Former Judas Priest guitarist KK Downing has unveiled plans to re-establish the Midlands as the center of the heavy metal universe by becoming a promoter.
The acclaimed axeman has kicked off his new career with the launch of The Future of Heavy Metal, a venture which he hopes will help young hard rock bands follow in the footsteps of legends like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest.
The initiative, a new business venture in partnership with experienced promoter Dave Coleman, aims to offer a live music platform to showcase the heavy metal stars of tomorrow.
With Midland gigs in Birmingham and Wolverhampton already under their belt Mr. Downing and Mr. Coleman now plan to roll the idea out further afield with tours around the country.
The first crop of bands being showcased include Midland acts Hostile, Under Blackened Skies and Fury, along with French band Moray Firth.
Downing said becoming involved with the local rock scene, which included writing a song for Wednesbury outfit Hostile, brought a realization of just how difficult it is for raw talent to progress.
"This is a new venture for us, but we hope to roll it out around the UK, I felt that I wanted to give something back and this seems like an ideal way," he said.
"I think the way the industry is now it is exceptionally tough for young bands as there is no one around any more who is willing to back and support them. In the past when you had some interest from managers or record companies you could get advances. Record companies would give an advance to buy instruments or make a record. That's not happening any more. It's going from bad to worse too and bands are actually being asked to pay to buy onto a tour which goes against the grain. Young bands can't afford that. Some would be prepared to play for no fee and are willing to sleep in the van as we did in the old days..But to find the money to pay as a guest is not do-able unless they have got rich parents."
KK, who owns the championship golf course Astbury Hall near Bridgnorth, said the idea of a mini-tour with a selection of bands seemed like the ideal way to help younger bands get exposure and playing experience.
Reflecting on his own experiences he said Judas Priest stepped up to a different level after securing a tour with Budgie.
"We did 50-odd concerts and the experience of playing five or six times a week was invaluable," he said. "Bands today are never going to get their act together until they get out there playing with other bands and getting some touring experience. That's where you find out your weaknesses as you are being put out there with major acts. We would tour with Kiss, Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. You get out there and see the audience reaction. If you are not getting it you have to ask yourself what have these guys got that you haven't and you learn so much from people who have honed their skills to perfection – it rubs off on you..This is what these guys need – it will help give them confidence and that is what The Future of Metal is aiming to do."

There are a lot of good points about buying a maxi scooter like the SR Max. Fuel economy is one, simplicity is the other. There aren't many full-licenced motorcyclists who would buy a scooter on these benefits alone because of the image they portray of being 'a ladies bike'. Maybe this is why Aprilia has wound up the 'sport-styling' knob ...

Practicality and convenience are where today's large capacity scooters come into their own. Such an example is Kymco's new 300i Downtown – we say example because it is a new arrival in a growing populace of big-bore four-stroke scooters.At £3999, the Kymco's 300cc capacity sits performance-wise between Suzuki's Burgman 200 and 400 machines, and matches Honda's SH300i. What sets the ...

The Gilera Nexus sits between the Nexus 125 and the Nexus 500 as the mid-capacity sporty scooter in the Gilera range. The design is based around the concept of a sportsbike, but adapted for a CVT step-through scooter. It's certainly sportier than most big scoots – but essentially it's a commuter with a sports image.

The Aprilia Atlantic 500 is somewhat boat-like as super scooters go, and heavy with it, but the Atlantic is nevertheless remarkably sprightly. 2005's updates modernised the look and updated the frame and suspension. The Aprilia Atlantic 500 is roomy, stable, practical, rides well with great brakes and lots of nice little touches. Even hardcore bikers could have fun on this.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I loved the sword/dagger combo I had way back when I was leveling in BC. Maces never fit and axes aren't exactly sleek. A sword, however, works. I think it works very well, especially if you look at combat as a swashbuckler. Even two swords makes sense. However, I hate the dual axes I picked up in ICC, and I hate how my T10 looks like a gimped warrior set. I'm not a warrior. I may not play like a shadowy assassin but I'm still light on my feet and I use dirty tactics to win a fight. The aesthetic of my class should be significantly different than the other melee.
From a gameplay standpoint I support the use of maces and axes because they give us flexibility. What I don't like is when they're the only choice, or when they're not a choice at all. I wanted to replace my BC swords with another pair of swords but axes were the best weapons I could find for my mainhand and there isn't a suitable offhand sword in the entirety of ICC. I considered giving maces a try for the ArP bonus but it was impossible to pick up a set because there weren't any DPS maces that were fast enough for my OH.
So weapon agnosticism is a wonderful thing. It's a lot more freeing than the old system. Ideally it'll let me get upgrades faster than I did in Wrath but I hope there's a degree of choice. I never wanted to take axes but I did because that's what dropped. I had every intention of replacing them with swords ASAP... except there aren't any in the current tier of content. That was a major disappointment and it's part of the reason I would have given up the class if the changes in 4.0 hadn't reinvigorated my interest. (Finally something to press besides Sinister Strike! And Subtlety is viable? This really is the apocalypse!)

- What is the Selection Process?
The application and essay are reviewed for the applicant's potential match with the program. Selected candidates are required to interview with the Honors Council as part of the final application process. Once the interviews are completed, the Honors Council makes its final decisions and offers invitations to the chosen applicants.
- Why should I want to be in the Honors Program?
More than a thousand colleges have established honors programs precisely because good students do better in them! Without a peer group that values academic excellence, social life can easily become more important than studying. Talented students can be bored in normal classes and coast through or put off simple assignments (just as they did in high school). Unfortunately, students who avoid challenges and try to take the easy way out often face severe shocks in college (it's not grade 13!) and graduate with mediocre academic records. If you want to go to graduate school, you will want to show the best you can be with your undergraduate record. Membership in an honors program shows a level of self-discipline, motivation and performance that graduate schools and prospective employers like to see.
- Am I going to take all honors courses during my four years at UIW? I'm worried about the work load.
There are ten honors courses in the curriculum including the senior project; seven are required and the other three are for those who need the credit in world literature, history and science to fulfill their core curriculum requirements. The honors classes are spread out over your four years of undergraduate study. That means you may take one to two honors classes per semester. Your senior honors project, conducted in your major, is managed with the help of a faculty mentor over an 18-24 month time frame. The long time frame allows you to spread the work out so the load is manageable and not overwhelming.
- What's the difference between a regular class and an honors class?
An honors class uses the program's theme, "What does it mean to be human?," as a unique lens through which the various topics are examined. For example, the world literature course looks at the human struggle and the role of the oppressed and the oppressor in various scenarios. Generally, you will find that honors classes tend to be more interdisciplinary in nature and are more interactive. In addition, the class discussions and assignments in an honors class require a deeper level of critical thinking. There won't be more assignments; the challenge is in the type of assignments you receive.
- Can I sit in on an honors class?
Absolutely. Simply contact the director of the Honors Program at 210-832-3211 or at email@example.com in order to find out when the classes meet and how you can sit in.
- Do I get extra scholarship money by getting in the Honors Program?
There is no additional scholarship money at this time for admittance to the honors program. However, the Honors Program supports its students with extra experiences and funding. For example, you will have access to funds within the Office of Research and Graduate Studies for your senior project. We will pay your way to participate in a social justice trip during your undergraduate years, for your attendance at specified workshops such as graduate school preparation and leadership development and to professional performances such as the symphony, ballet, theater or opera.
- Does participation in an Honors Program really matter?
Yes, it will speak volumes about your abilities and aspirations. Students in Honors programs are widely recognized as being the best students at a college, having both superior academic ability and the motivation to make the most of their college experience. Consider what an American college degree means to the general public. Because there are more than 3000 colleges and universities in the United States, most people have no way of evaluating the quality of colleges in their local area. But people do know that if you join an honors program, you are a superior student who is clearly committed to getting the best education-the best courses and professors-available to you.
- Once I'm in the program what are the requirements to stay in the UIW Honors Program?
All honors students follow the honors curriculum, completing all seven required courses and those among the three optional courses needed to fulfill graduation requirements. All honors students graduate Cum Laude, which means a 3.5 GPA. Each semester, the Director checks in with every student to discuss their progress towards this goal. Also each semester, students attend three events of their choosing: one service, one cultural and a third that can be in any category of service, cultural or academic. The idea behind this requirement is to practice reaching out to others that need assistance, to gain leadership and organizational skills, to expand personal experience of the arts and to gain exposure to subjects outside the major. The bonus is that honors students get a jump on fulfilling the university's 45-hour community service requirement. There are also monthly meetings for all honors students to attend, similar to any student club on campus. Finally, we strongly encourage every student to attend one of the social justice trips offered each year.
- How do I apply to the UIW Honors Program?
The student must submit an essay from the SAT or ACT testing along with the completed online application. Request an application from the Honors Director by completing an inquiry form on this website. The Director will then email the link to the application. Selected applicants interview with the Honors Council as part of the final application process. Once the interviews are completed, the Honors Council makes its final decisions and offers invitations to the chosen applicants.
If you have other questions not answered here, fill out our online inquiry form to get more information.

