Featured Golf Course Review:
|Wakonda Club -- Wakonda Club Renovation is Fantastic
|Review by: Chuck Taylor
|If you haven't played Wakonda Club since a major renovation completed by Roger Rulewich, you need to put it on your "must play" list. This old gem, site of the 1963 US Amateur, has been lengthened with all new teeing areas, new sand bunkers on every hole, and several other major renovations that have really improved the course. The par 5s have been transformed from "ho hum" holes into classic tests of shotmaking that are some of the best par 5s you will find anywhere. Several new greens have been installed, and they have never been faster. The course plays fast and difficult, recently hosting the Iowa Amateur and future home of the Trans Mississippi and another Iowa Am. This course now truly is the finest test of golf in Iowa.
|From Urbandale, Iowa

"...the performer whom most magicians consider the greatest card magician extant."
... TIME Magazine
Derek Dingle has been one of the most influential close-up magicians of the 20th century. He created many outstanding routines that are in use by the leading professionals in our field. He went from an outstanding amateur to a successful professional and on this DVD you get to see him perform and explain the routines that he regularly used in his professional career.
The DVD begins with a live lecture, taped in Sacramento, California in 1998, where he performed and explained his favorite routines.
Routines performed and explained:
The Derek Dingle Fabulous Jumping Card Trick:
Derek's handling for Edward Victor's Eleven Card Trick where the spectator deals eleven cards into your hand but each time you count the cards you only have ten. This is repeated with cards added to the packet and taken away but the total is never as it should be.
New Wave Cigarette Through Quarter:
A repeat cigarette through quarter routine like no other. After penetrating the center of a borrowed quarter with a cigarette you confess that you switched coins and then you repeat the sequence with the "real" quarter.
Silver Quick:
A clean coins across routine where four coins vanish from your hand and appear on the spectator's palm and in her clenched fist.
The Sympathetic Cards:
This is considered the best method for the classic routine where thirteen cards in A-K numerical order are placed in full view in a glass. A second set of cards are removed in a random order from a second deck and placed in a different glass beside the first. Magically the original packet rearranges itself in sympathy to match the order of the random set of cards.
Super Card Rise:
A comical and simple method for having a selected card rise out of an ordinary un-gimmicked deck of cards.
Rainbow Deck:
An odd backed card is placed in the middle of the deck as the spectator attempts to select it. When he finally selects a card it turns out to be the only regular card left in the deck as all the others now have odd backs.
Derek's Ambitious Card (Performance Only):
Used as a closer for his shows and lectures it is the classic effect done the Derek Dingle way with a card to sealed envelope in wallet ending.
You will also see him discuss how to make gaffed cards, give tips on perfecting the Pass and teach the many techniques used within the routines.
The DVD concludes with Derek Dingle performing on stage with his hilarious Card In Balloon, the classic Crystallized Coins Up Sleeve and the rarely seen Card In Lemon.
Running time:
Approximately 60 minutes.

Dead fish & seagulls invade Pultneyville
The Pultneyville Yacht Club was inundated with dead fish and plump, happy seagulls last week leaving local boaters with questions. Why all the dead and dying fish and just how many seagulls can fit in to one square foot?
Yacht Club members and customers of the adjacent Landing at Pultneyville became victims of sudden bird flights and accompanying cars also felt the brunt of bird droppings.
Jim Deatsch, member and Environmental Officer for the Yacht Club said he noticed struggling and dying fish cropping up about 10 days ago. "The gulls were having a field day. I even saw a couple of turkey buzzards come by, but they were chased off by the seagulls," said Deatsch. "This is not a good thing. The gulls won't eat the dead ones," he added.
Yacht Club member Don Byrnes of Walworth said he noticed the tens of thousands of dead fish and accompanying seagulls last Wednesday. The main channel of the Yacht Club remained clear, but the offshoot dock areas remained cluttered with dead and dying fish.
The small fish, known as alewives, often exhibit seasonal die-offs and can be seen, usually in mid-May, washed up on the shorelines of the Great Lakes. Alewives were introduced to the Great Lakes as food fish for the species such as lake trout and the introduced Pacific salmon.
Ironically, the DEC (Department of Conservation) had poured thousands of 4" to 6" brown trout off the Pultneyville Point a week before.
Was this a case of nature taking its course and an alewives die-off, or was there something amiss with the fish? Why did the fish die just in the Pultneyville channel and nowhere else along the shoreline in either direction?
The DEC was not taking any chances. On Tuesday (5/13) the DEC took samples of the dead fish and sent them to Cornell for testing. Some on the scene believed it could be viral hemorrhagic septicemia, a deadly infectious fish disease that afflicts over 50 species of freshwater and marine fish in several parts of the northern hemisphere.
Webster (Web) Pearsall, the Regional Fishery Manager for the DEC out of the Avon Office, was leaning more to the natural cause of the fish die-off. "This is part of a normal cycle." The cold winter and warm waters feeding the lake cause a sudden rift in water temperatures that the alewives simply cannot tolerate. He noted that since the fish die-off in the Pultneyville channel, similar reports are now coming in from other Lake Ontario feeds, including the Genesee River outlet. "It is an issue of thermal shock on the fish," concluded Pearsall. He added that the fish scoop-up and samples sent to Cornell was just to confirm what he believed. Sodus Town Supervisor and longtime boat captain, Steve Leroy, said he has seen this type of fish kill numerous times in his boating career. "I could be wrong, but I believe they will find no contaminants in the fish."

