Is it possible to have multiple pattern lock implemented in an android device to increase it's security. I know that it must be possible to design an app to do that, but my question is whether any app has already done it?
Asking a Similar Question, is it possible to install more than one app that lock my screen with pattern lock and use them simultaneously? Will it cause any kind of clashes or other troubles?

5 ways to exercise without even trying
Burn calories the easy way with these 'workouts'
Working out is not just an adrenaline-pumping thrill for motivated athletes and individuals anymore.
Contrary to popular belief, getting in shape can be a fun activity without dripping sweat, resulting in the feeling of sore muscles and accomplishment afterward. In fact, there are many types of exercises people can participate in without even feeling as if they are exercising in the first place.
Everyday functions and activities such as driving and talking can even burn calories. For example, laughing for 15 minutes can burn between 10 and 40 calories, and the average adult burns around 500 calories when sleeping for eight hours.
Needless to say, barbells, sweat towels and cringing outbursts of anger are not a requirement for a good workout, just a good attitude, determination and a bit of fun-loving energy.
No. 5: Dancing
Bopping to favorite tunes and shaking your hips when out on the town is one of the most energetic methods of exercising, and it can lead to great weight-reducing results if practiced frequently.
For example, an individual weighing 150 pounds can burn 109 calories every 10 minutes while dancing.
Zumba is a fairly new, Latin dance class incorporating intervals of fast and slow dancing with resistance training to produce sculpted bodies in no time. Sessions are one hour long, and the program has become so popular that 7.5 billion people around the world participate every week.
Another popular, more scandalous dance workout (strictly for women) was created by actress and filmmaker Sheila Kelly. Known as The S Factor, participants follow pole dancing routines combining ballet, yoga and striptease techniques to ultimately strengthen the upper body while simultaneously engendering confidence.
However, as our next selection will show, more mundane activities have just as much body-benefiting potential, even though they may lack excitement ...
No. 4: Everyday chores
Everyday chores around the house may not necessarily be voluntary activities, but after a day's work, the completed tasks bring about a sense of accomplishment and the need to relax.
For instance, walking the dog is a necessity for owners as a way to give their pets exercise. However, a 2006 study proved that dog owners received as much as twice the amount of exercise as those without dogs because of additional walking time each week.
Pulling weeds and tilling ground involve twisting and reaching movements and occasionally mighty doses of heavy lifting. Therefore, gardening has also been shown to improve health, such as decreasing the risk of diabetes and high blood pressure. Other calorie-burning chores include mowing the lawn, carrying groceries and rearranging furniture.
Mindless forms of entertainment are a welcome change after finishing the day's chores, but nowadays entertainment systems can make you work for your success too, as you will soon see ...
No. 3: Playing video games
Playing video games is not just for coach potatoes any longer. Some video games come with physical extensions besides controllers, and select consoles were designed with mobility in mind.
The popular Dance Dance Revolution game uses a floor mat for players to step on when music-prompted arrows appear on the screen. The game has been incorporated into physical education curriculums and has also been shown to increase hand-eye coordination. Besides assisting with weight loss, Dance Dance Revolution can teach a few dance steps along the way.
Nintendo's motion-sensor Wii system practically requires physical movement by its participants to play games, and Wii Fit and EA Active are fitness-driven programs with aerobic features and personal trainers. Otherwise, simple Wii games like tennis and boxing can break a sweat. Sony's PlayStationMove and the Xbox Kinect system also require you get up off the couch to play your video game.
After mastering a virtual sport, playing athletics in real time is a piece of cake (although consuming a slice is not recommended for maintaining a healthy lifestyle) ...
No. 2: Play some games
Playing casual sports in the backyard or at formal matches provides a way to stay active in the company of friends while pushing your body to the limit.
Participating in popular sports such as football aides in developing physical skills like speed, stamina and endurance, and football players tend to have fewer risks of developing issues such as osteoporosis and hypertension.
Swimming has countless benefits as well, especially with the cardiovascular system because it improves the way the body inhales oxygen without exhausting the heart. It has also been reported that swimmers can burn as many calories per hour as someone running six miles in the same time period.
Other easily acquired sport activities include playing catch, riding a bike, throwing a Frisbee or jumping on a trampoline.
But while the great outdoors provide limitless opportunities for exercise, believe it or not, constricted indoor spaces can also procure workout space ...
No. 1: Get an office workout
Sitting at a desk from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. is not an ideal environment for exercising, plus, after sitting for long periods of time, back pain starts to form. But multitaskers, rejoice: exercising at work is easier than it sounds and can even blend in without looking bizarre.
To build shoulder and chest strength, place hands on chair armrests and gently lift yourself off of the bottom. Lower back down until almost touching seat, hold for a few seconds and repeat 15 times.
To prevent tight muscles, stretch by facing forward, turning head to the left and torso to the right, holding for a few seconds. Then repeat 15 times with alternating sides.
Finally, one minute of high-impact exercise is recommended to jump-start heart rate, and though performing jumping jacks next to the fax machine may be out of the question, running up and down the stairs is a more reasonable alternative.

