MUSKEGON, MI – A pair of Muskegon Country Club members were honored Monday, May 5 at the Golf Association of Michigan's annual meeting hosted by the club.
Dick Topp was recognized for his completion of a one-year term as the GAM's president that ended with Monday's meeting and Hailey Hrynewich was honored as the junior girls player of the year for 2013.
MCC members Bob Kwiecien and Dave Price also serve on the GAM's Board of Governors.
Topp included seeing the GAM grow the game for children and in the Upper Peninsula along with MCC serving as the host for last year's Michigan Amateur as highlights during his tenure.
"If you look at our history, we've had more USGA events in the last 15 years probably than any club in Michigan because it's such a good golf course. It's a tremendous golf course," Topp said.
The grounds crew is working hard to get Muskegon Country Club ready in time for another major tournament – a U.S. Open qualifier on Monday, May 12. More than 80 trees were damaged by high winds that whipped through the area in a storm on April 12, but no major repairs were needed to tees or greens. The course is also hosting the McNiff Memorial Spring Medal Play tournament on May 31-June 1.
Hrynewich, a product of MCC's junior golf program and a graduate of Mona Shores, was honored for her play in 2013.
She was the Michigan Women's Amateur runner-up and the stroke-play medalist in the Michigan Girls Junior State Amateur.
"I played probably the best summer rounds I've ever had and it's also nice to be recognized at Muskegon Country Club because I played here ever since I was little," she said. "All my high school tournaments were here, so it means a lot."
Hrynewich was the No. 1 player on the women's golf team at Ohio University and earned Mid-American Conference Player of the Week honors during the season.

Comments about LG 9.0 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer w/ Steam Cycles - White:
This is the WORST dryer ever!! when it works, it works well enough, but in the 1 year I have had it, I have had to replace the high limit thermostat 4 times. After paying such an exorbitant price for this, I don't expect to be paying for parts every few weeks.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The Dryer of all dryers
By wiscbum
from Wausau, WI, United States
LG continues to shine with its Washer and in this case, dryer! This thing is BIG... almost too big, and works well. Only reason for 4 of 5 stars, is this (and the washer) are needlessly too complicated, as there are about 20 settings for drying and washing. That is probably a big overkill in my opinion.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought the dryer almost a month ago and love it.
Explanation of Steam Function non-existent
By Biff1
from Texas, United States
No cogent explanation in manual. I tried the steam function but am using trial and error to determine the parameters for this feature. LG marketing touts steam as a huge advantage but the implementation is flawed due to lack of explanation.Seems like a good product otherwise.
By razjaz
from Santa Barbara, CA, United States
Have had the dryer for several months. Am disappointed with a few things. First, items are not always dried when the proper cycle is chosen. When you try to select it again to dry it will only run for a few seconds and shut off sensing the clothes are dry when they are not. I've even tried switching to another cycle and the machine stops just the same. So I end up with slightly wet items that i have to put outside or hang up to dry. The panel lights are really hard to read. The steam cycle does not take wrinkles out of clothes that you want to remove without having to iron like my old machine did. The lint trap is flimsy. Lastly the since the washer does not always get clothes etc smelling really fresh, when they are dried, there is now a constant odor after running the dryer like slightly soiled clothes. Mind you I'm an extra clean freak and wash clothes after wearing one time. So I''m not talking about stuff sitting around stinky for days or a week!

bought this over a year ago still looks good and had no problems with it
Well-built and poor user controls
By webistrator
from Littleton, CO, United States
Why does a dryer of this price caliber claim in the owner's manual to have an "...illuminated control panel" (p. 11) when it doesn't? It is almost impossible to read and to set the functions without a flashlight! If LG wanted to go cheap they could have simply used a light panel with dark labels! The fact that a later model has an LED display is proof that this model is poorly designed, and the online LG image misrepresents the display as clearly readable. IT IS NOT! I rate this machine "average" because in spite of this major user shortcoming it seems to be well built, easy to install, runs smoothly and does a fine job...sad that LG skimped on the most important user aspect of the machine.
A dryer for all my clothes
By AllJeff
from Salt Lake City, UT, United States
Finally, a dryer with a variety of settings that actually lets me dry all my different fabrics at the right settings! I don't have to worry about my specialty items being ruined by too high of temperatures or too rough of tumbling. And everything always comes out dry, I never have things come out with damp spots.
Overall great product
By Mom of Twins
from Des Moines, IA, United States
I got this for Christmas. While that might not seem like a great present when it cuts the number of laundry loads in half, uses less water and dries faster without needing to dry on a hot setting it is the best Christmas ever. Absolutely love it. Now I don't mind doing laundry. And we are using way less detergent and shout to get the stains out of our boys clothes
Finally a steam dryer
By Seantsean

Finally got a new dryer and what a difference... Clothes smell much better and can dry anything because the capacity is huge.

An open house will begin at 9 a.m. Thursday and the re-dedication service will start at 10 a.m.
Antioch Baptist was about 70 to 80 percent damaged by the tornado.
Since then, the church has been holding worship services at Ephesus Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Antioch has about 700 members, many of whom lost their homes in the tornado, said Pastor Quinton E. Hammonds.
"The congregation has stayed strong, stayed together," Hammonds said. "I'm very pleased at the way our people have stuck together."
The congregation returns after months of repairs to the sanctuary.
"We had a wall that came down on the outside and one on the inside, a lot of structural damage in the sanctuary, and some to the multipurpose building," Hammonds said. "We had to do repair work to both buildings."
Many church members are still recovering from tornado damage to their homes.
"We had 63 families that had damages to their homes, and many of them their homes were totally destroyed," Hammonds said.
"We have given over $50,000 in financial assistance to families," he said. "With help from the Church at Brook Hills, we have been able to secure housing, furniture and clothes for people affected by the tornado."
The view from the rebuilt church remains ominous.
"There is massive work to be done," Hammonds said. "The community as I knew it for 31 years was destroyed. Houses are gone. It was once a vibrant, thriving community."
He has encountered some hesitance to rebuild.
"Some people have said it's the third tornado they've been through and they don't want to go through it again, and they're not moving back," Hammonds said. "It's going to be new people moving in. It will be a new opportunity for us to minister."
The church's worship services on Sunday will be at 8 a.m. and 11 a.m., with Sunday school at 10 a.m.