It was no surprise that Sunday's matchup between the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills turned into a high-scoring affair — and quickly. They were, after all, the NFL's two worst teams in terms of points allowed through the first six weeks of the regular season.
However, Jason McCourty's interception with 2:57 to play led to Nate Washington's fourth-down touchdown reception with 1:03 remaining that lifted the Titans to a 35-34 victory in a contest that featured three touchdowns in a 25-second span of the first quarter and more than 375 yards of offense from both teams.
"We always talk about creating turnovers but as a defense we've got to play better," McCourty said. "For myself, I can't trade touchdowns for interceptions. You've got to find a way to make plays earlier in that game and get off the field. Overall as a defense we did a poor job of tackling [Sunday]."
Tennessee ultimately held the Bills scoreless for the final 15:05 and did not allow any fourth-quarter points for the first time this season. Buffalo's last chance ended when quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw incomplete on fourth down with 26 seconds to play.
The Titans (3-4), who improved to 3-0 in games decided by three points or fewer, got a pair of rushing touchdowns each from backs Chris Johnson and Jamie Harper. Johnson snapped a streak of 200 carries without a score and got the end zone twice in his first four attempts. His second touchdown was an 83-yard touchdown run that made it 14-7 late in the first quarter.
Johnson finished with 195 yards on 18 carries. It was his highest single-game total since he set the franchise record of 228 on Nov. 1, 2009.
"We know how to win games like this; we have to be able to do that," coach Mike Munchak said. "We can't be one-dimensional like we've been in our losses. He's a great weapon, and if we can continue to do that, we'll win more football games."
Washington had a team-high six receptions for 43 yards. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, in his third straight start, led a game-winning drive inside the final two minutes for the second straight week and finished 22-for-33 passing for 205 yards.
"We definitely needed it," Washington said. "I think every win that we've had thus far has been a close one. We've been pulling them out so we just have to do a better job throughout the game of staying in there, keeping our minds in it and going with the ebb and flow."
The Bills (3-4) has a little more variety when it came to scoring points. Fitzpatrick threw three touchdown passes, running back Fred Jackson ran for one and Brad Smith answered Johnson's long touchdown run with an 89-yard return on the ensuing kickoff.
It didn't help Tennessee's defense that middle linebacker Colin McCarthy sat out because of the lingering effects of an ankle injury, which caused him to miss three games early in the season. His replacement, Zac Diles, left with an injury prior to halftime.
Defensive end Kamerion Wimbley's sack and forced fumble on the first play of the second half set up Harper's second touchdown, which made it 28-20. McCourty's interception, his second of the season, was the game's only other turnover.
The Bills, who did not punt in the first three quarters, went ahead for the first time when Steve Johnson's 27-yard touchdown reception made it 34-28 with five seconds to play in the third quarter.
"We knew coming to the game the type of offense that we could face and they are capable of scoring 30 or 40 points per game," safety Jordan Babineaux said. "... Defensively in the second half, we forced the turnovers and that was the difference. The offense capitalized and gave us the edge. [Hasselbeck] and [Washington] made a great fourth-down play to help us seal the deal."

Battlefield 3 Fault Line Episode 2 Video - PS2
Battlefield 3 - Fault Line Episode 2 Video
It's the second episode of the new Fault Line video series, and it further proves that Battlefield 3 will be absolutely gigantic later this year. Every piece of footage and every detail impresses the hell out of us; DICE has produced something very special in that Frostbite 2 engine, wouldn't you say? All we need now is a release date...could this be the very best shooter of the year?

I've become a devoted Downton Abbey fan {Am I the only one that converses in "Downton Abbey Speak" after viewing the show? ~"Why yes, I think I shaaall have another piece of toast. Thank you ever so much…"} I will admit that I had the show on my mind when I created this meal. With it's rich color I could can easily imagine this dish coming straight out of Mrs. Patmore's kitchen and onto the Lord's table.
In addition to that, this time of year I'm always looking for ways to sneak more fruits into my diet. I can't help but eye suspiciously at off season imported fruits from far away lands. Luckily I have no problem turning to a trove of frozen summer fruits. The winter can feel a bit bleak at times, and the beautiful color of this sauce is another good reason to make it.
I've never been a huge fan of pork chops. It was so deeply drilled into me as a young woman that to avoid the dreaded trichinosis that pork had to be cooked to within an inch of it's dry life. It pains me to recall the terrible looks on my children's faces when I set before them a lovely pork chop, that they had to saw at, with aggressive fervor, in order to get at a piece. Then there were the blinking stares as they had to chaw on, and eventually swallow, that tough bite. My poor dears, no wonder it was never a favorite.
Recently I did a little reading up on the subject. It turns out that things in the pork world have changed since my long ago days in Home-Ec. Back then we were instructed to bring the meat up to an internal temperature of 165˚- which, as my children experienced, is "hockey puck" temperature. Thanks to better raising techniques, and better understanding of food preparation safety, an internal temperature of 140˚ will kill off any unwanted "bugs", and yield a delicious and juicier meal.
I also came across various cooking methods and feel like I've hit on a winner. Some were a bit complicated. This version does have two steps, but it's well worth it, and I'm excited to share it with you.
Pork meat is quite lean, with only fat running along the outside. Which makes it wonderfully healthy to eat, but not always the tastiest. To make a really juicy pork chop I first brined it for about 30 mins, which worked out perfectly as I used that time to prepare the sauce and side dishes. Then, using a medium low heat, I gently seared the meat, after which I tucked it into a moderate oven for finishing off. The result was a lovely golden sear on the outside, and juicy delicious meat on the inside.
As you can see, the result is a pale pinkness to the meat and even some pale pink juices. According to the USDA, this is more than ok and healthy to eat. I know, I know… it's hard to let go of those "laws" that we were forced to swallow, but it's time to let all that go. I promise it won't make you at all ill, and you'll want to thank me {EVER so much}.

