Q: Efficiency of form based authentication against LDAP in Java apps I built a couple of apps in Java that run on Weblogic 12C with authentication from an OpenLDAP server. The OpenLDAP authenticator is defined in Weblogic security realm. Pages / URL's are secured by role-based authorization. The setup is similar to that given here.
However, is such a setup efficient? At login, a call would be sent to the LDAP server to authenticate users, of course. But if I use if(request.isUserInRole("Member_admin")){ extensively within JSP pages and servlets, would a call be sent each time, or are the results cached? If each triggers a call, that would slow things down tremendously when the app is under load.

Q: Add new column to existing dataframe from substring of existing column I have a df that looks similar to this:
|email|first_name|last_name|id|group_email|
|-|-|-|-|-|
|drew@mail.com|drew|barry|05|san-red-gate-rate@mail.com|
|nate@mail.com|nate|lewis|03|san-blue-gate-factor@mail.com|
|chris@mail.com|chris|ryan|04|san-red-wheels-drive@mail.com|

I parse out the group_code, the sub string after the 3rd hyphen. I now want to add this sub tring back into the dataframe for each entry. So the df will look like so:
|email|first_name|last_name|id|group_email|group_code|
|-|-|-|-|-|-|
|drew@mail.com|drew|barry|05|san-red-gate-rate@mail.com|rate|
|nate@mail.com|nate|lewis|03|san-blue-gate-factor@mail.com|factor|
|chris@mail.com|chris|ryan|04|san-red-wheels-drive@mail.com|drive|

How can I go about doing this?

A: Let's try
df['group_code'] = (df['group_email'].str.extract('(-[^@]*){3}')[0]
                    .str.lstrip('-'))

print(df)

