Lindsey Vonn undergoes surgery on right knee
PARK CITY, Utah – Lindsey Vonn had surgery on her right knee on Sunday after she shredded two ligaments during a crash last week at the world championships.
The U.S. Ski Team said Dr. William Sterett, a physician for the squad, operated on the four-time overall World Cup champion in Vail, Colo., on Sunday morning.
Sterett was optimistic at a full recovery and said of Vonn: "She will do everything in her power to return as quickly as possible to competitive skiing."
Vonn tore her anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments last week during the super-G in Schladming, Austria. She also broke a bone in her lower leg.
The 28-year-old Vonn is hoping to be healed in time for the 2014 Sochi Winter Games, which are a year away.

Car Review
2014 Volkswagen Eos: New Car Review
Some cars deserve more attention than they get, and the 2014 Volkswagen Eos convertible is high on that list. First and foremost, there's the Eos model's fancy power hardtop, which folds away in 25 seconds and features a unique sunroof that can power open when the roof is closed. Then there's the car's luxurious interior and confident German feel on the highway. And it's a Volkswagen, so it must be reasonably priced, right?
Well, that's the thing. Although the Eos is a front-wheel-drive convertible with a faint resemblance to the Jetta sedan, the cheapest model starts at over $36,000. That's a lot of coin for a car that's considerably slower than the Ford Mustang V6 convertible, which costs many thousands less.
Then again, not everyone wants to look like a tourist in a rental car, so the Mustang may be off-limits, along with fellow airport mainstays such as the Chevrolet Camaro and Chrysler 200. And remember, the Eos model's trump card is that retractable hardtop; other than the Chrysler, no convertible with a backseat offers one of those in the Eos model's price range.
What's New for 2014?
The Eos can be equipped with VW's Car-Net telematics system, and the Lux trim level has been discontinued. Minor equipment adjustments round out the changes.
What We Like
Unique retractable hardtop with built-in sunroof; peppy and refined engine; high-quality interior
What We Don't
Not an athlete; not cheap; anonymous styling
How Much?
Fuel Economy
The Eos is powered by a turbocharged 2-liter inline-4 rated at 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed dual-clutch automated manual is the only available transmission.
Fuel economy for the Eos is an Environmental Protection Agency rating of 22 miles per gallon city/30 mpg highway.
Standard Features & Options
The 2014 Volkswagen Eos hardtop convertible is available in three trim levels: Komfort, Sport and Executive.
The Komfort ($36,060) starts with 17-inch alloy wheels, a trip computer, a power driver's seat, heated front seats with adjustable lumbar, leatherette upholstery, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, an SD-based navigation system and a touchscreen 8-speaker audio system with iPod/Bluetooth connectivity, an auxiliary input and an SD-card reader.
The Sport ($38.790) adds 18-in alloy wheels, bi-xenon adaptive headlights, a rear spoiler, a lowered sport suspension, keyless entry/ignition, stainless steel pedals and a multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters.
The Executive ($42,560) trim has its own 18-in alloys, the xenon headlights with washers, a sport-tuned suspension, an upgraded trip computer, a hard-drive-based navigation system with digital music storage and a 600-watt Dynaudio sound system.
Some of these high-end features are available on lower trims as options.
The big story with the Eos is, of course, its power-retractable hardtop, which lowers in 25 seconds and features an integrated power sunroof that both tilts and slides independent of the rest of the roof. It's a remarkable engineering achievement, especially given that the sunroof, at 44 in wide and 22 in deep, is one of the largest sliding panels in the business. There's even a manual sliding sunshade that lets you block overhead sunlight if you want. We're used to feeling claustrophobic in a convertible when the top's up, but the Eos truly provides the best of both worlds.
Although the Eos model's interior can be dressed up in a variety of ways (we're especially partial to the red leather upholstery), the dashboard is still rather conservatively styled for a fun-in-the-sun car. Materials quality is very good, though, and there's a distinct premium vibe in this cabin, from the classy analog gauges to the precision feel of the knobs and levers.
The Eos model's front seats provide firm long-distance comfort and surprisingly good lateral support through the corners. The 2-passenger backseat is cramped, however, and while we wouldn't ordinarily harp on this in a convertible, the Eos model's Jetta-like styling had us expecting Jetta-like rear accommodations. Trunk capacity measures 10.5 cu ft with the top up and 6.6 cu ft alfresco, which is about average for a hardtop convertible, but there's also a lockable pass-through for longer items that's integrated into the rear seats.
The Volkswagen Eos comes with standard stability control, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, four airbags (front and front-side), and a rear-passenger rollover protection system that deploys aluminum posts from behind the rear seats if an imminent rollover is detected.
Optional on all Eos models is VW's Car-Net, a telematics suite offering a number of safety-related features, such as crash notification, roadside assistance, remote vehicle access and boundary and speed alerts. A smartphone app that runs many Car-Net functions is available.
The government has not crash tested the Eos recently, but the independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the Eos its highest rating of Good in every tested category.
Behind the Wheel
The 2.0T 4-cylinder engine is featured in seemingly every car VW makes these days, and for good reason: It's a pleasantly refined little engine that packs a consistent punch across the rev range. We think it suits the laid-back nature of the Eos quite well. The dual-clutch automatic delivers prompt and mostly smooth shifts, the main exception being low-speed transitions like those that occur during parallel parking.
Thanks in part to that huge glass sunroof, the Eos has an airy, relaxed character at speed. Noise suppression from the insulated hardtop is very good, and the cabin remains turbulence-free at reasonable velocities with the top down. The Eos model's soft underpinnings make it a suboptimal choice for enthusiastic cornering, even with the Executive model's sport-tuned suspension. But if you simply intend to cruise around and soak up the rays, the easy-riding Eos will be a great companion.
Other Cars to Consider
FIAT 500C Abarth -- The spunky turbocharged FIAT is hardly a natural Eos rival, but when you think about it, it offers a similar turbocharged 4-seat layout for considerably less coin.
Ford Mustang convertible -- You can get the sizzling V8-powered Mustang GT soft-top convertible for the same price as an Eos, but the Mustang V6 also outperforms the VW for thousands less.
MINI Cooper S convertible -- The Cooper's back seat is definitely tighter than the Eos model's already cramped rear quarters, but if you'd like extra style and attitude, the spunky MINI is a pleasantly affordable Eos alternative.
AutoTrader's Advice
We'd be inclined to stick with the base Komfort model. As noted, it's quite well-equipped, and we find the Eos considerably more appealing at around $35,000 than at $40,000-plus.

