New LA Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo is settling into life in MLS, but the 31-year-old goalkeeper is hopeful that he'll be able to earn minutes with the Galaxy soon.
The 31-year-old Panamanian international was on the bench for LA's 3-3 draw with FC Dallas on Sunday, just days after making his Galaxy debut in the second half of the club's 2-0 defeat to AC Milan in Guinness International Champions Cup Third Place Game. The appearance came only a day after the 'keeper signed with the Galaxy on a free transfer.
Currently, Penedo finds himself serving as the backup to Galaxy starter Carlo Cudicini, who has started 21 of LA's 23 matches this season. After serving as a regular for Los Canaleros and Guatemalan side Municipal for much of the last decade, it might be a bit strange for him to play a backup role, but Penedo admits that he told Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena in their very first conversation that he would be willing to wait for his chance to start.
"We went to dinner with a translator and he told me that he has followed me, and asked if I have patience. I said "yes I have patience," Penedo told reporters after the Galaxy's 3-3 draw in Dallas. "I want to work hard to help the team and do whatever I can for them, even being a backup is welcome."
Where Penedo is almost certain to earn time this year is in CONCACAF Champions League play. Traditionally, Arena has opted to use his second choice 'keeper for the CCL group stages, and he may offer Penedo his first start for the Galaxy in Tuesday's match against Cartaginés at StubHub Center.
"We'll see," Arena said after the draw with FC Dallas when asked about when Penedo may take the field. "Every game is different and we'll see."
Expectations are considerably high for Penedo with the Galaxy and his native Panama, however, the 'keeper is focused solely on fitting in with his new club.
"I know that the expectations are high in Panama. I've heard the commentaries and that's what they want, but it is not my decision. It is my job to convince who I have to convince," said Penedo. "I think that this week has been positive. I'm learning how to speak English and continue my job. Hopefully, things will work out."
In the latest edition of MLSsoccer.com's Instant Replay, Simon Borg breaks down the two noncalls that marred the LA Galaxy's 3-3 draw with FC Dallas.
Borg's analysis of the Galaxy match can be found at 4:43.
Check it out below..
Landon Donovan's hat trick in the LA Galaxy's 3-3 against FC Dallas earned him MLS Player of the Week honors, MLS announced.
The North American Soccer Reporters voted Donovan as Player of the Week, making him the second LA Galaxy player to win the honors this season. The first was Mike Magee when he tallied a hat trick against his current club, the Chicago Fire in the first week of the season.
Let's look at just how impressive Donovan's night was, shall we?
*Donovan had just three shots and scored three goals. He's the first player to score in all of his shots since Dewayne De Rosario on Sept. 2011. Interestingly enough, three of Donovan's came during game's where he scored on all three of his shots.
*Donovan has now scored 20 goals against FC Dallas. His highest against any club.
*Donovan now has 152 career goals in MLS (counting postseason and regular season).
*At 130 regular season goals, he's just FIVE goals away from setting a new MLS regular season record, which is currently held by Jeff Cunningham.
*Donovan now has four career hat tricks in MLS – three of them as a member of the Galaxy—which puts him just one hat trick away from tying the league's all-time mark of five, which is shared by Stern John and Diego Serna.
Landon Donovan's first goal of his hat trick against FC Dallas has been nominated for MLSsoccer.com's Goal of the Week.
The goal was a class finish by Donovan, who was sent on a diagonal run by a Robbie Keane pass. Donovan then headed the ball past Dallas goalkeeper Chris Seitz and then tapped it in to beat a hard charging Matt Hedges.

FRISCO, Texas. -- The LA Galaxy were left searching for answers on Sunday after it appears that officating mistakes may have turned a 3-1 victory into a 3-3 draw against FC Dallas.
The calls in question came on both of FC Dallas' goals by Blas Perez in the 48th and 86th minute, which it seems that assistant referees Kevin Duliba and Brian Dunn, should have ruled offside. Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena was the most blunt postgame about the officating decisions, but each of the four LA players that spoke to the media following the match addressed the calls.
Their thoughts are below...
TODD DUNIVANT: "From what I've heard, those second and third were offside and they stand as goals. All three were set pieces so that's something that we clearly have to work on."
OMAR GONZALEZ: "You just wish that everyone on that field is on their game. Sometimes, not everyone is on their game, but those three guys, you want them to be on."
CARLO CUDICINI: "It's a pity. Scoring three goals away from home should be enough to win games. The last two goals were clearly offside, so sometimes it's easy to complain, but that's why in training, we try things. If we try things and guys see that it is offside then they should indicate it to the referee. Overall, at the end of the day, we have one point, which is not a bad result, but when you're 3-2 with 10 minutes to go, of course, you try to win it and get the three points.
LANDON DONOVAN: "I haven't seen any replay, but if that's the case, it's unfortunate. It's part of the game. People make mistakes. Referees certainly are humans, too; they make mistakes. Let's just hope that they weren't, but if they are, then it is what it is"
Courtesy of MLSsoccer.com, all three of Landon Donovan's goals against FC Dallas are below.
FRISCO ,Texas— LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena was left fuming after officiating appears to have led to two goals by FC Dallas that saw LA draw the Texas side 3-3.
Arena's thoughts are below…
(On his general thoughts on the match…)
ARENA: "Terrible officiating, no question about it. However, we were in position to win the game. What more can you say? What more can you say? It's a shame we can't get better officiating in the game."
(On Landon Donovan's performance…)
ARENA: "Landon did a great job tonight. Give him a lot of credit."
(On the Galaxy's defending on set pieces…)
ARENA: "Guys were offside. In professional games you have to assume the linesmen can make those calls. However, I'd still say that on the third goal, you've got to do a better job. But, you know, what can you do? This is the state of officiating. It is what it is."
(On whether the weather played a factor...(
ARENA: "We were the team that should have won this game. It's a shame. It really is."
(On when we might see Penedo play for the LA Galaxy…)
ARENA: "We'll see. Every game is different and we'll see."
FRISCO, Texas -- Landon Donovan scored his fourth career MLS hat trick as the LA Galaxy extended FC Dallas' winless streak to 10 games with a 3-3 tie at FC Dallas stadium.
A few notes below...
*Robbie Rogers was left out of the 18 due to a coaches decision.
*Landon Donovan now has 152 MLS Goals including postseason. He has 130 regular season finishes, which is just four away from tying the league's all-time high set by Jeff Cunningham.
*Leonardo made his first regular start for LA since Apr. 13.
*Matt Hedges' goal was the Galaxy's first goal allowed in the first 15 minutes this season.
*LA has allowed 10 goals in the final 15 minutes this season. The same number as FC Dallas.
*Blas Perez noded a pair of goals.
FRISCO, Texas— The LA Galaxy return to MLS play on Sunday night against FC Dallas at FC Dallas Stadium. In preparation for tonight's match, my look ahead to FCD is below…
In the latest edition of "View from the Booth" I preview the FC Dallas game with Joe Tutino.
The heat is always an issue in Dallas, but LA may have acclimated to the conditions through their week in Miami.
Check out LAGalaxy.com's Video Preview to the match against FC Dallas.
Lastly, my Three Points to the match.
ROBBIE KEANE vs. GEORGE JOHN
The FC Dallas defense has been conceding goals at a high rate as of late, and it won't help that they'll likely take on an LA Galaxy attack with Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan at the helm. The Galaxy duo was impressive during the Guinness International Champions Cup, and will be expected to test John and his fellow center back Matt Hedges with their movement on and of the ball.
MARCELO SARVAS vs. DAVID FERREIRA
The LA Galaxy's Brazilian duo will need to put the brakes on talented Colombian playmaker David Ferreira, who has struggled at times this season. FC Dallas has struggled mightily in front of goal as of late as they have been held scoreless in their last five matches. Expect Sarvas and company to follow the recent script of Dallas' opponents by pressuring Ferreira and preventing him from connecting with Blas Perez.
BLAS PEREZ vs. OMAR GONZALEZ
One of the most exciting battles of the evening will see these two international opponents do battle. Blas Perez is expected to use his physical tools to get under the skin of the Galaxy center backs as the Panamanian forward will attempt to force his way into dangerous positions. If Arena opts to use the same lineup against AC Milan, Omar Gonzalez will have another big body in support was Brazilian defender Leonardo will attempt to put Perez under wraps.
LA Galaxy right back Sean Franklin has made several stints up the field over his career, and if LA's participation in the Guinness International Champions Cup is any indication, he may be asked to take up this role again this Sunday against FC Dallas.
In the Galaxy's ICC match against AC Milan, Franklin saw time at right midfield to—by his own admission—mixed results as the team's offense struggled to recreate their explosive success against Juve in Miami on Wednesday. However, if he is asked to reprise his role out wide against FC Dallas, the 28-year-old believes that he is ready for the responsibility.
"Bruce told me that he was going to look at me at right midfielder over the next couple of weeks and it is my job to be prepared to be able to help the team in that area," said Franklin. "I think that I did okay [against Milan], but I just have to get better at that position and work on crossing, getting the ball in dangerous spots, and just being confident about taking on guys."
If Franklin does see time on the flank, he'll be pitted against scrappy left back Jair Benitez, who has had his share of tussles with LA over the years. Ultimately, for the Galaxy to earn three points against Dallas, Franklin believes that LA must win these types of battles.
"They're a tough team," said Franklin. "It's going to be a tough game, any time that we play them it's always scrappy and it's never the prettiest game against that team."

