2011 US Open Golf: 15 Reasons We Won't Forget This TournamentJune 20, 2011
How he won, in McIlroy's own words
"Even when I got here last week to do my practice rounds and everything, I felt like this golf course was well suited to me," McIlroy said after his victory. "The conditions helped, as well, you know. It was soft. With my high ball flight, I was able to stop it on the greens. When you hit the fairways like I was able to this week, you're going to give yourself a lot of opportunities for birdies."
Biggest point in the round: The 10th hole
"I thought that was probably the biggest point in the round because Yang had just stuck it in there close. So to follow that shot up with mine was pretty cool. To get the ovation coming on to the green, it was nice.
"And I was very happy to play the 10th and the 11th hole at 1‑under par today, because they were two holes that you had the possibility of making a big number on. And to play those at 1‑under par was big for me."
On the future
"You can always call yourself a major champion. And hopefully in the not so distant future, I'll be able to call myself a multiple major champion."
On Augusta National
"I felt like I got over the Masters pretty quickly. I kept telling you guys that and I don't know if you believed me or not. But here you go. Nice to prove some people wrong."
Inspiration from a friend
"I think when Graeme (McDowell) won last year, it made me realize that winning a major championship was achievable, attainable. To see a great friend like that win a major, it only inspires you."
The 15 things we will remember
1. American players no longer dominate our national open. There were only three US players in the last five pairings on Sunday. For trivia buffs: Robert Garrigus, Matt Kuchar and Bo Van Pelt.
2. Rory McIlroy is as good as the Europeans said.
"He's a player with tremendous potential, and winning fulfills that potential and makes it easier to keep going," Padraig Harrington said about McIlroy's victory.
"The probability of Northern Ireland producing back-to-back US Open champions is a lottery number," Graeme McDowell said. "There's no doubt my win last year has given Rory the belief to do it, and Charl and Louis."
3. With Tiger Woods out, McIlroy was just the shot in the arm that golf needed. Galleries were five, six and 10 deep, filling up hillsides and lining the ropes tee to green. It was packed.
4. McIlroy's scoring records nearly obliterated the ones set by Woods 11 years ago. (See "Rory's records" below.)
5. Woods did not start, fueling questions about his ability to complete in the future.
6. It was a fun US Open because the golf course allowed some scoring. It wasn't bogey, bogey, double, triple. It was at least a lot of pars and a few birdies.
7. People who like car wrecks on the golf course went home disappointed. Andy North and Curtis Strange said on ESPN that they were grumpy about the course playing easy. It was only easy for one guy. The rest of the field was grinding. No one shot a 63 or 64.
8. Europeans can have breakfast and dinner together and then try to beat each other's brains out on the golf course. Lee Westwood and McIlroy were regular meal companions all week.
9. Sergio Garcia still has fight in him.
10. Congressional may not be tough enough to host another US Open.
11. Jason Day is definitely a name to watch in future majors.
12. Dave Stockton is still the go-to guy for putting.
13. If Rory curses on the golf course, we don't see it or hear it.
14. Phil Mickelson had a bad start with a ball in the water, and even his amazing scrambling ability did not pull him through. The birdie well was dry.
15. Rory's records:
- McIlroy's total of 268 strokes breaks the 72-hole U.S. Open scoring record of 272, previously held by four players: Jack Nicklaus, 1980; Lee Janzen, 1993; Tiger Woods, 2000; Jim Furyk, 2003.
- McIlroy's total of 16-under par breaks the 72-hole U.S. Open record for most strokes under par, previously at 12-under held by Tiger Woods in 2000.
- McIlroy is the only player in U.S. Open history to reach 13-under-par, 14-under-par, 15-under-par, 16-under-par and 17-under-par.
- McIlroy hit 62 of 72 greens in regulation, the most in a U.S. Open since the statistic has been tracked.
- At 22 years, 1 month, 15 days, McIlroy is the youngest U.S. Open champion since Bobby Jones, 1923, at 21 years, 3 months, 28 days.
- With the victories by McIlroy and Graeme McDowell, both from Northern Ireland, this is the first time there have been back-to-back international winners from the same country since Alec Ross (1907) and Fred McLeod (1908), both from Scotland.
- McIlroy became the fourth player in U.S. Open history to shoot four rounds in the 60s, joining Lee Janzen, 1993; Lee Trevino, 1968; Billy Casper, 1966 (including one round in playoff).
- McIlroy is the seventh start-to-finish winner (no ties) in U.S. Open history, joining Walter Hagen, 1914; Jim Barnes, 1921; Ben Hogan, 1953; Tony Jacklin, 1970; Tiger Woods, 2000 and 2002.
- The last four major champions are all first-time major winners and all are in their 20s—Louis Oosthuizen (British Open), Martin Kaymer (PGA Championship), Charl Schwartzel (Masters), and McIlroy (U.S. Open).

Common Worship: FestivalsPam Sanders, via The Good Book Stall
First impression: very smart! This is probably because this book is intended for use by the celebrant at Communion without having to print out the relevant pieces beforehand.
For those of us who like to mark the festivals of the Christian year this is a real gift, with some excellent prayers, preface and blessings.
Although designed for Eucharistic use, various prayers, especially the forms of intercession, could be valuable in non-Eucharistic services, as could the blessings.
Using this book will add a richness to Common Worship services throughout the year and I look forward to using it very much.

