'We would be lost without him,' says school principal of East Falls crossing guard
Last month, NewsWorks asked readers to nominate their favorite crossing guards in Northwest Philadelphia. We received six submissions from the public and got clearance to cover five of the nominees (one person did not return our call). These crossing guard stories will run from Dec. 31 through the first week of January.
When Larry Abney stopped working as a press operator at the Budd Co. plant nearly a decade ago, he quickly learned one important thing about retirement: It's boring.
So, the 60-year-old Northwest Philadelphian decided to do what he noticed a former co-worker doing at intersection a year or so later: He applied to become a city crossing guard.
Abney's application was accepted and, after completing training, he was assigned to the crosswalk leading across Midvale Avenue to the East Falls building formerly know as Saint Bridget School in 2004.
He wouldn't be there long.
After six months on the post, Abney's peer a quarter mile up the hill was venturing off into a retirement of her own. He then successfully requested a transfer to the intersection of Midvale Avenue, Conrad Street and Warden Drive.
"I didn't know how busy it was up here until then," he recounted between trips into the middle of a busy morning-rush street with a stop sign in his hand, a cap on his head, a bright vest on his chest and a wide smile on his face.
The Thomas Mifflin School crossing guard has become the type of neighborhood mainstay and protector of children from often-distracted, speeding drivers.
When NewsWorks' set out to find Northwest Philly's favorite crossing guards, the first nomination was for Mr. Larry. So was the second. There would be more, too.
School principal Leslie Mason summed up parent, and community, sentiment in her nomination.
"He will stay late rather than let a child wait alone for a bus or a parent," she wrote. "He cares very much for every child and will contact the school immediately if he senses a problem.
"He is a valued member of our school community and we would be lost without him. He never misses a day!"
A "pretty dangerous" corner
Watching Abney work, one gets the sense of a protective grandfather, a role he was prepared to fill thanks to nine grandchildren from his four kids.
He works at a truly busy intersection, with Henry Ave. commuters zipping down Warden and Midvale, sometimes with reckless abandon.
"When I started here, they didn't want to stop for you to cross the kids," Abney said. "If you have to be at work at 8, why do you leave at 5 of?"
Drivers not wanting to stop are less of a problem today. People with one hand on the steering wheel and another (with their eyes) on their mobile phone are.
"One time, a lady pulled up and I noticed she was trying to feed her child cereal. The child was in the back seat," he said. "You have to take the bitter with the sweet. There have been quite a few close calls. They just have to play closer attention."
But, Abney's smiling, waving, interactive presence serves to positively distract those distracted drivers. No children have been struck on his watch.
What they're saying about Mr. Larry
Respect and appreciation are the common threads in the words of parents and passersby who sometimes try in vain to have Abney defy the rules about accepting gifts like coffee or hot chocolate. ("No coffee, no chewing gum out on the corner," he explained.)
"A smile and a wave everyday, and always concerned about the students' safety," said Tracy McDonald, whose son used to attend Saint Bridget's but now goes to Mifflin. "I used to drive by in a yellow truck and he'd always wave in the morning. When we got a new car, I guess he didn't recognize it instantly so when I waved, he didn't notice me. That was sad."
Samuel Morgan saw Abney though another lens: A crossing guard who offers words of encouragement to a single father.
"He's amazing. He really cares for the children," he said. On the days he can't walk his son a block or two to school, "I know he's there, so I know my son will be safe."
For his part, Roger Hill, a parent of three Mifflin students who volunteers at the school, noted that both "Mr. Larry and Miss Barbara," who crosses children two blocks away at Conrad and West Queen Lane, "are both great people."
Even people who sometimes have to wait a few extra seconds on their commute hold Abney in high regard.
"He's the best. Stopping cars, keeping the children safe. He always smiles. The children respect him. I respect him. That's what it's all about," said Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers.
Ayers drove past the intersection just a few minutes after the former First Lady of Pennsylvania and current U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Midge Rendell had to wait for children to cross while being told to "Keep it moving, and have a good day!"
Because of Abney, students, parents, neighbors and commuters do.

There has been a significant increase in the volume of new homes in Scotland, new data reveals.
Official figures provided by the Scottish government show that 15,957 new homes were delivered in Scotland in the year to March 2014, compared to 14,895 in the previous year. This is the first rise since 2007-08.
A breakdown of the figures reveal that private sector-led new build completions rose by 9% on the previous year, to 10,686 new homes.
The latest statistics suggest that the Scottish government remains on track to deliver on its target of 30,000 new affordable homes by 2016.
A total of 6,850 affordable homes were completed through the Affordable Housing Supply Programme in the year to June 2014, up 9% year-on-year. Approvals were up 25% to 7,067, while housing starts were up 55% at 6,530.
"It is encouraging to see that the number of new homes in Scotland has risen in the last year, driven in large part by an increase in the number of private sector completions," said housing minister Margaret Burgess.
She continued: "This is the first annual increase since before the recession, reflecting the growing confidence within the housing market, which the Scottish government has helped to stimulate through investment in initiatives designed to support the sector, and help people into home ownership."
Nonetheless, Burgess acknowledged that new housing supply in Scotland remains well below pre-recession levels and that the housebuilding industry continues to face a number of challenges.
"We are committed to working with organisations across the housing sector to address these, and work towards the shared goal of securing a sustained increase in housing supply," she added.
Burgess continued: "While we are making progress, the powers of independence would provide full flexibility over budgets, investment and innovative financing, allowing us to do even more to support the supply of new homes."

Mr. Burton Woody who accompanied Fred Hawkins to visit
this cemetery in 1987 told him the following story. "At the end of the Civil War, Abner Brooks II called his
former slaves together. He told them that they were now free and could go wherever
they pleased and carry on their lives
as they wished. He then called one of them,
Nelson Brooks, aside and told
that should
he Nelson want to remain on
the place, he would give
him 35 acres of land in recognition of
his long and
loyal service to the Brooks family.
Nelson accepted this offer and lived nearby for the remainder of
his life."
The below listed Nelson Brooks cemetery was located by Wayne Austin 8 Apr 2009 and is shown here. It is located correctly by the USGS Geological Services. The USGS has no records of the (white) Abner II Brooks Cemetery nearby. Consequently it was not found by Wayne Austin, but is added here in hopes someone will step forward and send in the information & photos after locating this cemetery.

