The last time I was in Arnold Palmer's office in Latrobe, Pa., I heard it immediately, the unmistakable ring of steel being ground against a buffing wheel.
Gina, his secretary, asked if I wanted coffee with no more thought to the ear-splitting noise than she might give the patter of rain on a roof. It was a normal part of her day, no different than the whir of a printer or Muzak in a lobby.
It was nothing, just Arnold Palmer, arguably the greatest living legend in golf, in his workshop grinding the flange on a wedge.
His office building is an old house that sits on a hill overlooking the gates of the Arnold Palmer Latrobe Country Club just a few feet from the house he and Winnie bought in the 1950s. He and his present wife, Kit, have since built a new home on the same hillside. The original house, an L-shaped ranch with the garage on one side has been added onto so many times it looks like an elementary school. But the office building remains largely unchanged, white with a green awning, not too dissimilar from the cabins beside the 10th fairway at Augusta National.
Unlike the Butler or Eisenhower Cabins, the largest and most prevalent room in the Palmer office complex is the workshop where boxes of grips adorn the corners, and clubheads and shafts are stacked on shelves along the walls.
Arnie probably couldn't find the "on" button on an iPad, but he could lay hands on grip tape and epoxy in seconds. Callaway, the company Mr. Palmer has been associated with for the last decade, sends him components instead of assembled clubs, because they know he's going to change everything out anyway.
When I played golf with him in Latrobe (one of the highlights of a life in the game), he showed up with his own golf cart that had two staff bags strapped to the back. They were full. I casually slipped up and counted, then turned to other player in our group and said, "He's playing with 44 golf clubs."
"Oh, he's taken some out," the guy said. "He normally plays with 60."
He has always been that way: tinkering, tweaking, working on the things that really matter without pretense or fanfare.
When I first traveled to the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, the late Ed Seay and I were looking for Mr. Palmer on Tuesday morning before the event. Nobody knew where he was, until Ed finally said, "Has anyone checked the cart barn?" Sure enough, Arnie was at the workbench sanding brake shoes.
"Sorry, I can't shake your hand," he said to me. "I don't want to get grease on you."
Even at age 83, he still works on the little things. Whether it's reviewing a layout with the architects in his design company or riding out to a tee box with the superintendent to discuss compaction and mowing patterns, he moves a little slower and takes a little longer to gather his thoughts, but he is as active and hardworking as any octogenarian in the country.
The big question is, why? No one deserves to kick up his feet and relax more than Arnold Palmer. He has done more for the professional game than any player in the last century and laid the foundation for the worldwide popularity of what had been an insular, niche sport. Without Arnold, Tiger Woods would be Earl Anthony (the greatest professional bowler of all time, for those of you who just said, "who?").
Why would Mr. Palmer continue to work so hard and care so much?
The answer is so easy that he raises his eyebrows and smiles when the question is even asked.
"I love it," he said. "I love the game."
Sometimes greatness is just that simple.

The Problem
- Presently scientists create static, printed, posters -- which are a graphical, written and mathematical representation of their experiments to present at scientific meetings/conferences.
- The 60x48" posters communicate to peers the important work they have done and are usually used just once then rolled up and stored away
- The information inherent in each poster can and should be archived and leveraged again.

Bishop's 61, Mater Dei Catholic 53
It's said you can't teach speed. Add height to that list.
The Bishop's School had three girls standing 6-1 or taller while Mater Dei Catholic had just one player over 6 feet. Bishop's took full advantage to score a mild upset of the host Crusaders, 61-53, in the section Division IV semifinals Tuesday night.
In the fourth quarter, the Knights (19-11) outscored Mater Dei 20-13 and all but two came from players 6-feet-3. Those points were from Sierra Ducey, who is 6-1. In the second half, Bishop's outscored the Crusaders 35-24, all but five points coming from 6-3 towers Imani Littleton and Devon Roeper.
"Our height was a big advantage," said Littleton, who finished with 23 points and 15 rebounds. "We were able to score most of our points in the post."
Roeper added 20 points, of which 10 came at the free-throw line as Mater Dei's lone 6-footer, USD-bound Alexandria Young, collected her fourth foul less than a minute into the fourth quarter, finishing with 12 points.
It was Bishop's fourth straight semifinal victory over Mater Dei and the fifth in six years, sending the Knights into Friday's championship at SDSU's Viejas Arena against Coastal League nemesis La Jolla Country Day.
"I wish I had that height," said Mater Dei coach David Monroe.

