Yu-Cheng Liao
Yu-Cheng Liao (廖于誠) (The Golden Submarine)
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 5' 10", Weight 176 lb.
- Born September 4, 1980 in Taoyuan County Taiwan
Submarine pitcher Yu-Cheng Liao won the Chinese Professional Baseball League ERA title in 2008. With an unusual mechanic Liao can throw his fastball topping out at 86 mph.
Liao had a 6.00 ERA in one game in 2005 for the Brother Elephants. In 2006, he went 0-3 with a 4.40 ERA. Liao improved to 4-7, 3.32 in 2007. He was chosen for the Taiwan national team for the 2007 Baseball World Cup; in the event, he allowed 13 hits and 6 runs in 8 innings but he did get the win over Spain.
Liao improved to 11-3, 2.31 in 2008 and led the CPBL in ERA by .14 over Mike Johnson. He was 4th in ERA and 5th in strikeouts (102).
In the 2009 World Baseball Classic, Liao allowed one run in three innings against South Korea, the eventual runner-up.
In a game in 2009, Liao's finger started bleeding in the first inning. He had the team doctor apply superglue and remained on the hill for four more shutout innings, leaving with a 1-0 lead. Liao was 11-6 with a 3.31 ERA in 2009. He was third in wins behind Itsuki Shoda and Aaron Rakers and lost the ERA title, .01 behind Rakers.
In January 2010, Liao admitted to taking 600,000 NT in 2007 to throw a game. The Elephants released him following this admission.

Treasury secretary
Opposition Treasury spokesman
These policies are: increasing company tax to pay for the Coalition's paid parental leave scheme, cutting the instant asset write-off and abolishing businesses' ability to carry back losses.
Mr Hockey disputed the Treasury modelling and flagged concern about the department conducting "unsolicited costings".
In his response to Mr Hockey, released publicly on Wednesday, Dr Parkinson said he had investigated what occurred in his department and found that "there has been no breach of the professional and apolitical ethos of the Treasury".
"It has long been the case that Treasury is periodically asked by the government of the day to cost or analyse alternative policies, some of which are already in the public domain. These can include policies proposed by stakeholders or by non-government political parties,'' he said.
"On the occasion to which your letter refers, the Treasury provided advice to the deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer at the request of his office on several specific policies. As is always our practice, the Treasury did not provide the advice or the underlying analysis to anyone outside of government."
Mr Hockey said the letter proved Treasury was being used as a tool by the government.
Prime Minister
The document given to the newspapers included the paragraph: "The Coalition's business tax agenda will increase taxes on business – both small and large – by over $4.5 billion in its first full year and $17.2 billion over the next four years to '16-17."
Labor argues that former Liberal treasurer
Ms Gillard said on Wednesday it was common for departments to cost proposals already in the public domain.
"I actually think the Australian people are entitled to know the policies of every political party and what they would cost,'' Ms Gillard said.
Mr Swan told Sky News there was "absolutely nothing unusual" about his department being used to cost opposition policies and rejected the suggestion the government had politicised Treasury.
"Treasury regularly gives us information on policies or particular proposals which may come from a number of groups. We of course always seek briefings on these matters. It's very important to have an informed debate about the cost of various alternatives,'' he said.
"The Treasury has always provided those sorts of numbers to governments of both political persuasions."
Mr Hockey said it was not "normal" for Treasury to be used as a political weapon – as Labor had done – and that Mr Costello's use of the Treasury could not be compared with the leak from Mr Swan's office.
Mr Hockey said: "If it's normal to have Treasury cost and release analysis of opposition policies, why is the government resisting the release of Greens policies under freedom of information laws and using the excuse of cabinet in confidence?
"I spoke with Peter Costello last night and he could not recall a single occasion when he was treasurer when a Treasury minute was deliberately released to the media in order to score political points against the Labor Party."
"If there was a sound idea or good idea, then of course you would ask the Treasury to analyse it and cost it, or a variation of it . . . but if you are simply asking for a costing of an opposition policy and then leak it to the media, as if it came out of the Treasury, then it is an unacceptable use of a government department engaged in a political processes."
Former Liberal finance minister Nick Minchin told The Australian Financial Review that while Mr Costello had used the department to cost Labor policies, the Gillard government had gone too far by leaking Treasury modelling to the media.
"We in government never formally requested Treasury and Finance to 'cost' opposition policies,'' he said.
"It's legitimate for governments to have costings made on policy proposals in the public arena. The government may want to implement them – it needs to understand the policy implications. But there is a line you shouldn't cross – that is being seen to politicise what should be an apolitical public service."

Product Review (submitted on September 2, 2013):
Thank you! I went vegan a little over a year ago. The hardest part was giving up dairy yogurt -- I had existed on at least a carton a day of Dannon Coffee Yogurt for 40 years! I tried commercial non-dairy yogurts and was just getting to think that one particular soy version was OK, when they stopped making it. It has been unavailable in our area for several months now. Totally frustrated, I ordered some of your vegan yogurt starter and dug out a yogurt maker I hadn't used for several years. I also bought a Euro Cuisine Greek yogurt strainer. Well, it is awesome! I use Edensoy Unsweetened Soy Milk with some extra soy milk powder (1/2 cup per quart of the milk) and the starter. I can use the unsweetened yogurt for cooking, or sweeten it a little for eating. I can even make my own coffee yogurt :-) No more megadoses of sugar, additives, etc., no more rubbery or chalky-tasting yogurt, and no more frustration at the empty soy yogurt shelves at the grocery store!

