"Ganbatte!," shouted the blond-haired rookie.
Ayako Okamoto, playing in her first American tournament, was head-to-head against Sally Little in the final round of golf at the Arizona Copper Classic. Patti Rizzo, who was out of contention, cheered her new friend on to her first victory on foreign soil. Rizzo had a cousin who was half-Korean and she was in her first year herself, so she wanted this new girl to know she was welcome in America.
Rizzo and Okamoto traveled together to the next tournament in Phoenix, where there was a herd of Japanese media. Rizzo, convinced her friend was fresh meat like herself, was confused. Okamoto laughed at the rookie's ignorance and explained that she was already a superstar golfer. She had won eight tournaments and had topped the money list in Japan the year before. The youngster was shocked, but the friendship grew from there.
Rizzo played nine years in the LPGA alongside Okamoto. Eventually, she would join her friend in the offseason and finish the Japanese LPGA tour. In 1992, she lived in Japan and played a full tour. The Japanese people, greater golf fans than Americans, loved the on-field rivalry between the friends.
"Okamoto and I would be like head-to-head a lot of tournaments so for the fans, this was really fun to watch because they knew we were best friends and now they knew that on the course we're like rivals," Rizzo reflected.
Rizzo even had Japanese sponsors, most notably Tokyo Dome, the equivalent of Sun Life Stadium in Miami.
"They had like 12-foot posters of me in the Subways and the McDonald's."
Rizzo ended up winning nine events in Japan. The people loved her and accepted her as their own.
"When I would win a tournament, I could give my speech in Japanese which the Japanese people just thought was like awesome that this gaijin, an American could give her speech in Japanese and thank the sponsor in Japanese. So Japan was really where I tell people I was a superstar," Rizzo smiled.
She was born and raised in Southern Florida and attended the University of Miami for three years before turning professional. Her golden hair and sun-kissed skin prove she belongs nowhere else but the Sunshine State. She has toured all over the world, including her stay in Japan and has lived in France, where her late husband is from. For now, she finds herself back home as the head coach for the Hurricanes women's golf team.
Rizzo had no intentions of becoming a coach. After retiring from the LPGA in 2004, she was playing at a local fundraiser. Somebody asked what she was going to do with her life. She didn't know, and somebody shouted the suggestion of coaching.
"I started laughing and I go, 'Coaching? I don't know anything about coaching! I don't know anything about teenage girls,'" said Rizzo.
Soon after, the athletic director at Barry University contacted her. He offered her the head coaching position and a chance to get her college degree. She would have loved to get her degree from Miami, but she took the deal.
"All I was thinking was, 'Oh, I can go back to school and get my degree free.' And I thought, 'Maybe this is a path to another career because what am I going to do now?' So I figured I'll give it a try. And of course they're going, 'Oh, you just have to be a few hours with the girls on the golf course.' I'm thinking, 'Oh, ok.' How little was that lie!" laughed Rizzo.
She spent six years with Barry and was very successful. The Buccaneers had 47 top-five finishes and three tournament victories. Despite this, she always had her heart on the green and orange.
"The whole time I was at Barry I just had in my head that I wanted to get the Miami job. Once I finished my degree, I was like just waiting for the previous coach to retire and I just kept telling myself, 'I'm gonna get that job, I'm gonna get that job.' I kept waiting and then when I finally got it, I was thrilled. I was like as happy as Blake is now," Rizzo described. She ran into Blake James' office as soon as she heard he officially became athletic director in February because she knew he had the same excitement as her.
Rizzo takes a motherly approach to coaching. Her assistant, John Koskinen, came with her from Barry to Miami. He is the disciplinarian and she is the encourager.
"When I got the job here, I thought, 'Man, I need to bring John because he's OCD about everything and I'm not so we will make a perfect team.'"
Rizzo described how Koskinen hands out the discipline for wearing the wrong uniform to practice and he supervises the punishment, making sure the girls finish their sets of lunges or whatever is assigned. Golf is a very self-disciplined sport, which makes the coaches' job easy. Any offenses are very minor.
"Basically, she's so chill. The reason I came here is because of her," said Rika Park, a sophomore on the team.
Park is from Japan and was attracted to Rizzo's laid-back personality and her ability to relate to her culture. When Park is struggling on the course, Rizzo will comfort her by saying things like "Cheer up" in Japanese.
Leticia Ras-Anderica also came to Miami because of the coaches. Both Ras-Anderica and Park aspire to be professional golfers just like their coach. Rizzo takes her role as mentor very seriously. She is completely honest with her girls about their chances to make it professional.
"She was a great player when she was on tour and so she's got a lot of experience of what it was like. She's always telling us 'Do this. Do that,'" explained Ras-Anderica.
The team is a family within itself. There are only seven girls on the team and they don't just play together, they eat and go to the movies just like any group of friends.
Rizzo has two children of her own and they are her pride and joy. She married Jacques Depardon in 1994 and they had two children before he passed away in 2000.
"I've pretty much raised them by myself, not pretty much, I have," stated Rizzo.
Her son, Severiano, lovingly called "Sevi," is 17 and is considering joining the military. Rizzo's father was a colonel in the Army and she thinks her son has what it takes to follow in his footsteps. He will probably attend Miami-Dade College for one year and then apply to transfer to Miami.
Her daughter, Gabriela, is 15 and is the complete opposite of her mother. She is a cheerleader and loves everything girly. Rizzo described herself as a tomboy growing up. She is very proud that her daughter is "very anti-drugs, alcohol, smoking. She's like so headstrong."
It is hard for Rizzo being a single parent. It is evident that she grows weary at times. Her friend Lori Nelson played basketball for Miami when Rizzo was on the golf team. When Rizzo travels, she sometimes leaves the kids with Nelson. Other times, Rizzo leaves the kids home alone and trusts that they will be responsible. Her kids aren't perfect, but she knows they are typical teenagers.
"I'm very proud of them. They're both achievers and they're both leaders. The kids follow them around, they don't follow the kids around," she beamed.
Rizzo said that raising her kids is her greatest accomplishment in life. However, she does feel pride in her golf success. She is a member of the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame. She was the 1982 Rookie of the Year in the LPGA. She won over $1 million in her career. Her final goal is to hoist one more trophy, the NCAA championship for Division I women's golf.
"That's about my ultimate goal and then I will have completed a full circle and I can look back and have everything to be proud of," said Rizzo.
Sitting in her office surrounded by blown-up pictures of herself swinging a driver or crouching to gauge a putt, Rizzo clutches her silver cross necklace.
"I've had a lot of blessings in my life and I don't think that's accidental," she reflected. "If you do your best to understand what your purpose is you'll be much happier in this world and my purpose is to give back to young people and to make all these girls become better people, better golfers, smarter and go on into their own world and to realize what their purpose is in life."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – After defeating New Mexico just once in program history prior to the 2012 season, the Northern Arizona women's tennis knocked off the Lobos for the second consecutive year on Saturday, 5-2. The win was the Lumberjacks' second of the weekend as they improved to 2-4 on the season.
"Our girls outcompeted that team, they played great today," said director of tennis Kim Bruno. "They're a better coached team this year and they fight. But we edged them out and that just shows how tough our girls are."
The Lumberjacks jumped on the home team from the onset, sweeping doubles play. Seniors Ghizelene Doballah and Nicole Perez got NAU's winning ways going with an 8-2 victory at No. 2 before sophomores Hannah Stone and Johanna Vang clinched the doubles point with their 8-6 win at No. 1. Seniors Alice Pacaut and Malia Wahinepio completed the sweep with their win at No. 3, ensuring the Lumberjacks' first doubles sweep of the season.
After the Lobos knotted the score at 1-1 behind Michaela Bezdickova's straight-set victory over Stone at No. 1, the Lumberjacks rattled off three consecutive victories to seal up their second win of their weekend stay in Albuquerque. Wahinepio quickly knocked off Katie Wookey, 6-1, 6-2, at No. 4 to give NAU the lead it would not relinquish, with Perez and Vang following with wins of their own. The two teams would split the final two matches with Pacaut moving her record to a team-best 4-2 at No. 5 to wrap up the match.
Vang and Pacaut each won their third consecutive singles match.
"The doubles was key for us today," Bruno said. "At one point, it could've gone either way, but our No. 2's stepped up and they gave us the momentum to win the other two matches at No. 1 and 3. That carried into singles and they took care of business."
The Lumberjacks aim for a sweep of the weekend when they play Pacific on Sunday. Play will begin at 9 a.m. at UNM's Linda Estes Tennis Complex. Like the Lumberjacks, the Tigers have already defeated UTEP and New Mexico this weekend and is 5-2 on the season.
1. Hannah Stone/Johanna Vang (NAU) def. Michaela Bezdickova/Laura Richardson (UNM), 8-6*
2. Ghizelene Doballah/Nicole Perez (NAU) def. Nikolina Grbac/Michaela Oldani (UNM), 8-2

