This was supposed to be a recipe for an easy version of apple pie, or at least that was my intent when I started peeling and coring four Granny Smith apples at the counter last Wednesday night. As part of my mission to avoid yet another kitchen disaster, I had been taking every possible easy route: choosing a simple recipe, peeling all the required apples in one step, doing that peeling while I was sitting down so as not to exert any unnecessary effort for something that might not turn out and not even using a printed recipe because I had memorized the basic steps from looking at them for so long, really analyzing whether or not I could trust this new combination of ingredients and steps and would it be worth the trouble? In most of life, this fragile attitude would be something to work through, but in this case, it really worked to my advantage. Each time I'd finish peeling one of the apples, its curly green skins spread out on the cutting board in front of me, I'd plop its … [Read more...]
it's been true for me
Listen, I know I've already posted 25 other cookie recipes here. So if you're thinking, another one? This girl is out of control! I can't argue. But hear me out: no matter how many other types of recipes I try---from cakes to soup to meat to vegetables---it's still cookies that I love the most. So did my grandma. I wish I could remember the first time I had a cookie---do you? The earliest I knew, I was stirring batter in Grandma's kitchen, anticipating the trays we would pull out of the oven, so it's as if I've always liked cookies and they've always been there, unlike kale or cheese or spinach or fish or something else I had to grow to enjoy. And it just makes me think that while there is certainly value in changing perceptions, there is also value in keeping some, in having a few things, such as my parents or my brother or the way it feels to laugh out loud at someone's story, that I have always loved. Cookies are like that for me. … [Read more...]
blue skies on a Saturday
I have been trying to write this post for the better part of two hours. I keep writing something and deleting it, writing something and deleting it. To be honest with you, I guess that is because I don't know what to say. A dear friend of mine got some very bad news this last week, the kind you never think you or someone you love will get, and she has been on my mind ever since. I wish you could meet her. I wish you could know the kind of friend who extends grace when you don't, who challenges you by example, who makes you laugh out loud with her stories. The kind of friend who, when you show up unannounced at her doorstep Wednesday night, welcomes you inside, no questions asked, comforting you more than you are comforting her, demonstrating faith in the One Who Made Her as you recount specific Providences together. … [Read more...]
just the ticket
I've been having a lot of bad luck in the kitchen lately. I mean, not that anyone's keeping track, but, in the last few weeks, the handful of times I've found to try a new recipe or carve out an hour to cook, the results were unimpressive (OK, with at least one exception). I made a squash and apple soup that had little flavor. I pureed pumpkin from a little $1.50 pie pumpkin at Meijer, and the three loaves of bread I made with it were barely edible---the one with pecans on top was the best, but even it found an eventual demise in the trash can. My version of candied sweet potatoes wasn't awful, but that's really the best endorsement of it I can give and, since when did making something not awful inspire anyone toward the stove? I decided, sometime this past weekend, that there were a few different conclusions I could draw from this: 1) I've been picking bad recipes (over and over again); 2) I've been eating so well everywhere else that my standards have risen and maybe these OK … [Read more...]
sometimes, through food
A lot of people say autumn weather pushes them towards the kitchen, towards the warmth of the stove as the sky darkens and the air chills, towards soups and stews and pies filled with apples. One of you even said here recently that this time of year means that the family comes inside together, to be wrapped up and warm, sipping hot cups of tea (I liked that very much). But can I tell you something? October has had the opposite effect on me. Instead of slowing down to come inside, I've gotten busier---busier in a good way, doing fantastic things like celebrating birthdays and touring new neighborhoods and visiting farms and, also, spending an early Sunday morning driving to Indiana a few weekends ago, to meet my beautiful friend Sue, whom I haven't seen since 2003 (!). Here's me with her and her perfect 10-month-old daughter that couldn't be cuter: We met at Sophia's House of Pancakes, where, while she waited, Sue told the owner I was sort of a food critic, which meant we not … [Read more...]
