Russian Tea Room VP Seeks City Council Seat
Restaurateurs support one of their own in the upcoming City Council seat election.
A man named Ken Biberaj, who joined operations at the Russian Tea Room in 2006, is currently running for the City Council seat held currently by Gale Brewer, the Upper West Side councilwoman who has reached term limits. According to his website, Biberaj's family moved from Albania to New York in 1968, and in addition to his serving as vice-president at the famed midtown restaurant, Biberaj is involved with numerous nonprofits. He's already completed his fund-raising for the campaign, and counts restaurateurs Marc Murphy of Landmarc, Tracy Nieporent of Myriad Restaurant Group, and B.R. Guest's Stephen Hanson as backers. "There has never been an Albanian elected to City Council," Biberaj tells Crain's. Between that, and the industry support, we'd imagine there's going to be some pretty good food at the party should Biberaj win next fall. [Crain's]

Airport posts strong first half, but passenger numbers slump in summer
Published: Wednesday, August 8, 2012 at 5:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 8, 2012 at 5:31 p.m.
It's been a mostly up year for the Wilmington International Airport so far. Now the question is if the airport can maintain its strong passenger numbers for the rest of 2012.
ILM passenger numbers through June:
2012 - 395,741
2011- 375,430
2010 - 374,912
2009 - 388,113
2008 - 406,091
Source: Wilmington International Airport
After a mostly strong first half of the year, passenger numbers are starting to slip.
The loss of service to Chicago on American Airlines in April cost the airport flights, as did Delta replacing US Airways' three daily flights to New York-LaGuardia in early July with only two flights.
That contributed to the airport seeing fewer passengers in June than a year earlier – a trend that looks like it continued into July.
Airport Director Jon Rosborough said preliminary figures show July's numbers to be down roughly 6 percent compared to July 2011 levels.
"We did lose American, and that was 88 seats a day, which is a lot when you're a small airport," he said.
The Fourth of July falling in the middle of a week, with many people taking advantage of the situation by having an extended vacation, also probably helped keep airplanes emptier than usual, he added.
But overall, Rosborough said he's still feeling optimistic about 2012, especially considering the turbulence surrounding the airline industry.
That includes the move by many carriers to ground fuel-guzzling regional jets, which largely serve smaller airports like ILM, and the still-struggling economy that's keeping some business fliers on the ground.
About three-quarters of Wilmington's passengers are business travelers.
And although it's early, Rosborough said passenger numbers for August are running 2 percent higher than August 2011's levels.
"We're up 5.4 percent for the year for January through June (over 2011), so we're hoping we can continue that kind of trend for the rest of the year," he said.
On the ground, things also are looking up for the airport.
Wilmington's new VA outpatient clinic, which is being built in the airport's business park, is on schedule to open in January.
"We are hoping that will be our anchor store," Rosborough said, adding that the airport hopes to attract other medical-related tenants who want to be near the clinic.
Nearly $5 million in federal funding for a taxiway rehabilitation and 750-foot extension of the runway near Blue Clay Road and North Kerr Avenue also remains on track, as does the airport's plan to build a consolidated rental-car center across from the 84 Lumber yard on Hall Drive.