Dungeness LightouseDungeness Category Museums & Galleries, For Adults, Historic Sites
The Old Lighthouse is an Historic Grade 11 building, listed in 1992 by Shepway District Council, recently celebrating its centenary. Opened with great ceremony by His Royal Majesty the Prince of Wales in 1904 after a 3 year build, it survived two world wars before decommission in 1960. For 56 years it provided a welcome landlight to vessels negotiating the perils of the English Channel. The Lighthouse features in Nickolaus Pevsner's famous "Buildings of Kent".
This imposing building is almost 46 metres high to the top of the weather vane, 11 metres in diameter and constructed of engineering bricks with sandstone inner walls. Over three million bricks were used to build the structure. Internally there are a series of mezzanine floors made of slate and supported by steel beams and massive rivets. Each floor is linked by circular concrete stairs which hug the walls and have decorative wrought iron banisters. There are cambered casement viewing windows on all floors. The outer gallery is closed during bad weather conditions.

As A has explained in the past, there is a lot the PR pro does not learn from her professor in college. Another large item most of us are never taught in class is the PR jargon that is passed around the office on a daily basis. When I was an intern, I heard jumbles of letters being thrown around at the drop of a hat, and I really wished I had a cheat sheet of some sort to give me a clue as to what everyone was talking about. Below we've called out a some of the most used acronyms in public relations with a few helpful definitions:
SMT – Satellite Media Tour
Broadcast segments taped via satellite featuring and paid for by your brand. Usually includes a brand spokesperson, and airs on about 25 local news channels in different markets.
RNR – Radio News Release
Usually accompanying a SMT, the spokesperson shares a soundbite from the program to select list of radio stations
ANR – Audio News Release
Similar to a press release, a script about 60 seconds long is shared with radio news hosts, usually through a syndicated station
MNR – Media News Release
Also similar to a press release, but sent over the wire with video or photos
CPM – Cost Per Measurement
A tool clients like to use in determining the return of a placement – usually measuring media impressions against ad cost
ROO – Return On Objective
Status of the program against the final program goals
ROI – Return On Investment
Final return on the initial program initiative
PO – Purchase Order
MCM – Multi Cultural Markets
RFP – Request For Proposal
When a client requests a proposal for new work, he is usually putting your company under review against other agencies
SEO – Search Engine Optimization
The more you know about SEO, the more of an asset you are to your company
UMV – Unique Monthly Visitors
What other abbreviations or acronyms are you curious about? GTL does not count – we're all curious about that one.

Serie A minnows Novara are reportedly showing an interest in forgotten Juventus striker Vincenzo Iaquinta.
The latter has yet to play for the Old Lady this season. Although he has recovered from a couple of injuries, boss Antonio Conte hasn't used him for a single minute.
A January move is a possibility and the 2006 World Cup winner is being paired with relegation-threatened Novara.
It is being suggested that Iaquinta, 32, could join Novara on a six-month loan in the New Year. Juve could also pay part of his wages.
Novara, newly promoted, are in 18th place after picking up just two wins and four draws from 12 games.
The Piedmont outfit have scored 14 goals in Serie A so far this term, but they have conceded 21 – the most in the Italian top flight.

Want to rile up an ACC Football fan? Tell him that his league is a basketball conference. You'll get a stiff argument at schools like Virginia Tech and Clemson but, sadly, you'd be right and the ACC fan would be left to cry in his beer.
It was symbolic last year that Virginia Tech and Cincinnati met in the Orange Bowl as representatives of the two conference that annually battle to decide which is the weakest of the BCS six. Ironically, after hijacking Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College from the Big East, the ACC was expected to be the new bully on the block. Hasn't happened. In fact, as the Big East retooled and added Cincy, Loisville and South Florida, they've stayed dead even.
Looks like another top heavy year in the ACC with the top teams really strong and the bottom feeders exceptionally bad. Find out which teams land where in our ACC Football Preview.

We're not sure what's hotter this time of year, Georgia asphalt or drivers in the Peach State when they find out they pay more to own a car and drive than in any other state, according to a personal finance website.
Georgia drivers spend an average of $4,233 a year on fuel, insurance, repairs, taxes and fees, Bankrate.com found. That's nearly double the $2,204 that a motorist spends in the nation's most modestly priced state, Oregon. The national average is $3,201, Bankrate reported.
Why would otherwise conservative Georgia be so expensive for drivers? Mostly because -- duh! -- they drive more.
"Georgians spend a lot of time in their cars thanks in part to Atlanta's sprawling communities and a lack of public transportation," Bankrate stated in a news release. "Those long commutes lead to above-average gasoline costs and insurance rates. And Georgia has the highest state automobile taxes and fees in the nation."
Oregon, meanwhile, has no state sales tax, and enjoys comparably low insurance costs. Moreover, residents there drive 16% less than the national average, according to Bankrate.
The top five "most-expensive" states for motorists, followed by their average annual costs, are:
1. Georgia, $4,233
2. California, $3,966
3. Wyoming, $3,938
4. Rhode Island, $3,913
5. Nevada, $3,886

It's our opinion that American exceptionalism includes a fire in the belly to solve problems. America wasn't built by people who waited and hoped that things would change for the better by the benevolence of government officials.
National Service Charity might be the only national non-profit in existence without a cause.
Our cause is defined by the donor or volunteer. We supply the non-profit structure, counsel and organization. You provide the agenda.
The private sector is 100 times more able to help build the social welfare than the government. We just need leadership. That would be YOU.
Your brilliant charity idea, plus our non-profit infrastructure, will brighten someone's day.

