Courtney vows to keep Cornell rollingBy Dana O'Neil
June 3, 2010
It was 1996 and Jim Larranaga was looking for a new assistant coach for his Bowling Green staff. He'd already interviewed 27 candidates, and though all of them clearly had strong basketball backgrounds, they lacked the one special thing Larranaga was looking for.
Finally a colleague recommended Larranaga sit down with Bill Courtney.
Larranaga did. He liked what he heard but he wanted to make sure. To seal the deal, Larranaga invited Courtney over to his house for an interview.
It was more like a first date.
They played basketball, a fierce game of two-on-two with Larranaga's teenage sons. They went to the movies and then shared a cookout with the Bowling Green team.
Finally, when the evening was over, Courtney retired to his room.
That would be the spare room in Larranaga's house.
"It was probably the strangest interview Bill has ever been on or will ever be on in his life,'' Larranaga said. "But I knew what I was looking for. I was looking for someone who was upbeat and was as enthusiastic about life as he was about basketball. Through those 24 hours together, I knew Bill was the guy.''
What Larranaga discovered is the same thing Seth Greenberg realized when he hired Courtney at Virginia Tech. In a comically eerie coincidence, the two head coaches -- reached independently of one another by telephone -- described Courtney exactly the same way. As in word for word:
"He's never had a bad day in his life,'' the head coaches echoed.
The 39-year-old Courtney will have to work extra hard to keep that sunny outlook intact now that he's slid over to the head-coaching chair at one of the red-hottest mid-major jobs in the country, Cornell.
Under normal circumstances it would be a tough gig. No scholarships to offer, a big tuition price tag and tough admissions conspire to make Ivy League jobs the ultimate windmill-tilting affair.
But Courtney comes to Ithaca, N.Y., in the wake of the Big Red's Cinderella run to the Sweet 16 and in the middle of a three-year Ivy League championship swing.
He also comes to Ithaca after Cornell said goodbye to its most legendary class of players, which included Jeff Foote, Louis Dale and Ryan Wittman.
Good thing he likes windmills.
"Every job has its challenges, but I don't look at what Cornell has done as a challenge,'' he said. "To me that says, 'It's possible. It can be done at an Ivy League school and more, at Cornell in particular.' I'm sure some people's perceptions have changed but not mine. I've always been a dreamer.''
He is living his dream now, which is why every day is sunny with no chance of showers in his forecast. Courtney knew he wanted to be a basketball coach in high school and as soon as he graduated from Bucknell and finished up an overseas playing career, he set out to make it happen.
After a year as a high school coach, he took a job with Fran O'Hanlon at Lafayette, a full-time gopher gig that paid him little and required a lot.
A month later, O'Hanlon all but pushed Courtney out the door to American, where he could actually earn a little bit of money.
After one season, he was interviewing at the movie theater with Larranaga.
"I wanted someone who was totally committed to being upbeat and positive, not just when things were going well but all the time. That was Bill,'' Larranaga said. "We'd lose a game and I'd be in a staff meeting ripping the players. This one can't hit free throws when it counts. This guy can't defend. He'd come back and say, 'Well you know we could have so-and-so,' and he'd name a kid from another school he knew I didn't like. He always got me back to looking at things in a positive way.''
Courtney spent eight years at George Mason, leaving for Providence the season before the Patriots made their epic run to the Final Four.
Courtney recruited most of those players and as he watched the Patriots slay giants, recalled what he told them during their recruitment.
"I told the guys when I recruited them to George Mason, 'Why can't we play in a Final Four? Dream big,''' he said. "When you're in the coaching world for a while, you learn to temper your expectations a little bit. But I do still dream big. I do still think it can be done.''
Courtney, who spent three years at Virginia with Dave Leitao before joining Greenberg at Virginia Tech, believes the secret to success is finding guys who are more than just skilled players on the basketball court.
He looks for players who have a healthy chip on their shoulder combined with an air of confidence, kids who are both competitive and unselfish.
The talent pool changes at Cornell, away from the name cachet of an ACC school and the promise of scholarships. But those who know Courtney believe he can still fish out the quality kids.
"He cuts through all of the static,'' Greenberg said. "He has a very good feel for evaluating players up. He doesn't get caught up in where a kid is ranked. He looks at who the player is and what he does well. A lot of people get caught up in what other people think. He goes to watch players. Some can play, some can't.''
The bar for success is not set by only the basketball team at Cornell. The men's lacrosse team recently made its second consecutive appearance in the final four and the men's and women's hockey teams each have a Frozen Four to their credit.
Before Donahue came to town, Cornell had one Ivy League title in its basketball history. Now the Big Red are on the verge of matching a streak not seen since Princeton's run in the early 1990s (and only one Ancient Eight team -- Penn -- has won more than five league titles in succession).
So the pressure of expectation, even with a roster that graduates its three leading scorers and three top rebounders, will still be in play.
"The biggest challenge for him will be the fact that he's on the hot seat now,'' Larranaga said. "As optimistic as he is, he needs to have someone who will remind him, when things aren't going well, 'Hey you're a head coach. Would you rather be an assistant?' He needs a Bill Courtney.''

