HTC's almighty 4.7in quad-core powerhouse, the One X, will be making its way over to O2 for April 5 – if a recent Twitter- slip-up by O2 is anything to go by.
The Tweet followed a question from an O2 customer asking whether customers need to fork out for the One X upgrade when the high-end smartie officially arrives. O2 responded by saying the 1.5gHz Tegra 3 handset isn't due until April 5, and have therefore not made any decisions on the tariff front.
The HTC One X is part of a small selection of smartphones with quad-core super-powers, marking the dawn of a new breed of super-fast mobiles that'll make your single-core smartie look a bit Fisher Price.
While this doesn't necessarily point to the official on-sale date, we reckon April 5 is O2's official in-stock date, or that will be when O2 begins selling it. Either way, we'd be hazarding a guess, so all we can do is wait. Not long to go now.
If you missed our first impressions of HTC's flagship quad-core-toting, Android Ice Cream Sandwich last month at MWC you should take a peep at our hands on review.

barycorr is a multi-mission tool for applying barycenter corrections to X-ray timing data. The tool is designed to apply to data from RXTE, Swift, Chandra/AXAF, and NuSTAR. barycorr recognizes time-related columns and keywords within X-ray FITS files, and corrects these time values to the equivalent time at the solar system barycenter (SSB), expressed in TDB. barycorr applies geometric light-time calculations, relativistic corrections, and mission specific clock offset corrections. If a photon arrived at the given observatory timestamp, barycorr calculates the time that the same photon would have arrived at the solar system barycenter from the target.
barycorr uses the observatory orbit ephemeris file orbitFile, target position (ra, dec), and refFrame "FK5" (DE200) or "ICRS" (DE405). When RA and Dec are not provided, an effort is made to retrieve the target information from the FITS file.
barycorr recognizes the mission-specific components of a FITS input file according by reading the MISSION keyword. The special MISSION, 'Geocenter' corresponds to time stamps at the geocenter.
barycorr is a Perl wrapper to a standalone utility program (hdaxbary) which is an extended version of the CIAO function "axbary", a multi-mission function that applies barycenter corrections to HFWG-compliant FITS files.
The "barytime = no" option (default) will replace the values in the original TIME (case-insensitive) column from the input file with the barycenter-corrected times and update all time-related keywords and GTI values appropriately. Use of this option on binned (ie, XTE science array) data files is discouraged as it will preclude subsequent application of tools that expect evenly spaced time intervals to the modified datafile.
The "barytime = yes" option will simply append a new column, "BARYTIME", to a copy of the original file. No changes will be made to the time-related keywords or GTI table(s) in this case.
Do not ever use DE405 on a FITS file that has: TIMESYS="TDB" but not: RADECSYS="ICRS" or PLEPHEM="JPL-DE405" TIMESYS="TDB" _with_ RADECSYS="ICRS" and/or PLEPHEM="JPL-DE405" should use denum=405. TIMESYS="TDB" _without_ RADECSYS="ICRS" or PLEPHEM="JPL-DE405" should use denum=200.
DE405 may be used in conjunction with FK5 spacecraft orbit ephemeris. The maximum error is 2 ns for each earth radius that the spacecraft is removed from the geocenter. All positions provided by Tempo are on the DE200 reference frame, however - closer to FK5. This could introduce errors of up to 0.02 ms. A function, c200to405, is provided to convert DE200 positions to ICRS. Even so, it is recommended that DE200 is used for Tempo solutions that are based on DE200; apparently, efforts are underway to make Tempo support DE405.
Swift: The barycorr tool will attempt to apply the measured clock offset to all times based on the clock file. If clockfile=CALDB, then CALDB will be queried for this information. (The user must keep CALDB up to date for this to function properly.) If the swco.dat file does not cover the times in question then the tool will apply a correction based on the value of the UTCFINIT keyword plus an estimated clock-drift term. In this case a warning message will be generated and the TIERABSO value will be set to indicate the lower precision of this correction compared to using the measured clock offset.
RXTE: The barycorr tool attempts to apply a RXTE clock offset correction, which is normally stored in the file named $LHEA_DATA/tdc.dat. The RXTE mission is now complete and no further clock offset corrections are expected.
NuSTAR: The barycorr tool attempts to apply a NuSTAR clock offset correction, if the clockfile parameter is supplied. If the parameter is not supplied (clockfile='NONE'), then the user can expect accuracies of the magnitude +/- 100 msec.

Media Rely On Inflammatory Rhetoric In Absence Of Real Economic Debate
Recent Media Matters research revealed the overwhelming absence of economists and economic debate in television coverage of year-end budget negotiations. The lack of expert opinion has led to an over reliance on easily digested phrases such as "fiscal cliff," which many economists feel is a misleading term.
A Media Matters study [1] found that economists have been sorely lacking in media discussions of budget negotiations, accounting for only 4.4 percent of guests brought on to address the topic. Their scant presence has steered [2] most discussions toward non-economic issues, such as political leverage in negotiations.
Of course, since budget issues are inherently economic, removing the economics from the discussion entirely is not possible. Instead of providing substantive context, the media seem to have taken the tack of relying on misleading buzzwords to do the explaining.
The so-called "fiscal cliff [3]" describes a combination of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts set to take effect at the end of the year that, according [4] to the Congressional Budget Office, could cause the U.S. economy to experience recession in 2013. The origins of the current use of the phrase "fiscal cliff" apparently stem [5] from comments made by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in February 2012.
Since Bernanke's use of the phrase, it has become ubiquitous in media coverage of budget negotiations. Media Matters found that in 337 segments across cable and network news, the term "fiscal cliff" was used to frame discussions 287 times.
While the media have adopted the phrase with open arms, economists -- and even some journalists -- are not so convinced of its accuracy. According [6] to economist Dean Baker [7], it "totally misrepresents what happens if no deal is reached," and the media's insistence in using it "is incredibly irresponsible." Nobel-Prize winning economist Paul Krugman succinctly points out [8] the fallacy of using such a phrase:
It's worth pointing out that the fiscal cliff isn't really a cliff. It's not like the debt-ceiling confrontation, where terrible things might well have happened right away if the deadline had been missed. This time, nothing very bad will happen to the economy if agreement isn't reached until a few weeks or even a few months into 2013.
The problem of the media's reliance on "fiscal cliff" terminology, however, goes further than simply mischaracterizing economic realities, and moves into the territory of fearmongering. In a Huffington Post column, University of California linguist George Lakoff explains [9] the rhetorical implications of the phrase:
Imagine driving toward a cliff with the possibility of going over. The car you are in is out of control. The cliff is a feature of the natural environment. If the car goes over, everyone in it would be harmed or killed. Thus, if the economy is a vehicle moving forward without control toward the cliff, there is great and immediate danger, and so the "fiscal cliff" metaphor engenders fear. Thus, knowledge about driving out of control toward a cliff, together with the metaphors cited above, characterizes the implications of the "fiscal cliff" metaphor.
So not only is the phrase misleading, but it also stokes unnecessary fear among viewers. While some media segments have offered alternative frames of budget negotiations discussions that do not convey immediate catastrophe -- such as "fiscal slope" or "fiscal curve" -- the overwhelming majority adopted the inflammatory rhetoric of "fiscal cliff."
Of course, these issues could be sufficiently mitigated if the media provided an adequate outlet for economists, instead of relying on catchy phrases and misplacing their attention on political issues.

