St. Vincent girls knock off Montgomery
Published: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 3:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 3:44 p.m.
St. Vincent High School's Lady Mustang softball team came up with their most impressive win of the season in the Ukiah Tournament, rallying for two runs in the last of the seventh inning for a 5-4 over the North Bay League's Montgomery Lady Vikings. Trailing 4-3 going into their last chance, the Lady Mustangs rallied on a single by Morgan Selmi, a sacrifice by Hannah Sarlatte, Ursyla Baumgarten's game-tying triple and a long drive to right-center field by Hannah Upton to win the game.
Sarlatte earned the pitching win, working five strong innings in relief of Hayley Olson, who had to retire after two innings because of an injury. Sarlat5te allowed just two runs on seven hits, striking out two and not walking a batter.
Baumgarten accounted for two of the five St. Vincent hits and drove in two of its five runs.
Now 3-6 on the season, the St. Vincent girls play at Tomales Friday afternoon.

William Baldwin, Contributor
I write about investing and taxes.
Don't buy a house in a state where private sector workers are outnumbered by folks dependent on government.
Thinking about buying a house? Or a municipal bond? Be careful where you put your capital. Don't put it in a state at high risk of a fiscal tailspin.
Eleven states make our list of danger spots for investors. They can look forward to a rising tax burden, deteriorating state finances and an exodus of employers. The list includes California, New York, Illinois and Ohio, along with some smaller states like New Mexico and Hawaii.
If your career takes you to Los Angeles or Chicago, don't buy a house. Rent.
If you have money in municipal bonds, clean up the portfolio. Sell holdings from the sick states and reinvest where you're less likely to get clipped. Nebraska and Virginia are unlikely to give their bondholders a Greek haircut. California and New York are comparatively risky.
Two factors determine whether a state makes this elite list of fiscal hellholes. The first is whether it has more takers than makers. A taker is someone who draws money from the government, as an employee, pensioner or welfare recipient. A maker is someone gainfully employed in the private sector.
Let us give those takers the benefit of our sympathy and assume that every single one of them is a deserving soul. This person is either genuinely needy or a dedicated public servant or the recipient of a well-earned pension.
But what happens when these needy types outnumber the providers? Taxes get too high. Prosperous citizens decamp. Employers decamp. That just makes matters worse for the taxpayers left behind.
Let's say you are a software entrepreneur with 100 on your payroll. If you stay in San Francisco, your crew will support 139 takers. In Texas, they would support only 82. Austin looks very attractive.
Ranked on the taker/maker ratio, our 11 death spiral states range from New Mexico, with 1.53 takers for every maker, down to Ohio, with a 1-to-1 ratio.
The taker count is the number of state and local government workers plus the number of people on Medicaid plus 1 for each $100,000 of unfunded pension liabilities. Sources: the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and a study of state worker pensions done in 2009 by two academics, Joshua Rauh and Rovert Novy-Marx. Professor Rauh estimates that the shortage in pension funding is on average a third higher today.
The second element in the death spiral list is a scorecard of state credit-worthiness done by Conning & Co., a money manager known for its measures of risk in insurance company portfolios. Conning's analysis focuses more on dollars than body counts. Its formula downgrades states for large debts, an uncompetitive business climate, weak home prices and bad trends in employment.
Conning rates North Dakota the safest state to lend money to, Connecticut the most hazardous. A state qualifies for the Forbes death spiral list if its taker/maker ratio exceeds 1.0 and it resides in the bottom half of Conning's ranking.
It's easy to see how California got on our list. It has pampered a large army of civil servants while using every imaginable trick to chase private-sector jobs away, the latest being a quixotic scheme to reduce the globe's atmospheric carbon. A City Journal essay by Victor Davis Hanson notes that the state spends $10 billion a year on entitlements for illegal aliens.
Illinois is especially known for its dishonesty, whether among officeholders (future license plate motto: Land of Corruption) or in the habit of under-accounting for promises to government employees. The Rauh study counted $66 billion in the till to cover pension obligations of $233 billion.
To lend money to California, Illinois or the other nine states perched on the precipice requires a leap of faith. So does buying a house in those locales. Don't count on a property tax limit to protect your home's value. If other taxes are high enough, there won't be any buyers.
Worse yet, states like California are also prone towards "exit tax" schemes whereby they attempt to rob people with the good sense to leave.
Run, run, run wherever you will.
To no avail.
Once the Democrats nitwits have finished crapping in their own bed, they'll head for yours.
Then what?
Yeah, in this brave new world we are not supposed to call people "takers" just because they lay around all day talking on their "Obamaphones" and eating government cheese while some of us work.
If you think Cheryl`s story is inconceivable…, four weaks-ago my sister basically broght in $9320 putting in a eighteen hour week at home and the're roomate's half-sister`s neighbour was doing this for 6 months and made over $9320 part time from a labtop. the advice available at this link, —- Bin30.com
This problem is very easily solved: cancel all government pensions. All future and present obligations, gone. Today. Now.
But oh no, you say, just think of the suffering of government employees!
Tough. Welcome to the economic system the rest of the country lives under. You know, all the people who work till they're 75 to pay for your crazy benefits while you retire at 45 with a million-dollar claim on their hard-earned cash.
sigh. As for the state of the State of California, it's all true – and I say that as a staunch Democrat. A Democratic super-majority is not a good thing.
Where does the State of Washington rank in all of this? They also have huge pension problems. And public employee unions have a stranglehold on that state as well. They are currently licking their wounds but they are likely gearing up for another initiative to impose a state income tax on so-called high earners.
The trend line overlooked by most politicians – Gov. Brown especially (who made some ridiculous remark about divorces being the cause of the California exodus) – work has gone cyber. At the big, high tech Silicon Valley firm where I work, 40% of employees are "remote" – they work from home.
Highly skilled remote workers are getting out – moving to Reno, Tahoe, Austin, Jackson Hole etc.
P.S. a silver lining: voters in Marin and Sonoma counties went into revolt and rejected the state assembly candidate heavily subsidized by the SEIU.
In 2000, just over half the states had fully funded pension systems, the study said, but by 2008, Washington was one of only four states which could make that claim. "Washington has generally kept a careful eye on the health of its many pension plans, which are well funded on an aggregate basis," Pew reported.
hmmm – according to this 2009 newspaper article the State of Washington pension system has serious problems.