Field hockey players bound for Amsterdam
A group of Tri-City field hockey athletes will be getting a taste of international competition next week.
Delisa LaRiviere, Nicole Godman, Natalie Winter and Niki Best, all Grade 11 and 12 students at Dr. Charles Best secondary, will join athletes from across Canada on a trip to the World Youth Tournament in Amsterdam. There, the group will take on some of the best field hockey competition in their age group in the world, playing against club's from across Europe.
Rob Short, the owner of Rob Short Academy, a coaching clinic that organized the team, said the athletes were eager to test their ability against some tough squads.
"It's exciting but it's also a bit overwhelming," he said. "We are going to be competing against some of the best club teams in the world."
Short is no stranger to European competition. He played professionally in Holland for 16 years and represented Canada at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and in Beijing in 2008.
He said that the team he has assembled for the trip to Amsterdam has some of the best players from the area.
LaRiviere, Godman, Winter and Best have all played on the Dr. Charles Best field hockey team and Short believes the experience they gain in Europe will be extremely valuable. The four players will be joining 31 other team members from Canada on the trip.
Many of the athletes that enter his academy are eyeing university and college scholarships, which has led to a dramatic increase in the popularity of field hockey in recent years.
"The numbers really do seem to be increasing," he said. "For males, it is up and down but for females the sports is growing."
The tournament will begin with a series of test matches against clubs from Holland. After that, the team will compete in round-robin play and hopefully make their way into the playoff rounds.
Short said he is particularly interested to see how his club fares against Holland. That country has won the field hockey competition at the last two Olympics and the sport is so popular that many athletes make a living in their professional league.
There will be a lot of eyes on the World Youth Tournament, he added. The event is taking place in a stadium beside the World Cup field hockey competition, which will run for most of the week.
"We are the side event," Short said. "The World Cup is going to be going on right next door."

Bryan "Baby" Williams Has Bought A Very, Very Expensive Car
Cash Money Records owner Bryan "Baby" Williams has just bought a new car. It's called a Bugatti Veyron and it is the most expensive care available for sale in the whole world. To celebrate, Baby, who is not known for his modesty, put on an outfit that matches the car's color (red) and made a video for people who have much, much less money than he does to watch. The car can go 260 miles per hour, which is way above the speed limit in Louisiana, and it cost $2.5 million. Which sounds like a lot, but then sounds like a little less when you consider than the yearly maintenance will cost $300,000.

Woodside Petroleum lifted production and revenue by about 30 per cent in 2012 to new records, due to its massive Pluto liquefied natural gas operations in Western Australia.
Woodside's revenue in the 12 months to December 31 was $6.2 billion, up 30 per cent from $4.8 billion in 2011.
Production in 2012 was 84.9 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe), up 31 per cent from 64.6 mmboe in 2011 and within its previously-issued guidance.
"Our full-year production levels clearly demonstrate what a game-changer Pluto is for Woodside, with production levels consistently above our expectations," Woodside chief executive Peter Coleman said in a statement on Thursday.

Cape Town - He can no longer skateboard, ride a bicycle or play soccer with ease, after an evening with friends at a park turned into a nightmare when his toe had to be amputated after a merry-go-round fell on his foot.
The 12-year-old boy's mother is now suing the City of Cape Town for R1.2 million, saying the equipment was not properly maintained, and that the screws of the merry-go-round were loose.
She charges that her son, who cannot be identified because he is a minor, has to endure being ridiculed by his peers after his toe was amputated. However, the city has countered that the boy and his friends lifted the merry-go-round and carried it before it fell on his foot.
According to papers lodged at the Western Cape High Court, the incident took place at 6.30pm at the Kuils River City Park in Wesbank on June 19, 2011.
The mother alleged that the city did not attend to the playground in terms of its maintenance schedule.
The child was treated at a local day hospital and sent home.
However, days later, he was admitted to Tygerberg Hospital where it emerged that amputation was necessary.
Expert reports attached to the summons indicate that the child can no longer skateboard, play soccer or ride a bicycle with ease. He also experiences balancing difficulties. In addition, he was teased by his peers, feared being laughed at, and had been emotionally affected by the incident. But the city denies it is at fault.
If, however,
the court found that it was negligent, it would argue that the child was partly to blame because he and his friends lifted the merry-go-round and carried it around the park, before it fell on his foot.
The city says that, at his age, he had the capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness of his actions, and should have known that, by lifting the merry-go-round, he could injure himself.
The city also alleges that the child's mother was partly to blame because she did not exercise proper control over him.
In addition, it claims that the mother failed to take care of her son's wound, which saw him readmitted to hospital days later, and his toe amputated.

Ever gawked at a properly dressed, made up woman walking down the street, thinking it was a transgender? Chances are that you might have spotted one of the "maskers".
Representational picture
Maskers are men who disguise themselves into female dolls by putting on elaborate, lifelike rubber suits in an attempt to escape, express the more feminine parts of their personality or just to have fun, News.com.au reported.
Barbie Ramos, owner of the company Femskin that makes custom-made silicone outfits for maskers, said that such people are not freaky or weird, but like any other person except for at night or on special occasions, they like to put on a mask.
The world of female masking has been kept under wraps for a while, but it has now been explored in a new UK documentary 'Secrets of the Living Dolls'.

