'Beware the injured golfer' is a well used phrase but Steve Webster gave credence to its authenticity once again when he overcame persistent problems to grab the first round lead in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
The 32 year old Englishman has not played for five weeks due to back trouble but put all that behind him, quite literally, in spectacular fashion at a relatively benign Carnoustie where a fine seven under par 65 gave him a one shot lead over four players, South African Hennie Otto and Scott Strange of Australia, who both posted their scores like Webster at Carnoustie, and Dane Søren Hansen and Paul Lawrie of Scotland, who carded their 66s at St Andrews.
"I have been struggling a bit with my back and it was really sore down the right side," said Webster. "It is actually a bit sore just now but really nothing to worry about. I had five weeks of treatment with the Tour physios and people at home, so it is much better."
Certainly there was no element of rustiness associated with Webster's start to the round, an explosive beginning which featured birdies at each of the first three holes, knocking home putts from 20, five and 15 feet respectively.
The winner of the 2005 Telecom Italia Open was still three under par through 11 holes but produced a fine finish with four birdies in the last seven holes including a supreme effort at the last where he hit two iron from the tee, a nine iron approach over the Barry Burn to five feet and one putt.
"When the weather is as calm as it was today you have got to try and take advantage," he said. "The greens were perfect out there and it is always best to play this course when it is calm. I am delighted with my start but there is a long way to go.
"I don't think I have ever broken 70 in any round in this tournament so it is a bit of a breakthrough for me today. Let's hope I can keep it going."
South African Otto had two dropped shot but eight birdies in his excellent 66 on the Championship Course but it was nothing to the extraordinary run of ten holes Scott Strange put together from the eighth hole, the Australian only recording one par figure – at the tenth – the other nine holes featuring three bogeys and six birdies.
Things were much more sedate for the 2001 champion Lawrie at St Andrews where the Old Course failed to get the better of the 1999 Open Champion on any of the 18 holes, the only departures from par for the Scot being good ones with four birdies in five holes from the ninth and an eagle three at the 14th thrown in for good measure.
"It is obviously a very good start but it is always nice to play at the Old Course," he said. "You always get a good feeling when you walk down the first so it was good to play well and hole a few putts. To be honest I played every hole extremely well and had chances on a few – but I'm happy with my start."
Another man in that position was Dane Søren Hansen who continued to ride high on the wave of confidence and momentum given to him, firstly by his win in the Mercedes-Benz Championship last month and a solid performance last week for Continental Europe in the Seve Trophy.
Like Lawrie, Hansen did not shed any shots to par and also featured a memorable run of birdies on the back nine, notching four in a row from the tenth.
"I feel like I have been knocking on the door a lot recently and then all of a sudden to get over the finish line was great," he said. "I have been waiting for it a little bit and it was a long time since I won the last time but now I feel like I am pretty much in control of what I am doing and it is fantastic playing golf that way."
A measure of the quality of the field is illustrated by an illustrious gathering of players tied for sixth place on five under par 67, a group which includes Ernie Els, Niclas Fasth and Luke Donald while Padraig Harrington marked the return to the scene of his Open Championship triumph with a two under par 70 at Carnoustie.
"It has been nice going around the golf course and reliving a lot of the shots that made headlines during the week of the tournament," he said.

Former England coach Peter Moores has cleared the rumours about his recent visit to Pakistan. He said he was not seeking a job nor was getting involved with the cricket administration in the country but at the same time did not rule out the possibility of a role of a consultant in the future.
Moores said he had been specially invited by the Pakistan Cricket Board to meet the board officials and former players and have a look at the existing domestic structure as well as the system under which the national and regional academies were being run.
"I think I have come here to have a look and get the views of some former greats like Javed Miandad and Intikhab Alam. I have come here to listen and learn and find out what happens and see how I can help move things forward in Pakistan cricket," Moores said.
"I think the first thing for a coach is to listen and it would be wrong to think you can walk in suddenly and give your views. There is lot of expertise in Pakistan cricket and lots of information is already here. The key is to listen and know if there is anything I can add to that which would probably be structural," he said.
Moores, who is now the coach of the Lancashire team and has worked as the head coach of the England team in the past and also as the director of the ECB academy, said there was already a huge passion for cricket among PCB officials.
"I am not a part of the system here. I can come here and give an opinion but I need some time to look and find out what is going on and then you start to evolve a way forward. Answers will come from the people here," he added.
He agreed that Pakistan cricket needed to look at ways to improve their domestic structure as it is the basis to build a strong cricket foundation and establishment in the country.

Reem Acra
Rule #1 at a Reem Acra show: Don't blink. You don't want to miss a single second or nary a detail. There is so much to take in at one of Acra's shows that you must be at the ready.
Each dress in the Spring 2013 collection is a work of art. Pearls and chunky crystals fully adorn dresses or magically morph from a beaded bodice into a fluffy ruffled tulle skirt. Fluid and form-fitting silhouettes flatter the body in a way that would make any bride consider never ever removing her dress. Mix and match embroideries and patches of delicate lace flit about as if they were butterflies free to land wherever they wish. Gossamer fabrics make these dresses moveable, modern and oh so of the moment.
Rule #2 at a Reem Acra show: Expect the unexpected. You just never know what surprises await you, and believe me, there are always plenty of delightful surprises in store.
Fast-forward to the finale. As her beautiful and very reserved models line up the runway for one last look, each girl begins to shed her delicate layers. One by one they remove tiny bodices, full-length capes and tiers and tiers of skirts. This was the chic-est striptease we've ever seen, not that we're experts mind you. This was some finale, and leads us directly to Rule #3.
Rule #3 at a Reem Acra show: Prepare to see things differently. You might have gone in thinking you already knew everything there was to know about wedding fashion, but after a Reem Acra collection you will have a whole new vocabulary. Your mind will bend slightly in the right direction.
A wedding gown was always just a wedding gown. One piece, or maybe every once in a while, two pieces like a corset and a skirt. But Acra showed us a new way that a wedding gown can be two, three, four or even five pieces.
It can be a slim column with a long, light, gently beaded tulle dress layered over it. It can be a structured, fitted mini dress with a cascading horsehair-stiffened tulle skirt that is ribbon- tied over it. It can be a chic lace slim gown with a cloud-like belt of swirling flowers at the waist, both lying beneath a single layer tulle cape edged in scalloped lace. It can also be a chic beaded gown covered in multiples of tulle over-skirts. Long, shorter, then shortest adding volume like thick Chantilly cream.
The idea of layering is one we all utilize in our work clothes and our casual clothes. But the idea of layered wedding gowns is totally unique and offers brides an exciting, fun experience beyond just one piece. This was not just a collection or a show, this was an education. An invitation to move forward into truly innovative territory.
And finally, Rule #4. Reem Acra proves that all rules are meant to be broken.

