Matched his largest comeback after 54 holes (five strokes) with his victory. He also came back from five strokes behind after 54 holes to win the 2000 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am (Mark Brooks and Matt Gogel).

Prevailed after he birdied the par-5 18th hole on Monday afternoon to complete an even-par 71 in an 18-hole playoff and tie Mediate to force sudden death, beginning on the par-4 seventh hole. Hit the green in regulation and two-putted on the dogleg right while Mediate, who was aiming to become the oldest U.S. Open champion at age 45, drove into a fairway bunker and then missed a 20-foot par putt.

The victory was his third in the U.S. Open, his 14th major championship and the 65th of his TOUR career, third alone behind Sam Snead (82) and Jack Nicklaus (73).

Researchers from New Zealand's University of Otago studying 3000-year-old skeletons from the oldest known cemetery in the Pacific Islands are casting new light on the diet and lives of the enigmatic Lapita people, the likely ancestors of Polynesians.
Their results—obtained from analysing stable isotope ratios of three elements in the bone collagen of 49 adults buried at the Teouma archaeological site on Vanuatu's Efate Island—suggest that its early Lapita settlers ate reef fish, marine turtles, fruit bats, free-range pigs and chickens, rather than primarily relying on growing crops for human food and animal fodder. Read more.
Studies of old rubbish dumps and dirty dishes have revealed that, 6,000 years ago, ancient Britons gave up their passion for fish to begin a love affair with milk. The research by archaeologists and chemists from the University of Bristol and Cardiff University is published today in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The change by our ancestors from hunter-gathers to farmers is one of the most intensively researched aspects of archaeology. Now a large-scale investigation of British archaeological sites dating from around 4,600 BC to 1,400 AD has examined millions of fragments of bone and analysed over 1,000 cooking pots.
The team, led by Professor Richard Evershed of the University of Bristol's School of Chemistry, developed new techniques in an effort to identify fish oils in the pots. Read more.
University of Cincinnati archaeologists are turning up discoveries in the famed Roman city of Pompeii that are wiping out the historic perceptions of how the Romans dined, with the rich enjoying delicacies such as flamingos and the poor scrounging for soup or gruel. Steven Ellis, a University of Cincinnati associate professor of classics, will present these discoveries on Jan. 4, at the joint annual meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) and American Philological Association (APA) in Chicago.
UC teams of archaeologists have spent more than a decade at two city blocks within a non-elite district in the Roman city of Pompeii, which was buried under a volcano in 79 AD. The excavations are uncovering the earlier use of buildings that would have dated back to the 6th century. Read more.
ScienceDaily — While we may brush and floss tirelessly and our dentists may regularly scrape and pick at our teeth to minimize the formation of plaque known as tartar or dental calculus, anthropologists may be rejoicing at the fact that past civilizations were not so careful with their dental hygiene.
University of Nevada, Reno researchers G. Richard Scott and Simon R. Poulson discovered that very small particles of plaque removed from the teeth of ancient populations may provide good clues about their diets. Scott is chair and associate professor of anthropology in the College of Liberal Arts. Poulson is research professor of geological sciences in the Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering.
Scott obtained samples of dental calculus from 58 skeletons buried in the Cathedral of Santa Maria in northern Spain dating from the 11th to 19th centuries to conduct research on the diet of this ancient population. Read more.
New assessments by researchers using the latest high-tech tools to study the diets of early hominids are challenging long-held assumptions about what our ancestors ate, says a study by the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Arkansas.
By analyzing microscopic pits and scratches on hominid teeth, as well as stable isotopes of carbon found in teeth, researchers are getting a very different picture of the diet habitats of early hominids than that painted by the physical structure of the skull, jawbones and teeth. While some early hominids sported powerful jaws and large molars — including Paranthropus boisei, dubbed "Nutcracker Man" — they may have cracked nuts rarely if at all, said CU-Boulder anthropology Professor Matt Sponheimer, study co-author.
Such findings are forcing anthropologists to rethink long-held assumptions about early hominids, aided by technological tools that were unknown just a few years ago. A paper on the subject by Sponheimer and co-author Peter Ungar, a distinguished professor at the University of Arkansas, was published in the Oct. 14 issue of Science. Read more.

