LONDON — A man died and ten people were injured after a van was rammed into a crowd of worshipers near a mosque in north London, in what police are treating as a terrorist attack.
Eyewitnesses reported chaotic scenes as the incident unfolded just after midnight, when worshipers had finished evening Ramadan prayers.
A 48-year-old man was wrestled to the ground by members of the public and then arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder, London's Metropolitan police said.
"This is being treated as a terrorist attack and the Counter-Terrorism Command is investigating," said Neil Basu, senior national coordinator for terrorism at the Met. All the victims were Muslim, he said.
Latest developments
— Police say they believe there was only one man in the van.
— An imam stopped the crowd from hitting and kicking the attacker.
— Witnesses saw a man underneath the van.
— Eight people were hospitalized, all Muslim.
— Van appears to be a hire vehicle from a company in Wales.
The van rammed into the worshipers on Seven Sisters Road, a busy thoroughfare in Finsbury Park, north London, near a Muslim community center and a mosque.
Basu confirmed witness accounts that the man found dead at the scene was already receiving first aid when the attack happened, adding it was unclear whether he died as a result of the attack. Eight other people were taken to hospital, two of whom were seriously injured, he said. Two people were treated at the scene.
Muslim Welfare House CEO Toufik Kacimi said the attacker shouted "I did my bit, you deserve it." An imam prevented people from taking revenge on the man, he said.
Police believed that the attacker acted alone, despite earlier reports from witnesses, who had said they saw two other people flee the scene.
Prime Minister Theresa May will chair an emergency meeting on Monday morning. "All my thoughts are with the victims, their families and the emergency services on the scene," she said.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan called the incident a "horrific terror attack." "We don't yet know the full details, but this was clearly a deliberate attack on innocent Londoners, many of whom were finishing prayers during the holy month of Ramadan," Khan said.
The assault comes on the heels of another attack at London Bridge, in which three men rammed a van into pedestrians and went on a stabbing spree at nearby bars and restaurants, killing eight people. Monday's attack is the third in London since March involving a vehicle as a weapon against pedestrians.
Emotions are high in the UK in the wake of a series of deadly terrorist attacks and a fire at a London apartment building that killed dozens. Basu said it was a "challenging" time for London and that the emergency services were stretched.
What happened
Witnesses told CNN they saw a van driving at high speed along Seven Sisters Road after worshipers had attended late-night prayers at the Finsbury Park Mosque.
Abdikadir Warfa said the van turned into an alleyway and hit a number of people before coming to a stop. Images from the scene show a white van wedged against a traffic barrier at the dead end of a street.
"I saw a man, he was underneath the van," Warfa said, who described how his friends tried to lift the van to free him.
He said as he attended the injured, others grappled with the driver as he tried to run away.
Ratib Al-Sulaman was sitting two minutes away when the incident occurred.
"Some big van … crushing the people in the mosque. So we just run straight away, I see police, ambulance, people lying on the floor, and a van as well," said Sulaman.
Both Warfa and Sulaman said there were three people originally in the van, and that two had run away. Police say they are investigating these reports but believe that only one person carried out the attack.
Saeed Hashi described how he fought with the driver, and how he and two others held him to the ground for 10 minutes as they waited for police to arrive.
"He punched me in the head," Hashi said, showing his bruises.
Mohammed Abdul said: "I saw something that was horrendous, something we should not see the in the 21st Century, something we should not see in the last 10 days of Ramadan."
Police have not named the man arrested, but the van bears the logo and phone number for Pontyclun Van Hire in south Wales. CNN spoke to a man at the company, who said he was the owner but declined to give his name. He said police had instructed him not to speak to the media.
Warnings of anti-Islamic attacks
A statement released by the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) condemned what it described as a "terror attack."
"During the night, ordinary British citizens were set upon while they were going about their lives, completing their night worship. My prayers are with the victims and their families," read the statement.
Tell MAMA, an anti-Islamophobia group, had visited Muslim Welfare House on Friday last week to inform the community about the need to report anti-Muslim hate incidents and to consider their safety during Ramadan.
"Ramadan is a time when Muslims are more visible and when there are larger congregations who attend late at night to pray after opening their fasts. Mosque safety needs to be stepped up and this includes entry and exit points," it said in a statement.
Finsbury Park, in the London Borough of Islington, is a bustling, diverse area of north London with a strong Muslim community.
On May 22, a suicide attack killed 22 people and injured nearly 60 after an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. The attacker was motivated by Islamist extremism, police said.
The London Bridge attack was on June 3. That attack also appeared inspired by Islamist extremism.
The head of Tell MAMA, Fiyaz Mughal, warned of reprisal attacks against Muslims following major Islamist terrorist incidents.
"We saw that very clearly after Manchester, a very high peak. We saw that clearly after London Bridge," he said.

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This build is more of a team centric build. you will really need good communication with your team for this to work to its fullest. The big points of this build are, good item progression, no jumping to huge items early on. just a consistant damage curve. the other big point is to help with the ganks. i focused a little more on attack speed early on to pair with your ice arrows, also earlier usage of the hawkshot, which first will help your income and second keep an eye out for MIAs.
As a testament to this build. Myself and a shaco won in a 2v3 bout while i used this build.

Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Faculty of Arts
At Nottingham I teach and research in a number of areas relating to Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, including the introduction to the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament for first year students and upper level modules on Hebrew Bible/Old Testament ethics and on prophets and prophecy, as well as Hebrew language and exegesis. More information about these modules may be found via the Teaching and Learning tab above.
A native Californian, I did my first degree at Scripps College in Claremont, Ca., focusing mainly on twentieth century theology and ethics, then moved to Oxford to pursue ethics in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament under the supervision of John Barton. Before coming to Nottingham I held research fellowships at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge and Keble College, Oxford; more recently, my work has been supported by visiting scholarships at St John's College, Oxford and the Gladstone Library in Wales, as well as by the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung/Foundation. I will spend 2018 in Cambridge as the S.A. Cook Bye-Fellow at Gonville and Caius College.
I will be on research leave during spring and autumn semesters in 2018, but will continue to supervise research students. More information for prospective postgraduates may be found on the Postgraduate Study tab above.
My research focuses on the intersection of theology, ethics, and community identities, with a historical focus on the social and intellectual world of ancient Israel and a contemporary interest in the relevance of this work for twenty-first century ethics. I am especially interested in integrating insights from other disciplines, such as anthropology, refugee studies, and postcolonial theory, into biblical studies. This has, thus far, led to monographs examining the intersection between creation theology and ethics in the conduct of war (War and Ethics), the social context of Deuteronomy's distinctively Israelite ethics (The Making of Israel), and the relationship between Deuteronomy's emphasis on exclusive loyalty to Yhwh and Assyrian loyalty oaths (Israel and the Assyrians). My current project is aimed at understanding the multiple names by which the biblical texts refer to the people of God, focusing in the first instance on how the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians affected what it meant to be 'Israel' and 'Judah'. I also have interests in Genesis, the Psalms, and the prophets.
I also direct the Centre for Bible, Ethics and Theology, which aims to bring together biblical and historical scholars with systematic and philosophical theologians to address contemporary issues in theology and religious studies. We have a regular programme of workshops and events bringing together scholars and members of the public, including most recently a day conference on forced migration and the book of Jeremiah.