The low murmur of voices in the courtroom is hushed as the judge sweeps through the door, takes his seat and opens a folder in front of him.
"All rise," says the bailiff. There's a pause and a scuffle as all in the courtroom scramble to their feet. "Hood River County Teen Court is now in session." Teen Court?
Teen Court.
Everyone sits.
"The business of this court is very serious," says the judge, Mike FitzSimons, who is really a lawyer in town but volunteers to preside at Teen Court every few weeks. "The defendants who appear before this court have violated a law of the State of Oregon and have voluntarily chosen to come here to have a jury of their peers impose sentence for these violations.
"All proceedings are confidential," FitzSimons continues. Everyone in the room is requested to take an oath of confidentiality.
Then, as happens in court, it's on to the business at hand. On this night two cases will be heard, two teen-age defendants sentenced with punishments a jury of their peers deems appropriate after hearing the details of each case. Two teenagers will leave with sentences to fulfill, but with the chance of having the misdeed that landed them here wiped from their record -- with, in the words of attorney and sometime Teen Court judge Brian Aaron, a second chance.
Hood River County Teen Court was started about four years ago as an after-school program at Hood River Valley High School. A little over two years ago it moved under the umbrella of The Next Door where it has been ever since, most recently under the direction of coordinator Katie Folliard. Its funding comes largely from the Hood River County Commission on Children and Families, but Folliard calls it a "cooperative effort" involving many community members, the juvenile department and local lawyers.
Teen Court is an option for juvenile first-time offenders only -- those who admit their guilt. Most of the cases involve charges of minor-in-possession (tobacco, alcohol or drugs) and theft. Some cases are curfew violations.
"These are cases that would normally go through juvenile court," Folliard says. The advantage of Teen Court is that, if a sentence is fulfilled successfully, the offender's record is expunged. If the criteria fit and Teen Court is offered -- and accepted -- as an option, the defendant is assigned to one of the twice-monthly court nights held at the Hood River County Courthouse.
One of the unique things about Teen Court is that, not only is the jury made up of teenagers, the rest of the players -- with the exception of the judge -- are teenagers, too. Some of those involved once sat in the defendant's chair themselves; a mandatory part of any Teen Court sentence is the requirement of serving on at least one jury, and some teens continue to stay involved with the program as volunteers.
Others, like 15-year-old Loehn Rawdin Morris, are there because they're interested in law as a possible career.
"It would be a dream of mine to eventually go into law," Morris says. He's been a regular at Teen Court for a year-and-a-half and is now part of what Folliard calls the "court staff."
He's served in nearly every capacity at Teen Court -- as juror, bailiff, court clerk and defendant's representative. He's never been a defendant, but he thinks Teen Court is a successful way of dealing with youthful first-time offenders.
"It really helps that peers get to judge," he says. He thinks it has a big impact on offenders when they show up to Teen Court and it's all their peers handling the proceedings and making the decisions. "It's good peer pressure," he says. "It's more powerful than adults telling you what to do."
A session of Teen Court works like this: After the necessary formalities, the defendant's violation is read by the court clerk and the defendant's representative reads aloud the facts of the case as detailed in the police report.
The representative then calls the defendant to the stand and questions him or her in order to provide more information for the jury. Members of the jury are then allowed to question the defendant directly, and being peers, they often ask tough questions that hit home -- like how their actions affected their parents and friends, what changes they're making to avoid trouble in the future, what punishments they received at home.
The representative can call another witness to the stand -- usually one of the defendant's parents -- for similar questioning. The whole process lasts about 20-30 minutes, then the jury is dismissed to deliberate on a sentence.
"Some kids come into (Teen Court) thinking that it's easier" than juvenile court, Folliard says. "We're trying to change that perception."
Teen Court jurors have a list of guidelines to follow when coming up with a sentence. In minor-in-possession cases, for example, they must follow juvenile court mandates that require drug and alcohol evaluations. They also have a list of possible sentences that include community service, a written apology, writing an essay, giving a presentation to a class or group, and restitution to a victim.
But once the jury heads to the deliberation room, it's all up to them to decide on a sentence -- one they feel is tailored to the offense and whatever punishment they've already received.
Besides offering an alternative to juvenile court for defendants, Teen Court gives kids a chance to be involved in something where they feel they're making a difference.
Teresa Ocampo, 18, is a volunteer who first landed in Teen Court as a defendant.
"I got in trouble so I had to come here," she says with a sheepish grin. As part of her sentence, she was required to serve on three Teen Court juries.
"Then Katie asked me if I would keep doing it," she says. "She thought I asked good questions." Ocampo and Morris are part of a core group of about 15 "really committed" teens that Folliard calls on frequently to serve at Teen Court.
"I like it," Ocampo says, "because I have a say in what happens."
Folliard tries to get a wide range of kids involved in the program. "I want them to think of it as an extra-curricular activity," she says. "A lot of them don't really mix" outside of Teen Court, she adds, but they come together twice a month to work together to do an important job.
Attorney Aaron, who's been involved with Teen Court since its inception, touts all aspects of Teen Court.
"It's just a good program," he says. "Every kid makes mistakes." Plus, by diverting "kids" out of the legal system, it allows valuable (and limited) resources to be used "pursuing the real criminals.
"And it gives (teens) a chance to see how the system works," he says. "Maybe they get a little education out of it, too."
In the most recent session of Teen Court, two separate teen juries come up with sentences for the 15- and 12-year-old defendants. The sentences, for theft and minor-in-possession charges, include letters of apology, no unexcused absenses at school and serving jury duties. (Folliard requested the Hood River News be vague with respect to details of the cases.)
The defendants will have 90 days to carry out their sentences. After a period of six months, a small group of Teen Court volunteers will meet to review each case. They can either dismiss them -- at which time the offender's record is cleared -- or extend the deadline for the sentence requirements to be completed. The third option is for the case to be referred back to the juvenile department.
"The kids get to close out the file," Folliard says. "It puts it back in the their hands."
Folliard is continually fine-tuning the program, making sure it works for both defendants and the volunteers who make it possible.
"You can't change a kid through a program, but you can give a kid a chance to make better choices," she says. "This is kind of a wake-up call."

