A nightclub-goer was punched so hard after an argument about queue-jumping that a piece of bone in his nose severed an artery, leaving him requiring a blood transfusion.
An altercation occurred in the queue for the smoking area at Tru, in Camberley High Street, at around 2am on October 5 last year, after two men from Aldershot tried to jump the queue.
Guildford Crown Court heard on June 26 that James Mahabeer, 23, of Cambridge Road, threw punches on the stairs before fleeing the club.
He was jailed for 14 months, having pleaded guilty to assault occasioning grievous bodily harm and common assault.
Rameich Palmer, 22, of Middle Hill, admitted a lesser charge of affray after it was decided he had played a minor role in the violence, despite initiating it.
The court heard the argument happened after Mahabeer and Palmer were sent to the back of the queue after trying to push in further along the line, where they were challenged by fellow customers Matthew Bowring and Fraser Bracey.
Punches were thrown, including one from Mahabeer that broke Mr Bowring's nose. It fractured a bone which sliced through an artery, causing him to bleed heavily for more than an hour and be taken to hospital for a transfusion and operation.
Mahabeer, who has previous convictions for theft and public order matters, accepted he threw the punch when he was shown CCTV footage, but said he could not understand how it caused such injuries.
After the attack, Palmer was held back by door staff at Tru while Mahabeer ran outside, where he got into a further altercation and slapped another man, cutting his lip.
Mariska van Leeuwen, defending Mahabeer, said he had worked for Berkeley Homes for three years.
"He is very important in terms of his mum having a roof over her head, as he assists in paying the mortgage," she said. "He is deeply regretful of his actions."
Palmer, represented by Richard Mobbs, was said to be a talented athlete who had never been involved in such serious offences before and was "in fear" of a prison sentence.
He suffered a panic attack as he entered his guilty plea at the court during a previous hearing.
"This has been an extremely sobering experience for him," said Mr Mobbs.
"The incident can best be described as stemming from too much alcohol and too much testosterone."
Judge Christopher Critchlow QC sentenced Mahabeer to 14 months in prison for GBH and two months concurrent for common assault, saying: "This sort of violence cannot go unpunished."
Mahabeer must also pay a £120 surcharge. Palmer was visibly relieved as he was told he would be receiving an eight-month sentence, suspended for two years.
"You are someone I am satisfied is full of remorse about what has happened," said Judge Critchlow, who added Palmer should consider himself "very lucky" not to be sent to prison.
He was told to complete 140 hours of unpaid work, pay £500 in compensation to the victims and a £100 surcharge.

Published: May 29, 2014 at 2:51 PMThis is a great, great, great article! I just got my MBA and we were assigned many case studies that required us to use various frameworks (Porter's 5 Forces was always my go to) to analyze industry rivalry. I would have loved having Disney and the rest of the theme park industry as one of my cases. Robert, your article sets it up perfectly for this type of discussion. I could go on and on about why Disney is the clear market leader from economies of scale to barriers to entry, but you really hit the nail on the head with their core competency of providing their customers with a unique experience (along with brand equity and customer loyalty). In my opinion, Disney's unique experience lies within their ability to provide guests with an enveloping sense of a 'magical' environment in which guests can completely lose themselves in. Up until Universal's IOA and the addition of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Disney had the only parks with that level of attention to detail (logistics, architecture, staff, sight, sound, smell, etc). With that being said, I do think that Disney has left some market share on the table. I believe that the extreme crowds of late has left Disney Parks slightly haggard. I have been reading more and more comments about customer service not being what it used to, rides are down more frequently or getting dated, and attractions aren't as innovative as they should be. This leaves the door open for Universal to swoop in and steal customers especially if they create more environments like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter which (in my eyes) matches that core competency of a unique fully immersive experience. I very much look forward to your post discussing Universal's ultimate goal to one-up Disney.
Published: May 29, 2014 at 7:32 PMWell yes you can substitute...my family in our first year in Orlando had Annual Passes for Disney. For the 3 years since we switched to Universal & SeaWorld with Aquatica passes.
We have since upgraded to Universal Premier Passes and only do the Disney's Spring Florida Resident for 3 days for $129 each.
Overall the option to have no blackout dates with better perks for a comparable venue made it compelling.
Published: May 30, 2014 at 7:25 AMJust read this article and had to mentioln that they are doing it at Paris as well. In one of Fridays daily papers in the UK ther is a story regarding the huge price difference between what french families pay and what uk families pay when they book through the respective versions of the disney site. Apparently the difference can be up to £500 pounds more that uk families get ripped off, sorry, charged for the same holiday. That being said, I personally havn't been to paris for a long time and now would not go back after reading this and also due to the less than good report from my sister who visited with her kids last easter, shabby, badly run/organised with rides that kept breaking down were the main points she made. The article is in The Sun, a british tabloid paper on 30/5/2014
Published: May 30, 2014 at 11:05 AMI think Disney World is walking on very thin ice, more then they realize. Team Disney Orlando has done a poor job keeping the parks new and vibrant. Everyone knows the Magic Kingdom will always be top dog, however I predict once Diagon Alley opens, followed by King Kong, follwed by the rumored Jarassic Park expansion, people will drop a day or two from DIsney. Disney World just seems to not be able to get projects off the gound and complete in a timly fashion. With nothing new added to the parks, (Fanasty Land--pretty, but lacking anything amazing) DIsney will lose attendance at the Studios, Animal Kingdom, and possibly EPCOT. The annual pass rates for Disney are expensive and they are getting to be just not enough bang for your buck (unless your a fan boy that thinks Disney can do no wrong.) Universal offers their annual pass members a good price point, giving them 15 to 20% on food and merchandise at EVERY location. The premium pass gets you free valet parking and a Halloween Horror nights ticket...Sorry DIsney, but my money is going elsewhere...
Published: May 31, 2014 at 12:21 PMTourists, who visit Disney mostly for character meet and greets, are definitely locked into visiting Disney parks. But what about locals and tourists who visit Disney because they want to experience great rides in a themed environment? Knott's Berry Farm and Universal Studios could be great substitutes for this type of customer.
I can't understand why Knott's Berry Farm or Universal has not created their own versions of Space Mountain and Toy Story Midway Mania. People often wait hours to ride these attractions. There is a huge unsatisfied demand for these products. It appears that Disney would rather raise prices and lose some of these customers, instead of investing money to increase ride capacity.
Published: June 3, 2014 at 7:53 AMVery good article. The Theme Park industry is clearly ripe for a number of economics or MBA term papers, theses, or books.
Disney has demonstrated "pricing power" - they can raise their prices without a significant adverse impact on demand. Looking at Walt Disney World, it is interesting to observe how prices are discounted for multiday passes. A one day pass to the Magic Kingdom is $99, two days at Disney parks is $188, and three days is $274 (still over $90 per day). However, day 4 is $20 per day, day 5 and beyond are $10 per day. Basically, Disney feels it has pricing power until Day 3, then it has to discount steeply in order to generate additional park visits. At that point, many guests are presumably ready to check out the competition, find a non-theme park activity, or go home.

