TIFFIN, Ohio – The No. 9 Heidelberg University football fell from the ranks of the unbeaten on Saturday, losing to No. 1 Mount Union 44-34 in front of a record crowd at Mayer Field.
Quarterback Michael Mees threw for a season-high 327 yards on 17-of-34 passing with two touchdowns and an interception to lead the Student Princes offensively.
Mount Union (8-0, 7-0 OAC) struck first on a 14-yard touchdown from Kevin Burke to Jack Nicholls. Edward Ruhnke's extra point made it 7-0.
Heidelberg (7-1, 6-1 OAC) answered quickly. Mees found Cameron Vocke in the end zone for an 8-yard touchdown strike. The play was set up by a 64-yard completion to Donteea Dye on 3rd-and-9. Dan Kilger hit the extra point to tie the game.
Trailing 17-7 in the 2nd quarter, Mees scrambled for a 5-yard touchdown. The drive was aided by a 21-yard completion to Derek Hug. The point after hit the upright, which kept the score at 17-13.
On the ensuing drive, Heidelberg forced Mount into 4th-and-7 at their own 19. Ruhnke lined up in punt formation, took the snap and ran to the right side for a 50-yard gain. Three plays later, Burke hit Luc Meachem for a 27-yard touchdown. The score was part of a 13-point run for the visitors, who took a 30-13 lead into the locker room.
After a Mount Union punt on the opening drive of the third quarter, Mees and Dye connected for a 35-yard touchdown pass. Dye finished with four catches for 112 yards.
A quirky play on the next Mount possession yielded the game's first turnover. Burke dropped back to pass and slipped as he tried to step up in the pocket. In an attempt to avoid the sack, Burke tried to send a shovel pass to running back B.J. Mitchell. Heidelberg's Clay Staib picked up the loose ball and returned it 13 yards to the Mount Union 27. The officials conversed and ruled it a fumble.
Cartel Brooks turned the turnover into points, as the junior from Galion danced his way into the end zone from 11 yards out. Kilger's extra point made it 30-27. It was as close as Heidelberg would get.
Mitchell carried the ball six times on the next Purple Raider possession, including a 2-yard touchdown rush. Burke and Nicholls connected on a 64-yard completion.
The Student Princes drove the ball down to the 2-yardline on their next possession, thanks in large part to a 56-yard pass from a scrambling Mees to a wide open Brooks on the right side. Facing 4th-and-goal to start the fourth quarter, The Berg lined up for a 20-yard field goal attempt. The holder, Nate Hasse, took the snap, rolled to his left, but was hit and fumbled before he could get off a pass.
Mount Union recovered the fumble and scored five plays later. On 3rd-and-8, Burke found Meachem for a 56-yard touchdown. Burke finished 16-of-22 passing for 310 yards and four touchdowns, two to Nicholls and two to Meachem. Nicholls had 125 yards and Meachem had 100 yards.
Undeterred, Heidelberg turned up the intensity and scored again. Brooks started with a 17-yard pickup, followed by passes to Christian Dominguez and Hug for 22 yards and 32 yards respectively. Brooks scored his second touchdown on a 9-yard rush.
Despite allowing the two touchdowns, the Mount Union defense bottled up Brooks for most of the game. He was held to a season-low 68 yards on 26 carries.
Trailing by 10, the Heidelberg defense continued to get stops down the stretch, but the Student Princes could not strike again.
Despite giving up a season-high 654 yards of total offense, Heidelberg sacked the elusive Burke five times and had nine total tackles for loss.
The Berg offense tallied 425 yards. Their 34 points were the most given up by Mount Union in the regular season since 1999.
All is not lost for the Student Princes, who still have a shot at a conference title and a playoff bid. They face undefeated No. 15 John Carroll in University Heights next Saturday.

Economic Fallout Likely With Any Fiscal Cliff Deal
Once companies feel that the "fiscal cliff" has been avoided, they will likely turn to delayed projects and step up hiring again, Justin Lahart discusses on Markets Hub.

MATTAPOISETT — Defense. It's been Old Rochester's strength all season and the Lady Bulldogs shut down a good offensive team Tuesday night in a 49-16 South Coast Conference girls basketball win over Fairhaven.
MATTAPOISETT — Defense. It's been Old Rochester's strength all season and the Lady Bulldogs shut down a good offensive team Tuesday night in a 49-16 South Coast Conference girls basketball win over Fairhaven.
Senior guard Katie Wilbur poured in a game-high 19 points for ORR, which improved to 13-1 overall and remained the only undefeated team in the SCC with a 12-0 mark.
The Lady Bulldogs got nine points from senior guard Abby Offringa and six points from junior center Haley Dickerson.
ORR was also fueled by solid efforts from sophomore centers Gabby Reuter (six blocked shots) and Morgan Browning, who played some good minutes off the bench in support of Reuter.
"We played a full game on defense and that was a key," ORR coach Bob Hohne said. "We maintained our defensive pressure with Gabby on the bench and Morgan did a good job in her first extended minutes with the varsity. She held down the fort with Gabby out of the game."
The Blue Devils had to play without senior guard Ashley Brown, who's averaging 15.9 points a game and sat out because of an in-house decision that Fairhaven coach Jeff Perry would not comment about.
Without Brown in the lineup, the Blue Devils just weren't the same and they became the fourth team that's failed to score 20 points against ORR this season.
The Lady Bulldogs, who have held everybody they've played to 38 points or less, beat Dighton-Rehoboth by a score of 52-19, Case by a score of 50-14, and New Bedford by a score of 44-10.
WHAT IT MEANS: The win gave the Lady Bulldogs a season sweep over the Blue Devils. ORR notched a 44-37 win at Fairhaven on Sunday. The loss dropped the Blue Devils to 9-4 overall and 8-4 in the conference.
perry on the key to the game: "ORR did a nice job forcing us into a lot of turnovers and bad shots."
SOUTHCOASTVARSITY.COM STAR OF THE GAME: Wilbur did a nice job getting open for good looks at the basket and made four of her five 3-pointers in the second half.
PIVOTAL SEQUENCE: The Lady Bulldogs stormed to a quick 6-0 lead and ended up taking a 14-3 lead into the second quarter.
Fairhaven STATS: The Blue Devils committed only two teams fouls in the game. They were not called for a foul in the first half. Senior center Kay Mullen was whistled for both fouls, one in the third quarter and one in the fourth. ... The Blue Devils scored only four points in the second half. ... Five of their 16 points came at the free-throw line. ... Mullen, who scored a game-high 16 points in the teams' first meeting on Sunday, did all of her scoring at the free-throw line in the rematch, finishing with four points.
Old Rochester STATS: The Lady Bulldogs were whistled for eight fouls and they scored only two of their points at the foul line. ... ORR made 7 of 21 3-pointers.
NOTES: Neither team committed a foul in the opening 4:47 of the first quarter. ... After some off-the-court problems following Sunday's matchup at Fairhaven, there were no incidents before, during, or after the rematch. ORR had extra security on hand, but it wasn't needed. ... Both squads return to action for SCC games on Friday. Old Rochester hosts Case and Fairhaven plays at Bourne.
Fairhaven (9-4, 8-4 SCC)