Every year about this time, fans of 32 NFL Football teams look ahead to the season with either hope for a push into the playoffs or pray that the franchise they love doesn't embarrass them yet again. Fortunately with the way the NFL runs its business many more teams look ahead with hope than despair. There have been some serious moves this offseason with more to come and so looking at who's the top and who's the bottom is a little more complicated than last year's finish. And I have made sure to put on my fireproof underwear for the flames I am going to get for how this is all shaking out. But if you're into NFL betting there might be a few good tips in here.
One note before I post my Top 5-Obviously the first thing you will notice is I have included the Minnesota Vikings. This obviously would change in a huge way if and/or when Brett Favre decides to retire. In fact I contend that the Vikings are a legit Super Bowl contender with him, and not even a playoff team without him. That has less to do with Favre and more to do with the lack of talent behind him at quarterback. The other thing you will notice is that 4 of the 5 teams in my Top 5 are from the NFC. The NFC looks poised to be the dominant conference this year.

Baseball Falls 20-11 in Wild 31-run, 36-hit Affair with Tusculum
February 5, 2011
SALISBURY, N.C. Pfeiffer University and Tusculum College combined for 31 runs and 36 hits as the Pioneers collected a wild 20-11 victory over the Falcons in baseball action on Saturday afternoon. Each team traded eight run innings during the affair as Tusculum wins its season opener. Pfeiffer evens their early mark to 1-1.
17 of the 18 starters on both sides had at-least one hit with six long balls total, five by Tusculum. After a pair of Pioneer runs in the first, Pfeiffer exploded for eight unearned runs after a crucial error. With two outs and a runner at first, Hunter Boehme reached on a fielding error at third. That opened the door for a two-run Jacob Yates single and two-run triple by Matt Wade. Preston Lyon, Jon Gray and Aarin Sharpe had the other RBI while Sharpe scored on an inning ending run down kept alive by Eric Shoemaker.
The Pioneers responded with four in their second using two of their five home runs. Matt Henriksen hit his first of two on the day for a lead-off tally, while Alexi Colon belted a two-run shot later in the frame. After Grays blast in the fourth put the Falcons up 9-7, Tusculum put up their eight spot in the fifth to grab a 15-9 lead.
Henriksen, along with Branfy Arias, each mashed two-run shots while Henriksen continued his season opening tear with two more RBI on a double down the right field line in his second at-bat of the inning. Shoemaker later added a solo round-tripper for the Falcons leading off the seventh. Pfeiffer would commit four errors in the loss to Tusculums one in the fifth.
Henriksen paced the Pioneers with a 3-for-5 day finishing with two homers and five RBI as one of seven with at-least two hits. Sharpe led the Falcons with a 3-for-4 outing as one of five Falcons picking up at-least a pair of hits.
Pfeiffer will wrap up the abbreviated weekend with a 4:00 p.m. tilt on Sunday against Brevard back at Newman Park.

