On the victory and the second half:
"A much better [second half]. You know I wasn't very happy at halftime. And the biggest part of it is my job. I thought our discipline in a few things wasn't what it should be number one. We're not taking care of the ball. We're minus four in the turnover department for the game. We left plays on the field and we didn't execute again on third down and giving up another big kickoff return. Isaac [Blakeney] isn't going to catch everybody. But I think our players took it personal when I explained the game to them. I'm going to do my job better in helping people understand that taking care of the football, that running routes, that throwing when and where we're supposed to do and doing things precise is not an option. Now let's turn to the positive. Wow did we play hard and with energy and enthusiasm. Probably the best defensive game we've had in quite some time. 500 yards to 150, somewhere in that range, that's domination. The kicking game got better. We were able to fake a punt successfully. We were able to recover an onside kick. We squandered the opportunity. Ross [Cockrell] continues to get better and he doesn't have to. He's got to forget trying to be perfect. Kicking off I thought we had some nice improvement in that regard. And third downs, I'm finally going to say something positive. How about 8-of-9 in the second half? You don't have to be 8-of-9 on third downs, but it was great to see us convert some third downs."
On which players stepped up tonight:
"There's no question that we got a little spark from both running backs, 25 [Juwan Thompson] and 23 [Jela Duncan] picked a good time. I would start with 19 [Sean Renfree]. 2 [Conner Vernon] and 3 [Jamison Crowder] are always there, 19 [Renfree] played with a little edge that we want to see. How about him with a run at a critical time for a conversion and a big play on a drive we needed to score a touchdown. He can do those things and I liked the edge. I liked it a lot. Defensively, our defensive front took something personal. Their little quarterback is hard to hem up. He's quick and quick-handed. I thought we were just tremendous all night over there. And then our secondary, no matter how hard they tried us, they didn't really get much done there. Ross [Cockrell] and Lee Butler and I'm really worried about Lee, he's got a lower leg injury so we'll see that is, but we don't need any more of those. I hate to see Josh Snead [get injured] and we'll have to evaluate that. I'm excited that you just saw something different about this team in the second half. A totally different edge and that's what it's going to take for us to win in the ACC. We know what we've got in front of us. It's not going to be easy, you know that."
On being 3-1 and heading into Wake Forest:
"Let me first say, Anthony [Dilweg] including yourself, that it was great to see a lot of former Duke football players back. Homecoming, celebrating the 100th season - that meant a lot to me and last night I spoke to a group and there was a pretty incredible energy in that room. It was great to see four former head coaches back, a couple of them very young in their 80s. I said this last night, but Coach Red Wilson, Barry Wilson, Fred Goldsmith and Tom Harp, thank you for coming back. And if a former Duke head football coach looks that good when they retire I have a chance. Thanks to you all for all that you do. It meant a lot to our players to have so many former Duke football players around and it created a great atmosphere so thank you. For what we have to do to get ready, we have to take correcting mistakes seriously. The little things, the exchange of a center snap. We had two [turnovers on the snap]. Getting the ball secured on the exchange is not a big deal until it's a big deal. So that's the kind of Sunday I want and then we'll worry about Monday and Tuesday on Monday and Tuesday. But we need to have a good Sunday to get ready for taking on what's going to be a very challenging schedule with the ACC games left in front of us."
Duke RB Jela Duncan
On how the team can carry this momentum into ACC play:
"We just want to get better as a team. Heading into ACC play, we're just trying to get better week in and week out."
On the transition from high school to college football:
"The speed of the game – I had to get adjusted to it. It was pretty fast in the summer, but I feel like I adjusted to it pretty well. Guys like Juwan [Thompson] and Josh [Snead] just showed me the way."
On the importance of building the running game:
"We've got to try and get the running game started so we can feed off the passing game. Coach stressed that we have to get the ball downhill, keep on running it outside whenever we could. We just tried to establish the run."
Duke DE Kenny Anunike
On starting the year 3-1:
"It's been a while for Duke to have such a great start. Undefeated at home – it's been a while since we've been able to say that since I've been here. It's a great feeling but we want to maintain it. We're getting used to winning, which is a whole new mentality for Duke, which is great and we want to keep that rolling all the way through the season."
On wins being indicative of the program's progress during Cutcliffe's tenure:
"This is a new Duke program. Coach Cut[cliffe] has now definitely settled in to our program. We've definitely all bought in. We have a mature team now. We went into the locker room and we all knew what to do. We went in there and there wasn't too much hootin' and hollerin'. We knew that we had to come out and show them that this is our house. We wanted to maintain the fact that we were undefeated in our house and nobody's going to come in here and take that from us."
On Duke's maturation on both sides of the ball:
"Look at the offensive weaponry that we have, the defensive guys from the front all the way to the back safeties and corners. We just have a really versatile team. And when the offense is not clicking, the defense definitely picks it up, and then we definitely rally for the whole team. And then that also brings the offense along. And if the defense is not clicking, the offense is, so we're working a dynamic duo. But we want to make sure that moving forward, we're learning from these past three games that we need to make sure we're all clicking on the same page at the same time. Because if we're doing that, who knows what this Duke team – what new heights we can take this team to."
On limiting Memphis' offense:
"When you can hold a team to that few yards, that's definitely a statement, starting from your defensive front, knowing that we are run-stoppers and you're not going to penetrate us. And then also if the ball gets airborne, we've got guys that are defending passes and locking down coverage and they're going to take care of the ball any way they can."
Memphis Head Coach Justin Fuente
On the loss:
"Well it's hard to win a game when you get handled like that on one side of the ball. It's obviously not good."
On special teams play:
"They've been great. The kids are playing hard on special teams. They're doing what they're coached to do. They're playing physical and fast and tough and smart – for the most part. They've given us a chance. They've given us inspiration and life. We just haven't been able to come all the way through. It's three or four games now our kids have given us a chance in the second half. Heading into the locker room with a legitimate chance to win and we haven't been able to get over the hump."
On the third quarter:
"The defense just played a tremendous amount. Until we get better offensively, that's going to continue to just be a deal breaker. We've got to find a way to maintain a running game and possession of the ball. If you think back to, you had a big kickoff return and then a quick score and a punt deal and we scored and they're back on the field. Those are all excuses and I'm not going to make excuses. Duke thoroughly dominated us - their defense versus our offense, it's pretty evident. It's just hard to win when you get handled like that on one side of the ball."
On fumble recovery in the third quarter:
"We took a couple shots and didn't get them execute d and couldn't get it out of there. Had a tight punt situation, we just had to put the defense right back out there. The defense fought their tail off the entire day. They just showed heart and guts. The bottom line is it's not going to say the offense lost and the defense won. The Memphis Tigers didn't get it done. If it's holding them to zero points to win, then that's what we've got to do. If it's running the ball 50 times in a row and holding the ball and scoring three points to win, then that's what we've got to do."
On offensive rhythm:
"Rhythm comes when you make first downs. Early in the game, you guys see us, we kind of hunt and peck around there and move the ball pretty well then kind of get stagnated there. The rhythm comes when you are making plays and pitching and catching and running the ball and making people miss."
On the bye week:
"We have a bye week not an off week. We'll have several practices. We'll look at some young guys to get them some reps, some guys we're planning on not playing. We've got to go get better. We can't afford to take a week off. We've got to go get better. There will be a select few guys that we'll monitor but we're going to go get after it."