By Kulwant Kaur Khalsa, New Mexico, USA
"You have to live with kindness, compassion, and service. These are the three sources of all knowledge, happiness, prosperity, and richness. " ~Yogi Bhajan
A few years ago our friend, Sat Kirpal Kaur, fell and broke her leg and a number of people here in Espanola rallied round to help her during the healing process. It seemed that things like this were happening on a regular basis, and someone got the idea: "Why don't we organize ourselves so that we are ready the next time?" And so a group of five friends began to meet on a regular basis, serving as the core group that could reach out to a vast network of volunteers throughout the Sangat at Hacienda de Guru Ram Das in New Mexico.
During our first year we were very busy. There was a steady flow of people who had a hip replacement, needed cataract surgery, broke a foot, or fell from a roof. Sometimes these things happened simultaneously. We were scurrying around without much time to think about it all, and at times we felt overwhelmed and wondered if we had gotten in over our heads.
But then, out of the blue, things leveled out and we had a chance to catch our breath, look at our organization, and think about how we would like to see it evolve. We decided to call ourselves Hearts and Hands. Having a name seemed to make a big difference. Somehow we now had an identity, and felt more firmly planted in the ground. We did a group brainstorming process and quickly realized that our vision was vast and our dreams many. We saw Hearts and Hands moving into many new areas within the ashram and then into the surrounding community beyond the ashram. This was a joyous and inspiring experience for us, to get a taste of where Hearts and Hands might take us. It seemed that the sky was the limit, and that the future held many adventures and opportunities for us.
One of our goals was to create a sense of appreciation within the sangat for one another, for the ashram, and for all that people do for one another. So we decided to have an appreciation breakfast to bring together the people who had been served by Hearts and Hands and all the volunteers who had helped them. The Hearts and Hands crew cooked and hosted, those who had been helped were honored and congratulated on their recovery, and they in turn were happy to recognize and thank the volunteers who had come to their aid. The breakfast was a success, and we were happy that we had gone a step beyond helping one another to honoring and appreciating one another.
About this time Darshan Kaur became inspired by what we were trying to do, and stepped in to work with us as a consultant. She very generously shared her skills and talents to help us obtain our domain name, HeartsandHandsNM.com, and set up our website. We expressed many ideas about how to make this interactive with the sangat and to function as a communication link with our volunteers about what was needed, when, and where. But for now, it still remains a bare bones site, and all the features we hope for are still to manifest as we evolve in the future.
In the meantime, we were continuing on with our core mission, and on a regular basis would organize volunteers to assist sangat members in times of need. These were always health emergencies that would resolve themselves in a few weeks time. But on the horizon was new kind of situation—a health problem that would last not for a few weeks or months but long term. We had never dealt with a long term illness. This was going to require a team that would remain in place indefinitely.
Things started out slowly, with only occasional trips to the doctor needed. And we had time to look to the future and prepare ourselves to function in a new way. When the time came there was a devoted team to clean, paint, and prepare a new home for our beloved patient. Rama Singh, with his construction skills, led volunteers in building a new fence to make a safe yard for our sister's dog. An enthusiastic group of young people packed up her belongings and moved her into the house where she would live with a dear friend.
As our patient settled in, a support group developed to help her with the routines of daily life: grocery shopping, preparing the juices at the center of her healing therapy, and driving her to doctor's appointments. When it became clear that financial resources were stretched thin, Hearts and Hands again entered a new arena and began to learn about fundraising.
The founders of Hearts and Hands, the original five, are Sat Kartar Kaur (the one who had the idea to begin with), Hari Charn Kaur, Kulwant Kaur, Sangeet Kaur, and Sat Sangeet Kaur. All of us are from what Yogi Bhajan always called the pioneer generation, otherwise known as aging boomers—the generation that is going to break the Social Security system and Medicare. "Well," you might say, "No wonder they want to help people with broken bones and cataracts. It's simply enlightened self interest." And perhaps you're right.
But about a year ago a fresh breeze blew into our group and Sat Darshan Kaur at twenty something years of age, invigorated us with a youthful spirit. Almost immediately she began to campaign for us to sponsor a Memorial Day party for the whole ashram. I can only speak for myself, but I thought: "Don't we have enough on our plates? This is way over the top." But her energy was unstoppable. Before you knew it we were all excited and got the whole ashram involved. In the end, it was a day when everyone came together to just appreciate that we're all here. There was face painting and games for the kids, grilled veggie dogs and burgers, a table laden with the most wonderful potato salads, desserts, and everything else that you could ever want at a cookout. The grand finale was a concert and sing along with Mata Mandir Singh and friends. It was fun, fun, fun! A beautiful gift for everyone to enjoy.
Most recently Upma Kaur has joined us, also a generation or two younger, and she has come just in time. She brings an expertise in PR and graphic design that we have put to immediate use with the advertising for our latest venture which is another new frontier for us. Here in Espanola on March 18-20 we are sponsoring a benefit workshop and weekend with Hargopal Kaur from Los Angeles. All proceeds will go to projects assisting local community members. Hargopal Kaur has a healing practice in Sat Nam Rasayan ® and facilitates another healing modality called Family Constellations. There will be a Family Constellations workshop on Saturday, March 19 from 9:00-4:00, with a vegetarian lunch included. The workshop qualifies as continuing education credits for Nurses, Clinical Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapists, but it's just a great opportunity for a lot of us to come together and share a healing energy. On Friday March 18 and Sunday March 19, Hargopal will be available for private sessions in Sat Nam Rasayan®, Family Constellations, Energy Clearing for your home or office, and Spatial Arrangement for Prosperity. For more information about the workshop and private sessions, you can contact us at [email protected].
In looking back to the brainstorming process we did early on, it seems that some of the goals we imagined have already been realized, and more are just on the cusp of becoming a reality. Others await us in the future. The best thing is that we love what we are doing, and love doing it together.
Kulwant Kaur Khalsa lives in Los Angeles and Espanola, NM. She has been a Kundalini Yogi and a Sikh since 1971. She worked for many years helping to build the businesses and organizations founded by Yogi Bhajan. She is passionate about Hearts and Hands and other projects that give back to the community.