Cape Town - America's Andy Roddick fought off the challenge from Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov 7-6 (7/3), 7-5 on Tuesday to advance to the third round of the Shanghai Masters.
The 10th-seeded Roddick came back from a break down in the second set and saved a set point before breaking Dimitrov at love to close out the match.
Dimitrov hit 28 winners - nearly twice as many as Roddick - but also made 51 unforced errors.
Roddick will next play seventh-seeded Spaniard Nicolas Almagro, who defeated compatriot Tommy Robredo, 7-5, 6-3.
The 20-year old Dimitrov has in many tennis circles been compared to former world No 1 and 16-times major winner, Roger Federer. His style of play is almost a carbon copy to that of the Swiss maestro - sporting a strikingly similar service motion and the same fluent single handed backhand - a rarity in today's modern game.
The Bulgarian has subsequently been dubbed as "Baby Federer" by many tennis scribes on the ATP Tour. He is currently coached by former Tour Pro, Peter McNamara from Australia.
Dimitrov was formerly coached by Sweden's Peter Lundgren - coincidentally also Federer's coach when he won his first Grand Slam at Wimbledon in 2003.
Lundgren and Dimitrov started working together in 2009, and Lundgren at the time was reported as saying Dimitrov "is better than Federer was at his age". They parted ways in June 2010. Lundgren currently coaches Swiss world No 19, Stanislas Wawrinka.
But despite Dimitrov's overwhelming talent, the burden of being compared to a great such as Federer seems to have taken its toll thus far on the youngster. He has struggled for consistency and is currently ranked 72 on the ATP world rankings - with a career high ranking of 52.
ATP commentator Doug Adler described the Bulgarian's game as too loose and untidy, stating he would need to become more consistent in order to be compared to great such as Federer.

I have written a piece for the Spectator Health pages on Scoliosis for Scoliosis Awareness Day 2017. Click here to read it.
I'm thrilled that it's the second most popular story on the site!
The Surrey Edit has been featured in my local paper reporting the (very exciting!) news that my blog has made the shortlist in Cosmopolitan magazine's Cosmo Blog Awards. I'm in the Newcomer category, in association with the clothing store Next. Click on the article to make it bigger to read all about it!
Journalism has changed radically over the last 50 years. This is not news. The 'Golden Age of Journalism', so-called because of the thriving scope of newspapers and magazines and the associated 'glamorous' lifestyle of journalists in the 1960s, seems a world away from journalism today.
I interviewed Don Short, one of Fleet Street's legendary journalists, to get a clearer perspective on the transformation of the profession.
Don Short worked as the Show Business Columnist on The Daily Mirror in the 1960s. At the time, the Mirror had a circulation of over 5 million – more than all the other newspapers put together.
Not only did he have the chance to travel the world with Hollywood icons, but he was given carte-blanche to report on them. It was Short who coined the now ubiquitous term 'Beatlemania' to describe the excitement and hysteria that the band inspired among fans.
'Journalism has entered a new age as everything is now on screen and online. When I was working as a reporter your main equipment was a notebook, your crucial contacts book, and a telephone kiosk if you could find one. It was always a matter of dashing to get to the telephone box first! You'd have copy-takers at the end of the phone in the office who would take your dictation as you told your story to them straight from your head as quickly as possible, while a queue of other journalists formed behind you urging you to hurry up. Of course now everyone has a mobile phone from which you can call or email so it's much faster and more direct.'
'The hours were quite different too: your shift might start at 9am and was set to go on until 6pm, but at 5.50pm you could be sent anywhere in the world to cover a breaking story. You could then be away for several days, so you always had to have an overnight bag ready.'
'Fleet Street was a community in its own right, and had a fantastic atmosphere. Each paper had its own – unofficial – wine bar or pub. So if you heard that a paper had a big exclusive and wanted to find out more, then you'd go to the relevant pub. The Daily Mirror's was the White Hart (known as 'the stab in the back') and there would often be physical fights between journalists over stories!'
The Golden Age of Journalism certainly seemed very glamorous indeed…
'We always stayed in the best hotels with the stars, you had to do that otherwise you made yourself detached from the story. Although I once worked on a story about Elizabeth Taylor when she was in Paris, and she always stayed in the Lancaster Hotel, but I couldn't get a room there at that time so I had to rough it and stay in the neighbouring Georges V hotel! [one of Paris' most exclusive hotels] For the Cannes Film Festival I often stayed at the Carlton Hotel. When I went to cover a story in New York I either stayed in The Plaza or the Waldorf Astoria. Another favourite was the Hotel Byblos Saint-Tropez.'
'The Daily Mirror had two aeroplanes at Gatwick Airport on stand-by as part of a contract with Morton Air Services, which they could use as and when they needed them. One of which is now outside Croydon Airport on the Purley Way in Surrey. I had quite a few flights on that plane: I went to Austria to cover the story of a plane crash. I travelled with a photographer, whom I literally had to hold on to while he leaned out the plane door to take pictures of the scene below. And I also flew to Greece where a cruise liner had gone down.'
Showbiz Journalism is very different to how it used to be, partly because Hollywood has changed so much, as Don Short explains:
'I don't think Hollywood has the same aura as it used to as the stars are very different; some of their personalities seem rather vacuous compared to the characters of the 1960s and 70s.'
'Now journalists often have to agree to terms and conditions when interviewing a celebrity: the publicist hands them certain stipulations before the interview and journalists must feel almost gagged by the parameters of the questions. I'm all in favour of journalists saying 'No' to having to agree to the set questions. Journalists often want to discuss other areas of interest to colour their interviews, while the stars want to mainly talk about their latest show or album. Stars often wanted to see the story before it went to press, which is always problematic for a journalist.'
'I remember Sophia Loren wanted to see her photographs to check her hair was in the right place and to make sure she was looking her best!'
Don Short described some of his best scoops:
'I reported on the death of Brian Jones from The Rolling Stones. He was found dead in the swimming pool of the house he'd rented in East Grinstead (which had previously belonged to A.A. Milne, the author of Winnie the Pooh.) I was there within a couple of hours of the incident and I wrote up the story which went to press for the front page of the next day's paper.'
'I also broke the story of Elizabeth Taylor marrying Richard Burton; and the break-up of The Beatles', Surrey resident Short said with much modesty.
The Golden Age of Journalism: so very aptly named.