US Week in Review - Week ending 27 September 2012
The US Week in Review highlights this week's developments and emerging issues in the financial reporting world and gives you direct access to relevant technical accounting guidance and thought leadership produced by Ernst & Young.
Ernst & Young publications
2012 SEC Comments and Trends publication
Every year, we track the SEC staff's comments on public company filings to provide you with insights on the staff's areas of focus. Understanding the issues discussed in our 2012 SEC Comments and Trends publication can help as you head into the year-end reporting season.
While the SEC staff continues to comment on topics such as significant estimates, revenue recognition, impairment and financial instruments, it has increased its focus on areas such as pro forma financial information and the presentation of guarantor condensed consolidating information. The staff also continues to focus on segment reporting, loss contingency disclosures, the effects on liquidity of indefinitely reinvesting foreign earnings and exposure to European debt.
Our publication discusses matters that relate to all registrants, as well as matters that relate to specific industries and foreign private issuers. It also includes a section on best practices when responding to comment letters from the SEC staff.
Comment letter on liquidity risk and interest rate risk disclosures
In our comment letter on the FASB's proposal to require all entities to provide disclosures about their exposures to liquidity risk and interest rate risk, we explain why we do not support finalizing the proposal in its current form. We believe that many of the proposed disclosures are redundant given current SEC reporting requirements. Additionally, we believe that nonpublic and not-for-profit entities should be exempted from the proposed update because we don't believe the incremental benefits outweigh the costs of compliance.
Standard Setter updates

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
EDGAR accepting confidential draft registration statements on 1 October

The new system will allow emerging growth companies and eligible foreign private issuers to electronically file previously submitted draft registration statements instead of including them as exhibits to their first publicly filed registration statements.
Instructions and Frequently Asked Questions are available on the SEC's website.
Suggestions solicited for this year's Forum on Small Business Capital Formation
The SEC is requesting public comment for agenda topics for its annual Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation on 15 November 2012 at the SEC's headquarters in Washington, DC. The forum will focus on the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act and issues not covered by the act.

Hey guys need some help with spacers heres what im picking up on thursday
18X9.75 5x100 et 20 all around
And was thinking front tire
Rear tires
And i drive a 4 door golf mk4 raceland ultimos coils are all the way down might cut rear bumper stop to make it lower im looking to tuck wit a bit of poke what spacers do u guys think i should run for the front and what is your opinion about tire?
Thanks in advance
you'll probably want 225/40 all around. stay away from 35 series
why would you run a 225/f and a 215/r?
the 40 would be more ideal for 9.75 unless thats the look you going for.....
depending on the suspension, height, et, etc will alter things around. you should fit the wheel on first then go from there.

Here is the deal, i am going on air soon and i hate my current fitment. Front has way to much poke compared to rear.

|| Please don't PM me with offset questions, post in THIS THREAD instead ||
Static Jetta 23"f/23.5"r ftg
ET 20f/30r
Thinking about 205/45 f and 215/45 r Achilles? Not sure about spacers, I'm on 18x8.5/9.5 ET23/30 on 215f/225r FK452s atm, and I don't really want to rub the rears like now...
Hey guys, I'm running:
18x8.0 5x100 ET42 VIP RG-1's all around
lowered 1.5" front and rear
Want to sit flush all around
Don't have to fender roll with the small 1.5" drop right? Thanks!
I need new rear tires,
Right now im running 225/40/18 512's but I dont think I will be going with 512's this time around.
If I go with another tire should I go with something 215/40/18? or another 225/40/18? I'm guessing the stretch will be a little less on a tire that's not a 512.
I found an ns-II on tyrestretch.com in a 215/40/18 and liked the stretch. Any other tires to recommend?
Thanks for looking
Wanted to know if i would be fine with theses wheels im looking to buy. mkiv with coils. spacer recommendation for a little poke maybe?
The specs are 18x8.0 et 43 18x9.5 et 49
So right now i have my winter wheel/tire setup on my MKIV Gti. (16" Montreal II's 205/55 tires) with 12mm spacers in the front only because without them my tires would rub the struts. I'm sitting on FK Streetlines. My fronts are around 3.5" from the ground. Im looking at these TSW Nurburgring's. They're 17" by 8 width. The offsets are 35mm or 45mm. I'm unsure of which offset i should choose as i dont really want poke, but i also dont want them deep in the wheel well either. Tire size 205/45 too? If someone could give me some insight that would be awesome, thanks.
go with the et35 on with that tire size you have in mind, unless you aren't that low, then I'd go with a 215
What size adapter & tires would I run on saw blades? Mk4 r32
Front 17x8.5
Rear 17x9.5
Not sure about et?
Ride height is 24.5 from wheel fender to the floor.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
18x7.5 all 4 et45 what size of spacer run on rear maybe 20mm??
Hey guys, I'm running:
18x8.0 5x100 ET42 VIP RG-1's all around

