Trinity Catholic football team hoping to clinch state playoff berth
It would be easy for the Trinity Catholic High School football team to succumb to the distractions of the past two weeks.
Though it may now seem like ages, it has been only 12 days since the Crusaders were 7-0, and there was serious talk of the team sharing an FCIAC championship.
Those dreams came crumbling down, first with a loss to Darien on a long pass in the final seconds, then with a 49-14 loss to St. Joseph.
Still, Trinity started preparation for this morning's regular-season finale at Wilton secure that with a win, it would earn a spot in the CIAC Class S playoffs for the first time since winning the title in 1993.
That road became greased on Tuesday, with the revelation that Westhill had to forfeit four victories for using an ineligible player. The Crusaders won the teams' meeting on the opening week of the season, but lost 30 valuable bonus points in the state's playoff scoring system.
Though it is currently ranked seventh and remains in a strong position, Trinity no longer is guaranteed it will still be playing beyond Thursday with a victory.
More InformationThe road to the playoffs Besides a win over Wilton, the Crusaders will need to pick up enough bonus points to finish in the top 8 in Class S to qualify for the tournament. The scenarios: They are too difficult to explain. But three direct outcomes will clinch a spot for the Crusaders: A New Canaan win over Darien, Seymour win over Woodland or a Rocky Hill win over Northwest Catholic. Help: There are over 20 games that could impact the Crusaders hopes, including four in the FCIAC. If New Canaan loses, other outcomes that would help: Fairfield Warde beating Fairfield Ludlowe, Warren Harding beating Bridgeport Central and Norwalk defeating Brien McMahon.
Trinity coach Pete Stokes declined on Tuesday to comment about the Westhill situation, and the more precarious position for his players.
Instead, Stokes said he was only concerned about the situation that could be controlled. He also said despite the two-game losing streak, the Crusaders' confidence has not been dented.
"I don't think so," Stokes said. "I think even with the loss to Darien, we talked and we didn't take a step back. They just made two more plays. Against St. Joseph, they are better. I didn't think Darien was better, they just made a couple of plays. St. Joseph really took it to us."
Stokes said he was encouraged by his team's efforts in practice since the St. Joseph game, calling Saturday's one of the best the team has had all year.
"The whole team is ready to go," said senior co-captain Cody Zaro. "We've been hurting since the two losses, but we put them behind us. It's definitely easier still having something to look forward to. There's even more motivation to get the win."
With the loss to Westhill vacated, Wilton is now 5-4 and has the chance to finish the season with a winning record. A 14-0 win last week over Fairfield Warde halted a three-game losing streak, if you include a 41-28 loss to Westhill prior to the infraction. The Warriors have been inconsistent, but still possess the means to spoil Trinity's holiday.
"We all know how good we are, and can be," Zaro said. "I think we just have to get back to playing Crusader football, which means hard-nosed defense and running the ball."
The Crusaders have averaged over 200 yards a game running the ball, with a three-headed attack led by Shaquan Howsie, one of the state's top running backs. Shawn Brown and Randy Polonia have been nice complements.
Prior to the two-game losing streak, the Crusaders had allowed just 15 points per game.
"Everything we wanted to achieve in August is still in front of us except for the FCIAC," Stokes said. "That was an attainable goal and we missed it."
The Crusaders will now look to end their season the way it started, then hope that one of the many scenarios in which they can qualify for the state tournament plays out.
"We can't make mistakes, we have to play clean football," Stokes said. "If we can get into the playoffs it would be great for the boys. It will show them with hard work what you can achieve. I think it would be tremendous for the school. The bird will taste a lot better in the afternoon if that comes true."

West Texas may be associated with wind and cactus but for cave divers, one of the most sought after sites in the country can be found in the middle of the Big Bend.
"It's not a place you expect to see cave dives much less deep cave dives occurring," said Dr. Tom Iliffe, a professor at Texas A&M Galveston and one of the world's leading cave biologists.
"We're very fortunate to be able to have the privileges to be able to go into this site," said Iliffe.
Last month, he lead a team of scientists to Phantom Springs Cave near Balmorhea, Texas. The sight is owned by the The Bureau of Reclamation and each year the bureau only issues two permits to dive into the environmentally sensitive cave.
"It's a special kind of people who do these very deep dives and it's very, very different from normal recreational scuba diving. Nothing like it at all," said Iliffe.
Their mission is to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life, and to boldly go where no one has gone before. Sounds like space, doesn't it.
"It's something that is indescribable. To be in a place that no human has ever been before, to see an animal no one even suspected existed," said Iliffe.
The first mile of the dive is considered shallow with depths of only 20 to 30 feet but the next 2,000 feet of the cave plummets into the Earth.
"We found that it immediately started dropping down deeper, deeper, and deeper. In stair step fashion."
After reaching a depth of 460 feet, the team had to turn around. Despite having state of the art diving technology, this was as far as they could possibly go.
"Shining our lights down the tunnel, there is no end in sight. It's something that leaves plenty of room for future exploration but we need new diving technology to go that deep and that far into an underwater cave system," said Iliffe.
Despite the journey into the depths only taking an hour, getting out of the cave takes another seven due to currents and decompression.
Iliffe does this with the hopes of finding new discoveries like others he has found in caves around the world. His discoveries have even been featured in National Geographic Magazine.
"Types of organisms that previously had been unknown from the planet and we're coming across. It's like going back and finding a dinosaur almost," said Iliffe.
It's all in the name of science and for Iliffe who definitely has to catch your breath after seeing such incredible sights.
"It's just a transcendental experience to go into these caves," said Iliffe.
Dr. Iliffe and his team will go over their findings of the Phantom Springs Cave over the next year and plan to return to the cave in the summer of 2014 to explore even deeper into its abyss.

