Former UC Irvine All-American Dan McDonnell had a match-high three aces to help the United States men's volleyball team earn a 25-14, 25-10, 25-20 victory over Trinidad and Tobego in the second round of pool play late Tuesday at the Pan American Cup in Mexico City.
McDonnell's serving helped the Americans post a 10-2 advantage in aces. McDonnell, a member of the Anteaterrs' 2012 NCAA championship team, started at middle blocker for Team USA.
Other starters included Michael Brinkley, who will be a junior libero at UCI in the fall, and setter Ryan Ammerman, a member of the 2009 NCAA champion Anteaters.
Brinkley earned praise from Team USA Coach Shawn Patchell, once a UCI assistant, who credited him with skilled passing.
McDonnell had two kills, while Ammerman was credited with six running assists in 31 attempts.
Team USA will attempt to remain unbeaten in the tournament when it concludes pool play late Wednesday against host Mexico.

Microsoft readies Virtual Machine Manager 2007
Availability, licensing and promises revealed
Microsoft's virtualization team has finally stirred as the market gears up for VMworld next week. A bundle of announcements today include a virtulization management software released to manufacturing, solidified pricing and licensing, and promises for future versions.
Let's dive in:
Virtual Machine Manager 2007
After two years of development, System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2007 (SCVMM) has popped out of the oven. The software can be downloaded now from the Microsoft system center site and will be generally available in October.
SCVMM is a standalone server app for managing a virtual environment running Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2. The software allows customers to assess and consolidate workloads on virtual machines — which frees up physical resources and all that good stuff virtual managers do. The appeal is the tight integration with System Center and other Microsoft products one might be using in the data center.
In bullet points, the release adds up thusly:
- Centralized virtual machine deployment and management.
- End-to-end support for consolidating physical servers into a virtual environment
- Physical-to-virtual conversion and virtual-to-virtual conversion of VMware virtual machines to Microsoft VHD format
- Intelligent placement of workloads on the best-suited physical host servers
The System Center family has received a new licensing system, which should be more flexible for a virtual environment.
System Center Server Management Suite Enterprise, which includes SCVMM 2007, is priced at $860 plus two years of service, and will allow an unlimited amount of operating systems (physical and virtual) per physical device. The package will be available starting October 1.
For mid-market customers, Microsoft has announced SCVMM 2007 Workgroup edition, which will be available in January 2008. This flavor allows for up to five physical host servers and an unlimited number of virtual machines. The software will be priced at $499.
Next SCVMM to support VMWare and Xen formats
Microsoft has also announced some plans for the next version of SCVMM, which will be released in Windows Server 2008. The software promises to support Windows Server virtualization, as well as a few third-party formats, including VMware, Viridian and Xen.
Chris Stirrat, head of the SCVMM team contemplates this news on their blog in the stoic fashion you'd expect from...
"We listened to you!!! And when I say we will manage these environments I mean really manage them – covering all the key scenarios they offer.
The company plans to give an update on this scheme when the software enters beta 1, which is scheduled for Q1 2008. ®

This blog has often referred to Ray Nagin as Mayor Curly, because he's always been more of a clown and stooge than a leader.
Now he's got a book that continues to prove that point.
However, the Times-Picayune is helping itself or the cause of justice and reform by piling on at this point. For days and weeks, it's been publishing articles whose purpose is clearly to ridicule the guy.
There's no need to do that at this point. He does it all by himself. The clumsy, ham-fisted way that Ashton Phelps's mouthpiece is doing this only encourages Nagin and his friends in their belief that Nagin is not the problem; it's the White Power Establishment that is.
Cheesh, Times-Pic: just let the guy screw up on his own. Report the facts. Nothing else needed.

Formula E drives electric mobility innovation
To be honest, I have never really been a fan of motorsport racing, but Formula E is something different. Regular sports car racing has always felt too loud, too polluting and a bit pointless, but electric car racing is changing my perception rapidly. The most recent Formula E race and associated FIA Smart Cities event in Santiago, Chile last week highlighted the importance of sustainable mobility and the advantages of advancing electric technology as quickly as possible. Extremely fast electric cars, whooshing by cheering audiences with a distinctly electric whizzing sound, made me realize that the future is definitely now.