Artvin Nestled In The Clouds
We start our Artvin tour from Hopa. This town on Turkey's eastern Black Sea shore is only 18 kilometers from the Georgian border. If you stay overnight in Artvin you can take a day tour to Batum, a city in the Acara region of Georgia.
Hopa's nextdoor neighbor Arhavi is known for its cultural richness. Falconry is another favorite pastime in this town famous for its master woodcarvers. The hunters of Arhavi, who take to the mountains at the end of August when the tea harvest is over, keep falcons which they catch in special nets and then feed and train.
Leaving from Hopa on the shore, we reach Artvin after a journey of close to two hours through the winding valleys of the Kaçkar Mountains. Rising atop a steep crag, the thousand-year-old Livane (Artvin) Castle is the first thing to greet us in this city situated in the bowl of a deep valley. The city center of Artvin, which at first glance looks like a small, provincial town, consists of concrete buildings spread out along two parallel avenues. One of them, inönü Avenue, is the liveliest part of the city, which is abustle into the late hours of the night.
Statues of bulls stand out on the small square at one end of this avenue lined with shops. A few hours' stroll will suffice for seeing Artvin city center. But listening to local Turkish folk songs at one of the touristic facilities in the form of a mountain house on the green hills overlooking the town is a special pleasure. The town's modest market is also surprisingly rich. Apart from shops selling handmade bull figurines and other examples of wood carving, there are also delicatessens offering the famous local chestnuts and wild flower honey, village cheeses, pressed sheets of dried mulberry pulp (pestil), gum mastic, country salad herbs, and 'butko' olives, which are grown only in certain parts of the Çoruh river valley.
Judging by the metal weapons of war found in and around Artvin, the city's history goes back to 4000 B.C. Most of the majestic castles and monasteries scattered through this mountainous terrain date to the 9th and 10th centuries. The city, which came under the rule of the Kingdom of Pontus in the Middle Ages, was added to the Ottoman territories by Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror. Ruled by the Ottomans for around 300 years, it then passed to Czarist Russia at the end of the Russo-Turkish War in 1878. The fate of this city, which, together with Batum, changed hands between the Russians and the Ottomans several times in the post-war years, was bound to a public referendum under the Treaty of Sevres.
Following the referendum Artvin became part of Turkey and Batum part of Russia. An Ottoman border town for centuries, Artvin was made a province in 1924 by a ruling of parliament, and today's city center was built for the purpose of bringing order to this city where settlement had been scattered and diffuse due to the uneven terrain. Starting with the Palace of Justice, the oldest structures at the city center today are those built in the 1930's. Artvin, which has lived amicably with diverse cultures for centuries, is acknowledged to be a model city with a low crime rate.
Transformed into a city of festivals every summer, Artvin is famous for its bull wrestling in the Kafkasör Highlands just 10 kilometers from the city center. Spread over a broad area covered in pine, fir and spruce trees, this highland boasts high-adrenalin mountain roads running alongside precipitous slopes and rugged cliffs covered in virgin forest with rare trails for off-road enthusiasts. Immediately next to the highland, Hatila Valley is home to the largest national park in Artvin province. Following the Berta River, a tributary of the Çoruh, we climb the 3,400 meter Karçal Mountains all the way to ?avşat to the east of Ardanuç and Yusufeli to the west. Proceeding left from the Ardanuç exit, the road to the village of Pırnallı brings us to the Porta Monastery, a 10th century Armenian church. The route through Köprüyaka, Ciritdüzü and Veliköy is spectacular with its lovely 100-150 year-old village houses of two or three stories, built of chestnut logs, surrounded by balconies on all sides and adorned with elaborately carved eaves and cornices.
The apse of the monumental church in the village of Cevizli is still standing. The section of the road after Veliköy is an unadulterated green paradise: deep valleys and vast steppes covered in pine, fir and chestnut trees, mountain villages that have never seen concrete, unspoiled rural life reminiscent of the Swiss Alps. The foothills of the Karçal Mountains further to the north are covered with semi-tropical rain forests and natural aged groves, acknowledged to be a world heritage protected site. Georgian is widely spoken in the villages. Two of the three national parks in Artvin lie secluded in the high-altitude valleys of ?avşat. Besides being a rare ecosystem with their endemic plant and tree species, wild life and mountain lakes, the Sahara and Karagöl National Parks also boast several days' worth of hiking trails. The 'Black Lake' for which Karagöl National Park is named is reminiscent of Lake Abant before it was opened up to tourism.
Characterized as among the masterpieces of Artvin's rustic architecture, the 9th century Georgian churches are possessed of a rare style that has even influenced the classical European architectural tradition. Dörtkilise (literally, Four Churches), which is reached via a stabilized road of 12 kilometers from the village of Tekkale seven meters from Yusufeli, is an elegant, almost cathedral-size building secluded among fruit trees. This structure, which, with the small church adjacent to it and the madrasa buildings, forms a religious complex, dates to the 10th century. The 12-kilometer-long road that starts from a mysterious medieval castle rising on a steep hill at the entrance to the village of Tekkale and runs to Dörtkilise through a verdant green valley with a river running through it makes a fabulous hiking trail.
At Barhal, a forest village 36 kilometers from Yusufeli, is another church, built at the same time as the Dörtkilise and in a similar architectural style. A 10-kilometer-long steep slope going off to the right at the 23rd kilometer on the Yusufeli-Olur road leads to the village where the işhan Church is located. Hundreds of meters deep and covered in arid, dusty, desert-like soil with rock formations as far as the eye can see, Olur Valley gives way to a green oasis surrounded by fruit trees at the village of işhan. The thousand-year-old işhan Church is equally astonishing. The pointed oval dome of this church, one of the finest examples of Georgian stone workmanship, is exactly 32 meters high, and a portion of its wall and ceiling frescoes are completely intact. Before nightfall we return to Artvin, whose people liken their city to the Phoenix described in legends of the Caucasus. And they are right. One of Turkey's most remote places, Artvin, like Hakkari, is distant and rugged but very attractive. And perhaps its allure lies precisely in its inaccessibility...
Turkish Airlines has daily Istanbul-Trabzon and Istanbul-Batum flights in both directions. Flights between Batum and Hopa are regarded as domestic flights and require no passport, only a national identity card.
Although Artvin does not offer many alternatives in the way of starred hotels, accommodations are clean and comfortable. Besides the three-star hotels at the city center, you may also choose boutique mountain bed&breakfasts.
The restaurants in the city serve up a veritable feast: Beet and 'lor' cheese soup, stuffed kohlrabi, 'mıhlama' (Black Sea fondue made of butter, cheese and corn flour in a copper pan), 'kuymuk' with clotted cream, honey lokoum, savory 'Laz' pastries, pickled green beans…

WARREN COUNTY, Ky. (WBKO) -- Saturday morning summer sports were used as an opportunity to help out the community.
Hospice of Southern Kentucky held Race on the River for the first time.
Canoes, kayaks and inner tubes raced down the river hoping to be the first at the finish line at Phil Moore Park.
The event included a festival with food, music and inflatables for those who decided the water wasn't for them.
"We are a non-profit organization providing hospice care to those that may not even have the means of payment. We do events, fundraisers like this, to help us, support us, in covering those costs for the patients. We don't want to turn anybody away that needs hospice care," said Jennifer Brashear, the marketing director for Hospice of Southern Kentucky.
Brashear said the event was presented by Nat's Outdoor Sports along with several other sponsors, and she hopes it will become as big of a success as Hospice's annual chocolate festival.

Dollar Moving on Fed Discount Dance
From our colleagues at Dow Jones Market Talk:
Fed's move on its discount window is damaging to risk currencies, so EUR and AUD likely have a sharp bout of pain ahead, says Westpac Strategist Robert Rennie. Recommends staying long USD DXY. "I would fully expect to see further losses in risk currencies." Says Fed is another example of central banks removing liquidity. "PBOC started it, the Fed has started it, other central banks will go through that process. This is damaging for risk currencies." For EUR/USD, pegs support at 1.3500, then 1.3200, last 1.3531. AUD/USD support at 0.8920, then 0.8750, last 0.8943.
Move by Fed to hike discount window is a definite positive for USD, with more gains likely at expense of EUR and AUD, says CBA Strategist Joseph Capurso. "It's a good sign. The U.S. economy is strengthening." Expects EUR/USD to retreat further, pair last 1.3532 from around 1.3621 before Fed.
A sell-off in Australian bonds will be immediate reaction after Federal Reserve upped its discount rate, says Tony Morriss, senior IR strategist with ANZ. "It's having quite a big impact on Treasurys and will really put bonds on the defensive here. Expect a flatter yield curve at the end of today," says Morriss. 3-year price recently down 6 ticks at 95.02, with Morris expecting 3-year to push below support of 94.98 in morning trade.
USD gained strongly vs EUR and JPY in a rare late-afternoon surge after the Fed raised its discount rate by 25 bps to 0.75 as part of the Fed's steps away from its emergency-lending program. EUR/USD at 1.3565 from 1.3607 late Wed. USD/JPY at 91.70 from 91.20 late Wed. The Fed announcement pushed the greenback into a clear gain from little changed on the
day. The ICE Dollar Index was at 80.720 from 80.435.
AUD/USD could fall still further on back of U.S. Fed's move to hike discount rate, says Deutsche Bank Strategist John Horner. "It's pretty clear this is not an indication of what they plan to do with broader monetary policy but for the moment the market is seeing it as some step towards
that and so the move down in the Aussie makes sense and has a bit further to go." Pair last 0.8982 from 0.9022 before Fed.