Remember all those lies about how the Greek economy was going to grow and stuff? Here is the truth: the latest Bank of Greece report shows Greek GDP to shrink about 4% this year and unemployment to exceed 12%. And it is enough to blow Greek spreads out by 25 bps and growing. Below are the summary points from the report which is the first step to uncovering the true devastation sweeping the country. Elsewhere, Kathimerini reported that delays in the collection of taxes in Greece may cause a EUR 900mln shortfall in 2010 causing further widening in spreads.
From the report:
- Greek economy to shrink less intensively in 2011.
- Greece has no room for further tax increases.
- Eurostat Greek deficit revision may affect 2010.
- Greek fiscal adjustment must focus on spending curbs.
- Greece has long and hard road ahead.
- Greek banks must maintain high capital adequacy.
At last check, Greek spreads were at 715 bps, +25 on the day.
We are now convinced Greece will be the sacrificial lamb to restart the European crisis and to resume the EUR's slide back to parity with the dollar. Such is life when one's central bank is unable to print $4 trillion due to actual resistance to the tyrrany of a few not so good ad bankers.

Pros: Stays on no matter what... no smudging, no dripping
Cons: It won't add as much volume as other mascaras might
Blinc Mascara is the only mascara that I have ever used and loved. Its the only one that doesnt smudge and make me look like a raccoon after an hour or two.
Advertisement Description: Forget everything you know about mascara. Now you can learn about KISS ME! IT IS NOT A PAINT. Conventional mascaras are generally oil-based paints. Kiss Me mascara does not paint the lash, but rather, forms a tiny tube around every lash. The tube adds volume as it wraps itself around the lash, and it also extends past the lash thereby providing a lengthening result as well. IT WILL NOT RUN OR SMUDGE Only paints have the tendency to run and/or smudge. Since Kiss Me mascara does not have the properties of a "lash paint", it cannot run or smudge as they do...even when subjected to rain, sweat or tears. The dense texture allows for long lasting wear that provides the same striking look at midnight, as when it was first applied in the morning without re-applying! SIMPLE TO REMOVE. Kiss Me mascara is applied just like any other mascara, however, its removal is revolutionary. Only a combination of warm water and gentle pressure - not one or the other, but both - will easily allow you
I have very oily skin and Ive tried dozens of mascaras, both cheap and expensive but nothing ever worked for me. No matter what I did, I always ended up with half the mascara under my eyes after just a few hours. But Blinc mascara is different because its not oil based and absolutely does not run or smudge.
I highly recommend this mascara for anyone with oily skin that has problems getting eye makeup to stay in place. It goes on easily, doesnt clump, looks great (adds volume and length while still looking natural) and its very easy to remove. Instead of spending extra money on eye make-up remover, you can use your regular face wash to remove it.

Fatty Family is week's top loser
Published 7:00 pm, Tuesday, April 14, 2009
Special Projects Writer
During the second week of Pounds Off Plainview, teams continued to shed those extra pounds.
Only two teams gained weight this week as the remaining teams continued to lose.
This week's winner was Team 41: The Fatty Family, made up of team members Martha Vera Medina, Carlos Vera, Erma Trevino, Martin Vera and Felica Hipolito. The family lost 23.4 pounds or 2.3 percent of their body weight this week.
The team has been working hard this week by working out and watching what they eat.
"Our team has been going to the Y to walk and use the treadmill," said Medina, the team captain. "I've been on a low-carb diet with my sister Erma, and that's been helping quite a bit. We've just cut back on eating and exercising.
"I can tell that I've lost weight. I feel a little bit better. (Pounds Off Plainview) is a good thing for us to do. It helps motivates us."
Prizes for this week were donated by the Plainview Daily Herald with promotional items donated by local businesses.
In second place for the weekly prizes was Team 25: The Bald and the Beautiful, who lost 18 pounds or two percent of their body weight. Third place went to Team 33: The T-Bones, who lost 24.2 pounds or 1.9 percent of their body weight.
In the hunt for the grand prize, to be given away May 22, is Team 4: The Squiggles, who have lost a combined total of 59.8 pounds or five percent of their body weight.
Following close behind them is last week's winners Team 19: Just Chubby who have lost 55.8 pounds or 4.7 percent, and in third is Team 44: Bulky Bankers who have lost 49 pounds or 4.3 percent. (See Page 8B for a complete list of teams and their weight changes.)
Ten of the 46 teams were not eligible for prizes after all team members did not weigh in.
Teams are reminded that weigh-in times are 7-9 a.m. or 5-7 p.m. Thursdays and 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Fridays. The deadline to weigh-in for weekly prizes is 1 p.m. Fridays, so don't let your teammates forget to weigh-in.
Team pictures can be viewed at the Herald's Web site, www.MyPlainview.com.
Pounds Off Plainview is sponsored by Covenant Hospital Plainview, the Chamber of Commerce, the YMCA and the Herald.

I am very satisfied and the lens is MASSIVE. Took it out for a few quick shots, and the stabilization is very handy. Can't wait to take some good wildlife shots and use it in Kenya in a week. If anybody's considering this lens, go for it. Its big though! ...sorry for the short/crappy review.