Dinner Tonight: Yotam Ottolenghi's Skillet-Baked Eggs with Spinach, Yogurt, and Spiced Butter
Buying tips, techniques, and recipes, no matter how you like them.
I'm on a bit of a Yotam Ottolenghi kick lately, finding myself rather in love with his imaginative takes on vegetarian cooking. While I've written already about a few recipes from his recent book Plenty, this one comes from a recent issue of Bon Appetit. I took one look at the gorgeous picture—a skilletful of soft spinach topped with eggs and thick yogurt, drizzled with butter—and put this recipe on the top of my list.
And luckily, it tasted as good as it looked. My experience with baked egg dishes is pretty limited, but I'm usually pleasantly surprised by how easy they turn out (this would also be a tremendous brunch dish that could be mostly made in advance). In this case, a base of leeks and scallions are the caramelized base for spinach, which is wonderful on its own. But add the eggs and garlic-infused yogurt and it only gets better. Even still, the real story here is the spiced butter, which is cooked separately until the butter is nutty and brown, then boosted with chile flavor and fragrant oregano.

Hank Krieger's name is synonymous with CMS Tennis. Coach Krieger was inducted into the CMS Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004, recognizing a twenty-two season coaching tenure as Head Coach of the Stags. During that time his overall winning percentage was .647 and his SCIAC winning percentage was .865. Twice named the NCAA Division III Coach of the Year (in 1985 and 1993), Krieger was at the helm for the Stags' first national championship (in 1981) and has coached 24 All-Americans.
After retiring from teaching mathematics at Harvey Mudd College in May, 2005, Krieger is still actively working on several academic projects, as well as serving on a handful of community based committees and boards. His contributions as team consultant, historian, and volunteer asistant coach continues to be invaluable.
Hank and his wife Rita live in Claremont. They have two grown children and four grandchildren.

Sen. Olympia Snowe complains in the New York Times about the loss of Arlen Specter from the Republican ranks. She blames this development on the Republican party.
Snowe says that "being a Republican moderate sometimes feels like being a cast member of 'Survivor' — you are presented with multiple challenges, and you often get the distinct feeling that you're no longer welcome in the tribe." She adds that, in a better world, Republicans would "emphasize the things that unite us and make these the only 'litmus test' of what constitutes a Republican: our belief in restraining government spending, pro-growth policies, tax reduction, sound national defense, and maximum individual liberty."
As I observed last night, though, Specter, having voted for the massive stimulus bill, did not pass this libmus test, and he admits that it was this vote that would have precluded him from winning the Republican primary. (Snowe failed the same test, as Veronique de Rugy notes.)
Snowe should also reflect on what happened to her colleague Joe Lieberman. Unlike Specter and Snowe, Lieberman is no moderate; he is a down-the-line liberal except on one set of issues. Yet in 2006, his party must have made him feel like a cast member of "Survivor," as he was confronted with "multiple challenges" that surely gave him "the distinct feeling that he was no longer welcome in the tribe."
There is an important difference between the Democratic challenge to Lieberman in 2006 and the Republican challenges to Specter in 2004 and 2010 (note that Snowe's moderate colleague Susan Collins was renominated with no primary opposition in 2008). Lieberman was challenged in a state where his defeat would not have meant a Republican taking his seat. By contrast, Pennsylvania could easily elect a Democrat.
So the Dems may be shrewder than the Republicans, but not necessarily less "tribal" at heart.

A color library of over 200 colors that incorporate a proprietary blend of mica and other minerals that transmit refractive light and color, similar to light rays in a crystal. Other pearl watercolors use less expensive grade pigment and mica, their colors produce a dull outcome when mixed and blended because their paint absorbs light. The sparkle and shimmer of Twinkling H2O's add depth and dimension, even when used in washes. Realistic images (birds, fish, water, flowers) come alive. The paints are appropriate for all styles.

I brought a Coconut Palm in August 2010 but it died, however, I actually got my money back (credit note) from Home Depot and replaced it!!
The Coconut Palm did OK actually and was flourishing in September and looked healthy in December/January but when I got here in April 2011 it was fully dead. The stem was dried through and it just fell away from the base, I didnt even have to pull. I should have taken a picture of the husk as it was interesting, the root just came straight out the bottom and it was quite a size.
Still struggling.
Considering how tall they are supposed to get im not too impressed with the effort from this palm.
Not much to report over the winter, a little more jaded, little else. At least there was no surprise frost.
The new Coconut Palm is doing OK, but I lost the last one to the winter I think so im praying that this winter is mild enough for it. I think its position is a little less exposed as well.
The new one hasnt even been planted yet. I had to get one, theres just something really exciting about having a coconut palm in my garden.
Hopefully the new coconut palm will survive. The two top photos are the new coconut pal and the bottom three are the old one in August, September and December/January 2010/1.

