C|M|LAW's '140 Plan' in the news:
"Law schools reduce classes as applications drop in wake of fewer legal jobs"
Cleveland Plain Dealer, 7/23/12
"Law school admission tighter"
Crain's Cleveland, 6/4/12
Over the last year, U.S. law schools have come under increasing fire for producing more graduates than there are available legal jobs. Roughly 45,000 law students graduate annually into a legal employment sector that shed that many jobs during the "Great Recession," and has continued to contract even as other sectors make tentative employment gains. Ohio's law schools graduate nearly twice as many new lawyers each year than there are positions available.
For Cleveland-Marshall College of Law at Cleveland State University, these statistics prompted radical changes. The law school plans to decrease its entering class from 200 to 140 students, revamp the curriculum, and expand opportunities for experiential learning.
"The '140 Plan' is a common-sense response to what's going on in the marketplace. It is about adapting to a legal sector that is undergoing major, long-term transformation and doing the right thing for our students," says Cleveland-Marshall Dean Craig M. Boise. "Ethically, we were not willing to take tuition dollars from students who would not have a reasonable chance of using their degrees.
"By implementing substantial curricular changes and expanding practical and skills training, we expect to increase the odds that our students stay on the right side of the statistics ‑ that they are prepared to pass the bar and are highly employable."
The Law School Admissions Council reports that 167 of the roughly 200 U.S. law schools, including some of the most highly ranked, are suffering significant declines in applications for the 2012-2013 academic year. This follows on the heels of an 11% decline in applications in 2011-2012. Law schools must determine, based on a number of academic indicators, how likely each applicant is to pass the bar exam and have a career in law.
The 140 Plan is part of a larger, changing picture at Cleveland-Marshall, one that includes increasing the ratio of clinical professors to students in order to provide more practice opportunities, funding a bar exam preparation course for all graduates—typically a $3000 out-of-pocket expense for students—and building on the school's already strong network of alumni to engage students with the legal community.
"When employers look at our graduates, they will see a smaller, but stronger pool of candidates who have already had meaningful practical experience," says Boise.
Cleveland-Marshall College of Law boasted a state-high 92% pass rate for first time takers of the 2012 February bar, and according to the most recent law school employment data, 2010 graduates of Cleveland-Marshall led all Ohio public law schools in graduates employed full-time in positions requiring a JD, exceeding the national average. Additionally, among Ohio public law schools, the class of 2010 had the lowest percentage of graduates with a student loan.
The school plans to pay for the smaller numbers through budget cuts, faculty and staff attrition, and by making incremental tuition increases over three years. Even after tuition increases, Cleveland-Marshall—already the least expensive law school in Ohio—will offer one of the most affordable law degrees in the state.

Trademark Features: All torque ratings listed above are to the wheels, assuming a 20 percent driveline loss. Single and twin plates are strap-driven and feature a sprung hub for quiet and smooth operation.
Do You Offer Flywheels for Corvettes? Chrome-moly flywheels are included with our Corvette clutch kits and are burst tested at 17,000 rpm. In addition, the ring gear is an integral (milled-in) part of the flywheel, which prevents it from ever coming off.
Quote from Company: "Durability by advanced engineering."
Centerforce Clutches
(928) 771-8422
Brief Description: Centerforce offers five different single-disc levels, with the Dual Friction, DFX, and Light Metal Clutches (LMC) being most commonly used in the Corvette. The Dual Friction is a performance-matched pressure-plate-and-disc combination. Its pressure plate features our patented centrifugal-weight system and specialized machining processes to provide a performance clutch that offers exceptional street characteristics, while offering outstanding holding capacity and durability. The Dual Friction disc has a full facing on the pressure-plate side for driveability and longevity, while a carbon-composite puck-style (segmented) facing is used on the flywheel side for a positive engagement and increased holding capacity.
The DFX series is aimed at high-end applications that continually demand increased integrity and holding capacity. It provides some of the best driveability from a race-inspired clutch. DFX retains an easy pedal effort, thanks to Centerforce's patented ball-bearing-actuated diaphragm, for smooth engagements without detriment to the vehicle's thrust bearing and release components.
The Centerforce LMC Series is a specifically designed, low-inertia performance clutch that dramatically reduces engine rotating mass. This is a lightweight, SFI-approved competition clutch that also utilizes our ball-bearing technology. The LMC-series friction disc utilizes a dual-segmented carbon-composite lining for improved cooling and excellent torque capacity. When used in conjunction with Centerforce's aluminum flywheels, LMC Series brings the term "lightweight" to an unparalleled level.
Trademark Features: Centerforce currently holds nine exclusive patents pertaining to automotive performance clutches. We use our patented processes and more than 25 years of experience to create the best clutch-and-flywheel package for your application. These processes include the famous Centerforce weight system, Dual-Friction discs, ball-bearing-actuated pressure plates, precision billet flywheels, and more. Each application is developed to provide the right amount of clamp load, friction, and durability for ultimate clutch control.
Do You Offer Flywheels for Corvettes? Centerforce manufactures the best in SFI-approved performance flywheels by using high-strength billets, not castings. Our aluminum flywheels are made from aircraft-grade billet aluminum for light weight (low inertia). They also feature mechanically retained starter-ring gears, as well as replaceable steel-friction surfaces that have been heat-treated for abrasion resistance and long life. Centerforce billet-steel and aluminum flywheels are CAD/CAM designed and then CNC machined to strict tolerances for perfect fitment and hassle-free, bolt-in performance.
Quote from Company: "Centerforce strives to be the leader in clutch technology, quality, and value!"