So, I'm on a diet. I'm getting married at the end of next month and I've just realised that the reason people get really thin before they get married is because they go on a diet. I thought the weight just miraculously fell off due to stress or something.
But no, actually you have to stop drinking and go for a run and stop eating rounds of toast covered in Nutella while you watch 12 back-to-back episodes of Judge Judy that you recorded on the V+ box. For example.
Yesterday I went shopping and bought diet food. That is, I bought cheese and a lot of vegetables like kale and spinach and bok choi and broccoli and some artichoke hearts in a jar. And I also bought some chicken livers and chorizo. Carb-free - that's the secret to upper arms like Sandra Bullock when you're 40. I am so pleased Sandra Bullock won an Oscar. I don't know why but I just think she's nice and is probably deserves it after all her hard work in movies like 28 Days, Speed and Miss Congeniality.
Anyway so last night I had my first diet dinner of grilled chicken thighs and a broad bean salad.
When I was younger, I always thought that the easy thing to cook was chicken breasts, under a grill. But it turns out that they are as dry as cotton wool and boring as hell if you grill them. The things to grill are chicken thighs, which stay juicy, but they are still relatively quick to cook - about 25-30 mins under a hot grill. And a broad bean salad can be cheered up with some feta, broccoli and artichoke hearts and a lemony, salty dressing with mint and dill.
It's still freezing outside and this is rather a summery dinner but I just don't want to eat anymore GOD DAMNED stew.
So here we go:
For 2
4 chicken thighs
two large handfuls of broad beans
about eight small florets of broccoli
8 or so artichoke hearts
100g of feta, cubed
olive oil
lemon juice
There are a lot of herbs here, I know - I use herbs more when I'm on a diet to liven up boring diet food and bought a lorry-load especially on Monday morning. None of them are especially compulsary, this would still be okay without them. You might also notice that I haven't included any garlic - this is because I don't eat raw garlic, but feel free to add it in to the dressing or to the chicken marinade if you do.
1 - Turn on the grill and marinade the chicken thighs (if you've got time) in some olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper and thyme. If you're just putting the chicken straight under the grill, sprinkle a bit of salt on the skin so it goes crispy. Grill these for about 25-30 minutes and check they're done before serving. I know, stupid thing to say, but I am constantly being caught out by slightly underdone chicken. It doesn't help that often in a pack of 4 chicken thighs, 2 will be enormous and 2 will be tiny, meaning differing cooking times.
2 - Boil the broad beans and broccoli for about 5 minutes each and drain.
3 - Mix together the oil, lemon, salt, pepper, mint and dill in a dressing according to your taste. If you're using a very grassy olive oil, you might like to mix in some ground nut oil as well. I hate it when recipes say "according to taste" but, genuinely, you might hate mint and love lemon - or something.
4 - Put the broccoli, beans, artichoke hearts and feta in a salad bowl, pour over dressing and toss together.
5 - Let the chicken thighs rest for 10-15 minutes to avoid post-cooking rubberiness. You may want to squeeze over the chicken some extra lemon, as Giles is doing in the picture above.

NASA has now completed the scientific and technical evaluation (Stage 1) of proposals received in response to the Amendment to NASA Research Announcement NRA 02-OSS-01, "Research Opportunities in Space Science - 2002", entitled "Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer Guest Observer Program - Cycle 8.".
A list of accepted targets is now available on the Web.
US-based investigators are now invited to submit Stage 2 (budget) proposals for support of selected Cycle 8 proposals. The budget process is open to Guest Observers associated with US institutions (and who expect to remain so during the grant period), and may include (a) US PIs, and (b) US Co-Is on foreign-PI proposals, where the involvement of the US Co-I is significant, and critical to the success of that investigation.
Note that only one budget per accepted observing proposal will be allowed, i.e. US PIs must submit a budget including the required support for all of the eligible co-Is, and the US Co-Is on a foreign-PI proposal must designate a Lead Co-I and submit a budget as a group. It is permitted and encouraged that subgrants be utilized to fund Co-Is at separate institutions to avoid double overheads, thereby increasing the cost effectiveness of these grants.
To guide the proposer in formulating a realistic funding request, factors such as the scope, complexity, and relative ranking of the investigation should be taken into account, including any modifications (e.g. deletion of targets, reduction in observing time) to the original proposals recommended by the Stage 1 review panel. Additional factors that will be considered include the possible presence of other proposals for which a given PI or Co-I is requesting funding under this solicitation, and other sources of support relevant to this request.
A total of approximately $700K is available for the support of approximately 50 Cycle 8 Guest Investigations of 1 year duration each. For Stage 2, a review team comprised of a subset of the Stage 1 Panel will be convened by NASA to review the cost proposals against factor (4) of the evaluation criteria as specified in Section C.2 of the NASA Office of Space Science Guidebook for Proposers "Guidebook for Proposers". Based upon the results of the above reviews, the RXTE Program Scientist will recommend a set of proposals to the Director, OSS Astronomy and Physics Division, for final selection.
In preparing a Stage 2 submission, the proposer must follow the detailed guidelines provided.
The PI (or the lead Co-I of a foreign-PI proposal) is responsible for submitting a single package containing the budget request for a given proposal. Please submit the signed original and ten (10) hardcopies of the completed proposal package not later than 4:30pm EST on Tuesday 15 April 2003 to:
Dr. Patricia T. Boyd RXTE Guest Observer Program Code 660.1 Goddard Space Flight Center National Aeronautics and Space Administration Greenbelt, MD 20771-0001 USA Tel: 301-286-2550 FAX: 301-286-0708 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
We expect to complete the Stage 2 Review in 2003 May, at which time you will be informed of the final recommended funding level for your proposal(s). As always, any questions about this process should be directed to the the RXTE Guest Observer Facility.
Further Information
If you have a question about RXTE, please send email to one of our help desks.

Are they obvious… or subtle?
I don't think everyone has a point to make… unless, of course, you also want to consider straight-out information distribution as a way to convince others that the Civil War and/or particular aspects of it ARE important. In that case, yes… there is rhetoric involved, to some degree.
But, how much time do Civil War bloggers think about their "pitch"? Is it geared toward content… audience… that desire to achieve numbers in visitors… fulfilling something, a need perhaps (a need for expression, enabled through a blog?), within self? What? A little bit of all of the above and more, perhaps?
When I started blogging I thought about all of these things because… I had to.
This blog was rooted in a course in hypertext theory (great stuff… loved it…), but obviously, it went a lot further than one semester. A lot of what I wrote back in the first two years was a mixture of content, but with the intent of seeing how different approaches worked. Sometimes I'd get lost in the heated interaction/exchanges that resulted. That wasn't good… but it wasn't altogether bad either. It was an opportunity to learn about human-to-human interaction on the Web, which, I guarantee you, is not always the same as human-to-human interaction in person. There's something about being behind a keyboard and a screen that turns many folks into different creatures. Perhaps it's because of the absence of a few human factors that we normally have when we are in face-to-face environments. I could go down a different path here, but I'm going to keep myself in check…
I think we each have a "pitch"… sometimes the same, sometimes different.
Mine has changed from my first years as a blogger. I've moved more to a subtle approach, and that might be at the expense of numbers on the clicker… but that's ok, really.
My rhetoric is the history itself, though I certainly have fun with it as a story-weaver… just never at the expense of the history.
If you haven't figured out my "pitch" or "angle", look at the subheader.
As a Southerner and native of the Shenandoah Valley, I offer reflections on the Civil War-era South… and sometimes a little more. But… expect the unexpected
Maybe that's too vague.
For many years I consumed the standard fare that is so typical and common of the story of the South in the Civil War. When I learned there were actually other elements of that story, it changed my approach to the war. It also helped to know that some of my people were part of that other story.
In essence, I write, I suppose… in a counter-culture fashion, and against the traditional. Some might view that as "radical" in a bad way, but I disagree. My pitch is to challenge readers to read outside the box; to look at the story of the South and its people in the war in a different light. It might reach some, but not others… but that's ok, too.
So, is it a mind-game… this rhetorical approach to information distribution?
In a way, yes, but understand… if a reader is convinced or not… is it that which really matters?
We can't always gauge the impact of our writing, but, can it be enough to know that, even if only for a little while, you made someone think in a broader sense?
Did your writing, if just for a little while, share your vision without some confrontational clash with the other person's perspective? We don't always know, but I think that is the more effective rhetorical approach.
When it comes to "pitch"… to each his/her own, but what yields the most sustainable results? What rhetorical approach survives long-term? Which approach works in the vacuum of time that exists in a blog? Is it better to seek to change one's mind through a more direct, confrontational approach, or is it better to be more subtle by offering a non-confrontational opportunity to see things through the writer's eyes… if only for a little while?
Is history really controversial or is it merely an individual's approach to history, through rhetorical pitch, that can make it controversial?
What is the longevity of your approach to history, and is it more reflective of you than the history?