Aggie Senator to Propose Concealed Handguns on College Campuses
Printable View
FYI I'm the bald student in the video...
The student in the video says he doesn't think they should allow guns in the midst of students...what does he think BG's do?
Hey Matt...nice calm presentation...:congrats:
Hopefully this may cause a nationwide breakthrough, just like CCW took off back in the mid 90's.:comeandgetsome::hand10:
Yes, good job on the calm presentation. :yup:
I'd love to see it happen.
Well presented Matt, hopefully things work out for you and all the other law abiding students in TX.
Well done, Matt...
Nicely done Matt. Well spoken, well dressed, you projected a great face of the CCW holder. Calm, cool, rational. Very well done.
I know I would feel better knowing that there are students who carry and would be able to fight back in a VA Tech type of situation.
You know, it amazes me that these pin heads like the man in the video who just doesn't see why anyone would need to or want to carry on a campus (never mind the fact that the worst mass shooting has happened on a college campus :rolleyes:) won't see the reality of the world we live in.
And, since the cowards that carry out these mass shootings like the nut at VA Tech almost always turn their weapon on themselves as soon as they no longer just have unarmed victims to slaughter. When the police show up or someone they thought was a sheep is armed and fights back, they kill themselves. So I would think that students carrying concealed would be a HUGE deterrent to future mass shootings.
Very Well Done! A positive, quality presentation.
I'm with TN Mike, I don't see how those opposed can keep thier anti position after such acts like VT, and knowing the facts.........
Well done Matt.
The other student in the video, he is destined to be one of those who can not think past the tip of his nose. Like all the other grass-eaters, reaction to events is all they are capable of. They can not grasp the fact that an individual intent on doing harm is going to do it, regardless if they have a permit (gods forbid) or not. A rule or a law is not going to stop them.
Very well done Matt.
It's like he said, when you use it. Allowing concealed carry on campus will not change when you can use the handgun. The opposing student really wants it not accessible. As soon as that student leaves campus he is exposing himself to people that have concealed weapons. Isn't there a buffer zone (1000ft) around the school for no firearms? That would include Northgate if so. When I was there in the 80's we never had any shootings or issues with weapons that I recall.
For CHL holders it is okay to keep your weapon inside your vehicle (in a school zone), but one cannot carry it on their person on campus. So, is it okay for students that live on campus to keep their weapons in their cars if they are licensed?
I am always amazed at how people think; just because they can't handle stress or a situation that everyone else is the same...great job Matt...:35:
Best of luck on the new bill! It would be a major break through.

(opening remarks) "I thought we came out with great intensity on both ends of the floor. I thought both teams did. On the defensive end, we generated a lot of opportunities for our offense. We got some really good looks, but we didn't shoot the ball as well as we needed to. Our post game broke down defensively. I told our team, 'It's like there's five pieces to the puzzle. We'd get good ball pressure and good wing play, but we didn't deny the post. We went to our match-up zone, and (Monique) Currie brings the ball right down the middle, and we didn't pick her up. We've got to cover the basketball. Our defense let us down. We'll learn from this. Our guard play gave us good defense, but if you look at the numbers, we didn't shoot the ball well."
(on Tennessee's continuing offensive woes, shooting 28.0 percent) "I can't say that I've ever been in a situation like this for an extended period of time. Loree Moore was 0-for-8. She was 0-for-6 the last game. 'Is she getting looks?' I think she is. Maybe it has become a mind game. Maybe she's rushing. We'll put her in game situations in practice. (Shanna) Zolman was pressing. I told her that she's got to relax. She's too good not to be knocking down her shots."
(on Jessica Foley impacting the momentum of the game) "Foley reeled off eight straight shots. That was a key. Momentum switched at that point."
(on Shyra Ely playing 40 minutes) "Ely played a lot of minutes. I liked the way she played. She was aggressive, played with poise inside, and made some big shots. It was a TV game, so there were a lot of timeouts to get rest."
(on the play of Alexis Hornbuckle) "Alexis brings a lot of energy. She generates a lot of positive things. She's always around the ball. She needs to settle down offensively. She's found that the tempo at this level is different. She makes a lot of good things happen."
(on the tempo of the game) "They got us out our zone. We didn't match up. They got good looks. Give Duke credit. They made more big plays than we did."
(on the play of Duke's Alison Bales) "Alison plays with a lot of composure. She's such a good passer from either the low post or the high post. She spreads the defense out. Their post game and our post game are light years apart. We have to find a post game if we're serious about winning games."
(on shooting woes) "Shanna and I are go-to players. We have to continue to shoot. It's frustrating. Maybe I've got to follow through more."
(on what Tennessee can take out of this game) "You can take something out of every game. We had a lot of energy coming out. We played hard. Late in the game, we let it slip away. We had defensive lapses. We have to play every possession. We can't take a possession off."
(on defensive breakdown late in the game) "We were confused whether we were in our matchup-zone or our man. That was our fault. We didn't communicate. That's a learning experience. Every possession is a learning experience. It hurts right now, but it will prepare us for March. We've got 10 days off (before the next game) to improve."
Duke Head Coach Gail Goestenkors
(on the Duke inside game) "Our post did an exceptional job. We always try to get it inside, we need to do that to be successful. We have made a firm commitment to going inside, and tonight I think we played extremely well in spurts."
(on the game) "It was a battle out on the floor today. Every possession was a war. Each shot was hard fought. I am very proud of our team. I thought we were aggressive on both ends of the floor. Tennessee did a great job on defense, and so did we. Going into this game, I knew it was going to be a low-scoring game. I think both teams are struggling to find their offense."
Monique Currie
(on scoring down the stretch) "We were in a good position when the score was close. We were looking to move the ball around and get an open look and I kept getting open."
(on the open lay up she had in the closing seconds) "I think Tennessee was confused on their defensive matchups. I stepped backwards because it kind of caught me off guard on how open the lane was. I just drove down the middle and put it in."

