DA: McMurray man will not be charged in 2010 fatal crash
Adair Porter
A McMurray man will not be charged in connection with a four-vehicle crash in Peters Township that killed a Canonsburg teen in 2010 unless new evidence surfaces.
"Right now, the evidence that I've seen so far doesn't support criminal charges against the driver," Washington County District Attorney Gene Vittone said Feb. 12.
Vittone explained that evidence shows Thomas B. McNary of Boyer Road, who is diabetic, had suffered a medical condition brought on by low blood sugar when he crashed his sport utility vehicle into a car July 17, 2010, near the intersection of West McMurray Road and Route 19.
The impact caused a chain-reaction collision injuring seven people and resulting in the death of 18-year-old Adah "Adair" Porter.
The 2010 Canon-McMillan graduate was a passenger in a car driven by her fiancé, Teddy Mathis III of Canonsburg. Mathis was the last in a line of four eastbound vehicles that had stopped for a traffic signal when McNary, who was 54 years old at the time of the crash, struck his car in the rear.
After the crash, McNary, who was not injured, left the scene and continued across Route 19 to East McMurray Road, driving about a half-mile before striking the rear of a pickup truck. Police said he left his vehicle and continued to walk east before being apprehended.
First Assistant District Attorney Michael Lucas explained that prosecutors have been unable to determine whether McNary knew enough about his condition to have questioned if he should have been behind the wheel. He said his office could re-examine the matter within the five-year statute of limitation if a lead develops that runs contrary to the current evidence.
Porter's mother, Cynthia Porter Wright of South Park, said Feb. 12 that there are inconsistencies in McNary's statements to law enforcement. She said she feels that neither former District Attorney Steve Toprani nor Vittone had given the matter a thorough review.
"I didn't really feel like my daughter got a fair chance," Porter Wright said.
Mathis declined to comment when reached by phone.
While criminal charges have not arisen, the family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit claiming McNary was negligent in failing to monitor his blood-sugar level before operating a vehicle. The suit is seeking punitive and compensatory damages.

Bought for my table for a little extra comfort for my clients and best decision ever! Nothing but great things my clients have to say. Def worth it!
Just received mine in the mail and put it on the table and already I am happy. I have been wanting a cover for my table for a long time but was very hesitant about the fit. I didn't want something that would slide around the way the fitted sheets do. This cover has a very nice snug fit and I have a golden ratio table. I would recommend this product. I only gave it 4 stars because I haven't had a chance to see how it will perform and how my clients will respond to it. But for what I was looking for, a good snug fit, a solid 5 star.
love this fleece pad, really adds an extra layer of comfort, all my clients rave about how comfortable my tables are.
this was such a good investment! i'm still a student and my classmates really liked the comfort. even my practice clients in clinic notice the warmth, especially on a cold day.

Why Buy From Us
GSM Office Calculator; with live room audio monitoring and sound detection
This GSM Office Calculator is another audio surveillance device; a unique product which delivers advanced audio technology to compliment any room or office environment. Our GSM office calculator is completely undetectable even under close visual examination and can be used to operate as a fully functional desk style calculator. Simply dial the supplied SIM card hidden inside the rear compartment thus allowing you to listen to the surrounding sounds and conversations from approx 15 feet radius from where the base is placed.
We have also pushed the boundaries in which the mouse will function by sending you a text message upon sound detection meaning you will be alerted to noises within that environment thus saving valuable time and calling expense. The calculator will additionally also send you a text message if moved from its original position where you placed it meaning you know somebody is snooping around the area.
The GSM modem is also powered from an internal lithium battery should the mains supply be disconnected thus allowing you to still monitor the environment. You will also receive a 'low battery' text message notification when the unit requires a reconnection to the mains.
Please Note:
Audio devices that are not receiving full power directly from a mains electrical supply are subject to conditions that will reduce the overall operating and standby times. These include quality of battery, strength of the mobile operator network signal, distance to a GSM base station, interference from walls, metal grids and other radio interferences, temperature, humidity etc.