DMK woes makes Karuna raise voice against reforms
Differences between DMK chief M Karunanidhi's two sons on maintaining ties with the Congress is behind the party's current posturing on the UPA government's decision to hike the price of diesel and place a cap on supply of LPG cylinders, Shekhar Iyer reports.delhi Updated: Sep 20, 2012 00:49 IST
Differences between DMK chief M Karunanidhi's two sons on maintaining ties with the Congress is behind the party's current posturing on the UPA government's decision to hike the price of diesel and place a cap on supply of LPG cylinders.
Union minister and DMK treasurer MK Alagiri and former deputy chief minister MK Stalin, who are locked in a bitter battle to wrest control of the party, differ on what should be the DMK's approach towards the Congress, against the backdrop of crises engulfing the UPA government - the most recent being the coal controversy and the political row over reforms.
While Stalin does not see much sense in remaining in an alliance with the Congress, Alagiri is against taking any snap decision.
This was one of the reasons behind Karunanidhi joining the opposition's protest on Thursday against FDI in retail, diesel price hike and cap on LPG supply, insiders say.Karunanidhi, whose main worry remains the exoneration of his daughter-- Rajya Sabha MP Kanimozhi-- in 2G-related cases, expects Congress chief Sonia Gandhi to push for a partial rollback and cushion the impact on the people.
Karunanidhi, however, was firm on not entertaining any suggestion from hardliners in his party to precipitate the crisis faced by the Congress in the wake of Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee's decision to withdraw support to the UPA government.
Karunanidhi's primary concern, apart from his daughter's future, is to stave off criticisms from Tamil Nadu chief minister Jayalalithaa that the DMK is party to the UPA's "anti-people" decisions.
So, after flexing its muscles following Banerjee's bombshell, the DMK on Wednesday made the Congress breathe easy by ruling out any immediate move to pull out of the government. DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan said, "The question of DMK snapping ties with UPA doesn't arise now."
Besides this, DMK leaders are unhappy with the Centre over issues concerning Sri Lankan Tamils and the 2G probe against Kanimozhi as well as former telecom minister A Raja. The party, which has 18 MPs, was second-largest constituent of the UPA after the Trinamool Congress.

Thomas Vermaelen admits he would rather stay quiet regarding his current situation at Arsenal.
The Belgian defender, who was once the Gunners captain, is struggling for game time this season with Arsene Wenger opting to use Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny in central defence.
Vermaelen recently said he would stay and fight for his spot at the Emirates Stadium but while in Belgium camp, he was quizzed again on his position and preferred to remain calm.
"I don't want to speak about the situation because if I do I make it worse, so I don't want to speak. It is not about my situation it is about the team and they are doing well, it is not about me," he said.
Vermaelen was called in for Sunday's 1-0 loss to Manchester United after Mertesacker pulled out with illness and admitted it was a thrill to simply play for the Gunners again.
"Of course you want to play as much as you can, so I was really happy to play on Sunday," he added.

Coming through on their promise to provide more color, the folks from Roo Group called today to let CEO Rob Petty give some more explanation to the company's recent investment deal with News Corp., and hinted that another similar deal with another large media company is coming soon, perhaps as soon as Thursday.
Since the deal snuck onto the Wall Street Journal website Sunday night, most news outlets jumped the gun and wrote about the investment before the official Roo release was posted. Petty said that the News Corp. investment involves no up-front money (he said the company raised $20 million in investment money last fall), but is instead a way to take the relationship between Roo and News Corp. "to the next level."
To us, that sounds a little like a bribe, albeit a cheap investment to keep News Corp. using Roo's technology on its big-media sites, like the Times of London.
Trying to counter some of the reports of turmoil surrounding the deal, Petty confirmed that News Corp. leader Rupert Murdoch personally knew of the deal. He said that the deal was kept small intentionally, so that News Corp. doesn't own too much of Roo (which might discourage other media companies from using Roo's wares). Petty said News Corp. does not have a board seat, and the deal doesn't restrict Roo from doing similar deals with other media companies. Petty then hinted that Roo might have more news about a similar deal as early as Thursday morning.
On the company's history, Petty said that Roo's decision to "go public" by basically purchasing the assets of an already-public company — one that manufactured organic products for male sexual performance enhancement — was borne out of the desperate times of the Internet bust.
"At the end of 2001, the boom had collapsed," Petty said. Trying to find funding then, he said, was not easy — "the VCs weren't there, the traditional funding routes weren't there." By taking over the structure of Virilitec Industries, Roo gained "currency to do acquisitions, and a means of raising small pieces of [investment] cash," Petty said.
"It was a very appropriate way to do things at the time," said Petty, who said that if Roo were at a similar stage today, it would probably still be private and not subject to inquisitions about its past that are revealed via SEC filings.

The Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), is a destructive pest of citrus and other types of fruit, nuts, vegetables, and berries. The short life cycle of the Oriental fruit fly allows rapid development of serious outbreaks, which can cause severe economic losses. Heavy infestations can cause complete loss of crops.
The Oriental fruit fly regulations, contained in 7 CFR 301.93 through 301.93-10 (referred to below as the regulations), were established to prevent the spread of the Oriental fruit fly into noninfested areas of the United States. Section 301.93-3(a) provides that the Administrator will list as a quarantined area each State, or each portion of a State, in which the Oriental fruit fly has been found by an inspector, in which the Administrator has reason to believe that the Oriental fruit fly is present, or that the Administrator considers necessary to regulate because of its proximity to the Oriental fruit fly or its inseparability for quarantine enforcement purposes from localities in which the Oriental fruit fly has been found. The regulations impose restrictions on the interstate movement of regulated articles from the quarantined areas. Quarantined areas are listed in § 301.93-3(c).
Less than an entire State will be designated as a quarantined area only if the Administrator determines that: (1) The State has adopted and is enforcing restrictions on the intrastate movement of the regulated articles that are substantially the same as those imposed on the interstate movement of regulated articles and (2) the designation of less than the entire State as a quarantined area will prevent the interstate spread of the Oriental fruit fly.
Recent trapping surveys by inspectors of California State and county agencies reveal that a portion of San Bernardino County, CA, is infested with the Oriental fruit fly.
State agencies in California have begun an intensive Oriental fruit fly eradication program in the quarantined area in San Bernardino County. Also, California has taken action to restrict the intrastate movement of regulated articles from the quarantined area.
Accordingly, to prevent the spread of the Oriental fruit fly into noninfested areas of the United States, we are amending the regulations in § 301.93-3 by designating a portion of San Bernardino County, CA, as a quarantined area for the Oriental fruit fly. The quarantined area is described in the regulatory text at the end of this document.
Section 301.93-1 of the regulations currently defines the term core area as the "1 square mile area surrounding each property where Oriental fruit fly has been detected." We have determined that it is necessary to amend the definition of core area because the use of GPS technology allows us to more accurately measure the distance from a positive detection site of Oriental fruit fly. Therefore, we are revising the definition of the term core area to read "the area within a circle surrounding each detection using a 1/2-mile radius with the detection as a center point."
The regulations currently define the term day degrees as a mathematical construct combining average temperature over time that is used to calculate the length of an Oriental fruit fly life cycle. Day degrees are the product of the following formula, with all temperatures measured in °F.: [(Minimum Daily Temp + Maximum Daily Temp)/2]−54°=Day Degrees. We have determined that it is necessary to amend the definition of day degrees because the use of weather service data entered into a computer model enables us to more accurately measure day degree accumulation based upon the latest biological information than was previously possible. Therefore, we are revising the definition of day degrees to read "a unit of measurement used to measure the amount of heat required to further the development of fruit flies through their life cycle. Day-degree life cycle requirements are calculated through a modeling process specific for each fruit fly species."
We are also adding jujube (Ziziphus spp.) to the regulated articles list in § 301.93-2 because jujube was recorded as a host of the Oriental fruit fly as documented in a peer reviewed international journal. Start Printed Page 66832
Emergency Action
This rulemaking is necessary on an emergency basis to prevent the Oriental fruit fly from spreading to noninfested areas of the United States. Under these circumstances, the Administrator has determined that prior notice and opportunity for public comment are contrary to the public interest and that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553 for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
We will consider comments we receive during the comment period for this interim rule (see DATES above). After the comment period closes, we will publish another document in the Federal Register. The document will include a discussion of any comments we receive and any amendments we are making to the rule.
Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12866. For this action, the Office of Management and Budget has waived its review under Executive Order 12866.
This rule amends the Oriental fruit fly regulations by adding a portion of San Bernardino County, CA, to the list of quarantined areas. The regulations restrict the interstate movement of regulated articles from a quarantined area.
County records indicate there are approximately 18 nurseries, 96 yard maintenance companies, 2 growers (including 1 jujube grower), 1 mobile vendors, 5 food banks, and 34 fruit sellers within the quarantined area that may be affected by this rule.
We expect that any small entities located within the quarantined area that sell regulated articles do so primarily for local intrastate, not interstate, movement, so the effect, if any, of this rule on these entities appears to be minimal. The effect on any small entities that may move regulated articles interstate will be minimized by the availability of various treatments that, in most cases, will allow these small entities to move regulated articles interstate with very little additional cost.
Under these circumstances, the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Executive Order 12372
This program/activity is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance under No. 10.025 and is subject to Executive Order 12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and local officials. (See 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V.)
Executive Order 12988
This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule: (1) Preempts all State and local laws and regulations that are inconsistent with this rule; (2) has no retroactive effect; and (3) does not require administrative proceedings before parties may file suit in court challenging this rule.
National Environmental Policy Act
An environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact have been prepared for this interim rule. The site-specific environmental assessment provides a basis for the conclusion that the implementation of integrated pest management to eradicate the Oriental fruit fly will not have a significant impact on human health and the natural environment. Based on the finding of no significant impact, the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that an environmental impact statement need not be prepared.
The environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact were prepared in accordance with: (1) The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), (2) regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality for implementing the procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500-1508), (3) USDA regulations implementing NEPA (7 CFR part 1b), and (4) APHIS' NEPA Implementing Procedures (7 CFR part 372).
The environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact may be viewed on the Regulations.gov Web site or in our reading room.

