Upsets rule at Match Play: Rory, Tiger out in Round 1
- Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy both lost in Round 1 Thursday
- Shane Lowry defeated McIlroy%2C and Charle Howell III defeated Woods
- A couple of No. 2 seeds%2C Adam Scott and Lee Westwood%2C also lost
MARANA, Ariz. — Finally, after snowstorms, cold fronts and morning frost, the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play resumed its first round on Thursday.
And then the upsets began.
The biggest came as darkness fell, when Shane Lowry knocked out world No. 1 Rory McIlroy 1 up.
"Deep down I knew I could beat him. I'm not here for no reason," Lowry said. "I'm not here to make up the numbers. I was quite nervous starting off. I handed him a few holes early, but he handed me a few back later on in the round. And this is match play, and I got a few breaks where I needed them, and I'm just fortunate to win."
Shortly thereafter, Charles Howell III knocked out a second No. 1 seed, Tiger Woods 2 and 1.
"We both played well," Woods said. "We didn't make a bogey in the group. He made a couple more birdies than I did."
"I played with nothing to lose," Howell said. "In this format, match play is a crazy thing. … I knew I had to play extremely well to have a chance, and I still kept waiting for that Tiger moment. He hit his second shot into 15 from the fairway, looked awfully good, but it pitched long, and his tee shot on 16 never left the flag. He missed that putt."
And so the two biggest drawing cards, Woods and McIlroy, are out in the first round.
Those weren't the only upsets.
Rookie Russell Henley, a 14 seed, took down former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel 1 up.
Schwartzel came in as one of the hotter players in golf, with two victories, two seconds, two thirds and a fifth dating back to last fall.
That was followed quickly by a second 14 vs. 3 upset, Richard Sterne defeated Jason Dufner 1 up.
Tim Clark, a No. 15 seed, defeated No. 2 seed Adam Scott 2 and 1. Clark has had big wins here before, including a 2009 victory against Tiger Woods, then a 1 seed.
No. 15 Rafael Cabrera Bello also ousted a No. 2 seed, Lee Westwood, 1 up after 19 holes.
Dustin Johnson, a No. 4 seed who opened the season with a victory in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, continued his struggles. Johnson, who lost to Alexander Noren 6 and 4, has withdrawn, tied for 51st and missed back-to-back cuts coming into this week.
In another 4-13 upset, No. 13 Marcus Fraser held off No. 4 Keegan Bradley 1 up.

Last month was the chilliest December in 100 years and one of the coldest months ever recorded in the UK, the Met Office said today.
While 2010 has been one of the warmest years on record globally, provisional figures show that it was the 12th coldest UK year since records began in 1910. Temperatures in Britain averaged 8C over the year, the Met Office said.
The average temperature for December was -1C – significantly colder than the longterm average of 4.2C and lower than the previous coldest December, in 1981, when temperatures averaged 0.1C over the month.
December was the coldest month in England and Wales since February 1986, the coldest in Scotland since February 1947 and the coldest on record in Northern Ireland.
It has emerged that, in October, the Met Office informed the government that this winter would be exceptionally cold, but did not tell the public.
Last month, temperatures regularly plunged to between -10C and -20C overnight as the country was hit by exceptionally cold and snowy weather, while temperatures struggled to get above freezing in many places during the day.
But although December was cold and snowy, it was also relatively dry and sunny, the Met Office said.
It was the third driest December since 1910, with just 38% of the expected rain falling during the month, and the third sunniest since 1929.
The year as a whole has also been dry and sunny, with figures showing it was the ninth sunniest year since 1929 and the 10th driest since 1910.
Last month, as Britain was gripped by a second harsh winter in a row, meteorologists revealed that globally, 2010 was on course to be one of the hottest years ever recorded.
The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said temperatures between January and October were 0.55C above the long-term average of 14C – slightly higher than the hottest year on record in 1998.
Provisional results from the Met Office and the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia showed 2010 was 0.52C warmer than normal until the end of October, putting it on a par with their figures for the record-breaking 1998, and on track to be the hottest or second hottest year since records began.
Data from two other international records showed it was the hottest year on record so far.

The Duchess gets a Nod
It looks like our book, The Duchess of Whimsy has been named as a finalist for the Library of Virginia's Whitney and Scott Cardozo Award for Children's Literature. The Cardozo Award recognizes excellence in children's literature published in the previous year. The winner is determined by votes cast and I would be remiss if I didn't put it out there and use this platform to try and crush the competition. If you did genuinely like the Duchess and feel inclined to vote, please proceed here and thanks, from both Randall and me!