that's how you do a birthday
My brother turned 25 on Saturday. And while I could tell you a lot of reasons why this is significant, such as the fact that he is my only sibling and oldest friend or that he is the one person in this world who would talk to me on speakerphone the entire time I navigate through a detour in the city or who understands my parents in the way that we can just look at each other when we're all having a family dinner and we'll know exactly what the other person is thinking, I will tell you this instead, because this is important: he likes to eat. He really likes to eat. In fact, if quantity is any indicator, he likes it more than I do. He was, after all, the one who almost went to culinary school, the one who first took me to Swirlz and Bittersweet and Spacca Napoli. So, after telling you that, I guess it should be obvious now what he and I'd do to celebrate his birthday. It's what we would have done for mine, if we hadn't been fresh off a trip to Maine in which I'd eaten everything … [Read more...]
the fact of the matter
I am sorry to say I made several mistakes with this recipe---are you ready for this? To start, I didn't chop the kale ahead of time, so the pieces were huge when they got tossed with the pasta; also, instead of using the called-for full pound, I just used the bag of kale that came in my CSA, which was a mystery to me in terms of weight, and probably much less than 16 ounces; I was almost out of lemon, so I made do with what was left of some squeezed slices in the fridge; and, when it came time to add the Parmesan, I look back and see now that I was a little stingy. We're all friends here, so I'll just be straight with you: I make silly mistakes like these all the time. It's not at all uncommon for someone to e-mail me a typo or spelling mistake I've posted, for example, and that's not the sort of thing that inspires confidence in a girl who spends large parts of every day writing and editing words at her work desk. But it gets worse. A mistake I am always making, for … [Read more...]
the best things we do
If fall is a reminder of gradual change, these doughnuts are a reminder of comforting tradition, of the way clouds and sun streaked across the horizon above the pumpkin patch in the late afternoon last fall, of rows of cornfields and bins of fresh-picked apples, of taking a hayride with friends. We're going back to Kuiper's again this year, probably later than is best again, so the apples may already be in bins and we may need extra layers of clothing when we walk through the orchard, but I am going with a friend, and, I'm finding, those things I do with a friend are the best things I do, you know what I mean? Like last weekend, which was a people-filled one, from Friday night bakery and Greek food with my brother, to Saturday in the country with a group of food-loving strangers and Alicia and then cake at my friend Michele's, to a Sunday morning listening to Truth and singing with an auditorium filled with people, to lunch in the home of friends, where their two-year-old … [Read more...]

LyX and Lulu
I think it's likely that most of Lulu's authors use a word processor for their publications. Lulu's help system even provides examples on how to lay out your work from within Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.org. So, using LyX to publish your work will strengthen the professional look of your documents. Thus, even if you write badly, it'll look great.
Lulu.com is a helpful Web site, and authors can upload their work in many different file types. I think the safest way to maintain your work is to use .pdf or .dvi files for upload. This way, you're sure to maintain the nice typesetting look LyX provides.
Go to Lulu.com, and sign up for a free account. Then, look through the wide variety of products it offers. For extra fees, you can have Lulu.com help you with the layout of the book and cover design as well.
As a test, I used the LyX tutorial to see how well Lulu works. I exported the file in .pdf format (Figure 10) and used the on-line Lulu instructions to send my file. After Lulu accepts the document, it prompts you to select the binding type, color content and finally the cover design. When you're finished, you can preview the cover of your book and order a copy for final proofreading in the polished format. Each step of the way, Lulu calculates the price of your publication, so you can tailor it for the intended audience.
Lulu gives you several choices for publications. You can keep your uploaded documents private for only you to view, or you can release them for public purchase. You decide on the sale price.
As a consultant, I must keep client files and reports so only I can view them. Then, I order just the right amount for the project. After I'm done with the client work, I delete it from Lulu and keep one copy for myself in electronic format.
To get the word out on a self-published book, Lulu offers fee-based services through selected third-party vendors. But wait, this may not be necessary, because in my next article, I'm going to write how to custom create your book cover with Pixel.
There are many locations on the Internet where you can find tutorials and examples of LyX and LaTeX. Many are difficult to read and understand. My experience is that working with a few documents and following the guidance in the tutorials is enough to get you started with the program.
Moreover, since I've been using LyX, I get many comments on how professional the writing looks. As mentioned earlier, the benefits of LaTeX typesetting are really noticeable in larger documents. I think Lulu is a super partner for a good desktop typesetting program. It handles many text formats with ease, and professional binding always looks nice.