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Computer Sciences Corporation today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has accepted DynPort Vaccine Company's (DVC) filing of a Biologics License Application for Vaccinia Immune Globulin (VIGIV), an intravenous immune globulin under evaluation for the treatment of adverse reactions to smallpox vaccination. DVC is a CSC company.
The application was submitted on May 21, 2004 and accepted for review on July 15, 2004. Acceptance for filing indicates recognition by the FDA that the submission is complete and warrants full review of the data needed to assess the quality, safety and efficacy of the therapeutic.
Cato Research Ltd., a global contract research and development organization headquartered in Research Triangle Park, NC, supported VIGIV's core development activities, including regulatory strategy, interactions with the FDA, preparation and review of the application, and manufacturing compliance matters.
VIGIV was manufactured from plasma donations of military personnel previously vaccinated with vaccinia, the virus used to vaccinate against the smallpox virus. The therapeutic contains purified antibodies specific to the vaccinia virus that assist in recovery of persons suffering from rare complications of vaccination against smallpox. VIGIV might be used in cases of generalized vaccinia, eczema vaccinatum or progressive vaccinia.
"This submission marks a major milestone in DVC's history," said DVC President Terry Irgens. "Vaccinia Immune Globulin is expected to be the company's first licensed product. This tremendous accomplishment would not have been possible without the support of the Department of Defense Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program and our many excellent subcontractors. VIGIV will provide additional reassurance that adequate treatment for complications of smallpox vaccinations is immediately available."
DVC is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and licensure of safe and efficacious biodefense vaccines for the Department of Defense and civilian populations. DVC is part of CSC's Enforcement, Security and Intelligence organization, which CSC created in 2002 to support programs enhancing U.S. security.

Sasquatch Recap!
Photos by Miriam Thom
Here it is u guyz… Winnie Cooper's Sasquatch! 2011 review! Words by Dolly Compton.
• Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
• Sleigh Bells
• The Antlers
• Ratatat
• White Arrows
• Foster the People
• !!!
• Das Racist
• Matt and Kim
DFA 1979: I had to keep myself from headbanging too hard so my neck wouldn't be too sore for the rest of the weekend.
Foo Fighters: Dave Grohl is a modern icon, and he brought out Bob Mould from Hüsker Dü who shredded like he'd risen from hell.
Aloe Blacc: I need a dollar…
The Antlers: Fantastic performance in broad daylight! The sunshine made their set more powerful and surreal than they've been at indoors venues in the past.
Washed Out: Ernest Greene tapped into the house market with a booming four-to-the-floor that overpowered the twinkling melodies and pillow-talk vocals.
The Glitch Mob: 3 iPad nerds geeking out on some heavy synth and drum machine apps and putting on a better show than Bassnectar (due2power)
Matt and Kim: They sampled every hip hop great and Kim did a handstand while shaking her booty like you would not believe.
Sleigh Bells: Alexis Krauss is the hottest bitch on the planet! Combining everything you could want: bangin' beats and metal.
Robyn: Sasquatch! 2011 had so many amazing female performers. Robyn ate a banana on stage and, as one of my friends put it, was dancing "like she was from another planet."
Beach House: Another female babe, Victoria Legrand commanded the hearts of every girl and the loins of every boy in the audience. It was sunny and beautiful during their set and I wept during "Take Care."
Cold War Kids: My friends were passed out drunk in front of City and Colour so I went to the mainstage where Cold War Kids were surprisingly great!
Flogging Molly: Everyone caught a second wind for this set and jumped around dancing to Irish punk.
Das Racist: They pulled off the best audience interaction all weekend, making people choose between laughing and dancing. A white girl in a red bikini flashed them and Dap told her to "Eat something."
Gold Panda: Money set in the Banana Shack dance tent. Expected nothing less.
Flying Lotus: A huge crowd came for Flying Lotus and you could tell he was just as stoked as they were.
MSTRKRFT: #FrenchHouse! I felt like I couldn't dance hard enough for how good this show was.
Ratatat: Amazing visuals. They had a giant 3-D parrot that was hanging out on the side of the stage. The audience all looked like they were having out of body experiences.
Black Mountain: Vancouver's own! Dark, dance-able rock. So so good.
White Arrows: All these guys are babes. The crowd quadrupled during their set.
Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings: Soul good on the mainstage. Sharon wore a royal blue flapper dress and had everyone on their feet getting down to soul jams like this or this.
Foster the People: Every Sasquatch bro's summer anthem
!!! ("Chk Chk Chk"): Lead singer Nic Offer was gyrating like Prince, strutting into the crowd to ham and steal the audience's clothing. Glad I saw it!
Skrillex: Dub-step sweetheart Skrillex opened the door from a room of brostep euphoria LFOs into some hallways of dnb roots, dancehall, and not enough French house.
Major Lazer: Diplo and Switch ended Sasquatch! 2011 with a rager in the dance tent, narrowly avoiding a bum-rush after inviting ten girls onstage, and telling the audience that they were going to "F*ck everybody."
DJ Anjali and the Incredible Kid: Portland bollyhood DJs who played an unprecedented all four days! Catch them in Portland before they get too big!
Yeasayer: Somewhere along the line these guys decided they wanted to be a boring indie rock band. They played mostly their new album with a neutered version of "O.N.E." and you could tell they were bored. At least change your name if you're going to be a completely different band.
Best Coast: Expectedly sarcastic, unexpectedly boring.

A WARRINGTON Rowing Club junior pair were crowned National Schools' Regatta champions at the National Watersports Centre.
Junior under 15s girls' double sculls of Lucy Glover and Ellie Davies were third with less than 200m remaining, but powered to victory to win the Wycliffe Watermen Trophy by less than half a second.
The success resulted from many hours training on the River Mersey with coach John McQuillian.
Other Warrington finalists were junior under 16s girls' coxless quadruple sculls Gina Tarpey, Lucy Stanhope, Pippa Curran and Ayesha Wooler; and girls' under 14s coxed quadruple sculls Abbi Ellam, Niamh Flanagan, Bethany Rigby and Faith Allman, coxed by Lucy Glover.
At The British Rowing Master Championships, sculler Phil Higginson achieved a menメs singles sculls third place. (Veteran D; 50-54).

