Well, it's nearly the end of October and I'm trying to get ready for a solo art show in Burlington, Ontario. In the meantime, I also have some commissions that I'm working on (acrylic and watercolour).
Here's a house commission that I just finished in watercolour - 11x14". It's a housewarming gift for the new owners of this century old home.

Nigeria's leading story blog. Romantic Story. Wedding, Church Wedding, Preacher, Love, Vows, Wedding Reception, Flower.
The preaching didn't take too long. Eka and Dr. Gerry had convinced him to make his sermon brief. While he delivered his tailor-made sermon, in-between, he studied the couple whom he was about to pronounce man and wife. He could tell the both of them could not wait to have the nuptial cord tied as man and wife. He had not seen a couple who were that much into each other on their wedding day. He had seen many about-to-wed-couples; they usually were focused on whether the plans for the day were going as planned. However the two who sat before him were engrossed in each other. He had not seen that before, they almost distracted him from his sermon. They smacked of couples from fairy tales. They should have been looking at the preacher while he preached, but they were busy looking at each other. He watched Dr. Gerry as his eyes followed every contour on Eka's sublime sexy body, which her fitted wedding gown did well to amplify.
"I haven't seen a couple who are more interested in each other than in their wedding plans as this two before me are. I guess we just have to get them wedded; clearly we are wasting their time. If I was as in love as they are with each other, I might feel the same," said the preacher. As rounds of laughter and hand claps followed the preacher's observation, Eka thrust her fist forward and said. "Yes!!" Finally the moment they had been waiting for had come. Eka did not expect the feeling which overtook her. As she stood before Dr. Gerry for his vows and wedding ring, her heart began to beat fast. Without her consent, her eyes moistened. When the preacher asked for them to exchange vows, Dr. tried to speak but felt a lump in his throat. They just could not believe their luck that they were getting married to each other.
Expectantly, the congregation waited for the flustered couple to pull themselves together and exchange their wedding vows. Eka and Dr. Gerry were airborne; especially Eka. She was overwhelmed at the prospect of receiving the wedding ring from the man of her dream. She tried to hold back her tears but could not. She had to let it all out. Simbi was expected to rush forward and provide her with a handkerchief to wipe her tears but she had her head bowed and wipping tears of her own. Somehow all she could see at that moment was the Eka who was thrown out naked into the street on that rainy day. Dr. Gerry's mother shot herself forward and gladly wiped Eka's tears. She was meant to give them some space to exchange their vows but she would not budge the moment she came close. The preacher had to persuade her to give them some space. Grudgingly she took a few steps backward. In the front pews, Eka's parents were in tears with their heads bowed. They were having a tough time trying to forgive themselves.
The both of them having regained their composure, Dr. Gerry made his vows known to Eka, "When I met you in need, helpless and abandoned in that hospital, I did not know you will come to seal my heart this much. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I'm the one who gets to marry you. I see these vows not as promises but as privileges: I get to laugh with you and cry with you; care for you and share with you. I get to run with you and walk with you; build with you and live with you. I promise to love and care for you, and I will try in every way to be worthy of your love. I will always be honest with you, kind, patient and forgiving. But most of all, I promise to be a true and loyal friend to you. I love you Ekaette."
Having said their vows the preacher led them to exchange wedding rings. The moment Dr. Gerry slipped the ring on Eka's finger, she vibrated. Her mother in-law took a step forward, but the preacher motioned for her to stay back. That was not the time to kiss, but Eka felt drawn to kiss him at that point. She had to stop herself. When her turn came and the preacher's voice echoed, "Bride, as you place the ring on Groom's finger, please repeat after me…" Eka inched closer to Dr. Gerry and repeated the words of the preacher. Behind them people wiped their tears away; those who really knew their story, especially that of Eka, cried rivers of joyful tears.
With the wave of the preacher's hand, Dr. Gerry took Eka in his hands and kissed her passionately. Eka wrapped herself around him for the length of the kiss. For some time it seemed the preacher would not stop them; he just smiled and clapped his hands. There was no music playing, but Dr. Gerry's mother was busy dancing. Ema, Christy, their husbands, Sammy, Simbi, the bridal train and the groomsmen were all up on their feet clapping.While Eka and Dr. Gerry held each other in a kiss, there was an uninvited guest who slipped into the church auditorium. She was expected to be serving her term in the prison. Quietly she sat at the back of the hall and watched the couple for a moment. Quite unlike her, she stood to her feet and joined the congregation in clapping and cheering on the couple as they kissed each other. Uncharacteristic of her, there were a few tears in her eyes. She had to remove an handkerchief from her purse and dabbed the corners of her eyes. Her name was NK.
When events shifted outside and the couple began to take pictures with guests; NK emerged from the crowd, squeezed herself in-between Eka and Dr. Gerry and shouted, "Cheese!" with tears in her eyes as multiple camera shutters clicked, snapping them. Ema and Christy did not see that coming. NK's change of heart was a blast from the blue. When Ema and Christy came closer to her, all she could say was, "I am sorry! I am very sorry!" as she shook and sobbed soulfully. The two sisters put their hands around her and led her away. Eka and Dr. Gerry stood speechless looking at each other in disbelief. Perhaps their arch enemy must have broke out of jail just to attend their wedding.
Eka brimmed with joy and happiness; there was no way some other person in the whole wide world was happier than she was that day. When it was time to dance, she had Dr. Gerry swept off his feet with her brand new moves. Simbi had seen to it that she got her dance moves polished. For Dr. Gerry he did not care who won the dance or what went on in the reception hall. He just could not wait to take his wife home. Amid her joy, Eka forgot that a surprise was coming her way. When the after-wedding party was over, Dr. Gerry and Eka left home to pack their stuffs for honeymoon, and Eka remembered the surprise Dr. Gerry had promised her. "Baby what happened to the nasty surprise you had in stock for me?" "I had to call it off during the wedding reception. Simbi told me what you had to go through in the church when I was held up in traffic. Besides her threatening me, I could not find it in my heart to go through with it. I am really sorry for that delay; it was never part of my plan." Both of them were on the bed, and so Eka rolled on top of him and kissed him for very long time. After she broke from the kiss, she asked, "What did Simbi tell you she would do if you stuck to going ahead with your surprise?"
"She folded her fingers into gun shape, pointed it on my forehead and told me she would shoot me if I put you through another round of harrowing experience. The way she sounded I think she meant it. That girl sure knows how to protect you." "I love Simbi with all my life. I am where I am today because of her. I will never be able to repay her." Changing the topic she asked, "What was the surprise you had in store for me?" "I was going to play dead this night. Sammy was meant to find me dead in our hotel room." Eka gave him two punches to the chest and said, "Who told you I would give you the chance to play that trick on me?" "We had it all planned out.Simbi was going to take you away for us to set it up." "What!!! Was Simbi part of it?!" "She knew what was coming your way that was the reason she told me not to do it." "I am going to kill her when I get back from my honeymoon." Sitting on top of Dr. Gerry, Eka landed a few more punches on his chest. "Are you aware that would have killed me if you had done that?" "I am glad I did not go ahead with it." Standing to her feet, Eka turned her back to Dr. Gerry and asked him to help her get out of her after-wedding dress. Dr. Gerry's hand shook and his heart raced as he began to remove her clothes.

