Greater Protection. Complete Security
How would you like to offer your customers a security system that The Alexor provides complete security via a host of devices, including keypads, sirens, detectors ,wireless keys - all of it wirelessly? DSC's 2-Way Wireless Security Suite delivers just that…and so much more.
The Power of Speed with Wireless Installation
The Alexor Wireless Panel is the center component of DSC's 2-Way Wireless Security Suite. Because it operates completely wirelessly, installers have fewer holes to drill and fewer wires to pull. The system - with its full complement of exclusively compatible wireless accessories, detectors and keypads - takes far less time to install than traditional wired or hybrid systems. Less installation time is a benefit to Home Owners and Installers. Wireless installation means less waiting around and minimal compromise to the home structure.
Security Without Compromise
Alexor is a wireless control panel, the virtual "brain" of the security suite. Because it is a distributed system, the panel is not attached to the keypad physically, but rather wirelessly. Designed for flexible, secure installation locations within the home, as long as there is access to AC power, Alexor operates via up to four wire-free keypads (the WT5500). If the system changes its armed state or a wireless device is tampered with, Alexor will immediately be signaled and the appropriate transmission will instantly be transmitted to the monitoring station, if being monitored. And because the signals between Alexor Wireless Panel and its wireless peripherals are fully encrypted,communication between all devices is exceptionally secure. The Alexor offers all the reliability of traditional wired/hybrid control panels but with all the convenience that wireless delivers.

- Supports 32 wireless zones and 16 wireless keys (without using a zone slot)
- 16 user codes, 1 master code and 1 maintenance code

March 12: The Papal Conclave has begun
By Monsignor James P. Moroney, Rector, St. John's Seminary
Tuesday morning in Saint Peter's Basilica, the Cardinal electors gathered to celebrate the Mass, the source and the summit of the entire Christian life, asking God to send the Holy Spirit upon their Conclave that they might elect "a pastor for your Church who will please you by his holiness and to us show watchful care."
Then, accompanied by ancient chants and prayers, the electors entered the Sistine Chapel, took an oath of secrecy and renounced undue outside influence in their deliberations and locked the doors (con clave, with a key) with the words "Extra Omnes" or "Everyone out!"
Then the first round of solemn voting began, as each elector came forward with his folded ballot, held up above the vessel to receive the votes and declared in Latin: I call as my witness Christ the Lord who will be my judge, that my vote is given to the one who before God I think should be elected."
This oath is taken at each vote by each Cardinal elector as the Last Judgment of Michelangelo stands witness to the seriousness of the moment.
A successful election is achieved only with a two-thirds vote of the electors, and so at 7:42 p.m. this afternoon (Rome time) black smoke billowed for the chimney above the Sistine Chapel.
The Cardinal electors then said a prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary which was written only a couple hundred years after the Bible.
They will try again Wednesday, twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon, and perhaps we will discover what sort of pope God has in store for his Church.

Seamonkey is ok from desktop and menu for me.
Love the xine-plugin in Seamonkey, streaming video running smoother on a low spec system than it did with gxine.
I finally got around to trying a frugal install and I'm an instant convert, just grabbbed the files out of the iso instead of burning a cd.

Post subject: Latest Dingo
Downloaded, burnt to cd latest Dingo.
Booted from cd onto freshly formated hd with swap.
Noticed the formatted partition did not seem to contain a lot of data (yellow bar) in Gparted.
When choosing ide/sata internal drive, one of its boxes did NOT appear, the choice of (Full or Frugal install).
On clicking ok to install from cd the drive did nothing.
For the THIRD time unable to install Dingo to Full hd and now not even Frugal.
Isn`t this EVER checked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's infuriating and so elementary - reported it earlier this morning on BK's blog.
# cat /proc/partitions yields:
major 7, minor 0, #blocks 64848, name loop0
which is pure nonsense to me, but presumable not the cognoscenti.
Incredible that a formerly universally acceptable distro like Puppy should have been cast back into the Stone Age by,
inter alia
, the 2.6.23 kernel change in drive nomenclature. None of the other distros seem to have suffered this catastrophe - I've tried most, I know, I'm a distro junkie! Generally, the transition to sd/sr has been smooth and transparent.
Now to try a scsi drive.................................

that means you can only change these options in a directory . . .
not the desktop?)

For the record:
"not yet implemented"
begging the question
"then why bother to relabel it?!"
more importantly
"why use such a pejorative term as 'ancient'?"
especially as I went to the trouble of explaining that it is just so misguided.
Perhaps if scsi had never been omitted this hiatus would never have occurred? Evidence from other distros suggests so. scsi

Subject description: Problem with RT73 driver and wpa_supplicant
I have been using a script posted by Tempestuous in the forum to connect to my home wifi network using WPA2 protocol. The script uses wpa_supplicant to allow my Linksys WUSB54GC to connect using the RT73 driver. It was great to see the Dingo Alpha 4 (full) containing the driver. However, the script and network wizard did not make a connection. With the script, I got the error statement of wpa_supplicant not supporting RALINK. I checked the version of wpa_supplicant and found it to be 0.6.0. I took the wpa_supplicant from puppy v3.01 and place a copy in /root/my-applications/bin and change the script to use the older wpa_supplicant (v0.5.8). The script worked and the connection was made to WPA2 . The wpa_supplicant (v0.6.0) may need to be re-done with RALINK support turned on. Other than this problem, Dingo Alpha 4 works fine.
All, please remember this is an alpha release and there will be problems. This release is for testing and we are helping to find and solve the problems.

MU: some were, some were beta - I try to look at allcomers. But the point is that some of us have been reporting glitches over many releases, often concerning bog standard clone kit which is neither old nor bleeding edge. Dingo has been a nightmare from the start - one step forward, an hundred back! It is understandable if there are issues with new HW, but not with stuff that has worked since v0.1. Most folks just go elsewhere rather than raising serious issues for fear of offending other folk. All the Aussies I know are pretty plain speaking guys.....

Using Dingo on the eeepc I noticed a few issues. The eeepc has no CD drive and Puppy 301 boots from a USB CD drive just fine on the eee. Dingo however will not locate the pup_394.sfs file from the USB CD drive. I then booted Dingo on another computer and tried to installed it to a USB flash drive but the universal installer crashes. It usually crashes when it goes to copy the files from CD or directory. Finally I used Puppy 214r to copy the Dingo files to the eeepc internal drive hdc1 and used Grub to boot it. This worked fine but there is an issue when saving the pup_save file to USB or the internal SD card reader. The file will save but it will not be found at the next boot. The last issue is that there are no drivers for the wireless or LAN cards. The automatic detection of the screen resolution works well though.

Subject description: Same problem on my Eee PC
I encounter the same problem, file pup_394.sfs not found, on my Eee PC.
I have not modified the solid state disk yet for puppy. I have been booting from either a USB device or SD card. Both Puppy 3.01 and 2.14R 1.01 work fine. I tried the SD card with Dingo alpha4 on another machine with a built-in card reader and it work normally. Do not know what is the cause. Also, I put the card in a USB reader/writer device and attached it to the Eee PC. The same results occurred, file pup_394.sfs not found.