With over $600,000 available for recreational uses in the community, the Parks and Recreation Subcommittee of the Ramona Community Planning Group is seeking projects to consider at its July 22 meeting and plans to create a priority list in August.
"I want to keep this thing moving," Subcommittee Chair Jim Cooper said at the group's May 20 meeting.
The county's Park Lands Dedication Ordinance (PLDO) funds for Ramona comes from park fees that are collected when building permits are issued. As of Jan. 31, the funds totaled $631,060 and can only be used for parkland acquisition and development in Ramona primarily for active recreational uses.
Examples of such uses are sports fields, court games, swimming pools, children's play areas, recreation buildings and picnic areas. Among items considered ineligible for PLDO funds are preservation of open space and acquisition of nature study areas, golf courses, riding and hiking trails, and water courses.
The subcommittee approved a project request form for PLDO funds that Cooper presented. The five-page form for applicants to complete asks for a proposed project's description; details, such as who it will serve, if it will generate revenue, and whether permits or environmental documents will be needed; and estimated costs. Cooper has suggested that each project have a person identified as its "champion."
Cooper said he is still working on an avenue for the form to be easily accessible to the community.
One item that has been on the priority list is a skatepark for which $90,000 is earmarked. The Arriba Skatepark Committee would like to build a site for skateboarders within the area designated for the Ramona Intergenerational Community Campus (RICC) on Main Street between 12th and 13th streets. Nancy Roy, who is on the skatepark committee, said she met with RICC committee May 16.
"We found there were no obstacles in our path from moving forward," she said, adding that the group hopes to meet with Tom Fincher with the county's General Services Department about the proposed skatepark.
Resident Steve Powell told the subcommittee about an idea to improve the pool area at Ramona High School, noting that in addition to high school swim sports, the pool serves the community in the summer and is used for swim lessons.
"It really is more than just a pool for the high school," he said.
Powell said Granite Hills High School in El Cajon is an older school like Ramona High but recently built an aquatic center that he said is "off the charts." Powell, whose son, Brandon, is on the RHS swim team, was at Granite Hills aquatic center when it hosted the CIF swim finals.
Ramona High's pool is old, he said, and there are maintenance and logistical issues.
"We need a responsible pool that's safe," said Powell.
He added that it could generate revenue that could be poured into updating other buildings on campus.
Cooper said $250,000 of PLDO funds has been earmarked for an athletic complex at Ramona High School, which is priority No. 2 by the planning group; however, there have been obstacles. The 40 acres of school district property behind Ramona High include 17 acres dedicated to vernal pools, which has stymied the project, according to the subcommittee.
Cooper questioned if the community would instead support aquatic improvements. Powell said he plans to meet with the architect who works with the school district in early June. He told the
that his idea is "very preliminary in nature."
Resident Ken Brennecke gave an informational presentation on his plans to create a world-class botanical garden and supporting research facility. A trustee of San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas and a founder of the American Bamboo Society, Brennecke said he bought his property at Boundary Avenue and Ramona Street in 1981 because he considered it the best site for a botanical garden within 50 miles, due to such factors such as elevation and water availability.
Brennecke said he has already begun planting. Long range plans call for public access to established walkways, germplasm exchanges, a tissue culture lab and a herbarium.

forcing traffic through certain route(forcing source ip)
I have a box with two nics one has a public ip and the other has a private ip. The public ip is used only for forwarding and has routes setup to the internet. The private ip is used for management and has routes setup to the internet
Basically, I want the routes to work in such a way that any traffic the box generates goes through the private network to reach the internet.
I tried setting up a separate table for the private nic and routing all traffic with the private source ip through that table. However, linux always seems to choose the public ip for the source ip. How can I force linux by default to pick a certain source ip over another?
If I type "ping google.com" into the box, linux chooses the public ip as the source address. I want it to choose the private ip.
sorry misread your question

President Obama vs. Matt Damon — Who Has Bigger Cajones?
Did anyone get the impression from the new Elle magazine that Matt Damon might want someone to challenge President Obama on the Democratic side in 2012? . The 'We Bought A Zoo' star says he would have rather had "a one-term President with some balls who actually got stuff done." (No, why would anyone think Damon actually has a problem with the President?)

Did Ex-Weezer Bassist Mikey Welsh Predict His Own Death on Twitter?
We predict this is one of the oddest stories you'll see all week: Ex-Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh was found dead in a hotel room last week, and in a strange twist, he might have actually predicted the date and locations of his demise on Twitter just a couple of weeks earlier.
On September 26, the 40-year-old artist posted the tweet below, saying, "dreamt i died in Chicago next weekend (heart attack in my sleep). need to write my will today." He even corrected himself in a tweet a little later, saying his vision was actually of the weekend after next. He was found dead on Saturday, October 8 in Chicago.

Eddie Murphy hasn't been on 'Saturday Night Live' since 1984, and he hasn't even participated in the various reunion shows that have happened in the years since he left the show. But he could show up this weekend.
Murphy's co-star in the new movie 'Tower Heist' is Ben Stiller, who just so happens to be hosting this weekend's 'SNL.' Rumors have begun to circulate that Murphy will finally make a cameo appearance on the show.

A Cafe Bites Nibble
Johnny Chang has been in the food business for more than 30 years. He owns one of Houston's top sushi restaurants, Miyako, and now is trying his hand at "selling sushi to the Spanish community," as he says, with his new concept called El Pacifico (5800 Bellaire, 713-218-0701), right in the heart of one of Houston's Hispanic areas. "We noticed that at Miyako, at least 15 percent of our customers were Hispanic, so we think there's a market for this. We also have a huge-screen TV, where we will be broadcasting lots of sports like soccer and boxing, and we'll have live music on weekends, like a salsa band one night and mariachis the next night. And since the restaurant is huge, there's plenty of room for customers to dance."
At El Pacifico, Chang is making fusion cuisine such as his "Chino Empanada," pork and scallions in Hoisin sauce wrapped in Chinese dough, and his "Taco Tako," which he explains this way: "'Tako' is Japanese for octopus, and we serve it like ceviche, with avocado and pico de gallo and a seaweed salad in a crunchy taco." Café Bites sampled the crunchy rolls covered in tempura, which were as good as any sushi served at Miyako. This was followed by "Empanadas Fusion," fish-stuffed dumplings in ajillo sauce, and the "Pacifico Special Cocktail," full of shrimp, oysters, octopus and fish in a tomato cocktail sauce served with a seaweed salad. All the food was extremely fresh, and the flavors formed from the fusion of Mexican, Chinese and Japanese cuisines was irresistible.