Capital Newspapers - Times Union
Albany, New York, United States
📁 Content and News
Requisition #: 1903608
The Times Union, an iconic property of Hearst, is tasked with telling the story of the Capital Region. We believe in helping our employees tell their own stories through professional development and opportunity, and in return ensure they have a deep understanding of how their contributions help tell the story of one of the most celebrated media brands in New York.
Known as The Advertiser, The Pennysaver, or The Moneysaver in their respective communities, this group of eleven small papers blankets the region in weekly deals and community news. Our employees work in small local offices and make a big impact on the towns they serve.
"We must be alarmingly enterprising, and we must be startlingly original, and do new and striking things which constitute a revolution."William Randolph Hearst
Sure, we produce an award-winning daily newspaper but we also run the most well-read website in the Capital Region. We publish specialty magazines such as Upstate and Women@Work, the latter of which has built a network of business women who meet for informative breakfasts and networking events throughout the year. And we've recently opened the Hearst Media Center, a state-of-the-art event venue where we'll continue to expand on our mission to be the center of the community conversation.
Hearst's properties in New York's Capital Region were established in 1924 when William Randolph Hearst purchased the Times Union newspaper.
Today, the Times Union is a multi-media powerhouse. The newspaper is widely respected for its focus on local news and watchdog reporting, particularly on state government and politics. It has won numerous state and national awards for its work in print and online, and has repeatedly been named New York's "Newspaper of Distinction" by the state editors association.
Timesunion.com is Upstate New York's most innovative news website. Our assets include the state's largest digital advertising agency and we are the host of major regional events, including the annual Home Expo at the Capital Center in Albany.
New York's Capital Region is about three hours north of New York City, three hours south of Montreal and three and a half hours from Boston. Located at the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers and sandwiched between the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains, the area is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. The area is also home to Saratoga Race Course, one of the best places in the country to watch horse racing.
The arts are abundant here as well. The region is home to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, a premier outdoor amphitheater which hosts the Philadelphia Orchestra and New York City Ballet each summer. The Times Union Center is the area largest arena hosting everything from rock concerts to auto shows. We've got museums, galleries and musical groups galore. Like old things? Antique shops and classic car shows abound.
While winters here can be snowy, the summers make up for them. They lean toward sunny and not too hot and ice cream stands pop open to serve you from May through September.

'Nothing subtle about this little baby - its a gusty revy formula for fun'
Performance Car, 1993
Engine & Gearbox
The four-cylinder (TU2J2)
unit in the 106 Rallye is a small capacity, easily accessible engine of
1294cc. With two-valves per cylinder and a single
overhead camshaft, specific power is 77bhp per litre (55.6kW/l)
Maximum output is 100bhp (72kW) at 7200rpm with fuel injection
cut-off at 7400rpm/ Maximum torque is 108Nm (11.2mkg) at 5400rpm. A
Magnetti Marelli 08P21 combined ignition and injection system
is fitted for optimum all-round efficiency.
This engine, with a three-way catalyst and a knock sensor, can run on
RON 95 unleaded petrol. The light alloy cylinder block (bore x stroke:
75mm x 73.2mm) with its wet liners is derived from that of
the 1300cc 205 Rallye.
The con rods, pistons and crankshaft are also shared but the cylinder
head, also light alloy, is derived from the TU3J2 engine of the Peugeot
106 XSi, with a compression ratio of 10.2:1.
There are four seperate intake branches on the manifold and the mouths
of these intakes have sufficient material for enlarging in the process
of subsequent development.
The special camshaft has TU3 dimensions. Inlet and exhaust valves have
the same 11mm lift with diameters of 39mm and 31.5mm respectively. The
