Anesthesia In Your Dog And Cat
Ron Hines DVM PhD
When your cat or dog is scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure many pet owners' first thought is the risks of anesthesia. That's perfectly natural – the risks of general anesthesia in some pets is greater than that of the surgery itself.
All veterinarians know this and most of us share your concerns. Today's veterinarians are fortunate in that older, less predictable, anesthetics have been replaced by compounds that are very predictable and safe when properly used. The gas anesthetics we use today quickly dissipate from your pet's body. Their effects are quickly reversed by natural or assisted ventilation (breathing) to get them out of your pet's system rapidly. Almost every injectable anesthetic now has its own special reversal agent. These agents have dramatically reduced surgical anesthetic risk to your pet. Pet owners often wonder which anesthetic is the safest. The answer is that whichever anesthetic your veterinarian and his/her assistants are most familiar and comfortable using is the safest.
Many of the drugs that veterinarians use for anesthesia – especially those that are given by injection – are general anesthetics at one dose and sedatives at a lesser dose. So the difference between your pet being sedated and your pet being anesthetized it blurry. As a rule, veterinarians never give more than just enough of an anesthetic to do the procedure painlessly. Giving lower doses of several pain-alleviating medications rather than a large dose of a single medication is often the safer method.
Because it is common for pets to be apprehensive in animal hospitals, veterinarians use general anesthetics more frequently than your human physician probably would. Procedures such as x-rays, joint examinations and laparoscopy that your human physician would do while you were awake with no more than a local anesthetic block can very rarely be done safely animals without general anesthesia or profound sedation.
Pre-anesthesia Testing:
There are two components of safety in the use of anesthetics.
The first is proficiency in their use. Proficiency comes with experience – using the same procedures (protocol), the same medications, day after day, year after year. The same goes for the surgical staff. With time everyone who assists knows the choreography. They can anticipate their colleagues' next move and need and assist without request.
The second component is evaluating the anesthetic risk in each individual pet. When your veterinarian is dissatisfied with the results of his/her pre-surgical physical exam, when breed, coexisting health issues or the results of pre-surgical laboratory tests give concern, your veterinarian may try to dissuade you from a general anesthetic procedure. Most veterinarians, comfortable in their profession, have no problem if you ask for a second opinion. Almost all areas of North America are not that far from veterinary centers and university veterinary colleges where board-certified veterinary surgeons and anesthesiologists practice. Like airline pilots, these veterinary specialists tends to be very organized, precise and thorough. (ref) By the time veterinarians are midway into their careers, most have developed a keen sense of surgical risk that is quite accurate but hard to quantify.
Pre-Anesthetic Blood Work Up:
Before major surgery, many veterinarians request that BUN and creatinine blood tests be run to gauge your pet's kidney health and that ALT, AP and a bilirubin test be run to detect liver problems. Glucose analysis can detect potential diabetes. A WBC count and differential is often included and an EKG helps to detect possible heart problems. It is not uncommon for the results of a few of these tests to be slightly above normal in a midlife dog or cat – many minor elevations turn out not to be significant. But when your veterinarian knows of potential problems in advance she/he can make modifications in the anesthesia, surgical and aftercare procedures that protect your pet's life.
Pre-anesthetic Administration:
Veterinarians usually give pre-anesthetic sedation agents such as acepromazine, butophanol, diazepam (Valium®) or a combination of them and similar drugs to pets to calm them down and relax them before surgery (an anesthetic cocktail). Excited pets might require more sedatives and pre-anesthetics. Once the sedative or tranquilizer has taken effect, an intravenous catheter can be placed into the pet's vein so fluids and additional medications can be given as the surgery progresses. A leading veterinary anesthesia/analgesia specialist put together a checklist of anesthesia and pre anesthesia techniques and medications for veterinarians and their technicians. You can read it here.
Selection Of The Safest Anesthetic Agent:
Anesthetics are administered in one of six ways. They can be injected locally around nerves. There they block local nerves that carry sensations of pain to the brain (a nerve block). They can be placed by injection in the tissues surrounding the spinal cord where they block sensations of pain (a "spinal"). They can be injected into the pet's muscle or a vein to be absorbed into the pet's general blood stream. From there they are carried to the pet's brain. (ref) Many of these same agents can be added to bags of sterile fluid and given intravenously as a slow drip. That allows your veterinarian to lighten or deepen the degree of anesthesia as the surgery progresses. Special gases, most of them modified ethers, are administered by inhalation. (ref)
As I mentioned earlier, ideal anesthesia uses neither more nor less of the anesthetics than the amounts necessary to perform the procedure pain-free. This must be monitored throughout the procedure. So a special non-distracted person is generally assigned to watch your pet closely. One tries to give just enough of the drugs to maintain the pet pain-free and relaxed during the procedure so that it will regain consciousness quickly once the surgery is complete. The small amount of the drugs that remain in the pet's system help ease immediate post-operative pain. Others to combat pain are given later. This amount is different for each patient. More painful procedures, such as intra-abdominal surgery, or spaying and orthopedic surgery require more anesthetics than procedures such as teeth cleaning or superficial tumor removal. Often, a combination or two or more anesthetics, given in different ways, works better than a single agent given alone.
Preparing Your Pet for General Anesthesia:
There are several things that you as a pet owner can do to help your veterinarian plan for successful general anesthesia and surgery.
First, if you have fears about your pet's ability to tolerate anesthesia let your veterinarian know a week or so before the scheduled surgery. Most veterinarians will be happy to explain the benefits and risks of anesthesia and other treatment options that may be available. Let the veterinarian know if you have noticed any lethargy, exercise intolerance, weight loss, tendency to bleeding (read about why here) or changes in body functions that may need to be explored. Ask that complete pre-anesthetic blood work be performed on your pet prior to surgery. Be sure to let your veterinarian know if your pet has reacted badly to anesthetics or medications in the past. Even the fact that a close relative of your pet did not tolerate anesthesia well is something your veterinarian will want to know. Dogs and cats are extremely perceptive as to your fears and worry and it is not unusual for them to show "empathy" illness in response to your concern and worry regarding their coming surgery.
Withhold all food from your pet for at least twelve hours prior to surgery unless your veterinarian specifically tells you not to. This is to help prevent the pet from vomiting and inhaling stomach contents into its lungs during the procedure. Fasting also helps lessen nausea in the pet as it is regaining consciousness. It is amazing how many pets that I have operated on had food in their stomachs despite my advice not to feed them. So all members of your household need know your veterinarians instructions. Removing kitchen garbage containers from the pet's ability to reach is also a good idea. Many vets suggest that you allow your pet to drink water up to 4 hours before the surgery, but ask the receptionist since veterinarians differ in that advice.
If the pet is not ill, groom and comb it prior to bringing it to the hospital. Allow it to relieve itself before entering the hospital. If your pet is not on a flea preventative, let them know. Don't spray pets down with strong smelling, perfumed flea mists and colognes (eg Adams Mist), the staff will check them for parasites and use whatever flea meds they prefer. Surgery time is not vaccination booster time. Find out what the clinic's immunization guidelines are in advance.
Many smaller veterinary hospitals do not routinely have twenty-four hour staff to observe your pet after surgery. That might mean that your pet would spend the night after surgery alone in the hospital. If you desire round the clock monitoring, let the animal hospital staff know sufficiently prior to the surgery date so that they can arrange it. If that is not possible and if you have a nurse's temperament and abilities, I suggest you pick your pet up just prior to hospital closing and watch over it yourself that evening. Keep the veterinarian's emergency phone number or the number of a 24-hour emergency care service at hand. Dogs and cats are homebodies who find the familiar odors, sites and sounds of home a powerful incentive to getting well.
You should leave the hospital with a set of discharge instructions. If you have small children at home be careful that they do not bother the pet during its recovery. It is not unusual for dogs and cats to be snappy for a few days subsequent to surgery, particularly when the area surrounding their incision site is touched. Call the clinic immediately if drainage continues longer than the staff told you it would. Call if the pet runs a fever . Call if it will not eat. Call if the dressing has odor. In fact, call if you are uncertain about any aspect of your pet's recovery. A time will already have been set for your pet's skin sutures to be removed (unless the sutures were placed subcuticularly).
Stages Of Surgical Anesthesia:
Induction is the first stage of anesthesia as the pet gradually looses consciousness. Once a dog or cat is sufficiently relaxed and its cough and gag reflexes eliminated, it can be intubated. A plastic tube of suitable diameter and length is placed in its windpipe to facilitate breathing, to be sure its airway to the lungs remains unobstructed and to facilitate assisted respiration should that be required. This is especially important in flat-faced breeds such as Persian cats, pekingeses, pugs and bulldogs whose facial conformation makes breathing a challenge.
The anesthesiologist will regulate the depth of your pet's anesthesia (anesthetic plane) by increasing or decreasing the amount of gas administered through the endotracheal tube or administering more injectable agent. Reversal medications allow veterinarians to decrease the depth of anesthesia from injectable anesthetics. Sick, weak and older pets require less of these anesthetic agent and very close monitoring throughout and after the procedure.
During surgery the depth of your pet's anesthesia will be gauged by the animal's eye blink reflexes, pulse strength, heart rate, gum color and jaw muscle tone. Blood pressure, heart monitors and a pulse oximeter clipped on your pet's tongue to access its blood oxygen saturation are often in place as well.
Monitors are often left in place during recovery to be certain wake up is uneventful. Sometimes, during slow recovery reversal drugs are given to wake the patient up more quickly. Pets are often chilled and shivering as they come up from extended anesthesia and surgery – particularly the smaller breeds, cats and thin pets. They really appreciate being wrapped in a heated towel or blanket fresh from the dryer, or being placing on a cloth-wrapped hot water bottle.
Post Anesthetic Pain Control:
Pets, like people, are in considerable pain after major surgery. One must balance the desire for pain control with the side effects of all effective pain control medications. Most drugs that block pain also depress the heart, circulatory system and respiration.
Never reach into your medicine cabinet for human pain relief medicines with the intent of giving them to your dog or a cat. Some of those medications that are safe for you are definitely not safe for your dog or cat.
There are two links at the beginning of this article that discuss pain control medications