Achieving a clean connection
SQL Server, Microsoft®'s enterprise-level relational database, is one of the more popular databases used with IBM WebSphere Application Server, as well as with IBM WebSphere Portal and IBM WebSphere Commerce. If you're using SQL Server with WebSphere Application Server, then you might be familiar with this common error that occurs when connecting from WebSphere Application Server to SQL Server 2008:
DSRA0010E: SQL State = S0001, Error Code = 18,456
DSRA0010E error means that WebSphere Application Server is reporting a database error. Error code 18456 within this error means it has to do with a failed login. To fix this problem in the database, you need to understand the possible causes and resolutions.
When using WebSphere Application Server, this problem can be caused by:
- Not using SQL Server authentication.
- Not using or using an incorrect login name.
- Not using, or using an incorrect or expired password.
Correcting this issue requires the WebSphere Application Server administrator to work with the SQL Server database administrator (DBA). This error is recorded both in the WebSphere Application Server SystemOut.log file and the log files of SQL Server 2008.
Before considering each of the three causes above in more detail, let's first look at some background to help you better understand why this happens at all.
WebSphere Application Server and SQL Server together
In WebSphere Application Server, the login name is called User ID. SQL Server 2008 and WebSphere Application Server differ on what is permitted for login name (User ID) and password. Table 1 shows these differences.
Table 1. Login name
|Login name
|SQL Server 2008
|WebSphere Application Server
|No login name, no password
|Not allowed
|Login name, no password
|Not allowed
|Login name with password
Both SQL Server 2008 and WebSphere Application Server recommend using both a login name (User ID) and a password for better security. In WebSphere Application Server, the User ID is stored as a J2C authentication alias. Figure 1 shows an example where the User ID is sqlserveruser, saved as the alias db1wasNode01/SAMPLE.
Figure 1. J2C authentication alias
The procedure to create a J2C authentication alias is described in the WebSphere Application Server Information Center.
You would then need to apply the above to your data source. To do this, navigate to your WebSphere Application Server admin console (Figure 2) by selecting Resources > JDBC > Data sources > $DATASOURCE_NAME > Security settings. Click OK and then Save to directly save to the master configuration.
Figure 2. Data source security settings
Notice that IBM recommends using both Component-managed and Container-managed authentication aliases. For more information about setting up SQL Server 2008 data sources, see the WebSphere Application Server V7 Administration and Configuration Guide.
Now, let's review the three above problems and see how you can address them in SQL Server 2008.
Not using SQL Server authentication
If the SQL Server 2008 login name was not set up for SQL Server authentication, then you will see the error shown in Listing 1 in the SystemOut.log file:
Listing 1
[9/8/10 17:37:35:953 CDT] 00000016 DSConfigurati W DSRA8201W: DataSource Configuration: DSRA8040I: Failed to connect to the DataSource. Encountered java.sql.SQLException: Login failed for user 'sqlserveruser'.DSRA0010E: SQL State = S0001, Error Code = 18,456. java.sql.SQLException: Login failed for user 'sqlserveruser '.DSRA0010E: SQL State = S0001, Error Code = 18,456 at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException.makeFromDatabaseError (SQLServerException.java:196) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.TDSTokenHandler.onEOF(tdsparser.java:246) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.TDSParser.parse(tdsparser.java:83) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection.sendLogon (SQLServerConnection.java:2532) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection.logon (SQLServerConnection.java:1929) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection.access$000 (SQLServerConnection.java:41) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection$LogonCommand.doExecute (SQLServerConnection.java:1917) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.TDSCommand.execute(IOBuffer.java:4026) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection.executeCommand (SQLServerConnection.java:1416) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection.connectHelper (SQLServerConnection.java:1061) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection.login (SQLServerConnection.java:833) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection.connect (SQLServerConnection.java:716) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource.getConnectionInternal (SQLServerDataSource.java:577) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerPooledConnection.createNewConnection (SQLServerPooledConnection.java:60) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerPooledConnection.<init> (SQLServerPooledConnection.java:42) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnectionPoolDataSource. getPooledConnection(SQLServerConnectionPoolDataSource.java:34) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnectionPoolDataSource. getPooledConnection(SQLServerConnectionPoolDataSource.java:24) at com.ibm.ws.rsadapter.DSConfigurationHelper$2.run (DSConfigurationHelper.java:1633)
The SystemOut.log file tells you there is an issue with login name sqlserveruser. To get more details on why SQL Server 2008 failed to login sqlserveruser, you can review the log files on SQL Server 2008. Your SQL Server 2008 DBA will need to launch the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, and expand Management > SQL Server Logs. This is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. SQL Server logs
Now, using the timestamp from the WebSphere Application Server
SystemOut.log file, such as
9/8/10 17:37:35:953
CDT, you can search through SQL Server 2008 logs and find the corresponding log file entry (Figure 4).
Figure 4. Log File Viewer
Notice that SQL Server tells why login failed for user sqlserveruser: it is because it was configured for Windows® authentication only. This will need to be corrected on SQL Server 2008. However, if a login name has been created to use Windows authentication, it cannot be modified to use SQL Server authentication or vice-versa (Figure 5).
Figure 5. Login Properties for an SQL Server user
The DBA will need to either delete and re-create the same login name or create a new login name. To create a new login name, WebSphere Application Server requires that the new login has:
- SQL Server authentication.
- A password.
- Membership of a group that has sufficient authority to issue TRUNCATE TABLE statements and have CREATE TABLE statement privileges.
- Privileges to connect to the database.
Figure 6 illustrates how to create an SQL Server 2008 login name. In Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, you will need to expand Security > Logins, then right-click on Logins, then select New Login.
Figure 6. Create new login
Enter the Login name. You will notice that the default is Windows authentication. Change this to SQL Server authentication, then enter the Password twice (Figure 7).
Figure 7. Enter login parameters
Select the User Mapping page and map to the database you wish to connect to; in this example, the SAMPLE database is used (Figure 8). Click OK to save.
Figure 8. Define user mapping
Not using or using an incorrect login name
As mentioned above, SQL Server 2008 requires a login name but not a password to login (Figure 9).
Figure 9. Login name required to connect to SQL Server
However, when you attempt to connect to SQL Server 2008 from WebSphere Application Server without a login name (User ID), you will get this error:
Listing 2
[10/27/10 12:38:14:441 CDT] 00000016 DSConfigurati W DSRA8201W: DataSource Configuration: DSRA8040I: Failed to connect to the DataSource. Encountered java.sql.SQLException: Login failed for user ''.DSRA0010E: SQL State = S0001, Error Code = 18,456.
Notice that login failed for
user '' (in other words, no login name is specified). Refer to the previous section for details on creating a login name.
If you use the wrong login name, you will get this error:
Listing 3
[10/28/10 11:23:24:097 CDT] 00000014 DSConfigurati W DSRA8201W: DataSource Configuration: DSRA8040I: Failed to connect to the DataSource. Encountered java.sql.SQLException: Login failed for user 'sqlserver'.DSRA0010E: SQL State = S0001, Error Code = 18,456.
WebSphere Application Server indicates that there is an issue with login name sqlserver. As shown earlier, you will need to review the log files on SQL Server 2008 to find more details. Figure 10 shows the Log File viewer screen indicating error 18456.
Figure 10. Log File viewer showing error 18456
Notice that the login name of sqlserver could not be found in SQL Server 2008. In this case, the correct login name is sqlserveruser. It also gives you a State number, State 5, which means the User ID is not valid. See table 2 for more information on States.
Not using or using an incorrect or expired password
When using a login name, you need a password. Providing an incorrect password causes this error:
Listing 4
[10/27/10 17:07:55:593 CDT] 00000016 DSConfigurati W DSRA8201W: DataSource Configuration: DSRA8040I: Failed to connect to the DataSource. Encountered java.sql.SQLException: Login failed for user 'sqlserveruser'.DSRA0010E: SQL State = S0001, Error Code = 18,456.
As with the previous case, you'll need to review the log files on SQL Server to get more details on why it failed to login sqlserveruser (Figure 11).
Figure 11. Error 18456, State 8
Notice in the SQL Server 2008 logs, the problem reported is that the password did not match. It also gives a State number, and State 8 means that the password is incorrect (see Table 2).
Other possible causes
There are many other reasons for Error Code = 18456, as indicated by the State.
Table 2. State descriptions
|User ID is not valid.
|User ID is not valid.
|An attempt was made to use a Windows login name with SQL Server authentication.
|Login is disabled, and the password is incorrect.
|The password is incorrect.
|Password is not valid.
|Login is valid, but server access failed.
|Login is valid, but server access failed.
|Login tries to get access to SQL Server with services paused on it.
|Login when its default database is unavailable.
|Password must be changed.
|Password must be changed.
|Login when DEFAULT database is not available at the server.
|Login when database is OFFLINE or unavailable.