Michael Essien says he is confident Real Madrid have the quality to see off Galatasaray in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The Chelsea loanee has stressed that the Turkish champions should not be underestimated, but is nonetheless optimistic about Madrid's chances of making it to the last four.
"We have been playing well recently, and more importantly scoring goals, and we hope to keep it that way against Galatasaray," Essien said to The Sport Review.
"The squad is always ready for the big games and this is no different.
"They are an experienced side with Champions League winners in their side so they will pose problems, but as long as we stick to our game-plan, I am confident we can go through."
Essien is already looking further ahead than Galatasaray, though, and is determined to go all the way in the competition.
He continued: "Of course we understand the desire of the fans to win the 10th European cup. It's not only the fans who want it, the players, the management and the whole club want to win.
"The coach wants a third one, I want my second one [back to back], those who haven't won it before want to taste it for the first time and so on.
"Real Madrid want to be at the top and winning the Champions League is one way of being at the top."
Madrid last won the Champions League in 2001-02 when they beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1.

I would rather watch the second half of the 2007 Rose Bowl on a continuous loop with my eyes forced open Clockwork Orange-style, than view thirty seconds of that abomination "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
Thankfully Johnny isn't here to see that program sullied on a nightly basis by that shameless, piece of crap, hack Leno.
A little background, Jay, because I realize you only know about vintage cars and kissing ass: it is not "choking" when an underdog gets beaten soundly. And though it was surely a disappointment to lose another Rose Bowl, Michigan earned the trip to this prestigious game on merit, not by hiding in a closet and eavesdropping on the discussions of the Rose Bowl selection committee.

Two girls were left off the original email from the Three Rivers North containing the all-conference girls basketball selections.
Newman junior Julie Hurd and Prophetstown junior Heather Strike were omitted from the Second Team list.
Dixon's Bailey
co-MVP in NIB-12

Curie loses after coach reinstated
The day began with more optimism than Curie had felt in days.
Condors coach Mike
Oliver's suspension was lifted before he missed a game, and there was hope that the Stamps brothers would be eligible if they reached the sectionals.
The day ended with Cliff Alexander and his Curie teammates collapsing – literally and figuratively – on the King gym floor.
Four days after being stripped of its city championship and 24 victories this season for using seven academically ineligible players, No. 1-ranked and top-seeded Curie was dealt a crushing 88-85 overtime loss by DuSable on Tuesday in a semifinal of the Class 4A King Regional.

2013 McDermott Scholars Demonstrate Excellence, Diverse Interests
Aug. 12, 2013
The UT Dallas McDermott Scholars Program has selected 21 students to make up the 2013 incoming class.
The entering cohort was chosen from nearly 1,200 high school students in 30 states and five countries who had initially expressed interest in the program. Fifty-eight applicants were invited to the annual selection weekend, from which the final 21 students were chosen.
"I am so pleased that our institution and program will have the opportunity to benefit from the contributions of these remarkable young people while we help them to realize their potential."
The incoming class of 2013 will include eight students from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Ten others are from out of state, and one is from Romania. Collectively, this group has an average two-part SAT score of 1520. Eighteen of the 21 have received recognition from the National Merit Scholar program, five were high school valedictorians, and two were Presidential Scholar nominees.
"UT Dallas and the McDermott Scholars Program have again proved their ability to attract some of the nation's best and brightest students," said Molly Seeligson, director of the McDermott Program. "I am so pleased that our institution and program will have the opportunity to benefit from the contributions of these remarkable young people while we help them to realize their potential."
As McDermott Scholars, the students will have educational expenses covered for the next four years and will participate in a wide variety of cultural and educational enrichment experiences in the Dallas area and beyond.
The McDermott Scholars Program is carefully designed to incorporate various aspects of experiential learning:
• Freshman year includes an orientation trip to Santa Fe, N.M., weekly leadership development seminars and a trip to Washington, D.C., for an immersion in government operations.
• During their sophomore year, scholars take leading roles on campus, and experience state and local government during a trip to the Capitol in Austin.
• Junior year is focused on study abroad and/or internships.
• Senior year centers on final preparations for the next phase of scholars' lives and includes traditions such as a class retreat, capstone service projects and the passing of the McDermott Scholars Program torch in the "Lighting the Legacy" ceremony.
The arrival of this year's class will mark the program's 13th class. The incoming group will join the 62 scholars already in attendance at UT Dallas. The program has 142 alumni.
The McDermott Scholars Program was made possible by a $32 million gift from Margaret McDermott, wife of the late Eugene McDermott, one of the co-founders of Texas Instruments (TI). McDermott and two TI co-founders, Cecil Green and Erik Jonsson, founded the research institution that in 1969 became UT Dallas.

Just a FYI, everyone, that we're moving to a new server over the next day or two.
Yay, we're back!