The importance of cross-browser compatibility in website development
Browser usage trends and statistics
According to W3C statistics for web browser usage trends, Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox, Chrome and Safari cover up to 97% of Internet users. IE is the most preferred (close to 45%), followed by Firefox which is used by 29% of the total web visitors. Also, there seems to be large variations regarding which version of a particular browser users are choosing. For example, Internet Explorer IE8 is the most popular version of Internet Explorer, but IE9, IE7, and IE6, all hold a considerable percentage. The diagram below provides the graphical representation of the popularity statistics of different versions of various browsers.
Hence, I would rather recommend that instead of trying to make the website compatible for each and every browser, browser version, OS etc., one should focus on what covers most of the market share. As the statistics indicate, in order to make the website cross-browser compatible, you should largely focus on the above mentioned four browsers. In addition, you can focus on only the most popular versions. This will provide a manageable pool of browsers to concentrate on, while still satisfying at least 97% of the users.
After you have finalized which browsers you will include in your focus, the next step is to start designing the actual HTML pages. Now, since IE covers up most of the market share you might think of picking up the most popular version of IE and jump right into designing HTML pages. But wait a minute - have you done proper research on how different browsers interpret HTML code? For instance, which browsers strictly adhere to correct syntax and which are not that strict?
Different browsers have different ways of interpreting HTML codes, and IE is very forgiving of incorrect HTML codes. Even if you have not closed a tag properly or the sequence of closing tag is improper, your site would still show up as expected in IE. But not every browser does so.
My personal recommendation would be not to choose IE as your primary browser for development. Go with the second most popular option, instead. Firefox comes with many user friendly plug-ins which can help you debug your HTML code and rectify any inconsistencies. IE developer plug-ins are also available, but it is very difficult to test and debug your code in IE as compared to Firefox.

The Botsford Cancer Center is filled with live instrumental music thanks to 14-year-old musician volunteer Jonah Lyon.
Jonah, a freshman at Catholic Central High School in Novi, needed to fill 10 community service hours as a school requirement and decided to spend some of that time entertaining patients at the Cancer Center. He played holiday music and contemporary songs on his guitar and on a piano in the Cancer Center lobby. The piano was recently donated to Botsford and Jonah was the first volunteer to grace its keys.
Jonah's mom, Dawn, said he's been playing piano for seven years and guitar for two.
Jonah's service comes under a new volunteer program at Botsford called "Music from the Heart." Created from the idea that music can be good for your health, the program recruits musicians to share their talents with patients and visitors at Botsford Hospital or Botsford Cancer Center. Jonah found the opportunity on our volunteer website and decided it was right for him. We agree — it was a great way to share his talents and even get some practice. Patients and employees alike loved it!
Cynthia Bonkowski, Botsford's volunteer services manager, said having Jonah and other musician volunteers here is about engaging patients. And that's exactly what happened. People stopped to chat with him about his guitar and smiled as they passed by. His notes filled the empty air and landed as smiles onto the faces of patients and visitors—and for that we are thankful.
If you have a gift for music, we'd love to hear from you! Pianists, guitarists or any other
musicians can volunteer a little bit of time playing for our patients, brightening their day and maybe even helping to improve their health.
To learn more about our Music from the Heart program or to volunteer, please call (248) 471-8082. You may also learn more about volunteering at Botsford.

There is something to be said for self awareness. Realizing one's own room for improvement is key to success. Refusing to evolve will never result in anything less than extinction. The Cigar Mistresses are aware of this, and have seen the error of their ways. It is always attractive -albeit incredibly rare- when a woman can admit when they are wrong. This charming, yet sultry group of women have decided to change their approach. Naughty, yet nice with an enormous emphasis on nice. The ladies have attended their own brand of "reform school" and will henceforth be known as the Cigar Angels.
Understanding that "mistress" is a term that brings with it the negative connotation of infidelity, seduction and - let's face it- lust, the Angels have decided to seek the approval of the public with a change in approach. They never set out to draw negative attention to themselves, but more so thought "mistress" to be a fun, tongue-in-cheek term to appeal to the alpha-male in the majority of cigar enthusiasts. They missed the target slightly. Now, they know that most of the alpha-males enjoying the name and the product they produce, had an alpha-female counterpart. One doesn't need a masters in psychology to realize an email from an "@cigarmisstress.com" address would stir up feelings of aggression in wives, girlfriends and mothers everywhere.
It should be made clear that nothing has changed with this team of beautiful women when it comes to cigars and the atmosphere they provide. Nothing is more fitting at a cigar event, golf tournament or local fundraiser, than a beautiful woman, dressed in a classy ensemble promoting the affair. That is marketing 101. In that regard, the Angels have maintained the ideals they have always valued. They would be more than happy to class up your next event and look forward to the potential organizations that will be more open to this type of group.
Furthermore, the Angels have taken it upon themselves to up their game. Head angels, Ruth and Jen took a 9 day trip with Broadway Cigar to Santiago, DR where they were able to tour the La Aurora Factory. During their time in this oasis of smoke, the ladies were given lessons in flavor profiles, traditional etiquette and - most importantly, the art of rolling a fine cigar. These two ladies spent 4 whole days on the actual rolling floor of one of the biggest cigar manufacturers in the Dominican Republic. This kind of knowledge and enthusiasm cannot be synthesized. If you are looking for an authentic, knowledgeable cigar experience at your next event, you'd be foolish to not want, crave and demand the Angels pay a visit.
To get in touch with the Cigar Angels make sure to pay a visit to their new home on the web: www.cigarangels.net.

This indispensable guide to the Affordable Care Act, our new national health care law, lends an insider's deep understanding of policy to a lively and absorbing account of the extraordinary--and extraordinarily ambitious--legislative effort to reform the nation's health care system. Dr. John E. McDonough, DPH, a health policy expert who served as an advisor to the late Senator Edward Kennedy, provides a vivid picture of the intense effort required to bring this legislation into law. McDonough clearly explains the ACA's inner workings, revealing the rich landscape of the issues, policies, and controversies embedded in the law yet unknown to most Americans. In his account of these historic events, McDonough takes us through the process from the 2008 presidential campaign to the moment in 2010 when President Obama signed the bill into law. At a time when the nation is taking a second look at the ACA, Inside National Health Reformprovides the essential information for Americans to make informed judgments about this landmark law.

