Monty: 'I lost it on Friday'
Colin Montgomerie says the writing was on the wall for his Open Championship challenge as early as Friday evening.
Scotland's major hope squandered a commanding first-day lead to finish in a tie for thirteenth, six strokes behind the winner, David Duval.
Montgomerie started Sunday's final round one behind the leading group, which included the American.
But, on a disastrous day for the remaining Scots in the field, the 38-year-old could not mount the charge that would have brought him a first major title.
"I didn't putt very well," admitted Montgomerie after finishing with a disappointing one over par 72, for a combined total of 280, four under par for the tournament.
Great affection
"I missed a putt for a birdie on Friday evening and the writing was on the wall then.
"I never felt comfortable with the putter after that."
But they could not inspire to victory the most consistent European golfer of his generation.
It now appears like his undeniable talents will remain unfulfilled when it comes to major titles.
Tiger Woods has suggested that Montgomerie is "too talented not to win a major", but he might never have a better chance to win the biggest of them all.
Never recovered
It looked like he was in the mood early on, but a rush of adrenaline on the third sent a birdie putt five feet past the hole.
He missed to take a bogey and never recovered.
He did manage to birdie the two par fives on the front nine to get back to five under for the day and resurrect hopes of an unlikely renaissance.
But the putting again deserted him and his hope was gone.
Andrew Coltart was the second-best placed Scot with a 73 for a two-over-par total.
Last place
Former Open champion Paul Lawrie suffered a final-day collapse to finish a stroke further back after a 76.
Gordon Brand Jr had a 74 to finish on seven over.
Worst of all, though, were Scott Henderson and Sandy Lyle, who tied for 69th and last place among those who made the cut.
Former Open champion Lyle had a disastrous 81.
Henderson had come into the tournament as a late replacement for Greg Norman and finished on 17 over par after his 76.

Cheryl inspires Brits to hit the bottle
- Asda predicts blonde hair dye will shoot up by 50% as shoppers rush to recreate Cheryl's new blonde look*
- Celebrity hairdresser Andrew Barton reveals his thoughts on Cheryl's new locks and his hair-dying secrets*
With Cheryl Cole rocking the "blondes have more fun†look, it certainly won't be long before women across the UK are inspired to follow suit. Her new blonde locks are set to cause a stir in Asda's hair aisles; the supermarket giant is predicting sales of blonde hair dye will shoot up by 50% over the weekend, prompting it to stock up on the latest beauty must-have.
Asda reports sales of mahogany hair colour leapt up by 114% last year after Cheryl stepped out with deep red tresses and her latest dramatic change is set to see shoppers back at the hair aisle once more.
Lindsey Ford, Asda's Category Planner, Health and Beauty, commented: "We know our shoppers get fashion and beauty inspiration from celebs and Cheryl is up there as one of the most influential stars. We reckon blonde hair dye will be at the top of our shoppers' list this weekend. Look out for blonde bombshells galore filling our aisles!â€
Celebrity hairdresser Andrew Barton, commented: "When faced with adversity woman often dramatically change their appearance, enjoying a new fresh look and the reactions they undoubtedly get. My insiders tell me this daring makeover is all part of a soon to be launched marketing campaign with Cheryl as spokesperson for L'Oreal Paris colour range, similar to last year when Cheryl went plum.â€
Does this look work for Cheryl? According to Andrew, there's a blonde for every woman even if it's only a couple of shades lighter than her natural colour. Many iconic women who are known for their blonde tresses are far from blonde naturally, including Beyoncé, Madonna and of course the iconic Monroe.
Hair can become stressed when it undergoes a dramatic colour change. So it's best to opt for an intensive approach to hair care, such as the Andrew Barton SOS range of products exclusive to Asda, packed with nourishing Shea Protein to leave hair soft and shiny. Using the trio of Andrew Barton SOS shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioning mask will help keep dyed hair radiant and healthy.

PENDLE Council has introduced a new way for its customers to pay their bills making it much more flexible and convenient.
From Monday, March 31, payments will no longer be accepted at Colne's Council shop, based in the Town Hall.
But customers can pay their council bills and invoices in Post Offices and local shops which provide the free PayPoint service.
Sharon Matthews, customer services team leader, said: "With more than 10 PayPoint locations in the Colne area alone, this will make paying bills more convenient and flexible.
"Many of our residents already pay this way because it gives them a choice of where to pay."
Coun Linda Crossley, who oversees Pendle Council's finances, said: "We recognise that some of our customers prefer to pay their bills in cash and many have done so for many years.
"But there are other ways to pay and cash is now one of the least common.
"The decision to no longer accept payments followed a close look at how much it was used versus the cost of keeping the cash office."

He fooled them once and was touted "the fresh prince of Penrith" by the ground announcer, but when James Segeyaro fooled the Broncos a third time, he became the man who kept the Panthers' finals hopes alive.
It was the smallest man on the field who made the biggest impact in the do-or-die clash against the Broncos on Friday night, bagging a hat-trick in Penrith's 28-12 win at Centrebet Stadium.
Segeyaro, arguably the best purchase by any club this season, single handedly destroyed the Broncos' finals hopes with an exhibition of the "show-and-go" that would have former teammate Johnathan Thurston bursting with pride.
The Panthers pocket rocket scored his first two tries of the night from close range, dummying his way past the Broncos markers untouched to make a fool of Anthony Griffin's forwards.
He capped off an incredible night out at the foot of the mountains by finishing off a brilliant team try to rack up his hat-trick.
The win has taken Penrith to 24 points, temporarily equal eighth alongside the Gold Coast Titans and Canberra Raiders. If results go their way, they could remain in the top eight by the end of the round.
The Panthers have a tough road ahead in the final two weeks with games against the Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium and Manly at Brookvale Oval in the final round.
The Broncos are on 23 points and have the luxury of playing their final two games at home at Suncorp Stadium against Wayne Bennett's Knights and Des Hasler's Bulldogs.
The match could have been marred by another controversial video referee decision when Chris Ward and Luke Patten failed to spot an offside Lachlan Coote and awarded a Broncos goal-line drop-out instead of a penalty when they were trailing 18-12. However the the Panthers failed to capitalise on the error from the ensuing set of six.
The Broncos had a golden opportunity to equalise with 15 minutes remaining when Jordan Kahu streaked away down the sideline, only to be rounded up by interchange forward Nathan Smith in an inspirational chase that spurred his side to victory.
It was the Panthers who began with all the intensity and momentum when Ryan Simpkins crashed over to give the home side an early 6-0 lead.
But a piece of brilliance from Matt Gillett, who looked like LeBron James when he basketballed a pass to the unmarked Oates on the wing, levelled the score mid-way through the first half.
Panthers super-sub Segeyaro then made a fool of the Broncos defence when his dummy from close range saw him stroll in untouched for his side's second try of the night.
After several failed attempts to penetrate the Panthers' line, the Broncos eventually cracked when a flying Oates picked up a bouncing ball on the run to level on the stroke of half-time.
It was the Panthers who began the second half like they did the opening period, with Segeyaro's dummy once again fooling the Broncos to score his second try of the night without a hand placed on him.
Broncos lock Corey Parker was then warned by the officials after abusing the referees for awarding a penalty to the Panthers for a high tackle from Ben Hannant on Kevin Kingston, critical of Kingston staying down in what he deemed a soft challenge.
The penalty provided the Panthers with a gift two points to extend the lead to 20-12 with 10 minutes remaining. Segeyaro then sealed the deal with his third try of the night.
PENRITH 28 (J Segeyaro 3 R Simpkins tries L Walsh 6 goals) bt BRISBANE 12 (C Oates 2 tries S Prince 2 goals) at Centrebet Stadium. Referee: Gavin Badger, Luke Phillips. Crowd: 8,817.