The city of Coon Rapids has been successful in a second attempt to secure a Metropolitan Council grant for a planning project at the Foley Boulevard Park and Ride and potential future Foley Station site.
The grant through the Metropolitan Council's Livable Communities Transit Oriented Development (TOD) program totals $40,000 and is good for two years.
It was approved by the Metropolitan Council Dec. 12 following a recommendation from the council's community development committee.
According to a Metropolitan Council staff report, this project is an example of station area planning for transit-oriented development near commuter rail.
The Foley project was one of three predevelopment grants that received funding; another 10 development grant applications were approved.
Pre-development projects were scored on their ability to spur development or redevelopment in the future.
A second grant request was turned down. That was $230,000 for a development project in the Riverdale Station that would have involved construction of a trail to enhance pedestrian access to the existing Northstar Commuter Rail station from the residential neighborhood across the railroad tracks from the station.
According to the Metropolitan Council staff recommendation, there is no development associated with the new infrastructure, which would serve only an existing single-family neighborhood, rather than the TOD area that has been master planned by the city.
Both projects had been rejected by the Metropolitan Council when grant applications were made earlier this year.
The Metropolitan Council's Livable Communities Act Transit Oriented Development (TOD) program is a new funding source to enhance TOD development in and around light rail, commuter rail and bus transit stations, according to Matt Brown, city community development specialist.
For the Foley Boulevard area, the city will use the grant dollars for land use planning, market analysis, pedestrian/bicycle infrastructure planning, future street planning and creating a land acquisition and development staging plan.
The city plans to retain a consultant to do the work and provide the necessary $10,000 match through in-kind work at the staff level.
"At present… the area is generally an automobile-oriented environment with poor pedestrian connections, obsolete land uses and low density development," Brown wrote in his grant request.
According to Brown, the city's comprehensive plan identifies the area as a potential TOD site and major employment district and both the city and Anoka County have started land banking in the area.
"It is envisioned that the TOD area will be redeveloped as a transit supportive employment district with multi-modal connections to the neighboring Evergreen industrial area and Northtown Mall employment centers," Brown wrote.
"The TOD project will also establish non-motorized connections to residential areas surrounding the TOD area, including major redevelopment sites for high-density residential development."
The area to be covered in the study will be 60 to 70 acres including property either side of Foley Boulevard from Coon Rapids Boulevard to East River Road, property the Anoka County Regional Rail Authority has acquired in the area for the possible Foley Station site and land north of TH 610, according to Brown.
The planning will also involve taking into account the county's future plans for an overpass at the Foley Boulevard railroad tracks, Brown said.
"We want to identify the infrastructure improvements that will be needed when the time comes for development," he said.
Planning in the potential future Foley Station area is also part of a grant application the city submitted a few weeks ago to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), according to Community Development Director Marc Nevinski.
The city is hoping to hear within a couple of months the fate of that request, Nevinski said.
The purpose of this grant application is an area-wide planning project along the Coon Rapids Boulevard corridor – land use and infrastructure planning plus market analysis, Brown said.
The potential grant would be some $175,000 and the city hired the consulting firm of Hoisington Koegler Group to prepare the grant application after sending out requests for qualification.

Johannesburg - It cost the crime intelligence unit R5 million to employ Lt-Gen Richard Mdluli's family members and supply them with luxury cars, according to a report on Sunday.
Seven of Mdluli's relatives were registered as secret agents less than a year after his appointment to head the unit in 2009, City Press reported.
According to a document in the newspaper's possession the cars were part of fleet of luxury vehicles bought for more than R47
million over the past five years by the crime intelligence front company.
The documents included affidavits by two senior Hawks investigators, Colonel Kobus Roelofse and Lt-Col Piet Viljoen, who were probing Mdluli and the crime intelligence secret service account.
According to City Press the affidavits describe how Mdluli had use of seven crime intelligence vehicles Ä an Audi, three Mercedes Benzes, a BMW, a Jeep and a Lexus. Some of the cars were illegally registered in Mdluli's wife's name.
According to the investigators Mdluli's seven family members, who were secret agents, did little at crime intelligence. In the 18 months since their appointment in 2010 they cost the state more than R5 million in salaries and other expenses.
The affidavits also detail how the state was allegedly defrauded by tens of thousands of rands. In one transaction Mdluli's seven-series BMW was traded in for a five-series model, resulting in a shortfall of R90,526.
In Parliament earlier this week acting national police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi hinted that the Hawks' probe into the "looting" of a crime intelligence "slush fund" may not necessarily be over. He said he was considering instituting disciplinary steps against police officers mentioned in Hawks' statements. - Sapa

Job Search
Success is not always something you necessarily find when you arrive. It may be the journey that gets you there.
It seems as though people make career management more difficult than it has to be.
When something threatens to make it simple, they almost invariably find a way to make it more complicated. For example, in recent years there's been much more activity in the small- to mid-size companies, yet the majority of people looking into a job change or career move continues to scour the newspapers, all the while complaining that there are so few meaningful opportunities. If they had the resources to scan the 300 leading newspapers and publications in the
U.S. daily
, they'd still find relatively few meaningful opportunities.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, historically, most of the better positions are never advertised. According to R. L. Stevens Associates' CEO, Randy Stevens, 70 to 80 percent of the meaningful jobs go unadvertised. If the same people would only get out into the market and make some new friends' contacts, they'd see new opportunities, perhaps just around the corner.
Easier said than done? Unfortunately, yes. Most of us have never been trained in this sort of work.
Even the most senior managers may be novice in a job change or career search and can become discouraged. Still, there are a couple of basic concepts that, understood, can make job searching less complicated.
One is to begin replacing the hours you spend scanning the classifieds with meaningful, face-to-face discussion. In discussion with others, like yourself, you will likely find access to the activity created by movement and happenings in the small to mid-size market. Keep this in mind: Within everyone you meet, you are likely to discover a far more helpful, energetic and interesting person you may have thought him or her to be. Just give them a change. All it takes is a little bit of encouragement and direction, which is another key concept. That is, most people like to help others; it's human nature to help others. We just don't always know how. Tell them how and they will help.
Here are some practical suggestions when connecting:
* Don't begin by asking for advice: Offer suggestions first; provide ideas before asking for any
* Get to know others before you ask them to know you
* Don't ask others to be creative or perceptive for you; it's too much work (Be intuitive, recognizing of course, that given the chance, they'll manage to complicate this thing as well)
* Be clear about your own ideas - be focused
* Get ready. The question, 'what are you looking to do' can befuddle the unsuspecting person forcing a response that is weak, irrelevant or even fatal
* Move people towards embracing your ideas by listening carefully to theirs Look people in the eye and reflect on what you are hearing
* Don't judge
* Ask yourself, Is the message getting across; is the content clear?
* Don't use jargon. If someone understands it, they won't be impressed; if they don't, they'll take out a book and read
* Take your ideas, and those you accumulate, to the next contact, and so, and so on and so on
* Keep this maxim in mind at all times: You must first build a relationship before you can do business
Like most career professionals, you have a vision for moving onward and upward. Unfolding a career is like charting a new frontier and sometimes equally as difficult to predict and control.
What are your ideas? What do you want to do with them? How do you want to go about it; when?
Before you spend hundreds of hours hunting for success, spend a few defining it. Consider some of history's greatest athletes: gold medal Olympians. Early on in their lives they set goals. From then on they squashed everything in their lives that didn't pertain to those goals, and went on to win the gold!

