For example, if you are the type who type ls very often, then
will ls after every command you issue.
Place this in your .bash_profile and you can use it two different ways. If you issue 'h' on its own, then it acts like the history command. If you issue:
h cd
Then it will display all the history with the word 'cd'
Joker wants an email if the Brand X server is down. Set a cron job for every 5 mins with this line and he gets an email when/if a ping takes longer than 3 seconds. Show Sample Output
Check out the usage of 'trap', you may not have seen this one much. This command provides a way to schedule commands at certain times by running them after sleep finishes sleeping. In the example 'sleep 2h' sleeps for 2 hours. What is cool about this command is that it uses the 'trap' builtin bash command to remove the SIGHUP trap that normally exits all processes started by the shell upon logout. The 'trap 1' command then restores the normal SIGHUP behaviour. It also uses the 'nice -n 19' command which causes the sleep process to be run with minimal CPU. Further, it runs all the commands within the 2nd parentheses in the background. This is sweet cuz you can fire off as many of these as you want. Very helpful for shell scripts.
This will comment out a line, specified by line number, in a given file.

How often do you make a directory (or series of directories) and then change into it to do whatever? 99% of the time that is what I do. This BASH function 'md' will make the directory path then immediately change to the new directory. By using the 'mkdir -p' switch, the intermediate directories are created as well if they do not exist. Show Sample Output
This is how I typically grep. -R recurse into subdirectories, -n show line numbers of matches, -i ignore case, -s suppress "doesn't exist" and "can't read" messages, -I ignore binary files (technically, process them as having no matches, important for showing inverted results with -v) I have grep aliased to "grep --color=auto" as well, but that's a matter of formatting not function.
The backtick operator, in general, will execute the text inside the backticks. On OS X, the pbpaste command will put the contents of the OS X clipboard to STDOUT. So if you put backticks around pbpaste, the text from the OS X clipboard is executed. If you add the pipeline | pbcopy, the output from executing the command on the clipboard is placed back on the clipboard. Note: make sure the clipboard is text only. Show Sample Output
This pipeline will find, sort and display all files based on mtime. This could be done with find | xargs, but the find | xargs pipeline will not produce correct results if the results of find are greater than xargs command line buffer. If the xargs buffer fills, xargs processes the find results in more than one batch which is not compatible with sorting. Note the "-print0" on find and "-0" switch for perl. This is the equivalent of using xargs. Don't you love perl? Note that this pipeline can be easily modified to any data produced by perl's stat operator. eg, you could sort on size, hard links, creation time, etc. Look at stat and just change the '9' to what you want. Changing the '9' to a '7' for example will sort by file size. A '3' sorts by number of links.... Use head and tail at the end of the pipeline to get oldest files or most recent. Use awk or perl -wnla for further processing. Since there is a tab between the two fields, it is very easy to process. Show Sample Output
I was looking for the fastest way to create a bunch of ansi escapes for use in echo -e commands throughout a lot of my shell scripts. This is what I came up with, and I actually stick that loop command in a function and then just call that at the beginning of my scripts to not clutter the environment with these escape codes, which can wreck havok on my terminal when I'm dumping the environment. More of a cool way to store escape ansi codes in an array. You can echo them like:
echo -e "${CC[15]}This text is black on bright green background."
I usually just use with a function:
# setup_colors - Adds colors to array CC for global use
# 30 - Black, 31 - Red, 32 - Green, 33 - Yellow, 34 - Blue, 35 - Magenta, 36 - Blue/Green, 37 - White, 30/42 - Black on Green '30\;42'
function setup_colors(){ declare -ax CC; for i in `seq 0 7`;do ii=$(($i+7));CC[$i]="\033[1;3${i}m";CC[$ii]="\033[0;3${i}m";done;CC[15]="\033[30;42m"; export R='\033[0;00m';export X="\033[1;37m"; };
export -f setup_colors
CC[15] has a background of bright green which is why it is separate. R resets everything, and X is my default font of bright white.
CC[15]="\033[30;42m"; R=$'\033[0;00m'; X=$'\033[1;37m'
Those are just my favorite colors that I often use in my scripts. You can test which colors by running
for i in $(seq 0 $((${#CC[@]} - 1))); do echo -e "${CC[$i]}[$i]\n$R"; done

I usually have 5 or more ssh connections to various servers, and putting this command in my .bash_profile file makes my putty window or x terminal window title change to this easily recognizable and descriptive text. Includes the username, group, server hostname, where I am connecting from (for SSH tunneling), which device pts, current server load, and how many processes are running.
You can also use this for your PROMPT_COMMAND variable, which updates the window title to the current values each time you exec a command.
I prefix running this in my .bash_profile with
[[ ! -z "$SSH_TTY" ]] &&
which makes sure it only does this when connecting via SSH with a TTY.
Here's some rougher examples from http://www.askapache.com/linux-unix/bash_profile-functions-advanced-shell.html
# If set, the value is executed as a command prior to issuing each primary prompt.
#H=$((hostname || uname -n) 2>/dev/null | sed 1q);W=$(whoami)

#[[ -z "$SSH_TTY" ]] || export PROMPT_COMMAND
#[[ -z "$SSH_TTY" ]] && [[ -f /dev/stdout ]] && SSH_TTY=/dev/stdout

Bash 4 will let you do {00..19} to get leading zeros, but Bash 3 doesn't have that feature. This technique gets you partway there (the sequences need be such that the last digit ranges from zero to nine - you can't use this for something like Bash 4's {03..27}, for example). When this limitation is not a problem, you can avoid some complicated string manipulation for concatenating leading zeros.
You can add more digits like this: {0..1}{0..9}{0..9} (ranges from 0 to 99 with up to two leading zeros). To pad with additional zeros:
for i in 000{0..1}{0..9}; do echo $i; done
for i in {0..1}{0..9}; do echo "000$i"; done
This is useful for creating values to sort or for creating filenames with a fixed format. Note that this will also work:

I see several possible explanations :
1/Apple doesn't care much about OSX anymore, now that they can see how much of a bigger cash cow iPods and iOS devices are. I'll see how right this is at this event.
2/They tried to distort the role of iTunes so horribly that they more or less reproduced Microsoft's move to integrate their web browser everywhere : in OSX, iTunes could have a much larger role internally than we can see, and be linked to a shitload of system libs, many of which have nothing to do with music, which makes porting it to another toolkit a nightmare.