Being the family "computer guy", I somehow got assigned the task of getting the family web site going. No, not just my little family, but the whole extended family.
Well, I just signed up for a real ISP, which gives me some 100MB of web space. Enough for whatever crap my family wants to upload. Problem is that all the pre-done web-site stuff like PHP-Nuke requires an SQL database. Something that costs $5 more a month. Sorry, I don't want to pay this.
Anyone know of something like PHP-Nuke that doesn't use an SQL db? I'd like to find something that uses files only.
So, my boss is out of town today, so I thought I would start writing in this silly
I've been trying to work with gnu make to get it to do more than just compile code and link it in the right order. I've been trying to use it to update the genetics data that I work with. So I'm trying to do some things that I don't think that make was designed to do. Like creating implicit rules that can use more than a single pattern.
See, you can write an implicit rule like this to make a
%.out : %.in
do something...
But alas, if you want to do anything a little more complicated, like use a regular expression for the pattern match, then you're out of luck. Sorry.
I've been toying with some ideas for updating make while keeping backwards compatibility. Since I don't think that using more than one % is allowed in the target, then I'm thinking one could use two or more %s for delimiting a regular expression.
Like this:
bn%_Q(\w+)_DB(\w+)%.txt : $(rem1).nt $(rem2).db
do some stuff...
So that $(rem1) would be the first match in the R.E. and $(rem2) would be the second.
Who knows.

Burnell has promised to pay all restoration costs and pick up the tab for moving the historic structure to the Annex, next to the future home of the Mountain View History Museum. But aside from his interest in saving a historic house, Burnell's motive in making the offer is to remove a major impediment standing in the way of developing an office building at the site to help meet the growing demand.
The deal would meet two goals for the city, to build more office space downtown and to preserve a historic home, without investing a lot of money. But the catch in this case is Burnell's idea that the best place for the Pearson House is Cuesta Park, a 12-acre refuge that is mostly undeveloped and is near and dear to a wide range of residents.
For this and other reasons, Cuesta Annex is probably not the best site for the Pearson House. During the last year, the Annex has become a lightening rod of controversy due to the Santa Clara Valley water agency's plan to turn a wide swath of the park into a flood basin. The idea has been endorsed by the City Council and is moving forward. There is also a plan to locate a history museum there. Park supporters are strongly opposed to placing any buildings in the Annex, and have been particularly incensed about the museum moving in, as well as the plan to excavate much of the park by about 10 feet to construct the flood basin.
Given the already intense pressure on Cuesta Annex, it would be a mistake for the city to dedicate any more of the precious park land at this site for another structure, when neighbors and park supporters are decrying the development planned already.
Instead, we urge the city to sit down with Burnell and find another site for the Pearson House, which is said to be one of the four most historic homes in the city.
No other locations have been mentioned, and we certainly are not suggesting that the city purchase a property for the purpose. But this is a very rare opportunity for the city to help restore a treasured building that belonged to Charles Pearson, who more than 100 years ago owned and operated a general store a few blocks away from the house.
Years ago the city moved the historic Rengstorff House to Shoreline Park, where it has attracted a large docent force and has become a popular focal point for historic programs that draw in many members of the community. Similarly, perhaps the Pearson House could be moved to Shoreline and given a new purpose at a site that would be visible to the hundreds of residents and visitors who visit the park every.
Burnell is a former Mountain View resident and member of the Mountain View Historical Association. He has restored other historic buildings, including the Alliance Land building in San Jose. We can't imagine the city receiving a better offer to restore the Pearson House. Surely there has to be a way to create a "win-win" that will save the house and make way for office space on Villa Street.

Heath Ledger and Mary-Kate Olsen were dating?
Heath Ledger and Mary-Kate Olsen were dating, sources tell the New York Post and New York's Daily News.
As reported, a masseuse who arrived at Ledger's apartment Tuesday first called Olsen before 911 when she discovered the actor's body.
Olsen's number was programmed into Ledger's phone, the Post claims.
According to the Daily News, Olsen's bodyguard later confirmed to police that two were dating (though her rep says they're just friends). The Post quotes a police source as saying the two had a "mutual relationship."
According to a law enforcement official who spoke to the Post, the masseuse called Olsen first because "she didn't want a media circus." The Daily News reports that the masseuse called Olsen "for guidance."
Olsen told the masseuse she would send her security guards to the downtown Manhattan apartment.
After the masseuse tried to rouse Ledger, she discovered that his body was cold, the Post reports, so she called Olsen again. "I think he's dead," she said.
Olsen replied, "I already have people coming over."
The masseuse then told Olsen she was calling 911.

