding
good luck

June 21, 2013
On Friday, former Tennessee men's golfer Garrick Porteous advanced to the finals of the British Amateur Championship.
The British Am is being played in Deal, England at the Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club. The championship is conducted by match play settings. A few golfers at this week's British Am have described the competition as "a battle".
Porteous (@gaz_porteous) will take on Finland native and University of Texas golfer Toni Hakula for the British Am Championship. The two golfers will face off on Saturday, June 22 at 8:30 a.m. The winner of Saturday's 36-hole championship match will receive an automatic spot in next month's British Open, as well as invitations to the 2014 Masters and 2014 U.S. Open. Porteous will be looking to become the first Englishman to win the British Am since Gary Wolstenholme in 2003.
"Every one of us here at Tennessee is extremely proud of what Garrick has achieved," Tennessee head coach Jim Kelson said. "Garrick's achievement at the British Am is a testament to all of the hard work he has put in over the years."
Porteous' path to the British Am finals was rightfully earned. The former Vol had to defeat Castlerock's Aaron Kearney (3&2), Corhampton's Neil Raymond (2&1) in the quarter final, and incoming Stanford freshman Jim Liu (19th hole) in the semi final.
Saturday's championship match play can be followed HERE as live stats will be updated with each hole.

Brown v. Board of Education and Equal Protection
Black History Month promotes learning about and reflecting upon civil rights issues, including the landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education. The US Supreme Court decided this case on May 17, 1954, and overturned another landmark case, Plessy v. Ferguson. The Court held that segregation practices denied students equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment.
- In education, the Brown case decided separate could not be equal
- Education fell within civil rights protections
- Be sure to check Lawyers.com's new app for iPhones
- Copy this link to share with friends: http://bit.ly/fUHAqX
Case Background
This landmark case consolidated class action cases from four states: Kansas, South Carolina, Virginia and Delaware. The plaintiffs were students, and shared the common legal issue of seeking court help to obtain admission to public schools regardless of their race. The facts and conditions varied in each case, but all students claimed segregation policies deprived them of equal protection rights.
In three of the cases, a three-judge panel for the US District Court ruled against the students based on the "separate but equal" doctrine of Plessy v. Ferguson. In the Delaware case, the Supreme Court of Delaware ruled that students were to be admitted to superior white schools.
The issues of equal protection rights as applied to education were important, and the US Supreme Court accepted the cases for review.
The Court's Decision
The Court ruled that segregation in public schools based on race alone deprived students in the minority group of equal education opportunities. In the 50 years since the decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, courts had not decided whether the doctrine of separate but equal applied in education. The Court found that since the 1800's, education had become one of the most important functions of state and local government. Where the state provided education, it had to do so on equal terms.
The Court took into account the intangible impacts of segregation. Equality in "tangible" factors, such as physical facilities, faculty and curricula did not matter. Separate couldn't be equal. When students were separated based on race, minorities were in effect rendered inferior. The impact of the sense of inferiority could limit the benefits students could ever hope to gain from their public education. Some benefits were only possible in an integrated school system.
Putting Brown in Action
In a case known as "Brown II," the Court addressed how desegregation would take place. Segregation problems were local in nature, and demanded local solutions. The Court ordered that the district courts would retain authority over the cases as school districts worked to reach full compliance.
The Court directed the school districts and the district courts to take action with "all deliberate speed," and in good faith to implement desegregation. Some critics argued that these directions allowed some states and school districts to delay integration. For example, school systems were shut down in some states, funds were given to private segregated schools or integration included only a few students, and wasn't meaningful.
Finally, in the late 1970's, a case known as "Brown III" challenged open enrollment policies of Topeka Public Schools. One of the plaintiffs in Brown III, Linda Brown Smith, was a plaintiff in the first Brown case, and was now a parent with children enrolled in Topeka schools. By 1999, the school district eliminated remaining segregation and reached "unified status."
Education is a basic government function, and it's protected by your constitutional rights.

As mentioned by others, the biggest lesson from last year's SoC (both for us and also mirrored by a number of other projects) is that the best projects are things which can easily be integrated into an existing body of code. And being clear that part of the SoC objective is getting the code integrated is pretty important, too. Jeremy
