Below are a couple of news items from my recent trip to Washington D.C. I was part of the GCSAA's (golf course superintendent's association of America) Government Relations Committee that took part in the National Golf Day. I had the opportunity to spend time with the Senior Legislative Assistants in the offices of Senator's Boxer and Feinstein and Representative Gallegly, in an effort to educate them on the important role that golf courses play in many local economies. Enjoy.
GCSAA represents in Washington on National Golf Day
Golf is so much more than a game - it's an industry that contributes billions each year to local, state and national economics, and employs more than 2 million people nationwide. This is the story that was told on Capitol Hill on April 13, National Golf Day, by members of GCSAA's Board of Directors, Government Relations Committee and staff, as well as allied golf organizations CMAA, NGCOA and the PGA of America. For the initiative, which is part of the We Are Golf coalition, GCSAA educated lawmakers about the U.S. golf industry's economic, environmental and social contributions.
GCSAA's storyteller
As part of the GCSAA delegation, President Robert M. Randquist, CGCS; CEO Rhett Evans; and Jay Goughnour, Class A GCSAA member, joined other association leaders to represent the industry in meetings with Democratic and Republican leadership, the Congressional Golf Task Force as well as the Congressional Black Caucus, and shared quantifiable data that demonstrates the economic contributions golf makes.
In 2008, Goughnour bought Raccoon Valley Golf Course in his hometown of Jefferson, Iowa. He would continue to serve as the golf course superintendent, while his wife, Nikki, tended to the pro shop and office. But just months after purchasing the golf facility, Mother Nature unleashed her fury as water overflowed the banks of the adjacent Raccoon Creek. The Goughners would close their course for more than a month, losing $40,000 in revenue during the height of the golf season (accounting for just under 25 percent of annual revenues). Furthermore, the couple took out a loan for $60,000 to repair the damage.
Working diligently – while taking second jobs to cover the bills – the Goughnours slowly returned the course back to where it was with the intent on improving it. "It is the American dream to be a business owner," Jay Goughnour said. "Then, through no fault of your own, it gets wiped away by a freak of nature. We are working hard to restore what we had and improve upon it. It would have been nice to be on the same footing as other small businesses to be eligible for government aid."
Also representing GCSAA at National Golf Day events were: Vice President Sandy G. Queen, CGCS; Past President James R. Fitzroy, CGCS; Directors Rafael Barajas, CGCS, and Peter J. Grass, CGCS; and members of the GCSAA Government Relations Committee (Patrick Finlen, CGCS, chairman; John O'Keefe, CGCS, vice chairman; Charles Wolsborn; Robert Ehrler, CGCS; David Coote; Robert Raley; Mark F. Jordan, CGCS; Joseph McCleary, CGCS; John Ekstrom; and Robert Nielsen, Jr., CGCS). Carrie Riordan, GCSAA's senior director of member programs; Chava McKeel, GCSAA's senior manager of information and public policy; and Jeff Bollig, GCSAA's senior director of communications.
A nonstop agenda
Additional NGD activities included a First Tee Congressional Breakfast featuring First Tee scholars, Jim Nantz, and representatives of allied golf. Additionally, We Are Golf's initiative was presented to members of Congress, their staffs and the media with a live session featuring PGA teaching pro Jim Estes and Ramon Padilla of the Salute Military Golf Association. GCSAA Class A members Teddy Blauvelt and Jon Lobenstine also participated in a display for members of Congress and their staffs of how golf courses are compatible with the environment.

The government relations committee held its annual meeting while in Washington, addressing a briefing on priority issues; as well as updates on GCSAA public policy concerning general permits for pesticide applications, H-2B rules, ADA accessibility guidelines, Endangered Species Act litigation and more. Members also discussed coordination strategies with chapter government relations committees and local resources regarding pesticide and fertilizer advocacy efforts. Michael O'Brien from Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment (RISE) provided members with an update on RISE's consumer outreach campaign, Debug the Myth.
The We Are Golf coalition retained the Podesta Group, a Washington, D.C.-based government and public affairs firm, to coordinate the initiative's unprecedented legislative efforts concerning small business, labor, tax and environmental goals. Its objective is to assist the coalition in getting the golf industry a seat at the table when important and relevant legislation is being developed. Visit We Are Golf.org for more information on the coalition and its strategic progress.