Motocross champion, freestyle pioneer, rally car maverick, adrenaline-junkie - it seems you would need 199 lives to accomplish all that Travis Pastrana has done by the age of 28 and live to tell about it. He has never failed to drop jaws, from his historic, first-ever double motorcycle double backflip that ranks as one of the top moments in X Games history to the sensational video of him jumping out of a plane without a parachute and countless hijinks in between.
This is a man with a backyard so crazy that he requires a waiver just to step foot in it. He never fails to amaze, and is sharing his one-of-a-kind lifestyle with millions on his TV series "Nitro Circus". This success has led Travis and his crew to take his show worldwide in the form of Nitro Circus Live.

Try doing lots of different things such as circles, loops, figures of eight, but randomly do them, to get her attention. And to keep her thinking whats going to happen next. just try doing them in walk and trot first and once she starts to listen, try in canter. i used to do this before anything i did to make sure the horse was listening. this is what i did with one of the horses at a local branch of Riding for the disabled and with my mums friends horse. and it worked with them :) good luck xx

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
Interviewed by Marilyn L. Geary, May 19, 2004
Eric Lloyd Wright is Principal Architect of the firm Eric Lloyd Wright and Associates and is one of the founders of Wright Way Organic Resource Center in Malibu, California. During Eric's early years in architecture, he was an apprentice to his grandfather, Frank Lloyd Wright and his father, Lloyd Wright. His portfolio includes the restoration and renovation of Frank Lloyd Wright and Lloyd Wright works as well as residences and institutional buildings of his own design.
Eric's current focus is on the evolution of Organic Architecture and Green Building design. His design philosophy is rooted in the integration of ecology, social responsibility and beauty. Through Eric's years of design experience, he has developed an understanding that it is not the physical walls and roof, but the space within a building that forms its character - its soul. He gives careful thought to a project's physical, social and spiritual environment, with a focus on appropriate materials, quality, craftsmanship, and careful detailing.
In the following excerpts, Eric Wright discusses Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural philosophy, the influence of Froebel blocks, and the Marin County Civic Center.
Note: Due to the fact that this interview was conducted over the phone and was interrupted by static, only the response to the last question takes the form of an audio excerpt. The remaining excerpts are transcriptions of Eric Lloyd Wright's responses.
Question 1: We understand that Frank Lloyd Wright's mother taught him to play with Froebel blocks when he was young; how did that help him better understand the concept of structure?
"That was one of the great things of the Froebel system; to have you, as a child, look at the structure of all the plans, and buildings and things. And that's what you were doing with the blocks: you were setting up abstractions; and the abstractions would get to the base of that structure."
Question 2: How does the Marin County Civic Center embody Mr. Wright's concept of organic architecture?
"I think he was using the nature of concrete very beautifully in the curved forms. Concrete is a wonderful, plastic material, and you can mold it and shape it. And I think that that's one of the beauties of the Marin County Civic Center: the use of the concrete. I think another very interesting thing he did was to open up the whole center of the building with this continuous skylight, to let light in, all the way down, through all of the floors, and to have the bottom, the main floor garden, grow up through it. He was bringing the outside elements inside the building."

Athletics. Olympic champion Sally Pearson says she's back training without pain following a hamstring injury. The 100-metre hurdles gold medallist missed this summer's track season because of a torn hamstring but began hurdling again this week. ''Everything's looking up,'' she said. ''I started hurdling on Monday, which is probably almost eight months since I competed at the Olympics.''
Tennis. Pat Rafter says Bernard Tomic still has to prove his commitment to the Davis Cup but believes he can take a giant leap towards doing so under trying conditions against Uzbekistan. Tomic returns for Australia after ending his feud with Rafter and shapes as the key component in the must-win Asia/Oceania second-round tie starting in Namangan on Friday. The Australian team will attempt to earn a shot at returning to the top 16 for the first time since 2007.
Swimming. Austin: Lance Armstrong is looking to make a splash with a return to competitive sport. The disgraced cyclist has signed up to swim three events this weekend at the Masters South Central Zone Swimming Championships at the University of Texas. His spokesman, Mark Higgins, said Armstrong, 41, would compete in the 40-44 age group in the 500-yard (457 metres), 1000-yard (914 metres) and the 1650-yard (1509 metres) freestyle.