Schools could struggle making up missed daysUPDATED 6:44 PM EST Feb 14, 2014
New bill allows forgiveness for snow daysVideo Transcript
DISTRICTS ... THOSE NUMBERS EXCEED THE MAKE-UP DAYS BUILT INTO THE SCHEDULE. THERE IS A BILL IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE TO GIVE SCHOOL DISTRICTS THE POWER TO "FORGIVE" SOME OF THOSE DAYS.. WITHOUT HAVING TO SEEK LAWMAKER APPROVAL. WYFF NEWS 4'S TIM WALLER TELLS US WHERE THAT STANDS TONIGHT. TIM. MICHAEL, THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE HAS ALREADY APPROVED THIS "SNOW DAY" BILL.. AND THE STATE SENATE, WHICH HAS BEEN OUT ALL WEEK BECAUSE OF THE SNOW, IS EXPECTED TO FOLLOW SUIT. THE BILL, IF APPROVED, WOULD REDUCE THE CHANCES OF YOUR FAMILY'S SATURDAYS, SPRING BREAK OR JUNE VACATION BEING RUINED. SNOW DAYS ARE AN UNEXPECTED TREAT.. BUT PARENTS KNOW.. THEY'RE ALSO A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD. "I definitely don't want to lose spring break or anything like that and lose too much of the summer." THAT COULD HAPPEN IF THE UPSTATE SEES MORE SNOW THIS YEAR.. AND IF SCHOOLS ARE FORCED TO CANCEL AGAIN. BUT NOW.. THERE IS A BILL IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO GIVE SCHOOL DISTRICTS THE AUTHORITY TO FORGIVE FIVE DAYS OF MISSED SCHOOL. "Well, I think it's a good move..." SENATOR LARRY MARTIN OF PICKENS COUNTY SAYS THE LAW REQUIRES 180 DAYS OF SCHOOL. BUT HE DOESN'T BELIEVE.. STUDENTS BENEFIT.. FROM MAKE-UP DAYS ADDED TO THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. "After Memorial Day to insist they go extra half days and so forth, I don't think that's altogether wise, because there's not a lot of instruction that takes place then." MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS, LIKE GREENVILLE COUNTY, HAVE MISSED SIX DAYS OF SCHOOL SO FAR. THREE OF THOSE DAYS ARE BUILT INTO THE SCHOOL CALENDAR. NOW THEY MUST DECIDE WHEN TO MAKE UP THE OTHER THREE... WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF DISRUPTION. "You know, it's really that balance of interference with family plans. People make plans for Saturday. You've got your pick-up schedule during the week versus the need for instructional days." HE SAYS GIVING LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS THE POWER TO FORGIVE SOME OF THEIR OWN SNOW DAYS... WOULD ELIMINATE SOME OF THE GUESSWORK BY PARENTS. "Making time up....it's a hard call." WHEN SCHOOLS GOES BACK AFTER PRESIDENT'S DAY.. WE WILL FIND OUT WHEN STUDENTS WILL HAVE TO MAKE UP SOME OF THOSE MISSED SNOW DAYS. OBY LYLES SAID TODAY.. GREENVILLE COUNTY STUDENTS WILL MAKE UP TWO OF THOSE DAYS ON MARCH 7th and 10th.. THAT'S A FRIDAY AND MONDAY. THE OTHER MAKEUP DAY WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.. UNLESS, HE SAYS.. THE LEGISLATURE APPROVES THIS BILL.. WHICH WOULD GIVE THEM THE POWER TO FORGIVE THAT EXTRA DAY.

HBO's 'True Blood' finale only muddles a muddled third season
After a frenzied penultimate episode characterized by poorly motivated character decisions, poorly hatched plotting, poorly staged revelations and cheaply discarded allegory, Sunday (Sept. 12) night's "True Blood" leaves Alan Ball and company with an almost insurmountable task in next week's third season finale. Somehow, the writers have one week to find a way to make us believe that this season wasn't all a random assortment of things that happened over the course of a few days in Bon Temps, a random assortment of things with barely any connection to each other and with almost not through-lines uniting characters. And speaking of characters, the writers have only one week to service a broad swath of beloved returning and new faces, some of whom were perplexingly dropped from the storytelling this season without any rhyme or reason.

When the pace of the game needs to be pushed to suit Millburn's style, Jenny Smith finds different ways to get it started.
Smith can orchestrate the offense at the point and get the transition game rolling with her play in the paint just the same as she helped Millburn pull away in the third quarter en route to a 43-32 victory over Caldwell yesterday in Millburn.
Smith finished with a game-high 17 points with 13 rebounds and Courtney Brosnan ended with 16 points and four assists to lead Millburn. Ijeoma Ikpe led Caldwell with 13 points and 15 rebounds.
"She's definitely our No. 1 leader out there and it's not just for her scoring," Brosnan said of Smith. "She does whatever it takes to keep us in the game whether it's by driving to the basket, shooting, getting rebounds or passing to someone who's having a good day. She's selfless."
Millburn stretched its five-point halftime lead to 30-19 when it started the third quarter on a 10-4 run that was capped by an Isabel Manfredonia jumper off a feed from Smith with 3:30 left. Smith later found Brosnan cutting on an inbounds play to make it 32-20 with 1:11 left.
Millburn led by as many as 18 in the fourth quarter and Brosnan and Smith combined to score 21 points in the second and third quarters.
"We work really well together," Smith said on playing with Brosnan. "We've been playing with each other for a while. We both play on the same AAU team, the Union County Cyclones, over the summer."
Ikpe scored eight points in the first quarter and it was tied at 10-10 in the second until Millburn went to its press, leading to a 10-0 run that ended with a shot by Brosnan off a pass from Smith. Caldwell responded with a basket by Victoria Leonardo and Meredith Weber competed a three-point play to cut the deficit to 20-15 at the half.
"Most of our offense is fed off of our defense," Brosnan said. "We know if we play hard on defense it will lead to more opportunities for us on offense."