Wells Fargo Settles a Securities Case
By BEN PROTESS
Published: August 15, 2012
Wells Fargo on Tuesday settled accusations that it sold troubled mortgage investments without fully researching the products or disclosing the risks to customers.The action by federal authorities, the latest mortgage-crisis case against a big bank, yielded a $6.5 million settlement. Wells Fargo earned $16 billion last year.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has spent nearly four years building cases against the nation's biggest banks for their role in the mortgage mess. The agency has filed civil actions against Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup.
But in recent months, the agency has struggled to bring big cases as it pursued a second round of investigations focused on the banks' failure to disclose the dangers of mortgage securities. The Wells Fargo case comes just days after Goldman Sachs revealed that the S.E.C. had closed an investigation into a 2006 mortgage deal without pursuing charges.
In an order against Wells Fargo and one of its former brokers, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged that the bank had failed to study or even understand the complexity of the high-risk investments it sold. In the period leading up to the bursting of the housing bubble, the S.E.C. said, Wells Fargo sold so-called asset-backed commercial paper to nonprofit groups, local governments and other investors with ''generally conservative investment objectives.''
''Broker-dealers must do their homework before recommending complex investments to their customers,'' Elaine C. Greenberg, head of the agency's Municipal Securities and Public Pensions Unit, said in a statement. The $6.5 million penalty, the S.E.C. said, will go into a fund for aggrieved investors.
As part of the settlement, Wells Fargo is neither admitting nor denying the allegations. A bank spokeswoman said that ''these issues occurred more than five years ago and pertain to a part of the firm that was completely revamped after the merger with Wachovia,'' a bank it bought at the end of 2008. She added that Wells Fargo was ''pleased to put this matter behind us.''
The Wells Fargo case involved investments sold from January to August 2007, as the subprime mortgage crisis was brewing. Several investors, according to the S.E.C., ''suffered substantial losses'' after three of the deals defaulted later that year.
''Municipalities and other nonprofit institutions were harmed because Wells Fargo abdicated its fundamental responsibility as a broker to have a reasonable basis for its investment recommendations to customers,'' Ms. Greenberg said.
The S.E.C. criticized the bank for not informing investors about the ''the nature and volatility of the underlying assets.'' The lack of transparency stemmed, in part, from the bank's own ignorance, the agency said.
Wells Fargo and its brokers, the S.E.C. said in the statement, ''failed to understand the true nature, risks and volatility'' of the deals it pushed on investors. Rather than reviewing memos outlining the risks, the bank relied almost entirely on the credit ratings of the securities.
The action also cited Shawn McMurtry, a former vice president and broker at the bank, over his role in selling the deals. Under the settlement, Mr. McMurtry agreed to a $25,000 fine and six-month suspension from the securities industry.

