Usenix/Uselinux in Anaheim
Here I am at Usenix at the Mariott Hotel in Anaheim. Actually, it is pleasant to be in nice weather after almost drowning in Seattle. It had rained here the day before so the air was actually clean. But, let me talk about the show instead of the weather.
Usenix is a five-day show that, this year, has a heavy Linux presence. For those not familiar with Usenix, it has been the "wear a tie and get laughed at" Unix show for years. It is technical and tends to draw a very seriously technical crowd.
It is broken up into tutorials, a trade show and a technical conference. Well, plus the informal beer drinking sessions and such.
The first two days are tutorials and I elected to attend an all-day tutorial on the Linux 2.0 kernel presented by Stephen Tweedie. I found it to be excellent and that seemed to be the general opinion of the approximately 125 people who attended.
In eight hours and 170 overheads, Stephen addressed four specific areas of the kernel: memory management, the scheduler, filesystems and I/O and networking. I feel the goal of the talk, "to be with the design and algorithms behind the Linux kernel and to be able to read the Linux source code with some understanding" was met. While Stephen did not necessarily expect attendees to be familiar with Unix systems programming, the more you knew about Unix the easier it was to understand the presentation. After all, learning everything about a new operating system in eight hours is quite a challenge.
On Tuesday, Ted T'so gave a tutorial on writing device drivers under Linux. This talk was attended by about 60 students. I elected to take Tuesday as a day to catch up on LJ work and make a run to Fry's Electronics to see if they carry Linux Journal. They don't—which makes no sense as Fry's is exactly the kind of place a Linux geek would want to go.
Tuesday evening started with free food and drink. This is one of the best ways to get geeks talking. The Marriott did a great job with an array of food carts with various choices including fruit, veggies, potato patties, nachos, hamburgers and hot dogs. There were also drink and dessert carts. They even had my drug of choice, Dr. Pepper.
There were Birds-of-a-Feather sessions scheduled from 6PM to 10PM. The two Linux ones were scheduled at the same time, both at 7PM. As I already know a lot about Caldera Linux I elected to go to the talk on Electronic Design Automation (EDA). Peter Collins, manager of software services for Exemplar Logic, headed the BoF and talked about how his company had done an NT port but now had a Linux port. He pointed out that EDA grew up on Unix-based systems like Suns and the capabilities of Linux were a better fit for current EDA users.
The trade show started on Wednesday. While this was not a Linux-specific trade show, Linux had a large presence. Linux vendors included Caldera, EST (makers of the BRU backup utility), InfoMagic, Linux International, Red Hat, Walnut Creek CDROM, WorkGroup Solutions and Yggdrasil. Plus, of course, our booth where we were giving away sample copies of Linux Journal. Lots of other vendors came by to talk about Linux and the Linux products they sell.
Linux interest was very high. While Usenix is a geek conference, these are mostly professional geeks who are making serious technical decisions for real companies. I answered many "It seems like Linux could do this" inquiries.
Within the trade show I think SSC offered the biggest hit. We just finished our new "fences" T-shirt. We sold out of the shirts in about four hours on the first day. This gave me the feeling that I was at the right show—not one where Microsoft was being honored.
On Wednesday afternoon we proved how significant the Linux interest/presence was. Linus was scheduled to talk on the future of Linux in a fairly large room, which soon filled up, with standees everywhere—including the hall outside. Usenix quickly offered to move the crowd into a much larger hall.
The talk went well as Linus explained new features and new ideas. I won't bore you with details. The important thing is that the goal is world domination. To some this sounded like humor. Maybe it was. Only time will tell. In the meantime, building a superior product can't hurt.
Wednesday evening was a time for more Linux sessions. I attended one called The Classroom of the Future that showed how an experimental program brought the Internet to K-12 schools in Ireland. I also attended another called The Future of the Linux Desktop, missing Greg Wettstein's talk on perceptions. [see Greg's article "Linux in the Trenches" in LJ #5, September 1994—Ed.]
Thursday was another day of talks and trade show. Peter Struijk, SSC's "head nerd" managed to make it to Victor Yodaiken's presentation on real-time Linux [see LJ #34, February 1997] and a talk on the /proc file system by Stephen Tweedie. In the evening, I hosted a session on embedded, turnkey and real-time systems and intended to make it to Developing Linux-based electronic markets for Internet Trading Experiments but ended up talking with some of the attendees of my session instead.
The evening ended with a short talk about Linux and reality with Stephen Tweedie and then a trip back to the hotel room to finish up this column. Then, if I run out of things to do I may actually get some sleep.
Friday offered a day of Uselinux business talks. However, the combination of editorial deadlines and exhaustion means you won't get to read about it here.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