About Ugg Boots and sheepskin boots
What are ugg boots?
There are three groups of people - those who love them, those who hate them, and those who don't really know what they are. Ugg boots are the finest in quality sheepskin footwear manufactured by Ugg Australia. Sheepskin boots have been the Australian icon for long time, and the rest of the world recognized the quality, the feel and the unique characteristics of Uggs and sheepskin footwear.
One of the best things about uggs is that although ugg boots are are made of sheep skin, you can wear them all year round. The sheepskin breathes and holds the warmth inside during the winter and releases the heat in the summer. The unique thermostatic nature of the sheepskin keeps your feet at ideal temperature all year round. For years being used by surfers, the ugg boot has become a trendy fashion footwear article all over the world.
The success of the ugg has been amazing. Celebrities such as Oprah,
Paris Hilton and range of others have turned the ugg boots into a natural
part of popular culture. Although many Australian celebrities have probably
also worn the uggs, they have been made popular by a Canadian Pamela
Anderson, who started wearing ugg boots from Australia between takes
on the set when she was filming the TV show Baywatch. This might have
originally launched interest in ugg boots
in America.

Read's three-point night propels Flyers
For the last 45 minutes, the Flyers were riding some inspired hockey.
It carried over from last night and the Flyers used a four-goal first period to beat the Phoenix Coyotes, 4-2, Saturday night.
The inspired play continued from last night when the Flyers erased a 3-0 deficit to beat the Anaheim Ducks to win 4-3 in over time. They started out this month with four points and that is as good a result the Flyers could ask for right now with the injuries.
It all started with Matt Read, who continued his incredible Calder-worthy season. He potted his 10th goal of the season to give the Flyers a 1-0 lead less than five minutes in.
Read added two assists on the night as well. All three of his points came in the first period, the second time he did it this season.
Wayne Simmonds got himself into the act, scoring his first goal since November 14 to give the Flyers a 2-0 lead.
Claude Giroux made it 3-0 with his 15th goal of the season. His goal was his 32nd point of the season, tied for the league lead with Toronto's Phil Kessel.
Scott Hartnell capped off the scoring in the first period, banging home a one-timer from the stick of Danny Briere to make it 4-0. His goal was one of two power play tallies for the Flyers, who were 2-for-3 on the night only a day after going 3-for-9 in Anaheim.
Philadelphia slowed down a little bit in the second. Phoenix, who's strength is in their speed, finally found the back of the net on Ray Whitney's ninth goal of the season.
Outside of a late goal less than a minute left in the game, Bryzgalov shut down the Coyotes all game.
Bryzgalov was phenomenal in his first trip back to Phoenix since having his rights traded to Philadelphia in the off season. He stopped 36 of 38 shots to improve to 10-5-2 on the season.
After the game, Bryzgalov said he felt comfortable playing in his old building.
Getting back to Read -- He was a big contributor on the Flyers penalty kill, which shut down the Coyotes all four times.
Read showed his intelligence twice while on the penalty kill. In the first period, Read skated the puck all the way into the Coyotes offensive zone before halting and sending the puck all the way back down to his own end to waste time.
He did it again in the third on Phoenix's final power play opportunity. He has shown that besides scoring, Read can do the little things an NHL vet does right, making him a valuable asset to the Flyers early on in the season.