This year is the first year ever that Walt Disney Animation Studios is releasing two CG animated films. We released Zootopia back in March, and next week, we will be releasing our newest film, Moana. I've spent the bulk of the last year and a half working as part of Disney's Hyperion Renderer team on a long list of improvements and new features for Moana. Moana is the first film I have an official credit on, and I couldn't be more excited for the world to see what we have made!
We're all incredibly proud of Moana; the story is fantastic, the characters are fresh and deep and incredibly appealing, and the music is an instant classic. Most important for a rendering guy though, I think Moana is flat out the best looking animated film anyone has ever made. Every single department on this film really outdid themselves. The technology that we had to develop for this film was staggering; we have a whole new distributed fluid simulation package for the endless oceans in the film, we added advanced new lighting capabilities to Hyperion that have never been used in an animated film before to this extent (to the best of my knowledge), we made huge advances in our animation technology for characters such as Maui; the list goes on and on and on. Something like over 85% of the shots in this movie have significant FX work in them, which is unheard of for animated features. We are going to have a lot to show at the next SIGGRAPH conference.
The first section of the credits sequence in Moana showcases a number of the props that our artists made for the film. I highly recommend staying and staring at all of the eye candy; our look and modeling departments are filled with some of the most dedicated and talented folks I've ever met. The props in the credits have simply preposterous amounts of detail on them; every single prop has stuff like tiny little flyaway fibers or microscratches or imperfections or whatnot on them. In some of the international posters, one can see that all of the human characters are covered with fine peach fuzz (an important part of making their skin catch the sunlight correctly), which we rendered in every frame! Something that we're really proud of is the fact that none of the credit props were specially modeled for the credits! Those are all the exact props we used in every frame that they show up in, which really is a testament to both how amazing our artists our and how much work we've put into every part of our technology. The vast majority of production for Moana happened in essentially the 9 months between Zootopia's release in March and October; this timeline becomes even more astonishing given the sheer beauty and craftsmanship in Moana.
Below are a number of stills (in no particular order) from the movie, pulled from trailers and various Disney marketing materials. These stills give just a hint at how beautiful this movie looks; definitely go see it on the biggest screen you can find! (These stills aren't of the highest quality; I'll replace them with higher quality versions once the film is out on Bluray.)
Here is a credits frame with my name that Disney kindly provided! Most of the Hyperion team is grouped under the Rendering/Pipeline/Engineering Services (three separate teams under the same manager) category this time around, although a handful of Hyperion guys show up in an earlier part of the credits instead.

Plus Rebecca Vasmant
Glasgow Jazz Festival Presents: Mr Jukes plus support from Rebecca Vasmant (DJ set).

The incredible album 'God First' sees collaborators Charles Bradley, BJ The Chicago Kid, Lalah Hathaway, De La Soul and Lianne La Havas contribute powerful vocals alongside samples from sources as diverse as Argentinian jazz great Jorge Lopez Ruiz and famed Italian composer Alessandro Alessandroni.

Over 14s, under 16s accompanied by an adult over 18
Artist website: www.jukesjukes.com
In an age increasingly dominated by faceless machine-created sounds, DJ-Producer Rebecca Vasmant is bringing a fresh new twist to dance music with her love of jazz, the original form of unbridled spiritual sonic expression. Rebecca is a passionate record collector and her knowledge exceeds her time as a "digger".
While promoting her own parties and record fair in Glasgow, starting her record label Shiehallion and touring the world over the past years, her whirlwind schedule has fitted in sessions with eight-strong Ghanaian outfit Kakatsitsi, as a live fusion show mixing traditional African rhythms with modern dance ingredients; two strains of dancefloor- friendly catharsis joining together in a vibrant new mutant. As well as working on her new project 'Glasgow Jazz Experiment which features world class musicians from The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, her talents are not only in spinning records, but in composing and live shows also.
Rebecca has already made a name in Glasgow with her residency at Sub Club, Made In Glasgow and Know The Way parties, running a popular record fair with the venerable Sub Club and a monthly spot on BBC Radio Scotland playing contemporary jazz records in an attempt to bridge the gap between this much abused but crucial genre and the electronic scene. A huge jazz fan, she also airs this facet of her irrepressible musical passion at key events like the Glasgow Jazz Festival and the Baltic Soul Weekender.
Renowned UK clubs which have been treated to Rebecca's sublime house and techno sets include a two year residency at Edinburgh's Cabaret Voltaire, the Sub Club/Arches and 69 Below in Glasgow, Aberdeen's Snafu, Dundee's Reading Room, We Love… at Manchester's Sankey's, Leeds' Back To Basics and London niteries including MOS, Pacha, Turnmills and East Village. She has also played festivals including Rockness, Audio Soup, Kelburn, Doune The Rabbit Hole and Wickerman, plus Ibiza spots such as Space, Savannah and Zoo Project.
Rebecca's MOS activities have taken her to 22 countries in the last two years, including premiere spots in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Estonia, India, Africa, Nicaragua, Bosnia, Latvia, Dubai, Austria, Turkey, Serbia, Algeria and Bulgaria.

Bhajana-rahasya 5.6: The service attitude becomes natural in bhava
Bhajana-rahasya 5.6: With the manifestation of bhava, a fixed service attitude is natural
Vritrasura spoke the following prayer—
ahaṁ hare tava pādaika-mūla-
dāsānudāso bhavitāsmi bhūyaḥ
manaḥ smaretāsu-pater guṇāṁs te
gṛṇīta vāk karma karotu kāyaḥ
O Lord, when shall I once again become the most humble servant of the servants of Your lotus feet? My mind will remember Your virtues, O master of my life, my power of speech will be used to glorify You, and my body will always be engaged in doing Your work. (Srimad Bhagavatam 6.11.24)
Expanded translation: When Vritrasura saw that Indra was not throwing his thunderbolt at him, he thought, why should I speak to this Indra whom I see externally. Why should I not surrender myself to my Lord? The Lord then appeared to him in his meditation and Vritrasura began to speak this prayer: "When shall I once again become the most obedient servant of those who have taken exclusive shelter of Your lotus feet? Tell me please, how long will it take before this happens? I am burning up with anxiety.
"If you say, 'I am coming soon to make you Mine, choose any benediction.' then I shall tell You what I desire: May my mind always remember You, O Lord of my life! And may my words glorify Your qualities, and my hands be engaged in massaging Your feet, fanning You and furnishing betel nut. In this way I will serve You constantly in body, mind and words." (Vishwanath)
Bhaktivinode Thakur—
chinu tava nitya-dāsa gale bāṅdhi māyā-pāśa
saṁsāre pāinu nānā-kleśa
ebe punaḥ kari āśa hañā tava dāsera dāsa
bhaji pāi tava bhakti-leśa
prāṇeśvara tava guṇa smaruk mana punaḥ punaḥ
tava nāma jihvā karuk gāna
kara-dvaya tava karma kariyā labhuk śarma
tava pade saṅpinu parāṇa
I was once Your eternal servant, but Maya tied a noose around my neck and ever since I have been suffering repeated birth and death in this world. Now once again I have begun to hope that I may become the servant of Your servant and attain a drop of devotion for You.
O Lord of my life, may my mind remember Your virtues again and again; may my tongue always sing Your holy names; may my hands find joy in doing Your work. I have surrendered my life to Your lotus feet.
Note that the language seems to indicate a perfect state that was forgotten, contrary to the siddhanta of the acharyas. Have no fear, it is a kind of hyperbole.
Something that is intrinsic to me is missing. It feels like I should have something, but it is not there. My natural state is to be one with God. I feel it instinctively. Why is it not manifest? Surely something has been forgotten.