Sophomore cornerback padded his NCAA lead in interceptions and scored his second touchdown of the season with a 69-yard pick-six on Saturday at FAU.
Nov. 2, 2013
Final Stats | Quotes | Notes | Post Game Video
Tulane/FAU Game Book In PDF Format
BOCA RATON, Fla. - Sophomore cornerback Lorenzo Doss had a pair of turnovers with a fumble recovery and an interception he returned 69 yards for a touchdown, but it was not enough as the Tulane University football team dropped a 34-17 decision to Conference USA newcomer Florida Atlantic on Saturday evening at FAU Stadium.
Four consecutive second-half interceptions spelled doom for the Green Wave as the Owls turned the miscues into 17 points while Tulane failed to score after intermission. The loss was the Green Wave's first since falling 52-17 at Syracuse back on Sept. 21 at the Carrier Dome, snapping a four-game winning streak and dropping Tulane's record to 6-3 on the year and 4-1 in league play. FAU, meanwhile, halted a two-game skid to improve to 3-6 overall and 2-4 in C-USA action.
"This was a tough game," second-year Tulane head coach Curtis Johnson said. "Usually we're the team that turns everybody over and all of the sudden we get in the game where we couldn't get anything right. We kept turning the ball over. It was inexcusable. There was no one person at fault. We just turned it over at the wrong time at the wrong places. I need to go back and watch the tape and see what happened, and we'll make adjustments for next week."
Doss put Tulane on the board early, picking off a Jaquez Johnson pass on the Owls' initial drive and dashing up the right sideline for his second-pick six of the season. It was his sixth interception of the year and the 11th of his career, numbers that rank tied for sixth in both Tulane single-season and career history.
FAU answered with a nine-play, 63-yard drive which Johnson capped with a one-yard touchdown plunge to tie the game, but Doss put Tulane back in action two drives later when he scooped up fumble forced by sophomore defensive back Jordan Batiste and returned it 31 yards to the Owls' 25-yard line. The Green Wave offense marched down to the five before stalling, and senior kicker Cairo Santos split the uprights from 22 yards out to give Tulane a 10-7 lead 1:24 into the second quarter.
Neither team could get much going over the next five possessions, but Tulane put together a late drive and senior tailback Orleans Darkwa capped the six-play, 35-yard march with a four-yard touchdown run to stake the Wave to a 17-7 halftime lead.
The Owls came out on fire in the second half, taking the opening kick of the third quarter and marching 66 yards on 11 plays to set up a 26-yard Mitch Anderson field goal to cut the deficit to a single score. The first of Tulane's four interceptions came on the ensuing drive when D'Joun Smith picked off a Nick Montana pass, but the defense held FAU to a three-and-out to keep it a 17-10 ballgame.
The Green Wave would not be as fortunate the next three turnovers as Smith snared a Devin Powell offering on the next play from scrimmage to set up a 30-yard scoring strike from Daniel McKinney to William Dukes on a double-pass play to tie things up at 17-all with 3:24 to play in the third quarter.
Another Montana interception, this time by Christian Milstead, led to a 20-yard Anderson field goal to give FAU a 20-17 lead early in the fourth, and Smith's third pick of the game set up a 24-yard touchdown run by Damion Fortner to all but put the game away.
Tulane held the Owls to a three-and-out on their next possession, but FAU quieted any talks of a Green Wave comeback when Johnson broke free for a 49-yard scoring sprint with 4:46 left to play to account for the final score.
Sophomore free safety Darion Monroe led Tulane's defensive effort with a career-high tying 13 tackles (5 solo, 8 assists) while senior linebacker Zach Davis had a season-best 12 stops (2 solo, 10 assists) and junior strong safety Sam Scofield added 10 tackles (2 solo, 8 assists). Batiste logged his first multiple-sack performance of his career with 2.0 sacks among a career-best 2.5 tackles for loss to go with a pair of forced fumbles and a pass break-up.
Johnson led FAU with 221 all-purpose yards, running 20 times for 114 yards and two touchdowns while completing 10-of-21 passes for 107 yards. Dukes led the aerial assault with three receptions for 68 yards and a score, while Andrae Kirk paced the Owls' defense with 11 tackles (2 solo, 9 assists). Smith's three interceptions were the most by a Tulane opponent since Clinton Burrell of LSU had three on Nov. 22, 1975.
Tulane returns to action on Saturday, Nov. 9, when they travel to San Antonio, Texas, to face C-USA newcomer UTSA before closing out the home portion of the 2013 regular season on Nov. 23 against UTEP in the Superdome. For tickets to that game, as well as future Green Wave events, contact the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. The Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the Wilson Center on Ben Weiner Drive, and tickets can be purchased in person weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., over the phone at 504-861-WAVE (9283) or via the Internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.

Maddie Lozano
Oct. 28, 2012
DALLAS (SMU) - Maddie Lozano led the Mustangs with a career-high 15 kills and 12 of SMU's season-high 19 blocks, which ranks tied for third all-time in a match at SMU, in a 3-2 comeback win over Memphis Sunday in Moody Coliseum (18-25, 25-18, 25-27, 25-21, 15-11).
After the Tigers (9-18, 4-8 Conference USA) edged out the Mustangs (9-15, 6-6 C-USA) with a 27-25 win in the third set to take a 2-1 lead in the match, Lozano posted four kills and three blocks, and freshman Cailin Bula scored a set-high five kills, as the Mustangs won the fourth set 25-21 to force a fifth set. SMU broke a 9-9 tie with a 5-0 run for a 14-9 lead and kept the lead at five before the Tigers fought off two set points before Julianne Scheidler ended the set with her second kill of the season from the back row.
In the fifth, Memphis scored the first three points, but SMU rallied back to tie the set with the next three points. With the match tied 6-6, the Mustangs went on another run, scoring four straight to take a 10-6 lead. The Tigers didn't get within three points the rest of the way. Lozano had three kills in four attempts in the final set, including a blast on match point to give SMU the win.
In the first set, it was the Tigers who got the first big run, breaking a 10-10 tie with a 7-2 run for a 17-12 lead. Memphis eventually took the set 25-18. The Mustangs battled back to take the second set in similar fashion. With the set tied 10-10, SMU scored four of the next five points to take a 14-11 lead. The Mustangs never trailed again, evening the match with the 25-18 win.
The third set was the closest of the match. SMU held the biggest lead, scoring four straight for an 18-14 lead. The Tigers fought back to tie the set 22-22, and erased a pair of SMU set points before converting their only attempt to win 27-25.
Bula finished the match with 11 kills, three blocks and three digs, and Lozano, a junior transfer, hit .407 with 15 kills and four errors in 27 attempts. Caroline Young and freshman Abbey Bybel each had 10 kills. Bybel also had three blocks, six digs and two aces in the match. Olivia Bailey had 48 assists and five blocks; while Courtney Manning had eight kills and five blocks to take her career total to 553, just 37 away from the Conference USA all-time record of 590.
The Mustangs next match is at UTEP in El Paso, Texas Friday at 8 p.m. CT. SMU returns to Moody Coliseum on Friday, Nov. 9 to host Houston at 7 p.m.

June 19, 2012
Editor's Note: The following first appeared in the University of Iowa's Hawk Talk Daily, an e-newsletter that offers a daily look at the Iowa Hawkeyes, delivered free each morning to thousands of fans of the Hawkeyes worldwide.
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Last summer, University of Iowa outside linebacker Christian Kirksey was a youngster trying to get his foot in the door for more playing time.
Now he is a veteran.
Kirksey is a member of an up-and-coming linebacker group that includes fellow juniors James Morris and Anthony Hitchens. As a sophomore, Kirksey led the Hawkeyes with 62 solo tackles in 13 games, and shared the team lead in total tackles with Morris at 110.
"I was still kind of young last year, but now I'm in a bigger role," said Kirksey, a 6-foot-2, 220-pounder from Hazelwood East High School in St. Louis. "It feels good to know that I'm an older guy now, and I had another year to improve."
As a freshman in 2010, Kirksey saw action in 11 games and recorded six assisted tackles. A year ago, he was in on 110 stops, five for a loss, with three pass breakups, a sack, an interception and a fumble recovery.
"Last year was my first year starting at linebacker; I got the feel of it, so going through that year was more mentally getting ready," Kirksey said. "This year I feel I have more experience, and I'm mentally tougher and more experienced."
"Last year was my first year starting at linebacker; I got the feel of it, so going through that year was more mentally getting ready. This year I feel I have more experience, and I'm mentally tougher and more experienced."