Dale and Thomas Popcorn
Several flavors and sizes of bagged Popcorn, Indiana-brand popcorn have been recalled because the products may be contaminated with listeria.
Dale and Thomas Popcorn of Englewood, N.J., is recalling nearly 700,000 bags of its flavored snacks because they may have been contaminated with listeria during the production process.
The gourmet popcorn maker is voluntarily recalling 14 flavors of its "Popcorn, Indiana" products made between Aug. 8 and Sept. 25 after detecting listeria on some mechanical equipment, said company spokesman Travis Ferber.
"A handful" of illnesses possibly related to the product have been reported but not confirmed, Ferber said.
The recall includes several sizes of ready-to-eat gourmet popcorn in the following flavors: aged white cheddar, almond biscotti, American cheese, apple crisp, bacon ranch, black-and-white drizzle, caramel, caramel roasted peanuts, chocolate peanut butter, cinnamon sugar drizzle, dark fudge chocolate chip drizzle, kettlecorn, salt and pepper and wasabi reserve.
The products have "Best By" dates of Feb. 4, 2013 through March 12, 2013.
Because the recall is limited to specific sizes of bags with certain "Best By" dates, consumers should check the list of affected products, linked here, to see whether their snacks are included. Consumers can return recalled products to the place of purchase for a full refund or replacement.
The potentially dangerous bacterium, listeria monocytogenes, was not believed to come from the source products such as the popcorn or the flavorings, Ferber said. However, the contamination from the equipment appears to have spread to the food, he added.
Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in children, pregnant women, elderly people and those with compromised immune systems. Symptoms include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

text: HORICON -- A Horicon man was allegedly drunk behind the wheel of his van when he drove it onto and then through the ice on Brant Lake, north of Lake George. Stuart Mead, 60, of Palisades Road in Horicon was charged with driving while intoxicated and reckless driving, misdemeanors, as well as other charges after he drove his 2008 Kia Sedona out onto the ice, which could not support the van's weight. Mead managed to extricate himself from the van before it sank into Brant Lake. He was not injured and managed to walk himself back to land for help. State Police arrested him after he refused to take breath tests. He was released on $10,000 bail, to reappear Feb. 14. His car is scheduled to reappear above water Saturday, when police expect to remove it.

Storage redux: Purchase plans reviving
Our latest Storage Purchasing Intentions survey suggests that there may be a glimmer of hope for the economy based on storage managers purchase plans.
"It ain't over till it's over," said Yogi Berra. While the persistent economic doldrums aren't over yet, storage managers may finally be seeing a brighter future.
Storage managers may finally be seeing a light at the end of the economic tunnel or, as the old joke goes, maybe it's an oncoming train. But after a train wreck of an economy, it looks like storage budgets may be creeping back to something resembling normalcy. Of course, "normalcy" is a relative term, as those budgets are still hovering in negative territory.
Last spring when the full impact of the recession was starting to sink in, storage managers were feeling the same sting that hobbled virtually every business. In that earlier edition of our Storage Purchasing Intentions survey, data storage managers reported that their 2009 storage budgets were likely to be 1.9% less than 2008's. While that might not seem like a huge dip, it did represent a nearly five point drop from what they reported in the fall of 2008. And it was the first time in seven years that we saw a negative number when we asked storage managers to compare their budgets year over year. In our most recent survey, conducted in early September, the picture is a little brighter. Compared with 2008, storage budgets are a mere 0.4% lower -- not back into positive numbers, but certainly more encouraging than six months ago. Overall, 30% of those surveyed reported decreased budgets, 28% said their budgets would remain flat and almost 33% said their budgets increased.
The spring-to-fall shift in budget levels and planned spending is a common occurrence. Managers appear to be more cautious in the spring when estimating what they'll have to spend for the year; by autumn, many of them see their budgets rise a bit. New projects, unexpected expenses and newfound funds all seem to contribute to this annual swing. In sheer dollars, the average storage budget reported was $2.9 million, which is the same figure as last spring. However, some very large budgets tend to skew the average upward, as 57% of respondents reported budgets less than $1 million.
|About the survey
The Storage magazine/SearchStorage.com Purchasing Intentions survey is fielded twice a year; this is the seventh year the survey has been conducted. Storage magazine subscribers are invited to participate in the survey, which gathers information related to storage managers' purchasing plans for a variety of storage product categories. This edition had 826 qualified respondents across a broad spectrum of industries, with the average company size measured as having revenue of $1.5 billion.
Still cautious and coping with capacity
The survey results suggest that, rather than slashing and burning their way through their storage budgets, storage managers are more likely to couple a "trim here, trim there" approach with newer technology implementations to stem costs.
Regardless of budget size, funds are allocated in the familiar proportions that we've seen over the years, with disk system expenses gobbling up the biggest chunk (39%) of the overall budget. One might expect that as disk prices have dropped significantly over that period, the percentage that disk represents would also have proportionately diminished. But the "x factor" here is the need for new capacity; so as capacity demands soar, users need to buy more disks.