On June 1-2 GTA partnered with Formula Drift to produce Round 3 of the 2012 Global Time Attack Championship at Palm Beach International Raceway.
With 13 cars the field was light on quantity but loaded with quality.
In addition to being a Street FWD record, Doug Wind's Modern Performance SRT-4 1:30.558 lap time was also faster than the Limited FWD field. This was not the same SRT-4 that Doug fielded at Road Atlanta. That one belonged to his crew chief, Danny Fahr and is a far less potent machine. On Day One a faulty battery switch caused a parasitic drain on the battery leaving Doug Wind stranded on PBIR's front straight and the guys were able to fix it. After Doug's record-setting lap the SRT-4 lost a timing belt. Fortunately the 2.4L turbocharged mill is a low interference engine, which means this was not a catastrophic failure. The Modern Performance team is scheduled to compete in the remaining GTA events in Texas and Buttonwillow in a bid for win the Street Class Championship Chase. The team is currently tied for the lead.
Jon Miller came in Fourth place in Street RWD in his Arsenal Autosport Scion FR-S with a 1:35.744 lap. The Arsenal FR-S was mildly modified with only a set of 17-inch Enkei RPF1 wheels. Supra-specialists Titan Motorsports prepared the car. To our knowledge this is the first time attack FR-S in the world. This GTA event was the first of many for the Arsenal Autosport FR-S. The team plans to develop track-focused upgrades and eventually transform the Scion to a Grand-Am ST car.
After Road Atlanta Bryan Hedian had his car shipped to Florida for PBIR. It wasn't until after this event that Bryan could get the car back to New Jersey. He normally brings his father to serve as the crew chief on his Wired Race Team S2000 but at PBIR Bryan was a lone wolf without a pack. Bryan's 1:33.948 was an impressive time. His Third place in Street RWD was only a few ticks off the Renntech C74's lap time, a car with three times the horsepower! Bryan put up a good fight but his naturally aspirated F Series was no match for the Renntech and M cars.
Whit Staples normally drives the Fortune Auto Unlimited AWD Evo but engine damage at GTA Road Atlanta sidelined the car for Palm Beach. Whit brought his daily driven M3 and his 1:31.779 put him in Second place in Street RWD.
This was a treat. At PBIR Hartmut Feyhl entered a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. But this was no ordinary C63. It was a Renntech C74 version of the C63. Hartmut took the win in the Street RWD class with a 1:30.208. Renntech's C74 is named because of the max 74-inch rear track width courtesy of the DTM-inspired, carbon fiber widebody kit. The NA V8 makes 605hp and the car will go 11.4 @ 126mph in the quarter with a top speed of 204mph?! All will a full interior, AC, the works. This is one serious, tuned street car and not even a dedicated time attacker in the least. The best part is that Hartmut actually drove this one to the track and then took top Street RWD honors.
Daniel O'Donnell and his Professional Awesome Evo may have been the only car in Street AWD but his 1:25.016 was faster than the entire Limited class field and the Third fastest time of the entire event. Professional Awesome has competed in four previous Global Time Attacks and set new class records at each one. Palm Beach was no exception giving the team five AWD Street class records. Much like at Road Atlanta the Professional Awesome Evo ran flawlessly at Palm Beach. Following their record at Palm Beach Daniel O'Donnell and his Professional Awesome team are tied for the lead in the Street class Championship Chase.
Andrew Meek came in Second place in Limited FWD in the WTDR Civic with a 1:38.410 lap. Meek's WTDR Civic is actually a Street Class car, however the lack of a catalytic converter up-classed the car to Limited. Meek told us that WTDR stands for We Todd Did Racing. We don't get it. Wait, now we do. Andrew drove his WTDR Civic all the way from Ft. Mill, SC to Palm Beach for this GTA event. Andrew was originally supposed to enter an authentic Integra Type-R that he also planned to drive to the event but a broken motor mount forced him to bring his back up car, this EG Civic.
Louis Murphy and his IPGParts.com Integra won Limited FWD with a time of 1:34.074. The IPGParts.com Integra features a naturally aspirated K series engine swap. Murphy's 1:34.074 in the IPGParts.com Integra is a new Limited FWD track record at Palm Beach International Raceway.
Dave Norton went 1:25.186 in his Spec Clutch 240SX on his way to win the Limited RWD class. This time was also a new class record at PBIR. As fast as he went at PBIR Dave was not satisfied with the handling of his Spec Clutch S14 as the car was not able to rotate properly in the corners. Following his win at PBIR Dave currently has a commanding lead in the Limited Class Championship Chase standings.
On Day One Chris Rado struggled with power steering issues but by Day Two he was back to form with a 1:20.810. Rado's time in his WORLD Racing tC was the second fastest time of the event as well as a new FWD track record. Strangely enough Rado's WORLD Racing team does not adjust any of the many wings on the tC from a high downforce track like Buttonwillow to a low downforce one like PBIR choosing instead to use brute power to punch through the air.
Cameron Worth and the Pettit Racing RX-7 ran a 1:28.698, which was a new Unlimited RWD record. The Pettit Racing crew struggled to prep the car on Day Two after missing Day One. The Pettit RX-7 met all the requirements for the Limited class except the Hoosier R6 tires moved the Mazda into Unlimited RWD.
Second place in Unlimited AWD went to Ramin Abdolvahabi in the PROS Tuning Evo 8 with a 1:28.685. Abdolvahabi's PROS Tuning Evo is not even a time attack car as it was built for wheel-to-wheel racing. Ramin was steadily improving until a piston let go as a result of turning up the boost in an effort to build more power. The 4G63 in the PROS Tuning Evo 8 was built for wheel-to-wheel endurance and not time attack-style quick bursts of big power.
At West Palm Beach Jeff Westphal and GST Motorsports continued their record-crushing streak. Their 1:16.709 was the fastest time of the weekend, a new Unlimited AWD record and an overall time attack track record too. Because of transmission problems the team did not go out at all on Day One. GST team principle Mike Warfield worked single-handedly on the GST Impreza to replace a throw out bearing in the car's gearbox. In the ultimate show of sportsmanship Tony Szirka from UMS Tuning, Scott Stanwood from WORLD Racing and Bryan Hedian from the Wired Race Team all lent a hand to help finish the car in time for Day Two. Part of the reason Warfield needed Day One to work on his car was because WORLD Racing transported the car from California to Road Atlanta and then to Palm Beach, which did not allow it to come back to the team's Hayward, California shop between rounds.
With the conclusion of the third round of the GTA Championship Chase at West Palm Beach there are only three remaining rounds at New Jersey Motorsports Park on August 4-5, Texas Motor Speedway on September 21-22 and the finals at Buttonwillow Raceway Park on November 7 with the Super Lap Battle. You can see the complete results from PBIR here as well as an image gallery and video playlist. Updated Championship Chase points standings are here.