inlet manifold has an optimum 2.5 litres capacity while
the inlet branches have a capacity of 1.6 litres, thus ensuring the
capability to exploit the difference between "production standard"
power and higher performance.
A rubber buffer absorbs vibration between the "outrigged" main manifold
and the cylinder head. The air filter, with a venturi, is mounted
behind the front cross-member. The exhaust is siamesed, with
a cast collector chamber and a welded, rolled steel rear chamber.
The cooling circuit incorporates a copper-cored radiator and coolant
bottle, plus a single-speed electrode cooling fan, thermostatically
controlled. Engine oil cooling is by an eight-leaf water/oil
heat exchanger.
The Peugeot 106 Rallye suspension is similar to that on the Peugeot 106 XSi, the only
difference being increased diameter anti-roll bars. The springs and dampers are shared with the XSi.
Up front, a forged steel wishbone and an independent 22mm anti-roll bar
are linked to the support strut by a double ball-jointed rod. This
layout results in a virtually instantaneous anti-roll
response which exactly meets the design specification.
The rear trailing arm and torsion bars suspension also has an anti-roll
bar with its diameter increased to 21mm from the 19mm bar fitted to the
XSi. The two torsion bars are 19mm which is the same
size as the 106 XSi and GTi 16v.
The rack and pinion steering has a three-spoke steering wheel fitted with a medallion in the Peugeot Talbot Sport colours.
The braking system comprises 247mm ventilated front discs and 180mm diameter rear drums, with 8" vacuum servo assistance.
As an option, twin-sensor anti-lock braking was available when buying new.
'The steering feel is sensational, the chassis balance just on the
controllable side of knife edge and the unburstable engine begs you to
wring every last molecule of power from it'
evo, 1996
Exterior & Bodywork
The 106 Rallye was only available in three colours -
Bianca White, Cherry Red or Black. Peugeot Talbot Sport (PTS) livery as
standard and lightweight Michelin Sport 5.5x14" steel
wheels. The bodywork enhanced by deep front sports spoiler, coloured
rear bumper, and all-round coloured wheel arch extensions.
It shares the 106 XSi front bumper design but comes completely colour
painted to match the bodywork. The lower foglights on the XSi bumper
have been replaced with two side grilles. Behind each grille
there is a blanking plate which can be removed at will to improve brake
Front wheel arch, front bumper with grilles, and rear bumper with tailgate graphics.
Side graphics and Michelin sport steel wheels
Bodywork Colour Codes
P0WP - Bianca White
P0KB - Cherry Red
P0XY - Black
'What we have here is the most throttle adjustable front-wheel drive car currently made'
Autocar & Motor, 1994
Peugeot have given the Rallye a subtly coloured, sporty interior
treatment to match the cars evocative look. Inside, the front bucket
seats with high lateral support are upholstered in special black
cloth trim with red PTS logo's on them. The rear is fitted with a one
piece folding bench seat in matching trim.
The Rallye also has a special lightweight carpet in a vibrant red
colour with matching red seatbelts front and rear. These are unique to
the Rallye and not fitted to any other Peugeot
Series 1 Rallye Interior
There is a
black dashboard based upon the standard 106 Series 1 layout, it
features a 3 spoke sports steering wheel with PTS logo on the
centre cap. Interior plastics are kept to a minimum to loose weight
hence the large amount of bare metal showing inside the car.
Peugeot thoughtfully equipped the Rallye. The instruments, in a large
four-dial layout, include an electronic rev. counter, a trip meter,
digital clock and a warning lights array: water
temperature gauge, fuel level, battery charge, handbrake, oil level and
temperature. The Rallye is equipped with H4 headlamps and two-speed
plus intermittent wash-wipe, door mirrors remotely
adjustable and rear wash-wipe. Optional extra's included a factory
fitted glass sunroof when buying new.
achievement you get from wringing this terrific little car along a
tricky piece of road, is right up there with the very best
driver's cars money can buy'
evo, 2004
The close ratio gearbox and uprated suspension are perfectly matched to
the mega 1.3 litre engine to produce a winning combination of exciting
acceleration and tenacious roadholding. The 106 Rallye
has just what it takes to make driving sheer sparking fun!
On track at Anglesey, Curborough and Prescott Hillclimb

