Picking 6 of the greatest golfers of all time is always going to be controversial. Do you base your selection on statistics or major championship victories? How do you compare the great golfers of yesteryear with the modern day greats? In the following selections I have tried to take a wider view, taking into account not only their individual achievements but also their influence on the game. Arnold Palmer and Seve Ballesteros are included as much for their swashbuckling style as for their achievements, helping to make golf the popular sport that it is today. The records of Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus speak for themselves whilst Tom Watson and Ben Hogan succeeded as much through dedication as natural talent. If you were to bet on Golf there are plenty of other worthy contenders but these are my top 6 golfers of all time.
1 Seve Ballesteros
Ballesteros won over 90 international tournaments, including five major championships. He won the British Open Championship three times (1979, 1984 and 1988) and the US Masters twice (1980 and 1983). There are undoubtedly golfers with an even more impressive statistical record but, in terms of natural talent, Seve was surely one of the greatest golfers of all time.
He arrived on the world golfing stage when he finished second in the Open at Royal Birkdale at the age of just 19. His naturally aggressive game together with his incredible ability to improvise made him the most exciting golfer on the European tour. Fifty of his victories came in Europe and he became the driving force behind Europe's resurgence in the Ryder Cup, helping them to five wins as a player and once as captain. His partnership with fellow Spaniard José María Olazábal was the most successful in the history of the competition, scoring 11 wins and two halves in 15 matches. Possibly the proudest moment of his life came when he captained the European side to victory at Valderrama Golf Club in 1997. He also became the ultimate match play golfer, winning the World Match Play Championship five times.
He topped the European Tour Order of Merit six times and won his first Open Championship in 1979. He was famously dubbed "the car park champion" after making a birdie on the 16th despite a wild tee shot. Ballesteros won his last major at Royal Lytham & St Annes in 1988 with a final round of 65 to defeat Nick Price. Ballesteros led the Official World Golf Rankings for a total of 61 weeks between 1986 and 1989. Back injuries sadly took their toll during the 90s and he was never able to recapture the brilliance of his earlier years. Ballesteros tragically died of brain cancer in May 2011 at the age of 54.
2 Tom Watson
In the 1970s and 80s, Watson was one of the leading players in the world. He won eight major championships and topped the US PGA Tour money list five times. His major victories were five British Open championships, two US Masters titles and one US Open title. Only Hogan, Nicklaus, Player, Woods and Hagen recorded more major championship wins. He was in direct competition with Jack Nicklaus for much of his career, defeating him at the 1977 Masters and British Open and the 1982 US Open.
Watson won on his debut in the British Open in 1975, holing a 20-foot putt on the final green to go into a playoff with Jack Newton, eventually winning by one stroke. A similar length of putt was enough to defeat Nicklaus at the Masters in 1977. The two then clashed again in the British Open at Turnberry, both shooting 65 in their third round and duelling for the lead throughout the final day. In the end, Watson prevailed with a 65 to Nicklaus's 66 with a yawning ten-stroke gap back to third place. His victory in the 1982 US Open also came at the expense of Nicklaus, chipping in from off the green on the 17th and making a birdie at the last for a two-stroke victory.
Watson came close to a career grand slam of the four majors when he was beaten by John Mahaffey in a 3-way sudden-death playoff for the USPGA championship in 1978. He so nearly capped a glorious career with a sixth Open when leading the field in 2009, missing an eight-foot putt on the final hole before losing in a playoff to Stewart Cink. Watson has won three Senior British Open Championship titles (2003, 2005 and 2007). He captained the American side to victory in the 1993 Ryder Cup at The Belfry and is set to lead the side again in the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles.
3 Jack Nicklaus
Jack Nicklaus won a record 18 major championships, finishing either second or third on a further 28 occasions. He had 73 career victories, third on the all-time list. His first professional win came in none other than the U.S. Open in 1962. At the age of 26, Nicklaus completed a career grand slam of all four major championships.
In 1971, Nicklaus won his second US PGA plus four additional PGA tournaments including the Tournament of Champions to establish a new single season money record. He then won the first two major championships in 1972, leading throughout for three-stroke victories. He won a total of seven tournaments during 1972, and finished runner-up in a further three PGA Tour events. In the late 70s and throughout the 80s, Nicklaus found himself duelling with Tom Watson. Their tremendous battle at Turnberry in the British Open in 1977 is widely regarded as one of the finest competitions in Open golf history, Watson eventually prevailing by a single stroke.
When Nicklaus won the 1978 Open Championship at St. Andrews he become the only player to have won each major championship three times, a record since matched by Tiger Woods. Nicklaus would set a new scoring record at the 1980 U.S. Open with an aggregate of 272, beating his own previous best of 275. That record stood until Rory McIlroy's 268 in 2011. In the 1980 PGA Championship, Nicklaus won by a record seven shots, his fifth and final victory in the tournament.
One of the most fondly remembered victories of Nicklaus's career came at the Masters in 1986, shooting 30 on the back nine to become the oldest winner in the tournament's history at 46. It was his 18th and final major championship triumph. His career spanned nearly 40 years with 73 top-10 finishes between 1960 and 1998.
4 Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods reached the number one ranking position a year after turning professional in 1996 and dominated world golf throughout the 2000s. He was world number one for more consecutive weeks and total number of weeks than any other player in history. He has won 14 major golf championships and 75 PGA Tour events. He became the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam of all four majors and equalled Jack Nicklaus by winning each Grand Slam event three times.
He won his first major at the US Masters in 1997, becoming the youngest-ever winner of the event. In 2000 Woods won six consecutive tournaments including the US Open, the longest winning streak since 1948. He also broke the record for lowest scoring average in tour history that season. When he won the 2001 Masters at Augusta, he became the first player to hold all four major professional golf titles at the same time. He led the rankings for a record 264 weeks before being displaced by Vijay Singh in 2004. In 2008 he won the US Open despite being missing from the tour for 2 months following knee surgery.
Revelations about his private life caused Woods to leave the tour at the end of 2009 and he returned to competition at the 2010 US Masters, finishing tied for fourth place. Woods did not win a single tournament that year and his world ranking position began to slide. He has since started to rebuild his career and recorded his 73rd PGA Tour win at the Memorial Tournament in June 2012, tying Jack Nicklaus' record for most PGA Tour victories. He eclipsed Nicklaus's record at the AT&T National and is now back at number 2 in the world rankings. The 2013 US Money List reveals that Tiger Woods Betting is still considered a dead cert. Tiger is still favourite for most tournaments he starts.
5 Arnold Palmer
Arnold Palmer was one of the "The Big Three" alongside Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, the players who elevated golf's popularity through television in the 1960's and 1970's. Palmer won his first major championship at the 1958 US Masters and he was the first sportsman signed by pioneering sports agent Mark McCormack. Palmer's appeal included his exciting approach to the game and his easy-going attitude, making him very popular with the growing television audience.
Palmer was persuaded by McCormack that success in the British Open would make him a global superstar and he played in 1960, having already won both the Masters and U.S. Open. He lost by one shot to Kel Nagle but went on to win it in 1961 and 1962. He won the US Masters on four occasions (1958, 1960, 1962 and 1964) and the US Open in 1960.
Between 1960 and 1963, Palmer won 29 PGA tournaments and gained a huge following world wide. By the late 1960s Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player had started to dominate world golf but Palmer won on the PGA Tour every year from 1955 to 1971 inclusive. Palmer played on six Ryder Cup teams and was playing captain in 1963 and non-playing captain in 1975. He was also one of the headline names in establishing the Senior PGA Tour, winning ten events including five senior majors. He also won the first World Match Play Championship, an event originally conceived by McCormack.
6 Ben Hogan
Ben Hogan won nine major championships, level with Gary Player and behind only Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Walter Hagen. He is one of only five golfers to have achieved a career grand slam of all four major championships.
Although he turned professional in 1930, it was ten years before he enjoyed his first pro tournament victory, going on to win three consecutive tournaments in North Carolina. Hogan is remembered for his fierce determination and meticulous attention to detail, making him a formidable adversary. Between 1938 and 1959, Hogan won 63 tournaments despite the interruption of military service in World War II and a near-fatal car accident in 1949. Remarkably, Hogan returned to tournament golf within a year of the accident and was only denied victory by Sam Snead in a playoff for the Los Angeles Open.
He won the British Open at Carnoustie in 1953, one of three majors he won that year. That achievement has still not been surpassed. He was denied the opportunity of winning all four majors because the 1953 PGA Championship overlapped the British Open.