So go ahead, write that book you always wanted to write, and make it a best-seller with LyX and Lulu.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Police: Vermont murder suspect diesAugust 26,2013BURLINGTON Police say a Vermont man charged with first-degree murder in an elderly womans death has apparently died of natural causes at a hospital.
Vermont State Police said 76-year-old Carlton Bickford of Glover died overnight Friday while at Fletcher Allen Medical Center in Burlington. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday to determine the cause of death.
Lyndonville police said last month that Bickford told them he killed 72-year-old Rachel Coburn of Barton.
Coburn was found dead at her home from a gunshot wound. Lyndonville police said the two argued, Bickford left, got a shotgun and shells, and returned to the home, then argued with her again before shooting her. Police said he then tried to take his own life, but suffered only a grazing injury to his shoulder.MORE IN This Just InPARIS You cant put a guard in every church and patrol every beach.

The protagonist - a misanthropic Luddite Welshman living on a post-Singularity Earth where humans no longer die, but choose to be 'uploaded' to the Cloud, where they continue a virtual (and extremely tacky) existence - is extremely annoying for most of the text. Deeply passive, he is (often literally) dragged from one horrendous and painful experience to the next, continuously requiring rescue like an old-fashioned princess. (Note: Extremely graphic descriptions of various forms of torture and injury abound - somewhat gratuitous, in my opinion.) In each adventure, he is expected to 'save the world' in some way or another (the threats becoming increasingly dire), and thus finds himself (sometimes herself - gender is a construct, after all) in the odd position of having to defend a mankind he despises.
If you're looking for light, amusing sci-fi, turn elsewhere - this novel both requires and frustrates your full attention. It does have its rewards, but, unless you're fully conversant with all things gaming and internet-related, I'm not sure if the rewards are worth the slog.
At the start of the novel, Huw, the protagonist, wakes up with a bad hangover in a bathtub and the day gets worse from there. By the time the novel is over, Huw have changed sexes a couple of times and is uploaded to Cloud and desperately wants to be back in his pottery in Wales.
The story is fun and funny. There are some genuinely laugh-out-loud movements in the book. The story is exciting and surprising, but what ultimately sinks the novel for me is the ending. After all that has gone before - the ending feels a little anticlimactic - and I realize that might sound weird when saving the world is at stake. Stross and Doctorow are wonderful authors by themselves - and this book have wonderful elements. But they stay that way. Just elements.
I recommend this book if you like the authors and are somewhat familiar with the whole singularity idea.
As it progresses, the story of Huw, the luddite offspring of two genius parents, undergoes the most amazing transformation as it marginalizes fundamental religion, technogeeks, and politics, in no particular order. I would describe it as a post-singularity coming of age story. The puns are atrocious, the references obscure, and the plot line, multi-dimensional. In a world where transgenderfication can take place in a normal bathroom, the reader will find he can't tell the players without a DNA scan. I enjoyed this book as satire, as serious criticism, and as a bizarre adventure. If you are prepared to read this with your browser open to Google and a background in gaming and technology, this will be fun.
These two have teamed up in a new novel, The Rapture of the Nerds: A Tale of the Singularity, Posthumanity, and Awkward Social Situations. As the subtitle suggests, there's plenty of good humor and zany sci-fi fun here, including some friendly nods to the greatest comedy sci-fi writer, Douglas Adams. But the end result of this mish-mash of humor and hard sci-fi ultimately disappoints. Rapture is chock full of clever ideas, of both the scientific and the silly sort, and manages to weave a convoluted plot leading to the prevention of earth's destruction by an intergalactic, multi-species hive mind.
I really wanted to like this book. I am certain that Doctorow and Stross had a ball collaborating on it, and it will surely hold some appeal for fans of both. But I was happy to get to the end and be done with it.