Queen Victoria: A Jan. 24 article about crossing the Panama Canal on the cruise ship Queen Victoria identified a ship in the Port of Los Angeles as the Jeremiah O'Brien. The ship is the Lane Victory, which served in World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars. —
The still, bright morning last January was already warming to the heat typical of Panama, and we were primed with interest in the canal.
Truth to tell, Laurel is less in love with canals and their attendant locks and tugs and machinery than I.
Queen Victoria's current world cruise ends in April. The next cruise begins Jan. 5. Info: (800) 728-6273, www.cunard.com.
From September through April, most cruise lines offers Panama Canal trips, either full transits or partial transits, the latter turning in Gatun Lake and leaving the way they entered.
"It's a lot like watching grass grow," she'd said in advance. She was skeptical even though I'd extolled the process: chambers filling and emptying, lock gates closing and opening majestically like the jaws of Monstro the Whale, little electrified "mules" -- locomotives -- scurrying into place with cables to hold the vessels off the lock walls.
But by the time we'd reached Cristóbal, it was she who had completed David McCullough's hefty but fascinating "The Path Between the Seas" and thus was able to fill me in about one of the man-made wonders of the world.
When we arrived at the canal we'd been aboard the Queen Victoria a full week. We weren't just marking time, waiting for the main event; we were traveling for the ship as much as the canal. A year earlier, we had sailed from Southampton to New York on the Victoria. We liked the ship enough to book this New York- Los Angeles segment while we were still aboard.
Comparisons may be invidious, but they're inevitable. For the Queen Victoria, the inescapable benchmark is fleet mate Queen Mary 2, and the ships are sometimes confused. Though the Queen Victoria does echo many interior features of the QM2, which was the largest ship ever built when it set out on its maiden voyage in January 2004, the Victoria is essentially a cruise ship, not an "express liner" like QM2, which is built for point-to-point voyages in any weather.
Cunard ships are genuinely distinctive.
"Midnight finds you having the most intimate of moments in the grandest of ballrooms," reads one of Cunard's typical print ads, with a picture of tuxedo- and gown-clad passengers dancing decorously. Well, not exactly. Midnight generally finds us sound asleep, even on shipboard. Still, acknowledging the inevitable promotional hype, the ad's promise that a Cunard voyage "will take you back to the Golden Age of Ocean Travel, when timeless elegance and refined British tradition ruled the day" is a fair summary of how the company sees its niche.
Our 17-night cruise included four formal nights. Though the tux-and-gown thing is surely not for everyone, we like it.
The "Grandest of Ballrooms" touted in the ad is the Queens Room, and for me it's the space most emblematic of Cunard. Both the current Queens have one, as did the now-retired QE2 and as will the Queen Elizabeth, to be launched this fall. So far, I like Queen Victoria's best, with its two-deck-high central space, the upper level lined on one side with stained glass and on the other by a balcony.
Every afternoon, tea -- pastries, finger sandwiches, scones -- was served here in white-glove style, accompanied by a harpist or string quartet. Perhaps because of the preponderance of Brits, a queue for tables typically formed at teatime. The room also hosted four classical matinee concerts by pianist Warren Mailley-Smith, young but with impressive credentials, engaging and abundantly talented.
The library -- two decks' worth, connected by a spiral staircase, holding 6,000 well-chosen volumes -- is another characteristic Cunard space. So is the Royal Court Theatre, and Queen Victoria's is unique in having boxes. On production-show (as opposed to solo-performance) nights, for $25 apiece, passengers who reserved them could gather for a pre-show Champagne reception in intimate lounges to stage right and stage left. After bubbly and chocolate truffles, we'd be escorted by a nattily attired bellboy to our box, where half a bottle of Veuve Clicquot waited.
Most dinner hours, we were in the Britannia Restaurant. Highlights included green pea soup, sour cream foam, pea shoots; Norwegian salmon with horseradish crust and Chardonnay sauce.
We enjoyed all the ports, which included Curaçao, with its fine old buildings and floating bridge across the harbor; Guatemala's Antigua, reached by bus from Puerto Quetzal; Puerto Vallarta's seaside Mexican mountainscapes, and the beach at Cabo San Lucas -- but the Panama Canal was the highlight, from the moment we entered the Gatun Locks at the western end.
"Good morning," blared the speaker on an escort tug, one of a fleet of 25 that had appeared off our starboard bow. "Welcome to Panama."
McCullough used 622 pages to tell the canal's story; in contrast, here are a few random observations. The locks are all doubles, and the Tahitian Princess locked through in tandem with us, along with a pair of container ships. Rowboats have proved the most practical way to convey the cables that the "mules," eight to a ship, each with two cables, use to position the transiting vessels. Thus they're still in use.
Gatun Lake, the canal's center section, was lovely, with lush jungle all around, mountains in the distance, and islands that dotted our passage. Then came the Culebra Cut, the Pedro Miguel and Miraflores locks, and finally the Bridge of the Americas. The scene leaving the canal in late afternoon was breathtaking. To the south, Panama City was a revelation in the late, low light -- miles of sun-washed high-rises soaring beyond the long breakwater that led us out into the Pacific.
Seventeen days after sailing out of New York Harbor in a snowstorm, we docked at the Port of Los Angeles just as the sky was brightening into a temperate, sunny day. At the pier next to us was a gem: the Jeremiah O'Brien, a lovingly preserved Liberty Ship from World War II -- something nice to look at as the endless immigration process consumed much of the morning. But good friends waited to whisk us off for a splendid visit.

RIGA, Latvia, March 26 (UPI) -- Russian-speaking "non-citizens" of Latvia barred from voting in parliamentary elections will instead have parallel elections of their own, organizers say.
The leaders of the "Non-Citizen Congress" announced Saturday in Riga they have decided to organize a parallel parliament for Latvian non-citizens in the country who don't have the right to vote in the June 1 elections, the LETA news agency reported.
The group's initial congress convened last weekend, during which about 250 registered representatives presided over its first official business. Group founder Yuri Alexeyev said the number of people seeking to attend had doubled in the run-up to the event, which was called to focus attention on the legal limbo faced by Latvia's approximately 320,000 "non-citizens."
They are mainly Russian-speakers who immigrated to the country in the 1940s while it was part of the former Soviet Union. They have special passports and are seen by Latvia's post-independence officials as citizens of the former U.S.S.R., but without citizenship in either Russia or Latvia.
"The Non-Citizen's Congress is aimed at eliminating the institution of the non-citizen -- the non-granting of citizenship in one way or another," Alexeyev said. "We need an effective recipe to end the status of non-citizens. Since the government does not want to deal with it, we will do so by means of civil society."
The non-citizens, who make up about 15 percent of Latvia's population, can become naturalized if they can demonstrate a knowledge of the Latvian language but progress in naturalization has stalled after five years of efforts.
Latvia's political leaders blame the Russian-speaking minority for unwillingness to adapt due to ideological, historical and practical reasons, but Non-Citizen Congress task force member Elizabete Krivcova told LETA many of them have problems with naturalization due to health and age issues, not an unwillingness to naturalize.
The idea for the Non-Citizen Congress emerged in November when a referendum drive to grant automatic citizenship for the Russian-speakers organized by the For Human Rights in United Latvia party was derailed by the country's Central Elections Commission.
The activists collected 12,000 signatures from full Latvian citizens in support of the move -- thus passing the first stage of the referendum process. The next stage called for the collection of at least 150,000 more signatures, which would have qualified the bill for official support, Russian broadcaster RT reported.
But election officials voted to halt the process because it contradicted the principle of continuity guaranteed by the Latvian constitution and violated the European Union's opposition to the mass submission of citizenship applications on security grounds, CEC officials said.
Non-Citizen's Congress co-founder Valery Kamarov said the parallel parliamentary elections were important to demonstrate that the new congress could legitimately represent the interests of non-citizens.
But Riga mayoral candidate Sarmite Elerte, a high-profile member of the ruling Unity Party, said the Non-Citizen's Congress is a merely a political project that has little to do with a sincere desire to help people, LETA reported.
"Latvian citizenship law is fair and allows anyone who has lived in Latvia a certain number of years and has passed relatively simple language and history exams to gain citizenship," she said.
Elerte added that some have chosen non-citizen status to make it easier to travel to Russia while for others it is a matter of principal to cling to their identities as citizens of the U.S.S.R.