Substance abuse and family violence are a combustible combination and a global health issue.
Rochester Institute of Technology professor Caroline Easton, a forensic clinical psychologist in the College of Health Sciences and Technology, supports a new approach that integrates addiction and aggression issues and treats the individual, not a generic group. Easton's model is a departure from the current treatment model used in clinics treating patients referred through the court system.
Easton organized the conference, "Treating Family Violence as a Contagious Disease: Moving Beyond One-Size-Fits-All Treatment Approach," that will take place 9 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. on Monday, March 11, at the RIT Inn & Conference Center. The RIT College of Health Sciences and Technology is sponsoring the event.
"The one-size-fits-all approach has been used for 30 years or so, and it hasn't changed," Easton says. "It costs $5.8 billion a year in taxpayer money, not to mention damage to families. Children witnessing untreated mental health and behavioral health issues often end up as victims or as offenders themselves."
Gail Gilchrist, head of the Center for Applied Social Research at the University of Greenwich in London, is implementing Easton's method in eight ambulatory clinics across London. She will present the keynote talk, "Treating Intimate Partner Violence Among Substance Users." Other talks will address the impact of fathers, offenders and victims, best practice procedures, victims of family violence, and consequences to children.
In the afternoon, RIT students in the medical illustration program will exhibit interactive media for use with individuals struggling with addiction and aggression issues. From 1:15 to 2:15 p.m., students will exhibit virtual reality, cyber and human visualization tools, including the creation of a cyber coach named "Al-Virt" to help teach patients healthy conflict resolution through virtual role playing exercises. Other exhibits will demonstrate Noldus Facial Recognition of Emotion Software used to help clients model positive communication skills.
The students' interactive software supplements Easton's integrative model of care for assessing and treating substance use, domestic violence and the interaction between the two.
"Human visualization and cyber tools, I think, are the future in medical sciences in terms of treatment and education," Easton says. "RIT students are doing it now. They're at the forefront."

Welcome to my blog and the place where I will post my photos and musings from my life as an ultrarunner. My nickname "Shining" was given to me by a group of very special students after I finished my first 100-miler, the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100. They were the inspiration that enabled me to finish this awesome race, and I try to live each day with a "shining" attitude!

Grindstone Training, week #2: June 23-29
Monday: 8 miles on dirt and road with 10x 1 minute pickups (at about 5K pace) with 30 seconds recovery after each pick-up. I ran the pick-ups toward the end of the run, and overall felt great. Every Monday is "pick-up" Monday, which I enjoy and which really helped me at Masochists last year.
Tuesday: My first double! am: 7 miles easy, HR in the 120s. pm: 5 miles easy, HR in the 120s. I was starving after this run so I was happy that Rusty and I were going out to our fave restaurant, Mas, for our anniversary. I think I ate at least a loaf of bread before dinner was served (actually, tapas...very yummy).
Wednesday: 8 miles with 6 miles at tempo pace (7:20 per mile), as well as two power line climbs at the end. These climbs are short---about a minute long) but the grade is sick, about 15%. Bill Potts and I run this loop every week or so...we call it the "Bread and Butter" run because you get rolling dirt,technical trail, lots of climb, and a tempo run all neatly packaged into a 1:15 run. Our goal for the end of the summer is to be able to run it with 4 powerlines at the end in under (dare I say?) 1:25.
**A fun note about this power line run...a few summers ago, Bill and I were training on this same trail, which is on the UVA campus. We came across about twenty current and former UVA football players running sprints up the powerlines. They were finishing their tenth one, and these huge men were CRYING for their mommies at the end. All except for Chris Long, one of my former students at STAB and who ended up being the #2 pick in the NFL draft this year. He wasn't even breathing hard, while all his teammates were in tears...something to think about!
Thursday: Day Off. I was beginning to feel sluggish and tired, so I went to the gym in the p.m. and lifted instead. I am concentrating on developing my core strength, as well as my climbing muscles. So I did a lot of lunges and squats on the balance board, and a lot of good exercises on the Swiss ball.
Friday: Carter's Mountain run with Bill, 8.6 miles (Bill got a new toy called a GPS today). Carter's Mountain is about 1,000+ feet of climb in 2 miles and borders some really awesome singletrack. We climbed up to the top in 25 minutes, keeping the HR in the 150 range. Then we hammeered down to the halfway mark to trash our quads a bit, then uphill again on another trail for 30 minutes. Then down , down the mountain on sweet singletrack and mowed fields to the parking lot. I can see myself spending a lot of time here this summer!
Saturday: Afton to Humpback and back with Quatro, 5 hours/21 miles. This was an easy, relaxed run with lotsa climb and some excellent downhill. The views at Humpback were gorgeous and it was surprisingly cool all morning! It was fun to catch up with Q, whom I have been ultra training buds with since 2002. The Afton To Hump and Back run was a VHTRC training run in 04 and 05, before the ultra calendar got so crammed with races. Perhaps it's time to bring back the Afton to Hump run? It's wonderful, runnable singletrack with plenty of creek crossings to cool off in. Hmmmmm....
Sunday: Easy 12 miles on rolling dirt and gravel roads near my house. A great way to end my first 70-mile week. Next week calls for 75 miles and I will be at the Outer Banks, so I will be training on flats and on the beach! We'll see how it goes...

Great week, chica! And your first double = KEWL! If I'm not careful, I may have to start cranking out doubles again myself. Holy cow!
(OK, no more reading this blog ... :)

Doubles are when I usually start getting injured, so don't neglect the need for proper hydration, stretching, and rest. I used to run to/from work, and it is amazing how much of a struggle it would be to get moving on the trip home.
Can you send me or post your training plan?