IndependenceHigh Students Synthesize Polymers
On November 1, 2013 Independence High School students inMrs. Kimberly Boast's class performed a polymer synthesis experiment with thehelp of D'Andreas Williams, a research associate from Pennington BiomedicalResearch Center and LSU Department of Chemistry. First, Ms. Williamsdemonstrated how to prepare polyurethane foam. She mixed two liquids, polyesterpolyol and diisocyanate, resulting in a polycondensation reaction that yieldedlarge-volume foam which later solidified into solid polyurethane foam. Polyurethane foam is found in many products such as mattress pads andautomobile seats.
This demonstration was followed by preparation of "sillyputty," another polymer that uses the same chemistry as the formation ofpolyurethane. Students performed the experiment using Elmer's Glue, Borax watersolution, and food coloring. Students learned about how the Borax water causesa chemical reaction between the glue molecules (polyvinylacetate) and the boraxin order to produce a highly flexible, cross-linked polymer known as "sillyputty." Students learned that polymers are formed like links in a chain; eachmolecule forms a chemical bond with another molecule and that molecule forms abond with another molecule and this linking continues to create the polymer. Tobetter help students understand the concept, Ms. Williams had students standand link arms to simulate the linking of chemical bonds in the polymersynthesis.

If your family will need to depend on financial aid to attend college, your best bet is to find a school that will offer an excellent financial aid package to your child.
A great way to assess the generosity of any school is to look at the percentage of financial need it typically meets for its students.

What you'll notice about the above list is that the schools are highly selective. Many of these schools can provide 100% of need because they are wealthier with bigger endowments than their peers, but also because the majority of students who attend these schools are typically high income. With the wealthy children paying the sticker price or getting a modest merit scholarship, this generates more money for financial aid.
How Percentage of Need Met Works…
Let's say the financial aid formula says your family can afford to pay $15,000 for one year of college. (That's represented by your Expected Family Contribution.) Your child is lucky and gets into a $50,000 school that promises to meet 100% of its students' financial need. That means the school will provide $35,000 in aid.
Schools will look for outside help first to build that $35,000 package. If the child qualifies for the federal Pell Grant for low-income students and an applicable state grant, that will be put into the package first. Nearly all schools also put in a federal Stafford Loan, which for freshman is $5,500. After that the school would kick in its own institutional money.
In this case, let's assume the child doesn't qualify for any state of federal grants at a school that meets 100% of need.
$50,000 Cost of Attendance
Minus $15,000 Expected Family Contribution
Aid $35,000
After the Stafford Loan is subtracted, the family would get nearly $30,000 in grants/scholarships (free money) to attend this school. Some of the most elite schools won't put in a Stafford Loan.
In contrast, the majority of schools in this country would "gap" a child. A school might provide $10,000 or $15,000 or $20,000 or even $0 dollars to meet this child's need.
Bottom Line:
If your family will need significant financial aid, it's important that your child be the best student possible so that he or she will be more likely to qualify for the caliber of schools that are generous.

As Le Tour approaches rapidly, memories of Tours past come to the fore, and riders who may have gone unnoticed for the remainder of the racing season are once again lauded for their performances on the biggest stage there is. We know them as the Evanescent Riders.
In 1993, one such rider was the Colombian climber Álvaro Mejía. '93 was also the year that former ER90's subject Zenon Jaskula made his mark, then just as promptly disappeared. In fact, '93 could probably be recognised as the greatest Tour for such fleeting performances, as it was at the height of jet-fueling in the peloton. Even Tony Rominger made a 'miraculous recovery from hay fever' that year, aided and abetted by the good Dr Ferrari's Magic Climbing Potion (No. 5). And always there, hanging on like a limpet in the mountains, was Senór Mejía, resplendent in his Specialized foam-dome helmet, often in arm warmers, no matter how hot the day, or how hot the heat being applied by Mig, Rominger, Cappucino et al. Just there, not really doing anything. I don't recall him attacking once, but I don't recall him getting dropped either.
To be fair, MejÃa wasn't a total flash in the pan, as he'd won the Tour's Young Rider category in '91, so the little guy had some talent. Add to this wins in the Ruta du Sud and Vuelta a Murcia, and we see that he could go uphill over several stages pretty well. He even managed to get into the final selection at the Worlds in Stuttgart in '91, but not surprisingly was blown away in the sprint by Bugno, Big Mig and Steven Rooks. The way he bridged across to them after being gapped on the final climb was pretty impressive for a lightweight climber though…
Being on the Motorola team after they merged with Colombian outfit Postobon at the start of the season really shot Álvaro into the spotlight. I'm only speculating here, but I'd guess he was on the '93 Tour roster to support Andy Hampsten in the hills. Yet by the time they hit the Champs Elyssees, Mejía had outshone his team leader to end up 4th on GC. Not that Andy would've minded, being the stand-up guy that he is, and he speaks very highly of Mejía in this excellent interview on Cycling Inquisition. (He also explains Mejía's habit of over-dressing.)
Like any true Evanescent, Mejía didn't back up his biggest result in the following year's Tour, finishing outside the top 30, and only managed a 16th in '95. He didn't get close to the front in the mountains, and retired at the end of the season, returning to Colombia to become a Doctor, and had a stint as team medico for the Movistar team (as far as I can make out from the little information available on the googlewebs). Maybe he was inspired to further his medical knowledge after his time in the thick of the EPO era. Whatever the case, Álvaro Mejía spent time mixing it up with the biggest names in the sport, and no-one can take that away from him.
Salud Álvaro!

The House of Representatives on Oct. 4 passed legislation to keep the federal government operational through Nov. 18, providing lawmakers more time to negotiate on the fiscal year 2012 budget. President Barack Obama signed the bill several hours later, putting an end to the latest risk of a government shutdown.
The stopgap spending bill was approved in a 352-66 vote that lasted approximately 10 minutes. The Senate on Sept. 26 passed the continuing resolution that would provide enough funds to maintain government operations through the first couple of weeks of the new fiscal year. The House then passed a shorter-term version of the measure during a pro forma session Sept. 29.
While the passage averts a shutdown in fiscal 2011, the threat isn't over for the calendar year. Partisan differences in Congress have brought the country to the brink of a government shutdown three times so far this year, and the biggest battle – over the fiscal 2012 spending bill – is yet to come.
Democrats and Republicans have in recent weeks been butting heads over funds for disaster relief needed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The disagreement was about whether some aid for victims of natural disasters should have been offset by cuts elsewhere.