CryZe replied to B_old's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingNon-metallic materials are achromatic most of a time and thus don't cause the reflections to be colored in any way. In their implementation the more the material is metallic, the more its reflections are colored by the diffuse color. Also the more metallic the material is, the stronger it reflects light in a specular way.
CryZe replied to bybw's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI had the same idea some time ago as well, but actually there's no need to encode the screen spaced approximated visibility function into SH basis. They do it because they need to pass over the function from one pass to the other (DSSDO -> Lighting). It would be way better, if you just sampled the screen space along the direction of the light and lerp the lights color with the occluders color based on how sure the algorithm is, that the occluder is actually occluding the light. This way there's no need for any spherical harmonics, as you have the full screen space approximated visibility function (technically it's more than just a visibility function, as you can get chromatic information) and you can use that and put it into your rendering equation.
CryZe replied to lipsryme's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThe way it works with the geometry shader, is, that you project each vertex inside the geometry shader onto the different sides and than output the resulting vertices with a SV_RenderTargetArrayIndex semantic which represents which side the projected vertex you are outputting is on.
CryZe replied to L. Spiro's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingNo need for random directions - just use spherical coordinates (and if your BRDF is isotropic, you only need the elevation). Every time you use dot(L, N) in your shader, use cos(theta), and so on. And then you can just integrate it numerically in Mathematica or something. I don't have a source for this, but I *think* using this approach actually introduces a bias towards the poles. Assuming an unstratified sampling pattern. If you keep in mind following you can use it without any problem: [eqn]\int_{\Omega} (\mathrm{n}\cdot \omega) \; \mathrm{d} \omega=\int_\theta \int_\phi cos(\theta)sin(\theta) \; \mathrm{d} \phi \; \mathrm{d} \theta[/eqn]
I guess that's the problem. The thing is that it should include the view direction as well, since fresnel's law applies as well, when the light is scattering out of the surface to the viewer's direction and not just when light is scattering into the surface. Just take a look at section 5.3 in http://disney-animation.s3.amazonaws.com/library/s2012_pbs_disney_brdf_notes_v2.pdf Their diffuse model is applying their modified fresnel 2 times, once for the view direction and once for the light direction.
Not quite. If you assume that your surface is perfectly flat, your microfacet distribution, as you mentioned, returns 1 where N=H and 0 where N!=H, and thus your BRDF only returns a value other than 0, when N=H. But H is still calculated from L and V. So LDotH and VDotH are still the same (because that's always the case, since H is the halfway vector). But your BRDF requires H to be N to return a value other than 0. But if that's the case, LDotH is the same as LDotN, and VDotH is the same as VDotN. But since LDotH and VDotH are the same, LDotN and VDotN are the same as well. And thus, Helmholtz reciprocity still applies in this case. Yeah, I don't know. Something is really weird in the situation Hodgman pointed out :(
I think Helmholtz reciprocity doesn't apply to diffuse light at all, because diffuse light actually is the same as subsurface scattering, just in such a small scale, that one can approximate it by evaluating it at the entrance point. Diffuse light is the light scattering inside the surface, which is simply specular reflection thousands of times inside the surface. Helmholtz reciprocity isn't supposed to be correct for this process, because it's not just a single reflection. But it works for all the little specular reflections inside the material and the "macro" specular reflection on the surface. And it works for cook torrance: The halfway vector is the same whether you calculate it from (L+V)/length(L+V) or (V+L)/length(V+L), and thus the microfacet distribution function returns the same value, since it relies on NDotH. Fresnel relies on LDotH, but that's the same as VDotH. And the geometric term is the multiplication of the "sub geometric term", one time calculated for NDotV, and one time calculated for NDotL, and since scalar multiplication is commutative, the result is the same whether you switch NDotV and NDotL, or not. The same applies to the NDotL * NDotV in the denominator of cook torrance.
Yep, the BRDF needs both the PI and the division by NDotL, while the implementation in a standard shader doesn't need those.
CryZe replied to zerozero987's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingRecent Mario Games make heavy use of Rim Lighting which also seems to be multiplied with a "rim reflectance texture". It looks like they might also make use of some environment maps to create this look. I actually doubt, that they are using any traditional lighting methods at all.
The only difference between mine and your GGX, is that I'm using the Walter GGX geometric term which is specifically calculated using Smith's "blackbox" function to convert any distribution function into a perfectly matching geometric term. The thing is, that the cook torrance geometric term is more or less completely absurd and unrealistic, because the shadowing and masking should be dependent on the microfacet distribution, but the cook torrance geometric term completely ignores that. That's why you get that unrealistic cut at 45 degrees. I'd recommend you take a look at Naty Hoffmann's presentation and Disney's presentation at http://blog.selfshadow.com/publications/s2012-shading-course/. You should also check out Disney's BRDF Explorer and the MERL database. With the BRDF explorer, you can validate how well your BRDF matches actual materials from the MERL database. Also, your GGX is the correctly normalized version ;)
I've approximated the diffuse transmittance integral and created a BRDF which is pretty lightweight but also pretty physically accurate. Use this instead of Lambert if you want to have proper energy conservation. It's based on GGX roughness though, so you might need to convert your roughness to GGX roughness: It's actually just a single MAD instruction per light if you implement it, the rest can be done on a per pixel basis.
You can improve this part of the code this way: float g_min = min(NdotV, NdotL); float G = saturate(2 * NdotH * g_min / VdotH);Also, don't ever use max(0, dot(a, b)). Instead use saturate(dot(a, b)) which compiles into a single instruction. It is, but is using the complement of Fspecular actually a good one? I don't think so (unless you're using Fdiffuse). I think someone should approximate a diffuse BRDF using the equation I posted in my post above. That would be a way better approximation. To get back to the original topic: The last one is the correct Cook-Torrance microfacet model. Sometimes you find (ns + 2) / (2 * pi) or (ns + 2) / (8 * pi) as the normalization factor for Blinn-Phong. The second one is already pre-multiplied with the 1/4 while the first one is the distribution function for the microfacet model. And this one is the correct Beckmann NDF: I wouldn't recommend the Beckmann NDF though. It's pretty damn slow in comparison to other NDFs because of 2 reciprocals and the exponential function. (Y u no use GGX xD) This is the BRDF I'm using: I'm using GGX as the distribution function, Schlick's approximation of fresnel as fresnel term and Walter's geometric term for the GGX distribution function. I color-coded everything for implementation details. The grey parts are just parts of the BRDF and don't need to be implemented. The green parts can be calculated once for every pixel. And the red parts are the only parts, that actually need to be calculated for every light.
Tiago, that's an approximation, even with the real Fresnel equations, but is not really correct. Fresnel is dependent on the microfacets oriented towards the halfway vector, but diffuse actually is all the light that is not being reflected, not being absorbed and scattered back out, independent of the microfacets oriented towards the halfway vector. So simply the complement of a single fresnel value won't do it. You would need to solve the integral over all the microfacet orientations with a modified microfacet model: Your approximation might actually be worse than not having a factor for diffuse at all. If anything I'd use the macro surface normal instead of the halfway vector (just for diffuse though, for specular you should use the microfacet normal):
I know this website, I've used it quite some time before :) I just wanted to let you know, that you need to work with all the 3 channels and the complex numbers. Like I said, you could do it per pixel, per vertex or per draw call on the CPU and simply input f0 and maybe also cf0 into the shader as constants. It depends on where you get your values. If n2Red, n2Green, n2Blue would be stored in a texture, you would have to do it per pixel, or you bake your f0 values into a texture and use the baked texture instead. But if you can do it per draw call, go ahead and calculate it on the cpu. Yes, that should be enough. You should worry more about the microfacets though. Blinn-Phong is not such a good distribution term for metals and even more important is shadowing and masking of the microfacets: the geometry / visibility term.
Oh wait, you want to do metals with the fresnel equations? If that's the case, your formula from the other thread won't work. Metals usually have complex reflective indices (complex numbers). Fresnel's equations work with complex numbers though, your implementation just doesn't. You need complex multiplication, complex addition and the absolute value (which you didn't implement) needs to work with complex numbers as well. Also since metals have chromatic reflections you would have to calculate your fresnel term for all 3 color channels. I'd use Schlick's approximation, reduce most of it to constant time, and reduce other parts of the formula to scalar calculations, while only the necessary parts get calculated for all color channels. Here's approximately how that code should look like. You should probably calculate the constant part per vertex or per draw call on the CPU, if possible: float2 f0CmplxRed = cmplxDiv(cmplxSub(n1Red, n2Red), cmplxAdd(n1Red, n2Red)); float2 f0CmplxGreen = cmplxDiv(cmplxSub(n1Green, n2Green), cmplxAdd(n1Green, n2Green)); float2 f0CmplxBlue = cmplxDiv(cmplxSub(n1Blue, n2Blue), cmplxAdd(n1Blue, n2Blue)); float3 f0Sqrt = 0; f0Sqrt.r = cmplxAbs(f0CmplxRed); f0Sqrt.g = cmplxAbs(f0CmplxGreen); f0Sqrt.b = cmplxAbs(f0CmplxBlue); float3 f0 = f0Sqrt * f0Sqrt; float3 cf0 = 1 - f0; foreach (light) { float factor = pow(1 - dot(L, H), 5); float3 fresnel = f0 + cf0 * factor; }