Ada —
The state Department of Education needs to be more open to suggestions from teachers and superintendents, a candidate for state superintendent of public instruction said Monday.
"I think there are great ideas, great need for collaboration. And I think we need to do more listening as we do some implementation of the reforms that have been passed through our Legislature in recent years," said Joy Hofmeister, a former teacher and business owner.
Hofmeister announced her candidacy to a group of school officials and other voters at Perfect Blend Coffee House, 730 E. Main. She is running against Superintendent Janet Barresi in the Republican primary election, set for June 2014.
Barresi's tenure has been marked by controversy over the A-F report card system for public schools, budget cuts for education and other issues, but Hofmeister said she did not have a sense of whether Barresi has fallen out of favor with the Republican Party.
A former first-grade teacher, Hofmeister is president of JLH Resources, doing business as Kumon of South Tulsa. Kumon is a local franchise of JLH Resources, which provides academic enrichment in math and reading to children.

Stop this filthy habit
2:36pm Wednesday 27th June 2012 in Readers' Letters
I HAPPENED to observe two local schoolboys standing in my neighbour's drive having a smoke.
This I have not got a problem with, if they wish to smell and die young it is their choice.
However, what I do object to is this filthy habit of constantly spitting, one lad felt he had to spit his smoke-contaminated saliva onto our pavement after every drag.
Heaven knows what his front room carpet is like.
This disgusting habit has now it seems been accepted as the norm. Most of the sports stars do it all the time and such a lovely image it projects in 3D, HD on our tellys.
Let's please have a law with some kind of fine to try and stop this disgusting, filthy, unnecessary addiction.
P D, Shirley, Southampton.