So that means he won four points playing in five full matches. I mean, that's just insanity. The guy could do no wrong. It didn't matter when he was with Henrik Stenson he was a rock. He was steady. He made birdies. You know in singles he did what he had to do again in singles. It was just, the guy was just steady the entire time. And it's really not that big of a surprise. Look, he had a great summer which was, you know, overshadowed by what Rory McElroy did. So it's not that much of a surprise that he came in sort of under the radar. But for him to play that well, it was just a, it was a beautiful thing. The guy can do no wrong. Yeah, I wasn't surprised. At all either. And when you look at his career record he's now 9-3-2. Everyone talks about Ian Poulter and how he's got such a great record in this competition. He's the hero and the guy the Americans should really be targeting. Well you look at Justin Rose . He has a better, a, a, just as good of a record. If not a little bit better. He's a little bit younger. He's a little bit more consistent. So this is a guy who's gonna be a factor for the next two, four, six years, and really, was a crucial half point on Saturday afternoon in the foursomes. He kind of scrapped out a half point against Hunter Mahan in the singles. Those really all add up and it was a pretty impressive performance. And a tip of the hat to Graeme McDowell as well right. Three and zero, only played in three matches which is why you give the nod to Justin over Graemeend. That set the tone for a big Sunday for Europe. So Justin Rose is the guy but you got to tip the hat to G Mac. Yeah, it's hard for the U.S. to get a rally going if your lead off, if the guy in your lead off spot loses the opening match. But tip of the cap to G Mac. Tip of the cap to our man of the match, Justin Rose and thanks for watching. This edition of Innovative Performance presented by Ryder. We'll see you next time.
Golfing World: Gordon Brand Jr. talks Ryder Cup
Golfing World chats with Gordon Brand Jr., a member of the historic 1987 European Ryder Cup side, about his experiences in that amazing event and Europe's chances in this year's edition at Gleneagles.talisman for Europe. I think Seve was, was someone who saw the Ryder Cup , even though we hadn't won it, we got very close a couple times. And he saw that the team was. was understanding that I think we were capable of winning the, the tournament. And so he was a great influence in, he was a great believer in the European team. And, and anyone who's seen played. He played with a great deal of passion. And I think that integrated into the team very well. The 2014 Ryder Cup will be held at Gleneagles, Scotland and will come with a host of unique challenges. That said, Brand believes the course isn't the only important consideration. I don't think the course matters so much. You know, it's a match player event it's not a stroke player event. So, the the course has got some influence on it. But I think it's going to be great to have a Ryder Cup in Scotland at Glen Eagles which is iconic for now holidays and Kings Course and the Queens Course and we're playing the other course. So it should be a great event. And, and, and, and, and looking at the American team that come over, they seem to be blighted by Tiger. Some injuries and Johnson has had to take a break, so in a, in a sort of way that could be good for us. In contrast, Brand believes that the actual makeup of Paul McGinley's team will have little bearing on the outcome of the contest. You look at the podium when you know we were dead

Product Description
From Amazon
Anne Elliot, heroine of Austen's last novel, did something we can all relate to: Long ago, she let the love of her life get away. In this case, she had allowed herself to be persuaded by a trusted family friend that the young man she loved wasn't an adequate match, social stationwise, and that Anne could do better. The novel opens some seven years after Anne sent her beau packing, and she's still alone. But then the guy she never stopped loving comes back from the sea. As always, Austen's storytelling is so confident, you can't help but allow yourself to be taken on the enjoyable journey. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Stevenson has read all of Austen's novels for audiobook, in abridged or unabridged versions, and her experience shows in this delightful production. Though dominated by the intelligent, sweet voice of Anne Elliot—the least favored but most worthy of three daughters in a family with an old name but declining fortunes—Stevenson provides other characters with memorable voices as well. She reads Anne's haughty father's lines with a mixture of stuffiness and bluster, and Anne's sisters are portrayed with a hilariously flighty, breathy register that makes Austen's contempt for them palpable. Anne's voice is mostly measured and reasonable—an expression of her strong mind and spirit—but Stevenson imbues her speech with wonderful shades of passion as Anne is reacquainted with Capt. Wentworth, whom she has continued to love despite being forced, years before, to reject him over status issues. Listening to Stevenson, as Anne, describe a sudden encounter with Wentworth, one hardly needs Austen's description of how Anne grows faint—Stevenson's perfectly judged and deeply felt reading has already shown that she must have. Even those who have read Austen's novels will find themselves loving this book all over again with Stevenson's evocative rendition ringing richly in their ears. (Apr.)