Low-income, Hispanic, Asian and Pacific Islander eighth-graders in Utah made big gains in reading this year, bumping up Utah's score on The Nation's Report Card.
Eighth-graders overall, however, performed about the same in math as they did in 2011, and on par with the national average.
Fourth-graders, likewise, were at about the national average in math and reading and showed little improvement in the two years, according to National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) tests.
Every two years, schools test a sample of students in fourth and eighth grades so the U.S. Department of Education can track achievement in each of the states.
In Utah, roughly 3,000 students in fourth grade and 3,000 eighth-graders took the tests in math, and a similar number took the reading tests.
This year's gain of three points in the Utah eighth-grade reading test score average from 267 to 270 on a zero to 500 scale was largely due to improvements in low-income and ethnic minority students' achievement.
Hispanic students' reading scores went from 247 to 256 and Asian and Pacific Islander student scores rose from 257 to 264. Average scores for black and American Indian students were not reported because too few took the test.
Eighth-graders from low-income homes also saw big gains, scoring 260 on reading, up from 254 two years ago.
Mark Peterson, spokesman for the Utah Office of Education, said the results show that focused, individual attention on kids who struggle with reading is beginning to pay off.
"Utah is a lot more diverse than it used to be and it's a matter of training teachers to deal with the new classroom," he said. "We're getting better at interventions and focusing them on the populations that need them."
White students comprise 77 percent of Utah's eighth grade population; Hispanics are 15 percent and Asians and Pacific Islanders are 4 percent. Thirty-seven percent of eighth-graders are from low-income homes, which means they qualify for free or reduced price lunches.
Utah's eighth-graders scored 284 this year in math, up from 283, although the National Center for Education Statistics considered that bump insignificant. The national average mirrored Utah's at 284.
In math, Utah's fourth-graders scored exactly the same 243 this year as they did two years earlier. Nationally, fourth-graders averaged scores of 241.
In reading, Utah's fourth-graders scored 223, up from 220 in 2011, a gain again considered insignificant by the center. The national average was 221.