Attention Followers of the blog EYESEAT. The fact remains, we're already just about midway through the month of May in the year Twenty-Seventeen. The origins of visions as seen through our optic nerves: where do they arrive from, if not starlight? In our waking dreams here on this electromagnetic spinning planet, how did we come to open our eyes and see? Please excuse me while I go refill my coffee. Today's watercolor illustration, "baby Griffon", has been posted here before. It's a more recent effort, in terms of the Two-thousands and Twenty-teens, although it strives to capture something on paper that was never meant to be. I tell you, I thought about this until I was in danger of becoming permanently anchored into the ground as a human tree. Stay tuned in the following weeks for new artwork to be scanned and uploaded here. In the meantime, have fun exploring all the hidden hyperlinks I've scattered about to while away the online hours. Believe me, no matter how dated this site you must repeat to yourself you never stumbled upon may appear as you read these very words, I'm still here, the hidden shadow behind the lurkers.

It is actually possible to make money by holding a party. Best of all this party doesn't involve the selling of Tupper ware or any sort of pyramid scheme so you won't drive your friends away. Instead, your friends will be happier than ever because both you and your guests can make a few bucks from the party.
The party is called a gold party and it helps you and others generate a little extra cash by selling gold and other valuables. Best of all it won't cost you any more and nobody will take any risks. Instead of being bored by a sales presentation, your guests can leave with a few extra bucks in their pockets.
You can even stage such an event on behalf of a charity such as a community group or a house of worship. It is a great way to raise money without asking your friends and neighbors for money that they don't have.
How it Works
The price of gold and other precious metals is now so high that buyers are having a hard time getting enough of it. That's why they're resulting to unorthodox means like gold parties.
The way such an event works is pretty simple. You organize it and provide a place to hold it such as your home or a church hall. You contact the gold party company and arrange for the party. Then you invite everybody you know to come and bring their valuables.
When the day arrives, the organization you work with provides a professional appraiser. That's an expert who knows the price of gold and other valuables. The guests bring their valuables, the appraiser looks at them and if the items are worth money he makes a cash offer for them.
The guests are under no obligation to sell anything. If they don't like the offer they can take their things home.
If they like the offer they can get some cash. You or the charity you are working with get a cut of the cash. It's that simple and it actually works.
To add icing to the cake many of these organizations will even provide drinks and snacks for the party. It's simple and it works.
Where to Find Gold Party Organizations
The best place to find a gold party organization is online. There are several companies that organize and host these events in all areas of the country. You should be able to make contact with one by going online and doing a simple search.
Then all you have to do is organize the party and send out the invitations. The buying organization that you are working with should do the rest.

Bolivian Parents Explain Decision To Name Newborn Son 'Iron Maiden' And The Reason Is Amazing
A couple in Bolivia has named their son Iron Maiden in tribute to the heavy metal icons. ATB Digital (via Blabbermouth) reports that the father, a superfan named César Durán Alpiri, explained that the band's mascot Eddie was the driving force behind the name.
Surrounded by Iron Maiden merchandise, César explained, "It has a lot to do with Eddie, The Head of Iron Maiden. I want my son to have that strength, that energy." He tells Ruptly TV in the video below, "I want him to fight for what he wants, to have the attitude and, above all, to be mentally strong."
For the skeptics , César and his wife posted baby Iron Maiden's birth certificate on social media.
Let's just hope little baby Iron Maiden grows up to love heavy metal.

A sustainable gathering
By Megan Sexton, email@example.com, 803-777-1421
Rebecca Marasco remembers her first few days at the University of South Carolina, walking across campus after purchasing a take-out meal, trying to find a place to recycle her plastic utensils.
A Massachusetts native, she had transferred to USC in fall 2011 from a small school in North Carolina. She had lived in "very progressive, environmental bubbles" all of her life. She found herself excited about the opportunities at USC and looking for an outreach group that shared her beliefs about recycling.
She found it in the USC EcoReps program, a peer-to-peer leadership program in University Housing that works to promote sustainability in residence halls.
"Reducing waste is something that is in the forefront of my mind. It's something I feel passionate about," she said. "The EcoReps program is a great outlet for other students who feel like me or those interested in learning more."
This weekend, Marasco and the rest of the USC EcoReps will have plenty of company on campus. Carolina hosts the second Southeastern EcoReps Conference Feb. 22-24, bringing together more than 70 student sustainability leaders and 14 advisers from 14 schools in the region to learn from each other and talk about successes and challenges they have had on their campuses, said Margaret Bounds, USC's coordinator for environmental sustainability. Students from schools in North and South Carolina, along with the universities of Kentucky, Tennessee, North Texas and East Tennessee State will attend.
This is the second year that USC will host this conference, offering a chance to showcase the EcoReps program and other sustainability initiatives on campus.
Workshops at the conference will include "How to Start/Improve an EcoReps Program" and "Hot Topics in Sustainability." Speakers will include Sustainability Director Christina Erickson from Champlain College in Vermont. Students will network with peer sustainability leaders from other universities through ice breakers, games, volunteering at City Roots and even an optional morning run.
The conference will be carbon neutral, meaning any carbon emissions that will go into it will be offset by its participants' efforts to decrease their environmental impacts. These steps include using reusable glassware and utensils, tree planting and purchasing carbon offsets from providers that are exceeding the current requirements for greenhouse gas emission reductions.
"University Housing's EcoReps program has provided a way for residents and students campuswide to learn about sustainability in a fun and interactive way from their peers instead of in a classroom. We have focused on easy ways students can change their behavior in ways which help the university achieve larger sustainability goals for energy and carbon emissions reduction, like swapping incandescent light bulbs for compact fluorescent light bulbs," Bounds said. "The Learning Center for Sustainable Futures at the Green Quad is also an ideal location because it is a green building, which helps keep the carbon emissions associated with the conference low."
For students such as Marasco, this weekend's conference is a chance to learn more about ways the EcoReps can continue to make a difference in residence hall life. She was an EcoRep in South Quad last year. This year she lives off campus and is doing outreach work with student organizations, including working with representatives of USC's Greek Village on recycling issues.
She will graduate in December and hopes to continue working in sustainability and environmental work. Ideally, she would like to do outreach with students to help them appreciate the outdoors.
"We have lot of kids in our cities that don't have a notion that nature is a tangible thing," Marasco said. "If you don't have trees in your backyard, you don't know what it means for them to be gone."

