Asia has been golf's most dramatic growth region in recent years. But has golf development stalled across the continent, or is the momentum still there? Adam Lawrence investigates
The eastward shift of the global golf industry in the past two decades has been dramatic. As the pace of development in Europe and North America began to slow, especially in the second half of the last decade, golf architects, and the other consultants that support them, looked increasingly to Asia as a source of new business. Whether in countries like India that had a long tradition of golf, or China where it was entirely new, Asia was the bold frontier.
It's not just in the development of new golfing facilities where Asia has been grabbing the world's attention, either. The emergence of a crop of talented young women professionals from South Korea who came to dominate the LPGA Tour was just the harbinger of a potentially much larger force. Korea's Yang Yong-eun became the first Asian to win a mens Major when he defeated Tiger Woods in head to head combat to take the 2009 PGA Championship; now, it seems as though a new potential star appears from an Asian country every few months. Guan Tianlang astonished the game when, at the tender age of 14, he not only qualified for this year's Masters, but made the cut and finished as the tournament's low amateur. Lydia Ko, a New Zealander, but Korean by birth, is the fifth-ranked woman golfer on the planet at the age of 16, and very nearly won the recent Evian Championship, which would have made her the youngest Major champion in the game's history, breaking the 150 year old record of Young Tom Morris.
It's a mistake of huge proportions to view Asia as one market from a golf perspective. A continent of such scale and variety cannot but have many, many different characteristics across its different countries and regions. But there are trends that, if not continent-wide, stretch across a number of different countries, and from which we can draw some inferences about how the game might continue to develop.
First is that, pretty much across the continent, golf's development and growth has been a top-down process. Where the game has spread, it has done so largely because wealthy elites have taken to it; where courses have been built in quantity, they have been created by developers as part of a scheme whose goal is to make profit (whether by associated housing, or as a resort project), rather than by golfers banding together to find somewhere to play. "There is an old guard of golf right across the continent," says golf architect Andy Dye, who has been working in Asia for many years. "They are there in Delhi, in Kuala Lumpur, in Singapore, in Manila, and elsewhere."
So the first question must be how the game moves beyond this elite audience and creates a wider base. "The spread of golf is an evolutionary process," Dye says. "In the US, in the 1930s, Roosevelt allocated money to build public golf courses as part of his programme for easing the Depression. That brought the game to a less wealthy, much broader based audience. So is anyone going to do that in Asia?"
In most of its existing markets, golf did begin largely as a game for the elite. But the success of golf around the world has been in its appeal to aspirational middle classes, a group of which Asia has no lack. "There is a phenomenal number of emerging middle class across Asia – people with a reasonable amount of money, but not super rich," says Dye. "There are literally hundreds of millions of them. They are natural candidates for golf. And we know that, in any activity, the real money is always made in the mass market. So the challenge is for developers to create projects that target the mass market, and offer the right product at the right price."
Asia remains a difficult place to do business, though. Alan Prickett moved to Singapore a few years ago to run the region for machinery manufacturer Jacobsen. "The new golf regions offer significant growth opportunities for us, but doing business in some of the emerging economies can be challenging at times, for many reasons, and it is not at all unusual to drive several hours, or even take flights, to get from one course to another at the present time," he says. And it's not plain sailing in the more established markets. "The established old golf markets are, in some cases, struggling for income, but there is a rising interest amongst the general public that will continue to allow membership fees to remain at a sustainable level in most places and certainly gives me hope that the industry in this part of the world will remain considerably stronger than in the more over-developed markets elsewhere."
"The Asian markets tend to run equipment harder and for longer than is the case in most parts of the west," says Prickett. "We regularly see replacement cycles running to ten years, but equally the courses are generally adept at keeping the machines serviceable themselves, with most employing at least one mechanic, and usually more. One of the things most manufacturers in Asia believe very strongly in is ongoing professional development and specific technical education for course operatives, superintendents and technicians. Grass species vary widely across the huge geography of Asia so we have to ensure that products are capable of dealing with large fluctuations in temperature and humidity, as well as the differing characteristics of the grasses."
"There seems to be no question that the days of wild golf-growth in Asia are now behind us, and some of the countries above have seen serious challenges to new developments, particularly China, but this remains the most active region of the world for new golf," says Jacobsen's Alan Prickett. "In markets like Myanmar, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, we are seeing a steady increase in golf course construction and a noticeable increase in the demand for golf from the emerging middle class. The major 'high-ticket' opportunities we have are, in the main, related to these new-builds, but it is also true to say that many of the courses in Asia can be described as premium golf venues, so there is an ongoing demand for machinery to keep these facilities in tip-top condition."
But the one characteristic that holds true across the entire Asian continent is the need to take a local view of each market. "In each country, you have to have the right local partner, or you're not going to get it done," says Andy Dye. "How do you get through the political, social and economic hurdles in each country? You need a suitable local partner. And you have to be prepared sometimes to tell your client 'Hey, you're wrong'. They don't like to hear it, especially in emerging markets, because they're typically the chairman of a big company, used to hearing people tell them they're right. But you have to tell them."
China, Asia's dominant economy, has seen the most dramatic growth in golf construction in the last decade
China, Asia's dominant economy, has seen the most dramatic growth in golf construction in the last decade, but the complex relationship the country's government has with the game is holding development back. There have long been rumours that golf will be formally legalised and properly regulated in China, but such a change of status seems no nearer now than ever. "