For our take-home exam, one of the questions asked about mosaicism and regulation and the differences between the two. I was particularly interested with each mechanism's relation to cell-to-cell interactions and how these interactions imply how these mechanisms exist in the environment naturally.
Mosaicism is the mechanism in which a cell's fate is predetermined by factors it receives during each cleavage. This principle suggests that the mosaic mechanism would not require cell-to-cell interactions. More interestingly, no truly mosaic embryos are known to exist in the environment. Therefore, there must be some other mechanism that is used in order for cell differentiation and embryo development.
Regulation is the mechanism in which an embryo is able to continue developing normally regardless of any changes or destruction. In order to detect these changes, there must be some form of cell-to-cell interactions.
Although there are some organisms that develop as if there is no cell-to-cell interaction and with a predetermined cell fate, it is evident that this is not the only mechanism for development. However, it is important to note an experiment done by Wilhelm Roux that suggested mosaicism as a basis. While studying fertilized frog embryos, Roux destroyed one of the two cells after the first cleavage. The remaining cell developed into only half of an embryo. Therefore, he concluded that mosaicism must be the basis of development for this organism. With this experiment, it only seemed logical that mosaicism was a useful mechanism.
So, if there are no purely mosaic embryos in the environment, what type of mechanism other than mosaicism takes place within a frog? With Roux's experiment, it seems as though mosaicism is a clear answer for this embryonic formation. However, this is only the result because Roux left the killed cell attached, but the embryo did not recognize the cell as being nonfunctional. If the killed cell had been removed, the embryo would have gone through regulation in which it would have developed into a smaller, but normal embryo.
Therefore, regulation is a key mechanism in development. However, with the information presented in class and my own critical thinking, it was hard to come up with this as the answer. Now that I finished my take-home exam, I decided to look up the real 'best' answer for development and it seems as though regulation is it!

In case you missed it, billionaire candidate Meg Whitman is shattering campaign spending records – spending $27.2 million in the first 11 weeks of this year alone.
Combined with the $19.4 million she spent last year, that's a total of 46.6 million, and the primary is still more than two months away. All but some $8 million of that came from her own pocket, the San Jose Mercury News is reporting.
And with only $4.5 million on hand, she is probably going to have to cut herself another check soon, the paper reports.

Unbeaten Giants top seed in Babe Ruth tourney
Jun 27, 2013 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports Editor
The Giants of the Riverton Babe Ruth League finished the regular season unbeaten with a 12-0 mark.
The team is the No. 1 seed for the postseason tournament. The league is made up of 13-15-year-olds.
The Giants played Thursday night vs. the Yankees in one of the semifinals.
"We were fortunate to have some great pitching on the team," Giants manager Mike Axthelm said. "We just need to make sure that we play our game in the tournament."
The Phillies and the Rockies played in the final game of the night.
"The league has been really competitive this year," Axthelm said. "It was a tight race to see who got into the tournament."
The two winners play Monday night in the championship game.
Axthelm said the Giants played one of their best games of the regular season Monday night in a 12-0 over the Lander Expos.
"We have put in a lot of runs across the plate this season," Axthelm said. "We have had fantastic production from everybody. They put the ball in play. We have just been a real solid team at the plate."
The top pitchers for the Giants have been Steven Reinig, Reed Axthelm and Baylor Beers.
"They have been really consistent," manager Axthelm said. "They have had really great control and getting some outs."
Lander teams
Two Lander Babe Ruth teams finished their baseball season Monday night.
The Lander Expos and the Lander Tigers played in the Riverton league.
"One of our goals is for the kids to improve from the start of the season," Lander Expos manager Chuck Carr said. "They did that. We were competitive for the most part."
The Expos finished the Babe Ruth season with a 4-8 mark.
"There were probably three games that we lost by one or two runs," Carr said. "We were competitive.
We could have ended the season at .500 or a little above."
The Lander Tigers ended the season at 1-11.
"They had a little bit of a tougher season," Carr said. "They had some injuries and kids that were gone to camp."
This was the third year Lander teams have played in the Riverton league.
"It's just not a lot of fun if two teams play over and over," Carr said.
"We like going over to Riverton. The Riverton kids like coming over to Lander. I think that it's really cool."
The Expos had a mixed age group. Ray Malek was the manager of the Lander Tigers.
"We were a pretty young team," Carr said.
Riverton Babe Ruth rosters
Giants -- Brennan Sullivan, Ridge McCoy, Matthew Reinig, Reed Axthelm, Lane Dykman, Tyler Boysen, Patrick Cornell, Steven Reinig, Baylor Beers, Antone Monroe, Nick O'Halloran.

The history of our Feaste celebration began in 2011 when Dr. Michael Martin wanted to re-create the Feaste celebrations he celebrated at Kent State University. Working with permissions secured by Kent's former director, the event was able to take place in December, 2011. Costumes were created and coordinated with the help of Ruth Minor and the Gilbert Theater. With a blast of the herald trumpet, Methodist University began their own Feaste celebration!! It continues, as a joint venture of Friends of Music at Methodist and the Methodist University Music Department. Taking its participants and audience back to the time of Queen Elizabeth I, the Feaste is a Renaissance-style dinner engagement featuring an elegant four-course meal, a festive banquet hall setting, a large cast of costumed characters straight out of Tudor England, and MU students singing carols appropriate for the Christmas season.

Free eBook Feature: A Provencal Mystery
Free Kindle eBook:
Author: Ann Elwood
Genre: Mystery
$0.00 (March 15 & 16 only)
Book Description: A Provencal Mystery
Why did a nun in a seventeenth-century convent flagellate herself until her blood spattered the wall? Why did nuns save a child doomed to death in the Holocaust and who wanted her killed? Who wants a lost head-shaped reliquary that holds something other than a head? And are answers to these questions the key to a terrible modern-day death in a quiet archive?
When American historian Pandora (Dory) Ryan finds a very rare, uncataloged seventeenth century nun's diary inside a record book at the provincial archives in Avignon, she is thrilled. This is historian's treasure. But she doesn't know yet that it will send her on a search that brings about changes in how she feels about her profession, the irrational, and love with a sexy Frenchman. And it will take her from the archive on a dangerous adventure into the countryside of Provence, which, beautiful as it is, has a long and bloody history.
The archive's dramatis personae: the grumpy archivist, with his paper-clip chains; the gofer, who smokes Gauloises and gets away with far too much; a nun with a sense of humor who harangues high school kids about sex; the nun's glamorous sidekick; a famous American historian, whose requests for documents are inexplicably denied; the eminent professor, destined to fall in love; his nervous graduate student. And that sexy Frenchman, who isn't who he says he is.