SAP Cloud Platform Cloud Connector setup for secure on-premise connectivity
You will learn
You will learn how to setup and configure the SAP Cloud Platform cloud connector (briefly, cloud connector) which is the recommended way to connect applications running on SAP Cloud Platform with on-premise systems.
The cloud connector is a software component, which runs as an on-premise agent in the on-premise network and acts as a reverse invoke proxy between the customer network and SAP Cloud Platform. For more details on the cloud connector, please refer to the online documentation.
Before you begin, please check the Prerequisites section in the cloud connector documentation, to see if your hardware and software is capable of running the cloud connector.
After verifying the compatibility, you need to download the cloud connector binaries for your operating system from the SAP Cloud Platform tools page: https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#cloud
For Windows and Linux there is a normal (installer) and a portable version available. Please check the documentation, if you're not familiar with the differences of the two version or need help making your decision: https://help.sap.com/viewer/cca91383641e40ffbe03bdc78f00f681/Cloud/en-US/57ae3d62f63440f7952e57bfcef948d3.html
This tutorial uses Windows as operating system and thus focus on the usage of the Windows MSI installer of the cloud connector. If you want to install the cloud connector on one of the other supported operating systems, please refer to the documentation how to install it on other operating systems.
Start the installation by double-clicking the
.msi file, and the installer welcome screen will appear.
Choose an installation folder for the cloud connector. The default is
C:\SAP\scc20. If you prefer a different location, simply adjust this value.
Thereafter you're requested to define the administration port of the cloud connector. Don't change the default value 8443, unless the port is already blocked by some other server. In this case simply choose an arbitrary port that is still available.
Decide whether the cloud connector shall be started after the installation has finished. In case this is desired by you, leave the check box marked, as we do it in this tutorial and press Next. You can also start and stop the cloud connector at an arbitrary time, how to achieve this is described in the next step of this tutorial.
Confirm that you really want to install the cloud connector. As soon as the installation has finished successfully, you can press the Finish button to complete the installation.
As the cloud connector is registered and started as a Windows Service, you can check its status within the Administrative Tools/Services administration tool in Windows as shown in the screenshot. Look for the service named SAP Cloud Connector and make sure it's running. You can also start, restart or stop the cloud connector service in the same tool whenever that is needed.
Pro-Tip: A quick way to lunch the Services administration tool is pressing the Windows-Key and R, which will open the run dialog, and entering
To establish the connection to your SAP Cloud Platform developer account, log on to the cloud connector administration UI by invoking the URL
https://localhost:8443 (you might have to substitute the port by the one you selected during the installation) in a Web browser.
Your browser will warn you that an untrusted certificate is used for the HTTPS connection. This is the case as the cloud connector is delivered with a self-signed
X.509 certificate. The documentation on how to configure a certificate that is trusted by your browser can be found in the Connectivity Service online documentation. In this tutorial, we accept the untrusted certificate. The cloud connector logon screen then is shown in the browser. As user and password, use the pre-defined credentials:
|User Name
When logging in the first time, the cloud connector asks for two things:
- Changing the initial password: Choose a strong password that cannot be guessed easily.
- The installation type of the cloud connector: Choose
Master (Primary Installation). The other choice
Shadow (Backup Installation)is used for a high availability installation of the cloud connector and is not used in this tutorial.
To connect to cloud connector to your SAP CP account, select
hanatrial.ondemand.com as Landscape Host, and specify your free developer account as Account Name (e.g.
For the User Name and Password, use your SAP Cloud Platform account user (e.g.
p12345678) and your SAP Cloud Platform password. In case your cloud connector is located within a corporate network that allows connectivity to internet resources only via a proxy, also specify the HTTPS proxy settings and click Save.
The main page of the cloud connector administration UI will appear. If the connection succeeded, you will see the Status with a yellow indicator as shown in the screenshot below. This indicates that you have a persistent SSL connection to your cloud account and are ready to use this connection in your cloud applications.
Click on the little arrow highlighted in the screenshot below to navigate into the account details.
Now that you have connected the cloud connector to your cloud account, you still need to configure the on-premise resources that will be made accessible to the applications running in your cloud account. By default, none of the on-premise systems and resources are available after the installation of the cloud connector.
To configure available resources, navigate to the Cloud To On-Premise > Access Control view in the cloud connector.
To add the on-premise systems click the + button in the Mapping Virtual to Internal System area.
In the Add System Mapping dialog box, you can configure a physical on-premise system and map it to a virtual host and port. The virtual host and port are the names which must be used in the cloud applications in order to address the respective system. Besides this, you need to configure the protocol that shall be used to access the related system. Currently, HTTP(S) and RFC are supported.
After a system has been added, you can configure the resources on that system to be exposed to SAP Cloud Platform. To add a resource, select the system in the upper table, and then click the + button in the resources table on the lower part of the view.
For HTTP resources, the dialog box displayed will look like the screenshot below. Note that you can configure also the base path of a group of services, and use the Path and all sub-paths radio button to enable all sub-paths at once. However, use this option with care, as it might cover more HTTP services than desired.
For more information on how to configure HTTP or RFC resources, see Configure HTTP resource in Cloud Connector and Configure RFC resource in Cloud Connector.
This tutorial has described the minimum steps required to install the cloud connector. For productive use of the cloud connector, you should also follow the recommendations regarding secure setup in the online documentation, and read the cloud connector operator's guide.
Review some related materials online:
- Tutorials: Sign up for an account on SAP Cloud Platform
- You should also review the system requirements for the cloud connector

Inspection completed at Heavener skate park
The Oklahoma Department of Tourism and Recreation has performed the required pre-construction inspection for the Heavener skate park and splash pad project.It is being partially funded through a Land and Water Conservation grant. Eve Atkinson and Susan Henry of tourism department met with Heavener City Manager Mike Kennerson and Nashoba Youth Foundation Director Lisa Fabian to perform the inspection and checklist. The completion of the checklist places the city one step closer to starting construction, which can begin as soon as the National Park Service provides its approval.Construction of the recreational improvements are to be funded through a grant from skateboard superstar Tony Hawk, donations from Nashoba, a tax increment bond fund and a land and water conservation grant. The facility will feature an 8,000-square-foot skate park and 2,000-square-foot splash pad, with handicap accessible walkways. Greg Mize of Native Skateparks will be the contractor. Mize built the Poteau Skatepark on Broadway.

The women and men of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign Canada will be in the vanguard of the National March for Life in Ottawa on May 9 and will talk about their abortion experiences and regret during an hour-long event, beginning at 2:45 p.m. on the steps of Parliament Hill.
Angelina Steenstra, National Coordinator for the Campaign, organized the first gathering in 2004 after attending the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., that January. She was moved by the courageous testimony of the women who spoke in front of the U.S. Supreme Court building about their abortion experiences and knew that a similar gathering would be a powerful addition to the March for Life in Canada. Her efforts were embraced by National March for Life organizers, and a dozen women gave their testimony on May 13 that year.
"We've been very embraced. People are extremely grateful for our courage," said Mrs. Steenstra, who last year was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in honour of her service to her fellow Canadians.
Janet Morana, co-founder of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, also will speak at the gathering.
"Women who have made the choice for abortion are the best qualified to talk about how devastating that choice has been," Ms. Morana said. "Experience trumps rhetoric every time."
Last year's National March for Life was attended by a record-breaking crowd of 20,000 people. More than 4 million unborn children have been killed through taxpayer-funded abortion in Canada since 1969.
"Support for abortion is the politically correct position in Canada, but the debate is ongoing in the public square," said Ms. Steenstra. "The Silent No More Awareness Campaign has contributed to the dialogue in a unique and meaningful way."
Since the launch of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign in 2003, 5,612 women and men have shared their testimonies publicly at over 1,195 gatherings in 48 states and 10 countries. More than 12,865 people representing 77 countries are registered to be Silent No More. Raising awareness about the hurtful aftermath of abortion and the help that is available to cope with the pain are two of the Campaign's goals. The Campaign has over 1,718 testimonies posted here, with over 214 that are shared via video!
The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a joint project of Anglicans for Life and Priests for Life. For more information, please visit our website:

Whats Your True Green?
If it cant be measured, it cant be green; leading manufacturers are turning to advanced metrics to show just how sustainable their products, processes, and plants really are.
When it comes to corporate sustainability, there are embracers and cautious adopters, says a recent report from MIT's Sloan Management Review. More and more, the report says, "the world is tilting towards embracers." Public policies, investors, and consumers alike are favoring companies who wholeheartedly go green [1].
Fortunately for pharma, most of its industry leaders are proven embracers. (See, for instance, "Pharma's Green Evolution," October 2009.) But as we all know, "green" and "sustainability" are vague, slippery terms. Sustainability in the business sense, according to the U.S. EPA, aims to "increase long-term shareholder and social value, while decreasing industry's use of materials and reducing negative impacts on the environment." The definition allows for a lot of wiggle room, so even the true embracers must answer to two simple words: prove it.
Feeling at least modest pressure to do so, many drug manufacturers are looking to green metrics for their processes, products, and facilities. Before an ever more jaundiced public, one's green fingerprint must be established.
|Green Metrics: Related Articles:
Scratching the Surface
Pharma's green metrics are developing, but still lacking, says Berkeley "Buzz" Cue, president of BWC Pharma Consulting and a founder of the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute's Pharmaceutical Roundtable. For pharma processes, for instance, says Cue, most major manufacturers are well acquainted with metrics such as process mass intensity (PMI, or kg material / kg product) and E-Factor (kg waste / kg product) to gauge the usage of solvents, reagents, water, and so on.
Still, pharma processes are environmentally taxing. "Typical E-factors or MI's are greater than 100 with the industry best E/MI around 10," Cue says. "That means the typical API process consumes more than 100 kg of materials to produce 1 kg of API. There is clearly room for improvement."
And clearly, not everyone's on the green bandwagon. As industry leaders begin to broaden and integrate their green metrics to provide more holistic information about what they do, they are the exception. "To my knowledge," Cue continues, "smaller pharma and biopharma companies do not generally track green metrics unless the metric is required to demonstrate compliance with environmental regulations."
And the generics industry, he adds, is largely absent in adopting green chemistry methods and subsequent metrics (an exception being Dr. Reddys, he notes). It's a real issue when one considers that generics comprise a growing majority of patient prescriptions, he says.
Whether branded or generic, big or small, does corporate management care? Are green metrics just for geeks and idealists? "Those corporate officers who live in the C-suite for the most part are unaware that their companies are even involved in green chemistry—let alone that metrics to measure the greenness of their products and processes are being developed," Cue says. "We are seeing more information about a company's green chemistry activities on their websites and in corporate annual reports, but this is just beginning."
Cue has heard tell that one major drug manufacturer may this year disclose E-factors for each of its commercial API processes. "It will be a huge positive step," he says. "Nothing like peer pressure." (Read here for the full interview with Cue.)
A Long Journey
It's helpful to remember that this "sustainability" thing is a fairly new phenomenon. J&J provides an example of the time and effort needed to establish a comprehensive, working sustainability program. The company began its formalized sustainability journey in 1995 with a clear set of guiding principles, the J&J Credo, says Ann Lee-Jeffs, the company's manager of Product Stewardship. The credo spelled out a management commitment to taking care of patients and employees, as well as the environment.
At the time, the company also began a series of five-year goals, the first aimed at pollution prevention. With those goals achieved, Next Generation Goals (NGG) were set in 2000 to target higher levels of our environmental, health and safety (EHS) accomplishments. These were expanded with Healthy Planet 2010 (HP2010), which went beyond EHS to cover sustainability areas such as transparency, biodiversity, and product stewardship, Lee-Jeffs notes. Finally, as the company's understanding of sustainability continued to expand, Healthy Future 2015 goals—and accompanying metrics—were set to cover areas such as social responsibility and supply chain.

Hey everyone, I really want to make pan-cooked bbq chicken for one of my bento, but I am very broke because of Christmas shopping! (Seriously, I can't even afford to buy a bottle of bbq sauce right now. >_>)
So I was wondering if you had any recipes of your own? I'd rather it not be too complicated--after all, I am broke. But I do have worcestershire sauce, ketchup, various cooking wines. The flavor doesn't have to be EXACTLY like bbq sauce, just similar and somewhat sweet--maybe even a little spicy.
Thanks for your help!
Onaka ga suiteiru!
I make my own, but it's neither quick nor particularly cheap, it's also more than just a little spicy but that's adjustable. Here's the recipe anyway. I made it up, trying to recreate one I used to buy which is no longer available. It was called Burning Desire, I call mine:
No Smoke Without …
(Hot and smoky tomato based barbecue sauce.)
Cooking time: 5 hours
2 - 3 kg tomatoes (approx) quartered
2 big onions chopped
6 cloves garlic chopped
3 heaped tablespoons treacle or molasses
2 handfuls sultanas
200ml Worcestershire Sauce
6 big dried (or not) Habañera (Scotch Bonnet) chilis, stalks removed, ripped to bits
2 teaspoons cayenne powder
3 tablespoons liquid smoke
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup malt vinegar
2 tablespoons salt
Pair of rubber gloves; put them on before ripping the chilis to bits. This will save you any amount of grief if you get itchy eyes within the next couple of days.
Put everything into a preserving pan or large pot.
Bring to boil, then simmer until everything is very mushy.
Put it all through a Mouli (food mill) or press through a colander or coarse sieve.
Discard the stuff that didn't get through - skins etc. There shouldn't be very much because you have been very thorough in your sieving.
Whizz the pulp in a blender until it is smooth.
Return to cleaned preserving pan or pot, bring to boil, simmer for as long as it takes to reduce the sauce to a nice thick consistency. Taste it, and adjust salt, sugar and vinegar.
Leave it until the next day and taste again (when your tongue has recovered) adjust again if necessary.
Bring to boil and bottle in hot sterilised bottles.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Thanks. It sounds super tasty. But yeah, I'd rather not have to go out and buy molasses and chiles and liquid smoke. Some of the other recipes I found online called for molasses and liquid smoke, too. I wonder if I should just try throwing together ingredients and see how it goes. =\
I just looked around to see what British recipes there might be as they might be simpler since the BBQ tradition is much more low key (liquid smoke isn't a common ingredient over here)
These two have similar basic ingredients:
which are: onion, garlic and chillies cooked into a paste with sugar and ketchup and other ingredients
Assuming you have soy sauce/shoyu to hand you may have all you need to make the first BBQ sauce from the BBC (I doubt the fennel is essential).
If you don't have brown sugar you can always caramelise some or just rely on the white sugar in the sauce caramelising once it has coated your pan cooked chicken.
But I would suggest looking at the Jamie Oliver recipe also and seeing if there are any elements and tips from that you can incorporate.
For next year (when you have some more cash) I really recommend Spanish smoked paprika as a substitute for liquid smoke, it's a wonderful ingredient and economic too as a little goes a very long way - I tend to mix a little in with regular paprika unless I'm making a paella style rice dish and want it to taste like it was cooked on firewood).
Liquid smoke isn't common here either. I find it really handy though, and use it on my home-cured bacon and some salamis instead of actually cold smoking them because I don't have a cold smoker. It works very well, being actual smoke dissolved in water. It gives quite a different flavour from smoked paprika, which I also love. Often I use both in salamis.
It's not in the least necessary in barbecue sauce though - I just put it in mine because the one I was trying to copy was smoky.
Thanks! Both those recipes sound nice and doable. :)
Yeah...am I weird for thinking the whole idea of liquid smoke is awesome? Smoke dissolved in water--it almost doesn't make sense.
I think they just bubble the smoke through water - a bit like a monster hookah pipe. I thought it'd be made up of a bunch of chemicals, like a flavouring, but no, they just dissolve smoke in water. So it has pretty much all the qualities of smoke, e.g. prevents the growth of mould on salami, and also makes it taste good.
Cool :)
Here is a basic sauce recipe I use.
1 Cup Ketchup
1 tbsp Mustard
3 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 tbsp Vinegar
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
3 tbsp Brown Sugar
1 tbsp Black Pepper