Well apprised of the most recent developments, yet grounded in his own deep Reformed faith, Bloesch goes beneath current reconstructions of the Jesus of history to probe underlying issues of theological method, models of salvation, the plausibility of miracles, the language of faith and the doctrine of sin.
As Bloesch declares, "Christology constitutes the heart of theology, since it focuses on God's work of salvation in the historical figure Jesus of Nazareth, and the bearing that this has on the history of humankind. To know the nature of God we must see his face in Jesus Christ." This important book is a vital exercise in seeing Jesus Christ faithfully and truthfully.
Donald G. Bloesch (Ph.D., University of Chicago) is professor of theology emeritus at Dubuque Theological Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa. He has done postdoctoral work at the universities of Oxford, T|bingen and Basel and has written numerous books. He is also a past president of the Midwest Division of the American Theological Society.

Race and Gender Differences under Federal Sentencing Guidelines

Using data from the United States Sentencing Commission, we examine how judicial biases may have influenced sentences during the era of the Federal criminal sentencing guidelines. Our utility maximization model of judicial sentencing preferences leads to a partially censored ordered probit model that accounts for mass points in the sentencing distribution that occur at the upper and lower guideline limits and at sentences involving no prison time. Our results indicate that racial- and gender-based discrepancies exist, even after controlling for circumstances such as the severity of the offense and past criminal history.

which specific app is this in the App Store ?? theres a ton of Craigslist apps ??
Umm.... use the link in the article ?!
Most misleading title I've ever seen... :rolleyes:
This app sucks. When searching for anything specific, it yields no results even when there are results with doing the same search on the site.
Craigslist have their own App which is almost identical and has always been FREEEEEE! Not only that it has always been reliable.
Hi, I know this is off topic. I just bought an iphone and I want to know the best insurance companies for iPhone. Have you heard of ensquared? Thanks
I only wish this app let you filter to only posts that include pics
The Craigslist app does not work! I keep getting this

I've been trying to get on since yesterday 11/3. I want my money back. Any advise is appreciated!!!
I was excited to use this app to post photos on Craigslist from my iPhone but I can't seem to be able to upload any photos?? Renders the app useless for me.

TRAVERSE CITY — Motorists struck two pedestrians in two successive dreary mornings in Traverse City.
Emergency crews transported a Kaleva boy, 13, to Munson Medical Center on Wednesday after a vehicle struck him near the intersection of Munson Avenue and Cochlin Street when he tried to run across several lanes of traffic.
Traverse City Police Capt. Brian Heffner said the teen was treated for "non-life threatening" injuries to his upper body and head.
The incident occurred at 7:48 a.m. about two blocks from Traverse City Central High School. Heffner didn't return calls to confirm if the teen was a student and Traverse City Area Public Schools spokeswoman Christine Guitar said she couldn't comment.
"Because no incident occurred on campus it wouldn't be appropriate to confirm," Guitar said.
The driver, a Traverse City man, 33, wasn't ticketed or found at-fault, unlike another motorist on Tuesday who struck a pedestrian while she turned into a McDonald's parking lot on Front Street.
Heffner said the driver in that incident, a Traverse City woman, 47, didn't see the pedestrian on the sidewalk near the restaurant.
That incident occurred at 7:36 a.m. and the victim, an Alden woman, 25, was treated for minor injuries to her abdomen. The driver was ticketed for failure to yield.

It was halftime during the championship game of the Willie Clemons Holiday Classic at Southeast High School -- a tournament that has grown into an annual winter-break tradition for Coach John Harder and his Lady Noles varsity basketball team.
As they huddled together for a few last words of encouragement before heading back out onto the court, you could feel the pride and respect flow both ways.
For Harder, it's a scene that's been repeated hundreds of times in his 28 years of coaching at the school. Win or lose, the circumstances may change from year to year, but some things always stay the same:
You play hard.
You give it your all.
And when you work together, someone's always got your back.
Here's to Coach Harder and his winning team -- they beat Sanford Seminole 60-24.
May you all have a great 2013.

