How to Connect Nokia Phones to Puppy
Subject description: Starting point for phone tools file exchange etc.
The last time I tried to try something with my Nokia phone I realized a lack of a "starting point" threads on using Nokias with puppy.
This thread aims to pool the knowledge from many "I need help with my model 1234 nokia" threads.
..and hopefully provide a starting point for beginners and experts alike
trying to do stuff with Nokias and Puppy together.
I am no expert -but hopefully enough Nokia-Puppy users will jump on the bandwagon and add corrections and experience to this thread and make the whole process a little less confusing for newbies.
First the principles
1. Serial Cable
This is for older phones and perhaps the least problematic.
Usually no special drivers are needed- the hard work is in getting
the software setup right to read the correct serial "tty" port (i.e. gnokii's .gnokiirc file).
2. USB cables
Older phones using DKU5 cables often are really a usb to serial cable in
You may have to find out the converter chip type built into the cable and
activate it at the modprobe level
Example - For a third party DKU5 cable using an Ark3116 chip
modprobe usbserial vendor=0×6547 product=0×0232
modprobe ark3116
Note: when using Gnokii the .gnokkirc configuration file will need this in it:
port = /dev/ttyUSB0
Newer USB cables may be a lot easier. I haven't tried it but I need some feedback to prove it.
3. Infrared
I haven't tried this but I think it is a little problematic
4. Bluetooth
Note: 13-March 2010
The bluetooth method needs to be updated as it appears the hci-usb module is not in Puppy 4.31 and higher.
This link is sort of the new cutting edge for puppy and bluetooth
What follows is the old stuff which may still be useful
Either built in or usb dongle bluetooth is possible.
There are some perculiar tricks.
This thread should get you going..
In essence get your bluetooth working and communicating with the phone before you try any programs.
Using a startup script helps. In the above mentioned thread I have two Xdialog based scripts that may get you going.
Once you have installed the .pets for BlueZ, Dbus and Obex (you can find them in the thread above), then the following script could work. I've commented it for understanding:
rm /var/run/dbus/dbus.pid #delete the lockout for dbus if it was left behind from a bad shutdown
dbus-daemon --system #start the dbus system
hcid #start the hci stuff
modprobe rfcomm #get the rfcomm bit going
modprobe hci-usb #need this as I have a usb bluetooth adapter
hciconfig hci0 up #wake it up
hciconfig # not sure but you need this line somehow
passkey-agent --default 123 & #allow a 123 password to connect with the phone
Then you can either start an rfcomm connection to allow use of programs like Gnokii and access phone specific stuff like sms or contacts:
hcitool cc 00:15:2A:20:7E:41 # replace the numbers with your phone's MAC - use hcitool scan to find it
echo Check your phone now and acknowledge link
rfcomm connect 0 00:15:2A:20:7E:41 1 #connect to chn1 makeport /dev/rfcomm0 - usual for Nokias
Or use Obex to mount an Obex file system and then view it with Rox - great for simple copying of photos, music, etc.
obexftp -b 00:15:2A:20:7E:41 -l #replace the number with your phone's MAC
obexfs -b 00:15:2A:20:7E:41 -B 10 /mnt/bluetooth #again, replace the MAC - the 10 is the channel number - most Nokias use 10 for obex
rox /mnt/bluetooth/ # open up the folder and have a look
As far as I know there is no Linux version of Nokia PC Suite. Fortunately there are programs that do some of the tasks of it and in many cases much much faster than PC Suite in Winblows.
Gnokii and Xgnokii
are my favourites and puppy friendly
While an older version as a .pup exists at dotpups.de, a more recent version is available from slackware
Convert it to a .pet using:
tgz2pet gnokii-0.6.27-i486-1sl.tgz
It needs a few extra libraries - use the same trick
I orignially used this library - but the link is now dead
Aarf suggested this link
With Gnokii you can send sms, copy and export sms, work your calendar and contacts.
Note - as far as I can try it has difficulties uploading contacts with more than one number per name to the phone
The hardest part is the configuration script .gnokiirc that lives in your root folder.
The homepage for gnokii is quite good, and heaps of threads for other distros usually help.
Best to try and find an example script for you phone from the above site or google it, make small modifications
and then test if it works with
gnokii --identify
If you get good feedback then you are ready for other features of xgnokii or gnokii
Note: The xgnokki icons may not show up in your menus on all versions of puppy.
Make sure xgnokii.desktop is in usr/share/applications and when you open it with a text editor and check if it has a valid category like "calendar".
Also through my experience Xgnokii is great, but for real power use use gnokii at the command line
Wammu is the gui frontend for gammu.
I have compiled both and made a .pet - but still need someone to host it
- It needs wx-python and the entire picture is a little mb heavy for me
It looks good, more along the PC suite lines but it is actually quite buggy.
I would recommend either waiting till it gets better or use it and help the developers with lots of good error
Similar to gnokii, get gammu configured at the command line before using wammu. Wammu's inbuilt autoconfiguration is unreliable, but if the .gammurc file works for your phone, wammu will notice it.
Gammu has its own configuration utility to make it easier. (check the website for the command)
To test your configuration:
gammu --identify
Other software
There are a few other programs out there, usually spinoffs from gnokii
Try them and add comments if you like.
Nokia Phone as a Modem
I have not tried this but others have. Puppy 4.1 apparently has some new wizard features for doing such things.
It seems from my limited knowledge if you can get the connection to the phone to work (usb, usb.serial, bluetooth) then you may be in a good position to do the rest. Unfortunately I don't have a clear step by step on the principles.
In essence to do it the right modprobe commands need to be set to make you phone work as device:
And then wvdial.conf has to be set up right
Perhaps someone who has done it can post something clear and easy to understand. Until then here are some links to get you started:
Rebellioschicken got a 5310 to work
He said
i simply used Connection-Wizzard.pet found here:
Modem recognized as /dev/ttyACM0, ISP is Irish O2.
For GPRS EDGE CDMA modems some work has been done.
HairyWill did it with Nokia 6230i and a DKU2 usb cable
This post is also good
Some good work has been done here
Someone got a nokia 6600 to work as a usb modem using umtsmon:
If you can read spanish, a N70 was connected. If you cannot then look at the scripts:
Other links
This is a great stop to find out settings and ideas from other distros
And for hard to find threads use

there is an obex tool in ubuntu that does some good phone related things (so i have read). maybe try getting obex tool into upup. (attempted but never found the persistence to actually get there myself.)
else some new things here to me. one day i will get this to work and then i can dump my nokia phone forever. now it is a daunting task to manually transfer over all the info to a new non-nokia phone. my ca42 cable seems to have been blacklisted by XP because it wont now work there on any of the many machines i have tried. refuse to even see the previously see-able driver so I cant use PCsuite any more.
still can and often use the CA42 cable for gprs connect in puppy though. no, there is no removable SDcard on my phone. no bluetooth, and infra red has never work from the absolute beginning.

Has anybody used Upup and confirmed it to work with obex?
I am too newbie so most of the Dpup and Upup crash when I go to their repository and then try to pupsave it after install. I am not experienced enough to get it working.
I maybe buy Nokia N900 eventually so would be cool to be able to use it in linux too.
It already have a version of linux on it. Maemo which will update to Megoo linux later. Meego or Megoo? = Maemo + Moblin.

Thanks again aarf for the link.
I've noted it in the first post until I can update the information
Looks like everything in bluetooth needs overhauling in newer Puppies due to changes in how the kernel operates, what modules are available etc.