This article is reprinted from The Official Ubuntu Book, 2nd Edition, by Benjamin Mako Hill and Jono Bacon, with permission of publisher Prentice Hall Professional, copyright 2007, all rights reserved. While instructions are specific for Ubuntu Linux, most commands will work with other Linux distributions.
Moving Around the Filesystem
Commands for moving around the filesystem include the following.
- pwd: The
pwdcommand allows you to know the directory in which you're located (pwd stands for "print working directory"). For example,
pwdin the desktop directory will show ~/Desktop. Note that the GNOME terminal also displays this information in the title bar of its window.
cd: The cd command allows you to change directories. When you open a terminal, you will be in your home directory. To move around the filesystem, use
• To navigate to your desktop directory, use
cd ~/Desktop
• To navigate into the root directory, use
cd /
• To navigate to your home directory, use
• To navigate up one directory level, use
cd ..
• To navigate to the previous directory (or back), use• To navigate through multiple levels of directories at once, use
cd -
cd /var/www, for example, which will take you directly to the /www subdirectory of /var.
Manipulating Files and Folders
You can manipulate files and folders by using the following commands.
- cp: The
cpcommand makes a copy of a file for you. For example,
cp file foomakes an exact copy of the file whose name you entered and names the copy foo, but the first file will still exist with its original name. After you use
mv, the original file no longer exists, but after you use
cp, that file stays and a new copy is made.
- mv: The mv command moves a file to a different location or renames a file. Examples are as follows:
mv file foorenames the original file to foo.
mv foo ~/Desktopmoves the file foo to your desktop directory but does not rename it. You must specify a new filename to rename a file.
To save on typing, you can substitute ~ in place of the home directory.Note: If you are using
sudo, you will not be able to use the ~ shortcut. Instead, you will have to use the full pathnames to your files.
- rm: Use this command to remove or delete a file in your directory. It does not work on directories that contain files.
- ls: The
lscommand shows you the files in your current directory. Used with certain options, it lets you see file sizes, when files where created, and file permissions. For example,
ls ~shows you the files that are in your home directory.
- mkdir: The
mkdircommand allows you to create directories. For example,
mkdir musiccreates a music directory.
chmod: ThePermissions are based on a fairly simple model. You can set permissions for user, group, and world, and you can set whether each can read, write, and/or execute the file. For example, if a file had permission to allow everybody to read but only the user could write, the permissions would read
chmodcommand changes the permissions on the files listed.
rwxr--r--. To add or remove a permission, you append a
+or a
-in front of the specific permission. For example, to add the capability for the group to edit in the previous example, you could type
chmod g+x file.
- chown: The
chowncommand allows the user to change the user and group ownerships of a file. For example,
chown jim filechanges the ownership of the file to Jim.
System Information Commands
System information commands include the following.
- df: The
dfcommand displays filesystem disk space usage for all partitions. The command
df-his probably the most useful. It uses megabytes (M) and gigabytes (G) instead of blocks to report. (
-hmeans "human-readable.")
- free: The
freecommand displays the amount of free and used memory in the system. For example,
free -mgives the information using megabytes, which is probably most useful for current computers.
- top: The
topcommand displays information on your Linux system, running processes, and system resources, including the CPU, RAM, swap usage, and total number of tasks being run. To exit
top, press Q.
- uname -a: The
unamecommand with the
-aoption prints all system information, including machine name, kernel name, version, and a few other details. This command is most useful for checking which kernel you're using.
lsb_release -a: The
lsb_releasecommand with the
-aoption prints version information for the Linux release you're running. For example:
user@computer:~$ lsb_release -a
LSB Version: n/a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu (The Breezy Badger Release)
Codename: breezy
- ifconfig: This reports on your system's network interfaces.
- iwconfig: The
iwconfigcommand shows you any wireless network adapters and the wireless-specific information from them, such as speed and network connected.
- ps: The
pscommand allows you to view all the processes running on the machine.
The following commands list the hardware on your computer, either of a specific type or with a specific method. They are most useful for debugging when a piece of hardware does not function correctly.
- lspci: The
lspcicommand lists all PCI buses and devices connected to them. This commonly includes network cards and sound cards.
- lsusb: The
lsusbcommand lists all USB buses and any connected USB devices, such as printers and thumb drives.
- lshal: The
lshalcommand lists all devices the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) knows about, which should be most hardware on your system.
- lshw: The
lshwcommand lists hardware on your system, including maker, type, and where it is connected.
Searching and Editing Text Files
Search and edit text files by using the following commands.
- grep: The
grepcommand allows you to search inside a number of files for a particular search pattern and then print matching lines. For example,
grep blah filewill search for the text "blah" in the file and then print any matching lines.
- sed: The
sed(or Stream EDitor) command allows search and replace of a particular string in a file. For example, if you want to find the string "cat" and replace it with "dog" in a file named pets, type
sed s/cat/dog/g pets.
Both grep and sed are extremely powerful programs. There are many excellent tutorials available on using them, but here are a few good Web sites to get you started:
Three other commands are useful for dealing with text.
- cat: The
catcommand, short for concatenate, is useful for viewing and adding to text files. The simple command
cat FILENAMEdisplays the contents of the file. Using
cat FILENAME fileadds the contents of the first file to the second.
- nano: Nano is a simple text editor for the command line. To open a file, use
nano filename. Commands listed at the bottom of the screen are accessed via pressing Ctrl followed by the letter.
- less: The
lesscommand is used for viewing text files as well as standard output. A common usage is to pipe another command through less to be able to see all the output, such as
ls | less.
Dealing with Users and Groups
You can use the following commands to administer users and groups.
- adduser: The
addusercommand creates a new user. To create a new user, simply type
sudo adduser $loginname. This creates the user's home directory and default group. It prompts for a user password and then further details about the user.
- passwd: The
passwdcommand changes the user's password. If run by a regular user, it will change his or her password. If run using sudo, it can change any user's password. For example,
sudo passwd joechanges Joe's password.
- who: The
whocommand tells you who is currently logged into the machine.
- addgroup: The
addgroupcommand adds a new group. To create a new group, type
sudo addgroup $groupname.
- deluser: The
delusercommand removes a user from the system. To remove the user's files and home directory, you need to add the
- delgroup: The
delgroupcommand removes a group from the system. You cannot remove a group that is the primary group of any users.
Getting Help on the Command Line
This section provides you with some tips for getting help on the command line. The commands
--help and
man are the two most important tools at the command line.
Virtually all commands understand the
-h (or
--help) option, which produces a short usage description of the command and its options, then exits back to the command prompt. Try
man -h or
man --help to see this in action.
Every command and nearly every application in Linux has a man (manual) file, so finding such a file is as simple as typing
man command to bring up a longer manual entry for the specified command. For example,
man mv brings up the
mv (move) manual.
Some helpful tips for using the man command include the following.
- Arrow keys: Move up and down the man file by using the arrow keys.
- q: Quit back to the command prompt by typing
- man man:
man manbrings up the manual entry for the
mancommand, which is a good place to start!
- man intro:
man introis especially useful. It displays the Introduction to User Commands, which is a well-written, fairly brief introduction to the Linux command line.
There are also info pages, which are generally more in-depth than man pages. Try
info info for the introduction to info pages.
Searching for Man Files
If you aren't sure which command or application you need to use, you can try searching the man files.
- man -k foo: This searches the man files for "foo". Try
man -k nautilusto see how this works.
man -k foois the same as the apropos command.
- man -f foo: This searches only the titles of your system's man files. Try
man -f gnome, for example.
man -f foois the same as the
Using Wildcards
Sometimes you need to look at or use multiple files at the same time. For instance, you might want to delete all .rar files or move all .odt files to another directory. Thankfully, you can use a series of wildcards to accomplish such tasks.
- * matches any number of characters. For example,
*.rarmatches any file with the ending .rar.
- ? matches any single character. For example, ?
.rarmatches a.rar but not ab.rar.
- [characters] matches any of the characters within the brackets. For example,
[ab].rarmatches a.rar and b.rar but not c.rar.
- [!characters] matches any characters that are not listed. For example,
[!ab].rarmatches c.rar but not a.rar or b.rar.
Executing Multiple Commands
Often you may want to execute several commands together, either by running one after another or by passing output from one to another.
Running Sequentially
If you need to execute multiple commands in sequence but don't need to pass output between them, there are two options based on whether or not you want the subsequent commands to run only if the previous commands succeed or not. If you want the commands to run one after the other regardless of whether or not preceding commands succeed, place a
; between the commands. For example, if you want to get information about your hardware, you could run
lspci ; lsusb, which would output information on your PCI buses and USB devices in sequence.
However, if you need to conditionally run the commands based on whether the previous command has succeeded, insert
&& between commands. An example of this is building a program from source, which is traditionally done with
./configure, make, and
make install. The commands
make and
make install require that the previous commands have completed successfully, so you would use
./configure && make && make install.
Passing Output
If you need to pass the output of one command so that it goes to the input of the next, after the character used between the commands, you need something called a pipe, which looks like a vertical bar or pipe (
To use the pipe, insert the
| between each command. For example, using the
| in the command
ls | less allows you to view the contents of the
ls more easily.
Moving to More Advanced Uses of the Command Line
There are a great number of good books out there for working the command line. In addition, because most of the command line has not changed in many years, a large body of information is available on the Internet. If you need help with something, often simply searching for the command will turn up what you need.
To get you started, here are some recommendations.
- A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors and Shell Programming by Mark G. Sobell (Prentice Hall, 2005) is a good book for any user of the shell in Linux to have on his or her bookshelf.
- LinuxCommand.org is an excellent Web site designed to help people new to using the command line.
- The Linux Documentation Project is an excellent and free resource for many things Linux.