What happens when M.C. Hammer gets fused with Flashdance
Anyway, don't be this guy at the office Christmas party. This, my fifteen friends, is our Friday traditio.
I also offer up, especially for my readers from The Cathedral of the Madeleine RCIA community, a summary of last evening's RCIA class on the sixth and ninth commandments, which deal with sexual morality, which includes a case study.
3 comments:
And why not? These people standing there just staring are stupid and don't know real talent when they see it! Ha! I'd love this guy at my party. (Guess that's why I married Fronk).ReplyDelete
Happy Friday!
That was dang funny. But at least he wasn't doing the boot scoot boogie!ReplyDelete
And thanks for the RCIA info.
Okay, who is Fronk and does Frank know about him?ReplyDelete
I hope the info is useful. I always feel a bit disjointed discussing morality.
If you have never watched the two season of the BBC The Office do yourself the favor. It's funny and poignant.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Note: Where the instructions tell you to type a command, only type what is within the quote marks, do not type the quote marks.
1. Prepare sample in a precision sample tube.
2. On the keypad, turn off the "Lock on/off" (light should be off)
3. Turn off the Spin On/Off
4. Turn the "Lift On/Off" to on, retrieve sample holder, insert the new sample tube, check depth gauge, wipe tube with a kimwipe and place on top of the probe. Turn "Lift On/Off" to off.
5. Press "Spin", the light should blink. By pressing second function, and Spin Meas. the keypad will display the preset spin rate (20 Hz) and the actual spinning rate of the sample tube. When the actual rate reaches the preset value, the light will stop blinking.
6. Press "Standby".
(All mouse clicks are done with the left mouse button unless otherwise specified.)
1. If the computer is not already running:
Log on with username "student", password "chemnmr".
Start XWin NMR by double-clicking on the icon on the desktop.
1. Pull down the "File" menu, move to "open" and release on "data set owners".
2. Click on `nmr" or any other data set owner given to you by your instructor.
3. Pull down the "file" menu, move to "open" and release on "data sets by name".
4. Click on "stdproton" or any other data set that your instructor has directed you to. Old data may be displayed. Ignore it.
5. Pull down the "file" menu, move to "new" and release. Click in the box after "name" and type in a new name for your sample. Be sure to click in the box after "user" and to type in your owner name. Then click on "save". You are now set up to collect a standard 1D proton spectrum.
1. Type: "lock" (return). A list of solvents will be displayed. Click on the solvent being used in your sample.
2. Pull down the "windows" menu and release on "lock". A window with green and white wave patterns moving across it will appear. This can be made larger by clicking on the upper right hand corner box.
3. The instrument will have already automatically locked on to the deuterium signal in your sample. If it has, the light on the "Lock" button on the keypad will be lit. If it has not, press "Autolock". This button will blink for a while, and eventually the "Lock" button light will come on and stay on. During this the red and white wave patterns will move up on the lock window display.
4. On a spinning sample there are only two shims to use, Z and Z2. Press Z and adjust it by turning the knob on the keypad in whichever direction causes the red and white wave patterns to rise vertically in the lock window display. If adjustment causes the patterns to move off the top of the screen, press "lock gain" and use the knob to bring them back down onto the screen. Then press Z again to continue shimming. If an adjustment in Z only leads to a worsening, by pressing Z a second time you will return to the original value at which you started. Pressing any other key will cause your most recent adjustment to be saved. Alternately press Z and Z2, adjusting each until no improvement in the vertical position of the lock signal can be obtained. Press "Standby" and click the box to shrink the lock window. Click on the main window to bring it to front.
1. Normally the probe is left tuned for proton spectra so that you may proceed with the next step. If the tuning has been changed, another step is required at this point. Obtain the assistance of an expert.
2. Type "rga" (return) and wait until the automatic receiver gain adjustment is complete. Display will read: "rga: finished".
3. Type "zg" (return). You can watch the accumulation of the FID by pulling down the "acquire" menu and releasing on "observe FID window". When the experiment is complete, the message at the bottom will display: "checklockshift: finished".
4. Type "ft" (return). The screen will automatically display the Fourier transformed spectrum.
1. In order to adjust the phase well, it is convenient to see the baseline clearly. To do this it is handy to greatly increase the amplitude temporarily. Use the "*2" button to double the spectrum amplitude, and the "/2" button to cut it in half.
2. Increase the amplitude several times as appropriate and then click on "phase".
3. Click on "biggest".
4. Further phase improvement can be obtained by clicking and holding down the mouse button on "PH0" and rolling the mouse up or down as needed. Release when the phasing looks good.
5. Click on "return" and click on "save & return".
6. If you are satisfied with the width of the spectrum you can skip this section. Otherwise you can designate a smaller spectral window and rerun the FID acquisition. The number of scans can be increased at this time, too.
7. To narrow the spectral window, click in the black area of the screen and get an arrow pointing down on the spectrum trace. Click the center mouse button at the left edge of the desired new spectrum width and again at the right edge. The new size will increase to fill the screen display.
8. Click on "utilities". Click on "sw-sfo1" (retrun). The new width is now set.
9. Repeat the acquisition by typing "zg" (return). When the "checklockshift: finished" message is displayed, type "ft" (return) and repeat the phasing process. Click on the "return" button and "save and return".
1. Identify the TMS peak. Left click in the black screen to get an arrow riding on the spectrum. Move this just to the left of the TMS peak and center click. Move the second arrow just to the right of the TMS peak and center click again. A greatly expanded view of the TMS peak will be displayed.
2. Click on "calibrate". Move the arrow until it is riding exactly on top of the TMS peak and click the center mouse button. Type "0" (return). Click the left mouse button to regain the usual cursor arrow. Click on the restore full spectrum button (third down on the right column of buttons).
1. Click on "integrate".
2. Click on the screen to get an arrow riding on the spectrum trace.
3. Click the center mouse button to the left and right of peaks that are to be integrated separately. When finished, click on "return" and "save and return".
1. The plotted spectrum can display numerical labels for the chemical shifts of selected peaks. Usually only the tallest peaks are wanted for labeling. The threshold is set by clicking on "utilities" and then on "MI". (Click "ok" on any error messages that appear.)
2. Obtain a horizontal line that moves up and down with the mouse. Adjust it to the desired height and click. Click on "return".
1. Type: "setti", (return). Obtain a new window, position it and click to make it active. Position the cursor in the gray area and type the desired title for the spectrum.
2. Click on "save" and the "quit".
1. Pull down the "output" menu, move to "define/show plot region", move to "retain CX" and then release. Hit the return key three times in response to the values displayed. Click "ok" on any error message.
2. Type "view" (return). Get a new window, position it with the mouse and click to make it active. Click "ok" on any error messages. Click on quit to remove the preview.
3. Type: "plot" (return). Click "ok" on any error messages.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that there is a sample in the magnet when you leave the instrument. You may leave your sample in if you do not need to recover it, or you may put in a standard sample. After putting a sample tube back into the spinner, release the lift button on the keypad. You may also turn on the spinner. Do not leave the magnet with the lift air on and no sample in.
1. On the keypad, turn "Lock on/off" to off. (Light goes off.)
2. Turn spinner off. (Light off.)
3. Press "Lift" (Light goes on.)
4. Retrieve sample from spinner.
5. Replace a sample tube in the spinner, return this to the magnet and turn the "lift" button on the keypad to off.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—After being named the SAA Player of the Week, Birmingham-Southern junior Larry Thomas was named to the D3hoops.com National Team of the Week today.
Thomas had an outstanding week, averaging 28.3 points and 7.0 rebounds a game while shooting 55.8 percent from the field, 40.7 percent from three-point range, and 84.2 percent at the free throw line. Against Huntingdon last Tuesday, he scored a career-high 40 points, and then led the Panthers with 20 points against Hendrix on Friday and 25 against Rhodes on Sunday.
Thomas' heroics against Rhodes included drilling the clutch game-tying three-pointer with 32 seconds left in regulation to send the game to overtime. He is now six points away from hitting 1,000 career points as a junior. Thomas also had four assists, three steals, and two blocks on the week.

Dave discusses pruning your family tree on the Digicopia blog.
Using land records to solve genealogy problems was a topic on The Turning of Generations.
Here's a step-by-step description of using the FamilySearch extension in the Google Chrome browser. This is a nifty tool that lets you search FamilySearch.org while on a person page on Ancestry.com. This has been working fine all week, until today. The developer indicated it may be an issue with FamilySearch - and will keep an eye on things to make sure the extension continues to work as intended. The post is from John on the Currach blog, whom I thank for bringing this add-on to my attention.
Another great post from James Tanner at Genealogy's Star is about online privacy.
The list is a little short this week - I've had the pleasure of ancestor overload this week with a LOT of new information and photographs coming my way. I've actually been working on my family history research rather than reading the blogs! That's a good thing, though, right?

Now that I have your attention...of course my cats are not outside all the time. The only time they are outside is if they are chaperoned by my husband or me. And no...they don't eat chocolate. They don't like it. Plus...I don't share my chocolate easily - not even with my cats! ;):p
Please, please, please, please!!!! stop ruining the Cat of the Day experience for people! If you cannot say anything nice - don't say anything at all! The person who submits his/her cat wants to hear how pretty/clever/adorable/smart their cat is. They do not want to hear about the bad experiences you have had with cats...or your philosophy on how they should raise their cat - or your opinion on anything except how pretty/clever/adorable/smart their cat is.
I feel so sorry and sad whenever I read a Cat of the Day and it says anything about the outside because I know the lectures will come - and I think how sad the person will be. I really doubt someone on the island of Cyprus will say..."Oh...what good advice...I will change how my cat lives now!"
Can't we just make it a nice experience for people...please??