By Rocky White
Markets have gotten off to a pretty good start here in 2013. Last week, the S&P 500 Index hit its highest daily close since late 2007. It would be easy to say this market is getting a little overbought, but there are a couple of pieces of option data from the International Securities Exchange (ISE) that should keep you optimistic.
ISE Sentiment Index (Equities-Only Version): The first thing that's pretty eye-catching is the ISE Sentiment Index (ISEE), which the ISE reports daily. The ISEE measures only opening long option transactions by its customers -- so this metric excludes option trades initiated by sellers, or by the firms and market makers who are responsible for a lot of hedging and other complex strategies. Using only customers' opening long positions gives the clearest picture of investor sentiment.
The ISE Sentiment Index is a ratio of call options to put options. Call options, of course, increase in value when a stock price rises, while puts gain value when the stock price falls. Therefore, the ISEE is a ratio of bullish bets to bearish bets. Personally, I like to use a version of the ISE Sentiment Index that excludes indexes and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and focuses on equities only. That's because option volume on indexes and ETFs is often related to hedging activity, which we'll discuss in the next section.
I took the daily equity-only ISE Sentiment Index reading and averaged the figures over the last 50 trading days to smooth out the data. Below is a chart of the 50-day average of the equity-only ISEE along with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), an ETF that tracks the SPX. The current reading of 160 means that for every 100 put options bought to open by customers, they've bought 160 call options. As you'll see in the chart below, the ratio has increased significantly since June, but it is historically quite low. In other words, there is plenty of room left for investors to become more bullish. This represents a large amount of sideline cash that could be deployed into the market, which tells me there is a lot of potential for even more gains.
SPY Option Activity: Along with the ISE Sentiment Index, we also get the exchange's open/close data on individual stocks and ETFs. It breaks down option volume by whether it's an opening or closing trade, and whether the volume is generated by a retail customer, market maker, or broker. I mentioned above that the buy-to-open activity on ETFs is driven by a lot of hedging. For example, some investors like to buy put options on the SPY to hedge their long stock portfolios. Therefore, we interpret option activity on ETFs differently than we do that of equities. If a large number of put options are bought on the SPY, we don't consider these bearish bets on the market. Instead, we look at them as bullish bets, because the put purchases are most likely being used to hedge a long stock position.
Below is a chart of the 20-day put/call ratio of buy-to-open volume on SPY options (notice the ISEE is a call/put ratio, but below we're looking at a put/call ratio). The ratio is currently at an extreme low compared to the last few years. In other words, call volume on SPY is high relative to put volume right now.
To find out exactly why this ratio is so depressed, I separated out the volume by puts and calls in the following chart. Call option volume is at a high level compared to the past -- which is notable, because volumes are typically quite low in December and January. However, the ratio is being skewed by the put volume, which is currently very low.
We can't know for sure the reasons for the low put volume, but we can come up with some reasonable guesses. One reason could be some big-money players are out of the market and on the sidelines. Since they're out of the market, there is no reason to hedge by buying put options on the SPY. However, it's possible hedged players are, in fact, in the market, but they're hedging with another instrument -- CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX) call options, for example. A third possibility is that they're in the market but are now refusing to hedge, because hedging costs them some profits. If this last scenario were the case, it would be interpreted as a sign of complacency and we would consider that to have bearish implications. Any of those guesses are possible, but we do know one thing from looking at the chart above: major sell-offs have not occurred with the put/call ratio on the SPY at such depressed levels.
Next I want to focus on the high number of SPY call options in the chart above. Since this is presumably hedging activity, the higher-than-normal amount of calls suggests investors have a considerable short position in the market. This theory is substantiated by the chart below, which shows total short interest on SPX component stocks.
The amount of short interest increased quite a bit in the second half of last year, and remains at an elevated level. This is yet another bullish sign for the market going forward. If stocks continue to rise and these short sellers start feeling the pressure, a short-squeeze rally could be a tailwind for the market as bears are forced to buy shares to cover their shorts.

When it comes to setting the prevailing economist groupthink, nobody does it better than the economists at JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs. Which is why the following chart of projected 2014 GDP growth by quarter in the Developed and Emerging World from JPM, explains succinctly just where the groupthink now expects marginal global growth will come from (Mexico, South Africa, Korea, UK, Italy?). We show it just because the economist consensus is always wrong when it comes to the important inflection points (see ECB rate cut decision, Taper off decision, Taper on, the great financial crisis, "subprime is contained", etc).
So for those curious to know what most likely will not happen in the new year, this chart's for you.

I wrote up draft "minutes" from our HCLS Scientific Discourse call yesterday. Please update & edit them on the wiki: http://www.w3.org/wiki/HCLSIG/SWANSIOC/Actions/RhetoricalStructure/alignment/mediumgrain#2011-04-14_HCLS_meeting Thanks for a fruitful discussion! -Jodi ===== Howard: It seems like either paragraph or figure could serve a variety of semantic or rhetorical roles. Tim: Blocks and [clauses?]??? play different rhetorical roles in the document, so you may want to annotate them differently. Anita: I thought that "fine-grained" was what SWAN annotated: recitation, evidence, claims. You can't always point to a single place where a claim is stated. It may be stated several places, and narrative-focused. So is the challenge: how to connect fine-grained *process* markup to fine-grained *document* markup? Gully: There's a difference between the scientific process and the construction of argument across documents. In Slide 11 [on SWAN] -- a lot of elements could be distinguished into categories It could be useful to categorize the elements of as * Intra-document * Intra-experiment * Extra-document Even within a document, there may be cross-experiment argumentation. Science draws from an external set of knowledge -- to provide motivation, interpretation, experimental design. There are also intra-document relationships -- like pointing to figures, or constructing an experimental design that is specifically geared towards a certain question. Further, a document may contain multiple experiments. Tim: Science is "warranted true belief". There are two kinds of warrant: either a reference to someone else's papers (external evidence) or reference to the experiment - details, reasoning, data etc. (internal evidence relying on the provenance and logical procedures of the papers). Gully: Tim - I think my point was just that the slides have these different types of relations in one place. I'd like to categorize these types, separating extra-document knowledge from intra-document evidence and process. At ISI, the machine-reading group works on this problem, they distinguish between the "reading machine" and the "reasoning machine": what do we annotate the text with; how do we use those annotations to reason with? There are process elements and semantic representation. For discourse (on the process side) -- what are the general aspects of what we're trying to annotate, in order to serve the purpose of reasoning? We want to find the underlying reasoning and do computation over it. Anita: The question "what are we modelling?" needs to be proceeded by "why are we modelling?". Do we need new use cases? The existing use cases are to: Create a claim-evidence network spanning over documents http://www.w3.org/wiki/HCLSIG/SWANSIOC/Actions/RhetoricalStructure/UseCases/1 Provide templates for authoring of documents (Use Case #2: Publication authoring here) http://www.w3.org/wiki/HCLSIG/SWANSIOC/Actions/RhetoricalStructure/UseCases/2 Link publications and enhance search: http://www.w3.org/wiki/HCLSIG/SWANSIOC/Actions/RhetoricalStructure/UseCases/3 Jodi: Integration between the paper and the science is the main point here - so how do you get claims out of a single paper? Anita: and link them to the underlying experimental model? Gully: The use cases we are talking about are informatics use cases, but we should be focusing on biologists use cases. Can we suggest to an biologist end-user what a new field or direction would be? To make a claim network useful in practice, by taking them to a place where they haven't worked before? Tim: great point Gully - also point them to experiments and tools to do that work? Alex: when biologists go to libraries, they have a particular problem, are following a protocol, want to find papers where same protocol is used with slight modifications - not so much claims. Gully: The ultimate goal is for scientist to be able to design a new experiment based on the knowledge you have based your model on. We want machines that make a prediction for the scientist, and propose a new experiment. So pull out all claims about observations and interpretations, munge them together into a model that you can do reasoning on, and generate an experimental design to test the new hypothesis. Gully: Hanalyzer, from UC Denver, is an interesting system to consider. http://hanalyzer.sourceforge.net/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAegU3aZbWI They work in a well-defined domain which they understand well, and besides the tools, they have a human analyst to "think about the science". This is a good recipe for success: solve problems for a specific domain. There are two main differences from what we are doing: first, it is a complete system (with user interfaces) NOT just an ontology. Second, it is specific, whereas what we want is very general Joanne: So how do you bridge perspectives, between a domain and external [general?] perspectives? You need to know what role you are in. Different types of evidence are used in different fields. Next steps from Anita: 1) investigate workshop 2) write new use case 3) Joanne to invite someone from the Hunter group Other possible next-steps: presentation from the ISI machine-reading group. Other thoughts to take up: Howard: Not sure stories or narratives always strictly follow beginning-middle-end series: roles often shift about with lots of non-linear reflection and impact out-of-sequence.Received on Tuesday, 12 April 2011 16:18:17 UTC

