STOCKHOLM – Switzerland scored first, but hosts Sweden dominated the last 55 minutes to become the first home team to win gold since 1986. It is the nation's ninth World Championship gold medal.
For the Swiss, it was their first loss of the tournament after nine straight wins and only their second silver medal ever after finishing runner-up in 1935, their highest finish at any IIHF international hockey event.
"We're disappointed about the game," said Switzerland coach Sean Simpson. "We lost it, and we won nine games before. Not many people believed before the tournament that we would play in a World Championship final. I'm very proud of the work our team has done and about the silver medal. Switzerland has to be proud of this team. This team is a role model with its willingness, character and energy. What we did for Swiss hockey is a sensation. To be so close to the world title is super. We'll try it again."
"We were able to match their intensity at the start," said Swiss defenceman Philippe Furrer. "We had a lot of chances but couldn't score, and they did."
Henrik Sedin led the offence with two goals and an assist. Goalie Jhonas Enroth was excellent, stopping 26 of 27 shots. He was named IIHF Directorate Award winner as Best Goalie.
"It was a tight game," Henrik Sedin said. "It could have gone either way, I felt. It was lucky we got our first two goals pretty quickly after their first one. After we scored our third, it felt pretty calm on the bench."
"We had a really good start," said goalie Martin Gerber. "We were confident, but then out of the blue they tied it up and then we had some penalties. We got lost for a while and had a hard time getting back on track."
"It's an unbelievable feeling. You can't put it into words," said Henrik Tallinder. "As soon as we got our legs and got that first goal, I thought we controlled the game pretty well."
"To win the last game of the season and World Championship gold is amazing," said Joel Lundqvist. "Switzerland was awesome the whole tournament. We didn't start the way we wanted, but when we got the Sedins, they played great."
The Swiss came out with determination and an effective forecheck and had the puck in Sweden's end for most of the first five minutes, until they scored. It was the ninth time in ten games that they got the early lead.
Indeed, Switzerland had trailed for only 14:25 of play (5:39 vs Canada, 8:46 vs Slovenia) the entire tournament.
Roman Josi got things started at 4:45 when he eluded a lax check from Loui Eriksson at the blue line and cut in on goal, backhanding the puck along the ice past Enroth for the early 1-0 lead.
Sweden tied the game at 8:42 on the team's first shot on goal. Erik Gustafsson found a rebound in front of a crowded crease and snapped a shot past Martin Gerber, who had lost sight of the puck. The game was on.
"I wasn't sure where to go exactly," said Gustafsson, "but the goal felt a little bit like a turning point. They caught us on our heels in the first ten minutes, but after we scored we were in the driver's seat."
The Swedes then went ahead at 11:38 on the power play, the most potent part of their game. Henrik Sedin batted the puck out of midair in the crease to give the home side a 2-1 lead.
The second period started out strategically as the Swedes went into their tight-checking system while the Swiss refused to be baited into gambling to create scoring chances.
But a power play for Switzerland midway through the period, its first of the game, resulted in renewed energy. Enroth made a great save off a one-timer in the slot by Ryan Gardner, but the Swiss kept pressing for the tying goal to no avail.
The Swiss had another excellent opportunity to tie the game early in the third courtesy of a Johan Fransson penalty, but their shooting was off and Enroth unflappable under pressure.
Soon enough, the Swedes broke the game open. Simon Hjalmarsson scored off a giveaway by Julien Vauclair at his blue line. Gabriel Landeskog took the puck to the net and Hjalmarsson jammed it in before Mathias Seger could check him.
Eriksson put the game away when a point shot went in off his skate. Video review decided there was no distinct kicking motion, so the goal stood.
Coach Sean Simpson pulled Gerber with three and a half minutes remaining, and a Sweden penalty gave the Swiss a two-man advantage. Henrik Sedin, however, scored into the empty net to seal the victory.
"To be honest," said Landeskog, "I don't think I even know right now what we've accomplished. We're standing here talking about it, but we don't know what we're going through right now. Maybe in a few years down the road, or after our careers, we'll be able to sit back and think about this. I didn't think I'd be standing here at 20 years old with this gold medal around my neck."

