What would you do if you where in the middle of a round of golf and a woman streaked through the course? Although I have never been in a situation like this, all I would think to do is shake my head as I am turned away from the scene unfolding before me.
On Sunday at the Presidents Cup at Muirfield in Dublin, Ohio, during play an unknown woman dressed in a thong and red, white and blue pasties streaked across the 18th green, according to MSN Fox Sports.
Afterwards, the woman, identified as 23-year-old Kimberly Webster was caught by police. Still, she didn't gain access to Tiger Woods as so many have before her. Despite the commotion, the United States won the President's Cup.

Crispy Onion Rings in Beer Batter
All purpose flour | 1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs) | |
Corn starch | 1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs) | |
Instant mashed potato | 3 Tablespoon | |
Beer/Club soda | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
Japanese bread crumbs | 8 Ounce | |
Yellow onion | 2 Medium | |
Seasoning salt | To Taste |
1. Mix in all purpose flour, corn starch and the secret ingredient, instant mashed potatoes into a mixing bowl (instant mashed potatoes will make the rings even crispier).
2. Pour in a cup of beer and mix well.
3. You will not taste the beer or alcohol after the rings are cooked, because the heat will cook out the alcohol.
4. You can also use club soda or some people like to call it soda water. You can use water if you want, but it won't be as crispy. 5. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it sit for 15 minutes, it will thicken up because of the instant mashed potatoes.
6. Cut the top and bottom of the onion, remove the skin and the first layer of the onion, the first layer is usually soggy and thinner.
7. Cut them into slices; about 1.5cm thin, then separate them to rings (Make sure you cut against the grain).
8. Coat the ring with batter, remove the excess batter and transfer it into the bread crumbs.
9. Coat the ring with bread crumbs evenly. (Tips: use a different fork for every section of step 3, coating with batter, bread crumbs and frying.)
10. Preheat the oil to 350F°. If you don't have an oil thermometer, stick in a wooden chopstick into the oil, if bubbles come out it's ready.
11. Slowly put in your ring into the oil and fry both sides until golden brown.
12. It will only take 1 minute or 2 minutes maximum.
13. Fish out your rings and transfer them to a cooling rack with paper towels underneath.
14. Serve when it's slightly cooled down and enjoy!

text: Czech tractors on Java In the late thirties K.N.I.L. organised several trials for its next generation of artillery tractors (see also the Wheeled Artillery Tractor page). Wheeled as well as tracked tractors were tested, the latter destined for towing the heavy Brandt 120mm mortars of which 30 were ordered around 1939. Tracked tractors (rupstrekkers) that were tested were Saurer (Austria), Praga/CKD T3 (Czecho- slovakia), Renault (unknown type), Marmon-Herrington T30, Vickers (Artillery, Fighting and Utility types). The Praga/CKD T3 (picture top right, from Vanderveen - the next two pics show the T3 during the trials on Java, source Indisch MIlitair Tijdschrift) was chosen and 40 were ordered. Though the Vickers artillery tractor passed all tests very well, it was considered "luxurious". The Praga T3, to be selected, would need some improvements, among which a more powerful engine (these were ordered with Volvo of Sweden), "open" tracks, a higher placed exhaust pipe and a waterproof floor as well as a DAF winch. The Praga's would not just tow the Brandt heavy mortars, but also replace the Caterpillars in the artillery battalions (they were to be transported on trailers towed by Trado-converted 6x6 Maple Leafs). The T3s would not be delivered in time (just like the heavy mortars by the way) and ended up serving with the German Forces in WW2. The Marmon- Herringtons were rejected among other reasons for their rubber tracks. All other tractors had steel tracks. Of the Vickers tractors three different types were tested: the Fighting tractor (some sort of forerunner of the Bren Carrier - see pictures number 4 and 5 to the right, courtesy Hans Heesakkers), the Artillery tractor and the Utility tractor (picture number 6 - courtesy Hans Heesakkers). Off course the Utility tractor was similar to the Tractors already in use with K.N.I.L. Picture number 7 (source Indisch MIlitair Tijschrift) shows the Vickers Artillery Tractor, a Vickers product that is very similar to the Dragon (from "drag gun") tractors of the British Army in the 1930s. These were built by ROF (Royal Ordnance Factory) and came in different types. In fact many of these tractors were in still service with the BEF (British Expeditionary Force) in France in 1940. The last picture (from the Belgian Cegesoma site) shows a ROF Light Dragon MKII entering Belgium during an ill-fated counter-attack in May 1940. It is towing a 2 pounder anti-tank gun and mounts a Bren gun for AA purposes (for more pictures see also The Overvalwagen Forum). As stated above, the Vickers Artillery Tractors proved to be excellent products during the trials. |