Looks like a lot of posts got deleted from 7/13. That's a shame cause I posted the greatest post in the history of RZ this past morning.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
That likely means the move is officially completed. In hindsight, we probably should have shut down the board so that no posts were lost, but then the site would have been completely inaccessible, obviously. Short of doing that, there's no other way to avoid what happened...if we continue losing posts, we've got bigger problems, so please let me know if that happens.
I'm not getting the gatabase error message today but a lot of other spooky things are happening. For instance this thread shows that the last post was made by Wolfboy this morning but the last one I can access is Boss' from two hrs earlier. I'm also sometimes getting a message that forum administrator has denied access and then 10 secs later if I retry it goes through
When I tried to edit my spelling in the above post it instead showed me someone else's post to edit( none from KronoRed and I have no idea where it came from). I'm telling you things are getting spooky around here

An issue with drainage at the construction site of the West Elementary addition created some lengthy discussion for the Emmetsburg Community School Board during the July meeting on Wednesday, July 16. The board also handled several routine items prior to the start of upcoming school year during the session.
Superintendent Gary Richardson, in his first full meeting with the board, began the discussion on the drainage issue at West. According to Richardson, he, along with District Maintenance Director Tom Griffin, had met with the contractor for the building project to discuss a recent event where heavy rainfalls back in June had caused water to run into the newly constructed gymnasium, due to problems with elevations of the building site to the east side of the structure.
Richardson reported that after visiting with representatives of Kolacia Construction, the prime contractor for the project, a proposal to carry out some additional grading on the east side of the new gym had been formulated to attempt to alleviate water runoff problems.
"I am bringing before you a proposed change order in the amount of $9,420.06 for Reding's to correct the drainage flow into the correct direction away from the building," Richardson told the board. "Knowing that something needs to be done out their quickly, I am ready to make that call and tell Reding's to go ahead, but if you do not agree, we can cancel it."
Board President BJ Schany asked, "Just what is it we would be doing?"
"There is a six-inch tile there for the playground, and we are going to tie into it, basically to store the runoff until it can drain naturally to the storm sewers," Richardson said. "And, we will add some more pea-rock to the playground to hold a bit more water so it won't flood out the neighbors."
"I recall we met with the engineer when this was starting and told him where the water flowed to," Board member Scott Kibbie said. "He should have addressed this problem then in the plans."
"I agree," Board member Kathy Roethler added.
"So will this grading work and extra tile help?" Kibbie asked.
"If it doesn't, we'll have water in that new gym," Tom Griffin replied. "But, it will help. The city has a 15-inch main in the area now, and down the road, they are looking at enlarging it, but not in the near future."
"If they did that, could we drain into that?" Schany asked.
"I think we could, I don't know for sure," Griffin answered. "See, the city wants more retention of the water so what they have will carry if off and we want less retention so it goes away faster."
Griffin and Richardson explained that the grading plan would have a small berm of earth constructed to divert surface water to the east, away from the delivery entrance to the structure.
"So are Kolacia's fearing that's where the water will go in the building?" Schany asked.
"No, that's my fear," Griffin replied. "This plan isn't foolproof, but its' better than what we have now."
"It's pretty obvious to me we have to do something as soon as possible," Kibbie said, "but I'm very disappointed that we have to spend more money for something we discussed at the very beginning of all this work."
"You do have a year after work is done for a guarantee," Richardson reminded the board. "If it doesn't work, they have to come back and fix it. After that, I think you could challenge it."
"I think this is something that will help," Griffin said. "If we don't, I think we'll wish we had."
"This appears to solve the immediate issue," Board member Rick Brennan observed, "but I feel like Scott, it still needs to be addressed with the engineer and the architect."
With no further comments, the board approved the recommendation for the $9,920.06 change order for Reding Excavation on a unanimous 7-0 vote.
In other business, the board accepted the resignation of Bill Geelan as the Seventh grade basketball coach in order for Geelan to take the Head Varsity Boys Basketball coaching position for 2014-15.
The board also approved the recommendations of District Food Service Director Deb Goeders for bread and milk products for the coming school year. The lone bid for bakery products from Bimbo Bakeries USA of Dubuque was approved unanimously, as was the bid from Anderson-Erickson Dairy of Des Moines for the district's milk products.
The board also welcomed new High School Principal Mike Embrock to the meeting, as he told the members a bit about his family. Embrock and his wife have three children, a son who will be a senior and will complete that year at North Iowa High School. A son who will be a freshman and a daughter, who will be in sixth grade, will attend classes in Emmetsburg this coming school year.
"I'm very happy to be in town here," Embrock told the board.

On February 2, 2012, Advanced Animal Nutrition updated a voluntary recall bulletin with the FDA regarding several brands of dog food. The recall notice was originally distributed on December 8, 2011.
A recall has been issued for the following 50-pound bags of Advanced Animal Nutrition Dog Food:
- Dog Power Hunters Formula 27-14
- Dog Power Adult Maintenance Formula 21-12
- Dog Power Hi-Pro Performance Formula 26-18
The updated alert has expanded the lot numbers of potentially contaminated food. Any of the above dog foods purchased with these lot numbers should not be consumed by animals. The affected lot numbers are as follows:
- K0004 through K1322
- 4K1004 through 4K1322
If animals have consumed any of the products, it is wise to keep a sample of the food to bring with you to the vets office in the event animals become symptomatic. Animals who have consumed any of these food resources and display symptoms that include sluggish or lethargic behavior, an unwillingness to eat, heavy vomiting, a yellowish tint in the eyes or on the gums, or persistent diarrhea should be taken to a veterinarian immediately along with an undigested food sample.
Advanced Animal Nutrition is manufactured in Thayer, Missouri off Old Highway 63 South. The states most likely affected are Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. However, if you live outside the states of primary concern and use Advance Animal Nutrition you should still check the brand name, lot numbers, and date stamp and return the food for a refund.
Consumers with questions can contact Advanced Animal Nutrition at the following:
Toll-free: 866-648-7646
Direct Dial: 417-264-7300
For those who donate food to shelters please forward this information to your donation organization to help prevent an illness outbreak.

