1975: On Board Hydrogen Generator for a partial Hydrogen Injection Internal Combustion Engine
Research in 1975 examined hydrogen enhanced gasoline in lean combustion. John Houseman and D.J Cerini of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory produced a report for the Society of Automotive Engineers titled "On-Board Hydrogen Generator for a Partial Hydrogen Injection Internal Combustion Engine", and F.W. Hoehn and M.W. Dowy, also of the Jet Propulsion Lab, prepared a report for the 9th Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, titled "Feasibility Demonstration of a Road Vehicle Fueled with Hydrogen Enriched Gasoline.

1977: Emissions and Total Energy Consumption of a Multicylinder piston engine running on Gasoline and a Hydrogen-Gasoline Mixture
Conducted research using hydrogen as a supplemental fuel to gasoline on a 1969 production engine. Their research specifically demonstrated that the higher flame speed of hydrogen was responsible for being able to extend the efficient lean operating range of a gasoline engine. They successfully used a methanol steam reformer for in situ production of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Lean-mixture-ratio combustion in internal-combustion engines has the potential of producing low emissions and higher thermal efficiency for several reasons. First, excess oxygen in the charge further oxidizes unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. Second, excess oxygen lowers the peak combustion temperatures, which inhibits the formation of oxides of nitrogen. Third, the lower combustion temperatures increase the mixture specific heat ratio by decreasing the net dissociation losses. Fourth, as the specific heat ratio increases, the cycle thermal efficiency also increases, which gives the potential for better fuel economy.
2002: Hydrogen Addition For Improved Lean Burn Capability of Slow and Fast Burning Natural Gas Combustion Chambers
Research done in 2002 shows that the "addition of hydrogen to natural gas increases the burn rate and extends the lean burn-limit". Also concluded was that "hydrogen addition lowers HC emissions", and with properly "retarded ignition timing" also reduces NOx emissions.
Further research in 2002 achieved results showing "a reduction of NOx and CO2 emissions", by modeling an on-board hydrogen reformer and "varying the efficiency". The research was specifically a "numerical investigation" done to "foresee performances, exhaust emissions, and fuel consumption of a small, multi valve, spark ignition engine fueled by hydrogen enriched gasoline".
In 2003 Tsolakis at Alabama University of Birmingham showed that "partial replacement of the hydrocarbon fuel by hydrogen combined with EGR resulted in simultaneous reductions of smoke and nitrogen oxides emissions (NOx) without significant changes to engine efficiency". Similar results have been presented by a team of scientists from Zhejiang University, China, which found that "a little amount of hydrogen supplemented to the gasoline-air mixture can extend the flammability of the mixture… improving the economy and emissions of engines".
Test results in 2004 show "that the H2 rich reformate gas was an excellent NOx reductant, and can out perform raw Diesel fuel as a reductant in a wide range of operating conditions". This is referring to Diesel fuel being used in excess, as a reductant, to cool the combustion reaction, which indeed has a mitigating effect on NOx production.
In 2004 research was conducted concluding that an "SI engine system fueled by gasoline and hydrogen rich reformate gas has been demonstrated" to achieve a "dramatic reduction of pollution emissions". This was achieved by "extending EGR operation" in addition to consuming "gasoline and hydrogen rich reformate". Emissions results show that "HC-emissions as well as NOx-emissions could be reduced to near zero". Overall a 3.5% reduction in CO2 emissions was achieved during the "FTP test cycle" The research also concluded that the exhaust after treatment system can be simplified, "resulting in cost reduction for the catalysts".
2006: Application of Hydrogen Assisted Lean Operation to Natural Gas-Fueled Reciprocating Engines (HALO)
Two key challenges facing Natural Gas Engines used for cogeneration purposes are spark plug life and high NOx emissions. Using Hydrogen Assisted Lean Operation (HALO), these two keys issues are simultaneously addressed. HALO operation, as demonstrated in this project, allows stable engine operation to be achieved at ultra-lean (relative air/fuel ratios of 2) conditions, which virtually eliminates NOx production. NOx values of 10 ppm (0.07 g/bhp-hr NO) for 8% (LHV H2/LHV CH4) supplementation at an exhaust O2 level of 10% were demonstrated, which is a 98% NOx emissions reduction compared to the leanest unsupplemented operating condition. Spark ignition energy reduction (which will increase ignition system life) was carried out at an oxygen level of 9 %, leading to a NOx emission level of 28 ppm (0.13 g/bhp-hr NO). The spark ignition energy reduction testing found that spark energy could be reduced 22% (from 151 mJ supplied to the coil) with 13% (LHV H2/LHV CH4) hydrogen supplementation, and even further reduced 27% with 17% hydrogen supplementation, with no reportable effect on NOx emissions for these conditions and with stable engine torque output. Another important result is that the combustion duration was shown to be only a function of hydrogen supplementation, not a function of ignition energy (until the ignitability limit was reached). The next logical step leading from these promising results is to see how much the spark energy reduction translates into increase in spark plug life, which may be accomplished by durability testing.

2008: Effect of H2/O2 addition in increasing the thermal efficiency of a diesel engine
Sustainable Energy Centre, School of Advanced Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering, University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes, SA 5095, Australia.
Using Hydrogen as an additive to enhance the conventional diesel engine performance has been investigated by several researchers and the outcomes are very promising. However, the problems associated with the production and storage of pure hydrogen currently limits the application of pure hydrogen in diesel engine operation. On-board hydrogen-oxygen generator, which produces H2/O2 mixture through electrolysis of water, has significant potential to overcome these problems. This paper focuses on evaluating the performance enhancement of a conventional diesel engine through the addition of H2/O2 mixture, generated through water electrolysis. The experimental works were carried out under constant speed with varying load and amount of H2/O2 mixture. Results show that by using 4.84%, 6.06%, and 6.12% total diesel equivalent of H2/O2 mixture the brake thermal efficiency increased from 32.0% to 34.6%, 32.9% to 35.8% and 34.7% to 36.3% at 19 kW, 22 kW and 28 kW, respectively. These resulted in 15.07%, 15.16% and 14.96% fuel savings. The emissions of HC, CO2 and CO decreased, whereas the NOx emission increased.
Hydrogen Generation from Electrolysis - Final Technical Report
This report is a summary of the work performed by Teledyne Energy Systems to understand high pressure electrolysis mechanisms, investigate and address safety concerns related to high pressure electrolysis, develop methods to test components and systems of a high pressure electrolyzer, and produce design specifications for a low cost high pressure electrolysis system using lessons learned throughout the project. Included in this report are data on separator materials, electrode materials, structural cell design, and dissolved gas tests. Also included are the results of trade studies for active area, component design analysis, high pressure hydrogen/oxygen reactions, and control systems design. Several key pieces of a high pressure electrolysis system were investigated in this project and the results will be useful in further attempts at high pressure and/or low cost hydrogen generator projects. An important portion of the testing and research performed in this study are the safety issues that are present in a high pressure electrolyzer system and that they can not easily be simplified to a level where units can be manufactured at the cost goals specified, or operated by other than trained personnel in a well safeguarded environment. The two key objectives of the program were to develop a system to supply hydrogen at a rate of at least 10,000 scf/day at a pressure of 5000psi, and to meet cost goals of $600/ kW in production quantities of 10,000/year. On these two points TESI was not successful. The project was halted due to concerns over safety of high pressure gas electrolysis and the associated costs of a system which reduced the safety concerns.
2010: Effect of hydroxy (HHO) gas addition on performance and exhaust emissions in compression ignition engines
In this study, Hydroxy gas was produced by the electrolysis process of different electrolytes with various electrode designs in a leak proof plexiglass reactor (hydrogen generator). Hydroxy gas was used as a supplementary fuel in a four cylinder, four stroke, compression ignition engine without any modifications and without need for storage tanks.