The visitors, who sacked Mick McCarthy in the wake of the derby drubbing by West Brom, looked dead and buried after Papiss Cisse and then Jonas Gutierrez had fired the Magpies into a 2-0 lead with just 18 minutes played.
However, in front of the disbelieving eyes of a crowd of 52,287, the avalanche failed to materialise and after Matt Jarvis had dragged the visitors back into the game five minutes into the second half, Doyle struck with 66 minutes gone to snatch a draw which dented the home side's hopes of putting pressure on the Premier League's top four.
Both sides had conceded five times in their previous game, but for 45 minutes, only one looked likely to repeat that feat this afternoon as the visitors' disappointing return in front of goal and inability to deny the opposition at the other end returned to haunt them.
In truth, Wolves enjoyed as much of the possession as their hosts, but where they huffed and puffed without ever really troubling keep Tim Krul, Newcastle managed to expose opposite number Wayne Hennessey almost at will, and beat him twice within the opening 18 minutes.
The Wales international found himself in the thick of the action almost from the off, although his side contributed to their own downfall as the first goal arrived with just six minutes played.
Yohan Cabaye, back from his three-match suspension to partner Cheick Tiote in his first appearance since the beginning of last month, caught Christophe Berra in possession and crossed for Demba Ba to audaciously back-heel a shot towards goal.
Hennessey pulled off a fine save to deny the Senegal international, but after the ball was scrambled clear, Tiote returned it with interest and Cisse turned his shot home.
The keeper kept Newcastle at bay with 17 minutes gone when he tipped Danny Simpson's searing drive over the bar, but he was beaten again within seconds.
Doyle's clearing header dropped to Gutierrez 25 yards out, and the Argentinian took a controlling touch before rifling a shot into the top corner.
For all that they had been plunged into a seemingly hopeless position, the visitors continued to pass the ball confidently with Jarvis down the left and right-back Ronald Zubar causing problems.
However, they were able to create little of note, along Krul did have to come quickly from his line to prevent Jarvis from picking up the pieces after Doyle's 36th-minute effort had been blocked.
Cisse had earlier flicked a header wide and Stephen Ward, who needed extensive treatment after being caught in a challenge with Ryan Taylor, covered superbly to block the same man's shot in front of goal with three minutes of the first half remaining.
But as the players left the pitch at half-time, there was cause for optimism in only one of the dressing rooms.
However, the mood changed markedly within five minutes of the restart as Wolves were granted a slice of the sort of good fortune which has eluded them for much of the season to date.
Jarvis cut inside from the left and fired in a shot which clipped full-back Simpson and looped high over Krul and into the net.
Cabaye dragged a shot just wide from 20 yards three minutes later, but Wanderers sensed an opportunity and might have been level with 54 minutes gone had Doyle managed to get a touch to Jamie O'Hara's cross as he dived in.
Newcastle's response was tepid to leave manager Alan Pardew a concerned man inside his technical area, and his mood will not have been improved by the sight of full-back Ward cutting inside to test Krul with a skidding shot which glanced off Tiote on its way to goal on the hour.
Cabaye and Ba failed to make the most of a 62nd-minute counter-attack with Newcastle looking increasingly disjointed, and Pardew immediately instructed Hatem Ben Arfa to warm up.
Ben Arfa and Danny Guthrie duly arrived in place of the limping Cisse and Taylor, but Wolves were level within seconds of their introduction.
Mike Williamson headed O'Hara's free-kick straight at Doyle, who reacted first to the rebound to poke the ball into the bottom corner.
In a frantic conclusion, it was Newcastle who could not rediscover their cutting edge with Wolves seeing out time under pressure, but with little genuine difficulty with Ben Arfa going close, but not close enough, twice in a frustrating finish to the game.
Doyle earns Wolves unlikely draw

Take a moment to call your state representatives and ask…no tell them to not support on line censorship, by not supporting the PIPA and SOPA.
Here is an easy link to find your representative and call them. and below more information.
This is all such a pain in the ass! So often I just need to work and do not want to take the time to call my representative [and talk to staffer that does not care about me]…but sometimes you just have to do it.
Corporate supporters of Senate 968 (PIPA) and HR 3261 (SOPA) demand the ability to take down any web site (including craigslist, Wikipedia, or Google) that hurts their profits — without prior judicial oversight or due process — in the name of combating "online piracy."
PIPA and SOPA authors and supporters insist they'd only go after foreign piracy sites, but Internet Engineers understand this is an attempt to impose "Big Brother" controls on our Internet, complete with DNS hijacking and censoring search results. Incredibly, many Congress Members favor this idea.
<RANT>Try to imagine jack-booted thugs throttling free speech, poisoning the Internet (greatest of American inventions, the very pillar of modern democracy), and devastating one of the our most successful industries. Totalitarian, anti-American, massively-job-killing nonsense.</RANT>

Where does your Member of Congress stand on PIPA and SOPA? (Project SOPA Opera)
PIPA and SOPA Are Too Dangerous To Revise, They Must Be Killed Entirely
Congress needs to hear from you, or these dangerous bills will pass – they have tremendous lobbying dollars behind them, from corporations experts say are attempting to prop up outdated, anti-consumer business models at the expense of the very fabric of the Internet — recklessly unleashing a tsunami of take-down notices and litigation, and a Pandora's jar of "chilling effects" and other unintended (or perhaps intended?) consequences.
Don't believe it? Monster Cable has labeled craigslist a "rogue site," earmarked for blacklisting and full-takedown under PIPA — resale of stereo cables by CL users reduces Monster 's new cable sales. (reddit).
There is still time to be heard. Congress is starting to backpedal on this job-killing, anti-American nonsense, and the Obama administration has weighed in against these bills as drafted, but SOPA/PIPA cannot be fixed or revised — they must be killed altogether.
Sen Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Rep Ron Wyden (D-OR) are championing an alternative to SOPA/PIPA called Online Protection and Enforcement of Digital Trade Act (OPEN) that addresses foreign sites dedicated to piracy, without disrupting basic Internet protocols, or threatening mainstream US sites like craigslist.
Tim O'Reilly, a publisher who is himself subject to piracy, asks whether piracy is even a problem, and whether there is even a legitimate need for any of these bills.

The Passing Of `The Shell Man'
byFor 50 years, Royal Dutch/Shell Group has been a model multinational: a loose federation of operating companies with a well-trained cadre of mobile managers and a light touch from central offices. Those methods have been much envied and often copied.
But now, the company's 105,000 employees have gotten a strong signal that their revered way of life has to change. That's the message from Chairman Cornelius A.J. Herkstruter, who announced a radical restructuring on Mar. 29. Shell is instituting a tighter, more centralized operation, where newly appointed teams of senior executives will oversee global divisions such as exploration and production and chemicals.
"DIFFERENT WORLD." The abrupt switch shows that the structure of big companies isn't just an academic exercise but a vital line of command that can determine victory or defeat in the global economy. Shell's old system, says Herkstruter, was "designed for a different era, for a different world." This approach, dubbed the "matrix system," divvied up power and responsibilities according to an organizational chart that even management consultants found confusing. A single finance executive, for example, would report to a country or regional head, a business-sector head such as a refinery manager, and a functional head such as the chief financial officer.
The idea was to give local managers authority while encouraging a process of consensus that avoided rash action. But over the decades, the matrix has evolved into a bureaucracy resembling a large country's civil service. All these layers have slowed down decision-making, and that is costing Shell money. "They always believed they were getting the best of both worlds in a matrix structure. To admit they weren't is a very dramatic step," says Andrew Campbell, director of London's Ashridge Strategic Management Center.
What's surprising about Shell is that at first glance such a wrenching change looks unnecessary. The company just announced record 1994 earnings of $6.4 billion, a 24% increase over 1993, on sales of $134 billion. But Shell executives are worried about the future. Exploration and production earnings dropped 16%, and those from downstream refining and marketing fell 12% last year. Shell was only able to boost earnings because the chemical unit picked up the slack. Shell's performance "is not as good as it needs to be," says Herkstruter.
The pressure will just increase. Because of oversupply, most oil industry leaders accept that prices will not rise significantly for years. Yet costs for drilling in remote places and deep waters have skyrocketed, and downstream margins are under attack by new players, such as supermarkets selling unbranded gasoline. Meanwhile, other oil majors have been axing costs faster. Shell's 10.8% return on capital, says analyst Fergus Macleod of NatWest Securities in Edinburgh, is average for the oil majors. But by 1998, it will be among the lowest in the group unless the company gets costs down. An executive with a rival oil company says he doesn't like to participate in joint ventures with Shell because Shell's huge overhead drives up the final bill, which he then has to share.
HUGE CUTS? In Shell's operating companies, managers have already been furiously cutting, with Shell UK Ltd. trimming $200 million and Shell Germany $100 million in annual costs. It wasn't enough. One company insider says Herkstruter was being told constantly "that the system itself needed to change. So much bureaucracy had built up, we couldn't change it unless we got rid of it." After last month's speech, delivered on the same day at both headquarters in London and The Hague, some employees even applauded Herkstruter.
They may not be applauding once all the implications of this bold step become clear. A key issue is what will happen to the corporate culture when Shell's executives, bred for lifetime loyalty, realize they are expendable. Shell has long relied on teams of executives--mostly men--who are carefully selected from universities and turned into multilingual, globe-trotting managers steeped in Shell's ways.
Yet analysts think Shell will probably need to lose up to 30,000 jobs to catch up with competitors. And many of those let go will be managers. "This is probably the beginning of the end for the Shell man," says Alan Marshall, a Swiss Bank Corp. analyst. Shell will find out how painful it is for even a model corporation to transform itself.

