INDIANAPOLIS � A development that clearly proved problematic for Duke in the Midwest Region final was Louisville confining Seth Curry�s production on offense to an unsustainable bust.
Curry had averaged 24 points in Duke�s previous three NCAA Tournament games and was coming off a sweet-shooting performance of six 3-pointers and 29 points against tough-minded, defense-driven Michigan State in the Sweet 16 round.
The senior guard struggled Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium, shooting 3-for-9 from the field and scoring 12 points, with eight supplied during a fleeting, two-minute span early in the second half.
Apart from that brief stretch � during which Curry nailed a pair of 3s from the corner as the Blue Devils successfully navigated Louisville�s press � he was reduced to a non-factor by the Cardinals in the 85-63 rout that ended Duke�s season a game shy of the Final Four.
�I was trying not to force it,� Curry said. �They did a good job of being conscious where I was at all times and switching a lot of stuff. Credit them.�
With Louisville swarming from the start, Curry, Duke�s leading scorer on the season, went scoreless in Sunday�s first half. He took three shots from the field in the first half � the first attempt finally coming 8� minutes into the game � and two were rejected by Cardinals shot-blockers.
Ultimately, Louisville�s quick, aggressive defense became as complicated to explain as it was difficult for Curry to operate against.
Afterward, in the Duke locker room, Curry said �they were throwing two bodies at me� while a few feet away point guard Quinn Cook said �they went kind of like a box-and-1 on him.�
Based on coach Rick Pitino�s post-game comments, Louisville�s plan was to trap Curry on his touches in the frontcourt � meaning as Duke advanced through the Cardinals� zone press � and then quickly shift into man-to-man coverage while the Blue Devils began to work their half-court offense.
�I felt that if we could keep them out of transition and keep the 3 away from (Curry), we had a great chance of winning,� Pitino said.
Louisville point guard Peyton Siva (6-foot) and swingman Luke Hancock (6-6) primarily guarded the 6-2 Curry in man-to-man assignments.
�In the first half, we held him to zero points and he couldn�t really get going,� Siva said, referring to Curry. �Second half, I gave him a couple 3s and Coach P told me I had to get off him and Luke had to get on him.
�Luke did a great job in the second half, really containing him, not letting him go by him. It�s actually pretty funny, because Coach P tells Luke he�s the worst defender in the world. But Luke wanted to show him up (Sunday) and did a great job in the second half.�

For those of you who don't know about the Acquisitions Incorporated D&D games, it's a game comprising of the two brains behind Penny Arcade (Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins), Will Wheaton, and Scott Kurtz. They're sent off on a range of adventures in the usual D&D way by their DM, Chris Perkins, and hilarity pretty much always ensues as said adventures progress. They don't play a lot of sessions, only one a year really these days, but I've always found those sessions to be well worth watching/listening to when they come around.
For the last three years at PAX East they've run a live session in front of an audience, filmed it, and had Wizards.com post it up for the world to see. With PAX East having just finished for 2012, a new adventure awaits us once more
This version hasn't been edited down yet, as they usually do for the Youtube copy, so it's the full 2 and a bit hours to enjoy. I'm still watching as we speak, but much as in previous years it's well worth a watch if you can find the time.
Enjoy guys, anyone who is interested

Trimble Announces More Autopilot and EZ-Steer Platforms
Trimble announced today the latest additions to its Trimble® AgGPS® Autopilot™ platform kits for tractors, combines and sprayers, adding 110 new models of machines since August that are compatible with Trimble's Autopilot system.
This brings total machines compatible with the hydraulically-controlled automated steering system to more than 450 models and more than 18 brands. The Trimble Autopilot system, which can be ordered on new tractors or retrofitted to a farmer's existing machine, connects directly to the vehicle's steering hydraulics to automatically guide the vehicle for maximum precision and increased productivity.
The addition of these new platform kits allow farmers more freedom to outfit their existing equipment with technology they may already have on another vehicle. It also provides an affordable option to update their current vehicles with the latest guidance technology rather than purchasing new vehicles in today's economy.
"Our system also offers greater flexibility for farmers to move their Autopilot system from one machine to another should they decide to change tractors in the future," said Erik Arvesen, Trimble's general manager of Agriculture. "This is a great option for farmers to adapt their existing steering system to whatever supported vehicle they are running, providing significant cost savings over purchasing a new vehicle. We use larger hoses and valves for better hydraulic flow and performance, creating less strain on the parts which can lower replacement costs. Also, all parts are designed by Trimble for unsurpassed quality and reliability."
The Trimble Autopilot system connects directly to the vehicle's power steering system. Using the in-cab display, farmer's can select from straight, curve, pivot, and headland field patterns and view the system operating on screen. Once the Autopilot system lines up the vehicle at the beginning of a row, the automated steering guides the vehicle smoothly while the display provides visual feedback of the course. Trimble's T3™ terrain compensation technology allows the Autopilot system to operate on slopes and rough terrain. Inertial measurement technology corrects for roll, pitch, and yaw to ensure that the vehicle is where the operator wants it to be, even on the roughest ground conditions.
For farmers who prefer the convenience and flexibility of steering-wheel mounted automated steering, rather than through their vehicle's hydraulic system, Trimble's EZ-Steer® 500 assisted steering system is now compatible with more than 26 vehicle brands . Since July, Trimble added another 125 supported vehicle models, bringing the total number of EZ-Steer compatible platforms to 850 vehicle models.

Get a picture while you can.
In April, 2007, I wrote a post titled "Two Red Barns on Edwards Mill Road" that included morning and evening photos of a couple of old barns.
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to drive down Edwards Mill Road on my way home. I was shocked when I saw that both my red barns had fallen down, sometime during the winter. I don't know if they were bulldozed, or if a bad wind toppled them.
One day this week, I decided to photograph them in their fallen condition. I was too late. The farmer has burned them and bulldozed their remains into a couple of piles. In a year or two, there will be little to suggest that those barns ever existed.
I know they weren't important structures, but I liked them. I'm glad that I have a nice photo of them.
I didn't do so well with another old building. About a year ago, a large farm in our neighborhood was sold at auction. The property included an old white farmhouse with a big front porch. It had stood empty for a number of years.
I had been inside the house a couple of times. It had an old-time floor plan with a large central entrance hall. I'm sure it was well over 100 years old. I had always wondered if the house might be made of logs under the siding.
One night several months ago, I came past that farm on my way home. I noticed the glow long before I knew what was burning. As I came closer, I saw that the old house was on fire. Flames were shooting through the roof. The whole area was illuminated. It was a frightful sight, but it appeared to be a planned burn. The owner was standing by with a bulldozer and a crew of helpers, and the fire department was nowhere in sight.
I wish I had a picture of that old house, but I don't. However, I did happen to find a 1930s photo of a Christian County, KY, house that is similar. Therewith, I must be content.
I hope I've learned my lesson now. This is not the first old building that I should have photographed, but didn't!