Some work has been done lately with Lucid Puppy to get bluetooth going.
It appears with some installs and tweaking it will work in 5.2. 5.28 is still looking like it needs some work but it looks promising.
The thread cross linked here below is a bit messy but its full of gold and some hard work by other forum members.
I'm going to try it myself and one day come up with something simple to install. In the meantime I have to revert to an older puppy to get stuff off my phone. It worked well back then.

Post subject: How to Connect Nokia Phones to Puppy
Here's how I did it for nokia 6555b and nokia 6350
Adapter cable is required with usb connector on one end and phone adapter on other. Mine is Nokia Type CA-101.
Plug cable to phone and PC
On phone
Open Settings Menu
Select Connectivity
Select USB Data Cable
Select Data storage
STOP at this point on phone
Go to Pc and mount USB device
Pictures are in folder = images
You can copy from/to this folder
When you are finished, UNMOUNT USB device on PC first.
Then press back button on the phone which disconnects phone from PC..
My wife has a Nokia model 6350
Steps are same as above. Only difference is where 6355 uses Data Storage, the 6350 uses Data Select.
Finding answer to this question, will allow me to basically retire my windows XP machine

Thanks I have to test this. Lost internet three times now for hours.
So would be cool to be able to use the ordinary computer and the smart phone as a modem and get internet that way.
pemasu sorry I missed the joke. Nokia is connecting people to M$ Microsoft Windows 8 maybe
or to Meego but that is kind of too late?
The N9 is suppose to be Meego but not many care do they. Kind of sad that Meego was that late coming out so it failed to get popular.

majorfoo that worked well for me on Nokia.
Now I get curious on if I can use it as a modem but realize that teh operator charge much money for using it so I will do it on my android instead. That one is only 3SEK per day in cost.

They ask for jail time for Cesar Armando Librado Legorreta The Flirty
After the recapture of offenders, the Mexican governor, Eruviel Avila said he expects the suspected serial murderer is sentenced to life in prison
MEXICO CITY, March 4. – The Governor of the State of Mexico, Eruviel Villegas Avila, requested life in prison for Cesar Armando Librado Legorreta, The Cozy, who was recaptured yesterday.
"I hope that local and federal courts will allow us to be the first to punish a criminal with a life sentence in the State of Mexico is the least we can ask for this criminal," said Avila.
In a video message just under two minutes, standing on his Twitter account, Avila Villegas said multihomicida arrest, accused of killing seven women in the State of Mexico and one in Mexico City, shows that the entity " no impunity and go after the criminals, whoever they are. "
The governor said he offered to families of victims to go with all the force of law "and we're showing."
Avila said that the matter does not end with the recapture of femenicida, but are on the trail of the police allowed them to flee, "through negligence or corruption or whatever it was, we do also pay for this responsibility and this lack, "he said.
Finally, the Mexican governor congratulated the Attorney General of the State of Mexico, Alfredo Castillo, and his staff, "given his experience and intelligence enabled them to relearn the femicide".
Possible for life imprisonment?
In announcing the details of the recapture of former minibus driver, the owner of the Attorney General of the State of Mexico (PGJEM), Alfredo Castillo, said that local law reforms recently approved, allow the authority judicial imposition of life in prison for the crime of femicide.
"In this administration passed a law reform under which the Attorney General may request the judicial imposition of prison life by the femicides," said the official.
Castillo explained, in a press conference that the rearrest of The Cosy was conducted in a residential colony of Malinche, in Magdalena Contreras, DF.
The home is owned by a relative of the alleged femicide, who was cornered by a police operation implemented on site.
Librado Legorreta was delivered, he argued that he was injured and required medical attention.
Later he confessed that he escaped PGJEM facilities in Tlalnepantla, by jumping out a window of the office where he was sheltered.
He was injured when he fell, but managed to reach the homes of his relatives and had the support of several people who he told that he was fleeing a kidnapping.
Castillo said the alleged femicide, at the time of his capture, was shaved and had injuries to his right foot and lumbar spine, all he said, was the injuries were caused by the fall in his escape.
The Cosy was taken to hospital Doctor Nicholas St. John, in Toluca.
Librado Legorreta will undergo medical evaluation to determine if you are able to be admitted to the Prison or be available to the judge in the same hospital.
The Attorney General of the DF (PGJDF) arrested the alleged leaders of the criminal organization Hand-eyed, Marco Antonio Hernandez Garcia, Commander, and John Arthur Casas Rodriguez, The Holiday.
A criminal court judge granted the injunction for 30 days against both individuals and for the four individuals that were arrested.
Early yesterday morning elements Panel Response and Intervention (GERI) of the Police Research, the Center moved to the rootedness of the delegation PGJDF Azcapotzalco located north of Mexico City.
Five days of flight
Cesar Armando Librado Legorreta was arrested for the first time on 23 February by police ministerial Attorney General of the State of Mexico (PGJEM), although the State of Mexico authorities announced their detention until 27 February.
That same day, The Cosy , allegedly responsible for raping eight women, seven in the State of Mexico and one in the Federal District and of killing seven of his victims, yet he managed to escape with handcuffs and shackles on the feet.
The Cozy worked as a driver of a minibus with identification number 066, of Route 2 in the State of Mexico, which covered the course in Golden Valley Metro Chapultepec.
According to the modus operandi revealed by the Attorney Mexico State, the microbusero selected his victims when they came to his unit and addressed when left alone.
Through deceit, the serial murderer earned their trust and cheating to deflect the path of the minibus and sexually abusing them.
Criminal history:
– In June 2010, committed his first rape. His victim survived the attack.
– One year after violating and murdering two women, one in Tlalnepantla and one in Cuauhtemoc.
– The November 26, attacks Delia White, whose body is left in Cuautitlan Izcalli.
– The body of Fidelia Ayala was found Dec. 25, in Lake Guadalupe.
– On December 31, a young woman was discovered 18 dead in Mexico-Queretaro highway: it was his sixth victim.
– On January 18, he met Patricia Briano, his last victim.
– On February 23, Edomex ministerial agents are stopped.
– On February 27, disclosed his capture and escape the same day.