In recent years, modern Indian art has shed the label of merely decorative art to become a genre that is recognized the world over for its high economic and aesthetic value. As a result of India's developing economy, international interest in modern Indian art has developed the once overlooked art into a sought after, multi-million dollar market—one that has made its way to the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art.
Beginning March 15, OUMA will host more than 50 works from 28 of India's most famous artists, including Francis Newton Souza, Sakti Burman, and Seema Kohli. The exhibit, titled Goddess, Lion, Peasant, Priest, features modern and contemporary Indian artwork from the personal collection of OU alumnus Donald Rubin '56 and his wife, Shelley, who founded the Rubin Museum of Art in New York City.
"Modern and contemporary Indian art has long been considered simply derivative of European and American art," said Dr. Rebecca M. Brown, the exhibit's curator, "but this show allows us to see that it has its own concerns and stands on its own as an important contribution to what modern art is—globally. These artists address important questions about what it means to be South Asian but also about what it means to be human—broad, important questions we all can relate to."
With imagery from all walks of life, from the poorest citizens to dynamic deities, the works of Goddess, Lion, Peasant, Priest focuses on India's people. There are individual characters gazing at the viewer, men and women inhabiting spaces both urban and rural, kneeling bodies meditating and praying. Religious diversity in India's culture is on full display here as well, as many of the works feature symbolism from both traditional polytheistic religions as well as Christian imagery.
To help kick off the exhibition, Oglethorpe is celebrating India's art and culture throughout the next week and beyond: Continue reading

So your toddler applied an inch thick layer of zinc based diaper rash cream to their little body, eh? Anyone who has ever come into contact with this stuff KNOWS.... They KNOW that you could waterproof a loaf of bread with this. It is the most sinister, hopeless and single most difficult substance to remove from hair on this earth. Crude oil is easier to remove from your child's bouncing follicles of joy (dawn dish detergent). Especially if you have a girl and don't want to shave her head and have her look like a circa 1865 Irish orphan. It seems to attach to hair follicles on an atomic level.
I've found a solution, and for a mere $30, I'll email it to you. Just kidding, (unless you are here specifically looking for a solution because like me, you googled this. You'll send me the $30 once this works for you out of gratitude). None of the solutions I googled worked... but a SERIES of solutions did.
My daughter did this today. In 45 seconds, a flash, she dug her pink little fists deep into the canister of wretched bum cream and began to paste herself, efficiently and with purpose. She could give lessons to the military on how to apply bum cream to their hair and body with critical speed and accuracy.
This is the substance that is designed to keep baby's delicate skin from being burned from the inevitable hours of urine ammonia that it is exposed to until the glorious day that they are potty trained. Got a leak in your submarine? This is your stuff. I really think that the military could benefit from the use of it somehow. Like drop bum cream bombs on the enemy. Nobody gets killed, yet it is still terribly inconvenient and labor intensive to remove. They will surrender.
Anyhow, enough talking about it. Don't take all of your ant-depressants just yet, this can be dealt with. Roll up your sleeves, here is how I got it out:
Supplies: Lard, baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, coca cola classic (name brand, not pepsi or other kinds), baby shampoo, a fine toothed comb, Dawn brand dish detergent, baby soap, clean dishcloths that you can part with, old towels, a sense of humor, booze.
"Mommy, a MUSS"
First, though, wipe the ointment off of her tongue and give her a drink. Then you can begin.
Step Two:
Put your toddler in very warm water (not hot, obviously). At this point, pretend that there is no diaper cream in your child's hair and concentrate on getting it off of her arms & hands to reduce further smearing. You'll find that soap alone is not getting it off of her.
Use the lard and then dish soap. Not shortening; use non-vegan, animal fat lard (like tenderflake but no name lard is fine). Lard is miraculous for removing petroleum based layers of guck from children. Even road tar comes off your child like a dream with lard. A stick of lard is like a Mr Clean Tar-Eraser.
Drain the tub, take your baby out of it and clean it with scalding water.
Refill the tub. Put child back in new tub of warm water and wash her again with baby soap.
Start by shampooing with regular baby shampoo and a fine toothed comb to get as much out as possible. You'll probably have to drain and refill the tub again after this. Lots of draining and refilling.
Next, you want to make a paste out of 1 tbsp vinegar, 1 teaspoon baking soda and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Work it into a lather and leave it in your child's hair for 2 minutes, wash that out with dishsoap. Rinse with water. Don't condition it.
Take your child out of the tub, dry them off and give them a break from being scrubbed. Their hair will still be horrendous. You will still be able to shape it like it is made of plasticine.
This is pretty intense for a toddler and she'll need a break. Let her hair dry. Once her hair is dry, completely coat it in lots of baking soda to absorb some of the oil. Let her run around and play with the baking soda in her hair. The longer it's in, the better. At least 15 minutes.
Step 4:
Next shampoo her hair with DAWN dish detergent. ( I am not endorsing dawn because they are sending me money, I am endorsing it because it is oil based and is the most effective in removing petroleum products from hair/feathers etc. It's what they use to clean the crude oil from baby ducks.) **PS, I'm usually a no-name brand sort of gal.
It's still a little greasy, but at least you can go out in public and old women won't accost you for having a child who's hair has clearly not been washed ever in her entire life.
Put children to bed, drink an entire bottle of wine and be grateful that it was not poop.

A DNA test can reveal what your mutt's made of
Dan Bates / The Herald
Mike McKee places a doggie treat on Leila's nose as (from left) Mya, Kirsten McKee and Noah wait to see if Leila will stay still or flip it in the air and grab it. Kirsten McKee had Leila's DNA tested when she was a puppy to find out what kind of dog Leila's father was.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Kirsten McKee had her dog Leila's DNA tested when she was a puppy to find out what kind of dog Leila's father was.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Kirsten McKee, daughter Mya, 10, and son Noah, 14, watch Leila perform tricks at their Marysville home.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Kirsten McKee cuddles with Leila.
All she knew was that he was the red-hot retriever prancing around the neighborhood.
So, she had a DNA test done.
It was obvious that Leila's mom, a mixed-breed who belonged to her in-laws, had some border collie, but McKee wasn't sure what else. She suspected Leila's dad was likely the product of some heat-of-the-moment mixed matings as well.
A drop of blood revealed more than Leila's pedigree, or lack of. "You can find out what kind of medical conditions they might run into," said McKee, a receptionist at a Mukilteo vet clinic. "Or how big the dog might get."
DNA analysis showed Leila's dad was half Labrador and her mom half border collie. Well, that explained the pup's bossiness and the spring in her step.
Her parents' other halves were of mixed breed ancestry, as was Leila's.
The DNA blood test, which distinguishes more than 235 breed types, determined the five next best breed matches in Leila's makeup were: Argentine dogo (17.75 percent); Russian wolfhound (10.88 percent); Akita (5.4 percent); Great Dane (4.75 percent); and Cesky terrier (2.95 percent).
Health risks for Leila's main breeds include exercise-induced collapse, drug sensitivity, narcolepsy, skeletal dysplasia and eye problems.
So far, she's a healthy, frisky 4-year-old who keeps a nose in everything that goes on with McKee's two kids and husband at their Marysville home.
The test predicted Leila's adult weight at 48 to 75 pounds. She weighs 56 pounds.
DNA kits are specific for mixed-breed, purebred or designer dogs. Testing can be done with blood draws at a vet or with home kits using cheek swabs.
Tests start at about $80.
"We are seeing it more and more," said Steve Scheurich, practice manager at Banfield Animal Hospital in Everett. "We see all kinds of reasons for it. Most of the time they're curious just what the heck it is."
That information comes in handy if that cute little puppy is going to be too big for apartment rules or has a breed type banned in some communities.
Sometimes it's for bragging rights.
"My ex-wife and I had it done over a breed of dog," Scheurich said. "I said it had no boxer. She said it did. She was right."
The results can be surprising in other ways.
"Some you're looking at it thinking, 'How in the world could that happen?' It seems to be physically impossible," he said.
"You never know what you are going to find with these things. When they say Heinz 57, they aren't kidding. They are ... literally."
DNA tests
DNA tests are available for things other than dog breeds. Some property managers use dog-poop DNA-matching services to nail owners who fail to pick up after their pets. When a "land mine" is found, the tests determine who did it.
Bird owners curious about their feathered friend's gender can get a bird sex determination test.
If you want to know more than your parents told you: Online sites sell cheek swab tests for humans for matters such as paternity, sibling relationships and predisposition testing to identify key markers that show a predisposition for certain diseases or for general health issues.