This store is a 99 cent store in the truest sense. So many of the 99 cent stores around the city are 99 cents and more, heavy on the more. Everything here is 99 cents, or less. You can even buy by multiples.
There is no way I wouldn't love this place, but it became really obvious that this was going to be a special experience while we waited patiently for a parking space. You see this sign?
and this is how people were parked.
I love idiots.
So yeah, this store sells everything, from the hardware store, to your undergarment drawer. Frozen foods, and fresh bread, including kosher goods. They even had a section specializing in treats, toys and decoration for Purim baskets.
So to be completely serious for a few seconds, 99¢ The Limit is actually a really good store if you're broke like me and need to squirrel your money. I found foodstuffs, and all kinds of random things that I wanted to buy, but managed to control myself, and only walk away with some Herr's Ketchup flavored potato chips (I only ever find them in Long Island!) and a pop-tube of Pillsbury Flaky Golden Layers biscuits (another fave and supermarket rarity). Now, of course, I didn't take pictures of these items. As per the usual, I present to you the items that you should probably spend a little more money than a dollar on, the awesomely and oddly named, and the things I think are just plain jokes.
Spend More Money:
I needn't say more.
Wouldn't make a half bad Drag name, right?
You've seen it. Similar to the logo, in the trampstamp position. On Shayla, the lumpy girl with the acne scars in front of you on line at the water park.
Buy it. I'd like to see you try.
Sing it with me - Why you comin' home, 5 in the morn'...is something goin' on? Lemme smell
Like Alfie the 13 year old alleged father in England.
Treat your baby with a little bit of Old Yeller.
Samuel L. Jackson. Deep Blue Sea:
Coincidentally, I've had a cringe-worthy line off the soundtrack in my head, and have been saying it inappropriately for weeks now because it's that bad, and I just can't stop myself -
"my head is like a shark's fin!"
-LL Cool J, Deepest Bluest
Kotex can't decide if they want to control your menses
Or allow it to flow free
Ok, so you can't exchange books.
But there was no sign saying you couldn't return or exchange underwear (which they had TONS of). Swear.
Holler. In hindsight, I should have bought these.
That cutie corn stick knows he just signed his death certificate.
Um, Gross.
Here's where shit gets real retarded.
Told ya.
You see that, right? It's a durm.
Happy Air Conditioner toy, for the kid who from the start seems to respond to the ads on daytime tv to get your degree in air conditioning repair without needing a G.E.D.
Play house come along game = greatness.
Mini The child likes the thing = great greatness
And I think to myself, what a vonderful world.
Notice - markers, not sand.
This was on the back of a toy cosmetic set. Infant.
Jokes. I told you.

Jones Sits Out, but Thumb Feeling Better
Chipper Jones' left thumb was feeling better Saturday, though not enough for him to play in a spring training game.
The Atlanta Braves left fielder was hurt Friday while making a diving catch in the first inning of a 2-0 victory over Philadelphia. He sprained the thumb on his glove hand when he slammed into the ground.
Jones was listed as day to day after undergoing follow-up treatment in Kissimmee, where a Braves split squad tied the New York Mets 2-2 in 10 innings.
"It's gotten better just during the course of the day with the treatment he's doing," said Dr. Joe Chandler, the team physician. "He's got very little swelling today, which is a great sign."
Jones was using hot and cold treatments, ultrasound and massage to speed up the recovery process.
"I don't see him being out for too long," Chandler said. "We'll check it (Sunday) and see."
Jones won't return until he's fully recovered. There's no reason to rush him back on the field in the early days of spring training.
"If he's in a little bit of pain, we'll hold him out," Chandler said.


text: The two of us use well water which that means that our water source is used from the ground. The water contains a whole mess of minerals plus is gross. It gets all over our tub surround, corrodes our fixtures plus ruins our body. The hard water also can not be stopped by any water softeners or water washing products. It ruins all nice things in the plumbing neighborhood. Well recently our hard water was able to ruin our sizzling water. I was doing my cleaning plus I noticed that there was an icky rotten egg stink, and every time I went to use the water the stink came through the air. It was so gross that I could not kneel to clean dishes. I also did not want to wash my hair in that gross stink either. My family has had this happen at one time plus I knew what I had to do to repair the issue. The issue is that the sizzling water tank has a section called an anode rod. The rod is what contains the minerals plus bad things in our hard water. It is essentially a piece of equipment that is used to wash out the water. Well our water is so terrible that the anode rod grabs so many minerals plus clogs up. Then the water gets dirtied plus stinks like eggs. I did not want to call a plumber or a plumbing provider. My partner has torn out so several anode rods that he knew what to do; Next we had to dump blench down our the equipment.