Microsoft to make changes to Web browser, group says
Published 10:00 pm, Thursday, August 28, 2003
Microsoft Corp., which this month was found to have infringed on a patented method for viewing Internet pages, will make changes to its Web browser software, according to the World Wide Web Consortium trade group.
The consortium, which counts Microsoft as a member, said the company will make changes "very soon" to its Internet Explorer program that "may affect a large number of existing Web pages." The group made the claims in a statement on its Web site, citing conversations with unidentified Microsoft officials.
Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler said the company "may take precautionary steps in response to the ruling." He declined to say what those steps are and confirmed that Microsoft has talked to the consortium about the ruling.
Latest business videos
Internet Explorer controls about 96 percent of the browser market. A federal jury in Chicago ordered Microsoft to pay $521 million to the University of California and to Chicago-based Eolas Technologies Inc. for infringing on a patented method of accessing interactive programs with a browser. Eolas' lawyer has said the company will seek hundreds of millions of dollars more in royalties.
The jury award was based on royalties for units sold between November 1998 and September 2001. Eolas has said it will ask U.S. District Judge James Zagel to extend that royalty rate to cover sales over the past two years.
Changing Internet Explorer to eliminate the infringing portions may help Microsoft avoid paying royalties going forward.
"A lot of companies will try to design around a patent to minimize damages and minimize the chance of being found to be a willful infringer," said Irah Donner, a patent lawyer at Hale & Dorr in Washington.
"You would hope that Microsoft has been thinking of that since they first got notified" of the infringement allegations.
The consortium is a collection of software, computer and Internet companies that sets standards for Web programs. The group said it doesn't know what action other sellers of such Internet software will take to cope with the ruling, which it said may apply to other programs besides Internet Explorer.

FNM MPs: New Providence is filthy
Guardian Staff Reporter
Published: Oct 05, 2013
Several Free National Movement (FNM) MPs have hit out at the government over the deteriorating state of New Providence, with one member calling it an "embarrassment" and another describing it as "filthy".
Montagu MP Richard Lightbourn lamented the unkempt sidewalks and verges around the island but particularly in his constituency, which he claims has been largely neglected for months.
"We have to get our priorities right," he said in the House of Assembly on Wednesday.
"We need a change in attitude because when you leave the island in the condition that it's in at this moment, it is a disgrace and it is an embarrassment. It's certainly an embarrassment to me, and it should be to this government."
Lightbourn said he is extremely disappointed about the condition of his constituency.
Pointing especially to the park near Uriah McPhee Primary School, Lightbourn said the state of the park poses a danger to the children who use it.
"If you go to Uriah McPhee park, which is right next to the school, you can literally lose the children in the grass. The grass is this high," he said, pointing to his waist.
"This is a school that has young children in it. It's hard to conceive. I've made numerous complaints to the ministry about the condition."
The Nassau Guardian visited the park yesterday and noticed that it has now been cleaned up.
Lightbourn said he did see some work being done on some of the verges in his constituency on Sunday. But he said the efforts need to be increased.
"Probably the whole of this island is an absolute disgrace," he said. "I don't know whether the ministry has given any contracts, but certainly if they have, they (the companies contracted) are not performing their duty."
He also spoke about the slow place of garbage collection. He noted that garbage sometimes goes uncollected for weeks.
Opposition Leader Dr. Hubert Minnis also complained about the state of his Killarney constituency.
He said the state of the Tropical Gardens park is deteriorating, adding that residents can no longer use the park as the grass is overgrown and garbage has accumulated.
He said garbage has also accumulated on the beach west of Saunders Beach, which is a popular spot for beach-goers.
Minnis said the Gambier community is also facing serious issues.
He said the roads have fallen into a state of disrepair and the verges are unkempt.
"What exactly is going on?" he asked. "We are all aware of the song 'Funky Nassau'. They did not mean it literally, but we are all exposed to funky Nassau. It's now a funky Nassau."
St. Anne's MP Hubert Chipman offered similar criticism.
"The country is filthy," he said.
Chipman said he has written to several officials in the Ministry of Works on the issue.
He said the minister of works needs to address the problem immediately.

As it's been pointed out in another issue (#425144: Other user's profile creation requires "administer content" privilege.), it would be really great to allow a group of users to create profiles for other users, too. Unfortunately, currently it's only possible using the 'administer nodes' permission, which is not very nice. (We don't necessarily want users with 'editor' role to see all the node settings.)
So I'm proposing a solution here by attaching a patch that introduces a new permission called 'create profile for users'.
In a nutshell, users with this permission will be able to access the profile creation form - even if they already have an existing profile node - and will also be able to set author of the node (hence the profile's owner) by accessing the node author field.
Diffed against HEAD, should also work with 6.x-1.0-beta4.