Carbon Price Mechanism and EU carbon scheme linkage - more details revealed
by Brendan Bateman, Trisha Cashmere
Business now has greater certainty to manage its forward carbon liability, and, if the international carbon price remains at current levels, reduced compliance costs.
The Australian Government has moved on its promise to link the Australian Carbon Price Mechanism (CPM) and the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), and other changes to the CPM it announced in late August, with the introduction into Parliament last week of a new package of clean energy bills.
A number of other amendments are proposed to the application of the effective price on carbon for liquid and gaseous fuel users and those dealing with synthetic greenhouse gases, so that those who pay the carbon price outside of the CPM are paying a rate that reflects that paid by CPM participants.
Linking with the EU ETS
The EU ETS covers the European Union plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It is the world's largest emissions trading scheme covering approximately 11,000 facilities and with a value in 2011 of US$176 billion. Emissions in the EU fell to 17.5% below 1990 levels in 2011, although the contribution of the EU ETS to this reduction is questionable given the impacts of the Global Financial Crisis and other energy policies such as renewable energy feed in tariffs in some EU members.
Linking with the EU ETS will mean that to the extent that Australian liable entities choose to meet some of their liability under the CPM with international units, or the price of carbon units in Australian follows the European price, Australian liable entities will be affected by decisions made by European regulators.
In order to facilitate linking with the largest carbon market in the world, the international unit surcharge originally proposed by Australia will be removed by repealing the Clean Energy (International Unit Surcharge) Act 2011.
Whereas a limit on the use of international units was originally a general limit of 50% for the period from 1 July 2015, more detail has been applied, and a sublimit of 12.5% will be applied to eligible Kyoto units (Emissions Reduction Units and Certified Emissions Reductions), so that a liable entity in Australia may discharge its liability by surrendering up to 50% of international units from 2015, and the balance in Australian units, but of the total units surrendered only 12.5% may be Kyoto units. The sublimit will remain in place until 2020. That is, a liable entity could surrender 12.5% Kyoto international units, 37.5% EU allowances, and 50% Australian carbon units.
The Government may change these designated limits, but must provide three years' notice of any such change, except where the change is made to facilitate linking to another emissions trading scheme, in which case one year's notice must be provided. This limitation on amendment is intended to provide certainty and therefore stability to the market.
If a liable entity surrenders international units in amounts that exceeds the general or sub limits, the excess will be applied to liability for the following year following a formula set out in the legislation that is intended to ensure that the lowest cost units are surrendered first.
The Australian National Registry of Emissions Units Act 2011 will also be amended to provide for linking to international registries where this is possible. Where this is not possible, the Government will (to the extent that this is permitted by international registries) be able to open and operate international registry accounts and then issue Australian issued international units (AIIU), which will be another class of prescribed international unit. This means that AIIUs may be used to meet a liability under the CPM up to prescribed limits.
No surcharge on international units
There will be no surcharge for the use of international units, but here will be limits on their use units as described above.
Removal of the auction floor price, but addition of a reserve
The rationale for the removal of the auction floor price is to ensure that the cost of carbon units in the CPM reflects the cost of carbon units in the international market.
However, proposed amendments to the Clean Energy Act, amending section 111(5), which currently sets out the auction floor price, and inserting a new subsection 111(6A), provide that the Minister may by Ministerial determination establish a "reserve charge amount" for a specified auction. Explanatory memoranda released with the Bills suggest that a Ministerial determination which specifies how the calculation for the reserve charge amount will be made would provide market participants with certainty regarding the method of determining future auction reserve charges.
As to the procedural arrangements for the auction process, the Minister may establish all the policies and procedures for the auctioning process through a determination. This means that with respect to the actual auction processes market participants still need to wait and see.
The number of carbon units from a particular compliance year (or vintage) that may be auctioned prior to that year has been increased from 15 million to 40 million for 2015-16 carbon units auctioned in 2013-14, and 20 million for all advance auctions where the cap for the year of the vintage has not been set.
Further, units may not be auctioned more than three years in advance of their vintage year.
Equivalent carbon pricing for liquid and gaseous fuels and synthetic gases
In recognition of the fact that the use of eligible international emissions units may bring the cost of compliance under the CPM during the flexible price period from 1 July 2015 to an amount per tonne of emissions that is lower than the price of carbon units sold at auction by the Clean Energy Regulator, the calculation of the "equivalent carbon price" will be amended so that:
the price applied to synthetic greenhouse gases and liquid fuels is now known as the "per-tonne carbon price equivalent" and is calculated to take into account international links, by using a weighted average of domestic and international units; and
where the calculated "per tonne carbon price equivalent" is higher than the average carbon unit auction price, it will be the same as the average carbon unit auction price.
Changes to the treatment of some natural gas supply and use arrangements
There is concern that the legislation as presently enacted does not ensure full coverage for natural gas supply scenarios. Currently users of natural gas in small facilities (with under 25,000 tonnes of greenhouse emissions per annum) are not covered by the CPM if they produce and use their own natural gas, or buy their natural gas under an arrangement where the supplier's delivery and metering occurs upstream of the point of withdrawal of the gas from a pipeline.
The proposed amendments provide the Minister with the power to create regulations to provide for alternative gas supply arrangements to ensure full coverage of the sector and maintain competitive neutrality.
The amendments are seeking to achieve this by:
amending the definition of the supply so that regulations may specify circumstances that constitute supply for the purpose of the Act;
creating an "own use notification", and "follow up notifications" which are mechanisms by which suppliers of natural gas are able to identify when gas they have supplied has been used by the recipient.
What does this all mean to participants in the carbon market and liable entities?
The additional detail means greater certainty as business looks to manage its forward carbon liability, at least from 2015. If the international carbon price at that time remains at current levels, it also means reduced costs of compliance.
There is also some assurance for those entities who do not opt in to the CPM, but rather manage their liability for liquid, gaseous and synthetic gases through the various excise and tariff schemes, that the carbon price they pay aligns with the cost of compliance of those businesses that are liable entities under the CPM. For those in the natural gas sector, there can be confidence that there will be full coverage across the sector.
If you would like further detail on these matters, please let us know.