- On leaving NY, "It was hard, that was all I knew was New York and I grew up in that organization and it was first time that I had ever been traded so to leave a city that I liked so much and that I knew, it was difficult but how Tampa brought me in and made me feel comfortable it made it a lot easier
- What was it like seeing the Rangers go on that run, "it was exciting and I was talking to them throughout the run and the trip they had to the Cup. I grew up with a lot of those guys and to see them have that much success it was a lot of fun."
Jack Hughes and Kaapo Kakko went head-to-head on Thursday night for the first time since the duo was selected first and second, respectively, in this year's NHL Draft.
With the Devils already up 2-1 in the second period, Hughes recorded his first NHL point. with under eight minutes to play in the period, Matt Tennyson wristed a shot from the point. The shot deflected off of Hughes' stick, then bounced off Miles Wood's backside and into net past Rangers goalie Alexandar Georgiev.
Wood was credited with the goal, but Hughes picked up his first career NHL point on the play.

Held off the scoresheet for the first two games of his NHL career, Rangers rookie Kaapo Kakko broke a scoreless tie with the Oilers for his first NHL goal on Saturday.
The second-overall pick out of Finland took a pass in the slot from Ryan Strome, got the puck to his backhand and slipped it past Mike Smith to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead.
Kaapo Kakko's first NHL goal was an absolute BEAUT

On Monday night, the Rangers traded forward Vlad Namestnikov to the Senators in exchange for defenseman prospect Nick Ebert and a fourth-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft.
On Tuesday, head coach David Quinn and general manager Jeff Gorton reacted to the trade.
"We feel like we've got guys who are going to be able to assume a little bit more responsibility throughout our organization," said Quinn.

Four points in your first two games of the season? Doesn't get much better than that, and that's exactly what Rangers forward Mika Zibanejad did to start the 2019-20 NHL season.
Zibanejad started his year with eight total points, an even split with four goals and four assists.
For his efforts, Zibanejad was named the First Star of the league's opening week to the season on Monday.

The Rangers have traded forward Vladislav Namestnikov to the Senators Monday night, in exchange for AHL defenseman Nick Ebert and a fourth-round pick in the 2021 draft, as it was announced by his agent, Dan Milstein, on Twitter.
Vladislav Namestnikov been traded to Ottawa. Excited for new opportunity!!!!!! #WeAreGoldStar- Dan Milstein-Hockey (@HockeyAgent1) October 7, 2019
Namestnikov played in 99 games during his time in New York, scoring 13 goals and 35 points in that time.

The Rangers opened their season with a 6-4 win against the Winnipeg Jets at Madison Square Garden.
Five things to know from Thursday's game
1) Marc Staal lit the lamp with 8:25 left in the first period, the first goal of the season for the 2019-20 Rangers. Staal made a great wrap-around move to beat Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck, breaking a scoreless tie. With 2:37 left in the first period, thought, the Jets tied the game with a Mark Scheifele goal. The Rangers carelessly turned the pick over in their own zone to set up the Winnipeg goal.
2) At the start of the second period, the Rangers struck quickly to retake the lead, as prized free agent addition Artemi Panarin found the back of the net just 27 seconds into the period. Right away, though, the Jets answered back. Thirty seconds after Panarin's goal, Blake Wheeler beat Henrik Lundqvist to tie the game at 2-2.
As the Rangers open their 2019-20 regular season Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets at 7 p.m. from Madison Square Garden in New York, an early look ahead to the Stanley Cup is already on the minds of oddsmakers.
The Rangers' journey back to the postseason begins with the team facing an uphill battle, as far as odds are concerned, with Odds Shark pegging New York at +4000.
The number is the same for the Vancouver Canucks, who share the odds in the bottom half of the list, which is included below.
The Rangers and goalie Henrik Lundqvist are hoping 2019 is different.
His numbers alone he'd like to improve. His save percentage was .907 and his goals against average was 3.07 last season. Both were career-worsts, but also very much a product of what was going on around him with the team's rebuild.
With that in mind, he's not worrying about 2018 at all.

After 13 seasons, including his first 11 with the New York Rangers, two-year Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Dan Girardi retired from the NHL, he announced Friday.
"I would like to thank all my coaches, family, friends and teammates for supporting me throughout my entire hockey career," Girardi said in a statement released Friday by the Lightning. "I want to thank the New York Rangers for giving me a chance to fulfill my childhood dream of playing in the NHL. Throughout those 11 incredible years I have made so many friends on and off the ice. I bled Ranger blue and gave it my all for my team, the city and the Garden faithful. I also want to thank the Tampa Bay Lightning for helping me continue my career by giving me a chance to play for such an amazing organization, city and fan base. The last two years in Tampa Bay have been so much fun for me and my family. I will always fondly remember my time here. Finally, I want to thank my wife Pamela for always being there for me and holding down the fort and to Landon and Shaye for always being daddy's No. 1 fans.
"I gave my all every single night and left it all out on the ice. Now it's time for the next chapter of my life to begin and I couldn't be happier ... and so is my body."

The Rangers made a lot of moves this offseason to bolster not just their NHL roster, but their farm system as well. And because of that, they're being honored as having the best farm system in the entire league, per The Athletic's rankings.
Kaapo Kakko, the No. 2 overall pick by New York back in June, is a main reason why their ranking jumped from No. 11 last season to the top dog now. The Finnish forward was highly touted as an NHL-ready prospect that should make an immediate impact for the Rangers this season. Playing in TPS-Liiga, Finland's top league, he dominated at age 17.
But there's also Vitaly Kravtsov, the Rangers' first-rounder in 2018, that experts rave about as well. The Athletic has him pegged as a "High-end NHL prospect," after his season playing in the KHL.
Mark Pavelich, a former Rangers center and "Miracle on Ice" team member, was arrested and charged with assault last week after an incident with a neighbor at his Minnesota home.
Pavelich allegedly attacked his neighbor with a metal pole, breaking several bones and bruising a kidney among the injuries, after he believed the neighbor "spiked" his beer, according to the criminal complaint obtained by the Associated Press.
The 61-year-old went to Cook County District Court on Monday, where the judge "ordered a mental competency hearing," according to the report. Bail has been set at $250,000.
No New York Ranger has more goals over the past three seasons than Chris Kreider's 72. However, that doesn't mean that the Rangers' longest-tenured forward is safe heading into what would be his eighth season as a Blueshirt.
Given the Rangers' salary cap troubles, it's been speculated that the team may have to part with an expensive piece like Kreider to make room for young talent. The team only has slightly more than $1 million in cap space, and still must re-sign forward Brandon Lemieux and defenseman Tony DeAngelo, who are restricted free agents. Kreider, a free agent in one year, carries a $4.625 million cap hit.
From a financial perspective, it makes sense to trade Kreider. However, members of the Rangers' front office reiterated on Thursday that as of now, the expectation is that Kreider will remain a member of the Rangers for the 2019-20 season.

Yet another former Ranger has packed his bags for the sunny shores of Tampa.
The Tampa Bay Lightning announced Monday that they have signed ex-Rangers defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk to a one-year, $1.75 million contract.
Shattenkirk will slide into a top-four role on the Lightning defense, potentially beside ex-Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh. Ironically, the Lightning signed Shattenkirk to fill a spot formerly held by two ex-Rangers, Anton Stralman and Dan Girardi, who were let go this summer.
Tags: Kevin Shattenkirk
The Rangers, stuck in a tough salary cap situation, bought out the contract on defender Kevin Shattenkirk on Wednesday, according to the New York Post. The news was later confirmed by Shattenkirk's agent.
Shattenkirk, 30, spent the past two seasons with the Rangers after signing a four-year deal with the team worth $26.65 million during the summer of 2017.
Prior to the move, the Rangers were over the NHL's $81.5 million salary cap ceiling. The buyout saves New York over $5 million on the cap and now puts them just under the league's spending limit.