- "The Taste" was up over its season 1 finale by 34% in Total Viewers and 8% in Adults 18-49 (3.5 million and 1.2/3 on 3/12/13), outdrawing the final 3 telecasts of its first season – best since 2/19/13. Please note: "The Taste" debuted last year in late-January with higher overall viewing levels on Tuesday night against repeat competition on CBS.
"The Assets" (10:00-11:00 p.m. – 3.8 million and 0.7/2 in AD18-49):
Part 1 of an 8-part mini-series, ABC's "The Assets" nearly tied NBC's time-period established "Parenthood" in the 10:00 p.m. hour, pacing within just 200,000 Viewers (3.8 million vs. 4.0 million).
With repeats from 8:00-10:00 p.m. ("Last Man Standing"/"Last Man Standing"/"Shark Tank") and "20/20" at 10:00 p.m. against Fox's Cotton Bowl coverage on Friday, ABC tied NBC's all original line-up in Adults 18-49 for the non-sports lead (1.3/4). ABC's "20/20" was the No. 1 series of the night in Adults 18-49 (1.5/4 – tie).

At 9:00 p.m., "Shark Tank" posted a season-high repeat performance in Adults 18-49. ABC's encore "Shark Tank" virtually tied NBC's first-run "Grimm" as the No. 1 series in the hour among Adults 18-49 (pacing within 1-tenth of a rating point and tied in audience share – 1.4/4 vs. 1.5/4).
"20/20" (10:01-11:00 p.m. – 6.1 million and 1.5/4 in AD18-49):
ABC's "20/20" finished as the No. 1 regular show in the 10 o'clock hour in the key Adults 25-54 news demo, outdelivering NBC's "Dracula" by 82% (2.0/5 vs. 1.1/3). In addition, the ABC newsmagazine dominated the NBC drama by 110% in Total Viewers (6.1 million vs. 2.9 million) and by 67% in Adults 18-49 (1.5/4 vs. 0.9/3). "20/20" reported on people involved in elaborate lies.
- "20/20" was up week to week in Total Viewers (+11%), Adults 18-49 (+36%) and Adults 25-54 (+25%), hitting 6-week highs on all three measures – since 11/22/13.
"America's Funniest Home Videos" (7:00-8:00 p.m. – 6.8 million and 1.6/4 in AD18-49):
In the 7 o'clock hour, opposite Fox's huge San Francisco-Green Bay NFL playoffs overrun, ABC's "America's Funniest Home Videos" (1.6/4) was the No. 1 non-sports program in its hour in Adults 18-49, beating CBS' "60 Minutes" (1.3/3) and NBC's "Dateline" (1.0/2).
- "AFHV" was up 14% from its last original to deliver a new season-high in Adults 18-49 and surged 33% in Adults 18-34 to its best number in nearly 1 year – since 2/10/13.
"The Bachelor: Countdown to Juan Pablo" (8:00-9:00 p.m. – 6.4 million and 1.8/4 in AD18-49):
At 8:00 p.m., ABC's lead-up special to tonight's season premiere, "The Bachelor: Countdown to Juan Pablo" (1.8/4) built on its Adult 18-49 lead-in by 13% to earn second among the broadcasters in its hour to Fox's NFL-fueled animated comedies. ABC's "The Bachelor" special was Sunday's most social non-sports program with 152,848 tweets.
"Revenge" (9:00-10:01 p.m. – 6.8 million and 1.8/4 in AD18-49):
During the 9 o'clock hour, ABC's "Revenge" returned up from its last telecast by 10% in viewers and by 20% in Adults 18-49 to post 13-week highs on both measures – since 10/6/13. In addition, the ABC drama equaled a best-since-premiere number in Adults 18-34 (1.4/4).

A crazed fan tried to attack Randy Orton earlier today at the WWE live event in Cape Town, South Africa.
Following Randy Orton's victory over Big E Langston, a fan jumped the railing and hit Orton on the back. Orton turned around and kicked the fan. Security rushed to the ring to drag the fan out of the ring. While this was going on Orton gave the fan the middle finger.
Reports are also indicating that the fan may of tried to attack Big E at ringside. Orton looked pretty upset with the security for not doing their job properly and keeping fans behind the railing.

Foster a Golden
Thank you for your interest in providing a foster home for one of our Goldens. We are so grateful for people who are willing to share their time, love and home with a rescued Golden Retriever. Fostering a dog for a rescue organization is a unique experience: sometimes absolutely beautiful, sometimes ho-hum and sometimes difficult. Very special families are needed to take on this task.
The main purpose of putting a rescue dog in a home situation is to learn about the dog's true personality so the rescue can make the best possible placement for each dog. Each of our Goldens will come into rescue because of some trauma in their lives. With this in mind, Forever Friends needs to learn about your family, your lifestyle and your personal preferences so we will be able to pair you with the right foster dog.
FGGR Rescue will foster and/or adopt to homes in the Ventura and Santa Barbara County area or where a registered volunteer is located. A volunteer will conduct a Family Visit to meet the family and review the information provided on the Foster Application form.
All Goldens are neutered/spayed, microchipped, current on shots and vet checked prior to being placed in adoptive homes. We will provide all medical records and evaluation information that is available to us. We ask that the foster continue to provide us with feedback on the foster dog's behavior and characteristics.
To begin the foster process, please complete the online application at the link below. Please tell us about your previous pet experiences, your past experiences with rescue animals and your family needs. When your application is received by our staff, it will be reviewed and forwarded to the Foster Coordinator. She will contact you to discuss our Rescue and to schedule a personal visit to meet you and your family at your home.
We do not share your personal information with any other agency, group or individuals.
If you are ready to proceed, click on the Foster Application button below to access our foster questionnaire.