I'll make a copy and send it. It was created for Masochist but will work fine for Gstone with additional long runs.
Doubles are hard. Luckily, my daughter has swim practice from 4:45-5:45 every day, so I drop her off and run an easy loop on trail near the pool. Summer is the best time for me to be training for a 100 too, as I am off work and can nap as well as sleep late :-)

Emilie's Effort
Emilie Johnson had one of the finest games by a Gaucho player in recent history when she poured in a career-high 29 points in UCSB's 75-65 win over San Diego on Sunday. The sophomore guard was 9 of 16 from the field - including a career-best 5-for-8 from three-point range - and hit all six of her free throws. It was the most points scored by a UCSB player since Jessica Wilson scored 30 on Nov. 10, 2006 at Portland State. For her efforts, Johnson was named Big West Player of the Week, her first such honor.
Block Party
Junior center Mekia Valentine has swatted 23 shots in her four games - an average of 5.8 per game, which ranks her third in the nation. She has already put her name in the school's single-game record books with two games of seven blocks and another with six (see chart, right). Valentine is already nearly halfway to Jenna Green's team-high 57 blocks from last season and is just 23 away from breaking into UCSB's single-season top-10. The school record for blocks in a season belongs to Lindsay Taylor, who swatted 69 shots in 2001-02.
Road Warriors
UCSB won its first game on the road last Sunday whereas last season the Gauchos didn't win their first road game until Jan. 8 after dropping their first five away games.
Probable Starters
No. Name Pos Quick Notes
10 Emilie Johnson G Big West Player of the Week
21 Meagan Williams G Averaging 7.6 ppg and 4.4 rpg
32 Margaret Johnson F Made first start of year at San Diego
14 Jordan Franey F Broke out of shooting slump with 11 pts
44 Mekia Valentine C Avg. 5.8 blocks per game - it's not a typo
Possible Reserves
0 Bree Richardson G DNP vs. SD, but avg. 10.8 min per game
1 Sweets Underwood F Averaging 14.6 minutes per game
3 Megan Kritscher F/C Has seen time in 3 of team's 5 games
11 Stefanie Corgel G Made her UCSB debut @ Nevada
12 Ariana Gnekow G Averaging 3.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg
22 Chris Spencer G Missed San Diego game with leg injury
25 Jessie Goble F/C 2 rebs, 1 block in 4 minutes vs LMU
33 Destini Mason G One of 5 freshman on team
Tough Start
Opening the season with four straight losses marked the first time a UCSB team started that way since the 2005-06 season (losing five straight). That was also the last time a UCSB team lost four games in a row, regardless of where it fell on the schedule.
Swat Team
Behind Valentine's record pace, UCSB leads the Big West with its 6.8 blocks per game average, which is seventh in the country. Against Kentucky, the Gauchos blocked 12 shots, which ties the school record for a single game, set Feb. 24 of last season vs. Oregon State. If the Gauchos' keep their current pace they would shatter the single-season record of 140 set in 2003-04 as they are on pace for 197 blocks. While Valentine has 23 of the team's 34 blocks, Meagan Williams is second with six swats.
On the Rebound
Even though UCSB dropped its first four games, the Gauchos outrebounded their opposition in every one of their contests. Sunday's victory, though, saw San Diego outrebound the Gauchos. UCSB is averaging 36.2 rebounds per game while opponents are grabbing an average of 34.6 boards per game - a +1.6 margin, which leads the Big West. The Gauchos also have six players pulling down at least 3.0 rebounds per game.
Seven and Seven
After making just seven three-pointers spread out over their first four games - an average of just 1.8 per game - UCSB canned 7 of 13 from downtown vs. San Diego, matching their season output.
Dynamic Duo
Mekia Valentine and Emilie Johnson are averaging 17.3 and 14.6 points per game, ranking them fourth and fifth, respectively, in the Big West. The pair have taken 109 of UCSB's 255 total shots, or 42.7% of the Gauchos' entire output. Valentine and Johnson are also the team's leading rebounders at 9.3 and 5.0 (Chris Spencer has a 6.5 rebound average, but in just two games). Valentine's rebound total leads the Big West, as does her 62.8 shooting percentage.
Baby, It's Cold Outside
Despite hitting those seven bonus bombs vs. San Diego, UCSB is still shooting just 20.9% from beyond the arc this season. UCSB missed all 10 of its three-point attempts vs. Kentucky, the second time this season the Gauchos have missed all of their downtown attempts (also 0-for-17 at Nevada). The last time a UCSB team went 0-for twice in a game from three-point range was the 2004-05 team, although that squad was 0-for-6 in one game and 0-for-1 in another. Prior to this season, the last time UCSB went at least 0-for-10 from downtown came in a Nov. 26, 2005 loss at BYU when the Gauchos missed all 13 of their three-point attempts.
Making a Point
Last season UCSB allowed just 55.5 points per game - second-best in school single-season history - while opponents shot just 34.6% vs. the Gauchos. This season, though, it's been a bit different. UCSB is allowing 68.2 points per game while opponents are shooting 41.6%.
`Dome Sweet `Dome
When the calendar flips to 2010, it will mark the 30th year the Thunderdome has been used for home games and in that time, the UCSB women's basketball team has enjoyed a large majority of its success inside the `Dome. The Gauchos have won over 400 games in the Thunderdome's existence, but over the past two decades, it has really proved to be a home court advantage. Since 1991, UCSB is 200-41 in the Thunderdome, an astounding winning percentage of .830.
Halfway There
Last season UCSB hit the 70-point mark on just four occasions. So far this year the Gauchos have done it twice.
Double Digit Defeats
The last time a UCSB team dropped three consecutively scheduled games by double-digits was during the 1989-90 season.
Stay in Touch With the Gauchos
Three people will keep fans abreast of all things related to the women's basketball team this year through UCSBgauchos.com. Head Coach Lindsay Gottlieb has her own Twitter page at twitter.com/UCSBCoachG and Emilie Johnson and Margaret Johnson both write for the blog "Johnsons' Journal." Each social networking tool can be found on the women's basketball page at UCSBgauchos.com.
The Lindsay Gottlieb File
Lindsay Gottlieb is in her second season as the Gauchos' head coach, and she is just the fourth head coach in UCSB women's basketball history. Last season Gottlieb guided the Gauchos to a 22-10 overall mark (15-1 in the Big West) and the Big West regular-season and tournament championships. Named the Big West Coach of the Year, Gottlieb became the first coach in Gaucho history to win at least 20 games and the Coach of the Year award in her first season - and one of only seven coaches nationwide to do so. Gottlieb led the Gauchos to their 14th consecutive postseason appearance and the team won 20 games for the 12th time in the past 14 years. In her first season at the helm of the program, Gottlieb guided the Gauchos to national prominence, ranking in the top-10 in field goal percentage defense, a top-20 finish in points allowed per game while watching her team set a school record for free throw percentage. No stranger to success, Gottlieb was formerly the associate head coach at Cal, helping the team to a 68-28 (.708) overall mark in her time there. Prior to that, Gottlieb was an assistant at the University of Richmond, where she helped the Spiders to three straight 20-win seasons.
Say Goodbye
UCSB lost five players who were critical to the Gauchos' success last season when Sha'Rae Gibbons, Jenna Green, Lauren Pedersen, Kat Suderman and Whitney Warren all graduated. The quintet took 563 games of experience with them along with 1,169 points from last season - or 61% of the team's scoring output from 2008-09.