Disappointing seasons from the Rangers and Devils prompted impressive offseason work from both organizations. It certainly helped that both teams had the top two picks in the NHL Draft -- selections that netted potentially franchise-altering talents in Kappo Kakko and Jack Hughes, respectively.
While they didn't have a high draft pick or significant free agent signing, the Islanders made a handful of moves, mainly in the form of re-signings. For the most part, their roster enters 2019-20 relatively unchanged.
Taking all of this into consideration, here's a closer look at the biggest moves each organization made...

The Rangers announced on Friday night that the team has officially agreed to terms with restricted free agent Pavel Buchnevich.
The 24-year-old played in 64 with the Rangers last season, scoring 21 goals and adding 17 assists. His seven power play goals led the team, while his 21 goals ranked third on the squad, trailing only Mika Zibanejad (30) and Chris Kreider (28).
In three seasons with the Rangers, the Russian-born Buchnevich has tallied 43 goals and 101 points overall. Buchnevich has recorded the fourth-most goals and the fifth-most points by a Russian player in Rangers history.
Tags: Pavel Buchnevich
The Rangers just continue to make offseason moves, this time to improve their offensive depth.
New York announced on Wednesday that they have agreed to terms with F Phillip Di Giuseppe.
The 25-year-old played 24 games in the NHL last season between the Predators and Hurricanes. He tallied four points (one goal and three assists), while being a minus-3 overall on the ice. The Toronto native has played in 150 NHL games over his four-year career, totaling 14 goals and 27 assists. However, he's a career minus-15.
The left-handed stick was a second-round pick by the Hurricanes back in 2012.
Kaapo Kakko, No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, is officially a Ranger.
Kakko signed his entry-level deal with the Rangers on Thursday, which the team shared via Twitter.
Rangers fans have already embraced Kakko, flocking to the team's developmental camp to catch a glimpse of him on the ice. And many like Kakko for the Rangers, especially NBC Sports' NHL analyst Pierre McGuire who told SNY "I can see him fitting in right away."
The NHL Players Association announced on Friday that 40 players have filed for salary arbitration and the most prominent name on the list belongs to the New York Rangers.
Of those heading to an arbitrator are Rangers forward Pavel Buchnevich and recently acquired defenseman Jacob Trouba. Both are restricted free agents.
At a later date each player will have arbitration hearings in Toronto. Those have yet to be scheduled, but according to the NHLPA release, league-wide meetings with individual players will take place from July 20 to Aug. 4. The Rangers and players can continue to negotiate a contract before the meeting.

The Rangers officially landed Artemi Panarin, the prize of this year's NHL free agency class, on Monday.
By Tuesday, Panarin was introduced to the media after touring Madison Square Garden.
"I want to say thank you to the Rangers organization," said Panarin, who signed a seven-year contract with the Rangers on Monday. "I appreciate the opportunity … I'm really happy."
Another superstar is coming to New York.
The Rangers made it official on Monday when they announced the signing of All-Star winger Artemi Panarin. According to SportsNet's Elliotte Friedman, the new contract is the largest in franchise history at $81.5 million over seven years.
Panarin took less to make his way to New York. The Blue Jackets, the team he played for last season, offered an eight-year, $96 million deal, which was also their largest contract in team history.

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Artemi Panarin is tihs summer's prized free agent in the NHL, and the Rangers are interested in adding him. Here's the latest updates:
July 1, 11:50 AM:
"All signs are pointing" to the Rangers landing Panarin, reports Darren Dreger of TSN. Dreger adds that it is believed Panarin is leaving money on the table to join the Blueshirts.
The Rangers have traded LW Jimmy Vesey to the Sabres in exchange for a 2021 NHL Draft pick, the team announced on Monday.
Vesey was in the final year of his two-year, $4.55 million deal with New York, so the Rangers created a little more cap space by getting rid of his contract.
Is it a coincidence that Vesey is a left winger and the Rangers are aggressively pursuing top free agent LW Artemi Panarin ahead of NHL free agency kicking off at noon today? Not at all.

Kaapo Kakko, the second-overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, caught up with SNY to discuss his first week as a member of the Rangers.
"It was a great week for me and for the team," Kakko said.
The Finnish winger also spoke about getting to know his new teammates and how his game translates to the NHL level.
The top free agent in the NHL market this summer is by far Artemi Panarin, the Blue Jackets' left winger that has been a consistent points machine for four seasons. The Rangers are expected to be very aggressive in trying to land him, but New York doesn't seem to be the favorite at the moment.
According to The Post's Brett Cyrgalis, the Panthers are the leading candidate to land the 27-year-old. The two main reasons Cyrgalis has the Panthers at the top is the fact that Florida doesn't have any state income taxes, and the Panthers have hired Joel Quenneville as head coach. Quennevile coached Panarin during his first two seasons with the Blackhawks.
Why does income tax matter? Florida can actually offer Panarin more than the Rangers, or even the Islanders, when it comes down to contracts. Panarin is looking to settle down with a seven-year deal at $11-12 million per season.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Rangers introduced members of their 2019 NHL Draft class to members of the media at Madison Square Garden.
Among the group was second-overall pick Kaapo Kakko, who gave his initial impression of MSG and the city of New York, and spoke about wanting to play with the Rangers next season.
A member of the 1994 Stanley Cup Champion Rangers has been induted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Defenseman Sergei Zubov, in his seventh year of eligibility, made the cut to join professional ice hockey's most esteemed players in Toronto's sacred hall. He joins a class that includes Guy Carbonneau, Václav Nedomanský and Haley Wickenheiser.
Although Zubov spent most of his career with the Dallas Stars, he began his career as a Ranger. Drafted in the fifth round in 1990, he played a pivotal role on the legendary 1994 team, scoring a career-high 89 points in 78 regular season games. He also added 19 more over 22 playoff contests en route to the Rangers' first championship in 54 years.
The Rangers are making their push for free agent Artemi Panarin, but their hopes of landing him do not appear favorable.
According to Rick Carpiniello of The Athletic, the Rangers are meeting with Panarin this week but it remains possible, if not probable, that he will sign with the Florida Panthers instead.
Rangers president John Davidson, who knows Panarin well from his time as the Columbus Blue Jackets president, is expected to be part of the meeting with the free agent winger.
The Rangers have announced their schedule for the 2019-20 season.
Highlights include:
- Seven of their first 10 games, and 11 of their first 16 games of the season taking place at Madison Square Garden
- Their 2,000th all-time regular season game at the current MSG on Oct. 27, 2019 against Boston.
- Three of their four games against the Islanders coming in a nine-day span from Jan. 13, 2020 to Jan. 21, 2020.
- Their five-day bye week following the 2020 NHL All-Star Game, which takes place on Jan. 26.
Check out the full schedule below...
As the first two picks of the 2019 NHL Draft, the careers of Jack Hughes of the Devils and Kaapo Kakko of the Rangers figure to be forever linked.
New Jersey only ratcheted up the recently dormant rivalry with their Manhattan counterparts further Saturday by pulling off a blockbuster trade for Norris Trophy-winning defenseman P.K. Subban, countering the Rangers big addition on the blue line earlier this month, the acquisition of first-pair defenseman Jacob Trouba from Winnipeg.
While free agency looms in July, the transformational addition of the Blueshirts' summer haul so far clearly was the Finnish-bred Kakko, the slam-dunk No.2 selection after the Devils expectedly opened the draft by grabbing Hughes, the 18-year-old American projected franchise center, with the top pick.
The Rangers are far from a finished product as they aim to climb back into playoff contention in the Metropolitan Division, but they officially have landed their coveted Finnish product.
Drafting 18-year-old winger Kaapo Kakko with the No.2 overall pick in the NHL Draft on Friday night in Vancouver was a slam-dunk choice after the rival Devils selected American center Jack Hughes first overall a few minutes earlier.
"Of course, it was my dream to be No. 1," Kakko told reporters Friday night in Vancouver. "But of course, the second one is also good, and every team in the NHL is a good team, so I'm happy.
"I've never been to New York before, but I think it's coming. It's my plan and my hope I can be there next season."
Rangers fans have been waiting eagerly to see which super-prospect they would get ever since they moved up to second in the draft lottery in May. Now, the waiting is finally over.
General manager Jeff Gorton chose Kaapo Kakko second overall in the NHL Draft on Friday night, gifting the Rangers a generational talent that instantly slots into their top-six forward group.
The Devils made Gorton's decision easy by selecting U.S.-born Jack Hughes first overall, leaving Kakko the clear-cut best option. Although he went second overall, Kakko is projected to be a budding superstar and becomes the most exciting prospect in a stacked Rangers system.
Ryan Callahan's NHL career appears to be coming to an end.
The former Rangers captain, currently on the Tampa Bay Lightning, was told by doctors he has a degenerative back disease and was recommended that he no longer play hockey, Lightning GM Julien BriseBois announced on Thursday.
Callahan, 34, opened up about his back condition in an interview with the team's website, calling it a "degenerative disc disease," and essentially confirmed he will not be returning.
The Rangers are in the midst of a rebuild, but their latest move already has them trending in the right direction.
New York struck a deal with the Jets to acquire D Jacob Trouba in exchange for Neal Pionk and the No. 20 overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft on Monday. Many believe the Rangers got a steal in this trade, acquiring a 25-year-old two-way defender that is one of the best in the league.
Getting Trouba onto their roster is just another positive step for the Rangers, who are impressing NBC Sports' NHL analyst Pierre McGuire.