Or More Mailing Our Brochures From Home
No Expensive Ads!
No Selling! Free Postage!
Here's your chance to earn some extra money working at home by becoming an active participant of our successful mailing program. Let face it, all of us are in need of a greater cash flow. Would you like to earn GOOD MONEY to catch up on all of your bills? Does the idea of mailing brochures from the comfort and convenience of your home appeal to you? Would you like to double or triple your income in a matter of weeks? If you're answering yes to any of these questions, then we have the right opportunity for you. All you have to do is give us a few minutes of your time. Once you have gone through our website, you will understand how your money worries can be over for good! Get comfortable, relax and read our website because it will show you how easy it is to make real money processing our mail from home.
Mailing Our Brochures From Home!
You will be paid $4 for every brochure you process and mail. If you send 75 brochures, you will receive $300. If you send 200 brochures, you will be paid $800, and so on. As a mailer, your work will consist of inserting brochures in envelopes, securing and sending them out as often as you can for an immediate payment, as per our simple instructions. You will not be required to purchase anything or go through the hassle of picking materials up at offices. All the materials will be fully supplied and mailed directly to your home on a daily basis. We will show you exactly what to do with these materials and how to do it according to our simple and easy instructions. Again, you can choose your own hours, work part time, full time, quit, and even start again. You are not obligated to us. We want this to be a good experience for you and your family!
Work From Home! Make Your Own Hours!
Part time or full time, at your own pace and convenience. Just a few hours of your time could earn you a substantial amount of money. One of the greatest benefits in this program is that it gives you flexible hours and allows you to work right from your own home anywhere in the world, in your pajamas, even while watching TV! No more getting up early in the morning and no more driving to get to work on a rainy day! Everything you'll need to start will be mailed directly to your home, which saves you the hassle of picking them up at offices..
Why Does This Work?
Our company is currently seeking individuals from all over the United States and Canada to support our mailing efforts. We do not wish to hire regular employees to handle the task of mailing brochures for it puts a great strain on the company's budget. Not only do employees require a salary, but also in addition, the company has to consider benefits, insurance, vacation, office space and a host of other added expenses that are far too costly for us. Therefore, we are eager to establish rapport with professional and Independent Workers. Many mail order companies want to expand their business without hiring more people who demand all types of benefits and insurance. Some of these corporations make from $50,000 to $150,000 per year. If they hire "in house" mail handlers, they too request such benefits, insurance, vacation, office space, and raise taxes for the company. The bottom line difference between working for someone in an office and at home is cost. Companies can reduce cost on: office space, office equipment and machines, and not having to hire full time employees when they won't need them year round. This can make it less expensive for some companies to farm-out certain tasks or jobs. This is why companies can afford to pay so much more to people working from home. It benefits both ways!!
As An Independent Mail Processor:
How Does This Work?
When you follow our program, you will receive $4 for each brochure you secure and process according to our simple instructions and you will receive payment before you mail them. Therefore, your payments are guaranteed! You will not have to spend any time addressing envelopes or pay any postage costs to mail out our circulars- ALL envelopes will arrive pre-addressed and with postage already in place. You will be an Independent Worker from home, not an employee, so nothing is deducted or withheld from your income. You can take on whatever amount of business that fits your schedule and you can quit whenever you want. There are no obligations!
You will be supplied with our professionally written brochures and complete instructions that are simple and easy to follow. When following these instructions, you will never have to purchase any postage stamps or envelopes ever for as long as you stay in the program!
You will be working directly with us!
Another Important Point!
You will not be given a list of companies that might need home mailers. You will be working directly with us... These brochures will be going out to people who have asked for them. The brochures contain no objectionable or pornographic material. We ask for you to beware of other companies that offer similar work. Look no further, this is truly a genuine opportunity!

In 1984 the U.S. Congress passed and President Reagan signed a revision and extension of the Library Services and Construction Act. It included, for the first time, a title to provide assistance to eligible Indian tribes to develop and improve public library services to Indians living on, or near, reservations. The first grants under this new LSCA Title IV, administered by the U.S. Department of Education's Library Programs Staff, were awarded in 1985.
Aware that this new program would generate a need for advice and assistance, the Department issued a request for a proposal to provide guidance and direction to Native American tribes to improve, develop and expand public library and information services to Native Americans. A contract to provide this assistance was awarded to the University of Oklahoma's School of Library and Information Studies. A sixteen month program entitled TRAILS was conducted.
This manual was developed as part of the original contractual activities. It is designed to serve as a guide for tribal and Alaskan native librarians. Books and materials listed in the manual should be consulted for additional information.
It should be noted that throughout the manual, "Tribe" has been used as a generic word to include not only Tribes, but also Eskimos, Aleuts, and other Alaskan Natives, Pueblos, Missions, Nations, Bands, Rancherias and any other name by which Native American groups are known.

Prum deserved it
The Hook could have picked no more deserving writer to honor for its fiction contest [March 13, 2003] this year than Deborah Prum (http://www.readthehook.com/93163/cover-story-fiction-contest-winner).
Not only is "Triage" a superlative story, but Deb is one of the most gracious and giving artists around. I have been privileged to be a part of a writer's group she has spearheaded for a few years now. Her generosity of spirit and unflagging devotion to her craft never fail to inspire and motivate the rest of us.
The Charlottesville community is lucky to have her.

News flash: Scarlett Johansson is engaged to her journalist beau.
The Oscar-nominated actress is planning to tie the knot with Romain Dauriac, People reported Wednesday, noting that the proposal occurred about a month ago, he offered up a vintage Art Deco ring and they are both "very happy."
Back in July, right around the time her rep said that she was "not engaged or close to being engaged," a source close to Johansson insisted that a diamond and ruby ring she was wearing was "simply a piece of jewelry."
Meanwhile, Dauriac was on the red carpet with his Versace-clad, ring-flashing fiance at the Venice Film Festival Tuesday, where they attended the premiere of Johansson's latest movie, "Under the Skin."
PHOTOS: Scarlett Johansson's gallery of exes
The betrothed couple went public in November 2012, not long after Johansson ended a roughly year-long relationship with Nate Naylor.
She and Ryan Reynolds divorced in July 2011 after almost three years of marriage. He tied the knot with Blake Lively last September.
Johansson also let go of her one-bedroom bachelorette pad in Hollywood in July for $470,000 after owning it for nearly a decade, perhaps an indicator that she was going to be in need of more space on a more permanent basis.
It's all making sense now...
But which came first, the ring or the real estate transaction?
WATCH: Scarlett strips down in Under the Skin trailer
Johansson told Elle UK in December that she "never" thought about marriage.
"It's really not important to me," she said. "The only time I ever think about it is when people ask me, 'Would I get married again?'
"I'm not having kids anytime soon," she added. "I'm in a nice relationship, I'm working a lot and, like I said, it's not important to me."
Well, it's important to someone. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Salerno class of 1987
In 1962, the Sisters of Jesus and Mary decided to set up a special class in their national school, Scoil Íde, in Árd na Mara. This class was known as 'secondary tops' and was designed to move the girls into secondary level. On September 1, 1965, the nuns opened a new secondary school in a house named 'Salerno' on Revagh Road, Rockbarton. They had 65 pupils. The school grew in popularity, the population increased, and there was no room for expansion, so the nuns found a new site on Threadneedle Road and moved into a brand new building there in 1981.