Improvements to the pension system have been ordered after a war veteran lived in poverty for 22 years because he was not told what money he was entitled to.
Pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith has called for a tightening of procedures after learning of the case of Chelsea Pensioner Tom Isted, who died last year aged 86.
Mr Isted, who was originally from Horsley Road in Chingford and served during the Suez Crisis, received an army pension which covered his rent at the Royal Hospital in Chelsea.
But it wasn't until after his death that his family discovered he had spent the last 22 years of his life earning less than £50 a month doing small jobs at the hospital because he didn't realise he was also entitled to a state pension.
Mr Isted's son David, who still lives at the family home in Chingford, says the government should have done more ensure his father was provided for.
The Merchant Navy captain added: "I'm at a complete loss. He served in Palestine, battled in Adan and was at the heart of the Suez conflict for his majesty's government, but he got nothing in return.
"He was a proud man and a gentleman so he would never discuss his finances. If only we'd known.
"He could have travelled more, he could have had a much better quality of life, all for the sake of the government making a phone call. It's bureaucratic nonsense. I think it's disgusting."
When Mr Isted made inquiries about why his father had been left living in poverty, he was initially told the pensioner had rejected a state pension in 2001.
But it was later admitted that this was not true and he had simply not claimed it.
When Mr Isted contacted Iain Duncan Smith looking for answers, the Chingford MP, himself an ex-serviceman, vowed to do all he could to ensure others do not suffer in the same way.
In a letter he said: "I have considered whether the policy around claiming the state pension is correct, in light of your father's experience.
"I have asked the Pension, Disability and Carers Service to look again at their procedures and advise me on what adjustments can be made, so that this situation does not arise again."
And Mr Isted hopes this means other vulnerable ex-servicemen will be protected.
"I feel terrible about what happened to him but so many army veterans come out of it not knowing what their entitlement actually is.
"The government should do the right thing – this could affect thousands of people," he said.

NEW ORLEANS — After months of discussion, the New Orleans City Council voted Thursday to approve a new set of laws that govern food trucks and a yearlong pilot program that will allow more of them to operate in the city.
The council voted 6-1 to approve the ordinance after going back and forth for nearly two hours about amending amendments during the drawn-out and, at times, confusing debate. District D Councilwoman Cynthia Hedge-Morrell was the lone dissenter.
The discussion centered on a half-dozen amendments to Council President Stacy Head's proposed ordinance that would loosen existing food-truck laws and increase the number of permits by 75.
Head has said the 50-year-old laws that regulate food trucks need to be updated since the industry has changed post-Katrina.
While Head submitted two of the amendments, Council Vice President Jackie Clarkson added four more, something Head said was done late Wednesday night, leaving little time for review.
Clarkson's amendments largely focused on access to rest rooms and the distance from which food trucks can park from brick-and-mortar restaurants.
Ultimately the council changed all but two of the amendments.
One of Head's amendments, which the council unanimously approved, said that any food-truck operator "must be able to demonstrate authorized access to a rest room within a reasonable distance" of that truck's location.
Head said that amendment was in response to concerns from the Louisiana Restaurant Association, and she submitted it even though she thought it was "silly" since other vendors do not have to be located near rest rooms.
Ultimately, though, Head's amendment, while approved, was superseded by one of Clarkson's amendments.
That change requires a food-truck operator to be located within 300 feet of a public or private rest room and have proof that customers can use those facilities, unless that operator can prove that there is no rest room within 300 feet of where the truck will park.
Additionally, there is no need to worry about rest room locations if the truck will be parked at one location fewer than two hours.
That amendment passed 5-2, with Head and District E Councilman James Gray voting against it.
Head's and Gray's concerns about putting too many restrictions on the trucks during the pilot period were echoed by those who run food trucks.
"If we have restrictions in place, we're not going to learn whether they're doing to be a problem," said Rachel Billow, the operator of La Cochinita and president of the New Orleans Food Truck Coalition. "The best solution would be to wait until it becomes a problem."
Taceaux Loceaux operator Alex del Castillo agreed and said he was not sure why there needed to be a rest-room requirement. He noted that he had "managed not to soil myself" while working in his truck.
"Why is it suddenly important now?" he said. "What are you fixing?"
The distance that trucks must part from restaurants has been a major point of contention among the council, food-truck operators and restaurateurs during the months-long process to get the proposed food-truck legislation to the council for a vote.
Previous incarnations of the ordinance Head introduced would have allowed food trucks to park as close as 50 feet to restaurants. Right now, city law prohibits a food truck from parking 600 feet from a business.
One of Clarkson's amendments would have set that distance at 300 feet, unless a restaurant operator gives written permission for the park to truck in front of his or her business. District B Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell suggested reducing that distance to 200 feet.
Clarkson, Hedge-Morrell and District C Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer voted against Cantrell's amendment to Head's initial amendment.
Ultimately, the 200-foot buffer passed 6-1, with Gray voting against it.
While the majority of the discussion about amending amendments was sometimes perplexing, perhaps the most baffling was what happened to Clarkson's amendment that would have ended the pilot program if a court found any aspect of it to be against the law.
Gray instead suggested doing away with Clarkson's wording and replacing it with language that would require the council to take action within 30 days of a court finding any provision "invalid."
That, in turn, makes the council legally liable to make changes within a month of any court action. Still, the amended amendment passed 5-2, with Hedge-Morrell and Clarkson voting against it.
Amendments by Head and Clarkson to set fines, stop trucks from operating near structures used only for residential purposes and require permits to be displayed passed unanimously and with little discussion.
The new ordinance prohibits food trucks from operating in the French Quarter, which is already off limits, and the area of the Central Business District, with the boundaries including the Mississippi River, Rampart Street, Esplanade Avenue and Howard Avenue and Andrew Higgins Drive. Also off limits to the trucks is Frenchmen Street between Esplanade Avenue and Royal Street.
Permits for food trucks will cost $600 a year. When a food-truck operator applies for a permit, he or she must have commercial general liability insurance coverage of no less than $500,000.