The report was released Saturday and says a federal and local partnership started in 2011 used financial, technical and other support to help the city which emerged two years ago from the nation's largest municipal bankruptcy. Federal staff was assigned to City Hall to work with community, business and philanthropic leaders to identify resources to assist in Detroit's recovery. Michigan universities and colleges want incoming students to be better prepared By Steve Carmody • Dec 6, 2014 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Several Michigan colleges and universities took part in a White House conference on math and science education this past week. The college initiative summit focused on better preparing students to succeed in college. Obama administration touts Detroit jobs efforts By Sarah Cwiek • Dec 13, 2013 Two Obama administration officials were in Detroit this week to highlight White House efforts to help Detroit. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez and Education Secretary Arne Duncan visited Macomb Community College. That school is one of eight Michigan community colleges sharing a $25 million grant to "create and expand innovative partnerships between community colleges and businesses" to train more workers for in-demand jobs. Upper Peninsula back on map at White House health care website By The Associated Press • Nov 10, 2013 Whitehouse.gov CRYSTAL FALLS, Mich. (AP) - The UP is back on the map. MLive.com says a map that the White House put up on the website showing which states were expanding Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act was showing an outline of Michigan that omitted the Upper Peninsula. Michigan is among the states that are expanding Medicaid under the health care law. Feds promise to "unlock" millions in Detroit grant money, complement private efforts By Sarah Cwiek • Sep 27, 2013 The White House is doing what it can to help Detroit—but don't look for much financial aid to flow from Washington. Some top administration officials told state and local leaders in Detroit Friday that the White House will "unlock" millions in federal funds for the city. That's largely money the city had already been granted, but couldn't use because it didn't meet certain federal guidelines. The week in Michigan politics By Jack Lessenberry, Christina Shockley & Emily Fox • Sep 25, 2013 cncphotos / flickr Listen Listening... / 4:13 Week in Michigan politics interview for 9/25/13 This week in Michigan politics, political analyst Jack Lessenberry and Morning Edition host Christina Shockley talk about why the Obama administration will be in Detroit this week, how a federal government shutdown could affect Michigan's poor, Democrats plan to turn around Michigan schools, and Governor Snyder's ad campaign. Obama administration releases strategies for keeping Asian Carp out of the Great Lakes By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jul 26, 2013 Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee The Obama administration released the "2013 Asian Carp Control Strategy Framework" this past Wednesday. It outlines a $50 million strategic plan to keep the invasive species out of the Great Lakes. We've reported on Asian Carp many times before. They're an invasive species that was imported to the U.S. in the 1970s. While they were originally used in research ponds and fish farms, they escaped and have been making their way up the Mississippi River system ever since. The fish could pose a real threat if they reach the Great Lakes. The carp could be a huge disruption to the natural ecosystem of the Great Lakes, potentially harming other fish species like walleye, yellow perch, and salmon. 'From the streets of Detroit,' a warm welcome for President Obama's second term By Sarah Cwiek • Jan 21, 2013 whitehouse.gov Events in Washington Monday honored President Obama's inauguration, and the Martin Luther King Day holiday. The two events also meshed at Detroit's Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, where a few dozen people came to the Wright Museum to watch a live broadcast of President Obama's second inauguration. Michigan Catholics sue Obama administration over birth control mandate By Rick Pluta • May 21, 2012 stmarylansing.org The Michigan Catholic Conference has filed a lawsuit in federal court to block an Obama administration rule that requires employer health plans to offer contraception coverage. The Catholic church opposes birth control. The Catholic Conference offers health coverage to about 10,000 employees and their dependents at Catholic parishes, schools and charities across the state. Paul Long is the president of the Michigan Catholic Conference. "Inasmuch we provide this benefit, this mandate would be very restrictive upon us," Long said. "We felt that we needed to act in a way that was in keeping with who we are and being able to continue to provide the plan that we've always provided." The lawsuit says the contraception requirement violates the church's religious freedom. It was filed at a federal court in Ohio. Franciscan University of Steubenville-Ohio is also part of the lawsuit. Is the world ready for Pure Michigan? By Steve Carmody • May 13, 2012 (photo by Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio) The Obama Administration wants to step up efforts to promote the U.S. as an international tourism destination. That's welcome news to the folks who run the "Pure Michigan" campaign. Michigan tourism officials know people from foreign countries come here to vacation, but they don't know how many, and that's important to know when they're planning how to spend the "Pure Michigan" campaign's $25 million advertising budget. This year, only about one percent, or about $250,000, is being spent to promote Michigan as a tourism destination in Europe, mainly in England and Germany. Nothing is being spent in Asia. George Zimmerman oversees the "Pure Michigan" campaign for the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. He says the Obama Administration's tourism strategy includes determining where foreign visitors want to go. "For about half the states, including Michigan, there just isn't enough sample size to really have good data. So, that's been a challenge for us, says Zimmerman. Right now, the "Pure Michigan" campaign is focusing on regional promotions with some national ads, and "a modest effort" in Canada. White House issues first ever fuel economy standards for biggest trucks By Rebecca Williams • Aug 11, 2011 Photo courtesy of EPA When you're on the highway, you see all those big 18-wheelers... the cement trucks and trucks hauling logs... the refrigerated trucks heading to the grocery store... pretty soon, all these kinds of trucks will be seeing some changes. David Friedman is with the Union of Concerned Scientists. He says these trucks are cleaner than they used to be.

