But what about the team's No. 2 cornerback,
Brown quietly stepped back into the starting lineup for injured starter
READ: Willis Discusses Postseason Run
It's been a turbulent season for Brown, who suffered a rib injury in a Week 11 loss to the New Orleans Saints and was replaced in the starting lineup by emerging fourth-year pro
Brown didn't sulk about his demotion when he returned to the field four weeks later against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team-first cornerback worked his way back into action as San Francisco's No. 3 cornerback in nickel situations. Brown maintained his perimeter coverage responsibilities against multi-receiver formations.
He also thrived.
Brown recorded three tackles and a pass breakup over Green Bay. The pass deflection was perhaps one of most pivotal defensive plays of the game. Rodgers launched a 40-yard deep ball to Jordy Nelson, but Brown leaped up and swatted the ball down.
"It's what I expect of myself," Brown said of the play and his performance. "It felt good."
Brown's play-making effort and professionalism has not been forgotten by his teammates.
"We have tremendous respect for Tarell," strong safety
Whitner and the rest of the defensive unit admire the way Brown has dealt with his injury and new role on the team.
"You never hear him say anything about that," Whitner added. "He's a guy who's here. He's one of the first guys in every morning and one of the last guys to leave. Always working, so I hope good things happen for him."
Brown could very well be in line for another start this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Divisional Playoff round.
Rogers has not practiced this week and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio was adamant that the veteran cornerback would have to practice this week in order to play against the Panthers.

"He's still hurt a little bit, but he's much better than last week," Fangio said of Rogers, who had a streak of 53 consecutive starts with the 49ers snapped last week.
"I'm steadily progressing," Rogers said. "We'll see… This is something I haven't experienced, so I'm going by feel."
If Rogers misses a second straight game, Fangio is confident with the starting duo of Brock and Brown as San Francisco's top cornerbacks against Carolina.
"They played well," the 49ers coordinator said. "Any time you go against that passing attack with that quarterback and the footing the way it was which is certainly to the offense's advantage, I thought they played extremely well."
Brown remains confident in his performance and has never changed his preparation routine. He's just looking to continue contributing in any way possible.
"I think the biggest thing for us is to stay consistent and keep it going," Brown said. "Now, it's win or go home and we don't want to go home. That's what we're here to do. You want to make it to the postseason – that was one of the team goals. We did that, let's keep it rolling."

Two goals in shootout carry Wild to win
Published 11:20 pm, Friday, January 24, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — The Iowa Wild outlasted the Rampage 5-4 in a shootout in front of 8,079 fans at the AT&T Center on Friday night.
It was the third straight game in the season series between the clubs that has been resolved with a shootout, with the Wild winning twice.
The game featured peaks and valleys, with long stretches of relative inactivity punctuated with brief bursts of pucks bending the twine.
The teams traded goals within 90 seconds of each other in the first period, with Wade Megan turning a Wild turnover into paydirt with his fifth of the season at 4:45 of the first after an early Iowa marker.

The Wild led 2-1 in the second and didn't get their first shot on net until the 12-minute mark of the period when suddenly three goals were scored in another 90-second span.
Colby Robak tied the score on a one-timer form the right point at 18:09 just after an Iowa penalty expired. It was his 100th point in his AHL career.
"Get pucks to the net, let them crash and bang and hopefully one goes in," said Robak, a former second-round pick of the Florida Panthers, about the Rampage's strategy.
But Jonathan Blum scored 51 seconds later on a tip-in over San Antonio's Jacob Markstrom for a brief Iowa lead before Rampage newcomer Ryan Martindale knotted the score with just 23 seconds left in the period.
The Rampage grabbed their only lead of the game early in the third when John McFarland scored from a tough angle on the right wing across the crease and into the far side of the net at 3:31.
But the Wild responded at 9:42 when Mickey Lang hustled down the right side and sent one in over Markstrom's left shoulder.
"I liked the effort. We had lots of chances," said Rampage coach Tom Rowe as San Antonio outshot Iowa 39-26 overall and 26-11 over the first two periods. "We have to just bury the chances we get."
The Rampage's Bobby Butler scored the only San Antonio shootout goal on the second shot, but Iowa's Zach Phillips and Jake Dowell won it for the Wild.
"We talked about throwing pucks at the net, keeping it simple," explained Rowe. "I think we did a pretty good job of that."
Notebook: The Rampage reassigned defenseman Josh McFadden to the club's ECHL affiliate, the Cincinnati Cyclones. McFadden, 22, skated in one game with the Rampage after his most recent recall on Jan. 16.

accessibility & help
23 June 2009
As tens of thousands of partygoers make their way to the Glastonbury festival, one intrepid Red Cross volunteer team is on standby to deal with any emergencies or injuries that may arise.
Over the course of the Glastonbury weekend (25-29 June), literally tens of thousands of festival-goers pass through the tiny Castle Cary train station, inevitably bringing with them all kinds of injuries and upsets.
But luckily, there's always a Red Cross first aid team – equipped with a first aid marquee and ambulance – waiting to help out.
According to Graham Kerridge, service manager: "For the past four years there has been some kind of major incident and I wouldn't be surprised if something happens again this week. But that's what we're here for."
Last year, a fire at a nearby car scrap-yard blocked nearby roads, leaving up to 1,000 people stranded in the baking sun at the station. A team of eight tireless volunteers spent hours providing bottled water, first aid and emotional support to hundreds of music fans. The last bus didn't leave until midnight.
Graham added: "It's usually okay when people arrive. Our work really begins when they return four days later – hungry, tired and festivalled out. If it's wet, people tend to be under-dressed, suffering from exposure and a little traumatised. If it's hot, then we'll see cases of sunstroke and heat exhaustion, along with the usual cuts and bruises."
Despite the challenges, Glastonbury remains a perennial favourite with the Red Cross volunteers. As Graham put it: "Obviously, we all look forward to being directly involved in one of the highlights of the event year. The festival-goers are generally a great bunch of people and it's good to know that we're on hand to help out anyone who needs us." More about our emergency response work

Creepy , yet a good shot!.
ooo, neato. where is this and how long do you think it has been abandoned? when it was first loading i thought it was an old old scene, but ther are modern bits as well. love the DOF too.
Serra da Canastra, MG, Brazil. I spent a week there camping and found this house in the middle of nowhere while I was hiking.
I'd say it has been abandoned for around 10 years, maybe more. It was REALLY dirty (there were no insects though, just a few bats that flew away when I kicked the door open). Except for some clothes and other stuff on the floor, everything was kind of "in place". Nothing stolen, broken or anything like that. It seemed like the family (there was some kid school books and drawings too) left in a real hurry or some kind of tragedy happened. When I first entered the house I was expecting to find a corpse :shock::shock:
Thanks for the feedback, guys.
Well I gues there was no vandalisim or anything broken or stolen till you "kicked in the door" I am sue that will change soon enough. I think the image is nice enough but the scene is a little too set up.
I think I didn't cause any damage because the door wasn't locked, just jammed (probably the wind). When I left I closed the door as hard as I could to "jam it again".
And yeah, I didn't find the table this way. I put the stuff on the table and changed the position of the chair a bit. I don't like doing this but I suddenly had the idea of a photo like this and couldn't resist doing it :mrgreen:
very nice exposure!