When Nintendo said New Super Mario Bros 2 was all about the money, they weren't kidding. Nintendo has announced that New Super Mario Bros 2 will be the first game in the company's history to offer for-pay DLC after launch. Additional "Coin Rush" stages will be developed after the game comes out.
Although this may signal a change in Nintendo's strategy, NOA president Reggie Fils-Aime was quick to point out that NSMB2 will be "full featured," and that no content is being removed for the purposes of being made into DLC.
He says that there are no additional details to offer because the levels "haven't even been made yet," poking fun at other publishers that announce DLC details well before a game's launch. In addition to NSMB2, Nintendo has announced that the upcoming Fire Emblem game will also offer paid DLC.

After an opening-series loss to the Auburn Tigers (34-22, 13-17 SEC) Thursday, the Florida Gators (40-15, 19-11 SEC) responded with a 4-3 win Friday in which the team rallied back from a three-run deficit. Saturday's rubber match would be a chance for Florida to not only win the series against the Tigers, but win the most regular season games in three years.
On Senior Day, Josh Tobias and Bobby Poyner would play major roles in Florida's 3-1 win over the Tigers. Tobias went 2-3 with a home run and two RBIs, while Poyner closed out the game with his fourth save of the season.
Auburn scored first in the second inning as a wild pitch by Alex Faedo got away from catcher Mike Rivera and allowed Kyler Deese to reach home. Florida responded in the next at bat when Peter Alonso hit a solo home run that fought the wind along the right field foul line. Despite a review from officials, the call stood and Alonso had his third homer of the season.
Florida's pitching struggled early for the second consecutive game of the series, but improved throughout the game. Faedo was inconsistent in finding location early on, but would gain control and retired nine consecutive batters after the wild pitch. After Auburn's Cody Nulph broke the streak with a single to center field in the top of the fifth inning, Jackson Burgreen singled to third and Damon Haecker was walked. Faedo was replaced in the the top of the fifth inning by junior Taylor Lewis. Lewis continued the success seen by the Florida's pitching earlier, only giving up two hits in four innings pitched.
The Gators would light up the scoreboard again in the bottom of the sixth inning. After Richie Martin reached first base off a fielding error by Deese, Tobias hit a home run to left center field. The two-run blast not only put the Gators up 3-1, but led to Auburn replacing pitcher Issac Yarbrough after two pitches.
While Florida would only amass two more hits after Tobias' home run, the defense remained strong, holding Auburn to one after the sixth inning. With one out to go in the ninth inning, Poyner entered the game. The senior needed only two pitches to end the game, getting Burgreen to fly out to right field.
The Gators end the regular season with the most wins since 2012, the same year the Gators reached the College World Series. With the same ability to score in key moments and make top defensive plays like that year's squad, the future —namely, Omaha—looks bright for the Gators.

CHESTER — It seems like a long time since the Philadelphia Union have played a match at PPL Park.
Indeed, it was three weeks ago Saturday that a pathetic Union squad was serenaded by boos and chants of "Fire Hackworth" as it left the PPL pitch after a 5-3 humiliation at the hands of New England.
Since, they've had a few more stops on the roller-coaster tour of the season, continuing in the doldrums with an uninspired 4-1 beatdown at the hands of Landon Donovan-powered LA Galaxy before a brief hint of possibility in last week's 3-0 triumph over a horrific Chivas USA side.
What team shows up Saturday when the Union (3-7-5, 14 points) entertain Vancouver (5-2-5, 20 points) is anyone's guess. But whichever side of the Union it happens to be, those players will be tasked with overturning a sizeable heap of recent struggles in an arena they've sought to regard as a "fortress."
Their recent play there, however, has been more hapless than fortress. The Union are 1-2-3 in six home matches in 2014. They've scored just seven goals in those matches, indicative of a season-long struggle to find the back of the net, and conceded nine times, five in the embarrassment at the hands of the Revolution.
Such a laundry list of struggles — at home and at large this season — make the solution difficult to decipher. But one suggestion is fairly obvious.
"I think it's hard to pinpoint," Union forward Conor Casey said Wednesday at training. "I think obviously scoring first has been huge for us when we've been able to do that and not giving up early goals. I think that's going to be really important for us this weekend to come out right and be on the front foot. I don't think we've really don't that that well this year, and that's cost us. Teams can sit in once they go up, and it makes it very difficult for us. It makes it harder to break down. Hopefully we can come out, get the first one and keep the pressure on."
John Hackworth has long advocated playing a different brand of soccer at home, a more composed, confident version of the game in which the Union are able to dictate terms. That has been undercut, time and again, by early concessions of goals — like Chris Rolfe's sixth-minute tally in D.C.'s 1-0 win May 10, Luke Mulholland's sixth-minute opener in a 2-2 draw with Real Salt Lake April 12 and A.J. Soares 13th-minute goal in the trampling by the Revs.
Out of their early comfort zone and left to chase games, something they've struggled to do given their offensive anemia, things have fallen apart quickly, on the field and in the stands.
"I think it's important for the opening stages of the game, to put our good foot forward and get the fans behind us," forward Andrew Wenger said.
"I think in the past, the fans have been a large part of our success at home, at least of what I've seen in the past. I think that's going to be very important, if we can come out on the right foot and set the tone early."
The Union's problems at home have turned into a compounding predicament: The Union have played poorly, reducing the fervor of the fans who normally make the confines of PPL Park such an inhospitable place for opponents, which has in turn adversely affected the club's sense of home-field advantage.
The sense among the players is that the burden of getting the fans more firmly on the side of the club is squarely on the shoulders of those on the field.
"They're incredible. Their support, it's obviously not easy for them. It hasn't been easy for us either," Casey said. "We understand that the way that they support us, we haven't performed up to their expectations. And that's normal. That's good that they're passionate about it. We know that they feel it, and we want to get back on the right track, and hopefully this weekend, we can get them back — I don't want to say back on our side because they're always on our side — but perform well to show them that we really want to win."
That task will be challenging this weekend given the form of the Whitecaps, who are unbeaten in their last six.
That includes impressive road form, with a draw at Real Salt Lake, a win in Columbus and last week's 4-3 victory in Portland.
The club has been forced to reinvent itself this year, with the departure of last year's MLS Golden Boot winner Camillo in the offseason and the decision early this season that designated player Kenny Miller was no longer worth his bloated salary.
Despite the changes, they haven't missed a beat. Pedro Morales (five goals, five assists) has been the driving force, while talented youngsters like Kekuta Manneh, Erik Hurtado and Darren Mattocks have filled in impeccably.
In the face of that challenge, the Union will have to work hard to make sure it's home sweet home once again.
"I think we're happy to be here," Hackworth said. "This is our home. This is where we're based out of every single day. This is where we all feel the most comfortable. We just have to establish that — re-establish it."