I am interested in supervising postgraduate research into most aspects of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament; my particular specialties include ethics in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament; issues pertaining to warfare; the histories of Israel and Judah; ethnic and nationalist identities; prophecy and the prophetic books; and the book of Deuteronomy.
Current students work on a diverse range of subjects, including the ethics of nakedness in the Old Testament; biblical attitudes to the stranger, the foreigner, and the refugee; religious and political polemic in ancient Israel; narrative in the Song of Songs; divine emotion in the Twelve; and the conceptualisation of colour in the ancient world.. This year they have had articles accepted in Journal of Theological Studies, Vetus Testamentum, and Journal of Biblical Literature; multiple successes in the AHRC funding scheme; and delivered conference papers at the Annual and International Meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature.
For information about funding, see below.
Research areas in which proposals are particularly welcome:
Ethics in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament: This research area focuses on ethical norms in ancient Israel and Judah, the comparative study of these norms in their ancient Near Eastern context, and efforts to relate this historical work to contemporary ethical issues. Possible PhD topics include research into sexuality; violence at the state, community or family level; concepts of social justice; ethics in one or more of the prophetic books; the intersection between law and ethics; or the social function of ethics in particular historical contexts.
Prophecy and the Prophetic Books: The prophetic texts constitute one of the most intriguing and most fruitful areas of research in the biblical canon. Research in the prophetic books might take the form of redactional studies of particular books; literary analyses of certain books or passages; historical discussions taking the prophetic texts as a starting point; or thematic studies addressing particular theological topics (e.g., sin and punishment, ethics, attitudes toward cult, social justice, social context of prophet and/or audience).
Deuteronomy: Situated at the intersection of Pentateuch and the (so-called) Deuteronomistic History and the source for much of the theology of the biblical literature, Deuteronomy has a critical place in biblical research. Research on Deuteronomy might include thematic, literary, redactional or historical topics. Proposals on topics in ethics are particularly welcome.
History of Israel and Judah: The history and historiography of Israel and Judah, via both the Hebrew Bible and extra-biblical evidence, continues to be a major research subject in biblical studies. PhD topics in this area could cover any aspect of the history of Israel and Judah from the pre-monarchic to post-exilic periods, focusing on specific individuals, groups, events or books.
Warfare in the Hebrew Bible and Ancient Near East: This research area addresses the norms, practices and consequences of warfare in Israel and Judah, the Hebrew Bible and the ancient Near East. Research topics in this area might include the study of warfare in particular biblical books; reconstructions of military practices in Israel and Judah on the basis of biblical texts and archaeological evidence; analysis of interaction and influence among ancient Near Eastern militaries; or examination of the ideological, theological or ethical aspects of warfare.
Information about fees and funding for both UK/EU and international students in Theology and Religious Studies is available here. Prospective students in Hebrew Bible may particularly wish to attend to the Memorial Scholarship, which is available for students working at masters or doctoral level in Hebrew Bible.
Information about alternative sources of funding may be found here.
AHRC Midlands3Cities funding for UK/EU students The Midlands3Cities doctoral training partnership is a collaboration between the universities of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent, Leicester, De Montfort, Birmingham and Birmingham City. The DTP will be in the fifth of five years in the next competition, awarding Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) studentships for UK/EU applicants for 2017 entry. M3C provides research candidates with cross-institutional mentoring, expert supervision (including cross-institutional supervision where appropriate), subject-specific and generic training, and professional support in preparing for a career.
The deadline for AHRC M3C funding applications will be in mid-January 2018, by which time students must have applied for a place to study and have provided two references to a university within the DTP. Applicants are strongly advised to be in contact with the prospective supervisor(s) at an early stage of the process for advice and support. For full details of eligibility, funding and research supervision areas (including use of the supervision search tool) please visit www.midlands3cities.ac.uk or contact email@example.com
Information and proposal-writing workshops will be hosted in each of the three partner cities.

Gavin Fernandes
Tarah Van De Wiele
Ellena Hill
I teach across a range of subjects in Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, from the History, Literature and Theology of the Hebrew Bible module for first year undergraduates to specialist subjects for second and third year undergraduates and taught masters students. I also teach Biblical Hebrew. More information about each of these modules may be found below.
I am interested in supervising postgraduate research into most aspects of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament; my particular specialties include ethics in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament; issues pertaining to warfare; the histories of Israel and Judah; ethnic identity formation; prophecy and the prophetic books; and the book of Deuteronomy.
I will be on research leave during spring and autumn semesters in 2018, but will continue to supervise postgraduate research students.