So Digital Foundry has do what they do best and has examined Diablo 3 running on the Xbox One. As promised it does run at 1080p on the Xbox One and with the latest patches it resolves a couple of issues.
Graphically, it looks pretty much identical to the PlayStation 4 version, but may lack some granular level sharpness, but it isn't really noticeable. The 1080p performance is better than the 900p performance that Microsoft found unacceptable and worked with Blizzard to make sure that the Xbox One version ran at 1080p.
The bigger question that Digital Foundry answers is if you can raise the resolution from 900p to 1080p and get the frame rate performance of 60fps that was expected. The answer really comes as little surprise. The 1080p resolution on the Xbox One does run normally at 60fps, but in extreme combat situations where there is a lot going on, it does dip to frame rates in the low 50s. This comes from an examination by Digital Foundry of over 1200 frames by hand.
Despite slight dip in frame rate, it does not make the game any less enjoyable to play and that is the point after all.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Full Journey is the third offering in the "Full Journey" re-releases of the Star Trek television series. The Region 2-only DVD box set is essentially a repackaging of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Complete Collection, the previously marketed complete box set edition, but includes an extra disc containing additional extra features.
The box set was re-released in the UK in 2014 with the same contents in different packaging. The 2011 release contained all of the discs in fold-out cardboard cases with slots for each disc, whereas the 2014 release housed all the discs across three large plastic Amaray cases.
The DVD market is for Region 2 further subdivided into language-related regions, each with their own manufacturers, who have a certain leeway regarding release policies such as whether to release a product at all in the relevant language area and in what form it is released. In the majority of the cases, when a product is released, packaging differences are limited to leaving out or changing the rating logos of the UK edition and/or translating accompanying texts in the relevant languages. In the case of Deep Space Nine - The Full Journey, the producers of the Danish edition (serving the whole Scandinavian market) opted to change the box art of the release and change the sub-caption to "The Complete Box". [1]
The episodes on the discs, and their arrangement among them, are identical to the DS9 season box-sets.
Please refer to the following pages for the discs' episode arrangement.

Umpire Angel Hernandez smoked by line drive, fans cheers his despair
Given their sometimes inconvenient positioning on the field, it's almost inevitable that an umpire will find himself in the line of fire and at some point wear a line drive. Unfortunately for veteran Angel Hernandez that moment came during Friday night's game between the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves at Turner Field.
As the second base umpire, Hernandez was positioned on the infield grass to the first base side of the bag in case of a stolen base attempt. It's basically the prime position for a field umpire to get hit, because he's the closest to the plate he'll be the entire game and he's wide open on the field of play. Sure enough, Nate McLouth smoked one that was ticketed for right center field but ended up clipping Hernandez's left ankle.
It was a bad break for the Nationals. With Bryce Harper in motion, he would have easily advanced to third if the ball made it through. It didn't, and since the umpires are considered in play the play continued unimpeded, meaning he was stuck at second base.
You could also say it was a nice break for the Braves, which may explain why some fans broke out in cheers.
Umpire Angel Hernandez gets hit with a line drive. Braves crowd cheers...
— Brannon Evans (@BrannonEvans) April 12, 2014
Of course, another theory going around is that Hernandez's reputation as a controversial umpire — see the botched home run review in Cleveland last season — precedes him, and the smug manner in which he handles his on field confrontations hasn't endeared him to managers, players or fans alike. In other words, the fans were just happy to see Hernandez get lit up by a liner.
It's entirely possible, because it was just last season that retired Braves legend Chipper Jones encouraged fans to boycott games umpired by Hernandez based on his track record. A boycott is tough to coordinate ahead of time, but it's definitely easy to boo or cheer him when you know he's in the stadium.
Not that fans have ever have been shy about expressing their opinions on Hernandez regardless of location.
With Angel Hernandez getting drilled, this was a night that all baseball fans were winners.
— Cochese (@TheCochese) April 12, 2014
To put it simply, if baseball gods really do exist, some prayers were probably answered in Atlanta. Hernandez wasn't injured. Chances are he wasn't humbled. But it wasn't a comfortable night at the office.