1. "So feel free to call me with any questions you might have."
2. "That's the end of my presentation."
3. "Thank you for listening."
4. "Do you have any questions?"
5. "Ummm … thanks."
"In conclusion, we've made significant strides in protecting children. Our education campaign significantly helped increase the number of parents who use child safety seats for their children. And our work with the state legislature resulted in laws that now allow police to ticket and fine parents who don't.
"As a result of our work, the biggest issue is no longer making sure that parents install safety seats. Rather, it's making sure that they do so correctly. One recent study found that as many as 90 percent of all safety seats are installed improperly, which increases the odds that a child will be unnecessarily hurt or killed in an auto accident.
"Therefore, I'm recommending a new campaign that shifts our focus from installing safety seats to installing safety seats correctly. This new campaign would encourage parents to use a state- approved installer instead of trying to install the seat themselves. I believe this is the logical next step in our efforts to protect kids in our state, and that this strategy shift will yield tremendous results."
"I'm only going to speak to you for one hour this morning. During our hour together, someone, somewhere in America, is going to be badly injured in a house fire. By the time you begin lunch this afternoon, someone, somewhere in America, will die in a house fire. By dinner, another person will die. By the time you go to sleep, another person will die. As you sleep tonight, two more people will die."
"I'm here today because I want to prevent that from happening. And I'm going to need your help."
"We've been together nearly an hour. That means that someone, somewhere in America, was just badly injured in a house fire. And we're an hour closer to lunch, which means someone is about to perish in a house fire.
"Your work matters. Because of your passion, you're going to prevent someone from getting hurt. You're going to spare a family from having to mourn a husband, a wife, a sister, a brother, or a child. And next year, when we meet again, I hope that because of your work, I'm unable to open my speech with the same tragic statistics that I used at the beginning of today's session."
"Earlier today, you learned that immediately after seeing twenty photographs, people remembered an average of only five. Therefore, I know that you're probably going to forget many of the different tips and techniques you learned today. So even if you forget everything else from today's session, I'd like to conclude by reminding you of the three most important things you should remember before every presentation you ever give. They are…"
"My mother just turned 82, and her health is starting to decline. She was diagnosed recently with congestive heart failure, and her doctors prescribed three new medications for her. As you can imagine, those drugs are pretty important.
"I wanted to help her figure out which drug plan covered all of her medications, which I thought was going to be an easy task. Well, imagine my shock when I sat down at the computer at 10 o'clock in the morning and couldn't finish figuring it all out until after dark?
"Folks, let me assure you that I know how to use a computer. And it took me 10 hours to get through all of the options. There's no way my mother could have chosen the right plan on her own. She was almost in tears by the end of the day. And she's just one of millions of seniors just like you who are spending hours, days, or even weeks in sheer frustration because of the government's inability to make this easy for you. I know how important medications are to you, and I will fight to make finding the right drug plan easier for you."
"Next Tuesday is Election Day. Next Tuesday all of you will go to the polls, will stand there in the polling place and make a decision. I think when you make that decision, it might be well if you would ask yourself, are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we're as strong as we were four years ago?
"And if you answer all of those questions yes, why then, I think your choice is very obvious as to whom you will vote for. If you don't agree, if you don't think that this course that we've been on for the last four years is what you would like to see us follow for the next four, then I could suggest another choice that you have."

Millions of Illinois taxpayers' dollars are being spent to place the Constitutional Amendment on the November general election ballot. I urge you to vote no. If this amendment is successful, how much money will it save our state? Not one penny.
This amendment is being promoted by Speaker of House Michael Madigan as "real tough medicine." The real tough medicine is the waste of taxpayer dollars to have this unnecessary amendment placed on the ballot. Speaker Madigan now proposes tough medicine be administered to retirees and current workers when, in fact, he stood by and approved the state not making required payments to the pension systems.
What the Speaker is doing is nothing less is covering his butt at the taxpayers' expense. Tell the sponsors of this amendment to stop wasting our money and get to work resolving the real problems in our state. Vote no on the amendment.

When talking about the Colonial Valley Conference's Patriot Division in girls' basketball, the talk usually starts with Hopewell Valley.
The Bulldogs have won seven straight Patriot titles and took it a few steps further during last year's 25-3 season. HoVal reached the Central Jersey Group III semifinals and Mercer County Tournament finals.
Gone from that team, however, is Kelly Williams, the school's second all-time scorer.
But junior swingman Kara Hageman emerged as a force on the boards last year, had some big scoring games and is a defensive presence inside. Senior guard Nellie Tanguay and senior forward Jen Didun also have ample varsity experience.
Tanguay is one of the county's most accurate shooters, while Didun, Sami Yusko and Shelby Butler all saw regular time in the rotation.
Coach Jeff Losch, entering his eighth season, feels that Ellen Griffin, Claudia Winters and Liz Mintz will all have increased roles after seeing varsity time last year.
"We know that we have a lot to live up to after last year but the team is confident we can do it," Losch said. "Nellie Tanguay and Kara Hageman both had outstanding seasons last year and we expect even more. They both put in a lot of time in the off season to improve.
Hoping to end HoVal's run of CVC Patriot titles are Allentown, Ewing and Lawrence, each of whom had successful seasons in 2011-12 and hope to continue that success.
Dana Williams at Lawrence has almost the entire team back from one that won 13 games, with senior Marisa Visco leading the way.
Senior guards Amirah Brown and Daphne Ginn add more experience to a Cardinals roster that could give Losch and his Hopewell Valley girls their stiffest challenge in the Patriot race.
Ewing coach Mike Reynolds' squad won 13 games last winter and should be close or over that win total this time with a cast of veterans led by Candice Scott-Mason who is closing in on 1,000 points for her career and Sarah Kelley, another senior guard.
Robbinsville suffered huge graduation losses when Taylor Mayweather and Amanda Orlak graduated from the winningest Ravens team yet. That left coach Chris Hoffman with an inexperienced squad of all guards to try and stay above .500.