Criminal barristers in England and Wales are threatening to walk out of trials or refuse new work over a pay row with the Crown Prosecution Service. The Criminal Bar Association says rates for prosecution work have not risen in 20 years and barristers can receive as little as £46.50 for a day's work. In a CBA survey, 95% of barristers said they would strike to change the rates. The CPS said it was in the process of reviewing barrister fees to make them "fair, affordable and sustainable". The government announced extra funding for criminal defence barristers' trial fees last year after they went on strike in protest at a new system for determining their legal aid payments. But the CBA has ... Full story

I appeared on the Thom Hartmann Big Picture show on Monday to try to demystify and digest the Michael Dunn verdict. As Hartmann points out during the interview, the jury found that Dunn was guilty of shooting at a moving vehicle (the 5th count) but failed to find him guilty of shooting Jordan Davis, an unarmed teen. Dunn also received guilty verdicts of the three attempted murders. After thinking about the verdict, I believe the jury must have found that there was no threat or fear of threat when Dunn fired the last three of ten shots at the car, in which Jordan Davis was a passenger, as it sped away from Dunn. But that still begs the question of why they did not find him guilty of the first seven shots which resulted in Davis' death.
There were 12 jurors in the room deliberating along with a 13th juror. And that 13th juror resulted in a hung jury. The 13th juror is the subconscious or conscious racial bias of one or more of the jurors assembled. In football, there are 11 players. But often times, sportscasters will talk about a 12th man playing. The 12th man is how the fan crowd noise is referred. And often times, in a football game, the 12th man who is not playing on the field but sitting in the stands loudly cheering for their team will affect the outcome of the game. And the 13th juror obviously affected the outcome of the verdict and resulted in a mistrial. Whatever racial bias existed on the part of one or more of the jurors may have resulted in one or more of them not being able to accept that Dunn's version of the events was unsupported by everyone at trial, except him.
The state intends to retry Michael Dunn. But there are acts that can be taken by everyday citizens to protest and protect against this injustice occurring. First, Florida's Stand Your Ground laws must be revisited, revised and/or repealed. And in order to begin the work of doing so, activists and community people who care about justice for all Americans and particularly young black teens, men and women must rally, lobby and vote to effectuate the change. Those who support justice for all the Jordan Davis's, Renisha McBrides, Trayvon Martins and Jonathan Ferrells must be the change agents. A vigilante must not be allowed to follow innocent black youth or provoke an argument and assert a subjective perceived threat and shoot and kill an unarmed black child. And then be either found not guilty or a hung jury. As CNN's legal commentator Holly Hughes stated, imagine if it were reversed and older black men were shooting and killing young white youth. The law would be repealed in a flick of an eye.
In addition, to fighting to repeal the discriminatory and racially disproportionately unfair Stand Your Ground law in Florida, those who stand on the side of justice must fight for laws to protect life. As much as there is needed a change in Stand Your Ground laws, there must be laws to protect human life. In America, we value human life more than anything. And we need laws that will protect our children against vigilantes who will shoot and kill an innocent unarmed child and then fail to call the police but return to a hotel room to drink and order pizza. As Jordan Davis' father stated:
We do not accept a law that would allow collateral damage to our family members. "We expect the law to be behind us and protect us. That's what I wanted the law to do—protect Jordan as we protected Jordan."
Protecting our youth against armed vigilantes should not be a white or black issue. It is a family values issues. It is an American issue. And we must all fight against any injustices that take away human life where the perpetrator is not held criminally responsible.
My commentary on the Dunn verdict on the Thom Hartmann show on RT American follows below.