The original Nvidia Shield was a decidedly niche product. An awkwardly large controller with a 5-inch 720p display hinged on top, it was a showcase for the Tegra 4 processor, and a neat way to stream PC games, but the shape and cost ($349 at launch) kept it from being useful for much else.
Now Nvidia is back for an encore with the Shield Tablet, and it definitely seems like it's not destined to be a niche product anymore. While the new Shield is aimed at gamers, the new tablet form factor makes it useful for a lot more than just games. And with attractive pricing (starting at $300) and powerful hardware, it might just be one of the best tablets of the year.
I recently got a little hands-on time with the almost-finished product ahead of its July 29 release, and came away impressed. Nvidia's new tablet won't be the right choice for absolutely everyone, but it should please gamers while appealing to a much broader audience.
A showcase for the Tegra K1
You'd expect a gaming-focused tablet to have high-end hardware, and the Shield Tablet certainly takes that to heart. It's a showcase for the Tegra K1 with 2GB of RAM. This is the version with four ARM Cortex A15 CPU cores, not the dual-core 64-bit "Project Denver" version, which we still haven't seen yet. Nvidia's chip brings the company's "Kepler" graphics architecture to a mobile ARM system-on-chip (SoC). That means very powerful graphics hardware and the same overall feature set as modern PC graphics cards.
In my limited time handling the tablet, everything felt snappy and responsive, as you'd expect. Games and apps ran smoothly and launched quickly. Frankly, getting a real firm grip on how the performance stacks up against other tablets is the kind of thing best left for a more in-depth examination, but nothing ever felt at all sluggish.
A push for high-end hardware doesn't begin and end at the SoC, though. A tablet is much more, and Nvidia spent some time making sure the rest of the device is really gaming-worthy. The 8-inch IPS LCD display features a resolution of 1920x1200. That's 283 pixels per inch, maybe a little low compared to today's premium tablets, but color accuracy and viewing angles looked really good, and it's a good target resolution for gaming. It strikes a good compromise between sharpness and graphics performance.
The tablet itself is a little bit on the thick side, but not especially heavy. At 390 grams, it's just a little heavier than the iPad mini, but not so much that you really notice. Nvidia will sell a $40 cover that attaches magnetically and doubles as a stand to hold the tablet up at a good angle for playing games with the controller, or watching video.
Both the front and back cameras are 5 megapixels, though I didn't get a good sense of their overall quality in Nvidia's poorly-lit demo setup. Stereo front-facing speakers sit on the left and right of the screen in landscape orientation, and they pump out pretty impressive sound. The Wi-Fi radio is quite robust (2x2 MIMO, 2.4 and 5GHz, up to 802.11n), a must for making the most of Nvidia's GameStream technology, which lets you play a growing number of PC games remotely on your Shield device (provided your gaming PC has a modern Nvidia graphics card, of course).
There's a built-in stylus, which Nvidia claims is twice as responsive as that in the Tegra Note 7. I can't speak to whether that is accurate, but in my brief time with it, it felt quite good, with minimal lag and impressive accuracy. The 19.75 watt-hour battery should provide about 10 hours of video playback, according to Nvidia, and comparable gaming time to the original Shield handheld console.
The tablet launches in the U.S. on July 29, in Europe on August 14, and in other regions in the fall. At launch, only a 16GB Wi-Fi version of the tablet will be available, priced at $300. Within a couple months, Nvidia will introduce a $400 version with 32GB of storage and 4G LTE, supporting AT&T and T-Mobile carrier bands in the U.S.
What about a controller?
Tablets are great, but if you want to stream a PC game through GameStream, or play one of those Shield-enhanced controller-supporting Android games, you're going to want buttons and sticks. So, the Shield Tablet is accompanied by an optional $60 Shield controller. It feels a little better than the original Shield console, but is still slighly too bulky, and the tension on the sticks is too tight.
The tablet supports up to four controllers at once, so when you plug it into your TV (via the mini HDMI port), you can have a "console experience" playing couch co-op games. To minimize latency and increase bandwidth, Nvidia is using Wi-Fi Direct instead of bluetooth. It works: the controller is fast and responsive. I played Grid 2 streamed from a gaming laptop on the local network to a Shield Tablet plugged into a TV. The visuals were sharp with almost no visible compression artifacts, and there was very little input latency. It was almost, but not quite, like having a PC with a wireless controller hooked up directly to the TV.
It's got a few other neat tricks up its sleeve. There are volume buttons and basic Android controls (Back, Home) on the controller, and an integrated microphone, so you can operate the tablet from across the room entirely using the controller. "OK Google, Launch Netflix" works just as it does with Google Now on any device, only you're talking into the controller, so you can operate the tablet when it's plugged into your TV across the room.
There's a headset jack in the controller, too: plug in a headset, and the stereo sound and microphone are disabled on the tablet and piped through the wireless controller.

Perhaps the coolest trick of the Shield Tablet is its ability to stream games to Twitch. It's a first for an Android device (the Twitch app is for watching, not broadcasting). Virtually anything you put on the screen, whether it's an Android game, video playback, or a PC game played remotely via GameStream. The 5 megapixel front-facing camera can give you that little picture-in-picture effect, so your Twitch viewers can see you in the corner if your stream, getting your game on.
Streaming to Twitch is very easy. Just hold down the back button for a couple seconds and a menu pops up, allowing you to stream to Twitch or just record videos of your gaming exploits for uploading to another service like YouTube.
More than just gaming
There aren't a lot of Android devices that will stream Netflix in 1080p. Google's Nexus 7 (2013 model) and the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S are notable exceptions. Nvidia now joins that elite club with the Shield Tablet, though I suspect 1080p Netflix streaming will be pretty common in the coming year.
The importance of this reveals an important point: Android gaming just isn't to the point where a device can find a substantial audience exclusively as a gaming device. This was the biggest problem with the Shield console: it was designed in such a way that it was nearly useless for games not built to use the controller. The Tablet fixes that by being, first and foremost, a good Android tablet. It has full access to Google Play, and all those touch-and-swipe games are going to play just fine. The Shield Tablet doesn't sacrifice it's ability to comfortably browse the web, or read comics, or curl up with a good e-book, for the sake of gaming.
Updates from Nvidia, including Android L
As with the Shield console, updates to the Shield Tablet will come directly from Nvidia. The company has been rock solid about providing updates to the first Shield, including both Android system updates and improvements to its own software. Software that is really not very heavily modified from stock Android, we're happy to say.
I asked when customers can expect an Android L update. Naturally, anyone buying an Android device is concerned about being stuck on "old" KitKat after Google's hot new OS ships in a few months. Nvidia says they've been working very closely with Google on the new release, and in fact, many of the stage demos at Google I/O were made on Nvidia hardware. It's confident that it can deliver an Android L update to the Shield Tablet as soon as Google says the OS is ready to release on third-party devices, and the Shield Tablet will be one of the first devices in the world to get Android L.
Nvidia's version of Android for Shield devices doesn't deviate far from stock Android. There's the addition of Tegra Zone (to be redesigned and renamed Shield Hub upon release of the tablet), and a few tweaks like battery level monitors and the integrated Twitch streaming and video recording, but the interface is left largely untouched. This bodes well for rapid software releases.
Will this be Nvidia's first mainstream hit?
This is Nvidia's third self-produced consumer product, following the original Shield console and the Tegra Note 7 tablet. Neither of those really caught on. From my limited time with the Shield Tablet, it's easy to imagine it doing a lot better in the marketplace. Its standard tablet form factor and integrated styles give it the mainstream appeal of the Tegra Note, while also satisfying gamers with high-performance hardware, game streaming from PCs (with Nvidia graphics cards), and Twitch integration.
And the price is right. At $300 for the base model, it's not cheap, but it's not more than you'd expect to pay for a high-performance 8-inch tablet. Let's face it, though: you're not going to get away with spending only $300. You'll want the controller and the cover, which pushes the price up closer to $400. Still, this is pretty good bang for the buck.

