Last year, Girl Bar moved Girl Bar Dinah Shore Weekend to Las Vegas for the first time, and co-producer Sandy Sachs says she had no idea what to expect. "I was like, 'Oh my God, I don't even know if anyone's gonna show up," Sachs told SheWired, adding in true Vegas fashion, "It was a crap shoot."
Much to her surprise, the event drew in 1,700 women, which Sachs said she "couldn't have even hoped for." The event enters its second year this coming weekend, from April 25-28, and Sachs says she expects even more women to make that trip out to the desert this year.
Originally held in Palm Springs, which is still the location of Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend, Sachs felt her event needed a change. "Twenty-two years is a long time to do anything," she says. "What's great about Vegas is no matter how many times you go, there's always something new and different to do." She highlights the size and popularity of Vegas as a major distinguishing factor between her event and the one held in Palm Springs. "The experience is definitely different. We're never going to fill an entire hotel like the Flamingo," she explains. "You're not gonna get the experience that you get in Palm Springs where you wake up and everywhere you look it's just lesbians around all the time." While she recognizes this as a unique pro to holding Dinah in a city like Palm Springs, she feels that the outside distractions actually create a unity among the Dinah attendees. "What's happening in Vegas is that because you're not surrounded by lesbians 24/7, and there are no house parties, our parties are packed because that's the only place they're going to get the all women thing."
Dinah Vegas' presenting sponsor is Caesars Entertainment, which received an unprecedented sixth consecutive perfect Corporate Equality Index Rating from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation last year. Sachs believes their generosity in hosting Saturday's Infinity Pool Party at the Flamingo is a direct reflection of their commitment to the LGBT community. "A three-thousand room hotel gave us their main pool for this event. It's really mind-boggling. No hotel would do that in Vegas."
As Dinah Shore Vegas enters its sophomore year, it's too soon to say what the demographic of the event will be, but Sachs has witnessed its popularity partially among international travelers. She recalls talking to a German woman one year in Palm Springs who lamented about the bar closing time, saying, "It's too far for me to go to have a drink pulled out of my hand at 1:30." Incidentally, one of the drawing points of Dinah Vegas, in her opinion, is the fact that Las Vegas has no last call. "Last year, we ended the party at 4am, and we could have kept going," she says.
With the world visibly becoming more accepting and understanding of the LGBT community, Sachs believes another advantage to hosting Dinah Shore in a city like Las Vegas "is really more apropos, considering what's happening in the world today." Unlike a decade or two ago, when gays and lesbians were more prone to stay in their own circles and locales, Sachs believes there is an obvious integration-taking place, which is reflected through Dinah Vegas.
That said, it's Vegas, baby, and Girl Bar Dinah Shore will no doubt resonate the energy that only Sin City can manifest. Sachs waxed poetic on the luxurious Flamingo pool and the over-the-top spirit that makes Las Vegas truly unique. To put it simply, she says, "It's a crazy place."