The NHL Draft Lottery was kind to the New York Rangers, a team looking to accelerate their rebuild as fast as possible. And on Friday, they'll be selecting No. 2 overall in Vancouver.
And with that pick, it's almost certain that it will be Finnish winger Kaapo Kakko, who many view as the second-best prospect in the Draft behind United States C Jack Hughes.
If the mock drafts and speculation hold true, the Rangers will be getting Kakko - a 6-foot-2, aggressive player that has the potential to go down in history as one of the best to come out of Finland.
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia
Round 1: Friday, June 21 at 8 p.m.; TV: NBCSN
Rounds 2-7: Saturday, June 22 at 1 p.m.; TV: NHL Network
No. 2 (First Round)
No. 20 (First Round, via Winnipeg)
No. 49 (Second Round, via Dallas)
No. 58 (Second Round, via Tampa Bay)
No. 68 (Third Round)
No. 112 (Fourth Round, via Columbus)
No. 130 (Fifth Round)
No. 161 (Sixth Round)
No. 205 (Seventh Round, via Columbus)
After the Jets bungled the process a bit, the Rangers swooped in and traded for star defenseman Jacob Trouba on Monday night -- and got him for a price that most saw as very low.
That price was Neal Pionk and the No. 20 pick in the upcoming NHL draft.
On a conference call Tuesday morning, Trouba talked about the "shock" of getting traded, said he "couldn't be more excited" to be on the Rangers, and talked about his future.
The acquisition of Jacob Trouba from the Winnipeg Jets represents the start of a new era on Broadway. No longer will the Blueshirts be hoping the ping pong balls fall in their direction during the draft lottery. Rather, they are planning to be battling for playoff positioning as the season winds down next spring.
Trouba will immediately become the top-pairing right-handed defenseman in the Rangers lineup.
"He is a big defenseman, he is 25 years old, can play against the best players, has offense, can kill penalties, and is in the prime of his career," Rangers general manager Jeff Gorton said as he raved about Trouba's skill set. "The opportunity for a player like that to become available doesn't happen all the time, we jumped on it."
The Rangers acquired Winnipeg Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba for defenseman Neal Pionk and the No. 20 pick in the NHL draft, the team announced Monday.
Trouba, 25, is a restricted free agent who recorded eight goals, 42 assists and 50 points for Winnipeg last season, scoring 18 points on power plays.
"He's in the prime of his career ... we jumped on it," Rangers GM Jeff Gorton said.
The Rangers are aggressively pursuing a trade for Winnipeg defenseman Jacob Trouba, according to the New York Post, but they're not alone.
The rival Islanders and Devils are also in the mix for Trouba, per the Post.
Trouba, a 25-year-old righty, is a restricted free agent who's been the subject of trade rumors for quite some time. With the Jets facing a cap issues, a Trouba trade might finally happen this offseason. The NHL Draft is next weekend and free agency starts on July 1, so it could happen sooner than later.

There is recent precedent for the Rangers buying out a player to save some cap space, a longtime warrior at that. They bought out Dan Girardi's contract two years ago, and they could very well go the buyout route for at least one player this summer when the buyout period opens on Saturday.
"In all honesty, we haven't ruled it out," Rangers GM Jeff Gorton told the New York Post. "It's on the table. And regardless of what we do with this buyout window, we'd certainly look at the second one, too, depending on what comes up over the next few weeks. A lot can happen."
As the Post reports, Brendan Smith and Kevin Shattenkirk are the two big buyout candidates for the Blueshirts. Are there others? Let's take a look at whom the Rangers might buy out as they prepare for an important summer.

It's every young athlete's dream to play for the team he or she grew up rooting for.
For Adam Fox, that dream has become reality.
The 21-year-old defenseman signed with the Rangers this offseason after three years at Harvard, and his new boss has big things in mind for him.
The New York Rangers enter the NHL offseason in one of the best positions: They have money to spend, and are a prime free agent destination.
Some of the game's biggest names, like Erik Karlsson and Artemi Panarin, have already been linked to the Rangers before free agency begins on July 1. The team also scored a major victory in the draft lottery and will get to select a franchise player with the second overall pick.
While the Rangers are expected to be finalists for either Panarin or Karlsson this summer, that doesn't mean they should be done shopping. They have many prospects gunning for spots, but it is a little bit of proven veteran goal scoring that has a way of coming up clutch in the Stanley Cup playoffs-just look at Justin Williams and Patrick Maroon in this year's postseason.