My former device was a N73ME (S60v3) and there you could edit Music on the device, i heard even in S60v5 it was possible. But why can't I edit Music on the N8 and always forced to use Ovi-Player on the PC or Windows Media Player to change musicinformation with deleting the music on the N8 and synchronize it again to the device.
Was this function just forgotten by the developers?
Please implement this with a software update or make it even better (e.g. make it possible to add albumart and search vor trackinfos onle via Gracenote or maybe something else) that would be fine
08-10-2011 10:30
Almost one year has passed, and I see this problem hasn't been addressed.
I'm mistified that, moving from a 5800 to an N8, I've got less functionality available...
Hope a Nokia person out there has an answer.
18-10-2011 0:04
It is a bit of a downgrade not being able to edit music details on the phone, but the only solution I've found is to make sure it's right before I drag and drop it onto the phone, then the issue becomes somewhat irrellivant ?
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :
you can also help others by marking 'accept as solution'

Monday, February 17, 2014
KANYE WEST surprised KIM KARDASHIAN with 1,000 red roses on Valentine's Day. She even posted a picture of herself surrounded by some of them. But if Kanye was trying to show off, he failed miserably. Because he got SERIOUSLY upstaged by JASON DERULO . . . who gave his girlfriend JORDIN SPARKS TEN TIMES AS MANY. Jason sent 10,000 roses to Jordin's suite at the Redbury Hotel in Hollywood on Friday.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA and her boyfriend Matt Rutler are engaged. On Friday, Christina posted a picture of the ring on her finger, along with the caption, quote, "He asked and I said . . ."
CHARLIE SHEEN has made yet another brilliant life decision. He and former porno star BRETT ROSSI are getting married. Charlie proposed on Saturday, after flying her to Hawaii on a private jet. She says, quote, "He even was a gentleman and got down on one knee. I was not expecting it at all. This is the happiest moment of both our lives. He's my best friend and my soulmate."
2/14/14 Michelle Duggar's Advice to Women
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, February 14, 2014
MICHELLE DUGGAR from the TLC show "19 Kids and Counting" says one of the keys to a happy marriage is for the woman to be with her husband whenever HE wants it. Even if SHE doesn't. She says, quote, "You always need to be available when he calls.'"
COLIN FARRELL says it was "terrifying" to have sober sex after he cleaned up his act in 2005 . . . quote, "It was in the afternoon. The windows and the curtains were open. It was lovely, and to be crass, it wasn't [effing]. She was very gentle . . . I was just used to drunkenness and dark rooms and clubs and toilets and wherever."
Just because you know who SARAH SILVERMAN is . . . doesn't mean she's rich. She says, quote, "I've had a couple good runs here and there, but there's no consistent income . . . There's just such a misconception about me. I always say that I'm the poorest famous person in the world, non-scandal."
During an interview with MTV yesterday, MARIAH CAREY was talking about her dogs . . . whose names include: Muttley, Cha Cha, Squeaky Beans, Jilly Beans, Pippity and The Reverend Pow Jackson.
Reportedly, Kanye West is wearing a crown for his wedding in May and he wants fiancée Kim Kardashian do the same. Sources say Kim and Kanye will be in handcrafted headpieces he commissioned for them because he thinks he and Kim are royalty.
2/12/14 O.J. Goes on Hunger Strike
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, February 13, 2014
Forbes.com has just released their annual list of the Most Trustworthy Celebrities. TOM HANKS was #1, followed by CAROL BURNETT and MORGAN FREEMAN. No one in the Top 10 is younger than 50.
PAULA DEEN was ROCKED last June, after admitting to using the N-word . . . even though she INSISTED she's not racist. In the aftermath, she was dropped from the Food Network and lost a ton of endorsements. However, she's poised to make a comeback, because her company has just received a BIG investment, which is reportedly worth between $75 million and $100 million. There's no word what she has in the works, but it might involve a return to TV.
Julia Roberts' half-sister may have killed herself in a deliberate attempt to harm Julia's career and hurt her chances of winning an Oscar at this year's Academy Awards. The brother of Nancy Motes' fiancé (Connor Dilbeck) said 'We are talking about people who are powerful, people who are in the limelight. Their power can be destroyed very easily if unfortunate things make them look more wicked. They have to be careful. It can destroy their career or their Academy Award.' A source said, 'Julia tried in vain over the years, even in the last six months, to get Nancy to go to rehab. Nancy refused the offers and that is when she would often publicly lash out at Julia. It hurt Julia, but she knew her sister was battling addiction.' Connor Dilbeck said Julia inflicted 'pure cruelty' on her sister and Nancy's suicide letter was a desperate attempt to expose the alleged treatment. Conner claimed the note is eight pages long, not five, and Julia is said to be 'terrified' about it coming out.
OJ Simpson has apparently gone on a hunger strike in prison. He said, 'I used to live my way, and now I'm going to die my way.' OJ is serving out a kidnapping, assault and robbery sentence in a Nevada prison, but he is reportedly so depressed that he wants to 'just sit down in a corner and die'.
2/12/14 AskMen's Most Desirable Women
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, February 12, 2014
EMILIA CLARKE from "Game of Thrones" tops this year's AskMen.com list of the 99 Most Desirable Women. Last year's winner, JENNIFER LAWRENCE, dropped to FOURTH. In between them are ALISON BRIE from "Community" and EMILY RATAJKOWSKI from the "Blurred Lines" video. EMMA WATSON rounds out the Top 5. MILEY CYRUS made the list for the FIRST TIME EVER, believe it or not. She just barely squeaked in at #99.
After that video of JUSTIN BIEBER being FRISKED in jail was released, his lawyers moved to block any more video from coming out. They said it was because Justin was also, quote, "captured on videotape in various states of undress, which show intimate personal parts of [his] body." Well, TMZ says the unreleased footage shows Justin PEEING in his holding cell. It's not clear if he just whips it out and pees on the floor . . . like he did last summer when he relieved himself in a restaurant's mop bucket . . . or if there was a toilet in the cell. Bieber seemed fairly sober in the frisking video . . . but this other footage supposedly shows him, quote, "stumbling around while he was taking his tests." If that's the case, you can see why his legal team would want to keep it under wraps.
Former NBC news anchor TOM BROKAW has revealed that he was diagnosed with cancer last August. He has "multiple myeloma" . . . a cancer affecting blood cells in the bone marrow . . . but his doctors are "optimistic" about how he's responding to treatment.
Five European MICHAEL JACKSON fans who sued DR. CONRAD MURRAY over his death won their case. A judge awarded them ONE EURO apiece, which comes out to $1.36. They don't want the money, though. What they REALLY want is access to Michael's grave, which is closed to the public.
NBC News is reporting that PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN had two diaries, where he wrote about his struggles with "demons" and his attempts to stay clean by attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings.
Some of the entries may have been written while he was high . . . because they went from being readable to illegible, and were, quote, "difficult to follow."
2/11/14 Julia Roberts Sister Found Dead