The need for new capacity hasn't let up, although this survey's numbers suggest that storage managers might get a little needed relief through the rest of the year. On average, companies will be adding 34 TB of new disk capacity, a fairly hefty figure, but down significantly from last spring's 43 TB (although larger companies are still looking to add an average of 68 TB). It appears that data storage managers have made some adjustments to deal with capacity demands, like employing tools such as thin provisioning, compression and data deduplication to make better use of already installed capacity and perhaps forestall some new purchases. Of course, they may simply have less money to spend, causing some projects to get pushed into next year or beyond.
When storage managers do make disk purchases, they're more likely to try to fill in the capacity of their existing arrays than opt for completely new systems. Thirty-seven percent said their primary disk expenditures would be for new disks for old systems. We've seen this "build out vs. buy new" trend for the past three years; it will be interesting to see if it shifts back to new system purchases as installed gear approaches its end of life or end of lease.
For those planning to buy new storage systems, midrange products will figure into the buying plans of nearly 50% of respondents. Although Fibre Channel (FC) systems are still the top choice, iSCSI continues to make gradual inroads; 12% said they'll buy iSCSI this year, up a couple of points from last spring, while other disk system categories stayed flat or lost a little ground.
iSCSI systems are becoming fixtures in the data centers of all sizes of companies. Among our respondents, the average disk capacity that they have installed is 75 TB, and most of that is on FC SANs (62%) or network-attached storage (NAS) systems (63%). But 35% said they're using iSCSI storage now, up a few points compared with last spring's or last fall's numbers. And that number looks like it will be augmented, as 43% said they plan to or have deployed iSCSI systems this year. That's approximately 3 points higher than last fall and the highest number we've seen to date. The way iSCSI systems are being used also reflects the technology's maturity; 47% said they'll use their iSCSI systems for mission-critical apps, the highest number we've seen to date. For smaller companies, iSCSI has taken on an even greater role, with 61% using it for critical applications (also a new high).
Among the storage vendors respondents purchased from in 2009, EMC Corp. is still top dog, but its lead over Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard (HP) Co. has dwindled by a few points; IBM and NetApp Inc. round out the top five. The primary reason for selecting a particular disk vendor is still the features and functions the product offers (29%) but economic times have had an effect on selection criteria. The second-most-cited selection criteria is that a vendor already supplies other technology to the company (23%); the comfort factor certainly figures in, but it's also likely that a vendor with its foot firmly in the door might cut some special deals for storage purchases. Price, traditionally a lesser selection factor, is up to fourth at 16%, just a point behind tech support.

New storage technologies gain ground
Solid-state storage is the current darling of the storage world, garnering the lion's share of the new tech buzz. For many, however, solid state is still suffering from the "terrible toos" -- too new, too untested and too expensive. But our current survey turned up some interesting results: 8% of respondents said they're using solid-state drives (SSDs), with another 3% planning implementations this year. Thirty-five percent are evaluating the technology.
Of those using SSDs, 48% have them in their arrays, 25% are using SSDs as direct-attached storage (DAS) in servers, and approximately 14% report implementations in their arrays and servers. Apparently, the efforts of solid-state drive vendors to counter high price-per-gigabyte claims with more performance-oriented comparisons to hard drives are paying off. And SSD users may also be reaping the benefits of much lower power consumption, although power conservation still isn't top of mind with most data storage managers. Thirty-nine percent of those surveyed said energy efficiency is either the most important criteria or a major factor in choosing an array, essentially the same percentage reported last fall.
Higher-speed storage networking protocols are also nudging SSD and dedupe for the storage spotlight, with 10 Gbps Ethernet (10 GbE) and 8 Gbps FC now available. And while changes to the networking infrastructure are usually painfully slow developments, there's been some noteworthy movement toward these two new protocols.
Currently, the most widely used storage networking protocols are 4 Gbps FC (48%) and 1 Gbps Ethernet (33%). But 8 Gbps FC is used by 14% of respondents, with 13% reporting that they've made the move to 10 GbE.
The value of virtualization
Server virtualization is ubiquitous, with 84% of respondents noting that they've virtualized all or some of their servers. And the effects of server virtualization on storage have become key issues for many of those installations. Forty-nine percent of those surveyed chose Fibre Channel for their virtual server storage, but iSCSI is gaining in popularity. Last fall, only 12% said they hook their virtual servers up to iSCSI storage systems; this time, 18% noted their preference for the technology. In smaller companies, the iSCSI preference is even stronger, with 25% indicating they use it for their virtual servers. (DAS is often dismissed as a viable storage solution for virtual servers, but 11% of those surveyed said DAS is their choice.)
Backup has been the most prominent storage pain point for virtualized server environments. Forty-four percent of our survey takers said they use traditional backup software and methods for their virtual servers, putting agents as required on each virtual machine (VM). VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB), touted as a backup method to save on software licensing costs, is used by only 20% of respondents -- a somewhat surprising figure as VCB has been so widely endorsed. VM-specific backup products, like PHD Virtual Technologies' esXpress, Veeam Software's Veeam Backup & Replication and Vizioncore Inc.'s vRanger Pro, have also drawn a lot of attention, but only 6% of those surveyed said they were using products like these in their VM backup operations.
The biggest problems users have run into when backing up virtual servers is backing up too much data, cited by 27% of respondents, and possibly linked to their use of traditional backup methods. Twenty-three percent said the VM backup is just too complicated, while 17% indicated that access to individual files (a frequent issue with VM backups) was their biggest source of frustration.
Although outstripped by server virtualization in terms of implementations, storage virtualization is inexorably gaining favor in storage shops. Among the reasons for the relatively slow uptake for storage virtualization is that it's considerably harder (and more expensive) to do than server virtualization and brings with it the ominous "vendor lock-in" that looms with most virtualization choices.
Still, 31% report virtualizing at least some of their storage, which is up from 26% last fall -- a fairly significant jump of 5 percentage points in a short time. Block storage is still the initial candidate of choice for virtualization, with 18% of those surveyed having virtualized all of their block storage and 61% indicating they've virtualized some of their block storage. Approximately 7% of respondents have virtualized all of their file storage, while 44% have virtualized some file storage. These are perhaps still modest numbers considering how long virtualization products have been available, but the numbers cited here all represent increases vs. last spring.
More efficient backup operations
Space-saving storage technologies, most notably data deduplication and compression, are still key parts of storage managers' efficiency arsenals for coping with increasing capacities and declining budgets.
Each year we see that tape figures less and less prominently in most companies' storage operations, but that trend also illustrates the efforts of storage managers to squeeze their data down to more manageable sizes. Last spring, we saw the lowest number ever (19%) for respondents who said they planned to increase their use of tape and, conversely, the highest percentage yet (29%) for those who plan to decrease their reliance on tape. Those numbers moderated a bit in the current survey, but the trend is clear, although 80% say all or some of their backup data will eventually find its way to tape (down from 86% two years ago).
Even among those respondents who have already bought or plan to buy a tape library in 2009, most are opting for smaller libraries. The average number of slots in the tape libraries they plan to purchase was 109, which is slightly higher than the 101 reported last spring, but still the second lowest number we've seen. But declining slot numbers have a positive side as they point to greater tape library efficiencies, most notably from the use of newer drives. Forty-nine percent of respondents indicated their new libraries would have LTO-4 drives that deliver higher capacity and speed, as well as encryption. Interest in encryption is also starting to translate into actions, with 51% of those surveyed saying they're encrypting at least some backup data, a 7 point gain over last fall. And, once again, encryption ranked second among the newer technologies that respondents plan to implement or evaluate this year (see "Top 10 techs in 2009 implementation/evaluation plans," below).
Click here to view "Top 10 techs in 2009 implementation/evaluation plans," as well as a PDF of other purchasing charts.
Of course, disk is de rigueur for backup operations these days, and storage managers will continue to invest in disk-to-disk (D2D) technologies that can improve efficiency. Overall D2D spending appears to be bouncing back from last spring; only 10% said they'll decrease D2D spending (vs. 13% last spring), while 44% plan to increase spending (vs. 34% in the spring). These are positive signs not only for backup vendors, but for beleaguered backup administrators.
Most shops (43%) have integrated disk into their backup systems as a file system-based target or cache; virtual tape libraries (VTLs) are the second most popular approach (26%). In our most recent survey, 35% of respondents said they'll add file system targets to their backup environments, while 24% will opt for VTLs. That figure represents a modest resurgence for that technology.
But the big story is still deduplication. Twenty-one percent of respondents are using dedupe (the highest number we've recorded), and 26% have added it or plan to this year. That, too, is new high for our survey. As far as budgetary considerations go, dedupe is a priority, with 38% planning to increase their dedupe spending (up 8 points from last spring) and only 6% anticipating reduced spending.
Continuous data protection (CDP), another space and time saver, is used by 12% of respondents, just 1 point shy of the highest mark recorded for CDP last spring. Sixteen percent plan to implement CDP this year, also just 1 point lower from the previous high.
The volume around "cloud backup" has been turned up considerably in the past year. While it's still more hype than happening among our respondents, the economy has tweaked interest and purchases. Last spring, we saw a big jump in those looking to trim backup costs by using outsourced or online services for backup when 21% reported using some kind of backup service. In the most recent survey, those numbers have trailed off a bit, with 19% using cloud backup. But use of some specialized backup services -- for desktop/laptop files and databases -- has actually increased slightly.
Belts still tightened
For most data storage managers, battling a storage budget that never seems to stretch far enough isn't new, but that annual grind may have helped them weather the most recent economic storms. Storage vendors have also made their contributions with efficiency-oriented products and technologies that seemed to come onto the scene at just the right time. One thing seems certain: Confronted by capacity demands and the need to protect more and more data -- with fewer funds to do it all -- storage managers have proven their resourcefulness once again.

