WHEELING - Linsly's speed, athleticism and defensive intensity all but blew the Wheeling Central boys' basketball team out of its own gymnasium during Tuesday night's typical heated inter-city contest.
Smarting from two defeats to open the season against quality opponents, the defending Ohio Valley Athletic 2A Division champion Cadets exploded out to a 26-16 first quarter lead and survived a brief third-quarter hiccup to overpower the Maroon Knights 59-44.
Leading the orchestra for Linsly was sophomore Toddy Goodwin-Rowe with 21 points, six rebounds and three steals. With a near-packed house looking on, Goodwin-Rowe was virtually unstoppable whenever he worked his way into the paint where he could put his soft-shooting stroke on display. Overall, he was 7 of 12 from the field and netted all but one of his eight free-throw attempts.
''We've asked Toddy to step up and really mature this year,'' Linsly coach James Wallace said. ''He had a great night for us handling the basketball and defending. When he got the ball in the middle, Central couldn't do a whole lot to stop him.''
Wheeling Central (1-2) coach Mel Stephens had seen Goodwin-Rowe's act before and wasn't surprised to see him do it again.
''Toddy was just too much. We couldn't control him or (Anthony) Wallace. If those guys get the ball in the paint, good things usually happen for them," he said.
Wallace scored 15 points and also dished off for three assists while Jibri Blount added nine points, pulled down 11 rebounds and blocked four shots.
The Cadets never trailed, starting a game-opening 7-0 run by winning the opening tip and getting the ball inside to Blount for his one-handed layup.
Limiting the Maroon Knights to one shot on their first three possessions, Linsly quickly went up after Wallace's pull-up jumper, a transition basket by Arien Seymour, who added a free throw a few seconds latter after being fouled going up for another shot.
Central's Thomas Stanley broke the run with a nice move inside for a runner he put up off the glass.
The Maroon Knights got back to within 11-9, on freshman Chase Harler's jumper. However, Wallace drained a 3-pointer at the other end to keep the Cadets in front. Rowe would finish the first quarter with eight points, while Blount added six as the lead was extended into double figures.
''We had a rough start to our season against some really good teams (Parkersburg South and Obama Prep out of Pittsburgh),'' Coach Wallace said, ''but we got back to the fundamentals of trying to play good defense, blocking people out and getting rebounds. When we did that, we were very, very good.
''We defended hard. We were more physical and we executed our half-court defense really well.''
The Maroon Knights on the other hand, had difficulty getting any offensive flow.
''Early in the game, Chase was our only offense,'' Stephens noted.
Harler, making his first varsity start after two solid games coming off the bench, had a seven-point first quarter and went on to finish with a dozen. Central's only other double-figure scorer was junior David Park with 10 points. Park also had trouble getting open for shots as he was limited to only seven attempts the entire game.
''We just struggled on the offensive end,'' Stephens continued. ''In our last game we had 16 offensive rebounds (against Shadyside) in the first half. (Tuesday) I think we only had seven for the whole game. Once we got behind, we couldn't get back out of the hole. When we got the ball inside, we just could not finish.''

Hey Guys,
A few years ago (yes really), I wrote a O'Reilly shortcut on how to build Zimlet's for Zimbra. The market conditions changed after I started to write it, and O'Reilly recently informed me that they were giving up on publishing some shortcuts including mine, even though Andy Oram, editor extraordinaire and generally good guy had put a lot of effort into hammering my document into something useful.
So I am happy to announce that I got their agreement to go ahead and publish it to the Zimbra community. I am going to shoot to have one section a week published, and the first section - on general Zimbra architecture is now up.
See here for more details:
Zimlet Development - Zimbra :: Wiki
Please feel free to add feedback below, it will be a couple of sections before I start diving into code, but please let me know if there are issues with any of the code base!
Have fun.

Alex Gordon visits Red Stocking Breakfast (photos)
Diners at Saturday's Red Stocking Breakfast in Overland Park expected to see a few local celebrities…however, they may have been surprised to be served orange juice or coffee by Kansas City's third baseman.
Alex Gordon and wife Jamie took part in the Kansas Children's Service League's benefit, which served 600 breakfast-goers and raised nearly $26,000 for child abuse prevention and education programs in Johnson and Wyandotte counties.
While Gordon had fun serving juice and coffee, the fans wanted him to put down the tray and sign a few autographs.
Alex and Jamie finished with the visit to Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
Thank you to everyone who came out to help the KCSL on Saturday! For more information, visit www.kcsl.org.

This is going to sound so stupid... Oh, hi there!
Do you have fond memories of your first plays through the old LucasArts adventure games? Do you wish you could relive those experiences? Well, here's your chance! Join me on Livestream as I experience the majority of the old LucasArts library for the first time! Offer me advice to help me advance! Offer me false advice to hinder me! Watch and see if you can pinpoint the exact moment the game breaks my spirit and I resort to a walkthrough! Or just sit back and re-experience the novelty of a first playthrough!
Now, things are a little crazy for me right now, so there's not going to be any sort of schedule for how I do this. I might let you guys know a day ahead, or a few hours ahead, or I might just post in here and tell you guys I'm going to start playing something.
I've already played through the Monkey Island games, Hit the Road, and Grim Fandango, so I'll be running through Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Loom, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, and The Dig. As a bonus, I might also stream my first ever play of SBCG4AP Episode 5: 8-Bit is Enough. As an extra bonus, I might stream Hit the Road and Grim Fandango anyway, since Hit the Road confused the hell out of me and I haven't played Grim Fandango in a good long while.
I'll be broadcasting on my Livestream channel: http://livestream.com/guruguru214
So...anyone interested?