You will have to use pandora battery and files on your memory stick.
You really don't "wanna?" Too bad, get a Pandora, make a MMS, and hack it.
You could make a pandora battery without opening it up and cutting the wire. If you have a friend that has Custom Firmware you can use a Program to flash your battery into Pandora and then you could just flash it again and make it normal but don't forget to backup. I use the program OS Pandora Battery tool 0.5.
easiest way to hack your psp is to purchase a Datel Tool battery and use Despertar del Cementerio with the necessary kd and registry folders supplied by someone who already has a hacked psp.
Pandora battery is no longer needed for a phat on 3.92. Update to 5.03 OFW, and then use the ChickHen to run Hellcats Recovery Menu to install a CFW.
No, that's not true. I had 3.95 and I dont need to use pandora battery.
Anyway, if you need my help how to do this without use pandora battery and files. I have a link with tutor to help you. PM me.
That ChickHen doesn't even allow play of backups. Why would you want to update just for that, and not be able to play backups?
If you have a Hackable PSP on OFW and want to install CFW, then ChickHen allows you to run the CFW installation tools WITHOUT a Pandora.
So wait...if I update my PSP-1000 to 5.03 OFW, I can run ChickHens program, along with the Hellcats Recovery Flasher, and hack it to play backups without a Pandora?
If you can, please explain this in a PM. I need any help I can get.
Voila.. you can run PSP ISO and PSX games as well as any homebrew.
I did and it was the best one you need for 3.90 or above. Then, you need 5.00 m33-6 to update then you will play of backups. Yes. I did. Thanks to PSP hack site explained to me yesterday. I play PSP ISOs on my PSP just fine. Look at below of my signature.
Would it be easier to do the method you guys are talking about, or use a real Pandora battery and use the guide that's stickied on this forum?
Bad thing is, I already ordered a Pandora as was going to use the guide on this forum to hack my PSP.
Now I'm all confused. x_x.
I already order Pandora battery just in case because you never know if your psp happened to be brick then you can use it to unrbick it and even noob can do it without a help.
I order Pandora battery for almost 7 dollars dollars with no tax and free shipping. What about you?
I was confused like you yesterday and I understand how it works and I am all set. Now, I am going to pm you for a link.
i would really like a link to these files, cuz i wanna hack my psp... but alos my psp's analog sticks wont move to the left very fast anymore... is there a way to fix it?
You can download the ChickHEN from here. To install you simply copy the eggsploit.tiff from the PHAT directory in the archive to the PICTURE directory on the Memory Stick.
To install a custom firmware you can either use Hellcats Recovery Flasher availble here to go directly to a custom firmware. Or create a softmod your battery and create a MMS with this. In my opinion I would create a Pandora battery and MMS as if you were to brick the console you would always be able to recover it using the MMS and Pandora battery.
You will also need to download the 5.00 update EBOOT from here and place it in the root of the Memory Stick.
Then launch Hellcats Recovery Flasher to go directly to a custom firmware or PSP Tool to create a MMS and Pandora battery to go to a custom firmware and follow the prompts in the program/readme.
Guys, this is weird, I'm trying to do the Hellcats Recovery Flasher, and when I put the necessary files on my MMS, and follow the directions to put the program on, I keep getting an error saying, "This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted."
I even got that error when I tried using OSPBT.
Nevermind, figured it all out .

Download "Emmett's Dock Management" "AutoSave", an applet to make almost any application do a save (i.e. "Command-S") of the frontmost document at a user-specified interval. This works in Word 2011, Sibelius 7 and 8, BBEdit 10, Photoshop CS5, etc. Multiple copies can run simultaneously targeting different applications. When the target application is not frontmost, nothing happens. Transparent in operation except for some slight typical application unresponsiveness during the save. There is no minimum or maximum save interval, but in practice 30 to 60 seconds strikes a good balance between never losing work and having a responsive application.
AutoSave is working in Yosemite and beyond but you have to give it permission to control your machine in the "Accessibility" pane of the "Security and Privacy" preference pane.
Download "AutoSave" "MakeVanilla", an app to convert a Fake Mac (Hackintosh) boot partition into a real Mac boot partition.
Download "MakeVanilla" "QuicKeys Separation Loop", a QuicKeys V.4 sequence for Pro Tools (10, 11, and 12) which automates creating separate audio files based on marker names. The target track must be a single track but can be mono, stereo, or multi-channel, and can be a single consolidated file or any number of regions which will get consolidated per marker division when this runs. Unzip and import this file into QuicKeys and assign it a keyboard shortcut (currently cmd-opt-ctrl-F11). To use, make a selection in the target track, open the Markers window, and position the mouse over the marker of the first separation point. You'll get a dialog asking how many times to loop. Don't touch the mouse while the loop runs, because the selection of regions is done by controlling mouse movement down the marker list. You can loop as many times as you have visible markers in that window. If there are more markers than will fit in the window, scroll the window and run again picking up where you left off.
In Yosemite, sometimes the loop dialog doesn't pop into focus. If you have to mouse around to uncover it, remember to put the mouse back where it belongs before you hit enter to proceed. Probably best just to cancel and then invoke the process again, which always seems to work to bring the dialog frontmost.

Exercise increases your body's utilization of fat, and high-intensity exercise can enhance the effect. Can sports nutrition help you take it to the next level? A study published in theJournal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition offers some interesting insight into the question.
Using both trained and untrained subjects, researchers had some of these adult men supplement their diet with the juice from cashew apples which contains high amounts of antioxidant vitamin C and Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). They received 3.5 mL per kg of body weight daily for 4 weeks. Other subjects drank a placebo. Blood samples taken after 20 minutes of cycling at 85% of capacity showed a greater increase in fat oxidation and decrease in carbohydrate oxidation in supplemented subjects.
True Strength Moment: Because the juice harvested from cashew tree fruit is hard to come by and doesn't keep for very long, try mixing a BCAA powder into orange juice or creating another 'stack' that combines antioxidants with BCAAs. You might be able to replicate the fat burning boost while preserving more muscle tissue during intense exercise.