Ratings for Dr. Alan Byrne
Love Dr. Byrne, he's just amazing caring, and takes time to listen. Love Andrea too, she listens and really cares.
Sent my son away to soak an ingrown toenail in Epsom salts. My son explained to him that he had been doing that for months and had just finished 10 days of antibiotics for cellulitis in the toes. . Doctor did not change his plan of care. Told him to book another appt for 5 weeks later. Three days after the appt he developed cellulitis in it again and was told to go to emerg by a walk in clinic doctor because it was so bad. Ended up needing another 10 days of antibiotics. In the end, we had to pay out of pocket to get it properly treated. Glad he got the OHIP $$$ for a "consult".
This doctor has shaky hands, no bedside manner and should retire. He performed a procedure during a routine exam without bothering to warn me first! Unbelievable. It felt like I was being assaulted. The nurse apologized profusely, but it wasn't nearly enough to make me go back to him.
I have had Dr. Alan Byrne for many years. He is a brilliant diagnostician and a very caring, compassionate doctor who listens when you talk to him. He practices medicine with hands on examination rather than just listening to patient give symptoms .I can not recommend him highly enough and would put my life in his hands always and my family (which I have many times
Dr Byrne is my hero,he removed a ingrown toe nail and will do the second one in a week.I debated for 30 years as I hate needles but the Dr reassured me he would be fine and it was.His secretary Andrea was very helpful by putting me on the cancellation list which worked out great.Thank you both Andrea and Dr Byrne.
I have a condition called Diverticulitis and Byrne saw me in the hospital, and a follow up at his office. Four months later the symptoms came back and when I called his office on Monday morning his assistant got him on the phone and he urged me to come right into his office., over his lunch break. I believe this Dr to be very committed to his patients and very experienced. Yes he is older, I wouldn't be surprised to see his hands shake (read below) but have not witnessed this. He has yet to operate on me, however when he does I believe he will perform the surgery with care and skill.
I had to get something removed on my skin. Drove down to oakville... 45 min of traffic the whole way. Waited in the outpatient room for an hour. Got dressed in a gown. Waited in another room. He finally showed up tried to find it with his shaky hands and said it's too small to operate on. I then had to pay 10 for parking. Total waste of time, guess he's happy that he got paid to do nothing.
Ok...he was my mother's surgeon. There were issues but somebody else mentioning his hands shaking is troublesome. My mother mentioned the same thing in 2000 when he gave her the results of a test. I agree with the rating from Feb 2014.
Patient beware with this doctor. He gives you no time in 5-minute appointment for questions or answers, just books the surgery. How can a patient sign a consent form when there is no opportunity for answers or discussion on exactly what will happen? Also, his hand shakes when writing, so how can he perform surgery? I agree with others that it is time for this doctor to retire.
Recently, Dr. Alan Byrne saved my life by removing an invasive breast carcinoma. Prior to the surgery, a biopsy was taken painlessly. Waiting time was critical for me. My request to put me on cancellation list was kindly accommodated. As result I waited for surgery only two weeks after receiving my biopsy results. Now I can see that my scars are accurate. I was very nervous but the doctor's confidence helped me to go through surgery. I am grateful for the doctor's patience and kindness to me during this difficult time. His assistants were as friendly and helpful as possible.

196 algorithm
Hi Hans,
Regarding your post here:
You may be interested in my page:
The way to speed up the algorithm is to use a real compiler, and use an
array to store individual digits. There are methods for improvement beyond
this, but this is the main thing you need to concentrate on.
I have personally taken the quest to 13 million digits, and have passed it
on - the current record is over 30 million!

Tabarez hails 'extraordinary' Suarez
Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez has paid tribute to Liverpool striker Luis Suarez after he netted all four goals on Friday night when Uruguay beat Chile 4-0 in their 2014 World Cup qualifier.
• WCQ CONMEBOL: Suarez nets four
Suarez is expected to start at the Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday evening as Uruguay take on Italy in a friendly game and, despite criticism that he has not had the impact that many expected of him at Anfield this season, Tabarez was full of praise for his 'extraordinary' star.
"I don't understand how people can still be surprised by Suarez. This kid is achieving incredible things and it is exciting to watch him play," he said.
"I remember he had a few problems when he first started at Nacional, then he exploded in Holland with Groningen and Ajax. He became captain in Amsterdam and now is starring for Liverpool. He's extraordinary."
Suarez, who was named the player of the tournament in Uruguay's successful Copa America campaign over the summer, has a tremendous goalscoring record in internationals - bagging 26 goals 52 appearances for La Celeste.