When Bob Cullen took a job with the Riverside County Flood Control District, his supervisors put him to work immediately on the proposed Arroyo del Toro channel in Lake Elsinore.
âOn my first day at the flood control district in 1986, I was working on some of the hydrology calculations on this project,â said Cullen, now the districtâs chief of design and construction.
Twenty-eight years later, the channel designed to curtail chronic flooding surrounding Collier Avenue and Riverside Drive in northern Lake Elsinore is finally getting built.
âIâm extraordinarily happy to see it,â Cullen said.
So are the folks who oversee the Elsinore Valley Cemetery, whose property between the intersection and Interstate 15 has been routinely flooded after heavy rains for several decades.
âTheyâve been working on this for a long time so itâs fantastic that theyâre finally getting it together,â said Tim Underwood, chairman of the public cemetery districtâs board.
Officials recognized the need for the project after disastrous flooding occurred in the early 1980s. In 1986, Cullen said, it was earmarked for funding through a special tax district set up in Lake Elsinore to finance public works.
The project consists of building concrete structures that will funnel storm water spilling through culverts under Interstate 15 to Collier Marsh northwest of the intersection.
About 3,800 feet in length, the channel will run northwest a short distance along the freeway, bend to the southwest under the cemetery and across Collier, curve northwest across Riverside Drive and empty into Collier Marsh. About one third of the channel will be open, while the rest will consist of an underground culvert.
Building it will require 5,000 cubic yards of concrete and the excavation of 44,000 cubic yards of dirt, Cullen said.
The sheer size and expense of the project as well as environmental complications and negotiations with property owners delayed its progress down through the years, Cullen said.
âPlanning was going on in fits and starts almost the entire time, but the design part only started about five years ago,â he said. âBecause the outfall (in Collier Marsh) is in a sensitive environmental area, it took extensive time to work through the details. ⦠We had essentially three different property owners to deal with beginning with the cemetery district.â
Also, he said because Collier and Riverside Drive are part of state Highway 74, the district had to navigate through Caltrans requirements.
âAn open-cut state highway is always a bureaucratic challenge,â he said, referring to the roadâs numerous access points and crossings.
Ultimately, the projectâs total cost was placed at $8 million and the county awarded a $5.1 million construction contract last fall to Murrieta-based KIP Inc. Lake Elsinore kicked in $461,572 toward the cost while Caltrans contributed $250,000.

An asteroid due to whizz past the Earth this week could take out vital telecommunications satellites, scientists warn. They are sure there is no chance of the 45.7 metre wide space rock hitting the planet. However, there is a remote possibility that it could collide with one of more than 100 telecommunication and weather satellites in fixed orbits above the Earth.
The asteroid, 2012 DA14, has been closely tracked since its discovery a year ago, 'The Telegraph' reported. It is predicted to reach its nearest point to the Earth on Friday. Experts have calculated it will stay at least 27,681 km away – easily far enough to be safe, but a very close shave in astronomical terms. Scientists have never observed such a narrow miss before.

Dr Dan Brown, from Nottingham Trent University, said telecommunication satellites – that ping data between our mobile phones – could be in danger. Travelling at between 20,000 kph and 30,000 kph, or eight times the speed of a rifle bullet – the asteroid will fly inside the orbits of high geostationary satellites some 35,406 km above the Earth. "These are the satellites that provide us with telecommunications and weather forecasts," said Brown.
"There are loads of them but you're talking about a very big area. It would be very unlucky if a satellite was hit. The asteroid is more likely to hit some space junk, but most of this is only about a centimetre across and the impact won't even be noticed," said Brown. Through binoculars, the object should be visible as a tiny dot of light crossing the sky.

Part of what gets me excited about Denver's theater scene is its continuous support of new talent from around the country. That endeavor takes center stage (pun intended) during the Denver Center Theatre Company's annual Colorado New Play Summit (February 8–10, 2013). The weekend is a showcase for both established and upcoming American playwrights; the public enjoys performances while sitting alongside professionals such as artistic directors, dramaturges, and more. The official lineup, which includes five staged readings and two world premieres, was announced yesterday.
The Most Deserving: Georgia-born playwright Catherine Trieschmann takes a comedic look at what happens when arts and politics collide as a small-town Kansas art council is charged with awarding $20,000 to a deserving local artist.
The Legend of Georgia McBride: Casey is having a tough time. The rent's due but he's broke; his wife just learned that she's pregnant; and his boss replaces his Elvis impersonator act with a drag show. Music and humor converge in Matthew Lopez's latest.
The Vast In-Between: The Denver Center commissioned this piece by Laura Eason, which shines the spotlight on relationships in modern economic realities. Cate's marriage takes a hit when her unemployed husband refuses to settle in his job search. At the same time, it's discovered that the man down the street has had two families in two different cities for years. Cate may just find herself drawn into her own double life.
Just Like Us: Based on the book by the first lady of Colorado, Helen Thorpe, this adaptation follows four Latina girls (two who are documented, two who are not) as they navigate high school and beyond.
Black Odyssey: Homer's Odysseus is recast as a black soldier returning home from a tour in the Gulf War. Playwright Marcus Gardley meshes old-world myths with contemporary reality as Greek archetypes take new forms.
Grace, or the Art of Climbing: A hit at last year's Summit, Lauren Feldman's story gets world premiere, full-stage treatment (pictured, above). Rock climbing becomes the axis for a youthful athlete facing doubt and depression as she trains for a world climbing competition.
Ed, Downloaded: The second (and final) full production and world premiere at this year's Summit comes from Michael Mitnick. Ed gets a second go at life when he's offered the chance to become immortal by having his brain downloaded. He can pick 10 memories to take with him into eternity—but when his girlfriend discovers they're memories of another woman, things take a dramatic turn.
Full summit passes are available now for $225 (they include guaranteed seating at all readings, admission to two world premieres, meals, receptions, and hotel discounts). Tickets for individual readings go on sale in early January.