Preparing for battle
WJI sends students into the war zone of American journalism, but it needs your gifts to train its soldiers
PAINT IN YOUR MIND, IF YOU WILL, THE MOST picturesque scene you can conjure up of higher education at work. It may be your own past experience-or just the experience you dreamed of one day but never actually realized. Draw for yourself a magnificent campus (with plenty of ivy); a collection of brilliant, wonderfully educated, widely published (and sometimes slightly eccentric) faculty; just enough students to keep the student-teacher ratio at an enviably low 10:1; and a competent support staff roughly equal in number to the faculty to make sure the classrooms are always warm, the AV equipment is working, transcripts are accurately up-to-date, and the bills paid promptly on time.
And now, let me introduce you to World Journalism Institute.
For starters, you can take away the campus. World Journalism Institute occupies several basement rooms-part of a former warehouse where we slapped a little paint on the walls, some inexpensive carpet on the concrete floors, and some leftover fluorescent light fixtures on the ceilings. The heating and cooling system still doesn't work just right.
And for you to get an accurate picture of WJI, you can also take away the full-time faculty. There just aren't any. WJI has a terrific lineup of teachers-but no full-timers. And no tenure, either.
Please don't take away WJI's support staff. It includes just three people, one of whom is unpaid. The director's wife is an energetic volunteer. His assistant, Kim Collins, is a WJI graduate.
No campus, no resident faculty, just a tiny staff. What kind of school is this?
Ah, but the students. I knew a school headmaster once who always said things would be just great if only he could do away with the students. Not at WJI! World Journalism Institute is all about the students. They come-about 100 strong this year-from diverse settings all over the country. Here's what they bring with them: a Christian commitment, at least a year or two in journalism studies in the college where they're enrolled, and a passion to change the course of typical American journalism. For all of them, WJI is like a highly focused, intense boot camp to sort out a cadre ready to take on the hard stuff.
The "hard stuff" means getting ready to go out into the war zone of American journalism-especially into the daily newspapers of America where secularism, liberalism, and political correctness rule supreme. WJI is here to help the very best of those 100 students who show up each year equip themselves to perform on the terms demanded "out there," but to do so with some gutsy inner equipment of unusual design. It's a lean and mean approach-and it's working.
Credit for WJI's design and unique approach belongs to the school's director, Robert Case-who also makes up 50 percent of the institute's paid staff. Since helping launch WJI in the summer of 1999, Mr. Case has relentlessly sought out what qualifications a young person needs to stand a chance of getting hired by a typical daily newspaper today. And then he has honed the program of WJI to help young men and women develop precisely those credentials.
To do WJI's teaching, Mr. Case has recruited the part-time services of three categories of professionals: From the staff of WORLD magazine itself (and other publications), he regularly uses a dozen creative folks who are not just good journalists, but good teachers as well. From academia, he has discovered a number of Christians (like scholar-writer Nancy Pearcey) who teach in both secular and Christian institutions. And from the profession itself, he has located top journalists from some of the premier newspapers of America.
In three-week courses in New York, Washington, Los Angeles, and other sites, Mr. Case's curriculum helps shape the thinking of his students so that, when they finish, they know both what their secular employers will expect and what it will take to carry a telling Christian influence into those positions. Paid internships and a graduate-level course with WORLD's Marvin Olasky wait for the top performers. And the possibility of someday writing for WORLD itself is high motivation for some of the students. Priya Abraham and John Dawson, both WJI products, write regularly for WORLD.
It's a high-efficiency model. Mr. Case can already point to more than two dozen of his graduates with their bylines appearing regularly in mainstream newspapers, including some with national distribution.
Yet as efficient as it is, WJI takes significant gifts from people like you to operate. Mr. Case and I would like to find 100 people who will commit to giving $5,000 annually for this important project-one donor for each student. Several folks are already giving at that level. But until we find our 100, we need a few with extra commitment to give even bigger amounts, and quite a few to give smaller gifts. Every gift is tax deductible. There's an envelope stuck in this week's WORLD to make it a little easier for you to support someone preparing to do something that's very hard.

Position: Assistant Professor
My research interests focus on the molecular mechanisms of cardiac and muscle development and function. Our work has focused on the transcriptional mechanisms of members of the Pax family of transcription factors that play critical roles in the determination and development of multiple organs and tissues. Pax3 is required for proper heart and muscle development in the mouse, and mutations in PAX3 cause deafness and Waardenburg syndrome in humans. Translocations involving PAX3 cause tumors of muscle. By studying embryonic development, we have identified transcriptional targets of Pax3 and PAX3/FKHR (the oncogenic product of chromosomal translocation) that are critical for development and may promote tumor progression in adults. These include the c-met oncogene and the PDGFalpha receptor. These examples emphasize the potential impact of the study of developmental processes on the understanding of adult human disease.
Other projects involve the use of transgenic technologies in the mouse to correct the congenital heart disorder of Splotch mutant mice, thus demonstrating that Pax3 expression regulated by a 1.9Kb promoter fragment is sufficient to direct outflow tract septation. In addition, we have shown that Pax3 regulates an apoptotic pathway and represses Pax7, a closely related family member. We are also interested in the study of cardiac hypertrophy, using the mouse embryonic heart as a model. We have identified known and novel genes emerging during mid-gestation at the time when contractile function becomes critical. Future studies will involve the analysis of some of these unknown genes through gene targeting studies in the mouse. In addition, we have analyzed the effect of inactivation of the neurofibromatosis gene on cardiac development and have demonstrated that Nf1 is required for the proper regulation of the Ras pathway during valve formation, thus implicating Ras for the first time in this aspect of cardiac development. We believe that analysis of the role of Nf1 in heart formation may serve as a model for the further understanding of the role of Nf1 as a tumor suppressor gene.