Tuesday, February 11, 2014
Former "Saturday Night Live" star CHRIS KATTAN was busted for DUI early yesterday morning in L.A., after he veered onto a closed section of a highway and smashed into a construction truck. Supposedly he admitted he was on prescription drugs, and there's video of his failed field sobriety test online.
News Flash: Sometimes the media gets its predictions wrong. HORRIBLY wrong. Here's a collection of nine magazine predictions that didn't exactly pan out:
In 2002, "Newsweek" magazine ran a cover proclaiming M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN "The Next Spielberg".
A 2001 "Us Weekly" cover promised to explain how BRAD PITT and JENNIFER ANISTON are "making it work . . . in a year of breakups."
LANCE ARMSTRONG was "Sports Illustrated's" 2002 Sportsman of the Year.
In 2007, "People" magazine said that BILLY RAY CYRUS was, quote, "Raising a Teen Star (The Right Way!)". And yes, they were talking about MILEY.
In 2010, "OK!" magazine broke the "news" that SURI CRUISE was getting a baby brother.
As JAY LENO was preparing to take over the "Tonight Show", fellow late-night host ARSENIO HALL was on the cover of "Entertainment Weekly" saying, quote, "I'm Gonna Kick Leno's Ass".
In May of 1978, "Time" magazine's cover boy was a 30-year-old PRINCE CHARLES, who was described as "The Man Who Would Be King". Thirty-six years later, he's still waiting.
JULIA ROBERTS' half-sister Nancy Motes was found dead on Sunday of an apparent drug overdose. She was 37. Julia hasn't commented directly . . . but the family released a statement saying, quote, "There is no official report from the Coroner's office yet. The family is both shocked and devastated." Last August, Nancy said she was "incredibly hurt and very sad" over some "not-so-nice" comments Julia allegedly made to her over the years about her weight. At the time, she said their relationship was, quote, "a work in progress."
The Los Angeles District Attorney has two key pieces of evidence it says help them in prosecuting Justin Bieber in last month's egg-throwing incident. According to TMZ, the DA's office has surveillance footage that was seized during the raid of Bieber's house which shows he was right there as the eggs were being thrown at his neighbor's house, although it doesn't actually show him throwing them. They're also using the video supplied by the neighbor in which Bieb's voice is allegedly heard yelling and swearing at the neighbor. The DA is expected to file criminal charges. A decision is likely to come down this week.

Marlabs has been appraised at Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level 5 using the 'Standard CMMI Appraisal Methodology for Process Improvement' approach prescribed by the CMMI institute. Level 5, the optimizing level, is the highest CMMI level. Appraisal at Level 5 recognizes our ability to continually improve process performance through both incremental and innovative technological changes/improvements.
During late 2011, Marlabs was assessed for CMMI L3, which signified that our processes are well defined and standardized across the company. In accordance with our strategy to achieve business objectives with more advanced, consistent, and well-defined processes, we strive to reach the highest levels of maturity in all aspects. Appraisal at CMMI L5 was the next step towards this in our journey towards continuous improvement.
We kick-started the mission in mid-2012 aided by external consultants, who analyzed and identified areas of improvement to meet the objectives; gathered the measures and metrics; and evaluated our performance to set goals for improvement. Processes to meet the goals were optimized and deployed in the projects through high maturity process trainings and facilitations to the project managers (PMs).
Our Quality Team shares their experiences and excitement
"We appreciate the PMs for their interest in quantitative project management concepts such as Anova, Test of Hypothesis, Control Charts, Pareto Analysis, Monte Carlo Simulation, Regression Analysis, Normality Tests and Capability Six Pack Analysis, which form the core of CMMI L5 implementation. All these new methodologies/activities, statistical analysis, interpretation of outcomes, and demonstration of continuous improvements statistically need to be embedded in all practitioners. The Quality Team was successful in accomplishing this in multiple iterations. Our Delivery Teams also accomplished the same with the greatest dedication and enthusiasm. The Quality Team's determination and support from PMs made this achievement possible in this short span of time."
"Then came the next step - the final assessment! The Lead Assessor performed readiness checks and flagged off the final assessment on January 5, 2015 with document reviews followed by interviews. We appreciate the efforts of all the Appraisal Team Members (ATMs) to identify the expectations of CMMI L5 model, review all the processes, and documents from projects and set the stage for Interviewing the PMs, Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG), and other Functional Area Representative (FAR) groups. Subsequently, with various rounds of interviews, document reviews and a few trajectory corrections, the assessment went well.
The D-day, the much awaited day of final presentation arrived on Jan 16, 2015. The Appraisal Team categorized the findings with strengths and weakness against each process area with respect to Maturity Levels. The Lead Auditor started presenting from Level 2 area, went through the higher levels, and declared the final assessment of our capabilities—"Yes Marlabs is at CMMI L5!" The moment was followed by thunderous applause. Thus our CMMI L5 Mission was successfully achieved and Marlabs joined the elite group of companies to be appraised at L5! This achievement goes beyond the appraisal—it proves that different teams at Marlabs are interwoven with team spirit to work together as one. It also demonstrates our confidence to take on more challenging assignments. Yes, this is indeed a proud moment for all Marlabians!
Other teams share their experiences and challenges
I feel very proud to be a part of the CMMI assessment process in Marlabs successfully for the third time in my tenure of 8.5 years. The Level 5 journey was really very interesting as well as challenging. The support from Software Quality Assurance (SQA) team was amazing and the team co-ordination was excellent. The path to Level 5 assessment was a step by step process involving sharing of information and interviews by the assessing KPMG team. Quantitative management and how this can be applied to improve the project management is critical for achieving L5 in addition to proficiency in statistics. The sessions on high maturity practices by the SQA team were quite informative. The evaluation of current status using control charts in Minitab was really interesting and the analysis of PDPC reports generated from Minitab using historic data turned out to be the best part of this exercise. Appraisal at level 5 is indeed a great milestone for Marlabs. I thank the management and my team members for their support and knowledge shared during our journey to L5.
- Indumathy (Project Manager)
I was really excited when I was asked to play 'ATM' for the upcoming CMMI L5 appraisal in Marlabs. What I experienced in the last two months when we trained for this event, and went through the whole appraisal exercise was really wonderful.
As a PM in Marlabs for the past two years, the journey towards L5 honed my skills in project management. It was indeed a huge learning opportunity. In addition, the busy schedule during the appraisal period was a test of our mental and physical strengths and capabilities. I was all prepared for it to be stressful, but the additional physical strain that came with it took me by surprise. However, after the first few days, we all learned to cope with that too in our own ways. Sitting in the board room with eight other members for two whole weeks to assess your organization as a neutral participant was a unique experience. It was heartening to see the confidence of the FAR team members when they faced the interviews. After all, it is no easy task to face an eight member interview panel and not appear nervous. In the end, it was heart-warming to see the joy on everyone's face to be appraised at CMMI L5.