Ask Dan Pompei: The Ron Turner version
Bears fans will have to "suffer" with offensive coordinator Ron Turner at least until the end of the season. And then they will have to "suffer" with another play-caller who probably won't be able to satisfy them. Bears fans have been griping about the offensive coordinator since I have been covering the team, starting in 1985 with Ed Hughes.
To say that Kyle Orton's success in Denver reflects poorly on Turner is not fair. If you remember, Orton had a 21-12 record as a starter under Turner (15-2 at home)--so he was pretty good in Chicago, too. Give Turner some credit for that.
Orton has not won games singlehandedly in Denver, just as he didn't very often in Chicago. But he is in a system that might fit him better than the system he was in with the Bears. Orton also is a more mature quarterback now; he has been through virtually every situation and has a better feel for playing the position. He should be playing the best football of his life, and he is.
Dan, what has Ron Turner got against running some plays on the outside rather than most of the time in the middle? --Tony Di Viesti, Park Ridge
Of the Bears' 119 rushes this year, 45 percent have been behind a tackle or further out. They are not just running up the middle repeatedly. But any good running team has to mix up the runs in different gaps and has to have a good chunk of runs between the tackles to keep defenses honest.
Is the Bear's offensive line relatively weak? There doesn't seem to be a lot of "chatter" on the O-line issue, but I have thought that all year and Sunday, to me, that was the real difference in the game, mistakes aside. --Gary Funk
The offensive line is average, like most offensive lines in the league. There aren't many great ones anymore. The pretty good ones, in no particular order, are the Giants, Jets, Vikings, Dolphins, Patriots, Ravens, Titans, Colts, Broncos, Falcons and Cowboys. The Bears need to get their line in that group.
I'll be making my annual trip to Chicago for the Nov. 1 Bears-Browns game. I hope to see Josh Beekman starting at left guard for the Bears that weekend, given Frank Omiyale's up and down play. Do you think it's time for a change at left guard? --Greg Brady, Windsor, Conn.
If I were Lovie Smith, I probably would give Omiyale another chance to prove himself. He played very well against the Lions. Let's see if the Falcons game was an aberration, or if the Lions game was. And I'd probably give Josh Beekman a couple of series at left guard just to see how he does.
Dan, nice article today on your break-down analysis of the two fumbles. I also like the statistic of Forte getting hit in the backfield 40 percent of the time. It's points like this that help me understand what's going on with my Bears. Keep up the good analysis.
I assume you have access to watch the game films to break things down for us like you did in your article. How does Olin Kreutz grade out so far? I know he's getting older and it seems like I don't see his impact as much this year. Has that been a case of him having to play a couple 3-4 teams where he has a nose tackle on top of him, or are the Bears not pulling him for lead blocks as much? Do you still consider Olin one of the Top 10 centers in the NFL? --Jeff Cummings, Ann Arbor, Mich.
Thanks for your kind words Jeff. I didn't think Kreutz played a great game against the Falcons. He was caught off balance a couple of times and was beaten by defenders on a couple of the plays in which Matt Forte lost yardage. But overall, I think he's been very good this year. I think he has been the Bears' best offensive lineman and he is definitely one of the top 10 centers in the league--as long as he doesn't have too many more games like he did Sunday.
Hey Dan, is there any particular time of year or particular date or games in which the Bears wear their alternate orange jerseys? Do they wear them more than once a year? and if they do make it make it to the playoff (which I have no doubt) will they wear it or have they ever worn them in the postseason before. --Wally Colón, Bear fan Orlando,Fla. (lived in Lisle and Evanston in the '80s)
They will wear their orange jersey against the Browns on Nov. 1. It will be the fifth straight year they will wear the jersey for one game. They are 3-1 in orange, losing only to the Lions in 2007. They have never worn them in a postseason game.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says tens of thousands of injuries and a few deaths occur each year from an unexpected hazard: heavy furniture tipping over on kids. Now the CPSC and safety advocates are calling on manufacturers to make furniture more stable. They're also asking parents to educate themselves on this hidden danger.
Plus: 15+ Babyproofing Products
In 2010, the most recent year that statistics are available, tippy furniture sent about 23,600 people (the highest number since 2006) to emergency rooms, most of them kids under 10. Around 300 deaths occurred between 2000 and 2010.
The current voluntary safety standard is that dressers and chests must remain stable when the drawers are open and a 50-lb weight is placed on top (meant to simulate a 5-year-old). Tip restraints that attach the piece to the wall are also supposed to be included. However, now safety advocates are questioning if stricter, mandatory guidelines should be put in place since many manufacturers don't comply with these standards. Also adding to the problem: a recent phone survey found only 36 percent of parents with kids under age 6 take steps to anchor their TV and furniture.
Plus: Safety Mistakes Even Good Parents Make
Is this a hazard that worries you? Have you taken steps to stabilize your furniture? Leave a comment.

The Flyers signed three players on Tuesday, but they weren't the marquee names that are on the free-agent market.
Instead, they were minor leaguers.
The three players - forward Mike Testwuide, and defensemen Danny Syvret and Cullen Eddy -figure to play with the Flyers' AHL farm team, the Adirondack Phantoms, this season.
Meanwhile, in Day 3 of free-agency, left winger Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter still have not signed. Both stars have hefty offers from the Flyers, among many other suitors.
Parise told the Minneapolis Star Tribune there was no timetable for his decision, which, he said, was about "so much more than the money. That plays a very small part in it."
He also labeled the process as "stressful" - some took that to mean he was feeling bad about possibly leaving New Jersey - and that it was "much harder" than he had anticipated.
Testwuide, 25, a Colorado native, has recorded 30 goals and 38 assists in 142 games with the Phantoms over the last two seasons.
Eddy, 23, split the last two seasons with the Phantoms and the Flyers' ECHL affiliate, Greenville. In 54 games with the Phantoms last season, he had two goals, 13 assists and 130 penalty minutes.
Syvret, 27, returns for his third tour with the Flyers' organization. Last season, he had seven goals and 35 assists for Peoria, the St. Louis Blues' AHL affiliate.
In 27 career games with the Flyers, Syvret had two goals, including his first career tally in the 2010 Winter Classic in Boston.
Jagr to Dallas. Free-agent right winger Jaromir Jagr, who had 19 goals and 54 points with the Flyers last season, is headed to Dallas, according to ESPN. He reportedly will get a one-year deal for $4.5 million. (He made $3.3 million last season.)
Suddenly, Anaheim's Bobby Ryan, who is on the trade market, seems like an absolute bargain with an annual cap hit of $5.1 million.
The Flyers will miss Jagr's production, size, puck possession and leadership. His work ethic was unmatched _ and should be a lesson to those who were his teammates last season.
Trial on the Isle. Flyers prospects will participate in the annual "Trial on the Isle" competition, followed by a charity softball tournament, on July 11 in Stone Harbor. All proceeds will benefit Flyers Charities, with a donation going to American Legion Post #31.
The day will begin with a 9 a.m. swim in the ocean, followed by a run starting at the 96th Street beach to 123rd Street. The prospects will then participate in team-building activities led by members of the military as they make their way back to the 96th Street beach.
At noon, Flyers prospects will host a clinic in the Stone Harbor Elementary School parking lot, and another clinic will be held at 3 p.m. at the 80th street blacktop.
The prospects will be available to sign autographs at the school from 1:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. The admission fee is a $10 donation to Flyers Charities. Fans will receive a team photo of the prospects.
The prospects will play a charity softball game at 4 p.m. at the 80th Street field. At 5:30, a barbeque will be held at the Stone Harbor Yacht Club. Fans can make a reservation to have dinner with the prospects by calling 609-368-1201.