Word is Royce White is handling the ball the majority of the time in early Iowa State practices. Could excel as a point forward.
I think that would be ideal for this team if he can be really good at it. We would have some insane matchup advantages.
If he can develop a consistent 10-15 jumper, just iso him on the elbow and let him go to work.
Also, he will be great in the 2-man game. Let him start with the ball and create a dribble-drive handoff with another guard (Allen) where Royce would screen Allen's man as he is handing off. Then on the defensive switch you have Allen against Royce's defender (a big man having to guard on the perimeter) and Royce rolling and posting against Allen's defender (a small having to guard in the post). He is a matchup nightmare to say the least.
It's either a really good thing or a really bad thing. No middle ground.
Don't confuse hope for a plan.
I would assume that if he is doing it it is because he is doing it well. We do have players who can handle the ball on our team that can handle basic responsibilities if we need it.
I'd rather have an average point guard surrounded by 4 good playmakers than a good PG surrounded by average talent. It ****** me off to no end watching Diante make great no look passes that bounced off an unsuspecting players face/chest.

This is true, although I think the reason for it, is a little of both. Hopefully the end result is really good though.
Regardless, we can have lineups where everyone on the court can dribble. If the starting line up from Italy remains, Ejim would be our worst ball handler. That tells me that getting the ball up the court shouldn't be a huge problem against most teams.
If he can play point forward in the Big 12 that will be a very good thing. I have doubts he can though.
But I do think we have people that can play point guard. It'll look different than DG (who will be missed more than a lot of people care to admit) but it should be OK.
I would contend that it will be important for Royce to be able to dribble with either hand equally well.
Otherwise, he will be doubleteamed late and his "off hand" will be attacked and pushed away from the direction in which he feels comfortable dribbling.
Hey, whatever Fred thinks is best, I'm there.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
J.R.R. Tolkien
When I was in HS our big guy brought the ball down the floor in man-to-man defense because he had good handles and the guy guarding him would just take off for the other end of the court. Not sure how Royce at point works with full pressure. Maybe he's better than what I am imagining. Gotta trust CFH!
That ... is going to be really weird looking.
Cy has balls of steel.
If he can handle the ball that well, picture him bringing the house down on fast break dunks. This team might not live up to the hype, but I'll bet they're the most fun team to watch since the Stinson/Blalock years.
"You have great authority in your quotes, if you ascribe them to someone else."
-Some Guy
He doesn't have to be a great dribbler because he won't be guarded by a pesky PG. It's about creating mismatches. If the defense has an answer for him we'll go a different way.
Royce CAN pass so he'll find somebody if the mismatch is there.
I would think that Royce moving out would drag out a big man from the middle. Potentially, this would make a lot of space for guys cutting to the basket.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
I think the most important factor that will effect his success is his fantastic passing ability, not necessarily his dribbling. Since a big man will be guarding him. If he gets doubled he can get rid of the ball and get it to an open man.
i'm not worried about PG. i'm worried about defense and rebounding, both of which were horrible last year.

The only thing that would have me worried about ball handling is he might get automatically double teamed/trapped when crossing half court every time down the floor. With his size and height though, a cool head would be enough to pass out of it, especially if his passing ability is as good as coach says.

Fairfax, VA (Sports Network) - Jonathan Arledge scored a game-high 23 points
as the George Mason Patriots registered a 62-52 win over the Western Michigan
Broncos in the semifinals of the College Basketball Invitational at the
Patriot Center.
Arledge, the only player to score in double figures for George Mason (21-14),
converted all eight of his attempts at the free-throw line and was 7-of-11
from the floor for the hosts.
The Broncos (22-13) were paced by David Brown who tallied 13 points off the
bench, but he connected on only 4-of-12 from the field and missed all five of
his chances behind the 3-point line. Shayne Whittington and Brandon Pokley
accounted for 12 and 10 points, respectively, as well as seven rebounds
WMU led by as many as nine points in the first half, but the team ended up
shooting only 7-of-20 from the floor, including 2-of-12 beyond the arc, which
allowed the hosts to battle back and claim a 27-20 advantage at the break. The
Patriots made good on just 1-of-9 on the perimeter over the first 20 minutes
of action, but made up for it with 10-of-11 at the free-throw line.
In the second half George Mason again struggled on the outside (1-of-7), but a
solid 14-of-17 showing at the charity stripe kept the team on track for the
double-digit win.
The Patriots were guilty of 18 turnovers and struggled from 3-point range, but
the team also forced 23 miscues and outscored the visitors at the free-throw
line by a 24-13 margin.
With the victory the Patriots now begin a three-game championship series
against the winner of the Santa Clara/Wright State matchup.

I have a new install of ZCS8.0.3 on Ubuntu 12.04.
All is good except sending mail to an external MTA, in this case Bluehost's smtp server. I am receiving emails just fine from the mail accounts outside the zimbra. Been searching over the forum for the day and the closest description of my problem is zimbra replaces the "from" address of outgoing mails with the zimbra account name (and local domain) the mail is sent from causing my ISP's smtp server to bounce it back.
I tried setting zimbraSmtpRestrictEnvelopeFrom to FALSE but nada. Followed Flieben's post [SOLVED] Send mails from external account trough Zimbra to the letter but no luck either.
Can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!

