The Abbotsford Hospice Society's (AHS) recent Charity Golf Tournament raised a record $75,000.

The funds for the event held July 15 at the Falls Golf Club in Chilliwack were raised through registrations, sponsors and activities, but a record-breaking $25,000 came from the live auction.

The tournament was presented by Mainland Sand and Gravel.

Another $75,000 was donated in on-kind support, including $20,000 in food and beverage donations ? from Coast Seafoods, Commerce for Cause, BC Fresh Vegetables and Gelderman Farms ? and $8,700 in rentals from Salmon's Rentals.

Funds from the event will go toward AHS, with a portion earmarked for Holmberg House, an adult hospice under construction at the Campus of Care project next to Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

AHS provides support to people who are dying and to their families.

"Because of the generosity and efforts of our golfers, sponsors, donors and volunteers, AHS continues to make an immediate and tangible difference in our community when families need it most," said executive director Debbie Lehmann.

The 19-bed Holmberg House is named in memory of Dave Holmberg Jr. His dad, Dave Holmberg Sr., raved about the event.

" ? excellent financial results and wonderful support from the many sponsors, donors, players, and volunteers.?I have been to many?.this one was truly a 9.99 on the 10 point scale.?

The tournament was won by a team from Salmon's Rentals, and dinner was attended by about 200 guests.

Among the items up for auction were a $3,000 pair of diamond earrings and a $3,000 men's ring donated by Lee's Fine Jewellers; culinary time donated by Daren and Stephanie Kennedy which sold for $4,250; a stay at a private residence at Tobiano golf course and four rounds of golf donated by Cori and Gord German which sold for $2,300; and another stay at a private residence and rounds of golf donated by John and Chris Maher which also sold for $2,300.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) ? Inbee Park was hopeful of tough conditions to help her make up an eight-shot deficit at the Women's British Open.

It turned out to be too tough.

Park's ball moved on the fourth green from 40 mph gusts at St. Andrews, and the third round was suspended a short time later. Officials waited nearly six hours before deciding not to resume the third round until 6:15 a.m. Sunday. The hope would be to get 72 holes in by Sunday evening.

Of the nine players who finished the third round, the best score was a 75.

Park, going after a record fourth professional major in the same year, was 1 under through four holes.

St. Andrews is one of the most difficult links courses in Britain when the wind is strong.

Rugby Union: Marshall wants Auckland move

Benji Marshall has confirmed he has opened talks with Super Rugby franchise Auckland Blues as he looks to switch codes.

The rugby league star captained his country to victory in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup and he announced last month that he wanted to leave Wests Tigers.
Since his decision, Marshall has been linked with moves to Super Rugby sides New South Wales Waratahs and ACT Brumbies. The 28-year-old has decided he wants to play his rugby domestically because he has ambitions to turn out for the All Blacks.
Marshall confirmed he held talks with Blues coach Sir John Kirwan and chief executive Andy Dalton on Friday.
He said: "Preferably I'd like to come here (New Zealand). I've got to take into account all my options but the opportunity to maybe one day play for the All Blacks is a pretty big motivator for me.
"Obviously I'm pretty nervous about that but at the same time excited at the prospect of having the opportunity.
"I think I can play a few positions. I'd like to be in control so 10, 12 or even 15. It's looking promising, if it all works out according to plan then hopefully I do end up playing here."

Rovers? football manager Long armed with ?hands-on? advice

FORMER GREAT Britain ace Sean Long has vowed to take a ?hands-on? role at Featherstone Rovers.

Long has been unveiled as Rovers? football manager until the end of the season, working alongside new interim head coach Danny Evans.

Ryan Sheridan, who stepped into the coaching hot seat when Daryl Powell quit the club earlier this year, has left with immediate effect.

He is expected to team-up with Powell again as a member of Castleford Tigers? coaching staff.

Warrington Wolves youth boss John Bastian has already been unveiled as Rovers? head coach from next season.

Long is a three-time Lance Todd Trophy winner, as the Challenge Cup final man of the match.

He played in Super League for St Helens and Hull and had spells on the coaching staff at Salford City Reds and Wigan Warriors after hanging up his boots.

Asked what his new role entails, Long said: ?Lot of hands-on, but also a lot of video footage, how we?re going to break down the defence.

?I know Featherstone have been going really well, but anything I can help with in the last six games of the season and the play-offs then that?s what I?m here to do.?

The former international half-back said that will mean ?tweaking up the moves they?ve already got, making them a little bit better and getting hands-on on training field as well?.

Long feels Rovers are in a good position to win their second Kingston Press Championship Grand Final.

?I am really pleased this opportunity has come up,? he said.

?The previous coaches have done a great job and the players are sitting top of the table (actually second) so it?s a great task in itself.

?Hopefully I can come in and just finish off the job Daryl started. It is great for me.?

Long insists he knows what he?s in for.

?I watch it now and again,? he said of the Championship.

?I watch it on Thursday nights when it?s on Premier Sports and then get to big games where I can.

?I know most of the players anyway as most are ex-Super League players.

?I?ve watched the last three games so know how they play.?

Of the future, he said he is ?just concentrating on this season for the moment?.

But added: ?It?s short-term, but who knows?

?If we win the Plate and the Grand Final, who knows what could happen. I just want to win as many trophies I can with Fev.?

Artificial Ear Grown on Rat's Back

From artificial eyeballs to limbs, doctors have dreamed up dozens of ways to replace body parts when things go wrong.

Now they can add a new device to their repertoire: a lifelike, flexible ear made from cartilage cells seeded on a titanium scaffold.

The new technique, described July 30 in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, is better than previous tissue-engineering efforts and could replace a laborious technique that requires plastic surgeons to fashion a crude ear shape out of a lump of cartilage. The procedure could be used in trauma injury patients who have lost an ear or in children with microtia, a congenital ear deformity, said bioengineer Tom Cervantes, who was at Massachusetts General Hospital at the time of the research.

Prosthetic ears

In the race to create bionic humans, ears have been a surprisingly tricky challenge. Numerous artificial ears are in medical use, but most had problems. Ears made from cartilage cells would often shrivel once implanted onto an animal. Prosthetic ears typically weren't very flexible or realistic-looking. And the reigning practice of extracting cartilage from a person's ribs and fashioning it into an ear was laborious and difficult to match with a person's other ear. Recently, researchers reported they had used a 3D printer to create a bioengineered ear. [The Top 5 Weirdest Prosthetics ]

"For something like the ear where it's very cosmetic in nature, having a proper shape is one of the most important requirements. We wouldn't want it to look like a shriveled nub," Cervantes, who is now at Stanford University School of Medicine in California, told LiveScience.

Cervantes and his colleagues wanted to create something that could be customized. The team started with a 3D computer model and used that to create a titanium mesh of the basic ear shape. They then seeded the mesh with cartilage cells that formed their own matrix over the mesh.

To see how the ear would hold up when connected to a blood supply, the team implanted the ear on several rats' backs and studied them for several weeks. Unlike previous attempts, the ear didn't shrivel up nor become deformed.

Because the design is based on a 3D model, there's no reason that a person couldn't have a matching set of symmetrical earlobes based on their own shape, Cervantes said.

"The way we've gone about creating it paves the way for creating patient-specific ear shapes," Cervantes said.
