Entering the weekend hitting .383, Brady Cox is evolving into a polished hitter. |
The Fort Worth Arlington Heights standout made a smooth transition defensively from third to catcher last season, and with a solid foundation calling games, he’s starting to find his hitting stroke. |
After hitting just .274 without much power last season, he’s driving the ball in the fifth spot in the order. His 12 RBIs are second-most on the team, and he’s recorded hits in all but two games he’s started this season. |
HONOLULU – Just four short days ago Justin Thomas was on top of the golf world after winning the SBS Tournament of Champions. Apparently, he likes the view from there. |
Encores in golf aren’t easy. Especially so soon after a grand performance. But Thomas, another talented member of that high school graduation class of 2011, found a way to remain the headliner at the Sony Open in Hawaii. All it took was a course-record 11-under par 59 at Waialae CC, the eighth sub-60 score in PGA Tour ... |
He finished all the holes at Waialae – and quickly, too. |
It was no surprise then that when the eagle putt dropped, Thomas allowed himself a small fist pump, but Spieth and Berger could barely contain their exuberance. They were jumping and high-fiving. Spieth hugged him. |
“The coolest part for me was how excited they were for me on 18," Thomas said. "To do that with two of your best friends out here and two of your friends that you played with for so long … I’ll have that on them for now. |
He’s been going nuts for a good stretch now. Thomas is 33 under par combined in his last five rounds and Thursday’s effort was his 51st round of 65 or better since the start of 2014, the most on tour. He has finished in the top-10 in his previous four starts with wins in Kapalua and at the CIMB Classic in Malaysia. |
Thomas, who fired a 61 in the second round at Waialae two years ago, turned in six-under 29 despite a bogey on the par-4 11th, his second hole of the day. It was his only blemish. He first mulled the possibilities in front of him while holding an 8-iron in his hands for his second shot into the green at the par-5 18th,... |
He moved one step closer with a 7-iron to three feet at the par-3 fourth. Then he stalled, although he kept giving himself chances. A 10-foot par save at the eighth kept him in the ballgame. It was a tough read and he asked caddie Jimmy Johnston for another assessment. He then rolled it straight in. |
Then came perhaps the shot of the day, a 5-iron from 204 yards out of the left fairway bunker at the ninth. It rolled up to 15 feet and Thomas calmly guided the left-to-right breaker in the cup. |
“It's history. It's awesome. It's really cool,” said Spieth, who admitted being nervous for his friend down the stretch and yet managed to carve out a 65, same as Berger. “To be able to watch it today, from our first hole, he chipped in about a 30-yard shot for eagle. I mean, he deserved it. His two best putts of the d... |
About 90 minutes after Thomas’ last putt trundled in, the practice putting green at Waialae CC was still buzzing. Spieth was describing the round to another of the young brigade, Smylie Kaufman. Jimmy Johnston, Thomas’ caddie, was being grilled by several players and caddies. In 2010, Johnston caddied for Steve Stricke... |
“We shot 60 in the afternoon, came back in the morning and shot 66, and there was Goydos after his 59, and he was five behind us,” Johnston said, laughing. |
His phone buzzed. It was Stricker texting him. “Bet that was fun,” wrote the 12-time tour winner. |
But this day he will enjoy for a long time. His hard-fought victory over Hideki Matsuyama last week was highly satisfying. But to etch your name in the history books with one magical round has a certain cache and sparkle to it. |
Thomas keeps a ball from each of his victories going back to his junior golf days. He estimates owning more than 100, and looked forward to adding to the wall with his victory at the SBS Tournament of Championship. But after he signed his scorecard Thursday, he had his picture taken with his new favorite golf ball, the... |

A military jury has acquitted an Army sergeant of premeditated murder in the shooting death of an unarmed Iraqi insurgent. |
The family of Sgt. Leonardo Trevino gasped, clapped and sobbed as the verdict was read Thursday. |
The 31-year-old from San Antonio also was cleared on charges of attempted murder, solicitation to commit murder and three counts of obstruction of justice. |
Military prosecutors said in closing arguments that the killing last summer in Iraq was unjustified because the insurgent was severely wounded from a gun battle and posed no threat. |
Trevino's attorneys say he followed the rules of engagement because he thought the Al-Qaeda insurgent was reaching for a gun. |
Qualcomm has changed the job profile of Chief Marketing Officer Anand Chandrasekher to focus on the emerging area of enterprises, which analysts said points to the company likely developing ARM server chips. |
Chandrasekher, who previously oversaw global marketing at Qualcomm, is “moving to a new role leading our exploration of certain enterprise related initiatives,” a Qualcomm spokeswoman wrote in a brief email. |
“With Anand’s experience in running enterprise businesses, he is well suited for this new role,” the spokeswoman wrote. Chandrasekher will retain his title and continue to report to Steve Mollenkopf, chief operating officer and president of Qualcomm. |
