Ottawa, May 27, 2008 – A prominent German scholar is coming to Canada to further his research on political representation and political identity. Hans-Dieter Klingemann, a Political Science professor at the Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin and Freie Universität Berlin, has been awarded this year's John G. Diefenbaker Award by the Canada Council for the Arts.
Dr. Klingemann will spend a year, from August 2008 to July 2009, at Simon Fraser University (Burnaby, BC), working with the Department of Political Science, where he will undertake two research projects. His first project will examine the role of left-right orientation in political representation across nations. It builds on earlier work in which he explored how ordinary citizens understand "left" and "right" politics, place political parties along the left-right continuum as well as how political parties formulate and emphasize issues and position them on the left-right framework in their electoral campaigns.
Dr. Klingemann's second project on political identity will compare and contrast the Canadian experience, as a politically diverse and inclusive community in a multicultural setting, with the European challenges of identity and democratic legitimacy. Dr. Klingemann believes that Canada's experience can provide valuable insight for developing a political community in a culturally diverse society.
"Given his past record of research collaboration and professional association in the international political science community, Dr. Klingemann's visit to Simon Fraser University is certain to bring tremendous value to our department and the whole Canadian political and social science community", wrote David Laycock, Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science at Simon Fraser University, in his letter of support for Dr. Klingemann's nomination. "It is hard for us to imagine a more deserving or prestigious candidate for the award and we are very excited to work with him in Canada."
Established in 1991, the John G. Diefenbaker Award is an annual award honouring the memory of former Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker. It enables a scholar who is a German citizen to spend up to 12 months in Canada to pursue research in the social sciences and humanities. Candidates must be nominated by a university department or research institute in Canada. The value of the award is up to $75,000 provided by the Canada Council for the Arts, plus a travel allowance of up to $20,000 provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). Funded by an endowment of approximately $2 million from the Government of Canada, the award is administered by the Canada Council for the Arts.
Hans-Dieter Klingemann is one of the world's most renowned political scientists, having made major international contributions to the study of comparative political behaviour, party politics, and political ideologies. He explains how institutions in government and civil society interact with key citizen attitudes and beliefs in democratic politics. In his long career, Dr. Klingemann has authored 13 books, over 150 articles and book chapters and edited 22 scholarly volumes. He has been a principal investigator on over 20 major research grants.
He is a member of the German Academy of Sciences, a foreign member of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters and holds two honorary doctorates. Dr. Klingemann has also been a visiting scholar at more than twelve universities across Europe and the United States, including an appointment as the Associate Director of Research at the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris.
In addition to its principal role of promoting and fostering the arts in Canada, the Council administers and awards prizes and fellowships to over 150 artists and scholars annually in the arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences and engineering. Among these are the Killam Prizes, the Killam Research Fellowships, the Molson Prizes, the Governor General's Literary Awards, the Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts and the Walter Carsen Prize for Excellence in the Performing Arts.

Business collaboration, productivity and process apps went mobile in a big way in 2012, and this upward trend is expected to continue through 2017.
In a new report, research firm Strategy Analytics says more than 200 million mobile workers will be using mobile business apps in 2013. It predicts that the revenue associated with these mobile business apps will increase from $25 billion in 2012 to almost $50 billion by the end of 2017.
"The consumer mobile experience has taught mobile workers to expect, even demand, access to information and applications from anywhere using mobile devices," said Mark Levitt, director of business cloud strategies at Strategy Analytics.
"Mobile workers have moved beyond just mobile email and messaging to include other collaboration apps such as conferencing, productivity apps such as content authoring, and business process apps such as CRM and even ERP."
"The business imperative for workers to be productive while on the way to, from and at customer and other remote work sites is driving the rapid mobilization of business apps," added Andrew Brown, the firm's director of enterprise research. "Growth in secure application distribution through mobile device and application management (MDM and MAM) and Enterprise App Stores is helping to allay security fears and ensure compliance."

I also take a handful of pills with every meal and snacks to digest the food I eat....

Zen Grid Framework
The Zen Grid Framework is the evolution of the Zen Grid Template that we implemented way back in November 2009. Since then the template has undergone some enormous change and is now a standalone template framework that has been designed to be used in conjunction with Zen Grid Framework compatible templates. The new framework offers an extraordinary number of features with a simple to use interface.
Feature rich and easy to use
The Basics
The compatible template can override css, html markup and add extra js which makes it an incredibly flexible system with a low overhead. The beauty of this is that the core is easily maintained and easily upgradeable from version to version. In most cases the style of the template is truly separated from the layout which gives designers the opportunity to create the Joomla template of their dreams without needing to reinvent the wheel from a coding perspective.
Script compression and performance tweaks

Yesterday morning, U.S. Border Patrol fired shots when they were hit by rocks and a gun was pointed at them coming from the direction of the Mexican border on the Rio Grande.
The incident, that occurred near Brownsville in Texas, according to the the El Paso Times, resulted in several people being taken into custody and the Mexican government being notified of shots fired into Mexico by U.S. officials.
Border patrol agents are claiming they were not able to take cover when rocks were thrown, while another agent claims to have seen someone on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande with a gun pointed at him. It is not known why Border Patrol was in the area or if anyone was injured on the Mexican side of the border from the gunshots.