Thông tin về BlackBerry 9320 này đã xuất hiện khá lâu và cũng thỉnh thoảng lại có vài thông tin mới về nó. Hôm nay, RIM đã chính thức công bố thông tin về chiếc BB mới nhất trong dòng Curve này. Có 3 đặc điểm của chiếc Curve 9320 được RIM nhấn mạnh là về kiểu dáng cùng phím cứng BBM; chạy HĐH mới nhất OS 7.1 với wi-fi hotspot và FM Radio; và Parental Controls
Hey #TeamBlackBerry, we've got someone we want you to meet –- the newest member of the BlackBerry® Curve™ family of smartphones! We're very proud to present the BlackBerry® Curve™ 9320, a stylish new smartphone for the socially-connected. I've got my hands on one of these smartphones right now, and I wanted to give you the heads up on three things you should know about this new BlackBerry Curve smartphone:
Style meets practicality
The first thing I noticed was just how well the BlackBerry Curve 9320 smartphone fit in my hand, and how good it looks at the same time. If you're someone who's really into messaging and social networking this BlackBerry smartphone is a wise choice. You get the best in class QWERTY keyboard for easy typing, a dedicated button for BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™) — !!! — and it's available in multiple colors so you can express your personal style. (Note: Please check with your carrier for color availability.)
Next Generation BlackBerry 7.1 OS
After you turn the BlackBerry Curve 9320 smartphone on and start it up, you'll notice that it's runningBlackBerry® 7.1 OS. It gives you a smooth and fast BlackBerry smartphone experience, which I noticed most while I was browsing the web. The new OS adds features like Mobile Hotspot (Wi-Fi® sharing), which allows you to connect up to five additional devices*. It also has FM radio so you can tune into your favorite local radio stations.
Peace of mind at your fingertips with Parental Controls
For you parents out there considering the purchase of a smartphone to stay in touch, rest assured that your child or teen can safely use their BlackBerry Curve 9320 smartphone to have fun while giving you peace of minds thanks to new parental controls. With Parental Controls, you have the ability to limit or restrict certain phone numbers, websites, and various social networking apps.
Well, there you have it: three things you should know about the BlackBerry Curve 9320. It's designed to make messaging and accessing social networks incredibly easy, it's running the latest BlackBerry OS, and it features handy parental controls for peace of mind. I think this may just be one of the best BlackBerry Curvesmartphones for someone who is considering their first smartphone.
Pricing and availability of the BlackBerry Curve 9320 will be announced in conjunction with RIM's distribution partners.
RIM vẫn chưa công bố giá, nhưng chắc cũng xấp xỉ 9220

Miley Cyrus has given Lil' Kim rap protégée Tiffany Foxx a publicity boost after filming a cameo for her new video.
Bing: Miley Cyrus shocks rap producers with explicit performance
The former Disney star reached out to Foxx on Twitter recently to reveal she was a fan, and the pair appear to have hit it off, even exchanging private messages via the site. Foxx invited Cyrus to make an appearance in the video for her Lil' Kim duet "Twisted," and Cyrus took her up on the offer, showing up to the set on Sunday to meet the aspiring star in person, reports AllHipHop.com.
Photos from the video shoot have since surfaced online, with Cyrus, dressed in black-and-white striped pants, posing for pictures alongside a dolled-up Foxx and Kim.

Reconfiguring or reproducing intra-professional boundaries? Specialist expertise, generalist knowledge and the 'modernization' of the medical workforce
Martin, Graham P. and Currie, Graeme and Finn, Rachael (2009) Reconfiguring or reproducing intra-professional boundaries? Specialist expertise, generalist knowledge and the 'modernization' of the medical workforce. Social Science & Medicine, 68 (7). pp. 1191-1198.
Official URL: http://www.elsevier.com/locate/socscimed
Efforts to 'modernize' the clinical workforce of the English National Health Service have sought to reconfigure the responsibilities of professional groups in pursuit of more effective, joined-up service provision. Such efforts have met resistance from professions eager to protect their jurisdictions, deploying legitimacy claims familiar from the insights of the sociology of professions. Yet to date few studies of professional boundaries have grounded these insights in the specific context of policy challenges to the inter- and intra-professional division of labour, in relation the medical profession and other health-related occupations. In this paper we address this gap by considering the experience of newly instituted general practitioners (family physicians) with a special interest (GPSIs) in genetics, introduced to improve genetics knowledge and practice in primary care. Using qualitative data from four comparative case studies, we discuss how an established intra-professional division of labour within medicine—between clinical geneticists and GPs—was opened, negotiated and reclosed in these sites. We discuss the contrasting attitudes towards the nature of genetics knowledge and its application of GPSIs and geneticists, and how these were used to advance conflicting visions of what the nascent GPSI role should involve. In particular, we show how the claims to knowledge of geneticists and GPSIs interacted with wider policy pressures to produce a rather more conservative redistribution of power and responsibility across the intra-professional boundary than the rhetoric of modernization might suggest.