Pregnant Kendra Wilkinson Leads Today's Hottest Star Sightings
Bump alert!
Kendra Wilkinson and her bun in the oven were spotted at the premiere party of The Lylas in Hollywood, Calif. this week. Rocking a zig-zagged, black-and-white dress with a slicked back ponytail, the expectant mom was all smiles as she flaunted her cute little belly.
Previously, Wilkinson told Celebuzz that she's already chosen a name for baby No. 2.
"It represents something special to us. It's a name that can go either way. I want her name to be a boy name, but can be shortened to a girl name," she said.
"Hank wants a girl. And Hank Jr. is so protective over me, we have a mother-son bond. So I can't imagine what a girl would be like," she continued. "I'm ready for anything that happens naturally. But I'm not afraid to raise a girl."

Beloved Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott promised us an all Sinister Six issue focusing entirely on Marvel's best bad guy team and leaving Spider-Man out of his own title for a chapter, but he neglected to mention that e was also including Marvel's OTHER best bad guy team, the Intelligentsia!
Dr. Octopus has been on a roll, having bested Tony Stark and Reed Richards, among others, in recent months on his quest to earn the respect he deserves before the cancerous affliction consumes him. Will he be continuing this dominance by out-thinking M.O.D.O.K. and his big-brain team, or will they be teaming up to make THE BEST BEST BAD GUY TEAM OF ALL EVER TIME FOREVER?!
Check out these Humberto Ramos preview pages for Amazing Spider-Man #676, due out next month.

Britney Spears is looking forward to going back on tour this summer, as she has missed life on the road.
Britney Spears can't wait to start touring again because she has missed life on the road.
The 'Hold It Against Me' hitmaker is desperate to play live in front of her fans again later this year, in what will be her first live dates since her 'The Circus Starring Britney Spears' world tour in 2009.
The pop superstar - who will be playing a host of tracks from her new album 'Femme Fatale' - told New York radio station Z100: "It's been two years since I did a major tour. It's pretty crazy on the road. It's a completely different lifestyle. You get used to it and you just grow to love it - I have been missing it. The tours and everything make it worth what I do."
Britney also opened up about her private life, saying she's not bothered about what stories come out about her health and love life because her family help her deal with the pressures of fame.
The 29-year-old singer - who has two sons, Sean Preston, five, and Jayden James, four, from her marriage to Kevin Federline - added: "I've kind of gotten to a point where I know what's real and I know what's not. I have such an amazing family that supports me in everything that I do. We brush it off.
"When you're young and you're starting out a lot of it can be a little annoying, because when you're starting out they say hurtful things.
"You get to a point where it's enough already and you just brush them all off and everyone kind of laughs at them."
Britney's summer 2011 US tour is scheduled for 26 dates, starting on June 17 in Sacramento, California.
With clips from more than 200 teen movies made in the decade after 1995's Clueless,...
The cameo-driven, "Mission: Impossible 2"-spoofing, movie-within-a-movie, pre-title sequence of "Austin Powers in Goldmember" is the...
Freshly graduated from jail bait status, Britney Spears wastes no time getting down to her...

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/11/2013 (1384 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW YORK -- Bomb-sniffing dogs roamed the streets and police officers guarded nearly every corner. None of the heightened security, however, could keep a record number of runners from competing in the New York City Marathon.
On a crisp fall Sunday, 50,740 people started the race -- including the millionth in the 33-year history of the marathon -- that touches all five of the city's boroughs.
New York shined in all its splendor for a national television audience, a year after the race was cancelled because of Superstorm Sandy.
"This is one big showcase of the city," said Mary Wittenberg, president of the New York Road Runners. "The marathon is a good analogy. Step by step this is a long recovery from Sandy. You can go to parts of the city where they aren't recovered. This is progress and that progress has to continue. I really hope that today is another good step forward for us."
Charles Breslin lost his home in the storm. He was volunteering at the marathon and welcomed the race's return.
"I don't know how the rest of Staten Island feels about, but it can only be a good thing," he said. "You have to get back to normalcy."
This was far from a typical NYC Marathon, with the Boston Marathon bombings in April bringing increased vigilance. While fans could walk right up to most spots along the course to cheer as in previous years, security was tightened throughout the city.
"There were zero incidents, zero threats," Wittenberg said. "It went really smooth. There was a very noticeable increased presence coming in."
Security was tightest at the start and near the finish line, where garbage trucks blocked entry to Central Park and everyone had to walk through numerous check points to watch the end of the 26.2-mile race.
"It's a lot different than the past ones," said Alem Kahsay, who has worked the finish line for the past 13 years.