Wife of Henry, Duke of Bavaria. They were both devout and he founded Bamburg Cathedral.
Being devout did not stop Henry from suspecting his wife of infidelity, and she was made to walk barefoot over fifteen red-hot plowshares to prove her innocence. Which she did — there was not so much as a tiny blister.
After his death she went to live an even more pious life in a monastery she had founded in Hesse.

Time for another challenge from Everybody Art Challenge this time to use some music and I used a Music stamp to make a background for my carol singer.
I coloured Charlie Carolling in traditional Christmas papers so it would work with the bits of Holly paper I had left.
My Scallop mat is from Avery Elle and everything was layered round it. Of course my Holly is Martha Stewart and the MFT Music Note die was also used to give it a reason for the music background.
Do pop over and check out the team and hope you can join us this week.
It looks like I have more or less enough Christmas cards just two very special ones to make and I then can just make them for fun now!
If you didn't know its the 1st of December and in previous years I have My Favourite Cards and My Favourite Christmas Cards posts and I plan to do the same this year. Eventually I will post the candy I have for each of them.
On Christmas Eve I will put up a post with My Favourite Five Christmas Cards 2015 with a Mr Linky to add your link to your post of your Favourite Christmas cards.
On the 30th December I will post My Five Favourite 2015 again with a Mr Linky to add your link to your post, now this time I'm quite happy for various crafts as long as they were made this year.
I'm also happy if you join a monthly favourite to add your link or even if you go over the five things.
Any question you can e-mail on firstname.lastname@example.com

Magazine article Techniques
Study Finds Drug Treatment Effective for Teens
Article excerpt
The results of a large-scale, four-city study on drug abuse treatment outcomes for adolescents were released in July. Based in Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Chicago and Portland between 1993 and 1995, the study looked at outcomes for nearly 1,200 adolescents, ranging in age from 11 to 18, who were enrolled in one of 23 community-based treatment programs. It found that community-based treatment programs can reduce drug and alcohol use, improve school performance and lower involvement with the criminal justice system.
The study was conducted by Dr. Yih-Ing Hser and her colleagues at UCLA as part of the National Institute on Drug Abuse's (NIDA) ongoing Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Studies for Adolescents (DATOS-A). NIDA is a component of the National Institutes of Health.
Outcomes were evaluated for 799 boys and 368 girls enrolled in a variety of drug treatment programs, including residential programs, outpatient drug-free programs and short-term inpatient programs.
According to Dr. Hser, the teens made significant progress, even though their length of time in treatment was generally short. The study found that longer stays in treatment resulted in lower drug use and lower rates of arrest following treatment. …

Sure, you won't be able to get your hands on this binding project from the dudes at Bataleon Snowboards until next season (12/13), but what the hell... the concept is interesting. Plus the Helgasons are already onboard and as sure as 1 + 1 = 2, the internet demands anything related to these two must be posted with immediate effect or the whole thing will come crashing down.
We received word from our contact at Bataleon HQ that they would be dropping bindings that would "forever change the way we look at snowboard bindings." It was pretty cryptic to be honest, with stuff like "We aim to create a more flexible buying and riding experience for the consumers instead having to deal with a set of specs/features that a Brand decides," and "allows them to purchase and ride a binding that is 100% customized for them," so we reached out to find more. We pulled no punches with our CONFIRM or DENY email:
- From the blurb and the brand name, it sounds like you can select the type/stiffness of highback you get when you buy, and even easily swap between for different styles of riding.
- Halldor and Eiki will ride them
- they will be engineered to work perfectly with TBT
- The baseplates will be made from the distilled blood of a thousand young virgins
Though we received no direct reply, we did receive this PR that shows our assumptions were (mostly) right. Though they missed a trick with the virgin blood baseplates if you ask us... Here's their chat:
The crew at Switchback Bindings today announced the first riders on their PRO TEAM to be Iceland's finest Eiki and Halldor Helgason.
"Stoked on the flexibility it offers. It allows me to ride exactly the way I wanna ride. Highback or No back…depending on the terrain, location or feature. Hell Yeah!" – Eiki Helgason
"I can set it up in just the craziest combo's…. shiiiiiiiiiet" – Halldor Helgason
Following the successful Triple Base Technology license partnership with Eiki and Halldor Helgason's Lobster Snowboards we are pleased to welcome both brothers onto our latest project Switchback Bindings" says Switchback Bindings founder Dennis Dusseldorp. "Switchback Bindings is just all about the riders and both Eiki and Halldor have designed their own PRO-MODELS which will be shown during SIA and ISPO for the first time. Expect personalized parts, prints and color-ways in true Helgasons style
Danny Kiebert (Co-Founder Switchback Bindings) adds: "The Helgasons are amongst the most creative and passionate riders out there and their input on products like this is awesome and key to the future of snowboarding. The way they approach snowboarding is unique and we are pleased to be able to tap into their creative minds and translate that into our products."

Past Exhibitions
The exhibitions at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center are a vital part of our role as cultural presenters. The exhibitions enable Boston University students, faculty and staff, as well as the general public, to explore first-hand the Center's remarkable collections.
Drawing on personal papers, news articles, historic pictures, personal effects and other memorabilia to tell their stories, our exhibits provide rare insights into both the public personae and the private lives of the more than 2,000 extraordinary people whose archives are housed here. The Center also presents exhibits on political, social, religious and cultural movements that have played critical roles in contemporary culture, such as the African American experience, 20th century espionage, or the history of comic art. Whatever the exhibit's focus, viewers come away with a deeper understanding of the people and events that continue to shape our lives.
Bud Collins
Bud Collins: Sports Journalist - Champion of Champions
This exhibition celebrates the life and career of legendary sportscaster Bud Collins. A giant in the field of both print and broadcast sports journalism, Collins is widely credited with helping raise the profile of tennis in the United States--especially women's tennis--to the level of a major international sport. This exhibition features personal and professional photographs, awards, articles written by Collins (including early pieces on Muhammad Ali), book manuscripts, television script pages, correspondence and memorabilia.
Mary Astor's Purple Diary
Ed Sorel: Master Illustrator
This three-case exhibition featured the original artwork from satirist and cartoonist Edward Sorel's new book, Mary Astor's Purple Diary: The Great American Sex Scandal of 1936. The book covers the life of famed actress and Maltese Falcon star Mary Astor, and her custody court case that knocked Adolf Hitler and Francisco Franco off the front pages of America's newspapers.