You also can sum the file usage of all files
find /usr/lib -maxdepth 1 -type l -print0 | xargs -r0 du -Lch
Suppose you made a backup of your hard disk with dd: dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/disk/backup.img This command enables you to mount a partition from inside this image, so you can access your files directly. Substitute PARTITION=1 with the number of the partition you want to mount (returned from sfdisk -d yourfile.img). Show Sample Output
First you have to create a directory in your system, where the fonts will be stored, and copy them.
sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/miscttf; sudo cp *.ttf /usr/share/fonts/miscttf
After recharge cache with the command
man tcptraceroute
The large context number (-C 1000) is a bit of a hack, but in most of my use cases, it makes sure I'll see the whole log output.
This command is much quicker than the alternative of "sort | uniq -c | sort -n". Show Sample Output
with discard wilcards in bash you can "tail" newer logs files to see what happen, any error, info, warn... Show Sample Output
/path/ is the root folder of the DVD, not the VIDEO_TS folder.
This will print out the third column of every line in FILE. Useful for many files in /proc or *csv data. Show Sample Output
Often, the very next command after the cd command is 'ls', so why not combine them?. Tested on a Red Hat derivative and Mac OS X Leopard Update: changed ${1:-$HOME} to "${@:-$HOME}" to accomodate directories with spaces in the names
Useful if you want get all the md5sum of files but you want exclude some directories. If your list of files is short you can make in one command as follow:
find . -type d \( -name DIR1 -o -name DIR2 \) -prune -o -type f -exec md5sum {} \;
Alternatively you can specify a different command to be executed on the resulting files.
Report fstat(2) and fcntl(2) information for all open files in each process.
This example summarize size of all pdf files in /tmp directory and its subdirectories (in bytes).
Replace "/tmp" with directory path of your choice and "\*pdf" or even "-iname \*pdf" with your own pattern to match specific type of files. You can replace also parameter for du to count kilo or megabytes, but because of du rounding the sum will not be correct (especially with lot of small files and megabytes counting).
In some cases you could probably use sth like this:
du -cb `find /tmp -type f -iname \*pdf`|tail -n 1
But be aware that this second command CANNOT count files with spaces in their names and it will cheat you, if there are some files matching the pattern that you don't have rights to read. The first oneliner is resistant to such problems (it will not count sizes of files which you cant read but will give you correct sum of rest of them).
Show Sample Output
grep 'HOME.*' data.txt | awk '{print $2}' | awk '{FS="/"}{print $NF}' OR awk '/HOME/ {print $2}' data.txt | awk -F'/' '{print $NF}' In this example, we are having a text file that is having several entries like: --- c1 c2 c3 c4 this is some data HOME /dir1/dir2/.../dirN/somefile1.xml HOME /dir1/dir2/somefile2.xml some more data --- for lines starting with HOME, we are extracting the second field that is a 'file path with file name', and from that we need to get the filename only and ignore the slash delimited path. The output would be: somefile1.xml somefile2.xml (In case you give a -ive - pls give the reasons as well and enlighten the souls :-) )
You need to install imagemagick. On Debian type: # apt-get install imagemagick

Kim Stoker, 42, had driven to Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley on Saturday night to pick up her cousin's two daughters, aged nine and seven, for a sleepover. Her 13-year-old daughter was with her.
"She said she missed the girls and asked could she come and get them for a visit," Heidi Stoker said.
The group was driving back to Ms Stoker's home near Maitland in a hatchback when the car collided with a sedan on a straight stretch of road near Tatler Wines at about 7.15pm.
The other car was driven by a 25-year-old Raymond Terrace woman, who had her five-year-old daughter and three-year-old son in the back seat.
Ms Stoker's younger sister, Heidi, said her family were astonished at the bravery of her 13-year-old niece, who pulled her two friends out of the car and used her mother's phone to call her father and the police.
The mother of four died from her injuries in the ambulance on the way to John Hunter Hospital.
A team from Cessnock District Rescue Squad used hydraulic cutters and spreaders to cut the driver's side of the sedan away and remove the Raymond Terrace woman.
She was taken by ambulance to Cessnock Airport, where she was transferred by Hunter Westpac rescue helicopter to John Hunter Hospital with limb injuries along with possible head, internal and spinal injuries.
The five children were treated on the roadside before they were also taken to John Hunter Hospital. Their injuries were not considered life-threatening.
Ms Stoker's daughter was still in hospital on Sunday night.
Ms Stoker's family and friends remembered her as a generous woman who could never stay angry at anyone.
"She was also so outgoing, would speak her mind to no end, loud, and you could hear her coming from a mile away," Heidi Stoker said.
She said her sister had been the glue that held her family together through recent challenges.
Ms Stoker and her partner of 19 years, Mark O'Neil, had lost their fourth child, a son, as a baby about 10 years ago.
Their 13-year-old daughter had a severe spinal condition that required regular appointments with specialists.
Mr O'Neil had become legally blind and stayed some of the week with his carer and Ms Stoker's widowed mother Debbie, in Cessnock.
Ms Stoker visited every day.
"She'd spend her last five dollars putting petrol in the car to come in and check on mum," Heidi Stoker said.
Mandy Perkins lived next door to the couple and their children for about 12 years and spoke fondly of the couple, saying they were due to marry in September.
Police attached to the Newcastle Crash Investigation Unit examined the scene, which is less than seven kilometres from Ms Stoker's home.
Inquiries are continuing.

Expansive Georgian Resort with Colonial Period Decor
With its orderly rows of windows and symmetrical chimneys, the stately exterior of The Founders Inn and Spa is an homage to Georgian architecture, a style named after the four Georges who ruled England during the 18th century. But the resort's interior pays tribute to one of the biggest thorns in the side of the third King George—colonial America. Oil paintings of the Founding Fathers peer out from gilded frames, and colonial-era furnishings sit around roaring fireplaces. The hotel is on the grounds of and owned by Regent University, a Christian school founded in 1978.
The historical theme extends to guest accommodations, where you'll find traditional furnishings and colonial-style bedding and decor. Some rooms overlook the carefully manicured english gardens.
Bacon-wrapped Virginia beef, pork belly with local peaches, and other dishes can be sampled at the award-winning Swan Terrace Restaurant, one of two onsite eateries. In the morning, the same space holds a breakfast smorgasbord on linen-draped tables stretching outside onto the brick-inlay terrace.
Hampton Roads, Virginia: Naval Center near Virginia Beach
The inn is located on the outskirts of Regent University in an area noted for its proud naval history and proximity to the Atlantic. Just north of the inn, the Naval Station Norfolk's piers and aircraft hangars form one of the world's largest naval complexes. Navy personnel lead guided bus tours and harbor cruises, narrating details of the station's battleships, submarines, and elite squadrons of rubber duckies.
To the east, the 3-mile Virginia Beach boardwalk meanders past public statuary, grassy park areas, and a fishing pier. Throughout the year, visitors take advantage of the boardwalk's bike lane and walking path.