Clean pearls by gently wiping or polishing with a soft cotton cloth. never use jewelry cleaning chemicals on pearls: the pearls will discolor and otherwise get damaged.
sterling noir is sterling silver metal with a black rhodium coating. chemical cleaners can damage the dark finish and so should be avoided. Instead, rub gently with a soft cotton cloth.

My first thought after watching this video was "they must be joking". After watching it again it's obvious that they weren't joking.
"Bishop" Eddie Long has now been crowned a king.
I was stunned when I heard the supposedly Jewish fella state "no more a commoner but a King" before the cheering New Birth crowd.
Had the scroll they wrapped around their new "King" been made of Charmin it would have been more appropriate.
What a load of manure.
I don't know who I felt sorrier for; the dumbstruck crowd who don't seem to know any better or the four dudes who had the unfortunate task of hoisting up the new "King", throne and all, on their shoulders.
I wouldn't want to be in any of their shoes when they meet the real King of King and Lord of Lords.

X-Men: First Class star Michael Fassbender discusses Magneto's mission and mutant sex lives. Diane Lane drops a Man of Steel hint, Hugh Jackman talks Real Steel, and The Amazing Spider-Man might actually feature a certain sexy redhead.
Spoilers from here on out!
Top image from X-Men: First Class.
X-Men: First Class
Matthew Vaughn, Bryan Singer, and James McAvoy all opened up about what they'd like to see in a sequel, as plans are now taking shape for two more films. Vaughn compares his X-Men movies to Christopher Nolan's work on Batman:
"First Class is similar to Batman Begins, where you have the fun of introducing the characters and getting to know them, but that takes time. But with the second one you can just get on with it and have a rollicking good time. That's the main difference between Begins and The Dark Knight."
He also teased a possible new time period:
"1962 is far more grounded in the world of the '50s. I think it takes about five years for a decade to really start getting its identity, so the fun thing about this for me would be doing [a sequel] in the latter part of the decade, where you've got The Stones, The Beatles, Flower Power…"
Bryan Singer acknowledged that the idea of time-jumping the series first into the 1970s and then the 1980s has been discussed, but there are concerns this would age the characters too fast. James McAvoy outlined his own hopes for what Professor X might get up to in the next two films, saying he'd like to see Charles get "messed up" in his search for other mutants:
"In First Class he uses Cerebro for the first time and maybe it unlocks something in his head – maybe he can't keep the voices out or something. So in the second movie his journey could be about getting himself out of a mess. And then in the third movie he becomes… Patrick Stewart!"
Michael Fassbender reveals that Erik Lehnsherr's main motivation in the movie is to track down Kevin Bacon's Sebastian Shaw:
Shaw had him in these concentration camps and as we know, the Nazis were doing lots of experimentation - all sorts of things, like measuring skull and brain size and running experiments on human beings. So Shaw is trying to unleash this power in him - he's recognized that he can manipulate metal and so we catch up with Erik on a quest to hunt him down.
He agreed with James McAvoy's comparison of Xavier and Lehnsherr to Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, although he also pointed out a more primal difference between the two:
If that's what he said, then yeah, I like it. That sounds good. It's actually a good way to summarise it. But also, I think that Charles is just horny, and just trying to get laid. Throughout the film. He's like 'human beings are cool, give them a chance' because he just wants to have human-being sex. He doesn't want to have mutant sex. Whereas Eric really gets off on mutant sex.
Fassbender also revealed one of his favorite sequences to shoot was early in the film, where he kills a bunch of Nazis while trying to track down Sebastian Shaw. There's a ton more at the link. [IGN]
Man of Steel
New Ma Kent portrayer Diane Lane suggested the movie covers all of Superman's life, from the beginning:
"I read the script under lock and key... I was locked in a room with the script and was only allowed three hours with it. I nailed it into my memory. I'm really excited. I'm really not allowed to talk much about it, I think, but it does cover the entire range of years, from infancy on."
The Amazing Spider-Man
This is pretty random, but apparently the movie is looking for an "actress to portray beautiful red-headed teenage girl for featured background...(18+ only)." Everyone is naturally assuming this is Mary Jane Watson in a non-speaking role, and the part would then be recast with a name actress when she gets a larger part in the sequel, sort of like what the new Sherlock Holmes movies have done with Moriaty. That, however, is all supposition and speculation. [Superhero Hype]
Real Steel
Here's an interview with star Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy, in which they talk about the fact that this robot-boxing movie features absolutely no greenscreen — and in fact, right after filming a take, Jackman could go see his performance on the monitor with the CG elements already included. [AMC Theatres]
Men in Black 3
A Serious Man and Boardwalk Empire actor Michael Stuhlbarg has reportedly been cast as Griffin, a role that District 9's Sharlto Copley was originally up for. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Linkin Park will be remixing their song "Iridescent" for the movie. [TFLAMB]
Terminator 5
Justin Lin - whose greatest directorial accomplishment is probably Community's incredible paintball episode - discussed the rumors that he might be offered the director's chair on the next Terminator film:
I think one of the great things is that when I got started, no one would return my calls, and now I get a lot of phone calls, which is good. I have options. Terminator was one of my favorite films growing up. And I feel I have a take that I would love to see, and I've talked with Arnold and we've talked and we'll see. Again, I would love to do it, but it has to be the right circumstances. It has to be the right people. And there's other projects too. But I'm in a position now that I can choose more than I could a year ago, two years ago. So that is something that is potentially in my future, but when I get home I will sit down and look at my options and choose what I want to do.
Oz the Great and Powerful
Green Lantern's Blake Lively is reportedly the front-runner for Glinda the Good Witch, but she may have to drop out to appear in Oliver Stone's new drama Savages instead. [Variety]
James Bond
Sony Pictures has reportedly signed on to co-finance the next two Bond movies with MGM, which should just about resolve the franchise's ongoing money woes. [ComingSoon.net]
Evil Dead Remake
Bruce Campbell offered the latest update on the long-mooted, probably never-going-to-happen Evil Dead remake:
"NEWSFLASH: We are remaking EVIL DEAD. The script is awesome. I will be one of the producers and possibly play the milk man."
Doctor Who
Some major spoilers from the opening story "The Impossible Astronaut"/"Day of the Moon" have hit the web. We can't confirm whether they're real or not. Warning: These spoilers, if true, give away some major plot points. So yeah - read at your own peril, at the link. [Doctor Who TV]
Here's an interview with Karen Gillan in which she teases what's ahead for Amy Pond in the new season.
Here's a promo for episode 19, "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide."
Like last year's nineteenth episode, the highly experimental musical episode "Brown Betty", this year's nineteenth episode will be quite trippy - which you could probably guess, considering its title is the full chemical name for LSD - and will definitely feature Leonard Nimoy. [TV Guide]
Presented without further comment, here's a joint interview with Fringe's Jasika Nicole and The Cleveland Show's title character. [Fringe Television]
The Event
Here's some spoiler-y hints for the final two episodes of the season:
The final two episodes feature what an insider calls a "deeply bittersweet reunion" between two characters. Meanwhile, Sophia's efforts to wipe out the entire human race to make room for her people reaches a climax.
[TV Line]
Here's an interview with Jensen Ackles.
Stargate Universe
Here's a sneak peek at episode 17, "Common Descent."
Here's a sneak peek for upcoming episode "Kent."
Executive producer Kelly Souders explains what's ahead for Tess, particularly now that Lionel Luthor is back on the scene:
"Her issues are really going to come to a head. I think that she's got some really critical interactions with some key characters in the show, and she definitely is going to be forced to take a side at the end of the day."
[TV Guide]
When Lois gains Clark's powers for a day, the fallout with not include amnesia, although there will be other consequences. [TV Line]