By John R. Lott Jr.
People are beginning to notice what research has shown for years: Multiple-victim public shootings keep occurring in places where guns are already banned. Forty states have broad right-to-carry laws, but even within these states it is the "gun-free zones," not other public places, where the attacks happen. It is high time that legislatures remove these roadblocks to people protecting themselves, including at public universities.
Whether it is Virginia Tech or other deadly attacks - Columbine High School, where 13 were shot dead by two students in 1999; Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, where 23 were fatally shot by a deranged man in 1991; or a McDonald's in Southern California, where 21 people were shot dead by an unemployed security guard in 1984 - they happened in gun-free zones. (Many older shootings, such as the one at Luby's, occurred before states began issuing permits for concealed handguns.)
In recent years, similar attacks have occurred across the world, including Australia, France, Germany and Britain. Do all these countries lack enough gun-control laws? Hardly. The reverse is more accurate.
The law-abiding, not criminals, are obeying the rules. Disarming the victims simply means that the killers have less to fear. As last week's attack demonstrated, police can't always be there: Unarmed students and faculty met the killer before police could arrive.
Most people understand guns deter criminals. If a killer were stalking your family, would you feel safer putting a sign out front announcing, "This Home is a Gun-Free Zone"? That is what schools do.
Unfortunately, public schools don't even have the same incentives as private companies to make the correct decisions on protecting student safety. For one, they are generally immune from liability. Parents can't sue the school for the death of their children. Nor can injured students sue.
Fears of permit-holders endangering safety are misplaced. Permit-holders have been extremely law-abiding and well-behaved. For example, before 1995, few K-12 schools had prohibitions on permit-holders having guns, and there is no evidence that there was ever a single problem.
Good intentions don't stop killers; people with guns do.

Just in time for the first home game, Mary Constantine has a simple recipe for a bones-free chicken wing dip.
No-Bones Chicken Wing Dip
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream (see note)
1 cup blue cheese salad dressing
1/2 cups prepared buffalo wing sauce (see note)
2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
1 (8 ounce) block provolone cheese, shredded (I substituted mozzarella cheese)
In large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sour cream, salad dressing and buffalo wing sauce until blended. Stir in cihcken and cheese. Transfer to 2 quart baking dish. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve warm with carrots, celery and crackers. Yield: 6 1/2 cups.
Note: If I made this dish again I would reduce the sour cream to 1 1/2 cups and increase the buffalo wing sauce to 1 cup. Do not substitute hot sauce for prepared buffalo wing sauce.

Shane Warne's fiancee Elizabeth Hurley accused of abusing reporter after Melbourne Stars' Big Bash loss
- PerthNow
- January 17, 2013
Liz Hurley has been accused of pushing and swearing a popular television sports reporter at Perth Airport on Thursday morning.
Media at the airport were interviewing Shane Warne in the wake of his Melbourne Star's thrilling loss to Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League on Wednesday night when Channel 10's Caty Price was shoved and told to "f*** off" by the movie star.
Price told 6PR Radio on Thursday morning that Ms Hurley "walked into the back of me" and said it was "rude to stand in front of people".
Price added: "I then asked her, 'Liz what did you think of the game last night?' and she spun around on her heels and said 'I think you should...' mouthed to me close up to my face, 'F*** off'.
"And then (she) done another spin and flick of the hair and strutted off with Shane."
Warne had endured a difficult night on the field, with the semi-final defeat compounded by the fact he was charged with an alleged breach of Cricket Australia's spirit of the game law.
Warne, who was already on a strike for a slow over-rate violation, wasn't officially listed as captain for the game, with paceman James Faulkner given the captaincy. It was Warne's second brush with officials this BBL competition following an ugly confrontation with Marlon Samuels.
The entire Hurley incident was captured on camera and Price said she had never had an issue with Ms Hurley in the past.
"We didn't approach her at all at the airport and normally I wouldn't have asked her anything except she sort of pushed us out of the way initially," Price said.
"I thought ... may as well throw a question at her.
"That wasn't what I was excepting this morning and probably not what I would have thought from an English lady."
A photographer told PerthNow that after the Scorchers had pulled off a thrilling last-ball victory over the Stars, Ms Hurley's security and entourage forced their way through a crowd of fans that were waiting outside the stadium behind the Lillee-Marsh Stand for autographs.

Plymouth's John Smith commended for 50 years as a Royal Navy diver
A GRANDFATHER-of-six who has dealt with bombs, bodies, bank heists and pirates has just been awarded a certificate to recognise his 50 years as a naval diver and instructor.
Sixty-nine-year-old John Smith, from Plympton, was recently given a surprise special commendation certificate from the Royal Navy to mark his time as a Navy diver.
Dad-of-four John has cleared mines, searched for bodies for the police, blown up dangerous old wrecks, been on anti-piracy duty and even recovered large sums of money from villains.
He said: "I joined the Navy in June 1960. One of my earlier ships was HMS Belfast, it was here that I started to visualise my career as a navy diver and on joining the Far East Fleet in 1962, I took my first step on the ladder and qualified as a Shallow Water Diver.