2012 Melges 24 North American Championship Online Entry Now Open
19 June 2012
Online entry for the 2012 Melges 24 North American Championship, to be hosted by The San Francisco Yacht Club from 22-26 August 2012, is now open at the Event Website. The oldest North American Yacht Club west of the Mississippi, The San Francisco Yacht Club is widely recognized as the premiere yachting facility on the US West Coast. Its tranquil waterfront setting in beautiful Belvedere Cove, with extensive shoreside and marina facilities and a stunning view of the San Francisco skyline, is the perfect venue for major championships and the club has a well-established relationship with the Melges 24 Class.
Racing for the North American Championship will take place on San Francisco Bay's legendary Berkeley Circle, an easy sail from the club's marina. San Francisco's famous strong wind sailing conditions are the perfect match for the Melges 24 and the Class is thrilled to be returning to this ever popular venue.
With teams traveling from across the US as well as from Australia, Japan, Chile and Europe for the regatta, the standard of competition is expected to be extremely high. The US west coast Melges 24 fleets have seen an enthusiastic resurgence of interest in recent years and alongside the familiar faces there will be plenty of new names looking to challenge the old guard for this biennial title.
In the build up to the regatta the United States Melges 24 Class has created a full program of west coast events aimed at making the road to the North American Championship as easy as possible. The trail kicks off this weekend with the CSR Marine US National Championship in Seattle from 15-17 June. On July 7 teams have the opportunity to sail on San Francisco Bay with the second event in the Silver Cup series, run by The San Francisco Yacht Club. On August 3-5 the teams will take part in the US Pacific Coast Championship, being run in association with the Columbia Gorge One Design Regatta at Cascade Locks, Oregon. Then on August 18-19 San Francisco Melges Race Week, hosted by The San Francisco Yacht Club, will act as the official warm up event for the North Americans. For those based in the San Francisco area there is also a series of Class regattas with much of the racing located on the Berkeley Circle. Full details of these regattas can be found at www.usmelges24.com.
"Making it easy for the sailors to attend is key to the success of our regattas" explains USMCA President Chris Farkas. "With the schedule this year we've aimed to insure that our members can enjoy great racing and maximum fun along with minimal hassle and lowest possible expense. Recognizing that everyone's time is limited we've responded to the members' needs by fitting the North American Championship into a long weekend, and we've programmed the warm-up events to keep mileage to a minimum and racing to a maximum. And to add to the excitement on San Francisco Bay, the America's Cup World Series will be held the same weekend, providing another great viewing choice for friends and family."
This year's North American Championship is the first step on the road to the 2013 Melges 24 World Championship, which will be hosted by The San Francisco Yacht Club from 30 September to 5 October 2013. Further details of that event will be available shortly via www.melges24.com.
"We're thrilled to be hosting both the 2012 North American and 2013 World Championship for the International Melges 24 Class. Our association with the fleet goes back many years and we've been honored to play a part in the recent resurgence of the local fleet by providing great racing venues as a run up to the championship events. We have a hugely experienced team who are raring to go and we're looking forward to two fantastic events." Says The San Francisco Yacht Club's Regatta Chair Angie Lackey Olson.
The San Francisco Yacht Club and the San Francisco Melges 24 Fleet are ready and waiting to welcome competitors and offer any assistance or advice needed. The Notice of Race is published and Online Entry is now open with an entry deadline of 30th July (late entries will be accepted but will be subject to a 50% late entry surcharge). The Event Website also carries lots of useful supporting information including accommodation details and logistics information.