PhD Supervision
For more information about doctoral supervision, see the Postgraduate Study tab.
Building on my work in The Making of Israel, my current research concerns the relationship between Israel and Judah, trying to understand the way that the biblical texts speak to and about these two entities. My long-term goal is to improve our understanding of the nature, origins, and history of Israel and Judah, and to do this by approaching the biblical and extra-biblical texts through an interdisciplinary lens: integrating textual analysis and archaeological data with social-scientific research on the construction and development of identity narratives in response to social and political change.
At present this work is focussed on the effect of the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians on Israelite and Judahite identities. My attention has been on the books of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, and on bringing in insights from the social sciences to understand the ways that they understand Israel and Judah. Current research on forced migration, including the impact of migration on narratives about the past and on relationships to the homeland, has proved enormously helpful, as have analyses of imperial domination and its effect on native identities, including the amalgamation of disparate socio-economic classes and the invocation (or invention) of unifying traditions in the face of colonial power. An essay stemming from this work recently won the David Noel Freedman Award from the Society of Biblical Literature.
The first stage of this project was funded by the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung/Foundation, thanks to which I was able to spend eight months as a visiting research fellow at the University of Göttingen conducting a close study of Jeremiah, testing and refining my methodology. (In the process I also wrote An Introduction to the Study of Jeremiah, which appeared with Bloomsbury this year.) Recent visiting scholarships at St John's College, Oxford and the Gladstone Library have allowed me to extend the investigation into Ezekiel. I will spend 2018 working on the project in Cambridge, as the S.A. Cook Bye-Fellow at Gonville and Caius College.
My doctoral work comprised an analysis of military ethics in ancient Israel and Assyria, concluding that war violence was justified via literary allusions to a creation myth in which the divine king defeated the waters of chaos in battle (War and Ethics in the Ancient Near East). This takes us beyond accusations of gratuitous Assyrian cruelty and the vague language of biblical 'holy war' and identifies the key paradigm which drove ancient military violence, allowing a nuanced understanding of the ethics of ancient warfare. I have taken up the implications of the exilic experience on this military theology in a series of articles focusing on prophetic material in Ezekiel and Deutero-Isaiah. For more about this work, see here.
My interest in the historical and theological context of ethical mandates led to The Making of Israel: Cultural Diversity in the Southern Levant and the Formation of Ethnic Identity in Deuteronomy (Brill, 2014), which focusses on the relationship between ethics, ethnic identity and theology. In this book I argue that the southern Levant during the seventh century BCE was a formative period for Israelite ethnic identity,
challenging the tendency to date biblical texts with identity concerns to the exilic and post-exilic periods, or to limit pre-exilic identity concerns to nationalistic fervour under Josiah. The argument analyses the archaeological material from the southern Levant during Iron Age II, then draws on anthropological research to argue for an ethnic response to the economic, political and cultural change of this period. The volume concludes with an investigation into identity issues in Deuteronomy, highlighting centralisation and exclusive Yahwism as part of the deuteronomic formulation of Israelite ethnic identity.
In the midst of my work on Israelite ethnic identity and the book of Deuteronomy, I had cause to reflect on the widely accepted theory that Deuteronomy, especially in chapters 13 and 28, is a subversive literary reception of the Succession Treaty of Esarhaddon. In Israel and the Assyrians: Deuteronomy, the Succession Treaty of Esarhaddon, and the Nature of Subversion (Society of Biblical Literature, 2014) I challenged this theory, arguing that the evidence for such a relationship between Deuteronomy and the Succession Treaty is wholly inadequate. I also rejected the suggestion that Deuteronomy is a subversive appropriation of more general Assyrian concepts of political loyalty. To achieve this I drew on theories of adaptation and allusion, providing the theoretical foundation for a discussion of subversion and its detection and staking my claim in one of the most contentious areas of the discipline. The argument undermines a major touchstone for the pre-exilic dating of Deuteronomy as well as problematising the Israelites' relationship with the Assyrian empire more widely. For more on how I reached these conclusions, see here.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - ASML <ASML.AS>, the world's biggest supplier of computer chip-making equipment, has named finance chief Peter Wennink as CEO, and pledged to stick to its strategy to develop technology used to make the next generations of smartphones and tablets.
Wennink, a 55-year-old Dutchman who has been chief financial officer since 1999, will succeed Eric Meurice, a 56-year-old Frenchman and former Dell Computer executive, as CEO in July. Meurice will become chairman and advisor to the new management.
In the past year, Meurice and Wennink have pulled off two significant deals that brought funding and expertise for ASML's research and development of the next generation of equipment.
"We have a clear roadmap of what to do. We're not going to make significant changes to the strategy and the roadmap of the company," Wennink said in a video interview coinciding with the release of better-than-expected quarterly results on Wednesday.
ASML, considered a barometer for the tech sector, forecast a recovery in sales to around $1.44 billion as demand for hot consumer gadgets, such as smartphones and tablet computers, grows at the expense of heavier laptop computers.
As expected, ASML also announced a new share buy-back program of up to 1 billion euros, equivalent to about 5 percent of its stock market value.
Shares in the company, which competes with Japanese groups Canon <7751.T> and Nikon <7731.T>, surged as much as 9 percent to the highest level since early March.
The appointment of Wennink as CEO was expected, analysts said, and showed the firm would continue to focus on its existing strategy and deliver strong returns to investors.
"This was the most likely scenario," said Pierre Ferragu, analyst at Bernstein Research.
"He (Wennink) has helped put them in the position they are in today. He has helped design a company that controls costs extremely well and outspent competitors on R&D as a result. This makes me confident investors will share in the benefits of strong returns going forward."
The quest to produce ever smaller, more efficient, more powerful chips pushed ASML into two deals last year.
It agreed to buy Cymer Inc <CYMI.O>, a supplier of lithography light sources used to make chips, in order to speed up the development of a new manufacturing technique which uses EUV, or extreme ultraviolet light, to produce smaller chips.
It also won funding from three big customers - Intel Corp <INTC.O>, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing <2330.TW> and Samsung Electronics <00593.KS> - for the research and development of EUV technology and of equipment for making larger wafers.
The production of wafers with a 450 mm diameter, compared with 300 mm now, allows more chips per wafer to be cut and will help reduce costs by as much as 30-40 percent.
Fast-tracking the development of such technology not only cements ASML's position as the market leader ahead of Nikon, but is also expected to significantly reduce production costs.
ASML reported better-than-expected first-quarter net profit of 96 million euros on sales of 892 billion euros, but the quarterly revenue figure was the lowest in three years.
Personal computer sales plunged 14 percent in the first three months of the year, the biggest decline in two decades of keeping records, as tablets continue to gain in popularity.
IT research firm Gartner, Inc said earlier this month it expects worldwide shipments of personal computers, tablets and mobile phones to rise 9 percent this year as strong growth in smartphones and tablet devices more than offsets an expected decline in PCs.

Grand Island Fire Co.
As a result of severe blizzard conditions that caused Niagara River ice jams, Grand Island residents encountered shoreline damage in the vicinity of 4300 East River Road. Although docks and boat houses sustained the most damage, residential properties in low-lying areas were also at risk.
In addition, the Grand Island Water Department reported several water line breaks on Jan. 7, which occurred due to sub-freezing temperatures that caused pressure fluctuations in aging underground pipelines. Breaks were being repaired on Whitehaven Road between First and Second streets, Stony Point and Riverdale road, 2626 Stony Point Road, Elsie Lane, and Fix Road, and were expected to be completed on Jan. 8. The Grand Island Fire Co. was alerted to this situation, but no major fire emergencies occurred in those areas. A fire alarm at 7:23 p.m. on Jan. 7 involved an apartment at 2231 Bedell Road, but was caused by a faulty detector.
Fire Chief Matt Osinski also reminds residents and business owners to "adopt" a hydrant nearby so that it is clear of snow and accessible to your volunteers for a ready water supply during a real fire emergency.