DAKAR, April 10 (Reuters) - Senegal's economy is expected to grow by 4 percent in 2013 from 3.5 percent the previous year while inflation should remain below 2 percent, the International Monetary Fund said on Wednesday.
The multilateral lender, which has just completed a mission to review Senegal's policy support programme with the Fund, said the West African country must prioritize efforts to reduce its fiscal deficit.
'Notwithstanding the sluggish international environment, GDP growth is expected to tick up to 4 percent in 2013,' the Fund said in a statement.
'However, deficit reduction will be slightly lower than expected in 2013, to allow for non recurrent expenditures associated with the security situation in Mali and the Sahel,', it said.
Senegal's current account deficit worsened, rising to 10 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) last year.
Senegal has sent over 500 troops to Mali as part of the West African regional bloc ECOWAS effort to help its neighbor fight Islamist insurgents who had occupied the north of the country.
The IMF mission voiced concern at a huge energy subsidy bill which stood at more than 160 billion CFA francs ($319.17 million) in 2012.
The IMF has urged countries in the region to cut fuel subsidies, which it said are inefficient and do not directly benefit the poor.
'The mission believes that this burden is difficult to bear for public finances...and encouraged the authorities to phase out these subsidies,' the statement said.
Senegal has regular power cuts and high fuel prices are a very sensitive problem which has triggered riots in the recent past. ($1 = 501.3040 CFA francs)

Q 350 - Product support
These headphones deliver 'high-accuracy sound with outstanding dynamics and bass response' that we promise will impress the boys.
Unit of sale: | each |
Model Number: | Q350GRN |
The sound in my headphones is not correct when I use it in a normal stereo headphone output, or use an adapter plug from 3,5 mm to 6.3 mm jack. I have headphones with remote control and microphone for iPhone on the cable.
Please note that all headphones with 4-pole jack may produce sound that is in mono, is out of phase or is otherwise distorted, if they are connected to ordinary stereo headphone outputs. 4-pole jack headphones are made to control iPhones or other smartphones, to permit phone conversations through the microphone as well as remote controlling of the telephone with the remote buttons, all built into the cable. You usually have to purchase an adapter cable to use them with other stereo sources. This adapter converts the 4-pole male 3.5 mm jack into a 3-pole male 3,5mm jack.
The remote control on my headphone cord does not work with my smartphone.
This problem is sometimes caused by lint and dust collecting in the headphone socket on the smartphone. Please check, and if dust and lint is collected in the hole, carefully remove it with a toothpick or needle. If this does not help, a defect may exist. Also be aware that remote control and microphone made for Apple products do not function with Android products.

Rookie Gerald McCoy will be paying close attention to his former quarterback for the next few weeks.
According to ESPN, the St. Louis Rams and reps for Sam Bradford started contract negotiations today. Bradford, the first overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, is looking at a record-breaking payday.
The former Sooners quarterback's expected payday in guaranteed money should be between $45-50 million.
This is big news for McCoy because the same agent, CAA's Ben Dogra, represents both players. A deal in place for Bradford would help to get the ball rolling for McCoy and his contract.
McCoy, selected out of Oklahoma with the third overall pick by the Buccaneers, has stated that he would like to report to training camp on time, which starts July 31st.
With that being said, expect McCoy and the Bucs to commence contract talks within the next week or so with McCoy looking at a substantial sum of money. He will be looking at something close to what defensive tackle Tyson Jackson received last year - a five-year, $57 million contract.