"It was the time of the conflict in Borneo and I spent nearly two years in the Far East visiting Japan, Hong Kong and many other exotic places. We had to search ship bottoms checking for terrorist explosives and carrying out ship maintenance."
By 1966 John was back from the Gulf, where he also served, and became a fully qualified naval clearance diver. Then it was back to sea for fishing protection and anti-terrorism duties aboard a mine hunter where he was called to deal with WW2 mines in the Thames and near Falmouth.
Back on land again John joined the Scottish and Northern Ireland dive team.
"We were involved in bomb and mine disposal, including Orkney and Shetland and we did a lot of work for the police, particularly searching for bodies because in the early 70s they did not have their own diving team," he said.
While a member of that team he worked on demolishing the remnants of HMS Natal, helped remove ammunition from the wreck of HMS Drake and also diffused a mine before it could become disentangled from a dredger – something he was later commended for.
By 1979 John was back in Plymouth as part of the bomb and mine disposal team for the South West. This included the Channel Islands, the south west coast around Devon and Cornwall and the west coast up as far as Cumbria.
John later became chief instructor for the joint services sport diving school in Plymouth, where he was awarded an MBE for his contribution to diving, and retired from the Royal Navy, after 41 years service as a Warrant Officer, in December 2000.
John said diving has given him "a fantastic life".
On leaving, he was presented with a lifetime achievement award from the diving organisation BSAC. He was asked to continue to contribute his expertise as a part-time instructor for the Combined Cadet Forces dive team, which he still continues to do, and for a time he also worked for the Diving Diseases Research Centre in Plymouth.
To mark his 50 years diving service John received his certificate from Commander Chris Baldwin, Superintendent of Diving for the Royal Navy.
He was presented the certificate as a surprise at the Bovisand Diving Centre after a leisure dive with friends.

Carbon Trust trial identifies potential to save 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 and save UK small businesses £300 million per year
New research published today by the Carbon Trust has identified that the use of advanced metering by small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) could save 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year – equivalent to the entire carbon footprint of Bristol - and also provide a net financial benefit to the UK economy.
Based on these findings, the Carbon Trust is calling for the installation of advanced meters in all small and medium sized businesses across the UK.
The Carbon Trust's trial – the largest in the UK to date - saw advanced meters installed at over 580 sites across the UK. Results show that by switching to advanced metering, on average SMEs can identify potential carbon savings of over 12 per cent and successfully achieve savings of over 5 per cent.
Cutting carbon also results in significant financial savings for SMEs. On average, the companies who took part in the trial saved over £1,000 a year on their energy bills. The largest financial benefits were seen by multi-site businesses, such as retail and wholesale chains, and for high energy users, such as small manufacturing companies. Widespread adoption of advanced metering across the UK would result in annual cost savings of £300 million for small businesses.
The take-up of advanced metering technology is currently hindered by the lack of financial incentives for energy suppliers to provide these services to SMEs, which is why the Carbon Trust is calling for action and new policy measures to accelerate the roll out of this technology.
Tom Delay, Chief Executive of the Carbon Trust, commented:
"Our trial has shown that advanced meters can help businesses save money and also deliver significant carbon savings for the UK at no extra cost to the economy. To harness this potential there needs to be a structured and sustainable roll out of this important technology to help the UK meet its commitment to cut carbon by 60% by 2050." He added, "Widespread use of advanced metering will also create new business opportunities for energy suppliers and metering service providers."
Advanced meters enable businesses to identify energy, cost and carbon savings by providing detailed information about the way they use their energy. Although well established in large companies they are not widely used by small businesses, which currently use over 2.7 million traditional energy meters. The energy consumption through these meters is worth around £6.5 billion per year and leads to emissions of over 50 million tonnes of CO2 per year. This is greater than the total annual emissions from all UK aviation.
Based on the new evidence from this study, the Carbon Trust is making the following recommendations:• Government should take action to ensure a widespread roll out of advanced metering technology to SME users• Government should work to ensure that appropriate standards are put in place regarding advanced meter functionality, data availability and data transfer procedures• Energy suppliers and metering service providers should investigate new business models to provide innovative metering services to their SME clients.• Trade bodies, the Carbon Trust and others should continue to promote the benefits of proactive use of advanced meters to the SME community
The aim of the advanced metering field trial was to demonstrate the potential benefits of the technology and understand whether there was a case for encouraging the widespread adoption of advanced metering by SMEs.

While ETRS89 is being promoted as Denmark's principal reference system, a number of other older systems remain in use. It is possible to do transformations between reference systems using applications developed by the Danish Geodata Agency .
Simple transformation Both public and private geodata users can access the Danish Geodata Agency's simple transformation tool. This tool is primarily used for transforming data from older reference systems to ETRS89 (reference system), DVR90 (height system) and UTM/ETRS89 (map projection). Click on 'Simple Transformation' to the right to access this tool (in Danish).
Complex transformation Transformation functions are generally built into GIS systems, but most come from the US market and are not equipped to handle transformations based on Danish reference systems.
The transformation library developed by the Danish Geodata Agency provides highly accurate transformation results for both planar and vertical reference systems.
KMSTrans: A graphical user interface for windows wrapping the transformation library. Transforms coordinates in 'interactive mode' as well as files in various formats - including ESRI-shapefiles. The link to the right points to a zip-file which should be unzipped to some location on your computer. Refer to the installation documentation in the unzipped folder.
KMSTrLib: The transformation library itself - for developers who wish to build their own software. The link refers to a zip-file which contains precompiled binaries for win32, win64 and bindings to python, java and C#. Refer to the documentation in the unzipped folder.
Geoids (important): Both products will need a compatible geoid library to run. This should also be downloaded and unzipped from the link to the right. Older geoid libraries are not compatible with the newest version of GeodatastyrelsenTrans and GeodatastyrelsenTrLib, so be sure to select the most recent version.