2014 Audi Q5 Values
Select a 2014 Audi Q5 trim level
2014 model year changes
The Audi Q5 gets a couple of new standard features, including a garage door opener and Bluetooth connectivity. The bigger news for 2014, is the addition of a new diesel engine. The new engine offers more power and torque than the base engine, while also beating it in fuel economy, offering up to 31mpg on the highway. The other big news for the Q5 in 2014 is the addition of the SQ5, a high performance version of the Q5 featuring a stronger engine and improved handling.
Competitive comparison
Strong performance; hybrid fuel economy; excellent ride quality; strong safety feature content list; excellent towing capability; available Audi Drive Select customization
Special features for 2014
With the 2.0 TFSI engine and 8-speed automatic, the 2014 Audi Q5 performs similarly to its V6-equipped big brother while being much more fuel-efficient. The standard Q5 has an EPA highway rating of 27 mpg. The Q5 has the longest wheelbase in its class and that gives it an especially smooth, settled ride. With either 3.0L V6, the Q5 has an excellent towing capacity as well. The Q5's rear-biased quattro all-wheel drive system brings more driving enjoyment than is typical for enthusiasts and those who might rather be driving a sport sedan, while the interior has just as much versatility and flexibility as other utility vehicles in this class. Add to the mix a 2.0L hybrid, and the appeal of the 2014 Audi Q5 is hard to ignore.
Now available with a 240 hp producing 3.0-liter V6 TDI engine, the 2014 Audi Q5 is a compact sport utility vehicle with seating for five. The base Q5 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 211 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. For increased performance, Audi offers an optional 3.2-liter V6 engine that produces 270 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid Q5 is capable of an EPA estimated 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Features include xenon headlights, LED tail lights, heated side mirrors, steering wheel controls, leather seating, panorama sunroof, heated front seats, three-zone automatic climate control, HD radio, Bang & Olufsen® Sound System, navigation system, and iPod®/iPhone® integration. Safety is comprised of advanced airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), anti-lock brake system (ABS), electronic brake-pressure distribution (EBD), and brake assist (BA). The Q5 is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Gabriel Axel, the first Dane to win an Oscar for best foreign film with "Babette's Feast" which he directed, has died at the age of 95.
His daughter Karin Moerch said in a statement that he died Sunday "quietly and peacefully after a long and eventful life." She did not say where he died or give the cause of death.
Born April 18, 1918, in Denmark's second city Aarhus, Axel divided his time between his homeland and France. He grew up in Paris where his father owned a factory and at age 18 he returned to Denmark to work as a carpenter making furniture.
But the theater drew him, and he enrolled in the Danish Royal Theater Actors' School, graduating in 1945.
Axel was born Gabriel Axel Moerch but he dropped his last name when he joined the theater troupe of French film and stage artist Louis Jouvet in Paris. Axel directed several large projects for French television, then returned to Denmark to produce series for Denmark's public broadcaster and direct several films in the 1950s and 1960s. He also acted in films.
His international breakthrough came in 1987 with "Babette's Feast," based on a novel by Danish writer Karen Blixen. The movie is about a 19th century Parisian woman, played by French actress Stephan Audran, who finds shelter in a remote, puritanical Danish village, living with two sisters who maintain a strict religious philosophy.
Axel's works include "Prince of Jutland," a 1994 film that tells the story of Amled, the Danish prince whose life inspired Shakespeare's "Hamlet."
In 2003, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Copenhagen International Film Festival.
Axel's wife of nearly 50 years, Lucie Axel Moerch, died in 1996. He is survived by their four children and eight grandchildren.
Funeral arrangements were not announced.

The Phillies have traded long-time centerfielder Shane Victorino to the Dodgers for 25-year-old reliever Josh Lindblom, Double-A starter Ethan Martin and a player to be named later or cash, the team announced. First impression is that Ruben Amaro Jr. got about as much as could be expected in return for Victorino, who had a rough first three months of the season but has started to hit better as of late.
Lindblom entered the season as the eighth-rated prospect in the Dodgers organization, according to Baseball America. He is a 25-year-old right-hander with solid strikeout and walk rates -- 8.1 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 -- but a propensity for giving up home runs (nine in 47 2/3 innings this season). In 48 appearances he has a 3.02 ERA. He has converted all 15 of his hold opportunities, but has blown both of his save opportunities. He has stranded 10 of 16 inherited runners. He is an extreme fly ball pitcher, averaging just 0.55 ground balls per fly ball in his two years in the majors. But he clearly upgrades the Phillies' bullpen.