Hi my name is Kristie and I'm writing from New Orleans, LA. My husband and I have 3 dogs that we love like children. We are the founders of an organization called Save-An-Angel; our mission is to help dogs with cancer receive life-saving treatments. We aren't technically a rescue, but we are trying to help out wherever we can.
The shelters in our area have been overflowing since the oil spill - the majority of the tenants are owner surrenders. Louisiana doesn't allow pit-bull adoptions, so most are euthanized unless a rescue pulls them out. We recently started fostering pit-bulls to try and save these amazing dogs.
We are interested in learning more about the breed and how to make their transitions easier. We'd like to know more about the basics too like training, pack behavior, aggression and anything else that will help us communicate better with our dogs. We were referred to PBT by a dear Facebook friend. This forum has brought us into contact with so many wonderful people, and we are grateful finally be a part of it
I look forward to meeting you!
Most Sincerely,

Doctors Less Likely to Offer Fertility Information to Some Women Before Cancer Therapy
A recent study found that premenopausal women diagnosed with cancer are less likely to receive counseling about, or access to, fertility preservation if they belong to certain groups.
The study, published in the journal Cancer, was conducted by researchers at the University of California at San Francisco School of Medicine.
Background and Reason for the Study
Women of reproductive age who have cancer may receive treatment, such as chemotherapy, that can affect future fertility.
In recent years, methods to preserve fertility have improved, allowing some women to freeze eggs or embryos. This makes it possible to protect fertility before treatment begins, rather than seeking help afterward.
Still, very few women—as low as 2 percent in one study—use these services before cancer treatment. Many never even talk with their doctors about fertility issues before therapy begins.
The researchers wanted to find out if socioeconomic and demographic factors were barriers to counseling and use of fertility services.
Study Structure
Using a California state cancer registry, the researchers randomly selected 2,532 women who were between age 18 and 40 at diagnosis and had leukemia, Hodgkin disease, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, breast or gastrointestinal cancer.
Of the 1,041 women who responded to the study survey, 918 (including 223 with breast cancer) reported having treatment that could affect fertility. The survey was available in English and Spanish, online and on paper.
The registry and survey noted factors such as:
- Age at diagnosis
- Year of diagnosis
- Ethnicity
- Income
- Education
- Marital status (single or partnered at diagnosis)
- Sexual orientation
- Urban or rural residence
- Whether the woman had one or more children at diagnosis
- If the woman had wanted to have a child after treatment
Each woman was asked if:
- Her cancer team had counseled her about the fertility risks of treatment
- She pursued fertility preservation under the care of a reproductive endocrinologist, a doctor who is a fertility specialist
Compared to those with other cancers, the women with breast cancer were on average older at diagnosis (36) and when surveyed (47) and further past diagnosis (10.8 years). More (73 percent) had children before treatment.
About 47 percent of women with breast cancer wanted children after treatment, versus 49 to 63 percent of other participants.
Looking at the entire group, the study determined:
- 61 percent had been counseled about treatment risk to fertility
- Women had a higher chance of being counseled if they:
- Were age 35 or younger at diagnosis
- Desired future children at diagnosis
- Had a higher education level (bachelor's degree or above)
- No significant differences in counseling were found by number of children, marital status, household income, ethnicity, sexual orientation or population density
- Women had a higher chance of being counseled if they:
- 4 percent had fertility preservation (freezing eggs, etc.)
- Women who were more likely to pursue fertility preservation were:
- Younger at diagnosis
- Wanted future children at diagnosis
- Childless before diagnosis
- Had higher education level
- Women who were more likely to pursue fertility preservation were:
Few Latinas—and no African-Americans or women who identified as lesbian, bisexual, transgender or other—had fertility preservation. More research is needed to understand why.
Few participants had incomes lower than $30,000. Because household income may influence both access to counseling and use of fertility services, the researchers noted their findings may not accurately reflect differences among groups.
What This Means for You
You might not know whether you want to have children. Yet it's important to know how your treatments might affect your future fertility.
Talk with your providers about your situation. Ask directly about fertility effects, especially if you are in one of the groups this study identified as being less likely to hear about such risks.
If your fertility could be affected by treatment, a reproductive endocrinologist can advise you about fertility preservation before therapy begins. Even if you already had treatment, a reproductive endocrinologist can help you learn your fertility status and find out about methods that might be right for you.
Fertility preservation can be costly and is often not covered by health insurance. Find out what services you might need, then talk with your insurer before beginning fertility treatment.
Adoption is also a good path to parenthood—one that is more open than before to women who have been diagnosed with cancer. Hear more about fertility options and adoption after breast cancer.
JM Letourneau, JF Smith, EE Ebbel et al. Racial, Socioeconomic, and Demographic Disparities in Access to Fertility Preservation in Young Women Diagnosed With Cancer. Cancer, 2012; 118(18): 4579-4588.

- 1. A Biblical Perspective on Humanity's Relationship to the Biosphere
by Craig Idso, Ph.D.
Dr. Idso is the author of several published peer-reviewed scientific articles and books, the most recent of which, The Many Benefits of Atmospheric CO2 Enrichment, details 55 ways in which the modern rise in atmospheric CO2 is benefiting earth's biosphere. He is the CEO of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change.
Stewardship and Sustainable Development in a World of Rising Atmospheric CO2
Summary: Protecting the environment has become a key consideration in almost all that we do; for it is put forth as a self-evident fact that being good to the Earth is the only way to ensure that our children and grandchildren will inherit a world that provides equal or greater opportunities and resources than that in which we now live. But who decides what is right and what is wrong in this regard? For a sizable segment of earth's population, such answers are found in the Bible. Comprised of writings dating back thousands of years, this sacred book serves as an ethical compass for people of numerous faiths. It records historical events that reach back to the world's beginnings, and contains prophetic writings that foretell the world's future. But does the Bible cast any light on society's stewardship role with respect to the environment and the other forms of life with which we share the planet? This question must be seriously considered; for if it does, that light would be incredibly important, as it would have to be acknowledged as coming from God Himself. And who is better qualified to settle differences among earth's many life forms than He who created and placed them here?