The world is moving towards Cloud Computing, a new technological era which has just begun. Have you ever pondered why the word "cloud" is induced as a terminology in the field of Information Technology?
In cloud computing, the word "cloud" is used as a metaphor for "internet". Having said that, cloud computing is a kind of internet based computing where wide variety of services like storages, servers and applications are offered to the enterprises and individuals through the internet. Typically, cloud computing encompasses multiple computing resources rather than having local servers or dedicated devices to handle complex applications. This mechanism is extremely beneficial by harnessing unused or idle computers in the network to solve problem which is too intensive for any standalone computer.
Over the past few years several designs, prototypes, methodologies have been developed to tackle parallel computing problems. Moreover, specially designed servers were tailored to meet the parallel computing requirements. The major problem was, these servers were too expensive to handle and yet did not produce expected results. With the advent of multi core processors and virtualization technology, the problems seems to be diminishing and hence effective and powerful tools are built to achieve parallelization using the commodity machines. One of such tools is Hadoop.
Big Data
One of the key components in business analytics is "DATA". Data is ubiquitous in every field which mainly helps to forecast, vet, transact and consolidate any given business analytical problems. Sometimes, it also plays a major role as a failsafe by maintaining history of each event carried out during the course of development. In this competitive business world, the demand for data is increasing exponentially. Of late, the magnitude and type of data available to enterprises and the need for analyzing the data in real time for maximum business benefits is growing rapidly. With the advent of social media and networking services like Facebook, Twitter, search engines like Google, MSN and Yahoo, several e-commerce services and online banking services, the data is proliferating in the speed of light. These data may be unstructured and semi structured. We call this as Big Data.
Apparently, Big Data is measured in Terabytes, Petabytes, Exabyte and sometimes even more. Processing, managing and analyzing data in this magnitude is highly strenuous and has been a daunting task for the business analysts over the years. Traditional data management and analytical tools and technologies are striving to process large volumes of data due to the unprecedented weight of Big Data. Hence, new approaches are emerging to cope up this problem which will help the enterprises gain maximum values from Big Data. Thus, an open source framework called Hadoop got evolved.
What is HADOOP?
Hadoop is an open source software framework licensed under Apache Software Foundation, which is built for supporting data intensive applications running on large clusters and grids, so as to offer scalable, reliable, distributed computing. Apache Hadoop framework is predominantly designed for the distributed processing of large sets of data residing on clusters of computers using simple programming paradigm. It can be operated from single server to tens of thousands of computers, where each computer is responsible for local computation and storage. Apart from this, Hadoop framework also identifies and tackles node failures at the application layer there by offering high availability of the service.
Since, using Hadoop framework involves dozens of machines, it is imperative to understand the meaning of clusters and grids, although both work in a similar fashion with a subtle difference in their setup.
Typically, a cluster is a group of computers (nodes) with same hardware configurations connected to each other through fast local area network, where each node performs a desired task. The results from all the nodes are aggregated to solve a problem which usually requires high availability of the system with low latency.
A grid is similar to cluster but with a subtle difference where multiple nodes are distributed in different geographical locations and are connected to each other through internet. Apart from that, each node in the grid can have different operating system with different hardware configurations.
What makes Hadoop a Paramount tool?
In a distributed environment, data should be meticulously arranged across several computers to avoid inconsistency and redundancy in the results for a particular problem. Moreover, processing of these data should be done judiciously to achieve low latency. Hence, several factors influence the speed of the operation in a distributed computing system, like the way data is stored, the storage algorithm to manage the distributed data, the parallel computing algorithm to process distributed data, the fault tolerance check on each node etc.
In a nut shell, Apache Hadoop uses a programming model called MapReduce for processing and generating large data sets using parallel computing. MapReduce programming model was initially introduced by Google to support distributed computing on large data sets on clusters of computers. Inspired by Google's work, Apache came up with an open source framework for distributed computing with an end result as Hadoop. Hadoop is written in Java which makes it platform independent and hence, it is easy to install and use in any machine supporting Java.
The Apache Hadoop framework commonly consists of three major modules:
Hadoop Kernel
Hadoop Kernel also known as Hadoop Common provides an efficient way to access the file systems supported by Hadoop. This common package constitutes of necessary Java Archive (JAR) files and scripts which are required to start Hadoop.
MapReduce is a programming model primarily implemented for processing large data sets. This model was originally developed by Sanjay Ghemawat and Jeffrey Dean at Google. In a nut shell, MapReduce programming model takes a big task and divides it into discrete tasks that can be done in parallel. At its crux, MapReduce is a composite of two functions, map and reduce.
Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)
HDFS is a subproject of the Apache Hadoop project. Hadoop uses HDFS to achieve high data throughput access. HDFS is built using Java and runs on top of local file system. This was designed to process, read and write large data files with size ranging from Terabytes to Petabytes. An ideal file size is a multiple of 64 MB. HDFS stores large files across multiple commodity machines. Using HDFS you can easily access and store large data files split across multiple computers, as if you were accessing or storing local files. High reliability is gained by replicating the data across multiple nodes and hence does not require RAID storage on the nodes. The default replication value is 3 and hence data is replicated on three nodes.
The Apache Hadoop Framework is booming in the world of cloud computing and has been encouraged by several enterprises looking at its simplicity, scalability, reliability for confronting Big data problems. It imparts the fact that even a commodity Desktop PC can be used efficiently for computation of complex and massive data by forming a cluster of PCs which indeed minimizes the CPU idle time and judiciously delegates the tasks to the processors, making it cost effective.
It is innate, no matter how big is your data and how fast it grows, users always crave for the data retrieval speed forgetting about the fact that how complex the data is arranged and how difficult it is to process. The bottom line is, the speed and accuracy of analysis should not be decreased irrespective of the data size. Hence, cloud computing is the best solution which will suffice all the needs.