The Alabama Cooperative Extension System recently hosted a Planter Clinic at the E.V. Smith Research Center in the east-central part of the state. Presenters discussed the calibration and setup of planter units, new metering technology, and the impact of planter performance on crop yields. The following is the second in a series of three.
While all crops can benefit from fine-tuning your planter, corn tends to be more yield responsive, says Andy Pace, Southeast regional manager for Precision Planting.
"There's more of a direct correlation to a lot of the changes and management practices that can be made by farmers. But the basic principles apply to all row crops, whether it is corn, peanuts or cotton," says Pace.
There are several things that can be done to tune your planter for success, says Pace, the first being perfecting seed spacing.
"To plant with precision, we need to get the spacing correct. There's also the singulation of your seed meter, and these factors go hand-in-hand.
"Equally important is improving depth uniformity. We know that if we can get uniform depth, we can get uniform emergence. If we get uniform emergence, we give ourselves the best opportunity to have those plants at the same growth stage throughout the year, making everything we do a lot easier," he says.
It's also important to create an optimal seed environment, adds Pace. "Down-force management and other factors will help us to manage that seed environment and give the seed its best chance, and the technology is available to help us improve our planter performance."
Farmers should look at their planters as small-scale factories, he says, with assembly lines within each row unit.
"But what are we doing with our assembly line? We cover it up with a closing system.
The only way I know what's going on is to spend my entire day digging seed, or I can invest in technology that can help me know if I'm running efficiently," says Pace.
When considering corn plant population numbers, growers should look at efficiency in planting. Also, they should make sure they've got uniform ear size, he says.
In a groundbreaking study conducted about 20 years ago by Purdue University, researchers went into farmers' fields and tried to gauge how well farmers did on hitting their target population, says Pace.
Only about 60 percent of the fields they examined were within about 4 or 5 inches of that targeted spacing. And, only about 16 percent of the fields were less than 3 inches within the targeted spacing.
"They went back and did yield checks on those fields and discovered a direct correlation between how well you space the plants and your yield potential. For every inch that we're off our targeted average spacing, it costs us about 2.5 bushels in potential yield of corn.
Changed mindset
"This study changed the mindset of those in agriculture and how we look at planters, and how we concentrate on spacing. Because if you think about it, if I could gain you an inch, I could gain you about 2.5 bushels of yield potential."
A Monsanto-sponsored study looked at a static plant population of 36,000 in 30-inch rows, and a uniform stand versus an erratic stand, according to Pace.
"There was about a 10-ear advantage in having uniform spacing versus an erratic stand. For each ear, we're adding about 7 bushels of yield potential. So how do we capture that extra ear?"
Calibrating your seed meters before going to the field is the easiest money in farming that you'll ever make, he says. "How often does everything go perfectly and beautifully on the first day of planting? If you put these meters on a test stand before you ever go into a field and start planting, you can make that first day a lot easier on yourself.
"I recommend that, no matter what you're running, put it on a test stand and bring in the seed that you're going to plant.
"On vacuum meters, you can figure out what vacuum you need to run. You also can figure out what plate you need to be using. We can take out a lot of guesswork by simply putting these things on a test stand and running them."
A Pioneer-sponsored study looked at farmers who calibrated their meters before the season versus people who did not, says Pace. On average, growers saw about a 5-bushel bump from simply calibrating meters.
Meters are the heart of the operation, he says. "You need to find out what's going on within each row of your planter and how efficient that factory is running. With the technology available today, you can do that."
Down-force management is critically important in improving planter performance, says Pace, with factors like bounce and vibration being mortal enemies of any seed meter.
So if I know what's going on with down-force, and I've got enough down-force to keep it in the ground, and I know I'm not getting too much bounce, then I know I'm giving that meter a good ride and the opportunity to perform."
Pace encourages farmer to invest in a good planter monitor that will provide data on factors like ride, spacing and down-force. "If I know how much the planter is bouncing, then I know how much it affects the seed dropping off the plate."
(If you missed he first article in this series, it can be found at Planter Clinic Part 1: Finely tuned equipment can't overcome other deficiencies).
Currently available technology such as planter monitors makes it possible to utilize the data coming through seed tubes in making decisions, he says.
When setting down-force systems on planters, growers tend to err on the heavy end of the spectrum, says Pace.
"Most everyone sets them for the heavier ground, because you want to be sure that when you hit a heavy spot, you've got enough force to get the planter into the ground.
"We want uniform depth and 100-percent ground contact, so we want to make sure we get enough depth. Typically, we carry a lot of extra weight. If we manage down-force effectively, we can improve uniform depth and optimum seed environment."
Several factors can affect down-force, says Pace, including seed, insecticide, fertilizer, targeted depth and speed.
"The faster I go, the more weight it'll take me to get into the ground. Standard row units weigh about 200 pounds on their own. Seed hoppers, fertilizer and insecticide could add from zero to 150 pounds of weight to that row unit, so it's constantly changing. If you're running row cleaners, whether they're fixed or floating, that's another 50 pounds of weight that can be added to that row unit."
Whether growers are running air bags or down-pressure springs, they've typically got the ability to go from zero to about 400 pounds, says Pace.
Four different settings
Heavy-duty down-pressure springs have about four different settings — 100, 200, 300 or 400 pounds. With each of these products, growers can add about 400 pounds of down-force pressure, and how they manage that is critical, he says.
Forces that exert pressure up include the ground; opening disks, accounting for 50 to 150 pounds of pressure back up; closing wheels, adding zero to 50 pounds; and row cleaners, adding zero to 20 pounds.
"Down-force is a lot to manage, and we typically manage it on the heavy side," says Pace.
"So if you have down-pressure springs, you'll usually set it at one notch heavier than it needs to be just to make sure you get 100 percent of depth when you get to heavier ground. Seed alone, with a 3-bushel hopper, can cause a 100 to 150-pound swing."
Excessive down-force can cause sidewall compaction in heavier soils, he says. In sandier soils, there's the risk of root-zone compaction.
"If we're talking about cotton, it's more of a taproot plant, and if I'm trying to plant shallow, I may want to put on extra weight to make sure it never rises out of the ground.
If I'm planting corn, at 1.5 to 2 inches deep, I want to put on enough weight to make sure I get my 100-percent ground contact, but I don't want to carry any extra weight because it can lead to root-zone compaction, and lateral roots never develop.
"When you've got root-zone compaction and the seed starts to germinate and set its taproot, it'll never develop the root system that'll pay you money."
If you can get enough down-force to get the seed into the ground but not carry excess weight, it'll help to create an optimal seed environment, says Pace.
Some growers are managing air bags on their planters, he says, and if you have down-pressure springs, there are retro-fit kits that'll allow you to use air bags.
"I recommend that producers buy a system that records your down-pressure information. It's important to start collecting data and to know if you have problems with seed size or soil type. The tools are available to manage down-force automatically."
Air bags, he says, are the first frontier of down-force management.
"There are systems that allow you to manage down-force pneumatically from the tractor cab. The next frontier is hydraulics.
"With air, I need to manage it across the entire planter because the technology today limits my ability to manage each air bag individually. Also, it takes the system 20 or 30 feet to make an adjustment.
"But we can replace the entire down-force system with a hydraulic cylinder that can adjust the individual row in a sub-second response time. It can go from 600 pounds of down-force to 400 pounds of lift in a very short period of time.
Not cheap
"There's a cost to it, so you have to weigh the benefits between managing down-force across the whole planter, or individually managing each row with hydraulics. That's why it's important to go ahead and start recording your down-force data."
Research has shown about a 10 to 15-bushel difference in managing down-force automatically versus trying to guess it yourself, says Pace.
Uniform depth in planting, he says, allows for uniform emergence. "It's a matter of managing that plant throughout the year. Uniform emergence helps us with uniform ear placement and uniform-size ears, and that'll give you more yield potential."
An Illinois study showed that a corn plant located next to a runt, or one that's two or three collars behind, produces more grain, says Pace.
"But if you look at the average of those plots versus the average of a uniform stand, there was about a 25-bushel advantage in having uniform emergence versus uneven emergence."
While there have been a lot of advances in planter technology, he says, it still boils down to looking at seed tube data. However, it's easier now to do something with that data.
"With variable rate planting, the only thing you're doing is adding a drive, be it hydraulic or electric. We get a lot smoother performance with these new motors, fewer issues with your meter and vibration, and not as many problems with population.

"Standard transmission settings are guidelines, and sometimes they aren't accurate."
Variable-rate technology means identifying two different zones — a higher management zone and a lower management zone, says Pace.
"We're talking about varying that rate automatically from the tractor, so I can plant a different population in each zone. That's what we're trying to accomplish. We get better spacing, better sunlight utilization, and better yield.
"The future is variable-rate seeding, and one of your suppliers will approach you about the ability of prescription planting with a variable rate.
"If you're looking to invest in a new planter or trade in your old one, make the investment in hydraulic or electric drives so you can apply prescription planting rates that match up with soil type and other data. It has become easier for growers to plant variable-rate prescriptions."
Growers, however, shouldn't expect to automatically save money on seed with variable-rate planting, cautions, Pace.
"You'll find yourself starting to push your land. So unless you have a water issue, where you want to drop rates outside a center pivot, you probably won't save money on seed."
Pace urges farmers to invest money in the most important factor on their farm – the planter. "This technology won't be cheap, but it pays off, and you'll do better than the average."

Hello all,
After getting into Latin i've decided I would also like to get into ancient Greek. After reading around ive decided with Homeric Greek as a starter. However like with Latin, I really want to get my pronunciation sorted before really getting into it. Even though I have Pharrs Homeric Greek and he spells out the pronunciation, id prefer an audio site with the real basics..such as how each letter is pronounced and also the 'names' of each letter. For example in english a 'W' is called 'double you'.
Ive found a site on Latin which was amazing. Heres the link to show you what i'm talking about...
http://www.wheelockslatin.com/chapters/ ... habet.html
It lists the 'names' of each letter, as well as the pronunciation of each letter and how they change in certain words..again with all audio examples. I also know pronunciation in ancient greek is not entirely straight forward..with different dialects, and debates etc..but any sites or information on where I could hear these basics concepts would be appreciated.

Oil prices jumped nearly $2 a barrel on Friday to notch their biggest weekly gain in a year, boosted by concerns over rising tensions in Egypt and better-than-expected U.S. economic data.
Prompt U.S. oil prices initially lagged gains but rallied later in the day, extending this week's abrupt gains in spreads on speculation that U.S. Midwest oil supplies are poised to tighten. The September versus October U.S. West Texas Intermediate spread rose 26 cents to close at a contract high of $1.31 a barrel.
Oil investors focused on signs of renewed geopolitical risk in Egypt. Fighting broke out in Cairo after the Muslim Brotherhood movement called for a "Friday of Rage" to protest the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi. News of protests near the Suez Canal added to the alarm for oil traders.
U.S. crude oil prices extended their string of 14-month highs. Front-month U.S. crude futures settled $1.98 per barrel higher, or 1.96 percent, at $103.22, after touching a high of $103.32. Trading volume was thin due to the Independence Day holiday on July 4.
U.S. oil gained 6.7 percent for the week, the largest weekly percentage gain since October 2011.
Brent crude oil for August delivery traded at a three-month high and ended $2.18 per barrel higher, or up 2.07 percent, at $107.72 after hitting a high of $107.88.
Brent gained more than 5 percent on the week and showed its highest weekly percentage rise since last June.
Oil prices vacillated earlier in the day after data showed that U.S. employers added 195,000 new jobs to their payrolls last month, more than expected.
The U.S. dollar index surged 1.5 percent while gold and copper fell nearly 3 percent after the data was seen drawing Federal Reserve closer to scaling back its massive monetary stimulus later this year, which would sap liquidity and drag on commodity prices.
But for oil markets, the potential upside from increased economic activity outweighed risks from the rising dollar and possible policy tightening, said Matt Smith, commodity analyst at Schneider Electric in Louisville, Kentucky.