Winter cape with hood
Added Dec 12, 2011
by rshelly13
Portland, Maine,...
I have finally got pictures taken of my winter cape. Last year, I created a spring cape that I could wear in warmer weather. I loved it and wanted to make a second. The winter in Oregon is usually warm enough to wear a cape, but really rainy. I wanted a hood on the cape to keep out the rain. I had some black fabric that I got for free and some soft velvety flower printed fabric that I got for really cheap. I drafted a hood from a jacket that I wear during the winter. I added a few extra inches so that it would fall out in a more dramatic way. I decided to make the belt with a belt look instead of a tie because the fabric looked like a bathrobe tie once tied. I had found the sparkly belt buckle at a flea market in Maine for a dollar. I then found some gloves at a shop for $4. In these photos I am wearing Versace pants and an angora sweater that I got during a clothing swap party.

Thanks. I really liked the soft pink fabric, but I thought that it may be a little too loud as a cape. The black tames it a bit and makes the pink the accent color.

The beginning of the new solar year on 24 June coincides with one of the largest events in South America: the spectacular Inti Raymi festival in Peru. In the glory days of the Inca Empire, this was the most important celebration of the year. The celebration in honour of Sun God Inti was commemorated in the sacred city of Cuzco. Today, like hundreds of years ago, the event portrays the eternal matrimony between the sun and humans.
The Inca Empire was once the largest empire in the world. The sun played a very important role in the life of the Incas. They would ring in the new year after the shortest day of the year. That means on 24 June. This event at the beginning of the new solar year is also known as the winter solstice. This occasion is still marked with a large celebration. There was a time when Inti Raymi was forbidden. Writer and actor Faustino Espinoza Navarro, also known as the saviour of Inti Raymi, reconstructed the celebration as realistically as possible. And since 1944, the annual event has been attracting throngs of tourists.
In the days prior to the celebration, Cuzco hosts various exhibits around the city and there are performances at Plaza de Armas, the main square. But the real start of the festival takes place in Coricancha, the Temple of the Sun. The lucky actor who plays the role of Sapa Inca, the Emperor, will offer his first tribute to this Sacred Day and the Sun God. This happens in Quechua, the language of the Incas that is still widely spoken in Peru. Then Sapa Inca will be seated on an impressive golden chair and carried via the Plaza de Armas to the famous ruin of Sacsayhuamán, on top of a hill overlooking the city. Followers in the procession make music, dance and pray. They toss flowers and women with brooms sweep away the evil spirits. The story continues at the ruin. Accompanied by drums, Sapa Inca, various priests and actors dressed as snakes, pumas and condors perform a spectacular play that lasts several hours.
You are not the only one keen to visit Inti Raymi! In addition to hundreds of actors, there are thousands of tourists and Peruvians who wouldn't want to miss this event for the world. Book your stay in Cuzco well in advance. You can also reserve a seat at the ruin of Sacsayhuamán for a great view of the 5-hour long performance. Or find a spot on the hill among tens of thousands of Peruvians. The atmosphere is fabulous: the celebrating crowds, the occasional llama and delicious food.

Which ACC coaches are on the hot seat as 2012 season approaches?
With the addition of Syracuse and Pittsburgh to the league next July, the ACC is guaranteed of having at least two new coaches at its Football Kickoff preseason media event in 2013. The question on the eve of this year's event is, will the Orange's Doug Marrone and the Panthers' Paul Chryst be the only unfamiliar faces in the room? That depends largely on how the upcoming season plays out, especially as it pertains to teams coached by men whose… Read More »

Dir. Frank Henenlotter
When his fiancée is decapitated in a freak remote control lawnmower accident, medical student Jeffrey Franken sets out to build her a new body made up of Manhattan street hookers and zap her back into life... These hookers are tough cookies though, and the only way Jeffrey can get his hands on a dead one is by using his latest invention, Supercrack; a lethal cocktail of drugs designed to make the user explode. Yup. You read that right. Explode.
In case that synopsis leaves you in any doubt, Frankenhooker is a sleazy, trash-fest of splashy splatter effects, ludicrous body-horror, gratuitous nudity and cartoonish violence. Henenlotter's irreverent take on Mary Shelley's 'Prometheus' is so intent on being offensive, it'd make the poor woman turn in her grave. In other words, it's a damn good time. Prior to Frankenhooker, Henenlotter was responsible for such cheap and cheerful grot-fests as Basket Case 1 and 2, and Brain Damage; scuzzy, low-budget exploitation flicks boasting freakish protagonists engaging in all manner of seedy doings on the fringes of society. High on subversive imagination and morbid wit, his work may be exploitative trash, but its great exploitative trash; and certainly more provocative and entertaining than the majority of films currently in your local multiplex.
The New York backdrop of Frankenhooker is as sleazy and gritty as you'd expect, and Henenlotter has fun with the carnival of colourful characters that populate it; hookers, pimps, junkies, drag queens and all manner of other grimily exotic deadbeats. The bulk of the film basically acts as an elaborate set up, in which Jeffrey (James Lorinz from Street Trash) hatches his perverse plan - while treating his fiancée's severed head to candlelit dinners and fine wine no less - and his attempts to obtain the body parts he needs to rebuild her. Cue lots of naked exploding hookers and scenes featuring gory body parts flying through the air. When she's finally resurrected, the sight of the stitched together, bikini-clad Elizabeth (Patty Mullen) staggering through Times Square is worth the wait. Barking and slurring lines like "Want a date?" and "Got any money?" in a thick New York accent, she proceeds to turn a few tricks with morbidly hilarious results, as Jeffrey rushes frantically to retrieve her and take her back to his lab.
Were it not for the fact that its all so ludicrous and over the top, Frankenhooker could be seen as a misogynistic piece of grindhouse that views women as no more than the sum of their separate body parts. Well, maybe if you read The Daily Mail, it could. After the overly perky Elizabeth is mown down in the opening scene, the only other female characters are tough-talkin', street walkin', drug takin' hookers. Henenlotter's darkly twisted humour, impish enthusiasm and sly social commentary shine through though, and Frankenhooker emerges as a tongue-in-cheek, freakishly trashy retelling of Shelley's cautionary classic. Henenlotter's style is quite similar to the likes of Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna, and comparisons with the likes of Re-Animator and Society are inevitable; particularly in the last scenes when the severed body parts Jeffrey has been storing in a vat of his life preserving elixir begin to merge and take on grisly lives of their own. Despite the low budget, the special effects, as elaborate and ridiculous as they are, still look great.
Frankenhooker (cert. 18) was released on Blu-ray by Arrow Video on 2nd January 2012. Special Features include: brand new high definition transfer of the film (1080p); UK exclusive audio commentary with director Frank Henenlotter and star James Lorinz; UK exclusive introduction to the film by actor James Lorinz; "Your Date's On A Plate: The Making Of Frankenhooker" – UK exclusive documentary featuring director Frank Henenlotter, star James Lorinz and special effects artist Gabe Bartalos; a personal UK exclusive tour of the Gabe Bartalos effects lab in Los Angeles, California; "A Salad That Was Once Named Elizabeth: Patty Mullen Remembers Frankenhooker"; "A Stitch In Time: The Make-Up Effects Of Frankenhooker"; Turning Tricks: Jennifer Delora Remembers Frankenhooker"; original theatrical trailer; reversible sleeve with original and newly commissioned artwork by Graham Humphries; double-sided fold-out artwork poster; exclusive collectors' booklet featuring brand new writing on the film by Calum Waddell.