They've been doing that 'looking the other way' thing for a long time, in golf and other things, and frankly I think they have no choice but to carry on," says Andy Dye. "It's cultural there, how they do things. And I don't think there's a pressing reason to do it otherwise. They might do it in ten years, but to them ten years is like tomorrow. We call China the modern miracle, but they view their civilisation as going back thousands of years. They are aiming for economic stabilisation now; although there are a lot of people who have shared in China's economic growth, there are hundreds of millions who are still extremely poor. And though golf isn't a big issue in reality, it's high profile."
Architect Dana Fry, much of whose business has been focused on China for some years, agrees. "Lots of projects are on hold in China until the government hands down new regulations," he says. "There are many rumours, some suggesting that there will be only a certain number of permits handed out, as was the case in Vietnam, for example, or maybe limiting the kind of sites golf can be built on. But it is very unpredictable, and until the government moves it is difficult for developers to get access to bank loans." "We used to send grass to, on average, seven or eight projects a year in China," says John Holmes of grass supplier Atlas Turf. "This year, only two, and I'm not expecting any more."
South Korea
The Korean golf explosion is perhaps the game's greatest recent success story. From 24 courses and a total of 750,000 rounds in 1980, the country's market has expanded to well over 400 courses and nearly 27 million rounds now. Korean golfers have achieved huge successes on both male and female professional tours, and research by golf consultant Ha Jong-du shows an average number of rounds per course in excess of 60,000 – which implies demand for additional facilities. And, indeed, more courses are currently being built: architect Kyle Phillips's spectacular new South Cape course on an island off the country's southern coast is expected by many to challenge the Nine Bridges course, which has long been regarded as the country's best.
"I've lived in the Philippines in the past and did four courses there," says Andy Dye. "Now, we have a full time office in the country. They have a great golf history going back forever, unlike say China, where it's all new. The Filipino economy is improving. Certain parts are overdeveloped with golf, but in others there's a demand for more. There's some remodel work coming up – some of the older courses have been let go and need to be updated. And we have a new-build project north of Manila, based on tourism and golf. The country has infrastructure and security issues, just like other growing economies, but Filipino golfers are a very strong base for the game. Golf is how many families get together, and is used to do business a lot. And they love the game."
"Indonesia remains pretty strong," says Dana Fry. "Their economy is still doing pretty well, and there's a certain amount of both new build and renovation activity." "Developers in Indonesia are looking for a new model," says Andy Dye. "They had an economic model, but now, with cost of maintenance, they want a model where membership dues pay for the operation of the club. The way they look at it, once the golf course and the development is up and they've made a profit, they believe the golf course has to be self-sustaining. President Suharto was a big golfer; in that era they did a lot of business on golf courses, but now, you see a lot of courses where there isn't enough money to maintain the course properly, and they're trying to figure a way round that."
India has the longest history of golf in Asia; in fact, it has the longest history of golf anywhere in the world outside the UK, and arguably outside Scotland. The country's first golf club, Royal Calcutta, was formed by Scottish expats in the British colonial service back in 1829, and, like another imperial import, cricket, golf has become a significant part of Indian life.
"India is a vibrant country that is brimming with commercial success and has a real appetite for golf," Troon Golf executive Bruce Glasco told KPMG's Golf Business Community in a recent interview. "While domestic real estate sales on golf courses in premium resorts represents the lowest hanging fruit for developers, I believe inbound international golf tourism will evolve in India as the destination progresses its tourism strategy and maintains its economic trajectory in target markets. The mystic of India and the growing infrastructure should make for an attractive prospect for the most discerning of golfers and certainly for businessmen and women the world over."
"India is going to struggle for a while because of the devaluation of the rupee," says John Holmes. "Unless they're using local materials or services, the weak currency means they are going to be paying more for everything they have to buy in – design services, materials. Coupled with the problems of land cost there, I think that market is one that will be slow for some time."
Lao Country Club, Laos
Located near capital city Vientiane, the 18-hole course at Lao Country Club is one of a small number of golf facilities available in Laos
Located near capital city Vientiane, the 18-hole course at Lao Country Club is one of a small number of golf facilities available in Laos, a landlocked country in southeast Asia that lies between Vietnam and Thailand.
Korean architect Dr Ryu Chang-Hyun completed the redesign of the former Youth Garden Golf Course in 2011, overseeing construction and supervising the entire project from start to finish, ensuring the course was prepared in accordance with his design plans.
The course lies on predominantly flat land and the region has very distinct dry and rainy seasons, meaning that weather extremes need to be considered within maintenance plans for clubs in the region. This was also factored into Ryu's redesign project, with particular attention given to planning to ensure that the construction team was carrying out activities at the most appropriate times.
The course's most dramatic hole is the par-five 541-metre fifth. The tee shot requires golfers to avoid a lake to the right of the fairway, and the hole also features an iconic dead tree. A point of contention during construction, the team had initially favoured the tree's removal. But Ryu decided to keep it, believing it added a unique and memorable aesthetic appeal. Also, the tree's bark has whitened over time, making it stand out and giving players a reference point for their tee shot.
The course has paspalum grass fairways and zoysia rough, the distinct hues of each creating visual contrast and definition. The greens are TifEagle bermuda.
Laguna Lang Co, Vietnam
Faldo Design's Laguna Lang Co course, on Vietnam's central coast near the city of Danang, is among Asia's most interesting new courses.
Designed to play hard and bouncy, like a links, it is the first course in the region to use manilagrass (zoysia matrella) on the fairways. Asian turfgrass expert Dr Micah Woods says manilagrass is effectively the tropical equivalent of fine fescue, as it has evolved to survive in low resource areas of tropical countries.
It seems to be working. Atlas Turf's John Holmes says: "I played Laguna on a recent trip to Vietnam, and it was extremely fast and firm, perhaps the fastest I've seen in south-east Asia." Faldo lead designer Paul Jansen adds: "A good proportion of the course's playing strategy is dictated by some of the fantastic ground contours found over the site and the desire to maintain hard and fast playing conditions. Though I'm biased I love the variety of the Lang Co course – it is surrounded by rice paddies, streams, sea, exposed sand and blow outs, rocks and trees."