According to the 1920 US Census, Mary is listed as Mary Kennedy, but living at her mother's home, along with her younger brother, William. However, Mary was married. So why wasn't she living with her husband?
This bothered me for some time. It made me think that it may actually not be the right family.
Mary Huff 1920 US Census |
Frank Becvar on left and Mary Huff Becvar on right. Frank's sister is in the middle |
With too much doubut I had to call my mother. She said yes, Mary Huff was married to Frank Becvar and they used to come visit. My mother remembered them well. So that was it. Story over. Not quite. I hadn't talked to my great aunt Ruth in a while so I called her next. She's 92 years old and Mary (Huff) Becvar's niece. She'd be able to give me a little more information. My Aunt Ruth said that Mary was married to a Frank Kennedy prior to her marriage to Frank Becvar. In fact, she couldn't even guarantee that she was ever legally married to Frank Becvar. Whoa! Story is, Mary Huff was married to Frank Kennedy and had two sons with him. However, Frank hit her. A lot. So much so, that the last time he hit her she ended up in the hospital and never went back to him. Or her kids. Ever. She moved in her mother and brother. Met Frank Becvar and the rest is history.
I spoke to my mother about this and we couldn't understand how a mother could leave her children with a man like that. If she was so scared of him, imagine how her kids felt. Wouldn't a mother die trying to protect her children? I know my mom would. And my wife for sure as hell would.
It was a difficult story to wrap my head around. I'm glad Mary left the abusive relationship, but I can't help but think about those two boys she left. I hoped to God that my aunt was 'misremembering' the story, but she has an incredible memory. She's never wrong.
Just another story that was nearly never told again. Glad I was able to poke around enough and get some answers, but I have to try and find out what happened to those two boys. Somehow, some way.