Wrong!! Those 66 representatives that opposed it need to be supported. This endless adding to the deficit needs to stop.
All of these incompetent bureaucrats from Obama on down need to go. The electorate needs to make a statement that we will not tolerate these pompous idiots who are destroying our country and each and every citizens' standard of living by their actions and inactions. This lack of competent leadership in this country cannot be allowed to continue.
Oh Lord, here we go again with threats to shut down the government. Those ready to retire should do so immediately before anything happens to the funds.
I hope the media across the country names the 66 that did not go along so that voters will remember to run them out on election in 2012. They just can't manage to do right by the people. In the deficit showdown contingency funds had been built in to cover disaster costs. However, this crew just had to twist themselves into the ground along with the country desiring offsets. Talk about un-American and lacking compassion! Those 66 need to go!

Alright all,
Who's been lucky enough to get out around the SE marshes this week? I would imagine Mon and Tues would have found you seeing some northern birds trying to stay ahead of this week's clipper.
I have been out to Vernon and Teresa SWA's a few times eariler this season and besides some good early wood duck action, the duck numbers have been a bit shy. Finally we get the cold snap every duck hunter dreams of and what do you have to show for it?

HB 181 -- An act authorizing a waiver for active duty military service personnel of continuing education requirements for renewal of occupational licenses. This bill is important one for deployed service members who hold a professional license. The bill provides a waiver so that an active duty member does not lose his or her license just because continuing education classes are not readily available during deployment. I co-sponsored this bill, which was signed into law on June 30, 2005
HB 201 -- The purpose of this bill was to permit a person who has a power of attorney for an individual who is on active duty with the United States Military outside the State of Alaska to sign and file a permanent fund dividend application on behalf of such individual. Some Alaskans serving in combat zones like Iraq were not getting their permanent fund dividend checks because they were unable to sign their applications. It just makes sense to allow someone who has a Power of Attorney to sign for people in this special situation and not deprive military personnel of their rightful dividends. I supported this bill, which was signed into law on July 15, 2005.
SB 209 -This bill permitted military personnel under the age of 21 to enter VFW type clubs. I supported Senate Bill 209 because I think it is ridiculous that a member of our armed forces who is under 21 can not attend a meeting or a function at a veterans club like the VFW because such a club is licensed to serve alcohol. Mind you this bill did not allow for under-aged drinking, just entry into patriotic clubs. I was happy to support this bill which was signed into law on June 15, 2006.
HB 285 -- Relating to an optional exemption from municipal property taxes for residences of widows and widowers of certain members of the armed forces of the United States. This bill was drafted to help the spouses of fallen soldiers by way of allowing municipal property tax exemptions for widows and widowers. For those who paid the ultimate sacrifice such as Sergeant Irving Hernandez, Jr for whom this bill was named it was the least we could do to help the ones they loved. I was proud to have been a co-sponsor of this bill, which was signed into law on June 13, 2008.

I really don't have much music news. I just was really excited to see that Morrissey is going on a North American tour beginning April 27. The tour starts in Stockton, CA because everyone knows Morrissey plays real well in Stockton. I guess the theory is that if he sucks real bad that no one will notice there and then he can cancel. Shows are also planned for Madison Square Garden and The Hollywood Bowl.
If you are going to be in LA tonight or tomorrow, then I encourage you to stop by Largo and see Glen Phillips of Toad The Wet Sprocket fame in concert. Glen and the guys in Toad literally paid for about 10% of my tuition and expenses in law school by playing 3 shows a year for 3 years for me and I am eternally grateful to him. He keeps asking for 10% of my earnings in return, but instead I thought I would just plug his shows and hope you can stop by. Ask him to play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and tell him to put on some damn shoes too.
The videos are a Glen Phillips song, and a Toad song.

World's most expensive phone will cost you a cool $3.15 million
It must be a tough life having a few million dollars burning a hole in your pocket that you just need to spend without reason. Enter the world's most expensive phone, a $3.15 million dollar iPhone 3GS Supreme Rose by Stuart Hughes. What does all that cash buy you? How about a platinum bezel with 130 individual .75ct flawless diamonds, as well as the solid 18K rose gold casing that houses the iPhone 3GS. This one takes the top shelf over the previous iPhone 3GS Supreme, which is now valued at $3.12 million and has a solid 22K gold casing and 136 diamonds.

There is no phone in this world, whether it be iPhone, Droid etc or on Verizon or AT&T or whoever else, that's worth that much money. I mean that in a material sense, I see the phone is literally worth that much. $3.15 million and I bet that sucker can still drop a call! I mean, what if you lost it? I'd crawl under a rock. And since you can't take the battery out, what if you needed it serviced? What about 4G? After spending that much money on a phone I bet you wouldn't want to upgrade. All I can say, if I had that phone it had better do every little thing I ask it to do, and do it perfectly. But in reality, I'd keep the money and retire.

You're problem is that you are looking at the purchase of this phone like a rational person. People who can afford and consider buying this dont' have the same concept of money like we do. To them, it's almost like Monopoly money. $1000, or $1 million for a phone. Either way, they have so much cash it won't affect them any. These are the same folks who get million dollar studded dog collars, some fugly designer dress, etc. etc. Also the need to have the most expensive this, the most expensive that and one of a kind items. To put this redicoulous price tag for a phone another way, you can buy not 1, but 2 Bugatti Veyrons (the most expensive car in the world) for the price of this phone. Well, for anyone who has this kind of loot laying around, I hope they weigh the option of 1 phone for $3.15mil, or thousands of lives in Haiti, and make a humanitarian difference with the dough.