Hi Bob! As this is a guyed (this does not work for self supporting towers) Rohn 25G tower for you, why would you not install a Rohn pier pin (inexpensive) instead of setting a portion of a section below ground in concrete? The pier pin is a well engineered process that saves lots of hassle, does not waste tower in the concrete and works much better from a stress (making sure there is equal load on each of the legs when the guy system is attached and tightened) standpoint. All you have to do is insert the pin straight vertical and make sure the concrete is level. Problem fixed! There are some pier pin pictures on the K3LR web site. 73!

I will make some phone calls and see what I can get done on delivery. I guess another question would be, since I was thinking of leveling it with a bubble level, but I dont have one that is over around a 6" long. Will a plumb bob through the center of the first section be accurate enough to make the tower straight as I go up in height to say 80 feet or so? I was rethinking the vertical leveling and thought I might just tie a string at the center of the top of the section (ten foot bottom section) I am going to cement in - tie a rock or something to it eyeball it to be in the center of the section at the end of the string at ground level then cement it in But then remembered the higher I go the more off center it will get if I am off at all at the bottom. So would a three or four foot bubble level be the way to go instead? Or would the plumb bob be accurate enough?

HAVERFORD — A full day prior to the opening shot of the tournament, USGA Executive Director Mike Davis fielded a question concerning Merion's fate as a future site of the U.S. Open. Obviously a bit premature, but Davis' response should bolster the notion that despite ending a 32-year break, the 2013 Open may not be a one-shot deal.
"This golf course is so magical that, yes, we want to see this week play out,' Davis said. "Personally I'd already like to see us return. I'm not sure Merion wants us to return. But the golf course is so good that when we sit in championship committee meetings and the championship committee ultimately decides the sites, it always starts with the golf course, how special it is, will it test the world's best players, what kind of drama will you get?'
America's governing body in golf has never been reticent about tabbing Merion as a venue for its championships, dating back to the U.S. Women's Amateur in 1904. In fact, the 113th U.S. Open is Merion's 18th USGA Championship, more than any club in the country.
"Everything has worked so well,' Davis said. "And for anybody to think that these rain events would curtail our enthusiasm for this, you're misguided.
"We have nothing to say but positive things about Merion now.'
That could change, especially if the complex logistics of hosting a massive event on a condensed piece of land bordered by neighborhoods proves to be too much for Merion to overcome. Davis briefly mentioned that the biggest hurdles for Merion's fifth U.S. Open are outside the ropes, like parking and traffic.
"(But) the community support has been unbelievable; Philadelphia as a golf town is incredible,' he said. "From a historic standpoint this truly is one of the great towns and great cities and great cultures for golf anywhere in the United States. So I think from the USGA standpoint ultimately it will be a championship committee in the future that decides it. But we haven't seen anything that would say, no, we won't come back here.'
â— â— â—
The term "mud ball' is not a new to golf, but it's been the topic of a shocking number of conversations with players leading up to today's opening round at Merion. The weather conditions this week — lots of rain, followed by a drying out period, then more projected rain and more drying — provide the perfect environment for mud to stick to a golf ball and potentially affect a shot.
For the uninitiated, Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell explains how it happens: "When it's wet and skidding, (the ball) is not going to pick up mud, it cleans as it (rolls). But when it bakes and tops a little bit, there's going to be a lot of mud balls.'
When asked about the potential for mud balls, USGA Vice President Tom O'Toole said the rules of golf permit players to seek relief without penalty due to casual water. But he reiterated in no uncertain terms that the U.S. Open will not be granting players the option to "lift, clean and replace,' no matter how much mud in on the course, equipment or golf balls, due to a long-standing USGA philosophy.
"If it was so bad, then the obvious response to that would be we probably wouldn't be playing,' O'Toole said.
According to 12-year PGA Tour veteran Steve Stricker, some mud on a golf ball could wind up costing an unlucky player a shot at the championship.
"It wasn't too bad (Wednesday) but it's still pretty sloppy and wet,' Stricker said. "So I imagine once we get a little bit dryer, we may be starting to get a little bit more mud on the ball. It's just golf and we've got to deal with it even though we're not going to be happy about it.
"We are more apt to get a mud ball nowadays than we were earlier in my career. I think the reason for that is that the golf balls have been made to spin less so the launch angle is a little bit higher. Mud takes spin off so it doesn't take much to really affect that ball.'
McDowell said that mud balls are unfair because it afflicts players randomly, often penalizing them for well-executed shots.
"I think golf is designed to be played from a closely mown fairway,' he said. "If you hit it in that fairway you deserve a great line and a great opportunity to attack the green surface. That's the reward you get for hitting the fairway.
"I think guys who hit it low, guys who hit it high, and guys who have a different spin rate, mud balls affect them differently.'

With Multnomah County's unemployment rate hovering near 11 percent and health-insurance premiums skyrocketing, now is no time to jack up prices for people facing a medical emergency.
For trying to raise the cost of ambulance service on Portlanders in the midst of a recession, we're giving American Medical Response a ride to the Rogue clinic.
Since 1995, Colorado-based AMR has held an exclusive contract to provide ambulance service in Multnomah County. Each year, the county lets AMR increase the rates it charges to patients based on annual increases in the federal consumer price index—usually resulting in a hike of about 3 percent.
But this year AMR ran into a problem. The recession meant the CPI actually shrank in 2009, giving AMR no automatic rate increase as in years past. And the news couldn't have come at a worse time for the company, which got hit last year in Multnomah County Circuit Court with a $3.3 million jury award in a lawsuit by the sexual-assault victims of former AMR paramedic Lannie Haszard. And AMR also settled for a reported $600,000 with the family of James Chasse Jr. for his 2006 death in police custody.
When AMR learned it would get no automatic rate increase this spring, the ambulance carrier audaciously asked the county for a bonus 12-percent rate increase instead. In documents filed with the county, AMR justified that by saying its profits aren't rising as quickly as the cost of doing business.
If AMR gets its wish, rates will jump from $892 per ride plus $20 a mile to $999 per ride plus $23 a mile. Those costs are charged directly to patients, usually paid by their insurance. AMR acknowledges the increase would result in higher co-pays.
Hearings examiner Allan Arlow held a hearing on the rate increase May 20. He's expected to make his ruling within a month. But an oversight board or the county board of commissioners could overturn his decision.
Without the increase, the company still expects to rake in $1 million this year in Multnomah County.
In the midst of this recession, we say AMR should take that million and be happy, without raising rates.