Under pressure from the war against terrorism, the line between civil liberties and security is moving steadily toward greater police powers for the government. This isn't surprising, given heightened worries about a hidden and potentially catastrophic threat. But the alarms set off by these developments in Congress and elsewhere (see story page 2) should not be ignored.
Take, for instance, President Bush's decision to authorize the use of military tribunals to try non-citizens suspected of terrorism or of harboring terrorists. If, for instance, Al Qaeda or Taliban leaders were captured in Afghanistan, judges appointed by the defense secretary could quickly get to work, free of normal restraints such as the exclusion of hearsay evidence and evidence gathered without a warrant. There'd be no jury, and no appeals to a higher court.
This option has been used before. German saboteurs were tried by such courts during World War II. Do today's circumstances demand the same kind of efficient, stripped-down justice?
Terrorists, such as those who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993, have been tried and convicted in regular US courts. Military tribunals, no matter how well conducted, run the risk of appearing to be "hanging courts." The US should carefully consider whether their use would inflame anti-US resentment abroad or set the wrong example.
Along with the military tribunal order came news that the Justice Department plans to question some 5,000 men from Middle Eastern countries who have entered the country legally over the past two years. The hope is that this sweeping interrogation might throw added light on Al Qaeda activities in the US. It could also heighten concerns about ethnic profiling by the police and FBI.
The department reportedly has issued guidelines on handling the questioning respectfully. If those guidelines aren't meticulously followed, this project could close off more information than it provides.
Then there's Attorney General John Ashcroft's emergency order to eavesdrop, in certain circumstances, on conversations between lawyers and their detained clients.
Mr. Ashcroft has emphasized that this new power would be used only in cases where he has a "reasonable suspicion" that an inmate or detainee is using his attorney to pass plans for future acts of terror to outside comrades. Anyone eavesdropped upon, moreover, would be told beforehand.
But there's nothing to keep the attorney general from extending his suspicions to people detained for questioning, who aren't charged with anything. Those people need legal counsel, and they're entitled to it by the Sixth Amendment to the US Constitution. But counsel without privacy, with the government listening in, is counsel in name only.
Do security gains from these extraordinary steps outweigh possible long-term damage to the cherished ideal of fair and equal justice?
That question has to be asked: The terrorism threat appears open-ended, but must counterterror infringements on civil liberties also be open-ended?
The need of the moment, along with vigorous tactics to combat terrorism, is for Americans to go down this path with eyes wide open - recognizing that rights put on hold in some cases must never be lost.

As the summer heat hits, we take special care to maintain our trees. This way, they'll hold on to their full canopy and radiant, seasonal glow all summer.
Unfortunately, there's one summer pest that gives our trees just as much attention, but doesn't treat them as kindly. Japanese beetles take over tree canopies on warm, sunny days.
You can control their damage, though, by detecting and acting quickly. Below discover what trees Japanese beetles do and don't like to eat and how to get rid of this garden pest.
When do Japanese beetles arrive?
This pest emerges and attacks plants from mid-June to August.
What trees do Japanese beetles eat?
This pest does play favorites when it comes to trees. Here are a few tree types Japanese beetles love:
- Crape myrtle
- Birch
- Littleleaf linden
- Crabapple
- Purple leaf plum
- Japanese maple
- Norway maple
- Weeping cherry
- Ornamental cherry
Are there Japanese beetle resistant trees?
Yes! There are a few trees Japanese beetles avoid:
- Evergreens
- Red maple
- White oak
- Red oak
How do Japanese beetles do damage to tree leaves?
These flying pests eat away chunks of tree leaves and flowers. Often, they'll leave nothing more than the skeleton behind.
When a Japanese beetle infestation is severe, tree leaves may brown at the top of the canopy or leaves may drop prematurely.
How can I get rid of Japanese beetles on trees?
To prevent Japanese beetle tree damage, apply one or two treatments a few weeks apart between June and August.

By Michael Quigley, Director of Research, LSN
As a fundraising entrepreneur, knowing who is actively investing and who is not has the potential to increase the efficiency of your campaign by 30%, if not more.
Who is "not currently allocating" is one of the most valuable data points that we gather on the life science investment community. In this category we put any investor who has made investments in the space over the past five years and is in the process of fundraising, winding down a fund, or moving out of the space completely. Of the investors we have spoken to over the past year, we have found that approximately 30% are not currently looking to make new investments.
Why is this important? Because investors who aren't allocating tend to be the slowest to respond to emails and voicemails, which can mean weeks—if not months—of wasted effort, as you try again and again to reach investors that are not seeking opportunities.
When we analyzed our data further, things got even more interesting. Of the investors we have spoken with who are not currently allocating, two-thirds are VCs; of the investors who are allocating, only one-third are VCs. This demonstrates a point we have discussed in this newsletter before: a large number of previously active life science VC investors are now raising their own funds, winding down, or phasing out of the life science sector.
The bottom line is that by knowing who is not actively allocating, you can identify all the players in your space who are seeking opportunities and substantially increase the efficiency and likelihood of successfully raising capital. Too often fundraising executives use a shotgun approach, reaching out and trying to touch everyone who may or may not be investing in their space. This tactic creates a lot of needless noise and wasted time for both parties. A little extra knowledge regarding the current state of the targeted investor can go a long way toward making a fundraising executive much more productive in seeking capital.

Availability, Contributions, Account Balances, and Rollovers in Account-Based Health Plans
December 2008, Vol. 29, No. 12
Paperback, 16 pp.
PDF, 986 kb
Employee Benefit Research Institute, 2008
Executive Summary
• Consumer-driven health surveys: This report presents findings from the 2008 EBRI Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey, as well as earlier surveys, examining the availability of HRA and HSA-eligible plans (so-called consumer-driven health plans). It also looks at employer and individual contribution behavior, time enrolled in such plans, account balances, and rollover behavior.
• CDHP enrollment: In 2008, 3 percent of the adult population with private health insurance was enrolled in a health reimbursement account (HRA) or had a high-deductible plan with a health savings account (HSA) in 2008. An additional 3.6 percent were eligible for an HSA but did not have such an account. Overall, 6.6 percent of adults with private insurance were either in a consumer-driven health plan (CDHP) or were in a high-deductible plan that was eligible for an HSA, but had not opened an account.
• CDHP eligibility: Among individuals with traditional employment-based health benefits and a choice of health plan, 40 percent were eligible for a CDHP in 2008, up from 33 percent in 2006. About 22 million workers were eligible for such a plan in 2008 but chose to remain in the more traditional plan.
• Contributions: Workers with employee-only coverage and an employer contribution have seen their annual employer contributions increase, and a majority of workers with family coverage receive a contribution of $1,000 or more. The percentage of individuals with employee-only coverage contributing nothing to an HSA was 19 percent in 2008. Persons both with and without health problems are about equally likely to contribute to an HSA, and their contribution levels are about the same.
• Longer time in plan: Between 2006 and 2008, the percentage of individuals in a CDHP for one to two years increased from 30 percent to 41 percent, and the percentage in these plans for three to four years increased from 9 percent to 19 percent.
• Account balances: The amount of money that individuals have accumulated in their accounts has grown. The percentage of individuals reporting that they had nothing in their account declined from 14 percent in 2006 to 9 percent in 2008. The percentage of individuals reporting an account balance of at least $1,000 increased from 25 percent in 2006 to 44 percent in 2007, and remained at 43 percent in 2008.
• Rollover behavior: The percentage of persons reporting no rollover fell from 23 percent to 16 percent between 2006 and 2008. The percentage reporting a rollover of $1,500 or more increased from 13 percent in 2006 to 27 percent in 2008.