The job change comes in the wake of Chandrasekher’s controversial comments in which he referred to Apple’s A7 chip as a “marketing gimmick” in an interview with the IDG News Service on Oct. 1. A week later, Qualcomm issued a statement saying Chandrasekher’s comments were inaccurate, and that 64-bit was important for co... |
Chandrasekher’s name has been removed from the company’s leadership web page. Qualcomm did not provide further comment on his new duties. |
Chip based on ARM processor designs? |
An enterprise focus means that Qualcomm could be looking at developing a chip based around ARM processor designs, said Dean McCarron, principal analyst at Mercury Research. |
Qualcomm’s chip focus is largely centered on mobile devices, and the company is developing a 64-bit chip based on the ARM architecture. Qualcomm has said it is constantly looking at opportunities in other markets but hasn’t said if it is developing a server chip. |
ARM processors are used in most smartphones and tablets, and are viewed as a low-power alternative to widely used x86 chips. Some believe that ARM servers could help cut electric bills by being more power-efficient at processing Web applications. Companies including Advanced Micro Devices, Calxeda and AppliedMicro are ... |
Qualcomm is a consumer brand, and putting a high-level guy in to chase the enterprise market sends a strong message about the company’s intentions to chase the enterprise market, said Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst at Insight 64. |
Chandrasekher, a former Intel employee, has a strong enterprise computing background, Brookwood said. |
At Intel, Chandrasekher was responsible for pushing the highly successful Centrino chip platform, which was initially for the enterprise market and then trickled into consumer laptops. |
Some analysts said that the comments could not have pleased Qualcomm, though there’s no smoking gun that was responsible for a change in duties. Analysts also said that Qualcomm may have hired Chandrasekher in 2012 to ultimately take on an enterprise role, so it’s also possible that the change strangely coincided with ... |
The government will send teams of inspectors to airports abroad to screen visitors coming to the United States by plane, the customs commissioner said Wednesday. |
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Robert Bonner, speaking at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, said the agency would begin testing an immigration security initiative within the month at Poland's Warsaw International Airport. A team of up to seven specially trained inspectors will be placed there. The pr... |
"In essence, the immigration security initiative seeks to put much of what we do at the U.S. ports of entry out to the foreign airports on the theory that if a potential terrorist is seeking to enter the United States, it's far better to catch that person before they board a commercial airliner with passengers on it he... |
The agency will assess the initiative in six months and hopes to expand it to other airports, Bonner said. He said other countries and airports are voluntarily cooperating, and Warsaw International was the first to ask to participate. Another location under consideration is Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. |
A similar effort was started by the legacy Immigrations and Naturalization Service, but got lost in the reorganization shuffle when INS merged with the Homeland Security Department. |
"In the transition of the Department of Homeland Security and the breakup of the INS, essentially these programs were allowed to atrophy," Bonner said. "What we're trying to do is to revamp the old INS program, but give it a homeland security focus." |
Other countries such as Canada, Britain and Australia use inspectors at foreign airports, according to Bonner, who says he anticipates that countries and airlines will appreciate the addition of U.S. inspectors to help identify security risks and immigration violators. |
"We're hopeful that other countries will be receptive to it because it adds to the overall security and it's in the economic self-interest and benefit of the airlines that are flying to the United States," he said. "We're certainly looking at a whole range of potential foreign airports where it could be placed. The rea... |
According to Bonner, border and customs agents were not trained or focused on counterterrorism before the attacks of Sept. 11. Indeed, the 19 hijackers entered the country 33 times before 9/11. Several were stopped by border inspectors at different times and referred for secondary screening but were still allowed into ... |
"We had them literally in our hands and we let them go," Bonner said. "We weren't looking for terrorists. We were looking for aliens who might overstay their visas and who might attempt to stay in the United States illegally. Customs was looking for individuals who might be smuggling illegal drugs. Before 9/11, neither... |
Today, border inspectors are better trained and ready, Bonner contends. "Nearly every day," he said, "we're refusing entry to someone that we believe may well be associated with terrorism." |
Drivers have been warned that the A1 in Cambridgeshire will be closed in both directions - while a bridge is demolished. |
As part of the A14 upgrade, a new bridge has had to be built near Brampton, and it opened this week. |
But it means the old bridge that spanned the road will now have to be taken down, and the work is scheduled for this coming weekend (Saturday February 17 and Sunday February 18). |
A spokeswoman for Highways England said: "The Brampton Road bridge in Grafham, which links Brampton and Grafham and spans the current two-lane A1 dual carriageway, has just been upgraded to a newer, longer model. |