Persuasion is Anne Elliot's story. The title's initial allusion is to Anne's brush with matrimony when a promising, but not rich, naval officer, Captain Wentworth, proposed and she fell in love with him at 19. But Anne's deceased mother's friend, Lady Russell, persuaded Anne not to make the match. Up until the time of the story, Anne hasn't had another suitor and she's now well past the usual age of marriage at 29 and "her bloom had vanish early." Her father's spendthrift ways mean that Anne could bring little money to a marriage so she's expecting not to marry.
While in her social class that lack of a husband is a drawback, in reality her family is a greater problem. Her father, Sir Walter Elliot, is a baronet who spends too much money, is obsessed by social rank, loves to be around the "beautiful people" and admire himself in a mirror, and keeps company with an unsuitable, scheming widow, Mrs. Clay, who is looking for a husband and has latched onto Elizabeth as friend. Anne's older sister, Elizabeth, is also unmarried and is as equally obsessed with social status as their father. Both Sir Walter and Elizabeth fail to value Anne and looked to her to suit their conveniences. The other daughter, Mary, is married but the connection doesn't thrill either Sir Walter or Elizabeth. Mary sees Anne as a virtual servant who should wait on her every beck and call when Anne is her guest.Read more ›
This book has meant different things to me at different times in my life. I have often reflected why I find the story so fascinating and believe it is because it so accurately portrays the human spirit and exposes our flaws and strengths with such transparency.
Jane Austen reveals those who are so superficial that they see no goodness or worth other than beauty and wealth (Anne's father and sister); those who are so dependent that they do not listen to their own heart - but instead leave their most important decisions for others to make (Anne herself); and those whose pride has been wounded.
And perhaps what is so captivating, Austen lets the reader vicariously "undo" an error in judgment. This is an excellent and timeless novel.
First of all, although I sympathized with Anne when he was slighted by her own family and she was taken no notice of in the company of foolish women just because she is not as pretty and "fragile" as them, maybe because she is not as strong and passionate a character as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, I could not particularly attach myself to her. Still, I read the novel from beginning to the end in a very short time because it has more than enough to keep our interest. Especially the character of Mrs. Croft, the sister of Captain Wentworth is worth notice; because among the "ailing" and "fatigued" women of the higher classes of that time, this woman who walks long distances with her husband, who accompanies him on long sea journeys and takes the reins of their carriage to manoeuvre out of the way of a post is very interesting. In this novel, Jane Austen says quiet a lot of things which can be thought quiet feministic. Well she says similar things in P&P, for example she makes Darcy say that Elizabeth's complexion is greatly improved after a long walk, when Bingley's sisters criticize her for such an unlady-like behaviour.
Another thing about the novel is that we don't really know the feelings of Captain Wentworth. It is true that the letter he writes to Anne at the end is full of love but I didn't feel his passion as I did Darcy's when he proposed to Elizabeth the first time.
All in all, I recommend the book to readers who have read Austen's other novels. But as a first read it may not be so enjoyable as Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility.
Since this was Jane Austen's last novel, and as it was written when she was near her deathbed, it is not nearly as well edited. There are some mistakes here and there that can be distinguished. Despite minor errors in the book, it truely an excellent read.
Persuasion centre's around a 28 year old Anne. When she was 19 she was engaged to a sailor named Wentworth, and the novel revolves around their relationship evolving and changing after an 8 year period of not seeing eachother. There are many unexepected twists and turns in this book, and although reading the back of the book reveals how the book is generally going to end (as one would likely have guessed while reading the book in its entirety anyway) you are never quite sure how exactly the ending is going to come about.
Jane Austen is a great author, and her works continue to endlessly impress me. Unfortunately, the book starts off quite slowly, and it did not really interest me until you learned more of Anne and her feelings. Despite a slow start, the book ended up really drawing my interest, and when I was nearing the end of the novel, I never wanted to put it down.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- If only Mr. Hogan were here to see this.
With the Fort Worth legend listed as one of his golf heroes, the suddenly indomitable Jason Dufner sits 18 holes away from completing a DFW double that -- as unfathomable as it may seem -- has been accomplished only once, and that was 66 years ago.