@bbarrillNo worries; thanks for your time.
I don't like to give up, but there's nothing else I can do at the moment without input from others.
I've made another attempt by adding
#!/usr/bin/env python # and..
if anyone is will to give it a go in osx
Please can someone with OSX test my QuickPrint feature briefly and let me know if it succeeds. Andy.
Another vote for print support.
I tried Sublime for a month, decided I liked it, paid for it... then needed to print something.
Surprise! This application does not print.
This sours the deal but doesn't kill it. Sublime Text 2 is still an excellent addition to my library, but... wow. That's a pretty basic feature. I expect I am among the masses taking that for granted.
Please consider making this a priority.
I don't know if native support for printing will ever be added to Sublime Text. Maybe in version 3 ... But for the rare occasions I need it, this plugin works well enough: SublimePrint. I first created it as a quick hack last april. It was then substantially extended by Kai Ellinger a few months ago, and again cleaned up by me just now. It has been submitted to package control, but you can get it directly from github.com/svenax/SublimePrint until gets is added. Give it a shot.
+1 for simple printing! Would be great even just to produce PDF pages of code. Right now there is no way from within Sublime to do this relatively basic task.
+1, I was just recommended Sublime and the first feature I was going to use, printing in color after importing a piece of code is not implemented, so holding a little bit before migrating here for now.
Can you please update the thread when this gets implemented so I have another look?
I just dropped $70 on what I had chosen as THE text editor in my tool set based on rave reviews and an impressive trial run. Obviously the trial didn't last long enough. Seriously, how hard is it to print text to a printer? I don't even need it to be syntax highlighted or anything. Oh, I get it...this is one of those jokes you play on the new guy. Ha, good one guys. You really had me going there. Now can I have the real version of the tool I just paid for?
You must be joking. Is there anyone who writes text and never needs to print it? Do I really have to switch to another editor just to print the few lines that I need to print?Is there any other editor that doesn't print? Or is this some sort of religious thing, like single buttoned mouses?
Ahem, well, sorry about the rant. Just my +1.
There are multiple plugins for this (producing IMO better output than any editor with built-in printing), most notably github.com/n1k0/SublimeHighlight.
Utterly amazed I can't print. Why does the Help system tell me I can when I can't.I want my money back.Junk software againOh: and no support for fortran either. Back to BBedit which atr least works well.
Did you have a look at the github.com/fraoustin/Sublime2pdf plugin. IMHO this is the nearest you can get printing-wise. Works like a charm out of the box.
Almost 4 years of the same request. It's an awesome tool... and could be awesome-r.
If we're going to pay for it, then listen to what is wanted. Printing, obviously, is wanted.
Surprising omission.
I searched Google because I thought I was just stupidly missing something obvious but, then, I found this thread.
I am currently assessing the demo of Sublime, is it missing a lot of basic features like this?
When working on big projects, I will quite often print out pages of code and assemble them on a big magnetic whiteboard, to give me a quick overview. I presumed this was a fairly common practice.
To be honest, I think omitting this feature is silly. It is a feature that should be implementable in relatively few steps, and little effort. And one that is often expected of a text editor, and requested frequently of Sublime Text.
Just bought Sublime Text 3 about an hour ago. Spent my time testing RegEx implementation, customization options, auto-completion abilities, etc. before purchase. Never even occurred to me I'd need to check for printing!
While I acknowledge printing isn't a highly used feature it's omission, for the few times you do need it, is frustrating. For a full featured editor at this price point, printing should be included - period.
stackoverflow.com/questions/1600 ... 2/19112383
I am a new user to ST. I was stunned when I tried to print and couldn't easily do so. Why WOULDN'T such a fundamental function be included? I've read some of the comments saying "I've been a {DBA/ web developer / whatever} for X years / decades / millennia... and I never need to print... or hardly ever... and then the comments saying how desperately print capability is needed. Where is the logic being applied here? If you're a ST user that never prints, mazel tov! But if you need to print, you should be able to. Printing is NOT an "after thought" or "not a high priority". What's the harm in it being there if you don't want to use it?
I think ST may be missing a fair share of market if they think the product is only used by coders / scripters. Those syntax / context sensitive aware capabilities are great. But there are folks that need just a raw text editor that can do global text editing across files or projects.
The value is there (increasing the perceived "bang for the buck" of a $70 editor. I WILL buy it if it could ever print. But consider... there are very capable & stable editors out there already - be it UltraEdit or EditPad Pro that DO print - right now, "as is" that don't cost what ST does. Last time I checked, for instance, EditPad Pro was like $40 or so. Don't get me wrong... I LIKE Sublime Text... Ok, I really like it, and had thought I would embrace it as my new default text editor. That's not to be if it can't print. I just won't love it until it can print like essentially every other app I use can. I shouldn't have to use Sublime Text to edit and then (but CAN if I NEED to) DreamWeaver, Word or Notepad to print. I'll start with the app that can "do it all" - even if only moderately well instead of an awesome but limited text editor.
Just my 2¢... YAMMV! I hope Sublime Text can print soon. I look forward to becoming a registered user at that time.
Well its not that i really want ST to print ... i dont really care.
I think tho, that its a feature that IS EXPECTED in a text editor, what is NOT expected in a text editor is that it is capable of showing images, and from a couple of months not ST does that, to be honest that doesnt make any sense for me.