Susan Boyle has to call officer since she saw someone intruded her house in West Lothian, make it the second time she has strangers creeping around her property.
Susan Boyle called police to her home on Tuesday, January 26 after discovering an intruder on her property. The singing star returned to her house in West Lothian, Scotland after recording her vocal for a charity cover of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" for Simon Cowell's Haiti aid appeal.
But she was stunned to discover a man inside her home - and immediately called cops who detained a suspect in connection with the incident. A police spokesperson says, "Lothian and Borders Police were called to an address in Blackburn at around 9.50pm yesterday following reports of a disturbance. A man was detained in connection with the incident and released pending further inquiries."
It's the second recent security scare for Boyle - she spotted two strangers creeping around her garden over Christmas in 2009, just weeks after her mentor Simon Cowell drafted in a bodyguard for her.

You could say London is the real home of the original Mini, the poster car of the Swinging Sixties and, although today's Minis are designed in Munich and built in Oxford, the tradition of naming special-edition models after trendy London suburbs continues.
And so, as the buzz builds up ahead of the 2012 London Olympics, here are the latest two - the trendy Baker Street and the sporty Bayswater - each of which will be available in South Africa from March 2012, at prices to be announced then.
The Baker Street will be available in South Africa only as a 90kW Mini Cooper model, with six-speed manual (standard) or six-speed auto (optional) transmission, in a special metallic grey finish with V-shaped black bonnet stripes, black roof, and glossy black mirror housings and 16" alloys, with the 'Baker Street' logo on the side scuttles framing the indicator repeaters.
The Baker Street is also listed in black or white, the latter also with a black roof.
In each case the interior is trimmed in light grey, with a diamond pattern on the upholstery, whether ordered in fabric or in leather, with grey contrast stitching and the 'Baker Street' logo on the floor mats, gear-lever and handbrake gaiters, and seat tags.
The logo is also embossed on the door sills, and the all-grey interior gets a bit of discreet twinkle with the Chrome Line trim package. Also standard is the Pepper Pack (an extra-cost option on other Mini models) M) which includes aircon, an onboard computer, a leather steering wheel, chromed exterior trim, front foglights, a lighting package and height adjustment for the front passenger seat.
Baker Street is, of course, best known as the home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, whose rooms were at No.221b. Today, the Sherlock Holmes museum and Madame Tussaud's waxworks can both be found just a stone's throw from Baker Street underground station.
As befits the extrovert, vibrant and just slightly raffish reputation of the area between the shopping hot spots of Knightsbridge and Notting Hill, the Mini Bayswater comes in a special metallic blue colour with a black roof, although you can order black or grey metallic, also with black on top.
Each has sporty stripes across the bonnets and on the mirror housings - blue on the right, grey on the left, with the 'Bayswater' logo on the side indicator surrounds.
The interior is trimmed in dark grey leather with a metallic sheen on the side bolsters, and blue and grey contrast stitching, which is also to be seen+ on the gear-lever and handbrake gaiters. The 'Bayswater' logo adorns the door sills and seat tags, and the special floor mats have dark grey edging with blue stitching. Chromed interior accents set off the gloss black trim strips
Stainless-steel pedals are standard, as is Pepper Pack, as detailed above.
Customers can order their Mini Bayswater in Cooper (90kW) or Cooper S (135 kW) format; a six-speed manual 'box is standard, a six-speed auto an option.

Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn have split up, according to the New York Post's Page Six.
Here's Hollywood's another break up, Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn.
Report on their split was first made public by Page Six, as a friend of the couple told the publication they are no longer together, saying they are "no longer romantically connected."
It is said further that Vaughn is working on "Fred Claus" in London and is alleged to have skipped to the country of Bulgaria for Thanksgiving, while Aniston reportedly spent the holiday in Los Angeles.
The paper, moreover, also reports that Vaughn traveled with pals to a Hungarian exotic dance club.
On their break up, reps for the couple tell People, "After Jennifer's trip to London several weeks ago, Jennifer and Vince mutually agreed to end their relationship, but continue to be good friends today."

Escape to the Mighty Murray River!
Twin towns Yarrawonga and Mulwala offer visitors an inland aquatic paradise that is unrivalled in Australia.

The Lake is right on your doorstep for all types of water recreation, including sailing, water skiing and fishing, and the many sports and recreation facilities are complemented with barbeque and picnic areas available in beautiful lakeside settings.
A great way to discover the hidden beauties of the lake and river is to organise a guided Kayak Tour with an accredited guide - it's an experience you'll never forget.
There's also plenty to do on land as well. The towns boast the largest (45 holes) golf course in the Southern Hemisphere, and nearby you'll also find a selection of some of Australia's best wineries - only a short drive from town are the famous wineries of Moira, Rutherglen and Milawa.
There are some fantastic parks and scenic walks in the area including Yarrawonga Regional Park where you'll find a typical redgum forest with its magnificent birdlife and statuesque trees that line the banks of the mighty Murray River.
A family favourite, the Chinaman's Island Walking Track, is where you'll see a multitude of wondrous bird life such as cockatoos, galahs, water birds, thornbills, white ibis, herons, pelicans and swans. Or make an appointment to visit Savernake Station Forest which offers an awesome 40 hectares of native vegetation which is home to over 120 bird species and a lengthening list of over 200 flora species.
You'll also find a host of delightful dining venues, together with licensed clubs with poker machines, entertainment and sporting facilities.