Pavement completely covered in large puddles of water. Have to walk on thr road in many places. This is not due to drains being bloked. Pavements have subsided and it's getting worse Clare Road is a nightmare and needs urgent attention
Pavement are dangerous both sides of clare road for pedestrian in wet weather especially the elderly and mothers with pushchairs and small children as in some place you need to walk in the road to keep your feet dry. This is not a drain problem the pavements have subsided.

Corruption dominates athletic commissions; Florida competes w/ California & Texas for most shameless
By Zach Arnold | December 22, 2012
While Alabama's athletic commission got whacked with an audit this week for faulty cash procedures, The Orange County Register wrote a dumb remark about the situation regarding California's athletic commission. When the Bureau of State Audits in California came out with their audit of CSAC, we promptly exposed the audit for the smokescreen that it is. The audit recommendations is a swerve to get the public at large to focus on a shiny object rather than address the real problems that the commission is facing (with the Department of Consumer Affairs & their golden boy Che Guevara as problem #1). However, we knew the BSA tactic would work in turning people the wrong way and it led to this gem from the OC Register editorial board:
For us, this also begs the question: Why do we even have an athletic commission? This seems a function suitable for privatization.
CSAC was fine as a self-sustaining operation. It wasn't until it was taken over by Sacramento and placed under DCA that things starts getting chaotic. The fruits of that policy are now exposed for everyone to see… but a lot of people are acting like Mr. Magoo on that front.
There's plenty of corruption and malfeasance with other state commissions, including Nevada & Texas. We are more than happy to report on these matters and investigate, but sources in both areas do not want to cooperate and you can't get blood out of a stone. Karim Zidan deserves attention for his coverage of matters regarding the Ohio Athletic Commission.
However, one state and its bureaucratic agency (the Department of Business & Professional Regulation) remains intent on competing with Che Guevara as the most inept & corrupt roadblock in combat sports — the state of Florida.
Jami Molloy receives a 'certificate of appreciation' from a sanctioning body in Florida
When disgraced schmuck Tom Molloy got canned for being a rotten & inept leader while running the Florida State Boxing Commission, his fellow henchmen (and wife Jami Alise (McClellan) Molloy) were also under DBPR payroll. When the state's audit exposed that Molloy & company only had one ticket manifest out of 51 shows that Florida regulated last year, that was more than enough ammunition for the state to fire everyone with cause.
So, why wasn't anyone other than Molloy fired? The answer is that Governor Rick Scott's DPBR has re-arranged the deck chairs and made sure that everyone, including Molloy's wife, stayed on the payroll financed by state taxpayers. Instead of these individuals being criminally charged for fraud and/or other counts regarding economic malfeasance in not collecting the proper event revenue for the state of Florida, Molloy's associates continue to draw DBPR paychecks. Molloy's wife continues to milk the taxpayer cash.
After we reported on Florida's state audit of the Boxing Commission (which was a preliminary report that had not been issued publicly) of Molloy, a state auditor was inserted into Molloy's position as figurehead for the boxing commission. A bean-counter role, in other words, and no experience in combat sports regulation. There were many people in both boxing & MMA circles in Florida who were happy to see Molloy get the axe and were hopeful that new bureaucrats would turn the climate into a more positive environment. However, much of that hope is now gone and there is a feeling amongst promoters that it's the 'same old, same old' environment. Molloy's associates remaining on taxpayer-funded payrolls and not being removed from DBPR has created legitimate cause for concern.
- Christa Patterson, who was Molloy's right-hand assistant, has been working at DBPR since February 8th, 1985 and continues to draw an annual salary of $49,500.
- Jami (Alise McClellan) Molloy, Tom Molloy's wife, has been working at DBPR since September 29th, 2006, and is drawing a salary of $36,500.
- Robin Kathleen Brown-Blake, Florida's equivalent to California AG office lawyer Karen Chappelle, has been working for the state of Florida since April 4th, 2008, at a salary of $54,200. Brown-Blake is to Florida's Boxing Commission as Karen Chappelle is to Che Guevara at CSAC hearings. Speaking of Che, multiple sources on background claim that he has taken the month off and that he feels his job security is air-tight.
- Ken Lawson, the top secretary of DBPR (salaried at $140,000/year since May 2nd, 2011), is Florida's equivalent of Denise Brown as the head honcho at California's Department of Consumer Affairs.
- Lawson's second-in-command, Tim Vaccaro, has been working at DBPR since October 12th, 1990, at an annual salary of $105,000. Vaccaro is Florida's equivalent of DCA's Awet Kidane. Kidane is DCA's version of Fredo Corleone.
All of these people are involved in the business affairs of the Florida State Boxing Commission. For such a damning internal state audit report implicating that only one regulated show in Fiscal Year 2011-2012 had a ticket manifest & correct tax records is absolutely grounds to give pink slips out to those who were complicit in the lack of oversight or had knowledge about the lack of oversight and didn't blow the whistle on what was going on. Instead, these people continue to suck away taxpayer cash from the residents of Florida. Not one Florida newspaper & TV outlet has even bothered taking a whack at the low-hanging fruit that is corruption at the Florida State Boxing Commission.