Engadget: Kodak bringing 24x ultrazoom to CES?
We don't usually traffic in leaks and rumors, but this one's been getting more interesting and more plausible almost by the minute. Several sites reported earlier today that Kodak was preparing to launch a new 24x ultrazoom at CES, and Engadget has followed up on those rumors this afternoon with a press release, dated January 8, that seems to confirm the existence of the Kodak EasyShare Z980.
Via Engadget
Obviously, we don't have any embargoed information with which to confirm Engadget's find at the moment (else we wouldn't be reporting on this story…), but if the posted press release is legit, the Z980 will be a 12 megapixel camera with a 24x, 26mm wide-angle lens and HD video capture capability.
Assuming the press release is genuine, the Z980 will also feature – in an unusual move – a detachable, DSLR-style battery grip and vertical shutter release.
Per the post, Kodak is also allegedly prepping a new compact camera, the M380 (and potentially some M-series siblings as well), for launch this week. In both cases, the uncovered press release cites a spring retail release for the new models.
For the moment, at least, the Z980 and M380 have yet to show up on Kodak's official site. Assuming all of this information bears out, though, we'll follow up with an official product announcement and detailed specs once Kodak gives the go-ahead.
If the Z980 is actually what Kodak has up its sleeve for CES, it may prove to be most exciting show in recent memory for the manufacturer.

It's not unusual for some players, who all of a sudden find themselves worth an enormous amount of money, to take their time claiming their huge winnings. Many wish to get all of their financial affairs in order right away. Not Christopher Smythe of Temecula! He was in a rush to do something else. Approximately three hours after he discovered his $5 Million Jackpot Scratchers ticket hit the top prize, he was already at the Lottery District Office in San Bernardino to cash in his fortune.
"I've been playing and waiting for so long. I've been hoping of course that I'd win, but I've never won more than a thousand dollars. I guess the wait was worthwhile," laughed the 66-year old retiree. He was taking no chances he might lose that $5 million ticket – a game he bought for considerably less ($20) during a coffee run!
There are 25 squares on the $5 Million Jackpot game for players to scratch as they attempt to uncover the top prize. Do you know Smythe scratched away the first 19 squares and won a big fat zero? It wasn't until he got to final square #20 that, to the amazement of his eyes, he finally saw what he'd been dreaming to see – the numbers "$5,000,000" in big, bold fonts. "I immediately scanned it (the ticket at the retail location) to see if it was real, and then showed it to the girl who sold it to me. But she didn't believe it!'' recalled Smythe with another laugh.
Smythe said he tried to call his wife, but she didn't pick up! So he made one more call before heading to the Lottery District Office. He called his adult son, who, according to Smythe, "He said 'Spend it wisely.' That was the first thing out of his mouth! Then he told me not to do stupid things with it. Well I am somewhat of a gambler," added Smythe with yet another hearty chuckle.

Watching Monday's General George Handicap from New York, trainer Rick Dutrow had one word to sum up the results: "Beautiful."
"I loved it," Dutrow said by cell phone after his two runners — favorite Yawanna Twist and fourth choice This Ones for Phil — came home first and second in the $200,000 Grade II race at Laurel Park. Toby's Corner, last year's pre-Kentucky Derby favorite, took third and Eighttofasttocatch was fourth.
Ridden by former Maryland-based jockey Mike Luzzi, Yawanna Twist, a 5-year-old bay who finished fourth in the 2010 Preakness Stakes, broke well and found his way into position behind This Ones for Phil, who sprinted to a clear, early lead.
Yawanna Twist covered the 7 furlongs in 1:22.38 to win by a half length and claim his first stakes victory. It was Dutrow'ssecond General George win, following Well Fancied in 2004.
"[This Ones for Phil's jockey Ramon Dominguez] usually knows where he's going, so I just fell in behind him and waited until it was time to go," Luzzi said. "That was coming around the turn to the front stretch. It was pretty simple, and it couldn't have gone more perfectly."
Yawanna Twist was racing for the first time sinceNew Year's Eve, while This Ones for Phil ran and won Friday at Aqueduct. Dutrow said he could foresee this result .
"I think we were depending on Yawanna to run a huge race because he's been able to come off the bench and do that," Dutrow said. "I was expecting him to do it. And Phil gives it everything he has every time out, but you never know when the last race was just three days ago and there's a little shipping in between.
"But I was hoping the horse would like to do it. And if he liked it, I thought he had a good chance to win. It was really fun to watch."
Toby's Corner's trainer Graham Motion was also watching from another state. The Maryland-based trainer was at Gulfstream Park in Florida, where his 2011 Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom won Saturday in his first race since leg surgery last June.
"I'm thrilled by what I saw," Motion said by phone after watching the General George. "I thought it was a great effort [by Toby's Corner], especially since it wasn't his best distance, it was his first race since [winning the Wood Memorial last April] and he was giving weight to everybody. The two horses that beat him were running their perfect distances, and yet Toby was still coming on at the end. I couldn't be happier."
Eighttofasttocatch trainer Tim Keefe was not nearly as happy after watching his 6-year-old Not For Love gelding struggle with circumstances mid-race.
"Today, my horse did his best, but he had a troubled trip," Keefe said. "Coming around the turn we ran into traffic. There was a hole, and then Toby's Corner closed the hole and there was a wall of horses."
Eighttofasttocatch was forced to alter his course, and by the time he found open space to run, the finish line was at hand.
Dominguez said his horse was not tired from Friday's race and credited Dutrow with an uncanny ability to run horses back on short rest. Luzzi echoed that sentiment.
"He is a real horse trainer — an old-timer kind of style," Luzzi said. "To be in his barn is unbelievable. He is such a good trainer. He knows all his horses, loves all his horses and he really likes this horse."

After dropping an overtime decision to the Knights a year ago, Macalester lost another heartbreaker in the "Book of Knowledge" trophy game, falling to Carleton 21-20 in Northfield.
Macalester struck first, getting on the board with an Auburn Jimenez (Jr., East Los Angeles, Calif. / St. John Bosco)25-yard field goal after the Scots took 7:14 off the clock on a 13-play drive on its first possession. However, the Knights responded with TD passes to cap 76- and 53-yard drives to go up 14-3 early in the second quarter. The second came on a fourth-down play.
After a 1-yard Mike Adams (Sr., Chippewa Falls, Wis.) touchdown run reduced the Carleton margin to 14-10, CC defensive back Paul Hoffer intercepted a pass deep in Knight territory and returned it a school-record 99 yards with 3:25 left in the first half for the biggest play of the game.
The Scots were down 21-10 at the halftime break and nearly pulled off the comeback by keeping Carleton off the scoreboard in the final two quarters.
The Scots led 451-308 in total yards and 23-17 in first downs.
Spencer Robinson (Sr., Chattaroy, Wash. / Riverside) made nine tackles, including seven solo stops, to lead a solid Macalester defensive effort. Joe Dykema (Jr., Roseville, Minn.) added six tackles. Each registering Macalester QB sacks were Reid Callahan (Jr., Atlanta, Ga. / St. Pius X), Jesse Russell (Jr., Eden Prairie, Minn.) and Jason Schrad (Sr., Lincoln, Neb. / Southwest).
T. Joe Loiselle (Sr., Chippewa Falls, Wis.), who finished with 104 yards on the ground, ran it in from three yards out early in the fourth quarter to pull the visitors to within four at 21-17. The drive started when Adams returned the third quarter kickoff to just short of midfield. Late in the third period, the Scots received a 10-yard Loiselle scamper, followed by 20- and 15-yard runs by Adams, before settling for a 42-yard Jimenez three-pointer to make the score 21-20 heading into the fourth quarter.
Mac turned the ball over on its first two possessions of the fourth quarter as Carleton held on.
In addition to getting 104 yards from Loiselle, Macalester received 75 yards rushing from Adams, who also gained 44 yards on two punt returns and 74 yards on two kickoff returns.
Clark Bledsoe (Sr., Jacksonville, Fla. / Episcopal) went 18-for-39 for 279 yards. Sam Marshall (Sr., Sun Prairie, Wis.) gained 100 yards on his four catches. Ben Hillman (So., Watertown, Minn. / Watertown-Mayer) caught four for 61, C. J. Smith (Jr., Ashland, Wis.) caught four for 45, and John Johnson (Jr., McKenzie, Tenn.) gained 42 yards on a couple catches.
Conor Lynch rushed for 68 yards and passed for 120 and a touchdown to lead Carleton (3-2 on the season).
The Scots (3-2) play Rhodes College of Memphis, Tennessee, on Saturday (Oct. 13) at Macalester Stadium at 1 p.m. Rhodes comes in with a 3-2 mark in this first-ever meeting between these two schools.