It wouldn't have mattered which team had the No. 1 pick in the NHL Draft. Jack Hughes just wants to be the first player taken.
"You always dream of being No. 1," Hughes told reporters Friday at the NHL Scouting Combine in Buffalo. "You don't dream of being two, three or four when you're a young kid."
But the 18-year-old American center isn't about to ruffle any feathers. Asked whether he'd look better in red or blue, with the Devils and Rangers holding the top two picks in the NHL Draft, Hughes said, "I think I'd look good in either."
It was a rough season for the NHL's Hudson River Rivalry.
The Devils took a huge step back after making the playoffs in 2017-18, their 72 points the third-fewest in the league, while the Rangers were only six points better as they embarked on their first full season of their rebuild.
But next month's NHL Draft represents an opportunity for both teams to add a potential game-changing prospect, as the Devils hold the No. 1 pick with the Rangers picking right after at No. 2. American center Jack Hughes and Finnish wing Kaapo Kakko should be the top-two picks in some order, with Hughes long pegged as the top prospect in this draft class.

With John Davidson set to make his first draft selection as president of the Rangers next month, Kaapo Kakko being available at No. 2 is becoming more and more tantalizing.
The 18-year-old showed out for Team Finland, which captured the gold medal, at the IHF World Championship this past month. Finland bested Canada, 3-1, in the championship match Monday.
Kaako poured in six goals, leading the team, and added an assist during the team's championship run, which capped an historic 13-month stretch for him. He became the sixth player ever to win an U-18 world championship, world junior championship and men's world championship.
Although no New York-area teams made it to the Stanley Cup Final this year, the Empire State will still have a large impact on hockey's grandest stage. Twelve players from the Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues have connections with the New York metro area in some way, so local fans still have plenty of reasons to tune in.
Boston Bruins
The Bruins have one of the largest collections of American-born hockey players of any team in the NHL. Not surprisingly, several of them have called New York home for at least part of their careers.

Twenty-five years ago today, Mark Messier immortalized himself in Rangers history.
The Blueshirts captain scored a hat trick in Game 6 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals, backing up his bold prediction from the day before that the Rangers would beat the Devils and force a Game 7.
Messier's goals all came in the third period and included the game-tying and go-ahead goals in the 4-2 road victory at Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, NJ.
John Davidson's years as a goaltender and broadcaster for the Rangers made him a natural fit for their president vacancy. But beyond his connections to the franchise, Davidson comes with the experience of rebuilding franchises in St. Louis and Columbus as the Rangers go through a remodeling of their own.
No situation is the same, but as Davidson embarks on the next chapter of his career, it's worth examining the moves he made at his previous two stops to help bring the Blues back to prominence and give the Blue Jackets their first taste of sustained competitiveness.

The defeats over the previous two days felt like something from the distant past. Zack Greinke was pitching, which these days equates to an automatic victory for the Dodgers.
With Greinke taking a shutout into the ninth inning, the Dodgers won their sixth consecutive game started by their $147-million co-ace, a 6-2 victory over the inexperienced and overmatched Chicago Cubs on Monday at Dodger Stadium.
This almost looked unfair, as one of baseball's best pitchers did more or less whatever he wanted to one of the National League's sorriest teams.
"Location was good, defense was good," Greinke said. "It was a fun game all the way around."
Greinke faced one batter more than the minimum over the first seven innings and held the Cubs scoreless until he served up a two-run double to Brian Bogusevic with two out in the ninth.
Smiling, Greinke lamented the loss of the shutout.
"It was frustrating," he said. "I made some good pitches."
Greinke limited the Cubs to five hits and two walks. Brian Wilson recorded the final out of the game.
The dominant performance maintained a pattern that has developed in recent weeks, as Greinke (13-3) won his fifth consecutive decision. Over his last four starts, he has given up three runs.
For the last-place Cubs, life won't become any better Tuesday. Clayton Kershaw is scheduled to start for the Dodgers.
Knowing Greinke and Kershaw's turns in the rotation were coming up was a reason why the Dodgers didn't appear particularly concerned about losing the final two games of their series against the Boston Red Sox.
The games against the Red Sox, however, made alarms sound in Don Mattingly's head. The manager was disturbed by what he perceived to be lackadaisical approaches at the plate by his hitters.
Of the Red Sox, he said, "I think over there, it was a little more intense and more fight in their at-bats.
"I saw them foul off more tough pitches and just take advantage of everything we did wrong.
"If we're going to get to where we want to go, those are the kinds of teams we're going to have to be. That's how everybody is going to be playing. It kind of gives you a little barometer of the kind of baseball you have to play."
The Cubs didn't offer the Dodgers that caliber of opponent. But the Dodgers responded by playing the kind of baseball Mattingly wanted.
The Dodgers were blanked by Jake Arrieta over the first three innings, but gradually wore him down. By the end of the game, they had scored more runs than they had in the entire Red Sox series (five).
Arrieta was knocked out of the game two batters into the sixth inning. He has already thrown 111 pitches as the Dodgers worked counts and drew five walks.
The Dodgers' first three runs were scored by players who walked.
A.J. Ellis was driven in on a single by Greinke in the fourth inning. Nick Punto scored on a ground-rule double by Carl Crawford later in the inning.
Mark Ellis drew a leadoff-walk in the sixth and scored on a double by Punto that ended Arrieta's night.
The Dodgers increased their lead to 4-0 that inning, as Crawford drove in Punto on a sacrifice fly.
The Dodgers' final two runs came on home runs by Hanley Ramirez in the seventh inning and by Yasiel Puig in the eighth.

February hasn't included the healthiest of foods here on Meats and Sweets so here's a dinner idea to lighten things up.
I used tilapia for this recipe but have decided that tilapia isn't my favorite fish. Use any thin, white fish filets, like red snapper, bass, sole, founder... it's really up to you.
To help ensure you're making ocean friendly choices in your seafood shopping take a peak at the Monteray Bay Seafood Watch Guide. There is also a free app.
Serves 2.
Blackened Fish
2 fish filets
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
pinch fennel powder
Lemon wedges, for serving
Combine all ingredients except fish, butter and lemon to make seasoning.
Dredge fish filets in melted butter and sprinkle over both sides of each with seasoning. Cook in a skillet at high heat about 5 minutes on each side until blackened.
Serve on sandwiches or with a side of vegetables. I needed something fresh tasting so I served the fillets with vegetables packets. It was carrots, yellow squash and zucchini folded into parchment paper with olive oil, thyme sprigs, lemon slices, salt and pepper. Then it was baked in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 -12 minutes.

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro Lens
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro Lens
Rental Includes:
• Front Cap
• Rear Cap
• 67mm UV Filter
• Lens Hood
The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro Lens sports Image Stabilization that produces sharper images for both macro and portrait shooting. Acceptably sharp images can be achieved at shutter speeds as low as 1/10th of a second. In addition, this is a true 1:1 macro lens, which means it can reproduce items at life-size magnification (for a greater than 1:1 reproduction ratio, check out the Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro ). The 100mm focal length also makes this an ideal portrait lens. This is one of the few macro lenses that produces amazing closeup imagery without having to rely on rail systems for stability. It works well hand-held and is a comfortable size for everyday shooting. However, for extreme precision, the rental of the StackShot Extended Macro Rail Package, or similar, is recommended. This 100mm can be paired with both full frame sensor cameras, such as the Canon 5D Mark III, and with crop frame sensor cameras, such as the Canon 7D Mark II. The focal length equivalent on crop frame sensors is 160mm (the magnification will still be 1:1 – the ratio designates how large the lens renders subjects on the image circle, though you will see scene cropping on APS-C sensors). This lens is a favorite among wedding photographers because it captures faces as well as small details (like rings and flowers) with exceptional crispness.
• Focal Length: 100mm (160mm Equivalent for Crop Sensor) with Canon EF Mount