Golf Australia hopes the world's top two players can deliver a spectacular encore to the 2013 Australian Open after luring superstar Rory McIlroy back for a title defence in November.
Fresh from victories at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio and the British Open at Hoylake, McIlroy on Wednesday confirmed he would be at The Australian Golf Club from November 27-30 for the $1.25 million event.
The popular Northern Irishman denied Adam Scott on the final hole in a thrilling climax to last year's Open at Royal Sydney.
Scott led the tournament for all but one hole after carding a sizzling course-record 10-under-par 62 on day one and Golf Australia boss Stephen Pitt said having the Australian duel again with McIlroy would be great for fans.
"Adam is currently finalising his playing schedule for the end of the year," Pitt said.
"The battle on the final day of the Emirates Australian Open between Adam and Rory last year was one of the greatest days in Australian golf and no doubt everyone would love to see it again."
McIlroy is the favourite heading into the PGA Championship, the final major of the season starting on Thursday night, after reigniting his career with his first win of 2013 in Sydney last year.
"I'm really looking forward to coming back to Sydney in November to defend my Emirates Australian Open title," the 25-year-old said.
"I had a terrific experience last year in front of great crowds. They really loved the showdown between myself and Adam. And it proved to be a really important win for me.
"I believe my return to form was given real momentum in Australia last year. I've heard great things about The Australian Golf Club since the Jack Nicklaus redesign and I look forward to competing in front of the Aussie fans again later in the year."
McIlroy won the 2012 US PGA Championship at Kiawah Island and the 2011 US Open at Congressional among seven PGA Tour victories to date.
With his British Open win in Liverpool, he joined the record books with Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the only three players to have won three major championships by the age of 25.
"We are thrilled that Rory is able to return to Sydney in November. His commanding wins at the Open Championship and the Bridgestone Invitational were another demonstration of his extraordinary talent which has made him the household name that he is," Pitt said.
"As the defending champion and based on the volume of responses we had from the fans, sponsors and TV viewers, we were obviously very keen to have Rory come back to Australia.
"We're excited about the potential of Rory rekindling the final-round battle from 2013 and the stage is set for a huge week at The Australian Golf Club."

The Little League Southeast Regional tournament will be held for the last time this summer in Gulfport, leaving Pinellas County after 41 years.
Pinellas schools superintendent Clayton Wilcox confirmed the School Board has an agreement to buy the property to use as part of the expansion of Boca Ciega High School.
The Little League Southeast Regional, which hosts the champions in the 11- to 12-year-old division from eight states, is the last stop for Little League players before they head to the World Series in Williamsport, Pa.
This year's weeklong tournament is Aug. 2-8.
Little League has not determined a future site for the tournament and its Southeast headquarters. It will open the bidding to the eight states — Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia — in the Southeast Region.
"No question, it's the end of an era," Little League senior communication executive Lance Van Auken said.
The school district approached Little League International several months ago when it became clear it would need more land as part of the $73-million reconstruction of Boca Ciega High, said Jim Miller, the school system's real estate director. When the organization showed some interest, he said, the district offered to get appraisals. Negotiations began after that.
The School Board approved the deal without fanfare last week; it was one of several items on a portion of the agenda reserved for routine matters.
The district will pay $4.17-million for the property, which includes two ball fields, bleachers, an administration building and two sizable stretches of green space that hug the northeast corner of the school's property. All told, the district will gain 12.8 acres.
Under a sales contract between Little League International and the district, the league will retain the property through Sept. 21 so it can hold its 2008 tournament there.
The high school sits on 33 acres of usable land, below the minimum recommended for high schools by the Florida Department of Education. Original plans called for limited green space when the project is done — the football field and a small general purpose playing field on the northeast corner of the property. But the purchase will give the district extra space to locate storm drainage facilities and more room on the playing field.
In addition, the school plans to use the existing Little League ball fields this year.
"You have a lot of latitude on what you can do with the site," Miller said.
Van Auken said Little League agreed to sell the property because the complex offers little room for expansion.
"We sort of outgrew the facility," Van Auken said.
The Little League Southeast Regional is little in name only. It is a megaevent with voluminous television and media coverage.
"It's a bittersweet moment for me to see the regional move," said Van Auken, who started playing baseball at Cross Bayou in 1967 and has been involved with Little League ever since. "I watched games there as a 9-year-old.
"I know it will have an emotional effect on others, as well. But progress is progress."
Gulfport Mayor Mike Yakes said he was sad to lose the league but glad the property will be used for education.
The annual tournament was "our most prestigious event," he said. "It was our World Series, our time to shine."
Once, when ESPN broadcasters referred to the location as St. Petersburg, the mayor corrected them: "You understand, you're in Gulfport.''
"It hurts," Yakes said. "But what really hurts is we don't have the ground to replace it."

The Coon Rapids Lions Club will once again be on the prowl in Lions Coon Creek Park on Hanson Boulevard hosting a free open house and pig roast for area residents Saturday Sept. 8, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Games, information and food are all part of this event being sponsored by the Lions club.
"Everyone is welcome to share in the fun and learn more about the service work that is done for the community by fellow Coon Rapids citizens," said Lyle Goff, Coon Rapids Lions Club first vice president.
On arriving at the event, participants will be given the opportunity to earn pride bucks that will go toward a free pulled pork lunch.
Information booths will be set up around the park for everyone to learn about the various community projects and events the Coon Rapids Lions Club works on each year.
While visiting each information booth, attendees will receive their pride bucks and those certificates can be turned in for a delicious meal prepared by UP NORTH BBQ.
There will be approximately 250 free meals available to those people interested in coming to the park.
The club will also be hosting games for the children and young-at-heart to play during the open house.
It is always searching for new members and hopes there are some area residents who might be interested in joining, according to Goff.
The club recognizes that there are many area citizens that would like to perform community service work but are just not sure how to get involved, Goff said.
"This open house is just the opportunity for members of the community to become part of an organization providing for the needs of groups or individuals in Coon Rapids," he said.
"Please plan to join in the exploration of Lionism, games and pulled pork sandwiches Saturday Sept. 8."
People are asked to bring their used eye glasses or hearing aids for recycling and learn what happens to them after they put them in the collection boxes the Lions have set up around the community.
Bring non-perishable food items to be donated to the ACBC Food Shelf and also drop off gently-used and clean winter coats that will also be distributed by the people at ACBC.
The Coon Rapids Lions Club has been serving the community since 1954 by providing volunteers and donations through various service projects.
"The club looks to help meet the needs of the citizens of this area and have fun while doing it," Goff said.
Contact Dan Janish, membership chairperson, at 612-558-2851 or through the club's website at www.coonrapidslions.org.