OUTLOOK: "We expect the Patriot Division to be even more competitive this year," Losch said. "We'd like to win the Patriot Division again. We also feel that if we play the way we are capable, we should continue to be one of the top few in the conference.
"If we can continue to improve throughout the regular season, we'd like to see if we can make it over the hump in the Mercer County and state tournaments.

Kali Hartshorn Fr. G 5-9
OUTLOOK: The Redbirds graduated a trio of standout players in Dana Sensi, Leah Ogrodnik and Karlee Corvasce, who combined for 85 percent of the scoring. "We have Mandy Hornyak and Kirsten Romano back who started last year, and Kathleen Kyle is back from her ACL injury and will be in the post with Hornyak," Wiese said.
"Anne Lee and Erin Primich are returners who saw some varsity time last year, but the rest of my girls lack varsity experience. It looks to be a rebuilding year," said Wiese, a 1,000-point scorer in her high school days at McCorristin.
"We do have two very promising freshmen in Kali Hartshorn and Bianca Santos who will see varsity action," said Wiese, who is hoping their arrival in the CVC bodes well for the future of Allentown girls hoops.

Nicole Cox Fr. 5-9 G

Isabelle Dolu Fr. 5-6 G
OUTLOOK; "The rebuilding process continues," said Hoffman, who begins his second season. "Even though we won 10 games last year (most in school history) and qualified for the state tournament, the loss of Taylor Mayweather, Amanda Orlak, and Alison Guido will be tough to overcome.
"We have no seniors and only four juniors so we are looking for underclassmen to step up and lead Robbinsville basketball. Junior Julia Kardos and sophomore Kaitlyn Herbert are the only two who return with varsity experience, but we are looking for contributions from freshmen Courtney Allen," Hoffman said.

OUTLOOK: The Cardinals went 13-12 last season, "and we had some really tight games we wish we could have back," Williams said. The return of eight seniors, three of whom have played varsity since their freshman year could lead to another winning winter at Lawrence.
"I'm really looking to have a successful season for them. For all the time and effort they put in, they deserve to have a successful season. We are looking to be organized on defense and have our defense convert into offensive baskets," Williams said. "With our balanced attack we could be difficult to stop."

OUTLOOK: The Blue Devils finished 13-10 last season, and have enough experienced girls returning to possibly surpass that win total led by senior Candice Scott-Mason, who is closing in on 1,000 career points with 874 already in the books.
"We're quick like last year, but with more overall team size," said Reynolds as he enters his fourth year coaching the Ewing girls. "Scoring has been very balanced throughout our scrimmages and we're hoping our defense will stay quick and intense."

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- The Topeka school district's police force is requesting high-powered semi-automatic rifles after a security analysis following the shooting in Connecticut.
Director of School Safety Ron Brown says the district's force carries only semi-automatic handguns, while the officers contracted through the police department also carry semi-automatic rifles.
When those rifles are in the schools they are secured in gun safes.
Brown recently told the school board he wants his officers to have semi-automatic rifles too. He is requesting Colt AR-15s.
He says it would equalize the fire power should a confrontation occurr.
The school district has 14,000 students and 10 officers on a district-led force and contracts another 10 officers through the local police department.

Overcoming Hatred
I've been thinking a lot about all the strife in this world - between individuals, between countries, between races. I understand that hatred occurs when there is hostility between two people, and neither have a desire to see the positive in each other and build a friendship.
Surely, given the vast range of different personalities around, people will come across others with whom they simply do not get along, and if they try to associate with them, the hatred will just build. Isn't it better to just agree to differ and avoid contact with them?
The Aish Rabbi Replies:
The Torah says: "If you see the donkey of someone you hate lying under its load, you must help him unload it" (Exodus 23:5).
While the verse addresses alleviating the pain of an animal, it also presents another issue: Helping someone you "hate" unload his donkey.
We see from here that the way to overcome hatred is to help the other person, care for them, and give to them. When I give to someone, I invest a piece of myself, and therefore we become bonded.
Of course, if your hatred is greater than your ability to be patient and giving, and the interaction will end in a fight, then it's better left alone. But if you are capable of overcoming the challenge, then it's good to put yourself in a situation where you are forced to help the object of your dislike.
Otherwise, hatred left alone will just fester, waiting to explode. And is that really the type of world we want to live in?

Colonial Williamsburg Social Media Booms on the Fourth of July
It wasn't just the fireworks that lit up Colonial Williamsburg on the Fourth of July. Social media channels were abuzz with impressions of Independence Day.

July Fourth tweets from Colonial Williamsburg's Twitter account generated nearly 200,000 impressions. Photographs and video on the Colonial Williamsburg Instagram feed received more than 600 interactions.
A mobile LED screen located in Market Square allowed visitors in the Revolutionary City to post comments throughout the day. Comments were also posted from Colonial Williamsburg's Twitter account and the Connect Twitter account.
"For the week of July Fourth 2012, our Facebook page reached 124,000 people. In the same week this year, we nearly tripled that number, reaching more than 369,000," added Patrick, who noted, "The efforts and planning of the strategic communications team allowed us to share the unrivaled experience of the Revolutionary City with our online audience on Independence Day."

What a nice day!! Thanks CW!!"