By Lance Hanlin
Three hours, 48 minutes.
That's how long it took professional golfers Carl Pettersson and Colt Knost to play a round at Harbour Town Golf Links last year.
"Pretty good … for a couple of fat guys," Pettersson joked.
For the record, the PGA Tour media guide underrates Pettersson at 5-foot-11, 195 pounds. Knost is listed at 5-foot-9, 215 pounds.
Neither is considered morbidly obese compared to the general public. When compared to many of their athletic rivals on the PGA Tour though, both Pettersson and Knost could have seats reserved at the Klump family dinner table.
After winning the 2012 RBC Heritage by five strokes, Pettersson kept the self-deprecating humor rolling by channeling his inner Chris Farley while slipping on the tartan jacket.
"Fat guy in a little coat, huh," he said.
Pettersson's comfortable win proved once again you don't have to be in great shape to play great golf.
"Ultimately it's a hand-eye coordination sport," Pettersson said. "Just because you don't look like an athlete doesn't mean you're not an athlete. We're not running marathons here, we're just walking 18 holes."
The leaderboard proved his point.
Knost was in contention all weekend and wound up in third place. Veterans Billy Mayfair (5-9, 195) and Kevin Stadler (5-10, 250) tied for fourth. Two-time winner Boo Weekley (6-0, 210) tied for sixth. All of those guys have a little extra padding around the midsection.
Pettersson will eye another big finish April 18-21 when the 45th annual RBC Heritage returns to Hilton Head Island. He is one of seven past champions who made an early commitment to play in South Carolina's only PGA Tour stop.
Here is a look at the seven winners returning.
Name: Carl Pettersson
Nicknames: Redneck Swede
Born: Aug. 29, 1977 (age 35)
Height/weight: 5-11, 195
Nationality: Sweeden
Residence: Raleigh, N.C.
College: North Carolina State University
Turned professional: 2000
PGA Tour wins: 5
Majors won: None
Heritage appearances: 10
Heritage wins: 2012 (270)
On Harbour Town Golf Links: "I like all the holes. I don't have one hole on the front nine where I feel awkward over the tee shot or second shot. The back nine I've got a few holes, 10, I'm scared to go left. And 14 is a tough tee shot, the par 3. It's fun to play. You have to hit shots. Even if you hit it into the trees, if you can move it right to left, left to right, you can usually get it on the green or close to the green. It's a shotmaker's golf course."
Fun fact: By working out and improving his diet, Pettersson lost 30 pounds prior to the 2009 season. After the slimmed-down Swede missed 12 cuts and dropped to 154th on the points list, he decided to put the weight back on. His diet? "Ten beers and a tub of ice cream before bed," he joked. With five PGA Tour wins, he is tied with Jesper Parnevik for most victories by a Swedish player.
Name: Brandt Snedeker
Nicknames: Sneds
Born: Dec. 8, 1980 (age 32)
Height/weight: 6-1, 185
Nationality: United States
Residence: Nashville, Tenn.
College: Vanderbilt University
Turned professional: 2004
PGA Tour wins: 4
Majors won: None
Heritage appearances: 7
Heritage wins: 2011 (272)
On Harbour Town Golf Links: "It's cool to go to a golf course that's really old school. This is an old traditional golf course, not real long. We don't see it very often. When you've got something good, you don't have to mess with it. I think it stands the test of time. The winning scores have been about the same for the last 35 years. The technology has changed a whole lot, so it shows you what kind of golf course it is."
Fun fact: Snedeker won the 2012 FedEx Cup, earning a check for $11.4 million. He compared the big payday to hitting the lottery. Despite the extra cash, he still drives the same GMC Denali he has for years (with a broken door handle) and still lives a mile from where he grew up in Nashville. He was PGA Tour Rookie of the Year in 2007. His big brother, Haymes, won Big Break X: Michigan.
Name: Jim Furyk
Nicknames: The Grinder, The Businessman
Born: May 12, 1970 (age 42)
Height/weight: 6-2, 185
Nationality: United States
Residence: Pointe Vedra Beach, Fla.
College: University of Arizona
Turned professional: 1992
PGA Tour wins: 16
Majors won: 2003 U.S. Open
Heritage appearances: 14
Heritage wins: 2010 (271)
On Harbour Town Golf Links: "You have to be able to control the golf ball. You have to hit high shots, low shots, curve it right to left, left to right. If you don't have control of the golf ball you're going to struggle at this golf course. You're not going to skank it around for very long, and eventually you're going to be in trouble. It's about hitting fairways, but a lot of times it's about hitting the proper side of the fairway."
Fun fact: Furyk's trademark looping golf swing begins with a setup that has the ball at the heel of the club instead of the center, or even the toe. This moves his 6-foot-2 frame in so close that his hands are virtually touching his thighs. Commentator David Feherty memorably described Furyk's swing as "an octopus falling out of a tree."
Name: Thomas Weekley
Nicknames: Boo
Born: July 23, 1973 (age 39)
Height/weight: 6-0, 210
Nationality: United States
Residence: Jay, Fla.
College: Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
Turned professional: 1997
PGA Tour wins: 2
Majors won: None
Heritage appearances: 6
Heritage wins: 2007 (270), 2008 (269)
On Harbour Town Golf Links: "This golf course just suits me It's very, very, very similar to what I grew up playing, having to hit it a certain distance off the tee, and having to shape your shots around the greens. When you stand on the tee box you can envision every shot. If I block it right or pull it left, I still feel like I've got a shot somewhere in my bag that I can get it up and down to make par."
Fun fact: Weekley is best known in golf for riding his driver cowboy horse style in the 2008 Ryder Cup. He claims he fought an orangutan when he was 16 at the county fair (the ape knocked him unconscious with the bout's first punch). In 2008, airport security found shotgun shells mistakenly left in his carry-on bag following a hunting trip. The most embarrassing part for Boo? The strip search.
Name: Stewart Cink
Nicknames: Big League Stew, Kitchen, 50 Cink
Born: May 21, 1973 (age 39)
Height/weight: 6-4, 205
Nationality: United States
Residence: Duluth, Ga.
College: Georgia Tech
Turned professional: 1995
PGA Tour wins: 6
Majors won: 2009 British Open
Heritage appearances: 13
Heritage wins: 2000 (270), 2004 (274)
On Harbour Town Golf Links: "I think what this course does is it puts people into two camps psychologically: You either get into the camp where you feel like you're in jail because of the trees and how close everything is and the small greens or you feel like your goal is well defined by a smaller target. I think I go in the second camp, so I just feel at ease."
Fun fact: On the Late Show with David Letterman, Cink joked instead of "fore" he often yells, "hit the deck losers." He also claimed he can fit seven golf balls in his mouth. His passion off the course? Barbecuing. He has perfected a few recipes and often shares on his Twitter account.
Name: Justin Leonard
Nicknames: Jasper
Born: June 15, 1972 (age 40)
Height/weight: 5-9, 170
Nationality: United States
Residence: Dallas, Texas
College: University of Texas
Turned professional: 1994
PGA Tour wins: 12
Majors won: 1997 British Open
Heritage appearances: 15
Heritage wins: 2002 (270)
On Harbour Town Golf Links: "Well, I've always loved the golf course but I really didn't play very well there. I never could really figure out why and still haven't, why I struggled there early in my career. But I love playing the golf course. I've had a little bit of success since '02. Anytime you've had success, especially when you've won, it's fun to come back and relive some of those shots and feelings."
Fun fact: According to his wife, Leonard is deathly afraid of oceans and lakes. When he is home, he makes a juice of carrot, apple, lemon and kale each morning for breakfast and doesn't eat solid food until lunch. He once hand-washed a courtesy car because he thought it was too dirty.
Name: Glen Day
Nicknames: All Day
Born: Nov. 16, 1965 (age 47)
Height/weight: 5-10, 170
Nationality: United States
Residence: Little Rock, Ark.
College: University of Oklahoma
Turned professional: 1988
PGA Tour wins: 1
Majors won: None
Heritage appearances: 19
Heritage wins: 1999 (274)
On the Heritage: "The list of players that have won here are very good players and it is extremely nice to see my name amongst that list."
Fun fact: Day was the last player penalized a stroke for slow play on the PGA Tour. It happened in the 1995 Honda Classic, where it took more than four hours to complete his third round. Four years later, he defeated Payne Stewart in a playoff to win the MCI Classic. He was the first golfer to win a professional tournament using a Nike golf ball.
Four international PGA Tour professionals are also scheduled to play in the 45th RBC Heritage. KJ Choi, Martin Kaymer, Graeme McDowell and Rory Sabbatini are all seeking their first tartan jacket. The rest of the 144-player field is expected to be announced by the end of the month.