Carnegie, Andrew - Overview, Personal Life, Career Details, Chronology: Andrew Carnegie, Social and Economic Impact
steel company million railroad
Carnegie Steel
The wealthiest man of his time, industrialist Andrew Carnegie is best known today for the monumental philanthropic projects he established after his retirement. Having made millions in the steel industry during the late 1800s, Carnegie dedicated his fortune to the educational and philanthropic causes he considered to be the proper beneficiary of capitalist profit.
Personal Life
Carnegie's early life fostered both his ambition and his radical attitude toward wealth. He was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, in 1835, the oldest child of Margaret and Will Carnegie, a handloom weaver. His parents instilled in Andrew a strict work ethic and a belief that wealth carries with it social responsibilities. When steam-powered machines made handlooms obsolete around 1847, weavers in Scotland agitated for economic reforms, but there was little hope of success. At the urging of his socially-ambitious wife, Will Carnegie moved his family to the United States in 1848. They settled in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, where Will Carnegie struggled to support his family. Young Andrew immediately began factory work, earning $1.20 per week as a bobbin boy in a textile mill. Soon he obtained a better job as a messenger in a telegraph office. Andrew memorized addresses and names to speed up his errands and was quickly promoted to telegraph operator. In 1853 he became assistant to Thomas Scott, superintendent of the company's western division.
By 1855 when Will Carnegie died, Andrew was the sole financial support for his mother and younger brother, Tom. He was only 20 years old. Although there was no opportunity for formal education, Andrew studied as much as he could at the free public library and learned double-entry bookkeeping at night school. He became an avid reader, a sophisticated lover of music, and a theatergoer with a passion for Shakespeare (he knew the Bard's work so well he could recite entire scenes from memory). By 1859, the young Carnegie was financially secure enough to move with his mother to the upscale suburb of Homewood. In 1864, Carnegie was drafted into the Union Army, but he paid a replacement soldier $850 to serve for him, a widely accepted practice at the time.
Carnegie was greatly influenced by his strong-willed mother, who was proud of her son's success and paraded in front of her former townspeople when she and Carnegie visited Dunfermline in 1881. Because of Margaret's disapproval, Carnegie put off marriage to Louise Whitfield, whom he had met in 1870, until after his mother's death. In 1886 Carnegie came down with typhoid, and suffered a serious relapse when he learned of his brother's death. A month later, when Margaret died, Carnegie was still so ill that his mother's coffin was lowered from her bedroom window in order to keep her death a secret from her son. Carnegie married Louise Whitfield in 1887, and in 1897 their daughter Margaret was born. That same year Carnegie bought Skibo Castle in Scotland, where he spent about half of each year until he retired in 1901. In 1916, Carnegie bought Shadowbrook, an estate in Lenox, Massachusetts, where he died in 1919.
Career Details
Much of Carnegie's success came from his extraordinary ability to recognize and exploit the opportunities being created by industrialization. During his 12 years with the Pennsylvania Railroad, he developed the managerial skills and personal relationships that would help him in his later business ventures. He learned how the railroad industry worked and introduced such innovations as keeping the telegraph office open 24 hours a day and burning railroad cars after accidents to clear the tracks quickly. During the Civil War, he organized the military telegraph system for the North and gained additional insights into the industry. Seeing the commercial potential of sleeping cars on trains, Carnegie invested $217.50, which he obtained through a bank loan, in the Woodruff Sleeping Car Company. Within two years, he was receiving an annual return of about $5000, more than three times what he was earning at the railroad. Carnegie also became a silent partner in several small iron mills and factories. By 1863 his annual income was $42,000.
In 1865, Carnegie retired from the railroad and founded the Keystone Bridge Company, which used iron rather than wood in the construction of bridges. Tom Scott loaned Carnegie half the $80,000 needed for this investment. Two years later, Carnegie founded the Keystone Telegraph Company, which received permission from the Pennsylvania Railroad to string telegraph wires across their poles. This proved so valuable that Keystone merged with the Atlantic Telegraph Company and tripled its investors' return. Between 1865 and 1870, Carnegie traveled between the United States and England selling U.S. railroad and bridge company bonds. He may have sold as much as $30 million in bonds and made as much as $1 million in commissions.
Chronology: Andrew Carnegie
1835: Born.
1848: Emigrates with family to United States; settles near Pittsburgh.
1856: Invests in railroad sleeping cars.
1861: Invests in oil and other companies.