United Airlines Flight 175 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Logan International Airport, in Boston, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles International Airport, in Los Angeles, California. On September 11, 2001, the Boeing 767-200 operating the route was hijacked by five al-Qaeda terrorists and flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing all 65 people aboard and an unconfirmed number in the building's impact zone.
Approximately thirty minutes into the flight, the hijackers forcibly breached the cockpit and overpowered the pilot and first officer, allowing lead hijacker and trained pilot Marwan al-Shehhi to take over the controls. Unlike Flight 11, which turned its transponder off, the aircraft's transponder was visible on New York Center's radar, and the aircraft deviated from the assigned flight path for four minutes before air traffic controllers noticed these changes at 08:51 EDT. They made several unsuccessful attempts to contact the cockpit. Unknown to the hijackers, several passengers and crew aboard made phone calls from the plane to loved ones and provided information about the hijackers and injuries to passengers and crew.
The aircraft crashed into Tower Two (the South Tower) of the World Trade Center at 09:03. The Flight 175 hijacking was coordinated with that of American Airlines Flight 11, which struck the top of Tower One (the North Tower) 17 minutes earlier. The crash of Flight 175 into the South Tower was the only impact seen live on television around the world as it happened. The impact and subsequent fire caused the South Tower to collapse 56 minutes after the crash, resulting in hundreds of additional casualties. During the recovery effort at the World Trade Center site, workers recovered and identified remains from Flight 175 victims (see the Aftermath section below), but many other body fragments could not be identified.
The team of hijackers on United Airlines Flight 175 was led by Marwan al-Shehhi, from the United Arab Emirates. Shehhi obtained a commercial pilot's license while training in south Florida, along with Flight 11 hijacker and plot coordinator, Mohamed Atta. The muscle hijackers on Flight 175 included Fayez Banihammad, from the UAE, and three Saudis: brothers Hamza al-Ghamdi and Ahmed al-Ghamdi, as well as Mohand al-Shehri. On August 13, 2001, Marwan al-Shehhi purchased two four-inch pocket knives from a Sports Authority store in Boynton Beach, Florida, while Banihammad bought a two-piece snap knife set at a Wal-Mart, and Hamza al-Ghamdi bought a Leatherman Wave multi-tool.[1][2]
In early September 2001, the Flight 175 group of hijackers arrived in Boston from Florida. Hamza al-Ghamdi and Ahmed al-Ghamdi arrived together on September 7 and checked into the Charles Hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The next day, they relocated to the Days Inn in Boston. Fayez Banihammad flew from Florida to Boston, along with Mohand al-Shehri, on September 8, and they checked into the Milner Hotel in Boston. Marwan al-Shehhi arrived in Boston on September 9 and stayed at the Milner Hotel, where he shared a room with Flight 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta.[3]
The flight was operated with a Boeing 767-200, registration number N612UA, built and delivered in 1983,[4] with capacity of 168 passengers. It had 168 seats (10 in first class, 32 in business class, and 126 in economy class). On the day of the attacks, the flight carried only 56 passengers and 9 crew members, which represented a 33 percent load factor — well below the average load factor of 49 percent in the three months preceding September 11.[5] The nine crew members included Captain Victor Saracini, First Officer Michael Horrocks, and flight attendants Robert Fangman, Amy Jarret, Amy King, Kathryn Laborie, Alfred Marchand, Michael Tarrou, and Alicia Titus.[6] Excluding the hijackers, the passengers on the flight included 35 men, 12 women, and three children who were all under the age of 5,[7] and included Garnet "Ace" Bailey, the director of pro scouting for the Los Angeles Kings and a former National Hockey League player.
Hamza al-Ghamdi and Ahmed al-Ghamdi checked out of their hotel and called a taxi to take them to Logan International Airport.[8] They arrived at the United Airlines counter in Terminal C at 06:20 Eastern Time and Ahmed al-Ghamdi checked in two bags. Both hijackers indicated they wanted to purchase tickets, though they already had paper tickets. They had trouble answering the standard security questions, so the counter agent repeated the questions very slowly until the men gave the correct answers.[2][9] Hijacker pilot Marwan al-Shehhi checked in a single bag at 06:45, and the other remaining hijackers, Fayez Banihammad and Mohand al-Shehri, checked in at 06:53. Banihammad checked two bags.[2] None of the hijackers were selected for extra scrutiny by the Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System (CAPPS).[10]
Shehhi and the other hijackers boarded Flight 175 between 07:23 and 07:28. Banihammad boarded first and sat in first class seat 2A, while Mohand al-Shehri was in seat 2B. At 07:27, Shehhi and Ahmed al-Ghamdi boarded, and sat in business class seats 6C and 9D respectively. A minute later, Hamza al-Ghamdi boarded, and sat in 9C.[2][10]
The flight was scheduled to depart at 08:00 for Los Angeles. Fifty-one passengers and the five hijackers boarded the 767 through Terminal C's Gate 19. The plane pushed back at 07:58 and took off at 08:14 from runway 9,[2][11] about the same time Flight 11 was hijacked. By 08:33, the aircraft reached cruising altitude of 31,000 feet, which is the point when cabin service would normally begin.[2] At 08:37, air traffic controllers asked the pilots of Flight 175 whether they could see American Airlines Flight 11. The crew responded that Flight 11 was at 29,000 feet, and controllers ordered Flight 175 to turn and avoid the aircraft.[12] The pilots declared that they had heard a suspicious transmission from Flight 11 upon takeoff. "Sounds like someone keyed the mic and said everyone stay in your seats", the flight crew reported. This was the last transmission from Flight 175.[13]
It is estimated that Flight 175 was hijacked between 08:42 and 08:46, while Flight 11 was just minutes away from hitting the North Tower.[2] According to Flight 175: As the World Watched, it is believed that "muscle hijackers" Fayez Banihammad and Mohand al-Shehri forcibly entered the cockpit and killed the pilots while Hamza al-Ghamdi and Ahmed al-Ghamdi started moving passengers and crew to the back of the aircraft. The first operational evidence that something was abnormal on Flight 175 came at 08:47, when the plane's transponder signal changed twice within the span of one minute, and the aircraft began deviating from its assigned course.[11][14] However, the air traffic controller in charge of the flight did not notice until minutes later at 08:51.[2] Unlike Flight 11, which had turned its transponder off, Flight 175's flight data could still be properly monitored.[14] Also, at 08:51, Flight 175 changed altitude. Over the next three minutes, the controller made five unsuccessful attempts to contact Flight 175 and worked to move other aircraft in the vicinity away from Flight 175.[2]
At around this time, the flight had a near midair collision with Delta Air Lines Flight 2315, reportedly missing the plane by only 300 feet or 90 metres, as air traffic controller Dave Bottiglia frantically tried to tell the Delta pilot to take evasive action. Bottiglia was the first person in the control center to realize that Flight 175 was hijacked when he gave directions for a turn. Flight 175 did not respond, instead accelerating and heading toward the Delta plane. The controller commanded the Delta pilot, "Take any evasive action necessary. We have an airplane that we don't know what he's doing. Any action at all."[15][16] Moments before Flight 175 crashed, it avoided another near collision with Midwest Express Flight 7, which was flying from Milwaukee to New York.[17]
At 08:55, a supervisor at the New York Air Traffic Control Center notified the center's operations manager of the Flight 175 hijacking, and Dave Bottiglia, who was handling both Flight 11 and Flight 175, noted, "we might have a hijack over here, two of them."[2] At 08:58, the plane was over New Jersey at 28,500 feet, heading toward New York City. In the five minutes from approximately 08:58 when Shehhi completed the final turn toward New York City until the moment of impact, the plane was in a sustained power dive, descending more than 24,000 feet in 5 minutes 4 seconds, for an average rate of over 5,000 feet per minute.[14] New York Center air traffic controller Dave Bottiglia reported he and his colleagues "were counting down the altitudes, and they were descending, right at the end, at 10,000 feet per minute. That is absolutely unheard of for a commercial jet."[16]
Flight attendant Robert Fangman, as well as two passengers (Peter Hanson and Brian David Sweeney), made phone calls from GTE airphones in the rear of the aircraft. Airphone records also indicate that Garnet Bailey made four phone call attempts, trying to reach his wife.[18][19]
Fangman called a United Airlines office in San Francisco at 08:52, and spoke with Marc Policastro. Fangman reported the hijacking and said that the hijackers were likely flying the plane. He also said that both pilots were dead and that a flight attendant was stabbed.[11] After a minute and 15 seconds, Fangman's call was disconnected.[18] Policastro subsequently made attempts to contact the aircraft's cockpit using the Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) message system.[2]
Brian David Sweeney tried calling his wife, Julie, at 08:58, but ended up leaving a message, telling her that the plane had been hijacked. He then called his parents at 9:00 a.m. and spoke with his mother, Louise. Sweeney told his mother about the hijacking and mentioned that passengers were considering storming the cockpit and taking control of the aircraft.[11]
At 08:52, Peter Hanson called his father, Lee Hanson, in Easton, Connecticut, telling him of the hijacking. Hanson was traveling with his wife, Sue, and 2½-year-old daughter, Christine. The family was originally seated in Row 19, in seats C, D, and E; however, Peter placed the call to his father from seat 30E. Speaking softly, Hanson said that the hijackers had commandeered the cockpit, that a flight attendant had been stabbed, and that possibly someone else in the front of the aircraft had been killed. He also said that the plane was flying erratically. Hanson asked his father to contact United Airlines, but Lee could not get through and instead called the police.[20][21]
Peter Hanson made a second phone call to his father at 09:00:
It's getting bad, Dad. A stewardess was stabbed. They seem to have knives and Mace. They said they have a bomb. It's getting very bad on the plane. The plane is making jerky movements. I don't think the pilot is flying the plane. I think we are going down. I think they intend to go to Chicago or someplace and fly into a building. Don't worry, Dad. If it happens, it'll be very fast...Oh my God...oh my God, oh my God."[16]
As the call abruptly ended, Hanson's father heard a woman screaming.[16]
At 09:01, two minutes before impact as Flight 175 continued its descent into Lower Manhattan, the New York Center alerted another nearby Air Traffic Facility responsible for low-flying aircraft, which was able to monitor the aircraft's path over New Jersey, and then over Staten Island and Upper New York Bay in its final moments.[14] (Flight 175 came in from the southwest, apparently heading for the Empire State Building, but turned right, then left into the South Tower.)
At exactly 9:03:02, Flight 175 crashed nose-first into the southern facade of South Tower of the World Trade Center, at a speed of approximately 590 mph (950 km/h, 264 m/s, or 513 knots)[22] and striking between floors 77 and 85 with approximately 10,000 U.S. gallons (38,000 L; 8,300 imp gal) of jet fuel on board.[14][23] The youngest person on Flight 175 was 2½-year-old Christine Hanson of Groton, Massachusetts, and the oldest was 80-year-old Dorothy DeAraujo of Long Beach, California. Hundreds more were killed within the tower and from its ensuing explosion, fires, and eventual collapse. It is estimated that 637 people were killed instantly or trapped at and above the floors of impact in the South Tower.
Based on the position of the aircraft from eyewitness statements and video footage, the aircraft was in a banking left turn in its final moments, as it appeared that the plane might have otherwise missed the building or merely scraped it with its wing. Upon crashing, the plane was banked left. Those who were on the left side of the plane would, therefore, have had a clear view of the towers approaching, with one burning, until the final moment of the flight.[16]
By the time Flight 175 struck the South Tower, multiple media organizations were already covering the crash of Flight 11, which had hit the North Tower 17 minutes earlier. The image of Flight 175's crash was thus caught on video from multiple vantage points on live television and amateur video, while approximately 100 cameras captured Flight 175 in photographs before it crashed.[24] Video footage of the crash was replayed numerous times in news broadcasts on the day of the attacks and in the following days, before major news networks put restrictions on use of the footage.[25]
After the plane penetrated through the tower, part of the plane's landing gear and fuselage came out the north side of the tower and crashed through the roof and two of the floors of 45–47 Park Place, between West Broadway and Church Street, 600 feet (180 meters) north of the former World Trade Center. Three floor beams of the top floor of the building were destroyed, causing major structural damage.[22][26][27][28]
Unlike at the North Tower, initially, one of the three stairwells was still intact after Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower. This was because the plane struck the tower offset from the center and not centrally as Flight 11 in the North Tower had done. Only 18 people passed the impact zone through the available stairway and left the South Tower safely before it collapsed. One of them, Stanley Praimnath, was on the 81st floor, and his office suffered a direct hit. He witnessed Flight 175 coming toward him.[16] One of the wings sliced through his office and wound up wedged in a doorway approximately 20 feet away from him. No one escaped above the impact point in the North Tower.[29]
Some people above the impact zone made their way upward toward the roof in hopes of a helicopter rescue. However, access doors to the roof were locked. In any case, thick smoke and intense heat prevented rescue helicopters from landing.
The South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m., after burning for 56 minutes.
The flight recorders for Flight 11 and Flight 175 were never found.[30] Some debris from Flight 175 was recovered nearby, including landing gear found on top of a building on the corner of West Broadway and Park Place, an engine found at Church & Murray Street, and a section of the fuselage landed on top of 5 World Trade Center.
During the recovery process, small fragments were identified from some passengers on Flight 175, including a six-inch piece of bone belonging to Peter Hanson,[31] and small bone fragments of Lisa Frost.[32] In 2008, the remains of Flight 175 passenger Alona Avraham were identified using DNA samples.[33] Remains of many others aboard Flight 175 were never recovered.[34]
Shortly after September 11, the flight number for future flights on the same route was changed from Flight 175 to Flight 1525 "out of respect for those who died in the attack."[35] Since then, United Airlines has renumbered and rescheduled all flights from Boston to Los Angeles, and none of its morning flights depart at 8:00 a.m. EDT.[36] As of August 2016, the closest identical flight is Flight 429, departing at 6:50 a.m. EDT, using a Boeing 737-900. It was reported in May 2011 that United was reactivating flight numbers 175 and 93 as a codeshare operated by Continental, sparking an outcry from some in the media and the labor union representing United pilots.[37][38][39] However, United said the reactivation was a mistake and said the numbers were "inadvertently reinstated", and would not be reactivated.[38]
On April 26, 2013, a piece of the inboard wing flap mechanism from a Boeing 767[40] was discovered wedged between two buildings at Park Place.[41]
At the National September 11 Memorial, the names of the victims of Flight 175 are inscribed on the South Pool, on Panels S-2 – S-4.[42]