Protect and save your memories
Provided By:
(NC)-The year is 1981. People record television shows like Three's Company or Dukes of Hazzard on VHS, having finally tossed away that old BetaMax machine. They listen to bands like Wham! on vinyl records or cassette tapes, and store Polaroid photos in albums or shoe boxes.
And also in 1981, Bill Gates was dubiously credited with saying that "640K of memory should be enough for anybody."
Fast forward to the 21st century. People live in an age of super-fast processors and satellites, GPS tracking devices and PVRs. The VHS player is a dinosaur and digital content is king, with people accessing music, games and movies via downloads and sharing photos and video online. As a result, it's now difficult to find a new computer on the market that offers less than a 120GB hard drive - and for many people even that's not enough.
In fact, more Canadians are purchasing additional PCs in order to meet their computing demands. According to Solutions Research Group, 59 per cent of Canadian households have two or more PCs. But with everything from important work data to precious family memories now residing in a digital world, how can people keep their critical files organized? And how do people protect their valuable data from potential crashes, theft or damage?
Servers, powerful storage devices with specialized software, are becoming a popular at-home option for protecting and managing a family's important information and files. Once relegated to businesses, servers such as HP MediaSmart Home Server featuring Microsoft Windows Homer Server software, are finding a place in the home.
These devices can help people manage their ever increasing number of digital files. A recent Microsoft survey revealed that the average house has 1,000 digital documents, 1,300 digital songs and 1,400 digital photos.
Compact in design, a home server acts as a central hub that can store and protect files, regardless of a PC's location, and can easily live in a closet or cupboard. This can help people organize, backup and store all their digital content in one place. And because everything is stored on your server, losing a computer doesn't mean that the information stored on it is gone forever. The whole computer, including files, programs and operating system can be restored to its original working state.
The Microsoft Windows Home Server software provides a familiar folder-based interface. This makes it easy for people to manage their files and take advantage of their server's expandable storage and remote access features which enable them to access their data from anywhere in the world. In this world of constantly evolving technology, it's great to know there is still a safe place to store old episodes of Three's Company.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Fitch Ratings on Friday upgraded Belo Corp.'s ratings outlook to "Positive" from "Stable," saying it expects the television station owner's credit profile to continue to improve.
The rating agency affirmed the company's junk-grade "BB" issuer default rating and all outstanding ratings. The rating outlook suggests that Fitch may upgrade its ratings in the future.
Fitch said the company has meaningfully reduced its debt levels over the past five years. While Fitch does not expect more material reductions in debt, it said that the mix of ad revenue and increase in revenues expected in the medium term means further cuts in debt would not be necessary for a potential upgrade.
The Dallas-based company owns 20 television stations in 15 markets.
Belo's shares rose 22 cents to close at $8.70.

How to Insulate Your Home and Save Money with Lower Energy Bills Too
Here is a great way to reduce your energy bills by sealing all the nooks and crevices that are in your home. With most homes constructed using material like cellulose and fiberglass, it is very often that the house develops small leaks all around. And what does this result in? Cold or hot air leaking in making it very difficult to keep the temperature on a even note thereby increasing energy bills while trying to maintain the optimum heating that may be required. The high utility bills are something we can well do without isn't it?
Why should we use it?
So what do we do to save money and keep our energy bills low, which in turn is good for the environment? Well, here are some pointers to look at.
• By using our spray foam insulation method you can save a whopping 40 % on energy bills which is good money over the year if you look at it.
• Use our spray foam insulation method which you can do on your own without having to depend on a commercial contractor and we are available to help you out 24/7 to answer any query you might have on its application.
• Our spray gun is very easy to use and the design has been patented. In fact it is as easy to use as you would a garden hose while watering your plans in the yard.
• We believe in giving you a safe environment therefore the chemicals that we use for the spray foam insulation is treated in such a way that they are mixed well and it will cure well once sprayed so as to not spread in areas that are not required.
No need to move out during application
This is indeed the easier and safer option to follow instead of going through the process of getting a contractor to do the job. He will use high pressure rigs which has chemicals that will spread all over your home and not just in the areas that need to be insulated. This means you will have to move out of your home so as not to be affected by the chemicals. This involves so much more effort and time lost as well. With the do it yourself foam kit, you do not have to undergo that disturbance. All you need to do is use a respirator during application. It reduces costs, time and effort too.

from their site:

Why do you use 24" front wheels on smaller bikes?
Some women specific design bicycles use 26 (650) wheels front and rear, but we use 24 in the front and 700C in the rear. A 26 wheel offers some advantages, but not the way its used by other manufacturers.

Everyone has the same goal when making a smaller bicycle for the smaller rider: make the top tube short enough! If you use a 700C front wheel, you can only shorten the top tube so much (to about 53 cm or 21 before the front wheel overlaps with the pedal, the dreaded toe-clip overlap. A 26 road tire is about 2cm smaller in radius than a 700C tire, so you can shorten the top tube just about as much (to 51cm) before there is overlap. A 24 road tire is about 5cm smaller in radius than a 700C tire, so the top tube can be as short as 48cm with no overlap. We use 24 in the front on our smaller road bikes (48.3cm and under) so we can have more latitude for good design. The 700C rear wheel gives you equivalent gearing.calitexicanhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-68549696429848590532012-07-31T11:22:41.744-07:002012-07-31T11:22:41.744-07:00Now we just need to get Declan's back, just on...Now we just need to get Declan's back, just on principal.