1889: Publishes "Gospel of Wealth."
1899: Forms Carnegie Steel from his several steel companies.
1901: Sells out to Morgan, becoming richest man in the world.
1919: Dies at estate in Lenox, MA.
By 1870 Carnegie realized that steel would inevitably replace iron in the expanding market for building products. He withdrew from his other investment activity to concentrate on steel manufacturing. With his own capital, he built his first blast furnace that year and another in 1872. He persuaded some of his Pittsburgh business acquaintances to join him in steel manufacturing and with them formed Carnegie, McCandless, and Company (later known as Carnegie Steel). The company employed the innovative Bessemer method, which Carnegie had witnessed on a visit to Bessemer's steel plants in England in 1872. This process, which forces compressed air through molten iron to burn out excess carbon and other impurities, significantly cut the cost of converting iron into steel. In 1875 Carnegie opened his first steel plant in Braddock, Pennsylvania, naming it after the president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Edgar Thomson. The plant's first order, for 2,000 steel rails, was placed by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Carnegie also introduced open-hearth steel production to his plants, which lowered the costs and increased sales and profits. Carnegie consistently invested his profits back into the company to make improvements, cut operating costs, and drive out competition. By 1878 the company was capitalized at $1.3 million and it continued to grow, making Carnegie the dominant steel manufacturer in the country.
In the 1880s Carnegie acquired a majority interest in the H. C. Frick Company, which produced coke—a component in the manufacture of steel. Carnegie and Frick made a formidable business team, with Carnegie overseeing expansion, installation of cost controls, and modernization of plants while Frick controlled day-today management. In 1883, Carnegie bought the Homestead Works to produce steel structural members for elevated railways and skyscrapers-products in increasing demand in growing urban centers. Despite a harsh national depression from 1893-1896, the Carnegie Company, following Carnegie's command to "Take orders and run full," held prices down, kept skilled workers on the payroll, and earned profits. By 1890, Carnegie's take-home pay was $25 million per year. A decade later, Carnegie Steel's annual profits were $40 million.
Carnegie had always fought cartels, but by the 1890s he was beginning to encounter increasing competition from newly-formed corporations headed by J. P. Morgan and the Moore Brothers. These corporations wanted to impose stability on the steel industry by controlling prices and by limiting competition through pools and cartels. At first, Carnegie refused to bargain with these corporations, but by 1901 he wished to retire from business and devote himself to family life and philanthropy. J. P. Morgan bought Carnegie's controlling interest in Carnegie Steel for $500 million and restructured the business to create U.S. Steel Corporation. Carnegie's personal share in the buyout was $225 million, making him the wealthiest man in the world.
Social and Economic Impact
Carnegie played a significant role in building and modernizing American industry. He utilized not only the vast natural resources of the continent that provided the raw materials of manufacturing, but also a huge labor pool—new immigrants—eager for employment. Carnegie was quick to appreciate new technology, and although he did not invent his own innovations, he brought to his plants technological improvements that dramatically increased productivity and profits. With no public regulation of business during this era, Carnegie took advantage of the freedom to set hours, wages, and business practices as he saw fit. By emphasizing efficiency of production, he kept costs low and expanded markets for steel products. Steel became a pillar of the American economy, driving manufacturing and providing the materials needed for continued western expansion and rapid urban growth.
Carnegie's business practices also affected the position of struggling workers. In an era that lacked laws that protected workers' rights, Carnegie was not anti-union. In 1886, he published an article in Forum Magazine defending workers' right to form a labor union, and the following year he intervened to force his partner, Henry Clay Frick, to settle a strike that Frick had wished to break. But by increasing efficiency in his plants, Carnegie made labor conflicts inevitable because efficient production required fewer workers. In 1892, when the union contract at the Homestead mill expired, the workers organized a strike. Carnegie was on vacation in Scotland and at first directed Frick to honor the strike. When Frick made it clear that he intended to smash the union, Carnegie remained silent. On July 6, 1892, 300 Pinkerton Agents entered the area to break the strike, and a bloody battle ensued. Five strikers and three Pinkertons were killed, and scores were injured on both sides. For the next two months, the plant operated under military protection from the state militia, until the union finally called the strike off. This event soured labor toward Carnegie; his company was to remain nonunion until the mid-1930s.
Carnegie's success at business revolutionized the steel industry and helped the United States become an industrial leader. However, his impact on American society through philanthropy would outlast the industrial age. Carnegie followed the vision he set out in The Gospel of Wealth and dedicated his retirement to the proper distribution of his fortunes for the public good. He strongly supported education and the arts. In 1891 he founded a concert hall in New York City. He generously provided funds to cities interested in building public libraries. Most notably, in 1901 he gave the New York public library $5.2 million to open its first public branches. In total he donated over $50 million to build 2,800 public libraries in the United States and Great Britain. His belief in the free access to books is evident in an excerpt from his address at the dedication of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh in 1895: "It is the mind that makes the body rich. There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else. Money can only be the useful drudge of things immeasurably higher than itself My aspirations have contributed to the enlightenment and the joys of the mind, to the things of the spirit, to all that tends to bring into the lives of the toilers of Pittsburgh sweetness and light. I hold this the noblest possible use of wealth. The taste for reading is one of the most precious possessions of life, and I should much rather be instrumental in bringing to the working man or woman this taste than mere dollars. It is better than a fortune."
Carnegie also supported higher education and efforts for world peace. In 1898, he advocated for independence for the Philippines, which the United States had purchased from Spain for $20 million after capturing the islands during the Spanish-American War. Carnegie offered to donate that price for the islands to purchase their freedom, but this bid was unsuccessful. Carnegie also established the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in 1910, and provided funds for the construction of the Central American Court of Justice in Costa Rica, destroyed later that year in an earthquake. Carnegie donated money to universities in his native Scotland, and in 1900 founded the Carnegie Institute of Technology (which later became Carnegie-Mellon University) in Pittsburgh. In 1902 he founded a scientific research institution called the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C. and in 1905 he established the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Six years later Carnegie allocated $125 million to the Carnegie Corporation of New York for educational advancement through schools, libraries, research, and publication. By the time of his death in 1919 Carnegie had succeeded in distributing over $350 million-in all, 90 percent of his fortune.

Addressee / address
Re: Information Policy Subcommittee Hearing on National Archives, December 16
Dear ______:
The proposed renovation at the National Archives (Washington, DC facility) is a major concern for all researchers. As [a frequent researcher at NARA, a representative of…] I hope the work being considered will result in upgraded, enhanced research facilities that make it a world-class research facility. Many of us are worried that some changes appear to aggrandize exhibits, the gift shop, and other tourist attractions in the building at the expense of resources serving researchers.
First and foremost, the public documents preserved at NARA should be made accessible to scholars, historians, educators, journalists, artists, family historians, scientists, and other researchers—via up-to-date technology, facilities, and expert archival assistance. In your oversight role, please assure that this is the top priority as renovations proceed. I hope you will be at the subcommittee meeting and take an active role in the proceedings. [I plan to attend the hearing.]
Congressional oversight and support for research services is critical if NARA is to remain a renowned research institution, fulfilling its mission to the American public, and in line with similar facilities in other countries.
Thank you, in advance, for your support. If you wish additional information, please feel free to contact me.

Love is: confusing, complicated, aggravating and depressing. Love is: wonderful, complex, amazing, and simplicit. It is both confusing and understood. It is both aggravating and wonderful. Truth is, love is probably the most complex word, choice, and emotion in the English language.
I believe that love can overcome any kind of problem. That it can withstand through the most hateful or lustful hit. But only if it is true love. That it can help conquer the worst fears anyone could think of, with just a few words. Love can do anything, if it is true love.
I've had love help me get the most difficult things done. I wouldn't consider it a good kind of help, but rather a neccessity. I've had to let someone go to keep myself from hurting them, someone I loved, dearly. I said the most hateful words to that person, to keep him away, to keep him from more pain then my words. Love helped me do it for his sake of happiness, and it has helped me recover. I believe that true love is the most powerful object, emotion, choice, mindset and conquerer of anything on this earth.
I believe that with love, you wont need anything else. It has a life-long promise of happiness, so long as you really and trule love them. If you have love, you have the world. If you are in love, then you own the world, in a matter-of-speaking. You feel high on cloud nine and you feel like nothing can bring you down. You feel this way because being in love is like flying, you glide over all the chaos in the world, looking at it, watching it, but never really having to go through it, because you are in love, and it keeps you steady.
Love is the greatest grace, and the worst torture. Because, when in love, sometimes you can't have who you love. But it is beautiful either way. This I believe. I can understand how people hate, but I can't understand how they continue hating throughout their lives. To live without love, is to not live a life at all. Love is one of the main parts in anyones life. Love of your parents, love of yourself, love of your friends, love of your job/work, and the love of your life partner. To live without this is the most undesirable life; I believe this.
Love is painful and pleasurable. Painful, for it can cause you pain if they only love you for a reason that isn't true, or if they cheat on you. Pleasurable because if you love them, and they love you, then you can love each other the rest of your lives, without cheating, and enjoy the pleasures of each others company. Love is the pain and the pleasure of life.
Love is unspeakable yet still spoken. Love is life and death, truth and lies, cause and effect. Love is it's own opposites within itself, and this, I believe.

Sometimes it's hard to find a job, especially if you aren't sure where you should look. There are tons of resources available for job searchers. This guide will assist you in finding the places that will give you the best chance of finding your perfect job.
Talk to friends about job leads. Friends can get you connected with different employers that you might have not known about, otherwise. A lot of people will overlook this step. However, if you do not have good recommendations you may be turned away.
You may need to change your job search strategy if you are unable to find a job after a reasonable period of time. Though many places are not hiring, do not become discouraged. You might need to expand your job search area, but make sure that you can afford the commute if you get hired.
LinkedIn provides many wonderful resources when you are looking for work. You can demonstrate your industry knowledge and skills by participating in the popular Questions and Answers feature. Use the same section to talk to other workers on LinkedIn about the positions they hold, experience, skills and much more.
Organize important information in standardized forms. You may be asked for prior job information that you don't remember. A good practice is to write this down on a small piece of paper as a reminder. This will make completing job applications simpler.
You don't want to be friends with your bosses or co-workers. Keeping work and personal life separate has its advantages. Personal relationships can create drama and conflict and move things to another level. If relationships at work are affecting your production, steer clear of them.
Finding a job isn't as easy as it sounds. You must search in many places instead of concentrating on just one or only in a few places. The information above can help you to search in new places so you can find your dream job.