Behold!! March has finally arived, time for informed gamers to blow some cash. March is indeed, the month of awesomeness, packed with piles of awesome shit, its impossible for players not to find nothing of interest in this month.
First, lets talk about the DS. For me, DS has the least of the anticipated games this month. For DS, expect Shin megamin tensei:strange jourmey to hit stores on the 23rd of march. Shin megami tensei:devil survivor last year was an awesome release, awesome enough to take the position of my 2nd favourite game. According to screenshots and articles, gamplay for strange journey is slightly the same from devil survivor, which means this is a definite must try for me.
Now for the PSP. 1st up is blazblue portable, my most anticipated PSP game currently. Blazblue on the consoles was released last year, and it was a huge hit. I cant wait to grab this, it looks damn promising. This is actually one of the best 2D fighters I have ever seen! Blazblue portable is hitting shelves on 9th march.
Next up for PSP is lunar:silver star harmony. This is obviously a JRPG, and I am, obviously, a JRPG kind of guy. Many JRPGs now adays get slaughtered in reviews and im not liking it.... good thing though, this one got 8.0 in gamespot, that means it must really be good. This hits shelves tommorow! Getting it duh, but not that soon though.
Last great game for PSP mimana Iyar chronicles. Another JRPG, good for me! This one looks more fun than lunar:silver star harmony from screenshots. Another one that looks really promising, just hope reviews dont get it butchered. This one hits stalls abit late, on the 30th of march.
Time for the boss console, PS3! These games are gonna create a hole in my wallet..... Anyway! 1st game is resonance of fate, actually its called end of eternity, but the US publishers changed it to resonance of fate, wth. But who cares! Another JRPG! But this one looks abit different from the rest somehow. Once again, who cares! Swords, guns, fists, its all the same since they are all JRPGs. This game is hitting shelves on 16th of march, same day of god of war 3...which is coming up next.
And ta-dah! God of war 3 baby. The next 2 game Im talking about are godamn blockbusters, if you have never heard of them, kindly leave now, you are damn outdated as shit. After being captivated by the beauty of gameplay in god of war collection on my PS3, I have seen god of war with a different eye. God of war is a series worth commenting on alot, since its a pure uncensored game of godman goodness! Getting this for sure, just not sure when. This game hits stores on 16th of march, same as resonanse of fate.
Lastly, we have final fantasy 13. My most anticipated game of the year. If you dont know this, get lost, just kidding,no Im not, if you dont know this you should get lost. Final fantasy 13 is the latest of the final fantasy series, which is by no doubt loved around the enitre world. This installment looks sick!!!! A must get for me, buying it on the day it releases. This game is out on the 9th of march.

One of the things that usually gets a gratifyingly big reaction from audiences in CRY FOR BOBO, the clown film I directed in 2001, is Little Joey the infant clown.
Played by three-year-old thespian Lewis Reid, he's an endearing yet nightmarish figure, and his entrance is the point where the viewers realises they're in a rather different kind of world. Coulrophobes start squirming immediately.
Lewis was used to the idea of acting and make-believe, like most kids, but especially because both his parents are actors, and he'd seen them at work in panto. He came to meet us while we were preparing the shoot at our studio/offices, having been suggested by one of our adult clowns, I think Stevie McNicoll. Lewis worked the room vigorously, seeming like a complete little grown-up, eagerly showing us his Thunderbird 2just the way an adult would. We were all immediately convinced he had what it took to play the part of Joey. "It was amazing — the whole time he was here I just assumed we were definitely going to cast him," remarked costume designer Ali Mitchell, who had the substantial job of making both a clown wardrobe and a business suit for the little thesp.
So, Lewis's first day of filming dawned. I screwed up. Lewis was so self-possessed and confident I failed to realise that a three-year-old is like an elephant, you have to kind of work around their needs. I devised a tracking shot that pulled back with our two clown protags, Mark McDonnell and Stevie, and then Lewis was supposed to walk in. But he was afraid of the tracks. He'd seen the camera dolly trundle along them and he was damned if he was stepping into its path.
On take one his dad sort of prompted him into shot, but got into shot with him.
For take two I sat Lewis in the foreground and let the camera reveal him. But he looked like a sort of abstract squiggle down at the bottom of the frame, a colourful hair in the gate or something.
Take three — I had Tracey Robertson, as Betty the clown housewife, carry Little Joey in. He'd been demoted from actor to prop. That seemed to do the trick.
Then we filmed other stuff. For hours. BIG MISTAKE.
This is what happened when we put Lewis in front of the camera just after his bedtime. Three-year-olds have an Off-Switch somewhere in their little brains, and when they get tired, it trips, and they're out like a light.
"We'll have to be quick," I told cinematographer Scott Ward, "Lewis is falling asleep." Scott assumed I meant "Lewis is tired," until he looked through the camera at the close-up, and realised, NO, he's LITERALLY falling asleep.
I promise, just about the cutest thing you'll ever see.
Lewis was nothing short of magnificent for the rest of the shoot. While acting as an extra, Fiona asked him what his favourite film was. "CRY FOR BOBO!" he replied, without hesitation. Now that's my kind of actor.