Clyburn a vocal leader for GB&I
NAIRN, Scotland – Holly Clyburn will walk away from the Curtis Cup with this distinction: She'll be the only GB&I player to see action in all five sessions.
Early week, it appeared the GB&I bench would be an equal opportunity one. Captain Tegwen Matthews sat each player for one match before Saturday afternoon's final fourball session. Charley Hull, the highest ranked player on the GB&I team at No. 5 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, got a second sit while Clyburn got to suit up. Sending Clyburn out seems a good decision from Matthews. So far this week, she's been the most vocal of the GB&I players.
"My job now is to make sure we get the right pairings this afternoon," Matthews said after her team took just one point out of morning foursomes. "We've been working hard on getting them right and I think we have."
Clyburn and fourball partner Kelly Tidy produced the first GB&I point Friday afternoon. It came not a minute too soon – the team needed a rebound after losing all three morning foursome matches.
After a morning rout at the hands of the Americans, the GB&I ...
Americans could learn a thing from Cornett
NAIRN, Scotland –- Despite frozen cheeks from an early-morning practice round at Nairn Golf Club, three assembled members of the U.S. Curtis Cup team paused at the question, "Has Coach Cornett told you much about her playing days?"
Glances are traded before answers follow.
"The next two days," Amy Anderson said. "I feel like she's going to talk about the first tee with us."
In other words, Pat Cornett is a coach who won't speak much about her own accolades, of which there are many. She has more than 50 starts in U.S. Golf Association championships, and eight of those were in the U.S. Women's Open. She was runner-up at the 1987 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur, and won the 1990 Women's Western Amateur.
"Their accomplishments probably far exceed what I was ever able to accomplish," Cornett said, in what could be described as a question dodged out of modesty. "But I think the thing that I tried to bring to them is, the conditions out here can change dramatically,"
Cornett, 56, has seen this competition before, too – from the other side. She was a member of the 1978 and '88 U.S. Curtis ...
Tait: Let kids play for free, watch the game grow
Want a radical solution to grow the game? Let children play for free.
It's time to own up to an unpleasant truth – golf is not growing in the western world. It's shrinking. That's why we should set the kids free.
There's never been a better time to join a golf club in the British Isles. There was a time, say, 15 years ago when clubs in my area to the north of London had long waiting lists. No more. Those same clubs are openly advertising for membership. Many have dispensed with joining fees. Yet many are struggling to attract new members.
Some clubs are even going to the wall. Lamerwood in Hertfordshire was a lovely course when it opened in 1996. I had the pleasure of playing there with Retief Goosen. Those were heady days, when clubs like Lamerwood had marketing money to spend on a future U.S. Open champion.
Drive past Lamerwood now and sheep graze on what used to be fairways. Only the discerning eye can pick out what were formerly tees, greens and bunkers. Lamerwood was one of many courses in this part of Hertfordshire looking for business that has long since ...
Jutanugarns among amateurs invited to Kraft
Thai sisters Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn will try to join the long line of talented teens who have made their mark at the Kraft Nabisco Championship as amateurs.
Ariya, 16, finished 25th last year in the LPGA's first major championship of the season. Moriya, 17, will be making her debut at the Rancho Mirage, Calif., event. They've accepted sponsor exemptions to play as amateurs along with Austin Ernst, Jaye Marie Green and Charley Hull at Mission Hills Country Club on March 29-April 1.
Moriya and Ariya are Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, in the Golfweek/amateurgolf.com Women's Player Rankings as well as the Golfweek/Sagarin Junior Rankings, though Ariya leads the way in the latter.
Ernst, a sophomore at LSU, is the reigning NCAA champion. She advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Women's Amateur and will represent the U.S. at the 2012 Curtis Cup. The 20-year-old from Seneca, S.C., will be making her Kraft debut.
Jaye Marie Green, 18, of Boca Raton, Fla., spent a brief time as Golfweek's No. 1-ranked amateur thanks to her victory at the 2011 South Atlantic Amateur. She helped lead the U.S. team to ...
Commentary: Tait: Taylor handles USGA error with class
Full marks to England's Lauren Taylor for the way she's handled the news that she has been kicked out of this year's U.S. Women's Open, but the USGA goes to the bottom of the class for a colossal screw-up.
Officials at the governing body should be deeply ashamed of themselves.
The U.S. Golf Association told Taylor at the beginning of this month that she was in this year's U.S. Women's Open after winning the Ladies' British Amateur Championship last year. Taylor made history when she won the championship at Royal Portrush. At 16, she was the youngest winner in championship history.
The USGA even put out a press release stating the English player was in the field. Then the governing body realized its error. Seems the USGA meant the exemption for this year's Ladies British Amateur champion, not last year's. They've now withdrawn Taylor's exemption.
"This unfortunate case is simply the result of a miscommunication of the exemption category as it was originally intended," said Joe Goode, the USGA's managing director of communications. "Certainly we discussed a number of solutions to this situation, including making good ...
When Cantlay turns pro, don't expect a tweet
In the middle of Patrick Cantlay's summer run that hoisted him into the headlines, a Twitter account popped up, purporting to belong to the amateur star. It seemed an uncharacteristic move by the quiet Cantlay. It was. The account was a fraud, and soon removed from the social-media site at the family's request.
Cantlay, unlike many college kids, has no interest in social media. "I just like doing my own thing," the UCLA sophomore said. "I'm fine if no one knows what I'm thinking or no one knows what I'm doing on Friday afternoon at 1:57."
There are plenty of people interested in Cantlay's inner-most thoughts, though. There's one question above all the rest that they'd love to have answered: When are you turning pro?
"I'm just worrying about this week and trying to play as best I can this week," said Cantlay, who is playing the Northern Trust Open on a sponsor exemption. "I'm an amateur this week."
Cantlay said his father, Steve, and instructor, Jamie Mulligan, have been handling the research required before a potential leap to the pro game.
When asked how the PGA Tour's ...

