Video - Phil Mickelson came so close to history at The Open
Former champion Phil Mickelson equalled the lowest score in major championship history after agonisingly lipping out with a putt to claim the outright record in the Open Championship at Royal Troon.
Mickelson, who has not won since lifting the Claret Jug at Muirfield in 2013, needed to hole from 15 feet on the 18th to card a nine-under-par 62, only to see his attempt catch the edge of the hole and stay out.
The 46-year-old could barely believe it as he had to settle for a flawless 63 and a three-shot lead over compatriot Patrick Reed, with Mickelson admitting he finish his glorious round feeling frustrated.
"To play this round and come away feeling like I want to cry is strange," said Mickelson.
"It was a wonderful round and we had some great conditions to shoot a low score out there.
"To have a chance to shoot 62 and create history, it is tough to see that slipping away. I just don't know how the putt missed. I felt I had it perfect."
Mickelson, who finished a shot outside the play-off the last time the Open was staged at Troon in 2004, had never shot lower than 66 in the Open before, with his last such score sealing victory three years ago.
But the left-hander took advantage of the wind dropping in the afternoon to card four birdies on the front nine and four more on the back as he looks to follow in the footsteps of compatriots Arnold Palmer, Tom Weiskopf, Tom Watson, Mark Calcavecchia, Justin Leonard and Todd Hamilton in winning the Open at the Ayrshire venue.
That would make him the fourth oldest major champion ever and the oldest at the Open since Old Tom Morris, who was just two months older than Mickelson when winning in 1867.
Mickelson is the ninth player to card a round of 63 at The Open and here are the other eight:
Mark Hayes, 1977 (Turnberry)
Isao Aoki, 1980 (Muirfield)
Greg Norman, 1986 (Turnberry)
Paul Broadhurst, 1990 (St. Andrews)
Jodie Mudd, 1991 (Birkdale)
Nick Faldo, 1993 (St George's)
Payne Stewart, 1993 (St George's)
Rory McIlroy, 2010 (St Andrews)
This was the moment when Mickelson came within a fraction of golfing history:

Recently, it has come to my attention that there are certain invididuals on Wikia and in the wider online community, including a formerly active administrator of this site, who do not appear to understand our purpose or why things are the way they are here. I regard these claims as unfair and I seek to answer them in this post.
Claim 1: "Anything can be posted" on Avatar Wiki
This is false, and is a slight to the hard work a multitude of users here have put in to continuing to build our core content, and maintaining our policies and standards. I am confident that our encyclopedia is one of the highest-quality resources on Wikia, and is the only comprehensive resource on Avatar on the Internet. We have managed to maintain an unrivalled quality of accuracy over the years as virtually every single edit on this wiki is checked by another user within several minutes, or at least several hours, of that edit being made. In fact, I stand so strongly beside the reputation of our written material that I will say that I believe our encyclopedia to be a higher in quality than even giants such as Harry Potter Wiki and Narutopedia.
It is not only in the area of core content where we have displayed a preference for not allowing just "anything". We have also developed strong, but fair restrictions on article comments, blog posts etc. — essentially, every part of the site users can post material on has its relevant limits on what can be posted and has basic standards as to the quality of the posted material. Image copyrights, in particular, are enforced very tightly and unused images are cleared out much more regularly than any other wiki of this size that I have seen. Administrators, assisted in certain areas by rollback users and fanon administrators, very regularly and very diligently delete material that does not adhere to our policies. Where it would simply be too harsh to simply delete, messages are given urging the improvement of posted material.
Claim 2: Avatar Wiki "has turned to a fanfiction [sic] site"
Such a claim is categorically untrue. Statistics, commenting activity and Facebook "like" activity all demonstrate that this is not primarily a fan fiction site. The most popular pages on this wiki have always been, and will remain our encyclopedic articles. For example, our most viewed page by far at this present time is our article on The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra. Our most viewed fan fiction articles, while popular, receive not even one tenth of the visitors that our most popular encyclopedic articles receive. Avatar Wiki is not a fan fiction site — it is a site that allows and encourages fan fiction as something complementary. Has the presence of fan fiction decreased the quality of our encyclopedia? Has it caused a mass emigration of users not interested in fan fiction? I think the answers to both those questions are crystal clear.
No. Our policies make clear this point: "Avatar Wiki is a wiki, not a social networking site." Avatar Wiki is a multipurpose community site with very strong favour given to its encyclopedia, which is the focus and the centre. Information is much more important than the individual, and we have demonstrated that strongly with our gradually increasing restrictions on user pages. No-one with more than 2,000 edits here does not contribute to our encyclopedia, or our maintenance of that encyclopedia. That is telling.
I am of the opinion that having social features (but not a full social network) has improved our ease of transition into editing, and has improved the rate at which readers become regular writers and editors. Our standard of writing on our encylopedia articles has been achieved through having more users per article than a vast majority of other wikis. Our proportion of regular editors (editors of mainspace canon articles, no less) to the reading audience is far higher than Harry Potter Wiki, Narutopedia or WoWWiki. Why is that? Because we make it easier for users to stick around on the wiki, by giving them colour rather than the black and white of a pure encyclopedia. We are realistic where others are overly idealistic: not everyone is born an academic.
Management of a wiki is about finding balance. Arguing shrilly for the ideal, non-social, thesis-standard pure encyclopedia will only leave those interested in the project wondering why they can't seem to net a larger community and gain more editing interaction. On the other hand, going all the way towards becoming a social network is destructive, non-productive, and based on the evidence, clearly is not practised here. That is all.