Love & Bullets is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by Donald Love from Donald Love's apartment in the Torrington district of Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Toni drops by Donald Love's apartment to protect Donald whilst he is generating publicity to help with his mayoral election. The pair end up driving down an alleyway in Newport, which is a Forelli ambush. The Forelli Family gang members open fire on the limousine with M4s. Toni gets a sniper rifle out of the trunk of the car and kills all of the Forelli hitmen. Toni and Donald start to drive back toward Donald's apartment, when another hitman begins to follow the pair in a Bobcat. Toni, however, manages to get Donald back to his apartment, with the pair realizing other tactics will be needed to win the election.
Donald Love: How I hate publicity, but it's all part of the game, right?
Toni Cipriani: 'Fraid so.
Donald Love: The Forellis are going to take me out, aren't they?
Toni Cipriani: Don't worry, I'm going to be riding shotgun.
(Donald and Toni exit the apartment building)
Donald Love: Oh well, here goes everything.
(Donald and Toni end up in an alleyway, whilst Forelli Family gang members open fire)
Donald Love: Shit! This is ridiculous!
Toni Cipriani: Don't panic, I'll deal with these assholes!
Donald Love: There's a rifle in the trunk!
Toni Cipriani: Lock the doors, this wont take long!
(Toni and Donald start to drive away)
Donald Love: There's another hitman after us!
(Toni and Donald arrive back at Donald's apartment building)
Donald Love: I can't fight an election as a virtual recluse.
Toni Cipriani: We'll have to think about using different tactics.

I am so out of the loop when it comes to anything having to do with reproduction these days. I'm not in the loop . . . I'm not in the outskirts or the suburbs. I'm off the grid. However, a new comment on my ever "popular" miscarriage and hormones post made me feel compelled to post an update.
Random thoughts about life, birth, and the like . . .
- My 1/2 acre yard and gardens are in disastrous condition, but I did plant some annuals today; that made me happy!
- My husband is getting ready to add a second floor to our house – his company is called Aria Construction, and they do fantastic high-end work
- My youngest is now almost 11 months – I still want to smash her into 0-3 mo. clothes…
- The twins will be 3 in August, and they are such a joy and such a torment. I still can't believe they are mine!!
- My oldest, age 7, had a stupidly horrible time in 1st grade. Here's hoping for rest and recovery this summer and a better experience in 2nd grade.
- No, I've still not written my birth story from July 12, 2011 . . . what's the hang-up? Well, I still have issues with G's birth and with a local care provider. That's part of it, I'm sure.
Am I recovered from my birth losses?
Yes and no . . . those losses, in a way, made these last three children possible. However, I still feel an emptiness that will never go away.
Am I recovered from my birthing losses?
Mostly no. Physical activity causes the adhesions to hurt. The unevenness in my lower abdomen (fat layer – scar – fat layer) is something I see and feel every day. Although my VBA2C was a "success," I feel quite bitter about the last weeks (from 31 weeks to nearly 42 weeks) of my pregnancy. From 39 weeks onward, every day was a struggle, emotionally. The birth was stressful. I didn't feel a darned thing and had to be told when and how to push. I didn't birth my child, but at least I didn't have to endure her being cut out of my body.
Birth advocacy . . .
I still feel quite out of sorts about childbirth in Missoula and elsewhere. Any time I see that someone had a cesarean – primary or repeat – I want to know why. I wish Missoulians seemed to care more about how they birth their babies. I feel like people either go the homebirth route and mostly enjoy a rewarding birth experience or people sign up for the slaughter. I know there are good docs and good nurses out there, but I definitely lack trust. And people don't know their rights or don't care that they have rights or don't know how to exercise their rights when it comes to their own health care. Everyone else seems to just mind their own business. <shrug> I'm planning a few VBAC Resources and Support sessions this year – wish me luck!
Well, that's where I am today. I see that Rixa is blogging about important stuff, of course. See her latest regarding the Human Rights in Childbirth panel.