Rigid Industries Suction Cup Light Kit- Lights In A PinchPosted in Product Reviews on December 20, 2013
Rigid Industries' new suction cup light kit is one of the smartest light products we've seen in some time. It's not complicated. It's not using any new technology. It simply takes an existing product and makes an innovative tool that can be used for any number of lighting needs.
The suction cup mount kit contains a mounting plate that holds either two small SR-M LED lights or one SR-Q LED light to be mounted on any smooth surface (a window or painted hood, for example) using three suction cups and a wiring harness that plugs into the 12-volt cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle.
It's completely universal to any vehicle, and provides a good amount of light wherever it is pointed, using only a few amps of power.
How Does it Work?
Installation time of this suction cup light kit onto your vehicle takes about 30 seconds, including getting in your vehicle to plug the harness in.
The lighting performance of two little LED lights powered through a cigarette-lighter plug was remarkable. Thanks to the SR-M2 diffused light, we had more surrounding light to see objects around us, while the SR-M2 driving light gave about as much distance as our low-beam headlights, but with a nicer, whiter light.
While we wouldn't recommend racing at night with the suction cup light kit, it is more than enough for any nighttime trail ride or to light up your camp.

'How much of a red flag is it that both Portland and Buffalo went out early in the first round of their respective playoffs? REGIER: I wouldn't… Portland is a very different animal. That is about developing players and that is about process. That team, briefly, we had eight rookies on that team. They and the coaching staff there, that team from the trainers to the coaching staff, that organization, the ownership, did a tremendous job in their development of those kids. You saw Tyler Ennis. He had a terrific year, won Rookie of the Year in the American Hockey League. Nathan Gerbe was there, we have a group of I think very good, young defensemen coming. And that's part of the process for them so everything there is very positive.'

Oh, and he already has played for the Pens.
He will never be anything more than a fill in. Sorry.
I didn't mean to offend you. No hard feelings?
Not sure if you know, but Brent led the WBS Baby Pens in scoring this year.
And he was their captain I believe, but let's not forget that last year when he was with the Ducks, he wasn't even welcomed to practice with the Black Aces when playoffs came around. Maybe he COULD wind up as a Jeff Taffe kind of a guy at some point, but, just IMO, he is not the kind of guy who will wind up with the Pens playing consistently, but I could well be wrong.
Yeah, the translation of AHL success to the NHL is far from certain. For example, Nathan Smith carried the puck for WBS on the PP often times from what I could tell. Can you see Smith filling that role in the NHL?

Feb. 10, 2008
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. - In an effort to prepare for the postseason, MIT's 18th-ranked men's swimming and diving team competed at the Middlebury Invitational on Saturday afternoon at Middlebury College. The event was a non-scoring meet featuring teams from the 23rd-ranked host Panthers, No. 6 Williams College, Tufts University and Wheaton College, and served as a warm-up for teams prior to their conference championships.
The Engineers got the meet off to a perfect start with a victory in the 200-yard medley relay, as sophomores Jeff Zhou, Rastislav Racz and Luke Cummings teamed up with junior Laurent Charpentier to clock in at 1:36.96.
Charpentier followed up his relay performance with two individual victories, in the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly. The Aigues-Mortes, France native led a 1-2 finish for the Cardinal and Gray in the 50-yard freestyle, as he touched the wall at 22:02, just ahead of teammate Zhou, who clocked in at 22.23. Junior Peter Wellings also finished in a tie for fourth with a time of 22.36, completing MIT's dominance of the event. Charpentier was then triumphant in the 100-yard butterfly, winning the race in 53.18. He was followed in third-place by teammate Toomas Sepp (54.15).
Racz had what was perhaps the Engineers' most remarkable performance of the afternoon, winning the 200-yard breaststroke by an incredible seven seconds. The sophomore sensation finished the swim in 2:08.48, good enough for an NCAA "B" cut.
Also victorious for MIT was Deke Hu, who won the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:01.15. He was followed by Kalvin Kao in third-place (1:02.24), while Cummings, John Walk, Trace Sauter and Sepp finished 5-8, respectively, giving the Engineers six of the top eight swimmers.
Freshman Michael Dobson picked up the Cardinal and Gray's final victory, as he touched the wall at 1:44.79 in the 200-yard freestyle. The rookie also had the top time in the mixed 1,650-yard freestyle (16:58.54), a race which only saw MIT swimmers compete.
The Engineers will now have nearly three weeks to mentally prepare for the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship, which will take place over the course of three days from Friday, Feb. 29 to Sunday, Mar. 2, and will be hosted by MIT.

Jens Dantorp will aim to follow in the footsteps of his friend Kristoffer Broberg and keep the Rolex Trophy title in Swedish hands after grabbing a share of the lead on the third day in Geneva.
Dantorp posted a flawless round of 66 at Golf de Genève to move to 16 under par alongside the in-form Portuguese José-Filipe Lima, who had signed for the same score earlier in the day.
Having turned in 34 courtesy of birdies at the 12th and 17th holes, the Swede added further gains at the first and second, where he sunk a 25-footer across the green. After picking up a further shot at the fifth hole, Dantorp holed another huge putt at the eighth for his sixth and final birdie of the day.
He said: "The only time I was in any trouble was on the third hole, where I hit a great bunker shot to get up and down for par. Other than that, I played very solid golf. I made a lot of chances so could have gone even lower, but I also holed two big putts so I can't really complain too much.
"I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, but of course it would be great to win after Kristoffer's victory here last year. I travelled a lot with Kristoffer last year, so I got to know him better and it was amazing what he achieved. I don't think I'm going to get close to his winning score [of 26 under par] – that was something special.
"Depending on the weather, I think 21 under will probably win the tournament – although 20 under may be enough. But whatever happens tomorrow, I feel like I've turned a corner this week, which gives me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season. I haven't hit the ball any better but my focus has been so much better, so hopefully I can climb into top 15 of the Rankings and stay there."
If he is to capture his debut Challenge Tour title, Dantorp will need to fend off the attentions of Lima, who has eyed another luxury timepiece to add to his watch collection.
Lima already has two Rolex watches in his 12-strong collection, but is in prime position to add a third after moving to 16 under par with a round of 66.
Both the winner of this week's limited-field tournament and the player posting the lowest round receive a brand new watch courtesy of the sponsors, meaning Lima has two chances of winning one of the highly-prized timepieces on what promises to be an exciting finale to the elite €228,000 event.
The 31 year old, currently second in the Challenge Tour Rankings, said: "I played similar to yesterday, although the conditions were probably a bit easier. I didn't hole that many putts, but I hit a lot of good shots so I'm really happy with the way I'm playing.
"My all-round game is just very solid at the moment, I'm probably playing the most consistent golf of my whole career. I'm making much less mistakes than I used to – of course I still hit a bad shot every now and then, but even when I do I don't miss by that much, which makes it easier to recover. I'm also hitting the ball further with my irons and my distance control is also better now, so I feel very comfortable out on the course.
"Of course I don't want to think too far ahead because this game can change so quickly, but if I can keep playing the way I have, I would be confident of finishing the job tomorrow. I don't really have a target in mind – my main focus is to try to beat Daniel Gaunt's lowest round [of 62 on the first day] so that I can win the Rolex, because I love watches."
Spaniard Adrian Otaegui is in third place on 15 under par after shooting a round of 66 which included eight birdies. Local hero Damian Ulrich shot the lowest round of the day, a 65 to climb to fourth place on 13 under par, one shot ahead of Denmark's Thomas Norret (69) in fifth.