How bankable are golf's young guns?
Published June 12, 2006
Eddie Carbone was standing near the scoring area of Doral Golf Resort & Spa's blue course when he was knocked onto his heels. The roar from the throng of fans following Camilo Villegas that March evening caught him a bit off guard. After all, it wasn't directed toward a guy named Arnie or Jack or Tiger, and the crowd wasn't reveling in a charge for the ages.
|Camilo Villegas is greeted by fans at this year's
Ford Championship in Doral, Fla.
"We were like, 'What the hell was that?'" recalled Carbone, tournament director for the 2006 Ford Championship at Doral. "It was the time of the day when there typically aren't a lot of crowds around following guys with those tee times. It was a roar that you hear Sunday on the 18th hole with the final group."
Villegas drove that crowd into a frenzy. Sporting a stylish J. Lindeberg wardrobe that accentuated his lithe, 160-pound frame, Villegas rode a long driver and a putt-reading style that resembled a praying mantis playing Twister all the way to a tie for second place. He finished one stroke behind defending champion Tiger Woods, though it could be argued who had the largest gallery.
Villegas, a University of Florida graduate and only the second Colombian to earn a PGA Tour card, was embraced by South Florida's large Hispanic community. What resulted was a tournament that took on a festival-like atmosphere even on a ho-hum Friday evening, with throngs of flag-waving fans cheering his every move.
"We had better attendance than in 2005, and we had pretty huge attendance in '05," Carbone said. "I don't know if you could measure it based on him, but you could feel it based on the size of the crowds following him around."
Villegas at Doral was something of an anomaly. It was a case of the stars aligning for the right guy at the right event, and everyone from tournament organizers to the PGA Tour to Villegas cashed in. People are going to watch Villegas play even if you drop him into the center of Anytown, USA, though the galleries obviously swell in more diverse areas such as Miami.
Villegas is part of a new generation of golfer that sparks interest from even the most tepid golf fan. They're young and good looking with plenty of personality. Their bodies are sculpted from hours in the gym and they play with a go-for-broke style even John Daly can appreciate. The fans eat it up.
These players are producing, as well. Five of the top 25 on the PGA Tour's money list are 25 or younger and two are rookies (Villegas and Qualifying School medalist J.B. Holmes). Thirteen of the top 25 LPGA moneywinners have yet to reach their 25th birthday. Six are not even 20 years old.
Balancing act
There hasn't been an exceptional surge of corporations rushing to pump dollars into either of the two tours just because of the newcomers. And the fact each tour boasts at least 75 players from 24 countries doesn't seem to have been an issue when international companies such as Barclays, UBS and Deustche Bank chose golf as one of their first ventures into U.S. sports.
|Sponsors including Nike and Sony
have lofty expectations for
youngster Michelle Wie.
Make no mistake — corporate support is strong for both the PGA Tour and LPGA on the league, tournament and player level. Tournament purses are higher than ever and the majority of events have title sponsorship locked up to at least the end of the decade. The PGA Tour recently wrapped up a television package worth a reported $2.9 billion over the next six years, and the buzz concerning next season's inaugural FedEx Cup points chase continues to build. John Bogusz, executive vice president of sports sales and marketing at CBS Sports, says the network has sold out 90-95 percent of its ad inventory for its PGA Tour weekend coverage with five events remaining.
The LPGA could finally be positioned to raise its stature on the sports landscape thanks to a field of players with personality, attractiveness and skill. This season marks the first season of the LPGA Playoffs at the ADT, a yearlong points competition to be capped off with the winner receiving $1 million (the largest individual payoff in the tour's history). The tour has a cable package with ESPN and The Golf Channel wrapped up through 2009. And while ratings are even from this point last year on ESPN-televised tournaments, there has been a 12 percent rise in the number of households watching the LPGA.
The obvious impulse is to ride the kids all the way to the bank; to push them to the front of marketing campaigns and force-feed their youth and talent to the golf public along with their new playoff formats. But it's not that simple. Golf is a cross-generational game in which its players age along with its fans. It essentially has a three-class system of marquee players (such as Woods and Phil Mickelson), icons (such as a Fred Couples) and the up-and-comers. Fans of each are equally vital to the success of the tours, so the circuits have to find a happy medium when it comes to promotion.
Sponsors have different likes, as well. Some target the affluent crowd, others go after younger demos. A few players — again, such as Woods — can appeal to everyone across the board. But most golfers attract a specific sort of fan with a particular kind of lifestyle, making it imperative that both the company and the player are on the same page when it comes to branding.
Deciding who to promote is a juggling act for the tours.
"It's extremely challenging," said Ric Clarson, the PGA Tour's senior vice president of brand development and retail licensing, "because one of the unique aspects of golf is it's the purest form of capitalism in any sport. You get what you earn. … So it's challenging as to who you promote and how you promote them because their on-camera television time is totally dependent on what they do that week, not that they're in the starting lineup and going to be in right field the entire season no matter how they play. We try to find a balance between the stars and the up-and-comers as to who we promote."
Marketing players
The PGA Tour's new "Voices" ad campaign has allowed it to balance that three-tier class system. The 30-second spots use tournament footage accompanied by a voice-over from a featured player. The commercials are produced by PGA Tour Productions, cost about $5,000 each and take about 15 minutes to make. That's allowed the tour to make a dozen or so of these spots, including ones featuring Villegas and Holmes. Clarson said the tour likely would have stuck with more established players for the campaign, but its convenient production process puts the newcomers "in the mix" this season.
|Natalie Gulbis set a record last season on the
LPGA with the highest earnings without a win.
"I don't want to lean too heavily one way or the other," first-year LPGA Commissioner Carolyn Bivens said. "It's my responsibility, and our responsibility as an association, to promote the growth and extract the value for the overall group."
Bivens has acted to spread things out evenly. She said to expect more cross-generational advertising using the tour's diverse age groups. And one of her initial moves as commissioner was to enlist a personal brand manager for the tour's members.
Wendy Newman of Beverly Hills-based Person-Centered Branding met with the players as a group before a tournament earlier this year and later in individual follow-up sessions (all paid for by the LPGA). The player then has the option to hire Newman on a regular basis, with the tour picking up part of the cost. The revolutionary approach is geared toward assisting the players, including those outside of the top moneywinners — the ones who may not have representation from a marketing giant — land worthwhile endorsement and sponsorship deals while simultaneously keeping the LPGA brand out there.
Some golf insiders and marketing experts have warned that the LPGA's approach may come off contrived. Others say it's a savvy move for a tour trying to stretch its legs in a crowded sports market.
"I don't necessarily think it's that aggressive," said Mark Steinberg, the senior vice president and managing director of golf (Americas and Asia) at IMG as well as Woods' agent. "I think it's strategic and smart."
Rising stars
The truly marketable players don't require such assistance, however.
Gulbis' movie star looks and outgoing personality have helped her land deals with the likes of Anheuser-Busch, Canon, EA Sports and Adidas. She has produced her own calendar, writes a column for FHM and has a reality show on The Golf Channel. Ricochet Swimwear produces a line of swimsuits called the "Natalie Gulbis Collection."
And the buzz around Villegas is nearly as loud and getting louder. Colombia's City TV network purchased the rights to 30 PGA Tour events the morning after his tie for second at Doral. He already had deals with coffee maker Cafe De Colombia and Swedish designer J. Lindeberg. Since then he has become a primary pitchman for Cobra Golf, committed to participate in a Japanese tournament this fall and is working on opportunities in China.
"There's a lot of stuff going on other than getting the ball in the hole," Villegas said. "It's a matter of adjusting, being organized and having your priorities in order and taking care of business and all of the surroundings around it. … I try not to [think about the off-course business]. But, obviously, there are some doors opening and good stuff happening. In reality, it's part of the job."
Michelle Wie, the 16-year-old phenom who tees it up with women and men, had locked down endorsement deals with Nike and Sony worth up to $10 million a year before it was even time for her junior prom.
And to think that Wie isn't even a member of a men's or women's tour, but instead a golf free agent who pretty much plays when she wants, where she wants worldwide.
Just win
But here's the interesting thing about Gulbis, Villegas and Wie, three prime examples of the youthful wave washing over golf: None has a professional victory.
Gulbis has demonstrated solid play (the $1,010,154 she collected last season set a record for money earned without a victory), and yet she is arguably the most visible player on the circuit.
Villegas has two second-place ties (he also tied for second at the FBR Open) and was tied for third at the Players Championship before missing the cut in three of his next four tournaments.
Wie, for all her talent and appeal, hasn't collected a trophy since winning the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links in 2003 as a 13-year-old. There have been near misses — she was runner-up to Sorenstam at the LPGA Championship and she tied for third at the Women's British Open — but no victories to truly validate the hype.
And only four of 22 PGA Tour tournament winners this year have been younger than 30. There have been five first-time winners, though just two younger than 31 (the then-23-year-old Holmes and 25-year-old Aaron Baddeley, who is in his fourth full season on the circuit).
It's enough to draw comparisons to Anna Kournikova, the tennis diva who was everywhere as a teenager and now seemingly nowhere at age 25. The poster child for hype and overexposure, Kournikova pitched everything from sports bras to video games. In 2003 she trailed only Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant in athlete endorsement deals despite having never claimed a WTA singles victory. She has been sidelined and borderline retired from the sport for much of the past three years due to injuries, slowing down her marketing machine.
Would she still be a force if she had won even one tournament, perhaps even a major?
"Level of play — that's what it's always going to come down to," said Jordan Bazant, a partner in The Agency. "There's two times when you're really marketable as a player: When you're first coming out because there is that attractiveness to that potential, and when you reach championship level. But at the end of the day you have to be successful for you to be impactful to a sponsor. That's the biggest obstacle — success on the tour. Competing with the best in the world and getting on television, winning championships. Being associated with a champion is what all these guys want."