Australian actors Paul Mercurio, Michael Veitch and Matt Hetherington will bare all when Broadway's musical version of the smash hit British movie, The Full Monty, has its Australian premiere in Melbourne in October.
The low-budget 1997 film directed by Peter Cattaneo, The Full Monty is a comedy about six unemployed steel workers in Sheffield who create a male stripper act to earn money.
All but one actor to play the male strippers in the Australian production have been confirmed. Mercurio shot to fame in the 1992 Baz Luhrmann hit film, Strictly Ballroom, Veitch is a Melbourne-based comedy actor and Hetherington is in the current production of Hair.
The Full Monty musical, to be produced by David Atkins Enterprises, IMG and ICA, will open at Her Majesty's Theatre on October 25. Rehearsals are due to start in late August or early September.
To be directed by New York-based Matt August, it will also star Rowena Wallace and Val Jellay.
The US stage production is based in Buffalo, New York. Leading Broadway writer Terrence McNally adapted the musical, with music and lyrics by David Yazbek.
Atkins said a three to four-month season was planned for Melbourne, followed by Brisbane and Sydney. "We're banking on the success of the film, which was a huge hit," he said. "It was received very well here and everyone remembers it."
Atkins described The Full Monty as a working-class story with humour and many appealing themes including human interest, self-esteem issues and family relationships.
The Full Monty musical ran for almost two years on Broadway and eight months in London's West End.
During the brief nude scene at the end of The Full Monty, in Broadway and London, strong lights were aimed at the audience directly after the opportune moment. Atkins said the same lighting would be used in Australia - so blink and you will miss out.

Kelly's consolation: British Open
Kelly pars No. 17
Troy Kelly sinks a 22-foot putt to save par on the par-5 17th hole during a playoff before losing one hole later.
By Brian Wacker, PGATOUR.COM
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. -- Not all was bad for Troy Kelly, who lost on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff Sunday at The Greenbrier Classic.
By finishing second, the 33-year-old journeyman earned a spot in the field at Royal Lytham & St. Annes in two weeks.
Kelly will be joined by Marc Leishman and the player Kelly lost to, Ted Potter Jr. Leishman and Potter punched their tickets via a six-tournament min-money list that ended this week. Kelly earned his spot by being the top finisher here not otherwise eligible.
Similarly, the top finisher in next week's John Deere Classic not otherwise eligible will also earn a spot in the British Open.
Not that Kelly wouldn't have minded trading places with Potter.
He almost did, too.
Kelly's second shot to the par-5 17th ran through the green and down an embankment, but he chipped to 10 feet. He missed the birdie putt, however, and would par the 18th as well.
"I had a good look at it, actually just pushed it a little bit," Kelly said of the putt. "I needed that, it just wasn't a great stroke. But I made a lot of good strokes. It's an improvement from what I've been doing, so it's something to build off."
Kelly, who got his PGA TOUR card after finishing 11th on the Web.com Tour money list last year, will play in his first British Open in two weeks. He'll also likely get into some other tournaments.
"Just believe in myself," Kelly said when asked what he learned from being in contention for the first time. "I think that's a huge thing in golf, is to really believe in yourself, and I think that's one thing that Tiger and those guys, Phil and all these great players, they really believe in themselves. When you're coming down the stretch, you've got to look back on things that you've had success in and just believe in yourself to hit those shots again."

SPORTING a tattoo of Glazebury Cricket Club on his back and arm is a source of pride for Andy Calvert after 17 years of playing for the team.
But, it will be a battle of emotions for the 25-year-old when his tattoos will be covered up by a Rylands Cricket Club shirt on May 11.
The cricket-mad dad of two has signed to Rylands for the new season after 17 years of loyal service to his beloved Glazebury Cricket Club.
The two teams will face each other for the first time this season since Andy joined Rylands next month.
Andy, from Padgate, said: "I imagine it will be quite strange playing against Glazebury after many years on the other side but I'm very excited to take them on.
"Glazebury's captain Jack Warhurst sees my move up town to the Warrington rivals as cheating on the village club after all these years but I'm sure he'll forgive me and enjoy the battle."
Andy, who captained Glazebury Cricket Club for two years, decided to join Rylands after moving house with his partner Nicole Munday and two children, Evie, aged six months, and Charlie, aged two to Pinewood Avenue.
Looking back on his time at Glazebury Cricket Club, Andy counts his time as captain as one of the most challenging but rewarding times of his life.
His love for Glazebury started when he joined the team aged nine and it grew to such heights that he was willing to put a permanent reminder of his love for the team on his body.
"I got the tattoos when I was on a lads holiday in Turkey in 2007 and then again in 2010. I won't try and pretend that alcohol wasn't involved," joked Andy.
Now Andy is getting ready to face his former team mates turned rivals next month.
He added: "There is a lot of loyalty at Glazebury Cricket Club so I expect a lot of hostility when I get to the wicket but I'm sure we'll be able to enjoy a pint after the game."

"I could not imagine a path that would have done more to prepare me for my future career in business. A liberal arts education, specifically in History at Western Illinois University, prepared me thoroughly to compete in the business world. At Western I learned to think critically, to adapt, and in short, to learn. Through this process the foundation was set for success throughout my career. . . . The world changes so quickly that it is virtually impossible to teach someone a skill that will still be in demand even five years after graduation, let alone twenty. However, if the foundation is set establishing the desire and ability to learn, adapt, and change, one graduates with the skills necessary to be successful in any endeavor they choose. My degree in History from WIU gave me that foundation.-- Matt Miller, 2008 Distinguished History Alum