"I'm looked at as a leader, so I have to do certain things differently than I did last year," Kirksey said.
The offseason shuffle of Hawkeye defensive coaches sent linebackers coach Darrell Wilson to defensive backs, defensive backs coach Phil Parker to defensive coordinator, and former Hawkeye LeVar Woods from administrative assistant to linebackers coach.
"I'm comfortable with it," Kirksey said of the staff changes. "I'm already used to how Phil Parker coaches -- he's an aggressive coach and I like that a lot."
Kirksey has also bonded with Woods, a veteran of 88 NFL games over eight seasons with Arizona, Detroit and Tennessee.
"(Woods) played in the league for a couple years, and it makes me want to listen to what he has to say," Kirksey said. "He has been to a place that I'm trying to go. He sits me down and tells me what I need to do and he corrects my mistakes. He's an awesome coach."
Kirksey spends his summer participating in voluntary workouts, where he aims to improve his speed and strength.
"It's an important time because we have to get a feel for each other," Kirksey said. "It's a big advantage to get oriented and familiar with what we need to do to prepare for the season."
Part of that orientation process is with incoming freshmen.
"The guys are getting a feel for everything," Kirksey said. "We feel this is going to be a good team. We're coming together and we have a good relationship going on. We're getting to work and it feels pretty good."
The Hawkeyes open the season Saturday, Sept. 1, against Northern Illinois in Chicago's Soldier Field. The game begins at 2:30 p.m. (CT) and will be televised by ESPNU.

Troy Dyck's Bizarre Letter
Christine Lehman
From: "Christine Lehman"
To: "Positive Atheism" <email@example.com>
Subject: Troy Dyck's bizarre letter
Date: Monday, March 26, 2001 7:25 PM
Of all the things Mr. Dyck wrote in his screed on the Ten Commandments, the one that really made steam start blowing smoke out of my ears was about how Jesus' command to his followers to "hate their parents" was okay because he also tells us to "hate ourselves"! Like that's supposed to make it okay?
That brought back all the memories of sleepless nights wondering if I'd committed "the unpardonable sin" that day; if I might commit it later in life; if I'd wind up burning in hell in spite of all my best efforts to "love Jesus and follow his commands"; if I was being too legalistic; why was I such a miserable sinner?; etc., etc. -- all the attitudes which Christianity fosters and encourages!
I do have to thank Mr. Dyck and his ilk for one thing, though -- every once in a while I get a little nostalgic for the good things about religion (you know, like the security of knowing that you'll go to heaven eventually, even if all those other poor sinners around you won't; the comfort of knowing there's an answer to every question, (even though, upon closer examination, they usually turn out to be the wrong answers!), the pleasure of cozying up with a book by Josh McDowell reassuring me that my faith is based on solid evidence (even though it's not!), etc. -- then I read one of those letters and remember all the reasons I left that damnable faith -- and top of the list is the unbearable ARROGANCE!
Christine Lehman :-)

I really like docky for managing my applications but don't want to crowd it too much with pointless apps.
I would like to add an icon to open the Gnome Main Menu (Applications, Place, System etc) to docky if possible?
If this is not possible is there anything that can achieve similar results?
I tried using dockbarx on the panel which works nicely but isn't the best looking.

I don't know of any quadrangulation having similar properties to a Delaunay triangulation, but you can always convert a triangulation to a quadrangulation by adding additional points, called Steiner points. See the first section of http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~cs507/projects/1998/rachelp/ for instance.

"A number of areas, especially in South Walton during peak tourist time will want to raise money," said Walton County Commissioner Sara Comander. "It is very congested and it is not that we don't support local charities, but we have to have some order."
"I think the one thing they are going to do, is one thing limit the amount of applications that are approved and the types of groups that will be doing this fundraising," said Louis Svehla, Public Information Officer for the county. "They are also going to look at the locations of those groups and the type of year."
Some point to the Walton County Fire Department's annual boot drive as an example of the problem.
But Walton County Fire Chief Brian Coley says those men and women have received extensive safety training, as opposed to regular citizens.
"The public that gets out and tries to raise money through a boot drive or on the highway has no idea how dangerous the highway actually is," said Fire Chief Coley.
Officials say they also want to know who's trying to raise money in the county.
"The public was saying you know we have groups that are down on these corners and these streets and they are raising money," said Svehla. "Not only is it unsafe, but they were saying they didn't even represent Walton County."
County officials have not yet come up with a formal ordinance to consider.
They'll hold some workshops and get community input.

Check out the trailer for Rockstar Games' upcoming Grand Theft Auto 5. In it players will be paying a return visit to San Andreas, the fictionalized version of Los Angeles popularized in the GTA game of the same name.
In this latest entry in the GTA franchise players are going to be given the choice of playing one of three characters. Michael is an ex-con who retires from a life of crime until money woes call him back again. Trevor is a war vet with a bad case of PTSD and an unhealthy fixation with watching things burn. Rounding out the trio is Franklin, a repo man who tires of the day-to-day grind and decides to dip his toes into the criminal underworld.
For those who tire of jacking cars, committing crimes and running from cops, there will be plenty of side-missions and mini-games as well. Players will be able to unwind with a friendly game of golf or tennis, explore the deep sea by submarine (or wet suit), go mountain climbing, bike-riding, hunting and plenty of other activities. Boasting a land mass reportedly larger than the maps for GTA 4 and hit western, 'Red Dead Redemption' combined, there's going to be plenty for players to see and do in this latest entry in the venerable series.
While this new trailer doesn't offer much, clocking in at only just over a minute in length, it offers just enough of a glimpse of the new game to get GTA fans super-excited. Check it out, and leave your feedback about the new trailer below.
Grand Theft Auto 5 comes out on Xbox 360 and PS3 on September 17. Expect record numbers of employees to call in sick the following day.