WBU students earn music achievement
PLAINVIEW – Wayland Baptist University's Department of Music passed out its annual music achievement awards this week in Harral Auditorium.
Students from every musical discipline compete for the awards by auditioning before the music faculty. One student from each classification (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior) received an achievement award based on competitive audition and grade point average. The contestants' performances are scored by the faculty with 75 percent of the total score based on the audition and 25 percent based on GPA.
Receiving the MAA among first-year students was Lori Flemons of Plainview. Steven Elixardo of Brownfield was named runner-up. In the second-year student competition, Grayson Smith of Amarillo received the award while Abby Holmes of Hobbs, N.M. was named runner up. Megan Roberts of Clarendon won the third-year student award with Josh Harris of Gruver being named runner-up, and Amy Moss of Plainview received the award for fourth-year students with Sarah Scott of Amarillo finishing as runner-up.
Dr. Ann Stutes, chairperson of the division of fine arts and associate professor of music, was pleased with the performances of the students.
"The level of performance continues to rise in all disciplines," Stutes said. "The faculty members are thrilled with the students' efforts and musicality."
The winners of the achievement awards will perform at the annual honors recital next fall.

A Postcard Shower
Okay, so it's been a while...but there's good reason to bring back the blog: David Ortiz needs us!
We haven't "had" to really do one of these in a while...but Sistah Kelly J (Triumphant Red Sox Fan) has decided (and we all agree) that now is definitely the time!
Here's what you need to do:
Get or make 10 postcards and write encouraging messages. Mail them ASAP but not after Wednesday, May 20, because they hit the road again the following Monday.

The point behind this is to show Papi that we support him and want him to do well - in spite of the negativity that might show itself through the media or jerks at the park.

Best Kids Parties: Superheroes
Name: José Luca/Zé Luca (3)
Location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
My favorite superhero came to save my world! When we thought about José Luca´s birthday party we wanted relaxation and open space. Colorful and full of energy, our little 3-year-old boy wanted the presence of their favorite superheroes and the party actually was so him.
To get away from the stressful environment of the "house party" in Rio we decided to make his party in the playground of our building. We invited some friends, family and all his schoolmates. The highlight of the celebration was the arrival of Batman (his 17 year old brother) who took José Luca's pacifiers to Gotham City.
It was a beautiful Sunday with many games, music, football and lots of goodies to eat. We got very tired at the end of the day but very happy.
Thanks Monica!

Liz Chavez — Babe of the Day
Some guy over at Sports Illustrated is asleep on the job. Why has Liz Chavez not been featured in the Swimsuit Issue? Why? That is the 'Holy Grail of Hot Chicks' and the fact that Miss Chavez (we can hope she's a Miss right?) has not been included is an insult to people with eyeballs everywhere.
She looks a bit like Kim Kardashian, but without the unbearable family, and no Scott Disick. That make her Disickless. And that body? Rating it on a scale of 1 to 10 is an absolute sin. We will not do it.
Chavez has been featured as a Maxim Hometown Hottie and a Playboy Summer Solstice model. She is a Nutrex sponsored athlete and a Vitrix Model Team member. She's also covered Register Magazine as well as done modeling for Capristan and Jetedone swimwear.

I haven't read much of the manga yet, but I am so there for this show. And that's for one reason: Yamamoto Yutaka 山本寛.
He directed and/or storyboarded and/or wrote some of the best episodes of Suzumiya Haruhi. He wrote, storyboarded and directed both episode 00 and the concert episode, and he storyboarded the episode with Yuki reading, as well as writing two other eps (3 and 5).
And he created two of the most, if not the most, popular OP/ED animations of the past three years: the SHnY ED and the Lucky Star OP. And even though he had to leave Lucky Star, I think he set that show in motion and gave it what made it popular.
On the evidence so far, I think he has a bit of comedy genius in him, so I'm eager to see what he does with this show.
The preview looks good, too. Good chara-des.
Here he is with Hirano Aya last year:
I'm not sure whether he was head-hunted before he was fired or not. He set up his own company in Osaka last year, Ordet, and now A-1 (which is in Tokyo) is using both them and him. I see that A-1 is a subsidiary of Aniplex.
No Anime, No Life says that he also storyboarded ep6 of Persona Trinity Soul (A1) and ep8 of Toshokan Sensou (Production IG), and directed ep11 of Sketchbook Full Colors (HAL Film Maker). It doesn't mention Ookiku Furikabutte, but since it's basically a wiki site, it just might have missed that. He also did OP2 for ShanaII.

Wow, the music in the trailer is really quite entrancing... (DRM'd promo material? What were they thinking?)
A big thank-you to everyone who's posted info here - I stumbled across the show on the Ichijinsha site, but after reading this thread it's definitely on my to-watch list.

The trailer looks very, very promising! After my first glance at the covers I thought this would be ecchi with loli sauce but upon closer inspection I seem to have been so wrong. I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Animation quality looks very nice. They're keeping the art style close to the manga which is a cool choice.
I guess Im looking forward to this now. Having read the manga and all.
To be honest. Im kind of amazed how they did the trailer. I was thinking thhey would just go with comedic moments. But the trailer seems to show abit of a dramatic appeal aswell.