I haven't got too much to say this evening, but I'm always surprised that a lot of the more interesting Nike apparel hasn't made a return in these thrift-and-resell hype days. Some old creations resurrected using Tech Fleece or F.I.T. fabrics with accompanying shoes from the eras? I'd be down. Though it's unlikely that I could pull off a Sharks basketball vest. These snippets of catalogue line art from between 1987 and 1988 are the tip of a particularly lurid and excessively patterned iceberg. Continue reading MORE OLD GARMS

The adidas Equipment line has long been a preoccupation of mine because there seems to be so many stories behind the whole collection. I remember the bags and sweatshirts being popular around my way (and Common wearing the sweat when he was Common Sense) after adidas seemed to be solely discussed in old school terms. Over time I appreciate the shoes as pieces of industrial design, but it's a collection that brings arch-rival brands Nike and adidas together like never before. Peter Moore, who was brought into the Nike fold by marketing man Rob Strasser, was a key part of the team (as Nike's creative director) to fight back against Reebok's reign over Nike in 1984 by creating the Air Jordan I and its related campaign.
Moore was also half of the design team (with Bruce Kilgore) behind the less successful (but brilliant) Air Jordan II, a mastermind when it came to selling visible Nike Air and he designed the Jumpman before he and Strasser left Nike in 1987, leaving the design duties on that line to a former architect he recruited called Tinker. For those achievements alone (and it's worth noting that Moore himself doesn't consider himself much of a shoe designer), immortality in the industry was guaranteed to some degree. Leaving to start their own company (and apparently making an attempt to get MJ on board too), Sport Incorporated, with Benetton, Taylor Made and PF Flyer as clients, they took on the inner-city market targeting VanGrack brand, that used MC Shan as a frontman for a promo video. Then Rene Jaggi — chairman of adidas — got in touch in summer 1989, asking for a meeting.
In the era of technology wars and brand battling, adidas was suffering. Now, designs like the ZX 8000 are considered classics, but beyond core European markets who were 3-stripe loyal, the brand was losing money and found itself in an unfocused situation that had killed its visibility in the USA. While Reebok's position at the time was strong (this was the year of Pump) the very things that Moore, Strasser and Mr. Hatfield had created had done some serious damage to adidas's share of the industry.
The situation was grave enough that the Sport Incorporated team, leaving Portland for onetime enemy territory in Germany, proposed an anti-glamour, pure performance, no-bullshit approach to the top-tier products with a name that was defiantly fashion-free, Equipment ("The best of adidas"). Every discipline would get its own flagship shoes in a new colour palette with a new logo that was created with Moore creative directing and legendary adidas designer Jacques Chaissaing (creator of the ZX 500 and Forum) bringing them to life. Cottons and nylons on apparel and bags would be picked for their quality and the notion of the ultimate didn't mean extra technologies — one of the tenets of the original designs was to use the 3-stripes as support features whenever possible so they actually functioned. This wasn't heresy — it was an attempt to bring the spirit of Adi Dassler's vision of sportswear as a tool back to the company.
Moore never seemed to have much love for the fairly recent Torsion Bar technology, but it was present in the original March 1991 rollout and first few seasons as part of the original Guidance, Support and Cushion, but would be altered dramatically in the next year for the new interpretations of those three shoes (named, appropriately matter of factly, after the main purpose of each design). EQT (which even released its own jeans) seemed like a retaliation to ACG's then-popularity. There was EQT football, rugby, basketball, tennis, badminton and much more — each linked by a certain refinement and advertised in a particularly no-nonsense way.
That adidas were willing to let the colours get switched (reds and blues would be added over time) was significant but letting the man behind the Jumpman change the logo from the trefoil to the stripes was an indication of how open they were to solutions as a new decade started. Moore and Strasser felt that the trefoil represented another new category they'd been discussion — Originals, which would be upgraded lifestyle versions of classics that capitalised on an interest in classic adidas at the time. Sadly, Rob Strasser would pass away in late 1993, but Moore would stay with adidas until 1998, and remains a consultant to the company.
That gap between Originals and Equipment would, in the decades that followed when what was once a shock of the new became the stuff of nostalgia, stop the series from being retroed, bar a scattering of shoes. How could Originals put out the product that drew that line in the sand that determined that it couldn't be Originals? It's good to see that issue resolved, just as it's good to see the shoes brought back in an appropriately no-bullshit way.
One of my favorite things about the Equipment line is this video from 1990, cut to We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel and assailing the viewer with a montage of Nike, Reebok, ASICS, Geraldo, Mr T, Tyson, Rambo, Madonna and much more. Made for internal use to give either employees or potential retailers a sense of what EQT was meant to be a reaction to.
If you're looking for anything longer than a few paragraphs tonight, go look at this piece on Hypebeast instead (if you're a Jordan/LeBron signature series fan). I think I forgot to mention that the NBA seemed to be a far more brutal place in 1990, where MJ would have to face bruisers like Charles Oakley and Bill Laimbeer — I'm not sure if LJ could flourish in that climate. That proven ability in a more extreme incarnation of the league gives his franchise extra value.
I think our Reebok Shoe drops in a couple of weeks. Shouts to Reebok for letting me put a prison and borstal theme (it's envisioned as some kind of standard issue footwear in a jail from a parallel universe where sportswear brands vie for shoe contracts*) on a Reebok Classic to let me homage the shoe's less salubrious past in the UK and overseas. I apologise in advance for it hitting the £100+ mark too (I think that's what it retails at) — I wanted amazing leather and a custom stitched canvas material and forgot that they both cost more, which can happen when you're given full run of the factory fabrics creatively. There's stories to it (more on that next month) but I'll be damned if I'm giving it a nickname. I like this prison arrow intersection at the front a lot though.