Humble prostration unto the lotus feet of all the seers of this universe to bless us!
Know About Us
Sanatana Yog Sandesh, by the grace of the highest truth and under the sound guidance of Rohit Kumar, a devoted Yogabhyasi (Yoga Practitioner) is the bearer of the ancient wisdom "Yoga". The word "Sanatana" implies continuity and eternity whereas "Sandesh" connotes message therefore Yoga at Sanatana Yog Sandesh is, exactly as it was and as it shall ever be.
Sanatana Yog Sandesh serves the spirit of Yoga in its unadulterated, unmodified and unaltered form as per the needs and limitations of an individual irrespective of his/her caste, creed, cult, religion, nationality and what so ever. We as channels let the spirit of Yoga flow in its natural way…..
Our Team Members
Every now and then throughout the life we are lucky enough to meet a person that has the ability to light up any space we enter. Rohit is one of those people and I was fortunate to meet him while getting my yoga teaching certification in October 2014, Mysore, India. At the time I was suffering with extreme hip pain. With Rohit's knowledge combined with the passion and attention he gives his students he showed me the path to healing my hip, while becoming more aware of what my body was telling me. Rohit continues to share his guidance and support with me even today. I am beyond thankful that the universe was kind enough to let us cross our paths!
I met Rohit at Ashram in Maisur and had chance to be trained with him during a Yoga Teacher Training Course in 2015. This is the remarkable and sympathetic person who can help people not only with moral but also regarding their physical problems. So I can safely call him doctor Rohit ? I am grateful that later long time we still support communication. Rohit; good person, good friend and teacher of Yoga. I hope we will meet next year;)…
Rohit is smart, kind, thoughtful and a talented master Yogi. He is charming, knowledgeable, sincere, polite, warmhearted, generous, good friend, good teacher and a wonderful man. The list could go on but those words are what remind me of Rohit. I had the pleasure to train with Rohit back in November of 2014 at Maisur in India during a month long Yoga teacher training course. I will never forget our first conversation. It was about the Yoga sutras of Patanjali. I knew from that conversation that I was going to be working with a master Yogi. And I was right! Rohit is a very talented and patient Yogi. He is skilled in his practice and very diligent. He is a good friend too. He is easy to talk to and is eager to help out with anything that you need. He is respectful too! I will never forget Rohit. I am glad that we are still friends even though we are thousands of miles apart. I am forever grateful to him for being such an amazing teacher and friend.
I met Rohit in April, 2015 for the first time and I discovered the therapeutic aspects of Yoga through him. I found him extremely knowledgable not only about how to treat patients with Eastern methods but also with a great insight into Western medicine and thus able to compare both with their limitations. I have during the year seen many people being cured by Rohit's Yoga programmes with proper diet of their concerned health problems. He has also a great insight into the spiritual world. For those who have needs to discuss and understand our existence and its mysteries they have a great friend in Rohit in this regard. I have for several months been able to consult Rohit regarding my patients with different ailments and it has been a great success. For those who attend Rohit's classes and get his consultations I can promise it is worth everything!". I pray he may continue to be growing in this dimension of his existence for the well being of humanity!!!
I met Rohit in 2014 in Kerala during a Panchakarma treatment. Rohit gave Yoga lessons 3 times a day. One day we sat and had a chat together. I asked him what Yoga meant to him. His answer left me wonderstruck . "Yoga meant so much love he said, unbelievable without boundaries" and while sitting there I felt and saw the sincerity, deep love and truth in him. From that moment I took every moment to follow as much Yoga lessons by him as was possible in between the Panchakarma treatments. Weak or full of energy I was drawn to follow Rohit's Yoga lessons. His lessons were always connected with this deep love, with great knowledge about the Asanas and sitting there we all were part of the ancient Yoga roots and Rohit's own experience and wisdom. What Rohit did was giving Yoga lessons which were always a challenge, but with respect to one's limits and always following and listening what every person could do at the moment. Rohit encouraged every one and helped ("served" is what Rohit always prefers to use instead) everyone. His great faith in the healing benefits of Yoga became real for many people there. For me doing Yoga these weeks was the beginning of stretching all my "channels" in body, mind and heart. From the day I was in Kerala till now I do Yoga every day. "Rohit has been my first and greatest inspiration for this journey.
I always remember the day I met Rohit's eyes for the first time. It was in the Ayurveda Yoga Villa in Kerala in 2014. It felt like we already knew each other long before we met. I surrendered in deep trust. I am practicing Yoga for almost 40 years, but following Yoga classes with Rohit felt so different, much deeper, much purer but also familiar. For a Western woman, Yoga classes are really heavy and the intensity is overwhelming. For me Rohit's classes were Yoga as it should be, back to the essence ! After each Yoga class with Rohit, I felt different, more free in body and mind, sometimes with painful muscles because of my enthusiasm. "Yoga with Rohit is going further than the material world. it is meeting the universe; the unknown becoming less unknown". "Yoga is more than doing Asanas and Meditation. Yoga is changing the way of life, it is returning to the inner most being and being free". This is what in short I could receive from the bulk of what flowed from Rohit and his pressence.
I first met Rohit Ji during a month long Yoga teacher training back in October 2014 in Maisur India. The general feeling of everyone there before Rohit arrived was one of discontent. Rohit was supposed to start work for the ashram in November, but his presence was so strong and comforting already to those of us who got to know him, and so his work began sooner than expected. What would happen, then, was a transformation amongst us all. Night after night, he would sit with us individually to listen intently to our ailments and personal problems that hindered our progress as aspiring Yoga teachers. One could sense the palpable shift then only days after his arrival. Students felt a renewed sense of purpose. "No personality is beyond transformation". I remember Rohit saying these preceding words to me when I'd asked him how he's able to see past the unattractive qualities of people in general. It made me realize something deep down; it planted a seed that has changed my entire perception toward mankind, and has since fostered a love for all people that grows stronger with each day. It is Rohit's sincere regard for personal and collective progress that leads him to ask you hard hitting questions leading to revelatory breakthroughs as I had on that day. His devotion to his own Yoga practice is evident in the dedication he has towards improving his own student's practices. His patience and kindness are a beacon for any struggling student. When I myself was desperate for answers, Rohit took me aside and devoted personal time with me to develop a Yoga practice specific to my needs. This included specific postures for meditation, mantras, pranayama, and sun salutations. It is my pleasure and with great honor that I recommend Rohit Ji, not just to students of Yoga, but to anyone travelling the path to self-discovery.
I met Rohit in Ayur Yoga Eco Ashram near Mysore in January, 2015. His morning teachings started with a meditation where we would stare at the big red sun and dedicate our practice. The Surya Namaskara that would follow made even more sense then! Rohit's faith in Yoga is palpable and I must say I benefitted from it. More than teaching the mere physical aspects of Asanas, I learnt from him the importance of surrendering to the practice in order to have a much deeper insight on consciousness. Rohit would always encourage us to go beyond our limitations or fears, and, at the same time, remind us of the need to relax and to laugh at times. He is eager to teach and to transmit what he believes in, and anchors his schedule in quite a strict discipline (at least this is what I could feel); this reflects in his lessons as a peaceful and respectful atmosphere which I really enjoyed. I hope the new centre where he will teach will benefit as many students as possible!
Rohit is more than a Yoga teacher. I met him when I was doing my Y T T C at the Ayur Yoga Eco Ashram and he was one of the teachers. Immediately after we met, we became friends. He is a great listener and he gives very good advice if you have any question. This listening and analyzing type of personality makes him a very good Yoga teacher. He is very calm and has a very nice voice. He is very good at corrections and particularly he is naturally able to place Yoga as easy as a fun not just serious and spiritual. I would strongly recommend him to someone who is a beginner and to someone who has been doing Yoga for a long time.
I met Rohit in 2013 at a time when I was learning the art of compassion and how to reconnect body and mind. He as a patient teacher, and very good friend used his knowledge to combine the ailments of the body and mind to help me to learn to heal myself. He has great skill at providing enough guidance to me to ensure I know which path to follow, and yet is able to step back and let me learn in my own way the finer details. He is easily approachable and available. In these years of our great friendship he has always been a great support. I am grateful for his guidance and proud to know and connect with him.

"Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my blog?/ It took me days to write, will you feed my dog?" —"Paperback Writer," the Beatles (slightly paraphrased)
The recent hullabaloo about the Beatles' 50th anniversary got me thinking: "How about a blog post about the Beatles songs which tell stories?"
It seemed like a great idea– and by "great," I mean "easy to write." Not so, as it turns out. The Fab Four don't have as many "story-songs" as one might think.
Before I even started digging through their extensive discography, I determined that, in order to qualify as a "story," a song needed to have three elements: characters, plot, and conflict. (Obviously, other factors go into a story, but I settled on those three.) With those criteria in mind, I was able to eliminate a whole bunch of songs. For example:
- Songs That Don't Have a Conflict: the happy love songs ("Love Me Do," I Want to Hold Your Hand," etc.); the "kiddie" songs ("Yellow Submarine," "Octopus' Garden"); the "life lesson" songs ("Let It Be," "We Can Work It Out," "Here Comes the Sun")
- Songs That Only Have Conflict: "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," "Help!"
- Songs That May Have Characters, Conflict, and Plot, But They Just Don't Have Enough Information To Qualify as a "Story": break-up songs ("Yesterday," "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," etc.)
- Songs That Are More Nostalgic Musings Than Stories: "Penny Lane,""Strawberry Fields Forever"
- Songs That Are More Poems Than Stories: "In My Life," "Blackbird"
- Songs That Are More Character Sketches Than Stories: "Paperback Writer," "Get Back," "Lovely Rita Metermaid"
- Songs That Are Just Weird Psychedelic Trips: "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," "I Am the Walrus"
- Songs That Lack Cohesion, Since They're Actually Two Stories Mashed Together: "A Day in the Life"
- Songs That, By John's Own Admission, Are Just "Gobbledygook": "Come Together"
You get the idea. In the end, after much internal fussing and fighting, I unearthed five songs that fit my criteria of "story-songs." In no particular order:
- Characters: cowboy Rocky Raccoon; his ex-girlfriend, Nancy "Lil" Magill; Nancy's new boyfriend, Dan
- Conflict: A jilted and jealous Rocky wants to shoot his romantic rival
- Plot: A good ol' gun-slingin' Western, the song recounts how Rocky challenges Dan to a draw. Unfortunately, Dan's not only better with the girls, he also has a quicker trigger-finger. Dan shoots Rocky first. Rocky ends the song back in his room being treated by a seemingly less-than-competent doctor. (The doc is "stinking of gin.")
- Fun Fact: McCartney originally called the main character "Rocky Sassoon."
- My Take: Unlike many of the Beatles' story-songs, this one is pretty straight-forward and easy to understand. Yeah, no one will rank this as a favorite, but I do like the twist that the guy out for revenge is the one who got shot.
"Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)"
- Characters: The narrator and his paramour du jour
- Conflict: The narrator might be struggling internally with his infidelity (See "Fun Fact")
- Plot: An independent woman (with a job, an apartment, and clear sense of what/ who she wants) takes the narrator up to her room; they drink some wine and talk until two, and then… who knows? After all, when she says, "It's time for bed," is that an invitation ("time for US to go to bed") or a dismissal ("time for ME to go to bed")? On the other hand, the song starts with the great line, "I once had a girl , or should I say, she once had me," which is none too subtle. Eventually, our narrator ends up sleeping in the bathtub. (Really? I mean, you mentioned she didn't have a chair, but… isn't the tub a tad uncomfortable?) When he awakes, she's has left for work.
- Fun Fact: Lennon allegedly wrote this song as a confession of sorts for all the affairs he had while he was married to his wife Cynthia (the mother of Julian).
- My Take: Personally, I think it's pretty straightforward: woman meets man; woman and man get to know each other biblically; in the morning, woman leaves for work, while man sits in front of the fireplace reflecting on the previous night's escapades. Some listeners, though, have a slightly different take: the girl has rebuked the narrator's advances, and he resorts to arson as his way of getting back at her. Yep: arson. It all comes down to the "I lit a fire" line, which some interpret to mean he set her entire place ablaze, rather than he lit a fire, you know, in her fireplace. An intriguing interpretation, sure, and one that's not completely outside the realm of possibility… but I don't buy it. (After all, he says "I lit a fire" not "I lit the fire," right?)
- Characters: Narrator and his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend
- Conflict: The girlfriend wants to break up, but he doesn't want to. (Unfortunately, he doesn't have much say in the matter.)
- Plot: The girlfriend wants to end things, not necessarily because the narrator did anything wrong, but because she doesn't want to be tied down to anyone. ("She could never be free while I was around," he explains.) The narrator's bummed out, but he's also mad that she's NOT bummed out. ("I don't know why she's riding so high…" he fumes). The song ends without saying for sure what happens with these two; still, the fact that she has a ticket to move somewhere else can't be a good sign.
- Fun Fact: Apparently, McCartney said the title is a pun: she has a ticket to a British seaside town named Ryde. Meanwhile, Lennon says the song is about prostitutes in Hamburg, Germany. So take your pick.
- My Take: Music has given us plenty of break-up songs, but "Ticket to Ride" is unique in that it's a pre-break-up song. Our narrator has not yet been dumped, but he's pretty sure it's imminent– maybe even "today." Anyone who's been in that situation knows that feeling.
"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (Life Goes On)"
- Characters: Desmond, Molly, their kids
- Conflict: Uh… gee… not sure there is one… things seem pretty swell for the Jones family, actually… sure, maybe Molly gets a little resentful sometimes that she's out slaving away in the band while Desmond stays home putting on his pretty face, but other than that…
- Plot: Desmond Jones, who has a cart in a marketplace, meets Molly, a singer in a band. He proposes (with a twenty carat ring that seems considerably out of his price range); they marry, buy a house, and have a couple of kids.
- Fun Fact: McCartney borrowed/ stole the chorus from his Jamaican friend Jimmy Scott, who used to say "Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on."
- My Take: The lack of a conflict almost made me cut this from the list. The song might be too "happy ever after"… which is weird, because isn't "life goes on" a platitude you'd say after something unfortunate happens? What does Desmond and Molly's life have to go on from, exactly? Come on, Paul: get some tension in there! Maybe Molly buys a ticket to Ryde and ends up having an affair with the "Norwegian Wood" guy?
- Characters: Eleanor Rigby, Father McKenzie, the narrator (who looks at all the lonely people)
- Conflict: A sort of a "man's inhumanity to man" kind of thing going on
- Plot: In Act I, we meet Eleanor, a lonely spinster who wears a lot of cold cream to make herself appear younger. Presumably an employee at a church, she is first seen picking up rice after a wedding; we get the sense she wasn't at this wedding, nor at any wedding, ever– including her own. Act II introduces the equally lonely pastor, the sock-darning Father McKenzie, who is writing a sermon no one will hear. (Why won't they hear? Because no one comes to church? Because no one actually listens to him? Because he won't actually give these sermons, even though these are things he really wants to say? All delicious possibilities.) Finally, in Act III, Eleanor has died and Father McKenizie presides over her funeral; in a Gatsby-esque sort of scene, no one else is at the funeral.
- Fun Fact: McCartney had several names for the characters, including Miss Daisy Hawkins (for Eleanor) and Farther McCartney (for Father McKenzie).
- My Take: The best Beatles story-song– and one of the best Beatles songs, period. The song has it all: great metaphors ("wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door" and "buried along with her name"); a great mood, thanks to the string quartet; and great (albeit pathetic and tragic) characters. Plus, it leaves you wondering: How did Eleanor get so lonely? Why didn't anyone help her? Why doesn't the narrator help her? (Instead of just looking at all the lonely people, Mr. Narrator, why not say 'Hi' to her once in a while, so she wouldn't be so damn lonely all the time?) And most importantly: who are the Eleanor Rigbys in our own lives?
Are there other Beatles songs that tell stories? I'm sure. But I need some assistance sussing them out. So, to my audience: Won't you please, please help me? Help me? Help meeeeeee?