Another Inappropriate Response to Earth Day
The site, from Baptist Center for Ethics and EthicsDaily.com, is a warehouse of information on the biblical mandate to care for the environment--and what people of faith can and should do.More:
"The Bible is God's green book," Parham said. "The green Bible gives us the responsibility to guard the garden. The green Bible calls us to love our neighbors. And my friends the only way we can love our neighbors across time is to leave them a decent place to live."Did you catch that last sentence? "[T]he only way can love our neighbors across time is to leave them a decent place to live." I beg to differ. The way we love our neighbors across time is not by refocusing all of the Gospel on a social directive aimed at combating the supposed effects of "global warming." It is by making sure that we hand off the Gospel to each generation - by being dilligent to preach the same Gospel that the apostles, the Early Church Fathers, and men like Wycliffe, Hus, Knox, Luther, Calvin, Owen, Fuller, Spurgeon, and Graham preached. For in that way, we truly love our neighbor. Seriously? What does it profit a generation to save the planet, yet not preserve the very thing that could save men's souls? Our goal is ultimately not to save a dying planet, but to glorify God through preaching the glorious Gospel that Christ came in human flesh, died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and was raised on the third day. That, my friends, is how we love our neighbors across time.

What are the advantages of using a real estate agent versus going the for-sale-by-owner route when it comes to selling a home?
Dear Seth,
I've had a real estate license for 30 years. If I were to put my personal residence on the market today, I'd use an active real estate agent who really knows his or her stuff in the marketplace. I'd gladly pay them their commission, too.
Now, why would I do that if I could just sell it myself and save the commission cost? For starters, if I do a for-sale-by-owner, or FSBO, I'm only getting my place in front of buyers I can attract from seeing a newspaper ad, Craigslist, and anyone who happens to drive by the house. If you go with a high-octane real estate agent, you'll have the advantage of being exposed to their entire pool of buyers. More importantly, you'll be in the MLS, or Multiple Listing Service, database. There, you'll immediately have thousands of potential buyers. So, who do you think will have the best chance of selling your house? Market exposure is everything in the real estate game!
And think about this: Even if you went the FSBO route every time you moved, you might do three or four of these transactions in a lifetime. A good agent closed three or four deals last week! They'll know all the ins and outs of buying and selling a home, and they'll walk you through every step of the process. Research has shown that between basic mistakes, pricing errors, and lack of negotiation skills, you'll cost yourself more than the agent's commission by trying to sell it yourself.
Trust me, you'll get a much better deal - with a lot less hassle - by using a top-flight real estate agent!

Lester tells the Boston Globe (though not Bob Hohler, who wrote this) that starting pitchers on their off-days were the only ones drinking during Red Sox games. "There's a perception out there that we were up there getting hammered and that wasn't the case... Most of the times it was one beer, a beer. It was like having a Coke in terms of how it affected you mentally or physically."
What? Red Sox doing coke in the clubhouse? Round up the rest of the Globe staff!

The $229 LED-based AOC e2237Fwh performs decently and has a striking and unique aesthetic style. The monitor has built-in speakers, a robust On Screen Display, and, unlike the similarly designed Asus MS238H, the AOC includes both HDMI and DVI support. However, the panel is never at a full 90 degrees, giving the display a constant non-optimal viewing angle, which adversely affects performance. If a low-priced, decent-performing monitor with some aesthetic panache is what you're looking for, the AOC e2237wh will fit that requirement quite well.
Design and Features
The 22-inch AOC e2237Fwh has a black bezel that contrasts nicely with its white back. At the center bottom of the bezel is a blue, glowing power button that also doubles as the On Screen Display (OSD) array menu button. Below the bezel is a blue LED "desk light" that stretches horizontally across the middle of the monitor, illuminating the desktop space below it. The entire chassis is enclosed in a transparent plastic casing. The casing extends downward, past the bottom of the bezel until it reaches the desktop.
Its unique footstand keeps the e2237Fwh constantly tilted back 5 or 15 degrees, so it is never at a perfect 90 degree angle. The stand keeps the monitor stabilized when knocked from the sides; however, when it encounters a strong enough force from the front, it will topple over quite easily. The bezel is 1.2 inches wide on the sides and the panel is a short 0.7 inch deep at its shallowest and about 1.75 inches at its deepest depth. The monitor does not have height, pivot, or swivel adjustment options.
Connection options include VGA, HDMI, and DVI. These ports are located on the back of the display, on the lower right side. Unfortunately, they are embedded about an inch into the chassis and so are not as easily accessible as they are on the . To the right of the VGA input is an audio jack for the built-in speakers.
As previously mentioned, the power button doubles as the OSD menu button. Surrounding it are four touch areas, each denoted by a small blue LED dot. Each dot is a shortcut to different OSD functions, including Presets, Speaker volume, Source, and an aspect ratio switch. Pressing the power button brings up the OSD menu, which can be navigated with the four touch area dots acting as directional keys.
The OSD includes controls for contrast, brightness, gamma, and an Eco Mode that lowers the brightness automatically. The display includes seven main presets, as well as color temperature presets options such as Cool, Normal, Warm, SRGB, and User Mode. The Display also includes an ambient light sensor.
Games: Because of our intimate familiarity with World of Warcraft, it remains the best tool for judging color quality and vibrancy in games. We found that the Game mode preset (represented by the Xbox-like control pad icon) displayed colors that were mostly accurate, but didn't pop nearly as well as on the PX2370. The PX2370 is able to walk that fine line of having eye-popping colors without over saturating the image.
Photos: We looked at some photos in the Photo preset and noticed a green tint in faces and environments. We found that the sRGB color preset, coupled with the default/standard overall preset, provided the best photo picture quality in terms of color accuracy. Still, the PX2370 looked better overall, with even more accurate colors and clarity.
Viewing angle: The optimal viewing angle for a monitor is usually directly in front, about a quarter of the screen's distance down from the top. At this angle, you're viewing the colors as they were intended by the manufacturer. Most monitors are not made to be viewed at any other angle. Depending on its panel type, picture quality at non-optimal angles varies. Most monitors use TN panels, which get overly bright or overly dark in parts of the screen when viewed from non-optimal angles. The AOC e2237wh uses a TN panel, and when it's viewed from the sides, we perceived the screen darken about 6 inches off from center (a typical viewing angle limit for a TN-based monitor). Using default settings, the PX2370 had a typical viewing angle threshold; however, it includes extra features that improve viewing from specific angles.
Recommended settings and use: During general use, playing games, and when watching movies, we found the optimal preset setting for the AOC e2237Fwh was the default/standard preset, with the contrast adjusted to 43. For photo editing and games, sRGB worked best.
As with most TN-based monitors, the AOC e2237Fwh isn't meant to be used if accurate color reproduction is required; however, the monitor is good for watching movies, playing games, and general use. If you do have stringent color needs, we suggest you narrow your search to IPS or PVA-based panels only. The Dell UltraSharp U2711 is a good place to start.