Infrastructure service and Management is one of the major functions in any IT Industry. Over the years IT Services has evolved from physical to virtual to cloud. Lately companies are either moving to the cloud or thinking about it. Most companies are still experimenting on what will work best for them. Major attraction for many IT services to the cloud is undoubtedly the cost factor and management itself. The current market shifts include the increasing virtualization of technology, acceptance of service-based management methodologies and Cloud computing as a new delivery model for IT functions and services.
So what are the types of Clouds and which best is suited for an organization?
Mainly there are 4 Types of clouds which are Public, Private, Community and Hybrid Clouds. An Organization has to decide which best suits their requirements, which again depends on many factors. Let's look into each of them in brief.
Majority of the Hybrid vendors provides IaaS services today. Some of them are VMWare, Rackspace, HP, IBM etc.
There are advantages and disadvantages of each one of them. Cost and Security are a major factor. We are not going in-depth on this topic.
Below Diagram shows a Hybrid Cloud. (Note- Not including the Community cloud).
According to the Gartner report Majority of the private and community cloud services will evolve to Hybrid cloud by 2017.
Hybrid IT
Hybrid IT is the mission and the operational model for IT infrastructure and operations in a cloud computing world.
So what is Hybrid IT?
Hybrid IT is an approach to enterprise computing in which an organization provides and manages some information technology (IT) resources in-house but uses cloud-based services for others. In short it is a mixture of IT resources from in-house and also services from the Cloud.
http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/definition/hybrid-IT )
Hybrid IT is transforming IT architectures and the role of IT itself, according to Gartner, Inc. Hybrid IT is the result of combining internal and external services, usually from a combination of internal and public clouds, in support of a business outcome. Hybrid IT relies on new technologies to connect clouds, sophisticated approaches to data classification and identity, and service-oriented architecture, and heralds significant change for IT practitioners. Workloads will move around in hybrid internal/external IT environments.
For critical applications and data, IT organizations have not adopted public cloud computing as quickly. Many IT organizations discover that public cloud service providers cannot meet the security requirements, integrate with enterprise management, or guarantee availability necessary to host critical applications. Therefore, organizations continue to own and operate internal IT services that house critical applications and data.
But Cloud is a means to improved efficiency, not an end in itself, and companies should not overlook the need to connect business goals and priorities. Now, IT has an opportunity to capitalize on its hard work in domain management, service Management and virtualization to leverage Cloud services for increased resiliency and efficiency.
There are many providers for Hybrid IT service management and one such provider is the HEAT Hybrid IT Service Management Solutions by Front Range. [ With this Hybrid IT Service Management solutions, organizations can easily Request a service or change, automatically approve and authorize the request, plan for appropriate remediation measures, automatically deploy the changes to the end users, monitor compliance and service level agreements and control their services portfolio on an ongoing basis to ensure enhanced service quality and customer satisfaction. ]
Without the need to deliver services rapidly and efficiently to the business, there would be no requirement for elastic and flexible computing environments. IT needs to be able to determine those services that will return the highest value to the business, and needs to be able to demonstrate the relative value propositions of in-house versus outsourced and Cloud versus traditional approaches.

To overcome poverty, hunger, environmental degradation, unemployment and human diseases, many developing countries will need to achieve faster and more sustained pro-poor economic growth. Good governance plays an essential role in reaching these goals. To navigate the difficult choices among policy and investment alternatives and governance reform options, policymakers and stakeholders need a holistic and dynamic approach, in which the interaction of policies is understood and pro-poor strategies are developed and implemented.