Since bathroom is a location where there is a lot of water, make sure the texture of the tiles is not overly slippery and slick. Organizing a small bathroom doesn't need to be a tremendous job, but nevertheless, it wouldn't hurt to sort first. It's ideal for those little bathrooms. A little bathroom in the view of Donald Trump will most likely be different in the view of you or me.
With a tiny bathroom model, it can be challenging to work out precisely what you would like out of your bathroom. When it regards small bathrooms, there are many tactics to include all of the bathroom fixtures without trading off the looks and utility. So, to begin with, small bathrooms are small in relation to the total size of the home. Therefore, in case you have a little apartment bathroom, then have a look at these ideas to produce your space comfortable and useful and an excellent way to keep bathroom supplies in the bathroom in the place where they belong and not in different rooms.
Because it's important to get a bathroom where one can relax or have a leisurely bath it is critical that you select bathroom thoughts and designs which appeal to you. With a small imagination, it is straightforward to convert just a little bathroom into the dream haven you've always desired. Many smaller bathrooms are observed in the interior of the house's floor program, meaning there aren't any windows and therefore no organic light in the room.

A new set of renders seemingly showcasing the Samsung Galaxy Sport and its fresh minimalist design emerged today via TigersMobile, indicating that the wearable will indeed be offered in multiple color choices. The same design only in the color gray was revealed in another leaked render earlier this week, but the new image indicates that the OEM's upcoming wearable will also be offered in black, dark teal, and rose gold.
The same design philosophy is shown in the new renders where the smartwatch's case and buckle share the same color and seemingly the same choice of materials. Likewise, the silicon strap matches the color of the metal for a uniform look, and of course, the display is once again circular and lacking a rotating bezel. The new renders also reveal three new watch faces.
According to the source, the Samsung Galaxy Sport will be the OEM's first smartwatch model to include Bixby Reminders. It will also allow users to perform mobile payments via NFC, and much like the ongoing Galaxy Watch, it should sport 4GB of RAM. But as yet, it's unclear whether Samsung has developed a new low-energy chipset for the upcoming wearable. The Samsung Galaxy Watch is fueled by the Exynos 9110 silicon featuring two CPU cores clocked at up to 1.15GHz, whereas the Gear Sport that preceded it was equipped with the Exynos 7270 chipset.
Likewise, when the Samsung Galaxy Watch launched last year it arrived with Tizen OS 4.0, up from version 3.0 featured by the Gear Sport. Having said that and given the lack of a rotating bezel for the upcoming model, it's almost certain that Samsung has updated Tizen OS to include new features and especially new input methods. The two physical side buttons will surely be used for interacting with the UI, but new gestures may have also been added to take advantage of or compensate for the bezel-free look.
Given these fundamental changes in design, it will also be interesting to see if the upcoming model will weight considerably less than the Galaxy Watch, which tips the scale at around 49 grams and 63 grams, depending on size. Either way, it's expected to retain waterproof capabilities and Super AMOLED screen technology, fueling the Always-on display feature.
The Samsung Galaxy Sport should be introduced to prospective buyers on stage at the OEM's next big Unpacked event scheduled to take place on February 20, when the Samsung Galaxy S10 series will debut. This has yet to be officially confirmed by the tech giant but the previous smartwatch models have been accompanied by a flagship phone at previous Unpacked conferences, and there's no reason to believe Samsung won't do the same with its new smartwatch generation.
It is believed that the Galaxy Sport will be released in two main flavors, one of which will support LTE while the other will be limited to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. But it remains to be seen if the OEM will offer the wearable in two different sizes, much like it did with the Samsung Galaxy Watch which was made available with a 1.2-inch and 1.3-inch circular display.

Russian animation specialist Wizart is racking up more sales on its EFM slate. The company has struck a high-profile deal with Universal Pictures Video France for The Snow Queen: Mirrorlands that guarantees a wide theatrical release in France as well as in Andorra, Monaco, and the French-speaking territories of Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Africa.
Meanwhile, Turkish rights on Sheep And Wolves: Pig Deal have now gone to Filmarti, while Shooting Stars has taken the project for the Middle East and will look to give the film a release in Saudi Arabia, where the ban on cinema-going was recently lifted.
In 2016, the first Sheep And Wolves racked up 115,000 admissions in Turkey.
"The main reason why we are proud to distribute this animation in Turkey is the fact that it is not only timeless, but the story is also universally appealing," Filmarti's head of acquisitions Bulent Gunduz said of the sequel. "Audiences of any age or heritage can appreciate this modern folklore – and have fun while they're doing so!"
Shooting Stars has distributed several Wizart titles, among them its first animated feature, The Snow Queen, in 2012.
Another Wizart title, Fantastic Journey To Oz, has found a British home with distributor Signature, which released The Snow Queen. The deal was negotiated by Elizabeth Williams, Signature's head of acquisitions and development. Peppermint will handle the German release of the film.

Board Game Review: Apples to Apples
It is simple as in you can be playing it in a few minutes and never look back or continue to refer back to instructions.
The fun is in it's play. The basics are their is one "judge" per round and pulls a green card which contains an adjective or descriptive phrase. Everyone else has 7 red cards in their hand which contain a noun - person, place or thing. The judge tells everyone the word. Each player then puts a card down that will be read by the judge who will then decide which card goes best with the adjective or phrase. The fun part is that the judge can use any criteria they want to make that decision. So the players putting down their noun cards learn to do so depending on what they think the judge will pick. This means it might be the most outrageous combination. Maybe the adjective is cuddly and a player puts down the noun card Typhoid Mary. Sometimes the best choice is completely appropriate - stuffy and republicans. Again it just depends. Whoever had the winning card for that round keeps the green card and the overall winner is whoever ends up with the number of green cards set as the target number needed to win. That can be set as the game states or adjusted to work with the group playing.
If it at all sounds interesting pick it up. We had a good mix of adults to kids (youngest 13) and it was great fun. Again just a little Christmas randomness. Enjoy!