Great article & I applaud your efforts to expose, what I call, the 'secret squirrel
shit' that goes on behind the scenes of Florida Mixed Martial Arts. I'm not a newspaper or TV outlet, but I consider myself a media outlet and have been quite vocal about Tom Molloy and the FBC.
Just a few things I wanted to mention:
'So, why wasn't anyone other than Molloy fired?' – Not easy to fire other staff members from the office. Unless you have someone prepared to fill the role of the people that you have listed. It is easier and cost effective for DBPR to leave those that are already there, in place. The guy that was in charge was removed, too bad, it took six years for that to happen.
'…A bean-counter role, in other words, and no experience in combat sports regulation.' You are correct, Interim Executive Director Cynthia Hefren has no combat sports regulation experience whatsoever, but since the FBC office did such a poor job of bookkeeping, the 'bean counter' would be the best person to straighten it out.
I heard that Hefren was not interested in staying on as Executive Director and once the bookkeeping gets straightened out, that a permanent Executive Director, with combat sports (regulation) experience, will be appointed. Who will that be? I don't know who is in the running.
Recently, I received a message from someone who had applied for the job, who is probably the most qualified person for the position and was turned down for someone that is from Florida. It's a shame because this applicant, speaks three languages, english, spanish, & portugese, is currently working in that capacity in another state & has several years of combat sports regulation experience. Such is the case with MMA and Florida politics.
You gotta remember that to charge someone criminally, you have to prove intent. And I don't see the Attorney General spending any time/resources for this to happen. And no one in the FBC office is gonna say, 'yeah, I knew what was going on, but didn't say anything, because I was going to lose my job…'
It was easier and cost effective to remove Tom Molloy from his position than to criminally charge him with (whatever). This equates to having an employee stealing from a cash register and firing him than to have him arrested and go to trial.
'…much of that hope is now gone and there is a feeling amongst promoters that it's the 'same old, same old' environment.' It is still too early to judge the FBC new leadership. I would wait until a PERMANENT Executive Director gets appointed before judging. I heard the very same thing about 'same old, same old,' when Hefren was appointed. First, get the bookkeeping straightened out, then go from there. You can't run the office without having the finances in order. But I'll tell you that many promoters are unhappy because license fees, etc are going up.
Keep up the great research and writing! I don't have the hook that you do for info about the FBC.
Lastly, I will be posting more articles on the FBC on my site and facebook page soon. I'm just as curious as who will be made PERMANENT Executive Director of the FBC.
Has anyone looked into Jamie?
Has anyone noticed she married Tom when she was "already PREGNANT"? Has anyone questioned her mofive? Has anyone checked into her role as an inspector while she was interviewing Mr Malloy? Has anyone checked into her FALSIFIED REPORTS? She didn't state or document the truth….she KNOWINGLY AND SELF DECIDINGLY MADE THE DECISION TO FALSIFY REPORTS IN ORDER TO SEDUCE MALLOY. Check it out. A 28 year old hussy/slut seducing a 58 year old man. She was looking for a meal ticket
I have known Jami Molloy for a long time and the last thing she looks for is a free ride, hence her working since the age of 18 with the state of Florida. She is an investigator with the State and unfortunately one of the organizations ( AAMMA run by Larry and Alice Downs) she has investigated is facing charges involving FIGHTING/ EXPLOITING CHILDREN in MMA and have hashed this last ditch effort to point fingers by going after her and her Husbands character in the media. Don't believe everything you read, especially when the information only comes from one media source. If you would like TRUE facts check out Florida Division of Administrative Hearings website, case number 12-000142 and you will see who is ACTUALLY facing charges. AAMMA vs State of Florida
Please check out the 32 Page Administrative Court ruling that completely vindicated AAMMA of all wrong doing and the judge actually stated in her ruling that AAMMA is the opposite of what the Florida Boxing Commission and their regime trumped up in their false allegation and out right lies. Tom Molloy, Jami McClellan Molloy and Christa Patterson. etc. are the pieces of garbage that spewed lies about our organization. As you stated, don't believe everything you read….don't believe everything you hear, either, but you can believe this because it is backed by an Administrative Judge's ruling.
You must look into other Attorneys – i.e., April Skilling and Reginald Dixon's – roles in this as well, as they were general counsel at one time or another and provided legal cover. True political hacks, it will not take much to uncover additional waste of the taxpayer's trust and money. Good luck, may you continue the good fight against corruption and govt. abuse.
I think the State of Florida officials/legislators/law makers are a bunch of IDIOTS!!
Check out the "Ho!" Jami….
she thought she was going to have a life of luxury livingoff Mr. Molly, when at the end of hte day, he got fired, and she's making the money
has anyone checked to see if that baby is really Toms?
shes such a manipulative CHILD, that she got her self pregnant…..but is the baby really Toms? she has been known to sleep around. after all thats how she got to where she is today.
shes a girl that has boys on the side, thinking the man "TOm" would take care of her….what a bitch!!! what a slut!!