Women and children killed in air strikes on rebel-held village in Syria
At least 17 people including women and children have been killed in air strikes on a rebel-held village in north-west Syria, activists and rescue workers said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the overnight strikes hit a village in southern Idlib province.
The Observatory said at least four children and two women were among those killed.
The province is a rebel and insurgent stronghold and President Bashar Assad's forces have recently launched an offensive to try to retake it after losing it nearly three years ago.
The Syrian Civil Defence, the team of first responders also known as the White Helmets, said the high explosive air strikes destroyed an entire block. The group put the death toll at 19.
The defence group also posted pictures of its volunteers struggling to pull bodies from the rubble and described the air strikes as highly explosive.
Images posted by a local activist-operated media platform, the Idlib Media Centre, showed a twisted car next to rubble of squashed buildings.
Idlib is a rebel and insurgent stronghold where President Bashar Assad's forces have recently launched an offensive to try and retake the province after losing it nearly three years ago.
Intense fighting in recent days has brought government troops into Idlib's southern edges for the first time in years and air strikes have intensified amid the offensive.

More Hawaii
We had tons of fun on our trip. We stayed at a fun resort on the beach. The resort had four smaller private beaches and a cool swimming pool. We are excited to take the kids there in the future. On our first day, Monday, we just hung out and rested from our flight. We found the stores for food and supplies. We also found a McDonald's which sold SPAM. It is a popular meat in Hawaii. Funny thing is both Darin and I remember eating Spam when we were kids. We will be having a meal with Spam, rice and pineapple soon, all are welcome to come!! : ) On Tuesday, we went to Pearl Harbor. What an amazing place. We walked through a submarine, toured the area then took a short boat ride over to the USS Arizona. To walk on the deck of the memorial and see the oil drops in the water, it was all surreal. After that we went on a hike up to Diamond Head. It is an extinct volcano and was a great hike. Cory and I tried to run up part of it, but kept getting stopped by people who were wearing flip flops or heals. Serious? On a hike? It was a fun hike. More days to come . . .

5 Instagram accounts that will cause some serious Tokyo dreamin'
A city that surprised me in each step I walked. The city of light, crowd, shops, sushi, bonsai, cosplay, manga, karaoke and amazing architecture. Japan is such a small country, but has so much to offer. The culture is fascinating in all perspectives: history, society, economy and courage. Tokyo is a city to remember, and I hope I will come back to see the city that made me shine. Here are some of my favourite photographers from this mesmerising city:

Bread Pudding
Ahhh. Bread pudding. When I eat this I just feel at home, it is just one of those dishes I guess. Perfectly gooey with a little bit of crunch, nothing but bread and a sweet sugar and cinnamon flavor. I opt out of putting anything such as raisins in my bread pudding, it ruins it! This was the best bread pudding I have ever had...I will now be making it with every extra piece of bread I have! Enjoy...seriousoly...Enjoy...
2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar (white or brown, depending on taste preference)
3 eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups bread, torn into small pieces (french bread works best)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
In medium saucepan, over medium heat, heat milk just until film forms over top. Add butter to warm milk, stirring until butter is melted. Cool to lukewarm. Combine sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for 1 minute. Slowly add milk mixture.
Place bread in a lightly greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Sprinkle with raisins if desired. Pour batter on top of bread. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 to 50 minutes or until set. Serve warm with sauce below.
1 cup whole milk
2 Tbsp. butter
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. flour
dash of salt
Mix everything together and bring to a boil for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Set aside for 5 minutes, then pour on warm bread pudding.

Chicken Cordon Bleu with Honey Mustard Sauce
Yummy, yummy, yummy! This meal was delicious...especially with the Honey Mustard Sauce to top it off. Cody doesn't like mustard, so he ate it plain and still loved it. It is a relatively easy meal that has a great presentation. Making this for guests would WOW them without much work from your end...now that's what I call a good meal!
From: The Open Pantry
4-8 slices of Ham
4 slices of Swiss Cheese
1/3 cup bread crumbs
Lay the butterflied chicken breasts flat, lightly salt and pepper. Place a slice or two of ham and then swiss cheese on top of chicken and roll up, secure the rolled chicken with toothpicks and then dredge milk or egg, and then in bread crumbs.
Honey Mustard Sauce
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
3 Tbsp Honey
2 Tbsp Brown mustard or Whole Grain Mustard
1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
3 Tbs Milk
Combine all the ingredients in a sauce pan and heat thru, add milk to reach the consistency that you desire. Serve the sauce hot with Chicken Cordon Bleu.