The following story is true, although significant elements have been modified to ensure confidentiality.
It was late in the evening at the church, and I was extremely tired and looking forward to going home and crashing in my bed. I had been giving some or other pious talk and people were dispersing. But as I walked towards the exit an older woman walked up to me, clearly with a question for me. I recognized her as one of our regulars, although, as usual, I could not recall her name.
"Father Gregory, would you hear my confession?" she asked me. The tiredness on my face must have shown, because she quickly added, "We can do it another time, if you have to go."
"Not at all", I replied, "this is a good time." And I forced a smile.
We went into the confessional, and I heard her confession, gave her a penance and absolution. Even now, I cannot remember what she said, but then, God usually takes that away and I almost never remember confessions. But it was nothing very earth shattering. And with that, she walked out into the night, and I went to my car to drive home. As it happened, I was never to see her again.
Her family found her dead on the floor of her room several days later. I would later find out that she was unmarried, lived with an older brother, and that her religion was her whole life.
Her brother had been out of town for a few days on business, and when he returned, her spirit was gone. Apparently she had bad health for years, and when the end came it was not a surprise. Even so, finding, the body of a loved one is a painful experience. And I was probably the last person to see her or speak with her on this Earth.
About a week later, I was again at my church when I met a prosperous-looking businessman who asked for me, and when I came out of the sacristy, he identified himself as her brother and caretaker. He told me the story of how she had been found and about her medical challenges and her unfortunate ending.
"Well, I am truly sorry for your loss. She was always here at Mass," I began. "We would be more than happy to assist you with a funeral or memorial service."
But he cut me off with a wave of a hand and a polite smile. "Thank you, Father, but I don't believe in your religion. It was fine for my sister but I have other views. I just came here, to see the place she spent so much time."
"Well, we respect your conscience," I said. "But you are always welcome to come here and visit, regardless of what you believe. Perhaps I could give you a little tour, and show you where she spent her time."
And with this we walked around the church, and I pointed out her favorite seat, the statues and stained glass that she would have seen every day and the altar in front of which she prayed. When we got to the back of the church, I pointed out the confessional.
"If she ever made her confession, this is where she would have done it," I said, walking into the chapel we used. In fact, I had been in there with her only a few days before, but out of respect for her privacy I did not say I had ever seen her therein.
"I had a dream about her" he said slowly. "I saw her, and she was in a good place."
"I am sure she is" I replied. "I am absolutely certain she is OK now."
According to traditional theology, we would say that she had died in a state of grace, but I could not say how I knew this. I was still a little off balance, given that I had just learned of her death.
"I don't believe in any of this stuff," he said slowly. "But I want to do right by her. Do you know what she would want?"
"Well," I replied, "if you do not want a traditional funeral, you could still arrange for a Mass to be said for her. It's an old Catholic custom."
Indeed it is a very ancient one, and most of the daily Masses we say are said on behalf of someone who has gone on ahead of us.
"Would I have to attend?" he asked me with only a small amount of suspiciousness in his voice, as if I were secretly planning to nab him and chain him down to a pew. I said that he did not need to attend, and indeed, many Masses are said without the benefactor being present.
"There is a requested donation," I explained, "but it's very small and in cases of any necessity it is always waived. I don't handle money, but the office can assist you."
I would find out later that he made a generous offering, most of which would go to charitable purposes, and the Mass was logged and scheduled into our records. As it happened, I was the priest on duty a few months later when the appointed day rolled around, and I offered the Mass for her soul. No family was present, and that was the end of the matter, but it still haunted me.
If I ever end up teaching in a seminary, I will tell this story to impress on the young ecclesiastical midshipmen the importance of always being available and willing to hear confessions. What if I had decided to be a grouch and made her wait? She would have waited forever.
And while I know that God would have certainly forgiven her faithful soul without my aid, I would have never forgiven myself. A priest who does not have time to hear a confession needs to find another job before he does any more damage.
But beyond this obviously moralistic and priestly rant, in recalling this tale, I cannot help but be struck again by the fragility of our human life here on this Earth. What might I have said to her, if I had known it would be our last meeting, and that within a day, perhaps hours, she would meet her kind maker?
I do not actually recall what, if anything, I said to her, given the hundreds of confessions I hear in a month. I hope I had a kind word for her.
Let us then draw a moral at least from this parable, whatever out religious or spiritual background might be. It is not always possible, but it is always good to be kind, encouraging and gentle. One never knows when that last goodbye will be for every person we meet on Earth, and so it is important always to part on friendly terms. Be sure to tell your family and friends you love them.
This much is certain: One day, a last greeting to someone will indeed be our last farewell.