I say tell the media that CJ will run more in this game. I hope that Wade falls for the trap, and we play action them to death.
Semantics? Really? Could be a .67 YPC. Careful what you wish for. Doesn't take much to be worse either.
It is what it is. And I still think that a better Oline would help him immensely. He isn't heavy enough to pile into the line and get yardage. That's the way it is. If the line would do the job they were hired to do, things might look a little different.
Why not look for change? To me there is no difference in a run for -3 and -1.. So if we plug in Harper or any other RB, it can't get that much worse, can it?
Just saying that even 2 ypc would be better than the 1.4 we're currently getting. And that would be an improvement. But wouldn't mean our run game is magically fixed. My point is that we honestly can't do much worse. If we were to put Reynaud or Harper in there and they averaged 1.0ypc how much worse is that really in the grand scheme of things. Just try SOMETHING. Anything. And plugging in a new RB is the easiest, most realistic option. If you go messing with the OL you're sacrificing pass block production. IMO ANY runner who will not dance around would be better behind this line than CJ. Few questions: 1. Do you think it's out of the question that one of our other backs could average more than 1.4 ypc behind this line? 2. If you think they could, would you rather not have that >1.4 over CJ's 1.4? (regardless of how minimal of an improvement it is) 3. Why would you not want to at least give it a shot and see what happens? If you give Reynaud/Harper/Ringer/whoever 10 carries a game and they're sucking just as bad as CJ then so be it. At least you tried, even if for only one game. This sticking with the same gameplan/lineup over and over and over despite ABSOLUTE FAILURE is pure insanity.
MM and the FO are askerd shiteless about finding out. Cause if we all see that another RB is actually better it makes them all look pretty real dumb for paying the little guy all that CAP
No doubt. OL is a HUGE part of the problem. But it's a complacent, Fisher-instilled mentality to just say "it is what it is" and not try anything different. That's loser talk. CJ has shown poor vision and poor effort through 3 weeks. If you don't see that then you're just not paying close attention to the games. I just cannot comprehend this attitude of accepting a PISS-POOR run game and not even wanting to attempt another approach.
I'm starting to believe this is actually the case. They WANT him to be CJ2K again just as badly as CJ does. Despite the obvious signs that it won't be happening. They don't want to look like fools. Who here actually thinks "History Deal" would still be getting 95% of the carries if not for his contract?

Farmer | Normalroute from Ishinca basecamp Date Climbed: Jun 15, 2013 | |
Nice walk | ||
Posted Sep 8, 2013 1:07 pm |
Humberto | Straight up the middle!! | |
The last couple of days of our vacation we decided to climb Ishinca AND use the Refugio. After a month of cooking outside and sleeping on the floor this was a treat!! Original plan was to go up the SW ridge and back but as we reached the bergschrund we saw the possibility to quickly skirt down and around to the right. Super glad we did that. A much more technical route that had us popping up a gully just below the summit ridge. From there is was an easy walk down the NW slopes in perfect weather. Up and down in less than 24 hrs was a bit quick. Next time I'll take the time to explore the many bouldering opportunities along the way. | ||

Climbed via normal route with Jacek R. Great conditions and really nice climb with steep snow finish to the summit. Perfect views! Highly recommended! | ||
Posted Jun 24, 2013 3:54 pm |
Cal | Left side- easy moraine Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2013 | |
Took the left side of the glacier from the Ishinca Lake refuge, which was easily accessed for lack of a difficult moraine (consider that most peaks are rated in difficulty for their glaciers but the moraine in the CB is often much more troublesome!). The glacier was more or less a walk and without open crevasses (one burgeoning crack) but became a fun 55-60 degree, 35 meter slope on the final push. Perfect acclimation climb on a rare good weather day for such a bad weather season. Views of Ranrapalca. | ||