Thai Peanut Chicken
Chalk it up for another DELICIOUS 30-minute meal! I seriously made this in about 3 minutes. What a wonderful thing a crock pot is...
Okay, so is it just me or do ALL crock pot recipes tell you to cook on HIGH for way too long of a time? I seriously never pay attention to the time on the recipes...I have just lived and learned I guess! This was such a different recipe for us, which is ALWAYS fun! For me to cook, anyway! It ended up really well. There are a few things that I would change here and there, and I have done that. I was afraid, for some reason, that this would be way too strange for our taste buds. Well, it ends up that is was very fitting. It was FLAVORFUL, not spicy, which is always good for us, we are wimps! It was also a quick, yummy, crock pot meal, which gives it a couple more stars on my list.
Thai Peanut Chicken
Printable Version
3 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts(I threw them in the crock pot frozen!)
3/4 cup medium or hot salsa(we used mild)
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 Tbs. lime juice
1 Tbs. soy sauce (or this to be GF)
1 Tbs. brown sugar
½ tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. grated fresh ginger root (or 1 tsp. ground ginger)
1/3 cup coconut milk
cilantro(for garnish, a necessity to us!)
chopped peanuts(for garnish)
Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix salsa, peanut butter, lim juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and ginger root. Pour mixture over chicken. Cook on low for 4-5 hours. remove chicken from cooker and shred into large pieces. Return to crock pot. Add coconut milk and turn to warm setting for 15-20 minutes prior to serving.
Serve over rice or noodles.
Top with cilantro and peanuts. My husband LOVED the cilantro, as did I. I would NEVER make this meal without it...it gives it just the right PUNCH at the end! Enjoy!
Serves 4-6

Hawaiian BBQ Chicken
Talk about easy and delicious, this is it! My husband whipped this up in minutes, and we loved every bite! I highly recommend this meal, I know that we will be eating it often! I consider this a 30 minute meal, because it literally takes 10 minutes or less to prepare.
Coconut Chicken Curry
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch chunks or strips
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika (substitute cayenne pepper if you like the heat)
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 red or russett potatoes, cut into chunks and pre-cooked
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
Jasmine rice (cooked)
Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat oil, curry powder, and paprika in a large skillet over medium-low heat for two minutes, until fragrant (but don't let it burn). Turn the heat up to medium and stir in onions(which I pureed) and garlic and cook ten minutes more or until onions are very clear. Add chicken, tossing lightly to coat with curry oil and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and is cooked through. Add potatoes, then add coconut milk, tomatoes (I blended mine before adding in order to make a chunk-free meal!), tomato sauce, and sugar into the pan, and stir to combine. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes or until sauce thickens. The sauce thickens upon standing, but is great served piping hot (and a bit thinner), too. Serve with Jasmine rice (or your favorite rice) and garnish with cilantro, if desired.

Pumpkin Bars
Yummy, yummy...or so I hear! I am still doing the Gluten-free thing, but not everyone in my life is! I was headed to a dinner with my hubby, sister + fam, Grandma and Grandpa, and Aunt and Uncle and I was in charge of dessert. My mom had made these and said that they were delicious. She took them to work and every was ranting and raving about how wonderful they were. So, I decided, even though I can't eat them, I have to make them just to see how they turn out. My hubby's first reaction was, "O, these are NOT good!" Aka: never make them again because I will just eat the entire batch and get fat. Thanks for another one Mel!
4 eggs
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil (can substitute 1/2 cup applesauce for 1/2 cup oil)
15-ounce can pumpkin
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Using an electric mixer at medium speed, combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until light and fluffy. Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and mix at low speed until thoroughly combined and the batter is smooth. Spread the batter into a greased 13 by 10-inch baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting. Cut into bars.
To make the icing: Combine the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and mix at low speed until combined. Stir in the vanilla and mix again. Spread on cooled pumpkin bars.

Apple Cider Chicken
Alpine Touch
I have had a few inquiries about the spice that I use on EVERYTHING, Alpine Touch. I use it in virtually every recipe, even if I do not list it. From eggs in the morning to casseroles, chicken, and steak at night. I put it on potatoes, broccoli, asparagus, every side dish that you can think of. Anyway, enough of the raving. I am not sure how to explain it...it is a spiced-up salt and pepper with 10 times the flavor. It is delicious! I challenge you to try it...you will not regret it!

Lemon Curd
This is the dessert that I learned to make in my most recent cooking class. It is simply...delightful. Not to mention, it is done in a microwave! A traditional curd is done on a double-boiler, and can curdle very easily. This is stirred every minute, preventing it from curdling. Kelcey was honestly embarassed to give us a microwave recipe, but she said it is her #1 go-to recipe for lemon curd, and that she will never do it any other way!

Spain goes to the polls on Sunday to elect a new government and, yes, my question is facetious. Of course the elections are not pointless; no democratic election ever is. Apart from anything the people will get their chance to pass judgment on the record of Prime Minister Zapatero and his Socialists. Polls point to a big thumbs down and the election of the PP and their leader Mariano Rajoy who has tried and failed to win twice before.
But will it make much difference whatever happens? Spain is so close to the eye of the Eurozone storm that any new government will be powerless against the combined forces of the bond markets and the Eurozone. The PP are talking tough about bank reforms (which will surely send Spanish property prices down further – How the bailout could send Spanish property crashing) and labour market reform but it will be Germany and the ECB that decides Spain's fate.
Look at the way that Berlusconi was finally forced from power. The Italians are well rid of him but it took Eurozone threats to do the job. It is notable that the new Italian government contains not a single elected minister.
Over in Greece the call for a referendum to get popular support for austerity measures was taken as a "breach of trust" by France and Germany; Papandreou was kicked out and Greece was effectively blackmailed into cancelling the vote.
I don't subscribe to the theory that the Southern European countries are being drawn into a German super state but they certainly have lost control of their destiny. Either Spain and the others will be rescued by Germany or it will be forced to crash out of the Euro. It's that simple and Sunday's vote will not change a thing.