Documentation Sucks for newbies
22 June 2009 at 11:42am
I'm quickly loosing confidence in being able to create websites in SS because of the poor documentation.
I can't seem to get modules such as Newsletter or Gallery working. I'm sure if there was bettwer documentation then I'd be able to get it all up and running.
Things that are missing as regards to documentation are:
Where exactly do you place the extraced folders and files
What do you need to rename (a lot of support docs say "oh - you need to rename the folder blah blah..)
Which file do you need to edit to include the updates (_config.php - but which one in which folder structure)
Which release of SS does a particular module support
What are the latest trunk releases and where do you extract the files to?
Screen dumps of the major steps would be very welcome.

I agree that it would be great to get these modules to a more polished state. However, the lack of documentation is one of the reasons why those modules are listed in the "unsupported modules" section.
Realistically, getting these modules more polished in the near future is probably only going to happen if someone puts up their hand and offers to do this work.
If anyone is interested, posting to http://groups.google.com/group/silverstripe-dev would be appropriate.

Where exactly do you place the extraced folders and files. What do you need to rename (a lot of support docs say "oh - you need to rename the folder blah blah..)
There is no general 'How to Install Modules' page with 'Just extract it to the root folder, heres a screenshot of what the folder structure should look like'. Its really straightforward but if you have never done it before you still have to find out somewhere. Each INSTALL file contains the instructions but it would be handy to just have a global install info page. I might knock one up tonight.
Re: Documentation Sucks for newbies

A general "How to install modules and trunk builds" would be very very helpful.
Thanks for your reply.