Injury-free Popson gets Curtis Cup nod
Erica Popson was not on my Curtis Cup radar. Why? Because she hasn't played in a USGA event since the 2008 U.S. Girls' Junior.
"I thought there was no way I was going to get picked because of that," Popson said.
Luckily for Popson, the USGA's International Selection Committee didn't hold that against her. She became the first player from the University of Tennessee to be named to a Curtis Cup team on the strength of an outstanding college resume. She won four times last season, including the SEC Championship and NCAA West Regional titles. She's currently No. 2 in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings. The trip to Scotland in June will be her first time outside the country.
So why the slim summer schedule?
Popson injured the thumb on her left hand two and a half years ago and realized quickly that she needed the time off in the summer to give it some rest. Doctors thought it was tendonitis or a joint problem that she'd have to learn to live with. Last fall, however, the pain grew worse and she found it difficult to perform basic daily functions like put on deodorant ...
First-round knockout: Family feud rattles Dixie Am
The Clyburn family's annual winter golf holiday to the U.S. took a bizarre turn last week at the Dixie Amateur.
According to a Coral Springs, Fla., police report, a fight broke out Dec. 30 between family members of two players during the first round of the women's tournament at Heron Bay Golf Club. No charges were filed, but reportedly fists flew and a driver was wielded as a weapon after a slow-play penalty led to a player's disqualification.
Tournament officials would not comment when contacted by Golfweek, and witnesses have been reluctant to speak. But based on the police report and interviews with the Clyburn family, here is the sequence of events:
India Clyburn, 15, was making her debut on the Florida Orange Blossom Circuit. Her older sister, Holly, 20, a Curtis Cup veteran and one of the United Kingdom's top players, also was entered in the Dixie.
India was paired with Lucia Polo of Guatemala and Vivian Gallin of Germany, and the younger Clyburn sister had her mother, Allison, on the bag.
According to India's father, Paul, the group was warned about slow play at the turn. By the time the threesome reached ...
An act of contrition for a troubled golfer
Making a call on a possible violation always has been at the heart of Pete Blaisdell's passion for being a top-echelon rules official.
Fielding a call about a violation is a different story.
"It shook me up. I wasn't sure how to react," Blaisdell said from his home in New Hampshire as he related an eerie telephone call he got, though it's one that might speak volumes to how sacred some see the Rules of Golf.
Listening to a woman who called his house Tuesday evening, Blaisdell was told that she was calling on behalf of her husband. The man wanted to speak to Blaisdell, but she warned that he was sick and heavily medicated. The man then got on the phone and said that he used to play in U.S. Golf Association qualifiers more than 10 years ago and he had an incident during a Public Links qualifier that required Blaisdell being called into a dispute on a putting green at Gardner (Mass.) Municipal Golf Course.
It seems a playing competitor had insisted that this man's golf ball had moved after the man had addressed it. The accused denied the ball had moved. One ...
After long journey, Harman at Q-School finals
LA QUINTA, Calif. – Q-School doesn't care about your amateur resume. It's all about numbers, not name recognition. Brian Harman learned that lesson the hard way.
Harman was the 2003 U.S. Junior champ and represented the United States at the 2005 and 2009 Walker Cups. He failed to advance out of Q-School's first stage in his first two attempts. Last year, he double-bogeyed his 70th hole to miss by a shot.
"That hurt pretty bad," he said. "It made me work a lot harder. I've been working my butt off, man, just trying to get better and better."
Harman made it to Q-School finals this year, and is in good position halfway through the week. He's tied for ninth at 9-under 207. A final-nine 29 Friday shot him up the leaderboard.
Harman added to his list of bad Q-School memories on his ninth hole Friday, hitting his approach into the water. He dropped his club in frustration, then watched it sink between two rocks lining the 18th fairway at PGA West's TPC Stadium Course (Harman teed off on No. 10).
"I have no business letting go of a golf club out there," Harman said ...
Scratch Players discontinued due to sked conflict
When the U.S. Amateur Championship moved its playing dates up one week beginning in 2012, some wondered whether this might have a domino effect on other tournaments normally played around that time.
The answer is, yes – at least in one case.
The Scratch Players Championship, usually held about a week earlier and at a site near the U.S. Amateur, is, well, scratched.
Considered by many as one of the world's leading amateur tournaments, the SPC will no longer be staged.
"With the U.S. Amateur henceforth moving up one week permanently, this squeezed the SPC out," said Fred Solomon, founder and head of the Scratch Players Group, which started, runs and operates the Scratch Players Championship. "If held, it would conflict with the Canadian Am, Cardinal Am and European Am annually.
"It would also follow the Porter Cup, then the Western Am, then the SPC right before the U.S. Am," Solomon said. "I just don't believe a top amateur is going to play four weeks straight, and the first event to skip among those four would be the SPC. I'm simply not interested in investing the enormous time to run a world-class event and ...
SGA revives Southern States Four-Ball for 2012
Most people, myself certainly included, don't remember the Southern States Four-Ball Championship. Simply put, it was before our time.
Still, there was a time when it was one of the country's premier amateur competitions.
And, it has some pretty impressive names in the world of golf to prove it. Charlie Yates, Harvie Ward, Fred Haas Jr. and Gardner Dickinson Jr., were among the winners and contenders when the event was played from 1939 through 1948 (with a break for World War II).
The heavy involvement from the great Bobby Jones hardly did anything but make it a "must play" for the country's top amateurs at the time.
Jones typically presented the winning trophy when the tournament took place six times at his home club of East Lake in Atlanta. It was also played once each at Birmingham (Ala.) Country Club and General Oglethorpe Golf Club in Savannah, Ga.
The unique trophy was a large plaque dedicated to Jones, with small replicas of the four trophies he won in his "grand slam" series in 1930.
Now, after more than a half century of dormancy, the Southern Golf Association is reviving the Southern States Four-Ball Championship. The ninth edition ...
Holtgrieve 'thrilled' to return as Walker Cup captain
At a news conference shortly after Great Britain & Ireland scored a 14-12 victory over the U.S. at this year's Walker Cup match at Royal Aberdeen (Scotland) Golf Club, American captain Jim Holtgrieve was asked to look to the future.
The question presented: Now that he's gone through his first Walker Cup, and presuming he again would be the captain at the 2013 matches, what has he learned and what might he do differently the next time around?
"I can't really comment on that until I get the official captaincy," he said at the time, referring to a decision would be up to the U.S. Golf Association. "It's been the history the last few years that both captains have got it here as well as over there (U.S.). I just hope I'll get the opportunity again, and then I'll start judging from there."
Holtgrieve will, in fact, have that opportunity. The USGA again named him captain of the American side, and again he will face off with GB&I captain Nigel Edwards when the 44th Walker Cup is staged Sept. 7-8 at National Golf Links of America in Southampton, N.Y.
Asian Am champ Matsuyama wins on Japan Tour
Hideki Matsuyama, the two-time Asian Amateur champion who impressed at this year's Masters, won the Japan Tour's Taiheiyo Masters on Sunday, becoming the third amateur to win on the Japan Tour.
Matsuyama, 19, eagled the par-5 18th to win by two shots over Toru Taniguchi, the 72nd-ranked player in the Official World Golf Ranking. Matsuyama finished at 13-under 203 (71-64-68).
"I didn't expect to win this tournament," Matsuyama told The Japan Times. "At the 18th hole, (final-group playing competitor Toru) Taniguchi-san set up an eagle chance, so I just tried to follow him with a shot of my own."
Masters champion Charl Schwartzel and Sang-Moon Bae, No. 27 in the OWGR, were among the players tied for third at 10-under par. Ryo Ishikawa, who'll join Schwartzel at this week's Presidents Cup in Australia, finished eighth. Another member of the International Presidents Cup team, Kyung-Tae Kim, finished 15th.
Matsuyama birdied Nos. 14 and 15 before eagling the final hole at Taiheiyo Club's Gotemba Course. The victory moved him to No. 196 in the Official World Golf Ranking. He entered the event ranked sixth in the R&A's World Amateur Golf Ranking. The World Amateur ...