No matter how many books or documentaries of the Battle of Antietam you may have read or seen, there is no better way to learn, absorb, and experience the history at Antietam than to actually walk the same fields, explore the same farms, and tramp the same roads that are forever connected to the bloody and pivotal events of September 1862. As an Antietam Battlefield Guide, it is my hope and aim that you will leave Antietam with not only a deep understanding of it's storied past, an appreciation of the high level of preservation, and an amazement of the natural beauty of the landscape, but also with an overall fun and fulfilling time that you will remember forever.
A native of High Bridge, NJ, I grew up in a region that was flush with colonial, revolutionary, and industrial history, as well as an abundance of natural beauty. This connection with the cultural and natural past instilled in me a love for all things History. Clamoring to do more than "experience" the past through books and articles, I have been a Civil War Living Historian since 1998, attempting to recreate and interpret the lives and stories of soldiers, most notably from the famous Irish Brigade. I have taken part as a military extra in several films, including "Antietam" (1999), "Gods & Generals" (2002), and "The War That Made America" (2005). I received a BA in History with a Public History concentration, and a minor in Geography from Shippensburg University, in Pennsylvania. While at Shippensburg, I had the privilege to take part in the planning and development of Shippensburg's Civil War Trails tour, as well as work hands on in the conservation of Shippenburg's historic African American burial ground known as Locust Grove Cemetery. I received a MA in American Studies from Pennsylvania State University, where I continued to concentrate on Public Heritage, having the unique opportunity to take part in archaeological digs of centuries old Native American villages. I'm also a classic car nut, and own several classic Volkswagens.
Currently, I live in south central Pennsylvania, and have worked for the Pennsylvania Historic Preservation Office in Harrisburg since 2008.
In 2009 I began to volunteer with the National Park Service at Antietam National Battlefield where I assist visitors in the Visitor Center, act as a roaming Battlefield Ambassador, and take part in many of the Living History demonstrations throughout the year, including Antietam's own all-volunteer artillery crew: Battery B, 4th U.S. Artillery.
Every time I tour Antietam, I see and learn something new and remarkable. I look forward to touring with you, and sharing my passion for the past, while bringing history to life.

After filing for Chapter 11 this August, Reader's Digest Association has been working on a restructuring plan to get itself out of debt. Some of this has been the unfortunate (but par for course) shuttering of titles, like Rick Warren's ill-fated The Purpose Driven Connection magazine.
Yesterday, editor-in-chief Peggy Northrop mentioned at the ASME luncheon that the Reader's Digest brand would never again launch a magazine that wasn't able to perform across different media platforms. And today, RDA continues its attempts to get back in the black, and no it doesn't involve firing staffers. It looks like the company will be moving its staffers from its offices in Pleasantville, N.Y.
As Keith Kelly reported this morning:
"Some of the 600 employees based in [Pleasantville] will be relocated to White Plains, N.Y. But executive offices and Reader's Digest magazine's editorial will move to space at 750 Third Avenue that was recently vacated by S.I. Newhouse's Condé Nast Publications.
So some editorial staffers will be going to White Plains while the corporate headquarters and other editorial staffers move to NYC to share in the same building as Condé Nast. (FishbowlNY previously reported that The Economist is also moving into that building in the second quarter of next year.) While it's always terrible to have to pick up your life and move elsewhere for a job, relocating to New York isn't the worst thing to happen to a magazine staff in the last, oh say, 24 hours. In terms of restructuring, this is one of the more positive moves we've seen in awhile, which it should be obvious by the very un-restructuring phrase in CEO Mary Berner's letter to the staffers, "Some of you will be excited by this change…"
Berner's full memo to RDA staffers after the jump.
Previously: Reader's Digest Files For Ch. 11
Read More: Reader's Digest moving to NYC —New York Post
As promised, I am sharing with you advance word that we have made decisions concerning RDA's real estate plans for Pleasantville and Manhattan. While these plans are preliminary and are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, we will shortly notify the Court of our request to enter into leases for two new spaces to replace our current facilities in Pleasantville and Manhattan.
These new spaces are both in highly regarded, attractive facilities with modern amenities appropriate for our businesses:
Westchester One, White Plains, Westchester, N.Y. – 44 South Broadway
Grand Central Square, New York – 750 Third Avenue (between 46th and 47th Streets)
Westchester One will accommodate 525 of our 650 employees and contractors currently in Pleasantville. Grand Central Square will consolidate our Manhattan offices providing office space for about 175 New York-based staff as well as 125 employees currently in Pleasantville. Both locations are close to public transportation, which will facilitate efficient movement between the two offices. In deciding on these sites, we worked very hard to balance a number of goals. We considered lease costs (given depressed markets, this is an incredibly good time to be leasing property), location and the impact on employee commutation, quality of office space, type of facility, amenities and potential for good workflow. In choosing these locations, we not only will achieve significant savings on the total rent and maintenance costs, but also, just as importantly, we will have the opportunity in these locations to set up working spaces that promote The FACE Plan cultural attributes and aspirations, including energetic interaction between teams to foster a high level of collaboration and innovation.
I recognize that, while some of you will be excited by this change, the moves will be stressful for many of you, including those who have worked at our Pleasantville headquarters for a long time. I want to acknowledge this and say that we are fully committed to doing what we can to make this transition as easy as possible for everyone, including communicating regularly with updates. Your ExCom member or department head will be getting in touch to schedule a meeting for your department to discuss plans for your team.
As always, please feel free to email me, or write to me through Dear Anonymous.

Once again South Florida leads the way in a nationwide Medicare fraud case that federal agents broke open on Wednesday.
Out of the 107 people facing charges nationwide, 59 are from South Florida. All have been charged in a series of Medicare fraud schemes that authorities say total about $452 million in false billings.
The South Florida suspects are responsible for more than $137 million of that total, authorities said.
"Sadly, in Miami, multimillion-dollar healthcare fraud cases are no longer shocking in their magnitude or frequency," said John Gillies, special agent in charge of the FBI's Miami office. "Here's my message clear and simple, you can run, but as evidenced by today's nationwide takedown, you can't hide."
The coordinated takedown in seven cities by the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services' Medicare Fraud Strike Force as the largest in its history, authorities said. Miami was the first "Strike Force" city in the county in 2007.
Authorities said in Florida they took 57 people into custody, and two more are expected to be arrested.
The South Florida defendants face charges including conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud, healthcare fraud, money laundering and violations of anti-kickback statutes, according to authorities, who reiterated that those charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

A friend of mine is obsessed with brains; if there was ever a zombie apocalypse, she would ask to be in their "special-interest group". She also likes to sew, so for me the obvious thing to do was to make her a brain pincushion.
To me, the most evident way to construct a brain was to make a Hilbert Curve and wrap it around a ball of some kind. None of my Google searches for "hilbert curve brain" came up with any relevant results, so I'm forced to conclude that I'm the first person to use a Hilbert curve to approximate the wrinkled shape of a brain.
Of course, I'm not the first person in recent memory to break out the Hilbert Curve. This XKCD map of the internet makes good use of it, and [if by this point you're wondering what the heck a Hilbert Curve is to begin with] Vi Hart has a great instructional video on how doodling and the Hilbert Curve are related.
It all starts with a grid, like the one that I made on this piece of cloth. I made the grid spacing 3/8″, the size of the cotton filler cord (also called "piping cord") that I bought to make the actual brain shape. I bought a bag containing 6 yards of the cord, and used most of it. The only other things you need to do this project are some thread, a needle, and a scrap of fabric that you can draw on. (I have no skill at sewing.)
After drawing the grid, I started drawing in the curve itself. The Hilbert Curve is a "space-filling curve", but damned if it isn't a "my-time-filling curve" too. This took a while, because I didn't want to make a mistake. After filling up half my original grid, I realized that I had drawn much more curve than would be needed for the project.
Getting the cord to follow the line as I sewed it down was really difficult at first, because there was nothing for me to hold the cord against. I debated giving up and starting over the next day with stiffer backing, but ultimately I decided to press on and see what happened.
As I got further, it got easier. Also, if you look closely, I'm not following the line exactly… because all the corners compress the fabric of the cord, it was leaving some bare spots on the backing. So, I started putting extra zigzags in the cord where possible, and just used the Hilbert line as a general guide.
This is the completed square!
To finish the design, I balled up the leftover fabric and sewed the brain texture shut around it. I hope she likes it!