Meaning of Name assignment:
Most of the websites I went on described my first name, Brandi, as a variant of Brandy, so it comes from the alcoholic beverage. One site did say that the Italian meaning was a form of Brand, meaning fiery beacon, which is better than being named after alcohol. My last name, Chang, has a much longer history and a lot more meanings, so I don't really know which one is right. It was derived from the name Zhang, or is more like a variant of it. Some of the meanings include: drawing a bow, archer, bowyer, flourish, prosper, sunlight, smooth, free and long, depending on which Chinese character you use to spell it.
I know my mom named me Brandi after a singer, thankfully not after a drink, and my last name is from my dad. I couldn't really find any other cultural/religious meanings because I am running out of time but I think the definitions I found are pretty good. I don't think I've ever been embarrassed by my name, but I do remember whenever people found out my last name was Chinese they were a little surprised because I look white. I haven't changed my name or adopted a new name because I do kind of like it and I don't have another name that I absolutely love enough to change my name to.

Oscar Isaac to reteam with director Alex Garland for Annihilation
The Tracking Board has learned that Oscar Isaac will reteam with his EX MACHINA director Alex Garland for ANNIHILATION, a big screen adaptation of the first novel in author Jeff VanderMeer's "Southern Reach" trilogy. Isaac joins the previously cast Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson and Gina Rodriguez, and although there's no word on his role in the film, the actor will probably be playing the husband to Portman's character.
The sci-fi thriller will follow "a biologist (Portman) who, in seeking answers to her husband's tragic disappearance, volunteers for a government expedition into an area sealed off as an environmental disaster zone. What she discovers, however, is pristine wilderness, and a mysterious dark force within it."
A release date hasn't been announced yet for ANNIHILATION, however it will more than likely open sometime next year since filming is expected to kick off this spring.
Isaac can be seen next as the titular villain in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE, which will arrive in theaters on May 27, 2016.

About Autumn
I am an animal lover to all!
I previously owned 2 shelties and had them both for 3 years since they were puppies.They were rather tough to train so I have experience dealing with stubborn pups. I have done a little bit of pet sitting as well over the years with up to 5 dogs in the house. As an animal lover (especially to dogs) I believe that will make me a good dog sitter and walker. And as long as ...
What Autumn would like to know about your dog
Is it house trained? Is it good with other dogs or kids? Does it have the tendency to tear things up?

A mega classic fun line of technical pinching and body tension. Start sitting matched on the obvious chalked "nose" at the bottom of the scoop and move up through opposing slopey pinches in the roof above the scoop, finishing with a pull to a great edge over the lip and a bucket. Feels wickedly sandbagged at first and then when you figure it out is dead on for the grade.
On the "Cracked Egg" boulder in the topo on this site. It's the obvious chalked line starting low in the big scoop on the southwest side of the boulder.

Not too warm and not too cold.
Cold breezes are only an excuse when you have Gore Bike Wear's WindStopper Base Layer Shirt in your collection. Why? Because the WindStopper Shirt will protect you from harsh winds, regardless of the season.
For its construction, Gore combined a polyester knit with its proprietary WindStopper membrane. As a 100% windproof fabric, Gore's WindStopper was incorporated in the front, shoulders, and kidney panels in order to keep your core warm. In addition to being windproof, the WindStopper membrane is also highly breathable and quite efficient at managing moisture. In fact, by transporting moisture from the skin to the surface of the fabric, this membrane keeps you dry and comfortable. And because cool temperatures won't stop you from working up a sweat, the rear window has been constructed of a polyester blend to vent any excess heat.
Gore constructed this base layer around a contoured fit. Accordingly, this shirt is designed for the cycling position, meaning that it will move with you instead of binding and bunching. Along these lines, Gore also incorporated flatlock stitching for the seams. This provides an even closer fit while also doing away with chafing at the seams.
The Gore Bike Wear WindStopper Shirt is available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large and in the colors Black and White.

Great part of the cool weather arsenal
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Medium
I really like this base layer as a way of making other parts of my cycling wardrobe more versatile. Basically, I like to have wind stopping as a core way to deal with cooler temperatures. Straight thermal insulation, for me, tends to too hot under hard efforts (climbs) and not enough at speed (descents). I can combine this jersey under tops that don't have wind stopping to deal with those 50F plus conditions effectively. Lately I have found Gore has leaned toward race fit, so Medium worked well, where small often works in other brands.
What does waist length mean? Is the shirt long enough to tuck into cycling shorts?
Hi Horace,
The length of this is long enough that it will still tuck into the shorts. If you have any other questions on this item or others, please reach out to me.
Does what it advertises!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
This baselayer is great. Breathes well and keeps the wind off your chest. The mesh back and under the arms help vent off heat buildup. I have a 40" chest and originally ordered the XL. It was too loose and I went to a L which fits great. Seriously thinking about getting another. Did a 24 hour, 235 mile ride in it last weekend.