I would imagine that most of the users who come from America (and probably more from outside our shores) are familiar with the concept of Rollover Minutes when it pertains to mobile phone plans. The idea is that if you do not use all of you minutes in a month, they will get "rolled over" to the next billing month, allowing you to use those rollover minutes in case you go over your limit in the future.
I think that we can take this concept and apply it towards the idea of rep limits here on StackOverflow. The idea is that if you hit your rep limit, but then continue to gather upvotes for that time period, those extra upvotes could be "banked". These banked points would then be used to offset downvotes that you cast and downvotes cast against you (and other reputation droppers such as a deleted post costing you 100 rep).
Current System
Daily Rep Limit = 200
You have accumulated 200 rep through 25 up votes (50 rep not counted due to limit)
If you receive a downvote, your rep is now down to 198 and it will take another future upvote to push it back +2 (wasting another 8 points) to get you back to the rep limit.
Note: If you have 215 rep via 25 up votes and an acccepted answer, this turns out even worse because you'll be dropped to 213 rep without any chance of boosting back up that +2 because you are still technically over the rep limit.
Daily Rep Limit = 200
You have accumulated 200 rep through 25 up votes (50 rep "banked")
If you receive a downvote, your rep remains at 200 (Banked rep now = 48)
If you have 215 rep through 25 up votes and an accepted answer, I would also hope that it could correctly calculate your "new rep limit" of 215 so that you could be prevented from losing that 2 rep (which would knock you down to 213) and have no way of making it up.
Also, any further upvotes (again now that you have hit rep) would be applied to your banked points.
Further Details
Banked rep can only be used during the same day it was banked (this would prevent someone from accumulating hundreds of banked rep points which could prevent them from ever really losing any rep again)
If necessary we could impose a bank limit, which would only allow you to have X points banked at any one time (say 50 or 100).

Emmitsburg, Md. (February 23, 2013)--Brett Schmidt, Cody Lehrer and Andrew Scalley combined for 11 goals to lead Mount St. Mary's to a 15-12 win over Delaware on Saturday afternoon at Waldron Family Stadium on campus. Scalley finished the game with a career-high nine points on three goals and six assists.
After Delaware's Nick Diachenko opened the scoring just 41 seconds into the game, the Mount (2-1) responded with four goals in a span of 4:26 for a 4-1 advantage. Daniel Stranix opened the scoring run, followed by a pair of goals from Brett Schmidt and one from Scalley.
Diachenko stopped the streak with his second goal of the game, but Lehrer answered for a 5-2 advantage. The high-octane first quarter continued as Delaware's Connor McRoy, Brett Schmidt, and Diachenko all scored in the final 1:36. When the dust settled, the Mount led 6-4 after one quarter of play.
After the high-scoring first quarter, the game settled down, as Scalley scored the lone goal of the second quarter to put the Mount ahead 7-4 at the half.
Lehrer and Bryant Schmidt opened the scoring in the third quarter for a 9-4 advantage, but Delaware responded with five unanswered goals to tie the game at 9-9. Brian Kormondy started the run with 8:08 left in the third quarter before Danny Keane cut the deficit to 9-6. Diachenko added back-to-back scores and the run was capped by a Kormondy goal with six seconds left in the quarter.
Lehrer put the Mount back ahead, 10-9, just under four minutes into the final quarter, but McRoy answered with 8:06 left to knot the score at 10-10.
The Mount took control of the game with three goals in a span of 3:21 to make it 13-10 with 3:11 left. Scalley scored the go-ahead goal, ripping a shot past the goalkeeper on a nice feed from Anthony Golden. Eric Ososki added his first goal of the season two minutes later and Lehrer's fourth goal of the game pushed the Mount lead to three with 3:11 left.
Scalley led the Mount with three goals and six assists for nine points. The senior has 17 points over the past two games, and leads the Mount with 19 points (7g, 12a) this year.
Lehrer finished with four goals and one assist in the game. He leads the Mount nine goals this year. Brett Schmidt added four goals in the win, extending his streak of consecutive games with at least one goal to 31.
Goalkeeper Adam Borgogelli won his second consecutive start, finishing with 13 saves in the game.
Diachenko paced Delaware with five goals and one assist while McRoy added two goals and two assists. Chris Herbert allowed 12 goals while making nine saves in 56:46 of action.
The Mount is back in action at Virginia on Tuesday, February 26, at 7:00 p.m.

Henry: Third Arsenal spell never likely
Thierry Henry has insisted he never came close to signing another loan deal with Arsenal during this January transfer window and has admitted last year's temporary stint back at the club came as a surprise to him.
Arsenal's record scorer Henry was widely expected to sign another short-term deal with the club as he trained with Arsene Wenger's squad following the end of the MLS season with New York Red Bulls last November.
But Henry, who was recently linked with support for a possible takeover of the club by billionaire Alisher Usmanov, stresses he never came close to a third stint under Wenger's command.
"It was never in the air (that I would return), despite the speculation," Henry said in an interview with Al Jazeera. "I never spoke to the boss about it and he never mentioned it to me so it was not an issue.
"It was never meant to happen that I went back last year either. I was just training and then it happened and it was great to play with great players, work under the manager again.
"I still love the club and I would say that in the eight seasons I played there, we had some great memories. There were some bad ones along the way, but you always try to remember the good ones."
Meanwhile, Henry has called on the game's authorities to come down heavily on players and fans who are found guilty of racist abuse, as he has called for points deductions to be used as the ultimate punishment.
"The solution to this issue for me would be to take points away from team, that is the only solution," Henry said. "I have not experienced racist abuse in America. It is very different here."
Henry, 35, added that he expects to see out the remaining two years of his contract with New York Red Bulls before hanging up his boots, but he admits that playing in the MLS is a step down from the top European leagues he has played in.
"It's difficult to compare and I don't want to be harsh, but you cannot compare playing in the Premier League, in Spain, Italy or France and playing in the MLS," he added. "I'm not having a go at the MLS, but you cannot compare.
"The league is progressing really well. We have a lot of players who want to come here now and when you see the commitment of a guy like Beckham, it is progressing.
"Ideally, it would be great if you didn't have a salary cap and only having a few guys who can earn above that. It is a very hard one to deal with. Imagine if you said to Barcelona they could only have three players on a salary cap? But this is the way it is and you have to accept it.
"I have been very fortunate in my career because I have not had any big injuries, so hopefully two more years. I would love to win the MLS before I finish and hopefully we can do it."