Here is the second installment of Joanne & Jake's Jewish wedding at The Oyster Box in Umhlanga Rocks, South Africa. Looking back at the pictures really does make me homesick. I love South Africa. I miss it a lot.
One of my favourite things about shooting Jewish Weddings is that the dancing starts off right from the get go at the beginning of the reception. The bride and groom are introduced and right away The Hora starts. The men and woman form two separate circles and begin gong round and round and round…

Ron McIntyre's curator insight, July 7, 10:08 AM
Most disagreements, failures and missed opportunities are because of the loss of perspective or too small of a perspective on the situation. Expanding perspectives will always improve visibility.
Scott J. Simmerman's curator insight, July 2, 9:16 AM
We call it "leadership." It frames up as the engagement of the organization and its people to look for the countless performance improvement opportunities. Leadership CAN"T be only from the top down -- that is de-motivational and you know that, "A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world." (John LeCarre) -- It is the hands on people who know about most of the things that need to be fixed to optimize performance results.

Great insights. Self-leadership is everyone's business and the pre-requisite to leading for others which everyone does consciously or not The key is conscious leadership
Ron McIntyre's curator insight, July 5, 3:04 PM
Having advocated flat organizations for the last 5 years this study is very gratifying. However, even with the data incorporated here command and control will not go quietly into the night. Too many egos involved still. The time will come!
Ed Nikora's curator insight, July 7, 10:11 PM
Leadership is about recognizing business opportunity gaps, identifying why they exist, the potential that lies within the gaps, and then knowing how to solve for them.
Joe Boutte's curator insight, July 1, 8:08 AM
If your team doesn't know what to do when you aren't around, you've failed as a leader. The world needs everyday leaders who are autonomous, but understand their leader's vision, intent, and expectations to create the output and outcomes required.

4 great questions and a great premise that the right questions never get old
Ron McIntyre's curator insight, June 19, 10:29 AM
Absolutely true. HR should be the heart of a company, not the stepchild but it has been commandeered over the last 2 decades. They need to become proactive advocates for change.
Ian Berry's curator insight, June 19, 6:17 PM
Like this from the article
"For Gratton, 'context' is made up of three layers: your corporation, your supply chain, and those who support your organisation in the outer world. Successful leadership in this new era of work is about engaging with those three levels.
"As we enter this new era of work, where change is the norm and employees and customers are seeking greater transparency, organisations must endeavour to help every employee be as good as they can be," she says."
Ian Berry's curator insight, June 19, 1:57 AM
A key reason we're failing to make progress is only focusing leadership development on executives and designated leaders rather than focusing on everyone. Self-leadership is everyone's business and is the starting place to leading for others.
Ron McIntyre's curator insight, June 19, 10:36 AM
I totally agree with Deloitte's question here? So few companies have any type of career planning for anyone in the organization. It is a part of leadership that must begin to get traction. Planning for succession is one thing but open, transparent career planning is another.
Ron McIntyre's curator insight, June 17, 11:19 AM
I would love to see a follow-up study completed. With the impact of the crash has there been any major shifts either way. With the massive growth in millionaires and billionaires in the last decade there will be some interesting insights that could come out of it. In 2011 someone projected the number of millionaires would grow by 72.5% by 2020 to 68.5 million worldwide.

EKN.ca Trackside Live: Canadian National Championships - Rotax Senior Report
Marc-Andre Levesque earned the qualifying pole in Rotax Senior and stayed on the front row through three heats

Mixed among the storylines at the National Karting Championship in Grand-Mére last weekend was the fact that six Rotax pilots were going to complete the 2008 line-up for Rotax Team Canada. Five had already earned the right from various events across North America in the past twelve months, and the champion and vice-champion from Rotax Senior, Rotax Junior and Rotax DD2 were going to complete the roster. The three classes therefore earned top billing at the event, and Rotax Senior was racing in the lead-off position all weekend.
Rain reeked havoc on the early part of the championship as from Wednesday to the Friday morning timed session the track rarely presented a repeat condition. A mix from light to heavy rain was most common, with dry conditions a rare delicacy. No surprise then that 48 competitors took to a wet track for the Official timed session, split into two groups. SH/Tonykarts led in both as Jean-Phillippe Raymond was quickest in group one with a 55.573 second lap followed by Massimo Scotti of Team pslkarting.com, and defending National Champion Christophe Boisclair for SRA/Arrow. Group Two then took over when Olivier Sirois put PSL back on top of the chart with a 55.451 second lap which was pipped for pole when Marc-Andre Levesque earned top spot with a 55.448. Raymond and Scotti remained third and fourth, with Jean-Francois Valour earning fifth ahead of Bosiclair. Hugo Mousseau, Marco Di Leo, Alexandre Laboissonniere and Gerald Caseley completed the top ten.
The importance of the session was surely less than during a traditional race format, as the field was then divided into Groups A-D for two days and three rounds of heat racing. In A vs B, Sirois took the win followed by Gelinas and Levesque before penalties moved and reinstated Sirois, and DQd and reinstated Gelinas, who then had a three-position penalty allowing Boisclair to third. See the Forum thread for Paddock Update details as the day progressed. In C vs D immediately following, Mousseau led Scotti and Raymond to the line. Round two Saturday morning saw Valour lead Levesque and Laboissonniere in A vs C; and Scotti win from Sirois and Di Leo in B vs D. The third round had Levesque win from Scotti and Valour in A vs D; and in the final heat of the rotation Sirois took his second heat win with Boisclair in third. Jonathan Daigle-Bleau was second, and it was the first time in any heat race that a driver from outside the original top-ten from qualifying reached a top-three position, yet he wasnt far in eleventh. The biggest mover through the heats was Lorenzo Mandarino and his Pserra Kart. After qualifying 35th, Mandarino posted an incredible heat trio of 7-4-4 to advance all the way to P7 for the prefinal. It was a sign of things to come, yet first up was the Senior LCQ to close Saturday action.