Mumbai: Television actress Shivya Pathania was in for a pleasant surprise recently when she was mistaken for Bollywood's voluptuous actress Sonakshi Sinha here recently during promotions for her debut show "Humsafars".
"When were in Lucknow Sep 17 for the launch of our show, there were some people who were saying Sonakshi Sinha has come. Initially, I did not realise it, but later I came to know that they were referring to me. I was quite surprised," Shivya said in a statement.
"Sonakshi is very pretty and if people think I resemble her, then it's surely a compliment. However, I would like to be known as Shivya," she added.
Shivya, who was crowned Miss Shimla in 2013, is seen as an aspiring fashion designer in the Sony TV's weekly show, which is aired at 10.30 p.m.

Whilst one of my friends was on a safari tour in South Africa, yet another embarked on a trip to Bangkok for a song-n-dance routine - A third pal of mine was gallivanting in Sikkim fresh from the success of selling "our" first movie script (Girish, I will never ever forgive u for this) whilst the fourth seemed to be holidaying in a beach in Kerala days after joining the 'rigorous' IIMs. With so much excitement happening around the world, can I be far behind ? Guess Guess.
Okie, I was reeling from an experience which had more excitement that what I had Bargained for even in my wildest dreams. I was busy controlling a flood. Okie, as usual I exaggerate but Sunday evening was the time the Rain Gods chose to bless Bangalore with all the water that was due for the last two years - all the water that cost SM Krishna his re-election. And Sunday evening was also the time, the underground water pipe in Koramangla First Block decided it was time to go phhhhtttt. The result was that at 7:08 pm, water entered our house.
My folks, having witnessed a messy flood in 1977, were naturally aghast but innocent me was reveling in the joys of seeing a new spectacle. It wasn't until the water level in our hall rose to around 4 inches that some sense prevailed on me. I have never understood how on earth my MBA helps in my present role as an SME but it sure seems to have taught me composure and presence of mind. With the calm approach of a practiced hand, I was soon shifting my new TV, old washing machine and our really old dining table to the first floor. Next thing I understood was that water is always very difficult to contain - so the easiest way to get rid of it is to help it find its flow. So I managed to find a small outlet to the earth near our garden and helped divert some water there. Lastly, the biggest learning was that when there are problems like this never visit the Johnny - coz the damn thing never flushes. It comes back.. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeek.
The scene yesterday night at around 12 was that all the water had drained but the place was a big mess full of leaves, twigs and wot-not. Needless to say I had a sleepless night. I was in no mood to come to office today but as usual, a person's true worth is known only when they are not around (sob sob..Kisiki yaad aa gayi) - so many fone calls asking me " Jupe, yeh kaise karna hai" "Jupe, aaj custy visit hai.. aa jao plssss.. Wipro needs you" - So I had to come here. The meeting just got over. N I HAD to blog - hence am here. But believe me folks, I think I will settle for something less excitable next weekend. I have made plans too. Am gonna hire a sports bicycle, wear 2/3rd trousers, spike up my hair (yaaaaaaaaaaaaa), wear orange shades and ride up and down Brigade and MG. Wotsay ?
PS: The high point of y'day evening was when I wanted to take a snap of our house at around 8 pm. Needless to say, u can imagine how my folks reacted.

Hi guys,
Hope u r all having a great time.. wish u all a great football season. I wouldn't be able to follow the matches closely this time coz we ve got loads of work happening with "malarvaadi" right now.. Infact the expectation is too much that working with a cool head has become almost impossible now.. {still, trying to.. :-)}
Malarvaadi 's music has fetched great reviews from all over. But I am not here to talk about that. A few people ve got this feeling that I ve this intoxication for doing everything on my own. So i felt certain things ve to be clarified..
Talking about lyrics, approaching an experienced lyricist and getting our work done was easy. But what we wanted in this film was different. All the songs in Malarvaadi [except kashmalan] are part of the film's screenplay. While writing the film, I always tried not to bring literature into the conversation of characters, coz in real life we don't do so. Things ve to be straight.. that's exactly what we tried in lyrics also.. "straight writing" .. no simile, no metaphors, no poetic references.. just the matter.. so that the songs will go hand in hand with the screenplay.. I ve seen lyricists like Prasoon Joshi [Rang de Basanti, Delhi 6], Javed Akthar [Rock On] and Abbas Tyrewala [Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na] doing it in hindi. I ve a lot of love for my language. We ve not used a single English word in any song. There is a definite thought behind every song and it has all been approached with sincerity.
Right now, we r working on the back ground music of our film. Like I said before, doing the conventional stuff is easy and less time consuming. But we ve decided to experiment here to. Of course its risky. But, at the age of 25, when I ve got my vein and blood full of cinema, if I am not ready to experiment, then……… then I shouldn't be doing this, right?