Centrifugal chillers
The York model YK centrifugal chillers from Johnson Controls used falling-film technology to accomplish refrigerant reduction, improving efficiency.
Johnson Controls has announced a refrigerant-charge reduction of up to 40% in its York model YK centrifugal chillers. Falling-film technology is used to accomplish the refrigerant reduction. This technology improves the efficiency of chiller evaporators by spraying refrigerant over the tubes instead of covering the tubes in a refrigerant bath. Because of the efficiency improvement, less refrigerant is needed. When equipped with an OptiSpeed variable-speed drive, the chillers can reduce energy usage to as low as 0.20 kW/TR at off-design conditions.

The Daily Star — Step Back in Time

DELHI — Edwin Barthos of Richmondville looked out his window at the fresh patch of grass growing where the old dairy barn used to sit. Last winter, he sold the frame of the dilapidated barn to Edwin Cady.
Cady, a builder from Roxbury, Conn., re-erected it as the frame for Randall's Ordinary bed-and-breakfast sleeping quarters in nearby North Stoningham, Conn. Cady wants only the frames to New York barns like the one Barthos had, and he has moved between 200 and 300 of them in the past 12 years.
"We put up the barn and build a house around the barn," said Cady. "That way, no weight sits on the frame."
The going price to have a barn brought from upstate New York to be rebuilt in the posh country settings surrounding the metropolitan area begins in the $400,000 range.
Moving barns to the suburbs of Connecticut, Westchester County and Long Island is indicative of the cresting wave of country chic.
Barthos said his 80-by-50 foot barn on Brooker Hollow high above Richmondville was in bad shape and only 30 feet from his house. He and his wife, Teri, were worried about their children getting hurt in it.
"I was just glad to see the barn go down," said Barthos.
Home for these barns, once they are scrubbed and re-erected, is mostly commuter Connecticut. Cady said, "It's out in the sticks here. But it's a money town."