Code style violation.
"create profile for users" doesn't seem that clear to me. What's important is the ability to create it for others, right? Perhaps that should be reflected better by the permission name.

Thanks for the patch! But having problems. I applied this patch against 6.x-1.0-beta4. I see the permission available for me to set and was available to apply this permission to a role. But the role to which I added this permission still doesn't seem to have access. I'm expecting to see the same link that the admin sees on the user profile page "Create the user's profile", nor is there a "Profile" tab on the user's edit screen to create it there. Should I see it there?

Comment #14bcmiller0 CreditAttribution: bcmiller0 commented
here is how we allowed other users to handle profiles of others in our setup by calling it 'administer content profile nodes' as a permission that could be given to someone for this purpose.
Comment #15coreyp_1 CreditAttribution: coreyp_1 commented
I would suggest re-naming the permission to "administer content profile nodes".
"create profile for any user" is less exact, and more case-specific.
Comment #16NikLP CreditAttribution: NikLP commented
This is a serious limitation and definitely needs addressing. It seems that we already have permissions in the system that would do the job just as adequately though? Instead of introducing new permissions, why can't we use the " can create content" ? That way we can segregate permissions when there are more than one profile types in play. Alternatively we could just remove the checks for "administer nodes" which seem to be unnecessary in any case?
Edit: I've tried bcmiller's patch and it seems to work fine. There is one issue tho - rather than simply replacing the "administer nodes" permission with the new one, it would make sense to leave the previous permission there and simply use the new one as an additional perm. It makes no sense to preclude users with the "administer nodes" permission from editing content profile nodes, after al! :)
Comment #17NikLP CreditAttribution: NikLP commented
I think there is an issue with this patch... I can't quite work out what's happening, but when I create profiles for users whilst logged in as a user that has the "administer content profile nodes" permission, the author of the node is set to the user who created the node, not the user who the profile relates to, as is the proper method.

Comment #20mrfelton CreditAttribution: mrfelton commented
Patch at #13 works for me. However, I have two types of content_profile nodes, each one is used for users of a different role on the site. Administrators have the permissions to create both of these content types, and with this patch, when an administrator visits the profile page of another user, he sees 2 tabs - one for each content type. I want to be able to limit the tabs that show so that only the one that is relevant to the role of this user is visible. I think this is probably out of the scope of this patch however.

Actually, which this patch does kinda work. This is what happens.
1. Admin user creates new user
2. Admin user visits new users profile page
3. Admin user clicks the tab for the content profile node
4. Admin user fills in the form and saves te content profile node.
5. Admin user is now redirected to his own profile page
step 5 should really send the user back to the profile page of the user who he just created the profile for rather than his own profile.
Comment #22NikLP CreditAttribution: NikLP commented
mrfelton: can you attempt to confirm the bug I address in #17? I think the profiles are not correctly linked to the relevant user when created by a user that is not using the existing permissions...
Furthermore, I totally agree with your suggestion in #20, I am at this exact moment looking at a way to do this in code, and came to the queue looking for a patch when I saw this issue was updated! :) It's definitely out of scope however - I think what we need is extra config available on the node type c_p options, so that we can control visibility of tabs OR strictly tie role(s) to profile(s) type(s). Shouldn't be too hard I don't think?
Comment #23mrfelton CreditAttribution: mrfelton commented
@NikLP: No, for me the author of the node is set correctly. I just get redirected to the wrong place. For the problem mentioned in #20, I think it be made so that content profile nodes can be tied to specific roles only - not just a permission on the visibility of the tab. eg from my use case - If a user is in the 'client' role, they may have a 'client_profile' node. If a user is in the 'vendor' role, they may only have a 'vendor_profile' node. It should not be possible to create a vendor_profile node for anyone who is not in the vendor role. Currently, you can create any type of content_profile node for any type of user.
Comment #24NikLP CreditAttribution: NikLP commented
Quite, so in the settings for each content_profile type, we need an array of roles checkboxes, and allow for selection of possible roles that can be assigned this content type as a profile. Then just filter add/edit links etc for who can be assigned these types :)

Comment #26Cyberwolf CreditAttribution: Cyberwolf commented
Patch at #14 does not seem to work as intended, I don't seem to be able to create a profile as a user with "administer content profile nodes". I get the message "Profile has been created" but the "Create the user's Profile." is still there and none of the info I entered in edit/profile appears in that form again.

Comment #28NikLP CreditAttribution: NikLP commented
Can you leave details please Cyberwolf? I have the same problem - I didn't think it was caused by another module - the side effects you describe relate to the fact that the author of the profile node in question is not set to that of the user who "owns" the profile. That would be normal behaviour for content_profile nodes.
This explains why the link appears, and also why the profile doesn't show up on the user's page. If you can offer more details, *please* leave them here!

#13 is working for me. I am allowing a higher-permissioned administrator to create users and fill out their content profiles. The user can also edit the content profile. The admin does not have "administer nodes" enabled, but "create profiles for any user" from the patch.
#14 caused me the same issue that NikLP is reporting : The creator of another user's profile results in the creator's uid taking over said profile.
#14 also caused my site to have some very tripped out permissions issues once it was unpatched. I highly recommend using node_access_rebuild() in a php file or rebuilding your permissions some other way after unpatching.
#14 should be removed from this thread, please.