9.1: The Pythagorean Theorem
This activity is intended to supplement Geometry, Chapter 8, Lesson 1.
Time required: 60 minutes
Activity Overview
In this activity, students will use the Cabri Jr. application to construct figures that prove the Pythagorean Theorem in two different ways.
Topic: Right Triangles & Trigonometric Ratios
- Construct and measure the side lengths of several right triangles and conjecture a relationship between the areas of the squares drawn on each side.
- Prove and apply the Pythagorean Theorem.
Teacher Preparation
- This activity is designed to be used in a high school or middle school geometry classroom.
- This activity is designed to be student-centered with the teacher acting as a facilitator while students work cooperatively. Use the following pages as a framework as to how the activity will progress. Feel free to print out the following pages for your students.
- The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs. This can be expressed as \begin{align*}c^2 = a^2 + b^2\end{align*} where \begin{align*}c\end{align*} is the length of the hypotenuse.
- Depending on student skill level, you may wish to download the constructed figures to student calculators. If the files are downloaded, skip the construction steps for each problem and begin each at Step 10.
- Note: Measurements can display 0, 1, or 2 decimal digits. If 0 digits are displayed, the value shown will round from the actual value. To change the number of digits displayed:
- Move the cursor over the value so it is highlighted.
- Press + to display additional decimal digits or - to hide digits.
- To download Cabri Jr, go to http://www.education.ti.com/calculators/downloads/US/Software/Detail?id=258#.
- To download the calculator files, go to http://www.education.ti.com/calculators/downloads/US/Activities/Detail?id=9532 and select PYTHAG1 and PYTHAG2.
Associated Materials
- Student Worksheet: The Pythagorean Theorem http://www.ck12.org/flexr/chapter/9693
- Cabri Jr. Application
- PYTHAG1.8xv and PYTHAG2.8xv
Problem 1 – Squares on Sides Proof
The Pythagorean Theorem states that, the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs. In this activity, you will construct a right triangle and verify the Pythagorean Theorem by constructing squares on each side and comparing the sum of the area of the two smaller squares to the area of the square of the third side.
Step 1: Open a new Cabri Jr. file.
Construct a segment using the Segment tool.
Select the Alph-Num tool to label the endpoints \begin{align*}B\end{align*} and \begin{align*}C\end{align*} as shown.
Step 2: Construct a line through \begin{align*}C\end{align*} that is perpendicular to \begin{align*}\overline{BC}\end{align*} using the Perp. tool.
Step 3: Construct a point on the perpendicular line and label it \begin{align*}A\end{align*}.
Hide the perpendicular line with the Hide/Show tool and construct line segments \begin{align*}\overline{AC}\end{align*} and \begin{align*}\overline{AB}\end{align*}.
For the time being, keep the sides of the triangle fairly small so that squares can be constructed on the sides.
Step 4: In the lower left corner, use the Alph-Num tool to place the number 90 on the screen. This will be the angle of rotation.
Note: Press ALPHA to access numerical characters. A small "1" will appear in the tool icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
Step 5: Use the Rotation tool to rotate point \begin{align*}C\end{align*} about point \begin{align*}B\end{align*} through an angle of \begin{align*}90^\circ\end{align*}.
- Press ENTER on point \begin{align*}B\end{align*} as the center of rotation.
- Press ENTER on the angle of rotation (the number 90).
- Press ENTER on point \begin{align*}C\end{align*}, the object to be rotated.
Notice that the number now has a degree symbol associated with it and that the point has been rotated in the counter-clockwise direction.
Step 6: What we want to do next is to rotate point \begin{align*}B\end{align*} about point \begin{align*}C\end{align*} through an angle of \begin{align*}90^\circ\end{align*} in the clockwise direction. To do this we will need an angle of -90. Place this number on the screen.
Using the value of -90, rotate point \begin{align*}B\end{align*} about point \begin{align*}C\end{align*} through an angle of \begin{align*}-90^\circ\end{align*}.
Step 7: You should now have two points below the line segment \begin{align*}\overline{BC}\end{align*}. Use the Quad. tool to construct a quadrilateral using points \begin{align*}B\end{align*}, \begin{align*}C\end{align*} and the two points constructed in Steps 5 and 6.
Answer Question 1 on the worksheet.
Step 8: In a similar fashion, rotate point \begin{align*}C\end{align*} about point \begin{align*}A\end{align*} through an angle of \begin{align*}-90^\circ\end{align*} and rotate point \begin{align*}A\end{align*} about point \begin{align*}C\end{align*} through an angle of \begin{align*}90^\circ\end{align*}. This will allow us to construct a second square.
Use the Quad. tool again to construct the square on side \begin{align*}\overline{AC}\end{align*}.
Step 9: Finally, rotate point \begin{align*}B\end{align*} about point \begin{align*}A\end{align*} through an angle of \begin{align*}90^\circ\end{align*} and rotate point \begin{align*}A\end{align*} about point \begin{align*}B\end{align*} through an angle of \begin{align*}-90^\circ\end{align*}.
Then construct a third square on hypotenuse \begin{align*}\overline{AB}\end{align*}.
Step 10: Start with this step if you are using the pre-constructed file "PYTHAG1".
Select the Measure > Area tool and measure the area of the three squares.
Step 11: Using the Calculate tool, press ENTER on the measurements of the two smaller squares and then press the + key. Place the sum off to the side of the screen.
How does this sum compare to the square of the hypotenuse? Record your observations in the table for Question 2 on the worksheet.
Step 12: To test your construction, drag points \begin{align*}A\end{align*}, \begin{align*}B\end{align*} and/or \begin{align*}C\end{align*} to a new location on the screen.
Answer Question 3 on the worksheet.