"The Benchmark amplifier is quieter than any other amplifier I am aware of."
"It has noise of around 110 dB down relative to 1 watt, and since it has 100 watts of power, the signal-to-noise ratio that is relevant to resolution is around 130 dB. Not quite enough for 24 bits in theory—130 dB corresponds to 21.5 bits—but in practice enough for anything."
"Each bit gives one 6.02dB of dynamic range. So 130dB of dynamic range corresponds to between 21 and 22 bits. This means that the amplifier is very unlikely to be a limiting factor in terms of signal-to-noise ratio—or equivalently, resolution."
"Do you hear noise from your speakers when there is no signal present? If not, making your amplifier quieter will not make any difference."
"But if you have for instance very high sensitivity speakers so that one watt is going to correspond to a lot of sound (e.g., over 100 dB for Klipschorns), and you are not going to go beyond that one watt very often, then the quietness of the Benchmark, of noise being 110 dB down from one watt, may come into play more emphatically."
"Most amplifier manufacturers give noise down from full output level, typically something like 110 dB down. If an amp has 100 watts, that is 20 dB above one watt, then the amount by which noise is down from one watt is maybe only 90 dB. So with a speaker with 100 dB sensitivity will put out 10 dB of noise. K-horns usually hiss a little at you when they are not playing if they are fastened up to a turned-on amplifier."
"In any case, no matter what kind of speakers you have, you are going to find the Benchmark dead quiet."
"The Benchmark also has extremely low distortion—among the lowest around and surely far below known thresholds."
"The Benchmark can be used in bridged mode, to give 400 watts into 8 ohms (actually 380W is specified). That ought to be enough for most applications except in extremely large rooms."
"The Benchmark AHB2 amplifier is a technical tour de force without any question."
- Robert E. Green, The Absolute Sound, April 2016

WASHINGTON (Nov. 7)
The United States was urged today to provide a policy of insurance for Israel and all other Middle East nations ready to negotiate a peace treaty, which would include a security guarantee and sufficient arms for defense against attack. The appeal was made by Philip M. Klutznick, world president of B'nai B'rith, speaking at the meeting of the B'nai B'riths Board of Governors, now taking place here.
"The great Western powers," Mr. Klutznick said, "must provide a policy of insurance to the nations of the Middle East who desist from an arms race and who are prepared to face up and negotiate peace and tranquility. The only way open is to guarantee and secure the borders of such enlightened nations. The fact that one nation would be Israel should not make such a policy less desirable but more desirable. It is an essential concomitant of such a policy that the Western powers must prepare any nation that is willing to hazard its existence by joining in this campaign for peace by supplying these essential armaments to defend itself if attacked." The B'nai B'rith leader expressed confidence that the U.S. would not "stand idly by and permit Israel to be destroyed."

Boo, too
This pattern is available for free.
From Knitty article:
There once was a kiddo sweater called Boo.
A bunch of grown-up girlies said "Me, too, me, too".
Let's cheer for the nipped waist and vertical stripes that give it sass,
But do, please, hold your comments about the ruffles framing my big fat ass!
Two colors of Noro Silk Garden and a 2x2 slip stitch transform chunks of horizontal color into an intriguing vertical pattern. The ruffles, as always, are just for fun.
The slip stitch pattern makes a heavy-ish coat-weight fabric. This is not a pattern for my pals in South Texas; sorry, gals.