It seems, rather than the most recent DNC talking points about Republicans waging a war on women, that instead the Obama regime has chosen to wage an all out war on mama grizzlies. And that is not cool.
Liberals, given the opportunity, tend to be the gift that keeps on giving. Hilary Rosen, an advisor to the always lovely DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, proved yesterday that she is no exception when she claimed that Ann Romney--stay at home mother of five boys and sixteen grand babies--has "never worked a day in her life". This ignited a firestorm and, as Michelle Malkin pointed out on Twitter, Rosen managed to do something the GOP couldn't do: unite the right behind Romney.
Most, on both sides of the aisle, rushed to the nearest microphone and denounced what Rosen proclaimed. However, it seems that new "tone" the President called for only really applies to...well...Republicans. The tone coming from the left on this issue? On twitter, it's repulsive. Twitchy has done an excellent job of compiling just a few of those nuggets of toned down rhetoric from the left. Check it out. (language alert)
Now, I don't know about you, but this whole controversy makes my blood boil. And, while the left is calling this outrage "trumped up" and "phony", I can assure you with a great deal of certainty, it's not. And it's not going away. Salon's Joan Walsh, in an interview yesterday on MSNBC, claimed that only rich women stay at home with their children. Apparently Joan doesn't get out much.
I'm a middle class mother who, until two years ago, stayed at home with our children. When they were old enough to go to school, my husband and I chose for me to go to work part time so that I could supplement our income and pay for them to attend a private school. Every penny I make goes right to the school bill. I never see a dime of it. In doing our taxes this year, we discovered that we are, in fact, spending about triple what I make on gas expenses, and in taxes, therefore making my being away from the home front so much a complete waste of time in terms of earnings. THIS I can thank the Obama administration for.
When our children were born, I worked a lucrative, full time job. The decision for me to stay home with our children wasn't a hard one, it simply meant sacrifices would be made. Did we feel others were wrong for making a different choice? No, it's a very personal choice, and frankly, it's not one every woman can handle. For us, the decision was made that I would be the one to stay home and provide care for our children rather than sending them off to daycare to spend most of the day being cared for by someone else. I've worked a lot of jobs in my lifetime, including waitressing, and janitorial work...nothing was as difficult as being a stay at home mother. The job never ends, there is never a vacation or a day off. But, it was also the most rewarding job I've ever had...because it wasn't a "job" at all. You see, I don't see caring for my family as "work", just like I didn't see having children as a burden. They are a joy, and a gift to be treasured. I count myself very blessed, having been given the great honor of spending time at home raising our babies while my husband was hard at work, providing for our family.
Mitt and Ann Romney are very blessed. They have worked hard for all of their lives to have the income that has afforded them the nicer things in life. That's the beauty of America. Not only did Romney stay at home and raise five boys, she also survived breast cancer, and suffers with MS. I'm sure it wasn't easy, and because of her limitations, she very well may have had someone to do the cleaning for her. Who cares? Just because you or I don't have the wealth that the Romney's enjoy, does that make them any less deserving? Does Mrs. Romney having someone to do the cleaning suddenly make her an unfit stay-at-home mom? I know several people with five boys, and I can assure you that every waking moment was probably spent keeping up with the boys while barely having enough time to even take a shower! I, for one, admire her for it.
Look, the thing we're arguing about here really boils down to freedom. Why is it that liberals always feel the need to criticize those who CHOOSE family over career? If the right to choose is so important, then why isn't my right to choose included? It's my body, and my life, after all. Shouldn't I get to choose life, and my version of a "career"?
It's food for thought, my friends. They're inching away at our freedoms, and doing all they can to make what used to be an honorable "profession" in America, one just for the nut cases. Ladies, it is time to awaken that sleeping giant within you and begin to fight for those babies you've worked so hard to take care of. Because one day, your freedom to stay at home and raise them yourself may be stripped away...and you may find that you, and millions more just like you, could have simply taken your babies with you to the voting booth and cast a vote that would have made a significant difference.
Think about it.

Ann Romney's Right to Choose...Isn't All That Important
1 comment:
- Wingnut said...
Are you gonna start referring to Obama as Barack HUSSEIN Obama again, or did that not get work for you last time? If you're really so concerned with detail, you should call him Barack Hussein Obama II. I know that you always referred to G Dub as George Walker Bush and his father as George Herbert Walker Bush. These details are very important to you, especially when your party relies on fear mongering to maintain its base constituency. people don't care about Saddam Hussein that much anymore, so I guess you'll have to find new ways to get dumb people to hate our president. You could try the Kenyan Muslim thing again. That might work.