A saving throw represent the chance to avoid an unusual or magical attack. The mechanics is very similar to the one of an attack roll: 1d20 + base save bonus + ability modifier
The base save bonus is based on the classes the character has levels in, as well as on the number of levels. The DC depends on the attack itself (e.g., if it's a saving throw from a spell, the spell's DC is used).
A natural 20 on 1d20 always means success, while a natural 1 is always a failure. In the latter case, if the effect could harm objects too, it damages the exposed ones.
There are three different kinds of saving throws:

You have to wonder if the conservative Sutherland Institute's recent diatribe against the Sundance Film Festival for showing "inappropriate" movies is disingenuous at best, or, as conservative Sen. Steve Urquhart, R-St. George, said on Facebook, just a fundraising tactic.
The Sutherland Institute, like the Eagle Forum, has been Utah's self-appointed moral watchdog for years. The institute recently questioned state appropriations to the festival, which brings in tens of millions of dollars a year to Utah's economy. Its main complaint was the nature of the films, which the institute described as too suggestive.
But that same Sutherland Institute seems more tolerant when advancing a cause against public school districts, a favorite target.
Last spring, the institute posted a story on its YouTube page that questioned the Jordan and Granite school districts' commitment to students with learning disabilities and other problems. It quoted a source who identified certain students as qualifying for special programs that the school districts allegedly ignored.
The districts objected to the story, claiming the reporter, who no longer is with Sutherland, didn't bother to get their side or talk to education experts who administer those programs and say the allegations are baseless.
It also was revealed that a source in the story had tagged on his YouTube account favorite sites that he could access automatically.
The favorites included titles like "Hot Jailbait Dance," Girls Make Out" and "Lesbian Kiss."
When that was pointed out to the Sutherland Institute, the story was removed from its site. But it was reinstated once those sites were removed from the source's YouTube account.
Sutherland spokesman Dave Buer told me at the time the story was removed to correct some technical problems. As far as the questionable sites are concerned, he told me that did not change the story's premise that the children in the school districts were not being adequately served.
The story remains on the Sutherland Institute's site.
Funny guy • During the Chamber of Commerce' "Economic Outlook 2013" breakfast at the Salt Lake Hilton on Thursday, Gov. Gary Herbert was in the middle of his speech when a Hilton employee walked on the stage and placed a chair next to the podium, presumably for the governor to sit down if he wanted.
The movement seemed to interrupt Herbert's chain of thought, so he paused for a moment. Then he looked at the chair and said: "Is that President Obama?"
Patrick Henry lives • If nothing else, President Barack Obama's efforts on gun control have reenergized former legislator and failed Republican congressional candidate Carl Wimmer, who has seized the opportunity to play cowboy again.
You will recall that when Wimmer was in the Legislature, he and four other right-wing members of the Utah House dubbed themselves the "Fab Five," established the Patrick Henry Caucus and were featured in a video that seemed to depict them as some kind of superheroes.
Then, after Wimmer lost his bid for Congress in the GOP convention to Mia Love, and didn't get the political job he thought he had with the Nevada Republican Party, he took a low profile, hiring on as a resource cop with Gunnison High School.
But now, thanks to Obama, the old "give me liberty or give me death" spirit is back.
Wimmer has been posting eagerly on Facebook about how he ain't giving up his guns.
One post: "Heston and I are getting ready to clean about eight guns … many that will be illegal if goofball Diane Feinstein has her way."
Another: "Mr. Obama, if your administration passes further federal gun restrictions on law abiding citizens, I WILL NOT enforce them. My allegiance is to the Constitution and to the free people of this state and nation." (I can just envision some barricaded standoff at Gunnison High School).
Also on the page next to the rants were advertisements for a gun exchange and assault rifle give-aways.
When Ellen Brady posted a comment on his page pointing out an inconsistency between his saber-rattling postings and the Bible verse he posted on his profile, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me," he told her to get off his Facebook page.
"You are not my Facebook friend and you are not protected by the 1st Amendment on someone's personal Facebook page, so quit posting. I do not know you, and I have no interest in hearing from you," he wrote.
So the guy who wanted to be in Congress, and who had a fairly good following, never wants to hear from anyone who disagrees with him.
Looks like we dodged that bullet (pun intended).

The TriO program staff have been my academic parents making sure that I follow my dreams."- Isiah Brandon
"I can honestly say that the TRIO program has helped me out a lot. The mentors are very helpful and always looking out for the students here at Triton. BriAnne, Brenda, Blanca and Noel in particular have helped me out with scholarships, sending out reminders for helpful workshops, and are always there if I need someone to talk to. They are all great motivators and encourage us to do our best to succeed. I am grateful for all their help during my college experience."- Elizabeth Lara

The greens at San Diego Country Club were running Augusta National fast, the breeze was up after a nasty, rain-soaked morning, and USD golfer Alex Ching was being chased closely by two guys from the University of Washington who played in the U.S. Open last summer.
Those are all very good reasons for Ching to be thrilled when he emerged as the medalist of the fifth San Diego Intercollegiate Classic. The senior from Hawaii shot even-par 72 in the third round to score 2-under overall and prevail by one shot over Garrick Porteous of Tennessee (69).
Two shots behind were four players, including the two decorated Huskies – 2011 Walker Cup player Chris Williams (74) and freshman Cheng-Tsung Pan, whose past accomplishments include becoming the youngest player, at 15, to reach the quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur since Bobby Jones.
"My career at USD has been a good one and fun, and this win definitely ranks at the top," Ching, 21, said of his sixth career college victory and second of the season. "I love playing out at San Diego Country Club. We play out there all of the time; we know the head pro by name (John Osborne) and everybody knows us out there. To be able to win on our home course, it's pretty special."
With three players finishing in the top 10, including La Costa Canyon alum Trevor Simsby (69) alone in seventh at 1-over, fifth-ranked Washington captured the team title at 6-over 870 in the 15-team field. The Huskies were seven shots better than runner-up and ninth-ranked USC and defeated No. 3 and third-place UCLA by 14 strokes.
San Diego State (23-over) tied for fourth, while co-host USD (29-over) finished sixth.
"It was a great field and a great track, so it felt like a big championship," said Huskies coach Matt Thurmond. "This felt like what we're going to see in the NCAAs. There were some great teams and the two home teams are really good. That's a tough thing for us to come down to Southern California and come away with a victory."
The tournament that began as a get-together for only the five local colleges grew this year into one of the best events on the spring college schedule. With the sponsorship support of Lamkin Grips and TaylorMade Golf, five of the top 25 teams in the country competed, as well as two-time defending national champion Augusta State.
The course setup at SDCC matched the quality of the field. Despite heavy rain at times, the greens still ran at close to 13 on the Stimpmeter, which is at least equal to the fastest surfaces at professional major championships.
"The greens are pure," Ching said. "Other than in last year's tournament, I'd never seen them so fast. Everybody was kind of joking that it felt like we were playing in the Masters. It was hard to keep the ball on the green."
That only served to be an advantage for the top putters, as well as a player like Ching who understood where he could attack or back off. "Being able to know where you could hit shots, where you could make birdie from really helped," Ching said.
Ching made two eagles in the tournament, including one at the par-5 second on Tuesday, when he striped a rescue-club shot from 234 yards that ended up 6 feet from the pin.