The music in the show is by Kousaki Satoru, who did the music for both Suzumiya Haruhi and Lucky Star, and also did both the OP and ED for Lucky Star, apparently.
The animation director is Kadowaki Satoshi, who hasn't directed the animation for a whole show before, but did episodes of Air, Kanon, SHnY, and Lucky Star. Character design is by Mima Kakeru, who seems to be another ally of Yamakan's: he was animation director of Yamakan-directed episodes of Sketchbook (11) and of Dokuro-chan II (3) (according to No Anime, No Life).

Support for Alito's confirmation grew after widely televised confirmation hearings, the poll found. Before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, held January 11-13, 49 percent of respondents backed his nomination. In the poll released Monday, 54 percent expressed support.That says a lot about the quality of the Democratic Senators' presentation at the hearings. They were not able to gain one percentage point of opposition. You'd think that many people would, without giving it much thought, support a President's nominee initially. The 49 percent figure going into the hearing may show that. But the hearings should have eroded that high level of support at least a bit, and surely, some of the 21 percent undecided should have taken the negative position. Yet the hearings won Alito 5 additional points.
The percentage of people who opposed his confirmation remained unchanged [at 30 percent] after the hearings, Monday's poll found.
Clearly, the Democrats' strategy was poor. But exactly why was it so poor? I've said before that I think it's a mistake to portray judicial decisionmaking as a political enterprise, which is what they did, leaving Alito to prevail by doggedly explaining legal doctrine in response to every attempt at an attack. I think people want the Court to decide cases based on the law and want to believe a judge can do that. If so, the Democrats' attack on Alito would look ugly and offensive.
But it may be that a lot of people really do think the Court is political. If so, the Democrats have an entirely other reason to worry. It would mean that people want the Court to take the political positions the Democratic Senators assumed we would be outraged by. It's hard to say which issues would be most influential, but I note that the Senators tried very hard to frighten Americans about strong presidential power.
The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee said last week he believed Alito would fail to check what he views as the president's inappropriate expansion of executive power.Perhaps most Americans disagree.
"I'm not going to lend my support to an effort by this president to move the Supreme Court and the law radically to the right and to remove the final check within our democracy," Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont said Thursday.

It's tough to go a constant speed on your bike because it's congested on the weekends. Lovely otherwise
After reading about the Arroyo Mocho Trail, I headed out to reconnoiter my future commute route to work (Livermore) from San Ramon. The first 4-5 miles of this trail is hazardous for those with novice or beginner level riding skills. Those first few miles are mostly loose gravel with some gaping cracks in the paved sections. After that, the trail turns to a smoother, paved trail. Mountain, Gravel, Cyclocross or otherwise 'wide tires' are recommended for those with less experience riding in loose terrain.
A friend and I rode this trail as part of a two-day bike ride in East Bay – riding the Iron Horse Trail and the Contra Costa Canal Trails. On the first day – we road mostly the Iron Horse and then rode the Eastern Section of the Canal Trail to the end and back. This section of the Canal trail started out a bit rough but only for a small portion – maybe 100 yards – then the surface was smooth and it was a great ride along the canal through nice neighborhoods. We spent the night near the intersection of the Iron Horse and the Canal Trail and rode the Western Section the next day before heading back down the Iron Horse Trail. The western section of the trail was great as well – nice surface – easy to follow with a minimum of street crossings. Both of these trails have a lot of street crossings, but almost all of the crossings give a preference to the trail. We only had to wait at a few. Definitely a nice place to ride!
A friend and I rode this trail as part of a two-day bike ride in East Bay – riding the Iron Horse Trail and the Contra Costa Canal Trails. This trail gets 4.5 stars – there are some sections that area not all that great, but for the most part of the 24.5 miles we rode (both ways) are fabulous! We started in Dublin and rode to the end. The trail from Dublin through Danville and Alamo was really excellent, going through nice neighborhoods, has a GREAT, smooth surface and was sheltered for the most part so wind was not a great factor either way. The Walnut Creek section was a bit sketchy with some not so nice, unattractive sections with chain-link fences and rough surface. Odd – because one of the sections was used by High School students in large groups going home – it is absolutely used as a transportation route – not just a multi-use trail for recreation. We would have thought it would be better maintained. Past that and into Concord it was nice again except that there is an unmarked break in the trail at Monument Boulevard. We simply crossed a road and ended up on the wrong trail without noticing and there are no markings at all to say turn left here and go a few feet to the Iron Horse Trail so we found ourselves dumped onto a street unexpectedly. This was the Monument Corridor Trail in Concord. When you cross Monument Boulevard, you need to pay attention. It was a bit confusing and difficult to get back to the trail we wanted. But we did and coming back figured out what the problem was. The rest of the trail was ok but a bit choppy (i.e., bumps, cracks) around the airport. There are a couple of underpasses – but you notice right away if you miss them and can see where the trail is – like at Concord Avenue. The end of the trail is through an open field on the side of an airport and can get quite windy – but it isn't long and is just part of the experience. Overall – a GREAT ride!
Someone needs to maintain the event calendar--it says no events, but there was an organised marathon last weekend. There were tons of runners--it's safe, paved, etc. It would be nice to get one or two additional locations for restroom/water. I've been using this trail for 30 years, and it's nice to see that it gets appreciated by regular use (which also keeps it safe!)
Stayed at the Hilton on the south side of the trail and went north past the airport. It's a well maintained trail that follows the tiny Guadalupe river. If you can stay north of Julian St, you'll avoid sketchy-looking tent cities. I felt the run was perfectly safe and saw plenty of people throughout my run. I'd recommend it.
BE CAREFUL on the part of the trail that connects Antioch to Oakley. There are guys riding motorbikes on the trail sometime. They usually stick to the hills but will come down to the trail. There are some incredibly blind turns and these guys are driving really fast. They WILL hurt someone or themselves one day.
I don't really enjoy this trail. I only use it for my convenience. In fact, I use this trail to get to the Marsh Creek Trail, which is awesome!
Parked off of Gold Street. I didn't feel good about leaving my car there. It's a pretty rough looking area. There was trash everywhere. Broken glass, mattresses, mufflers. Went for the ride anyway. First few miles were great. Trail was well maintained and smooth. Once I got south of the airport it all went, well, south. The underpasses were all full of homeless people. Occasionally some would be sitting on the edge of the trial. No issues, but I never felt safe. It really killed what would have been an otherwise pleasant ride. I won't be back.
If you are looking for a smooth ride without a lot of traffic, this is your trail. The first half near lake Natoma has been freshly repaved and is billiard table smooth. The two street crossings have signals but other than those, it's a great path for fast riding.
this a great trail for family and friends to spend the day at.
It's a decent connector path to get between the Bay Trail, the San Tomas Aquino Trail, and the Guadalupe River Trail.
I love this trail, as do many other bikers. Going northbound is especially fun as it's a slow descent. And at the same time, going southbound is not hard either. If you live in Los Gatos or Campbell this trail is usually the best route for going places to the north or south.
One thing that could be improved (but isn't a huge deal breaker), is that the north end of the trail is not connected to the Guadalupe River trail and requires some street riding for a short distance (1 mile or so)
TrailLink is a free service provided by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (a non-profit) and we need your support!