Comment #41Ron Williams CreditAttribution: Ron Williams commented
Patch #36 seems to remove administer nodes permissions and replaces it with "administer content profiles." We should remove an existing permissions simply because this module no longer needs them to function.
Then again, maybe I messed up somewhere. Can anyone verify whether they had the administer node permission removed?
Comment #42tim.plunkett CreditAttribution: tim.plunkett commented
@Ron Williams, the patch creates a new permission, and then later checks for it instead of the core permission. It will not affect the older permissions assigned to your users in any way, just assign them the new one if they had "administer users".
Comment #43fago CreditAttribution: fago commented
|Reviewed & tested by the community
|» Needs work
Reviewing the patch #36:
+ * Implementation of hook_perm().
+ */
+ function content_profile_perm() {
+ return array('administer content profiles');
Generally this makes sense, however the naming of the permission would suggest me that I'm able to credit/edit/delete all content-profile-nodes. However the patch does not do so and I do not see a way to do so in d6 without implementing the node access API and providing node grants, what is clearly overkill.
So, perhaps we can find a better name for the permission what implies what it does?
// Else user may view the page when they are going to create their own profile
// or have permission to create it for others.
global $user;
- if ($user->uid == $account->uid || user_access('administer nodes') ){
+ if ($user->uid == $account->uid || user_access('administer content profiles') ){
return node_access('create', $type);
Still, with 'administer nodes' I can create profiles for others. So we need to check it too, or better replace the permission part with a node_access() check. I guess this applies to other hunks in the patch too.
+ if (user_access('administer content profiles')) {
+ $form['author']['#access'] = TRUE;
+ $form['#submit'] = array_merge(array('content_profile_form_submit'), (array)$form['#submit']);
+ }
Why that array_merge() trickery? A $form['#submit'][] = 'callback'; should be fine too?
+ * Special submit handler for users with 'administer content profiles' role.
+ */
+function content_profile_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
+ if (user_access('administer content profiles')) {
First off the comment is wrong, it's a permission. Then, why does the submit handler check access again? That's not needed.

Here is an updated version of the patch #13, re-rolled on the latest 6.x-1.x and adjusted per #49: either 'administer content profiles' or 'create [profile] content' permissions will allow users to create profile content for other users. The 'administer content profiles' permission also allows access to the admin settings in the content types section.

Patch in #52 introduces a new security vulnerability which makes ordinary users without "administer content profile" permission to be able to edit the content profile of users created with the Subuser module (Note: These sub-users were not created by them). I am currently using the Subuser and Shared email modules.
I expect only user1, the parent of the sub-user, and the subuser himself to be able to edit their content profile fields, not any authenticated user who does not even have a permission to create subusers. Security vulnerability is removed when patch is reversed.
FYI: If this info is helpful or necessary, the subuser module came with a patch to the core user module to work, and the module works as designed.
FYI 2: There is also an eye on this content_profile issue to enable 2 patches at http://drupal.org/node/571660 committed to the subuser module.
Comment #55greg.1.anderson CreditAttribution: greg.1.anderson commented
#54 does not describe a security vulnerability, but rather a permissions bug. Note also that the patch in #52 intentionally gives access to edit profiles to anyone who has 'create [profile] content' permissions. Is there any chance that the modules. Is there some chance that the configuration you describe above might directly or indirectly grant this permission?
Comment #56itpromanager CreditAttribution: itpromanager commented
Actually from my observation, this issue only affects users created using the subuser module. After applying patch, any user who has "create profile content" and "edit own profile content" permissions is also able to edit the content profile of *any user* created by other users using the subuser module. (I mean, A can edit the content profile of C who was created by B using the subuser module). Note that the subuser module comes with its own permissions "administer subusers" and "create subusers" etc.

Re-rolled patch from #52. Changes:
- Fixed code in new hook_update_N(). Was giving the new 'administer content profiles' permission to users with the 'administer users' permission, rather than the 'administer nodes' permission which is what it was supposed to be doing (based on all discussion in this thread and the comment above the hook_update_N code itself).
- Removed trailing whitespace from new hook_update_N function comment (per tim.plunkett in #40).
- Added comment describing the content_profile_page_access() function.
- Replace
$form['#submit'] = array_merge(array('content_profile_form_submit'), (array)$form['#submit']);with
$form['#submit'][] = 'content_profile_form_submit';in content_profile_form_alter() (per fago in #43).

BAYTOWN, Texas - Police are searching for a man they said took photos up a woman's skirt while she was getting her car serviced.
Baytown police said the woman went to Elite Lube Shop in the 4000 block of Garth Road about 5 p.m. Monday to renew her inspection sticker.
The culprit was a man who was applying for a job at the shop.
The woman told police that she pulled into a bay and was standing beside an oil-changing pit talking to a mechanic when she noticed a flash coming from below.
"She believed it to be a camera flash that was directed up her skirt," Lt. Eric Freed said.
The manager of the shop said he was not overseeing the applicant at the time because he stepped out to get some car parts. He said that by the time he got back, the police were there and the applicant was gone.
Police said the man filled out an application, so they have his name. They are still looking for him.

As the anti-coal collective gathers more mainstream backers, St Louis-based Mr Boyce says the industry needs to do more to counter the attacks, particularly the global fossil fuels divestment campaign.
But he is confident that "coal always wins out".
"If as an industry if we spent more time educating, if we all spent more money, we would have less of these symbolic moves, which are really done without a full knowledge of the equation," he said in an exclusive interview.
If the coal industry "spent more time and money explaining the good that we do . . . people [would] understand what the new coal industry looks like", he said.
Mr Boyce expects global coal demand to grow by 700 million tonnes over the next three years, driven in the main by China.
Peabody, which has a market capitalisation of about $US4.2 billion ($4.5 billion), is one of the largest coal producers in the world.
"There is a reason why coal has been the No.1 fuel in the world for the last 10 years, and why it is projected to be No.1 over the next 10 years: because it always wins out," he said.
"From a global perspective, 80 per cent of our energy comes from fossil fuels. It's going to be that way for the rest of our lifetimes and beyond."
A global divestment campaign to push banks and fund managers to pull capital from the coal industry has just started to gain momentum in Australia. It aims to stop coal's progress by forcing a wedge between the fossil fuel industry and debt and equity investors.
"I think the folks that have gone down this path are doing it perhaps [because] they believe there is some symbolism in it," Mr Boyce said.
"But at the end of the day they are not putting economic activity – and ultimately they are not putting what is the best plan for a better environment – at the top of their priority list."
The local coal divestment movement is backed by 350.org and activist investment group Market Forces; the key targets now are Australia's big four banks. It has won support from Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, AMP Capital, education industry fund Unisuper and a collective of smaller Australian deposit takers including bankmecu, Credit Union Australia, Beyond Bank and Defence Bank.
FIfth-largest Australian producer
The lion's share of Peabody's operations are in the United States, mainly in thermal coal, but it is also the fifth-largest coal producer in Australia, with a portfolio of 10 mines. Peabody has taken a huge earnings hit on its Australian holdings, amid dramatic falls in coal prices since the lofty highs of mid-2011.
But Mr Boyce is bullish on the future for coal exports, saying China will not adopt a carbon emissions cap, despite growing speculation that Beijing could enforce one.
Last month, economist
But Mr Boyce said that though China was working to reduce its carbon intensity per unit of GDP, a cap on carbon emissions was "just not on the cards".
"Those are two completely different things," he said. "Ross Garnaut, of all people, should know that China can't grow its economy without having a continued total increase in carbon. As long as we are globally 80 per cent fossil fuels, you are going to have growth in carbon emissions. "
Mr Boyce also applauded Prime Minister
He pointed to the European Union, saying member countries had "decimated their economies, moving down these 10-year paths of high-renewable targets and carbon management".
"They went through the European crisis because they forgot, first and foremost, that you've got to have a healthy economy before you can move forward with environmental improvement."
As for politics on his home soil, Mr Boyce was sceptical that President
He said energy efficiency should be a key focus but it was "misguided and wrong" to try to achieve that without coal.
And Mr Boyce was scathing of climate change advocates who argue it is the most critical issue facing the world today, pointing instead to the challenge of pulling 3.5 billion people out of poverty globally.
"I think energy poverty is the biggest environmental and human problem that we have; I don't believe that it is the changing climate," he said. "The environmental issues that are driven by global poverty far outweigh anything we might model looking at climate models for the next 50 years. And remember, that's all they are: models.
"How we expect to drive global economic activity and have a healthy micro and macro-environment on this globe when we've got that much energy poverty? I just don't understand."