Patsy Mink: Ahead of the Majority
It's not too often that I get to attend an Asian American-related event in Tucson. Yesterday, I got the opportunity to watch a screening of the documentary Patsy Mink: Ahead of the Majority and attend a Q&A with filmmaker Kimberlee Bassford, afterwards. The screening was sponsored by several local feminist progresive groups, and proceeds from the event went towards funding female progressive candidates in the next election cycle.
As you can imagine, Patsy Mink is one of my all-time heroes. Mink was the first woman of colour (let alone the first Asian American woman) to be elected to the House of Representatives, and is among the feminist movement's most influential figures for being the principal author of Title IX, which established equality for women in academics and sports. Quite simply, Title IX states:
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance…
Ahead of the Majority is a thorough documentary that follows Mink's rise through the political ranks in Hawai'i to her election as congresswoman when she lobbied to pass Title IX, and finally to the end of her life in 2002.
From the documentary, I learned quite a bit about Mink's legacy that I didn't previously know. For example, I had no idea Mink ran for president in Oregon on an anti-Vietnam War platform in 1972. Though she only garnered 2% of the vote in the Oregon primary (her candidacy was a political anti-war statement), Mink is the first Asian-American to run for president of the United States of America.
I was also struck by how often racism and sexism placed obstacles in front of Mink, and how she powered through each and every challenge without ever appearing defeated or weakened. When Hawai'i first achieved statehood in 1959, Mink and fellow politico Daniel Inouye ran for House of Representatives and Senate respectively. The documentary noted how Mink and Inouye initially hoped to both be elected and to work together in Washington D.C .to represent Hawai'i. However, Democratic party leaders in Hawai'i pressured Inouye to drop out of the Senate race a month before the election and challenge Mink for Congressman. Already a popular political figure in Hawai'i, Inouye ran essentially on the platform that voters should choose a man, not a woman, as their representative — and Mink lost the seat overwhelmingly.
Mink ran again in 1965 and was finally elected to the House of Representatives, where she ultimately served 6 terms and worked tirelessly to author and pass Title IX. Mink was an outspoken advocate for women, children, and the poor, and the documentary includes many clips of Mink speaking passionately on these issues in interviews and on the floor of the House.
In 1976, after serving as a Congressman for 11 years, Mink gave up her seat to run for Senate. Again, her opponent, Spark Matsunaga, launched character attacks against Mink causing her to eventually lose the race. Returning to Honolulu, Mink was elected to City Council. After failed races for Mayor and Governor of Hawai'i, Mink again ran for her House of Representatives seat in 1990, winning on a platform of experience and dedication. She won in a landslide victory, and returned to Washington where she advocated tirelessly on behalf of poor people and women until her death in 2002.
Ahead of the Majority is eye-opening and well-researched; no easy task for filmmaker Kimberlee Bassford considering no full-length biography of Patsy Mink has ever been written. And it is this one simple fact that is perhaps most striking about Ahead of the Majority. After viewing this film, I couln't help but wonder: Why is it that we remember Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, Shirley Chisholm, and feminist theorists like Gloria Steinam and Andrea Dworkin, but most people are unaware of Patsy Mink and her legacy? Why has her story been ignored for so long by biographers, filmmakers, and modern historians?
As an Asian American and as a feminist, Patsy Mink is the quintessential role model. As alluded to by Ahead of the Majority's tagline, Mink would not be defeated by oppression and discrimination: rather, she changed the rules. The documentary notes that in the less than fifty years since the passage of Title IX, the number of higher education degrees awarded to women went from roughly 7% to almost 50%. It is amazing to realize that a woman like Mink, who did so much to forward the cause of women's rights, was an Asian American and a feminist — her lasting legacy to the Asian American community is that we, too, can aspire to be more than society would limit us to be. We can and should be fighters for the equality that all people (regardless of gender, class, colour or creed) are deserving of. We, too, are part of America.
Unfortunately, even after her death, inklings of the racism and discrimination that Mink faced during her political career remain apparent. Although Mink was a strong feminist figure, she faced endless sexism and racism throughout her life. The film opens with a clip from the Mike Douglas show, where Patsy Mink, then a sitting U.S. Congressman, is asked to dance the hula with a girl clad in a Hawai'ian grass skirt — no male sitting Congressman would be expected to do something so kitschy and degrading, both then and now. The documentary also includes a newspaper headline reporting Mink's election to the House of Representatives; it reads: "Pert and Pretty Patsy Mink Also Has A Lot of Serious Ideas" — diminishing her status as a newly-elected member of the U.S. House of Representatives to little more than a novelty. And, time and again throughout Mink's life, the Democratic Party of Hawai'i preferentially awarded opportunities to "haoles" despite the dedication that Asian American politicians like Mink (and Inouye) showed to the party.
And while it would be nice to hope that the kind of racism and sexism that Mink faced in her lifetime had decreased, I was appalled by some of the general ignorance I witnessed during the event's Q&A. As if unable to grasp the fact that Mink was a Japanese American woman, some in yesterday's audience seemed unable to consider Mink anything but Japanese. With no mention made of Mink's religion in any part of the film, audience members were convinced that Mink — based purely on her Japanese ancestry — must be a devout Buddhist (because all Japanese people are Buddhist, right?). One audience member asked Bassford whether, in her research, she uncovered evidence that Mink was Buddhist. Bassford replied, clear as day, that while Mink's grandparents were Buddhist, Mink was not devoutly religious. However, Bassford added, Mink was likely Christian, not Buddhist.
Not five minutes later, a second person raised their hand and asked whether, outside of the public burial and memorial service held for Mink after her death, there was a private, Buddhist ceremony.
Cue eyeroll.
It was this generally awkward (mis)treatment of Mink's racial identity that I encountered while attending the event. Event organizers touted the film entirely from a feminist perspective and only to Tucson's feminist community, practically ignoring her place in Asian American history. Consequently, outside of myself and one or two others, there were no Asian/Asian Americans to attend yesterday's screening of Ahead of the Majority. When Electroman questioned event organizers as to why there didn't seem to be any representatives of Tucson's Asian American community participating in the event, he was told that organizers didn't know where to find politicized Asian Americans in this town. While the documentary fairly addressed Mink's relationship with her racial identity, it felt as if event organizers weren't sure how to honour Patsy Mink as not just a feminist figure, but as a feminist of colour.
That being said, the conflict between feminism and racial activism reared its head even in Mink's life. One audience member asked during the Q&A whether Bassford intended to make such a starry-eyed tribute to Mink's career, or whether she had deliberately excluded criticisms of Mink. Bassford said that, in general, it was hard to find things to criticize about Mink; yet, despite my general hero worship of Mink, I think she can be fairly criticized on her lack of interest in helping to elevate other Asian Americans to elected office, or in championing Asian American issues. Unlike her colleagues, including Senator Daniel Inouye (who comes out somewhat like a villain in the documentary), Mink focused on women's issues and poverty during her political career, and did little to encourage other Asian Americans to become more politically educated. Since Patsy Mink's time as a Congressman, the number of women in elected positions has increased dramatically, yet there still remain only a handful of Asian Americans in higher office. As Bassford put it when I asked her about Mink's lack of involvement in Asian American politics, she replied that while Mink is considered a role model for Asian Americans, she is not considered one of our political leaders.
Bassford hits on an important point: many of the Asian American community's political leaders are men (Councilman and current candidate for NYC comptroller John C. Liu, Senator Daniel Inouye, and Senator Daniel Akaka to name just a few). Why was it that Patsy Mink, a woman who faced so much racism in her life, and who clearly considered herself an Asian American, did not include the Asian American community as one of her political priorities? And does this abject underrepresentation of Asian American women amongst the leadership roles of our community result in a lack of attention given to Asian American feminist concerns?
A woman came up to me after the event and asked me about my question regarding Patsy Mink and the Asian American community. I suggested that many feminists of colour often face sexism within their racial communities (and racism within the feminist community) that often leads to ostracization. Despite Professor Gary Okihiro's appropriation of the phrase "when and where I enter" to describe the critical importance of eliminating sexism within the Asian American community to achieve equality for all Asian Americans, in our community as well as in other communities of colour, male leaders often emphasize an expectation that women should act in a supporting role to elevate male community leaders, rather than to seek prominence or equality themselves. Feminist issues are frequently seen as distractions from the struggle for racial equality, and too often, sexist attacks are lobbed against empowered feminists of colour from both within and outside the community when those feminists speak out against intraracial sexism.
But that should not be the status quo. After watching Ahead of the Majority and witnessing the passion with which Mink challenged injustice, I wish some of her incredible energy had been used to specifically help the Asian American community. Compared to the emphasis Mink placed on sexism and women's rights, Mink rarely spoke about the racism she encountered as an Asian American. And while Mink's contribution towards women's rights in this country cannot be denied, the Asian American community needs Asian American political leaders who are willing to break the silence regarding Asian American issues of all kinds, including gender issues.
To that end, Patsy Mink is an amazing pioneer. She is an example to the Asian American community that we can (and should) make a difference. But Mink can certainly be criticized for the lack of attention she paid to Asian American issues, and I hope that from her life, we can remember that while Mink's accomplishments cannot be overstated, there is much more work still left to be done. I hope that we can learn to be inclusive of feminist concerns within the Asian American community, and reduce the mistrust that seems to exist between Asian American race activists and Asian American feminists.
And above all, I hope that we can take inspiration from Patsy Mink's story to encourage more young Asian Americans to enter into politics — so that they, too, can change the rules for the better.