Android & Twitter - OAuth Authentication TutorialI've seen a lot of questions about connecting Android apps with Twitter using OAuth and thought I would write up a walkthrough of how it can be done. The example will be done using Twitter4J which is a great library for connecting Java apps with Twitter and provides a simple interface to connect to the public Twitter Web Services.
First thing you will need to do is to register your new app (even though you haven't made it yet!). Do this by heading to https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new (you will need an existing Twitter account sign up). You should complete the form with the relevant details for your app:
You should fill in your details for the application such as name, description, URL – but the only key things to remember to do here are as follows:
1) Make sure you select "Browser" as your application type – even though we are creating an app, we will authenticate using the browser and a callback URL.
2) Tick read & write permissions
Once you have registered you will be provided with a "Consumer Key" and a "Consumer Secret" – make note of these for later – we will need to include these in the app.
Now let's get started with the app! I will assume for this tutorial that you are familiar with the basics of Android apps so won't go into details about how to setup the UI and what an Activity or Application is.
The first thing we will do is create an Activity that will prompt the user to login to Twitter and authorize the app to connect to Twitter to make updates. Let's start with the onCreate method:
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { System.setProperty("http.keepAlive", "false"); super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main_oauth); //check for saved log in details.. checkForSavedLogin(); //set consumer and provider on teh Application service getConsumerProvider(); //Define login button and listener buttonLogin = (Button)findViewById(R.id.ButtonLogin); buttonLogin.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { askOAuth(); } }); }
The first line we set the http keepAlive property – this is important so the app manages the connection correctly without reseting. The next important thing is our call to the checkForSavedLogin() method – this is a method that checks whether the user has previously authorised the app to access twitter, in which case we can just proceed as usual to the default twitter timeline activity (we will have a look at that method next). Otherwise we just initialise the Consumer/Provider and store them in our Application class so they are available to all Activities throughout the application. Then finally we inflate the button on the page and set a listener to call the askOAuth() method on click.
Now let's jump in to the checkForSavedLogin() to see whats going on there:
private void checkForSavedLogin() { // Get Access Token and persist it AccessToken a = getAccessToken(); if (a==null) return; //if there are no credentials stored then return to usual activity // initialize Twitter4J twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance(); twitter.setOAuthConsumer(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET); twitter.setOAuthAccessToken(a); ((TwitterApplication)getApplication()).setTwitter(twitter); startFirstActivity(); finish(); }
This method calls a method getAccessToken() – all this does is check in the user SharedPreferences to see whether we have stored the users AccessToken previously – if there is no token found it just returns, so the user is left on the authentication activity waiting input.
However, if a token is found, then we initialise Twitter4J Twitter object and store that in our Application class (again, so we can use it throughout the application).
Finally we call startFirstActivity(), which simply calls the default Twitter timeline activity we have and finishes the authentication activity as it is not needed.
So that is all good, if the user has previously authenticated then no probs – however, if no saved token is found the user still needs to authenticate so we need to handle the user action (remember we are calling the askOAuth() method from within our button listener).
Let's have a look at that method – this is where the authentication is all done:
private void askOAuth() { try { consumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET); provider = new DefaultOAuthProvider("http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token", "http://twitter.com/oauth/access_token", "http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize"); String authUrl = provider.retrieveRequestToken(consumer, CALLBACK_URL); Toast.makeText(this, "Please authorize this app!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); setConsumerProvider(); startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(authUrl))); } catch (Exception e) { Toast.makeText(this, e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } }
First thing we do here is to initialise the Consumer and Provider objects – we are using the Commons OAuth Consumer/Provider (so you need to make sure you copy the following JARs in to your /assets/ directory and then add them to your build path: "signpost-commonshttp" and "signpost-core").
You will see that the consumer is initialised using to static Strings CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET – these need to be set to be the key and secret Twitter provided when you registered the app – you should make sure you keep these secret and not reveal them to people.
The provider is then just initialised using the relevant URLs that Twitter provides to authenticate againse.
Next, we call the retrieveRequestToken() method on the provider object, this takes two arguments: the consumer, and the CALLBACK_URL (another static string) we will come back to what this is later.
We then call startActivity with a new Intent using the authenticate URL – this is what will forward the user to the Twitter authentication service for them to securely login and authorize the app to make updates for them.
So now, we have a simple authentication activity, that if the user has never logged on before will forward them on to the Twitter OAuth service – next we need to handle the response from Twitter and if a successful response received, then store the Access Token for future use. This is all done in the onResume() method:
@Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); if (this.getIntent()!=null && this.getIntent().getData()!=null){ Uri uri = this.getIntent().getData(); if (uri != null && uri.toString().startsWith(CALLBACK_URL)) { String verifier = uri.getQueryParameter(oauth.signpost.OAuth.OAUTH_VERIFIER); try { // this will populate token and token_secret in consumer provider.retrieveAccessToken(consumer, verifier); // Get Access Token and persist it AccessToken a = new AccessToken(consumer.getToken(), consumer.getTokenSecret()); storeAccessToken(a); // initialize Twitter4J twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance(); twitter.setOAuthConsumer(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET); twitter.setOAuthAccessToken(a); ((TwitterApplication)getApplication()).setTwitter(twitter); //Log.e("Login", "Twitter Initialised"); startFirstActivity(); } catch (Exception e) { //Log.e(APP, e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); Toast.makeText(this, e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } } }
First thing, the method checks that the intent that has called the onResume is the expected intent, and then pulls out the verifying string from the callback URI – it then uses this string to retrieve the access token. Once we have called the retrieveAccessToken() method, we can initialise an AccessToken and store it. Next we initialise the Twitter4J object with the CONSUMER_KEY and SECRET again and then set the Access Token – once this has all been setup we just start the first activity as normal.
Once the user has authenticated they will be forwarded to the their friends timeline!
Now, the only thing remaining, is that we need to tell the app that once Twitter has finished authenticating that it needs to return to our Authentication Activity to call the above onResume method, or else it won't be able to continue. To do this, Twitter will attempt to use the CALLBACK_URL we saw earlier. If you remember, when we requested the token from Twitter we passed in the CALLBACK_URL. I have previously defined this as follows:
private String CALLBACK_URL = "callback://tweeter";
The name of the callback is up to you (I have named it "tweeter"), what is important is that this matches the callback you define in your Manifest XML. For the welcome activity (our Authentication activity) it needs to be defined as follows:
As you can see, we have defined an intent-filter with a scheme called "callback" and we provide the host name as "tweeter" – matching that used to call the Twitter service.
And thats it! The user has been authenticated and returned to our application correctly, so it can now continue to read timelines, post tweets, retweet, etc.
The complete source code of the application is available here (NOW ON GITHUB!), please note that I have removed my own CONSUMER_KEY/SECRET details, so to make this work you will need to register your app and populate with your own details to see it work in your emulator/device.