I write about the importance of creativity in modern branding.
Best Buy just did exactly what I suggested JC Penney do in my recent post, "The Lesson Of JC Penney: If No One Cares About You, Your New Pricing Model Doesn't Matter." I agued that JC Penney was solving a pricing problem with a newfangled pricing model when the real problem was brand relevance. Further, I suggested they take a hard look at themselves to find a brand idea first:
"Just answer that question – 'What motivates the decisions you make?' – and you might just find your brand idea, your relevance, your reason-for-being, your brand truth, ready and waiting for a little creative market-exploitation."
Best Buy has done exactly that with their new positioning, tag line, and ad campaign, under the banner, "Making Technology Work For You." Check out one of their new television spots to get a feel for the idea here.
Let's take the tag line on its face. Here's why I think it's powerful for Best Buy.
Making Technology Work For You.
Technology. Technology has always been Best Buy's focus from a product standpoint, so we're building upon a truth. This word alone elevates the brand above all of the products they sell. Technology can change, and will change, but Best Buy is promising to master it all. The focus is not around pricing. It's about technology. And within the context of the rest of the tag line, becomes a dynamic force.
Service. With the word, "Making," the tag line is active, not passive. The brand suddenly shifts from static store with a bunch of stuff in it, to an engaging, dynamic, productive, partner in a human being's interactions with technology. This notion starts to immunize Best Buy from the Amazon "showrooming strategies" because there's no one to talk to at Amazon. No one's going to help you. Sure you can read consumer product reviews, but those rarely talk about the many applications of the products. And technology can be complex, which brings us to…
Pain point. The biggest fear people have with technology is whether it'll work or not. Best Buy will "make technology work." I buy it, makes sense coming from them, and, as long as they can actually deliver it, cool.
Customization. Possibly my favorite part of the line is "…for you." These two words not only finish the thought, "Making technology work for you," these two words imply that not all two people are created equal when it comes to technology because no two people want to use technology the same way. Acknowledging this fact empowers the consumer, compliments them, and admits, in essence, "We don't know how you're going to use it and that excites us." Best Buy is wisely leveraging this insight as a springboard for the television creative (multiple true stories of surprising ways people are using technology).
Fact is, people are doing amazing things with technology these days. My virtual company, Ideasicle, would not exist without it. Technology is a driver of innovation not because of what the technology can do, but because of what you can do with the technology.
And if Best Buy truly delivers on this promise – and judging from the operational investments in training there's reason to believe they will - Best Buy will create a new value transaction with their consumers. A value RadioShack wisely dabbled with during it's "Do stuff" phase, but unwisely abandoned without giving it a chance. A value that may inspire people to actually care about the Best Buy brand. Better yet, to a consumer, which retailer literally has the " best buy" in terms of product pricing will become more of an after-thought, and less the reason for being.
JC Penney could learn from Best Buy's move. I just hope it's not too late for either of them.
I agree Best Buy's slogan relates nicely to its market. And this brand promise suggests they will do more for their customers than the competitors that have been hurting them: Walmart and Amazon, to name a couple.
The flip side: technology is mostly easier today than in the past. The vast majority of consumers can set up their phone, iPad, or laptop without needing a lot of help. These are the customers who will buy from low-service merchants to snag the lowest price.
Forgive me for expressing doubt. I've emailed Best Buy and posted in their forums a purchase related question.
The response I got from them was, check the manufacturer's website. Which of course I had already done.
In short, their answer was: Why would we know, go talk to the OEM and if they say xyz will work you can buy it from us. But of course, after the hassle why would I?
Brand promises are great, but the results on the ground are what matter and that's just not happening. The black ties for the geek squad don't really resonant with the customers either in my opinion.
I agree with the with their slogan from the creatives behind the idea's standpoint and even the employee standpoint. However, as a former Best Buy employee, I don't agree that Best Buy corporate takes this stance. I've watched their commercial on the Kiva project, and to me they are trying to ride the coattails of a woman that had a fantastic idea a few years ago.
Best Buy didn't have anything to do with her great accomplishment, it was all her drive and passion for the project; they were just happy to make another sell.
The employees at the stores do make all the difference when it comes to customer experience, especially compared to Amazon and Wal-Mart, but Best Buy corporate cared very little for its employees, so I know they don't really care about their customers except for when it fills their piggy banks. So, from my perspective: great idea, great execution, wrong people to be making the message.

Media around the world grapple with decisions about when to publish graphic images. These include the aftermath of terrorist attacks and images of war.
Photos have power that words cannot match. Decisions about publishing disturbing photos are never taken lightly. Shock value alone does not justify publication.
Wednesday, The Daily Item published a photograph of a police officer shooting one of two cows that had escaped from a trailer. The animals wandered around for 90 minutes after their escape. They resisted several attempts to be captured. One was corralled but escaped by trampling over a man. Police and the owner decided the animals must be killed to prevent them from injuring someone or running into traffic on Route 11. Waiting for a tranquilizer was ruled out as an option.
In the larger context of world events, the decision to publish the photo would not seem controversial. The incident happened and it was extraordinary. It was news.
But some readers have little tolerance for images depicting harm to people and animals.
Some think the animals should not have been killed. Some think the newspaper should not have published a photo of the event.
The newspaper's decision to print the photo should help readers decide whether they think police acted appropriately. It provides context.
The police chief told a reporter the decision was "the last resort."
The job of the press is not just to regurgitate the statements of officialdom. It is to inform readers and allow them to reach their own conclusions. Some wonder whether the police used all available means before euthanizing the animals. The debate is aided by the images more effectively than a story alone.

RALEIGH — A Maryland girl who was abducted and thought to be in North Carolina has been found in a South Carolina motel.