NFL to Tackle Untested Chinese Market
By STEPHEN WADE AP Sports Writer
The Associated Press
BEIJING (AP) - Are you ready for some "Mei shi gan lan qiu"? The NFL is intent on finding out if that is indeed the case in China. The league is venturing into untested territory and hoping the country's vast marketplace will respond to its product.
Clearly, there are details to sort out. For one, the language. The sport's vocabulary may resonate from Maine to Maui, but it's a poor fit in Chinese. This, after all, is a country where American football is largely unknown.
"We've had to come up with an entirely new nomenclature for the sport," Gordon Smeaton, an NFL vice president, said Friday during a promotional tour with the New England Patriots. "This is a situation we don't face in any other country and it will take some time."
For the record, in Chinese the game is known as "Mei shi gan lan qiu," which can mean "American-style rugby" or "American-style olive-shaped ball," depending on the translation.
A touchdown is a "da zhen."
The quarterback is the "si fen wei" - the one-fourth position.
And then there are the byzantine rules. New England Patriots tight end Benjamin Watson has been spending a few days trying to explain strategy and tactics to Chinese fans and reporters.
"We need to teach about throwing and catching and some of the rules of the game," Watson said. "About where players line up. The game is almost like a chess match."
Basketball has been played for 100 years in China. Baseball is an oddity, but at least it has roots. The NFL may be the most popular game in the United States, but it arrived in China only a few years ago and is playing catch-up in a country of 1.3 billion with a swelling middle class.
"I think the reason we might be further behind is we're not an Olympic sport," Smeaton said. "The NFL has only been active in China for the last four years. I suppose we are further behind, so we have to work twice as hard."
For now, the NFL is thinking small. It's been sponsoring a school-age flag league involving 5,000 players. An NFL game is shown weekly on China's state-run CCTV. Smeaton said the NFL is about to announce a "much broader distribution of games" in the country. It may also change viewing times and may add more live telecasts. He said the annual Super Bowl telecast drew up to 10 million viewers.
"The audience for the weekly game, we're happy with a couple of million people watching the game," Smeaton said. "That's where we are."
He hinted that the NFL might use China as a market to test new technology. He also talked up online games.
"We see a day in the not too distant future when Korean NFL fans will be on line with Chinese fans in Shanghai, or with Indonesians or with Tokyo."
The NFL's target in China is men, ages 16-30, who have traveled and are interested in foreign cultures. That's as many as 50 million people.
The NFL has sputtered selling American football in Europe, and on Friday folded its developmental league there after 16 years. NFL Europa reportedly was losing about $30 million a season.
Smeaton suggested China would be a moneymaker with TV eventually generating revenue.
"Once we get enough of a fan base, we expect that companies will come on board (as sponsors)," Smeaton said.
The Patriots are ahead of most NFL teams in exploring China. It has a Chinese-language Web site and a director of Chinese business development. The team's replica jersey went on sale this week in China for $90.
"Any league in China would be years and years away," Smeaton said. "The developmental work takes so much time because you have to develop athletes. But you cannot snap your fingers and make that happen."
The NFL is also trying to recover from a minor embarrassment. It planned a preseason game in Beijing in August - between New England and the Seattle Seahawks - but scrapped it on short notice. The NFL said it could not stage that exhibition and the regular-season game between the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants this fall in London.
Playing in Beijing in 2009 is the new target. The game may be held in the new 91,000-seat National Stadium, called the "Bird's Nest," which is going up for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
"This now gives us an opportunity to build a fan base and we have another two years to get prepared," Smeaton said.
Watson said the NFL would benefit from the likes of its own Yao Ming, the Chinese center now starring in the NBA. But, for now, he sees a foundation forming.
"Strategy, teamwork, work ethic - these are all things that are deeply rooted in Chinese tradition," Watson said. "To have a player in the NFL from China, from anywhere, this creates better international relations and obviously a big fan base."
"Everything starts somewhere," he added. "In America, football just didn't start off in the NFL. It started off as a small game that people looked at as kind of crazy. Now it's the most popular game in America."
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Good throw by the si phen wei of the Beijing Boombas.
Next stop will be India.

The Harvard Regiment, also commonly referred to as the 20th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry is so named because most of the officers and private soldiers were Harvard graduates. Ever since graduating from Harvard, and going out into the war that is life, my friends and I would refer to our group as the, "Harvard Regiment." The site will be dedicated to describing my battles in everyday life. As the title of this post indicates, my first battle happened last week and required dust control el paso to essentially save my restaurant from a potential lawsuit.
If you are not familiar with dust control is, it basically consists of different elements we use every day that collect dust such as floor mats, dust mops, etc. that are designed to catch dirt and grime before it enters your business facility. We have a 90,000 square ft facility and are located in El Paso, Texas so as you can imagine dust is everywhere. If you know anything about dust then you know that the EPA mandates businesses like ours to mitigate the production of dust/dirt as much as possible. We were working with a company called International but their customer service has started to drop so we started evaluating different options. The Following was what happened when we reached out to a few companies:
- The first company came with what looked like a spoofed up vacuum cleaner.
- The second thought that we were looking for a housecleaning service.
- The third used illegal immigrants.
We were about to give up and simply keep on using international but we held off another week because the facilities were going to be closed for holiday. When we got back we were contacted by Supreme Laundry & Cleaners who I had taken a suit to for dry cleaning. We talked about our issue, and they laughed, and said that they were actually one of the city's largest dust control companies. I knew they were pretty big into dry cleaning and also owned a few laundromats, but I never would have guessed it. They came by to give us a quote for some new mats and some other equipment, and this is why we decided to give them our business.
From the moment that they arrived, Howard and the rest of the Supreme team were nothing but professionals. They showed up 5 minutes before we had scheduled and did not run over time (a pet peeve) of mine. Unlike many of the other dust control companies we talked to, they were not willing to talk trash about their competitors. They simply said that, "we don't know much about them, so they are not able to speak on their behalf, but what they do know is what they themselves can offer."
Dust Experience
When it comes to dust control, not many people have been in the business very long. It is one thing to simply throw down a couple of mats, and supply mops, but experience allows dust control service companies to understand what areas of your business are vulnerable when it comes to the dust storms that El Paso is known for. In March especially, our equipment gets overrun with dirt and dust, and many times we have to take a half day to clean out the filters.

El Paso Doesn't Play Around
For all of you who have never been to El Paso, you probably doesn't know what it means to be in a dust storm. I think this YouTube video will give you a pretty good idea though. Also, since this is my first post, feel free to contact us for any questions you may have.