Here's the short version. If anyone has an inkling on what might be the issue, I'm happy to provide more details about hardware/software, etc.
I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64 with 4gb of RAM installed. However, my BIOS is only reporting 2gb. Windows Task Manager shows 2gb available, and Resource Monitor shows 2gb total, 3gb installed.
Where it gets interesting, though is: everything else (CPU-Z, AMD Overdrive, etc.) shows that they DO IN FACT see the two sticks of 2gb ram. I've done all the basic stuff (memtest shows both sticks as functional, "maximum memory" is not checked in msconfig) but for the life of me, I can't get my BIOS (and, by extension, Windows 7) to recognize the second stick of RAM.
My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-880GM-D2H. Again, I can provide any other technical information that might be helpful.
Is this a new thing, was it showing the full 4 before, or have you done a new setup and it's now showing 2/3?
I'd try seeing what another OS sees using a live-cd, or memtest86. Perhaps try booting off one stick or the other, different slots. I had a 'fun' error while trying to diagnose my PSU when I knocked one of my RAM sticks slightly out of the socket, which threw me for a while.
PSU died and mb is acting funny? Unfortunately that is a bad sign.
Have you reset the mb by taking out the CMOS battery (waiting, then putting it back in)?
You know what I would bet might be the problem? Incompatible sticks.
Did you buy them as a matched pair? Are their timings and whatnot all identical? Are they identical manufacturers? etc. etc.
If you never saw that the system always detected 4GB RAM then I guess we can't assume that it ever did...

When you think of going on holiday with the kids, the last thing you expect to be able to do is pack light, if it is not multiple changes of clothes to accommodate ice cream spills and sun cream smears, its games, books and toys to keep them occupied while on the go!
However, we have come up with some simple tips to help you save space (and your back), and help you to pack light on your next holiday!
Roll your clothes: At first, it may feel wrong to start rolling your freshly ironed clothes but it is a foolproof way to save space in your case and it prevents creasing! Win –win!
Plan your (and the kids') wardrobe: Before you pack anything, lay it all out and work out what goes with what, while you'll probably need a clean t-shirt every day you can usually get two days wear from shorts, so match two t-shirts to every one pair of shorts. Take sandals that look great on a night out when teamed with a maxi-dress and that go with shorts on the beach. We like Truffle silver sparkly diamante sandals (£16.99), the flattering silver colour looks great against all skin tones and the diamante panel is perfect for adding some summer glitz.
Get the kids involved: If your children are still very young you will still need to take things such as a buggy and car seat, if they are a bit older get them involved by telling them they can pack a backpack each with books, toys and games for the journey. Be tough, if it does not fit in the bag or if they cannot lift the bag once packed, then it doesn't go! When it comes to holidays and kids, they just love to play, so pack versatile footwear such as our boys' Thomas the Tank Engine moulded clogs (£9.99) or our girls flower detail flip-flops (£3.99), which are easy to slip on and off and keep their feet protected.
Know your destination: Do a little research before you go, do you need to take a hairdryer? Are towels provided? Not having to pack these things can save you tons of space! Check also, if you need to dress up for in the evening, if so, you will need to pack dresses and accessories. Again, make your accessories work hard by opting for a bag, belt and jewellery that work with a number of outfits. Shoe wise, check out our cream glitter toe post mules (£6.99), with the bow and diamante charm detailing they add a touch of glamour whether dressed up or dressed down.
Do the laundry: While doing chores is the last thing any of us wants to do while on holiday, by taking a small tube of travel wash you can wash swimwear and underwear in the bathroom sink, while not the most glamorous of holiday tasks, it will mean you can pack less!
Of course, the holiday begins as soon as you lock the front door, so travel in comfort by opting for a pair of nude ballerinas with diamante detailing (£12.99), not only do they hit a number of this season's key trends, but they look great with jeans, shorts and even dresses for a casual look!
Wherever your holiday adventure takes you, have a fantastic time!

Topic: Research on emotions and stress
Posted: 22 Apr 2010 at 12:38pm
Hi everyone,
We've had a note from a Student at Teeside University looking into links between health and emotional well-being.
If you want to take part in her survey please see her message below:
My name is Judith and I am a health psychologist and PhD student at Teesside University.
In my project, I am exploring how emotions are linked to our health. There is some indication in the literature that stressful life experiences, for example bereavement, may be related to one�s well-being.
I am currently looking for women in the UK to take part in an online emotional health programme I have developed. It consists of an 8 week programme designed to improve women's emotional health, and takes place on a web site specifically created for the project.
More information about the study can be found here on the project website: www.emotional-health.net

Dodgers pull it all together behind Kershaw
Dodgers pull it all together behind Kershaw
Jonathan Broxton worked a perfect inning in his return to the endgame, capping a 6-0 Dodgers win over the Rockies. The offense put together a five-run inning and collected a pair of two-out hits to boot. It was a far cry from the 2-5 road trip the Dodgers finished Monday in Atlanta.
Going forward, though, it might only be Clayton Kershaw's seven shutout innings that the Dodgers can find any future promise in.
"After that road trip, we had a lot of wins slip through our fingers," Kershaw said. "For us to come out and swing the bats and get six runs, and for Georgey [Sherrill] to come out in the eighth inning and bail us out of the jam looked really good. And then Brox to come on in the ninth and look like the Brox we all expect was awesome. A lot of things went well."
Broxton's ninth, a non-save situation, did not make the back end of the bullpen any less complicated, although it was a step forward. And the offense, as good as the hit-and-run looked in the fifth with the backup catcher at the plate and the backup shortstop on base, is still no closer to a sure thing until Manny Ramirez and Rafael Furcal return.
"As a manager you certainly want your ballclub to be able to threaten in more innings," Joe Torre said. "We haven't been able to do that. But I'll take the one inning."
Kershaw allowed five hits, three walks and struck out six for his 11th win. The 22-year-old hasn't allowed the Rockies a run in the last 29 innings he's faced them at Dodger Stadium, and in six career home starts he has a 0.58 ERA against them.
"They're a different team in their ballpark," Kershaw said. "They hit a lot better over there. I don't take it for granted, and I know they're a great hitting team."
Colorado came closest to breaking through in the third, when a double steal put two in scoring position for the heart of the order. Kershaw struck out Carlos Gonzalez swinging on four pitches, the last a slider, and Troy Tulowitzki flied out to left.
"We had him where we wanted," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said.
"That was huge," Kershaw said. "Gonzalez has been a hot hitter all year; he's probably been the best hitter over there. I just knew I had to make some pitches to him and I was fortunately able to get him out without a run scoring. With Tulo up after that, those are the two best hitters, so I really just had to bear down and make pitches."
The Rockies also had a 22-year-old on the mound, one who shut out the Dodgers for 7 1/3 innings in May. On Tuesday, Jhoulys Chacin didn't allow a hit until Andre Ethier's one-out single in the fourth inning. A James Loney walk loaded the bases in that inning, and Casey Blake and Matt Kemp left them loaded.
Chacin couldn't work out of another jam in the fifth. Jamey Carroll led off with a full-count walk and moved to third three pitches later on A.J. Ellis' hit-and-run.
"I think when you have a chance, it just comes back to the big hit," Carroll said. "Just finding the right spot. Put it in play, you're giving yourself a chance for something good to happen -- that was the case tonight. And obviously Kershaw was throwing well, it allowed him to go out and finish the next inning good. Gave us some sort of cushion."
It was a rare moment of fluidity for the Dodgers' lineup, and things only got better. Kershaw's sacrifice bunt was followed by a two-run, opposite-field double from Scott Podsednik, who hit .448 on the Dodgers' road trip.
Three more runs came in with two out, starting two batters later. Loney doubled to the right-center gap for a 4-0 lead, and Blake's grounder through the right side, fortunately placed as opposed to hard hit, tacked on one more.
"It was a changeup, a little up," Loney said. "We kept rolling from there. It was definitely good to see everybody."
Blake, 2-for-4, was the only Dodger with multiple hits. The Dodgers starters besides Kershaw all reached base.
Reliever Kenley Jansen let on the first two he faced in the eighth after Kershaw was removed with 116 pitches. Jansen gave way to Sherrill, who escaped the jam, but not before Jansen accidentally threw a pitch to pinch-hitter Seth Smith. Jansen was supposed to attempt a pickoff play at second base before being pulled, but missed the sign, Torre said.
Broxton threw nine pitches in the ninth, seven for strikes. Normal, Broxton said, is what he feels when he has control. He was closer to that Tuesday night, but said he wasn't thinking about what it would take to regain the closer's role.
"It's feeling back to normal," Broxton said. "I got to keep going out there and working on it."
"He looked smoother to me," Torre said. "I just think he's been trying to overthrow the ball."