"Geisha": Blog Wars?
Yikes — looks like we might have a blog war a-brewin' between APAP and 8Asians.
I blogged earlier this afternoon about the "Geisha" bar opening in Oakland, linking a post from APAP for some of my sources. It turns out that Moye, over at 8Asians, also read the APAP post and has a different take on the "Geisha" fiasco.
Aside from the heavy cultural significance of the word, the leaders of this protest also cite that giving the bar with such a name would help support sexual harassment, mental illness, and a negative economic impact with its indirect support for the sex trade and/or pornography. Oh yeah, and don't forget that rapist in the area who was targeting Asian women. Wait, what? These are all related?
I hate to be the one to say this, but I can't help think these folks are overreacting in this situation, and wrongly defining the history of Japanese geisha. They were dancing and musical entertainers, and nowhere did violence and overt sexuality come to play in their formal occupation. No, geishas aren't prostitutes. Maybe some of them were but hey, it's the oldest job in the world. If anything, they should be focusing their outrage on two Asian American businessmen with a tired and unoriginal idea for a new bar, or at least ask why someone would want to go to a Geisha bar in the heart of Chinatown. Wrong culture, people.
Also, what does the NorCal rapist have to do with this? Did he have a geisha fetish or something and this bar is his one chance to finally hang out in the open? I don't see the connection.
I think the problem here is a question of interpretation: is the criticism of "Geisha" a reaction to the negative connotations of the geisha profession? Or how the term "geisha" is interpreted by American audiences.
As Moye points out, the traditional geisha was not a prostitute. Geisha would be best described as artisans, trained in music and dance and hired by wealthy men to entertain at dinner parties by playing songs, singing, and socializing. Some prostituted themselves, but the profession, as a whole, is oversimplified by the term "prostitute".
But that's looking at geisha from a strictly historical perspective, and not in the context of America's sociopolitical landscape — which is the way most restaurant patrons and passersby will view the restaurant name. Here, the term "geisha" refers to an archetype that fits hand-in-hand with other images of the hypersexualized, demure Asian female "lotus blossom" prevalent in historical and contemporary American media. Asian and Asian American women are — and have been — predominantly depicted in hypersexualized and subjugated roles in American film and literature, and this directly counteracts efforts to empower Asian American women with a positive and healthy image of ourselves and our sexuality. To that end, failing to criticize a local establishment, opening in a heavily Asian American community, that draws upon and glorifies this negative stereotype of Asian women would be irresponsible.
Moreover, while the link between a bar named "geisha" and depression is not direct, dehumanizing stereotypes left unchallenged in mainstream media often lead to conflicted and unhealthy self-image problems. After all, no one questions that our society's predilection for super-skinny images of beauty are contributing factors to high rates of anorexia and bullemia specifically amongst teenaged girls of all races.
That being said, I'm not sure I co-sign the Norcal rapist connection; mainly because I don't think we know the specific motivations for that dude.

'Cuz when I go out to dinner, I'm looking for a little bit of racism with my sushi entree.
The Asian American community is no stranger to offensive Asian-themed restaurants. Here in Tucson, the Asian American community successfully lobbied a local restaurant named "Eggrolls, Etc." to change multiple anti-Asian references in their menu. Last year, this blog was involved in lobbying a restaurant on the East Coast in an effort to raise awareness about advertisements that exotified and objectified the Asian female form.
But, here we go on: a restaurant that has yet to open in the Oakland area is raising more than mere eyebrows. This restaurant will be named "Geisha".
Yes, you read that right: "Geisha".
As an Asian American woman, I am deeply offended by the title of this proposed restaurant, and am even more insulted by the nerve of the restaurant owners to open such a derogatorily-named establishment in the heart of one of the nation's more populous Asian American communities. The last thing that Asian American women and girls need is to be walking down the street and get exposed to yet another example of mainstream exotification and subjugation of our bodies. America's fascination with the geisha image is not for merely due to the rampant sexuality of the stereotype; no, it is an obsession with a distinctly racialized image of an Asian woman as existing purely for pleasure and domination by men. We're not merely talking about simply hypersexualizing the Asian/Asian American woman (as if that weren't bad enough) — we're talking about glorifying the sexual slavery of the Asian/Asian American female body by rendering her nothing more than a meek, demure and ultimately silent sexual plaything. The persistence of the geisha image in the American cultural landscape is a daily affront to strong and empowered Asian American women, and takes the cause of Asian/Asian American feminism several steps backwards.
But, before I go on waxing philosophical, check out this incredible letter by professor of Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley, Dianne Wu. Wu breaks down the argument against "Geisha" poignantly and eloquently in her letter to the Oakland Planning Commission, urging them to deny a permit for "Geisha". You can read the full text at Angry Asian Man, but I'll quote my favourite part regarding microaggressions:
A recent study conducted by Derald Wing Sue et al (2007) from the Teachers College at Columbia university identified 8 major types of microaggressions commonly experienced by Asian Americans. Of the 8, 2 are relevant to the issue at hand today.
First is the exotification of Asian women, where Asian and Asian American women are perceived as being available for sexual favors for men. As Jessica Tan and Jen-Mei Wu's testimonials also concur, these incidents are not isolated to academic books and journals and radical social justice circles, but a salient feature of Asian American women's lives in Oakland, in downtown, in the United States every day. I would hope and expect that the Oakland in which I live, work, love and play would absolutely reject any role in allowing this stereotype to live or become in any way a feature of the physical or psychological landscape of this city.
Second was the widespread denial of Asian Americans racial realities. This included messages being conveyed were that Asians are not an ethnic minority group, experience little or no discrimination, and that their racial concerns are unimportant. In this case, the group's prior attempted exchanges with Perry were met with absolute denial that our concerns about the name of the bar-restaurant-lounge could possibly be reinforcing a racist and sexist stereotype, nor even that geisha itself was a racist and sexist stereotype in the US and Western context.
According to Wing Sue et al, microaggressions are brief, everyday exchanges that send denigrating messages to people of color because they belong to a racial – and this case, racial and sex-based – minority group. These exchanges are so pervasive and automatic in daily interactions that they are often dismissed and glossed over as being innocuous.
Sadly, the Oakland Planning Commission confirmed the perceived innocuousness of these kind of anti-Asian stereotypes by voting in favour of "Geisha". Here are the names of the four commissioners who voted "yes" (kindly collected by spamfriedrice over at Asian Americans for Progress) — Act Now! and write a letter expressing your displeasure at their votes:

In addition, write about how you find the restaurant's name offensive on Yelp, where the restaurant's owners are trying to stir up some good press for their future establishment. And of course, if you live in the Oakland area, boycott the living hell out of the place.