Q: KISS setup for Visual Studio Online I'm trying to set up a basic setup for Visual Studio online. I'm interested in two features: Version control (which I have working) and simple ticketing with assignment (think Bugzilla). I'm a company of 1. I don't need to overcomplicate the process with an unnecessary approval processes, team boards, etc. at this stage. I just need a way of tracking features and bugs in a KISS manner. How would I set this up?

A: Visual Studio Online is now Visual Studio Team Services, and some links have changed too. Here's the latest docs:
Step 1: Sign up for Team Services

Indecent assault victim tells Stephen Milne: You're no saint
STEPHEN Milne's long-suffering victim has told of the injustice she experienced over the 10 years it took to hold the former Saint to account for indecently assaulting her.

But glowing character references - including from a policewoman - helped the fallen footy star dodge conviction.
He was fined $15,000.
Milne, supported in court yesterday by his wife, refused to answer questions as he walked free from the County Court.
OPINION: SAINT'S DECADE-OLD SIN A FINE MESS
Close friend, Saints captain Nick Riewoldt, who earlier came under fire from anti-violence groups for supporting his mate, was not in court.
But he had provided a glowing reference that detailed Milne's own tale of despair.
"It hasn't just hurt his reputation. In my opinion it cost him further years of employment as both a player and a coach at St Kilda,'' he wrote.
"Coming off an All Australian season he still had plenty of good football to play.''
And ex-Saints captain Lenny Hayes said in his own statement that Milne's treatment at the hands of antagonists had been hard to watch.
"Opposition supporters called Stephen a rapist on a weekly basis,'' he wrote.
"In 2011 I had to leave a game at the MCG because it got to the point that I couldn't sit and listen to what people were yelling at him any more.''
A veteran police officer of 33 years, Wendy Wroblewski, was among others offering character references for Milne.
''I have been at the football when opposition supporters have called him a rapist, which has been both distressing and hurtful to both his and my family,'' Sgt Wroblewski wrote.
The victim, just 19 when assaulted, outlined her grief in a detailed statement.
Judge Michael Bourke said that she had been deeply affected by an incident that had changed her life.
"During the time immediately after, but also over the period of 10 years and of the renewed publicity and proceedings, there has been impact on her work, family and social life,'' he said.
"She deferred her university course for a year, and she continues to have feelings of being withdrawn and isolated.
"She has felt judged by others; she has been abused; she has felt a sense of injustice.''
She had difficulties sleeping and suffered nightmares.
"She has witnessed and felt the impact upon her mother."
Judge Bourke said he had difficulty in assessing her statement because Milne had pleaded guilty to a lesser charge than that initially laid.
"Having said that, it is still clear that (the victim) has suffered a good deal. She did nothing wrong and has not deserved the consequences and effects upon her," he said.
Milne met his victim and her female friend at the St Kilda Football Club family day in March 2004, the day after the club won the pre-season premiership.
The court heard Milne went back to the house of teammate Leigh Montagna, who had consensual sex with Milne's victim while Milne had sex with her friend. The court heard though the victim subsequently consented to sex she was unaware it was with Milne because of the darkened room.
Imposing sentence, Judge Bourke accepted the character references, which described Milne as a loyal, good-natured and generous man. He said Milne had matured a great deal since, and had behaved with respect towards women.
Judge Bourke said Milne had also suffered from the heavy publicity surrounding the case, which had had devastating impacts on his family and his job opportunities.
He described Milne as rehabilitated, and took account of his plea of guilty, good character, youth at the time, and the significant delay in the case.

88-meter long Prosperity Flying Dragon and the Phoenix floated/danced through to start the parade (Singapore Flyer and the Formula 1 stadium in the background).
I have never experienced a parade on the water! Leave it to Singapore to come up with such a brilliant idea for their 40th Anniversary of The Chingay Parade 2012 for the Chinese New Year and it was spectacular!
The word Chingay is from the Hokkien dialect, of which the Mandarin equivalent is Zhuang Yi (??), meaning "the art of masquerade". The festival began as a neighbourhood parade with only Chinese elements in 1973. Today, the Chingay Parade has evolved to be the grandest street and floats parade in Asia, showcasing the rich, vibrant multi-culturalism of Singapore and exciting cultures all over the world. To all Singaporeans, the next Chingay Parade is a parade of our people, our dreams and our pride! (Chingay website).
The parade wasn't actually in the bay, it went down a man-made waterway with ankle deep water flowing through. The lights and fire flames reflected from the ground, as well as sparkling from the object itself. 9,000 volunteers took part in the parade, dancing, singing, playing drums - Performing their culture to the audience.
Sorry about the videos. I accidentally deleted most, thinking they were terrible still-shots and this is what is left.
The passion the people have for this parade was felt through all of the fabulous performances from so many cultures around the world. Everyone had to have put all their energy and imaginations into these displays for this spectacular show for months. They were all so different.
The music, the lights, the dance, costumes and the energy that came from everyone at the parade was inspiring and just so....excited and happy!
The close of the Chinese New Year 2012 celebration ~ Year of the Dragon ~ leaves us smiling and hopeful, that we will keep that smile and positive energy for the rest of the year.


(Newser) – An Ohio woman expelled from high school just weeks before graduation after it was discovered she was married finally got her diploma—on her 93rd birthday, Jezebel reports. According to the Akron Beacon Journal, Dorothy Louise Liggett secretly married her husband after he was drafted into the Army in 1942. But when she accidentally let that fact slip during gym class, North High School in Akron followed school policy and kicked her out. She lived the rest of her life regretting not graduating.
Now she can go on to college and have random hook-ups like the rest of them!
weird rule about the marriage thing. Just think if the standards were still the same....we didn't have anyone married in our senior class but we did have about 8 pregnant chicks.
WHY IN HELL would they expel someone just because they got married?!!? That doesn't make any damn sense!!!! That's just ridiculous!!!!!!!!


McBean, Sam: "Seeing in Alison Bechdel's Fun Home." In: Camera Obscura 28.3 (2013), S. 103–123.
Alison Bechdel's autobiographical graphic novel, Fun Home (2006), intricately weaves together the author's coming-out story with her family's history, particularly the story of her father's closeted queer sexuality and possible suicide. In its exploration of family history, queer desires, and larger American historical events, Bechdel's novel deals with themes of trauma, memory, and historical narrative. The novel has been embraced for the queer way in which it approaches her family archive — it refuses to settle on one understanding of the truth of Bechdel's father, his sexuality, and the author's relationship to him, and instead insists on piecing together the past from a variety of angles. This article focuses on how the queer qualities of contingency and partiality that Fun Home produces around sexuality and the Bechdel family's history is an effect of the author's use of the visual possibilities of the graphic genre. Mapping Bechdel's coming-of-age story as a narrative about coming to see, this article traces the importance of vision in young Alison's gender identity, her relationship to her father, and her ability to posthumously "see" her father through family photographs. This article thus draws out the ways in which Bechdel represents the visual field as a source of both restriction and queer pleasure, the family as a site of both normalizing and queer looks, and the inevitable partiality of what she is able to see.