As March 23 inches closer and closer (how is it that time seems to be moving slower now that it's "Hunger Games" releasing week?) Lionsgate has been very kind about giving us more clips from the highly anticipated movie.
This time, we have our first look at Katniss' goodbye to Gale before she's escorted to the Capitol in a high-speed train. Quite frankly, aside from Katniss volunteering in place of Prim, it's one of the more heartbreaking moments we've seen from the film as of yet.
Be warned: It will make you feel things. Deep, emotional things. If you weren't aware that you could cry from a 35-second clip from a movie that hasn't even been released yet, well, now you know. Yes, this could be a little Team Gale spirit bubbling to the surface (GUYS DON'T WORRY WE LOVE PEETA TOO), but we don't care. Friday, come quicker!

Desert Racing Our Ford F-150 - Project Race 150 Part 4
Posted in Vehicle Reviews on October 27, 2004 Comment (0)Like everything in life that is exciting, magazine project vehicles must come to an end. Our Race 150 is no exception. No sooner do we get it finished then it's time to move on. In four months we took a stone-stock F-150 and worked with the best in the business to convert it into a desert-eating beast and jump-start the aftermarket with products for Ford's new baby.
We had JD Fabrication prototype a long-travel front suspension kit to work with Bilstein 9100 series race shocks and Deaver Spring rear leaf packs for a daily-driver suspension that kicks butt in the rough stuff. By adding a set of Glassworks Unlimited bulged fenders, we were able to fit 37-inch Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs with only a 4-inch suspension lift when everyone else needs a 6-inch lift to clear 35s!
If we had more time with the truck we'd find stiffer front springs (something in the 700 lb-in range) to keep the front end from bottoming. We'd also add a rollcage that ties into the front half of the frame to help spread the load on the chassis when landing. Of course, we'd still like to swap in 4.88 gears, add a supercharger, a Dana 60 axle, maybe four-link the rear...we could go on and on. But we think you'll agree our Race-150 is a heck of a start!