READING, Pa. (May 21, 2013) – Reading United created a little bit of Cup magic on Tuesday night. On warm and humid late evening, United earned a historic 1-0 win over professional side Harrisburg City Islanders in front of their faithful fans. The win helped Reading maintain their perfect start to the 2013 season and also helped them book a place in Round Three of the 100th U.S. Open Cup where they will face Major League Soccer powerhouse, the New York Red Bulls.
United entered the match against their fellow Philadelphia Union affiliate riding a tremendous wave of momentum. Reading started the season by scoring 13 goals while not conceding a single goal to open the 2013 campaign with a 3-0 record in all competitions. After defeating FC Lehigh Valley United, United Head Coach Brendan Burke acknowledge the challenge posed by Harrisburg. "It's a great opportunity," said Burke. "No real pressure on us, but it's a big mountain to climb in terms of getting a result."
As they had in their three previous matches, United began the match aggressively, putting the pro side on their heels early in the match. United backs Jonny Dolezal and Ben Sweat attacked down the City Islanders flanks while forwards Larry Ndjock and Mario Pinto pressed the Harrisburg back four.
Harrisburg went in search of an equalizer and began applying pressure on Reading. United left back Ben Sweat was more than a match for former Philadelphia Union midfield Morgan Langley. Langley was frequently dispossed and left frustrated by the talented defender from South Florida.
The City Islanders had a golden opportunity to level the match in the 39th minute. Lucky Mkosana had an open header on goal, only to see McCarthy flash across the net and palm away the big forward's effort.
John McCarthy makes one of his six saves to deny Harrisburg an equalizer.
The La Salle keeper came up huge for Reading, making clucth save after clucth save to deny Harrisburg. McCarthy posted six saves on the night and helped Reading stretch their consecutive scoreless streak to 360 minutes. The Cinnaminson New, Jersey native credited his back line, "Defense really won this game for us. The defense came in and came through, they helped me out. They had my back."
With Reading 45 minutes from an Open Cup third round date with the New York Red Bulls, Burke made no adjustments to United's tactics. "We said mentally, you guys need to stay switched on," Burke said of his halftime team talk. "This game will turn on a counter-attack, this game will turn on someone falling asleep on a dead ball. You need to make sure that there are no mental lapses."
Under relentless siege by Harrisburg over the final minutes, Reading's defense held firm and kept the Islanders off the scoreboard. Burke acknowledged the fine play of central defender Damion Lowe in helping to preserve the win. "He was my man of the match," said Burke following the game.
Referee Ian Bongaardt's final whistle signaled a historic victory for United and set off a celebration amongst the Reading supporters. The win was Reading first against a professional opponent in U.S. Open Cup play and avenges a crushing 2-1 loss to Harrisburg in the 2011 U.S. Open Cup. "I'm just very happy for our boys to have accomplished what they did tonight," Burke shared following his post game huddle with the elated Reading squad.
The victory also means Reading will travel to Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey to face the New York Red Bulls next Wednesday, May 29th. "It's like a dream come true, to play against Juninho and all their stars," said a reflective Mario Pinto following the game.

I'll be the first to admit that I do not get the whole Angry Birds thing. As an old-school NES fan, I even bristled at the comparisons to Mario. But when gaming godfather Shigeru Miyamoto himself throws Rovio's hit a few compliments, it's hard not to take notice. When those compliments include wishing he had thought of it himself, it's harder still.
"Angry Birds is a very simple idea but it's one of those games that I immediately appreciated when I first started playing, before wishing that I had been the one to come up with the idea first," Miyamoto told Hookshot Inc. "I mean, obviously I want to be the one creating the most convincing, surprising game ideas."
So what tickles Miyamoto's fancy? He says "the way in which it combines traditional and new game elements in exciting ways" stands out to him. "In particular the control scheme is excellent. When you analyze it, the controls are actually quite fuzzy in terms of the way that it works. It takes a little while to get used to the controls, I think, but once you've mastered them, you have a lot of precision. I think a lot of work went into getting that right."
Then again, as one of the principle figures at Nintendo, he couldn't go without mentioning his own system. "Obviously, if the developer had created the game for Nintendo DS the controls would have been even better, but what can you do?"
Rovio recently launched the first full sequel to Angry Birds, Angry Birds Space. Not surprisingly given the franchise's popularity, it hit the #1 paid app almost immediately. It currently sits at #2, behind fellow wunderkind Draw Something.

I agree with comment #26
Thanks Lori for your comments but feel comment #26 is more on the right track. You may have the initial flash of intuition ("Chochamah") to think of putting together two Jewish people but what is needed is more thought (understanding "Bina")and then some real 'Daat" ideally Torah advice or even Sage advice whether the girl and the guy should meet. A bit more forethought leads to a better result!

I'm scared to amke shidduchim.
Thank you for this piece Lori. I am scared off trying to make shidduchim/playing matchmaker. I set a 'blind date' up for a friend and he met a nice Jewish girl and 12 years later and 2 kids later they are divorced. My friend didn't get upset with me - he said it had been a very hard time years of lack of shalom bayis domestic harmony. He also said that he was so happy that he has 2 Jewish boys/kids BUT I think matchmakers should do more thought, As 1 Rabbi OBM once told me "Not every skirt is for every trousers' great care and thought should be used when trying to matchmake albeit it is very hard to bring Jewish singles together nowadays. Why do we have so much divorce nowadays even in frum circles? Is it because there is a lack of thought by shaddchonim.matchmakers?

Josh Barnett will face Frank Mir after an absence of 11 years from the Octagon.
The former heavyweight champion will face Mir at UFC 164 on August 31 in Milwaukee, promotion officials have said.
This announcement comes after Barnett signed a multi-fight deal with UFC last week.
Barnett has fought professionally since 1997 and made his UFC debut in 2000 beating Gan McGee at UFC 28.
In March 2002 Barnett had captured the UFC heavyweight champion after defeating Randy Couture with a second-round technical knock-out.
However, the 35-year old was shortly tested positive for banned substance and was stripped of the belt. He hasn't contested under the UFC banner since, until now.
He has spent time fighting in Japan, where in 2006 he progressed to the finals of the PRIDE open weight grand prix before losing to Mirko Filipovic.
Barnett has recently fought for the likes of Pancrase, Pride and Strikeforce and is nicknamed the 'Warmaster.'
He has won nine of the last ten fights having last competed in January when he overcame Austrian Nandor Guelmino.
Frank Mir is currently on a two-fight losing streak after consecutive losses to Junior Dos Santos and, more recently, to Daniel Cormier last month.
Mir's most recent victory came in December 2011 when he beat Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
After breaking Nogueira's arm during the fight, Mir was awarded the 'Submission of the Year' at the 2012 Fighters Only World MMA Awards.