Can a win before taking the road salvage an average week? Maybe, but the Dodgers (35-44) are still seeking a prolonged winning streak after rallying for a 3-2 inter-league victory over the Angels last Sunday at the Stadium.
Tony Gwynn Jr., who had three hits and two runs batted in, laced a single to right in the ninth inning that pushed across the game-winner, and Clayton Kershaw went the distance while striking out 11 and walking none.
Aaron Miles lofted a sacrifice fly that scored Dee Gordon with the tying run. This will be debated because replays showed catcher Jeff Mathis blocking his path and Gordon never touching the plate.
Kershaw (8-3) was reached for six hits and two runs (earned), while his Angels' counterpart Jered Weaver worked seven innings with no decision, as he gave up seven hits, one run (earned) with four strikeouts and one walk.
The Dodgers fell behind and never recovered as they lost 6-1 to the Angels on Saturday.
Vernon Wells roped a three-run homer in the eighth, and Mark Trumbo smacked a solo shot in the fourth to support Tyler Chatwood (5-4), who whiffed five with three walks and four hits in seven innings.
A.J. Ellis walked with the bases loaded in the fifth, and James Loney and Miles each had two hits.
Dan Haren (7-5) scattered 10 hits with three strikeouts, one walk and three runs (earned) over six innings in an Angels' 8-3 triumph on Friday.
At the plate, Erick Aybar (three hits with a homer) scored two and drove in two.
The Dodgers took a 2-0 lead in the first when Matt Kemp clouted his 21st homer.
Rubby De La Rosa (3-2) allowed nine hits, five runs (earned) and fanned six with four walks in six frames.
Miguel Cabrera and Magglio Ordonez blasted homers and had two RBIs in Detroit's 7-5 win on Wednesday as Ted Lilly (5-7) was battered for six runs (earned) in four and two-third innings.
Chad Billingsley (6-6) was sharp during Tuesday's 6-1 win against the Tigers. In five and one-third innings, he struck out six, walked two, with six hits and one run (earned).
Andre Ethier hit a two-run homer and Miles (two hits) scored twice.
Kershaw tossed a two-hit, complete-game 4-0 shutout with 11 strikeouts and one walk against Detroit on Monday, and Juan Uribe (single and homer) along with Loney (three hits) supplied the offensive punch.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/9/2012 (1799 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
IT may have been a foregone conclusion, but the NHL has cancelled all pre-season games to the end of September.
That decision kills four exhibition games featuring the Winnipeg Jets:
-- Monday, Sept. 24 -- Jets @ Edmonton
-- Tuesday, Sept. 25 -- Edmonton @ Jets
-- Saturday, Sept. 29 -- Jets @ Boston (Saskatoon)
-- Sunday, Sept. 30 -- Boston @ Jets
Among the other fans sure to be affected are those in the township of Stirling-Rawdon in Ontario, just north of Belleville. It was the winner of the annual Kraft Hockeyville contest and was to host an Oct. 3 game between Toronto and Columbus. The game, which was to be held in Belleville to accommodate more fans, will now be scheduled for next October.
"I've been talking about this for a month. What a kick in the pants it is," Belleville Mayor Rodney Cooney told the Ottawa Ciitzen. "It is pretty bad. You win it and something like this happens.
"But at the end of the day we'll have the game. We'll just have to wait for a year."
JETS GRAB ANOTHER PICK: The Jets have further beefed up their position for the 2013 NHL draft, having gained yet another second-round selection -- a compensatory pick for not being able to sign 2008 Atlanta first-round choice (29th overall) Daultan Leveille.
A centre who played four seasons at Michigan State, Leveille signed an AHL contract in the Montreal organization this week. If an NHL team loses its rights to a first-round draft choice, either because he has not signed or became an unrestricted free agent, they are awarded an extra pick that is the same numerical choice as in the first rounder, but in the second round.
In the Jets' case, because Leveille was picked 29th overall, they'll now have the 29th pick in the second round in 2013.
As of today, that gives the Jets six picks in the draft's first three rounds next June --their own first, their own second, Chicago's second (the Johnny Oduya trade), the compensatory pick in the second, their own third and Chicago's third (Oduya).

You might remember the name FreedomPop from earlier stories that we wrote detailing the carrier's attempt to provide low cost wireless service to consumers. One of the ways that it hoped to do so was with a sleeve that would be slipped on an Apple iPod touch, turning that device into a 4G phone using service from WiMax and apps like Skype. FreedomPop, which offers the sleeve for $99, says that it has been held up in the FCC approval process forcing the company to delay shipping it out. Those who have pre-ordered the sleeve are being given the opportunity to replace it with a FreedomPop Photon mobile hotspot with 2GB of free data and the possibility of receiving a free sleeve down the road.
With the sleeve, FreedomPop offers 500MB of free 4G data each month. That can be increased to 2GB of data priced at $17.99 a month. The company charges for all sorts of add-ons such as the $3.49 it bills to rollover your unused data at the end of each billing cycle. In addition, there are overage charges as well as a charge for a service that alerts you when you are about to exceed your data cap.
Later this summer, Freedom Pop will be offering its service to Android users with a plan for what it calls "the most popular Android smartphones." The service will include 500MB of free 4G data each month, 200 voice minutes and unlimited text messages. Calls between FreedomPop users will be free.
Meanwhile, still delayed by the FCC is a case for the Apple iPhone 4 and Apple iPhone 4S that provides 4G service to both models. The hold up appears to deal with the WiMax radio in the case that runs over the radio inside the iPhone models.