Easy to digest
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
These make me less nauseous than most electrolyte tablets. I think they have less ingredients and less weird sugar substitutes. So far, I can drink this in the morning, at altitude and feel pretty good.
This tastes really good and I prefer it over many other kinds of drinks. It is a great hydrator, and I use it on most of my trips. I highly recommend it
Tasty way to get your electrolytes
The Nuun natural hydration tablets do the trick without pouring on the calories; what more could you need? Maybe good taste and convenience, both of which they offer. I don't ever mind dropping one in my water bottle. Sold!
Just got these and they're great! My favorite's are the Tangerine Ginger and the Goji berry green tea. Both are really delicious! During a lunch break in anyone of my outdoor activities I like to pop one of these in water and I feel great afterwards. Both taste good and don't have that chemical flavor a lot of sport drinks do. They also include more than just two of the essential electrolytes versus gatorades or propel that have just sugar and salt. I highly recommend!
My Latest Obsession!
I recently picked up a couple of tubes of this because I love the original Nuun and was looking for something that wasn't quite so sweet. Ooh, la, la. I just found my new obsession.
I have, so far, tried the Gogi Berry Green Tea and the Lemon Chai. The flavors remind me more of tea than a sports drink and I have doubled the amount of water I drink over the last week. I love drinking it so I end up drinking more. It is flavored with Stevia Leaf Extract so it is super low calorie but safe to drink. Plus, I am trying to kick a caffeine habit and this gives me the taste of a caffeinated tea beverage without the caffeine.
I tried the Tangerine flavor and didn't love it. It may have not been what I was expecting so it didn't taste good to me. But, I can safely say that I am loving the two tea flavors more and more every day.
Does this have any caffeine in it?

According to The Seattle Times, the suspect is Ian Lee Stawicki, 40, of Seattle, whose brother says he is mentally ill.
Florida Democrats are wondering what's up with Republican Gov. Rick Scott's effort to purge illegal voters from the state's rolls before this year's elections, partially in response to legal voters being booted.

Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel has already had a rough week, having to give back more than $100,000 in campaign contributions in response to an FBI investigation. Today The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Politifact website looked into one of the five claims made in Mandel's new 30-second TV ad, and it seems to be pretty false. Mandel claims that his opponent, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, "cast the deciding vote on the government takeover of health care." Politifact notes that since the health care overhaul passed by the minimum 60 votes necessary, that every vote was technically "deciding." But, on the other hand, Brown was an early supporter of the legislation, and it is widely known that Ben Nelson of Nebraska was the final "yes" vote to join. Plus, technically, Brown was the seventh person to vote because it was taken in alphabetical order.
Ohio public schools have received a waiver for parts of No Child Left Behind that will remove a requirement to get all of their students proficient in math and reading by 2014. Nineteen states have received the waiver, meaning they'll have to create their own federally approved academic progress standards.

The Ohio Supreme Court late last week dismissed a legal challenge by the Campaign to Protect Marriage, which had filed a motion challenging the attorney general's authority to verify a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow same-sex marriage. The Freedom to Marry coalition is collecting the necessary signatures to put a repeal of the state's 2004 amendment that only recognizes marriage as between a man and a woman on the ballot in 2013.
City Councilman Wendell Young says there's nothing secret about a plan to combine the region's water and sewer agencies even though most people assumed to be needed for approval know little about it. The Enquirer today detailed a plan to integrate the Metropolitan Sewer District, Stormwater Management Utility and Greater Cincinnati Water Works, potentially by September, in an attempt to save money. The plan will reportedly be shared with Council June 20.

Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel has returned more than $100,000 in campaign contributions in response to an FBI investigation into 21 donors who had no record of giving to federal campaigns and many appearing to have low incomes. Mandel, a Republican, is running against incombent Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown. Mandel's campaign treasurer Kathryn Kessler sent a letter to donors explaining that any contributions appearing to be under investigation would be refunded.
From The Toledo Blade:
Although the campaign provided a copy of the letter to The Blade, it would not explain the timing of the decision or how long it has been aware of the federal probe.
The Blade revealed the unusual pattern of contributions in August.
The company's owner, Benjamin Suarez, and 16 of his employees (plus some of their spouses) gave about $200,000 to Mr. Mandel and U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci (R., Wadsworth) last year. Each of those donors gave $5,000, the maximum allowable amount, to one or both candidates.
The Ohio Senate yesterday passed new fracking regulations, and the final version caused some environmental organizations to change their stance on the bill. The Ohio Environmental Council and the Sierra Club had both been neutral on the legislation until changes were made forcing anyone suing over chemical trade secrets to show current or potential harm, according to The Enquirer. The regulations are part of Kasich's new energy bill and easily passed both the Senate and House and is expected to be signed by Kasich soon.

"The Republicans who are informally auditioning would each bring different strengths — and drawbacks — to the presidential ticket.
Ohio Sen. Rob Portman supported Romney early, has a solid rapport with the candidate and hails from Ohio, a critical battleground state that could decide the election. But he wouldn't necessarily appeal directly to Hispanic or women voters.
(Louisiana Gov. Bobby) Jindal, the Louisiana governor, could help Romney turn out the religious right and would add diversity to the ticket as an Indian-American, but he struggled during a national debut rebutting the 2010 State of the Union address.
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell appeals to social conservatives but signed a controversial state law that requires Virginia women to have ultrasounds before having an abortion.
New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who's campaigned frequently with Romney, could help with female voters and in her swing state of New Hampshire. But she's from New England, the same region of the country as Romney, while (New Jersey Gov. Chris) Christie, a conservative favorite who can work a crowd, is from New Jersey.
(Florida Sen. Marco) Rubio could bring Florida, always a deciding factor in a general election, and appeal to Hispanics, a fast-growing voting bloc, but he's run into some trouble over a foreclosed home and possible misuse of an official credit card. And Ryan is a serious, leading policy mind with a bright future — and a brand name that's directly tied to a controversial budget that would make major changes to Medicare."

A Columbus tavern owner has lost his freedom isn't free battle in the Ohio Supreme Court, which yesterday unanimously ruled that the state's smoking ban is constitutional. The owner of Zeno's Victorian Village had racked up thousands of dollars in fines after 10 citations for violating the ban from July 2007 and September 2009. The state has reportedly threatened to seize the bar if the fines are not paid.