Flames' five teams finish in top 10 at tourney in Kentucky
November 9, 2013 | Louisville, Ky.
All five squads Liberty University's paintball team entered into Saturday's National Collegiate Paintball Association MSCC Event No. 2, hosted by the University of Kentucky in Louisville, placed in the top half of the 19-team field.
"We took 25 players, all five lines, and we ended up finishing second (gold), third (red), fifth (black), eighth (white), and ninth (blue)," Flames Head Coach Todd Hoglund said. "So all five teams made it out of the preliminaries and we had two teams in the (final four). We showed them what Liberty paintball looks like."
The Flames have been ranked No. 1 in NCPA Class AA since winning the Liberty Open tournament.
Liberty's gold squad, made up of its top guns, finished runner-up to defending NCPA Nationals Tournament champion Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU).
"For our first away event, going to a large tournament and playing in the championship match against the defending national champions, it was a tremendous challenge," Hoglund said. "They're a good team. We were battling them all day. Some of my lines met them in the prelims, others were battling them in the quarterfinals and the gold team met them in the finals."
The Eagles were led by Luis Munoz, a professional, as well as some highly-ranked divisional players.
"He's really good at what he does," Hoglund said. "When we were able to shut him down, we were able to score those points. If we let him do what he does, he did well."
In the best-of-three, Race-to-2 finals, FGCU scored the first point before Liberty evened the match and it came down to a winner-take-all third point.
"It was leave it all out on the field and they just came out on top," Hoglund said.
FGCU didn't lose a man in the deciding match.
"We went out to show them what we've got and it wasn't enough. I'm still really proud of all them. I couldn't ask for more from five lines of teams," Hoglund said.
Liberty's fifth team, the black squad made up of mostly newer players, was the talk of the tournament. The Flames came out of the preliminary round ranked second and wound up fifth overall.
"They surprised me and played really well," Hoglund said. "For the fifth line, our 20th through 25th players at Liberty, to beat well more than half of the teams there, it says a lot about how far the program has come."
Bradley Kauffman, a freshman with experience from Florida, had a breakout performance on the Dorito side.
"He performed better at the tournament than he had at practice showing really dominant play," Hoglund said. "He came alive and that's why the black team did so well."
Though the white team finished fourth out of five teams and eighth overall, it got a terrific performance from Randy McKinsey, who won a one-on-three in a preliminary match.
"It was just a tremendous individual effort to deliver in the clutch," Hoglund said. "He was on Dorito side, and they had players all over the place — one on the snake, one up the center, one on the Dorito side — and he just took them out one by one. I thought we had lost the point (but) he pulled it out. It was quite impressive."
Other teams in the field were Clemson, Georgia State, Georgia Tech, Kennesaw State, Missouri, Purdue, Akron, Missouri University of Science and Technology Prestige, Tennessee, VMI, West Virginia, Western Kentucky, and Virginia Tech, the only other school that entered more than one team, with Orange and Maroon squads.
There were eight teams from Virginia including Liberty's five, Virginia Tech's two, and one from VMI.
Complete results will be posted online.
MSCC Event No. 3 will be hosted by the University of Georgia on Feb. 15.

CHANNAHON — Firefighters from three area departments came together Friday night for a competition that highlighted their cooking skills.
Channahon Fire Protection District hosted its first-ever chili cookoff, inviting Minooka and Troy fire protection districts to come out and take a shot at a shiny trophy for "Best Tasting" chili, as well as bragging rights.
The cookoff was organized by Cindy Wilson, who serves as fire and life safety education coordinator for both Minooka and Channahon fire protection districts. She said the idea came from an interest in bringing area residents into the fire station.
"We were looking to do (an event) event in the community," she said, adding that the camaraderie between the three departments made the chili cookoff a natural kind of event to hold.
As residents trickled into the station bay, the departments each had their own table, with chili toppings at the ready and slow cookers full of chili. Five teams in all participated, two from Channahon, one from Minooka and two from Troy.
The panel of judges took their place at a table holding the trophy. They included Minooka resident Vince Portlock, Channahon Police Chief Jeff Wold and Minooka Fire Protection District Chief Al Yancey. After they received their bowls of chili, attendees were able to try their own.
Channahon resident Michelle Blazekovich could be found with her children and grandson, trying the different flavors. She said she heard about the event through a school note and decided to bring the family.
"It sounded like a good time. I love chili, and I haven't seen the movie 'Brave' yet," she said, noting the after-cookoff entertainment for the night — a screening of the new Disney movie.
Her 9-year-old daughter, Cassie, said she was enjoying the event.
"This is really good chili," she said.
As the judges wrote down notes and talked amongst themselves, firefighters weighed in their chilis. Channahon firefighter Rich Arnold said he thought his was a strong contender for first place.
"I think I've got a good chance," he said, adding that he knows one of his competitors, fellow Channahon firefighter Andy Anderson, is also a good cook. "It'll be very interesting to see who wins."
Arnold said he thought the cookoff was a great idea not only to bring in locals to the fire station, but also to support some charities. Admission was a dollar to support the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance's "I am me" Burn Camp or donations like toiletries for Chanooka Wish. He said he and his wife, Michelle, who also volunteers for the Channahon Fire Protection District, are both interested in giving back.
"We're big advocates of charity — we try to do as much as we can," he said.
After the judging, Wilson handed the trophy to Troy Fire's Iron Chefs team, which was made up of Deputy Chief Andy Doyle, Lt. John Probst and firefighter/paramedic Brian Toepke.
Portlock said the judges' decision was unanimous in awarding the top honor to the Iron Chefs' creation.
"It had some kind of a sweetness, a flavor that made it stand out among the chilis," he said. "As we tasted the different chilis, we talked about what made each stand out."
Portlock said it was a tough decision for the judges, because of the cooking talents on display.
"I was quite impressed by the different flavors of chili that the firemen prepared," he said.
Chili competition kicks off with some super bowls
Cookoff stirs up some creativity, fun amongst local fire agencies