School District Hires a Special Ed. Director ... Maybe
The school committee votes to hire the interim Director. Two school committee members not in attendance say they are disappointed a search was abandoned. A finalist for a job in Arlington, Marisa McCarthy has not decided if she will accept Attleboro's off
Interim Special Education Director Marisa McCarthy could have a long-term future in the Attleboro school district—if she wants it. The school committee voted 6-0 Wednesday to approve Superintendent Pia Durkin's request go grant McCarthy a three-year contract. However, McCarthy is one of two finalists for the same job in Arlington, and School Committee Chair Mike Tyler said she would not remove her name from consideration there.
The decision to appoint McCarthy was a sudden departure from the previous plan to do a full search and accept applications. A job notice appears online with a Feb. 25 application deadline. Tyler said he re-convened the search committee last week to determine if its members favored giving the job to McCarthy. He said the support from the committee was "overwhelming." Among those on the search committee is School Committee member Bill Larson.
"It was quickly evident through people's comments and the stories that they shared that there was such a high level of professionalism that [McCarthy] brought to the job, and also the passion she has for the job," said Larson at the meeting Wednesday night.
Although support on the search committee for McCarthy may have been "overwhelming" (Tyler declined to give an actual vote tally), it was not unanimous. School Committee member Barbara Craw, who did not attend the meeting Wednesday due to an illness, wrote in an email to Attleboro Patch that she opposed giving the job to McCarthy without doing a more thorough search.
"The process that was told to the public in regards to the special education director was not done," Craw wrote. "Ms. McCarthy could have applied and went through the proper process and then we all could state without any doubt that she was the best candidate for the position. Because a meeting behind closed doors was held and a decision was made only by a few chosen people, who were school committee members, [special education parent advisory council] members, teachers or administrators, it was not a fair and reasonable interview process."
Stressing she had no personal problem with McCarthy, Craw added, "I feel the school committee let down those who could not express their opinions and we should be ashamed for lying to the public and telling them on television and publicly that a fair and thorough interview process would be conducted for this position."
Fellow School Committee member Brenda Furtado, who said she was not in attendance Wednesday due to a family obligation, had a similar opinion, which she shared in an email to Patch.
"We again did not fully advertise this important position," she wrote. "We took the easy way out! We only had six or fewer applicants when we advertised for the interim position. We failed the district, in my opinion. This is not personal to Ms. McCarthy, but her resume did not have the experience that I feel is needed for a district of this size."
Several people who spoke at the meeting Wednesday did not share Furtado's opinion on whether McCarthy is the right person for the job. Thacher Elementary School principal Catherine Zinni and two parents were among those who spoke in favor of McCarthy.
"Marisa has brought a level of expertise that I have been looking for for my son," said Angela Ferreira, who has two children in the district's special education program.
School Committee member David Murphy said he believes a thorough search was done.
"A full search is defined by having a beginning and an end, and it ends when you find the right candidate," he said. "And it's not defined by a specific length of time. I think as evidenced by the support and the unanimous vote [by the school committee], this search ended when the right candidate was found."
Whether the search will need to continue is now up to McCarthy. She did not say at the meeting whether she would accept the Attleboro job. Tyler told Patch she had told him she would continue with the application process in Arlington.