HOLMES BEACH – Reversing a previous decision after getting input from their planner, commissioners agreed to continue to allow each half of a duplex to have its own swimming pool.
"We agree with comments made by (Manatee) County Commissioner Carol Whitmore regarding the fact that such a regulation may tend to make two-family structures less attractive to those who wish to reside in the city on a permanent or semi-permanent basis and, therefore, may result in encouraging two-family units to be used primarily for short-term rentals purposes. We also believe that developers will find a way around the regulation," City Planner Bill Brisson said in a memo.
Commissioner Judy Titsworth, who has spearheaded the effort for one pool, agreed with Brisson and said, "We're trying to get residents back."
She asked if they could have different setbacks for new and existing homes.
"I think that would be problematic," City Attorney Patricia Petruff replied. "What is the rational nexus? In October, the commission agreed that a 5-foot setback for pools is adequate.
"To now say for ground level, existing duplexes we'll only require 5, but for homes built according to FEMA regulations, we'll require 10. I'm not seeing how to justify the difference."
Back to the issue
Chair Jean Peelen pointed out that they are addressing the issue of one or two pools, not setbacks, and that a 10-foot setback could eliminate the possibility of a pool on a 50 by 100-foot lot.
"Especially in the R-2 district, most ground level homes are non-conforming," Commissioner David Zaccagnino added. "If they want to put in a pool and doing renovations and have to meet the 10-foot setbacks, they're more likely to tear down the house and build up."
Titsworth said she also wants to limit single-family lots to one pool. She said a neighbor with a large lot demolished a ground-level home and built two homes, each with a pool, because he didn't have enough frontage to subdivide the lot.
"I get that you don't like what happened next door, but I don't know that we can do that," Petruff replied. "What they did was legal in accordance with our current code.
"If you don't like the idea of having more than one house on a lot, just take away the ability to to that. Don't try to go around it with the swimming pool and take way their right to build accessory structures."
Zaccagnino said the problem is in the R-2 district, not the others, and Titsworth agreed to limit her motion to R-2.
Pervious or impervious?
Commissioner Marvin Grossman said he has a problem with an owner filling the yard with pool and deck so there is no landscaping, and he favors a 10-foot setback to allow for more landscaping. He also questioned whether pools should be counted as pervious surface.
Petruff said pools are exempt from the 40 percent impervious surface that is allowed on a lot because they collect stormwater.
"It wouldn't make sense to require them to be counted as coverage in R-2, but not in the other districts," Petruff pointed out. "The LAR will reduce the footprint of the house, leaving more land for accessory structures.
"If you change lot coverage and setbacks, you're piling on a lot of impacts. Before you do that, you need to have an understanding of what it will do to your basic duplex lot."
She said at some point, they will "hit a tipping point and be inundated with Bert Harris lawsuits, where people will say we have unfairly burdened their property."
According to the Bert Harris Act, "When a specific action of a governmental entity has inordinately burdened an existing use of real property or a vested right to a specific use of real property, the property owner of that real property is entitled to relief, which may include compensation for the actual loss to the fair market value of the real property caused by the action of government, as provided in this section."
Getting the facts
"Why are we here? Because of pools, because of noise, because of drainage?" Zaccagnino asked. "We're adding another expensive, new law that won't accomplish the end result and will affect everybody in the city."
Petruff agreed and said, "You're talking about this issue in a vacuum. You don't have the facts you need to make an informed decision.
"You don't know how many houses you have in a particular situation with respect to setbacks. If you enact a new law, you may cause a severe problem."
Peelen stressed that they only are considering duplex lots, and Petruff asked if they change the setback to 10 feet, how could they justify that it's 5 feet everywhere else?
"If we're regulating pools, then what's good for a pool in R-2 is good for a pool in R-1," Petruff said. "If we're regulating something else, let's be honest about what we're regulating."
Mayor Carmel Monti agreed with Petruff and suggested they keep the setback at 5 feet until they can evaluate the impacts of changing it.
Peelen instructed Petruff to 'do it," prompting Petruff to quip, "Lucky for me there's nothing to do."

More from the Obama, Pelosi, Reid Endorsed OWS Protesters: Police Link DNA Left At An Occupy Wall Street Protest To An 8 Year Old Murder of Sarah Fox in New York City (VIDEO)
They are the 99% … hardly, looks like one of those Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Democrat party endorsed Occupy Wall Street protesters is a murderer.
A break in the eight year old, cold case murder of 21 year old Sarah Fox. DNA from a chain left behind at an Occupy Wall Street protest where vandalism took place at the Beverly Road subway station in East Flatbush, NY in March 2012 is a match to DNA left on the murdered Fox's pink CD player.
DNA from a chain left behind after an Occupy Wall Street subway station protest in March gave police the biggest break they've had yet in the 8-year-old murder of a 21-year-old Juilliard student, according to an NBC News 4 exclusive..
Sarah Fox was found naked and strangled in Inwood Hill Park in May 2004. At the time, investigators found DNA left on Fox's pink CD player, which was recovered in the woods near the crime scene.
Police recently found similar DNA on a chain protestors used in March to lock emergency gates at the Beverly Road subway station in East Flatbush.

More from NBC New York.
Sources said Tuesday the DNA found on the CD player matches DNA found on a chain left by Occupy Wall Street protesters at the Beverly Road subway station in East Flatbush on March 28, 2012.
That Wednesday morning, protesters chained open emergency gates and taped up turnstiles in eight subway stations and posted fliers encouraging riders to enter for free.
A "communique" posted online later that day by the "Rank and File Initiative" described the act as a protest against service cuts, fare hikes and transit employees' working conditions.
It was attributed to "teams of activists, many from Occupy Wall Street… with rank and file workers from the Transport Workers Union Local 100 and the Amalgamated Transit Union."

A New Low From the Obama Endorsed OWS … #Occupy Oakland Protest in Support of Child Sex Trafficking
I'm sorry, I must have missed how child sex trafficking is about banking and against the 1%? Child sex trafficking is pretty much universally condemned as one of the most vile, disgusting, reprehensible and immoral acts known to mankind, except by the Occupy Oakland protesters. How could anyone support child sex trafficking?
VIDEO of Occupy Oakland protesters – "Occupiers: All your credibility is lost after antics like that."
On Wednesday, June 13, members of the Occupy movement protested against a conference dedicated to combatting child sex trafficking — thus, the Occupiers in essence were coming out in favor of one of society's most loathsome moral crimes.
The protesters mostly were members of Occupy Oakland Patriarchy, a group within the overall Occupy movement tasked with overthrowing our civilization's "patriarchy."
The conference which so infuriated them was called HEAT Watch, short for the National Human Exploitation And Trafficking Watch Conference.
If there's one issue that unites Americans of all political stripes, it's the sexual enslavement of children. Whatever our opinions on other issues, we all agree that sex trafficking and the prostituting of children is an outrage and a tragedy. Thus, conference attendees included liberal, moderate and conservative politicians; progressive nonprofit organizations; law enforcement groups; religious leaders; and (according to the conference Web site) "social services, medical providers, mental health, education, probation, and
The Gateway Pundit reminds us of Democrat House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's praise of the Occupy protesters, "Bless Them".
Seriously, check out the complete insanity of what has become the Occupy Wall Street movement, courtesy of the Occupy Oakland and all of the pics and videos from ZOMBIE. This is beyond insane and reprehensible. Do these whack jobs have any idea what they are protesting, or worse, do they? SM echoes the outrage of the Lonely Conservative … "These people are nuts. Watch them "bum rush" the conference. Zombie said they also threw paint bombs, eggs and unknown liquids. As if that's supposed to make them sympathetic figures."
UPDATE I: Powerline has a great post on the demise of the Occupy Protest Movement.