More on the king's ransom for the Ground Zero mosque. The Saudi offer rings hollow -- particularly after the Wikileak bombshell -- the Saudis are the "chief funders of al-Qaeda." And the Saudis are funding over 80% of the mosque building in America. And the Saudis have been spreading "pure Islam" for decades. And the Saudis fund Hamas groups like CAIR.
Abdullah should move it -- to Mecca -- and invite Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians and all non-Muslims to that apartheid state.
Mark your calenders -- we protest the mosque at the NYC Council meeting January 12th.
King mulls hospital site for mosque Washington Times
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, in an effort to quiet criticism of Muslims in the U.S., is quietly looking into moving the ground zero mosque to a less controversial Manhattan location, according to news reports Sunday.
New York City attorney Dudley Gaffin has contacted officials about the Saudi royal family's interest in moving the mosque from its site, two blocks from the former World Trade Center and within the damage zone on Sept. 11, 2001, to the shuttered St. Vincent's hospital campus in the West Village, the New York Post and other news organizations reported Sunday.
According to Mr. Gaffin, the king wants to save the hospital, which filed for bankruptcy earlier this year, and provide an alternative location for the ground zero mosque, which has been the subject of protests for months.
The mosque, part of a $140 million project planned for a site near the destroyed World Trade Center, has been called insensitive by critics, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and families of the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.
But the project has drawn support from other religious leaders and from city officials, including Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.
The 87-year-old Abdullah has said previously he would not get involved with the ground zero mosque, but the project's biggest proponents, developer Sharif El-Gamal and Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, are actively seeking funding for the project.
The Post reported that the Saudis see funding and moving the mosque project as a way to address concerns and highlight Muslim philanthropy.
The developers of Park51, the proposed Muslim community center and mosque, this month applied for $5 million in grants from a federal fund set up to aid redevelopment of the Sept. 11 attack area.
Mr. El-Gamal has said fundraising for the project is in the initial phases and is on schedule and expects construction to begin within three years, but the developer has been fighting off lawsuits for nonpayment of debt.
Pamela Geller, a blogger who has emerged as one of the leaders of the groups protesting the proposed Muslim mosque and community center, told The Washington Times that opposition to the project has not died down.
"The very idea that they would apply for $5 million from 9/11 funds is really outrageous," she said.
If the project is completed at the Lower Manhattan site, two blocks from ground zero, the mosque will represent a victory for the terrorists, she said.
"They will have stolen something sacred from the American people. Whenever someone mentions 'ground zero,' it will mean the mosque, not the site where thousands of innocent people lost their lives," she said.
"If the mosque is about healing, if that is true, we implore the imam to move it," she said. "This issue is not going to go away."
Mr. Rauf, who has been the target of some of the harshest criticism, announced last week a nationwide speaking tour on behalf of the project.
"We must retake the discourse among religions and cultures from the hands of the extremists around the world who benefit from hatred and violence," the imam said.
The imam feels that "he is in a position where his voice is being heard," said spokesman Gene Grabowski, adding that Mr. Rauf has been invited to speak on several college campuses, including Harvard and Yale universities.
The imam announced a new initiative, the Cordoba Movement, that would promote not only the ground zero mosque project but the construction of Muslim and interfaith community centers in other American cities and around the world.

Chainsaw Used In Attack On Family
MOUNDSVILLE – A man remained lodged in the Northern Regional Jail on Tuesday after he allegedly threatened his family with a chainsaw.
According to Marshall County Sheriff Kevin Cecil, deputies responded to a Waynesburg Pike residence just after 9:30 p.m. Monday. Once they arrived, they were met by a woman and her son who had escaped from their home.
The two said the man, identified as Allen Eugene Hager, 46, had attacked them and chased them into a bedroom. After barricading themselves inside the room, Hager allegedly used a chainsaw to cut down the door.
The woman and child escaped the home and contacted the authorities while Hager barricaded himself inside of the bedroom. Cecil said by the time deputies arrived, Hager was in the room and was also in possession of a rifle and shotgun.
"There was a standoff for a while," Cecil said.
At about 11:30 p.m., officers convinced Hager to surrender and took him into custody. He was charged with domestic battery and felonious assault and booked on $15,000 bond. As of Tuesday afternoon, he had yet to post bond, according to the West Virginia Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Authority booking website.
Cecil said Hager is originally from Pennsylvania and is staying with family in the area. He said while deputies have an idea as to what prompted the incident, they are not releasing that information until the investigation is complete.
Cecil said both the woman and the child escaped without injury. The State Police assisted sheriff's deputies in responding to the call.

B-School Students Behaving Badly
Freshman business students at the University of British Columbia who led a cheer at orientation condoning the rape of underage girls have plunged the school into a national controversy.
In the days that followed, two student co-chairs of the event resigned, the Sauder School of Business building was defaced with graffiti blaring "Sauder Teaches Rape," and the school pulled its support for "Frosh Week" activities.
Sauder Dean Robert Helsley vowed to investigate the incident, which occurred last week on a bus taking students between events, calling the chant a "deeply upsetting" event. Faculty members have been asked to increase the emphasis in class on "issues related to respect, dignity, and ethics."
The chant followed an earlier incident at St. Mary's University in Halifax. After a video of students there conducting a similar chant surfaced on social media, the president of the student association stepped down and two students now face disciplinary action.
The chant at UBC came to light after a first-year student posted the lyrics to Twitter. Jacqueline Chen, one of the organizers of Frosh Week, told UBC student newspaper, The Ubyssey, that the chant has been used for many years and that Frosh Week leaders have been instructed to keep the chant private.
The Commerce Undergraduate Society, which runs Frosh Week, initially issued a statement (PDF) vowing to take "all feasible steps" to ensure better behavior, but said "there is little we can do to completely control what some leaders may expose their students to." Two student leaders subsequently issued an apology describing the chant as "offensive and unacceptable conduct."