- 7. Gilbert, Arizona Scientist Weighs in on Climate Change
Dr. Craig D. Idso is the lead editor and scientist for the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC). In response to the recent hysteria expressed by Senator Barbara Boxer and Secretary of State John Kerry, he wrote and published an Op-Ed in Breitbart titled Dueling Climate Reports.
Dr. Idso has been studying the effects of C02 for several years and updates his website C02 Science with new studies and research on a weekly basis.
In Dueling Climate Reports, he throws cold water on the hotheads who are running around waving their arms in the air.
"To borrow a telling phrase from their report, the UN sees nothing but "death, injury, and disrupted livelihoods" everywhere it looks—as do Senator Boxer, Secretary Kerry, and others. Climate Change Reconsidered II: Biological Impacts demonstrates that life on Earth is not suffering from rising temperatures and atmospheric CO2 levels. Citing reams of real-world data, it offers solid scientific evidence that most plants actually flourish when exposed to both higher temperatures and greater CO2 concentrations. In fact, it demonstrates that the planet's terrestrial biosphere is undergoing a great greening, which is causing deserts to shrink and forests to expand, thereby enlarging and enhancing habitat for wildlife. And much the same story can be told of global warming and atmospheric CO2 enrichment's impacts on terrestrial animals, aquatic life, and human health."
Dr. Idso goes on:Click here to read more

- 9. Record Shattering Spring Cold! Blame it on the progressives
To all the progressives out there who, through your example, have become organic gardeners and nut and berry gatherers—thus reducing your carbon footprint--your efforts to reduce greenhouse gasses are paying off!
Just look around. Record cold temperatures! Stubborn ice and snow in May! In Venice, Berlin, Spain, Italy, Algeria, Slovenia, Pamplona, the Black Sea, Arkansas, eastern Rockies, Dakotas, Minnesota, Arkansas, Anchorage, and today (May 25, 2013) the entire United States of America.
I know. It's hard on you, trying to grow backyard veggies for your family in sub-freezing temperatures, but look at the bright side. The planet appreciates all that you are doing to save it.

- 10. Do those who doubt climate catastrophism lack scientific credibility?
James D. Agresti of Just Facts Daily questioned some assertions recently made by reporter Justin Gillis that scientists have affirmed that reaching the milestone of atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide of 400 parts per million (ppm), up from 288 ppm or by 39% since the dawn of the industrial revolution in the mid-1800s:
• "feels like the inevitable march toward disaster,"
• "we are quickly losing the possibility of keeping the climate below what people thought were possibly tolerable thresholds,"
• "we have failed miserably in tackling this problem,"
• "I feel like the time to do something was yesterday," and
• "It's scary."
What concerned Mr. Agresti was that Mr. Gillis dismissed a lone dissenting voice to these scientists: Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican congressman from California, stating that "climate-change contrarians" have "little scientific credibility."

Matt Harrison could be headed back to Texas for a medical exam after he was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday, when a a Rangers' split squad beat the San Diego Padres 5-2.
Harrison, slated to be the No. 2 starter in the Rangers' rotation behind Yu Darvish, has persistent inflammation in the second toe on his left foot.
Rangers spokesman John Blake said the 27-year-old left-hander will try to throw a bullpen session Sunday and could return to Texas to be examined by orthopedist Dr. John Crates.
"We want to nip this in the bud and find out what we have," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "We've got plenty of time. We'll know where we are when he gets back from the doctor."
Washington had nine pitchers face the Padres. Neil Ramirez and Tanner Scheppers both pitched scoreless innings, starting a six-hitter with eight strikeouts.
Texas first baseman Mitch Moreland also sat out with a tight right quadriceps and is day to day.
Jim Adduci and Brandon Allen hit two-run homers for the Rangers, and Jeff Baker had three hits and an RBI.
Kyle Blanks had a two-run homer for the Padres and is hitting .393 (11 for 28). Blanks, who has two exhibition homers this year, is trying to bounce back from a series of long-term injuries that limited him to 40 games in the last three seasons.
Blanks had right elbow ligament-replacement surgery in 2011 and missed all but 20 games of last year after tearing a labrum in April. He has 88 home runs in parts of seven minor league seasons in the organization.
"Guys like Blanks who are coming back from injuries have to get back on the field and play, and this spring is a great opportunity for them," Padres manager Bud Black said.
San Diego starter Eric Stults allowed three runs - two earned - and five hits in three innings, giving up Allen's long homer to left field. Slated for the back end of the rotation, the 33-year-old left-hander has allowed eight earned runs in seven innings over three outings.
"I felt comfortable throwing to the arm side of the plate and I got a lot of ground balls," Stults said. "The biggest struggle today was glove-side fastballs. I left a couple up, especially that home run to Allen. But overall, today was the best I've felt on the mound."
NOTES: Rangers 3B Mike Olt made back-to-back nice plays to throw out Jesus Guzman and Jedd Gyorko in the second inning. ... With seven players ain the World Baseball Classic and split squads, the Rangers filled their travel roster with minor leaguers.