As línguas galo-românicas abrangem as línguas, em sentido mais restrito, francesa, franco-provençal, occitana. Como todas as línguas românicas, estas derivam do Latim. A maioria de todas essas línguas tem grande influência das línguas celtas e germânicas, tanto no léxico quanto no sistema fonológico.

Principais características das línguas galo-românicas

 A principal característica é a perda das vogais latinas finais especialmente foram perdidos (/e/, /i/) latinas. Algumas linguagens como o francês são alteradas por (e) que em muitos casos não são pronunciadas.
 Evolução da vogal latina (/u/) para (/y/) como ü em alemão. Isso aconteceu nas línguas de oïl, línguas galo-itálicas, franco-provençal, romanche e occitano. Duas vogais (ø/, /œ/) também foram desenvolvidas, representadas com as grafias (eu, ö). Está presente nas línguas de oïl, línguas galo-itálicas, romanche e alguns dialetos do ladino e  occitano.
 Presença de uma vogal neutra ou silenciosa (/ə/) que aparece como alofôno de (e, a). Está presente em as linguas de oïl, franco-provençal, romanche, occitano, catalão e algumas línguas galo-itálicas.
 Perda do infinitivo latino (re) especialmente nas línguas galo-itálicas e as línguas reto-românicas. Em francês, francoprovenzal, occitano e catalão, o infinitivo termina com (r) mas não é pronunciado.
 Conservação dos grupos latinos (cl, fl, pl) exceto para as línguas gallo-itálicas.
 Palatalização de (ca /ka/) inicial a (/ʃa /t͡ʃa/ e /ca/) pronunciado (ch, tch em português). Este fenômeno aconteceu no francoprovençal, nas línguas de oïl, nas línguas reto-românicas e nos dialetos setentrionais do occitano.
 Não desenvolveram ditongação nas vogais curtas (e, o) latinas.
 Lenição o perda das oclusivas surdas vocálicas (/p/, /k/, /t/).

Sometimes your bluntness just gets you into more trouble. Sometimes, your tactfulness doesn't seem to convey the magnitude of the situation or of your feelings. So when should you do either? This article contains guiding, helpful principles for both.
Ecclesiastes 10:12 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
There are several principles that ought to be followed in regards to knowing when a tactful or diplomatic response is better than a blunt one.
In all personal relationships. Treat your relationships like you would a fragile and expensive piece of china. Remember that your words can act like a sword (Proverbs 26:22). Unless you have a relationship that is flat out wrong or destructive, treat each one as very special, very important. The strength of these relationships is often determined on the strength of your communication. I believe that God meant for you to find joy and happiness within your relationships-including, naturally, your relationship with Him. Possessions and material wealth is a far, far second. Being blunt and forceful in your relationships will bring more conflict than joy.
When you must correct someone. The manner in which you correct someone often determines how they receive it. I understand that there will always be some that take correction badly, no matter how it comes, but even so, your words ought to demonstrate how much you care. It is important to be tactful when you correct someone.
When you must talk about other people's relationships. Nothing will make you an enemy faster than appearing to intrude into someone else's business. Telling others how to run their relationships is sure to send the wrong message and to be counterproductive. Learning to be tactful in these situations will help prevent you from making unnecessary enemies.
When you are trying to help. Most of us like to help, but how we come across will determine if someone will accept our help or not. People will reject your assistance if they misunderstand your intentions. Even when you aren't trying to correct someone-just want to help-your words may come across as condemning and people don't take to that very well.
When you need help or cooperation. Some time ago, a woman called me up asking for help. Normally, I try to help anyone if it is within my means. But this woman, before I even said hello, began to chew me out for the way other people had refused to help her. She went on and on about how no one cared, no one would even try to help, and she made me feel that it was all my fault. Sorry to say, I took offense and told her that with an attitude like that, I'd be surprised if anyone ever helped her. I regret my remarks, but if she would have been more tactful, I probably would have tried to help. She made it so that I didn't want to help.
When someone is hurting. Don't be cruel to the grieving. Even if what you say is the truth, a little bit of tactfulness will go a long way in helping someone. When people are hurting, particularly if they went ahead and did something stupid against the advice of others, an 'I told you so' is grievous to that person. It doesn't help. Learn to be tactful around those that are hurt-even if they deserve what they got. They still don't deserve you adding to their pain.
When you want someone to do something. This is a big one. Trying to get people to do something that you think they ought to do difficult even if you are tactful. But being blunt will only cause a wall to be raised between the two of you. If you come across as a know it all, bossy, more holier than thou, or even condescending, you'll find people having no wish to do what you want them to do. I've never tasted coffee. The reason for it is just before I went off to college, a man asked me, "Are you taking a large coffee pot with you?" I frowned and replied, "No, I don't drink coffee." He smirked and, in a very annoying voice, countered, "Oh you will. You will." I got so irritated at his 'I know more than you' tone of voice that I vowed I'd never drink coffee. I had nothing against it, per say, but now I had a reason not to. And I haven't. Sound silly? Of course it is, but this happens all too often. Learn to be more tactful.
There are times when being blunt is necessary. Although, in my opinion, it is more important to know when you need to be tactful and gracious. These will get you much further in life than being blunt. Still, bluntness does have its place.
Here we see Paul being blunt about a mistake that Peter had made. In other scriptures, we see Jesus and John the Baptist verbally flogging the Pharisees. Their bluntness is a matter of record, but there is a lesson to be learned from it as well.
When it is vital to get someone's attention. If your child is playing in the middle of the street and a car is approaching, you're not going to be diplomatic about trying to get him to move. You'll start yelling, bluntly, at both your child and the driver hoping to get either or both of their attention to protect your child. Sometimes, it is essential that we get someone's attention. This is usually to keep them from hurting themselves or hurting others.
When speaking in crowds or in general terms. It is when you are singling someone out that you ought to be tactful. But telling the truth about, say, political corruption may offend some, but is appreciated by the majority. As a pastor, I often speak bluntly about the social woes that plague our society. Some may not like it. But the majority will appreciate someone who is not going to beat around the bush. Even in casual conversation with only one person, you can be blunt when speaking in general terms. In fact, the bluntness is appreciated and is often preferable to political correctness. You can't appease the masses. So don't try. Be honest in such situations. We live in a society where feelings have trumped relationships. We are more concerned with someone's feelings than we are with establishing good solid relationships. Well, I'm offended at such a preposterous notion. See, you can't please everyone, so in crowds or speaking in general terms, you can be blunt. Not that you must, just that you can.
When you must protect someone. People are worth protecting. A good relationship is worth salvaging. If someone comes to you to tear down the reputation of another, send him on a way with a blunt, "I don't listen to trash." If someone tries to seduce my children to try drugs and I catch him, I'll have plenty of blunt words to say. I'm not seeking to change the dealer, but rather to protect my own children. If both are friends, I would revert back to tactfulness. Paul had to protect all the Gentiles from the corruptive thinking that Peter had fallen prey to. This wasn't about Peter as much as it was about thousands and thousands of other people.
When you must protect a value. Morals and values are the ties that bind relationships. When two people share the same values and morals they invariably have a closer relationship than those that do not. These values need protecting. If it's just you under attack, you can ignore it. But when it involves others, you may need to go to bat for them. Sometimes bluntness is the best action.
After all tactfulness has failed and it's still necessary to say it. There will be times when you try to be tactful and the person you're talking to either just doesn't get it or refuses to hear it. Be sure that it is indeed one of those times before deciding to be blunt. The desire to say something can be stronger than the need to say something. If you still feel that you must be blunt, then this is the time to do it. Be warned, you'll probably cause hurt feelings. So if it comes to this point, be prepared to help heal any injured feelings that you might cause.