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Twenty teenagers who attend McKee High School put their babies to sleep at night, only to wake up hours later to the sound of crying. The next day, the teens walk into school exhausted from the travails of parenting.
Fortunately, the babies aren't real -- they're infant simulators offered through the school's "Baby Think It Over" program, a class about teen pregnancy, family life and what it's like to rear a child.
But such comprehensive sex-education courses aren't offered at every school. The city Department of Education doesn't mandate that schools offer the classes, even though they've been proven to help teenagers make safer, smarter decisions, representatives of Planned Parenthood of New York City said.
According to a recent study by the group, 84 percent of New Yorkers want sex education to be taught in schools. More than half believe it's already being offered. Actually, it's up to each principal to decide whether it should be taught, when it's taught and who teaches it.
"We know that with tight budgets and limited resources, principals are often forced to make hard decisions," said Dana Czuczka, associate vice president of government affairs for Planned Parenthood. "Since sex education is not a required part of the health-education program, oftentimes, it's left behind."
Ms. Czuczka said it's crucial for students to get a comprehensive sex-ed course to learn about healthy relationships, communication skills, decision-making skills, anatomy, contraception, abstinence and more. Ideally, such classes are offered in elementary, middle and high schools.
The need is great: One in three high school students is sexually active, with nearly one in five reportedly having four or more sex partners so far in their lifetime, yet only two-thirds of them reported using condoms at all, Ms. Czuczka said. Additionally, one in four teenage girls has a sexually transmitted disease.
"What we know from research is that when young people have accurate information, they make better decisions about their bodies and their relationships," she said. "Planned Parenthood believes that parents should be the primary sex educator of their children, but we also know they need help, and the schools need to be providing sex education to all kids."
Most, if not all, Staten Island high schools offer sex education, either as a separate class or as part of a required health class, officials said.
Some schools also offer free condoms.
At McKee, the topic is not taken lightly. Not only are there five health classes for seniors, but this year the school began offering health classes for freshmen.
"It's important because, at this juncture in the lives of young people, they can make decisions that reverberate for quite some time," said Noreen Mullen, the school's assistant principal of health and physical education. "It's important for us as the school, and as educators, to address that issue."
She said this is the second year the school is making use of the baby simulators, and that it has made a difference.
"A lot of the seniors said, 'Well, you know, I knew I wasn't ready to have a child. This really confirmed it,'" Ms. Mullen said. "The program addresses real concerns and areas where young people are vulnerable."
Concord High School has offered a similar program for three years and the staff has had great success, Principal Ron Gorsky said. As part of its sex-ed curriculum, students have access to a number of other resources, such as counselors who have been trained in an HIV/AIDS curriculum.
"These topics help to correct any misinformation that students have -- and help to ensure that students will make responsible decisions," he said.
Planned Parenthood is inaugurating a campaign called "We're Going to the Principal's Office" for parents who aren't sure whether their school offers sex education. For more information, visit www.ppnyc.org.

"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
Do you delight in the LORD? Do you enjoy your relationship with God? Or, is your relationship with God more about obedience and following rules? It occurs to me that a large part of my Christian walk has been focused on trying to be obedient and follow the rules to be "good enough" to be in a relationship with God. I can honestly say that I have not always had joy in my relationship with Jesus.
Jesus wants us to worship him and offer praise to him with joyful hearts not out of obligation. Jesus wants us to love him and enjoy our time with him. I have had moments of joy but I have had many more moments of regret and repentance. I have spent so much time trying to be right in God's eyes that I had forgotten that I am righteous because of what Jesus did for me.
I am learning to enjoy my time with Jesus. I am learning how to rejoice in him in all circumstances and give him the praise and honor that is due him—not only from obligation but because I delight in him. I rejoice in God my Savior. I love Jesus more than anything else. I worship God with my whole heart and my whole being—everything I am.
I encourage you to consider this in your life—do you delight in the LORD?

Philadelphia Police are asking for help to identify a suspect who attacked a man on a SEPTA train in an attempt to rob him of a phone, according to a report on Philly.com.
A surveillance video released by police shows a man pounce on a 23-year-old man, punching him repeatedly, demanding his cell phone. The suspect fled the train at the Berks Street stop.
The attack occurred around 8:30 a.m., Oct. 30. The victim was on a westbound Frankford Elevated train heading towards 69th Street, the report said.
Police describe the suspect as a bearded black male, about 5' 11", with dark complexion and a slim build. He wore a two-tone gray jacket, with tan corduroy pants, black or gray Nike sneakers and a black skull cap.
Anyone with information should call 215-686-TIPS (8477) or text a tip to PPD TIP (773847).

I am disgusted by the front page coverage of The Press the past two Sundays ("Districts: We are locked in to raises," Aug. 2. "I will never be going to jail again," Aug. 9).
I am aware that Grand Rapids is a conservative city, and that The Press is a conservative paper. Certain things, therefore, I expect -- such as the constant lampooning of teachers by The Press and the community. But I do not expect to see an article that exposes teachers' supposed greed one week, followed the next week by a front page article that sheds a sympathetic light on a violent man.
Shame on you for devaluing teachers one week, then uplifting a man convicted of manslaughter the next. Perhaps you could document a teacher in a positive light for once, to show Grand Rapids who teachers are, what they do, and why they are worth it.
It seems your editors would rather positively profile an ex-convict than a teacher. I am sure that Casey Therriault deserves a second chance, just as I am sure that teachers generally deserve their salary and benefits.
E-mail a letter to the editor for publication online and in print: firstname.lastname@example.com Please keep letters to less than 200 words and include your full name, home address and phone number.

OPALCO's October Surprise: $1 million being returned to ratepayers
There will be a surprise in every OPALCO member's October bill: a credit for a good portion of the electricity used during the October billing period.
Recently, the Bonneville Power Administration was compelled by a decision in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court to return about $1 million to the co-op. The OPALCO Board of Directors chose to give the kWh rebate to co-op members: every member of the cooperative will get a rebate for a portion of the kilowatt hours (kWh) they used in October.
"This couldn't come at a better time," OPALCO Manager Randy Cornelius said. "Our members are affected by the turn in the economy – both on and off the islands – and I'm thrilled the board was able to do something to help. That's what a co-op is all about."
The members of the OPALCO Board of Directors are Chris Thomerson, president; and Roger Crosby of Orcas Island, Ed Marble and Bob Myhr of Lopez Island, Dave Hylton and George Mulligan of San Juan Island and John Bogert of Shaw Island.
The federal Columbia River Power System (Bonneville and Grand Coulee dams) was built in 1937 to bring electricity to rural communities and to stimulate rural economic development. The rural beneficiaries are the publicly owned utilities, including co-ops, munis and public utility districts.
Private or "investor-owned" utilities wanted a share of the benefits of the federal system and in 1980 the Northwest Power Act was put into place to distribute benefits to investor-owned utilities with mostly urban residential and suburban small-farm customers.
In 2000, BPA was in court again with the private utilities over exchange benefits and reached a settlement. But in 2007, the court ruled that the settlement agreements with investor-owned utilities were not in compliance with the Northwest Power Act and a new settlement was reached, causing BPA to lower the amount of benefits paid to investor-owned utilities and to return funds to publicly-owned utilities.
OPALCO is a member-owned cooperative electrical utility serving more than 10,000 islanders on 20 islands in San Juan County. OPALCO provides electricity that is 97 percent greenhouse-gas free and is predominately generated by hydro-electric plants. OPALCO was founded in 1937 to bring electricity to rural islanders and is one of 900 electric co-ops in the United States today.