The end to the Chevron World Challenge — or Sherwood Country Club Outing, if you will — was oddly appropriate. These have been unprecedented times for Tiger Woods, a year of firsts and worsts and Sunday fit the model.
Pulling the plug on a life-altering season away from golf and a career-altering period in it, the once impenetrable Woods spent a four-shot lead and lost a playoff to U.S. Open winner Graeme McDowell.
So, for everyone who still has pictures of 2008 and Torrey Pines as their screen saver, let's sum things up: Tiger Woods did not win a golf event in 2010, did not win a major championship, did not bank a four-shot lead on Sunday and did not survive in a playoff.
He did, however, open a Twitter account recently, so he has that going for him, which is nice.
You can't live in the past. Woods can't and the golf world shouldn't. Those who suggest "El Tigre" will never be the same are correct, he will not be the same and his demeanor after Sunday's overtime defeat was corroborative.
For the pre-2010 Tiger, winning golf tournaments was everything. Second place was for suckers. His post-game comments on Sunday would have been condescending and unyielding. He would have been gnawing on the microphone, boiling beneath his breath.
The new Tiger brings a slightly different perspective. Winning is the ultimate goal, but close counts in golf and in horse shoes. "It was a great week, even though I didn't win," Woods said after McDowell landed his birdie bomb on the 73rd hole. "I'm proud of the way I played today, even though I lost."
Hold that thought. "Proud ... even though I lost." You can almost hear Jerry Seinfeld incredulously repeating the phrase, the way he reiterated "Sex ... to save the friendship" in "The Mango" episode. No question about it, this is not your father's Tiger, maybe not his father's Tiger.
But there is a simple template to follow here, fashioned over the years by the likes of Kobe Bryant, now being utilized by the likes of Michael Vick. The truth is superstar athletes can overcome just about any indiscretion or impropriety by continuing to be superstar athletes.
Ring up a ton of points, score a bunch of touchdowns, fill it up for Sports Center, all is forgiven and forgotten. Is Woods a changed man? How could he not be? Publicly, he went from chic to Shrek. His corporate-clean, fairy tale existence has been shattered. All the money and glamor aside, these are real people behind these headlines, affected by real situations. They bleed as any of us bleed.
Will Woods be the same going forward? No. He turns 35 at the end of the month. He is taking another run at a goatee, social networking, accepting consolation ... that's different.
Perhaps equally important, the world around Woods might never be the same. The bullet-proof aura he once carried in his bag has thinned with the hair on his head. The opposition will be more bold in the future, the fear factor less prominent. How many wins has that accounted for, hard to say.
Those who once cowered in his presence and imploded along his path will stand ground more confidently. McDowell did on Sunday, dropping a long birdie putt to force the playoff and another to clinch it. The outcome was in sharp contrast to that defining moment at Torrey Pines, when Woods shot the same final-round 73 and beat Rocco Mediate in the playoff.
It will be more difficult for Woods to dominate golf the way he has in the past, a manner that produced 71 PGA Tour wins and 14 major titles over 14 years. He will begin next season still five majors shy of breaking Jack Nicklaus' magical mark of 18 professional majors. The feat no longer seems like a layup.
After all, things will never be the same. But those who suggest Woods will never be as good could be in for a rude awakening.
The Chevron was a limited field, a somewhat superficial stroll. And Woods' inability to finish gives doubt plenty to chew on. But there was no denying the demonstration. Woods' swing was simple, compact and unwavering. His Scott Norwood Special — wide right — was gone. When he missed, he missed left. For the first time in a long while, he knew where it was going.
There were three rounds in the 60s, birdies or better on 14 of 20 par-5s, putts that rolled true. The confusion was gone, the confidence was back, the template was in play. Woods took the telecast to overtime and caused remotes everywhere to stray from their NFL hubs.
Winning is the single element that will put the events of the past 13 months completely behind Woods. He came close on Sunday. There was no fist-pump, no trophy, but the progress wasn't lip service. It was obvious.
This past year was a fork in the road for Tiger Woods, a sobering, self-examining period. Things will never be as they were. But from a golf standpoint, look out in 2011 — they might just be better than ever.

For most families, Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without pumpkin pie. And don't get me wrong, I love it like most, but I'm always searching for a little chocolate too. These triple chocolate party balls are the perfect thing to pair with all of that pie.
From Pinch of Yum, they're rich and delicious, but small enough that you can have a couple along with the other desserts. They're also great to set out for buffets, and you can freeze some for the December holidays too. Filled with a mix of shortbread cookies, more chocolate, and a kick of liqueur, they're simply irresistible.
Triple Chocolate Party Balls
3 cups crushed shortbread cookies
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
3/4 cup chocolate chips or chocolate bar, finely chopped
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup liqueur of choice (I used rum)
Chocolate candy coating (or almond bark) for dipping
Mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients. Mix well until a "dough" forms.
Freeze dough for 30 minutes, or until hard enough to form balls. Break off small pieces and roll between your palms until you have lots of small truffle-sized balls. Re-freeze until ready to dip.
Melt chocolate candy coating in a double boiler. Dip each frozen ball in the chocolate. Set to dry on wax paper.