Heavy Snow Buries Courchevel Slalom
COURCHEVEL, France (Dec. 17) - A thick blanket of over three feet of snow forced organizers to postpone the women's Audi FIS Alpine World Cup slalom scheduled for Saturday in Courchevel. The race, originally slated as a giant slalom, was swapped to slalom when the forecast called for heavy snow. The slalom is now reset for Sunday with a 9:30 a.m. local start time for the first run and 12:30 p.m. for the second run. Slated to start for the U.S. Ski Team are Lindsey Vonn (Vail, CO), who will be going for her fifth straight win, Julia Mancuso (Squaw Valley, CA), Sarah Schleper (Vail, CO), Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, CO) and Resi Stiegler (Jackson Hole, WY). The giant slalom has been canceled.
Universal Sports will stream the race live online and carry TV coverage at 11 a.m. ET.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'bruised ego' tag.
The other day I tripped on a large tree root across the path. I stumbled first, an impressive number of feet really, six to ten, before I fell. At least I was closer to the ground by the time I landed, maybe only a foot away, and I was able to "drop" to the grass. (At least there was grass.) It wasn't the worst crash I've ever had in my life but it was the first one since I've started running. It really shook me up.
I knew it would happen eventually. I'd heard stories about people falling while running. (Tales told around the campfire.) I'd even seen evidence. When I ran in the Pecos Mountains during the summer, one of the women I ran with fell and was completely scraped up: angry trail rash spread across one arm and both her legs. I was horrified. When would it happen to me?
I was determined never to fall. I'd been so careful. Always keeping my eyes on the path, watching for roots, for rocks, clumps of thick grass, holes underneath the grass, anything that might jeopardize my balance and send me sprawling onto the ground. I couldn't afford a fall. I don't need to hurt my hip/s, my knees, my back. My body just can't sustain many more bang-ups at my age.
I made it six months.
It came out of nowhere: that root. Actually, I saw it, my mind registered that there was a big fat root. I run in that park all the time and know where the roots are exposed and reaching across the path. I am skilled at maneuvering over them like an obstacle course in boot camp. Most of the time, I think it's a blast to run on uneven ground, cross county; I dance over the web of roots. However, this day, I was not paying much attention to what I was doing, where I was placing my feet. This is different from being in a Zen state while running, somehow. I'm not sure how but I'll get back to this. (I was tired, possibly even a little sick—could that be it?) Anyway, I was thinking about other things, something to do with the blog, most likely. What would I write about? What was I going to fix for dinner? I was not present; not in the moment. I saw it but the message from my brain to my foot was slow, apparently, and the foot just didn't respond, did not lift up in time, or not enough, and my bad toe struck the tree root.
(My toe is "bad' because it has had problems—an old fracture in the joint–not bad because it didn't obey my brain's command.) As it collided with the root, I felt a jolt of pain all the way up into my knee and hip. Somehow, after falling, I rolled (old volleyball training–muscle memory is an amazing thing) and ended up on my back, looking up into the trees. I was embarrassed when a couple strolling by asked me if I had fallen, asked me if I was okay. Bruised ego. I didn't want to get up; more out of shame than the idea that I may find out I was really hurt. I would just stay there on the grass, looking into the trees forever. Maybe I would turn invisible. Maybe they would buy the idea that I was just contemplating the foliage. They didn't. I stood, thanked them, said I was okay, and started limping down the trail. It wasn't too bad. I was a little wobbly, afraid to go to fast. I felt a sharp pain in my foot but it subsided and I figured I could give it a go. I ran around the park one more time, this time utterly in the present, completely aware of the ground and every blade of grass that might trip me up. It was easy to focus after falling down.
Fear is good for focus. (Is that what I'm saying? Generally, fear paralyzes me, but maybe a healthy respect for pain is good for focus.) I'm not sure, but it was easy to place my attention on the path, on every step I made after being on such intimate terms with the ground, knowing now, I am not invincible. It occurred to me that maybe falling while running is a rite of passage; something all runners face at some time. I can say I'm really a runner now because I've met the earth. Joking aside. I don't know what "real" runners say about falling, but the point I'm trying to make is that I kept going. I fell down and it didn't stop me. I survived. I may even be a bit better for it (at least more aware of where I'm putting my feet).