At first blush, Heather Armstrong is a potty-mouthed, in-your-face Internet star. She has turned her humorous musings at Dooce.com, a blog she started eight years ago, into a bona fide financial success. Her posts have ranged from complaining about her computer-programming job - from which she was then fired - to her Mormon upbringing and her neurotic attempts to conceive a child with her husband, Jon.
But she has also become an outspoken survivor of post-partum depression. Blog readers came to know of her breakdown after the birth of her first child, Leta; Ms. Armstrong even chronicled her stay in a mental hospital.
In her new memoir, It Sucked and Then I Cried: How I Had a Baby, a Breakdown and a Much Needed Margarita, she revisits those days with a searingly funny, yet poignant, look at how she came through the other side. We caught up with Ms. Armstrong, now pregnant with baby girl No. 2, at home in Salt Lake City, Utah.
One of the things that draws women to your site is that you're great on the indignities of pregnancy. There are so many of them.One of your latest entries is all about the challenges of using airline and airport bathrooms while on your book tour. Have you sorted yourself out?
I got four different e-mails from four very separate women who said they got to this point in pregnancy and had to be rushed to the emergency and be catheterized because they couldn't pee. I said, "Please don't tell me that!"
You thought the blog might wind down when you got pregnant the first time, but it didn't. Was there just too much good material?
I really thought that I was going to give it up because there was going to be no way I was going to have the time to do it. I remember trying to write my last post in my head, my farewell to the blogosphere, because I've got more important things to do, like raise my child. Then, I found writing about the experience was so helpful in figuring out how to articulate what was good about it and what was frustrating about it and getting through it. There were many days in the months after my daughter was born that my husband would call me from work and say, "I just read your website and I had no idea you were feeling this way." I'd say, "I didn't either."
One of the topics you were most honest about was your post-partum depression. Had some of your trademark humour come from not wanting to let on just how badly you were feeling?
Absolutely. I joke about Utah having more children per capita than anywhere else in the world. You're surrounded by very blond and pretty and thin and happy moms. And I just wasn't. Making fun of myself was a way for me to feel better. There were days when the crying never ended. The sound of my daughter crying made me physically ill and was preventing bonding from taking place. Part of breastfeeding was that as magical as it was, it really tore me down. She would only eat at night. I was very worried about my milk drying up. I peeled away the snarkiness and the sarcasm to say, "I can't sleep. I am not enjoying this. I haven't bonded with my daughter and I want to kill myself."How did your readers respond?
People telling me that I wasn't weird for the way I was feeling - that was part of the encouragement for me to check myself into the hospital and take care of myself. This sea of strangers whose faces I've never seen and probably never will see are responsible for saving my life.
You chronicled most of this on the blog. Did you have the urge to pull back?
When my therapist and my husband were telling me I was going to end up in the hospital, I remember thinking: I can't end up in hospital, because I have 30,000 readers who are going to think I'm insane - that can't happen. When it came to that, and I was going to be gone for four days inside a locked facility, I decided to write about it and see what happened. If everybody stops reading me, well, my sanity is more important.
After a horrible first night on a mental-illness ward, you met a good doctor.
He put his pen down and said, "I don't want you to think you're not special, because you're special, but I've seen the clenched hands, the look in your eyes. I have seen this a hundred times over. I have a cocktail that works. Let's try it."Your recovery was quite quick.
People don't believe me. They gave me very large doses of medicine. The medicine he gave me would sedate a whole herd of bison. But I was in such a state that it allowed me to sit still for the first time in seven months. My husband came to lunch two hours after I had taken the medication. I was a different person.
So, do you feel more equipped with baby No. 2?
There's so much more that I know about. If she doesn't eat for three hours, I'm not going to die; she's not going to die. My milk isn't going to dry up. ...I'm very excited to bring this baby home and say, "Look at the skills that I have! I am a master!" People ask me about how I'm ready to go through this again. I say, "I have this five-year-old who knows how to tell jokes. That is so worth it."Report Typo/Error

Cries for Help opens a window on the closed world of Holloway, other women's prisons and the lives of those held there in the 1970s. This was an era when personal style and charismatic leadership was the order of the day for governors and prison officers, before ideas of 'new management', when problems were solved using personal initiatives. It catalogues the daily lives of women prisoners, their anxieties, fears and preoccupations. The book looks at a lost segment of the population, hundreds of women who were hidden from view, lacking a voice, part of a system for men that hardly knew what to do with them. It contains stories about murderers and other serious offenders and looks at their personal correspondence, including that of moors murderer Myra Hindley.
Rosemary McDonald Lord David Ramsbotham
Joanna Kozubska was as an assistant governor at Holloway Prison and other custodial establishments for women in the 1970s. She hit the news when borstal girls climbed onto the roof of Holloway demanding that she should not be transferred out and later 'escaped notice' after escorting Myra Hindley out of the gates of Holloway for a headline-making walk on Hampstead Heath.

Land & Lumber, a History of Portage County written by Michael Goc and brought to you by the Portage County Historical Society. The history of any place is the story of people, ideas and resources. It tells how the people of a community used the resources present to realize their ideas. In Portage County the key resources were--and still are--water, land and lumber. They were used by native people to build a culture, much of which is lost today, but whose remnants give evidence of a people of spirit and imagination. The white pioneers of the county came here specifically because of its resources of water power and lumber that they would use to establish a 19th Century industrial center. Along with the lumbermen came those for whom the land was enough and who built an agriculture based on the distinctive nature of the county's soil and water resources.
After a century and a half, the basics have not changed. Water and lumber are still basic to the county's industrial base. Farmland, and a relatively new method of using the water beneath its surface, still make a distinctive agriculture. Each generation brings its own ideas but still uses the same resources as its forebears.