How many years did the Jews spend in Egypt?
During the Passover Seder we read that G‑d told Abraham that his descendents would be in Egypt for four hundred years. But from what I understand, the Israelites were actually in Egypt for little more than two hundred years. Surely G‑d did not error when He decreed four hundred years of exile. There must be a great explanation. Could you enlighten me?
Indeed, G‑d foretold four hundred years of exile. During the Covenant Between the Parts G‑d told Abraham:1 "You shall surely know that your seed will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and they will enslave them and oppress them, for four hundred years." Nevertheless, a calculation of the years spent in Egypt reveals that they spent far less time there.2
Our sages explain that the countdown of 400 years began with Isaac's birth. G‑d's promise does not refer to Egypt by name, rather to a "land that is not theirs." As soon as Abraham had a child, his seed were subjected to living in lands that were not theirs—including Canaan which wasn't "theirs" at the time.
Isaac was sixty years old when Jacob was born,3 and Jacob was 130 years old when he went down to Egypt.4 This means that 190 of the 400 years elapsed before the Israelites arrived in Egypt. So the Israelites were in Egypt for a total of 210 years.
Interestingly, when Jacob first instructed his sons to descend to Egypt, he said,5 "Go down ("רדו") there and buy [food]." The numerical value of the Hebrew letters of the word "רדו" ("redu," "go down") is exactly 210!6
Best wishes,
Chani Benjaminson,
"It is impossible to say that [they spent 400 years] in Egypt alone, because Kehat [the grandfather of Moses] was of those who came with Jacob [to Egypt]. Go and figure all his years [133 years], all the years of his son Amram [137 years], and Moses' 80 years [at which age he led the Israelites out of Egypt]; you will not find them [to be] that many, and perforce, Kehat lived many of his years before he descended to Egypt, and many of Amram's years are included in the years of Kehat, and many of Moses' years are included in Amram's years. Hence, you will not find 400 years counting from their arrival in Egypt" – Rashi's commentary on Exodus 12:40.
Ibid. 47:9.
Ibid. 42:2.
In Exodus 12:40, the Torah tells us of the 430 years the Israelites spent in Egypt. Again, this cannot be taken literally (as per the calculations in footnote 2). Rather this number includes the years that the Israelites' ancestors sojourned in other foreign lands, and also includes the thirty years between the Covenant Between the Parts and Isaac's birth. (This is Rashi's interpretation; other Biblical commentators offer different explanations.)
Now, Joseph is 70 years old, and his clan is put into slavery by the new Pharaoh in 1998 BC, and are lead out of Egypt 400 years later in 1598 BC. In all, Israel was in Egypt 430 years (Exodus 12:40-41)
Lineville, USA
Hence, the Hebrew israelites in the USA and americas/carribean, are the ones fulfilling that prophecy.
this is biblically clear that the true hebrews are the current african americans in the USA who endured.....400 years of slavery. NOT the current people laying claim to be Jews or israelites.
lagos, nigeria
I'm just curious has anyone ever done the genetic ancestry of the jewish people or would it be possible? In our own country (Ireland) we had a project looking at the Y chromosome (father inheritance) of the people of western Ireland (Celts- red hair, freckles) and it turned out our ancestry was from Spain of all places! It was kind of a disappointing answer because we imagined we were the last of the celts from Gaul mentioned in de bello gallica but it turned out we were spanish basques. Surely the ancient israelites would be interesting to try and follow through genetics to see how accurate the bible is? I guess Abraham would be close to modern day people in Iraq maybe?
He lives in Egypt for 17 years before he passed away, and the last brother to die was Levi, 77 years after that. That means the Jews were in Egypt 96 years without any slavery.
We know Miriam was named after the bitterness of the slavery, and we know she was born 86 years before the exodus.
So although the Jews were in Egypt for 210 years total, only 86 - 116 of those years involved slavery.

Written by Daniel Hazard
I am a heterosexual woman married to one man for 21 years. In the past year my spouse was out of circulation for seven months. During that time, I changed our electric and gas billing, our water billing, our phone service package, and our Internet service provider arrangements — all of which are in my spouse's name.
Each transaction involved my identifying myself as the "wife" of the account holder. Then, with no further mention of my spouse, all went smoothly.
In addition, during those seven months, I worked with my husband's medical providers to get needed documentation to submit insurance claims. Again, I received complete cooperation — the way paved — because I am the "wife."
This experience over seven months helped me to see the respect and privilege that is accorded married couples in our culture. Had I said, "I am his partner through holy union," or "We are in a covenanted relationship," or "We are life partners," or "We are a domestic partnership," I doubt I would have gotten the receipts I needed from the dentist, or been able to change the phone service. Our society recognizes the marriage relationship.
When the words "marriage," "husband," "wife," and "spouse" are used there is respect and understanding. The two people involved are treated and accepted as a unit.
While same-gender couples may secure legally binding contracts that insure certain legal rights, these arrangements are not honored by society at large.
Though the marriage equality resolution passed by General Synod 25 in Atlanta is controversial in church and society, my seven-month experience convinced me of the need for such action. Anything less would be an exercise in "separate but equal" which we know turns out to be unequal.
I am so thankful to be part of a church seeking to change the culture so that gay and lesbian couples in lifelong committed relationships are afforded the same rights, recognition and respect as heterosexual married couples.

text: MLB Makes It A Little More Comfortable To Be GayBarry Petchesky11/23/11 1:05pmFiled to: MlbGay AthletesThegaysRoger McDowellgloria allredMlb cbaNewstweet9EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The biggest talking point in MLB's new collective bargaining agreement is draft slotting, which paradoxically penalizes certain small-market teams by limiting signing bonuses. Opinions are split, but everyone can agree that if this is the biggest controversy, baseball's in a million times better shape than the NBA. One little-noted addition to the CBA is a non-discrimination clause for sexual orientation, the first in MLB history. It's a big step to put clear and unambiguous language onto their books, even for was already a relatively gay-friendly league. But it's good for gay fans and it's good for gay players and wouldn't you know it, we have Gloria Allred and Roger McDowell to thank.The Dallas Observer reports on a local activist's push to get the discrimination clause included, and was told that MLB had been considering the addition since April. You remember, right? McDowell, the Braves pitching coach, throwing some slurs at San Francisco fans? Allred masturbating a bat at a press conference? It wasn't pretty. McDowell was suspended two weeks without pay, but MLB decided it would make good legal sense to have it in binding language. MLB's actually a bit behind the curve on this one. MLS and the NHL have both long had non-discrimination clauses, and the NFL added one to their newest CBA. The lone holdouts among major American sports? The NBA and WNBA, probably the two leagues where it would be needed most.