Every container we sell is also backed by our one year warranty.
We Source Your Shipping Container

Shipping Container Conditions
Shipping Container Grades
Used shipping containers come in a wide variety of conditions. The most common are One Trip, Cargo Worthy (CWO), and Wind & Water Tight (WWT). There are also "As Is" Containers, which we do not sell because they are usually damaged, and thus cannot be guaranteed. As well as containers repaired to IICL (Institute of International Container Lessors) standards.
While we don't offer IICL containers as an option, we do sometimes sell IICL condition containers. Our experience has been that containers repaired to IICL standards are in excellent structural condition, but don't look cosmetically different than CWO or WWT containers (and, due to dents often being patched/welded instead of simply pounded out, IICL containers can sometimes look less visually appealing than their wind and water tight or cargo worthy counterparts.
No matter the grade, every container we sell is guaranteed to be structurally sound, and comes with our one year warranty.
Shipping Container Dimensions:
Ocean cargo containers are held to a rigid standard to ensure that there are no issues during shipping. Each intermodal shipping container (sometimes called "conex" containers) must be able to not only stack perfectly on a cargo ship, but also lock into chassis trailers safely and securely stack on rail cars. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) sets the standards for shipping container dimensions (via ISO 668).

What Makes Western Container Sales Different?
We're one of the largest buyers of used shipping containers in North America. By working directly with some of the largest intermodal shipping container companies in the world, we help our customers leverage our buying power and quality standards to buy quality shipping containers at a fair price. We also believe in providing up-front and transparent pricing. We're proud to have helped thousands of customers buy conex containers and rent storage containers throughout North America.
A Brief History of the Shipping Container
Early 20th Century Shipping
Prior to the 1950's, loading a cargo ship was a laborious process where cargo was loaded piece by piece onto a ship. During the Korean War, the US military developed the "Container Express" box system to make transporting supplies simpler. The term "Conex" comes from that system, and Conex is still synonymous with shipping containers to this day. There were also a large variety of different container systems in use prior to the 1950's, but each shipping container was still very different from company to company, and not easily interchangeable.
Malcom McLean is often credited with "inventing" the shipping container, but that's a bit of a stretch. McLean was certainly the first to successfully commercialize container shipping, but definitely was not the first to come up with the idea. For instance the Bureau International des Containers (BIC) was founded in 1933, 23 years before McLean would shuttle a few dozen containers from Newark to Houston on a re-purposed World War II cargo ship in 1956. Matson would soon follow, and began offering containerized freight services two years later.
Standardized Containers
Sealand (Malcom McLean's original container shipping company, now owned by Maersk) had 33' and 35' shipping containers. Matson's shipping containers were 24' long. In the late 1960's the International Organization for Standardization (commonly referred to as ISO) established standards for shipping container dimensions via ISO 668. Due to the standards set forth by the ISO, containers are now measured in TEU's (twenty-foot equivalent units). Today there are over 34,000,000 TEU in circulation (or roughly 20,000,000 shipping containers).
More Information About Shipping Containers:
A sticker or plate to identify such things as High Cube containers, hazardous cargo, or other such labels. High Cube shipping containers will also have yellow decals at the top of the frame on each end, to make the extended height more noticeable. High Cube containers have an outside height of 9'6" (one foot taller than standard shipping containers, which are 8'6" tall).
The Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) Plate includes information on the date and location of manufacture, as well as other specifications. Learn more about the Convention for Safe Containers on the International Maritime Organization's website. And make sure to purchases CSC survey if you need to use your shipping container for export.
Locking rods are bolted to the exterior of the shipping container cargo doors and frame, that seal the door tightly when twisted closed and clasped. A broken or bent locking rod can mean that a door won't seal properly. We guarantee doors will seal on every shipping container we sell, but it's always a good idea to grease the hinges and make sure the door frame is square.
Each shipping container has a unique identification number. The first three letters represent the container owner (registered with the Bureau International des Containers "BIC"), and those are followed by a "U" for dry containers, and then six more numerical digits for the unit number. The 7th number is a "check digit" used by calculating the value of each letter and number in the ID. Check your check digit with BIC.
To ensure safe handling, and stacking on ships, containers should not be loaded heavier than the weight specifications listed on the door and CSC plate. Please note, however, that local shipping weight regulations may be much lower than the maximum payload of the container. For instance, many shipping containers can handle over 65,000 lbs of cargo, but loading them that heavy would exceed FMCSA regulations.
Each of the shipping container cargo doors is fully surrounded by a rubber gasket. The gasket allows the steel doors to be shut tightly to prevent both weather getting into the the container. It also helps keep cargo from spilling out if the freight shifts or pallets fail during transport. Good gaskets are essential to a cargo container being wind/water tight. Cargo door gaskets are covered by our 1-year warranty.
How Do Used Shipping Containers Compare to PODS?
Compare Western Container Sales to PODS
The largest nationwide portable storage company is PODS (Portable On Demand Storage). While both PODS and Western Container Sales offer nationwide portable storage rentals, there are some key differences... Primarily that PODS' containers are smaller, lighter units that are made from fiberglass, aluminum and plastic, and designed to be moved while loaded. In contrast, Western Container Sales rentals are re-purposed used shipping containers (all steel construction, with wood floors over steel cross members). Overall, steel shipping containers are a heavy duty alternative to PODS storage containers.
PODS Will Move Loaded Containers, We Won't...
While Western Container Sales offers steel storage containers in sizes up to 40' in length, PODS offers smaller, 8', 12' and 16' storage units with aluminum and plastic exteriors. Steel shipping containers are difficult to load/unload without the heavy equipment found at ports and depots, but PODS units are small enough to be easily managed with light duty lifts.
Western Container Sales does not move loaded units, so if you need your container moved after it's loaded PODS or similar companies might be a better option. However, if you need storage at your location we offer larger, all steel containers. Our cost per square foot is almost always lower, as well.
Why Don't We Make You Call for a Shipping Container Quote?
We know what a hassle it can be to call for a shipping container quote. Or how annoying it can be to fill out a form on what appears to be a conex container rental site and consequently be bombarded with salespeople from third party companies because your information was sold as a lead. Unlike the big guys, our shipping container prices are posted online. Why do we do this when other companies won't? Simple, we know our prices are fair, and well below what you'd see with our large corporate competitors.
Western Container Sales will get you a fair price for a used shipping container sourced directly from global intermodal equipment providers, pulled from their inventories at your nearest intermodal depot. Because the containers were recently moving cargo, we know they won't leak and we guarantee it. Check out our current shipping container prices (please note they do change with inventory levels). We also make renting steel storage containers just as easy, with our online rental order form.
Shipping Containers Direct From the Source, Through a Company You Can Trust
Since 2015, we've been proud members of the Intermodal Association of North America (IANA), the National Portable Storage Association (NPSA), and the Green Business Bureau (where we're a certified Platinum green business). We leverage our relationships within the Intermodal Shipping Container industry to help our customers buy quality used shipping containers, that we guarantee won't leak.
We've helped thousands and thousands of customers buy shipping containers and rent steel storage containers, and our customer satisfaction rate is over 98%. We're also accredited by the Better Business Bureau, and are proud to have an A+ rating. Whether you need to rent a conex container for a jobsite, or purchase a used shipping container for extra storage, we're always happy to help.