NEW YORK (MainStreet) – When it comes to mortgage rates, homeowners have been watching just how low they can go and reacting accordingly to historically rock-bottom interest rates.
When rates hit 5%, the rush to refinance was sizeable. When rates fell to 4.5%, the rush to refinance was more substantial. When rates fell to 4%, the rush to refinance was downright staggering. And here we are again, with the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage falling another rung on the ladder, to 3.87%.
With rates at "an all-time record low," according to Freddie Mac, the rush to refinance may well reach stampede status, especially with good news on jobs (this morning's announcement that the unemployment rate fell to 8.3%), and more bullish sentiment elsewhere on the economic front.
Refinancing, even if you just did it six or nine months ago, certainly makes plenty of financial sense these days. Freddie Mac is out with a report stating that 49% of homeowners who refinanced their mortgages during the fourth quarter of 2011 reduced the principal balance on their mortgages – the highest percentage in 26 years.
The study also shows that the median interest rate reduction was 1.4%, a 26% savings on mortgage interest rates, and during the first year of the newly refinanced loan the average dollar savings totaled $2,700 on a $200,000 home loan.
"Savvy homeowners are taking advantage of some of the lowest fixed-rate [mortgages] in more than 60 years to lock in interest savings," says Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist at Freddie Mac.
So even if you just refinanced, the benefits of doing so again may well outweigh standing pat. Let's look at some at some reasons why it may be a good idea, and why it may not be. Here are the pros:
- Not only will you reduce your mortgage rate, you'll reduce the principal balance on your home mortgage.
- More cash in your wallet allows you to use that money to spend down other debt, pay off your house more quickly, or add to your retirement savings.
- If you use the extra money to pay down debt, you can improve your credit rating – thus making future loans even more affordable.
And for the contrarians, here are the cons of refinancing again:
- Every time you refinance you "reset" your mortgage payment clock to 30 years. So it may, depending on your payment volume, take you that much longer to satisfy your loan obligation.
- Any loan process with a bank or mortgage lender is akin to root canal. Be prepared for more paperwork, more negotiations, and more scrutiny on your credit rating.
- You'll be paying fees and closing costs to refinance, and that will cut into your savings.
There's a reality check involved here, too.
Banks and lenders won't be offering 3.87% mortgage interest rate deals to just anybody. You'll need platinum-level credit – think a FICO score of 720 and above. If that's you, great, you stand the best chance of getting the low rates and saving money on your mortgages. But the further down the FICO scale you slide, the higher your interest will be – and it won't be 3.87%.
To get a good grip on where you stand refinancing-wise, use BankingMyWay's Refinance Interest Savings calculator. Even in you refinanced in the last year, the calculator can tell you how much interest you can save if you refinance your mortgage again.
Beyond that, figure out where you are, house-wise. One rule of thumb is that if you plan on moving within five years, refinancing is a bad idea (the real savings are usually found at the back end of the deal, and the front-end savings are chewed up by closing costs and fees).
But if you have good credit and plan on being around a while, there's no reason you can't take advantage of record-low mortgage rates.
After all, you just don't know if you'll ever see them again.
Depending on your situation, you may be eligible for a bit of government help in your refinancing efforts. Check out MainStreet's rundown of President Obama's proposal to know what to expect!

Hi, I'm making a game with random world generation. Everything is running smothly except when it comes down to drawing the blocks on screen. It has a for loop to loop through all the different blocks but it just skips the for loop!
Here's the draw method that should draw all the blocks:
/** * Draw all the block in the world on the screen. * * @param Graphics2D g */ public void draw(Graphics2D g) { System.out.println("Drawing..."); for (int var0 = 0; var0 < world.length; var0++) { for (int var1 = 0; var1 < world[var0].length; var1++) { System.out.println("In nested for loop!"); world[var0][var1].draw(this, g, var0, (size.height - var1)); } } System.out.println("Finished drawing!"); }
I have seriously no idea what the problem is!
Please help me!

All night beneath the sacred
Mountain, the ghosts --
Pain problematizes
The picture of the past
Carving its black
Passage through the snows
Like a knife
The path
Of the wound --
A canyon
Through which the copper
River flows --
It's strange, the body that's the subject here - you feel that you can dip your hand in. A mirror becomes a pool of water.
The poem and the paintings bring to mind the cerebral folds. It's a landscape that shouldn't be seen.
Cerebral folds indeed. Almost like home.
Georgia O'Keefe gave the name The Black Place to one of her favourite painting locations, a stretch of desolate black, grey and silver clay hills encircled by white sand arroyos in Navajo country in Northwestern New Mexico, about 150 miles northwest of her home at Ghost Ranch. Some have compared the unique wind-eroded landscape formations of this area with pterodactyls. O'Keffe thought that from a distance, the hillls
looked like "a mile of elephants". Between 1936 and 1949 she made fourteen camping trips to this isolated off-road wilderness area, the Bisti Badlands. In 1944-45 these trips produced six canvases, two of which appear here.
It's as if the place was waiting for her.
Georgia said she used to roll under her car during the mid-day heat, to avoid heat-stroke.
It's always been assumed that her flower and mountain compositions were sexual metaphors, but I've always thought that missed the point.
They're like avatars of her soul, a daring unflinching portrait of desire and curiosity and awe, exfoliating from a mysterious center. Which is really rather UN-feminine when you think about it. It's like she's super sexual, not hermaphroditic.
She left Alfred because she wanted to transcend her own powerfully seductive sexuality. She conquered him and then moved on into a-sexual space. Seeing things purely, without any Aristotelian preconceptions. No men in her life, until Juan Hamilton moved in on her. Maybe that killed her daemon.
Wooden Boy:
It was.