BP Comment Quick Links
August 14, 2014
An Agent's Take
The Small World
July was a very satisfying month. A couple months ago, I wrote about going through the free agent process with my client, Jeremy Jeffress. Late in July, Jeremy was added to the Brewers' 40-man roster and called up to the big leagues again. In his first outing, against Cincinnati, his first pitch was clocked at 98. His last was 101. The outing went as well as it possibly could have and Jeremy has since thrown 8 2/3 innings while allowing only one run. When the Brewers came to Tampa and I got to catch up in person with Jeremy for the first time since April, Adam McCalvey caught a great moment in my career:
It was genuinely—and I hate to cite this film, but…—a Jerry Maguire moment. I really think Jeremy has figured things out and is finally in a position to success after so many years, but regardless of how things go I will always have a great reminder of that special moment that rarely happens between agent and player.
It's rare that an agent is able to hook up with a player who not only makes it to the big leagues but takes said agent with him to a pay day. Everyone here probably knows the big agencies out there and probably assumes that someone like myself, a one-man band, has it rough. Poaching is a real issue in this business. I've had players tell me other agencies have offered them cash, called them incessantly, even flown them around the country trying to coax them into leaving. I myself have met with players already represented. Players have defected to my agency and I have lost players. It happens. The MLBPA has put measures in place to prevent blatant poaching, but MLBPA governs only 40-man members, so minor-league players are fair game. I am a constant target. I'm not complaining—like I said, I've had guys defect to me—but it still stings losing a guy. I was recently in Minneapolis for the All-Star festivities and the hotel lobby was a swarm of agents, frothing over the prospect of poaching a Futures Gamer. (You can always tell someone is an agent; they dress how they think they should look, some bad-dream Bob Sugar nonsense.You could play Where's Waldo if you knew what to look for.)
Back on track: signing clients, losing clients, setting up meetings, etc. After the draft there is a bounty of players entering pro ball, and an equal amount leaving pro ball. Guys get released so the new kids have roster spots to fill. I don't deal with the draft anymore, so the only way I can get clients is via referrals. Most of my clients do an awesome job looking out for me, and I do my own independent scouting, so I've built up a client list I'm really happy with. The first question I ask a player when the courting process starts is, "What are your expectations of what an agent should be?" Then I listen, digging as far as I can into a player's makeup, his attitude toward life and his attitude on the field. Every so often you find someone with that extra special makeup, where his draft position, the size of his signing bonus, the obstacles in his organization, none of it matters. You just know the kid is going to make it one way or another. You can't say that of course, because you don't know the future, but going into things it's something an agent has to believe. Otherwise, what's the point of working with athletes in the first place?
This is the season's home stretch for an agent. Most endorsement work for the 2014 season is done, although there are some out-of-the-box ideas I've been able to work on this year that have stretched my endorsement season well into August. Usually the last of the deals come right after the signing deadline. Companies are eager to bring in the newest draft class and every major leaguer at this point should be taken care of, so all that's left are non-traditional endorsements: non-sport apparel, hunting gear, headphones, car companies, etc. The occasional local autograph signing pops up year round, but those are predominately reserved for major-league players and usually limited to local markets.
So for the rest of the year, just a few endorsements will pop up, and then there are three different agent meetings I attend, including the the winter meetings. I have to speak to all the ball clubs regarding my clients' futures at some point, I have to prepare for the Winter Meetings, September callups, winter ball, the Rule 5 draft, free agency, and I have to maintain the equipment status for all the players I have. I will sign more clients before the year ends, and in all likelihood I will lose some guys to retirement, injuries, or a poacher—or, I'll just get fired. (I am considering chronicling the experience of being fired from both sides, but it's a touchy subject. I try my best to give the absolute truth in these columns because, as Hunter S. Thompson said, "The truth is never told between 9-5." Honesty and transparency usually wins out in the end.)
I work alone, so it's all on me, but I like the pressure; I like the responsibility of handling the careers of the men I work for, and I live for the all the good (and bad, and in between) that comes with the job. I have the luxury of being selective, and, because I'm small, the challenges force me to adapt.
For instance, one of the newer developments in the world of baseball is the proliferation of social media. Social media for athletes is definitely a blessing/curse model. I have one GCL client who has 14,000 followers. He gets paid for tweets now, something that obviously didn't exist a decade ago. Some of my MLB clients don't have 1,000 followers, so it's been amazing to see how well the younger guys use social media. With that, they have given me a totally new vehicle with which to market them to companies. Companies now might notice a late-round pick just because of his Twitter following. Its incredible. Instagram is huge, too, but it's something I personally do not have a ton of experience with. Hell, I only became active on Twitter this year and only have around 1,100 followers, but that's okay—I was told a long time ago you never want to make yourself more important than your client.
And that is a valuable lesson for anyone interested in this field. Do not enter this business with any delusions of grandeur. Do not do this to become famous. When my agency was in its infancy, I once told a potential client that if he hired me I would make him famous, to which he replied: "I don't need you to make me famous. I need you to make me rich." Probably the best advice I have ever been given by anyone ever in this business. Along these lines, the other thing I most remember is the player who told me that his dream was to have people look at his baseball card and say "Wow, this guy is the most overpaid player in the game." It was said in jest, 100 percent, but there is a lot of truth to the statement. In the end it is a business, the entertainment business.
I happen to be on the business side. I am on the money-generating side; I help make sure a player is able to provide as much for his family as possible. I'm a value maximizer. It's a choice I made early: Work for the players, or work for the ballclub? I was exposed to the club side early, and I just knew I wanted to represent the players. I remember the moment I ceased being fan and became an advocate instead, and I haven't looked back since.