[HEXAGONAL COUNTDOWN] U.S. national team striker Jozy Altidore, who sat out English club Sunderland's Saturday match at Crystal Palace with a hamstring injury, has been cleared by the national team's medical staff to resume workouts. An MRI evaluation of his right hamstring was normal.
U.S. head coach
Jurgen Klinsmann was described as "optimistic" Altidore will be available for selection for Friday's game at Costa Rica in San Jose (TV: 10 p.m. ET, beIN
The national team arrived Tuesday night in Costa Rica, where it was greeted with chants of "No Fair Play, USA," in reference to the Snow Bowl game the USA won over Costa Rica,
1-0, in March.
The Tico press is following the national team every step of the way, making sure Costa Rica fans know where to find their American visitors.
Al Dia reported
that the national team's flight touched down on Costa Rican soil at 5:54 p.m. local time and it headed to the Marriott Hotel, where it is staying, at 6:15 p.m. It added the USA would train twice Wednesday (10:30-12:30 p.m. and

CLINCHING SCENARIO. One scenario exists by which the USA can clinch a berth in the World Cup finals after the seventh day of
the Hexagonal -- the same day it clinched in 2005 when it beat Mexico, 2-0, in Columbus.
The USA will clinch Friday night if it beats Costa Rica, Mexico and Honduras tie in Mexico City,
and Panama loses to or ties Jamaica in Panama City.
JAMAICA CALL-UPS. New Jamaica coach Winfried Schaefer
called up five MLS players -- Alvas Powell, Donovan Ricketts and Ryan Johnson of the Portland Timbers, Vancouver Whitecaps forward Darren Mattocks and recent New England Revolution signing
O'Brian Woodbine -- for the Reggae Boyz's games against Panama and Costa Rica.
Last-place Jamaica's recalled Marlon King and Chris Humphrey, who had both been kicked off the national team for breaking curfew last
year, Luton Shelton, Jamaica's all-time leading scorer, and local star Jermaine Anderson, the leading scorer in the
Red Stripe Premier League the last two seasons.
The only two new players in the squad are Wes Morgan (Leicester City) and Shaun Cummings (Reading), both based in the English League Championship.

Around a million children across the UK don't know where their next meal is coming from, according to figures released today.
Kids Company, a charity which helps disadvantaged children, estimates that two children in every school classroom suffer from "food insecurity," as they are living in homes without enough food to eat.
A survey for the charity by parenting website Netmums found that one in four parents (24%) knew of a child in their local area who did not have enough to eat.
Just under a third of parents questioned (29%) said they had seen a rise in the number of children going hungry over the past two years.
The survey of 1,116 parents also found that 62 per cent knew local families where children go hungry as their parents cannot afford to buy all the food they need. More than half (56%) said they were aware of parents not feeding their children because they were abusing drugs or alcohol.
Over the past 12 months, the charity reported a 233 per cent rise in the number of children using its services.
The average age of the 17,000 children going to its centre is ten years old, and many bring younger siblings and even babies.
The charity is now urging people to donate any old mobile phones to its "Mobiles for Meals" appeal to help feed hungry children in the UK.
Just one phone can provide a month's worth of meals for a child helped by Kids Company. Unwanted handsets can be dropped off at any Orange and T Mobile shop from today (July 5).
Kids Company is aiming to raise at least £1m to feed hungry and vulnerable children and to help open more centres around the UK.
Camila Batmanghelidjh, Kids Company founder said: "We are seeing a lot more children struggling to get hold of food. We have kids who were so starving they stole frozen meat from a flat they visited and they ate it raw. We're seeing effectively responsible parents who are just not managing to have food in the house.
"Children don't have a public voice so they can't tell us. We have a collective responsibility to make sure every child has enough to eat. This is something as a society we can solve if we want to and change children's future for the better."
Netmums founder Siobhan Freegard said: "Too many children are not on the breadline, they are way, way under it. It's horrifying to realise how many kids are suffering around the UK. They are having their chances ruined before their lives have barely begun.
"We're not asking for cash, we only need old mobiles that you won't use again. Almost everyone has one hidden away. It may be old junk to you but it's a lifeline for the country's most vulnerable kids."

itslearning has been updated with a new version. The list below covers the most important new features.
The grade book is updated with several enhancements and new features. Note that the grade book may be unavailable for our largest customers on Friday 20 March and during the weekend. We will post a blog entry dedicated to the grade book changes when it is updated for all customers.
This version features a new intermediate skin especially tailored for early learners that have grown out of the early learner interface and are too young for the standard version.
Administrators decide which profiles that should have the intermediate skin. Click the Administration tab >> Profiles and then add a new profile. In "Select a profile to serve as a basis for defult values", select "Student". Assign the profile to the intermediate skin by selecting "Intermediate" in the Interface drop-down list under the heading Default profile settings.
The new web 2.0 editor plug-in tool allows you to insert web 2.0 content from the Internet, and embed them into the content you are creating in it's learning (messages, discussions, assignments, tests, etc.). By integrating external content with content created by yourself you can create powerful and dynamic learning content.
The plug-in allows users to embed content from any web page and we have added special plug-ins for popular services which include YouTube, Google Maps, Flickr, Delicious, Meebo rooms, Springwidget RSS, Slideshare, TeacherTube, SchoolTube, Odeo, VideoJug and SchoolTV.
Many web pages provides users with content that can be embedded by using, for example, embed tags. Teachers have the option to add embed code or write their own code.
This feature makes it easy to import content from other web 2.0 services into the content you created in itslearning.
Also note that the Image, Tree link, Link to file, New audio recording and New video recording buttons are moved to a new Insert drop-down in the rich-text editor. Look for the Insert link!
Getting tired of the long list of sites on the login page? Now you can use a unique login URL for your site. This URL takes you directly to the login box of your site. It is also possible to bookmark the link to your site with the unique URL.
What is the URL to my site? All sites have a "short name". Place the short name before itslearning.com in your URL. Example: If your short name is "mysite", your URL will be https://mysite.itslearning.com Note: do not use www in the link. The login page at https://www.itslearning.com still shows the drop-down list of sites.
Sites that want to be "anonymous" can now be removed from the list of sites on the login page at itslearning.com. Contact our support for more information.
Where can I find the short name of my site? The short name is used in your site's ePortfolio, behind https://www.itslearning.com. For questions regarding your site's short name, please contact your system administrator.
Showing names of document authors: If an assignment is found to be plagiarised by another user of itslearning teachers now get to see whether it was handed in by the same user previously or by others.
Not plagiarism: If teachers for some reason suspect that an assignment labelled as plagiarism by the plagiarism is in fact not, they can now overrule the plagiarism control. This is done by a new button called "This is not plagiarism".
If you discover that the document was plagiarised after all, an "Undo" link can be used to bring back the results from the plagiarism control.
Information message: The information message which is displayed when the "plagiarism control" box is checked is slightly changed. Instead of listing the document types that are not supported we now link to a page in the online help. This will tidy up the interface a bit and provides the users with a more detailed help.
Clicking the green man icon in the top menu displays a list of all online users. We have now added the role of the each user to avoid confusion if learners and teachers have similar names.
Clear answer: In Multiple Choice or Either/or questions, users could not clear the answer if one alternative was already selected. We have now added a "Clear answer" button which enabling users to submit blank answers.
This option is implemented because if the scoring method with penalty is used, the participants get a negative score for answering incorrectly, and 0 for not answering (to prevent guessing). In such cases blank answers may be more sensible.
Capitalising of keywords: It is now optional to select whether keywords should be case sensitive in open answer and short answer questions.
Some small enhancements are added to the graphical skins and the assignment tool.
Change has come to itslearning! Our language pack is expanded with US English language. To enable US English go to My settings >> Customise itslearning. Yes, we can!
FEIDE: Users can now log on with Feide authentication. Feide is a concept based on the principle that every user in the educational sector - pupil, student or employee - receives a user name from their school, college or university, which can be used throughout the sector. The same user name works everywhere, both at the user's own organisation and for shared national services, with the same password or certificate. Please contact your itslearning representative for more information about Feide.
Hierarchy course group synchronisation: The hierarchy synchronisation in courses can now be used to synchronise participants directly into groups. This saves the administrators and teachers for a lot of manual work. Note that this option is currently only available from within itslearning, and not from imports.
Grade book export service: A new feature for exporting the grade book to school administrative systems such as SkoleArena has been added, and in the future we will add support for Dexter and Assessment Manager. As a result of this enhancement, teachers do not have to enter the grades in two different systems. This will greatly ease the use for the teachers using both itslearning and school administrative systems.
Interested customers can contact our services department for more information about this service.
Layout change on course and project page: If the content of a bulletin post on the course or project main page is too wide, it will now push the boxes on the right hand side underneath it, thus enabling it to use the space needed. This prevents the content from overlapping. In addition, if wide content is added a new navigation toolbar appears which allows for quicker access to the different boxes.
REST API for course management: The REST API allows you to perform simple URL commands. In practise this means that you can make simple applications that can retrieve and create data in itslearning.
Interested customers can contact our services department for more information.
Diglib: Microsoft Learning Gateway integration: It is now possible to use Diglib through Microsoft Learning Gateway. Interested customers can contact our sales and marketing department for more information.
We have made following corrections in this release:
http warning: When viewing some of the content added with some of web 2.0 plug-ins you may get a warning saying that the page might contain both secure and insecure content. You should be safe to click Yes in the pop-up box.
Error in Dutch translation: The "intermediate" skin is translated "Gevorderd". This is incorrect and should have been: "Tussen-niveau".
Delicious tagrolls and test 2.0: If using Delicious tagrolls from the new web 2.0 content plug-in in short answer description of Test 2.0 questions, it disappears after QTI export-import. Workaround: Do not use Delicious in test that is going to be exported.
Test 2.0, web 2.0 and QTI exports: If a test 2.0 with more than 12 questions contains web 2.0 content and the questions are exported on the QTI format, only the 12 first questions are showing on the result page.
Internet Explorer 6 issues: Scroll bars are introduced in IE 6 for audio recordings in some sites with custom skins. This is an issue introduced with the new modal dialog boxes for audio recording.
New modal window: The new modal dialog boxes for "Insert" content items has currently got a fixed position. This has resulted in two open issues:
Opera and test 2.0: Viewing the whole answer on the result page with the "Show" link has a scrolling issue in Opera. If the answer has a big image or a big Web 2.0 content, it can not be viewed fully because scrolling doesn't work in Opera in this particular instance.
US sites and Community: Community does currently not work for US sites.