Visiting the Black Market Clash exhibition earlier this week, seeing Paul Simonon's broken bass from the London Calling cover was cool, but the tiger stripe camo shirts (among other military gear from the Combat Rock period of the band's history) was a personal highlight. The Sandinista and Combat Rock era was a great little subcultural intersection — between Futura, that camouflage picture disc and Strummer onstage with the Travis Bickle inspired hairdo and tiger pattern in 1982, a lot of my favourite things converged right there. And that's before we even discuss the great music or the hours I've spent trying to make myself enjoy Alex Cox's Straight To Hell. The Clash were the best dressed band of all time and it's good to see that Mick Jones and co can still dress, rather than degenerating into picture postcard punks with receding temples. The Google Play videos on that period are interesting too.
*I just made that up.
British skaters are getting it bad this week from the press. The week started with the usually likeable Billy Bragg defending the Southbank against those pesky kids and turning it into a class war (and getting himself thrown out of Slam City Skates for causing a scene) situation as part of the Southbank Centre's decision to win a debate by rolling out people who incite you to flick to QVC when the crop up on the BBC's Glastonbury coverage. To end it, the Evening Standard's ES magazine unleashed its own awkward take on skate chic, with puns in the header and a miserable looking model awkwardly clad in high-end and low-end cluelessness. A mall grab would have been the perfect finishing touch, because fake skater is very in right now — I haven't seen these levels of grommet fashion section infiltration since the 1980s. This is the outfit that an undercover cop might sport to bust a skatepark weed dealer. Don't be surprised if Julian Lloyd-Webber disguises himself in it for the next round of Southbank/skater skirmishes.
You can actually unsee the outfit above by spending some time reading this excellent Red Bull Music Academy piece on the Zoo York Mixtape and checking out the FWDMTN/Forward Motion auctions for Heart Research UK in memory of king of the North-East, Steve 'Bingo' Binks. If, like me, you eat off skate culture, but you don't want to come off like the Evening Standard's idea of a skater, then you owe it to yourself to click here or on the image to see the auctions, where there's some Nike SB hype, Vans Syndicate rarities, signed reissue decks and some Supreme goodness to bid on. Salutes to all who put this together and contributed. This kind of thing is what pointless polemic in a broadsheet will always omit — skateboarding is one of the few activities where everybody knows somebody who knows somebody and in that can be used to raise some money for a good cause. R.I.P. Bingo and Bod.
Why is the Slam City affiliated Holmes brand that Russell Waterman, Sofia Prantera, Ben Sansbury and James Jarvis brought to life pre-Silas pretty much excluded from the internet? Looking for some of the old Jarvis Holmes catalogue reminded me of how much better the now defunct Select magazine's Greed section was in showcasing gear that Slam City stocked. Back in summer 1994, this spread had me scheming ways to get hold of this shirt.
This guy's 1989-era multiple brand bootleg sweatshirt is a crime against authenticity, but it's so blasphemous that it reminds me of a happy time when Fila and Troop were way out your price range and this kind of thing was peddled in some fly-by-night retailers. The do-it-yourself pirate collaboration to end them all got phased out beyond holiday resorts eventually, but the brand gang bang prints went harder than most of the contemporary apparel from sportswear brands.
Farewell Tony Scott. Underappreciated and considered a maestro of the overstylised, his movies were always interesting. What's wrong with an excess of style anyway? I never put a tape of any of his films into the VHS expecting 'Kes.' For matters of disclosure, I hate 'Top Gun' — it's boring, hi-fiving rubbish and no better than 'Iron Eagle' or any of its sequels. I hate 'Days of Thunder' too. But there's much more to pick from — a corrupt cop losing his fingers to Denzil's angel of vengeance in 'Man on Fire' (incidentally, I'm also a fan of the messier 1987 movie of the same name too which Tony Scott was originally set to direct) , Bruce Willis making like Prodigy and rocking his assailant in the face and stabbing his brain with his nosebone in 'The Last Boy Scout' and the Drexl Spivey interrogation (Tarantino's script but Scott gives it a final buff that makes it better) in 'True Romance' and the end of the slightly underrated 'Revenge' that's typically glossy but packs an emotional punch (though it's more effective if you've actually watched the movie). Then there's 1983's Bowie-tastic 'The Hunger' (above) with the gothiest opening scene ever. The new wave of bloodsuckers can't compete with this vampiric new wave moment — the font, the lighting, Bowie, Peter Murphy, psycho monkeys, Catherine Deneuve in Yves Saint Laurent (and trust me, even if 'The Hunger' was the only thing Scott ever directed, for the impact the Sarandon and Deneuve love scene had on my pre-pubescent mind alone, I'd be mourning his passing) basically makes it the most black painted bedroom friendly 6-minutes of cinema ever. Bela Lugosi was dead, but this next breed of bloodsucker was a great deal more menacing. Ignore the usual bro fodder when it comes to celebrating Tony Scott's life and there's gems. Am I the only one who likes at least 50% of 'Domino' too? What's that? I am? Okay then. Each to their own.
Tony Scott put Mickey Rourke on during his early to mid 2000s comeback trail, but I'm currently obsessing over his straight-to-video era, post 'Wild Orchid' and pre 'Buffalo 66'. Rourke's presence at any stage of his career is undeniable and this 1994 portrait by Michel Comte for 'L'Uomo Vogue' is amazing. The manliest of hand holding (check the dual watch wearing) and Mickey matching a Marlboro with adidas tracksuit bottoms and two-tone wingtips is a tremendous look. You need to be Rourke to make that unemployed look actually work for you though. He might dress a little Eastern-Europe theme pub now when he's hitting Stringfellows, but there was a point when this guy couldn't not look cool. (Image from Photographers' Limited Editions)