Delivery Room Confessions from Dads
What he really thinks about when he's looking "down there!"
In this installment of Dadlogic, "Moment of Truth" host Mark L. Walberg, KIIS-FM host JoJo Wright, retired NFL player Femi Ayanbadejo and Jeff Sebelia of "Project Runway"' tell us what they were really thinking in the delivery room. What they've got to say is eye-opening.
Do you agree with what they had to say? Watch for more Dadlogic, coming soon.
evil end? your child your little love came out of that "evil end"
yeah I would definitely agree with those guys and I'm a woman who just gave birth to my son. It certainly did smell evil so yeah it was at the time the "evil end". People in America need to stop being so sensitive. In reality, it was gross even from my point of view. It was a beautiful yet disgusting process
Being a former nurse and having 3 beautiful children with my wife now I will tell you I made it a point to avoid looking down there [yes she knows that] because there are just some things that get etched into your memory after seeing them. It wasn't my job to play catch this time so I just waited, cut the cord, then held the precious little bundles after they were cleaned up.
You always hear men commenting on the gross aspects (yes there are many gross aspects)of delivery so I'm glad to hear them comment on the good parts for a change.
that was beautiful, guys!
I delivered my granddaughter with the help of a midwife, while my son-in-law helped keep my daughter focused. All natural, no drugs, and the baby was 9 pounds 15 ounces. Absolutely incredible experience. This was her fourth baby and we only missed the birth of one by five minutes. I don't remember anything 'smelly' or nasty at all, just a beautiful baby girl with healthy lungs.
I remember all of the five the first was natural the 5th was c section and the most awesome thing ever seen pulling the child from the foot out from under the rib cage.Alot of fluids and blood but still the most Beautiful sight ever,the little boy cleaned up fine and was fine.Who could think there wasnt a God after seeing a miracle like this born .Its now 15 years later .I as a father am still thankful and grateful to say Tahnk God for my family…Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night ..P.S apply your own GOD to this story if you dont agree with mine ..
Great piece Momlogic, we just gave it a Tweet! We interviewed many experienced fathers when creating The GoodFather line for expecting dads and heard many positive delivery stories like this from our new fathers as well.
Thanks again for including dads in Momlogic!
~ Dr.MOZ
Very sweet. I want to see more of this episode. Femi is so cute.
My first daughter was born via emergency c-section. My husband accidentally caught a glimpse behind the surgical curtain on his way to the table where they placed our daughter. The surgeon was sewing up my uterus. Husband quipped "At least we don't have to take THAT home. It looks like a pot roast!" The surgeon then popped it back in to me & hubby screached like Homer Simpson.
Another accidental glimpse following the VBAC birth of our second daughter. He did a funny hopping "dance" while saying "Ew! Ew! It looks like someone dumped a plate of lasagna on your lap!"
Odd man.
It doesn't say much for the maturity of these dads. Smelly? Sex is smelly, too, but they don't seem to mind that. Sorry, guys, but that's just a few steps beyond the body wash commercials.
What's wrong with saying it stinks? Of course it does. It doesn't take away from the miracle you witness.
Exactly, "Mom of one, auntie of 4", there's nothing wrong with saying that it stinks. Many people don't even know about details such as that. It's so cute how the guys are so passionate about their participation.
THe whole process is like a scene out of the movie alien. It is a miracle, but it is disgusting.
You know, women have to go through this all the pain, it wouldnt kill a man to actually look past the smell and blood, and see its actually a beautiful thing.
Is it odd that I don't remember anything smelly? I remember no smells whatsoever?
Thank you very much for this video. It is awesome to see some proud and happy fathers.

Release Date:December 11, 2013
It's that time in this noir book where we see "behind the scenes," so to speak, of Weaver's enemy (who isn't?), the mysterious organization known as CADRE.
We have it from my exclusive interview with writer Andy Diggle that much of what Deacon Styles has told us about CADRE is true. But is that
Speaking of "da boss," Styles is shaping up to be quite the character. Diggle hints that #6 will be a blood bath at his hands, but Uncanny #5 shows Styles using his "Active" talents and it's not exactly a walk in the park for his foes. Gory!
Meanwhile, back with our "heroes," Weaver and Maggie are undergoing da woiks in CADRE's lab as we ourselves explore that group. They not only want to know about the Actives' powers, but how they react under specific circumstances. Very interesting.
And then there is that @#$# Wolf! Hmm …
I am loving this book, and Aaron Campbell's compelling art is just a cherry on top of a very enjoyable Diggle-made sundae.
Noir indeed!

I use operant conditioning to study the sensory abilities of bumblebees, in particular, their newly discovered ability to perceive floral electric fields.
I am currently investigating the ecological utility of this sense for bees and flowers in the wild, using large-scale field experiments with honeybee colonies, and large, purpose-built electric field generators in the laboratory.
I moved into biology after a gaining an MSci in physics from Bristol university in 2010. I aim to apply the physical intuition learned as an undergraduate to the biological problems I study as a graduate student.

Hint: It's not part of an echidna.
It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection. These are the times when maps fade, old landmarks crumble and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

Music Meter Monday: Michael Kiwanuka
It's Monday, folks, which means the end of the weekend, the beginning of the work week and — on a much more positive note (pun intended) — another edition of Music Meter Monday, a weekly feature in which we highlight bands who are climbing the MTV Music Meter. This week, we caught up with singer Michael Kiwanuka, a British soul musician who — despite boasting a voice to rival the revered icons of his genre — didn't think he could sing until roughly five years ago.
Kiwanuka's first LP, Home Again, dropped at the beginning of this month in the U.S. — a hotly anticipated release given the polish and uniqueness of previous singles. Like Cults, Ben Howard and musicians of that ilk, Kiwanuka's sound is not of this era — his voice has garnered him comparisons to the likes of Bill Withers and Otis Redding.
Despite his impressive pipes, the soft-spoken 25-year-old wasn't comfortable with his unique voice until five years ago, when he started adding vocals to his already honed guitar skills. The O Music Blog caught up with Kiwanuka to discuss getting over vocal insecurities, his songwriting process and his brand new album. Check out our Q&A below:
So you must be pretty excited that your album is finally out.
Yeah, really excited. Obviously, I've never released an album before, so it's all pretty exciting. I can't imagine it getting old, but it's definitely nice to release something that you've been working on and see the artwork and stuff. It's been a roller coaster — it came out over here [in the UK] in March, and now it's coming out over there in the U.S. It's a dream come true.
So you've released a few EPs before. Was it different to release an LP? I know people were really looking forward to it.
I've never really known what it was like to put music out — obviously my music is pretty personal, so it's quite scary as well as exciting. People are asking questions about the songs. It's kind of a bit crazy. But it's always such a nice experience to be able to express [myself] — I can only express myself through music, really. To be able to have an outlet is really nice.
I heard you were in a couple of bands growing up. Did you ever release albums then? Like the kind that you put out in high school?
No, no. We recorded gigs and stuff and we tried to do recordings and CDs, but nothing really happened. It was quite hard…. It was quite hard to get everyone putting in one hundred percent.
So what was your earliest musical memory? I know you've been into music for a long time.
I was at school and there were loads of guitar bands in school, so that's why I play guitar. We had an assembly, a music assembly, where we had talks for a half an hour. Instead, this time, there was this cool band that played just the guitar, bass and drums. I remember thinking that that was amazing and going home and asking to play guitar after that. That was certainly my earliest memory of connecting with music.
So you started playing guitar first? When did you realize that you have the voice that you do?
Around 20 years old. I used to sing a little in secondary school, and people would give nice comments about my singing. I never really took it seriously and had the confidence to come out and be a singer until I was about 20 years old.
20 years old? And you're in your early 20s!
Yeah, it was my birthday [recently], so I'm 25. I was quite late, I guess.
So what was stopping you from singing? I talked to Chris Owens from Girls once and he said that he didn't think he had a good voice for a long time — that when he sang, he kind of made fun of himself. What made you change your mind?
When I was singing, the sound of it just kind of shocked me a bit. That wasn't what I expected to hear through speaking. I'd record school concerts and I might be singing with my guitar, and I just kind of like cringe at the sound of it. You kind of know quite early that [my singing voices] comes out quite different than my talking voice. I just kind of hated it. What came me around to it was I love writing songs, and no one else would sing my songs — they're quite personal songs and no one else would be able to sing them. So I thought I better get over it.
So when did you decide on your sound?
I think my first gig…. I was like 22 years old and me and my friends got a gig at this pub. I just sang for 45 minutes, the songs I had. I was nervous, but I really enjoyed it. That really left a mark.
So what's your songwriting process like? You say it's really personal to you?
I start with a guitar and and write chords and a rhythm — that usually inspires a melody. Then the words kind of come through what's happening in my head at the time. Usually what I'm feeling inspires me to sit down and write a song.
And had you done any other kind of writing before that? Poetry or anything?
Not really. I mean, I remember my mom saying my grammar was really bad and stuff. But I used to have good ideas. So people would say, 'He had a good imagination.' I tried to write stories, but my grammar is really bad.
So your sound — it seems like there's so many bands nowadays that are becoming popular for having a kind of throwback-y sound. Was it a conscious decision on your part to have this kind of sound? Why do you think it's so popular now?
For me it wasn't really a conscious thing — I kind of always fell into that. When I discovered that kind of music when I was 14 years old I pretty much always knew I wanted to make music like that. I've always loved this music. I think in terms of the popularity, it's just like a cycle. For me, I think it's lucky that I put out an album around the time that [this kind of music is popular].