Area cities get double-digit snow
The first big winter storm of the season walloped southern Wisconsin with several inches of snow Sunday, prompting some cities to declare snow emergencies.
Far southeastern Wisconsin saw 10 to 12 inches of snow before the storm moved on. Caledonia took the top spot with 13 inches.
"This is the first big storm for our area" of the season, said meteorologist Sarah Marquardt with the National Weather Service in Sullivan. "Southern Wisconsin has seen only a few inches of snow so far this winter."
Several cities have declared snow emergencies. Blizzard warnings were out for Racine and Kenosha counties through Sunday evening.
Despite the snow, general manager Mark Lombardo of Matty's Bar & Grill, a sports bar in New Berlin, still expected a strong turnout for Super Bowl Sunday.
"Here in Wisconsin, with the snow, we're pretty used to it," Lombardo said. "Lots of folks have the big four-wheel trucks. The snow doesn't really slow them down."
General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee reported 22 cancellations Sunday afternoon, including some to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
Pleasant Prairie - 12.0
Kenosha - 12.0
Mitchell International - 11.5
East Troy - 11.0

I had the opportunity to spend a few fabulous days with ex-Jet , No. 9, the one and only Bobby Hull fishing Lake of the Woods! Bobby was telling me that no one ever told him about how awesome this body of water really was.
That really surprised me as I was under the belief that everyone on the planet knew of Kenora and the awesome fishing. Bobby has been coming up with me and my crew for about 10 years now. He really enjoys hunting for big walleye and he sure likes to eat them with his buddy and former linemate Ulf Nilsson. These two guys can eat as much walleye as I have ever seen in one sitting.
Ulf was busy and did not make the trip this year. We did miss him as his steady hand usually puts a few keepers in the live well.
Bobby is a superb angler and I will tell you that he is as good with a jig as he was with his big slap shot. That curved stick made those puck fly, now his favorite rod, a Fenwick 6″6′ is bent just like that big curve. That's just the way he likes it. Bobby is 79 years young and sets the hook on those walleye to cross their eyes. It's not often he misses a bite. In fact once in a while he falls asleep in the boat rod in hand.
At first it kind of concerned me that we might loose a rod. Boy was I wrong! He does not miss a hook set even while snoozing. I have watched him hammer the fish with a full sweep while I thought he was asleep!
Bobby can tough it out even in the worst weather and never complains about foul weather or a rough ride. Thanks to my buddy Silas Waldner for lending me his big Lund Fisherman for my Bobby Hull tour. It made things much more pleasant than riding in my bass boat. This way we were out of the wind and able to stay dry and warm.
Each morning we started with a hearty breakfast of walleye and eggs, Bobby would have it no other way! We then hit the water looking for our limit of walleye. Thanks to Tom and Hubert for letting our crew camp out at his camp. Accommodations were outstanding and we all appreciated the warm fire place each damp day we fished.
We had to move around a bit to find the walleye as Fall turnover was taking place and the fish were not in their traditional areas. After some searching, we found a school off a long rock point at 25 feet. Bobby and I worked the area methodically and eventually ended up on the other side of the point out of the wind.
Now normally you would think the walleye would be staged on the windy side, this was not the case. We found a school keying in on a huge school of shiners. I know what they were as the walleye we caught were in full feed mode and puking up shiners all the way to the boat. In fact, a few times I managed to pick up a live one the walleyes threw up and used it to catch a few fish as soon as it hit the bottom.
We fished for a total of six hours and managed to shake up a grand total of 101 walleye and we went thru six dozen minnows and a 1/2 pound of leeches. The smack down was on and we were both pretty excited about it.
Lake of the Woods produced so many fish that day it was kind of crazy! I believe our grand total for the day was over 140 fish with a few bass , perch and crappie in the mixture. I know only a few places on earth that can produce a dream day like that.
Bobby and I certainly had other trips in the past where we have caught bigger fish Yet for sheer numbers I think it was our best day ever. I can't tell you how awesome it was to spend the day in the boat alone with Bobby. We didn't talk hockey, in fact spend more time discussing jig selection and fish location. It was a spot on the spot thing and experienced anglers know what I'm talking about.
Boat control was critical and even difficult with the wind blowing and the waves crashing into the boat. Spot lock on the Minnkota Terrova did help but conditions were difficult. I want to thank Paul Duncan and Dave DeVries for their assistance guiding our great group of guys. Paul you make the best beer batter fish ever!
Till next week "Keep your lines tight."

Mixed results.
Starting off with the good, the club went to Anaheim with a 1-2 record. They split the four game series with the Halos and left with a 3-4 tally. I'll take a .500 road record.
Texas prospect Nomar Mazara made his Major League debut last night as the team faced nemesis Jered Weaver. The Rangers lost the game 3-1 but Mazara went 3-for-4 with a home run. All three of Nomar's hits were off Weaver. Not too shabby for a young man who was supposed to spend most of the season at Triple A.
As to what derailed that plan, that's on the not good news side of things. During warmups on Saturday Shin-Soo Choo, shown here 2014 Gypsy Queen Blue Border card number 58 (numbered 227/499), was running sprints in the outfield. He strained a muscle in his right calf. That's going to put him out for four to six weeks. Texas will really miss Choo but at least they appear to have enough depth in the outfield to mostly cover for him for awhile.
If the Choo incident wasn't enough, Robinson Chirinos fouled a ball off his right forearm during Saturday's game. He had to leave the game right after the at bat. Examination revealed a fractured bone. That's going to put Chirinos on the shelf for ten to twelve weeks at a minimum. Not a good situation for the Rangers, who are very thin behind the plate this year. New Ranger Bryan Holaday now becomes the starting catcher for Texas and Brett Nicholas got the call up from Triple A to back Holaday. The other options for Texas are Chris Gimenez and Michael McKerny who were both in Spring Training with the club. Unfortunately both are down right now with injuries and unavailable.
Hopefully this is all the bad news for Texas for awhile. I don't mind saying it brings up all too recent memories of the beginning of the 2014 season and we all know how that turned out. For now though, things seem to be stabilized and the team looks to be able to carry on and pick up some wins. Tonight they start a series in Seattle and it would be good to see them take two of three to head back home at .500.