Three Chicago Occupiers (#NATO3 ) Brian Church, Jared Chase & Brent Vincent Betterly Arrested On Domestic Terror Charges Ahead Of NATO Protests – Plotted To Firebomb Obama's Campaign HQ, Rahm Emanuel's Home & Shoot Up Police Stations
Yup, they are just like the Tea party …
Three men, Brian Church, Jared Chase & Brent Vincent Betterly (#NATO3 ) have been arrested in Chicago, IL ahead of the NATO protests, and charged with possession of an explosive or incendiary device, conspiracy to commit terrorism and providing material support to terrorism. They allegedly planned to attack four police stations with the Molotov cocktails in hopes of slowing down the police response to the higher-profile attacks accused like that of attacks on President Obama's campaign headquarters, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home.
A band of out-of-state "domestic terrorists" was accused Saturday of planning to attack President Barack Obama's campaign headquarters and Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home — and firebomb police stations and squad cars — declaring that after the NATO Summit "the city will never be the same," police and prosecutors said.
One of the conspirators warned: "The city doesn't know what it's in for," prosecutors said.
But undercover Chicago Police officers infiltrated the group of NATO Summit protesters in recent weeks. They were with the protesters while they allegedly made Molotov cocktails — bottles filled with flammable liquid that are used as firebombs, sources said.
"We have people watching them do it," one law enforcement source told the Chicago Sun-Times.
The trio includes Brian Church, 27, of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; Jared Chase, 24, of Keene, N.H.; and Brent Vincent Betterly, 24, who told police he lives in Massachusetts. Each was ordered held on a $1.5 million bond Saturday.

Occupy Cleveland Anarchists Arrested For Trying to Blow Up Ohio Bridge, Attack NATO Summit in Chicago & Republican Convention
More from the Barack Obama endorsed Occupy movement … Yeah, these folks are just like the Tea Party.
Once again, because the Occupy Protest movement is all about peace and non-violent actions. Sure it is. How many incidents have to occur before it becomes obvious that this is the norm, not the exception. Five individuals associated with Occupy Cleveland arrested for plotting to blow up Ohio bridge and much more …
Douglas Wright, 26, Brandon Baxter, 20, and Anthony Hayne, 35, Conner Stevens, 20 and Joshua Stafford, 23 have been charged with conspiracy and attempted use of explosive materials to damage physical property affecting interstate commerce.
Five anarchist affiliated with the Occupy Cleveland protest movement were arrested by the FBI yesterday for plotting to blow up a Cleveland, Ohio bridge, attacking an upcoming NATO summit in Chicago and the Republican National Convention in Florida. But really, they are a peaceful movement, just ask them. The Occupy Cleveland was forced to cancel their protests.
Occupy Cleveland canceled a scheduled rally Tuesday after a group of men connected to the organization were arrested by the FBI.
In a news release, Occupy Cleveland said the five men arrested in a terror plot to blow up the Route 82 bridge in Brecksville were "in no way representing or acting on behalf of Occupy Cleveland" and Occupy is rooted in non-violent principles.
The five Occupy terrorists have been charged with conspiracy and attempted use of explosive materials to damage physical property affecting interstate commerce. The Occupy Cleveland folks tried to distance themselves, much to no avail. Sorry, but I could only imagine that if this was anyone affiliated with the Tea Party. The MSM would have front page and headline news that they were associated with the right wing Tea Party.
Douglas Wright, 26, Brandon Baxter, 20, and Anthony Hayne, 35, all self-described anarchists, have been charged with conspiracy and attempted use of explosive materials to damage physical property affecting interstate commerce. Two other men Conner Stevens, 20 and Joshua Stafford, 23 were also arrested and may face similar charges.
More at Rush Limbaugh.com.
As we have asked in the past … when is the Justice Department going to deem the Occupy movement a domestic terror organization? Can you only imagine what the reaction would have been if this was anyone involved with the Tea Party?

Because Occupy Wall Street is a Movement of Peace … King 5 Cameraman Assaulted By Occupy Thugs Live on TV in Seattle, WA
More from the Barack Obama and Democrat backed Occupy Wall Street movement …
They claim that the Occupy Wall Street protesters is a movement of peace. Sure it is, of course we know better. While filming the Occupy protesters in Seattle yesterday on May Day, Occupy thugs assaulted King 5 cameraman Richard Departee. Just curious, if a movement is so honorable, why would individuals dress in black and cover their faces?
From KING 5:
A KING 5 News photographer covering the May Day march in downtown Seattle on Tuesday was assaulted by one of the marchers and ended up with a bloody cheek.
Richard Departee was covering the march as the participants made their way through downtown.
"I found myself in with a group (dressed in) black, kinda Gestapo-looking thugs – face masks and dark glasses – I think as soon as they saw me it was like 'Hey get out of here, you know, scum,' and started pushing me," he said.
Departee said he backed off and then three or four of the people turned around and surrounded him and shoved him back.
"Then one guy took his one-inch dowel, a wooden pole with the red flag … he just took it back and popped me in the face," said Departee.
EXIT QUESTION: When is the US Justice Department going to treat the violence in the Occupy movement as domestic terrorism?

More Disrespect from #OWS … Protester Arrested After Climbing On Top of George Washington Statue and Going on Rant … Occupy Protester Dumped Tub of Feces Down Stairwell
They are hardly the 99% … Way to show your class folks!
Brought to you courtesy from the Obama endorsed Occupy Wall Street protests. From Breibart.com comes more of the unruly and disrespectful behavior of the Occupy Wall Street protesters. After spending the night in Zucatti Park one protester was arrested after climbing up on top of the statue of George Washington astride a horse, ranting and stripping off his shirt.
Not to be outdone on the classless meter … an Occupy Wall Street protester dumped a tub of human waste containing feces and urine down a public stairwell and inside a bank vestibule. The incident was caught on a video surveillance camera in Lower Manhattan.
View more videos at: http://nbcnewyork.com.
Police said Occupy Wall Street protesters were captured on surveillance video dragging a large receptacle of human urine and feces to an open-air plaza at the corner of Nassau and Cedar streets last Wednesday evening, just before 8 p.m.
They then poured the waste down a set of stairs there, police said.
About 20 minutes later, one of the protesters entered a Chase ATM vestibule on Water Street and poured human waste inside there, police said.

Woman Raped at Occupy New Haven, Registered Sex Offender England Gamble Arrested
It has happened yet again … a woman is raped at an Occupy protest encampment …
Dateline New Haven, CT, a woman was raped at the Occupy New Haven camp. According to accounts, the the unnamed woman was raped either Monday night or early Tuesday morning in a tent at the Occupy New Haven camp. The victim was brought to Yale-New Haven Hospital. 53 year old England Gamble was arrested and charged with first degree sexual assault and first-degree unlawful restraint. Gamble was a registered sex offender.
A woman was raped in a tent at the Occupy camp late on Monday night or early Tuesday morning, police said.
Police said a woman went to find the victim on Tuesday afternoon because she had not seen her.
She went to the woman's tent and called for her, but there was no answer, so she looked inside the tent and found the woman, police said.
How special, a sex predator who had been previously arrested for first-degree sexual assault and had been released from prison in 1996. Hey, why not hang out at the Barack Obama endorsed Occupy Wall Street.
Just how many rapes are going to happen at the Occupy Wall Street protests camps before individuals are going to figure out that these camps are just a danger to society and should all be shut down. As the Gateway Pundit says … another day, another rape at an Obama endorsed #Occupy camp.