Momentum is a one-game deal in the playoffs, and as high as the Dodgers were feeling Monday, they were as low after Tuesday.
The Dodgers fell, 4-2, to the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, leaving them down three games to one and without their offensive leader.
Shortstop Hanley Ramirez tried to play for a second consecutive day with a broken rib, but this time the pain proved too great. He could not conceal the agony as he swung the bat. It was actually hard to watch.
BOX SCORE: Cardinals 4, Dodgers 2
Ramirez struck out in all three of his at-bats and was finally taken out of the game in the seventh. It's not difficult to imagine he is done for the series.
The Dodgers could be done as soon as Wednesday afternoon's Game 5 at Dodger Stadium. Zack Greinke will start for the Dodgers, opposite St. Louis' Joe Kelly.
Manager Don Mattingly gave serious consideration to moving Greinke up and having him pitch Tuesday on short rest, but instead opted to go with Ricky Nolasco.
Nolasco, skipped over in the division series, had not started a game since Sept. 25.
He did not pitch well, but neither was he horrible for a guy who had not started a game in three weeks. He lasted four innings, his one major error giving up a mammoth two-run homer to Matt Holliday in the third.
But the Dodgers could never really get their offense going against Lance Lynn and the St. Louis bullpen.
Yasiel Puig and A.J. Ellis singled in runs in the fourth, the only inning the Dodgers could score.
Here is an inning-by-inning recap of Game 4 of the NLCS:
Cardinals 4, Dodgers 2 (final, end of ninth):
Closer Trevor Rosenthal took over in the ninth and immediately gave up a basehit to Andre Ethier.
Yet with the crowd on its feet, Rosenthal got Yasiel Puig to hit into a double play. Juan Uribe struck out, and the Dodgers were suddenly facing an elimination game.
Cardinals 4, Dodgers 2 (middle of ninth):
Carlos Marmol came out again in the eighth, and after a leadoff walk, retired the next three Cardinals, the last two looking at third strikes.
Many in the sellout crowd of 53,992 have slipped out, knowing the Dodgers are now down to their final three outs.
Cardinals 4, Dodgers 2 (end of eighth):
The Dodgers went weakly in the eighth, hard-throwing Carlos Martinez retiring retiring the Dodgers in order on three ground balls.
Due up in the ninth are Andre Ethier, Yasiel Puig and Juan Uribe.
Cardinals 4, Dodgers 2 (middle of eighth):
Ronald Belisario took over for the Dodgers in the eighth. He lasted three batters. He gave up a one-out single to Jon Jay and then hit Pete Kozma with a pitch.
That brought on Carlos Marmol for his first postseason appearance, and it was a good one.
Marmol struck out Daniel Descalso and got Shane Robinson to fly out to center.
Cardinals 4, Dodgers 2 (end of seventh):
The innings are starting to get kind of ugly for the Dodgers now.
They got a one-out double from Nick Punto, just in for Hanley Ramirez, and he was promptly picked off second by reliever Carlos Martinez.
Carl Crawford then weakly bounced out to first, and the Dodgers were six outs away from being down 3-1 in the series.
Cardinals 4, Dodgers 2 (middle of seventh):
The Cardinals added to their lead, if from an unlikely source.
With left-hander J.P. Howell taking over to start the seventh for the Dodgers, The Cardinals pinch hit Shane Robinson. It was only his second at-bat of the series, but he made it memorable.
Robinson hit a drive to left and Carl Crawford kept backing up and backing up until he was at the wall. The ball landed on top of the outfield wall and bounced out for a solo homer.
Howell created a little more suspense when he gave up a two-out walk to Carlos Beltran and single to Matt Holliday, but struck out Matt Adams.
Cardinals 3, Dodgers 2 (end of sixth):
When this inning ended, Nick Punto came out defensively for the Dodgers. Hanley Ramirez was in obvious pain swinging the bat. He struck out in his three at-bats. Dodgers probably had to tell him to sit.
In the bottom of the sixth Dodgers got a one-out single from Yasiel Puig, and that ended the night for Lance Lynn. Seth Maneess was able to get Juan Uribe to hit sharply into an inning-ending double play.
Lynn allowed two runs on six hits and three walks, with five strikeout in his 5 1/3 innings.
Cardinals 3, Dodgers 2 (middle of sixth):
Chris Withrow keeps struggling, and keeps getting out of trouble.
This time he issued a one-out walk to Yadier Molina. On a hit-and-run, Jon Jay's bat nipped the end of catcher A.J. Ellis' mitt. Ellis was called for catcher's interference, putting runners at first and second with no out.
Withrow then got the most timely double play of his young career, getting David Freese to hit a routine grounder to Juan Uribe at third.
Cardinals 3, Dodgers 2 (end of fifth):
The Dodgers got a leadoff single from Carl Crawford but never could advance him. Lance Lynn retired the next three Dodgers in order.
Hanley Ramirez struck out on three pitches and never swung the bat. You have to wonder if he's in too much pain to wing anymore.
After coming out to take the field, he did take detour to talk to home plate umpire Bruce Dreckman, so presumably he was not happy about the calls.
Cardinals 3, Dodgers 2 (middle of fifth):
Chris Withrow had a rough inning, but managed to get out of it.
He walked the pitcher, Lance Lynn, with one out. Always a no-no. After Matt Carpenter lined out to left, Withrow threw a wild pitch to advance Lynn to second and then balked him to third. Then he walked Carlos Beltran to bring up Matt Holliday.
Not an ideal situation, but this time Holliday bounced into a fielder's choice.
Cardinals 3, Dodgers 2 (end of fourth):
Things got interesting in the bottom of the fourth.
Adrian Gonzalez led off with double, and undeterred by St. Louis criticism from the previous game, did his little explosion gesture with gusto, and pointed into the Dodgers dugout.
Andre Ethier drew a full-count walk to bring up Yasiel Puig. Lance Lynn's first pitch was at his chin. Puig, the other Dodger the Cardinals were upset with Monday for being a tad too celebratory, gave Lynn a look but turned and walked away.
Lynn worked Puig to another full count before he hit a single past shortstop Daniel Descalso for a run-scoring single. At first, he pointed both hands to the sky.
Juan Uribe flied out to the warning track in right, Ethier tagging and taking third, before A.J. Ellis lined a single to center to score him.
Skip Schumaker hit for Nolasco, but bounced into an inning-ending double play.
In his four innings, Nolasco gave up three runs on three hits and a walk, with four strikeouts. Chris Withrow has taken over for the Dodgers to start the fifth.
Cardinals 3, Dodgers 0 (middle of fourth):
Meanwhile, it was back to the Ricky Nolasco who looks crisp and ready to throw blanks.
Nolasco retired the Cardinals quickly in order in the fourth. Good Nolasco, bad Nolasco, good Nolasco.
Cardinals 3, Dodgers O (end of third):
The Dodgers looked almost stunned to be down three runs.
Then went down in order and Hanley Ramirez, in his second at-bat, still appeared to be in considerable pain. He struck out on a pitch in the dirt.
Cardinals 3, Dodgers 0 (middle of third):
A three-run lead feels huge in this series, and it's what the Cardinals built in the third. Feels like 30-0.
Daniel Descalso led off the inning with a single and Lancy Lynn's bunt sacrificed him to second. After Carlos Beltran bounced out sharply to second to move Descalso to third, Matt Carpenter doubled to left to score the game's first run.
Matt Holliday, dubbed the key to the Cardinals offense, then destroyed the first pitch he saw, sending it an estimated 426 feet out to left in the Dodgers bullpen for a two-run homer.
Dodgers 0, Cardinals 0 (end of second):
Dodgers managed their first rally after Andre Ethier blooped a one-out single and Yasiel Puig drew his first walk of the postseason.
Juan Uribe his a soft liner to first, and then A.J. Ellis walked to load the bases with two outs.
Unfortunately, that brought up Ricky Nolasco, who was quickly called out on strikes.
Dodgers 0, Cardinals 0 (middle of first):
The Cardinals got the first baserunner with a one-out walk to Yadier Molina, but Ricky Nolasco struck out Jon Jay and David Freese end end the threat.
Nolasco continues to look very sharp.
No balls were hit to Hanley Ramirez to test his sore left side. Ramirez doesn't it feel the rib injury when he throws but when he reaches for a ball with his glove.
Dodgers 0, Cardinals 0 (end of first):
There was bad news for the Dodgers in the first, and it had little to do with Lance Lynn retiring them in order.
Shortstop Hanley Ramirez was in obvious pain swinging the bat. Twice he walked away after a swing like someone had just stabbed him in the side. That cracked rib looks like it's killing him.
He struck out and then slowly walked to his shortstop position. He's moving slowly, but still out there for now.
Dodgers 0, Cardinals 0 (middle of first):
That would qualify as a good beginning for Ricky Nolasco.
Nolasco, who last started a game three weeks ago, breezed through the Cardinals in the first, retiring them in order.
And he needed only six pitches. Guess the St. Louis plan isn't to wear him down.
The Dodgers mulled and mulled whether to push Zack Greinke up and start him early Tuesday, before finally going with right-hander Ricky Nolasco.
That would be the Nolasco who hasn't started since Sept. 25, and wasn't exactly pitching at his best then. The dice are rolling.
If the Dodgers are going to continue to build off the momentum of Monday's 3-0 victory, they will need a big outing from Nolasco Tuesday in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the Cardinals.
They have their full lineup back, including Hanley Ramirez and Andre Ethier. The Cardinals had David Freese leave Monday's game with a calf issue, but he is back in their lineup.
The Dodgers will have to go to historic levels if they're to top the drama they managed on this day 25 years ago. When this guy hit a ninth-inning home run. Maybe you remember it. Kirk Gibson's shot was voted the greatest sporting moment in Los Angeles history.
The Cardinals will send out right-hander Lance Lynn Tuesday, who brings out his own history, and it's not good for the Dodgers. In 18 lifetime innings against the Dodgers, Lynn is 2-0 with a 2.50 ERA.