Mainstream Press Seems To Think Fighting For Civil Liberties Is Childish
from the oh-grow-up dept
I find this incredibly disturbing. No, perhaps, being scanned or felt up in this manner isn't a huge deal to some people, but is it really so crazy that some people are actually concerned about their civil rights? That some people are actually concerned about the efficacy of these scanners? That some people are actually concerned about where this leads to next? That doesn't strike me as being childish or immature. It strikes me as exactly the opposite: it's about adults recognizing that rights are being eroded and that it's happening with little evidence that the reasons given make much sense. Simply giving in and submitting to authority because of some bogeyman claims certainly seems a lot more childish than asking "why"?

LOS ANGELES -- Spotlights, red-carpet entries and old-fashioned marquees. And just so World Wrestling Entertainment could truly put its stamp on a Hollywood-themed night, there were eardrum-popping fireworks, dropkicks, monkey flips, top-rope somersaults and even a Crippler Crossface.
Indeed Wrestlemania XXI was right where it belonged at the Staples Center.
Taking nothing away from New York City, Seattle, Toronto or any other previous home of the WWE's annual super-sized extravaganza, Wrestlemania and Hollywood are a perfect fit.
The WWE guys just don't bother with stunt-men. They do their own thing, like Edmonton's own Chris Benoit rising to the top of a 10-foot ladder and swan-diving his own head into a sprawled-out Kane. Forget the Oscars. That was an award winner with this sold-out motley crew.
As funnymen Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider looked on from the front row (the guy who played the evil Terminator in T2 was also present at a pre-show shindig), Benoit had his bid for a guaranteed title shot wiped out by a chair shot from Toronto boy Edge.
The second contest of the night, the "Money in the Bank" Ladder match, was the show stealer it was expected to be.
But nothing to that point - or anything else to come - would upstage the return of Hulk Hogan one night after being inducted into the WWE's Hall of Fame.
The Hulkster, who received a 10-minute standing ovation at the Universal Studios Ampitheatre, was greeted by thunderous applause for his in-ring appearance.
Fans lined up around Staples Center by mid-morning, wanting to see the arrival of their favourite superstars.
Like the wrestlers themselves, there were all shapes and sizes waiting for the doors to open. Some wore Lucha Libre masks, other were the spitting image of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin or Hogan.
They came from around the globe - Japan, England, Germany, Australia, a handful of Canucks and a couple from Dublin decked out in green and white Celtic jerseys.
"This is the greatest live show on Earth. It's the experience of a lifetime," said Kevin Cooke, who brought along his girlfriend Karen Doherty.
Cooke had promised her the trip to Hollywood if they were still together after he and friend attended last year's Wrestlemania in New York.
"I'm going to enjoy every minute of it," said Doherty. "We've been counting the days and it's so much better when you get here. All of our friends are watching this on TV at home at 2 a.m."
The couple were bound to have their fair share of friendly disagreements during the show.
He's a fan of the heels (bad guys) like John Bradshaw Layfield and Triple-H, while she was rooting for faces (good guys) John Cena and Batista.
Meanwhile, WWE Canada officials were delighted with the interest Edmonton fans are showing in the Smackdown! TV taping May 31 at Rexall Place. Ticket sales have hit the 5,000 mark - well ahead of most Smackdown! shows.

Dave Ullman Wins Acura Key West 2008
26 January 2008
Key West, Florida - The last day of racing at ACURA Key West 2008 presented by Nautica brought out the very best in the Melges 24 class. With an astounding on-the-water performance from Dave Ullman on Pegasus 505 with tactician Charlie Ogletree and crew of Andy Escort, Pablo Soldano and Brian Hutchinson they hammered out a 1-2-1 finish beating out four day leader Flavio Favini helming for Franco Rossini on Blu Moon. "It's nice to finish up with a good day of breeze and great sailing. It was a great day. We always like breeze because we always do well in the breeze," commented a very happy Ullman.
Dave has won five times in the Melges 24 at Key West and today he adds another trophy/title to his collection. A very dissappointed Favini had a tough day. Despite a nice recovery in the second race after being called over early, Favini's troubles intensified in the third race. They had trouble on the spinnaker hoist resulting in a tear in the chute. They quickly doused, changed out the spinnaker but it just wasn't enough to keep up with Ullman's impeccable boat speed.
Today's weather conditions were ideal for the Melges 24. The teams headed out to the course an hour earlier that originally planned in an effort to make up some races. The breeze was pumping — ranging 20-25 early on with 2-3 ft short chop. For the start of the last race of the regatta there were the usual over early suspects but for the most part the fleet launched clean off the starting line including Ullman favoring the pin, diligently working his way to the top mark rounding first. On the hoist Ullman punched it as he pulled ahead as far as ten boat lengths in front of the fleet. The next closest batch of competitors included Favini, John Pollard on Xcellent from the UK and Alan Field from Los Angeles, California on WTF. Ullman increased his lead substantially and went on to win the race.
With Ullman collecting the overall win, Favini in second, taking an impressive stand is Field in third overall. In fourth was 2008 Melges 24 Corinthian Champion Bruce Ayres on Monsoon from Newport Beach, California, fifth was Pollard, Brian Porter on Full Throttle was sixth and in seventh was Miles Quinton from the UK on Natural Mojo. Rounding out the top ten is Benoit Charon from France on Tresvalles.com in eighth, in ninth was Bora Gulari at the helm for Chuck Holzman on Flyer and in tenth is Simon Strauss on I Won Yoga.

Bruce Ayres from Newport Beach, California is the 2008 Melges 24 ACURA Key West Corinthian Champion. He and his steady crew of Jon Pinkney, Don Smith and James Malm have always been one to watch and the performance delivered this year was stellar. His outstanding results on Thursday moved him up the leader board. His slam dunk, first place finish in race two today sealed the deal moving him up to fourth overall. In second place was Argyle Campbell on Rock n' Roll and in third was 2007 Melges 24 Corinthian World Champion Othmar Mueller Von Blumencron on Gannet.