Continued good luck to Jeremy, during his brief time with Toronto I learned of the back story of his health and have been pulling for him ever since.
Aug 14, 2014 05:25 AM
Thank you and holy stream of consciousness. Anyone got any ideas for next month
Aug 14, 2014 06:13 AM
"I was exposed to the club side early"? Anything you can share in this regard? (I understand maybe not)
Aug 14, 2014 08:34 AM
How do you help players deal with injuries? Do agents work to help players get medical care, physical therapy, assistance with living arrangements while dealing with injuries? Does an agent set up contacts for a player to discuss medical and rehabilitation issues with medical practitioners or other players who had similar injuries?
Aug 14, 2014 21:12 PM
Something about how players see themselves, and how you as an agent have to be both supportive and realistic? Do players usually have a fairly good idea of what they're worth and their importance or otherwise to a team?
Aug 15, 2014 03:44 AM
The process of getting guys spots in winter ball perhaps? I guess that's more team than agent although maybe not for guys who are free agents.
Aug 14, 2014 07:35 AM
Does an agent negotiate a deal to get the player in the Minor League teams of video games (like MLB 2014)?

I've been Here, There And Everywhere for the last few weeks dealing with new baby stuff, and this site has suffered a lack of updates. I know there's been a ton of Paul McCartney news, in particular, but I could do with some help making sense of it all.
I don't write about TV appearances, as there are far too many to stay on top of (and many people can't see them due to country restrictions etc). So I won't be covering Paul on Jimmy Fallon, Graham Norton etc.
I thought I'd begin a to-do list here, but I would appreciate any input from you all. Here's an initial draft list:
- 'New' album release (blog post)
- 'New' song pages (inc Queenie Eye video)
- Covent Garden (London) appearance and HMV signing
- Paul live at Maida Vale, El Capitan, Times Square, NY school, and iHeartRadio festival
- Ringo's Photograph and Octopus's Garden book publications (blog posts)
Is there anything else major that I've missed? I don't do rumours, only confirmed news. Help! I know there's a separate Beatles news thread, which is excellent, but it contains more info than I can realistically cover.
8 November 2012
I know it was a TV show, but the Jimmy Kimmel concert on Hollywood Blvd was a major event.
8 November 2012
Joe said
Thanks - wasn't that the El Capitan Outdoor Stage? I'm writing about it now.
Oh! I didn't realize you were calling it that. El Capitan is an old palace theatre on the same street now owned by Disney (which owns ABC, where Jimmy Kimmel airs), so I guess that's what they call the stage when they put it up. But I don't think most people would recognize it with that title. It would be more recognizable either as the Hollywood Blvd concert or the Jimmy Kimmel Live show concert.

I went through the news thread items back to July, and tried to pick out more or less major stuff you may or may not already have:
* Straight No Chaser's "Wonderful Christmastime" using original Paul vocals.
* Paul in the Red Hot + Fela video.
* High in the Clouds movie in production.
* "New" on the "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2" soundtrack
* Bloody Beetroots single.
* George Harrison Day commemorating the 50th anniversary of his trip to Illinois
* Dhani's cover of "For You Blue" - a few links at this page.
* Ringo receiving the French Medal of Honor.
* Frank Sinatra recording for Maureen's bday.
* Peter Blake reimagining Sgt. Pepper for his 80th birthday.
* Stuart exhibition in NY.
Thanks for that. I'll do something on the Simply Shakespeare benefit, possibly not today though. I'll work through the rest when I have a bit of time. Really useful to have the info there.
Regarding El Capitan, I was going by the venue/concert names on setlist.fm. I've published the article now, and put Kimmel's name in brackets in the headline.

Cool, I saw when I was checking to see what you had so I didn't duplicate too much in the list.