Who'd be up for a DreadBall tournament?
With the imminent release of Mantic's DreadBall I've been wandering what sort of appetite there would be for players to attend a day long tournament event in the West midlands would be? I'm not promising I'll be running such an event, but I am giving it serious consideration. So how many of you would be seriously interested in attending an event held at some point during the end of January 2013 or early February 2013, in the West Midlands. It'd most likely be a single day event held on a Saturday. I'd be looking at around maybe £10 a ticket. Let me know what you all think. Peace out!

I've always loved the Korean word for fish: "mulgogi", a compound formed from the words "water" (mul) and "meat" (gogi). More than simply labeling a common class of aquatic creatures, "mulgogi" suggests a way of looking at the world, a very East Asian orientation that assumes all things that swim to be edible unless proven otherwise.
Much of Korean seafood strikes the average Westerner as very different, and some of it as downright bizarre: fermented skate, with its powerful ammonia smell; sea cucumbers, whose similarity to an actual cucumber begins and ends with its oblong shape; and live octopus, which is both alive and an octopus. The list goes on, but perhaps no other creature better exemplifies the Korean commitment to sampling the totality of the world's sea life than the hagfish. Though hagfish are found all over the world and have been known for centuries, they are only eaten in Korea and by the Korean diaspora in Japan and the United States. Even the Chinese – about whom Koreans joke will eat every four-legged thing except the table – lay off the hagfish.
You may see them around Korea in fish markets and the tanks in front of restaurants, these pinkish eel-like creatures the Koreans call ggomjangeo, resting in a knotted mass awaiting the fillet knife. The process of preparing them is not for the squeamish: the hagfish are skinned alive, chopped up and thrown still writhing onto a grill with red pepper sauce and onions and served with sesame leaves and garlic.
Once you get past the idea of food squirming on the grill, ggomjangeo bokkeum is actually quite tasty. It has a firm, springy texture, and presents some odd shapes as the intestines curl like shirtsleeves, but it ends up tasting more like the same yangnyeom sauce you enjoy with your fried chicken. Some eat it because, like all things vaguely penis-shaped, the hagfish is thought to be a male "stamina food". Whether you get a rise out of it or not, grilled hagfish is far from the strangest-tasting food you will ever put in your mouth, but considered as an animal, it is arguably one of the biggest oddballs you will encounter on the Korean menu.
Total Weirdo
For starters, the name is misleading. The jangeo part of the name means 'eel', though hagfish are not even remotely related to eels and bear only a superficial resemblance to them. The English name hagfish isn't much better, because as it turns out, they're not true fish either: they have no jaws, stomach or true fins, and have primitive eyes that sense light but can't resolve images. Scientists are not even unanimous on whether to classify the hagfish as a vertebrate – an ostensibly unambiguous category – because it is the only known creature to have a bony skull but a spine made entirely of cartilage. The hagfish is so hard to classify that when Carl Linnaeus, the father of modern taxonomy, first encountered one in 1754, he declared it to be a worm, a classification which managed to stand for nearly four decades until it was corrected.
Today we know that the hagfish is an ancient animal – a so-called living fossil that has changed little in over 300 million years and is more closely related to the common ancestor of all vertebrates than it is to any other animal living today except the lamprey (another total weirdo). While scientists continue to debate its place in the evolutionary tree, current opinion strongly suggests that the creature on your dinner plate is a charter member of the proud lineage that gave the animal kingdom its very first spinal column.
Ain't Got No Alibi
While "fish" may miss the mark, "hag" is not unfair. The hagfish is widely considered to be one of the ugliest animals in the world, because it manages to combine nearly every quality we find repulsive in animals. It looks harmless enough sitting there on the bottom of the tank with its little whiskers (called 'barbels') reminiscent of catfish, but just below them, tucked out of sight, is a mouth so creepy that fans of H.R. Giger have wondered whether the retractable mouths of his cinematic aliens were inspired by the hagfish's 'rasping tongue': four rows of tooth-like "rasps" that project from the mouth (which opens horizontally, by the way), grasp the flesh of its prey and haul it toward the gullet.