Spencer Wirth-Davis didn't leave his house for days after his mom died.
The Minneapolis hip-hop producer was 24 at the time. He had spent the previous three years of his young life by his mother's side, watching as ovarian cancer waged war inside her body. She succumbed to the disease in April 2010, and her son closed himself off from the world.
"Imagine losing the person you can't imagine losing," said close friend Chris Hooks, also known as the rapper TruthBeTold. "He looked hopeless."
But when Wirth-Davis emerged from that funk, the music flowed out of him as if a dam had been opened. He knew what he had to do.
He'd make an album for his mother.
But no rhymes. Just music, just beats. His mom, Christi, loved instrumental music -- she listened to Bach during chemotherapy. While Wirth-Davis is classically trained himself, he planned a different kind of symphony.
The finished album, filled with Motown-inspired soul and dense atmospheric melodies, is called "For My Mother." A release show featuring a 15-piece band is planned for Oct. 11 at Cedar Cultural Center.
His journey to finishing this record is a testament to hip-hop's lemons-make-lemonade ingenuity. Record labels aren't exactly excited to finance wordless rap albums these days. Wirth-Davis' job as an educator at an autism-focused charter school wasn't going to pay for it.
So he applied for a composer's fellowship from the McKnight Foundation worth $25,000.
On his third try, he got it. He was the youngest to ever receive it, and the first hip-hop musician. He quit his job the next day to focus on his album full-time.
Bach v. Ol' Dirty Bastard
Wirth-Davis is one-half of the hip-hop group the Tribe & Big Cats (he's Big Cats). With TruthBeTold on the microphone they are a prolific duo, having released three full-length albums that balance free-spirited party anthems with gritty think pieces.
Hip-hop wasn't his first love. He's played the stand-up bass (both classical and jazz) since he was 9. Growing up in Roseville, his mom shuttled him between daily private lessons. At first, she didn't know what to make of his rap music.
"She threw out a lot of my CDs when I was younger," Wirth-Davis said. "I went through three copies of Wu-Tang's '36 Chambers.'"
Like most traditional hip-hop producers, he started making beats by sampling old records. Sample-based producers extract short snippets from existing songs -- maybe a drum pattern or a piano chord -- to create a collage of sound, and eventually a new song.
His parents started taking his career seriously when, at 21, he landed a beat on indie-rap star Sage Francis' 2007 album "Human the Death Dance."
Around that time, his mom learned she had Stage IV ovarian cancer.
There is no Stage V. Early diagnosis is difficult -- symptoms are subtle, such as stomach pain and nausea.
She was 59 when it ended.
'Make ... money, donate it'
Wirth-Davis doesn't talk about it much, friends say. He just makes music -- lots of music. A month after "For My Mother" hits shelves, he'll release an album with the political rapper Guante called "You Better Weaponize." Guante said he thinks that the catharsis for Wirth-Davis has been in the recording process.
"That's one of our most powerful impulses as human beings," he said, "focusing that loss into something creative."
"For My Mother" is Wirth-Davis' attempt to make a record in the vein of his heroes: DJ Shadow, Madlib, Dilla. Those producers each made albums crafted from layers of samples, like patchwork quilts of sound. Nowadays, this style can be risky. Legal rights to use samples must be secured, and that costs money.
Wirth-Davis still wanted to make a sample-based record, so he hired a band to perform compositions he wrote and then sampled those recordings. The album has an ethereal sound, grounded by hard hip-hop beats.
The studio work called for more money, which he raised, to the tune of $8,290, through a Kickstarter-like website called USA Projects. (This guy should think about becoming a professional fundraiser.) He plans to donate 75 percent of the CD's proceeds to the Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance.
The first person to hear the finished album would have been his mother (as was their tradition). In her absence, he shared the record with his 89-year-old grandmother, Geraldine. While dementia had clouded her memory, she never forgot to ask him about his music. She was his mother's mother, after all.
Wirth-Davis played her the album in June. Grandma's two-word review made him smile. "Nice music," she said.
She died a few days later.
But Wirth-Davis isn't staying home anymore. He's been going to the studio every day.

During the days leading up to Christmas, employees at the Fashion Valley mall's undersized Starbucks pulled out their new Verismo coffee machine and demonstrated its coffee- and espresso-making abilities for passing patrons and customers.
On one of those days, a Starbucks employee who was offering samples from the single-serve coffeemaker ran out of cups and dashed into the stockroom to get more. When the employee returned, the machine had disappeared.
At first, the employee thought one of their coworkers had taken the machine back into the tightly packed store, but that was not the case. Someone had walked off with the coffee machine, which is priced at around $200.
The Verismo is the Starbucks version of the Keurig single-serve coffeemaker. Starbucks reportedly entered the market in September, after Keurig's patent on the single-serve "pods" expired.
I phoned the store today, December 31, and asked an employee whether or not they had found the missing Verismo. The busy barista sighed heavily and replied, "No."

There are security cameras ALL OVER That mall, they can track everyone from the time they enter the parking garage until the leave.......
For a lousy $200 coffeemaker? There are far bigger fish to fry every day, especially at that mall.
About that lede: The proper term is ESPRESSO, not EXPRESSO. Just sayin' ...
And it's lead (not "lede"). ;-)
Did you know that Google suggests, and automatically searches for, "lederhosen" when you try to Google "lede?"
Actually, "lede" is the proper term here. In the journalism industry, particularly in the United States, the word is spelled and pronounced to rhyme with "need." The alternate spelling was invented to differentiate it from references to the metal lead, which was used to cast type.