The Abbott government's plans to cut budget spending risks pushing the unemployment rate to a 10-year high, economists warn.
Employment fell by 23,000 jobs in December, dominated by a fall in full-time positions, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Overall employment has been trending down since March last year, as a high dollar has squeezed manufacturing and the mining boom has come off the boil.
Although the unemployment rate remained steady at 5.8 per cent last month, the number of unemployed rose by 8000 people, causing the Australian dollar to fall by US1c to a three-year low below US88¢.
Economists said a fall in the labour force participation rate to its lowest level since 2006 was all that kept the unemployment rate from finishing the year above the 6 per cent level, which has not been seen since 2003. The official mid-year budget update released before Christmas tipped that the jobless rate would rise to drift up to 6.25 per cent by mid-2015.
"It certainly is a consideration about how aggressively the federal government can cut spending, given the softness we're seeing in the labour market," former Reserve Bank of Australia economist and Macquarie Bank senior economist Brian Redican said.
"Clearly the direct effect of spending cuts is less spending in the economy and there will be less employment as a result of that,'' Mr Redican said.
"The question is whether the potential benefits of that less spending, lower interest rates for example, provide a bit of an offset. While they might provide an offset, usually the benefit is further out. Whereas the spending cuts start affecting employment negatively immediately."
The government has signalled across-the-board fiscal tightening in the coming May budget following recommendations from its Commission of Audit, in an effort to avoid what it says could be decades of massive deficits.
labour market figures weak across the board
"Today's labour market figures were weak across the board and the only consolation is that employment is a lagging indicator and perhaps this reflects weakness in the economy earlier in 2013. At this stage the jury is still out," Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry acting chief economist Burchell Wilson said.
"With the economy bleeding jobs and the mining boom heading into reverse, these figures are a warning against complacency. Signs that the labour market continues to soften should enliven consideration of the need for further interest rate cuts if the trend deepens."
The employment reading forced traders to downgrade their expectations of imminent interest rate rises, although the RBA has previously signalled it is aware of a softening in the jobs market and most economists do not believe the bank is yet willing to cut rates below their current record low level of 2.5 per cent. "The RBA's preference is for further stimulus to the economy to come via a lower Australian dollar, rather than additional cuts to the cash rate. The Australian dollar looks content to sit below US90¢ and that will provide a boost to domestic businesses," Commonwealth Bank economist Gareth Aird said.
Labor jumped on the release of the figures, arguing they were a "reality check" for Prime Minister
"Since he was elected, all Mr Abbott has done is stand idly by as thousands of workers were told they would lose their jobs," shadow minister for employment

Dec. 30, 2008 at 8:11 PM i'd be honest with her. it's not worth your own families health just to sit for your friend. though your friend may want to look into getting her babies more vitamin c and check their diets to see why they are always sick to begin with.

Navy is setting sail for the Big East.
The conference and the Midshipmen are announced Tuesday the academy will become football-only members of the conference in 2015.
The move will be delayed because of scheduling commitments and Navy's television agreement with CBS. The academy has played as a football independent dating to its first game in 1879.
Navy athletics director Chet Gladchuck admitted that the current state of college athletics makes it difficult to stay as an independent because conferences have influence on television schedules and bowl arrangements.
"Opportunities to exist as independents into the future are clearly in jeopardy," Gladchuck said.
The move to the Big East likely would not impact Navy's series with other services academies Air Force and Army in addition to its relationship with Notre Dame.
The addition of Navy would be another piece in the Big East's overhaul. The conference is set to lose Pittsburgh and Syracuse to the ACC and West Virginia to the Big 12.
Already announced as future additions are Boise State, Houston, SMU, Central Florida and San Diego State. With Navy and remaining members Rutgers, South Florida, Cincinnati, Louisville and Connecticut, the conference would have 11 teams.
The league would need to add one more football school to be eligible for a conference championship game.
Navy's addition will also add to the stability of the league. The agreement triggers an increase in the conference's exit from $5 million to $10 million.
"We're excited about this opportunity to compete at the highest football level, will not do anything to compromise who we are," Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said.

I had a profound sense of deja vu as I watched President Obama's fifth State Of The Union address. I've heard it all before. His speech was so worn and devoid of new ideas that MSNBC's Chris Matthews deemed it "a masterful address". It doesn't take much for a liberal Democrat to impress the Tingler. Obama probably had Matthews at hello, and by the time our President finished casting everybody in the country except white males in the role of the aggrieved (liberal political tactic #1), I'm sure Matthews was swooning.
My impression of the SOTU was somewhat different. I note two important developments. Foremost, the First Lady looked lovely, sporting her new hairdo and a forest green designer Alaia dress. Very nice. Mrs. Obama didn't quite reach Jackie O standards, but she ranks pretty high on the First Lady fashion-o-meter. Secondly, I'm pretty sure Vice President Biden was blinking some kind of secret morse code message to the Iranians. Rep. Issa should demand a special prosecutor to find out what that was all about.
If you listen to the mainstream media or the White House, you might think the unemployment rate in America has gone down since Barack Obama became President five years ago. After all, the official unemployment rate was 7.8% when Obama took office in January 2009, and the official unemployment rate now is only 6.7%.
Unfortunately, the "official" unemployment rate, like so much that comes from the government, is, to put it frankly, a load of BS.

But this hopeful breakthrough turned out to be no more than a deviously effective pretext for his escape.
To reach the restaurant, for which they were deviously steering, was the first relief.
Before us was the high range of mountains toward which we had been all day deviously drawing near.
But my diffidence in doing so is such that I must approach it deviously, describing it first by means of a figure.
deviously, the race protected itself, or something higher watched over it to assure human continuity.
After dark we found our way, deviously, around several dwellings, to the house of an old Union man.
Little did we imagine or anticipate that we should be so deviously betrayed from our subject.
But it hadnt been deviously; for all her shifting shadows and eddies she was one of the straightest creatures he had ever known.
Her parentage is shrouded in mystery, and the story concerns the secret that deviously works to the surface.
Kate played in many of the pieces which, some openly, some deviously, he brought into the English stage from the French.
1590s, "out of the way," from Latin devius "out of the way, remote, off the main road," from de via (see deviate). Originally in the Latin literal sense; figurative sense of "deceitful" is first recorded 1630s. Related: Deviously; deviousness. Figurative senses of the Latin word were "retired, sequestered, wandering in the byways, foolish, inconsistent."