We Are Ohio, the organization that helped repeal SB5 last year, says it will team up with nonpartisan Ohio Voters First to help put on the November ballot a constitutional amendment that would change the way legislative and congressional districts are drawn. The effort is in response to Republican-drawn redistricting maps that attempted to create 12 solidly GOP districts and four Democratic districts. The proposal calls for a nonpartisan commission to redraw legislative and congressional boundaries rather than letting politicians and anyone who gives them money do it.

The Enquirer on Tuesday reported that the University of Cincinnati and Xavier University have agreed to move the Crosstown Shootout to U.S. Bank Arena for two years in response to last year's massive brawl. NBC Sports today reported that the presents of both universities issued a press release in response, stating that no final decision had been made.
The University of Cincinnati and Xavier University were both surprised to see today's announcement concerning the future of the Crosstown Shootout. While both schools are committed to the future of the Crosstown rivalry, specific discussions are ongoing and no details have been finalized. We look forward to sharing our plans with the community at an appropriate time in the coming weeks.
If it does happen, The Enquirer's Bill Koch says it's reasonable, while Paul Daugherty says that's fine but kind of dumb.
President Obama is finding it rather difficult to even win primaries against nobodies in the South. Not that it's surprise or really matters, though.
Of course, there are reasons for these kinds of returns. Few Democrats are voting in these primaries where Obama faces only token opposition; only protest voters are truly motivated.
There's also the fact that Obama is an underdog to Republican candidate Mitt Romney in the states of Kentucky, Arkansas, and West Virginia; Obama lost all three in 2008 to John McCain.
Another potential factor: Race.

The Music Hall Revitalization Co. will meet Thursday to consider its next move after the city of Cincinnati decided not to sell the historic building to the nonprofit organization, prompting the resignation of the Revitalization Co.'s leader. The resident arts organizations issued a joint statement yesterday offering to work with the city and private donors to revive the project in some form. Some arts supporters contend that local philanthropic leaders will not donate to the project while it is city owned.
In the wake of last season's Crosstown Shootout melee, officials from UC and Xavier have decided to play the annual game at U.S. Bank Arena for the next two seasons.

the historic building to receive tax credits toward its renovation.
Mayor Mallory on Sunday told The Enquirer that selling the building
was not part of any discussion he's willing to have. While city
leaders hope a public-private partnership like that which has
renovated Washington Park can help update the building, organizers
with the Music Hall Revitalization Co. say some donors willing to
contribute to the private renovation of the building will not
contribute to the project while it is city owned. On Saturday, the Music Hall Revitalization Co.'s leader, Jack Rouse, resigned.

Jury selection in the trail of former Goldman Sachs/Procter & Gamble board member Rajat Gupta began today in federal court in Manhattan. Gupta is accused of insider trading stemming from a 2008 phone call that authorities have already used to convict hedge fund manager Raj Rajaratnam, who is currently serving an 11-year sentence. From the AP:
Rajaratnam has been the biggest catch so far in a wide-ranging insider-trading investigation by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara that's resulted in more than two dozen prosecutions of white collar defendants. But based on Gupta's standing in the world of finance, his trial could draw more attention — and a potential conviction could resonate farther.
Aside from his role at Goldman Sachs, the Indian-born Gupta is the former chief of McKinsey & Co., a highly regarded global consulting firm that zealously guards its reputation for discretion and integrity.
Gupta, 63, is also a former director of the huge consumer products company Procter & Gamble Co., a pillar of American industry and one of the 30 companies that make up the Dow Jones industrial average. P&G owns many well-known brands including Bounty, Tide and Pringles.
Researchers have created a national registry of wrongful conviction exonerations that has identified 873 faulty convictions during the past 23 years that have been recognized by authorities. The registry's founders say the collection is only a fraction of such convictions and that it demonstrates a serious problem with America's criminal justice system.
"What this shows is that the criminal justice system makes mistakes, and they are more common than people think," said University of Michigan law professor Samuel Gross, the registry's editor. "It is not the rule, but we won't learn to get better unless we pay attention to these cases."
Mitt Romney is having some trouble getting conservative donors to back his campaign. Meanwhile, Obama continues to talk about Romney's business dealings.
The John Edwards jury is still in deliberations today trying to determine whether the former Democratic presidential candidate conspired to violate election laws while hiding an extramarital affair during his campaign. Prosecutors say Edwards solicited more than $900,000 from a 101-year-old woman named Rachel "Bunny" Mellon and a Texas lawyer to hide a child from his wife, who had cancer at the time.

Republican John Williams led hunter by 23 votes on election night 2010, but Hunter filed a lawsuit over provisional ballots cast at incorrect polling stations that weren't counted. After a recount of 286 provisional ballots, Hunter moved ahead by 74 votes. Republican board of election members reportedly plan to argue that the 286 should not have been recounted.
The Enquirer's Mark Curnutte today offered an analysis of recently released census data that shows a steady growth of the regional Hispanic population and a growth of minority population in areas outside the city that were once largely white. Cincinnati's data suggests that the city and region are slightly different than the nation's overall trend, which in 2011 for the first time found a majority of the country's under 1-year-old population minority (50.4 percent), up from 49.5 percent in 2010.
Included in The Enquirer's story, which included a profile of a Mexican-American Florence family that moved to Northern Kentucky eight years ago from Los Angeles:
A decrease of 1.3 percentage points in Hamilton County's black population under 5 was countered by increases in the black population under 5 in each of the region's six other core counties: Butler, Clermont and Warren in Ohio and Boone, Campbell and Kenton in Kentucky.
Overall, the regional population of Hispanic children under 5 years rose from 7,583 in 2010 to 8,032 in 2011, a proportional increase of 0.4 percentage points to 6.1 percent.
The family of a teenager fatally shot by a Cincinnati police officer on Fountain Square last summer has filed a federal lawsuit alleging police used excessive force and violated 16-year-old Davon Mullins' constitutional rights.