FAIRBANKS (AP) -- Two men normally on a quest for gold brought home the green at the Tesoro Arctic Man Ski and Sno-Go Classic on Friday.
Sacha Gros of Colorado and Ryan McDonald of Washington, members of the U.S. national ski and snowboard teams, won the men's Arctic Man competitions and walked away with the biggest shares of the event's $100,000-plus pot.
Gros, who skied in the 1998 Olympics, won by four-hundredths of a second, the closest margin of victory in Arctic Man's 17-year history. His time in the event was 4 minutes, 37.36 seconds. Three-time Arctic Man champ Eric Heil was runner-up at 4:37.40.
''Four-hundredths, that's like two feet,'' said Gros after his victory. ''I should've shaved -- could've been five-hundredths.''
The Arctic Man is an only-in-Alaska daredevil event held in the Hoodoo Mountains off the Richardson Highway near Summit Lake, three hours southeast of Fairbanks.
Skiers and snowboarders schuss down a 1,700-foot slope at breakneck speed, then grab a towline dangling from a moving snowmobile. They're towed up a 1,200-foot slope at speeds that can exceed 80 mph. At the top of the slope, the snowmachiner peels off and the skier or boarder speeds back down another 1,200 feet to the finish line.
The record for the roughly 5.5-mile course is 4 minutes, 17.29 seconds, set by Heil in 1997.
Gros, skiing his first Arctic Man, was pulled by snowmobiler Tyson Johnson of Anchorage. Gros was quick to credit Johnson, as well as his equipment, for the victory.
''My skis were the fastest they could be and my driver was one of the best drivers in the state,'' he said.
Gros said he had never been pulled by a snowmobile prior to training for the race, but did a lot of observing in the days leading up to Friday to figure out techniques and strategies.
Heil, towed by Len Story of Anchorage, said he released from the tow cable too early, losing momentum on the final stretch.
Lower-than-average snowfall left the course rockier, bumpier and more hazardous than usual. Of the 56 entrants, 18 failed to finish and others posted high times due to falls and other mishaps, especially in the rocky area around the bottom of the first hill.
John Dormer, who won the skiing event at the race's last running in 2000, failed to finish.
McDonald and driver Lane Geisler of Kenai won the snowboard event in 5:21.06, beating runner-up Kenny Miller and driver Tony Brickley, both of North Pole, by 10 seconds.
McDonald, 22, competes in the slalom and parallel giant slalom for the U.S. Snowboard team. He was running his first Arctic Man, as was Geisler, 34.
''We were pretty confident,'' Geisler said. ''I knew I could hang with any driver and he knew he could hang with any boarder.''
McDonald, however, said more than skill was involved.
''A lot of it is a lottery,'' he said. ''I don't care what anybody says ... it's just dumb luck if you don't crash.''
Colorado skier Noel McMenamy, 39, and Fairbanks snowmobiler Rachel Stenvik, 21, won the women's ski category in 4:46.73 seconds. It was the first Arctic Man for both women.
''That just was the most nerve-racking thing I've ever done,'' McMenamy said. ''I just felt like I was hanging on to the tail end of a tornado.''
Anchorage skier Lena Mashburn and Palmer driver Michelle Maynor, finished second in 5:08.37.
Anchorage boarder Tina Harmons and driver Kim Woodbury won the women's snowboard competition in 7:08.74.

Some of the stars of Dacorum's Olympic year will enjoy a snowy celebration after receiving free tickets to Hemel Hempstead's Snow Centre as a thank you for their efforts during 2012.
Games Makers and local volunteers made heads turn in their distinctive purple and poppy uniforms – but quickly realised that those uniforms weren't designed for winter sports!
The 40 tickets were sponsored by the Snow Centre and the Dacorum Festival of Culture and Sport so that volunteers could enjoy a free session on the slopes.
Lucky recipients were either Games Makers, or volunteers nominated by organisers of local events supported by the Festival.
Volunteer Centre Dacorum manager Heather Allen said: "Volunteering played such a huge part in the success of 2012 and it was great to be able to recognise this.
"We need to keep the spirit of volunteering going long after the Games"
Among those receiving the Snow Centre tickets were TringRugby stalwart Amanda Mustill, Isabelle Lecoeuche and colleagues from the Hemel Hempstead Photographic Society who captured Festival of Culture and Sport events for posterity and Mary Trice and Andy Fricker, nominated by Dacorum Mencap for their help in delivering the Dacorum Mencap and Sportspace Games.
Mencap's Liz King said: "Mary is a fantastic volunteer. She really knows how to talk to people and get them involved.
"She is amazing with our service users who all love her.
"Andy supports us in most of our activities and his help in the Mencap games was amazing.
"He is always happy to join in and help anyone. He deserves something for the amount of hours he has volunteered for us!"
Alison Adams from Sportspace nominated Angela Such for a ticket.
"Angela had an amazing input into the success of our Across Hemel event" said Alison.
Apsley Paper Trail, Dacorum Sports Trust and Bovingdon and Flaunden Tennis Club also nominated their volunteers for the Snow Centre tickets.
Brian Doran, who chaired the Festival of Culture and Sport said "Without the thousands of volunteers who supported the events in 2012 we just wouldn't have had such a great year in Dacorum – a big thank you from me".

CFA Institute elects a Bahraini Presidents Council representative for East Europe, Middle East and Africa – Region
CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals, has appointed Lamees Al Baharna as the Presidents Council Representative (PCR) of the CFA societies for East Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Region. Mrs. Al Baharna currently serves as the President of CFA Society Bahrain, the second largest member society in the GCC region.
The Presidents Council is made up of a chair and an elected representative from each of the 10 CFA society regions around the world. PCRs are elected by the member society presidents in each of the regions to represent the interests of those member societies to the Board of Governors and CFA Institute management. Additionally, they facilitate communication between the Board of Governors and member societies.
Mrs. Al Baharna will be serving as representative of the entire EMEA-East region which, includes:
Bahrain, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Egypt, Hellenic, Hungary, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritius, Poland, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and the Ukraine.
In her new role as PCR, Mrs. Al Baharna will be promoting communication between member societies and Chapters, CFA Institute, and the CFA Institute Board of Governors.
Nitin Mehta, CFA, Managing Director of CFA Institute in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, said: "Lamees brings a proven track record of success and knowledge of CFA Institute's and the societies' work. I am confident she will build on our growth and reinforce our commitment to raising successfully the technical knowledge of market professionals as well as promoting high ethical standards which support the development of the region's economy."
Commenting on her new role, Lamees Al Baharna, President of CFA Society Bahrain said: "This is a huge achievement for Bahrain and the whole GCC region. Most of the CFA Societies in the EMEA East region were established during the past five to seven years and have fewer than 150 members. This poses unique opportunities to ensure that our emerging CFA societies are supported in a way that can help them achieve their objectives in promoting the CFA qualification and provide value to their members. I will be focusing on building capacity and administrative support, enhancing collaboration amongst neighboring societies to achieve new efficiencies and working with societies to ensure that experiences and best practices are shared."
Mrs. Al Baharna has served as President of CFA Society Bahrain since 2013, prior to that she was the Society's Vice President for four years. She has been involved in growing the society since 2006 from 35 founding members to 157 members today. In a career spanning more than 25 years, in the Gulf region, Mrs. Al Baharna has been working within the investment and financial sector. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from McGill University in Canada. She was awarded her CFA charter in 1996. Mrs. Al Baharna is also a certified Financial Risk Manager (FRM) and a member of the Basel II Certification Institute. She is currently Head of Risk Management at Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company. Previously, she was Vice President in Gulf International Bank responsible for credit risk management and Basel II implementation. Prior to that, Mrs. Al Baharna was working at Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch Bahrain as Senior Compliance & Operations officer and Senior Account Executive.