June Jones will have a Merry Christmas after SMU officials gave him a three-year contract extension on Monday.
The SMU football coach will be at the University Park campus through 2017 if he serves the entirety of the deal.
"I appreciate the opportunity to continue the work we began six years ago. There is no place I'd rather be than here at SMU," said Jones in a release. "I am proud of the progress we have made thus far, but many goals remain unfinished, including restoring SMU football's championship tradition."
SMU finished 2013 with a losing record, 5-7, failing to make a bowl game for the first time in four years. It was SMU's first season in the American Athletic Conference after several years as members of Conference USA.
Jones' record at SMU in six seasons is 36-41 with three bowl wins, but no conference titles.
"We look forward to partnering with Coach Jones as we now set our sights on the next phase of our rise to prominence: establishing SMU football as a championship program," said SMU Athletic Director Rick Hart in a release.
Jones was hired by SMU in 2008 after he took the University of Hawaii to a BCS bowl game in the 2007 season.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Former Ryder Cup players Oliver Wilson and Niclas Fasth and triple European Tour winner Nick Dougherty have lost their playing privileges for 2012.
Britons Wilson and Dougherty missed the cut on Friday at the Hong Kong Open, the final full-field event of the season, leaving them outside the top 115 in the order of merit who gain tour cards.
Swede Fasth, 39, a six-times tour winner who played in the 2002 Ryder Cup team, is 132nd on the money-list and could not improve his ranking after missing the Hong Kong event.
Wilson, 31, a member of the 2008 Ryder Cup side, loses his tour card for the first time since joining the circuit full time in 2005.
Dougherty, 29, who has made only one cut in a desperately disappointing season, won the 2005 Caltex Masters in Singapore, the 2007 Dunhill Links Championship and the 2009 BMW International Open.

Council still tight despite casino divide: Watts, Rasode
Christopher Poon, Now staffPublished: Monday, January 28, 2013
One disagreement does not a rift make.
That's the message from Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts following reports last week that there was a divide among Surrey council following the rejected South Surrey casino proposal a week prior.
While other reports have made note of a "rift" at city hall following the decision, Watts said council is always free to vote their own way, and that Surrey First, the slate under which all of council ran, did not mean it was a political party.
Despite differing votes, Mayor Dianne Watts and Coun. Barinder Rasode say there is no "rift" at city hall.
"I just got back to who is Surrey First. Council members are independent, they always have a free vote so there's no block voting," she said.
"We are a coalition of independent elected officials that span the political spectrum - which we do - and there's a commitment to speak to the issues, so I don't think one decision would be cause for a rift."
Reports of a divide at city hall came after the four councillors who voted in favour of the casino issued a press release explaining their decisions as to why they voted the way they did, while others were left explaining their reasons through other media.
However, Coun. Barinder Rasode, one of the four who voted in favour of the $100 million project, said there is no such rift.
"No, we have a very strong council," she said. "We were elected as a group of independents that believe in some of the same overriding principles for our city."
As for comments in other media where she was quoted as saying council needed to go back and reassess their vision as a group, Rasode said the comment was made in terms of vision for the property of the proposed casino only.
"That property is still going to be developed and I just don't want it to end up being a strip mall or a lower-model shop," said Rasode. "So I think there's a conversation to be had (about the site's future)."
Rasode added that the press release issued by the four in favour of the casino was simply sent out as a way to inform the public of their reasons for voting for the project.
"We are being asked why this has been turned down and at the same time we are also being asked why we supported it, so I think on significant applications like this that would have such an impact on the city, we do need to be doing a better job on letting the public know why we voted the way we did," she said.
"People elect us, so I thought these were really important things for people to know why we did."