WHEELING-With Wheeling Central's all-state guard Emily Bucon sidelined indefinitely because of a knee injury, Linsly jammed everything but the team bus in the lane trying to contain Colleen McCormick, the other half of the Maroon Knights' dynamic duo.
The Cadets' sagging zone that often had the 5-foot-9 McCormick triple-teamed whenever she touched the ball worked for a while but not long enough. After taking just one shot and going scoreless in the opening quarter, McCormick took over the game. She fired in 23 points and pulled down 20 rebounds in leading once-beaten Central to hard earned 47-43 victory against their city rival Thursday night.
''I'm really, really frustrated and really proud at the same time," said Cadets' coach Erica Hall after her team just came up short in its bid to knock off West Virginia's No. 3 ranked Class A power. ''We threw everything we had at McCormick. She is an awesome player."
When she couldn't find room inside to shoot the ball, McCormick stepped outside and drained two key 3-pointers. The three-year starter was also perfect from the free-throw line, hitting 9-for-9, including four key free throws in the final minute.
''We need these kind of games from her," Central coach Penn Kurtz said. ''I was hoping we would come out a little calmer than we did, but we let their press rattle us.
''With Emily, we attack the press and look to score. These guys were not comfortable enough to attack it, and we let Linsly stay in the game."
It was a typical intra-city battle from start to finish as neither team backed down despite the physical play. The biggest margin of the night was eight points late in the first quarter when Emma Cecil's one-hander from the elbow put Linsly in front 13-5.
However, Knights junior Delaney Denniston rebounded a teammate's missed shot and turned it into an old-fashioned three points with a hoop and harm conversion just ahead of the buzzer.
Linsly's fast start was helped out by freshman Morgan Brunner's five points on a layup and a 3-pointer from the right sideline.
''Our pressure defense was great in the first quarter," Hall said. ''But I think we got a little lackadaisical because McCormick wasn't scoring. We lost track of her a few times and she showed up real quick."
Central's first lead came at 16-15 with 2:27 left in the half as McCormick's first 3-pointer and two free throws along with a foul shot by Lindsey Baker helped erase a five-point Cadets advantage. Baker drained two more foul shots to put the Knights up by three. Late in the half, Linsly closed the gap to 21-19 on a runner from 12 feet by J.J. Jackson.
The lead changed hands four times in the third quarter and free-throw shooting turned out to be decisive. Linsly missed its first seven attempts before finished four of 13. Central, meanwhile, netted 16 of 20 from the line.
Linsly had three double figure scorers, led by Brunner's 16 points. Jackson followed with 12 points and seven rebounds while Cecil had 11 points. McCormick was Central's lone double-digit performer but Denniston provided some key help coming off the bench to contribute eight points.
The Maroon Knights were hit with still another knee injury early in the fourth quarter when Cate Calissie took a hard fall to the court and was helped off the court. After the game, the concerned Kurtz said that Calissie's knee will be evaluated today to determine the extent of her injury.

After reading an article that begged to be mocked and made fun of, I decided I'm not going to do any of that, mainly because I suspect that was the writer's intent. Instead I thought I would test his belief on how vital situational hitters are to a lineup, because they are above the silly overrated things like getting on base and hitting for power. This is an exercise in pointlessness I realize but I'm doing it just to satisfy my own morbid curiosity.
The first thing I needed to decide was which situational hitter's stats to use, but lucky for me Kansas City just so happens to have one of the game's most valuable players at hitting ground balls, Chris Getz. For the purposes of this exercise I'm going to ignore that he lost his job to a rookie last year.
Using Baseball Musing's Lineup Analysis tool I punched in Getz's on-base percentage (.309) and slugging percentage (.283) since joining the Royals. Are you ready for the magic?
2.979 runs per game. 483 runs per year.
To put it in a perspective we can all relate to, the Royals scored 700+ runs all four seasons in which they have lost 100 games or more.
When a player's entire skill set is situational hitting then that player is merely a placeholder until a better player comes along. So let's not act like they're just as important as the guys who are actually producing, okay?

Rookie seeking help to make the right choice
Posted 13 February 2013 - 02:05 PM
I have used this set up for about a month now, and I feel like I don't have enough time to view everything I want especially when I take a trip for a night to go to a dark location. I'm a workaholic working +80ish hours a week, so time is very valuable after getting off work at night. So I have been thinking about selling my mount and buy a computerized mount like Celestron VX. Do you think im making a good choice going with a Goto mount? Or am I moving on too fast? I even want to start studying astronomy which is sort of crazy, but I found a hobby that I truly think it will last a life time along with my bank balance draining at the same time.
thank you in advance,

I mostly do imaging (where goto is extremely valuable) but if I do want a quick glimpse through the eyepeice or especially if I am just trying to show a few guests a globular cluster or M51 through the eyepiece having goto makes the whole experience a lot more fun!