Hargrave set to open season
The Huffman Hargrave Lady Falcons picked up 22 wins last season, none of them bigger than the last.
That's when they claimed the volleyball program's first playoff victory, beating Hamshire-Fannett for a Class 3A bi-district championship.
"We did make history, as far as being the first-ever bi-district champs in school history," Hargrave coach Celsa McGaughey said.
"And then we met up with La Grange for area. We lost to them in three sets, but it was probably one of the best games that we've ever played. We looked up and it was like, 'Oh my gosh, it's over.'"
La Grange was one of the top 10 teams in the state last year, providing the returning players with a measuring stick for where the need to be this season, when they plan on challenging for a district title.
Of course, that means getting past another area power in Tarkington, which handed them their only losses in District 22-3A play last year.
But first things first.
The Lady Falcons open the 2011 season with a matchup against a Class 4A team in Humble, albeit one that's struggled in recent year. The two teams meet at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 9, at Hargrave.
Matchup: Huffman Hargrave vs. Humble
When: 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9
Where: Hargrave High School
What's at stake: The Lady Falcons face their first test of 2011 in a match that counts after scrimmaging at Hamshire-Fannett and Kingwood Park over the weekend. They have high expectations this season, so a strong start is an important. The Lady Wildcats are looking to keep improving after recording their first wins of any kind in four years last season.
Hargrave players to watch: S Faith Pate, RS Maegan Booth, DS Kaeli Fletcher, MB Tara Bowers
Humble players to watch: OH/MB Lenicia Tyson, OH/MB Shequera Crockett, S Wendy Gama, RS Sharica Flournoy
Hargrave: The Lady Falcons graduated three seniors in outside hitter Shelbee Pier (San Jacinto College), middle blocker Carly Cooper (Southwestern) and libero Rachael Brownlow, who's playing softball at San Jac.
Humble: The Lady Wildcats won only a handful of matches last season, not enough to push their record north of .500 for the season, but any wins represented an improvement for a team that didn't record a single win in the previous three seasons, all in 5A, combined.

Simon proofread my introduction last night, and wanted me to take out the part about him liking frozen pizza. I refused, and then I told him how Amy said in her intro post that her family has pizza every Saturday. He went nuts! Now he wants pizza every Saturday!
So I made homemade pizza for the first time in years. I can't stand frozen pizza amymore so I insisted on making it. I used a new recipe and it was AMAZING. I spread fine cornmeal on the bottom of the crust and it was lovely and crispy. I topped mine with caramelised red onion, feta cheese, mushrooms, and kalamata olives, and Simon had pepperoni and mushrooms. We made an extra and used all the toppings on it. They looked better as I went along.
The fruits of my labours:

Warren Buffett says we should all buy stocks. He also says the people who lost money buying equities in the 20th century were those who only bought when they were comfortable doing so, which he says is a clear sign of their failings as investors.
The conventional wisdom is that we should at the very least give Buffett the benefit of the doubt where investing advice is concerned. Many small investors and retirement savers will probably enthusiastically cheer what he says.
But Buffett's plea, printed in the New York Times on Friday, seems somewhat superfluous. We are all buying stocks now, whether we want to or not. As taxpayers we own huge chunks of the country's financial system. Our central bank has put itself, and by extension the rest of us, in the business of lending to companies. And in any case, most of us with jobs that offer market-based retirement accounts buy stocks each pay cycle. Since most of us work for companies where pensions are not an option, we don't necessarily have very much choice about how we go about trying to build a retirement nest egg.
So thanks Mr. Buffett, for your insight and your advice, but it's a little unclear where many retirement savers will get the money to buy more U.S. equities at this point. After all, the 401(k) statements that will soon be arriving in the mail are unlikely to inspire confidence, or show that we have the money to buy equities even as the economy tanks.
A short-sighted argument? Perhaps, but as people around the country rethink retirement, or put off collecting Social Security in the hope of getting bigger checks later, the advice of a billionaire who has profited mightily during this downturn sticks in the craw. Just a little.
After a mad week of trading, U.S. stocks ended well above where they started the week. Not much of an accomplishment, given current market levels, but it's better than more losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 8,852.22, a loss of 127.04 points or 1.4%. For the week the blue chip index rose 4.8%. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index fell 6.42 points, or 0.4%, to close at 1,711.29, bringing it to a weekly gain of 3.8%. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 5.88 points, or 0.6%, to close at 940.55. For the week the index rose 4.6%.
Stay tuned to MarketWatch over the weekend for more news and information that affects your life and your portfolio. Our weekend feature is a market playbook and should offer insight into how to navigate these turbulent times.
-- Christopher Noble, assistant managing editor
Building up the banks
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson announced an extraordinary investment by the federal government in the U.S. banking system this week, laying out an unprecedented plan to give $250 billion to banks to repair the faltering financial system and get lending started again. Only a few weeks ago, Paulson said that giving banks capital would be a sign of failure, but he changed his mind after global stock markets crashed and stress in the financial system rose to previously unimaginable levels. Get more details.
A helping hand for UBS
The Swiss government became the first to take troubled assets off a bank's balance sheet, reaching a deal with UBS to absorb up to $60 billion in mostly mortgage-related assets. In addition, the government is taking a 9% stake in UBS DJIA, +0.59% (002489948) in return for an injection of 6 billion Swiss francs ($5.25 billion) into the world's largest asset manager. Find out more.
More profit declines
J.P. Morgan Chase JPM said its third-quarter net income fell 84% amid the worst banking environment in 70 years, and the firm cautioned that earnings would remain weak for several quarters to come. The results included $3.6 billion of write-downs, as well as $640 million of losses linked with the Washington Mutual takeover. Read the full report.
Slowing sales
U.S. retail sales fell 1.2% in September, the worst drop in three years and the third decline in a row, a further sign that the economy has sunk into a recession led by an exhausted consumer. The 1.2% decline reported by the Commerce Department on Wednesday was worse than the 0.8% drop forecast by economists surveyed by MarketWatch. Sales in July and August were revised marginally lower, signaling that real consumer spending likely fell in the quarter for the first time in 17 years. Get more details.
Apocalypse now? Maybe not
At times like these, where new records are set daily and 500- and 600-point days in either direction are regarded as more of the same, it's easy to suspend reality and indulge in talk of new eras, ends of Wall Street and capitalism, and collapsing of empires. But a quick look at history shows that very often these grand statements and feelings are nothing but just that -- statements and feelings. In reality, not much really changes. Read David Callaway's column.
Growing unemployment lines
More than 750,000 jobs have disappeared from the U.S. economy this year, and workers face the prospect of more layoffs ahead. The good news is that workers can look for red flags. After all, experts say that knowing that a job loss is coming is a first step to getting back on your feet. Learn five omens that may portend a pink slip.
Making sense of a deal
Give Microsoft Corp. MSFT Chief Executive Steve Ballmer a platform, and the odds are good that he'll use it to express his opinion about something. On Thursday at the Gartner ITXpo, Ballmer let it be known what he thinks of the possibility that Microsoft might still try to acquire Yahoo UBS, +2.42% Find out what he said.
More M&A talks
Skeptics may question the upside of a merger between two of America's struggling car giants, but Wall Street clearly backed the concept Monday as shares of General Motors Corp. JPM, +0.81% and Ford Motor Co. MSFT, +0.35% mounted stunning rallies. With the credit crisis in full swing and car sales plunging to levels not seen in 15 years, GM has lost 74% year to date and Ford is down 64%. But reports over the weekend of a possible merger between GM and privately held Chrysler and of prior discussions between GM and Ford apparently gave investors some hope that consolidation could help cure the ailing industry. Find out more.
Signs of stress
Chip giant Intel Corp. INTC reported better-than-expected results this week, while warning that the global financial crisis has led to "signs of stress" and market uncertainty. The tech giant posted a 12% jump in third-quarter net profit, but came out with a cautious outlook for the fourth quarter, confirming what many analysts already believe is a weakening tech market. Read the full story.
Google tops estimates
Shares of Google Inc. GM, +0.32% jumped Friday, a day after the Internet giant's third-quarter profit bested Wall Street's expectations despite uncertainty about the health of the online advertising market and a strengthening dollar. Chief Executive Eric Schmidt said during a conference call with analysts that in addition to keeping tight control on costs, the company also benefited from advertisers seeking out more targeted search advertisements on Google in order to trim their budgets.