Do your bit to curb criminal behaviour in Swindon
5:29pm Friday 14th December 2012 in News By Scott D'Arcy
MORE volunteers are needed for a community justice pilot scheme as Swindon Council aims to extend it across the town.
Earlier this year Swindon was named as one of only 15 areas in the country to trial a new approach to tackling anti-social behaviour and low-level crime before it gets to the courts.
The Ministry of Justice introduced Neighbourhood Justice Panels, and the the town was the only area in the south outside London to put one to the test over 18 months.
Using principles of restorative justice, the panels, made up of at least three volunteers from the community, see offenders come face-to-face with their victims.
Among those who volunteered was Tony Packham, an aircraft engineer from Wroughton, who said he felt the panels made a difference in people's lives.
"It's been a real eye-opener for me and I think it really is putting something back into the community, rather than just sitting in the armchair and cursing the bad things that go on you can actually help the situation.
"One example I would use is a lad who was brought in for doing graffiti. He has a real talent for art but was doing it in the wrong place and so we sent him out to clean up with the anti-graffiti team but also organised for him to go art classes."
Simon Evans, the anti-social behaviour manager for Swindon Council, said: "We are delivering further training for Neighbourhood Justice Panels, as we are now looking for additional panel members to add to the fantastic start that has been made in Swindon.
"Much of this success has been down to the fantastic response from the community in volunteering the first time around, but now we need to add to the volunteer pool so we can expand the panels in to the wider community.
"Swindon's Panels have been a great success but we want to develop them further.
"We have dealt with street drinkers, neighbourhood disputes, and low level offending, the panels use restorative justice process to bring together offenders and victims, the result being a contract is developed that repairs the harm that has been done and puts in place provisions to stop further offending."
The training will take place on January 19 and 26 next year. Anyone interested should email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01793 466047,

Look in the mirror. Repeat this mantra: The fight to conserve energy and natural resources starts at home.
Following are some Conservation 101-type classroom tips that will help you reduce your carbon footprint and save money, many of the common-sense variety courtesy of John Schaefer, director of public works in the Village of Homewood:
1. Replace standard light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). The CFLs produce the same amount light, but use about one-quarter of the electricity and they last longer. This is simple and effective. How much difference will you notice?
According to studies, electric lighting consumes up to 25 percent of the average home energy budget. If you're going to be out of the room for more than 5 minutes, turn off the lights. Turn off appliances and the TV, too, when no one is watching. And don't forget about your phone charger.
"Even though they may not have anything hooked to it, that little transformer or charger—whatever is plugged into the wall—it is still drawing electric current," Schaefer said. "You need to unplug it when you're not using it."
2. Plant a tree. This will add beauty to your property, provide shade and help cut down on cooling costs during the warmer months. Regulate your thermostat and don't be afraid to adjust the settings. Let your home cool more during the winter months. Throw an extra blanket on your bed. Install an extra layer of insulation in the attic.
3. Switch to reduce-flow showerheads, take shorter showers and lower the temperature on your hot water heater. Consider replacing your old toilet with a new, low-flush model. Studies show older toilets use about 5-7 gallons of water with every flush. Check for leaks, too.
"The other thing about toilets and why they're known for increasing water bills is a lot of times the inside mechanics of the toilet—values, things like that—get old," Schaefer said. "You'll see them running. You just don't notice it until it gets pretty bad. You need to keep after things like that and watch to make sure everything is working properly."
4. Purchase a rain barrel and collect water to use on your plants and in your garden. Sweep the driveway clean instead of hosing it down.
5. If you have a small lawn, consider using a push mower to cut the grass instead of a gasoline mower. And, in the fall, exercise your mind and your body when picking up leaves by reaching for a rake instead of an electric- or gas-powered leaf blower.

I'm sure it's small consolation to suffering Bills fans. But while you're lamenting the team's wretched defensive numbers this season, you can take some comfort in the fact that there's actually someone worse.
The Bills are currently 31st in four major defensive categories in the latest NFL team statistics: Total defense (417.9 yards per game); yards per pass attempt (7.81); rushing yards allowed (169.5) and points allowed (30.13).
Thanks heavens for the Saints! New Orleans has given up a staggering 471.3 yards a game, well ahead of the standard for yardage allowed by the 1981 Colts (424.5 yards). The Saints are also last in yards per pass attempt against (8.24) and rushing yards allowed (176.5).
Somehow, the Saints have managed to allow only 229 points, tied for 28th. Tennessee has allowed the most points in the league with 308 in nine games. That's on pace to break the league record for points allowed. Those '81 Colts gave up 533 points.
The Bills, by the way, are on pace to break the team record for yards allowed (5,938), which they set a year ago. At their current rate, they would allow 6,686, shattering last year's mark. Good thing they paid all that money to Mario Williams.