Problem 2 – Inside a Square Proof
In this problem, we are going to look at a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. We hope to prove the statement that, if \begin{align*}z\end{align*} is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle and \begin{align*}x\end{align*} and \begin{align*}y\end{align*} are the lengths of the legs of the right triangle, then \begin{align*}z^2 = x^2 + y^2\end{align*}.
Step 1: Construct a line segment \begin{align*}\overline{AB}\end{align*}.
Use the Alph-Num tool to place the value \begin{align*}90\end{align*} on your screen.
Step 2: Access the Rotation tool and press ENTER on point \begin{align*}A\end{align*} as the center of the rotation, then on 90 as the angle of rotation and finally on line segment \begin{align*}\overline{AB}\end{align*} as the object to be rotated.
Label the new point \begin{align*}D\end{align*}.
Step 3: Continue by rotating line segment \begin{align*}\overline{AD}\end{align*} about point \begin{align*}D\end{align*} through an angle of \begin{align*}90^\circ\end{align*}.
Label the new point \begin{align*}C\end{align*}.
Step 4: Complete the square by constructing line segment \begin{align*}\overline{BC}\end{align*}.
Step 5: Using the Point on tool, add point \begin{align*}E\end{align*} on \begin{align*}\overline{AB}\end{align*} as shown and overlay a line segment \begin{align*}\overline{BE}\end{align*}.
Step 6: Select the Compass tool to construct circles with radius equal to the length of \begin{align*}\overline{BE}\end{align*}.
- Press ENTER on \begin{align*}\overline{BE}\end{align*}. A dashed circle will appear and follow the pointer.
- Press ENTER on point \begin{align*}A\end{align*}. The compass circle is anchored at center \begin{align*}A\end{align*}.
Create a point of intersection of this circle with \begin{align*}\overline{AD}\end{align*}. Label this point \begin{align*}F\end{align*}.
Hide the compass circle.
Step 7: Use the Compass tool again to construct circles with centers at \begin{align*}C\end{align*} and \begin{align*}D\end{align*} and radius \begin{align*}= BE\end{align*}.
Create points of intersection of these circles with \begin{align*}\overline{DC}\end{align*} and \begin{align*}\overline{BC}\end{align*}. Label these points \begin{align*}G\end{align*} and \begin{align*}H\end{align*}.
Hide the compass circles.
Drag point \begin{align*}E\end{align*} to confirm that \begin{align*}F\end{align*}, \begin{align*}G\end{align*}, and \begin{align*}H\end{align*} all move as \begin{align*}E\end{align*} moves.
Step 8: Construct the quadrilateral \begin{align*}EFGH\end{align*}. Can you prove that this quadrilateral is a square?
Step 9: Use the Alph-Num tool to place the labels \begin{align*}x\end{align*}, \begin{align*}y\end{align*}, and \begin{align*}z\end{align*} on the figure as shown.
\begin{align*}\overline{BE}\end{align*} is labeled \begin{align*}x\end{align*}, therefore \begin{align*}AF = DG = CH = x\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}\overline{EA}\end{align*} is labeled \begin{align*}y\end{align*}, therefore \begin{align*}FD = GC = HB = y\end{align*}.
Since \begin{align*}ABCD\end{align*} is a square, each of the angles at \begin{align*}A\end{align*}, \begin{align*}B\end{align*}, \begin{align*}C\end{align*} and \begin{align*}D\end{align*} are \begin{align*}90^\circ\end{align*}, so we have four congruent triangles, namely \begin{align*}\triangle{EFA}, \triangle{FGD}, \triangle{GHC}\end{align*} and \begin{align*}\triangle{HEB}\end{align*}.
Step 10: Start with this step if you are using the pre-constructed file "PYTHAG2".
Let's examine the algebra in this situation.
\begin{align*}ABCD\end{align*} is a square with sides of length \begin{align*}(x + y)\end{align*}.
The area of the square \begin{align*}ABCD\end{align*} is \begin{align*}(x + y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2\end{align*}.
Each of the triangles \begin{align*}\triangle{EFA}\end{align*}, \begin{align*}\triangle{FGD}\end{align*}, \begin{align*}\triangle{GHC}\end{align*} and \begin{align*}\triangle{HEB}\end{align*} is a right triangle with height \begin{align*}x\end{align*} and base \begin{align*}y\end{align*}. So, the area of each triangle is \begin{align*}\frac{1}{2}xy\end{align*}. The sum of the areas of the four triangles is \begin{align*}4 \cdot \frac{1}{2}xy=2xy\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}EFGH\end{align*} is a square with sides of length \begin{align*}z\end{align*}. So the area of \begin{align*}EFGH\end{align*} is \begin{align*}z^2\end{align*}.
Looking at the areas in the diagram we can conclude that:
\begin{align*}ABCD = \triangle{EFA} + \triangle{FGD} + \triangle{GHC} + \triangle{HEB} + EFGH\end{align*}
On the worksheet, substitute the area expressions (with variables \begin{align*}x\end{align*}, \begin{align*}y\end{align*}, and \begin{align*}z\end{align*}) into the equation above and simplify.
Step 11: Let's look at this numerically as well to confirm what we just proved algebraically. Measure \begin{align*}\overline{BE}\end{align*}, \begin{align*}\overline{HB}\end{align*} and \begin{align*}\overline{EH}\end{align*}.
Note: Measure \begin{align*}\overline{HB}\end{align*} and \begin{align*}\overline{EH}\end{align*} by pressing ENTER on each endpoint, since these do not have separate segments constructed.
Use the Calculate tool to find the squares of these lengths.
Record your observations in the table for Question 6 on the worksheet.
Step 12: Find the sum of the squares of the lengths of segments \begin{align*}\overline{BE}\end{align*} and \begin{align*}\overline{HB}\end{align*}.
In the right triangle \begin{align*}HBE\end{align*}, is \begin{align*}BE^2 + HB^2 = EH^2\end{align*}?
Drag point \begin{align*}E\end{align*} to ensure that the relationship holds for other locations of the points \begin{align*}E\end{align*}, \begin{align*}F\end{align*}, \begin{align*}G\end{align*}, and \begin{align*}H\end{align*}.
What would happen if you dragged one of points \begin{align*}A\end{align*} or \begin{align*}B\end{align*}? Would the relationship still hold?
Answers Questions 7 and 8 on the worksheet.