CHICAGO – Rita Crundwell's attorneys are appealing the length of her sentence, among other things, according to court documents filed last week.
U.S. District Court Judge Philip G. Reinhard sentenced the ousted Dixon comptroller to 19 years, 7 months for wire fraud on Feb. 14.
The appeal will be handled by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, based in Chicago. A hearing has not been set.
The defense had 14 days from the day of sentencing to appeal the judge's orders, which included the length of her sentence, how much restitution she must pay, and how she would pay it.
Defense attorney Paul Gaziano declined to say exactly what the appeal covers.
Crundwell still awaits word from the Federal Bureau of Prisons on where she will serve her sentence. For the time being, she is in the Boone County Jail. She will remain in custody during the appeal. She must serve at least 85 percent of the sentence – about 16 1/2 years. Once released, she will serve three years of supervision.
She also was ordered to pay back $53,740,394 that she admitted to stealing from the city over two decades. Sales of her assets are predicted to bring about $10.5 million for the city.
Crundwell also faces theft charges in Lee County. In that case, her public defender filed a motion last week to have charges dismissed, citing potential double jeopardy.

Love the new look of your website - and especially your banner photo - gotta figure out how to make one of those! Thank you so much for the mention. I think our websites are kinda like dollhouses/train sets - so much fun to play around with, rearrange, make work in different ways. I'll be keeping an eye on Jenny-ology (which I have been doing, anyway, especially for research toolbox ideas). For the future I can see us playing with pictures, maps, timelines, videos, etc.

Yesterday I read Linda McCauley's blog about how important it was to have a website and why. I'd looked at Weebly when you first posted about your new toolbox there and I had bookmarked your site. Yesterday when I went to check it out again I saw how much you had changed it and I was inspired to go ahead with it and set up my own website. I worked all afternoon on it and I've learned a lot and it's starting to shape up. I've looked at Greta's too so I guess I'm getting ideas from both of you. I was glad to see you'd just posted on your blog about your changes on your website...great timing for me, thanks!

During late January and early February of 1998, the California Coast was hit by a series of powerful El Niño winter storms. At least 27 counties in California were declared National Disaster Areas, with hundreds of millions of dollars in property losses. Large waves, which coincided with high tides and elevated sea levels, produced severe beach erosion.
USGS researchers and students from University of California at Santa Cruz have been conducting beach surveys and monitoring changes in coastal morphology since early October 1997. Up to 4 meters of vertical beach loss was measured on several Monterey Bay beaches between October and mid-February and many beaches were completely submerged during high tides. Historical structures that had been buried since 1983, such as wharf pilings, old seawalls, and trolley car trestles, became emergent on several Monterey Bay beaches.
Coastal protection structures emplaced following the 1982-83 El Niño winter were mostly successful in mitigating coastal property loss due to wave attack and inundation. Most property damage was the result of the high rainfall amounts which caused flooding and landslides.

- 4 cups sliced carrots
- 4 cups fresh green beans cut in 1 inch pieces (a little more than a pound)
- 6-8 slices of bacon
- 1 medium onion chopped
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- Cook carrots and green beans in boiling water until barely tender crisp, don't overcook, they'll finish cooking in the oven. Drain veggies.
- Add a dash of salt and pepper to season. Pour into a pretty casserole dish.
- Fry bacon until crispy, crumble and set aside.
- Sauté onion in the bacon drippings until soft and golden.
- Mix crumbled bacon and onion into beans and carrots.
- Sprinkle with brown sugar and drizzle with melted butter.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Veggies will roast, butter browns, sugar caramelizes…STIR before serving.
Terri's Notes
~ YUM, the kids will eat their veggies, grownups too!
~ Fresh green beans are key.
~ You can use the pre-cooked bacon strips-dice it up, crisp it up in the fry pan, then sauté the onions in a little butter or olive oil.
~ Prep veggies and onion mix the day before. Pour into casserole and just 'warm' it in the microwave before you pop it into the oven.