Join for free and within seconds you can be searching for that special someone from our local database of thousands of singles. Our UK based customer support team is ready 24 hours a day to assist you and make your dating experience the best it can be.
We cover many areas of Blackpool, including Lytham St Anne's.
The first thing people see in your profile is your photograph. You want to make a good first impression right? Here are a few tips for you to pick that perfect picture.
You can add more than one photo to your profile, so if you want to add that "crayzee" night out with friends shot you can, just don't put it as your main picture.
Here at Blackpool Dating we're always hearing from former Members who have had success on the site, be that by finding their soul mate, meeting a great new friend or just having fun by going out and enjoying themselves with other Members.
Below are just a few of the Members who have been in touch with us recently.
Molly, 28
Hi guys. I just wanted to drop you a line to cancel my subscription and to thank you for a BRILLIANT site. I've had such a blast meeting up with people over the last six months, but I've been seeing a guy called James from Lytham St Anne's for a few weeks now and we've decided to "give it a go". Keep up the good work.
Josh, 25
Hi, can you please cancel my membership for the time being. After a thoroughly enjoyable year meeting up some really interesting people, I've met a great girl from Blackpool and I'm taking myself off the market!
Rachel, 37
Hello. I'm writing in to thank your team so very much for providing such a great place to meet people. I've actually been dating a guy from the site for a couple of months now and we're moving in together this weekend (woohoo!) but we're both keeping our memberships going so that we can keep using the chat room to stay in touch with all our friends here. You rock!
Andrew, 36
Dear Blackpool Dating. Thank you very much for all your help over the last few months. I'm now seeing a lovely lady from Lytham St Anne's who was living just down the road from me all the time! Thanks for bringing us together. All the best.
Your online personal ad is what makes most people decide whether to contact you or not. If you get it right, your internet dating experience will most likely be a great and happy one. Get it wrong and it could be very frustrating. Here are some tips to ensure your profile stands out from the crowds.
Having a photograph on your profile will increase the number of messages you receive by up to 6 times!
After the photograph, the second thing people look at is your profile description. You want to get peoples interest with this as this is your main way of showcasing yourself to prospective partners. Why not look through other people profiles to see what they have written to get inspiration, remember though this is your profile so ensure it is meaningful and unique to you.
Negativity breeds negativity, so make sure you are upbeat in your profile. Avoids sayings like 'no losers please' as this can put across a cynical attitude which will put people off.
If you lie on your profile, your prospective partner will find out at some point! You want someone to like you for who you are, not for who you would like to be.
Leave your profile for a few days and then come back to it. New ideas may spring to mind in this time, or a re-read may highlight any spelling or grammatical errors.

This mess of twisted metal, rubble piles, gutted walls and a huge hole looking out on the Upper East Side are all that remain of the lofty condo ripped open by Yankee Cory Lidle's small plane last week.
What wasn't demolished by the initial crash and the subsequent inferno is scattered about in small pieces around the 40th and 41st floors of the Belaire high-rise on East 72nd Street that swallowed the Cirrus SR20 Wednesday. The accident killed Lidle and flight instructor Tyler Stanger.
These exclusive photos show the charred remains of Apartment 41FG. Records show the unit belongs to Kathleen Carrona, who was seriously injured during the 1997 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and was awarded an undisclosed settlement for her nearly $400 million lawsuit. She was not home when the plane hit.
The walls that weren't ripped apart are blackened – as is a bookshelf on one wall. A red paisley couch in the middle of the room was ruined and covered in glass.
Amid the conflagration, a hero emerged from the chaos.
"I was working and I heard the biggest explosion I ever heard," said building super Imer Brovina, who was doing plumbing work in apartment 41B, when the plane hit the building's north face nearby.
"It just shook the whole building.
It was a tremendous noise.
Really, the building shook. I was just 10 feet away.
"There was smoke everywhere.
It was black. I didn't know what to do." The Belaire's super said he immediately pulled the stairwell fire alarm and dialed 911.
"I said, 'Tell the police and the fire department and everyone, really, just to come immediately.' " He was ready to make his own escape from the burning building when he heard screaming from a floor below.
"I went down one flight of stairs and I found her, Mrs.
[Ilane] Benhuri," Brovina told The Post yesterday. "She was just shaking and yelling, yelling like crazy. She was completely frozen.
"I said to her, 'Come on, we have to go. We have to get out of here right now.' She was still frozen, so I just took her. I got my other friend and we carried her. We carried here down all the flights of stairs to the lobby." After helping Benhuri out of the building, Brovina heard more screaming from one of the lower floors, and went back in to find a woman wrapped in a towel and holding a baby.
"We got her, we got the baby, and we walked everyone down," he said. "Other people too. Everyone was screaming. It was hard to walk down the stairs." "Oh, my God, I was scared to death. It almost hit me. The plane almost hit me. I was just a few feet away.
"I was so scared." Benhuri remains at New YorkPresbyterian Hospital with burns over 15 percent of her body, including her back and arms.
"We haven't even seen her," said her cousin, Steven Nerayoff.
Meanwhile, Lidle's wife Melanie continues to mourn in her Glendora, Calif., home with their 6-year-old son Christopher.
She has received several messages of support from the Yankees, said her mother, Mary Varela.
"She's not up to saying anything right now," Varela said.
"She's in good hands. [Cory's twin brother] Kevin is looking after her." Varela said her daughter has been sedated.
Crash investigators are finished with their work at the scene, and it will be months before they make any conclusions as to the cause of the single-engine plane disaster, said National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Keith Holloway.
Additional reporting by Caroline Virr in Glendora, Calif.