''You are the most talented class I have ever had the opportunity to know. ... I am honored to have been your principal.''
Those are the words which more than 300 Oconee County High School graduates heard from their principal, Sam Marra, just before receiving their diplomas Saturday morning at the University of Georgia's Stegeman Coliseum.
Among cheers and applause, the graduates marched forward to receive the certificates which would mark the end of their high school careers.
As in years past, several members of the graduating class spoke at the ceremony, each bringing a fresh perspective on the significance of their accomplishments thus far, and each taking a look at what life would have to offer them in the days to come.
Senior Class Treasurer Jenny Vaughn told the graduates that they had all been given suggestions as to how to spend the rest of their lives, but she wanted to tell them how to spend the rest of the day Saturday.
''Be proud ... thank your parents ... ask teachers for their autographs ... hug friends ... take pictures ... look through old yearbooks and reminisce ... take this day and each preceding day with the anticipation that the best is yet to come,'' Vaughn told her classmates.
Honor graduate Alexandra Pajak delivered the honorarian address, motivating her classmates to overcome limits which would always be surrounding their successes. Pajak spoke of Abraham Lincoln, Lucille Ball, Ghandi and Michael Jordan, using each as an example of a great person who overcame limits in order to achieve outstanding success.
Salutatorian Travis Reeves encouraged the graduates to take risks in order to achieve future goals.
''Today is not only the attainment of a 13-year goal, it is also a time to set new goals and dream new dreams,'' Reeves said.
Finally, the class valedictorian, Becca Eza, sparked the flame of initiative under each of her fellow graduates.
''The world lies wide open, inviting us to explore and conquer. Achieve all of the greatness of which each of you are capable,'' Eza said.
For the second consecutive year, Oconee County High School graduates switched their tassels in Stegeman Coliseum instead of in the football stadium at the high school.
The stadium was generally large enough for graduation audiences, but the backup location in case of inclement weather -- the high school gym -- only seats 1,500.
The audience Saturday filled the lower level of the coliseum and spread into many of the upper-level seats.
Through the cheers and tears at the end of the ceremony, graduates received their final instruction from their principal:
''Class of 2000 ... You are dismissed.''

Triple-A pitching coach encouraged with arms
By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com
Mason, who has joined the Cubs for the remainder of the season, said Jackson (8-14, 5.34 ERA) ended the year well. The right-hander has added a cutter.
"It gave him another pitch to get outs with when he's behind in the count," Mason said Monday. "You've got to learn to do it there [in the Minors] before you do it here. You don't want to learn to do it here, because that's the hard way."
Jackson, a ninth-round Draft pick in 2008, had a rough May, when he was 0-4 with a 10.38 ERA, but he went 3-3 in his last seven starts and gave up 14 earned runs over 42 2/3 innings in that stretch with 32 strikeouts.
Cabrera finished with 67 strikeouts in 88 2/3 innings over 19 games (17 starts) at Iowa.
"He had the best stuff," Mason said of the right-hander. "What gets him is the inconsistencies. He's young, has tremendous stuff and sometimes he has to back off to throw strikes, which we're encouraging him not to do.
"He wants to compete and wants to get up here so bad he's willing to sacrifice strikes," Mason said. "When he comes [up to the big leagues], he's going to come quick."
Austin Bibens-Dirkx, a 16th-round Draft pick in 2006, finished 4-5 with a 6.07 ERA in 24 games (17 starts) for Iowa, with most of those runs coming in June, when he was 0-2 with a 9.22 ERA in seven games. In his last four games, he gave up six earned runs over 23 2/3 innings and struck out 19.
"He's a grinder, a strike-thrower," Mason said of the right-hander. "He's not going to overpower you. He fits in the Casey Coleman-Randy Wells mold."
Another starter Mason was high on was Rusin, who was 5-2 with a 4.02 ERA in 11 games (nine starts). A fourth-round Draft pick in 2009, he struck out 46 over 62 2/3 innings.
"He's your basic lefty," Mason said. "He can throw five pitches and locate them. He's not going to overpower you, but he does all the little things well. He can bunt, he can field, he can hold runners, he can back-door stuff, front-door stuff. He's a complete pitcher."
Gaub makes Major League debut for Cubs
CINCINNATI -- John Gaub finally got in a game.
The left-hander has been with the Cubs since Sept. 6 but had not made an appearance until Monday, when he made his Major League debut in the seventh inning of a 12-8 win against the Reds. How long has he been waiting for this?
"Since the day I was born," Gaub said. "Ever since I was a little kid, I loved pitching. I played football and hockey as well and loved those sports, too, but something about baseball. It's a team sport, but at the same time, pitching is a one-on-one game between you and the hitters."
Gaub struck out Dave Sappelt to start the seventh, got Joey Votto to ground out on a 3-1 pitch and retired Jay Bruce on a flyout to left. The lefty walked Yonder Alonso to open the eighth, and Devin Mesoraco lined a double down the left-field line. Juan Francisco then grounded out to first, and a run scored, prompting Gaub's exit. Mesoraco scored on Paul Janish's sacrifice fly.
"He made some pretty good hitters look not so good," Cubs manager Mike Quade said.
On Votto's grounder, Gaub said he was thinking about the importance of fielding his position. Instinct kicked in, he said, and he ran to first to retrieve the throw from Jeff Baker.
The left-hander compiled a 3.42 ERA in 50 games with Triple-A Iowa, going 7-for-11 in save opportunities.
"Nobody will ever doubt his stuff," Iowa pitching coach Mike Mason said of the lefty, acquired from the Indians in the Mark DeRosa deal in December 2008. "He's got Major League stuff. His command keeps getting better. I'd like to find 10 left-handers who have better stuff than him -- and you might struggle to do that.
"It's going to come down to if he gets hot the first couple times out and has success, game on. If he doesn't, he's going to have to wait his turn. There's no doubt about his stuff."
Gaub showed signs at Iowa. He struck out 75 over 55 1/3 innings, an average of 12.2 strikeouts per nine innings.
His girlfriend was at Wrigley Field when he was called up and his family was in New York, but nobody made the trip to Cincinnati. He was given a few tickets as a souvenir.
"I felt good," Gaub said. "I thought I'd be a little nervous. I probably was and didn't have time to think about it. It was fun.
"It's good to get that outing out of the way. I've been here six days. You sit there and you're waiting for it."
Aramis in rare Cubs company with 25th homer
CINCINNATI -- Aramis Ramirez hit his 25th home run Monday night to join Hall of Famer Billy Williams as the only Cubs players with at least 25 homers and 30 doubles in six seasons.
Ramirez led off the sixth inning with his home run, his first since Aug. 20.
The Cubs third baseman hit his 33rd double in the first. Ramirez has also reached the 25 homer/30 double mark with Chicago from 2004-08. Williams did so in 1963-65, 1968, 1970, and 1972.
LaHair out of lineup against tough lefty Willis
CINCINNATI -- Bryan LaHair was batting .571 in six games since he was called up to the big league team, but he was on the bench for the Cubs on Monday.
LaHair went 0-for-3 against Reds starter Dontrelle Willis one week ago at Wrigley Field. Willis seems to be the only pitcher who can get the red-hot LaHair out so far.
"He's getting base hits and doing some things with his at-bats -- his takes, his pitch counts that he's running up," Cubs manager Mike Quade said. "He's doing a lot of good stuff, even if it results in a line drive to right. We'll see if it continues."
LaHair did face lefties at Triple-A Iowa, batting .284 (40-for-141) and hitting nine of his 38 homers off southpaws.
On Monday, LaHair received the 2011 Joe Bauman Home Run Award, presented to the Minor League player who hits the most home runs. LaHair, 28, will receive $7,600 -- $200 for each homer he hit -- at Baseball's Winter Meetings in December.
Whether LaHair has done enough to win a spot on the Cubs' roster next year has yet to be determined. Quade has been impressed, but it's a small sample. LaHair has 14 at-bats.
"I'm not inclined to go nuts after watching a guy for four, five games," Quade said.
Extra bases
Dae-Eun Rhee gave up two runs on four hits over six innings for the win in Class A Daytona's 4-2 victory over St. Lucie on Sunday to claim the Florida State League championship. It was the Daytona team's fifth title since it joined the Cubs in 1993.
"We just showed a lot of character," Daytona manager Buddy Bailey said. "We had a lot of changes and had to find the right formula."
Greg Rohan had three hits and one RBI, Justin Bour and Logan Watkins each had two hits and one RBI and Elliot Soto had two hits for Daytona. Frank Batista converted his third save of the series, throwing a perfect ninth.
Double-A Tennessee is waiting to find out its next opponent for the Southern League Championship, scheduled to begin Wednesday. The Birmingham-Mobile series was tied at two wins apiece. The Smokies swept Chattanooga to clinch their third straight Southern League North Division title.
Cubs pitcher Randy Wells and musician Stoney LaRue will host the "Boot Bash 2011" on Oct. 21 at Joe's Bar at 940 Weed Street, Chicago. Admission is $15 per person, and there are limited VIP tickets for $125 per person. Doors open at 7 p.m. CT. LaRue and the Midnight River Choir will perform, and there will be a silent auction of music and sports memorabilia. The Boot Campaign is an initiative aimed at showing appreciation of the active military and raising awareness of the needs of military personnel. For more info, visit randywellsfoundation.org.