Sept. 9, 2005
Las Vegas, Nev. - 13th-ranked UC Santa Barbara's offense broke out, and broke out big, as the Gauchos notched their first win of the season with a 6-1 dismantling of 15th-ranked Northwestern at the UNLV adidas Classic. The young UCSB squad is beginning to find its rhythm, but it was a pair of experienced attackers who set the tone for the rest of the season. Senior forward Jonathan Davis erupted to two goals in the in the first 16 minutes of the match, and sophomore Hermann Trophy candidate Tyler Rosenlund tallied two of his own in the second half.
The Gauchos broke their seal on the season in the 212th minute of the year. Freshman midfielder Eric Avila sent the ball in on a throw-in along the right sideline, 35 yards out from the touchline. Avila's throw was cleared out from the Wildcats' penalty, but sent right back to his feet. Avila beat his man into the right side of Northwestern's goal box just off the touchline. Just as Avila was entering the box, senior forward Jonathan Davis made a run towards the back post. Avila chipped a cross over NU goalkeeper Misha Rosenthal towards Davis. Davis elevated high over his man and slammed the ball back across the frame and into the side netting, past a stunned Rosenthal at 11:02 in the match.
Davis did not wait long to score his second goal of the season, just over eight minutes later on a very similar play. The Gauchos once again had a throw-in from the same spot on the field as Avila's, except this time it was senior defender Pat Scott on the throw. Throwing into 35 mph winds, Scott heaved the ball just outside the corner of the Wildcat goalbox. Davis trapped the ball with his chest, shoving it across his body and onto his left foot. He then quickly snapped a right-footed shot just inside the near post to put Santa Barbara up 2-0 in the 19th minute of the match.
Northwestern narrowed the gap to one in the 26th minute, thanks in large part the wind that reaked havoc on both teams all day. The Wildcats earned a corner kick on the Gauchos' left side. Junior goalkeeper Kyle Reynish fought his way through the crowd and managed to get a punch on the bowing and dipping cross. Wildcat forward Brad North was waiting just beyond the back post and lunged with his right foot to get on the back end of the loose ball. North's shot went across the frame and past the recovering Reynish into the side netting.
UCSB was delivered a blow in the match's 30th minute when Davis went down with an injury following contact. Sophomore midfielder Brennan Tennelle replaced him .
The Gauchos ended the first half of play outshooting the Wildcats 8-1 with the wind in their faces, Reynish finished with no saves compared to Rosenthal's two.
Santa Barbara started the second half much like the first, bombarding the Wildcat defense until it finally broke through in the 55th minute. Avila, along with junior midfielder Eric Frimpong, had a nice exchange of passes through the middle of the NU defense. Avila layed the ball off to senior forward Ivan Becerra as he was entering the top of the penalty box. Becerra collected the pass and promptly slipped a square pass behind the Wildcats back line to an onrushing Tyler Rosenlund from the left flank. Rosenlund corralled the pass on a full sprint and moved the ball to his right foot before side-footing a shot low and into the far-post past Rosenthal.
No more than ten minutes later Rosenlund matched his goal total from last season, with his second tally of the game. Senior midfielder Bryan Byrne carried the ball down the right side of the field before pulling it back and reversing his direction. Byrne then sent a cross to the left side and onto the foot of Frimpong. With a couple of touches to his right to draw the defense towards him, Frimpong touched a pass back to the middle of the field to the on-rushing Rosenlund. Rosenlund one-timed the pass and rifled a shot from 20 yards out into the top right corner to give Santa Barbara a 4-1 advantage at 60:57 in the match.
Senior midfielder Nate Boyden, who started in the back for UCSB today, made it 5-1 with an alert play on free kick from just outside the Northwestern penalty box. With Boyden, Avila, and Rosenlund hovering of the ball the referee blew the whistle to commence play. Boyden looked up and caught Rosenthal napping and from a stand still blasted a shot over the wall and past the bewildered Rosenthal in the 72nd minute.
The Gauchos finished their offensive onslaught in the 82nd minute off the foot of freshman midfielder Chris Pontius, once again coming off of a throw-in. About 25 yards up from the touch line along the right side sophomore defender Myles Davis sailed a throw into the Wildcat penalty box where it found the head of Frimpong. The 5-5 Frimpong flicked the throw back over his head and onto the back post where Pontius was waiting. Having just entered the match less than a minute before, Pontius poked the ball under NU back-up keeper Justin Pines, who subbed in at the same time as Pontius, for his first career collegiate goal.
UCSB wound up outshooting Northwestern 18-6 in the match, including an 11-3 advantage in shots on goal. Reynish finished the match with two saves, both in the second half. Davis and Rosenlund lead the way with two goals apiece, with Rosenlund posting a team match-high five shots. Frimpong finished with two assists in the match. Becerra finished with one assist, but it was his superb play posting-up up top that help opened the Gauchos offense. UCSB's six goals were the most scored in a match since they put up the same number against New Mexico in 2003.
The 15th-ranked Gauchos close-out their UNLV adidas Classic stay with a match against 23rd-ranked Portland on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

Reporting Adult Welfare Issues
When you encounter an adult who seems to be in trouble there are a wide variety of resources available, depending on the particular problem. A mentally ill, chemically dependent, or otherwise vulnerable adult can be given assistance.
Approaching an adult in crisis
- If you feel comfortable approaching the person, talk with him or her, and offer assistance. A person in crisis might welcome your help. If the person has family (e.g. adult children, siblings, or parents) you can contact them. A neighbor or church nearby may provide some helpful information or assistance.
- If you are afraid or unwilling to approach this person, call 911. A police officer can respond and evaluate the situation. The person in trouble can be taken to Crisis Intervention at Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) or Hennepin County Detox (if the person is intoxicated), at the discretion of the police officer only. Police officers are not able to do this except in cases of extreme immediate emergency.
Resources Available
If you as a neighbor, friend, or other interested person are unable to contact a family member and the situation doesn't seem to justify police crisis intervention, there are still many possible sources of help.
- Hennepin County Adult Protection
- Veterans' Affairs Health Care System
- United Way 211, 651-291-0211, can provide information about a wide variety of advocacy organizations that might be able to assist. (For example, the ARC) works with developmentally disabled people.)
- Minneapolis Health Department
Too many animals?
Occasionally, there may also be large numbers of dogs, cats, or other pets that are creating a health hazard. Call Minneapolis Animal Control at 612-673-6222. Call: 911 for Emergencies (Animal Attacks) or Call 311 (non-emergency issues)

DNA Test Confirms ID of Wolf That Bit Minnesota Teen
ST. PUL, Minn. (AP) - DNA tests confirm a wolf trapped and killed at a northern Minnesota campground is the same wolf that attacked a 16-year-old there.
The Department of Natural Resources says the wolf's DNA matched samples obtained from a comforter used when he was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The DNR says final necropsy results on the wolf show a number of abnormal conditions that may have contributed to it biting a human. It says the wolf, estimated to be 1 1/2 years old, likely experienced a traumatic injury as a pup that developed into a severe facial deformity, dental abnormalities and brain damage.
DNR wolf specialist Dan Stark says it's surprising the wolf lived so long.
It was Minnesota's first documented wild wolf attack on a human resulting in a significant injury.