What a mind-blowing experience it is these days to be Latino and living in the United States.
What a mind-blowing experience it is these days to be Latino and living in the United States.
The nation's 52 million Latinos look around the world and see endless opportunity, power and influence. Yet, closer to home, they see closed doors, glass ceilings, little power and even less influence.
Which reminds me. Now that a Latino - Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina - has been elected pope for the first time in the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church, do you suppose that President Barack Obama could find just one Latino to serve in his second-term Cabinet?
Despite reports that Thomas Perez, assistant attorney general for civil rights, is Obama's choice for secretary of labor, there has been no official announcement. The top three available Cabinet posts (State, Defense, Treasury) went to white males. Once again, for Obama, Latinos are an after-after-after thought.
Not only that. Putting Perez at the helm of the Labor Department would be an insult to Latinos. First, the job is small potatoes as Cabinet posts go. Next, a Latino has already occupied this space. Obama's first labor secretary was Hilda Solis, a Mexican-American. So, unlike having a Latino pope, there is no history being made here. And finally, Perez was responsible for trying to prove that Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz., violated the civil rights of Latinos. The case was dropped before the fall election, which didn't sit well with Latinos.
Of course, Cabinet positions are only one example of where Latinos in the United States get the short end of the stick. They're shortchanged by the school system, treated as scapegoats in the immigration debate, ethnically profiled by law enforcement officers, deported in record numbers by the Obama administration, written off by Republicans, neglected by Democrats, ignored by Hollywood, left out of the media, overlooked in a black-and-white paradigm, and treated disrespectfully by the rich and powerful.
Imagine how it feels for U.S. Latinos to watch non-Latinos gather on Sunday talk shows and not hesitate to offer their insights into the Latino vote, or what to do about immigration from Latin America, or how Latinos are changing U.S. demographics.
Imagine how it feels for U.S. Latinos to learn that - as hard as they're working - they are still lagging behind in graduation rates from high school and college, underrepresented in the ranks of CEOs, and scarce on corporate and nonprofit boards.
Not long ago, during a trip to New Mexico, a Mexican-American woman in her early 60s told me that she was surprised and saddened that Latinos were going backward. They're growing in population, she observed, but not in power. Growing up in the 1950s, she said, she had always assumed that, when she reached retirement age, Latinos would have accumulated enough influence to make a lasting contribution to this country. This isn't happening - not to the degree that it should.
Every time we mention how Latinos will, according to census estimates, account for 25 percent of the U.S. population by 2040, it only backfires by scaring non-Latinos into battening down the hatches and closing more doors.
And then these U.S. Latinos look toward Rome, and they see in the cardinals' choice of a new pope - Spanish-speaking and born in Buenos Aires, to Italian immigrant parents - an acknowledgement of the fact that Latin America is now home to more than 480 million Catholics. That is more than 40 percent of the 1.2 billion Catholics on the planet.
They see church leaders paying their respects to a population that will likely keep the institution afloat for the rest of the century.
Latin America is a young neighborhood. These people see that at least one corner of the globe is changing, and becoming more inclusive.
Then these U.S. Latinos look closer to home and come back to reality - that hard place where all they can do is keep working hard, and never give up, and wait for the United States to catch up with the world.

Folks, I have visions of sugar plums dancing in my head for the Reds lineup going forward.
Last night Billy looked WAY better with the bat than I expected. From scouting reports I thought he would look frail and overmatched against major league pitchers, but instead he look spry and even threatening at the plate, despite his thin stature. He also seems to have a knack for spraying the ball down the lines and inside the bags, which makes his speed that much more dangerous. I couldn't believe he was standing on second after such a short amount of time.
Walt -- sign Choo and put this lineup out there next year, please:
Hamilton CF
Choo LF
Votto 1B
Bruce RF
Phillips 2B
Frazier 3B
Mesoraco C
Cozart SS
What a fun lineup that could be to watch!

Writers' Theatre announced its 2013-14 season comprised of mostly premieres, including the Glencoe theater's first musical since "A Minister's Wife" and its first production of a Henrik Ibsen play.
Writers' season opens with the Midwest premiere of "The Old Man and The Old Moon" (Sept. 3-Nov. 10, at Tudor Court), a play with music by PigPen Theatre Co., established in 2008 by Carnegie Mellon School of Drama undergraduates. The play centers on a man responsible for collecting spilled light to refill the leaking moon. When he leaves his post, he throws the world into chaos.
William Brown returns to direct Conor McPherson's "Port Authority" (Oct. 29, 2013-Feb. 16, 2014, Books on Vernon), a series of monologues in which three generations of Irishmen chronicle their interlocking lives. The company's production of Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler" (Jan. 7-March 16, 2014, Tudor Court) reunites director Kimberly Senior and Kate Fry, who collaborated on last season's "The Letters" which closes Sunday at Books on Vernon. Fry plays Hedda, a savvy, manipulative woman stuck in an unsatisfying marriage whose scheming destroys the lives of friends and family.
Next up is the U.S. premiere of McPherson's adaptation of August Strindberg's "The Dance of Death" (April 1-July 20, 2014, Books on Vernon). A dark comedy about a failing marriage, "Dance" centers on a battle of wills between a military captain and his wife.
The season concludes with the world premiere of the musical, "Days Like Today" (May 6-July 13, 2014, Tudor Court), by Alan Schmuckler (music and lyrics) and Laura Eason (book). Director Mike Halberstam and music director Doug Peck, who collaborated on the recently extended "Sweet Charity," reunite for this show inspired by Charles L. Mee's plays and centered on a woman who swears off love, just as a handsome stranger arrives on the scene.
Subscriptions are available at the box office, 325 Tudor Court, Glencoe, by phone at (847) 242-6000 or online at writerstheatre.org.

A blizzard of potentially historic proportions that has already claimed lives in Canada is starting to pound the US Northeast.
At least three people were reported dead in Ontario, where an elderly woman collapsed while shovelling her driveway and two men were killed in a car accident.
Meanwhile in the US, up to three feet of snow is forecast hit the New York City to Boston corridor.
More than 118,000 homes and businesses have already lost electricity, mostly in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Some petrol stations have run out of fuel during the rush to prepare for the storm, and long lines of traffic have been reported at stations.
From New Jersey to Maine, shoppers have stocked up on food, water and power supplies.
Airlines have cancelled more than 4,300 flights.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick ordered all cars off the roads by 4pm local time on Friday, and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg advised New Yorkers to make it a night in.
"Everybody's going to get plastered with snow," said Massachusetts-based National Weather Service meteorologist Alan Dunham.
New York City was expecting up to 14ins (35.5cm) of snow. Mr Bloomberg said ploughs and 250,000 tons of salt were being put on standby.
"We hope forecasts are exaggerating the amount of snow, but you never can tell," he said.
Blizzard warnings were posted for parts of New Jersey and New York's Long Island, as well as portions of the New England region, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
The warnings extended into New Hampshire and Maine.
In New England, it could prove to be among the worst 10 snowstorms ever, and perhaps even break Boston's record of 27.6 ins (70cm), set in 2003.
It comes just after the 35th anniversary of the blizzard of 1978, which paralysed New England with more than 2ft (60cm) of snow and hurricane-force winds.
The last major snowfall in southern New England was, unusually, well over a year ago - the Halloween storm of 2011.