Glory Hole Fishing Report
Posted by: Andy_Johnson on 04/23/2014 10:02 AM
Angels Camp, CA ... Trout fishing in rivers and streams opens this next Saturday, April 26. Most of the local rivers and streams are at a very fishable water flow. Generally at beginning of trout season we have a lot of snow melt and run off making it harder to fish. Unfortunately this year we have had very little rain and snow but, the early season fishing should be better cause of it.
Fishing Report
Water Conditions: New Melones Lake is currently holding 984,966 acre-feet of water. The lake level dropped five feet this week and is currently at 940 ft. above sea level and 145 ft. from full. The water is slightly stained with some areas forming mud lines. The average water temperature is 62-68 degrees and rising daily. The boat launch ramps on the Glory Hole side have been moved back out to the end of the point which makes for a very short walk.
Bass: Good. The bass are in transition to and from shallow water. At this time of the year they are dawn to the shallows for the spawn. The lake level is falling at an exaggerated rate making the fish a bit leery. In the mornings and evening the bass have been moving closer to the shoreline to feed. Throughout the day try fishing main lake points near deeper water. The water is warming a bit each week and there has been a pretty decent reaction bite. Try using spinner baits, crank baits, and jerk baits to catch the more aggressive fish. Then slow down and fish a jig, Carolina rig, or Senko to catch fish that aren't willing to chase.
Andrew Beard caught a nice 6-pound bass on a pumpkin Senko rigged Texas style near Glory Hole.
Trout: Slow. The trout has been tough and very few fish are being caught. The lake level is dropping and the water temperature is warming. This will push the trout from the shallows out to deeper/cooler water. Try to find areas with clearer water that are protected from the wind and have deep water access. Bank fishing has been tough with most of the trout moving away from the shoreline. If you do choose to fish for trout from the shore, try fishing near Glory Hole Point and near the 49-bridge because the main river channel and cooler water is close. For bait try nightcrawlers, or chartreuse or rainbow garlic scented Power Bait. Trolling anglers have been catching a few fish while trolling over deep water on the main lake. To target these fish try using downriggers or leadcore line, 30-60' deep over 150-200' of water. The fish are relating to the old river channel and deep water. They will be in cooler water areas during the hotter summer months. Brighter colored baits have been working best. Orange, chartreuse and firetiger will work for browns and rainbows. When fishing the main lake and deep water it is a good idea to have a couple lines out that are targeting brown trout. There have been many really nice browns caught and released in the last few weeks. Try rolling shad or trolling large jointed plugs or swim baits. A good area for browns is out in front of the dam/spillway area or between the bridges. It is also a good idea to add plenty of scent and remember to reapply throughout the day. We do encourage catch and release for the brown trout as The Department of Fish and Game will no longer be planting them. Carefully measure, weigh and photograph trophy fish and send us pictures and information.
Keith Misclone of Atwater caught four chunky kokanee while trolling near Rose Island.
Kokanee: Fair. The fish are starting to school up making them easier to find and catch. We have had reports of multiple limits being caught. Some of the kokanee seem to be a decent size for this time of the year, and they have months left to grow. Pink is always a great color for dodgers and baits, with orange and green producing fish as well. It is a good idea to troll various sizes, colors, baits and blade combinations. The fish will favor certain rigs, and it can be a process of elimination to find what appeals to them throughout the day. Be sure to tip your baits with dyed and scented corn or Gulp Maggots. Also apply scent to you blades and lures, and continue to reapply multiple times on each outing. Garlic, carp spit, kokanne special, and bloody tuna are all good flavors to use.
Bob James of Murphys caught a nice limit of kokanee trolling Glitter Bugs pink micro hoochies on the main lake.
Blake Osgood and his father and friend (not pictured) caught six kokanee near Coyote Creek using pink hoochies and copper blades.
Catfish: Fair. The big cats should be up and eager to feed in preparation for the spawn. The water temperature is getting warmer each day which will encourage the cats to move shallow. Try using frozen shad or a ball of crawlers to target these fish. Catfish are drawn to bait by scent so it is a good idea to add additional scent to your bait.
Glory Hole Sports Big Fish of the Week Contest goes to Doug Chew, and Luke and William Lum. They landed a massive 13-pound catfish while fishing with a white and chartreuse spinner bait.
Crappie: Fair. The crappie bite is getting better each week and we are hearing of more being caught each day. We expect a fairly good bite this spring due to the lower water levels and the amount of standing timber. Try fishing with mini jigs and grubs under a slip-float. Also, a great way to catch them is with live minnows. The crappie that are being caught are chunky 1-2 pound slabs.
Please practice catch and release during the spring months. The fish are full of eggs in preparation for the spawn. Take photos and carefully release the fish back into to the lake to maintain a healthy fish population for generations to come.