The Moss Bros. Auto Group believes giving back is essential and enjoys being able to contribute to some worthy causes. There are several programs that we participate in throughout the year that allow us, as a company to build relationships with our local residents. We invite you learn more about these programs, to get involved and join in the fun of many of these great events.
1) Moreno Valley Relay for Life
Moss Bros. Auto Group has been sponsoring the Moreno Valley Relay for Life event for over 17 years. This year they raised over $15,000 for the fight for cancer.The company has raised over $10,000 for the last 3 years and has been awarded for being a Top supporter. Relay for Life is a national fundraiser for the American Cancer Society that sees cancer as the one of the top leading threats to society's health. The employees at Moss Bros. Auto Group banded together to participate in the Ram Truck test drive event in which guests & relayers at the event had the opportunity to test drive the latest Ram trucks. With each test drive, Ram contributed to the Relay for Life fund. A special thank you goes out to all of our Moss Bros. employees who did a fantastic job and had a great time walking in support of such a wonderful cause. The event was a success and we look forward to next year's race.This October, Moss Bros. employees will wear a pink ribbon, tie, or specially designed awareness t-shirts to stand in support with others who have been affected by breast cancer.
2) Blood Drives and More
Our Season of Giving community events in the past have included food drives with the Second Harvest Food Bank, toy drives with Toys 4 Tots and annual blood drives through the American Red Cross. This year Moss Bros. Auto Group will have an annual Blood Drive to help the American Red Cross get essential, life saving blood to people in need. We hope Inland Empire residents will attend our next event and donate to save lives.
3) Moss Bros. Community Car Wash
Moss Bros. encourages a team player attitude and what better way to encourage other teams than to have a car wash! As another way to give back, sports teams, non-profits, and more can sell 500 pre-sale car wash tickets and earn 100% of the proceeds towards their charity. Vista Del Lago baseball team will be the first Moss Bros. Community Car Wash participant with their event on August 24th. If your group would like to find out more on how to participate, you can find that information here.
4) Drive for Kids
Drive for the Kids is a national school fundraiser program through Chrysler that Moss Bros. Auto Group is excited to be partnering up with. Chrysler is the first automotive manufacturer to reach out in direct support of our local schools with this program. Parents at participating local schools can attend a test drive event and have the opportunity to drive and find out more about the Chrysler Town & Country minivan while helping their school earn extra money for programs and activities. Our first school up for the challenge is Bear Valley and we wish them luck. If you would like your school to participate please contact us.
Glenn L. Moss, Sr., President and CEO of Moss Bros. Auto Group is proud to sponsor and support these causes. Moss Bros.

Cyclists' revolution: Bike paths cover Sydney
The battle lines were drawn along Surry Hills' ultra-trendy Bourke Street when jackhammers pounded away to create bike paths. The road was partitioned, the community divided.
On roads, cyclists and drivers have been exchanging stares and shouts. Horns and bells have faced off. The bells, it seems, are subtly more powerful.
City of Sydney Council is creating 200 kilometers of cycleways and turning the city into a cycling Utopia.
"Over the past year the number of bike trips has doubled, and on some links tripled," said Clover Moore, the Lord Mayor.
The target is for 10 percent of all city trips to be made by bike (presently at one percent) to reduce car journeys by 4.3 million annually, Moore said.
Could Sydney ever be mentioned in the same pedal breath as Amsterdam or Copenhagen?
Who knows? But a two-wheeled revolution is already taking place on city streets.
The (sometimes) hostile reaction
It can take guts of steel to tackle the city's busiest roads, particularly in the dense, traffic-prone CBD. Half-constructed cycling lanes can end abruptly -- and fears of bus-flattening increase dramatically.
Meanwhile, motorists and pedestrians often complain that cyclists are aggressive, confronting and self-obsessed.
But Sydney motorists are famously hostile, according to U.S. academic John Pucher, who researched the city's bicycling trends for a year.
"I almost got killed several times -- people cutting me off, squeezing me off the road and not stopping," he told the "Sydney Morning Herald."
But Andrew Culrro, manager of the cycling lifestyle store, Sable & Argent in Woolloomooloo, says, "It's not as bad as it used to be … the aggression towards cyclists has plateaued."
Many cyclists continue to feel spooked. City of Sydney Council offers support via a free confidence course. Others opt for safety in numbers on the Bike Bus -- a group of cyclists that follows a set route and timetable, picking up "passengers" along the way.
The cyclists are winning the fight.
The rules
There are a couple of hard-and-fast rules: front and rear reflectors, brakes, bell and wearing a helmet are compulsory. Watch out for car doors, roundabouts and pedestrians –- especially daydreaming, iPod-wearing types.
And when you're on the road, you're just like any vehicle –- without the revs.
Cycle movement
A 'Fixie' (a fixed-wheel, single-speed bike) is becoming a favorite accessory of hipsters.
The number of bike shops in the city has doubled in the past two years alone. In inner city neighborhoods, a crop of fashionable, bike-friendly cafés has sprung up alongside boutiques and galleries.
The cycleway along Bourke Street passes Fixie-haunt Remy & Lees that serves macchiato, muffins and an air pump – if needed. A couple of blocks away, Robocog is a bike geek café wedged in a white cottage. With more cycling paraphernalia than you can poke a spoke at, it's owned by the neighborhood bike repair workshop just down the road.
This culture has wheeled into Bondi, too. Porch & Parlour is a pick-up point for The Humble Vintage bike hire company. Restored vintage bikes are available for around $30 a day.Remy & Lees, 547 Bourke St., Surry Hills, +61 404 384 014, closed Mondays.
Robocog, 249 Riley St., Surry Hills, +61 2 9281 2880, open daily.
Porch & Parlour, 100-102 Brighton Blvd North Bondi, +61 2 9300 0111, open daily.
Get the BUG
BUGs – bicycle user groups -- are becoming specialized. The more appearance-aware are part of the sub-cult Sydney Cycle Chic. Created by Sydney resident Saskia Howard, the movement is inspired by the Copenhagen philosophy of leisurely, lifestyle cycling -- with fluorescent Lycra.
"Cycle Chic is about getting on your bike dressed for the destination -- not the ride," Howard says. "The more people that ride in normal clothes, the more people are encouraged to treat cycling as an everyday part of life."
More easy riders are found at the Slow Bicycle Movement, while photography fans prefer the Shutterbug group.
For more information on BUGs, go to www.sydneycyclist.com and www.bikesydney.org.
Where to cycle
Peddlers can now coast from Sydney's north to west on the Bridge-to-Bridge corridor. The 2.6-kilometer, two-lane route traverses the Harbour Bridge and Anzac Bridge.
Cyclists are also making their presence felt atop the harbor. Many ferries are fitted with bike racks.
Manly, which has 20 kilometers of beachfront and off-road cycleways, is a peddler's paradise. Bike brigades can rent a cruiser, an off-road mountain bike or a tandem at Manly Bike Tours. The company also arranges guided cycling tours along off-road trails in the Sydney Harbour National Park, exploring harbor beaches like Collins Beach, as well as coastal paths.
The Greenway links the Cooks River cycleway at Earlwood to the waterfront at Iron Cove Bay. Flying foxes, possums and even the endangered long-nosed bandicoot stalk the route.
From the eastern side of Circular Quay, a waterfront path follows Farm Cove to Mrs. Macquaries Point.
Western suburbs cyclists take to dedicated paths around Homebush Bay, circling the Olympic precinct's parklands.