My dear colleagues, friends, and fellow travelers,
I write to let you know that we lost our beloved Pamela Hartigan on August 12th, valiant to the end, but as she wished: together with her husband, Martin, and family, at her home in France. As some of you are aware, Pamela had been battling cancer, so while the news was not unexpected, it still comes as a devastating blow to all of us who so loved and admired her.
Together with you, the extended Skoll family, we celebrate the life of a woman we knew to be utterly remarkable, a tireless champion for social entrepreneurship whose mark on this emergent body of work cannot be overstated.
Throughout her career, Pamela was steadfast in dedicating her life to making a difference in this world. To her work in public health with the WHO, her founding executive role for the Schwab Foundation, her co-founding role for Volans Ventures, and ultimately, her brilliant leadership of the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship, Pamela brought immense gifts: relentless energy, a formidable mind, and a radiant spirit that infused everything she did with life and meaning.
At the Skoll Foundation, we feel immensely fortunate to have partnered so closely with Pamela over the years. It was a privilege for us to support her co-authorship with John Elkington (whose inspired tribute to Pamela can be seen here) of The Power of Unreasonable People: How Social Entrepreneurs Create Markets That Change the World and help make possible the distribution of that terrific book at Davos; to have reaped the benefits of her always innovative and vital contributions to each year's Skoll World Forum; and most of all—to have seen her thrive as Director of the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship, a role she relished and which spoke to her immense talents as a leader, a thinker, a mentor and a provocateur.
Over her eight years with the Skoll Centre, Pamela didn't only touch thousands of students, she transformed their thinking and shaped their life's decisions profoundly. Today, those thousands of women and men believe they can change the world, and they are hard at it—in every corner of the planet, joining legions of social entrepreneurs whose work she supported through the Schwab Foundation, her partnership with us over nearly two decades, and through the Skoll Centre.
There is more to say, and so much to remember about the woman we cherished. Both the Skoll Centre and the Foundation are mounting on-line tributes, and of course, we will find ways to honor Pamela in Oxford. For now, though, George Bernard Shaw's memorable words seem right:
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
As we grieve for Pamela's loss, I believe we will all find ways to keep that torch burning. Having passed it on, she is counting on us—to bring light where there is darkness, hope in the face of despair, and determination as spirits falter.
With full hearts,
Sally and the Skoll Foundation family
P.S. For those of you who would like to share memories, thoughts, wishes, or reflections, Pamela's family has set up a memorial page.

I have been traveling to the Caribbean with Jetair for the past eight years, and for the past eight years their service hasn't stopped getting better! Actually, we were welcomed aboard the Belgian airline's brand new Dreamliner, which allowed for a more comfortable and faster trip (a lot less jetlag). The flight was very quiet (except for some turbulence when flying over the American coast). Boarding in Brussels was quick and well managed by the crew. The only negative aspects were the stupidity of the passengers, who decided not to tighten their seatbelts despite the signs (which I consider to be very disrespectful), and the slowness of the baggage handler in Brussels (Aviapartner). In short, JetairFly is an airline that is attentive to its clients and that does not stop improving the quality of its services.
Are you a representative of Jetairfly and would like to reply to this review or be notified by email when reviews are published about your airline company? Please contact us!

The Trifold futon package offers you a space-saving lounger pull out futon frame that converts into a full size bed. This amazing versatility makes the Trifold futon package the best choice for smaller guest bedrooms and dorm rooms where floorspace is scare. This value package also includes a standard futon mattress and free futon cover, offering you an easy to customize futon package at an unbeatable price. Choose from over a dozen different colors of washable cotton futon covers to create a look that is all your own.
The Standard futon mattress is a great match for the Trifold futon package, as it is the only mattress that is flexible enough to fold into the lounger position. You may upgrade to a thicker and more comfortable futon mattress, but be aware that the Trifold futon package will only be able to assume the lounge and bed positions. We recommend a thicker mattress if you intend to sleep on the Trifold futon frame every night, so consider kicking your feet up and relaxing in the luxurious lounge position as a "limitation" of your thick futon mattress.
The unfinished tulip poplar hardwood of the Trifold futon frame is a beautiful, durable material that is regarded as one of the best for high traffic areas. Unlike pine, the poplar hardwood resists splintering, cracking, and warping. These attributes are ideal for college dorm rooms and children's rooms where heavy use can be expected. The unfinished nature of this futon frame allows you to paint or stain it the color of your choice, so you can customize your Trifold futon frame to match your decor or celebrate your favorite sports team.
No matter which way you choose to enjoy it, the Tri-Fold futon package offers you an amazing futon value in a convenient loveseat size. Order now and enjoy free shipping!