I have the same 150mm OTA and I just used my new Advanced VX mount for the first time last night. I had a 102mm f6.5 frac on the mount, not the 150 but I feel very confident that the VX will handle the 150 with zero difficulty. The mount performed even better than I had hoped for. I started my career starhopping with an ETX 90. I paid my dues! I love the GOTO!
Clear Skies,
Posted 13 February 2013 - 05:01 PM
A used CG-5 could be a great deal right now but I wouldn't hesitate to get a VX even at list price. It is an outstanding mount.

mpgxsvcd, I subscribed to your channel. I need whole lot of advices on cameras. I'm not ready to do any astrophotography, but who knows in few years(I'll rock with my smartphone when I can) I just enjoy most of you guys' work, and the Hubble's astrophotography. And holy molly, some of the videos got quarter million views.
Posted 13 February 2013 - 07:43 PM
You don't even have to adjust the speed to zip around and slow down (on a CG-5 and, I presume, also the VX). Just press the button for the direction you want to go and, while it's pressed, also press the opposite button. It'll slew in the original direction at full speed as long as both are pressed. Release the second button and slewing in the same direction at the slower speed resumes. Slick!
Using the go-to capabilities is a choice. You don't *have* to press the enter key. Simply use the direction arrows to slew around and star hop that way. Keep in mind you can adjust the speed the mount slews with two button presses so you can zip around and then slow down and crawl.
I'm not sure what happens if you release the first button while keeping the second pressed. I may have to try it. If the universe suddenly ends, it may be my fault.

But beware you're on the slippery slope now! In 15 years I've gone from a small scope on an alt-az push-to mount with digital setting circles to a 5" apo on an Astro-Physics mount with a CCD camera. But it is such a rewarding hobby in so many ways its been worth every penny and all the time. Enjoy your new hobby!

I also work long hours and my eyepiece time is very precious. I bought a used LX200 12 years ago and haven't looked back. Since then I've installed tracking and "go to" in my homemade dob.

Thank you Seattle StarGazer, and Jimbo. I don't have to polar align this thing. It isn't completely accurate when it star hops, but I just played with it for 30mins. So far I love it.
Posted 19 February 2013 - 03:06 AM
You made a good choice.
Star hopping is great and I practice it when I have time.
But when I want to observe many objects over a short time nothing beats a good goto mount.
I also found that for short grab and go sessions from my back yard nothing beats my push-to setup DM4 +sky commander +4.5" refractor.
I keep it assembled, and it takes me 3 minutes to carry the whole thing outside do a two star alignment and start observing. It is simplicity incarnate.

ATLANTA -- The TSA is relaxing the rules on what you can bring on-board domestic and international flights after April 25th.
They say it's to focus attention on higher threat items like explosives.
MORE | Complete list of allowed items now
But one of the things you can now bring on-board is causing quite a stir.
It's a pocket knife.
Small baseball bats that are 24 ounces or less, golf clubs, a pool cue, a lacrosse stick and even ski pole are all now allowed as carry-on.
With aircraft overhead space already scarce, nobody knows just where all this stuff will go.
But causing the biggest passenger and crew concerns are the pocket knives.
To bring them on-board, the knife blades must be 2.36 inches or less and no more than a half inch wide.
But still on the banned list are box cutters, razors and knives with molded grips or fixed blades.
"I don't ever want to get on a plane if someone could bring that on there," said Maria Walker, an airline passenger.
"I don't like it. It's dangerous. Somebody could stab you while you are on the plane. I don't like it all," said another passenger, Jorge Perez.
And passenger Larry Batchelor added "I am just concerned for the safety of the passengers regardless of the fact that the cockpit doors are reinforced. I am thinking about the crew and the passengers."
It's a worry shared by flight attendants.
"We believe this is a slippery slope. What will be the next weapon that can come aboard. We are here to protect and serve passengers and also ourselves and we don't want to see weapons unnecessarily introduced on-board the aircraft," said Veda Shook of the Association of Flight Attendants.
But not everyone is against bringing pocket knives on-board.
"I don't have a problem with it. I used to carry a knife bigger than that when I flew before the tragedy," said passenger Michael Mason.
For now the TSA is sticking to its plan to make the changes at the end of April.