As compiled by the University of South Carolina:
A three-time National Coach of the Year and Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year, Ray Tanner just completed his 16th year as head coach at the University of South Carolina. Tanner has established one of the premier programs in college baseball. He has led the Garnet & Black to two NCAA Division I baseball championships, a pair of national runner-up finishes, six College World Series appearances, three SEC championships, six SEC Eastern division titles, a SEC tournament crown and 13 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.
Under the direction of Tanner, South Carolina's postseason success from 2010-2012 is arguably the greatest run in collegiate baseball history. In the three-year span, the Gamecocks established NCAA records with 22 consecutive postseason wins and 12 consecutive wins in the College World Series. The Gamecocks won the NCAA Division I baseball championship in 2010 and 2011 with a national runner-up finish in 2012. South Carolina's 30-4 (.882) record over the past three seasons in the NCAA Tournament is the fifth best three-year postseason record in NCAA history (must make tournament at least two out of three years to qualify).
In addition, the 2012 CWS trip marked the sixth time in 11 years that South Carolina had reached Omaha. No Division I baseball team has made more appearances than the Gamecocks over the last 11 seasons.
Tanner and the Gamecocks have created one of the top environments in college baseball at Carolina Stadium. After a successful run at Sarge Frye Field through 2008, the Gamecocks made the move to the new $36 million Carolina Stadium where college baseball has continued to grow. South Carolina's total attendance of 295,389 in the 2012 season was second highest in the nation. The average attendance of 7,574 also was a Carolina Stadium record, besting the previous mark of 7,431 in the 2011 season. The Gamecocks also set a record for sellouts in 2012 with 15 games at a capacity of 8,242 fans. In addition, South Carolina set a record for season tickets sold with a total of 5,580 sold in the preseason before the 2012 campaign.
South Carolina is 13-0 in the postseason at Carolina Stadium and the Gamecocks have won 24 straight NCAA Tournament games at home dating back to the 2002 season. The Gamecocks own a 124-26 (.827) record since opening the facility on Feb. 21, 2009.
Tanner's 2012 squad went 49-20 and notched many accomplishments both on and off the field. Left-handed pitcher Michael Roth concluded his impressive career by being named the 2011-12 SEC H. Boyd McWhorter Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year and earning a spot on the 2012 CWS All-Tournament team. He would also receive the President's Award, the top honor given to a South Carolina student-athlete. Roth ended his stellar career with three CWS records including career starts (8), career innings pitched (60.1) and career hit batsmen (7). Roth's career ERA of 1.49 is the fifth lowest among all pitchers with at least 30.0 career IP at the CWS. Roth became the first player to start in the championship game of an CWS in three different years. Jim Withers of Southern California (1960, 1961) is the only other player to even start in two. Roth was a ninth round MLB Draft selection by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. First baseman Christian Walker earned All-America accolades for a second consecutive season as he earned second-team honors from the ABCA. Walker, also a first-team SEC selection, led the Gamecocks in all three Triple Crown categories for a second straight year with a .321 batting average, 11 homers and 55 RBI. Walker tied a CWS record for hits also in a career as he notched 28 that put him alongside Dustin Ackley of North Carolina (2007-09). He was a fourth round MLB Draft selection and signed with the Baltimore Orioles. Right-handed pitcher Matt Price earned second-team All-SEC honors and continued his dominance on the mound in the postseason. He set a record for career wins at the CWS with five and tied the CWS career appearance record as he made 13 appearances in the CWS, tying Texas' J. Brent Cox (2003-04-05). Price was a seventh round MLB Draft selection and signed with the Baltimore Orioles. Evan Marzilli made the CWS All-Tournament team, was an eighth round MLB Draft selection and signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks. In addition to a corps of veterans that will never be forgotten by the Garnet & Black faithful, Tanner ushered in a new era with an impressive group of newcomers on the 2012 team. Left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery and catcher Grayson Greiner earned Freshman All-America accolades by Collegiate Baseball with Greiner joining Tanner English and Joey Pankake on the SEC All-Freshman team.
Tanner's 15th season in 2011 with the Garnet & Black culminated in Omaha, Neb., where the Gamecocks won the 2011 National Championship becoming only the ninth repeat champion in MCWS history. Carolina was the first team to go 10-0 in NCAA Tournament play (3-0 in Regional, 2-0 in Super Regional, 5-0 in MCWS) in one season. The Gamecocks, who entered the tournament as the number four national seed, established NCAA records with 16 consecutive postseason wins and 11 consecutive wins in the College World Series. While in Omaha, South Carolina defeated Texas A&M, number one seed Virginia twice, and number two seed Florida twice without a loss.
In the previous year, the Gamecocks closed out Rosenblatt Stadium winning the 2010 National Championship as the Gamecocks became the first team in MCWS history to win six consecutive games in Omaha on the way to a national title, the first men's national championship at the University of South Carolina.
Under Tanner's leadership, South Carolina owns the longest current streak of NCAA Regional appearances among the 12 SEC schools with 13 straight trips to the tournament dating back to the 2000 season. In that span, Carolina has 10 NCAA Super Regional appearances (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012). South Carolina is one of only two schools in the nation to make at least 10 NCAA Super Regionals in the last 13 years and one of only six schools in the country to have reached the NCAA Regionals every season from 2000 to the present. The program's 13-year record of 626-251 is the second-highest win total among NCAA Division I schools. South Carolina has 13 consecutive seasons of 40 or more wins.
Carolina's 2011 SEC regular-season championship was the third in school history as the Gamecocks also collected championships in the Southeastern Conference with regular-season titles in 2000 and 2002 along with a SEC Tournament crown in 2004. Tanner's last 12 teams have featured 23 All-America performers.
The 2012 season was Tanner's 25th year as a collegiate head coach. At South Carolina, Tanner owns a 738-316 record at South Carolina with a .700 winning percentage, second highest all-time among SEC coaches. His career record is 1,033-489-3 for a winning percentage of .699.
Tanner guided South Carolina's 2011 squad to one of the most impressive seasons in school history with a share of the SEC championship and the number one seed at the SEC Tournament on the way to the school's second-consecutive national title. Carolina won nine of 10 league series in the regular season en route to a 22-8 conference record. The team featured All-America and All-SEC pitcher Michael Roth, who went 14-3 on the year, including a win in the national championship clincher over Florida. Roth's 14 wins tied for the national lead and his ERA was best among all starting pitchers in college baseball. Roth ranks on South Carolina's single-season charts in ERA (2nd, 1.06), starts (T1st, 20), innings (3rd, 145) and wins (T5th, 14). Roth also showcased his talents off the field as an Academic All-America first-team selection and as winner of the Elite 88 Award for the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship, given to the student-athlete with the top GPA at the College World Series. Right-handed reliever Matt Price also earned All-America and All-SEC accolades as he posted seven wins and 20 saves out of the bullpen in 59.0 innings. First baseman Christian Walker earned All-America and All-SEC honors as well as he led the way for the Gamecocks at the plate as the team's Triple Crown winner with a .358 batting average, 10 HR and 62 RBI. Second baseman Scott Wingo was a first-team All-SEC honoree as well as the College World Series Most Outstanding Player. Wingo hit .333 over five games in the series with four RBI, including three in the finals, and also made several stellar defensive plays throughout the MCWS. He finished his career having appeared in 254 career games, one shy of South Carolina's school record (255 Michael Campbell, (2003-06). Right-hander Forrest Koumas earned SEC All-Freshman team honors with Walker, Wingo and junior outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. named to the All-SEC Defensive team. The 2011 MLB Draft concluded with 11 South Carolina players selected, one behind the SEC record of 12 set this year by Vanderbilt.
Tanner gained valuable experience at an international level in his association with USA Baseball. He has served five stints with Red, White and Blue, including in 2003 as head coach for the USA National Baseball Team. At the helm of some of the top freshmen and sophomores in the country, Tanner's club finished with a 27-2 record, the best record for a U.S. National Team (.931 winning percentage) and won a silver medal at the 2003 Pan American Games. He was named the U.S. National Coach of the Year for his work that season. Prior to his head coaching stint, Tanner served as an auxiliary coach under Tommy Lasorda for the 2000 Olympic Team that won a gold medal at the XXVII Olympiad in Sydney, Australia. He was also an assistant under former LSU coach Skip Bertman with the 1995 and 1996 USA teams that culminated in a bronze medal win at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Ga. Tanner also served alongside current Mississippi State coach Ron Polk on Bertman's staff. Tanner's first stint with USA Baseball came as an assistant coach to the national team in the summer of 1993.
Tanner was named the South Carolina head coach June 14, 1996, after nine successful seasons at North Carolina State.
The 1997 Gamecocks compiled a 33-24 record in Tanner's initial season and qualified for the Southeastern Conference post-season tournament. The 1997 team produced a first-team All-America player in designated hitter Ryan Bordenick. Bordenick and pitcher Brett Jodie were named to the All-SEC team, and shortstop Adam Everett was chosen to play with the U.S. National Team. Bordenick and catcher Rob Streicher were named All-South.
The 1998 team was ranked among the top 20 in the nation, compiled a 44-18 record and earned a bid to the NCAA playoffs with Tanner earning SEC Coach of the Year. Pitcher Kip Bouknight, outfielder Mike Curry and shortstop Adam Everett were named first-team All-SEC. Bouknight, Everett, Curry and Bordenick picked up All-America recognition, and pitcher Peter Bauer was named Freshman All-America.
The 1999 team won South Carolina's first Southeastern Conference Eastern Division championship and finished with a 35-23 record. It produced first-team All-SEC designated hitter Tim Angiolini with shortstop Brian Roberts making the second team. Roberts led the NCAA in stolen bases with a school record 67 and also earned All-America recognition. Four players from the 1999 squad signed professional contracts.