Occupy Wall Street Could Be Broke in Weeks … Socialism Never Works
Barack Obama endorsed Occupy Wall Street could be out of money in mere weeks. As stated at Powerline, #OWS needs a bailout. Who finds it rather ironic and comical that the anti-capitalism protesters need the very thing that they rail against … money? Let this be a lesson as to why socialism does not work. According to reports posted on the group's websitewww.nycga.net, they have only raised $1,556 in a week while spending $14,942. Welcome to economics 101.
New York's Occupy Wall Street group is warning it could run out of money by the end of the month, raising questions about the future of the movement that sparked nationwide protests against economic injustice last year.
Donations to the group have slowed six months after it set up camp in a park near Wall Street, igniting the Occupy movement across the United States.
A report by Occupy Wall Street's accounting group for the week ended March 2 showed it had $44,828 in a general fund in addition to $90,000 set aside to bail protesters out of jail during planned "American Spring" protests.

Three Occupy Oakland Protesters Charged With Robbery and Hate Crimes
Add yet another thing to the list that you have never seen the Tea Party charged with …
More from the Barack Obama endorsed Occupy protest movement … Three Occupy Oakland protesters, Michael Davis, 32, Nneka Crawford, 23, and Randolph Wilkins, 24, have been charged with robbery and hate crimes. The three remain in jail. Bail for Crawford and Wilkins is $105,000 and Davis is being held on $100,000 bail.
Michael Davis, 32, Nneka Crawford, 23, and Randolph Wilkins, 24, all of Oakland, were charged with the felonies by Assistant District Attorney Paul Hora. All remain jailed at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin. Bail for Crawford and Wilkins is $105,000 and Davis is being held on $100,000 bail.
Other possible suspects are being sought by police, said Sgt. Randy Wingate, the lead investigator.
Among the evidence against the three, besides the 42-year-old victim identifying them, is a video of the confrontation taken by a fellow Occupy Oakland protester.
The three Occupy protesters surrounded and taunted the victim before stealing her wallet. NICE. During the course of the crime when the 20 year old victims wallet was taken, the three Occupy Oakland protesters shouted "vulgar epithets regarding their perception of her sexual orientation. According to lead investigator gt. Randy Wingate, other possible suspects are being sought by police. I thought the LEFT and the 99% protesters were supposed to be so liberal minded and open minded?
Three arrested Occupy Oakland protesters – CBS San Francisco
Michael Davis, 32, Nneka Crawford, 23, and Randolph Wilkins, 24, confronted the woman on the streets of Oakland in February after she told them not to riot in her neighborhood, the Oakland Police said in a written release.
"She was surrounded by three protestors and battered as they yelled vulgar epithets regarding their perception of her sexual orientation," Oakland Police spokeswoman Johnna Watson said.
The female victim was not identified except as a 20-year resident of the neighborhood.
"Her wallet was taken during the crime," Watson said. "The victim broke away from the group and called police, who were able to arrest one suspect near the scene."
One of the protesters shot a video of the altercation, which police viewed on the Internet. The VIDEO has since been removed from the internet for obvious reasons as it will become evidence.
So these people are supposed to represent the 99% eh? Not even close.

FBI Warns of Anti-Government Extremists Opposed to Taxes & Regulations Pose a Growing Threat to Local Law Enforcement in United States
How disturbing and irresponsible … Welcome to the Hope and Change that Barack Obama promised.
The FBI warned Monday that anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations pose a growing threat to local law enforcement officers in the United States. Hmm, just who are they pointing at? It sounds an awful lot like the Tea Party doesn't it?
Anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations pose a growing threat to local law enforcement officers in the United States, the FBI warned on Monday.
These extremists, sometimes known as "sovereign citizens," believe they can live outside any type of government authority, FBI agents said at a news conference.
The extremists may refuse to pay taxes, defy government environmental regulations and believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard.
Routine encounters with police can turn violent "at the drop of a hat," said Stuart McArthur, deputy assistant director in the FBI's counterterrorism division.
Remember when Home Land Security (HLS) Janet Napolitano disgracefully called Military Vets are Right Wing Extremists?
The FBI would target concerned citizens doing their duty to question their government and actually want responsible spending and taxes as opposed to an Occupy Wall Street protect movement that has promoted anarchy and violence. Who are the ones assaulting police officers? Oh yea, and #OWS has such kind things to say about local law enforcement. Sick indeed. Welcome America to the "Hope & Change" you were promised.

Petzl tibloc ascender - B01
Carry a couple of TIBLOCS
clipped to your harness on your next multi-pitch
trad climb or glacier crossing. This compact,
one piece, mechanical ascender all but replaces
prussiks for ascending a fixed rope - whether
you are scrapin' your way back to the high
point after a fall or hauling yourself out
of a cravasse. A TIBLOC also works nicely
as a "progress capture" ratchet
in a rescue "Z rig" or for casual
day pack hauling. Use each TIBLOC with an
(big hands) or AM'D
(small hands) locking carabiner for an easy
grab handhold. Once installed on the rope,
actuate the TIBLOC by pressing it against
the rope with your thumb to engage its teeth...
then transfer your weight to the sling or
foot loop connected to the TIBLOC. This
forces the carabiner against the rope and
the rope into the teeth of the TIBLOC to
hold you securely. Instructions and rigging
tips included.

( Treatment Center For Chemical Dependents & Mentally Disturbed )
(mention the name of the person, place, thing, situation, event etc. etc. you wish to send peace. Please make a copy of this for your friend & may one day this song be on the lips of every human being so that we live in peace & harmony)
Remember :
The Beginning :
He was a teacher by profession, but he was an alcoholic. He abused alcohol for nine years and by that time he had done enough damage to himself and to others. Soon he realized that something had to be done and all his efforts to stop drinking failed. His attempt to practice controlled drinking was a disastrous attempt. He used every known and available means, but all were futile. So in desperation he now turned to alcoholics Anonymous in 1983 and received the gift of sobriety.
He then spent the next three years in reviving Alcoholics Anonymous which was dead in the city of Calcutta for almost 20 years. After much initial setbacks, Alcoholics Anonymous took roots in Calcutta and in its suburbs.
June P., the wife of the teacher-alcoholic started Al-Anon and Alateen in 1984 in Calcutta. They also started Narcotics anonymous for drug addicts. Today in Calcutta there are various self-help groups using the 12 steps of AA.
This recovering teacher-alcoholic now realized the need for a treatment center for those who were street dwellers and abandoned or disowned by their families. St. Joseph's Rehabilitation Center thus came into existence
As a sign of gratitude for his own recovery. As an answer to the rampant & monumental menace of alcoholism & drug addiction.
St. Joseph's was the first one that offered and is offering now long term treatment & aftercare facilities in the city of Calcutta & in Eastern India.
Our Vision :
To acquire a plot of land and to build a new center to treat and help not only male addicts but also the female addicts for whom nothing worthwhile is being done. The present center has no facilities for any outdoor activities.
Will some generous soul(s) come forward and make this dream come true.
Objectives :
There is one problem in the world : UNPEACE. There is only one solution for this problem : PEACE. The cause for any addiction, in the final analysis, is unpeace. Addiction is only a symptom.
Therefore the main purpose of the center is to enable each person to go through the process of purification of the mind to experience inner peace through the 'grasping and developing a manner of living' through the practice of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous so that the person becomes once again fully alive, active, responsible and useful.
What is Offered :
* Six months (or more in case may be) live-in-treatment and training program for chemical dependents.
Nine-month live-in treatment and training programme. Counseling programme for family members. One month live-in programme for any one to experience the AA Spirituality. Awareness programmes and workshops on request.
|How to help :
Visit the center often. Speak about the center to others. Pray for the center. Support one person (or more) per person per month Rs. 2000/- only.