For a short while I thought I dreamt up this photoshoot, but this 1992 'People' article image of Phil Knight slam-dunking in Jordan Vs is every shade of awesome. Reluctant to get in the limelight, this picture is a rare super-animated publicity image of the Nike co-founder. Having read several accounts of Knight's competitiveness on the court, that expression on his face is no surprise.
The downfall of many a product (sometimes an entire brand) is the fonts. Mr. Maxime Büchi is a mastermind when it comes to letterforms and with the new 'Sang Bleu' arriving shortly, he's putting out some shirts with some fine typography without resorting to tattooing cliches. I need to transcribe an hour-long conversation with Maxime for another site at some point in the next few days. Gotta love that overachieving Swiss-born madman. In the meantime, go to SangBleu.com to see how you can get a tee. (Image swaggerjacked straight from the mxmttt Instagram account)
And via my friends in Las Vegas I just found out that Jim Jones' Vampire Life brand and French Montana's Coke Boys brand are exhibiting at the same time. Is streetwear beef going to make a return?
(Mike Tyson on the hotel room phone in Jordan IIIs circa 1989.)
I'm back from Canada and I can barely see because of the jetlag. The human body is pathetic. So pathetic that I thought it was Saturday yesterday and forgot to update this blog. I can't say much about my Arc'teryx visit other than that witnessing the factory process upped my appreciation of the brand's output and that I know more about GORE-TEX taping now than I knew last Wednesday. As a fiend for those Gore membranes in a jacket or shoe, it was borderline Wonka-like to see the processes, even though GORE-TEX itself, minus the shell or lining, is just an anonymous white sheet.
I'd wondered about the jacket Michael Jordan (not a stranger to bizarre sartorial choices) wore on his September 1991 'Saturday Night Live' appearance — a strange green quilted design, but the little Tinker Hatfield piece in the new US 'GQ' solves that mystery. "At one point I pushed for a less sporty sub-brand called Jordan Beyond. When Michael did SNL in '91, he wore a Jordan beyond quilted green jacket. But I couldn't make it happen. I've still got some samples, including a basketball shoe that was perforated like a wingtip."
Jordan Beyond sounds like the genesis of the XI dress shoe concept and what the contemporary models are working with but it certainly seems to be a little at odds with the Jordan VI aesthetic. One day, I'm sure the 'Jordan Beyond' boxset, reproducing that unwearable jacket, will make an appearance. If the JB line had taken off, I'm sure it would have dated badly, but it doesn't sound too far from the Cole Haan LunarGrand strategy, and I like to think it would have included a suit made of marl grey fleece with giant shoulders and Mike's pleated dress pant, polo and wingtip steez in the mix too.
IDEA Books' mailout is the best out there and some of the oddities they obtain are phenomenal. As well as showcasing a Panini Fiorucci sticker album you're unlikely to ever see a again, earlier this year they got hold of Vincent Alan W's (a frequent photographic documenter of gay African-American crews), 'The Bangy Book/New Yorker Street Boys' — a compilation of Vincent's 1988 era snaps of the Bangy/Banjee phenomenon, where hypermasculine goonwear and the "homeboy" look of the time betrayed stereotypes of sexuality (hence the Banjee part of the ball in the seminal 'Paris is Burning'). The nudity's going to alienate, but I can't help but think that Banjee infiltrated hip-hop again during the last decade, resulting in contemporary hip-hop's mess of big tongued shoes and couture cues. A rarity worthy or reappraisal, just because there's not enough imagery of this movement around.
(Images lifted from the IDEA Books scans.)
On that 1980's New York topic, the Leica Bruce Davidson video was cool (and I think I've broken down the impact 'Subway' had on me in installing a healthy fear of NYC on here before)
but I'd never seen this Bruce Davidson Q&A from last year at the Strand bookstore. Worth 52 minutes of your life.
This blog has kind of fallen off, self-sabotaged by its attempts to not be a sports footwear-centric WordPress, but then dwelling on the subject matter a little too often. But self-indulgent talk often echoes the day job and in that job shoes figure heavily. Right now, the heat and a lengthy flight from the west coast to the UK has killed my creativity stone dead, but I was energised by a trip to Nike's WHQ for some work. From my early teens onwards the notion of visiting the Nike Campus sounded like some Willy Wonka business, minus the sinister wig outs on boat rides or bi-polar freak outs that Gene Wilder unleashed on Charlie and his benefit fraud grandfather and having been a few times now, it's a fun place to visit that seems to deify the same kind of nerdery I tend to celebrate here.
Of course, the work and what lies behind doors remains secret, though the Innovation Kitchen, Nike Sports Research Lab and archives are impressive — in fact the archive is basically a geek ground zero that proves, no matter how much you think you've swotted up, you've only seen the tip of a dusty, yellowed, PU and nylon based iceberg. Having been lost on campus twice (to get from the Michael Jordan building to the canteen involves walking by a 7 minute saunter by a lake, football pitch and over a bridge), been chased by a goose and slashed my nose open on a low hanging metal lampshade in the archives these last few days, I've suffered for my art.
Even if you couldn't care less for shoes, the scale's still impressive, but if you follow Nike history, there's plenty to stare at at — even in the receptions of each building. Bill Bowerman's waffle iron, the 1984 NBA letter regarding Jordan's fines, prototype Prestos and AJ1s…it's a lot to take in. Buying Lunar Montreals and NFL shirts by the trolley from the Employee Store was a good use of dollars too, and ultimately — for the casual visitor — the whole setup's pretty much a sportswear theme park. For several employees, I'm sure it's simply a place of work that's frequently disrupted by gawping idiots like me wielding iPhones.
Because I need sleep, I've sold you short here, so here's three bonus images chucked in because they look cool; one of a 1989 plea to get people on NYC's subway post graffiti cleanup, one from a 1970s 'New York' article and a 1982 Timberland ad.
In the name of nostalgia (because it's mostly either excessively indulgent or unremarkable in the rap stakes), the same person that uploaded the 1998 'World Wide Bape Heads Show' has uploaded the 1999 one too. It takes me back to a time of attempting to justify wild prices, the Mo' Wax BB, thick cotton on tees and deranged mark-ups on used gear in Camden market. Musically, I think I actually prefer the Omarion-in-the-lookbook era.