In do-or-die race conditions, 27 drivers took to the grid at the end of the day looking for one of 12 coveted transfer positions to the National prefinal. Thirty-six points was the magic number for automatic transfer, and though Matt France had the total, he lost out in a tie-breaking process to Michel Legrand, who had a quicker time from original qualifying. Benoit-Phillipe Rondeau was off-pole yet the only driver with the pace of the overall class leaders once the green waved. Rondeau posted a quick lap of 44.193 seconds and advanced to Sunday followed by Etienne La Salle, Frank Launi and nine others.
After a promising dry spell Saturday afternoon, Sunday was warm and sunny with blue skies bringing bonafide dry racing to all prefinals. The atmosphere was electric as the paddock went into race mode. Rotax Senior continued to lead the rotation, and when the green waved on the prefinal just past 10:30am Olivier Sirois led out of turn two with Massimo Scotti second and Lorenzo Mandarino third. Alexandre Laboissonniere, Jean-Francois Valour and Christophe Boisclair followed, and the top six were immediately clear of the field with the remainder fighting their way through the opening half lap. Mandarino worked to second on two, the lead group held through three and by the end of four Sirois and Mandarino were working clear. Mandarino put his Pserra out front on five, and when the lead pair began swapping the spot the front once again became a line of six. They consistently lapped at identical pace and swapped positions lap after lap. Through it all came Philippe Gelinas, turning laps two-tenths quicker on his TonyKart and reeling in the entire line. By the final flag, Sirois and Mandarino were ever so slightly ahead of the three-four pair of Valour and Scotti, with Laboissonniere and Gelinas completing the top six. Boisclair was isolated in seventh, meaning all karts in the top seven spots had started within the top nine.
Following were the movers-and-shakers among the bunch, led by Derek Michaud in eighth. The Arrow driver stormed forward from P20 on the grid and set the fastest lap of the weekend in the process. His 43.633 was fractionally quicker than the pace Gelinas had in running down the leaders, and a sign of what it took to work toward the front. Christopher Ernst was ninth, Marco Di Leo tenth, and Gerald Caseley eleventh all the way from P21. Completing the front six rows headed to the National Final was LCQ winner Benoit-Phillipe Rondeau!

With 22 laps separating two drivers in the field from Italy, Mandarino led from turn two followed by Sirois and Scotti. The pack was three-wide behind them into three as drivers looked to make hay. Onto the back chute the lead trio had a gap while Gelinas, Laboissonniere, Di Leo and Boisclair took up chase. Mandarino took the lead on two and Sirois countered on three as the prefinal began to repeat itself. The front settled in to a 2-2-2 formation with Sirois-Mandarino leading tandems of Scotti-Laboissonniere and Gelinas-Di Leo. A major moment came early as Scotti and Laboissonniere touched exiting the final hairpin allowing both Gelinas and Di Leo to jump forward. The lead continued to change hands, and with the field approaching half distance Sirois led Mandarino while Laboissonniere had regrouped and run down the leaders with Gelinas in tow. Heading into the second half it was a four-pack at the front and noone else was going to win this race.
The defining moments of the race came in the closing stages when Laboissonniere took second from Mandarino at turn two. It was the first time the Pserra had dropped outside of first or second, and on the next lap Gelinas took third at the same spot. While Mandarino took the position back quickly, the short exchange allowed the lead pair a gap that would secure Italy and the World Finals for both. Sirois took the National final with Laboissonniere second and in no mind to challenge with a bigger picture in mind. Gelinas took third once again to complete the podium while Mandarino was fourth. Valour had worked to an isolated fifth, just a tenth of the pace of the leaders. The back half of the top ten began with Arrow mates Boisclair and Michaud, followed by rookie senior Christopher Ernst and all the way from the LCQ to the top ten was Rondeau - with the fastest lap of the race in the process.
Sirois and Laboissonniere now join Western Challenge Champion Marc Arsenault as the Senior trio to represent Canada at the RMC Grand Final in November. Check back often this week for further race reports from the 2008 National Championship.

Writing to the Rev.