I promised I would do a haul post of my birthday goodies, and so…here we are! My birthday was just about two weeks ago (flew right by) and I ended up spoiling myself quite well, indeed. This can also be considered a preview of what's on the horizon; I hope you enjoy! 🙂
Ulta had sent out a 20% off coupon sometime in early-mid December, which I used to pick up some bareMinerals goodies I had my eye on. I am very pleased with all of these items so far. I had already tried one of the duos before (the Showstopper duo) and enjoyed it so much I knew I had to try more of the shades.
Zoya had an amazing flash sale and I finally decided to try the Anchor and Armor base and top coats, which I already love. I finally found my dream base and top coat! It made my previous manicure last longer than any other ones I have tried. I plan to buy the full sizes when these run out. It came with a mini of the Hurry Up dry drops and Remove+. I am undecided on both of those so far. I also bought the last two Zoya polishes I had on my wishlist, Charla and Ivanka. I imagine both will be stunning this summer.
Also while at Ulta I found the new Revlon nail polish displays. I picked up Whimsical to compare it to Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Air (post coming soon) and a few others.
And, more nail polish. Two shades from the OPI and Nicki Minaj collection and a shade I have had my eye on for a long time, Jade is the New Black. All three are stunning.
And a little bit more of a splurge. My very first taste of Chantecaille. This palette is stunning, I have had it for three weeks and have still managed not to touch it. I really should though, it seems a waste to let it sit there. I also decided on another Burberry shadow, Taupe Brown. My first try of Giorgio Armani blush, this is shade #3, a shimmery peach.
Another first, my very first try of Cle de Peau. This is the Extra Silky lipstick #127 (KarlaSugar has swatches here), and it's as divine as everyone says. Again, this is a total splurge item and a special occasion purchase because of the very steep price. Full review will be forthcoming.
I have tried the Dior Addict lipstick formula, but this was my first time trying their regular formula. I have three ladies to thank for convincing me I needed this shade (Xiao from Messy Wands, Paris from My Woman Stuff and Larie from Eye Heart It). Incidentally, that's all the proof you need that the Lipstick Bandits do their job well! 😉
My parents surprised me with a new bag, and I love it! The lavender inside is just gorgeous!
I was stunned when I opened my present! I love my mom and dad! <3
The boy also upped the ante this year with the MK watch I wanted! It's beautiful, and I have worn it every day. 🙂 This is the gold oversized runway watch.
And finally…
My free gift from Sephora and a Physicians Formula gel eyeliner set (it was 75% off at CVS, I couldn't resist!)
I hope you enjoyed this haul, and look for these reviews in the near future 🙂
cant wait to see your thoughts on the GA blush! looks wonderful. what great birthday gifts 😀
OMG. So many pretty things! I am seriously envious. Can't wait to see the review posts 🙂
Nice Birthday haul girl! You deserve it all!
Do try the Chantecaille, I'm wearing a LE palette(not this tiger one, another) I got in November and it's to die for.
Nice haul 🙂
Wooooow u got such amazing stuff! That's an awesome birthday! I loooove the purse ur parents have great taste 😉
That's an incredible haul. I am slack jawed! So many pretties. You deserve them all. 🙂
A haul well done! The Chantecaille palette is absolutely stunning, I don't blame you for not touching it for so long!
Lovely! When you're finally able to bring yourself to swatch the Chantecaille palette I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat to see the pictures.
Enjoy it all, you deserve it 🙂
♥ Jessica
Love all of the beauty stuff but….I WANT THAT WATCH!!!! 🙂
Ahhh the Chantecaille palette looks unbelievable! Can't wait to see some looks!
Ahhh! You got so much good stuff! Can't wait to read your reviews and see your FOTDs with some of it 🙂
Woohoo for birthday hauls! I love the Chantecaille palette – gorgeous! The Armani blush looks awesome, as well. And I love Zoya's Color Lock system! I stocked up on some more remove + during one of their flash promos, as well.
Oh I'm so jelly! I want all of that! I was looking for the PF gel liner trios 75% off cuz I use it as an eyeshadow base sometime 🙂
WOW lady you sure did get spoiled!!!!!!!! Im a bit jelly over here! Happy Belated Birthday!!!! xoxo
Wow. Nice haul!
Happy Birthday.
I am glad you are liking the Zoya Anchor base coat. I quite like it also and have used it for a few years now.
Happy Belated Birthday! What a great haul! So excited you got The Playlist palette – I love, love, love that one! Love the polishes, too – I have yet to find Whimsical. I wish they'd stock it in all drugstores instead of making it exclusive to some. 😛 The Coach bag is lovely! I love a neutral, patterned bag – they seem to go with everything!
ahhhhh very nice haul!!! love the watch 😉 hehe
Some of the things on your list i was like ooo000oo0000000 at!
Really need to find that Whimsical shade bc it looks so cute and your higher end splurges, good for you! we need to treat ourselves sometimes! how very swt of ur parents~~!
I really like Zoya products and they have so many great deals especially if you sign up for a free account with them. I like their remove+ mainly because of the bottle. It helps control the amount of remover I put on a cotton ball. That light blue/glitter revlon polish reminds me of a Deborah Lippmann I've been eyeing.
that MK watch is simply too gorgeous for its own good. 😉 it's L.O.V.E .
You're so lucky Danielle 🙂 men i love everything you got.I'm dying of envy here. haha.
Enjoy your new goodies. I shall wait patiently for all your reviews and swatches. Take care. 🙂
Happy Belated Birthday! Your haul is seriously amazing, so many pretties from brands I haven't tried yet!