Not since 1946 when the great Ben Hogan captured the Dallas Open and Colonial National Invitation has a golfer won the Dallas and Fort Worth PGA Tour events in the same season -- and that double did not come on consecutive weeks. Only 15 golfers have pulled off the North Texas two-step in their careers.
Dufner handled the first part last week with a 1-stroke victory at the HP Byron Nelson Championship.
"That is a little bit crazy that somebody hasn't won both of these events back-to-back," Dufner said following his 4-under-par 66 Saturday to move to 15 under, good enough for a tenuous 1-stroke lead over Zach Johnson. "It's pretty difficult to win back-to-back events out on the PGA Tour, but you would think in the history of playing in these two tournaments that somebody might have done it."
The Nelson was Dufner's second win in his past three Tour starts on what has become a remarkable run for a 35-year-old golfer who's hardly been a household name yet leads the FedEx Cup points leaderboard.
"Making up for lost time," he murmured in his low and slow drawl in Colonial's interview room after Saturday's warm, humid and windy round.
To complete the historic double that would go down in Texas golf lore, Dufner will have to outduel an unflappable golfer. Johnson exchanged punches with Dufner on Saturday, tying him twice, then falling back 3 shots before missing a tying putt by less than a quarter-inch on the 18th hole in this 66th Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.
Saturday's playing partners, who have buried the competition to make this a two-horse race, will go at it again Sunday with a 12:55 CT tee time.
"I've played with Duff enough and obviously I've seen what he's done," Johnson said following his 5-under 65. "I didn't play New Orleans [site of Dufner's first win] and I didn't play last week in Dallas, but I've seen what he's been doing and he did that again [Saturday], so I don't foresee that changing. I hope he's getting tired, but that's not my concern."
Topping out at 16 under after a birdie and a par on Nos. 13 and 14, Dufner seemed to be in total control of Hogan's Alley. He's targeting not only his third win in four starts but also Johnson's 2010 Colonial course record of 21 under. But a couple bogeys on the final five holes combined with two Johnson birdies tightened things up.
The tournament record remains a possibility, but it's ultimately a Sunday victory and a rare seat next to Hogan that has Dufner's full attention.
"Any time to be mentioned in the same name as Mr. Hogan it's just a unique experience for me," Dufner said. "I've followed him a good bit, I've read as much as I could about him, I've studied his golf swing; anything that I could get my hands on that was associated with Mr. Hogan I tried to study or learn about.
"If I were to pull the victory off it would be pretty great company to be in and maybe a little piece of history for me to tell people later on in life that me and Mr. Hogan are the only two to win these tournaments in the same year."
Dufner's string of successes can be called a culmination of years of hard work and struggles and near misses and never-ending refinement. But there was little to predict such a bold run now.
Before the 2012 season, the Auburn grad possessed not a single career victory. He had just three runner-up finishes, two in 2011, and two third-place finishes with one coming last year.
Even before he captured the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in late April, the year was not going especially great. His best finish among his previous seven starts was a tie for 10th
Among two 24th-place finishes was another major disappointment, this time at the Masters, where he was the 36-hole co-leader. But dreams of the green jacket fizzled with consecutive weekend rounds of 75. That downturn only reminded golf fans of Dufner's 2011 PGA Championship slide, when his 4-stroke lead with four holes to go went down the drain.
Now here he is one round from being fitted for Colonial's plaid jacket, which Hogan was first to wear in 1953 upon his fourth of five career victories on this venerable old course. Dufner has beaten back 30 mph winds, 90-degree heat and stifling humidity and, of course, the field, one perhaps not as top-heavy as in Hogan's days here or as fearsome as some in recent years.
Still, there's no denying the consistent dominance Dufner is delivering as he bears down on a third Tour victory in a month.
Last week's win on the east side of the Metroplex netted Dufner $1.17 million and moved him to the top of the FedEx Cup standings. Another $1.15 million is on the line as he heads into Sunday's final round. The DFW double would push Dufner over the $4 million mark in earnings for the year, plenty to pay off the diamond he planted on his new bride, Amanda, who has been by his side for every round these past two weeks.
It's been quite a run, one that has left even his fellow golfers, his competitors, wide-eyed and rooting him on.