The Melba Historical Society presented a lecture this month by Betty Swayne Keith, daughter of Dr. Swayne, who gave a presentation about Walter's Ferry and the Swayne Museum and walking trail located at Walter's Ferry.
Ms. Swayne Keith spoke of the discovery of gold and silver in the Owyhee's. Walter's Ferry crossed the Snake River and was one of the most direct routes between Silver City and Nampa and then from there gold and silver could be taken to the Denver mint. Millions of dollars of minerals were mined from War Eagle Mountain mines near Silver City and transported on the ferry. In 1920 the ferry was replaced with a bridge across the Snake River.
Dr. Swayne later bought the property along the Canyon County side of the river at Walter's Ferry against his banker's advice. Around 1940, a group of nature conservators asked to create a nature trail on the property and Cleo Swayne, Dr. Swayne's wife, added many eclectic items to the trail and museum buildings.

I think Altman and Mac have a lot in common in terms of discipline. P'Allen Stinnett becoming a DI player -
"On the first day of practice, we were working on offense and things kind of broke down," Stinnett said. "I dribbled between my legs to get past my defender. Coach stops practice, saying, 'Whoa, whoa, what was that?' He told me that we don't need any dribbling between the legs and to just run the offense. We laughed about it afterward, but I'll guarantee you, I haven't done it since."

Staff Report
Published April 16, 2013
The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic chose a North Charleston company and several others for a contract worth $49.9 million during its base year, the Department of Defense announced.
Atlas Technologies will compete with nine other companies for task orders associated with the contract, which calls for computer equipment and services associated with command, control, communication, surveillance and reconnaissance systems, among others.
The contract includes options that could increase its value to $249.6 million. Businesses will perform the work worldwide, and SPAWAR expects work to finish by April 2014, though it could continue until April 2018 if all options are exercised.
SPAWAR chose the 10 companies after receiving 21 bids.

Fifty Shades of Grey: Rob Pattinson Was Author's Top Choice — Report
This is quite a big day for Charlie Hunnam, who will be playing Christian Grey in the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey film. But did the book's author actually want Robert Pattinson for the role?
Some Fifty Shades of Grey fanatics were holding out hope that R-Patz would win the role of Christian, and it now sounds like the book's author, E.L. James, was right there with them.
Novelist Bret Easton Ellis says he was recently at a party with E.L., where she confessed that Rob was indeed her top choice. On September 2, Bret tweeted:
Talked to E.L. James at a party over the summer: her first choice for Christian was Rob Pattinson and Matt Bomer was never in the running.— Bret Easton Ellis (@BretEastonEllis) September 2, 2013
Wow! And in news that some of the book's readers might find to be extremely heartbreaking, it sounds as though two fan faves for the part were never really considered. Here's Bret's follow-up tweet:
E.L. James and I were at Rob Pattinson's house when she admitted that Rob was first choice for Christian. Ian Somerhalder never in running.— Bret Easton Ellis (@BretEastonEllis) September 2, 2013
Poor Ian and Matt. But this is especially surprising about Rob, given that E.L. reportedly wanted to distance this movie from the Twilight films by not involving any actors from that series. So does this mean that Rob said no to the role? Or were the other producers and studio execs not in favor of Rob playing Christian?
Either way, it sounds like Rob's loss was Charlie's gain! But do YOU think Rob would have made a better Christian?

Great scientists make great science happen. But clearly they need cutting-edge facilities for ground-breaking scientific research.
And that's what is happening in USC College's Department of Chemistry.
The vision of Executive Vice President and Provost C.L. Max Nikias as described in the USC Biomedical Nanoscience Initiative has become a reality. It is called the Biomolecular and Small Molecule Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Facility — a place where molecule structures are studied on a scale of less than a billionth of a meter.
External funding from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) combined with support from the College and the Provost's Office resulted in a new suite of NMR spectrometers: 600, 500 and two 400 megahertz models.
"The department has outstanding research faculty," said Charles McKenna, chair of chemistry, "But they require advanced instrumentation to stay competitive. These new NMR instruments provide essential, state-of-the-art capabilities that are critical for our research performance. They will also assist us as we continue to recruit the best new faculty in years to come."
McKenna noted that the 600 MHz model will primarily be used to study biological molecules such as proteins, while the other three are for research on small molecules.
"With the new NMR capabilities that we have acquired during the past year, our scientists are able to better see the structure of molecules containing hydrogen, carbon, phosphorus, fluorine and other atoms using highly sophisticated technology," McKenna said.
In fact Travis Williams, assistant professor of chemistry, said: "USC is now probably one of the best campuses in America to be an NMR spectroscopist."
Williams also points out that having this equipment in the College has a two-fold impact. NMR time is inexpensive at USC as compared to most research universities. Therefore, students are encouraged to think outside of the box and test their innovative ideas.
With better scientific tools, Williams' group has published two high-impact papers. One was recently published in American Chemical Society, a top journal for the chemical sciences.
Another ongoing chemistry acquisition, which will have a profound impact in producing extraordinary molecular science at USC, is a $1 million pulse EPR-ENDOR spectrometer to measure electron spin resonance. By contrast, NMR spectrometers measure nuclear spin resonance.
Funded by an NIH stimulus grant to the chemistry department with support from the College and Provost's Office, this machine will permit chemists and biologists in the College and the Keck School of Medicine of USC, and at the California Institute of Technology to investigate problems ranging from the molecular basis of virus infections and cardiovascular events to the function of DNA repair in cancer and the mechanism of N2 fixation.
Professors of chemistry Mark Thompson, Richard Roberts, Kyung Jung and Peter Qin took the lead in joining McKenna and other faculty participants to contribute the time and expertise required for the rigorous proposal writing process, which resulted in the four major government grants awarded to fund the new NMR and EPR instruments.

this is my first post, so by way of introduction I can tell
you I've been commuting to work (30 minute ride) for
a few months and have liked it from the start.
having got this far I've developed an interest in getting
healthier, eating better - all the things my wife has
been trying to tell me about for the last 20 yrs!!
I got a HRM the other day and discover I spend 98%
of my ride between 70% and 85% of the maximum
heart rate (according to the manual). So that's about
an hour a day in total. Is this OK or am I pushing too hard?
Thanks for any advice you might have for someone just
starting out at 51