Mac Life - Part 5 - Living In Cloud Cuckoo Land
In previous blog posts I've mentioned cloud services including Mobile Me, Evernote and Dropbox. The big idea is to make it possible to get at my emails and data from anywhere with an internet connection but it has taken me years to figure out the advantages, limitations and feasibility of working with my data in the clouds.
Cloud Based Calendar and Contact Sharing
Apple's MobileMe service has this covered and can keep your contacts and calendar appointments up to date and synchronised across all your machines, including Windows, Mac and iPhones.
Cloud Based File Sharing
iDisk is part of MobileMe and gets you 10Gb online storage where you can store files and share them via a public folder with other users but what I really want to do is share folders with other MobileMe users, friends and collaborators and I don't think that's possible at the moment. Until then it's most useful feature is to share files between my Macs, virtual PC and iPhone.
Unlike MobileMe Dropbox makes it really easy to share files and collaborate with other people. Dropbox offers you 2Gb of FREE storage to get started with extra free storage if your friends sign up via your referral link and there's a paid Pro upgrade option if you need 50Gb or more storage.
There are other online file storage services floating around but Dropbox is free and easy to set up and use so I haven't had any reason to try the alternatives.
Sharing Notes & Documents
I use EverNote which is an awesome FREE cloud based service, with paid upgrade options, that's perfect for sharing searchable notes across all my machines and with my iPhone. Visit the Evernote website and watch the video tutorials which will blow your mind.
Email handling
Moving my huge archive of Outlook email has been my biggest headache. Fate intervened and I lost years of old emails when my PC hard drive failed as I was porting them across to the Mac!
I'm using Mozilla's Thunderbird on the Mac and to port the email across from the PC I used a nifty utility called Email Alchemy with memory booster active which works well - unless a hard drive fails on you.
In a blog posted titled Only Send Me Junk Mail From Now On! I explain why it's better if you don't email me with anything important. I'm still trying to arrive at a workable solution and the current state of play is to use Mailwasher Pro to look at all the emails sitting in my mailboxes across various accounts and services and delete and reply to anything urgent from there.
I think the way forward is to use google mail. When setting up new projects, especially where I'm collaborating with other people, we've been using Google Apps and the free google email services looks like the most workable solution for large volumes of email so far.
Project Sharing & Project Management
Google Apps is where it's at. It's another awesome free service which makes it possible to share spreadsheets and documents between collaborators online and in real-time and access them from anywhere using a web browser on any machine, PC, Mac or PDA.
Using a shared Google spreadsheet you can see other people editing cells in real time and chat with them at the same time. I hardly ever need to use Excel anymore, another MS application consigned to the scrapheap with no tears goodbye.
I'm not sure if chatting in real-time is strictly a cloud service or not but it remains a crucial part of the way I work in the clouds. The real-time chat mode in Google Apps and MSN make it easy to keep up to date with any project.
Cloud Based Multimedia Sharing
My son lugs around a heavy case stuffed with DVDs and music CDs, he thinks he owns them. I'm past that. Being in possession of shiny silver disc means nothing. You can't own music, TV programs or movies - they belong to the original creators and all you ever have is permission to listen or watch them so I've been content to have my music delivered to my ears via iTunes and more recently Spotify which only stores files locally on your iPhone for offline listening.
iTunes now offers Home Sharing which allows your to share your media between up to five machines which reminds me of my Apple Inspired Vision Of The Future posted back in 2007 - it's all coming together nicely.
Conclusion - Was Mac-Switching Worthwhile?
Unsurprisingly, given I started writing this on my PC and I'm finishing it on my Mac, the short answer is YES.
My Mac setup is an excellent affiliate marketing environment which means I can work from my office desk or get away from my desk by removing four cables and I'm good to go with my entire working environment without rebooting - it's an almost perfect fusion of desktop PC and portable laptop.
The biggest remaining challenge is figuring out the best way to organise local file storage and sharing. Although cloud services are the future they're still slow and need an internet connection so I still need to store some data, music and pictures locally.
Everything is backed up to a Mac Time Capsule so if the machine breaks or gets stolen I can, in theory, restore everything from the last backup at the click of a button.
So that's my Mac Life, how's yours?