Tanner's 2000 South Carolina team won the Southeastern Conference championship, a regional championship, advanced to a Super Regional and finished with a 56-10 record. The 2000 team was ranked first in the final Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) compiled by the NCAA and among the Top 10 in the three national final polls. Baseball America ranked the Gamecocks fourth, Baseball Weekly eighth and Collegiate Baseball ninth. In addition, Tanner was named National Coach of the Year as well as SEC Coach of the Year for a second time. Pitcher Kip Bouknight, 2000 consensus All-America, won the Golden Spikes Award for the nation's top amateur baseball player and finished the year with a 17-1 record. Bouknight and pitcher Scott Barber were first-team selections on the 2000 All-SEC squad, and pitcher Peter Bauer, outfielder Nate Janowicz and shortstop Drew Meyer were All-SEC second-team.
His 2001 Gamecocks finished with a 49-20 record, won a regional and advanced to a Super Regional finishing in the top 15 in the national final polls. Carolina was 12th in the Baseball America poll, 13th in Baseball Weekly and 15th by Collegiate Baseball. The 2001 Gamecocks battled through the loser's bracket to win a second-straight regional championship but lost a 3-2 heartbreaker to Stanford in the third and deciding Super Regional game at Palo Alto, Calif. Tanner's 2001 squad produced two All-America players in pitcher Lee Gronkiewicz, the nation's leader in saves, and catcher Tim Whittaker, who was also a semi-finalist for the Johnny Bench Award. Outfielder Garris Gonce, Gronkiewicz and outfielder Marcus McBeth were All-SEC.
In 2002, Tanner and his Gamecocks made it to Omaha and stayed 12 days to finish as national runner-up. It was the first trip for Tanner and culminated in a national championship showdown between South Carolina and Texas. The Gamecocks won their second SEC championship in three years, and Tanner was named 2002 American Baseball Coaches Association South Region Coach of the Year. South Carolina was ranked as the number two team in the nation in all of the final polls. The final 2002 record was 57-18, topping the school record of 56 wins set two years earlier. The 2002 team won four games in the SEC Tournament after winning the official conference title with a 21-8 record in conference games. The Gamecocks then defeated Virginia Commonwealth and North Carolina twice to advance to the Super Regional for the third year in a row. The Gamecocks won two of three from defending national champion Miami (Fla.) to advance to the College World Series in Omaha. It took a five-run ninth-inning rally to defeat the Hurricanes in the deciding game. After being shut out 11-0 by Georgia Tech to open the 2002 World Series, Tanner's team fought back. Carolina defeated home state favorite Nebraska 10-8, Georgia Tech, 9-5 and Palmetto State archrival Clemson twice, 12-5 and 10-2, before losing the title game to Texas 12-6. It was South Carolina's third second-place finish in Omaha. The Gamecocks were also runners-up in 1975 under coach Bobby Richardson and in 1977 under coach June Raines.
Three of Tanner's players, first baseman Yaron Peters, pitcher Blake Taylor and shortstop Drew Meyer earned All-American honors. Peters was the SEC Player of the Year, and Taylor led the nation in saves with 21. Meyer was a first-round pick, the 10th overall choice in 2002 and the third-consecutive Gamecock shortstop to be drafted in the first round.
South Carolina returned to the College World Series in 2003 and notched one win, an 11-10 slugfest over fellow SEC member LSU wrapped around a pair of losses to CWS runner-up Stanford. The final record in 2003 was 45-22 and in the final national polls the Gamecocks were ranked sixth by Collegiate Baseball, seventh by Baseball Weekly and 10th by Baseball America.
To get to Omaha a second-straight time South Carolina won its fourth SEC Eastern Division championship, a fourth-consecutive NCAA Regional championship and a second consecutive Super Regional.
The 2003 Gamecocks swept the Atlanta Regional hosted by Georgia Tech with a win over East Carolina and two over Stetson and then swept two super regional games against North Carolina at Sarge Frye Field. Two of Tanner's 2003 players, pitcher David Marchbanks and third baseman Brian Buscher, earned All-America recognition. Marchbanks was also SEC Pitcher of the Year, and he, Buscher and Landon Powell were named All-SEC. Seven 2003 Gamecocks were drafted and three others signed as free agents.
South Carolina made its third-straight trip to Omaha in 2004 when the Gamecocks finished with a 53-17 record and in the process set or tied 20 school records. Four of Tanner's players earned All-America honors in 2004, Powell and pitchers Chad Blackwell, Matt Campbell and Aaron Rawl. Powell and Blackwell also earned All-SEC honors along with Brendan Winn. Six Gamecocks were drafted and signed professional baseball contracts in the 2004 season, including Powell and Campbell, who were selected in the first round of the MLB draft, the first time in history that two Carolina players were taken in the first round. Carolina finished the year ranked third in the country in all three national polls.
Carolina had another successful season in 2005 that saw the Gamecocks earn a spot in the NCAA Atlanta Regional. Carolina finished 41-23 and reached the final game of the NCAA Regional. Senior first baseman Steve Pearce earned All-America honors and was named NCBWA District IV Player of the Year. Junior shortstop Steven Tolleson joined Pearce on the All-SEC team. Pearce, Davy Gregg, Aaron Rawl and Zac McCamie all signed professional baseball contracts at the end of the season. The Gamecocks finished the season ranked 21st by Sports Weekly and 25th by Baseball America.
Carolina earned another trip to the postseason in 2006 and won the NCAA Charlottesville Regional before falling one win shy of a trip to Omaha and the College World Series by winning the first game of the NCAA Super Regional in Athens. Despite having a young team, Tanner molded together a group that saw four players earn All-SEC honors, including first-team outfielder Michael Campbell and second-team honorees Robbie Grinestaff (designated hitter), Reese Havens (shortstop) and Wynn Pelzer (relief pitcher). In addition to Havens, first baseman Justin Smoak, outfielder Andrew Crisp and starting pitcher Mike Cisco were named to the SEC All-Freshman team. The seven Gamecocks honored were the most players from an individual school to be recognized by the conference coaches in 2006. Smoak and Crisp also received national recognition with freshman All-America honors. Carolina finished 2006 ranked 12th by Collegiate Baseball as well as 13th by Baseball America and 15th in the Sports Weekly/ABCA coaches' poll.
South Carolina recorded its eighth-consecutive 40-plus win season in 2007 and achieved a ranking as high as No. 1 in the nation during the year. Carolina earned a trip to the postseason and won the NCAA Columbia (S.C.) Regional before again falling one win shy of a trip to Omaha and the College World Series by winning one game in the NCAA Super Regional in Chapel Hill.
The 2007 team featured two All-America players in Smoak and designated hitter Phil Disher. Disher would also earn first-team All-SEC honors along with second baseman Travis Jones. Smoak picked up a second-team All-SEC selection along with third baseman James Darnell. Baseball America and the USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll ranked South Carolina at No. 10 at the end of the season with the Gamecocks coming in at No. 11 in Collegiate Baseball's final rankings.
South Carolina recorded its ninth-consecutive 40-plus win season in 2008 and earned a trip to the postseason and the NCAA Raleigh Regional, where the Gamecocks finished in second place. The 2008 squad featured Smoak and Havens, who along with All-America honors, were selected in the first round of the MLB Draft. Smoak was the 11th overall pick to the Texas Rangers with Havens drafted 22nd overall to the New York Mets. The Gamecocks finished with seven players drafted. Smoak and Havens also earned All-SEC accolades along with third Darnell and designated hitter Phil Disher. Smoak was a first-team choice with Darnell, Disher and Havens named to the second-team.
Tanner and South Carolina returned to the Top 25 in 2009 with a squad that finished the year 40-23 with a 17-13 mark in the SEC for second place in the Eastern Division. The Gamecocks finished in second place in the NCAA Greenville (N.C.) Regional. Having to replace several top players from the year before, the Gamecocks showcased new talent that included Jackie Bradley Jr., a consensus Freshman All-America selection, as well as second-team All-SEC first baseman Nick Ebert, who was among the nation's leaders in home runs with 23. Carolina also had several players drafted, including sixth-round selection Justin Dalles to the Baltimore Orioles and 13th round pick DeAngelo Mack to the New York Yankees. Mack, Dalles, Ebert and junior shortstop Bobby Haney earned All-SEC accolades with Bradley and left-handed pitcher Nolan Belcher named to the SEC All-Freshman team. The 2010 Gamecocks finished with a 54-16 record, won a Regional and Super Regional before heading to Omaha to win the school's first baseball national championship. The 2010 team featured All-America and All-SEC pitcher Blake Cooper along with Freshman All-America first baseman Christian Walker and Freshman All-America relief pitcher Matt Price. Price also earned second-team All-SEC honors with outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., who was named College World Series Most Outstanding Player. Walker, Price and Evan Marzilli received SEC All-Freshman team honors as well. The Gamecocks finished SEC season play with an impressive 21-9 record also. Six players would go on to sign professional contracts after the season.
Before arriving to Columbia as head coach of the Gamecocks, Tanner led his alma mater, NC State, to seven appearances in the NCAA postseason tournament and ranked second for most wins in school history. He was the 1990 Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year and in 1993 was named Atlantic Region Coach of the Year when his team won 49 games.
While he was head coach a NC State for nine seasons, Tanner was affiliated with the Wolfpack baseball program for more than 20 years. He came to the Raleigh campus in the fall of 1976 as a player following an outstanding career at South Johnston High School in Four Oaks, N.C. A four-year starter at shortstop and third base, he earned All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors his senior season and still ranks among the Wolfpack's all-time leaders in several categories.
Following his playing career, Tanner served as an assistant for NC State coach Sam Esposito, overseeing recruiting efforts and coaching third base.
When Esposito retired, Tanner moved up at the age of 28, becoming one of the youngest head baseball coaches in the nation. During his tenure as an assistant, the Wolfpack reached the NCAA Tournament twice. He had additional duties as assistant to the athletics director and as assistant athletics director in charge of game operations.
Tanner has a bachelor of science degree in recreational administration from NC State (1980) and a master's of public affairs, public administration (1983).
Born Donald Ray Tanner, Jr., March 25, 1958, in Smithfield, N.C., Tanner grew up in Benson, N.C. He is married to the former Karen Donald, a native of Charleston, S.C. A University of South Carolina graduate, she was formerly head women's athletic trainer at NC State. During the summer of 1997 she served as trainer for Charlotte in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She is the former director of athletics and director of sports medicine at Columbia College.
They have two daughters, Bridgette Grace ("Gracie") and Margaret Pearl ("Maggie") and one son, Joseph Luke ("Luke").