This book, my second one, is crazy. I didn't know what to title it, so I looked up some French words. It's the language of romance, right?
Wrong. Well, at least for me.
Because of this book, she said we could be friends - and then the next day, she changed her mind and said we could never be friends and told me I was mistaken.
Then, she accused me of following her. I did not. She told me she was sorry if she hurt my feelings and then I messed up everything - like I normally do.
I love you. I know you love me, too. I miss you. I know you miss me, too. "Love embraces all differences and denies no one." ♥

Let's go with whales. No, they're not as pretty as those wearing bikinis but there's enough of that to go around anyway. Whales and dinosaurs are where's it at these days. Here's why:
Dinosaurs had their own series of high tech movies, what with Jurassic Park and all. Whales, on the other hand, actually live today. They swim, they breathe, they propagate (another word for "reproduce"; which sounded rather risqué this being a family site), and you can watch them.
Hawaii is the place to watch whales. Particularly the humpback whale. Sometime in November around 1,500 to 2,000 humpbacks begin arriving in Hawaiian waters. They come from all over. San Diego. London. Chicago. Tokyo.
No. Wait. That's tourists.
Whales come from their Arctic feeding grounds. Except, it's really not "grounds", as in you can walk on it. They're ocean going creatures so we're using the term "grounds" to mean an area.
Interestingly, whales come to Hawaii for the same reasons that folks from San Diego, Chicago, Tokyo come to Hawaii. No, not bikinis.
Whales come to Hawaii for rest, recreation, and romance. Now, let's take a moment to erase those visions of whales playing beach volleyball, soaring above the waves to munch on a hapless surfer, or cuddling amid whale grunts and groans.
It's not like that at all.
Whales rest in Hawaii. The feeding is easy and the waters calm and pleasant. It's a perfect breeding ground AND feeding ground.
Hawaii is a great place to see whales because they're visible from every island. No, the whales aren't that big. But they love Hawaii. They leap. They splash. They twist and turn. They have fun. It's better than a disco with Chubby Checker.
Whales in Hawaii get up to about 60 feet long and can weigh over 100,000 pounds. Think of an animal bigger than your house and weighing as much as 50 Honda Accords.
Humpback whales are the largest mammals on earth. They breath air (something most mammals are akin to do) and they nurse their young. We recommend you buy the video tape rather than wait on the dinner ship's deck until they begin to nurse. You won't see it.
Do whales wear bras?
Other facts you didn't know and may not have room to store: whales can sing. They make a very distinct sound that swimmers in the water can hear. It's a hauntingly strange cry or moan. Each winter the whales compose a new song. Everyone in the pod (a whale family) sings the same song. As the season progresses, they modify the song ever so slightly.
99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Enough to keep from getting bored as they swim and frolic through the water while chasing tourist boats and scaring surfers into a change of suits.
Look but don't touch. Humpback whales are the third most endangered species of whale with fewer than 10,000 left in the world.
Want to see a humpback whale up close? Hawaii is the place to be. Just like Canadians, they flock here every winter.

This question already has an answer here:
So I have ubuntu 12.04 on my usb, it loads perfectly and works. When I boot up my laptop (Windows 7) a menu box appears to ask how I want to run ubuntu, the first selection is Default which I use, the next being somewhere along the lines of "Install ubuntu", then a load of other selections
What I ask is, is there a way for Ubuntu to boot up without bringing up the box? Like when I boot up with my normal operating system...
Sorry if I'm confusing ;_;

Warren Buffett wrote a letter

Men's Wearhouse
(NYSE:MW) gained 7.54% after upping its bid for
Jos. A. Bank

the drag queen who concluded trading
. It was
the end of the line for Moviefone
, which Tim Armstrong's
AOL Inc.
(NYSE:AOL) paid $388 million for in 1999. Mr. Armstrong, already in big trouble for his recent "distressed babies" remark, had better watch out. For, as a Penn Station-patrolling New York City cop can freshly attest,
those tiny tots pack a punch
. Moviefone was much beloved of Cosmo Kramer of course, but did
a Dingell really eat my baby
, as his accomplice Elaine claimed? Yesterday Michigan's John Dingell, America's longest-serving Congressman, finally called it quits, having served since 1955. And who'd have thought that the tax code would be more exciting than Kate Upton?
H&R Block
(NYSE:HRB) and the supermodel's
Target Corp
(NYSE:TGT) each received analyst initiations yesterday and I, in my infinite wisdom, erroneously
bet that the retailer would be a sexier story

Third Trimester
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Third trimester induction procedure are performed beginning at 25weeks LMP (5.80 cm BPD). Dilation of the cervix is achieved gently and gradually and appropriate dilation of the cervix must be obtained to reduce risks and complications.
The size of the pregnancy, as determined by the ultrasound done on the first day, and your medical history will be assessed to take the time needed for a safe process. This means you will need to anticipate a longer office visit and a process that will take three or four days.
25 weeks LMP (5.80 BPD)-28 weeks LMP (up to 6.90 BPD)
At 25 weeks to 28 weeks, the abortion process takes three to four days. On the first day, an ultrasound will be done to date the pregnancy and your medical history will be taken. This is followed by counseling and lab work. After meeting with the doctor and signing consents, the process is started by inserting laminaria to gently dilate the cervix. Laminaria is sterile, compressed seaweed that is inserted into the cervical canal. The laminaria rods expand by absorbing natural moisture in the cervix. A second, and possibly third, insertion of laminaria will be used to further dilate the cervix as needed. Once the cervix is ready, medications will be administered which will start labor and result in the delivery of a stillborn. On the first day, an injection of Digoxin will also be administered to stop the fetal heart beat.
28 weeks LMP (6.99 BPD) and above
For women over the 28th menstrual week, BPD 7.0 and greater, we provide services on a case-by-case basis. The process is the same as above. Because each case is unique, we ask that women with fetal or maternal indications call our office for a phone evaluation. We will help if we can.
Please contact the office for a fee quote. The National Abortion Federation (NAF) has access to funds for women in financial need. As a member of NAF, we are able to help you assess if you qualify for funding. We can also help you contact any other appropriate funding agencies.
Postoperative Instructions
- After the abortion you may eat and drink normally. It is best to avoid strenuous activity, avoid lifting over 10 pounds, and avoid spending a lot of time on your feet. Be guided by how you feel.
- Please put NOTHING in the vagina for at least 7 days.
- Do not have intercourse
- Do not use tampons- sanitary pads only
- Do not douche, go swimming, or take a tub bath- showers are fine.
- Take your temperature twice a day for one week. If your temperature is over 100.4 degrees, please call us.
- For 7 days following your abortion, you will be taking Doxycycline (100mg) or another antibiotic. Take as directed and avoid heavy exposure to sunlight, antacids, iron and alcohol
It is important that you make an appointment for a check-up two weeks after your abortion. You can return to our office or you can make arrangements with your own physician.
Every woman bleeds differently. Your bleeding should be like a normal period or lighter. There may be no bleeding at all for 2-3 days. Then it may begin like a normal period for a week. Or you may begin bleeding immediately and this can last 7-10 days. A few women do not bleed at all which is also normal.
Your next normal period should begin in 4 to 8 weeks. If you do not have a period within 8 weeks from the procedure date, please call us. It is possible to get pregnant before your first period begins. Therefore, if you want to avoid another pregnancy now, you should use the means of birth control, which has been advised for you by our counselors and/or your physician. Hormonal birth control methods such as pills, the Depo Provera injection, the Nuva Ring, and the Ortho Evra Patch, may change your cycle. If you have questions please call the office.
Be sure to report if:
- Your bleeding is heavier than the heaviest flow of a normal period.
- You continue bleeding longer than two weeks (although it is normal to spot longer)
- Your temperature is ever 100.4 degrees or more. You have any foul-smelling vaginal discharge.
- You have severe pain, or pain unlike menstrual cramps.
- You soak through a maxi-pad in 1 hour or less
- If you pass clots that are quarter-sized or larger

This was the 6th birthday party for my Son, so we get to do everything, from the cake, the dessert table, favors, centerpieces, decorations, everything. The party took place at a Party place here in monterrey, Mexico, Laberinto.
On the Cake table, we went super handy and made the cake stand from wood, with some help from the home depot crew, we also use some shelves we got on ikea to place the favors, that were angry birds water bottles and sugar cookies, for the backdrop we used a polka dot white and black fabric and a banner
For the dessert table, we use some recycled wood boxes from a construction site along with wood boxes collected from our local farmer´s market to represent the wood structures where the green pigs hide, on the other side we used round bowls on different sizes with decorations made with foam to represent the angry birds, each one filled with colorful treats and snacks, the slingshot was made of paper mache piñata, as well as the piggies hiding between the food.
Angry Birds table:
- White Bird filled with popcorn
- Red Bird filled with chili chips
- Orange Bird filled with cheetos
- Blue Bird filled with Blue marshmallows
- Yellow Bird with regular natural chips
The Pig Table:
- Bowls with: spicy chips, fruit mix with chamoy, sour worms, m&m´s, veggies
- Little nests filled with egg shaped brownie bites
- Tamarind Shots
- We bought some white plastic eggs at Hobby lobby and filled them with spicy dried pineapple
- We made some assorted cupakes in a cup that represented each of the angry birds: Red- Strawberry, Black-Chocolate, Blue-Vanilla, Yellow-Mango, Green-Pigs.
The centerpieces where some angry birds piñatas, placed in a wood box with son egg shells and decorated with balloons.
For the entertainment we made a real size slingshot made with pvc pipes and covered with paper mache, the birds were made of balls with the faces paintes with acrylic paint as well as the piggies, the structures were made of boxes collected from the local costco.
For the favors, we made some bows, and buy plastic bracelets for the girls. For the boys we found some balloon slingshots on our local dollar store, we just change the package to fit the entire party, we also found some angry birds fabric bracelets, and bought angry birds tattoos, pencils and paddle balls at party city.
For the food, this was the only part we do anything, the party place incluided it, so the mom´s meal consisted on a grilled panini with salad, we just made some angry birds toppers to match the party, for the kids they had pizza.

The preschooler and I went to Baltimore this week to visit two of my best friends – Dina and the Soft Shell Crab. I've been thinking of them both ever since.
Last night we had the dinner of my early May to July dreams: sauteed soft shell crabs over an Asian-ish salad.
Soft Shell Crabs over Asian Salad
Serves two very hungry adults and an uninterested preschooler.
For the crabs
6 wild soft shell crabs, cleaned
1 cup whole milk
1 cup unbleached white flour
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons butter
Lemon (for squeezing)
For the salad
4 big handfuls mizuna or other leafy green
1 ripe avocado, diced
A couple of handfuls of cherry tomatoes
1/2 english cucumber, diced
2 Tablespoons capers
And really whatever else you like in your salad. Some toasted sesame seeds would be delightful.
For the dressing
2 Tablespoons Toasted Sesame Oil
2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar (we Copes like us some acid – use less for a more traditional vinaigrette balance)
1+ Tablespoons Soy Sauce, to taste
1 teaspoon Honey
1/4 teaspoon Wasabi Powder
2 dashes Fish Sauce
In a shallow bowl, soak the crabs in the milk for about half an hour. Meanwhile, assemble the salad in a large bowl and whisk together all ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl. Remove the crabs from the milk, shaking off any excess liquid. Season each crab with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute the crabs (in batches if necessary – don't crowd them) for about three minutes per side. Toss the salad with the dressing and divide the salad among serving plates. Top with crabs and a squeeze of lemon.
In the NY-area, freshdirect has a good supply of wild soft shell crabs right now, as well as some delicious mizuna from Satur Farms.

Danny Dorn hit the ground running Monday night.
The 29-year-old made his Reno Aces debut with three hits in the Aces' 11-0 loss at Tacoma on Monday. Dorn, who injured his wrist after getting hit by a pitch in spring training with the Arizona Diamondbacks, played right field in the loss and had three singles.
The 6-foot-2, 205-pound Dorn is now in his ninth season in the minor leagues. He was drafted in 2006 in the 32nd round by the Cincinnati Reds out of Cal State Fullerton. He had a sensational rookie year in the minor leagues, leading the Pioneer League in hitting with Billings (Mont.) with a .354 average.
Dorn was signed as a free agent by the Diamondbacks last winter after hitting 25 home runs and driving in 82 runs with Toledo in the Detroit Tigers system in 2013. Dorn also hit .258 last year with 131 strikeouts.
Dorn was a sophomore on the 2004 Fullerton Titans College World Series champions. He led the Big West Conference the following year in runs scored and walks and also hit 10 homers as a junior. As a senior in 2006 Dorn hit .351 with four homers and 43 RBI.
Dorn's Fullerton teams went to the College World Series three times in four years.
The Aces play three more games at Tacoma and four at Albuquerque before returning to Aces Ballpark on May 27 against Fresno.

Advent calendars: they're traditionally an exercise in disappointment. We spend an entire day waiting for one stale, crappy piece of chocolate. This Whisky Advent Calendar ($240) might just redeem all its tasteless cousins. Instead of a flavorless lump vaguely shaped like a reindeer, each day opens to reveal a nip of sinus-clearing yumminess. One door even hides a taste of a fifty-year-old single malt! Now that's something to look forward to.