ALVECHURCH boss Ross Thorpe has told departing coach James McPike the door will always be open for him at Lye Meadow.
The former Kidderminster Harriers and Birmingham City player is moving on from the Midland Alliance after getting a full-time job at West Bromwich Albion's youth academy.
Thorpe has moved quickly to replace McPike by bringing in former Redditch United reserve team boss Justin Fowkes.
Fowkes enjoyed success with the Reds reserves, winning a league and cup double last year.
Thorpe said: "James has a fantastic opportunity at a Premier League club and we wish him all the best.
"He's done a fantastic job at Alvechurch and the door will always be open to him.
"Justin's coming into to help on a match day but I am hoping to bring in some more new faces behind the scenes either this season or in the summer."
Alvechurch were once again without a game at the weekend after their home clash with Shepshed Dynamo was rained off.
The Churchmen did play Sutton Coldfield Town in a friendly last Tuesday and put in a good display despite losing 4-1.
Alvechurch were set to play third-placed Quorn at home last night and then entertain title favourites Tividale on Saturday (3pm ko).
Former Walsall and Redditch United striker Connor Deards has joined Alvechurch from Studley.
"We're delighted to have Connor at the club. He needs a few games under his belt but he's got great potential," said the manager.

Additional Information
On August 1, 2015, Dr. Amanda Bohleber became the full time Medical Director for Deaconess Clinic. She is no longer seeing or accepting patients in order to devote full attention to her new role.
"Dr. Bohleber is one of the most kind-hearted doctors I have ever had. She takes the time to really sit down with you and talk. She is also one of the most caring doctors I have ever had. I wouldn't recommend any other doctor!"
"Dr. Bohleber is very compassionate. She involves patients in their healthcare and demonstrates AIDET!"
"Dr. Bohleber listens when I speak. So many of my doctors just want to get me in and out; she takes the time and it makes me feel like my issues matter."
"I especially have to give kudos to Dr. Bohleber. She listens and goes the extra mile. I switched to her just this fall. I had my first appointment and mentioned a problem. That was at 9:00. By 12:00, I was having an ultrasound, and at 3:30 she called me on the phone personally to give me the results. She didn't want me seeing the results in My Chart without her explanation. I can't even explain how much this meant to me. I had to have surgery within the next few weeks. Without her quick action, I don't think things would have turned out as well as they did. I really feel like her patients really matter to her."
"Dr. Bohleber shows a genuine compassion and empathy for her patients. I feel I could ask her anything and would feel it was totally important to her. I would not feel embarrassed or belittled. When I talk to her, she gives me her devoted attention. Her office uses MyChart and on occasion, I do send her a note, and she is always prompt in returning a reply."
"Amanda is an exceptional doctor, an exceptional person, an exceptional friend, above and beyond on every visit."
"I thought I had a tumor, the doctor was wonderful in easing my worries"
"Dr. Bohleber is the best overall doctor I have ever seen. Very nice lady."
"Love Dr. Bohleber!"


text: Johannesburg - The government was accused on Wednesday of undermining public services in its labour negotiations with public unions."[It] is undermining its mandate to ensure that communities are provided with quality public services, delivered by public sector workers who are paid a living wage," said the National Education, Health and Allied Workers Union (Nehawu).Union official Nomthandazo Sikiti said negotiations between government and public-sector unions had reached an impasse, with the former behaving "like an intransigent employer"."We urge the government to return to the negotiating table, with an offer that befits a government that is supposed to be working to eradicate poverty," Sikiti said.Public administration spokesperson Ndivhuwo Mabaya declined to comment on Nehawu's accusations. He said government was still in negotiations with unions."We are busy with the negotiations. When we are done with the negotiations we will communicate," Mabaya said.Sikiti said public sector unions would be meeting their international counterparts at the 2012 Public Services International, to be held in Durban in November this year. * Follow Fin24 on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.


text: Time will tell but using a 3 year time line from now I'd say that unless Dynamite gets a really big name to jump on Miss Fury or Black Bat that I can't see them being around in 3 years, sadly. I want all of these books to survive, but if Bucellato left The Black Bat and one of Dynamite's in-house writers picked it up I could see sales dipping badly, same with if Rob Williams left Miss Fury. In the meantime I do see more crossovers as well as more mini's for Hornet and Shadow. But by 2015 Green Hornet and The Shadow may be the only 2 still in production.

Setting S.F. City Hall on Fire
Check out yet another successful team effort of Allegra Events and the APG team. This time we set out to transform my favorite venue in the entire Bay Area into a phantasmagoria of colors and patterns using old fashioned theatrical lighting as well as high-tech wireless LED technology. It is a mind boggling experience to just stand there in the center of City Hall, press a button on a remote control and suddenly the entire room turns a different color. I do believe that we achieved what we set out to do, at least that's what I gathered from the enthusiastic comments of the guests and even the seasoned City Hall staff.
Back at Sacred Hearts Schools
We were excited to return to Sacred Hearts Schools in Atherton for yet another fundraising event. Last year we helped to throw a 60's Hippie party (see older posts), this year's theme was "a day at the beach". The dinner and live auction was to be the "evening at the beach", so we decided it would be fun to create a sunset behind the stage using only lighting fixtures and lots of imagination. We call it "painting with light", it is elaborate and time consuming but it is definitely unique and artistic and these were exactly the words we heard over and over again that night.
The S.F. Conservatory of Music Gala
For this highly anticipated social Gala event we teamed up with our dear old friends from Ideas The Special Events Company. We have been sharing goals and visions with these folks for almost 20 years now and for the last six years also the warehouse address. Looking back I realize that it took me longer to design and fine tune the elaborate fly grid than to actually put it together and rig it from the tent structure. But ultimately it was time well spent, because we got rave reviews on the job and a very happy client. Can you believe this is a tent set over a parking lot and it was gone the next day?
Plantronics in Wonderland
This has been one of our favorite Holiday gigs for years. The gorgeous historic Coconut Grove overlooking the Santa Cruz Boardwalk is only rivaled by the elaborate theme party itself and then everybody gets all costumed up for the big Holiday bash. This year Rick from RHP provided the crazy Alice in Wonderland props while Kier from Allegra and my humble self with the APG team added all the necessary magic to bring the house down. Here's my professional opinion: these Plantronic guys are dead serious about having fun and do not take prisoners when it comes to their annual Holiday party!
The main dining room including the enchanted mushroom forest.
The Blue Room with the Cheshire Cat and Alice's gigantic legs.
The food court turned Red Queens chamber.
"Off with his head!!" she yelled from her throne.
KA HULA HOU in San Mateo
This was our second year at Ka Hula Hou, the Hula dance competition sponsored by the Academy of Hawaiian Arts. The event had doubled in size and the San Mateo Expo Center was barely able to hold the ecstatic crowd. The winner was chosen via noise meter, now try to imagine the thundering noise for first place. We quickly got our own Hula on and also discovered that boiled peanuts taste delicious.
Romantic String Lighting
Here is one of our most popular lighting packages in action: string lights combined with architectual lighting. Simple yet elegant, old fashioned yet innovative. The strings are heavy duty, waterproof and UL outdoor rated. We know the safe and proper rigging techniques from the old concert days and then we put the whole shebang on dimmers for control. As you can see everybody feels all warm and fuzzy under the umbrella of lights. That's a very happy client right there.