Objects like this were left at healing sanctuaries and other religious sites as offerings to gods such as Asklepios, the Greco-Roman god of medicine. It was intended either to indicate the part of the body that needed help or as thanks for a cure. In this example an individual's intestines and abdominal organs are represented. Made from bronze or terracotta, as in this case, a large range of different votive body parts were made and offered up in their thousands. Although it originated in earlier cultures, this practice became very popular in Roman Italy – particularly between the 400s and 100s BCE.

CLEMSON, S.C. Clemson University student Nathan Weaver just wanted to put together a project to help figure out the best way to assist turtles in crossing the road. But he also ended up with a peek into the dark souls of some human beings.
Read more here: http://www.heraldonline.com/2012/12/27/4507782/clemson-students-turtle-project.html#storylink=cpy
(Excerpt) Read more at heraldonline.com ...
Last fall there was a large land turtle crossing the County Road between Montpelier and our house. The car ahead of me stopped, and we waited for it to finish crossing. My wife and two of my children told me later that day that they also encountered the turtle crossing the road. Apparently, it went back and forth across the road all day, maybe hauling back food for its winter store or something.
Anyway, everybody stopped for it. No squashed turtle.
If we can do it safely, so do we. Last Summer, my husband tried to assist a Maryland Terrapin across the road. I am telling you this turtle was the meanest thing! Hissed, snapped and just raised quite the ruckus. When my husband finally got it into some tall grass (a marsh), the turtle turned around, hissed one more time and went on his merry way. No wonder U of Md has it as a mascot... they are quite attitudinal. LOL!
I do also if the traffic permits it. This is another example of power or actually perceived power. People are feeling more and more powerless in their daily lives and killing a small creature shows the animal who is boss. It's not just turtles either. How can someone run over a raccoon or opossum in a 25 or 30 mile speed zone? I can understand on a major highway but in residential communities there is no excuse for not steering around it.
even in today's more enlightened, modern world, sometimes humans feel a need to prove they are the dominant species on this planet
I can't believe this is allegedly an AP news story and not an editorial the way it is written.
I drive like they are democrats headed across the road for 0bama phones and free birth control.
I've pulled off the road to move turtles. I don't understand how anyone could deliberately want to hit something. I had a bird once fly in front of my car window, hit the front and plop dead on the hood. I pulled off the road, saw the little guy was a goner and cried. Took about ten minutes before I was ok enough to get back in the car and drive home.
I like the comment with the idea of making foam rubber turtle replicas with big metal spikes in them and positioning them so a driver has to go out of the way to hit them.
why would anyone be surprised by this...if we can murder millions of innocent babies why wouldn't we try to mow down turtles?
seriously lets get our priorities straight here... while we should treat all of God's creatures humanely our thoughts should first be on how we treat our fellow man.
I completely agree. And for the record, I have never hit a turtle. I have unintentionally hit a few animals, squirrels and deer mostly; even though I was going less than 30 mph in some instances.
Last summer I was driving out to our farm with my nephew following with his two small sons to go fishing. I hit a squirrel. I mean it went flying. I later asked my nephew whether his sons had seen it and fortunately they had not. One of my sons has a bumper sticker that reads, "Squirrels, nature's little speed bumps." But he's a kind soul and would never intentionally harm an animal. One other story regarding turtles, always take them across in the direction they are going or they will simply turn around and cross the road again. And yes, snappers which in Kansas can grow to ten or twelve pounds, are mean critters and can take off your finger.
Wouldn't a hard shell animal damage the car/paint? Doesn't make sense.
Sounds like a case for government intervention. /s
I go out of my way to steer my car at crows feeding on roadkill, but it mostly a form of mutual amusement...I know I am never going to hit the crow, and the crow knows he is never going to let himself get hit.
He contemptuously hops out of the way, and by the time the roadkill appears in my rearview mirror again, his beak is buried deep.
I avoid hitting anything as long as I can do it safely without causing a traffic issue.
Are you hard of reading? It is attributed to a comment by a professor.
I hope that student realizes that if someone had an accident because of her stunt, and was injured, she'd be facing a FELONY charge.
Can you not see the paragraph break between two separate comments?
Kansas snappers can be every bit of 20+ lbs and 18 inch wide shells. I know I moved one out of an intersection in my folks neighborhood with a scoop shovel. It was in the middle of the intersection turning itself to watch cars go by and there were quite a few motorists trying to get it to crawl away which it had no intention of doing. I tell you this thing was a monster and didnt appreciate my efforts to move it with the shovel.
I feel I am accumulating good luck or good karma doing it ....so I will always help the turtle across the road. Some tribes called it Turtle Island, where we live
It's pretty weird that some people feel the need to run over small animals.
My rule is pretty simply. Any animal other than a squirrel I will try to avoid hitting them. I will not put my self in danger trying to avoid them.
Squirrels on the other hand do not get the courtesy of me trying to avoid them. I will not try to run them over, but will not try to avoid them either.
The reason being I once tried to avoid a squirrel and wound up rolling a pick up truck. Yes, all squirrels must pay for the mistake of one squirrel.
There's a large park across the street from my house, many oak trees and many squirrels, they frequently cross the street to my yard because I have two walnut trees. I don't care, they can have all the walnuts they want but I've observed them many times, dart out into the street, regardless of whether a car is coming or not and stop dead in their tracks in the path of an oncoming vehicle, vehicle swerves to avoid them but at the same time said squirrel decides to move on, resulting frequently in a smashed squirrel.
It happened to me with a cat, I swerved to avoid him and instead ran over him, it wasn't intentional, animals are unpredictable is all.
Yep, there are people who needlessly take life. There are probably way more who run over animals because they are inconvenient, they slow them down and make them late and make them use more gas. It's sort of like the difference between the nut job in Connecticut and people who are for abortion.
How about you put an IED in the turtle so when a driver steers to squash him he gets a wheel blown off.
Were you in a Geico commercial?
10000 comments at yahoo news for this story. Most I have ever seen
Some people really ARE a one act show!
I can't believe you really believe that
No. The barf alert should be for idiot responses like yours and the next one
Around here, if traffic is light enough, roadkill gets moved out of the roadway. Most residents here wear boots—not open toed shoes!
Not bad but I think the spike is simpler, cheaper and only the sociopath gets hurt
Good point. Believe it or not rabbit bones can pierce a car radiator if you hit one in a low car at high speed and it bounces. The odds go up if you hit 20 or 30 of them over the course of a long night's drive. It actually happened to me long ago. Fortunately it was a cool evening and I didn't even notice the damage until after I got home the next day.
No, was there a Geico commercial about this?
I ended up on some guy's front lawn while swerving for a squirrel. Chased the damn thing across two more lawns before I finally got him........
If you don't run over them the get into the sewers and mutate into teenage ninjas.
hmmm..... are you really trying to say that perseverating over why people feel the need to squash turtles trumps defending the unborn?
if more people cared about human babies instead of reptiles perhaps our nation would be better off
I will use any opportunity to defend the defenseless. If that makes me "a one act show" than so be it.
Since it was coming from a wooded area, I suspect it had just laid eggs and was heading back....
There are threads for babies and the occasional thread for turtles........THIS one is for turtles....
If you were to reread my initial post it was indeed relevant to the discussion of turtles, let me expound upon my initial point. In the natural order of things human beings are more complex organisms than our reptilian friends. As a species if we are capable of culling our own then why would we be surprised when we show disregard for a creature that is clearly inferior to ourselves. This is a commentary on human nature and is relevant to the point of the article which addresses "human beings darker nature."
Roads are for automobiles. It's up to everything and everybody else using the roads to adapt.
Turtlle soup
2 pounds boneless turtle meat
3 cups water
1 medium onion, quartered
1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
½ large bell pepper, coarsely chopped
2 bay leaves
⅛ teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped bell pepper
½ cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
5 cups reserved turtle stock
½ cup red wine
¼ cup dry sherry
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon hot sauce
¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoon flour
¼ cup minced parsley
¼ cup minced green onions
2 boiled eggs, peeled & chopped
4 tablespoon dry sherry
Combine turtle meat, water, quartered onion, celery, bell pepper, 2 bay leaves, ⅛ teaspoon cracked black pepper, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic in a 4-quart pot. Bring to boil, lower fire to medium and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Drain stock through mesh strainer, reserving stock in bowl. Allow meat to cool, then separate from rest of ingredients discarding everything but the turtle meat. Coarse chop the meat and set aside.
Heat butter in pot, add onions, celery, bell pepper and garlic. Sauté for 10 minutes over medium fire. Add thyme, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes and continue to cook until water from tomatoes evaporates.
Add tomato sauce, 5 cups reserved turtle stock, red wine, sherry, salt, hot sauce, cracked pepper, bay leaves and Worcestershire sauce. Cover pot and simmer for 30 minutes over medium fire.
In small sauté pan heat butter until melted over medium-low fire. Place melted butter in a bowl and stir in flour until completely blended. Whisk butter-flour roux into soup and allow soup to simmer for 1 minute until blended and soup thickens slightly.
Add turtle meat, cover pot and cook for additional 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mince boiled eggs and set aside. Stir parsley and green onions into turtle soup.
Divide turtle soup between 4 bowls and top each with minced egg and 1 tablespoon dry sherry.
Most roads are covered under common law 'right-of-way', which predates the automobile. That's one reason why interstates are a 'national defense' program, so that non-motorized traffic can be kept off, which couldn't be done otherwise.
Whatever keeps non-motorized traffic off the roads is fine with me.
Sometimes those critters change direction while you're trying to steer around them, and they end up running right under the wheel.
Thanks. I love snapper stew. But there is a big difference between harvesting an animal for food and gratuitously,needlessly and brutally snuffing out a life
Never let an "accident" go to waste!