Rule 5 Draft 101
Every year at the Winter Meetings, one of the last orders of business is the Rule 5 Draft, an event that leaves many of us – even those of us in baseball – scratching our heads and asking once again, "What exactly is the Rule 5 Draft?"
This question became even more relevant for us when we found out that the Royals selected right-hander Joakim Soria with the No. 2 pick of the Rule 5 Draft Thursday morning.
Enter Dean Taylor, the Royals assistant general manager, with an insider's perspective on interpreting the clause-filled rule.
"This draft is put into place to give players who have not had an opportunity to play at the Major League level a chance to possibly play with another club," Taylor says. "It's all about the evaluating and re-evaluating of players based on the needs of each individual club."
It's also about keeping teams from hoarding all their talent in their minor league systems, not to mention forcing each club to protect those on the 40-man roster.
On the most basic level, there are three phases of the Rule 5 draft: the Major League segment, Triple-A and Double-A. For the major league phase, a player falls into Rule 5 Draft eligibility if (a) he is on a minor league roster and signed his first contract prior to the 2002 Rule 5 Draft for players who were 18 or younger on June 5th, prior to signing their first contract or (b) prior to the 2003 Rule 5 Draft for players who were 19 or older on June 5th prior to signing their first contract. Clear as mud, right?
Here's an example. Royals left-hander Andrew Sisco was a past Rule 5 selection for the Royals. He was picked by Kansas City from the Cubs roster in December 2004. Sisco, who went 2-5 with a 3.11 ERA as a rookie in 2005, needed to stay on the big league roster all season or be offered back to Chicago.
This year many teams, including the Royals, benefited from a recent rule change that included the addition of an extra year before a player becomes Rule 5 eligible. The change resulted in the protection of a handful of top Royals prospects – including pitchers Tyler Lumsden and Billy Buckner, and outfielder Chris Lubanski – without adding them to the 40-man roster.
"I have a feeling because of the added year in the eligibility requirements, there will be fewer players available in the major league phase," Taylor adds the night before the draft. "Fewer guys need to be protected this year."
A team is only able to pick up any of these eligible selections if it has an opening on the 40-man roster. The night before this year's draft, the Royals were staring down a full 40-man roster, causing them to release right-hander Runelvys Hernandez in order to open a spot.
For teams with a selection, the Rule 5 Draft isn't just a wide-open farmer's market of talented ballplayers. There's a kicker that forces each team to really consider their draft selection. Each Rule 5 pick must be kept at the major league level the entire following season or be offered back at a bargain price – half of the $50,000 selection price – to his former team.
When it is time for a team to select, Taylor breaks the evaluation down into two categories.
"There are generally two types of players a club is looking for. Sometimes a club is looking for a role player, someone to fill a specific spot such as backup catcher or a left-handed pitcher," Taylor says, "but, more than not, a club is just hoping to find a diamond in the rough."
The new question: Did the Royals find a Roberto Clemente (1954) or a Johan Santana (1999) "diamond in the rough" player with this year's Rule 5 pick?
5 Comments
Either way I think it was a good move. Nothing against Hernandez, but for a player the staff and fans had so many expectations for, showing up out of shape, overweight, and not performing, I think it isn't much of a gamble letting hime go.
I would agree with"cfb6xc". Except I had a lot against Hernandez. I think he was one of those that was just happy to have a major league contract.
Regarding the Winter Meetings, I want to offer my congratulations to Mr.Moore and the entire staff! IF these signings result in only 20 fewer losses, then this team will be at least .500 for 2007. I feel that would be a great improvement! As skinny as the farm system was when Mr.Glass bought the team, it's no surprise it has taken some time to re-build it. Allard Baird managed to start the re-build… I think Dayton Moore is the right guy to put this team into contention.
At least with the talent coming up through the Minors, and these signings, we can have some hope for the future! It clearly shows that Mr. Glass made the right move hiring Dayton Moore, and props to Mr.Glass for giving him the financial resources to work with!
I apologize, I didn't really try to give my opinion on the question:
Did the Royals find a Roberto Clemente (1954) or a Johan Santana (1999) "diamond in the rough" player with this year's Rule 5 pick?
Maybe, Maybe not.
I think even the Royal's crystal ball has been defective over the last several years.
Should he be better than Hernandez?? Sure! But I don't think Hernandez was in the picture for 2007 with or without Soria. My return question is: If this guy was so good, why was he left unprotected?
I do agree with taking a flyer on him though.
Another question: Have the Royals improved their instructional staff enough to bring the Johann Santana out of this guy… if he's in there!
Dayton and Dean have a beter eye for talent than past regimes. It is obvious they have identified a plan to revamp the minor league system, add an affiliate, and put new programs in place for development.
The Royals have had a history of not being able to develop pitching. Throwing too many pitches, and focusing on power arms instead of good pitchers. Bannister is a good indication that has changed, and I applaud. The willingness to cut loose most of the former prospects like Affeldt, Hernandez, Bautista, Howell etc, also says the have a better idea of what constitutes a good pitcher.
Now, I just hope their is someone paying atention to some of the stats about how pitchers fail when they take major jumps in innings pitched.
Some have said I'm too optimistic about he changes. But I see not only .500, but I see us having just as good a chance to win the division as anyone else. We might not have the 2 or 3 starters that take you deep into the playoffs yet, but we have the talent to get there and get the experience. GO Royals, and get your 90 wins in 2007!
You heard it here first. The Royals will be the talk of baseball in 2007. Alex Gordon will be chasing Rookie of the Year, and the Royals will play meaningful games for the first time since '94. I hope we are looking to add an Ace at he trading deadline who is a FA at the end of the season, like Colon, Jennings, Livan Hernandez, Smoltz or Carlos Zambrano.

PCC in the News
News: Men's Hoops Reach Conso Finals Of Santa Barbara CC Classic
The state No. 15-ranked Pasadena City College men's basketball team doubled up host Santa Barbara City, 78-39, Friday to reach the consolation finals of the 41st SBCC Classic. The Lancers (7-4) play Bakersfield Saturday, Dec. 14 at 3 p.m. in the fifth place final.
After opening the game on a 17-5 run, the Lancers continued to pour it on and actually tripled the Vaqueros score by halftime, 39-13. PCC used a full-court press at times defensively that SBCC could not get by. Pasadena was never threatened in the second half and won by the lopsided margin. The Lancers totaled 18 steals.
Forward Taj Spencer led the way for the Lancers with 15 points and three steals while center Faruk Oyalade (pictured) picked up 10 points and 10 rebounds. PCC shot well from the floor due to a bevy of layup baskets at 52.8 percent.
On Thursday, PCC lost a tough one to Victor Valley, 87-85, in the opening round of the tourney. VVC is the second-highest scoring team in the state. Pasadena is No. 13 at points per game at 78.9 per contest. Guard Adrian Miles scored a team-high 24 points while sophomore point guard Jeffrey Dockett added 11 points, five assists and five steals. Second-year forward Rashad Smith contributed 10 points.

I have a Promaster 525T tripod and 6160 head that I really like for times when I plan to really use them. This head is pretty smooth and works very well for me. I was thinking though of getting a real lightweight head, maybe a ball head, for times when I don't plan to use the tripod much. I could get by without the smooth panning when I'm just using the spotter for judging game and not finding it. The 6160 head weighs right at 1lb with it's QA mount, anything much lighter I should look at?
Thanks for your help.

If you're not making as much money blogging as you dreamed you would, here's the magic pill:
Dear friend,

Below are two links but you are allowed to click on only one of them, which one will you choose?
http://www.1shoppingcart.com/affiliate-id=3i4ud98fdf &merchant_id=934idf5
http://www.yourblog.com/review /boost your_blog_traffic
No doubt, you'll choose the second one. Nobody likes clicking a hideous, meaningless link.