Maybe it's because you were raised to be polite, or maybe you're a sensitive soul. But, it's not okay to take blame and guilt for things you didn't do, or feel shame for who or what you are. Negative people not only send out bad energy vibes, but they also negatively influence other's thoughts and […]
Fight The Work Depression
According to scientific research, the sequence of small failures can cause a stronger depression when compared with each high-stress factor taken separately. Since we spend about a half of life at work, where fails often happen, let's see what we can do to lift the spirits at work, using nothing but the chemistry of our mood.
Recently, I've talked to my friend complaining about his bad mood at work. He told me about vain attempts to google for some tips and trying to follow given advice. Why were they vain? I asked him what the advice was, and some pieces were something like that:
- "Don't set yourself up for expecting perfection."
- "Start in the middle."
- "Get in a routine."
As you see, all the tips are
- vague;
- complicated.
Yeah, you may say these tips come along with explanations, and this makes sense. However, they still leave much room for our subjective perception; so, it appears that the authors of that advice do nothing but try guessing the reasons of your depression. Fact: Nobody knows what's there in your head, and that is why writers refer to abstract concepts and techniques. (I swear I won't!) Funny thing, but probability theory works in favour of such "gurus", leaving you two options:
- If you started feeling better, an article helped you.
- If not, it means you did something wrong.
And it's difficult to prove you followed all the tips right. Why do such vague tips prosper?
- We are lazy. Reading some tips on the Internet is much easier than trying to analyze real-life problems. Even if those tips don't help, a little distraction will postpone negative thoughts. People even ask Siri to help with depression!
- We enjoy feeling special and hard nuts to crack.
What is depression?
This term was first used by German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin who characterized depression as the triad of symptoms:
- affective inhibition
- motoric inhibition
- ideational inhibition
In plain English, we feel sad, we think hard, and we poke along when depressed. You see, our inhibited functions are not unique: animals also go depressive, which is characterized by the same criteria; and it gives scientists the ability to analyze the depression phenomenon much more efficiently. Numerous scientific experiments show us that:
- depression is an ancient disorder;
- it works similarly for humans, cats, dogs, rats, and even birds;
- mechanisms used to beat depression are common, too.
Any examples needed? Let's take a dog that has a depression-like state. It's obvious that this dog can't "set itself up for expecting perfection." But, it's scientifically proven that animals, as well as humans, have natural mechanisms for coping with depression. For example, a dog starts licking its hair to feel better. Simple as that! D'you want to find out how it works and if you can get in on the dog's act of dealing with depression? Take a look at the infographic!

Good Monday Morning to you all. Here's a poem to start the week :)
Be Thankful
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.
~ Helen Dowd

Good Monday Morning to you all :)
Last week I felt as though I was running on empty. So far this year, I have had one operation and had another postponed till next year. I have seen a Doctor, Dentist, Orthodontist, Periodontist, Prosthodontist, Anesthetist, a Podiatrist Surgeon, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, Neurosurgeon, Urological Surgeon, Haematologist, Neurologist, Naturopath and a Clinical Psychologist. I've had an Ultra sound, Xray, MRI and a CT scan. I have successfully undergone EMDR therapy, had a malignant tumor removed and chemo treatment.
It's been quite a year. And as the end of 2012 approached, I was tired and down-hearted. I thought about giving up on many things. And then, out of the blue comes a pick-me-up from friends on the other side of the country…
I ducked out for a few minutes on Friday evening at about 7 pm, and returned home to find that a beautiful potted rose with a new bloom and a bud ready to open had been delivered. Something so simple had a profound affect on me. It was like being infused with encouragement and enthusiasm. I believe I can keep going.
Thank you, my friends at Sunset Publishing: Darryl, Sue and Jean.
No matter how bad things are, there is always some good to be found. And no matter how good things are, there is always something bad that must be faced. God has blessed me, and I feel like a winner!

Specular to Metalness / Roughness Conversion
Hi there,
I'm happy to see the new features in ShaderMap 4.2 which allow conversion from metal/rough/diffuse to specular.
Unfortunately I'm standing on the other end with one of my projects having third party assets set up with specular map and albedo.
Is there any workflow which would allow me to convert the available albedo + specular/glossiness maps sets into roughness and metalness textures (I want to reduce the texture load using a RMA shaders to a single texture instead of the multiple textures of the specular setup)?
If there is, any hint to a guide would be appreciated.
If not, would it be possible to see nodes for the described conversion process to be added to ShaderMap in the near future?
Best Regards
Hi Tobias,
I've just cooked up a diffuse spec gloss -> albedo metal rough template. While doing that I found a couple of bugs. Let me work on an update today and I'll post version 4.2.2 tomorrow with the requested template and the bug fixes.
Thanks for the suggestion.
ShaderMap 4.2.2 is now available. I've updated the Templates to include the requested conversions (1).
Learn more about each conversion at: shadermap.com/docs/_pbr_conversion_templates.html

AODN Metadata Catalogues
The AODN provides discovery and access services through two mechanisms: the AODN metadata catalogue and the AODN Portal (primary data access point).
The AODN Metadata Catalogue
Contributing organisations publish metadata to the AODN, by providing ISO 19115 compliant metadata, extended by the Marine Community Profile (MCP, 1.4 or 2.0), which is harvested into the primary AODN GeoNetwork metadata catalogue. The AODN catalogue provides visibility of all AODN relevant metadata. The majority of the metadata records provide access to the data that they describe, either the data can be downloaded directly, or the user is directed to a webpage provided by the AODN contributor for data access. The remainder of the metadata records either describe how users can obtain the data, e.g. by the provision of contact details of the principal investigator, or simply document the existence of the data which is not currently accessible, for example due to the researcher embargoing it for publication purposes.
Metadata and the AODN Portal
Contributing organisations are also able to publish metadata and data through the AODN Portal, by the provision of MCP 2.0 metadata which are marked up with OGC web compliant services and AODN controlled vocabularies. These selected metadata are harvested from contributors and stored in a second GeoNetwork instance that backs the Portal.
The AODN Portal is designed to be an intuitive and easy to use access point for ocean data. All published data collections can be downloaded through the user interface. The AODN Portal is a consumer of web services including OGC CSW which is used to query the catalogue. The AODN portal also consumes web services defined in the metadata and it uses these to provide visualisation, subsetting, and data download to end users.
The AODN Maintains a list of useful links to organisations and/or websites that can provide more information specific to data tools, national/international collaborators or related infrastructure.
For more information on contributing to the AODN see the Portal User Guide - Contributing Data Section.