CEPHEUS Cost Efficient Passive Houses as EUropean Standard. This EU project is part of the THERMIE programme. The definition of a PASSIVE HOUSE used by CEPHEUS can be used: (You will find more information on: www.cepheus.de)
"Passive Houses are buildings which ensure a comfortable indoor climate in summer and in winter without needing a conventional heating system. To permit this, it is essential that the building's annual demand for space heating does not exceed 15 kWh/m2year. The minimal heat requirement can be supplied by heating the supply air in the ventilation system - a system that is necessary in any case.
The standard has been named "Passive House" because the passive heat inputs delivered externally by solar irradiation through the windows and provided internally by the heat emissions of appliances and occupants essentially suffice to keep the building at comfortable indoor temperatures throughout the heating period. It is a part of the Passive House philosophy that efficient technologies are also used to minimize the other sources of energy consumption in the building, notably electricity for household appliances. The target of the CEPHEUS project is to keep the total final energy demand for space heating, domestic hot water and household appliances below 42 kWh/m2year".
The criteria for a Passive House per m² living area:
Never having to spend money on heating the house is a very attractive concept. To reach this very high level of performance one could expect that the building costs would increase sharply. This does not have to be the case. The costs are not excessive as long as the design and orientation of the house are carefully considered. Some general points about design:
The building procedure would be much the same as for any Scandinavian Homes house. The foundation with all insulation is done by us. The shell with triple glazing and felted roof is made by us. The only difference is that the added 70mm of studs and insulation in the external walls would have to be done by your local finishing carpenter and the cellulose fiber insulation contractor.
Please contact us to develop your ideas. Generally, any single storey Baltica, Nordica or Hibernia house would be suitable. The compact shape of a true two-storey house provides a good bulky shape with minimal surface area. All the two storey types in the Uppsala, Kalmar, Stockholm and Dublin lines are suitable. When two-storey designs are to be built to passive standard the challenge is to make it airtight. It is much more demanding for the finishing team compared to build a single storey version.
Download and view our standard Sections for passive houses and super passive houses here. (click on image to open/download)
The standard low-energy Scandinavian Homes Ltd house can be improved to become a passive house. Many of the prerequisites of a Passive house are already in place with our standard models. First and foremost the house must be airtight and so one must start by designing a house that can realistically be made airtight i.e. design something that the local builder can make airtight with the skills and materials available to him. It is easy to sit in an office and fantasise about fancy designs, it is another matter to make it happen in the field. For this reason many of the passive houses currently being built by Scandinavian Homes are single story designs. This makes it easy for the local builder to succeed with the airtight membranes. Another huge advantage is that it costs relatively little to upgrade any single storey Scandinavian Homes house to full passive standard.
The following listing explains the upgrade:
Passive solar gain: The passive gain of incoming solar heat through the windows will cover close to 40% of the heat losses if all guidelines are followed. Optimised south facing glazing with none or minimal window openings to the north is a requisite. Most windows should be fixed as these have a higher performance than the opening type.
Windows: The standard triple glazing with one low emission shield and argon fill has a glazing U-value of 1.0. Taking into account the heavy timber frame, the average U-value for an openable 12-12 sized window is 1.2 W/m2C°. In the Tooreeny passive house we used upgraded triple glazed windows with double LE shields and double argon filled cavity as well as warm edge glazing-profile. We notice a little loss of light-transmission and a slight brown tinting of the light due to the second layer of LE coating. For this reason, and the fact that it cost a little more, we ship the regular triple glazed windows with single LE shield and single argon fill in both low-energy houses as well as passive-houses.
External doors: The standard door has a U-value of 1.0 W/m2C°. This can be improved by adding an extra internal door swinging into the room. Otherwise doors with U-value of 0.8 W/m2C° must be sourced. As with all components making up a passive house, the total performance of the house must be considered. A large house with many doors will have much larger heart-losses and this must be compensated by significant improvement of all components. In many well designed houses of moderate size, the standard door is sufficient to meet the passive criteria.
Wall: The standard wall insulation consists of 145mm of semi rigid Rockwool insulation carefully fitted between 45x145mm studs spaced 600mm apart with minimized cold bridging. The U-value is 0.25 W/m2C° using Swedish calculation methods. The value using British Standard sounds a lot better; 0.20 W/m2C°. Please observe that in the following text we use the Swedish method
Upgrade A; For most houses that are designed with passive performance in mind it is sufficient with a minor upgrade. Simple composite studs made up with 45x45mm studs and 25mm aero board and regular 45x70mm studs are added to the inside of the completed shell. 70mm of additional Rockwool gives a total insulation thickness of 215mm The vapour barrier is already installed in the factory. The U-value of this optimised wall is 0.16 W/m2C° (Swedish calculation method)
Upgrade B; For large and demanding houses. An additional layer of 120mm Rock wool is added between the standard wall and the 70mm upgrade. This gives a total insulation thickness of 335mm The vapour barrier has to be installed on-site. The U-value of this super-wall is 0.10 W/m2C° (Swedish calculation method) This is how our Tooreeny Hibernia 164 was built. In retrospect it was overdone. According to the Passive Haus Institute calculation program, the house requires a constant heat load of 4 W/m2 when the requirement is only less than 10 W/m2.
Roof: Single storey houses. This is the ideal situation when building to fully passive specification. Simple and cheap. Cellulose-fiber insulation is blown to a thickness of 500mm over the entire ceiling. U-value 0.066 W/m2C°
Houses with attic conversion. The thick roof takes away too much headroom except in the widest house type with increased roof pitch. The need for perfect air tightness is more difficult to achieve in practice with an attic-roof truss. We have developed ways to do this but it is essential the finishing team are willing to work to the exact specifications and with the tools required. The passive upgrade consists of: special cold-bridge free roof truss without vertical enforcements. The space for insulation within the truss is 400mm on the sloping part, 500mm on the horizontal part on top. The vapour barrier is installed in a special way to make it connect to the vapour barrier in the walls on the ground floor. U-value 0.082 W/m2C°
Floor: The standard base unit provides good insulation of the circumference of the foundation.
Upgrade: We add another 60mm of polyurethane insulation on the inside of the base unit and the 120mm of expanded polystyrene under the house is increased to 280mm. U-value 0.1 W/m2C°
Air tightness: The entire building envelope must be totally airtight. The vapour barrier must be overlapping 500mm and sealed everywhere. All windows and doors must meet the required air-leakage standards. < 0.6 air changes /h at n50. One experience of the CEPHEUS project is that the total energy performance of a passive house is, to a large degree, dependent on how airtight the house is. Another reason for why this is of paramount importance is the risk for condensation within the wall. The temperatures within the outer layers of a super-insulated wall are quite low. If moist warm air from the interior migrates into the wall the dew point will be met and condensation will happen in the insulation.
Upgrade: Our standard age-proof 1200g/m2 vapour barrier is taped with a special double tacky strip on all joints. The special details where the roof meets the wall is covered in the instruction manual.
Ventilation: The Temovex ventilation heat-recovery system can be set to slightly lower speed for a passive house. The ventilation system for a standard Scandinavian Homes Ltd. House is designed for a 0.5 air-exchange per hour. In the passive house the recommendation is to lower this to 0.3 exch/h. The requirements are: minimum 80% transfer efficiency in the heat exchanger and 30m3 extraction air per hour and person in the house. All ventilation ducts must be insulated. The blown-in insulation in the attic covers ducts up to dia 160mm.
Upgrade: not necessary
Tap water: Around 60-70% of the hot water required for a house can be got from solar collectors on the roof. This is only possible when one half of the roof is oriented to south. This southern orientation is possibly a requisite for a passive house. A large accumulation tank of circa 500 liter with a built in electrical heater for topping up is required.
Upgrade: solar collectors, accumulation tank and controls
Cold bridging: Building element junctions: A complete thermal bridge free construction is needed. In the CEPHEUS project the linear thermal transmittance to exterior must be below 0.01W/mK°
One drawback with the super-insulated wall is the loss of floor area. A standard Nordica 125 has an internal floor area of 8.6m x 14.4m = 125m2 In the passive version the same size house has a floor area of 121m2. This means a loss of 3,3% of the internal floor area.
Another important part of the passive house concept is that the shape of the house should be optimal. The consequence of this is that only compact bodies should be used.
The domestic electric usage must also be reduced by installing the most energy efficient models of appliances available and also low energy lighning. In the passive Toreeny house we use modern high frequency fluorescents with soft and flicker free light.