Visit a tropical island that's far from paradise in Far Cry 3 for Xbox 360...
Far Cry 3 puts you into the sandy shoes of Jason Brody, who's tropical holiday takes a turn for the very worst when your travelling companions are killed one by one, leaving you alone to survive on an island where surprises lurk behind every corner.
The Lost Expeditions Edition:
- 2 Suspenseful Action Missions - Forgotten Experiment and Ignition in the Deep
- MP: Type 10 Japanese Flare gun
Forgotten Experiment: Trapped inside a forgotten research facility, Jason discovers that the only way out is through the crumbling WWII ruins. But if Jason hopes to escape, he'll have to activate the old experiments and unleash the electric storm that could kill him.
Ignition in the Deep: Inside an abandoned WWII military silo, the only thing standing between Jason and freedom are pirates and a forgotten missile leaking a lake of fuel. One stray bullet and the entire complex goes up in flames, forcing Jason to rely on his wits and stealth to survive.
Key Features of Far Cry 3 on Xbox 360
- An immersive, open-world environment to explore
- Play your way to survive the island – and insanity
- Unique first-person combat
- Intense multiplayer with separate co-op campaign
Far Cry 3 is like no other first-person sandbox game. Balancing the light and dark elements of the first two Far Cry games, Far Cry 3 presents an island filled with dangers, and where staying sane amongst the insanity is the most important tool to survive.
The island itself is an immersive open-world environment ready for you to explore. Boasting stunning visuals that bring the sun, sand, sea and jungles of the island to life and environmental effects so real you practically feel the heat of the sun, the cool of the breeze, and the trees and underbrush of the jungle as you pass through it.
But that's just the beginning. The free-roaming, sandbox gameplay means that you can play Far Cry 3 your way on an island filled with friends, enemies and surprises - and where almost every turn will uncover something new. There are plenty of side missions to undertake, as well as the need to gather the materials you need to keep yourself alive as you make your way around the island. Play it safe, play it stealthily, or play it guns blazing. Take your time, or take it right to the bad guys. But whichever route you take, the goal is the same – win over the different territories of the island and liberate it from the vicious Vaas.
Far Cry 3 offers some very different combat to other first person shooters. The island gives you the opportunity for a wide choice of weapons, from the expected guns, rifles and rockets, to throwing knives and bow-and-arrow. The first person gameplay is further enhanced with the way you get around the island, with jeeps, hang-gliders, zip lines and more. As well as the nefarious forces at work on the island, there's deadly wildlife to worry about too. Wild dogs, sharks, shoals of fish, caged bears – all will require your own brand of animal control, and some maybe used against your enemies too!
As you advance around the island, you will gain skills and 'powers' that will enhance your strength, speed, shooting skill and more. A tattoo on your left arm will gradually evolve the more skills you acquire.
Multiplayer in Far Cry 3 offers a brand new co-op campaign that is just as immersive as the single-player experience. Four new characters are introduced, former cruise ship workers who were sold-out by their captain, who then snap and chase him across the island. Armed with makeshift equipment like burning oil and a gas that plays with your mind, multiplayer in Far Cry 3 rewards teamwork, with these rewards giving you the currency needed to enhance and customise your character to suit your playing style.
The multiplayer experience is an improvement on previous Far Cry games, with a greater in-depth map editor that allows you to build and share your maps with other players in the online community, and the bulletin board and stats kept out of the game itself, meaning there are no distractions from the mission at hand.