La chiesa del Santissimo Corpo di Cristo, nota anche come chiesa di Villa, si trova sulla piazza principale del borgo di Castiglione Olona, in provincia di Varese. L'intero complesso dichiara una stretta discendenza dai modelli architettonici del Brunelleschi probabilmente dovuta all'intervento di un maestro toscano attivo in Lombardia in quegli anni, forse il Vecchietta, che si stabilì in città come aiutante di Masolino.

Storia
Può essere considerata come il primo edificio di matrice brunelleschiana al di fuori della Toscana non solo per una serie di caratteristiche stilistiche quali l'uso dell'ordine completo e la bicromia tra la pietra delle membrature e l'intonaco, ma anche per l'impiego di tipologie costruttive quali la spina di pesce nella cupola.

Non ci sono documenti sulla sua edificazione, ma questi dati danno per certo la presenza nel cantiere di qualcuno che era stato vicino al Brunelleschi, il quale a leggere Vasari avrebbe anche lavorato per i Visconti di Milano. Di sicuro importanza non secondaria ebbe la preparazione ed il gusto del committente, il cardinale Branda Castiglioni.

Questi, al pari un altre grande umanista suo contemporaneo, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, negli ultimi anni di vita aveva deciso di dedicarsi all'abbellimento e ad una sorta di rifondazione del natio borgo: procedette quindi all'erezione sul colle che lo domina, sopra i resti di una precedente fortificazione, di una collegiata; ampliò il palazzo avito e davanti ad esso diede avvio alla costruzione di quest'ulteriore edificio religioso, in un contesto però più urbano.

Edificio costruito tra il 1437 ed il 1444 sul luogo di un antico oratorio del XIII secolo intitolato al Santo Sepolcro, fu dedicato in origine al Santissimo Corpo di Cristo ed ai Quattro Dottori della Chiesa Occidentale è un esempio di mirabile architettura in stile fiorentino del XV secolo.

Descrizione

Esterno
La chiesa si presenta con un corpo quadrato suddiviso all'esterno da lesene in arenaria scanalate che terminano con capitelli corinzi. Il corpo di fabbrica è poi sormontato da un tamburo ottagonale che regge la cupola semisferica il cui tetto è supportato da sedici colonnine con capitelli.

Il portale maggiore è di forma rettangolare coronato da un timpano triangolare sul quale domina la figura dellEterno Padre fiancheggiato da due angeli. Lo stipite è decorato con fiorami ornamentali nei quali sono inserite immagini di Santi e Angeli, nell'architrave i Quattro Dottori della Chiesa e nel fregio cinque putti reggi festoni.

La facciata è suddivisa in tre parti: in quella centrale vi è il portale precedentemente descritto, nelle parti laterali vi sono due statue della tradizione medioevale attribuite alla scuola milanese di Jacopino da Tradate: San Cristoforo a destra e Sant'Antonio Abate a sinistra.

Interno
L'interno risponde allo schema della Sacrestia Vecchia di San Lorenzo a Firenze per le proporzioni architettoniche e la semplicità dei decori. La pianta quadrata dell'aula è esattamente il doppio dell'abside, chiusa da una volta semisferica auto-portante costruita con il sistema a "spinapesce", leggermente schiacciata nelle sommità. Le pareti sono sottolineate da lesene a libro in pietra arenaria.

Opere d'arte

Nelle pareti laterali sono visibili le statue dei Quattro Dottori della Chiesa Occidentale in terracotta colorata; ai lati dell'abside unAnnunciazione in cui ritroviamo l'Arcangelo Gabriele, singolarmente scolpito senza ali, e la Vergine che tiene tra le mani un libro, tema quello della cultura molto caro alla figura del Cardinale, è la stessa che compare raffigurata in una delle Vergini della Processione di Sant'Orsola nella Cappella di San Martino di Palazzo Branda Castiglioni.

Sulla parete di destra vi è un trittico pittorico raffigurante la Vergine delle Grazie tra i Santi Rocco e Sebastiano , attribuito a Galdino da Varese (XV secolo), mentre su quella opposta il sarcofago di Guido da Castiglione della scuola dell'Amadeo. Nell'abside trova la sua collocazione l'altare della chiesa che racchiude al suo interno un'immagine scolpita del Corpo di Cristo in pietra policroma. Le pareti inferiori dell'abside sono decorate con pitture ornamentali a carattere floreale, mentre la parte superiore presenta la figura di Gesù Cristo che risorge dal sepolcro il tutto databile intorno al XV secolo.

Campanile
A nord-ovest della chiesa s'innalza il campanile di stile lombardo, caratterizzato nella parte terminale dalla cella campanaria aperta in ogni suo lato da quattro finestre a tutto sesto.

Now this theory is definitely the most popular and and what people seem to think the most truthful there is overwhelming evidence to back up this theory that Madeleine McCann was murdered and the abduction story is a cover up. There are many reasons people believe this such as the lack of evidence to prove that she was abducted, there's no definitive evidence that proves Madeleine was kidnapped and that is why people doubt it and some of the parents actions before and after really raise suspicion.It is believed that Madeline was murdered inside her home as Portuguese police used two sniffer dogs and took them to various locations around the area but The two dogs, one trained to detect human blood, the other the smell of dead bodies, were taken to numerous locations, but only gave alerts inside the McCanns' holiday apartment. The cadaver dog later gave another alert signal while inside the Renault Scenic hire car that the McCanns had rented 24 days after their daughter went missing. Madeleines DNA was found in the boot of their rented car. Also it is believed by many people that the McCanns disposed of her body which is backed up by this Irish family's statement who were staying near the irish couple was confirmed to have seen a man carrying a 3–4 years old girl with blonde hair near the beach at Rue da Escola Primaria. at around 10pm. Electronic Facial Identification Technique was used from the smiths descriptions and the result was very similar to Mr. McCann's face. Another reason why the public believed the parents were involved in was their lack of cooperation in the investigation When Portuguese police decided to archive the investigation due to the lack of cooperation of the McCanns and their holiday friends, they had the opportunity to appeal against the decision>