Strengthening Institutions and Governance
Research brochure
The Development Strategy and Governance (DSG) Division takes the lead at IFPRI to:
- Undertake policy research and outreach on strategic development options and governance reform options to achieve higher growth and greater poverty reduction in developing countries;
- Strengthen the capacity of developing countries in formulating and implementing pro-poor development strategies and governance reforms; and
- Improve the access of local policy analysts and researchers to knowledge and information, analytical tools, and data.
DSG's research agenda is geared towards exploring and finding answers to some of the following questions:
- Why do hunger and poverty persist despite major global efforts to overcome them during the second half of the 20th century?
- Why do some countries develop more successfully than others?
- What is the role of the agricultural and the rural sector in developing a pro-poor growth strategy?
- How do policy processes and governance influence development strategy formulation and decision-making?
- How can decentralization and local governance contribute to pro-poor rural development?
- How can the governance of agricultural sector institutions be improved?
- What should be the priorities for public investment to reduce poverty and increase food security?
- How can information and knowledge systems help policymakers successfully design, implement, and evaluate their strategies?
- How can research and analysis have a stronger bearing in policymaking, thus responding to knowledge gaps in developing countries?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Scott Pioli is out as general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, who have been negotiating the past two days with Andy Reid to become their next coach.Pioli and the team "mutually parted ways," the Chiefs said in a statement Friday. The decision came after four tumultuous seasons marked by poor draft choices, ineffective free-agent moves, failed coaching hires and a growing fan rebellion."I truly apologize for not getting the job done," Pioli said.The Chiefs fired coach Romeo Crennel on Monday after finishing 2-14, matching the worst record in their 53-year history. Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said other changes could be made, and indicated that Pioli's future could be determined by their next coach.A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press the team is nearing a deal with Reid, who was fired after 14 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. The person spoke to AP on condition of anonymity because negotiations were ongoing. It is believed that Reid would prefer to work with his own general manager."After several productive conversations, we made the difficult decision to part ways with Scott Pioli and allow him to pursue other opportunities," Hunt said in a statement Friday."This was a difficult decision for Scott as well," Hunt said. "He has a great deal of appreciation for the history of this franchise, for our players, coaches and employees, and especially our great fans."Kansas City will have the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, and with five players voted to the Pro Bowl, there are certainly pieces in place for the Chiefs to make rapid improvement.But most of those Pro Bowl players were drafted by Pioli's predecessor, Carl Peterson. The former Patriots executive struggled to find impact talent, particularly at quarterback, while cycling through coaches and fostering a climate of dread within the entire organization.Numerous longtime staff members were fired upon Pioli's arrival, and his inability to connect with fans resulted in unrest unlike anything the franchise has known. Some of them even paid for banners to be towed behind planes before home games asking that he be fired.Those fans finally got their wish.The biggest reason ultimately wasn't the banners and posters, but by the performance of the Chiefs. And that was a reflection of the roster Pioli assembled, one that looked good on paper but not on the field.Things were no better away from the field, either.On Dec. 1, linebacker Jovan Belcher shot the mother of his 3-month-old daughter, Kasandra Perkins, at a home not far from Arrowhead Stadium. He then drove to the team's practice facility and was confronted by Pioli, Crennel and defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs.Page 2 of 2 - After thanking the three of them for giving him a chance in the NFL, Belcher turned around in the parking lot, kneeled down and shot himself in the head.Pioli hasn't spoken publicly since then but issued a statement Friday in which he thanked the organization for giving him an opportunity to be its GM."The bottom line is that I did not accomplish all of what I set out to do," Pioli said. "To the Hunt family — to the great fans of the Kansas City Chiefs — to the players, all employees and alumni, I truly apologize for not getting the job done."Pioli often spoke of putting together "the right 53," but he routinely failed to do so.His biggest move upon being hired was trading for Patriots backup Matt Cassel and then giving him a $63 million, six-year deal. Cassel went to the Pro Bowl in 2010, when the Chiefs won a surprising AFC West title, but he struggled so mightily that he was benched this season.Many of Pioli's moves in free agency also backfired.Tight end Kevin Boss sustained a season-ending head injury in Week 2, running back Peyton Hillis was a shadow of his former self, right tackle Eric Winston got into a messy situation by calling out Chiefs fans during an early season loss, and cornerback Stanford Routt was cut under mysterious circumstances despite signing an $18 million, three-year contract.One of his biggest shortcomings was in the draft.He wasted the third overall pick in 2009 on defensive end Tyson Jackson, who has struggled to become an every-down player. The only other player who has made a contribution from Pioli's first draft has been kicker Ryan Succop, their seventh-round selection.Pioli fared better in 2010, when he nabbed Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry in the first round, but the past two years have been a disappointment. Wide receiver Jon Baldwin, his first-round pick in 2011, has barely made an impact, and defensive tackle Dontari Poe — the 11th overall pick last April — failed to make the kind of impression the Chiefs had hoped.Pioli didn't fare much better when it came to coaches.He fired Herm Edwards soon after he was hired and chose Todd Haley as the replacement, but their relationship was strained from the start. Haley was fired last December and Crennel made the interim coach, and then Pioli made the move permanent a few weeks after the season ended.While beloved and respected by his players, Crennel struggled in his second stint as a head coach, and was dismissed after a 2-14 finish — only the third time in team history the Chiefs failed to win at least three games in a season.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The Truckee volleyball team swept past visiting Incline in straight sets on Friday, 25-12, 25-12, 25-18.
The Wolverines built big early leads in the first two sets en route to easy wins. The Highlanders battled back in the third game, jumping out to an 8-4 lead before Truckee regrouped during a timeout and went on an 8-0 run to take over the lead for good.
"That last set was better, for sure," said Incline head coach Tacy Kelly. "We were communicating better. But Truckee is a solid team. They make plays."
Truckee head coach Erika Murphy said she used two setters in the match, which allowed regular starting setter Gabby Moretti the opportunity to swing away more, thus opening up the offense.
The coach named Moretti as her Player of the Match, as the senior finished with 16 assists, six kills, eight digs and three service aces. Chelsea Mohun also played setter, finishing with 10 assists and nine digs.
"The girls did well on the comeback in third game," Murphy said. "We dropped our play, but it was nice to see them rally."
Truckee junior outside hitter Mackenzie Redner tallied a match-high 12 kills to go along with her 10 digs, while libero Kestlie Stefanelli had a team-high 15 digs.
For Incline, Claire Kent finished with seven kills and seven digs, Kira Porter had four kills and 13 digs, Ronnie Flores had three kills and a match-high 21 digs, and Megan Golden had 15 assists and 13 digs.
Truckee improved to 15-9 overall and 5-0 in Mount Rose League play (7-0 against the Division I-A), while Incline fell to 11-8 overall and 3-3 in Mount Rose League play.
UP NEXT: Truckee will host North Tahoe on Wednesday at 6 p.m.

One editor tries to break out of her hair rut with seven hot hair flair ideas. What happens? Keep reading to find out
Disclaimer: My hair is super boring. On any given day, you can find it worn one of two ways: down and straight, or up in a messy bun (and not a cute messy bun -- just messy).
This isn't because I hate my hair; I actually think it's pretty, strong, and healthy. Instead, I have a problem with getting out of bed in the morning. So, if I roll out of the house in say, 15 minutes -- from bed to car -- and my hair looks OK as is, that's how it's going to stay.
Then, I get to work. Here's where I begin to regret my morning laziness. My coworkers spend more time on their hair than me. I know this because not only do they look fabulous, but I also hear them talk of blow dryers, curling irons, and time spent braiding and updo'ing in front of their bathroom mirrors -- routines that all happen before 8 a.m. And since I work in the beauty industry, creative hair is everywhere. You can't attend a single event without spotting the most gorgeous updos, Angel waves, or intricate braids. So, it was only a matter of time before my name was pulled for a hair dare.
Click here for the 7 Days of Outrageous Hair Flair.
After reporting on all the hair flair on the runways of this year's Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week, the staff has been obsessed with hair accessories. Floral crowns, turbans, bejeweled headbands -- you name it, it's on our radar. After weeks of gushing about the best hair flair, my coworkers stuck it to me: Wear different hair flair for an entire week.
I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but for someone who barely brushes her hair in the morning, this is kinda intense. (And by kinda, I mean very.) First concern: I'll look like a fool. Maybe if I ate at my desk all week, made limited bathroom breaks, and never left the office for coffee, I could pull this off. Too bad that monk-like existence doesn't really work for me. Second concern: Seven days is a loooong time. Could I really do it? No one likes to fail at a dare.
In the end, I agreed to the challenge. As for what happened? Keep clicking.

Typeface notes:
Designed by Eric Gill and released by the Monotype Corporation between 1928 and 1930, Gill Sans is based on the typeface Edward Johnston, the innovative British letterer and teacher, designed in 1916 for the signage of the London Underground. Gills alphabet is more classical in proportion and contains his signature flared capital R and eyeglass lowercase g. With distinct roots in pen-written letters, Gill Sans is classified as a humanist sans serif, making it very legible and readable in text and display work. The condensed, bold, and display versions are excellent for packaging or posters.