Skyhawks score 20 total runs on 24 combined hits in doubleheader split
|Junior shortstop Michael Zeiner went
4-for-5 in game two with three runs
batted in to pace the Skyhawks offense.
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (March 25, 2012) – Stonehill College, ranked sixth overall in the most recent National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) East Regional Poll, salvaged a split with Adelphi University in a Northeast-10 Conference (NE-10) inter-divisional doubleheader action on Sunday afternoon. The Skyhawks fell 9-8 in game one but rebounded in game two with a 12-1 win.
Adelphi 9, Stonehill 8
The Panthers rallied in the bottom of the ninth inning to take game one scoring four runs on three hits while being aided by two fielding errors.
Senior right-hander Chris Murphy (New Hyde Park, N.Y./Chaminade) notched the win on one inning pitched, one hit, one run (earned), one walk and two strikeouts. Sophomore starter Stephen Bove (Brooklyn, N.Y./Bishop Ford) lasted just one inning, yielding four hits, five runs (four earned), one walk and one punchout.
Michael Von Stein (Trumbull, Conn./Trumbull) took the loss recording just one out, giving up two hits, two runs (both unearned) to go along with one strikeout. Senior left-handed starter Michael White (Lisbon, N.H./Lisbon Regional) completed four innings, struck out three batters, walked four and gave up five runs (two earned) on five hits. Freshman Armand Rugel (Middletown, R.I./Middletown) threw four-and-one-thirds innings, allowing three hits, two runs (all unearned) and three strikeouts.
Stonehill jumped out to an early 7-2 lead with five runs in the first and two more in the second. Senior first baseman Steven Popp (Unionville, Conn./Farmington), classmate Michael Magnussen (Carver, Mass./Coyle & Cassidy) and sophomore Colin Shepard (Boxford, Mass./Masconomet) all collected RBI's in the five-run first inning as the Skyhawks compiled four hits to highlight the frame.
Adelphi cut into the gap at 7-5 in the bottom of the fourth inning on a bases clearing double from junior first baseman Anthony Zarella (Holbrook, N.Y./St. John The Baptist).
Magnussen added a run for Stonehill in the ninth plating sophomore right fielder Billy Karalis (Pawtucket, R.I./Bishop Feehan) with a single through the right side of the infield. Karalis walked and stole second base, all with two outs, to set up the scoring.
In the bottom half of the, senior left fielder Jamie Liebowitz (Queens, N.Y./Cardoza) made it 8-6 with a RBI single through the right side before sophomore Richard Mejia (Jackson, N.J./ Perkiomen School) evened up the contest with a two-run double. The Panthers went on to score the game-winning run on a fielding error.
Stonehill compiled ten hits total in the loss receiving multi-hit games from junior centerfielder James DeAlto (Briarcliff Manor, N.Y./Briarcliff), shortstop Michael Zeiner (Simsbury, Conn./Simsbury), White, sophomore second baseman Dan Fratus (Plymouth, Mass./Plymouth North) and Magnussen.
|Senior Michael White scored three runs and drove in two runs combined between both games.
Stonehill 12, Adelphi 1
Stonehill scored 12 runs on 14 hits in game two to earn a split with Adelphi University as Zeiner paced the offense with a 4-for-5 showing at the plate to go along with two runs scored and three runs batted in. DeAlto, Fratus and Karalis also knocked in two runs apiece for the Skyhawks.
Senior left-handed pitcher Eric Haughn (Pembroke, Mass./Pembroke) stymied the Panthers offense allowing just three hits and one run (unearned) over eight innings of work. Haughn fanned a game-high eight batters and issued three walks. Classmate Brendan Wright (Easton, Mass./Cardinal Spellman) pitched a clean ninth inning to secure the game two victory.
Junior Jeff Andersen (Valley Stream, N.Y./Nassau Community College) suffered the loss on four-and-two-thirds innings pitched, four hits, three runs (all earned) three walks and six strikeouts.
Scoreless through the first three full innings of play, Stonehill went on to score at least one run in every inning but the sixth. The Skyhawks plated two runs in the fourth, one run in the fifth and nine runs over the final three innings of the game.
In the fourth, White and Zeiner perfectly executed a double steal as White swiped second base and Zeiner stole home on the backend for a 1-0 lead. Fratus followed and ripped a single up the middle driving in White from second base to take a 2-0 advantage.
Zeiner pushed the gap to 3-0 in the fifth with a RBI single down the right field line bringing home freshman catcher Matt Anziano (Belchertown, Mass./Belchertown) who singled and advanced to second on a sac bunt earlier in the frame.
The Skyhawks four-run seventh inning was highlighted by a run-producing single from Zeiner and a two-run single through the right side by Karalis.
Adelphi broke up the shutout bid in the seventh inning as Liebowitz scored on a throwing error.
DeAlto went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI's, Fratus was 2-for-5 with one run scored and two runs driven in and Karalis had a 3-for-4 performance at the plate with one run scored and two runs batted in.
Stonehill (14-8, 2-2 NE-10, 0-0 Northeast Division) returns to action on the road against UMass Lowell on Wednesday, March 28 at 3:30 p.m. Adelphi (9-8, 1-3 NE-10, 0-0 Southwest Division) hosts Southern Connecticut State University on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.