text: A few months back simone had left a comment about a site called RIOetc that features "hipster houses in Rio de Janeiro". I had totally forgotten about it until recently and I was pleasantly surprised to find not necessarily what I would call "hipster" homes but some really fun and creatively decorated spaces. The site was started back in 2007 by Renata Abranchs (fashion consultant) and Tiago Petrik (journalist). At the time Rio had a bad rap so they wanted to praise their beautiful city through its inhabitants and their creative capacity in a positive, colourful way (or something along those lines says Google Translate). And they feature all sorts of other Rio goodies like streetstyle, music, and street art. My fav new site!

Like every other kid in the world, I always wanted to be an astronaut. At least, I thought that was a real possibility when I was in elementary school. Coincidentally, during that time, the movie Space Camp came out. It was about some teenagers that went to an overnight camp to learn about what it's like to fly the space shuttle. It's got some really big teen stars for the time and a very young Leaf (Joaquin) Phoenix. It's worth a watch on a rainy day.
I didn't even know a place like Space Camp existed, but I wanted, no needed, to go. I wrote to the camp for more information, and pleaded to my mother to let me go. Back then, it was a lot of money, and we just couldn't afford it.
The same year that Space Camp came out another little movie came out called Top Gun. Of course, like every other human in existence, it made me want to be a pilot. Then after doing a huge presentation on becoming a Naval aviator, ever the pragmatist, I decided that my lack of perfect vision and lack of desire to go into the military would likely prevent me from ever becoming Maverick.
Flash forward to the advent of social media, and my love of space came alive again. NASA is all over Twitter and Facebook, and not too long ago, Space Camp (the real one, not the movie) popped into my Twitter feed. The Kid has been asking to go to overnight camp for the last year, and next year might be the year for her. As I thought about it, I popped over to the Space Camp website to see if it was even an attainable goal. Boy, was I surprised!
Space Camp has so many more adventures than when I was a kid. It's located in Huntsville, Alabama connected to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. Not only do they still have Space Camp, for kids, adults, families, and educators, they also have an Aviation Challenge Camp (y'all, it's Top Gun camp) and a Robotics Camp. I was enchanted by all of the possibilities for The Kid, and after looking at the pricing, it's very reasonable for 5 full days and nights of camp. They also have a camp for homeschooling groups. Gotta love a place that recognizes the homeschool geek contingent.
So, now Space Camp was firmly back on my radar, and I loved seeing the Throwback pictures they would post on social media. So, imagine my surprise when @SpaceCamp on Twitter announced sign ups for their annual Space Camp TweetUp (#SCTweetUp). A TweetUp is a face to face meeting of a group of people connected through Twitter. This year's TweetUp is to celebrate their #YearofAviation. I figured it wouldn't hurt to sign up. Only 16 people would be chosen, so I didn't think there was much of a chance. However, I got an email last week letting me know I was one of the few chosen to attend. This Space Camp TweetUp will allow me to just get a little taste of Space Camp and Top Gun all at the same time! Woot!
It's now a little more than 36 hours away, and I can't wait. We will be participating in several of the activities that the Aviation Challenge campers participate in. There will be water rescue activities, aircraft tours, and aircraft simulators. There will be two guest speakers, astronaut Serena Aunon and Gail Williams from the Seasprite Helicopter Restoration Project.
Let me know what questions you want answered, and I will do my best to get them for you. Follow me on Twitter @geekysoutherner for all of the updates, tweets, and pictures on Saturday.

Dear Editor,
Stalin — Breaker of Nations by Robert Conquest (1991) covers the life of Joseph Stalin, from his childhood in Gori to his death at his Nearer dacha (Kuntsevo) near Moscow on March 5, 1953. This book is 346 pages, including bibliographical notes and index. The book is easy to read, well-organized, and ideal for the beginning student of Soviet history and Stalinism.
"As Lavrenti Beria stood over Joseph Stalin's deathbed in early March 1953, witnesses observed that he could barely contain his pleasure in watching the leader edge toward his final moments of life."
For weeks, Joseph Stalin had been plagued with dizzy spells and high blood pressure. His personal physician, Professor V. N. Vinogradov had advised that Stalin step down as head of the government for health reasons. That was not what Stalin wanted to hear from the good doctor.