About DiS users' albums of 2012...
I understand the kind soul from last year said he would be willing to do it again. But really we should spread around the responsibility, so I'm willing to throw my hat into the ring. It would start on the 1st of December and I'm considering extending it to ten entries (we're all list fanatics after all). Everyone good with this?
Yeah, ok
These are the albums I've heard from this year:
Kinny - Can't Kill A Dame With Soul
Bob Dylan - Tempest (my Dad copied it for me, I've listened to it 1.5 times I think so far).
The first one is my AOTY, please allocate points accordingly.
Yeah I should add...
This is not the voting thread itself.
But I might not be around on the 1st of December
I would like to appoint you proxy to vote for me. I think something like a 13:2 split in my points allocation in favour of Kinny would be about right.
Kind regards.
Nah, s'alright.
I'm sure medulla will do a grand job, again.
If he's too busy or would rather someone else do it, then fine.
If it ain't broke, though...
Medulla said he was going to do it and we discusses it's format.
Keep it at five. Keep it one list. Keep it ranked. Keep it public. It has been done that for years - more yeara than I have been posting.
Don't do this.
Keep it secret.
Keep it safe.pichaelmarker, justanothersheeldz, and furio this'd this
We should let MPBH_IV do it
That'll get it doneSevered799 and Antelope this'd this
No, I nominate deep-blue
That way we know it'll get over 50 replies.Comaboy this'd this
The only thing I would've considered changing was the amount of nominations, but we can scrap that
Will just wait to see what Medulla says, but I'm game in any case.
Hmmm, 5 vs 10 nominations
Pro's of 5 nominations
i) I would guess a lot of folks don't buy 10 albums in the year of release (but might have done so by half way through the next year), so you'll not get 10 albums from quite a lot of people
ii) 5 fits with previous years
Cons of 5 nominations
i) if you have bought quite a lot, one might feel predisposed to highlight the stuff you want to show up in the list, rather than what you feel are your five favourites (just to give them a chance of having a mention)
ii) If you have bought quite a lot, 5 IS JUST NOT ENOUGH DAMMNIT.
7.5 anyone? (you can use the 0.5 for an album you're very undecided about...)
does anyone wanna suggest THE RULES and then
we can debate the rules in this thread, rather than in the voting thread.
same as last year pls
like kik said, we seem to be trying our best here to fix something that isn't at all broken.
you mean like this tread
by Medulla a few weeks ago?
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4420340automatik this'd this
This is what happens when Openreach takes two months to tell you your phoneline has already been activated...
(and hence no internet). Sorry medulla, you seem keen so its all yours.
you should have 100 points which you can allocate to 5 albums however you like
^really good idea that no one will listen toshrewbie this'd this
Aww, I like doing it.
I'm happy for suggestions as to how it could be amended - as highlighted in the thread I started a couple of weeks ago - but I'd really like to do it again.
Do it
I think the majority would prefer no changes too, so just keep it the same.
Are people happy with top 5?
The other suggestion would be a 10, with 10, 9, 8, 7, etc points for albums, and if you only choose to put 5 then they get 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, respectively? Or is that tampering with a format that's worked for the past X number of years?
- furio this'd this
10 pls
Yeahfunkycow, shinymcshine, El_Goodo, and OvertakenByTractors this'd this
- BMS1, automatik, furio, Icarus-Smicarus, avl06, robluvsnic, and Antelope this'd this
5's rubbish
damn it.
How about 5-10?
then if people haven't heard so many, they can just name 5 but if 5 ain't enough they can name more
It's December
*twiddles thumbs anxiously*pichaelmarker and Pale-eyedBadger this'd this
- automatik this'd this
Kinda the same here
Tall Ships vs. Hot Chip basically. Seriousface indie rock vs. fun electronic pop. Hmmmmm.
Occurred to me in the shower just now (which proves how sad I am)
There's no one obvious winner this year, is there? Certainly publications may be more or less predictable, but who do people think will win the DiS board AOTY?
If I had to call it, I guess maybe Grimes... Not necessarily going to top a lot of lists, but likely to feature in a lot of top fives I'd have thought. Or SVE, maybe GY!BE...
dark horse vote would be Swans
Oh yeah Swans
That'll probably take it.
Not Grimes
It is hard to call (compared to 2011) because many of the best-loved records have a fair number of detractors (Swans, Frank Ocean, Chromatics). Plus the likes of Deftones, Kendrick Lamaar etc. may not have been around long enough. Dark Horses could be Purity Ring or Tame Impala (at least I think so).
When it came out it seemed to be regarded as an instant modern classic
Now everyone's like 'yeh it's alright'
Not sure when that happened.
I love it more now than when I reviewed it.
who's gonna start the thread then?
It will seem too 'official' if I do it.
I think medulla will
I was keen because I get all giddy around list season...but best stick with an expert.
That'd be me.
Patience, guys.

Flash crash in Germany? Well, not quite.
The German DAXX dropped about 180 points in less than 10 minutes just after opening this morning, it's fourth decline in as many days. It was a rapid, unusual decline, and there were plenty of rumors floating around, none of them verified.
France also dropped, now down 1.6 percent, while Germany is down 1.7 percent.
Meanwhile in the ping-pong U.S. stock market—down 234 points on the Dow Jones Industrial Average Monday, up 160 points on Tuesday—it's not good for active traders. These ping-pong moves strip daily traders from their protection. You can't hedge yourself very easily when the market ping-pongs like this, so what happens is the long-term investor usually ends up doing better than the short-term investor. Of course, you can just get out, but no one is paying you two and 20 to sit in cash.
1) Big week for IPOs continues. New York grocer Fairway (symbol "FWM"), which focuses on organic and natural foods, priced 13.7 million shares at $13 each, above the price talk of $10 to $12. The company first filed for an IPO last September, but delayed the offering for months after super storm Sandy, which closed one of the company's store location until just last month. FWM will debut on the Nasdaq and plans to use proceeds to expand store growth.