Herbal Remedies For Swollen Lymph Nodes
A very important organ of the immune system, the lymph nodes can sometimes get infected and swell due to a viral infection, in reaction to a foreign body or even cancer. Herbs that have powerful anti inflammatory properties can help reduce the pain and tenderness that is common when the lymph nodes enlarge. This said, it is important to continue with the drugs that have been prescribed by your doctor so that the infection is controlled. Herbs can only provide relief from symptoms and reduce the inflammation and hence one must not depend solely on them. Some common herbs that can be used as an alternative therapy for swollen lymph nodes are given below.
Home Remedies For Swollen Lymph Nodes
Green Tea- Extracts called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in green tea help reduce the node size by an impressive 50 % in those who are suffering from cancer and exhibit enlarged lymph nodes as a symptom. This was concluded in a recent study and shows how green tea can be used as a treatment option along with chemotherapy.
Turmeric - This spice can be used as a natural supplement for reducing inflammation and tenderness of the lymph. It is also rich in antioxidants that help increase resistance to infections. Dry and powdered turmeric is easily available and a small pinch added to food is an easy way to reap benefits.
Garlic- The important effects of antioxidants in garlic is reduced infection and this also applies to nodes that are swollen and inflamed. Garlic is available in many forms like aged extract, dry, powdered and fresh. Talk to your doctor about the right dose to follow as it can interact with common prescription drugs and cause side effects.
Peppermint – The active ingredient in mint leaves namely menthol, has antiviral properties that helps reduce severity of the infection and aids in faster healing. A juice made with fresh leaves or mint tea can be had twice a day to give relief.
Swollen lymph nodes can be safely managed by these herbal remedies that also boost immunity and improve general well-being. Always take your doctor's opinion before you begin an alternative treatment. .

I've wanted to make such a glove for a long time, and while I'm not one that wants to add yet another hobby of bobbin lace, well, I may as well learn how and get some made for my costuming needs.
However, I also don't want to spend lots of money on a pillow I might only use a few times. But I did get a foam pillow thing some years ago when I first took a class on bobbin lace making (at Costume College, iirc). It is still around, but... it isn't very period looking, and it is rather large and unwieldy, and it is very lightweight. It would do for another class, but... I've wanted a bobbin bolster for awhile, since I saw a friend using one at a small renfaire years ago. And I wanted to make it on the cheap if possible.
So I went looking for instructions on how to make one, most of what I turned up for the bolster required either sand, or straw, or sawdust, or other items that I would have to buy. Sand, I have that outside, but I knew I would be taking this bolster with me, and I didn't want something heavy to cart around. I could get sawdust from woodworking friends but again the weight. Straw I don't have access to. Pool noodles was an option, but the one we have is quickly turning to powder, so it won't last. So I looked some more.
I found a few email messages stating something about using a coffee can, wrap it in batting, wrap it in wool felt or heavy wool fabric, then cover it with something nice. One person mentioned using velvet for the outer cover, and that appealed to my courtly sensibilities. But I don't have a coffee can... then my husband reminded me that we do have formula cans from when the kids were babies, so that became my base. I like the idea of using the can's interior space to store my bobbins and other small supplies between uses, and it would not be heavy.
But would it work? Could I make a working bolster from the slim hints I found? Oh yes, and yes! You can see the final photo here as proof.
I found the materials in my sewing scrap boxes, from the cotton quilters batting (for initial loft), to the wools I used to wrap over the batting (which would hold up better for holding the pins). The green wool was a cheap wool blend that was thin, the black was wool melton (coat weight), and the cream was wool flannel that was almost as thick as the melton. Total cost $0.00! That's right, it cost me nothing since everything came from scraps... ok, there was a cost long ago, but only for items I've already made. The only other cost will be the materials for the drawstring cord; and my time.
I took photos of most of the process, which took me about a week working a few minutes here and there between other chores. It could be done in a day or two if you focused on making it. And now that it is made, and it works, it looks rather nice in its blue velveteen cover. So, here is the link to my Photobucket album slideshow, which has photos with my explanations on what I did.
Bobbin Lace Bolster How-To Photos
I hope this helps someone else who may be interested in making their own bobbin lace bolster, although you will have to get your own bobbins and thread.
[Just in case the above link to the slideshow doesn't work right, the main album is here.]

text: The prize-giving was hosted by RS500 International Chairman Michiel Geerling who handed out prizes from the generous sponsor Magic Marine, many to people who had entertained the fleet both on and off the water. Michiel and his team of sailors from Holland had worked hard behind the scenes to make the World Championships one to remember, yet again! The first amongst a total of seven all-female crews were Dutch Olympic Laser Radial sailors Marit Bouwmeester and Claire Blom, who were closely followed by GBR sisters Jeni and Kate Tod placing 13th and 15th overall respectively. Forming the other teams were eleven female helms and 25 female crews. Hong Kong team Cosmas Grelon and Will Stephens were the highest positioned youth team (under 18) placing an impressive fifth overall with a consistent set of results. The masters prize went to GBR Jeremy Bickerton and Derek Ness who sailed their RS500 for the first time at Cowes Dinghy Week on the Isle of Wight just two weeks ago – their results improved impressively throughout the week…one to watch for next year? RS500 sailors proved they can lead the way both on the water and on the dance floor after enjoying a black tie ball in the decked out hangar at the venue last night. Perhaps our 'Dutch' party earlier in the week was good practice for this! Sailors leave the Olympic sailing venue in Weymouth not just as fellow competitors, but many also as friends. People are already talking about the next World Championships, which are due to be held at Lake Garda in July 2012, as well as an exciting European series of major events across Holland, Sweden and the UK in 2012. Can't wait to see you all again and to welcome new members to the class! For full results, click here. RS Association website