Old Yelle
She's no dog. Don't put her down.
By Raoul Hernandez,
1:35PM, Thu. Oct. 9, 2008
She's no dog. Don't put her down.
For at least one curious Francophile mid-throng last night at Mohawk, a venue stuffed with young hands in the air, Yelle whiffed a faint hint of early, "Burnin' Up" Madonna, looking totally French actress, however – Vanessa "Mrs. Johnny Depp" Paradis crossed with now Parisian Leslie Feist. One audience member mouthing the singer's native tongue pegged la chanteuse from the Bretagne region of France as resembling Sophie Marceau. Her electro-pop, for better or worse, banged all of the above.
For an hour, mademoiselle Julie Budet and her two sidemen in "Dance or Die" black tees, entreated "Aouse-teen" back across the decades, throngs invited onstage mobbing pure Soul Train from a New Wave age celebrated with fat, 1990s abandon. No subtitles on Yelle's 2007 debut Pop-Up meant none live either, so the masses danced and did the pogo like they just didn't care. DJ GrandMarnier and a live drummer beat home the main set with "A Cause Des Garçons," two tunes for the encore including French hit "Je Veux Te Voir," a rude sexual putdown put across same as the rest of the evening: ecstatic.
As the venue emptied just past 11pm, M.I.A. pumped through Mohawk's P.A., substance to Yelle's style. See image gallery.

text: Hi all, I'm new to this forum, currently owning an a4 1.6 avant sport and previously owning an '88 UR, anyway on with the problem! my a4 currently has an issue with warming up, the problem is just occasional at the moment. The engine is just not getting up to temperature, even on long journeys it will sometimes not raise above 70 degrees, The radiator fan seems to come on early, causing this problem, also occasionally stays on for a few minutes after turning the car off. I think the problem will be the temp sensor in the radiator (hopefully not the thermostat!), can anyone give me some advice with what the problem is most likely to be? And if possible some part numbers? thanks in advance, andy