"The new bridge, which is 50 metres longer than the old one and will need to span both the new, widened A1 and future A14 – totalling 10 lanes of carriageway at this location, was officially opened on Monday (February 15) by Brampton Parish Council chairman Cllr Simon Jordan and his family. |
"The project team invited residents from Brampton and Grafham to cross the bridge – the second to be opened on the scheme – for the first time in a variety of vehicles including electric and vintage cars, motorcycles and bicycles." |
Mike Evans, Highways England senior stakeholder manager for the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon scheme, said: "Now that the new bridge is opened we can get on with demolishing the old bridge and continue building the new A1 and A14 carriageways at this location. |
"The old Brampton Road bridge will be demolished this weekend by excavators positioned on the protected A1 carriageway beneath it, which will break it down mechanically. All the concrete recovered from the old bridge will be crushed and reused on the project. |
"To carry out this work safely, the A1 and Brampton Road will need to be closed between Saturday February 17 and Sunday February 18." |
When exactly will it be closed? |
The A1 will be shut both northbound and southbound between Buckden and Bramptpon Hut from 8pm on Saturday until 3pm the following day. |
Brampton Road itself will also be shut during the same times. |
How can I avoid it? |
During the closures, signed diversions will be in place. Drivers travelling along the northbound A1 will be diverted via the A428, A1198 and A14, while drivers heading south will use the same diversion in reverse. |
A set of temporary traffic lights will manage traffic on the new Brampton Road bridge. |
To check how the operation is going, go online to the Highways England website or keep in touch on Twitter. |
CIOs are facing ever-increasing challenges as IT begins to take centre stage in virtually every modern business. With a recent study finding digital has the potential to add between $140 and $250 billion to Australia’s GDP by 2025, businesses that wish to remain competitive must look beyond digital strategy and work at... |
However, new hardware and software are only ever going to be one element to this goal. In a time when differentiation is key, business leaders are going to have to blend some old-school thinking with new approaches to maintain relevance in a new world order. |
Previously, companies had a clear roadmap, unencumbered by the ever-changing technology landscape faced by businesses today. As such, the same cardinal rules previously followed by businesses of defining success at the outset should still apply. Quite simply, there’s no way to know if a business is succeeding unless me... |
It’s this seemingly old-school thinking that will ensure a company is not just digital for digital’s sake, but instead has a new toolkit comprised of collaboration, technology, people and culture, working to make digital in their organisation both ubiquitous and effective. |
CIOs need to stop seeing themselves as technology managers and move towards becoming business leaders. A recent Gartner report found that this perception shift is widespread in the industry: some 95 per cent of surveyed CIOs said they expect their jobs to change as a result of the digitisation of their business. Settin... |
Businesses invest in digital transformation to create wider business success and value. But digital transformation can’t be considered a success until clear KPIs are set. Businesses are past the stage where monetary investment in technology automatically equals digital transformation. The list of KPIs needn’t be exhaus... |
Digitally-focused KPIs such as process efficiencies are important because they deliberately avoid measuring success against statistics such as clicks or electronic payments. As these measures are merely a means to an end, measurement against key benchmarks provides a more demonstrative indicator of how technological in... |
Technological investments themselves are also changing at a fast clip. As Artificial Intelligence and robotic process automation become more mainstream, the future of employability of existing workers comes into question. In order to address this imbalance, companies should invest equal amounts in digital transformatio... |
Considering Australia’s ageing population, CIOs need to react accordingly and work to engage employees and talent from across four generations, from baby boomers to Millennials. Many established companies still use outdated mainframes, and are seeking to retain the services of older workers, whilst at the same time att... |
Therefore, maintaining people skills should be of the utmost importance for business leaders, particularly as an attitude of fearmongering about automation taking over peoples’ jobs permeates everyday discussion. |
Talent management must keep up with the pace of change, and business leaders need to ensure they reprioritise talent as a core component of digital strategy. Businesses need to consider new ways of reaching out to talent such as encouraging university internships, crowdsourcing and considering customers, citizens, vend... |
Only by combining old-school thinking that focuses less on shiny new technologies and more on the critical factors of defining success upfront and an investment in talent, can CIOs deliver a holistic digital transformation strategy. All digital strategy must deliver on company-wide objectives and ensure the business’s ... |