Sonora Regional Medical Center Names MAKOplasty® Robot
Posted by: Andy_Johnson on 04/22/2014 01:20 PM
Sonora, CA ...The Center for Joint Replacement and its panel of orthopedic surgeons have selected the name MaRIO as the winning entry for the MAKOplasty® robot. Sonora Regional Medical Center employee Poline King submitted the winning name. The assembly of surgeons received over 170 suggestions over the course of five weeks. The name is based on the highly advanced, surgeon-controlled robotic arm system, RIO®, used to perform MAKOplasty® procedures. The RIO® system enables the surgeon to complete a patient specific pre-surgical plan using a CT scan of the patient's knee. During the procedure, the system creates a three-dimensional, virtual view of the patient's bone surface and correlates the image to the pre-programmed surgical plan. As the surgeon uses the robotic arm, the RIO® system provides tactile, auditory and visual feedback, limiting the bone preparation to just the diseased areas. This process helps preserve more of the patient's knee while providing optimal positioning of the implant.

Sheriff Gary Kuntz "Why I'm Running For Re-Election
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/08/2014 01:01 PM
Calaveras County, CA...When I ran for Sheriff four years ago, law enforcement in Calaveras County faced some real challenges. I believed then that my 24-year career in Calaveras County law enforcement made me the best candidate to confront those challenges, and I asked for your vote. I sincerely appreciate the trust placed in me by the voters. Back then I pledged to fight for public safety. I pledged to put emphasis back on community policing. I pledged to help get the jail project back on track, and to restore trust in the Sheriff's office. Today, working together, we have made real progress on all these fronts.

The other day I slightly modified our usual no-cook play dough recipe and it turned out to be the best ever! It's softer, smoother and doesn't start to dry out even if it's played with all day. This is my new go-to recipe and I just had to share it!
I also realised that, even though I have about a million-and-one play dough recipes and ideas on this site, I don't have a post simply dedicated to how to make the stuff! So here it is.
If you have never tried making your own play dough, this is the time to give it a try. It's very different to store bought play dough, being much softer and lasting a whole lot longer.
The benefits of using play dough for young children are wonderful and the play possibilities are endless!
You need:
- 2 cups plain flour (all purpose)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup salt
- 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
- Up to 1.5 cups boiling water (adding in increments until it feels just right)
- food colouring (optional)
- few drops glycerine (optional- adds more shine!)
- Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl
- Add the boiling water
- Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough
- Add the food colouring and glycerine (both optional)
- Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone. * This is the most important part of the process, so keep at it until it's the perfect consistency!*
- (If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until just right)
You can store this play dough in an air tight container for at least 6 months. If you live in a humid climate you might need to store it in the fridge and out of sunlight.
How here are over 50+ ways to change this basic mix to create an amazing range of different play dough flavours and fun activities to go with them! Literacy, maths, imaginative play and role play to name just a few.
Click through to find your favourites and pin them for future use.
And here are 10 beautiful, natural play dough recipes for you to try too!

Corporate Philanthropy & Employee Giving
Through our online Community Grants program, we give up to $5,000 per year to organizations and programs dedicated to our priority giving areas. We look for opportunities that demonstrate a strong commitment to diversity and meeting the needs of underserved communities. We also sponsor select educational conferences, charitable events, and events focused on these priority areas.
In 2012, we gave over $19 million to 1,330 nonprofits across central, coastal, and Southern California.
See the 2012 Edison International Community Giving Report (pdf).