Tate and Guggenheim vow to refuse Sackler money
Tate Britain Gallery, London. Courtesy Flickr Commons.
By Katherine Keener Published on 25 March 2019 at 12 h 05 min
When the National Portrait Gallery in London and Sackler Trust stopped the progress of a gift of £1 million from the Sackler Trust on March 19th as part of an agreement, museums took note. In the last week, two other institutions, in both the UK and US, followed suit. As a result, the Sackler Trust has halted all donations for the foreseeable future.
On March 21st following the advice of their ethics committee, the trustees of Tate galleries, which includes the Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool, and Tate St Ives, announced in a statement:
'The Sackler family has given generously to Tate in the past, as they have to a large number of U.K. arts institutions […] We do not intend to remove references to this historic philanthropy. However, in the present circumstances we do not think it right to seek or accept further donations from the Sacklers.'
The very next day, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York announced similar sentiments. In a brief statement, the museum disclosed that further giving from the Sackler family would be stopped saying: 'No contributions from the Sackler family have been received since 2015 […] No additional gifts are planned, and the Guggenheim does not plan to accept any gifts.' In February, the Guggenheim was also one of the locations for a protest by P.A.I.N., an activist group headed by artist Nan Goldin. Their February 9th protest called for the Guggenheim and Metropolitan Museum of Art to stop taking money from the family and to take the Sackler name off portions of the museum due to their potential link to the opioid crisis.
The Met, which in January announced they would reevaluate the donations vetting process after members of the Sackler family were listed in lawsuits around the opioid crisis, has yet to take similar actions. However, in a statement, Ken Weine, vice president and chief communications officer of the Met, said: 'The Sackler family has been connected with the Met for more than a half century […] The family is a large extended group and their support of The Met began decades before the opioid crisis.' Weine then reiterated their investigations saying, 'The Met is currently engaging in a further review of our detailed gift acceptance policies, and we will have more to report in due course.'
Recent events have also lead to a response from the Sackler Trust. Released on behalf of the organization's trustees, a statement from the Sackler Trust's chair, Dame Theresa Sackler reads:
'I am deeply saddened by the addiction crisis in America and support the actions Purdue Pharma is taking to help tackle the situation, whilst still rejecting the false allegations made against the company and several members of the Sackler family.
The current press attention that these legal cases in the United States is generating has created immense pressure on the scientific, medical, educational and arts institutions here in the UK, large and small, that I am so proud to support. This attention is distracting them from the important work that they do.
The Trustees of the Sackler Trust have taken the difficult decision to temporarily pause all new philanthropic giving, while still honouring existing commitments.
I remain fully committed to all the causes the Sackler Trust supports, but at this moment it is the better course for the Trust to halt all new giving until we can be confident that it will not be a distraction for institutions that are applying for grants.'
Members of the Sackler family are involved in ongoing investigations into the connection of Perdue Pharmaceuticals, founded and primarily owned by Sacklers, and the opioid crisis. In the mid-90s, Perdue Parma created and marketed OxyContin. Perdue Pharma is being sued by around 2,000 entities for falsely marketing the opioid and profiting off the highly addictive substance. Eight members of the Sackler family are being sued as well for connections to encouraging the drug be over prescribed and having knowingly mislead doctors. OxyContin, as well as other opioids, have been involved in the death of thousands of American each year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, over 200,000 have died between 1999 and 2017 due to overdoses related to prescription opioids.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies has given a glowing remark on Manchester United managerial target Mauricio Pochettino.
The Argentine has been out of work since being sacked by Spurs in November 2019, and was replaced by former United boss Jose Mourinho, who remains in charge in north London.
With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in immense pressure at Old Trafford after a mixed start to the season, the club have made an approach to Pochettino to replace the Norwegian at Old Trafford as reported by Manchester Evening News.
Pochettino has been constantly linked with the with the United job, and speculation has only intensified in recent days.
Spurs left-back Davies has rated the Argentine as a top-class manager and has revealed what the Red Devils will achieve with him being in charge.
"Under Poch we very much had our style of play and it was just the high press, high intensity," Davies told talkSPORT.
"Now I think we're a bit more tactical, we're a bit more aware of what we're coming up against.
"We have a game plan for each game."