SOUTH Lakeland District Council has warned the public to be aware of what taxis they get in over the festive period.
It has issued a series of tips for staying safe because it says some members of the public may not know the difference between licensed and unlicensed vehicles.
The authority says Hackney Carriage (or taxis) and Private Hire Vehicles give 'a degree of protection' because vehicles and drivers must meet suitability criteria.
These include standards for vehicles and a criminal record and health check for drivers, before being licensed.
Hackney carriages are the only vehicle authorised for hire on the streets, said the council.
These are often vehicles parked in taxi ranks, which the council says should all display the following:
• Rear plate (white) - which shows a serial number, registration number, type of vehicle, expiry date and seating capacity, of the vehicle.
• Door signs – these display the vehicle's serial number.
• Roof sign – this is generally an illuminated sign 'taxi'.
• Internal badge – displays the serial number and seating capacity.
• Internal driver ID badge – the driver's ID badge will be on display this shows a photograph of the driver, name, serial number and expiry date.
• A taxi meter will also be fitted inside the vehicle, which the driver must operate for the duration of the journey.
The council says private hire vehicles are not authorised to pick up passengers unless a prior booking has been made with the company operating the vehicle.
It says
* They will not have a roof sign and will also have
• Rear plate (green) – which shows a serial number, registration number, type of vehicle, expiry date and seating capacity.
• Door signs – these display the vehicle's serial number. They will also say 'pre-booked journeys only'.
• Internal driver ID badge – the drivers ID badge will be on display which shows a photograph of the driver, name, serial number and expiry date.
The council said the public should be aware that if they are approached by someone in the street offering a taxi or private hire vehicle journey they should 'ignore them as touting is an offence'.
SLDC says it is important that people check that the taxi or private hire vehicle that arrives is the one that they ordered.
It suggests they ask for a description of the car: colour, make, etc and check this when it arrives.
They also say it is useful for customers to ask for the name of the driver beforehand and make a note of the company used, their telephone details and if possible, leave the details with someone else.
They suggest if travelling alone to sit behind the driver in the back seat.
The council guidance suggests that when customers reach their destination, they should ask the driver to wait until they are safely inside.
They say if someone feels uneasy, they should ask to be let out in a well-lit area where there are plenty of people.
The council added that if in any doubt, they should make an excuse and not get in the vehicle.
SLDC said the safety and security of drivers is important too and that they 'should be treated with respect,' and people should make sure that they have money left at the end of the night to pay the fare.
SLDC's public protection manager Phil Greenup, said: "The council works with the taxi and private hire trade to ensure that the drivers and vehicles are safe and suitable. People in South Lakeland should feel safe when using taxis during the festive period and these tips will help them to ensure they get home safely at the end of what has hopefully been a good night."
If anyone has any problems regarding a vehicle or driver, they should obtain the licence number, registration or driver badge ID.
Complaints can be submitted to South Lakeland District Council Licensing Office at South Lakeland House, Lowther Street, Kendal, LA9 4UD.
Telephone: 0845 0504 434 or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com

The staff spoke fantastic English and were more then happy to help out with any enquiries we had. They helped by writing addresses and short statements in Chinese to aide us in our travels. They also purchased our train tickets for the next place. The bar had a friendly, relaxed feel to it and there we tours available from the desk. There is a shopping centre and take away places across the road and Wada is a short walk from the train station. Room was clean simple and had multi-national plugs.

A separate common room not in the bar would be good. You felt compelled to purchase drinks if you were in there. It was difficult to figure out where it was, as we arrived at 1am, and were directed down a dark alley. Once located it was a prime position. The staff were so helpful and book all manner of things for us, train tickets and tours.

I always like to keep an eye on the macro brewery packaging, and today we have two interesting packages from Anheuser Busch. Up first we have Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat Belgian-style wheat ale brewed with pumpkin & spices. This 12oz 5.2% brew actually had one label surrendered and one approved all in the same day.
The other interesting item today is that several versions of Shock Top Belgian White were approved, the most notable is the CAN label (below). Yep that's right Shock Top cans in 12 and 16oz.

Fashion Week in Milan. Collection Versace Spring-Summer 2014
It's time to free yourself from all kinds of stereotypes regarding the elegance, beauty and style. At the very least, Donatella Versace trying to do this through its new collection of liberal Versace Spring-Summer 2014, presented at the Milan Fashion Week (Milan Fashion Week). According to the designer – it frees womanVersace . "Usually, we offer women clothes that are very tight to the body, but this time it is much more languid – she caresses the body," – commented on his collection by Donatella Versace. It also gives women more creativity and self-confidence. A new collection of Versace Spring-Summer 2014 is inspired by street style and an endless variety of options where you can see every minute detail, similar to the podium. Strong challenge street style is evident in the collection, from the very first exit – denim jacket with lurex combined with flared skirt raffia indigo. Ordinary and comfortable fabric: denim, tulle, raffia, organza, chiffon, leather, vinyl, silk, metal mesh, and embroidered, embossed and printed fabrics used designer can form images of carefree.A classic black and white, monochrome white and some blue hues help create a festive mood and make everyday clothes more elegant, for those who just want to enjoy yourself and enjoy life every second.
Despite the fact that the collection of Versace Spring-Summer 2014 is made in a casual street style, the designer has added to her glamor and luxury through transparent fabrics, abstract prints, metallic luster and original decor. For example, transparent shirt, combined with tight black skirts – not a bad idea for the office dress code, and tight pants complete with free black shirts are perfect for an evening stroll around the city.Fine leather jackets, shorts and pencil skirts with strategic cuts, the designer proposes to add tops of the binding bands and wide leather belts with metal buckles branded with the image of Medusa Versace. A more romantic part of the collection are short dresses made of corrugated tulle, colorful maxi-shirts and chiffon mini dress with floral motifs that are repeated on t-shirts. Here, the designer added a bit of color, using neon yellow, purple, blue and green hues. Some gloss silver she put on metal mesh, cut triangles and acting as necklaces, as well as evening gowns and chains that decorate many outfits.
Special attention in the collection of Versace Spring-Summer 2014 deserve products made of thin colored leather with embossed elements in a floral motif. For these things the designer has used soft pastel shades such as lilac and pale blue. Leather skirts, jackets, shorts, bomber jackets and tops, padded chains, looked like a rock 'n' Roll outfits, others – with floral embossed, on the contrary, very restrained and elegant. Very attractive in the new Versace collection were beautiful white ensembles consisting of translucent flared skirts combined with jackets or tops. Evening gowns, represented in the collection, were also dazzling and amazingly, many of them are worthy of the red carpet. Flowing fabrics, asymmetrical lines, deep cuts, beautiful draperies, exquisite lace neckline and clear parts that expose the body – these elements form the basis of luxury evening dresses from Donatella Versace. It is worth noting that in his collection VersaceSpring-Summer 2014 designer wanted to give the status of the usual things of luxury, and it is clearly possible. One thing is clear – Donatella Versace can create extravagant outfits of the most common shapes and fabrics – it's a truly great talent.