What a surprise that both Brenda and Barbra have an issue with the vote. They are usually such independent thinkers on these types of issues.
12:00 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
I've heard great things about Marisa. The best advice I can give her, RUN!
If there is going to be this type of controversy about her appointment from the beginning, there'd be no way I'd stay.
12:56 pm on Thursday, February 14, 2013
Arlington is a fantastic community, with a supportive superintendent and school committee. It will welcome and appreciate a talented professional.

So you couldn't be there but felt it was OK to critique the decision made by rest of the committee, and please, when did the wonder twin sisters every worry about lying to the public....classic quote.....classic

It seems to that Brenda and Barbara are the only telling the truth as usual. A search hidden from the public eye, only Durkin supporters on the search committee? Sounds like Dirty back door politics (Durkin's specialty). This was one of the reasons the school committee did not renew Durkin's contract. She did not resign. They gave her the boot. Before Durkin leaves, she is trying to stick to us. There are so many special education parents who have horrible experiences with Ms. McCarthy. None of this was brought forward at the meeting last night. People sent emails to every school committee member not supporting McCarthy. Remember children are not getting services at Willett school. Why can't McCarthy get this in order? Thank you Brenda and Barbara for being honest and putting the truth out there. I thought people were sick of the hidden agenda with the last committee. I think we were fooled by Murphy, Larson and Tyler. You did not represent the public, you supported the Superintendent who is gone and doesn't care about our Special Education children. Time to vote you out and put in true representatives of all children. You certainly do not care about the Special Education children. You made that clear last night by just accepting McCarthy. I love how Murphy defined a search. How come this didn't hold true for the Superintendent search Mr. Murphy? How hypocritical.

J- I am only commenting on one part of your statement :
"Remember children are not getting services at Willett school. Why can't McCarthy get this in order?"
I have had 3 children go through the Willett School and the last one is currently in 4th grade. 2 of them required services while attending the school and received them and have absolutely flourished. We had to advocate for our children toreceive the needed services and it took effort on our part to make sure it got done, but that is ok, they are our children and no one else's responsibility but ours. So we did what we needed to do and in turn the school, Special Education Department and the District did their part as well.
As to the rest of your comment I have no comment, those are obviously your experiences and feelings, I was just sharing mine.
5:30 pm on Monday, February 18, 2013
So Ms Craw does not appreciate decisions made by a chosen few????Hmmmmmmm.
We'll come back to that comment in the future.
Ms. Craw, we can see right through your contrarian few points and motivation for them. Yes, another "gotcha Craw moment". How much support did you give this process? About as much as you did with the Superintendent Focus group process? Right you had Doctor's appointments scheduled during every single one of them. Here is your approach, you resort to accusing the committee of lying, but let's be clear who you are accusing. At least Ms Furtado cited a specific reason in her dissent. (district size). No, you resort to the verbal equivelant of street fighting and passive aggressive comments. Read your emails and listen to your explanations you provide when you "cry foul". It's no wonder the interest was/is light for the job and Marisa is keeping her options open. The customer in this particular case is the community,especially parents of special education students, they have spoken, thanks for your timely input...