Lame blog title is lame. I know.
Welcome to another monthly blog post that informs the Dead Space wiki community of important updates and what-not. First things first; if you see any wiki feature failure, i.e. images not loading properly, that's not my doing. Wikia is experiencing some problem at their end.
Secondly, how's the new Map Pack? I heard it's a neat addition and judging from Youtube videos, people are loving it. What are your thoughts?
Lastly, I've taken the opportunity to get the community more involved with the administration by submitting any page in this wiki as a featured content. The current project page can be found here, though it is somewhat unfinished. Obviously, the main purpose of this project is to improve the quality (quantity matters but as second priority) of articles in Dead Space Wiki.
What else do you think we could improve on? Shout out and share your ideas with the community! :D

Lovely, sun-splashed, third floor two bedroom condo. Nice period detail, curved windows, marble mantle, original pine floors, newly renovated spacious kitchen and bathroom & W&D in unit. Bedrooms are very sunny and have good closet space. Only a short walk to the Orange Line and the Silver Line, this apartment is very well situated and inviting. Steps away from all that the SE has to offer and a short walk to Symphony and the Back-Bay. Pet friendly.

Auto-responder emails quit working?Asked by AAM_ADMIN on August 24, 2016 at 05:21 PM
Hi There,
I used to get email notifications for my forms when someone had filled them out, but I've stopped getting these emails? Is it because I downgraded my account? or due to some changes that jotform has made?
please let me know.
JotForm Support
Downgrading an account should not affect the functionalities of your form except the limits going lower.
Anyhow, I have found your email in the bounce list: email@example.com
And this is the reason for the error: smtp; 554 4.4.7 Message expired: unable to deliver in 840 minutes.<450 4.2.0 : Recipient address rejected: Greylisted, see http://postgrey.schweikert.ch/help/abmidwives.ca.html>
As it seems, your email address blocked the emails coming form JotForm. And for this reason why JotForm's mailer automatically stopped sending emails to your email address.
One solution I could think of is replace your email sender to email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com, or you can ask your email service provider / IT to have the following information whitelisted: https://www.jotform.com/help/145-Whitelisting-JotMails-IP-Addresses
You can also read more information on how to prevent emails landing in the bounce list from this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/208-How-to-Prevent-Email-Bouncing-Related-Issues

Tri-State Institute Reviews

|1 star
Student & Graduate Reviews (2)
Im a current student graduating in may and if i was to do it all over again i wouldn't. Very UNPROFESSIONAL!!! financial aid a HOT MESS!!! the teachers the students its like a little ghetto fabolous hood. Please dont waste your money or time... Try Herzing , lawson but not tri state. Also credits DO NOT transfer out!!
OMG!! This is the absolute WORST school I've ever attended in my life! The teachers are young and very unprofessional who like to involved themselves in student mess.
There were at least 3 fights among students since I've been attending. The school has NO SECURITY so of course the students just fought until other peers or even teachers could come and break them up!
The dean is nothing but a joke! He is definately not there to help students! He bangs on desk when he can't get his point across and he doesn't listen to students opinions.
This school is soooo unorganized. Several students are to go on there externship in a couple of weeks but the catch is you have to have at least 4 shots before you can go, well, to school never once informed students at registration or orientation that this would be required!
They waited until 6 weeks before we're to go out to tell us! Not to mention those shots range anywhere from $85 to $165 apiece! Then they tell us, "if you don't have them you will not go out"! Does this sound like a school who cares about their students??? I'm warning you PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND this school! You will regret that you did!!!

Shown Here:
Passed House amended (09/26/2006)
Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2006 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to establish the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to coordinate and oversee the acceleration of countermeasure and product advanced research and development.
Requires the Secretary to: (1) facilitate and increase expeditious and direct communication with respect to such research and development; (2) conduct ongoing searches for, and support calls for, potential qualified countermeasures and qualified pandemic or epidemic products; (3) direct and coordinate such research and development activities of HHS; (4) establish strategic initiatives to accelerate such research and development and innovation in priority unmet need areas; and (5) connect interested persons with authorized offices or employees to advise such persons regarding relevant regulatory requirements related to qualified countermeasures or qualified pandemic or epidemic products. Allows the Secretary to award contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements or enter into other transactions to promote: (1) innovation in technologies that may assist such research and development; (2) research on and development of research tools and other devices and technologies; and (3) research to promote strategic initiatives, such as rapid diagnostics, broad spectrum antimicrobials, and vaccine manufacturing technologies.
Authorizes the Secretary to enter into other transactions for countermeasure and product advanced research and development. Gives the Secretary expedited procurement authorities, the authority to expedite peer review, and the authority for personal services contracts. Authorizes the Secretary to require that, as a condition of being awarded a contract, grant, cooperative agreement, or other transaction, a person make available to the Secretary relevant data related to or resulting from such research and development. Exempts the Secretary's authority to enter into contracts from advertising and advance payment requirements.
Allows the Secretary to: (1) use milestone-based awards and payments; (2) make awards to and enter into transactions with highly qualified foreign national persons outside the United States under certain circumstances; (3) establish one or more federally-funded research and development centers or university-affiliated research centers; (4) give priority to the advanced research and development of qualified countermeasures and qualified pandemic or epidemic products that are likely to be safe and effective with respect to the emergency health security needs of children and other vulnerable populations; (5) appoint highly qualified individuals to scientific or professional positions in BARDA without regard to federal provisions governing appointments in the competitive service; (6) appoint special consultants; and (7) accept voluntary and uncompensated services.
Requires the Secretary to withhold from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act specific technical data or scientific information that is created or obtained during the countermeasure and product advanced research and development funded by the Secretary that reveals vulnerabilities of existing medical or public health defenses against biological, chemical, nuclear, or radiological threats.
Authorizes appropriations for FY2007-FY2008.
Requires the Secretary to establish the National Biodefense Science Board to provide expert advice and guidance to the Secretary on scientific, technical, and other matters of special interest to HHS regarding current and future chemical, biological, nuclear, and radiological agents.
(Sec. 4) Includes within the definitions of "qualified countermeasure" and "security countermeasure" an agent to diagnose, mitigate, prevent, or treat harm from organisms that cause an infectious disease. Deems as a qualified countermeasure without further administrative action any countermeasure for a biological agent if the Secretary determines that there is credible evidence that such agent has the potential to cause an epidemic or pandemic that may constitute a public health emergency.
(Sec. 5) Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require the Secretary to establish within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) a team of experts on manufacturing and regulatory activities to provide technical assistance to the manufacturers of qualified countermeasures, security countermeasures, or vaccines if the Secretary determines that a shortage or potential shortage may occur.
(Sec, 6) Allows partial payment on a procurement contract for a security countermeasure for significant milestones or a payment to increase manufacturing capacity. Allows procurement contracts to provide: (1) for advance payments for milestones; (2) that the vendor is the sole and exclusive supplier of the product to the government for a specified period if the vendor is able to satisfy the government's needs; (3) that the vendor establish domestic manufacturing capacity of the product to ensure that additional production is available as necessary; (4) dosing and administration requirements for countermeasures; (5) the amount of funding that will be dedicated by the Secretary for countermeasure research and development; and (6) specifications the countermeasure must meet to qualify for procurement under a contract.