Housekeeping 1: Congratulations to Annette, winner of the amazing glow-in-the-dark New Balance jacket! Thanks to all who entered. Housekeeping 2: I just HAPPILY completed a $50 donation to The One Fund for Boston. $30 for your comments on this post and $20 because every penny counts. ###
Normally, this is where I'd give you my standard disclosure. That Runner's World invited me on an all expenses-paid, swagtastic, race entry comp'd blogging extravaganza and that all opinions are my own. That's all true (and you can read my full disclosure policy right here) but it's just not enough. Here's how I really feel.
What I do — write, take pictures, share details of my life — is work but it's the type of job I wake up every single day excited to do. The benefits are pretty fantastic. I get to know so many incredible people, I have access and invitations to the world's best events and opportunities and I'm given STUFF. Lots of it. I get to do and see things that just aren't available to everyone, and I don't forget for a single second how lucky that makes me. It's my privilege to take advantage of these opportunities — and I hope, to pay it forward. I honestly want to bring YOU along with me, if not in person, then through photos and words and experiences. And in each one of those…every picture, every tweet, every post…I hope you sense my extreme gratitude for not only the sponsors and organizations that for some reason see me as a valuable member of the team, but for YOU, my beloved readers. I live a charmed existence, for sure, and it never fails to make me emotional when I think of how blessed I feel. This weekend, in particular, shocked my system in the best way. From the Runner's World staff and editors to the volunteers to the passionate sponsors who seemed truly excited to meet and work with us, this weekend affected me deeply. Thank you is not enough, but I hope that by saying it over and over, you know how thankful and gracious I feel to be able to do this work.
OK, on to the weekend that replenished my heart and soul in a way I didn't know I needed so desperately.
I met some incredible people, discovered some really amazing products, hung out with some of the most inspirational people I've ever met and figured since I got a couple of awards (finisher medals for the 5K and the 10K), I should give some virtual awards out myself.
So, for…
- …HILLIEST RACE COURSE IN MY HISTORY: Bethlehem, PA
I thought Clearwater had hills? Or Clermont? DUDES. You warned me, and you were right. Even the 5K course challenged me on the up and downhill sections. Beautiful, beyond words. From the leaves that had just started to change color to the incredible finish along the steel stacks, Bethlehem exceeded my expectations. But boy, did my lower back and hamstrings hurt on Saturday morning. Also, it was cold.
I didn't stick around for the half marathon on Sunday, but from what I understand, that one was hilly too.
- …BEST PACER EVER: Jamie
My friend Jamie is fast. Like, BQ fast. But she is also one of the kindest and sweetest people I know. At my very first 5K ever, she finished way before me, but then came back for the last quarter mile to cheer me on. I have never forgotten that. So when she asked to run with me for both races on Saturday, I couldn't believe it. She was not racing, just needed the mileage, and it was such a treat to talk to her (and while I didn't push nearly as hard as I could have, she definitely kept my spirits up for the entire course). Plus, we made pretty cute cover girls.
- …FUNNIEST TRAVEL EXPERIENCE: "Candy" at the coffee shop
I traveled through Charlotte on my way to Allentown, and I was shocked to hear thick, southern accents at the airport. I honestly couldn't understand the barista (he was very nice, though!) and apparently the feeling was mutual. In North Carolina, just call me "Candy."
- …AWESOME ROOMMATE WHO IGNORES THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: Theodora
Nothing like the roar of a breast pump to make conversation a little awkward, huh? Theodora, one of my favorite people in the world, was kind enough to let me whip my boobs out and pump when I needed to, and didn't even blush (much).
I also could have and maybe should have given her the award for best hotel sommelier.
- …MOST ECLECTIC GROUP OF BLOGGERS: Us
Mushy time! The bloggers on this trip were a fascinatingly mixed crowd. Some blog full-time, some are hobby bloggers. Some run FAST and some less so. But we all had a blast and I think — hope — appreciated how amazing this opportunity was.
In our group: http://carrotsncake.com/ http://www.hungryrunnergirl.com/ http://skinnyrunner.com/ http://www.eatingbirdfood.com http://www.runeatrepeat.com http://losingweightinthecity.com http://katywidrick.com http://www.sweetlifeericka.com/ http://relentlessforwardcommotion.com http://www.irunnerblog.com/ http://racepacejess.com http://enthusiasticrunner.com/ http://www.runningbun.com/ http://dietitianontherun.com/ http://www.susanruns.com http://www.runningbecauseican.com/ http://www.fairytalesandfitness.com http://JanetOber.com http://runninglovingliving.com http://www.running4two.com plus the very welcome event-crasher http://stuftmama.com/
- …MOST INSPIRATIONAL COMMUTE-TO-WORK PROGRAM: Runner's World
Bart Yasso took us on a tour of Runner's World HQ, which had all sorts of interesting nooks and crannies. But the one that had me gasping most was the room full of bikes — because so many of their employees ride to work. (Dear Santa…)
Honestly, what a cool company. I didn't meet one employee who didn't smile, talk passionately about his/her job or truly care about telling good stories. And they were awestruck by us? Crazy. I absolutely believe they work hard and have stressful jobs, but darn if they don't make Rodale a pretty inspirational place.
- …BEST CONFERENCE FOOD: Runner's World
Local. Organic. Vegetarian-friendly. I was not kidding when I assigned the Mushroom Tacos al Pastor a place in the Top 5 Meals Ever list. Even carnivores at my table were blown away.
Farro. Black bean cupcakes. Kale-almond pesto. YUM. YUM. YUM. Most of the meals we were served were out of the Runner's World Cookbook (not an affiliate link) — and I liked it so much I bought Jamie a copy (we all got one free but I was not about to give mine up!).
- …COOLEST NAME BACKED UP BY THE COOLEST STORY: Golden Harper
Golden is…well, a character. A speedy runner (2:44 marathon at age 12) who now does ultra distances, Golden is also kind of Dr. Running Technique. He started pulling his running shoes apart as a kid, even putting them in the toaster to better manipulate things and that eventually led him to start his own company — Altra. Believe me this: I have tried a lot of shoes and met a lot of great brand ambassadors, but Altra has stolen my heart. I really believe in what he taught us about the power of zero drop design. (I'm still running in different brands — Altra for triathlon, Saucony for middle and long distances and New Balance for long distance and cross-training. It depends a lot on what I'm hoping to achieve.)
- …BEST LEGS IN A RUNNING SKIRT: Bart Yasso
I mean…does it get better than running beside Bart Yasso while we all wear running skirts? Take a look at the video that Running Skirts put together:
- …FUNNIEST SCAVENGER HUNT PARTNER: Heather
Heather from Relentless Forward Commotion was one of the only bloggers who had arrived when I got to the hotel, so we hung out … and talked about EVERYTHING. Motherhood. Running. New England. Then, we tackled the absolutely amazing 30-item scavenger hunt that Runner's World had set up for us.
She and I may have been among the most competitive in the group, but having her beside me as we tried to find some crazy things was pretty awesome.
- …CRAZIEST/COOLEST SWAG: see below
We got the hookup, and I'm still trying to pick my jaw off the ground.
Sponsors who gave us their items or special support included: Altra (shoes!) Running Skirts (skirts! or in my case, sleeves!) Ortholite (shoe inserts!) Icon Fitness (yoga mat! yoga bag! yoga block! a resistance band! a foam roller!) Bondi Band (headband!) Injinji (toe socks! a hat!) PRO Compression (compression socks!) SPIBelt (a belt!) The Stick (a stick!) Wild Planet (tuna!) Belvita (breakfast treats!) Deer Park Water (Nestle) (water!) Run Donna (an iPhone cover!) Bermuda Marathon (information and a coupon!) The yoga tote, by the way, is pretty awesome. It has a built-in spot for a yoga mat and is so big that I actually put my original carry-on bag INSIDE it for the plane (too cheap to check a bag unless I have to). It's only $20 at Wal-Mart (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Lotus-Deluxe-Yoga-Tote/27396058).
- …CELEBRITY WHO PRETENDED IT WASN'T WEIRD WHEN I FAN-GIRL GUSHED ALL OVER HER/HIM: tie for Summer Sanders and Dave McGillivray
I'm sorry but I'm not sorry at how crazy I went when I met Summer Sanders. I had her poster on my wall when I was a young swimmer. I loved the most recent article about her in Runner's World. And when she walked in, she amazed me even more with her genuine EXCITEMENT to meet us!
The PR team had to basically force me to move away after Summer gave me an autograph. WORTH IT.
But truly, the man who inspired me most this weekend was Dave McGillivray. Among many, many other things, he's the Race Director for the Boston Marathon.
I bought a copy of his book right after his presentation and read it cover to cover on the plane.
- …BEST BREAKFAST FOR UNDER $10: William's Family Diner
On Saturday, with 15K behind us, a group of us went in search of pancakes. And we found it. Running Bun has a baby bun on board, so she ordered extra cheese fries and I ordered plate of corn fritters…in addition to everything else. And yet with tip, it still only ended up being about $13 per person.
- …MOST PATIENT AT-HOME SUPPORT STAFF: Lucas and Audrey
Gotta get mushy again. I could not have left my 1-year-old for nearly four days if I did not have their love and support. Lucas, by the way, already asked when I can leave again so they can have another daddy-daughter adventure. They even sent me photos and Facetimes through the weekend letting me know that they were proud of me. Seeing her smile when I got home was amazing. There's more to say. I want to share more of what I learned from Dave and Bart and Golden and Summer and Melanie and more, and I want to tell you about how it felt falling in love with running once more. But that's for the future. For now, and for always: thanks for reading. Your support makes all of this possible. If I ever stop remembering how lucky I am, smack me.