Mumbai, Sep 9 (IANS) Mumbai reverberated all night to the beating of drums, cymbals and dancing as nearly 200,000 big and small idols of Lord Ganesh were brought in trucks, tempos, cars, two-wheelers or carried on heads, to public pandals or private homes at the start of the 10-day Ganeshotsav festival here Monday.
The night was punctuated by cries of welcome "Ganpati Bappa Morya" and singing of the favourite bhajan, "Sukh-karta Dukh-harta" and other "aarti" by millions of devotees amidst fireworks, as the elephant-headed god was welcomed in Mumbai and the rest of Maharashtra on his annual sojourn.
After ensconcing the idols at the designated places, devotees in the morning performed the traditional "sthapna puja" for Lord Ganesh, considered a "vignaharta" or destroyer of all evils, at homes or in the huge marquees erected for the 10-day extravaganza.
Homes and sweetmeat sellers have been busy preparing Lord Ganesh's favourite sweet dish "modak" and "karanji", which are also offered as "prasad" to devotees and visitors.
During the festival, the traditional "aartis" will be performed thrice a day, though "darshan" of Lord Ganesh is freely allowed practically round-the-clock, especially at the public pandals.
The soaring inflationary trends and the truant weather have not dampened the enthusiasm for the state's biggest popular festival, started modestly by freedom fighter Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak way back in 1893 to unite people on a common platform.
For the milestone 120th year of the public celebrations, many of the organisations have set up budgets running into crores of rupees for the festivities, insurance, security and related aspects with themes ranging from saving the girl child and opposing rape, inflation and farmers suicides, health and organ donations, etc.
Though Ganeshotsav is celebrated across the country and even abroad, the celebrations are opulent, colourful and elaborate in Mumbai, Pune, the coastal Konkan region of Maharashtra - where it was started by Lokmanya Tilak, cocking a snook at the then British government.
This year, Mumbai has around 11,400 public Ganeshotsav mandals, including around 6,000 which have huge Ganesh idols and a few with gigantic idols, said Brihanmumbai Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Samanvaya Samiti (BSGSS) chief N. Dahibhavkar.
"Another over 180,000 individuals will worship their household Ganpati idols and organisations like banks, government and private departments, employees unions, social groups, etc., will make it around 200,000 Ganesh idols this year. For all practical purposes, it has transcended religious boundaries and is now a national festival," Dahibhavkar told IANS.
Though there is no specific security threat this year, the Mumbai police are not taking any chances and have made foolproof arrangements to prevent any untoward incidents.
Nearly 30,000 policemen and officers from various agencies like State Reserve Police Force, Central Reserve Police Force, Rapid Action Force, Border Security Force, Maharashtra Police, Traffic Police, and affiliated organisations, with gadgetry like door-frame and hand-held metal detectors, CCTVs, dog squads, random checks, etc, have been deployed, said Mumbai Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh.
The police and various Ganeshotsav mandals have identified 200 spots which attract huge crowds, like the famous Lalbaugcha Raja, where around 1.20 million devotees queue up round-the-clock for a 'darshan' during the festival.
The state government has chipped in by relaxing certain norms during the festivities. There will be zero load-shedding for 10 days all over Maharashtra. Some schools have been allowed four or five days off for the festival.
In a historic decision, the BSGSS earlier this year decided to restrict the height of the gigantic Ganesh idols. Dahibhavkar claims 99 percent success in the endeavour.
"A vast majority have come down from 32-foot tall idols to a manageable 18 feet, though around two dozen idols are still a bit on the higher side. We will persuade them again and next year, you will see idols up to 16-18 feet," Dahibhavkar said.
Mumbai roads will be teeming with an estimated eight million plus people, including lakhs of domestic and foreign tourists who will troop in to soak in the breathtaking sights and sounds over the next 10 days.
Some of the top must-see venues include Lalbaugcha Raja, Khetwadi 12th Lane, and Ganesh Gully. GSB Seva Mandal has a Ganesh idol made of 60-kg gold and studded with diamonds, along with an all-purpose insurance cover of Rs.2.23 billion (Rs.223 crore). Fort Vibhag and Andhericha Raja are also on the must-see list.
At Tulsiwadi, the Ganesh idol is decorated with 300,000 pieces of artificial diamonds. At Sahyadri Krida Mandal in Chembur and Lodha Foundation, Ganesh idols have been sourced from 10 different countries.
Other attractions would be the Ganeshtosav celebrations at the homes of celebrities like Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Nana Patekar, Govinda, Jeetendra Kapoor, the Kapoor clan (Shashi, Randhir, Rishi Kapoor), several top Marathi film personalities like Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar, leading industrialists and politicians across all parties.
The religious ceremonies shall be conducted in tandem with a host of social and cultural programmes planned for the occasion at various Ganesh marquees. Top celebrities, especially from the glamour world, will attend the festivities at various places over the 10 days.
Mega-celebrations have also started in Pune, Nagpur and the entire coastal belt of Konkan where thousands of small villages have magically come alive with the lights and music of Ganeshotsav in Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts.
Bidding adieu to the benign elephant-headed god will start in phases from Tuesday with processions taken out to several of the immersion points on the beaches dotting the city, lakes, wells, artificial ponds, creeks, and other designated venues.