- Amazing screen, great picture quality and sensitivity
- Touchwiz UI is the best to grace Android yet
- Camera great for shooting in well-lit areas
- Connectivity can hang at times
- Camera suffers in low-light
Apple set a standard for smartphone makers to reach over three years ago. Since then, everyone and their mother has been playing catch-up, but it wasn't until recently that anyone actually caught up. In some ways, that's because of the OS, which Android has only recently bested iOS in a handful of ways in over the past six months. But now, it doesn't matter what carrier you're on, there's a phone out there for you. That's all thanks to one company, and one line of phones: Samsung, and their model Galaxy S.
The Galaxy S phones are nearly identical. Four models for four major US carriers. The Fascinate is Verizon's baby, though with the exception of Sprint's Epic 4G, the Fascinate is the cornerstone of all Galaxy S phones. And quite frankly, it's a damn fine phone that is a serious step up from Motorola's Droid 2.
From left: HTC Desire, Samsung Fascinate, and Droid 2
Samsung's Fascinate doesn't look all that special at a first glance. The front glass pane is dark tinted, and a metallic rim is visible all around. The high-gloss back is a polka-dot matrix, one which held at arm's length looks grey instead of patchy. The only flashy portions are the front Verizon and Samsung logos, and the back Galaxy S logo. Everything else about the design whispers sleekness and poise, without the flashiness or girth many of today's smartphones embellish.
The volume rocker and power/standby button are both very tight and very close to the phone, which makes both too hard to press easily. The volume rocker tends to stick, whereas the power button doesn't read keypresses well. The USB connector has a sliding cover, which has led to a new bad habit carried over from slider phones: opening and closing the flap.
What's really impressive about the Fascinate isn't the outside, but rather the Android OS, with Samsung's Touchwiz 3.0 software. Don't get me wrong, the Fascinate is remarkably thin and light. At first, it even feels too light, but when you're in the car looking for directions or on a plane watching a film, this featherweight feels like a champ. The Fascinate doesn't feel or look cheap, but it lacks that solid feel many competing smartphones have. The sleekness of this handset is great for dropping into a pocket. It's the best smartphone for that.
Touchwiz 3.0 is all about the little things. The pull-down bar has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and Airplane mode buttons right there for easy switching. Three of the four main applications (the ones which stay in place when moving between pages) are customizable, something many Android phones still don't do. But most importantly, it's fast. Battery life is on-par with today's smartphones, lasting about a day (just over), so users will charge the Fascinate nightly.
Unlike Motorola's slow tacked-on software, Samsung's is quick and snappy. Other phones, like the Nexus One or Palm Pre or iPhone, are still faster and smoother, but for an Android device with many added benefits through additional software, the Fascinate is surprisingly fast. The only slowness is an almost abrupt stop-and-go twitch for onscreen graphics, though it's hardly noticeable except when using the touchscreen exceptionally quickly. And that speed comes with significantly less RAM than the Droid 2 (384MB vs 512MB).
Color and light contrast is the big difference between the Fascinate's SuperAMOLED and Apple's Retina display.
In fact, every aspect of the Fascinate has proven to be profoundly excellent. The SuperAMOLED screen is perhaps the greatest contrast to that of the iPhone 4, pushing better light and color contrast above pixel count and density. It's not as easy to read on, but viewing pictures or watching movies is better thanks to the difference in colors and lights and darks. And thanks to the design of OLED screens in general, there's less eyestrain. One could watch an entire movie at maximum brightness without much bother. The screen does suffer in direct sunlight as all OLED screens do, and is barely visible in very bright conditions, an area where the iPhone 4's LCD has remained ahead.
The screen itself is also very sensitive, and the best I've seen since the iPhone and Palm Pre. Typing on it is the best I've seen across any Android device, by far. It's still not perfect, but I think that the hardware is mostly dead on, and that the software needs additional tweaking to reach perfection.
My cheeky photography assistant rushing me to finish up while showing off the SuperAMOLED display
As I mentioned before, it's the little things. The phone book has an iPhone-esque scroll function, where letters sit on the right side and scrolling a finger down will go to the corresponding letter. The phone's sleek design and light weight build, while at first awkward, remarkably comfortable in the pocket and hand. The Fascinate even works well as a replacement Wi-Fi hotspot for up to four hours (under heavy use). In fact, the more I use the Fascinate, the more I'm convinced that what's really holding it back is Android. The leaps and bounds this phone jumps is just amazing.
Photography with the Fascinate is fairly good. Well-lit rooms and shooting outdoors had some very good shots (see below). On a trip to New York, I was able to test it out in the city, and was impressed with the quality of photos taken. Low-light images are poor, and the flash tends to wash colors out. Video quality is the same, with excellent 720p video in good lighting, but once again quality suffers as ambient light diminishes. Still, the video camera is good enough to fully replace any standalone 720p camera you may own.
Voice quality is excellent. Voices come in clear over Verizon's network, and recipients said we sounded good in test calls. The speakerphone is tinny and slightly muffled, but clear enough to understand. Call quality was great, but I was surprised to see more dropped coverage than other Verizon phones, including the Droid 2 and older models. Verizon is usually better than AT&T on the iPhone, but the Fascinate had bad days where it couldn't get a clear signal for up to 15 minutes, or couldn't find a 3G network to connect to. Several times, in both LA and NY, I couldn't use the 3G Wi-Fi hotspot feature because of this. I did not have any trouble with making phone calls nor did I drop any calls.
As far as Android-based phones go, Samsung has set itself apart from much of its competition with their Galaxy S phones, and the Fascinate is a prime example of that. It has everything an Android user could ever want: a great screen, quick and easy-to-use UI, and a wonderful design inside and out. Verizon customers ready to upgrade need not look farther than the Fascinate. Phones like this make Android great.

Portable, Filling, Cheap and Nutritious Breakfast Ideas?
Good Questions
Q: I'm a grad student on a tight budget and schedule, trying to lose some weight. I leave for school fairly early in the morning.
Could you recommend some healthy brunch recipes that I can pack and take to school, and that will pretty much last me till it's time for my early dinner? Thanks!
Sent by Roh
Editor: Roh, wow! So you want portable, filling, cheap, AND nutritious breakfast food? (We can only assume you also want it to be tasty?) Fortunately, the almighty egg is cheap and nutritious, as well as tasty and filling. Our primary suggestion is some sort of egg and vegetable casserole, baked the night before and cut up into big wedges that you can eat wrapped in a napkin or in a Tupperware. Here's an egg casserole with sun-dried tomatoes you can adapt with your own mix-ins. To keep it lower-calorie, leave out the cheese and sausage, and substitute more vegetables.
You can also bake egg casseroles in muffin cups for an even easier grab-and-go portion.
OK, take it away, readers! What are your favorite portable, filling, cheap, and nutritious breakfast recipes?