We do not accept unsolicited grant requests outside of our Community Grants program. Learn more at our Grants Support Center.
About Our Giving
Our contributions are paid for by shareholders of our parent company, Edison International, and not by utility customers.
Four Priority Giving Areas
Education is an important source of power and advancement for young people, and it helps strengthen our communities. For many years we have focused on programs that help minority, low-income, and underrepresented students pursue studies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Recognizing the clear connection between the arts and development of critical-thinking skills, we recently added arts education as an additional focus area.
Edison Scholars Endowment at CSULA
Through our $1 million Edison Scholars endowment at California State University, Los Angeles, students are awarded scholarship support for a full year's tuition. The endowment gift created a stable base and support for CSULA Honors College students in perpetuity.
Ongoing Support for Education
Last year, we gave $10.8 million in philanthropic support for educational programs. Since 2009, we have given more than $34 million to education programs that help make the dream of college education a reality.
We care about the people in our communities and the wellbeing of our environment. As part of our everyday operations and in our philanthropy, we support habitat and wildlife protection, energy conservation, and cleaner energy. In 2012, we gave $2.7 million to programs that promote and encourage environmental sustainability.
Here in Southern California, we are prone to earthquakes and other natural disasters. We believe safety comes first, and it's always important to be prepared. To help the community be ready for any emergency, we joined forces with the American Red Cross to encourage everyone to Get a Kit, Make a Plan, and Be Informed.
Our employees are participating in preparedness education and training to play a role in recovery efforts following any large-scale natural disaster, and they're raising funds to support disaster-relief efforts too. In 2012, our employees raised more than $140,000 in disaster-relief funds.
People and communities matter, and we're committed to helping address unmet needs around us. In 2012, Edison International shareholders contributed $19.2 million, with 86% targeted to underserved communities with 69% of that benefitting diverse ethnic groups.
Supporting schools, colleges, and universities helps communities too. Last year, employees donated $1.2 million to these educational institutions, and we doubled the impact by matching their contributions dollar for dollar.
Our Impact on Local Communities
Over the past four years, we have provided $68 million in funding to positively affect the lives of people in the communities we serve.
Learn how our contributions made a difference.
Our recent funding includes:
- $51 million committed to strengthen underserved populations
- $34.3 million to empower students, teachers, and communities through education
- $16.6 million donated by our employees to revitalize schools and community-based organizations
- $9.1 million to promote environmental responsibility in our communities
- 4,500 computers donated to help bridge the technology gap in our communities
About Our Giving
Our contributions are paid for by shareholders of our parent company, Edison International, and not by utility customers.
Employee Giving
Through our annual campaign and other employee-led efforts, our employees support causes that benefit young, elderly, disabled, and low-income people in local communities. In 2012, they raised more than $3.9 million in charitable contributions to benefit thousands of nonprofit partners; and also raised more than $140,000 for disaster relief efforts.
Employee Volunteering
Giving back also includes volunteering, and last year our employees and retirees gave 239,000+ hours to help build and unite the communities where they live and work. Our parent company, Edison International, recognizes their commitment to volunteering with incentives such as donations to the nonprofits of their choice.

The L.A. Dodgers have a long standing rivalry with the San Francisco Giants that dates back to when both teams were based out of New York. Unlike other rivalries in the MLB, the Dodgers-Giants have always had a constant balance of successfulness as a team. Both teams have won six World Series. The Dodgers had their most recent win last back in 1988 against Oakland Athletics. Another big rivalry for the Los Angeles Dodgers is against the New York Yankees. The teams have played against each other in the World Series eleven times!

WACO, Texas (AP) - Police say a sleeping baby boy has been shot in the head and a man wounded during drive-by gunfire in a Central Texas neighborhood.
Waco police say nobody has been arrested over the shootings early Wednesday that left several bullet holes in a house. Police are trying to determine what prompted the gunfire.
Police say 7-month-old Dmar Caufield is hospitalized in critical condition and facing surgery. The baby was taken to a Waco hospital then flown to Scott & White Hospital in Temple.
Investigators say 38-year-old Craig Mays suffered shrapnel wounds to his arm. Mays was treated and released in Waco.
Police say the baby's parents and two other children in the home were not hurt.
Authorities did not immediately say why Mays was staying with the family.