Anyone who thinks their Verizon fiber connection is fast ought to spend a week hanging out in East Asia.
According to an informal survey of advertised global broadband speeds conducted by IDG publications around the world (IDG publishes Network World and ARN), East Asian countries boast some of the fastest advertised connections around, with four countries featuring at least one carrier claiming average download speeds of 100Mbps or higher.
RELATED: Advertised broadband speeds actually pretty accurate, FCC finds
ANALYSIS: Breaking down the carriers' 4G wireless spin
The leader of the pack is Hong Kong, with advertised broadband download speeds of a whopping 300Mbps and 300Mbps upload speeds to match. Other East Asia countries in the 100Mbps download club include Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, all of which have at least one ISP advertising those rates. Other countries that have ISPs advertising 100Mbps or higher speeds are Poland, Germany and Canada.
What's even more impressive than some of the advertised speeds in many of the 100Mbps+ countries is the service prices. Hong Kong's 300Mbps service, for instance, costs just $40 a month and includes television service. Taiwan's 100Mbps service, meanwhile, costs $US24 a month, while South Korea's costs $31 a month. In the US, by contrast, 25Mbps Internet access will run you about $US75 per month and doesn't include television.
In terms of bang for the buck, Hong Kong came out on top in the informal survey when you look at cost per megabit (which we calculated by dividing the cost by the combined download and upload data rates). Hong Kong only charges six cents per megabit, followed by South Korea (16 cents per Mb), Taiwan (22 cents per Mb) and Bulgaria (27 cents per Mb). The United States' top service, meanwhile, charges $US1.50 per megabit.
Although the IDG survey of countries is informal and unscientific, it does broadly align with past findings from other studies on broadband speeds that have shown the United States lagging behind other countries. The latest data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), for instance, shows Japan and South Korea near the top in terms of average advertised broadband speeds, while countries such as Sweden, Portugal and France also fare well. According to the OECD, the US has an average advertised broadband speed of just under 15Mbps, well behind most of the industrialized world.
The Federal Communications Commission has stepped up its efforts to collect accurate data on Americans' broadband speeds over the past two years as it has launched its own do-it-yourself connection speed testing program on the Broadband.gov website to help consumers "test their broadband service and report areas where broadband is not available." Taking the test requires users to list the address they're accessing the Web from and also whether they are using the Web at home or at a business. From there, the test measures the connection's download and upload speeds as well as its latency and jitter.

Loving the BITE: Quick Avocado Smoothie Meal
There are many reasons why athletes look to convenient ready-to-eat meal replacement drinks and bars. As noted, they are convenient. Ready to eat with no preparation. And, many of us, tend to be busy. When I first began working with serious athletes, I didn't really anticipate the stress level that often occurs with busy schedules exacerbated with demanding training.
Don't get me wrong, exercise is a wonderful stress reliever for the body. But, waking up early, squeezing in hours extra training hours, and any racing on the weekends takes its toll. Many people, just trying to be fit, may spend 3-6 hours per week working out. But many serious cyclists and endurance athletes, on the other hand, spend much more.
And, while we all must find ways to work through the schedules, simplify our lives, and de-stress, it can be difficult to find time for fresh healthy foods. But, it's worth it. And, if you take a bit of time to prepare a big batch, smoothies can become as convenient as store-bought meal replacement drinks (not to mention much better for you and better tasting)!
Recipe of the Week: Meal Replacement Avocado Smoothie
- 6 oz. Greek yogurt, 1 scoop (20 gm) protein powder, or 2 oz. extra firm organic tofu
- 1/2 Tbsp organic coconut oil
- 1/3 avocado
- 1/2 cup greens (mixed, spinach, etc.)
- 1 cup berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 Tbsp mint leaves (optional)
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseeds or whole chia seeds
- 2 tsp organic/raw honey or real maple
- water or ice as needed for desired consistency
Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Try also making 4-6 servings at a time. Freeze individual servings in containers such as mason jars (leaving an inch at the top for expansion), and allow to thaw in the ridge 24 hours before needed.
First, what makes a good meal replacement? I look for these nutrients and attributes:
Whole Food Nutrient-Packed Carbohydrates: The vibrant fruits in to this smoothie make a great whole-food source of carbs. They pack antioxidants, phytochemicals, and fiber.
Vegetables: Anytime you can include vegetables in your meal, you should. Loaded with disease-fighting components, enzymes, and more.
Protein: Greek yogurt, protein powder, or non-GMO organic tofu offer a good, highly bioavailable source of protein.
Healthy Fats: Avocados, coconut oil, and flaxseeds seeds are all great sources of fats providing omega-9s, medium chain triglycerides, and vegetarian omega-3s. If you're drinking it right away, you can use chia seeds instead of flaxseeds if you'd like. If freezing or saving, these may gel up too much and make it more of a pudding than a smoothie.
Fiber: This smoothie provides 12 grams of fiber. This is a great amount of fiber for any meal.
Adequate, but not too many calories: As written, this smoothies packs approximately 400 calories, 38 grams carbs, 12 grams of fiber, and up to 23 grams of protein. If you're looking for about 100 more calories per serving, increase both the avocado and yogurt/protein powder/tofu by 50%. Many times, I see meal replacements sub-250 calories, which is often too low for a meal and leaves you too hungry later in the day. They are also often high in sugary carbs, and low in healthy fats and fiber. And, of course, they are not fresh or raw.
But ours, is LOADED with fresh nutrients. Here's why you should stock up, use, freeze, and blend avocados while they're in season.
Avocados provide:
- Carotenoids: When I think of carotenoids, I usually think of carrots and other orange or red vegetables. However, avocados are a great source (as is our other green friend, spinach link to http://lovingthebike.com/cycling-nurition/loving-the-bite-green-berry-smoothie). In fact, they contain a spectacular array of carotenoids including beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, lutein, neochrome, neoxanthin, chrysanthemaxanthin, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and violaxanthin, many of which directly support eye health. It's this diverse and vast array of carotenoids that researchers believe is responsible for much of an avocado's anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Carotenoid Absorption: Recent research has shown that absorption of two key carotenoid antioxidants, lycopene and beta-carotene, increases significantly when fresh avocado (or avocado oil) is added to otherwise avocado-free vegetables, such as in a salad. One cup of fresh avocado (150 grams) added to a salad of romaine lettuce, spinach, and carrots increased absorption of carotenoids from this salad between 200-400%.
- Healthy Fats: Like other sources of healthy fats, avocados have been villianized as "fattening" in recent history (most fat storage issues have to do with an over-consumption of carbs, not fats!). While it's true that they are 85% fat, the fats provide many health benefits. They are heart healthy, anti-inflammatory, and they promote healthy blood sugars.
- Anti-inflammatory Factors: First, the phytosterols that account for a major portion of avocado fats (including beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol), are key supporters of our inflammatory system that helps keep inflammation under control. The anti-inflammatory benefits of these avocado fats are particularly well-documented with problems involving arthritis.
- Fiber: Fiber is one key to overall wellness and discourages most all chronic diseases. One-half cup of avocado provides 3-4 grams of fiber (and only 1 grams of sugar).
- Lower weight and BMI: In broad food intake studies, participants that routinely eat avocados have been determined to be lower in weight and lower in body mass index than non-consumers. Of course, this can be due to a variety of factors (maybe avocado-eater are overall healthier eaters or more active). No matter the reason, let's eat some guac!
- Cancer prevention: Avocados (specifically avocado extract) have been studied and determined to help prevent the occurrence of cancers in the mouth, skin, breast and prostate gland. These results are likely due to the unusual mix of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients. Since cancer risk factors almost always include excessive inflammation (related to lack of anti-inflammatory nutrients) and oxidative stress (related to lack of antioxidants), it makes perfect sense that avocados reduce risk. But, here is where the avocado story gets especially interesting. In animal and lab studies of healthy cells, avocado works to improve inflammatory and oxidative stress levels. But in cancer cells, avocado works to increase oxidative stress and shift the cancer cells over into a programmed cell death cycle (apoptosis), lessening the cancer cell numbers. Wow.
- Glutathione: Remember our friend glutathione – the super antioxidant that healthy cells produce when they're given the right nutrients (see link http://lovingthebike.com/nutrition-tips/nutrition-tip-february-5-2011). Avocados happen to be a good source of this wonder-nutrient.
- Vitamin E: Avocados are the best fruit source of vitamin E, an essential vitamin that protects against many diseases and helps maintains overall health. Specifically, it is an antioxidant that supports brain, cardiovascular, and respiratory health.
I know you're busy. And, I know some recipes seem like their out of reach. Make a smoothie batch and see if it doesn't just save time for you later in the week. Cyclists who utilize the raw and fresh nutrients from ingredients in smoothies feel energized, full but not overly so, and satisfied. In just one drink, you can get a full meal, packed with nutrients to keep you strong and pedaling.