Filing Complaints Against Health Care Professionals
When to File a Complaint/What to Expect
The state of Tennessee is graced with some of the finest health care professionals, educational institutions, postgraduate programs and treatment facilities in the United States. The majority of health practitioners in Tennessee are competent and caring individuals and most persons are satisfied with the level of care they receive.
However, when a problem is experienced with a practitioner, you have the right to report him/her. If you believe that a practitioner's performance or behavior is not acceptable, you may file a complaint through Health Related Boards, Office of Investigations.
Issues Not Within Board Authority
- Fees and/or billing disputes (amounts charged for services, overcharges, etc)
Contact Consumer Affairs at 1-800-342-8385
Board Responsibility
The Department of Health has the authority for various licensing boards whose responsibilities are to protect the public interest. This is accomplished through enforcement of the particular Practice Act of each board, which examines, licenses, and oversees the practice of the licensees. The licensing boards oversee individual practitioners and in some instances regulate educational programs.
The responsible board evaluates the credentials and qualifications of each practitioner. After practitioners become licensed, the Board will review any complaint received that may put the professional behavior and/or performance of the practitioner in question. Such complaints may suggest a violation of the Practice Act. Complaints are received from various sources, i.e. the general public, insurance companies, hospitals and other health care facilities, health professionals and the news media. If you feel that a practitioner has failed to live up to his/her professional responsibilities, the Health Related Boards want to hear from you.
While a board cannot assist with civil or criminal matters and does not represent individuals, the Tennessee Practice Acts allow the licensing boards to act on behalf of the people of Tennessee at large. When a board determines that disciplinary action against a practitioner is necessary, the action focuses on prevention of further problems with the practitioner and the protection of future patients. In essence, a board has the power to control a practitioner's ability to practice in the future in the state of Tennessee, but cannot impute criminal penalties. Any person seeking to recover fees or monetary remedies for injuries should consult a private attorney regarding those matters. The State of Tennessee has no jurisdiction over these types of situations.
Filing a Complaint
While the Department of Health hopes that you will never have to file a complaint against a health care practitioner, doing so is a simple matter. You may contact the Complaint Divisions of the Department of Health at 1-800-852-2187 to request a complaint form. (PH-3466)
The form must be completed in its entirety. All materials received in connection with the complaint will become property of the Department of Health and cannot be returned. Please return the complaint to:
Office of Investigations
665 Mainstream Drive, 2nd Floor, Suite 201
Nashville, TN 37243
Top 10 Most Frequently Asked Questions for persons who may file a complaint:
- 1. How do I file a complaint?
- The Allegations Report form (click here) can be downloaded and must be completed in its entirety. The form and any attachments should be submitted to the Office of Investigations at the address located on the form. PLEASE NOTE: All materials received become the property of the State of Tennessee and cannot be returned.
- 2. Can I remain anonymous?
- Yes. You may file a complaint without revealing your identity. However, make sure to provide enough information in the Allegations Report to allow for an adequate review of the issues, including an investigation, if an investigation is required. PLEASE NOTE: The Office of Investigations will not be able to provide status reports for Allegations Reports that are filed anonymously.
- 3. How long does the process take?
- Phase 1 of the review process takes a minimum of two (2) to four (4) weeks, depending on the review schedule for that particular profession. Depending on the nature and complexity of the allegation(s), if an investigation is required, the investigation process can take a minimum of three (3) months.
- 4. Can I appeal the decision, if I do not like and/or agree with it?
- No. The decision is final. PLEASE NOTE: All Allegations Reports are taken very seriously and are reviewed by a competent professional licensed in the relevant field and an attorney working on behalf of the relevant licensure board. To ensure a thorough review, please provide all information and details along with your Allegations Report. Unless the facts contained in Allegations Report have changed, the file will not be reconsidered.
- 5. Will I be contacted by an investigator?
- Yes, if an investigation of your Allegations Report is required. The contact is normally made by telephone. You will also receive a written notification about the final outcome of your complaint.
- 6. Will my name be revealed to the practitioner?
- Your name, as having filed the complaint, will be not be revealed to the practitioner. Pursuant to T.C.A. §63-1-117, the identity of the complainant is confidential and will not be disclosed. Therefore, staff will neither confirm nor deny the identity of the complainant. However, if your medical record is requested from the practitioner as a part of the investigation, the practitioner may draw an inference as to the identity of the complainant.
- 7. Can I get a copy of the investigative findings?
- No. After the Allegations Report is filed with the State, the matter becomes part of a legal process which is made confidential under state law. Therefore, the investigative findings are confidential and cannot be disclosed.
- 8. Can the State help me get a refund or money for damages?
- No. The health professional licensure boards have the authority to control a practitioner's ability to practice in the future. Any person seeking to receive refunds or monetary remedies for injuries related to the allegations contained in the Allegations Report should consult a private attorney as soon as possible.
- 9. Will you take my complaint over the phone?
- Allegations can be received by telephone. However, we encourage the use of the Allegations Report form (click here) to ensure that all required information is collected, including your signature and, if you are the patient, a completed Patient Release Form. Experience has shown from previous investigations that there is often information that is missed at telephone intake which either lengthens the process to allow collection of the missed information, or the missed information had a detrimental influence on the outcome of the review of the complaint.
- 10. Will I be able to speak to the consultant and/or attorney?
- No. Each complaint is reviewed by a clinical consultant, who is licensed in that particular profession and approved by the Board to review the complaint, and a staff attorney who is assigned by the Department of Health. The consultant and attorney will do a paper review of the Allegations Report and any supplemental documents you have submitted. If additional information is necessary to determine if a violation has occurred and can be proven, they will request a field investigation. The investigator will contact you to obtain any additional information requested by the consultant and/or attorney. If you need legal advice, you need to seek the advice of a private attorney. The attorneys assigned to work on behalf of the health related boards represent the interests of the State and the boards to protect citizens from harm or potential for harm at the hands of a practitioner who may have caused you harm. They do not represent your personal interests.
Top 10 Most Frequently Asked Questions for the Practitioner Under Allegation
- 1. Who filed the complaint?
- Pursuant to T.C.A. §63-1-117, the identity of the complainant is confidential and cannot be disclosed. Complaints can be filed by patients, family members, peers, facilities, law enforcement, pharmacists, and by individuals who request to remain anonymous. (Likewise, complaint information about a practitioner is confidential. If a complaint leads to formal discipline by the professional licensure board, then information against a practitioner will no longer be confidential.)
- 2. Can I get a copy of the complaint and/or investigation findings?
- No. The complaint, usually filed using an Allegations Report form available on the Board's web site, contains information made confidential under T.C.A. §63-1-117 and cannot be disclosed. The investigation report is also confidential and the same confidentiality statute attaches. However, when the investigation findings are returned to the Office and a review has been held, you will receive a written notification of the outcome and, if appropriate, guidance on how to improve your practice. If the investigation findings rise to the level that requires the filing of formal charges against you, written notice and an opportunity for a hearing will be provided to you.
- 3. Who will review the complaint and investigation?
- Each complaint will be reviewed by a clinical consultant who is licensed and in good standing with the relevant licensure board. The clinical consultant will sit in consultation with a staff attorney assigned by the Department of Health on behalf of the relevant health related board. Together, the reviewers conduct a paper review to determine if a potential violation of a statute and/or rule governing your profession exists, based on the allegations provided. If a potential violation is identified, the file is forwarded to a field investigator for collection of witness statements and documentation to prove or disprove the allegations. The investigation file is then returned to the Central Office, located in Nashville, where the review team will analyze the statements and documentation to determine if, and which, statutes and/or rules have been violated.
- 4. How can I verify that the Investigator is actually with the Department?
- The Investigator assigned to investigate the complaint allegations will present an identification badge for your inspection and will be able to produce a business card to match the identification badge. If additional verification is needed, you are encouraged to contact Central Office in Nashville at 615.741.8485 for verbal verification.
- 5. Can my office staff/designee call to get a status update?
- No. Complaint information and the identity of both the complainant and the practitioner against whom the complaint has been filed are confidential by statute. Staff processing these confidential documents has been trained to employ the strictest measures to ensure that confidentiality is maintained. Therefore, only the practitioner will be given information related to the complaint, including complaint status, in order to maintain strict adherence to the confidentiality requirements.
- 6. Will I get to talk to an investigator?
- As the named practitioner, you will normally be asked to participate in an interview, if an investigation has been requested by the review team. The reason for the interview is to allow you the opportunity to provide an explanation with regard to your decisions, actions and/or behaviors related to the issue(s) under investigation. Issues under investigation may range from malpractice and/or negligence in the treatment of patient(s) to situational behaviors, impairment, drug diversions, abuse and neglect, supervisory responsibilities, or prescribing.
- 7. How will the decision be made?
- After the Allegations Report is filed with the State, the matter becomes part of a legal process. The Board's Consultant and the assigned attorney with the Department of Health will be ascertaining whether or not the collected evidence (e.g. witness statements, medical records, business records) from the investigation support a finding of one or more statutory or rule violations. If no violation is found, you will be notified in writing. If a violation is found, the nature, severity, and the position of the board in disciplining like and/or similar violations will be considered in determining whether an informal letter of correction will be issued by the Board's Consultant, or whether the file will be referred to the legal office for consideration of formal disciplinary charges.
- 8. When/how will I know the outcome?
- If the complaint filed against you is closed with no violation and/or a violation which does not rise to the level of formal disciplinary action, written notification will be issued to you in the form of either a letter signed by a staff member from the Office of Investigations or a letter of correction (i.e. letter of concern or letter of warning) signed by the Board's Consultant. If your complaint file is referred to the legal office, you will receive communication from the attorney who has been assigned to your file.
- 9. If disciplined, will the discipline stay on my licensure record?
- Yes. Formal disciplinary action, which can only be taken by your licensure board after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, will become a part of your disciplinary history and your licensure record indefinitely. The discipline will stay on your licensure record, which is a publicly available document.
- 10. Can I appeal the decision?
- The statute allows for an appeal of formal disciplinary actions within a fixed amount of time in accordance with statutory mandates. Informal letters of correction (i.e. letter of concern and/or letter of warning) are not considered discipline and are not made part of the licensure file; therefore, they are not matters subject to appeal. NOTE: Complaint history, which includes informal letters of correction, is retained separate from licensure file documentation and is not subject to a public records request, pursuant to T.C.A. §63-1-117. The Department views this process as confidential and takes steps to ensure that confidentiality is maintained at all phases, having taken action to successfully defend requests for access to complaint documentation when appropriate.
The Review Process
Upon receipt of the complaint form, the designated board consultant (who is a practitioner from the particular health profession) and an attorney review the complaint thoroughly to determine whether there has been a violation of the Practice Act.
The board consultant and the attorney examine the details of the complaint. The practitioner may be contacted and relevant records may be studied. The review process may also involve the review of practitioner files, both public and confidential. Through the review process, the consultant and attorney will reach a decision whether to investigate the complaint or not. This process may take several months to complete. This is determined by the complexity of the complaint.
Throughout the process, the practitioner's due process rights are assured. The final decision that is reached by the Board will be based on the findings of an investigation. In some cases, a formal public hearing is held.
You may call the Complaint Division from time to time to inquire about the progress of the complaint. While state law does not allow the staff to give details of an investigation, you may request a general status report. Due to the nature of complaints and complex legal and medical issues that are involved, your patience, cooperation and understanding is appreciated.
When a decision is reached, you will receive a letter from the board consultant. The specific content of such letters varies depending upon the circumstances of the complaint. However, they are generally one of the following types.
1. There was no violation of the Practice Act that would lead to disciplinary action, but the practitioner has been informed of the concerns that lead to the complaint.
2. There was a violation of the Practice Act and a formal disciplinary action was taken, made part of the public record, and reported statewide and to the national data bank.
All complaints received are taken seriously and a thorough and fair evaluation under the law is conducted.