Bruce Alberts, a prominent biochemist with a strong commitment to the improvement of science and mathematics education, served as Editor-in-Chief of Science (2009-2013) and as a United States Science Envoy (2009-2011). Alberts is also Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco, to which he returned after serving two six-year terms as the president of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).
During his tenure at the NAS, Alberts was instrumental in developing the landmark National Science Education standards that have been implemented in school systems nationwide. The type of science as inquiry teaching we need, says Alberts, emphasizes logical, hands-on problem solving, and it insists on having evidence for claims that can be confirmed by others. It requires work in cooperative groups, where those with different types of talents can discover them developing self confidence and an ability to communicate effectively with others.
Alberts is also noted as one of the original authors of The Molecular Biology of the Cell, a preeminent textbook in the field now in its fourth edition. For the period 2000 to 2009, he serves as the co-chair of the InterAcademy Council, a new organization in Amsterdam governed by the presidents of 15 national academies of sciences and established to provide scientific advice to the world.
Committed in his international work to the promotion of the creativity, openness and tolerance that are inherent to science, Alberts believes that scientists all around the world must now band together to help create more rational, scientifically-based societies that find dogmatism intolerable.
Widely recognized for his work in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology, Alberts has earned many honors and awards, including 16 honorary degrees. He currently serves on the advisory boards of more than 25 non-profit institutions, including the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