try adding some cooked barley to an egg casserole. barley will keep you full for hours on end, even with just a little bit. and it's pretty cheap.
Breakfast burritos - eggs, black beans, cheese, salsa wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. If you have access to a microwave, oatmeal is filling. Smoothies (especially with peanut butter, bananas, and some type of protein powder) really tide me over and transport nicely in my steel travel coffee mug.
Almond butter and banana on homemade bread (or any kind of bread, but something thick and fiber-filled).
Oatmeal is not filling at all for me - unless I add bananas, walnuts, yogurt, and milk.
Hey Roh, I'm in the same situation (the sarcasm was a little bit snappy from the editor, not all of us have Le Creuset dutch ovens and budgets to buy gourmet cheeses)
Plus eggs for breakfast/lunch until dinner, everyday...eeh i like variety
I'm guessing since you want to lose weight you are open to veggies.
They've had this recipe a while back
and since i like apples and portability i made a large batch of them and just kept them in the fridge for a week. They do fill you up, so put more apples and less sugar, and there you go.
Couscous salad with lots of veggies (tomatoes, sugar snap peas in the frozen section are great, you can stick an egg in them) is another thing I like to have on hand.
If you like hummus, you can make a lot to keep it in the fridge for the whole week (put it in the individual smaller than sandwich bags) and then stick it on carrots and stuff.
Asparagus (for sale at Walmart...don't shun me people i live in the middle of nowhere) and Zucchini strata in muffin cups is good. I also added tomatoes to it. Easy to make from leftover bread.
You can also make crepes on sunday, and stick things in them throughout the week (they are less dense then tortillas)...my mom likes to put cooked chicken with carrots and broccoli in them.
If you are looking for something more of a filling snack, Muesli are easy and cheap to make especially if you are in a good proximity to those stores with wholesale bins of produce.
You can also make some pita's (i believe there is a how to on this site) and stuff them with anything healthy your heart desires...just keep on hand, stuff, and go. Chickpeas are great fillers.
I second the breakfast burritos idea. I add enchilada sauce to mine. You can make them in bulk and freeze them, wrapping each one separately in a paper towel.
You can also make frittatas with leftover pasta and vegetables. Lately I've also been making quiche in store bought mini-pie shells.
when i was in grad school, i'd often take a tupperware filled with plain lowfat yogurt, some granola (homemade, if i had the time) sprinkled on top, and then loaded with tons of fruit on top (whatever was cheap...berries are my favorite). i would have a bit in the early morning after i exercised, and then i'd munch on it throughout mid-morning. i would stay full at least until late afternoon, just in time for an early dinner!
Oh I have the link for you:
Bulk breakfast burritos: make them assembly-line-style in advance and freeze them. The writer's cost breakdown has them at $0.75 per burrito
Keep um simple though, Egg and Cheese, Chicken and Cheese, don't load um up either .. IE one cooked chicken breast, can make about 5-6 Quesadillas, 2 eggs can spread out to 4-5..
On weekends i usually make some, and typically 2 will last me all day.. and I'm typically a big eater..
other ideas..
Leftover hot wings.. throw um in.. (de-bone please)
Sausage patty.. 1 chopped makes 4 Quesadillas
Taco meat..
But yeah for me an easy, filling, portable food is Quesadillas. Mite need someone more qualified as to the nutritional content of um though.
But if you keep um simple you should be able to figure it out.
Just dont go hog wild like ones you can get from your burrito chains.. with sour cream, guacamole, onions, peppers, double strak, chips, fries and a coke.. wait..
Well now im hungry.
Frittata sandwich. It's good at any temperature. Any kind of frittata will do. Protein carbs keeps you feeling satisfied longest. Put lots of veggies in your frittata and throw a piece of fruit in your bag and you've hit most of the food groups.
I'm in a similar boat, although I'm at work so I have access to a few more options than you probably do. The key, I find, is to eat something hearty before I leave and bring tastey, hearty things to eat every few hours.
Breakfast ideas:
Fritatta is delicious, easy and filling (and if you time it right you can bake it quickly while you get ready). I like mushrooms and cheese in mine.
Breakfast burrito/quesadilla with lots of salsa and a carb-balance tortilla (I swear they aren't disgusting. I was shocked).
leftovers from dinner the night before. I happen to like most leftovers still cold but if you have a microwave this is still a quick, easy option.
Snack/mini-meal ideas
A hard boiled egg and an orange
Omusabi (rice-ball) and some lunch meat (Gallo's reduced fat salami is delicious and keeps well) or cheese
Apple-almond cake (I leave out the sugar and use a heaping cup of unsweetened apple sauce in lieu of making my own like she calls for. Almonds can be had in bulk at Costco for a reasonable price)
Cheese and whole grain crackers
Apple slices and peanut butter
I find that I do better restricting my calories if I eat more in the morning and less as the day goes on. The egg-and-orange snack has been my favorite lately; they hold up well in my bag and oranges are a favorite of mine. I hope some of these help you!
I am in the same boat. I have a personal aversion to breakfast and as such I usually eat a granola bar on my way in then hold out for lunch. A few things that have worked for me:
- black bean salad/salsa: black beans, fresh (or canned) tomatoes, peppers, onion, tbsp of olive oil and your fav seasonings. I change the recipe every time I make it. It's perfect in a wrap with some spinach or as a "dip" for pita chips
-noodle salad: Can take some creativity to keep it low cal but using whole wheat pasta and light italian salad dressing and tossing in whatever veggies I have on hand makes a really filling lunch that's fast.
-Pita pizzas: if you have access to a microwave just fill a small baggie with sauce and a little bit of cheese (fresh mozerella? seems pricey but a little goes a LONG way) then dump it on a pita and microwave for 1 min between class.
-veggies and ____ : try hummus, making your own low cal ranch (using the season packets and fat free sour cream and skim milk), or pesto and fat free cream cheese.
-Salads: although they seem boring try buying some seeds/nuts and a new dressing once in a while. The panera bread cookbook has their recipes for salad dressings (amazing).
Generally I try to take one of the more fattening things off my list (IE dip) and combine it with lower calorie (Veggies) stuff so I feel full and not deprived and tempted to hit the vending machine!
i'm also a grad student who is trying to eat healthfully. usually i eat a good breakfast with both carbs and proteins and then pack a snack: almonds mixed with cranberries, carrots and hummus, roasted garbanzo beans.
i actually have a blog about this very subject, called Master of Fine Eats! recipes, tips, ideas-- check it out at masteroffineeats.blogspot.com. good luck!
Hummus and veggies! Casbah makes a dry hummus mix that I lived on in college- you just add water and a little olive oil- maybe $2 a box and makes a good 2cups. Good protein, fiber (filling).
Buy your nuts and grains in the bulk food section- way cheaper. Think multigrain high fiber for your carbs- almonds, brown rice, quinoa.
QUINOA- awesome and cheap. Nutritional powerhouse. Cook it like you do pasta, (not like you do rice) until you see their little 'tails' come out. Favorite add-ins are salsa, parmesan cheese or a little sesame oil.
And I'm sure someone's told you already, (but let me be the nth person) your metabolism will rev faster if you eat small (200 calorie-ish) meals every 3-4 hours than eating 2 big meals at 10am and 8pm.
Befriend the store-brand snack-size ziploc bag. Great portion control, portability and price.
I lost 25lbs this year so far- another 20 or so to go...good luck to you!
Hey Roh,
I haven't figured out a good plan for breakfast yet, but here's a good time-saving economical plan for dinners:
Power Wraps:
Whole wheat tortilla
Peanut butter
Wrap up ingredients like you would a burrito and cut in half.
If you search the Food Network website, Ellie Krieger has a delicious recipe for homemade energy bars. They freeze well and thaw quickly. I also make homemade granola bars so I can control the amount of oil and sugar in them. I add lots of good stuff like sunflower seeds, nuts, dried fruit, and whatever else I feel like, and make them a bit bigger than a supermarket granola bar. Pack them in snack-sized bags (which you can reuse) or in an airtight container, and they keep for a long time. My favorite recipe is at http://thekitchensinkrecipes.com/2008/02/09/how-i-decided-to-create-granola-bars/ , though I cut down on the brown sugar and add 1-2 tbsp of unsweetened applesauce to make them softer.
In a pinch, a simple hard-boiled egg, eaten cold, will stave off hunger pangs for quite awhile.
I second the idea of granola bars, Roh--here's the recipe I like:
You can just cut them into larger squares and chomp on them all day.
Breakfast burritos - you can eat them with one hand, you can pretty much use anything as filling, and you can make a bunch, freeze them, and then just heat them up when you're ready to go.
we made some egg salad this week with just a little bit of bacon in it, and it's been awesome for 2-second-prep sandwiches for breakfast. the egg and bacon combo makes it seem like breakfast even though it's a sandwich, it's very portable, and you could just put like one strip of bacon in it so it won't be too unhealthy but it still makes it seem like a filling breakfast. also you can make the egg salad with egg whites to make it healthier.
we also like these muffins made with whole wheat and oats (with a sweet cinnamon sugar surprise on top) for a grab and go breakfast.
I like to bake scones with nuts and dried fruit in them to bring to work!
Also, I'll buy those really big tubs of yogurt at the grocery and scoop out an individual serving into tupperware each morning (it's cheaper than the individual yogurts). Bring along an individual serving of granola as well, and when you get to where you are going, mix them together.
I'm attempting to make a recipe for some sort of refrigerated protein Oatmeal bar (steel cut oats, almond butter, some nuts, berries, maybe some other stuff). Maybe something like that would be an idea?
I'm also a grad student and also trying to lose some weight. I do a smoothie of kefir, a banana and some kind of berry in the morning, with a coffee. If I'm really hungry I'll add a slice of multi-grain toast with almond butter.
For lunches I like sardines, greens on either brown rice or multigrain bread. Or tofu with sauteed greens of some kind. Today I did the smoothie for breakfast. Then for lunch I had lentils with a hard boiled egg, 2 WASA crackers and a salad of spinach and cucumber.
I love Kefir! ^_^ Buttermilk is good also. All my friends think i am crazy for drinking it plain
Lots of great ideas here! I find the demands of my job require me to plan my food for the day the way I did in grad school, so I'm still eating like this! My new find is the Blueberry Yogurt Parfait recipe at NY Times. I make it on the weekend, and carry it to work for the next few days. So good:
I'm still a grad student, and this one's been holding me over for a long time.
If you've got a coiled-element stove, cast-iron pans are really the most awesome thing ever. Throw it on high with a dab of oil. Grab an onion, chop off the ends, slice it in half, peel off the skin, then cut the halves into 1/2 rings. By this time the pan should be hot and the oil should slide around easily. Throw the onion in the pan and shake it around to help spread the oil, then move the onions to one side. Then grab an egg and crack it into the pan, turning it down to a medium-low temperature, and toss some bread in the toaster and grab a plate, poor some oj, cut a slice of cheese, etc. Flip the egg when the toast pops up, then put the toast on the plate, grind some fresh black pepper on it, toss in the onions (on or beside), add the cheese. The egg will be nicely over-easy by now. Throw that on and top with the other slice.
The OJ gives a quick sugar rush, the pepper boosts your metabolism, the fat in the egg and cheese gives you lots of fuel for the day, the whole wheat in the toast and the protein in the egg helps it all last a bit longer. Lastly eggs are a great source of selenium, and onions are a great source of chromium, which together are helpful with metabolism. The whole event is over in a matter of minutes.
Since that gets tiresome too many days in a row, I alternate with smoothies on days when I don't have to be up and moving too fast. Orchards and farms are a great source of cheap fruit and berries which (if bought in bulk) can supply smoothies all year. My combo: 1 cup oj for base, yogurt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, hemp seed, chia seed, honey, 1 apple, 1 banana, a handful each of frozen cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, top the rest with frozen mixed fruit (things like mellons, pineapple, grapes, etc), blend until smooth, top with icecubes, and blend again until smooth and frosty. If the OJ is measured right, it should come out like a soft icecream. This makes about 5-6 cups worth. More than enough to stuff yourself and fill a ss bottle for later. (If extra blended with icecream and frozen, it makes a nice sorbet).
Onigiri are a great portable food you can stuff with just about anything you please. Rice is cheap and leftover bits of meat or veg make good fillings.
There's also a low-rent Chinese version that is good for breakfast, the pork floss roll. It's basically some rice formed around some pork floss and then in cling film. Sprinkling some sesame seeds or adding some omelet to it is optional. It's super cheap and tasty. I'm sure it was once wrapped in bamboo or banana leaves like the more traditional zongzi are but the cling film makes it more portable and easier to eat neatly.
Whoops..."and then wrapped in cling film."
If you're trying to lose weight, don't try to get by on two meals a day. That's crazy. At least pack 2 or 3 good snacks.
Put steel cut oats the night before in yogurt & milk (I go for soy yogurt, strawberry flavored & almond milk) and refrigerate overnight in tupperware. You can take that to school in tupperware, add in some chopped nuts & fruit (can do this the night before)... very filling & healthy :)
two pieces of whole wheat toast with avocado spread (can make this the night before with some spices) or some healthy peanut butter spread with bananas put in between (you can cut up the banana at school, take it to go) and some honey?
Breakfast burrito: whole wheat wrap filled with spicy black beans or refried beans, sauteed onions and peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cheese and some fresh cilantro. Can be made the night before.
Thanks for this question, Roh, I can use the advice too.
I remember reading lately, I think it was in Health magazine, that potatoes and oranges have very high amounts of fiber and are very high on the "satiety list" which apparently is a list of things that keep you full for a long time. Try potatoes/hash browns for breakfast...they can be made in advance and popped in the microwave, maybe put inside corn tortillas.
Oranges are very healthy and very portable - great take-along snacks. (You should definitely eat snacks if you're only going to have two meals - eating less makes your body reserve fat).
I make a frittata and slice it and put it in a pita bread often - it makes a great portable lunch when I go biking.
Minute oats, sugar and a dash of salt (plus frozen or dried fruit) can go in a travel mug -- add boiling water, don't bother to microwave or cook any other way. It'll thicken up nicely, and you can make a big batch of the dry stuff, add flax, etc.
food is tricky... Even if I spend actual time planning and preparing a food to take to school or work or wherever, it also has to remain edible as time passes.
Eggs are great, but they are a high protein and high moisture product that is also high risk for spoiling. Two hours is the longest time you can really keep high risk food at room temperature if you don't want to chance food poisoning, so that doesn't really work for me.
Plus, a lot of tasty foods aren't very tasty when they are no longer hot and/or fresh (peanut butter sandwiches are out. Where does the stuff go? Just disappears....)