Tom Watson
JULIUS MASON: Good afternoon, everyone. I'm the PGA of America's Julius Mason. I'd like to thank you for joining us for this Ryder Cup captain's update. Ryder Cup Captain, Tom Watson, is back at the Greenbrier, his home away from home, if you will, where he served as only the second golf professional emeritus. Tom, before we get deep into Ryder Cup activities, how about we hear what the golf course is looking like out there today and how did you play?
TOM WATSON: That's a generic question there, Julius. I played pretty well today. It's a long golf course for a 64‑year‑old compared to some of these kids that I played with yesterday. I played with Jimmy Walker yesterday who hits the ball a long way. I'm just having to yell to him to talk to him how far ahead of me he is with the driver. Actually, I played well today, and I'm looking forward to putting it to the test and hitting those longer clubs into the par‑4s. These kids are hitting 7‑ and 8‑irons into it where I'm back there with my hybrids.
But all joking aside, I'm playing pretty well and looking forward to the week here at the Greenbrier. It's a place I've grown to love over the years, and actually the first time I came here was during the Ryder Cup in 1979. I was here as a player on the team. I had to withdraw because of the birth of my first born, Meg, and I remember the three days we spent here left me a great impression. I've come back here every year since 1979. It's a special place to be.
JULIUS MASON: Thank you, Captain. So in 82 days, you along with Team USA will land in Edinburgh, Scotland for the 40th Ryder Cup. We've got the point standings in front of you for the American team and the European team. I believe our guests also have that at their disposal. Any thoughts on what the team is looking like and how it's shaping up for you?
TOM WATSON: There are a lot of usual suspects on the European team with the exception of Victor Dubuisson and Jamie Donaldson. All of their stars seem very close to making the team. Our team, the top nine, we've got three new bees in there. We've got three players that haven't played in the Ryder Cup in Jimmy Walker, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed in the top nine there. But we've had some players who certainly had some great experience there, especially Jim Furyk. He's played in, I think 8 Ryder Cups.
Julius, you're the statistician here. I think it's eight he's played in. But he's a stalwart and is playing well this year, so it's always good when your team is playing well. That's all I ask, really is when September 26th starts that the players who are there are all playing at the top of their game or at least better than their average, and that makes it easy for me to make decisions of who plays with whom and it does. That wasn't the case in '93. There were some players that weren't playing particularly well, so I had to basically make the decision of not playing them all but just one of the foursome or four ball matches, and that's, as I told my players back in '93, and I tell the players now in 2014 the same thing is true. I'm going to try everything possible in the pairings out here for us to win these matches. It's been a pretty dire road for the American team for the last nine Ryder Cups. We've only won two, and it's time to turn that around.
Q. What have you found to be the greatest differences between captaining in 1993 and so far this year?
TOM WATSON: Hmm, the greatest differences? The greatest difference is really my responsibilities. That's the greatest difference this guy standing right to my left saying all right, Tom, we need to do this and do this for the Ryder Cup. Frankly, I didn't have a lot of what I'm doing today back in '93 prior to the Ryder Cup to do. But it's really even before last year where we had the year to go event at the site, at Gleneagles, we were there for a couple of days doing a really big PR push for the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles and every month after that we had Ryder Cup press conferences with people, keeping it on the front burner with people.
It's one of the great sporting events there is. It's an international scoring event, and it creates some of the best golf that you'll ever see.
It always amazes me to watch the Ryder Cup as I've been doing the last several years, every year, you see the types of shots that are made, the shots from off the green that these guys are holing, the chip shots, the holed shots, the holes in one. Just seems there is more of it. It's just that condensed series of matches called the Ryder Cup. I think a lot of it has to do with the intensity that the Ryder Cup brings to the players. It's the type of pressure they play under, and the cream usually rises to the top.
JULIUS MASON: Just an observation on top of that. As Tom was mentioning the activity that we had just last year in '93 leading up to the '93 event, there wasn't a one‑year to go event, so things changed a little bit.
Q. I want to ask you a little about Patrick Reed's chances of making the Ryder Cup team being ranked ninth and everything, and I have another question about him after that.
TOM WATSON: Well, Patrick is ninth right now, and, again, there are a lot of points left. Patrick plays well, he's on the team. If he doesn't play well, I'll have to make him a captain's pick if I deem that's the right way to go.
Q. How do you like his confidence? You know, the comment about the top 5 player thing.
TOM WATSON: I like that as long as he backs it up. I like that.
Q. Going through the World Cup soccer frenzy, I was wondering did you ever feel anything like that going through the Ryder Cup situation?
TOM WATSON: I have. That's the beautiful thing for us Ryder Cup players. In my particular instance, the most poignant memory I have is when I was sitting there and the opening ceremony in 1977 at Royal Liverpool at St. Annes, watching the American flag going up, The National Anthem being played, and I am playing for my country. I'm playing for the team, but I'm playing for my country. First time I've been involved in an international event like that. Not to be trite about it, that was really cool. That was the memory I remember most.
I remember some of the matches we won and lost, and that was part of it. But that was the memory that always sticks with me about the Ryder Cup. I've had lots of other memories, not the least of which was the memory of watching the team lose at Medinah, and watching that and suffering through that and the pit in my stomach I had for days afterwards of that. If you compare it to what I did in 2009 in the British Open, the pit in my stomach was gone after 24 hours. The pit in my stomach after watching the Ryder Cup loss two years ago stuck with me for a number of days.
Q. You touched on yesterday Tiger being healthy and wanting to see how he's playing if he's playing well. Specifically what signs are you monitoring with him coming back as soon as he has?
TOM WATSON: I'll be watching Tiger as he plays. He'll be playing at the Open Championship. Hope to get together with him there and tell him my feelings about him direct. As I've said in front of the press, if he's playing well and he's healthy, he's on the team. Right now he's way down the list as far as points, but who wouldn't pick Tiger Woods to be on your Ryder Cup team? That is the question to everybody. Who wouldn't pick him?
Q. Staying on that topic, there is a potential scenario in which Tiger doesn't qualify for the FedExCup playoffs and wouldn't be playing for a month and a half or two months before the Ryder Cup. You said if he's playing well. What if he's not playing at all, would he still be considered a possible pick?
TOM WATSON: He'll be considered less of a pick then if he didn't have a track record going into the Ryder Cup, Of course. He'd be the first to tell you, I haven't been playing. Like I said, how he's been playing and if he's healthy, those are the two factors that I'll weigh in choosing. That's just common sense in my opinion.
Q. If you had to pick your players today, who would your three captains choices be?
TOM WATSON: You, Julius, and Smiley. I don't know. It's way too early to tell. I can't make that decision until I know who the nine are on the team. Can't do it.
Q. Obviously, you're here to see some of these players at the Greenbrier. How many tournaments do you get to go to to see candidates face‑to‑face?
TOM WATSON: Five, five tournaments, but I've been watching on TV too. I've been in serious discussions with my vice captain Andy North and Ray Floyd, my other vice captain.
Q. Talking about the three new bees. Talk about the pressure of playing the Ryder Cup compared to maybe a major. Some of them have played well in the majors. Is it more intense this Ryder Cup that they'll face?