This is the fourth chapter of my fanon, Fanon: Adventures of Li Hua. The main page for the fanon is here
~What Happened Last Time~
Last time on Adventures of Li Hua: Li Hua and Jiha made up. In celebration of them coming to this unknown town, there is a party to be thrown.
Gosh. It's pretty in here. This hut might be small but it had, what I call, character. It was comfy and adorable. There wasn't much in here. There was a desk with a large mirror sitting on top. A chair was under the desk. I looked to my left.
Is someone finally coming? Jiha?
Jiha walked into the hut and did a 360 turn.
"How do I look? A+ or F-?" she said as she walked toward me like a model and turned around and walked back toward a door then turned around and smiled.
"You look soooo pretty! I'll give you an A++ any day," I said with a smile as I got up and gave her a hug. That chair wasn't very soft.
Her hair was curly with a little hump. The makeup was natural, only used to add highlight and to compliment her already great features. Her dress was red, a deep red, with blue shoes. I guess they didn't give her any shoes to change into.
"Blue shoes?"
"Ha, I knew you would say something. I wanted to keep my shoes on. I love these shoes, plus their comfy and are the best dancing shoes I could ask for."
"Okay, ladies, you prepared for the party? It's about to start."
Jiha and I walked out of the hut and pushed the curtain back. We looked around trying to find the party.
"I'm going to take you to where it is. I can tell you don't know."
This women seemed really kind. She was a little pudgy but seemed really happy with herself and kept a smile on her face as we walked to the party's location.
A party just for us. I feel so special.
"These boys will escort you."
I looked up and saw a cute guy. He had roughly shaped brown hair. It looked like he didn't style it or anything but yet it still looked so good. His eyes were brown and he gave me the most charming smile. Talking about melting a girl's heart.
Jiha and I looked at each other and shared a smirk. I knew what she was thinking, They are so cute, We have a treat for tonight. I admit. She's right.
"Hey," he said as he held out his hand with one eyebrow up.
Is he chewing on grass or something?
"Hello, thanks for being my escort. You really didn't have too."
"It's my pleasure madam."
I smiled really big and blushed. Gosh could I look anymore like of an idiot right now.
I looked over at Jiha who was conversating with the guy escorting her. She seemed to like him. Never mind that; I knew she liked him. She looked at me and winked.
"Hello, my fellow people. Today, we have two special guests! I would like to give them a warm welcome before we start"
Everyone applaud as my escort and I came into the hut arm in arm. I smiled and waved at the people. All these friendly faces. Everyone seemed happy and seemed to be so close to each other. Back at the Northern Water Tribe, we all are cool with each other but we're not as close as these people.
Jiha and her escort walked behind us and they both were smiling huge and talking low. By the looks of how close they were and how slow they was trailing behind, I think I could say my friend was in infatuation mode. Aww, isn't that sweet? Looks like someone's got a crush.
My escort whispered in my ear saying, "I'm glad we came here together. Today must be my lucky day because I'm escorting the prettiest girl I've seen in a while."
I blushed and said, "Thank you...um... sir. May I ask what's you name?"
Loud music began to play and people began to gather on at the center of this hut. They all began to dance and sway around. Some where dancing in groups, while some was alone with their partners. Others were dancing with family. The spirit in the room was very happy and lifting. Carefree.
"We dance before we eat! Lets start this celebration right!" said my helpful doctor.
"What's your name!," I yelled
"What? I can't hear you!"
This is just my luck.
"I'm asking what's your name! You never told me your name!" I yelled again, trying to be loud enough that he could hear me above the loud, live band.
"You want to dance? Okay, let's dance," he said as he spun me onto the dance floor. We danced for a while longer until the music finally stopped.
"Okay, ladies, when you came, we could tell you were Water Wribe. Are you both Waterbenders?"
"Yes sir, we are."
"Yep, the best of our age group back home," Jiha said as she Waterbended some water out of a large pot and made it into shapes.
I joined her and started entertaining myself, changing the colors of the water and making shapes. I looked out at the people and could tell they were impressed. I looked at my cute escort and he simply gave me a wink and started to applaud, saying, "You're doing great."
"That's great, girls. I really believe that you are the best," the doctor said with a smirk. He looked paused and looked over his shoulder.
People came out with food. They started passing it out to everyone. I tried to look at people's plates but they had the food covered with grey pots on top.
A slightly young man, about his mid-20s, placed a few plates in front of me.
"Let us eat!"
Everyone started to lift up to top that was covering the food, so I did the same.
Yum! All my favorites were there. I had fish, sea prune stew, arctic hen, and blubbered seal jerky. But the food I was the most excited about was the pickled fish. That dish is a tradition in the Northern Water Tribe and my family always had some on ice.
"Since you both are from the Water Tribe we decided that is it only right to serve your tribe's food. Out of respect, and also to make you feel welcome."
"Thank you, we really appreciate this. You have a lot of my favorites on my plate right now and I don't think I could feel anymore welcome than I do right now. Thank you," I said as I bowed my head to get closer to my spoon and put a spoonful of sea prune stew in my mouth. This is so good. I must thank the chef later.
I looked at my escort again. I gotta know his name.
"You never answered my question."
"What question?," he said with one eyebrow raised.
"What's your..." just before I got out the word "name", a loud banging noise spread throughout the air. I looked around alarmed.
The doctor walked up to the center of the hut and stood on a chair, saying, "Don't be alarmed my friends, some food was dropped by my son. Of course, kids being kids, he thought to start a food fight with some other kids."
He looked at me and said "What was my what?"
"Li Hua! I gotta talk to you."
Ughh, can't everything just pause so I can ask him his name?
I put up one finger and gave the "One minute" sign.
I walked over to Jiha and said, "What?"
"Girl, that boy is so adorable. Me and him are going to go out tomorrow afternoon. I'm so excited!"
Are you kidding me?
"Jiha, we need to be on our way tomorrow morning. We can't stay here. We need to try to find our way back home. My parents, and yours for that matter, have to be worried sick," I said with a worried look on my face.
"Come on Li Li, let's stay for a while. I want to get to know him. He's so nice and sweet and..."
"Jiha! Please, we got to be on our way."
"I thought you and that guy were hitting it off."
I looked down at my feet then looked to my left. I turned around and looked at the hut in the distance. I took a deep breath and at the one moment, I felt close to nature. I blushed a little as I said, "We are, but I don't think this is worth pursuing. I mean, we are not from the same background and plus, there's no need to get to know him any further because we will be leaving tomorrow. No ifs, ands, or buts about it."
Jiha gave me an upset look as she walked away back into the hut.
I stood there for a moment and then turned around and was shocked. That cute guy that I been trying to get his name since we started talking had came out the hut and was coming toward me. What should I do? I quickly started trying to fix my dress and wished that I had a mirror so that I could do something to touch up my makeup. Okay, I need to stop freaking out, he's probably just coming over here to speak or something.
"Li Hua, you okay? I saw Jiha come back in and she looked pretty fired up. Did you two have a fight?"
"Oh no, it's nothing. I was on my way in, I just got side-tracked by how beautiful night time is."
"Yeah, it is beautiful," we both stood there for a moment then he whispered, "Li Hua..."
I looked at him and the next thing you know we kissed.
A slow meaningful kiss. The sun began to rise above our heads and fireworks started to pop behind us in the background. This seemed like a picture perfect moment. I could just stay in this moment forever and ever... If only if only...