Jose de Jesus Rodriguez Clinches Second Consecutive Canadian Tour Event at the Times Colonist Island Savings Open
2011 Time Colonist Island Savings Open - Sunday, June 5, 2011
Uplands Golf Club, Victoria, BC June 2-5, 2011 Par/Yardage: 35-35-70/6420 Purse: $200,000 ($32,000)
Weather: Mainly Sunny. High of 21. Winds 11 km/ph.
Final-Round Leaderboard JJ Rodriguez, Irapuato, MX 70 - 67-70-65-66 (-13) Wes Homan, Cincinnati, OH 68-71-64-65 (-11) Dodge Kemmer, Montana View, CA 69-68-68-65 (-10) Dustin Ridson, Strathmore, AB 67-69-66-68 (-10) Andy Matthews, Ada, MI 70-72-66-66 (-6) Brock Mackenzie, Yakima, WA 72-66-67-69 (-6) Jae Woo Im, La Mirada, CA 69-68-70-67 (-6)
(Victoria, BC., June 5, 2011) - Jose de Jesus Rodriguez of Mexico claimed his second consecutive Canadian Tour win today at the Times Colonist Island Savings Open at Uplands Golf Club in Victoria, BC. The 2011 Mexican PGA Champion rode a hot putter and stuck to his aggressive game plan en route to victory at the picturesque track located in the Oak Bay area of Victoria. With his victory Rodriguez matched 2010 Order of Merit winner Aaron Goldberg as the only player in the last two seasons to win consecutive events and all but assures his spot in this year's RBC Canadian Open.
"I played extremely well today and it feels great to win this event," said Rodriguez who went bogey free on his round of 4-under-par 66. "This win means so much to me and gets me closer to my dream of playing on the PGA TOUR," added the 30-year-old Rodriguez who now leads the Canadian Bursary with 75 pts.
Rodriguez's aggressive game plan that included hitting driver on all par 4's and par 5's proved to be fruitful and pushes his yearly earnings over the $50,000 mark. In addition to the winner's cheque it gets the Mexican closer to solidifying one of the six exemptions for Canadian Tour players to play in the PGA TOUR's RBC Canadian Open. "It's my dream to play on the PGA TOUR," said Rodriguez. "I've been working hard on my game and especially my short game and it's really paying off for me," added Rodriguez.
Canadian Dustin Risdon started the day one shot behind Rodriguez but was unable to catch the agressive Mexican. During his round Risdon knew the tournament was slipping away from him. "I told DV (Dale Vallely caddie) that we needed to make a move but the putts just weren't dropping for me today," said Risdon who finished the tournament tied for third with Dodge Kemmer. "At the end of the day I am happy with how I played and I'm well on my way to accomplishing my goal of getting into the RBC Canadian Open through our Order of Merit," said Risdon who serenaded the crowd on 18 with a birdie.
Canadian Tour rookie Wes Homan had quite the coming out party at the Times Colonist Island Savings Open. Homan's 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole proved to be enough to move him into second place alone and earn a cheque for $19,200.
Another rookie, Dodge Kemmer moved up the leaderboard with a final round of 5-under-par 65. Kemmer was the medalist at the California Qualifying School earlier this year and is a product of Standford University.
Up next for the Canadian Tour is the inaugural Western Championship which begins next Thursday June 9, 2011 at Rivershore Golf Links. Please check www.cantour.com for lives scores and stories from Kamloops.
Notes: - Rick Gibson's round of 69 was good enough to solidify a T10 showing. Gibson was the low 'Islander' for the week edging Nanaimo native Darren Griff who finished T22. - Please click here to review the Canadian Bursary standings - The scoring average at Uplands on Sunday was 71.83