The lure of undergraduate research
SUMMARY: Opportunities for research in international affairs solidified Zachary Ochoa's decision to come to JMU. His enthusiasm for the topic sparked interest in exploring the balance of power between the world's nations.
Why JMU?
JMU senior Zachary Ochoa ('14) is the embodiment of the "know what you want and work to get it" philosophy.
Growing up in a military household, he had an opportunity to see the world at an early age and was convinced that a career in international affairs was in his future.
Coming to Madison was not his first choice for an academic career, but his visit to campus changed his mind. "JMU is much more welcoming than any other college I visited. I fell in love with the environment here," says Ochoa. "Students were friendly. Professors freely shared their research endeavors, and I realized that the research being conducted here was right in line with what I wanted to learn."
Anxious to know more about what his academic opportunities at Madison would be, Ochoa followed through on his initial visit. "Every time I sent an email to a JMU professor, I got a response, usually within 24 hours," says Ochoa—a responsiveness he didn't find at other colleges on his list.
"[During my college search] every time I sent an email to a JMU professor, I got a response, usually within 24 hours … I realized that the research being conducted here was right in line with what I wanted to learn."
The opportunities for focused research solidified his college choice.
Ochoa has maximized his Madison Experience. "Working as a research assistant, taking on a Senior Honors Research Project, and working as a student assistant with the Department of Political Science have helped me develop important skills for my career," he says.
As a research assistant with Dr. Jonathan Keller, associate professor of political science, Ochoa researched rogue states and analyzed recently declassified CIA documents on the Bosnia conflict. "I read and summarized 100 of those documents and helped prepare a timeline that illustrated 'who knew what' as the Bosnia situation developed. Dr. Keller will use my work as he prepares for his presentation at the Intelligence and the Transition from War to Peace Conference being held at JMU in March."
His enthusiasm for international affairs sparked interest in exploring the balance of power between the world's nations. Ochoa's senior honors thesis will delve into the rise of superpowers. "I am focusing my research on what are known as the BRIC countries—Brazil, Russia, India and China," he says. Their newly advancing economies may signal a shift of global economic power to developing nations.
"Understanding a rising superpower is about analyzing its potential," says Ochoa. "I am concentrating my research on what leads to a country becoming a superpower. This research allows me to make a real contribution to my field and provides an opportunity to do original research, expanding the knowledge and understanding of the subject."
Ochoa will be presenting his research at the 2014 Colonial Academic Alliance Undergraduate Conference in Maryland. The conference forum lets students publicly share their research and present their work to potential graduate programs and employers. It represents another reason he's glad to have made the decision to come to JMU.
Summarizing his Madison Experience is easy: "JMU sets you up for success," he says.

Surprisingly no topic yet. Today looks really active with all threats. Tomorrow looks mild and Saturday looks to pick up.
Severe thunderstorms are expected across parts of the northern
Plains Thursday afternoon into Thursday night. The primary threat
will be damaging winds, but large hail and perhaps a couple
tornadoes will be possible as well. Elsewhere, isolated
strong/severe storms will be possible from the mid Mississippi
Valley to the Southeast, as well as over parts of the Northeast.
Pertinent features for this convective outlook will generally be
situated around the periphery of an expansive mid-level ridge
anchored over the central Plains. Although 500mb height tendencies
will be neutral/slightly positive across the northern Plains
initially (owing to lower-level warm advection), heights will
gradually fall through Thursday night with the approach of an
upstream trough over the Pacific Northwest. Farther east, a compact
impulse will cross the Hudson Valley and southern/central New
England through the afternoon. Meanwhile, a series of
low-amplitude/convectively augmented impulses will drop southeast
from the mid Mississippi Valley to the Southeast through the period.
...Northern Plains...
In response to continued warm advection over Montana and the
Dakotas, a warm front will lift northward towards the Canadian
border through the day. Meanwhile, a cold front will begin to
accelerate southeast over central Montana during the evening hours.
Between these two surface features, southeasterly flow will
transport mid/upper 60s dew points over the western Dakotas and into
eastern Montana. Closer to the trough / cooler temperatures aloft,
convection should initiate near/ahead of the cold front over the
higher terrain of Montana. Here, steep mid-level lapse rates and
strong effective shear will likely yield a few supercells and/or
bowing segments, capable of large hail and damaging winds during the
afternoon and evening.
Saturday NAM. SPC forecast will tell us more.
12 Jun 2018
Another system coming in two days across the Dakotas.
Northern Plains...
Broad mid-level ridging and a related subsidence inversion around
850-700mb will likely preclude thunderstorm development through much
of the day Thursday. However, gradually falling heights and
associated cooling/moistening aloft over western/central North
Dakota should sufficiently weaken the inversion for severe
thunderstorm development during the evening and early overnight
hours. Most of these storms are expected to develop along/ahead of a
surface front/trough pushing east through the overnight.
Ahead of the surface boundary, a plume of upper 60s/lower 70s dew
points will spread northward through the day, beneath very steep
700-500mb lapse rates across much of the region. Resultant buoyancy
should be strong, and favorable effective shear will organize
updrafts sufficiently for a threat of very large hail and damaging
winds with initial supercellular development. The magnitude of the
tornado threat remains more uncertain. Although low-level shear will
strengthen with time and eastward extent, strong downdraft momentum
and initially modest boundary-layer flow may favor quick upscale
growth during the evening hours. Therefore, convective mode
evolution could limit tornadic potential late Thursday. Still, a
damaging wind threat would likely be maintained, especially if a
larger convective system organizes and accelerates eastward from
North Dakota into northwest Minnesota during the overnight.
2 Jun 2018
Severe weather looking possible middle of this upcoming week for the midwest.
The primary focus for the extended period will be centered on
shortwave troughs cresting the top of an amplifying ridge over the
Plains states. As these perturbations cross the northern Plains and
upper Midwest, they will provide some focus for strong/severe
convective development, with the most likely period being
D4/Tue-D5/Wed, primarily from North Dakota to the upper Mississippi
Valley. A relatively narrow reservoir of adequate
moisture/instability will likely have returned to the region ahead
of these systems, offering some potential for damaging winds and
large hail. Despite this potential, no highlights are introduced,
owing to deterministic/ensemble guidance exhibiting considerable
uncertainty with regards to the amplitude/timing of individual
impulses cresting the ridge. In turn, the most likely zone for
severe convection remains too nebulous/broad at present.
Models look decent