The hagfish's diet doesn't win it any admirers either. Once thought to be exclusively a scavenger – another class of animal that no one loves – it is now known to subsist mainly on large, deep-sea worms, a revelation which merely elevated it from a revolting opportunist to a revolting predator. It does scavenge part-time, however: when the carcass of a dead whale or other creature settles on the bottom, thousands of hagfish follow their single nostril to the buffet. Using their rasping tongues, they burrow into the carcass and eat it from the inside out, thus combining the most gag-inducing features of vultures and maggots into one charming package. They've also been known to use their unique skill set to infest the bodies of fish trapped in nets, which naturally has done little to endear them to fisherman around the world. Though they certainly chow down like vertebrates, they have the distinctly invertebrate ability to absorb nutrients directly through their skin, which comes in handy when you are literally tucked in to your meal.
"He slimed me"
Despite all that, one of the most remarkable and literally repulsive features of the hagfish is not the way it eats but the way it defends itself from being eaten. If you've taken a close look inside a tank full of hagfish, you may have noticed strands of milky filaments swirling around the tank like old cobwebs. When a hagfish is bitten by a predator (or seized by a middle-aged woman in pink rubber boots) it quickly emits a copious amount of slimy mucus which instantly reacts with water to become a tough, stretchy glob that envelops its body like a cocoon. This slime clogs the gills of would-be predators, who gag on it and spit out the hagfish unharmed thanks to its tough skin (belts, wallets and other accessories are made from it and sold as "eel leather"). Once the danger has passed, the hagfish twists into a knot and slides the knot down the length of its body, whisking off the slime in one motion. This defense strategy is extremely effective; the hagfish has no known aquatic predators because it has evolved over hundreds of millions of years – not to be smarter or faster – but to be chewed on, found repulsive, and spit out intact.
The slime has also acted as a turn-off to all but the most determined human diners, and is the source of its genus name Myxine (from the Greek word for slime) as well as its more colorful nicknames slime eel and snot eel. It turns out, however, that hagfish slime is edible. Because it's composed of protein, it is said to be used as a substitute for egg whites, though I've yet to find a restaurant anywhere that uses it. Who knows: maybe with a slightly catchier name and a kickass marketing strategy, hagfish slime omelets could be finding their way to a breakfast menu near you.
A less far-fetched scenario would be finding a use for it as a fabric. A team of researchers at the University of Guelph, Ontario is looking for ways to replicate the tough, stretchy fibers in hagfish slime and spin them into a renewable fabric that could one day replace non-renewable oil-based fabrics like lycra, spandex, and nylon. They're not there yet, but hagfish hotpants remain a theoretical possibility.
There's still a lot we don't know about the hagfish, like the size and health of their populations, how they reproduce, how to tell their approximate age, and their precise role in ocean ecosystems. Information like this is critical for managing hagfish fisheries, which are currently unregulated in the United States (which is actually where most of the hagfish in Korea now come from). If there is a less likely candidate for overfishing than the hagfish I hope I never meet it (or eat it), but it's worth looking after them all the same. After all, they may be weird, but they're family.
Author's Note: October 15th is Hagfish Day, a holiday created by WhaleTimes.org to remind people that even the ugliest creatures need our conservation efforts. Whether you decide that the best way to celebrate Hagfish Day is by eating a hagfish or by not eating one is up to you. I won't judge.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama has picked the widely respected housing commissioner for New York City, Shaun Donovan, to be the secretary of housing in his cabinet.
Assuming that Mr. Donovan, 42, is confirmed by the Senate to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development, he would be returning to the agency where he worked in the Clinton administration as acting federal housing commissioner and, earlier, as deputy assistant secretary for multifamily housing, overseeing subsidies and properties for about two million families.
Mr. Donovan has experience in all facets of the affordable housing market, having worked in both the nonprofit and private sectors and in academia as a scholar of housing policy. He has even worked as an architect in New York and Italy.
With permission this year from Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who hired him in March 2004, Mr. Donovan took a leave of absence to campaign for and advise Mr. Obama's presidential campaign. Mr. Obama named Mr. Donovan to the housing post on Saturday, in his weekly national radio address.