BUSINESSES across Highworth will be 'Rocking Up In Red' to beat the country's single biggest killer today.
The event, which raises vital funds for the British Heart Foundation in National Heart Month, will see members of the public organising get-togethers and rallying co-workers, friends and family to pay £2 and join the fight against heart disease.
Staff at RED Virtual Office in the High Street is supporting the cause by organising other businesses in Highworth to join in the good work.
Karen Thurley, director of business development at RED, said: "How could we not be involved? We rock up in red every day.
"My father-in-law had a heart attack a few years ago and thankfully recovered. If it hadn't been for the research that the charity funds, then he may not have.
"Together with all Highworth businesses we hope to raise a substantial amount for the nation's heart charity in National Heart Month, helping them to continue their vital, life-saving work.
"It's been incredibly easy to co-ordinate and promises to be fun for all involved."
Swimming club Swindon Dolphin will also be getting involved in the day.
The event has extra significance for masters swimmer Jim Burnett, who suffered a heart attack last year during a training session but survived after receiving care from the Milton Road staff and the club's first aid trained coaches, as well as Steve Brain, who is a parent of one of the children at the club and is a paramedic.
As well as administering CPR, the Health Hydro's automated external defibrillator was used and Jim was taken to Frenchay in Bristol for specialist treatment.
After several weeks in intensive care, he is on the way to recovery and has been back to the pool, although not to swim. Jim and Steve will meet at the pool today and Swindon Dolphin is keen to promote Rock Up In Red and the need for AED units at leisure centres.
There are more than 2.7 million people in the UK suffering with heart disease.
The condition kills one in six men and one in nine women and is responsible for almost 80,000 deaths in the UK each year, an average of 220 people each day.
British Heart Foundation fund-raising director Louise Parkes said: "This is a great opportunity for everyone to think about their own hearts and the hearts of those around them. We offer our heartfelt thanks to RED and other Highworth Businesses for so generously dedicating their time and energy to help us continue our fight for every heartbeat."

The win extended the Big Ten champion's unbeaten streak to 14 games -- the longest of any team left in the NCAA Tournament.
Balc converted a penalty kick after junior Geoff Marsh was dragged down in the penalty area. Marsh made it 2-0 in the 63rd minute, Balc added a second goal in the 65th, and sophomore Andrew Magill completed the rout in the 70th minute.
Bradley, which overcame the tragic death of redshirt freshman Danny Dahlquist a day before preseason practice started, ended its season with a 16-6-4 record, setting a program record for wins.
"Today was tough," said Bradley coach Jim DeRose. "Trying to put the loss into perspective is hard. I'll be a part of more wins and losses in my career, but I'll never be a part of something as special as this season was for our team."

Daniel Bordman
b.4 Aug 1658 Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, United States
d.20 Feb 1724/25 Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, United States
Family tree▼
m. abt 1641
m. 8 Jun 1683
Facts and Events
His Life in Wethersfield
The following is a synopsis of information presented in The Boardman Genealogy, pp. 198-99.
For a few years after his marriage, Daniel Bordman occupied a portion of his father-in-law's home lot, situated on the west side of Rose Lane in Wethersfield, a short distance below the church. In 1685 he obtained from his brother-in-law Samuel Wright, Jr., 25 acres in the West Field, where he built a dwelling house and afterward lived. This lot fronted on the "Path to the Mill" or Mud Lane as it was called in 1895.
Daniel held several public offices in Wethersfield. He was elected Selectman, Collector, Surveyor, and member of the School Committee, and held the minor positions of Fence Viewer and Sheep Master.
Family tradition that he was a glazier by trade (as was his son Israel after him), is confirmed by the tools in the inventory of his estate.

Hi! I have a batch of images, about 100 in total, and would like to crop them from the center and resize. I've been using Automotar on my mac to do functions like renaming files and converting image types and I'm certain I can also crop a batch of images. The problem is when I do this with PNG files that have a transparent background the final outputted images no longer retains the transparency.
So I have a group of images that look similar to this:
And after running the Workflow that crops the images I get something like this:
Just wondering if anyone has had the same issue or would know how to solve this so that I can crop a batch of transparent PNG files and retain the transparency?
You can try Imagemagick - I belive you can install it on a mac.
Have you considered creating a droplet?If the cropping is not particularly "smart" , that is if all you are dong is trimming the unused transparent area, then you could just do a PS Action that that trims and saves ( since the save is saved int he same format as the file.. you should not have any issues. After you create the action you can creat a droplet from it, that way you dont have to repeat it 100 times!
Aside from that , I would suggest checking your matte settings.
Thanks for the tips. It turned out that I had to do some other edits to the images so I decided to use After Effects - also worked well for exporting the TIFFs as a PNG sequence.