The Most Notable Violations Against the Humanitarian Field During the Conflict in Syria
1,109 Humanitarian Workers Have Been Killed in Eight Years, and 3,984 Others Are Still Detained
In its latest report released today, the Syrian Network for Human Rights reveals that at least 1,109 humanitarian workers have lost their lives in Syria in the past eight years, and at least 3,984 are still detained or forcibly disappeared. The report reviews the most notable violations against humanitarian field since the start of the popular uprising for democracy in Syria in March 2011.
The 25-page report notes that the internal armed conflict in Syria is characterized by unprecedented challenges to humanitarian organizations and to their personnel. This is considered one of the worst conflicts in the world, with the magnitude of these violations coming as a shock to a large number of workers in the humanitarian, human rights and media fields.
The report points out that international humanitarian law is clear in granting powers to provide relief work of a humanitarian nature in both domestic or international armed conflicts; these powers are clearly stated in Protocol 2, Article 18-2, Geneva Convention 4, Articles 17, 23 and 59, Protocol 1, Article 70, and Rule 55 of customary humanitarian law.
Fadel Abdul Ghany, the Chairman of the SNHR, adds "It may be possible to imagine preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid, which includes a fundamental violation of human rights, but it is very difficult to imagine a regime that repeatedly bombs the humanitarian organizations, and persecutes and kills their personnel. The brutality has reached a frightening level. The task of saving and rescuing civilians has become an act that itself causes death, which is the main objective of the Syrian regime in targeting the humanitarian organizations; to achieve the greatest possible suffering for civilians by preventing anyone from saving them. "
This report reviews the records of the most notable violations perpetrated against humanitarian workers and related facilities from March 2011 to March 2019. According to the rigorous methodology of the Syrian Network for Human Rights, humanitarian workers, include those working in the medical field, such as doctors, nurses, paramedics, pharmacists, phlebotomists and other experts in various medical specialties, as well as administrative staff, and those working in the operation and transport of medical supplies, Civil Defense personnel and, finally, humanitarian workers. The term vital humanitarian centers is here a reference to medical centers, Civil Defense centers, related facilities and relief convoys.
The report outlines the most notable challenges facing the humanitarian field in Syria during the last eight years, noting that the targeting of humanitarian workers and their equipment has been a tactic adopted by the Syrian regime since the early days of the popular uprising in March 2011, with the regime persecuting medical personnel, hospitals and doctors, who provide aid to those injured in the demonstrations and targeting anyone providing medical supplies or medicines for treatment. According to the report, this monstrous strategy was adopted because the Syrian regime recognized the vital role of humanitarian workers in alleviating the suffering of civilians.
The report notes that Syrian Regime forces have besieged and stormed many hospitals, clinics and field hospitals, which provided assistance and medical treatment to those wounded in demonstrations, abducting many of the injured from inside these hospitals and arresting medical staff. The report also outlines the major challenges faced by relief organizations operating in areas outside the control of the Syrian regime, such as air strikes by the Syrian regime and its allies, and targeting the headquarters of humanitarian organizations and their personnel working in the field.
The report further notes that the Syrian regime's control of most of the relief supplies sent by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs is another massive challenge facing the fully legitimate and credible national human rights organizations. It further notes that the Damascus office of the UNOHCR is run by family members of high-ranking officials in the Syrian regime, and that the dependence of the UN office in Syria on the Syrian Red Crescent is in itself a legitimate cause for doubting the integrity and trustworthiness of the distribution of relief supplies, since the Syrian Red Crescent is controlled almost completely by regime security departments; as the report notes, most of the humanitarian relief supplies provided to the UN in Syria have been distributed according to the Syrian regime's wishes, and therefore go to regime areas which are not the worst affected and have no need of these supplies, with coordination with the highly credible national humanitarian organizations minimized in comparison to the coordination with the Syrian Red Crescent.
In addition to the Syrian, Iranian and Russian regimes, other parties have engaged in practices that posed challenges of a different kind to the humanitarian organizations and their workers in Syria. Elements affiliated with ISIS stormed field hospitals, dispensaries, Red Crescent centers, and relief warehouses, injuring or abducting doctors and paramedics. In addition, ISIS prevented some doctors from practicing their specialty according to their discriminatory laws, and killed humanitarian workers on multiple charges, including their allegiance to the Syrian regime, supposed cooperation with it, or violating the policies of the extremist organization. Hay'at Tahrir al Sham has also restricted humanitarian work, particularly relief work, in the areas under its control in the north.
According to the report, 1,109 humanitarian workers have been killed by the main parties in the conflict in Syria from March 2011 to March 2019. Of these victims, 872 were killed at the hands of Syrian Regime forces, 91 were killed at the hands of Russian forces, while ISIS killed 47, Hay'at Tahrir al Sham killed five personnel working in the humanitarian field, and factions of the Armed Opposition killed 30. The report further reveals that nine humanitarian personnel were killed at the hands of Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, while 13 others were killed at the hands of International Coalition forces, and 42 were killed at the hands of other parties.
According to the report, at least 3,984 humanitarian workers are still detained or forcibly disappeared by the main parties in Syria from March 2011 to March 2019. Of these detainees, 3,847 are still detained in Syrian regime detention centers, 78 in ISIS prisons, and nine in prisons of Hay'at Tahrir al Sham, while 32 personnel working in the humanitarian field are in prisons of the Syrian Democratic Forces, and at least 18 others are in prisons of factions of the Armed Opposition, according to the report.
The report documents at least 1,463 attacks on vital humanitarian facilities at the hands of the main parties in Syria from March 2011 until March 2019. The Syrian regime is responsible for 936 of these attacks, while Russian forces carried out 351 others, with 27 carries out by ISIS, 22 by Hay'at Tahrir al Sham. Meanwhile, factions of the Armed Opposition carried out 24 attacks, while the report records four attacks at the hands of the Syrian Democratic Forces, 16 at the hands of International Coalition Forces, and 83 at the hands of other parties.
The report stresses that deliberate attacks against medical facilities, medical personnel, clearly identified individuals and facilities marked by emblems protected by the Geneva Convention, and those working in the humanitarian field or with peacekeeping groups, are war crimes, and it is part of the International Criminal Court's duties to hold the perpetrators accountable, according to Article 8 of the court's charter, as well as constituting a breach of the rules 31, 32, 45, 55, 56 of the International Customary Humanitarian Law.
The report notes that Incidents included in this report are unquestionably examples of breaches of UN Security Council resolutions 2139 and 2254 calling for the end of arbitrary attacks, and are a breach of UN Security Council resolution 2286, with the report further calling for an end to violations and transgressions committed in armed conflicts against workers in the medical field as well as in humanitarian relief, who are specifically performing medical tasks. The report also strongly condemns attacks on these organizations' transportation vehicles as well as their equipment, hospitals, and other medical facilities, adding that bombings have accidentally caused losses of civilian lives, injuries, and severe damage to civilian facilities, and there are strong indications which lead us to believe the damage was disproportionately extreme compared to any military objectives for the attacks.
The report calls on the Security Council to reevaluate the level of risk of violations of human rights and its threat levels to international and regional peace and security, and to revert to Article Seven to protect humanitarian workers and facilities in Syria, to no longer classify the Syrian government as a legitimate official party in regard to any relief efforts, given its responsibility for multiple crimes against humanity, and to ensure that it is no longer supplied with large amounts of financial or any other relief, which mostly fails to reach those who desperately need and deserve this aid.
The report recommends that all the parties to the conflict, especially the Syrian-Russian alliance, should immediately stop bombing hospitals and objects covered by care and civilian areas, and should respect customary humanitarian law, and to ensure the protection of vital centers involved in humanitarian operations and of the personnel working in them.
The report urges humanitarian organizations operating in Syria not to distinguish assistance from protection, and stresses that personnel in this field must report all violations they face while carrying out their work, and must issue strong warnings, condemnations and denunciations in the event in case such violations are repeated.