TOM WATSON: I think so. I'd have to say that I played under a little bit less pressure in my first Ryder Cup than I did in subsequent Ryder Cups. We were expected to win in '77, and it actually was pretty close after the first day. We had five matches the first day, and that was all we had.
As it progressed, I played in '89, was captain in '93. The pressure was more elevated then than it was when I first started. As a rookie, you go in and if you're young, your nerves can probably take it. On the other hand, that's part of the deal. Every Ryder Cup is going to have new players on the team, and you look at the European team, Sergio has been on the team for I don't know how many years but he was a rookie once. I'm sure he was tight. Rookies get tight. That's what they do. All it takes is one shot sometimes just to relieve that tension. One shot under pressure, and yeah, I got it. That's what it was with me.
Q. Of the three that you mentioned that are newbies, Patrick Reed and Jimmy Walker are a bit older. How do you weigh the risk versus reward of taking such a young guy who is also pretty talented?
TOM WATSON: We're all playing the same game. But the experience factor of being just on the team is the difference. When you're playing the Ryder Cup on a team playing matches, it's a different format and you're playing for yourself. But in reality, you're still playing the golf course the way you would play an individual match. You're playing the golf course. You have an opponent over here. As my granddad told me about Match Play when I was just a youngster. He said, in Match Play, son, grandson, you've got to play the golf course first and your opponent second. Don't ever lose track of playing the golf course.
In the Ryder Cup pressure, one of the things about pressure, it makes you go faster and makes your decisions go a little bit faster. That's really affected me, and to be able to slow down, have a breather and laugh a little bit more and you can eliminate some of the pressure. That's what I hope that I'll bring and I can identify a leader on the team to bring that, but let that play out. Europeans have a great camaraderie. Our teams have a great camaraderie. That's part of the great memories that you have playing in the Ryder Cup team, the camaraderie you have with the players. The way you get to know them a little bit differently because you're playing for a purpose, not against them, but with them, for them.
You've really got‑‑ it really to me the most enjoyable part of it and that element of it is that everybody is playing as one. Don't forget, when you tee up in the first tee, you're playing the golf course, and you put it to the test one more time.
Q. How often are you having contact with potential team members? Are you calling them? Are there text messages, email?
TOM WATSON: Uh‑huh.
Q. How often?
TOM WATSON: More and more. I can't really say how often. One of the things I am going to do and have done over the last several weeks is to invite the players here ‑‑ a good group of players pretty far down the list to come to prior to the British Open to play the practice round at the Centenary Course at Gleneagles. Right now there are four or five players that will be over there to play. They'll be there Saturday and Sunday and a few will show up to play a practice round there, and then we head down to Hoylake for the Open Championship.
I thought that was a good thing to do, and it gives them a chance to get used to the time change going over to the Open Championship. But also, it used to‑‑ you get to see the course at least once before they get there or potentially get there. Not all of these players are in the top six or top 5 right now. The players right now that are probably going to make it, if you look at the list right here, you can probably go down to Jim Furyk, the top 6. Those six will probably make the team.
Things could happen that could change, but you look at that. Then you've got 500 points difference between Jim Furyk and Rickie Fowler, and that's where it gets a little tight. But I've asked all these players to come. Most of them can't make it because they're playing either the Scottish Open or the John Deere Classic.
Q. How many players have you invited or about how many players and who are the players that have accepted?
TOM WATSON: Four or five players have accepted and we don't need to go over that. But I've gone down to about the top 20, somewhere in that neighborhood.
Q. Do you think the course being a Nicklaus design will play an advantage for Americans?
TOM WATSON: Well, no. Actually, I think the Europeans have an advantage on this golf course. It's hosted the Johnny Walker Championship and other championships before. Some of these players, the European players have played that golf course in competition, played it four, five six times, maybe 12 times. I don't think anybody on our team right here has played that course once. That is an advantage.
That's just the way the Europeans pick their Ryder Cup sites. It's usually a site where they've held the European Tour tournament, so their players are more familiar with the golf course for the Ryder Cup.
Q. Speaking of advantage captain, European Captain, Paul McGinley, announced the order of play not too long ago with four‑ball in the morning, foursomes in the afternoon. That is the exact opposite of what it was when you were captain in '93. Is there an advantage or something you prefer going into the matches?
TOM WATSON: I think it's better to go four‑ball first than alternate shot. Personally, that is the way I like it.
JULIUS MASON: Ironically you've never had that choice where it seems like you've been captain overseas where the European captains pick to play that format.
Ladies and gentlemen, on the calendar on Monday after the PGA Championship, Captain Watson will be in the interview room at 9:00 o'clock after the PGA Championship to talk about the nine players that have made the team after the PGA Championship, and on Tuesday, September 2 in New York City, Captain Watson will announce the three captain picks he has to round out the Ryder Cup team. That's September 26 to 28.
Q. (Indiscernible)?
JULIUS MASON: September 2.
Q. This is a non‑Ryder Cup question. Have you shot your age in competition yet?
TOM WATSON: Yes.
Q. Where did you do that?
TOM WATSON: 63 at Newport Beach Country Club in the Toshiba Classic in the second round, the Saturday round this year. I broke my age, I shot 62, I'm 64 years old. Not bad for an old guy.
I thought that was really cool too. It's funny, because just to tell you a little story. My caddie, Neil Oxman, is a great baseball fan, and I am too. I love baseball. He's a Phillies fan. I'm a Royals fan. I started off the day, and I'm haggling around and I make a birdie. I make a 25‑footer for par, number 6. Now I'm 5‑under par. It's par 71. Don't remember exactly what it was. But I remember coming off the 7th green, and I made a 12‑footer that broke about this much, downhill, left‑to‑right putt, center cut. And if I parred the last two holes then I knew I'd shoot my age. I was walking off the green and looked at Neil, and he said, Don't say anything. It's just like a pitcher with a no‑no going. You go to the end of the bench and you don't say anything.
Q. (Indiscernible)?
TOM WATSON: I don't know. I parred the 8th hole of the par‑3 and a long two‑putt up there close. Then on number 9, I had to make par at number 9, and I knocked it into the left of the rough a little bit, had a flier. I didn't know what was going to happen with the ball. I hit what turned out to be a good shot. It came about 20 feet short, and I drained that putt to shoot 63.
JULIUS MASON: If it wasn't for the no applause policy in the media center interview, I'm quite sure there would be a standing ovation right now for that particular feat, Mr.Watson?
TOM WATSON: Bob Gilbert shot a 63 last week, he shot his age at Fox Chapel. We old guys can play. You know that saying that these guys can play, these guys are good? Yeah, us old guys are good too at times. We're like old broken‑down race horses though. We can't compete with the thoroughbreds.
Q. I apologize for going back to the Ryder Cup, but Phil Mickelson fell out of the top nine a few weeks ago. Have you spoken to Phil, and are you concerned about his game going into the stretch run here?
TOM WATSON: Well, Phil has had some struggles with his putting, I know that, as I watched. In the game, there are ebbs and flows in the game. Knowing Phil, he'll probably have some way to have it fixed and make enough points to be on the team. If not, certainly he'll be a serious consideration, obviously. He's played on Ryder Cup teams, and last time he played well at Medinah.
JULIUS MASON: Captain Watson, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much for joining us today.
TOM WATSON: Thank you all.