The scene has been replayed so many times it's fresh in their minds, so there's no need for any extra signage around the University of Alabama football complex.
The scene has been replayed so many times it's fresh in their minds, so there's no need for any extra signage around the University of Alabama football complex.
They can picture him, Johnny Manziel, running around dodging Crimson Tide linemen, losing control of the ball then regaining possession and firing a touchdown. If his Heisman Trophy season had a signature moment, that was surely it.
Alabama doesn't need any extra motivation or reminders, no "Never Again" posters slung up in the weight room or player lounge or locker room. They know it's almost Texas A&M week.
Preparation began Thursday.
"We did work on A&M today, that was kind of our first work on them and the players responded to that very, very well," Alabama coach Nick Saban said.
The team that had trouble slowing down Johnny Football a season ago is thrilled to have another chance at redemption, but no more so than any other game, they say.
"We're just excited for the opportunity we got," junior safety Vinnie Sunseri said. "You shouldn't really get excited for a certain game, you should get excited for every game if you're a true competitor like Coach Saban says."
It's the hottest ticket in college football and the hype is just beginning. The media coverage is sure to pick up, but until that time the team plans to take advantage of an off weekend.
"I'm going to the Hillcrest-Northridge game on Friday night, and then just go and relax, maybe go out on the lake a little bit Saturday," Sunseri said.
Will he sneak a peek at Texas A&M's game against Sam Houston State on Saturday?
While full game preparation may not have begun until Thursday, the coaches began to watch film on the Aggies, as it does with all opponents in the offseason.
"We kind of do it in stages," Saban said. "First of all, we look at a lot of opponents before spring practice. We make a menu of things that we want to work on during spring practice that are typically things that are different than what we would see from our offense when we play against each other because you practice against each other quite a bit in the spring. Then we do another study in the summer time of every opponent and do a scouting report, a pretty thorough scouting report on every opponent. The way I do it is we go from backward to forward.
"Obviously we've got a big challenge coming up next weekend playing against a very, very good team. A lot of outstanding players, fantastic quarterback and a very tough place to play. So it'll challenge our mettle in a lot of ways, especially our mental toughness, our ability to sustain, our ability to execute in difficult circumstances, especially when things don't go our way. So that's kind of the focus."

ST. LOUIS - A late surge from the Saint Louis baseball team powered the Billikens to a 7-2 victory over the Northern Illinois Huskies. Senior RHP Jerry Mancuso picks up the win, while freshman James Norwood threw well in his start. Norwood went five innings, allowing seven hits, two earned runs, four strikeouts and one walk. Mancuso went three innings with only one hit, one walk and three strikeouts.
The Billikens scored early in the second with junior Grant Nelson ripping a double to right center, scoring fellow junior Steve Fernandez. They extended the lead to two when the Huskies attempted to pick of junior Alex Kelly at second base, throwing the ball away and allowing freshman Alec Sole to score.
Northern Illinois tied the game up in the sixth. Norwood had held off the Huskies for five innings, but as fatigue set in, NIU ripped off three straight singles, scoring one. Saint Louis head coach Darin Hendrickson turned to junior LHP Jon Levin to turn the tide. Levin got out of the inning with only one more run, tying the score at 2.
The game remained tied until the bottom of the eighth, when the Bills took control. Nelson opened with a one-out single. Junior C.J. Rose ripped a double down the left field line, moving Nelson to third. The Huskies then intentionally walked Danny Brennan to get to senior Connor Gandossy. The four-year veteran stepped up and delivered with a deep fly to center, scoring the go-ahead run.
After Gandossy's sacrifice fly, the Bills came alive, scoring four more runs in the frame. After the smoke cleared and the dust settled, the Bills emerged victorious with a 7-2 win.
The Huskies and Bills will play again tomorrow a 3:00 p.m. at the Busch Sports Center.

I use mine quite often - it sits on my counter, mainly because it is too dang heavy to lift up and down from a storage spot.
I have arthritis in my wrists, so I use it to make hamburgers (if I'm making a lot) and meat loaf instead of mixing by hand.

Maria Sharapova showed last year that she didn't need extensive match practice to be a force at the Australian Open. She will have to repeat the trick again in 2013 after a collarbone injury cut short her involvement in the Brisbane International.
The world number two has withdrawn from the Brisbane tournament without hitting a ball in anger, citing the same collarbone inflammation that caused her to cancel an exhibition event in Korea last week.
There has been enough improvement to allow her to play groundstrokes but the 25-year-old has only just resumed serving and overhead shots, leaving her well underdone to take the court in her scheduled second round match against Jarmila Gajdosova of Australia.
Sharapova was quick to allay fears the injury would be an issue at Melbourne Park, where she made the final last year after overcoming an ankle injury and without the benefit of a warm-up tournament.
She will now head to Melbourne early to prepare for the Open and said she had no doubt she would be fully operational for the opening round.
"I still have quite a bit of time to prepare for Australia," Sharapova said.
"I'm on the right track, been training really well, so I just don't want to jeopardise what I've gained in the off-season so far.
"I have my own fair share of experience and know that it's much more important to be healthy to go into a big tournament like the Australian Open than go to into something big with a lot of matches and feel like you're not prepared health-wise.
"I just have to make a smart move here."
Sharapova had been corresponding with her doctor in New York, who advised her to continue her rehab and training rather than take a risk in a stacked tournament in Brisbane, where eight of the world's top 10 women were entered.
She said her result at the Australian Open last year, where she lost the final to Victoria Azarenka, proved she didn't need a serious tune up to hit the ground running in a grand slam event.
"It's much more important for me to be healthy and to be ready than to try to go out and play a few matches," Sharapova said.
"Last year (Melbourne) was obviously a good example but it wasn't the first time. It's very important for me to go into something like the Australian Open believing and knowing that I'm healthy, that I'm confident.
"I don't exactly need to play five tournaments in order to feel that way."
The beneficiary is Gajdosova, who avoids the powerful Russian and will play world number 116 Lesia Tsurenko from the Ukraine instead.
The winner will play a quarter final against last year's Brisbane finalist Daniela Hantuchova, who upset fifth seed Sara Errani of Italy 4-6 6-1 7-5.

Well, that was fast.
Turns out, some have already found a pretty big glitch in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. While we'll say it involves a certain character (not the one pictured above) on a certain stage, we won't ruin anything else for you. Those looking to stay pure from all of the spoilers that are on the net for Super Smash Bros. Brawl might want to avoid the area past the break.
You've been warned.