April 16, 1943: Hallucinogenic effects of LSD discovered
Posted by RP | Apr 17, 2017 | Third Party Sources |
In Basel, Switzerland, Albert Hoffman, a Swiss chemist working at the Sandoz pharmaceutical research laboratory, accidentally consumes LSD-25, a synthetic drug he had created in 1938 as part of his research into the medicinal value of lysergic acid compounds. After taking the drug, formally known as lysergic acid diethylamide, Dr. Hoffman was disturbed by unusual sensations and hallucinations. In his notes, he related the experience: "Last Friday, April 16, 1943, I was forced to interrupt my work in the laboratory in the middle of the afternoon and proceed home, being affected by a remarkable restlessness, combined with a slight dizziness. At home I lay down and sank into a not unpleasant, intoxicated-like condition characterized by an extremely stimulated imagination. In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed (I found the daylight to be unpleasantly glaring), I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors. After some two hours this condition faded away." After intentionally taking the drug again to confirm that it had caused this strange physical and mental state, Dr. Hoffman published a report announcing his discovery, and so LSD made its entry into the world as a hallucinogenic drug. Widespread use of the so-called "mind-expanding" drug did not begin until the 1960s, when counterculture figures such as Albert M. Hubbard, Timothy Leary, and Ken Kesey publicly expounded on the benefits of...
April 15, 1947: Jackie Robinson breaks color barrier
On this day in 1947, Jackie Robinson, age 28, becomes the first African-American player in Major League Baseball when he steps onto Ebbets Field in Brooklyn to compete for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Robinson broke the color barrier in a sport that had been segregated for more than 50 years. Exactly 50 years later, on April 15, 1997, Robinson's groundbreaking career was honored and his uniform number, 42, was retired from Major League Baseball by Commissioner Bud Selig in a ceremony attended by over 50,000 fans at New York City's Shea Stadium. Robinson's was the first-ever number retired by all teams in the league. Jack Roosevelt Robinson was born January 31, 1919, in Cairo, Georgia, to a family of sharecroppers. Growing up, he excelled at sports and attended the University of California at Los Angeles, where he was the first athlete to letter in four varsity sports: baseball, basketball, football and track. After financial difficulties forced Robinson to drop out of UCLA, he joined the army in 1942 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant. After protesting instances of racial discrimination during his military service, Robinson was court-martialed in 1944. Ultimately, though, he was honorably discharged. After the army, Robinson played for a season in the Negro American League. In 1945, Branch Rickey, general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, recruited Robinson, who was known for his integrity and intelligence as...
April 13, 1997: Tiger Woods wins first major
On this day in 1997, 21-year-old Tiger Woods wins the prestigious Masters Tournament by a record 12 strokes in Augusta, Georgia. It was Woods' first victory in one of golf's four major championships–the U.S. Open, the British Open, the PGA Championship, and the Masters–and the greatest performance by a professional golfer in more than a century. Eldrick "Tiger" Woods was born in a suburb of Los Angeles, California, on December 30, 1975. The only child of an African-American father and a Thai mother, Woods was encouraged from infancy by his father for a career in golf. At the age of two, he teed off against comedian Bob Hope on television's Mike Douglas Show. At five years old, he was featured on the television show That's Incredible. At age eight, Tiger won his first junior world championship, and in 1991, at age 15, he became the youngest player ever to win the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. He also captured the 1992 and 1993 Junior Amateur titles, and in 1994 accepted a scholarship to attend Stanford University. That year, he came from six holes behind to win the first of his three consecutive U.S. Amateur championships. He was 18 years old and the youngest Amateur champion in history. In 1995, Tiger played the Masters, his first professional major championship. The Augusta National Golf Club, which runs the Masters, had not let...

Cancel news about cancellation — Rutgers inviting Fox guest Lisa Daftari after all
Dan Alexander
Lisa Daftari (Lisa Daftari)
NEW BRUNSWICK — Rutgers University College Republicans and several other campus groups have started an online petition in support of Lisa Daftari's appearance on campus — and the school has offered her four dates in November to speak.
Daftari's presentation was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but postponed after a student who called her an "Islamopobe" started an online petition. Objections were also voiced by the student government association about university funds being used to pay Daftari.
"Islamic terror takes its guidance and teachings from the Quran, which is Sharia law," that petition quotes Daftari as saying. "When you go to the mosque and you're part of a community, and you want to feel important and relevant, and want to give back to the cause — [ISIS] recruits you. You say I can be an ISIS wife."
Rutgers confirmed to New Jersey 101.5 that she was paid $5,000 as a speaking fee from a privately endowed lecture fund.
Young Americans for Liberty-Rutgers University, The Centurion and Young Americans for Freedom-Rutgers University co-sponsored another petition, seeking to let Daftari speak.
SIGN THIS PETITION: THERE'S HOPE FOR RUTGERS AND FREE SPEECH (OPINION)
"We believe that the University's decision to cancel her talk was cowardly and betrays the true purpose of university: to expose students to new ideas and knowledge," the petition read.
Rutgers spokesman John Cramer told New Jersey 101.5 that Daftari was welcome to speak on campus, and the school's Undergraduate Academic Affairs offered Daftari four dates in November — Wednesday, Nov. 14, Monday, Nov. 19, Monday, Nov. 26 and Wednesday, Nov. 28.
"The university's position on the free exchange of ideas is clear; the ability to respectfully present, discuss and debate matters in the public interest is at the heart of what every great university does. Such free and respectful discussion is fundamental to Rutgers' core values and is practiced every day at Rutgers," Hogan said.
Hogan did not disclose a reason for the postponement of the original Oct. 16 date.
"I am certain that in the course of your comments and follow-up questions from our students, your views will be fully articulated and will generate respectful and vigorous discussion both by those who agree and those who disagree with those views," UAA Vice Chancellor Ben Sifuentes-Jáuregui wrote in his invitation.
Daftari is a 2002 Rutgers graduate born to Iranian Jewish parents and was originally scheduled to speak as part of the Rutgers Undergraduate Academic Affairs (UAA) Speaker Series. She is founder of the website The Foreign Desk and a Fox News guest.
Daftari 's speech was to "focus on free speech" and facilitate a conversation around the question "how can we use our college campuses as a place of learning, thinking, and leadership rather than violence, hatred, and radicalism," followed by a Q&A session, according to he UAA.