From NW to SW. Good fun. Rap or down climb the bergschrund--it can be a little exciting! | ||
Posted Aug 13, 2011 8:48 am |
rgg | Up and over Date Climbed: Jul 26, 2011 | |
Up by the SW ridge, down the other side along the NW slopes. Beautiful day, beautiful climb and outstanding views from the summit! I saw at least 9 other climbers on the mountain. Apart from one very short part, it was an easy climb. On the SW side there is a tricky bergschrund some 10, 15 m below the summit. There was a partial snow bridge on the right, and another full one on the left. The trail went over the partial bridge, and directly on the other side was a steepish section to the summit. Nót the thing you want on the other side of a tricky bridge ... I had a look at the snow bridge on the left, but didn´t fancy being the first to test it, and opted for the right hand side instead. I presume that pretty soon, when the bridge on the right crumbles away further, climbers will have to try going left instead. By the way, I´m glad I didn´t try to do the traverse the other way around, because on the descent from the summit towards the SW it would be very easy to end up in the bergschrund, as I had heard from a climber from another party that had just done that. No harm done, they saw the danger in time and rappelled from the summit, so entering the schrund was only an inconvenience. I didn´t have that luxury, I was soloing. So, while going up the SW route was a bit tricky, descending it alone would be very dangerous indeed. | ||
Posted Jul 28, 2011 5:44 pm |
Andinistaloco | Long glacier walk | |
to a great summit. Only the last part presents any kind of technical issues, and even those aren't too bad - just watch your step. Perfect views of Ranrapalca! | ||
Posted Jul 2, 2011 10:58 pm |
iechegar | Traverse up Southwest down Northwest slopes Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2010 | |
Superb views of several peaks including Huantsan, Ranrapalca, Palcaraju, Toclla and many more. Nothing technical but need to be acclimatized before attempting it. I went from sea level to its 5550m summitt in less than 3 days and ended summitting at noon. Snow conditions deteriorated rapidly and had to avoid several crevasses and rocks falling on the Northern slopes. | ||
Posted Jul 9, 2010 7:34 pm |
dwalters1 | Ishinca Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2007 | |
Ishinca valley is a great place to acclimatize - and getting on Ishinca itself is a good primer to Tocllaraju. Very easy climb, no crevasse danger. | ||
Posted Oct 20, 2009 1:27 pm |
MRoyer4 | SW Ridge Date Climbed: Jun 9, 2009 | |
A good peak for acclimatization: easy walk up with nice views. Paired it with Ranrapalca. Laguna Ishinca provides nice camping away from the crowds in Quebrada Ishinca. It is possible to make it there in a single push from Pashpa if you are fit. | ||

Ario | Ascent via Northwest Slopes & Northeast ridge; descent via Southwest ridge Date Climbed: Jun 26, 2009 | |
Reached the summit with fellow Alpine Club of Canada (Montreal section) member Charlotte following our trekking guide Edgar Lalo in perfect weather: sunny and no wind. Ascent was via the Northwest Slopes and the Northeast ridge (PD-) and descent via the Southwest ridge (F). Left base camp (4400m) at 02:00, summited at 08:30. Privilege of our UIAA membership we had no obligation of hiring a mountain guide and opted for a trekking guide to secure the route finding in the night knowing Charlotte had this only one try to bag a mountaineering peak in the Cordillera Blanca. | ||

Read Eric's below...ps... unassisted. Gorgeous place. 34 miles, 30 hours, 7,500 vertical. Longest rainy walk ever for 1 quickie. Well worth having the summit to ourselves in perfect conditions. Fun to sit on the summit and view where our ride was picking us up 17 miles away in 8 hours. | ||