Smithville's business district is on track to recover from the strongest tornado to strike Mississippi in nearly half a century. But whether or not that recovery is permanent could hinge on the future routing of Mississippi Highway 25.
The Mississippi Legislature has already approved a controlled-access realignment of a stretch of the highway from Amory to Fulton that would by-pass the business district of Smithville, a one-square-mile town in Northeast Mississippi founded as a trading post in 1851. The idea is to build a full controlled-access highway like you find on an interstate, where entrances and exits are limited, said Bill Jamieson, district engineer for Mississippi Department of Transportation's District One.
Families behind return of Mel's Diner and Doughbellys are given MBJs highest honor
Hope abounds after tragedy, destruction
Safety is a main benefit of controlled access with a four-lane divided highway, he said. "It's definitely a safer route."
That controlled-access concept is up for reconsideration in this year's legislative session, according to Jamieson. A suggested new alignment would keep the highway routed through Smithville's business district, likely taking the road to five lanes, he said.
"From everything I hear, they will pass it," Jamieson said.
"We have to have the legislation changed before we can look at a new route."
The newly proposed route is seen as a way to help Smithville continue its recovery from the catastrophic tornado that destroyed much of the Monroe County community and killed 16 townspeople April 27.
But regardless of the route chosen, the state lacks the funds for the Highway 25 project.
Under the current plan, Highway 25 would run about a quarter of a mile east of Smithville's business district.
An interchange would likely go in at Mississippi Highway 23 and Smithville's Hatley Road, according to Jamieson. He said a connector road would be build between the old and new Highway 25s.
State transportation planners proposed the controlled access route as a way to make the highway safer by limiting entry and exit points along it, Jamieson noted.
Tony Green, executive director of the Monroe County Chamber of Commerce, said that even though building of the new stretch of highway is years away, Smithville needs a commitment from MDOT to keep the current route. Otherwise, it's difficult to plan for a commercial future, he said.
"Hopefully, we'll be able to keep the main highway through downtown Smithville."

Merger in Works for BMG, Columbia House?
Columbia House, jointly operated by Sony Music and Time Warner, could merge with Bertelsmann's BMG Direct if negotiations go smoothly. The two clubs dominate the mail-order music business, with deep catalogs in many categories, including jazz, classical, pop, rock, r&b, hip-hop, and country. The two operations have considerable overlap among their offerings, although they do not completely mirror each other. Unlike BMG, Columbia House offers DVDs and videotapes.
By eliminating duplication, a merger could bring a new efficiency to the music-club business, which has declined in recent years. Music fans have slowed their rate of acquisition, having gradually replaced most of their vinyl records with CDs, and online sales have taken a bite out of the market for new music. There is no indication that ordinary music lovers are at all dissatisfied with the quality of CDs, and almost no reason to believe that a high-resolution format such as Super Audio CD or multichannel DVD will make them replace their collections again.
Music sellers are therefore looking for creative ways to bolster the business for what may be leaner times ahead. The two giants' urge to merge has precedent in the publishing world. Pressure from online competitors has already brought about a merger of Time Warner's Book-of-the-Month Club with Bertelsmann's Doubleday Direct book club.
Last year's planned merger of online music seller CDnow and Columbia House fell through in March of this year, and executives have been looking for an alternate plan. If it comes to pass, the merger with BMG must be approved by Sony and by federal anti-trust regulators, who must also approve Time Warner's proposed merger with America Online. Columbia House, with about 16 million members, earned approximately $100 million on about $1.4 billion in revenue in 1998. BMG Direct's 11 million members spent about $400 million in 1999, accounting for about 20% of BMG Entertainment's North American revenue of $2 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Report No.: CCEER-04-9
Title: Seismic Retrofit of Two-Column Bents with Diamond Shape Columns
Authors: Kandasamy Sureshkumar, M. Saiid Saiidi, Ahmad Itani and Samaan Ladkany
Date: November 2004
Sponsoring Agency: Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
Performing Organization:
Department of Civil Engineering/258
University of Nevada, Reno
Reno, NV 89557
This study was focused on evaluating the seismic performance of two-column bents with diamond shape columns and the development of retrofit methods. The bents are from the main structure of a freeway bridge in Las Vegas, Nevada built in the 1960's. The diamond shape of the columns is unique to this bridge. Two identical quarter-scale specimens were built. One two-column bent was tested as built and the other was retrofitted and tested. The bents were tested in the strong direction of the columns, subjected to the 1994 Northridge earthquake until failure. The as-built specimen failed due to shear failure of a column. The columns of the second specimen were wrapped with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The bents were analyzed theoretically using Drain 3-DX, a finite element program and the results were compared. The experimental results led to design recommendations for multi-column bents with diamond shape columns.