DreamWorks Animation and China's largest media companies plan to invest more than $3 billion to build a sprawling entertainment, dining and shopping district in Shanghai.
A new joint venture called Oriental DreamWorks announced Monday that the company would open Dream Center — an entertainment hub with theaters, cinemas, restaurants and tourist attractions — in 2016.
The announcement marks the latest effort by Glendale-based DreamWorks and other Hollywood studios to bolster business in the world's most populous country, which this year has surpassed Japan as the world's second-largest market for movies outside the U.S.
It also fits the studio's strategy of trying to diversify its business by expanding into television shows, live entertainment and theme parks. DreamWorks said last month it had agreed to license its characters, storytelling and technology for a theme park at a long-stalled and vacant mall in the Meadowlands, N.J.

|chemistry I Modeling Workshop at ASU
|Arizona State University
|Opportunity Type:
|Modeling Workshop
|Teacher Status:
post-secondary chemistry faculty
|Teacher Level:
|High School
|This workshop is for high school and post-secondary chemistry teachers worldwide.
Peer leader: Mitch Sweet
Location: Tempe Preparatory High School in Tempe
8am to 3:30pm MTWTh, 8am to noon F
(Carpooling to the workshop will be arranged for long-distance teachers who stay in housing that we arrange on the Tempe campus.)
Course title is CHM 594: Modeling Instruction in Chemistry I
For questions, please e-mail Jane Jackson: email@example.com
The Modeling Workshop in 1st semester chemistry is an intensive 3-week course with these goals:
1. educate teachers in use of a model-centered, guided inquiry, interactive engagement method of teaching, and improve content understanding at the same time,
2. help participants integrate computer courseware effectively into the science curriculum,
3. help teachers make better use of national resources for science education,
4. establish electronic network support and a learning community among participants,
5. strengthen local institutional support for participants as school leaders in disseminating standards-based reform in science education.
The main objective of the 1st summer Modeling Workshop is to acquaint teachers with all aspects of the modeling method of instruction and develop some skill in implementing it. To that end, teachers are provided with a fairly complete set of written curriculum materials to support instruction organized into coherent modeling cycles. (The modeling cycle is described at http://modeling.asu.edu/modeling-HS.html.) The physical materials and experiments in the curriculum are simple and quite standard, already available in any reasonably equipped classroom.
To develop familiarity with the materials necessary to fully implement them in the classroom, we find that teachers must work through the activities, discussions and worksheets, alternating between student and teacher modes. Each unit in the course manual includes an extensive Teacher Notes section. Throughout the course, teachers are asked to reflect on their practice and how they might apply the techniques they have learned in the course to their own classes.
Modeling Instruction is aligned with the eight science practices outlined in the NRC Framework for K-12 Science Education, the research that is the basis of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
Chemistry Workshop emphases
The Modeling approach to chemistry is based on the particulate nature of matter. The AMTA webpage on chemistry asks three fundamental questions about matter:
1. How do we view matter?
2. How does it behave?
3.What is the role of energy in the changes we observe?
First we will introduce the Modeling approach to high school science instruction. This methodology makes student thinking visible through white board presentations, Socratic questioning and peer review. The second goal is to practice and enhance the current chemistry modeling curriculum. Emphasis will be placed on the first nine units: the simple particle through relating how much to how many particles (i.e. stoichiometry).
An overview is at the AMTA webpage on curriculum storylines.