URBANA, Il. – U.S. Rep. Timothy V. Johnson announced his retirement today at a news conference in the Urbana City Council Chambers of the Urbana City Building, where he began his career in public service more than 40 years ago.
His statement follows:
"I am here to announce my retirement from the United States Congress effective at the end of my current term. I will file papers asking the 14 County Chairs to fill my position on the November ballot.
"Serving in Congress while fulfilling other obligations has always been a challenge, as it is for every Member of Congress. The past year I have taken on new challenges. In January of last year, I took on additional legislative responsibilities when I became chairman of the House Agricultural Subcommittee on Rural Development, Biotechnology, Research and Foreign Agriculture. In June of last year, a new and grossly gerrymandered Congressional map was drawn that created a district where two thirds of the voters had never been represented by me. These two new obligations strained my schedule beyond what I had ever dealt with in my years of public service. However, when I filed for reelection, I was fully confident I could meet those obligations, as well as my obligations to family.
"My family obligations, however, are what compels this announcement. Exclusively. I'm almost 66 years old. My time is limited. I have been serving in office for 44 consecutive years. I'm also the father of 9 children, have 11 grandchildren and now two great-grandchildren. I have been a part-time father in all those years. That's not good enough.
"One of my grandsons is two years old; I have seen him for a total of about 10 minutes. I have another grandson who asked me not long ago if I was ever going to come to one of his ballgames. I didn't have an answer.
"Aside from the missed birthdays, births and weddings, there are some specific, critical family issues that require my ongoing attention. Taken together, I cannot adequately serve the 15th District, campaign in the new 13th District, be in Washington D.C. and fulfill my obligations to my family. It would be a disservice to all to attempt that. I am confident that in making this decision and preparing to return to private life, I am doing the right thing for the people most important to me, my family.
"My intention is to return in some way to the practice of law. I will continue to be involved politically where appropriate, and continue to speak out as I see fit on the issues of the day. I also hope to be involved in teaching as well. I will not be a paid lobbyist at any time in the future.
"I am confident that the Republican Party will find the right person to fill this seat. There are many people in the 13th district who would make extraordinary Congressmen or Congresswomen. The results of the primary demonstrate that people want a Republican of integrity and independence in this office. The County Chairmen and Chairwomen in the district, I'm sure, will make a choice that will well serve the people of the new 13th district. I've talked to two potential candidates inside my congressional office about my decision, Mark Shelden and Phil Bloomer. They have allowed me to tell you that they will not be candidates for the office.
Additionally, no member of my family will be a candidate.
"Serving in public office has been a great honor as well as a tremendous responsibility. I will always treasure the thousands of friends and colleagues I have found along this journey. Most importantly, I hope that I have kept the trust of the hundreds of thousands of people I have represented over the years.
"I want to thank the many people who have supported me over the years with their votes and their volunteer time. I also want to thank the news media, which has been fair and balanced in their coverage of my service throughout my career.
"Most importantly, and finally, I want to thank the nearly one million people who have given me the privilege of serving them over the last 44 years as a precinct committeeman, member of the Urbana Human Relations Commission, member of the Urbana City Council, member of the Illinois General Assembly, and finally, U.S. Congressman."

Cloud storage is all the rage at the moment with a seemingly dizzying array of choices and options available. Cloud storage is simply a fancy name for storing your files online. However, there are some fantastic advantages over saving your files locally to just your PC.
Most obvious is that wherever there is a PC and internet connection you can get to your documents. No matter when and where you are in the world you always have access to your files and folders.
SkyDrive from Microsoft is one such cloud-based storage service, it has other added benefits to the standard options. You can use SkyDrive to easily share large files with anyone simply by sending them a link to the file or folder. You can even use SkyDrive to work on Microsoft Office documents simultaneously with others.
What's really great about the SkyDrive service is that it can be mapped as a network drive and made to work just like any other folder in Windows Explorer. Even better, as soon as you copy anything to your SkyDrive folder and it's uploaded, the file becomes available in all your other SkyDrive locations. So, if you copy a file across on your office PC it's available on the family laptop almost instantaneously.
SkyDrive offers you a decent 7GB of space with which to store your documents. There's even a version of Skydrive for smartphones so you really can get access to the disk space no matter what device you might be using.
If you find that the 7GB free option isn't enough space for your needs you can easily upgrade the space. There are charges for the extra capacity, but they are excellent value for money. You can switch to a 20GB, 50GB or 100GB plan for £6, £16 or £32 a year.