BRIEF-Zhejiang Dian Diagnostics to pay cash div 0.25 yuan / 10 shares for FY 2016
* Says it plans to pay cash div 0.25 yuan / 10 shares for FY 2016
* Sanofi could cut around 900 jobs in France by 2015
* Compares with earlier union estimate of 2,500 cuts
* Company held talks with industry minister
* Will try to find "concrete solutions" for Toulouse site (Adds minister, trade union reaction)
By Elena Berton
PARIS, Sept 25 French drugmaker Sanofi SA scaled back planned layoffs under pressure from the French government, which has been struggling to contain a burgeoning unemployment rate.
Sanofi, France's No. 2 company by market value after Total , said it could shed around 900 jobs in France in the next three years, fewer than the 2,500 predicted in July by trade unions, as part of the company's planned reshuffle of its research operations.
The French government, which had strongly criticised Sanofi's cutback plans amid rising unemployment and similar plans by troubled car maker PSA Peugeot Citroen, said it had made Sanofi Chief Executive Christopher Viehbacher listen to reason.
French Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg told reporters Sanofi had "followed the government's recommendations" after a meeting on Monday evening, where the company initially offered to shrink its plan to 1,370 layoffs from an initial figure of 2,300.
Montebourg said he asked Sanofi to further reduce that number.
"A company that's earning money cannot behave like a company in trouble," Montebourg told journalists. "A fter a meeting with the CEO, whom I saw again last night, I explained that this layoff plan was abusive and that it needed to be reduced, which has been done in two waves."
Sanofi's plan, first mooted in early July, attracted the wrath of French politicians, with Montebourg calling the layoffs "unacceptable" and Pierre Cohen, mayor of the southern town of Toulouse which faced around 600 layoffs at a research centre, labeling the company's top management "gangsters".
Sanofi aims to achieve the 900 cuts through early retirement, voluntary redundancies and redeploying people within the company, it said in a statement on Tuesday.
The group added it does not plan to move any of its sites or reduce the number of industrial locations it has in France.
The future of its cancer research centre in Toulouse, however, remains uncertain.
Sanofi said it had found potential stakeholders to maintain operations at the site and it would strive to find "concrete solutions" in coming months.
Trade unions are calling for a strike on Oct. 3, when a further meeting between Sanofi and staff representatives is due to take place, and said they are seeking contact with Montebourg.
"The only news is the 900 cuts, which doesn't take into account staff in Toulouse," Pascal Vially, a representative for the CFDT trade union, told Reuters. "In total, 1,500 jobs are at risk, which is at the lower end of our expectations but still too much."
Unions had predicted that Sanofi would seek to axe between 1,200 and 2,500 of its 28,000 jobs in France. The company employs around 110,000 worldwide.
The company had declined to provide details of its planned reshuffle ahead of consultations with staff and meetings with staff representatives.
Like other major drugmakers, the company is under pressure from patent expiries as well as government cuts in healthcare spending. It has also struggled to bring new drugs to market.
The French plan is part of a wider 2 billion euro ($2.6 billion) cost-cutting drive that Sanofi announced in September 2011 and follows a series of job cuts in the United States and Europe.
Shares in Sanofi were trading flat at 0929 GMT, slightly outperforming the French blue-chip CAC 40 index, which was down 0.3 percent. (Additional reporting by Gilles Guillaume, Nicholas Vinocur and Noelle Mennella in Paris; Editing by James Regan and David Holmes)

His demise sparked global reactions from world leaders, industry captains and the ordinary man in the street. Twitter, Facebook and other social media were overwhelmed by the outpouring on the news of his death.
There are so much to be said about Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Inc... yes, about this creative genius, his passion and energy that have made Apple a household name worldwide.
Much have been written this past few days about Jobs, and so this blog is running a collection of tributes and condolences compiled by Chris Crum of WebProNews.
"The death of Steve Jobs has inspired many, many people to share their thoughts on the life of a man they truly admired, and that includes a lot of big names." - Chris Crum
Following is Crum's list of reactions from names many will recognize, spanning throughout the tech and journalism industries as well as celebrities in politics, movies, music, sports, etc.
The List:
1. The Jobs family: "In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. We are thankful to the many people who have shared their wishes and prayers during the last year of Steve's illness."
2. Apple Co-founder Steve Wozniak: "It's like the world lost a John Lennon - I mean Steve was clearly the most outstanding business thinker and almost everybody high up in the technology business recognized that somehow he had the ability to think out new ways of doing things, not just ways to improve what we have (do a better version of something) but do it in a totally different way that the world would swing towards."
3. Apple CEO Tim Cook: "Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being."
4. Apple's Board of Directors: "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve."
5. Pixar Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter: "He saw the potential of what Pixar could be before the rest of us, and beyond what anyone ever imagined. Steve took a chance on us and believed in our crazy dream of making computer animated films; the one thing he always said was to simply 'make it great.'"
6. Walt Disney President Bob Iger: "Steve was such an 'original,' with a thoroughly creative, imaginative mind that defined an era. Despite all he accomplished, it feels like he was just getting started."
7. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates: "Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives. The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come."
8. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen: "We've lost a unique tech pioneer and auteur who knew how to make amazingly great products. Steve fought a long battle against tough odds in a very brave way. He kept doing amazing things in the face of all that adversity. As someone who has had his own medical challenges, I couldn't help but be encouraged by how he persevered."
9. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer: "I want to express my deepest condolences at the passing of Steve Jobs, one of the founders of our industry and a true visionary. My heart goes out to his family, everyone at Apple and everyone who has been touched by his work."
10. Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang: "Steve was my hero growing up. He not only gave me a lot of personal advice and encouragement, he showed all of us how innovation can change lives. I will miss him dearly, as will the world."
11. Google CEO Larry Page: "He was a great man with incredible achievements and amazing brilliance. He always seemed to be able to say in very few words what you actually should have been thinking before you thought it. His focus on the user experience above all else has always been an inspiration to me."
12. Google co-founder Sergey Brin: "From the earliest days of Google, whenever Larry and I sought inspiration for vision and leadership, we needed to look no farther than Cupertino. Steve, your passion for excellence is felt by anyone who has ever touched an Apple product (including the macbook I am writing this on right now). And I have witnessed it in person the few times we have met."
13. Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt: ""Today is very sad for all of us. Steve defined a generation of style and technology that's unlikely to be matched again. Steve was so charismatically brilliant that he inspired people to do the impossible, and he will be remembered as the greatest computer innovator in history."
14. Google Research Director Peter Norvig: "Honor Steve Jobs: resolve to do something insanely great."
15. Google head of web spam Matt Cutts: "The tech industry lost an amazing, world-changing person today. Rest in peace, Steve."

text: I just don't understand when women in their 40's strip off in front of the camera. But if it is Nicole Kidman who does that, I don't object. She is one of my favorite actresses and I don't care if you say she is too arrogant, not stylish or whatever. She is brilliant and really beautiful. And maybe this photoshoot for V Magazine is a bit too racy for her, considering the fact she goes topless for the cover, Nicole does look great posing for it.