TINLEY PARK, Ill. --Funerals will be held today for three more of the five women killed at a suburban clothing store last Saturday.
Investigators were out in force Friday, hoping to find clues in the deadly shooting at clothing store in Tinley Park.
Police officers were combing areas near the Brookside Marketplace. Five women were shot and killed inside a Lane Bryant store there last Saturday.
Investigators were combing grassy areas around the eastbound ramp to Interstate 80 in Mokena near LaGrange and in Tinley Park near Harlem. Police shut down that ramp to traffic Friday afternoon. They also searched a pond and a field within a mile of the crime scene.
Police say they have received no specific tips but are searching several areas.Investigators were taking advantage of Friday's snow melt, looking for evidence, possibly including the gun that fired the fatal shots. While it may appear as though there hasn't been much progress in this nearly week-old case, police now say the killer left behind a key clue. A source close to the investigation has confirmed for the first time that the suspect posed as a deliveryman. When told by the store's manager that no deliveries were expected, he suggested there must have been a mix up, and they went inside to call another location. The man spent 20 to 30 minutes inside the store, and in that time, he left behind a fingerprint on the front door that police have run through law enforcement databases, but they say they haven't gotten a hit, a possible indication that the suspect does not have a significant criminal record. "This should not be interpreted as an indication that the investigation has stalled in any way. The investigation continues at a brisk pace, and new leads are being developed every day. To date, there have been 200 tips received on the tip hotline," said Rick Bruno, Tinley Park police. Police continued to praise the courage of the surviving victim, saying she's been instrumental in helping them understand what transpired inside the store.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – A 16-year-old boy may face charges after he allegedly told his ex-girlfriend to cut an apology into her arm with a Swiss Army Knife. The mother of the 16-year-old victim told police that her daughter had gone to apologize to her ex-boyfriend in hopes that he would stop harassing her.
According to the daughter, earlier in the day while walking down a path, her ex-boyfriend blocked her way and would not move. Allegedly he grabbed her neck, attempted to cut her hair with a Swiss Army Knife, and then stabbed her with the corkscrew. The report goes on to state that the boy then handed her the knife with blade out and told her to carve an apology into her skin.
After refusing, the girl eventually escaped to a public area.

The Solar Ark by Sanyo
In 2005, Japanese electronics company Sanyo has built what is probably the world's coolest solar photovoltaic power generation facility: the Solar Ark. The building is 315 m (1,033 ft) long and 37 m (121 ft) tall and has over 5,000 solar battery panels. It can generate 630 kW of electricity, enough to power 200 homes for a year.

oooh! we went by this on the way to Kyoto! I wondered what it was :)
Why do other countries always get the really cool-shaped building projects? :(
kW isn't a time measure. You can't power anything for a period of time with a kW. A kilowatt HOUR, however, is a useful measure and therefore that's what the electric company bills you for.

Well there goes the argument that photovoltaic cells are an eyesore!
It looks like a big stapler.

SAN DIEGO – And to think, just five days ago, it was reasonable to wonder if anything would be inferred, big picture, from yet another dominant Tiger Woods performance at Torrey Pines.
So much for that.
Now, apparently, there is no shortage of takeaways from Woods' 2014 debut. And depending on whom you believe, the shaky start to his nascent season is either: 1.) No big deal; 2.) Reason for pause; 3.) Or still another sign that he's done, finished, burnt toast.
With no Tiger or Phil Mickelson to fill airtime at the Farmers Insurance Open, there were plenty of opportunities to analyze (and then analyze again) what went wrong.
Best we can tell, here are the various criticisms of Woods, three days into his new campaign:
• He was rusty, after a six-week layoff. Asked last week what he did during the short off-season, Woods replied: "I didn't do much." Looked like it, too.
• He was disenchanted with Torrey's bulked-up setup. With wrist-damaging rough and firm-and-fast greens, there was no easing into the season.
• His ball-striking suffered because his backswing was too short – or, as Brandel Chamblee put it last week, that of a "55-year-old man."
• He is too muscly in the torso, again. Can't confirm this one, of course, because Woods walks into a scoring hut to sign his card, not step on a scale.
All possibilities, we suppose, and Woods himself could have set the record straight, explained how he butchered a course he usually owns, but he declined.
The world No. 1 wasn't sharp at Torrey Pines, not by a long shot, but he wasn't as bad as his 6-over 222 would suggest, either. Several of Woods' drives missed the fairway by a few feet, which meant that his ball plunged into the deep, thick rough. He found the fairway less than half the time (43 percent), which had a trickle-down effect on the rest of his game.
So let's see: Cranky driver. Competitive rust. Out-of-sync swing. U.S. Open-like setup. Add it all up and it's a blueprint for a grind-fest.
Last year, though, Woods missed the cut in Abu Dhabi, flew back to the States and won the very next week at Torrey. He could do the same this week, in reverse, as he heads to Dubai for a European Tour event.
What his lost week here really illuminated, however, had little to do with backswing length or course setup or muscle size.
No, it is this: This is the new normal for Woods.
Yes, he still can summon occasional brilliance – after all, he has won eight events in the past 104 weeks, more than any other player – but he no longer appears capable of bringing his best stuff on a week-in, week-out basis.
Consider this:
• From 1997-2009, Woods finished outside the top 35 in an event just 18 times in 231 starts (7.8 percent).
• Since then (2010-14), he has finished worse than 35th in 15 of his 57 starts (26.3 percent).
It should be noted, of course, that he is older, missed time because of injuries and struggled, at least initially, to implement swing changes. But the fact remains: He's become an increasingly erratic player.
Acceptance of this new world has been slow, and never was the widening divide between perception and reality more evident than in the recent 2013 Player of the Year voting by the Golf Writers Association of America.
Taking into account "global" success and not just on the PGA Tour, the scribes crowned media-friendly Adam Scott the winner for 2013 – by five votes over Woods – apparently swayed by the breakthrough major victory at the Masters and two late-season wins in Australia that came against Cottonelle-soft fields.
Woods, meanwhile, failed to add to his major haul but won five events in a season for the 10th time in his career. In the past two decades, only one player (Vijay Singh) has won five-plus events in a single year.
The slight apparently wasn't lost on Woods, either.
"I think that people look at winning five times as, you know, it's easy to do probably because I've done it, whatever it is, nine, 10 times," he said last week. "I've played at a high level for a very long time, but it's not easy to do. We as players understand it, but I think if you're not out here competing all the time, you perceive it differently than we do."
Actually underappreciating Woods, the greatest player of his generation – can you believe that?
Now, just like everyone else, Woods tastes success but, really, copes more often with the aches and pains, flaws and fears, frustrations and disappointments.
Yes, the professional landscape changes.
Games and bodies evolve.
Life intervenes.
Priorities shift.
And so, too, should our expectations for the game's ultimate winner.