Pokemon Go news: Niantic confirm big Community Day update as fans spot secret 2019 event
Trainers have been waiting to find out one major detail about the upcoming January Community Day event.
Totodile will be the star of the three-hour celebrations and will come with a special unlockable move.
What this will be has not been confirmed yet, but Trainers expect the Pokemon Go news to drop in the coming days.
Niantic likes to leave the special move reveal till last and only have until January 12 to do so.
That's when the big Community Day event will kick off, unleashing a wave of shiny and non-shiny, Totodiles.
But while fans are waiting on news about the special move for January, we do know something for sure.
Players won't be able to unlock it by purchasing a second move slot on their Pokemon.
A second charge move was an option added as part of the recent PvP feature release and costs a lot of Candy and Stardust.
Some fans have been curious about how this second move slot could change things when it comes to future Community Days.
And now Niantic has provided a firm answer for players on Android and iOS devices.
"To learn the exclusive move, you must capture or Evolve the featured Pokémon during Community Day hours," Niantic support explains.
"Using TMs or unlocking a "New Attack" on previously evolved Feraligatr will not work. Let us know if you have further queries!"
The news has been shared by fans on social media and is something that will affect players heading into the future.
"On the one hand I'm glad I can give pokemon I've already evolved a second move without fear of being locked out," one PoGo player writes.
"On the other hand, this is yet another instance of being punished for playing the game."
While another player adds: "Their goal is to keep people playing more, so making you go out and get a new good IV mon fits their model better than letting you upgrade the old ones.
"Also, they realise a bunch of the old high IV mon were acquired before they made inroads on neutralising scanners/maps so to some extent these events marginalise those old Pokémon by only giving event moves to the newly evolved ones.
"I don't totally agree with their approach, but I get it."
Some Trainers have said that they will try and see what happens with the second move slot during Community Day hours, just in case there is a glitch.
In other news, Trainers believe they may have spotted hints that a new event is coming to the game soon.
The new 2019 Loading Screen is available for everyone to see, but it appears a tease may have been hiding in plain sight.
Among the few Pokemon featured on the game art, players have noticed the inclusion of Grumpig, Swinub and Spoink.
Trainers believe this might be hinting at some kind of celebration for the Chinese New Year, as we will be entering the Year of the Pig.
Will Tuesday, February 5 include the release of a new Gen 4 Pokemon? Is there a chance that Mamoswine will be part of a new update?
Pokemon Go will have only have to wait a few more weeks to find out.

Another day, another story!
A Little News From the Hill
A Smattering of Scattered Thoughts and Appreciations
The long, noisy weekend - the dancing and laughter, readings and connections, have all fallen to the quiet of a Tennessee morning on the hill. We are engulfed in a cloud of grey. Skeleton trees stretch out their limbs. I long for Spring. Or snow. Mostly, Spring. Sunshine, beaches. That old smell of Panama Jack that came with a warning: Must have a Dark Tan before you use this product. I did. It was glorious. Now just grey skies. Forever.
Yesterday morning Mama had a bad dream and I went running down the stairs cause I heard her call out.
I said, "Mama?"
She said, "I'm ok,"
Bad dreams find all of us sometimes. Waking from one can leave you as empty as those trees. Just as lonely. But if there's an old dog nearby or someone that says, "You ok?" that cares about your sleeping and waking hours it can make a difference you can feel. Like a rock that has weight and drops down to a place where you feel like someone or something solid and forever anchors you to this world. Waking up from a bad dream to an empty bed, an empty house, empty arms takes all the substance away. Like you could just float away and nothing in this world would save you 'cept Jesus.
I came home from my trip and rolled up my sleeves to finish this novel. No matter what. The days the hours, the obligations, schedule, promotions and road trips coming. Now, I bring this story home. Going into the deep end, out there, where those characters live and breathe inside of me. And, it's fixin' to get real. My good friend, crazy man, writer, Pulitzer finalist, Charles McNair says writing is something like controlled schizophrenia. Yeah, something Just like that. When you get it right.
On the Air
Did Clearstory Radio yesterday just playing some tunes and sharing a few stories. Next week - the Montage - Live from Jefferson: The Pulpwood Queens Girlfriend Getaway Weekend. Please tune in and share. Wednesday, January 30, 1:00 Central. Special appearances with authors from the week and a great shout out to my #1 man Adam Green for running sound, plugging in his equipment, filling in all my gaps and making it all seem just like the greatest jam session of all time. (And - folks, that boy can dance!) You know you have the right recording partner when you can say, Let's do this! Do some interviews and then yell, Let's DANCE! and take a break. Much fun and Great Love!
Confessions will be out there before I know it. I'll be back on the road, visiting readers at bookstores and bookclubs across the country but right now -
It's Thursday up on this hill. Mama is a late night bird. Always has been. So she's still sleeping and I might get another chapter in before she wakes. But no matter. No matter the hours - morning or midnight - I've dedicated hours every day to this novel set in Nashville that has some surprises up its sleeve. I promise. I've been saying since last summer I was just 2 weeks away from finishing. Something Mr. Clyde Edgerton calls the sweet place. The sweet space just got sweeter 'cause this is the real deal. The last two weeks. It's the time your story possesses you and you just got to get lost in it and let it drive the train. If you see me and my eyes look a little glazed over it's cause I'm not really living in this world. I've got Black Crows playing in my earphones and these people are talking to me, all I hear is them running through my brain. There's a girl sitting in a bar drinking bourbon and talking to ghosts. She's trying to stay out of jail on a murder charge for a night she can't remember and she's about to play a winner take all poker game that has universal implications. If she loses, there goes the farm. And if she wins? Well, she doesn't think about that much. Bad luck don't you know.
Wishing you all the best luck this world has to offer today, angels to guide you, and your heart clear and pure as a clear creek, sun bouncing off that water as you skip a pocket-full of stones, watch them scatter, jump, take flight, and dissipate below the water, like heart-born wishes in the summer heat.
Your friend, River
Once Upon A Time there was a Creek
On the backside of Father's Day I have to write about what was heavy on my heart yesterday. It was father's day and this is a photo of my father better known as my Daddy and my sons who knew him as Pawpaw. He sits on his boat which after 22 years in the Army (including twelve years in Airborne) was the best place to be. Those cocky little kids on the boat were the best present I ever gave him.
All of our growing up years on Panama City Beach were spent making weekly pilgrimages a stones throw back up in the woods to Holmes creek. This eight acre little spread was down on the water lined with Cypress. The creek was filled with fish, nested by long legged herons and swamped enough to hold a few alligators. It was the beating of my Daddy's heart. And, now - it's gone.
This property has been in the family for generations. My great-grandaddy pulled the ferry across the creek with his old horse, Maude. Back then the creek was just slightly wider and cars would ferry on and ferry off. Years later my daddy as a young man would be one of the first on the crew that built the first bridge that went across. My young years were spent exploring the creek and like every kid and cousin for miles around hanging out under the bridge was a part of that ritual into adulthood. We read the names scratched underneath. Who hearted who. Years of graduation. Simple things. No F-bombs. Nothing crude, lewd or something you'd find in a bar at 2 am. Just kids being kids. The ground underneath the bridge was filled with piles of sandbags filled with cement that had solidified into a thing of it's own. This mound. Which is where we sat listening to the rare car coming a long way off and then thump, thump, thump as they slowly crossed the bridge checking the water.
Checking the water has been a part of that ritual of growing up. Is it high? Getting higher? Reaching flood level? Is it low? Are the fish biting? If they are - what's biting? Catfish, shellcrackers, mullet? What you usin' to catch'em?
When I was a little girl this tiny place was an actual working farm-ish. There were plenty of chickens, a big pig that always had little pigs back in the pen, a horse named Maude (still alive) and a barn we called the corn crib. There were barn cats which meant barn kittens that were beautiful and ferrel and meant to be mouser's not cuddle cats. ON more than one occasion we caught one and took it home to our house where they learned not all cats are born to be barn cats. It's where my sister had a little horse, where old Maude went wild one day with me riding her bareback, where family reunions were held down by the water but where ever day was a reunion. It's where Memaw worked hard and then watched her stories then we would all take a nap with the box fans in the window cooling us in the heat of the day.
Our Memaw cooked three meals a day the old fashioned way. That means with a stove. Her's being gas and an oven that turned out seven layer peanut butter cakes that we would fight for. The supper meant fried chicken and peas, fresh corn, and cornbread. Or fish caught that day from the multitude of folks that paid to launch their boats. When my great-grandaddy was alive he had a few boats he rented out for the day. The last chore of the evening of his was to bail those boats out and pull them to the shore.
My Daddy was raised here, in this place. My sister and I also. My sons, her children. My grandchildren have visited, played in the creek, listened to the stories. All of them. Of the Christmases past and of old lying Uncle Eddie Lewis and of so many silly wonderful simple days.
I once asked my Daddy where of all the places he'd been in his Army days was the best of all of them. Without hesitation he said - right here - with a grin that was his trademark. He was serious. If a person can be a place itself then Daddy was the creek.
As we got older a slew of teenage friends went with us spring, summer, fall to paddle the creek. Kids swam near the bank and we hang out in this paradise that we took for granted because it always had been and therefore always would be.
When Daddy died there was a comfort in knowing that as long as we had the creek, we had him. That somehow having the creek tied us to the past of every good thing. It was our north star and our touchstone. Our taproot. it tethered us to our lives and to each other.
But times, they do change. Old people die. Sometimes way too soon and too young. The Corn crib barn fell to ruin eventually. There hadn't been a hog in the hog-pen for twenty, maybe thirty years. Maude died finally before Grandaddy Skipper. Memaw passed away. The little house that had housed a multitude and fed an army every week got older and tired like people do. Even though it was propped up and nailed and had a new tin roof, it still leaked and sagged. It was ready I think to give up the ghost.
We have a few photos that all belong in a big immortal album but they are yet to be collected. Of us growing up and then our children posing down by the water or running across the sandy yard in a game of something born straight out of imagination. The photos that are missing are ones that are still in my heart. The time my sister and I were on the boat with Daddy, fishing just there at the edge of the bank on a quiet summer day. The dragonflies flitting at the waters edge. The wind stirring the surface so that I'd lift up my pole, check my hook, plop the red cork back down. Daddy would say - It's just the wind, not a bite - but I couldn't tell the difference. I was more aware of the song of the cicadas, the sun on my shoulders, the sound of my mother a lullybye softly as rocked one of the baby's to sleep, the melody but not the words lilting and finding their way to our ears.
I once told my mom we could tear it down and build something new. Maybe just put a little trailer there. She said that she wouldn't even want to be there anymore without the house there. It wouldn't feel the same.
Last night I dreamed of I was driving in storms, lost and trying desperately to find my way home. I finally pulled over and asked someone to help me. "I have to get to North Florida," I told them. When I woke I understood. My crush and longing from yesterday filtering into my dreams.
The creek was sold last week to a lovely family. Word is they are distant relatives, that somehow if this is actually possible their people owned the creek before our people did and then the families married and so on. I hope this is true. It helps take the sting out of the heartbreak.
It was time. It had to be done. But as much as my sister and I, my sons, my niece and nephew and kept a stiff upper lip - I'm afraid we've come undone. At least for Daddy Day. Maybe this week we'll all get back on track. I hope so. There's things to be done.
As a writer I know that all our memories have not disappeared but will now cross over into the place of myth. Where the power of story grows stronger with each passing year. Nothing can take away this from us. Our stories are ours to tell and tell well. It's the way legend's are born and men like my Daddy live forever.
Once upon a time there once was a Creek - and that story is never-ending.
But if you happen to be out for a drive in North Florida and find that you've wandered your way back up in the woods, turn down Miller's Ferry Road and drive till you come to a bridge - you'll know the one. When you cross please do us a favor, slow down to a crawl, roll down your window and check the water. Honk the horn twice to let folks know you've arrived. That you are crossing that bridge, making your way home.
Thanks so much for reading, liking and sharing with friends.