Hi Sam..
I don't mind writing up some documentation on how to use the modules etc. if this is all that's standing in the way of them being supported modules.
At the moment, I'm going to be using the newsletter, gallery and google analytics modules or code to implement some websites.
Let me know what I would need to do to help contribute.

I have started a basic overview to installing modules on the wiki - http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=installing-modules
If I have missed anything or you believe a part could be expanded on / tidied up I fully recommend you add your thoughts to that installation page.

Thanks for the offer to help with docs, Gravitational FX.
The following wiki pages provide the documentation as it currently stands:
You can sign up for an account on the wiki to edit those pages.
As for whether that's all that stands in the way of them being supported modules, well, no, it isn't - you also need someone who is going to fix bugs, etc! However, we are trying to find a maintainer for the googleanalytics and newsletter modules right now.

I am a Paladin myself and I picked my class beacause of the ability to be a strong support class with heals,judgements and blessings. If a player wants to be a tank and have no other role, they should roll a Warrior. If they dont mind having multiple roles then a Druid or Paladin is a way to go. Dont roll a healing class and expect to never have to fill that role. I think Warrior's should be the ultimate tank, otherwise just delete the class and fold it's abilities into other classes.

I'm now at 1,756! Man, it's not going to take me very long at all to tear through this century.
1756 was a HUGE year! In it we have the birth of Mozart and the start of the Third Silesian War, which also marked the beginning of the Seven Years' War.
Also, in 1755, Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna was born to Maria Theresa. I decided not to make a separate post about her, because her birth was late in the year and it seemed easier to condense it into one post.
Let's go chronologically, shall we?
First off the birth of Marie Antoinette:
She was born in Vienna on November 2nd, 1755 to Maria Theresa of Austria and Holy Roman Emperor Francis I, and was their 15th child.
She had a reasonably happy and comfortable childhood, where she was encouraged to play with "common" children and enjoyed a lax court atmosphere where she was known by the name of Antonia. She loved dolls and was an excellent dancer, as well as a reasonably talented musician and singer, but she neglected her other studies.
She was very close with her older sister Maria Carolina, because, as the two youngest girls, they shared governesses.
However, she was somewhat neglected by her mother, and said later that she feared Maria Theresa more than she loved her. Such neglect is a little understandable with the perspective that the Empress of Austria had nearly all her children during a war, and that war was, more often than not, with Prussia. For instance, at the time of Marie Antoinette's birth, Austria was preparing to initiate the Third Silesian War, the nation's third and final attempt to take Silesia back from Prussia.
Which brings us to 1756!
As mentioned in my previous post on the year 1740, King Frederick the Great of Prussia leapt into action the moment he ascended and took the Duchy of Silesia. Maria Theresa had been encouraged to fight for the region rather than give in to the initial deals of the Prussians by her advisers, but the Austrian army failed dismally at protecting the region.
Austria attempted to take Silesia back in 1744, in what is now known as the Second Silesian War, which is part of the larger War of Austrian Succession, but again failed dismally. During one of the battles, the Prussians secured such a decisive victory that one of the most famous German marches has been written about it: The Hohenfriedberg March.
The Third Silesian war began in 1756, and it was part of the larger Seven Years' War, which was very much a global conflict:
The green is Austria, France, Spain, Russia, Sweden, and others, while the blue is Prussia, England, Portugal, and others.
Maria Theresa worked hard to gain more allies for this attempt at Silesia, and, while England switched sides and joined Prussia in 1756, she still had a very formidable army.
Things went very well at the beginning, and Austria faced the possibility of finally gaining the Duchy back. However, in 1763, they were abandoned by their Russian ally when a new monarch ascended to the throne, and things quickly declined from there.
Other sub-wars going on during the greater conflict of the Seven Years' War included the French and Indian War, in which England and France battled in North America. This war is notable for its use of Native American allies on both sides, hence the name. The war initially went very badly for Britain, with several failed campaigns and heavy losses. In the end they managed to win by sheer numbers, as France focused most of their military effort on fighting Prussia on the European continent.
The repercussions of the French and Indian War, such as the increased taxes on the colonists and the setting of boundaries to westward expansion, would later feed into the unrest that lead to the War of American Independence a few years later.
Our final notable event for the year 1756 is the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!
Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, on January 27th, 1756, and his baptismal name is Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart.
From a very young age he showed musical talent, and was composing bits of music when he was only 5 years old. His father, who was deputy Kapellmeister for the Archbishop of Salzburg, recognised his son's talents and immediately went on tour with him, billing him and his sister as musical prodigies. They visited the courts of Prague, Vienna, Paris, London, and many others, and Mozart met many composers who would influence his work.
After this three-year tour, he had a short rest before leaving with his father to Italy, where his father hoped he would gain patronage. These hopes were unfulfilled, but Mozart did grow as a composer as a result of the tour.
He also, incidentally, became a sort of pirate. No, not the sea-faring ones of the Caribbean, but a thief of intellectual property. When he was in Rome, he heard Gregorio Allegri's Miserere, performed in the Sistine Chapel. The piece was a closely guarded secret of the Vatican, but after hearing it just twice, Mozart was able to produce an unauthorised copy of the sheet music from memory.
So there you have it, Mozart the Music Pirate.