Here we go again:
This formerly stately place is now completely thrashed. Scattered about are the fragments of what was once beautiful, if somewhat big statues of the gods. Someone were possibly compenating a bit. Among the bits of rock, the occasional red smear can be seen.
Walking among the rubble are five detectives, all wearing their best deerhunters and tweed coats. Detective McNinja is also, for once, wearing pants.
"I think the first order of busines would be to find out just who that red smear is. Detecitve Sammich, please?" detective Grammer said and pointed at the mess on the ground.
"This looks like quite the mess," detective Red Beret said, while taking pictures of both the crime scene and other things better left undocumented.
Detective McNinja handed detective Grammer a bacon butty and said here you go, while detective Cheez was poking about the red smear and liking his fingers. Mmm, yummy, the detective says.
"Thank you very much," detective Grammer said to McNinja, before turning to detective Cheez. "Detective Cheez, please don't eat the evidence. Who knows where it's been?"
"Well, it's obviously been right here. I doubt it left the room," detective Red Beret said.
DCI Cheez shrugged. "Smeg off."
Detective Sammich walked over to the gooey splatter. "It looks edible, but I think it's more meat than sweet. As for WHO it is...It may take some time to figure out."
"It could be undead," detective Grammer said.
"Fluke's on vacation, though..." detective Red Beret pointed out.
"Your point? I, uh, forgot to have dinner," detective Cheez admitted.
"Then have a Sammich instead, would you?" detective Grammer said.
"Ooh yeah, baby, I'll have Sammich
all night
," detective Cheez said, while doing a small pose.
"Unfortunately, I would prefer not to be eaten. At least now." Sammich pulled out a plastic baggy and began scooping the blood into it with a fork. "Maybe once I've got ham in my system."
"Detective Cheez! That is highly inappropriate!" detective Red Beret burst out and handed detective Cheez a glove. "Without protection, of course."
"Yay, glove!" detective Cheez exclaims and flicks it at McNinja.
"...moving swifty on from that, lets see if we can find any personal belongings from this individual amoung the rubble, shall we?" detective McNinja said, while doing his best to ignore detective Cheez.
"Well, I found a shred of cloth here," detective Red Beret says and holds up the little bugger.
Failing to ignore the glove that's being flicked at him, detective McNinja instead catches the offending object, stretches it out and wears it as a hat, on top of his hat.
Ow, I just bayonetted mah hand! can be heard from beyond the fourth wall.
"I found a pretty big... wait, it's made of stone, couldn't have been his," detective Grammer says and throws away the offending object.
"Of course, it could be from a bedspread or a table cloth," detective Red Beret admitted, before exclaiming, "Aha! A wallet!" He'd been picking detective Grammer's pockets.
"I found a glove," detective Cheez said and happily pointed at McNinja's head.
"What in the blazes..." Sammich held up an object. "This...this can't be..."
Detective Red Beret opens the wallet he 'found'. "My goodness, it seems this poor fellow was Detective Grammer! He will be missed."
"You found a bee?" detective Cheez asks.
Detective Red Beret is busy looting the wallet and doesn't answer.
Detective Grammer walks up behind Red Beret and stabs him in the back. "That one's mine, thank you very much." He then retrieves the wallet, minus the cash.
"It's...A yoghurt dispenser!" Sammich held the yoghurt dispenser out for everyone to see.
"Hmm... Who is fond of bees?" detective Cheez wondered, while ignoring the yoghurt dispenser.
"Bees are fond of me!" detective Red Beret exclaimed. He too was ignoring the yoghurt.
"Cass loves bees. A bit too much, really," detective Grammer said and completed the trifecta of ignorance.
"Yo! Need a dispenser here!" detective McNinja shouted and held out an evidence bag.
"Dodom, too, though to a lesser extent I'd say," detective Cheez said.
Meanwhile, detective Red Beret is busy rooting around in another set of pockets. This time, said pocket belongs to detective Sammich. "I found another wallet! Possibly two victims--Detective Sammich! Nooo!"
Detective Grammer slams down an evidence dispenser next to detective McNinja, while Sammich headbutts the yogurt dispenser into the evidence bag.
"Dodom has taken her leave though, unfortuantly," detective McNinja pointed out.
"Ah yes, true. Though she does occasionally return, detective Cheez added.
"It could have been her ghost," detective Grammer added.
"Ghost?" detective Red Beret says, while he pockets detective Sammich's cash and returns the wallet.
'Why thank you, RB! I'd been meaning to get rid of that for some time," detective Sammich says, happy.
"Ghosts don't gib though, never play Time Splitters?" detective McNinja said.
"Ghost? Or goats?" detective Cheez wonders.
"Such technological marvels are too much for me. I'll stick to my Commodore, thank you very much," detective Grammer says to detective McNinja. Behind him, detective Cheez is doing some impressive eyebrow raising.
Meanwhile, detective Red Beret had been poking around in the ectoplasm. "I really don't see any evidence to support your claims, Detective Grammer."
"We will leave no theory unturned!" detective Grammer exclaims. Stars starts singing in the background.
"Wait... that ectoplasm looks like..." detective Cheez sputters off and suddenly sports a moustache. "MCNINJA! Tell me you didn't!"
"Like a man with a moustache?" detective Red Beret asks.
Detective Cheez' moustache seems to morph for a moment, before retracting back into his face.
Detective Red Beret shoves detective Cheez's face into the ectoplasm. "I see where you were going with that."
Detective Cheez' face slowly melts.
"Don't tell me McNinja came so hard he blasted this place!" detective Grammer said, and pulled a little back.
Ow! i did it again, comes from beyond the great fourth wall beyond the sky.
"Why, McNinja? Every chance you get," detective Sammich said.
"I certainly did not! Guro is Grammer's forte, not mine," detective McNinja said, while looking slightly offended.
"Slander. I don't touch the stuff," detective Grammer said, before quickly glancing around him. I fuck it...
*Quick glances.*
Detective Cheez' face respawns. "Hey, hell is in McNinja's bedroom, the ghost could be evil."
Detective Red Beret pulled on gloves. "You do what, now?"
"Do you really want to know?" detective Cheez asked him.
"Let the ghost come to me, and I will purge it of its sins! WITH LIFE SEEDS!" detective Grammer said. With a very loud voice.
"I would agree that this must happen. But I would prefer to do so prior, detective Sammich said.
"I have an idea! This will get you closer to the ghost!" detective Red Beret said, and stabbed Grammer.
"Nananananananananana GHOSTBUSTERSMAN!" detective Cheez sings. Bits of rubble flee from his penetrating voice.
Detective Sammich put ham on Grammer's face. "And this will...Well, I'm not sure what it'll do, but it'll help."
Detective Grammer ensures that the ghost gets busted. Unfortunately, the busting material is not immaterial. It's sticky, though. And everywhere.
"A few more times should do it." detective Red Beret said and stabed detective Grammer some more, with great enthusiasm.
Detective Cheez uses some of the busting material to glue stones to detective Sammich.
"Busting, eh? I think we may need the help of Adam Savage..." detective McNinja said.
"YES, MY SEED HAS PURGED THE GHOST!" detective Grammer shouts, and returns to life.
OOh, I just sliced off some fingernail...can be heard from that fourth wall.