DESPITE the curmudgeonly quip from a club stalwart that ''there's 428 other players before him, he's just another player'', the imminent Test debut for Rob Quiney, as Australia's 429th representative, will mark a new high point in the history of Washington Park Cricket Club.
It may also elevate the 30-year-old's status within the Carnegie-based club to near that of his revered late father, John Quiney.
As the club's juniors and seniors trained on Thursday night, the noticeboard progressively became short of club announcements and advertising posters as club members brought in copies of every newspaper article of the past week based on its most famous alumni.
A large photo of Quiney cover-driving for Victoria adorns one of the dressing room walls, yet it is dubbed the ''Quiney wall'' for other reasons. Next to it is a framed cap of his father, as well as a portrait of ''JQ''. Above all of them is the club honour board that showed Quiney snr was the club's president for 15 years until 2000-01, and was inducted as a life member in 1998. He also had a stint as the league's treasurer and was also its convener of umpires.
Washington Park president Graeme Dellora, a former on-field teammate of JQ's, said many of Rob's childhood Saturdays were spent at the club's JT Packer home ground, from before juniors began at 8am to after seniors finished at 8pm - and often longer.
''His [Quiney snr's] whole life was cricket … and Rob was always hanging around the place. Even when it got dark you'd look outside and see Rob with a bat in his hand wanting someone to throw the ball to him,'' Dellora said.
While Rob left in his late teens to try his luck with St Kilda, he periodically ventures back, bringing his used Bushrangers training gear to give to the club's juniors. He was there about a fortnight ago with his partner Helen and infant daughter Amelia - in the days before his pivotal Australia A performance in Sydney - for Washington Park's Ladies Day fundraiser.
''He does come to all our sports nights, trivia nights, always sitting over there with his family,'' said Dellora, gesturing to a corner of the rooms.
''I guess it's a family thing too, because his sister [Nicole] is the treasurer and she feels she needs to give something back to the club because of how much the club gave to her family, even though her dad gave more than the club ever gave him.''
Dellora reckoned the biggest similarity between father and son was that both were typically ''relaxed, fit in well, know everybody - and make it a point to know everybody''.
''He [Rob] is just unassuming, he never pumps his own tyres up, which a lot of top athletes do. He'd push other guys up ahead of himself.''
If Australia does not bat first the Sharks are selfishly, but understandably, hoping their most famous left-hander will stride to the crease at the Gabba early on Saturday, to a reception likely to be raucous in Brisbane but guaranteed to be raucous at Sharks headquarters as they gather for a celebratory barbecue - before their attention shifts to their 2nd XI successfully defending 288 at home.

Core's a pretty "usual set of suspects" on that :-). The issue of whether it all precisely fits with "democracy" or "autocracy" or such seems pretty iffy, in any case. It's _not_ an "anarchal syndicalist commune" (in Monty Python and the Holy Grail style), but attempts to pigeonhole these things surely point people's thoughts to Pythonesque zaniness. The slant that hasn't been noticed that is probably the _real_ desire is for people to look at things with the following parallel: - MySQL gets compared to "representative democracy," the wondrous way of the US. - The alternatives are _obviously_ suspiciously UnAmerican political arrangements. Heavens! "Pure democracy!" that's the sort of UnAmerican arrangement that only occurs in a "peoples' democratic republic," which means that our corporate friends are wrapped in the Red, White, and Blue, and the rest of us must be, well, Reds... -- output = reverse("gro.mca" "@" "enworbbc") http://cbbrowne.com/info/postgresql.html Monday is an awful way to spend one seventh of your life. -- Unknown