I did a two week trip to Tofo in Mozambique late last year and have finally completed updating my site with a comprehensive series of seven pages on the location.
There are two things that are really special about the area in my opinion - firstly there are the manta rays and whale sharks, which is what most people go there for. But secondly, and what made it really special for me, was the presence in Tofo of Andrea Marshall and Simon Pierce who are leading the research into the mega fauna through their foundation based there.
Their regular talks at Casa Barry at the end of Tofo beach are just fantastic and really made my trip one to remember.
The location pages on my site cover the area in general and why the mega fauna are there, the mantas, the whale sharks, the mega fauna foundation, Tofo dive sites overview, Tofo diving logistics and general Tofo logistics like how to get there etc.
Here is the link to the first page and just follow the links at the bottom of each page. Feedback welcome - learning as I go building my site...

Lady of Shamrock enters Saturday's Grade I $300,000 Del Mar Oaks with three stakes victories in her last four starts, two of them graded events with the most recent being the Grade I American Oaks on July 14 at Hollywood Park.
The second, third and fifth-place finishers in the American Oaks -- My Gi Gi, Best Present Ever and Stormy Lucy – are among eight rivals in the 1 1/8-mile turf event for which Lady of Shamrock is the 8-5 morning line favorite.
The 3-year-old daughter of Scat Daddy, owned by Hronis Racing LLC, started her run of excellent form with a victory in the China Doll at Santa Anita in March and followed that with another win in the Grade III Providencia in April. A nose defeat to My Gi Gi in the Grade II Honeymoon in June at Hollywood Park was avenged in the American Oaks.
"In the Honeymoon, she really had a bad luck trip," Sadler said. "She didn't get out (for running room) until too late and we were giving (My GiGi) seven pounds.
"She's had four works here, worked very well on Monday (6 furlongs, 1:12.60 on Polytrack) and she has a lot of natural staying ability.
"She won at a mile and an eighth at Santa Anita ( Providencia). She won at a mile and a quarter at Hollywood Park (American Oaks). So the mile and an eighth here should be good for us."
If there's reason for confidence in the camp of Lady of Shamrock, there's reason for optimism for the connections of My Gi Gi.
"She's as good as she's been for her last couple races, so we're pretty happy about that," said Peter Eurton , who trains the daughter of E Dubai-Relish The Thought for owners Conner & Jacobsen.
"You never look forward to battling horses like Lady of Shamrock but it's always fun," Eurton said. "She's not the only one we have to worry about, there's nine other ones. There's Eden's Moon, she's a very talented filly and several other good ones."
"In the American Oaks, Shamrock got a great trip and we got a little stuck there for a second. The race before that, (Lady of Shamrock) got stuck when she was much the best, really. The last one was more of an equalizer with both carrying the same weight.
"Her last race gave us hopes that we can go a lot farther than her (breeding) would suggest. E Dubai (progeny) aren't supposed to go that far, but she does have stamina on the dam's side of the pedigree."
Bob Baffert-trained Eden's Moon, a wire-to-wire winner of the one-mile Grade II San Clemente Handicap here on July 22 in her first start on grass, is the 5-2 second choice on the morning line.
"Eden's Moon will be out there winging and it will be interesting to see if anyone puts (early) pressure on her," Eurton said. "It's not as important (pace-setter pressure) at a mile and an eighth as it is at a mile, but it helps those with come-from-behind horses."
Days before the 2003 Pacific Classic, Hall of Fame trainer Ron McAnally watched from the balcony of Barn I overlooking the track as Candy Ride went a mile in just over a minute and 36 seconds, in his final major workout before winning the race.
Friday morning, McAnally watched from the same spot as Suggestive Boy went a mile in 1:37.60 under Joe Talamo, who will be up a week from Sunday in the $1 million race.
"It was a different track back then for Candy Ride, much faster," McAnally said. "But the way he (Suggestive Boy) did it, without really being pressed on at all, everybody was pleased. The owner , his stable manager, everybody."
McAnally said that from the balcony perch his top assistant, Dan Landers, had clocked Suggestive Boy on the trip around the oval from the seven-furlong pole in just under 1:37.
The names of 18 horses were placed in nomination for the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic on Sunday, August 26, as the deadline to sign up for the signature event of the meeting passed on Thursday.
Several of them were also nominated to one or more of the three other graded stakes on the weekend card of August 25-26 – the Grade II $200,000 Del Mar Handicap on Saturday, August 25 and the Grade II $200,000 Del Mar Mile and Grade II $250,000 Pat O'Brien Stakes. Pacific Classic post positions will be determined at a party Wednesday evening.
In alphabetical order, the 18 nominees are: Acaffella ( owner Jose Luis Guerra, trainer Victor Trujillo); Akkadian (Gary S. Broad, Julio Canani); Amani (Sumaya U.S. Stables, Neil Drysdale); Coil (Pegram/ Watson/ Weitman, Bob Baffert); Dullahan (Donegal Racing, Dale Romans); Game On Dude (Diamond Pride LLC/Lanni Family Trust/Schiappa/Et Al, Bob Baffert); Global Power (Luch Racing Stable, Tom Amoss); Jaycito (Zayat Stables, Bob Baffert); John Scott (Harris Farms Inc., Carla Gaines); Kettle Corn (C R K Stable, John Sadler); Norvsky (Johnston/Johnston/Riggio, Don Warren); Quail Hill (Great Friends Stable/Kenney/O'Neill, Leandro Mora); Rail Trip (Jay Em Ess Stable, Ron Ellis); Richard's Kid (Zabeel Racing Int. Corp., Bob Baffert); Riveting Reason (M.K. Cho Stables, LLC, Myung Kwon Cho); Suggestive Boy (Pozo de Luna, Inc., Ron McAnally); Where's Sterling (Frank Calabrese, Luis Ramirez) and Worth Repeating (AJL Productions/Gilman Racing/Goldstone, Michael Machowsky).
Pacific Classic tidbits from a backstretch tour on Friday morning.
--Trainer Julio Canani said 4-year-old Akkadian, an allowance race winner here on July 21, is "going to run" and will be ridden by Martin Garcia.
--Trainer Neil Drysdale is giving serious consideration, but has not definitely committed, to running 4-year-old Chilean champion filly Amani in the Classic. Garrett Gomez was aboard Amani, a winner of nine of 10 starts in Chile, in a fast-closing third-place finish in the Grade I Clement L. Hirsch on August 4 in her U.S. debut.
--Of trainer Bob Baffert's four nominees, three – Game On Dude, Richard's Kid and Jaycito – are solid, with the fourth, Coil, a back-up pending developments leading up to the race. Chantal Sutherland will ride Game On Dude, Rafael Bejarano has the call on Richard's Kid, a rider has yet to be determined for Jaycito.
--Eliseo Flores, stable manager here for trainer Myung Kwon Cho said that Riveting Reason, fourth in the seventh-race allowance here last Sunday, would be ridden back by David Flores in the Pacific Classic.
On June 29 at Hollywood Park, trainer Doug O'Neill acquired Quail Hill out of a $25,000 claiming event with Del Mar in mind for his Great Friends Stable clients.
Great Friends, an owning partnership group built around former radio and current UT San Diego TV personalities Scott Kaplan and Billy Ray Smith, has for the past few years put together a stable in the months leading up to the annual meeting here and largely for dispersal thereafter.
Quail Hill, a 4-year-old son of 2003 Pacific Classic champion Candy Ride, has finished seventh and fifth in claiming events on turf at the meeting. And, on Thursday, was nominated to the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic.
"We just thought we'd take a look," O'Neill said. "It's such a unique business model, Great Friends. It's a seven-week (collaboration). They live in this area, their main goal is to take care of horses and, when their horses are doing good, take chances and have fun.
"Quail Hill is doing great and longshots win every day. We have him nominated for the Del Mar Handicap and the Pacific Classic. We heard Acclamation was out, which definitely makes a big void in the Classic, so..
"He'll more than likely go in the Del Mar Handicap or a claiming race before the end of the meeting, but we'll keep an eye out and see what happens with the Classic."
CLOSERS – Ship and Win bonus-eligible horses on today's card include: Red Jag (3rd, Kristin Mulhall, trainer); Dance Humor (5th, Kristin Mulhall); Cozze Up Lady, Paula Capestro) … Trainer Barry Abrams is hoping an allowance race can be written for Lakerville, twice a winner at the meeting before being second beaten a nose in Wednesday's Green Flash Handicap, so the swift 4-year-old colt can run here again.