Town Brook groundbreaking marks beginning of Quincy downtown redevelopment
Local and state officials gathered at the Town Brook construction site Monday to recognize the official beginning of the brook relocation project.
A massive environmental and logistical undertaking, the construction, in which a 1,700 section of the brook at the center of Quincy's downtown is relocated as a 1,200-foot section running along the concourse, marks the beginning of Quincy's $1.6 billion downtown redevelopment.
Standing at the intersection of Hancock and Mechanic streets, Jay Gonzalez, secretary of the state Office of Administration and Finance, met with State Senator John Keenan, Beal/Street-Works staffers, Mayor Thomas Koch, and Quincy city councilors to see the work and speak about the project.
"I am excited to see it moving forward," Gonzalez said in a release. "This project will put people to work and deliver a host of economic, housing and community benefits to the region."
In addition to the brook's relocation, the city will have to design and build the Adams Green and construct a Burgin Parkway Access bridge before private development to move forward as planned.
Although the city has applied for a $40 million grant from the state for all three projects, most of the funding for the brook came from MassWorks.
In 2011, the city was awarded a $10.1 million MassWorks Infrastructure Grant, which was the largest of 42 different projects across the state to receive such funding.
"By working with the City of Quincy through the MassWorks Infrastructure Program, we are paving the way for future opportunities," said Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray in a release.
The overvall downtown redevelopment project is expected to create over 11,000 jobs in the Commonwealth and generate millions of dollars in sales and property tax revenues for the state and the city.
"We have waited decades to revive Quincy Center, and today is an incredible and important first step towards that goal," agreed State Representative Tackey Chan, a Quincy Democrat, in a release.
Although construction on the brook started a few weeks ago, city representatives said the state wanted to make a point of coming down and checking on the progress.
For locals, however, the gathering was to memorialize Jon Stephenson, the lead engineer to the project who passed away from colon cancer two weeks ago.
Stephenson, part of Stephenson Design Group of Boston, was 40 years old. He leaves behind a wife and two young children.
"The mayor and the secretary invited the family to the groundbreaking and presented the Stephenson family with a commemorative shovel to mark Jon's work," said mayoral spokesperson Christopher Walker. "It was his work in the last three years that put us in position to be able to construct this project, and the mayor and Secretary Gonzalez wanted to make sure his work was recognized. As his kids get older, hopefully, they will know he was a part of something very important."
The project has received all necessary permits, Walker said, except for a water quality certification, "but that's in process and we don't expect that to be a major hurdle."
Elsewhere the project is moving along as scheduled. Demolition of the American Legion Post will take place within the next few months, and if everything goes as scheduled, the project should be finished by 2013.
Even with a recently filed lawsuit by the Quincy Environmental Network through Norfolk Superior Court, Walker said the city isn't concerned that things would be derailed at this stage. The suit is seeking further review of Town Brook project, specifically regarding flood analysis.
"This has been upheld every step of the way,'' Walker said. "The city has made tremendous efforts to mitigate any concerns that have come up, and again and again, regulators have determined that this will be a tenfold improvement over the current conditions."

This medication is used in combination with "blood thinners" such as warfarin to keep clots from forming after heart valve replacements. Clots are a serious complication that can cause strokes, heart attacks, or blocked blood vessels in the lungs (pulmonary embolisms). Dipyridamole is an antiplatelet drug. It helps to keep blood flowing by stopping platelets from clumping together and by keeping heart blood vessels open.

text: GHRS Instrument Science Report 027 "Calibration of the Photometric Sensitivity of some Low and Medium Resolution Gratings" February 8, 1991 L. Ferrarese and J. R. Walsh Excerpted from the summary: The photometric sensitivity of low and medium resolution gratings has been derived using standard analysis tools in STSDAS.HRS. G140L and G160M spectra of UV grating sensitivity functions against the pre-launch curves and between calibrations derived from different standard stars are shown. The throughput for the G140L grating is down by a factor ~50% in the 1500-2000 A region in comparison with the pre-launch values, and it is closer to the nominal throughput at shorter wavelengths (note that the sharp peak near 1275A in the pre-launch sensitivity curve is not real). Spherical aberration is responsible for a 20% loss of throughput for the LSA, and for an 80% loss for the SSA. Similar behavior to the G140L is exhibited for the G160M grating, which however employs a different detector to the G140L grating. Comparison of the SSA to LSA throughput shows a mean value of 0.28 in the 1100 - 2200A region but with a trend to increasing value at longer wavelengths.

WWE Intercontinental champion Dolph Ziggler came out to the arena for the next contest of the night. In place of Ziggler's opponent, the Authority (Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Kane, Seth Rollins, Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) came out to the arena.
Stephanie McMahon spoke out as she said that they were ecstatic about the announcement that she made earlier on that night because they were winners. Unlike most of the people who were afraid to stand up for what they believed in, to fight for their rights, to believe in false idols like John Cena, and by most people he meant all of the fans.
Stephanie said that they were winners and that was why they were going to make the strongest team in the history of Survivor Series under the leadership of Mr. Money in the Bank Seth Rollins and Kane. Triple H whispered in the ears of Stephanie. Stephanie concluded their team with the name of the Viper Randy Orton.
Triple H spoke out now as he said that people thought that the Authority wanted to punish all of those who would stand in favor of the team of John Cena, but it was not right. He said that Ziggler was free to do whatever he wanted. But he would like to ask Ziggler a question; what would happen if he sided with John Cena. He wanted everyone to imagine that Ziggler won, he wanted everyone to imagine team Cena won. He asked Ziggler who he thought was going to get the credit for, would it be him. Triple H confirmed that it would not be him neither anyone else but John Cena.
Triple H now wanted everyone to imagine that team John Cena lost. Cena would then say that his team lost because he had members like Dolph Ziggler in his team. Triple H said that there was not anything about him, everyone he seemed to be ride on to the top, there was something in his way, somebody, no matter how hard he worked. Triple H said that Ziggler worked harder than anyone in the roster, which was a fact. He asked who got the credit for that, it was John Cena. He could not see through the way neither he could pass.
Stephanie McMahon told him that he needed to ask himself too, where John Cena was on that night. Triple H said that he cared so much about himself and he was not even in the arena for Ziggler on that night.
He said that Ziggler might get everything after teaming with Cena, he might become successful, he might become the WWE World Heavyweight champion, he might get girls, money, fame everything he dreamt for. But there were a lot of 'Maybes'.
Triple H gave Ziggler a proposal. If Ziggler did not join the team of John Cena Triple H would grant him whatever he wished. If he wanted to get all his maybes reality, then he had to make a decision right now. If he told John Cena that the answer was no, all of his uncertainties would be gone. Ziggler would be given by the authority whatever he wished for.
Ziggler went near Triple h said that he wanted Triple h and his buddies out of the power and Authority. Triple H said that it was a pity because he made the wrong decision. Triple H announced that he had to defend his Intercontinental championship right now against Seth Rollins.