Eric Holle | Ishinca in 2 days.... Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2008 | |
Tim, Ben and I had a couple of days before leaving the Cordillera Blanca and wanted to go for another summit. We had acclimitized on Vallunaraju and made it to Camp 2 on Huascaran Sur, so we felt strong... We were dropped off at the Pashpa trailhead and hiked all the way to Refugio Vivaque, near Laguna Ishinca. It took 8 hours to cover the approximatly 14 miles and 5,400 feet. It was a comfortable night in the small refugio as we had it to ourselves (the next day there were about 12 people staying there). We awoke early the next morning and were hiking by 4:00am and on the summit by 7:15 am. We chose the direct route from the refugio heading directly accross the basin over the spillway to the base of the West face. From the base of the glacier we traversed to the northern saddle and from there onto the summit. It was fairly straight-forward with only a few cravasses and routefinding problems. From the summit, we had about 17 miles to go to make it back to the trailhead to catch a taxi that was waiting for us until 5:00pm. We descended the 7,000+ vertical feet and all the milage by 4:00pm for a total of a 30 hr. roundtrip climb of Ishinca. It was a big push requiring a lot of stamina, but the views the whole way up and down were absolutly worth every step! | ||

EF Education First, London, Wednesday 25th April 2012 -- According to a global report out today, almost half of executives (49%) admit that communication misunderstandings and messages lost in translation have stood in the way of major international business deals and resulted in significant losses for their company. Brazilian and Chinese companies have been affected even more so with 74% and 61% respectively reporting financial losses as a result of failed cross-border transactions. This is of concern given many businesses are looking to new markets to unlock opportunities and grow their companies overseas. The report, based on a global survey of 572 senior executives from private and public sector organisations worldwide and a series of in-depth interviews, was carried out by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and sponsored by EF Education First (EF). It reveals that almost two thirds of those surveyed (64%) think differences in language and culture have made it difficult to gain a foothold in foreign markets. And an overwhelming majority of executives believe that if cross-border communication were to improve at their company, then profits (89%), revenue (89%) and market share (86%) would each increase significantly. However, despite the realisation that cross-border communications skills are inextricably linked to their company's financial health, a significant proportion of companies are not taking sufficient action to address the root causes of misunderstandings. Almost half (47%) say their companies do not offer enough training to hone their employees' language and communication skills, and two fifths (40%) believe there is not enough emphasis placed on recruiting or selecting people who are suited to cross-cultural environments. Linguistic diversity is considered by some margin to be a greater problem in Latin America and Southern Europe than elsewhere. For example, 38% in Brazil and 40% in Spain believe the language barrier to be a significant hindrance to effective cross-border relations. Commenting on the findings, Christoph Wilfert, President, EF Corporate Language Learning Solutions said: "The boundaries between old and new economies are increasingly blurred, and those same economies are evermore entwined and interdependent. Today's businesses leaders need to ensure their employees are equipped with the right skills to communicate across borders effectively and efficiently". He continued, "Newer economies will fail on their internationalization plans, and older economies, who are already struggling, will find it almost impossible to regain their competitive foothold if businesses do not devote the appropriate time and resources into improving the international language skills of their key staff. It has never been so critical as it is today". The report also highlighted the pivotal role of English language in international business expansion, with the majority of executives emphasising the need for their employees to be proficient in English in order to compete on a global scale. According to the survey, English is the language that most executives (68%) think employees will need to know in order for their companies to grow successfully outside their home markets, followed by Mandarin (8%) and Spanish (6%). Interestingly, the gap between current usage and the desired level of proficiency in English is greatest in China, showing the country's increasingly external-facing business outlook. Only 9% of Chinese executives said that half their workforce now uses a foreign language in their job, but 86% also said their employees will need to know English if their companies are to carry out their international strategies successfully.