In Andalusia, Spain, the pandemic influenza A(H1N1)v virus has spread throughout the community, being the dominant influenza strain in the season so far. The current objective of the Andalusia Health Service is focussed on the mitigation of the health and social impact by appropriate care of the patients at home or in health centres. The 2009-10 seasonal influenza epidemic started early compared with to previous seasons. This article analyses the influenza A(H1N1)v situation in Andalusia until the week 39/2009.
In Spain, first suspected cases of pandemic H1N1 influenza were notified on 26 April 2009. Starting with these first cases, an epidemic outbreak of a holomiantic nature was seen in Andalusia, with the primary cases in students who had travelled to Mexico and secondary cases in their families. There were 44 confirmed cases in this first epidemic wave until 5 May 2009. The average age of the cases was 24 years (range: 14-55 years). In 42 of them, the main symptoms were fever and cough, and 18 also had diarrhoea. All of them had mild clinical signs without complications [1].
During the first days of the outbreak, contingency plans were set up based on epidemiological surveillance, and outbreak control measures were adopted through early alert and rapid response systems. Protocols integrated the activities of the public health services, healthcare services, and the influenza reference laboratories [2]. The objective was initially to slow down the propagation of infection by identifying cases according to clinical and epidemiological criteria, reporting the first generation imported cases, their treatment, the measures adopted to prevent secondary cases and outbreaks, with an active search for any contacts. As a preventive measure, cases and contacts received treatment with oseltamivir with the recommendation to remain at home.
The declaration of pandemic phase 6 by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 June 2009 [3] indicated that it was no longer feasible to stop the spread of the new influenza virus. Since then, the epidemiological surveillance strategies have been aimed at defining scenarios that could aid healthcare services to respond to this emergency in order to reduce transmission and the number of affected people, and to identify and protect the most vulnerable population groups.
Surveillance of influenza in Andalusia
The epidemiological and virological surveillance of influenza in Andalusia is carried out through the Medical Sentinel Network of the Andalusian Epidemiological Surveillance System (SVEA), which consists of 128 sentinel physicians chosen according to population distribution, who are based in primary healthcare centres and cover 170,668 inhabitants (2.08% of the Andalusian population). The influenza reference laboratory, located at the 'Virgen de las Nieves' hospital in Granada, is part of this network.
The surveillance of severe cases is undertaken through the SVEA, by means of individualised notification of the cases admitted to the public hospitals of Andalusia. Information about the use of emergency services was also collected from the computerised emergency records of public hospitals.
A case of influenza was defined as established by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) [4]. The presence of influenza A(H1N1)v was confirmed by realtime PCR carried out with SW H1 forward and SW H1 reverse primers and Taqman SW H1 probe targeted at the H1 gene of this virus, as recommended [5].
Characteristics of pandemic H1N1 influenza cases in Andalusia
After the first pandemic wave in April and May 2009, the influenza activity in Andalusia decreased before the summer. New cases were seen in week 28 (beginning 6 July) and increased until week 39 (beginning 21 September), when the registered influenza incidence reached 147 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Weekly influenza incidence rate and isolated influenza viruses, Andalusia, 2008-9 and 2009-10 seasons
In weeks 38 and 39/2009, the incidence was higher than the epidemic threshold, established as 64.1 cases per 100,000. That implies a widespread dissemination of influenza within the population, two months ahead of the usual period for seasonal influenza. The increased influenza activity in this period is associated with a widespread escalation of the circulation of the influenza A(H1N1)v virus. Since week 28, all circulating influenza viruses have been sub-typed and identified as influenza A(H1N1)v (see Figure 1).
The cumulative incidence rate for influenza until week 39 week was 643 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. In that week the highest rates were registered in the age group of 5-14 year-olds with 132 cases per 100,000, followed by the under five year-olds with 28 cases per 100,000. The incidence rate for those over 64 years of age was six cases per 100,000. Almost all cases showed mild symptoms lasting for a few days and responded to antipyretic treatment. The most frequent symptoms were fever and cough in 94% and 88% of the cases, respectively.
In the study period, 311 of the confirmed cases notified in Andalusia were severe and required hospitalisation. Of those, 28 (9%) were admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). The hospitalisation rate for influenza was 3.7 per 100,000 inhabitants. Males represented 41% of the hospitalised cases, and 59% were female, a male/female ratio of 0.69.The age of the hospitalised cases ranged between 2 and 86 years, and 92% were under 65 years old. The average age of the cases admitted to ICUs was 38 years, with a median age of 35 years.
The most frequently registered complication during the course of the disease in severely ill patients was primary viral pneumonia, in 120 cases (39%). About 75% of them were 15 to 59 years of age.
For 137 of the 311 hospitalised cases (44%), information on risk factors was recorded (see Table). Main risk factors were: prior pulmonary pathology (especially asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) in 38% of them, a history of cardiovascular disease (18%), immunodeficiency (12%), diabetes (13%), cancer (7%), morbid obesity (6%), and convulsive disorders (3%).
Forty-one of the 311 hospitalised cases were under 15 years of age. Information on risk factors was recorded for 19 of them. Fifteen (80%) presented at least one risk factor (mainly asthma and other chronic pulmonary diseases).
Of the 28 cases admitted to ICUs (including adults and children), information on risk factors was obtained for 20 cases (Table 1). The most common factors were prior pulmonary pathology (chronic respiratory disease or asthma) in eight cases and diabetes in four cases. One case did not present any risk factor.
Table. Characteristics of severe cases of influenza A(H1N1)v, Andalusia, weeks 17 39/2009
In the same period, 13 deaths due to influenza A(H1N1)v were registered in Andalusia. The estimated death rate was 0.02%. The average age of death was 44.3 years (range: 9 85 years). Information about risk factors was recorded in 10 of them. They were prior pulmonary pathology (especially chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), diabetes, morbid obesity (body mass index ≥40), renal failure, convulsive disorders and cardiopathy.
For 75 of all hospitalised cases, we had information on the time from beginning of symptoms to start of treatment. The median time was three days (range 0-24 days). This delay increased with the severity of cases: a median of three days for the 66 hospitalised, and of four days for the nine cases admitted to ICUs.
The impact of the H1N1 influenza pandemic on the health services in Andalusia was most obvious at the beginning, between weeks 17 (beginning 20 April) and 21/2009. Attendance of hospital emergency departments peaked during this period (Figure 2). This peak in emergencies represented the alarm the first cases of pandemic H1N1 influenza caused in the population and did not reflect the number of notified cases during this outbreak. The containment measures undertaken, together with environmental factors (increased temperatures), and a reduction in the flow of travellers returning from Mexico, contributed to the control of the first phase of the outbreak. From week 22 to week 39/2009, the frequency of emergencies was similar to that observed in the previous year, despite the increase in the incidence of influenza that took place after week 28.
Figure 2. Influenza incidence rate and hospital emergencies in Andalusia, 2005-2009
Most cases of influenza caused by the pandemic influenza A(H1N1)v virus presented with a mild clinical picture similar to seasonal influenza. The majority of cases occurred in children of school age and in adults under 65 years of age, with the highest frequency of severe and fatal cases found in young adults. A significant proportion of those presented risk factors such as chronic pulmonary pathologies, cardiopathy, diabetes and morbid obesity. Similar results were observed in rest of Spain in the same period [1,2]. It was observed that a delay in the start of treatment increased the severity of the cases.