So growing up my parents always taught me to save money in the most creative ways they could find. And I really love them for it, because I`ve grown up into a responsible person and a person who knows how to handle their money, which is a really important skill in everyone's life. So I decided that this post should be all about new and creative ways to save money, and also if you have tons of mason jars just lying around this might be your lucky day (wink emoji).
I have compiled 20 DIY Piggy Bank for kids Using Mason Jars and the best part is that you will most definitely have fun making these piggy banks, while finally finding a way to repurpose those mason jars you have. Also, this article is important for other reason, and that is it will be a big part in your kid's way of learning how to save money and making it a great part of their life. So pull up a comfy chair pick the piggy bank you think your kids will love the most and get to it.

Mention the name Donald Ross to an educated golfer and it will surely bring good thoughts to mind. That is because Ross, in the words of Jack Nicklaus, designed golf courses that led to positive thinking. "His stamp as an architect was naturalness," Nicklaus said. He was, and still is, considered the Michelangelo of golf.
The Ross name is on some of this nation's most memorable, and playable, courses. His most famous designs are Pinehurst No. 2, Seminole, Oak Hill and Oakland Hills, but Ross was a man of both quality and quantity. He is credited with 600 designs and redesigns, although some were during his "mail order" era when the demand for his work was so high that he would route courses for property he never saw. Ross would take the topographical maps brought to him, lay out a course on the top, and the club's greenkeeper or engineer would oversee the construction. Ross did oversee work on a good percentage of the courses which bear his name.
Ross was born in Dornoch, Scotland, educated in golf at St. Andrews under Old Tom Morris and brought to this country in 1899 by a Harvard professor, Robert Wilson. Investing his entire life's savings into the trip to America, Ross walked off the boat in Boston with only $2 in his pocket, but a job was waiting for him, thanks to Wilson, at Oakley Country Club in Watertown, Mass.
The following summer he was brought to North Carolina by James Tufts, the man who founded Pinehurst, as the club's professional. Although he had no experience as a golf course architect, Ross was commissioned by Tufts to design Pinehurst's first four courses and his career skyrocketed to the point where he became one of golf's cult heroes.
Alternating between Boston in the summer and Pinehurst during the winter, Ross won three North and South Opens, two Massachusetts Opens and finished fifth in the 1903 U.S. Open as well as eighth in the 1910 British Open. It was a notable record, but Ross' younger brother, Alex, was the best player in the family, winning the U.S. Open in 1907 in addition to five North and South Opens and six Massachusetts Open titles.
Ross eventually gave up playing and teaching to concentrate on golf course design.
Donald Ross was also a quality player, finishing fifth in the 1903 U.S. Open.
Borrowing from what he learned growing up on the links of Dornoch, Ross made the crowned green his trademark. He was a detail man who took great patience to make sure every slope and break met his approval. All his bunkers looked like they hadn't been built at all, but had been made by the hands of nature. There is a seamless, timeless quality to Donald Ross golf courses that required very little earth-moving to construct.
Pinehurst No. 2 is a perfect example. Water comes into sight on only one hole, and it is not in play. The course is not particularly long, there is little rough, it is almost impossible to lose a golf ball, yet any golfer who goes around close to his or her handicap will have had a good day.
Ross spent more time tweaking this layout than any other of his designs, if not for any other reason than Bob Jones selected Alister Mackenzie over him to design Augusta National. He wanted to make No. 2 the No. 1 course in the South, and there are those who believe that Ross succeeded. Having already played host to a PGA Championship, a Ryder Cup and two Tour Championships, Pinehurst No. 2, Ross' masterpiece, returned to glory as the site of the U.S. Open in 1999 and is slated to host the 2005 U.S. Open.