Are you JUGGLING it or something? another voice exclaims, from roughly the same place.
Yes. At least I'm not using the machete, the first voice says.
Detective Red Beret starts taking pictures again, like he's supposed to, before detective Cheez grabs the pictures.
"This is a glorious day in Barbababaville," detective Sammich exclaimed and looked at the sky. There's crack in it, from where the fourth wall too a pounding.
"Next time, ask first. Snatching is rude," detective Cheez said.
Detective Red Beret took the pictures back. "As you said before, 'smeg off!' he exclaimed and dumped detective Cheez in an unmarked evidence bag. You know, the kind usually used to store stuff the detectives will smoke on their time off.
"Detective Sammich, have you identified the subject yet?" detective Grammer asked.
"YAY! I R EVIDANCE!" detective Cheez exclaimed and danced about in the evidence bag.
"After extensive research," detective Sammich said and zipped up his pants and pocketed a burrito, "I declare this subject to be one Urma Gooberbutt."
"No I'm not!" detective Cheez said, while projecting indignance.
"Also known as... Jackal," detective Reb Beret added.
William s
While the others squabble, detective McNinja watches as the evidence dispenser despenses Cheezs. "Egad!"
"No, the other subject. With the legs." Detective Sammich shook his head.
"Egad indeed, you son of the britches!" detective Cheez said.
"Oh. Then this one must be Alucard," detective Red Beret said.
"But isn't he immortal? Or was that immoral? I always confuse those, Detective Grammer said, somewhat confused.
"Possibly, but that doesn't mean he can't be a smear, detective Cheez said.
"I was a smear once. It was a lovely day," detective Sammich added.
"That's true. You think we can have him on bread? Or is he better as sauce?" detective Grammer speculated.
"With pasta, I'd say," detective Cheez said.
"He was merely immoral. You see, he was basically reverse Dracula. He spouted blood and died sooner, versus drinking it and staying alive," detective Red Beret clarified the matter, to everyone's great confusion.
"Don't most people do that?" detective Cheez wondered.
"I think bread would be fine. Just not my bread," detective Sammich said.
"Then that means Dracula was not normal!" detective McNinja exclaimed.
"Any man who can't stand garlic or crosses is abnormal. Duh!" detective Grammer said.
"yeah, garlic is yummy, detective Cheez said and nummed down a few cloves of the stuff.
The smer stayed just where it was.
"Indeed, garlic bread is most excellent," detective McNinja said.
Detecitve Cheez is momentarily pre-occupied with salivating on the floor.
"It would seem the smear is not affected by garlic," detective Grammer observed.
"What about onions?" detective Cheez asked, before eating some. After a moments thought, he offered some to the smear too. It gracefully accepted the offering and nummed it down.
Just then, detective Red Beret suddenly combusts. After a lot of screaming and running around, he steps on an undetonated mortar shell and becomes a very, very dead smear. That wears a red beret.
Detective Cheez puts out the remains of detective Red Beret. A wild badger immediately snatches the remains and runs off with them.
"Yes, good idea, perhaps it will start raining," detective McNinja said.
"And then his epic fire can tell the rain "PISS OFF, I AM FEUER!" detective Cheez said. "Meaning good weather for all!"
"And eternal drought!"detective McNinja added. "A masterful plan indeed!"
"Umm, guys? Our crime is trying to sneak off. Could someone please put it in a jar or something? If there is no body, there's nothing for us to do, and we can't have that," a worried detective Grammer says. And is promptly ignored.
"Well yeah, then we can make a fortune selling water."detective Cheez said, and wrapped the smear in clingfilm.
Detective Sammich put the clingfilm in the baggy with the rest of the smear.
Detective Sammich put the baggy in another baggy made of dogs, then put that baggy in a plastic baggy.
Then detective Cheez put the baggy in a cat.
"I would still like to know who The Smear is, though. It could give us a lead on who killed it," detective Grammer said. "If, indeed, someone did kill it. What if The Smear is a life form?"
"Isn't The Smear one of those comic superheroes?" detective Cheez asked.
"Never heard of him. Must be a total tosser," detective Grammer answered.
"Nah, The Tossers are awesome, detective Cheez said.
"Yes, sounds even worse than Monotone Man," detective Mcninja said.
"I've already told you, The Smear is Urma Gooberbutt," detective Sammich said.
"But you're not known for being correct, Detective Sammich, detective Grammer said.
"Or for deductive logic," detective McNinja added.
"That's merely 95.294789202027457392% of the time, however, detective sammich said, while trying to sound offended.
"You were correct last Monday, when you predicted we would eat donuts. You've used your quota for now," detective Grammer said.
"But I ate shortbread," detective Cheez said.
"That was Wednesday," detective Grammer corrected him.
"Those doughnuts were splendid. More meat than last time, but eh...Who's counting," detective Sammich said, mollified by the thought of donuts.
"I liked the holes. They were... useful," detective Grammer said, with a dreamy look.
"Perhaps we should use some form of scientific analysis to deduce it's identity?" detective McNinja said, and fetched a mass spectrometer from the dispenser.
"That would possibly be helpful," detective Grammer said.
Detective Cheez, on the other hand, goes back to the roots of detecting and uses a magnifying glass. All local glass, not that there's much of it, is magnified.
Meanwhile, detective Sammich has manged to get his forehead to grow to 10x its orginal size. "Goddammit. Not this shit AGAIN. I can't work under these conditions." He triped over himself.
"I never knew breadbrows could grow in glass..." detective Cheez said.
"Egad! I've heard of a glass jaw, but this is something else..." detective McNinja burst out.
"They can! Remember? I thought I told you," detective Sammich said.
"No, that was Zheec," detective Cheez said.
"Detective Sammich, please get your body under control, you're obscuring the evidence. AND WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT EVIDENCE!? detective Grammer shouted. Really loud.
"Norway?" detective Cheez suggested.
"Indeed! And who wants to be there?" detective Grammer asked.
"Me," detective Cheez answered.
"But you're crazy. You know how expensive bears are up there?"detective Grammer once again asked a question.
"Twelve dollars?" detective Sammich tried.
"But... but... Norway is awesome to the fawesome," detective Cheez said.
Meanwhile, detecive Sammich is desperately trying to shrink his head. Oh, and detective Cheez' magnifying glass ceases to exist.
"Detective Sammich knows his currencies," detective Grammer commented.
"Well, acording to this machine making whirring noises with all the flashing lights, the smear is... Sammich!" detective McNinja broke in. The result had been clear for a while, but with the others babbling like crazed baboons on speed, he had yet to get a word in. dun-dun DUUUN could be heard from some indeterminable source.
"But Sammich is right here. There's been no murder, then," detective Grammer exclaimed.
And so, they ate the evidence, traded the case for a barrel of ale and detective Sammich turned into a pile of doughnuts. All was happy.
But...was the pile truly a pile of doughnuts? Or was it a pile of Sammiches pretending to be doughnuts? The world may never know. "HMWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAMBURGERS."