BELLINGHAM – The Western Washington University board of trustees on June 10 voted on a student fee that will allow the university to purchase all of its electricity from renewable energy sources.
The fee will provide enough revenue to purchase from Puget Sound Energy (PSE) approximately 35 million kilowatt hours of electricity in the 2005-06 school year – or the comparable annual electric usage of 3,200 homes.
This purchase nearly doubles the amount of renewable energy bought by customers through PSE's Green Power Program, which includes wind and solar resources in its mix.
"The fact that Western is becoming a national leader in the use of renewable energy is a tribute to the vision, determination and leadership shown by our students and administration," said Western President Karen W. Morse.
Western's purchase positions the university to become a national leader in the renewable energy field, as the second largest purchaser of renewable power in higher education and the 15th largest purchaser overall.
In spring 2004, a WWU student initiative on renewable energy passed with 84.7 percent approval. That student initiative included a maximum fee of $19 a quarter for full-time students.
On Feb. 4, the board of trustees approved a student fee to be utilized for the purchase of renewable energy, with the amount to be set following discussions with Puget Sound Energy.
Based on those discussions with PSE, the trustees on June 10 set the amount of a student fee of $1.05 per credit per quarter for students on the main campus – with a maximum of $10.50 per quarter for students enrolled for 10 or more credits. That fee, effective fall quarter, will generate approximately $355,000 a year. This amount is projected to provide enough revenue to allow Western to purchase all of its electricity from renewable sources.
"We are pleased with this effort and with the administration in successfully gaining a very attractive rate," said board Chair John Warner.
"This has been a cooperative effort, going back two years. Students came up with the idea of a renewable energy initiative and have shown considerable leadership in researching and following through with this," said Rachel Zommick, Associated Students president. "The Western board of trustees and administration have been very supportive of this student effort and have encouraged this vision of sustainable energy here at Western."

Is Happiness a conservative, status-quo concept?
"Money can't buy happiness". Many of us think this statement is more or less true. But what are the broader implications of this statement? After all, if "the pursuit of happiness" is delayed by acquiring wealth, than why should the government be promoting initiatives to raise the economic tide through assistance to business OR welfare policies? In other words, is the pursuit of Happiness a fundamentally conservative, status-quo idea? An interesting article on this subject is posted below - but what do you think?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 15 2013: The question that comes up for me is Why? Why should happiness matter to me so much? I know, experience and recall the scientific, sociological, emotional and spiritual reasons. I find these everywhere I look. Yet, no matter where in the world any one person is, the topic of happiness is one that pops itself in thoughts, ideas, feelings and conversations. So, Why? Why does it matter to each one of us so much?
I will offer my reason. It is just one reason... It may mean something or nothing, but for me, my reason to seek happiness is because with it I get to enjoy having fun while living. I get to enjoy laughter, eating delicious food, having conversations... and on and on and on.
And, again Why? comes up again for me. Why should THAT matter...? (yes, we could go ad nauseum! ;)) But, it matters, because it simply does. And, I have found that the moment I completely come to terms with the fact that it does matter and I DO care about how I feel, what I think, how my health is and what I seek, it is then that I actually see the enjoyment in what is occurring in that particular moment. It is then that I reach the conclusion that I am willing to do absolutely anything in order to maintain and sustain that happiness. It is then that I stop riding the waves and drowning in the depths. It is then that I release all worry and anxiety and fully live. It is then that I find true happiness.
Have you ever thought about why it matters to you?

Firefox vs Internet Explorer… Who's Really At Fault
There's been a lot of back and forth discussion lately over the reason for Firefox 188.8.131.52. It seems that Thor Larholm released details on a vulnerability where data passed to Firefox from IE via the firefoxurl protocol handler can be used to execute arbitrary commands. Thor had said this was a vulnerability in IE to not properly parse the data it was passing and the IE team responded that they weren't responsible for the data being passed and instead it was up to Firefox to properly parse the data. The Firefox team released a patch (Firefox 126.96.36.199) which prevents Firefox from accepting bad data passed in from Internet Explorer and Window Snyder commented on the Mozilla Security blog. A second post was written by Asa Dotzler which questioned the IE Team's comments that it was too difficult to provide proper protection against this on their side. All of this was responded to by Jesper Johansson. So now that we've laid out the background... let's discuss.
I think that Microsoft, and specifically the IE Team's claim that it would be too difficult for them to patch this issue is bogus. There's no reason why IE could parse the URI before passing it, escaping certain characters, perhaps based on the URI RFC's definition of reserved and unreserved characters. That being said, as Jesper pointed out, Firefox doesn't do this... so perhaps both browsers should. While it may not be a standard practice, if the two major browsers were to perform this operation, others would follow suit. Should Firefox not accept bad data? Yes, however the entire concept of multi-tiered security is that you have a moat, a wall and other levels of defense. Assuming that Firefox's change to parse and sanitize the data is the wall, why couldn't IE provide a moat with the protocol handler acting as the drawbridge that allows access?
I actually went so far as to fire off an email to the authors of the URI RFC and at this point I've heard back from Larry Masinter. He provided additional clarification and insight into the RFC, providing an example of where responsibility lies if URIs were constructed on the fly by JavaScript.
For example, I could write a Javascript program that constructed URIs on the fly and inserted href's to them; it would be the responsibility of the Javascript program to construct the 'correct' URI. However, HTML 4.0 and XHTML 1.0 don't supply any justification for trying to 'normalize' URIs before they're sent to the URI handler, except perhaps the suggestion in the appendix that non-ASCII characters be expressed in UTF8 and then percent encoded.
So this says to me that it's the responsibility of the creator of the URI to ensure that it is "correct" and "valid". The problem is that the reliance is that nothing will ever be used maliciously. Software is continually updated to deal with people passing invalid data or using it incorrectly. This is another example of someone using a standard incorrectly for malicious means, so why not modify the other end and stop relying on the user to form something that is valid and correct. I'd say this is no different than the browser tests performed by software like Hamachi (IE was patched against problems that were found by Hamachi). Yes, in that case the browser was rendering the HTML, well why not make the cleaning or "normalizing" of the URI's a part of HTML rendering. Larry went so far as to say that in his email.
You could, of course, suggest that HTML 5.0 or XHMTL 2.0 or whatever define the HREF or SRC attributes as containing a 'URI like thingie' and define the interpretation of the IMG or A elements as requiring normalization (according to a supplied algorithm) first. But then that would be in the domain of those languages.
So should we point the blame at Firefox or IE? How about both and none all at the same time. Instead of bickering about what's right, both sides should, as Firefox has already done, remedy the portion of the problem that they are responsible for. Perhaps now it's time to sit down and redefine the HTML, XHTML or something else to provide protection for the user against malicious individuals instead of saying, "Sure it's a problem, but we're not doing anything that violates the RFC so it's not our problem to deal with." When it affects your users... it's your problem, so let's all deal with it.

A word on Blackboard
March 27, 2012
Some of you may have seen the news about Blackboard buying MoodleRooms and NetSpot. I wanted to post a quick note on how we look at this.
We're seeing the learning management system market consolidate, with Blackboard attempting to offer something for every institution. These market optimizations are a natural symptom of a waning industry. The products remain lousy.
We at Coursekit have placed a firm bet that the real innovation will happen not within the LMS industry, but with a larger rethinking of the internet's role in education.