Great articles! I'm thinking of going down the same road and great to read that you've found a much better desktop + mobile solution.ReplyDelete
I currently run with a desktop PC with 2 x 17" monitors, cheap laptop and iPhone. And quite frankly it's crap. Moving to cloud based services has helped a bit BUT as you say they can be a bit slow.
Be interested to hear how you got on with your software switches. For instance, I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks, IPSwitch FTP etc. Presumably, you can download MAC versions and use original License Key?
Reading your articles might just have given me the Motivation I need to B-ARSED to switch :-)
Thanks for the insights,
thanks for
Hi Neil,ReplyDelete
Thanks for your kind remarks and questions, I started writing a reply here but it got so long I've posted it as Mac Life Part 6
- Dixon JonesSunday, January 03, 2010 10:48:00 am
Sounds like so MANY solutions needed! You would have thought MobileMe would have done it all. But I tried MobileMe for a year and eventually had to hi e it up as "not for me".ReplyDelete

For press inquiries or to schedule an interview with the Attorney General please contact:

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Oregon Attorney General Hardy Myers today announced that a former North Coast Senior Services Agency (NCSS) employee was convicted of 12 felony counts including Submitting False Claims for Health Care Payment, Aggravated Theft, Computer Crime and Identity Theft. Tillamook County Judge David Hantke sentenced Barbara Louise Kamna to 93 months in prison, three years post-prison supervision, and to make over $250,000 in restitution.
As an office specialist with the agency, Kamna was responsible for entering data from invoices submitted by in-home caregivers paid with Medicaid funds. Based on the information from these invoices, the Department of Human Services (DHS) processes the claims and sends checks to the caregivers to pay them for their services.
In 1992, Kamna established an account listing her then-teenage daughter as a Medicaid-funded caregiver when, in fact, her daughter was not. For the next ten years, Kamna repeatedly created and entered data claiming that her daughter provided services to numerous Medicaid recipients. The claims were then processed by DHS, payment was sent to Kamna's post office box and deposited into her bank account. Over this time period, Kamna allegedly stole more than $250,000 from the Oregon Medicaid program by falsifying Medicaid claims for services not actually provided.
This case was investigated by the Oregon Department of Justice Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, and was being prosecuted by Medicaid Fraud Assistant Attorney General Sheen Wu through the Tillamook County District Attorney's Office.
"This prosecution and sentence sends a message that deceitful conduct when dealing with a state-funded program will not be tolerated, no matter who perpetrated the fraud," Myers said. "Especially in this time of state budget crisis, our Medicaid Fraud Unit will act to aggressively protect the integrity of the Medicaid Program so that the resources will be there for those truly in need."

New DIYer from North Alabama
Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Chip, and I recently joined the forum while doing some internet research on wiring a new cooktop. I have already found this forum to be quite usful, as I was able to find a thread in which another member here had the exact same question that I did.
Although I have not considered myself much of a DIYer in the past, I have done more home improvment since I got married almost two years ago than I did in my entire life beforehand! I never knew what the real meaning of "honey do" was until them! LOL
Since then, I have surprised myself with what I have been capable of doing from just doing internet research, watching some HGTV and the DIY network, and several visits to my local Home Improvement warehouse. My wife and I have done projects such as landscaping, installing ceramic tile in multiple rooms, some plumbing work, painting, and even a little wood work and eletrical work. I have never been much of a DIYer when it comes to the house. Frankly, I would have rather spent time working on my car or Jeep, but since I have gained soem knowledge about home improvement, I am now more motivated to do more around the house. Plus, it keeps the wife happy ;)
I am sure that I wil be at least a semi-frequent visitor to this site, mainly for advice and instructions on home projects. Maybe even some day, I will even be able to offer advice!
Welcome to the site.
Welcome to diy!

Roswell Pettibone Flower (August 7, 1835 – May 12, 1899) was the 30th Governor of New York from 1892 to 1894.
He was born on August 7, 1835, to Nathan Monroe Flower and Mary Ann Flower, the sixth of nine children. In 1853, he became Deputy Postmaster of Watertown, New York, at a salary of $600 a year, and after six years had saved $1,000 and opened with a partner a jewelry store. Two years later, he bought his partner out, and continued in this business until 1869.
In 1869, Henry Keep, a former President of the New York Central Railroad, was dying and asked Roswell Flower, whose wife was a sister of Keep's wife Emma, to manage the $4,000,000 estate for his widow. Flower asked Keep for guidance on who he could trust, and named a business associate, Daniel Drew. Keep replied, "He is as honest a man as there is in the State of New York, but for fear that somebody else will cheat, he will always begin first."[1] The business brought Flower to New York City where he became known as a shrewd financial administrator, and opened the banking house of R. P. Flower & Co.
He was elected as a Democrat to the 47th United States Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Levi P. Morton upon his appointment as Minister to France, and served from November 8, 1881, to March 3, 1883. He was also elected to the 51st and 52nd United States Congresses, and served from March 4, 1889, to September 16, 1891, when he resigned upon his nomination for Governor.
He was Governor of New York from 1892 to 1894, elected in 1891, the last one to serve a three-year term. During his term he signed into law the creation of the City of Niagara Falls.
He died of a heart attack on May 12, 1899 in Eastport, New York at the Long Island Country Clubhouse.[2]
A monument to Flower, designed by noted sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1902, is located on lower Washington Street at Watertown. It is in the Public Square Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[3]

Arpoador Rock, Rio de Janeiro
Arpoador (literally, the harpoon thrower) is located on the southern zone of the city Rio de Janeiro, in a small peninsula between Ipanema and Copacabana. Arpoador is mostly known for being one of the best metropolitan surf spots in Rio de Janeiro. Also a good spot to watch the sunset.