"Damn, I really love doing donuts," detective Grammer exclaimed.
Perhaps Sammich wasn't that lucky, after all.
"You pervert," detective Cheez said. "I hope those poor doughnuts gave consent first."
"Of course. I'm not some common rapist, you know. And I paid up front, too," detective Grammer said.
Good, good. carry on then, detective Cheez nodded his approval.
"Of course, sir," detective Grammer said.
"Need a napkin?" detective Mcninja asked.
"No no, I'm just using this here waitress," detective Grammer answered.
The doughnuts are giggling uncontrollably.
I'm starting to smell a couple of traditions beginning to form.

I have no clue when it comes to time zone conversions. Which is why I posted in GMT +/- 0, so it's easy for you to figure out for yourself >.<

Europe's Week Ahead: Global Growth, Carrefour
European investors will look for signs of global growth in data from the U.S. and China. There are concerns over French supermarket retailer Carrefour which reports fourth-quarter sales and luxury brand Burberry will give further clues on how the luxury sector is faring.

Management Professor Ann Tenbrunsel has researched the hidden liabilities of power during negotiations and warns against over-confidence at the bargaining table.
In recent research, Tenbrunsel and a colleague found that negotiators who were perceived as powerful tended to undervalue the relative strength of their counterparts in a bargaining session. They also argue that powerful negotiators have trouble correctly judging the interests of others, receive less accurate information than low-power negotiators and tend to analyze the information they do receive less thoroughly.
In another study, negotiators who were perceived as powerful were held to higher ethical and moral standards than others. Yet, at the same time, their position of strength often encouraged untrustworthy behavior, harsh judgments and competitive moves from their weaker adversaries.
To avoid having your power work against you in negotiations, Tenbrunsel suggest that you take a broad view of power, thoroughly prepare for negotiations and refrain from forcing an outcome by letting objective data speak for themselves for finding a neutral party to deliver proposed solutions.

A message for Linux.com registered users: We are in the process of making changes to the Linux forums. Starting Monday, 8/13/18 at 6:00 PM PT, you will be unable to access the forums. They will re-launch as soon as possible on Wednesday, 8/15/18 with new features and improved functionality. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for the new improved forums.
Just arrived
I found this friendly forum a pair of days ago, and registered.
I started using GNU&Linux in 2004, with Mandrake 10. Then I switched to Debian during 3 months, then tried Ubuntu. I contributed to a book dedicated to beginners starting with Ubuntu, as co-autor during 5 months, then the book was published early 2006.
Then I wanted to try Archlinux, which has been my main distribution during 4 years. In the meanwhile I tried a few more, such as Slitaz, Zenwalk, again Debian, and Mandriva, and a few small distros.
In 2008 I started using PCLinuxOS KDE Minime, and in 2009 a member of the PCLinuxOS community created a program to localize in many languages, using a separate repository for the po/mo files. So I started to learn to remaster the different flavors available, to provide them to a French speaking community. I also started a project around the Openbox window manager as a standalone version, with sparkles of small programs and configuration files provided to make it easy to use.
I am now a full contributor, with the creation of a dedicated website in French, some more joined, we created a wiki and we continue.
Here is the website: http://pclinuxos-fr.org
and here a presentation in English of the specifically easy and lightweight Openbox version of PCLinuxOS : New Openbox Editions Available.
And the latest built on Openbox too, is a special version for young children : PCLinuxOS Education, that we (a group of parents from several countries) have worked on for more than 2 years. A full, up to date presentation can be seen here:
PCLinuxOS Education (en)
I have a question related to the present website : what is the difference between the forum, and the "Linux answers" section ? I tried to answer to someone a pair of days ago when I came first, but I still don't see the answer I provided : how come ? I tried to give a good and useful answer, so I would suppose it might be published one of these days, before the person thinks nobody cares for her problem ?

Thursday Sports Round-Up
LIMA — The St. Marys girls soccer team went on the road twice for key Western Buckeye League matches in the Lima area and twice used the same formula to emerge with wins: get up early and then hold on.
The Roughriders jumped out to a two-goal halftime lead on Bath in the first-half torrential rain and held on as the Wildkittens a late goal and peppered the goal with shots in the final two minutes. St. Marys' 2-1 win is its fourth straight win.
"We have a tough stretch in our schedule here where we play three of the upper-echelon WBL teams and we've knocked off two of them this week. That's huge," St. Marys head coach Paul Dingledine said.
St. Marys improved to 5-2-1 on the season and 3-0-1 in the Western Buckeye League.
The Roughriders' Skylar Liming scored the game's first goal on a breakaway. She put a ground kick past the Bath goalie, who came out about 10 yards to try to stop the runout.
St. Marys quickly added another goal after the heavy rain started, with Kristen Dammeyer putting in another goal.
St. Marys' 2-0 lead held up most of the game before Bath's late-game surge.
Bath's Alyssa Manley put in a goal with 4:14 left in the match to halve the lead down to 2-1. Bath got a flurry of kicks in close to the net in the final few minutes, but Roughrider defenders got deflections as the Roughriders emerged with their third win in WBL play. At 3-0-1 in the WBL, the Riders are still in the thick of the league race.
St. Marys has another big WBL match upcoming at home against Celina next Tuesday with a 5 p.m. junior varsity starting time.
NEW KNOXVILLE — It was a battle in the Midwest Athletic Conference Thursday evening at New Knoxville and with good front line play the Rangers defeated the Minster Wildcats 25-21, 25-15 and 25-19.