On April 11, the DPJ Siberia parliamentary league (led by Acting Chair Eiko Ishige; comprised of 239 Diet members addressing the issues of postwar Japanese detainees) held its fourth general meeting in the Diet. Over the course of a discussion with representatives of the ministries concerned with detainee issues, league members asked questions and exchanged opinions on two government actions: the provision of special benefits for the detainees (the application period for this ended in March 2012), and investigations to grasp a precise picture of the situation of detainees in Siberia.
Both government actions were realized after the DPJ became the ruling party. They are based on "Special Measure for Siberia" (an act on special measures concerning the issues of Japanese postwar detainees), a private members' bill, which was enacted on June 16, 2010. It was reported that thanks to the efforts made by related organizations, 67,000 benefit applications totalling up to 19 billion yen in benefits have been registered, an amount exceeding initial expectations. In addition, the meeting was informed that the budget for the investigations, which is based on Article 13 of "Special Measure for Siberia," was allocated to be 1.8 times more than the original plan thanks to the league's continuous requests to the Ministry of Finance. In line with league policy, participants agreed to make a fresh start toward building new consolidations and cooperative relationships with non-governmental organizations.
With postwar detainees having reached advanced ages and some having already passed away, the investigation is expected to reveal the facts of the detention situation in Siberia as soon as possible. To this end, a non-governmental organization is now scheduled to examine approximately 200,000 pages of newly discovered records from a Soviet military convoy.
The meeting was also attended by members of an association of former Japanese detainees which ended its activities last year along with the enactment of the "Special Measure for Siberia." The members reviewed their years of fighting on this issue, including the sit-in rallies they held in front of the Diet, and expressed gratitude for being able to recover their honour thanks to the change of government. They also expressed a strong desire for investigations and the clarification of the detention situation in Siberia at the earliest possible stage. The parliamentary league assured the group that league members will keep an eye on the investigations of both government and non-governmental organizations, making proposals and giving support as necessary."

Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth Fighting Over Her Sexy Image: Report
Miley has been turning heads lately with her sexy new look, especially in her racy "We Can't Stop" music video, but fiance Liam Hemsworth isn't happy with it, according to Hollywood Life.
"They've had a lot of fights about it," a source says about Miley's sexy image.
"Miley doesn't think Liam has any right to tell her to tone it down," the source continues. "He plays different characters for his career, and this is the character she's playing right now for her career."
Sources reveal that the couple's arguments have been intense about this point, leading Miley to agree to a compromise.
"She has made some adjustments because she wants to keep the peace," the insider reveals. "It might not look like it, but she toned down a lot of stuff in her 'We Can't Stop' video. It's a hard line to walk because she's trying to be respectful to Liam but also be true to herself as an artist."
Miley and Liam have been the center of break-up rumors quite a bit this year, so we're hoping that they'll manage to survive this latest rumor as well.
Frankly, we think the "We Can't Stop" video is all kinds of amazing, and we wouldn't have changed a thing about it.
After all, who wouldn't want to bust open a piñata full of hot dogs?

I always listen to her thoughts and am very understanding and allow her to do things important to her. what should i do? i don't want her to slip away as just a friend she means so much to me.

Thanks for your question. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I'd like to help you out.
I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through with your girlfriend. It sounds like you have honestly done your best to be understanding about her need time to do things that are important to her, so I can definitely understand your frustration that she is saying that she needs this break anyway.
Usually when someone says that they needs a break or need space, the best thing to do is to give them that space. The risk in not giving her space has the potential to do exactly what you said as far as putting pressure on her and driving her away. I can certainly understand that you wouldn't want her to slip away. Sometimes by showing her that you respect her wishes and give her the break, it can actually prevent her from slipping away much more than if you were to push her to try and work this out now.
From what you've described it sounds like the break may necessarily have anything to do with your relationship if she is still struggling with some personal issues of her own. If that's the case, then probably the best thing that you can do is to continue to be patient and supportive. Otherwise this is a tough situation because it does seem largely out of your hands, and it is something that she may need to work through on her own. I would recommend trying to give her the space she needs, but also keeping the lines of communication open periodically just to touch base and let her know that you are still there to support her and help her in any way that you can if she needs you. The hope would be that by hanging in there and respecting her wishes, she will be comfortable, not pressured, and better able to work things out with you.
I definitely wish you the best and hope that this has been helpful. If there's anything else I can do to help just let me know.

Thanks Ryan for your advise.
Just one thing that I am unsure of, we are still seeing each other to do things mostly I help her with playing squash. When we see each other now it is a bit strange as the rules have changed it is more as friends no kissing afterwards to say good bye small things like that. I asked her last night after a game about it saying what do you want from this break? she said she doesn't know, its better than not seeing each other at all. I have said prior I wont organise anything but I am around if she wants to doing what ever. thus far she hasn't organised anything which i am fine with. The things we are currently doing where organised before the break. Do you think this is a good thing that she is still seeing me in this respect as more of friend figure or is it detrimental to our relationship?
Ryan LCSW
replied 3 years ago.
No problem, I want to make sure I help you out, so thanks for your response.
I can definitely see how you'd be unsure of this current arrangement. Knowing that she needs a break, in a lot of ways it can be a good thing to somewhat backtrack in the relationship to more of a friendship level, and in that way it can take a lot of the pressure off of her and the relationship. If the romantic interest is there, it's not going to disappear just because you are only seeing each other as friends now. I would think that as long as she is comfortable with the amount of contact that you're having, then maintaining a friendship isn't anything to be overly concerned about, and it can also help to keep you fresh in her mind.
It sounds like you are doing a good job of being there for her but not pushing her to organize anything more than what you are already doing together. At some point it may start to become unfair to you if she continues to want this break, but is unable to give you any explanation or idea of when this is going to be over. For now though it does seem like you're handling it as best as you could be, and hopefully she sees that too and appreciates your restraint.

Walking where 'the stones breathe'
That would be the Colorado National Monument, an amazing plateau-and-canyon area of 32 square miles that rises up seemingly from nowhere some 20 miles west of Grand Junction. We were there a week ago, driving the 23 miles of snaking roads build in the 1930s by laborers in a Depression work program and hiking the newer paths to one spectacular point after another—any one of which would have been amazement enough for one day.
We also spent 12 minutes incide the visitors' center to see an excellent, animated film that tells the stories of the thousand million years of geological activity that have passed since the mass of black rock that forms the base of this area. Astonishing, in its own, academic way.
And then I read in a brochure about John Otto, the man who first encountered this area on horseback a century ago. "I found these canyons, and they felt like the heart of the world to me," he wrote. And then he urged the people of the then-new town of Grand Junction to join him in a campaign for national park status—and protection—for the place, where, he said, "the stones breathe." In 1911 the area was established as Colorado National Monument, and Otto was named caretaker, a job which paid him $1 a month.
This time away from my desk and computer came soon after we finished the October issue, with its cover story on "Looking for God in the creation of the universe." Included, of course, was the discussion dating the age of the Earth—6,000 years or 4.6 billion? Article author Mark Hollabaugh wrote, "I rather like the idea of a God who allows the universe to some into being, create itself and everything in it—and evolve."
I thought of those words and of Otto's, too, as I stood in wonder and awe and appreciation here where I, too, heard the stones breathe their alleluias.