A CARE agency has opened a drop-off point to help stock Wirral Food Bank's shelves as demand for emergency provisions grows.
Premier Care is accepting donations from the public at its office in Clifton Crescent in Birkenhead.
The scheme was introduced as new data shows demand for emergency provsions has more than doubled in one year across the country.
Many foodbank managers say this is a result of changes in benefits and Government sanctions.
Jay Dutson, manager of Premier Care, told the Globe: "We are very happy to become involved with the foodbank. It's our way of helping give something back to the community.
"We hope as many people as possible support us. We're planning to set up drop-off points at our seven Wirral branches, so we hope this first one is a success."
Jayne Branch-Murray, secretary at Wirral Foodbank, said: "We're very grateful to Premier Care and would encourage your readers to donate provisions at the drop-off point."
"More and more people are coming to us for help. Benefit changes are affecting many people who, in turn, are coming to use the foodbank.
"We are also seeing more working people coming through the doors. For example, those on zero hours contracts."
In a recent survey by the Trussell Trust, which runs foodbanks across the country, 83% said increasing benefit sanctions had been the cause of the rise in people needing their help.
Wirral Foodbank provides three days' nutritionally balanced food and support to each person referred to it by a partner agency.
The team has expanded, with more than 200 volunteers now helping out at the foodbank's 14 distribution centres and warehouse.
To donate to the Wirral Foodbank visit its warehouse at Unit 14, Wirral Business Centre, Dock Road, Birkenhead. Provisions can also be dropped of at any council-run One Stop Shop or library.

An Ode To "Remote Control"
MTV's first foray out of music videos came in 1987, when host Ken Ober launched a hysterical hybrid of sketch comedy meets game show called "Remote Control." For five seasons, in a studio tricked out to look like his mother's basement, Kenny carried out his lifelong dream of hosting a game show. Contestants sat in arm chairs with seat belts buckled around them, and got ejected, recliner-style, out the back (with their chairs) when they were eliminated.
Kenny went on to produce "Mind of Mencia" and "The New Adventures of Old Christine," but has clicked the off button for the final time. He was found dead yesterday at his home in Los Angeles. This loss has us looking back at his debut effort, a show which reshaped a network and shaped us in a lot of ways. "Remote Control" has kind of been on our mind since "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" was being marketed on every flat surface we saw in early September. Did the idea of spaghetti rain remind anyone else of Snack Break, when chips or cupcakes would rain on the "Remote Control" contestants, who were provided with bowls for catching their munchies—which they then mostly threw at each other? Does anyone remember Adam Sandler's guest appearances as Stud Boy, the vaguely foreign club geek, who would make contestants guess what celebrity he'd been hitting on recently?
And thank you, Kenny, for helping to launch the career of Colin Quinn, by making him your announcer, and for mocking clueless sensors with quiz questions from the well-stocked categories like "Leave Out the Beaver" and "Inside Tina Yothers." Primitive fun like this paved the way for MTV shows like "Road Rules" and even "The Hills."
If you have a remote in Heaven, we hope it's universal. [CNN]