"Shaun Donovan has been one of the most effective housing commissioners in New York City's history," said Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, who had championed Mr. Donovan. "At this time, with the housing crisis raging, he is exactly the kind of person we need as HUD secretary."Continue reading the main story
As chief of New York's Department of Housing Preservation and Development, Mr. Donovan is in charge of the Bloomberg administration's $7.5 billion New Housing Marketplace Plan to build or preserve 165,000 units for to low- and moderate-income families, housing up to 500,000 residents, by 2013.
Prior to his hiring by Mr. Bloomberg, Mr. Donovan was a managing director at Prudential Mortgage Capital Co., in charge of its portfolio of investments in affordable housing loans, including Fannie Mae and the Federal Housing Administration debt.
He came to Prudential from New York University, where Mr. Donovan had been a visiting scholar doing research on preservation of federally assisted housing. He also has been a researcher at Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies, and was a consultant to the Millennial Housing Commission, set up by Congress to recommend new ways to encourage production of affordable housing nationwide.
Before his stint at HUD in the 1990s, and after graduation from Harvard with a degree in public administration and architecture, Mr. Donovan worked for a nonprofit lender and developer for affordable properties.
Given his various roles, Mr. Donovan is well known in housing policy circles, and was a leading contender for a senior post at HUD. Some housing experts suggested that he might not get the top job, in part because Hispanic groups were pressing for a Hispanic candidate.
"Shaun is brilliant, really thoughtful and creative, and knowledgeable about a broad range of housing policies in ways that unfortunately is very unusual," said Barbara Sard, the director of housing policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a research and advocacy group.
The housing and credit crises that began in mid-2007 have hurt the affordable housing sector like much else. Before that, Mr. Donovan was considered a national innovator in capitalizing on the strong real estate market to find financing for low-cost housing. He held to a middle ground between free-market forces who opposed government controls and liberal groups that believed only government and nonprofit groups could be counted on to provide housing for the working class.
"I would never believe that the private sector, left to its own devices, is the best possible solution," he said in 2006. "I'm in government because of the role of government in setting rules and working in partnership with the private sector. On the other hand, there's no way you could ever get to a scale that can really affect the housing problems in this country without working with the market."
Under Mr. Donovan, the Bloomberg administration has promoted "inclusionary zoning" that allows developers to build multifamily structures of more density — that is, more units for the space — in return for setting aside a portion of their projects for lower-income residents.
He helped to create a $200 million fund with contributions from the city, seven major foundations and financial institutions, to help nonprofit housing groups and small developers compete for private land sales. Working more closely with HUD than local officials have in the past, he has encouraged the department to help nonprofit groups or tenants take over HUD-assisted apartment buildings that are in foreclosure; typically, the federal government put such properties up for bids.Continue reading the main story

The work of the Popel Shaw Center for Race and Ethnicity (PSC) is guided by a vision of interactive pluralism, a framework that affirms the diversity of our student, faculty, and staff body, stands for mutual recognition and respect of difference, pursues community interaction along difference for personal and educational growth, and commits ourselves to the building of a multicultural and just community:
Effective diversity and social justice work requires a frame of mind that view difference as our greatest asset not our greatest weakness.
Scope & Mission
The office operates from an inclusive definition of diversity that includes race, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual identity/orientation, gender identity & expression, and the intersections of each of these social identity markers. In many of these areas the office works in collaboration with academic departments (e.g. Africana Studies, Women & Gender Studies, Sociology) and other administrative offices (e.g. Women's & Gender Resource Center, Center for Service, Spirituality, and Social Justice, LGBTQ Services, and Institutional Initiatives).
- Identity Development: Part of creating a community that is reflective and responsive to our campus diversity includes students exploring and developing a sense of who they are racially, as gendered beings, in regards to their sexual identity, and with respect to other dimensions of their social and personal identity.
- Intercultural Competence/Maturity: Developing multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skill among our student, faculty and staff body is essential in effectively and responsibility engaging in diverse environments.
- Leadership & Engagement: Effective and skilled leadership and engagement are necessary in meeting the challenges of a living and working in 21st century multicultural communities.
Inclusive Excellence: Championed by the American Association of Colleges & Universities (AACU), the action of inclusive excellence requires us to uncover inequities in student success an identity practices that lead to change in the context of diversity, inclusion, equity/equity mindedness.
Advising & Support Services
Student Walk-In Hours:
