The flurry of NCAA postseason activity on the UCLA campus continues this week, when the men's and women's tennis teams host regional competition. It will mark the third time in four weeks that a NCAA Championship event is held in Westwood ... though it may not be the last this year, since both the baseball and softball teams have a chance of hosting a regional in the coming weeks.
New Premium Options for UCLA Season Ticket Holders at Rose Bowl Stadium
In case you may have missed it, late last week, UCLA unveiled two exciting, new premium options to complement football season ticket packages at the Rose Bowl Stadium.
The first option for purchase is membership in the new Horizon Club, a premium lounge level at the Rose Bowl. This level of the Terry Donahue Pavilion offers an experience never before offered at the Rose Bowl.
This exclusive, 32,000-square-foot area features multiple cash bars, premium concessions, and lounges on the north and south ends of the stadium where fans can catch the game on one of multiple flat-screen TVs.
At the request of many of our fans, UCLA-branded seat cushions are also being offered to all 2013 season ticket holders. Permanently attached to season ticket locations for the entire campaign, these padded seat and back cushions are available at $35 (per seat) prior to August 1, and $40 thereafter.
UCLA will open the 2013 football season on Saturday, August 31 when the Bruins host the University of Nevada Wolf Pack. For more information on either premium option or to purchase season tickets today, please call the Central Ticket Office at 310-UCLA-WIN (825-2946).
Both UCLA Tennis Teams Host NCAA Regional Action at the LATC This Week
After a week off, the UCLA men's and women's tennis teams return to action this weekend when they each host NCAA Regionals at the Los Angeles Tennis Center.
The UCLA men's team, 24-1, and the top seed overall in the field of 64, opens up the NCAA tournament against Summit League Champion UMKC (13-10) this Friday at 1 pm. The other first-round match that day features Drake (24-3) and TCU (18-9) at 10 am. Friday's winners will meet in the second round on Saturday at 3 pm, with the winner of that match advancing to the NCAA Championships, May 16-21, in Champaign, Ill.
The seventh-seeded UCLA women's tennis team (16-5) will also be hosting a four-team NCAA Regional at the Los Angeles Tennis Center this weekend. Play begins on Saturday, with Big West Champion Long Beach State (21-3) taking on Oklahoma State (15-8) at 9 am. The second match that day features UCLA and Patriot League champion Army (22-6) at noon. The two winners will meet on Sunday at noon for the right to advance to the round of 16 in Illinois beginning on May 17.
Tickets for the NCAA Regionals can be purchased upon entrance to the Los Angeles Tennis Center (there are no advanced ticket sales). Prices are $7 for adults and $5 for youth/students.
UCLA Opens Pac-12 Track and Field Championships on a High Note
Riding two top-ten finishes in the heptathlon (2nd -- Tatum Souza/6th --Kimmie Connor) and two in the decathlon (3rd -- Dominic Giovannoni/4th --Marcus Nilsson), the track and field teams opened the Pac-12 Track and Field Championships with a bang.
Each team registered 11 points on the weekend due to their finishes in the combined events, and the men currently lead the standings, with the women in second place.
The remainder of the championships will be contested this coming Saturday and Sunday at USC's Cromwell Field and Katherine B. Loker Stadium. All tickets for the event are general admission and cost $20 per day for adults and $10 per day for children, students and seniors.

Women's Water Polo Squad Heads East for NCAA Tournament Play
The fourth-ranked UCLA women's water polo team (26-6, 3-3 MPSF) has earned its ninth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and will open play this Friday afternoon against No. 6 seed Princeton (26-5, 5-0 CWPA).
Should the Bruins get by Princeton, against whom they are 5-0 all-time, they will meet the winner of No. 2 Stanford/No. 7 Iona on Saturday afternoon in the semifinals.
All NCAA Tournament matches are being played at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass.
East Regional Next Stop for UCLA Women's Golf Team
The sixth-ranked UCLA women's golf team will travel across the country this week - to the state of Alabama -- to compete in the NCAA East Regional at the Auburn University Club.
After 54 holes of competition, the top eight teams from each regional will qualify for the NCAA Championship, May 21-24, hosted by the University of Georgia.
Olympic Sports Report
- Fresh off a second-place finish at the Pac-12 Men's Golf Championships a week ago, falling only to Cal, the nation's top-ranked team, the #3-ranked men's golf team takes a week off from competition before participating in the NCAA Tempe Regional later this month. The Bruins are the No. 1 seed in the Regional.
- The #6-ranked women's rowing team was edged by USC in three of five races at the annual crosstown dual meet in Marina del Rey last Saturday morning. UCLA's three losses came by no more than 2.5 seconds in any race, and the Bruins were able to win the second varsity four and novice eight races by large margins. UCLA returns to action at both the Pacific Coast Rowing Championships and Pac-12 Championships the weekend of May 18-19 in Rancho Cordova, Calif.
- The #6-ranked sand volleyball team concluded its inaugural season at the AVCA Collegiate Sand Championships last weekend in Gulf Shores, Ala. with two pairs teams, Meg Norton and Kelly Reeves and Zoe Nightingale and Becca Strehlow, each competing. Norton and Reeves qualified for the 16-team Championship bracket, and Reeves earned the first-ever All-American honor for a UCLA sand volleyball player.
- The #8-ranked baseball team went 4-0 last week, earning an 8-1 victory over UC Irvine on Tuesday before sweeping Utah in a key Pac-12 series over the weekend. The Bruins are now 31-13 on the year and in third place in the Pac-12, just three-and-one-half games out of first. UCLA will conclude its home regular season schedule this week, hosting Cal State Northridge on Tuesday, before playing a three-game, weekend series against defending national champion, Arizona.
- The #15-ranked softball team won all three of its games last week, beating Loyola Marymount and CSU Bakersfield twice, as Jessica Hall threw the Bruins' third no-hitter of the season in last Saturday's nightcap versus Bakersfield. UCLA closes out the regular season at Oregon State this Thursday through Saturday, and all three games will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks. The NCAA Tournament selection show is on Sunday at 7 pm on ESPNU.
Development Event Calendar: Bruins at the Beach
UCLA Athletics' annual fund, the Wooden Athletic Fund, is proud to announce its inaugural "Bruins at the Beach" fundraiser event on Saturday, June 22. This exclusive event will be held at the beautiful The Strand at Headlands in Dana Point, and will begin with a sunset toast overlooking a breathtaking view of the Orange County coastline.
The event will feature gourmet food, artisan hand-crafted cocktails, and decadent desserts, including a build-your-own-S'mores station.
If gorgeous views, warm ambiance, live music and great food and drink aren't enough to get you to Dana Point for this incredible evening, perhaps our silent auction or our guest list will. UCLA Head Coaches Jim Mora and Steve Alford will be in attendance, as will Bruin legends, including basketball great Bill Walton and former UCLA Football Coach Terry Donahue.
This one-of-a-kind fundraiser is $500 per person and is limited to 100 guests. All proceeds from this event benefit the Wooden Athletic Fund, which directly supports UCLA's 600-plus student-athletes.
Attending the event will not only give you a night full of great memories, but also the knowledge that you are supporting Bruin student-athletes in all areas of their lives; athletically, academically, and in the community.
To RSVP, please call the Wooden Athletic Fund Office, 310-206-3302, or visit woodenathleticfund.com/bruinsatthebeach for more information.
Yesterday was one of those very unique days that reminds those of us in the athletic department how truly special it is to be part of the Bruin family.
My morning started with a drive south to Orange County for 2013 UCLA Golf Classic at Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club.
My main objective was not to win the closest to the pin contest or break par (by the way, neither of which would have happened had I tried), but to spend time with athletic department staff members and volunteers who helped put on the event and to thank the many UCLA donors and friends who attended and participated for their support of our great University. The overcast morning did not dampen their spirits as a great time was had by all. It was also terrific to see many UCLA "legends" in attendance and enjoying the camaraderie while helping the cause.
Despite some early morning showers, it ended being a great day for golf, as more than 200 players hit the links. The weather only provided the icing on the cake for what was a great event supported by the true investors in our program.
I was not able to stay for the dinner at the end of tournament though as I had to be back on campus in time for our annual UCLA Scholar-Athlete Banquet dinner that evening. This banquet serves to recognize and honor those student-athletes who "get it done" in a big way in the rigorous UCLA academic environment.
As we celebrated the academic achievements of our many student-athletes, it only seemed fitting that the UCLA Golf Classic was the same day as those same donors have supported our young men and women in the classroom.
We feted more than 200 student-athletes for their achievements in the classroom. I must recognize the tireless efforts of our academic support staff which provides our student-athletes with the resources and tools to excel.
There were many awards handed out during the evening, including to student-athletes who have overcome seemingly insurmountable odds to succeed at this level both academically and athletically.
Especially of note was the announcement of our two scholar-athletes of the year, baseball's Ryan Deeter and track and field's Liz Goodrich, as the graduating male and female senior with the highest cumulative GPA.
Another highlight of the evening was hearing our featured speaker, UCLA alum and tennis great Larry Nagler. His words were insightful and served as a blueprint for personal success after the athletic career comes to an end for our student-athletes.
It was a perfect ending to a great day.
Go Bruins!
Dan Guerrero
UCLA Athletic Director

Tulane's Cairo Santos won the 2012 Groza with the first 21-for-21 field goal season in FBS history.
July 10, 2013
New Orleans - Tulane senior kicker Cairo Santos has not only been named to the 2013 Lou Groza Preseason Watch List but the reigning Groza Award winner will look to become just the second repeat winner in Groza history, as the 30-player Watch List was announced by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission.
Santos won the 2012 Groza with the first 21-for-21 field goal season in FBS history and was named a consensus All-American after leading the team in points scored (89) and hitting 26-of-27 on PATs.
He was 12-for-12 from 40-plus yards, including 2-for-2 from 50-plus yards. He connected on a then-school record 54 yarder vs. ULM on Sept. 29 before eclipsing that with a 57-yard boot vs. Rice on Nov. 3. Santos claimed first-team All-America honors from the Associated Press, Football Writers Associated of America, Sports Illustrated and Phil Steele Publications while garnering first-team All C-USA and All-Louisiana recognition. He tied an NCAA Division I record in field goal percentage while becoming just the second player in DI-FBS to finish perfect with 20-plus field goal attempts.
If he defends his title, he would join former Florida State kicker Sebastian Janikowski (1998 & 1999) as the only players to win multiple Grozas.
Kickers on the Lou Groza Award Watch List were chosen based on statistics from the 2012 season and 2013 expectations. Ten conferences are represented among the 30 kickers, led by four each from the ACC, Big Ten, Conference USA and the MAC, while the Mountain West placed three representatives. The American, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC and the Sun Belt each had two kickers recognized, along with independent Notre Dame.
While the Watch List highlights thirty of the best returning kickers in the country, Santos, who was not on the 2012 Watch List, stands as proof that the Groza Committee will be watching all FBS kickers during the season, and releasing a weekly "Stars of the Week" feature on www.lougrozaaward.com.
Accomplishments are tabulated throughout the season and the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award will announce its 20 semifinalists on Monday, November 4th. From this list, a panel of more than 300 FBS head coaches, SIDs, media members, and former winners selects the top three finalists for the award by Monday, November 25th. That same group then selects the national winner, who will be announced on Thursday, December 12th during the Home Depot College Football Awards, broadcast live from Orlando, Fla.
The 22nd Annual Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award, presented by the Orange Bowl Committee, recognizes the three finalists during an early week celebration in Palm Beach County, culminating with a gala awards banquet on December 10th, prior to joining ESPN in Orlando.
The Award is named for National Football League Hall of Fame kicker Lou "The Toe" Groza, who played 21 seasons with the Cleveland Browns. Groza won four NFL championships with Cleveland and was named NFL Player of the Year in 1954. Although an All-Pro offensive lineman as well, Groza ushered in the notion that there should be a place on an NFL roster for a kicker.

A Park City Council candidate and longtime critic of a development in Deer Valley on Thursday leveled a corruption charge against City Hall as she requested that the project be stopped.
Lisa Wilson, a Deer Valley resident who is one of six people on the City Council ballot, has for years opposed the development known as North Silver Lake. Wilson has regularly sent correspondences to City Hall and reporters offering her detailed analyses of the project, raising doubts about items such as the calculations used to determine how much land at the site will remain undeveloped.
But the Thursday message, sent by e-mail to leaders in Park City and Summit County as well as the state legislator whose district includes Park City, appears blunter in some of its language, particularly coming less than a month before the primary election in the City Council contest.
Wilson labeled the message "Corruption in City Hall" and in the second sentence asks that officials in Park City "please stop the backhoes and dump trucks at the North Silver Lake Hotel site." The message ends with the same words. She says in the message she is "still trying to prevent a lawsuit."
Wilson has challenged the project at various stages but has had little success. The Park City Council has repeatedly supported the development approvals granted by the Park City Planning Commission.
Wilson, who lives close to the project site, is especially concerned with the calculations leading to the amount of land that was set aside from development and the property taxes paid at the site.
"I have emailed or been to the City Hall nearly every day since major backhoe work began.
The charge of corruption at City Hall is the most dramatic statement yet during what has been a mild-mannered City Council campaign lacking any political pizzazz. Wilson said at the outset of her campaign the decision to seek a City Council spot was based on her opposition to the North Silver Lake project. She has broached many of the issues in the Thursday e-mail during previous appearances at City Council meetings.
City Hall released a written response to Wilson's claims later on Thursday, saying officials are "confident that the current and past planning approvals regarding this project are valid . . . " It says a state ombudsman has confirmed the approval. The statement also supports the property taxes that have been paid at the site, saying that Wilson's numbers "are factually in error."
In an interview on Thursday evening, Mayor Dana Williams expressed confidence in the municipal government's handling of North Silver Lake. He declined to discuss whether Wilson's message on Thursday could have been politically motivated.
"I don't think City Hall is corrupt at all. She has brought up for years her personal issue with this topic," the mayor said, adding, "There's nothing I can do about a citizen going off and accusing us of something that, in our opinion, is inaccurate."
The North Silver Lake site sits close to the Evergreen and Bellemont neighborhoods. The 54-unit project, a combination of houses and condominiums, was approved in mid-2009. Progress was halted as the economy faltered, but work recently was restarted.
A primary election in the City Council campaign is scheduled Aug. 13. The top four vote-getters in the primary election will advance to Election Day in November, when two City Council spots and the mayor's office are on the ballot.

Police Give Gift Certificates to Studentsback
Contact: Janine Zuniga at (619) 522-7340
Police Give Gift Certificates, Not Citations
Students Following Rules of the Road Receive Rewards
CORONADO, Calif. (August 22, 2013) -- The Coronado Police Department welcomed students back to school today. However, instead of being armed with citation books, officers handed out gift certificates to bicyclists who were following the rules of the road and were properly wearing their bicycle helmets.
Many of the student-police contacts began with an inquisitive look by the student but ended with a big smile. The officers interacted with returning students and parents and provided education about bicycling and driving safety to continue to improve the welfare for the students.
The Coronado Recreation Department supplied the gift certificates, entitling the recipient to a complimentary day of activities at one of the various recreation facilities including the Aquatics Center and Skate Park.
The safety of our school children is a joint effort between parents, community members, the Police Department, schools and students. Students are urged to travel to school in a safe manner. When walking, students should use the sidewalk, walk facing traffic and use crosswalks. Bicyclists should improve their safety by always wearing a properly fitting and fastened helmet and by not traveling diagonally through intersections. They should follow the rules of the road to improve their visibility and reduce conflicts with vehicle traffic. The basics include riding on the right side of the street, stopping at stop signs and looking for cars before changing direction. Walking bikes across major intersections is also advisable.
Drivers will need to be even more observant now that school has started and look out for bicyclists and pedestrians in the mornings and afternoons. When dropping students off at school, parents are encouraged to drop them off so they exit the car onto the sidewalk, not requiring them to cross the street. Drivers should not double-park or block the roadway.

IT was their best time of the day. The walk through the Club Park. He held her hands gently and with a heavy heart started humming the lines of the latest song "We were both young when I first saw you, I close my eyes and the flashback starts." It was Love Story by Taylor Swift and described almost vividly the romance between Romeo and Juliet. She just smiled, like always.
Yes! Almost instantly, he knew the feeling that gripped him. He had often wondered about it when he was young. He had been dazed and perplexed since the first time their eyes had met. And after all these years of togetherness, now he knew for sure, that it was indeed Love. Love that was exquisite but yet so complex to understand in the beginning. Love that had bound them together, in sickness and in health, till death do them apart.
Love is confusing indeed. For how can you explain the sudden attraction and feeling of compassion for someone who is but a stranger to you? How can you decipher the complex cascade of emotions that flow through your heart when you come across that someone special? Love is a beautiful feeling, but as complicated as beautiful. They say, "It's all about the hormones". May be it is. Let's see how.

Souray lives up to billing
Get past the howitzer, as impressive a trademark as it may be, and Sheldon Souray is much more versatile than anybody in the Edmonton Oilers' locker-room expected, possibly including himself.
Get past the howitzer, as impressive a trademark as it may be, and Sheldon Souray is much more versatile than anybody in the Edmonton Oilers' locker-room expected, possibly including himself.
He's their second-leading scorer and fifth among NHL defencemen with 23 points.
He's eating up a team-high 25 minutes nightly with only slightly less efficiency than Chris Pronger employed to extend his effectiveness as an Oiler in the 2005-06 run to the Stanley Cup final.
Souray kills penalties, usually moves the puck with a decent first pass out of the zone, and that horrendous plus/minus stat that preceded him from Montreal to Edmonton is a distant memory, now that he's a serviceable plus-one, tied for sixth on the team.
In fact, the 32-year-old from Elk Point, Alta., is so good right now that if the Oilers had to trade Lubomir Visnovsky to land a scoring forward like Ottawa Senators' Jason Spezza, they could almost feel comfortable doing it.
"The defence should be an elite defence in the league and most nights it is," head coach Craig MacTavish said.
He has basically taken the minutes, and paycheque, that were given to Pronger in 2005 and has proven worthy.
Which is not to suggest he has proven himself a one-for-one Pronger replacement, nor does he think he should fill that kind of role for the Oilers.
"It would be completely unfair to compare me to Chris Pronger because he's an elite player,'' Souray said. "His resume speaks for itself. He's a top three or four defenceman in the league.
"What I had to prove was not that I was going to be as good as him or replace him; it was me I had to live up to."
All-star voting heating up With time ticking down, the National Hockey League's Eastern Conference all-star fan voting looks like a two-team battle.
The Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins continue to dominate the East nominees for the Jan. 25 all-star showdown in Montreal, led by Penguins stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
Crosby has already set an all-star record with 1,109,007 votes, as of noon Tuesday, while Malkin is second among forwards with 999,320 votes.
Three Montreal forwards are fighting for the final spot up front, with Alexei Kovalev (805,893), Saku Koivu (797,370) and Alex Tanguay (788,667) separated by less than 17,300 votes.
On defence, Montreal's Andrei Markov is tops with 879,583 votes, with teammate Mike Komisarek a distant second with 813,001.
Pittsburgh's Sergei Gonchar, who has been out since the pre-season with a shoulder injury, is third with 795,500.
Penguins teammate Ryan Whitney is fourth with 757,166. Gonchar and Whitney aren't eligible to play as neither will have played in the required 20 regular-season games by Jan. 2.
The spot for the starting goaltender position is a tight race, with Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury (880,223) holding a slim lead over Montreal's Carey Price (872,259).
Voting is closed at 9 p.m. Jan. 2, 2009.
THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT Over the years, the Chicago Blackhawks were used to having a team Christmas party with plenty of wives and kids.
Only this year, the party was lacking in wives, and the kids were the players themselves.
"There are kids all around the room," Nikolai Khabibulin joked to the Daily Herald Times in Illinois. "They're just a little older."
Khabibulin is only one of five Blackhawks players who are married, and one of four players to have celebrated their 30th birthday.
The Blackhawks' roster includes 15 players who are 25 and under.
"It's definitely young and it's unique in that there's not as many kids," Chicago coach and former Spitfire Joel Quenneville told the newspaper. "I think when we skate on New Year's Eve at Wrigley (Field), I think Detroit has all their family and kids coming.
"I think they can probably suit up a couple teams with all their kids. We might not even have a roster. Our kids will be on the ice during our practice."
LIFE WITHOUT SUNDIN The New York Rangers returned home from a West Coast road trip with two wins and one loss.
With victories in Anaheim and Los Angeles and a loss in San Jose, it was considered a successful road swing.
The loss of Mats Sundin, who decided to sign with the Vancouver Canucks last week rather than to take the Rangers up on their offer, apparently wasn't much of a loss at all.
"We would have loved to have him join our team, there's no doubt about that," forward Markus Naslund told the Rockland Journal News.
"But, you never knew what it would take. We never knew if we had to lose a couple of guys. I like what we have going on here."

Seven Seas Cruising AssociationBill
11/28/2010, Oriental NC
Let me tell you about the Seven Seas Cruising Association (www.ssca.org), especially about Joan in Norfolk area. She was tracking the boats int he Caribbean 1500 as we left Hampton, worried about the weather. When Joan saw that Sunrise had gone in at the Oregon Inlet, she called us on our cell phone (where did she get the number?). Hearing our story, she immediately offered to drive down with "warm milk and cookies, if that is what you need."
11/28/2010 | Howard
Hi Bill, we met in Hampton - I was last minute crew on "Starbound". I have to say that I agree with your assessment completely. I was always leery of rallies for the very reasons you state and my experience in this year's Carib 1500 reinforced those thoughts. While we made it without too much trouble, I would not have left in my own boat with the weather forecast as it was. The rally can claim to offer all the help they want, but when you're at sea you're on your own.
Good luck with your repairs and the rest of your cruising.
11/28/2010 | Joan
Bill and Lara and Isobel,
We are just an extended family of cruisers. Just pass it on --to the next sailor who has challenges that you all meet.
The weather off Hatteras is something to respect, just glad you are safe. Boats Glenlyon(Sue Stanley and Rodney Carlson), Chardonnay (Scott Berg) and Babe(Jerry and Diane Wheeler), and many others have all assisted. As for cell number its good to have a database with contact numbers, may be SSCA should add float plans/contacts as well.
Fair Winds
11/29/2010 | Starbound
After hearing about your experience with SSCA we quickly dug into the storage locker and found our SSCA flag and are now flying it proudly for you! We miss you!
What was I thinking?Bill

This is a photo showing sunrise over Long Island Sound after our night-time run to Port Jefferson.
11/26/2010 | Diane
Try to put this experience behind you. Valuable lessons learned and hopefully fellow sailors can learn from your candid expression of following the well established Caribbean 1500 when your gut feeling tells you not to. Hope to see you once again on the water with fair winds and following seas.
11/27/2010 | Randy
Hey Bill and Lara,
Diane said it all - live and learn. You're good and seasoned sailors now and you know what is right for you. As expensive and time consuming as this event has been for you, it is relatively minor compared to the boat and life that was lost. In the end, you made the right decision not to press on and you've lived to tell about it and you can count that as a success. Happy Thanksgiving - keep in touch!
11/27/2010 | Henry & Sally Stevens
So thankful you are safe. We have followed your sails & glad Sunrise will soon be ready to sail again. Look forward to seeing you if ever this way again.
11/27/2010 | Joan
Just glad you are all safe. Yes, will take time to get Sunrise patched up--but sounds like you are getting there. We also have had weather lessons, and the more we sail the more we learn. Give Isabel a hug, she is a sweet little darling. And we hope to keep in touch!
11/28/2010 | Anastasia
Could not agree with your post more. The more experience Jen and I get, the right decision is staring us in the face. Variables make the decision difficult...stressful and sometimes the result of the decision is a major inconvenience, but 9 times out of 10 later we look back and say-"yeah that was the right call for us". We just got into St. Thomas yesterday morning...can't wait to see you guys when you get down here.
Risks of the seaBill
11/17/2010, Oriental NC
As Randy points out in his comment below, one of the boats in our class, Rule 62 diverted to the Bahamas and hit a reef at on Saturday at 11 pm. After launching the life raft with all four crew on board, the raft was overturned in the surf as they tried to reach shore. three of the four crew made it to the beach and the forth is still missing...
11/17/2010 | Tom Sawtell
Best wishes to you guys, I have been following your blog for close to 2 years, can't wait to get back out there. Although this is certainly the "down" side to this lifestyle, I know you will come through stronger and wiser for it.
11/17/2010 | leann Rossi
I amglad that you, your family, and the other sailors are all safe. Thank you for your blog, i have been searching for a better understanding as to what the conditions were out on the open wate. You see, Laura Zekoll is a dear friendof mine, and although it comes with great sorrow that this tragedy has occured, I at least have a sense of acceptance that she transitionedwhile in her element. I wish you all knew her as well as Ibut in essence you already do. She is a sailor....enough said...I will miss her, she gave many people a new outlook on life. If you have a chance, get to know her by helping someone else...you see, that is what her life was all about, giving a hand up...not a hand out. I have just one request, eventhough i dont know you, place some flowers at the finish line for me, in her honor, and say the serenity prayer....she would like that...hugs from leann in Atlant Ga.
11/19/2010 | elizabeth doucette
heartfelt- and no words are acceptable. i am SO glad to see you all on board- thinking of you hard since we left hampton. not enough thanks, not enough hugs. you may just pass us again yet. prayers into the universe for your sailing comrade, laura. may she always rest in the arms of the sea.
Glad we are in Pamlico SoundBill, 55 degrees, wind 10 knots N

Bill and Pete readies the Dingy for a quick deployment should something happen to our boat. the little girl takes the oportunitiy to swing
11/12/2010 | Anastasia
Sending good thoughts your way!
11/12/2010 | Estelle Crew
Just read your blog and are so glad to know that you are safe and sound, what an experience. We highly recommend Deatons boatyard in Oriental. Had very good work done there and they are terrific to work with. What are your plans re cruising now??
the short haulBill
11/11/2010, Wanchese, NC
Well, it is hard to see in the photo... we obviously banged the rudder at some point in the "incident". Banged hard enough to crack the fiberglass at the top of the skeg and pop the fairing compound around all the hinges. Note the wet spot above the prop. the bottom paint has vertical cracks in it that indicate that the skeg was stressed there. I have more photos, of course...
11/11/2010 | George Mora
I got such a feeling in the pit of my stomach when I saw your course change dramatically back towards land. What an ordeal. I'm so glad you're all safe, if rather battle-scarred. But so sorry to hear about the boat. Sending healing energy to all, Sunrise herself included.
Had to be there...Bill
11/09/2010, Wanchese, NC
There is a fine line between a tragety and a really good story. Here we pose with our Type 1 PFDs and have a story to tell!! A really good story.
11/10/2010 | Randy
Holy crap! Man, I am glad you guys made it in. I remember the Oregon Inlet and thinking I would not want to try that. Hope the damage is minimal. Most important: you guys are safe. Let us all know how things work out.
11/11/2010 | Green
Yikes! I hope the haul out went well. Take care and say hi to the girls for us.

Windows Phone Resources
I'm working with a group at the Microsoft Silicon Valley Campus in Mountain View around learning the Windows Phone 7. As part of the preparation for the group, I searched the web and contacted my team to see what we could use. This is what I've come up with so far:
If you run into other useful resources, please let me know, and I'll add them to the list.
I think it's safe to say that I am more aware of security issues than most users out there. I don't open unknown attachments, I don't run scripts or executables unless I know what they are and where they came from, and I don't install weird apps that mess with my system. So when visiting a site with Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2 installed links directly into my start menu without so much as a dialog box asking me if it would be alright, I knew it was time for a better browser. I installed Firefox, and was happy with it for quite some time. I only ran a couple of add-ons, and didn't use them much because I often switched machines, and they weren't always configured the same, but I was happy with the speed and security I was getting.
When Internet Explorer 7 came out, I tried it out, but mostly stuck with Firefox for my everyday surfing. When Internet Explorer 8 came out with it's beta, I tried it out, and it actually piqued my interest. As far as the features I used in Firefox, everything was there. In addition, I tried out the accelerators, and especially liked the translation tool, which made it a lot easier to translate my wife's blog. I also heard a lot about the standards support, and the increased security they had built in. I've been running IE8 as my main browser for quite some time now, and it's great to see that it looks like I made the right choice.
In a recent study, the security of the most popular browsers was tested by NSS Labs, focusing on the Mean Block Rate for Socially Engineered Malware, and Phishing. Internet Explorer 8 came out on top for both tests. Internet Explorer 8's SmartScreen Filter has blocked over 80 million malware blocks, including the pre-release versions, and delivers a malware block for around 1 out of every 40 users, every week. Check out the links to see the details of the report.
If you've been thinking about checking out Internet Explorer 8, a great place to start is the Internet Explorer 8 Online Challenge from Microsoft Singapore. It only takes five minutes to run through, and it gives a great overview of the new features built in to the latest version of the browser.
Starting today, students and faculty with access to the MSDN Academic Alliance will see a few new products available through their system. The most notable of these products in Windows 7 Professional edition, over two months before it's available to the general public. I've been running Windows 7 since it was first made available in the public beta, and have been very impressed by it's overall quality, including it's speed and stability. I currently have four machines running Windows 7, my two work laptops, which are running the RTM Enterprise edition, and two netbooks, running the Release Candidate. I plan to pick up a copy of the RTM for my netbooks when general availability drops on October 22nd, but even the Release candidate is better than any Operating System I've run before (and yes, I have run multiple non-Windows OSes).
Also up on the MSDN AA page is Expression Studio 3. This includes Blend, Design, Web, and Encoder, all of which contain huge improvements from the previous versions. It's hard to believe that the entire product sweet has been around for less than two years, seeing the quality of the releases. Some things to take a look at inside of Expression Studio 3 are behaviors in Blend (building games in Silverlight just became a lot easier), and the screen recording tool in Encoder. Encoder also supports AVCHD natively now, though you have to have a licensed version to do so. There's also a preset in there for encoding for the Zune HD, which I have been waiting for patiently since I first heard about it.
If you don't have access to MSDN AA, and you are a student or faculty member in a department that focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, or Design, let me know. I should be able to hook you up with the people to make it happen. And if you have MSDN AA, but you don't see Windows 7 or Expression Studio 3, check with your administrator, or drop me a comment,and we'll get that fixed, too. Just imagine rolling up to a buddies house and showing him the Silverlight game you built on your Windows 7 laptop. You know you want this. Go make it happen.
The next time you log in to Xbox LIVE, you'll see a few new features. The first thing I tried out was the new Avatar Marketplace. You can buy branded items from games and fashion labels, but I'm not one for paying for virtual items, so I changed my glasses to look like my new pair, and moved on to the next feature.
This is the one I'm most excited about: Games on Demand. This is where I'm hoping the console will end up going with all of their games. Ideally, there'd be no more worrying about fitting a game onto a single DVD, or scratched discs causing the game to fail an hour since your last save. Unfortunately, there weren't any games in the store that I was interested in and don't already own, but nonetheless, I'm paying attention.
The last thing I am excited about in this latest update is the updates they did to the Netflix features. When Netflix was first added to Xbox LIVE, they discussed the ability to be able to watch movies along with a friend, but it hasn't actually been possible until now. The other neat addition is the ability to edit your queue straight from the Xbox. Previously, I had to boot up my netbook to add a new movie, so this is a welcome addition.
There are some other minor things like being able to rate games and some party invite stuff, but those are the ones I'm most interested in.
The new release of Expression Blend 3 comes with a great new feature called SketchFlow. SketchFlow allows you to rapidly create a prototype of your application that can be used to get buy-in from clients, and to get feedback on the design of the system without worrying on the details like which fonts you chose and the exact shade of blue your logo should be. One of the tools in the arsenal of SketchFlow is the Sketch Styles, formerly known as wiggly controls. The Sketch Styles give a real back of the napkin feel to your application, and really convey the idea of the fact that what you're showing them is not complete. It helps to avoid those moments where you show your client your design, and get the response, "Looks great, let's ship it."
When I first saw SketchFlow, I fell in love with the sketch styles. I wanted to use them in the Silverlight applications I was already working on, and had taken beyond the prototype stage. If you look in the User Guide inside of Blend, you can see an entry that shows you how to convert a SketchFlow application into a production project, but if you're just interested in getting the Sketch Styles into your application, it is possible. For this example, I'll be using a Silverlight application in the full version of Expression Blend 3. The process was a bit more difficult with the Release Candidate, but you should have upgraded by now anyway.
The first step in getting Sketch Styles into your Silverlight application is to open a new Silverlight 3 SketchFlow Application, and the Silverlight 3 application you want to add the Sketch Styles to. If you don't have an application you're already working on, you can just start a new Silverlight 3 Application + Website.
In the SketchFlow application, you'll need to copy over the Fonts directory with the three fonts contained within, and the SketchStyles.xaml file. You'll also need to add references to the Microsoft.Expression.Prototyping.SketchControls.dll and System.Windows.Controls.dll. By default they'll be in your C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Expression\Blend 3\Prototyping\Libraries\Silverlight and C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v3.0\Libraries\Client directories, respectfully.
Once you've got those over, you're done! Have fun with your Sketch Style enabled Silverlight application.

While speaking at an event marking the five-year anniversary of the Tea Party, conservative talk show host Mark Levin said the Tea Party is the only thing standing between what's left of the American republic and the tyranny of government, Breitbart.com reported Thursday.
The grassroots movement began five years ago in response to the Obama administration's policies, and has been routinely mocked and criticized by Democrats, moderate Republicans and the media.
Despite the attacks, the Tea Party was instrumental in the 2010 midterm elections and remains a strong force in politics today -- so strong, Democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer want the IRS to squash the movement with overbearing regulations.
Levin told the group Thursday the Constitution is under attack from a lawless president, a feckless Congress, and an all-powerful Supreme Court, Tony Lee reported.
He also praised the group for having what he called the "spirit and enthusiasm of the founding fathers" and not being afraid to insist the federal government comply with limits set in the Constitution.
For this, he added, the Tea Party is "smeared and attacked by the ruling class, Democrats and Republicans alike," in addition to the so-called mainstream media and "countless others who are dragging the nation into the abyss."
But he also said the group cannot be idle.
"And you will not be silent while a relative handful of self-aggrandizing masterminds seek to lord over you and your fellow citizens," he added. "You will not allow your country to fail."
Levin, Lee added, quoted from Thomas Paine's Revolutionary War-era "The American Crisis" about these being the "times that try men's soul" and "the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph. Triumph we must and triumph we will."
The situation is so dire that Jonathan Turley, professor of public interest law at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., told Congress Wednesday the country has reached a "constitutional tipping point" under President Obama.
We are now at the constitutional tipping point for our system. If balance is to be reestablished, it must begin before this president leaves office and that will likely require every possible means to reassert legislative authority," he said, explaining that no one -- not even Obama -- can "go it alone."
"We are stuck with each other in a system of shared powers — for better or worse," he said. "We may deadlock or even despise each other. The framers clearly foresaw such periods. They lived in such a period. Whatever problems we are facing today in politics, they are problems of our own making. They should not be used to take from future generations a system that has safeguarded our freedoms for over 250 years."
Turley said he agrees with Obama, but does not approve of the way Obama is enacting his agenda.
Levin is set to be honored with the inaugural "Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award" at this year's CPAC on March 6, Lee said.

sweet potato and sausage soup
print now | return to original post
Sweet Potato and Sausage Soup
Bon Appetit, October 2007
We ended up using spicy chorizo (yee-ouch!) but it played off the sweet potatoes perfectly, saving me from death by cayenne.
Gourmet note: This hearty soup gets rich flavor from linguica, a delicious pork sausage from Portugal seasoned with garlic, paprika, and other spices.
Makes 8 servings
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 10- to 11-ounce fully cooked smoked Portuguese linguica sausage or chorizo sausage, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices (Spanish chorizo can be substituted)
2 medium onions, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams; about 2 large), peeled, quartered lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 pound white-skinned potatoes, peeled, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
6 cups low-salt chicken broth
1 9-ounce bag fresh spinach
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook until brown, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Transfer sausage to paper towels to drain. (I poured off some of the oil in the pot at this point, but the original recipe doesn't think this is needed.) Add onions and garlic to pot and cook until translucent, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add all potatoes and cook until beginning to soften, stirring often, about 12 minutes. Add broth; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Using potato masher, mash some of potatoes in pot. Add browned sausage to soup. Stir in spinach and simmer just until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and serve.
Other options to consider: Kielbasa (suggested by commenter Wendy) instead of chorizo/linguica, adding a can or two of drained white beans or using more spinach. I love spinach wilted in soups and could have used even more.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got married today but two of their famous friends didn't make it to the big day. On Saturday, US Magazine shared that Beyonce and Jay Z actually skipped the wedding. Reports have been out for a while that Kim was really wanting them to be there, but they decided to take a trip the Hamptons instead.
Beyonce did go to her Instagram to wish them the best, but didn't go to the wedding. Instead she was hanging out in the Hamptons and showing off pictures of her braids. It sounds like they were having a good time but going to the wedding was not a top priority to them.
Jay Z and Beyonce were expected to go Kim and Kanye's wedding but for some reason they changed their mind. It is unknown if it had anything to do with the bad press surrounding them lately after Jay Z got into an argument with Beyonce's sister. They may have just had something going on in the Hamptons that they couldn't miss out on. Another person that missed the wedding was Rob Kardashian and you can read more about it at this link.

|Four earn academic honor
MOSCOW, Idaho - Four University of Idaho men's student-athletes were announced on Thursday as Capital One Academic All-District VIII honorees for the 2010-11 track and field/cross country seasons, as voted by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
One Vandal senior and three juniors were honored with spots on the All-District Second Team, including two who made the list for a second year in a row. Juniors Jeremy Klas and Markus Geiger were repeat honorees, while senior Eugenio Mannucci and junior Jeremiah Dubie were honored for the first time.