Taylor Swift wins VMA, gives uninterrupted acceptance speech
Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio
Taylor Swift has a new MTV Video Music Award to her credit. And this time she had the chance to express her appreciation for the honor without being interrupted. The country-pop crossover sensation got the nod for Best Female Video at Sunday's event with her hit "I Knew You Were Trouble."
She previously captured the category in 2009, becoming the first country singer to earn an MTV award, but her win drew headlines for another reason. Swift's acceptance was infamously interrupted by Kanye West, who stepped on stage, took the microphone from Taylor, and stated his opinion that Beyonce should have won the award.
[PHOTOS: 2013 MTV Video Music Awards]
West is also at this year's event, but this time kept quiet during Swift's speech. This year Taylor was up against videos from Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Pink featuring Nate Ruess, and Rihanna featuring Mikky Ekko. The 2013 MTV VMAs are being presented at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and are airing live on MTV.

USC students named Goldwater Scholars
By Megan Sexton, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-1421
Two University of South Carolina students have been named Goldwater Scholars and two were recognized as honorable mentions for the prestigious national award.
Drew DeLorenzo and Mackenzie Sunday have been named 2013 Barry M. Goldwater Scholars, while John Clegg and Francesco Risalvato have been named honorable mentions. Nationally, 271 Goldwater Scholars were selected on the basis of academic merit from a field of 1,107 mathematics, science and engineering students, nominated by the faculties of colleges and universities nationwide.
This is the 21st consecutive year USC students have been named Goldwater Scholars, with a total of 43 Goldwater Scholarships won by Carolina students since 1990. Each university may nominate up to four students for this award. The Goldwater Scholarship is awarded to sophomores and juniors pursuing bachelor's degrees in natural sciences, mathematics or engineering and who intend to pursue a career in research and/or college-level teaching. The one- and two-year scholarships cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, room and board for up to $7,500 per year.
DeLorenzo is a junior majoring in marine science, biochemistry and molecular biology and a member of the South Carolina Honors College. He is the recipient of the Traci Heincelman Scholarship, the Marine Science Department Scholarship, the College of Arts and Sciences Scholarship and a Magellan Scholarship. He was recently named a 2013 Udall Scholarship Honorable Mention, invited to join Phi Beta Kappa, and is a recipient of the NOAA Hollings Scholarship, the USC Cooper Scholarship and was named the Outstanding Rising Senior for Marine Science. DeLorenzo is an active member of Jerry Hilbish's biological science research laboratory on campus, served as the education outreach coordinator for SEAS, is the current editor-in-chief of MarSci, and is passionate about preserving endangered corals. He plans to earn a master's in coral genetics and a doctorate in genetic engineering, to restore populations of endangered corals through conservation genetics. He is the son of Jamie and Gregory DeLorenzo of Cincinnati, Ohio, and is a graduate of St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati.
Sunday is a junior in the South Carolina Honors College, pursuing a Baccalaureus Artium et Scientiae (BARSC) degree with a focus on neuroscience. She is the recipient of the R.C. McEntire and Co. Inc. Carolina Scholarship, as well as the Lieber and Palmetto scholarships, and an Explorer's grant from the Honors College. She works in John Henderson's psychology research lab on visual cognition, in part supported by an Explorer's grant from the Honors College. She is active with Carolina Science Outreach, serves as an ambassador for the Honors College, has also taken advantage of study abroad opportunities in Greece and India and is currently in New Zealand. Sunday intends to pursue a doctorate in cognitive neuroscience. Sunday is the daughter of Ilona and Tom Sunday of Columbia, and is a graduate of A.C. Flora High School.
Clegg is a junior biomedical engineering major and is a member of the South Carolina Honors College. A recipient of both a Magellan Scholarship and an Honors College Science Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) for his research, as well as the USC Cooper Scholarship and the Neva and Joe Gibbons Biomedical Scholarship, he is a member of Tau Beta Pi, Omicron Delta Kappa and is the faculty liaison for the Biomedical Engineering Society. He currently serves as vice president of Theta Tau, and with the aid of a Leadership Scholars Program Grant, he helped to originate and chair its annual "Pumpkin Chunkin'" event. He is also active with the College of Engineering and Computing Ambassadors, and works in Melissa Moss' chemical engineering research lab. Clegg plans to pursue a doctorate in biomedical engineering and conduct research in targeted drug delivery. He is the son of Michelle and Robert Clegg of Downingtown, Pa., and is a graduate of Downingtown East High School.
Risalvato is a junior chemical engineering major and member of the South Carolina Honors College. An Eagle Scout, he is the recipient of the Cooper Scholarship and the Rothberg Scholarship, as well as the Magellan Scholar, Magellan Voyager, and Honors College SURF Grants to fund his research. He is active in the Tau Beta Pi Honors society, serves as an AIChE class representative, is the Theta Tau philanthropy chair, and serves as a College of Engineering and Computing ambassador. Risalvato works in Xiao-Dong Zhou's chemical engineering research laboratory, and plans to earn a doctoral degree in chemical engineering for industrial research. Risalvato is the son of Deborah and Frank Risalvato Sr. of Waxhaw, N.C., and is a graduate of Weddington High School.
The university's Goldwater Committee, chaired by Douglas Meade (mathematics) and including other faculty members Melissa Moss (chemical and biomedical engineering), Scott Goode (chemistry), Susan Alexander (South Carolina Honors College) and Gwen Geidel (earth and ocean sciences) worked closely with the nominees in preparing their applications. The Office of Fellowships and Scholar Programs further assisted the Goldwater applicants.