Cloud computing is now being embraced by a majority of enterprises of all sizes. Yesterday's debate about public vs. private has transformed into the reality of hybrid cloud: a recent survey shows that 74% of enterprises have a hybrid cloud strategy. Meanwhile, 94% of enterprises are using some form of XaaS - software, platform, and infrastructure as a service.
With major technology companies and startups seriously embracing Cloud strategies, now is the perfect time to attend and learn what is going on, contribute to the discussions, and ensure that your enterprise is on the right path to Digital Transformation.
Every Global 2000 enterprise in the world is now integrating cloud computing in some form into its IT development and operations. Midsize and small businesses are also migrating to the cloud in increasing numbers.

The now mainstream platform changes stemming from the first Internet boom brought many changes but didn't really change the basic relationship between servers and the applications running on them. In fact, that was sort of the point.

High Availability in Cloud with @LeeAtchison | @CloudEXPO @NewRelic #Cloud #CIO #Serverless #DevOps #APM #DigitalTransformation
When building large, cloud-based applications that operate at a high scale, it's important to maintain a high availability and resilience to failures. In order to do that, you must be tolerant of failures, even in light of failures in other areas of your application. "Fly two mistakes high" is an old adage in the radio control airplane hobby. It means, fly high enough so that if you make a mistake, you can continue flying with room to still make mistakes. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Lee A...

Yet, despite this portability promise, developers may include configuration and application definitions that constrain or even eliminate application portability. In this session we'll describe best practices for "configuration as code" in a Kubernetes environment. We will demonstrate how a properly constructed containerized app can be deployed to both Amazon and Azure ...

I go to Itunes and get the top 40 that have been turned into workout tracks- 140bpm or something like that. Then you get your stride in rhythm with the music and just give 'er. I hear you on the slowing metabolism thing... wait until you're in your 30's - it gets even worse. I'm finding the older I get, the lazier I get, and the less I care. Usually I'm good if I can make myself get ON the machine and turn on my music.
Best of luck!

Time to pack up the stuff and go to the beach.
A day on the warm sand with a cool breeze is what is called for.
I just have to forget the storms that are braeking out all over the place.
How's about some salami sandwiches - olives, pickles, onions on a hard roll with a spicy mustard, mayo or oil and vinegar.........some sliced fruit on the side and rum punch?
We'll do a seafood bake when the sun goes down and finish it off with a S'more?

General Info
Columbus Breast Surgery
Breast Surgery Related Terms:
Body Procedures, Boobs Job, Boobs Lift, Bosom Lift, Breast, Breast Augmentation, Breast Enlargement, Breast Implants, Breast Lift, Breast Procedures, Chest, Correction Of Breast Asymmetry, Cosmetic Surgery, Gynecomastia Surgery, Implant Removal, Male Breast Reduction, Mastopexy, Plastic Surgery
Breast surgery is a very broad term that encompasses a variety of breast procedures like breast augmentation with the use of implants, breast reduction and repositioning of the nipple or areola. This is a form of plastic surgery also known in Columbus, Ohio (OH) as cosmetic surgery.
Reasons for undergoing Breast Surgery in Columbus, Ohio (OH)
There are a number of reasons for people to opt for breast surgery. It can range from having asymmetrical breasts to having heavy and sagging breasts. In today's world, looks play a very important role, be it for a man or a woman. Women with flat chests can opt for breast augmentation which can help make them fuller and increase their glamour quotient. For men with a heavy chest and women with large breasts, breast reduction helps them breathe a sigh of relief.
Points to consider before opting for breast surgery in Columbus, Ohio (OH).
Breast Surgery - Preparation
The prospect that this type of plastic surgery can work wonders tempts people to go under the knife at least once. However, there are a few points that you will need to consider before reaching the surgery table in Columbus, Ohio (OH). First of all, you have to ensure that you are mentally and emotionally prepared to undergo the breast procedure you intend to opt for. You should have realistic expectations and understand the results are not going to be permanent.
Breast Surgery in Columbus, Ohio (OH) - Choice of Surgeon
The second point is to find a good, well-known surgeon. Thanks to the amount of money this surgery brings in, a lot of doctors in Columbus, Ohio (OH) are available who claim to be the best in their field. However, not all of them stay true to their claim. Hence, you will need to get good reviews and feedback about the surgeon you intend to go in for. If possible, have a talk with one of their patients and find out how the entire experience was. This will also help you get prepared for what is to come. Once you have done your homework and found a good surgeon, your job is half done.
Breast Surgery - Post operative Care
This is a very important aspect of breast procedures which most people tend to neglect. You need to have someone by your side to assist you for a few days post the surgery. You will need to adhere to the surgeon's advice and go in for regular check-ups in order to avoid complications.