Are you a victim of link theft and affiliate sabotage?
When you use affiliate link directly then there's always a possibility that other can replace your affiliate information with their own and earn commissions themselves instead of you.
Discourage them. Get MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate and cloak your affiliate links to stop commission theft right then and there.
Who would dare to steal your commission by mixing their own id now?
It's YOUR hard earned commission, don't let anyone mess with it. Load yourself with Ninja Affiliate and earn the commissions you deserve.
[ Note: Please read your affiliate network's TOS(Terms of Service) before activating this feature because some of the affiliate network won't allow to cloak their links. ]
Imagine that you are an affiliate of a very good affiliate program which is paying you hefty commissions. You promoted it hard and spreaded this link to various places. Now suddenly this company shuts down its door and it no longer gives you the commission for sending visitors to their website. What will you do? Can you change all the hundreds of links that you've already spreaded out to lots of places in the web? Of course not! You're in total loss and in some serious trouble.
But if you use MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate then you can just be relieved, join another similar affiliate program and simply replace the old link by the new link from Ninja Affiliate back office. That's all. There's nothing to loose and no hurdle to tackle with. It's easy.
MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate allows you to change the link with another affiliate program so that no deep trouble comes between you and your affiliate links. Don't get lost if an affiliate merchant is no longer available or if the affiliate website you are promoting has been shut down.
So what if one affiliate program shuts down its door, you have the option and THE tool to easily change the link with another affiliate program-MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate of course.
Ninja Affiliate has got an ability to set an Expiration date on your affiliate/destination links.
With this feature, you can set your link to Automatically DISABLE or REDIRECT to an "Alternate Affiliate/Destination Link" after certain number of days.
Ninja Affiliate supports majority of Multi-Language. This means if you blog on your native language (like russian, spanish, french etc.), you can automatically convert your native language keywords into links as well.
When any software converts blog keywords into affiliate links, the load on your server is increased which results in your blog slowing down.
MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate has got a smart caching feature that doesn't slow down your blog.
I haven't seen any other plugin even consider this factor – they just leave the blogger clueless as to why their blog is slowing down to a snail's pace.
But we're not going to do that to you, which is why we have spent a huge chunk of our time tweaking the caching mechanism in our Maxblogpress Ninja Affiliate plugin, so that once the keyword replacement is calculated it won't re-calculate again until your blog post changes or the caching period expires, leaving your blog running like a top.
SMART Caching = NO Slow Down
Your blog continues to run like a well oiled machine
MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate won't simply pick the FIRST 3 keywords to turn into links, like you see here.
Instead, it will pick them randomly throughout the page so you don't end up with all your links clustered at the top. Again, it's all about keeping your blog looking professional while enticing them to discover what's on the other side of that link.
With RSS your content gets spread all over the Internet, which is good for you. And because you're using MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate, the links within your posts travel right along with your RSS feed. So no matter where your blog posts end up, the links are still there and still earning you money.
Content Thieves = More Money!
A true affiliate marketer knows the value of a life-changing tool when he sees one! Here's what other smart marketers have to say after trying Ninja Affiliate:
I'm totally impressed with Ninja Affiliate ever since I installed it on my WordPress blog!
Gobala Krishnan
With MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate, it is as easy as uploading, activating, and entering your affiliate links. The plugin manages all the rest!
Kyle Eslick
Hi Pawan -
I just wanted to say your MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate is doing a great job on my site. I can't believe how easy it is to use and what a time saver.
You can add or edit links and keywords fast. You can see all your links and with one click you have access to all the details to any link.
I actually like trying different keywords to move the active links to different areas in my post without rewriting the article. Oh, being able to set the number times a keyword is an active link per post and the number of links per post makes a post look really nice.
I love the features you included in this plugin.
John Collins
Perfect timing! I was just getting quotes to have a plugin just like this created for me and the quotes were from $500 to $1,500 dollars and I would have to pay for any upgrades or modifications or even support for the plugin.
Randy The Hermit
MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate is an awesome Wordpress link plugin that works
flawlessly and that has saved me a lot of time in creating affiliate links
for my blog. By automatically linking keywords in my posts to affiliate
offers, I have already seen an increase in my commissions. This is simply
the best plugin of its kind with a ton of features not found anywhere else.
MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate is a plugin every Internet Marketer must have.
John Delavera
There are a number of similar plugins out there, but the MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate plugin is by far the best. It offers many more features and added
functionality than the others and is well supported. For someone like me who often uses a lot of affiliate and referral links in their posts, the
MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate plugin is a much needed time saver.
Tyler Cruz
One of the best wordpress plugins available and well worth the money. The
ability to cloak links and add affiliate url's to keywords will surely help
bloggers increase their monthly income. The keyword replacement tool also
make it incredibly easy to link to other websites and blogs you own, a great
feature if you want to pass some pagerank juice and traffic to other sites
in your portfolio. Recommended.
Kevin Muldoon
There are very few plugins I would be willing to pay for, but Affiliate Ninja is one of them. The affiliate link management features that come with it are outstanding. Highly recommended for anyone trying to make money with a blog.
Daniel scocco
Pawan, this thing is insane! I hate having to create directories and redirects every single time I get a new affiliate link and this totally saves me so much time.
Jay Deiboldt
Hi Pawan,
Jeffrey Levesque
MaxBlogPress Ninja affiliate plugin is the best plugin that I have seen of
its kind. I was in desperate need of a plugin like this because the one I
was using before didn't work with the latest wordpress version. I have
noticed that once I have installed this plugin, my revenue / day on
affiliate links have gone up. I think this is due to the keyword feature
that this plugin offers. Anyone who is looking to embed affiliate links in
their blogs, Ninja Affiliate Plugin is a must for them.
Syed Balkhi
MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate is an excellent plugin! I hassled with several other link cloakers and they were so much trouble to use that I gave up. Your plugin is a total no-brainer to set up and use. Thank you!