Competing across borders: how cultural and communication barriers affect business is an Economist Intelligence Unit report, sponsored by EF Education First. It explores the challenges companies face when they have to operate or compete in increasingly international markets. Specifically, this paper assesses the role that cross-border communication and collaboration play in the success or failure of companies with ambitions that are not hostage to national borders.
The Economist Intelligence Unit bears sole responsibility for the content of this report. The findings do not necessarily reflect those of the sponsor.
The report draws on two main sources for its research and findings:
A global survey of 572 executives, conducted in February and March 2012. Approximately one-half of respondents (47%) were C-level or board level executives, and over one-half (53%) were from companies with annual revenue in excess of US$500m. All respondents represented companies with either an international presence or plans for international expansion. Just over one-half (51%) of the respondents' companies are headquartered in western Europe; almost one-fifth (17%) are headquartered in Asia Pacific; nearly one in ten (9%) have headquarters in North America, and 8% are based in Latin America. The rest of the companies represented in the survey are from Africa, eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Re: sweet tatersWell I dug the rest cause we got so much rain and the garden was a pure mudhole. So, I dug them all out by hand so they would not rot.
Just a little bigger. The ones on the cutting board were out of 3 hills yesterday. The other is just one of many today
Re: sweet tatersWell,--Dale,--at least ya got 1 tater from all that work!!LOL!
Ours are still growin, so wont be digging them yet for a while! thanks; sonny
Re: sweet tatersyep Sonny, but i can feed a family of 8 with that one tater. LOL
Do not know why the one set of hills did so poorly. When i dug the rest today, I got a lot of taters that size and just a bit smaller.
Re: sweet tatersI didn't think I would have any sweet potatos since the ground was a bit cold when I planted them even though it was early June. After seeing this post I dug one hill.
Wow I thought I will have a few even if only a half dozen hills grew and a couple that just sat for a month. Of course I dug the best hill first so I was a bit disappointed when I dug the rest. The entire crop. Oh well, wait until next year. Vern
Re: sweet tatersmine are still in the ground, when I planted them and they started growing, then the rabbits kept eatting the tops, now the rabbits are bigger, they cant get through the fence, the taters started growing again. so I dont know what to expect when I can get out to dig them.

Tru Beautè Med Spa sponsors the Buccaneers game MVP, as selected by the PewterReport.com staff.
the second time this year, Buccaneers rookie tight end Tim Wright
is this week's Tru Beautè
Med Spa Bucs MVP due to his solid play in Tampa Bay's 33-14 loss to San Francisco. Wright led the Buccaneers and all receivers with seven catches for 82 yards (11.7 avg.) and a touchdown in the fourth quarter that cut the 49ers' lead to 20-14.
Wright is second on the team with 45 catches for 486 yards and four touchdowns. His 45 catches is tied for the most by a rookie tight end this year, and is quite an accomplishment for a player that was only converted from playing wide receiver to tight end this past spring.
Sunday's performance was the third time Wright has eclipsed 75 yards receiving in a game. He had a career-high 91 yards on seven catches against Philadelphia in Week 6, and Wright also had a career-high eight catches for 75 yards against Detroit in Week 12.
For his efforts, Wright will receive a certificate for a
complimentary one-hour massage at Tru Beautè Med Spa in Tampa.