"Those four guys really define what it means to be a student-athlete," Idaho director of track and field Wayne Phipps said. "They've shown that they can compete at an extremely high level, and also produce at a very high level in the classroom, and that's a great statement about our athletic department and our university."
Dubie is a third-year Vandal distance runner and cross country athlete from Kearsage, N.H., who holds a 3.94 grade-point average in Food Science. He earned three second-team all-Western Athletic Conference honors this season, two indoors and one outdoors.
He took fourth in the 5000m and fifth in the 3000m at the WAC Indoor Championships and then finished fourth in the 10,000m with the ninth-fastest time in school history (30:52.39). In the cross country season, Dubie scored for Idaho in five of the team's six meets, including four times at the No. 3 finisher spot.
Geiger was the 2011 WAC Men's Indoor Track Co-Performer of the Year, the 2009 WAC Indoor Men's Freshman of the Year and 2008 WAC Men's Cross Country Freshman of the Year. He is from Bad Neustadt, Germany, and is majoring in Electrical Engineering with a 3.84 cumulative GPA.
He led Idaho with 18 points at the WAC Indoor Championships this year after winning the 5000m and taking second in the 3000m. He was Idaho's top cross country finisher in three of the team's six meets, including the WAC Championships, where he took third overall. He is a seven-time first-team all-WAC honoree and a two-time WAC Athlete of the Week.
Jeremy Klas rewrote the Idaho record book during the indoor season with a school-record clearance of 17-9 (5.41m) in the pole vault and a second-consecutive trip to the NCAA Indoor Championships, where he earned USTFFFCA Honorable Mention All-America recognition. The Moscow, Idaho, native posted a 3.52 GPA in Computer Science.
Klas is a five-time first-team all-WAC honoree and three-time WAC champion in the vault. He is the only man in Idaho history to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships in the event, and he's done it in consecutive years. His 17-9 vault this indoor season was tied for fifth in the NCAA and 11th overall in the U.S. He was a 2010 Second-Team Academic All-District pick and is a two-time USTFCCCA Division I All-Academic honoree.
Mannucci is a senior from Viterbo, Italy, who graduated in December with a 3.75 GPA in Animal and Veterinary Science (Pre-Vet). He is a three-time WAC champion in the shot put and a five-time first-team all-WAC honoree. He won both the indoor and outdoor WAC shot put titles in 2011 and last weekend, booked his second-straight trip to the NCAA Championships final round.
On May 12, Mannucci became the seventh Vandal in history to break the 60-foot barrier in the event and ranks sixth all-time with a best of 60-5.75 (18.43m). This year, he joined Vandal legends Ray McDonald, Joachim Olsen, Simon Stewart and Russ Winger as the fifth Idaho man to qualify for the NCAA Championships in the shot put in consecutive seasons.
Vandal track and field student-athletes have earned 22 Academic All-District honors since 2008. The men's team has a cumulative 3.03 team GPA, while the women hold a 3.31 team average.
"It's always one of our team goals to have our team GPA above 3.0 and have every athlete above a 3.0," Phipps said. "This shows that our goals are being met and our student-athletes are taking it very seriously to achieve success on the track and work toward earning their degrees, as well."
To be considered for the honor, student-athletes must have achieved sophomore standing both athletically and academically and must have at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA. The teams are voted upon by the sports information directors in each of the eight respective districts.

SAXM – New Vacuum Suction Pads for Handling Sheet Metal at High Speeds
Schmalz will provide solutions with a new range of especially adaptable suction pads for extremely dynamic handling of sheet metal and car body parts from mid 2011.
- High-speed sheet metal handling: SAXM suction pads with increased stroke and maximized absorption of holding and lateral forces
Whether in the pressing plant or as part of bodyshell work – automation processes in the automobile industry are becoming more and more complex: Quicker cycles, higher output quantities and a wide range of workpiece outlines require flexible solutions in the area of handling and supply. Vacuum technology specialist Schmalz will provide these solutions with a new range of especially adaptable suction pads for extremely dynamic handling of sheet metal and car body parts from mid 2011.
To optimize the handling performance of automotive sheet metal parts, vacuum specialist J. Schmalz GmbH is complementing its product range with the SAXM series of suction pads.
Compared to the existing range of flat suction pads, the high-speed SAXM suction pads, which will be available from mid 2011, have a considerably increased suction pad stroke that allows the suction pads to adjust optimally to contoured workpieces.
Furthermore, the suction pad geometry offers all the advantages that are required for the highly dynamic handling of parts: minimal suction times, high intrinsic stability while suction is applied and the absorption of extreme holding and lateral forces, even with oiled surfaces. The use of a cutting-edge and innovative material makes the suction pads extremely resistant to wear, even when subjected to extreme environmental conditions such as ozone or aggressive drawing oils.
SAXM vacuum suction pads will be available in sizes with diameters from 30 mm through 115 mm. With various connections (female thread, male thread, quick connectors), they can be adapted easily to all common tooling systems. The modular design of the suction pads minimizes purchase costs and make it possible to quickly replace damaged components. Schmalz accommodates the demand for environmentally friendly products by producing them in such a way that the materials of the individual components can be easily separated, 100% correctly sorted and recycled.
Altogether, the details of the design provide for an optimized material flow of sheet metal and car body parts in press lines and robot systems – and make the SAXM suction pads the performance specialists when it comes to handling sheet metal at high speeds.