Oblivious Signature-Based Envelope
Prof. Ninghui Li - Purdue University
Sep 03, 2003
AbstractExchange of digitally signed certificates is often used to establish mutual trust between strangers that wish to share resources or to conduct business transactions. Automated Trust Negotiation (ATN) is an approach to regulate the flow of sensitive information during such an exchange. Previous work on ATN are based on access control techniques, and cannot handle cyclic policy interdependency satisfactorily. We show that the problem can be modelled as a 2-party secure function evaluation (SFE) problem, and propose a scheme called oblivious signature-based envelope (OSBE) for efficiently solving the SFE problem. We develop a provably secure and efficient OSBE protocol for certificates signed using RSA signatures. We also build provably secure and efficient one-round OSBE for Rabin and BLS signatures from recent constructions for identity-based encryption. We also discuss other applications of OSBE.
About the SpeakerProf. Ninghui Li joined Purdue in August 2003 as an assistant professor in Computer Sciences.
Unless otherwise noted, the security seminar is held on Wednesdays at 4:30P.M. STEW G52 (Suite 050B), West Lafayette Campus. More information...

« Downey, diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, an inspiration to many | Main | Religious legacy lives on in Alaska »
Senate candidates slow to take a stand
Alaska is home to more than 70,000 disabled adults, but those voters have no obvious champion among the leading contenders in the U.S. Senate race.
Neither do the homeless or their advocates. And gay voters have only a long-shot candidate to voice support of same-sex civil marriages.
For the most part, candidates are treading lightly around unpopular or divisive issues, focusing their official Web sites on catchphrases like energy development, veterans affairs and gun rights. They talk about their commitment to health care and social issues, without directly addressing disabled or homeless constituents.
"Alaskans with disabilities are a significant voting bloc, and they're not getting adequate attention from the U.S. Senate candidates," said Kelly Donnelly with the Center for Human Development at the University of Alaska Anchorage. "It reflects our society at large, which still looks at the disabled as a segregated population."

Unsurprisingly, Sebastien Ogier claimed his fifth win of 2015 at the LOTOS Rally Poland this weekend, ahead of Volkswagen team-mate Andreas Mikkelsen.
Ogier led the proceedings from Friday afternoon and survived an attack from Mikkelsen this morning to remain out front during two runnings of the Baranowo stage.
Jari-Matti Latvala was unable to make it an all-Volkswagen podium, having crashed in the final stage whilst attempting to catch Ott Tanak. The M-Sport driver therefore scored his first top-three finish of 2015.
Overall, Ogier held a lead of 11.9 seconds after 19 stages, and Tanak finished 23 seconds down on the leader. A further 21.7 seconds behind was Latvala, followed by a Hyundai duo of Hayden Paddon and Thierry Neuville. The latter had an issue this morning when he rolled and picked up a wooden post, but was able to finish the rally despite sustaining serious damage.
In seventh place was Citroen's Kris Meeke who bounced back from a roll in Thursday's shakedown. Eighth position went to home favourite Robert Kubica ahead of Mads Østberg and Dani Sordo.
"I have had so many great wins, but no-one wanted to help me on this one," said Ogier, who won eight of the 18 stages. "I was first on the road for 90% of the rally and I have 28 points again. We had to push from the first metre to the last one and I enjoyed that. Now I have a small break and I go on the beach in the Bahamas…"