Recent Highway 50 tragedies prompt zero-tolerance policy by Carson City Sheriff's Office
CARSON CITY — Anyone who has lived in Nevada for very long knows that U.S. Highway 50 is dubbed "The loneliest road in America." For those of us who have travelled its length through the Silver State, we find a mix of beauty and desolation.
If you have travelled it often, you no doubt have had your share of scary moments. Everything from the errant cow in the road to the inattentive driver who frightens you as they cross the center of the roadway and then, realizing they have done so, return quickly before the two of you pass.
For the most part, these are rural issues and are some of the risk we take whenever we get behind the wheel for an extended trip. But, what about Highway 50 when it enters into a more urban area?
What obstacles do we face? In the past few months we have seen many tragedies in our section of the highway. For the first part of this release I would like to address the issue of pedestrians. Ever since we were small children we were taught to look both ways before crossing a street and to always use the crosswalks.
Somewhere along the line as we entered adulthood those messages seemed to have faded from memory for many. It is not uncommon for someone to cross against a light, jaywalk, or worse yet, leave their lives in fates' hands as they cross a busy highway, especially at night.
Just as drivers have a responsibility to look out for pedestrians, pedestrians have a responsibility to ensure that they do not put others at risk by their actions. Let's face it, poor decision making leads to death. When you cross a busy highway without utilizing the provided crosswalks and signal lights, you are putting yourself and others in harms way.
The chain of events that follow touch everyone you know and even those you don't. Responding emergency personnel, witnesses, involved individuals and your family are all affected by your decision to cross.
As I write this, I can hear the sirens from emergency vehicles as they respond to another crash on Highway 50. This one is very close to another crash that claimed lives in the same vicinity near the top of what we know as "Dump Hill."
What will be the determination of this crash? Driving while intoxicated? Driver inattention? Cell phone use? The mind spins with questions on how this happened and what can be done to reduce such tragedy in the future.
Later as I speak with Carson City Sheriff Furlong about the most recent crash I am told that these situations have not gone unnoticed. Currently the Carson City Sheriff's Office is working with the Nevada Highway Patrol, Lyon County Sheriff's Office, as well as the Nevada Department of Transportation in an effort to find a way to "change the characteristics of the drivers who travel on Highway 50."
This will be a long term solution with the public's safety being the most important part of any plan that is developed. In the meantime, a zero tolerance for traffic-related offenses will be initiated.
As a citizen of this and the surrounding communities, you have an expectation that law enforcement will do everything in its power to protect those who travel on the roadways within your area.
Help us help you. Drive defensively, watch for pedestrians, put down the cell phone and enjoy the drive. let's not make Highway 50 "The deadliest road in America."