THE GENERAL election campaign in Blackburn moved up a gear today with the first showdown between the three main parties.
Blackburn Cathedral was the venue, with a theme of 'Can we trust politicians?'.
THIS is a campaign that looks set to be dominated by debates between the three main party leaders.
And it was standing room only at Blackburn Cathedral this lunchtime as Labour's Jack Straw faced up to Michael Law-Riding from the Conservatives and Liberal Democrat Paul English.
But at times it seemed the event would be remembered not for the candidates on the podium, but because of one who wasn't - Bushra Irfan.
She is standing as an independent and was furious at being excluded from the event.
As the debate got underway, she clashed angrily with Cathedral staff, and the shouting from her supporters at times drowned out the discussions.
After 15 minutes, police were called and 'moved on' some of the protesters.
Mr English was hoping to match his leader Nick Clegg's performance last week, which has triggered a surge in the polls for the Lib Dems.
The Skipton councillor was first to speak, claiming the Lib Dems had been 'the least tainted' by the MPs' expenses scandal.
"Westminster needs cleaning out from the bottom", he added.
Coun Law-Riding claimed Blackburn had not improved under Labour, while Mr Straw admitted some MPs had been 'on the make' with their expenses, and accepted people were right to feel 'betrayed'.
The audience took turns to ask questions, with topics ranging from facilities for young people - both Coun Law-Riding and Mr Straw claimed the credit for the borough's free leisure drive - to controversial new laws on internet piracy.
In response to a question on the Iraq war, Mr Straw, who was foreign secretary at the time of the 2002 invasion, accepted he bore 'a heavy responsibility' and was 'deeply sorry' for people who had died.
But he added: "I would be accused of all sorts of things if I was seen to be ducking and diving now."
He also accused Israel of 'preposterous' theft of land in the Palestine dispute.
His opponents attacked him over the Iraq invasion, with Coun Law-Riding claiming it proved former Prime Minister Tony Blair could not be trusted and Mr English calling for troops to be withdrawn from Afghanistan.
Other topics included mental health care, with all of the panelists calling for a greater understanding of the issue, and the need to restore the link between the state pension and average earnings, abolished by Margaret Thatcher in 1980, which all parties have pledged to do.
At the end Anjum Anwar, the Cathedral cohesion worker who helped organise the debate, apologised to the audience for the disruption caused by Ms Irfan's supporters.
She said: "I apologise for the unruly behaviour by my Muslim sister.
"She forgot this was a house of God, and she wouldn't have raised her voice in a mosque."
Lancashire Police said uniformed officers were called to the Cathedral at 1.15pm and several protesters, along with two vehicles, were 'moved on'.
One of the vehicles, both of which were towing campaign displays, was an ice cream van.
Nobody was arrested.
A spokesman for Ms Irfan said: "We were invited, then we were told to sit in the audience.
"That is outrageous."

Iconic Austin 'Hi, How Are You' Mural Defaced
An iconic mural near the University of Texas campus which was integral in the creation of the 'keep Austin weird' vibe of the 1990s, was defaced over the holiday by a 32 year old woman who told police she thought the mural was 'talking to her,' officials tell 1200 WOAI news.
The mural, which shows a frog under the words 'Hi, How Are You' was painted by Austin singer-songwriter Daniel Johnson on the side of the former Sound Exchange record store near 21st and Guadalupe Streets in 1994.
Since then, the mural has become center to the eclectic arts scene that Austin is famous for. The mural is mentioned in travel guidebooks, people come to have their picture taken next to it, and when the chain restaurant Baja Fresh took over the building 'save the frog' efforts were mounted across the city, to make sure the new owners did not paint over the work of art.
Many Austinites and U.T. students give directions to locations on and off campus using 'Hi, How Are You' as a starting point. The mural was reproduced onto a T-Shirt which was worn by Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain.
Rebecca Guest, 32, is charged with spray painting the 'F-word' several times over the face of the mural.
Guest told police, according to an affidavit obtained by 1200 WOAI news, that she believed the mural was 'meant to personally insult her.' She said she spay painted over it to try to convince the restaurant to remove it.
Guest has been released on bond. It is uncertain whether the mural is salvageable.