Courtney Stodden has been rapidly fading from relevancy yet is remarkably determined to not just throw in the towel and do porn which makes her a better person than Farrah Abraham.

If you're in need of an ethereal indie/psychedelic rock album to fall asleep to, try this one. You're bound to have soaring dreams and wake up feeling relaxed yet ready to take on the world. This Austin band has been around since 1999 and some critics are saying this is their best offering to date. I certainly enjoyed the album's quiet power and synth beats combined with a traditional rock base. The album has drawn comparisons to artists from Bruce Springsteen (especially on "Quiet Americans") to Kraftwerk. Listen Now
Just days after releasing a new album on his 69th birthday, the truly transcendent artist David Bowie died Sunday. Apparently he had been fighting cancer for the last 18 months and died surrounded by his family. Read about his legacy and how people around the world are reacting to his death.
It wouldn't be Friday without some new music. Check out the higlights from today's releases below and have a great weekend!
Scott Weiland, the former frontman for rock bands Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, died in his sleep while on a tour stop in Bloomington, Minnesota, with his band The Wildabouts early this morning. After reading about his passing we encurage you to listen to some of his music as you remember what he gave to us all.
Looking forward and looking back. Never miss the latest music, streaming 24/7, for free, no comercial interuptions. Here are highlights from today's additions:
Lots of eclectic music hit the streets last Friday. Check out what you can listen to now:
Ryan Adams has produced a track-by-track remake of Taylor Swift's 1989 to beautiful effect. Adams' soulful vocals have stripped down these songs to their emotional core and given listeners a different perspective on heartbreak - that of a 40-year-old man going through a divorce, rather than the heartaches of a 25-year-old woman. Adams has said that Swift's original album helped him through his breakup with Mandy Moore, and I can't imagine a more fitting tribute to Swift's first official pop album.
Last week ended with some great releases. Check them out now!
This is White Lies' most melodic album. The deep baritone of lead singer Harry McVeigh echoes and the driving guitars reverberate throughout each song. Bassist Charles Cave has said that the album follows a story of a couple who leave a provincial area for a big city and, according to Cave, a recurring theme is the idea of equality in a relationship.
Find the perfect soundtrack for your Halloween party or re-discover an old favorite that has been remixed, remastered, or completely re-interpreted. Some great new music droped today - enjoy!

North Korea fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile off its east coast on Saturday, South Korea said, amid concerns that the isolated state might conduct a nuclear test or a missile launch ahead of a ruling party meeting in May.
The North fired the missile to the northeast at about 6:30 p.m. (0930 GMT), the South's office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
North Korea will hold a congress of its ruling Workers' Party in early May for the first time in 36 years, at which its leader Kim Jong Un is expected to say the country is a strong military power and a nuclear state.
The missile flew for about 30 km (18 miles), a South Korean Defense Ministry official said by telephone, adding its military was trying to determine whether the launch may have been a failure for unspecified reasons.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency said the missile flew "for a few minutes," citing a government source.
The U.S. Strategic Command said it had detected and tracked a North Korean submarine missile launch but it did not pose a threat to North America.
State Department spokesman John Kirby said launches using ballistic missile technology were "a clear violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions."