Radon is a naturally occurring gas that is produced by the decay of uranium in rock and soil. It becomes a health hazard when it is trapped below and around the foundation of a building and enters the structure though openings in the slab or basement walls.
In most cases, the best approach to radon mitigation is a form of depressurization. This radon mitigation strategy involves creating a negative pressure field below the building foundation to draw gas from the underlying soil and exhaust it safely above the roofline. The objective is to design a well-sealed system with an extensive negative pressure field using a fan as suction. Construction characteristics of the building direct how this can best be achieved. Mitigation professionals will consider the type of foundation, the size of the house, the radon level, the existence of structural additions, and drainage systems among other things in prescribing the best mitigation plan for a home.
The technician will inspect the basement area for any openings that may impact the effectiveness of the system. Openings and cracks in the foundation will need to be closed or sealed. Open sump pumps or floor drains can impact the effectiveness of the radon mitigation system and can also serve as significant entryways for radon. Sump pits will be sealed and floor drains may need a one-way valve installed to improve system function.
When installing a sub-slab depressurization system, a radon collection chamber must be created below the slab. The technician will determine the best placement for the system, then drill a hole through the slab to accept the radon collection piping. Approximately ten gallons of soil will be removed to establish the collection pit.
A four-inch radon collection pipe will be fitted and sealed into the slab opening. The piping will then be routed to the exterior of the house just above grade. A radon fan will be mounted to the system with the discharge stack continuing up along the side of the house and extending above the roofline. A system disconnect will then be wired to an existing available circuit with a waterproof conduit.
In some cases, a single suction point is inadequate to extend negative pressure below the entire foundation. This may occur in areas of tight or compacted soil. Interior footers for home additions and other construction elements may also impede the effectiveness of the system. In these situations, an additional suction chamber is required. Additional chambers are located where they can best extend the collection field. These chambers are tied into the original discharge pipe and are driven by the same fan. This configuration is recommended when radon levels are high, or when a technician determines that a single suction system will be inadequate to mitigate, due to soil or construction characteristics of the house.
Many new homes are being constructed to be "radon resistant" with passive radon systems built in. These systems involve a single straight pipe running from a radon collection chamber below the foundation, through all floors and exhausting through the roof. Passive radon systems are installed during initial construction. These interior systems work on a "chimney effect" where rising warm air draws radon from below the foundation up and out of the house.
These systems are often inadequate to move the amount of radon collecting below the foundation. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT HOMES WITH PASSIVE SYSTEMS BE TESTED FOR RADON.
When a passive system fails to keep radon levels below 4.0 pCi/L, the system should be activated. System activation involves an inspection of the radon collection chamber and assuring that the exhaust pipe has penetrated the roof. The technician then mounts a radon mitigation fan to the existing discharge piping in the attic of the home. The fan will be wired to an existing electrical circuit located in the attic.
In some situations, activating the system is still insufficient to remove all the accumulated radon from below the foundation. If this occurs, an additional collection site will be recommended to extend the collection field. The second suction point is tapped into the original system and driven by the same attic mounted fan.
A garage attic installation provides a "hidden option" for a radon mitigation system. This option can be considered for homes with an attached garage with unconditioned attic space. A standard sub-slab depressurization system is installed in the basement of the house. The vent piping penetrates into the ground level of the garage and then runs up into the garage attic and penetrates the roof. The radon mitigation fan is mounted to the system in the garage attic space. The fan will be wired to an existing electrical circuit located in the attic.
This type of installation applies to homes that are built on a slab on grade (have no basement foundation). An interior or an exterior approach can be taken to this installation strategy.
An interior installation can be used in a single story slab foundation home. The technician will look for a suction chamber location within the home in a utility room or closet. The suction chamber is created by drilling an opening in the slab and digging out a radon collection pit. In a single story home, the vent piping can be run straight up into the attic area and vented through the roof. The radon mitigation fan is mounted to the system in the attic and wired to an existing electrical circuit near the fan location.
A second suction chamber can be added in the case of a single story home. An additional suction pit would be created with the vent pipe also extending into the attic. The two suction locations would be connected via piping in the attic and are driven by a single radon mitigation fan.
In a multilevel home slab foundation home, a collection chamber would be created inside in a utility room or closet with an exterior wall. The vent pipe would exit the home through a wall penetration and the fan would be mounted outside the house with the discharge stack extending up the side of the building, safely above the roofline. The fan will be wired with a system disconnect switch to an existing available circuit.
In some instances, there is no acceptable interior location to create a radon collection chamber. In these situations, the technician will gain access below the slab by excavation and penetrating the foundation footer. Soil must be removed from beneath the slab to create the radon collection pit. The radon vent pipe will be inserted into the pit and sealed. The pipe will then be directed up along the side of the house to above the roofline. The radon mitigation fan will be mounted to the system just above grade and wired to an existing available circuit.
A crawlspace with exposed dirt or gravel can be a significant contributor to radon in a home. The crawlspace must be addressed to ensure successful mitigation. In homes with small crawlspaces, sealing the crawl with a vapor barrier is combined with the installation of a sub-slab depressurization system. However, if the majority of the house is over a crawl, then a depressurization system needs to be installed in the crawl area with the vapor barrier. The sealed space serves as the radon collection chamber.
Radon collection piping is installed in the crawlspace and covered by the vapor barrier. The barrier is sealed at the foundation walls, around the radon pipe penetration, and around any other vertical pipes or supports. The radon vent pipe exits the crawl to the exterior of the house and is directed up along the side of the house extending above the roofline. The radon fan is mounted to the system just above grade and is wired with a disconnect switch to an existing available circuit.


2011 CPT 93459 and 93461 help please!
I want to make sure I understand these new codes correctly. Would 93459 be charged if the physician performs aLHC crossing aortic valve to LV then injecting vein graft or LIMA for diagnostic purposes only? The code descriptor states "with bypass graft angiography" so that's leading me to believe an actual Bypass graft procedure must be performed not just an inj of the bypass graft or vein grafts. I am correct?
Same scenario for 93461 except a combined right and left heart cath was performed.
Thanks so much in advance!!!
The 93459 is reporting what would've been coded as 93510-26, 93543, 93555-26, 93545, 93556-26, 93540 and/or 93539 in 2010.
The 93461 is reporting what would've been coded same as above except 93526-26 instead of 93510-26 in 2010.
Great! That's what I was thinking. Some days I think I got a handle on this and others I nothing seems to click.


Here's looking forward to meeting you.

The amazing collaborative food community of Ontario is coming together to hold a 2 day Urban Agriculture Summit on August 15-18, 2012. Will Allen is their keynote and if you haven't heard him or had the chance to meet and experience his enthusiastic presence and take in some of his knowledge, this is a great opportunity to do it. Having just traveled up there, I know what I'll be missing! I wish I could find a way to get back for this and learn more and share more about food systems. If you can make it, do so. You'll thank me later.

The remuneration and the other terms of employment of the Executives shall be competitive so that the Volvo Group can attract and retain competent Executives. The total remuneration to Executives consists of fixed salary, short-term and long-term incentives, pension and other benefits.
Short-term and long-term incentives shall be linked to predetermined and measurable criteria relating to EBIT and cash flow targets for the Volvo Group, devised to promote the long-term value creation of the
Volvo Group and strengthen the link between achieved performance targets and reward. The criteria for short-term and long-term incentives shall be determined by the Board annually.
Short-term incentive may, as regards the President and CEO, amount to a maximum of 100 % of the fixed salary and, as regards other Executives, a maximum of 80 % of the fixed salary.
Long-term incentive may, as regards the President and CEO, amount to a maximum of 100 % of the fixed salary and, as regards other Executives, a maximum of 80 % of the fixed salary. The long-term incentive program for the Group's top executives, including the Executives, is cash-based.
Awards under the program, based on how well the performance targets are achieved, are disbursed in cash to the participants on the condition that they invest the net award in AB Volvo shares and that they retain the shares for at least three years.