Beira at night
The final night, a night that weighed heavy on our hearts, was with the street children of Beira.
These children are orphaned and have no homes or place to live. The orphanages around the city are either too full and don't have the capacity to take in more children or some simply refuse to take the children in as they are ill. Every night these children have to try and find shelter and a safe place to sleep. During the day lunch is made available by Sant'Egidio and twice a week they all join to have a warm dinner. For some, these are the only dinners they will have all week. For that hour, all the children sit together eating, talking and laughing. And then just like that, the area once filled with the street children, is emptied out as they head into the dark to find a place for the night.
A very big thank you to Sant'Egidio and Deutsche AIDS-Stiftung for giving us the opportunity to capture these moments and meet these friendly children.

"Baker´s asthma" is a type of occupational asthma, frequently found in bakery industries, it has been linked to the inhalation of dust particles in the work place, and has no direct link to the patient´s medical history or clinical records. In fact Baker´s asthma, is a risk which could affect all operators involved in the production, preparation and baking process of bread and other bakery and pastry products.
The risk of exposure to the illness is derived mostly from the proximity and close contact to flour dust. Flour dust is defined as any and all finely ground particles which come from cereal or vegetables with other contaminants, which are freed during the process of grinding and later use of the flour. The main allergens involved are wheat flour and its derivatives, additives and microorganisms.
Flour dust is a dangerous substance, which can cause allergy rhinitis and occupational asthma. Currently it is estimated that occupational asthma affects 25% of workers in the bakery industry (bakeries, pastry shops, pizzerias, and other production units).
his is an illness which produces an elevated rate of absentees, medical leaves and occupational illnesses, generating a high number of economical and legal problems.
Since the Roman Empire there have existed ways of preventing illnesses due to the inhalation of flour dust. In ancient times prevention was done through the use of face masks by workers.
Currently, prevention is made through a combination of precautions and good practices, which minimize the occurrence of flour dust in the workplace. Practices which span various scopes and that all together, allow for a better workplace. Here are a few examples:

I'll miss Craig Silverstein, Google's first employee, who confirmed to me Thursday that he's leaving Google to work for the educational beacon Khan Academy. He was always a great interview, had a great sense of humor, and seemed to be one of the relatively few people left at Google who felt free to say what he really thought about the place, on the record, warts and all, even when it came to CEO Larry Page.
He confirmed his departure in a typically irreverent email to me a few hours ago, saying:
"You've pretty much covered it. It's hard to leave Google after so
long, but I'm excited by the opportunities at Khan. I don't know
exactly what I'll be doing at Khan — programming of some sort — but
I'm sure I'll find out more next week. :-)"
A few weeks ago, I went to the Googleplex for an interview with Craig about the culture of the company, which had just been selected as the best place to work in America. Craig video-conferenced in from New York, and walked into the interview carrying a lumpy object. "Can you tell what this is?" he said, holding it out. It was bread that Craig had just baked, which he proceeded to bite into with gusto.
Craig said that he'd started baking bread at Google in the earliest days, all the way back to when Google was in Susan Wojcicki's garage in Menlo Park. There were no good stores nearby, and Page, Silverstein and co-founder Sergey Brin didn't want to bike or drive all the way to downtown Palo Alto, so Craig started baking bread.
Over time, Craig said, it became an important symbol of Google's culture – not because people like fresh bread, they do – but because it was something other companies just did not do. It was a marker of Google's uniqueness.
I can't help but think that part of that Googley uniqueness is headed out the door with Craig's departure.
Here's a link to the interview I did with Craig in 2010: http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_16291970

garris made the good version of the shining
I really want to watch something proper good and scary tonight...what do you lot recommend?
Quote from: SailorOfTheSeas on June 13, 2014, 11:52:03 AMI really want to watch something proper good and scary tonight...what do you lot recommend? It is hard to not recommend something not obscure without knowing how familiar are you with genre. Still will try to counter-match some of your picks: The Orphanage - small people, so maybe "The Brood"? Haunted house - "The Changeling"?The Shining - there is nothing similar on that level I guess. "Suspiria" has some interesting art design - architecture, weird interiors etc. Man going insane angle - "Jacob's Ladder"?Blair Witch - found footage, "REC" then? "Videodrome" is quasi-found footage ;)The Ring - things you shouldn't touch - "Hellraiser" or visit - "1408"?Alien - sci-fi survival horror, "The Thing". Other apocalyptic films with aliens: "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978 version).

Brooks Koepka holds on to win nail-biting PGA Championship
Brooks Koepka, the 29-year-old Florida golfing phenom, won the 2019 PGA Championship on Sunday for the second year in a row, as he shot eight under par at The Black Course in Farmingdale, New York, for a final round score of 74, defeating Dustin Johnson by two strokes. This is Koepka's fourth major championship, as he won the 2017 and 2018 U.S. Open and the 2018 PGA Championship.
Koepka became the first player since Tiger Woods in 2006 and 2007 to win the PGA Championship in back-to-back years. He did so in dominating fashion, entering final round play with a massive seven stroke lead, though Dustin Johnson made things difficult for him in final round play.
"I'm just glad we didn't have to play anymore holes. That was a stressful round of golf," Koepka said upon receiving the Wanamaker Trophy. "DJ played awesome, but I'm glad to have this thing back in my hands."
Johnson, the world's No. 1 ranked player, gave Koepka a run for his money during final round, as he parred five holes on the back nine to finish only two strokes from victory. Johnson shot a final round score of 69 to finish six under par, as he and Koepka dueled before a rowdy Suffolk Country crowd at The Black Course at Bethpage State Park public golf course.
"He did an unbelievable job putting pressure on me," Koepka said.
While Johnson's near-final round comeback created high drama Sunday, Koepka was the real story. Koepka came into final round play with a stunning seven-stroke lead. Koepka led throughout the tournament, and he became the first player to go wire-to-wire in the PGA Championship since Hal Sutton in 1983.
Koepka's seven stroke lead after the first three rounds was the largest 54-hole lead in the PGA Championship since its 1958 switch to stroke play. The Florida-born professional had to feel good about his chances coming into final round play, as no one had ever lost a seven-stroke lead in 159 years of major championship golf.
But on Sunday, he played as well as poorly as he did all week, mainly due to gusty 20-to-25 mph winds. Koepka started out well on the front nine as he birdied hole 4, a par-5, and then parred holes 5 through 9. He seemed poised to run away with the championship.
But the back nine was a whole different story for Koepka. He encountered some trouble on 11, a par 4 which he bogeyed, having shanked his tee-shot into a sand trap. He then bogeyed hole 12, decreasing his lead to 4 strokes. He then hit his tee-shot on 13, a par five, completely off the green. It took almost 10 minutes to move the crowd out of the way so he could hit his shot back onto the fairway. Koepka eventually bogeyed the hole.
For a moment, it seemed like the greatest collapse in the history of golf actually was imminent. Koepka's lead was shaved from seven to two, thanks to an impressive back nine by Johnson.
Koepka's biggest competition came from the South Carolina-born Johnson, who came into final round play in second place, trailing by those seven strokes. Johnson shot three birdies on the front nine on holes 4, 6 and 9. On the back nine, Johnson parred holes 12, 13 and 14. He then birdied hole 15, for the fourth time in the tournament. Koepka then shot his fourth straight bogey on hole 14, which brought his lead down to a single stroke. The crowd at Bethpage could sense history, and many fans started to chant "DJ! DJ!" while Koepka walked to his ball, the glint of concern in his eyes betraying a consistently stoic demeanor.
But Johnson was done in by a collapse of his own, as he shot a bogey on hole 16, missing a crucial short putt, and another bogey on 17 to eliminate any chance of victory. Koepka calmed down to par holes 15 and 16 to give himself a two stroke lead heading into the final two holes.
The amateur-turned-pro finally closed out Johnson on hole 18. Holding a two shot lead, Koepka hit his tee-shot into the rough, but he rallied to hit a beautiful approach on the green that allowed him to par the hole for the victory. This is Koepka's fourth major championship despite the fact that he's only been a professional golfer for 23 months. He has finished first, second and first in his last three majors.
By finishing as the runner-up Sunday, Johnson became one of the few professional golfers ever to finish as runner-up in all four major tournaments, though he won the 2016 U.S. Open.
"The golf course played extremely difficult. The wind was really, really blowing," Johnson said after Koepka's major win. "I'm very pleased with the way I played today in these conditions and I gave myself a chance."