[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/52300934[/vimeo]LEWISTON, Maine -- An unforgiving defense and the quick feet of Shawn Doherty took the Bates football team a long way on Homecoming Saturday. Bates outgained Colby 288-14 on the ground and 412-151 overall en route to a 31-6 win at Garcelon Field, spoiling the return of Bates alum Jonathan Michaeles, who is in his first year as Colby's head coach.
Doherty (Mansfield, Mass.) ran for a 45-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, then turned a screen pass from senior Trevor Smith (Malvern, Pa.) into a 50-yard touchdown seven minutes later, opening up a 24-0 lead with 12:50 left in the fourth quarter.
Bates (3-3) is off to its best six-game start since the Bobcats were also 3-3 in 1982. It is the Bobcats' first win over their in-state rivals since 2008, and only their second in the past 12 years.
Bates can now claim the CBB (Colby-Bates-Bowdoin) championship with a win at Bowdoin (1-5) next Saturday in Brunswick. The Bobcats have matched last year's win total with two games remaining on the schedule, including Nov. 10 at home against Hamilton (1-5).
Bates controlled possession for over 10 minutes in both the second and fourth quarters, helping to preserve a 10-0 lead going into halftime and cutting down Colby's chances for a comeback late in the game. The Mules were unable to score until 6:48 remained in the fourth quarter, when Justin Ciero hit Indigo Dow for a 5-yard passing touchdown.
Smith carried the ball a career-high 30 times for a net of 93 yards and one touchdown. Smith completed 10 of 14 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown, though he was sacked four times and fumbled the ball away three times.
Ciero completed 18 of 40 passes with two interceptions and a touchdown. He was also sacked four times, and he fumbled the ball away twice. Dow led all receivers with five catches for 69 yards and a score.
The first half, and the beginning of the second half, were riddled with turnovers and penalties on both sides. Fifteen penalties combined were charged in the first half, accounting for 156 yards. In the end, Bates was penalized 13 times for 142 yards, and Colby was flagged 10 times for 92 yards. There were also eight fumbles in the game, five by the Bobcats.
After a scoreless first quarter, Bates got on the scoreboard in an unusual way. Sophomore David Kurey (West Chester, Pa.) angled a high punt from Bates' 43-yard line inside the Colby 5. The ball bounced once on the ground and struck Colby's would-be kick returner in the leg. Bates senior Brian Gallagher (North Attleboro, Mass.) then pounced on the ball in the end zone. After some intensely awaited discussion between the officials, Bates was awarded a touchdown.
Bates immediately got the ball back again, as Ciero was strip-sacked by junior Matt Comstock (Amherst, N.H.) on the Mules' first play from scrimmage, and sophomore John Durkin (Rye Beach, N.H.) recovered the ball for the Bobcats at the Colby 31. Colby's defense held Bates to a three-and-out, though, and the teams traded possessions twice more before Bates tacked on a 31-yard field goal by junior Charlie Donahue (Plymouth, N.H.) with 4:22 left in the half. Donahue's career-long field goal had more than enough distance and made him 7-for-7 this season on field goals. He entered the weekend ranked 13th in Division III in field goals per game.
Colby's last drive of the half took the Mules as far as the Bates 32, where David Bendit's 49-yard field goal attempt missed.
The Mules drove 45 yards on their second possession of the third quarter, getting as far as Bates' 33, but Durkin strip-sacked Ciero and senior Matt Gaither (Winchester, Mass.) recovered at Bates' 41.
After Smith picked up 14 yards on a quarterback keeper, taking Bates into Colby territory, Smith pitched perfectly to Doherty trailing on his right, and the junior slotback chased open daylight, outrunning Colby's secondary up the right sideline and all the way to the end zone, a 45-yard score, making it 17-0 Bates with 5:36 left in the third quarter.
Bates linebacker Evan Dowd (Longmeadow, Mass.) chased down Ciero from behind for his second sack of the day to force Colby to punt from their own 45 on their next possession. Ryan Grunseich drilled a 52-yard punt to pin Bates at its own 3-yard line, but the Bobcats ran the ball four times and got a pair of first downs before the third quarter came to a close.
Nine consecutive rushes by four different Bates backs took the Bobcats from the 3 to the 50 to start the fourth quarter. From there, Smith threw a perfect swing pass to Doherty in the left flat, where Doherty deftly gathered the ball, used junior wide receiver Kevin Davis's (North Andover, Mass.) sealing block of a Colby defensive back on the outside, and quickly cut up the seam into open field. No one could catch Doherty -- he got away from a lunging Daniel Maddox at the 15 and galloped in the rest of the way, a total of 50 yards. It was his second TD of the game and his fifth in the past three weeks. Bates led 24-0 with 12:50 left in the game.
Colby wasn't out of it yet, however. The Mules drove from their own 32 to the Bates' 5, helped by a 15-yard penalty called on Bates on a 3rd and 10, followed by a 40-yard connection from Ciero to Dow up the left sideline, where he was finally dragged down by senior Kyle Starr (Concord, N.H.) at the Bates 11. Ciero threw for six more yards to Jason Buco to reach the 5, but three straight incompletions from there, including Starr's breakup of a pass lofted to Dow on fourth down, gave the ball back to Bates on downs.
The Bobcats ran four times out to the 22, but on 2nd and 5, with Smith running a keeper up the middle, Colby's Phil Amato snatched the ball from Smith's grip and ran the ball back the other way for 12 yards before Doherty stopped him from scoring at the 8. Three plays later, Ciero found Dow open in the left flat to close the gap to 24-6, with 6:48 left in the game.
Colby successfully recovered an onside kick, but the Mules were flagged for a false start to nullify the play. The second attempt was not successful, setting up Bates at the Colby 40. After an 11-yard connection from Smith to first-year Harrison Murphy (Whitinsville, Mass.), the Bobcats ran seven straight times, finishing off their final scoring drive with Smith's 2-yard touchdown run off-tackle. Donahue made his fourth extra point for a 31-6 lead.

Gardena, CA – (January 6, 2005) Clarion Corporation of America, a leading manufacturer of mobile entertainment systems, introduces one new overhead model, the OHMD102, a 10.2-inch overhead, flip-down monitor, and continues with the 7-inch OHMD74. The in-demand, all-in-one solutions are not only user friendly, but installer friendly as well, and they feature DVD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 playback functions.
The OHMD102 and OHMD74 have streamlined cosmetics, incorporating a thin LCD display with a thin mounting bracket. The units are user-friendly as well, and sport easy-fit universal mounting brackets, built-in dome lights, front-panel accessible picture adjustment controls, and on-screen displays. The monitors also feature external game ports, that can be installed anywhere in the vehicle, allowing users to enjoy home videos or games.
"The overheads are the perfect solution for consumers wanting rear-seat video options. The picture quality of the monitor demonstrates why Clarion continues to be a leader in mobile video solutions," says Jerry Bedoy, Product Category Manager at Clarion.
The OHMD102 and the OHMD74 bring rear-seat entertainment a step further with their built-in DVD player. With the DVD slot conveniently located on the driver's side of the overhead, the monitors allow easy access for the driver on the go.
The MSRP for the OHMD102 is $1,099.99 and the OHMD74 is $799.99.