"Roots" -- the comedy troupe?
Cast of "Roots" came back stage after their tribute moment on stage. The group of them -- John Amos, LeVar Burton, Louis Gossett, Jr., Cicely Tyson, Leslie Uggams and Ben Vereen -- genuinely looked they they were enjoying their reunion and they might have potential as a comedy troupe. Burton and Tyson got into a funny little dispute about whether "Roots" was in fact the first miniseries. And when Vereen lingered at the mike a little too long, Burton stepped behind him making motions of trying to pull him off stage. Of course there were queries about what "Roots" meant to this country, then and now. Gossett noted that there's a frightening lack of understanding of history among many young people in this country today.
"Some people in Atlanta don't even know about Martin Luther King Jr.," Gossett said. Burton concurred but also looked a bit into the near future.
"I think there's a direct connection between slavery and reconstruction of the south civil rights to 'Roots' in the '70s," Burton observed. "In 1977 it would have been unfathomable to think we might have a black president in the United States. Now that is really a possiblity...Progress is two steps forward. Tempest fugit. Time always moves."
Meanwhile, in a quick "what'er you doing now," interesting tidbits came from Gossett -- who said he's heading back to Broadway to do "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with Phylicia Rashad, with Debbie Allen directing -- and Vereen, who said he's just wrapped a seg of "Grey's Anatomy."

Alleged assault with poker leads to felony charge for Oak Harbor man
By JESSIE STENSLAND
Whidbey News Times Assistant editor
October 30, 2012 · Updated 2:39 PM
A 57-year-old Oak Harbor man is facing a felony charge for allegedly beating his stepson with a fireplace poker, court documents allege.
Prosecutors charged Samuel D. Howard in Island County Superior Court Oct. 15 with assault in the second degree, a domestic violence charge.
On Oct. 10, a 27-year-old man reported that his stepfather, Howard, had repeatedly struck him in the hands, forearm and leg with the "sharp end" of a fireplace poker, court records state. The man said he got into an argument with Howard just prior to the assault.
An Oak Harbor police officer noted that the man had a large cut on his knuckle area and a hole in his pants leg. The man had to undergo surgery to repair a broken finger.
Williams, however, claimed he did not assault the man and conjectured that he may have showed up at his house with the injuries. Williams said he kicked the man out of the house after he went crazy and tipped over the coffee table and threw the fireplace poker, the report states.
If convicted of the charge, Howard could face up to a year and two months in prison under the standard sentencing range.

St. Paul's Church (Diu)
Image Credit : Ghostface Buddha
The St. Paul's Church, It is located within the Diu Fort, which came under the control of the Portuguese colonists in early 16th century.Diu is located on the western coast away from the Gulf of Cambay. Graced with limestone cliffs, stony coves and sandy beaches,Set off the Saurashtra coast of Gujarat adjoining Junagadh district,Diu is an out and out fun place to be at. It has different types of the tourist attractions too of which holy places in Diu shine brighter and pull major tourist attention. it is an ideal gateway to bask in glistening sand beaches, thick palm-groves and historical monuments.Untouched of the commercial intervention and environmental deterioration.
Diu is a Portuguese colony like Goa. The most famous of the religious places is St Paul's Church in Diu. The St Paul's Church in Diu is around 400 year old church. It was constructed in the year 1691. It is dedicated to our Lady of Immaculate Conception.The St. Paul's Church, named after St. Paul, the Apostle of Jesus also known as the Apostle to the Gentiles, is most renowned, surviving and functioning church, among the three churches built by the Portuguese in Diu. It is considered one of the best examples of baroque architecture (artistic style) in India.It is inferred that the Indian silversmiths known for their exquisite workmanship have influenced the decor in the facade. This has been attributed to a fact that the Jesuits in India could not find native artists who could recreate the original Jesuit architectural designs.
Image Credit : Ghostface Buddha
Diu St Paul's Church is said to be the only active church in the region till date. It boasts of intricate volutes and shell that form an impressive motif. Its richly done wood carving which has earned a special recognition among the most elaborate Portuguese churches is the real feast for eyes.Everything about this church is very magnificent the motifs formed of volutes and shell and Gothic features.On a close look at this church you will find that it has resemblance with Bom Jesus Church at Goa on the virtue of architectural patterns. It exhibits strong similarity but with better workmanship and design than the Bom Jesus Basilica at Goa built in 1605 AD, which was also built by the Portuguese during their colonial rule of the territory.
It is the largest and the only functioning church in Diu catering to the small Christian community of about 450 Christians who remain after the Diu territory merged with the Indian Union when it was freed from Portuguese colonial rule on December 11, 1961.
In St. Paul's Church it is said that music began to be used in churches in India even though it was not an accepted practice among the Jesuits who came to India.
There are no railway lines within Diu but It is well connected by roads with rest of the country.The church is easily accessible from the main land from the Portuguese village of Ghoghla in the east or from Veraval or Somnath in the west.Also The road distances to other places in Gujarat are 150 kilometres (93 mi) to Sasangir and 220 kilometres (140 mi) to Bhavnagar.