CR High Pressure Fuel Pump "HPFP" failure FAQ - Updated 2/8/2011
This is the official thread for discussion of the fuel pump failure issue that is affecting a small number of 2009 and 2010 4 cylinder VW TDI engines.
This post should still be considered a "beta" version as of right now and will likely be a living document as more information becomes available on the subject.
This document could not have been possible without the help and contributions of the entire community. A big thanks to user gpshumway for putting together an initial version of this thread and compiling the information into one spot and served as a great aide when making this version. Also a big thank you to all involved in the information discoveries that have been made on this topic.
If you have questions or comments on this post or something you would like to see in here, please PM me directly. The thread will remain locked for the time being to keep it clean and easy to read.
What's all this talk about an HPFP and what does it mean to me?
In the context of this forum, the HPFP refers to the high pressure fuel pump that feeds the common rail in the most current VW TDI engine. It's best to gain an understanding of how the fuel delivery system in the VW Common rail engine works:
Fuel is drawn from the tank via an in-tank lift pump. The lift pump pushes fuel to the fuel filter element where fuel is pushed through the replaceable filter element. Filtered fuel is then sent to an electric intermediate pump, which increases the pressure of the fuel being delivered to the high pressure fuel pump (HPFP). The HPFP is operated by the timing belt and pressurizes fuel being delivered to the common fuel rail which makes high pressure fuel available to all injectors at all times. Pressuers in the accumulator (fuel rail) can reach over 1800 bar / 26,000 PSI.
Does anyone have a good diagram of the VW CR TDI fuel system? If so, please send a PM.
A small number of users have reported that their cars have stopped running without warning. After a tow into the dealership, they are told that the entire fuel system is full of metal flakes and all fuel delivery components must be replaced. Some users are also reporting that they have been told that there is rust in the fuel system, most specifically in the fuel filter canister. In all reported cases it's been confirmed that the high pressure fuel pump has destroyed itself and sent this metal throughout the fuel system
Wow, that sounds bad. That doesn't sound like it's inexpensive to fix..
Unfortunately, the cost of this repair is anywhere between $6,900 and about $10,000 once parts and labor are figured in. Normally the fuel tank is dropped and cleaned (or replaced), the lift pump, fuel filtering system, intermediate pump, high pressure pump, fuel rail, injector plumbing, and injectors along with various other parts are replaced.
Ok, that does sound terrible. It's OK though because VW's got my back, right?
This depends. From user experience posted on this forum it seems that this situation is highly dependent on what dealer you go to. When this issue was first brought to light, the owner was told that there was diesel contaminated with gasoline in his tank which was the cause of the failure and the dealer was trying to put the owner on the hook for this repair. After some arguing and dealing with VW's warranty chain of command, he was able to successfully lobby to get vW to cover this repair.
Since the first report of this issue, other users have experienced similar situations. Some dealers are immediately blaming contaminated fuel, others are covering the damage with few or no questions asked. As of this writing (Late June, 2010) the trend is that more dealers are warranting this situation without hassle. Some still put up a fight, and some still refuse at all to believe there was no driver negligence and flat out refuse to warrant this type of failure. As dealers see this issue multiple times, it would seem that they are becoming more accepting of the fact that the fuel system can fail on its own without outside influence.
How is this caused and what can I do to prevent it?
As of right now, there's no known cause of failure. One member reported a failure of the high pressure fuel pump at 3,100 miles, and another user has reported a failure after 50,000 miles. A few causes have been speculated upon and include:
Water contaminated diesel.
Gasoline contaminated diesel.
Varying quality and lubricity of Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel in North America.
Poor pump design - including mechanical design and metallurgy.
A bad batch of fuel pumps.
Member and "Trusted TDI Guru" Oilhammer has gotten his hands on and has posted pictures of a high pressure fuel pump that has suffered failure. The thread containing this discusion is linked below and should be considered the official "Why are these pumps failing" thread, as it contains the most information on the topic:

Other threads of interest on cause:

2009 2010 CR HPFP Adversely Affected by Lubricity > 460?
Discussion on whether currently available ULSD in America can be leading to premature wear of high pressure fuel pump internals.
HPFP Failure info from Germany
One user who was in Germany states that there was a known bad batch of fuel pumps and that VW maintains a database of VINs of cars with the faulty pump.
Without a good idea of what's causing the issue, there's nothing solid that can be said on prevention. Some of the failure theories don't offer much in the way of prevention, however the theory of low fuel lubricity offers an opportunity to add some type of lubricity increasing additive to your tank. Popular additives are Stanadyne (Available at your VW Parts counter) and Power Service diesel fuel additive (White bottle). Others add a small amount of pure Biodiesel to their tank on each fillup - properly engineered Biodiesel has superior lubricating qualities than its petrodiesel counterpart. VW authorizes the use of Biodiesel in concentrations up to 5% in ALL TDI engines for North America (Rotary injection, PD, and Common Rail).
VW's official position on fuel additives is that they do not endorse the use of additives in the Common Rail TDI, so the use of these additives may have an impact on warranty coverage. Some believe that any way to lower the risk of high pressure fuel pump failure is worth the risk in a warranty situation. Please refer to your owner's manual, your dealer, and VW for official information on the use of additives and Bio fuels.
Use good judgment when choosing a fueling station - buy from stations that tend to have high volume. Keep your fuel receipts in the case that you do have a fuel pump failure that is blamed on fuel contamination, you have proof that you bought Diesel and where you bought it from.
Warning signs
In most cases there was little to no warning signs of a fuel pump failure. The glow plug lamp and the MIL (Check Engine Light) on the dash will light and blink, and the car will run badly or shut down. Engine restart may or may not be possible.
Finding a small amount of small bits of metal in your fuel filter is not a reason for concern, many people have found small amounts of metal and are dieseling on thousands of miles later.
After reading all this, I think I'm going to take a look elsewhere. This TDI thing might not be for me
The common rail TDI engine by VW/Audi is a new design. With new designs and technologies comes growing pains. Keep in mind that Internet forums are full of people reporting issues, however hardly anyone logs on to report that their machine is running well and operating as designed - it's just what we expect so no need for fanfare. As of this writing there have been fewer than 25 first hand accounts of reports. This forum does not claim to have knowledge and first hand accounts of all or even a majority of failures, we do have a fairly large community and these numbers should be representative of the issue, if not a little higher than real-world percentages. The Internet has revolutionized information sharing, and one of the first things we as a society do now is "Google" our troubles. Many reports of failure are by newly registered users who have registered solely for the purpose of reporting their failure. There's nothing wrong with this, however it does lead to the appearance in the forums that failure is rampant and is almost a certainty unless we keep the issue in perspective.
Only you can judge your risk tolerance, so follow your instinct and decide from there. There are users who have been soured by their own experience and the experiences of others and have went so far as to sell their TDIs, and there are other users dieseling on in the '09 and '10 TDIs and loving every mile (or kilometer if you prefer..)

For the last two days I have attempted to use the AccUpdater widget to download
the new updates for my existing modules. In 6 different attempts it has failed.
However in 4 of those attempt the module has finished the download, shown that
it is installing the modules and told me the the download was successful and that
I should now start Accordance. When I start the Accordance and check the module
version it shows that only the older modules are installed. Also, when I go to the module folder
and sort by Date Modified there have been no recent modifications.
I am using an iBook G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11, 1Gb memory 1.42 GHz G4 processor.

I will not be posting the latest modules from the Scholar's Collection for the AccUpdater widget. The widget is not yet working in OS 10.5, and there are so many updated and new modules. We hope that everyone will order the new CD-ROM in order to get their updates. I just haven't gotten round to removing the slightly older modules yet, which is probably why they are downloading for you. Sorry for the hassles, but we are still recovering from the conventions and getting our act together after the holiday.

Today's date (July 28) marks the anniversary of the death of both Antonio Vivaldi and J. S. Bach. Vivaldi died on this date in Vienna in 1741 at the age of 63. Bach died on this date in Leipzig in 1750 at the age of 65. They were two of the giants of the Baroque era.
Music from the Baroque is something that isn't played very much by professional symphony orchestras. The orchestra as we known it wasn't the main musical organization until the era that followed the Baroque… the Classical era… the era of Haydn and Mozart. Haydn's nickname was Papa Haydn and he is considered the father of the symphony.
The Baroque era went from about 1600 to 1750. Baroque music features complex ornamentation and counterpoint. Counterpoint is when a composer writes multiple lines at the same time that are all equally important. In other eras, composers focused more on single melodies with accompaniment of lesser importance and lesser complexity. An example of complex counterpoint is this fugue by Bach:
This season the San Antonio Symphony will play a bit more Baroque music than we have in the past. On the Classics series, we will offer Vivaldi's The Four Seasons on March 22 & 23, 2013. But the big reason for the increase in Baroque music is the addition of a new Baroque series.
The Baroque series will be conducted by Akiko Fujimoto and will include three concerts on Sundays at 7 pm at the San Fernando Cathedral. The concerts will include concerto performances by four SASym musicians. The concerts will be:
November 25, 2012: Christmas Baroque featuring violinist Bonnie Terry
January 20, 2013: Passione: Italian Baroque featuring cellist Kenneth Freudigman
April 21, 2013: Fiesta Baroque featuring violinist Sayaka Okada and oboist Hideaki Okada

New website helps visitors to Cambodia pick their perch for watching sunsets at Angkor
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – Cambodia has joined hands with Australia in an effort to use the Internet to help preserve its fabled Angkor Wat temple complex.
The Australian Embassy announced Thursday that a recently opened website, angkorsunsets.com, will give tourists recommendations for where in the 160-square-mile (400-square-kilometer) complex one can watch spectacular sunsets.
A handful of well-publicized spots from which to watch the setting sun attract too many tourists, endangering the place's physical and aesthetic integrity. The website allows visitors to select several criteria — such as what kind of atmosphere, distance from gate, crowd conditions — to get a recommendation of alternative perches from a listing of 34 vantage points.
Angkor, built between the 9th and 14th centuries, receives about 2 million visitors a year.

Beaches by Iris Rainer Dart
Heartwrenching and funny, this is a story of a friendship between two very different women. One is a loud, outgoing, aspiring actress and the other is shy, meditative homebody. They meet in the 50's, then reunite periodically throughout their lives – at beaches in Florida, California and Hawaii.
Summer Reading by Hilma Wolitzer
Centered around a summer book discussion group in the Hamptons. Young socialites struggle to impress each other and, in the end, are influenced by books such as Madame Bovary and Jane Eyre that are assigned in their book club.
Killer Summer by Lynda Curnyn
Set on New York's Fire Island, three 30-something friends share a house for the summer. Each character is given a chance to narrate and give their own point-of-view, as their plans for a fun escape are derailed when a dead body is found on the beach.

In eighth grade Mr. Chomskey made my class memorize parts of The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. The poem begins:
The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding—
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
I can still hear that click-clack rhythm of hoofs beating in some recess of my memory. For those of you familiar with the poem, the tale of two Revolutionary War era lovers torn asunder by King George's Army, you know that the Highway Man comes to an untimely end on the road in the glow of a midnight moon.
This was my first literary exposure to the danger of transportation, but we all grow up knowing that transportation is an inherently dangerous activity. Transportation will always be dangerous as long as human actors are making decisions about rapid movement and operating fast-moving and heavy vehicles. However, there should be an imperative to make transportation as safe as possible.
Two pieces of news strike this chord. First, Britain has outlawed texting while driving.
Britain's new guidelines state that using a hand-held phone when causing a death will "always make the offense more serious" in terms of punishment and lead to prison time. Texting is given special treatment.
I hope that Britain's action is a lead for federal US legislation. Some states have already begun down this path, but the feds can outlaw texting while driving as easily as they create a national drinking age of 21. Simply connect federal transportation (namely highway) money to laws banning texting while driving. That certainly passes constitutional muster.
Second, Transportation 4 America has reported that 76,000 Americans have died in the last 15 years while walking in or along a street. The FDA wants to ban summer oysters because 15 people (largely people with liver problems) a year die from food poisoning but this nation has yet to take pedestrian and road safety seriously.
This report also analyzes state and regional spending of federal transportation dollars on pedestrian safety, finding that many of the metropolitan areas in greatest need of improvement are spending the least amount on pedestrian safety projects. Nationwide, less than 1.5 percent of funds authorized under the federal transportation law, SAFETEA-LU, have been allocated for projects to improve the safety of walking and bicycling, even though pedestrians comprise 11.8 percent of all traffic deaths and trips made on foot account for almost 9 percent of total trips. SAFETEA-LU created a new safety program and changed regulations to make it easier to use what were once "highway funds" on a wider variety of transportation projects, including public transportation and pedestrian facilities.
At the state and local levels, no state spends more than 5 percent of federal transportation funds on sidewalks, crosswalks, traffic calming, speed humps, multi-use paths, or safety programs for pedestrians or cyclists. This is in spite of a more than 30 percent increase in total federal transportation dollars to states with the passage of SAFETEA-LU in 2005. The 52 largest metro areas averaged annual spending of federal funds on bicycle and pedestrian projects of just $1.39 per person. The average metro area spends 2.2 percent of their federal transportation funds on projects to improve conditions for walking and bicycling.
I'm not really sure when we will wake up to the fact that we are a multi-modal nation and that our culture of depending on cars to get us everywhere actually gets us nowhere. The number of deaths to pedestrians is downright unacceptable. It is a sign that we do not encourage walking enough, that we subsidize driving to an unhealthy degree, and that our development and growth has poorly prioritized the types of communities where people can travel safely without turning on a motor.
Transportation is about getting people from one place to another, and all people should have the right to expect to arrive at their destination safely. That should especially apply to those taking the least dangerous means of conveyance, their feet. Or else we may end up metaphorically like the highwayman:
Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky,
With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high!
Blood-red were his spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat,
When they shot him down on the highway,
Down like a dog on the highway,
And he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat.

The White House received emails from the State Department that said the Islamist militia group Ansar al-Sharia had used social media to claim responsibility for the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi within hours of last month's assault, American officials said Wednesday.
But Ansar al-Sharia disavowed the claim -- which appeared on Facebook and Twitter -- the following day. It was one of many conflicting accounts to emerge in the chaotic hours after the attack in the eastern Libyan city.
When asked about the emails, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said that "posting something on Facebook is not in and of itself evidence" and added that this "underscores how fluid the reporting was at the time, and continued for some time, to be."
The assault, which came on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
The emails, called "op reports," were among hundreds that poured into government agencies that night, officials told NBC News. All of these messages had to be analyzed and assessed before decisions could be made or action taken, officials said.
"These emails are unclassified from the operation center and go to hundreds, if not thousands of people," a White House official told NBC News.
"They basically say: we are under fire," the official said.
Multiple terror groups often claim credit for the same attack, which makes it nearly impossible to draw conclusions immediately from such intelligence reports, officials said.
U.S. officials told NBC News that the public emergence of the emails added little that was new to the understanding of the U.S. response to the attack.
"Intelligence professionals follow the information wherever it leads to build a coherent picture of what's being assessed. Each report is carefully considered and everything credible is used to try to fill in missing pieces of the narrative," a U.S. intelligence official told NBC News.
"The process is dynamic. As new reporting comes in, you review, reassess, and revise as appropriate," the official said.

Victim of 'witch hunt,' or warranted attention?
Mitch Pearlstein and Kim Crockett ("ALEC haters' witch hunt hits home," Aug. 14) characterize the American Legislative Exchange Council as a conservative nonprofit organization, composed of state legislators.
In reality, more than 300 of ALEC's members (and the source of 98 percent of its money) are corporations, paying thousands of dollars for the privilege of sitting in with elected representatives to craft national legislation. These corporate members — ExxonMobil, Pfizer, Wal-Mart, Koch Industries and others — are beholden to their shareholders, not to the American people, and their bills are crafted accordingly.
What Pearlstein and Crockett call a left-wing "drumbeat" against ALEC is simply a small part of the ongoing fight to get money out of politics. Readers should see for themselves at the much-maligned Center For Media and Democracy's website.

It's impossible to be optimistic
An Aug. 15 article about the crisis in Egypt hit the nail on the head ("Arab Spring's hope gets rolled back") when it stated said that the broader problems for much of the Arab world were "fragmented countries, too much population growth, terrible education systems [and] too little water." It might have been added that it will be virtually impossible to find employment to fill the needs of a growing population — no matter who or what form of government is leading the country.
Call me gloom and doom, but under these circumstances, I see no possible solution. It's a no-win situation.

It's the best way to raise people up
No less than a huge icon on the left — Bono, of U2 fame — acknowledged in public remarks the other day that capitalism does far more good for the poverty-stricken than does government aid.
He knows whereof he speaks, having led the charge for greater government assistance from the West in order to reduce the grinding poverty that defines so much of the Third World. Now that so much funding has been forthcoming, he looks at the same poor regions and understands that little or nothing has changed.
In essence, he echoes the wisdom of Benjamin Franklin, who said more than 220 years ago that too much government aid to the poor destroys their spirit. They must ache to improve their lives, spurred by free-market solutions to their joblessness.
If we in Minnesota want to improve the well-being of our seriously disadvantaged, we owe it to them to provide a work and tax environment that encourages entrepreneurs to start new businesses and hire the genuinely motivated now without jobs.
Regrettably, our DFL-controlled Legislature and our DFL governor insist on taxing businesses to fund an always-expanding welfare state. While their motives may be honorable, the results do enormous harm to the people who most need a hand up.

'The Law is the law'?
No, prosecutorial discretion is built in
An Aug. 14 letter writer alludes to something said by John Adams — that we are a nation of laws, not of men — in concluding that it is illegal for Attorney General Eric Holder not to enforce drug laws as written.
The law is patently clear: Prosecutorial discretion is the law, and always has been. The Supreme Court upholds it. In the court's own words, in a ruling striking down several of Arizona's rules regarding immigration, "Removal is a civil matter, and one of its principal features is the broad discretion exercised by immigration officials …"
The cop on the street is allowed to let someone go, with a warning. And the DA is allowed to disregard a silly law. No law forces the executive branch to implement every law.
It is wrong to break the law, but it is worse to insist that we must prosecute everything we find distasteful.

Article cited centrism as if it were a good thing
I read with interest the article comparing Anoka and Dakota Counties ("The tale of two suburban counties," Aug. 14). I happen to think, from what I have read, that Anoka is the better of the two. I don't want a wheelage tax, and I don't want light rail (try carrying four shopping bags full of groceries on a light-rail train).
Did the writer stop to think that Anoka County is doing just what the people want? Why is it so important to have Anoka be just like Dakota County? Why can't Dakota be more like Anoka County? Maybe we in Anoka County do not want our elected officials to work in a centrist, nonpartisan manner.

Sometimes a phrase just means what it says
An Aug. 14 letter denounced as "PC nonsense" the use of the phrase "life partner" instead of "husband" to describe Steve Lawrence in the headline for his wife's obituary. Perhaps the letter writer should direct her complaint to Mr. Lawrence, who, in the article, called Eydie Gorme "my partner in life and on stage for 55 years."