Doris Barry Dies, Aged 96
Sarah Frater • London • 6 Jul 2009
Born in 1913, Doris was one of four daughters of north London Jewish parents. Like her more famous older sister Alicia (who died in 2004), Barry took dance lessons, but instead of ballet worked at Soho's famous Windmill Club for eight years in the 1930s. She later advised Stephen Frears on his 2005 film about the club, Mrs Henderson Presents, which starred Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins.
During publicity for the film, Doris recalled life in 1930s Soho, describing how she was one of the dancers who went on strike when the Windmill first introduced its naked tableaux. Windmill owner Mrs Henderson asked the producer Vivian Van Damm (played by Hoskins in the film) to create nude scenes, and he talked the young dancers around by comparing them to paintings in the National Gallery.
After the Windmill, Doris went into artist management, running companies for the Hungarian-born impresario Sandor Gorlinksy, who was also Nureyev's agent. She later managed her sister's company London Festival Ballet as well as overseeing Markova's busy career as Britain's first world-class ballerina (she preceded Fonteyn by a decade).
After leaving Festival Ballet, now known as English National Ballet, Doris worked on Opportunity Knocks with Hughie Green for 13 years. She was also a director of London Studio Centre, the north London vocational dance school.
Doris is survived by Vivienne, the last of the four sisters.

Great White guitarist shares band's love for Texas, special connection to Midland
Published 6:00 pm, Saturday, February 27, 2010
West Texas fans of Great White have probably heard a version of one of the band's biggest hits with the call letters of a Basin radio station replacing some lyrics.
(Lead singer) "Jack (Russell) did, oh, I don't know how many stations he did it for, but the local guys for Capitol (Records) talked to each one of their territories and asked if they would like Jack to do a special version,' said Michael Lardie, who plays keyboards and guitar for the band.
It was a brilliant marketing strategy paying dividends to this day. "People still play that version, Lardie said. "(Jack) said one of the funniest ones he did was for KWHL up in Anchorage, Alaska."
Lardie went on to sing the line the way the station requested the call letters "Alone at night, just me and the whale."
Whether the band will play the KBAT version of the song is not known, but Great White, one of the best-selling metal bands of the 1980s and '90s whose hits include "Once Bitten, Twice Shy," "Rock Me" and "House of Broken Love" will be performing in Midland on Friday night at the Horseshoe.
Lardie says he is looking forward to playing again in the area, and recalled with amazing clarity the band's previous area engagements.
"The two dates I remember down in Midland-Odessa, one was with Whitesnake, that would have been, I think March of '88. The other one was with Tesla, so I'm gonna say that was middle to late June of '89."
To what does he attribute his great memory? "I don't know if my dad talked me out of the whole concept of doing drugs when I was a kid, but I didn't do 'em, so I still have brain cells."
In addition the the older hits the band is known for, Lardie said will be performing songs from the newest album, "Rising," which was released last year. One of Lardie's favorite tracks from the album is "All or Nothing," which he said was an homage to some of their favorite bands.
"I think in that song we kinda channeled our AC/DC-ZZ Top kinda thing. I don't think you can escape your influences. If you're really being honest with yourself and think about the groups that are our staples throughout history — it's Zeppelin, Beatles, Aerosmith, Stones. Those four groups are our meat and potatoes. Those are the bands that brought us all together."
As for the sounds and artists Lardie says are the future of the music industry, he said Lady Gaga and Alicia Keys are doing some really interesting things, but he still listens to the artists he considers the greatest composers of modern time, including Elton John and Billy Joel.
"They just crafted such amazing songs that (still stand) 25 years later."
Dokken and local favorite Loudfinger are scheduled to open for Great White. The Great White-Dokken relationship goes back to the early days of the bands when they toured together. Lardie echoed the sentiment Don Dokken said in last week's interview with the Reporter-Telegram over the longevity both bands have enjoyed.
"I've known Don since 1978 and we all came up together and it's great we're still getting to do it. I mean, it's amazing when you think about it. If someone had told me at almost 52 (years old), I was still gonna be making a living at this, I'd be going 'Oh, I'd have to be pretty lucky.' And in hindsight, I am pretty lucky," he said.
Lardie has been with the band off and on since 1987.He was born in Alaska, but moved to Sacramento, Calif. when he was still an infant. He became fascinated with music from a young age and is a self-taught musician on several instruments.
He credits his family with nurturing his musical interests and giving him his first opportunities to perform.
"The first time I ever played in front of people and actually made money, I think I was 15. My uncle owened a Mexican restaurant and he allowed us to play on Sunday nights. That took me from dreaming about it to thinking I could actually do this."
Over the years, Great White has broken up and reformed several times. In the interim Lardie also played with Night Ranger.
It was during one hiatus from Great White that the tragedy at The Station nightclub in Westwick, Rhode Island occurred. Shortly after the band took the stage, a pyrotechnic effect went horribly wrong and the club ignited. The fire killed 100 people, including the band's lead guitarist, Ty Longley.
It is an event the band would understandably like to put in the past, but doing so is likely never going to happen.
"I can't really dictate what they went through. I know that on many levels, it would have to be the most difficult thing they ever faced. When Jack was talking to me about wanting to reform the original band, I told him the best thing you can do for the families and yourself is do the thing you do. Sing songs. Make people happy. So let's focus on that and go from there."
Advance tickets for the show are $30 for bleacher seats, $35 for floor seats and are available in Midland at Liquid Audio and amp; N-Tune Music. Tickets in Odessa are on sale at Endless Horizons, CD Warehouse, and amp; N-Tune Music. Door prices the day of the show are $40 for bleacher seats and $45 for floor seats. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the show will start at 7:30 p.m.