By Kim West
Dillon Miller topped 200 yards and rushed for five touchdowns as West Limestone clinched its third playoff berth in four seasons by beating Priceville in a crucial Class 4A, Region 8 matchup.
On a damp and chilly night at Bulldog Stadium, West Limestone (6-2, 4-2) held off a pesky Priceville squad, 47-33, and spoiled homecoming. The loss prevented the Bulldogs from contending for the fourth and final playoff spot in the region.
In a wild and sometimes sloppy game with five turnovers, 12 touchdowns and 16 penalties, the Wildcats wielded an overpowering running game led by Miller's 215 yards on 22 carries and Tucker McCormick's two scores and 186 yards on 23 carries.
Miller's blockers consistently opened up gaping holes at the line of scrimmage that allowed the bruising back plenty of steam to bulldoze into the Bullodogs' secondary. He proved to be an unstoppable force in the red zone by breaking tackles on a pair of 5-yard runs and an 8-yarder in the first half, and dashing 16 and 20 yards in the second half.
Tyler Mewbourn and Logan Pugh, who had two rushing scores called back due to penalties, also helped propel West's 497-yard, Wing-T rushing offense.
"Running the ball is what we're best at, and we just powered the ball downfield," said a jubilant Pugh, moments after he and his teammates sprinted to the visitor's bleachers for a raucous celebration with the marching band and a large contingent of 'Cats fans.
Priceville (4-4, 2-4), which intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble on defense, went to the air frequently to fuel its quick-strike offense, with quarterback Kaleb Barker and receiver Ben Patterson teaming up on touchdown connections of 71, 30 and 16 yards.
Patterson, who filled in at quarterback after Barker was shaken up on a drive midway through the third quarter, also had a 70-yard keeper by scooting around right end and picking up a downfield escort from offensive lineman Jaycee May.
Barker's ability to throw on the run, move around in the pocket and locate downfield receivers kept the Bulldogs within striking distance, despite trailing 25-14 at halftime and by 25 points late in the third.
Barker threw for 301 yards and four TDs, including an 18-yard scoring toss to Luke Mason. He completed 19 of 30 passes, with three interceptions corralled by West's Stevie Romero, McCormick and Pugh.
The Wildcats, which have won five straight, improved to 4-2 all-time against Priceville. West is the third team in Limestone County to qualify for the postseason. They joined Class 2A, Region 8 champion Tanner and 4A Ardmore, with Athens in the hunt for a No. 3 or No. 4 playoff seed in 5A, Region 8.
"Making the playoffs was our No. 1 goal, and it means everything to win tonight," said Pugh, one of 10 West seniors. "We believe in what we're doing, and we fought hard to make it back to the playoffs."
West hosts Haleyville (7-1, 5-1) on Friday in a game that will help determine how the region's four playoff teams — Brooks, Central-Florence, Haleyville and West — will be seeded in the playoffs.
Priceville plays at Central-Florence (6-2, 5-1) next Friday. Central, Brooks and Haleyville each have one region loss heading into Week 9.
1st quarter
5:15 — Tucker McCormick shed several tacklers en route to a 35-yard rushing TD, capping a 5-yard, 68-yard drive. Matthew Sanders converted the extra point for 7-0 West lead.
3:43 — Kaleb Barker rolls right and finds Luke Mason at the right pylon for an 18-yard TD. The Bulldogs cover 66 yards in five plays, with completions of 24 and 18 yards to set up score. Lamar Burch hits PAT to tie game at 7-7.
1:17 — On ensuing drive, West marches 61 yards in seven plays as Miller scores on a 5-yard run. Quarterback Drew Blakely kept the chains moving with a 30-yard pass to Stevie Romero and a 10-yard toss to Logan Pugh. West leads 13-7 after PAT sailed wide right.
2nd quarter
9:06 — West marches 62 yards in 10 plays, with Romero snagging an 18-yard catch on third-and-19 at the Wildcats' 44-yard line to keep the drive alive. Miller slams into a wall of tacklers near the goal line and pushes into the end zone for another 5-yard TD. The 2-point pass play failed, and West leads 19-7.
8:44 — On the first play of the ensuing drive, Barker fires a 71-yard bomb to Patterson, who got behind the secondary and sped down the left sideline. Burch's PAT cuts lead to 19-14.
:33 — After Pugh dodges and weaves for a 17-yard romp on second-and-8 at the Priceville 29, Miller rumbles in from 8 yards out. Following an incomplete 2-point pass, and West leads 25-14 after the six-play, 62-yard drive.
3rd quarter
10:07 — McCormick scores on a 7-yard run after Miller gives West good field position on a kickoff return to the Priceville 49. McCormick opens the drive with a 14-yard dash, with Blakely setting up the scoring play on second-and-6 by rolling right and finding McCormick for a 24-yard completion. The 2-point run fails, and West leads 31-14 after going 51 yards in four plays.
3:20 — Reed Blankenship's punt return gives West the ball at the Priceville 49. After Miller converts a fourth-and-1 at the Bulldogs' 35, he scores on third-and-4 at the 16. Tyler Mewbourn's 2-point run increases lead to 39-14 after seven-play, 49-yard drive.
2:55 — Priceville's Ben Patterson responds on the first play of ensuing drive with 70-yard keeper while standing in for Barker at quarterback. West blocks PAT, and Bulldogs trail 39-20.
:54 — Miller rings up 51 yards on first play of West's four-play, 80-yard drive, as Burch tracks down Miller and makes TD-saving tackle. But Miller finds pay dirt from 20 yards out on third-and-1, and McCormick converts 2-point run to lead 47-20.
:00 — Bulldogs answer with four-play, 59-yard drive as Barker goes 3 of 4 for 50 yards, including 30-yarder to Patterson. The 2-point run fails and Priceville trims deficit to 47-26.
4th quarter
10:51 — After Kyle Haynes grabs an interception, Priceville goes 50 yards in six plays to record the only score in the quarter. Barker runs for a first down and hits 3 of 5 passes for 39 yards, including 15-yard TD to Patterson. Burch's PAT makes it 47-33, but the Bulldogs are denied in their comeback attempt. West embarks on an 18-play drive that stalls at the Priceville 26, but takes nearly 10 minutes off the clock in the final frame.