Conditions in the commercial property market weakened across all sectors except for CBD hotels in the second quarter of the year, the latest survey by NAB shows.
The NAB Commercial Property Index fell from minus 3 to minus 6 points in the second quarter with sentiment weakest across the office and retail sectors.
The greatest fall in sentiment was in the industrial sector. However, it continues to be the strongest performer behind CBD hotels, the only property sector with a positive index reading and the strongest outlook. Among the three main asset classes – office, retail and industrial property – capital growth is forecast to be strongest for the industrial property market, rising 1.7 per cent over the next two years. Office values are forecast to rise 1.1 per cent and retail values, 1 per cent.
Rental growth is also forecast to be strongest for industrial property, rising 1.6 per cent over the next two years.
The survey forecasts a 3.7 per cent decline in office rents over the next two years and a 2.6 per cent decline in retail rents. Overall, sentiment was negative in all states, especially Western Australia and, to a lesser extent, Victoria.
NSW is tipped to replace Queensland as the most optimistic state in the next two years, with Western Australia significantly lagging the national average.
NAB group chief economist Alan Oster said the office property sector continued to underperform the broader market, especially in Western Australia and Queensland, where survey respondents reported relatively large falls in capital values and rents amid elevated vacancy rates and market oversupply.
"On the development front, fewer developers are planning to commence new works in [the] next one to six months, while the number looking to start residential projects has fallen to its lowest level since mid-2013. Developers also said access to funding was slightly more difficult during this survey period," he said.
The index is based on the surveyed responses of 280 commercial property market participants including owners, investors, commercial agents, developers and fund mangers.

text: Thursday, June 23, 2005 Regulators OK US Air-America West deal Merger would be good for consumers, Justice Department says Reuters WASHINGTON - U.S. anti-trust enforcers cleared the proposed merger between bankrupt US Airways and America West Airlines, saying it would be good for consumers, the Justice Department said on Thursday. The agency said it concluded its 30-day review of the deal worth up to $1.5 billion and found that combining the carriers would not hurt competition. The government declined to seek additional information from either company. "The consolidation of America West and US Airways, which will create the fifth-largest domestic carrier, will enable the merged airline to offer U.S. consumers more and better service to more destinations throughout the country," the Justice Department said in a statement. US Airways hopes to emerge from court protection this fall and then begin the process of merging with smaller America West. Combining the two airlines could take more than two years, the companies have said. The new carrier plans to operate under the US Airways flag. The companies said in a joint statement they remain on track to secure regulatory approval and finalize the transaction. Industry analysts and consultants had envisioned little, if any, push back from antitrust officials since there are few overlapping routes and US Airways would likely fail if the deal fell through. No. 7 US Airways mainly operates short-haul service in the East with hubs in Philadelphia, Charlotte and a mini-hub in Pittsburgh. US Airways serves 179 cities and operates 3,400 daily departures. America West, the eighth-largest domestic airline, has hubs in Phoenix and Las Vegas. It serves 96 cities and operates 924 daily departures. Competition concerns helped to sink US Airways last merger bid - with United Airlines - in 2001. Justice Department clearance is generally the toughest government hurdle in a merger, but US Airways and America West have the added burden of having to satisfy the federal board controlling $1 billion in government-backed loans to the two carriers. The Air Transportation Stabilization Board, set up to help struggling airlines get private financing after the 2001 attacks, controls roughly $700 million in loan proceeds for US Airways and $300 million for America West. "That's the next big hurdle they have to pass," said Robert Mann, a New York-based consultant. "They obviously will be showing the same sorts of documents that they've shown to investors to the ATSB for simply allowing them to go forward." US Airways moved forward in bankruptcy on other fronts on Thursday. The federal judge in the Chapter 11 case approved a revised financing agreement between the airline and its largest creditor, General Electric Co., that allows the carrier to accelerate the reduction of its fleet and receive additional breaks on aircraft lease and other payments. Approval of the GE deal cleared the way for Republic Airways Holdings Inc. to announce that it will proceed with plans to purchase or assume leases of 28 Brazilian-made Embraer 170s as well as gates and slots at New York LaGuardia and Washington National airports from US Airways for $100 million. Republic had the option to execute the transaction as part of a $125 million equity investment in the bankrupt airline. US Airways will lease back the slots and Republic will fly the new aircraft on US Airways routes. Judge Stephen Mitchell of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in Alexandria also approved an agreement that will allow US Airways to continue to draw funds from the ATSB loans, the only source of available cash. Access to cash, added liquidity, and new terms for aircraft financing are crucial for maintaining operations and completing bankruptcy restructuring, US Airways said. The company plans to file a new business plan with the court by June 30. Do you have an opinion about this story?