Still, 18 holes remain, as does a threat in Johnson that isn't going away.
"He's playing with a lot of confidence and things are going his way," said Jim Furyk, tied for seventh but 11 shots behind Dufner. "I hope he rides it out. I've never been on a run that good. I've had chances, but I've never gone back-to-back."
Surely Mr. Hogan would approve.

Hedman, Bishop lift Lightning over Maple Leafs
Published: Monday, March 28, 2016 at 10:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 28, 2016 at 10:40 p.m.
TAMPA — Victor Hedman had a goal and an assist, Ben Bishop made 34 saves and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Toronto Maple Leafs to move into a tie for first place in the Atlantic Division.
The Lightning's other goals came from Mike Blunden and Ondrej Palat. Steven Stamkos and Erik Condra each had two assists.
Bishop got his first career shutout against the Leafs. It was his sixth shutout of the season and 18th of his career.
The Lightning and Florida Panthers are tied with 93 points. Florida faces Toronto on Tuesday night.
Leafs goalie Garret Sparks made 15 saves.
Toronto still has the fewest points in the league with 65 but didn't play like the worst team in the NHL. They ran into a goaltender with the league's second-best goals-against average.
Up 2-0 after one period, Tampa Bay added to the lead when Hedman took Stamkos' feed and beat Sparks high to the blocker side at 6:38 of the second.
Bishop made crucial stops on Milan Michalek and Nazem Kadri in one sequence late in the second period, and the Leafs outshot the Lightning 14-4 in the second.
Toronto owns the league's worst road power play and missed on all seven of its chances with the man advantage.
The Lightning opened the scoring with some hustle from Condra. He negated an icing call, and then fed Blunden in the slot for a snap shot at 7:34 of the first period.
After serving a tripping penalty, Palat added to the lead at 14:29 when he swatted a rebound between Sparks' legs.
NOTES: Stamkos has five goals and four assists during a current six-game point streak. ... This was Bishop's first meeting against Toronto this season. Andrei Vasilevskiy started the four prior meetings and went 3-1. ... Valtteri Filppula returned to the Lightning lineup, but forwards Ryan Callahan and Nikita Kucherov remained out with lower-body injuries. ... Toronto is 11 for 115 on the power play on the road. ... Tampa Bay plays Montreal on Thursday, the fifth contest in a six-game homestand.

The effects of the Psychological Sense of Community in on-line and face-to-face academic courses
Recent studies have shown that the Psychological Sense of Community (PSoC) felt by students plays a key role in affecting their performance, satisfaction and persistence in academic degree programs. Hence, the lower student performance and higher dropout rates suffered by on-line courses in comparison with their face-to-face counterparts are often traced back to lower levels of PSoC caused by the lack of physical interactions among students who learn at a distance. The aim of this work is to und

MArCo: Building an Artificial Conflict Mediator to Support Group Planning Interactions
The emphasis on building co-operative/collaborative environments has brought out the matter of group interactions. This, in its turn, has highlighted the issue of conflicts, inherent to group problem solving. If well employed, conflicts can act as triggers of cognitive changes, and thus help to refine the group's solution to the task. In this paper, we present a computational framework for detecting and mediating Meta-Cognitive conflicts. The theoretical framework presented here enables a comput

It was an honor to return to The Courier-Journal in August 2012 to become the paper's new sports recruiting writer. I learned much of what I know about journalism from my four years as a sports copy editor at The C-J, and I'm thrilled to be back at the paper as a reporter.
I spent 2 1/2 years as the recruiting editor at CatsIllustrated.com - part of the Rivals.com network - covering the University of Kentucky's recruiting. I am eager to continue reporting on the Wildcats along with the University of Louisville, Indiana University, Western Kentucky and many of Kentuckiana's college-bound athletes.
It's a great job that I'm proud to have. The summer basketball AAU circuit is one of the most fun, entertaining events I've ever covered, and the weeks leading up to February national signing day in football can be as intense as any competition in sports.
Following your favorite team's recruiting news can become addictive, and no matter what the current state of your team's season, it's always fun to look ahead to who's next to join the fray.
I hope to keep a thorough, running tab on your future Cats, Cards and Hoosiers on this blog.