Florida Growers say they won't abide by historic McDonalds, Farm workers agreement
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
The largest group of Florida tomato growers yesterday rejected a recent deal between McDonalds and the Coalition for Immokalee Workers that would pay field workers more for the fruit they pick. The Florida Tomato Growers Exchange says participating in the highly-publicized labor deals may be unlawful and it has concerns about violations of state and federal antitrust, labor and even racketeering laws. Reggie Brown is Executive Vice President of that organization. It's an agriculture cooperative that represents about 90% of the tomato growers in the state. (roll tape#1 o.q."in those arrangements") This move has the Coalition of Immokalee Workers crying foul. Julia Perkins is a spokesperson for the group. She says after McDonalds, and previously Taco Bell had made agreements with the CIW, the Exchange's news is disappointing (roll tape#2 o.q."tomato Committee")
The Florida Tomato Growers Exchange isn't very specific about what types of legal problems might ensue if they agree to start paying Florida Farmworkers more per 32 pound bucket. But Reggie Brown says that they're already getting paid a decent living wage (roll tape#3 o.q."part of our business") The Coalition of Immokalee Workers has had success first with Yum Brands, the corporate parent of Taco Bell, and most recently with McDonalds, by making their demands rather modest. The CIW says all they're asking for is an increase of a penny per pound in picking tomatoes. They say the extra penny would boost their pay to 77 cents a bucket, up from the 45 cents they were getting paid. Julia Perkins (roll tape#4 o.q" to eat") For their part, McDonalds says they're committed to working with suppliers and workers to improve working and living conditions. WMNF asked Yum Brands for comment. Just in the last week, the Kentucky based corporation announced an expansion of their 2005 agreement with the Farmworkers with their other brands: KFC, Pizza Hut, Long John Silver's and A&W All-American Foods. Their corporate headquarters issued a statement, which says in part, "Taco Bell's penny per pound agreement with the CIW costs approximately $110,000 per year. The extension to the other YUM brands will cost just a fraction of that amount. We hope other major restaurants and supermarkets will follow YUM's lead by paying a penny per pound more for Florida tomatoes to help the tomato workers. But Reggie Brown says his growers aren't obligated to any of those corporations to pay a higher wage (roll tape#5 o.q."to be illegal") Julia Perkins from the CIW says that her group, which consists of roughly 3,500 members, has worked successfully with Yum Brands and Taco Bell for the past 2 years, and say they look forward to working with the other brands associated with Yum.(roll tape#6 o.q."the growers will have to answer as well") An economics professor at the University of Florida, John Van Sickle, told In These Times Magazine earlier this year, that their deal with the CIW will cost the company less than $1 million, not a huge sum for a firm that made a $3.5 billon profit last year.