Base stealers
Rollins, Pierre greatful to win Bell Award
By Bill Ladson
Jimmy Rollins won the Cool Papa Bell Award for leading the National League in stolen bases last season.
Rollins/Pierre on winning the Cool Papa Bell Award

Friendly competition between Rollins and Pierre
MLB radio's Billy Sample with Jimmy Rollins
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- It's Oct. 7, the last day of the 2001 baseball season. The Colorado Rockies are playing the San Diego Padres. Both teams were long out of the playoff race, but something is at stake on this day for Rockies center fielder Juan Pierre. He learns two things before the game: Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jimmy Rollins didn't play against the Cincinnati Reds, and Pierre needed three stolen bases to pass Rollins for the National League lead.
Rockies Manager Buddy Bell is aware of the situation and told Pierre he had the green light to win the stolen base championship. But, first, Pierre had to get on base and he did just that in a 14-5 victory over the Padres, going 2-for-5 and stealing two bases to tie Rollins for the stolen base title with 46.

Award winners
Jimmy Rollins and Juan Pierre accepted Legacy Awards last week from the employees at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
The motives
Branch Rickey had several reasons for signing Jackie Robinson to a pro contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Historian Steve Goldman has the details.
Segregated Baseball: A Kaleidoscopic review
While the very existence of the Negro Leagues was necessary because of the racial divides in the United States, black baseball not only survived -- it excelled.
Traveling show
Barnstorming was common place in the Negro Leagues.
As turns out, Rollins is glad Pierre tied him, for he and Pierre were the only current players who attended the Legacy Awards Wednesday, put together by the people at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Mo. The ceremony recognizes the best Major League baseball players, managers and executives with awards given in the name and spirit of Negro Leagues legends such as Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Bell and Oscar Charleston.
By tying for the stolen base title in the NL, Rollins and Pierre were co-winners of the Cool Papa Bell award. Bell is considered the fastest player in baseball history and reportedly stole 175 bases in just under 200 games.
"The award means a lot to me because you steal 46 bases and then you hear the Cool Papa Bell stories and that he stole (175) bases in one year," said Pierre at a press conference at the Museum Wednesday afternoon. "To hear the stories...from (Negro Leagues great) Buck O'Neil and other guys who talk about him, (you say to yourself) 'He must have been good.' And just to be mentioned in the same breath ... is unbelievable."
Rollins had the same feelings and added, "I'm not as fast as Cool Papa Bell. I might not be in bed before the room gets dark (like Bell supposedly did after turning out a light). I tried that already, it didn't work. ... To be recognized for stealing bases (by the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum), to get my name in the Museum, that's something I didn't count on, but it's a great honor."
Prior to press conference, O'Neil and NLBM's Dir. of Marketing Bob Kendrick took Pierre and Rollins on a tour of the Museum and it was obvious Pierre and Rollins enjoyed learning about the Negro Leagues. They were amazed when Kendrick showed them a picture of the Pittsburgh Crawfords and explained that the Crawfords have more Baseball Hall of Famers -- five -- than any other Negro League team.
Pierre and Rollins weren't aware that catcher Sam Hairston played in the Negro Leagues and is the grandfather of Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jerry Hairston Jr. They kept staring at a photo of Sam for several minutes, amazed how much he looked like Jerry.
Then there was O'Neil, who was making Pierre and Rollins laugh throughout the tour, telling stories about Satchel Paige and Hank Aaron. By the time the tour ended, Pierre and Rollins wanted to spread the word about the Museum to their fellow Major Leaguers.
"I'm going to Spring Training and tell everybody about (the Museum)," said Pierre, who's in his third year in the Majors. "I want my mom, my dad and everybody from home to experience the tour. You don't have to be a baseball fan to enjoy it. You can be a fan of United States history."
"You come (to the Museum one time) and learn so much," said Rollins, who's entering his second full season in the big leagues. ... You know you can't get it all done in one day, so you want to come back more and more. ... You want to read every piece of (material) and learn everything you can about every player."
People in baseball circles are learning that Pierre and Rollins are two of the top young players in the Majors. In 2001, the left-handed hitting Pierre, for example, scored 108 runs, collected 202 hits and hit .327 for the Rockies, who finished near the bottom of the NL West last season. He also showed he wasn't a bad center fielder - like Bell -- committing only eight errors.
Rollins was one of the leading candidates for Rookie of the Year honors last season, but Albert Pujols won the award. But you can't overlook Rollins' accomplishments. At 23, he's already one of the leaders on the Phillies. Last season, Rollins hit .274 with 14 home runs and 54 RBIs, while guiding the Phillies to playoff contention for the first time since 1993.
However, both players are more concerned about their team's success this year than their individual stats.
"I think (the Rockies) going to sneak up on some people this year, " Pierre said. "I think we made ourselves better. (Mike Hampton and Denny Neagle) have one year of pitching in Coors Field. ... It's not going to be easy."
"I'm excited about the season we are going to have in Philadelphia," Rollins, said. "We have our All-Star catcher Mike Lieberthal back. (He missed most of last season with a knee injury). We missed him greatly. We still had a good run (last season). We finished second behind the Braves by three games. And with Lieby back, we can (do better)."
If all goes well during the 2002 season, don't be surprised if Pierre and Rollins are back in Kansas City next year to win another Legacy Award.