For Executives resident in Sweden, the notice period upon termination by the Company shall not exceed 12 months and the notice period upon termination by the Executive shall not exceed 6 months. In addition, in the event of termination by the Company, the Executive may be entitled to a maximum of 12 months' severance pay.
Executives resident outside Sweden or resident in Sweden but having a material connection to or having been resident in a country other than Sweden may be offered notice periods for termination and severance payment that are competitive in the country where the Executives are or have been resident or to which the Executives have a material connection, preferably solutions comparable to the solutions applied to Executives resident in Sweden.

Prior to relaunching Flawless, Union learned of the disparities in the food space and joined Bitsy's as a cofounder with the goal of making healthy, allergen- friendly, school-safe snacks that are accessible and affordable for all families regardless of their socioeconomic or geographical status. Her first book, We're Going To Need More Wine: Stories That Are Funny, Complicated and True, was released in 2017 and instantly became a New York Times best seller.

"Laid out in rollicking rhyme, the text sets a pace as energetic as its protagonist, keeping the pages turning and the rhythm bouncing for storytime read-alouds and independent readers alike. Serving looks and a little bit of shade with every reread."

With so many fabrics to choose from (this is only a selection of one of the walls), I somehow narrowed it down to these 3, some Cotton & Steel and Amy Butler.
I think a lot of people get scared by the 4 zips in this bag. Don't be as they are really quite easy. I had the pleasure of being taught by Kay from Shocking Hocking and loved her tip to use the walking foot to make this bag (including zips). No need to change machine feet and you really to need it when you start sewing through numerous layers.
We had to speed things up a bit as the bag does take a little while to put together, although I think we all walked out with just the binding to hand stitch which was a pretty good effort. I used my new green binding clips to hold the binding in place while I added the tabs to the ends of the main zip.
After a little bit of hand stitching my Sew Together Bag was completed. A great bag pattern, fantastic workshop and a funky new clutch for me. I'd say the day was a success, thanks Emma and Kay for a great day.

Two twins, passing themselves off as a lawyer and a prosecutor, start their insurance business.
A manager - an ironic idealist and cynic, a barmaid - felt down daydreamer - are the first who insure themselves'. A kind of theological, surrealistic, symbolic, politic and cabalistic parabolic love story.
1. The Alpha and the Omega – a short film about everything.
The film is of an experimental plot's character. Autonomized scenes and themes – as self-contained wholes are interlinking through characters and their ideas. There is no classic story, and the narrative is basically of metaphorical and symbolic character.
2. Metaphor and and realism.
Social themes, often current, play a supporting role. They place the events in the certain reality, time – they are the metaphor's anchor. Basically, it is the film about an inner life.
Every film has its rhythm that creates its atmosphere. The movie has various tempos since life has its various tempos. Once in a while time flies unrelentingly slow; sometimes it passes before we know. Time flies differently for those in love, differently for a long term-marriage. And, first of all, this is the film about time. About a change. And about lasting, dreaming about curbing this life's dimension. The construction of the film also assumes the certain celebration, ritual – the same way a mass is said. A ritual, celebration has, as I believe, two functions. Firstly, it enables to displaying in a symbol the certain ideas, which cannot be directly manifested in the imperfect world; therefore, a celebration is a constant relating to eternal love, God, and even to a perfectly efficient activity. Secondly – a ritual should throw us to "fixation", it should help us to forget about an ego.
The metaphor concerns, most of all, an issue of lasting and passing, a change. We long for permanence, keeping what is present at the moment (a moment - last forever!); we are afraid of change; simultaneously, we reject standing still in numbness, disappearance of automatisms (passions), repeatability, boredom.
An idea must face a reality; when the real world stops, a dream (illusion) materializes with the power of the dream itself. When time stops, the idea is eternal. Nevertheless, a motion – is a life. Motionlessness – means death. If a dream can have a motive power, there must be a choice accompanying it. A faith that something unknown happen can make us confide in the unknown. Insurance always concerns a future and uncertain event. Hope for eternal love consists in faith and choice.
Creating a world of film can be similar to celebrating a religion without faith. In our life, we do not need faith in doctrines but constant entrusting, in spite of an intellect and experience, in the power of every day's choices that enables a dream to be reborn. What we need is a confidence in the power of shaping the world and developing a soul, implementing para-religious forms by a down-to-earth mind in a way that we eventually create God – our basic dream of the eternal love.

We now use Queensberry albums exclusively for all our wedding clients. We tell them they're the best in the world. And we believe that.
When an album arrives at our studio from Queensberry, all the way over in New Zealand, we know when we open the box that we're gonna love what's inside. And we know that when clients take them away to share with family and friends that it's going to be something they're proud to show off.
This week has been our busiest ever with album orders as we worked to meet the deadline to guarantee albums for Christmas.
Here's a video that shows why Queensberry albums are all one of a kind. The music is by one of my faves too, Amy Seeley.
My Father makes saddles and bridlework for 'osses. There's a number of leatherworking techniques and tools that I recognise myself in that video. It's art IMHO.