The woman whose affair with David Petraeus cost the four-star general his job as CIA director has spoken of her remorse over her role in the scandal.
Six months after Paula Broadwell's personal relationship with her subject became public knowledge, she has given her fullest comments yet regarding the extramarital relationship.
"I have remorse for the harm that this has caused, the sadness it has caused in my family and other families and for causes that we belong to," she told North Carolina news channel WSOC-TV. She went on to credit her husband for standing by her.
The comments come two months after Petraeus publicly apologised for his part in the affair, which led to his resignation from the CIA in November.
Speaking at the University of Southern California's annual Reserve Officers' Training corps dinner in March, the former CIA director prefaced his address with: "Please allow me to begin my remarks this evening by reiterating how deeply I regret and apologise for the circumstances that led me to resign from the CIA and caused such pain for my family, friends and supporters."
His affair with Broadwell was discovered as part of an FBI investigation into emails she had sent to another woman, seemingly under the impression that the recipient was a rival for Petraeus's affections.
The resulting scandal toppled him from his post at the CIA. In a resignation message to staff, Petraeus admitted to displaying poor judgement in conducting the affair.
He added: "Such behaviour in unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organisation such as ours."
For her part, Broadwell has said little publicly about the affair. Earlier this month at a YMCA prayer breakfast in Charlotte she did admit to making "some mistakes in the past". She elaborated on this during Friday's interview.
Meanwhile Petraeus has begun his post-government life, taking on a part-time teaching role at the University of Southern California.

As someone who bought into the world of Harry Potter, I don't expect to be wowed by practitioners of magic in our Muggle world. After all, there's always a trick, right? Something up the sleeve, in a hidden pocket, or an illusion in the lighting. And yet, I was absolutely awed by Trigg Watson Burrage when he came to The Dallas Morning News.
The 22-year-old Southern Methodist University senior, who goes by the stage name Trigg Watson, tore up a copy of the Morning News right in front of me — then handed it over whole and untouched. He had me hold a coin in my hand, and when I opened my hand, it was a different coin.
"I love to take an idea and make it happen, like making a toy Slinky move by itself or making juggling balls slow in midair," he told me. "Even when it seems impossible, I bet there's a way."
Trigg is a smart, well-read and personable young man, a President's Scholar with a full ride at SMU, where he double majors in business at the Cox School of Business and theater at Meadows School of the Arts — or "show business," as he likes to call it.
After being wowed by a magician at the age of 4 in his native Australia, he started teaching himself magic with the help of library books. By the time he was 7, Trigg was performing at birthday parties.
Trigg, who moved with his family to Slidell, La., at 11, now creates his own tricks. He won the Texas Association of Magicians contest in 2009, and was a featured act in Vegas Magic Theatre at the Gold Coast Casino in Las Vegas in January.
What keeps him brainstorming and perfecting his act, he says, is a desire to restore a sense of wonder in the world. That's something I associate with the truly great magicians such as Harry Houdini, who symbolized escape for those struggling to break the bonds of the Great Depression.
"When you start learning magic, suddenly you can do something that other people can't — that's power," Trigg says. "But later what you enjoy is that feeling you get to give people, seeing how they experience the magic. Seeing their faces is more magical than the trick itself."
Trigg will perform in the Comedy and Magic for All Ages show at the Improv clubs in Addison and Arlington this month and go from table to table at Spaghetti Warehouse in downtown Dallas on Saturday nights. Also, if you happen to see a redheaded fellow start to pay for groceries or make a deposit at the bank with a $1 or $5 bill, then stroke that bill and turn it into a $20 or $100 instead, you may have just run into Trigg.

I've learnt quite a lot of the basics of C++, and now I would like to give myself a project to do rather than making useless bits of code testing the stuff that I've learnt. (Well, I made a program to do me homework for me but I didn't see that as much of a project. ) I've noticed that a lot of beginners are making text-based RPGs. Should I make one? RPGs are me favourite type of game and this should be a start. :P What do you think I should start off with? Thanks.

Early Sunday morning, a man was found dead in Demi Moore's swimming pool at her Beverly Hills residence, according to authorities. The 21-year-old male was discovered at the bottom of the pool after an alleged party at the star's home while she was away. The identity of the man found has not been released by police.
TMZ reported that there was a party at Moore's house on Saturday night that carried over into the next morning. According to a neighbor, there have been, "parties every day, day and night," for the last few weeks.
The 52-year-old actress was not home at the time of the incident. The neighbor also told reporters that her three children have been staying at the house while she is out of town.
Law enforcement officials stated the body of the man was found in the early hours of the morning and that no one from Moore's family was at the home when police discovered the body at the bottom of the swimming pool. Police are currently investigating the cause of death to see if any foul play was involved.

ALMOST $1 billion could be saved each year if public hospitals were forced to be more efficient with their spending, a think tank says.
The Grattan Institute says an efficient price for hospital services should be set by state governments to remove what it says is about $928 million in "avoidable" spending annually.
The institute's health director, Stephen Duckett, called for administrators to be held more accountable for spending, saying the current funding for the average cost of care rewarded inefficiency.
The institute's report, Controlling Costly Care, says there is a gulf between so-called high- and low-cost hospitals. The gap between the most and least expensive is as high as $2500 an admission in some states.
Dr Duckett said a new efficient average price should be set and linked to hospital funding.
The new benchmark would take account of unavoidable costs, which could be because patients were older or coming from remote areas.
However, it would also remove inefficient spending on items such as supplies, or on patients waiting or staying too long in a hospital bed.
"What we're asking states to do is to be tighter in the way they set their prices at public hospitals," Dr Duckett told AAP.
"There are a range of reasons for why hospital costs vary, and what we're saying is that these all need to be under control."