Antony Gormley's EXPANSION FIELD is being presented for the first time in the large exhibition hall at the Zentrum Paul Klee. This new work, consisting of 60 individual sculptures fabricated from Corten steel, is derived directly from different postures of the human body. The rigorous conceptual basis of this work and its disciplined spatial arrangement engage the viewer in a first-hand experience of space and time, while drawing on references from prehistory, to Minimal and Body Art. The orthogonal field provides a strong counterpoint to the ZPK and Renzo Piano's organic architectural structure.
EXPANSION FIELD is a continuation of the various "Field" works made throughout Gormley's working life, including EUROPEAN FIELD and ASIAN FIELD, where tens of thousands of tiny clay figures occupy an indoor space; or in fields which cannot be understood at first sight, such as HORIZON FIELD in Bregenzer Wald, where a number of life-sized figures placed at the same height above sea level occupy an area of over 150 square kilometres.
These works are derived from captured moments of lived time that on the one hand can be associated with Body and Performance Art, and on the other, EXPANSION FIELD can be seen in relation to prehistoric monuments such as the Megalithic avenues of Carnac in Brittany and as a comment on the urban grid of Manhattan. EXPANSION FIELD has a strong affinity with the serial works of Donald Judd, including his monumental installation at Marfa in Texas, or with The Lightening Field of Walter De Maria. It re-examines the language of Cubism while continuing the demands of engagement made by Minimal Art.
EXPANSION FIELD could be seen as predestined as an installation at the Zentrum Paul Klee, since the work contrasts in an exciting way with the organic language of Renzo Piano's architecture while rich in its points of contact with the universe of Paul Klee. Both artists are interested in the connections and interchange between the evolution of nature and constructed realities.
Three early sculptures by the artist that engage with expansion and create a dialogue between growth, space and seriality are being exhibited in a cabinet alongside the spatial installation EXPANSION FIELD.
Curated by Peter Fischer, curatorial assistance Simone Küng. A catalogue of the exhibition will be published in November 2014.
Supported by Die Mobiliar, JTI, Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation.
EXPANSION FIELD: body and space mediated through architecture.
Over the years, my obsession has been to try to explore the body as a place rather than simply as an object and to reconcile its space with space at large. I want to acknowledge that while we live within a built environment and we are the only animal to construct a habitat using Euclidean principles, the moment we close our eyes and become conscious of the darkness of the body, we are in an unbounded, ever extending space without dimension. This intimate zone of experience has the same unlimited properties as the sky at night.
With this EXPANSION FIELD, the cosmological constant of an expanding universe is applied to the subjective space of the body. The work is comprised of 60 boxes that evoke the unstable place of the body as an architectural field: 60 cases for darkness, or night, each derived from the volumes of my body but translated into the geometry of architecture.
Fabricated in Corten steel and hermetically welded, the sculptures are absolute displacements of space; volumes of night placed in light. They are made from up to thirty different body positions that have each been expanded as many as six times, and the resulting expansions are orientated in all directions. The incremental expansion of these body zones is random but they are placed on a clear grid, through which the body of the viewer is invited to wander.
This is a reflective field in which subjective experience is catalysed by voided objects. The degree to which it encourages projection is the degree to which it encourages proprioception.
Antony Gormley (born 1950) is known worldwide for his sculptures, installations and works in public spaces. In all the works, the theme is the relationship of the human body to space. Gormley dedicates his work to the further development of the potential of sculpture, as has been evident since the 1970s, integrating his own body and the bodies of others into his work. In this way he poses fundamental questions about the relationship between the human being, nature and the cosmos. Gormley constantly attempts to understand the space of a work of art as a place in which new behaviours, thoughts and feelings are able to come into existence.

Department of Public Works officials said a 10-inch main broke in the 400 block of East Oliver Street, and it's impacting 15 homes, two apartment buildings and the city arts building.
There was no word on when repairs would be completed.

By AJ LaValle, Syracuse
8 p.m. Tuesdays on NBC
Episode: Four.
This week's show started off with a twist, a challenge for the judges, tempting them to eat goodies. I thought trainer Bob was going to cave in when he smelled the cupcakes, but he kept it together.
When the big challenge came, running down a mountain and back up with a flag (in a time they bet they could beat), Bob's team gave up the opportunity to win it and was beaten by the Red Team. Preparing for weigh-in, he gave them hell and was brutal in the gym. There's no doubt he's a superb trainer, but please, Bob, no more tattoos, OK? They're not working for me.
In the end, the Red Team won immunity, and I found myself rooting for trainer Kim, who is the low-key quiet leader of the bunch.
Losing the weigh-in, Blue was blue as Patty Gonzalez was voted off. Black Team trainer Jillian continues to sneer and flex her buff biceps while motivating her charges.
A key note about this program: The Web site BiggestLoserClub.com offers sensible, helpful info about diet and exercise. Anyone can log on and learn from this site. The message is clear. If a guy weighing 400 pounds can run on a treadmill and relearn how to be a healthy human being while being watched by millions of people, every viewer watching can do it.
Each week brings an entertaining competition, while providing a positive message and great health tips. What can be better than that?

...the living universe is revealed for what it is: infinite and eternal. A universe which consists of infinite space that has no beginning, and no end."
So say the authors of The Big Bang: A Critical Analysis, by Cosmology Science Publishers, Cambridge. The key question for Big Bang folk: what caused the singularity to start expanding?
The work is a collection of papers, most with their own abstracts. The first opens: Most, but not all cosmologists favor the inflationary Big Bang model.... The origin...is a mathematically obscure state - a "singularity" of zero volume that contained infinite density and infinite energy. Why [it] existed, how it originated, and why it exploded, cannot be explained....
The papers tell of the Hubble-length universe, the galaxies and stars that can be observed by current technology, and many more, far older galaxies and "walls" of galaxies flowing much as rivers. The papers tell also of galaxies colliding from many directions, not likely if their movements began in an explosion.
If there was a big bang, it was not the beginning, but a continuation....
Hoyle was not alone in rejecting LeMaitre's theory. Einstein rejected LeMaitre to his face at the 1927 Solvay conference, saying "your physics is abominable".

I've been looking into USC for a little while, but I'm a little unsure. What can you tell me about their English department and humanities in general? Is it a very good department, or 2nd rate? I'm particularly interested in creative writing, btw.

There are better places than USC for English - especially if you want to do creative writing.
In southern California, better choices would be UCLA, UC Riverside, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, University of Redlands, Pomona, Scripps (if female), Occidental. This is just my opinion, however.

I know that UC Irvine has a really good program. Would it be on par or above/below that of UCLA?
Those are the only two places in Cali I'd want to go to, otherwise I'll go out of state.
|By Carolyn (Carolyn) on Monday, March 15, 2004 - 07:09 pm: Edit
If your main interest is comparative literature, go for UCLA. They have an excellent department. However, if you want more of a creative writing component, go for UCI. Although their creative writing program is geared towards graduate students, they offer more class opportunities in creative writing for undergrads than UCLA. They also have a unique major in creative journalism (non-fiction) which sounds super (and at least would give you some skills to earn a living after graduation.)
If you'd like some suggestions for schools outside of California with good writing programs, let me know.
|By Fuzzymittens (Fuzzymittens) on Monday, March 15, 2004 - 07:19 pm: Edit
Thanks. I'm most definitely interested in creative writing, more towards fiction (slight interest in poetry).
As for out of state, I've been considering NYU, Middlebury & Cornell (despite almost negligible chance of admission to those two, heh), and UEA (tops creative writing in UK).
I've already eliminated several other choices for various reasons, but if you have some to suggest, I'd be enthralled to hear them.

And, speaking of NYU, does anyone know how good their creative writing program is?
|By Carolyn (Carolyn) on Wednesday, March 17, 2004 - 01:20 am: Edit
Here's a few more schools to consider outside of Calif - all with excellent creative writing programs: Kenyon, the University of Denver, Emerson, Denison, Bucknell, Brown, Bard, U of Arizona, Oberlin, Trinity College, Tufts, U of Iowa, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Hamilton, Grinnell...
|By Carolyn (Carolyn) on Wednesday, March 17, 2004 - 01:21 am: Edit
And NYU's creative writing program is considered very good. Oh, almost forgot: Sarah Lawrence
|By Fuzzymittens (Fuzzymittens) on Wednesday, March 17, 2004 - 02:00 am: Edit
Having looked into Emerson a while ago, I was sort of put off by the apparent weakness in academics, though the structure of the creative writing program was certainly intriguing.
And be damned if I could glean any information from John Hopkins english dept. site.