Swagbucks is an incredibly easy site to earn from even from putting in little effort. They offer many prizes to be redeemed for their currency of Swagbucks. You can earn points for searching, watching videos, completing offers, surveys, etc. Even while putting little effort forth, in just one day I got enough points and more for a $5 Amazon gift card. If you put a bit more effort towards it all, you can get even more.
Proof so far:
Sign up now and you'll get a 30 SB bonus immediately!
Even if you only get 200 SB's per day, that is give or take 6000 SB's per month. 6000 SB's/450 = $65/month in Amazon gift cards. You can do this by maxing your points in SBTV and using the mobile app for Swagbucks. For SBTV, the max in a day is 150 SB's, while the max for the mobile app is 50 SB's. To make things easy, the mobile app will automatically do the work for you once you sign in and start your first video. It will constantly cycle through videos, while also giving you credit. I keep mentioning Amazon simply because it is my preference, but you can order other gift cards such as Paypal, Target, Starbucks, Dominos, etc.
A bit of a breakdown for how to take an average day, for your convenience:
Searching - Throughout the day, you can get SB's just for using their search engine. Usually it is best to space out your searches to maximize the number of wins that you may get in a day. You can either search using the main page, the search bar on any other pages, or by using the toolbar. Fridays are Mega Swag Bucks day. On MSBD, you can usually get a significantly higher amount of SB's for your searches. On any given day, you can get as little as no search wins, to as much as four search wins (max I've gotten in a day). Usually I am able to get doubles or triples by just searching periodically throughout the day. What the wins come down to is really just a random factor, so just keep trying. I can't stress this enough. This is a great way to get easy, quick, and sometimes very plentiful Swagbucks. Just yesterday I had over 50 SB's from search wins. Heck, I got 40 SB's in one search, so don't get discouraged if you don't always get search wins immediately.
Daily Polls - Vote in the daily poll for an easy 1 SB.
NOSO - Click "Start Earning Now", skip through all of the adds, then complete the captcha for 2 SB's.
Toolbar - You can download the toolbar for Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Chrome (Safari coming soon). Download the toolbar, and you can get 1 SB daily for using it. I find that I usually have to simply sign out and then back in daily using the toolbar to get my SB for it.
Swagbucks TV - For the SBTV meter, you need to fill it to 100%. You get 10% per video you watch (or per time that you refresh the page and wait for it to fill up). That takes about 10 minutes to reach 100%. You get 3 SB's per 100%, so six sets/hour, 18 SB's/hour. 150/18, so this takes about 8.3 hrs to reach the daily max of 150 SB's.
Swagbucks TV Mobile - The mobile phone app works the pretty much same way as the regular Swagbucks TV except that you get 20% for each video instead of 10%. You still only need 100% total; 2SB's per 100%. You can get 50 SB's per day for SBTV Mobile. You can just let them run simultaneously if you so please. You can turn off the sound on your phone, and mute your computer so you don't have to listen to the videos all day. From there, just let them run in the background while you do whatever else you have to do. Be aware that this takes a high amount of bandwidth, so I do recommend having WiFi enabled while doing, if you don't have a very high/unlimited data plan.
Hourly Random Winner - I've never personally won this, but always worth watching out for since it gives you 1000 SB's if you claim it within the time frame. The box appears below your daily earning checklist on the right side of the Swagbucks home page.
Special Offers - These are the type of things that can be good or bad. Some offers are as easy watching a video to the end, while some require you to have a credit card and order things. There are many offers that simply require you to fill out a form of some sort and skip through a bunch of offers. I personally prefer Google Chrome for my browser, which has Auto-Fill built in for these type of offers. These are some of the bigger rewarding things to do on Swagbucks, but are a bit more sporadic when it comes to properly crediting you, so is purely your call on whether or not to do certain offers. I personally don't recommend doing offers that require you to purchase things as it seems a bit counter productive to me, but your call.
Games - I don't personally usually bother with these, but if you're looking to maximize your daily SB's, then feel free. The payout is 2 SB's per 2 games you play, for a max of 10 SB's in a day.
Message Box - Randomly throughout the day, you will usually get offers that vary. Some are just watching a video they send you and confirming the Ad Retailer's site matches, or something simple like that.
Swag Codes - Swag codes are randomly posted throughout the day. They net you random amounts of points, based on what their specified value is. They can be redeemed on the main Swagbucks homepage to the right side where it says 'Swag Code (Case Sensitive)'. Codes will often be posted at http://sc-s.com/?setvalue=Yes if you can't find them yourself.
Bing Rewards
There isn't a whole lot to Bing Rewards, but it is still an easy site to use and rack up points on. In a day, you can get 10 credits for doing 20 searches (1 point per 2 searches). This is the bare bones minimum to do each day. You can search for anything really; they don't filter or check or anything like that. Usually daily other offers are available for points, 99% being simply 'click here, get points' type of things. If you are consistent and use the rewards program daily, you will be able to achieve silver and gold status. These additional status' give you additional benefits such as cheaper items to get with your reward points, and the ever illustrious bragging rights.

Square Mixed-Herb Wreath
- Exclusive
- Online Only
- Vendor Shipped
- Summary
Cooks and gardeners will delight in this fragrant wreath of culinary herbs and other air-dried botanicals in a distinctive square shape. Scarlet dried chiles de arbol are arranged with painterly skill, interspersed with fresh bay leaves, dried marjoram, purple Mexican sage, double feverfew, orange safflower and yarrow. Hand made on a family-owned farm in California, the wreath's herbs are all grown without herbicides or pesticides. Intended for decorative use only. Protect from weather. 15" sq. A Williams Sonoma exclusive.
- Use & Care
- Upon receipt, carefully cut the cable ties securing the wreath and gently remove it from the box.
- The fresh and dried natural materials used in the wreath are intended for display indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat, which will cause the materials to fade in color and become fragile. As fresh botanicals age, it is natural for their colors to fade and their leaves to curl slightly.
- If your wreath is mounted on an interior door, we recommend attaching it in two places to prevent it from bouncing against the door when the door is opened or closed.
- It is normal for natural materials to shed. The extra fullness of the piece is intended to compensate for any unavoidable shedding during shipping. To minimize shedding, it is best to not move the arrangement once it has been hung.
- To clean your wreath, lightly dust its leaves with a soft paintbrush or feather duster.
- To store your wreath, we recommend lightly wrapping it in tissue paper and storing it flat in the box in which it arrived or a box of comparable size.
- With proper care, the wreath will last approximately 1 year. For decorative purposes only.
- Shipping

Rated 4 out of 5 by KaylaBoston from Very pretty (colors not as vibrant as photo) This wreath was a solid purchase for the price. I bought it about a year ago, and display it on my the front door (interior). I love the uniqueness of its square shape, and receive lots of compliments. *** Please note that hanging a square wreath takes great patience to get it level.**** It is very pretty, however the colors are definitely not as vibrant as WS website ad stock photo. It has a subtle fragrance. The wreath did flake a bit for the first couple months, esp with movement of the door. I considered using a clear spray shellac, but I noticed that the dry flaking stopped after the first few months of ownership (see photo). It held-up nicely while in storage, while was displaying other wreaths in my collection.Date published: 2017-01-29Rated 1 out of 5 by Goldsmom from Very dull colors, broken flower stems! Really looked forward to getting this wreath, but it arrived looking dull, old, and as if it had been stacked under other wreaths--flower stems were crushed and broken, everything looked compressed, and it just looked dusty!Date published: 2016-06-11

According to a study reported in the Lancet, GLA-rich evening primrose oil was found effective in controlling rheumatoid arthritis in a substantial number of patients. Some 90 percent of patients who took evening primrose oil felt better within two to four months, and more than 80 percent either stopped taking their anti-inflammatory drugs or were able to reduce the amount of drugs they were taking.
In another study, rheumatoid arthritis patients were given 540 mg GLA and 240 mg EPA. After a year, those who received this dosage had reduced their amount of anti-inflammatory medicine significantly.
Researchers recommend 3,000-6,000 mg of evening primrose oil (EPO) per day, which provides about 270-540 mg of GLA.