Kate MccGwire
More feather works by Kate MccGwire. London.
This is quite impressive – as feathers often are. Does Kate MccGwire make feather sculptures that she later photographs or does she create all of this digitally?
Hi Davidkus
Yes they are site-specific sculptures made from feathers that I then photograph. ( not digital)
i'm such a huge fan of Kate's work… it really blows me away.
These are really fantastic. I thought they were snake scales at first.
- Hanna
wow…simply stunning. it's beautiful and kind of scary at the same time. great!!
- lapetitefaon
For some reason I get the slightest feeling as if it's part of some kind of scary movie! haha
Congrats! but i also like the stigma series: sophisticated in color and composition.
Feather boa, plume (plumage) of smoke… nice.
- Rain
Definitely have a nightmarish aura to them, but very cool.
I've been a fan of her and seeing her new works, gives me the same feeling when I discovered her works for the first time. Stunning.
How to you go about collecting such large quantities of feathers?
I collect the feathers in many different ways – you may want to check out a short film about my work which explains some of the processes. Kate
stunning work kate i hope to see some in person at some point in my life!
- Sakara Dawson-Marsh
Hey Kate! Your new piece Corvid was amazing and the video is great!! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
- ben
wow. and thanks for the video link kate, always good to hear from the artists themselves, love your work
- ammar
seriously stunning!! at first, it looks creepy to me. but then, its totally amazing.
good work.
love love love this , there is a menacing element to it and beautifull also

Ullrich, who won the Tour in 1997, has pulled out of the Circuit de la Sarthe on 4-7 April following the recurrence of an old knee injury.
Ullrich has irritated an injury he first sustained in March, according to his T-Mobile team's doctor.
Ullrich said: "When the knee is better I will start to prepare for the Tour with my usual discipline."
Ullrich, 32, has been backed to win this year's Tour de France by American cycling legend Lance Armstrong.
Ullrich has finished runner-up in the Tour de France five times, three times behind Armstrong, who was champion for seven successive years before announcing his retirement after his 2005 success.
Ullrich said: "I was really looking forward to competitive racing. From now on I will pay more attention to ensure the irritation is fully healed, then I can progressively increase the training load."
All Ullrich's major rivals have already shown their early season form this month.
Italian Ivan Basso won the challenging three-stage Criterium International; Kazakhstan's Alexandre Vinokourov triumped in the Tour of Castilla and Leon; and American Floyd Landis came out on top in the week-long Paris-Nice.

Road Sign Misspells Three Out Of Four Words
Posted By Ben Goulding, 27 July, 2009 | permalink
A sign pointing southbound drivers onto Business Highway 51 misspelled the villages of Rothschild and Schofield in central Wisconsin. Not only that, but the painter had also misspelled the name of the road, Business Highway 51 as Buisness Highway 51.
As a matter of fact, the only word that was spelt correctly was "exit", which is coincidentally the place that I would be sending those incompetent workers.
By Sunday morning the sign had been replaced with all of the words spelt correctly. Here's the new version.

A NEW Special Constabulary recruitment campaign has been launched in Dorset.
Specials get involved in a range of day-to-day policing activities, including patrol work, community events, targeted operations and specialist training.
There are special constables dedicated to traffic, marine and rural policing as well as general patrol duties.
They are volunteer police officers who have the same powers as regular police officers, wear the same uniform and are given the same equipment.
A special constable is asked to work a minimum of 16 hours per month and, where possible, this is broken down to a minimum of four hours per week, but the working hours are flexible for those that can give more time if they can spare it.
Chief Constable Debbie Simpson said: "Boosting the Special Constabulary in Dorset is an exciting new vision led by the Police and Crime Commissioner, which we are hoping will result in greater engagement in policing by our local communities."
The closing date for applications is Monday March 4.
Visit: dorset.police.uk to find out more, including frequently asked questions and the recruitment process.

HAVING been elbowed out by the elections for the Police and Crime Commissioner elections, the pop-up Charities Christmas card shop is now open in Sale library.
Originally due to open on November 10, organisers were suddenly asked to dismantle everything as that particular area had been reserved for the local polling station.
The Sale charity volunteers packed up the displays of cards and gifts and stocking fillers without complaint. Once the polling boxes were counted up and dispatched, the volunteers moved back in to reclaim their area and set up shop ready for the Saturday opening.
Sale organiser Carol Hall hopes that those shoppers disappointed by the delayed opening will nonetheless return and continue to support the charities knowing that every penny from the card sales goes to the charities.
The Charities Christmas shop stays open until December 8. Opening hours can be found at www.christmas-cards.org.uk.