If you thought you could take a breather from the holidays, think again. With Thanksgiving over and Christmas still a few weeks away, plenty of people are taking a break before getting out to do holiday shopping.
However ShopperTrak, a firm that measures foot traffic in retail stores, has figured out the most stress-free days to hit the mall. If you hate crowds as much as we do, here's a little piece of advice: Go now.
ShopperTrak created a list of 10 distinct days where crowds were likely to be manageable, and while a few of those days are already behind us, there are still several opportunities ahead.
And here are the ten lightest shopping days, ranked from least to most retail foot traffic:
1. Nov. 27 - Tuesday
2. Nov. 26 - Monday
3. Nov. 28 - Wednesday
4. Dec. 4 - Tuesday
5. Nov. 29 - Thursday
6. Dec. 3 - Monday
7. Dec. 5 - Wednesday
8. Dec. 6 - Thursday

ShopperTrak founder Bill Martin stated that Black Friday is not for the faint of heart. Shoppers must brave the crowds to take advantage of good deals. If they can venture back out after just a few days, however, theyll have the full attention of store employees and plenty of remaining discounts.
So do yourself a solid and take care of business on one of the days marked in the calendar. You'll thank yourself on Christmas Eve when you're leaning back getting blitzed on egg nog, satisfied that all your gifts are already beneath the tree.

BP Board Out of Control
As month after month goes by, I read and hear story after story of how the Bethel Park School Board continues to erode this once great community.
While the new high school is a crowning achievement, I can't help but wonder, at what cost? Apparently at ALL COST.
Ever since the doors of that school opened, all that comes from the school board is cut cost.
I wonder every day, did they fall for the "age old" car salesman's question, "Tell me what you want your payment to be?" Were they in the market for a reliable family sedan and seduced into buying the shiny Corvette?
Oh sure, it looks great sitting in the garage, but when the little boy asks Dad to take it out for a spin, the answer is always, "Sorry son, I can't afford the gas." Case in point, it's now three years since the fine educators have been given a contract. Great school, too bad you won't put the necessary resources into play to make it run. It's not the educators who are unwilling to negotiate, it's this board and their excuses month after month.
When the wife asks to take the 'Vette out to dinner, the response is always, "Sorry honey, can't afford the insurance." Case in point, our fine board now want's to put our most valuable resource, THE CHILDREN, in the hands of a third party vendor to transport them back and forth to school. Do we really want our kids riding in vehicles that who knows when they were maintained, or being driven by people we know nothing about?
But boy that 'Vette looks great in the garage.
Our fine board just recently pushed (I stress the word pushed) through the motion that physical education is now an elective in order to cut the required number of credits (and costs). So in a time when childhood diabetes is at an all time high, and kids would rather sit and play video games all day, they cut the one possible opportunity for physical activity out of the curriculum..
Again, that car looks great in the garage.
If this board is looking to leave a legacy, they are well on their way. Unfortunately for this community, that legacy is deception, destruction, and dissension. We are well on our way to becoming a below average community where educators nor families will want to move.
But hey, at least that Corvette looks great in the garage!
I urge the fine residents and parents to start attending school board meetings. See what these folks are up to. Let them know you'd like to take the car for a ride with the resources required to make it run correctly. It won't be long before this community won't be able to recover from their actions.

19th-century weathered and charming Burmese Hongsa bird.
Gail DeLoach caught the design and collecting bug in Asia, during shopping trips for her LA store, Asiaphile. Her signature clean, distinctive style, seen in her elegant bath and spa collections, also reflects her eye for eccentric decorative items, primitive art, and natural curiosities. Gail still spends much of her time in Thailand and Burma scouring local markets for exceptional vintage finds, like the ones in our sale.