Garcia with the lead and facing a shootout
NORTON, Massachusetts (AP) — Sergio Garcia only played in the Deutsche Bank Championship to make sure he kept advancing in the FedEx Cup playoffs. Steve Stricker showed up at the TPC Boston with hopes of making the Presidents Cup teams.
Now each player has a great chance of winning against one of the strongest fields of the year.
And they have plenty of company.
Garcia took time to get warmed up on a soggy golf course Sunday, and it's a good thing he hit his stride. With birdies galore on the TPC Boston, he took a one-shot lead into the third round, made five birdies on the back nine for a 6-under 65 and needed just about every birdie to keep his nose in front.
He was two shots clear of Henrik Stenson going into the Labor Day finish.
That's nothing new for this tournament, a big course with wide fairways and pristine putting surfaces. Since the FedEx Cup began in 2007, the 54-hole lead has been an average of 15½ shots under par going into the final round.
Garcia, with a two-putt birdie on the par-5 18th hole, matched the 54-hole record of 19-under 194 set last year by Louis Oosthuizen.
"It always seems to be where we're playing under some softened conditions here," Stricker said after a 63 put him three shots behind. "Guys get in their minds here to shoot some good numbers and play well. It's a fun course. ... I think it's a good test. It's one of those if you're playing well, you can really shoot a good number. If you're not, it's difficult at times."
It was difficult at times for Phil Mickelson, who had a 71 for the second straight day, this one not nearly as exciting — three bogeys, three birdies, the rest pars. He went from five shots behind to out of the mix, now 12 shots out of the lead.
And it was that way for Tiger Woods, who needed a rally and went the other direction.
Woods didn't get anything going early and fell apart on the back nine, starting with a tee shot into a hazard well right of the 10th fairway. He began the back nine with three straight bogeys and ended with a three-putt par on the 18th for a 1-over 72. It ended six straight rounds in the 60s in the FedEx Cup playoffs, and much worse, left him with no chance of winning going into the off week. He was 13 shots back.
"I just didn't have it today," Woods said. "I just didn't hit it well. I didn't make anything. I had a bad day at the wrong time."
The third round was about an hour old when it was scrapped because of heavy rain and lightning, with scores erased and the round starting over in threesomes off both tees. Players had ball in hand — they could lift, clean and replace their golf balls through the greens, which helps bring the scoring down.
The average score was 68.2, and anything higher than that meant losing ground.
Going into the final round, 25 players have posted all three rounds in the 60s, and most of them don't have a chance. There were 332 birdies and 10 eagles Sunday, meaning players had sub-par holes a whopping 32 percent of the time.
"We can't control the weather," Garcia said. "And you've just got to go out there and try to play the best you can. And I was very happy to see that my best was 6-under."
The question is whether that will be good enough on Monday.
Garcia's record is a meager 3-7 when he has at least a share of the lead going into the last day on the PGA Tour, and he showed a few weak moments by missing birdie putts inside 6 feet on two of his last three holes that could have expanded his lead.
Stenson had a three-putt bogey late in his round for a 66.
Graham DeLaet of Canada all but locked up his spot on the Presidents Cup team with a 62 and was tied with Stricker at 13-under 197. PGA champion Jason Dufner had the lead for a moment when he made his sixth birdie in 10 holes, only to cool off on the back nine and settle for a 66. Her was four shots back, along with Robert Castro (68).
"There's heaps of low scores out there," Stenson said. "You have to keep making birdies if you want to have anything to do with this tournament."
Monday is filled with plenty of ramifications.
The top 70 in the FedEx Cup advance to the third playoff event in two weeks north of Chicago. Ernie Els is among those on the cusp. Ian Poulter, despite a pair of late bogeys, had a 66 and was six shots out of the lead. He appears safe for Chicago, and now can try to think about qualifying for the Tour Championship for the first time.
Rory McIlroy made the cut on the number and still was lingering at the bottom of the pack after a double bogey. Then, he ran off eight birdies over his last 13 holes, with girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki showing up for the last two hours. McIlroy was too far back to win, but he can make his bid for the Tour Championship a lot easier.

That site is horribly inaccurate. I summered with a DC firm with two other W&L students, and that site indicated that there were no W&L students at the firm. It also underreported the number of Geargetown students, and overreported the number of UVA students at the firm.
It looks like you summered in 2005. I think the site is actually quite accurate for the years that it uses data from.

In roughly 18 months, participants in North Carolina's 10% Campaign have recorded over $10 million in purchases of locally-produced foods.
The 10% Campaign is a statewide effort of the Center for Environmental Farming Systems http://www.cefs.ncsu.edu/ to stimulate economic development, create jobs and promote North Carolina's farms and fisheries.
More than 4,400 individuals and 427 businesses, including 72 restaurants, have signed on to the campaign through the website –http://www.nc10percent.com/— pledging to spend 10 percent of their food budget on locally-sourced foods. Each week, participants receive an e-mail prompting them to record the amount spent on local food that week.
Launched in July 2010 in partnership with North Carolina Cooperative Extension http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/index.php?page=localfoodsand with funding from Golden LEAF http://www.goldenleaf.org/about.html,the 10% Campaign has generated support across the state. At its one-year anniversary in July, the campaign reported expenditures of $5.7 million. Since that time, the dollars recorded on the site have nearly doubled to more than $10 million.
"Golden LEAF is proud to support the 10% Campaign, which benefits North Carolina farmers and fishermen and helps grow our state's economy," said Dan Gerlach, Golden LEAF president. "The $10 million mark is a true testament to the commitment of our agricultural community and the quality of North Carolina-grown products."
The campaign was a game-changer idea from the Center for Environmental Farming Systems' 2009 initiative, "From Farm-to-Fork: Building North Carolina's Local Food Economy," that included several action items for building North Carolina's sustainable, local food system. The idea is that if all North Carolinians spent 10 percent of their food dollars on locally produced food, $3.5 billion would be available in the state's economy.
Much of the campaign's success can be attributed directly to its wide spectrum of partners. Among those pledging to spend 10 percent on local food are locally-owned businesses and community organizations including 76 restaurants; hospitals and medical centers; universities and colleges; and thousands of individuals.
The campaign also encourages individuals to seek out and enjoy farm products from its farmers' network across the state.
North Carolina Cooperative Extension has partnered with the campaign as well. In all the state's 100 counties and the Qualla Boundary of the Cherokee Nation, Extension agents designated as local food coordinators support the campaign by making connections between consumers, community businesses and local food producers. Cooperative Extension also hosts many public events and workshops in support of the campaign and local foods programs.
"The local food coordinators with Cooperative Extension provide a valuable link between their communities and farmers, as well as the local governments" said Campaign Manager Teisha Wymore. "We wouldn't be where we are without them."
Local governments, organizations and businesses may support the campaign in three ways: By pledging to spend 10 percent of their food budget on local foods; by encouraging their employees to join; or by promoting the campaign on a website, through email or through public events.
Brunswick, Cabarrus, Chatham, Guilford, Forsyth, Onslow and Rockingham counties have adopted resolutions in support of the campaign. In addition, Goldsboro, Southport and the Town of Knightdale have also joined the campaign.
Buy-local food labels are making it easier for consumers to identify and choose North Carolina food products. Large-scale food purchasers participating in the campaign include Centerplatehospitality, serving the RaleighConvention Center and the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts; and the campus dining services at North Carolina Agriculture and Technical State University
Health Care facilities like Pender Memorial Hospital and New Hanover Medical Center have committed their support by hosting employee farmers markets and serving fresh, local foods in their cafeterias.
"Developing and maintaining partnerships are pivotal to the campaign's success. " saidWymore. "These partnerships encourage consumers to look for local brands, support our business partners, foster viable farming communities and help the campaign track demand for local foods. We're proud of our first year."
Individuals and businesses can sign up http://www.ncsu.edu/project/nc10percent/index.phpfor the campaign directly on the website and track their spending and growing power on a weekly basis through an online interactive dashboard.
The 10% Campaign website also has a number of resources, including an online directory of organizations working to help consumers find farmers and sources of locally grown foods.
Contact Teisha Wymorefor information about the campaign at 919-515-0244 or [email protected].

By Rusty Tomlinson with High Plains Circle of Nonviolence
During the Campaign Nonviolence Week of Actions, I had been communicating with two groups in Kabul, Afghanistan which were organized and run by youth. They had started a campaign, ENOUGH!, and had an action planned for the International Day of Peace, asking for an end to war in Afghanistan. I asked them to write a letter, which I could deliver to my congressman, Mac Thornberry, chair of the House Armed Services Committee. They sent the following:
Dear Congressman Mac Thornberry,
We write to ask for your help to abolish the use of war in human affairs, certainly in U.S. foreign affairs. We are not coping very well in Afghanistan. The war that the U.S. government is leading in Afghanistan has in increased "terrorism" and the loss of lives. It has led to Afghans, especially youths, to flee the insecurity and unemployment, adding to the sea of refugees on Europe's shores and borders. #Enough war
Afghan Peace Volunteers and Borderfree Street Kids
I delivered the letter to the congressman's local staff, who promised to forward it to the congressman, in D.C.. I then mailed it to the local newsaper, who unfortunately did not print it.