Shoaib and Sky under the spotlight
While the spectre of ball-tampering briefly resurfaced at The Rose Bowl, it was Sky Sports' coverage which came in for criticism in the media.
The BBC's veteran Pat Murphy accused Sky of having "power without responsibility" for the way they presented and commented on the footage of Shoaib Akhtar working on the ball.
And Derek Pringle in The Daily Telegraph was equally critical:
"In a mischievous piece of commentary, Sky failed to draw their own conclusions, leaving it for viewers to email in their thoughts. Nasser Hussain's trenchant thoughts after England's innings — that Shoaib, was "very silly to do it in the current climate" as it would be "all over the morning paper" — was ironic given Sky's instigative role."
Pringle also noted:
"The pictures, shown in slow motion, mostly looked innocent (you are allowed to clean the ball under the umpire's supervision). Yet when a bowler uses his thumb to lightly pick at something out of their line of sight, there is always room for other interpretations especially when you've been punished for ball-tampering before, as Shoaib was in 2003."
In The Guardian, David Hopps wrote:
"Anyone who contends that the pictures shown constitute evidence of ball-tampering would find identical incidents taking place every day that first-class cricket is played. The nub of Pakistan resentment is less that they are being accused of cheating than that they are the ones who are being singled out."
Richard Hobson in The Times said that: "the sequence was suspicious but inconclusive, because at no stage was it certain that his nail dug into the ball."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Rudy Gay had 23 points and nine rebounds and the Sacramento Kings beat Toronto 102-99 on Sunday night after waiting out a video review to see if the Raptors had forced overtime on Terrence Ross' 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Ross grabbed a deflected pass, took two dribbles and made a 33-footer, but the officials ruled time had expired.
The Kings snapped a four-game losing streak and beat the Raptors for the second time this season. They held DeMar DeRozan to three second-half points and outscored Toronto 44-36.
Kyle Lowry had 25 points and eight assists for the Raptors. Jonas Valanciunas added 23 points and 14 rebounds , DeMarre Carroll had 17 points, DeRozan a season-low 12 points, and Patrick Patterson 11.
The NBA's scoring leader, DeRozan, was defended tightly by Gay for much of the game and missed 12 of 15 shots.
DeMarcus Cousins had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Kings, Darrin Collison had 15 points and nine assists and Aaron Afflalo had 14 points. The Kings had dropped eight of 10 games.

If we write a feature > that does not scale up beyond writing singular forms, then we get limited > reusability. Right. But in the use-cases I've been seeing, the idea is to keep the model entirely encapsulated. For example, imagine you have a model that logs in to a system like Twitter. It contains all of the instances required to handle the user-name and password, and it also has all of the submissions to do the login. It is activated by firing an event at the model, and it reports success or failure by firing an event back. Now, the nice thing about this: <model id="mdl-twitter-login" src="login-to-twitter.xml" /> is that the ID of the model is set in the host document, not the imported document. This means that the host document can initiate the login like this: <dispatch target="mld-twitter-login' event="do-login" /> and can register for the success and failure events, like this: <message ev:event="login-failed" observer="mdl-twitter-login"> Failed to login to Twitter! </message> and so on. If you do this: <include src="login-to-twitter.xml" /> then the model ID would have to be hard-coded inside the included document. Note that for me the key notion here is the idea of the model being encapsulated. We have quite a lot of these kinds of models that fire events out to notify the host of status, and listen for events to be told when to do whatever it is that they do. These events are like public interfaces, but in most cases we treat the internal interfaces like private class members -- they are not available to the host document -- which is why I'm not that bothered about the ID fix-up issue. I should just say though, that I'm quite happy with XInclude too, and agree with Erik that for many developers it's already being used to good effectl. All I've been imagining is the use of @src as a little bit of sugar-coating on XInclude; pretty much the same functionality, but performing an additional step which is to add the attributes from the host document (like @id, @schema, @functions, etc.). But as I said, I'm not a fan of the more elaborate 'fixing up' approach, because I don't think it moves us to a different realm (more like template processing, rather than simple document importing).

The questions surrounding Tiger Woods and the condition of his back should be put to rest after his showing during the first round of the Deutsche Bank Championship. Woods, who battled a sore back for the entirety of The Barclays last week, showed no signs of discomfort in a first round in which he shot a three under par 68. He's currently five shots off of the pace set by Phil Mickelson and Brian Davis after one round. When asked about his back, Woods credited the extra day off with helping him get back into game shape. "It helped having that extra day off," he said. "It made a difference."
His Friday scorecard isn't anything that is going to blow you away, but it was far from appalling. He carded two birdies on the back nine and added two more on the front (his final nine of the day) in addition to a bogey on the par-4 first hole. It was evident from the beginning that both Woods and Adam Scott were going to struggle to keep pace with Mickelson, the final member of their group. Despite the fact that Woods is a few shots off of the pace the good news is that his back no longer seems to be a problem – which means that he just might be able to get through the rest of the playoffs healthy.
As is usually the case when a pro golfer steps onto the course, Woods knows that he left some scoring chances out on the course. "Missed a few opportunities out there," he said. "The golf course is really receptive and certainly gettable." Even though he didn't hit the ball as well as he would have liked, Tiger definitely did not play himself out of the tournament in the first round.
We saw him make a run at the title last week with a bad back. If he can stay within a few shots of the lead heading into the final round at TPC Boston, a healthy Tiger will make things interesting during Monday's final round.

More of some unforgettable Rock'n'Roll. Combine this one and Cosmo's Factory and you pretty much have the perfect playlist through the hard times, good times, long drives, exams, lonely nights, dull jobs, i.e. pretty much all of your life. Immortal stuff. Probably wouldn't even bother to write about stuff this old and this classic, but these are just "those" kinda times. You need something reliable, trusty, true, emotional, sturdy and gruff rather than some of the new fangled bull shit. Simple, manly, guitars just puffing along, reminding you of trains, a vocalist earnestly belting out the lines "When I was a little bitty baby/My mama would rock me in my cradle/in them old cotton fields back home", far far away from the pomposity and self indulgent musical climate of the present day. Even in my cubicle, I can feel the sun on my shoulders and the sky above. "Willy and the Poor Boys" remains the most straight-as-an-arrow (even by CCR standards), steady, 4/4, bluesy rock chug-a-thon in their discography, not a lot of improvisation, even by CCR standards, remember, their strength was churning true hooky countryish blueish rock hit on hit and not jamming/experimenting..not their forte dudes!! But full points for being for what they truly are.
–Baba T
Recommended Tracks -This set of ditties ain't as trippy as the stuff on Cosmo's Factory, more straightforward, but I like it as much or even better when I am in the mood. I can't honestly say that I am a very big fan of "Effigy", it seems to take you one way and then John Fogerty does the switcheroo and takes the line the other way, and something seems to remind me of "Hey Joe", but that's all I can say…….