In the great mining depression of 1983, I survived by returning to South Africa to work in the mining industry. I will always be grateful to the people and the industry that made it possible for me to pay the mortgage at 18.6 percent and keep the Vancouver kids fed and clothed.
The current economic situation does not yet seem to be putting many North American mining industry folk out of work and we hope it stays that way. But still it is instructive to take a look at the jobs in mining in Africa, just in case you have to do what I did nearly 25 years ago.
As always my source of information is CareerMine. When I last looked there were some 1,091 mining-related jobs in Africa in their list. South Africa accounted for 814 of them, with but 47 in the Congo, 16 in Zambia, 16 in Namibia, 11 in Tanzania, 11 in Madagascar, 10 in Mozambique, 8 in Mali, 8 in Niger, and 7 in Guinea.

I guess you are correct. I was just thinking that 4 billion is not less
than 0.
I just discovered nana. It appears you to do much the same stuff that
is in Eiffel in C.
I can put an invariant condition around the loop and all should be
good!!!! Now that I disovered what was wrong with my code of curse,
it shouldn't be much of a problem now.
Well, I need to check it out. I am a little tired now. Probably should
get some rest before I annoy everyone on the list with half field antics.

Zumo 550 Cradle issues?
I did some fairly hard trail riding over the weekend (including some light water splashes), left the 550 on my bike so I could play music. The zumo was working fine, shut the bike off a half dozen times during the ride. Eventually i noticed that the GPS was off and would not power on.
Once I got home I was able to start checking it out. I have power going to the cradle. The 550 works fine in the car mount and plugged into my computer. The pins on the cradle are clean with no corrosion. the GPS pin connectors are clean with no corrosion. the power wire to the cradle is clean with no corrosion.
I took the cradle apart to see if the circuit had any damage and there was no visible burn marks, the ribbons were in tact with no damage and the inside of the cradle was clean and dry. And once I put the GPS back together again it powered up in the motorcycle cradle again.
I have isolated the issue to two possible reasons, either the GPS battery went so dead when I left it on while the bike was off that it wouldnt turn back on, or the cradle is somehow damaged. I dont know and I cant replicate the issue now.
My real question, because I searched and couldnt find an answer: I am doing some light trail riding (trans NJ or WV trail) starting 11 Sep for a few days. Should I go ahead and order a new cradle or should I risk keeping the old cradle and hope it doesnt break again.

Zumo 550 Cradle issues
I usually have problems with mine after a ride in the rain. I drown the cradle contact pins with WD-40 and work it in by pushing the pins and that usually clears it up for me. It's a piss poor design having the pins facing up to collect water. Good luck.

INDIANAPOLIS — The University of New Hampshire athletic department saw five different sports programs honored Wed., May 12, as recipients of 2009-10 NCAA Public Recognition Awards for its efforts in the classroom.
The teams receiving the honor for the Wildcats' were: men's soccer, men's outdoor track and field, gymnastics and women's indoor and outdoor track and field.
UNH was also outstanding among teams in the America East Conference finishing second with five conference teams honored.
Each year the NCAA honors selected Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear APR. This announcement is part of the overall Division I academic reform effort and is intended to highlight teams who demonstrate a commitment to academic progress and retention of student-athletes by achieving the top APRs within their respective sports. Specifically, these teams posted multiyear APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads in each sport.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.

Miguel Cabrera intends to be in the lineup Friday
Aug 29, 2013, 8:50 PM EDT
Miguel Cabrera gave the Tigers quite the scare this afternoon when he was forced to exit with abdominal discomfort following an awkward slide into second base in the fifth inning, but just like with his recent nagging injuries, he plans to play through the pain.
According to Bobby NIghtengale of MLB.com, Cabrera said after today's game that he intends to be in the lineup tomorrow night when the team begins a three-game series against the second-place Indians.
"I'm OK," Cabrera said. "I'll play tomorrow. Don't worry."
Tigers manager Jim Leyland said that Cabrera was dealing with pain from his abdomen to his groin, which is why he grabbed at his left leg/knee area after the slide. With his mobility severely limited, it would probably be a good idea for him to take a few days off. And while he doesn't intend to miss any time right now, that could happen if the Tigers create a little more distance between themselves and the Indians this weekend. They are up six games at the moment. Of course, taking some days off down the stretch may hurt Cabrera's chances for a second straight Triple Crown, but this team has designs on redemption after getting swept in the World Series last year.
Cabrera currently leads the American League with a .359 batting average and 130 RBI. He ranks second with 43 home runs, just four behind the Orioles' Chris Davis.

Oh, I guess DJ wants to be the one to tell Miggy he can't play. How big a boy are you?
- proudlycanadian - Aug 29, 2013 at 9:42 PM
He has been playing hurt all month. He wants to continue to help his team by playing. That is what MVP's do.
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - Aug 30, 2013 at 10:43 AM
There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity, and it is usually determined by the outcome. If a few days off in September helps him heal up for October, that may be a course of action worth exploring.
- mudhead123 - Aug 29, 2013 at 11:47 PM
This is very unselfish. He will miss the post season because he isn't siting to heal, but he is making sure they win the division by 20+ games
- brianbowman16 - Aug 30, 2013 at 12:25 AM

i am telling you its damn easy and will take only about 30 mins max if you have everything you will need in hand !!
Things You Will Need :
1) 7 Segment LED (8 if you include the dot)
2) 5 Pin connector
3) 3V Coin cell
4) Coin Battery Holder
5) Hot Glue Gun or solder iron (glue gun would be much easier)
6) Double side tape
7) A ring (preferably flat - cylindrical)
Step 1: Basic introduction to 7 segment LED
See the pic below
> Every Red line indicated that its positive.
> Green lines indicated its the Ground or Negative.
> Each Pin Corresponds to a particular LED on the 7 segment.
> a,b,c,d,e,f,g as marked in the diagram below.
There are 2 types of 7 segment leds .. Anodic and Cathodic..
No issues seriously.. its just the polarity difference..
In the other type.. all reds will have to be ground and green will be positive.
Connect the green to ground. Then to which ever pin you give a positive supply of 3V that corresponding LED will glow !
Step 2: Selecting Pins
My name is CP Sridhar.. so i made the rings to display my initial "C" and "P"
> All you need to do is find what all pins you need to display the letter you want and cut off the rest.
(DO NOT CUT OFF THE GROUND PINS BY MISTAKE !! You Need Them)
>You can either cut these pins now.. else you can cut off the wires coming out from the 5 pin connector which i will explain in the next step..
I found some of these 7 segment LEDs for cheap by de-soldering them from an old dart board I found at Goodwill
Except if i'd invert the LED 90 degrees and use |_|_|. I'd have wear the two rings on different hands to prevent they won't bump into eachother because of the invertion which gives it a lot more width.. What do you think?

AIDS HAS spread south from East Africa to Zimbabwe. At the start of May, the country's health ministry announced that Zimbabwe now had 2375 confirmed cases of full-blown AIDS - three times the official total nine months before. President Robert Mugabe said in his independence day speech that AIDS has become one of the country's five major problems.