Genesis: The Forbidden Fruit
This lesson is a part of an audio course Why Read Genesis by Robert Garland
As we saw last time, the man and his wife were naked and not ashamed. And then at the beginning of Chapter 3 along comes a serpent, and nothing will be the same ever again. The serpent begins, "Though God says you can't eat from any tree." But the woman cuts him off in mid-sentence as if she knows what he's about to say, and comments, "The only tree we can't eat from is the tree in the center of the garden, because if we so much as touch it we'll die." That's a slight exaggeration. God didn't say they couldn't touch it. He said they couldn't eat it.
"Not so," the serpent replies. You won't die. God doesn't want you to eat from it because He knows that if you do, your eyes will be opened and you'll become "as gods" or "like God", knowing the difference between good and evil.
So the woman looks at the fruit of the tree, lusts after it – that's Alter's word – it suggests she is powerfully and sensuously drawn to the fruit – she perhaps takes into account the fact that it will make her wise, eats it, and then gives it to her husband, who eats it as well.
This raises a lot of questions? Number one: who is this serpent? All J, the author of this story, says is that "The serpent was more cunning or shrewd than any other beast of the field which the Lord God had made." So the serpent is one of God's creatures. No question. But given the subsequent action of the serpent, it's pretty clear that the serpent is evil, which seems to suggest that God created evil or at the very least created a world in which evil was possible. Evil thus existed in the Garden of Eden.
Next question: What is the serpent's motivation? Does it act out of a sense of resentment towards the humans? Or out of resentment towards God? Is the serpent merely mischievous? Does he/she have some deep design to thwart God? It's tempting – forgive my choice of word – if one were a Christian to identify the serpent with Satan, but that cannot be justified from a Jewish perspective and this is a Jewish work.
And the Next question: why does the serpent tempt the woman rather than the man? Is it because women are "inherently" the weaker sex? Or is it because they are more attuned, so to speak, to the natural world. And how come that the serpent can speak anyway?
Final and most perplexing question: Did God know that the serpent was going to tempt Eve? It seems not. It seems he's unprepared. So many questions. In the final analysis we can only speculate as to why God created a creature bent on opposing his will.
The consequence of eating of the fruit is that their eyes were opened, they knew they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths out of fig leaves.
If we're to take the serpent's judgement to be correct, namely that the fruit will enable them to distinguish good from evil, this initially consists in the realisation that they were naked. I'll come back to that in a moment. What I want to emphasise first is that through a prohibited act the man and woman learn – potentially – how to be moral beings. In other words, humans now move from being "in the image of God" to being "like God" by acquiring moral awareness.
The big question in my mind is: is that a step backwards or a step forward? On one level, clearly, this is the moment when evil first entered the world and it's downhill all the way from now on. But it's at least worth considering in viewing the episode in another way, which is that it provides an explanation of how humans evolve from infancy to adulthood. As infants, we are unaware of the fact that we are naked, and only when we become aware of our nakedness and are ashamed, do we take the first step towards our psychological as well as moral growth. Without taking that step we would be condemned to remaining infants for the rest of our lives. We'd be stunted. And that's what the man and the woman are too before they eat the fruit – they're infants. It's only when your child says no, I won't do that, that she or he begins to individuate. Each of us needs to rebel against our parents in order to grow. Disobedience is the key to growth. That's a fact of life.
This is certainly not my brilliant interpretation. It's one that many scholars have suggested. We can't assume that J intended us to interpret the narrative in this way, namely as a subversive reflection upon man's relationship with God. But this interpretation does seem to raise the question as to whether it would have been preferable for humans to remain in the garden of Eden for all eternity. What would the human story be like then? There would, of course, be no human story.
Then there's the role of the woman. What are we to make of it? Obviously one interpretation is that this is a sexist story that shifts the responsibility for the expulsion from the garden squarely onto her shoulders. But let's take note of what happens next. The Lord God is walking in the garden in the evening breeze or the breezy time of day – a lovely detail – and the human and his wife have hidden themselves from Him. "And the Lord God calls to the human and says where are you?" The human replies, "I was afraid because I'm naked." Why is he afraid? Because he feels guilty? Or simply because he's naked? "Who told you that you were naked?" the Lord God asks. "Have you eaten of the fruit of the forbidden tree?
"The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree and I ate," the man replies. What a wimpish reply. He's taking no responsibility. It's not only the woman's fault but it's also God's fault. God gave the woman to him and the woman gave him the fruit. The man is blameless, that's what he is claiming. I believe that J is making both of them equally at fault. That said, there's no denying the fact that many people have used this passage to hold women responsible for the sin that is in the world and to see them as temptresses.
The story of Adam and Eve yielding to temptation has had immense influence on Christianity. According to Christian belief it's the cause of why we are all born sinful – the doctrine of Original Sin. The doctrine was first advanced by Saint Augustine in the late fourth/early fifth century CE, and became formalised in the 16th century at the Council of Trent. Even a newborn baby is tainted with Original Sin.
In the next lesson we'll discuss what happens as a result of the man and the woman breaking God's law.

On this episode of the Wealth and Standard Patrick Donohoe and Ryan Lee sit down to discuss how, no one really has control over the market. Money in the market is not a good or bad thing, it all depends on your education on the market. They talk about how most people that are in the market are only trained to make money and do not have a high level of financial education. They also discuss the current events that have happened with China's market and how fragile the market is. You don't want to miss this episode.


MCI is a beacon in the community for hope. Its a safe haven for the young and old, whether it be mentoring or job security. MCI is greatness in action.
The best part of the work is the work that we do day in and day in the community. Watching the children light up when they get congradulated on an accomplishment no matter how big or small. The best part is knowning that each day im awarded the opportunity to impact a childs life.
My most memorable experience was the gift giveaway at Key Biscayne. The parents and children were so greatful and happy to receive a gift. MCI's giving to those in need and teaching our youth the importance giving back.
MCI has impacted my life by allowing me the chance to be on the ground in the community to see my hard work payoff in the community. Anyone can send a check and sponsor a child or family, its more fulfilling to be there during the struggle and see the child and community over come.

Saturday will be a cool, dry day. Temperatures will plummet into the mid 30s by sunrise Sunday, and some patchy frost is likely. Clouds slowly increase through Sunday, and a few showers are possible late in the day. The coverage and intensity of the rain will ramp up Sunday night and into Monday. The European and GFS computer model guidance both point at the possibility of some heavy rainfall and isolated flooding problems in south Alabama.
The rain will linger into Tuesday, then frigid air will sweep into the state. Temperatures drop below freezing on more than one night next week, and there will be a couple of days where afternoon temperatures struggle to reach 50 degrees. Get ready, Winter is coming.
For reference, the "normal" high this time of year is around 70 degrees. Safe to say, we'll be colder than normal for several days!