Scrambling Jack always has another plan in bag
Pine Valley golf pro Jack McConachie (Ray Van Stone/RA) |
Off a well-worn rug on the pro shop floor at Pine Valley Golf Club in Southington, Jack McConachie likes to entertain his patrons by softly floating shots with a 60-degree wedge into the pocket of jackets hanging on a display rack.
It is a neat trick, but sometimes it can't match the magic McConachie has been know to perform on the golf course, off the grass or any other lie. From the woods, from the rough, or even off a lily pad if needed, McConachie is one tough scrambling Jack.
The scrambling style has served McConachie well, from collegiate days at Fairfield University to more than 30 years as a PGA of America club pro.
Early in his pro career, when he was an assistant pro at Tamarack Country Club in Greenwich, McConachie put together one of those scrambling rounds that would become his modus operandi.
A good ball striking round would always be preferred, but, said McConachie, "Sometimes things go awry and you need to have a plan B or a plan C."
In 1977, playing in the Met PGA Assistant Championship at Siwanoy Country Club, a Donald Ross course in Bronxville, N.Y., McConachie put all of his contingency plans to work.
Even a second round 66 in the 1980 Greater Hartford Open, when he got his name on the leaderboard and found himself playing the weekend with Wayne Levi and Raymond Floyd; or the 65 to open the 1984 Connecticut Open, and launch an overwhelming 12-under-par championship victory, can't match the memories of that day at Siwanoy.
"It was the second round of the Met Assistants Championship," said McConachie. "And I had nothing going. I had a 71 in the first round and was in
See JACK, Page 7B
contention but was hitting it pretty squirrely. I was one or two under and on the back nine the train went off the tracks. I started hitting big blocks and hooks. A block is the first cousin of the hook, and neither are nice."
Time for Plan B.
"I got it up and down four or five times," he said, "with a couple of long putts, 20-footers plus, two or three of those."
But the round took a while to finish. With three holes to play, some rain moved in and flooded some of the greens. After waiting over an hour, officials sent all the players home, except for the last three groups. They needed to determine a winner that day because the National PGA Assistants Championship was starting the next day in Brockton, Mass., and the winner had to be there.
Just before the suspension, McConachie had hit a wedge to eight feet and was one shot behind Kevin Morris. When the last three groups got back on the course, McConachie made his eight footer to tie Morris and then made par at the last two holes to set up a playoff with Jack Rice.
The playoff started well.
"I hit my drive deep into the trees, and Rice hit a perfect drive." said McConachie.
Plan B again.
"I punched out a hook down the hill and then pitched on the green," he said. "Then I made a 20-footer for par."
Rice hit his second shot over the green, chipped to 12 feet and missed. Bogey. McConachie scrambles to win the tournament. The record book says 71-70; nice and neat but more dramatic than it looks.
"I think I made 150 feet of putts that day," said McConachie. "It was memorable. The next day I was in Brockton."
That tournament, at the Thorney Lea Golf Club, included a pro-am, and one of McConachie's amateur partners was Boston Celtic legend Bob Cousey.
"That was fun, he was very nice," said McConachie. "I could have reminded him that his first game coaching Boston College was a loss to Fairfield. I didn't mention it."
The rest of the tournament went pretty well. McConachie finished seventh in the event, which always has a strong field. Two former winners are Loren Roberts and Fred Funk. As for McConachie's scrambling talent, it does not come without work. He works on some of those emergency shots.
"All the time," he said.
Growing up on the rock hard fairways that covered the ground on the Red Course at D. Fairchild Wheeler in Bridgeport, McConachie fine tuned the scramble.
"We just threw the ball in the woods, and tried to work our way out," he said. "We would practice on any kind of lie dirt, asphalt. At Wheeler Park in the 1960s there was plenty of opportunity to practice any kind of lie. We called it Cambodia. It was a lot of fun."
And it all came in handy.

Mr. Caiman: "It's Albert, but I prefer to be called by my nickname."
Dr. Grumpy: "What's that?"
Mr. Caiman: "The Grey-Eyed Gator."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
That is the best nickname EVER!
Appears he is in touch with his reptile brain
I would call him that, every time he visited!
Sorry it is already taken.
Gee, it would be a real shame if something were to "happen" real soon to The Grey-Eyed Gator.
How come you guys couldn't spell Albert?
Y ou do encounter the most unusual people. Is that typical of neurologists or is it particular to you?
It's spelled "Kenneth Luxury Yacht", but it's pronounced "Throat Warbler Mangrove".
Funnier yet if his eyes are brown
And people mock me when I tell them I'm trying to get my name legally changed to Moose.
Officer Cynical with the Python reference FTW! Well done!
WV: "edslice" Is your fish okay?
Still - how do you spell you name?
Gray or Grey?
This one always makes me laugh no matter how many times I read it.
Oddly enough, my nickname is "The alligatorid crocodylian with the duck-billed snout"

My Bag of Horror...
I lit,Iove it! It's compact and with my 14" ultrabook + iPad in, it still looks compact and it makes me look so cool toting it! One minor thing missing is a loop to hold a pen.

great business mix pleasure travel
Bought it in Jan 2012, black, brought it for business travel and then leisure for 3 weeks in Europe. (almost) formal but sporty look because of the black, but when I travel for leisure and leave the laptop at the hotel, this bag is flexible and big enough to hold all documents secure and dry in the winter. Zipper add security. Volume just nice to carry the things I bought. After more than 1 year of everyday use, I got few rips and tear at the seam but still very good condition. Now up to my 3rd Crumpler Messenger Bag.