CMS leverages technology in move from 'pay-and-chase' to fraud prevention
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will utilize computer technology to shift from detecting and then prosecuting fraud ("pay-and-chase") to preventing it, according to a CMS official who spoke at last week's National HIPAA Summit in Washington, D.C.
Peter Budetti, director of the Center for Program Integrity at CMS, said the agency has seen success with its automated risk-based screening program as well as its fraud prevention system driven by data analytics, the Bureau of National Affairs reported.
The risk-based screening program, introduced at the end of 2011, puts Medicare providers into limited, moderate or high risk categories. This makes it harder for unscrupulous providers to enroll while enabling more strategic fraud prevention efforts. Risk categories are assigned based on past suspicious behaviors as well as provider type. For example, all durable medical equipment providers are tagged as high risk.
With regard to the fraud prevention system, Budetti praised its social network analysis capabilities. Conventional data analysis screens fee-for-service claims against known patterns of fraud, while social network analysis looks for suspicious provider relationships that could signal fraudulent activities. After its first year of operation, the system has a projected 3-to-1 return on investment, Budetti said.
Also at last week's conference, a Department of Health and Human Services official said that with the updated omnibus Health Information Privacy and Portability Act rule taking effect next month, the federal government is set to expand HIPAA enforcement efforts. Investigators will focus in particular on organizations with "long-standing patterns of noncompliance," said HHS Office for Civil Rights Director Leon Rodriguez.

Student Handbook
Rohypnol is the brand name for a drug in the samefamily of medications as Valium and Xanax. It is illegal to manufacture,distribute, or possess Rohypnol (unless prescribed by a medical doctor). It is most commonly found in tablet form. Rohypnol is a fast-acting sedative. One of the most disturbing effects of Rohypnol is that it can produce aloss of memory while under the influence of the drug, which may be asignificant period of time. Simple possession of Rohypnol is punishable by upto three years in prison and a fine. Distribution or administration ofRohypnol to another person without that person's knowledge, and with the intentto commit a crime of violence, is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and afine. GHB is gamma-hydroxybutyrate. GHB also can cause loss of memory whileunder the influence of the drug. GHB is most commonly made in clear liquid formthat is colorless and odorless. It has also been produced as a whitecrystalline powder. Most GHB today is "homegrown" produced in "street labs" andthus, the potency of batches made varies significantly. Both Rohypnol and GHBdissolve easily, so a potential victim may be unknowingly drugged and worse,not be able to recall what happened while under the influence of the drug.

DramaFever's top 10 most popular dramas in 2015
As we welcome exciting new dramas for the new year, it's also time to find out which dramas were the most popular for DramaFever viewers in 2015. The surprising result contains an interesting array of dramas ranging from young romance to thriller. Check it out and see if your favorite dramas are on the list.
The criteria is based on viewing, meaning, the dramas which were most watched by our viewers. We skipped the variety and reality shows and will present just the dramas here.
Here is the list:
10. Birth of a Beauty - In this hilarious combination of romance comedy and thriller, Joo Sang Wook helps housewife Han Ye Seul transform into an irresistible beauty in order to get revenge against her treacherous husband. They also can't help but fall in love.
9. Healer - Audience members were enthralled by the mystery surrounding Ji Chang Wook's "Healer" character and the secret romance that developed between him and Chae Young Shin (Park Min Young). How will they safeguard each other and find their way to a happy ending?
8. Noble, My Love - This hilarious web drama is especially great for viewers who are on the go or have a short break. It stars Kim Jae Kyung as a veterinarian who is pursued by Sung Hoon, who needs to learn compassion.
7. Boys Over Flowers - Adapted from the famed Japanese manga Hana Yori Danga, this drama has become an all-time favorite and is often the first drama that introduces a new viewer to the joyful world of Kdrama-land. It stars Gu Hye Sun and the F4 boys, Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum, and Kim Joon.
6. Blood - Gu Hye Sun, Ahn Jae Hyun, and Ji Jin Hee star in the fascinating thriller about vampires who are also doctors. It is Ahn Jae Hyun's first leading-man role after rising to fame in My Love From Another Star.
5. Oh My Venus - Shin Min Ah meets So Ji Sub and starts on a journey of self discovery and healing for the both of them. This is a romance with a guaranteed happy ending.
4. School 2015 - Kim So Hyun and Nam Joo Hyuk star in the newest addition to the famed KBS School series. Yook Sung Jae, who gave us a serious Second Lead Syndrome, also won Best Couple with Kim So Hyun at the recent KBS Drama Awards.
3. Pinocchio - Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Suk star as two young reporters who find themselves in a tricky situation. She cannot lie, and he has to lie to survive. What happens when they are confronted with a crisis that compels them to change to uncover old secrets?
2. Oh My Ghostess - Park Bo Young and Jo Jung Suk play two chefs who fall in love, but she is possessed by a seductive ghost played by Kim Seul Gi. The touching drama embraces us with laughter and tears.
1. Heirs - Young lovers are confronted by social-economic gaps, family pressures, and corporate intrigue. Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye not only consolidated their star status but also helped a new group of rising young stars to fame, such as Kim Woo Bin, Kim Ji Won, Kang Ha Neul, Kang Min Hyuk, Park Hyung Sik. and Krystal Jung.
Are you surprised that Heirs is #1? Lee Min Ho's Boys Over Flowers and Heirs have continued their stellar popularity over the years. Many fans tend to watch them more than a few times, and it can also be surmised that there are many newcomers to the Korean dramas (and other Asian dramas) who are discovering longtime favorites.
Bonus: In case you are wondering what the ranking would be if we didn't have Heirs, Boys Over Flowers, and Pinocchio (started in late 2014), the list would have included EXO Next Door, Love & Secret, and She Was Pretty.
You can also compare this list with another list that ranks the dramas with the highest user ratings.
Which of these dramas have you watched? Which ones did you miss and would like to catch?

The Boy Is UP!
After months of pain and lying flat, he finally had an MRI that showed the problem (stenosis of the hole in the spine that the sciatic nerve passes through on its way down the left leg) and a magic shot (epidural delivering lidocaine and steroid medication to the affected area) that has taken away most of the pain! His shin still tingles a bit and occasionally twinges, but he has regained his ease of movement and is joyously walking and driving again! The whole procedure was done outpatient, and it only took about 15 minutes. He thought they were still numbing the area when the doc said, "Okay, all finished!"
Upon inspection at home, he had a bandaid over the needle hole and a big "Yes!" written with a flourish on his back, but nothing more to show for it. He can't swim for three days but he can shower, so all is right with his world.
His stamina is not what it was, but starting next week we will work on that. We figure we'll do water walking at the local pool for a week or so, then he will resume his water aerobics twice weekly and I will start swimming laps again.
He had the magic shot last Tuesday but I've been almost superstitious about reporting success too early. Happily, I can now let my breath out and shout out, "The Boy is UP!"