Exercise:Sparse Autoencoder
From Ufldl

Sparse autoencoder implementation
In this problem set, you will implement the sparse autoencoder algorithm, and show how it discovers that edges are a good representation for natural images. (Images provided by Bruno Olshausen.) The sparse autoencoder algorithm is described in the lecture notes found on the course website.
In the file sparseae_exercise.zip, we have provided some starter code in Matlab. You should write your code at the places indicated in the files ("YOUR CODE HERE"). You have to complete the following files: sampleIMAGES.m, sparseAutoencoderCost.m, computeNumericalGradient.m. The starter code in train.m shows how these functions are used.
Specifically, in this exercise you will implement a sparse autoencoder, trained with 8×8 image patches using the L-BFGS optimization algorithm.
A note on the software: The provided .zip file includes a subdirectory minFunc with 3rd party software implementing L-BFGS, that is licensed under a Creative Commons, Attribute, Non-Commercial license. If you need to use this software for commercial purposes, you can download and use a different function (fminlbfgs) that can serve the same purpose, but runs ~3x slower for this exercise (and thus is less recommended). You can read more about this in the Fminlbfgs_Details page.
Step 1: Generate training set
The first step is to generate a training set. To get a single training example x, randomly pick one of the 10 images, then randomly sample an 8×8 image patch from the selected image, and convert the image patch (either in row-major order or column-major order; it doesn't matter) into a 64-dimensional vector to get a training example
Complete the code in sampleIMAGES.m. Your code should sample 10000 image patches and concatenate them into a 64×10000 matrix.
To make sure your implementation is working, run the code in "Step 1" of train.m. This should result in a plot of a random sample of 200 patches from the dataset.
Implementational tip: When we run our implemented sampleImages(), it takes under 5 seconds. If your implementation takes over 30 seconds, it may be because you are accidentally making a copy of an entire 512×512 image each time you're picking a random image. By copying a 512×512 image 10000 times, this can make your implementation much less efficient. While this doesn't slow down your code significantly for this exercise (because we have only 10000 examples), when we scale to much larger problems later this quarter with 106 or more examples, this will significantly slow down your code. Please implement sampleIMAGES so that you aren't making a copy of an entire 512×512 image each time you need to cut out an 8x8 image patch.
Step 2: Sparse autoencoder objective
Implement code to compute the sparse autoencoder cost function Jsparse(W,b) (Section 3 of the lecture notes) and the corresponding derivatives of Jsparse with respect to the different parameters. Use the sigmoid function for the activation function, . In particular, complete the code in sparseAutoencoderCost.m.
The sparse autoencoder is parameterized by matrices , vectors , . However, for subsequent notational convenience, we will "unroll" all of these parameters into a very long parameter vector θ with s1s2 + s2s3 + s2 + s3 elements. The code for converting between the (W(1),W(2),b(1),b(2)) and the θ parameterization is already provided in the starter code.
Implementational tip: The objective Jsparse(W,b) contains 3 terms, corresponding to the squared error term, the weight decay term, and the sparsity penalty. You're welcome to implement this however you want, but for ease of debugging, you might implement the cost function and derivative computation (backpropagation) only for the squared error term first (this corresponds to setting λ = β = 0), and implement the gradient checking method in the next section to first verify that this code is correct. Then only after you have verified that the objective and derivative calculations corresponding to the squared error term are working, add in code to compute the weight decay and sparsity penalty terms and their corresponding derivatives.
Step 3: Gradient checking
Following Section 2.3 of the lecture notes, implement code for gradient checking. Specifically, complete the code in computeNumericalGradient.m. Please use EPSILON = 10-4 as described in the lecture notes.
We've also provided code in checkNumericalGradient.m for you to test your code. This code defines a simple quadratic function given by , and evaluates it at the point x = (4,10)T. It allows you to verify that your numerically evaluated gradient is very close to the true (analytically computed) gradient.
After using checkNumericalGradient.m to make sure your implementation is correct, next use computeNumericalGradient.m to make sure that your sparseAutoencoderCost.m is computing derivatives correctly. For details, see Steps 3 in train.m. We strongly encourage you not to proceed to the next step until you've verified that your derivative computations are correct.
Implementational tip: If you are debugging your code, performing gradient checking on smaller models and smaller training sets (e.g., using only 10 training examples and 1-2 hidden units) may speed things up.
Step 4: Train the sparse autoencoder
Now that you have code that computes Jsparse and its derivatives, we're ready to minimize Jsparse with respect to its parameters, and thereby train our sparse autoencoder.
We will use the L-BFGS algorithm. This is provided to you in a function called minFunc (code provided by Mark Schmidt) included in the starter code. (For the purpose of this assignment, you only need to call minFunc with the default parameters. You do not need to know how L-BFGS works.) We have already provided code in train.m (Step 4) to call minFunc. The minFunc code assumes that the parameters to be optimized are a long parameter vector; so we will use the "θ" parameterization rather than the "(W(1),W(2),b(1),b(2))" parameterization when passing our parameters to it.
Train a sparse autoencoder with 64 input units, 25 hidden units, and 64 output units. In our starter code, we have provided a function for initializing the parameters. We initialize the biases to zero, and the weights to random numbers drawn uniformly from the interval , where nin is the fan-in (the number of inputs feeding into a node) and nout is the fan-in (the number of units that a node feeds into).
The values we provided for the various parameters (λ,β,ρ, etc.) should work, but feel free to play with different settings of the parameters as well.
Implementational tip: Once you have your backpropagation implementation correctly computing the derivatives (as verified using gradient checking in Step 3), when you are now using it with L-BFGS to optimize Jsparse(W,b), make sure you're not doing gradient-checking on every step. Backpropagation can be used to compute the derivatives of Jsparse(W,b) fairly efficiently, and if you were additionally computing the gradient numerically on every step, this would slow down your program significantly.
Step 5: Visualization
After training the autoencoder, use display_network.m to visualize the learned weights. (See train.m, Step 5.) Run "print -djpeg weights.jpg" to save the visualization to a file "weights.jpg" (which you will submit together with your code).
To successfully complete this assignment, you should demonstrate your sparse autoencoder algorithm learning a set of edge detectors. For example, this was the visualization we obtained:
Our implementation took around 5 minutes to run on a fast computer. In case you end up needing to try out multiple implementations or different parameter values, be sure to budget enough time for debugging and to run the experiments you'll need.
Also, by way of comparison, here are some visualizations from implementations that we do not consider successful (either a buggy implementation, or where the parameters were poorly tuned):

|An artistic reconstruction of the floating ammonite leaving behind the drag mark.
Illustration: James McKay
Trackways and tracemakers preserved together in the fossil record are rare. However, the co-occurrence of a drag mark, together with the dead animal that produced it, is exceptional. Here, we describe an 8.5 m long ammonite drag mark complete with the preserved ammonite shell (Subplanites rueppellianus) at its end. Previously recorded examples preserve ammonites with drag marks of < 1 m. The specimen was recovered from a quarry near Solnhofen, southern Germany. The drag mark consists of continuous parallel ridges and furrows produced by the ribs of the ammonite shell as it drifted just above the sediment surface, and does not reflect behaviour of the living animal.
|Fig 2. Various Plattenkalk localities of the Franconian and Swabian Alb.
|Fig 1. MCFO 0492, the entire drag mark created by the drifting shell of a dead ammonite (Subplanites rueppellianus), with close-up of several portions. A. The first portion of the drag mark clearly showing two prominent ridges. B. Drag mark showing two prominent ridges with additional faint ridges. C. Drag mark showing four prominent ridges and a gentle curve. D. Drag mark showing numerous prominent ridges, along with the ammonite.
Large scale measures 1 m. Small scales measure 10 cm.DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0175426
|Fig 3. The ammonite Subplanites rueppellianus, the producer of the drag mark (MCFO 0492). Note the touch down mark which changes the orientation (and number) of the ridges in the substrate, anteroventral to the ammonite. Scale measures 5 cm.
This exceptionally long fossil was produced by an ammonite shell post-mortem. The shell must have been partially buoyant, firstly because only a small portion of the shell contacts the substrate over the length of the mark, and secondly to be moved by a current that was gentle enough not to disturb the surrounding sediment. It is likely that the ammonite was losing buoyancy over the length of the drag mark, which resulted in eventual loss of all buoyancy and the ammonite falling on its side.
The drag mark of the studied specimen does not represent a mortichnion because it was not created by the animal when alive. Rather, this structure should more correctly be considered a tool mark. As such, behaviour must not be inferred from the drag mark of specimens such as MCFO 0492, and they have to be interpreted as non-biogenic structures produced by physical means. MCFO 0492 represents the hitherto longest fossil drag mark created by a dead animal, complete with the animal preserved at the end.