[Via Disney Channel Press Release...]
Disney Channel has ordered a third season of "Austin & Ally," TV's
#1 comedy series in Kids 2-11, it was announced today by Adam Bonnett,
Senior Vice President, Original Programming, Disney Channels Worldwide.
The series stars Ross Lynch, Laura Marano, Raini Rodriguez and Calum
Worthy. Production resumes in Los Angeles in July, with Season Three

as Austin's music career kicks into full gear and Ally's begins to take
flight. This ensemble cast -- Ross Lynch, Laura Marano, Raini Rodriguez
and Calum Worthy -- has incredible comedic chemistry and charm that
continues to win audiences over."
A fan favorite, "Austin & Ally" follows the adventures of an
improbable pair -- a singer and a songwriter, and their two best friends
-- trying to achieve their dreams. Austin, now making his mark as an
upcoming pop star, must rely on the songwriting expertise of Ally, who
is fast becoming a bona fide performer in her own right.
"Austin & Ally" is TV's #1 series in Kids 2-11 (2.3 million/5.9
rating), Kids 6-11 (1.9 million/8.1 rating) and Tweens 9-14 (1.8
million/7.7 rating). The series hit a series ratings high among Tweens
during the quarter and delivered its #2 telecast of all time in Total
Viewers, Kids 2-11 and Kids 6-11.
Created by Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert ("Good Burger," "Kenan &

Band," "George Lopez"), the series stars musician and actor Ross Lynch
as Austin, actress Laura Marano ("Without a Trace," "Back to You") as
Ally, Raini Rodriguez (Disney's "Prom," "I'm in the Band") as Trish and

views on VEVO. Additionally, fans continued to show their support and
creativity by creating one million "unique" versions of the interactive

Miley Cyrus Turns Her Camera on a Walking, Stalking Paparazzo [VIDEO]
Always the victim of overzealous photographers trying to get that million dollar pic, Miley Cyrus has clearly had enough of these people getting to bend the rules in ways she is too famous to do herself.
So when she caught an able-bodied pap driving a car with a handicapped designation, parking in a handicapped spot and then running in front of her to snap photos while she walked her dogs, she decided it was time for the world to see the truth.
Sometimes celebs get a pass in the judicial system, but the reverse can be true as well. Nobody cares if a shutterbug gets a ticket. He's of no interest to us. But, as Miley astutely pointed out, "If I park in a handicap spot because of these people, I get reported on the news."
And so Cyrus documented a photographer doing what she isn't allowed to, and provided running commentary along the way. Apparently this guy drove at high speed through a residential neighborhood -- endangering pedestrians, kids and dogs -- before finally stopping in a parking place he shouldn't have been using to get his photo op.
Miley's hardly the first celeb to have trouble with paps who bend (or outright break) the law while behind the wheel. Is there really no way to get good pictures without driving like a douche? This guy couldn't have found somewhere else to park along this quiet street? And really, exactly how interesting are photos of Miley Cyrus walking her dogs?
We'll just wait for the next time she takes the stage with strippers, thanks. It's a lot more compelling, and nothing but our eyes gets hurt in the process.

Police: Nashville student shot, killed trying to protect his family during home invasion
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) - A teenager is dead after a home invasion turned shooting on Capitol Point overnight Tuesday.
The victim has been identified as Ja'Donte Thompson, 17. Thompson's grandmother fought back tears just hours after her grandson's death to say the person that pulled the trigger is in her prayers. See her full interview here.
According to witnesses, a family of four, including a grandfather, step-dad, mom and 17-year-old, were inside the home and asleep when two men in their 30s broke in yelling "where is it at." Police believe the suspects mistook the home for a drug house. Detectives found no evidence of drugs, money or weapons inside.
The suspects kicked in the back door and went upstairs. One suspect had his face covered and the other did not. One of the suspects, armed with a handgun, fired several shots, hitting a 17-year-old male in the chest after he struggled with the gunmen trying to protect his family. The gunman also pistol whipped the step-dad.
The suspects remain on the run, however, surveillance video from across the street may give police some clues. Police say the gunmen didn't steal anything.
Police said the suspects are described as being in their late 20's to 30's. Police said one gunman was described as wearing a red beanie, red jacket and appeared to be intoxicated, while the other suspect wore all black.
The victim was taken to Vanderbilt Medical Center where he died. Thompson was a student at Hillsboro High. Grief counselors will be on hand Wednesday to help students cope with the tragic loss.
MNPS is saddened to learn about the tragic death of a 17-year-old Hillsboro High School student. He enrolled at Hillsboro this fall and previously attended East Nashville Magnet School. And though he wasn't at the school long, he had a positive impact on his classmates, teachers and staff. He planned to join Hillsboro's DECA chapter and baseball team. Teachers said he had model behavior and was a good example of an aspiring leader. This is a tragic case of senseless violence that has saddened all of us here at Metro Nashville Public Schools, and particularly the staff and students at Hillsboro and East High Schools. The district is providing grief counselors to support students and faculty. Our deepest sympathy is extended to the family during their time of grief. - Metro Nashville Public Schools
The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 615-742-7463.