The $10,000 Degree - Instead of increasing financial aid, two states are decreasing college tuition
As college costs rise rapidly in most places, Texas and Florida are trying to implement something that has become a radical notion: a degree that costs only $10,000.Texas governor Rick Perry announced this goal for his state last year. (Perry was inspired by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who had remarked that online learning ought to make it possible for students to pay just $2,000 per year for college.) In November, Florida governor Rick Scott announced that he, too, wanted to see state colleges offer bachelor's degrees for $10,000 or less. In Texas, ten colleges have signed on (some of them working together in a partnership), while in Florida, twelve colleges — nearly half of the 23 four-year colleges in the Florida community-college system, which includes both two-year and four-year institutions — either have developed proposals or are in the process of doing so.
Considering that the nation's public colleges cost $13,000 per year on average for tuition, room, and board, while private colleges cost an average of $32,000 a year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics' 2010–11 academic-year numbers, Texas and Florida colleges have their work cut out for them. But there is plenty of demand for cheaper degrees: Some 57 percent of Americans think students are not getting enough value for the money they spend, according to a May Pew Research Center survey.
When Perry first announced the push for $10,000 degrees, he wasn't greeted with cheers. "When the governor issued this challenge two years ago, during his 'state of higher education' address in 2011, there was almost universal panning of the idea, [based on a belief] that there's no way we can do it," says Dominic Chavez, a spokesman for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The attitude toward Perry's challenge, he continues, was, "You're going to necessarily reduce rigor if you're going to do this, because you're basically going to be printing diplomas, and there's no way we can offer it at that price, etc., etc."
Of course, current colleges (at current rates!) are not necessarily delivering much bang for the buck either: According to Richard Arum and Josipha Roksa, authors of the 2011 book Academically Adrift, 36 percent of college students fail to "show any significant improvement over four years" as measured by the Collegiate Learning Assessment.
"So it's not just that a college degree is unaffordable," Lindsay remarks. "It's also very, very low-quality in all too many cases. The higher-ed establishment is an industry that is ripe for disruptive innovation, and that's what's happening."
Texas colleges are trying different ways to reach the $10,000 goal. In a September report for the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Lindsay outlined the various approaches. For instance, Texas A&M University–San Antonio is offering a program under which students first take college-level classes in high school, then attend community college for a year, and finally complete their degrees by attending A&M–San Antonio for the last year. University of Texas of the Permian Basin has launched a program that will cost $10,000 with all courses being taught at the university.

note Jasper I'll take some issue with some of your linguistic pedantry. :)

 Parentheses are a type of bracket, surely. What do they do but bracket things? You point out that backets come in the square, curly, and angle flavours. Why leave out round flavour?

 What's wrong with using the term 'speech marks'? Speech is double quoted in almost all literature I've come across, and I certainly grew up referring to double quotes as such. To insist on calling them quotation marks seems odd, especially when you go on to talk about double and single 'quotes' ('quotes' almost certainly being an abbreviation of 'quotation marks'). I've always called single quotes single quotes, though.

 While I appreciate your intent to educate, I do think you're incorrect or misleading on some of these points. But do correct me if you think I'm wrong.

 I'd like to point out that I was doing some work while writing this reply, and smylers nipped in in front of me ;) 444983 445008

Bhutto killing: Scotland Yard may be recalled
February 08, 2008 21:50 IST
Pakistan on Friday indicated that it may seek further assistance from Britain's Scotland Yard in probing former premier Benazir Bhutto's [Images] murder if the need arose.
Detectives from Scotland Yard could be recalled to provide further help in investigating Bhutto's assassination if the need arises, caretaker Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz Khan said on Friday.
Pakistani authorities are in constant contact with Scotland Yard and "keen to seek their help in future also", Khan told state-run PTV.
He said this hours after the British detectives submitted a report that said Bhutto had died due to a severe injury sustained during a suicide bomb attack on her armoured vehicle.
Khan indicated that Scotland Yard's further involvement in the probe was also dependent on permission from the British government.
Commenting on the findings of the British experts, Khan said, "There is no contradiction" in the findings of the Scotland Yard and Pakistani investigators.
Some suspects have already been taken in custody in connection with Bhutto's assassination in Rawalpindi on December 27 though "further details cannot be shared at this stage", Khan said.
The Scotland Yard team that probed Bhutto's assassination concluded that the man who fired several shots at her was also the suicide bomber.
The findings were rejected by Bhutto's close aide Sherry Rehman, who reiterated the Pakistan People's Party's demand for a UN-led inquiry to expose the "hidden hands" behind the assassination.