BILLUND, Denmark--If you're a Lego fan like me, visiting this little town in western Denmark is a little like making a religious pilgrimage.
That's obviously an overstatement, but this is the home of Lego, maybe the world's most famous toy, and as part of Road Trip 2011, I got a chance not only to visit the company's headquarters but also to see the production, processing, and packaging of the famous bricks.
The whole process is actually quite simple. Making the bricks involves injecting very hot plastic into a mold and pressing it. Cool it a bit, open the mold, and out drops Lego bricks.
This is from the second part of the process, when bricks and other elements--such as these soon-to-be mini-figures--are finished by adding any additional parts, like legs, arms, and heads, and having anything they need printed on, like a suit and tie.
Please visit the Road Trip 2011 page for all the coverage from CNET reporter Daniel Terdiman's travels through Europe.
This is the reception at Lego's world headquarters. Note the way the ceiling and the chairs make up what appears to be two interlocking Lego bricks.
All Lego bricks are made from the same ABS plastic. It comes to Lego from suppliers and is held in giant silos. Generally it is clear or red, and the color for specific bricks is added at the molding machine. This is a bin full of ABS plastic, with some additional colors mixed in.
This is a cross-section of a Lego brick mold. First, very hot plastic is injected into the mold on the right side. It then spreads through little channels and is then pushed into the press area of the mold through very small slits. When cold water is then flushed through the mold, it cools down the plastic, and the mold opens, allowing the bricks to snap off and drop down onto a belt below.
Currently, there are about 7,000 active molds being used at Lego. All told, it keeps about 9,000 around, with many stored on shelves like this one. The average mold is worth $72,000, with the most valuable coming in around $360,000.
Here, we see where the plastic is injected into the press area of the mold.
Here we see two ellipsoid pieces that have just been pressed, still sitting in the mold. In a second, they will drop off and onto a belt below.
Here we see the mold for the ellipsoid pieces from the previous picture. Note the shape of the mold.
Part of Lego's system is to be as efficient as possible. That means making bricks and other elements that can be used in different ways. These blue pieces can either be used as heads for mini-figures, or as decorations for other pieces.
Thousands of purple Lego bricks sit in a bin, having just been pressed in a mold.
This is one of 12 molding 'modules' located in Billund. Each module, or room, has as many as 64 working molding machines, divided into two aisles of 32 machines each.
Here we see a robot arm inside the molding machine grabbing the waste from the injection and molding process. This plastic will be put into a grinder, and reused almost immediately.
This is a bin full of the waste plastic from each mold.
Almost none of the plastic used in the Lego factory goes to waste, but a very small amount does get spilled. This giant bin is full of spaghetti-like plastic that has hardened and has no use.
These tubes carry ABS plastic into the molding rooms. The sound coming from the pipes is very much like what millions of grains of rice would sound like going through pipes.
A mold is used for about four weeks before it is pulled from the production line and completely cleaned out. Here, we see a Lego worker doing a meticulous cleaning of a mold.
Now in the processing part of the production system, this machine is dropping torsos for mini-figures onto a belt where they will have additional elements like arms and legs and heads added to them.
Here we see a small robot adding hands to a mini-figure.
Here we see the machine stamping on printed details, such as a face, and a shirt.
This display shows the weight of a small bag of Lego bricks known as a pre-pack. The weight must be between 94.9 grams and 95.7 grams. Coming in at 94.94 grams, this back passes muster. However, as the display shows, five bags came in too light, and one was too heavy. But 5,354 were in the target range.
Here we see pre-packs going up a conveyor belt, at the top of which they will be weighed.
Now in the packaging department, most of the bricks are in packs that are dropped into a package automatically. But some of the packs are too big to fit in when dropped that way and must be shaken and flattened manually in order to fit properly.
These are hundreds of flat boxes for Star Wars Lego sets.
This machine presses down into each Star Wars set that passes through to make sure that the packs of Lego bricks inside isn't too high up. If it is too high, the box may not be able to be closed correctly.
Here we see full Star Wars boxes moving down the line.
Here, the machine automatically closes the lid of the box of each Star Wars Lego set.
Here we see full and closed Star Wars Lego set boxes coming off the packaging line.
As the Star Wars sets are finished, this machine grabs two at a time and puts them into cases of six.
Here, a Lego worker has to reach inside the machinery and grab two boxes that have accidentally been spun off the belt.
Each of these cases contains six Star Wars Lego sets.
Shrink-wrapped and ready to go, these cases of Star Wars Lego sets will be shipped to the Czech Republic, where they will be handled by a giant distribution center there operated by DHL for Lego.

Moogerah is located one hour's drive south west of Brisbane via the Cunningham Highway. For a little more scenery, take the route from Ipswich or the Gold Coast through Boonah's countryside.
Just outside Moogerah, you'll find the spectacular Moogerah Peaks and five minutes away to the north-east, lies beautiful Lake Moogerah.
Lake Moogerah is a popular destination for boating, fishing, water-skiing or for having a picnic on the grassy banks. The lake has been stocked with Australian Bass, Golden Perch, Silver Perch, Mary River Cod and Saratoga. You will need a permit to fish but there are no boating restrictions on the lake and two concrete launching ramps are provided.
The Moogerah Peaks were formed from volcanic activity over 22 million years ago and consist of Mt French, Mt Greville, Mt Moon and Mt Edwards. These peaks are popular with bushwalkers and climbers and are known for their challenging terrain. Mt French in particular is internationally renowned for its spectacular cliff faces. The peaks offer bushwalkers a physical challenge and the opportunity to experience their rugged grandeur and extensive views in relative solitude. Vegetation is mostly open eucalypt forest with heath on exposed rock faces and some rainforest in sheltered areas.
The nearby township of Aratula offers coffee shops, a bakery, an antique store, fresh produce and gift ware. In the opposite direction, a short drive to Kalbar, Boonah or Mt Alford will provide you with opportunities to visit country pubs, coffee shops, restaurants and art galleries.
Hotel, motel and caravan park accommodation is available within the area. There is a caravan park at Lake Moogerah and several good camping grounds nearby.
Note: Information on listed products and services are provided by the operator and were correct at the time of publishing.

Tsesis on Antislavery Constitutionalism
Alexander Tsesis, Loyola University of Chicago School of Law, has posted a short essay, Antislavery Constitutionalism. It will appear in the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. Here's the abstract: This is an encyclopedia entry dealing with the various facets of the antislavery movement. It distinguishes the Garrisonian, radical political abolitionist, and moderate antislavery perspectives on ending slavery. The essay quotes and cites original sources to illustrate the groups' core arguments.