If you have Middle Eastern heritage, your connection with the Western Hemisphere goes back much further than your ancestors' first landing on American shores. It stretches back even earlier than 1777, when Morocco was the first nation to recognize the nascent American government, or 1492, when Columbus set sail with an Arab translator in anticipation of meeting East Indians. Some petroglyphs and ancient writings archaeologists have found in the US Southwest bear similarities to hieroglyphics and Arabic letters from the same era — suggesting Phoenicians and Northern Africans may have beaten Columbus to the punch by at least 2,000 years.
These early contacts set a standard of sorts for the Arabs who began settling here in the 1870s, and it applies today to most everything in Arab family history: Defy expectations. Ninety percent of early Arab immigrants to North America weren't Muslims, but Christians from the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Rite Catholic churches. Many came from Greater Syria, with liturgical languages including Greek and Syriac as well as Arabic. Even the meaning of Arab is up for debate. Some use it to describe a native Arabic speaker from Syria, Lebanon, Algeria or another traditionally Arab country in the Middle East or North Africa. But others point to the region's many distinct ethnic, cultural and religious groups: Assyrians, Phoenicians, Jews, Copts, Maronites, Syriacs and Druze, among others, some of whom have asserted their non-Arab identities. To further muddy the waters, Maronite and Assyrian immigrants hailed mostly from the rugged Mount Lebanon range above Beirut, and began identifying themselves as Lebanese after World War I, when France carved out Lebanon as a separate state.

Plain English campaign news articles
Nanny McPhee - bull or champion?

The annual awards are coming and the jargon is pouring in - particularly a number of nominations for Emma Thompson, the actress, who recently spoke out against the sloppy language of teenagers.
You can read a report of her comments in the Mail Online.
It must be the first time that the same person and the same comment has been nominated for both the good and bad categories of our awards. And that divided public opinion is reflected within the campaign's offices.
Too few houses, too many words

The housing market is being attacked on all fronts with buyers struggling to get mortgages and house prices dropping by £200 each day in the last month alone.
This means the rental market is under greater pressure.Tenants and landlords are faced with worrying contractual responsibilities. Landlords face the possibility of being caught with a tenant and no rent as a result of unemployment and redundancies. Equally, tenants face confusion over their responsibilities in times of crisis. And where there is confusion, there is opportunity for some to take advantage of the vulnerable – whether landlords or tenants.
Plain English and the HMRC

Plain English won't solve this one, but plain common sense is a start
Despite the current tax-code fiasco, and the ensuing media backlash, in the last 15 years Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC) have made some surprising and impressive improvements to their communications with taxpayers.
When Plain English Campaign started, we were involved with reviewing hundreds of thousands of government documents. Some of these documents included tax information and we were proud to welcome HMRC on board as one of our earliest corporate members. We eventually worked on a major document
- 'How to fill in your tax return' - in 1996 and have trained many HMRC employees since then.
This gives us all the more reason to feel extremely disappointed by recent public communications from HMRC, as those early years of investment and effort appear to have been forgotten.
Chrissie Maher, founder of Plain English Campaign, says, 'This isn't the first time that the campaign has had to give the tax system a good shaking.
Only a couple of years ago we provided a plain English explanation of the 10p tax band after we were overwhelmed with complaints from the public.

What was the deal with this rather stunning accusation—presented without a byline—of anti-Semitism at the vaunted magazine?
Why is it that we have had so much trouble uttering one simple word: "anti-Semitism"?
Is it anti-Semitism, or are less insidious cultural forces at work?
So instead of combining anti-Semitism with anti-Zionism, Murdoch combined anti-Semitism with super-Zionism.
It would be as absurd to accuse me of anti-Semitism for alluding to the fact that the Rothschilds or Warburgs were Jews.
The only other country in Europe in which a legalized anti-Semitism exists is Rumania.
anti-Semitism would be simply ridiculous if it were not so terribly in earnest.
The old Junker anti-Semitism received a great impulse from the collapse of thrones which followed the Armistice of 1918.
Another of Chesterton's intellectual aberrations is his anti-Semitism.
He took a worthy part in the struggle against anti-Semitism.
also antisemitism, 1881, from German Antisemitismus, first used by Wilhelm Marr (1819-1904) German radical, nationalist and race-agitator, who founded the Antisemiten-Liga in 1879; see anti- + Semite.
Not etymologically restricted to anti-Jewish theories, actions, or policies, but almost always used in this sense. Those who object to the inaccuracy of the term might try Hermann Adler's Judaeophobia (1882). Anti-Semitic (also antisemitic) and anti-Semite (also antisemite) also are from 1881, like anti-Semitism they appear first in English in an article in the "Athenaeum" of Sept. 31, in reference to German literature.
Prejudice or hatred against Jews, a Semitic race. (See Arab-Israeli conflict and Nazis.)

ac·co·lade (k-ld, -läd)
a. An expression of approval; praise.
b. A special acknowledgment; an award.
2. A ceremonial embrace, as of greeting or salutation.
3. Ceremonial bestowal of knighthood.
tr.v. ac·co·lad·ed, ac·co·lad·ing, ac·co·lades
To praise or honor: "His works are invariably accoladed as definitive even as they sparkle and spark" Malcolm S. Forbes.
[French, an embrace, accolade, from accoler, to embrace, from Old French acoler, from Vulgar Latin *accolre : Latin ad-, ad- + Latin collum, neck; see kwel-1 in Indo-European roots.]
Word History: People usually have to stick their necks out to earn accolades, and this is as it should be. In tracing accolade back to its Latin origins, we find that it was formed from the prefix ad-, "to, on," and the noun collum, "neck," which may bring the word collar to mind. From these elements came the Vulgar Latin word *accollre, which was the source of French accolade, "an embrace." An embrace was originally given to a knight when dubbing him, a fact that accounts for accolade having the technical sense "ceremonial bestowal of knighthood," the sense in which the word is first recorded in English in 1623.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
The wax in your ears is secreted by glands in the skin that lines the outer half of your ear canals. The wax and tiny hairs in these passages trap dust and other foreign particles that could damage deeper structures, such as your eardrum.
In most people, a small amount of earwax regularly makes its way to the opening of the ear, where it's washed away or falls out as new wax is secreted to replace it. If you secrete an excessive amount of wax or if earwax isn't cleared effectively, it may build up and block your ear canal.
Earwax blockages commonly occur when people try to clean their ears on their own by placing cotton swabs or other items in their ears. This often just pushes wax deeper into the ear, rather than removing it.