Melinda Clarke
Melinda Clarke stars on The O.C. as hot-yet-devious mom Julie Cooper-Nichol, and had a recurring role as Lady Heather on CSI. She's guest-starred on many TV shows, including Charmed, Everwood, The District, Nash Bridges, Xena: Warrior Princess, and Seinfeld.
AppealMelinda Clarke has sex appeal to spare. Even before her sexy role as Julie, the mom everyone loves to hate on the hit show The O.C., she vamped it up. She played the woman who convinced Jerry to shave his chest on an episode of Seinfeld, and was memorable as Lady Heather, a professional dominatrix who had the normally unflappable Gil Grissom (played by William L. Petersen) wrapped around her finger on CSI.
That's not to say that Melinda doesn't have a wild side in real life, too. On Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Melinda admitted that she got really drunk at her wedding reception in 1997, doing an exotic pole dance to The Doors' classic "LA Woman" in front of everyone. While she gains sexiness points for that sort of behavior, she naturally loses them for being married, hence unavailable.
SuccessMelinda Clarke has carved out a successful career for herself as a genre actress. Starting out on the daytime soap Days of Our Lives in the late 1980s, she's appeared on numerous TV shows, including Xena: Warrior Princess, Seinfeld, Sliders, Nash Bridges, Star Trek: Enterprise, Charmed, Everwood, The District, and CSI. She's also had roles in movies, most notably Mulholland Falls (1996) and Spawn (1997).
Fame has been a little elusive for Melinda. Although she has been on many hit shows over the last decade or so, she never became a big name; perhaps as a regular on The O.C., this will change. Nevertheless, she's had unique and broad exposure, posing for FHM and Maxim, and she even has two action figures modeled after her: one as Jessica Priest from Spawn, and another as the evil Velasca from Xena: Warrior Princess.
Melinda Clarke BiographyMelinda Clarke was born on April 24, 1969, in Dana Point, California. Her father, John, is an actor, while her mother, Patricia, is a ballet dancer; with both parents in the arts, Melinda followed in their footsteps. She was trained in dance and ballet, and even as a coloratura soprano, while growing up with brother Joshua and sister Heidi (who died in 1994). Once in her teens, Melinda decided to pursue acting, her father's profession.
Melinda moved to Los Angeles to start her acting career at age 18; in no time at all, she had her first job, playing Faith Taylor on Days of Our Lives. Of course, it didn't hurt that Melinda's father John had been a regular on that daytime soap since it first began back in 1965. Melinda left the show after a brief stint from 1989 to 1990.
melinda clarke on xena and seinfeld
During the first half of the 1990s, Melinda took roles in mostly forgettable movies, such as Hot Under the Collar (1991), Return of the Living Dead 3 (1993), Young Goodman Brown (1993), Out for Blood (1993), and Return to Two Moon Junction (1994). During this time, she turned down a role in Scream (1996) -- reportedly because she didn't want to be in another horror movie like Return of the Living Dead 3 -- and she was also one of a few actresses to turn down the starring role in TV's Xena: Warrior Princess.
Nevertheless, things began to pick up for Melinda during the rest of the decade. In a bit of a reversal, she appeared in the cult horror outing The Killer Tongue in 1996. She then appeared in Spawn (1997) and became a bigger TV star, landing guest shots on Xena, Seinfeld and Sliders, and starring in S.O.F. Special Ops Force.
After 2000, Melinda appeared on Nash Bridges, Charmed, Star Trek: Enterprise and Everwood, had a role in the pilot for First Monday, and had memorable recurring roles on The District, as Detective Olivia Cahill, and on CSI, as Lady Heather.
melinda clarke on the o.c.
In 2003, Melinda Clarke lent her voice to The Animatrix and began starring on the new FOX hit show The O.C.. As Julie Cooper-Nichol, Melinda has helped redefine that staple character of prime-time soaps, the Machiavellian matriarch. She's already dumped one husband when it looked like his fortunes were falling and found another richer and older one; plus, she had an affair with her daughter's ex-boyfriend after putting her daughter -- played by Mischa Barton -- in therapy.
But thankfully, real life isn't that dramatic for Melinda. In June 1997, she married Ernie Mirich in a small, private ceremony with friends and family in her hometown of Dana Point (actress Charlotte Ross was one of Melinda's bridesmaids). The two now have a daughter, Kathryn Grace.

Follow @MiamiRedHawks and @MiamiOH_FH on Twitter
Sept. 1, 2001
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Miami (2-0) freshman Megan Weigand (Encinitas, Calif./La Costa Canyon) tallied her first collegiate goal late in the second half Saturday afternoon to give the RedHawks a 2-1 victory over Lehigh (0-2). The RedHawk freshman recorded the goal with only 5:50 remaining in the contest to give Miami its second straight victory.
"I'm proud that we were able to keep our heads on straight after trailing early in the second half," said Coach Lil Fesperman. "We had people today that aren't used to playing 70 minutes really come up big for us."
In a neutral site contest on Syracuse's Coyne Field, the Red and White held Lehigh to a scoreless tie after 30 minutes of action. The Mountain Hawks narrowly missed taking a 1-0 lead into the lockerroom when Jane Knowles' penalty stroke was stopped by Miami's senior goalkeeper Marie Vaughn (Davis, Calif./Davis) at 26:07 in the first half. The save was one of four for Vaughn in the first period. Vaughn finished the game with a season-high 12 saves.
"We never really got into our game-plan during the first half and as a result looked really flat," commented Fesperman. "Our style of play is a focused possession game and we were playing the big-ball game instead."
The first team to strike in the second half was Lehigh with 24:39 remaining off an unassisted goal by Cindy Tindall. An unphased RedHawk team responded just 3:14 later when freshman Meredith Lee (San Jose, Calif./Lynbrook) scored her first collegiate goal off a pass from junior Sarah Clarke (Bridgewater, Mass./West Bridgewater). Lee continued her outstanding play throughout the second period by making a defensive stop and later assisting Weigand on the game-winning goal.
"Meredith played out of her head for us today," said Fesperman. "She came off the bench and put forth an unbelievable effort to help us win."
Despite being outshot 18-9 by Lehigh, the RedHawks improve to 2-0 for the first time since the 1998 campaign when they began the season with three victories. Miami will play Syracuse tomorrow, Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.