Complete Water Tight Design - A total of 6 rubber seals (9 seals on the live liner models) create a virtually impenetrable water tight design. Whether you cop a wave in the surf, or the reel gets drowned in the spray on the boat ride home, you don't have to worry? Saltwater wont penetrate the seals and won't be getting into the gearbox or drag system.
Slammer® Drag System - A fully sealed drag system with 3 HT-100 drag washers (1 on the top of the spool, 2 underneath the spool). All HT-100 washers are come greased for extra smoothness and even longer life. With a large even extreme drag range, nearly endless adjustment, and a large easy to grip drag knob you can easily crank down to max drag and stop that big fish.
Full Metal Body - As like the original Penn Spinfisher Reels, the Spinfisher V is housed in a rugged full metal body and sideplate this helps maintain exact gear alignment even under extreme loads. Also all th metal parts on the Spinfisher V recieve an extremely durable heavy duty anodisation providing long life.
Super Line Spool™ - Now there is no need to back up your reel with mono when using braided line. The Spinfisher V Features a rubber gasket that prevents braided lines from slipping!
Line Capacity Rings - Now you'll know how much line you've got left when your hooked on to that big fish. The Spinfisher V features three lines on the spool flange to that lets you know when you have 1/3rd, 2/3rds and a full spool line. It also provides a good guide if you're going to top shot some braid on to your spool.