If there was a prize at the Lipscomb basketball camps for the coach who brought his team from the farthest distance from Nashville Rodrigo "Duck" Martinez would be the all-time winner. This week Martinez, a former Bison basketball player, has been on campus with six players from the club team he coaches in Vacalla, Switzerland. In addition to watching over his players, ages 14-to-15, he has also been renewing old friendships. During a lunch break from camp activities he spent some time with Lipscombsports.com.
What sport did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I played basketball from1993 through 1998. I was a 6-foot-8, 240-pound post player. I played for coach Don Meyer. The assistant coaches when I first came to Lipscomb were Mike Roller and Ralph Turner.
"Eventually, coach Turner took a head coaching job at Union University. Tom Kelsey came over and joined coach Meyer. Jason Shelton also was part of the staff. John Hudy was also an assistant coach.
"When coach Roller took the head coaching job at the high school coach Hudy became the coach for post players."
What influenced you to want to play for Lipscomb?
"I came from Rosareo, Argentina. When I was 18 and finished high school I decided I wanted to continue my studies in the U.S. and I was lucky enough and blessed enough that coach Meyer offered me a scholarship to attend Lipscomb. It was a fantastic five years.
"I had seen pictures of the school. Coach Meyer contacted Rod Pastore's Dad. Rod was a former Bison. They showed me a copy of "The Babbler". I did not really know what I was getting into. All I wanted was to keep playing basketball. My Mom was very intense about me pursuing a university degree.
"I knew it was a good place. I knew coach Meyer was a good coach. It was my first trip to the United States. I came here for the start of the school year."
How did you get the nickname "Duck"?
"When I was a baby my mother called me patito, which means duckling. As I grew up it became pato which means duck. It is a common nickname that moms give to their babies in Argentina."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"It has to be every time we beat Belmont. Those were very special games. Every time we were able to outperform them on the basketball coach it was awesome.
"We played two games against them at Memorial Gym at Vanderbilt. We won one and lost one. But it didn't matter where we played them. We could have played them at the Burton Gym and it was still going to be a great game. Every time we took the floor against Belmont it was something else.
"My sophomore year we made it to the NAIA Final Four and that was big along with the memories you make with your teammates in the dorm and on road trips."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"All of the coaches from coach Meyer to coach Roller and coach Hudy. From an athletic point of view the messages and the lessons they passed to all of us are priceless.
"Coach Meyer passed along a passion for teaching and a love for the game to all of us. I remember after working my first summer camp I was laying in my room at High Rise and looking up at the ceiling and thinking how much I would love to coach."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"I enjoyed going to classes and the relationships that I built with my teachers and classmates who were not part of the basketball team.
"My nickname was `Duck' and I remember a couple of my classmates who were part of the `McQuiddy Maniacs' used to bring their duck calls they used while hunting. Every time I would get on the court they would start making noise."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"It has to be a combination of the spiritual part and the athletics.
"I took many things away from the basketball court. But the first thing that comes to mind is to do your best and do what you love. If you your best you should be satisfied with your effort.
"From the spiritual part it is all about being a servant - to always be ready and eager to help people. Coach Meyer talked about being a servant-leader on the court and that was also the message all the professors tried to get across to us was to be a servant and serve one another."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"I had a great time going to class. I had a double major in computer information systems and business administration.
"The No. 1 person I think about is my advisor, Seth Carmody. He was a great influence for me. He was awesome in guiding me through the classes I needed to choose and the path I needed to take academically. One year he told me if I take this class instead of this one you can finish with a double major instead of a major and a minor. He was on top of his game.
"I get a chance to see him every time I come back to Nashville. It is always fun to see him and go out and grab something to eat together.
"Michelle Putnam is another teacher I remember from the computer department. I enjoyed going to her classes. She also was a great influence on me.
In the Bible department I remember Mac Lynn, Dr. Tom Seals and Dr. Mark Black."
Where do you live now?
"I live in Vacallo, Switzerland. I am going into my fourth year of living there."
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"I coach at a club, Società Atletica (SAV) Vacallo, which is a multi-sport club. I coach the under 19 team. We also have rugby, soccer, snow skiing and track. It is a very big organization.
"It is in Vacalla, Switzerland. It is in the south of Switzerland. The language we speak is Italian and the culture is very similar to the culture in Italy.
"I am the technical director of the youth movement. I coordinate the under-19 team, the under-16 team and the under-14 team. I select the coaches and provide them with a technical program. I have to make sure we are developing our players and making our teams better."
How have your players enjoyed the trip and the camp?
"They are having a great time. We are here until July 2 and then we are heading to New York City until July 5.
"It will be more of a sightseeing trip. Luka Berva, another coach with me, is going to work with the kids trying to let them discover how many roles they have as young men. They are sons, they are brothers, they are friends, they are basketball players and they are students. We want to help them identify all these roles and develop strategies to fulfill those roles to the best of their potential. We learned a lot of that from coach Meyer."
Before you started coaching you had a long professional career. What was it like to play basketball professionally in two different countries?
"Right after college I went back to play basketball in Argentina. I played five years in the first league in Argentina.
"It was a dream come true. From the time I was 13 or 14 all I wanted to do was play basketball. I wanted to be able to make basketball a profession.
"It didn't matter if I was playing in front of 10,000 or in front of 500. What matters are your teammates, the way you play and the way you execute things. It has been a lot of fun playing overseas.
"I signed to play in the A2 League in Italy where I played for another seven to eight years. I was getting old. My back was hurting a little too much. My knees were almost done. I decided to stop playing and started coaching. I love it.
"I picked up Italian while playing there. It was easier to learn Italian than English because Italian and Spanish are similar."
Tell us about your family.
"I am single. My Mom, Nelly, and Dad, Arturo, still live in Argentina. They are retired and doing great. My brother, Sebastian, works in Argentina.
"After I get back to Switzerland from this trip I am going to Argentina for the last two weeks of July and the first week of August."