Community Center Update
March 7, 2013
An estimated 175 interested Emmetsburg area residents attended a public meeting to hear the vision of a community center last week....
So let me see if I've got this straight. You're currently raising funds to build the FIT Trail and the Community Center. Then in a couple of years you're going to need to raise more money to build the Marina. Is there anything else that you're going to be spending our money on?

CONIFER — Those that thought the Conifer volleyball team was going to disappear for a while in the wake of Emily Greenhalgh's graduation got an update Sept. 17.
"We lost a big player last year, we all know it, and I don't think our crowd was expecting us to be this great and we knew that we could be and we proved it out here," said Conifer junior setter Cara Walderman after the Lobos defeated the Evergreen Cougars 25-21, 25-18, 16-25, 26-24.

The Athenæum is both a room in Carleton's Laurence McKinley Gould Library and an ongoing program of cultural events held in that room. The term "Athenæum," popular in the 19th Century to denote an institution for the promotion of literary and scientific learning, is derived from the name of the Greek Goddess of wisdom, Athena.
The Athenæum is one way in which the library plays its role as a central educational and cultural institution of the college. In addition to serving as repository and gateway to the record of human knowledge, the library actively promotes use of the collections through discussion and debate of ideas. Through the Athenæum, the library hosts a wide variety of lectures, readings, discussions, book groups, and seminars. By bringing together people from different disciplines for intellectual discourse, Athenæum events celebrate the world of books, the life of the mind, scholarly and scientific pursuits, and the arts and letters.
Athenæum events are intended to enhance the academic and intellectual life of the college, and do not encompass administrative or strictly recreational activities and meetings. Athenæum events are open to all members of the Carleton Community, as well as to members of the Northfield community.
Contact: For further information or an application form, contact Cindy Spehn, Administrative Assistant to the College Librarian, at 222-4261 or email@example.com.

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has mocked French basketball player and current San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker.
Bolt hits a number of crazy trick shots - which I will leave you to decide if they are real or not - after telling Parker that his 'jump shots suck'.
Parker, who is shown the Jamaican's trick shots on what looks like a live television programme, responds by simply laughing off Bolt's trash talk.

A look back at area sports 10, 25 and 50 years ago
50 Years Ago
This week in 1963, the St. Marys Roughriders headed to Piqua in hopes of avenging their loss to the Indians from the season before. Defenses prevailed in the first half of the 1963 meeting, as the Indians clung to a 6-0 lead when the two teams broke for intermission. The Riders took the opening kickoff of the second half, and Tom Hollman raced 31 yards to give his team possession at the 36-yard line. It took ten plays, but the Blue and Gold eventually hit pay dirt when quarterback Ralph Hecht crossed the goal line from one yard out to knot the game at six. St. Marys' two-point conversion failed, and the score remained the same through the fourth period. Late in the final period, St. Marys received a punt near midfield and a few minutes later in the drive, Hecht powered in from a yard away to put his team in command 12-6 with less than two minutes to play in the game. The conversion was successful this time, as Hollman pushed into the end zone to extend his teams' advantage to eight points. The ensuing drive for Piqua died when Tim O'Reilly picked off a pass with just over a minute left, securing the 14-6 win for the Roughriders, who improved to 2-1 on the season.
25 Years Ago
This week in 1988, the Minster Wildcats volleyball team improved to 3-2 on the season with a three-game victory over the Russia Raiders in Russia. The Orange and Black blasted out to a 15-1 victory in the opening game, before slipping 9-15 in game number two. The Wildcats then easily took the rubber game, 15-4, to secure the non-league win. Sherri Bergman scored ten points for Minster in the victory, while Shelly Eilerman was right behind with eight points. Amy Cordonnier and Jill Grieshop added five points apiece in the Wildcat triumph.
10 Years Ago
Powered by a suffocating defense and opportunistic offense, the New Bremen Cardinals posted their first shutout of the season ten years ago this week in 2003, when they hosted the Parkway Panthers and sent them packing with the 21-0 decision. In the contest, the Cardinals held Parkway to minus-11 yards rushing in the first half and only 13 yards on the ground for the entire game. The Cardinals' victory was their first in Midwest Athletic Conference play in three outings, while overall they improved to 2-3 at the midway point of the season.

It's one of the most base aspects of the internet and helps to connect users to the resources they're searching for, but it's surprising how many developers out there don't know how to work with it directly. WebReference.com is here to help with that in their new tutorial looking at the basics of the HTTP protocol.
The article is actually an excerpt from the Sams book "Teach Yourself Ajax in Ten Minutes", but it's one of the better overviews that I've seen. It introduces what HTTP is and some of the base components (request, response, formats, etc). There are brief code examples along the way to help with formats of things like the headers sent back and forth.
They move on to the status codes that can be returned and what each means. With the basic knowledge of a message format under your belt, they get into an example - working with GET and POST requests via a simple form (and what it's sending).