Coach Rick Neuheisel said Monday quarterback Kevin Prince has "better than a 50-50 chance" of playing against San Jose State on Saturday. Prince suffered a concussion and AC sprain in his right shoulder on the same play against Houston.
X-rays were negative and an MRI revealed no damage in the shoulder.
Prince is expected to practice Tuesday, but to what extent remains to be seen. Neuheisel said Richard Brehaut will start if Prince is limited this week, but both quarterbacks will play if Prince is available.
"I don't see any reason not to keep them both in the mix," Neuheisel said. "I don't think (sitting Prince) would be fair. He's desperate to play."
Neuheisel said a healthy Prince still might start because he's "a little bit faster player at quarterback."
Brehaut, of course, ran for a career-high 87 yards against Houston.
"He was terrific. I was proud of Richard," Neuheisel said. "Still things we can get better at, as is the case with Kevin. As a quarterback coach, you're going to be critical and you're going to keep demanding things to be improved. But there was lots that can be taken from the game that are positive."
A few other notes from Neuheisel's Monday press conference:
**Offensive lineman Jeff Baca is scheduled to return to practice Tuesday. Baca broke his left ankle this past spring and also missed the 2010 season because he was academically ineligible.
Neuheisel said he will play left tackle, which likely means Sean Sheller will move to guard. Baca, who has 21 career starts, is questionable to play Saturday.
**Neuheisel said strong-side linebacker Glenn Love is now questionable for San Jose State. UCLA initially expected him to miss at least two weeks.
**Neuheisel said the placekicking competition is open again, this after Kip Smith missed a field goal and extra point in the fourth quarter. Neuheisel said he expects Smith to be the long-term solution but he might need more work in the interim.
"You can't watch him in practice and not come away thinking there's a kicker inside," Neuheisel said. "We just got to get him to trust himself."
**Neuheisel said UCLA's defense will have to play faster if it is to fare better in new coordinator Joe Tresey's system. I'll have more on that later.

Paramount jumping HD DVD ship, says Sony
We'll take this with a huge truck load of salt. Sony's product manager of the home video business group, Rachel Banin, is claiming that Paramount will eventually find itself in bed with Blu-ray. Banin, of course, pulls out a few statistics during the interview to prove BD-R's superiority like BD-R outsells HD DVD 4:1, but I'm not drinking the kool aid, Rachel. Read More

$999 LG BF200 would swing both ways if Blu-Ray and HD DVD were sexual orientations
The format war is over, kids. It's going to be a Blu-Ray/HD DVD world whether we like it or not and getting one or the other right now is probably a bad idea. Witness the BF200 from LG, arriving now for $999. Here's my take: While pure play devices might pop up in consoles — as they have — and some low-cost devices — as they have — these are basically a way… Read More
PS3 to get Blu-Ray update for picture-in-picture
Sony's console will be getting its Blu-ray firmware updated to version 1.1 later this month, allowing for picture-in-picture functionality and support for discs which require it.

It's intended to allow for a video… Read More

Format wars: Come together or die
As I've said before, the so-called format war won't be coming to an end anytime this year or next. It's not really even a war amongst the two formats.

Now, we all know the only way to get out of said trap is to come together or… Read More
Canon takes the hassle out of burning Blu-ray discs

Sony drops PS3 price by $100, sales double
Funny how economics works, huh? Sony's lackluster PlayStation 3 sales more than doubled recently thanks to the introduction of the new 40GB model and a $100 price cut on the 80GB model. Sony CEO Howard Stringer said, "It's the breakthrough we've been anticipating. We've been holding our breath." Hardly a breakthrough when seen in simple economic terms. Read More

Sony brass thinks Blu-ray vs HD DVD is a 'stalemate'
Howard Stringer (Sony Corp. CEO) says that Blu-ray and HD DVD are in a stalemate. He has to say that, though.

As it stands right now, I wouldn't buy a Blu-ray player for $450 when… Read More

That comes close to Sony's Blu-ray player, the BDP-S300, which retails for $499 and has shipped around 100k since its debut in the summer. Figures are expected to be higher for Toshiba because not all retailers have reported back. Not too shabby, guys. Have… Read More
Sony to go *hog wild* for 40GB PS3 launch

LG BH200 combo HD DVD / Blu-ray player will be expensive
Currently, Circuit City is listing LG's much-anticipated BH200 combination Blu-ray / HD DVD / DVD player for $799.99.

With three minutes to go in the first quarter of Friday night's playoff game against Pace (Fla.), Cove (Fla.), St. Johns (Fla.) Bartram Trail trailed 16-0. A quarter later, the Bears had pulled to 16-14, just a field goal away from taking the lead.
Enter Cole Leininger. The big-legged dual-threat kicker hammered home a 46-yarder to give Bartram Trail the lead -- one it would not relinquish, en route to a 34-24 win.
Click Here to view this Link.Not a bad way to celebrate his commitment to Bears of a different color. Leininger committed to play for CaliforniaClick Here to view this Link. earlier this week, after receiving a scholarship offer following a practice observed by special teams coordinator Jeff GenykClick Here to view this Link. the week after Thanksgiving, Bartram Trail head coach Darrell Sutherland said on Saturday.
"He's done great," Sutherland said. "He's kicked the game-winner a week ago, and had a couple of punts where he just totally flipped the field for us, and then, the same thing last night. He's been kicking touchbacks for us, and he hit a field goal for us last night. He's just done a great job."
While Leininger's kick on Friday night gave the Bears the lead, his kick one week ago was even more clutch.
"The one that he hit a week ago was as time ran out, to win the game," Sutherland said.
According to Chris Sailer, Leininger is "perhaps the best combo prospect" in the 2012 class, with a 45.13-yard punting average, and while Cal initially was looking at Leininger as a punter, the Bears might think twice about having him succeed Giorgio Tavecchio in placekicking duties.
"We do some things where we place him around and do some different things, but for the most part, when we've asked him to kick it in the end zone, he does," Sutherland said.
Of his 77 kickoffs, Leininger has put 54 in the end zone, averaging 59.44 yards per drive.
"I know that he's a multi-talented young man, so I'm sure that would be appealing to anyone -- the idea that he's obviously a really good punter, but that he's also pretty accomplished as a field goal and kickoff guy too," Sutherland said. "He's a fantastic young man.
"He's a really, really solid student. Cal's a great fit for him. He's not just very gifted, academically, but he's also a really hard worker, so I think he's just off the charts."