Career Research Project
Elizabeth Jolly, Physical Therapy
Some job skills needed to be a physical therapist are motivation and a good work ethic. You must have a strong background in science and math. Also having strong verbal and communication skills is essential. Having the knowledge to administer treatments to improve patient's lifestyles, and understanding the needs and goals of patients is also a given.
Education Requirements
- biology/anatomy
- exercise physiology
- kinesiology
- neuroscience
- behavioral sciences
- communication
- sociology
- cardiovascular and pulmonary
- metabolic, and musculoskeletal
Inspirational Quote
My words to live by is "But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. 'Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened.' Take courage." It means to me that you should always do whats right even if it's unpopular. You should never be ashamed of your faith and to always have courage to try new things. This passage is 1 Peter 3:14. I was in youth group and we were talking about what it's like to be courageous and how hard it is to do the right thing sometimes.
Role Model
My role model is Daniel Skelton. He's a senior this year and he's planning on going to college. He's 1st chair percussionist in honors band and he was squad leader for the battery in marching band. Daniel is the Vice-President of the band department.
Daniel is my role model because he's so friendly and he can get along with anyone. He's extremely talented in both band and choir. He's also very determined in everything he does. He helps me a lot in band and I feel he makes me play my best and be the best person I can be in and out of band. He's motivational in band and choir and he's always willing to help someone if the need it.
For physical therapy the article I choose was on how mirror therapy helped a man with a traumatic brain injury. The article said "A trial use of mirror therapy, with a 20 year old man who had sustained a traumatic brain injury, demonstrated an improvement in distal upper limb function."(MNT 2). It shows that constant therapy can improve anyone's injury if you work hard at it. Therapy can improve motor functions over time as well.

Prayers for my daughter and her family as they enter the next phase today with Cannon's club feet. At 2 months old he has been casted every week, had surgery and today fitted with the brace which was difficult for them as they were confronted with a reality they were not prepared for. The brace is what will continue the process. The brace did not work tonight so they go back tomorrow for refitting to prevent damage. They have a 5yr and a 3yr old and Ashley is feeling overwhelmed with Cannon and meeting the other children's need. This is not a one day deal. I am not able to go down at the present so I ask for prayers for peace, guidance, wisdom and that God will put people in there path to help and understand
My 18 yr. old son wants nothing to do with God anymore. He hangs around the wrong crowd and has been very disrespectful and dishonoring to his father and I. He feels at 18 yrs. old he doesn't need to listen to us because he is an adult now. He is doing things that are contrary to God's word. Please pray he sees God as real! That God would remove the strongholds in his life that are taking him down the wrong path. He is threatening to move out, please pray God gets ahold of his heart before that happens. Pray God gives us strength as we deal with him. I don't know for sure if he is truly saved so please pray if he is not that he comes to know Christ for real.
I am struggling with my relationship with God. I recently was in a relationship that was going well, then out of the blue I was dumped and I am now in great pain and struggle. I suffer from depression and that is making this experience more lengthy and trying then it should be. I am doubting God and his plan for I don't understand what I am supposed to learn through all of this pain. Please pray that I can be utterly dependent on God never doubt him or his plan. Help me to loose faith in my plan for it is only temporary. Pray that the lord fills me with his love and compassion and pushes out the depression and leads me closer to him to not worry about the daily things and only focus on him.

Henry Sauermann
PhD Coordinator, Strategy & Innovation
Dr. Sauermann explores the role of human capital in science, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Among others, he studies how scientists' motives and incentives relate to important outcomes such as innovative performance in firms, patenting in academia, or career choices and entrepreneurial interests. This stream of research also explores important differences in these mechanisms across organizational contexts such as industrial versus academic science or startups versus large established firms.
In new projects, Dr. Sauermann studies the dynamics of motives and incentives over time, and explores non-traditional innovative institutions such as Crowd Science and Innovation Contests. Additional work is underway to gain deeper insights into scientific labor markets and to derive implications for junior scientists, firms, and policy makers.
Dr. Sauermann is a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). His work has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Kauffman Foundation, a Sloan Foundation Research Program, as well as the Georgia Research Alliance. He has published in a wide range of journals including Management Science, Organization Science, Research Policy, Science, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), and PLoS ONE. He has presented his work at many national and international conferences and was invited to share his research with policy makers and business executives at meetings of The National Academies and The Conference Board.

Subsequent to the assurance from the government that there is no plan for merger of banks at present, at a meeting before Chief Labour Commissioner, where officials of Finance Ministry and Indian Banks' Association (IBA) were present, it was decided to defer the strike, reported PTI.
"As regards service conditions of employees of associate banks, IBA stated that the same would be governed by the bipartite settlement and that there would be no unilateral imposition of any service conditions," All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA) General Secretary, C H Venkatachalam told media.
AIBEA and Bank Employees Federation of India ( BEFI) had given a call for observance of one day nation-wide bank strike on September 25 in support of their demands.

The 43-year-old actor bought the lottery cards from a newsagent in Berkshire, England. "Hugh said he needed to go to the shops then came back with a wad of scratchcards and handed them out to everyone.
It's a nice gesture. No one won, however, -or if they did they're not saying," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying. This is not the first time that the actor has turned to lottery to cheer his co-workers.
Last year, on the set of "Reel Steel", he made a weekly habit of purchasing 500 tickets for crew members. "It's my way of paying taxes. The very first film I did in America, I was embarrassed to say two months in that I didn't know half of the crew's names," Jackman said.
"So I thought that on a Friday afternoon I'll whip by and buy lottery tickets for everyone and hand them out. I say it's an Australian tradition, but it's not," he added.
